God commands that every seventh day we rest, every seventh year we let the land rest, and every 50th year we forgive all debts. Why does God mandate so much rest, and why, in particular, get involved in banking and credit issues? Debt can be a tool of control - even enslavement - and the forgiveness of debts a good social “reset” to restore society and prevent abuse.
The Year of Jubilee - sermon Oct 11, 2020
God commands that we let the farmland lie fallow every seventh year, that it may have rest. This is both good for the environment, to avoid soil depletion, but also a practice for life that we avoid burnout.
