Leviticus 25:8-10 BBE  And let seven Sabbaths of years be numbered to you, seven times seven years; even the days of seven Sabbaths of years, that is forty-nine years;  (9)  Then let the loud horn be sounded far and wide on the tenth day of the seventh month; on the day of taking away sin let the horn be sounded through all your land.  (10)  And let this fiftieth year be kept holy, and say publicly that everyone in the land is free from debt: it is the Jubilee, and every man may go back to his heritage and to his family.

Leviticus 25:23-28 BBE  No exchange of land may be for ever, for the land is mine, and you are as my guests, living with me for a time.  (24)  Wherever there is property in land, the owner is to have the right of getting it back.  (25)  If your brother becomes poor, and has to give up some of his land for money, his nearest relation may come and get back that which his brother has given up (REDEEM IT).  (26)  And if he has no one to get it back (REDEEM) for him, and later he himself gets wealth and has enough money to get it back (REDEEM);  (27)  Then let him take into account the years from the time when he gave it up, and make up the loss for the rest of the years to him who took it, and so get back his property.  (28)  But if he is not able to get it back for himself, then it will be kept by him who gave a price for it, till the year of Jubilee; and in that year it will go back to its first owner and he will have his property again.

Leviticus 25:35-44 BBE  And if your brother becomes poor and is not able to make a living, then you are to keep him with you, helping him as you would a man from another country who is living among you.  (36)  Take no interest from him, in money or in goods, but have the fear of your God before you, and let your brother make a living among you.  (37)  Do not take interest on the money which you let him have or on the food which you give him.  (38)  I am the Lord your God, who took you out of the land of Egypt to give you the land of Canaan, that I might be your God.  (39)  And if your brother becomes poor and gives himself to you for money, do not make use of him like a servant who is your property;  (40)  But let him be with you as a servant working for payment, till the year of Jubilee;  (41)  Then he will go out from you, he and his children with him, and go back to his family and to the property of his fathers.  (42)  For they are my servants whom I took out from the land of Egypt; they may not become the property of another.  (43)  Do not be a hard master to him, but have the fear of God before you.  (44)  But you may get servants as property from among the nations round about; from them you may take men-servants and women-servants.
Going back to verse 223, let us take the title for our message:

Leviticus 25:23 KJV  The land shall not be sold for ever: for the land is mine; for ye are strangers and sojourners with me.

This chapter speaks about the Year of Jubilee, and Redemption (getting a possession back again).

The KJV uses the term REDEEM over and over again:

Leviticus 25:23-28 KJV  The land shall not be sold for ever: for the land is mine; for ye are strangers and sojourners with me.  (24)  And in all the land of your possession ye shall grant a redemption for the land.  (25)  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;  (27)  Then let him count the years of the sale thereof, and restore the overplus unto the man to whom he sold it; that he may return unto his possession.  (28)  But if he be not able to restore it to him, then that which is sold shall remain in the hand of him that hath bought it until the year of jubile: and in the jubile it shall go out, and he shall return unto his possession.



Lev. 25 teaches us that a special year of Jubilee occurred every 50 years.  Twice in one century.
During this fiftieth year, everything returned to its original state.
But there is also the thought that God does not give blessings only to see you lose them.


The same occurred with people who were sold.
Lev. 25 (39)  And if your brother becomes poor and gives himself to you for money, do not make use of him like a servant who is your property;  (40)  But let him be with you as a servant working for payment, till the year of Jubilee;  (41)  Then he will go out from you, he and his children with him, and go back to his family and to the property of his fathers.  (42)  For they are my servants whom I took out from the land of Egypt; they may not become the property of another.  (43)  Do not be a hard master to him, but have the fear of God before you.  (44)  But you may get servants as property from among the nations round about; from them you may take men-servants and women-servants.

So any of the sold servants and the sold land, lost due to poverty, were all restored in the year of jubilee.

