The timeline of Seventy Jubilees calculate out to a terminus in 2032.
by Gavin Finley MD - September, 2025
A new conversation is now emerging and gathering interest in Bible prophecy circles, that being the subject of the 70 Jubilees. The timeline is long. It reaches back across nearly three and a half millennia to the allotment of lands under Joshua. And its terminus? That has suddenly become extremely interesting. This matter is now coming into the spotlight, and probably just in time.
Why might that be? Well, we are now facing the threat of God’s Holy Land being divided, and this by unholy hands, people who have no neighborly love for Israel. We see a hidden malevolent mobbing entity led by Hamas, and now spreading worldwide as a raging of nations. The name “Palestine” is a cover name. They are an amalgam of people who never were a sovereign nation. A portion of Palestinians are law abiding, and Christians are there amongst them in small pockets. Others among the Palestinians are quite the opposite. The fierce hatred for Israel among cohorts within "Palestine" is a matter of recorded history.
So, we are certainly left in the dark here. We are left wonder about what lies hidden within the handle "Palestinian". We know that most Palestinians chose Hamas to lead them. Their murderous hatred of Israel and Jews as well as their loathing of Christian Palestinians is well known.
But sovereign nations in what was once Western Christendom, even nations of the “lost House of Israel” like France and the UK with its Commonwealth are part of the unfolding story. They have given their blessing to the "Palestinian State" and the propose an apportionment of the Holy Land of Israel to a "state of Palestine" which does not exist. Nevertheless, we now see a swelling radical fringe throughout those Western nations who are taking to the streets and rioting under the Palestinian flag.
This vote in the UN favoring Palestine and carving up the Land of Israel now involves over 80% of nations of this world. The fact that this global resolution was wrapped up in the Fall of 2025 on the eve of Yom Teruah, the Feast of Trumpets is highly significant. This is the first of the yet to be fulfilled Fall Feasts of the God of Israel. This determined resolve to re-apportion the land of Israel on that day is noteworthy to say the least. In removing land markers and redrawing borders it countermands the true and original apportionment of Israel by the God of Israel under Joshua. This whole matter of dividing the Land of Israel is a huge issue. And it is now beginning to come into sharp focus.
The Seventy Weeks Prophecy is another biblically based timeline with an end-time terminus. This is counted out as 490 prophetic years, each of 360 days. One final sabbatical, the 70th Week of Daniel now awaits its fulfillment. But the Seventy Jubilees involve the Land of Israel, the planting and harvest seasons, the sabbaticals, and the Jubilee cycles themselves. Unlike the Seventy Weeks Prophecy with its 360 day prophetic years being issued from God's throne in the third heaven the years being counted out for the Jubilees specifically relate to earthly solar years, those being 49 passages of the earth around the sun.
We get a sense of the reality and importance of Seventy Jubilees as a long span prophetic timeline of holy history from the Seventy Weeks Prophecy itself. There we see that
70 x 7 = 490 years can also be seen to be
10 x 49 = 490 years or TEN JUBILEE CYCLES.
Right there in the mathematics we see that the Seventy Weeks Prophecy is a neat display of perfect numbers, ten groups of 49 years. So as we see, the Seventy Weeks Prophecy has built within it a very elegant Jubilee structure. It would seem that the Holy Spirit is inviting us to look further into the matter, beyond the seventy sevens, to seventy 49 year Jubilee Cycles.
Daniel 9:24 is the first of the four verses of the Seventy Weeks prophecy. And as we notice, the focus and object of the Seventy Weeks Prophecy is not the Holy Land of Israel but the Holy City and the Holy People of Israel. However, the Jubilee relates to the land of Israel itself. And in the Seventy Jubilees we see that a wider seventy-fold application beyond the Seventy Weeks Prophecy is being suggested. That longer-reaching timeline laid out for us neatly in the prophecy of Seventy Jubilees is worthy of investigation. We search for a connection there and discover it in Jeremiah 25:12. As we shall discuss shortly that prophetic word in Jeremiah 25 has its immediate or primary fulfillment and in its secondary fulfillment or end-time fulfillment.
As for its primary interpretation this verse in Jeremiah was speaking of SEVENTY YEARS. This time period was referred to by the prophet Daniel as the exile was about to end. At that time in 538 B.C.E. the captives of Judah were being given amnesty to return home by Cyrus Here is the verse that the prophet Daniel took note of.
