So, you have marked 70? Welcome to the season of the eleventh seven years (71-77). This is also called the 11th prophetic week. Every seven year season is a prophetic week. The 11 seven years is the fourth seven-year season in the second 49 years of life (50-98).
The 11 prophetic week is a fourth-season prophetic week. The Bible-keys for understanding the eleventh seven years are the fourth day of creation, the fourth six chapters of Exodus (the book of the Bible foreshadowing the second 49 days), the eleventh book of the Bible, and the eleventh chapters of the Bible, and the last nine books of the Old Testament.
The 11th seven years is a fourth-day-of-creation season in the Second 49 years. Why is it so? Since it is the fourth seven years within the second 49 years (50-98), it is a fourth season; and has its primary decoder is the fourth day of creation narrative. God made luminaries on the fourth day of creation “… to DIVIDE the day from the night; and let them be for SIGNS AND SEASONS, and for days and years; [15] and let them be for LIGHTS in the firmament of the heavens to give light on the earth”; He made the luminaries to “give light on the earth, [18] and to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness”. The luminaries were made to keep the earth lightened, organized, and running smoothly. The world would be chaotic without the luminaries. Why did God create lights on the fourth day; after He had said “Let there be light” on the first day? The prophetic reason is that the fourth season is a fight-back season for darkness and disorder. The adversary comes in the fourth season to rubbish or destroy achievements and accomplishments. He comes to recover lost grounds. The fourth book and chapters of the Bible reveal that the tempter and adversary comes in the fourth season. The eleventh seven years is a fourth-season. It is a fight-back season for darkness; but the guiding-lights God provides by His word, His Spirit, and wise counsel, are the answers required in the season. It is a season to rise and touch the heavens as the luminaries are set in the firmament of heaven; but it is also a season to be watchful because of lurking devils.
The 11th seven years is a book-of-First-Kings season. The book of First Kings is the eleventh book of the Bible; and is guiding light for 11th seasons. In this book, Solomon prospered through addiction to God; but later failed through addiction to martial things. He began by seeking God and God’s wisdom; but ended by seeking to please his idolatrous wives and concubines. By wisdom, Solomon administered Israel to greatness. Israel became a center of excellence and a tourist attraction. However, Solomon was not wary of the presence of the tempter. He was king in a fight back season for darkness. His heart misled him to marry many foreign women; and thereby opened up Israel to idol worship. He was a man of great wisdom; a great brain; a great mind; but he was overcome by spiritual darkness because he did not use the light from God’s word. Through Solomon, idolatry invaded the land of Israel; and the nation never fully recovered from that scourge. The eleventh season is duty-season for deceiving spirits; and that should make us very watchful. The kingdom divided in two in the season following Solomon’s reign. Ten tribes deserted the house of David, came to be known as ‘Israel’, Samaria, or the northern kingdom, and were sold out to idol worship. The remaining two tribes, loyal to the house of David, came to be known as Judah or the southern kingdom. The eleventh season is a time to watch against disunity and division. The kingdom of darkness fights with division and splits in this season. In the eleventh season, you must watch against splits within families, organizations, or even nations. It is difficult (not impossible) to maintain unity in eleventh seasons. It happened in the eleventh century with the Great Schism that split the church into East and West. It happened in Genesis 11 at the construction site of the Tower of Babel. It happened in the eleventh book of the Bible. Unity is the strength of eleventh; and so, disruption of unity is the target of the adversary in the season. To respond to the decadence in the eleventh book of the Bible, especially in the northern kingdom, God raised prophets to confront the erring kings and their people. The prophets were God’s luminaries for the season. Ahijah the Shilonite was the first of the prophets. He confronted Solomon; raised Jeroboam and and also brought him down. Elijah was one of them. He confronted Israel, with great demonstrations of spiritual power, in the days of Ahab and Jezebel. Ahab, deceived by his false prophets, died in battle in the last chapter of this book. The 22-chapter book of First Kings is spread through the seven years as follows: 71st year (1 Kings 1-4); 72nd year (1 Kings 5-7); 73rd year (1 Kings 8-10); 74th year (1 Kings 11-13); 75th year (1 Kings 14-16); 76th year (1 Kings 17-19; 77th year (1 Kings 20-22). The eleventh season is a season of great blessing and great testing. It is a season of blessing that can be marred through spiritual blindness and insensitivity. In this season, the kingdom of darkness fights back with deception leading to materialism, moral decadence, seeking alternatives to faith in God, splits, wickedness, and economic hardship. In the same season, God gives helpful light through the law, wise counsel, and prophetic ministry. Be careful to take advantage of Heaven’s luminaries in this season of the 11th seven years.
