On July 20, 2007, I heard: Sarah died . Then on September 26, 2007, I simply heard:

Methuselah . But, nearly 11 months later, at precisely 11:11 pm, on August 13, 2008, I was

jolted awake with the word: Methuselah is dead .

Numbers have meaning, and the number 11 refers to “disorder, disintegration,” and 11:11 is a

double witness. What does all this mean?

Something significant happened after Sarah, Abraham’s wife, died; Abraham sent his servant to

seek a bride for his son of promise, Isaac (see Genesis 23-24). In other words, once Sarah

died, Isaac received his bride, Rebekah.

Abraham is a type of God the Father, and Isaac is a type of the Son of God, for he was born by

a move of God when Sarah was beyond her child-bearing days. His birth was miraculous, just

as the birth of Jesus was miraculous. Sarah is a type of the wife of Jehovah, which under the

Old Covenant speaks of ancient Israel.

I believe that, in our present day, Sarah’s death refers to the final judgment of the current

modern state of Israel. Perhaps, and I emphasize perhaps, the word I was given indicates that

Israel and Jerusalem, which, by the way, is called Sodom and Egypt (Revelation 11:8), as we

know them, are going to fall in order to release the wife of the Lamb under the New Covenant,

the true spiritual Israel. If this is true, then we need to keep our eyes upon the events in the

Middle East in the near term (the next several years), especially during the month of September.

The word Methuselah also has great significance, for this name means “man of death” or “man

of dart.” The first time I received this word, I received a series of seven words, but it is significant

that this word was the sixth in the series.

Six is the number of man, and after six days comes the seventh day, which speaks of the day of

the Lord. When Methuselah died, the whole world changed. He was the longest living man in

human history, and, when he died, judgment came upon the world through the flood. The flood

introduced a new day to this earth. Likewise, I believe Methuselah is dead indicates that the end

is very near. Great change is coming to this earth, not by a flood of water but by a flood of the

Holy Spirit.

The seventh day is coming!

I do not know the details of how this will unfold, but I do know that it will be both good and bad. It

will be judgment on the world system that has held mankind in bondage. But this is good, for the

shaking that must come and, by the way, has come is good news; it means that the kingdom of

our Lord is very near and the conquerors, the sons of glory, are about to be revealed as a

kingdom and priests to our God; and they will reign upon the earth for 1,000 years with Christ

(Revelation 5:10; 20:6).

My encouragement is to hold on a bit longer. Do not grow weary. Be a conqueror!
