TODAY’S PROPHETIC NUMBERS

August 26, 2024 – 08/26/2024
  8 – New Beginnings
26 – Beloved

HOME IS WITH MY BELOVED

By grace, we are now fully part of God’s kingdom, a holy habitation. Our souls long to be with our Beloved, and that draws us deeper into that place of belonging.

Lord, I have loved the habitation of Your house, And the place where Your glory dwells. – Psalms 26:8 NKJV

In a wonderful way, the number 26 deals with messianic bloodlines and King David. It is the number of generations from David to Christ. It’s also the number of generations between Moses and Adam.  In the book Song of Solomon, by King David’s son, Soloman, the word “beloved” is found 26 times. David means “beloved.” Though the name “David” is common today, it’s extraordinarily unique in the Bible. There is only one David in all the biblical texts.

Also unique, the number 26 is found only once in all of scripture. It is the numerical value of the name of God in Hebrew. It is the sum of the Hebrew letters yod, he, waw, and he, giving us the name YHWH, 10+5+6+5=26. This name of four letters adding up to 26 is found in Genesis 4:1-26. It begins with the name Adam and ends with the name of God – Yahweh. Pretty cool, huh? Cooler is how beloved you are to God the Father. The Apostle John knew how much God loved us and wrote about it so we would all know the same thing.

Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God, and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God. He who does not love does not know God, for God is love. – 1 John 4:7 NKJV

These wise words, written by a man who walked in the power of God’s love, encourage us in our walk today.

Declaration: I am the Beloved, and He is mine.  Holy Spirit empowers me to be a source of the Lord’s love everywhere I go today.
