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.
