Prophetic Word – Your Table is Ready

This prophetic word is titled Your Table is Ready.  I’ve posted on this very topic before but I must say that the Lord gave a huge revelation and insight into this that I know I needed to share with you.

Also, if 4,000 people read this, you’ll have 4,000 different revelation because this is going to be so deliciously personalized for each of you.  This is a good one!!!

Who is this word for?  Everyone.  Well, all of you need to read it to get the understanding because you may very well miss when God has done this in your life if you don’t know how it will manifest in the natural.  Will it happen for all of you?  That depends on if you apply yourself to being obedient to the Lord.  And, signing up for the fast in January will be a step to getting you there <<<shameless plug.

Here is the scripture…

Psalm 23:5

You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.

Yeah, yeah, I know you read it a million times.  Probably had a gazillion sermons on this scripture but I am about to give you more revelation on it that will make you wanna dance.

Let’s break it down.

PREPARE: Strong’s Hebrew 6186 – Arak

To arrange, set in order, prepare, compare, value, to set in a, row, arrange, put in order

Usage: The Hebrew verb “arak” primarily means to arrange or set in order. It is used in various contexts, including the preparation of items, the arrangement of troops for battle, and the setting of a table. The word can also imply the act of comparing or valuing something, indicating a process of evaluation or judgment.

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, the concept of order and arrangement was significant, reflecting the broader biblical theme of God bringing order out of chaos. The act of arranging or setting things in order was not only practical but also symbolic of divine order and purpose. In the context of worship, for example, the careful arrangement of offerings and the setting of the table for the showbread in the Tabernacle were acts of reverence and obedience to God’s commands.

TABLE: Strong’s Hebrew 7979 – Shulchan

A Table, a meal

Usage: The Hebrew word “shulchan” primarily refers to a table, often used for eating, displaying items, or conducting business. In the biblical context, it can denote both ordinary household tables and sacred tables used in religious rituals, such as the Table of Showbread in the Tabernacle and Temple.

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Near Eastern culture, the table was a central piece of furniture in both domestic and religious settings. It symbolized fellowship, hospitality, and provision. The Table of Showbread in the Tabernacle, for instance, held twelve loaves representing the twelve tribes of Israel, signifying God’s continual provision and presence among His people. Tables were also places of negotiation and covenant-making, reflecting their role in social and communal life.

Psalm 23:5

IN THE PRESENCE: Strong’s Hebrew 5048 – Neged

Usage: The Hebrew word “neged” is primarily used as a preposition to denote spatial or relational positioning. It conveys the idea of being “in front of” or “opposite” something or someone. It can also imply being “against” or “in the presence of.” The term is often used to describe physical positioning, but it can also have metaphorical implications, such as being in opposition or contrast.

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, spatial relationships were significant in both physical and metaphorical contexts. The concept of being “before” or “in front of” someone could imply respect, confrontation, or presence. The use of “neged” in the Hebrew Bible reflects the importance of positioning in social, religious, and military contexts. For example, standing “before” the Lord or “in the presence of” others often carried connotations of accountability or witness.

MY ENEMIES: Strong’s Hebrew 6887 – Tsarar

To bind, to be narrow, to be in distress, to be in trouble, to be an adversary, to cramp

Usage: The Hebrew verb “tsarar” primarily conveys the idea of binding or constricting, often used metaphorically to describe situations of distress, trouble, or adversity. It can refer to physical binding or to emotional and spiritual states of being pressed or constrained. The term is frequently used in contexts where individuals or groups face opposition or hardship, whether from enemies, circumstances, or divine judgment.

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, the concept of being “bound” or “in distress” was not only a physical reality but also a spiritual and communal experience. The Israelites often faced external threats from surrounding nations, and the language of “tsarar” captures the tension and pressure of such adversities. Additionally, the term reflects the covenantal relationship between God and Israel, where disobedience could lead to divine chastisement, described as being in a state of distress.

Psalm 23:5

You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.

The term is used both literally, in reference to physical fatness, and metaphorically, to describe spiritual or material enrichment.

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, fatness was often seen as a sign of prosperity and divine blessing. The agricultural society valued abundance in crops and livestock, and physical fatness was a visible indicator of wealth and well-being.

HEAD: Strong’s Hebrew 7218 – Rosh

Usage: The Hebrew word “rosh” primarily denotes the “head” of a person or animal, but it extends metaphorically to signify the “chief” or “leader” of a group, the “top” or “summit” of a mountain, and the “beginning” or “first” of a series. It is a versatile term used to convey both physical and metaphorical prominence or primacy.

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Near Eastern cultures, the concept of “head” (rosh) was often associated with leadership and authority. The head was considered the seat of intellect and decision-making, and thus, “rosh” came to symbolize leadership and hierarchy. In Israelite society, the “head” of a tribe or family held significant authority and responsibility, reflecting the patriarchal structure of the time.

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, olive oil was a valuable commodity, essential for daily life and religious practices. It was used in offerings and as a base for anointing oils and perfumes. Olive oil production was a significant agricultural activity, and its abundance was often seen as a sign of God’s blessing. The process of extracting oil from olives involved crushing and pressing, which is metaphorically significant in biblical texts.

CUP: Strong’s Hebrew 3563 – Kowc

It is often used metaphorically in the Bible to represent one’s portion or lot in life, whether of blessing or judgment. The cup can symbolize abundance and blessing, as in the overflowing cup of Psalm 23:5, or it can represent suffering and divine wrath, as seen in passages like Isaiah 51:17.

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Near Eastern culture, the cup was a common household item used for drinking. It was also a significant symbol in religious and social contexts. Sharing a cup could signify fellowship and covenant, while the act of drinking from a cup could represent acceptance of one’s fate or divine will. In biblical times, the imagery of a cup was often used in prophetic literature to convey messages of judgment or blessing from God.

OVERFLOWS: Strong’s Hebrew 7310 – Revayah

Overflow, abundance, saturation, Satisfaction

Usage: The Hebrew word “revayah” conveys the idea of an overflowing abundance or saturation. It is often used in a metaphorical sense to describe a state of being filled to the point of overflowing, particularly with blessings, joy, or prosperity. This term emphasizes the completeness and sufficiency provided by God.

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, the concept of abundance was closely tied to agricultural prosperity and divine blessing. A land flowing with milk and honey, abundant harvests, and overflowing wine vats were seen as signs of God’s favor. The imagery of overflowing abundance would resonate deeply with an agrarian society that depended on the land’s yield for survival and well-being.

Psalm 23:5

You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.

Oooh Glory!!!

What I realized after studying this out is that this is a perpetual scripture, at various points in life it will mean a completely different thing.  What you’ve been anointed to lead, who the enemy is, what’s in your cup and how your abundance manifests is going to change from season to season.  Oh Glory! That means this is a scripture that will keep on giving, season after season, month after month.

What new revelation did you get from reading this? Write it in the comments.  Then pray and ask God to show you, based on what you now know, how is this going to be manifested in your life now because this is a now word.  I am sure God is going to give you a new perspective on this and show you how to identify when it happens in each season.

Now that you know what this means for you, the prophetic word is simply this, Your Table is Ready.

Blessings!
