Fiftieth Year or the Jubilee Year to be a Year of Rest

Updated: Aug 21

The Covid-19 pandemic spread in 2020. Give or take a handful of years, a lot of American companies/institutions celebrated their 50th anniversaries near that time. Examples of companies who celebrated 50 year anniversaries right after the pandemic when more people than normal were at home instead of work are Walt Disney (2021), Southwest (2021), Amtrak (2021), Liberty University (2021-2022 school year), nearby Massanutten Resort and JMU's football team (2021), Starbucks (2021).

I read about the 50 year rest in the Bible's Old Testament and it just made me think about the connection of company's 50 year anniversaries, to the rest from being present at work that Americans got because of the pandemic.


I don't mean to assume to know that GOD sent the pandemic. (Only GOD knows everything!) I do mean that even when the forces of darkness think evil against us, GOD can still make good come from it. (vs. 20)

Genesis 50:19-21 (King James Version)

19 "And Joseph said unto them, Fear not: for am I in the place of God?

20 But as for you, ye thought evil against me; but God meant it unto good, to bring to pass, as it is this day, to save much people alive.

21 Now therefore fear ye not: I will nourish you, and your little ones. And he comforted them, and spake kindly unto them."