Jeremiah 25
12 “But when SEVENTY YEARS are complete,
I will punish the king of Babylon . . . . . . . . . "
Here is what Daniel concluded from that prophecy in Jeremiah 25.
Daniel 9:2 (KJV)
“In the first year of his reign I Daniel understood by books the number of the years, whereof the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah the prophet, that he would accomplish SEVENTY YEARS in the desolations of Jerusalem.”
The Seventy Years began in 605 B.C. It lasted to the end of the first return. 42,000 captives were returning to their homeland under Zerubbabel. This occurred in a time window after the edict of amnesty was issued by Cyrus the Great in 538 B.C. The Messianic duo LAMB has a song about this Alijah. It tells of the return of the captives of Judah and the sense of wonderment they experienced at the time.
At that time Daniel drew from the prophetic message that the Seventy Year Captivity of Judah under the Kingdom of Babylon was now ending. That first Alijah was soon to head out back to Jerusalem under Zerubbabel.
A new day was dawning. A couple of decades later the Second Temple would be rebuilt under Haggai. In the following century the scrolls would be found to launch a biblical revival, and another return to the land would come in 458 B.C.E. under the priest Ezra. Then in 445 B.C.E. the cup-bearer, Nehemiah made his trembling appeal to the Medo-Persian king to rebuild the gates and walls of Jerusalem to restore it as a self-governing city-state.
But there in 538 B.C.E. as the Persian army infiltrated the city at the watergate the writing was on the wall, literally. That night the mighty Kingdom of Babylon was being infiltrated and brought down.
In Daniel 9 we see Daniel coming to realize this transition was underway and bringing his majestic prayer of repentance and supplication.
Then it happened. Daniel had a divine visitor. And something new was being revealed to him. The angel Gabriel was showing Daniel a wider prophetic time interval, not just Seventy Years, but rather an expanded period of SEVENTY SEVENS or 490 years. Daniel was being shown the Seventy Weeks Prophecy.
But now, just as this present age seems to be ending, what do we see? Bible believing Christians are being presented with the issue of Seventy Jubilees. We now step up to an even longer prophetic timeline of Seventy Jubilees, 70. 49 = 3430 years, a time period spanning nearly three and a half millennia.
A valuable clue to this wider interpretation beyond “Seventy Years” and “Seventy Sabbaticals” to “Seventy Jubilees” comes in the second part of Jeremiah 25 verse 12.
Jeremiah 25
12 But when “Seventy TIMES”, (let us suggest “Seventy Jubilees”), are complete, I will punish the king of Babylon and that nation, the land of the Chaldeans, for their guilt, declares the LORD, and I will make it, (the “Babylon” being referred to here), an EVERLASTING DESOLATION.
In referencing the Hebrew Lexicon the Hebrew word “sana” H8141 could and does carries with it the meaning of “times”, which can mean “seventy years”. But it could just as well be used to denote a larger “time”, such as Seventy sabbaticals, seventy sevens of years as we see in the Seventy Weeks Prophecy.
So, in the right context this Hebrew word could equally be interpreted as a “jubilee”. All three of these, years, sabbaticals, and Jubilees are holy time periods ordained by God for His holy purposes.
This timeline of Seventy Jubilees would be another auspicious and longer timeline. It is seven times longer that the 490 year Seventy Weeks Prophecy. The Seventy Jubilees extend out to
70 x 49 = 3430 years.
The validity of the Seventy Jubilees as a prophetic measuring unit comes to us as we make a fuller examination of Jeremiah 25. But here we see a biblical reference to Seventy time units that terminate in a scenario that refers to the end-time destruction of “Mystery Babylon” of the latter days which is clearly apocalyptic in nature. The biblical context would point to the consummation of the age, involving climactic siege and Battle of Armageddon. Quite clearly, this would be something we have never seen before.
The prophecy of “Mystery Babylon” has been given to us by John. As we see, John saw Mystery Babylon in vision quite clearly. In no uncertain terms he speaks of its ultimate destruction. In the book of Revelation the apostle John provides us with a number of references.
Revelation 14:8 (KJV)
“And there followed another angel, saying, Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication.”
Revelation 16:19 (KJV)
“And the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell: and great Babylon came in remembrance before God, to give unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath.”
Revelation 17:5 (KJV)
“And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.”
