It Was A Riddle Not A Command

Listen to this Podcast discussing one of Joseph’s most popular books.

You Can Learn the Secret Meaning of:

No One Knows the Day of the Hour

 Why does no One Know When Jesus was born?

When Does the Thief in the Night Come?

Why Are the Foolish Virgins Rejected?

No One Knows The Day or The Hour is a Hebrew idiom or parable.

Jesus spoke in parables to conceal His message which He later explained to the Apostles.

No One Knows The Day or the Hour is telling you the very day He will come back on! 

The exact opposite to what you thought it said!

This is the very same day when He first came.

The Book of Revelation Tells you the very day and hour He was born.

You are given clues in Revelation about the thief that comes in the night, about being caught naked and ashamed. All of these clues tell you about the very day He is coming back.

Paul wrote to the Thessalonians telling them they had no need to write them about the Day of the Lord

FOR THEY KNEW FULL WELL THE MOEDIM!!!

Knowing the Moedim shows you the Day and Hour No Man Can Know.

We are also told about the Two Witnesses in the Book of Revelation…
What revelations do the Two Witnesses show you about the birth of Jesus?

There was a heavenly Host praising God when Jesus was born.
This, too, tells you the Day He was born.

Are you aware that the 5 Foolish Virgins did not understand what the Thief in the Night was?
Do You?

All these questions and so much more are explained in detail.
It was a Riddle for us to figure out.
It was not a command that we could not know.
We can KNOW.
YOU Can Know!

Thoroughly researched and profoundly significant!

5.0 out of 5 stars

There just isn’t a better book on Christian prophecy than this! What an eye opener!

Of the many books and articles that I have read on prophecy in my personal search for truth, this is the only one that does not rely on old ideas that were developed hundreds of years ago when knowledge was minimal. So much more has been learned through historical and archeological research. The world has changed so much that before now no one could have clearly envisioned how prophecy might play out.

I think the average Christian doesn’t realize that recent developments in technology and huge increases in knowledge offer us a unique opportunity to raise the veil so that we might see clearly what was once hidden behind a dark glass.

After learning about these things and seriously considering the Bible, with a willingness to set aside my traditional beliefs about prophecy, I have come to the conclusion that this book is inspired by God. Mr. Dumond presents compelling information that overturns long held assumptions and unverified beliefs making the entire body of prophetic knowledge fully accessible. As a matter of fact I think that just about anyone with no previous knowledge of the Bible would understand things that scholars have devoted their lives to explaining.

I would like everyone to know what is being shown in the pages of this book. No serious truth seeker should pass up the opportunity to have their eyes opened through its revelations. I believe it is the most important book ever written,- next to the Bible itself.

Thank you Joseph Dumond.

Join Our Sabbath Meetings

There are many people in need of fellowship and who are sitting at home on the Sabbath with no one to talk to or debate with. I want to encourage all of you to join us on Shabbat, and to invite others to come and join us as well. If the time is not convenient then you can listen to the teaching and the midrash after on our YouTube channel.

What are we doing and why do we teach this way?

We are going to discuss both sides of an issue and then let you choose. It is the work of the Ruach (Spirit) to direct and to teach you.

The medieval commentator Rashi wrote that the Hebrew word for wrestle (avek) implies that Jacob was “tied”, for the same word is used to describe knotted fringes in a Jewish prayer shawl, the tzitzityot. Rashi says, “thus is the manner of two people who struggle to overthrow each other, that one embraces the other and knots him with his arms”.

Our intellectual wrestling has been replaced by a different kind of struggle. We are wrestling with Yehovah as we grapple with His Word. It is an intimate act, symbolizing a relationship in which Yehovah and you and I are bound together. My wrestling is a struggle to discover what Yehovah expects of us, and we are “tied” to the One who assists us in that struggle.

Today, many say Israel means “Champion of God”, or better — the “Wrestler of God”.

Our Torah sessions each Shabbat teaches you and encourages you to constantly challenge, question, argue against, as well as view alternative views and explanations of the Word. In other words, we are to “wrestle with the Word” to get to the truth. Jews worldwide believe that you need to wrestle with the Word and constantly challenge Dogma, Theology, and views or else you will never get to the Truth.

We are not like most churches where “The preacher talks and everyone listens.” We encourage everyone to participate, to question and to contribute what they know on the subject being discussed. We want you to be a champion wrestler of the Word of Yehovah. We want you to wear the title of Israel, knowing that you not only know but are capable of explaining why you know the Torah to be true with logic and facts.

We have a few rules though. Let others talk and listen. There is no discussion about UFO’s, Nephilim, Vaccines or conspiracy-type subjects. We have people from around the world with different world views. Not everyone cares who is the President of any particular country. Treat each other with respect as fellow wrestlers of the word. Some of our subjects are hard to understand and require you to be mature and if you do not know, then listen to gain knowledge and understanding and hopefully wisdom. The very things you are commanded to ask Yehovah for and He gives to those who ask.

Jas 1:5  But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and with no reproach, and it shall be given to him.

We hope you can invite those who want to keep Torah to come and join us by hitting the link below. It is almost like a Torah teaching fellowship talk show with people from around the world taking part and sharing their insights and understandings.

We start off with some music and then some prayers and it’s as though you were sitting around the kitchen back in Newfoundland having a cup of coffee and all of us enjoying each other’s company. I hope you will grace us with your company someday.

Sabbath services begin at 12:30 PM EDT where we will be doing prayers, songs and teaching from this hour.

Shabbat midrash will begin at about 1:15 pm Eastern.

We look forward to you joining our family and getting to know us as we get to know you.

Joseph Dumond is inviting you to a scheduled Zoom meeting.

The Stones Cry Out Part 1 & Part 2

Do you want to know how to prove the Zadok Calendar, the Enoch Calendar, and the Book of Jubilee Calendar false?

Do you want to know how the calendar issue became so confusing?

I go this awesome endorsement and I want to share it here now. with you.

In The Stones Cry Out, I walk you through the history of each change and why those changes came about, starting with the Maccabean days. Yes, it all began around 164 B.C. When Yehshua was here, he was dealing with two schools of thought. The Sadducees were all but wiped out when the Temple fell in 70 C.E. This left only the Pharisees, who began to be persecuted after the failure of the Bar Kochbah Revolt in 134 C.E.

The truth began to become out of focus around 160 C.E. when Rabbi Jose wrote the Seder Olam. This work originally was written to proof Simon Bar Kochbah was the Messiah. When that did not pan out the history was later revived and then redacted as the truth into the Mishneh Torah by Rabbi Judah ha Nasi in 180 C.E. After this the Jerusalem Talmud begins to debate these issues. It was then during this time as the Jerusalem Talmudist are forced to flee and the Babylonian Talmudist continue to grow until the 6th century that Hillel came up with a solution to help them keep the Holy Days at the proper time while they were out of the land of Israel. He did this in 358 C.E. This work was then modified and adjusted over the next 800 years with additions added and other rejected. Until it was finally redacted once again in 1177 by Rambam. And with that we now have the modern Hillel calendar which includes the errors passed on during each redaction. These errors included the time of the Sabbatical and Jubilee years.

Once the Temple was destroyed in 70 C.E., the Jews recorded time by counting from the time It was destroyed. This is why the 40 tombstones of Zoar, which record this information, are crucial to understand.

When you understand why the Postponement rules were first created so that the crescent moon would not be seen in another part of the world before it was seen in Israel then you can understand how they were still trying to follow the crescent moon to begin the month. The Tombstones show us this exact thing. The tombstones also show us when the Jews changed from a crescent moon to a Conjunction moon to begin the month. They also show us when the Jews changed the year from the month of Aviv to the Tishri to begin the year.

I really want you to understand these things so you know why you do what you do as far as following a calendar to keep Yehovah’s moedim.

I would like to add this recent comment to encourage you all to get this book and learn these truths. And the Book is FREE. You have no reason not to get it.

