TRANSCRIPT
The End of the Jubilee: High Watch Time Ahead
By T.W. Tramm
WITH THE END of the biblical year at Nisan 1 in sight, it’s a good time to summarize why this is a pivotal
moment, prophetically.
To begin with, not only does Nisan mark the start of a new year and festival season, it contains some of
the most significant anniversaries in Scripture and Jewish tradition.
For instance:
The Hebrew patriarchs, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob were born on Nisan 1 (Rosh Hashanah 10b,
11a).
The Creation of the Universe is believed to have occurred on Nisan 1 (Rosh Hashanah 10b, 11a).
The waters of Noah’s Flood receded to expose dry land on Nisan 1 (Gen. 8:13).
According to at least one messianic scholar, Jesus was born on Nisan 1. Not only do facts and
logic support this claim but the typology makes sense as the spring is when baby lambs are
born.1
The Hebrew slaves were liberated from Egypt in Nisan, earning this month the title “month of
redemption.” According to Rabbi Yehoshua, the final redemption of the Jewish people will occur
in Nisan as well.
And so, Nisan, corresponding to the spring season, is about beginnings, new life, and deliverance. The
earth, the Nation of Israel, and her Redeemer-Messiah, all came into being or were born in this month.
In view of Nisan being a starting point for Israel and her Messiah, it’s fitting that Daniel’s prophetic
countdown to His advent has a Nisan starting point as well. In Daniel 9:25 the angel Gabriel instructs
Daniel to begin counting the years at the issuing of a decree:
“From the issuing of the decree to restore and rebuild Jerusalem until Messiah the Prince will be seven
weeks and 62 weeks...”
There are two biblical decrees commonly applied to verse 25. The first decree was issued in 457 BC by
the Persian King Artaxerxes to Ezra (Ezra 7). The second decree was issued in 444 BC by the same King
Artaxerxes to Nehemiah (Neh. 2). What is remarkable is that, because Daniel’s prophecy works on
multiple levels, one can count the weeks from either decree (457 BC or 444 BC) and arrive at key dates
related to Jesus’ first coming, proving that He is indeed the promised Messiah. Therefore, both decrees
issued by Artaxerxes are relevant to Daniel’s weeks prophecy.
What is further remarkable is that both decrees were issued on the same date: Nisan 1. In Ezra chapter
7 Artaxerxes gives permission to Ezra to lead a band of exiles back to Jerusalem. In verse 9 Ezra begins
his journey from Babylon to Jerusalem “on the first day of the first month,” or Nisan 1. In Nehemiah 2
the second (444 BC) decree by Artaxerxes is issued on Nisan 1 as well (v. 1).2
So no matter which of the two decrees one applies to Daniel’s prophecy, the period of weeks pertaining
to Messiah’s first coming has a starting point in Nisan. Moreover, this prophetic period ends in Nisan as
well with Jesus riding into Jerusalem on the back of a donkey and being crucified soon after.
That Daniel’s prophetic weeks begin and end in Nisan makes sense because they are comprised of
biblical years, which, again, begin an end at Nisan (Ex.12:1). The Nisan start and end point also, however,
raises an interesting question about the anticipated 70th week of Daniel: is it possible this final week,
known as the tribulation period, could have a Nisan starting point as well?
Having established that Nisan is a significant time prophetically, particularly as the start and end point of
Daniel’s weeks, let’s zero in on some factors that make the coming Nisan significant.
ECLIPSE ANNIVERSARY
Nisan 1 this year marks the third anniversary of a one-of-a-kind total solar eclipse that occurred in 2015.
At the time, the “four blood moons” flanking the Nisan 1 solar eclipse garnered most of the attention.
However, the off-the-charts rarity of the solar sign in the middle suggests it was communicating
something vital.
One reason the 2015 eclipse was rare is that it coincided with the spring equinox. For perspective, a
total solar eclipse occurs on the spring equinox only one other time in the roughly 750-year period
spanning 1662-2406.3 Making this convergence even more noteworthy is the fact that, according to the
Talmud, the sun was initially created in its vernal equinox position on Nisan 1. Owing to this tradition, on
the rare occasions Nisan 1 coincides with the equinox, a special blessing known as Birkhat Hachama, or
“Blessing of the Sun,” is recited: “Blessed are You, LORD, our God, King of the Universe maker of the
works of Creation.”
