In this paper we will consider the remainder of this current Jubilee and the structure of the Jubilee.
The Jubilee also mirrors the Omer Count to Pentecost from the Wave-Sheaf Offering. It is the 50-year structure of the seven perfect Sabbaths we see in the Omer Count. It reflects the Holy Spirit developed in mankind over the human lifespan from twenty years of age to the seventy years allocated to mankind.
The year 2006 (or 29/120) commenced a very exciting prospect or process related to the Sanctification of the Temple as the Sanctification of the Elect, and also the Sanctification of the Nations, as part of the final sequence of the Plan of God.
When we go through the process of sanctification we start on the 1st of Abib with the sanctification of the Temple. On the 7th of Abib we have the sanctification of the ‘simple and erroneous’. We fast for that period in accordance with the texts in Joel and Ezekiel 45:20. That process of Sanctifying a Fast is the precursor to the calling of the Solemn Assembly of the congregation from 14 Abib through to the Last Holy Day of 21 Abib.
The seven days from 7 Abib to beginning of 14 Abib bring us to the Lord’s Supper, which is the sanctification of the individual and the Church in and through Jesus Christ, followed by the 1st Holy Day; and the 21st day is the last Holy Day of Unleavened Bread.
That sequence is in increments of three sets of seven days totalling 21 days. What we do each year, and have done each year for a long time, is very much ingrained into the Church’s thinking. For the last 100 years we have not fully understood this process. We have only understood the build-up to the Passover and not the Sanctification. This understanding was lost to the Church for nearly two hundred years, or perhaps even as much as five hundred years.
The Jubilee cycle from the last Jubilee in 1977/8 incorporates the Sabbath Years (which require the Reading of the Law) 1984, 1991, 1998, 2005, 2012, 2019 and 2026. 2027 is a Jubilee year. This current Jubilee is the 120th Jubilee since the closure of Eden and the cursing of the Earth in 3974/3 BCE.
1984 was the first Sabbath year of this Jubilee cycle, and in that next Sabbath cycle we commenced another cycle of the end days from 1987. This was the first year of the period referred to as “this generation”, which is a period of 40 years to 2027. 1997 is 30 years prior to 2027 and is another cycle of thirty years that is referred to as the period of the Mourning for Moses. The previous thirty year cycle was the Recovery of Jerusalem in 1967 at the Six Day War. This was the Mourning for Aaron in that the priesthood was not restored and will now continue on to the return of the Messiah and the Jubilee.
This 40-year period is the generation that Christ speaks of that shall not pass away until all these things are accomplished. This was when the Temple was ordered to be measured (see Measuring of the Temple (No. 137)). In 1987, Joseph W. Tkach, of the Worldwide Church of God, stated that the Temple was being measured. The statement was correct; that was exactly where we were at that time.
This period from 1987 began the measuring of the Temple. The process went through the Sabbath year of 1991 to the beginning of the next cycle of the Last Days in 1997, which was the period of the “thirty days of the mourning” for Moses on a year-for-a-day principle or, in other words, the period 1997 to 2027. This was the end of the Time of the Gentiles. Thus the measuring of the Temple was brought in to coincide with the end of the age and the reduction of the nations.
In the third year of that cycle, 1994, CCG was formed. All new beginnings relating to operations commence in the third year of the cycle. The Church itself was started by Christ from the jubilee of 27 CE and the Holy Spirit was given to the Church after the sacrifice of Christ on 5 April 30 CE with the entry of the Holy Spirit to the Church in Jerusalem at Pentecost 30 CE.
We went from 1994 to the end of Adar 2006, which was a twelve-year period. The twelfth year is the year of government, order and structure. The thirteenth year is classically a year devoted to the government of the Congregation of God. As Levi is in effect the administration as the thirteenth tribe, so too is this number associated with rebellion and seizure of power.
In the sanctification process all problems are usually cleared out by 7 Abib through the Sanctification process.
The 1st of Abib was not just the first day of the sanctification of the year 2006 of the 29th year of the 120th Jubilee. It began the sanctification of the Temple of God for the Last Days. It began the twenty-one days on a year-for-a-day principle. The twenty-one days go to 2012, 2019, and 2026 which is the Sabbath year before the Jubilee. The Jubilee is blown at Atonement of that year and goes from Atonement to Atonement.
The year 2015 is the 19th year
of the 30 year period of the Mourning for Moses which
is a year of Judgment as the 19th year and the Twenty-ninth Year of
the Last Generation beginning a year of Divine Judgment. Thus
we would expect God to act to bring this year to a significant point in the
activities of the Last Days and in dealing with this world. Thus from 2015 to 2019 Sabbath year we would expect the world
events to increase the wars of the end to prepare for the Witnesses and to
prepare for the Messiah and the world to be brought to captivity then from the
Advent.
