“And now, compelled by the Spirit, I am going to Jerusalem, not knowing what will happen to me there. I only know that in every city the Holy Spirit warns me that prison and hardships are facing me. However, I consider my life worth nothing to me, if only I may finish the race and complete the task the Lord Jesus has given me –the task of testifying to God’s grace” Acts 20:22-24
A NEW YEAR
Last year about this time I wrote a post for the New Year titled “Year of the Serpent” a reference not to the Chinese New Year which was year of the Ox but to what I believed would be the defining theme for the year ahead and as it turns out I wasn’t far off the mark.
THE NUMBER 21
The number 21 as it relates to year 2021 is tied to or symbolic of great wickedness and rebellion. And, I think this past year has proven to be that and more without a doubt. And even more importantly perhaps is the “vaccine” which was rolled out on March 11th of this past year which many now refer to as either “the jab” or “the snake bite” for the dubious if not out right insidious and deadly venom contained therein. Moving on.
THE NUMBER 22
The number 22 (as we focus on the coming year) is a double 11 which Biblically speaking is the number for chaos, disorder and judgment. And we also have the triple digit 2’s (when the zero is dropped) which points to both marriage (Genesis 2:22) when God created Eve from the rib of man and murder and betrayal in Luke 22:2 and Luke 22:22 when the Pharisees conspired to kill Jesus and the betrayal by Judas.
MARRIAGE, MURDER And BETRAYAL
In the image above the three twos are prominent while the zero is dropped. And while the zero is still being supported it leaves us with the idea that it is the multiple of two’s which are important. And this is just an image I selected after viewing a few choices but nevertheless seems to fit as I’m writing this post. Therefore, I can see like the Apostle Paul in Acts 20:22-24 that this year contains all the elements for hardship, betrayal and perhaps even murder (martyrdom) for some but also the strong possibility that marriage to our beloved bridegroom is equally within this framework as well. We shall see.
“Pray for the peace of Jerusalem they shall prosper who love thee” Psalm 122: 6
Watching and waiting with you for the soon return of Jesus! Cindy
Heaven Bound 
I would just like to add: In my Biblical Mathematics book (by Pastor Ed Vallowe), the number 22 can also mean LIGHT (or revelation). I take that to mean that people will be seeing more clearly regarding the issues we are facing in 2022, especially those walking in the Light they already have. Also 20 in the same book means redemption. So there is hope here as well for those who seek FIRST the Kingdom of God and REPENT from all sin. thanks for sharing this – lots to ponder here. God bless you, Cindy! Jane Elizabeth Schaech