Additionally, the 2015 eclipse was a rare “super moon” eclipse, which means the Moon was at its closest
possible distance from Earth when it passed in front of the Sun.
A final factor making the 2015 solar eclipse rare was its path, crossing directly over the northernmost
part of the globe. In view of the ancient Jewish tradition that solar eclipses are warning signs to the
Gentile world, it’s difficult to imagine a more fitting location from which to issue a sign to the whole
world than from the northernmost tip of the globe, the one spot on earth where the longitudinal lines
that cross every major landmass converge.
All things considered, how rare was the total solar eclipse in 2015?
A total solar eclipse at the North Pole on the first day of spring is said to occur once every 100,000 years.
For such an eclipse to also occur on Nisan 1, however, is entirely unprecedented as the earth has,
according to the Bible, only existed for about 6,000 years.4
In light of the many scriptures stating “the sun will be turned to darkness and the moon to blood before
the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD,” it goes without saying that an unparalleled solar
eclipse in the middle of four blood moons bears an important message. Moreover, that this eclipse
occurred on Nisan 1 is no coincidence and begs the question: Why is God directing our attention to this
date? Is it to raise awareness of the true biblical New Year, or perhaps the calendar and appointed times
in general? Or is there a more specific reason?
END OF THE JUBILEE
Another reason the coming Nisan is special is that it marks the end of a jubilee year. In view of God’s
propensity to allow the maximum time for repentance, is it possible He could be waiting until the “last
day” (John 6:40) to redeem the Church and reclaim the earth from Satan? 5
Some would say the Rapture cannot happen between now and Nisan 1 because Jesus can only return on
a feast day. A popular theory is that He will return at the Feast of Weeks, or Pentecost, which arguably
typifies the harvest of the Church better than any other festival.
Note the typologies:
Pentecost celebrates the grain harvest.
Pentecost is linked directly to the Church (Acts 2).
Pentecost is associated with the wedding of a Gentile Bride to a Jewish redeemer (Ruth).
Pentecost is situated parenthetically in-between the other two harvest festivals (Firstfruits and
Tabernacles), signifying the parenthetical Church Age.
Pentecost is celebrated after a countdown of 49 days (seven weeks), on the 50th day.
Pentecost has no fixed date in Scripture, thus “no man knows the day.”
Sounds like the rapture of the Church, right? The problem with the Pentecost rapture scenario at this
point is that it puts the Church’s redemption OUTSIDE the year of redemption, which, again, ends at
Nisan.
This causes us to consider a slightly different scenario. Is it possible Pentecost is pointing not to the day
of the Rapture, but rather the Jubilee? 6 As most are aware, Pentecost’s observance on the 50th day
makes it a type of the Jubilee. Moreover, the lack of a fixed date creates an air of mystery regarding the
day typified by this festival. These typologies, together, make plausible the notion that Pentecost is not
about the day of the Rapture but, rather, its occurrence on an unknown day during a jubilee year.
This scenario is scriptural as it corresponds to the Bible’s teaching that we will know the general
timeframe of the Rapture but not the day (1 Thess. 5; Matt. 24:36, 44). Other possible scenarios, which
have the Rapture occurring on a feast day outside the jubilee year, or on an indefinite day in an
indefinite year, do not correspond well to the biblical teaching that we will know generally but not
precisely the time of the Lord’s return. Therefore, despite preconceptions about the Rapture occurring
on a feast, or at a particular time of year, it is scripturally plausible that it could happen between now
and Nisan 1, the last day of the Jubilee.
THE TURN OF THE SEASON
Based on the moon-phase charts available on the web, the first sighted crescent of the new moon
nearest the vernal equinox (Nisan 1) is anticipated to occur March 18.7 This date falls precisely in-
between the two astronomical/meteorological events which mark the turn of the season from winter to
spring: March 16 marks the equilux, the day when the hours of daylight become exactly equal to the
hours of darkness at Jerusalem’s latitude.8 A few days later, March 20, marks the astronomically
calculated equinox, the point at which the center of the solar disk crosses the celestial equator and
Earth’s axis is perpendicular to the Sun’s rays.
