REVELATION 19 : MARRIAGE OF THE LAMB

7“Let us rejoice and be glad and give the glory to Him, for the marriage of the Lamb has come and His bride has made herself ready.”

In May my company took us for a team building exercise to play the Escape Game.

It’s a game where a group will go into a room and you have an hour to gather all the clues to unlock the door and break out.  I was dreading going cause I hate these types of things and I was really tired but something told me I needed to go.  That day happened to be one of the peak days of my overwhelm and frustration.

 On my way there I actually pulled off the side of the road and just started crying.  I felt God had put a prompting in my heart but I was overwhelmed with what I thought He was calling me to do.  I was crying out to Him a conversation that went like this: “Is this really what you want me to be doing and why?”  I don’t like to reading or sitting behind a computer.   The more I saw happening around me the heavier my heart got.  My brain felt like it was going to explode with all the research I was doing.   I felt like God was removing the scales from eyes for a purpose but I really wasn’t sure where it was going to lead. 

 I really just wanted some type of confirmation or sign from Him.  Well, He did just that and more.  

I finally drug myself to the game.  

They have 5 different rooms.  

A different game in each room.  

The team I was on got put in a room

that contained a book called “Music City Babylon“

and one of the clues contained a bible verse.

It was in context of the Narrow Gate.

Just a couple of months prior to this work event I had created this site “NarrowGateEntrance” not really knowing what it would lead to.  I really named it that in hopes of figuring out what it truly meant and to figure out if I would be able to enter into it.

He has pulled me out of situations I have gotten into many times, but it was the first time in my life I felt like I was truly one of His.  He was showing me something during a time when I was truly trying to be obedient in my walk, instead of just another time where He was having to pull me out of a disaster.   He was giving me the confirmation that I felt like He had put in my heart.   He was confirming with me that I was taking the right path.   He was confirming to me that I was not losing my mind.   It showed me why I am here, why things that have happened to me the way they did, and why I have been put in the places I have been.   It showed me how everything connects and that when you slow down, and focus more on resting in His presence, you will notice what He is doing in your life.

It might sound strange but that day taught me to how to read bible.

I have pieced more things together in the bible by understanding the context and understanding how detailed God’s word is.

After that day when I read verses that I couldn’t understand, or that seemed to conflict with other passages, but when you look at the surrounding verses, it would remove all doubt of what the verse was implying in context.  

It was His way of showing me how He works.  It showed me that when I focus and think on His word, He will show the story He is weaving in your life.

Seek and you shall find.  Knock and it shall be open.

That weekend I went back to where I was born in Mississippi for a childhood friends wedding.  I was with my parents and we drove by the church we used to go to and I started having all these flashbacks and remember when I told my Dad I wanted to get baptized.  He took me in His car before church and before we got there He pulled off the side of the road and told me the significance of my decision that I was making.  I said I did, and that I wanted to give my life to Christ, but looking back I obviously didn’t fully understand what I was saying or understand the meaning of it.  I just felt in my heart that that’s what I wanted to do. As we kept driving around I continued having all these child hood memories flooding back to me.  Things I hadn’t remembered in 20 years.  

I began to see how God has watched over me ever since my decision as a kid and the story he has weaved in my life.  Even though I failed miserably at following him, turned my back on him, he has always been there watching over me openly accepted me back with open arms.  His love and grace for me made me whole again.

My story of rebellion, divorce, losing a child, broken relationships, being healed, and returning to the father showed me who he truly is and is endless love for us.

These were the words of Moses to the Israelite’s during the Exodus from Egypt and their journey to the Promised Land.  Commanding them to keep the Narrow Path.  The Promised Land for us now is the Restoration of Eden with us and Eternal Life.

The Wooden Board I am holding up now,

that will help guide you down the Narrow Path,

to keep from wandering in the wilderness,

to open the Door is this…

PI : 3.14…endless

Forever

The plot of the movie MISSION IMPOSSIBLE was centered around a bible verse : Job 3:14

 “With kings and counsellers of the earth, which built desolate places for themselves;”

Trying to access eternal life without the blood of the lamb.

They are correct : Their job and mission is impossible.  Everything they have built is desolate.

 I pray by the end of reading this you will understand:

…what “the Marriage of the Lamb” means

…why Jesus had to come and die for our sins!

…how the 12 Tribes, the Law Given to Moses on Sinai,

and what Jesus did for us are all connected

…how every single promise God gave us has come to pass 

and that you will put all of your hope and confidence in Him

…how the United States fits into God’s redemptive story

…how to prepare for what is to come

…what God’s redemptive plan from the beginning was, and how you fit in it

…how to pick up on the patterns He has left us in His word.

…that you will begin to see the story He has woven in your life.

From the lips of the wisest man who God ever created

Ecclesiastes 9 

9The thing that has been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun.

10Is there any thing whereof it may be said, See, this is new? it has been already of old time, which was before us.

 God wants to know He did everything for a specific reason.  

He wants us to know that what to expect by what has happened before.

The Story has already been written.  The table is already set and He is inviting anyone and everyone.

We should always be living in constant preparation, but how much more so as we see the day approaching!

I know it is a lot of information, but I challenge you to read it.  

I pray you will read with an open mind and verify everything I have written.   Test it to see if it lines up with scripture.  Pray and ask Him if these things are true.

In His birth is our significance

In His life is our example

In His cross is our Redemption

In His resurrection is our Hope

REVELATION 12 : THE WOMAN AND THE DRAGON

1And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars: 2And she being with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered.

3And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns on his heads. 4And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born.

5And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up to God, and to his throne. 6And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she has a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and three score days. 

God’s Story of Redemption written in the Heavens.

  The only time this sign will have ever occurred and marks the sign of the “great” tribulation.

9/23/2017     (Shabbat Shuvah)  שבת שובה    “Sabbath of Return”  

“Sabbath of Return” refers to the Shabbat that occurs during the Ten Days of Repentance between Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. Only one Shabbat can occur between these dates. This Shabbat is named after the first word of Hosea 14:2-10 and literally means “Return!”

HOSEA 14 : AN EXHORTATION TO REPENTANCE

2 Return, O Israel, to the Lord your God, For you have fallen because of your sin. 3 Take words with you And return to the Lord. Say to Him: “Forgive all guilt And accept what is good; Instead of bulls we will pay [The offering of] our lips. 4 Assyria shall not save us, No more will we ride on steeds; Nor ever again will we call Our handiwork our god, Since in You alone orphans find pity!” 5 I will heal their affliction, Generously will I take them back in love; For My anger has turned away from them. 6 I will be to Israel like dew; He shall blossom like the lily, He shall strike root like a Lebanon tree. 7 His boughs shall spread out far, His beauty shall be like the olive tree’s, His fragrance like that of Lebanon. 8 They who sit in his shade shall be revived: They shall bring to life new grain, They shall blossom like the vine; His scent shall be like the wine of Lebanon. 9 Ephraim [shall say]: “What more have I to do with idols? When I respond and look to Him, I become like a verdant cypress.” Your fruit is provided by Me. 10 He who is wise will consider these words, He who is prudent will take note of them. For the paths of the Lord are smooth; The righteous can walk on them, While sinners stumble on them.

In the book of Hosea, Hosea charged Israel (Ephraim) with:

Violating basic covenant requirements of faithfulness and kindness,

rejecting knowledge of God and His law.

Becoming self satisfied and proud and had forgotten God’s grace.

Engaging in idolatry.

Trusting in human devices (kings, princes, and foreign covenants) rather than God.

This would describe us today, right down to the last detail.

Hosea is the perfect parallel between God and Israel, and Hosea and his wife.

Both were loving husbands of unfaithful wives.

Like a marriage partner, God is deeply involved in our lives and is pained when we go our own way.  He demands love and loyalty from His own.  We have failed to demonstrate this yet He stands ready to forgive and restore those who turn to Him in repentance.  In buying Gomer’s freedom, Hosea pointed ahead to God’s love perfectly expressed in Christ, who bought the freedom of His bride, the church, with His own life.

ROMANS 13 : CLOTHE YOURSELVES WITH CHRIST

11And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed. 

I first want to show this number and its significance, in regards to math, science, and physics.  

Which by the way, is nothing more than trying to figure out how God does business.

Then I will show its significance in the bible.

The number 17 has wide significance in pure mathematics, as well as in applied sciences, law, music, religion, sports, and other cultural phenomena

“The Egyptians have a legend that the end of Osiris’ (Nimrod) life came on the 17th of a month, on which day it is quite evident to the eye that the period of the full moon is over.”

Now, because of this, the Pythagoreans call this day “the Barrier,” and utterly abominate this number.

Joshua who led the Israelite’s to the Promise Land, by crossing the Jordan River, was from the Tribe of Ephraim.  

   JOSHUA 3 : THE CROSSING OF THE JORDAN

1And Joshua rose early in the morning; and they removed from Shittim, and came to Jordan, he and all the children of Israel, and lodged there before they passed over. 2And it came to pass after 3 days, that the officers went through the host; 3And they commanded the people, saying,

When you see the ark of the covenant of the LORD your God, and the priests the Levites bearing it, then you shall remove from your place, and go after it.

4Yet there shall be a space between you and it, about 2,000 cubits by measure: come not near to it, that you may know the way by which you must go: for you have not passed this way heretofore.

14And it came to pass, when the people removed from their tents, to pass over Jordan, and the priests bearing the ark of the covenant before the people;

15And as they that bore the ark were come to Jordan, and the feet of the priests that bore the ark were dipped in the brim of the water, (for Jordan overflows all his banks all the time of harvest,)16That the waters which came down from above stood and rose up on an heap very far from the city Adam, that is beside Zaretan:

and those that came down toward the sea of the plain, even the salt sea, failed, and were cut off: and the people passed over right against Jericho.

17And the priests that bore the ark of the covenant of the LORD stood firm on dry ground in the middle of Jordan, and all the Israelite’s passed over on dry ground, until all the people were passed clean over Jordan.

  JOSHUA 4 : TWELVE STONES FROM THE JORDAN

4Then Joshua called the twelve men, whom he had prepared of the children of Israel, out of every tribe a man: 5And Joshua said to them, Pass over before the ark of the LORD your God into the middle of Jordan, and take you up every man of you a stone on his shoulder, according to the number of the tribes of the children of Israel:

 

 

6That this may be a sign among you, that when your children ask their fathers in time to come, saying, What mean you by these stones?

7Then you shall answer them, That the waters of Jordan were cut off before the ark of the covenant of the LORD; when it passed over Jordan, the waters of Jordan were cut off: and these stones shall be for a memorial to the children of Israel for ever.

They placed 12 stones in the Jordan as a sign that the waters were cut off before the Ark of the Covenant.

12 stones will be crowned above the woman (Ephraim) on 9/23/17

Revelation 12 : The Dragon Persecutes the Woman

13And when the dragon saw that he was cast down to the earth, he persecuted the woman that brought forth the man child . 14And there were given to the woman the two wings of the great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness unto her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent.

15And the serpent cast out of his mouth after the woman water as a river, that he might cause her to be carried away by the stream.16And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened her mouth and swallowed up the river which the dragon cast out of his mouth.

17And the dragon waxed wroth with the woman, and went away to make war with the rest of her seed, that keep the commandments of God, and hold the testimony of Jesus:

Zarthan or Zaretan = “their distress” (tribulation)

Jordan = “descender”

GENESIS 6 : THE WICKEDNESS OF MAN

1And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the ground, and daughters were born unto them, 2that the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all that they chose. 3And Jehovah said, My spirit shall not strive with man for ever, for that he also is flesh: yet shall his days be a hundred and twenty years. 4The Nephilim were in the earth in those days, and also after that, when the sons of God came unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them: the same were the mighty men that were of old, the men of renown.

17 Jesus replied, “Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah! For this was not revealed to you by flesh and blood, but by My Father in heaven.

18And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church, and the gates of Hades will not prevail against it. 19I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven. Whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.”

The rock or stone, on who Jesus chose as to build his church upon at Caesarea, also said that the gates of hell would not prevail against it.

28 Come to Me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. 29 Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me; for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.”  

 

Ephraim was born in Egypt and he was accustomed to being in bondage, or slavery to paganism and idolatry.  

That is why often times in scripture, we see that Ephraim is likened unto a bull, OX or a heifer who is under a heavy yoke of bondage.

