Day 199 is a third day of creation day. On the third day of creation, God overthrew the waters; and set boundaries for it, to make room for the dry ground. He also commanded the dry ground to appear and bring forth vegetation. The dry ground is the platform for vegetation and creation of the fifth and sixth days would depend on dry ground and vegetation for their sustenance. The third season is when the platform for the future is raised. The third day of creation was a game-changing day. Day 199 is a game-changing day in the 29th week and in the fifth seven weeks (49 days). The course of the week is determined from the third day of the week. Bible narratives take a new turn from the third chapter of the book or from the third day in the narrative.
Day 199 is a book of Leviticus day in the fifth 49 days of the year. It is also a third chapters of the Bible day. Leviticus is the third book of the Bible; and is applicable to the third day of the 29th week and third day of the fifth 49 days. The third book of the Bible, named after the third son of Jacob is about the custodians of Israel’s faith. The prosperity and well being of Israel rested, to a large extent, on the faithfulness of the priests and Levites – the sons of Levi. They were the officiating ministers at the annual festivals; and in the daily sacrifices. They were the carriers of the nation.
Day 199 is a Joel 2:1-17 day.. Joel is the 29th book of the Bible and is applicable to the 29th week of the year. The third of the seven parts of the 29th book of the Bible is applicable to the third day of the 29th week. This section of the book is a call to take action to forestall trouble. It is a call to seek God and ask Him to spare His people. The third day is a day of awakening. Joel 2:1-17 says, “Blow the trumpet in Zion, And sound an alarm in My holy mountain! Let all the inhabitants of the land tremble; For the day of the LORD is coming, For it is at hand: [2] A day of darkness and gloominess, A day of clouds and thick darkness, Like the morning clouds spread over the mountains. A people come, great and strong, The like of whom has never been; Nor will there ever be any such after them, Even for many successive generations. [3] A fire devours before them, And behind them a flame burns; The land is like the Garden of Eden before them, And behind them a desolate wilderness; Surely nothing shall escape them. [4] Their appearance is like the appearance of horses; And like swift steeds, so they run. [5] With a noise like chariots Over mountaintops they leap, Like the noise of a flaming fire that devours the stubble, Like a strong people set in battle array. [6] Before them the people writhe in pain; All faces are drained of color. [7] They run like mighty men, They climb the wall like men of war; Every one marches in formation, And they do not break ranks. [8] They do not push one another; Every one marches in his own column. Though they lunge between the weapons, They are not cut down. [9] They run to and fro in the city, They run on the wall; They climb into the houses, They enter at the windows like a thief. [10] The earth quakes before them, The heavens tremble; The sun and moon grow dark, And the stars diminish their brightness. [11] The LORD gives voice before His army, For His camp is very great; For strong is the One who executes His word. For the day of the LORD is great and very terrible; Who can endure it? [12] “Now, therefore,” says the LORD, “Turn to Me with all your heart, With fasting, with weeping, and with mourning.” [13] So rend your heart, and not your garments; Return to the LORD your God, For He is gracious and merciful, Slow to anger, and of great kindness; And He relents from doing harm. [14] Who knows if He will turn and relent, And leave a blessing behind Him- A grain offering and a drink offering For the LORD your God? [15] Blow the trumpet in Zion, Consecrate a fast, Call a sacred assembly; [16] Gather the people, Sanctify the congregation, Assemble the elders, Gather the children and nursing babes; Let the bridegroom go out from his chamber, And the bride from her dressing room. [17] Let the priests, who minister to the LORD, Weep between the porch and the altar; Let them say, “Spare Your people, O LORD, And do not give Your heritage to reproach, That the nations should rule over them. Why should they say among the peoples, ‘Where is their God?'”
A third season day like Day 199 is a time to take action that saves the future. The call for a solemn assembly and a fast was to forestall the impending trouble.
Day 199 is Ecclesiastes – Amos Day in the 29th 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 third day of the week is the third day in the Old Testament side of the week; and expresses the third 10 books of the Old Testament and the Bible. In the third 10 books of the Bible, God sent His prophets to speak to the people. They confronted the people, warned them against judgment, comforted the faithful, and brought judgment on the arrogant. The third day is for the overthrow of the rebellious and establishment of the humble and just. How you fare in this season depends on your attitude and response to the word of God. This is a day of prophetic confrontation and judgment.
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 manifestation. Do not be afraid to take a stand for the Lord. It is a season to come out of hiding and obscurity. It is a day to overthrow oppression and the oppressor. It is a day to establish the humble. Today, decree the downfall of the wicked and the lifting and establishment of the just. Today, prophesy an end to something in your life, family, business, community, and nation. Today, be ready to hear His voice and respond by faith. Expect breakthrough. Be willing to sacrifice. Walk by faith! This is a day of breakthrough and pushing through barriers in the 38th week. This is a day of unveiling. This is a day to take off the lid. Today, take steps that could save the future. Answer the call to action. Happy 199th day.
