2. 5774 ע– Ayin = 70ד–Dalet = 4 The Year of Looking Through the Eternal Door of Glory www.charisacademy.org

3. At sundown on Wednesday, September 4, 2013, the children of Israel will recognize the beginning of their new year 5774. This is the day know as Rosh Hashanah, the head of the year. They recognize this as the anniversary of the first day of creation. It is celebrated throughout all the land with the blowing of the shofar which symbolizes the breath of Yahweh in the creation event. www.charisacademy.org

4. For centuries, Hebrew sages and scholars have looked to the Torah to determine how it relates to the seasons they were exiting and entering. They recognized that the wisdom contained within the sacred text could direct them if they only applied it properly. Each season we traverse through corresponds to a ten year cycle within the Hebrew calendar. Within a cycle, a unique facet is emphasized each year. Collectively, these facets make up the context for the entire season. www.charisacademy.org

5. This year the letters we focus upon are Ayin and Dalet. www.charisacademy.org Each facet is represented by the meaning of the Hebrew letter which corresponds to the numeric value of the year. This feature is available to any person who considers what the original Hebrew language has to say on the matter. This is not divination or numerology by any stretch of the imagination. It is a process involving looking at the numeric value of the year, its corresponding Hebrew letters, and how and where the words they represent appear in scripture.

6. Numerical Values… Each of the 22 Hebrew letters has an assigned numerical value. These values can give us an actual word or just the letter pattern. 74 = Ayin + Dalet 1 = Aleph 2 = Bet 3 = Gimmel 4 = Dalet 5 = Hay 6 = Vav 7 = Zayin 8 = Chet 9 = Tet 10 = Yod 20 = Kaf 30 = Lamed 40 = Mem 50 = Nun 60 = Samech 70 = Ayin 80 = Pey 90 = Tsadee 100 = Kof 200 = Resh 300 = Shin 400 = Tav www.charisacademy.org

7. Leading up to this year… 5771 – Aleph = Father 5772 – Beit = Son 5773 – Gimmel = Holy Spirit 5774 – Dalet = This is the year focused upon man www.charisacademy.org

9. Dalet – a door • H1802 – dalah- A primitive root (compare H1809); properly to dangle, that is, to let down a bucket (for drawing out water); figuratively to deliver: - draw (out), X enough, lift up. • H1809 – dalal-A primitive root (compare H1802); to slacken or be feeble; figuratively to be oppressed: - bring low, dry up, be emptied, be not equal, fail, be impoverished, be made thin.

10. The door to glory… Outer Court Blood - dâ m Inner Court Wheat - dâ ga ̂n Supper - deipnon Holy of holies Glory – Doxa Power - Dunamis Door - Dalet www.charisacademy.org

11. Dalet as a door… Doors are places of transition at pivotal moments in our lives.  They require us to discern what can't be seen in order to make a decision.  Often we know what is behind a door and chose to go through in advance.  At pivotal moments in our lives we are confronted with doors that do not look like doors but become apparent much later on.    This year requires us look at what the decision to go through a door will create in our lives.  In a word, this is a year of discernment. In the Hebrew words we see much dealing with Israel’s failure to go through, or pass over, by following the word of The Lord to enter their promised land.  Their hard-heartedness and disbelief forced an entire generation to miss what God intended for them.  God’s way led them to experience a weakening of their prideful nature through 40 years of journeying around the border of their promise, able to see but never able to possess. www.charisacademy.org

12. 11 marks of 5773… Ge = proud Geeh = proud Geah = pride Gaavah = haughtiness, pride, swelling Gaown = arrogancy, majesty, pomp, pride Geuth = lifting up, majesty, proud, raging Gaayown= proud Gabahh = exalt, haughty, be proud Gobahh = high, proud Gaboahh = haughty, lofty, proud, exceeding proudly Gevah= lifting up, pride The first and last word of the Gimmel year dealt with pride. One way to look at this is that the entire year was dealing with pride! www.charisacademy.org

13. A Picture of Gimmel Zayin Gimmel is formed from a Zayin and a Yod. Zayin means "sword" and Yod means "hand." Here then is a picture of grace: Gimmel approaches the poor man of Dalet, behind the door, with an open hand (the "sword" (of Zayin) is facing the other direction). The Holy Spirit comes, as the Emissary of Jesus, and knocks on the door of the heart. The sword of judgment, however, is sheathed, and this then represents the opportunity to repent and let the Spirit of God into your heart. Yod www.hebrew4christians.com www.charisacademy.org