Most people assume that Hillel created the calendar in 358 C.E. They then assume that because it was a Sanhedrin, they are not allowed to change in order to obey Yehovah. The Hillel calendar has been changed many times since 358 C.E. up until 1177 C.E. Few people talk about these changes but we do in our latest Book The Stones Cry Out Part 1 which is free on our website. The Hillel calendar was changed on many occasions and many sought to make other changes during this time. They never needed a Bet Din to approve those changes. They just did them. So this excuse that we do not have the right to obey Yehovah because the Bet Din has not approved it is a crock of crap.
You have the obligation to obey Yehovah. You have the duty to prove which calendar you are to go by. You must prove it beyond all doubt. Yehshua never followed the Hillel calendar. Nor did any of the Apostles.
The reason no man can know the day or the hour is because it refers to a crescent moon to begin the 7th month. That is the day He was born on and the day He comes to judge on. At a day and hour no one can know. Using the Hillel calendar predicts Yom Teruah years in advance so every one knows when to keep it. But even in the Hillel calendar they keep two days of Yom Teruah reckoning back to the sighted moon. Also in the postponement rules developed long after Hillel, they again state that if the conjunction is at a certain time then the day begins at such and such, in order that the moon will not be seen in another part of the world before it is seen in Israel. That was rule number 2.
Everyone has to choose. You have the right to be wrong. But if you choose to be wrong then you also must live with the consequences that come with sin. And that is the death penalty for not keeping the Holy Days, these Sabbath at the proper time. It is your choice.
Just because you write in to me to justify your position does mean it is right. It just means your sounding off.

Allow me to share this endorsement of our latest book again. If you have read our books, please share your thoughts about them with us in the comments below or email me.

And yes, many observe the Equinox.  There are many who are deceived, improperly educated.  And this is why Joe puts out a newsletter every week, why he writes books, why the SightedMoon Zoom Shabbat service started, why he travels to places like England and the Philippines to share this message and why were are going to the NRB in February.  The calendar is always a divisive issue in social circles because the details are many, that’s why there are so many books Joe has written.  I’m not looking to put Joe on a pedestal here.  This is not about Joe worship.  But Joe has tenaciously studied out the calendar from every angle, not to prove himself right, to to seek to find and share what Yehovah is telling us about His Calendar.

In The Stones Cry Out, Joe has shared the history of all the different groups within Israel, and the beliefs they had about the scriptures and the feast days and the calendar.  When you line it all up, you can see for yourself the how and why these misunderstandings and arguments about how and where and why  they came about.

This is my new favourite book and I’m only 60-70 pages in.  And I encourage you to read the footnotes in this one.  Sometimes there’s more footnote on the page than Joe’s words.

When I wrote Stones Cry Out, I wanted it to be one of our FREE books so everyone would have it. It is more of an encyclopedia than a book to read. It will be your quick resource book; you will have access to every question about any calendar, how it got started, and who started it. You will also learn the history of how the Mishnah was assembled, when it was assembled and why. Then, you will learn how that information was transferred into both the Jerusalem and the Babylonian Talmud until it reached its final stage in the Mishneh Torah. Along with this progression, the calendar also progressed and changed long after 358 C.E. when Rabbi Hillel first published it. But…what was before the Hillel calendar? What does the Mishnah record about those things?

The Stones Cry Out was originally going to be one book explaining all the various proofs we have discovered, demonstrating when the Sabbatical and Jubilee years are throughout history.

You can know; it is not a mystery.

As I began to write The Stones Cry Out, I quickly found myself going back, time and time again, to explain how the calendar is behind the confusion of the Sabbatical and Jubilee years. The Rabbis, as they began to write the Mishnah, incorporated wrong understandings, and those errors were written into what became known as the Talmud and then the Mishneh Torah. The expulsion from the land and subsequent persecutions in trying to send out messengers to report the barley being found or the crescent moon being seen, proved to be more and more dangerous over time. All of these things took place over 14 centuries.

Then as I was working on The Stones Cry Out, I discovered that many people were now accepting the Zadok calendar as factual. This is when we pivoted to include all the details of the various calendars that have crept back into public knowledge today and are being used to mislead new people who are just starting to learn about the calendar. All of this was directly connected to the period starting with the Hasmonaeans, up to the destruction of the Temple. Then, with the compiling of the Mishnah, the studies that led into the writing of the Jerusalem Talmud, then the Babylonian Talmud and finally the Mishneh Torah, each error that was added is compounded over time.

The Stones Cry Out, Part 1 explains the history of how each compilation of the Oral Torah incorporated errors, leading the followers thereof away from the actual Torah. In understanding these facts, it is then possible to understand more readily how the Sabbatical and Jubilee years were then mixed and later changed. By explaining all this history, I will be able to help you the reader understand the tombstones when most authorities do not. They have assumed, to their error, the Hillel calendar to have always been in use since Mount Sinai. Not understanding the history of the calendars is why most authorities dismiss the tombstones as too confusing to use. Once you understand The Stones Cry Out Part 1, Part 2 will be very easy to grasp.

Daniel 7:25 tells us he will change the appointed seasons and commandments. Many assume Constantine did this when he made Sunday the Sabbath. Few have considered the calendar’s many changes and how they relate to us today. Hidden in this proverbial swamp of confusion is the truth about the Sabbatical and Jubilee years. The Sabbatical and Jubilee years reveal the truths about the calendar that have been hidden for almost 2000 years.

We are in the very last days and Yehshua warned us that during this time:

Mat 24:10 And then many will be offended, and will betray one another, and will hate one another.

Mat 24:11 And many false prophets will rise and deceive many.

Mat 24:12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many will become cold.

Mat 24:13 But he who endures to the end, the same shall be kept safe.

Paul also warned Timothy about these last days, warning that some would leave the truth and begin to follow demonic teachers:

1Ti 4:1 But the Spirit expressly says that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits and teachings of demons,

Paul again warned the Thessalonians that the Great Falling away would take place in the last days. How can you fall away if you have never come to know the truth? So who is Paul talking to? Those who are called and answer that calling begin to walk this road of restoration back to Yehovah, and then at some point along that walk, they change and leave this walk following the teachings of demons to false calendar.

2Th 2:1 Now we beseech you, my brothers, with regard to the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to Him,

2Th 2:2 that you should not be soon shaken in mind or troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word or letter, as through us, as if the Day of Christ is at hand.

2Th 2:3 Let not anyone deceive you by any means. For that Day shall not come unless there first comes a falling away, and the man of sin shall be revealed, the son of perdition,

2Th 2:4 who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God, or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, setting himself forth, that he is God.

We must endure until the end. We must not let ourselves become offended by personalities and leave the faith once given.

Joseph’s 7 Years of Famine

I am going to repeat once again what I keep stressing in the majority of our books. Once you establish the Jubilee Cycles, then certain patterns develop that you cannot deny.

When you refer to our Jubilee Cycle chart on the following page, you will see our current cycle—the 120^th Jubilee Cycle. You count from the far-right bottom corner. The year 1996 is the beginning of this 120^th Jubilee Cycle. You then count to 2002, which is the Sabbatical Year. You repeat this method from 1996 to 2044 in the upper left–hand corner.

The years 2002, 2009, 2016, 2023, 2030, 2037, and 2044 are all Sabbatical or Shmitah Years. The current Jewish Shmitah Years fall short of being in agreement in that they are off by 1½ years. Rambam even confirmed this back in the 11^th-century when he said the year the Jews keep as the Shmitah is off by 1½ years.[1]

Also, note that the first Sabbatical Cycle of seven is counted from the right-hand side as you move towards the left-hand side—very much like how you read anything written entirely in Hebrew. The 7^th Sabbatical Cycle is referred to the Sabbath in my charts.

The year 2045 is the next Jubilee Year. When you understand the meaning of each Holy Day, then you will see how the Jubilee Year is very similar to the 8^th Day Feast of Shemini Atzeret. This is exactly what we are told in Colossians 2:17 about the Holy Days being a shadow picture of things to come. You must gain an intimate understanding of each of the Holy Days in order to recognize the shadow pictures hidden in them. If we reckon the year 2045 as equivalent to the 8^th Day Feast and then count back to each of the fall Holy Days—but only do it as years instead of days—we then arrive at the results as illustrated on the previous page.

