TIME TO BUILD GOD'S HOUSE
by Natasha Grbich & Beverley Watkins| February 2012
This is the year of God’s House! In fact the whole millennium of 2000 is about God’s house. In Hebrew the number 2, ( ב ) is also the hebrew letter B. This letter means house. So in this second millennium, God is focused on His House. The word beit comes from a word ben meaning a son and both words come from the root word banah meaning to build. The house of God is being built by His sons!
We are also in the Hebrew year 5772. It is the decade of ayin ( ע ) which means eye. There are many interpretations of this, but I believe that it is a decade where The eyes of the Lord run to and from throughout the earth to show HImself strong on behalf of those whose heart is loyal to Him. (2 Chronicles 16:9). With this understanding of God’s focus in this millennium and decade, let us now look more closely at the current year.
Last year we explained at Rosh Hashanah that the Jewish year of 5772 was about God’s House. The 2 ( ב ) or beit is prominent this year indicating God’s focus on His house. Let’s look at it more closely:
5 - hei (ה ) behold, to look, mark, measure, take note
7 - zayin (ז ) a sword, a weapon There are 2 number 7’s in this year so we see a double weapon being formed.
2 - beit ( ב ) house
Behold a double weapon coming out of the house this year. A double edged sword is being released out of the house. Judgement and glory. War will be fought from the house and we will overcome as a house. This is a biblical pattern. In Judges 5:14 - 20, we read how the different tribes reported to fight as a unit. They fought in their tribes. Even the stars fought in their courses or houses. (verse 20). God intends for us to be part of a corporate body and to overcome the enemy TOGETHER. In 5772, you need to find the house you are assigned to and be set into it. God is setting up our victories for us, but they will be given to houses and not individuals.
This emphasis on corporate identity is carried over into the gregorian year of 2012. The numbers again draw a picture for us:
2 - beit ( ב ) house (with the millennial understanding that the sons must build the house)
0 - ayin ( ע ) eye, vision
1 - aleph (א ) the strong one, the leader, the ox
2 - beit ( ב ) house
I believe the interpretation of this is 2 fold. In 2012 the sons that are building the house must set their eyes on the Strong One, the Righteous Ox, Jesus who is Head of His house. For the pattern of the House is in Him. As we behold the Lamb, slain from the foundation of the world, we will receive our assignments in the building of His House.
At the same time, the house will receive God’s vision and building plans through the leader /apostle /father of the house. God gives His blueprints for building to the fathers and they will give them to the sons (1 Chronicles 28:10 - 12). Apostles are receiving the blueprints as master builders and they will commission the sons into their assignments this year.
The symbolic meaning of the number 12 is government. This year, we are going to see an emergence of God’s government. The dictionary defines government as ‘the system by which a nation, state or community is governed’ and ‘the action or manner of controlling or regulating a nation, people or organization’. God’s government is therefore how God governs or regulates His people. As apostles are being established in their identity and authority, God’s pattern for biblical government is also being established.
The number 12 in Hebrew is lamed ( ל )means to learn and to teach.The pictograph is a shepherd’s rod. Lamed is about the rod that comforts and protects us. We feel the rod of rebuke and discipline to bring correction and we feel the protection of the rod keeping us in position and on track with what God is speaking. As patterns, blueprints and instructions are being released from heaven this year, we will need to remain humble and teachable as we have not been this way before.
All in all, 2012 is going to be a watershed year for the Body of Christ. God’s house is being established and we are the living stones that are being built into the walls. Let us keep our eyes stayed on Him as we are SET in the House, made part OF the House and commissioned OUT of the house!
