Year of the Exodus: 1439 B.C.E.

This study aims to demonstrate that the exact year of the Exodus can be attained by utilizing the foundation of the Jubilee Years as revealed in Scriptures.

Delving into the topic’s complexity, we ask: How can a Jubilee Year be connected to the Exodus when its instructions are not given until the book of Leviticus, which is dated to the second year of the Exodus Era?

Even more confounding is the fact that the first Jubilee Year was not observed until well beyond the 40 years of the Israelites’ wandering in the wilderness.

And Yahweh spoke to Moses on Mount Sinai saying, Speak to the sons of Israel and say to them, Without a doubt (1a) YOU SHALL COME INTO THE LAND which I am giving to you (1b) AND THE LAND SHALL HAVE A SABBATH, A SABBATH FOR YAHWEH. (2a) YOU SHALL SOW YOUR FIELD 6 YEARS and you shall prune your vineyard 6 years and shall gather the produce. (2b) AND IN THE 7TH YEAR A SABBATH SABBATHON SHALL BE FOR THE LAND, A SABBATH FOR YAHWEH. Your field you shall not sow and your vineyard you shall not prune. That which grows of itself of your harvest you shall not harvest and the grapes of your unkept vine you shall not gather. A year of sabbathon it shall be for the land. And the Sabbath of the land shall be to you for food, to you and to your male servant and your female servant, and to your hired one and to your tenant, those living among you, and to your cattle and to the beast which is on your land, shall all the produce of it be for food. (Lev. 25: 1-7)

It is essential to notice in the above citation that the Israelites would observe two Sabbath years sometime after entering the land. We shall further demonstrate this point later in our study.

Israel Today – Part 2

If you’re still contemplating the conclusion of our last post, “Israel Today – Part 1”, this follow-up will make things more interesting.

We are now going to address a few other issues, namely the disposition, location, and condition of the nation of Ephraim/Israel, especially in the “Last Days.”

Disposition
Let us first look at the general disposition of the nation of Israel.

Furthermore Yahweh said to me, ‘I have seen this people, and behold, it is a stubborn people. (Deuteronomy 9:13)

You have been rebellious against Yahweh from the day that I knew you. (Deuteronomy 9:24)

Israel Today – Part 1

From a scriptural point of view, it would be worthwhile to provide the scriptural references regarding the unconditional birthright blessing that Yahweh gave to Isaac, Jacob, and the sons of Joseph, Ephraim and Manasseh.

The goal is to determine if any people or nations might meet the conditions of this blessing, thereby validating or challenging the accuracy of the Scriptures.

The following investigation may be quite engaging if you are interested in this exploration.

In Scriptures, an important aspect of the firstborn’s right is the birthright blessing. This blessing occurs when the patriarch of the family, who holds the unconditional blessing, approaches death and needs to pass it on to the son with the legal right to receive it.

Unconditional Blessing
This birthright blessing is cautiously given; once obtained, it is unconditional and cannot be revoked. We start to define the unconditional birthright blessing as it was given to Rebekah by her family.
