Leviticus 25:8-10  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.  (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.  (10)  And ye shall hallow the fiftieth year, and proclaim liberty throughout all the land unto all the inhabitants thereof: it shall be a jubile unto you; and ye shall return every man unto his possession, and ye shall return every man unto his family.


This morning we spoke about Jubilee and noted that PREACHING is always indicated by the SOUND OF A TRUMPET.
Let us go further with that thought tonight.


A revelation is a TRUMPET BLAST.

Since JUBILEE is the noise of a trumpet, then it's one great revelation going forth.

Isaiah 58:1  Cry aloud, spare not, lift up thy voice like a trumpet, and shew my people.........

And that is why we read of Jesus' voice sounding like a TRUMPET throughout the Book of Revelation.

Revelation 1:10-11  I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day, and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet,  (11)  Saying, I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last: and, What thou seest, write in a book, and send it unto the seven churches which are in Asia; unto Ephesus, and unto Smyrna, and unto Pergamos, and unto Thyatira, and unto Sardis, and unto Philadelphia, and unto Laodicea.

Revelation 4:1  After this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened in heaven: and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up hither, and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter.

Jubilee began on the day of atonement with the blast of trumpet... referring to a revelation God was giving to the people.


This Revelation is the REVELATION OF JESUS CHRIST.
When Jesus was revealed in Luke, he began by reading about how HIS COMING fulfilled the YEAR OF JUBILEE.
He said HE FULFILLED THAT SCRIPTURE.
When you get a revelation of what Jesus is all about, and who He is and what He did, it's a JUBILEE!
You learn about getting back to where God first put us.
Restoration.
Return to eternal life.
We have all the blessings Adam had before he fell.
We have all that is in the later part of Genesis 1, and Genesis chapter 2.

People would return to the state that God placed us in way back in Adam's time when God placed him in the Garden of Eden with blessings and dominion and everlasting life!

But we were sold.

So the entire New Testament is simply the PROCLAMATION that everything mankind lost when he was sold under sin in the days of Adam is restored once again!

The law of the people and lands in regards to the jubilee said that people and land could be bought back and redeemed.

Leviticus 25:25-26  If thy brother be waxen poor, and hath sold away some of his possession, and if any of his kin come to redeem it, then shall he redeem that which his brother sold.  (26)  And if the man have none to redeem it, and himself be able to redeem it;

Leviticus 25:48  After that he is sold he may be redeemed again; one of his brethren may redeem him:

But if something cannot be redeemed by money, then it will wait until the year of jubilee and then return, anyway.

Everytime someone preaches the Gospel, THE SILVER TRUMPET OF JUBILEE SOUNDS!

SOMEONE IS GETTING A REVELATION.
You can return to what God gave to you.

COME BACK TO EDEN!

In other words, get eternal life through faith that Adam could get through the fruit of the tree of life.

Silver was always associated with REDEMPTION.
Recall that it was thirty pieces of SILVER that Judas was paid for Jesus to be taken and crucified.
And His crucifixion paid the price to redeem us.

We also noted this morning that the word FIFTIETH in Greek is PENTECOST.
There is the DAY OF PENTECOST, which was fifty days after the sabbath following the feast of firstfruits, the day Jesus was resurrected.
That is the DAY OF PENTECOST.
But the year of JUBILEE is the fiftieth YEAR.
So there is also a YEAR OF PENTECOST!
And we already showed you where Jesus referred to the entire GOSPEL AGE as the YEAR OF THE LORD.
So the entire Gospel age is the PENTECOSTAL AGE.

There was a weekly SEVENTH DAY SABBATH.
That occurred every seven days.
The seventh day of the week was Sabbath.
But the day of Pentecost was a 50th Day Sabbath.
So it's a SPECIAL sabbath.
A sabbath of sabbaths, much like Jesus is King of Kings, and Lord of Lords.
Much like a place called the Holy of holies.

Sabbath DAY was rest for people and animals.

Sabbath YEAR was rest for the LAND.

Every seven years was a SABBATH YEAR.
The entire year prohibited anyone from planting or reaping anything in your ground for yourself, except for reaping crops which were common for anyone to reap.

Leviticus 25:4-5  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.  (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.

Leviticus 25:6-7  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,  (7)  And for thy cattle, and for the beast that are in thy land, shall all the increase thereof be meat.

However, the PENTECOSTAL YEAR of jubilee was ALSO A SABBATH.
Notice the same restrictions against work on the Sabbath year are noted again for the Jubilee Year.
Another Sabbath of Sabbaths!