The seven days of the Feast of Tabernacles are represented by the years 2038–2044, with 2038 representing the very 1^st day of the Feast and a Holy Day. Five days before the Feast of Tabernacles is the Day of Atonement—of which in years translates as 2033. And then, counting back 10 days to the Feast of Trumpets, the operative year is 2024.

The seven days of the week are also teaching us about the 7^th millennium. In the very same way, Friday, the 6^th day of the week, represents the 6^th millennium. This then makes the 7^th day weekly Sabbath line up with the 7^th millennium.

This 7^th millennium of rest is exactly what the Book of Hebrews is speaking about: the rest we are to enter into:

7 Therefore, as the Holy Spirit says, “Today if you will hear His voice, 8 do not harden your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of temptation in the wilderness, 9 when your fathers tempted Me, proved Me, and saw My works forty years.” 10 Therefore, I was grieved with that generation and said, “They always err in their heart, and they have not known My ways.” 11 So I swore in My wrath, “They shall not enter into My rest.” 12 Take heed, brothers, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God. 13 But exhort one another daily, while it is called today, lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin. 14 For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence steadfast to the end, 15 while it is said, “Today if you will hear His voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation.” 16 For some, when they had heard, did provoke; however, not all who came out of Egypt by Moses. 17 But with whom was He grieved forty years? Was it not with those who had sinned, whose carcasses fell in the wilderness? 18 And to whom did He swear that they should not enter into His rest, but to those who did not believe? 19 So we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief. (Hebrews 3:7-19)

1 Therefore, a promise being left to enter into His rest, let us fear lest any of you should seem to come short of it. 2 For also we have had the Gospel preached, as well as them. But the Word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in those who heard it. 3 For we who have believed do enter into the rest, as He said, “I have sworn in My wrath that they should not enter into My rest;” although the works were finished from the foundation of the world. 4 For He spoke in a certain place of the seventh day in this way: “And God rested the seventh day from all His works.” 5 And in this place again, “They shall not enter into My rest.” 6 Since then, it remains that some must enter into it, and since they to whom it was first preached did not enter in because of unbelief, 7 He again marks out a certain day, saying in David, “Today,” (after so long a time). Even as it is said, “Today, if you will hear His voice, harden not your hearts.” 8 For if Joshua had given them rest, then He would not afterward have spoken of another day. 9 So then there remains a rest to the people of God. 10 For he who has entered into his rest, he also has ceased from his own works, as God did from His. 11 Therefore, let us labor to enter into that rest, lest anyone fall after the same example of unbelief. 12 For the Word of God is living and powerful and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing apart of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. 13 Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in His sight, but all things are naked and opened to the eyes of Him with whom we have to do. (Hebrew 4:1–13)

This is all very interesting, but what does it mean for us now at the end of the 6^th millennial day? It is not until we compare our current Jubilee Cycle with those Jubilee Cycles mentioned in the Gospel of Luke with respect to Noah and Lot that the importance of it all comes into sharp focus for us. The chart below depicts the year 1656 after Creation, when the Great Flood occurred. It is the 34^th Jubilee Cycle since the creation of Adam.

Take special note in the next chart of the year Sodom and Gomorrah were destroyed, which was the year 2047 after Creation. This event took place one year before Isaac was born in the year 2048 after Creation. The year 2047 is also the same year Abraham was circumcised as told to us in Genesis 17. It is the 42^nd Jubilee Cycle since the creation of Adam.

Notice also that Noah’s Flood occurs in the 4^th year of the 6^th Sabbatical Cycle. Then notice how Sodom and Gomorrah are destroyed in the 3^rd year of the 6^th Sabbatical Cycle. If we compare these two to our current Sabbatical Cycle, then the year 2033 C.E.—which is the very same one that represents the Day of Atonement (back when we overlaid the fall Holy days)—actually lines up.

The following chart is the 46^th Jubilee Cycle since the creation of Adam. It shows Joseph’s seven years of plenty and seven years of famine. The years of plenty begin in 1607 B.C. and extend to 1601 B.C.

The seven years of famine run their course from 1600 B.C.–1594 B.C. Again, notice how the last year of the Egyptian famine was also the 3^rd year of the 6^th Sabbatical Cycle. This now gives us three historical Jubilee Cycles that match up with the year 2033. However, I also understand that Joseph’s Jubilee Cycle is not mentioned in Luke along with the Days of Noah or Lot.

I am only giving you the highlights here as the Cole’s Notes portion. I have already elaborated on all of this in great detail in our books, The Prophecies of Abraham, Remembering the Sabbatical Year of 2016, The Blood Moons—The Elephant In the Room, It Was A Riddle, Not A Command!, The Sabbatical & Jubilee Year Charts, and The 2300 Days of Hell. All of these you can order from our website at: www.sightedmoon.com.

Understanding how 2033 aligns with the Sabbatical Years is pivotal to the primary thrust of this book. By this I mean that 2024–2033 represents the 10 Days of Awe in years. The 10 Days are now going to be 10 Years with the significance of the events that happen on the Feast of Trumpets taking place in 2024. In other words, those events that take place on the Day of Atonement will be played out in the year 2033.

The flood of Noah took place on the 2^nd Passover in the 6^th Sabbatical Cycle. The Destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah took place on Passover in the 6^th Sabbatical Cycle. The end of the seven years of famine in Egypt occurred during the 6^th Sabbatical Cycle. These are all judgments made by Yehovah. Judgment was made on the world in Noah’s time; judgment was made over Sodom and Gomorrah, and judgment was concluded over Egypt in Joseph’s time.

In this 6^th millennial day of mankind, judgment is going to take place at the exact same time: the third year of the 6^th Sabbatical Cycle in this the final Jubilee Cycle of this age. In between the Passover of the flood and the Passover of Lots time is the Day of Atonement in our day of 2033.

As it was in the days of Noah and as it was in the days of Lot, they were eating and drinking, buying and selling and building, in the very same way we are today. This prophecy is not talking about how evil the people were for we are doing the very same things. No, it is describing the 3^rd year of the 6^th Sabbatical Cycle. It is describing the time Judgment will take place in the last days.

The year 2024 is the time when judgment will begin to take place on all 12 Tribes of Israel. The Great Tribulation will be in effect from Passover 2030 to the Day of Atonement in 2033. This is the last 3 ½ years.

Just as the shofars are sounded each day during the 10 Days of Awe, they will also be sounded each year during the 10 Years of Awe. The seven trumpet plagues of Revelation, Chapters 8-11 prophesy a time of catastrophic war, as well as a time when the nations will be judged by Yehovah.

Just as we are to repent and make amends for our sins during the 10 Days of Awe each year, during these final 10 Years of Awe, each trumpet plague—as well as each of the seals and bowls—is showing us the grievous extent to which our sins are offending Yehovah. If we think we can live without Him, then we are in for a severe trial until we realize how critical it is that we repent and return to obeying His Commandments.

[1] Mishneh Torah, Hilchot Shemitah Ve-Yovel 10:5–6 by Rambam Maimonides

The year of the Shemitah is known and famous among the Geonim and the people of the Land of Israel. They all counted only the years of the destruction in multiples of seven. According to this calculation, this year which is 1107 Year of Destruction is the year following a Shemitah. We rely on this and we teach this calculation for matters of tithes, produce, and loans. Tradition and precedent (ma‘aseh) are great pillars in instruction and it is appropriate to rely on them. 1107 + 70 = 1177 C.E.

A Lion Rises Up and the Coming of Apollyon

We are approaching some very serious times, and I thought it would be beneficial to review some of this with you. In this newsletter, I have posted information on all the recessions, depressions, and booms. I have begun to see something that might be of interest to you. However, keep in mind that I am not an economics major, and I have lost tens of thousands of dollars in the stock market. Maybe that was my price for my education. We will see.

Go through the teaching about the 7 years of Famine and the 7 years of prosperity.

Joseph Interprets Pharaoh’s Dreams

Gen 41:1 And it happened at the end of two years of days, Pharaoh dreamed. And behold, he stood by the river.

