33 in scripture means fresh revelation. 41 in Hebrew is separation of God's people from the Philistines and out of Egypt, and in the Bible refers to Jesus as redeemer and judge. You see, there was a clear message from God about the Super Bowl this year. I have heard a few believers say that the New England Patriots represent America, and the Philadelphia Eagles represent the Church of Philadelphia. There is and has been much going on here that God does not approve of. Judgment is coming, His wrath is coming. He hates evil, sin. I definitely saw God using the game and the two teams as a metaphor. There are many players on the Eagles that got to know Jesus as their personal savior due to the backup quarterback Nick Foles telling them about Jesus. He also wants to be a Pastor. I said to myself wow, what a fitting name that they are saved.. Philadelphia. This is the message Jesus had for the Church of Philadelphia in Revelation 3:7-12:
"And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write; These things saith he that is holy, he that is true, he that hath the key of David, he that openeth, and no man shutteth; and shutteth, and no man openeth; 8 I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it: for thou hast a little strength, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name. 9 Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee. 10 Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth. 11 Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown. 12 Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and I will write upon him my new name." This is the true Church! The Bride of Christ, who Jesus is coming back for! The Redeemed ones, the Changed ones, Truly living for Jesus! It's not that you're perfect, but you die to yourself daily.. "And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me." (Luke 9:23) :-) There is a song that was remade by Donald Lawrence and the Tri-City Singers called "Sign Me Up" check it out: www.youtube.com/watch?v=K3FsFW-JXcI I remember thinking about Isaiah 40:31 after the game finished, "But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint." It was quite a BIG message to His Church, to the Body of Christ.