1Now of the things which we have spoken this is the sum: We have such an high priest, who is set on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens; 2A minister of the sanctuary, and of the true tabernacle, which the Lord pitched, and not man. 3For every high priest is ordained to offer gifts and sacrifices: why it is of necessity that this man have somewhat also to offer. 4For if he were on earth, he should not be a priest, seeing that there are priests that offer gifts according to the law: 5Who serve to the example and shadow of heavenly things, as Moses was admonished of God when he was about to make the tabernacle: for, See, said he, that you make all things according to the pattern showed to you in the mount. 6But now has he obtained a more excellent ministry, by how much also he is the mediator of a better covenant, which was established on better promises.

Galatians 5 : Living by the Spirit

(Romans 8:9-11)

16This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh. 17For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that you cannot do the things that you would. 18But if you be led of the Spirit, you are not under the law. 19Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, 20Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, jealousies, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, 21Contentions, murders, drunkenness, revelings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.

22But the fruit of the Spirit is:

• love
• joy
• peace
• long-suffering
• gentleness
• goodness
• faith
• 23Meekness
• &
• temperance:
• against such there is no law.

24And they that are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.

After Christ rose from the grave on the 17th, 49 days later on Pentecost, he sent out His Holy Spirit.  Those who have accepted Him into their lives and heart, and live obediently, bear this fruit.  We are known to others by this fruit.

25If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. 26Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying one another.

Virgo Holding the Sheaf

 1 CORINTHIANS 5

20But now hath Christ been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of them that are asleep.21For since by man came death, by
man came also the resurrection of the dead. 22For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ shall all be made alive.

23But each in his own order:

Christ the firstfruits;

then they that are Christ’s, at his coming.

24Then cometh the end, when he shall deliver up the kingdom to God, even the Father;

when he shall have abolished all rule and all authority and power.

25For he must reign, till he hath put all his enemies under his feet. 26The last enemy that shall be abolished is death. 27For, He put all things in subjection under his feet. But when he saith, All things are put in subjection, it is evident that he is excepted who did subject all things unto him. 28And when all things have been subjected unto him, then shall the Son also himself be subjected to him that did subject all things unto him, that God may be all in all.

 

ROMANS 8 : FUTURE GLORY

(2 Corinthians 5:1-10)

18For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed to us-ward.19For the earnest expectation of the creation waiteth for the revealing of the sons of God. 20For the creation was subjected to vanity, not of its own will, but by reason of him who subjected it, in hope 21that the creation itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the liberty of the glory of the children of God. 22For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now. 23And not only so, but ourselves also, who have the first-fruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for our adoption, to wit , the redemption of our body. 24For in hope were we saved: but hope that is seen is not hope: for who hopeth for that which he seeth? 25But if we hope for that which we see not, then do we with patience wait for it. 

Paul described the groaning of creation, the groaning of believers, and the graoning of the Holy Spirit.

Travail gives birth to a new creation.  

Christians have only the firstfruits-the pledge of more to come in our salvation.  We groan because of our fallen nature.  Our new resurrection bodies will conform us to Jesus’ glorified body.

26And in like manner the Spirit also helpeth our infirmity: for we know not how to pray as we ought; but the Spirit himself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered; 27and he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God. 

GOD WORKS IN ALL THINGS

(Ephesians 1:3-14)

28And we know that to them that love God all things work together for good, even to them that are called according to his purpose. 29For whom he foreknew, he also foreordained to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren:30and whom he foreordained, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified.

 

JAMES 5

1 Go to now, [ye] rich men, weep and howl for your miseries that shall come upon [you]. 2 Your riches are corrupted, and your garments are motheaten. 3 Your gold and silver is cankered; and the rust of them shall be a witness against you, and shall eat your flesh as it were fire. Ye have heaped treasure together for the last days. 4 Behold, the hire of the labourers who have reaped down your fields, which is of you kept back by fraud, crieth: and the cries of them which have reaped are entered into the ears of the Lord of sabaoth. 5 Ye have lived in pleasure on the earth, and been wanton; ye have nourished your hearts, as in a day of slaughter. 6 Ye have condemned [and] killed the just; [and] he doth not resist you.

7 Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, and hath long patience for it, until he receive the early and latter rain. 8 Be ye also patient; stablish your hearts: for the coming of the Lord draweth nigh. 9 Grudge not one against another, brethren, lest ye be condemned: behold, the judge standeth before the door.

 

REVELATION 14

4 These are they which were not defiled with women; for they are virgins. These are they which follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth.

These were redeemed from among men, being the firstfruits unto God and to the Lamb.

 

Exodus 4 : Moses’ Staff

8And it shall come to pass, if they will not believe you, neither listen to the voice of the first sign, that they will believe the voice of the latter sign. 9And it shall come to pass, if they will not believe also these two signs, neither listen to your voice, that you shall take of the water of the river, and pour it on the dry land: and the water which you take out of the river shall become blood on the dry land.

The eclipse will start on the West Coast in Oregon and trace a 67-mile wide path east across the country, finally exiting the East Coast in South Carolina. At any given location, the total eclipse will last for around 2 or 3 minutes. 

Joel 2 : I will Pour Out My Spirit

(John 14:15-26; John 16:5-16; Acts 2:1-13; Acts 10:44-48; Acts 19:1-7)

28And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit on all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions:

29And also on the servants and on the handmaids in those days will I pour out my spirit.

30And I will show wonders in the heavens and in the earth, blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke.

31The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and terrible day of the LORD come.

32And it shall come to pass, that whoever shall call on the name of the LORD shall be delivered: for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as the LORD has said, and in the remnant whom the LORD shall call.

 

God’s warning for us

Bright meteor explodes over the Gulf of Mexico

A bright meteor swept through the night sky above the Gulf of Mexico around 04:19 UTC on November 22, 2016 and exploded about 24 km (15 miles) from the surface, creating a spectacular show. The event was seen from Florida to Alabama and Georgia, and as far away as Ohio and New Mexico.

The night before this happened, Jupiter crossed over into the womb of Virgo.

Joel 1 : Invasion of Locusts

 8Wail like a virgin girded with sackcloth,  For the bridegroom of her youth.

      9The grain offering and the drink offering are cut off
            From the house of the LORD.
            The priests mourn,
            The ministers of the LORD.

      10The field is ruined,
            The land mourns;
            For the grain is ruined,
            The new wine dries up,
            Fresh oil fails.

      11Be ashamed, O farmers,
            Wail, O vinedressers,
            For the wheat and the barley;
            Because the harvest of the field is destroyed.

      12The vine dries up
            And the fig tree fails;
            The pomegranate, the palm also, and the apple tree,
            All the trees of the field dry up.
            Indeed, rejoicing dries up
            From the sons of men.

      13Gird yourselves with sackcloth
            And lament, O priests;
            Wail, O ministers of the altar!
            Come, spend the night in sackcloth
            O ministers of my God,
            For the grain offering and the drink offering
            Are withheld from the house of your God.

Starvation and Drought

14Consecrate a fast,
            Proclaim a solemn assembly;
            Gather the elders
            And all the inhabitants of the land
            To the house of the LORD your God,
            And cry out to the LORD.

      15Alas for the day!
            For the day of the LORD is near,
            And it will come as destruction from the Almighty.

      16Has not food been cut off before our eyes,
            Gladness and joy from the house of our God?

      17The seeds shrivel under their clods;
            The storehouses are desolate,
            The barns are torn down,
            For the grain is dried up.

      18How the beasts groan!
            The herds of cattle wander aimlessly
            Because there is no pasture for them;
            Even the flocks of sheep suffer.

      19To You, O LORD, I cry;
            For fire has devoured the pastures of the wilderness
            And the flame has burned up all the trees of the field.

      20Even the beasts of the field pant for You;
            For the water brooks are dried up
            And fire has devoured the pastures of the wilderness. 

Our churches are no longer built on a rock.  The Law of God.  The floods have come and left our churches desolate.   We have been led by bad shepherds who have left us wondering around aimlessly.  

The famine we are dealing with is not food, but lack of understanding of God’s word.  The famine has consequently led to our fruit being dried up.  Not bananas, apples, and oranges…the fruit of the spirit.  We are starving for truth.  We are in spiritual slavery.

 

AMOS 8 :The Basket of Ripe Fruit

1Thus has the Lord GOD showed to me: and behold a basket of summer fruit. 2And he said, Amos, what see you? And I said, A basket of summer fruit. Then said the LORD to me, The end is come on my people of Israel; I will not again pass by them any more. 3And the songs of the temple shall be howlings in that day, said the Lord GOD: there shall be many dead bodies in every place; they shall cast them forth with silence.

4Hear this, O you that swallow up the needy, even to make the poor of the land to fail,

5Saying, When will the new moon be gone, that we may sell corn? and the sabbath, that we may set forth wheat, making the ephah small, and the shekel great, and falsifying the balances by deceit?

6That we may buy the poor for silver, and the needy for a pair of shoes; yes, and sell the refuse of the wheat?

7The LORD has sworn by the excellency of Jacob, Surely I will never forget any of their works.

8Shall not the land tremble for this, and every one mourn that dwells therein? and it shall rise up wholly as a flood; and it shall be cast out and drowned, as by the flood of Egypt.

9And it shall come to pass in that day, said the Lord GOD, that I will cause the sun to go down at noon, and I will darken the earth in the clear day:

10And I will turn your feasts into mourning, and all your songs into lamentation; and I will bring up sackcloth on all loins, and baldness on every head; and I will make it as the mourning of an only son, and the end thereof as a bitter day.

11Behold, the days come, said the Lord GOD, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the LORD:

12And they shall wander from sea to sea, and from the north even to the east, they shall run to and fro to seek the word of the LORD, and shall not find it.

13In that day shall the fair virgins and young men faint for thirst.

We have been inundated with messages, that despite apparently sound reasoning from true premises, leads to a self-contradictory or a logically unacceptable conclusion…which is defined as a Paradox.

Ezekial 34 : Prophecy against Israel’s Shepherds

1And the word of the LORD came to me, saying,

2Son of man, prophesy against the shepherds of Israel, prophesy, and say to them, Thus said the Lord GOD to the shepherds; Woe be to the shepherds of Israel that do feed themselves! should not the shepherds feed the flocks?

3You eat the fat, and you clothe you with the wool, you kill them that are fed: but you feed not the flock. 4The diseased have you not strengthened, neither have you healed that which was sick, neither have you bound up that which was broken, neither have you brought again that which was driven away, neither have you sought that which was lost; but with force and with cruelty have you ruled them. 5And they were scattered, because there is no shepherd: and they became meat to all the beasts of the field, when they were scattered.

6My sheep wandered through all the mountains, and on every high hill: yes, my flock was scattered on all the face of the earth, and none did search or seek after them.

7Therefore, you shepherds, hear the word of the LORD; 8As I live, said the Lord GOD, surely because my flock became a prey, and my flock became meat to every beast of the field, because there was no shepherd, neither did my shepherds search for my flock, but the shepherds fed themselves, and fed not my flock;

9Therefore, O you shepherds, hear the word of the LORD; 10Thus said the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against the shepherds; and I will require my flock at their hand, and cause them to cease from feeding the flock; neither shall the shepherds feed themselves any more; for I will deliver my flock from their mouth, that they may not be meat for them.

The Good Shepherd

(Psalm 23:1-6; John 10:1-21)

11For thus said the Lord GOD; Behold, I, even I, will both search my sheep, and seek them out. 12As a shepherd seeks out his flock in the day that he is among his sheep that are scattered; so will I seek out my sheep, and will deliver them out of all places where they have been scattered in the cloudy and dark day. 13And I will bring them out from the people, and gather them from the countries, and will bring them to their own land, and feed them on the mountains of Israel by the rivers, and in all the inhabited places of the country. 14I will feed them in a good pasture, and on the high mountains of Israel shall their fold be: there shall they lie in a good fold, and in a fat pasture shall they feed on the mountains of Israel.15I will feed my flock, and I will cause them to lie down, said the Lord GOD. 16I will seek that which was lost, and bring again that which was driven away, and will bind up that which was broken, and will strengthen that which was sick: but I will destroy the fat and the strong; I will feed them with judgment.

17And as for you, O my flock, thus said the Lord GOD; Behold, I judge between cattle and cattle, between the rams and the he goats. 18Seems it a small thing to you to have eaten up the good pasture, but you must tread down with your feet the residue of your pastures? and to have drunk of the deep waters, but you must foul the residue with your feet? 19And as for my flock, they eat that which you have trodden with your feet; and they drink that which you have fouled with your feet.

20Therefore thus said the Lord GOD to them; Behold, I, even I, will judge between the fat cattle and between the lean cattle. 21Because you have thrust with side and with shoulder, and pushed all the diseased with your horns, till you have scattered them abroad; 22Therefore will I save my flock, and they shall no more be a prey; and I will judge between cattle and cattle.