Revelation 18:2 (KJV)
“And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird.”
Revelation 18:10 (KJV)
“Standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, Alas, alas, that great city Babylon, that mighty city! for in one hour is thy judgment come.”
Revelation 18:21 (KJV)
“And a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone, and cast it into the sea, saying, Thus with violence shall that great city Babylon be thrown down, and shall be found no more at all.”
So, having seen the prophecy of Jeremiah in chapter 25 concerning the desolation of Babylon and this being cross-referenced with John’s prophecies spotlighting the hidden end-time entity Mystery Babylon can we can locate the terminus of the Seventy Jubilees. This epic future threshold into the Millennium of Messiah is right there at the Last Day, the Day of Atonement or Yom Kippur. This Day of Reckoning, Day of Pardoning, Day of Sentencing, is nothing less than JUDGMENT DAY!
After that comes the execution of that Judgment, the gathering of the tares, (the wicked), and the gathering of the wheat, (the glorification of the covenant people of God in the Resurrection-Rapture).
As we read in Leviticus 25, Tishri 10 inaugurates and announces the Jubilee year, and the opening the first year of the ensuing 49 year Jubilee Cycle. This transition is announced with the blowing of the trumpets of Jubilee. And there at the end of the age, on the Day of Atonement, at the end of the 70th Seven, at the end of the 70th Jubilee an epic threshold is crossed. The Millennium of Messiah begins.
There at the Second Coming of Messiah we can well expect that there will be a new APPORTIONMENT of the land as well as apportionment great realities of a wider global and extraterrestrial nature. All these wonders will be unfolding there at the Judgment and with its subsequent execution.
****************************
So much for the terminus of the Seventy Jubilees. Let us now turn to examine the biblical record and see if we can locate the Start Date, and the year these Seventy Jubilees actually began.
The Jubilees relate very intimately with the Land of Israel. So we can safely surmise that the seventy Jubilees began right back with the apportionment of the Holy Land to the twelve tribes of Israel under Joshua.
As we locate the relevant scripture passages and lay out the timeline of seventy jubilee cycles from the apportionment of the land of Israel it appears that the terminus lands on a very special date not too far ahead of us, and very probably on Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement, the Last Day of this age. We shall go through this step by step.
Let us examine the scriptures that provide the dates for the relevant sentinel events. From these we can then proceed to lay out the timeline of the Seventy Jubilees.
STEP 1: Solomon begins to build the Temple in the 480th year after the Exodus.
1Kings 6:1
1 In the four hundred and eightieth year 480th year after the people of Israel came out of the land of Egypt, in the FOURTH YEAR of Solomon’s reign over Israel, in the month of Ziv, which is the second month, he began to build the house of the LORD.”
(This is a bit over half way into that fourth civil or kingdom year, i.e., measured from the Day of Atonement.)
This mention of a 480th YEAR means this is an INCLUSIVE year count. So Solomon began building the Temple in the FOURTH YEAR of his reign, which is 479 YEARS after the Exodus.
STEP 2: The well-established date in which Solomon began his reign is 970 B.C.E. So, if he began to build the temple in his fourth year this would be 3 years later,
(970 - 3 = 967.)
So, that fourth year in which King Solomon began to build the Temple would be in 967 B.C.E. The month of Zin indicates that the RELIGIOUS YEAR was beginning, and these matters of the Temple are of a RELIGIOUS nature. So, 967 B.C.E. in the second month, the month of Ziv, in late Spring, half way through the CIVIL YEAR or KINGDOM YEAR King Solomon began building the Temple.
STEP 3: From the fourth year of the reign of King Solomon as he began to build the temple we go back 479 years earlier than 967 B.C.E. (the year when the year when Temple cornerstone was laid), to day#1, which was the EXODUS.
967 B.C.E. - 479 years
(967 + 479 = 1446 B.C.E.
So, here we have a solid date,
1446 B.C.E., for the Exodus.
STEP 4: The year of the report of the 12 spies and establishing the date of the rebellion at Kadesh-Barnea.
The 12 spies are sent out by Moses from Kadesh Barnea to spy out the land. This is some time interval AFTER the EXODUS. How soon after the Exodus in 1446 B.C.E. did the Spies return to Kaden-Barnea bringing their report of what they saw in the land of Israel?
Joshua and Caleb spied out the land approximately 1.5 to 2 YEARS AFTER THE EXODUS from Egypt.
