HAPPY EASTER!!!
YET WITHIN THREE DAYS!
Genesis 40:13, KJV
"Yet within three days shall Pharaoh lift up thine head, and restore thee unto thy place: and thou shalt deliver Pharaoh's cup into his hand, after the former manner when thou wast his butler."
There are things that happen within a number of days. This event of the butler being restored back to his office is one. Joseph says, "Yet within three days, shall Pharaoh lift thy head and restore thee unto place..."
Did you catch any significance in that? Did you catch any feeling of predictiveness in that? "Yet within three days..."
It means what will happen will happen within three days. Time was measured and slated for it. Expectation and hope can therefore be aroused having something tangible to latch unto. "Yet within three days..."
Are there people reading this that the Lord's Word is also coming through saying, 'Yet within three days..."
When time is designated for something, you not only have prophecy at hand, you know when to expect till. "Yet within three days..." is the fence that surrounds what will happen to the butler and within three days as we read, Pharaoh lifted up his head and restored him to his office, to deliver the cup into his hands.
Genesis 40:20-21, KJV
"20 And it came to pass the third day, which was Pharaoh's birthday, that he made a feast unto all his servants...
21 And he restored the chief butler unto his butlership again; and he gave the cup into Pharaoh's hand."
It happened within the specified three days, specifically delivered on the third. This is your third day too, I ask for you, "Be restored!" What have you lost that should be taken back? Let it happen on this third day. The Bible speaking of Jesus says, "Because thou wilt not leave my soul in hell, neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption" (Acts 2:27, KJV).
He escaped corruption (the general fate of humanity) which is to die, decay and become decomposed by the earth. Rather, He rose. God didn't allow His Holy One to see corruption like David (an example of a mortal man) saw.
Acts 13:36-37, KJV
"36 For David, after he had served his own generation by the will of God, fell on sleep, and was laid unto his fathers, and saw corruption:
37 But he, whom God raised again, saw no corruption."
God sovereignly prevented Jesus from seeing corruption. That's because His Spirit raised Jesus from the dead (Rom. 8:11). And guess when it happened. It happened on the third day. That was not an accident. The third day was even prophesied by Jesus Himself and He didn't miss that slated time. Jesus was crucified on Friday (traditionally called Good Friday). He was placed on the tomb before sundown on the same day. On Saturday, he stayed in the tomb in silence - an act that actually testifies to the fact that He died indeed. Meanwhile, it's also at this time that He went and preached unto the spirits in prison though it wasn't visible to any human eyes (I Peter 3:19). This invisible workings that is a pause/silence to us is truly symbolic of the fact that all is finished and that every strivings are ended. However on the third day, Jesus rises from the dead. His tomb was found empty. He therefore fulfills the scriptures, "On the third day He will raise us up" (Hosea 6:2). Just like Jonah was in the belly of the fish for three days and three nights, so Jesus fulfilled and resurrected on the third day (Jonah 1:17, Matthew 12:40).
On the third day it was accomplished just like He Himself said, comparing Himself to Jonah who was three days and nights in the fish's belly. Today, every Word of God that has been tried till now in your life is coming to pass. This is the third day. Death couldn't hold Him captive. Nothing therefore shall be able to hold you captive. "For death couldn't holden Him down" - therefore you cannot be incapacitated. You will rather fulfill your prophecy and fulfill your destiny. So shall it be. Happy Easter!
PRAYER: Thank God for Jesus' death and all privileges availed us through His death and resurrection.