Gen 41:2 And behold! There came up out of the river seven cows beautiful of form, and fat of flesh. And they fed in the reeds!

Gen 41:3 And behold! Seven other cows came up after them out of the river, evil in appearance, and lean of flesh! And they stood by the other cows on the river bank.

Gen 41:4 And the evil-appearing and lean-fleshed cows ate up the seven beautifully formed and fat cows. So Pharaoh awoke.

Gen 41:5 And he slept and dreamed the second time. And behold! Seven ears of grain came up on one stock, fat and good!

Gen 41:6 And behold! Seven thin ears, and blasted with the east wind, sprang up after them!

Gen 41:7 And the seven thin ears devoured the seven fat and full ears. And Pharaoh awoke, and behold, it was a dream.

Gen 41:8 And it happened in the morning that his spirit was troubled, and he sent and called for all the magicians of Egypt, and all the wise men of it. And Pharaoh told them his dream, but there was none who could interpret them to Pharaoh.

Gen 41:9 Then the chief cupbearer spoke to Pharaoh, saying, I remember my sin this day.

Gen 41:10 Pharaoh was angry with his servants, and put me under guard in the chief of the executioner’s house, me and the chief baker.

Gen 41:11 And we dreamed a dream one night, he and I. We dreamed each man according to the interpretation of his dream.

Gen 41:12 And there was there with us a young man, a Hebrew, a slave to the chief of the executioners. And we told him, and he interpreted our dreams to us. He interpreted to each man according to his dream.

Gen 41:13 And it happened, as he interpreted to us, so it was. He restored me to my office, and he hanged him.

Gen 41:14 Then Pharaoh sent and called Joseph. And they hurried him out of the dungeon. And he shaved and changed his clothing, and came in to Pharaoh.

Gen 41:15 And Pharaoh said to Joseph, I have dreamed a dream, and none can interpret it. And I have heard it about you, saying, you can understand a dream to interpret it.

Gen 41:16 And Joseph answered Pharaoh, saying, Not I. God shall answer the welfare of Pharaoh.

Gen 41:17 And Pharaoh said to Joseph, In my dream, behold! I stood upon the bank of the river.

Gen 41:18 And behold, there came up out of the river seven cows, beautiful in appearance and fat of flesh. And they fed in the reeds.

Gen 41:19 And behold, seven other cows came up after them, poor and evil of appearance, and lean of flesh, such as I never saw in all the land of Egypt for badness.

Gen 41:20 And the lean and the evil-appearing cows ate up the first seven fat cows.

Gen 41:21 And when they had eaten them up, it could not be seen that they had eaten them; but they werestill evil of appearance, as at the beginning. And I awoke.

Gen 41:22 And I saw in my dream, and behold, seven ears came up in one stock, full and good.

Gen 41:23 And behold, seven ears, withered, thin, blasted by the east wind, sprang up after them.

Gen 41:24 And the thin ears devoured the seven good ears. And I spoke to the magicians, but there was none that could open it to me.

Gen 41:25 And Joseph said to Pharaoh, The dream of Pharaoh is one. God has shown Pharaoh what He is about to do.

Gen 41:26 The seven good cows are seven years. And the seven good ears are seven years. The dream isone.

Gen 41:27 And the seven thin and evil-appearing cows that came up after them are seven years. And the seven empty ears blasted with the east wind shall be seven years of famine.

Gen 41:28 This is the thing which God has spoken to Pharaoh; what God is about to do, He shows to Pharaoh.

Gen 41:29 Behold, there are coming seven years of great plenty throughout all the land of Egypt.

Gen 41:30 And there shall arise after them seven years of famine. And all the plenty shall be forgotten in the land of Egypt, and the famine shall consume the land.

Gen 41:31 And the plenty shall not be known in the land because of the famine following; for it shall be very grievous.

Gen 41:32 And since the dream was repeated to Pharaoh twice, it is because the thing is established by God, and God will shortly bring it to pass.

Gen 41:33 Now therefore let Pharaoh look for a man who is discreet and wise, and set him over the land of Egypt.

Gen 41:34 Let Pharaoh act, and let him appoint officers over the land, and take up the fifth part of the land of Egypt in the seven plenteous years.

Gen 41:35 And let them gather all the food of those good years that come, and lay up grain under the hand of Pharaoh, and let them keep food in the cities.

Gen 41:36 That food shall be for a store to the land against the seven years of famine, which shall be in the land of Egypt, so that the land does not perish through the famine.

Joseph Rises to Power

Gen 41:37 And the thing was good in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the eyes of all his servants.

Gen 41:38 And Pharaoh said to his servants, Can we find any man like this, in whom the Spirit of God is?

Gen 41:39 And Pharaoh said to Joseph, Since God has shown you all this, no one is as discreet and wise as you.

Gen 41:40 You shall be over my house, and all my people shall kiss the hand at your word. Only in the throne will I be greater than you.

Gen 41:41 And Pharaoh said to Joseph, See, I have set you over all the land of Egypt.

Gen 41:42 And Pharaoh took off his ring from his hand, and put it upon Joseph’s hand. And he dressed him with fine linen robes, and put a gold chain around his neck.

Gen 41:43 And he made him to ride in the second chariot which he had, and they cried before him, Bow the knee! And he made him ruler over all the land of Egypt.

Gen 41:44 And Pharaoh said to Joseph, I am Pharaoh, and without a word from you, no man shall lift up his hand or foot in all the land of Egypt.

Gen 41:45 And Pharaoh called Joseph’s name Zaphnath-paaneah. And he gave him Asenath, the daughter of Potipherah, priest of On, for his wife. And Joseph went out over the land of Egypt.

Gen 41:46 And Joseph was thirty years old when he stood before Pharaoh king of Egypt. And Joseph went out from before Pharaoh, and went throughout all the land of Egypt.

Gen 41:47 And in the seven years of plenty, the earth brought forth by handfuls.

Gen 41:48 And he gathered up all the food of the seven years which were in the land of Egypt, and he put food in the cities. He put the food of the field which was around every city; he put it in among it.

Gen 41:49 And Joseph gathered grain like the sand of the sea, very much, until he quit numbering it; for it was without number.

Gen 41:50 And two sons were born to Joseph before the years of famine came, whom Asenath the daughter of Potipherah priest of On bore to him.

Gen 41:51 And Joseph called the name of the first-born Manasseh, saying, For God has made me forget all my toil and all my father’s house.

Gen 41:52 And the name of the second he called Ephraim, saying, For God has caused me to be fruitful in the land of my affliction.

Gen 41:53 And the seven years of plenty that was in the land of Egypt ended.

Gen 41:54 And the seven years of famine began to come, according as Joseph had said. And the famine was in all lands, but in all the land of Egypt there was bread.

Gen 41:55 And when all the land of Egypt was famished, the people cried to Pharaoh for bread. And Pharaoh said to all the Egyptians, Go to Joseph. What he says to you, do.

Gen 41:56 And the famine was over all the face of the earth. And Joseph opened all the storehouses, and sold to the Egyptians. And the famine was severe on the land of Egypt.

Gen 41:57 And all the earth came into Egypt to buy, to Joseph, because the famine was severe in all the earth.

The seven years of plenty in Pharaoh’s dream span from 1607 BC to 1601 BC, as indicated in green. Those years align with our current Jubilee cycle from 2020 to 2026. Initially, I had believed this was the start of the war on the 12 tribes of Israel. I got that one wrong.

The seven years of famine are from 1600 BC to 1594 BC. We recognized this pattern aligned with the days of Noah and the days of Lot, indicating to us that this was the end of the time of judgment in 2033, in our Jubilee cycle, and that matched the fall Holy Days for the Day of Atonement or Yom Kippur.

In our other article this week, I show you how Jonathan Cahn used our information to predict a recession in what he thought would be a Sabbatical year and got it wrong. But the stock market has been on a tear the past few years, and I began to think about this. Let me show you what I see. Again I am not one to give out financial advice.

One of the patterns we are struggling to figure out is whether or not these last 10 years begin with Aviv 2024 and end on Atonement 2033 or begin on Trumpets 2024 and end on Atonement 2033. We are watching both until we can clearly see a pattern.

