The very first Scripture that the LWs decoded was Leviticus 26. Gordon deduced that it described a malediction of 7 prophetic times, or 2520 years in January 1992. He was a Jehovah's Witness at the time and was therefore fascinated by the Gentile Times Prophecy of Daniel 4. He realised that Leviticus 26 was a second proof that the Gentile Times lasted for 2520 years or 7 Prophetic Times.
But then, on Wednesday January 21st 2004, our LW research group looked at a talk from Chuck Missler an American Bible Belt evangelist, www.khouse.org. We were impressed by Chuck's total belief in the perfection of the bible, and by the eloquence with which he expressed his belief and proved it to be true from the scriptures. We were also impressed by his presentational techniques which are far more sophisticated than ours. Unfortunately, in the modern multi media world of 2004, people find it hard to READ BOOKS!! They prefer short amusing sound bites or video clips or power point presentations which do not fully logically prove the assertions that they make.
People do not really want to engage their brains. They find it hard to maintain the same train of thought for more than a few, well, more than a few seconds really. Of course this attitude will not work for the modern Christian, which is why 'the media', the great unwitting victims of satanic manipulation, the dragon's mouth of Revelation 16, are pushing us all down this intellectual cul de sac. God however, knows precisely what our intellectual capabilities are, and he expects us to use them fully for him. For Jesus said:
27 In answer he said: You must love Jehovah your God with your whole heart and with your whole soul and with your whole strength and with your whole mind, and, your neighbour as yourself (Luke 10).
Which pretty much sums up the entire obligation of God's children.
Chuck considered the malediction of Leviticus 26, and rather than proving it from the scriptures, used the old: "Some scholars think", line to introduce the possibility that the chapter contained a 2520 year malediction on the physical Jews.
To cut a long story short, all of Chuck's AD Chronology is incorrect. He has the wrong date for Jesus' death and he mixes the lunar and solar calendars together and does not have one start point or end point of any prophecy correct for that reason. But we were impressed by his sincerity and his by American candour which is always refreshing. We could see that he loved God and that he had total faith in God's absolute perfection, yet Chuck could not truly see very much of this perfection, which made Gordon sad.
But there was one thing that stuck in Gordon's mind, and that was the appearance of the physical state of Israel around 2520 years after the beginning of the Babylonian captivity of the Jews. Gordon already knew that most churches misinterpret Daniel 4 to apply to the physical Jews, and the establishment of the nation of Israel. But in the case of Leviticus 26, the application to the physical Jews was more compelling because Leviticus 26 is after all a part of the Law of Moses. So on further study of Leviticus 26 Gordon came across the following scripture which proved to him that the whole of Leviticus 26 applied to the physical sons of Israel in the literal meaning and to the sons of the ICC, God's official people, in the word symbolic meaning:
46 These are the regulations and the judicial decisions and the laws that Jehovah set between himself and the sons of Israel in Mount Sinai by means of Moses (Leviticus 26).
It is obvious with hindsight that Leviticus 26 applies to physical Jews in the literal meaning, but we did have to check that the particular part, verses 28 onwards, which describes the 2520 year malediction was not meant symbolically in the literal account.
So the literal meaning of Leviticus 26 applies to the Israeli Gentile Times and the word symbolic meaning applies to the Gentile Times of John Aquila Brown and Charles Taze Russell. Just as the literal meaning of Daniel4 applied to a 7 year malediction that befell Nebuchadnezzar himself and the word symbolic meaning applied to the 7 Prophetic Times of the Gentile Times that befell God's official people, the sons of the ICC (and the Exedenic Times and the Alienation Times).
So now we will apply this chapter as it is supposed to be applied, to the literal sons of Israel, and we will see what we can discover about them.
2 When you eventually come into the land that I am giving you, then you must observe a Sabbath to Jehovah.
3 Six years you should sow your field with seed, and six years you should prune your vineyard, and you must gather the land’s produce.
4 But in the seventh year there should be a Sabbath of complete rest for the land.
Your field you must not sow with seed, and your vineyard you must not prune (Leviticus 25).
The agricultural year, which was the fiscal year in what was an agricultural economy, started in the seventh month, Tishri (September/October):
22 And you will carry on your festival of weeks with the first ripe fruits of the wheat harvest, and the festival of ingathering, at the turn of the year (Exodus 34).
16 Also the festival of the harvest of the first ripe fruits of your labours, of what you sow in the field, and the festival of ingathering at the outgoing of the year, when you gather your labour from the field (Exodus 23).
13 The festival of Booths you should celebrate for yourself seven days when you make an ingathering from your threshing floor and your oil and winepress (Deuteronomy 16).
So the turn and outgoing, meaning beginning, of the agricultural year was the seventh month. The ingathering of all the crops is obviously a good end to an agricultural year. The modern Jews celebrate their new year on Tishri1. The Jubilee was to be celebrated every 50th year after entering into the promised land.
8 And you must count for yourself 7 Sabbaths of years, 7 times 7 years, and the days of the 7 Sabbaths of years must amount to 49 years for you.
9 And you must cause the horn of loud tone to sound in the 7th month on the 10th of the month. On the day of atonement you people should cause the horn to sound in all your land.
10
And you must sanctify the 50th year and proclaim liberty in the land to all its inhabitants. It will become a Jubilee for you, and you must return each one to his possession and each one to his family.
11 A Jubilee is what the 50th year will become for you. You must not sow seed nor reap the lands growth from spilled kernels nor gather the grapes of its unpruned vines (Leviticus 25).
Since the Jubilee had all the features of a Sabbath year, it was also a Sabbath, in fact a greater one. The Jubilee year again was from Tishri to Elul. Since it was a Sabbath, presumably the actual release occurred on Tishri10.
Having established the details of the Sabbath year in Leviticus 25, let's look at the details of the covenant between Jehovah and his people in Leviticus 26.
1 'You must not make valueless gods for yourselves, and you must not set up a carved image or a sacred pillar for yourselves, and you must not put a stone as a showpiece in your land in order to bow down toward it;
for I am Jehovah your God.
2 you should keep my sabbaths and stand in awe of my sanctuary. I am Jehovah.
3 'If you continue walking in my statutes and keeping my commandments and you do carry them out,
4 I shall also certainly give your showers of rain at their proper time, and the land will indeed give its yield, and the tree of the field will give its fruit.
5 And your threshing will certainly reach to your grape gathering, and the grape gathering will reach to the sowing of seed; and you will indeed eat your bread to satisfaction and dwell in security in your land.
6 And I will put peace in the land, and you will indeed lie down, with no one making [you] tremble; and I will make the injurious wild beast cease out of the land, and a sword will not pass through your land.
7 And you will certainly chase your enemies, and they will indeed fall before you by the sword.
8 And 5 of you will certainly chase 100, and 100 of you will chase 10,000, and your enemies will indeed fall before you by the sword.
9 'And I will turn myself to you and make you fruitful and multiply you, and I will carry out my covenant with you.
10 And you will certainly eat the old of the preceding year, and you will bring out the old ahead of the new.
11 And I shall certainly put my tabernacle in the midst of you, and my soul will not abhor you.
12 And I shall indeed walk in the midst of you and prove myself your God, and you, on your part, will prove yourselves my people.
13 I am Jehovah your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt from acting as slaves to them, and I proceeded to break the bars of your yoke and make you walk erect.
14 'However, if you will not listen to me nor do all these commandments,
15 and if you will reject my statutes, and if your souls will abhor my judicial decisions so as not to do all my commandments, to the extent of your violating my covenant,
16 then I, for my part, shall do the following to you, and in punishment I shall certainly bring upon you disturbance with tuberculosis and burning fever, causing the eyes to fail and making the soul pine away. And you will simply sow your seed for nothing, as your enemies will certainly eat it up.
