In the early hours of the night of July 04, 2025 | 08^’th of Tammuz 5785, I woke up with my gaze drifting to the door of our bedroom. There I saw a light emanating from the street lamp and shining on the top right-hand side of our doorframe in our room. The light covered the lintel and the upper right part of the doorpost, creating the number ‘1’.

 

I then fell asleep again and had a dream. I saw a couple as a leadership team leading a saint through different areas that I knew in that dream were the different levels of the spiritual dimension of Reuben. These levels included different emotional realms and emotional influences that the saint was being guided through.

 

During the dream, I woke up at different intervals and noticed the smell of campfire smoke (Note: symbol for passion) in the atmosphere that literally accompanied the dream. As I looked from the bedroom, at the upper threshold of the door frame and the right doorpost, I knew that both sides related to the Hebrew letter ‘Mem’ and the letter ‘Nun’, which together make the numerical value ‘90’.

 

Both letters are related to water. The Hebrew letter ‘Mem’ represents ‘surging water’ and the letter ‘Nun’ means, among other things, ‘fish’ and are connected to the dimension of Reuben, who was a firstborn and, according to the blessing of his father Jacob, is like surging or turbulent water (cf. Genesis 49:3-4a).

 

3 ‘Reuben, you are my firstborn, my might, the first sign of my strength, excelling in honour, excelling in power.

4a Turbulent as the waters, …

 

It is interesting to note that the Hebrew letter ‘Mem’ if it is written as a word carries a double ‘Mem’, with the first letter open and the second letter closed. In this context, this is a reference to the twofold portion of the firstborn, as Deuteronomy 21:17 reveals.

 

17 He must acknowledge the son of his unloved wife as the firstborn by giving him a double share of all he has. That son is the first sign of his father’s strength. The right of the firstborn belongs to him.

 

However, the twofold portion also points to the challenge that we may go through to come into the blessing of the ‘double’, which is shown because of the life of Job but also the people of Israel (cf. Job 42:10; Isaiah 61:7).

 

10 After Job had prayed for his friends, the Lord restored his fortunes and gave him twice as much as he had before.

 

7 Instead of your shame you will receive a double portion, and instead of disgrace you will rejoice in your inheritance. And so you will inherit a double portion in your land, and everlasting joy will be yours.

 

 

The number ‘90’ refers to the realm of the ‘righteous – Tzadikim’ in Christ Jesus who have gone through challenging phases of life under the guidance of the Holy Spirit and are specially trained to support others in similar challenges. As a result, they have a distinct inner peace that they maintain even in difficult situations to effectively assist others.

 

From the peace of God, which is connected to the wisdom of the Lord, they help people to align themselves correctly with the will of God in the turbulent waters and to act accordingly.

 

It is the realm of the righteous who live in the sonship of Christ and are like firmly rooted trees by the water, which points to the Spirit (cf. Psalm 1:1-3; Jeremiah 17:7-8; Revelation 22:1-2).

 

3 That person (Note: the righteous) is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither – whatever they do prospers.

7 “But blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord, whose confidence is in him.
8 They will be like a tree planted by the water that sends out its roots by the stream. It does not fear when heat comes; its leaves are always green. It has no worries in a year of drought and never fails to bear fruit.”

 

1 Then the angel showed me the river of the water of life, as clear as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb 2 down the middle of the great street of the city. On each side of the river stood the tree of life, bearing twelve crops of fruit, yielding its fruit every month. And the leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nations.

 

 

If we take a closer look at the man who was blind from birth and whom Jesus healed, it is also no coincidence that he should wash himself in the water of the Pool of Siloam after coming into contact with Jesus’ saliva on his eyes (cf. John 9:6-7).

6 After saying this, he spit on the ground, made some mud with the saliva, and put it on the man’s eyes.
7 “Go,” he told him, “wash in the Pool of Siloam” (this word means “Sent”). So the man went and washed, and came home seeing.

 

This shows that we must first become one with God’s vision for our lives in order to fulfill our destiny as messengers or ambassadors of the Lord. Furthermore, Jesus similarly healed a blind man in Bethsaida with the help of His saliva, who saw the people who were present there walking around like trees, which can be seen as a reference to the realm of the righteous in Christ Jesus (cf. Mark 8:22-25).

 

22 They came to Bethsaida, and some people brought a blind man and begged Jesus to touch him.
23 He took the blind man by the hand and led him outside the village. When he had spit on the man’s eyes and put his hands on him, Jesus asked, “Do you see anything?”
24 He looked up and said, “I see people; they look like trees walking around.”
25 Once more Jesus put his hands on the man’s eyes. Then his eyes were opened, his sight was restored, and he saw everything clearly.

