Kings Table Prophetic Jubilees

Each of the ancient Judean Kings appears prophetic as an indicator for some event in the history of one of the ancient tribes. This article introduces the topic.

Background

When the angel Gabriel appeared to Daniel he said that 70 weeks had been decreed for Daniel’s people. What, exactly, those weeks are is unclear. One possible meaning is that a week as used in this prophecy is a Jubilee.

We have more or less assumed this as one possible interpretation in various other parts of this site. What we explore here is one possible second source that confirms this interpretation, what we call here the Kings Table Dates.

What we usually want to find for any prophetic date in the Bible is a second source. One that expands the meaning and gives us more to work with in terms of finding fulfillment in world history. What we need for Gabriel’s prediction is another reference to 70 of something. When we have found it we will have more data for figuring out what Gabriel meant.

Few other references to 70 of something exist for us to crack this puzzle. One such reference involves 70 years both as a standard length of life and also as a length of a king’s life.(Pss 90:10) (Isa 23:15)

The standard life length does not help us much but the clue regarding a kings life gives us something very important. We know almost every Judean’s king’s life, and we typically know something about their stories. No king, for example, lived past 70 years, suggesting that these stories are some how linked. If these kings lives map to the same 70 weeks as Gabriel announced to Daniel, then we have far more data involving these 70 weeks than what is given directly to Daniel.

The table below explores this idea fully. What we do here is take every king’s life and map it to Jubilees. As we will see below this does indeed give us a prophetic outline of world history from Bible times to the present.

As with so many other such stories this does not exactly tell us where to look, only when to look. We must still find other stories that give us more information about each date and what it might mean.

Note: The previous table only includes kings where the years of life before coming to reign are given in the text. This limits the list to a subset of all the heirs of David. This selecting process may have some other significance.

David

This table is listing all the kings from David forward. David is the king with a promise to have a dynasty. That dynasty lasted until the fall of the city of Jerusalem to the Babylonians.

David had 30 years of life before reign and then 40 years of reign. 70 years in total.

As Jubilees, this is 70 * 50 = 3500 years.

Note that 70 Jubilees from the Exodus is a theme in many other stories.

This interval for David, measured from the Exodus, is up in our generation. This seems to be fulfilling in the general fight currently going on over who will rule all the world itself.

Manasseh

King Manasseh was the 2nd longest king in the list above. Manasseh was the only king with a name matched to a tribe. That tribe is the modern USA. See BibleTribes.org/manasseh for full details.

Note the date in the previous table for Manasseh lands the death of Manasseh in April of 1860. This was the start of the US Civil War.

Presumably this was a death to the ideals upon which the USA was founded. States no longer had any rights in the structures that were built after that war.

Jehoiachin

The other king worth noting here is Jehoiachin. He was the 2nd to the last king who reigned on David's throne. He lived in the years just ahead of the Babylonian Captivity.

Jehoiachin did not die in office, but was hauled away captive to Babylon. (2 Kgs 24:15-17) His uncle replaced him, breaking the normal family line flow. He was hauled away about 3 years head of the prophetic date given for him in the table above. His reign, more than any other, represents the end of the line of David in Jerusalem.

The final Babylonian captivity was in 10409 AA. The table above shows his life/reign ending just a few years ahead. So there can be around a decade of tolerance in these intervals, So the Manasseh date from 2010 may have some slop too.
