THE kind-of JUBILEE
WE
WE
SHOULD NOT MISS!
(As THE LORD
wants us to enjoy in
great jubilation in
our respective
individual
lifetimes
before we DIE!)
>>Leviticus 25: 8-13 ~ “Every 50th year
- on The Day of Atonement
- let the trumpets blow loud and long
- throughout the land (of The Jews, then!).
For the 50th year shall be
distinctively unique & different
from all the years
(for only The Jews, then!)
(for only The Jews, then!)
- a time for liberty throughout the land
- to all enslaved debtors, and
- a time for canceling of all debts.
- It shall be a year when all the family estates sold to others
- shall be returned to the original owners or their heirs.
What a happy year
it would be!
it would be!
- In it you shall not sow,
- nor gather crops nor grapes;
for it is A Holy Year
of Jubilee for you.
of Jubilee for you.
- That year, your food shall be the volunteer crops
- that grow wild in the fields.
- Yes, during the Year of Jubilee
- everyone shall return home
- to his original family possession
- --- if he has sold it, it shall be his again!”
This was GOD’s notice for
anticipation and implied
instructions at that time
for the children of Israel
who were still on the
way, and has not as yet
reached & occupied
THEIR PROMISED LAND

reached & occupied

In Egypt, they were serving as
slaves under Pharaoh, having
neither inheritance nor
freedom; only toil.

This is what is continuing to
happen to all of mankind,

>>Psalm 90:8-10 ~ ”YOU spread out our sins before YOU
- --- our secret sinnings
- --- and see them all.
- No wonder the years are long and heavy here beneath YOUR wrath.
- All our days are filled with sighing.
Seventy (70) years are given us!
- And some may even live to (80) eighty.
But even the best of these
years are often
emptiness and pain

- because as descendants of Adam
- we fell into the world
- and got entangled
to our own entrepreneurial
systems, one after another
systems, one after another
- and became captives of Satan and slaves to sin.
- Egypt typified the physical world;
- Pharaoh represented Satan, and
- the children of Israel typified GOD’s people
- entangled in that world of entrepreneurships and order & systems
- in Egypt then!
Even unto our days,
we are repeatedly falling into
the power and controls
of Satan and have

- In this ... WORLD of QUESTS for:
- RECOGNITION, FAME, FORTUNE, INFLUENCE,
- POSITION, POWER, and SOVEREIGNTY
- DOMINATED by THE competing RELIGIOUS, POLITICIANS and BUSINESSMEN around us
- ... to a lesser degree
- by Scientists, Academicians, Artists, Sportsmen, even Gamblers
we have no real inheritance outside of GOD.
- We neither have freedom nor rest
- and are toiling every day
- as they were in Egypt then.
We need the-kind-of-Moses
to lead us away from
to lead us away from
these worldly involvements
HE is calling us
out of as

>>Acts 26:18 ~ “To open their eyes to
their true condition
their true condition
SO THAT
- they may repent;
- that is, start to change & continue to a new lifestyle
- in the light of GOD
- --- instead of in Satan’s darkness,
SO THAT
- they may receive forgiveness for their sinnings
- and also GOD’s inheritance
- along with all people everywhere whose sinnings are cleansed away,
- who are set apart through the faith in ME.”
THIS OUGHT TO BE
THE PURPOSE,
RATIONALE
& GOAL
OF EVANGELIZATION
- every PRIEST of
- THE LORD & THE CHRIST,
- that WE ALL are,
- under The Universal Priesthood of Every Believer in THE LORDSHIP & THE CHRISTHOOD of JESUS
- should be fully aware of,
- consistent at doing and
- NEVER TO BE SIDE-TRACKED
>>Ephesians 1:14 ~ “HIS presence within us
is GOD’s GUARANTEE
- that HE really will give us all that HE promised;
- and The Spirit’s seal in us authenticates
- that GOD has already purchased us
- and that HE guarantees
- to bring us to HIMSELF.
This is just one more reason
for us to praise
our glorious GOD.”
- The above scriptures refer to THE LORD JESUS THE CHRIST
- as our-kind-of Moses NOW(!)
to deliver us from

this world of
slavery and bondage

- a consolidation of TOTAL HOLINESS out of two entirely different and distinct spheres

In all these,
we are to have

lacking in nothing
when
- When the Israelites finally occupied Canaan,
- GOD through Joshua and the high priest allotted the land to each family of the 11 tribes.
- The land allotted to each tribe was not according to their decision and mutual agreement;
- it was altogether unilaterally GOD’s
- as to which tribe shall occupy the different locations and
- the size allocation was according to families.
- Each family was allotted a piece of land, and
- each one in the household was to enjoy the inheritance of the land;
explicitly forbidding them
to sell into permanent
to sell into permanent
ownership by others
- such as was assigned to them for their enjoyment,
- surface-rights only,

