Side Note: The Seventy. The spiritual significance of the number seventy is constructed around two numbers. Seventy is built on two SPIRITUALLY perfect numbers: the number 7 and the number 10. Through the number seventy we have God’s PERFECT spiritual ORDER and carried out by God’s PERFECT spiritual POWER; therefore, it is ORDER and POWER. Seventy stands for God’s PERFECT ORDER by His PERFECT POWER.
  In Genesis Chapter 10 there are seventy nations formed in their tribes, and tongues and sent out to inhabit the earth. Then in Exodus 24:1, 9 we have the seventy elders of Israel. In Jeremiah 29:10 we have the seventy years of captivity, and in Daniel 9:2 there are the seventy years of desolation. In the New Testament seventy followers of Christ were sent out into the land to preach the kingdom was at hand, Luke 10:1, 17. God the Holy Spirit first disclosed the origin of seventy nations in Genesis Chapter 10 and in the 10th Chapter of the gospel of Luke the Lord Jesus Christ sent out seventy disciples out into the land to proclaim His gospel to Israel that His kingdom was at hand. Those seventy nations that were first formed scattered throughout their known world propagating their own power and order turning away from the Creator who created them and served their own glory.
For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: (Romans 1:20)
Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. (Romans 1:21)
Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, (Romans 1:22)
And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things. (Romans 1:23)
Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves: (Romans 1:24)
Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen. (Romans 1:25)
 What God DETERMINES IS His perfect order and it is accomplished in His perfect power. Chapter 8 of Ezekiel disclose that when man attempts to force his order and his power over the things of God as did the seventy men of the ancients of the house of Israel then God’s wrath and judgment is their just reward.
  The seventy men, or seventy elders began in Exodus 24:1 later became what we would term as The Supreme Court of the Jewish nation, the Sanhedrin. God had instructed Moses to call seventy elders to aid Moses in judicial matters governing the Israelites as they wandered in the wilderness during their thirty-eight years before they entered the land of God’s promise. However, through time and as it always happens that whenever man is charged with any form of responsibility, man ALWAYS changes what God has commanded. During the Lord’s time on earth as Jesus, the Sanhedrin could have varied from 23 to 71 men depending on the political environment. Thus, this judicial agency became part of those who condemned the Lord Jesus to be crucified. Therefore, the seventy men in Ezekiel Chapter 8 represents what the formal agency of Justice did then as they do today. In the dark back rooms of payoffs and bribery the seventy elders (their Justice system) committed tyrannical atrocities and abominable acts of treason. Then said he unto me, Son of man, hast thou seen what the ancients of the house of Israel do in the dark, every man in the chambers of his imagery? for they say, The LORD seeth us not; the LORD hath forsaken the earth.