Leviticus 25:11-12  A jubile shall that fiftieth year be unto you: ye shall not sow, neither reap that which groweth of itself in it, nor gather the grapes in it of thy vine undressed.  (12)  For it is the jubile; it shall be holy unto you: ye shall eat the increase thereof out of the field.

These are the same laws for the seventh year sabbath!

Now, watch this.
How many sabbaths came between each Year of Jubilee?

Leviticus 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.

We noted this morning that the seventh sabbath year and the year of jubilee followed one another every fifty years, and gave Israel TWO SABBATH YEARS IN A ROW!
A double portion.

Double portions are significant in the Bible.
The firstborn Son received a double portion of land compared to all the other sons of a man's family.
Elisha asked for a double portion of Elijah's anointing and power, and Elijah told him that it would be so if he would see Elijah ascend.
Elisha saw it and the mantle fell.
In Acts 1 the Apostles saw Jesus ascend into Heaven and went to Jerusalem and the Holy Ghost fell on them, and they received POWER, and did the things Jesus did, and greater.
There are eyes of understanding (Eph 1:19) that we must use to see Jesus has ascended.


ABRAHAM
Abraham came 2000 years after Adam.
That is FORTY JUBILEES!
40 X 50 = 2000

Abraham, 'Leave your country, your people and your father's household and go to the land I will show you.'

That was the 40th JUBILEE from Adam.


EXODUS
The 50th JUBILEE from Adam was also special.

2,500 years after Adam...

So, if seven sabbaths is a special sabbath of sabbaths, what would 50 Jubilee's be?
A Jubilee of Jubilees!
A sabbath of sabbaths of sabbaths of sabbaths!
THE EXODUS OCCURRED IN THIS VERY YEAR!
Talk about returning to the LAND!!!!
Israel returned to the Land God gave to Abraham!
A Jubilee of Jubilees!
Jubilee involved setting SLAVES FREE, and RETURNING TO YOUR LAND YOU LOST.
This was EXODUS!
Israel were slaves in Egypt!

Jewish History tells us that it was FIFTY DAYS AFTER EXODUS that they came to Mount Sinai and received the TEN COMMANDMENTS.

Luke 9:28-31  And it came to pass about an eight days after these sayings, he took Peter and John and James, and went up into a mountain to pray.  (29)  And as he prayed, the fashion of his countenance was altered, and his raiment was white and glistering.  (30)  And, behold, there talked with him two men, which were Moses and Elias:  (31)  Who appeared in glory, and spake of his decease which he should accomplish at Jerusalem.

DECEASE in Greek in verse 31 is EXODOS!

Here was MOSES talking with JESUS about Jesus' EXODOS!
The JUBILEE OF JUBILEES.
Jesus would take SOULS out of slavery to sin, and bring them back to the place GOD FIRST PUT MANKIND in Genesis!


And ELIJAH was there with the thought of DOUBLE PORTION that was in the JUBILEE year.
Jubilee was the fiftieth year, and it followed the seventh sabbath year, the 49th year.
Double portion of REST.

It's as though Moses was there that day because he foreshadowed in his exodus of souls from Egypt's slavery to their land Jesus' great Exodus of souls from sin to the promised land of blessings!

BACK TO EDEN.

Elijah was there because He also foreshadowed Jesus who would give a double portion to the CHURCH as if it were Elisha.
Jesus said that the things He did and greater would the church do.
Elisha did the same miracles Elijah did, but TWICE AS MANY!
Elijah did 7 miracles.
Elisha did 14 great miracles!

EXODUS (Moses) and DOUBLE PORTION (Elijah) -- BOTH ARE JUBILEE ISSUES!


SOLOMON
500 years from EXODUS came Solomon who built the temple.

Since Abraham was 2000 years from Adam (40 Jubilees), and Exodus was 2,500 years from Adam (50 Jubilees), another 500 years gives us 3,000 years from Adam which is 60 JUBILEES!

1 Kings 8:10-11  And it came to pass, when the priests were come out of the holy place, that the cloud filled the house of the LORD,  (11)  So that the priests could not stand to minister because of the cloud: for the glory of the LORD had filled the house of the LORD.

In those 500 years, Israel marched through the wilderness, through Canaan and conquered it, a few centuries of Judges, three great Kings, Saul, David and then Solomon.

This finally gave them the LAND as they should have it, in Solomon's day, with a temple!
Exodus was FULLY realized!
Before this they had trouble from Egyptians, the Canaanites, the Midianites and the Philistines among others.
After Solomon the Syrians, the Assyrians, the Babylonians and the Persians, the Greeks and then the Romans gave them trouble.
But during THIS TIME, they were COMPLETELY FREE!
No war existed in Solomon's day!

