26.1: Jesus in Leviticus Part 8: What is the Year of Jubilee?

When I first heard the song, "Days of Elijah" (the video is at the bottom), I didn't get what they meant when they sang, "It's the Year of Jubilee". I knew from when I originally read Leviticus, that it's the 50th year, a year of rest for the Israelites. But, if in the song, it's the year of Jubilee, the fiftieth year from what? How did they figure it was the 50th year? Was it coming? Did I miss it? I didn't get it. Until today, as I was preparing for this lesson. It all has to do with Jesus. Let's dig in.... Keep reading in my blog where there are links to dig deeper and watch the special music video at the bottom…. Jesus said, “Anyone with ears to hear must listen to the Spirit and understand what he is saying to the churches.” ~ Revelation 3:22 NLT - This phrase is repeated 14 times in scripture. Kind of gives the idea that God wants us to pay attention. If you want to reap all the benefits of salvation including the 1-way, non-stop ticket to Heaven then… Believe. Repent. Be Baptized. Receive the Holy Spirit. Pray this prayer humbly and wholeheartedly… “Dear Lord Jesus, I know I am a sinner. I believe You died for my sins. Please forgive me. Right now, I turn from my sins and open the door of my heart and my life to you. I confess You as my personal Lord and Savior. I surrender my whole life to you and I will follow you for the rest of my life. Thank You, Jesus, for saving me. In Jesus' name, Amen.” Jesus didn’t die so we could have religion!
