Shavuot / Yovel Cycle

5/27/2021

1 Comment

 
Shalom everyone. Since we just celebrated Shavuot (Pentecost) ​I thought I would post a short study I did on the omer counting and the yovel (jubilee) counting. Leading up to Shavuot this just popped into my head and I had to get it down on paper. I haven't dipped my toe in the "what year is the sh'mita year" controversy, but this just came to me. My typical response is that depending on who you ask, every year can be the sh'mita year, but I had a bit of a revelation and this is what came of it. Take it with a grain of salt.

The Shavuot and yovel cycles are both cycles of 49+1 and they should also match up in how they are counted. For Shavuot we start the counting after the Shabbat during the feast of unleavened bread. We count 6 days and then the first of 7 Sabbaths comes. Continuing the counting we complete 7 Sabbath cycles of 7 days each to come to 49 days (7x7=49) and on the morrow after the seventh Sabbath we celebrate the feast of Shavuot on the 50th day. This is all in Leviticus chapter 23. This 50th day happens to be the 1st day of a new counting of 7 for the following week. So that there are only 5 working days that particular week until the next Shabbat. 

The yovel year and sh'mita cycle should be counted exactly the same. Counting 6 years and then the first of 7 land Sabbaths (sh'mita years) comes. Continuing the counting we complete 7 sh'mita cycles of 7 years each to come to 49 years (7x7=49) and on the year after the 7th sh'mita year we celebrate the yovel on the 50th year. Just like the Shavuot cycle, this 50th year happens to be the 1st year of a new counting of 7 for the following sh'mita cycle. So that there are only 5 years to work the land that particular sh'mita cycle until the next sh'mita year.  See the chart labeled "Shavuot / Yovel Cycle (days and years)" below. ​

​So the revelation was that the 50th year and the 1st year are the same. That would mean that the yovel cycle would be every 49 years and not every 50 years as I previously believed. In the country of Israel they began the counting of the sh'mita years in 1945. Some interesting things happened that year, particularly important to this discussion is the defeat of Germany and the end of WW2. If that is not a year to celebrate a jubilee I don't know what is. So I am making some big assumptions here, but for arguments sake, let's assume that the new beginning of the sh'mita cycle after almost 2,000 years is in fact the yovel year. That would make 1994 and 2043 yovel years as well. It is interesting to note that the sh'mita cycle in Israel is an unending cycle of sevens and they have not intercalated a 50th year as the yovel year.  They do not believe they can fulfill the yovel until all of Israel is under their control. ​

The thing that intrigued me the most was: does this line up with a certain historical data point I am aware of? The 2nd Temple was destroyed in 70 CE and the Talmud records that the destruction of the Temple was in the going out of the sh'mita year, meaning the year after a sh'mita year. Using the table below labeled "Yovel Years" we can see that if my above assumptions are correct, 83 CE was a yovel year meaning 82 CE was a sh'mita year. Counting back 14 years or 2 cycles of sh'mita years we can see that 68 CE was a sh'mita year. Traditionally sh'mita years start in the fall at Yom Teruah. So this means that fall 68 CE to fall 69 CE was a sh'mita year and that fall 69 CE to fall of 70 CE was the year after the sh'mita. The Temple was destroyed on the 9th of Av in 70 CE, this matches up perfectly. ​

So like I said, take it with a grain of salt. There are a lot of assumptions there including with the way Shavuot is calculated, when the yovel year count starts, and what year the Temple was destroyed. But it just kind of hit me and I had to write it down and when I did the math it all worked out.  Fun with math, something to think about. Shalom. ​

