25:2 דבר אל-בני ישראל ואמרת
אלהם כי תבאו אל-הארץ אשר אני נתן לכם ושבתה הארץ שבת ליהוה
25:3 שש שנים תזרע שדך ושש שנים
תזמר כרמך ואספת את-תבואתה
25:4 ובשנה השביעת שבת שבתון
יהיה לארץ שבת ליהוה שדך לא תזרע וכרמך לא תזמר

תהיה כל-תבואתה לאכל
…
note the ALEF-TAV occasion at the beginning of verse 5 …
… the LORD spoke to Moses at
Mount Sinai saying … tell the people of Israel … say to them … when you come
into the land which I AM giving to you … give the land a sabbath to the LORD
… for six years you will sow your fields and for six years will prune your
vineyards to gather in their crops … but … during the seventh year the
land is to have a sabbath rest … a sabbath to the LORD … you will eat what grows of its own accord … you
will not sow your field … you will not prune your vineyard … את … you will eat what grows of its own
accord as it grows … you will not reap … you will not gather the grapes of
untrimmed vines … for … the land will have a sabbatical year ... what
grows of its own accord is the product of the sabbath year for you to eat … you
yourself … your male and female slaves … your hired workers … your foreign
residents …all those others who also live as aliens among you … your cattle … and
… all the other animals that are in your land … all will have the sabbath year
crops to eat …

ואספת את-תבואתה

ואכלו אביני עמך ויתרם תאכל חית השדה כן-תעשה לכרמך לזיתך
… you will sow your land for six
years and gather in its yield … but … in the seventh year you will let the land
rest and lie fallow … so that the needy of your people may eat and whatever
they leave the beasts of the field will eat … you are to do the same with your

Shamita C – as the year for
the release of debt
Deuteronomy chapter 15, 1 – 6 God speaking
15:1 מקץ שבע-שנים תעשה שמטה
15:2 וזה דבר השמטה שמוט כל-בעל
משה ידו אשר ישה ברעהו לא-יגש את-רעהו ואת-אחיו כי-קרא שמטה ליהוה
15:3 את-הנכרי תגש ואשר יהיה לך
את-אחיך תשמט ידך
15:4 אפס כי לא יהיה-בך אביון
כי-ברך יברכך יהוה בארץ אשר יהוה אלהיך נתן-לך נחלה לרשתה

