Welcome to the 100th year! The 100th year is the second year of the fifteenth seven years. It is also the second year in the third 49 years. It is a second season year. The Bible keys for understanding the 100th year are the second day of creation narrative, the 100th psalm, and the second two chapters of the fifteenth book, Ezra, the second book of the Bible, and the second ten books of the Bible.
The 100th year is a second day of creation year. On the second day of creation, God made the firmament to thwart the monopoly of the waters and make room for other things to exist. This is a year of triumph over monopolies. It is a season when God makes a way where there is no way. The 100th year is for making a way where there is no way. Sarah gave birth to Isaac when Abraham was 100 years. That was when he celebrated their triumph over barrenness.
The 100th year is a Psalm 100 year. The five-verse Psalm 100 gives us a six-point wisdom, or prophetic direction, for the season.
Psalm 100:1-4 says,
1. Make a joyful shout to the LORD, all you lands!
2. Serve the LORD with gladness;
3. Come before His presence with singing.
4. Know that the LORD, He is God; It is He who has made us, and not we ourselves; We are His people and the sheep of His pasture.
5. Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, And into His courts with praise.
6. Be thankful to Him, and bless His name.
God is our Helper in the second season. He must become our focus, as well, in this season – not just for prayers but especially for praises. Psalm 100 shows that the key to open doors in the 100th year is praising God.
The 100th year is an Ezra 3-4 year. The second two chapters of the 15th book of the Bible is applicable to the second year of the 15th seven years. In the third chapter, they built the altar. In the fourth chapter, opposition began to mount against the work until it stopped by a royal decree. This is a season to battle resistance and opposition. God is a Way-Maker in the second season because way-blockers manifest in the same season. In the 100th year of the United States, anti-Chinese sentiments broke our in America. There were also anti-African American sentiments.
The 100th year is First Kings – Proverbs year in the 15th seven years. The second ten books of the Bible is applicable to the second year of the 15th seven years. In the first four of the second ten books, Israel prospered greatly and then, began to decline, divided, and went into captivity. The last six books of the second ten books are Ezra, Nehemiah, Esther, Job, Psalns, and Proverbs. They are testimonies of God making a way for His people where there was no way. Whereas the Psalms show that trusting God and praying makes a way, the book of Proverbs shows that Wisdom is the way where there is no way. May the 100th year bring unbelievable open doors to people going through it. Happy 100th year!
