Jubilee

Posted on by Olaf

In April 2012, an estimated £1.3 billion was spent celebrating the Diamond Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth ll.  This is somewhat ironic as the word ‘jubilee’ is a biblical term associated with the cancelling of debts – a time of emancipation and restoration, supposed to be kept every fifty years.  It can be applied to any big anniversary for a reigning monarch and is to be a time of jubilation.  What is it that makes you jubilant?  Is it the same thing that makes God jubilant? There are many indications that you will find this ‘Jubilee’ in the heart of God as will be explored in this Booster. To understand freedom you must first understand captivity and oppression.  With the pandemic of 2020 came an oppression of people as rich and poor alike had to wear face masks, endure lockdowns and long for release.  When a vaccine was discovered and lockdowns ended, people discarded their masks – a bizarre symbol of jubilee.

THE ANSWER

Posted on by Olaf

You could go down a street, house to house and person to person looking for the answer.  The question is what is the question?!  If you get to the end of the street, whichever country, whatever the style of housing, you might come to a House of God where you should find the answer.  You can only give an answer to the biggest questions if you have first had the answer yourself.  If you have, then that answer will be known by you, seen by others who know you and can be known by others who badly need to find the question so they can find the answer by finding you!
