Venture out before the storm, (Nahum 1:1,2,3, Matthew 14:24-31)

♦ The BREAKDOWN:  “Seven” is the Biblical number of “Perfect”. “Eight”, the Biblical number of “Complete”.  “Seven Shepherds” is a Hebrew catchphrase describing the “Perfect Shepherd.” “Eight Warriors” is a Hebrew catchphrase that describes the “Complete Warrior“, (Micah 5″5).  In Isaiah 11:15, “Strike the Seven Streams” is the Hebrew catchphrase for “Drying Up the Euphrates”, which simply means “Removing All Obstacles.”  The term “King” as applied in Revelation 1:6 & 5:10 states that, under Christ, we are Kings and Priests to God, and will rule and reign with Him in the Age to Come. Thus, even though we are a work in progress, we are, nonetheless, “Partakers of His Divine Nature”. (2 Peter 1:4)

The “Seven Shepherds”, the “Eight Warriors”, and the “King” are but the Distinguishing Attributes of Jesus Christ that, throughout our lives on earth, are being restored in us who Abide in the Secret Place of the Most High.  If we are truly Born Again of the Spirit, we are, day by day, being transformed by the Spirit of God, the Holy Spirit, into the Image and Likeness in which we were originally created, the Image and Likeness (Genesis 1:26) of Christ, which we forfeited in “The Fall”. Yes, we, who Dwell in the Secret Place of the Most High, are, hands-down, or should I say, hands raised, “Partakers of His Divine Nature”. (2 Peter 1:4)

SUMMARY:

IF

We Cast our Bread Upon the Water,

And our cares upon the Lord,

Seek Him like we ain’t never

Sought the Lord before;

He will, indeed, Strike the Seven Streams

Raise Up (within us) Seven Shepherds,

Eight Warriors and a King.

 

Yes, according to the Scriptures (2 Peter 1:4), without a doubt, we, who “Dwell in the Secret Place of the Most High,” are Hands Down, and Hands Raised, “Partakers of His Divine Nature”.
