(For God made) XVI a Covenant with you and all Israel; therefore a
man shall bind himself by oath to return to the Law of Moses, for in it all
things are strictly defined.

As for the exact determination of their times to which Israel turns a
blind eye, behold it is strictly defined in the Book of the Divisions of
ttie Times into tlieir Jubilees and Weel<s. And on the day that a man
swears to return to the Law of Moses, the Angel of Persecution shall
cease to follow him provided that he fulfils his word: for this reason
Abraham circumcised himself on the day that he knew.

Where did Luke get this? It's not in the Pentateuch.:

(CLV) Ac 7:30
"And, at the completion of forty years, a messenger was seen by him in the wilderness of mount Sinai, in the flame of a thorn bush fire.


It can be explained with Jubilees.

JUBILEES 48
Mosheh returns from Midian to Egypt
1 And in the sixth year of the third week of the forty-ninth jubilee you did depart and dwell (in [2372 A.M.] the land of Midian, five weeks and one year. And you did return into Egypt in the second week in the second year in the fiftieth jubilee.
2 And you yourself know what He spoke to you on [2410 A.M.] Mount Sinai, and what prince Mastema desired to do with you when you were returning into Egypt.

Don't confuse this passage with Moses wandering the desert for 40 years. He killed an Egyptian and fled to Midian for 40 years, before he came to the burning bush, before returning to Egypt.


Where did he get this?:

(CLV) Ac 7:53
who got the law for a mandate of messengers and do not maintain it!"

Again, not in the Pentateuch. Here it is:

Jubilees 1

27 And He said to the malak of the presence: Write for Mosheh from the beginning of creation till My sanctuary has been built among them for all eternity.

13 And I will hide My face from them, and I will deliver them into the hand of the Gentiles for captivity, and for a prey, and for devouring, and I will remove them from the midst of the land, and I will scatter them amongst the Gentiles.

14 And they will forget all My Torah and all My commandments and all My judgments, and will go astray as to new months, and Shabbats, and festivals, and jubilees, and ordinances.

2 Thessalonians 2:3

Where did Paul get this expression?:

(CLV) Ga 2:15
We, who by nature are Jews, and not sinners of the nations,

Jubilees 23:23

23 And He will wake up against them the sinners of the Gentiles, who have neither mercy nor compassion, and who shall respect the person of none, neither old nor young, nor any one, for they are more wicked and strong to do evil than all the children of men. And they shall use violence against Yisrael and transgression against Yacob, And much blood shall be shed upon the earth, And there shall be none to gather and none to bury.

Perfect match.


3 Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition,

John 17:12

12 While I was with them in the world, I kept them in Your name. Those whom You gave Me I have kept; and none of them is lost except the son of perdition, that the Scripture might be fulfilled.

Jubilees 10:3

3 And he prayed before YAHWEH his Sovereign Ruler, and said:
'YAHWEH of the spirits of all flesh, who have shown mercy unto me
And have saved me and my sons from the waters of the flood,
And have not caused me to perish as You did the sons of perdition;
For Your free unmerited pardon has been great towards me,
And great has been Your mercy to my soul;
Let Your free unmerited pardon be lift up upon my sons,
And let not wicked spirits rule over them
Lest they should destroy them from the earth.

This expression appears nowhere in the TaNaK.

(CLV) 2Pt 3:8
Now of this one thing you are not to be oblivious, beloved, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years and a thousand years as one day.

(CLV) Ps 90:4
For a thousand years are in Your eyes Like yesterday's day when it has passed, Or like a vigil in the night.

Close

Jubilees 4:30

30 And he lacked seventy years of one thousand years; for one thousand years are as one day in the testimony of the heavens and therefore was it written concerning the tree of knowledge: 'On the day that you eat thereof you shall die.' For this reason he did not complete the years of this day; for he died during it.

The Book of Jubilees, sometimes called Lesser Genesis (Leptogenesis), is an ancient Jewish religious work of 50 chapters, considered canonical by the Ethiopian Orthodox Church as well as Beta Israel (Ethiopian Jews), where it is known as the Book of Division (Ge'ez: መጽሐፈ ኩፋሌ Mets'hafe Kufale).

