The Shemitah, The Blood Moons And The Rise And Fall Of Empires

Isaiah 5:20 Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness;

that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!

Is it possible that the greatest stock-market point crash

in history, having taken place on the day of the Shemitah, would bear the sign of the Shemitah­—the mark of seven?

◦The Seven-Year Mark: The greatest point crash in stock market history happened on the end of the seventh year

and the completion of the seven-year cycle.

◦The Seventh Month: On the evening of the greatest crash, began the month of Tishri. Tishri is the seventh month of the Jewish calendar. Thus the crash took place on the day that ushers in the most sacred of times in the biblical calendar, the seventh month.

◦Seven Hundred Billion: The crash was triggered by the failure of Congress to pass the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act. The bill was a response to the economic implosion of September 2008, an attempt to save the U.S. financial system. The amount chosen for the bailout was $700,000,000,000.

◦Seven Percent—2008: What percentage of Wall Street was wiped out on the last day of the seventh year? Seven percent.

◦Seven Percent—2001: How much of Wall Street was wiped out seven years earlier on the last day of the preceding Shemitah in 2001? Seven percent.

◦Seven-Seven-Seven: How many actual points were wiped out on the last day of the seventh year? Seven hundred seventy-seven (777).

The next "Shemitah" or "Biblical Sabbatical Year" runs from: September 25, 2014 until… September 13, 2015.

While many assume when God created the Sun and the Moon that He did so for light, heat, gravity, and other natural mechanisms, when looking at Genesis 1:14, we learn of four other purposes behind why the lights in the heavens were created and placed where they are.

The Bible says these are for "signs," "seasons," "days," and "years." The Hebrew word for "signs" in this context is owth, a word meaning a "miraculous sign," "omen," or "warning." It signifies, among other things, that God created the heavenly bodies to communicate important matters at particular times to His covenant people. The next reason God created the sun and the moon is for "seasons." Again, in our Western mindset, we figure God is talking about… winter, spring, summer, and autumn (fall).

In Hebrew, the word here is "mow’ed" and is accurately translated as "an appointed time" or "divine appointment" especially related to "sacred seasons" or Feast days.

This same Hebrew word is translated into English in Leviticus 23 as "feast" where it talks about the "Feasts of the Lord." So we have “A Divine Appointed Warning”.

The word "mow’ed" implies that God has a "day timer"

or "calendar" on which He keeps predetermined "appointments" with human history and that are connected with "His Feasts or Holy Days." God the Father knew the year, the month, the day, and the exact time His Son, Jesus, would die and how this event would be played out in fulfilment of the Levitical feasts of Israel. Finally,
