Prophecy in the News: December 2025

An ancient Essene calendar was found in Cave 4 among the Dead Sea Scrolls. The calendar shows that the year 26 AD was the start of a Jubilee Year. This is a fifty year period of time during which the 50^th year, known as the Jubilee Year, is one of total rest from all labor. The Jews were required to rest themselves, their animals and land. Also on that year, all debts were forgiven, slaves were freed and land was returned back its original owner. This is all a shadow prophecy of the return of Christ and its effects on mankind and nature. While the next Jubilee Year on the Essene calendar would have been 76 AD, Rome destroyed Israel in 70 AD and dispersed the Jews. Therefore, the Jubilee dating system was lost ... until now. Scholars have studied the math calculations used to create the calendar’s dating up to the year 26 AD. Then they continued the calendar forward into the 21st century with a startling result. 

The Jews consider the number 40 as being a very significant as it relates to many major events in the Old Testament. If you take the number 40 and multiple it by 50 years {a Jubilee cycle}, you get 2,000 years. If you add 2,000 to the last accurate date on the Essene calendar or 26 AD, you arrive at the year 2026. So, according to the calendar, the year 2026 could mark the beginning of what some scholars believed to be the final Jewish Jubilee cycle. And the year 2076 would be the last Jubilee year to be celebrated because it would be the year of the Messiah and or the start or continuation of a millennial paradise on earth.

However, according to Scripture, this particular fifty year period would initially experience many major events. Those events include the Resurrection & Rapture, the Tribulation Period, the Gog-Magog War and/or WWIII, the rise of the world leader or Antichrist, the Israeli-Palestinian Peace Treaty, the Abomination of Desolation, the major asteroid strike(s) of Revelation, the War of Armageddon, the Second Coming of Christ, and the establishment of His Millennial Reign. So, it will be a very busy fifty year period for those left behind by the Rapture. You can make sure you are not one of them simply through faith in Christ.

In world news, the US has been destroying speed boats and their crews carrying drug shipments from South America to the Caribbean and then on to America. The drug cartels have now started constructing disposable submarines at a cost of one million dollars each. After delivering the shipments, the subs are intentionally destroyed. The US has developed radar to now locate and destroy these subs and their crews. The cartels are now working on technology that allows the subs to dive deeper and be driven by remote control with no loss of life. The more things change, the more they stay the same.

This month iRobot announced it was declaring bankruptcy. The spokesman stated, “We got stuck in a financial corner that we could not get out of.” Even sadder, upon hearing the news, many Rumba vacuums launched themselves down the nearest staircase.

A Japanese company began marketing a human washing machine. You simply work up the energy to stand and the machine slowly lowers itself down and surrounds you. First there is a presoak cycle followed by a sponging cycle and finally a rinse and blow dry. While the machine works as advertised, buyers of this device are now complaining they are spraining their arms trying to put on socks.
