Les explains that Grant Jeffreys, in his book Armageddon and Appointment with Destiny, has come up with interesting figures, and he bases some of this on the Jubilee period of time, especially in Israel's history. A Jubilee was 50 years, and every 50th year was called the year of Jubilee. According to God's law, when He first began dealing with the nation of Israel, the year of Jubilee was the year of new beginnings: all debts were cancelled, all property reverted back to the original owner, and many prisoners were released. Although Israel never practiced it, the Jubilee remained a 50-year period. Jeffreys uses this to show how God's program from Genesis to Revelation seems set in a 7,000-year time frame.
