Spiritually speaking, would God's plan of restoring our land work for our economy? Can we just look at it?
How Do the Land Sabbath and Jubilee Years Work (Leviticus 25)?
God says, "When you come into the land which I give you, then the land shall keep a Sabbath to the LORD" (Leviticus 25:2; see Exodus 23:10-11). Following verses explain that each seventh year was to be a land Sabbath, during which no crops were to be sown or harvested. If any produce grew by itself, it could be used for daily food by the farmer and the poor of the land (verse 6). Debts incurred by the poor during the previous six years that had come due were to be canceled at the end of the seventh year (Deuteronomy 15:1-11).
After seven cycles of sabbatical years, a total of 49 years, the fiftieth year was proclaimed a jubilee (Leviticus 25:8-12). Again, the land was to rest from cultivation (verse 11), and all families that had become poor and had mortgaged their land could return to their possession (verse 13).
These were major economic laws given by God, designed to prevent undue wealth acquired through acquisition of farm land from accumulating in the hands of the rich while the poor become further impoverished. God repeatedly emphasizes that people are not to oppress one another (Leviticus 25:14, 17). Deuteronomy 15 says that following these economic laws would bring God’s blessing (verses 4, 6, 10). God wants people to learn to be generous and compassionate—to have a "give" attitude rather than one of "get."
Today’s world, however, is characterized by materialism and greed. Farmers driven by economics try to milk the last bit of production from their tired soil and livestock. Economies collapse in wrenching depressions—or major recessions—and great hardship affects the world’s economy approximately every fifty years. People practice selfishness and oppression of others.
God’s land Sabbath and jubilee are intended to prevent this hardhearted attitude and the economic curses that naturally result. Man is to forego his crop willingly in the sabbatical year and the jubilee by letting the land rest. He is to acknowledge God as the true Owner of the land and be thankful for His generosity. In addition, he is to share the good things of the earth with others who are less fortunate. The rest from tilling the land provides opportunities for education, travel, community service, and spiritual reflection.
God promises to perform a miracle by granting abundant crops in the sixth year of the cycle so that the bounty would suffice until a new crop could be harvested two or three years later (Leviticus 25:20-22). This would be a continuing witness of God’s power as Provider, just as the manna in the wilderness had been.
The question naturally arises, then, how can a Christian apply these laws of God now? Obviously, an individual cannot observe all the details of these laws, since that would require national legislation. An individual cannot have his own debts released, and there is no divinely appointed inheritance for each family today. But these laws are all for man’s good, so we ought to observe them to the extent that this can be done in the present system. Even where a law cannot be practiced in the letter, it should be kept in the spirit.
We must not oppress anyone in our dealings, and we must strive to be generous, kindhearted, patient, and forgiving. A farmer who owes money to banks probably cannot let all his land rest every seven years, since he owes mortgage and other loan payments that must be made each year. In such a case, it is suggested that the land be rested in rotation so that each field receives its rest sometime during a seven-year period. If one is able to rest the whole farm at once, so much the better. He can reckon his seventh year from the time of his baptism or from the time that the knowledge comes to him regarding the land rest. (Observant Jews in the state of Israel count their sabbatical years in the sequence 1993-1994, 2000-2001, 2007-2008, and so on.)
God wants us to take care of the soil and to recognize that we are merely tenants on His land, responsible for maintaining its fertility. Virtually all agricultural colleges know the benefits of crop rotations and of "resting" land by putting it in pasture or cover crops periodically. Good soil conservation measures should also be practiced.
God is concerned with how we use the resources He allows us to manage. He is judging each of us by how we deal with and treat our fellowman (I Peter 4). Thus, His laws and instructions are not archaic or quaint customs but living laws to be observed by God’s people.
Where are the brains when we need them?
Let’s talk about it, all of us on R/S.
Nothing is impossible with God.
I know this seems impossible.
I just wanted to put this out there so we could talk about it.
Thanks for your opinions.
I sent this same thing to the president when he had that question forum. I know it was passed by.
I know that God will take care of his own.
I was thinking that morgages could be sqashed and home owners could have their homes free and clear and the Government pay them off since the president is dishing out money like its water to a few big cats. There was a lady that wanted him to give every one $50,000 each.
Why do they show us the money machine anyway?
That is so disrespectful.
Spiritually speaking What is our plan of restoring our land work for our economy God gave us this earth ever thing we need what we do with it
is up too us We have the ability too fix our own problems God gave us
this that is what we must do . Why should God do it for us ?

I agree with you that nothing is impossible with God, but you have to realize and open up your eyes a little more and see that God is not going to ‘fix’ this economy.
This bad economy has all been staged by the Satanic Illuminati NWO members, whose plan is to get rid of Judeo/Christian religions all together. There is no real ‘flaw’ in our economy, this is all an act, a well thought out economic depression just to scare people into a One World Government, from where takes place a One World Religion.
Don’t see the signs?
The recent "One World Trade Center"
Talks with China about "One World Currency"
Government’s ownership of businesses, which by definition is Socialism.
Do you see a pattern here?
I strongly suggest watching The Obama Deception. (Don’t worry, its a non partisan film, so its not republicans bashing the democrats, it just exposes the NWO plans to destroy our nation and enforce a Martial Law, which would turn US into a military state.)

A known example is recorded in Genesis 41….Where Pharaoh had a dream that was interpreted by Joseph to cultivate and collect "foodstuffs" the land for 7 years. For 7 years of famine will follow s saving of this food would have to feed the entire earth which it did. No on ran out of money so no one went hungry just as those today. For it’s fortold in
ISAIAH 65:21-22 "And they will certainly build houses and have occupancy; and they will certainly plant vineyards and eat [their] fruitage. (22) They will not build and someone else have occupancy; they will not plant and someone else do the eating. For like the days of a tree will the days of my people be; and the work of their own hands my chosen ones will use to the full.
NO HUMAN CAN DO THIS!!! Isnt that a loving provision?

THE BIBLE
Agriculture is not the foundation of the economy. Agribusiness will not rest fields; they’ll spray fertilizer on it. Factories will not rest every seventh assembly line; they’ll lay on an extra shift if they can. In the modern economy, no advantage is gained by NOT doing something that could earn money. And we absolutely can’t depend on any "plan" that involves relying on miracles to increase the bounty. That’s like counting on the lottery as your retirement plan. Not happening.

Nixon ended righteous money in 1971. Restoring that would be a start, but I doubt it will happen. (The fed creation in 1913 went a long way to ending righteous money, but it still had gold backing until 1971)

Remember Jesus saying, "What is first shall be last and what is last shall be first in all things"
Well Adam and Eve were first and they grew nothing while in the Garden of Eden. God had all the trees they needed to survive. Only when they sinned, did they have to farm and grow their own food.
Gods plan for his people at the end shall return as it was in the beginning. A new world and new heaven and God will take care of his people as he did Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden.
Like Jesus said, "You don’t live on bread alone." Why do you think Moses and his people wandered for 40 years and didn’t plant a tree? Because God fed them with manna, and he was angry with them.
Upon Christ’s return, God will not be angry with his chosen and they shall eat as Adam and Eve did in the garden of eden.
The world has lost it’s true faith in God and only see the ways of the world to survive in the days coming before us. Remember, we are to prepare spiritually for the coming not materially.
Think about it. Gods plan is different than man’s plans. Gods ways are not mans ways. The scripture you quote in the old testament, is of men and not God. God never made any temporal commandments pertaining to how men live on earth in the flesh. If he wanted us to live in the flesh and do things worldly by his standards we wouldn’t have given us free agency to think for ourselves.
Gods commandments are spiritual and not carnal or temporal.
