I remember the first year of lockdown fondly. The roads were empty of all traffic except a few food delivery scooters. You could walk in peace down the once busiest main road of the city, completely resting from the normal stress of cars, lorries, and buses. The weather was balmy and there was no barrier to enjoying it. Our government in UK allowed us one walk a day for shopping and one for exercise. Many of us were laid off work on paid furlough. It was like the jubilee year of the Bible. A whole year of peaceful rest. March 2020 into 2021. It seems quite God-ordained. Then it dawned on me. Maybe it was indeed like the jubilee year of the Law of Moses. If so, maybe it is no coincidence that my calculations of the time of the beginning of the millennium of Christ’s peace is around 2070. (The Enoch prophecy in his vision of beasts suggests seventy forty year periods, i.e. 2800 years, after the conquests by Assyrians in the northern Israelite tribe territories is followed by the Lord’s wrath and then his coming. That points to Christ coming around late 2060s or 2070, since Revelation indicates Christ returning after 3.5 to 7 years of wrath.) Maybe it was the forty-ninth/fiftieth year before the return of Christ when that lockdown year occurred. Maybe it points to Christ returning around 2069/2070. A year of restful peace as a foretaste, then forty nine/fifty years and a thousand years of peaceful rest under the Christ. Maybe.
