"Are these you're interpretations? If not, where from?
I have not read nor heard anything like that before."

Its the simple Gospel, jlfonz. Jesus fulfilled all the Old Covenant.
We are living in the New Covenant of righteousness by grace and not by the works of the law. The Jubilee was simply a figure or symbol of the real thing. That is the Christian faith for the last 2000 years.
This knowledge comes from many many readings of the Old and New Testament and the Church Father and other Christians who lived in the last two thousand years. Christians are the New Israel of God.

Rom. 2
28: For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is
outward in the
flesh:
29: But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the
spirit, and not
in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God.

Gal. 3
28: There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male
nor female:
for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.
29: And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to
the
promise.

Phil. 3
3: For we are the circumcision, which worship God in the spirit, and rejoice in
Christ
Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh. ((your confidence is still in th flesh
James.))
4: Though I might also have confidence in the flesh. If any other man thinketh that he
hath whereof he might trust in the flesh, I more: 5: Circumcised the eighth day, of the
stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, an Hebrew of the Hebrews; as touching the
law, a Pharisee;
6: Concerning zeal, persecuting the church; touching the righteousness which is in the
law, blameless.
7: But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ.
8: Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of
Christ Jesus
my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but
dung, that I may win Christ,

((Can you believe that Paul says that he counts the lost of his Israelite heritage as dung
that he may win Christ. Paul left the dead old covenant and entered the New Covenant
in Jesus' blood))
