Abba Father, NUN speaks to us of completion and rest. The Year of Jubilee is the 50th year – a year when slaves are set free and debtors are relieved of their debts. It is the number for redemption and freedom. For us we will find this Jubilee Rest in Christ when He returns for us at His Second Coming.
HEBREWS 4:11 (New Living Translation)
So let us do our best to enter that rest. But if we disobey God, as the people of Israel did, we will fall.
