COSMIC EVENTS
of 2014/2015 & JUBILEE of 2015/2016
The
rabbis teach that blood moons, "lunar eclipses" are a sign used
by God for the judgment of the nation of Israel. They also teach that
solar eclipses are a sign for the judgments of the nations of the world.
Mark Biltz has written and spoken about the Sabbatical year of 2015-2016, and
sky events leading up to and on the Feast of Tabernacles (Sukkot) of 2015.
According to the Jewish reckoning, the fall of 2008 to the fall of 2009
was a Sabbatical year. A
new Sabbatical cycle began on September 29, 2008. The year of 2015 will also be a
Sabbatical year--leading to the Year of Jubilee that could begin in September,
2015 (Jewish year 5776) and end in October 2016 (beginning of Jewish year
5777). It has
been discovered that in the years 2014 and 2015 there will be two solar
eclipses and four lunar eclipses, all of them occurring on Biblical Holy
Days!
The
discovery of the lunar and solar eclipses in 2012/2015 in relationship to
God's appointed Festivals in Leviticus 23, comes from Mark Biltz, pastor of El Shaddai Ministries, in
Bonner Lake, Washington. Click on this

"times and seasons," and why we should be watching and
anticipating the fulfillment of God's appointed times.
The
four Blood Moon Lunar eclipses connected to God's Festivals during 2014-2015, occur
as follows:
Passover (1st Feast)
April 15, 2014
Feast of Tabernacles (7th Feast)
October 8, 2014
Passover (1st
Feast) April 4, 2015
Feast of Tabernacles (7th Feast)
September 28, 2015
The
two Solar eclipses connected with God’s appointed times during 2014-2015,
occur as follows:
Adar
29/Nisan 1 (Beginning 1st Month)
March 20, 2015
Feast of Trumpets (Beginning of 7th Month)
September 13, 2015
It
is extremely rare for this pattern of solar and lunar eclipses to fall on both Passover
(1 Nisan) and Rosh HaShanah (1 Tishri) seven months later--particularly
for two years in a row; then, a lunar eclipse a few days after Rosh
HaShanah on Sukkot (Feast of Tabernacles) in the same year (2015). Biltz
was intrigued with the statement in the Scriptures that connect the second
coming of the Messiah with “signs in the heavens,” particularly the
signs that “the sun will be turned into darkness and the moon into
blood” before the return of Christ.
Writing
about Mark Biltz's amazing discovery in the May 2008 issue of Prophecy in the
News, J. R. Church declares, “This is most unusual. It is a
rare occurrence for four lunar cycles on successive Passover and the Feast
of Tabernacles (Sukkot) observances. It will not happen again for
hundreds of years.”
He continues in a letter accompanying the magazine issue, “Four lunar
eclipses occurring on the Feast of Tabernacles and Passover in two
successive years are phenomenal. But add to them two solar eclipses
on the two days that open the Jewish year – Adar 29/Nisan1, just two
weeks before Passover, and on Tishri 1 (Rosh Hashannah) – is uncanny.
On each of these six Jewish Holy Days, the sun will be darkened and the
moon will not give her light. Will this happen again in the 21st
century? No. However, this phenomenon did occur in the 20th
century during significant times in Israel's history; in 1949/1950, the
year following Israel’s statehood, and 1967/1968, the year Jerusalem was
liberated in the Six-Day War! Before that, you have to go back to
1493 for four successive lunar eclipses on Passover and the Feast of
Tabernacles” (May 2008 letter).
A
few years ago the author of this site found that 49 years
X 360 days (360 days represents one prophetic year in Bible prophecy) =
17,640 days. If you add 17,640 days to the recapture of Jerusalem on June
7, 1967 during the Six
Day War (which brought Jerusalem and the Temple Mount back into the circle
of
Israel), the count is completed exactly on Yom Kippur, September 23, 2015.
The Jubilees calendar may have began its 49 year
count in 1416 BC
when the children of Israel entered Canaan, forty (40) years after the
Exodus in 1456 BC. The first Jubilee, 49 years
later, would have occurred at 1367-66 BC. Every 49 years another Jubilee
would occur. If so, the final
(70th) Jubilee could begin on Yom Kippur--the Day of Atonement in 2015,
and last until October, 2016. At
the age of 12, Jesus was found "in the temple courts, sitting among
the teachers, listening to them and asking them questions. Everyone who
heard Him was amazed at His understanding and His answers," (Luke
2:41-29). It's possible this
occurred during the 29th Jubilee in 6 AD, with His ministry starting 21
years later during 27 AD during a Sabbatical year (Shmita). There
would be 40 complete Jubilee cycles following Christ’s death up to and
included the 70th Jubilee that starts in the autumn of 2015 and ends in
the autumn of 2016. Of course, there are
many 40’s in the Bible and 40 is a significant number in God's plan of
redemption.
The Jubilee Cycle
Seven sabbaticals brought God’s people to
the Jubilee, which is another one-year Sabbath. The Jubilee cycle is a
49-year repeating pattern. It consists of seven sabbatical cycles,
followed by a 50th year called the Jubilee. During the Jubilee year the
land rests, debts are cancelled, and land is returned to its original
owner.
“You shall count seven
Sabbaths of years for yourself, seven times seven years; and the time of
the seven Sabbaths of years shall be to you forty-nine years. Then you
shall cause the trumpet of the Jubilee to sound on the tenth day of the
seventh month; on the Day of Atonement you shall make the trumpet to sound
throughout all your land. And you shall consecrate the fiftieth year, and
proclaim liberty throughout all the land to all its inhabitants. It shall
be a Jubilee for you.” Leviticus 25:8-11.
Every seventh sabbatical, on the Day of
Atonement, the trumpet announced the start of the Jubilee--the 50th year. The 50th
year Jubilee is also the 1st year of the next Jubilee cycle. Is
the Jubilee cycle 49 or 50 years?
It may have been during the 69th Jubilee, that ran from
the fall of 1966 to the fall of 1967, when Israel defeated their surrounding enemies and recaptured East
Jerusalem along with the Western Wall and Temple Mount. And, it may
have been during the 68th Jubilee, from the fall of 1917 to the fall of 1918, when the
final draft of the Balfour Declaration was written on October 31, 1917,
and when the
statement was published by British foreign secretary Arthur Balfour on November
2, 1917; thereby, establishing British support for the setting up of a national home for the Jews in
Palestine.
The
bottom line? We don't not know if the counting times/periods above are
correct. Only God knows. However, we can be sure our Father is trying to persuade
His children to "watch". Skeptics and scoffers will denounce
we are in the last days and can understand the secrets of Heaven, but the prophet Daniel informs us,
“Many shall be purified, made white, and refined. But the wicked
shall do wickedly; and none of the wicked will understand, but the wise
will understand” (Dan.12:10). For a