17 And I shall indeed set my face against you, and you will certainly be defeated before your enemies; and those who hate you will just tread down upon you, and you will actually flee when no one is pursuing you.
18 'If, though, despite these things, you will not listen to me, I shall then have to chastise you 7 times as much for your sins.
19 And I shall have to break the pride of your strength and make your heavens like iron and your earth like copper.
20 And your power will simply be expended for nothing, as your earth will not give its yield, and the tree of the earth will not give its fruit.
21 'But if you keep walking in opposition to me and not wishing to listen to me, I shall then have to inflict 7 times more blows upon you according to your sins.
22 And I will send the wild beasts of the field among you,
and they will certainly bereave you of children and cut off your domestic animals and reduce the number of you, and your roads will actually be desolated.
23 'Nevertheless, if with these things you do not let yourselves be corrected by me and you just have to walk in opposition to me,
24 I, yes, I, shall then have to walk in opposition to you; and I, even I, shall have to strike you 7 times for your sins.
25 And I shall certainly bring upon you a sword wreaking vengeance for the covenant; and you will indeed gather yourselves into your cities, and I shall certainly send pestilence into the midst of you, and you must be given into the hand of an enemy.
26 When I have broken for you the rods around which ring-shaped loaves are suspended, 10 women will then actually bake your bread in but one oven and give back your bread by weight; and you must eat but you will not be satisfied.
27 'If, however, with this you will not listen to me and you just must walk in opposition to me,
28 I shall then have to walk in heated opposition to you,
and I, yes, I, shall have to chastise you 7 times for your sins.
29 So you will have to eat the flesh of your sons, and you will eat the flesh of your daughters.
30 And I shall certainly annihilate your sacred high places and cut off your incense stands and lay your own carcasses upon the carcasses of your dungy idols; and my soul will simply abhor you.
31 And I shall indeed give your cities to the sword and lay your sanctuaries desolate, and I shall not smell your restful odors.
32 And I, for my part, will lay the land desolate, and your enemies who are dwelling in it will simply stare in amazement over it.
33 And you I shall scatter among the nations, and I will unsheathe a sword after you; and your land must become a desolation, and your cities will become a desolate ruin.
34 'At that time the land will pay off its sabbaths all the days of its lying desolated, while you are in the land of your enemies. At that time the land will keep sabbath, as it must repay its sabbaths.
35 All the days of its lying desolated it will keep sabbath, for the reason that it did not keep sabbath during your sabbaths when you were dwelling upon it. (Leviticus 26 NWT)

Verses 32-35 |
Prophecy that the Jews will fail to keep the Land Sabbaths, and that the penalty (malediction) they will pay (suffer) will be an eviction from their land. |
This chapter is a contract in law between God and the whole nation of the sons of Israel collectively. This contract is split into two parts:
{1} A false-worship prohibition part, with a blessing and a malediction
{2} A Land Sabbath-keeping part, with a blessing and a malediction.
Now both houses of the Jews, the house of Judah and the house of Israel, themselves breached both of their obligations under this contract. They therefore suffered both of the prescribed penalties (maledictions). The lengths of these breaches are given by the Prophetic actions of Ezekiel:
1 And you, Oh son of man, take for yourself a brick, and you must put it before you and engrave upon it a city, even Jerusalem.
2 And you must lay siege against it
and build a siege wall against it
and throw up a siege rampart against it
and set encampments against it
and put battering rams all around against it (Ezekiel 4).
This refers to one siege in the literal meaning (of Jerusalem with Solomon's temple) and a further 5 sieges, falls and destructions of Jerusalem (Under the law Zerubbabel's/Herod's temple, and the four true Christian religious administrations) by the Immediate Repetition Principle.
3 And as for you, take to yourself an iron griddle, and you must put it as an iron wall between you and the city, and you must fix your face against it, and it must get to be in a siege, and you must besiege it. It is a sign to the house of Israel.
4 And as for you, lie upon your left side, and you must lay the error of the house of Israel upon it. For the number of the days that you will lie upon it you will carry their error.
5 And I myself must give to you the years of their error to the number of 390 days, and you must carry the error of the house of Israel.
6 And you must complete them. And you must lie upon your right side in the second case, and you must carry the error of the house of Judah 40 days. A day for a year, a day for a year, is what I have given you.
7 And to the siege of Jerusalem you will fix your face, with your arm bared, and you must prophesy against it.
8 And, look! I will put cords upon you that you may not turn yourself from your one side to your other side, until you will have completed the days of your siege (Ezekiel 4).
Ezekiel is besieging Jerusalem, which is the brick. The iron griddle which acts as an iron wall is heavenly protection for Jerusalem from God. Now these prophetic actions are very carefully and logically explained by the holy spirit. The first side that he lies on is his left side, because the lying on his right side is described as 'in the second case'. Then we read that he is not permitted to turn from one side to the other until he has completed the days of his siege. So the length of time that he is on his first side, his left side, is the length of time until he has completed the days of his siege.
It is the length of the siege of the brick whilst it is protected by the iron wall. But the true God tells us that number of days that Ezekiel spends on his left side is not only the length of the siege in days but is also the years of the error of the house of Israel but stated in days, taking a day for a year. So Ezekiel's actions represent a true time period of 390 years for both the error of the house of Israel and the siege of a protected Jerusalem. So for a 390 year period Jerusalem is besieged and protected by God and Israel is committing a national sin. Incidentally this is the classic mix of a bible account. You want to know the length of 'x' and the account tells you all about the length of 'y'. But then you realise that there is a relationship between x and y which gives you the length of x from the length of y.
But every 7th year and every 50th year from the first agricultural year in the promised land (which started in 1437Tishri1, 21st September) both in the 390 year and the 40 year error periods, was a land Sabbath year which ran from Tishri to Tishri. So since these years are taken from Tishri to Tishri, all the years of both error periods must be taken the same way. So these error periods are measured in agricultural years.
We know that at the end of the 390 agricultural years God's iron wall, the heavenly protection for Jerusalem ended and the siege of the city ended. In other words Jerusalem fell to a foreign power. This happened first at the defeat and killing of King Josiah by Pharaoh Nechoh in 608 BC, see - The Chronology from Solomon to Zedekiah. After Josiah's death, his 4th born son Jehoahaz ruled for 3 months, being appointed not by Pharaoh but by the 'people of the land' whilst Pharaoh was busy defending his threatened assets in Assyria against the Babylonians (Cambridge Ancient History). Then Pharaoh removed him, imprisoned him and appointed Jehoiakim, the 2nd born son of Josiah, as a vassal king of Pharaoh, not God.
29 In his days Pharaoh Nechoh the king of Egypt came up to the king of Assyria by the river Euphrates, and King Josiah proceeded to go to meet him; but he put him to death at Megiddo as soon as he saw him.
30 So his servants conveyed him dead in a chariot from Megiddo and brought him to Jerusalem and buried him in his grave. Then the people of the land took Jehoahaz the son of Josiah and anointed him and made him king in place of his father.
31 23 years old was Jehoahaz when he began to reign, and for 3 months he reigned in Jerusalem.
And his mother's name was Hamutal the daughter of Jeremiah from Libnah.
32 And he began to do what was bad in Jehovah's eyes, according to all that forefathers of his had done.
33 And Pharaoh Nechoh got to put him in bonds at Riblah in the land of Hamath, to keep him from reigning in Jerusalem, and then imposed a fine upon the land of 100 silver talents and a gold talent.
34 Furthermore,
Pharaoh Nechoh made Eliakim the son of Josiah king in place of Josiah his father and changed his name to Jehoiakim; and Jehoahaz he took and then brought to Egypt, where he eventually died.