On any regular day of the year, either the Southern or Northern Hemisphere tilts toward the Sun. At
the equinox, however, the tilt of Earth’s axis is perpendicular to the Sun’s rays.
Why is the day of equal light and darkness not the equinox? Two reasons: First, astronomers calculate
the equinox from the center of the Sun’s disc, while “sunrise,” or daylight, technically begins when the
Sun’s outer edge appears over the horizon. Second, an optical phenomenon called atmospheric
refraction bends the Sun’s light as it passes through Earth’s atmosphere, causing the Sun to appear
slightly higher on the horizon than it is in reality. Owing to these factors, the equilux, not the equinox, is
the day when a precise balance in the observable amount of daylight and darkness occurs and the
minutes of day begin to rapidly increase over those of night. It is the increase in light and warmth that
causes plants to grow and is why God attaches the spring harvest festivals to the equinox.9
Another reason the equinox is important, biblically, pertains to the constellations as signs in the
heavens. Book’s like E.W. Bullinger’s Witness of the Stars explain how, before God’s word was found in
written form, His Plan of Redemption was written in the stars via the constellations. As Earth spins on its
axis and orbits the Sun over the course of months, years, and millennia, the solar disc appears to pass
through each of the constellation signs, highlighting various aspects of the Plan.
That the sun and constellations are a means by which the Lord communicates a message without sound
or word is related in Psalm 19:
“The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands. Day after day they pour
forth speech; night after night they reveal knowledge. They have no speech, they use no words; no sound
is heard from them. Yet their voice goes out into all the earth, their words to the ends of the world. In the
heavens God has pitched a tent for the sun. It is like a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, like a
champion rejoicing to run his course. It rises at one end of the heavens and makes its circuit to the other;
nothing is deprived of its warmth” (Psalm 19:1-6).
Because the spring equinox determines the biblical year, the constellation in which the sun rises and
sets on this day is significant. At present, the sun rises and sets in Pisces at the equinox, highlighting and
emphasizing this constellation above the others.
It’s important to understand that the Sun has not always risen in Pisces at the equinox. Due to a
phenomenon called “precession,” caused by a wobble in the Earth’s axis, the spring and fall equinoxes
appear to slowly drift west along the ecliptic over time. Consequently, at different times in history the
equinox has coincided with different signs. For instance, around the time of biblical creation, the
equinoctial sun was in Taurus, the sign of the bull. By the time of the Exodus, the sun had receded into
Aries, the sign of the ram or lamb. By the time of Jesus’ first coming, the equinoctial sun was receding
into Pisces, the sign of the fishes, where it is still found today. The next sign to see the equinoctial sun
will be Aquarius, at which time the “Age of Aquarius” will begin.
Remember the famous 1969 song about the coming golden age?
When the moon is in the Seventh House
And Jupiter aligns with Mars
Then peace will guide the planets
And love will steer the stars
This is the dawning of the Age of Aquarius…
With the understanding that God uses the constellations to communicate His Plan of Redemption and
that we are currently living at the end of the Age of Pisces, it’s both fascinating and edifying to consider
the biblical symbolism attached to the sign of the two fishes.
PISCES MEANING
The sign of Pisces is pictured as two large fishes bound together by a band, the ends of which are
fastened separately to their tails. One fish is represented with its head pointing upward, toward the
North Polar Star; the other is shown at a right angle, swimming along the line of the ecliptic.
The ancient Egyptian name for Pisces is Pi-cot Orion, or Pisces Hori, which means “the fishes of Him that
cometh.” The Hebrew name for Pisces, Dagim, the fishes, denotes multitudes, as in Genesis where God
says, “Be fruitful and multiply” and where Jacob blesses Joseph’s sons and says, “Let them grow into a
multitude in the midst of the earth” (1:28; 48:16).
Some commentators suggest that the fish of Pisces represent exclusively the multitudes of Israel.