Over that period from the advent of Christ, the Messiah will take over the World and “sanctify the nations” as part of the millennial system, and the entire system will be brought to repentance and to baptism sequentially and in order.
This process of development requires two
things to happen: the conversion of Judah, and the conversion of Islam through
two tribes. Then the tribes are twelve and twelve and that constitutes twenty-four,
which is the priesthood of the government of God. This sequence has to happen, and that is why the demons have spent so much
time trying to destroy the Church that recognises and deals with that issue so
that this could not happen. Only with the doctrines correctly restored are we able
to undertake a dialogue with both Judah and Islam.
Doctrines of the Churches of God in the Twentieth
Century
Of the Churches of God that were capable of being effective in the twentieth century, the Church of God (Seventh-Day) was not effective in its theology, and later destroyed its doctrines in Binitarianism.
In his restoration of that era, or “Sardis” system, Herbert Armstrong’s doctrines were hopelessly inadequate. The theology was ditheist, and the Church cannot talk to Islam when it has two gods. In the studies of the Koran, looking at Surahs 30, 31, 32 and 33, we see the emphasis on the One True God and the resurrection of the dead. The Church of God system of the twentieth century simply did not have the capacity to speak on any balanced basis with one quarter of the planet. God simply could not use them. That is why they were not allowed to do the job.
They were ditheist. They became ditheist to try to recruit money in the United States from the Protestant Trinitarian system. They needed ditheism to do that, or so they thought. So they prostituted the doctrines of the Church to reach Protestant American money. The irony of the situation is that the Saudi Arabian Royal family reportedly now owns 1/7th of the United States. The Chinese also own massive amounts.
What is happening is that these people will be reached by the correct biblical doctrines. That comprehensive message must be related to the Koran over the final years of the Jubilee.
Sanctification
The Sanctification of the Simple and the Erroneous at the Seventh day or 2012 – the Seventh year or Sabbath year, on a year-for-a-day basis – is a very important part of the sequence.
It then begins the Second sequence of seven years to the 14th year of the final 21 years in 2019. This then begins the last sequence of the Subjugation of the Nations. Thus between 2020 as the First Year of the final Sabbatical cycle and the treble harvest year of 2025 we would expect to see the nations face the warnings and Wars of the Last Days and the Vials of the Wrath of God (No. 141B).
We expect to see the two Witnesses from 2024-2026 in the Last Sabbath
cycle of 2020-2026.
The intervention of God should occur over the period from 2024 in order to prepare the world for the New Millennium from
2028.
The two Witnesses will then do their job
and deal with the planet. We know that in 1263.5 days from the time they set
foot on the mountain of Zion that Christ will be here. No man knows the day or
the hour, but we know when the Witnesses are in place that there are 1263½ days
before the return of Christ. It was on the 14th day of Abib that he
set up the ordinance of the Lord’s Supper and was then killed for our
salvation. He was in the tomb over the 15th, 16th
and 17th days. At the end of this period he
rose again and on the Sunday the 18th day of Abib he was accepted as
the Wave Sheaf and liberated all mankind.
Thus 2023 is the equivalent of the Wave Sheaf and by Atonement 2026 all
mankind has to be subjugated and in their locations
and planting for the barley and wheat harvests.
Thus we assume that the Vials of the Wrath of God are expended and all false religion of the Sun and Mystery Cults are stamped out by Atonement 2027 (see below).
In terms of Christ’s coming in sequence and in accordance with the prophecies, we must assume that God will follow His own Calendar as He has done for millennia. He follows His own system of salvation.
We have faithfully followed and kept the understanding of all of these things that represent the Plan of Salvation. We have kept these Feasts and Holy Days as part of God’s Calendar, and have continually done so over the past 6,000 years. The Plan of Salvation has unfolded according to His Calendar. We do not see Him throwing it away in the last thirty years. We see this unfolding to the Jubilee in 2027. We expect that God will send the Witnesses and then Christ will deal with the whole world from 2026 to 2027, and all of us will be in our inheritance from end Tabernacles 2027 for the Abib 2028 at the start of the Millennium. This commences the Golden Jubilee and the Millennium (No. 300).
Remember when Joshua spoke to Christ they entered Israel at Gilgal and circumcised all of Israel before the Passover. This is the period of circumcision that we saw at Gilgal prior to the marches around Jericho.
The Feast of Unleavened Bread is the reduction of the nations. See the sequence to the seven days round Jericho in the paper The Fall of Jericho (No. 142). On the Seventh day the whole of the system fell down at the end of the Feast of Unleavened Bread. That last Holy Day of Unleavened Bread is 2026, which is the Sabbath year at the end of the 120th Jubilee.
The Second Witness
The “second witness” to this sequence is found in the Seventh month.
