Wilderness of Numbers-2

NUMBERS

The 4th the book of the bible . The book where the israelite’s were roaming  in the wildernessbefore reaching the promised land

מִדְבָּר midbâr  wilderness., an uninhabited plane, fit for feeding flocks

The Bible is “the Word” of God, so I think for a lot of us, our eyes cross when we try to start to see numbers.  

But we now live in a Digital Age, with everything being run byMachines and Technology. Since everything we are beginning to interact with is through these computers and machines, it’s vital to understand its correlation to the bible if you are a believer. 

 

“Any sufficiently advanced technology

is indistinguishable from magic.”  ~Arthur C. Clarke

We are sandwiched in between….

Hosea 4 : 

6My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because you have rejected knowledge, I will also reject you, that you shall be no priest to me: seeing you have forgotten the law of your God, I will also forget your children.

and …

2nd Timothy 3 : Evil in the Last Days

1This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.2For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,  

From The Devil’s Advocate…

Eddie Barzoon, Eddie Barzoon. Ha! I nursed him through two divorces, a cocaine rehab, and a pregnant receptionist.   I’ve warned him, Kevin. I’ve warned him every step of the way. Watching him bounce around like a  game. Like a wind-up toy. Like 250 pounds of self-serving greed on wheels. The next thousand years is right around the corner. Eddie Barzoon… Take a good look, because he’s the poster child for the next millennium. These people, it’s no mystery where they come from.

You sharpen the human appetite to the point where it can split atoms with its desire.

You build egos the size of cathedrals.

Fiber-optically connect the world to every eager impulse.

Grease even the dullest dreams with these dollar-green, gold-plated fantasies until every human becomes an aspiring emperor, becomes his own god.

Where can you go from there? As we’re scrambling from one deal to the next, who’s got his eye on the planet? As the air thickens, the water sours, even the bees’ honey takes on the metallic taste of radioactivity. And it just keeps coming, faster and faster. There’s no chance to think, to prepare—it’s “buy futures”, “sell futures”, when there is no future. We got a runaway train, boy. We got a billion Eddie Barzoons all jogging into the future.

7Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.

8Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith. 9But they shall proceed no further: for their folly shall be  manifest to all men, as their’s also was.

---

Jannes and Jambres were the magicians that were matching Moses and Aaron when God told Moses to tell Pharoah “Let my people go so they can serve me”

Exodus 7 : Aaron’s Rod Becomes a Serpent

8Now the LORD spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying, 9“When Pharaoh speaks to you, saying, ‘Work a miracle,’ then you shall say to Aaron, ‘Take your staff and throw it down before Pharaoh, that it may become a serpent.’” 10So Moses and Aaron came to Pharaoh, and thus they did just as the LORD had commanded; and Aaron threw his staff down before Pharaoh and his servants, and it became a serpent. 11Then Pharaoh also called for the wise men and the sorcerers, and they also, the magicians of Egypt, did the same with their secret arts.12For each one threw down his staff and they turned into serpents. But Aaron’s staff swallowed up their staffs. 13Yet Pharaoh’s heart was hardened, and he did not listen to them, as the LORD had said.

It’s hard to serve God like this.

31And the Lord said, WHEREUNTO THEN SHALL I LIKEN THE MEN OF THIS GENERATION? AND TO WHAT ARE THEY LIKE?32They are like to children sitting in the marketplace, and calling one to another, and saying, WE HAVE PIPED TO YOU, AND YOU HAVE NOT DANCED; we have mourned to you, and you have not wept.

 It is literally the complete polar opposite of the Bible

 After college I ended up becoming a computer programmer, not out of love for doing it, but of necessity, in that it was the only job I could find.  My dad friends referred me which is the only reason I got my first job.  After my first few months I didn’t think I was going to cut it. I was staring at stuff like this.

I first thought, who on earth thought of this came up with crap, to be honest. I played basketball through college so I know what being physically tired exhausted from running up and down a court for 2 hours felt like, but a whole different type of exhaustion set on me everyday trying to understand this.  When you staring at thousands and thousands of lines  of this everyday it can make you wanna pull your hair out. After about 6 months I finally had unlocked something in my brain to be able to comprehend it.  After another 6 months I knew the very basics and code a couple of things.  It took me about 5 years before I felt comfortable and not completely inadequate.  Luckily I did before technology started progressing really rapidly a few years ago.  New systems, new software languages, and technologies were coming from every direction.  In the back of my mind I wondered how any of this correlated with the bible.    I had started to try understand more about what was in it.  I would read and understand bits and pieces of it here and  there but I could never really sink my teeth into it.  I believed in my heart that the Bible is the truth and the Word of God but was left frustrated because there was so much I didn’t understand.

I couple of years ago I saw that the sign in Revelation 12 was going to occur.

REVELATION 12 : THE WOMAN AND THE DRAGON

1And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars: 2And she being with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered.

