“You number my wanderings; Put my tears into Your bottle; Are they not in Your book?” (Ps 56:8, NKJ)
The whole excursion that we had around the Bible Codes was just to make you understand one thing, similar to that which God wanted to do with Joshua according to Ex 17:14: “Then the Lord said to Moses, ‘Write this for a memorial in the book and recount it in the hearing of Joshua …’”J
Thus, know that you are engraved in the Word: your whole history, your future, all that has been written up in His book (Ps 139:16) by the foreknowledge of God (1 Pet 1:2) since before the foundation of the world. “Now go, write it before them on a tablet, and note it on a scroll, that it may be for time to come, forever and ever.” (Is 30:8). Naturally, that which is in the future is still hidden (Isa 29:11-12), because God does not allow us to fiddle with any form of future prediction (2 Kings 17:17; Eze 21:21; Acts 16:16). [If your eye is tuned in to markers of paradigmatic reading, then you would’ve immediately noticed the interesting pattern in these Scripture references.] Briefly, as the Scripture says above: He has counted your wanderings, every tear drop has been put away; if all this minuscule detail is in His book, then how much more so your calling and election!
We are currently busy with the section on how to hear the voice of God, and more specifically: how does God talk to us through the Word. But if the Bible is seen as a book that is detached from you, then you cannot use it as a “lamp to [your] feet and a light to [your] path” (Ps 119:105). Nonetheless, the use of this specific Scripture has become so overused that the Lord God has to take us into the mysteries of the rest of Ps 119 (the longest chapter in the Bible, and EVERY VERSE has to do with the Godly Word – how else?) so that we can get back the fear of the Lord regarding His Word. Isa 66:2 does not say for nothing that: “But on this one I will look: On him who … trembles at My word”.
In light of this, look again at Ps 19:7-12: “The law of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul; the testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple; the statutes of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart; the commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes; the fear of the Lord is clean, enduring forever; The judgments of the Lord are true ad righteous altogether. More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold; sweeter than honey and the honeycomb. Moreover by them Your servant is warned, and in keeping them there is great reward. Who can understand his errors? Cleanse me from secret faults.” Sela, please.
In Luke 8:10 Christ spells it out: “To you it has been given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God …” But David qualifies this in Ps 25:14: “The secret of the Lord is with those who fear Him, and He will show them His covenant.” This is also your inheritance.
