| This is, I want to have some of all different kinds. | |
| You know, there's mysteries of history and mysteries of prophecy. | |
| It's called the Jubilee Man. | |
| This is going to have something in here that I didn't, you're going to notice something because I first shared something here, but there's more to it. | |
| Okay, here it goes the disciples writing. | |
| He was holding a small shofar, the sign and the sound of the Jubilee, he said, the year of restoration. | |
| What do you remember of it? | |
| He answers. | |
| It was the year in which the land would return to its original owners. | |
| I said, so if your family had lost its ancestral land, they would return home. | |
| Yes, said the teacher. | |
| Now think about it. | |
| 2,000 years ago, the Jewish people lost their homeland and their holy city, Israel and Jerusalem, their ancestral possessions. | |
| But it was prophesied that they would return. | |
| In other words, it would be a prophetic Jubilee, a restoration to their ancient possession. | |
| So could the Jubilee hold the key to the mystery of that restoration? | |
| He placed the shofar in my hands. | |
| In 1917, in the midst of the First World War, the British Empire issued the Balfour Declaration to give the land of Israel back to the Jewish people. | |
| So the land would be restored to its original owners. | |
| But still missing was the restoration of the holy city, Jerusalem. | |
| The Jubilee comes every 50 years. | |
| If we count to the 50th year from that first restoration, it brings us to 1967. | |
| It was in 1967 that the holy city Jerusalem was restored to the Jewish people, to its original owners, the Jubilee. | |
| And in the same moment that Israel was restored to its ancient city, the sign of the Jubilee was manifested. | |
| The rabbi who accompanied the soldiers to the Temple Mount sounded the shofar. | |
| And do you know what the Temple Mount was when Israel first obtained it 3,000 years before? | |
| It was a threshing floor. | |
| In Hebrew, the word is Goren. | |
| The man who sounded the shofar in the day of the restoration was named Rabbi Goren, which means threshing floor. | |
| I didn't even know that when I was here last time. | |
| And do you know when he was born? | |
| In 1917, the year of the first restoration, the first Jubilee. | |
| So he who sounded the shofar of Israel's Jubilee, the 50th year was himself 50 years old, the living sign of the Jubilee. | |
| It all happened in the exact place at the exact time. | |

Power of Jubilee

|
| You see, God is the God of restoration. | |
| And to those who are his, he will restore all things. | |
| All that was lost will be found again in their Jerusalem and in their appointed time of Jubilee. | |
| And the mission here is, if you belong to Messiah, you have the power of Jubilee, the power to restore the lost and the broken. | |
| Today, live, speak, and use that power. | |
