Shut in the Ark – I Am the Door



But the Scripture pronounces all things confined by sin,
so that by faith in Jesus Christ the promise 
might be given to those who believe.
Before this faith came, we were held in custody under the Law,
locked up until faith should be revealed.

Galatians 3:22-23



Greek: sugkleió – συγκλείω - to shut together, enclose, shut in, make subject to, confined, locked up from 4788 Strong’s Concordance
Phonetic Spelling: (soong-kli'-o) - https://biblehub.com/greek/4788.htm

Word Origin: from sun and kleió
4862 Greek: sun – σύν - sun: with, together with (expresses association with)
Phonetic Spelling: (soon)
4862 sýn (a primitive preposition, having no known etymology) – properly, identified with, joined close-together in tight identification; with (= closely identified together).

2808 Greek: kleió – κλείω – to shut, shut up
Phonetic Spelling: (kli'-o)
Matthew 6:6 – shut your door and pray to your Father


“Shut in,” “shelter in the place,” “lockdown” or whatever phrase is used we are all going through this together.
As I write this in March 2020, many throughout the world are shut in their homes, these times resonate with past times of forced confinement and restriction. For our household, this extra time has led to a time of blessed study of God’s word. Our prayers are extended to those who are truly suffering physical, spiritual and financial set-backs at this time. May the Lord encourage each of us with His Spirit to know he is with us always.

Hebrew: sagar: סָגַר - to shut, close, isolate
Phonetic Spelling: (saw-gar') – First used in Genesis 2:21
Isolation [quarantine] - Leviticus 13 & 14, Numbers 12:14-15
5462 Strong’s Concordance - https://biblehub.com/hebrew/5462.htm

The angels rescued Lot and his wife from Sodom:
But the men inside reached out, pulled Lot into the house with them,
and shut the door.  Genesis 19:10

And they entered, the male and female of every living thing,
 as God had commanded Noah. Then the LORD shut him in.
Genesis 7:16



The word QUARANTINE itself leads us to learn more about the number 40.  Quarantine comes from the Italian word quarantina ‘forty days’, from quaranta ‘forty’
In the Hebrew the word for quarantine is:  חָפְשׁוּת: chophshuth or chophshith
  - freedom, separateness
It is found in the following verses: 2 Kings 15:5 and 2 Chronicles 26:21.
Strong’s Concordance 2669: https://biblehub.com/hebrew/2669.htm

The number 40 and 40 days are represented many times in the Bible:
Forty days Moses was in the mount to receive the Law, Exo 24:18.
Forty days Moses was in the mount after the sin of the Golden Calf, Deut 9:18,25.
Forty days of the spies, issuing in the penal sentence of the 40 years, Num 13:26, 14:34.
Forty days of Elijah in Horeb, 1 Kings 19:8.
Forty days of Jonah and Nineveh, Jonah 3:4.
Forty days Ezekiel lay on his right side to symbolize the 40 years of Judah’s transgression.*
Forty days Jesus was tempted of the Devil, Matt 4:2.
Forty days Jesus was seen of His disciples, speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God, Acts 1:3.   


Take Refuge from the Coming Judgment
Come, my people, enter your chambers,
And shut your doors behind you;
Hide yourself, as it were, for a little moment,
Until the indignation is past
Isaiah 26:20

Lockdown, What Lockdown? UK Begins Tougher Action Against Those Ignoring Shutdown
UK police use drones and roadblocks to enforce lockdown


Psalm 40 - Faith Persevering in Trial
To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David.
I waited patiently for the Lord;
And He inclined to me,
And heard my cry.
2 He also brought me up out of a horrible pit,
Out of the miry clay,
And set my feet upon a rock,
And established my steps.
3 He has put a new song in my mouth—
Praise to our God;
Many will see it and fear,
And will trust in the Lord. 