years … you will grant a remission of debt … creditor will release what has
loaned to a neighbor … whatever remains of a debt will not be not collected for
any loan to a member of Israel … the year of the LORD’s remission is proclaimed
… though … from a foreigner you may exact the remaining debt … but … your
hand will release whatever remains of your brother’s debt … there will be no
poor among you … the LORD will bless you in the land which the LORD your
God is giving you as an inheritance to possess … listen to the teaching of the
LORD our God … observe carefully all this teaching which I am sharing with you today … the LORD
our God will bless you as just as He has promised you … and … you will lend to many nations and you
will not need to borrow … you will rule over many nations but they will not
rule over you …
Shamita D – the Shamita year and
the people of the LORD
Deuteronomy chapter 15, vs 7 –
18 God speaking
15:7 כי-יהיה בך אביון מאחד אחיך
באחד שעריך בארצך אשר-יהוה אלהיך נתן לך לא תאמץ את-לבבך ולא תקפץ את-ידך מאחיך
האביון
15:8 כי-פתח תפתח את-ידך לו
והעבט תעביטנו די מחסרו אשר יחסר לו
15:9 השמר לך פן-יהיה דבר
עם-לבבך בליעל לאמר קרבה שנת-השבע שנת השמטה ורעה עינך באחיך האביון ולא תתן לו
וקרא עליך אל-יהוה והיה בך חטא
15:10 נתון תתן לו ולא-ירע לבבך
בתתך לו כי בגלל הדבר הזה יברכך יהוה אלהיך בכל-מעשך ובכל משלח ידך
15:11 כי לא-יחדל אביון מקרב הארץ
על-כן אנכי מצוך לאמר פתח תפתח את-ידך לאחיך לעניך ולאבינך בארצך
15:12 כי-ימכר לך אחיך העברי או
העבריה ועבדך שש שנים ובשנה השביעת תשלחנו חפשי מעמך
15:13 וכי-תשלחנו חפשי מעמך לא
תשלחנו ריקם
15:14 העניק תעניק לו מצאנך
ומגרנך ומיקבך אשר ברכך יהוה אלהיך תתן-לו
15:15 וזכרת כי עבד היית בארץ
מצרים ויפדך יהוה אלהיך על-כן אנכי מצוך את-הדבר הזה היום
15:16 והיה כי-יאמר אליך לא אצא
מעמך כי אהבך ואת-ביתך כי-טוב לו עמך
15:17 ולקחת את-המרצע ונתתה באזנו
ובדלת והיה לך עבד עולם ואף לאמתך תעשה-כן
15:18 לא-יקשה בעינך בשלחך אתו
חפשי מעמך כי משנה שכר שכיר עבדך שש שנים וברכך יהוה אלהיך בכל אשר תעשה
… if there is are poor Hebrews
among you … one of My people … your people … in any of your towns in your
land which the LORD our God is giving us … you will not harden your
hearts nor close your hand from your poor brethren … you will freely open your
hand to then and generously lend sufficiently for their needs for whatever they
may lack … do not have any base thoughts in your heart that the seventh year is
near and you become hostile to the poor and give them nothing … for … they may cry
out to the LORD against you regarding your sin … so … give generously
and then your heart will not be grieved … because … when you give to the poor the LORD our
God will bless you in all your work and in all your undertakings … for … the
poor will never cease to be present in the land which the LORD our God has
given to us … therefore … freely open your hand to the needy and poor Hebrews
of our land … and … if a Hebrew man or woman, is sold to you … they may serve
you for six years … then … in the seventh year … you will set them free …
and … when you set them free … do not
send them away empty handed … rather … furnish them liberally from your flock
and from your threshing floor and from your wine vats … give to them as the
LORD our God has blessed you … and … remember that we were all once slaves in
Egypt until the LORD our God remembered us and saved us … and … should a Hebrew
slave say to you and your family they they desire not to leave you because they
love you and your household and fare well with you … then you will take an awl
and pierce it through their ear into the door and they will be your servant
forever … this applies for both manservants and maidservants ... so … when you
set a Hebrew slave free who has given you six years of service with double the
service of a hired person … do not let this be hard for you … for … the LORD
our God will then bless you in everything that you do …
… so … to summarize the Shamita
cycle … the seven year cycle which ends with the Shamita year results in
recurring cycles of seven years each … again it is the seventh year that is
termed the Shamita Year … the literal meaning of Shamita is … to release …
during the Shamita Year … ( 1 ) the loan balance between each Hebrew ( Jewish )
debtor and their Hebrew ( Jewish ) creditor is … released … that is … the
outstanding balance is forgiven … essentially … a scheduled loan amnesty every
seven years … ( 2 ) all cultivated land is allowed to rest for one year …
essentially a Sabbath rest for the land … Hebrew ( Jewish ) folks serving other
Hebrew ( Jewish ) folks as indentured servants are redeemed from that bondage …
( 3 ) the people of God during the Shemitah Year are released from their daily
cares and concerns to cultivate food so they can focus on the LORD ( YHVH )
their God … Shamita seven year cycles group into fifty year cycles termed Jubilee
year cycles which represent … seven sequential Shamita cycles plus one
additional year which is termed the Year of Jubilee … so … seven sequential Shamita
cycles plus one additional year are a Jubilee cycle … a Jubilee cycle is 50
years … each Year of Jubilee follows the Shamita Year of the last Shamita cycle
for a group of seven Shamita cycles … note that there are a lot of 7s involved
… during the Year of Jubilee … ( 1 ) all cultivated land is allowed to rest for
a second year following the immediately preceding Shamita Year … ( 2 ) all
Hebrew slaves are released from their bondage … ( 3 ) all land in the county of
Israel that was sold is returned to the original Hebrew ( Jewish ) tribe and
family group to whom it was originally allocated by God through Joshua … ( 4 )
the people of God during the Year of Jubilee again for a second year are
released from their daily cares and concerns to focus on the LORD ( YHVH )
their God …
Jubilee A – Jesus Christ
declares the year of Jubilee
Luke chapter 4, vs 16 – 21 Jesus Christ speaking
4:16 וַיָּבֹא אֶל־נְצֶרֶת
אֲשֶׁר גֻּדַּל־שָׁם וַיֵּלֶךְ כְּמִשְׁפָּטוֹ בְּיוֹם הַשַּׁבָּת אֶל־בֵּית
הַכְּנֵסֶת וַיָּקָם לִקְרא בַסֵּפֶר
4:17 וַיֻּתַּן־לוֹ סֵפֶר
יְשַׁעֲיָה הַנָּבִיא וַיִּפְתַּח אֶת־הַסֵּפֶר וַיִּמְצָא אֶת־הַמָּקוֹם אֲשֶׁר
הָיָה־כָתוּב בּוֹ
