Welcome to the 75th day of the year! Day 75 is the fifth day of the eleventh week; and also the 26th day in the second 49 days of the year. Day 75 is a fifth-season day. It is March 16 in a clear year and March 15 in a leap year. Bible keys to understanding and interpreting the 75th day are the 5th day creation-narrative, the 75th psalm, and the fifth three chapters (13-15) of First Kings.
A. Day 75 is a fifth day of creation day in the eleventh week. God created sea creatures and birds of the air on the fifth day. That was the beginning of moving flesh-blood creatures. The birds fly with wings and the fish swim with fins. Balance is a key word for the fifth season; and points to justice and fairness. The fifth season is when men are weighed in a balance. As a fifth-season day, the 75th day is a day of measurement and evaluation and judgment.
B. Day 75 is a First Kings 14-16 day in the eleventh week. The three chapters in the fifth section of the eleventh book of the Bible is applicable to the fifth day of the eleventh week. In these three chapters, God confronted and judged the house of Jeroboam. In the thirteenth chapter, a man of God went from Judah to Bethel to prophesy against the altar in Bethel. Jeroboam reacted against him but was punished until the prophet prayed for him. The prophet was also judged for disobeying the word of the Lord. A lion killed him. Both Jeroboam and his youngest son died in the fourteenth chapter. There is no difference between Jeroboam and the man of God from Judah. Both of them walked away from the word of the Lord. After the death of Jeroboam, one of his sons, Nadab, became king. Baasha murdered him and took his place. From these three chapters, we learn that the 75th day is judgment day. If you you received the word of the Lord, do not walk away from it – for any reason. God is Judge in the 75th season.
Day 75 is the beginning of the New Testament side of the eleventh week. It is a Matthew to Galatians season in the eleventh week. Every seven-day week has an Old Testament side and a New Testament side. The first four days is the Old Testament side; while the remaining three days is the New Testament side. Going through the first 4 days is like going through the 39 books of the Old Testament. Going through the remaining 3 days is like going through the 27 books of the New Testament – each day expressing nine books of the New Testament. As the first day on the New Testament side of the week, Day 75 has it guiding light in the first 9 books of the New Testament. The ministry of Jesus is revealed in the first nine books of the New Testament. This is the day of salvation, deliverance, and redemption in the eleventh week. The Lord is sending out salvation and deliverance today for those in captivity.
Day 75 is a Book of Ezekiel day in the second 49 days. Day 75 is the 26th day in the second 49 days; and has its guiding light in the 26th book and chapters of the Bible. Ezekiel was a prophet of hope to those in captivity. The prophet received visions of an army rising from the valley of dry bones, and of the restoration of Judah, Jerusalem, and the temple. Day 75 is a day of hope. The Lord is near!
C. Day 75 is a Psalm 75 day in the year. There are three things to learn from Psalm 75 about the 75th season:
1. The 75th season is a season of thanksgiving for the wondrous world of God. Psalm 75:1 says, “We give thanks to You, O God, we give thanks! For Your wondrous works declare that Your name is near”.
2. The 75th season is decision-making and judgment time. In the seventy-fifth season God reveals Himself as the Supreme Judge of the universe. The 75th season is “the proper time to judge uprightly”. Psalm 75:2 says, “When I choose the proper time, I will judge uprightly”.
3. The 75th season is a time to start over. It is dissolution time; a time to set new pillars and lay new foundation. Psalm 75:3 says, “The earth and all its inhabitants are dissolved; I set up its pillars firmly. Selah” Abraham was 75 years old when the Judge of the universe told him to move from the land of his nativity to another land. Genesis 12:1-4 says, “Now the LORD had said to Abram: “Get out of your country, From your family And from your father’s house, To a land that I will show you. [2] I will make you a great nation; I will bless you And make your name great; And you shall be a blessing. [3] I will bless those who bless you, And I will curse him who curses you; And in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.” [4] So Abram departed as the LORD had spoken to him, and Lot went with him. And Abram was seventy-five years old when he departed from Haran”. Jacob and his family were 75 people when they moved from Canaan to Egypt. Acts 7:11-15 says, “Now a famine and great trouble came over all the land of Egypt and Canaan, and our fathers found no sustenance. [12] But when Jacob heard that there was grain in Egypt, he sent out our fathers first. [13] And the second time Joseph was made known to his brothers, and Joseph’s family became known to the Pharaoh. [14] Then Joseph sent and called his father Jacob and all his relatives to him, seventy-five people. [15] So Jacob went down to Egypt; and he died, he and our fathers”.