There are 21 days involved also in that sequence. This of itself repeats the coming of the Messiah as both the Priest Messiah of the First Advent and the King Messiah of the Second Advent. These aspects are covered in the papers Atonement (No. 138) and Azazel and Atonement (No. 214).
The Day of Trumpets heralds the commencement of the period of the Return.
There are then ten days to the Day of Atonement, which is the period of the reconciliation of the planet to God. The next four days bring us up to the commencement of the Feast of Tabernacles.
This sequence follows the same fourteen-day period but with different significance.
When those Two Witnesses are killed and lie dead in the streets people shall rejoice and not suffer them to be buried, because the people will know that the test of the Witnesses’ prophethood is their resurrection and restoration to Christ.
They will teach against the mainstream Christian religious structure, against modern Islam, and against the New World system. They will rebuke this planet and deal with it. When they are finally given to be overcome, as it is given to all men once to die, they will lie for three and a half days and then they will rise from the dead in the sight of all men. The time-frame indicates that there is one resurrection for all, and thus we might assume that so too will the dead in Christ rise at this time. Then those of us who are left alive will join them and we will be translated into elohim. This is the First Resurrection. We will go to Jerusalem and ever be with the Lord.
When that point is reached it will be too late, and much of the world will weep because there is nothing that they can do to reclaim their position or turn back the clock. They will have rejected their opportunity and will not get another opportunity for another 1007 years. Then they will spend time in the toughest training camp they have ever seen.
The period from say 2018 to 2027 will then see the restoration of Israel and the sequential sanctification and conversion of the rest of the world. The Feast of Tabernacles represents the Millennium and the fact of the safety of the Elect, who will be kept from the day of destruction as promised by God through Revelation. The Feast of Unleavened Bread represents the removal of sin from the world and the reduction of the Gentile nations hostile to God. This is coincidental to the Feast of the Elect at Tabernacles, which in the Last Days is the same period of time.
The Fourteenth day of Abib represents the last possible time for the conversion of Judah and its circumcision at Gilgal, and for the salvation of the Gentiles, as represented by Rahab and the ribbon on the lintels in the wall of Jericho. Whether we are looking at a physical salvation or a spiritual one is difficult to say. Looking at the delay of the actual First Resurrection to allow others to convert in the Last Days seems less likely indeed.
The time and circumstances are not there. It appears that we are looking at the physical conversion of Judah so that they can be established in the Holy Land by 2027. From 2026/7 the nations will be brought down to the Holy Land under the beast system and then destroyed in the vials of the wrath of God (see also the papers The Seven Seals (No. 140) and The Seven Trumpets (No. 141)).
The Holy Days and Feast of the Seventh month mirror the 21 days of the First month, but they also carry the symbolism over into the millennial system and thus have dual application. The First day of the Seventh month can also signify the coming of the Messiah, heralded by the trumpet of the Archangel. The reconciliation of the planet takes place at “day ten”, which is ten year-days after a theoretical arrival of the Witnesses. The Jubilee is blown at Atonement 2026 and goes to Atonement 2027 where the final Restoration of the Jubilee is blown.
The millennial system then follows on from 2028, and the Last Great Day follows the Millennium as the Second Resurrection of the Dead from 3028. Now that is the usual annual depiction of the sequence of the Kingdom of God within the Churches of God. However, as we see, the sequence also confirms the 21 days of the First month and has the dual application of the last 21 years of the sequence of the Last Days.
The comparison between the sequence of the first month and the seventh
month when laid out in sequence of the time of the end seems to show a
correlation between the Seventh of Abib and the Tenth day of Abib which is the
Sanctification period ending in the Sanctification of the Simple and Erroneous on
7 Abib and the setting aside of the lamb on the Tenth day.
In the Seventh month the Seventh day has no direct festival or activities but the Tenth has the Atonement sequence. This
shows Christ as both Priest Messiah and as King Messiah prior to the Feast of
Tabernacles dealing with the millennial reign and system.
The sequence of the Seventh month indicates that it may well commence
from 2019-2021 with the wars of the Fifth Trumpet as we see underway from those
years and go on from there to 2022-2025 to the Messiah arriving then by 2026/2027.
The subjugation of the Nations commences with the Witnesses and their
fire and drought and plagues and then Messiah will bring the nations to
submission. They need suffer none of it. They simply have to
repent and obey. However, they do not do that.
Whatever is the case the sequence shows the powerful intervention of God
through His servants the prophets and Messiah.
Our job is to make sure we do not lose anyone. The process of tying the Koran back to the Bible is a very important task and is part of the witness to Islam, being one quarter of the planet. We cannot over-emphasise the importance of that task.
God does nothing except He warns those people through His servants the prophets, which is the Church of God.
