Day 266 is a seventh day of creation day in the 38th week. On the seventh day of creation, God ended His work and rested. He also blessed the seventh day and made it holy (distinct, sanctified, set apart). The seventh season is a distinct season. The seventh day is a day of rest and day of no-labor. It is a season of release from yokes and burdens. The seventh season is an end-point. Heaven ties up operations in the seventh season. The seventh is God’s last in any set of seven. Since God rested on the seventh day, He intends that men rest in the seventh season. The intention of the enemy for the seventh season is to give men distress and unrest. The seventh book and chapters of the Bible confirm this. Israel had no rest in the book of Judges. Many seventh chapters of the Bible are about death and destruction- except when God intervenes.
What is the key to rest in the seventh season? Absolute faith and confidence in God! When you trust God, you are free from worries and fears. When you trust God, you no longer sweat; because you are no longer expending your energy; but leaning and depending on the strength, wisdom, and integrity of God. To trust God means to cease from your labors; to cease from looking unto yourself – what you have or do not have. That is rest!
Hebrews 4:1-10 says, “Therefore, since a promise remains of entering His rest, let us fear lest any of you seem to have come short of it. [2] For indeed the gospel was preached to us as well as to them; but the word which they heard did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in those who heard it. [3] For we who have believed do enter that rest, as He has said: “So I swore in My wrath, ‘They shall not enter My rest,'” although the works were finished from the foundation of the world. [4] For He has spoken in a certain place of the seventh day in this way: “And God rested on the seventh day from all His works”; [5] and again in this place: “They shall not enter My rest.” [6] Since therefore it remains that some must enter it, and those to whom it was first preached did not enter because of disobedience, [7] again He designates a certain day, saying in David, “Today,” after such a long time, as it has been said: “Today, if you will hear His voice, Do not harden your hearts.” [8] For if Joshua had given them rest, then He would not afterward have spoken of another day. [9] There remains therefore a rest for the people of God. [10] For he who has entered His rest has himself also ceased from his works as God did from His”.
Day 266 is a book of Ecclesiastes day in the sixth 49 days of the year. It is also a 21st chapters of the Bible day. Ecclesiastes is the 21st book of the Bible; and is applicable to the 21st day in the sixth 49 days of the year. The book of Ecclesiastes is not a book of rest but of laboring under the sun and grasping after the wind. Man is in despair in this book. He asks questions, makes researches, draws inferences and conclusions. The greatest finding of man in the book of Ecclesiastes is that to fear God and keep His commandments is the whole duty of man. For many, Day 266 is a day of restless wondering; but for others, it is a day of preoccupation with God and His pleasures.
Day 266 is a Zechariah 13-14 day in the 38th week of the year. The 13th and 14th chapters of Zechariah illustrate the nature of the seventh day of the 38th week. The 13th chapter indicate that the seventh season is God’s season of war against idols, idol worshippers, and false prophets. In this war, God will save a remnant who will be loyal to Him; and whom He would acknowledge. The 14th chapter is about the day of the Lord – the day of the Lord’s operations. In this chapter, God takes responsibility for dealing with the enemies of His people; for restoring Judah, and for bringing the nations to submission. All that His people need do is to believe His Word and watch Him bring it to pass. Many who claim to be trusting God are still laboring and sweating. They are worried about things God said He would do. They are still carrying the loads and bearing the burdens. They need to enter into rest. Day 266 is the day of God’s battle for those who believe His word and have entered into rest.
Day 266 is a Hebrews – Revelation day in the 38th week. Every week is like a journey through the Bible. Every week also 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 seventh day of the week is the third and last day in the New Testament side of the week; and expresses the third nine books of the New Testament. Day 266 is the day of the last battle and ultimate triumph in the 38th week. The third 9 books of the N.T are books of correction, recovery, and restoration.
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, decree the downfall of the wicked and the lifting and establishment of the just. Today, prophesy and declare war against the self-centered enemies of God. Today, raise a cry against wickedness; trust in the Lord, hope in Him, and take refuge in His grace and mercy. Today, prophesy restoration and blessing on God’s people because of the finished work; and prophesy against ungodliness. This is a day of “IT IS DONE”. Today, you will have pleasure by seeking the pleasure of God. Today, make it priority to honor God. Obey Him. If you missed it anywhere, repent and return to God. This is a day to go back to Bethel. Today, as an expression of faith in God’s word, give thanks to Him and praise Him for what He said He would do. Confess that He would do it; and then watch Him do it. Happy 266th day!
