What Does the Bible Say?
In ancient times, God instructed the Israelites to observe the law of the land sabbath. This law, and others, encourages farmers to rotate their crops and raise both plants and animals. The land sabbath requires the land to lie fallow once every seven years. Among other things, this ensured that people would not take water out of the soil faster than it could be replenished.
In Leviticus 26, God told the Israelites that if they disobeyed His laws, including the land sabbath, He would scatter them “among the heathen” and let their land lay desolate so it could finally have its sabbaths.
