It’s been four days since Benjamin Creme announced that Maitreya gave his first interview on American television. So far no one has been able to find what show this interview took place, but that hasn’t stopped me from continuing to search for it.
I imagine that the few Christians that know about Maitreya and this announcement are pretty anxious now that Maitreya’s open mission has begun. I say…Relax! The end of the world isn’t coming yet. We still have a long way to go before the end times begin.
My research indicates that we are most likely 11 years and several months away from the start of the end times-the 70th Week of Daniel. I wrote about why I feel that way in a report called “When Will the End Times Begin?” which can be accessed at the following link.

In case you do not have time to read the executive summary or the full report I’ll give you an overview of why I feel the end times will not begin for at least several more years here.
First, there is the timing of a special year on the Hebrew Calendar called a Jubilee Year. Before I focus on the Jubilee Year you must first be aware of another special year on the Hebrew Calendar called a Sabbath Year.
God instructed the Jews to give their land a full year of rest (basically do not farm it) every 7 years. This year of rest is known as the Sabbath Year.
- Lev 25:4 But in the seventh year shall be a sabbath of rest unto the land, a sabbath for the LORD: thou shalt neither sow thy field, nor prune thy vineyard.
- Lev 25:5 That which groweth of its own accord of thy harvest thou shalt not reap, neither gather the grapes of thy vine undressed: for it is a year of rest unto the land.
- Lev 25:6 And the sabbath of the land shall be meat for you; for thee, and for thy servant, and for thy maid, and for thy hired servant, and for thy stranger that sojourneth with thee,
- Lev 25:7 And for thy cattle, and for the beast that are in thy land, shall all the increase thereof be meat.
A Jubilee Year is a special Sabbath observed once every 50 years after the completion of the 7th Sabbath Year. A Jubilee Year begins on Yom Kippur (Tishri 10 on the Jewish calendar) with the sounding of a ram’s horn.
- Lev 25:8 And thou shalt number seven sabbaths of years unto thee, seven times seven years; and the space of the seven sabbaths of years shall be unto thee forty and nine years.
- Lev 25:9 Then shalt thou cause the trumpet of the jubile to sound on the tenth day of the seventh month, in the day of atonement shall ye make the trumpet sound throughout all your land.
At the beginning of a Jubilee Year people are obligated to return items to their original owners, including land, (Lev 25:10, 13, 23-28) and grant freedom to their servants/slaves (Lev 25:39-54). Since a Jubilee Year is another Sabbath Year it is another year of rest for the land (Lev 25:12).
The reason the Jubilee Year is so important that there are multiple passages in Isaiah that indicate that the 70th week of Daniel (the seven year end time period) will end at the beginning of a Jubilee Year (Isaiah 61-3 and Isaiah 58). Therefore, to find when the end times will begin a person must find first when the seven year period will end (find the Jubilee Year).
First, I tried to identify the date of a past jubilee year mentioned by the Bible. A scholar working for the Vatican and I believe that Luke 4 where Jesus reads Isaiah 61 in the Temple is an announcement of a Jubilee Year. Luke 4 apparently took place in the Year 28 AD, so the next step was to see if I could use some simple math to calculate the dates of other past Jubilee years and Sabbath years to make sure it is even possible to calculate future jubilee years (since if a person cannot calculate past Jubilee Years and Sabbath years why bother calculating future ones…). My calculated dates matched up with historians’ dates for the following events.
- Jesus’s reading of Isaiah 61 in the Temple, (Luke 4:16-21, Jubilee Year)
- Nehemiah’s reading at the Feast of Tabernacles (Nehemiah 8:14-8, Sabbath Year).
- The destruction of Solomon’s Temple (Jeremiah 34:12-17, Sabbath Year)
- Ezra’s reading at the Feast of Tabernacles (Ezra 7:6-10, Sabbath Year)
- Josiah’s reading of the Book of the Law (2 Kings 22:3-11, Jubilee Year)
- Ezekiel’s vision at “the beginning of the year” (Ezekiel 40:1, Jubilee Year)
- Alexander the Great exempting tax payments in Israel (Sabbath Year).
- St. Jerome’s identification of a Jubilee Year in the 2nd year of Probus
Once I knew that I could find past Sabbath years and Jubilee years I tried to calculate future Jubilee Years. I found that the next Jubilee year should take place in Fall 2028. Then I subtracted seven years from Fall 2028 and got an end times start date of Fall 2021.
Daniel 9:27 and other verses indicate that Antichrist will reveal his identity 3.5 years from the seven year end times period. The timing of this date would be in Spring 2025 based on a Fall 2028 Jubilee Year date. About a year after I estimated that Antichrist would reveal his true identity in 2025 I found an Alice Bailey book where she quoted Fallen Angel Djwhal Khul saying that we are likely going to see the physical appearance of Satan’s spiritual hierarchy, which includes Maitreya, beginning in the year 2025.
Another reason why the end times is still at least several years away is that Alice Bailey (through Fallen Angel Djwhal Khul) wrote that a New World Order would not arise until the world first goes through a destructive crisis period that leaves humanity badly shattered. This destructive crisis period has not yet occurred, but that will soon occur-most likely within the next few years.
Nevertheless, this recent news is still a big deal. I view the beginning of Maitreya’s open mission as a signal that the restraints on Maitreya and his fallen angel counterparts are slowly being lessened. I also would not be surprised if a series of major world events begin soon. The last event that I thought was a big deal like this recent news about the beginning of Maitreya’s open mission was the Russian-Georgian War in 2008. Less than a month after the Russian-Georgian ended the world economy and U.S. stock market began a multi-month meltdown.
Benjamin Creme has added another interview to his busy schedule. Creme will be on another program on Blogtalk Radio this Sunday, and the topic of the program will be 2012. For an 87 year old man Creme has a lot of energy. More to come…
