There Is Something Very Important We Must Accomplish, But We Can Only Accomplish What Needs To Be Done By Grasping The Sabre Sword More Firmly.
Letter to Chris in response to his Key of Psalm 91 revelation
Hi,
Thank you for your patience, and sorry for the delay in getting back to you after my initial series of questions.
The very first time I read your Psalm 91 prophecy, it was like reading a riddle. There were other things on my plate at the time, which didn’t lend to a deciphering-riddles mood. It’s not me doing the deciphering anyway, but still, it takes a lot of focus to hear those whispers clearly. After the second reading, the prophecy still looked like a riddle. I’d read through it, “listening,” trying not to analyze, and upon hearing nothing, I put it on the shelf. I went back to the numbers while continually asking Jesus to lead and guide me. As for the prophecy, my intention was to leave it on the shelf and trust that, if it was His will, He’d reveal more.
When reading the number combinations, all sorts of old prophecies came to mind. I was reminded of the waterfall prophecy that I received some time back. Do you remember it? There’s the main path, but on either side of the path there are other, smaller paths leading off to other fascinating sights. I have to say that even with the help of my spirit helpers, I could not do the subject justice. The deeper I went, the more MB post pages were brought to mind. I was following the clues back into history, like an old wizard poring over ancient scripts. However, to avoid too bulky a response, I refrained from inserting too many “ancient” prophecies.
At times I feel like I’m getting too deeply into numbers, but the number combinations are so intriguing that it’s impossible to deny their role in prophecy. Numbers certainly look like embedded “code” to me. And that’s exactly what we’re discovering—Jesus is using them as a type of “key code” to lead us to certain conclusions and also to verify what we’re receiving in prophecy. (The post on Genesis 32:26 is a good example.)
Focusing On The Numbers While Listening To The Whispers
While reading your number sequences, as well as the prophecies that the MB pages were revealing, different thoughts that seemed to relate to your Key of Psalm 91 prophecy began popping into my head. So when those thoughts came, I would jot them down here, in what I thought was going to be a simple “Hi Chris” intro note.
The first related thought came when I was reading over a footnote you’d sent me regarding Jesus’ second temptation. It took place on the pinnacle of the temple in Jerusalem. I started to see it as an ancient duel between two Masters of Light. I know this sounds clichéd, but I pictured those two Jedi fighting with their light-sabers—one saber blue-white (Audio) and the other red. We are privileged to witness this epic battle in Matthew 4:5–6.
Although your prophecy focuses on verses 4 and 5, I’d like to read verses 3 through 10 in order to capture the whole confrontation, because it helped me see an underlying theme more clearly. Your prophecy speaks of dark codes and Satan’s plan to deceive the world through mimicking the Keys of the Kingdom. It was all quite fascinating.
The underlying theme I was seeing was one of warfare. A fierce battle was underway. Your prophecy brings out clearly that Jesus was fighting not only for Himself, but for the whole world, and also for people like us who would find themselves in similar circumstances (PDF)—that of fighting the enemy in hand-to-hand combat.
So I guess that is what my spirit helpers wanted me to focus on. As I tried to explain at the beginning of this note, the first time I read your prophecy, it was mysterious and hard to comprehend. All that is saying is that my carnal mind was trying to lead the way. Just like in the waterfall prophecy, there are many paths branching off the main path, and my spirit helpers chose this one to lead me down.
I know the Hollywood light-saber theme is corny, but if we can picture those sabers as the white-hot Word of God—except that, in Satan’s case, he was distorting the Word for selfish purposes—I guess that is where the red-colored saber fits in. Satan was fighting at a lower frequency because his motives were wrong. I suppose the saying, “The Keys don’t work for selfish users,” could be applied in this case. Well, the Keys do work, but not at a “white-hot” frequency.
Speaking of underlying themes, in these verses I’m about to read there is a theme that I’d never seen before. It’s an experience we as humans all face when encountering the devil, and it goes right in line with what your prophecy was pointing out—that of deceit. But an interesting thought arises when talking about the weapon of deceit that Satan uses against us. Jesus allows him this leeway in order to serve His purposes. We must be tested in order to learn that instant obedience to the Word of God is what wins the immediate battle and, eventually, the overall war.
Matthew 4: 3-10
[4:3] And when the tempter came to him, he said, If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread. [4:4] But he answered and said, it is written, man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.
