LOCATING GOD'S ANCIENT JUBILEE CYCLE
IN TYPE AND ANTI-TYPE
This topic of the Jubilee is such a fascinating study. Many don't realize the significance of the types and symbols in the earthly sanctuary services as that which God used to illustrate the grand great plan of redemption. If one knows and believes that----
“The whole system of types and symbols was a compacted prophecy of the gospel, a presentation in which were bound up the promises of redemption.” AA 14
---then one will see reason enough to make it one's diligent study.
“So in the prophecies the future is opened before us...But multitudes have no more understanding of these important truths than if they had never been revealed. Satan watches to catch away every impression that would make them wise unto salvation, and the time of trouble will find them unready.” GC88 594
The earthly sanctuary services, then, ARE THE PROPHECIES. These are the foundation of all prophecy, including those of Daniel and of Revelation.
I believe we agree that the Jubilee begins when God delivers His people and speaks the day and the hour of the second coming.
“It was at midnight that God chose to deliver His people....And as God spoke the day and the hour of Jesus' coming and delivered the everlasting covenant to His people, He spoke one sentence, and then paused, while the words were rolling through the earth ...And when the never-ending blessing was pronounced on those who had honored God in keeping His Sabbath holy, there was a mighty shout of victory over the beast and over his image. Then commenced the jubilee, when the land should rest.” EW 285, 286
Therefore, in knowing about the Jubilee in no way tells us when the second coming occurs.
The next point that we must agree with is that the Jubilee came the year after the 7th Sabbatical year.
“But in the seventh year shall be a sabbath of rest unto the land...And thou shalt number seven sabbaths of years unto thee, seven times seven years; and the space of the seven sabbaths of years shall be unto thee forty and nine years. Then shalt thou cause the trumpet of the jubilee to sound on the tenth [day] of the seventh month, in the day of atonement shall ye make the trumpet sound throughout all your land. And ye shall hallow the fiftieth year,..” Leviticus 23:4,8,9,10
This text clearly shows that after the seven sets of seven years—49 years have expired, then on the next Day of Atonement, in the 50 year, the trumpet sounds announcing the year of Jubilee.
In our weekly cycle of seven days, there can be no interruption of the cycle of seven. Similarly, in the cycle of years, therefore, the 50th year was number 1 in the next cycle of 7 years.
Another illustration, in miniature, from the earthly sanctuary, that enforced this point was the time period that the Hebrews were to count in the number of days from the Wave Sheaf offering to the Day of Pentecost.
“And ye shall count unto you from the morrow after the sabbath, from the day that ye brought the sheaf of the wave offering; seven sabbaths shall be complete: Even unto the morrow after the seventh sabbath shall ye number fifty days;” Leviticus 23:15, 16
These seven sabbaths, or seven weeks, made a total of 49 days, then “on the morrow after the 7th Sabbath shall ye number 50 days.” This was a miniature symbol of the Jubilee cycle.
I'm sure we all agree that man was never given permission to set any of God's times. God has reserved that power to Himself. He appoints the time of all the events in the plan of salvation. This includes the year of Jubilee, as well.
“And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent: Because he hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in righteousness by [that] man whom he hath ordained;” Acts 17: 30, 31
This text shows that He appoints the times.
In determining the Jubilees, then, we must use only the express inspired word of God, not any suppositions of man, including our own.
“Cease ye from man, whose breath is in his nostrils:” Isaiah 2:22
In the inspired word of God, we have the prophet, Isaiah, who prophesied of the two great fulfillments of the Jubilee—the first fulfillment relating to the first advent of Christ at the announcement of His public ministry, and the second, relative to the “day of vengeance of our God” when the saints hear the voice of God.
“The spirit of the Lord GOD [is] upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to [them that are] bound; To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, and the day of vengeance of our God;” Isaiah 61:1,2
Please notice the cross referencing in the Bible from this text, to Leviticus 25 and to Luke 4.
Leviticus 25 specifies the count of the years to reach to the Jubilee year, and also that the Jubilee trumpet is blown on the Day of Atonement (Leviticus 23:32 specifies the Day of Atonement to be a Sabbath). Luke 4 is the account of the Messiah in the synagogue on the Sabbath Day of Atonement reading this same Jubilee prophecy from Isaiah 61. PLEASE NOTICE WHAT PART OF THE PROPHECY HE READ AND WHAT HE DID NOT.
He only read to the middle of the sentence, stopping before reading the phrase, “and the day of vengeance of our God;” which did not apply to that fulfillment of the Jubilee. Then Christ made this startling announcement!! “THIS DAY IS THIS SCRIPTURE FULFILLED IN YOUR EARS.” Luke 4:21.
“Few realize the full meaning of the words that Christ spoke when, in the synagogue at Nazareth, He announced Himself as the Anointed One.” AA 416
The Spirit of Prophecy specifies the year of this occurrence.
“In A.D. 27, Jesus at His baptism received the anointing of the Holy Spirit and soon afterward began His ministry. Then the message was proclaimed, “The time is fulfilled.” Mark 1:15.” PK 699
Josephus, the first century Jewish historian, gives the list of the ancient Jubilees beginning with the year, 1787-1786 B.C. and ends with the year, 27-28 A.D. This Jewish historical record agrees with the same year, 27 A.D. given in the statement from the Spirit of Prophecy.
Of interest is an article in the Adventist Review, January 5, 1984, about the Jubilee, which stated the following:
“As Jesus told of the happy new year that all might enjoy, there seems little doubt that His congregation would have recognized the importance of that particular Sabbath. A number of commentators agree that it must have been a great Sabbath. In that year the Day of Atonement probably matched the seventh-day Sabbath. The passage He read from Isaiah had double significance. First it called attention to the Day of Atonement, then to the year of jubilee that always began on the Day of Atonement.”
Some years ago, the last time that I visited the synagogue the Rabbi gave me full access to the library. I spent a full afternoon researching the topic of the Sabbatical and the Jubilee years. Because of my limited time and the distance I live from the synagogue, I asked if he could guide me, as to which books would give me the information I needed for my study. He emphatically stated, “It's the SABBATH! That's important. Of course, I agreed with him.
He, then, directed me to the locations in the ancient writings that would address this topic, and graciously provided photocopies of the pages that I wanted to take with me.
The following statement is one that I found in these ancient writings that I think you might, also find very interesting.
“Elijah told Judah, the brother of Sala Hasida, 'The world will endure not less than 85 Jubilees, and on the last Jubilee the Son of David will come.” (Sanh.97b) from the book, Sabbatical Year and Jubilee, p. 581-582 (Jewish Synagogue Library)
(No one knows how long the earth endured from the creation of the world until man fell into sin, but it couldn't have been much over the time of two Jubilees (a period of 98 years), as Adam's third son was born when Adam was one hundred and thirty years old (Genesis 5:3) and Abel had just been killed by Cain. From the entrance of sin until 27 C.E. when Jesus started His public ministry, could have been about 4067 years or 83 Jubilee cycles, which consequently would have been 85 Jubilee's after creation, fitting exactly the prophecy of Elijah.)
In these same ancient Hebrew writings is stated,
“The sages ... reckoned the historical order and the end of time by Sabbatical Years and Jubilees.” from the book, Sabbatical Year and Jubilee, p. 581 (Jewish Synagogue Library)
“Israel counted 17 Jubilees from the time they entered the land to the time they left it” (Ar. 12b). from the book, Sabbatical Year and Jubilee, p. 581 (Jewish Synagogue Library)
Josephus, the first century Jewish historian, in the book “JOSEPHUS COMPLETE WORKS”, p. 706, begins his list of the ancient Jubilee years with the year, “1787-1786 B.C.E.” and ends the list with his last recorded Jubilee year of “27-28 C.E.”.
There is a striking parallel between the ministry of Elijah, the prophet, in ancient history and the future antitypical Jubilee, "the day of vengeance of our God,.." Isaiah 61:1, 2
This Jubilee, “the day of vengeance of our God,” was illustrated by the experience of Elijah, the prophet, in his three and one-half year ministry culminating on Mt. Carmel where Elijah dealt with the priests of Baal, who had led God's people into apostasy. This was just before the time of the appearance of the small cloud, the size of a man's hand, representing the second coming of Jesus.
“And it came to pass at the seventh time, that he said, Behold, there ariseth a little cloud out of the sea, like a man's hand.” 1 Kings 18:44.
“Soon there appears in the east a small black cloud, about half the size of a man's hand. It is the cloud which surrounds the Saviour, and which seems in the distance to be shrouded in darkness. The people of God know this to be the sign of the Son of man.” GC 640 E.G. White
The prophecy of Malachi 4:5 ties Elijah's coming again to the "great and dreadful day of the Lord."
"Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD:" Malachi 4:5
"Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord" (Malachi 4:5). Somebody is to come in the spirit and power of Elijah, and when he appears, men may say, "You are too earnest, you do not interpret the Scriptures in the proper way. Let me tell you how to teach your message." 1SM 412.2

Yes, just an amazing parallel between Elijah's ministry of 3 and ½ years of no dew or rain, and the prophets in Revelation that “have power to shut heaven, that it rain not in the days of their prophecy:” Revelation 11:6.
As you read Prophets and Kings, p. 114 and onward, please compare the statements in Maranatha, 290, GC 609, EW 283, etc.
As the story of Elijah begins, Israel, the people of God, have been led into deep apostasy by the leaders.
“Viewing this apostasy from his mountain retreat, Elijah was overwhelmed with sorrow. In anguish of soul he besought God to arrest the once-favored people in their wicked course, to visit them with judgments, if need be... Elijah's prayer was answered.” PK 120
After delivering the message from heaven to Ahab, he disappeared as abruptly as he had come. The Lord directed him exactly where to hide in the wilderness. Immediately there is a death decree announced if he can be found.
The king searched for him, even internationally.
“Many rulers had given their oath of honor that the strange prophet could not be found in their dominions.” PK 137
During the famine God is providing Elijah's sustenance, eventually sending him to the widow woman.
“And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days.” Revelation 12:6.
Notice the time period is the same—Elijah's 3 and ½ years, and the flight of the woman into the wilderness for 1260 days. She flees into the wilderness until the time of the deliverance when at midnight God delivers them at the commencement of the Jubilee. See EW 285, 286.
Elijah depended on the supernatural power that he was promised when he initiated the “showdown” on Mount Carmel.
“The people prepared to assemble at the appointed time.” PK 143. See GC 635.
Elijah is the only one standing for God as he presents before them their final decision-- “If the Lord be God, follow Him: but if Baal, then follow him.”
“The people answer him not a word. Not one in that vast assembly dare reveal loyalty to Jehovah.” PK 147
When the fire flashes from heaven and consumes the sacrifice, --”it resembles the pillar of fire which at the Red Sea separated the children of Israel from the Egyptian host.” PK 153
Compare Isaiah 4:5, 6.
“And the LORD will create upon every dwelling place of mount Zion, and upon her assemblies, a cloud and smoke by day, and the shining of a flaming fire by night: for upon all the glory [shall be] a defence. And there shall be a tabernacle for a shadow in the daytime from the heat, and for a place of refuge, and for a covert from storm and from rain.”
These are the precious promises of protection for God's people during the time of trouble.
An interesting point to take note of is, that Elijah is translated to heaven without seeing death shortly after the Mt. Carmel experience, symbolic of the translation of the living saints, the 144,000 , some time after the commencement of the Sabbath Jubilee.
I had a couple more statements from the Spirit of Prophecy that confirm the parallel of Elijah with those living at the end of time, the 144,000.
“The prophet Malachi declares, "Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord; and he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers." Here the prophet describes the character of the work. Those who are to prepare the way for the second coming of Christ, are represented by faithful Elijah, as John came in the spirit of Elijah to prepare the way for Christ's first advent.” CD 71
“Elijah was a type of the saints who will be living on the earth at the time of the second advent of Christ and who will be “changed, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump,” without tasting of death. 1 Corinthians 15:51, 52. It was as a representative of those who shall be thus translated that Elijah, near the close of Christ’s earthly ministry, was permitted to stand with Moses by the side of the Saviour on the mount of transfiguration.” Heaven 102
“Elijah, who had been translated to heaven without seeing death, represented those who will be living upon the earth at Christ’s second coming, and who will be “changed, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump;” when “this mortal must put on immortality,” and “this corruptible must put on incorruption.” 1 Corinthians 15:51-53” Heaven 103

Re: LOCATING GOD'S ANCIENT JUBILEE CYCLE
by JOHNN » Mon Dec 05, 2011 5:44 pm
There are six more points that are crucial to understanding the great significance of the anti-typical Jubilee. In this post we will be dealing with the first of these six.