my testimony
6/22/2021 11:06:25 pm

My testimony Matthew 24:15;Revelation 17:8;Dan8:11;Luke 4:9;Ezek8:3,5
Hello,
I am the witness with a testimony in seeing two identical "image" of Jesus Christ in the heavenly realm (Matt24:15;Rev17:8;Dan8:11; Luke 4:9; Ezek8:3,5) and warning the people to get into prayer ASAP.
1 Chronicles 7:14, And My people, upon whom My name is called, humble themselves and pray and seek My presence and repent of their evil ways, I shall hear from heaven and forgive their sin and heal their land.
Churches around the world follow the counterfeit Jesus, counterfeit scriptures of the prophets found in the old testament Holy Bible.
Churches around the world do not have the real Holy Spirit.
What happen?
Teachings of the Messiah
For over 1500 years there has been two different teachings of the Messiah from two different bibles having the same prophets but two different versions.

Who’s telling the truth? Jewish Torah “Chabad” or non-Jewish Holy Bible “Old Testament”?

We have the Holy Bible which started teaching over 1500 years the Messiah comes from the seed of David by non-human conception between a woman and a spirit.

Holy Bible KJV scriptures
2 Samuel 7:12, And when thy days be fulfilled, and thou shalt sleep with thy fathers, I will set up thy seed after thee, which shall proceed out of thy bowels, and I will establish his kingdom.
Isaiah 7:14, Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.
Isaiah 9:6, For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.
1 Chronicles 17:11, And it shall come to pass, when thy days be expired that thou must go to be with thy fathers, that I will raise up thy seed after thee, which shall be of thy sons; and I will establish his kingdom.

We have the Torah “Chabad” which has been teaching over two thousand years the Messiah comes from the seed of David by human conception between a man and a woman according to the flesh.

Torah “Chabad” scriptures
2 Samuel 7:12, When your days are finished and you shall lie with your forefathers, then I will raise up your seed that shall proceed from your body after you, and I will establish his kingdom.
Isaiah 7:14, Therefore, the Lord, of His own, shall give you a sign; behold, the young woman is with child, and she shall bear a son, and she shall call his name Immanuel.
Isaiah 9:5, For a child has been born to us, a son given to us, and the authority is upon his shoulder, and the wondrous adviser, the mighty God, the everlasting Father, called his name, "the prince of peace."
1 Chronicles 17:11, When your days are complete to go to your forefathers, I will raise up after you your offspring who will be from among your sons, and I shall make his kingdom firm. He shall build a Temple for Me, and I shall make his throne firm forever.

Hidden truth has been uncovered about the twelve chosen disciples!
Over two thousand years ago the twelve chosen disciples [Matthias] preached the man Jesus Christ fulfilled the Messianic words in the scriptures of the prophets from the original Torah “Chabad” known as the “Mystery of God” Revelation 10:7!
I say “Chabad” because it is the closes to authentic writings of the Torah. I also have synagogue edition books. Such as, Tehillim, Chumash, etc..
Have you ever heard or seen any preacher walk into a Jewish synagogue and preach Jesus from the Torah scriptures like chosen disciples and disciple Paul [Saul]? No because for over 1500 years the gentiles have had the wrong scriptures of the prophets in the Holy Bible Old Testament.

Restored words of disciple Peter
Disciple Peter,
Of which salvation the prophets have inquired and searched diligently, who prophesied of the promise that should come to you: Searching what, or what manner of time the Spirit of God which was in them did signify, when they testified beforehand the sufferings of the Messiah, and the resurrection that should follow.
To whom he was revealed, that not to themselves, but to us they did prophesy the words of God, which are now revealed to you by us that have preached the word of salvation (Acts13:26) to you with the Holy Spirit sent down from heaven (Acts2:2-3); which prophesies the angels of God desire to look into (Torah “Chabad” Daniel8:13) 1 Peter 1:9-12

Restored words of disciple Paul (Saul)

Disciple Paul (Saul)
Now to Him that is of authority to establish you according to my testimony (Acts22:18), and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery, which was kept secret since the world began, But now is made manifest by the scriptures of the prophets, according to the commandment of the everlasting God, made known to all nations for the obedience to the Law of Moses “Torah
