I went thru it all. It was long and it was hard to bear all the criticism of Lutheran's and Catholic's doctrines. As far as I have seen via studies, all denominations(including SDAs) are BLIND. That's what Jesus said to us about the Laodicean Church. It's sad the SDA Church is arrogant in taking a stand of knowing truth. I guess that's the mark of the Laodicean Church, they don't know they are blind.
I scanned this up to the 48 minute mark. Interesting info - the convergence of expectations in 2017 - the Jubilee by the Pope, the fulfillment of the medieval Rabbis' prophecy, the 500th anniversary of the Reformation, the 100th anniversary of the Fatima apparition of Mary.
Something worth pointing out concerning these 3 events Mark mentions above that their prophetic timeline shows these emerging on 2017.
On the 40min mark with Judah Ben Samuel who they claim was an ex-Jew who was an expert on the Jubilee law and have made these prediction. The irony of it all -- he's not much of an expert at all for he constructed his timeline counting 50 years for a Jubilee cycle when he should of counted 49 years. I mean that's knowledge you learn in Jubilee 101.
The 50th year and the 1st year is the same year. So his timeline of 10 Jubilee cycles is 500 years instead of being 490 years(=70 weeks of 7 years) that we see in Daniel. That tells us a lot of his level of expertise. His timeline doesn’t hold water.
Walter mist that.
Concerning the date of 2017, despite of their faulty timellne and trying to show these 3 events emerge on 2017 and prophecising of a coming Jubilee in 2017 -- the date 2017 is still an important date and I think there is potentially will be a Jubilee type on that year. Nothing to do with the events they have attached to it; but the event the Lord has put into it to be the end of the CABAL(Mystery Babylon) Empire ruling. It appears that by 2017 Mystery Babylon's system will be destroyed (see
Post#161945) and 2017 will end the Israelites captivity period of 7 times(7x 360 = 2520 years). So based on that, I'm expecting that there will be a type of Jubilee in 2017 resulting from the collapse of Mystery Babylon.
I think by now the Cabals knows that they will fall in 2017 (as all the signs is pointing to a soon economic collapse and an increasing world's nation shifting to China and Russia's economic platform since 2012). So the Pope's prophesy put in place is probably based on the info circulating he has by being inside the loop of the Elites circle. So by taking advantage of this inside scoop, this prophesy will give some appearance that the RCC's have a "prophetic eye" and might give the Church a sort of
survival standing amid this coming collapse. I think the RCC is trying to save their skin with this Jubilee prophesy. Despite, all denomination (including the RCC) will be shaken to their core as the Lord will have more of His truth emerge as the years progress. So I think this RCC prophesy very interesting by giving us some info what is known inside their Elites circle.
Another thing worth mentioning, is a Jubilee is to be declare on the day of Atonement. The Pope first declared it to be on December 11 2015 (and in that document it was changed to December 8th???). Regardless, neither of these dates were the day of Atonement which was Sept 23. A declaration of the Jubilee happens on the 10th day of the 7th month of the 49th year. The year of Jubilee would role unto the next year which is the 50th year and the 1st year of the next cycle. So technically 2016 should be the Jubilee if it is announced the fall of the 2015 as I think the Pope attempted to do. So I was surprise that they accounted 2017 as the year of Jubilee and not 2016.
Concerning Mark's comment that 2015 being a year of Jubilee (well the 49th year of the cycle) I guess it depends which calendar we are using. Like I mentioned in Mark's "A super Jubilee" discussion(
post#177648, that the Jewish Jubilee calendar is off from the Lord's creation calendar. When Israel were to enter the promise land on the 1.5 year they were in the wilderness and believed the 10 evil reports instead of the Joshua and Caleb's good report. -- that day was the day of atonement -- a day of decision. They should of blown the Jubilee trumpet on that day and make that day a day of Jubilation; but instead, because lack of faith they did not and turn that day into a day of sorrow and weeping.
That year was the 50th jubilee cycle from Adam creation, but they did not enter the promise land in that year. The Israelites entered Canaan 38 years later. Their Jubilee Calendar started when they entered Canaan and started counting the 7th year rest year from that year which was something like 11 years off from the creation Jubilee cycle. This is a study that I haven't completed yet, but we need to take that discrepency of these two calendars into account. Then in the 70 weeks from after the captivity there was a 76 years lapse before that count that also affected the Jewish Jubilee calendar versus the Lord's Creation calendar. I believe the Lord made some correction to bring us closer in sync. My understanding we're now only one week off to the Creation calendar. Anyway that's quite a tedious study to take.
Thus, to my understanding the next Creation Jubilee cycle ends (1986 + 49) in 2035. However, the destruction of Mystery Babylon appears to end in 2017 (see
Post#161945). So I do expect a Jubilee TYPE of event occuring in 2017 with the freeing of the people from the Babylonian captivity as seen back in the 530s BC with old Babylon. Despite the world will probably experience a type of Jubilee, 2017 is not a Jubilee year.
I would expect the 2nd coming of Christ to happen on a Jubilee year from the Creation Calendar, thus on 2035, but maybe this might be cut short. I do not know the year; but I'm watching what the Lord is doing thru the events He's fulfilling every year and trying to understand what He's revealing to us in these that occurs during His feasts dates and other important watch dates.