Luke 4:14-21  And Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit into Galilee: and there went out a fame of him through all the region round about.  (15)  And he taught in their synagogues, being glorified of all.  (16)  And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up: and, as his custom was, he went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and stood up for to read.  (17)  And there was delivered unto him the book of the prophet Esaias. And when he had opened the book, he found the place where it was written,  (18)  The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised,  (19)  To preach the acceptable year of the Lord.  (20)  And he closed the book, and he gave it again to the minister, and sat down. And the eyes of all them that were in the synagogue were fastened on him.  (21)  And he began to say unto them, This day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears.


THE ACCEPTABLE YEAR OF THE LORD is the year of Jubilee.
Adam sold us all out.

And PREACHING a REVELATION is always indicated by the SOUND OF A TRUMPET.


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 KJV  I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day, and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet,

Revelation 4:1 KJV  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.

We are BLASTING A LONG MESSAGE THROUGH THE DEATH OF JESUS CHRIST!

(The book of Revelation is the REVELATION OF JESUS CHRIST.)

When Jesus was revealed in Luke and introduced Himself by PREACHING, he began by reading about how HIS COMING fulfilled the YEAR OF JUBILEE.
Jesus was actually preaching the jubilee of jubilee’s!

The JUBILEE law ABOUT PEOPLE AND LANDS said that people and land could be bought back and redeemed.


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.

In Matthew 18 we see JUBILEE principle.

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


What is interesting is that FIFTIETH in Greek is PENTECOST.

Acts 2:39  For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call.

Acts 2:4  And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.


There was a weekly SEVENTH DAY SABBATH.

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 25:20-22  And if ye shall say, What shall we eat the seventh year? behold, we shall not sow, nor gather in our increase:  (21)  Then I will command my blessing upon you in the sixth year, and it shall bring forth fruit for three years.  (22)  And ye shall sow the eighth year, and eat yet of old fruit until the ninth year; until her fruits come in ye shall eat of the old store.

In other words, there was no work during this entire year, but the Lord would BLESS beforehand with so much blessings of crops that they would eat of it for the entire sabbath year of no work.
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.

Between each JUBILEE YEAR was SEVEN SABBATH YEARS.

The firstborn Son received a double portion of land compared to all the other sons of a man's family.
Isaiah 28:11-12  For with stammering lips and another tongue will he speak to this people.  (12)  To whom he said, This is the rest wherewith ye may cause the weary to rest; and this is the refreshing: yet they would not hear.

1 Corinthians 14:21 KJV  (21)  In the law it is written, With men of other tongues and other lips will I speak unto this people; and yet for all that will they not hear me, saith the Lord. (22)  Wherefore tongues are for a sign, not to them that believe, but to them that believe not: but prophesying serveth not for them that believe not, but for them which believe.

The apostles preached about Jesus the day they spoke with tongues, and the prophet indicated JESUS GIVES THE REST.
Before Adam even sinned, there was the salvation plan all set to redeem man again.

But there is also the redemption of ANYTHING in the land of Canaan that God gave to us.
And IF YOU HAVE SOLD THESE OUT FOR ANY REASON AT ALL....
However, look at it from a different angle…. even Hebrews 6 says that what we have now in the church age is a mere taste of the world to come.

Leviticus 25: (26)  And if he has no one to get it back (REDEEM) for him, and later he himself gets wealth and has enough money to get it back (REDEEM);  (27)  Then let him take into account the years from the time when he gave it up, and make up the loss for the rest of the years to him who took it, and so get back his property.

1 Peter 1:18-19  Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers;  (19)  But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot:

Revelation 5:9  And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation;


You can redeem all that you have lost by the blood of Jesus!

You can get it in glory again, but you can also redeem it now.

Using the blood simply means that you have FAITH that because you are a believer in Jesus' cross where He shed His blood for you, then you CLAIM whatever you LOST that is part of His blessings.
