Prophetic Time Spans

Bible prophecy is the news in advance. It is the Almighty telling humanity and the angel host what He is about to do or allow Satan to do. Studying Bible prophecy is like taking a look at the Diary of the Most High. When studied in conjunction with the sacred calendar, Bible prophecy is the most reliable evidence the church has that the Almighty is working to a divine timetable; one infinitely more reliable than the diaries and wall charts business manager's use. Bible prophecy is also the LORD'S way of warning all mankind of approaching danger.

2 Peter 1: 19: We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts:
20: Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.
21: For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.
Amos 3: 7: Surely the LORD GOD will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets.
Ezekiel 33: 11: Say unto them, As I live, saith the LORD GOD, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Israel?

The Almighty does not want anyone to die; or even be caught unawares by the calamities about to occur on earth. So, through His prophets, He warns mankind to repent and live. Consider this amazing prophecy about end-time calamities preceding Jesus Christ's return to earth. Here we are given a preview of our earth being turned upside down and shaken by mighty earthquakes.

Isaiah 24: 1: Behold, the LORD maketh the earth empty, and maketh it waste, and turneth it upside down, and scattereth abroad the inhabitants thereof.
2: And it shall be, as with the people, so with the priest; as with the servant, so with his master; as with the maid, so with her mistress; as with the buyer, so with the seller; as with the lender, so with the borrower; as with the taker of usury, so with the giver of usury to him.
3: The land shall be utterly emptied, and utterly spoiled: for the LORD hath spoken this word.
4: The earth mourneth and fadeth away, the world languisheth and fadeth away, the haughty people of the earth do languish.
5: The earth also is defiled under the inhabitants thereof; because they have transgressed the laws, changed the ordinance, broken the everlasting covenant.
6: Therefore hath the curse devoured the earth, and they that dwell therein are desolate: therefore the inhabitants of the earth are burned, and few men left.
19: The earth is utterly broken down, the earth is clean dissolved, the earth is moved exceedingly.
20: The earth shall reel to and fro like a drunkard, and shall be removed like a cottage; and the transgression thereof shall be heavy upon it; and it shall fall, and not rise again.
21: And it shall come to pass in that day, that the LORD shall punish the host of the high ones that are on high, and the kings of the earth upon the earth.
22: And they shall be gathered together, as prisoners are gathered in the pit, and shall be shut up in the prison, and after many days shall they be visited.
23: Then the moon shall be confounded, and the sun ashamed, when the LORD of hosts shall reign in mount Zion, and in Jerusalem, and before his ancients gloriously.
Revelation 16: 19: ... and the cities of the nations fell ...

It is virtually impossible to imagine the devastation that will occur when these prophecies comes to pass. The very idea of the earth being 'utterly waste', 'turned upside down' and 'reeling to and fro like a drunkard' is beyond human imagination! All the cities of the nations will then collapse in ruins and international trade will come to a shuddering halt. Yes, these are amazing prophecies and they are bound to happen at the 'appointed times' in the Almighty's calendar. This fact about 'appointed times' is repeatedly mentioned in the Scriptures. ( i.e., Genesis. 18:14, Exodus. 9:5, 2 Samuel 24:15, Daniel 8:19, 10:1, 11:35, Habakkuk 2:3, Acts 17:31, Galatians 4:2 ) Consequently, when we study Bible prophecy in conjunction with the sacred calendar we are in fact looking at the 'Diary of the God of Israel'. We are being given a preview of earth-shaking events before they actually take place! The Most High is revealing His plans to us simply because the events which are about to occur concern the whole human race. In the books of Daniel and Revelation, there are several prophecies involving exact periods of time. In this booklet these are referred to as Time Prophecies or Time Spans. They are:

    The 3.5 year period of Daniel 7:25, Daniel 12:7 & Revelation 12:14

  1. The 42 month period of Revelation 11:2 & Revelation 13:5
  2. The 1260 day period of Revelation 11:3 & Revelation 12:6
  3. The 2300 day period of Daniel 8:14
  4. The 1290 day period of Daniel 12:11
  5. The 1335 day period of Daniel 12:12
  6. The 1000 year period of Revelation 20:2-6

Millions of Christians know little or nothing about these prophecies. They have never heard a sermon about them or studied them. Of the believers who have read them, the majority think that these prophecies have already been fulfilled and, therefore, do not concern the Christians living in our day. This is a tragic mistake, because these Time Prophecies concern events scheduled to occur in the days just prior to the return of Jesus Christ. In other words, they concern all humanity - today! Proof of this fact is given below.

