consider their sins, and the priest was to makea blood sacrifice for them. But during the Yearof Jubilee, on the Day of Atonement, the shofarwas sounded again — and there was rejoicing!

Why? For ancient Israel it was becausethe Lord commanded the following during thisJubilee year:

• All debts were forgiven, permanentlywiped out!

• All slaves were set free … Israelites who had gone into debt and been forced into servitude were liberated.

• All rights to family homes andproperty were restored to those whohad lost them.

It was a new day, a second chance, aclean slate — for all Israel to “take back” whatonce was lost.

Today we knowthat this Jubilee symbolizesour forgiveness and freedomin Christ, and His promisesto us of complete restoration!

Dear Friend,

Stay tuned to Cornerstone Network forextended, exciting teaching on Bible prophecyand the Jewish feasts. We are entering a historicseason and are expecting miracles!

During this prophetic time, our goal is toreach as many people as possible, as quickly aspossible, until Jesus returns!

“So you also, when you see these thingshappening, know that the kingdom of God is near.Assuredly, I say to you, this generation will by nomeans pass away till all things take place.Heaven and earth will pass away, but My wordswill by no means pass away” (Luke 21:31-33).

The most prophetically significantseason in our lifetime is here, now!

The signs are amazing:

• The unprecedented rise of terrorist groupslike ISIS, slaughtering Christians and virulent intheir hatred for Jewish people as well.(Revelation 6:10 — the fifth seal is broken to revealthe end-times martyrs)

• The extreme decline in morality across thewestern world and especially in the USA.(2 Timothy 3:1-4—rampant immorality; a clearindicator of the final days)

• As a part of this immorality: the recentSupreme Court decision approving same-sexmarriage and ignoring the biblical sacrament ofmarriage. (Luke 17:26-29—the end-times will belike the days of Noah and Lot—Sodom and Gomorrahwere condemned in part because of homosexual acts.)

• Global hatred toward the ChosenPeople: Even the USA has tragically rebukedand derided Israel, our one-time staunch ally inthe Middle East! (Zechariah 14:2—all nationsgathered against Israel!)

• The signs in the heavens, includingthe four blood moons occurring on or nearJewish feast days ... The final one, on September28, will be the last of such a tetrad for 500 years.Every time in recorded history such a confluencehas occurred, there have been significant eventsfor God’s people!

In the midst of all this, we enter into theHebrew season of Atonement, and into the 70thYear of Jubilee. Although Cornerstone Networkwill bring you more in-depth teaching about thisimportant Jubilee Year in the days ahead, wewant you to have the basics before it begins atsundown on September 22 ...

The Year of Jubilee was established by Godin the Old Testament as a fresh start for anyoneenslaved or in debt (Leviticus 25) — It was as ifGod pushed a restart button to ...

• Restore everything that had been lost, sold, stolen, or traded away.

• Proclaim liberty and freedom tocaptives, slaves, and those in bondage.

• Bring about total reconciliation.• Impart a supernatural season of peace.

This is the season we are entering into thisSeptember. To help us prepare for the amazingblessings in store for us in the Year of Jubilee —and to give us a better understanding of theprophetic days in which we’re living — we’veprepared this brief explanation of the importantJewish holy days associated with this season.

1. Rosh Hashanah: The Feast of Trumpetsand Jewish New Year. This is the day the shofar(an Old Testament trumpet made of a ram’s horn)was sounded. Today it is considered prophetic ofthe Rapture, when the trumpet of the Lord shallsound. This year Rosh Hashanah begins at sundownon September 13. Will this signal the day of Jesus’coming? Grant it, Lord!

2. Yom Kippur: The Day of Atonement.This holiest day of the Jewish year was, in OldTestament times, the only day a priest could enterthe Holy of Holies in the temple to offer a bloodsacrifice for the sins of Israel. We now know Jesus

offered Himself as that perfect sacrifice for all —and Hebrews 9:28 seems to link this sacrifice withHis Second Coming. A prophetic day indeed! YomKippur begins at sunset on September 22 this yearand ends at nightfall on September 23.

3. Sukkot ... the Feast of Tabernacles. Jewish people honor God’sprovision for them in thewilderness, as well asthe blessings of harvest,with this sacred feast.They build makeshift“tabernacles” to live inas a reminder of theirnation’s wanderings. Thisfeast points to Messiah inseveral ways, including the incarnation (whenChrist dwelt, or literally “tabernacled,” with us)and the prophecy of Revelation 21:3 — that “inthe new Kingdom” God’s tabernacle is with men.

These are prophetic feast days, givenby God to the Israelites as the framework ofhow Messiah would fulfill them. And the Yearof Jubilee — a holiday year which could becelebrated only every 50 years — also beginson the Day of Atonement. How are thesetwo prophetic events related?

The Day of Atonement was traditionallya somber one for Israel: the people were to
