Leviticus 25:9-10 (NKJV): Then you shall cause the trumpet of the Jubilee to sound on the tenth day of the seventh month; on the Day of Atonement you shall make the trumpet to sound throughout all your land. And you shall consecrate the fiftieth year; and proclaim liberty throughout all the land to all its inhabitants. It shall be a Jubilee for you; and each of you shall return to his possession, and each of you shall return to his family.
The word 'Jubilee' in Leviticus 25:9 is 'teruwah' in Hebrew, which means 'acclamation of joy (with trumpets), loud noise, shout of joy, shout of triumph, and jubilation'. In Leviticus 25:10, the word 'Jubilee' is 'yowbel' in Hebrew, which means "the blast of a ram's horn (trumpet)". This word comes from the word 'yabal', which means 'to lead forth, to bring forth (with pomp, splendor, magnificence - like a triumphant procession)'. And the Lord spoke to Moses regarding this fiftieth year, the year of Jubilee (see Leviticus 25:10-14), i.e. the year liberty was to be proclaimed throughout the land.
How does 'Jubilee' relate to you in the New Covenant? And when is your 'Jubilee' year?
The answer can be found in Luke 4:18-19.
When Jesus was handed the book of the prophet Isaiah in the synagogue on the Sabbath day, He read out Isaiah 61:1-2: "The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me, because He has anointed Me to preach the gospel to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to set at liberty those who are oppressed; to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord." Note: The word 'to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord' in Luke 4:19 also means "to proclaim the year of the Lord's favor."
Then, Jesus closed the book (Luke 4:20), and said, "Today this Scripture is fulfilled in your hearing."
Jesus has fulfilled this Scripture (Luke 4:21). 'To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord' is 'to proclaim a year of Jubilee'. 'Jubilee' is when 'one is being restored to his/her inheritance and possessions', and the blowing of trumpet signifies 'a new beginning', to set at liberty, i.e. forgetting the old & entering the new.
Today, Jesus has become your Jubilee, and this Jubilee is in you! So, you too are now set free from every bondage and slavery. Victory has been won for you at the cross! In fact, when Jesus shouted "It is finished!" (John 19:30), it was in effect a shout of triumph, declaring the beginning of Jubilee for you and me! As a believer, you are therefore 'accepted' in God's Beloved! (Ephesians 1:6) At that time (ninth hour, i.e. 3pm), the veil of the temple was torn, the graves were opened, and the captives were set free (Matthew 27:50-52). And because the ninth hour was also 'the hour of prayer' (see Acts 3:1), i.e. the evening sacrifice, the ram's horn (trumpet) was also sounded at the temple! And 'Jubilee' (or 'yowbel' in Hebrew) also means 'the blast of a ram's horn (trumpet)'.
By the way, to have a ram's horn, the ram has to be killed first. Jesus has become the fullness of sacrifice, once for all, for you (Hebrews 7:27), so that you can be 'at-one' (reconciled) with God. Leviticus 25:9 says, 'on the Day of At-one-ment, you shall make the trumpet to sound'.
People of God, Jesus has therefore proclaimed a Jubilee for you! So, you have been set at liberty! This is the day of your salvation! This is the day of your restoration! This is the day of your renewal! This is the day of your healing! This is the day of your deliverance! This is the day of God's favor & blessing on you! And the time is NOW! Claim back what should be yours! Claim back all your rightful 'inheritance'! Take back what the devil has stolen from you! And wait no longer. Take it NOW! Shout it out NOW! Say: "This is my day of salvation. This is my day of restoration. This is my day of renewal. This is my day of healing. This is my day of deliverance. This is my day of God's favor & blessing." Enforce it by faith. Declare it by faith. Believing, and you shall receive. And all these in Jesus' mighty name. Amen!