No student of Bible prophecy will fail to recognize current world events perfectly match the Master's warnings recorded in Matthew 24, Mark 13 and Luke 21. The Saviour predicted just before his return to earth, there would be an increase in wars, famines, disease epidemics, earthquakes, drought, floods, high winds, sexual immorality, violence and widespread unbelief. These signs are now evident all over the world. They are proof we have reached the closing days of this age, the 'time of the end'. Also notice the time prophecies listed above are not vague generalities, but exact periods of time. Important questions are: What do they mean? When do they start? When do they end? How do they concern me? You need to know the answers to these questions; because drifting in blissful ignorance towards disaster is certainly not for the sober minded.

A Day For A Year

Before we attempt to answer these questions, let us first examine a popular theory which says in Bible prophecy, one day represents one year. Many Christian groups believe these time spans in Daniel & Revelation ( the 2300, 1260, 1290, 1335 days ) all represent years and they have all been fulfilled. For example, the 2300 day prophecy of Daniel chapter 8, they believe, is telling of a period of 2300 years; and the 1260 day prophecy of Revelation 12:6 was 1260 literal years: all in the past! Is this the case? Does one day in Bible prophecy always represent one year? The answer is, not always. A prophetic day equals a year only when the prophetic language so implies, as it does in Numbers 14:34 and Ezekiel 4:1-6. If the language does not give this clear indication, as it does not in Daniel 8:14, Daniel 12:11-12, Matthew 27:63, Revelation 11:3 and Revelation 20:4-5, then a day is a normal day and a year is a normal year.

How can we be sure the time spans mentioned in Daniel 8 and Daniel 12 are literal days and not years? The answer is: we are plainly told by an angel messenger this is the case; the 2300, 1260, 1290 and 1335 day time prophecies will occur at the 'time of the end'. Yes, we are told this fact. Here is proof:

The 2300 day Prophecy of Daniel 8
Daniel 8: 17: So he came near where I stood: and when he came, I was afraid, and fell upon my face: but he said unto me, Understand, O son of man: for at the time of the end shall be the vision.
Daniel 8: 26: And the vision of the evening and the morning which was told is true: wherefore shut thou up the vision; for it shall be for many days.

Most Bible students know the phrases 'the time of the end' refers to the last days; that is, the time just prior to the Saviour's return. In other words, this prophecy would find fulfilment 'many days' after it was given and it would come to pass in the days just before the Saviour returned to earth, in the appointed time of the end! We have now reached that time!

The 1260, 1290 & 1335 day Prophecies of Daniel 12
Daniel 12: 8: And I heard, but I understood not: then said I, O my Lord, what shall be the end of these things?
9: And he said, Go thy way, Daniel: for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end.
10: Many shall be purified, and made white, and tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand.

Daniel 12: 13: But go thou thy way till the end be: for thou shalt rest, and stand in thy lot at the end of the days.

What are these texts saying? They are saying the time prophecies of Daniel will be understood and then fulfilled 'at the time of the end', at the 'end of days'. They would not be fulfilled in the distant past; but in the last days! The angel also told the prophet Daniel he would 'rest, and stand in thy lot at the end of the days'. In other words, Daniel would die and rise from his grave at the end of that time. The resurrection does not take place till Jesus Christ returns to earth. This means these prophecies will end at Christ's return when Daniel, along with millions of other believers, will rise from their graves. ( 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17 )

This means these prophecies, the longest of which is 2300 days ( just under 6.5 years ) will occur in about a seven year period just before the Saviour returns to earth. I repeat, the events predicted by these prophecies did not start in the distant past thousands of years ago. Instead, they will be understood and then fulfilled, as these texts clearly say, 'at the time of the end'; and that time, dear reader, has now arrived. In short, the day-for-a-year principle does not apply to the end-time prophecies of Daniel 8 and 12, and placing them in the distant past is a serious error. Not only is it wrong, but it is dangerous, because few believers will trouble to study them if they think they have all been fulfilled - when they obviously haven't.

