News in numbers January 2017

Greetings to you in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Just wanted to highlight some interesting numbers that I observed in news in the month of January 2017 before writing my next spiritual article.

1. We know that there are 70 nations met in Paris on Janury 15, 2017 and the decision is to have a 2 state solution for Israel and Palestine as expected. But, there is no immediate action for that and the nations will work towards that goal gradually. You may read the article at http://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/1.765207 . But, the interesting thing here is the jewish Psalms reading portion for the same day is Psalms 83-87. You can verify that here. http://www.chabad.org/calendar/view/day.asp?tdate=1/15/2017 . Psalms 83 is 17 from 100 and interestingly the day is 17 of the hebrew month of Tevet, 5777. More than coincidence, right? These are divine indictations.

2. Israel plans to build 153 homes in restricted area. Again, the number 153 (John 21:11) has specific meaning as explained in my previous article. The news article is at http://www.timesofisrael.com/israel-okays-153-homes-in-east-jerusalem-neighborhood-gilo/ , http://www.aljazeera.com/news/2017/01/green-light-153-east-jersualem-settler-homes-170126150258620.html , https://www.yahoo.com/news/israel-approves-153-more-east-jerusalem-settler-homes-150624657.html . News dated on 26 January 2017.

3. On 26 January 2017, India celebrated its 68th republic day. The number of police personnels who had been awarded medals is 777. http://www.dnaindia.com/india/report-republic-day-777-personnel-to-be-awarded-police-medals-100-for-gallantry-2295935

4. In tennis, the world number 2, Novak Djokovic, who won 6 Australian opens lost to world number 117, Denis Istomin, who entered the tournament through wild card.

5. The dooms day clock advanced 30 seconds to midnight (which symbolizes world's destruction) and this is the closest it has been since 1953. Scientists maintain this clock and move it based on various factors happening in and around the world.

So, the numbers speak of themselves as we are getting into exciting times ahead as we watch and pray and wait for the glorious appearing of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ (Tit 2:13). Hang on, whatever the tribulations that come on your way, keep your eyes focused on the one who said "In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world." John 16:33. To Him be the glory, honor, majesty and praise. Amen.

Happy New Year 2017

I wish you a very happy new year 2017. Finally, we have stepped into the prophetic and the significant year 2017. On a personal note, the new year started with a tragedy for me as my grandmother who was ailing for close to 8 months passed away on January 6, 2017. She was of 93 years of age when she gave up her spirit. I thanked God for giving her such a long life. On the other hand, I had been released from my project the very first day when I was in office and it has been a shocker. I am out of project right now. Now, it is a question mark on what is next for me. But, I know for sure my God will change the question mark to exclamation mark in His time. By faith, the righteous will live and we are ought to follow those who inherit the promises and blessings through faith and patience. Heb 10:38, 6:12. In short, I wanted to say the New year welcomed me with tragedy but my heart said to the Lord, "my heart is ready". When I look at the past year, I couldn't stop thanking the Lord for bringing me through the year 2016. He clothed me with His holiness and righteousness. He made me to grow spiritually, promised me with many blessings. He kept me and my family safe. The Lord is sufficient to lead me through this year too and for the rest of my life.

Regarding the revelations I got about the year 2017 last year, God is assuring that this year is going to be the year of great change in spiritual realms. I believe the world might move from the age of dispensation of grace to dispensation of judgement this year. I have been assured by a specific sign. The time right now is 11:00 AM GMT 15 Jan 2017 At the time of writing this, the middle east peace conference is going on in Paris concerning the 2 state solution of Israel and Palestine. I am yet to know the outcome but the conference itself is a sign and fulfillment of many Biblical prophecies. There are 70 nations participating. Remember that the leaders from 70 nations assembled in Jerusalem on the eve of Jewish new year 5777 on 1 Oct 2016 for the funeral of Shimon Perez. I have already written about the importance of number 70 in my previous article.

Further to this, I have the Holy Spirit whispering me the versus of Isaiah 60:2 specifically saying "For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the LORD shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee". So, though the darkness comes upon the earth, the Lord's glory will shine upon His people. The second promise that the Lord made me felt is Haggai 2:6 and 7 that says "For thus saith the LORD of hosts; Yet once, it  is a little while, and I will shake the heavens, and the earth, and the sea, and the dry land; And I will shake all nations, and the desire of all nations shall come: and I will fill this house with glory, saith the LORD of hosts.". Oh, Yes, God is going to shake everything starting this year. The word yet once is referred to in Hebrews 12:26 and 27. I have associated that the first shaking came in the days of Pentecost where the Holy Spirit was anointed through the disciples and believers and the church age began. Now, when the church age is going to end and the church is going to be taken up with the Lord, the second time shaking is going to come. But, this time with judgement as well as pouring down of the spirit to bring a mass revival. God will build His church and He moves and lives among His people.

So, be watchful, be sober and keep praying. Pray that the Lord touch and transform many lives. Pray that each one of us should walk with the Lord each and everyday, fulfil His will, reflect Jesus Christ in our daily activities and be a true Christian in every aspect and we are specifically called for that, to live in holiness and righteousness. Let's make bible reading and prayer a habit of our day to day life so that in every circumstance we should be able to follow that. If we don't abide in Christ, we will not prosper in our spiritual life and we will not be able to bear fruits for Him. God will do great things and we will see wonders this year. Keep me in your prayers. Once again, I wish you a very happy New year 2017.

May all glory, honor and praise to the almight God, our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit forever and ever. Amen.
