SIGNIFICANCE of 70

 

Psalm 70:4

King James Version

4 Let all those that seek thee rejoice 

and be glad in thee: 

and let such as love thy salvation 

say continually, 

Let God be magnified.

Why is the number "70" significant?

What does it have to do with America?

What does it have to do with Israel?

What does it have to do with the world?

Well, it's 70 more days before Trump sits in office.

That's 70 more days Israel has to wait, and endure.

And 70 days we need to pray for America, Israel, and the world.

A lot can happen in those precious 70 days.

In "Keys to Scripture Numerics", "70" refers to:

"UNIVERSALITY...

ISRAEL AND HER RESTORATION"

The number "70" has great significance.

As you shall see from the WORD of GOD.

These verses certainly worthy of meditation:

Until seventy times seven.

the Lord appointed other seventy also, 

and sent them two and two before his face 

into every city and place, 

whither he himself would come.

2 Therefore said he unto them, 

The harvest truly is great, 

but the labourers are few: 

pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, 

that he would send forth labourers into his harvest.

3 Go your ways: 

behold, 

I send you forth as lambs among wolves.

4 Carry neither purse, nor scrip, nor shoes: 

and salute no man by the way.

5 And into whatsoever house ye enter, 

first say, Peace be to this house.

6 And if the son of peace be there, 

your peace shall rest upon it: 

if not, it shall turn to you again.

7 And in the same house remain, 

eating and drinking such things as they give: 

for the labourer is worthy of his hire. 

Go not from house to house.

8 And into whatsoever city ye enter, 

and they receive you, 

eat such things as are set before you:

9 And heal the sick that are therein, 

and say unto them, 

The kingdom of God is come nigh unto you.

10 But into whatsoever city ye enter, 

and they receive you not, 

go your ways out into the streets of the same, 

and say,

11 Even the very dust of your city, 

which cleaveth on us, we do wipe off against you: 

notwithstanding be ye sure of this, 

that the kingdom of God is come nigh unto you.

12 But I say unto you, 

that it shall be more tolerable in that day for Sodom, 

than for that city.

The number 16

 

Amos 3:7

King James Version

7 Surely the Lord God will do nothing, 

but he revealeth his secret 

unto his servants the prophets.

SPIRIT woke me up very early this morning.

We were to share a post we had written last night.

As we were sharing it with the world, we listened to a Missler sermon.

And another curious number combination came up --

 "16:16"

through a verse quoted by Missler:

Revelation 16:16

King James Version

16 And he gathered them together 

into a place called in the Hebrew tongue 

Armageddon.

That wiped all thoughts of going back to sleep.

SPIRIT made me search Scripture for this new number combination.

So, we searched the Bible for every 16th verse.

From every 16th chapter.

This post practically wrote itself.

Here's what we found:

16 And Abram was fourscore and six years old, 

when Hagar bare Ishmael to Abram.

16 This is the thing which the Lord hath commanded, 

Gather of it every man according to his eating, 

an omer for every man, 

according to the number of your persons; 

take ye every man for them which are in his tents.

Leviticus 16:16

King James Version

16 And he shall make an atonement for the holy place, 

because of the uncleanness of the children of Israel,

of the congregation, that remaineth among them 

in the midst of their uncleanness.

Be thou and all thy company before the Lord,

16 Three times in a year 

shall all thy males appear 

before the Lord thy God 

in the place which he shall choose; 

in the feast of unleavened bread, 

and in the feast of weeks, 

and in the feast of tabernacles: 

and they shall not appear before the Lord empty:

King James Version

16 And it came to pass, 

when she pressed him daily with her words, 

and urged him, 

so that his soul was vexed unto death;

1 Samuel 16:16

King James Version

16 Let our lord now command thy servants, 

which are before thee, 

to seek out a man, 

who is a cunning player on an harp:

when the evil spirit from God is upon thee, 

that he shall play with his hand, 

and thou shalt be well.

2 Samuel 16:16

according to all that king Ahaz commanded.

which he made with Abraham,

and on my eyelids is the shadow of death;

Proverbs 16:16

King James Version

16 How much better is it to get wisdom than gold! 

and to get understanding 

rather to be chosen than silver!

Jeremiah 16:16

King James Version

16 Behold, 

I will send for many fishers, 

saith the Lord, 

and they shall fish them;

and they shall hunt them from every mountain, 

and from every hill, 

and out of the holes of the rocks.

Ezekiel 16:16

and again, a little while, and ye shall see me, 

because I go to the Father.

Acts 16:16

King James Version

16 And it came to pass, 

as we went to prayer, 

a certain damsel possessed 

with a spirit of divination met us, 

which brought her masters much gain 

by soothsaying:

Romans 16:16

King James Version

16 Salute one another with an holy kiss. 

The churches of Christ salute you.

1 Corinthians 16:16

King James Version

16 That ye submit yourselves unto such, 

and to every one that helpeth with us, 

and laboureth.

We shall write another post, connecting all those verses.

For now, we will let everything sink in, and have SPIRIT guide us.

As this is a blog on "GOD's numbers", let's have a look at what "Keys to Scripture Numerics" has to say about the number "16".

We learn that it refers to "LOVE":

"This number is found 23 times in the Bible. 

There are SIXTEEN times in the Bible 

we find JEHOVAH TITLES."

JESUS, Who taught us about love, commands us:

Matthew 22:37-40

King James Version

37 Jesus said unto him, 

Thou shalt love the Lord thy God 

with all thy heart, 

and with all thy soul, 

and with all thy mind.

38 This is the first and great commandment.

39 And the second is like unto it, 

Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

40 On these two commandments 

hang all the law and the prophets.

Scripture has much to say about "love".

Also called "charity" in the King James Version.

1 Corinthians 13:1-3

King James Version

13 Though I speak 

with the tongues of men and of angels, 

and have not charity, 

I am become as sounding brass, 

or a tinkling cymbal.

2 And though I have the gift of prophecy, 

and understand all mysteries, 

and all knowledge;

and though I have all faith, 

so that I could remove mountains, 

and have not charity, I am nothing.

3 And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, 

and though I give my body to be burned, 

and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing.

As born again, I'm alert to everything SPIRIT teaches me.

I wouldn't want to miss out on a thing.

Especially in these last days.

This post is RICH in clues.

I expect to be writing more articles.

And will share, soon as we do.

The ELEVENTH hour

 

JESUS commands:

Mark 1:15

King James Version

15 And saying, 

The time is fulfilled, 

and the kingdom of God is at hand: 

repent ye, 

and believe the gospel.

Is it really the "eleventh hour"?

You know, what Merriam-Webster calls:

"the latest possible time before it is too late"

I don't know about you, but this much I know.

Every new morning is PURE GRACE from GOD.

The Rapture could happen, any moment GOD chooses.

That's why we keep sharing the gospel with you.

I was supposed to have slept already by 10 p.m.

Thing is, I kept tossing, and turning.

I had already said my prayers, why the restlessness?

Unable to sleep any longer, I decided to check the time.

The phone said 23:11 p.m.

Of course, that's 11:11 p.m.

All thoughts of sleep went out the window.

For I had "filed" in my mind my "CURIOUS 11:11".

An article SPIRIT and I had written on 20 July 2021.

It was time to re-read it.

Not that anything needed changing.

More like, it's more timely than ever.

SPIRIT also had me write yesterday the "11th apostle" chosen by JESUS.

He led me to what happens to Canaanites in the end.

And yet, JESUS chose one to be His apostle.

It just shows GOD sees the heart.

And the heart of that apostle was right.

Because I was unable to sleep anymore, SPIRIT led me to do another thing.

We studied a link, attached to that "curious" article.

A very important link, mind you.

Something I had not looked into yet.

Until now, nearly THREE years after.

"Lesson 10: Focus on the Middle East"

Lo, and behold!

That was EXACTLY the information I needed.

Something we all need to know.

The short version of the history of Israel.

And the plight, and future, of  Jerusalem.

Biblically.

That's why I love SPIRIT, so much!

He gives me EXACTLY the information I need.

At EXACTLY the moment He thinks I should.

In EXACTLY the manner He knows I can tackle.

In these turbulent days, our best Teacher is SPIRIT.

JESUS assured us of that:

John 14:26

King James Version

26 But the Comforter, 

which is the Holy Ghost, 

whom the Father will send in my name, 

he shall teach you all things, 

and bring all things to your remembrance, 

whatsoever I have said unto you.

To make sense of this world, you need to be born again.

SPIRIT will teach you everything you need to know.

That you may be ready for that 11th hour.

The frogs are still croaking.

The rooster has crowed.

It's 2:33 a.m.

Sleep calls.