If the 7 years of plenty end on Aviv in 2027, then the Stock Market rally would have begun on Aviv in 2020. Now, I could not get my mouse to land on the exact day for Aviv 1, so I took what I could get on either side of Aviv 1. Here is where the stock market stood on February 17, 2020, March 2, 2020, and March 16, 2020.  This was the start of the COVID panic around the world. It began in China in November 2019, but the WHO announced the pandemic on March 11, 2020, when we kept Passover that year. Fourteen days before that would be the 1st day of Aviv, which is February 27, 2020.

We are now six years into the seven years of plenty. Is the stock market going to continue going up for another year and a half?

With our other pattern ending on the Day of Atonement in 2033, seven years before that is the fall of 2026. Then, seven years of plenty before that date is the fall of 2019. So I have two charts to show the DOW on or around the Fall Holy Days in 2019. My cursor could choose one or the other, so I took both. Those dates are September 2 and 30.

If I add up all the closing prices on each of these days and then divide them by 5, I will get an average number for the Dow during these six months, which is  25,480.47 for the Dow. As of July 10, 2025, the Dow Jones Industrial Average closed at 44,650.64, with a record high of 45,073.63 so far. Does this mean the stock market is going to rise by another 2656 points, reaching a high of 47,729 over the next year? Are you willing to take a long position in the market?

Do keep in mind that the 2300 Days of Daniel 8 start when the daily was taken away on March 25, 2020. This means they end on July 12, 2026. I believe the Red Heifer will be sacrificed at that time. If it is, will the Abraham Accords fall apart as Israel announces the destruction of the Al Aqsa Mosque and the Dome of the Rock to build the New Temple? Well, all the hype about peace, peace in our time, because of the Abraham Accords become another worthless piece of paper? It is also in 2026 that I believe the two Witnesses begin their work, and part of that work is stopping the rain for 3 1/2 years, which will bring on an Apocalyptic famine.

We have also applied the seven trumpet plagues, one per year from 2024 to 2030, and the seven vials or bowl plagues from 2030 to 2033. I am not sure if this is 100% accurate, but we are monitoring to see if it does work out this way. With this projection, we anticipate the Anti-Christ will appear in 2028 during the 5th trumpet plague.

Benjamin Netanyahu’s current term as Prime Minister of Israel began on December 29, 2022, following the November 2022 elections. Israel’s parliamentary system does not set fixed term lengths for prime ministers; they serve until the next election or until their coalition loses a confidence vote in the Knesset. Elections must occur at least every four years, but early elections are common due to coalition instability. Based on the last election, the next scheduled Knesset election is expected by October 2026, meaning Netanyahu’s term would likely end by late 2026 or early 2027 when a new government is formed, unless the Knesset dissolves earlier.

His coalition’s stability is uncertain due to ongoing corruption trials, with a verdict expected in 2026, as well as public protests over his handling of the Gaza war and judicial reforms. If convicted, Israeli law allows him to remain prime minister unless he is sentenced to prison, which could lead to his resignation. Early dissolution, driven by defections or protests, could end his term sooner, potentially in 2025 or 2026. Thus, his term is projected to end around October 2026 to January 2027, barring early elections or legal outcomes.

Donald Trump’s second term as the 47th President of the United States began on January 20, 2025, following his inauguration. Based on the standard four-year presidential term outlined in the U.S. Constitution (Article II, Section 1), his second term is set to end on January 20, 2029, when the next president is inaugurated. The 22nd Amendment prohibits Trump from being elected to a third term, making this date a firm conclusion to his presidency, barring extraordinary constitutional changes or succession scenarios, which legal experts consider highly improbable.

At the same time as these two Strong Leaders exit the world stage, the Anti-Christ shows up, and then the Great Tribulation begins in 2030.

Our newest book, A Lion Rises Up and the Coming of Apollyon, is almost done. I will provide a link here for you to pre-register. In it, I explain all of this timing in detail. We are on the cusp or the hinge of a significant shift in world events. Please share the link with your family and friends and on your social media pages.

The Wall Street Waltz

We have been receiving many emails asking if the stock market is going to crash this fall. More specifically on Elul 29, 2015. Or September 13 or 14th 2015 according to Jonathan Cahn.
If the stock market crashes after Elul 29, then by Jonathan Cahn’s own definition of the Sabbatical year, it would then have come AFTER the Sabbatical year. That is, of course, if Cahn has the right year as recorded in history and your bible.

Here is what Johnathan Cahn is saying as reported by WND.

While Cahn prefers not to speculate on what, if anything, might befall America on Sept. 13, 2015, it will be the next Shemitah year – which occurs on Elul 29 every seven years on the Hebrew calendar. It is a time when debts are to be forgiven and the land, in the agricultural communities of ancient Israel were to be given a rest.

Sept. 17, 2001, was the beginning of the economic calamity associated with 9/11 and the lowering of interest rates by the Fed resulting in the collapse of the stock market Sept. 17, 2001 – Elul 29 on the Hebrew calendar. Likewise, Sept. 29, 2008, marked the next big crash. Sept. 29, 2008, also fell on Elul 29.

All of this is laid out in a new documentary video called “The Isaiah 9:10 Judgment,” the leading faith video in the nation and one of the top-selling documentaries of any kind, produced by Joseph Farah and WND Films.

Farah believes the date Sept. 13, 2015 bears close watching – though he is quick to admit he has no idea what, if anything, will happen in America.

“A clear pattern has been established,” he says. “I don’t believe it’s a coincidence what happened in America on Elul 29 in 2001 and 2008. It would be foolish to ignore the possibility that a greater judgment might be in the works – especially if America continues to move away from God and His Word.”

It’s also worth noting that Elul 29, 2015, represents the eve of the Feast of Trumpets or Rosh Hashana at sundown. An unusual astronomical phenomenon, a blood red moon – or tetrad – is expected to occur that evening, according to NASA. The Feast of Trumpets begins a period known by Jews as “the days of awe” that lasts through Yom Kippur a week later.

While everyone is believing this, they also say that the Shmetah is only for the land of Israel, and yet, here they are looking at these curses outside the land of Israel in the USA. And when I say to them this is for the whole world to keep, they go back to their turtle shell and say it is only for the land of Israel. Hypocrisy knows no bounds.

Let us look at this subject and examine each and every known Sabbatical year and compare them to the known recessions and depressions as recorded in history. Let’s examine the facts. Not the way many people are looking at it, with no facts and just some fictional notes or a couple of facts that fit their own theory. No, let us examine all the known facts and then decide if we are going to have a recession or depression on the Jewish Sabbatical year.

In my first presentation, on video with the Prophecy club, I went around the USA and spoke at 10 cities in 12 days. Towards the end of this tour in March 2008, it was recorded. You can watch this video today titled The Chronological Order of Prophecy in the Sabbatical years. I know it is a long title.

I was not gifted in creating hype like some are. I just present the facts and leave it on the table for others to view. I present things as if in a court of law. Thousands have examined my evidence, and it has stood the test.

Let’s examine the evidence. The things rabbi Cahn shares and the many things he leaves off the table. The things he leaves off the table are the things that prove him wrong.

We have also shown you repeatedly when the Sabbatical and Jubilee years are. We have proven it and shown you how to prove it for yourself. 2 Kings 19:29. Again, this is also where Rabbi Cahn is wrong. He is claiming the wrong year as the Shmita.

We have posted this picture before showing all the known Sabbatical years. In this picture we are up to 21 proof’s We will soon be showing you more as we are now up to 38 and I now have Hebrew documents which might even put us up to 50 artifacts all proving when the Sabbatical and Jubilee years are.

Here are the charts I used in the video. They are large charts, so in this medium, they might be hard to see. You can view them online at the Wall Street Waltz book.

The charts below begin in the year 1790 and go up to 1985. They record every recession and depression in the USA over this time. Click on each picture to get a larger look at it or go to the link provided above.

The chart below has the Sabbatical and Jubilee years recorded on them in yellow, as proven in all our videos and in our book Remembering the Sabbatical year of 2016 which you can order at Xlibris right after the Sabbath. Don’t forget to get our most recent book The 2300 Days of Hell at the same time.

