Behold

 

… a biblical year has 360 days …

 

… about the year 538 BC the angel Gabriel came to the Hebrew prophet Daniel in Jerusalem with a message sent to Daniel by YAHWEH the LORD God of the heavens and the earth … part of that message is …

 

Daniel chapter 9, vs 24 – 26                               Gabriel speaking

9:24 שבעים שבעים נחתך על-עמך ועל-עיר קדשך לכלא הפשע ולחתם חטאות ולכפר עון ולהביא צדק עלמים ולחתם חזון ונביא ולמשח קדש קדשים

9:25 ותדע ותשכל מן-מצא דבר להשיב ולבנות ירושלם עד-משיח נגיד שבעים שבעה ושבעים ששים ושנים תשוב ונבנתה רחוב וחרוץ ובצוק העתים

9:26 ואחרי השבעים ששים ושנים יכרת משיח ואין לו והעיר והקדש ישחית עם נגיד הבא וקצו בשטף ועד קץ מלחמה נחרצת שממות

seventy weeks have been allocated for your people and your holy city … to finish the transgression … to make an end of sin … to make atonement for iniquity … to bring in everlasting righteousness … to complete vision and prophecy … and … to anoint the most holy place … be aware and know that from the date that the decree to restore and rebuild Jerusalem is issued … until … the Messiah the Prince is made known to His people … there will be seven weeks and sixty-two weeks … during that time period … Jerusalem will be built again with a sanctuary and a moat though during times of distress … following the sixty-two weeks the Messiah will be cut off … then there is a gap until the last week  … and … following that gap the prince who will destroy the city and the sanctuary will come to the city and sanctuary with his people … then … the end will come like a flood with war and desolations that have been determined …

 

… so … while today we tend to measure time periods in terms of … day week month year decade century and millennium … often in our analyses of time frames in the Holy Bible we find the measure to be … day week year Shamita Jubilee and millennium … in our analysis the unit of time measure being used by the angel Gabriel is the seven year Shamita cycle …

 

... at the beginning of verse 24 we note … שבעים שבעים   שבעים … is Hebrew noun … SHIBIYM … Strong# Hebrew 7657 … the best literal meaning is … seventy … some folks interpret the first שבעים    as the Hebrew noun … SHIBAH …  שבע  … Strong# Hebrew 7651 … the best literal meaning is … seven times … though … in our analysis we feel that the intent of the communication is the Hebrew verb … SHABA … with a YOD and MEM suffix … the Hebrew verb … SHABA …  שבע  … is Strong# Hebrew 7650 … the best literal meaning is … to be complete … considering this communication is coming from YAHWEH through the angel Gabriel to Daniel … the suffix YOD makes the action possessive to YAHWEH … e.g. My or Mine … and … the suffix MEM indicates that the action is … out of … or … from … YAHWEH … the Holy Bible delivers from God to humankind His project plan to restore creation to its state at the end of the sixth day of creation … that state as defined in the Holy Bible is - good … and this project plan defines two actions to complete in order to achieve this goal … the first action is the redemption of all humankind to relationship with God which was enabled at the end of the 69 weeks revealed by Gabriel in these verses of scripture … this first action is the … life … death on the cross … and … resurrection from the dead … of Jesus Christ our LORD and Savior … the second action is enabled again by Jesus Christ at the end of the 70th  week … this is the final solution for evil sin and wickedness … following which the children of God live forever with God in the new heaven and earth … the restoration of the original state of God’s creation … the term week in this passage of scripture actually means a seven year cycle … essentially … seventy Shamita cycles …

 

 the time period for the sixty-nine Shamita cycles … as stated by Gabriel … does not begin with the first Babylonian decree to rebuild the temple of the LORD in Jerusalem which is chronicled in the book of Ezra the priest … but rather that time period is defined to begin with Gabriel’s statement … from the date that the decree to restore and rebuild Jerusalem is issued … our focus in this bible study does not include the 70th Shamita cycle of Gabriel’s prophecy to Daniel nor does it include a consideration of the 2,000 year gap between the end of the sixty-nine Shamita cycles and the 70th Shamita cycle … the last Shamita cycle before the completion of the second action of YAHWEH’s project plan to retore creation … that gap of 2,000 years is a period of forty Jubilee cycles … each Jubilee cycle being seven Shamita cycles and one additional year … the year of Jubilee … a total of 2,000 years … by Babylonian records … in the year … 445 BC … this date of 445 BC is a date adjusted for our current calendar … King ARTAXARES granted the Hebrew people permission to rebuild the city of Jerusalem and complete the temple construction that had begun under King Cyrus … the Hebrew people also built a moat around Jerusalem that is still there today …

