Jubilee NOW!

Proclaim liberty throughout the land, to all the inhabitants thereof. It shall be a Jubilee for you... (Leviticus 25:10) What does God have in store for us for this current Jubilee year season? Could it be the de facto authority of Jordan and the Wakf Islamic religious trust now in place on the Temple Mount finally transferring to the Jewish People? Might even the Third Temple be established? Maybe the Biblical borders of Israel promised to Abraham will be inherited by his descendants? Perhaps all these and more, and the final long awaited Messiah will be revealed, ushering in the concluding era of the Final Redemption? In 2015, shortly before Rosh Hashana of the current Hebrew year 5776, Bob O’Dell and Gidon Ariel published Israel FIRST! The Key to Understanding the Blood Moons, Shemitah, Promises to Israel, and the Coming Jubilee. In it, the authors laid out their theory about how all of these components come together to shed light on what God is doing in Israel and the whole world, and how in fact Israel is a light tower for God’s plans. These plans call for Christians and all God fearers to turn to Him and especially to focus on their relationship with His People, Israel, the Jewish People. Today, in the year following the Shemitah, it is our responsibility to explore and delve deeply into the concept of the Jubilee, the Yovel, and try to understand what God means for us to know and do. This is especially important as, in contrast to Shemitah and Blood Moons, there are barely any books written for Christians about the Jubilee. God has left this field wide open so to speak, and in Jubilee NOW!, O’Dell and Ariel introduce this critical topic to the world very seriously. This is especially important as, in contrast to Shemitah and Blood Moons, there are barely any books written for Christians about the Jubilee. God has left this field wide open so to speak, and in Jubilee NOW!, O’Dell and Ariel introduce this critical topic to the world very seriously. The name we gave this book, Jubilee NOW!, rings back to its prequel, Israel FIRST!. While at the time of this writing, it is still too early to say with confidence that this year 2016 is the Jubilee year, it is also not responsible to declare that it cannot be. Our title therefore is actually a prayer, beseeching God that He will do His will, and may that will include the blessings of the Jubilee. In Jubilee NOW!, readers join the authors jumping into a journey of discovery, each chapter bringing you one step closer to solving an ancient mystery, rediscovering God's plans and purposes: Jubilee NOW!
