The Feasts, New Moons, and Sabbaths of the HebrewsLeviticus 25:8
Excerpted from: Trumpets and the Fall of JerichoGo to Leviticus 25:8-12. This is a bit about the year of Jubilee. We will see that the blowing of the trumpets had another idea behind it, not just the announcing the plagues of God's judgment on Jericho, and the people, but it was also announcing the jubilee.
Here, we are getting into a bunch of sevens again.
It says that the Jubilee is a holy year of liberty, and that is exactly what God was doing here in destroying Jericho. He was proclaiming liberty, not for the people of Jericho, but for His own people. He was going to make them free to inherit the land. That is one big part of the jubilee year - everyone goes back to his inheritance. No matter what had happened in the intervening time, you get back what is yours by right, or reward in this case.
That is the same thing that happens in the Millennium. The inheritance goes to those to whom it has been given - the people of God.
The same thing is happening by the fall of Jericho as will happen in the Millennium. The Jubilee is a type of the Millennium, which is begun by the fulfillment of the day of Trumpets.
We saw in Revelation 11 that the last trumpet announces the coming of Christ. This is also in Matthew 24:30-31 and I Thessalonians 4:16.
Leviticus 25:8-17
Excerpted from: Deuteronomy, Land Sabbaths, Atonement, and Third TitheThis scripture reveals that Atonement is the anchor point for counting the seven-year cycle and properly arriving at the year of release and then eventually at the the fiftieth year, which is the Jubilee year. It is also interesting that a trumpet is used to mark the start of that year.
Now again this year, the Jubilee year is anchored on the Day of Atonement. The trumpet is to sound throughout the land, and there is a proclamation of liberty, that is, a blessing that is to go throughout all the land and its inhabitants.
It is interesting to me that God says in verse 12, "it shall be holy to you," which in my mind means it is something that we should observe.
This year teaches us that God commanded a release of all of the inhabitants of the land and all of the inhabitants of the land to return to their possessions and family.
It was more than the seven-year land Sabbath. It was a complete release of all debt, as well as a land Sabbath.
It is interesting to me that in verses 13 through 17, God says, you shall not oppress each other, and He says that twice. Like the seven-year land Sabbath, do we let offenses go, or do we oppress one another by holding on to various wrongs or infractions?