35 And the silver and the gold Jehoiakim gave to Pharaoh. Only he taxed the land, to give the silver at the order of Pharaoh. According to each one's individual tax rate he exacted the silver and the gold from the people of the land, to give it to Pharaoh Nechoh.
36 25 years old was Jehoiakim when he began to reign, and for 11 years he reigned in Jerusalem (2 Kings 23).
Incidentally applying the Immediate Repetition Principle to the phrase 'A day for a year a day for a year' there is certainly a further 390 year siege of a greater Jerusalem. This applies to the second true Christian Religion, FDS2 we think (we do not know) - see [67].
The blessings were such as:
6 And I will put peace in the land, and you will indeed lie down with no one making you tremble, and I will make the injurious wild beast cease out of the land and a sword will not pass through the land.
7
And you will certainly chase your enemies, and they will indeed fall before you by the sword (Leviticus 26).
This is what happens under a good king. For the Sons of Israel said to Samuel:
20 And we must become, we also, like all the nations, and our king must judge us and go out before us and fight our battles (1 Samuel 8).
A king is a judge who has the people not as cases but as subjects. He owns the people and receives taxes from them. This was the situation between God and the sons of Israel until the first regnal year of Jehoiakim in 607. God was king of Israel from Moses until Jehoiakim. Saul, David and his sons were vassals of God.
But Jehoiakim taxed the people not for God but for Pharaoh Nechoh. At the time that Pharaoh started getting tax from everyone, God was no longer Caesar to the Jews. For Jesus has taught us that we should:
7 Pay back Caesar's things to Caesar, but God's things to God. And they began to marvel at him (Mark 12).
So if Pharaoh is getting the tax, then he is Caesar, not God. So Pharaoh was the King in the days of Jehoiakim.
The blessings ended and God's kingship ended at the accession of Jehoiakim. This accession was on 608Chislev10 (13th November), see U97. So the first agricultural year of malediction under this contract started on 607Tishri1 (23rd September). Samaria fell in the 9th year of Hoshea and the 4th of Shalmanezer of Assyria which was 723Nisan1 (19th March) - 722Nisan1 (8th March). God did not cease to act as king over the sons of the house of Israel at that point because they could be his subject in the Kingdom of Judah if they so chose. Many of them had chosen to stay in Judah under the Kingship of Rehoboam at the start of the kingdom of the North (Israel):
17 As for the sons of Israel that were dwelling in the cities of Judah, Rehoboam continued to reign over them (1 Kings 12).
We should point out that God whilst still being King of Israel allowed all sorts of enemies to conquer them, as can be seen from the book of Judges. But he always rescued them from their enemies within a maximum of 20 years. When he stops being King over Israel they are conquered and not rescued.
The national idolatry obligation on the sons of Israel under this contract (verse 1) was:
1 You must not make valueless Gods for yourselves, and you must not set up a carved image or a sacred pillar for yourselves, and you must not put a stone as a showpiece in your land in order to bow down toward it, for I am Jehovah your God (Leviticus 26).
One penalty for breaching this was (verse 21):
21
But if you keep walking in opposition to me and not wishing to listen to me, I shall then have to inflict 7 times more blows upon you according to your sins (Leviticus 26).
So every year of idolatry error, in breach of the obligation of verse 1, during the blessings period whilst God was the king, would carry a 7 fold penalty, a malediction of 7 years, wherein God was not their king.
We know that the error period for Israel was 390 years and the error period for Judah was 40 years. We also know that Ezekiel lay on both of his sides for a total of 430 days. This is saying that the total error of both houses was 430 years. In other words each house was jointly and severally liable for the errors of both houses. this being the mathematical import of the sleeping pattern of Ezekiel - You cannot sleep on both sides at once!
4 And as for you, lie upon your left side, and you must lay the error of the house of Israel upon it. For the number of the days that you will lie upon it you will carry their error.
5 And I myself must give to you the years of their error to the number of 390 days, and you must carry the error of the house of Israel.
6 And you must complete them. And you must lie upon your right side in the second case, and you must carry the error of the house of Judah 40 days. A day for a year, a day for a year, is what I have given you.
(Ezekiel 4 NWT)
The 390 error years of Israel ended in 607Tishri and so began in 997Tishri.
The 40 year error period of Judah was the first 40 years of Manasseh's reign,
from 699Tishri-659Tishri - see U507
In fact the Idolatry error of Israel began on the first day of Booths 997Tishri15, because Jeroboam made the political decision to forego that festival and instead to make up his own version of Booths starting a month later on 997Heshvan15...
26 And Jeroboam began to say in his heart: Now the kingdom will return to the house of David.
27 If this people continues going up to render sacrifices in the house of Jehovah in Jerusalem, the heart of this people will also be bound to return to their lord, Rehoboam the king of Judah; and they will certainly kill me and return to Rehoboam the king of Judah.
28 Consequently the king took counsel and made 2 golden calves and said to the people: It is too much for you to go up to Jerusalem.
Here is your God, Oh Israel, that brought you up out of the land of Egypt.
29 Then he placed the one in Bethel, and the other he put in Dan.
30 And this thing came to be a cause for sin, and the people began to go before the one as far as Dan.
31 And he began to make a house of high places and to make priests from the people in general, who did not happen to be of the sons of Levi.
32 And Jeroboam went on to make a festival in the 8th month on the 15th day of the month, like the festival that was in Judah,
that he might make offerings upon the altar that he had made in Bethel, to sacrifice to the calves that he had made; and he put in attendance at Bethel the priests of the high places that he had made.
33 And he began to make offerings upon the altar that he had made in Bethel on the 15th day in the 8th month, in the month that he had invented by himself [but not the day he invented for himself. This was a counterfeit/replacement Booths festival];
and he proceeded to make a festival for the sons of Israel and to make offerings upon the altar to make sacrificial smoke. (1 Kings 12 NWT)
There were 63 land Sabbath years and Jubilees in the 390 years of Israel and there were 7 land Sabbath years and Jubilees in the 40 years of Israel. For full details of these error periods and their Sabbaths, see - The 390 year error of Israel and the 40 year error of Judah.
Now in the land Sabbath error years, God did not hold idolatry against either kingdom as a national sin, because a Sabbath is supposed to be a release from debt, and sin is a debt to God:
1 At the end of every seven years you should make a release.
2 And this is the manner of the release: there will be a releasing by every creditor of the debt that he may let his fellow incur. He should not press his fellow or his brother for payment, because a release to Jehovah must be called (Deuteronomy 15).
So we can split the total of 390+40 = 430 years of error into 63 years of land Sabbath error for Israel and 7 years of land Sabbath error for Judas combining to make 70 years of land Sabbath error in total.
So there must have been 430-70=360 years of idolatry error for both houses. Remember that both houses are jointly and severally liable for each others errors, they are cross liable. So the error splits up as:
70 years land Sabbath error for both houses
360 years idolatry error for both houses
The total penalty for the idolatry error at 7 years without God as king for every year of national idolatry whilst God was king is 360 x 7 = 2520 years.
So the sons of Israel suffered the malediction of Leviticus 26 for 2520 years. Now if one reads Leviticus 26 from start to finish we see that God first threatens the Jews with these penalties:
14 However, if you will not listen to me nor do all these commandments.
15 And if you will reject my statutes, and if your souls will abhor my judicial decisions so as not to do all my commandments, to the extent of your violating my covenant,
16 then I, for my part, shall do the following to you, and in punishment I shall certainly bring upon you disturbance with
tuberculosis and burning fever, causing the eyes to fail and making the soul pine away. And you will simply sow your seed for nothing, as your enemies will certainly eat it up.
17 And I shall indeed set my face against you, and you will certainly be defeated before your enemies; and those who hate you will just tread down upon you, and you will actually flee when no one is pursuing you (Leviticus 26).
