Question: Sir, this question may maybe the most unusual question that you have ever been asked. My question is, is there any spiritual application that you can apply to a deck of cards?
Answer: If I was to apply an spiritual application, I would apply it in this manner.
The KING represents Jesus Christ the Messiah, the promised Savior who came to die as the COMPLETE PAYMENT for all mankind’s sins.
Isaiah. 7:14, 9:6, Matthew 20:28, Mark 10:45, 1st Timothy 2:6
The QUEEN represents Mary, Who God chose to give birth to Christ. Isaiah 7:14, Matt.1:23
The JACK represents SATAN, he convinced one third of all the angels (now demons)that God had created to rebelled against God. Satan and his demons seek who they may deceive and destroy.
Ezekiel 28:13-15, 2nd Peter 3:9, Rev 12:3 – 4
The TEN represents the ten commandments in which God wrote on two stone tablets to show that man was unable to keep perfectly without one fault as God required and is in need of a savior.
Exodus. 20: 1-17, Galatians.. 3:24, James 2:10,11
The NINE represents the Nine lepers that did not thank the Lord for being healed… Luke 17:11-18.
The EIGHT represents Noah, his wife, their 3 sons and their wives who believed (placed their trust in) God and were saved in the Ark from the flood… Genesis. 6:5 – 22
The SEVEN represents that God had rested on the seventh day after his six days of restorative work of the earth. God commands man to the same… Exodus. 20:9-11, Mark 2:27.
The SIX represents God’s restoration of the earth in order to be inhabited by mankind. The restoration of the earth was needed because of Lucifer’s and the angels that followed him in rebellion, God judged Satan and those angels and made the earth uninhabitable.
Gen. 1:2-31, Isa. 45:18, Jer. 4:23. Eze. 28:13 – 15, Isa. 14: 12 – 14,
2 Peter 2:4
The FIVE represents the Five Wise and the Five Foolish virgins. The Five Wise virgins had received the Holy Spirit (oil) by faith which gave them entrance to kingdom. The Five Foolish virgins did not have the Holy Spirit, therefore were allowed not to enter… Matt. 25:1-12.
The FOUR represents the four gospels… Matt., Mark, Luke, & John
The THREE represents the Trinity, God, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit… 1st John 5:7
The TWO represents the Old and New Testaments, in which God used man as the pen to write his Holy Word, known as the Bible… 2 Peter 1:20,21 1st John 5:13, Revelation 22:18,19
The ACE represents that there is ONLY one God… Deut. 4:39, Isa 45:5,6 1st Kings 8:60
IN CONCLUSION…
As we can see, The Start of the Deck begins WITH CHRIST andends WITH GOD. The ALPHA (Beginning) and the OMEGA (Ending) – Revelation 21:6.In contrast there is not one thing that God has overlooked, not seen,or forgotten about, he was before the creation of our world and universe in which we exist on – Genesis 1:1 and will continue forever – wards.
The spiritual application of the Deck of Cards brings our attention onto the fact that God is THE SAVIOUR (King) and THE FATHER (Ace) of all things.
The Deck of Cards POINTS OUT a few other individuals to our attention, THE QUEEN is Mary who God chose to provide a physical body for Jesus Christ in order to die as the complete payment for ALL OF MANKIND’S sins, without it Christ could not die for HE IS GOD (John 1:1, 14). THE JACK which is Satan, There is Battle between God and Satan for the souls of mankind, and depending on which card you choose or don’t choose (The King or The Jack) will determine your eternal destiny. CHOOSE WISELY for it determines your destiny for eternity.
The MOST IMPORTANT thing to know IS Jesus Christ as YOUR savior, just simply believe that Jesus Christ went to the cross and DIED and shed his blood, was BURIED and three days later RESURRECTED from the dead to pay for your sins… See 1 Corinthians. 15:1-4, Acts 16:31.
The moment that you do, YOU HAVE (at that second and forever)Everlasting Life which WILL NEVER be taken away no matter what… John 10:28-29 (28) And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any app pluck them out of my hand. (29) My Father, which gave and me, is greater than all; and no web is able to pluck the out of my Father’s hand.
-Christ DIED for you – Romans 5:8
-Christ PAID your sins in full – Mark 10:45,1 Peter 2:24
-BELIEVE (to Trust In Completely) in Christ ALONE as the complete payment of sin for salvation.
John 3:16, Acts 16:31, Eph. 2:8,9
“For the wages(payment) of sin is death (eternal torment in hell); but the GIFT(salvation) of God is eternal life THROUGH Jesus Christ our Lord”. Romans 6:23
IT IS THAT SIMPLE – THE GOSPEL TRUTH