FIRST:
The first point that we need to know is that there are 7 different kinds of “Sabbaths” revealed in God's plan of salvation, all found in Leviticus 23 to 25 KJV.
At first glance this list may appear confusing. Please bear in mind the vision of Ezekiel (Ezekiel 1:16) in which he saw a wheel turning within a wheel, showing the perfect synchronization of all God's designs.
The brightest of these Sabbaths is the Holy 7th day Sabbath, calculated by the sun, while the other six are “shadows” or prophecies of the 7th day Sabbath. These are calculated by the new moon.
To name these seven kinds of Sabbaths, then, we begin with the Holy 7th day Sabbath, the 12 annual “shadow” Sabbaths dispersed among the various feast days, the Sabbath of “shadow” Sabbath days, (Leviticus 23:15, 16) (7 X 7) the 49th day in the count from Wave Sheaf to Pentecost, the Sabbath month which ends the sacred year and in which all the closing events are illustrated, the Sabbath year, (Leviticus 25:2-4) also called the year of release in which a certain class of Hebrew slaves were set free (Deuteronomy 15:1, 9), and the Sabbath of Sabbath years (Leviticus 25:8) the 49th year, the year preceding the Jubilee year, and the Sabbath millennium which begins at the voice of God giving the day and hour of the second coming of Christ, when the anti-typical Jubilee commences.
We will examine the meaning and the significance of each one of these different kinds of Sabbaths and the place they hold in the anti-typical fulfillment of God's plan of salvation.
THE HOLY SEVENTH-DAY SABBATH (WEEKLY):
“The Sabbath was committed to Adam,...Thus the institution was wholly commemorative, and given to all mankind. There was nothing in it shadowy or of restricted application to any people.” PP 48
The seventh-day Sabbath is the very hub from which all of the other types of Sabbaths emanate and receive their glory. The seventh-day Sabbath is calculated from the cycle of the sun alone, whereas, all the other types of Sabbaths are calculated from the cycle of the moon, aided by the sun. Therefore, the seventh-day Sabbath shines the brightest of them all, just as the sun shines brighter than the moon.
The seventh-day Sabbath is not a prophecy, a type, or a shadow, whereas all the other 6 different kinds of Sabbaths are a prophecy, a type, and a shadow of the seventh-day Sabbath. In the same way as the sun is the originator of light, and the moon is only a reflector of that light, so these “shadowy” Sabbaths calculated from the moon, only reflect the light of the 7th-day Sabbath calculated by the sun.
“The Sabbath was committed to Adam,...Thus the institution was wholly commemorative, and given to all mankind. There was nothing in it shadowy or of restricted application to any people.” PP 48
“Without the death of Christ all this system (earthly sanctuary system) was meaningless. The Jews reject Christ, and therefore their whole system of religion is to them indefinite, unexplainable, and uncertain. They attach as much importance to shadowy ceremonies of types which have met their antitype as they do to the law of the ten commandments, which was not a shadow, but a reality as enduring as the throne of Jehovah.” RH May 6, 1875
“Speak thou also unto the children of Israel, saying, Verily my Sabbaths ye shall keep: for it [is] a sign between me and you throughout your generations; that [ye] may know that I [am] the LORD that doth sanctify you.... It [is] a sign between me and the children of Israel for ever: for [in] six days the LORD made heaven and earth, and on the seventh day he rested, and was refreshed.” Exodus 31:13, 17.
“And I gave them my statutes, and showed them my judgments, which [if] a man do, he shall even live in them. Moreover also I gave them my Sabbaths, to be a sign between me and them, that they might know that I [am] the LORD that sanctify them.” Ezekiel 20:11,12.
“ I [am] the LORD your God; walk in my statutes, and keep my judgments, and do them; And hallow my Sabbaths; and they shall be a sign between me and you, that ye may know that I [am] the LORD your God.” Ezekiel 20:19, 20.
“For if Jesus had given them rest, then would he not afterward have spoken of another day. There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God. For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God [did] from his. Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief.” Hebrews 4:9-11.
“And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made. And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made.” Genesis 2:2,3.
“Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: But the seventh day [is] the Sabbath of the LORD thy God: [in it] thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that [is] within thy gates: For [in] six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them [is], and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the Sabbath day, and hallowed it.” Exodus 20:8-11.
THE 12 ANNUAL (SHADOWY) SABBATHS:
God designed the entire Jewish economy, in such a way that both the events of the great plan of salvation, and the exact timing of these events were typified in the ritual round of ceremonies, which took a period of fifty years to complete, and then, began all over again. Within this ritual system there is a prophetic code which can easily be deciphered with the aid of the Holy Spirit, by any sincere and devoted Bible student. But one must pay close attention to all the intricate details of these rituals, using a literal translation like the King James Version of the Holy Bible, Young's Literal Translation, or the 1599 Geneva Bible.
There are exactly 12 annual (shadowy) Sabbaths listed in Leviticus 23-25 KJV, with 8 of these outlined within the spring feasts, and calculated from the first new moon after the spring equinox, according to the ancient Hebrew calendar, Hillel I, and the remaining 4, within the fall feasts, calculated from the seventh new moon, the month of the harvest feasts.
These “shadowy Sabbaths” are, in verity, the prophetic code one must use to understand the precise timing of the plan which God gave to Moses, and it is this same code, that the Messiah revealed to His disciples in His teaching and in His fulfillment of the types at His first advent, that unlocks for future generations the timing of the types relating to His second advent.
The annual “shadowy” Sabbaths are calculated from the new moon, and occur in an exact seven-day sequence, as does the seventh-day Sabbath. All annual shadowy Sabbaths are calculated from only two of the new moons of the sacred year, the first new moon, and the seventh or last new moon, even though some of the annual “shadowy Sabbaths” extend through the second month and into the third month of the sacred year.
In Leviticus 23 (KJV) some of these annual feasts are specified as “Sabbaths”, “holy convocations”, and days of “no servile work”. Others are described as days of “holy convocations” and days of “no servile work”. Each has a distinctive meaning. “Sabbath” means “Sabbath”; “holy convocation” means only, a “holy convocation”; and no “servile work” means only, “no servile work”. The “Sabbath” is a “holy convocation”, but a “holy convocation” is not necessarily a “Sabbath”. For example, Wednesday prayer meeting is a “holy convocation”, but it is not a “Sabbath”, and it is not a day of “no servile work”. There are only two feast days with the requirement of absolutely no work whatsoever. These two days are, the seventh-day Sabbath and the Day of Atonement.
To illustrate, let us look at God's specifications for the Day of Pentecost in Leviticus 23:15-21 KJV. One can clearly see that Pentecost is required to come the day after the seventh Sabbath counting from the Wave Sheaf offering, Wave Sheaf being the second day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread; Pentecost is specified to be a “holy convocation” and, also, a “day of no servile work”, but, it is not a Sabbath.
“And ye shall count unto you from the morrow after the Sabbath, from the day that ye brought the sheaf of the wave offering; seven Sabbaths shall be complete: (16) Even unto the morrow after the seventh Sabbath shall ye number fifty days;....(21) And ye shall proclaim on the selfsame day, that it may be an holy convocation unto you: ye shall do no servile work therein: it shall be a statute for ever in all your dwellings throughout your generations.” Leviticus 23: 15-21 KJV.
Therefore, the Day of Pentecost falls on the day AFTER the seventh Sabbath counting from the day of the Wave Sheaf offering which is the 16th day of the first month.
These Sabbaths, eight of which are mentioned in the verses above (Lev. 23:15-21), are all “shadowy” Sabbaths, and described in Colossians 2: 16, 17 (KJV), as … “shadows of things to come”. They follow their own seven-day cycle beginning on the new moon of the first and the seventh month only, of the sacred year, although some of them extend through the second month and into the third month, as stated above. The purpose for these “shadowy” Sabbaths dispersed within the feast days, which are besides the seventh-day Sabbath, (Lev. 23:37, 38, Col 2:16) is to show, prophetically, exactly the days of the week, on which these feast days will ultimately meet their fulfillment, in relation to the weekly seventh-day Sabbath.
These “shadowy” Sabbaths are sometimes referred to as, “ceremonial Sabbaths”, but they, nor their purpose have been understood, as they must be. These “shadowy Sabbaths” (Colossians 2: 16, 17 KJV) are just that, shadows of seventh-day Sabbaths to come. “Shadowy Sabbaths” are prophecies of future seventh-day Sabbaths. Each type in the old sanctuary system mentioned in Leviticus 23-25 has an anti-type . These Sabbaths can, truly, be called, the “type” and seventh-day Sabbaths the “anti-type”. The inspired statement below clearly shows that there were these two different kinds of Sabbaths.
“One day as Elder Corliss stepped out of a train, the guard [conductor] stopped him with the request that he explain Colossians 2:16. They stopped, and as the crowd rushed by, the explanation was given, and from Leviticus 23:37, 38 it was shown that there were sabbaths besides the Sabbath of the Lord.” RH, January 7, 1896, by E.G. White.
FIRST:
The first point that we need to know is that there are 7 different kinds of “Sabbaths” revealed in God's plan of salvation, all found in Leviticus 23 to 25 KJV.
At first glance this list may appear confusing. Please bear in mind the vision of Ezekiel (Ezekiel 1:16) in which he saw a wheel turning within a wheel, showing the perfect synchronization of all God's designs.
The brightest of these Sabbaths is the Holy 7th day Sabbath, calculated by the sun, while the other six are “shadows” or prophecies of the 7th day Sabbath. These are calculated by the new moon.
To name these seven kinds of Sabbaths, then, we begin with the Holy 7th day Sabbath, the 12 annual “shadow” Sabbaths dispersed among the various feast days, the Sabbath of “shadow” Sabbath days, (Leviticus 23:15, 16) (7 X 7) the 49th day in the count from Wave Sheaf to Pentecost, the Sabbath month which ends the sacred year and in which all the closing events are illustrated, the Sabbath year, (Leviticus 25:2-4) also called the year of release in which a certain class of Hebrew slaves were set free (Deuteronomy 15:1, 9), and the Sabbath of Sabbath years (Leviticus 25:8) the 49th year, the year preceding the Jubilee year, and the Sabbath millennium which begins at the voice of God giving the day and hour of the second coming of Christ, when the anti-typical Jubilee commences.
We will examine the meaning and the significance of each one of these different kinds of Sabbaths and the place they hold in the anti-typical fulfillment of God's plan of salvation.
THE HOLY SEVENTH-DAY SABBATH (WEEKLY):
“The Sabbath was committed to Adam,...Thus the institution was wholly commemorative, and given to all mankind. There was nothing in it shadowy or of restricted application to any people.” PP 48
The seventh-day Sabbath is the very hub from which all of the other types of Sabbaths emanate and receive their glory. The seventh-day Sabbath is calculated from the cycle of the sun alone, whereas, all the other types of Sabbaths are calculated from the cycle of the moon, aided by the sun. Therefore, the seventh-day Sabbath shines the brightest of them all, just as the sun shines brighter than the moon.
The seventh-day Sabbath is not a prophecy, a type, or a shadow, whereas all the other 6 different kinds of Sabbaths are a prophecy, a type, and a shadow of the seventh-day Sabbath. In the same way as the sun is the originator of light, and the moon is only a reflector of that light, so these “shadowy” Sabbaths calculated from the moon, only reflect the light of the 7th-day Sabbath calculated by the sun.
“The Sabbath was committed to Adam,...Thus the institution was wholly commemorative, and given to all mankind. There was nothing in it shadowy or of restricted application to any people.” PP 48
“Without the death of Christ all this system (earthly sanctuary system) was meaningless. The Jews reject Christ, and therefore their whole system of religion is to them indefinite, unexplainable, and uncertain. They attach as much importance to shadowy ceremonies of types which have met their antitype as they do to the law of the ten commandments, which was not a shadow, but a reality as enduring as the throne of Jehovah.” RH May 6, 1875
“Speak thou also unto the children of Israel, saying, Verily my Sabbaths ye shall keep: for it [is] a sign between me and you throughout your generations; that [ye] may know that I [am] the LORD that doth sanctify you.... It [is] a sign between me and the children of Israel for ever: for [in] six days the LORD made heaven and earth, and on the seventh day he rested, and was refreshed.” Exodus 31:13, 17.
“And I gave them my statutes, and showed them my judgments, which [if] a man do, he shall even live in them. Moreover also I gave them my Sabbaths, to be a sign between me and them, that they might know that I [am] the LORD that sanctify them.” Ezekiel 20:11,12.
“ I [am] the LORD your God; walk in my statutes, and keep my judgments, and do them; And hallow my Sabbaths; and they shall be a sign between me and you, that ye may know that I [am] the LORD your God.” Ezekiel 20:19, 20.