23And I will set up one shepherd over them, and he shall feed them, even my servant David; he shall feed them, and he shall be their shepherd. 24And I the LORD will be their God, and my servant David a prince among them; I the LORD have spoken it.

Amos 7 : The Locusts, Fire, and Plumbline

(Joel 2:1-11)

1Thus has the Lord GOD showed to me; and, behold, he formed grasshoppers in the beginning of the shooting up of the latter growth; and, see, it was the latter growth after the king’s mowings.

2And it came to pass, that when they had made an end of eating the grass of the land, then I said, O Lord GOD, forgive, I beseech you: by whom shall Jacob arise? for he is small.

3The LORD repented for this: It shall not be, said the LORD.

4Thus has the Lord GOD showed to me: and, behold, the Lord GOD called to contend by fire, and it devoured the great deep, and did eat up a part.

5Then said I, O Lord GOD, cease, I beseech you: by whom shall Jacob arise? for he is small.

6The LORD repented for this: This also shall not be, said the Lord GOD.

7Thus he showed me: and, behold, the LORD stood on a wall made by a plumb line, with a plumb line in his hand.

8And the LORD said to me, Amos, what see you? And I said, A plumb line. Then said the LORD, Behold, I will set a plumb line in the middle of my people Israel: I will not again pass by them any more:

9And the high places of Isaac shall be desolate, and the sanctuaries of Israel shall be laid waste; and I will rise against the house of Jeroboam with the sword.

A plumb bob or a plummet is a weight, usually with a pointed tip on the bottom, that is suspended from a string and used as a vertical reference line, or plumb-line.  It is essentially the vertical equivalent of a “water level”.  The instrument has been used since at least the time of ancient Egypt to ensure that constructions are “plumb”, or vertical.   

The building God is holding the plumbline to our tabernacles which are our bodies.  The structures that house our hearts.  He is aligning everyone which tabernacles are clothed with Christ.  Are we walking upright in the commandments given to us by God?  Are we walking obediently?  Are we justified?  Are we seeking Him with all of our heart?

The Plumbline is to warn us.

We (Israel) are not currently justified

according to God’s Standard. 

Isaiah 2 : The Mountain of the Lord

1The word that Isaiah the son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem.

2And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of the LORD’s house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow to it.

3And many people shall go and say, Come you, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.

4And he shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people: and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.

5O house of Jacob, come you, and let us walk in the light of the LORD.

The Day of the Reckoning

6Therefore you have forsaken your people the house of Jacob, because they be replenished from the east, and are soothsayers like the Philistines, and they please themselves in the children of strangers.

7Their land also is full of silver and gold, neither is there any end of their treasures; their land is also full of horses, neither is there any end of their chariots:

8Their land also is full of idols; they worship the work of their own hands, that which their own fingers have made:

9And the mean man bows down, and the great man humbles himself: therefore forgive them not.

10Enter into the rock, and hide you in the dust, for fear of the LORD, and for the glory of his majesty.

11The lofty looks of man shall be humbled, and the haughtiness of men shall be bowed down, and the LORD alone shall be exalted in that day.

12For the day of the LORD of hosts shall be on every one that is proud and lofty, and on every one that is lifted up; and he shall be brought low:

13And on all the cedars of Lebanon, that are high and lifted up, and on all the oaks of Bashan,

14And on all the high mountains, and on all the hills that are lifted up,

15And on every high tower, and on every fenced wall,

16And on all the ships of Tarshish, and on all pleasant pictures.

17And the loftiness of man shall be bowed down, and the haughtiness of men shall be made low: and the LORD alone shall be exalted in that day.

18And the idols he shall utterly abolish.

19And they shall go into the holes of the rocks, and into the caves of the earth, for fear of the LORD, and for the glory of his majesty, when he rises to shake terribly the earth.

20In that day a man shall cast his idols of silver, and his idols of gold, which they made each one for himself to worship, to the moles and to the bats;

21To go into the clefts of the rocks, and into the tops of the ragged rocks, for fear of the LORD, and for the glory of his majesty, when he rises to shake terribly the earth.

22Cease you from man, whose breath is in his nostrils: for wherein is he to be accounted of ?

It’s time to board the Ark and enter into the Rock!!!

Again, not a physical ark, but a spiritual ark.  The waters are rising and the flood of information will drown you unless you put your faith in Christ and Seek God with all your heart.  He will show you the truth and the truth will set you free.  Ask Him to teach you to learn how to walk in His ways.

If your asking yourself, “how am I supposed to take all of this?  I just had a baby or I have little kids.”

 I firmly believe it is why God chose a man named Isaac to find that page in the fire.  In Genesis 17 God renewed His covenant with Abraham.  What was God’s test of faith with Abraham?  To take his son Isaac that was promised to him, and sacrifice him on the altar, and offer him as a burnt offering.  

But did God make him sacrifice him?  No.  

He did it to test his faith.

God wants to know if we trust him?  It’s all He’s ever wanted from the beginning.  As you will see, there is absolutely no reason to doubt, or not put all of your trust in Him.

These were the words of Moses to the Israelite’s when heading to the Promised Land.  Commanding them to keep the Narrow Path.  The Promised Land for us now is the Restoration of Eden with us. 

The Plumbline

After you have read the post on fear, you should know why God sent the message from the book of Joel and why He is setting the plumb line in the midst of us.  He is going to bring us all the through the fire.  He has chosen us out of the furnace of affliction.

He is going to try us.  

 

Just like the Passover, the only thing that will save us the Sacrificed Lamb.  Being clothed with Christ.

 

Not money.

 

Not possessions.

 

Not by building a bunker.

 

“The bride has made herself ready” means preparation.  

 

That preparation we have to make is repentance and fleeing from Babylon.  Repentance is turning from any sin in our live and walking in obedience with God’s Law.  

Where is God’s Law written?  At the beginning of the bible.  The first 4 books.  The 5th, Deuteronomy, means a repeat of the law.  

 

Just like we had to keep starting over in the Escape Game because we could not keep a straight line.  We were turning to the right and left.  Until we used the board to keep us aligned, we had no hope of escaping.  

 

Everything Jesus did was in accordance with fulfilling God’s Law.  Everything written in the bible builds off the foundation of God’s Law.  When you don’t know God’s Law, you can easily misinterpret the rest of the passages in the bible.  When Jesus was young, what did He do?  He went to the temple and they were blown away by His knowledge of the Torah.  He knew it, inside and out.  His foundation was immovable.

He was the only one who was able to fulfill it perfectly.  God’s Law was given to us follow to protect and guide our heart.  Jesus, who gives us His Holy Spirit when we accept him into our hearts, becomes our shepherd, the guide, the spirit of truth, that will lead us to the Promised Land.   

As you will begin to see how God’s Law and what Jesus did for us are intertwined, your house will be built on the rock, and your house will no longer swerve to right and left as this storm is coming.  You will be able to withstand the fire.  We have all been deceived because of bad teachers.  We have not been taught correctly, how these 2 are inseparable.

Joel 2 : The Terrible Visitation

1Blow a trumpet in Zion,
            And sound an alarm on My holy mountain!
            Let all the inhabitants of the land tremble,
   For the day of the LORD is coming;
            Surely it is near,

16Gather the people, sanctify the congregation,
            Assemble the elders,
            Gather the children and the nursing infants.
   Let the bridegroom come out of his room
            And the bride out of her bridal chamber.

17Let the priests, the LORD’S ministers,
            Weep between the porch and the altar,
            And let them say, “Spare Your people, O LORD,
            And do not make Your inheritance a reproach,
            A byword among the nations.
            Why should they among the peoples say,
            ‘Where is their God?’”

REVELATION 11: THE TWO WITNESSES

1Then I was given a measuring rod like a staff and was told, “Go and measure the temple of God and the altar, and count the number of worshipers there. 2But exclude the courtyard outside the temple. Do not measure it, because it has been given over to the nations, and they will trample the holy city for 42 months. 3And I will empower my two witnesses, and they will prophesy for a 1260 days, clothed in sackcloth.” 

In 2014, 4 consecutive blood moons occurred which all fell on Feasts days, or Appointed Times by God.

The 1st blood moon on 4/15/2014 marked the beginning of the Tribulation.

9/23/2017 marks the beginning of the Great Tribulation and final 1260 days or 3.5 years.

MATTHEW 24 :  The Return of the Son of Man

29Immediately after the tribulation of those days:

‘The sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light;  (eclipse)

the stars will fall from the sky, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken.’

30At that time the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven, and all the tribes of the earth will mourn.

The Tribulation started in 2014 with the 1st blood moon on Passover :

Jesus was crucified on the 14th (Passover)

The Sign of the Son of Man 2017 :

Jesus rose from the grave on the 17th (Feast of First Fruits)

Jesus spent 33 years on earth

Sign of the Son of Man, 33 days after the Total Eclipse

33 days is the number of days required for purification of a woman after childbirth, as prescribed by Mosaic Law.

Incredibly the Chapter numbers from Joel, taken from the fire, happen to line up with years of the start and end of the Tribulation, and split in the middle near verse 17.

They will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven, with power and great glory.c 31And He will send out His angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather His elect from the four winds, from one end of the heavens to the other.

AS IN THE DAYS OF NOAH

36But of that day and hour knoweth no one, not even the angels of heaven, neither the Son, but the Father only.

37And as were the days of Noah, so shall be the coming of the Son of man. 38For as in those days which were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark, 39and they knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall be the coming of the Son of man. 40Then shall two man be in the field; one is taken, and one is left: 41two women’shall be grinding at the mill; one is taken, and one is left. 

42Watch therefore: for ye know not on what day your Lord cometh.

43But know this, that if the master of the house had known in what watch the thief was coming, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken through. 44Therefore be ye also ready; for in an hour that ye think not the Son of man cometh.

 The Lost Sheep is who “The Bride” is.

Incredibly, The day I played the Escape Game,

was the same day I came across a video from Psalm 119

ministries that showed me this.

Seeing yourself as part of the bride, for a guy, made this awkward and confusing concept for me, but as you will see it will all start to make sense. 

 ➡   The sign in 2017 represent Ezekial’s Vision of Dry Bones. 

Ezekial 37 : The Valley of Dry Bones

1The hand of the LORD was on me, and carried me out in the spirit of the LORD, and set me down in the middle of the valley which was full of bones, 2And caused me to pass by them round about: and, behold, there were very many in the open valley; and, see, they were very dry. 3And he said to me, Son of man, can these bones live? And I answered, O Lord GOD, you know. 4Again he said to me, Prophesy on these bones, and say to them, O you dry bones, hear the word of the LORD. 5Thus said the Lord GOD to these bones; Behold, I will cause breath to enter into you, and you shall live: 6And I will lay sinews on you, and will bring up flesh on you, and cover you with skin, and put breath in you, and you shall live; and you shall know that I am the LORD.

7So I prophesied as I was commanded: and as I prophesied, there was a noise, and behold a shaking, and the bones came together, bone to his bone. 8And when I beheld, see, the sinews and the flesh came up on them, and the skin covered them above: but there was no breath in them. 9Then said he to me, Prophesy to the wind, prophesy, son of man, and say to the wind, Thus said the Lord GOD; Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe on these slain, that they may live. 10So I prophesied as he commanded me, and the breath came into them, and they lived, and stood up on their feet, an exceeding great army.

The Vision Explained

11Then he said to me, Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel: behold, they say, Our bones are dried, and our hope is lost: we are cut off for our parts.12Therefore prophesy and say to them, Thus said the Lord GOD; Behold, O my people, I will open your graves, and cause you to come up out of your graves, and bring you into the land of Israel. 13And you shall know that I am the LORD, when I have opened your graves, O my people, and brought you up out of your graves, 14And shall put my spirit in you, and you shall live, and I shall place you in your own land: then shall you know that I the LORD have spoken it, and performed it, said the LORD.

 :arrow:   Joseph and Jacob were the only ones mentioned in the bible that had their bones embalmed.

One Nation with One King

15The word of the LORD came again to me, saying,

16Moreover, you son of man, take you one stick, and write on it, For Judah, and for the children of Israel his companions: then take another stick, and write on it, For Joseph, the stick of Ephraim and for all the house of Israel his companions: 17And join them one to another into one stick; and they shall become one in your hand. 18And when the children of your people shall speak to you, saying, Will you not show us what you mean by these? 19Say to them, Thus said the Lord GOD; Behold, I will take the stick of Joseph, which is in the hand of Ephraim, and the tribes of Israel his fellows, and will put them with him, even with the stick of Judah, and make them one stick, and they shall be one in my hand. 20And the sticks where on you write shall be in your hand before their eyes. 21And say to them, Thus said the Lord GOD; Behold, I will take the children of Israel from among the heathen, where they be gone, and will gather them on every side, and bring them into their own land:22And I will make them one nation in the land on the mountains of Israel; and one king shall be king to them all: and they shall be no more two nations, neither shall they be divided into two kingdoms any more at all. 23Neither shall they defile themselves any more with their idols, nor with their detestable things, nor with any of their transgressions: but I will save them out of all their dwelling places, wherein they have sinned, and will cleanse them: so shall they be my people, and I will be their God.

