Release and restoration
The Year of Jubilee, the Day of the Lord, is a season of the greatest rejoicing. It is the time of complete reconciliation to God on the part of the Church, the release of the nations of saved peoples of the earth from their servitude to wickedness, the Pentecost of Pentecost's in which the Holy Spirit flows from the saints as an ocean of glory that covers the earth, bringing the knowledge of God to each of the inhabitants thereof.
It is our understanding that the coming of Christ and the blessings of the Kingdom Age are at hand. One of the features of the thousand-year Kingdom Age will be the release of every person from "servitude" and the restoration to him of his "home and property."
Then we shall not be required to fight against wicked spirits in order to do God’s will. It will be the greatest pleasure of all to perform God’s intention in the smallest of details. The curse will be lifted from the earth under the administration of the sons of God. The hard bondages we endure now will afflict us no longer.
People have been robbed of their birthright as the children of God because of the sin of Adam and Eve. At one time immortality was available in the Tree of Life. The beautiful Garden of Eden and the pleasures thereof; a life lived in the Presence of the Lord God without the drudgery of having to wrest from a stubborn earth enough food for survival—these are the natural rights of people by the fact of their being children of God.
During the Kingdom Age all the beauty of nature will be enhanced a thousand times. The creation will be free from thorns and thistles, destructive diseases and insects, and the other curses and catastrophes that have ruined the fairest of landscapes since the fatal day in the garden.
The proper home of mankind is an earth that is gloriously alive because of the immediate Presence of the Spirit of God. Anything other than such an environment is not proper and has come about only because God’s children chose to give their worship to the devil and to accept his rule over them. Christ and His brothers will change all that.
We humans rejoice in the beauty of natural scenes. We attempt to find peace and happiness while looking at a rural scene, a woodland display, or in feeling the spray and listening to the thunder of ocean waves breaking against the rocks of a shore.
However our enjoyment of God’s handiwork in nature is marred because of the pressures of life that always are bearing down on us. Disaster is but a breath away from us in every setting. Truly, we are attempting to live in the valley of the shadow of death.
During the thousand-year Jubilee we shall have a much more glorious environment to behold and live in, while the harassment of demons and other Divine curses that hinder us now will then be absent.
During the celebration of the Year of Jubilee that was established under the old covenant, every Hebrew who had been forced to sell his house and land was given back his property free of encumbrance. Also, if it had come to the point where he and his family had been sold as servants to a wealthy Hebrew, he and they were released from service and allowed to return home as free people. What a wise and wonderful provision from the hand of our God!
