Shemita

Shemita

Is it possible that there exists a 3,000 year old mystery that: Is determining America’s future, the world’s future, North Carolina’s and your future? A mystery that has determined the rise and fall of the economy and the collapse of Wall Street? It has pinpointed the greatest stock market crashes in history down to their exact dates? It foretells the rise and fall of nations and what may be the coming fall of America? A mystery that warns of a coming calamity and how to prepare for it? This mystery can discovered in Leviticus 25: 1-12.

Leviticus 25: 1-12 “1And the LORD spake unto Moses in mount Sinai, saying, 2Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye come into the land which I give you, then shall the land keep a sabbath unto the LORD. 3Six years thou shalt sow thy field, and six years thou shalt prune thy vineyard, and gather in the fruit thereof; 4But 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. 5That 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. 6And the sabbath of the land shall be meat for you; for thee, and for thy servant, and for thy maid, and for thy hired servant, and for thy stranger that sojourneth with thee, 7And for thy cattle, and for the beast that are in thy land, shall all the increase thereof be meat. 8And thou shalt number seven sabbaths of years unto thee, seven times seven years; and the space of the seven sabbaths of years shall be unto thee forty and nine years. 9Then shalt thou cause the trumpet of the jubile to sound on the tenth day of the seventh month, in the day of atonement shall ye make the trumpet sound throughout all your land. 10And ye shall hallow the fiftieth year, and proclaim liberty throughout all the land unto all the inhabitants thereof: it shall be a jubile unto you; and ye shall return every man unto his possession, and ye shall return every man unto his family. 11A 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. 12For it is the jubile; it shall be holy unto you: ye shall eat the increase thereof out of the field.”  

Blessings Come From God

This goes back over 3000 years. It determines the rise and fall of nations. It is behind economies collapsing and prospering. God is bigger than any system since He created and allows systems to be in place. In Leviticus 25, is the beginning of the ordinance for the Sabbath, which is also know in the Hebrew as Shemita.

During this year, everything is to have a Sabbath.  Meaning, everything is to rest.  Part of the purpose of the Shemita is to say and point to the truth that all of our blessings come from God.

The last day of the Shemita is Elul 29. On Elul 29, the last day of the civil year, all debts are suppose to be wiped out. The financial accounts of a nation are wiped clean.  Everything starts over because it is a reset.

This day is called the day of the Shemita, which can also mean ‘release’ not only of the land but also of the people. It is intended to be a blessing to let people rest for a year and then have all of your debts wiped out.  

The people were expected to prosper more in the year they didn’t work than all the years that they did work. Farmers in Israel that practice this are more prosperous than farms that don’t honor the Shemita and continue working.  

When Israel disobeys and desires to drive away God the Shemita can be a sign of judgment of a nation that has disregarded God.  Basically, people who have rejected the Lord and his ways have rejected the blessing of the Shemita.

It is very important to understand that God instituted the Shemita and it will be honored if it has to be honored by Him supernaturally.  Whether an individual or nation honors it or not, God has instituted that it is to be honored.  God will enforce the honoring of it Himself.

Financial Realm

In 2001, the World Trade Center buildings (the symbols of Americas economic strength) are destroyed by an Islamic terrorist attack.  One week later Wall Street has one of its greatest collapses on the last day of the Jewish Shemita Year.  2000-2001 Shemita Year – 37% U.S. stock market value wiped out.  Global recession. In the twenty first century, on 9-17-2001 was the other greatest point crash in history and it also happened on the day of the release – Elul 29.

All of world history revolves around the Shemita including the rise and fall of nations. But the question is does the Shemita pattern still exist today? The answer is overwhelmingly YES!

The first realm of the Shemita is that it affects the financial realm. Everyone doesn’t have a farm but we do have economies that may have a recession.  Take a look at some of the following Shemita years just since 1901 and look what history records:

1901-1902 Shemita Year – 46% U.S. Stock market value wiped out.


1917– America rises to power ending World War I.  The rising of the Communist State of the Soviet Union. 1916-1917 Shemita Year – 40% U.S. Stock market value wiped out. German, Austro-Hungarian, Russian and Ottoman Empires collapsed. Britain, the world’s greatest empire was almost bankrupt. The beginning of America to rise to world power. All during this one Shemita year. 1918 H1N1 flu pandemic infecting 33% world population killing between 17-100 million people worldwide.