Why, then, have some Christians placed these time prophecies in the distant past and used the 'day for a year' theory to explain them? The answer is because there is one prophecy in the book of Daniel where a prophetic day does represent one year and a prophetic week does equal seven years. This prophecy is found in Daniel chapter 9. It is the '70 weeks of years' prophecy concerning the return of the Jews from Babylon to the Promised Land, the rebuilding of the city of Jerusalem and the death of the Messiah. In the prophecy recorded in Daniel 9, a day does equal one year, but not in the prophecies of Daniel 8 and 12. Remember this vital difference.

When comparing the prophecy of Daniel 8 with Daniel 9, we learn the following:

The 2300 day Prophecy of Daniel 8

  1. This prophecy was given in the third year of the Babylonian king Belshazzar, about 553 BC, which was some 15 years before the 70 weeks prophecy of Daniel 9.
  2. In this prophecy, a day equals one day of 24 hours, not one ordinary year.
  3. This prophecy concerns the 2300 day defilement of the heavenly sanctuary by the 'little horn' ( the Beast, the Antichrist ) who will dare to challenge the angelic host above and cast some of them down to earth. The Antichrist even challenges the 'Prince of the heavenly host' ( Yeshua the Messiah ). A more blasphemous move is hard to imagine.
  4. As pointed out above, the 2300 day prophecy is scheduled for fulfilment many years after it was given. It would come to pass at 'the appointed time of the end'. We are not told the starting year, but we are told the central character is the little horn power ( the Antichrist ); and we know he is scheduled to make his appearance just before Jesus Christ returns.
  5. Like the prophecy recorded in Daniel 7, this prophecy tells of the death of the 'little horn' power at the second coming of Jesus Christ. He is to be 'broken without hand'. That is, he will be supernaturally destroyed by the word of the 'Prince of princes' ( Jesus Christ ) at his return. These are vital clues because they point to our immediate future.

The 490 year Prophecy of Daniel 9

This prophecy concerns a period of time lasting '70 weeks of years'. Seventy weeks of years equals 490 years. ( 70 x 7 = 490 years )

  1. This 490 year prophecy was given to Daniel in the first year of Darius the Mede. This was about 538 BC, some 15+ years after the vision of Daniel 8.
  2. In this prophecy, the angel Gabriel tells the prophet Daniel the starting date. It was to start 'from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem'. This command was issued by the Persian king Artaxerxes. In this prophecy, one day does equal one year. There is no doubt about this fact.
  3. At the divinely appointed time, the Jews returned from Babylon and rebuilt Jerusalem. The prophecy went on to tell of the life and sacrificial death of Yeshua the Messiah ( the Anointed One - Jesus the Christ ).
  4. This prophecy drew to its close when the Saviour gave up his life on Calvary and the Jews stoned Stephen to death and, as a nation, rejected the Gospel.

As we can see, the vision of Daniel 8 was given some 15 years before the prophecy of Daniel 9. More importantly, the starting dates of the two prophecies are over 24 centuries apart. The 490 year prophecy started when the 'commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem' went forth and ended 490 years later in the days of the Apostles. At its basic level the prophecy of Daniel 9 has already been fulfilled. It is past. But the 2300 day prophecy of Daniel 8 is still future. It will start at the 'time of the end' and end when the Messiah returns to earth and supernaturally destroys the Antichrist 'without hand'. The 2300 day prophecy is a 'high-level' forecast of the Antichrist's attack on the heavenly sanctuary and the throne of God! When this time comes, and it is very near, the 'little horn', the 'man of sin' will rise from the Abyss and enter heaven itself. He will then defile the heavenly sanctuary and dare to take over the throne of the Almighty GOD! This blasphemous act, prefigured at its lower level by Absalom's rape of his father's wives on the palace roof ( 2 Samuel 16:20-22 ) is scheduled to take place in the very near future. See article Who/What is the Antichrist?