“For if Jesus had given them rest, then would he not afterward have spoken of another day. There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God. For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God [did] from his. Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief.” Hebrews 4:9-11.
“And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made. And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made.” Genesis 2:2,3.
“Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: But the seventh day [is] the Sabbath of the LORD thy God: [in it] thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that [is] within thy gates: For [in] six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them [is], and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the Sabbath day, and hallowed it.” Exodus 20:8-11.
THE 12 ANNUAL (SHADOWY) SABBATHS:
God designed the entire Jewish economy, in such a way that both the events of the great plan of salvation, and the exact timing of these events were typified in the ritual round of ceremonies, which took a period of fifty years to complete, and then, began all over again. Within this ritual system there is a prophetic code which can easily be deciphered with the aid of the Holy Spirit, by any sincere and devoted Bible student. But one must pay close attention to all the intricate details of these rituals, using a literal translation like the King James Version of the Holy Bible, Young's Literal Translation, or the 1599 Geneva Bible.
There are exactly 12 annual (shadowy) Sabbaths listed in Leviticus 23-25 KJV, with 8 of these outlined within the spring feasts, and calculated from the first new moon after the spring equinox, according to the ancient Hebrew calendar, Hillel I, and the remaining 4, within the fall feasts, calculated from the seventh new moon, the month of the harvest feasts.
These “shadowy Sabbaths” are, in verity, the prophetic code one must use to understand the precise timing of the plan which God gave to Moses, and it is this same code, that the Messiah revealed to His disciples in His teaching and in His fulfillment of the types at His first advent, that unlocks for future generations the timing of the types relating to His second advent.
The annual “shadowy” Sabbaths are calculated from the new moon, and occur in an exact seven-day sequence, as does the seventh-day Sabbath. All annual shadowy Sabbaths are calculated from only two of the new moons of the sacred year, the first new moon, and the seventh or last new moon, even though some of the annual “shadowy Sabbaths” extend through the second month and into the third month of the sacred year.
In Leviticus 23 (KJV) some of these annual feasts are specified as “Sabbaths”, “holy convocations”, and days of “no servile work”. Others are described as days of “holy convocations” and days of “no servile work”. Each has a distinctive meaning. “Sabbath” means “Sabbath”; “holy convocation” means only, a “holy convocation”; and no “servile work” means only, “no servile work”. The “Sabbath” is a “holy convocation”, but a “holy convocation” is not necessarily a “Sabbath”. For example, Wednesday prayer meeting is a “holy convocation”, but it is not a “Sabbath”, and it is not a day of “no servile work”. There are only two feast days with the requirement of absolutely no work whatsoever. These two days are, the seventh-day Sabbath and the Day of Atonement.
To illustrate, let us look at God's specifications for the Day of Pentecost in Leviticus 23:15-21 KJV. One can clearly see that Pentecost is required to come the day after the seventh Sabbath counting from the Wave Sheaf offering, Wave Sheaf being the second day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread; Pentecost is specified to be a “holy convocation” and, also, a “day of no servile work”, but, it is not a Sabbath.
“And ye shall count unto you from the morrow after the Sabbath, from the day that ye brought the sheaf of the wave offering; seven Sabbaths shall be complete: (16) Even unto the morrow after the seventh Sabbath shall ye number fifty days;....(21) And ye shall proclaim on the selfsame day, that it may be an holy convocation unto you: ye shall do no servile work therein: it shall be a statute for ever in all your dwellings throughout your generations.” Leviticus 23: 15-21 KJV.
Therefore, the Day of Pentecost falls on the day AFTER the seventh Sabbath counting from the day of the Wave Sheaf offering which is the 16th day of the first month.
These Sabbaths, eight of which are mentioned in the verses above (Lev. 23:15-21), are all “shadowy” Sabbaths, and described in Colossians 2: 16, 17 (KJV), as … “shadows of things to come”. They follow their own seven-day cycle beginning on the new moon of the first and the seventh month only, of the sacred year, although some of them extend through the second month and into the third month, as stated above. The purpose for these “shadowy” Sabbaths dispersed within the feast days, which are besides the seventh-day Sabbath, (Lev. 23:37, 38, Col 2:16) is to show, prophetically, exactly the days of the week, on which these feast days will ultimately meet their fulfillment, in relation to the weekly seventh-day Sabbath.
These “shadowy” Sabbaths are sometimes referred to as, “ceremonial Sabbaths”, but they, nor their purpose have been understood, as they must be. These “shadowy Sabbaths” (Colossians 2: 16, 17 KJV) are just that, shadows of seventh-day Sabbaths to come. “Shadowy Sabbaths” are prophecies of future seventh-day Sabbaths. Each type in the old sanctuary system mentioned in Leviticus 23-25 has an anti-type . These Sabbaths can, truly, be called, the “type” and seventh-day Sabbaths the “anti-type”. The inspired statement below clearly shows that there were these two different kinds of Sabbaths.
“One day as Elder Corliss stepped out of a train, the guard [conductor] stopped him with the request that he explain Colossians 2:16. They stopped, and as the crowd rushed by, the explanation was given, and from Leviticus 23:37, 38 it was shown that there were sabbaths besides the Sabbath of the Lord.” RH, January 7, 1896, by E.G. White.

DAYS SPECIFIED AS SABBATHS IN THE SPRING FEASTS
USING A LITERAL TRANSLATION OF THE BIBLE LIKE THE KJV.
Eight of the shadow Sabbaths dispersed within the spring feasts are mentioned in the following verses, Leviticus 23:15, 16.
“And ye shall count unto you from the morrow after THE SABBATH, from the day that ye brought the sheaf of the wave offering; SEVEN SABBATHS shall be complete: Even unto the morrow after the SEVENTH SABBATH shall ye number fifty days;” Leviticus 23:15, 16.
The day before the Wave Sheaf, then, was to be a shadow Sabbath, along with the seven Sabbaths that are counted from the Wave Sheaf in seven-day sequences, up to the day before the Day of Pentecost, making the total of eight shadow Sabbaths in the spring feasts.
Jesus taught Moses, and later, His disciples, the prophecy that Passover occurs a day before a Sabbath and that the Wave Sheaf offering occurs “on the morrow after the Sabbath the priest shall wave it.” Leviticus 23:11 (KJV) which is the third day from Passover. To His disciples He said, “Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day.” Luke 24:46
The Passover was observed on the 14th day of the first month, the Feast of Unleavened Bread, the 15th day, a “shadow” Sabbath, and the Wave Sheaf was offered on the 16th day, the day after the “shadow” Sabbath. “...on the morrow after the sabbath the priest shall wave it.” Leviticus 23:11.
Although Josephus, the first century Jewish historian, states that the Wave Sheaf offering was always waved on the 16th day of the first month (See quotation below), we are privileged to have much more positive proof than that, in the teaching of the Messiah, as well as, His fulfillment of the Wave Sheaf offering. We also have the inspired writings of the prophet, E. G. White.
Josephus, a reknowned Pharisee; [Antiquities III, Chapter X, Paragraph 5]
"In the month of Xanthicus, which is by us called Nisan, and is the beginning of our year, on the fourteenth day of the lunar month, when the sun is in Aries, (for in this month it was that we were delivered from bondage under the Egyptians,) the law ordained that we should every year slay that sacrifice which I before told you we slew when we came out of Egypt, and which was called the Passover; and so we do celebrate this passover in companies, leaving nothing of what we sacrifice till the day following. The feast of unleavened bread succeeds that of the passover, and falls on the fifteenth day of the month, and continues seven days, wherein they feed on unleavened bread; on every one of which days two bulls are killed, and one ram, and seven lambs. Now these lambs are entirely burnt, besides the kid of the goats which is added to all the rest, for sins; for it is intended as a feast for the priest on every one of those days. But on the second day of unleavened bread, which is the sixteenth day of the month, they first partake of the fruits of the earth, for before that day they do not touch them. And while they suppose it proper to honor God, from whom they obtain this plentiful provision, in the first place, they offer the first-fruits of their barley, and that in the manner following: They take a handful of the ears, and dry them, then beat them small, and purge the barley from the bran; they then bring one tenth deal to the altar, to God; and, casting one handful of it upon the fire, they leave the rest for the use of the priest. And after this it is that they may publicly or privately reap their harvest. They also at this participation of the first-fruits of the earth, sacrifice a lamb, as a burnt-offering to God. "
BIBLE EVIDENCE:
“From that time forth began Jesus to show unto his disciples, how that he must go unto Jerusalem, and suffer many things of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised again the third day.” Matthew 16:21
“Jesus said unto them, The Son of man shall be betrayed into the hands of men: And they shall kill him, and the third day he shall be raised again. And they were exceeding sorry.” Matthew 17:22, 23
“And Jesus going up to Jerusalem took the twelve disciples apart in the way, and said unto them,
Behold, we go up to Jerusalem; and the Son of man shall be betrayed unto the chief priests and unto the scribes, and they shall condemn him to death, And shall deliver him to the Gentiles to mock, and to scourge, and to crucify [him]: and the third day he shall rise again.” Matthew 20:17-19
“For he taught his disciples, and said unto them, The Son of man is delivered into the hands of men, and they shall kill him; and after that he is killed, he shall rise the third day. But they understood not that saying, and were afraid to ask him.” Mark 9:31, 32
“And he took again the twelve, and began to tell them what things should happen unto him,
[Saying], Behold, we go up to Jerusalem; and the Son of man shall be delivered unto the chief priests, and unto the scribes; and they shall condemn him to death, and shall deliver him to the Gentiles:
And they shall mock him, and shall scourge him, and shall spit upon him, and shall kill him: and the third day he shall rise again.” Mark 10:32-34
“And he straitly charged them, and commanded [them] to tell no man that thing; Saying, The Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be slain, and be raised the third day.” Luke 9:21, 22
“And he said unto them, Go ye, and tell that fox, Behold, I cast out devils, and I do cures to day and to morrow, and the third [day] I shall be perfected” Luke 13:32
“And they shall scourge [him], and put him to death: and the third day he shall rise again.” Luke 18:33
“Saying, The Son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again. And they remembered his words,” Luke 24:7, 8
“But we trusted that it had been he which should have redeemed Israel: and beside all this, to day is the third day since these things were done..... “And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself.” Luke 24:21, 27
“And he said unto them, These [are] the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and [in] the prophets, and [in] the psalms, concerning me. Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures,
And said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day: “ Luke 24:44-46
“Christ arose from the dead as the first fruits of those that slept. He was the antitype of the wave sheaf, and His resurrection took place on the very day when the wave sheaf was to be presented before the Lord.” Desire of Ages, 785, 786
“These types were fulfilled, not only as to the event, but as to the time. On the fourteenth day of the first Jewish month, the very day and month on which, for fifteen long centuries, the passover lamb had been slain, Christ, having eaten the passover with his disciples, instituted that feast which was to commemorate his own death as “the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.” That same night he was taken by wicked hands, to be crucified and slain. And as the antitype of the wave-sheaf, our Lord was raised from the dead on the third day, “the first-fruits of them that slept,” [1 Corinthians 15:20].” GC88 399
“ In like manner, the types which relate to the second advent must be fulfilled at the time pointed out in the symbolic service. Under the Mosaic system, the cleansing of the sanctuary, or the great day of atonement, occurred on the tenth day of the seventh Jewish month, [Leviticus 16:29-34.] when the high priest, having made an atonement for all Israel, and thus removed their sins from the sanctuary, came forth and blessed the people. So it was believed that Christ, our great High Priest, would appear to purify the earth by the destruction of sin and sinners, and to bless his waiting people with immortality.” GC88 399
The ancient Hebrew calendar that was in use during the time of Christ until approximately the middle of the fourth century, observed the Wave Sheaf offering on the 16th day of the first month, which month began on the new moon after the spring equinox. This ancient calendar is known today as the Hillel I calendar. From the middle of the fourth century the Hillel II calendar was formulated and adopted by the majority of the Jews and is still in use today. Hebcal, the perpetual Hebrew calendar uses the principles of the Hillel II calendar.
There is no inspired evidence that would indicate any variation from the 16th day of the first month for the celebration of the Wave Sheaf.
THE HOLY SEVENTH-DAY SABBATH ON THE NEW MOON
INTERPRETS GOD'S MYSTERIOUS PROPHETIC CODE
1. All the feast days in the old sanctuary system were scheduled from the new moon of the first month of the sacred year, (the beginning of which was “corresponding to the last of March and the beginning of April.” PP . 537.)
Whenever the new moon, used to designate the timing of the feast days, (which would be the first and the seventh new moon, beginning the first and the seventh month of the sacred year), falls on a seventh-day Sabbath, then all the “shadowy” Sabbaths (ceremonial Sabbaths) which are calculated from that new moon, also, fall on seventh-day-Sabbaths KJV. This is God's mysterious code. It was this prophetic code that Jesus revealed to His disciples 2000 years ago, which, was later lost during the dark ages, and is only now being rediscovered by God's people.
