Financial Collapse & Year of Jubilee

Israel had stollen 70 years of rest of Sabbaths from God so He allowed them to go into captivity for 70 years.  The only day God calls holy is the day of rest or the Sabbath.  Even though there were many Old Testament laws that COULD require people to be stoned, only one man was really stoned for breaking the law in the entire OT.  It was the man who broke the Sabbath by picking up sticks. (Numbers 15:32 - 35) How serious is God about the Sabbath rest?  He was serious enough that He rested on the Sabbath from "All His work". America is not a Jewish state or nation, I realize that, but the princple of rest is so powerful in the bible that we COULD be entering into an involunatry "Jubilee" starting on September 13th, 2015. We are coming to the close of a 49 year period of 7 Shemitah's or the Jewish year of "Jubilee". God was not only displeased with Israel not keeping the Sabbaths, but God hates debt. "At the end of every seven years you shall grant a release of debts." Deut. 15:1.  What was the year of "Jubilee"?  It was a time to releasing everyone in Israel from their DEBTS. Could the collapse of the American dollor or the collapse of "Wall Street", be God's way of allowing all debts to be cancelled?  Our nation practices a form of "Jubilee" through backruptcy laws. Debt is one of the major bondages we as a nation and individuals face.  Perhaps the only way to save our nation is an involutary year of "Jubilee". I am not presenting this a some kind of prophecy, but during today's teaching in the book of Mark chapter 11, God began speaking through me and I was frankly a bit surprised myself. However, I have been saying for some time that what America needs is a VOLUNTARY year of "Jubilee".  We know that will not happen, but it definitely is a biblical principle.  God's ways always work and God has a way of making them work on earth voluntarily or involuntarily.  Do I have an inside on what is going to happen?  Absolutely not, but I do like the way God's kingdom brings personal and national freedom.
