Welcome to the 247th day of the year! Day 247 is the second day of the 36th week; the second day of the first week in the sixth 49 days; the second day in the sixth 49 days of the year. It is September 4 in a clear year and September 3 in a leap year. The basic Bible patterns for understanding Day 247 are
The narrative of the second day of creation.
The second section of the 36th book of the Bible.
The second 10 books of the Bible.
Day 247 is a second day of creation day. On the second day of creation, God released the firmament from the midst of the waters to thwart the monopoly of the waters. God created space on the second day. The second season is for securing help to have or make way where there is no way. The second season is when God makes a way by removing dysfunctional space-blockers and oppressive monopolies. Often, He does this in answer to prayers. God releases HELP in the second season in answer to prayers.
Day 247 is a book of Exodus day in the sixth 49 days of the year. Exodus is the second book of the Bible; and is applicable to the second day in the sixth 49 days of the year. God overpowered Pharaoh to deliver Israel from Egyptian bondage. He made a way for Israel when Pharaoh said there is no way. Pharaoh was compelled Israel following ten terrible plagues that came upon the land because of the pride and stubbornness of Pharaoh’s heart. After God delivered Israel from Egypt by a mighty hand, and led them across the Red Sea, God began to teach and demand loyalty from Israel. The second chapters of the Bible are also applicable to this day. Day 247 is a day of receiving help from God and responding to His goodness.
Day 247 is a Zephaniah 1: 7-13 day. The second section of the 36th book of the Bible is applicable to the second day of the 36th week of the year. In this passage, God introduced His plan to respond or react to the pride and arrogance of those who think God is weak or indifferent; and say they are untouchable. God tackles pride in the second season. Zephaniah 1:7-13 says, “Be silent in the presence of the Lord GOD; For the day of the LORD is at hand, For the LORD has prepared a sacrifice; He has invited His guests. [8] “And it shall be, In the day of the LORD’s sacrifice, That I will punish the princes and the king’s children, And all such as are clothed with foreign apparel. [9] In the same day I will punish All those who leap over the threshold, Who fill their masters’ houses with violence and deceit. [10] “And there shall be on that day,” says the LORD, “The sound of a mournful cry from the Fish Gate, A wailing from the Second Quarter, And a loud crashing from the hills. [11] Wail, you inhabitants of Maktesh! For all the merchant people are cut down; All those who handle money are cut off. [12] “And it shall come to pass at that time That I will search Jerusalem with lamps, And punish the men Who are settled in complacency, Who say in their heart, ‘The LORD will not do good, Nor will He do evil.’ [13] Therefore their goods shall become booty, And their houses a desolation; They shall build houses, but not inhabit them; They shall plant vineyards, but not drink their wine.” It is dangerous to obstruct God’s move or will; or be an obstacle in His way, in the second season.
Day 247 is First Kings – Proverbs Day in the 36th week. Going through any week is like taking a journey through the Bible. Every week has an Old Testament side and a New Testament side. The first four days of the week belong to the Old Testament side and express the 39 books of the Old Testament. The remaining three days of the week constitute the New Testament side and express the 27 books of the New Testament. The second day of the week is the second day in the Old Testament side of the week; and expresses the second 10 books of the Old Testament and the Bible. In the second 10 books of the Bible, God wanted the kings of Israel to trust Him and lead the nation in the same direction. Beginning with Solomon, the kings of Israel began to patronise Idols. Idol worship became official in the northern kingdom following the split. Judah followed. Prophets rose in this season to call the nation back to God. Eventually, the two kingdoms went into captivity – the north fell to Assyria; and the south to the Babylonians. The Jews did return from captivity after 70 years. The last two books in this section of the Bible (Psalms and Proverbs) show that loss of faith in God is prelude to the loss of all things in the second season; but faith in God is the secret of power and strength. The faithful will triumph in the second season no matter what happens.
Day 247 is the Fourth Day of the Ninth Month. It is a day to seek God and receive words from His mouth about how to live and what to do. This is a day to express dependence on God and receive help and direction from Him. Zechariah 7 is about something that happened on “fourth Day of the ninth month”. Zechariah 7:1-3 says, “Now in the fourth year of King Darius it came to pass that the word of the LORD came to Zechariah, on the fourth day of the ninth month, Chislev, [2] when the people sent Sherezer, with Regem-Melech and his men, to the house of God, to pray before the LORD, [3] and to ask the priests who were in the house of the LORD of hosts, and the prophets, saying, “Should I weep in the fifth month and fast as I have done for so many years?” The Lord gave His word to those who sought Him. Zechariah 7:8-10 says, “Then the word of the LORD came to Zechariah, saying, [9] “Thus says the LORD of hosts: ‘Execute true justice, Show mercy and compassion Everyone to his brother. [10] Do not oppress the widow or the fatherless, The alien or the poor. Let none of you plan evil in his heart Against his brother.” We can go to the Lord with questions at anytime and receive answers but it is interesting to know there is a Biblical example of seeking God on this day.
DECREE AND DECLARE: God made us in His image and likeness to rule, have dominion, and impose His will on seasons; as He did with the seven days of creation. He decreed what He wanted for each day. We are to decree what is revealed concerning each day. Today, declare that your faith will not fail; and that the faithful will triumph. Decree the downfall of those who disregard God and trust in themselves or idols, Today, prophesy and overthrow evil controlling powers by the word of the Lord. Mercy makes a way where there is no way. Today is a day of divine intervention and mercy. Today, release the word of the Lord against oppressive mountains in your life and in your world. Raise a cry to God against the proud and wicked in the land. Today, trust God to make a way where there is no way. Proclaim His word, Pray to Him. Praise Him! Happy Day 247!