Putting this is the modern idiom, the Jews would become Losers. Then he says, well if you do not get corrected by this sort of thing you will get the next level of punishment which is:
18 'If, though, despite these things, you will not listen to me, I shall add to the chastising of you 7 times
upon your sins.
19 And I shall have to break the pride of your strength and make your heavens like iron and your earth like copper.
20 And your power will simply be expended for nothing, as your earth will not give its yield, and the tree of the earth will not give its fruit.
21 'But if you keep walking in opposition to me and not wishing to listen to me, I shall add upon you [a] blow 7
times as [long lasting as] your sins.
This is a warning about a punishment that lasts for 7 Times AND is 7x as long lasting as their sins. Sabbath error is paid back Sabbath for Sabbath, 1:1.
Walking in opposition to Jehovah is idolatry. That is paid back 7:1. So their punishment is both 7 times and is 360x7=2520 years. So 7 times = 2520 years. So each time is 360 years or a years of years, which is a year of days taken a day for a year.
The rest of the punishment is described as follows..
22
And I will send the wild beasts of the field among you, and they will certainly bereave you of children and cut off your domestic animals and reduce the number of you, and your roads will actually be desolated.
23
'Nevertheless, if with these things you do not let yourselves be corrected by me and you just have to walk in opposition to me,
24
I, yes, I, shall then have to walk in opposition to you; and I, even I, shall have to strike you 7 times for your sins [at some future date].
25
And I shall certainly bring upon you a sword wreaking vengeance for the covenant; and you will indeed gather yourselves into your cities, and I shall certainly send pestilence into the midst of you, and you must be given into the hand of an enemy.
26
When I have broken for you the rods around which ring-shaped loaves are suspended, 10 women will then actually bake your bread in but one oven and give back your bread by weight; and you must eat but you will not be satisfied.
27
'If, however, with this you will not listen to me and you just must walk in opposition to me,
28
I shall then have to walk in heated/angry [tmx]
opposition to you, and I, yes, I, shall have to chastise you 7 times for your sins.
29
And you will have to eat the flesh of your sons, and you will eat the flesh of your daughters.
30
And I shall certainly annihilate your sacred high places and cut off your incense stands and lay your own carcasses upon the carcasses of your dungy idols; and my soul will simply abhor you.
31
And I shall indeed give your cities to the sword and lay your sanctuaries desolate, and I shall not smell your restful odours.
32
And I, for my part, will lay the land desolate, and your enemies who are dwelling in it will simply stare in amazement over it.
33
And you I shall scatter among the nations, and I will unsheathe a sword after you; and your land must become a desolation, and your cities will become a desolate ruin.
So there is the famine in Jerusalem when it was beseiged by Titus in 70 CE and the great diaspora of the Jews after Jerusalem fell. Next we see the Sabbath penalty...
34
'At that time the land will pay off its Sabbaths all the days of its lying desolated, while you are in the land of your enemies. At that time the land will keep Sabbath, as it must repay its Sabbaths.
35 All the days of its lying desolated it will keep Sabbath, for the reason that it did not keep Sabbath during your Sabbaths when you were dwelling upon it.
36 'As for those remaining among you, I shall certainly bring timidity into their hearts in the lands of their enemies; and the sound of a leaf driven about will indeed chase them away, and they will actually flee as in flight from a sword and fall without anyone chasing.
37 And they will certainly stumble against one another as if from before a sword without anyone chasing,
and for you there will prove to be no ability to stand [in resistance] before your enemies.
38 And you must perish among the nations, and the land of your enemies must eat you up.
39 As for those remaining among you, they will rot away because of their error in the lands of your enemies.
Yes, even because of the errors of their fathers, with them they will rot away.
40 And they will certainly confess their own error and the error of their fathers in their unfaithfulness when they behaved unfaithfully toward me, yes, even when they walked in opposition to me.
41 Yet I, for my part, proceeded to walk in opposition to them, and I had to bring them into the land of their enemies. 'Perhaps at that time their uncircumcised heart will be humbled, and at that time they will pay off their error.
42 And I shall indeed remember my covenant with Jacob; and even my covenant with Isaac and even my covenant with Abraham I shall remember, and the land I shall remember.
43 All the while the land was left abandoned by them and was paying off its Sabbaths while it was lying desolated without them and they themselves were paying for their error, because,
even because, they had rejected my judicial decisions, and their souls had abhorred my statutes.
44 And yet for all this, while they continue in the land of their enemies, I shall certainly not reject them nor abhor them so as to exterminate them, to violate my covenant with them; for I am Jehovah their God.
45 And I will remember in their behalf the covenant of the ancestors whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt under the eyes of the nations, in order to prove myself their God. I am Jehovah.'
46 These are the regulations and the judicial decisions and the laws that Jehovah set between himself and the sons of Israel in Mount Sinai by means of Moses (Leviticus26).
The northern tribes started paying for the land Sabbaths in 609Tishri, which was the end of a land Sabbath year and was when the Northern tribes started serving Nebuchadnezzar 70 years of Jeremiah 25 before 539Tishri when Babylon fell to Cyrus and Darius. But the 7 times idolatry malediction malediction did not start then since Judah was still going under Zedekiah at the time. The covenants remembered by God are the 1AC with Abraham and the ICC with Isaac and the JAC with Jacob and the 'land' God remembers because the ICC ended on 36Tishri14 with the conversion of the Gentile Cornelius in Acts 10. Also in verse 41, God is making the comparison with their fleshly circumcision, which continues down to this day and the circumcision of the heart, the baptism in holy spirit. In fact the Jews could not be spirit baptised in the second presence until the Jewish call into the 1NC on 1901Heshvan29 - see [42].
The land that God remembers in verse 42 is therefore the physical land of Israel. The covenant of the ancestors is the law covenant. In fact, to be precise, it is that part of it which is recorded in Leviticus 26. At the end of the 2520 year period God removes his curses, and the Jews stop being physical losers. Today they are certainly not physical losers anymore! So when did this 2520 curse of the law begin and when did it end?
Well this malediction is not to do with divine rulership because the physical Jews ceased to be God's official people when the LCC ended with the conversion of Cornelius on 36Tishri14. It is a malediction on the Jews having a King over them who is from their race.
The first King to physically remove large numbers of nobility from Jerusalem (beginning the diaspora of Judah) and successfully besiege the place was Nebuchadnezzar. He started his siege in the third year of Jehoiakim's reign:
1 In the third year of the kingship of Jehoiakim the king of Judah, Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon came to Jerusalem and proceeded to lay siege to it (Daniel 1).
The 3rd year of Jehoiakim was 605 BC. Now sieges obviously last for some time, and work by causing famine, which of course doesn't happen overnight. In the 4th year of Jehoiakim, Nebuchanezzar defeated Egypt and Assyria together at the battle of Carchemish:
2 For Egypt, concerning the military force of Pharaoh Necho the king of Egypt, who happened to be by the river Euphrates at Carchemish, whom Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon defeated in the 4th year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, the king of Judah (Jeremiah 46).
So he must have finished his siege of Jerusalem in late 605 or early 604. Now Jeremiah also tells us in the book of Kings that:
36
25 years old was Jehoiakim when he began to reign, and for 11 years he reigned in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Zebidah the daughter of Pedaiah from Rumah.
37
And he continued to do what was bad in Jehovah's eyes, according to all that forefathers of his had done (2 Kings 23).
1
In his days Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon came up, and so Jehoiakim became his servant for 3 years. However, he turned back and rebelled against him.
2
And Jehovah began to send against him marauder bands of Chaldeans and marauder bands of Syrians and marauder bands of Moabites and marauder bands of the sons of Ammon, and he kept sending them against Judah to destroy it, according to Jehovah's word that he had spoken by means of his servants the prophets.
