THE YEAR OF JUBILEE

-Leviticus 25:8-10 states, … And you shall number seven Sabbaths of years unto you, seven times seven years; and the space of the seven Sabbaths of years shall be unto you forty and nine years. Then shall you cause the trumpet of the Jubilee to sound on the tenth day of the seventh month, in the Day of Atonement shall you make the trumpet sound throughout all your land. And you shall hallow the fiftieth year, and proclaim liberty throughout all the land unto all the inhabitants thereof; it shall be a Jubilee unto you; AND YOU SHALL RETURN EVERY MAN UNTO HIS POSSESSION, and you shall return every man unto his family …

According to Bill Britton:

-"In basic terms, every fifty years a great change took place in Israel. Everything was to be restored just as it was when the tribes originally inherited the land. If a man waxed poor and sold his land and became a slave or servant to others, this continued only until the year of Jubilee. At that time all slaves were set free, and every man returned to his original inheritance. I HOPE YOU CAN SEE WHAT THIS MEANS TO THE HUMAN RACE! It has a spiritual meaning, and held out a hope to humanity that God had set a day when all bondage would cease and everything that God had given to mankind in the beginning would be restored." ( The Year Of Jubilee, Bill Britton )

-When we look at the law of Jubilee in the Old Testament as it pertained to natural Israel, we can then see what this law means spiritually to the entire creation. Remember … All the things that happened to natural Israel, happened unto them for examples: and they were written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the ages are come.

-We must see that the Year of Jubilee in the natural represents something that will take place in the Spirit. Because Jesus died on the cross, He has GUARANTEED A JUBILEE FOR THE ENTIRE CREATION, every man in his own order. Jesus purchased the entire creation by laying down His life, shedding His blood, AND TAKING AWAY THE SIN OF THE WORLD. JESUS IS THE JUBILEE!

-Because there was a manifestation of the Son of God, there shall be a manifestation of the sons of God, which will result in the creation being set free and restored to the Father ( Romans 8:19-22 ). How much of the creation do you think that the sons of God will set free? How about … ALL OF THE CREATION! Sounds like Jubilee, doesn’t it? YOU BETTER BELIEVE IT!

-The ages to come ( the Millennium and the Age of the Ages ) will prove to be a Jubilee for ALL NATIONS, ALL PEOPLE, AND ALL THINGS!

-EVERY MAN SHALL RETURN UNTO HIS POSSESSION!-