Between 1947 and 1956 approximately 15 Jubilees scrolls were found in five caves at Qumran, all written in Hebrew. The large number of manuscripts (more than for any biblical books except for Psalms, Deuteronomy, Isaiah, Exodus, and Genesis, in descending order) indicates that Jubilees was widely used at Qumran. A comparison of the Qumran texts with the Ethiopic version, performed by James VanderKam, found that the Ethiopic was in most respects an accurate and literalistic translation.[7]

The Book of Jubilee is all about the great circle of TIME that God has set into motion. Prophecies are set by TIME. God's TIME has somewhat been erased over time, as key components are locked into a TIME and we are lost as to what they even mean let alone when. By bringing back the feasts, we have re-introduced to the world God's TIME. By expanding it to include the Jubilees, we will be able to better see the big picture of TIME and where we are in it. One of the things that drew me to MJ was the feasts and their prophetic picture they gave us. Mix that with other prophecies that fit the feast scenario and God's TIME frame become a little clearer. Revelation, I believe, has a feast clock embedded into it.

I believe that there is a correlation of the final trump and Yom Teruah. Because of the moon's irregular orbit, and atmospheric conditions, the first sighting of the new moon cannot be accurately predicted.

(CLV) Mt 24:36
Now, concerning that day and hour not one is aware, neither the messengers of the heavens, nor the Son; except the Father only.

Do you have any examples of how Jubilees can bring more clarity to Revelation?

Jubilee promise of liberty and rest (Luke 4:18-21). This sacred release and joy is spoken of in a couple other places. ( Ephesians 1:13, 14; Hebrews 4:9; Hebrews 8:12). The 1000 year rest is for the establishment of righteousness, rest, and peace. ( Isaiah 66:18-23; Revelation 20:2-5). The state of heaven and earth during this time is one of the Jubilee promise (Peter 3:13; Revelation 14:13; Revelation 21:4). In the application of the jubilee incidents of fulfillment, I came across the bounty. God gives a supernatural abundance the year preceding the jubilee, that in the enjoyment of vast supplies there should be no necessity for toil, no occasion for care and of course, bounty in the gospel (1 Timothy 1:14). Grace (2 Corinthians 4:15; Titus 3:6). Abundance of good (Psalm 72:7). Limitless joy (Psalm 16:2), Rest — Gospel rest (Matthew 11:29) Believer's rest and faith secure (Hebrews 4:3) Millennial rest (Revelation 20:2, 3) Heavenly rest (Revelation 14:13) Liberty — Yeshua sets from the souls enslaved in sin and fear (Luke 4:18; Hebrews 2:15). Spiritual freedom (Romans 8:15; John 8:36; Isaiah 49:8, 9; Romans 8:21; Revelation 21:24, 25). Restitution, if parted with inheritance, its possession is restored to him in the year of jubilee, and that without payment with all its tidings of good and wealth of salvation (John 1:29; Ephesians 1:6; Romans 5:11) Sabbatic millennial glory (Revelation 19:11-14) Heaven will be the eternally available for the redeemed (Revelation 8:14-17) 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.

How did John come up with this?

(CLV) Jn 1:1
In the beginning was the word, and the word was toward God, and God was the word.

(CLV) Jn 1:2
This was in the beginning toward God.

(CLV) Jn 1:3
All came into being through it, and apart from it not even one thing came into being which has come into being.

I don't see this stated in the Pentateuch. The Pharisees reject this statement; as they reject Yahshua as Messiah.

Yahshua confirms this as repeated in the Book of John.

(CLV) Jn 5:45
"Be not supposing that I shall be accusing you to the Father. He who is accusing you to the Father is Moses, on whom you rely.

(CLV) Jn 5:46
For if you believed Moses, you would believe Me, for the writes concerning Me.

(CLV) Jn 5:47
Now if you are not believing his writings, how shall you be believing My declarations?"

The Pharisees believed in the writing of the Pentateuch; but, unlike the rightful Priesthood who were exiled from the Temple, they did not believe in the writings of the Book of Jubilees.

Jubilees 16:26

And he blessed his Creator who had created him in his generation, for He had created him according to His good pleasure; for He knew and perceived that from him would arise the plant of righteousness for the eternal generations, and from him a kodesh seed, so that it should become like Him who had made all things.

While not directly stated in the Law of Moses we know that Jesus is the Word of God because each time God spoke, His Word was working with Him. This is why John says that all things were made through His Word (i.e. Yeshua) and there is nothing made that was not made through Him.

And we also have another reference to Jesus in this passage:

“Behold, I send an angel before you to guard you on the way and to bring you to the place that I have prepared. Pay careful attention to him and obey his voice; do not rebel against him, for he will not pardon your transgression, for my name is in him. “But if you carefully obey his voice and do all that I say, then I will be an enemy to your enemies and an adversary to your adversaries."
Exodus 23:20‭-‬22

We see that this angel (literally "Messenger") possessed the highest rank and had the ability to pardon sin and transgression...something only God or the Son of God could do. It is a fitting name and description of Yeshua to be called the Son of God and the Word of God, for who else could better represent God than his own Word?

