Jesus told
His disciples that on the Third Day He would rise again. The Word has a lot to say about the Third Day
if we are willing to hear. We are now
living in a period of time in which the stone has been rolled away, and the
seal broken concerning revelation of prophetic events. The Third Day foretold by the prophets speaks
of a particular generation, and is based on 2 Peter 3:8. Peter admonishes us not to be ignorant of
‘this one thing.’ “Don’t forget this one
thing, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years
as one day.” We have completed 2000
years (2 days) since Christ, and we have also completed 6000 years (6 days)
since Adam. We can see an unprecedented
overlapping of the Third Day and the Seventh Day during this millennium. The Third Day and the Seventh Day are
prophetic, unlike any other time in the history of the world, and this
overlapping will never happen again!
Throughout
scripture we see the prophetic event of the Third Day revealed; the wedding at
Cana, the woman at the well, the raising of Lazarus. Moses told the Israelites to “prepare for the
Third Day, for the Lord will come down…”
In the parable of the Good Samaritan, the Samaritan, a type of Jesus,
gave the host ‘2 days’ wages, and promised to be back. When Herod wanted to kill Jesus, the Lord
said, “Go and tell that fox for me, ‘Listen, I am casting out demons and
performing cures today and tomorrow, and on the third Day I finish my
work.’ And after a ‘two days’ journey
searching for Jesus, Mary and Joseph found him on the Third Day, where else
but…in the Temple! Yes, he has risen,
and “He will revive us after two days; He will raise us up on the Third Day
that we may live before Him.” Hosea 6:2
Prayer: Father, let us see with greater clarity while
passionately pursuing You. Awaken us,
your church, to our destiny, and may we recognize the hour in which we are
living—‘Look, …the fields are white for harvest!’ May resurrection life raise us up to be the
glorious church in this day and hour, and on the Third Day ‘our temples’ be completed, “…I in them
and You in Me…”
