God's Will To Heal English

The Types of Redemption

with no hope, a terminal condition. If there’s healing in the type, there has to be healing in the

real thing. Otherwise, the type becomes a misrepresentation, a falsehood, or a lie.

The Year of Jubilee

Next we will look at Leviticus 25. This chapter talks about the Year of Jubilee. Is there any type

of Jesus in redemption in the Year of Jubilee?

Beginning in verse 8, He said, “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. Then shalt thou cause the trumpet of the jubilee 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. And

ye shall hallow the fiftieth year, and proclaim liberty throughout all the land unto all the

inhabitants thereof: it shall be a jubilee…” You will proclaim liberty in the year of Jubilee. What

is Jubilee? It is the year of liberty, of freedom, and you’ll see as we go, restoration. “And ye shall

hallow the fiftieth year, and proclaim liberty throughout all the land unto all the inhabitants

thereof: it shall be a jubilee unto you; and ye shall return every man unto his possession, and ye

shall return every man unto his family.” If you had lost something, you would get it back. It only

came around once every 50 years, but when it did, it was a party all year. It was what everybody

had been waiting for, for the previous 49 years, because if you had lost it, and there was no way

you could get it back, the Year of Jubilee got it back. “A jubilee shall that fiftieth year be unto

you.” In verse 13, he said it again. “In the year of this jubilee ye shall return every man unto his

possession.” What happens? Everybody gets their possessions back.

Let me paint a little picture for you because most Westerners and even many Christians haven’t

even read this. They don’t know about it, and if they read it, they wouldn’t see any significance

to it, but it is

very

significant. Just like Jesus is our Passover, Jesus is our Jubilee.

Let’s say you were an individual who fell on hard times, maybe because you hadn’t lived right,

or you disobeyed God, or you got away from God. Maybe you were doing well, and you had a

farm, or a ranch—property that had been in your family for generations. You had a wife and

children and livestock, and you were wealthy. But let’s say you messed up and drank, partied,

and sinned, and you worshiped false gods. You got into debt, and your creditors came and took

your stuff; they took your place. In those days, if you had no money to pay your debts, your wife

and kids could be sold as slaves and the money put on the debt. Let’s say that happened to you,

and they even sold you into slavery. Now you’ve lost the property that you had in your family

for generations, you don’t know where your wife is, you don’t know where your kids are, and

you don’t even belong to yourself. You’re somebody else’s property. You get up every day and

feed their pigs, and this happens for 23 years.

But the 24

year, you get up early one morning and you hear this trumpet. You keep hearing it

all morning. You know it’s the first of the year, but you don’t usually hear a trumpet like this, so

you ask, “What is that?”

Somebody comes running through shouting, “Jubilee! Jubilee! This is the beginning of Jubilee!”
