Jubilee Trumpet?

Dear Doves,

Okay, I just wanted throw something out there….  I recently watched a You-tuber who said that this is a jubilee year.  I have no idea if this is actually the case, but if it is, there is an important blowing of a trumpet that must occur on Yom Kippur.  According to Leviticus 25:9: “Then shalt thou cause the trumpet of the jubile 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 jubile unto you; and ye shall return every man unto his possession, and ye shall return every man unto his family.”  Since we are members of the household of God, it would be fitting if we were to return to God with the blowing of a Jubilee trumpet.

     Jesus actually referred to the year of Jubilee during the beginning of His ministry . Luke 4:17-19: “And there was delivered unto him the book of the prophet Esaias. And when he had 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 the brokenhearted, 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.”  Jesus was reading from Isaiah 61:1-2.  He stopped short of reading the last part of the verse: “To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn;”  It is interesting that the Jubilee also marks (and perhaps precedes?) the “day of vengeance.”

I just want to encourage those who may be discouraged after the Feast of Trumpets.  We have yet to crack the Biblical code, and considering who the Author is, we probably never will.  There is so much that we don’t understand.  But don’t stop waiting and looking for our Lord.  It is never wasted time.  "Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing.”  1 Timothy 4:8. Maybe we can get together someday and compare crowns?  

It has always been good to know that I am not alone in longing for the appearing of our Lord.  This site and you all have been a huge blessing to me.  Maranatha.
