The sixth 49 years of a nation begins after the 245th year. The sixth 49 years of the United Kingdom started 1952 and ended 2001. The sixth 49 years of the United States began 2021’and will end 2070. There are five numeric patterns in the Bible that hold the key to understanding this season of nations. They are 1) the story of creation on the sixth day; 2) the sixth book of the Bible; 3) the sixth chapters of the Bible; 4) the sixth seven books of the Bible, and 5), the sixth seven chapters of the Bible. These patterns show what ought to happen and what could happen in this season of the nation depending on how the nation positions herself. This applies to all nations regardless of their religious leaning.
A. Pattern 1: The Sixth Day of Creation. The Biblical creation narrative is key to understanding all dated and numbered seasons. Each day of creation is decoder for the season that corresponds to it. The account of the sixth day of creation is key to understanding all sixth seasons – sixth day, sixth week, sixth seven weeks, sixth month, sixth year, sixth seven years, sixth 49 years or sixth century. The Creator did four things on the sixth day; and each of those things have implications.
- 1. The Creator began to populate the earth with living creatures made from the earth. Before the sixth day, there were no creatures working the face of the earth. In the sixth 49 years of nations there are two conflicting agenda. The first agenda is a depopulation plan and it is an evil agenda. It is often not a deliberate pursuit. It comes through wickedness, perversion, war, violence, epidemics, natural disasters, economic woes and hunger. The population plan comes through, marriages, protection of lives, improved health and living condition and standards. Nations going through the sixth 49 years must think population. They must have solid plans for protecting and taking care of her people. .
- 2. The Creator made two categories of flesh and blood creatures. He made godly and ungodly creatures. The godly creatures were the male and female man. He made them in His image and after His likeness. They were made to express righteousness, wisdom (intelligence) and truthfulness (transparency.) The ungodly creatures are the beasts, cattle and creeping things. They were not made in the image and likeness of the Creator. They represent wickedness, foolishness, and craftiness. The Creator gave the godly creatures rule and dominion over the ungodly creatures. The sixth 49 years of a nation is a season of intense conflict between the godly and the ungodly. The godly must work and fight hard to have control with male-female efforts from initiators and finishers and from planners and implementers.
- 3. The Creator blessed the godly creatures with fruitfulness and multiplication. He did nothing to suggest He wants population control for the godly in this season. He intends population growth for the godly in this season. God planned it that man would outnumber animals. So, the godly must labor to outnumber the ungodly in this season. This is a season to fight for population growth.
4. The Creator made the last creatures on the sixth day. The sixth season is for finishing all work – in preparation for rest in the seventh season. He did not create anything on the seventh day. He also instituted for man that work must end on the sixth day of the week; and in the sixth year of every seven years. In this sixth 49 days of the year, you must rise up to work; and give no room to slothfulness. Don’t kill yourself with work. Just take on things that need finishing; and see them finished. Whether it is the overthrow and displacement of the wicked, the possessing of your inheritance, the creation and production of your masterpiece for the year, or the generation of life and sustenance from your spirit. Let the work be done in this season! Walk and work by faith. The season of the sixth 49 years is the season of ‘the masterpiece’.
4. The sixth season is for special Creator-creature communication. It is a prayer season. Jesus taught His disciples to pray in Matthew 6; and the apostles affirmed their commitment to prayer in Acts 6. Prayer is communion with God. Joshua led to win her battles in the sixth book of the Bible through communion with God The sixth day was the first time God communicated deeply with His creation. This sixth 49 days, give yourself to prayer and let ears be open towards Heaven to receive guidance concerning your purpose and provisions. Firstly, God spoke to man concerning his work. He blessed man to be fruitful and multiply; to fill the earth and subdue it; to have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over every living thing that moves on the earth.” The sixth season is a time to work with a fruitfulness and multiplication mindset. It is also a time to work to subdue and have dominion. The sixth chapter of Proverbs shows that the sixth season is a time to kick out laziness and work.
