...Despite the Jewish calendar not being entirely accurate, I believe that it will, nevertheless, be a vehicle God uses in His dealings with His beloved, yet often stiff-necked, Jewish people. Chabad states that the next Shemitah year goes from 20 September 2028 to 9 September 2029.[1] This will be the Jewish year 5789. It follows that the subsequent seven-year cycle will run from 2029 to 2036, with the seventh year, the Shemitah, being from the Feast of Trumpets 2035 to the day before the Feast of Trumpets 2036 (the Jewish year 5796). After that, the following seven-year cycles will run from 2036 to 2043, 2043 to 2050, 2050 to 2057, 2057 to 2064, and 2064 to 2071. This Orthodox Jewish source agrees with Mark Blitz of the Messianic El Shaddai ministries as to the relevant seven-year periods.[2] We are beginning to see how the concept of Shemita cycles fits in with the amazing 70-week prophecy of Daniel.