The 11th seven years is a season of tests. Every season has its thing; and every purpose under heaven has its season. This is a seasons of tests – testing for wisdom, testing for gratitude, and testing for devotion and loyalty. In the eleventh book of the Bible, God gave Solomon a blank cheque to see what he would fill in. He told him to ask whatever he wanted. He asked for Wisdom and passed the test. He was tested for loyalty to God with prosperity and he failed the test. Rehoboam, Jeroboam, Ahab and Jezebel were tested with power. They all failed the test. The faith of the widow of Zarephat was tested. She passed. Elijah also passed the tests of loyalty and commitment to God. Elisha passed the test of faith in God. He forsook everything and followed Elijah. The result of passing a test is blessing or promotion. In the eleventh season, you must not fall into the temptation of doing everything you have the power to do. Give honor to God because He is the Giver of all things; and He is watching you. The Bible reveals that men are not as wise as they ought to be in eleventh seasons. That is the reason the great and mighty fall in eleventh seasons. Do not take what is not yours in the eleventh season; so that what is yours will not be taken from you. The 11th book and 11th chapters of the Bible give this warning. Those who take what is not theirs, always have what is theirs taken from them. Stay humble Recognize and respect the rights of God and men.
The 11th seven years (71-77) is an eleventh-chapters-of-the-Bible season. There are seasons when the wise are not so wise; and the strong are not so strong. The eleventh chapters of the Bible reveal that in the eleventh season, men advance greatly but suffer through mental darkness. The strong king, David, had moral failure in Second Samuel 11. The wise king, Solomon, failed in the eleventh chapter of the eleventh book of the Bible. He sought and received wisdom from God but honored idol worshippers. The powerful prophet, Elijah, ran from Jezebel in the eleventh book of the Bible. The great John the Baptistt, was in prison in Matthew 11. Ghadaffi, the former strong man of Libya, and the former Al-Qaeda chief terrorist, Osama bin Laden, were both killed in 2011. The eleventh seven years is the season of the master-stroke. It is for experiencing either the divine master-stroke or satanic master-stroke. Without spiritual light, the eleventh season is a season of gross darkness and great deception. The Tower of Babel was started and abandoned in Genesis 11. The master-stroke plague against Pharaoh and Egypt was introduced in Exodus 11. Joshua’s victories against the Canaanite kings and nations is recorded in Joshua 11. The chapter ends with “Then the land rested from war”. In First Samuel 11, the heart of Nahash, king of Ammon, was lifted to his own hurt and defeat. Jesus raised Lazarus from the dead in John 11. Hebrews 11 is Faith’s master-stroke chapter. God’s two witnesses appeared in Revelation 11; and in the chapter also, it is announced that the kingdoms of this earth have become the kingdoms of our God and of His Christ. The eleventh season is the season of ‘the last straw that breaks the camel’s back’ – for good or for bad’. This is the season when people May experiences both breakthrough and breaking point. It is the season of the best and the worst, the greatest and the least, the highest and the lowest, the first and the last. The eleventh season is a season of unprecedented exploits in material and spirit realms. It is also, often, a season of great decline. May the season be, for you, a season of reaching great heights and not falling.