[4:5] Then the devil taketh him up into the holy city, and setteth him on a pinnacle of the temple, [4:6] And saith unto him, if thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written, He shall give His angels charge concerning thee: and in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone. [4:7] Jesus said unto him, It is written again, thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.
[4:8] Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them; [4:9] And saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me. [4:10] Then saith Jesus unto him, get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.
I believe Jesus was trying to enhance my perspective of the Word-as-Weapon relationship. His intent is to get us to use our minds more when wielding the Keys in warfare with the Dark Lord. Word pictures work on me, as they do on most people. That’s why Jesus sends them—but Satan also sends them—and that is what I’m realizing just now: we have the ability to send word pictures back. We are meant to learn an art-of-war tactic from this clash in Matthew 4. Instead of our prayers being mere words and sentences, they should be pictures that we send—like fiery darts—into the enemy’s mind. We are to use on him the same tactics he uses on us.
When reading verse 3, I noticed that it doesn’t refer to Jesus’ adversary as Satan, but as “the tempter.” Jesus had no idea He was being tempted. If He had, then it wouldn’t have been a temptation. That thought makes me wonder how Satan was presenting himself. The movies almost always depict the Devil as the Devil, not as an angel of light. But perhaps Jesus didn’t recognize who He was dealing with because Satan had disguised himself as Lucifer, or as one of the angels—perhaps even Lucerne?
Most of Jesus’ former glory (PDF) and faculties were removed when He entered the earthly realm as a baby, so you could imagine that He probably didn’t recognize who was who. Therefore, He may have thought He was discussing options with one of His ministering angels—this was a genuine temptation, unfolding in real time. It wasn’t until verse 9 that Lucifer threw off the “good guy” garb and revealed who he was. He had to reveal himself; it was part of the temptation script. I guess, in God’s eyes, by this time Jesus had already passed the test. Lucifer knew it, so the cape came off.
And by verse 10 it says, “Then saith Jesus…” Jesus saw who it was He was talking to, so He used Satan’s name to cast him away. Much like what we’ve been taught, when rebuking a demon, use his name as a handle, as it makes for a much more powerful exorcism. Names and pictures are core principles when fighting the enemy. When engaging the enemy with the Keys of the Kingdom, or when pulling out Scripture to open a portal of supply, healing, and so on, we must use specifics.
I believe our April 4 experience is similar in this regard—if we knew we were being tempted, then it wouldn’t be a temptation. And I think the reboot could be classified the same way. What is Jesus looking for? The same thing that God is looking for in His Son: someone who follows the Word and not a particular circumstance or condition. When faced with a choice, Jesus defaults to the Word. I think it has to be an involuntary reaction. That is, in fact, how the Keys must function in our lives—instinctively. They must become a part of our very nature, running through our spiritual veins and lodging in our spiritual minds, which in turn creates heightened spiritual senses—as the Key promise (PDF) says.
So, as your prophecy points out, Lucifer was pulling out an old, you could say, “Key code” that opened a portal to God’s power—or you could say a “promise” that opened a portal to God’s power. I think “Key code” is the better term because “promise” seems to lose some of its force when applied to opening a portal. Even words like hexes and charms, although negative in connotation, convey more precisely what I think Jesus is trying to help us understand. In your example, Lucifer was pulling a “Key code” from Psalm 91 and using it as a feint to trick Jesus, while at the same time giving the impression that he was merely stating a fact. Remember, Satan was in disguise.
If there was ever a time to trick Jesus into going back into the world, this was it. Your prophecy said:
When Satan tempted Me to fall off the building—the temple made with hands—he was trying to get Me to fall for this code first, so he could pollute the spiritual atmosphere at ground level and never allow the code of prophecy, protection, and guidance to be delivered into more hands after the Holy Spirit was set to allow for infilling to anyone who received her. That paragraph is saying that Jesus wasn’t just fighting for Himself, but for us too. But keep in mind that Jesus wasn’t given power over Satan until He passed the “Word test.” Therefore, we too must expect the “Word test” before the full power of the Keys can be placed into our hands.
Never fear. Jesus has gone before us and is here as the “Master Warrior” to help us pass our tests.
Hebrews 4:15: For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.
