Welcome to the 115th year! The 115th year is a core third-season year. It is the third year in the third seven years of the third 49 years. It is Year 17 in the third 49 years. The Bible keys to understanding Year 115 are the third day of creation narrative, Psalm 115, the 17th book of the Bible; especially the third two chapters of the seventeenth book of the Bible, and the third ten books of the Bible.
Year 115 is a third day of creation year. On the third day of creation, God settled the water-dry-ground conflict by setting boundaries for the waters and causing the dry ground to appear. He also brought forth vegetation from dry ground by His word. ‘The third’ is the season of the last battle against the waters of oppression and wickedness. The third is also the season of the great conflict between platforms; it is the season when Heaven decides and chooses between platforms on earth. On the third day of creation, it was between the dry ground and the waters; in Genesis 3, it was between Adam and the Serpent; in Exodus 3, it was about Moses and Pharaoh; in First Samuel 3, it was about Samuel and Eli; in Esther 3, it was between Mordecai and Haman, on the third day of Queen Esther’s fast, it was for either Esther or the Persian Law; in Jonah 3, it was between the runaway prophet and the fish; in Matthew 3 (and also Luke 3), it was a choice between Jesus and John the Baptist; on the the third day following the crucifixion, it was about Jesus and the grave. This 115th year is the third year in the third seven years of the third 49 years. Who gets the WIN in your country this year? I pray it’s your country and the people. The aliens will not say concerning your country, as in Psalm 115:2, “Where is their God?” Year 115 is the game-changing year in the 17th seven years and in the third 49 years.
Year 115 is a Psalm 115 year. This is a psalm of conflict between worshippers of God and worshippers of idols. It is about “us and them”; “our God” and “their idols”. In this psalm, the psalmist calls on God to rise on behalf of His people – so that the Gentiles (idol worshippers) will not mock the people of God.
LORD, GIVE GLORY TO YOUR NAME: Psalm 115:1-2 says, “Not unto us, O LORD, not unto us, But to Your name give glory, Because of Your mercy, Because of Your truth. [2] Why should the Gentiles say, “So where is their God?” The Lord must win the battle of the third season. It is for His glory – not ours.
OUR GOD AND THEIR IDOLS: Idols are nothing to be compared with our God. Whereas men are the handwork of God, idols are the work of men’s imagination and hands. They are lifeless and powerless. Those who make idols and trust in them are as powerless as their idols. Psalm 115:3-8 says, “But our God is in heaven; He does whatever He pleases. [4] Their idols are silver and gold, The work of men’s hands. [5] They have mouths, but they do not speak; Eyes they have, but they do not see; [6] They have ears, but they do not hear; Noses they have, but they do not smell; [7] They have hands, but they do not handle; Feet they have, but they do not walk; Nor do they mutter through their throat. [8] Those who make them are like them; So is everyone who trusts in them”.
TRUST IN THE LORD: God is the help and shield of all men – even those who do not know Him. If we trust in Him, He would withdraw His help and shield from our enemies. It we disregard God, He helps our enemies against us. Psalm 115:9-11 says, “O Israel, trust in the LORD; He is THEIR help and THEIR shield. [10] O house of Aaron, trust in the LORD; He is THEIR help and THEIR shield. [11] You who fear the LORD, trust in the LORD; He is THEIR help and THEIR shield”.
ASSURANCE OF GOD’S BLESSING AND PRAYER: The psalmist knows, from the past, that the Lord will bless His people in the present time. Psalm 115:12-15 says, “The LORD has been mindful of us; He will bless US; He will bless the house of ISRAEL; He will bless the house of AARON. [13] He will bless THOSE WHO FEAR THE LORD, Both small and great. [14] May the LORD give you increase more and more, You and your children. [15] May you be blessed by the LORD, Who made heaven and earth”.
ASSERTIONS AND ASSURANCE OF SAFETY AND VICTORY: The earth is the abode of man. To die is to leave the earth; and the dead cannot praise God. If we will bless the Lord from this time forth and forevermore, it means we must live on. Psalms 115: 16-17 says, “The heaven, even the heavens, are the LORD’s; But the earth He has GIVEN to the children of men. [17] The dead do not praise the LORD, Nor any who go down into silence. [18] But we will bless the LORD From this time forth and forevermore. Praise the LORD!” If we must praise God, then God must keep us alive. Year 115 should be a year of spiritual protest against the spirit of death seeking to overtake the nation.
Year 115 is an Esther 5-6 year in the 17th seven years. The third two chapters of the seventeenth book of the Bible is applicable to the third year of the seventeenth 7 years. In the fifth chapter of Esther, the Jewish queen obtained favor from the Persian king. The Law of the land was set aside and Esther was admitted before the king without invitation. What should have resulted in a death sentence, opened the heart of the king to her. Year 115 is a year of favor. It is a year for things that should not be to be. It is a year when those who should die are turned to life. It is a year when those who have the least chance are given the largest room. It is a year when the norm is suspended in favor of the least deserving. This is a year to celebrate the everlasting truth of the Lord; and His great merciful kindness towards us. Haman attended Esther’s party with the king – not knowing that things had changed. He was even misadvised to make a gallows for Mordecai. In the sixth chapter of Esther, Haman began to go down as the king honored Mordecai according to Haman’s unwitting recommendation. He suffered the shame of his life on that day. Esther 6:13 says, “When Haman told his wife Zeresh and all his friends everything that had happened to him, his wise men and his wife Zeresh said to him, “If Mordecai, before whom you have begun to fall, is of Jewish descent, you will not prevail against him but will surely fall before him.” This is promotion year for hidden and forgotten people in the nation. It is a year of honor for those who trust in God; and a year of shame and humiliation for the proud and wicked.
Year 115 is a Book of Esther Year in the third 49 years. The 17th book of the Bible is applicable to the 17th year in the third 49 years. The book of Esther (the 17th in the Bible) is about how God overruled circumstances and exalted hated Jews in the Persian kingdom. Three major things happened in the book to shape the story of the book. The first was the deposition of Queen Vashti for her disobedience to the king. This made way for Esther to become Queen. The second was the failed plot of Bigthan and Teresh to execute the king. This entered Mordecai’s name in the kings book of records. The third was the clash between Haman and Mordecai that led to Haman’s plot to exterminate Jews in the kingdom. This rest of the book is about how the Jews escaped death. The 115th year is a year of manifestation, promotion, and establishment for those who fear God. It is a year of overthrow for the wicked.
Year 115 is death’s year of visitation when it’s cruel hands are tied and weakened. It is a year for God to arise against the plans of the wicked to kill and destroy. It is a year to overthrow agents of death. This year, the Lord will preserve your life and beat down the adversaries of your nation. Happy 115th year!