The Creator spoke to man concerning his food and what the other creatures would eat. Genesis 1:29-30 says, “And God said, “See, I have given you every herb that yields seed which is on the face of all the earth, and every tree whose fruit yields seed; to you it shall be for food. Also, to every beast of the earth, to every bird of the air, and to everything that creeps on the earth, in which there is life, I have given every green herb for food”; and it was so.” God gives food to men in the sixth season. In Genesis 6:21, God said to Noah, “And you shall take for yourself of all food that is eaten, and you shall gather it to yourself; and it shall be food for you and for them.”. In the sixth book of the Bible, He planted Israel in a land that flows with milk and honey; to eat bread without scarceness. In Judges 6, Gideon was harvesting crops and hiding them from the Midianites. In Second Kings 6, there was famine in Israel and two women pledged to cook and eat their children. Earlier in the chapter, Israel made a great feast for Syrian soldiers that Elisha made blind. Proverbs 6 directs the lazy man to go to ants and learn how they gather their food. Food is important in the sixth season. In Matthew 6, Jesus taught us ask the Father to give us our daily bread; and to not worry about what to eat or drink. In Mark 6, Jesus fed multitudes with five loaves and two fish. In the sixth chapter of John, Jesus fed multitudes and introduced Himself as the bread of life. In the sixth chapter of Acts, the deacons were appointed to serve tables and distribute food to widows. First Timothy 6 says we should be content with having food and raiment. It is a curse to be without food and necessities in the sixth season. Revelation 6:6 says, “And I heard a voice in the midst of the four living creatures saying, “A quart of wheat for a denarius, and three quarts of barleyfor a denarius; and do not harm the oil and the wine.”
Herbs represent the Word of God that heals. The sixth season is a time to prosper or be sustained through the word of God or divine instructions. It is a season of special divine guidance. The word is man’s food in the sixth season. That is the reason God said man shall not live by bread alone but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God. That is also the reason God told Joshua the word of God shall not depart from his mouth in the sixth book of the Bible.
B. The sixth 49 years is a book of Joshua season. Joshua is the sixth book of the Bible. In this book, God gave Israel the Land He Promised their Fathers. They overcame barriers and fought their enemies through divine guidance; and took possession the land of the Canaanites. The sixth 49 years is the time to lay hold on the Promised Land of the year. It is the season to come into, and settle in, the inheritance for the year. May the Lord make it so for you. In this season, I pray you will not be like the Canaanites who lost their lands, possessions, and lives, in the sixth book of the Bible. As the seed of Abraham, this sixth season is not for losses but for gains; it is not for defeat but for victories.
To apply the sixth book of the Bible to the sixth 49 years of a nation, we divide the 21 chapter-book into seven seasons of seven years each. That way, every three chapters of the book will apply to a seven year season within the sixth 49 years.
Joshua 1-4: the 36th seven years. This is the ‘crossing the Jordan’ season
Joshua 5-8 the 37th seven years. This is the ‘conquering Jericho’ season
Joshua 9-12: the 38th seven years. This is ‘Ai-Gibeon’ season.
Joshua 13-15: the 39th seven years. This is the ‘season of the last battles’.
Joshua 16-18: the 40th seven years. This is the beginning of the ‘share the land season’.
Joshua 19-21: the 41st seven years. This season is for continuation of ‘sharing the land’.
Joshua 22-24: the 42nd seven years. This is the season of rest and handing over to the next generation.
C. The sixth 49 years is a sixth-seven-books-of-the-Bible season. The sixth seven books of the Bible are Zephaniah, Haggai, Zechariah, Malachi, Matthew, Mark, and Luke. Each book represents a seven year season. In the sixth seven books of the Bible, the Old Testament ends and the New Testament begins. In the sixth 49 days of the year, the Old Testament stories of the year will end and the New Testament of the year will begin. The sixth seven books of the Bible are about judgment and mercy. May the mercy of God overtake judgment in this season. The Savior and Messiah appeared within the sixth seven book of the Bible to fulfill prophecies, manifest God among men, heal the sick, deliver the oppressed, raise the dead, and preach the good news.
The 36th seven years is a book of Zephaniah season
