| The 50 years from 1977-78 to 2027-28…CHECKMATE JUBILEE?   FINAL JUBILEE PERIOD OF THE AGE? 1977-78 to 2027-28 is the 40th Jubilee since Yahshua began preaching the Gospel in the Jubilee year of 27-28 A.D. (Lk. 4:19; Isa. 61:1-2) That Gospel is still preached: the Jubilee year: 2027-2028. Notice next how three tests occur over periods of “40”. NUMBER 40 SIGNIFICANCE: A Period of TRIAL, PROBATION, CHASTISEMENT EXAMPLES: TRIAL: Ark of the covenant taken by Philistines, removing Israel’s glory in the 40th year of Eli’s judging Israel. (I Sam.4:10-11,18,21) Yahshua tempted 40 days by Satan while fasting (Matt. 4:2) Moses fasted 40 days and 40 nights twice. First to receive the Law (Ex. 24:18), then for Israel’s sin.

NOAH: Gave a final 7-day Warning (Gen. 7:4) “But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. For…before the flood they were eating…drinking…marrying, giving in marriage…until the day Noe entered…the ark…And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.” (Matt. 24:37-39) LOT: “Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded; But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all. Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of Man is revealed.” (Lk. 17:28-30) CARES OF THIS LIFE CHOKE THE WORD: “And the seed which fell among the thorns, these are the ones who have heard, and as they go on their way they are choked with worries and riches and pleasures of this life, and bring no fruit to maturity.” (Lk. 8:14) “…because you are lukewarm…neither hot nor cold, I will spue you out of My mouth, because you say, “I am rich, and increased with goods and have become wealthy, and have need of nothing…be zealous therefore, and repent.” (Rev. 3:15-17) “Riches profit not in the day of wrath: but righteousness delivers from death.” (Prv. 11:4) JUDGMENT: “For it is time for judgment to begin with the household of Yahweh: and If it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of Yahweh? And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and sinner appear?” (I Pet. 4:17-18) —————————————————————————————————– Reprinted with permission from: International Congregation of Yahweh http://www.icyahweh.org/ —————————————————————————————————– |

| Gary Miller’s Article: The 50 years from 1977-78 to 2027-28…CHECKMATE JUBILEE? FINAL JUBILEE PERIOD OF THE AGE? 1977-78 to 2027-28 is the 40th Jubilee since Yahshua began preaching the Gospel in the Jubilee year of 27-28 A.D. (Lk. 4:19; Isa. 61:1-2) Laura writes: Luk 4:19 To preach the acceptable year of the Lord. Isa 61:1 The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound; Isa 61:2 To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn; There is nothing in those three verses that talks about a 40th Jubilee or the date of the 40th Jubilee. Gary Miller’s Article: That Gospel is still preached: the Jubilee year: 2027-2028. Notice next how three tests occur over periods of “40”. NUMBER 40 SIGNIFICANCE: A Period of TRIAL, PROBATION, CHASTISEMENT EXAMPLES: TRIAL: Ark of the covenant taken by Philistines, removing Israel’s glory in the 40th year of Eli’s judging Israel. (I Sam.4:10-11,18,21) Laura writes: 1Sa 4:10 And the Philistines fought, and Israel was smitten, and they fled every man into his tent: and there was a very great slaughter; for there fell of Israel thirty thousand footmen. 1Sa 4:11 And the ark of God was taken; and the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, were slain. 1Sa 4:18 And it came to pass, when he made mention of the ark of God, that he fell from off the seat backward by the side of the gate, and his neck brake, and he died: for he was an old man, and heavy. And he had judged Israel forty years. 1Sa 4:21 And she named the child Ichabod, saying, The glory is departed from Israel: because the ark of God was taken, and because of her father in law and her husband. The Philistines took the ark and Eli judged for 40 years. Gary Miller’s Article: Yahshua tempted 40 days by Satan while fasting (Matt. 4:2) Laura writes: Mat 4:2 And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was afterward an hungred. Mat 4:2 says nothing about Satan. You should have also used: Mat 4:1 Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil. Gary Miller’s Article: Moses fasted 40 days and 40 nights twice. First to receive the Law (Ex. 24:18), then for Israel’s sin. (Deut. 9:18,25) Laura writes: Exo 24:18 and Moses goeth into the midst of the cloud, and goeth up unto the mount, and Moses is on the mount forty days and forty nights. Deu 9:18 and I throw myself before Jehovah, as at first, forty days and forty nights; bread I have not eaten, and water I have not drunk, because of all your sins which ye have sinned, by doing the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah, to make Him angry. Deu 9:25 ‘And I throw myself before Jehovah, the forty days and the forty nights, as I had thrown myself, for Jehovah hath said—to destroy