“And it came to pass at the end of the four hundred and thirty years, even the selfsame day it came to pass, that all the hosts of the Lord went out from the land of Egypt.

It is a night to be much observed unto the Lord for bringing them out from the land of Egypt: this is that night of the Lord to be observed of all the children of Israel in their generations.”  Exodus 12:42-42

God made sure to emphasize the extreme danger to Israel of not complying with the Laws and Ordinances for which they agreed to obey, they were without excuse for what followed:

Not once but four separate times God admonished Israel that if they did not keep his commandments, which includes the Jubilee rest for the land not just for the people, to allow the land its required Sabbath rest under the law, if they did not keep his Holy Covenant they would be punished ‘seven times’ more,

1- “And if ye will not yet for all this hearken unto me, then I will punish you seven times more for your sins.”
2 –“And if ye walk contrary unto me, and will not hearken unto me; I will bring seven times more plagues upon you according to your sins.”
3 –“Then will I also walk contrary unto you, and will punish you yet seven times for your sins.”
4- “Then I will walk contrary unto you also in fury; and I, even I, will chastise you seven times for your sins.”

Leviticus 26: 18; 21; 24; 28

“And I will make your cities waste, and bring your sanctuaries unto desolation, and I will not smell the savour of your sweet odours. And I will bring the land into desolation: and your enemies which dwell therein shall be astonished at it. And I will scatter you among the heathen, and will draw out a sword after you: and your land shall be desolate, and your cities waste.”

Why is God doing this?

(written in the Law of Moses)

“Then shall the land enjoy her sabbaths, as long as it lieth desolate, and ye be in your enemies’ land; even then shall the land rest, and enjoy her sabbaths. As long as it lieth desolate it shall rest; because it did not rest in your sabbaths, when ye dwelt upon it.” Leviticus 26:31-35

“Then said I, Lord, how long? And he answered, Until the cities be wasted without inhabitant, and the houses without man, and the land be utterly desolate,” Isaiah 6:11

(as prophesied by Isaiah 150 years before the first captivity, but knowing there would also be a second captivity as shown in Isaiah 11:11 and we are witnesses to it today)

“Wherefore my fury and mine anger was poured forth, and was kindled in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem; and they are wasted and desolate, as at this day.” Jeremiah 44:6

(As witnessed by Jeremiah pleading for Jerusalem to be spared)

“To fulfil the word of the LORD by the mouth of Jeremiah, until the land had enjoyed her sabbaths: for as long as she lay desolate she kept sabbath, to fulfil threescore and ten years.” 2 Chronicles 36:21

(As understood by Daniel to be 70 years, and yet he is confused as to why Jerusalem is still in rubble after the 70 years is complete)

“in the first year of his reign, I, Daniel, understood from the Scriptures, according to the word of the LORD given to Jeremiah the prophet, that the desolation of Jerusalem would last seventy years.” Daniel 9:2

(The Holy Temple is desolate for the Lords sake)

“As it is written in the law of Moses, all this evil is come upon us: yet made we not our prayer before the LORD our God, that we might turn from our iniquities, and understand thy truth.” Daniel 9:13

And this is why God provided the most detailed and precise timing record in all of scripture to Daniel, he was confused as to how the 70 years had now been accomplished as the will of God was fulfilled and yet Jerusalem was still in ruins two hundred miles to the West, and this is why Satan fought so hard to prevent Gabriel’s message from reaching Daniel, because Satan understood that once God permitted it to be revealed and Daniel recorded it in the ‘scripture of truth’ as Gabriel referred to Gods word through the prophets, it then placed a precise timing element upon his Earthly rule and kingdom and became a direct witness as to the the arrival of the Messiah and to proclaim his ‘very day’ to take absolute authority over this fallen Earth, restoring it with the Jubilee prophesied in Isaiah 61 and to then reign upon the Throne of David forever.

Moses warned them prior to entering the promised land that their cities and sanctuaries (Holy Temple) would be left desolate and burned with fire,

Seven times more for your sins,

After 490 years of not keeping the Law.  God required the 70 years they had neglected to honor.

70 years were accounted for by God upon Israel. The destruction of Jerusalem was not a requirement or needed to fulfill his Holy Laws and Ordinances.  The destruction of Jerusalem and the Holy Temple occurred because they refused to acknowledge their transgression and had to pay for that transgression with the number of years required to allow the land to lie fallow. So Jerusalem and the Temple, the heart and soul of Israel was taken away from them,

With Nebuchadnezzar as the head of gold of the world powers, the first of four that God would allow and use to fulfill his will. Jeremiah told them to go to Babylon to plant vineyards and to settle in, they would be watched over, they would be there 70 years, Jeremiah had the unenviable task to oversee the fall of his nation, first to plead with them before it occurred and then to record it as it happened.  Jerusalem and the Holy Temple did not have to be destroyed.

Ezekiel and Daniel were both carried away into captivity during those three sieges. God made sure Israel was not left without help or his word as a witness,

(Israel began the Jubilee but then withdrew it, so God himself declares a Jubilee for Israel)

“Therefore thus saith the LORD; Ye have not hearkened unto me, in proclaiming liberty, every one to his brother, and every man to his neighbour: behold, I proclaim a liberty for you, saith the LORD, to the sword, to the pestilence, and to the famine; and I will make you to be removed into all the kingdoms of the earth.”  Jeremiah 34:17

Ezekiel was given the day for a year equation,

“Lie thou also upon thy left side, and lay the iniquity of the house of Israel upon it: according to the number of the days that thou shalt lie upon it thou shalt bear their iniquity. For I have laid upon thee the years of their iniquity, according to the number of the days, three hundred and ninety days: so shalt thou bear the iniquity of the house of Israel. And when thou hast accomplished them, lie again on thy right side, and thou shalt bear the iniquity of the house of Judah forty days: I have appointed thee each day for a year.“ Ezekiel 4:4-6

390 + 40 = 430 years

430 years minus the 70 in Babylon =  360 years remaining.

Ezekiel is told of 430 years total,  70 years were required for their present captivity in Babylon, leaving another 360 years never accounted for and of which biblical history is silent,

Israel paid for the 70 years, they would not be required to pay for it again,

7 times more if they returned and did not fulfill the law as it is written,

7 x 360 years = 2520 years (907,200 days)

Israel has been restored to the land the second time, there is only ‘the second time’  Isaiah 11:11 was written a century before they would be taken away the first time beginning with the three sieges of Nebuchadnezzar in July of 606 BC to the 9th day of AV in 587 BC.

In the same manner and distance they were taken away during the days of Jeremiah, Ezekiel and Daniel, Israel has been restored in our day and is waiting for a Jubilee.

“And this I say, that the covenant, that was confirmed before of God in Christ, the law, which was four hundred and thirty years after, cannot disannul, that it should make the promise of none effect.” Galatians 3:17