1930-1931 Shemita Year – 86% U.S stock market value wiped out in the worst financial crisis in modern history. When the Shemita enters into that wipeout time it ushers in the greatest month wipeout in world history.

1938– German Nazis attack Jewish businesses and burn Jewish Synagogues on Kristallnacht (the Night of Broken Glass.) 50% U.S. Stock market value wiped out. Global recession. In 1937-38 Shemita year, Wall Street collapsed on the day the Shemita begins.


1945– Nazi Germany is defeated.  The Atomic bomb is dropped on Japan thus ending World War II.  Japan signs peace treaty the same week of the end of the Shemita year. Britain’s hold on territories. The United States becomes a military super power. The U.S. dollar becomes the world standard currency. The United States is the richest country in the world, and the world’s largest lender nation.    

1959- 1957-58 H2N2 Asian flu pandemic with approximately 17% of world’s population infected with 1-4 million deaths worldwide.

1965-1966 Shemita Year – 23% stock market value wiped out. 1968-69 Hong Kong flu H3N2 pandemic with approximately 14% of world’s population infected with 1-4 million deaths worldwide.

1973– America loses its first war to Vietnam.  1972-1973 Shemita Year – 48% U.S. Stock market value wiped out. Global recession U.S.  Nixon takes America off the Gold standard.  This sets in motion the decline of the U.S. dollar.

1980– The U.S. Supreme Court bans the posting of the Ten Commandments in Public Schools.  Thus God is now completely banned from our public schools in America. 1979-1980 Shemita Year – U.S. and global recession.  

1986-1987 Shemita Year – 33% U.S. Stock market value wiped out.

1993-1994 Shemita Year – Bond market crash.

2001– The World Trade Center buildings (the symbols of Americas economic strength) are destroyed by an Islamic terrorist attack.  One week later Wall Street has one of its greatest collapses on the last day of the Jewish Shemita Year.  2000-2001 Shemita Year – 37% U.S. stock market value wiped out.  Global recession. In the twenty first century, on 9-17-2001 was the other greatest point crash in history and it also happened on the day of the release – Elul 29. 2002- SARS (Secure Acute Respiratory Syndrome) Mini-Pandemic

2008– Exactly seven years later, Wall Street suffers its largest decline. America is now the world’s largest debtor nation. 2007-2008 Shemita Year – 50% U.S. Stock market value wiped out. Global recession. When they went to ring the bell to open the markets in 2008, the bell literally didn’t ring and the people took it as a sign.  On that day happened the greatest point crash ever and it took place on Elul 29 the day of the Shemita, which had been appointed. In Israel on the day that the Orthodox Jews are cancelling debts.  The whole world is cancelling out debts because God is sovereign.  2009 flu pandemic H1N1 infected 11-21% of world’s population with 151,700-575,400 deaths worldwide.

2016– On October 7th and 8th Hurricane Matthew came through eastern North Carolina and untold numbers were unprepared, which is unfortunate but also very curious.  It was shared for NINE months at Great Smyrna that there was going to be a release or collapse during the autumn of 2016 (for more info click here). This warning was accurately predicted to the business community in this Linkedin article on September, 20, 2016, to see just click here. In North Carolina, there were $4.9 billion dollars of damages and losses. Much of the North Carolina’s economy collapsed. There were approximately 20,000 businesses lost or affected negatively. It destroyed or negatively impacted more than 90,000 homes. There were 25 North Carolinians that died directly from this storm. In Robeson County, North Carolina alone, it was reported that more than 5,000 homes and around 7,000 businesses were devastated due to flood waters. For more on this click here. This post exonerates the Lord with evidence that He, being a loving God, warned people of this devastation.

2020COVID-19 Pandemic – Economies collapse around the world.

Economy Downturns Correspond Exactly

Downturns in the economies happen seven years apart! Do they correspond exactly with the Shemita years?  The answer is overwhelmingly YES! All of them happened exactly according to what God’s Word said.

The Shemita determines the time of when these wipeouts happen. Economists have recorded the greatest day crashes always tend to happen around the autumn but have no clarity as to why. The reason why is because it is the time that God appointed for the cleansing of the financial realm.

The Shemita is also a mystery of sevens. How much of Wall Street was wiped away on Wall Street in 2001? Answer is 7%. How much of Wall Street was wiped away on Wall Street in 2008? Answer is 7%. How many points were wiped out on the market in 2008?  Answer is 777 points. This happened on Elul 29 seven years apart.
