Read: Job 40-42
I have to say that God sounds a lot like Elihu or vice versa. God uses the strength of Leviathan to show Job his power to compare it to Job’s frailty. Job repented of thinking he was innocent or worthy of God’s answer. Then God rebuked Eliphaz for all the friends and told him that they had not spoken right about Job. He defended Job’s words and told them to take a sacrifice to Job and offer it so that Job could pray for them. This must have been humbling to them. After Job prayed for his friends, God turned everything around for Job and gave him twice what he had lost. He got the same number of sons but also three beautiful daughters who got the same inheritance their brothers got. He lived to see four generations and died having lived a full life. This was jubilee for Job and this is what it looks like. What a story!
Jubilee happens every 50 years and is the time when inheritances go back to their original owner. You can read about it in Leviticus 25. This year is a jubilee year so everything we have lost is suppose to come back to us this year. We can expect great blessings in our finances and lives. This is the year of restoration. Many will be restored to God and to their families and friends. Lost relationships will be restored; inheritances restored. It is going to be a great year!
Lord, thank you for your seasons. We rejoice in the Jubilee of the Lord!
