=== Times and Seasons (05:20) ===

[00:00:00]  You know, God tells us that he doesn't want the coming of the Lord to catch us unaware.
[00:00:08]  He wants us to be aware of the times and seasons.
[00:00:11]  Is that right?
[00:00:12]  Oh, my goodness, you're exactly right.
[00:00:15]  So many people say we're not supposed to know the day or the hour.
[00:00:18]  He comes as a thief in the night, and we're supposed to just have our head buried in the sand.
[00:00:23]  But when you look at the Bible in context, when God says he'll come as a thief, it's to the foolish virgin, it's to the evil servants, it's to the sleeping church, it's to the dead church.
[00:00:38]  But 1 Thessalonians 5:1 through 4, it talks about how you know perfectly well the day of the Lord comes as a thief in the night, but you know the times and seasons, so that day will not overtake you as a thief in the night.
[00:00:54]  And so we're not supposed to have it come as a big surprise.
[00:01:00]  That's right.
[00:01:01]  Are there specific historic events that are happening at the beginning of the seven-year cycle?
[00:01:09]  Oh my goodness, yes.
[00:01:12]  Take a look at the slide that I gave you guys.
[00:01:16]  The first year of every Shemitah cycle has great significance, and there are amazing patterns.
[00:01:22]  For example, we see the first year of the Shemitah cycle in 1966, 1967, that was the six-day war.
[00:01:31]  It also was when we had the Tetrad of the four blood moons.
[00:01:37]  And I really believe that those four blood moons gave us a seven-year warning before the year of Jubilee, which is 1973, 1974, which is when the Yom Kippur war happened.
[00:01:52]  And if you remember in Leviticus 25 that you read, you only proclaim the year of Jubilee on Yom Kippur.
[00:02:01]  Now, the way you know that was a Jubilee year, because there's a lot of arguments about when it is, it's really simple math.
[00:02:08]  You will notice that at the seventh year or the Shemitah year in all of that sheet, they're all divisible by seven, 57, 12, 57, 19.
[00:02:19]  Well, guess what?
[00:02:20]  In 1972, 1973, the Hebrew year 5733 is not only divisible by seven, it's divisible by 49.
[00:02:30]  That's how we know the following year is a Jubilee year.
[00:02:34]  But look at this: you have the Yom Kippur War.
[00:02:37]  You have the Iraq nuclear reactor destroyed.
[00:02:40]  And then the first year of the next one is the first Intifada.
[00:02:44]  And then if you go to the next sheet, as we continue the cycles, you'll see the first year, 1994, 1995, there was the peace treaty took place.
[00:02:59]  Then 2001, 2002 is when the quartet began.
[00:03:02]  Now, those are the four organizations that want to divide the land of Israel.
[00:03:07]  I believe there are the four horns that we find in Zechariah that God is going to terrorize for trying to divide the land.
[00:03:15]  2008 was the Gaza War.
[00:03:18]  And then get a load of this.
[00:03:20]  Here we have four blood moons in 2014, 2015.
[00:03:25]  And I believe this was again another seven-year warning before the following Jubilee, which is starting this fall.
[00:03:36]  Now, that is incredible.
[00:03:37]  2022-2023 is huge.
[00:03:41]  But not only wars.
[00:03:43]  Look at the financial disasters.
[00:03:46]  As I had said, every seven years was to be an economic reset, which is what our bankruptcy laws are based on.
[00:03:54]  Well, look at this.
[00:03:56]  In 1973, the year of Jubilee, we have a big stock market crash, okay, and that caused a bear market between 73 and 74.
[00:04:09]  Then look at 1987-88.
[00:04:12]  Again, on this slide, you'll see the stock market crashed again in 1987, as well as in 2008.
[00:04:20]  We go to 2001 when the terrorist attack took place.
[00:04:24]  That also was the first year of the Shemita cycle, and we lost $1.4 trillion in value.
[00:04:31]  And then 2008, obviously, we already mentioned.
[00:04:35]  And then here comes 2015, 2016, and we had $2 trillion erased from the U.S. stock market in just six days.
[00:04:44]  Well, guess what?
[00:04:46]  Here we are now about to come to 2022, 2023.
[00:04:51]  And I really believe, says this is the year of Jubilee, we are ready to face the mother of all economic crashes this fall as well as potential war.
[00:05:02]  Say that again.
[00:05:05]  Say that again.
[00:05:07]  Did I get you right?
[00:05:09]  I think this fall there could be a major economic worldwide crash and a war take place in the Middle East.