1 And it came to pass in the first year of the exodus of the children of Yisrael
out of Egypt, in the third month, on the sixteenth day of the month, [2450 Anno
Mundi] that YAHWEH spoke to Mosheh, saying: 'Come up to Me on the Mount,
and I will give you two tables of stone of the Torah and of the commandment,
which I have written, that you may teach them.'
2 And Mosheh went up into the mount of YAHWEH, and the splendor of
YAHWEH abode on Mount Sinai, and a cloud overshadowed it six days.
3 And He called to Mosheh on the seventh day out of the midst of the cloud,
and the appearance of the splendor of YAHWEH was like a flaming fire on the
top of the mount.
4 And Mosheh was on the Mount forty days and forty nights, and YAHWEH
taught him the earlier and the later history of the division of all the days of the
Torah and of the testimony.

The 'Book of Jubilees' and the 'Book of Divisions' are two titles for the same book. This is the word that was given to Moshe by YHWH. This is Torah. This is the word of YHWH. This is the Torah "law' given to Moshe.

Yes I am in agreement with what you've stated. I believe that the Angel of the Presence is also Yeshua and the Angel referred to in the passage I cited earlier.

@HARK! While I do believe the Book of Jubilees is Scripture, I also find that much of the time in there was purposefully corrupted. Evidence of this can be seen in the Assumption of Moses which places the death of Moses in the 2,500th Year from Adam; and when you do the math for Jubilees you get this...

The Angel of the Presence tells Moses in our current version of Jubilees that from Adam to Moses on Mount Sinai is 49 Jubilees 1 Week and 2 Years

...the Angel of the Presence goes on further to tell Moses that the Israelites still have 40 Years of learning to do...

80th Year of Moses
(7 Weeks × 7 Years + 1 Year) × 49 Jubilees + (7 Years + 2 Years) = 2,459 Years

120th Year of Moses
2,459 Years + 40 Years = 2,499 Years
2,499 Years + 1 Year = 2,500 Years

While I haven't bothered to really investigate what would be the point of such a thing other than sending someone down a dead end...I did notice this and thought it would be useful to know.

Can you name one book of the Bible which has not been corrupted in some way?

(CLV) Jn 16:13
Yet whenever that may be coming—the spirit of truth—it will be guiding you into all the truth, for it will not be speaking from itself, but whatsoever it should be hearing will it be speaking, and of what is coming will it be informing you.

I'm not sure why you would assume that what you've presented is a corruption.

You'll have to present a more detailed case, in order to explain this purported corruption to me.

Well it is true that when the Word of God was originally handed to Moses the first two times before the destruction of the 1st Temple, and a third time to Ezra--after the 1st Temple and the scrolls had been destroyed. Once the translations after the Septuagint had been completed then we begin to see corruptions introduced into the text; and as Christ gained wider acceptance we see more corruptions introduced which would remove or distort anything which would prove the existence of Christ historically and chronologically in the Hebrew Scriptures.

Now to not go into unecessary technical detail the .pdf file I uploaded elsewhere showing the 140 Jubilees from Adam to the End of the World which break down in great detail the weeks, years, and jubilees in which key events would occur show that the numbers given in the Book of Jubilees aren't true, and have been written in such a way so as to get people lost in making the connection of Jubilees having 50 Chapters which cover a history from Adam to Moses being 49 Jubilees. And after completing my work I couldn't deny that these corruptions existed and were coordinated to send people down a rabbit hole.

So according to the work I've done the end of Jubilees would have occured in the 19th Year of the 79th Jubilee or 78 Jubilees 2 Weeks and 5 Years which is 3,919 Years from Adam:

(7 Weeks × 7 Years + 1 Year) × 78 Jubilees + (14 Years + 5 Years) = 3,919 Years

3,919 Years ÷ 50 Years = 78.38 Jubilees
78 Jubilees × 50 Years = 3,900 Years

...convert the decimal...

0.38 Jubilees × 50 Years = 19 Years

And after doing the chronological work based on the Septuagint the numbers also add up to the same timeline...

2,242 Years (Adam to Flood)
1,247 Years (Flood to Abraham)
430 Years (Abraham to Moses)
3,919 Years (Adam to Moses)


While the theology and overall message in Jubilees is sound, much of the the chronology in reckoning the Jubilee years are not. Therefore I have said it has corruptions.
