A grid exists of weeks, periods of seven years, and multiples of seven that extend beneath the pages of scripture, surfacing briefly inside stories and seemingly innocuous chronologies. The aim of this book is to see if it had any basis in fact, and if so, what was its purpose, and to where was this count of ‘seven’ heading?
The ‘lost’ Sabbatical and Jubilee years are key to this, but finding them requires a careful examination of the chronology of the Judges, Kings of Israel, and the era between the Old and New Testaments. To uncover these cycles, I identified scriptural cases, dated them, cross-checked them with the continuous count, and cross-checked them with known extra-biblical records.
The resulting timeline reveals a stunning convergence of data to Jesus of Nazareth. The Sabbatical years were not lost after all, but counted inexorably to His atoning sacrifice. Moreover, the Sabbatical years (observed or not) were followed by the prophets. In addition to the Messianic countdown, they provide unexpected confirmation of historical dates in the Old Testament. The implications of this research will positively impact history scholars and Bible critics, and readers will find their confidence in the historicity and inspiration of the scriptures strongly reinforced.
