Every fiftieth year was to be a year of Jubilee. They were to count out seven times seven years or weeks of years with the next year being the fiftieth which would be the year of Jubilee. They were to be alerted to this special month by a Sabbath, a day of rest, on the first day of the month. It was a memorial of the blowing of the trumpets. An signal and reminder that this was that very special month. Lev. 23:24 This first day was celebrated as the New Years day of the civil year. A time of new beginnings. The seventh month and its feasts depict a last day revival.
Every seventh year was to be a sabbatical year. Nothing was to be sown nor crops reaped in that seventh year. It was a year of rest for the land. Lev. 25:4 This would seem to be a difficult action for a farmer to take, until we consider the blessing of the Lord which He had pronounced upon it. They were promised a spectacular crop, triple the usual yield. In the sixth year the land would yield a crop which would last them into the ninth year. Lev. 25:22
Inasmuch as fifty speaks to us of Pentecost and the anointing of the Spirit. This feast has significance for the church of today. The Lord will once again visit His people with the blessings of Pentecost. Accompanying this move of the Spirit is a last day harvest, not merely a double portion but actually a triple portion. A full and complete measure of the glory and power of the Lord bringing the church of the last days to a maturity and a completeness which will make Her to be like Him in every sense of the word. The church, as His body, is destined to be filled with all of His fullness. Eph. 1:23 A church possessing love equal to His, filled with all the power and glory of the Lord. Eph. 3:19
The harvest supplied for a portion of three years. From the time of the wedding until the birth of the man child in Revelation twelve there must be a period of time. This seems to portray that period. During which the church will harvest the earth and the man child is brought forth. The Lord Jesus will only marry a sanctified, glorious church. Eph. 5:26-27 There is a Divine principal found throughout the Word of the Lord showing us that the Lord always visits with mercy and love before a season of punishment and judgment. While the book of Revelation speaks of the judgments which will take place in the end of the age it also shows us the precious victories which take place among His people.
