You shall thus consecrate the fiftieth year and proclaim a release through the land to all its inhabitants. It shall be a jubilee for you, and each of you shall return to his own property, and each of you shall return to his family. Leviticus 25:10
God loves His people and always had a plan to release captives, restore freedom to the oppressed, and to show the His favor to His people. In the old covenant, it was planned to take place every 50 years. It was year of the Jubilee, setting everything right. It was a picture of our eternal Jubilee that came in Jesus, as He revealed in Luke 4:16-18. The Old Testament people forgot their Jubilee. We don't have to wait fifty years. Ours is available every day.
