Lev.25:10
And you shall sanctify the fiftieth year, and proclaim liberty throughout the land to all its inhabitant. 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.

Jubilee means a joyful noise, a shouting with the blasting of a trumpet and a proclamation; it is a proclamation of the gospel, the good news of great. The year of jubilee is the age of grace- the age of Christ as grace dispensed into us as our enjoyment by His words of grace. The New testament jubilee is an age of ecstasy for our salvation.The living of the jubilee is a life in which we take God Himself, Christ Himself, in every situation; then He becomes the primary factor and center in us to lead us and overrule all t troubles of human life.

jubilee (j´bÄlÄ) , in the Bible, a year when alienated property and land were restored, slaves were manumitted, debts were forgiven, and a general sabbatical year was observed in agriculture. It occurred once every 50 years, at the end of a series of seven sabbatical years as prescribed by the Book of Leviticus. In the Roman Catholic Church, the name is applied to a holy year when special privileges are given for the pilgrimage to Rome. The first holy year was celebrated in 1300. The pope proclaimed (1343) that holy years would recur at 50-year intervals; in 1470, the interval was reduced to 25 years. Extraordinary jubilees celebrated the 50th anniversary of Pope Pius XI's ordination (1929) and the conclusion of the Second Vatican Council (1966).

There was a Jubilee held by the Hebrews where slaves were released from bondage.
There have been Jubilees--noticed or not--in the USA. They took place in 1913, 1963, and the next will be in 2013. The Jubilees are celebrations of the year that Slaves were freed in The USA.

People enslaved by war conquest were free to go. Many chose to stay and embrace the Hebrew culture, religion and way of life. For a child raised in that situation, it was all they knew!
