Leviticus
25 speaks of “the Year of Jubilee.” Mark 16 tells us about the Day of
Jubilation, the Day when Jesus Christ was raised from the dead – “Jesus
Christ is risen today, Hallelujah!” The Resurrection of Jesus Christ:
This is cause for much rejoicing – “Sing joyfully to the Lord, you
righteous … sing to Him a new song, play skilfully, and shout for joy” (Psalm 33:1,3).
" ... Will you ... come and stand before Me in this house, which bears My Name, and say, We are safe" - safe to do all these detestable things? Has this house, which bears My Name become a den of robbers to you? But I have been watching! declares the Lord" (Jeremiah 7:8-11). “God demands a conversion of the mind and heart as the basis of peace and security (cf. Is 26:3), not the superstitious veneration of a stone building or a traditionally sacred site” ( R K Harrison , Jeremiah ).
