  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

In 2 Kings 10:8 we read...
And there came a messenger, and told him, saying, They have brought the heads of the king's sons. And he said, Lay ye them in two heaps at the entering in of the gate until the morning.

This may seem like a strange thing to do, as this topic I am fixin to post may also seem equally as strange, but I find these things quite interesting.

Sometimes there is a deeper message hidden in the wording of scripture,
even though we may not fully understand it, to me it just confirms the work of the Master.

I believe this sign of 70 heads at the gate in 2 separate heaps has to do with a sign of time, as strange as this may sound.

This same sign was shown to us in Luke 10:1 when the Lord appointed 70 disciples and sent them out 2 by 2 before his face into every city.

This gathering 2 by 2 was also shown in the gathering of the beasts into the ark, which also has to do with the Lords ingathering process, which I believe is also based on time.

These 70 are also shown in the 70 palm trees(disciples) in Exodus 12:27 along with the 12 wells of water(12 apostles.)

Notice in Ezekiel 41:19 we see in the design of the Temple there is the face of a man looking toward a palm tree on one side, and then the face of a lion looking toward the palm tree on the other side.

A clue to this mystery would be in Jericho, which is called the city of palms, which by the way Jesus passed through on his way to Jerusalem.

I believe Jericho reflects the Nations, just as that Great multitude of the Nations in Revelation 7:9 has palms in their hands.

This 70 was also shown to us in the 70 elders in Exodus 24:1, which were anointed by the Spirit of the Lord when he came down in a cloud and they began to prophesy without the camp.

These 70 were the heads of the tribes that were chosen out by God, just as Jesus chose out the 70 disciples. We read in Psalm 24:7;"Lift up your heads, O ye gates; and be lift up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of Glory shall come in."

These heads(Numbers 1:16, and Numbers 30:1, and Duet. 5:23) at the gates were of the 12 tribes, just as there are 12 gates total in the Great city, the Holy Jerusalem(Revelation 21:12.)

The meaning of the head, is the meaning of knowledge given by God to his chosen disciples. In Micah 2:13 we read;"The breaker is come up before them: they have broken up, and have passed through the gate, and are gone out by it: and their King shall pass before them, and the Lord on the head of them."

Also keep in mind Jesus is the gate way to the sheepfold.

So why were the heads divided at the gate? I believe it has to do with the dividing of the kingdom, and also the dividing of time.

In Joshua 19:51 we see the dividing of the inheritances by the High Priest, Joshua, and the heads of the fathers of the tribes of Israel.

This division of 70 is shown as 70 divided by 2=35; which can be shown as a dividing of time.

This is also shown in the design of the Temple of the width of the building to the west before the separate place being measured at 70 cubits, or 70x18=1,260. Which is also the sign of time at 3.5 years, or 42 months.

Just as the posts of the outer court, with palm trees on the posts, were on this side, and also on that side(Ezekiel 40:37.)

But like I say, these things are hard to understand. Peace.

The seventy sent out are the ones from the loins of Jacob and again the ones sent out by Jesus and the two by two are the teachings are all writen one set against another, life is set against death, flesh with spirit . Well two understandings in their teachings. The gates are the gates of learning and the seventy heads are the teachings of the seventy.
The time times and half time is, there is a time for every purpose under heaven , a time to plant and the time to harvest, a time to be born and a time to die etc. The times are Times of trouble and times of deliverence. Times past and times to come. There are times of ignorance and suffering but there are times of refreshing. But this is where the half time come in. The things of the Lord are given but only the half of them are understood. behold, the two halves of me, the man of war and the man of peace. All the lower things are the things of short time because they fall short of the glory and come with the face of the dragon but to be nurished away from the face of the enemy is to be feed the above teachings and be made whole.
Thats what is meant when it says Satan came with great wrath because he new his time was short. Thats because in a short time men are made vain and to them the law is void of council with understanding.

If you think of 70 years like a week, and the Messiah ( the gate Way) of the sheep being cut off in the midst of this week, we can even see this sign of time.

Jerusalem being destroyed in 70 a.d. would end this 70 year week.

The Lord allways does that Spiritinturth. There are seven days so there are seven lights and each light adds to to the past on the morrow. So then you have seven churchs. Every thing happens after six days in scriptures because on the seventh there is rest. There is a lot of stuff that works like that, there are twelve months and twelve moons , so twelve disciples and the seven are part of the twelve ministries, five inside thew temple and seven outside.

Spirit, I see where you go with the numbers and don't dispute you on it. For me it is like this. If the shephard rejoice because he found the lost sheep and the the lost sheep totaled 100. Then you see Abraham was circumsized after he was 99 so the 100 means covenant with God and then the same as it is said they keep score with their left hand and then the numbers were 1 score for each 20 and then the total moved to the right at 100. God always works like that because everything has its counter part. Even the age people dies, the numbers tell his state with the Lord.