This sign occurs on SEPTEMBER 23, 2017 and it is the only time it has ever occurred.  

3And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns on his heads. 4And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born.5And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up to God, and to his throne. 6And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she has a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a 1260 days.

It first struck me with anxiety because I had no idea what it meant, and people blow it off like it’s nothing, which was perplexing to me. This sign would logically mean that we’re at the end of the script.  The END OF HIS REDEMPTIVE PLAN.  In short, I feared because I wasn’t sure if I was ready, and I wanted to make sure I was included.  As I so how fast technology was moving and the direction  everything was heading a few years ago, my urgency was turned up about 100x. I started putting everything aside and put all my focus and energy into understanding the bible.  I  knew that if people are smart enough to come up with all this technology, then they probably knew what was in the bible, and THEY HAVE LEAD US DOWN A DARK PATH OF DECEPTION

---

 It really hit me when we started using this at work:

A TOOL THAT RECENTLY CAME OUT THAT I USE AT MY WORK

---

 In Revelation it says the bride has made herself ready, which means preparation.  I wanted to make sure I knew what “ready” meant. I fear God’s Judgement, and His judgement is coming.

---

10The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom:

and the knowledge of the holy is understanding.

LUKE 21 : BE WATCHFUL

34And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come on you unawares. 35For AS A SNARE shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth.   36WATCH YOU THEREFORE, AND PRAY ALWAYS, that you may be ACCOUNTED WORTHY TO ESCAPE all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.

HEBREWS 11 : THE FAITH OF ABEL, ENOCH, NOAH

6But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that comes to God must believe that he is, and that he is a REWARDER OF THEM THAT DILIGENTLY SEEK HIM.7BY FAITH Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, MOVED WITH FEAR, PREPARED AN ARK TO THE SAVING OF HIS HOUSE;  by the which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith. 

---

So what does God require from us?  These are Moses’s Words to Israel before they went into the Promised Land.

---

Deuteronomy 12 : God’s Requirement’s for Israel

12“Now, Israel, what does the LORD your God require from you, but to fear the LORD your God, to walk in all His ways and love Him, and to serve the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul, 13and to keep the LORD’S commandments and His statutes which I am commanding you today for your good? 

John 14

21He that has my commandments, and keeps them, he it is that loves me: and he that loves me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him. 22Judas said to him, not Iscariot, Lord, how is it that you will manifest yourself to us, and not to the world? 23Jesus answered and said to him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come to him, and make our stayed with him. 24He that loves me not keeps not my sayings: and the word which you hear is not mine, but the Father’s which sent me.

---

Jesus added to the commandements:  

John 13 

34A new commandment I give to you, That you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another. 35By this shall all men know that you are my disciples, if you have love one to another.

 7And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels,8And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven. 9And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceives the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him. 10And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brothers is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night. 11And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives to the death. 12Therefore rejoice, you heavens, and you that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabitants of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down to you, having great wrath, because he knows that he has but a short time.

THE DRAGON PERSECUTES THE WOMAN

13And when the dragon saw that he was cast to the earth, he persecuted the woman which brought forth the man child.14And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from THE FACE OF THE SERPENT.

15And the SERPENT cast out of his mouth water as a FLOOD after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away of the flood. 16And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed up the flood which the dragon cast out of his mouth.17 And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the REMNANT OF HER SEED, which KEEP THE COMMANDMENTS of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.  

THE FLOOD FROM THE SERPENT is not real water like the flood that destroyed the earth.

Its the flood and rapid pace of data, information, technology, and change.

 Studies show that the typical consumer is bombarded by 5,000 advertising messages a day.” 

~NY Times 1988

---

We’ve collected as much data in the past 2 years as in the entirety of Human History.

 

The rate at which things are accelerating is not humanly possible to keep up with.  The change we seeing from one year to the next is the type of change previous generations would see in their entire lifetime.  

It is relentless, overwhelming, and is leaving people with unimaginable levels of anxiety, stress, and depression.

“the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to makewar with the REMNANT OF HER SEED”

2 Corinthians 10 : 

3For though we walk in the flesh,  we do not war after the flesh: 4For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;5Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;6And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled. 

2 Timothy : All Scripture is God-Breathed 

13But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.14But continue you in the things which you have learned and have been assured of, knowing of whom you have learned them; 15And that from a child you have known the holy scriptures, which are able to make you wise to salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. 16All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:17That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished to all good works.

 Ephesians 6 : The Full Armor of God 

10Finally, my brothers, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. 11Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.12For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. 13Why take to you the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

14Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; 15And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; 16Above all, taking the shield of faith, with which you shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked  17 And take the helmet of salvation,

and THE SWORD OF THE SPIRIT which is THE WORD of God

2nd Timothy 2:15

Study to shew thyself approved unto God,

a workman that needeth not to be ashamed,

RIGHTLY DIVIDING the WORD OF TRUTH

 LUKE 12 : NOT PEACE, BUT DIVISION

51Suppose you that I am come to give PEACE on earth?   I tell you, No; but rather DIVISION: 

MATTHEW 13 : THE PARABLE OF THE WEEDS

24Another parable put he forth to them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened to a man which sowed good seed in his field: 25But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way.26But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also. 27So the servants of the householder came and said to him, Sir, did not you sow good seed in your field? from where then has it tares?28He said to them, An enemy has done this.

