Fun Fact: A year of Jubilee is an old Hebrew principle, roughly translating to ""a trumpet-blast of liberty.".
Every 49 years, all personal debts were cancelled, and there was a Sabbath on most labor for the year.
Yahweh might be reinstating this now.

Strange system though. Who in their right mind would loan anyone money in the 48th year?
If it's expected, then they simply wouldn't lend anything. People would plan for it and have it built in - similar to how Germany plans for Oktoberfest or Muslim countries plan for Ramadan.
Every 7 years debts were cancelled as well. Deut 15:1.
Yes indeed.