THE ELEVENTH SEASON AND VULNERABILITY: The Bible reveals that human flesh is so vulnerable, and human arrogance reaches the peak, in the eleventh season. Consider the Tower of Babel in Genesis 11, the failure of David in Second Samuel 11, the failures of Solomon, Rehoboam, Jeroboam, the young prophet, and the fall of kings – down to Ahab – in the eleventh book of the Bible, the weariness of John the Baptist in Matthew 11, the 11th century Great Schism in the Church that has lasted 1000 years, or the the fall of Bin Laden and Gaddafi in 2011. Though the fleshly man is weak in the eleventh season, those who know their God are strong to do exploits in the same season. Daniel 11:32 says, “Those who do wickedly against the covenant he shall corrupt with flattery; but the people who know their God shall be strong, and carry out great exploits”. The Spirit came on seventy elders in Numbers 11. Jephthah defeated his enemies in Judges 11, Saul defeated the Ammonites in First Samuel 11, Elijah the Tishbite rose and did exploits in the 11th book of the Bible. The first incidence of raising someone from the dead is recorded in the 11th book of the Bible. Jesus cleansed the temple and cursed the fruitless fig tree in Mark 11, taught importunity in Prayer in Luke 11, and raised Lazarus from the dead in John 11. Agabus prophesied in Acts 11, exploits of faith are recorded in Hebrews 11, John’s vision of the two dynamic witness is recorded in Revelation 11. The eleventh season is a time to pray great prayers and be heard. Solomon and Elijah prayed in the eleventh book of the Bible and were heard. Jesus wept and prayed in John 11 and was heard. May the 11th seven years be, for you, a season of strength and exploits.
The 11th seven years (71-77) is an Exodus 19-24 season in the second 49 years. The second book of the Bible is the prophetic guiding-light for the second 49 years. The fourth seven years (71-77) within the second 49 years (50-98) has it guiding light in the fourth six chapters of the second book of the Bible. Within those six chapters, Israel received the Law at Sinai. The law was the light (luminary) given to Israel to guide her in a world of darkness. In the book of Exodus, God made room for His people and demonstrated His power and love towards them. The first 18 chapters of Exodus communicates the love of God to Israel. From the 19th chapter, God began to demand commitment from His people. In the 20th chapter, God gave the Ten Commandments. In the 21st chapter, there are commandments about servants, violence, and animal control. The 22nd to the 24th chapters are still laws covering different subjects. Exodus 19-24 are about recognizing and respecting the rights of God and the rights of men.
The 11th seven years is for recognizing the rights of God and the rights of men. Men are tempted, in this season, to disregard the rights of others and overstep boundaries. Men are tempted, in the eleventh season, to take what does not belong them. They succumb through darkness. That is the reason God gives luminaries in this season. The eleventh seven years is a season of guiding-lights. The Law was light to Israel. Proverbs 6:23 says, “For the commandment is a lamp, and the law a light; Reproofs of instruction are the way of life”. The key to success in the eleventh season is unreserved commitment to God’s principles. It is a season of ‘God First’. Those who do not give God first place in the eleventh season suffer great losses. God’s word must be your only Light in the 11th seven year. Listen to God’s word, genuine and sound prophetic people, and wise people.
The 11th seven years is Obadiah – Malachi season in the second 49 years. Every 49-year season has an Old Testament side and a New Testament side. The first 28 years is the Old Testament side of the 49-year season. The remaining 21 years is the New Testament side of the 49-year season. The 11th seven years is the fourth and last week in the Old Testament side of the 49-year season; and has its guiding light in the last nine books of the Old Testament. The eleventh seven years is the bridge-season leading to the New Testament side of the second 49 years. It is the bridge-season connecting the Old Testament side and the New Testament side of the 49-year season. The last 9 books of the Old Testament (Obadiah, Jonah, Micah, Nahum, Habakkuk, Zephaniah, Haggai, Zechariah, and Malachi) are lights for the season. They are books of tests and trials. They are books of failure, correction, and recovery. May these seven years be, for you, a season of triumphs and recoveries.
THE 11TH SEVEN YEARS OF THE UNITED STATES (1846 – 1853): Three major things happened in the US in the eleventh seven years: 1) the Mexican-American war (1846-1848). 2) Three Presidents served in this season: the 11th James K. Polk whose presidency extended US territory through the Mexican-American war, the war hero and 12th President, Zachary Taylor, who died on the 5th day of the 17th month of his presidency; and the 13th President, Millard Fillmore. 3) The Compromise of 1850 that brought California into the Union and delayed Southern secession for a decade. The 11th season is a season of compromise.
In the season of the eleventh seven years, you will not give in to the flesh or stumble. It is your season of exploits by the Spirit of God. Sensitize your heart and mind, with God’s word, and be on your guard against the tempter and his schemes. This season, nobody will take what belongs to you; and you will not overstep your own bounds. This season, you will not lose unity and harmony to quarrels, disputes, and division. Happy eleventh Seven Years!
