The Seventy Sevens Of Messiah's Sabbath

Sunday, February 25, 2024

God put the Jewish people in exile for 70 years because for 490 years they hadn't celebrated the Sabbath years. They were supposed to rest the land every 7 years- the Sabbath year. So He sent them into captivity, letting the land rest. This tells us that rest is not an option in the Lord. Time in His presence is an incredible privilege, but it's also a necessity. Without it, everything else falls apart. In the Book of Daniel, God says, I'm going to give you 70 times 7, 490 years until Messiah comes. Messiah is linked to the Sabbaths because He's the Prince of Peace and Lord of the Sabbath. It's in the Sabbath of God's presence that we find healing, restoration, fullness, and blessing. As much as you need bread or water, you need that- without it, you'll wither. You can only find it in Messiah, and you don't have to wait 490 years to find Him. You can find Him right now. Enter His presence now, for there you will find the Sabbath and the completion of your life.