you; I am not sure why you used the above three verses to prove that Moses fasted for forty days and forty nights twice. It is more easily proven with just these two verses below: Exo 24:18 and Deu. 9:25 do not really prove your point of fasting twice for forty days and forty nights. Deu 9:9 ‘In my going up into the mount to receive the tables of stone (tables of the covenant which Jehovah hath made with you), and I abide in the mount forty days and forty nights; bread I have not eaten, and water I have not drunk; Deu 9:18 and I throw myself before Jehovah, as at first, forty days and forty nights; bread I have not eaten, and water I have not drunk, because of all your sins which ye have sinned, by doing the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah, to make Him angry. In Deu. 9:9 it is talking about the first time Moses went up to receive the commandments. When he came down the first time, they had made a molten calf to worship (which was sin). And Moses broke the stones in anger. Deu. 9:18 is talking about the second forty days and forty nights and fasting for their sins (the molten calf especially). Gary Miller’s Article: PROBATION: Moses lived in Egypt 40 years (Acts 7:23) Laura writes: Act 7:23 And when he was full forty years old, it came into his heart to visit his brethren the children of Israel. This verse does not say he was in Egypt for forty years, it does not even mention Egypt. Gary Miller’s Article: Moses escaped to Midian for 40 years (Acts 7:30) Laura writes: Act 7:30 And when forty years were expired, there appeared to him in the wilderness of mount Sina an angel of the Lord in a flame of fire in a bush. This verse does not mention Midian at all. To make the point that Moses was in Midian for 40 years the author should have said Acts 7:29-30 instead of just Acts 7:30 which does not mention Midian at all. Act 7:29 ‘And Moses fled at this word, and became a sojourner in the land of Midian, where he begat two sons, Act 7:30 and forty years having been fulfilled, there appeared to him in the wilderness of mount Sinai a messenger of the Lord, in a flame of fire of a bush, (Young’s Literal Translation) Gary Miller’s Article: Jonah warned Nineveh 40 days (Jon. 3:4) Laura writes: Jon 3:4 And Jonah began to enter into the city a day’s journey, and he cried, and said, Yet forty days, and Nineveh shall be overthrown. This verse does not say that Jonah warned anyone for forty days. It says that Jonah began to enter into the city, a day’s journey and he immediately told them that in forty days Nineveh would be overthrown. There is a difference between warning someone of something for forty days and telling someone they will be overthrown in forty days. Gary Miller’s Article: Yahshua testified for 40 days after His resurrection (Acts 1:3) Laura writes: Act 1:3 To whom also he shewed himself alive after his passion by many infallible proofs, being seen of them forty days, and speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God: This one pretty much says what you claim it says here. Gary Miller’s Article: CHASTISEMENT: Rained 40 days and 40 nights covering the highest mountains, destroying all living things outside the Ark (Gen. 7:12,20) Laura writes: Gen 7:12 And the rain was upon the earth forty days and forty nights. Gen 7:20 Fifteen cubits upward did the waters prevail; and the mountains were covered. This one also pretty much says what you claim it says. Gary Miller’s Article: Israel was subjected to the Philistines 40 years (Judg. 13:1) Laura writes: Jdg 13:1 And the children of Israel did evil again in the sight of the LORD; and the LORD delivered them into the hand of the Philistines forty years. This one says what you claim it says. Gary Miller’s Article: Israel wandered in the wilderness 40 years for complaining (Deut. 8::2-5; Psa. 106:24-26; Acts 13:18) Laura writes: Deu 8:2 And thou shalt remember all the way which the LORD thy God led thee these forty years in the wilderness, to humble thee, and to prove thee, to know what was in thine heart, whether thou wouldest keep his commandments, or no. Deu 8:3 And he humbled thee, and suffered thee to hunger, and fed thee with manna, which thou knewest not, neither did thy fathers know; that he might make thee know that man doth not live by bread only, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of the LORD doth man live. Deu 8:4 Thy raiment waxed not old upon thee, neither did thy foot swell, these forty years. Deu 8:5 Thou shalt also consider in thine heart, that, as a man chasteneth his son, so the LORD thy God chasteneth thee. Psa 106:24 Yea, they despised the pleasant land, they believed not his word: Psa 106:25 But murmured in their tents, and hearkened not unto the voice of the LORD. Psa 106:26 Therefore he lifted up his hand against them, to overthrow them in the wilderness: Act 13:18 And about the time of forty years suffered he their manners in the