1 Chronicles 28:3-6  But God said unto me, Thou shalt not build an house for my name, because thou hast been a man of war, and hast shed blood.  (4)  Howbeit the LORD God of Israel chose me before all the house of my father to be king over Israel for ever: for he hath chosen Judah to be the ruler; and of the house of Judah, the house of my father; and among the sons of my father he liked me to make me king over all Israel:  (5)  And of all my sons, (for the LORD hath given me many sons,) he hath chosen Solomon my son to sit upon the throne of the kingdom of the LORD over Israel.  (6)  And he said unto me, Solomon thy son, he shall build my house and my courts: for I have chosen him to be my son, and I will be his father.


ESCAPE FROM BABYLON
After Solomon were 500 more years.

This brings us to the 70th JUBILEE!

God's people in these centuries fell badly.
God had brought them out of Egypt and finally realized the fullness of the Exodus in the 60th JUBILEE.
They had rest and no war, their own land.
Golden age of Israel.
But they became slaves to Babylon.
But they went to other false Gods.
So Babylon was a judgment of RELIGIOUS SIN.
Babylon is MAN'S RELIGION.
Man-made religion held the people of God.
Daniel and Nehemiah came along and fasted in repentance.
Cyrus told them to return and build the temple again!

Ezra 1:1-5  Now in the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, that the word of the LORD by the mouth of Jeremiah might be fulfilled, the LORD stirred up the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia, that he made a proclamation throughout all his kingdom, and put it also in writing, saying,  (2)  Thus saith Cyrus king of Persia, The LORD God of heaven hath given me all the kingdoms of the earth; and he hath charged me to build him an house at Jerusalem, which is in Judah.  (3)  Who is there among you of all his people? his God be with him, and let him go up to Jerusalem, which is in Judah, and build the house of the LORD God of Israel, (he is the God,) which is in Jerusalem.  (4)  And whosoever remaineth in any place where he sojourneth, let the men of his place help him with silver, and with gold, and with goods, and with beasts, beside the freewill offering for the house of God that is in Jerusalem.  (5)  Then rose up the chief of the fathers of Judah and Benjamin, and the priests, and the Levites, with all them whose spirit God had raised, to go up to build the house of the LORD which is in Jerusalem.


THIS DECREE WAS EXACTLY 70 JUBILEES from Adam!

And again captives and slaves were set free, and LAND was again possessed.

This decree is the basis for the following:

Daniel 9:24-27  Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy.  (25)  Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks: the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times.  (26)  And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined.  (27)  And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.

490 more years brings us to 3.5 years after JESUS was crucified!
Add ten years to that and we have the 80TH JUBILEE!
THE BOOK OF ACTS COVERS THIS VERY TIME PERIOD!

If 7 is the END OF THE WEEK, what part of the week would the 8th DAY BE?
THE BEGINNING OF THE NEXT!
NEW BEGINNING!

The eighth day is the first day after the last week.

We've come to a wonderful JUBILEE AGE!  

A new beginning!

If you are bound, the devil is using you.
When Israel was bound in Egypt, Pharaoh used them.
When they were freed from Egypt, God used them.
When you are free God uses you!

What ministries do you have?
Is God using them or has the devil bound them up in you?

We've got to preach this TRUMPET REVELATION of Liberty!

You have got to get this revelation that you are SET FREE!
Do not tell me why you are not being used by God, because I have no time to hear that nonsense.
The simple fact is that you are not letting God use you, and there is no need for it.
Whatever you claim is hindering you is a lie from the devil, because Jesus SET US FREE!

Being used in a congregation is part of UNITY.
When you refuse to work with a congregation, for whatever reason,  you are refusing to work in unity.
And you are therefore causing DIVISION.
DIVISION is antichrist.
Jesus died on the cross to make us ONE BODY.
And when we refuse to work with the rest of the Body in a congregation somewhere, we are causing division, and acting in the spirit of antichrist.
The Bible says MARK those who CAUSE DIVISION.
I am more worried about this MARK OF THE BEAST than I am some computer chip nonsense.
Mark of ANTICHRIST.
MARK OF DIVISION.
MARK OF DISUNITY in the body of Christ.

Are you hearing this REVELATION -- this TRUMPET of JUBILEE?

You will KNOW THE TRUTH and the TRUTH SHALL MAKE YOU FREE.
