Wonderful scripture.
Yes, Im sure that it is speaking of how
Jesus fulfilled the Jubilee in his ministry. I would go so far as to say that he fulfilled the entire Sabbatical system too. In recent years certain end-time writers (Camping / Cahn come to mind) have projected the shemittah beyond it's natural fulfillment. This is completely missing the point, and should not be done IMO.
Sabbath keepers do the same thing. It is fulfilled in our 'rest' in Christ.
I agree: "By the word of the Lord were the heavens made; and all the host of them by the breath of his mouth." (Ps 33:6).
The Word of God is Jesus, and God rested on the seventh day.
His work was complete. The Hebrew word shabat is derived from shaba, which means "to be complete". Adam and Eve were
in Christ, and the universe was in a state of rest. Was God going to "go back to work after the sabbath"? Of course not. His work was complete.
The sabbath rest in the law is a shadow of Christ, our sabbath rest:
" Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days: Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ." (Col 2:16-17)
"Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith. But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster." (Gal 3:24-25).
Adam sinned and died spiritually, losing his connection with His Creator. But our Creator came as a man, and became the last Adam, and the Son of Man. Those who are in Him through birth from above by His Spirit, and who abide in Him and He in them, are in God's sabbath rest.
I think you may (and probably will) disagree with me about the rest:
It's a new creation in Christ because the old has been regenerated through the death and resurrection of Christ, and delivered from the bondage of decay:
"Because
the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God. For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now. And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit,
the redemption of our body." (Rom 8:21-23).
When the creature itself is delivered from the bondage of corruption we will see the new heavens and the new earth. It's through the death and resurrection of Christ, regenerating the old creation:
" Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new." (2 Cor 5:17).
I think there is a lot of misunderstanding about the new creation (the new heavens and new earth). Jesus would not have become flesh and become like the creature, to die and rise again from the dead in order to regenerate what had died and become subject to bondage to corruption because of the sin of Adam, if He was merely going to dissolve the old creation by fire, and melt all its elements with fervent heat later.
No - that part is called "the lake of fire" and is reserved only for those who will go to perdition.
The creature itself becomes a new creation - a new heavens and new earth - ""Because
the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God. For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now. And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit,
the redemption of our body." (Rom 8:21-23).
But this will not happen before the time appointed by God, any more than the return of Christ will happen before the time appointed by God.