 

Nehemiah chapter 2, vs 1 – 9

2:1 ויהי בחדש ניסן שנת עשרים לארתחשסתא המלך יין לפניו ואשא את-היין ואתנה למלך ולא-הייתי רע לפניו

2:2 ויאמר לי המלך מדוע פניך רעים ואתה אינך חולה אין זה כי-אם רע לב ואירא הרבה מאד

2:3 ואמר למלך המלך לעולם יחיה מדוע לא-ירעו פני אשר העיר בית-קברות אבתי חרבה ושעריה אכלו באש

2:4 ויאמר לי המלך על-מה-זה אתה מבקש ואתפלל אל-אלהי השמים

2:5 ואמר למלך אם-על-המלך טוב ואם-ייטב עבדך לפניך אשר תשלחני אל-יהודה אל-עיר קברות אבתי ואבננה

2:6 ויאמר לי המלך והשגל יושבת אצלו עד-מתי יהיה מהלכך ומתי תשוב וייטב לפני-המלך וישלחני ואתנה לו זמן

2:7 ואומר למלך אם-על-המלך טוב אגרות יתנו-לי על-פחוות עבר הנהר אשר יעבירוני עד אשר-אבוא אל-יהודה

2:8 ואגרת אל-אסף שמר הפרדס אשר למלך אשר יתן-לי עצים לקרות את-שערי הבירה אשר-לבית ולחומת העיר ולבית אשר-אבוא אליו ויתן-לי המלך כיד-אלהי הטובה עלי

2:9 ואבוא אל-פחוות עבר הנהר ואתנה להם את אגרות המלך וישלח עמי המלך שרי חיל ופרשים

                                Note the ALEF-TAV in verse 9

 in the month Nisan … during the twentieth year of King Artaxerxes … he had asked for wine that I set before him … I took up the wine and gave it to the king …  I had never been sad in his presence previously … so … the king said to me … why is your face sad as though you are sick though you are not sick … this is nothing other but sadness of heart … with some amount of  trepidation  I said to the king … let the king live forever … my face is sad because the city in which lies my father’s tombs lies desolate and the gates have been consumed by fire … then … the king said to me … what is your request … so … I prayed to the God of heaven and I said to the king … if I have found favor with you and it pleases the king …  send me to Judah to the city of my fathers’ tombs so that I may rebuild it … then the king with the queen sitting beside him said to me … how long will your journey be and when will you return … and so … it pleased the king to send me and I gave him a definite time ... additionally I said to the king … if it please the king … let letters be given to me for the governors to the west of the Euphrates River in order that they will allow me to pass through until I come to Judah … and … also a letter to Asaph the keeper of the king’s forest so that he may give me timber … to make beams for the gates of the fortress of Jerusalem in which is the temple … for the walls of the city … and … for the house to which I will live in … then … the king granted all this me because the good hand of my God was with me … and so … I came to the governors beyond the River and gave them the king’s  את   letters … and the king had sent with me officers of the army and horsemen …

 

… when adjusted for our current western calendar …  the decree by King Artaxerxes for the rebuilding of the city of Jerusalem … by ancient Babylonian records ... was 445 BC ( BCE ) … again on our calendar …

 

7 Shamita cycles + 62 Shamita cycles   

=  

69 Shamita cycles

 

 

 

69 Shamita cycle   x   7 years each  

=  

483 years

 

 

 

 

483 years   x   360 days per year on Biblical Calendar  

= 

173,880 days on Biblical Calendar

 

 

173,880 days on Biblical Calendar   

( devided by )  

365. 25 days on our Current Calendar Year

=

476.06 years for our Current Calendar

 

 

445 BC on our Current Calendar   +   476.06 years

=

31 AD on our Current Calendar

 

 

31 AD   +   1 year

=

32 AD on our Current Calendar

 

 

… the added year is not a fudge factor … rather … there is no 0 (zero) AD or BC … however there is a time period of one year between 1 BC and 1 AD on our Current Calendar …this prophecy delivered by the angel Gabriel to Daniel around 538 BC defines the 69 Shamita cycles from the order by king Artaxerxes to rebuild the city walls and gates of Jerusalem to the entry of Jesus Christ into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday …
