Let God Ring your Heart with true Liberty! If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed! Jubilee and the United States The Liberty Bell, initially cast in 1752 A.D. (now in Philadelphia), is an iconic symbol of American independence. The bells first inscribed line quotes part of the verse found in the King James Bible version of Leviticus 25:10 which mentions the jubilee. The bell rang on July 8th, 1776 to summon the people to hear the Declaration of Independence. Unfortunately, the United States has not obeyed the Jubilee Law. It is widely believed the bell received its crack in 1835 A.D. while being rung. The crack, which occurred roughly fifty years after Americas War of Independence ended in 1783, was severe enough to cause the bell never to ring again.