2. This is apparently the reason God links these two significant days together, the seventh-day Sabbath and the new moon, in the new heaven and the new earth which He will create. In combination, they are the “key”, that unlocks the prophecies of Moses, as revealed in the old covenant system of Hebrew worship. (Isaiah 66:22-24.)
“For as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make, shall remain before me, saith the LORD, so shall your seed and your name remain. And it shall come to pass, [that] from one new moon to another, and from one Sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship before me, saith the LORD. And they shall go forth, and look upon the carcases of the men that have transgressed against me: for their worm shall not die, neither shall their fire be quenched; and they shall be an abhorring unto all flesh.” Isaiah 66:22-24.
“And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars:” Rev. 12:1 KJV.
THE 52 DAYS OF THE SPRING FEASTS EVERY YEAR
3. The spring feast days from Passover to Pentecost number 52 days, according to the Bible evidence (Leviticus 23:5-16, 1 Corinthians 15:4 KJV), and the main Hebrew calendars in use today. (There is no variation in the count of the days, or the manner of observance from year to year)
There is a difference, however, between the ancient Hebrew calendar, (the Hillel I), used from the time of Moses until the middle of the 4th century, approximately 354 C.E. and the more recent Hillel II calendar, used from the middle of the 4th century until today. The Hillel I calendar began the 52 days from the 14th day of the first month, and ended the count on the Day of Pentecost, (as specified in Leviticus 23) whereas, the Hillel II calendar begins the 52 days on the first day of Unleavened Bread (the 15th) and adds an extra day after the Day of Pentecost, thus maintaining the 52-day setting of the spring feasts and avoiding the possibility of another Friday Passover experience, such as occurred in 31 C.E. when Jesus fulfilled the spring feast days
The ceremonies within the spring feast days were observed unvaried every year, indicating that there was no specially designated year, from the writings of Moses, when these spring feast days would meet their fulfillment. (The prophet Daniel, however, in Daniel 9:27 says it was to occur in the midst of the 70th week of years.) This, however, was not the case for the fall feast days.
THE 22 DAYS OF THE FALL FEASTS HAVE EXTRA SPECIAL SIGNIFICANCE ONLY IN THE
SABBATICAL AND THE JUBILEE YEARS
4. Unlike the spring feasts, which were observed unvaried every year, the fall feast days, 22 literal days, had extra special ceremonies that where performed only in the Sabbatical and Jubilee years, clearly, indicating that their main fulfillment would be in these two special years.
Some of the fall feast days had extra special ceremonies in the Sabbatical year only (the year of release). The law of God was read to all, men, women, children, and the stranger during the days of the Feast of Tabernacles (Deuteronomy 31:10-16). This practice was reserved just for the Sabbatical year (the year of release).
Deuteronomy 31:10-13 KJV “And Moses commanded them, saying, At the end of [every] seven years, in the solemnity of the year of release, in the feast of tabernacles, When all Israel is come to appear before the LORD thy God in the place which he shall choose, thou shalt read this law before all Israel in their hearing. Gather the people together, men, and women, and children, and thy stranger that [is] within thy gates, that they may hear, and that they may learn, and fear the LORD your God, and observe to do all the words of this law: And [that] their children, which have not known [any thing], may hear, and learn to fear the LORD your God, as long as ye live in the land whither ye go over Jordan to possess it.)”
5. The Day of Atonement also, had extra special significance in the Sabbatical year (year of release), when certain classes of Hebrew slaves were set free (Deuteronomy 15:1, 12). This evidence shows that a fulfillment of the Day of Atonement can be expected to take place in a Sabbath year. No doubt, this is the Sabbatical year that precedes the year of Jubilee.
There are 4 “shadowy” Sabbaths in the fall feasts that must all fall on seventh-day Sabbaths in their fulfillment, and this always occurs in two consecutive years, Remember the year before the Jubilee year is always a Sabbatical year.
6. There is only one feast day that had extra special significance, in both, the Sabbatical year and in the year of Jubilee, and that fall feast day is the Day of Atonement. In the Sabbatical year a certain class of Hebrew slaves were set free (Deuteronomy 15:1, 12. PP 532).
The Day of Atonement has special significance in its fulfillment in the Sabbatical year, but its prime fulfillment was reserved for the commencement of the Jubilee. Leviticus. 25:8-10
“Then shalt thou cause the trumpet of the jubilee to sound on the tenth [day] of the seventh month, in the day of atonement shall ye make the trumpet sound throughout all your land. And ye shall hallow the fiftieth year, and proclaim liberty throughout [all] the land unto all the inhabitants thereof: it shall be a jubilee unto you;” Leviticus 25:9,10
“And [this] shall be a statute for ever unto you: [that] in the seventh month, on the tenth [day] of the month, ye shall afflict your souls, and do no work at all, [whether it be] one of your own country, or a stranger that sojourneth among you:
For on that day shall [the priest] make an atonement for you, to cleanse you, [that] ye may be clean from all your sins before the LORD.
It [shall be] a sabbath of rest unto you, and ye shall afflict your souls, by a statute for ever.” Leviticus 16:29-31
7. All other slaves waited for the Jubilee trumpet to sound on the Day of Atonement of the Jubilee year (Leviticus. 25:9,10, PP 534). The Jubilee trumpet was blown only on that special Holy day, when all slaves where set free from slavery. Jesus designed the Day of Atonement to occur on the tenth day of the seventh month, because only then, are all four of the “shadowy Sabbaths within the fall feast days, positioned to come on seventh-day Sabbaths in these two consecutive years, the very years when they have their extra special significance. Isn't that amazing!
What a holy loving mastermind is our Lord and Savior, that He would design and implement such a precise and intricate plan for the salvation of man, and that He would then share all the details of this glorious plan with His created beings, giving them insight into the mysteries of the deep things of God.

“Christ arose from the dead as the first fruits of those that slept. He was the antitype of the wave sheaf, and His resurrection took place on the very day when the wave sheaf was to be presented before the Lord.” Desire of Ages, 785, 786
“These types were fulfilled, not only as to the event, but as to the time. On the fourteenth day of the first Jewish month, the very day and month on which, for fifteen long centuries, the passover lamb had been slain, Christ, having eaten the passover with his disciples, instituted that feast which was to commemorate his own death as “the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.” That same night he was taken by wicked hands, to be crucified and slain. And as the antitype of the wave-sheaf, our Lord was raised from the dead on the third day, “the first-fruits of them that slept,” [1 Corinthians 15:20].” GC88 399
“ In like manner, the types which relate to the second advent must be fulfilled at the time pointed out in the symbolic service. Under the Mosaic system, the cleansing of the sanctuary, or the great day of atonement, occurred on the tenth day of the seventh Jewish month, [Leviticus 16:29-34.] when the high priest, having made an atonement for all Israel, and thus removed their sins from the sanctuary, came forth and blessed the people. So it was believed that Christ, our great High Priest, would appear to purify the earth by the destruction of sin and sinners, and to bless his waiting people with immortality.” GC88 399
The ancient Hebrew calendar that was in use during the time of Christ until approximately the middle of the fourth century, observed the Wave Sheaf offering on the 16th day of the first month, which month began on the new moon after the spring equinox. This ancient calendar is known today as the Hillel I calendar. From the middle of the fourth century the Hillel II calendar was formulated and adopted by the majority of the Jews and is still in use today. Hebcal, the perpetual Hebrew calendar uses the principles of the Hillel II calendar.
There is no inspired evidence that would indicate any variation from the 16th day of the first month for the celebration of the Wave Sheaf.
THE HOLY SEVENTH-DAY SABBATH ON THE NEW MOON
INTERPRETS GOD'S MYSTERIOUS PROPHETIC CODE
1. All the feast days in the old sanctuary system were scheduled from the new moon of the first month of the sacred year, (the beginning of which was “corresponding to the last of March and the beginning of April.” PP . 537.)
Whenever the new moon, used to designate the timing of the feast days, (which would be the first and the seventh new moon, beginning the first and the seventh month of the sacred year), falls on a seventh-day Sabbath, then all the “shadowy” Sabbaths (ceremonial Sabbaths) which are calculated from that new moon, also, fall on seventh-day-Sabbaths KJV. This is God's mysterious code. It was this prophetic code that Jesus revealed to His disciples 2000 years ago, which, was later lost during the dark ages, and is only now being rediscovered by God's people.
2. This is apparently the reason God links these two significant days together, the seventh-day Sabbath and the new moon, in the new heaven and the new earth which He will create. In combination, they are the “key”, that unlocks the prophecies of Moses, as revealed in the old covenant system of Hebrew worship. (Isaiah 66:22-24.)
“For as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make, shall remain before me, saith the LORD, so shall your seed and your name remain. And it shall come to pass, [that] from one new moon to another, and from one Sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship before me, saith the LORD. And they shall go forth, and look upon the carcases of the men that have transgressed against me: for their worm shall not die, neither shall their fire be quenched; and they shall be an abhorring unto all flesh.” Isaiah 66:22-24.
“And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars:” Rev. 12:1 KJV.
THE 52 DAYS OF THE SPRING FEASTS EVERY YEAR
3. The spring feast days from Passover to Pentecost number 52 days, according to the Bible evidence (Leviticus 23:5-16, 1 Corinthians 15:4 KJV), and the main Hebrew calendars in use today. (There is no variation in the count of the days, or the manner of observance from year to year)
There is a difference, however, between the ancient Hebrew calendar, (the Hillel I), used from the time of Moses until the middle of the 4th century, approximately 354 C.E. and the more recent Hillel II calendar, used from the middle of the 4th century until today. The Hillel I calendar began the 52 days from the 14th day of the first month, and ended the count on the Day of Pentecost, (as specified in Leviticus 23) whereas, the Hillel II calendar begins the 52 days on the first day of Unleavened Bread (the 15th) and adds an extra day after the Day of Pentecost, thus maintaining the 52-day setting of the spring feasts and avoiding the possibility of another Friday Passover experience, such as occurred in 31 C.E. when Jesus fulfilled the spring feast days
The ceremonies within the spring feast days were observed unvaried every year, indicating that there was no specially designated year, from the writings of Moses, when these spring feast days would meet their fulfillment. (The prophet Daniel, however, in Daniel 9:27 says it was to occur in the midst of the 70th week of years.) This, however, was not the case for the fall feast days.
THE 22 DAYS OF THE FALL FEASTS HAVE EXTRA SPECIAL SIGNIFICANCE ONLY IN THE
SABBATICAL AND THE JUBILEE YEARS
4. Unlike the spring feasts, which were observed unvaried every year, the fall feast days, 22 literal days, had extra special ceremonies that where performed only in the Sabbatical and Jubilee years, clearly, indicating that their main fulfillment would be in these two special years.
Some of the fall feast days had extra special ceremonies in the Sabbatical year only (the year of release). The law of God was read to all, men, women, children, and the stranger during the days of the Feast of Tabernacles (Deuteronomy 31:10-16). This practice was reserved just for the Sabbatical year (the year of release).
Deuteronomy 31:10-13 KJV “And Moses commanded them, saying, At the end of [every] seven years, in the solemnity of the year of release, in the feast of tabernacles, When all Israel is come to appear before the LORD thy God in the place which he shall choose, thou shalt read this law before all Israel in their hearing. Gather the people together, men, and women, and children, and thy stranger that [is] within thy gates, that they may hear, and that they may learn, and fear the LORD your God, and observe to do all the words of this law: And [that] their children, which have not known [any thing], may hear, and learn to fear the LORD your God, as long as ye live in the land whither ye go over Jordan to possess it.)”
5. The Day of Atonement also, had extra special significance in the Sabbatical year (year of release), when certain classes of Hebrew slaves were set free (Deuteronomy 15:1, 12). This evidence shows that a fulfillment of the Day of Atonement can be expected to take place in a Sabbath year. No doubt, this is the Sabbatical year that precedes the year of Jubilee.
There are 4 “shadowy” Sabbaths in the fall feasts that must all fall on seventh-day Sabbaths in their fulfillment, and this always occurs in two consecutive years, Remember the year before the Jubilee year is always a Sabbatical year.
6. There is only one feast day that had extra special significance, in both, the Sabbatical year and in the year of Jubilee, and that fall feast day is the Day of Atonement. In the Sabbatical year a certain class of Hebrew slaves were set free (Deuteronomy 15:1, 12. PP 532).