3
It was only by the order of Jehovah that it took place against Judah, to remove it from his sight for the sins of Manasseh, according to all that he had done,
4
and also [for] the innocent blood that he had shed, so that he filled Jerusalem with innocent blood, and Jehovah did not consent to grant forgiveness (2 Kings 24).
So Nebuchanezzar succeeded in his siege because Jehovah was not going to forgive the national sin of Judah incited by King Manasseh. Manasseh was the one who managed to lead Israel into the 40 year national idolatry error. Amazingly enough, God did forgive Manasseh himself, however, he was not prepared to forgive Judah.
11 Finally Jehovah brought against them the chiefs of the army that belonged to the king of Assyria, and so they captured Manasseh in the hollows and bound him with two fetters of copper and took him to Babylon.
12 And as soon as it caused him distress, he softened the face of Jehovah his God and kept humbling himself greatly because of the God of his forefathers.
13 And he kept praying to Him, so that He let himself be entreated by him and He heard his request for favour and restored him to Jerusalem to his kingship. And Manasseh came to know that Jehovah is the [true] God (2 Chronicles 33).
26 Nevertheless, Jehovah did not turn back from the great burning of his anger, with which his anger burned against Judah over all the offensive things with which Manasseh had made them offend.
27 But Jehovah said: Judah, too, I shall remove from my sight, just as I have removed Israel. And I shall certainly reject this city that I have chosen, even Jerusalem, and the house of which I have said, 'My name will continue there (2 Kings 23).
So Nebuchanezzar, and the other marauders only succeeded by the order of Jehovah, in order that the national idolatry error would be paid for. So the payment for Judah's sin began when Nebuchanezzar succeeded in taking Jerusalem by the sword, for the scripture says:
31 And I shall indeed give your cities to the sword (Leviticus 26).
Jeremiah is actually telling us that the siege was the beginning of the payment for the sins of Judah 'as spoken by means of his servants the prophets'. These prophets were Moses and Jeremiah himself and Ezra, who wrote Chronicles. So certainly at the fall of Jerusalem to Nebuchadnezzar in 605/604, the 2520 year malediction period had started.
Now 2520 years after 604 BC is 1917 AD. But on November 2nd 1917 (Heshvan14) the British government made the Balfour declaration by Letter to Lord Rothschild saying:
Foreign Office
November 2nd 1917
Dear Lord Rothschild,
I have much pleasure in conveying to you, on behalf of His Majesty's Government, the following declaration of sympathy with Jewish Zionist aspirations which has been submitted to, and approved by, the Cabinet.
"His Majesty's Government view with favour the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people, and will use their best endeavours to facilitate the achievement of this object, it being clearly understood that nothing shall be done which may prejudice the civil and religious rights of the existing non Jewish communities in Palestine, or the rights and political status enjoyed by Jews in any other country"
I should be grateful if you would bring this declaration to the knowledge of the Zionist Federation.
Yours sincerely,
Arthur James Balfour
Regrettably, contrary to the stated aims of the British Government, which was the pre-eminent world power at that time, it being the first horn of the Anglo American world power, the Israelis have proven to be a terrible steward of the Palestinian people.
So we initially thought that their 2520 year Gentile Times malediction upon genetic Israel ran from 604 to 1917 which was the Balfour declaration. But that declaration did not result in the immediate creation of the state of Israel or in the Jews getting a king over them who was Jewish. Once we realised that the Israeli Gentile Times was a malediction not on having a king who was not chosen by them and a representative of God, but merely upon having a king who was a Jew, then we saw that it could not start until Zedekiah ceased ruling.
The Gentile Times on God's official people was the period when the sons of the ICC had a king not chosen by them who taxed the people and paid a tribute to a foreign Caesar
The Israeli Gentile Times on genetic Israel was the period when Israel did not have a Davidic King.
27 And it came about in the 37th year of the exile of Jehoiachin the king of Judah, in the 12th month, on the 27th day of the month [562Adar27],
that Evil-Merodach. the king of Babylon, raised up, in year of reign of him [his first regnal year, 561] namely head of Jehoiachin, the king of Judah from/out of the prison house
28 and he began to speak good things to him [3x]
and to put his throne higher than the thrones of the kings that were with him in Babylon [(1x+1x).3x=6x: One throne above another, a Hebrew plural of times. Suspending the Gentile Times].
29 And he [EM]
changed garments of prison of him [3x];
and he [Jehoiachin] ate bread constantly before/to faces of him [Evil Merodach] [1x+1x=2x:
Faces is a polite plural. Evil Merodach has only one face - at a time] all/the entirety of the days of his [Evil Merodach's OR Jehoiachin's]
lives [3x. 'All of' is a partitive genitive. Evil Merodach only lasted for 2 regnal years. He got 561 and 560 as regnal years according to Ptolemy's Canon - see U91. But 'his life' is ambiguous so the sentence count gives us the length of Jehoiachin's life].
30 And as for his allowance, an allowance was constantly given him from the king, edict of day in/concerning day of him [i.e.
a daily menu - as the King himself would have], all of days of his lives. (2 Kings 25 NWT adapted form the Hebrew)
No count is triggered. The days of Evil Merodach's life were 2 regal years 561 and 560.
12 At length Jehoiachin the king of Judah went out to the king of Babylon, he with his mother and his servants and his princes and his court officials; and the king of Babylon got to take him in the 8th year to reign of him. (2 Kings 24 NWT)
9 18 years old was Jehoiachin when he began to reign, and for 3 months and 10 days he reigned in Jerusalem; and he continued to do what was bad in Jehovah's eyes. (2 Chronicles 36 NWT)
Jehoiachin accedes for 3 months and 10 days, and then is taken to Babylon in the 8th year of Nebuchadnezzar (2Kings24:12). This is actually the sacred year because the Babylonian Chronicles establish that Nebuchadnezzar captured Jerusalem the first time on 598Adar2 (16 March) 597 BC. - D. J. Wiseman, Chronicles of Chaldean Kings in the British Museum (London: Trustees of the British Museum, 1956). So Jehoiachin was removed from Jerusalem at the end of 598 sacred and arrived in Babylon in 597 sacred.
Exilic years from the land are counted as sacred years (since Adar is the 12th month in verse 27) and do not have an accession year. So his first sacred year of exile ran from 598Nisan1 to 598Adar30. He returned to being the King of Judah in the 37th year of his exile, when Jehoiachin, the KING OF JUDAH was lifted up out of the prison house and had his head lifted up and his throne was made higher than the thrones of the other kings that were with him (Jeremiah 52:31). that year was therefore 562Nisan1 - 562Adar30, which was the accession year of Evil Merodach who had two regnal years 561 and 560.
31 And it came about in the 37th year of the exile of Jehoiachin the king of Judah, in the 12th month, on the 25th day of the month [562Adar25],
that Evil-Merodach. the king of Babylon, raised up, in year of reign of him [his first regnal year, 561] namely head of Jehoiachin the king of Judah and proceeded to bring him forth from the prison house.
32 And he commanded good things to him [3x]
and to put his throne higher than the thrones of the kings that were with him in Babylon [(1x+!x).3x=6x: One throne above a Hebrew plural of thrones].
33 And he [Evil Merodach/the king of Babylon] changed garments of prison of him [3x],
and he [Jehoiachin] ate bread constantly before/to faces of him [Evil Merodach/the King of Babylon] [1x+1x=2x: faces is a polite plural. Evil Merodach has only one face - at a time] all/the whole of of days of his [Evil Merodach's OR Jehoiachin's]
lives [3x. Lives is another polite plural. 'All of' is a partitive genitive. Evil Merodach only lasted for 2 regnal years. He got 561 and 560 as regnal years according to Ptolemy's Canon - see U91. But ' his life' is ambiguous so the sentence count gives us the length of Jehoiachin's life].