4:18 רוּחַ אֲדנָי יֱהוֹה עָלָי
יַעַן מָשַׁח אתִי לְבַשֵׂר עֲנָוִים
4:19 שְׁלָחַנִי לַחֲבשׁ
לְנִשְׁבְּרֵי־לֵב לִקְרׂא לִשְׁבוּיִם דְּרוֹר וּלְעִוְרִים פְּקַח־קוֹחַ
לְשַׁלַּח רְצוּצִים חָפְשִׁים לִקְרׂא שְׁנַת־רָצוֹן לַיְהוָֹה
4:20 וַיְהִי כַּאֲשֶׁר גָּלַל
אֶת־הַסֵּפֶר וַיְשִׁיבֵהוּ אֶל־הַחַזָּן וַיֵּשֶׁב וְעֵינֵי כָּל־אֲשֶׁר בְּבֵית
הַכְּנֵסֶת נְשֻׂאוֹת אֵלָיו
4:21 וַיָּחֶל וַיּאמֶר אֲלֵיהֶם
הַיּוֹם נִתְמַלֵּא הַכָּתוּב הַזֶּה בְּאָזְנֵיכֶם
… Jesus came to Nazareth where He
had been brought up … as was His custom He went to the Synagogue on the Sabbath
and stood up to read … the scroll of the prophet Isaiah was handed to Him …
Jesus opened the scroll to the place where it is written … the Spirit of the
LORD is upon Me because He anointed Me to preach the good news to the poor … He
has sent Me to proclaim release to the captives … and … the recovery of sight
to the blind … to set free those who are oppressed … and … to proclaim the favorable
year of the LORD … then Jesus closed the scroll … gave it back to the attendant
… and … sat down … everyone in the Synagogue was fixed on Him … then Jesus said
… today this Scripture is fulfilled in your hearing …
Jubilee B – the Messiah - the favorable year of the LORD …
Isaiah chapter 61, vs 1 – 3 God speaking
61:1 רוח אדני יהוה עלי יען משח יהוה אתי לבשר ענוים שלחני לחבש
לנשברי-לב לקרא לשבוים דרור ולאסורים פקח-קוח
61:2 לקרא שנת-רצון ליהוה ויום נקם לאלהינו לנחם כל-אבלים
61:3 לשום לאבלי ציון לתת להם פאר תחת אפר שמן ששון תחת אבל מעטה
תהלה תחת רוח כהה וקרא להם אילי הצדק מטע יהוה להתפאר
… the Spirit of the LORD God is
upon Me … the LORD has anointed Me … to bring good news to
the [b]afflicted … to bind up
the brokenhearted … to proclaim liberty to the captives and freedom for
the prisoners … to proclaim the favorable year of the LORD - the day
of vengeance of our God … to comfort all those who mourn - those who
mourn in Zion – to give and grant them a garland instead of
ashes – the oil of gladness instead of mourning – the mantle of praise instead
of a spirit of fainting … they will be called the oaks of righteousness … the
planting of the LORD … so that … the LORD will be glorified …
Note … the
day of vengeance of our God … is the wrath of God coming to enable the
final solution for evil sin and wickedness … see other bible studies by the
John Calvin Study Group … the Holy Bible defines a project plan with two goals
… the redemption of all humankind which was achied by Jesus Christ by His …
life … death on the cross … and … resurrection from the dead … the final
solution for evil sin and wickedness is also achieved by Jesus Christ in a
process prophetically proclaimed in the Holy Bible …
Jubilee C – how to live on and exchange the land belonging
to the LORD
Leviticus chapter 25, vs 8 – 17 God speaking
25:8 וספרת לך שבע שבתת שנים שבע שנים שבע פעמים והיו לך ימי שבע
שבתת השנים תשע וארבעים שנה
25:9 והעברת שופר תרועה בחדש השבעי בעשור לחדש ביום הכפרים
תעבירו שופר בכל-ארצכם
25:10 וקדשתם את שנת החמשים
שנה וקראתם דרור בארץ לכל-ישביה יובל הוא תהיה לכם ושבתם איש אל-אחזתו ואיש
אל-משפחתו תשבו
25:11 יובל הוא שנת החמשים שנה תהיה לכם לא תזרעו ולא תקצרו
את-ספיחיה ולא תבצרו את-נזריה
25:12 כי יובל הוא קדש תהיה לכם מן-השדה תאכלו את-תבואתה
25:13 בשנת היובל הזאת תשבו איש אל-אחזתו
25:14 וכי-תמכרו ממכר לעמיתך או קנה מיד עמיתך אל-תונו איש
את-אחיו
25:15 במספר שנים אחר היובל תקנה מאת עמיתך במספר שני-תבואת
ימכר-לך
25:16 לפי רב השנים תרבה מקנתו ולפי מעט השנים תמעיט מקנתו כי
מספר תבואת הוא מכר לך
25:17 ולא תונו איש את-עמיתו ויראת מאלהיך כי אני יהוה אלהיכם
Note
the ALAF-TAV in verse 10
… you are to count off seven
sabbaths of years for yourself … seven times seven years … so that you have the
time of the seven sabbaths of years … forty-nine years … then … sound the ram’s
horn abroad on the tenth day of the seventh month … on the Day of Atonement
… sound the ram’s horn all through your land … at this time … after each cycle
of seven sabbaths of years … you will consecrate את the fiftieth year and proclaim release throughout the land to all its inhabitants …
this is the Jubilee year for you … each of you will then return to their
family property and your family... each of you shall will have the fiftieth
year as a Jubilee year … on which … you will not sow … nor reap any aftergrowth
… nor will you gather grapes from the untrimmed vines … for this is the Jubilee
year … this year is holy to you … you will eat what crops grow by themselves
out of your family fields … in the year
of Jubilee … each of you will return to your family’s originally property
allocated by lot when the land was given to us … and … if during the previous
forty-nine years … you made a sale of your land to another Hebrew not of your
family or if you or another Hebrew buy’s from a Hebrew not part of their family
all or part of that Hebrew’s family land … in the year of Jubilee … you will
return the land to the original family … you will not wrong one another …
during the fourty-nine years prior to a Jubilee year … you will sell or
purchase land at a price corresponding to the number of years after the last Jubilee
year and the number of years until the next Jubilee year … you will purchase
and sell land according to the number of years of crops that will be harvested
in proportion to the number of years until the next Jubilee year … the selling
price will increase when there are many
years and when the number of years are few the selling price will diminish … all
in proportion to the number of years remaining until the next Jubilee year …
for … what is being sold is the number of crops until the next Jubilee year …
so … do not wrong one another … rather …
have reverence for the LORD our God who is the owner of this land …
Jubilee D – tribal inheritance
in the land belonging to the LORD
Numbers chapter 36, vs 4 God speaking
36:4 ואם-יהיה היבל לבני ישראל
ונוספה נחלתן על נחלת המטה אשר תהיינה להם ומנחלת מטה אבתינו יגרע נחלתן
… when the year of Jubilee for
the people of Israel arrives … the family allocations remain as the inheritance
of the tribe to which each family belongs … so … each tribe will retain the
