    Shalom Rico,
    Although we may struggle to understand what was written in Hebrew, through another mind set, it is always a blessing to feel The Father’s heart through a broken voice of one of his mighty men. Thank you Rico, for thos tears, His Heart was beating while you read and we heard.

    I had commented on what I have heared others teach. . . But though the math throws 3,500. . .Bible historic chronology does not add to more than 3408 years from Adam till the return from Babylon. I still do not get it but nothing pleases me more than searching for truth in Shabbat and knowing I have brothers and sisters that enjoy it as well.
    We are but a few that FINALLY figured we must “keep the seventh day”, we are counting the Omer now we just need to figure out what year is the next Jubilee to rejoice in it!

    Here is what I read from jewish scholars:
    Here is what I found in a Jewish page. It states that 37 Jubilees had gone by,
    Yechezkel (Ezekiel) 40:1 In the twenty-fifth year of our exile, at the beginning of the year, on the tenth of the month, in the fourteenth year after the fall of the city–on that very day the hand of HaShem was upon me and he took me there.

    Yechezkel (Ezekiel) 40:1, According to the Talmud [66], this was a jubilee year, while the release years (shmitot) and jubilee years did not commence until the land had been divided. The calculation is then as follows: The Temple was built four hundred and eighty years after the Exodus, which was four hundred and forty years after their entry into Eretz Israel. The Temple stood four hundred and ten years, making a total of eight hundred and fifty years from their entry until its destruction, which is thirty-seven Jubilees. Deducting fourteen years for conquest and division, as these did not count for Jubilee, we find that it was destroyed fourteen years before a Jubilee year, and therefore the fourteenth year after its destruction was a Jubilee year. (The Talmud deduces that this was a Jubilee year independently of this calculation.)

    The Israelites crossed the Jordan just after Passover in 2489 a.m. They celebrated the first yovel year in 2553 a.m.

    The Israelites returned from captivity in 3408 a.m.

  2. Hello Rico, I am using the complete Jewish Bible to follow along but find our words are different. Can u give me the name of the one u are using? Thank u so much!

  3. My brother Rico,
    Again, the reading and teaching was well researched by you. Thank you in willing to be a vessel of YA in order to pour his living water not only into our minds but our hearts (especially for analytical thinkers such as me). Stay strong and let others see the blessings YA has bestowed on you. Through your works maybe one more soul may grab on to one of the four corners of your garment.

  4. Thank you, Rico, for another great teaching. Another opportunity to realize the magnitude of the sin of my former life and the magnitude of His love and graciousness as He rescued and preserves me / us. May our Father and King give us the strength to face the days ahead with confidence in Him and not be distracted by the evil that swirls around us. The only way we are going to be Am Echad / One People is when we become Torah compliant. Blessings and hugs …. Thank you again for all you do …

    Shalom,

    I believe you meant 3500 years with out celebreating “Jubile Year”
    not 490. For they had not celebrated it ever!

    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.
    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.
    Levitucus 25:10-11

    50 years it took every Jubilie year to come to pass times the 70 Jubile years= 3500

    The land enjoyed its sabbath rests; all the time of its desolation it rested, until the seventy years were completed in fulfillment of the word of the LORD spoken by Jeremiah.

  6. Rico! You brought me to tears as you were reading Yirmeyahu. You ended the tape…I read it again on my own, in tears, face down on the floor! Reflecting on where my life once was and how He should have killed me too…His love in unsearchable.
    Moments like those with Him are the true blessings in my life!
    Shalom!