34 And as for his allowance [1x], an allowance was constantly given him [1x] from the king of Babylon,
[it was] edict of day in/concerning day of him [1x], until the day of his death [1x], [it was constantly given him] all of days of his lives [3x]. ['Aleph] (Jeremiah 52 NWT adapted from the Hebrew)
The verbatim repetition of all the days of his lives in both parallel accounts, tells us that the accounts will give us all the days of Jehoiachin's life. When a scripture repeats the concept of all the days of a life, then it tells you how many days that will be. Also the phrase until the day of his death, all the days of his life, is an immediate repetition. It appears to mean that both Evil Merodach and Jehoiachin died at the same time. Because it is ambiguous as to whether these days are of Jehoiachin or of Evil Merodach. so it is of Both..
So ate bread all the day of his life before the face of Evil Merodach who reigned for 2 years until both of their deaths..
So there is a 2 year period when Jehoiachin's throne was raised to be 1st lieutenant to Evil Merodach, from 561Tishri15 (Booths after 562Adar25/27) to 559Tishri15 (booths after the death of Jehoiachin and Evil Merodach). but that did not put a hole in any Gentile Times. Because Evil Merodach did not raise up Jehoiachin to be above him!
Now the Judaeans lost their King Zedekiah a few days after 586Tammuz9 of Jeremiah39:2, when Zedekiah fled Jerusalem to be caught at the plains of Jericho and blinded and then taken captive to Babylon. So the Israeli Gentile Times, which is a malediction preventing the sons of Israel from having a Davidic King, began then.
29 and having braided crown out of thorns they imposed upon the head of him and reed in the right [hand] of him, and having knelt in front of him they made fun of him saying Be rejoicing, Oh king of the Jews, (Matthew 27 KIT)
49 Nathanael answered him: Rabbi, you are the Son of God, you are King of Israel. (John 1 NWT)
20 Therefore many of the Jews read this title, because the place where Jesus was impaled was near the city; and it was written in Hebrew, in Latin, in Greek [Babylonian,
Ministry Maccabean gaps]
21 However, the chief priests of the Jews began to say to Pilate: Do not write 'The King of the Jews,' but that he said, 'I am King of the Jews.'
22 Pilate answered: What I have written I have written.
(John 19 NWT)
Jesus was King of the Jews down to the end of the reign of Josiah (when they spoke Hebrew). He was King of the Jews during the Maccabean gap, when Israel spoke Greek, due to being Conquered by the Greeks. He was King of the Jews during his ministry, when people spoke Latin and Greek and Hebrew and Aramaic, due to being conquered by the Romans. He was King of the Gentiles during the ministry of Paul, when people spoke Latin under the Romans. The 3 writings on the stake are a witness to at least 3 tongues being spoken during the 3 gaps in the 98 year Maccabean + 2x4 year Ministry and 4 year non adamic lease gapped Gentile Times, during which gaps Jesus was Caesar to physical Jacob and or to covenant Jacob.
Jesus was appointed/installed to feed the 1NCs on 29Tishri2/Heshvan21, 2NC first fruits/Pentecost. His 40 days of fasting in the wilderness ran from the Atonement day fast on 29Tishri10 to 29Heshvan19 inclusively. He was tested by Satan on 29Heshvan20, at which time Satan still had access to his ark, from which he showed him all the Kingdom of the world and their glory in an instant of time (since time stands still on earth for those in an ark). So Satan was still Caesar on 29Heshvan20 (Caesar has access to an ark from which he oversees his kingdom). Then on the 3rd day inclusively thereafter, 29Heshvan22-28 the wedding of Cana occurred - see U85. Jesus was already Caesar to Adam by virtue of his headlease over him and Jacob was a son of Adam not Cain. But Jesus was maledicted from acting as anyone in a salvation covenant (God's people) by the Gentile Times. So that must have ended on Tishri15 (when it always starts and ends) of 29 AD, in order for Jesus to be Caesar on 29Heshvan29, Cana veil lifting and marital supper day. He also had to be Caesar on 33Sivan5 but not on 33Sivan6. So the gap in the Gentiles Times ended on 33Tishri15.
Paul's resurrection of Eutychus in Acts20 was a different matter. Paul was not a 1NC saint. So resurrections of Christians are not the preserve of the 1NCs. Peter resurrected Dorcas when Jesus was not Caesar over Israel. But Peter had the gifts of the spirit which must operate when Jesus is not Caesar or they would only have lasted for the day of Pentecost 33Sivan5. In fact they were useable until the end of the 2,000 days of demons posession, because expelling a demon IS a resurrection from Hades of the original occupant of the body. Eutychus who fell asleep listening to Paul drone on and died but was resurrected by Paul.
Acts 16:16 has demon possession of a presumably Gentile Servant girl and Acts 19:15 has demon possession another Gentile man and then a really short demon possession of 7 Jewish sons of Sceva. this was presumably because they 7 sons were DACs, but possession of Jews was not permitted at that time. This must occur during a second 2000 day demon possession period for the Gentiles rather than the 2000 days for the Jews around Jesus' ministry.
So we can now state the gifts of the spirit may only be used when Jehovah is Caesar (directly or through a vassal) OR during a period of demon possession (when the gift of resurrection is needed to expel demons and return the original DAC occupants from Hades).
16 And it happened that as we were going to the place of prayer, a certain servant girl with a spirit, a demon of divination, met us.
She used to furnish her masters with much gain by practicing the art of prediction.
17 This [girl] kept following Paul and us and crying out with the words: These men are slaves of the Most High God, who are publishing to you the way of salvation.
18 This she kept doing for many days. Finally Paul got tired of it and turned and said to the spirit: I order you in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her. And it came out that very hour.
19 Well, when her masters saw that their hope of gain had left, they laid hold of Paul and Silas and dragged them into the marketplace to the rulers,
20 and, leading them up to the civil magistrates, they said: These men are disturbing our city very much, they being Jews, (Acts 16 NWT)
But there were 7 sons of Sceva the Jewish priest and the demon got mastery over them in both ways [amphotera].
10 This but occurred upon years two, as-and all the inhabiting the Asia to hear the word of the Lord, Jews and and Greeks.
11 Powers and not the having happened the God was doing through the hands of Paul,
12 as-and also upon the (ones) being sick to be borne off from the skin of him sweat cloths or aprons and to be changing place from them the diseases, the and spirits the wicked to be coming out.
13 Took in hand but some also of the (ones) going about Jews exorcists to be naming upon the (ones) having the spirits the wicked the name of the Lord Jesus saying I am putting under oath you the Jesus whom Paul is preaching.
14 Were but of some Sceva Jewish high priest seven sons this doing.
15 Having answered but the spirit the wicked said to them The indeed Jesus I am knowing and the Paul I am acquainted with, you but who are you?
16 And having leaped upon the man upon them in whom was the spirit the wicked having got the mastery of both exerted strength down on them, as-and naked and having been wounded to flee out of the house that.
17 This but became known to all Jews and and Greeks the (ones) inhabiting the Ephesus, and fell upon fear upon all them, and was being magnified the name of the Lord Jesus. (Acts 19 KIT)
The 7 sons of Sceva were Jews by religion. They were not sealed saints. So they were throwing out the demons by means of Beelzebub the ruler of the demons like Jannes and Jambres. They are doing demonic signs and therefore were sons of the DAC ripe for possession. They never were possessed until the 2000 days of Gentile possession when they met the demon who took the lot of them for he got master over them both ways amphotera. both physically and spiritually, by possession.