original allocations by lot given to each family of that tribe from the time of
our fathers …
Jubilee E – return of the land
belonging to the LORD to the original family
Leviticus chapter 25, vs 23 –
28 God speaking
25:23 והארץ לא תמכר לצמתת כי-לי
הארץ כי-גרים ותושבים אתם עמדי
25:24 ובכל ארץ אחזתכם גאלה תתנו
לארץ
25:25 כי-ימוך אחיך ומכר מאחזתו
ובא גאלו הקרב אליו וגאל את ממכר אחיו
25:26 ואיש כי לא יהיה-לו גאל
והשיגה ידו ומצא כדי גאלתו
25:27 וחשב את-שני ממכרו והשיב
את-העדף לאיש אשר מכר-לו ושב לאחזתו
25:28 ואם לא-מצאה ידו די השיב לו
והיה ממכרו ביד הקנה אתו עד שנת היובל ויצא ביבל ושב לאחזתו
Note
the ALAF-TAV in verse 25
… the land cannot be sold
permanently … for the land is Mine … you are but aliens and sojourners with Me
…. thus … for every piece of your property that is sold and transferred to
another Hebrew you must provide for the redemption of that land … and so … when
fellow Hebrews become so poor that they are forced to sell part of their family
property … the nearest kinsman of their family is to come and redeem ( buy back
) את what the poor relatives have sold … however
… if there is no kinsman redeemer and the poor family who have sold their land
recover sufficient means for the redemption of the land … the buy back price
will be calculated by the number of years since the original sale of the
property and those Hebrews who purchased the property will refund the amount
equal to the number of years until the next Jubilee year at the time when the
property is returned to its original family … additionally … in those
situations when there is no kinsman redeemer and the poor family does not find
sufficient means to redeem their property that was sold … the property will
remain in the hands of the Hebrew purchaser until the year of Jubilee … and …
at the start of the Jubilee year the property that was sold will revert its
original family …
Jubilee F – the year of
Jubilee is the year of freedom
Leviticus chapter 25, vs 39 –
55 God speaking
25:39 וכי-ימוך אחיך עמך ונמכר-לך
לא-תעבד בו עבדת עבד
25:40 כשכיר כתושב יהיה עמך
עד-שנת היבל יעבד עמך
25:41 ויצא מעמך הוא ובניו עמו
ושב אל-משפחתו ואל-אחזת אבתיו ישוב
25:42 כי-עבדי הם אשר-הוצאתי אתם
מארץ מצרים לא ימכרו ממכרת עבד
25:43 לא-תרדה בו בפרך ויראת
מאלהיך
25:44 ועבדך ואמתך אשר יהיו-לך
מאת הגוים אשר סביבתיכם מהם תקנו עבד ואמה
25:45 וגם מבני התושבים הגרים
עמכם מהם תקנו וממשפחתם אשר עמכם אשר הולידו בארצכם והיו לכם לאחזה
25:46 והתנחלתם אתם לבניכם אחריכם
לרשת אחזה לעלם בהם תעבדו ובאחיכם בני-ישראל איש באחיו לא-תרדה בו בפרך
25:47 וכי תשיג יד גר ותושב עמך
ומך אחיך עמו ונמכר לגר תושב עמך או לעקר משפחת גר
25:48 אחרי נמכר גאלה תהיה-לו אחד
מאחיו יגאלנו
25:49 או-דדו או בן-דדו יגאלנו
או-משאר בשרו ממשפחתו יגאלנו או-השיגה ידו ונגאל
25:50 וחשב עם-קנהו משנת המכרו לו
עד שנת היבל והיה כסף ממכרו במספר שנים כימי שכיר יהיה עמו
25:51 אם-עוד רבות בשנים לפיהן
ישיב גאלתו מכסף מקנתו
25:52 ואם-מעט נשאר בשנים עד-שנת
היבל וחשב-לו כפי שניו ישיב את-גאלתו
25:53 כשכיר שנה בשנה יהיה עמו
לא-ירדנו בפרך לעיניך
25:54 ואם-לא יגאל באלה ויצא בשנת
היבל הוא ובניו עמו
25:55 כי-לי בני-ישראל עבדים עבדי
הם אשר-הוצאתי אותם מארץ מצרים אני יהוה אלהיכם
… if a Hebrew man or woman
becomes so poor with regard to you that they sell themself to you … you will
not subject them to a slave’s service … rather … they will be treated as
someone you have hired … or … they will be treated as if they were a
sojourner who has sought work with you … and … they will serve with you until
the year of Jubilee … at the beginning of the Jubilee year … they will go out
from you with their children … they will go back to their family … so that …
they may return to the property of their forefathers … each of you Hebrews are My
children whom I brought out from the land of Egypt ... no Hebrew man or woman
is ever to be sold by you as a slave … you will not rule over Hebrews with
severity … rather … you are to have reverence for your God … if necessary acquire
slaves from the pagan nations that surround you or from the children of
sojourners who live as aliens among you whom they have produced in your land …
such slaves you can bequeath to your children … but … all Hebrews are the
children of Israel and you must not rule over them with severity … if a Hebrew
man or woman becomes so poor that they sell themselves to a non-Hebrew who
lives among you or who is a sojourner that Hebrew has the same rights for redemption
as if they had sold themselves to a Hebrew … if they prosper they have the
right to redeem themselves … and … any other Hebrew has the right to redeem
them … any blood relative that they may have has the duty to redeem them … and
so … for the redemption … the purchaser will calculate from the year when the
Hebrew sold themselves to the next year of Jubilee … the price of the
redemption sale will correspond to the number of years until the next year of
Jubilee … the purchaser will refund part of the purchase price in proportion to
that number of years … if there are many years until the next year of Jubilee
then there will be more money refunded than if few years remain until the next
year of Jubilee … the redemption price is calculated in proportion to these
years … any non-Hebrew or sojourner among you who purchases a Hebrew man or
woman as a slave will not treat them with severity in your sight … for … the
children of Israel are My children whom I brought out of the land of Egypt … I
AM the LORD your God …
… so … the seven year Shamita
cycles and the fifty year Jubilee year cycles are a dynamic teaching which the
LORD established for each upcoming generation of His people … the Hebrew people
… the teachning permits a knowledge and understanding … God among them … they
among each other … and … they among the other peoples of the earth … God’s use
of these cycles extends beyond this particular application to other uses which
are also both teaching and informational … we find in the Holy Bible that the
history of our current earth and all of human history groups into three periods
of 40 Jubilee cycles each … that is … three periods of 2,000 years … or … a 6,000
year period from Adam and Eve leaving Eden to approximately our current time
frame … 120 Jubilee cycles …

