The last few days has seen a number of interesting conversations converge leaving me with a number of thoughts and interesting musings. I’d like to share and see what feedback is out there…
I have gone on record before saying that in my opinion 2017 is a significant year. I have sensed that for more than 35 years and not because I was born in 1967. My birth year is tied to the recapture of Jerusalem and I have long been acutely aware of the history of events on the 17s and 67s, some of which Rabbi Judah ben Samuel allegedly prophesied. He believed the Messiah would come in 2017.

I do not remember which, but either during our Seudat Moshiach or our Shabbat Oneg, we were discussing the many events of recent prophecy and the return of the Moshiach and the restoration of Jerusalem and the Tent of David as the center of the world. During our discussion I shared my thoughts on 2017 and Jerusalem.
Last night I read and re-posted an interesting letter from brother James Block about the significance of Jerusalem in Scripture and what we need to be doing to speed the Messiah! In it he makes a solid case from Scripture about the incredible importance of Zion to God and His Messiah.
Then, today, I receive an email about the ‘return of 10-Israel’ and a link to an exceptional compilation of commemorations that occur next year that are all seemingly Jubilee related. Continue reading “Jerusalem, 17s, 67s and the Yovel….”
