  • In Episode 3 of "All The Things That Matter," Brad Cummings highlighted the Bible's "Law of Jubilee," a 50-year reset of debts, land and prisoners, revealing God's plan for universal restoration — not eternal punishment — during a deep dive with Dr. Sherri Tenpenny.
  • Deuteronomy 29 suggests God's promise extends beyond Israel to all humanity, with Jubilee symbolizing a divine reset where "no judgment lasts forever."
  • Cummings argued Jubilee challenges traditional views of hell, citing Acts 3:21 ("restoration of all things") and Habakkuk 2:14 (God filling the earth with His glory) as evidence against endless torment.
  • Modern Christianity often portrays God as wrathful, but Jubilee reflects His true nature — reconciliation over retaliation. Divine judgment corrects wrongs but has an "expiration date."
  • Jubilee is framed as a prophetic, hopeful vision: God's love is relentless and even the darkest parts of creation will ultimately be restored.
In Episode 3 of "All The Things That Matter," aired on July 7, Brad Cummings, co-author of "The Shack," unveiled the startling implications of the Bible's "Law of Jubilee" during a deep-dive conversation with Dr. Sherri Tenpenny. According to him, hidden within the ancient texts of Deuteronomy lies a radical principle that could reshape our understanding of God's justice and eternity itself. His argument? That Scripture's most ignored mandate — a 50-year reset of debts, prisoners and land — reveals a God whose ultimate plan isn't eternal punishment, but universal restoration. In Deuteronomy 29, God establishes a covenant not just with Israel, but with "those who are not here today" — hinting at a promise for all humanity. Cummings zeroed in on the Jubilee's core: "No judgment lasts forever. Every 50 years, all penalties are canceled. Slaves go free. Land returns. It's a divine reset button," he explained. Yet, as Cummings noted, Israel never practiced it. "That's why we've missed the heart of God's plan." The implications are explosive. If Jubilee caps temporal judgment, could it also limit eternal judgment? Cummings pointed to Acts 3:21, where Peter speaks of "the restoration of all things," and Habakkuk 2:14, where God vows to "fill the earth with His glory." "God swears by Himself to redeem creation — not annihilate it," Cummings said. "Hell as endless torment contradicts His own law." The discussion took a provocative turn when Cummings revisited Moses' failure to enter the Promised Land. "He struck the rock instead of speaking to it — presenting God as angry and reluctant," Cummings said. "That's why he was benched. God wanted the next generation to know He's eager to provide." The parallel? Modern Christianity often portrays God as a wrathful judge, not a loving Father. "We've inherited Moses' misstep," Cummings argued. "But Jubilee proves God's goal is reconciliation, not retaliation." Dr. Tenpenny pressed the tension: "Does God's love really extend to everyone?" Cummings responded with a revelation about Yahweh's name — the Hebrew letters YHWH, which he translated as "Behold the hand, behold the nail." "Every breath we take speaks His name. His love isn't passive; it's the oxygen of existence," Cummings said. Yet the elephant in the room remained: What about divine judgment? "Judgment isn't Zeus throwing lightning bolts," Cummings countered. "It's God setting wrongs right. We fear it because we don't understand it." He cited Jubilee as proof that even discipline has an expiration date: "God's endgame is a universe where 'the knowledge of His glory covers the earth like waters' — not a cosmic trash heap." The conversation closed with a prayer and a challenge. "What if we stopped running from God and leapt into His arms like children greeting their grandpa?" Cummings asked. "Jubilee isn't just ancient history. It's a prophecy. And it's the most hopeful thing in Scripture." For those willing to question tradition, Cummings' case is compelling: The God of Jubilee doesn't give up on anyone. Ever. As Dr. Tenpenny put it, "This isn't just theology. It's an invitation to see God, and eternity, differently." If Jubilee is real, then most "hellfire" passages in Scripture might not be about endless punishment, but a temporary refining fire, after which even the darkest corners of creation are restored. As Cummings quipped, "God's vows are bigger than our fears."
