New information has been acquired that adds even more credence to the very strong possibility of the Rapture within days.
Please see the following previous blog entries for details of the other recent astounding facts regarding this very real possibility:
The learned Bible scholars of the Prophecy in the News ministry have just announced that according to the ancient book Of Jubilees, this month could introduce a seven-year sabbatical cycle.
Please note that the oldest and most complete manuscript of the Book of Jubilees was found among the Dead Sea Scrolls, along with copies of other books of the Bible that were canonized and included in today's Bible, by the early church.
The Book of Jubilees presents "the history of the division of the days of the Law, of the events of the years, the year-weeks, and the jubilees of the world" as secretly revealed to Moses. "
"The chronology given in Jubilees is based on multiples of seven; the jubilees are periods of 49 years, seven 'year-weeks', into which all of time has been divided. According to the author of Jubilees, all proper customs that mankind should follow are determined by God's decree."
Note that God's pattern of timekeeping is based upon periods of 7 years of which each period is to considered a sabbatical cycle.
At the end of seven sabbatical cycles of seven years (49 years) it is to be considered a Jubliee year (the 50th year).
The concept of the Jubilee year is a special year of remission of sins and universal pardon.
In the Old Testament Book of Leviticus, a Jubilee year is mentioned to occur every fifty years, in which slaves and prisoners would be freed, debts would be forgiven and the mercies of God would be particularly manifest.
It is important to note that the city of Jerusalem was recaptured from the Ottoman Turks by General Allenby in 1917.
This restarted the Jubilee cycles as The Balfour Declaration of 1917 resulted from this retaking of Jerusalem.
The Balfour Declaration, in essence, provided a Jewish homeland for the Jewish people who had been dispersed since around AD 70.
Therefore, the next Jubilee would be 50 years later, which would be 1967.
The Jubilee year of 1967 resulted in the momentous recapture of the holy Temple Mount by the children of Israel.
Most Bible prophecy experts (eschatologists) agree that the Second Coming of Christ will have to occur on a Jubilee year.
Just as prisoners are to be set free and debts forgiven, so will be the events at the return of Christ, to the earth, at the end of time.
Count back seven years from 2017 and we land in 2010. The fact that this seventh and last Sabbatical cycle starts at Rosh Hashanah this year appears to provide further evidence that the Rapture of those who belong to the risen Christ may well occur this week.
It correlates with the beginning of the Tribulation period which according to many factors will end at the Jubilee of 2017.
Let us remember that Jesus told us that this generation will not pass away before all the end times signs come to pass.
34 I tell you the truth, this generation will certainly not pass away until all these things have happened.
The generation who saw the fig tree, (Israel) sprout leaves began back in 1948, when Israel became a nation.
The year 2017 will be the end of the 70th year from 1948 which is thought to be the length of the Biblical generation.
The year 2017 will be the end of the 70th year from 1948 which is thought to be the length of the Biblical generation.
Therefore, it is clear that the Jubilee in 2017 would have to be the last year to qualify for the end of the generation that saw Israel become a nation.
Counting backwards from 2017 lands us in 2010.
As such, it appears that the Tribulation will have to begin in 2010. This further confirms the potential of a Rapture this Rosh Hashanah.
Please note that Rosh Hashanah, according to NASA's prediction of phases of the new moon, officially begins today at sundown on Wednesday, September 8, 2010.
However, Biblically, the feast begins when two witnesses sight the new moon in Jerusalem and report their sightings to the calendar court authorities of the Sanhedrin.
Therefore, the new moon was not fixed by astronomical calculation, but was solemnly proclaimed after two witnesses had testified to the reappearance of the crescent of the moon.
As such, Rosh Hashanah/Yom Teruah Biblically does not begin until the sighting of the new moon in Israel by two witnesses, who then report it to the Sanhedrin.
Note that the Sanhedrin, the rabbinic court, was re-established in the land of Israel in 2005 after 1600 years of non-existence.
"A unique ceremony - probably only the second of its kind in the past 1,600 years - is taking place in Tiberias today: The launching of a Sanhedrin, the highest Jewish-legal tribunal in the Land of Israel."
In order to abide the Biblically prescribed reckoning of the sighting of the new moon, it was necessary for the Sandherin to be reassembled.
It is to the Sandhedrin (photo below) that the two witnesses are to report their sightings of the new moon on Yom Teruah.
How awesome is the fact that God had the Sanhedrin reconvened in the land of Israel after 1600 years, in order to properly proclaim the sighting of the new moon.
This was necessary in order to Biblically announce the beginning of the feast of Yom Teruah/Rosh Hashanah.

It can therefore be seen factually, that it is now time to realign our focus from the things of the world to the things of God!
May we all repent, forgive and pray that we may be accounted worthy to escape the wrath to come and to stand before the Son of Man.
MARANATHA!!
