Everlasting JoyYobeliee means Gladness
Every 49th year (7x7 years), people of the Old Testament celebrated the year of jubilee, which was called YOBEL. It signified God's mercy and faithfulness toward his people.
Yobel, Jubilee, Yobeliee
- In the times of the Old Testament, people heralded the year of jubilee by blowing silver trumpets, which had a very special and wonderful sound.
- Therefore, in its original meaning, YOBEL expresses the signal of silver trumpets announcing the «Year of Jubilee», in which people were freed from debts and slavery. That is how they could start a new life.
- That is how the word YOBEL became the root word for the English word Jubliee and the German word Jubel, meaning joyful singing.
- «Everlasting Joy» expresses the never-ending gladness that results from Gods mercy on our lives:
«The redeemed of the Lord shall come with singing ...
and everlasting joy shall be upon their head.» Isaiah 51,11
A style representing novelty
- The art nouveau style was born at the beginning of the 20th century, symbolizing the desire to turn away from old school movements and to bring forth novelty.
- Art nouveau artists expressed a new way of thinking, that even shaped everyday items into objects of beauty and exquisiteness. Overall, art nouveau became a style representing originality and novelty.
- We carefully used the impression of art nouveau for the design of Yobeliee, with the intention of visualizing the originality and uniqueness of this product, as well as the spirit of starting a new life.
