Please see posts #14 and #18, and the OP for my response concerning what you have written.5779 + 165 = 5944
We can not use the 163 or the 158 because it was only ten days not years, it would not throw out the yearly cycle by enough to count.
Besides 50th year Jubilee cycle has the Jubilee 50th year as also the 1 year of the next cycle count.... hence 49 years every time...only the last Jubilee will be part of the Millennium. After the Sabbath year, the Jubilee year is the only other special reoccurring year in Scripture. It is basically a week of Sabbath years, following the same pattern as the Sabbath day and Sabbath year cycles.
Leviticus 25:8-10 (HCSB) — 8 “You are to count seven sabbatical years, seven times seven years, so that the time period of the seven sabbatical years amounts to 49. 9 Then you are to sound a trumpet loudly in the seventh month, on the tenth [day] of the month; you will sound it throughout your land on the Day of Atonement. 10 You are to consecrate the fiftieth year and proclaim freedom in the land for all its inhabitants. It will be your Jubilee, when each of you is to return to his property and each of you to his clan. If you do the 50th year before starting the next cycle, you will be throwing off the Sabbatical cycle of 49 year on the big picture.
Jubilee is based on and derived directly from the Sabbath year cycle, or specifically counting seven Sabbath year cycles = 49 years.
By saying to hallow the 50th year, it makes it clear that it is the year following every seventh Sabbath year. It also makes it clear that the Jubilee is not ever the same year as a Sabbath year nor is it on a separate sequence coming every 50th year. It is the 50th year counting from the last Jubilee because it is using inclusive reckoning in its counting. In other words, the Jubilee year does not interrupt the Sabbath year cycle, but is always followed by the second year of that Sabbath year cycle. In this way, every Sabbath year remains a multiple of seven years away from any other Sabbath year in history.