Having incorrectly assumed the day-for-a-year principle applied to all the time prophecies in Daniel and Revelation, some leaders have placed the 2300 day prophecy of Daniel 8 in the past. They believe it started in 457 BC and ended 2300 years later in the mid-nineteenth century. But this is an error. One could hardly call 457 BC, or even the nineteenth century, the end of the world!

The 1335 day Prophecy of Daniel 12 is also future. Daniel was told by the heavenly messenger he would be raised from his grave at the end of this period ( Daniel 12:13 ); and we know the resurrection takes place at the Saviour's return ( 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17 ). The next question is: If these prophecies have not already occurred, then when do they begin? The answer is: No one knows the exact year, but here is a vital clue to consider:

The last-day time prophecies of Daniel 8 and 12 all slot into periods of time between Feast days in the sacred calendar! Begin counting from a sacred Feast in one year and lo! 2300, 1260, 1290 or 1335 literal days later another sacred Feast occurs.

These exact counts of 2300, 1260, 1290 or 1335 etc., are not limited to a single decade or century. They occur over and over again throughout time, keeping step with the sun and the moon; which, as we have already pointed out, were initially created by God to highlight the mighty deeds He planned to perform on His Feasts. At this very moment in time, these exact counts move within the sacred calendar like cogs within the wheels of a divine wrist watch; moving, that is, towards the appointed Feasts when the prophecies they are designed to measure begin to occur. A few examples of exact counts which occur between a Feast day in one year and another Feast some 2300, 1260, 1290 or 1335 days later are given at Appendix C.

We now have three vital clues concerning the Time Prophecies in Daniel and Revelation. They are:

  1. Genesis 1:14 tells us there will be signs in the sun, moon and stars to signal the sacred feasts of the Almighty God.
  2. Daniel 8:17, 19, 26 and Daniel 12:8-9 tells us these prophecies will begin fulfilment at the 'time of the end' in the 'last days': and will end at the resurrection when Jesus Christ returns to earth.
  3. These Time Prophecies slot into periods between a feast day in one year and another feast day 2300, 1260, 1290 or 1335 days later.

Understanding these three clues will ensure the obedient followers of the Most High, the ones keeping Yahweh's Feasts, will not be caught unawares by events at the crisis at the end of the world which will be signalled by signs in the sun, moon and stars. In other words, when a celestial display coincides with a Feast day in the sacred calendar, ( as promised in Genesis 1:14 ) it will be a clear signal to the feast-keeping church one of those Time Prophecies has begun. This is the point being made here. The reader is advised to study this section again and again to fully grasp its significance.

Sabbatical & Jubile Years

In Leviticus chapter 25, we are told every seventh year is a Sabbatical year, a year of rest for the land. We are also told every fiftieth year is a Jubile.

Leviticus 25: 1: And the LORD spake unto Moses in mount Sinai, saying,
2: Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye come into the land which I give you, then shall the land keep a sabbath unto the LORD.
3: Six years thou shalt sow thy field, and six years thou shalt prune thy vineyard, and gather in the fruit thereof;
4: But in the seventh year shall be a sabbath of rest unto the land, a sabbath for the LORD: thou shalt neither sow thy field, nor prune thy vineyard.
9: Then shalt thou cause the trumpet of the jubile to sound on the tenth day of the seventh month, in the day of atonement shall ye make the trumpet sound throughout all your land.
10: And ye shall hallow the fiftieth year, and proclaim liberty throughout all the land unto all the inhabitants thereof: it shall be a jubile unto you; and ye shall return every man unto his possession, and ye shall return every man unto his family.
11: A jubile shall that fiftieth year be unto you: ye shall not sow, neither reap that which groweth of itself in it, nor gather the grapes in it of thy vine undressed.
12: For it is the jubile; it shall be holy unto you: ye shall eat the increase thereof out of the field.
13: In the year of this jubile ye shall return every man unto his possession.

A Jubile is the 50th year; the year after the seventh sabbatical year. A Jubile is not the 1st year of the next fifty year cycle. The Jubile is a year in its own right. The next seven year cycle begins on the 51st year. Put differently, we may say there are two Jubiles in every century and 70 Jubile cycles total 3500 years not 3430 years. Any Jewish rabbi will confirm this fact.

