I just learned of this in bible study last week. I had never heard of it before. September 13? And this year is the heavy of the cycles?
That’s my (neophyte) understanding.
It is a shame that most Christian denominations utterly fail to teach the Old Testament laws handed down to Eretz Ysrael back in the day. The Shemitah is part and parcel of that law, concerning debt, and other financial matters. Had they not failed to do so, more would understand what is occurring, and more importantly, why.
Yes, this current Shemitah falls on September 13, this year. I need not tell you what occurred at the last Shemitah passing seven years ago, nor the one that fell seven years before that.
And, yes, this is the seventh Shemitah in the current cycle, making next year, under Mosaic law, a Jubilee year. The last such Jubilee year was between Mid-September 1966 to Mid-September 1967. The Jubilee year before that was between Mid-September 1917 to Mid-September 1918. If the pattern holds, and it need not, I would look for the possibility of a major Jewish prophetic event to be fulfilled.
My take, buckle your seat belt, the ride's about to get even bumpier...
