1. COLORS
I see a battle for our nation. Both the Patriots and the Giants wear variations of RED, WHITE, and BLUE uniforms. I also see a political significance in this presidential election year.
2. BATTLE: PATRIOTS vs. GIANTS
Patriot: 1. a person who loves, supports, and defends his or her country and its interests with devotion. 2. a person who regards himself or herself as a defender, especially of individual rights, against presumed interference by the federal government.
The Israelite “patriots” took their land of promise through battle against the GIANTS in the land! By defeating the giants, those patriots won their NATION’S inheritance!
David took out Goliath with a stone and cut off the GIANT’S head — a victory for the NATION. A giant victory for this Israelite patriot, a man after God’s own heart.
The USA has giants that need to be defeated by those who love our country. We need the army of God to arise in prayer! Our victory will be determined by whether or not we are men after God’s own heart. LORD, make us so!
3. REMATCH
This 2012 Super Bowl between the Patriots and the Giants is a rematch of Super Bowl XLII. FOUR YEARS AGO, THE GIANTS WON. So in election year 2008, the Patriots lost to the Giants. Obama (giant government) won the election that year…the underdog Giants upset the undefeated Patriots. Likewise, Obama came out of nowhere to win the election.
This 2012 Super Bowl has the same quarterbacks and same coaches, on both teams, as in 2008. And the same political and spiritual/moral battle is being fought again in our nation.
Sadly in July the Patriots’ owner, Robert Kraft, lost his wife to cancer. The players are each wearing a patch with Myra’s initials. Myra means fragrant, as coming from myrrh. It’s like the Patriots have anointed themselves with myrrh by wearing the patch. Myrrh = bitter, Biblically: used as incense on the Golden Altar (altar of incense and prayer to Yehovah, located in the Tabernacle Holy Place); used as medicine (related to Balm of Gilead); a spice used in embalming; Magi gift to infant Jesus (the great Intercessor and Healer), and used for PURIFICATION of the bride, Esther :12. The picture we are to see is a fragrance to the LORD, even of the Bride, through PURIFICATION.
Sports commentators call the Giants “late-bloomers” this season. Current political polls show a closer race than expected against Barack Obama.
4. LOCATION
This year’s Super Bowl will be held at Lucas Oil Stadium, in Indianapolis. When I see the word, OIL, I think of the anointing.
Lucas means arising to Him. I personally see the significance of the stadium name, Lucas Oil, as anointing, arising to God. The imagery of an altar fire reminds us of myrrh and the Golden Altar.
The word “altar” literally means the place of slaughter or sacrifice. (I have nothing against the Giants football team, but if this is a prophetic picture of the battle for our nation, then I sure hope the Super Bowl sees the giants in our land slaughtered!)
5. DATE: FEBRUARY 5, 2012
The date is significant also. 5 is the number of grace. 12 is the number of G-d’s government (02/5/2012 = 2+5+2+1+2=12) February means PURIFICATION. Remember, myrrh was used for purification of the bride. Esther 2:12 It would be His grace and would purify us, too, to have G-d’s government.
6. SUPER BOWL 46
The number ten (4+6=10) marks the culmination of what came before it and a new beginning. This marks the end of one season and the beginning of another. I confess that I would like to see the Patriots win, as an encouraging sign for the coming elections and for God’s government to be established in the White House.
Will our next season be better, or worse?
The last time the Giants and Patriots met was Super Bowl 42. 4+2=6. Six is the number of man. I WANT OUR NEXT SEASON TO BE GOD’S GOVERNMENT!
PRAY! It has been TEN years since the terror attacks of 9/11/2001. Are we entering a new season? Many consider 9/11 to have been America’s wake-up call; that the judgment of God was on our doorstep. It was the loud, shaking call to REPENT. Have we?
Prophetic voices continue to warn of judgment coming to the USA. Repentance from our wicked ways is in no way complete. In the past, I have heard Yehovah say: Judgment must still come. Even so, I believe that our nation’s REPENTANCE can lessen the judgment.