However, most agree that the symbolism is indicative of the Church as well. One of the most obvious
signifiers of the Church is the symbolism of the fish. Jesus establishes the link between fish and
Christians when He calls His disciples “fishers of men” in Matthew (4:19). Since the earliest days of the
Church, the fish has been a symbol of Christianity. Even water baptism, practiced by immersion in the
early church, created a parallel between fish and converts. Second-century theologian Tertullian put it
this way: “We, little fishes, after the image of … Jesus Christ, are born in the water.” 10
In view of the association of fish with Christianity, it’s not surprising that pagan astrologers have
historically considered Pisces the most unfavorable of signs, its influence reckoned as malignant,
bringing death and violence. The Egyptian hieroglyph for hatred and odiousness was a picture of a fish,
while Assyrian and Babylonian astrologers purportedly refused to even eat fish.
Another way Pisces symbolizes the Church is via the picturing of two fish. Why is this sign comprised of
not merely one fish but two? The two fish represent two distinct groups: Israel and the Church and/or
the Old and New Testament saints. Included in the ranks of the saints are those who will come to Christ
during the Tribulation, i.e. “tribulation saints.”
And so, generally speaking, the two fish depict two distinct groups, Jew and Gentile, or Israel and the
Church, the latter body being made up of both believing Jews and Gentiles. The upward oriented fish
depicts the heavenly calling of the Church and the horizontal fish pictures Israel, the inheritors of the
physical blessings promised Abraham.
Yet another element linking Pisces to the Church is a separate constellation called the Band, which
unites the two fishes. The ancient Egyptian name for the Band is U-or, which means “He cometh.” The
Arabic name is Al Risha, the band, or bridle.
In one respect the Band speaks of two distinct groups inextricably linked, i.e. Israel and the Church.
However, the Band also speaks of God’s unloosing of the bands with which both groups have been
bound so long, evoking the jubilee theme of “freedom for the captives” (Luke 4:18).
The constellations located nearby or which overlap Pisces enhance our understanding of what is being
depicted by the sign of the two fishes. The Band which binds the fishes is fastened to the neck of the sea
monster, the constellation Cetus. Immediately above is seen a woman chained as captive, pictured by
the constellation Andromeda. Additionally, the paws of Aries are stepping on the Band connecting the
fishes as though about to loosen it and set the captives free. Not far above, the crowned King pictured
by the constellation Cepheus is seen coming quickly to rescue the fishes.
And so, Pisces, along with Cetus, Andromeda, and Cepheus, tell the story of Jesus coming quickly to
redeem and liberate the multitudes by breaking the bonds with which Satan holds them captive. The
sign thus foretells the deliverance of all believers from the slavery of sin and death, corresponding to the
jubilee statute of redemption (Lev. 25).11
Needless to say, it’s fascinating that the sign depicting the redemption of both Gentile and Jew has been
highlighted by the equinox sunrise for around two millennia, from the days when Jesus first walked the
earth until today. With this in mind, let’s take a closer look at the position of the equinoctial sun at
opposite ends of this 2,000-year timespan.
THE EQUINOCTIAL SUN IN PISCES: 33AD VERSUS 2018
As mentioned earlier, over the course of time, the sun appears to travel through the various
constellations, highlighting different portions of the redemption story. Relevant to the notion of the sun
being “God’s highlighter,” earth’s nearest star actually symbolizes the Lord in Scripture: “The Lord God is
a sun” (Psalm 84:11). Therefore, the sun may in symbolic terms be seen as the Lord Himself, pointing us
to various aspects of His Plan at different times.
The Sun is not the only heavenly body associated with God. The Planet Venus, the bright morning star
that appears in the eastern sky just before sunrise, symbolizes Jesus who is called the “bright and
morning star” in Revelation (22:16).
Thus, the Sun and Venus—the only two objects in our solar system mentioned in Scripture aside from
the Moon and Saturn12—symbolize God and Jesus. Bearing this in mind, consider the exact locations of
these two objects relative to Pisces 2,000 years ago as opposed to today in 2018.
The location of the Sun and Venus at the spring equinox in 33 AD (left) versus today in 2018 (right)
Notice in the image at left (equinox 33 AD) the sun is near the first fish of Pisces, specifically where the
paws of Aries cross over the band holding it captive.13 The Planet Venus, the second brightest dot in the
image, is directly on the band.
