FOUR BIBLICAL PATTERNS FOR THE DAY
There are four basic biblical patterns for this day:
1. The second day of creation (Genesis 1: 6-8)
2. Isaiah 11-20
3. The 9th book of the Bible (First Samuel)
4. The second 10 books of the Bible.
Day 156 is a second day of creation season. God made the firmament on the second day of creation. The creation and existence of the firmament made room and space for other things to exist. The second season is a day of great help. God gives help in second seasons like the 156th day. In this season, He makes way where there is none.
Day 156 is a 9th season day. It is the 9th day in the fourth 7 weeks of the year. The ninth season (the second of the second seven) is also a day of great help. It is a season of deliverance from oppression, destruction, and death (for the godly). The Jews in Persia received great help in Esther 9. Saul received help in First Samuel 9. The ninth book of the Bible is full of testimonies of divine assistance. In Acts 9, the Church, Aenas, and Dorcas received help. There are testimonies of deliverances in the ninth chapters of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. The evil one seeks to kill and destroy in the ninth season. The ninth President of the United States died in office after about one month of his inauguration. This is a day of recovery – not a day of losses.
Day 156 is Isaiah 11-20 season. The second ten chapters of the 23rd book of the Bible is applicable to the second day of the 23rd week of the year. The 156th season is for beating down the proud and arrogant oppressor. In the second 10 chapters of Isaiah, God decreed woes on the proud and oppressive kingdoms and kings: Assyria, Babylon, Philistia, Moab and Egypt.
The 11th chapter is about the emergence of the “rod from the stem of Jesse”. He is ‘the firmament’ dividing the dominating waters in the season. Isaiah 11:1-9 says, “There shall come forth a Rod from the stem of Jesse, And a Branch shall grow out of his roots. The Spirit of the LORD shall rest upon Him, The Spirit of wisdom and understanding, The Spirit of counsel and might, The Spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD. His delight is in the fear of the LORD, And He shall not judge by the sight of His eyes, Nor decide by the hearing of His ears; But with righteousness He shall judge the poor, And decide with equity for the meek of the earth; He shall strike the earth with the rod of His mouth, And with the breath of His lips He shall slay the wicked. Righteousness shall be the belt of His loins, And faithfulness the belt of His waist. “The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, The leopard shall lie down with the young goat, The calf and the young lion and the fatling together; And a little child shall lead them. The cow and the bear shall graze; Their young ones shall lie down together; And the lion shall eat straw like the ox. The nursing child shall play by the cobra’s hole, And the weaned child shall put his hand in the viper’s den. They shall not hurt nor destroy in all My holy mountain, For the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the LORD As the waters cover the sea”.
The 12th chapter is a celebration of God’s salvation. Isaiah 12:1-6 says, “And in that day you will say: “O LORD, I will praise You; Though You were angry with me, Your anger is turned away, and You comfort me. Behold, God is my salvation, I will trust and not be afraid; ‘For YAH, the LORD, is my strength and song; He also has become my salvation.'” Therefore with joy you will draw water From the wells of salvation. And in that day you will say: “Praise the LORD, call upon His name; Declare His deeds among the peoples, Make mention that His name is exalted. Sing to the LORD, For He has done excellent things; This is known in all the earth. Cry out and shout, O inhabitant of Zion, For great is the Holy One of Israel in your midst!”
The 13th and 14th chapters are about the fall of Babylon. In the 15th and 16th chapters, Isaiah prophesied against Moab. The 17th chapter is about Syria; and the 18th chapter about Ethiopia. The 19th and 20th chapter chapters are about Egypt. God judges oppressive monopolies in Second seasons.
Today, may the Lord grant you testimonies of deliverances, breakthroughs, and restoration.
Day 156 is a First Kings – to – Proverbs Day in the 23rd 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 patronize 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 by the power and wisdom of God no matter what happens.
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. This is a day of Help from Above. This is a day of making and finding a way where there is none. This is a day of war to weaken and break the strength of evil powers. This is a day of recovering losses. 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 against evil controlling powers and overthrow them 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 156th day!
