Greetings sis Reis, et al;
THese are joyful words from mr.Hawker. The trumpet of the Jubilee was
a most welcome sound to those who knew themselves to be debtors but had no
means whereby to settle their debts. CHRIST is our JUBILEE and the
declaration of the Gospel of HIS glory is that trumpet of the Jubilee which
never sounds and uncertain sound. Rather that gospel reveals the finished
work of CHRIST to satisfy all debts and remove all condemnation for the
sons of GOD.
Blessings, mike

*"The trumpet of the jubilee." Leviticus 25:9 *
*My soul, pause over the subject of the jubilee trumpet; for surely much
of gospel was proclaimed by it. It should seem that there were four
distinct and special sounds of the trumpet in the camp of Israel. The
trumpet of memorials, so called, (Leviticus 23:24) was blown on the
occasion of the new moon, calling the people to the joyful assembly, Psalm
81:3. There was also the fast trumpet of which the prophet speaks, Joel
2:1. Besides these, the war trumpet gave a certain sound to prepare to
battle (1 Cor. 14:8). And this of the jubilee, which differed from all. *
*And although the jubilee trumpet was never heard but once in fifty years,
yet so sweet and so distinguishing was the sound, that no poor captive
among the servants in the camp of Israel, was at a moment's loss to
understand its gracious meaning. Say, my soul, is not the gospel sound,
when first heard by the ear of faith, precisely the same? When pardon was
first proclaimed to thee by the blood of Christ, and the day of his
atonement so manifested to thy spiritual senses, that the captivity of sin
and Satan lost their power upon thee, was not this indeed the jubilee
trumpet, and the acceptable year of the Lord? Hast thou heard this joyful
sound? Hath the Son of God made thee free? Hath Jesus caused thee to return
to thy long-lost, longforfeited inheritance? And wilt thou never forget the
unspeakable mercy? *
*Hail, thou Almighty Deliverer, thou Redeemer of thy captives! I had sold
my possession, sold myself for nought; and thou hast redeemed it for me
again without money. I had sold it, indeed, but could not alienate it for
ever, because the right of redemption was with thee. Yes, blessed Jesus,
thou art he whom thy brethren shall praise. Thou art the next of kin, the
nearest of all relations, and the dearest of all brothers. And thou hast
redeemed both soul and body, both lands and inheritance by thy blood; and
so redeemed the whole, as never more to be lost again, or forfeited for
ever. *
*And now, Lord, thy jubilee trumpet sounds; and the proclamation of the
everlasting gospel is heard in our land, to give liberty to the captive,
sight to the blind, to bring the prisoners out of the prison, and them that
sit in darkness out of the prison-house. Oh, cause me to know the joyful
sound, and daily to walk in the light of thy countenance. Cause me, by the
sweet influences of thy Spirit, to live in the constant expectation of the
year of the everlasting jubilee, when the trumpet of the archangel shall
finally sound, and all thy redeemed shall then return to Zion with songs,
and everlasting joy upon their heads; when they shall obtain joy and
gladness, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away. Hallelujah. *
*Robert Hawker (1753-1827) *
