In Leviticus 25, THE LORD gives instructions to Moses for the children of Israel, pertaining to the year of Jubilee. Every seventh year was deemed to be a year of a “sabbath of rest” unto the land, and a sabbath for THE LORD (v4) and the children of Israel were to number seven sabbaths of years (seven times seven years = 49 years) (v.8). On the tenth day of the seventh month in the year of Jubilee (50th year), a trumpet (shofar) was to sound throughout the land, in that day of atonement (restoration/reconciliation) (v.9).

The year of Jubilee was to be hallowed (holy, consecrate) and a proclamation of liberty (freedom) was made throughout all the land. It was to be a year every man was returned unto his possession and every man returned to his family (v.10). It was a time of rejoicing as debts were canceled and possessions restored.

As this was a celebration of restoration for the children of Israel, we can experience our own personal Jubilee, every day, with THE LORD.

How?...Let’s take it step by step.

1. Six years the children of Israel shall work, but the seventh year was a year of rest.

• Old Testament/The Beginning – God created the heaven and the earth and on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested. God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made. (Genesis 1:1; 2:1-3). Therefore the seventh year and the seventh month were deemed as Holy and a time of rest.
  

• New Testament/The Promise – Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. (Matthew 11:28-30). When we rest in THE LORD we rejuvenate our spirit, our mind and our natural body. To rest is to seek, to consecrate and meditate on THE LORD and His Word. Remember the Sabbath HE Blessed and Sanctified it. Make every day “a Sabbath” unto THE LORD…This is the beginning of your daily Jubilee with GOD.
  

• Old Testament/Law and Responsibility – THE LORD gives the Ten Commandments to the children of Israel (Exodus 20), which they were to keep wherever they went. In Leviticus 25:18, THE LORD instructs the children of Israel “Wherefore ye shall do my statues, and keep my judgements, and do them; and ye shall dwell in the land in safety”.

• New Testament/Obedience – Blessed are they that hear the word of God, and keep it (Luke 11:28). God love when His children stand firm on His Word and operate in the Spirit of Obedience; for with obedience of one, shall many be made righteous. (Romans 5:18). Walk in the spirit of obedience daily….This is the next step of your daily Jubilee with THE LORD.
  

• Old Testament/A Great Shout – THE LORD sends instructions in Joshua 6:4-5, that on the seventh day, “seven priests shall bear before the ark seven trumpets of rams’ horns: and the seventh day ye shall compass the city seven times, and the priests shall blow the trumpets. And it shall come to pass, that when they make a long blast with the ram’s horn, and when ye hear the sound of the trumpet, all the people shall shout with a great shout; and the wall of the city shall fall down flat, and the people shall ascend up every man straight before him.
  

• New Testament/Praise – Romans 15:10-11 tells us to “Rejoice, ye Gentiles, with his people. And again, Praise THE LORD, all ye Gentiles; and laud (praise) him, all ye people (nations)”. Our words, our actions and our thoughts should be upon THE LORD daily and should show forth His Praises, for we “are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid” (Matthew 5:14) and the salt of the earth (Matthew 5:13). Having a continuous Spirit of Praise will move you out of the natural realm and place you in a higher realm where God dwells, for He lives in the praises of His people….This is the final step of your daily Jubilee with THE LORD.