I think words like promise and blessing are “warm” words and don’t fully describe the power of these Scriptures we hold in our hands, let alone the “fiery Key darts.” We’re handling light-sabers, but seem only now to be waking up to how dangerous they are. The church is the culprit. They love to use those “warm” words—phrases like “by His grace,” “prosperity,” “God bless you,” and, as your prophecy points out, “Mary’s Magnificat” as a rote prayer. The church has seriously watered down the whole spiritual-warfare scenario. Of course, there are always people who are sincere when praying their rosary.
Sorry this is so drawn out, but my last observation concerns Matthew 4:4:
But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God. There’s our Power Key of 44, which was forged through our pre-April 4 experiences. Matthew 4:4 is saying that from henceforth—post April 4 (4/4), having passed the “Word test”—we are not to return to the world, to bread alone, but to listen to and obey every Word that proceeds out of the mouth of God.
Or, as was said earlier, His Word, He Himself, and the Keys must become instinctive in all situations we face.
As your prophecy indicates—that Satan calls on old spirits, much like the Seventy, to help him mimic the Keys, namely the Key of Psalm 91—I therefore understand that the Key of Psalm 91 has been a long time in coming. In fact, I would say its “code” predates even King David.
In case I haven’t yet reached the “oh wow” stage, what I believe Jesus is trying to accomplish by giving us your mysterious and difficult-to-comprehend prophecy is that He wants us to see His Word differently from the way we presently see it. He wants us to see His Words as very, very powerful, for want of a better word, incantations, for good or for “bad”—as in bad for the enemy—we are sending spells and curses.
We have to picture them as deadly blows of a sabre on the enemy’s hairy scalp, whether we’re using them for good or bad. For example, when we pray for the supply of a need, we may not think we’re landing a blow on the enemy’s hairy scalp, but in fact there is a ripple effect. Those prayers are ripping into the demons that are trying to block the supply line, or that may be trying to deflate the faith of all those involved in bringing in that need.
While reading over Psalm 91, I wondered if Psalm 91 was original script or if it had been drawn from script that existed before the days of King David. I checked the internet of things, and this is what I found:
Psalm 91; verses 1, 3-6 & 11
Verse 1—He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High: “echoes ancient wilderness and covenant imagery found in earlier traditions associated with the patriarchs and the Exodus period.”
Protection under God’s wings (v.4) appears in older Hebrew poetry: Deuteronomy 32:11 compares God to an eagle protecting its young. Exodus 19:4 speaks of God carrying Israel “on eagles’ wings.”
Freedom from pestilence and plague (vv.3–6) resembles covenant blessing/curse language already present in: Leviticus 26 & Deuteronomy 28
Verse 11, which was highlighted in your prophecy, says: “Angels guarding the faithful (v.11) develops ideas already seen in earlier traditions about divine messengers protecting people, such as the angel narratives in Genesis and the wilderness guidance traditions in Exodus 23:20.” (End)
With that snippet of knowledge, we see some purpose other than just protection in the Key of Psalm 91. We see wilderness travel, we see flying as eagles in prophecy, and we see “covenant imagery” associated with Exodus—exiting Egypt, or the world. Verse 3 says: “Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence.” This echoes the warnings we’ve received regarding the cell phone (Audio) and the dangers of the web. By dwelling in the shelter of the Most High, we avoided the noisome pestilence of COVID (Audio) and will no doubt avoid future pestilences and plagues that will come upon the Egyptians.
My conclusion—and this is by no means the whole picture—is that the Key of Psalm 91 is a weapon of war, a sabre of Light, as are all the Keys of the Kingdom. The Key of Psalm 91 has given us some insight into the history of just one Key, like a mystery revealed, a gift to those who “crave His secrets.” But this Key has also been held in reserve, to be given to those who passed the “Word tests.” It is difficult for us to grasp, but these Words that we often become so familiar with are, in truth, the very essence of our being, just as it is stated in the Key promise I quoted earlier: “The Keys must become a part of every fiber of our spiritual being…”
There is something very important we must accomplish, but we can only accomplish what needs to be done by grasping the sabre sword more firmly.
Sorry, but that’s the best explanation I can give for now. We simply need to do what we were told to do since the very beginning of our life in the Family: pump in the Keys and soak in the Word. They must become a part of our very being. We must become the Living Word, as Jesus was the Living Word during His time on earth. As we obey, the Word will create us into what Jesus wants us to be.