24And David my servant shall be king over them; and they all shall have one shepherd: they shall also walk in my judgments, and observe my statutes, and do them. 25And they shall dwell in the land that I have given to Jacob my servant, wherein your fathers have dwelled; and they shall dwell therein, even they, and their children, and their children’s children for ever: and my servant David shall be their prince for ever. 26Moreover I will make a covenant of peace with them; it shall be an everlasting covenant with them: and I will place them, and multiply them, and will set my sanctuary in the middle of them for ever more. 27My tabernacle also shall be with them: yes, I will be their God, and they shall be my people. 28And the heathen shall know that I the LORD do sanctify Israel, when my sanctuary shall be in the middle of them for ever more.

 

Ezekial 36 : Prophecy to the Mountains of Israel

1Also, you son of man, prophesy to the mountains of Israel, and say, You mountains of Israel, hear the word of the LORD: 2Thus said the Lord GOD; Because the enemy has said against you, Aha, even the ancient high places are ours in possession: 3Therefore prophesy and say, Thus said the Lord GOD; Because they have made you desolate, and swallowed you up on every side, that you might be a possession to the residue of the heathen, and you are taken up in the lips of talkers, and are an infamy of the people: 4Therefore, you mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Lord GOD; Thus said the Lord GOD to the mountains, and to the hills, to the rivers, and to the valleys, to the desolate wastes, and to the cities that are forsaken, which became a prey and derision to the residue of the heathen that are round about;5Therefore thus said the Lord GOD; Surely in the fire of my jealousy have I spoken against the residue of the heathen, and against all Idumea, which have appointed my land into their possession with the joy of all their heart, with despiteful minds, to cast it out for a prey.6Prophesy therefore concerning the land of Israel, and say to the mountains, and to the hills, to the rivers, and to the valleys, Thus said the Lord GOD; Behold, I have spoken in my jealousy and in my fury, because you have borne the shame of the heathen: 7Therefore thus said the Lord GOD; I have lifted up my hand, Surely the heathen that are about you, they shall bear their shame. 8But you, O mountains of Israel, you shall shoot forth your branches, and yield your fruit to my people of Israel; for they are at hand to come. 9For, behold, I am for you, and I will turn to you, and you shall be tilled and sown: 10And I will multiply men on you, all the house of Israel, even all of it: and the cities shall be inhabited, and the wastes shall be built: 11And I will multiply on you man and beast; and they shall increase and bring fruit: and I will settle you after your old estates, and will do better to you than at your beginnings: and you shall know that I am the LORD. 12Yes, I will cause men to walk on you, even my people Israel; and they shall possess you, and you shall be their inheritance, and you shall no more from now on bereave them of men.

13Thus said the Lord GOD; Because they say to you, You land devour up men, and have bereaved your nations: 14Therefore you shall devour men no more, neither bereave your nations any more, said the Lord GOD. 15Neither will I cause men to hear in you the shame of the heathen any more, neither shall you bear the reproach of the people any more, neither shall you cause your nations to fall any more, said the Lord GOD.

The Lord’s Holy Name

16Moreover the word of the LORD came to me, saying, 17Son of man, when the house of Israel dwelled in their own land, they defiled it by their own way and by their doings: their way was before me as the uncleanness of a removed woman. 18Why I poured my fury on them for the blood that they had shed on the land, and for their idols with which they had polluted it: 19And I scattered them among the heathen, and they were dispersed through the countries: according to their way and according to their doings I judged them. 20And when they entered to the heathen, where they went, they profaned my holy name, when they said to them, These are the people of the LORD, and are gone forth out of his land. 21But I had pity for my holy name, which the house of Israel had profaned among the heathen, where they went.

A New Heart and Spirit

22Therefore say to the house of Israel, thus said the Lord GOD; I do not this for your sakes, O house of Israel, but for my holy name’s sake, which you have profaned among the heathen, where you went. 23And I will sanctify my great name, which was profaned among the heathen, which you have profaned in the middle of them; and the heathen shall know that I am the LORD, said the Lord GOD, when I shall be sanctified in you before their eyes. 24For I will take you from among the heathen, and gather you out of all countries, and will bring you into your own land. 25Then will I sprinkle clean water on you, and you shall be clean: from all your filthiness, and from all your idols, will I cleanse you. 26A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh. 27And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and you shall keep my judgments, and do them. 28And you shall dwell in the land that I gave to your fathers; and you shall be my people, and I will be your God.29I will also save you from all your uncleannesses: and I will call for the corn, and will increase it, and lay no famine on you. 30And I will multiply the fruit of the tree, and the increase of the field, that you shall receive no more reproach of famine among the heathen. 31Then shall you remember your own evil ways, and your doings that were not good, and shall loathe yourselves in your own sight for your iniquities and for your abominations. 32Not for your sakes do I this, said the Lord GOD, be it known to you: be ashamed and confounded for your own ways, O house of Israel.

A land like the Garden of Eden

33Thus said the Lord GOD; In the day that I shall have cleansed you from all your iniquities I will also cause you to dwell in the cities, and the wastes shall be built. 34And the desolate land shall be tilled, whereas it lay desolate in the sight of all that passed by. 35And they shall say,

This land that was desolate is become like the garden of Eden; and the waste and desolate and ruined cities are become fenced, and are inhabited. 36Then the heathen that are left round about you shall know that I the LORD build the ruined places, and plant that that was desolate: I the LORD have spoken it, and I will do it.

37Thus said the Lord GOD; I will yet for this be inquired of by the house of Israel, to do it for them; I will increase them with men like a flock.38As the holy flock, as the flock of Jerusalem in her solemn feasts; so shall the waste cities be filled with flocks of men: and they shall know that I am the LORD. 

Just like the US, Israel became divided in two into the Northern and Southern Kingdoms, but unlike the US, Israel never came back together. 

Both Kingdoms ended up being banished from their land and taken into captivity. The Northern Kingdom, “House of Israel” was taken by the Assyrians.  The Southern Kingdom, “House of Judah” led into Exile in Babylon.

Only a portion of the Southern Kingdom was led back into Israel.

 The Ten Northern Tribes of Israel became known as

“Ephraim”

because it was Joseph’s son Ephraim who became their tribal leader.

 

GENESIS 48 : JACOB BLESSES EPHRAIM AND MANASSEH

5And now your two sons, Ephraim and Manasseh, which were born to you in the land of Egypt before I came to you into Egypt, are mine; as Reuben and Simeon, they shall be mine. 17 And when Joseph saw that his father laid his right hand on the head of Ephraim, it displeased him: and he held up his father’s hand, to remove it from Ephraim’s head to Manasseh’s head. 18And Joseph said to his father, Not so, my father: for this is the firstborn; put your right hand on his head. 19And his father refused, and said, I know it, my son, I know it: he also shall become a people, and he also shall be great: but truly his younger brother shall be greater than he, and his seed shall become a multitude of nations. 

When Jacob blessed Ephraim, he crossed his arms and put his right hand on Ephraim’s Head.

Psalms 110 : God’s Faithful Messiah

(Hebrews 5:1-10)

1The LORD said to my Lord, Sit you at my right hand, until I make your enemies your footstool.  2The LORD shall send the rod of your strength out of Zion: rule you in the middle of your enemies.  3Your people shall be willing in the day of your power, in the beauties of holiness from the womb of the morning: you have the dew of your youth.  4The LORD has sworn, and will not repent, You are a priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek.  5The Lord at your right hand shall strike through kings in the day of his wrath. 6He shall judge among the heathen, he shall fill the places with the dead bodies; he shall wound the heads over many countries. 7He shall drink of the brook in the way: therefore shall he lift up the head.

  ➡   Ephraim, the youngest, received the 1st born blessing

 ➡    Ephraim, was prophesied to be the fullness of the nations, those belonging to God.

Currently over 9 Billion people

 ➡  Rachel (mother of Joseph) means “ewe” or “sheep”;

Ewes have estrus cycles about every 17 days,^[71] during which they emit a scent and indicate readiness through physical displays towards rams.

Estrus refers to the phase when the female is sexually receptive (“in heat”). Under regulation by gonadotropic hormones, ovarian follicles mature and estrogen secretions exert their biggest influence. The female then exhibits sexually receptive behavior, a situation that may be signaled by visible physiologic changes.

A signal trait of estrus is the lordosis reflex, in which the animal spontaneously elevates her hindquarters.

Habbakuk 3

The LORD God is my strength, and he will make my feet like hinds’ feet, and he will make me to walk upon mine high places. To the chief singer on my stringed instruments.

 

Psalms 18:33

He maketh my feet like hinds’ feet, and setteth me upon my high places.

 

DEUTERONOMY 33 : THE BLESSINGS OF THE 12 TRIBES

13And of Joseph he said, Blessed of the LORD be his land, for the precious things of heaven, for the dew, and for the deep that coucheth beneath, 14And for the precious fruits brought forth by the sun, and for the precious things put forth by the moon, 15And for the chief things of the ancient mountains, and for the precious things of the lasting hills, 16And for the precious things of the earth and fullness thereof, and for the good will of him that dwelled in the bush: let the blessing come on the head of Joseph, and on the top of the head of him that was separated from his brothers. 17 His glory is like the firstling of his bullock, and his horns are like the horns of unicorns: with them he shall push the people together to the ends of the earth: and they are the ten thousands of Ephraim, and they are the thousands of Manasseh. 

 Moses’ desire for Joseph was primarily for agriculture and military success. 

➡   The allusion to him that dwelt in the bush is to place Joseph back at the setting of the covenant God made with Israel at the burning bush and all the promises of His abundant grace associated with it.

Judah and Joseph received the longest blessings from Jacob

Genesis 49 : Jacob Blesses Sons

22Joseph is a fruitful bough, even a fruitful bough by a well; whose branches run over the wall:

“boughs” occurs 17 times

23The archers have sorely grieved him, and shot at him, and hated him:

The word, “Sin” is derived from an archers term for missing the mark.  

Nimrod

I can attest that I have been sorely grieved because of archers missing the mark.  And worse, teachers instructing us to miss the mark.  Nimrod, who was the builder of Babylon, and who the powers of the world worship, created a labrynth for us.  A maze so corrupted and filled with idols that it is almost impossible to function as a Christian.   As Joseph was sold into physical slavery and exile, we have been sold into spiritual slavery and exile trying to search for the truth.  

I was also, unfortunately, born on Valentine’s Day.

Every one of my relationships have ended up sorely grieving me.  I was missing the mark in all of them.  I gave none of them to God, and I didn’t follow his guidance concerning them.

Luckily for us, God is the one who will break the bow and cut the spear asunder.

Sagittarius resides on one of the two place the Milky Way intersects the ecliptic, the circuit of the heavens across the signs of the zodiac traveled by the sun and planets in their orbits as viewed from the earth.

I currently live in Nashville

The ecliptic, the path of the planets, crosses the Milky Way between Gemini and Taurus, and between Sagittarius and Scorpio, with the two most prominent signs on the ecliptic being Sagittarius and Gemini.

The arrow of Sagittarius delineates the union of the serpent’s head and tail; the celestial archer indicates the proper place to “Divide the Ouroborus”.

The sign of the passing away of one aion and the beginning of the next “life span” occurs only when the sun rises in the outh of Ouroboros during a solstice or an equinox.

25Even by the God of your father, who shall help you; and by the Almighty, who shall bless you with blessings of heaven above, blessings of the deep that lies under, blessings of the breasts, and of the womb:

26The blessings of your father have prevailed above the blessings of my progenitors to the utmost bound of the everlasting hills: they shall be on the head of Joseph, and on the crown of the head of him that was separate from his brothers.

1 CORINTHIANS 5

20But now hath Christ been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of them that are asleep.

21For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead. 22For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ shall all be made alive.

23But each in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; then they that are Christ’s, at his coming. 24Then cometh the end, when he shall deliver up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have abolished all rule and all authority and power.25For he must reign, till he hath put all his enemies under his feet. 26The last enemy that shall be abolished is death. 27For, He put all things in subjection under his feet.