We will now examine each Sabbatical year in relation to the corresponding recession, depression, or economic boom. We will provide the reasons they occurred, and then summarize them at the end of this presentation.

1) In 1792-1793 there was a Sabbatical year.

The year before, in the 6th year, the economy was on the rise and remained so during the Sabbatical year. However, as the Sabbatical year drew to a close in 1793, the French Revolutionary Wars, which had begun in 1792, continued, with new powers entering the First Coalition following the execution of King Louis XVI. Spain and Portugal entered the coalition in January 1793, and on 1 February, France declared war on Great Britain and the Netherlands.

And we have our first recession as recorded on these charts. This recession occurred at the end of the Sabbatical year. Or two years after the Jewish Sabbatical year. But we will not confuse things by recording Jewish Shmita years. We are only using those we can prove in history, which we have done in our book, Remembering the Sabbatical Year of 2016.

2) 1799-1800 is the Sabbatical year. And 1800-1801 is a Jubilee year. A recession began in 1797. This is during the French Revolution. This would begin to emerge from recession as we entered the Sabbatical year, and we were in full bull market mode by the Jubilee year.

3) Then we have a recession after the peace of Amiens, ending the French Revolution in 1803. The economy would boom two years before the next Sabbatical year, in 1806, and continue to boom into 1807, when the Embargo depression began.

The most likely reason for the depression of 1807-1814 was the trade embargo imposed by President Thomas Jefferson to prevent the U.S. from becoming entangled in the wars raging in Europe. Britain and France were engaged in yet another struggle for primacy in Europe. Shipping to both parties could be interdicted, requiring a military response. Jefferson believed that by keeping American shipping out of the war zone, the U.S. could avoid being drawn into a perilous political situation. The British were making the situation even worse by treating American sailors as British citizens who could be taken into military service.

The decline in export demand led to the closure of many important industries in the U.S. The trade embargo also cut imports into the U.S. In principle, the loss of foreign markets for U.S. businesses could be offset by a shift in production to domestic markets. However, such a shift would take time, and the creation of a recession would reduce the domestic demand. The trade embargo was obviously a temporary policy, and so investment in markets that would be difficult to retain once the embargo was lifted was not attractive. So the reaction to the trade embargo was a recession.

Ultimately, Jefferson’s strategy failed, and the U.S. was drawn into the conflict. That was the War of 1812 in which the U.S. capital of Washington was burned. (Note: the white house was burned by Canadians. The only time an invading army successfully attacked Washington. With the war’s end and the end of the trade embargo, the U.S. economy recovered.

4) We next have the Sabbatical year of 1813. The War of 1812 began with the first-ever declaration of war by the United States on June 18, 1812. This then led into the recession year that lasted the entire Sabbatical year and the year after.

5) 1820 is the next Sabbatical year. Take note of this one. The Panic of 1819 was the first major peacetime financial crisis in the United States, followed by a general collapse of the American economy that persisted through 1821.

Although driven by global market adjustments in the aftermath of the Napoleonic Wars, the severity of the downturn was exacerbated by excessive speculation in public lands, fueled by the unrestrained issuance of paper money from banks and business concerns.

The Second Bank of the United States (BUS), itself deeply enmeshed in these inflationary practices, sought to compensate for its laxness in regulating the state bank credit market by initiating a sharp curtailment in loans by its western branches, beginning in 1818. Failing to provide metallic currency when presented with their own bank notes by the BUS, the state-chartered banks began foreclosing on the heavily mortgaged farms and business properties they had financed.  The ensuing financial panic, in conjunction with a sudden recovery in European agricultural production in 1817, led to widespread bankruptcies and mass unemployment.

The financial disaster and depression provoked popular resentment against banking and business enterprise, and a general belief that federal government economic policy was fundamentally flawed. Americans, many for the first time, became politically engaged so as to defend their local economic interests.

The New Republicans and their American System – tariff protection, internal improvements, and the BUS – were exposed to sharp criticism, eliciting a vigorous defense.

This widespread discontent would be mobilized by Democratic-Republicans in alliance with Old Republicans, and a return to the Jeffersonian principles of limited government, strict construction of the Constitution, and Southern preeminence. The Panic of 1819 marked the end of the Era of Good Feelings and the rise of Jacksonian nationalism.

6) Our next Sabbatical year was in 1827. We had a depression in 1825-1826, but a boom from 1827-1836.The Panic of 1825, a stock market crash following a speculative bubble in Latin American investments, led to a decline in business activity in the United States and England. The recession coincided with a major panic, the date of which may be more easily determined than general cycle changes associated with other recessions. In 1826, England forbade the United States from trading with English colonies, and in 1827, the United States adopted a counter-prohibition. Trade declined, just as credit became tight for manufacturers in New England.

7) The next Sabbatical year was in 1834. The United States’ economy declined moderately in 1833–34. News accounts of the time confirm the slowdown. The subsequent expansion was driven by land speculation.

8) The Panic of 1837 was between Sabbatical years. A sharp downturn in the American economy was caused by bank failures and lack of confidence in the paper currency. Speculative markets were significantly impacted when American banks ceased payment in specie (gold and silver coinage). Over 600 banks failed in this period. In the South, the cotton market completely collapsed. See: Panic of 1837

9) The Debt Repudiation depression began in 1837 with a cotton boom in 1838 followed by this depression until 1843. This was one of the longest and deepest depressions. It was a period of pronounced deflation and widespread debt default. The Cleveland Trust Company Index showed the economy spent 68 months below its trend and only 9 months above it. The Index declined 34.3% during this depression. The Sabbatical year was in 1841.

10) 1848 was the Sabbatical year with 1849 as the Jubilee year. 1845-late 1846 recession. This recession was mild enough that it may have only been a slowdown in the growth cycle. One theory holds that this would have been a recession, except that the United States began to gear up for the Mexican–American War, which began on April 25, 1846.

The Cleveland Trust Company Index declined 19.7% during 1847 and 1848. It is associated with a financial crisis in Great Britain.

There was mild prosperity from 1844 to 1848 and vigorous prosperity from 1848 to 1856. This Jubilee cycle preceded the California Gold Rush.

11) The next Sabbatical year was 1855. This is the first cycle of the 116th Jubilee cycle. 1853-1854 mild recession. Interest rates rose in this period, contributing to a decrease in railroad investment. Security prices fell during this period. With the exception of falling business investment, there is little evidence of contraction in this period. Then we have the Panic of 1857. Again, two years after the Sabbatical year. The failure of the Ohio Life Insurance and Trust Company burst a European speculative bubble in the United States’ railroads and caused a loss of confidence in American banks. Over 5,000 businesses failed within the first year of the Panic, and unemployment was accompanied by protest meetings in urban areas. This is the earliest recession to which the NBER assigns specific months (rather than years) for the peak and trough.

Bank run of 1857

12) 1862-1863 is the next Sabbatical year. 1860-1861: There was a recession preceding the American Civil War, which began on April 12, 1861. Zarnowitz says the data generally show a contraction occurred in this period, but it was quite mild. A financial panic was narrowly averted in 1860 with the first use of clearinghouse certificates between banks.

In 1862, there was prosperity due to the war and the industry it provided. Again, this was a Sabbatical year.

The American Civil War ended in April 1865, and the country entered a lengthy period of general deflation that lasted until 1896. The United States occasionally experienced periods of recession during the Reconstruction era. Production increased in the years following the Civil War, but the country still had financial difficulties. The post-war period coincided with a period of some international financial instability.

13) Sabbatical year in 1869-1870. 3rd Sabbatical cycle.

1869-1870 A few years after the Civil War, a short recession occurred. It was unusual, as it occurred during a period when railroad investment was accelerating rapidly, culminating in the construction of the First Transcontinental Railroad. The railroads built during this period opened up the country’s interior, giving rise to the Farmers’ movement. The recession may be explained partly by ongoing financial difficulties following the war, which discouraged businesses from building up inventories. Several months into the recession, a major financial panic ensued.