I know for a fact that the Word I read now is so much more revealing than it was in the days before the Reboot.
Note from Chris:
Recently, the Lord told me to start memorizing the Gospel of Luke (along with continuing to memorize quotes from the New New Wine ☺), and that He would reveal new jewels and gems in that Gospel. It’s been challenging to get through the first chapter because every time I review the verses where the Angel Gabriel is speaking to Zacharias and then to Mary, I start to tear up a bit, as they’re such powerful verses.
Something interesting about Luke 1 is that it’s the longest chapter in the New Testament by verse count, having 80 verses. As I got to verses 46 – 55 (also known as Mary’s Magnificat), I suddenly felt led to add those verse numbers one by one: 4+6+4+7+4+8+4+9+5+0+5+1+5+2+5+3+5+4+5+5 = 91—Psalm 91:1 He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. (Dwelleth means to live with—for example as Husband and wife in an intimate relationship, or as Father and children. Secret Place means, in the holy of holies of our heart, or a more pertinent explanation—in our cave in the wilderness. The Shadow of the Almighty is as being inside the Mountain of God.
Then, I was led to Psalm 91, which then reminded me that Satan used 2 verses (verses 11 and 12) from Psalm 91 in one of the 3 temptations to Jesus in the wilderness. In Matthew 4 it is the 2nd temptation:
5 Then the devil taketh him up into the holy city, and setteth him on a pinnacle of the temple,
6 And saith unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning thee: and in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone.
7 Jesus said unto him, It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.
Mary wasn’t directly quoting from Psalm 91 in the Magnificat; nonetheless, I felt there was some sort of connection here that Jesus wanted to reveal, and that it was no coincidence that the verse numbers of the Magnificat, added one by one, equal 91. The Lord then started showing me that this had something to do with the Catholic Church hiding something (Video), and that there was a Key in this.
Here are some other interesting numbers I came across in Luke 1 and Psalm 91:
Zachariah’s prophecy in Luke 1 verses 68 – 79 (mainly prophesying about Jesus but also about his son, John the Baptist).
6+8+6+9+7+0+7+1+7+2+7+3+7+4+7+5+7+6+7+7+7+8+7+9 = 144
I thought about the Key of 144.66, so then I thought “where would the .66 come from here?”, then I thought about the book of Revelation being the last and 66th book of the Bible. Perhaps the Key of 144.66 includes what’s in Zacharias’s prophecy and the whole book of Revelation about us overcoming the dragon.
The verse numbers in Mary’s Magnificat add up to 91. There are 80 verses in Luke 1
91 – 80 = 11
Note from MB — The number 11 is an important number for us. Way back in June 2020, I was alerted to the number 11. It was featured in Part 1 of the series “It Can Happen in 2022 (PDF),” which deliberately echoes the MO letter “It Can Happen This Year—1992.” You may have read it?
I’m going to add parts of the introduction to that series. It includes a very revealing paragraph from “Endtime Series—Part 1 (PDF),” a short exposé on the number 11, and then finishes with the rest of the introduction to the series. 11 is like a kick-off number; it’s a master number. (Strong’s Hebrew #11: Disorder, chaos, judgment. Following number 10, which represents law and responsibility, number 11 represents the opposite, which brings disorder and judgment. It can also mean transition—the world is going into transition before the new day.)
By 2020, we’d reached the kick-off to the Last Days, and Jesus was using the number 11 to signify that. If I had the time and mental capacity to update the “It Can Happen in 2022” series, I’m sure it would be an eye-opener.