 

It is important for us to recognize in this that Jesus used His saliva to heal the eyes because His voice is like the sound of many waters and the testimony of Jesus, the spirit of prophecy (cf. Revelation 1:15b i.c.w. Revelation 19:10e).

… 15b and his voice was like the sound of rushing waters (Note: here symbol for saliva).

… 10e for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.

 

 

As a righteous person in the sonship of Christ, you are a mandate bearer who establishes true peace, because establishing peace is at the core of what it means to be a son of God, i.e. when we orient ourselves to the begotten Son of God, Jesus Christ, His statement resonates in our spirit man: “My peace I give to you.” This peace, which is eternal peace, is given based on the sonship and union with God through the blood of His Son (cf. John 14:27; John 3:16).

 

27 Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.

 

16 For God [Note: the Father] so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

 

This results in a moment of reflection and the coordinated action out of the rest of God, which we need more than ever at a time like this.

 

 

The rest of God is not to be understood as slumber or sleep, but it is a rest in the form of an extraordinary tranquility and inner stillness, i.e. a state of inner peace without being inwardly agitated by challenging circumstances. Divine rest is to be in the middle of the storm, where the wave does not exist even though it is all around you, similar to the time of Jesus when He walked on the turbulent water and thereby taught Peter to govern amid the stormy waters (cf. Matthew 14:25-31).

 

25 Shortly before dawn Jesus went out to them, walking on the lake.

26 When the disciples saw him walking on the lake, they were terrified. ‘It’s a ghost,’ they said, and cried out in fear.

27 But Jesus immediately said to them: ‘Take courage! It is I. Don’t be afraid.’

28 ‘Lord, if it’s you,’ Peter replied, ‘tell me to come to you on the water.’

29 ‘Come,’ he said. Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water and came towards Jesus.

30 But when he saw the wind, he was afraid and, beginning to sink, cried out, ‘Lord, save me!’

31 Immediately Jesus reached out his hand and caught him. ‘You of little faith,’ he said, ‘why did you doubt?’

 

But for this, it is necessary that we live in a greater power of faith that has led to a transformation in which others can no longer recognize our own person in the way they did before. This is what happens when you know yourself in Christ Jesus and have a perspective that is centered in the right place.

 

Do we realize that we can either look at something terrible and triggers fear? Or can we still have peace? It depends on the perspective from which we look. Therefore, as saints, we should pay attention to how we look at circumstances!

 

Godly rest is not an interruption of activity. It is an actively present and inner peace that we receive in our hearts before God. Abiding in divine rest involves remaining in grace and abiding in that center no matter what - trusting in the LORD to whom all glory is due in all times. This centering does not mean that we sit passively at home or withdraw from areas of responsibility, because that does not involve rest, but rather comfort. As saints, we are at rest in Christ Jesus Himself while we live actively.

 

Resting in the depths of our being is therefore not laziness. Some believers think that resting means stopping everything. We should be aware that God is at rest. Jesus let us know that He and His Father are at work until now and yet the Bible says that God is at rest (cf. John 5:17).

 

17 In his defence Jesus said to them, ‘My Father is always at his work to this very day, and I too am working.’

 

Divine rest is a mystery of its own - God who works and rests is the God He is. The idea of rest is probably one of the most important keys to unlocking the depth of what is within us, similar to the statement ‘be still and worry about nothing’ (cf. Philippians 4:6-7).

 

6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.

7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

 

One way for us as saints to recognize inner peace is by believing something unreservedly, trusting in it and living independently of external circumstances. Faith is an expression of inner peace (Note: the resting in God) and not of emotional unrest, as many of us may assume. In fact, the faith that results from calmness is stronger than the faith that results from hectic activity, which often results from the soulish drive.

 

Faith produces inner peace, which we receive from the Father. Peace in turn empowers faith, because without faith there will be no peace and without peace there will be no faith. And without faith we have no works (Note: convictions, words in our communication as well as behavior), which are only revealed through faith (cf. Hebrews 4:3-5 i.c.w. James 2:18).

 

3 Now we who have believed enter that rest, just as God has said, ‘So I declared on oath in my anger, “They shall never enter my rest.” ’ And yet his works have been finished since the creation of the world.

4 For somewhere he has spoken about the seventh day in these words: ‘On the seventh day God rested from all his works.’

5 And again in the passage above he says, ‘They shall never enter my rest.’

 

18 But someone will say, ‘You have faith; I have deeds.’ Show me your faith without deeds, and I will show you my faith by my deeds.

 

For us, the number ‘1’ also prophetically points to fellowship with the Father, which we, as sons of God led by the Spirit, can only receive if we seek this rest in God and give up dead works.

 

Amen and Amen.

 

In His Wisdom,
