Re: Rest For The Earth.

This will be our first grow year here after Sabbath resting the land. Many people argue this is only for the Country Israel sadly, yet at the same time call themselves Israel.

<@`Watchman> (TS98)4 Wayyiqra 25:2 - "Speak to the children of Yisra'el, and say to them, 'When you come into the land which I give you, then the land shall observe a Sabbath to Yahweh.
<@`Watchman> (TS98)4 Wayyiqra 25:3 - 'Six years you sow your field, and six years you prune your vineyard, and gather in its fruit,
<@`Watchman> (TS98)4 Wayyiqra 25:4 - but in the seventh year the land is to have a Sabbath of rest, a Sabbath to Yahweh. Do not sow your field and do not prune your vineyard.
<@`Watchman> (TS98)4 Wayyiqra 25:5 - 'Do not reap what grows of its own of your harvest, and do not gather the grapes of your unpruned vine, for it is a year of rest for the land.
<@`Watchman> (TS98)4 Wayyiqra 25:6 - 'And the Sabbath of the land shall be to you for food, for you and your servant, and for your female servant and your hired servant, and for the stranger who sojourns with you,
<@`Watchman> (TS98)4 Wayyiqra 25:7 - and for your livestock and the beasts that are in your land. All its crops are for food.
<@`Watchman> (TS98)4 Wayyiqra 25:8 - 'And you shall count seven Sabbaths of years for yourself, seven times seven years. And the time of the seven Sabbaths of years shall be to you forty-nine years.
<@`Watchman> (TS98)4 Wayyiqra 25:9 - 'You shall then sound a ram's horn to pass through on the tenth day of the seventh month, on the Day of Atonement cause a ram's horn to pass through all your land.
<@`Watchman> (TS98)4 Wayyiqra 25:10 - 'And you shall set the fiftieth year apart, and proclaim release throughout all the land to all its inhabitants, it is a Jubilee for you. And each of you shall return to his possession, and each of you return to his clan.

One can choose to follow the Torah, lovingly, or one can choose to accept the consequences of their actions.

<@`Watchman> (TS98)4 2 Dibre haYamim 36:21 - in order to fill the word of Yahweh by the mouth of Yirmeyahu, until the land had enjoyed her Sabbaths. As long as she lay waste she kept Sabbath, until seventy years were completed.

Here is an example of it taking 70 years of resting the land because that many Sabbath land rests had gone by unheeded.
