    Don't worry about it Daniel. Several things could be happening, like
those that are able to answer you are caught up in another pressing
discussion and your's just slips by.  Or it may be that you have posed
something that no one is ready to deal with just at this moment....it
may be that the 'wave' you are riding has not exactly 'crested' for
everyone else here....(if you follow the analogy!).

DL>What got me was that the Sys Admin pulled the question from Compuserve
DL>two days after it was posted, and has not responsed back why.

    I don't know what their policy is--hopefully, it was just one of
those quirk things that happen.  I have also posted material here
expecting discussion....but there is total silence in response.  Maybe
it doesn't strike anyone else as important as it appears to us.  Just
shrug it off and keep going.  I wouldn't think that asking when the next
Jubilee year comes round would be considered censorship material, tho...
not from the more academic rather than theologic stance of this
newsgroup/confernce.
   The sticky part of the Jubilee question is when is the startup point.
It would seem that the Judaic view is an unbroken counting--but my
understanding is that while Israel is exiled from the Land, that the
Land is laying in Sabbath rest....Therefore, the land Eretz Yisrael
has been laying in sabbath rest throughout the exile of Jews *as a
nation* from the Land....since 70 AD.  The Jubilee year is the every
50th year of *the Land in use* *to the people of its promise*: the
Jewish people.  Israel officially declared the State of Israel in
1948--if 1948 is ALSO the Heavenly "starting date" of the countdown of
years to Jubilee, then 1997 is the year of Jubilee.....BUT we have a
problem again in this assumption because of the difference in the
calendars---according to the Hebrew calendar, on the 28th of September,
we will enter the year 5753.....so you see the difficulties?  It is not
so easy to answer, as when Jerusalem has ceased to be "trampled
underfoot of the Gentiles".  Some say 1967, some say it is still being
trampled underfoot because of the presence of the Mosque on the Holy
Mount....Yeshua said that exact timing belonged to G-d, that we would
only be aware of seasons.  Same applies here with the Year of Jubilee.
    I think all the above information is correct....I'm sure if I made a
mistake somewhere--since this is just off the top of my head--that
someone will pop up promptly to correct. <grin>
    Don't worry that you have offended, Daniel.  Silence is also an
answer......
    Shalom, Donna