4. The 75th season is for putting down one and raising another. It is for abasing the boastful and exalting the humble. Psalm 75:4-10 says, “I said to the boastful, ‘Do not deal boastfully,’ And to the wicked, ‘Do not lift up the horn. [5] Do not lift up your horn on high; Do not speak with a stiff neck.'” [6] For exaltation comes neither from the east Nor from the west nor from the south. [7] But God is the Judge: He puts down one, And exalts another. [8] For in the hand of the LORD there is a cup, And the wine is red; It is fully mixed, and He pours it out; Surely its dregs shall all the wicked of the earth Drain and drink down. [9] But I will declare forever, I will sing praises to the God of Jacob. [10] “All the horns of the wicked I will also cut off, But the horns of the righteous shall be exalted.” In the 75th year of Abraham, God was bringing down the country of the Amorites and raising a new nation.
On July 9, five days into the 75th year of the United States (July 5, 1850-July 4, 1851), the twelfth president of the United States, Zachary Taylor, died; after being in office for only 16 months. He was succeeded by the Vice President. Millard Fillmore; who upon assuming office as the 13th President, sacked Zackary Taylor’s cabinet and pursued new policies. In 1782, the 75th year of the United Kingdom, she was engaged in the American War of Independence. On March 27, 1782, Charles Watson Wentworth, 2nd Marquess of Rockingham, was appointed Prime Minister for a second term; and pushed for the acknowledgment of the American independence. The same year, the British parliament voted to end war on American soil; though the war continued in Europe and India. That was the end of the first British Empire. Britain was losing strength; America was rising up. The then British Prime Minister died July 1, 1782; just after three months into his second term as Prime Minister. In the 75th year of Lebanon (November 23, 2017-November 22, 2018), the Prime Minister announced his resignation on November 4, 2017; but rescinded it on December 5. On this day in 2021, 8 people were killed in a mass shooting at a Massage Parlor in Atlanta Georgia.
Watch out for nations that would soon be in their 75th year. Modern Israel would be 75 in 2023. Syria would be 75 years in 2021. Chinese Communist Party would be 75 years in 2024. The North Korean Kim Il Sung dynasty would be 75 years in 2023. The 75th season is a bad season for the boastful, the proud, and the arrogant. Get off their camp.
DECREE AND DECLARE: At creation, God spoke His will into each day. He made us in His image and likeness; and expects us to release His will into each day. Decree this day that the flesh will not overtake the spirit in your life, family,, organization, and nation. Decree a change in the week and declare that today is the beginning of the New Testament side of the week. As a Book-of-Matthew day, decree that Emmanuel (God is with us) takes over. As a New Testament type day, decree that the love of God will overtake human error and failure. Today, submit to the spirit against the flesh. Walk in the spirit and make no room for the flesh. The fifth season is a season of giving spiritual interpretations to earthly manifestations. Today, make it your watchword to walk in the spirit and obey God’s Word. Walking in the spirit is the key to gaining all. Birds (representing the spirit) fly above and eat from the land, the sea, and the air. Today, cry out to God against oppression and for the pains in your life. Speak out also. Trust Him to intervene in your affairs and in the affairs of people around you. Determine to make a next-level move. It’s time to shift base in the spirit! Today, put yourself on the side of blessing by choosing obedience instead of curses by choosing disobedience. Have a happy 75th day!