In the image at right (equinox 2018), the Sun is near the second fish of Pisces. The Planet Venus is, once
more, seen close by, near the end of the band holding the fish captive.
The sun’s left-to-right travel over the course of millennia, again, makes sense astronomically because,
due to precession, the solar disc appears to move in this direction through the constellations. What is
fascinating—though not surprising in view of God’s use of the heavenlies for signs—is that the sun’s
transit from left to right also makes sense prophetically, depicting the redemption of two distinct groups
at two different times. The sun’s location near the second fish of Pisces today signifies that the time of
Israel’s redemption, and thus the tribulation period, is at hand.
Having shined a spotlight on the spring equinox, this should by no means be taken as a prediction that
the Rapture will occur on this day. While Jesus certainly could return on the day of the equinox, a time
most would not expect (Matt. 24:44), He could also return on any other day, including today. The point
of this study is to simply show how the Lord’s “constellation clock” in the heavens indicates we’re on the
cusp of a new age, which brings us to the constellation the equinoctial sun is set to transit into next.
Aquarius, the water bearer
Aquarius, the water bearer, pictures a man pouring forth water from an urn which seems to have an
inexhaustible supply. The water flows forth downward into the mouth of a fish, who receives it and
drinks it up. Aquarius, therefore, pictures the living waters of God’s blessing being poured out on the
redeemed during the millennial reign of Jesus Christ.
Because the boundaries man has assigned the constellations may not agree with the ones the Creator
has set, and because there are different ways of calibrating precession to determine the “age” we are in,
it’s difficult to say when exactly the Age of Aquarius begins.14 Nonetheless, the convergence of a host of
other biblical signs and timelines confirms that we are in that time!
SUMMARY AND CONCLUSION
Having covered much ground in this article, let’s briefly review why the end of the biblical year at Nisan
1 is a pivotal time:
Nisan is associated with significant anniversaries such as the birth of Jesus, the creation of the
world, and the Exodus from Egypt. These typologies and others make Nisan a time of new
beginnings, deliverance, and redemption.
Nisan marks the start and end point of Daniel’s first set of prophetic weeks, begging the
question: might Nisan mark the start point of the final week as well?
Nisan 1 this year marks the third anniversary of a momentous solar sign for the world.
Nisan 1 this year falls precisely in-between the equilux and equinox, the days which mark the
turn of the season from winter to spring.
The equinoctial/springtime position of the sun in Pisces confirms we’re living in the time of
Israel’s redemption.
Concerning the advent of spring being a pivotal time prophetically, we should note that a number of
scriptures and typologies not mentioned in this article support this notion as well. For instance, the
“spring rains” are associated with Jesus’ return:
“As surely as the sun rises, he [the Lord] will appear; he will come to us like the winter rains, like the
spring rains that water the earth” (Hos. 6:3).
“Be patient … until the Lord’s coming. See how the farmer waits for the land to yield its valuable crop,
patiently waiting for [both] the autumn and spring rains” (James 5:7).
Notice the autumn/winter rains, connected to the season of planting, come first. Next, and finally, come
the spring rains, connected to the year’s end and harvest time. In Israel, the spring rains occur in March-
April, corresponding to Nisan.
Another passage linking springtime to Jesus’ return is the Song of Solomon 2 in which a shepherd comes
to gather and spirit away his beloved, a Shulammite (Gentile) maid:
“For lo, the winter is past, the rain is over and gone. The flowers appear on the earth; the time of singing
has come, and the voice of the turtledove is heard in our land. The fig tree puts forth her green figs, and
the vines with the tender grapes give a good smell. Rise up, my love, my fair one, and come away!” (Song
2:11-13).
Multiple clues, namely the passing of winter and the appearance of flowers, leave no doubt as to the
time of the shepherd’s coming: the beginning of spring.
Finally, the onset of spring corresponding to the end of the Jubilee at Nisan makes this a crucial time
indeed. That being said, it must also be said that the presumption of a Jubilee does not guarantee that
the Rapture will occur on or before Nisan 1. Because we only see in part (1 Cor. 13:12) and because we
are merely human, there is always a chance we could be missing something or that our calendar
reckoning is off.