There at Kadesh-Barnea south of Beersheba Israel was SUPPOSED TO enter the Promised Land. But ten of the twelve spies concluded that the task was beyond them. They brought an evil report of fear that caused the nation to balk. They took a resolve against going into the land. God judged thus as lacking faith. This resulted in the 40-years of wandering in the wilderness, which began immediately after the spies' return.
STEP 5: So, in which year was the fearsome report given by the ten spies and the rebellion against God at Kadesh-Barnea?
As we have determined, 1446 B.C.E. is the date for the Exodus. So we roll forward in time two years from the Exodus.
1446 - 2 = 1,444
So the spies brought their report and the rebellion occurred there at Kadesh Barnea in 1,444 B.C.E.
STEP 6: When was the Jordan River crossing?
To determine the year of the Jordan River crossing into the Promised Land we account for the Forty Years in the Wilderness and go forward in time 40 years from 1444 B.C.E., (our spy report date), to arrive 40 years later at the Jordan River Crossing date of
1444 - 40 = 1,404
We can now conclude that the date for the crossing of the Jordan River the Jordan River is 1,404 B.C.E.
STEP 7: The land has its rest. So, for 40 years no planting or harvests will be conducted by the children of Israel in the Promised Land as had been expected.
Joshua 5:6 (ESV/NKJV)
“For the people of Israel walked forty years in the wilderness, until all the nation, the men of war who came out of Egypt, perished, because they did not obey the voice of the LORD; the LORD swore to them that he would not let them see the land that the LORD had sworn to their fathers to give to us, "a land flowing with milk and honey."
Judges 5:31 (KJV)
“So let all thine enemies perish, O LORD: but let them that love him be as the sun when he goeth forth in his might. And THE LAND HAD REST FORTY YEARS.
STEP 8: Joshua’s age at the time of the spying report at Kadesh-Barnea.
We now move on to pick up on the biblical record regarding the age of Joshua when he and Caleb presented their spying report. In the following verse we discover that Joshua was 40 years old when he was sent out from Kadesh-Barnea and some two months later made his spying report.
Joshua 14:7 (KJV)
“FORTY YEARS OLD WAS I when Moses the servant of the LORD sent me from Kadesh-Barnea to espy out the land; and I brought him word again as it was in mine heart.”
Joshua states his age at Kadesh Barnea as FORTY YEARS of age. Then, as we note, forty years in the wilderness pass, and we come to the crossing of the Jordan. So, we can conclude that Joshua was
40 + 40 = eighty years old when they crossed the Jordan River into the Promised Land, which we have concluded was
1444 - 40 = 1404 B.C.E.
However, it will be some years before the Children of Israel conquer the land and subdue it sufficient to establish crops to reap the Harvests for the Fall Feasts. Only after the conquest and subduing of the Land and only at that appointed time of the Fall Feasts can the land be subdivided and the various geographical regions apportioned to the 12 tribes. So, our next task is to determine what that year might be.
We can also readily surmise that the date of this apportionment of the land was Yom Kippur. As we read in Leviticus 25, the Day of Atonement date of Tishri 10 was when the trumpets of JUBILEE sound to announce liberty throughout the LAND.
It is important to note that this matter of the JUBILEE is specifically a LAND ISSUE, as well as a time for release of the captives of Zion, a return to one’s homeland, and an economic reset. The Jubilee cycles are time-linked and heavily related to passage of years here on earth, the passage of the seasons, of planting and harvests, the sabbaticals, and ultimately the 49 year Jubilee cycle itself. The Jubilee year, the fiftieth year and the first year of the ensuing Jubilee cycle is an economic reset for the Land of Israel itself and its God ordained governance. This prevents monopolies from forming and hinders the super-rich from amassing wealth and lands and owning everything. The Jubilee Year reset brings liberty to the captives, an economic reset, and with it the assurance that there will be a just and righteous continuation of inherited family lands.
So, in what year would that apportionment of the Land of Israel have been made for Israel and the twelve tribes? Our big clue comes from Joshua as he makes his address to the people at the time of the confirmation of the apportionment process. Joshua states his age at that time of the apportioning of the land as 85 YEARS of AGE.
Joshua 14:10 (KJV)
“And now, behold, the LORD hath kept me alive, as he said, these FORTY AND FIVE YEARS even since the LORD spake this word unto Moses, while the children of Israel wandered in the wilderness: and now, lo, I am this day FOURSCORE AND FIVE years old. (85 years old).