The years from 1873 to 1879 were the post-war depression years.

Panic of 1873. Economic problems in Europe prompted the failure of Jay Cooke & Company, the largest bank in the United States, which burst the post-Civil War speculative bubble. The Coinage Act of 1873 also contributed to the immediate depreciation of the silver price, which harmed North American mining interests. The deflation and wage cuts of the era led to labour turmoil, such as the Great Railroad Strike of 1877. In 1879, the United States returned to the gold standard with the passage of the  Specie Payment Resumption Act. This is the longest period of economic contraction recognized by the NBER. The Long Depression is sometimes held to be the entire period from 1873 to 96

14) Our next Sabbatical year is 1876, and it is found mired in the depression mentioned above that began long before 1876.

15) The next Sabbatical year is 1883. There was a recession from 1882 to 1885. Like the Long Depression that preceded it, the recession of 1882–85 was primarily a price depression rather than a production depression. From 1879 to 1882, there had been a boom in railroad construction, which came to an end, resulting in a decline in both railroad construction and in related industries, particularly iron and steel. A major economic event during the recession was the Panic of 1884. 1887-1888 Investments in railroads and buildings weakened during this period. This slowdown was so mild that it is not always considered a recession. Contemporary accounts apparently indicate it was considered a slight recession. From 1883, our Sabbatical year, there was a mild recession until 1885. From 1886 until 1890, there was vigorous growth.

16) Our next Sabbatical year is 1890. Although shorter than the recession in 1887–88 and still modest, a slowdown in 1890–91 was somewhat more pronounced than the preceding recession. International monetary disturbances are blamed for this recession, such as the Panic of 1890 in the United Kingdom.
In the very middle of this Sabbatical cycle was the Panic of 1893. The failure of the United States Reading Railroad and the withdrawal of European investment led to a stock market and banking collapse. This Panic was also precipitated in part by a run on the gold supply. The Treasury had to issue bonds to purchase enough gold. Profits, investment and income all fell, leading to political instability, the height of the U.S. populist movement and the Free Silver movement.

There was another panic of 1896. The period from 1893 to 1897 is seen as a generally depressed cycle that experienced a short spurt of growth in the middle, following the Panic of 1893. Production shrank and deflation reigned.

17) 1897-1898 was the next Sabbatical year, followed by the Jubilee year of 189-1899. From 1898 to 1907 were prosperous years. 1899-1900: This was a mild recession during a period of general growth that began after 1897. Evidence of a recession during this period is not apparent in certain annual data series.

18) 1904-1905 is our next Sabbatical year. 1902-1904: Though not severe, this downturn lasted for nearly two years and was marked by a distinct decline in the national product. Industrial and commercial production both declined, albeit fairly modestly. The recession came about a year after the 1901 stock crash.

The Panic of 1907. A run on Knickerbocker Trust Company deposits on October 22, 1907, set events in motion that would lead to a severe monetary contraction. The fallout from the panic led to Congress creating the Federal Reserve System. This was followed by a depression in 1908.

19) 1911-1912 is the next Sabbatical year. It was preceded by the panic of 1910-1911. This was a mild but lengthy recession. The national product grew by less than 1%, and commercial activity and industrial activity declined. The period was also marked by deflation.

A recession followed this in 1913-1914. Production and real income declined during this period and were not offset until the start of World War I, which increased demand. Incidentally, the Federal Reserve Act was signed during this recession, establishing the Federal Reserve System, which marked the culmination of a sequence of events following the Panic of 1907.

20) 1918-1919 is the next Sabbatical year.
August 1918-March 1919: Severe hyperinflation in Europe occurred during a period of increased production in North America. This was a brief but very sharp recession and was caused by the end of wartime production, along with an influx of labor from returning troops. This, in turn, caused high unemployment.

1920-1921: The 1921 recession began just 10 months after the post-World War I recession, as the economy continued to transition to a peacetime economy. The recession was short, but extremely painful. The year 1920 was the single most deflationary year in American history; production, however, did not fall as much as might be expected from the deflation. GNP may have declined by 2.5 to 7 percent, even as wholesale prices decreased by 36.8%. The economy had a strong recovery following the recession.

1923-1924 recession. From the depression of 1920–21 until the Great Depression, an era dubbed the Roaring Twenties, the economy was generally expanding. Industrial production declined in 1923–24, but on the whole, this was a mild recession.

21) 1925-1926 is the next Sabbatical year. 1926-1927. This was an unusual and mild recession, thought to be largely caused by Henry Ford’s decision to close his factories for six months to switch from producing the Model T to the Model A. Charles P. Kindleberger says the period from 1925 to the start of the Great Depression is best thought of as a boom, and this minor recession just proves that the boom “was not general, uninterrupted or extensive.”

August 1929-March 1933. Stock markets crashed worldwide. A banking collapse took place in the United States. Extensive new tariffs and other factors contributed to an extremely deep depression. The United States remained in a depression until the onset of World War II. In 1936, unemployment fell to 16.9%, but later returned to 19% in 1938 (near 1933 levels).

22) The next Sabbatical year took place during the great depression in 1932-1933.

23) The Sabbatical after this is 1939. A recession on the heels of the Great Depression preceded this Sabbatical year. The Recession of 1937 is only considered minor when compared to the Great Depression, but is otherwise among the worst recessions of the 20th century. Three explanations are offered for the recession: that tight fiscal policy, an attempt to balance the budget after the expansion of the New Deal, caused the recession, that tight monetary policy by the Federal Reserve caused the recession, or that declining profits for businesses led to a reduction in investment.

24) The Sabbatical year of 1946-1947 and the Jubilee year of 1947-1948 followed the boom of the war years. The decline in government spending at the end of World War II led to a significant drop in gross domestic product, technically classifying this period as a recession. This was the result of demobilization and the shift from a wartime to peacetime economy. The post-war years were unusual in a number of ways (unemployment was never high), and this era may be considered a “sui generis end-of-the-war recession”.

The 1948 recession was a brief economic downturn; forecasters of the time expected much worse, perhaps influenced by the poor economy in their recent lifetimes. The recession also followed a period of monetary tightening.
In 1948, Israel became a nation after the 1947 UN resolution.

25) 1953-1954 is our next Sabbatical year. This very year was a recession year from July 1953 to May 1954. Following a post-Korean War period of inflation, more funds were allocated to national security. In 1951, the Federal Reserve reasserted its independence from the U.S. Treasury, and in 1952, the Federal Reserve adjusted its monetary policy to become more restrictive due to concerns about further inflation or the formation of a bubble.

There was a recession in 1957-1958. Monetary policy was tightened during the two years preceding 1957, followed by an easing of policy at the end of 1957. The budget balance resulted in a change from a budget surplus of 0.8% of GDP in 1957 to a budget deficit of 0.6% of GDP in 1958, and then to a deficit of 2.6% of GDP in 1959.

26) 1960-1961 is the next Sabbatical year. Again, during this Sabbatical year, there was a recession for 10 months. Another primarily monetary recession occurred after the Federal Reserve began raising interest rates in 1959. The government switched from deficit (or 2.6% in 1959) to surplus (of 0.1% in 1960). When the economy emerged from this short recession, it began the second-longest period of growth in NBER history. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (Dow) finally reached its lowest point on Feb. 20, 1961, about 4 weeks after President Kennedy was inaugurated.

27) The next Sabbatical year was 1967-1968. This was a sustained expansion period. A recession occurred from December 1969 to November 1970. The relatively mild 1969 recession followed a prolonged period of expansion. At the end of the expansion, inflation was rising, possibly a result of increased deficits. This relatively mild recession coincided with an attempt to start closing the budget deficits of the Vietnam War (fiscal tightening) and the Federal Reserve raising interest rates (monetary tightening).

28) 1974-1975 is our next Sabbatical year.
From November 1973 to March 1975, it was a recession period. A quadrupling of oil prices by OPEC, coupled with high government spending because of the Vietnam War, led to stagflation in the United States. The period was also marked by the 1973 oil crisis and the 1973–1974 stock market crash. The period is notable for rising unemployment, which coincides with increasing inflation.