Part 1—“It Can Happen This Year – 2022”
Prophecy from The Endtime Series, Part 1, (1999) “I have many new truths and new revelations to pour out. Many of them will be mysterious now, because you are not yet in the future; you do not yet need them. In the days to come, when you need them, then they will be clear if you have received them in faith and hidden them in your heart. If you have passed over them, or questioned their source, or dismissed them because they are not in line with the way you think things should be, then you will miss a lot, and in the days to come, you will not understand nor be aware of what I have told you before.” End of quote from ML #3263 Published: 1999 [The year Putin was revealed to the world as the next leader of Russia]
MB (in 2020): It didn’t come as any great revelation. In fact, I stumbled onto it when browsing the yellow DB 11, page 71: It Could Happen this Year—1992. I am writing this small introduction on day 7 of a series of classes that developed out of this initial discovery. [Take note of the DB’s book number 11, because as this interesting revelation develops, the number 11 crops up more often. What is more interesting is that behind each number that we’re shown, there’s some significant event or similarities pertaining to the time we are living in right now. Now, I’ve never been that interested in numerology but seeing as this whole revelation seems to be directed by numbers, I’m of a different mind now. In fact, the importance of numbers in this study was corroborated in a prophecy I received on the second or third day of this journey; read on and you will see. All the same, this is not about following numbers; it’s about following prophecy. [May-2026 update: Now we understand that numbers and prophecy go hand in hand]
Nevertheless, it is obvious Jesus is using numbers as signposts along this very fascinating path. After reading the heading of the letter mentioned on page 71 of DB 11 and perhaps half a dozen paragraphs in that letter, Jesus brought to my attention that there was something very significant about 1992 in relation to right now, this year- 2020. I was directed to go to the Infostore and look up the letter and there I discovered that there was a series of four letters. However, my attention was drawn to a letter that was placed two letters above the series in question and that letter was called “It Can Happen Now” and rather absent mindedly I opened it with the thought passing through my mind that it was part of the series. “It Can Happen This Year—1992”. Isn’t the Lord funny. (End)
Back to letter from Chris:
Mary’s Magnificat consists of 10 verses.
Zacharias’s prophecy consists of 12 verses.
10+12 = 22
MB:—I made a quick search for the number 22 in Part 1 of “It Can Happen in 2022” and to my amazement, the search scored 11 hits—22 reverts back to 11—“behold” 11 and 22 are intimately connected. Which we now know from our studies on these numbers that they are. What a wonderful little signpost miracle pointing to this very important year. “Behold”—A Call to Focus: It forces the reader to pause, open their eyes, and focus on an incredibly important or miraculous truth.
Major world changing events that happened in 2022
- Putin attacked Ukraine
- The “Philly Church” burn the books—Original Infostore is recalled—fulfilling the Great Falling Away of 2 Thessalonians 2:3. The verb behind Strong’s Greek number 1111 denotes an audible, discontented murmuring—often half-whispered, yet unmistakably hostile to God’s purposes or the authority He has established. It is more than a momentary sigh; it is sustained, willful complaint that fuels unbelief and spreads discord.
In the beginning of the“It Can Happen This Year” series (Part One) (PDF) I was saying to keep eyes on the number 11 because it is a significant master number, along with 22 and 33. In Strong’s Concordance the number 11 meaning = destruction, Abaddon, perishing, judgement, ruin. Here is an example of a hidden 11…MO letter #146 1+4+6 = 11. The Word of God, both in the Bible and the Words of David are like that…lots of hidden treasures just waiting to be discovered. Bible Code…MO letter Code. The Little Book MO 146
- Corona world-wide vaccination program enters its second year. Everyone in the world are required to wear masks when out in public. “Never since the Roman Empire has a dictate from one man or small body or committee of men been obeyed by the entire world.” MB YT Video – NWO (Video)
The vaccine itself had been officially authorized in the UK on 2/12/2020. Apart from fears that the COVID vaccine was a means of injecting microscopic implants into humans, and that there was some chemical element in the vaccine that attacked the immune system of human beings. Jesus told us in prophecy that one of the biggest achievements from the Fearona scare was that the serpent gained much tighter control over the world’s systemites.
Back to Chris
Psalm 91 has 16 verses.
Mary’s Magnificat consists of 10 verses.
16+10 = 26
MB: There have been so many prophecies and numbers throughout MB’s short history that point to the number 26—that this would be the year of Jesus’ return. Well, as we know, Jesus didn’t come back on the date we thought He was indicating He would. Instead, April 4 became a time of testing. We passed through that test, and very soon after April 4 had passed, Jesus began gifting us with new Keys, Psalm 91 being one of them.
What is the purpose of these new Keys? How are we supposed to use them? What does Jesus want us to do next? Jesus has even given us a Purple Ladder, and He has told us what we should use the ladder for, and now He’s revealing some of the secrets behind the Key of Psalm 91.
