Entering Chambers and Noah's 10 Days of Intimacy

But intimacy with Him ultimately is the heart of spiritual readiness. So, now let's look at Isaiah 26: "Enter into your chambers." This is really for the Feast of Trumpets, and I'm going to explain that. But look at what Isaiah says here: "Come, my people, enter your chambers, and shut your doors behind you; hide yourselves for a little moment until the indignation has passed." So, again, we go through this on the Feast of Trumpets. And again, this is what Isaiah is really talking about is that time period from the Feast of Trumpets into Yom Kippur. I'm just trying to correlate it to the story of Noah with the 10 days of Noah, because there's a great correlation with the 10 days of Noah and the 10 days of awe, or the 10 days between the Feast of Trumpets and Yom Kippur, or the Day of Atonement. So, when Yeshua returns, that's going to be on the 6,000th completed day from Adam, or the sixth day completed.

And then the Day of the Lord will begin on the Feast of Trumpets. Well, those 10 days, in the Day of the Lord, will be kind of like Noah: these 10 days, these 10 extra days. So, we've got to understand that those 10 days are going to be warfare. The Day of the Lord is going to be the sword, going to be fire, all of these things for 10 days. And then He redeems Israel and all of the believers, the Gentiles and the Jews, on the Day of Atonement. So, super important when we look at the correlation between the 10 days of awe and then the 10 days extra of the year that Noah had to stay in, if you will, these 10 days. So, super important to correlate that together because of the intimacy that we can get out of it, is what we're trying to go for in the understanding. So, again, Isaiah is talking about the 10 days of awe. You'll be hidden in the Day of the Lord. That goes with King David in Psalm 27:5: "For He will hide me in His pavilion; In the secret of His tabernacle He will hide me; He will set me high upon a rock." He's talking about the Day of the Lord.

Then also Zephaniah, in the book of Zephaniah, he's talking about it as well, and he tells you clearly that you will be hidden in the Day of the Lord. He says that exactly. So, again, hidden in the Day of the Lord. So, it's called Yom HaKeseh. You'll be hidden in the Day of the Lord, is what the Hebrew would tell you. But that goes into what Noah: you'll be hidden in the ark, just like Noah was as well. So, this passage speaks of God's people entering their chambers while divine indignation passes, which is what will be on the 10 days of awe when He returns, just like it was when Noah got into the ark as well. So, in its prophetic context, it concerns judgment and God's people finding refuge, but it also offers a powerful image for personal reflection. So, compare Genesis 7: Noah enters the ark. Isaiah 26: God's people are instructed to enter their chambers. And Matthew 25: the prepared virgins, the wise virgins, they enter into the wedding.

These passages repeatedly confront us with questions of obedience, preparation, and where we seek refuge. In Psalm 91:1, "He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty." We all know that scripture. That chapter is very important for all of us with spiritual warfare and also with covering and anointing of Psalm 91. "He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty," or be sealed in the ark of God, if you will. Notice the word "dwells." It is not merely a temporary visit. The psalm describes a continuing relationship of trust and refuge in God. Therefore, the 10-day invitation, Heshvan 17 to Heshvan 27, is not about withdrawing from responsibilities or expecting some supernatural protection from every hardship. It is about intentionally cultivating the relationship that the Holy Scriptures encourage us to maintain throughout our lives.

And this is just one little journey that we find on the biblical calendar. Again, this is just a 10-day little journey. You're not going to find too many people talking about it, but this is just a journey, a 10-day journey, kind of like the 10 days of awe, but it's not the 10 days of awe. It's not a divine appointment like the 10 days of awe, Trumpets and Yom Kippur is. So, just know that. But it's a very important time in this month of Heshvan, the quiet month, if you will, where the rains are starting to come down and it's a little bit quiet to get inside of the ark of God and be intimate with Him. This is why the flood came during this month, is because of this personal application and revelation that we can all get during this time period of these 10 days. And again, Noah stayed in the ark for one year and 10 days. So, again, if you want to stay in it for a year and 10 days, go right ahead.
