The Word of God says to let every thing be established in the mouths of two or three witnesses. Have you ever noticed that any and all important pointers in Scripture are echoed more than once and often at least THREE times! In other words, The Lord TAKES/FOLLOWS HIS OWN ADVICE! It’s like He is ‘triangulating’ coordinates to plant specific spiritual seeds, to produce a specific physical result, at a specific location, and at a specific time.
Similarly, have you ever noticed that bad news often comes in 'two’s or three’s'? Again, satan can only mimic and invert what he has seen and sees The Lord doing, but in the reverse direction and for the inverse effect(s).
As The Lord established the principle of assured reliance on three coordinates, have you ever notice how important 'three' is in'life:
--Past, present and future
--Good (and bad?) things often come in 3s
--The Holy Trinity
--Triangulation is critical to achieving clear focus and targeting
--Triage (which has its French origins in “three”)
--Jesus said “…that in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established.”
--Physical space is 3 dimensional, so locational coordinates for physically locating things and places are also in THREES (3s):
--Time locations (e.g., birthdays and dates) in general are expressed in 3 parts (M/D/Y)
--Geographical locations are expressed as longitude, latitude and altitude (or depth)
Spiritual 'coordinates' are also in 3s:
--Scriptures quoted in book, chapter and verse
--Events occur in Heaven, across the heavens, and/or on Earth
--Key players are The Trinity, holy angels and fallen angels
Yet, there is neither time nor distance (physical coordinates) in the world of spirit. There, the past, present and future are collapsed into the NOW, the ALWAYS IS, or the ETERNAL.
'Whatever happens in the physical world has its spiritual coordinates...
Everything man is, does, handles, projects, and interacts with
is interpenetrated with the spiritual.'
Steyne, Philip M., Gods of Power. p. 39, 1989