But when he saith, All things are put in subjection, it is evident that he is excepted who did subject all things unto him. 28And when all things have been subjected unto him, then shall the Son also himself be subjected to him that did subject all things unto him, that God may be all in all.

8 Judah, thou [art he] whom thy brethren shall praise: thy hand [shall be] in the neck of thine enemies; thy father’s children shall bow down before thee. 9 Judah [is] a lion’s whelp: from the prey, my son, thou art gone up: he stooped down, he couched as a lion, and as an old lion; who shall rouse him up? 10 The sceptre shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh come; and unto him shall the gathering of the people be. 11 Binding his foal unto the vine, and his ass’s colt unto the choice vine; he washed his garments in wine, and his clothes in the blood of grapes: 12 His eyes [shall be] red with wine, and his teeth white with milk.

 

Genesis 49:19 : Jacobs prophecy of Benjamin

The sons of Rachel Jacob’s wife; Joseph, and Benjamin… 27 Benjamin shall ravin [as] a wolf: in the morning he shall devour the prey, and at night he shall divide the spoil.

Paul, who was of the tribe of Benjamin, divided the spoils of the victory of Christ’s resurrection by correctly discerning the true meaning of the gospel with those who tried to pervert it.

➡   The Ten Northern Tribes of Israel who were divorced by God became known as “Ephraim”.

➡   It was Joseph’s son Ephraim who became their tribal leader.

JEREMIAH 3 : FAITHLESS ISRAEL

6The LORD said also to me in the days of Josiah the king, Have you seen that which backsliding Israel has done? she is gone up on every high mountain and under every green tree, and there has played the harlot. 7And I said after she had done all these things, Turn you to me. But she returned not. And her treacherous sister Judah saw it. 8And I saw, when for all the causes whereby backsliding Israel committed adultery I had put her away, and given her a bill of divorce;

➡   The Northern Kingdom was divorced because of her adultery.  

➡   God considered himself a husband to Israel.

DEUTERONOMY 24 : LAW OF DIVORCE

1“When a man takes a wife and marries her, and it happens that she finds no favor in his eyes because he has found some indecency in her, and he writes her a certificate of divorce and puts it in her hand and sends her out from his house, 2and she leaves his house and goes and becomes another man’s wife,3and if the latter husband turns against her and writes her a certificate of divorce and puts it in her hand and sends her out of his house, or if the latter husband dies who took her to be his wife, 4then her former husband who sent her away is not allowed to take her again to be his wife, since she has been defiled; for that is an abomination before the LORD, and you shall not bring sin on the land which the LORD your God gives you as an inheritance.

➡   Another reason why God couldn’t remarry Ephraim is that a priest could only be a priest if he was a descendant of Aaron.

Exodus 19

 3 And Moses went up unto God, and the LORD called unto him out of the mountain, saying, Thus shalt thou say to the house of Jacob, and tell the children of Israel; 4 Ye have seen what I did unto the Egyptians, and [how] I bare you on eagles’ wings, and brought you unto myself. 5 Now therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant, then ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto me above all people: for all the earth [is] mine: 6 And ye shall be unto me a kingdom of priests, and an holy nation. These [are] the words which thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel. 7 And Moses came and called for the elders of the people, and laid before their faces all these words which the LORD commanded him.

 

Revelation 1

5 And from Jesus Christ, [who is] the faithful witness, [and] the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood, 6 And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him [be] glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.

 

REVELATION 5

 9 And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation; 10 And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth.

 

 

How then, can God remarry

the lost sheep of Israel, 

without breaking His own Law?

 

GOD CAN NOT SIN!

 

Yet His own Law says it is a sin to do so.

 

 

 ROMANS 7 : RELEASED THROUGH DEATH

1Or do you not know, brothers—for I am speaking to those who know the law—that the law is binding on a person only as long as he lives? 2For a married woman is bound by law to her husband while he lives, but if her husband dies she is released from the law of marriage. 

 ➡    Paul goes onto say that we die in Christ, when we come into the faith.  Releasing both us and God from the requirement of the law as it relates to divorce and remarriage.  So Christ came down and died for the Lost Sheep in order to bring them back into the fold. 

ROMANS 6 : DEAD TO SIN, ALIVE TO GOD

5For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection: 6Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that from now on we should not serve sin. 7For he that is dead is freed from sin. 

In the book of Hosea, Hosea charged Israel (Ephraim) with:

• violating basic covenant requirements of faithfulness and kindness, rejecting knowledge of God and His law.
• become self satisfied and proud and had forgotten God’s grace.
• engaging in idolatry.
• trusting in human devices (kings, princes, and foreign covenants) rather than God.

Hosea is the perfect parallel between God and Israel, and Hosea and his wife.

Both were loving husbands of unfaithful wives.

Like a marriage partner, God is deeply involved in our lives and is pained when we go our own way.  He demands love and loyalty from His own.  We have failed to demonstrate this yet He stands ready to forgive and restore those who turn to Him in repentance.  In buying Gomer’s freedom, Hosea pointed ahead to God’s love perfectly expressed in Christ, who bought the freedom of His bride, the church, with His own life.

GREATEST LOVE STORY NEVER TOLD

➡     He came as the word, to die in our place.  The only way the covenant could be annulled was through death of either partner.  This was his goal, to die as the Son of God, to restore that which was lost. 

➡    Just as Egyptians left with the Hebrews in the Exodus by way of the Passover lamb, Christ has opened the door that whosoever can call upon Him will be saved.

 ➡    What was lost?  His people.

John 15 : Greater Love has No One than This

 ➡    When you die in him, you are dead to the sins of our disobedience. If you live in him, you can be re-united with the Father.  But if you are not in him, you are still in the divorced state, considered dead in your sins, and you cannot be reunited with God, the first High Priest.

  ➡    This is what “The Prodigal Son” is all about.

  ➡    The Prodigal Son is Ephraim – considered dead.

 ➡    It wasn’t until the perfect son, Jesus, came and died as the son of God to annul the covenant.

 ➡    To establish the new.

 ➡    He died in our place.

 ➡    He came as the Son of God, Israel.

 ➡    Israel was considered the firstborn of God.  

Gershon was firstborn of the Levi (Priests)

Ephraim who was the 2nd born of Joseph but received the firstborn blessing.

Exodus 4 : Aaron to Be Moses’ Mouthpiece
    18Then Moses departed and returned to Jethro his father-in-law and said to him, “Please, let me go, that I may return to my brethren who are in Egypt, and see if they are still alive.” And Jethro said to Moses, “Go in peace.” 19Now the LORD said to Moses in Midian, “Go back to Egypt, for all the men who were seeking your life are dead.” 20So Moses took his wife and his sons and mounted them on a donkey, and returned to the land of Egypt. Moses also took the staff of God in his hand.

      21The LORD said to Moses, “When you go back to Egypt see that you perform before Pharaoh all the wonders which I have put in your power; but I will harden his heart so that he will not let the people go. 22“Then you shall say to Pharaoh, ‘Thus says the LORD, “Israel is My son, My firstborn. 23“So I said to you, ‘Let My son go that he may serve Me’; but you have refused to let him go. Behold, I will kill your son, your firstborn.”’”

      24Now it came about at the lodging place on the way that the LORD met him and sought to put him to death. 25Then Zipporah took a flint and cut off her son’s foreskin and threw it at Moses’ feet, and she said, “You are indeed a bridegroom of blood to me.” 26So He let him alone. At that time she said, “You are a bridegroom of blood”—because of the circumcision.

      27Now the LORD said to Aaron, “Go to meet Moses in the wilderness.” So he went and met him at the mountain of God and kissed him. 28Moses told Aaron all the words of the LORD with which He had sent him, and all the signs that He had commanded him to do. 29Then Moses and Aaron went and assembled all the elders of the sons of Israel;30and Aaron spoke all the words which the LORD had spoken to Moses. He then performed the signs in the sight of the people. 31So the people believed; and when they heard that the LORD was concerned about the sons of Israel and that He had seen their affliction, then they bowed low and worshiped.

NUMBERS 5 : CLEANSING OF THE CAMPS
(Leviticus 13:1-46)

1And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 2Command the children of Israel, that they put out of the camp every leper, and every one that has an issue, and whoever is defiled by the dead: 3Both male and female shall you put out, without the camp shall you put them; that they defile not their camps, in the middle whereof I dwell. 4And the children of Israel did so, and put them out without the camp: as the LORD spoke to Moses, so did the children of Israel.

Restitution for Trespasses
(Luke 19:1-10)

5And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 6Speak to the children of Israel, When a man or woman shall commit any sin that men commit, to do a trespass against the LORD, and that person be guilty; 7Then they shall confess their sin which they have done: and he shall recompense his trespass with the principal thereof, and add to it the fifth part thereof, and give it to him against whom he has trespassed. 8But if the man have no kinsman to recompense the trespass to, let the trespass be recompensed to the LORD, even to the priest; beside the ram of the atonement, whereby an atonement shall be made for him. 9And every offering of all the holy things of the children of Israel, which they bring to the priest, shall be his. 10And every man’s hallowed things shall be his: whatever any man gives the priest, it shall be his.

The Adultery Test

11And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 12Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them, If any man’s wife go aside, and commit a trespass against him, 13And a man lie with her carnally, and it be hid from the eyes of her husband, and be kept close, and she be defiled, and there be no witness against her, neither she be taken with the manner; 14And the spirit of jealousy come on him, and he be jealous of his wife, and she be defiled: or if the spirit of jealousy come on him, and he be jealous of his wife, and she be not defiled: 15Then shall the man bring his wife to the priest, and he shall bring her offering for her, the tenth part of an ephah of barley meal; he shall pour no oil on it, nor put frankincense thereon; for it is an offering of jealousy, an offering of memorial, bringing iniquity to remembrance.

16And the priest shall bring her near, and set her before the LORD: 17And the priest shall take holy water in an earthen vessel; and of the dust that is in the floor of the tabernacle the priest shall take, and put it into the water: 18And the priest shall set the woman before the LORD, and uncover the woman’s head, and put the offering of memorial in her hands, which is the jealousy offering: and the priest shall have in his hand the bitter water that causes the curse: 19And the priest shall charge her by an oath, and say to the woman, If no man have lain with you, and if you have not gone aside to uncleanness with another instead of your husband, be you free from this bitter water that causes the curse: 20But if you have gone aside to another instead of your husband, and if you be defiled, and some man have lain with you beside your husband: 21Then the priest shall charge the woman with an oath of cursing, and the priest shall say to the woman, The LORD make you a curse and an oath among your people, when the LORD does make your thigh to rot, and your belly to swell; 22And this water that causes the curse shall go into your bowels, to make your belly to swell, and your thigh to rot: And the woman shall say, Amen, amen.

23And the priest shall write these curses in a book, and he shall blot them out with the bitter water: 24And he shall cause the woman to drink the bitter water that causes the curse: and the water that causes the curse shall enter into her, and become bitter. 25Then the priest shall take the jealousy offering out of the woman’s hand, and shall wave the offering before the LORD, and offer it on the altar: 26And the priest shall take an handful of the offering, even the memorial thereof, and burn it on the altar, and afterward shall cause the woman to drink the water. 27And when he has made her to drink the water, then it shall come to pass, that, if she be defiled, and have done trespass against her husband, that the water that causes the curse shall enter into her, and become bitter, and her belly shall swell, and her thigh shall rot: and the woman shall be a curse among her people. 28And if the woman be not defiled, but be clean; then she shall be free, and shall conceive seed.

29This is the law of jealousies, when a wife goes aside to another instead of her husband, and is defiled; 30Or when the spirit of jealousy comes on him, and he be jealous over his wife, and shall set the woman before the LORD, and the priest shall execute on her all this law. 31Then shall the man be guiltless from iniquity, and this woman shall bear her iniquity. 

➡    It was these ordinances written on the scroll that were contrary to us or against us and that were washed off the scroll into the cup. Then was nailed to the cross and to Jesus. He had to drink as prescribed in the law for the wife accused of adultery. This is why he had to drink the bitter water.  Now we know why Jesus prayed in the garden…

MATTHEW 26

39And he went forward a little, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, My Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass away from me: nevertheless, not as I will, but as thou wilt.

COLOSSIANS 2

13And you, being dead through your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, you, I say , did he make alive together with him, having forgiven us all our trespasses;14having blotted out the bond written in ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us: and he hath taken it out that way, nailing it to the cross;

 ➡    This is the handwriting of ordinances. This is the curse mentioned in Numbers 5:21, that he took away from us. So we see that Jesus died not only so he could remarry his divorced bride, but he took the place of her judgement.  Nailing that judgement to the cross. 

