In recent days, I've been seeing visions of orange color, and this color stood out among other colors. The Lord then said to me, "Find out the meaning of orange color in Hebrew, and this will be what Hebrew New Year 5781 going to be like for My people! This will also be what Year 2021 going to be like for My people!"
I said "Wow!" Because this was the first time the Lord spoke this way - to release His words for a new year by finding out the meaning of a certain color in Hebrew!
You see, every color in Hebrew has its meaning and significance. For example, 'white' is the color for 'purity, holiness'; 'black' is the color for 'the fear of the Lord, abundance'; 'blue' is the color for 'revelation, blessing'; 'green' is the color for 'new life, healing, renewal'; 'red' is the color for 'life, atonement, courage'; and so on.
How about 'orange' color? It is the color for 'perseverance, strength, power, harvest, change of season'.
As a general information, the Jewish New Year (or Head of the Year) called Rosh Hashanah usually begins about three months ahead of our Gregorian New Year. So, the Jewish New Year 5781 precedes Year 2021 in our Gregorian calendar, just as the Jewish New Year 5780 preceded Year 2020 in our Gregorian calendar.
So, what does the Lord say to us in this new year? It has to do with the meaning of the color 'orange'!
- The Lord is calling His people to persevere in this change of season!
- The Lord is getting us ready for the great harvest of souls!
- The Lord is releasing His supernatural strength and power!
The Lord said further, "The key to walk in the fullness of My purposes and plans for you in this new season is to be purified, sanctified, and set apart! Spirit, soul and body! Mind, will, and emotions! Just like Daniel and his three friends who would not allow themselves to be adulterated and contaminated by the world! To fear God, and not men!"
The Lord also said, "The key to go through this next whole year is to be like Daniel! To never compromise in your walk with God, and to stay away from every form of idolatry and contamination in the world! To stand strong in the Word and in the Spirit no matter what!"
Remember, the next whole year is the year you are to:
- persevere in this change of season, no matter what!
- get ready for the great harvest of souls!
- receive His supernatural strength and power to do His will!
It is a 3-fold instruction from the Lord as you prepare for Year 2021!
Apart from the above, the Lord has also said clearly, "Be like Daniel!"
If you look at Daniel chapter 1, you'd see Daniel and his three friends chose not to defile themselves (Daniel 1:5-8). As a result, the Lord honored them, and in all matters of wisdom and understanding in which the king examined them, the king found them to be ten times better than all the magicians and astrologers who were in the king's realm! (Daniel 1:17-20)
In Daniel chapter 2, Daniel interpreted the king's dream when all the magicians and astrologers in the entire kingdom of Babylon could not! Indeed, the Lord was with Daniel and showed him many deeper things! Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon at that time was so impressed that he put Daniel to a high position, and made Daniel ruler over the whole province of Babylon, plus being the chief over all the king's wise men! (Daniel 2:46-49)
In Daniel chapter 3, the king made a gold statue and sent messages to all the governors and officials to come to the dedication of the statue he had set up. And those who do not bow down to worship the gold statue will be thrown into the fiery furnace (Daniel 3:4-6). However, Daniel's three friends did not want to defile themselves with such worship, and they did not bow down to the gold statue (Daniel 3:16-18). As a consequence, they were thrown into the fiery furnace. But you know what? They came out unscathed! The king was astonished, and he said to his counselors, "Did we not cast three men bound into the midst of the fire?" They answered and said to the king, "True, O king." But the king answered, "I see four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire; and they are not hurt, and the form of the fourth is like the Son of God." (Daniel 3:24-25) See? The Lord was with them through the fiery furnace!
Let's fast forward to Daniel chapter 6 now. By that time, there was a new king called Darius. And Daniel was chosen to supervise the officers of this king's kingdom and to protect the king's interests. So, it means Daniel was highly valued by the king! However, other administrators and officers in the kingdom tried to find fault with Daniel. But they couldn't find any. They then realized the only way of finding grounds to accuse Daniel would be something related to Daniel's faith in his God! (Daniel 6:4-5)
So, you know what they did?
They advised the king that he should make a law that will be strictly enforced, that for the next thirty days, any person who prays to anyone except the king will be thrown into the lions' den! (Daniel 6:6-7) Daniel was found to continue worshiping his God, the Lord God Almighty, and therefore he was found guilty of disrespecting this new law! As a consequence, he was thrown into the lions' den! And you know what? The Lord God sent an angel to shut the lions' mouths, and Daniel too came out unscathed! (Daniel 6:19-23)
