Welcome to Day 21 of our journey of repentance and unity as we prepare for the King’s return!
Each day we count backward through the Hebrew alphabet, chiseling away pride, fear, and division. Today we arrive at Bet (ב), the second letter, the beginning of God’s Word, and a reminder that He desires to dwell with us in unity.

What is Bet?
Beginning of God’s Word: The Hebrew Bible begins with the letter Bet — Bereshith (“In the beginning…”). God chose to start His Word with Bet, the letter of the house, reminding us His plan from the start was to build a dwelling with His people.
A House (Bayit): Bet means “house” or “dwelling place.” Just as a house has walls and structure, God is forming us as living stones into His holy temple (1 Peter 2:5).
Unity in a Home: A house is not just wood and stone. It is people united together. Bet teaches us that unity is not optional — it is the very foundation of being God’s dwelling place.
The Number Two: Bet’s value is two, symbolizing relationship, connection, and covenant. We are not called to stand alone but to be joined as one Body.
Bet and Unity
Bet calls us to prepare ourselves as God’s temple. In this season of Elul, just before the Feast of Trumpets, we are not just reflecting — we are rebuilding. We are sweeping the floors of our hearts, repairing the cracks of bitterness, and inviting the Spirit to fill every room.
Just as fire once fell on the tabernacle and the temple, we now prepare ourselves for God’s Spirit to dwell in us and among us. The countdown of 22 letters is not random — it is a journey of return, like the prodigal son walking back home. Bet reminds us: the Father is waiting at the door, ready to fill His house with glory.
Why Bet for Repentance and Redemption?
Repentance cleans the house: We cannot expect God’s fire if our house is divided or defiled. Repentance clears out idols, grudges, and pride.
Redemption makes us His dwelling: Through Christ, God doesn’t just visit His people — He inhabits them.
Unity builds the house: One stone alone cannot be a temple. Together we become His house, His Bet, His holy dwelling.
Our Day 21 Challenge: Prepare the House
Reflect: Is my “house” ready for the Spirit of God? What clutter must be removed?
Repent: Ask forgiveness for ways you’ve allowed division or impurity into your heart.
Reconcile: Strengthen the bonds in your spiritual family — reach out, forgive, and restore.
Our Prayer
Lord, You began Your Word with Bet, the house. Make us Your dwelling place. Sweep away division, cleanse our hearts, and prepare us to receive Your fire. Unite us as one house, one Body, one temple filled with Your Spirit. Let our unity be the home where Your presence dwells. Amen.