He had to drink from the cup, the cup of bitter water, 

that was to given to the wife, accused of adultery. 

He knew what the outcome of the cup would bring, 

therefore he prayed for it be taken away,

while in the Garden of Gethsemane.

Matthew 26 : Jesus Prays In the Garden of Gethsemane

32Then they came to a place called Gethsemane, and Jesus told His disciples, “Sit here while I pray.”

33He took with Him Peter, James, and John, and began to be deeply troubled and distressed.

34And He told them,

“My soul is consumed with sorrow to the point of death.

Stay here and keep watch.”

35Going a little farther, He fell to the ground and prayed that, if it were possible, the hour would pass from Him. 36“Abba, Father,” He said, “all things are possible for You. Take this cup from Me. Yet not what I will, but what You will.”

37Then Jesus returned and found them sleeping. “Simon, are you asleep?”

He asked, “Were you not able to keep watch for one hour?

38Watch and pray so that you will not enter into temptation. For the spirit is willing, but the body is weak.”

39Again He went away and prayed, saying the same thing. 40And again He returned and found them sleeping, for their eyes were heavy. And they did not know what to answer Him.

41When Jesus returned the third time, He said,

“Are you still sleeping and resting?

That is enough!

The hour has come.

Look, the Son of Man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.

42Rise, let us go. See, My betrayer is approaching!” 

Jesus is in the Garden telling his disciples to “KEEP WATCH” and that His Betrayer is approaching!

We are in the Garden right now!

The Gatlinburg Fire was God’s warning for us to Pray and Keep Watch!

His Betrayer is Approaching!!!

5776 A.L, “year of light”  

 THE GREAT SEAL

Novus Ordo Seclorum : 17 Letters

5,776 is exactly how many inches high the Great Pyramid in Giza would be when completed with its capstone, a sacred fact to occultists.  5776 is the Hebrew Year for 2016.  

Completing the pyramid symbolically in this way is central to the rituals and mysticism of Freemasons and numerous Illuminated fraternities.

This has been true throughout the ages, and is why this symbolism was encoded on the Great Seal and remains at the core of esoteric ambition today.

The year 1776 thus represents the trestle board date on which the great work and secret destiny began; and is a prophetic marker toward the descent of the eye of Apollo/Osiris/Nimrod upon the uncapped pyramid in accomplishment of the Great Work.

The Gregorian Calendar, also called the Western calendar and the Christian calendar, is internationally the most widely used civil calendar.

It is named for Pope Gregory XIII, who introduced it in October 1582.

It literally means “The Watcher Calendar” and is anchored at the birth of Christ.

The Heart of the Reformation  ::  The Bible Belt 

The Reformation which broke away from Rome 

and false teachings occurred in 1517.  

The Phoenix Rising

Greek historian Herodotus wrote that priests of ancient Heliopolis described the “Phoenix” as living for 500 years before building and lighting its own funeral pyre. The offspring of the birds would then fly from the ashes, and carry priests to the temple altar in Heliopolis. In ancient Greece it was said the bird does not eat fruit, but frankincense and aromatic gums. It also collects cinnamon and myrrh for its nest in preparation for its fiery death.

2017 – 1517 = 500 years

17And the dragon waxed wroth with the woman, and went away to make war with the rest of her seed, that keep the commandments of God, and hold the testimony of Jesus:

Matthew 12: Good and Bad Fruit

33Make a tree good and its fruit will be good, or make a tree bad and its fruit will be bad; for a tree is known by its fruit. 34You brood of vipers, how can you who are evil say anything good? For out of the overflow of the heart, the mouth speaks. 35The good man brings good things out of his good store of treasure, and the evil man brings evil things out of his evil store of treasure. 36But I tell you that men will give an account on the day of judgment for every careless word they have spoken. 37For by your words you will be acquitted, and by your words you will be condemned.”

The Sign of Jonah

38Then some of the scribes and Pharisees said to Him, “Teacher, we want to see a sign from You.”  39Jesus replied, “A wicked and adulterous generation demands a sign, but none will be given it except the sign of the prophet Jonah. 40For just as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the great fish, so the Son of Man will be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.

In the belly of the beast

Unfortunately those false teachings have crept back in to our churches that we had originally broken away from and why God is calling out for us to correct our ways and make way for Him.

Please do not mistake what I am saying here.  I am not saying you have to live in the Southeastern United States to be saved.  Nor am I saying that everyone currently living here will be saved.  

I do, however, firmly believe this is the area God will use as an example of where the spiritual kingdom of Israel is located on a map during this time.  Why? because this area became the most densely populated region that resulted from previous obedience to God’s Word and correction to false teachings.   Unfortunately though, our churches have been invaded.  This is why Jesus gave the letters to the 7 churches.  He knew this would happen and He is calling us to correct ourselves again.

Also it is known as the “Bible Belt” and we are Ephraim who was born under Orion’s Belt.

NUMBERS 5

21then the priest shall cause the woman to swear with the oath of cursing, and the priest shall say unto the woman, Jehovah make thee a curse and an oath among thy people, when Jehovah doth make thy thigh to fall away, and thy body to swell; 22and this water that causeth the curse shall go into thy bowels, and make thy body to swell, and thy thigh to fall away. And the woman shall say, Amen, Amen.

MATTHEW 27

39And they that passed by railed on him, wagging their heads,

 ➡    They cursed and denounced him, at the very timing of the curse going forth.

 ➡    What curse is that?

NUMBERS 5

21then the priest shall cause the woman to swear with the oath of cursing, and the priest shall say unto the woman, Jehovah make thee a curse and an oath among thy people, when Jehovah doth make thy thigh to fall away, and thy abdomen to swell;

 ➡    The thigh is representative a person’s word or credibility, or even authority. Used in matters of keeping one’s word. This is why we see oath’s given why a man’s hand was under the others thigh.

GENESIS 24

9And the servant put his hand under the thigh of Abraham his master, and sware to him concerning this matter.

 

GENESIS 47

29And the time drew near that Israel must die: and he called his son Joseph, and said unto him, If now I have found favor in thy sight, put, I pray thee, thy hand under my thigh, and deal kindly and truly with me: bury me not, I pray thee, in Egypt;

 ➡     The thigh wasting away was representative of ones credibility being useless. When Jesus did not give the crowds proof of being the Son of God, His credibility meant nothing.

MATTHEW 27

40and saying, Thou that destroyest the temple, and buildest it in three days, save thyself: if thou art the Son of God, come down from the cross. 41In like manner also the chief priests mocking him , with the scribes and elders, said, 42He saved others; himself he cannot save. He is the King of Israel; let him now come down from the cross, and we will believe on him. 43He trusteth on God; let him deliver him now, if he desireth him: for he said, I am the Son of God

 ➡     He held no credibility with them.  Yet there will be no mistaking his word, credibility, or authority, at his second coming.  His thigh will make it very clear.

REVELATION 19

15And out of his mouth proceedeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness of the wrath of God, the Almighty.16And he hath on his garment and on his thigh a name written, KINGS OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.

 ➡    The strongest muscle in the body is the quadricep, in the thigh.  How did his thighs waste away on the cross?  It was the thighs that one used in raising themselves up,  in order to breathe when being crucified.  After all of this suffering and torture that happened before ever seeing the cross. Then after several hours on the cross, constantly lifting himself up, on the cross, just to struggle to breath, his thighs finally gave way.  Which shows how he suffocated after saying, “It is finished”.  Because truly his thighs could lift him no more.  There was no strength left and he suffocated as a result of his thighs wasting away.

NUMBERS 5

21then the priest shall cause the woman to swear with the oath of cursing, and the priest shall say unto the woman, Jehovah make thee a curse and an oath among thy people, when Jehovah doth make thy thigh to fall away, and thy abdomen to swell;

 ➡    Our lungs expand towards the least resistance given.  In a relaxed state, that expansion is downward.  Our Savior had been up all night in a mock trial, plus we know he was stressed because his sweat was mixed with blood, the night of praying in the garden.  He didn’t enter this day on a good night’s sleep, on a nice mattress. So he has been up over 24 hours,after being smacked around by the Pharisees, and having his beard pulled, he gets beat up by the Roman soldiers, then presented to his people, with a crown of thorns. Then he gets flogged to the point of hardly having human recognition. 

Are you following the yellow brick road with Dororthy?  Or are you on the Blood stained path.

ISAIAH 52

14Like as many were astonished at thee (his visage was so marred more than any man, and his form more than the sons of men),

 ➡    Then he has to carry the weight of his own cross.  Every breath he took on the cross was in weakness, not strength. His lungs filled with fluids while hanging on the cross why in the hands of the Romans.  The shear weight of the lungs would have been enough to push down on the abdomen and push it out.  His stomach  was pushed out just like in the curse given to the unfaithful wife in Numbers 5:21. 

27And when he hath made her drink the water, then it shall come to pass, if she be defiled, and have committed a trespass against her husband, that the water that causeth the curse shall enter into her and become bitter, and her body shall swell, and her thigh shall fall away: and the woman shall be a curse among her people.

 ➡    He endured bitter suffering on the cross and the punishment of the unfaithful spouse.

NUMBERS 5

23And the priest shall write these curses in a book, and he shall blot them out into the water of bitterness:24and he shall make the woman drink the water of bitterness that causeth the curse; and the water that causeth the curse shall enter into her and become bitter.

 ➡    He took the curse mentioned in Verse 23 and nailed it to the cross, just like it was mentioned in Colossians 2:14

JOHN 19 : THE DEATH OF JESUS

28After this Jesus, knowing that all things are now finished, that the scripture might be accomplished, saith, I thirst. 29There was set there a vessel full of vinegar: so they put a sponge full of the vinegar upon hyssop, and brought it to his mouth.

 ➡   What scripture is fulfilled here?

➡    How many times did he say this, when he only said it because the scripture said it would happen that way?  Like the donkey. Did He need the donkey to go into Jerusalem? Of course not. He did it because the scripture said it was going to happen that way. Things that were prophesied, he had to make sure they happened, so those around would have no excuse for not seeing prophecy taking place right before their eyes. Yet other prophecies that required action from others were clearly orchestrated by the spirit.

JOHN 19

24They said therefore one to another, Let us not rend it, but cast lots for it, whose it shall be: that the scripture might be fulfilled, which saith, They parted my garments among them, And upon my vesture did they cast lots.

34howbeit one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side, and straightway there came out blood and water. 35And he that hath seen hath borne witness, and his witness is true: and he knoweth that he saith true, that ye also may believe. 36For these things came to pass, that the scripture might be fulfilled, A bone of him shall not be broken. 37And again another scripture saith, They shall look on him whom they pierced.

➡    So what scripture needed to be fulfilled from John 19:28 that He needed to drink something?What was He given to drink? Wine Vinegar from a sponge. In essence, that which is bitter.

COLOSSIANS 2

13And you, being dead through your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, you, I say , did he make alive together with him, having forgiven us all our trespasses;14having blotted out the bond written in ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us: and he hath taken it out that way, nailing it to the cross;

 ➡    He enabled his wife to be wiped clean of her guilt and be remarried at the same time.

 ➡    She can now be justified.  

 ➡    Justified – declared or made righteous in the sight of God. 

 ➡    Just-if-I’d never done it

.

Ju [dah] – Piter [rock] “Rock of Judah”

Hebrew name for Jupiter is “Zedek”.

 ➡   righteousness

➡   justify

➡   (Just-if-I’d never done it)

➡   properly restored

➡   proved righteous

➡   vindicated

➡   acquitted

➡    Melchizedek is a compound word that contains this Hebrew word Zedek, the Hebrew name for our planet named Jupiter. Melchizedek means either “righteousness is my king” or “king of righteousness”. (Hebrews 7:2). Here, one may recall that Abraham, the father of faith, paid tithes to Melchizedek. Zedek represents both Yahweh our righteousness and Y’shua (Jesus Christ) who is a high priest forever after the order of Melchizedek.

GENESIS 14 : ABRAM RESCUES LOT

13And there came one that had escaped, and told Abram the Hebrew; for he dwelled in the plain of Mamre the Amorite, brother of Eshcol, and brother of Aner: and these were confederate with Abram. 14And when Abram heard that his brother was taken captive, he armed his trained servants, born in his own house, three hundred and eighteen (318), and pursued them to Dan. 15And he divided himself against them, he and his servants, by night, and smote them, and pursued them to Hobah, which is on the left hand of Damascus. 16And he brought back all the goods, and also brought again his brother Lot, and his goods, and the women also, and the people.

