Mystery of the Seventy

In this insightful teaching, Valerie Moody emphasizes the importance of knowing Scripture as a foundation for spiritual growth and guidance. She highlights how Scripture serves not only as a blueprint for righteous living but also as a blessing, offering us a pathway to wisdom and maturity. Drawing from 2 Timothy 3:16-17, Valerie reminds us that without a deep understanding of Scripture, we risk missing both the divine plan and the countless benefits it provides. Her message encourages us to embrace the Word as an invaluable source of strength and direction for every stage of life.

Valerie also delves into the fascinating significance of the number 70, a number that holds special meaning in biblical contexts. Amplifying the sacred number seven, 70 is symbolic of spiritual perfection, fullness, and completion. Valerie explains how 70 serves as a marker of wisdom, renewal, and spiritual order, frequently appearing at pivotal moments in biblical history. Through its recurring presence, the number 70 reminds us of God’s perfect timing and the deeper layers of His plan.

To illustrate the power of this number, Valerie provides nine notable examples of the use of 70 throughout Scripture. From the 70 root nations descended from Noah in Genesis 10, to the 70 disciples sent by Yeshua to heal in Luke 10:1, and even the 70 times of forgiveness referenced in Matthew 18:22, we see how 70 is woven into the fabric of biblical history. Each instance reflects God’s design for wisdom, completeness, and redemption, underscoring the beauty of His order and purpose in our lives.