The Day of Atonement has special significance in its fulfillment in the Sabbatical year, but its prime fulfillment was reserved for the commencement of the Jubilee. Leviticus. 25:8-10
“Then shalt thou cause the trumpet of the jubilee to sound on the tenth [day] of the seventh month, in the day of atonement shall ye make the trumpet sound throughout all your land. And ye shall hallow the fiftieth year, and proclaim liberty throughout [all] the land unto all the inhabitants thereof: it shall be a jubilee unto you;” Leviticus 25:9,10
“And [this] shall be a statute for ever unto you: [that] in the seventh month, on the tenth [day] of the month, ye shall afflict your souls, and do no work at all, [whether it be] one of your own country, or a stranger that sojourneth among you:
For on that day shall [the priest] make an atonement for you, to cleanse you, [that] ye may be clean from all your sins before the LORD.
It [shall be] a sabbath of rest unto you, and ye shall afflict your souls, by a statute for ever.” Leviticus 16:29-31
7. All other slaves waited for the Jubilee trumpet to sound on the Day of Atonement of the Jubilee year (Leviticus. 25:9,10, PP 534). The Jubilee trumpet was blown only on that special Holy day, when all slaves where set free from slavery. Jesus designed the Day of Atonement to occur on the tenth day of the seventh month, because only then, are all four of the “shadowy Sabbaths within the fall feast days, positioned to come on seventh-day Sabbaths in these two consecutive years, the very years when they have their extra special significance. Isn't that amazing!
What a holy loving mastermind is our Lord and Savior, that He would design and implement such a precise and intricate plan for the salvation of man, and that He would then share all the details of this glorious plan with His created beings, giving them insight into the mysteries of the deep things of God.

THE ANCIENT HEBREW CALENDAR
AND THE HILLEL II CALENDAR
The main Orthodox Jewish calendar in use today, Hillel II, abides by the exact reckoning of a 52-day period and a 22-day period for the seven annual feasts. This principle is maintained from the ancient Hebrew calendar (Hillel I) used in Old Testament times until the middle of the fourth century C.E. when the Hillel II calendar was adopted.
The differences between the ancient Hebrew calendar (Hillel I) and the Hillel II calendar are as follows:
1. The ancient Hebrew calendar begins the sacred year on the first new moon after the spring equinox (in order to have ripe barley for the Wave Sheaf offering on the 16th), while the Hillel II calendar begins the first month with the new moon nearest the spring equinox.
2. In the Hillel II calendar, the first of the eight days of Passover will always begin on the 15th day, which is the first day of Unleavened Bread, and an extra day is added after the Day of Pentecost in order to maintain the 52-day count of the spring feast days. See Hebcal, the main Hebrew calendar (Hillel II).
The two methods used by both calendars, the Hillel I and Hillel II, in determining the day that will be considered the first day of the month, are, the night of the conjunction of the new moon, or the first sighting of the sliver. Either method is used, if by its use, the first day of the month would fall on a Holy 7th day Sabbath, resulting in all the “shadow Sabbaths” that are scheduled by that new moon, also falling on Holy 7th day Sabbaths.
This holds true for the 8 “shadow Sabbaths” found within the 52 days of the spring feasts calculated from the first new moon (from the Passover to the day of Pentecost), as well as for the 3 “shadow Sabbaths”, found within the 22 days of the fall feasts. The Day of Atonement must fall on a Monday that year, and on a Holy 7th day Sabbath the very next year, in order to fit the future anti-type of the 49th and 50th years.
If by using either method, the conjunction of the new moon or the first sighting of the sliver, the new moon would fall on a Thursday in the seventh month, then that method would be used so that the Day of Atonement would fall on a 7th day Sabbath, ten days later. This scheduling would be needed for the final fulfillment in the Jubilee year.
Often, however, the new moon of the seventh month occurs on other days of the week than Thursday or the 7th day Sabbath, in that case none of the “shadow” Sabbath would fall on a 7th day Sabbath in the feasts of the seventh month that year.
If the new moon, the first day of any month, is first sighted during the daylight hours, the night following could be considered the new moon since the moon was created to rule the night.
On the other hand, if the conjunction of the new moon occurs during the dark part of the 7th day Sabbath, then the conjunction would be taken for the new moon.
Or if the conjunction of the new moon of the seventh month occurs during the dark part of Thursday, so that the Day of Atonement would fall on a 7th day Sabbath, then the conjunction of the moon would be taken as the new moon, as mentioned above.
This use of these methods is made very evident by a comparison of the new moon of the 7th month in the year 27 C.E., with the new moon of the first month of the sacred year of 31 C.E.
In the year 27 C.E. the conjunction of the moon, which had occurred during the dark part of Thursday, September 18, was taken as the first day of the seventh month, resulting in the Day of Atonement falling on a 7th-day Sabbath, September 27.
In the year 31 C.E. the first sighting of the moon was taken as the first day of the first month, as this first sighting occurred during the daylight hours of Friday the 13th of April. The following night, the dark part of the 7th day Sabbath was taken as the new moon, (which would begin Friday at sunset ).
Evidence can be seen that this same method is used today in the Hillel II calendar by examining the schedule of the fall feasts for the year 2028. The new moon sliver for the seventh month, Thursday, September 21, a fairly large sliver, will be identical in size compared to the new moon sliver for the first month of 31 C.E. In 2028 the Day of Atonement will occur on September 30, a 7th-day Sabbath.
The new moon in the year 31 C.E. occurred on the Holy 7th day Sabbath, as did all eight of the “shadow” Sabbaths dispersed among the feast days from the Passover to the Day of Pentecost, with the Passover occurring on Friday, April 27 that year, and the Wave Sheaf offering falling on Sunday, the 29th of April.
As in the year 27 C.E. when the conjunction of the new moon was taken for the first day of the seventh month, so in modern times the Hillel II calendar (the perpetual Hebrew calendar), scheduled the first day of the 7th month by using the conjunction of the new moon, which occurred on the dark part of Thursday the 24th of September in the year, 1987, thus the Day of Atonement fell on October 3, a Holy 7th day Sabbath that year.
Since there would not have been ripe barley for the Wave Sheaf offering in the year 1844 when scheduling the feast according to the Hillel II calendar, early Adventists calculated the feast days by using the ancient Hebrew reckoning (Hillel I), causing the Day of Atonement to fall on Tuesday, October 22, 1844, instead of on Monday, September 23 (according to the Hillel II calendar). There must be ripe barley for the Wave Sheaf offering on the 16th day of the first Hebrew month.
This is the reason the ancient Hebrew calendar should be used today. Actually, these two calendars agree about half of the time for the fall feast days, and they are in agreement on the extremely rare, four perfect sets of Sabbath alignments within the fall feasts in the 49th and 50th years, that only occur now in our time, all at the end of the 6 thousand years. This is amazing, absolutely amazing.
A DETAILED RECAP OF THE SHADOWY SABBATHS
Many have wrongly classified all seven of the annual feasts (1) Passover, (2) Week of Unleavened Bread, (3) Wave Sheaf (4) Day of Pentecost, (5) Feasts of Trumpets, (6) Day of Atonement, (7) Feast of Tabernacles as “shadowy Sabbaths”, rather than accepting the plainly illustrated teachings of our Lord to Moses, where He actually specifies precisely, which feast days are the “shadowy Sabbaths”, and which are not.
However, one must use a literal translation, like the KJV of the Bible, the 1599 Geneva Bible or Young's Literal Translation. Satan has led in the creation of many different versions of the Bible to confuse the minds of men, and to keep them from understanding the glorious plan that God has revealed through these “shadowy” Sabbaths.
Many false under Shepherds behind the pulpits in the Churches of today exalt their own ideas (which in many cases are deliberate deception, but in some cases are just plain ignorance, the blind leading the blind) above the plain Holy Word of God, by changing the timing of the “shadowy” Sabbaths, so that no one can make rhyme or reason out of their meaning. All must search the Scriptures for themselves or be deceived by Satan and his agents.
DAYS SPECIFIED AS SABBATHS IN THE SPRING FEASTS
USING A LITERAL TRANSLATION OF THE BIBLE LIKE THE KJV.
There are eight days specifically designated as “Sabbaths” in the 52 days from Passover, the 14th day of the first sacred month, to the Day of Pentecost, the 50th day from the Wave Sheaf offering. The 15th day, the first day of the feast of Unleavened Bread, is the first of these eight Sabbaths. All eight of these Sabbaths occur in a seven-day sequence and all are calculated only from the first month (new moon of spring) even though these Sabbaths extend through the second month and into the third. These “shadow” Sabbaths are the type of which the seventh-day Sabbath is the anti-type.
(A) The day after Passover, the 15th day which is the first day of the 7 days of Unleavened Bread—the day before Wave Sheaf—Wave Sheaf always occurred on the 16th day which was the second day of the 7 days of Unleavened Bread (and the third day from Passover,) this makes the first day of the 7 days of Unleavened Bread a Sabbath. The result of this, is that the Wave Sheaf always occurs on the morrow after the Sabbath (shadowy Sabbath).
Leviticus 23:11- "And he shall wave the sheaf before the LORD, to be accepted for you: on the morrow after the sabbath the priest shall wave it."
Jesus taught Moses, and later, His disciples, the prophecy that Passover occurs a day before a Sabbath and that the Wave Sheaf offering occurs on the third day from Passover, “on the morrow after the Sabbath the priest shall wave it.” Leviticus 23:11 KJV. To His disciples He said, “Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day.” Luke 24:46
“...and that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:” 1 Corinthians 15:4 KJV
Jesus was the first fruits and His resurrection took place on the very day that the Wave Sheaf offering was waved before the Lord.
“Christ arose from the dead as the first fruits of those that slept. He was the antitype of the wave sheaf, and His resurrection took place on the very day when the wave sheaf was to be presented before the Lord.” FLB 180.2
Whenever the “shadowy” Sabbath comes on the seventh-day Sabbath, it is termed an “high day”. In 31 C.E., the day after Passover was a seventh-day Sabbath.
“The Jews therefore, because it was the preparation, that the bodies should not remain upon the cross on the Sabbath day, (for that Sabbath day was an high day,)” John 19:31 KJV
(B) The day after the 7th day of Unleavened Bread, is the first Sabbath in the seven Sabbath count to the day before the Day of Pentecost. This is clearly seen in the following text.
Leviticus 23:15, 16- “And ye shall count unto you from the morrow after the Sabbath, from the day that ye brought the sheaf of the wave offering; seven Sabbaths shall be complete: Even unto the morrow after the seventh Sabbath shall ye number fifty days;”
From this evidence, we can see that Passover comes one day before a “shadowy” Sabbath, Wave Sheaf comes one day after a “shadowy” Sabbath, the seventh day of Unleavened Bread comes one day before a “shadowy” Sabbath and the Day of Pentecost comes one day after a “shadowy” Sabbath.
From God's teaching to Moses in Leviticus, the Day of Pentecost, the last spring feast, comes on the morrow after the seventh “shadowy” Sabbath. In 31 C.E. this feast day met fulfillment on the appointed day, on the “morrow” after the seventh “shadowy” Sabbath, and also, on the “morrow” after a seventh-day Sabbath that year, the type occurred on the anti-type. This event, the Day of Pentecost, is historically recognized as occurring on a Sunday.
“And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.” Act 2:1, 2 KJV
In the fulfillment of the spring feasts, in the year of Jesus' crucifixion, this is exactly where the “shadowy” Sabbaths fell within the weekly cycle of days, all 8 of them fell on seventh-day-Sabbaths that year.
“These types were fulfilled, not only as to the event, but as to the time. On the fourteenth day of the first Jewish month, the very day and month on which, for fifteen long centuries, the passover lamb had been slain, Christ, having eaten the passover with his disciples, instituted that feast which was to commemorate his own death as “the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.” That same night he was taken by wicked hands, to be crucified and slain. And as the antitype of the wave-sheaf, our Lord was raised from the dead on the third day, “the first-fruits of them that slept,” [1 Corinthians 15:20.] a sample of all the resurrected just, whose “vile body” shall be changed, and “fashioned like unto his glorious body.” [Philippians 3:21.] GC 399. E.G. White
“In like manner, the types which relate to the second advent must be fulfilled at the time pointed out in the symbolic service.” GC 399. E.G. White
DAYS SPECIFIED AS SABBATHS IN THE FALL FEASTS
USING A LITERAL TRANSLATION OF THE BIBLE LIKE THE KJV.
