“Seventy sevens are decreed upon your people and upon your set-apart city to restrain rebellion, and to seal sin, and to cover evil, and to bring eternal righteousness, and to seal vision and prophet, and to anoint the set-apart of set-aparts.”

     In 521 B.C.E. the prophecy of 70 sevens was spoken to Daniel in exile in Babylon. This date started a counting of sevens of years to the command by Artaxerxes I given to Ezra to restore Jerusalem in 458 B.C.E., 63 years or 9 sevens later.  The counting of sevens continued 455 years or 65 sevens later to the birth of Messiah in 3 B.C.E., and then 28 years or 4 sevens later on the ancient Hebrew calendar to the start of the ministry of Messiah in February 27 C.E.

     When calculating the dates of events through history, patterns of sevens and Jubilees begin to emerge connecting events together.  And as the sevens count from the creation of Adam to the present, all of the sevens and Jubilees begin to converge into the year 2017.

 

2017 is the year in which 69 sevens of weeks of the counting of the Omer are completed from the founding of the nation of Israel on the 49th day of the counting of the Omer on May 14, 1948.

 

2017 is the year in which 69 sevens of years are completed from the command by Suleiman I to rebuild Jerusalem in about 1534.

 

2017 is the year in which 7 sevens of years are completed from the command by the Ministerial Committee for Economic Affairs to restore and rebuild Jerusalem on September 8, 1968.

 

2017 is the 50th year, the year of Jubilee, from the capture of Jerusalem by Israel in the 6 Day War on June 7, 1967

 

2017 is the year in which 7 sevens of Jubilees are completed from the command by Artaxerxes I given to Nehemiah to rebuild Jerusalem in 445 B.C.E.

 

2017 is the year of Jubilee, in which the Latter Rain Outpouring Began in Jerusalem during the Festival of Sukkot, beginning in the 50th year from the resurrection of the nation of Israel in 1967, just as the Former Rain Outpouring began on the Day of the Festival of Shavuot (Pentecost), on the 50th day from the resurrection of Messiah in 28 C.E.  And from the resurrection of Messiah in 28 C.E. to the resurrection of the nation of Israel in 1967 are 1,939 years or 277 sevens.

 

2017 is the year of Jubilee in which 120 Jubilees are completed from the creation of Adam, fulfilling the 120 Jubilees or 6,000 (50 x 120) years promised in Genesis for the completion of the 6 days of man to rule the earth. 

 

     All of the prophesied calculations of time in Scripture are converging together for one time only into the year 2017.  Never again in all of eternity can all of these calculations of sevens and Jubilees from the creation of Adam and from the commands for the rebuilding of Jerusalem be repeated again.  All of the counting of the years of the events in history are pointing toward one date, the date when 70 sevens will be fulfilled at the end of the Last Seven. 

     Could the year 2017 be the start of the Last Seven?
