Welcome to the 24th week of the year! The 24th week is the third week in the fourth 49 days of the year. The third season is the game-changing season. The Bible keys for understanding the 24th season are the third day of creation narrative, the 24th book and chapters of the Bible, and the third five chapters (11-15) of the fourth book of the Bible.
The 24th week is a third day of creation week. On the third day of creation, God contained the waters and caused dry ground to appear and bring forth vegetation. The third season is a season of overthrows, manifestation, and establishment. There’s a throwing down and a planting that happens in the 24th season.
The 24th week is a book of Jeremiah week. Jeremiah is the 24th book of the Bible. In that book, God uncovered the prophet in a priest; and established him in his ordination.
Jeremiah 1:4-10 says, “Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying: [5] “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you; Before you were born I sanctified you; I ordained you a prophet to the nations.” [6] Then said I: “Ah, Lord GOD! Behold, I cannot speak, for I am a youth.” [7] But the LORD said to me: “Do not say, ‘I am a youth,’ For you shall go to all to whom I send you, And whatever I command you, you shall speak. [8] Do not be afraid of their faces, For I am with you to deliver you,” says the LORD. [9] Then the LORD put forth His hand and touched my mouth, and the LORD said to me: “Behold, I have put My words in your mouth. [10] See, I have this day set you over the nations and over the kingdoms, To root out and to pull down, To destroy and to throw down, To build and to plant.”
In his days, Jeremiah stood for the uprooting of what God is displeased with; and for the planting of what heaven approves. The 24th week is for receiving and delivering God’s word for the season. This 24th week of the year, be bold to release the power of the Kingdom against anything, and anyone, that will not cooperate with the counsel of God for the season be moved out of the way. In the 24th book of the Bible, Jeremiah, a priest in Israel, encountered the word of purpose that lifted him from priestly ministry to become a prophet to nations.
Jeremiah is the 24th book of the Bible and is applicable to the 24th day, week, year, or seven years. The 24th book of the Bible can be divided into seven seasons as follows:
- Jeremiah 1-8
- Jeremiah 9-16
- Jeremiah 17-24
- Jeremiah 25-31
- Jeremiah 32-38
- Jeremiah 39-45
- Jeremiah 46-52
The 24th week is a 24th-chapters-of-the-Bible week. In Genesis 24, Rebekah was found, and picked from, among other girls to be Isaac’s wife. The thick veil that covered Rebekah was lifted and she was chosen to become the wife of Isaac, the Seed of Promise. In First Samuel 24, Saul and his company who chased David to the cave were overtaken by sleep and fell into the hands of David but he spared Saul. In Second Samuel 24, Mount Moriah, which had become the threshing floor of a Jebusite, was recovered and made an altar for God. That was where Solomon built the temple of God. The 24th Psalm opens with the acknowledgment of God as the Owner of the earth and all that is in it. In Luke 24, Jesus rose from the dead and broke through the sealed tomb. In Acts 24, Tertulius gathered vain fellows to raise accusation against Paul but the false accusers could not prevail. In the same chapter, Governor Felix who denied Paul due justice was moved out and Governor Festus took his place.
Week 24 is Numbers 12-16 season. What does the 24th Week have to do with Numbers 12-16? The 24th Week is part of the fourth seven weeks of the year; and the fourth book of the Bible is Guiding Light for this season. As the third week in the fourth seven weeks, the 24th week expresses the third section of the fourth book of the Bible. Week 22 expresses Numbers 1-6. Week 23 expresses Numbers 7-11. Week 24 expresses Numbers 12-16. These 5 chapters are the overthrow-chapters in the book. Miriam became leprous for speaking against Moses in Numbers 12. The 12 spies (except Joshua and Caleb) brought an evil report of the Promised Land. In Numbers 13. Israel rejected the Good Land and God sentenced His people to 40 years of wandering in the Wilderness in Numbers 14. A man was stoned to death in Numbers 15 for violating the Sabbath. The rebellion and judgment of Korah and his company is recorded in Numbers 16. The 24th Week is for the judgment and overthrow of the rebellious.
Week 24 is Ecclesiastes – Amos week in the fourth 49 days. Going through any 7-week season is like taking a journey through the Bible. Every 7-week season has an Old Testament side and a New Testament side. The first four weeks of the season belong to the Old Testament side and express the 39 books of the Old Testament. The remaining three weeks of the season constitute the New Testament side and express the 27 books of the New Testament. The third week of the season is the third week in the Old Testament side of the season; 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 week 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.
In the 24th year of the 20th century, President Coolidge signed the American Indian Citizenship Act. The 24th President of the United States, Grover Cleveland, was also the 22nd President of the United States. He bounced back to become the 24th President. In the 24th seven years of the United States (1937-1944), Franklin D. Roosevelt became President of the United States. The Second World War began in this season. No need to retell the stories. I thank God for the 24th! This week, may the Kingdom of God descend on your own situation and cause a turn-around – in the name of Jesus Christ!. Happy 24th week!