End of the 120th Jubilee
Cycle
essentially here we are
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
three periods of forty Jubilee
Cycles each – 2,000 years each
one biblical year is 360 days
one Jubilee cycle is 50 years
the last 40 Jubilee Cycles is the
Christian age
the gap between the 69th and 70th
weeks of Daniel
… so … we find an application of
the Shamita in …
Daniel chapter 9 vs 24
Seventy weeks are decreed upon
thy people and upon thy holy city, … to finish … transgression … ,
and … to make an end … of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity,
and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up vision and prophecy,
and to anoint the most holy
שבעים שבעים נחתך על-עמך
ועל-עיר קדשך לכלא הפשע ולחתם חטאות ולכפר עון ולהביא צדק עלמים ולחתם חזון ונביא
ולמשח קדש קדשים

Transgression
Strong# Hebrew 6588 … noun …
PESHA … as present in this verse … הַפֶּ֜שַׁע … actual glyph spelling is … פֶשַׁע … the best literal meanings of PESHA include
… rebellion … or … transgression … note for the use of this word in this verse
the prefix HA which in our analysis indicates a singular or specific rebellion
or transgression … again in our analysis this would reference … Genesis 1 vss 2
… Isaiah 14 … and … Ezekiel 28 … interesting … the root of PESHA is the Hebrew verb
… PASHA … Strong# Hebrew 6586 … פָשַׁע … the best literal
meanings of PASHA include … to revolt … to rebell … to transgress … the context
of this word into English is essentially to break away from the just and
established authority … the root of PASHA is Hebrew verb … PASA … Strong#
Hebrew 6585 … פָשַׂע …
the best literal meaning of PASA into English is to step however the context of
the meaning is to step or stride with a swift rushing movement toward someone
or something to clear the way and break free … interesting …
To finish ( To seal up )
Strong# Hebrew 3607 … verb … KALA
… as present in this verse … לְכַלֵּ֨א … the actual glyph spelling is … כָּלָא … the best literal
meanings of KALA include … to hold back … to stay … to restrain … to shut up …
the context is an active process which brings to an end an action or set of
actions by an active process or word … essentially something is stopped and
held in a specific and separate state … e.g. a stone wall can stay the forward
motion of a car … while the English translation gives an impression of
something coming to an end … the Hebrew verb references a change in state …
again like the forward motion of a car vs a car that has been stopped … note
for the use of this word in this verse the prefix LAMED which in our analysis
indicates an accented focus of purpose … to … e.g. … to restrain … or … to stay
… with reference to Genesis 1:2 Isaiah 14 and Ezekiel 28 … evil and wickedness
will come to a changed state in the lake of fire … the second death … it is not
an end or finish rather it is a change of state that permits the decent of the
New Jerusalem and the new heaven and earth … in our analysis of various
translations of KALA to English for this verse the selection … to seal up …
appears to be the most appropriate …

