Prophetic people love the numbers 222/2222. Many go to Isaiah 22:22 which says, “Then I will set the key of the house of David on his shoulder, When he opens no one will shut, When he shuts no one will open.” This verse becomes a prophecy about keys, God is giving us the keys to open and to close. Others go to Revelation 22:2 and receive it as a sign of healing for it says, “In the middle of its street, either side of the river was the tree of life, bearing twelve kinds of fruit, yielding its fruit every month; and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.” I have come to believe every 222 or 2222 scripture we love to quote is a nod to Jesus. For He is the key of the house of David; He is the tree of life; He is the healing of the nations. So, when I find a 222 or 2222 sign God highlights to me, it reminds me of Jesus and who He is.

Today I was reading Haggai 2:22 and it is not a frequently quoted 222 verse, but it does carry promises I believe are happening right now in our midst, we can feel them but not necessarily see them…yet. “I will overthrow the thrones of kingdoms and destroy the power of the kingdoms of the nations; and I will overthrow the chariots and their riders, and the horses and their riders will go down, everyone by the sword of another.” Haggai is releasing a prophetic word of encouragement to the exiles who returned from Babylon and were rebuilding the temple in Jerusalem as stated in Ezra 4. This is a word of encouragement because it was a nod to what God did to Pharoh when Israel exited Egypt. I believe it is a word of encouragement for us today as well.

Church, God is shaking the heavens, not to harm us, but to help us. There have been powers, principalities and rulers in the heavenly realm orchestrating rulership through people in the earth realm and the Lord has been watching it for decades, but has decided in His sovereignty during our lifetime to shake them out of the heavens again, overthrow them again, and rescue us as the nations from their grip again. We are in the midst of a rescue mission from an enemy we did not even know we were under. Yahweh is doing this, Yeshua is restoring nations to righteousness, Jehovah alone is behind the shaking. I can’t say it enough, be still and know that He is God (Psalm 46:10). When the dust settles we will see the King of Righteousness was behind the shaking and we will celebrate!
