利二五10　你们要将第五十年分别为圣，在遍地向一切的居民宣告自由。这年必为你们的禧年，各人要归回自己的产业，归回本家。

　　赛六一1~2　主耶和华的灵在我身上，因为耶和华膏了我，叫我传好信息给困苦的人；祂差遣我去……宣扬被掳的得自由，……宣扬耶和华悦纳人的禧年……。
　　以色列人蒙了神的救赎，也蒙了神的祝福，至终他们都被带进迦南美地，并且每一家每一人都分得一分田地。……在神的看顾之下，不仅以色列人有福，连他们的地都有福。每到第七年，地就不必效力。以色列人在这一年要安息，他们的地也要安息。一到第七年，大家都不种地，因为这一年乃是神所命定的安息年。然后七个安息年加起来，就到了第五十年。这第五十年不仅是安息年，更是一种非人的语言所能描述的光景。……以色列人进迦南地后，每到第五十年就是他们的禧年。……禧年是第五十年，表征我们整个堕落人生的终结（禧年，五至六页）。

　　Lev. 25:10 ...You shall sanctify the fiftieth year, and proclaim liberty throughout the land to all its inhabitants. It shall be a jubilee for you; and each of you shall return to his possession, and each of you shall return to his family.

　　Isa. 61:1-2 The Spirit of the Lord Jehovah is upon Me, because Jehovah has anointed Me to bring good news...; He has sent Me ...to proclaim liberty to the captives,...to proclaim the acceptable year of Jehovah...

　　The Israelites were redeemed and blessed by God and eventually were brought into the good land of Canaan, and each family was allotted their portion of the land. Under God's care, not only were the Israelites blessed, but even their land was blessed. Every seventh year the land did not have to yield its produce. In that year the Israelites and the land were to rest. In the seventh year no one sowed his field, because this was the year ordained by God as the Sabbath year. Then after seven Sabbath years there was the Pentecostal year, the fiftieth year. The Pentecostal year was not just a Sabbath year; it was beyond human description....After the Israelites entered the land of Canaan, every fiftieth year was a year of jubilee to them....The year of jubilee, which is the fiftieth year, signifies the conclusion of our fallen human life. (CWWL, 1984, vol. 4, "The Jubilee," p. 6)

　　每一个卖了他所分得美地一分产业的，在禧年要归回自己的产业，而无须付赎价（利二五10、13、28）；并且凡卖了自己作奴仆的，要重得自由，归回本家（39~41）。归回自己的产业以及得自由归回本家，表征在新约的禧年里，信徒已经归回神，就是他们所失去神圣的产业，并且从一切捆绑得释放，回到召会，就是他们神圣的家。
　　以色列人每家都分得美地的一分。以色列人接受了他们的一分地之后，有些人渐渐贫穷，卖了他们的那一分（25上），因此失去他们的产业，他们的基业。另有人穷到一个地步，甚至卖身为奴（39上），因此失去他们的自由，并与他们的家人分开。迦南美地预表具体化身在基督里的三一神（西二9），实化为包罗万有赐生命的灵（林前十五45，林后三17，加三14），作为所分给众圣徒的分。……神创造人的时候，就定意将祂自己在基督里赐给人，作人的产业，人的基业（创二9，十三12~15，诗十六5，九十1）。然而，人堕落了，在堕落中失去神作他的产业（创三24，四16，弗二12），并把自己卖给罪、撒但和世界作奴仆（约八34，……约壹五19下）。神新约的救恩，由神的恩典，基于祂在基督里的救赎所成就（罗三24，五1~2，弗二8），将堕落的人带回归向作他神圣产业的神（徒二六18，加三14，弗一14，西一12，路十五12~24），释放人脱离罪、撒但和世界的奴役（约八32，罗六6、14，八2，来二14~15，约十二31），并将人恢复到他神圣的家，就是神的家里（加六10，弗二19），使他可以在神的恩典里享受交通（林后十三14）（圣经恢复本，利二五10注2）。
　　禧年……是旧约的预表，记载在利未记二十五章；也是旧约的预言，记载在以赛亚六十一章。……预表是在主耶稣来以前一千五百年，而预言是在主耶稣来以前七百年。……有一天，主耶稣来了；祂在安息日进了会堂，把圣经拿过来，打开翻到以赛亚六十一章。那里说，神用祂的灵膏主耶稣，叫祂传福音给贫穷的人，并报告神悦纳人的禧年。然后祂说，“今天这经应验在你们耳中了。”（路四21）（禧年，八页）

　　In the year of jubilee everyone who had sold his possession, his allotted portion of the good land, was returned to it without paying anything to redeem it (Lev. 25:10, 13, 28), and everyone who had sold himself into slavery regained his freedom and returned to his family (vv. 39-41). Returning to one's possession and being freed and returning to one's family signify that in the New Testament jubilee the believers have returned to God as their lost divine possession, have been released from all bondage, and have returned to the church as their divine family.

　　Each family of the Israelites was allotted a portion of the good land. After the children of Israel received their portions of the land, some became poor and sold their allotment (v. 25a), thus losing their possession, their inheritance. Others became so poor that they even sold themselves into slavery (v. 39a), thus losing their freedom and becoming separated from their families. The good land of Canaan typifies the Triune God embodied in Christ (Col. 2:9) and realized as the all-inclusive life-giving Spirit (1 Cor. 15:45; 2 Cor. 3:17; Gal. 3:14) as the allotted portion of the saints....When God created man, He intended to give Himself in

　　Christ to man as man's possession, man's inheritance (Gen. 2:9; 13:12-15; Psa. 16:5; 90:1). However, man became fallen, and in the fall man lost God as his possession (Gen. 3:24; 4:16; Eph. 2:12) and sold himself into slavery under sin, Satan, and the world (John 8:34;...1 John 5:19b). God's New Testament salvation, accomplished by God's grace based on His redemption in Christ (Rom. 3:24; 5:1-2; Eph. 2:8), brings fallen man back to God as his divine possession (Acts 26:18; Gal. 3:14; Eph. 1:14; Col. 1:12; Luke 15:12-24), releases man from slavery under sin, Satan, and the world (John 8:32; Rom. 6:6, 14; 8:2; Heb. 2:14-15; John 12:31), and restores man to his divine family, the household of God (Gal. 6:10; Eph. 2:19), that he may enjoy fellowship in God's grace (2 Cor. 13:14). (Lev. 25:10, footnote 2)

　　As a type in the Old Testament, the year of jubilee is recorded in Leviticus 25, and as a prophecy it is found in Isaiah 61. The type was given about fifteen hundred years before the coming of the Lord Jesus, and the prophecy was given about seven hundred years before His coming....One day the Lord Jesus came, and on a particular Sabbath day He entered the synagogue, picked up the scroll, and opened it to Isaiah 61, which prophesies that God would anoint the Lord Jesus with His Spirit to announce the gospel to the poor and to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord, the year of jubilee. Then Jesus said, "Today this Scripture has been fulfilled in your hearing" (Luke 4:21). (CWWL, 1984, vol. 4, "The Jubilee," pp. 7-8)