Everlasting
Strong# Hebrew 5769 … noun … OLAM
… as present in this verse … עלמים … the actual glyph spelling is … עוֹלָם … the best literal
meanings of OLAM include … from the beginning of the world without end …
perpetual … everlasting … the root of OLAM is Hebrew verb ALAM … עָלַם … Strong# Hebrew 5956
… the best literal meanings of ALAM include … to veil from sight … to place
beyond perception … to conceal …
Righteousness

TSEDEQ ,,, as present in this verse … צֶדֶק … the actual glyph spelling is … צֶדֶק … the best literal
meanings of TSEDEQ include … what is right … what is just … what is accurate …
righteousness … what is true …
To bring in
Strong# Hebrew … 935 … verb … BO
… as present in this verse … וּלְהָבִ֖יא … the actual glyph spelling is … בּוֹא … the best literal
meanings of BO include … go in … come in … bring in … so the general idea is a
forward motion into something … consider the meaning of the name of the early
Patriarch ENOSH whose name means … a narrow space … the father of ENOSH was SETH
whose name means … placed into … and … the father of SETH was ADAM whose name
means … man or humankind … humankind placed into a narrow space following that
unfortunate decision made by Adam and Eve in Eden … in this prophecy that is
delivered by the Angel Gabriel … what he is saying … in our analysis … is that
… everlasting righteousness will be brought into this narrow space … note that
for the spelling of BO in this verse there are three prefixes … VAV LAMED and
HA … in our analysis … the HA emphasizes that it is this specific one time
action being addressed by the prophecy … that is the crucifixion of Jesus
Christ on the cross which provides for the redemption of all humankind from
Adam to the last person born at the end of time … redemption is the
reestablishment of relationship between God and humankind … the VAV emphasizes
that this singular redemptive action is applied actively many times … that is
to each person of humankind ever conceived in their mother’s womb … and … the
LAMED emphasizes and accents the purpose of this action … that is … to bring
into this narrow space the righteousness of God … of interest which we will
address toward the end of this study is a Bible Code with ELS found in Daniel
chapter 9 vs 24 – 25 which spells … YESHUA …

