The Second Census was about the redemption of inheritance. It was held twenty years after the first census Stephen Jones was led to conduct. It was based on Numbers 26, the time at the end of the captivity of the children of Israel. Also, I was awaken just before our trip to KC for the Tabernacles Conference and was told to prepare to speak on “inheritance” if I was asked. I spoke for 10 minutes in the last hour on the last day of the conference and relayed the essence of the Second Census.
As I have mentioned, the final, official count of the Second Census was 532, a number of redemption from death. This is the number of Spiritual Perfection of cleansing, the result is “Life”.
The 10th miracle of Elisha was the cleansing of leprosy (death) of Naaman in 2 Kings 5:
1 Now Naaman, commander of the army of the king of Syria, was a great and honorable man in the eyes of his master, because by him the LORD had given victory to Syria. He was also a mighty man of valor, but a leper
Naaman was subject to death, even though he was a mighty man of valor. Who else had been given such a title? Those who inherited the Promised Land:
Joshua 10:7 NKJV – So Joshua ascended from Gilgal (Rolling), he and all the people of war with him, and all the mighty men of valor.
Near Shechem (Ridge) was where Joshua had renewed the Covenant and read all of the Words of the Law. (Joshua 8:30-35)
Back to Naaman… He had overcome the enemy, he was a mighty man of valor, but he was a leper (subject to death). He had persevered through many trials and was a seasoned man of warfare. As a reward for this valor:
5 Then the king of Syria said, “Go now, and I will send a letter to the king of Israel.”
So he departed and took with him ten talents of silver, six thousand shekels of gold, and ten changes of clothing.
6 Then he brought the letter to the king of Israel, which said,
Now be advised, when this letter comes to you, that I have sent Naaman my servant to you, that you may heal him of his leprosy.
“10” is the number of Divine Order, or Law. “6,000” represent the six days of work, prior to the Day of Rest (when you only do what you Hear Our Heavenly Father command). The changes of clothing represent moving from mortality to immortality. The king of Israel was disturbed but Elisha stepped in to on behalf of Israel to deal with the matter:
7 And it happened, when the king of Israel read the letter, that he tore his clothes and said, “Am I God, to kill and make alive, that this man sends a man to me to heal him of his leprosy? Therefore please consider, and see how he seeks a quarrel with me.”
8 So it was, when Elisha the man of God heard that the king of Israel had torn his clothes, that he sent to the king, saying, “Why have you torn your clothes? Please let him come to me, and he shall know that there is a prophet in Israel.”
Elisha was ordained to perform 16 miracles, a sign of Love, a double portion of Elijah’s ministry of 8 miracles. Just as Joshua (Jeshua Yeshuwa`) was to complete Moses’ mission, Elisha was to complete the Elijah mission.
9 Then Naaman went with his horses and chariot, and he stood at the door of Elisha’s house. 10 And Elisha sent a messenger to him, saying, “Go and wash in the Jordan seven times, and your flesh shall be restored to you, and you shall be clean.”
“76” is the number of cleansing and Naaman was directed to do this cleansing 7 times… (76×7=532). Naaman is a picture of moving from death to life, mortality to immortality. He was a man of action, a mighty man of valor. The 6,000 talents of gold point to the end of the 6,000 years of man’s work, entering into the Divine Nature of the Rest work. The silver representing redemption reflects the Divine Order.
Could this Second Census be the turning point and pointing to the rest work?
By the way, in Bible code I am told that from Genesis 1:1, each 532nd letter in sequence spells out “GOD is able”. I say “Amen”!
The Kansas City Tabernacles Conference was both an ending and a beginning. Stay tuned.
