You say, “Where are you going?”
They say, “I’m going home!”
“What? What about the master?”
“He can’t stop me; it’s Jubilee!”
You think, “I’m going home! I’m going home!” So you lay down your shovel, and you start
heading toward the old home place, while at the same time, so does your wife, and so do your
sons, and so do your daughters. You come down the road, and where it used to say

now it says something else. You see your wife and you see your kids coming down the other way
and you all meet up out there and say, “Jubilee! Jubilee! It’s Jubilee!” and you take that sign with
somebody else’s name off of your place. I know it sounds strange, but this is the way it was. If
you had lost it, you got it back in the Year of Jubilee.
Had man lost anything? Adam and Eve had it all. They had everything and they lost it. They lost
their perfect health, they lost their total riches, they lost their complete fellowship with God, they
lost their protection, and they lost their peace. They lost it. Year after year and century after
century, it was hard, but in the fullness of time, there came One born of a woman. There came
the Master, the Word made flesh.
According to Luke 4:14-19, after Jesus came out of the wilderness temptation, having passed
every test and having put the devil to shame at his own game, Jesus returned “in the power of the
Spirit into Galilee: and there went out a fame of him through all the region round about. And he
taught in their synagogues, being glorified of all. And he came to Nazareth, where he had been
brought up: and, as his custom was…” He did this repeatedly; this was His custom, the way He
operated. “…he went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and stood up for to read. And there
was delivered unto him the book of the prophet Esaias. And when he opened the book, he found
the place where it was written, 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…” to heal, “the broken-hearted, to preach
deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are
bruised, to preach the acceptable year of the Lord.”
Westerners don’t know what that is, but all of those folks knew He was talking about Jubilee—
the Year of Jubilee, when you get to come back to everything you lost. You get everything back
that you lost, no matter how you lived, no matter how far down you went, you get it all back, and
in connection with getting it all back, He includes healing and freedom from being poor. He’s
talking about the acceptable year of the Lord. He’s talking about the Year of Jubilee, when every
man can return to his lost possessions, and He is the Year of Jubilee.
He
is. This time we don’t
have to wait for another 50 years to cycle around; we’re living in the age of Jubilee.
Anyone who will believe on Jesus and receive Him as their Lord and Savior, anyone who will
reach out through faith and lay hold of what He’s bought and paid for, can get back what they
have lost. If you lost your health, you can get it back. If you lost your wealth, your finances, you