But only for a few minutes, for he took the lot of them and then they ran out of the house after their possession which resulted in their becoming naked.
7 sons of Sceva, Jews, sons of the Chief priests, are 2x 3½ year ministries (with 2000 day possessions) for FDS1 and FDS2 before their appointment/installation to rule over TCC1 and TCC2. They are the period between installation to feed and installation to rule for FDS1 and for FDS2.
'Jew' is meant here in the sense of being ministered to first before the true church is appointed/installed to rule (as was the case in Jesus' ministry).
So the demon got mastery of Both (amphotera) in the sense of both churches. Sceva means left hand. Paul was the left hand of Jesus. Peter was the right.
So there have so far only been 4000 days when the gifts of the spirit could be used. 2000 during and after Jesus' ministry to the Jews and 2000 during Paul's ministry to the Gentiles.
Jesus did not have to be appointed/Installed as Caesar when the malediction was interrupted because he already held those positions subject to the malediction.
So the Israeli Gentile Times and the Gentile Times of God's people (the covenant sons of Isaac) were interrupted by the 4 year ministry period when Jesus was Caesar to Jacob. The Gentile Times was further interrupted by the 4 year ministry period of Paul, which being to the Gentiles did not affect the Israeli Gentile Times and by the 98 year Maccabean gap which did not suspend the Davidic Israeli Gentile Times because the Maccabeans were Aaronic.
So it runs not for 2520 continuous years until 1935Tishri15. But for 4 years longer until 1939Tishri15 (after the invasion of Poland on dawn 1939September1 - 1939Elul13 and after Britain declared war at 11 am on 1939September3 - 1939Elul15). Then on 1948Sivan3 (1948May14), the British mandate to govern Palestine as a colony expired and the State of Israel was proclaimed by David Ben Gurion and accepted by President Harry S Truman. Israel since then has had a government which is effectively their king (Perhaps some of those politicians are Davidic?).
One of the main purposes of WW2 was to eliminate the Jewish race BEFORE the Israeli Gentile Times had ended and thereby deny them ever having the freedom of self rulership. It was of course a demonically inspired war.
4 year Jesus; Ministry gapped Davidic Israeli Gentile Times denying physical Jews a Davidic secular king

Evil Merodach did raise up the throne of Jehoiachin in Babylon to be higher than all the other thrones. But this did not end the Gentile Times, because Evil Merodach was still above Jehoiachin. So there is no Jehoiachin's reign 2 year gap from 561Tishri15 to 559Tishri15 (Booths after Both Jehoiachin and Evil Merodach die in Babylon).
463 + 74 + 26 + 4 + 1949 + 4 = 2520 years of the Quad gapped Gentile Times, the secular Kingship malediction on God's official people Jacob (genetic and covenant) on Isaac (genetic and covenant) NOT Abraham (genetic and covenant) denying them a king from their ranks chosen by them or by God. Paul could have been Jesus' Vassal Caesar to the Gentiles outside the true church (genetic Gentiles who were also spiritual Gentiles - not God's official Isaaic people) from 66Chislev21 (the installation of FDS2 to feed the 1NCs) to 70Tammuz8 (their installation to rule over the 1NCs). He could not be Caesar to his own church (TCC2) because no non divine person can be King and priest to the same group (Father and Mother). But a God can be both. For gender is a tutor to divinity1.
The reason that Christians suffer from a malediction on the Jews, is that the malediction is on God's people or on all mankind as were the Exedenic Times and the Alienation Times.
So here is a wonderful confirmation of the prophetic power of the bible. But there is an obvious moral question that is being begged by this amazing malediction.
39 As for those remaining among you, they will rot away in the lands of your enemies. Yes because of the errors of their fathers, with them they will rot away (Leviticus 26).
Q: How can God punish the sons for the errors of their fathers for so long???
A: He blessed them for the same length of time.
The LCC was made in 1919 BC. when Abraham was 99 years old, a year before the birth of Isaac. The Jews benefited from this covenant in many ways until 36Tishri14, when it ended with the conversion of Cornelius in Acts10. They suffered from the Law during the 70 year exile in Babylon from 609Tishri to 539Tishri, which is covered below and in section U122. So they had a total of 1919 + 36 - 70 -1 (there was no zero BC) = 1884 years of benefit from the LCC.
This benefit was 'unfair' to Abraham's true genetic seed in the sense that no other race on earth had it and Abraham's true Genetic seed did nothing to deserve it. They got the LCC due to the faith of Abraham, not due to their own faith.
Now the period of malediction and no blessing at all under the law of Moses ran from Cestius' failed attack on Jerusalem in 66 AD to 1948 AD which period is 1882 years long. There was terrible famine and civil war in Jerusalem after Cestius according to Josephus.
So Jehovah 'unfairly' blessed Abraham's true genetic seed for 1884 years and then he 'unfairly' cursed them for a further 1882 years. In other words he visited the blessings of the father Abraham on his sons for 1884 years and then he visited the sins of the fathers on their sons for a further 1882 years. There is therefore a kind of Justice in the whole deal, if one regards the whole race as one person. However if you were one of Abraham's true genetic seed, then you were a lot better off in the blessings period that you were in the cursings period, from a physical point of view!
But then with the advent of Christianity, statistically speaking, one is at the end of the day, better off being physically disadvantaged, because then one's eyes are more likely open to spiritual advantage.
So now there is another question being begged:
Q: What is the true position and significance of the Jews today?
A: The same as everyone else.
Their period of being specially blessed has ended and their period of being specially cursed has also ended. Therefore they now have the right to rule themselves. But they do not as far as we can see have any biblical rights to their old promised land. They are in the same position as regard Israel as the Palestinians are. The Jews are not prohibited by God or Jesus from living in the 'Promised Land'. But neither are the Palestinians. Radical Zionism is flawed. The Jews have no scriptural right to live in Israel, but they do have an historical right, the same right as the Palestinians have. If we have this right.
So now another question is being begged:
Q: Why did the Jews suffer the Holocaust?
A: I hate to say it. But since it occurred right at the end of the 2520 year malediction, it now looks very much like the final act in the curse of the law. God could not protect them during that malediction and so Satan took advantage of that since he still hated them. So Satan was able to do a lot of damage. This may be why the state of Israel today no longer relies on God, they rely on military power and nuclear weapons. The real problem for the Jews in Israel today is this: Satan loves to copy God. And God used the sons of Israel for good. He used them to teach the whole world about good, and about love and about himself and he used them to save the whole world through Jesus, who was and is a Jew. Satan is desperate now to use them to teach us all about bad and to use them to destroy the whole world at Armageddon. The Holocaust shows us that he has not forgotten his humiliation inside a Jew named Judas at the hands of a Jew named Jesus.
The national Sabbath keeping obligation on the sons of Israel under this contract was:
2 You should keep my Sabbaths and stand in awe of my sanctuary, I am Jehovah (Leviticus 26).
The penalty for breaching this was:
34 At that time the land will pay of its Sabbaths all the days of its lying desolated, while you are in the land of your enemies. At that time the land will keep Sabbath, as it must repay its Sabbaths.
35
All the days of its lying desolated it will keep Sabbath, for the reason that it did not keep Sabbath during your Sabbaths when you were dwelling upon it (Leviticus 26).
So each missed land Sabbath is repaid year for year. So both houses will face a 70 year exile from their land, since they are jointly and severally liable for each other's actions. For details of these exiles see U122.
Charles Russell, who founded the Watchtower called the period during which God's true people, the sons of the ICC, do not have God as their king the Gentile Times. He identified it with the appointed times of the nations of Luke:
24 And they will fall by the edge of the sword and be led captive into all the nations; and Jerusalem will be trampled on by the nations, until the appointed times of the nations are fulfilled (Luke 21).
