God is Restoring Intimacy's Framework

About a month or two ago, I was talking to a friend. She had been having a rough day, and at the end of our conversation, to show her appreciation for me being around, she texted me " *hug* *hug* *hug* *hug* ," among other things. I thought that it was interesting because I had never had anyone message me with two hugs in the same message in a row before, let alone four. To show I cared for her back, I texted the same thing back to her- " *hug* *hug* *hug* *hug* ." Within two days of this happening, I was watching a Christian conference online. During the time of me watching the conference, which happened to have a chatbox next to the video player, someone else watching the conference typed into the chatbox " *hug* *hug* *hug* *hug* ," because he/she was enjoying the conference and was feeling lovey-dovey or whatever. Because I knew this occurence had little chance of being random happenstance, I set out to find out what it might mean. This is what I found out:

The number 4 in the Bible is a sign of boundaries/order/a framework- 4 rings to be able to properly carry several of the tabernacle items (Exodus 25:26), the 4 corners of the globe (Revelation 20:8), the 4 winds held by the 4 angels who were standing at the 4 corners of the earth (Revelation 7:1).

Hugging, of course, is a sign of intimacy, of closeness.

I prayed and asked God about the matter, and I felt that he said he is now restoring intimacy's framework. People have lost what it means to have proper relationships- the institution of marriage seems to be in shambles, men and women don't realize they can be just friends, and there aren't many good examples out there for people to go off of to be able to base their own relationships off of. God's word for now is that he is restoring the framework of what intimacy is supposed to be. He is going to raise up examples of what real intimacy is supposed to look like. In doing so, people will at least have a choice on whether they want to follow God's model or not. Currently, there is a lot of haziness concerning what intimacy really is. God is clearing that up.

I also felt like God may have said that we will need to pray that this move of God be protected, because Satan is going to try to stop it/weaken it. As well, it is worth noting that God's main desire is to be intimate with mankind (relationship-wise, not sexually), and so the level of intimacy we attain and model on earth is a direct reflection and message to everyone else of the kind of intimacy that is characteristic of God. People fail to obtain part of the insight about who God is if they don't see the love of God manifested in the form of real intimacy between people in relationships.

And so that is the message I got. I wanted to honor it being given to me, so I am passing it on to other people.
