In Addition, in Lev 25:9,10. In Hebrew shall return is spelled without a 
vav? Why it comes to the numerical value of 708... It is the Jewish 
year of 5708 (1948) that the state of Israel became a nation.

 One thing to note here is that every 7th year was to be a
Sabbatical year with the Land left to lay fallow.  After
every 7th Sabbatical year was the Yovel or Jubilee year. 
Since the Sabbatical years have not been performed in the
past 50 years the Jubilee can't come.  Israel owes 7
Sabbatical years.  Perhaps judgement will come upon the
earth for 7 years to make up for these 7 lost Sabbatical
years? After those 7 years of Tribulation then the Jubilee
will arrive.

I would agree with you Eddie concerning the Biblical year of Jubilee. 
The Scriptural evidence is to be our only template for the return of
Jesus and His consumation of Jubilee in the world.  Let me speak to
the spiritual side of this issue of jubilee, if I may for a moment. 
The prophetic voice of the Church seems to be hearing, in unity, that
this is a to be a spiritual year of jubilee for the Church.  I refer
you to Isaiah 61.  What is being said prophetically is that this is a
the year of spiritual breakthrough concerning the influence of our
return to our roots.  Verse 4 speaks of the rebuilding of old ruins;
the restoration of old ruins and the restoration of generations of
desolation.  We, as a Church have allowed for our roots to remain in
ruin. God has begun a mighty work in restoring us to the truth of
Jubilee so that we may accept the manifestation of Jubilee in Jesus
when He does return.  The wooing of the Bridegroom for His Bride is
becoming the clarion call brought forth in these days.  The call to
His Divine Romance unto intimacy is the new song being sung.  The call
to intimate relationship is in evidence.  It is grassroots, yet I see
and hear it from many places within the Church.  The Bride is being
called to the Bridal chamber, but this journey of intimacy begins at
the laver and before the altar.  Here, the Lord is exposing our
generational sins and hatreds, our prejudices and our premumptive
arrogances concerning who is the Bride and the truth of the ministry
of jubilee (ie:  to preach the good tidings to the poor, to heal the
brokenhearted, and so on). The numbers of believers who have been hurt
by the Church are being wooed to return to safe places God has
established and is now establishing so that these people might be
restored to fellowship.  Messianic congregations are beginning to
share the same house (the same bedchamber of the Bridegroom) with each
other.  Our congregation is growing in relationship with Roeh Israel
in Aurora, Colorado.  We share the same building and are beginning to
exhange the gleenings of truth He has for each of our congregations. 
I understand it is happening in other places as well.  The two are
becoming one in Christ.  Old wounds are being tended to and healed in
this respect.  I believe we will see more of this work being
established by the Lord.  Generational wounds are being healed and the
truth that there is no longer Jew nor Gentile, but only the Bride is
His love call to believers.  The words of Isaiah 61 were spoken by
Jesus in the synagogue (the temple).  He is speaking those very words
in power to the believers-the very ones He desisres to tabernacle with
and bring into a deeper and more intimate love affair with Him.  Walls
and pillars of an old temple in ruin are being restored in a spiritual
sense within the Body of Christ.  Walls and pillars of a religious
spirit are being brought low in these days.  The trumpet has been set
to His mouth and His call is to His Bride.  His call is for
restoration, intimacy and the Divine Romance.  It is a call that is
not stopped by our walls we erect for our own comfort and well being. 
The feasts are a large part of His love call to His Bride-especially
the Gentile heart.  Captives are being set free from the schakles of
Gentile denominationalism and pagan holidays.  I believe He is telling
us that He has put the trumpet to His mouth and that He has sent the
Holy Spirit before us to prepare us for a Divine Romance that will
bring down old walls and establish the true temple of worship in each
of us in the year ahead.  It seems to be a year of preparation to hear
the woo of the Bride to become the example of His love that the Jew
may embrace and the Gentile may embrace as they are loosed of their
shackles of generations curses and predisposed beliefs. I am hearing
very similar words across the heartland of this country.  I pray it is
the the trumpet call I am hearing and not a luring siren.  Just a few
thoughts for the brethren to ponder.