1 Feast of Trumpets ….Leviticus 23:24..................... A SHADOWY SABBATH
2. Day of Atonement …..Leviticus 23:27 …................. A SHADOWY SABBATH
3. 1st day of Feast of Tabernacles Leviticus 23:34 …..... A SHADOWY SABBATH
4. 8th day of Feast of Tabernacles Leviticus 23:36 …..... A SHADOWY SABBATH
“...In the seventh month, in the first [day] of the month, shall ye have a Sabbath,” Leviticus 23:24 “Also on the tenth [day] of this seventh month... It [shall be] unto you a Sabbath of rest,” 27 “...The fifteenth day of this seventh month...on the first day [shall be] a Sabbath, and on the eighth day [shall be] a Sabbath.” 34, 36
The surface reader will assume that the four “shadow” Sabbaths within the 22 days of the fall feasts, cannot all occur on seventh-day Sabbaths in the fulfillment, because the Day of Atonement is on the 10th day of the month, the honest reply can be made, that it is only because it falls on the 10th day that it can come on the seventh-day Sabbath.
There are many mysteries revealed in the four “shadowy” Sabbaths of the fall feasts. To unlock their prophetic significance, one needs to search out other pieces of evidence directly related to these Sabbaths, which are also revealed in the Holy Scriptures.
1. One of these mysteries is that the Day of Atonement occurs on the 10th day of the month, if it occurred on any other day it could not fulfill its prophetic Sabbath role in the Jubilee year, which is the year of its prime fulfillment. Always remember the prime fulfillment of the Day of Atonement is in the year of Jubilee. Leviticus 25:8-10.
2. Another mystery of the fall feasts is that the Feast of Tabernacles has its prime fulfillment only in the Sabbatical year (Deuteronomy 31:10-16).
3. The year just before the year of Jubilee is a Sabbatical year. This is the reason that the Day of Atonement falls on the 10th day of the seventh month. For it is only then, that all the shadowy Sabbaths in the fall feast days can be fulfilled on seventh-day Sabbaths, in the year of their prime fulfillment’s.
Whenever three “shadowy Sabbaths” in the fall feast days fall on the seventh-day Sabbath, the fourth “shadowy Sabbath”, the Day of Atonement, always falls on the seventh-day Sabbath, the very next year. To repeat again, in this way all of the “shadowy” Sabbaths in the fall feast days, actually occur on seventh-day Sabbaths in the year of their prime fulfillment the 49th and 50th years (the Sabbatical year and the year of Jubilee.)
What an amazing phenomena to behold, an obvious illustration of the genius ability of the author and designer, who is none other, than, our Lord Jesus Christ. This could only have been designed by a mastermind.
AND THE HILLEL II CALENDAR
The main Orthodox Jewish calendar in use today, Hillel II, abides by the exact reckoning of a 52-day period and a 22-day period for the seven annual feasts. This principle is maintained from the ancient Hebrew calendar (Hillel I) used in Old Testament times until the middle of the fourth century C.E. when the Hillel II calendar was adopted.

2. In the Hillel II calendar, the first of the eight days of Passover will always begin on the 15th day, which is the first day of Unleavened Bread, and an extra day is added after the Day of Pentecost in order to maintain the 52-day count of the spring feast days. See Hebcal, the main Hebrew calendar (Hillel II).
The two methods used by both calendars, the Hillel I and Hillel II, in determining the day that will be considered the first day of the month, are, the night of the conjunction of the new moon, or the first sighting of the sliver. Either method is used, if by its use, the first day of the month would fall on a Holy 7th day Sabbath, resulting in all the “shadow Sabbaths” that are scheduled by that new moon, also falling on Holy 7th day Sabbaths.

The following night, the dark part of the 7th day Sabbath was taken as the new moon, (which would begin Friday at sunset ).

All must search the Scriptures for themselves or be deceived by Satan and his agents.
DAYS SPECIFIED AS SABBATHS IN THE SPRING FEASTS
USING A LITERAL TRANSLATION OF THE BIBLE LIKE THE KJV.
There are eight days specifically designated as “Sabbaths” in the 52 days from Passover, the 14th day of the first sacred month, to the Day of Pentecost, the 50th day from the Wave Sheaf offering. The 15th day, the first day of the feast of Unleavened Bread, is the first of these eight Sabbaths. All eight of these Sabbaths occur in a seven-day sequence and all are calculated only from the first month (new moon of spring) even though these Sabbaths extend through the second month and into the third. These “shadow” Sabbaths are the type of which the seventh-day Sabbath is the anti-type.
(A) The day after Passover, the 15th day which is the first day of the 7 days of Unleavened Bread—the day before Wave Sheaf—Wave Sheaf always occurred on the 16th day which was the second day of the 7 days of Unleavened Bread (and the third day from Passover,) this makes the first day of the 7 days of Unleavened Bread a Sabbath. The result of this, is that the Wave Sheaf always occurs on the morrow after the Sabbath (shadowy Sabbath).
Leviticus 23:11- "And he shall wave the sheaf before the LORD, to be accepted for you: on the morrow after the sabbath the priest shall wave it."
Jesus taught Moses, and later, His disciples, the prophecy that Passover occurs a day before a Sabbath and that the Wave Sheaf offering occurs on the third day from Passover, “on the morrow after the Sabbath the priest shall wave it.” Leviticus 23:11 KJV. To His disciples He said, “Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day.” Luke 24:46
“...and that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:” 1 Corinthians 15:4 KJV
Jesus was the first fruits and His resurrection took place on the very day that the Wave Sheaf offering was waved before the Lord.
“Christ arose from the dead as the first fruits of those that slept. He was the antitype of the wave sheaf, and His resurrection took place on the very day when the wave sheaf was to be presented before the Lord.” FLB 180.2
Whenever the “shadowy” Sabbath comes on the seventh-day Sabbath, it is termed an “high day”. In 31 C.E., the day after Passover was a seventh-day Sabbath.
“The Jews therefore, because it was the preparation, that the bodies should not remain upon the cross on the Sabbath day, (for that Sabbath day was an high day,)” John 19:31 KJV
(B) The day after the 7th day of Unleavened Bread, is the first Sabbath in the seven Sabbath count to the day before the Day of Pentecost. This is clearly seen in the following text.
Leviticus 23:15, 16- “And ye shall count unto you from the morrow after the Sabbath, from the day that ye brought the sheaf of the wave offering; seven Sabbaths shall be complete: Even unto the morrow after the seventh Sabbath shall ye number fifty days;”
From this evidence, we can see that Passover comes one day before a “shadowy” Sabbath, Wave Sheaf comes one day after a “shadowy” Sabbath, the seventh day of Unleavened Bread comes one day before a “shadowy” Sabbath and the Day of Pentecost comes one day after a “shadowy” Sabbath.
From God's teaching to Moses in Leviticus, the Day of Pentecost, the last spring feast, comes on the morrow after the seventh “shadowy” Sabbath. In 31 C.E. this feast day met fulfillment on the appointed day, on the “morrow” after the seventh “shadowy” Sabbath, and also, on the “morrow” after a seventh-day Sabbath that year, the type occurred on the anti-type. This event, the Day of Pentecost, is historically recognized as occurring on a Sunday.
“And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.” Act 2:1, 2 KJV
In the fulfillment of the spring feasts, in the year of Jesus' crucifixion, this is exactly where the “shadowy” Sabbaths fell within the weekly cycle of days, all 8 of them fell on seventh-day-Sabbaths that year.
“These types were fulfilled, not only as to the event, but as to the time. On the fourteenth day of the first Jewish month, the very day and month on which, for fifteen long centuries, the passover lamb had been slain, Christ, having eaten the passover with his disciples, instituted that feast which was to commemorate his own death as “the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.” That same night he was taken by wicked hands, to be crucified and slain. And as the antitype of the wave-sheaf, our Lord was raised from the dead on the third day, “the first-fruits of them that slept,” [1 Corinthians 15:20.] a sample of all the resurrected just, whose “vile body” shall be changed, and “fashioned like unto his glorious body.” [Philippians 3:21.] GC 399. E.G. White
“In like manner, the types which relate to the second advent must be fulfilled at the time pointed out in the symbolic service.” GC 399. E.G. White
DAYS SPECIFIED AS SABBATHS IN THE FALL FEASTS
USING A LITERAL TRANSLATION OF THE BIBLE LIKE THE KJV.
1 Feast of Trumpets ….Leviticus 23:24..................... A SHADOWY SABBATH
2. Day of Atonement …..Leviticus 23:27 …................. A SHADOWY SABBATH
3. 1st day of Feast of Tabernacles Leviticus 23:34 …..... A SHADOWY SABBATH
4. 8th day of Feast of Tabernacles Leviticus 23:36 …..... A SHADOWY SABBATH
“...In the seventh month, in the first [day] of the month, shall ye have a Sabbath,” Leviticus 23:24 “Also on the tenth [day] of this seventh month... It [shall be] unto you a Sabbath of rest,” 27 “...The fifteenth day of this seventh month...on the first day [shall be] a Sabbath, and on the eighth day [shall be] a Sabbath.” 34, 36
The surface reader will assume that the four “shadow” Sabbaths within the 22 days of the fall feasts, cannot all occur on seventh-day Sabbaths in the fulfillment, because the Day of Atonement is on the 10th day of the month, the honest reply can be made, that it is only because it falls on the 10th day that it can come on the seventh-day Sabbath.
There are many mysteries revealed in the four “shadowy” Sabbaths of the fall feasts. To unlock their prophetic significance, one needs to search out other pieces of evidence directly related to these Sabbaths, which are also revealed in the Holy Scriptures.
1. One of these mysteries is that the Day of Atonement occurs on the 10th day of the month, if it occurred on any other day it could not fulfill its prophetic Sabbath role in the Jubilee year, which is the year of its prime fulfillment. Always remember the prime fulfillment of the Day of Atonement is in the year of Jubilee. Leviticus 25:8-10.
2. Another mystery of the fall feasts is that the Feast of Tabernacles has its prime fulfillment only in the Sabbatical year (Deuteronomy 31:10-16).
3. The year just before the year of Jubilee is a Sabbatical year. This is the reason that the Day of Atonement falls on the 10th day of the seventh month. For it is only then, that all the shadowy Sabbaths in the fall feast days can be fulfilled on seventh-day Sabbaths, in the year of their prime fulfillment’s.
Whenever three “shadowy Sabbaths” in the fall feast days fall on the seventh-day Sabbath, the fourth “shadowy Sabbath”, the Day of Atonement, always falls on the seventh-day Sabbath, the very next year. To repeat again, in this way all of the “shadowy” Sabbaths in the fall feast days, actually occur on seventh-day Sabbaths in the year of their prime fulfillment the 49th and 50th years (the Sabbatical year and the year of Jubilee.)
What an amazing phenomena to behold, an obvious illustration of the genius ability of the author and designer, who is none other, than, our Lord Jesus Christ. This could only have been designed by a mastermind.

PART 2:
THE 7 DIFFERENT KINDS OF SABBATHS
The first two of these Sabbaths have been discussed earlier, the seventh-day Sabbath and the annual “shadowy” (ceremonial) Sabbaths. With the remaining five, there are a total of 7 different kinds of Sabbaths brought to view in God's plan of salvation. The following statement shows us the actual meaning of the number 7.
“The number 7 indicates completeness, and is symbolic of the fact that the messages extend to the end of time” AA p. 585
(1) *SABBATH OF DAYS ..7TH-DAY-SABBATHS.............. CALCULATED BY THE SUN
(2) *SABBATH OF DAYS ..SHADOWY SABBATHS …..CALCULATED BY THE MOON
(3) *SABBATH OF WEEKS 7 SHADOWY SABBATHS. CALCULATED BY THE MOON
(4) *SABBATH OF MONTHS.. 7th MONTH FEASTS ….CALCULATED BY THE MOON
(5) *SABBATH OF YEARS …..SABBATH YEARS …............CALCULATED BY BOTH
(6) *SABBATH OF WEEKS OF YEARS ..7X7 YEARS ...CALCULATED BY THE MOON
(7) *SABBATH OF MILLENNIUMS ..1000 YEARS …............CALCULATED BY BOTH
(1)* LEV. 23:3 *(2) LEV. 23:24 *(3) LEV. 23:15,16 *(4) LEV. 23:24 *(5) LEV. 25:1-7 *(6) LEV. 25:8 *(7) 2 PETER 3:8
When all 7 of the different kinds of SABBATHS line up at one place in time, the evidence in this study will show that we will then have arrived at the end of time, THE LAST GREAT SABBATH JUBILEE.
From the time of Jesus to our time, there have been no perfect alignments of the annual “shadowy Sabbaths (with seventh-day Sabbaths) in the fall feast days, in the seventh Sabbatical and Jubilee years, when using the principles of the HI calendar ( which is the ancient Hebrew calendar). This can be seen from the information available in the calendar Hebcal (the Hillel II Hebrew calendar).