Now all these things
happened to them as
examples, and they were
written for our [Jews &
Gentiles alike] admonition,
we upon whom
the ends
(our individual ends)
of the ages
have come!
THEREFORE let him/her
who thinks he/she stands
take heed lest he/she falls.
(>>1st Corinthians 10:11-12)
- In the midst of their GOD-given riches though,
- daghan nila nag-happy-happy na lang
- forgetting HIM WHO gave them
- and HIS earlier admonitions
- as recorded in
>>Isaiah 5:11-12 ~ Woe to those who rise early in the morning
- to run after their drinks,
- who stay up late at night
- till they are inflamed with wine.
- They have harps and lyres at their banquets,
- tambourines and flutes and wine,
- but they have no regard for the deeds of THE LORD,
- no respect for the work of HIS hands.”
Truly, loving pleasures impoverish any one
>>Proverbs 21:17 ~ “He who loves pleasure will become poor;
- whoever loves wine and oil will never be rich.”
>>Proverbs 23:20-21 ~ “Do not join those who drink too much wine
- or gorge themselves on meat,
- for drunkards and gluttons become poor
- and drowsiness clothes them in rags.”

Having known these in HIS foreknowledge
- GOD issued these instructions
- so right and appropriate for all HIS people
- including us now(!)
- ---- to believe, obey and increasingly heed ----
IF WE WANT TO ENJOY
OUR
INHERITANCE & FREEDOM,

>>Leviticus 25:39-41~ “If a fellow Israelite becomes poor
- and sells his freedom to you as your slave
- you must not treat him as an ordinary slave
- but rather as a hired servant or as a guest
- and he shall serve you only until The Year of Jubilee.
- At that time he can leave with his children,
- and return to his own family
- and possessions of his forefathers.”
And so it was known
to GOD even then
to GOD even then
- that they would use up
- and spend their lands in pleasures
- and even their own freedoms
- they will eventually give up.
- BUT THE LORD has unilaterally provided US
- Jews & Gentiles alike
---- THIS AGE of
JUBILEE ----
JUBILEE ----
- when .... by grace,
- HE restores our freedoms NOW(!)
- and our portion of the land in THE NEW JERUSALEM
- @ HIS 2nd Coming
- (at absolutely no cost to us ---- Jews & Gentiles)!
Under GOD’s care,
not only were
The Israelites themselves
blessed, but even their
land was blessed.
not only were
The Israelites themselves

- Every 7th year, their land did not have to yield its produce.
- In that year, The Israelites and the land were to enjoy and rest.
- In the 7th year, no one was to sow his field because
- this was the year ordained by GOD as the Sabbath year.
- Then after 7 Sabbath years, The Pentecostal Year,
- the 50th year was to be observed
- beyond human words to appreciate!
Every 50th year was
a year of jubilee to all of
them, then.

into our fallen state.
- BUT, unmindful of how much they ought to be thankful to GOD WHO made all these possible for them
- many of them became lazy and gluttonous
- amidst their enjoyment.
- When many of them in their pleasures became poor,
- they sold “their” land
- and even eventually ending up slaves to them
- who toiled “their” lands.

>>Luke 4:16-19 ~ “And HE came to Nazareth,
- where HE had been brought up,
- and according to HIS custom
- HE entered on The Sabbath Day into the synagogue
- and stood up to read.
- And the scroll of the prophet Isaiah was handed to HIM.
- And HE unrolled the scroll and found the place where it was written,
- ‘The Spirit of The Lord was upon ME
- because He has anointed ME
- to announce the gospel to the poor;
- He has sent ME
- to proclaim release to the captives,
- and recovery of sight to the blind
- to send away in release
- they who are oppressed
- to proclaim The Year Of The LORD’s Favor.”
- The Year Of The Jubilee was 1st mentioned in
- >>Leviticus Chapter 25
- --- a good 1500 years
- before the first coming of THE LORD JESUS THE CHRIST
- was prophesied in >>Isaiah Chapter 61
- as The Year Of The LORD’s Favor
- --- about 700 years before HIS actual coming;
but, all throughout
even until
these times

- Finally however, on That Particular Day of Pentecost in A.D. 33
- what THE LORD JESUS has been anointed to be
as
THE LORD &
THE CHRIST
for
THE LORD &
THE CHRIST
for
ALL MANKIND
(Acts 2:36)
(Acts 2:36)
- was first preached in Jerusalem among The Jews
- and is to be carried on to our days by us --- Jews & Gentiles
- ---- FOR US JEWS & GENTILES alike TO OBEY
- while waiting for HIS comeback from heaven.
THIS NOW(!)
AGE of GRACE
is with all of us
TO AVAIL
.. Jews and Gentiles
alike
INDIVIDUALLY
NOW to avail in
GREAT JUBILEE!