Melchizedek Blesses Abram

17And the king of Sodom went out to meet him after his return from the slaughter of Chedorlaomer, and of the kings that were with him, at the valley of Shaveh, which is the king’s dale. 18And Melchizedek king of Salem brought forth bread and wine: and he was the priest of the most high God. 19And he blessed him, and said, Blessed be Abram of the most high God, possessor of heaven and earth: 20And blessed be the most high God, which has delivered your enemies into your hand. And he gave him tithes of all.

 

GENESIS 15 : GOD’S COVENANT WITH ABRAM

1 After these things the word of Jehovah came unto Abram in a vision, saying, Fear not, Abram: I am thy shield, and thy exceeding great reward. 

➡   Jupiter is the planet that shields us from Asteroids.

➡   Considered the vacuum cleaner of the Solar System.

HEBREWS 7 : MELCHIZEDEK AND ABRAHAM

1For this Melchisedec, king of Salem, priest of the most high God, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings, and blessed him;2To whom also Abraham gave a tenth part of all; first being by interpretation King of righteousness, and after that also King of Salem, which is, King of peace; 3Without father, without mother, without descent, having neither beginning of days, nor end of life; but made like to the Son of God; stays a priest continually. 4Now consider how great this man was, to whom even the patriarch Abraham gave the tenth of the spoils. 5And truly they that are of the sons of Levi, who receive the office of the priesthood, have a commandment to take tithes of the people according to the law, that is, of their brothers, though they come out of the loins of Abraham: 6But he whose descent is not counted from them received tithes of Abraham, and blessed him that had the promises. 7And without all contradiction the less is blessed of the better. 8And here men that die receive tithes; but there he receives them, of whom it is witnessed that he lives. 9And as I may so say, Levi also, who receives tithes, paid tithes in Abraham. 10For he was yet in the loins of his father, when Melchisedec met him.

JESUS A PRIEST LIKE MELCHIZEDEK

11If therefore perfection were by the Levitical priesthood, (for under it the people received the law,) what further need was there that another priest should rise after the order of Melchisedek, and not be called after the order of Aaron?12For the priesthood being changed, there is made of necessity a change also of the law. 13For he of whom these things are spoken pertains to another tribe, of which no man gave attendance at the altar. 14For it is evident that our Lord sprang out of Juda; of which tribe Moses spoke nothing concerning priesthood. 15And it is yet far more evident: for that after the similitude of Melchisedec there rises another priest, 16Who is made, not after the law of a carnal commandment, but after the power of an endless life.

17For he testifies, You are a priest for ever after the Order of Melchisedek. 18For there is truly a cancellation of the commandment going before for the weakness and unprofitableness thereof. 19For the law made nothing perfect, but the bringing in of a better hope did; by the which we draw near to God.20And inasmuch as not without an oath he was made priest: 21(For those priests were made without an oath; but this with an oath by him that said to him, The Lord swore and will not repent, You are a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec:) 22By so much was Jesus made a surety of a better testament. 23And they truly were many priests, because they were not suffered to continue by reason of death: 24But this man, because he continues ever, has an unchangeable priesthood.25Why he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come to God by him, seeing he ever lives to make intercession for them. 26For such an high priest became us, who is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and made higher than the heavens; 27Who needs not daily, as those high priests, to offer up sacrifice, first for his own sins, and then for the people’s: for this he did once, when he offered up himself. 28For the law makes men high priests which have infirmity; but the word of the oath, which was since the law, makes the Son, who is consecrated for ever more.

A plumb bob or a plummet is a weight, usually with a pointed tip on the bottom, that is suspended from a string and used as a vertical reference line, or plumb-line.  It is essentially the vertical equivalent of a “water level”.  The instrument has been used since at least the time of ancient Egypt to ensure that constructions are “plumb”, or vertical.   

God wants us to align ourselves with the plumb line that He set.  What Jesus Christ did on the cross.  He searches our heart, our thoughts, and our intent.  

This time around the building we have been helping them construct a technological building.

 Still leaving us exhausted and tired.

LUKE 13 : JESUS HEALS A WOMAN ON THE SABBATH

10And he was teaching in one of the synagogues on the sabbath. 11And, behold, there was a woman which had a spirit of infirmity 18 years, and was bowed together, and could in no wise lift up herself. 12And when Jesus saw her, he called her to him, and said to her, Woman, you are loosed from your infirmity. 13And he laid his hands on her: and immediately she was made straight, and glorified God.14And the ruler of the synagogue answered with indignation, because that Jesus had healed on the sabbath day, and said to the people, There are six days in which men ought to work: in them therefore come and be healed, and not on the sabbath day. 15The Lord then answered him, and said, You hypocrite, does not each one of you on the sabbath loose his ox or his ass from the stall, and lead him away to watering?16And ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan has bound, see, these eighteen years, be loosed from this bond on the sabbath day?17And when he had said these things, all his adversaries were ashamed: and all the people rejoiced for all the glorious things that were done by him.

ZECHARIAH 9 : THE LORD WILL SAVE HIS PEOPLE

(Isaiah 45:14-25)

14And the LORD shall be seen over them, and his arrow shall go forth as the lightning: and the LORD God shall blow the trumpet, and shall go with whirlwinds of the south.

15The LORD of hosts shall defend them; and they shall devour, and subdue with sling stones; and they shall drink, and make a noise as through wine; and they shall be filled like bowls, and as the corners of the altar.

16And the LORD their God shall save them in that day as the flock of his people: for they shall be as the stones of a crown, lifted up as an ensign on his land.

17For how great is his goodness, and how great is his beauty! corn shall make the young men cheerful, and new wine the maids.

 

 

ZECHARIAH 10 : JUDAH AND ISRAEL WILL BE RESTORED

1Ask you of the LORD rain in the time of the latter rain; so the LORD shall make bright clouds, and give them showers of rain, to every one grass in the field.

2For the idols have spoken vanity, and the diviners have seen a lie, and have told false dreams; they comfort in vain: therefore they went their way as a flock, they were troubled, because there was no shepherd.

3My anger was kindled against the shepherds, and I punished the goats: for the LORD of hosts has visited his flock the house of Judah, and has made them as his goodly horse in the battle.

4Out of him came forth the corner, out of him the nail, out of him the battle bow, out of him every oppressor together.

5And they shall be as mighty men, which tread down their enemies in the mire of the streets in the battle: and they shall fight, because the LORD is with them, and the riders on horses shall be confounded.

6And I will strengthen the house of Judah, and I will save the house of Joseph, and I will bring them again to place them; for I have mercy on them: and they shall be as though I had not cast them off: for I am the LORD their God, and will hear them.

7And they of Ephraim shall be like a mighty man, and their heart shall rejoice as through wine: yes, their children shall see it, and be glad; their heart shall rejoice in the LORD.

8I will hiss for them, and gather them; for I have redeemed them: and they shall increase as they have increased.

 

JEREMIAH 31 : MOURNING TURNED TO JOY

(Matthew 2:16-18)

1At the same time, said the LORD, will I be the God of all the families of Israel, and they shall be my people.

2Thus said the LORD, The people which were left of the sword found grace in the wilderness; even Israel, when I went to cause him to rest.

3The LORD has appeared of old to me, saying, Yes, I have loved you with an everlasting love: therefore with loving kindness have I drawn you.

4Again I will build you, and you shall be built, O virgin of Israel: you shall again be adorned with your tabrets, and shall go forth in the dances of them that make merry.

5You shall yet plant vines on the mountains of Samaria: the planters shall plant, and shall eat them as common things.

6For there shall be a day, that the watchmen on the mount Ephraim shall cry, Arise you, and let us go up to Zion to the LORD our God.

7For thus said the LORD; Sing with gladness for Jacob, and shout among the chief of the nations: publish you, praise you, and say, O LORD, save your people, the remnant of Israel.

8Behold, I will bring them from the north country, and gather them from the coasts of the earth, and with them the blind and the lame, the woman with child and her that travails with child together: a great company shall return thither.

9They shall come with weeping, and with supplications will I lead them: I will cause them to walk by the rivers of waters in a straight way, wherein they shall not stumble: for I am a father to Israel, and Ephraim is my firstborn.

10Hear the word of the LORD, O you nations, and declare it in the isles afar off, and say, He that scattered Israel will gather him, and keep him, as a shepherd does his flock.

11For the LORD has redeemed Jacob, and ransomed him from the hand of him that was stronger than he.

12Therefore they shall come and sing in the height of Zion, and shall flow together to the goodness of the LORD, for wheat, and for wine, and for oil, and for the young of the flock and of the herd: and their soul shall be as a watered garden; and they shall not sorrow any more at all.

13Then shall the virgin rejoice in the dance, both young men and old together: for I will turn their mourning into joy, and will comfort them, and make them rejoice from their sorrow.

14And I will satiate the soul of the priests with fatness, and my people shall be satisfied with my goodness, said the LORD.

15Thus said the LORD; A voice was heard in Ramah, lamentation, and bitter weeping; Rahel weeping for her children refused to be comforted for her children, because they were not.

16Thus said the LORD; Refrain your voice from weeping, and your eyes from tears: for your work shall be rewarded, said the LORD; and they shall come again from the land of the enemy.

17And there is hope in your end, said the LORD, that your children shall come again to their own border.

18I have surely heard Ephraim bemoaning himself thus; You have chastised me, and I was chastised, as a bullock unaccustomed to the yoke: turn you me, and I shall be turned; for you are the LORD my God.

19Surely after that I was turned, I repented; and after that I was instructed, I smote on my thigh: I was ashamed, yes, even confounded, because I did bear the reproach of my youth.

20Is Ephraim my dear son? is he a pleasant child? for since I spoke against him, I do earnestly remember him still: therefore my bowels are troubled for him; I will surely have mercy on him, said the LORD.

21Set you up markers, make you high heaps: set your heart toward the highway, even the way which you went: turn again, O virgin of Israel, turn again to these your cities.

22How long will you go about, O you backsliding daughter? for the LORD has created a new thing in the earth, A woman shall compass a man.

23Thus said the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; As yet they shall use this speech in the land of Judah and in the cities thereof, when I shall bring again their captivity; The LORD bless you, O habitation of justice, and mountain of holiness.

24And there shall dwell in Judah itself, and in all the cities thereof together, farmers, and they that go forth with flocks. 25For I have satiated the weary soul, and I have replenished every sorrowful soul. 26On this I awaked, and beheld; and my sleep was sweet to me.

27Behold, the days come, said the LORD, that I will sow the house of Israel and the house of Judah with the seed of man, and with the seed of beast. 28And it shall come to pass, that like as I have watched over them, to pluck up, and to break down, and to throw down, and to destroy, and to afflict; so will I watch over them, to build, and to plant, said the LORD.

29In those days they shall say no more, The fathers have eaten a sour grape, and the children’s teeth are set on edge.

30But every one shall die for his own iniquity: every man that eats the sour grape, his teeth shall be set on edge.

A NEW COVENANT

31Behold, the days come, said the LORD, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah: 32Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which my covenant they broke, although I was an husband to them, said the LORD:

33But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, said the LORD, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people. 34And they shall teach no more every man his neighbor, and every man his brother, saying, Know the LORD: for they shall all know me, from the least of them to the greatest of them, said the LORD: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.

35Thus said the LORD, which gives the sun for a light by day, and the ordinances of the moon and of the stars for a light by night, which divides the sea when the waves thereof roar; The LORD of hosts is his name:

36If those ordinances depart from before me, said the LORD, then the seed of Israel also shall cease from being a nation before me for ever.

37Thus said the LORD; If heaven above can be measured, and the foundations of the earth searched out beneath, I will also cast off all the seed of Israel for all that they have done, said the LORD.

38Behold, the days come, said the LORD, that the city shall be built to the LORD from the tower of Hananeel to the gate of the corner. 39And the measuring line shall yet go forth over against it on the hill Gareb, and shall compass about to Goath. 40And the whole valley of the dead bodies, and of the ashes, and all the fields to the brook of Kidron, to the corner of the horse gate toward the east, shall be holy to the LORD; it shall not be plucked up, nor thrown down any more for ever.

 

JEREMIAH 32 : JEREMIAH BUYS HANAMEL’S FIELD

1The word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD in the tenth year of Zedekiah king of Judah, which was the eighteenth year of Nebuchadrezzar. 2For then the king of Babylon’s army besieged Jerusalem: and Jeremiah the prophet was shut up in the court of the prison, which was in the king of Judah’s house. 3For Zedekiah king of Judah had shut him up, saying, Why do you prophesy, and say, Thus said the LORD, Behold, I will give this city into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall take it; 4And Zedekiah king of Judah shall not escape out of the hand of the Chaldeans, but shall surely be delivered into the hand of the king of Babylon, and shall speak with him mouth to mouth, and his eyes shall behold his eyes; 5And he shall lead Zedekiah to Babylon, and there shall he be until I visit him, said the LORD: though you fight with the Chaldeans, you shall not prosper.