wilderness. Act 13:18 adds to your point but you probably would not have needed it as the other verses here prove your point. Gary Miller’s Article: October 27, 2020 to October 27, 2028: FINAL EIGHT YEARS OF THE AGE? NOAH: Gave a final 7-day Warning (Gen. 7:4) “But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. For…before the flood they were eating…drinking…marrying, giving in marriage…until the day Noe entered…the ark…And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.” (Matt. 24:37-39) Laura writes: Gen 7:4 For yet seven days, and I will cause it to rain upon the earth forty days and forty nights; and every living substance that I have made will I destroy from off the face of the earth. Mat 24:37 But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. Mat 24:38 For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, Mat 24:39 And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. There was no seven day warning given. In Gen 7:4 in context God is telling Noah what is about to happen. Noah already knew a flood was coming as he built the ark. There was no warning given to anyone else in regard to the flood. See Mat. 24:39. No one knew until the flood came and took them all away. Just like when Christ returns, no one knows the day or the hour. You have only a blanket warning that Christ will be returning to earth, but no one knows when and many no longer believe that Christ will return. If they had any kind of a warning in regard to the flood, it would have been a blanket warning and it is obvious they had no idea when the flood was coming or that they knew or believed that it would actually happen. Gary Miller’s Article: LOT: “Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded; But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all. Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of Man is revealed.” (Lk. 17:28-30) Laura writes: Luk 17:28 Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded; Luk 17:29 But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all. Luk 17:30 Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed. No one was warned ahead of time in Sodom and the angel was even having a hard time getting Lot and his family out of Sodom in time. Gary Miller’s Article: CARES OF THIS LIFE CHOKE THE WORD: “And the seed which fell among the thorns, these are the ones who have heard, and as they go on their way they are choked with worries and riches and pleasures of this life and bring no fruit to maturity.” (Lk. 8:14) “…because you are lukewarm…neither hot nor cold, I will spue you out of My mouth, because you say, “I am rich, and increased with goods and have become wealthy, and have need of nothing…be zealous therefore, and repent.” (Rev. 3:15-17) “Riches profit not in the day of wrath: but righteousness delivers from death.” (Prv. 11:4) JUDGMENT: “For it is time for judgment to begin with the household of Yahweh: and If it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of Yahweh? And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and sinner appear?” (I Pet. 4:17-18) Laura writes: The last four scriptures Gary gives seem to be just random scriptures, so I won’t comment on those. What I want to say here is I find that when people actually show the scripture they are referring to in an article, then the article is most of the time more accurate. Generally, but not always when you just reference the scripture and people have to look it up the author is trying to hide something in order to make a point that they have no scripture for. This article is a mix of both. Some of the scriptures the author gives here are accurate in that they do say what the author is saying. But other scriptures do not say what the author wants people to believe they say. There were scriptures at the beginning of this article which did not match the point the author was trying to make, which is the reason I went over the whole article. I hope this in some way helps both Gary and those reading this article. The author omits scripture that would have backed up what he said, and he says things which are not in the scriptures he quotes, things which may or may not be found any place else in scripture. These things can be misleading to anyone looking at this article. As far as the Jubilee is concerned, the author acts as though he knows when the Jubilee is and even gives scripture which does not prove anything he said in regard to the Jubilee.

| A short note to thank you for finding the error on the Part: “NOAH: Gave a final 7-day Warning (Gen. 7:4)” A typo that slipped by us. Looks like it should have read: “NOAH: Given a final 7-day Warning (Gen. 7:4)” That is, that HE was given a 7-day warning, a heads up of the impending flood. Gen 7:4 For yet seven days, and I will cause it to rain upon the earth forty days and forty nights; and every living substance that I have made will I destroy from off the face of the earth.