In the literal meaning, Jerusalem is plainly physical Jerusalem. So it stopped being trampled upon by Gentiles in 1948 (although the Mosque on mount Moriah still represents a trampling by the nations).
On 2017December6 (2017Chislev13), the properly elected President Donald Trump, officially recognized Jerusalem as the capital of Israel just after 1pm Eastern Time (https://www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-jerusalem-speech-capital-israel-live-stream/) on 2017December6 (2017Chislev13). The US vetoed a UN security council resolution condemning the decision to move the US embassy on 2017December18 (2017Chislev25). The US moved its embassy to Jerusalem on May 14th 2018 at 9:00 am (2018Iyyar27).
The Israeli prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, tweeted: “Thank you, Ambassador Haley. On Hanukkah, you spoke like a Maccabi. You lit a candle of truth. You dispel the darkness. One defeated the many. Truth defeated lies. Thank you, President Trump.” .- the Guardian Newspaper.
Then we have the words of Paul:
9 In that he made known to us the sacred secret of his will. It is according to his good pleasure which he purposed in himself
10
for an administration at the full limit of the appointed times, namely,
to gather all things together again in the Christ, the things in the heavens and the things on the earth. In him (Ephesians 1).
These words apply to the discontinuous Gentile Times, which ends on 2020Tishri15. The ark will have an administration at that time and the sons of the FRC will all be gathered together into that ark. Whereas those left on the ground will be gathered together into Zoar and into the OMC, the Omega Covenant of Jesus Christ. So yes, there will be an earthly administration gathering Abraham together into the OMC and a heavenly administration gathering FRC people to Jesus in the ark.
10 for an administration at the full limit of the appointed times, namely, to gather all things together again in the Christ, the things in the heavens and the things on the earth. [Yes,] in him, (Ephesians 1 NWT)
Isaiah too prophesies the end of paying for an error period:
1 Comfort,
comfort my people, says the God of you men.
2 Speak to the heart of Jerusalem and call out to her that her military service has been fulfilled, that her error has been paid off [on 2019Tishri5, the end of the 5250 day payback of her weekly and Atonement day less incarceration Sabbath error and on
2020Tishri15, the end of the Quad gapped Gentile Times, for her idolatry error]. For from the hand of Jehovah she has received manifold for all her sins [is that five 7x maledictions).
3 Listen!
Someone is calling out in the wilderness: Clear up the way of Jehovah, you people! Make the highway for our God through the desert plain straight (Isaiah 40 NWT amended by footnote for Job11:6, and Ben Davidson's Analytical Hebrew and Chaldee Lexicon).
This shows that after Jerusalem has paid 'manifold'/many times (in fact 7 times) for her sins, in fact for her and Israel's combined national idolatry error (360 years), then her military service can stop. In other words they will not need to protect themselves any more, because God will be their protection again, which is what he does as their king. So God becomes King over Abraham's seed again at the end of a Gentile Times malediction. And guess who is calling out in the wilderness ?
1 In those days John the Baptist came preaching in the wilderness of Judea,
2 saying:
Repent, for the kingdom of the heavens has drawn near.
3 This, in fact,
is the one spoken of through Isaiah the prophet in these words: Listen! Someone is crying out in the wilderness, Prepare the way of the Lord, you people! Make his roads straight (Matthew 3).
John the Baptist was the first Elijah. Charles Russell was actually the third - see U201. Russell was calling out in the wilderness at the end of the Continuous Gentile Times, when Jerusalem had paid of its debt.
The Watchtower was the only religion on earth that saw Jesus' coming (which coming follows every Elijah) at that time. So they were appointed to feed on 1901Tishri2 (2NC first fruits) and appointed over all of Jesus' belongings on 1905Nisan17 (1NC first fruits). But the 7 fold penalty applied to the curse of the law and to literal Jerusalem in the literal meaning of Leviticus 26. So the word symbolic meaning of Leviticus 26 must apply to the Gentile Times and to spiritual Jerusalem.
13 I am Jehovah your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt from acting as slaves to them, and I proceeded to break the bars of your yoke and make you walk erect.
14 'However, if you will not listen to me nor do all these commandments,
15 and if you will reject my statutes, and if your souls will abhor my judicial decisions so as not to do all my commandments, to the extent of your violating my covenant,
16 then I, for my part, shall do the following to you, and in punishment I shall certainly bring upon you disturbance with tuberculosis and burning fever, causing the eyes to fail and making the soul pine away. And you will simply sow your seed for nothing, as your enemies will certainly eat it up.
17 And I shall indeed set my face against you, and you will certainly be defeated before your enemies; and those who hate you will just tread down upon you, and you will actually flee when no one is pursuing you.
18 'If, though, despite these things, you will not listen to me, I shall add to the chastising of you 7 times
[??] upon your sins.
19 And I shall have to break the pride of your strength and make your heavens like iron [the saints the sons of the JAC] and your earth like copper [the priests, the sons of the ICC].
20 And your power will simply be expended for nothing, as your earth will not give its yield, and the tree of the earth will not give its fruit.
21 'But if you keep walking in opposition to me and not wishing to listen to me, I shall add upon you [a] blow 7
times [The Quad gapped Gentile Times upon God's people, those in a salvation covenant,
being 7x as much as 360 years of Idolatry by Israel and Judah from 997Tishri to 607Tishri. So being 2520 years long] as your sins.
22 And I will send the wild beasts of the field among you,
and they will certainly bereave you of children and cut off your domestic animals and reduce the number of you, and your roads will actually be desolated.
23 'Nevertheless, if with these things you do not let yourselves be corrected by me and you just have to walk in opposition to me,
24 I, yes, I, shall then have to walk in opposition to you; and I, even I, shall have to strike you 7 times [??] for your sins.
25 And I shall certainly bring upon you a sword wreaking vengeance for the covenant; and you will indeed gather yourselves into your cities, and I shall certainly send pestilence into the midst of you, and you must be given into the hand of an enemy. (Leviticus 26 NWT)
26 In breaking to/for ye the staff of bread [not declare unclean but actually break i.e. finish off your feeding authority in the eyes of the congregation], 10 women shall bake your bread in 1 oven [since there are no men/saints left in the Watchtower. This is a witness to 10x precisely] and [they] shall give back your bread in/by weight;
and ye shall eat, and [ye] shall not be satisfied. (Leviticus 26 GLT)
27 'If, however, with this you will not listen to me and you just must walk in opposition to me,
28 I shall then have to walk in heated opposition to you,
and I, yes, I, shall have to chastise you 7 times
[The Reverted Laodicean Gentile Times from 2023Tishri15 to 2024Iyyar15 on non adamic Abrahamic reverted Laodiceans] for your sins. (Leviticus 26 NWT)
Demetrius II suspended the Gentile Times on covenant Israel (the saints) but did not suspend the Gentile Times on genetic/physical Israel. This must be because Jonathan and Simon Maccabeus were high priests, not kings of Israel. They made no secular laws and therefore were not the secular King of Israel. In fact the high priest, was the sacred king. He could not make secular law in Israel. One cannot be both the high priest and the king. But one can be both the high priest and the leader militarily. However during their leadership, after the letter of Demetrius II of 1 Maccabees 11, no tribute was paid to any foreign Caesar, and their leader did represent God, being a saint and the high priest. Simon must have known that he could absolutely not act as the king whilst being the high priest. But he was a leader representing God so he did suspend the Covenant Gentile Times but not the Israeli/genetic Gentile Times. Whereas modern Israel has a ceremonial president (Reuven Rivlin) who must sign all laws to bring them into force. This guy is essentially the king. The knesset is essentially his advisor. So here is a list of the post malediction kings of Israel (those with authority to sign a law into existence)