Iniquity
Iniquity is a formal definition
in all languages which defines premediated and persistent behavior that is
characterized by the enablement of gross injustice or deep wickedness or corruption
or profoundly immoral acts … when you observe one of these behaviors the others
are also present though not necessarily overtly … pretty much iniquity is an
example of sinful acts cascading into complete separation from God by acts of
free will on the part of those individuals involved in the behavior … the
Hebrew noun in this verse that translated … iniquity … is Strong# Hebrew 5771 …
AVON … the Hebrew spelling and as found in this verse is … עָוֹן … the best literal
meaning in English is … iniquity … or … the consequences required for an
individual related to their iniquitous behavior … essentially punishment for
the harm done to others … the root of AVON is Hebrew verb … AVAH … Strong#
Hebrew 5753 … עָוָה … the best literal meanings include … to make crooked … to
commit iniquity … to do perverse actions … to do wickedly … to intentionally do
the wrong thing … to twist in a negative perverse or evil way … often linked
with AVON by Hebrew scholars is the Hebrew verb … ABAD … Strong# Hebrew 6 … אָבַד … the best literal
meanings include … to loose oneself … to have wandered away and perished or to
wander away and be destroyed … interesting …

of a seal being affixed to document both completion and accountability for the
action … note that there are three prefixes … the VAV accents that there is
more than one sin being addressed … essentially the many sins of all humankind
from Adam and Eve to the end of time … the HA emphasizes that this is a
singular action that will put an end to sin … and … the LAMED accents and

MASHACH is an unused ancient word which means to rub with oil … our definition
in English for both anoint and consecrate are similar is that they describe an

to the benefit of the whole … note that there are two prefixes for the use of
MASHACH in this verse … the VAV accents that the anointing is for many … and …

with two suffixes … קָֽדָשִֽׁים … the YOD accents and