14. A Unique Year… In classical Hebrew Dalet is constructed of two lines and a corner point (or overhang) called an "ear." The bent shape of the dalet symbolizes a needy person who is bent over (the word Dalet comes from (dalah) which means to draw out or impoverish, and the word (dalut) means poor or impoverished). Dalet's ear is said to be listening for the gemilutchasidimof the approaching Gimmel. Dalet represents lowliness and the consciousness of possessing nothing of one's own. As a doorDalet also symbolically represents the choice to open ourselves to the hope of our dreams or to remain closed off and alienated. www.hebrew4christians.com www.charisacademy.org

(6) And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart: (7) And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up. (8) And thou shalt bind them for a sign upon thine hand, and they shall be as frontlets between thine eyes. (9) And thou shalt write them upon the posts of thy house, and on thy gates.

26. The Greater Witness 1 John 5:6-10 (6)  This is he that came by water and blood, even Jesus Christ; not by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit that bearethwitness, because the Spirit is truth. (7)  For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one. (8)  And there are three that bear witness in earth, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one. (9)  If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater: for this is the witness of God which he hath testified of his Son. (10)  He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: he that believeth not God hath made him a liar; because he believeth not the record that God gave of his Son. www.charisacademy.org

(16)  So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth. (17)  Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked: (18)  I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thineeyes with eyesalve, that thou mayestsee. (19)  As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent. (20)  Behold,I stand at the door,and knock: if any manhear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me. (21)  To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne.

32. Now a time to open a door into the new year with the declaration of your mouth. www.charisacademy.org

33. Declarations of 5774 This is the year that I no longer allow the specter of doubt and unbelief to keep me from entering my promise. I am well able to discern what doorsto pass through to fulfill my destiny. No longer will I stand on the threshold of my destiny and desecrate the blood of my covenant with the Father. I do not accept that the enemy called death can pass through before me since the blood of Christ has purchased the path I am on.  My path was prepared by a love that passes all my understanding in its depth, breadth, height and length.  www.charisacademy.org

34. Declarations of 5774 This is a year I commit to the violent giving of kind deeds which keeps the enemy in remembrance of his true position. My offerings will be cast abroad and return in innumerable ways through my generous heart. Others will marvel at the abundance which will overwhelm and overtake me. www.charisacademy.org

35. Declarations of 5774 This is a year where my words take on flesh. I will see what the Father is doing and command it to be so on earth. I will bring new life to dead things simply by speaking the right word at the right moment. In these matters I will be following the way of the Lord where all things are possible because I believe in the nature of His word to complete what it is sent to do. www.charisacademy.org

36. Declarations of 5774 This is the year I exchange my feeble attempts to worship the Father in my strength and align with the heavenly host who has been worshipping for all eternity. I will pattern my praise and worship not as the world has, but as David did in his tabernacle, and I will see the glory and power of the Father work on my behalf. www.charisacademy.org

37. Declarations of 5774 I am not of the previous generation that failed to enter the rest promised by the Father. I submit myself to the ways of God knowing that He cares for me. I am attentive to hear the voice that is knocking on the door to my heart. As I humble and empty myself according to the ways of God, I receive the fullness of His glorious kingdom. www.charisacademy.org

38. Declarations of 5774 This is the year where what I have gone through in the Lord will be taught to those who are earnestly seeking the truth. As I cling to the Lord and steadfastly seek Him, I become a witness of His goodness to those who cross my path. I am a standard of the righteous nature which grants access to the throne of God. I freely give into my community the gifts that the Father continues to place in my charge. www.charisacademy.org

39. Declarations of 5774 This is the year that I come out of the complacency of captivity, of slaving for the pleasure and fulfillment of a kingdom I’ve been dragged into. The work of my hands, which others took pride in, are my weapons of deliverance. Blood has redeemed them, secured their purpose, and now decrees that everything I touch is Kingdom property. Now is my time to seize the treasurein a foreign land. I demandthe return of what is already mine. www.charisacademy.org
