Proof that the first rapture cannot take place prior to the start of the 70th week marked by the covenant with the many being confirmed.
Leviticus 25:4 But in the seventh year shall be a sabbath of rest unto the land, a sabbath for the Lord: thou shalt neither sow thy field, nor prune thy vineyard. 5 That which groweth of its own accord of thy harvest thou shalt not reap, neither gather the grapes of thy vine undressed: for it is a year of rest unto the land.
This is why we expect that during the millennial reign there will not be any sowing or reaping for those thousand years. That is a sabbath day. However, this may also apply to the last seven years known as the seventieth week. This may indicate that all who will get saved will get saved in the first six years.
10 And ye shall hallow the fiftieth year, and proclaim liberty throughout all the land unto all the inhabitants thereof: it shall be a jubilee unto you; and ye shall return every man unto his possession, and ye shall return every man unto his family. 11 A jubile shall that fiftieth year be unto you: ye shall not sow, neither reap that which groweth of itself in it, nor gather the grapes in it of thy vine undressed.
Most of us think that the millennial reign will begin with a jubilee year.
But this word helps to confirm the significance of the Shemitah. The seventieth week must begin on a Shemitah year and this proves that the rapture cannot take place prior to the start of the 70th week because prior to the start of the 70th week you have the seventh year of the previous Shemitah and there is no reaping during that year.
