That fiftieth year will be your jubilee; you must not sow the land, harvest its aftergrowth, or pick the grapes of its unpruned vines.

Jubilee Year
If you say, ‘What will we eat in the seventh year if we do not sow and gather our produce?’ I will command my blessing for you in the sixth year so that it may yield the produce for three years, and you may sow the eighth year and eat from that sixth year’s produce – old produce. Until you bring in the ninth year’s produce, you may eat old produce.
I don’t think it’s a coincidence that the Dead Sea Scrolls calendar that the Qumran people used is the only calendar in the ancient world that creates a time window for the Messiah’s arrival that matches Jesus. Okay? I don’t think that’s a coincidence.
Firstly, it is the place to which everything returns in the “great” Jubilee, i.e. the completion of the world’s cycle of 7000 years. We are familiar with the basic concept from the Torah’s יובל (jubilee), the jubilee year legislation. The second reason is that a certain “inner spirit” reposes in that region. This is a spirit which comes directly from the emanation חכמה (wisdom), which in turn is fed by the אין סוף (eternal), the ultimate of all causes, G–d’s Essence, at all times. The philological origin of the expression תשובה (repent), is derived from Isaiah 30,15, בשובה ונחת תושעון, “Through returning and rest will you be saved.”
The Yahweh said “My spirit shall not contend with man forever, for he is flesh: his time shall be 120 years (dual prophecy of years and Jubilees 120×50=6000)
God said to Moses: ‘Command the children of Israel and say to them, My appointed times (moed) shall you keep as My covenant forever.’ (Leviticus 23:2) This is to teach you that the calendar and its festivals are set by the divine order and should not be tampered with. Do not look into or follow the calculations of those who stray from this path, for their times are not aligned with the divine will. Just as I have sanctified the Sabbath, so have I sanctified the months and the festivals for you.
The world will last for 6,000 years: 2,000 years of desolation, 2,000 years of Torah, and 2,000 years of the days of the Messiah. In the seventh millennium, the world will be rebuilt in glory.