So 2 SEEDS were planted producing 2 DIFFERENT TYPES OF FRUIT.

       

Deuteronomy 2:14 Wanderings in the Wilderness

14“Now the time that it took for us to come from Kadesh-barnea until we crossed over the brook Zered was 38 years, until all the generation of the men of war perished from within the camp, as the LORD had sworn to them.

My Birthday :February 14th   2/14

I currently happen to be  38 years old

I was born in the wilderness.

I spent the first 30 years of my life trying to be somebody.

The past 8 years realizing I was nobody.

Recently, realizing what He can do with a nobody. 

Before I could learn to program, I had to have a basic knowledge of a computer and it’s components.  I had to understand the basic architecture of the framework that was allowing me to write code in the first place.  All Software Applications are designed and built upon certain  frameworks and Platforms like  Microsoft (windows) that allows you to write code in the first place.

To understand God’s Redemptive plan we have to understand The Framework and over arching story of the Biblical Narrative

 By the 7th Chapter we see Noah’s Flood

 4 chapters later we see the descendants of Noah came together to build the TOWER OF BABEL.

God then came and scattered the Languages

Genesis 11: The Tower of Babel

(Daniel 1:1-7)

1And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech. 2And it came to pass, as they journeyed from the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar; and they dwelled there. 3And they said one to another, Go to, let us make brick, and burn them thoroughly. And they had brick for stone, and slime had they for mortar. 4And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach to heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad on the face of the whole earth. 5And the LORD came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men built. 6And the LORD said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do. 7Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another’s speech. 8So the LORD scattered them abroad from there on the face of all the earth: and they left off to build the city. 9Therefore is the name of it called Babel; because the LORD did there confound the language of all the earth: and from there did the LORD scatter them abroad on the face of all the earth.

The Revelation 12 sign confirms that we are in Babylon and John pleads for us to come out her.

Revelation 18 : Babylon is Fallen

Come out of her, my people, that you be not partakers of her sins, and that you receive not of her plagues.5For her sins have reached to heaven, and God has remembered her iniquities.

NIMROD

HOLLYWOOD

 

---

Babel or Babylon = “confusion, by way of mixing“

Nimrod = “Rebellion”  :: “The Author of Confusion”

---

 1 CORINTHIANS 14 

33For GOD IS NOT THE AUTHOR OF CONFUSION,but of peace

---

After God scattered the Languages, Babel took root again in Egypt.

NIMROD which means “rebellion” became:

---

OSIRIS to the Egyptians

---

BAAL to Caananites.  

APOLLO to the Greeks/Romans 

QUETZACOATL to Mayans

God then called Abram out of Haran and established His covenant with Him.

Genesis 15:13-14  

And he said unto Abram, Know of a surety that thy seed shall be a stranger in a land that is not theirs, and shall serve them; and they shall afflict them 400 years; And also that nation, whom they shall serve, will I judge: and afterward shall they come out with great substance.

---

70 souls went into Egypt with Jacob

---

---

After Joseph died, Israel became enslaved and oppressed by the new Pharoah.  God then used Moses to bring them out of Egypt

---

“that nation, whom they shall serve, will I judge:

and afterward shall they come out with great substance.”

---

Why did God do this?  

To clarify any confusion they might have on who they serve.

To make a distinction.

Exodus 11:7

that ye may know how that the LORD doth put a difference between the Egyptians and Israel.  

ISaiah 48 :  Israel’s Stubbornness

Behold, I have refined thee, but not with silver; I have chosen thee in the furnace of affliction.

We also see God establishing the precedencethat it’s His chosen people,IsraelvsTHE NATIONS.

ISAIAH 40 :17

ALL NATIONS BEFORE HIM ARE AS NOTHING; and they are counted to him less than nothing, and vanity.

Matthew 24: 

Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name’s sake.

Matthew 25

And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats:

DEUTERONOMY 32 : SONG OF MOSES

8When the Most HighDIVIDEDto the nations their inheritance, when he separated the sons of Adam, he set the bounds of the people according to the number of the children of Israel.  9For THE LORD’S PORTION IS HIS PEOPLE; JACOB IS THE LOT OF HIS INHERITANCE.

Deuteronomy 7 : Casting out the Nations

6 For thou [art] an holy people unto the LORD thy God: the LORD thy God hath chosen thee to be a special people unto himself, above all people that [are] upon the face of the earth. 7 The LORD did not set his love upon you, nor choose you, because ye were more in number than any people; for ye [were] the fewest of all people:
