1-10-2018 – A Word to the Wise: Essentially 26/27 was a Sabbatical year. This means the people would have been free to go about the country and listen to the Lord because they could not work in the fields. However, it does not end there. Notice that the passage Jesus is quoting specifically states this was also the year prisoners were to be released. This occurred in the Year of Jubilee. Jesus says ‘Today this is being fulfilled.’ What day? The beginning of the year of Jubilee. It is the Day of Atonement 28 September 27 A.D. Jesus will be 30 years old in 7 days. It was the day all the slaves were to be set free, all land property was to be returned to its rightful owners, and all debt was to be forgiven. It is the year of Jubilee.
