Reason #12:
"We can also approach this subject from the perspective of the Sabbatical and Jubilee years. It is obvious that the weekly Sabbath is the foundation for both of these! That is to say, the seventh day of the week becomes symbolic of the seventh year and the forty-ninth day comes to symbolize the
forty-ninth year.
Leviticus 25:1-7 addresses the Sabbatical year. This passage contains the earliest Biblical use of the year/day principle. It becomes clear when we compare verses 3 and 4 with verse 5 that the weekly cycle is being used as a pattern for the seven year period.
We have ‘six years’ which are followed by the ‘seventh year’ and the seventh year is one of rest. This arrangement is patterned after ‘six days’ of labor followed by the ‘seventh day’ which is a day of rest. Here we clearly have an example of the year/day principle. The same is true of the Jubilee year (see Leviticus 25:8 and compare with Leviticus 23:15)." SecretsUnsealed

Unto two thousand and three hundred days;
