Understanding the spiritual correlation of Jehoiachin King of Judah in his 37th year in captivity brought forth out of prison under the Babylonian King Evilmerodach in Jeremiah 52:31 and 2001 AD (the 4th year from the start of the Latter Rain).

Jeremiah 52:31 And it came to pass in the seven and thirtieth year of the captivity of Jehoiachin king of Judah, in the twelfth month, in the five and twentieth day of the month, that Evilmerodach king of Babylon in the first year of his reign lifted up the head of Jehoiachin king of Judah, and brought him forth out of prison,

Jehoiachin was carried away captive to Babylon in 597 BC. The year carried away would have been 598-597. If we subtract 37 years from 598/597 we arrive at the year 561/560. 561 BC to the year 539 BC (End of Harvest)* is equal to 22 years. The number 22 has factors of 11 and 2. There are 11 years from Tishri 2001 to Tishri 2012 AD. This correlates with the 22 years from the 37th year of King Jehoiachin captivity when he was brought out of prison by the Babylonian King Evil-Merodach. The number 22 is a product of 11 times 2.

There are 2,561 years between 561 BC and 2001 AD. The number 2,561 has factors of 13 and 197.

13 - The number 13 is identified with super-fullness

The Levitical Law concerning fruits from Fruit Trees, determined that the first three years of the fruit crop was not to be eaten. The fourth year typified Fruits that was "Holy unto the Lord." Thus, any fruit consumed would be typified from the Lord's Table.

Leviticus 19:23 And when ye shall come into the land, and shall have planted all manner of trees for food, then ye shall count the fruit thereof as uncircumcised: three years shall it be as uncircumcised unto you: it shall not be eaten of.

Leviticus 19:24 But in the fourth year all the fruit thereof shall be holy to praise the LORD withal.

Leviticus 19:25 And in the fifth year shall ye eat of the fruit thereof, that it may yield unto you the increase thereof: I am the LORD your God.

This analogy parallels Jehoiachin (King of Judah carried away Captive in 597 BC) sitting at the King's table, and receiving his portion from the Babylonian King Evil-Merodach in the 37th year of his captivity in 561/60 BC.

Jeremiah 52:31 And it came to pass in the seven and thirtieth year of the captivity of Jehoiachin king of Judah, in the twelfth month, in the five and twentieth day of the month, that Evilmerodach king of Babylon in the first year of his reign lifted up the head of Jehoiachin king of Judah, and brought him forth out of prison,

Jeremiah 52:32 And spake kindly unto him, and set his throne above the throne of the kings that were with him in Babylon,

Jeremiah 52:33 And changed his prison garments: and he did continually eat bread before him all the days of his life.

Jeremiah 52:34 And for his diet, there was a continual diet given him of the king of Babylon, every day a portion until the day of his death, all the days of his life.

Interestingly, we also see a correlation from the start of a successful summer harvest outside Judah in 587/586 **were a picture of latter rain received occurs outside Judah to the year 561/560 (1st hour of Day). There are 24 years between 587/586 BC to 561/560 BC. 24 has factors of 4 and 6. The number 4 is identified with edible fruit as discussed above. The number 6 is identified with the release from bondage, as we see in Exodus 21:2 that freedom is granted to the Hebrew servant at the end of the sixth year, just as Jehoiachin was granted freedom in 561 BC.

The temple was destroyed in the Agriculture Year 588/87 in the Jewish Month Av (July), no spiritual type of Summer Harvest to the feast of Ingathering Harvest occurred in Judah because it was spiritually typified as receiving no latter rain.

Jeremiah 3:3 Therefore the showers have been withholden, and there hath been no latter rain; and thou hadst a whore’s forehead, thou refusedst to be ashamed.

One that escaped the destruction arrived in Babylon in the following year 587/586 BC.

Ezekiel 33:21 And it came to pass in the twelfth year of our captivity, in the tenth month, in the fifth day of the month, that one that had escaped out of Jerusalem came unto me, saying, The city is smitten.

Exodus 21:2 If thou buy a Hebrew servant, six years he shall serve: and in the seventh he shall go out free for nothing.

** From 587/86 BC to 1996/97 or 586 BC to 1996 is 2,581 years. The number 2,581 has factors of 89 and 29. The summation of 29 and 89 is 118 days. There are a 118 days from Summer to the Feast of Ingathering. God's redemptive work of salvation is identified with the bringing out of the prisoners from prison as we see Isaiah 42:7. The redemptive work after 587/586 only occurred in physical Babylon outside Judah. Similar to God's redemptive work could only occur outside the physical organized churches starting in the year 1996/1997 and latter rain producing edible fruit trees in 2001 (note 2001 was the world population reached 6 billion of which 2 billion people were associated the Christian religion).

 

Isaiah 42:7 To open the blind eyes, to bring out the prisoners from the prison, and them that sit in darkness out of the prison house.

Jeremiah 52:31 And it came to pass in the seven and thirtieth year of the captivity of Jehoiachin king of Judah, in the twelfth month, in the five and twentieth day of the month, that Evilmerodach king of Babylon in the first year of his reign lifted up the head of Jehoiachin king of Judah, and brought him forth out of prison

 

There is also a 4 year period from 1996/97 to 2000/01 coinciding with the start of productive spiritual summer harvest to the 1st hour of day beginning in 2001 AD.