But now at the end of the six thousand years we see four distinct perfect sets of alignments in these specific years, all in our time, and then there are no more alignments of the annual “shadowy” Sabbaths (with seventh-day Sabbaths) in the fall feast days in the Sabbatical and Jubilee years, even though one looks a thousand years farther into the future, when using the principles of HI, the ancient Hebrew calendar, as you will see as we continue our study.
This data was obtained from the perpetual Hebrew Calendar (Hebcal), the Hebrew Calendar in use by the majority of the Jewish people today.
Amazingly, we see that both the ancient Hebrew calendar, HI and the Hillel II calender perfectly agree in the years of these four rare alignments.
The ancient Hebrew calendar, in use during the time of Christ, was used until the middle of the fourth century C.E., and, there has never been a Friday Passover on the 14th day since the crucifixion until today.
In the middle of the fourth century C.E., the Hillel II calendar was adopted. The first day of Passover in this calendar has always occurred on the 15th day, which is the first day of Unleavened Bread, instead of the 14th day, as is specified in the Bible. However, some classes of Jews continue using the ancient Hebrew calendar today.
THE SEVEN DIFFERENT KINDS OF SABBATHS
1. THE HOLY SEVENTH-DAY SABBATH (WEEKLY):
The seventh-day Sabbath is the very hub from which all of the other types of Sabbaths emanate and receive their glory. The seventh-day Sabbath is calculated from the cycle of the sun alone, whereas, all the other types of Sabbaths are calculated from the cycle of the moon, aided by the sun. Therefore, the seventh-day Sabbath shines the brightest of them all, just as the sun shines brighter than the moon.
The seventh-day Sabbath is not a prophecy, a type, or a shadow, whereas all the other 6 different kinds of Sabbaths are a prophecy, a type, and a shadow of the seventh-day Sabbath. In the same way as the sun is the originator of light, and the moon is only a reflector of that light, so these “shadowy” Sabbaths calculated from the moon, only reflect the light of the 7th-day Sabbath calculated by the sun.
“The Sabbath was committed to Adam,...Thus the institution was wholly commemorative, and given to all mankind. There was nothing in it shadowy or of restricted application to any people.” {PP 48
“Without the death of Christ all this system was meaningless. The Jews reject Christ, and therefore their whole system of religion is to them indefinite, unexplainable, and uncertain. They attach as much importance to shadowy ceremonies of types which have met their antitype as they do to the law of the ten commandments, which was not a shadow, but a reality as enduring as the throne of Jehovah.”
“Speak thou also unto the children of Israel, saying, Verily my Sabbaths ye shall keep: for it [is] a sign between me and you throughout your generations; that [ye] may know that I [am] the LORD that doth sanctify you.... It [is] a sign between me and the children of Israel for ever: for [in] six days the LORD made heaven and earth, and on the seventh day he rested, and was refreshed.” Exodus 31:13, 17. KJV
“And I gave them my statutes, and showed them my judgments, which [if] a man do, he shall even live in them. Moreover also I gave them my Sabbaths, to be a sign between me and them, that they might know that I [am] the LORD that sanctify them.” Ezekiel 20:11,12. KJV
“ I [am] the LORD your God; walk in my statutes, and keep my judgments, and do them; And hallow my Sabbaths; and they shall be a sign between me and you, that ye may know that I [am] the LORD your God.” Ezekiel 20:19, 20. KJV
“For if Jesus had given them rest, then would he not afterward have spoken of another day. There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God. For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God [did] from his. Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief.” Hebrews 4:9-11. KJV
“And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made. And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made.” Genesis 2:2,3. KJV
“Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: But the seventh day [is] the Sabbath of the LORD thy God: [in it] thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that [is] within thy gates: For [in] six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them [is], and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the Sabbath day, and hallowed it.” Exodus 20:8-11. KJV
2. THE (SHADOWY) SABBATHS :
The 12“shadowy” Sabbaths, dispersed among the annual feast days, are calculated from the new moon, and occur in an exact seven-day sequence, distinctly separate from the seven-day sequence of the seventh-day Sabbath, BUT WHICH ON THE ANTI-TYPE WOULD OCCUR ON 7TH DAY SABBATHS. All of these shadowy Sabbaths are calculated from only two of the new moons of the sacred year, the first new moon, and the seventh or last new moon, even though some of the annual “shadowy Sabbaths” extend into the third month of the sacred year.
3. THE SABBATH OF THESE (SHADOWY) SABBATHS:
The seven shadowy Sabbaths, an exact week of shadowy Sabbaths, are to be counted from the 16th day of the month, the day of the Wave Sheaf offering, and reach to the 49th day. The 50th day, the day after the seventh shadowy Sabbath, is the Feast of Pentecost. The Day of Pentecost is the first day after a shadowy Sabbath, similar to the first day in the weekly cycle. This 50-day period is a miniature replication of the Jubilee cycle of years, showing that the Jubilee immediately follows the seventh Sabbath of years.
All the annual shadowy Sabbaths are designed to prophesy exactly where the seventh-day Sabbaths would be, at the time when the feast days would meet their fulfillment in the new covenant, when the type would meet the anti-type.
4. THE SABBATH (SEVENTH) MONTH:
The seventh month is the Sabbath month. The Jewish sacred year has only seven months in which all the annual feasts (those appointed by God) occur. In the seventh month which begins on the seventh new moon of the sacred year, the closing events of the plan of redemption are typified in 22 literal days. Lev. 23:24
5. THE SABBATH YEARS (SABBATICAL YEARS):
Like the days of the week, the years are also counted in a cycle of seven, a week of years, with the seventh year being the Sabbath year Lev.25. The cycle of seven in God's calendar, whether with days or years or weeks of years, was never interrupted or disturbed.
In the seventh year the land rested, as a reminder of the seventh millennium in which the earth will rest. It is also called a “year of release” Deuteronomy 15:1, since certain Hebrew slaves were set free in the Sabbath year, (and this took place on the Day of Atonement.) All other slaves were released in the “great year of release”, the Jubilee. And as in the Sabbatical year, this great release also took place on the Day of Atonement. Lev. 25:1-7 KJV
6. THE SABBATH OF SABBATH YEARS:
The week of Sabbath years, 7 X 7 years, or 49 years, was to illustrate that the Jubilee year was to occur immediately after the seventh Sabbatical year. The Jubilee was the first year in a new beginning, in a new set of seven years. The 7 Sabbath years foreshadows the alignment of ALL 7 of the different kinds of Sabbaths, in one area of time, which signals the end of time.
7. THE SABBATH MILLENNIUM:
The Sabbath millennium will begin immediately after the sixth millennium is completed. “...one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.” 2 Peter 3:8.
In the Spirit of Prophecy there are more than a dozen references to the six thousand years being the time allotted for the working of Satan in the demonstration of sin. The seventh millennium begins when all of these separate and distinct Sabbaths are aligned at the time of the end. Then will begin the seventh millennium, the great Sabbath rest for this earth.
THE 6000 YEARS
“The great plan of redemption results in fully bringing back the world into God's favor. All that was lost by sin is restored. Not only man but the earth is redeemed, to be the eternal abode of the obedient. For six thousand years Satan has struggled to maintain possession of the earth. Now God's original purpose in its creation is accomplished. "The saints of the Most High shall take the kingdom, and possess the kingdom for ever, even for ever and ever." AH 539-400
“Satan's work of ruin is forever ended. For six thousand years he has wrought his will, filling the earth with woe, and causing grief throughout the universe. The whole creation has groaned and travailed together in pain. Now God's creatures are forever delivered from his presence and temptations. “ FLB 72.8
“When Adam and his sons began to offer the ceremonial sacrifices ordained by God as a type of the coming Redeemer, Satan discerned in these a symbol of communion between earth and heaven. During the long centuries that have followed, it has been his constant effort to intercept this communion. Untiringly has he sought to misrepresent God and to misinterpret the rites pointing to the Saviour, and with a great majority of the members of the human family he has been successful.” PK 685
“The great plan of redemption results in fully bringing back the world into God's favor. All that was lost by sin is restored. Not only man but the earth is redeemed, to be the eternal abode of the obedient. For six thousand years, Satan has struggled to maintain possession of the earth. Now God's original purpose in its creation is accomplished. "The saints of the most High shall take the kingdom, and possess the kingdom for ever, even for ever and ever" (Daniel 7:18). AG 370.2
“For six thousand years, Satan's work of rebellion has “made the earth to tremble.” He has “made the world as a wilderness, and destroyed the cities thereof.” And “he opened not the house of his prisoners.” For six thousand years his prison-house has received God's people, and he would have held them captive forever, but Christ has broken his bonds, and set the prisoners free.” GC88 659.3
“Satan's work of ruin is forever ended. For six thousand years he has wrought his will, filling the earth with woe, and causing grief throughout the universe. The whole creation has groaned and travailed together in pain. Now God's creatures are forever delivered from his presence and temptations. “The whole earth is at rest, and is quiet; they [the righteous] break forth into singing.” [Isaiah 14:7.] And a shout of praise and triumph ascends from the whole loyal universe. “The voice of a great multitude,” “as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thunderings,” is heard, saying, “Alleluia; for the Lord God omnipotent reigneth.” GC88 673.2
“I saw that we sensed and realized but little of the importance of the Sabbath, to what we yet should realize and know of its importance and glory. I saw we knew not what it was yet to ride upon the high places of the earth and to be fed with the heritage of Jacob. But when the refreshing and latter rain shall come from the presence of the Lord and the glory of His power, we shall know what it is to be fed with the heritage of Jacob and ride upon the high places of the earth. Then shall we see the Sabbath more in its importance and glory. “But we shall not see it in all its glory and importance until the covenant of peace is made with us at the voice of God, and the pearly gates of the New Jerusalem are thrown open and swing back on their glittering hinges, and the glad and joyful voice of the lovely Jesus is heard richer than any music that ever fell on mortal ear bidding us enter.”--Letter 3, 1851. 3SM 388.2 E.G. White
THE 4 “SHADOW” SABBATHS ALIGN WITH 7TH-DAY SABBATHS
The perpetual Hebrew calendar, “HEBCAL”, shows that all 4 lunar “shadow” Sabbaths of the fall feasts very often occur on seventh-day Sabbaths in two consecutive years. For example, look at these years listed in the list below. Of course, in most years they have no special significance, it is only when this phenomena occurs in the 49th and 50th years that it would have potential significance. The two Hebrew calendars are, HILLEL I (HI) used from Moses' time to about the year 354 C.E., & HILLEL II (HII) USED FROM 354 C.E. until TODAY.
For example, in the year 2003, the “Feast of Trumpets”, the first day of the “Feast of Tabernacles” and the eighth day of the “Feast of Tabernacles”, all lunar “shadow” Sabbaths, fell on Holy seventh-day Sabbaths , and the very next year in 2004, the “Day of Atonement” occurred on the Holy seventh-day Sabbath, also. The exact same occurrence can be seen in each of the two consecutive years listed in the list below taken from “HEBCAL” Hillel II.

With the remaining five, there are a total of 7 different kinds of Sabbaths brought to view in God's plan of salvation. The following statement shows us the actual meaning of the number 7.

The first day of Passover in this calendar has always occurred on the 15th day, which is the first day of Unleavened Bread, instead of the 14th day, as is specified in the Bible. However, some classes of Jews continue using the ancient Hebrew calendar today.
THE SEVEN DIFFERENT KINDS OF SABBATHS
1. THE HOLY SEVENTH-DAY SABBATH (WEEKLY):
The seventh-day Sabbath is the very hub from which all of the other types of Sabbaths emanate and receive their glory. The seventh-day Sabbath is calculated from the cycle of the sun alone, whereas, all the other types of Sabbaths are calculated from the cycle of the moon, aided by the sun. Therefore, the seventh-day Sabbath shines the brightest of them all, just as the sun shines brighter than the moon.

“Speak thou also unto the children of Israel, saying, Verily my Sabbaths ye shall keep: for it [is] a sign between me and you throughout your generations; that [ye] may know that I [am] the LORD that doth sanctify you.... It [is] a sign between me and the children of Israel for ever: for [in] six days the LORD made heaven and earth, and on the seventh day he rested, and was refreshed.” Exodus 31:13, 17. KJV
“And I gave them my statutes, and showed them my judgments, which [if] a man do, he shall even live in them. Moreover also I gave them my Sabbaths, to be a sign between me and them, that they might know that I [am] the LORD that sanctify them.” Ezekiel 20:11,12. KJV
“ I [am] the LORD your God; walk in my statutes, and keep my judgments, and do them; And hallow my Sabbaths; and they shall be a sign between me and you, that ye may know that I [am] the LORD your God.” Ezekiel 20:19, 20. KJV
“For if Jesus had given them rest, then would he not afterward have spoken of another day. There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God. For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God [did] from his. Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief.” Hebrews 4:9-11. KJV
“And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made. And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made.” Genesis 2:2,3. KJV
“Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: But the seventh day [is] the Sabbath of the LORD thy God: [in it] thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that [is] within thy gates: For [in] six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them [is], and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the Sabbath day, and hallowed it.” Exodus 20:8-11. KJV
2. THE (SHADOWY) SABBATHS :
The 12“shadowy” Sabbaths, dispersed among the annual feast days, are calculated from the new moon, and occur in an exact seven-day sequence, distinctly separate from the seven-day sequence of the seventh-day Sabbath, BUT WHICH ON THE ANTI-TYPE WOULD OCCUR ON 7TH DAY SABBATHS. All of these shadowy Sabbaths are calculated from only two of the new moons of the sacred year, the first new moon, and the seventh or last new moon, even though some of the annual “shadowy Sabbaths” extend into the third month of the sacred year.