And if that nation, concerning which I have spoken, turns from its evil, I will relent of the disaster that I intended to do to it. Jeremiah 18:8 ESV
So are we about to face more widespread and greater judgment? Or are the prayers of the remnant being heard and answered? It may be both.
As painful as judgment is, it could very well be the answer to our prayers for the nation to return to God. Even in judgment against a nation, God’s people can be blessed, protected and spared; and even increased.
I pray for GODLY LEADERSHIP for our nation. I pray for REVIVAL. I pray MERCY. But no matter what else I pray, I want the WILL OF GOD above all things — His WILL, HIS WAY, HIS TIMING.
I confess that I would like to see the Patriots win, because I would see it as a sign and would be encouraged for the coming elections and for God’s government to be established in the White House and in the Capitol.

Blessing Israel
19 10 2012Please notice the photo. Israel is the part that is green. When you look closer, you can even see the outline of the “West bank” in brown. Most of the surrounding nations are also brown. The only part of Israel that is not green is the Negev desert area (which happens to be the only desert on the planet that is shrinking!).
What is my point?
About 150 years ago, Mark Twain traveled the area and found it almost entirely barren and God-forsaken. He detailed his journey in The Innocents Abroad. Seeing the desolation in 1867, he wrote: Palestine sits in sackcloth and ashes. Over it broods the spell of a curse that has withered its fields and fettered its energies. There is hardly a tree or shrub anywhere. Even the olive and cactus, those fast friends of a worthless soil, have almost deserted the soil.
The Ottoman Turks had taxed every tree growing in the Holy Land as a means of causing the desolation; because the residents would cut down the trees to avoid the tax.
Today, Israel is a miracle nation resurrected as no other in history. It is indeed the “set time” to favor Zion. It is the supernatural blessing of Yehovah, God of Israel. Consider just a few of the hundreds of prophesies and promises fulfilled in our day.
The wilderness and the wasteland shall be glad for them, And the desert shall rejoice and blossom as the rose; It shall blossom abundantly and rejoice, Even with joy and singing. The glory of Lebanon shall be given to it, The excellence of Carmel and Sharon. They shall see the glory of Yehovah, the excellency of our God. Isaiah 35:1-2
Jeremiah 31 Thus says Yehovah: “The people who survived the sword Found grace in the wilderness–Israel, when I went to give him rest.” (verse 2). Behold, I will bring them from the north country, And gather them from the ends of the earth, Among them the blind and the lame, The woman with child And the one who labors with child, together; A great throng shall return there. (verse 8). Therefore they shall come and sing in the height of Zion, Streaming to the goodness of Yehovah–For wheat and new wine and oil, For the young of the flock and the herd; Their souls shall be like a well-watered garden, And they shall sorrow no more at all. (verse 12.) “And it shall come to pass, that as I have watched over them to pluck up, to break down, to throw down, to destroy, and to afflict, so I will watch over them to build and to plant, says Yehovah. (verse 28.) “But this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says Yehovah: I will put My law in their minds, and write it on their hearts; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people. (verse 33).
“I will multiply upon you man and beast; and they shall increase and bear young; I will make you inhabited as in former times, and do better for you than at your beginnings. Then you shall know that I am Yehovah. Ezekiel 36:11
“So they will say, ‘This land that was desolate has become like the garden of Eden; and the wasted, desolate, and ruined cities are now fortified and inhabited.’ “Then the nations which are left all around you shall know that I, Yehovah, have rebuilt the ruined places and planted what was desolate. I, Yehovah, have spoken it, and I will do it.” Ezekiel 36:35-36
PRAY FOR THE PEACE OF JERUSALEM! May they prosper who love you. Psalm 122:6

(As is my custom, I have taken the liberty to change the word “LORD” to Yehovah. Every single time you see LORD or GOD in all capital letters in the Old Testament, the actual Hebrew word is Yehovah. Yet, it occurs 6,828 times in the Hebrew text. His name has been obscured for 2,500 years, but is now being revealed. It is TIME to restore the name of Yehovah!) (for deeper study click here.)
