Leviticus 25:23



Leviticus 25:23 The land shall not be sold for ever: for the land is mine; for ye are strangers and sojourners with me. God had a fantastic plan to reset Israel’s economy every fifty years. Every seven years was a Sabbath year. And then every seven sevens – 49 years – was a year of jubilee. On this year of jubilee, every parcel of land that had been bought went back to the original owner. And every debtor who had been sold into slavery went free. God was protecting the poor from disaster and God was reminding the rich that they were only leasing land and hiring slaves until the year of jubilee. And God was reminding everyone that Israel had once been slaves in Egypt. God wanted everyone to remember. God cares for everyone - even those who are bad businessmen. On the year of jubilee they got one more chance to make it right. God is always fair. He cares for everyone – even you!