6And Jeremiah said, The word of the LORD came to me, saying, 7Behold, Hanameel the son of Shallum your uncle shall come to you saying, Buy you my field that is in Anathoth: for the right of redemption is your to buy it. 8So Hanameel my uncle’s son came to me in the court of the prison according to the word of the LORD, and said to me, Buy my field, I pray you, that is in Anathoth, which is in the country of Benjamin: for the right of inheritance is yours, and the redemption is yours; buy it for yourself. Then I knew that this was the word of the LORD.

9And I bought the field of Hanameel my uncle’s son, that was in Anathoth, and weighed him the money, even 17 shekels of silver. 10And I subscribed the evidence, and sealed it, and took witnesses, and weighed him the money in the balances. 11So I took the evidence of the purchase, both that which was sealed according to the law and custom, and that which was open: 12And I gave the evidence of the purchase to Baruch the son of Neriah, the son of Maaseiah, in the sight of Hanameel my uncle’s son, and in the presence of the witnesses that subscribed the book of the purchase, before all the Jews that sat in the court of the prison. 13And I charged Baruch before them, saying,14Thus said the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Take these evidences, this evidence of the purchase, both which is sealed, and this evidence which is open; and put them in an earthen vessel, that they may continue many days. 15For thus said the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Houses and fields and vineyards shall be possessed again in this land.

Marriage of the Lamb

 

Matthew 22 : The Parable of the Banquet

(Luke 14:15-24)

1Once again, Jesus spoke to them in parables: 2“The kingdom of heaven is like a king who prepared a wedding banquet for his son. 3He sent his servants to call those he had invited to the banquet, but they refused to come.  4Again, he sent other servants and said, ‘Tell those who have been invited that I have prepared my dinner. My oxen and fatlings have been killed, and everything is ready. Come to the wedding banquet.’  5But they paid no attention and went away, one to his field, and another to his business. 6The rest seized his servants, mistreated them, and killed them.  7The king was enraged. He sent his troops to destroy those murderers and burn their city. 8Then he said to his servants, ‘The wedding banquet is ready, but those I invited were not worthy. 9Go therefore to the crossroads and invite to the banquet as many as you can find.’

10So the servants went out into the streets and gathered everyone they could find, both evil and good, and the wedding hall was filled with guests.  11But when the king came in to see the guests, he spotted a man who was not dressed in wedding clothes. 12‘Friend,’ he asked, ‘how did you get in here without wedding clothes?’  But the man was speechless.  13Then the king told the servants, ‘Tie him hand and foot and throw him outside into the outer darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’ 14For many are called, but few are chosen.”

 

REVELATION 19 : MARRIAGE OF THE LAMB

7“Let us rejoice and be glad and give the glory to Him,

for the marriage of the Lamb has come and His bride has made herself ready.”

8It was given to her to clothe herself in fine linen, bright and clean; for the fine linen is the righteous acts of the saints. 

 Esther is the 17th book in the bible and foreshadows the Sign in the Heavens.

“For such a time as this”

The Story of Esther involves Jews dispersed across the Persian Empire.  Esther accurately characterize’s the experience of Jews in “Diaspora”.  On one hand the Jews are a positive contribution to their host countries and are often highly successful, but on the other hand, they are relentlessly and unjustly persecuted.

 ➡    She spends 6 months purifying herself for the king.  

 ➡    The Feast of Purim is based of the book of Esther is exactly 6th months before 9/11

 ➡    Esther means “star,” queen who delivered Israel.  

 ➡    Represents one of the most significant symbols of Jesus, ” a star would rise out of Jacob”

 ➡    Esther, an orphan, would end up the queen of the greatest empire of the 5th century.

 ➡    The time we are in now is the beginning of the 5th Age.

In Esther the Jewish people were scattered around the Persian Empire. It provided a model of how Jewish people could not merely survive but also thrive in a Gentile environment. It showed how Jewish people could effectively serve in positions of high responsibility while maintaining their Jewish identity and their commitment to the God of Israel. It demonstrated that the God of Israel was still able to redeem His people in their oppression, whether they were in Egypt, Israel, or Persia. Jews in exile would be tempted to find lack of evidence of God’s overt presence to be evidence for His actual absence. The book of Esther counters this notion, depicting God’s providence as ruling even the events of foreign lands during exile.

Who but God, could bring about such a powerful

reversal through the “weakness” of a young woman?

Revelation 12 : The Woman and the Dragon

1And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars: 2And she being with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered.

5And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up to God, and to his throne. 6And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she has a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and three score days.

 ➡    The woman is able to give birth because of Deuteronomy 5:28:

Numbers 5 : THE ADULTERY TEST

28 And if the woman be not defiled, but be clean; then she shall be free, and shall conceive seed.

Deuteronomy 17 : Election and Duties of Kings
14When you are come to the land which the LORD your God gives you, and shall possess it, and shall dwell therein, and shall say, I will set a king over me, like as all the nations that are about me; 15You shall in any wise set him king over you, whom the LORD your God shall choose: one from among your brothers shall you set king over you: you may not set a stranger over you, which is not your brother. 16But he shall not multiply horses to himself, nor cause the people to return to Egypt, to the end that he should multiply horses: for as much as the LORD has said to you, You shall from now on return no more that way. 17Neither shall he multiply wives to himself, that his heart turn not away: neither shall he greatly multiply to himself silver and gold.

18And it shall be, when he sits on the throne of his kingdom, that he shall write him a copy of this law in a book out of that which is before the priests the Levites: 19And it shall be with him, and he shall read therein all the days of his life: that he may learn to fear the LORD his God, to keep all the words of this law and these statutes, to do them: 20That his heart be not lifted up above his brothers, and that he turn not aside from the commandment, to the right hand, or to the left: to the end that he may prolong his days in his kingdom, he, and his children, in the middle of Israel.

 

Prophecy of

Northern Kingdom

Lost Sheep

 

EZEKIAL 4 : THE SIEGE OF JERUSALEM PREDICTED

1Thou also, son of man, take thee a tile, and lay it before thee, and portray upon it a city, even Jerusalem: 2and lay siege against it, and build forts against it, and cast up a mound against it; set camps also against it, and plant battering rams against it round about. 3And take thou unto thee an iron pan, and set it for a wall of iron between thee and the city: and set thy face toward it, and it shall be besieged, and thou shalt lay siege against it. This shall be a sign to the house of Israel.

4Moreover lie thou upon thy left side, and lay the iniquity of the house of Israel upon it; according to the number of the days that thou shalt lie upon it, thou shalt bear their iniquity. 5For I have appointed the years of their iniquity to be unto thee a number of days, even 390 days: so shalt thou bear the iniquity of the house of Israel.

 ➡    The Northern Kingdom should have begun being restored after 390 years, which is 331 BC.  However, history shows that the Northern Kingdom never returned to their land. 

 ➡    What else does Scripture give us that can shed light on this?

LEVITICUS 26 : PUNISHMENTS FOR DISOBEDIENCE

14But if ye will not hearken unto me, and will not do all these commandments; 15and if ye shall reject my statutes, and if your soul abhor mine ordinances, so that ye will not do all my commandments, but break my covenant; 16I also will do this unto you: I will appoint terror over you, even consumption and fever, that shall consume the eyes, and make the soul to pine away; and ye shall sow your seed in vain, for your enemies shall eat it.17And I will set my face against you, and ye shall be smitten before your enemies: they that hate you shall rule over you; and ye shall flee when none pursueth you. 18And if ye will not yet for these things hearken unto me, then I will chastise you 7 times more for your sins. 21And if ye walk contrary unto me, and will not hearken unto me, I will bring seven times more plagues upon you according to your sins. 

Which is after 2 days and in the 3rd of the punishment. 

Hosea 6 : The Response to God’s Rebuke

1“Come, let us return to the LORD.
            For He has torn us, but He will heal us;
            He has wounded us, but He will bandage us.

      2“He will revive us after 2 days;
            He will raise us up on the 3rd day,
            That we may live before Him.

      3“So let us know, let us press on to know the LORD.
            His going forth is as certain as the dawn;
            And He will come to us like the rain,
            Like the spring rain watering the earth.”

      4What shall I do with you, O Ephraim?
            What shall I do with you, O Judah?
            For your loyalty is like a morning cloud
            And like the dew which goes away early.

 

 ➡    2009 marked the beginning of the process of the hearts of the Northern Kingdom coming back to Him in large numbers.

 ➡     Thus concluding the Northern Kingdom’s judgement. 

 ➡    The work of Christ started the restoration but its in the 3rd day that He completes the restoration. 

 ➡    After 2 days he will revive us; on the third day he will restore us, that we may live in his presence. 

 ➡     He is bringing people back to his ways with His Law written on our hearts.

 ➡    God did this on purpose.   He knew we would be lacking in understanding how the Law of Moses and the Gospel all tie together.  He wanted us to search the scriptures to see how His Law cannot be broken and that every one of his promises are true.

LEVITICUS 12 : PURIFICATION AFTER CHILDBIRTH

1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 2 Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, If a woman have conceived seed, and born a man child: then she shall be unclean seven days; according to the days of the separation for her infirmity shall she be unclean. 3 And in the 8th day the flesh of his foreskin shall be circumcised. 4 And she shall then continue in the blood of her purifying 33 days; she shall touch no hallowed thing, nor come into the sanctuary, until the days of her purifying be fulfilled.

 ➡    Circumcised the 8th day : (2017 – 2009 = 8 years)

 ➡    33 days of purifying : Jesus spent 33 years on Earth

As I mentioned in my Testimony, I found all of this out on the same day I played the Escape Game, so when I saw this I just started crying at my desk at work, because this was the exact time of my divorce and the exact time period when I really started seeking Christ.

Both of my Granddad’s past away in 2009 who were strong followers of Christ.  When I went to their funeral’s and I saw the drove’s of people that came, and how each one told me how much they meant to them, and how much they impacted their lives, it really made me question the way I was living my life, because I knew if I had died that day I wouldn’t have the same response.

He placed a level of conviction in my heart that I had never felt.   I slowly started to turn every aspect of my life over to him,  and He, piece by piece, started repairing the destruction I had created in my life.

 

 

Luke 12:32 : Do not worry

29And seek not you what you shall eat, or what you shall drink, neither be you of doubtful mind. 30For all these things do the nations of the world seek after: and your Father knows that you have need of these things.

31But rather seek you the kingdom of God; and all these things shall be added to you.

32Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom. 

 

 John 14 : Jesus Comforts the Disciples

1Let not your heart be troubled: you believe in God, believe also in me. 2In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you.  I go to prepare a place for you. 3And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you to myself; that where I am, there you may be also. 4And where I go you know, and the way you know.

 

Psalm 113 : The Lord Exalts the Humble

Praise the LORD!

Praise, O servants of the LORD,

Praise the name of the LORD

Blessed be the name of the LORD

From this time forth and forever.

From the rising of the sun to its setting

The name of the LORD is to be praised.

The LORD is high above all nations;

His glory is above the heavens. 

Who is like the LORD our God,

Who is enthroned on high, 

Who humbles Himself to behold

The things that are in heaven and in the earth?

He raises the poor from the dust

And lifts the needy from the ash heap,  (“Ephraim” means : double ash-heap;  doubly fruitful) 

To make them sit with princes,

With the princes of His people.

He makes the barren woman abide in the house

As a joyful mother of children.

Praise the LORD! 

That’s My King

 

I wonder, do you know him?

 

Every knew will bow

 

Every tongue will confess

 

 

 

 

DEUTERONOMY 30 : RESTORATION PROMISED

1And it shall come to pass, when all these things are come upon thee, the blessing and the curse, which I have set before thee, and thou shalt call them to mind among all the nations, whither the LORD thy God hath driven thee, 2and shalt return unto the LORD thy God, and shalt obey his voice according to all that I command thee this day, thou and thy children, with all thine heart, and with all thy soul;3that then the LORD thy God will turn thy captivity, and have compassion upon thee, and will return and gather thee from all the peoples, whither the LORD thy God hath scattered thee.4If any of thine outcasts be in the uttermost parts of heaven, from thence will the LORD thy God gather thee, and from thence will he fetch thee: 5and the LORD thy God will bring thee into the land which thy fathers possessed, and thou shalt possess it; and he will do thee good, and multiply thee above thy fathers.
