It's Time For 5580!
It’s Time for 5580!
I had been doing some moonlighting for a food delivery service. While delivering food on a Thursday night, something happened to me that has never happened before. While on my deliveries, I had an order for the same house twice. This wasn’t a matter of the customer forgetting to order something and adding it on as an afterthought from the same restaurant. This was an entirely new order from a different restaurant that came a little later in the evening - from the same home I had delivered to earlier. This had never happened to me in almost 700 deliveries. It’s very rare. I made note of the house number - 5580.
When I considered the house number of the home I made the double delivery to, 5580, I knew that, biblically, the number 5 was symbolic of grace - I felt there was double grace, and, as I leaned in, Father reminded me of something that happened the previous day.
Double Grace at the Main Gate
Mom and I decided the day before my double delivery to go to the Eastern Idaho State Fair together. Neither of us had been to the fair in years. We chose this day to go because admission to the fair was only $5 per person if you brought in canned goods for the food bank and neither of us had much money. There was provision made through a friend for parking close to the main gate.
Mom and I made our way to the Main Gate and were just about to the ticket booth when I got a tap on my shoulder. A man behind us told us he was paying for both of us to get in the fair. He was not someone we knew. The cost was $5 per person = 55. Provision was made for us to enter through the Main Gate; Double Grace.

Generational Grace
When I looked at the house number 5580, I sensed that I needed to see it as two sets of numbers, find the meaning, and then connect the message of each. I had an understanding of what 55 represented. When I looked at the number 80 I saw two 40’s to make up the sum of 80. Forty years is a biblical generation and this number, 80, felt generational to me.
Once again, I was reminded of how provision was made for Mom and me to enter the Main Gate. Then I understood - Mom and I represented two generations; a mother and daughter - generational access granted.
It had a full circle feel to it; bookends of the story the Master Storyteller was weaving.

Let Go! And Transition! 7 to 8!
I felt Father’s confirmation on the number 80 being generational. But, I thought there was more to it. I was doing the usual search of scripture verses and Strong’s numbers. Then I went to Google and one particular statement leaped out at me.
Moses was 80 years old when he appeared before Pharaoh.
After spending 40 years on the backside of the desert, Moses receives a new mandate through a burning bush encounter that will transition him out of the desert with a message for Pharaoh from I AM - “Let My People Go!” - that will then begin the invitation by Father given to an entire nation to leave behind their bondage and transition with Him - and be transformed - with every step of their pilgrimage home.

Caleb
The generational theme continued as Father started to speak to me about Caleb as the one who is going to finish something very important for the nation.
Israel journeys to the borders of the land of promise and Moses sends the 12 spies to scope it out. We know what happens. Ten of the men that Moses sent return with a report full of unbelief. Caleb and Joshua believe the promises of Yahweh and are ready to transition. But, the Israelites believe the 10 and fail to transition.
Yahweh commends His servant Caleb. In Num 14:24, God sees Caleb as someone with a servant’s heart who will fully follow Him - he is described by God as having a quality of spirit that is “different”. The Hebrew definition of the word *different* carries the idea of someone who will follow further.

The Gateway of New
Joshua and Caleb are 40 years old when Moses sends them in to spy out the land the first time with the other 10 spies. Joshua and Caleb are the only two of all those 20 years plus who are later allowed to transition into the Promised Land.
Fast forward 45 years. Caleb is now 85 years old and he wants the land he is to receive as his inheritance. He speaks with Joshua about this. He tells Joshua he is just as strong at 85 as he was at 40. And he wants the land occupied by the Nephilim - the sons of Anak - because he knows that, if the Lord is with him, he will be able to drive them out.
Remember the bad report that the 10 spies gave at the first failed transition? The 10 spies made special mention of the sons of Anak who were of great height. It was this group of people that had the 10 spies so intimidated (Num. 13:33). Caleb was there that day and 45 years later it’s THIS land, the land of the sons of Anak, that he wants as his possession!

Hebron
The land Caleb wanted, Kirjath-arba (the city of Arba), had been settled by Nephilim. Caleb wipes away the enemy’s false, intimidating identity and brings the city into its Original Intent identity and renames it Hebron. Hebron means *conjunction, joining*. Caleb transitions well.
Remember that it was said of Caleb that he had a *different* spirit and that one of the definitions of the word different in the Hebrew is to *follow further*.
Caleb isn’t content to just cross into the Promised Land. And he doesn’t want just any old place to settle into. He wants THE PLACE! He’s come to do business with the land of the Nephilim, the intimidation that prevented the first crossing, and begins the process of uprooting them. He strips away the old, demonic, identity from the land and renames the land Hebron.
Caleb was from the tribe of Judah.

David
We know that King Saul pursues David for many years out of insecurity and jealousy. David had the opportunity to kill Saul twice and refused to touch God’s anointed. Saul does not die by David’s hand. Saul and his sons die in battle.
After Saul’s death, David asks the Lord if he should go up to any of the cities of Judah. Yahweh tells him to go up. David asks which city. God’s response - Hebron!
David arrives at Hebron - the city that received its Original Intent identity years ago through Caleb - bringing with him his family and the men who were with him and their families. The men of Judah came to David there and anointed him King over the house of Judah.
David reigned over Judah for 7 years - 7…the number of completion and perfection. And, in Father’s fullness of time moment, David was able to transition into the place he was anointed for many years prior - King over the entire nation!
Let’s recap! David asks the Lord if he should go up to any of the cities of Judah and Yahweh tells him yes! David inquires further and Father tells him to go to Hebron. He sends the giant slayer David to the land that Caleb received as his inheritance - the land formerly occupied by giants! It’s at Hebron that David completes a 7 year cycle of leading Judah. In the 8th year, the entire nation gathers to him and recognizes the anointing given by Yahweh through Samuel many years prior and David leads Israel for an additional 33 years for a combined total of 40!

5580 to 5785
I started by sharing about my double delivery to the same address and some of the meaning of 5580 that I have been able to glean. We are in a fullness of time moment where there is double grace and provision to enter through the Main Gate. Some of our code is found in Malachi 4:5,6; a generational locking of arms to enter. The generations must be reconciled as a way forward.
It is a time to be set free, allow the wilderness pilgrimage to refine us to Original Intent, and then bring Original Intent wherever we go. It is time to drive out the fear and intimidation and call things by their True Name.
We just entered the year 5785 on the Hebraic timeline. I’ve looked at that number and noticed the progression of 7 - 8 (perfection/completion to transitioning to the new) encapsulated by 5 (grace) There is grace for us on all sides right now to finish our last season well and step into the new.
Zechariah 4:7
“Who are you, O great mountain? Before Zerubbabel you shall become a plain. And he shall bring forward the capstone amid shouts of ‘Grace! Grace to it!!!’”