What IS certain is that multiple factors, namely the jubilee typologies, the 50-year pattern established by
events in 1917 and 1967, and the historic accuracy of Daniel’s weeks prophecy, qualify the timeframe
between now and Nisan 1 as the HIGHEST of high-watch windows.
So keep watch!
If the Lord does not return within this window, do not be disheartened but keep looking up and trusting
in what the Spirit is confirming in the awake and watching Church—that He is coming soon, very soon.

5. Revelation depicts the jubilee statute of land going back to its original owner, God, at the Rapture: In chapter 4
John is caught up to heaven at the sound of a trumpet (Rapture). Next, a sealed scroll, understood to represent the
“title deed to earth,” is handed to Jesus (a picture of the Land going back to its Owner). In Isaiah 63:4 the Lord is
seen executing judgment on the earth because the “year to redeem” (Jubilee) had come.
6. Considering the year of jubilee to be an appointed time by itself, one could argue that no individual feast boasts
a more explicit or precise rapture typology than its primary theme of redemption. Some contend that the Jubilee
will be fulfilled at the end of the Tribulation pertaining to Israel, but the jubilee typologies better correspond to the
redemption of the Church at the Rapture:
In the Book of Ruth a Gentile bride is redeemed via marriage to a Jewish kinsman (a picture of the Church
being wed to Messiah).
Paul, the Apostle to the Gentiles, speaks of the redemption of our bodies “when the children of God are
revealed” at Jesus’ coming (Rom. 8:18-23; Eph. 1:13, 14; 4:30).
The Lord, speaking to the founders of the Church, says that when we see certain signs we are to look up
because our redemption draws near (Luke 21:28).
In Revelation the just-raptured saints in heaven are said to be redeemed (Rev. 5:9).
7. Another method of reckoning the calendar, based on the teaching that Nisan 1 is the first new moon after the
spring equinox, has Nisan 1 corresponding to April 18 this year. The popular teaching is that Nisan 1 is the new
moon nearest (on either side) of the spring equinox. Applying this method, Nisan 1 corresponds to March 18.
8. The exact times of sunset and sunrise, and thus the time when day and night are equal, varies with the
observer’s location on the globe. In Jerusalem, the city God uses as His “clock,” equal day and night occur March

9. “Celebrate the Festival of Weeks [spring/summer harvest] with the firstfruits of the wheat harvest, and the
Festival of Ingathering at the [equinoctial] turn of the year” (Ex. 34:22 NIV). The word “turn” in this verse is
translated from the Hebrew tekufah. The plural form, tekufot, means “seasons”—literally, “circuit, to go round”
[the Sun, as in the equinox]

11. Compilation of excerpts from various sources, including Bullinger, pertaining to the biblical meaning of Pisces:

12. Saturn is alluded to in Amos 5:26 as the star Kaiwan, or Chiun, worshipped by the Israelites in the desert.
Understanding Saturn to be an object of pagan deity worship, behind which lies Satan, the one who desires to be
worshipped like God, it’s interesting to note that on the spring equinox in 2018 the Planet Saturn is found in
Sagittarius. Sagittarius, the sign of the Archer, is commonly linked to the scripture in Revelation describing the
opening of the sixth seal and the going forth of a rider on a white horse: “I watched as the Lamb opened the first of
the seven seals. Then I heard one of the four living creatures say in a voice like thunder,“Come!” I looked, and there
before me was a white horse! Its rider held a bow, and he was given a crown, and he rode out as a conqueror bent
on conquest” (Rev. 6:1-2). Thinking of the equinox as a time when the antichrist/Satan goes forth, it’s interesting
that the main pyramid at Chichen Itza, Mexico, notorious for the bloody human sacrifices that used to take place
there, is built in such a way that on the day of the equinox, shadows create the illusion of an enormous serpent of
sunlight descending the steps running from the top to the bottom of the structure.
13. The fact that the paw of Aries crosses over a separate constellation, the Band which binds the two fishes of
Pisces, illustrates why there can be debate as to which constellation the sun is in.