2nd Corinthians 6:2 ~ “For HE says,
- ‘In an acceptable time I have heard you,
- and in the day of salvation I have helped you.'
- Behold, now(!) is the accepted time;
- behold now(!) is the day of your salvation.
Galatians 5:1 ~ “It is for freedom that THE CHRIST
- has set us free;
- stand fast therefore,
- and do not be entangled with a yoke of slavery again.”
John 8:34-36 ~ “JESUS answered them,
- ‘Truly, truly, I say to you,
- everyone who commits sin is a slave of sin.
- IF therefore THE SON sets you free,
- you shall be free indeed.”
In THIS
AGE OF GRACE
or
AGE OF
(and not anymore just a year of)
JUBILEE
there are two main blessings we are to enjoy:
1. our return to our lost possession
- through the widely opened doors of AMNESTY WELCOME despite our sinfulness, and
2. the restoration of our freedoms
- by THE LORD (only BOSS, only OWNER, only COMMANDER) JESUS.
While we are in
THIS AGE OF JUBILEE
THIS AGE OF JUBILEE
- >>>be led by HIM so that we may become free and be released from all oppression.
IT IS UNFRUITFUL
& USELESS TO
STRUGGLE & STRIVE
& USELESS TO
STRUGGLE & STRIVE
that we become free from oppression.
- The way is to believe in &
- LIVE THE LORDSHIP & THE CHRISTHOOD OF JESUS
- as preached (>>Acts 2:14-36)
- on that Pentecost Day of A.D. 33 and
- have your stand on THAT POWER of GOD for SALVATION to obey (>>Romans 1:16-17)
- mindful of the truth in >>2nd Thessalonians 1:7-8
- and increasingly enjoy JESUS
- after our AMNESTY
- as our SAVIOUR, KING in our daily living as HIS subject,
- JUDGE every time we sin now(!), and
- as our CHIEF-PRIEST IN OUR FELLOWSHIPS
- as HIS co-priests for one another
- as our brothers' keepers
- under HIS ELDERSHIP METHODOLOGY (>>>T#009).
- This way, all our freedoms can be expected to ensue.
- When we ask gifts from HIM,
- with more reason should we be enjoying more
- because we have THE GIVER HIMSELF in our selves
- as our POSSESSION
OUR LIVING
carnally &/or soulishly
NOW(!)
is a bondage,
enslavement
or addiction
to us

--- IF YOU have not
REALIZED
THAT AS YET!
- We can be slaves to any thing.
- Education can enslave us all in it: as students, parents, faculty, even as administrators and owners of schools.
- The poor are ruled over by poverty,
- while the rich are ruled by money.
- Those in organizations are ruled over by the powers-that-are
- and their members are ruled by the hope some time they will be the power to reckon with!
- In this time of preponderance of democracy,
- people enthusiastically promote freedom.
- Yet, we are all living witnesses to the fact
- that we are much more free when we do not pursue
- what we conceive as our freedoms.
Our efforts along this line are
as fast and easily turning into
FRUSTRATIONS(!!!)
- because of our continuing to ignore >>Jeremiah 10:23, >>Hosea 4:6, >>>T#084, etc. .......
Ang dakong blunder pa

- Nga unta anaa man kitay gikan sa DIOS nga JUBILEE,
- nga ato pa gyong mapasulod dinhi kanato
- busa dili na nato adtu-onon pa
- gasto-an pa nato
- dili gani gyud SIYA mobiya kanato
- >>John 14:16-17
- dili pa gyud SIYA ma-jealous kung mag-adtoan ta sa JOLLIBEE
- kay part man gani na SA ENJOYMENT gikan NIYA

>>Romans 8:19-23 ~ “For the earnest expectation of the creation
- eagerly waits the revelation of The Sons of GOD
- (they who are led by The Spirit!) >>Romans 8:14, >>>T#030
- For the creation was subjected to futility,
- not of its own will
- but because of HIM WHO subjected it in hope
- because the creation itself will also be freed
- from the bondage of corruption
- into the glorious freedom of The Children of GOD.
- For we know that the whole creation
- together groans and labors
- as in giving birth with its pains until now!
- And not only that,
- but we also who have the firstfruits of The Spirit,
- even within ourselves groan,
- eagerly awaiting our adoption as sons,
- by the redemption of our body.”
Yes, we are to be
sons of GOD
[>>Romans 8:14]
first ---
sons of GOD
[>>Romans 8:14]
first ---
- before we are to enjoy
- our SECURITY
- that consists of
- land,
- dwelling place,
- inheritance
- and freedoms for us!
>>Psalm 16:5 ~ “O LORD,
- YOU are the portion of my inheritance
- and of my cup;
- YOU maintain my lot.”
>>Psalm 16:2 ~ Oh my intelligence/emotion/urges & appetites & will,
- you have said to THE LORD,
- ‘YOU are my LORD;
- no good have I without YOU.'

- YOU have been our dwelling place
- in all generations.”