STEP 9: Joshua is 85 when he apportions the land of Israel, setting forth its borders, and the internal borders for the 12 tribes. Just to make sure we get the message here Joshua also makes mention of 45 years since the spying report was executed at KadeshBarnea. So, this highly significant event in holy history 45 years after the rebellion at Kadesh-Barnea marks the Fall Harvest season that begins the Jubilee count for the promised Land of Israel.
So Joshua is 85 and it is 45 years since at age 40 he and Caleb make their positive spying report at Kadesh-Barnea and the other ten spies brought their negative report, which amounted to a rebellion.
This apportionment of the Land of Israel is 45 YEARS AFTER our spy report date of 1444 B.C.E.
Counting out the 45 years after 1444 B.C.E. we roll forward 45 years to arrive at the land apportionment date.
1,444 - 45 = 1,399
So, the date for the LAND APPORTIONMENT under JOSHUA is 1399 B.C.E.
This will begin the Jubilee countdown of Seventy Jubilees to the terminus of this age.
STEP 10: We now conclude by laying out out the seventy jubilees cycles of 70 x 49 = 3430 years from the apportioning of the land by Joshua in 1399 B.C.E. to that auspicious occasion that marks the terminus of this age.
So, we can now place our 3430 year timeline. We place it on the Fall Feast, Day of Reckoning, Day of Atonement, Yom Kippur, the Day of Accounting, Day of Apportioning of the Holy Land which we have determined is 1399 B.C.E. Since there is no year zero between 1 B.C.E. and 1 C.E. 1399 B.C.E. is actually accounted as -1398 C.E.
Accordingly, to locate the TERMINUS YEAR for the SEVENTY JUBILEES counted out from Joshua as he apportioned the Land of Israel we subtract 1398 from the 3430 years.
3,430 - 1,398 = 2,032!
This is a very sobering conclusion. Because if 2032 is the terminus year of this age, the day when the trumpets of Jubilee sound to wrap up the entire evil age and the entry into the Millennium of Messiah then what does that say for this year of 2025 seven years before that? Does it not point to this past September 23 of 2025 being the start date for the 70th Week of Daniel and the final 7 years of this age?
The 2550 day timeline of the 1260 + 1290 Days bridging the two Fall Feasts, Yom Teruah in 2025 and Yom Kippur in 2032 is precise. There is no way we can we shrug this off.
We are now bound to ask the question,
"Did anything of prophetic significance happen this past September 23 of 2025?"
That would certainly be a lead in to what could turn out to be a very important ongoing conversation.
There is no doubt that the Western powers making this deal to tip their hat to Hamas and "the people of the prince who is to come", or "the people of the false messiah who is to come" seem to be completely unaware of what they have done. Seeking “peace and security” may seem to be a noble thing to do when a neighbor is fighting off enemies determined to destroy him and his family. But to make a covenant favoring a known malevolent and murderous entity hidden under a cover name and without consulting God on the matter is a serious and unwise move. In playing around with God's Holy Land and chopping it up under a new apportionment by profane hands they are playing with and defiling the holy things of God.
This fooling around with the holy things of God is very unwise. This is just as King Belshazzar of Babylon and his harlots did at Belshazzar’s Feast, the night that saw the fall of Babylon.
See this video.
The UK and its Commonwealth of nations, Australia and Canada and France with other nations have been leading lights in Western Christendom. But what have they done? They have opened Pandora’s box. They are making a covenant with a powerful alien hidden entity, the true nature of which they are quite unaware.
May God help us to sound the warning here. Let us call God’s covenant people in the West, and all good people everywhere, to repentance and salvation.
There is a marvelous, but narrow gate, that leads to salvation and peace with God. The redemption comes under the atoning blood of Jesus Christ, Yeshua Hamashiach, Israel’s promised Sacrifice Lamb. But people must decide for themselves who they will follow. Will it be Israel’s Shepherd-King? Or will it be the soon to be revealed prince of darkness?
Joshua himself had brought us this exhortation.
Joshua 24:15
“But if it is unpleasing in your sight to serve the LORD, then choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve. Will it be the gods your fathers served beyond the Euphrates, or the gods of the Amorites in whose land you are living?
As for me and my house,
we will serve the LORD."
