Three represents fullness, just like the Father Son & Spirit represent the Godhead. (Col. 2:9)  So three is the number that represents fullness.  When the spies had stayed on the mountain for three days they were then able to leave the mountain to go give the good report to Joshua.  For us, it is not enough to stay just for a time.  It must be the amount of time necessary to thwart the enemy's tactics.   If the spies had left any sooner they would not have been able to give the good report to Joshua.  In turn, the land would not have been taken in the right season.  There is a release that happens after a "fullness of time" has been fulfilled. When Christ came to earth it was "the" fullness of time.  For us there are seasons of certain fullness and timing that is necessary for certain promises to be released in our lives.


Galatians 4:4

"But when the fullness of the time had come, God sent forth His Son, born of a woman, born under the law."

Hebrews 6:12

Due to the patience and the ability to wait, the two spies were able to return with a good report. Joshua was in agreement and the rest is history.  But these two spies played a huge role because they saw the land and promise with heavenly vision, with God's eyes or the eyes of faith.   Their report of faith and victory was vital to Joshua in making his decision to take the land. 

Hebrews 11:6

We are now  in a season when many promised lands have been surveyed.  God's agents/spies have gone in and have returned with a good report.  But this report is only as good as our ability to be hidden from the enemy and to keep focus.  So now, just as then, it is very important to be hidden on the mountain of God.  There are some very specific purposes; plans and promises that God desires to bring forth through us. Being hidden in God, our Mountain of Refuge,  we cannot be found by the enemy.  Our key is found in His dwelling place living in simple obedience to Him.

Joshua 6:15-17

But it came to pass on the seventh day that they rose early, about the dawning of the day, and marched around the city seven times in the same manner. On that day only they marched around the city seven times.  And the seventh time it happened, when the priests blew the trumpets, that Joshua said to the people: "Shout, for the LORD has given you the city!

Once the fullness of this season on the mountain has ended there will be a window of release, engagement and securing victory. This year is a year of multiplied victories on every front.  But this word is not a word of non-aggression.  We are to be aggressive in taking the land with the strategies that the Lord gives us.  However we must remember that the steps we take are only going to be as effective as our time spent with Him on His Mountain.  We will deal the enemy heavy blows and take the land engaging him at his blind side rising out of the secret place with faith, boldness and anointing.  The devil does have a blind side!  Only God sees it all! In the OT we continually see examples of God stiking fear in the enemy's camp.  We are able to blind side the enemy aligning ourselves with the Lord in the heavenly places.  Being found in His glory we can release His power and light bringing confusion to the enemy.

Isaiah 57:13

"But he who puts his trust in Me shall possess the land,
And shall inherit My holy mountain."
