JUBILEE is the Celebration of Trumpet Blast for the

Proclamation of Release (Liberty and Amnesty)

JUBILEE IS OF TWO CATEGORIES:

1. Temporal: Super-Sabbatical Release Jubilee: every 50yrs,
2. Eternal: Messianic Redemption Jubilee: at Christ's 1st & 2nd
Comings.

 50yr Release Jubilee is celebrated or legislated across religions and cultures from
ancient times as Nigeria and many African Nations plan to do this year and next.
 Jubilee is cross-cultural like Centenaries/Centennials, Millenaries/Millennials.
 Jubilee is memorable, because it is mostly once in a lifetime.
 First 50th year Jubilee is called Golden by the British since it is the original standard.
 In the Scriptures, Israelites are commanded to observe Jubilee in a specific manner.
 Sabbatical Jubilee Release for all Israel foreshadowed Messianic Jubilee
Redemption which the Gospel of Salvation offers to all people in Christ (Act_3:19-21;
Luk_4:18-19).

THE MEANING & TIMING OF JUBILEE

Yobel = Ram's Horn Trumpet.
?Yabal = Bring or Flow (back).
 Celebration of Trumpet Blast for Release (Liberty and Amnesty)
Lev_25:9
 Holds the same day as the Day of Atonement (Yom Kippur) solemn
Fasting Assembly Lev_23:27-28; which forms the basis for the
Release/Amnesty by God.
 Yom Kippur (Yearly Atonement) gave only Atonement for
spiritual burden of sin and guilt for Israel Lev_16:29-30;
 Yobel (50th Year Atonement and Trumpet) gave both:
- Atonement for spiritual burden of sin and guilt;
- Amnesty from socio-economic burden of mortgage and
slavery due to poverty Lev_25:9-12; Luk_24:47; Act_13:38-39;
 Jubilee is not merely a Bail-out paid for us, but complete
Release proclaimed to us by God, Who is the Owner of all land,
flora and fauna as well as all silver and gold.
 Messianic Jubilee of The Lord's Acceptable Year was prophesied to
include amnesty from imprisonment and captivity due to sin's and
Satan's oppression/conquest for the Church Isa_61:1-2;
 The Cross Atonement and the Parousia Last Trumpet free believers of
all nations from sinful guilt (depravity-damnation) and the mortal
body (death-decay) respectively.

Jubilee is for the Appointed Year/Time/Day:
 Fiftieth Year after Seven Sabbaticals, under Priestly Ministry
Lev_25:8-13;
 Acceptable or Favourable Year of the Lord Isa_61:1-2; Luk_4:18-
21; also called Fullness Times, under Messianic Presence
Mar_1:15; Eph_1:10; Gal_4:4;

MESSIANIC JUBILEE
"Messiah" is "One Anointed" by God for the yoke-braking Salvation of God's people
(Isa_10:27).
Today, we Christians may use SYMBOLIC oil to anoint people into office, or
symbolic oil to consecrate a place or object, but healing anointing in the Scripture
is not symbolic and so should be done with MEDICINAL oils. As for body
anointing, it should be done with COSMETIC oils.
Many English speaking people do not know that when James spoke about
anointing (Gk= Aleipho) with oil (Jas_5:14), he did not mean spiritual oil (chrism
Act_10:38) symbolism, but medicinal oil (Gk= aleipho or epichrio) application.
The use of medicinal oil was the case with the Apostles (Mar_6:13) and the Good
Samaritan (Luk_10:34) anointing with oil, and Jesus anointing with mud
(Joh_9:6-11).
Christos(Gk) or Messias(Gk) or Mashiyach(Heb) mean The ANOINTED of the
Lord or the Christ or the Messiah.
Chrisma(Gk) 1John_2:20, 27 or Mishchah(Heb) mean The ANOINTING(-oil) or
The Unction usually for spiritual consecration.
Chrio(Gk) Luk_4:18-22; Act_10:38 or Mashach(Heb) mean To ANOINT or To
Smear with oil especially for spiritual consecration.
To anoint someone with the special anointing oil (chrism) or with the Holy Spirit
i.e. consecration and commissioning for spiritual Charism (e.g. for Altars, the
Tabernacle, Kings, Priests, Prophets, Exo_30:22-33; 1Sa_10:1-10; 1Ki_19:15-17;
Luk_4:18-22; Act_10:38; 2Co_1:21-22) IS NOT EXACTLY THE SAME AS
Aleipho(Gk), Epichrio(Gk) or Suk(Heb) for other non-symbolic purposes also
translated “Anointing” in English but means to apply, massage or lubricate
with:
= COSMETIC pomade for bodily sheen (Rth_3:3; Amo_6:6; Mat_6:17) or
= MEDICINAL balms/mixtures for healing embrocation (Jer_8:22;
Luk_10:34; which could accompany prayer ministration to the sick Mar_6:13;
Joh_9:6-11; Jas_5:14-15) or
= ANTISEPTIC salves for disinfectant wash (Rev_3:18) for bodily
benefits.

 The First Messianic Jubilee was at Christ's Gracious First Coming by

Atonement Blood for Miracles, Redemption, Regeneration and
 The Final Messianic Jubilee will be at Christ's Glorious Second Coming
by the Last Trumpet Blast for Signs, Resurrection and Reward
Mat_24:31; 1Co_15:52-54 ; 1Th_4:16-17;

WHEN CHRIST CAME, HE:

i. fulfilled all requirement for Spiritual Atonement 1Jn_2:2
and for Socio-economic Amnesty Luk_4:18-19,
2
 ii. granted exigency Powers In His Name for Recovery from
Infirmities (diseases and demonic bondage) Luk_7:22; Luk_9:1-2; through
Gospel preaching done in the power of the Holy Spirit Mar_16:18-20,
iii. guaranteed and gave assurance of eventual ‘Day of the Lord’
for Resurrection Amnesty (from bodily death and decay) when He comes
again for the Church Joh_6:39-40;

FOR WHOSE BENEFIT? (God's People are the

BENEFICIARIES)
&
FOR WHAT BENEFITS? (For Spiritual, Bodily & Material
BENEFITS)
Consecration (in a Hallowed Assembly Fast) for Celebration by all
Inhabitants Lev_25:10;
Trumpet Proclamation of Release (Liberty and Amnesty) for all God's
Servants: Lev_25:10; Lev_25:41-49 from Sin unto Consecration and from
Sorrow unto Celebration.

Jubilee Release (Liberty and Amnesty) consists of:

Socio-economic Amnesty and Succour Isa_61:2;
Release from poverty-necessitated mortgage Lev_25:13;
Release from poverty-necessitated bond-slavery Lev_25:39-42;
Recovery of heritage property lost to others due to oppression