“40” is filled with much promise and meaning - Probation, Trial or Transition. Hebrew letter מ MEM
Number 40 - Set apart by God, holy, sacred - "father is king"
(Greek and Hebrew word meanings).
I recorded what I have found in a blog:

Psalm 40 - Set apart by God




Shut inside their homes – Waiting

Then the Lord said to Moses, “Stretch out your hand toward heaven, that there may be darkness over the land of Egypt, darkness which may even be felt.” 22 So Moses stretched out his hand toward heaven, and there was thick darkness in all the land of Egypt three days. 23 They did not see one another; nor did anyone rise from his place for three days. But all the children of Israel had light in their dwellings.
Exodus 10:21-23

And you shall take a bunch of hyssop, dip it in the blood that is in the basin, and strike the lintel and the two doorposts with the blood that is in the basin. And none of you shall go out of the door of his house until morning. 23 For the Lord will pass through to strike the Egyptians; and when He sees the blood on the lintel and on the two doorposts, the Lord will pass over the door and not allow the destroyer to come into your houses to strike you.
Exodus 12:22-23


Jesus Christ - Yeshua Hamashiach - is our Passover Lamb! It is by his shed blood that we are saved (1 Corinthians 5:6-8).  It is important to note that we live under grace through the sacrifice of Christ. Yet these living symbols can enrich the comprehension of the finished work of Christ and deepen the understanding of future prophetic events.

Philippians 1:1,   “Peace Not  as the World Gives”
Paul's letters while under house arrest:
12 But I want you to know, brethren, that the things which happened to me have actually turned out for the furtherance of the gospel, 13 so that it has become evident to the whole [b]palace guard, and to all the rest, that my chains are in Christ; 14 and most of the brethren in the Lord, having become confident by my chains, are much more bold to speak the word without fear.


 30 Then Paul dwelt two whole years in his own rented house,
      and received all who came to him,
31 preaching the kingdom of God and teaching the things which concern the Lord Jesus Christ with all confidence, no one forbidding him.

Crown / Corona
With our current world situation I am reminded of my previous CROWN reflections.
Our recent pandemic has flooded our news – reminding us of the true battle we are in.

[ Loving God Under Trials ] Blessed is the man who endures temptation; for when he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love Him.

Luke 17
25 But first He must suffer many things and be rejected by this generation.
26 And as it was in the days of Noah, so it will be also in the days of the Son of Man:
27 They ate, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, and the flood came and destroyed them all.
28 Likewise as it was also in the days of Lot: They ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they built;
29 but on the day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven and destroyed them all.
30 Even so will it be in the day when the Son of Man is revealed.

May the Lord answer you in the day of trouble;
May the name of the God of Jacob defend you;
May He send you help from the sanctuary ...


April / Abril – to open (spring blossoms)

Meditate on God’s Word and Truth
6 ways to demonstrate faith in the midst of widespread fear:
Isaiah 26:3 - God will keep you in peace when your mind is steadfast because you trust in Him.

A prayer for all... Father, this is hard. Our faith is tested when things are hard. When we can’t see into the next day let alone the foreseeable future. Thank You for every miraculous move You have made on our behalf thus far. Continue to move, God. Heal us. Protect us. “‘Because he loves me,’ says the LORD, ‘I will reduce him; I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name. He will call on me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him and honor him. With long life I will satisfy him and show him my salvation.’” (Psalm 91:14-16)
In Jesus’ Powerful Name,
Amen.

Pray, Deliver, Praise

פָלַט palat: to escape, deliver

פָלַל  palal: to intervene, interpose, pray

הָלַל halal: shine, praise

NOTICE! Only one letter difference with DELIVER and PRAY, plus PRAY and PRAISE




Hosanna! 

Lamentations 3
22 Through the Lord’s mercies we are not consumed,
Because His compassions fail not.
23 They are new every morning;
Great is Your faithfulness.
24 “The Lord is my portion,” says my soul,
“Therefore I hope in Him!”

25 The Lord is good to those who wait for Him,
To the soul who seeks Him.
26 It is good that one should hope and wait quietly

For the salvation of the Lord.