Where is all this leading? We had hoped, with great hope, that our journey would be over in April 2026. There may be some indication of what we should do next by taking a closer look at the Purple Ladder. It seems the Purple Ladder is for escaping to higher spiritual ground, but I thought we’d escaped to higher ground already. One thing is for sure: our journey here is not over. Jesus very recently asked us to grab hold of the Angel, like Jacob did, and not let go until the blessing came. We would like to see some major Endtime event happen this year, 2026, which we hope would show us that the day of His coming is at hand. Are we right in asking for a physical sign when all this time Jesus has been asking us to seek His will through His Word? (End)
Chris: I thought that was interesting since we’re in the year 2026 it’s quite amazing how the numbers keep popping up. I also thought of Deuteronomy 8:3—the verse Jesus was quoting in Matthew 4:4 and Luke 4:4 about man not living by bread alone, in regards to the Power Key of 44 you received.
8+3 = 11
11 is a factor of 44 as 11 X 4 = 44, also making 44 a multiple of 11
These numbers, these Keys—there is so much we just don’t understand. And I know it is not past finding out, but still, the Keys and the Word and their number combinations and sequences are a lifetime study. Look at all Jesus has shown us about the Key of Psalm 91 alone, and what He’s shown us about this one Key is but a tiny speck of knowledge.
Just in that brief line above, 11 is a factor of 44. I am seeing the kick-off number—11—back in 2020, and 44, the power number given to us at what you might call the end of the 1,260 days by faith. And as I write, I see those days of faith perhaps alluding to the 40 days of faith before the 40 days of sight. Who knows? Will the 40 days of sight be another 1,260 days? Are you courageous enough to ask Jesus for an answer?
It takes faith, and that is where most people drop out of the search, but it is also where the pioneers forge on. I want so badly to see some ominous sign of the End, yet I know it goes against all Jesus has asked of us regarding looking to His Word for the signs.
Perhaps asking for an obvious sign isn’t His will, and He is trying to impress this point upon me by showing us all these wonderful Word-based signs. This is something to pray about.
Note from Lisa: when I got to this point in the file and you are pondering whether we should be actually praying for a sign, John 6:71 came to my mind. John 6:71—He spake of Judas Iscariot the son of Simon: for he it was that should betray him, being one of the twelve. (End)
MB: Now this is what we may possibly be facing. It seems from the post “32 Pages Ends in 2026” that Jesus is offering our young people—and all of us, really—a choice. We know from the Words of David and the New Wine prophecy that Jesus greatly desires us to look to His Word for signs. However, His Word also says that He will not give us more than we are able to handle. So it could be that there is no betrayal here. But the decision between the two should not be based on frustration, but instead on the Word. Yet we appear to have two options being offered. So then, this decision between what seem to be two choices must be an individual one. Which means each of us must go to Jesus and ask Him what His highest will is.
Another interesting verse reference with 71 in it is Luke 22:71. Fascinating that the master number 22 connects to the 71. This verse is significant because Judas was a betrayer just as perhaps our praying for a sign may be a ‘betrayal’?
Jesus’ second trial, (not temptation this time but trial; are we now on trial?) held around 6 am, was before the entire Sanhedrin. Verse 71 of Luke 22 records their decision concerning Jesus’ guilt.
And they (the Sanhedrin) all said, “Then You are the Son of God?” And He (Jesus) said to them, “I am that One, as you say.” Then they said, “What need do we have of any other witness? For we ourselves have heard from His own mouth” (Verses 70 – 71 of Luke 22).
MB: So now, are we on trial? Haven’t we heard His own witness, from His own mouth, that we are not to look for signs in the sky, but for signs in His Word? From His own mouth. We may have passed the April 4 test only to fail at the trial.
The 70 Elders—Back In Moses’ Day
The number 71 is tied to the Sanhedrin, the supreme council and highest judicial body of ancient Israel. According to the book of Numbers 11:16–17, God instructed Moses to gather 70 elders to help him govern the Israelite’s and share the burden of leadership. When this council was formally established as the Great Sanhedrin in later Jewish history, it consisted of 70 members plus the High Priest (or the President of the Court), bringing the total to 71 members.
We are dealing with dark forces, and they are tempting us and setting us on trial before them. Jesus must allow these temptations and trials in order to reveal what type of brides we are. It is never too late to recant, ask for forgiveness, and set our house in order, that we may be found faithful in that great and mighty day.
Part 2 of “The Key of Psalm 91” will be posted on the 19th of July.