The Jubile year is heralded the autumn before, on the Day of Atonement, by the blowing of a Yobel ( shofar ), the ram's horn trumpet. Leviticus 25:8-13. See passage quoted above. Close study of Leviticus chapter 25 reveals the following:

  1. The Jubile is a Sabbath Year for mankind and the land. Israel was to live mainly off the crops produced in the 48th year; crops which would last for the 49th and 50th year, all the way through to the harvest of the 51st year.
  2. The Jubile is a Year of Liberty! All prisoners and slaves were to be released.
  3. The Jubile is a year of Financial Redemption, when all mortgages and debts were to be cancelled.
  4. The Jubile is the Acceptable Year of the LORD, when all forms of isolation would end and happy communion with one's family and the LORD will be restored.

Sad to say, ancient Israel failed to recognize the lessons from Yahweh's Jubile blueprint. The nation seldom - if ever - kept it as instructed. Nevertheless, the Most High is keeping to His appointed plan, and the spiritual realities to which a Jubile points ( redemption, freedom, reconciliation and miraculous growth ) will be fulfilled when the appointed time arrives and the redeemed slaves of sin finally meet their heavenly Father and enter their eternal inheritance. The Jubile Year will be announced on a soon-coming Day of Atonement with a trumpet blast from heaven, as foreshadowed in the blueprint instructions given to Moses.

A Jubile Sermon

Can we identify a Jubile Year? I believe we can, but not with absolute accuracy - yet. This is how we in SBS / AVITW CANADA see it. According to Luke 3:1-21, Jesus was baptised by John in the 15th year of the Emperor Tiberius, when Pontius Pilate was governor of Judaea. Depending on which historian you believe, this was between the years AD 26 and AD 30. For the purpose of this booklet, we'll say that the 15th year of the Emperor Tiberius was AD 28.

Luke 3: 1: Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Judaea, and Herod being tetrarch of Galilee, and his brother Philip tetrarch of Ituraea and of the region of Trachonitis, and Lysanias the tetrarch of Abilene,
2: Annas and Caiaphas being the high priests, the word of God came unto John the son of Zacharias in the wilderness.
3: And he came into all the country about Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins.

If you study Luke chapters 3 and 4, you will see immediately after his baptism, Jesus went into the wilderness to be tempted of the Devil ( Luke 4:1-13 ). Then, after 40 days, he returned to Nazareth and entered the synagogue ( verses 14-19 ). In the synagogue, he was given the Scriptures to read and after finding the place, he read from Isaiah chapter 61. This chapter tells of the spiritual realities to which a Jubile points. It tells of how the Messiah would:

That sermon was preached in the 15th year of the Emperor Tiberius, when the Saviour began his earthly ministry in fulfilment of the prophecy.

A Jubile Year

Compare those spiritual realities with the directions listed in Leviticus 25 and you will see that the 15th year of Tiberius Caesar was in all probability a Jubile year and the Saviour was, in fact, preaching a Jubile sermon! That is why the Master stopped his normal work and invited his disciples to give up theirs in order to proclaim the Gospel of Salvation. He was, in fact, keeping the Jubile command to rest from his ordinary labours. The year in question was, as recorded in Luke 3:1, the 15th year of Tiberius Caesar; which, give or take a year or two, was AD 28. If AD 28 was a Jubile, then the next Jubile would occur 50 years later in AD 78 and the one after that in AD 128. In other words the 28th and 78th years in every century are Jubile years. Counting 2 Jubiles to every century would bring us to the start of the 40th Jubile in the year 'about' 1978. Again I use the word 'about' simply because historians differ as to which was the 15th year of Tiberius Caesar.

Time Cycles Of 40s

Bible students all know many events recorded in the Scriptures occurred in cycles of 40: 40 days, 40 nights, 40 years in the wilderness etc. We also know many, if not all, Old Testament experiences have high-level spiritual parallels.

1 Corinthians 10: 11: Now all these things happened unto them for ensamples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come.

The word 'ensample', in this context, means to 'prefigure a future person or thing'. In other words, Israel's bygone experiences, as recorded in the Old Testament, were types, shadows, examples, living blueprints and real-life dramas which prefigured realities scheduled to occur on a world scale in our day! One such reality is Yahweh's people, like ancient Israel in the wilderness of Sinai, are also circling in the spiritual wilderness of human society; but this time it is for 40 Jubiles! The 40 Jubile cycles are due to end in about AD 2028. Will time last that long? Will our wilderness wanderings last all of 40 Jubiles - till AD 2028? We think not, because the Master clearly told us that the time will be cut short.

