The 70 Year Cycle
The Significance of 70 Years
Ever wonder if today is significant?
From the book, The Significance of 70 Years by James D. Dwyer
It is clear from a number of Second-Temple sources that a cycle of 7 years was religiously observed throughout Judea. Each 7th year appears to have been celebrated as a Sabbatical year--where in Sabbatical years fields were not sown, tended, or harvested.
Several of the early sources indicate that some kind of calendar was used to determine the epoch of the Sabbatical year. It appears that a peculiar count of weeks-of-days and weeks-of-years could have been used to schedule the 7th year event (the Sabbatical year).
Subsequent chapters will attempt to show that instances of 7 days, 7 years, and 70 years--written down in the late Second-Temple Era--exactly conform to a chronological sequence of 70 years. The indicated Jewish chronology can ultimately be cross-referenced to known chronologies--those of contemporary Greeks and Romans. (By the time of the late Second Temple, the existence and correctness of a running chronology of 70 years seems rather certain).
In association with a study of the chronological count of 7 sets throughout the Second-Temple Era, the concluding chapter of the current analysis focuses upon certain predictions given through prophecy. It seems that certain prophesied events literally did come to pass (and exactly according to the 'weekly' counts predicted in passages of the Bible). The cited prophecies--given in cycles of weeks--appear to have almost certainly been fulfilled.

What happened 70 years ago today
State of Israel proclaimed
On May 14, 1948, in Tel Aviv, Jewish Agency Chairman David Ben-Gurion proclaims the State of Israel, establishing the first Jewish state in 2,000 years. In an afternoon ceremony at the Tel Aviv Art Museum, Ben-Gurion pronounced the words “We hereby proclaim the establishment of the Jewish state in Palestine, to be called Israel,” prompting applause and tears from the crowd gathered at the museum. Ben-Gurion became Israel’s first premier.

Is there a narrative trying to be told?
I am not totally familiar with the full history but the president definitely planned it out with Israel. This action took a lot of courage to do as no other US president has shown this kind of support. It will definitely be interesting to see days ahead from now what this all will do to the region.
I guess I should have looked up this information yesterday.
As expected, the building already existed, but isn't complete. The embassy isn't ready to be moved in. This most certainly points to the date being chosen for a reason.

thanks for digging into this. Not surprising to me but still good confirmation.
Someone knew the significance of the date. The announcement was made on December 6th. Obviously, there was no way they built a brand new building in that short period of time. I am not sure how much renovation they could do in 5 months, but I a sure it is secure from outside attacks. But, given the time frame, someone knew what the date was going to be and they made a plan to have it dedicated on that date.
I believe the State of Isreal has every reason to exist. They fought for their existence and they deserve it.
I agree too.
I'm just amazed at the timing of today's event. I looked up the date when it was announced and saw the significance of it.