In 1980 we had 6 months of recession. The NBER considers a very short recession to have occurred in 1980, followed by a short period of growth and then a deep recession. Unemployment remained relatively elevated between recessions. The recession began as the Federal Reserve, under Paul Volcker, raised interest rates dramatically to fight the inflation of the 1970s. The early ’80s are sometimes referred to as a “double-dip” or “W-shaped” recession.

29) The next sabbatical year was 1981-1982.
July 1981 to Nov 1982. The Iranian Revolution significantly increased the global oil price in 1979, contributing to the 1979 energy crisis. This was caused by the new regime in power in Iran, which exported oil at inconsistent intervals and in lower volumes, thereby forcing prices up. Tight monetary policy in the United States aimed at controlling inflation led to another recession. The changes were largely made due to inflation carried over from the previous decade, stemming from the 1973 oil crisis and the 1979 energy crisis.

30) There was a sabbatical year from 1988-1989
There was a recession from July 1990 to March 1991. After the lengthy peacetime expansion of the 1980s, inflation began to increase, and the Federal Reserve responded by raising interest rates from 1986 to 1989. This weakened but did not stop growth, but some combination of the subsequent 1990 oil price shock, the debt accumulation of the 1980s, and growing consumer pessimism, combined with the weakened economy, produced a brief recession.

31) 1995-1996 was the Sabbatical year. 1996-1997 was the Jubilee Year

The 1990s were the longest period of growth in American history. The collapse of the speculative dot-com bubble, a fall in business outlays and investments, and the September 11th attacks brought the decade of growth to an end. Despite these major shocks, the recession was brief and shallow.

32) 2002-2003 was our next Sabbatical year. The stock market downturn of 2002, also referred to as a “stock market crash” or “the Internet bubble bursting,” is characterized by a sharp drop in stock prices across stock markets in the United States, Canada, Asia, and Europe during 2002. After recovering from lows reached following the September 11 attacks, indices slid steadily starting in March 2002, with dramatic declines in July and September leading to lows last reached in 1997 and 1998. The dollar declined steadily against the euro, reaching a 1-to-1 valuation not seen since the introduction of the euro. The 1990s were the longest period of growth in American history.

The collapse of the speculative dot-com bubble, a fall in business outlays and investments, and the September 11th attacks brought the decade of growth to an end. Despite these major shocks, the recession was brief and shallow.

On Sept 10, 2001, the Dow had dropped 9.1% and then two weeks later, when the market opened, it again dropped another 14.2%

33) 2009-2010 was our next Sabbatical year. December 2007 to June 2009: The Great Recession.

The subprime mortgage crisis led to the collapse of the United States housing bubble. Falling housing-related assets contributed to a global financial crisis, even as oil and food prices soared. The crisis led to the failure or collapse of many of the United States’ largest financial institutions: Bear Stearns, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, Lehman Brothers, Citibank, and AIG, as well as a crisis in the automobile industry. The government responded with an unprecedented $700 billion bank bailout and $787 billion fiscal stimulus package. The National Bureau of Economic Research declared the end of this recession over a year after the end date. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (Dow) finally reached its lowest point on March 9, 2009.

34) 2016-2017 is the next Sabbatical year. Will there be a recession or a depression? Based on the evidence that we have shown you above, there could be. And then again, it could come during the Sabbatical cycle, as it has in other cycles.

In the following chart, we can see the ups and downs since 1900. On the right-hand side, we can see it is dropping in recent months.

Deu 15:1  At the end of every seven years you shall make a release. 2  And this is the manner of the release. Every man who has a loan to his neighbor shall release it. He shall not exact it from his neighbor, or from his brother, because it is called Jehovah’s release. 3  You may exact it from a foreigner, but your hand shall release that which is yours with your brother, 4  except when there shall be no poor among you. For Jehovah shall greatly bless you in the land which Jehovah your God gives you for an inheritance to possess it, 5  only if you carefully listen to the voice of Jehovah your God to be careful to do all these commandments which I command you today. 6  For Jehovah your God blesses you as He promised you. And you shall lend to many nations, but you shall not borrow. And you shall reign over many nations, but they shall not reign over you.

You are to release the debt at the end of the 7th year. You are also promised a triple portion in the 6th year.

Lev 25:20  And if you shall say, What shall we eat the seventh year? Behold, we shall not sow nor gather in our increase. 21  Then I will command My blessing on you in the sixth year, and it shall bring forth fruit for three years. 22  And you shall sow the eighth year, and eat of old fruit until the ninth year; until its fruits come in, you shall eat the old fruit. 23  The land shall not be sold forever; for the land is Mine. For you are strangers and pilgrims with Me.

But if you have never kept the Sabbatical year, if you have not forgiven the debts owed to you, if you have not taken care of the widows and orphans in the 6th year, why should you expect to receive a double or triple portion before you have proven yourself? Keep the Sabbatical year in 2016-2017 and prove to Yehovah you will obey. Take care of the widows and orphans and the Levite first; then expect to receive His abundant portions after you have obeyed.

Will we have a recession in 2015?
Or will it come in 2016, the Sabbatical year?
Or will it come during the next Sabbatical cycle?

You have the same evidence before you as I do – what do you think?

I do not know for sure. After reviewing all the facts, I am uncertain. But I have looked at all the facts and not just selected two that match the point I want to make, as some have done and then hyped the hell out of it.

We may have a recession that leads to depression and then to war. But to say so categorically… I cannot do so based on the facts as I now see them.

When people get tired of the hype and fiction, they will then seek out the facts and the truth.
We have constantly been providing that truth since 2005 when we first began to teach this; since 2006 when we went online with our website and since March 2008 when we provided this information in our first video with the Prophecy club.

Since 2005, we have been providing you with the facts and letting you decide as the jury. We will continue to do so. Get the book Remembering the Sabbatical Year and learn the truth.

“Summation of ALL the Facts”

Now that we have the facts before us, let’s begin to judge, based on those facts, whether we will have a recession or depression this year or next, and whether we can even discern such a thing.

We will also examine several other aspects as we proceed.

25) 1960-1961 Sabbatical year. 2nd Cycle.

26) 1967-1968 Sabbatical year. 3rd Cycle. End of Niddah cycle.

• Boom year during the Sabbatical year
• The recession came a year after the Sabbatical

27) 1974-1975 Sabbatical Year. 4th Cycle

• Stock Market Crash.

32) 2009-2010 Sabbatical year 2nd cycle

• The Great Recession began the year before

So, out of 32 Sabbatical cycles since 1792, we have:

• 17 recessions, depressions or panics starting the year before. 53%
• 18 recessions starting during or continuing into the Sabbatical year from years before 56%
• 11 recessions, depressions or panics starting the year after. 34%
• And we also had 12 boom years during the Sabbatical and or Jubilee years. 37%

Out of 5 Jubilee years, we had 4 boom times and one weak period. 80%

Rabbi Cahn only used the two Jewish Shmita years of 2001 and 2008. He did not use all the possible Shmita years available. Why? Because they did not draw the conclusions he was looking for, so he dumped them.

With all the facts now on the table, will we have a recession before the Sabbatical year of 2016? Will it come in 2016? Or will it come after 2016-2017?

Just by looking at the percentages, I would say we have a 50/50 percent chance of having a recession during the 2016 Sabbatical year and again the year after. But we have an 80% chance of boom years during and after the Jubilee year.

Here are the most up-to-date stock market charts, as provided by the following link.

You will notice that the recession of 2001 began in February 2001. See the shaded area. The recession of 2008 began in December 2007. In March 2008 is the first bottom of the first dip is in the shaded area. This is the exact time I was telling people on the Video from the Prophecy club and travelling across the USA that a recession was coming.

The Sabbatical year began in March 2009, which is immediately after the very lowest point in the shaded area.

So what do you say is about what is to happen. I am saying nothing right now. Let all those who hope in Johnathan Cohn and the blood moon teachers who say the Jubilee begins after this year of Shmitah year and the Messiah is about to come back, let them watch and be disappointed in another false teaching.

We maintain that the middle of the current Jubilee cycle is 2020.
