HIS STILL SMALL VOICE: Revelations in Numbers (cont'd)
Today is March 27th, and in keeping with the daily blog posts, I am going to share as led this day.
Again, as referenced in the Awakening... Silence in Heaven, the number 27 is symbolic of THE PREACHING OF THE GOSPEL. In the post, I summarized this section as follows:
27: TWENTY-SEVEN symbolizes the PREACHING OF THE GOSPEL
This speaks to the GREAT COMMISSION and ties in with the the previous example. I believe once the TRUE CHURCH (not the building, but the CALLED OUT ASSEMBLY) is made ready (prepared) that the gospel is then preached to the world, to the nations, to the unsaved to reap God's final harvest.
With further revelation about the number 27, based on the pattern of the numbers, again, I see our repeated theme of REDEMPTION (20) combined with God's perfect number (7) which is the foundation of God's word. It is the number of COMPLETENESS AND PERFECTION (both physical and spiritual).
Last year to date, March 27, 2013, I awoke to the words, "Wedding of Cana," which ties in neatly with this number 27.
It is the COMPLETION or PERFECTION of the REDEEMED ONES, who will be made ready to embark upon end time ministry to reap this final harvest.
At the beginning of this month, I kept repeating this scripture, which I find to be just as appropriate.
Phillipians 1:6
"Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:"
The Wedding at Cana
Often God has spoken to Me, "Complete in three." We know that there are multiple applications of that phrase. The one that immediately comes to mind is the fulness of the Godhead, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, are complete (One — echad) in three (persons), and we see God (Elohim, the plurality of Deity) all present and actively participating in Creation (Genesis 1).
On the first day of creation, God also commanded the light to appear and called the light out of darkness and separated them, calling the light good.
I read a great post, "Knowing and Experiencing the Triune God as the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob," which expounds upon experiencing God in all three persons.
NOTE: Jacob's life was transformed. This is the work of the Holy Spirit, transformation and sanctification. This is recommended reading for the Berean-like followers of Yeshua.

The Wedding of Cana was the first miracle, the kickoff to Christ's earthly ministry. God has also spoken on several occasions, "As it was in the beginning, so shall it be in the end." I believe the same holds true in this instance.
There was a marriage. What is marriage? It's two becoming one. In the natural, we think of husband and wife, but in the spirit, it's the reconciliation of the soul and spirit. It is how we are made whole.
The Wedding of Cana is a type of outpouring (baptizo) of the Holy Spirit, to produce the new wine to be served to the wedding guests.

I am also reminded of the first fulfillment of the outpouring of the Holy Spirit in Acts 2, when the Holy Spirit came at Pentecost.
Acts 2:1-4
1 And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place.
2 And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.
3 And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them.
4 And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.
If you recall, after the resurrection (Feast of First Fruits), Christ walked the earth for 40 days instructing the disciples and before He ascended into heaven, He told them to wait for the Holy Spirit to come upon them and give them power. Acts 1

The first outpouring at Pentecost was the early (former) rain. But now we await the latter rain outpouring which encompasses the former and the latter.
Joel 2:23-29
23 Be glad then, ye children of Zion, and rejoice in the Lord your God: for he hath given you the former rain moderately, and he will cause to come down for you the rain, the former rain, and the latter rain in the first month.
24 And the floors shall be full of wheat, and the vats shall overflow with wine and oil.
25 And I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten, the cankerworm, and the caterpiller, and the palmerworm, my great army which I sent among you.
26 And ye shall eat in plenty, and be satisfied, and praise the name of the Lord your God, that hath dealt wondrously with you: and my people shall never be ashamed.
27 And ye shall know that I am in the midst of Israel, and that I am the Lord your God, and none else: and my people shall never be ashamed.
28 And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions:
29 And also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out my spirit.
In my friend's blog post about the 40 Days of Cleansing, this time is preparation for Passover. Passover is the first of the seven feasts (Feast of YHWH, belonging to the LORD), and the first in the cycle of REDEMPTION.
It is the continual (FOREVER) celebration and remembrance of the sacrifice of Yeshua, who paid the cost, the price for our redemption. When we receive of Him and crown Him king in our hearts, then we are "in Christ" and we then participate in the spiritual death, burial and resurrection.
I am going to stop here and share another post about the Wedding Feast and it's parallel to the Wedding at Cana that is very insightful.
Be blessed this day...
Blog title: The Wedding Feast
In John chapter 2 we read about a wedding feast in Cana of Galilee, but do you really believe that is all there is to this story? We must desire the "deeper truths" and understanding in God's Word or we will forever remain babes, never receiving the hidden revelation that can quicken the soul:
"It is the glory of God to conceal a thing: but the honour of kings is to search out a matter." Proverbs 25:2
I believe this story actually describes through "type" the preparation of the bride (the "wise virgins"), which is still taking place as we approach spiritual midnight. This includes "the bridegroom's" eminent appearing (in the Spirit) at "the marriage" (Mat 25:10). This is when the LORD will impart the fullness of His Spirit into a remnant group of faithful believers. These believers have been called by many symbolic names throughout the Bible. Some of them you may be more familiar with than others. These names include: the wise virgins, the "man child" (who are shown chronologically to appear at the same as the "Two Witnesses"), the "144,000," and "Gideon's 300," etc. In fact, the Bible contains an inordinate amount of information (prophesies) that describe these brethren in some form or fashion all throughout its pages. This tells us they must play a very important role in God’s plan for the end-time. The marriage in Cana is just one more of the many places where we see this story unfold through the typology of Christ inhabiting and moving through a prepared people:
