How do we know that the symbolism of the Year of Jubilee is true?

The truth of the Year of Jubilee's symbolism is validated through its fulfillment in the New Testament, particularly in the teachings of Jesus. The New Testament refers to these Old Testament ordinances as shadows of the realities found in Christ. Jesus Himself declares in Luke 4:18-19 that He comes to proclaim freedom, closely linking His mission with the themes of the Year of Jubilee. In addition, the apostolic writings confirm that Christ fulfills the ceremonial law, showcasing how the physical rest and restoration of the Jubilee prefigure the spiritual realities accessible through faith in Christ. Thus, the historical observance of Jubilee can be seen as part of God's redemptive plan culminating in the Gospel.
