20–The Numer Of Expectancy

Recently, we received a text asking the biblical significance of the number 20.  I’d remembered that E.W.Bullinger, in his book,  Number in Scripture, said that twenty was the number of expectancy.  I was on the phone with Melissa at the time I was searching out Bullinger’s book.  I read aloud to her his comments on the number 20, mentioning Samson and Jacob as I did above.  She said, “That’s interesting.  It was 20 years ago I received that prophecy through Kim Clement about being promoted three times to a place of purpose.”  That jolted me, because just three days earlier, I too had remembered that prophecy and had asked the Lord where Melissa was in the process of that prophetic promise.  I had no idea it had been 20 years, suddenly expectation stirred in me.  God had answered my question.   The reason we had not yet seen her prophecy come to pass was because it involved a twenty year process to get to an expected end.
