IS 7-YEAR BIBLICAL 'TRIBULATION' ABOUT TO START?
Shemitah
cycle could be key
Millions of investors concerned
about the Shemitah cycle are watching stock markets and economies in these dark
days of September.
Will the Dow crash, they wonder, like it did in the
past two Shemitah years, 2001 and 2008, or will the dollar collapse and take
the U.S. economy down with it?
Not Mark Biltz.
The founder and pastor of El Shaddai Ministries is
watching for something much bigger.
The start of the Tribulation.
Biltz, author of “Blood Moons: Decoding the Imminent Heavenly Signs,” is not predicting that the Tribulation will start with the beginning of
a new seven-year cycle at sundown on Sunday, Sept. 13. But if it doesn’t start,
then he says it likely won’t for at least another seven years.
That’s because God operates according to seasons
that follow the biblical Old Testament feast days, he said.
“The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob is trying to
get the attention of the entire world, and His people in particular, of the
need to get on His calendar cycle.
One of the ways He does that is through signs in
the heavens, including lunar and solar eclipses, which of course have to do
with calendars. A total lunar eclipse or “blood moon” occurs on Sept. 28, which
is the Feast of Tabernacles. It’s the last of four blood moons, all falling on
Jewish feast days, over the past 18 months, a rare “tetrad” of lunar eclipses.
And it’s not like one has to search very long for
signs that the Tribulation could be about to commence. Read here how
Christians are being slaughtered across the world while the historically
Christian nations of Europe and America ignore their cries, jumping instead to
take in Muslim migrants and thousands of potential jihadist enemies.
“The Muslims, Hindus, Chinese, Christians … all
have created their own calendar system, but God is putting the world on
notice that His is the one that really matters,” Biltz told Charisma magazine.
The religious leaders in Jesus’ day were rebuked
for “not understanding the signs of the times,” Biltz said. “God is again
using the signs in the heavens to get our attention that we need to get
connected to the Shemitah cycle to properly understand prophecy.”
Biltz believes the prophet Daniel’s “70 weeks”
prophecy was based on the Shemitah cycle.
The one remaining “week,” which is seven years
according to Daniel’s prophecy, is that period Christians refer to as the
Tribulation, and Biltz believes it will be a Shemitah week.
“Therefore the Tribulation week has to begin at the
beginning of a Shemitah cycle. The seven-year Tribulation cannot begin
just anywhere. It will not begin in just a random year on our pagan calendar,”
Biltz said.
The Jewish new year, Rosh Hashanah, which starts at
sundown Sunday, Sept. 13, begins a new seven-year cycle.
“If the Tribulation does not start this fall, then
it cannot start for (at least) seven more years,” Biltz said. “May the Lord
give us at least one more Shemitah week or seven more years for the body of
believers worldwide to come into this understanding of participating in
the feasts that they may be ready.”
The Shemitah was introduced to Moses at Mount Sinai
as described in the Old Testament book of Deuteronomy. God prescribed an
agricultural cycle that allowed the people work the land for six years, and
then on the seventh year the land was to rest from all sowing and reaping, and
all debts were to be forgiven at the end of the seventh year.
The Shemitah was meant to be a blessing as grain
would be stored up during the six years, allowing for provisions during the
year of rest. But if the Israelites turned away from God the Shemitah would
manifest as judgment.

Author Jonathan Cahn posited in his best-selling book, “The Mystery of
the Shemitah,” that the seven-year pattern has produced major
turning points in history. He connected the pattern to numerous stock-market
crashes, the regathering of the Jewish people in Israel, the reclaiming of
Jerusalem in 1967, and the rise and fall of empires.