3. THE SABBATH OF THESE (SHADOWY) SABBATHS:
The seven shadowy Sabbaths, an exact week of shadowy Sabbaths, are to be counted from the 16th day of the month, the day of the Wave Sheaf offering, and reach to the 49th day. The 50th day, the day after the seventh shadowy Sabbath, is the Feast of Pentecost. The Day of Pentecost is the first day after a shadowy Sabbath, similar to the first day in the weekly cycle. This 50-day period is a miniature replication of the Jubilee cycle of years, showing that the Jubilee immediately follows the seventh Sabbath of years.
All the annual shadowy Sabbaths are designed to prophesy exactly where the seventh-day Sabbaths would be, at the time when the feast days would meet their fulfillment in the new covenant, when the type would meet the anti-type.
4. THE SABBATH (SEVENTH) MONTH:
The seventh month is the Sabbath month. The Jewish sacred year has only seven months in which all the annual feasts (those appointed by God) occur. In the seventh month which begins on the seventh new moon of the sacred year, the closing events of the plan of redemption are typified in 22 literal days. Lev. 23:24
5. THE SABBATH YEARS (SABBATICAL YEARS):
Like the days of the week, the years are also counted in a cycle of seven, a week of years, with the seventh year being the Sabbath year Lev.25. The cycle of seven in God's calendar, whether with days or years or weeks of years, was never interrupted or disturbed.
In the seventh year the land rested, as a reminder of the seventh millennium in which the earth will rest. It is also called a “year of release” Deuteronomy 15:1, since certain Hebrew slaves were set free in the Sabbath year, (and this took place on the Day of Atonement.) All other slaves were released in the “great year of release”, the Jubilee. And as in the Sabbatical year, this great release also took place on the Day of Atonement. Lev. 25:1-7 KJV
6. THE SABBATH OF SABBATH YEARS:
The week of Sabbath years, 7 X 7 years, or 49 years, was to illustrate that the Jubilee year was to occur immediately after the seventh Sabbatical year. The Jubilee was the first year in a new beginning, in a new set of seven years. The 7 Sabbath years foreshadows the alignment of ALL 7 of the different kinds of Sabbaths, in one area of time, which signals the end of time.
7. THE SABBATH MILLENNIUM:
The Sabbath millennium will begin immediately after the sixth millennium is completed. “...one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.” 2 Peter 3:8.
In the Spirit of Prophecy there are more than a dozen references to the six thousand years being the time allotted for the working of Satan in the demonstration of sin. The seventh millennium begins when all of these separate and distinct Sabbaths are aligned at the time of the end. Then will begin the seventh millennium, the great Sabbath rest for this earth.
THE 6000 YEARS
“The great plan of redemption results in fully bringing back the world into God's favor. All that was lost by sin is restored. Not only man but the earth is redeemed, to be the eternal abode of the obedient. For six thousand years Satan has struggled to maintain possession of the earth. Now God's original purpose in its creation is accomplished. "The saints of the Most High shall take the kingdom, and possess the kingdom for ever, even for ever and ever." AH 539-400
“Satan's work of ruin is forever ended. For six thousand years he has wrought his will, filling the earth with woe, and causing grief throughout the universe. The whole creation has groaned and travailed together in pain. Now God's creatures are forever delivered from his presence and temptations. “ FLB 72.8
“When Adam and his sons began to offer the ceremonial sacrifices ordained by God as a type of the coming Redeemer, Satan discerned in these a symbol of communion between earth and heaven. During the long centuries that have followed, it has been his constant effort to intercept this communion. Untiringly has he sought to misrepresent God and to misinterpret the rites pointing to the Saviour, and with a great majority of the members of the human family he has been successful.” PK 685
“The great plan of redemption results in fully bringing back the world into God's favor. All that was lost by sin is restored. Not only man but the earth is redeemed, to be the eternal abode of the obedient. For six thousand years, Satan has struggled to maintain possession of the earth. Now God's original purpose in its creation is accomplished. "The saints of the most High shall take the kingdom, and possess the kingdom for ever, even for ever and ever" (Daniel 7:18). AG 370.2
“For six thousand years, Satan's work of rebellion has “made the earth to tremble.” He has “made the world as a wilderness, and destroyed the cities thereof.” And “he opened not the house of his prisoners.” For six thousand years his prison-house has received God's people, and he would have held them captive forever, but Christ has broken his bonds, and set the prisoners free.” GC88 659.3
“Satan's work of ruin is forever ended. For six thousand years he has wrought his will, filling the earth with woe, and causing grief throughout the universe. The whole creation has groaned and travailed together in pain. Now God's creatures are forever delivered from his presence and temptations. “The whole earth is at rest, and is quiet; they [the righteous] break forth into singing.” [Isaiah 14:7.] And a shout of praise and triumph ascends from the whole loyal universe. “The voice of a great multitude,” “as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thunderings,” is heard, saying, “Alleluia; for the Lord God omnipotent reigneth.” GC88 673.2
“I saw that we sensed and realized but little of the importance of the Sabbath, to what we yet should realize and know of its importance and glory. I saw we knew not what it was yet to ride upon the high places of the earth and to be fed with the heritage of Jacob. But when the refreshing and latter rain shall come from the presence of the Lord and the glory of His power, we shall know what it is to be fed with the heritage of Jacob and ride upon the high places of the earth. Then shall we see the Sabbath more in its importance and glory. “But we shall not see it in all its glory and importance until the covenant of peace is made with us at the voice of God, and the pearly gates of the New Jerusalem are thrown open and swing back on their glittering hinges, and the glad and joyful voice of the lovely Jesus is heard richer than any music that ever fell on mortal ear bidding us enter.”--Letter 3, 1851. 3SM 388.2 E.G. White
THE 4 “SHADOW” SABBATHS ALIGN WITH 7TH-DAY SABBATHS
The perpetual Hebrew calendar, “HEBCAL”, shows that all 4 lunar “shadow” Sabbaths of the fall feasts very often occur on seventh-day Sabbaths in two consecutive years. For example, look at these years listed in the list below. Of course, in most years they have no special significance, it is only when this phenomena occurs in the 49th and 50th years that it would have potential significance. The two Hebrew calendars are, HILLEL I (HI) used from Moses' time to about the year 354 C.E., & HILLEL II (HII) USED FROM 354 C.E. until TODAY.
For example, in the year 2003, the “Feast of Trumpets”, the first day of the “Feast of Tabernacles” and the eighth day of the “Feast of Tabernacles”, all lunar “shadow” Sabbaths, fell on Holy seventh-day Sabbaths , and the very next year in 2004, the “Day of Atonement” occurred on the Holy seventh-day Sabbath, also. The exact same occurrence can be seen in each of the two consecutive years listed in the list below taken from “HEBCAL” Hillel II.

JUBILEE HYMNS IN EARLY SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTIST HYMNALS
In early Adventism, in hymnals such as, the “Christ in Song”, there are many songs about the soon anticipated Sabbatical and Jubilee year, many of these, however were omitted in subsequent hymnals. Notice the words of one of these, from the hymnal, “Christ in Song,” entitled, “THE YEAR OF JUBILEE.”
THE YEAR OF JUBILEE
1. “Oh, glory to God! It is coming again, 'Tis the glad jubilee of the children of men;
Then blow ye the trumpet, shout glory and sing, And join in the praises of Jesus the King.
Chorus: Shout with the voice of triumph, Soon shall the saints be free (be free);
Glory to the Lord! Hallelujah! Hasten the jubilee!”
2 . “'Tis the glad anti-type of that day long ago, When the hosts of the Lord might not gather or sow;
When the minions of Israel from labor were free, And the land was to rest in the glad jubilee.
Chorus: Shout with the voice of triumph, Soon shall the saints be free (be free);
Glory to the Lord! Hallelujah! Hasten the jubilee!”
3. “Yes, gladder by far is that rest “by and by,” When on wings like the eagle we mount to the sky:
We shall dwell evermore in that land of the blest, In that grand jubilee, in that Sabbath of rest.
Chorus: Shout with the voice of triumph, Soon shall the saints be free (be free);
Glory to the Lord! Hallelujah! Hasten the jubilee!”

“Light and grace will be given to those who thus obey God. They will behold wondrous things out of His law. Great truths that have lain unheeded and unseen since the day of Pentecost, are to shine from God's word in their native purity. To those who truly love God the Holy Spirit will reveal truths that have faded from the mind, and will also reveal truths that are entirely new. Those who eat the flesh and drink the blood of the Son of God will bring from the books of Daniel and Revelation truth that is inspired by the Holy Spirit. They will start into action forces that cannot be repressed. The lips of children will be opened to proclaim the mysteries that have been hidden from the minds of men. The Lord has chosen the foolish things of this world to confound the wise, and the weak things of the world to confound the mighty.” Review and Herald, August 17, 1897.
KEEPING THE SECOND COMING IMMINENT
“God gives no one a message that it will be ten or twenty years before this earth’s history shall close. If it were forty or one hundred years, the Lord would not authorize anyone to proclaim it. He would not give any living being an excuse for delaying the preparation for His appearing. He would have no one say, as did the unfaithful servant, “My Lord delayeth his coming,” for this leads to reckless neglect of opportunities and privileges to prepare for that great day. Every soul who claims to be a servant of God is called to do His service as if every day might be the last. . . .” CTr 346.2
Let everyone to whom the Lord has given light from His Word be sure to make a right use of that light. Let all be guarded that they do not presume to feed the flock of God with food that is not appropriate for the time. CTr 346.3
Talk of the speedy appearing of the Son of man in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. Put not off that day. God has given no one light to say, “My Lord delayeth his coming.” Let the inquiry be made, Shall I stand at the right hand or at the left hand of the Judge at that day? . . . CTr 346.4
It is essential that all shall know what atmosphere surrounds their own souls, whether they are in copartnership with the enemy of righteousness and unconsciously doing his work, or whether they are linked up with Christ, doing His work, and seeking to establish souls more firmly in the truth. CTr 346.5
God has never given any man permission to set any times in regard to His plan of salvation, He has definitely reserved all time setting to Himself . Thank God He has not given man permission to set any of His times.
GOD'S ORIGINAL JUBILEE CALENDAR
THE SABBATH ALIGNMENTS IN THE FALL FEASTS IN THE 49TH AND 50TH YEARS JOSEPHUS, FIRST CENTURY JEWISH HISTORIAN LISTS C.E. 27 AS A JUBILEE YEAR .
HILLEL I calendar was used from Moses' time to C.E. 354. The HILLEL I calendar uses all the principles for calculation that God gave to Moses to designate the times and the seasons. Whenever the HILLEL II calendar (the Jewish calendar in use today) begins the year with the new moon after the spring equinox, then both calendars agree on the timing of the fall feasts.
The Pharisee and the Sadducee methods of scheduling the feasts differed; but, both agreed at the time Jesus fulfilled the Feast days relating to His first coming. The two calendars, HILLEL I (HI) , & HILLEL II (HII) are in agreement for the four rare alignments of the fall feasts. DATA SHOWN BELOW TAKEN FROM “HEBCAL” (HILLEL II) PERPETUAL HEBREW CALENDAR
HILLEL I (HI) begins the Sacred Year with the first new moon AFTER the spring equinox, while HILLEL II (HII) begins the Sacred Year with the first new moon NEAREST the spring equinox.
OVER 300 YEARS WERE EXTRACTED FROM JEWISH RECKONING OF TIME FOLLOWING THE FULFILLMENT OF ELIJAH'S PROPHECY THAT MESSIAH WOULD APPEAR ON THE 85TH JUBILEE, WHICH WAS IN THE YEAR 27 C.E. AND NO FRIDAY PASSOVER SINCE 31 C.E. CAN BE FOUND IN THE HILLEL II CALENDAR. HII always begins Passover on the 15th day rather than on the 14th day as is specified in Leviticus 23. HII always begins the Passover on the first day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread.