Matthew 24: 22: And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.

This means the Saviour could return before the 40th Jubile cycle has run out - before AD 2028. How many years before that date we do not know. Indeed no one knows the exact time of the Saviour's return; any more than a midwife knows the exact moment of a child's birth, especially if a premature birth is involved.

Matthew 24: 36: But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.

What we do know is that we are well into the 40th Jubile since Yeshua preached his Jubile sermon in the 15th year of Tiberius ( AD 28 ). We also know that the 'time will be cut short'. Moreover, we know when one or another of those Time Prophecies is about to begin, the Almighty will signal the day, the season or the year with signs in the sun, moon and stars.

How does Israel reckon a Jubile?

The nation of Israel also reckons a Jubile to be the 50th year; and that there are two Jubiles per century. But Israel considers Jubile years occur in the 15th and 65th year of every century. Jubile years, according to their reckoning, began in the autumn of 1815, 1865, 1915, 1965 etc. Arthur Spier, a world-famous Jewish authority, in his book The Comprehensive Hebrew Calendar says this about the Jubile cycle:

"The 50-year cycle, or the Yobel ( Jubile ) years. They were counted according to Maimonides, only as long as the Temple was in existence. Every 15th and 65th year in each century of the World Era are Yobel years, and the intermediary years represent the seven cycles of the Shemittah ( release ) years. 2815, 2865, 3815, 3865, 4815, 4865 would be examples of the Yobel years" ( para C on page 225 ).

SBS / AVITW CANADA agrees with Israel that Jubile cycles are 50 years in length and two Jubiles equal 100 years. But we have reservations about the Jubile years being the 15th and 65th year of each century. Much rather would we go by the Saviour's Jubile sermon in AD 28 and say that the 28th and 78th year of each century are Jubile years.

NOTE: Israel, in ( 1998 ) celebrated a civil Jubile to commemorate the 50 year-old State; which was officially proclaimed a State on Friday May 14th, 1948. Do not confuse this civil Jubile with the sacred Jubile mentioned in Scripture.

The Spiritual Jubile Crop

All Yahweh's agricultural laws have spiritual applications. In other words, laws concerning animals and crops also concern us humans who are as 'sheep in the Almighty's flock' and 'plants in His garden'. Few believers realize the last day, commandment-keeping church is in fact the spiritual Jubile crop' to which Leviticus 25 is pointing. A Jubile crop according to that chapter is:

Yahweh gave the Jubile illustration or model to teach mankind a mighty spiritual lesson about His last-day church, the real Jubile crop! If you carefully read Leviticus 25:18-24, you will see how the spiritual Jubile crop ( the end-time church ) would, with divine assistance alone, produce spiritual fruit for Yahweh's honour and glory. So I repeat:

Commandment-keeping believers of the last-days are the real Jubile crop! With Yahweh's help we are about to proclaim the Truth that will bear the everlasting fruit of righteousness for His glory.

Publishing truth-filled literature is an initial step towards learning and reproducing Truth. Very shortly, however, the Holy Spirit, unaided by popular material or mechanical resources such as money, printing/copying equipment, TV, radio, the Internet etc., will multiply the spiritual harvest the Jubile crop represents. The final work of proclaiming the Everlasting Gospel to earth's billions will be done in the last days by preachers who will themselves comprise the Jubile crop! Like the agricultural Sabbatical and Jubile crops of Leviticus 25, we will fulfil Yahweh's plan and finish His work on time - aided by His Spirit alone! Without the help of money, television, radio, video/cassette tapes, the printing press, or the Internet, the Everlasting Gospel will be 'preached' to all the world just as it was in the days of the Apostles. That will be the real Jubile Crop. We will literally 'preach' the Everlasting Gospel like it has never been preached in earth's entire history; and the work will be finished - on time!

And this gospel of the kingdom
shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations;
and then shall the end come.

( Matthew 24:14 )
