Rediscovering the Sabbatical & Jubilee Years Through the Tombstones of Zoar.
The confusion about when to keep the Set-Apart times began during those turbulent Maccabean years, peaking with the destruction of the Temple and continuing past the Great Disappointment of the Bar Kochba Revolt. During these 400 years and more, it was conceived, locked in, and then redacted.
Daniel 7:25 tells us he will change the appointed seasons and commandments. Many assume Constantine did this when he made Sunday the Sabbath. Few have considered the calendar’s many changes and how they relate to us today. Hidden in this proverbial swamp of confusion is the truth about the Sabbatical and Jubilee years. The Sabbatical and Jubilee years reveal the truths about the calendar that have been hidden for almost 2000 years.
More Than Just Tombstones
The calendar issue is a proverbial swamp of mixed ideas and outright false teachings. I certainly did not want to dive into that cesspool of confusion when I began writing this book. The more I began to explain each of the Tombstones of Zoar, the more I found myself explaining why and when things were changed. To understand how the Sabbatical and Jubilee dating became confused, I had to explain how the calendar was gradually changed over almost 1400 years.
Benedict Zuckermann (1818–1891), a Jewish scientist from Breslau, believed that the Sabbatical Cycles began anew after the Babylonian exile. He authored the first modern treatise on the Shmita, but he chose to exclude it when faced with contradictory evidence.
Ben Zion Wacholder (1924-2011), Professor Emeritus of Talmud and Rabbinics at Hebrew Union College in Cincinnati, examined the tombstones accessible to him and found they did not align with his chronology. He also excluded those that contradicted his understanding.
Since the discovery of the tombstones from Zoar, the Lots Cave Museum, located at the southern edge of the Dead Sea, has recovered over 400 Greek and Aramaic tombstones that were taken from Zoar (Zoora), noted as the largest cemetery in the ancient world. By examining 72 tombstones referenced in research papers and museums, we gained insights into their calendrical codes. This research uncovered 40 tombstones that can be linked to 32 other Sabbatical and Jubilee years recorded in Biblical history and archaeology, confirming the specific timing for observing the Jubilee years.
Historically, Jews have utilized different methods for counting, not always adhering to a system that begins from Creation. The present Hebrew year system is relatively modern, and the calendar itself has undergone changes throughout the last 2000 years, which may surprise many individuals.
To grasp our current situation, we need to analyze historical facts without forcing them into our preconceived frameworks. By examining the evidence chronologically, we will finally come to terms with how near we are to the conclusion of the sixth millennial day.
