Pentecost, a Son & Leaving Gomorrah

26/5/2023

I will keep this short. Pentecost may end in judgement. But it will also end in glory. The final Pentecost may see the end of the church age and the end of our nations. But the end is also a new beginning. Jacob shall soon return home. We must keep our eyes focused on Yeshua as the waves mount and the lights go out.

The Torah gave us a blueprint for the future. The bible tells us the end is in the beginning, Isaiah 46:10. In Genesis chapter 18 the Lord visited Abraham to promise him a son. Then He proceeded to destroy Sodom and Gomorrah and the so on. We will talk about Gomorrah (עֲמֹרָה) in a moment.

There are 50 days of counting the Omer, עמר, that get us to Pentecost (Shavuot) from Firstfruits. The name ‘firstfruits‘, bikkurim, can also mean ‘firstborn‘. We are told to count from Firstfruits to Pentecost because there is a spiritual connection between them. There is a connection between to the two feasts. Of course Yeshua, the Son of God, rose from the dead on Firstfruits and the Holy Spirit came on Pentecost and the Congregation of Israel (Church) began in earnest. Both feasts are about sons. Prophetically we see that the promise to Abraham to have a son is actually being fulfilled through the church age through the good news of Yeshua HaMashiach.

Pentecost is the central feast of the 7 feasts. It has been partially fulfilled with the outpouring of the Holy Spirit in Acts chapter 2 but we are still awaiting the full outpouring in the latter days that Joel describes where the Sun turns to darkness and the moon to blood and there are palmtrees of smoke.

The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and the terrible day of the LORD come.
Joel 2:31

And so this Pentecost (or perhaps maybe next year or later) we could see the final outpouring happening in a time of judgement, even national calamity, invasion and world war. We will need His Holy Spirit more and more. I don’t want all the horrible stuff but I don’t want to live in lala land either. So it is so important for us not to get discouraged but trust in Him while we are being shaken. The Lord is going to pour His Spirit out. We must persevere in hope until then. It is obvious to many that we are already in a time of judgement. As I have been saying for a while we could see things change suddenly. Is this 50th day of the Omer count going to be one to remember or is it later? 50 is all about the Jubilee. Is this a Jubilee also?

The word Omer also means sheaf.

Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye be come into the land which I give unto you, and shall reap the harvest thereof, then ye shall bring a sheaf <עֹמֶר> of the firstfruits of your harvest unto the priest:
דַּבֵּר אֶל־בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל וְאָמַרְתָּ אֲלֵהֶם כִּֽי־תָבֹאוּ אֶל־הָאָרֶץ אֲשֶׁר אֲנִי נֹתֵן לָכֶם וּקְצַרְתֶּם אֶת־קְצִירָהּ וַהֲבֵאתֶם אֶת־עֹמֶר רֵאשִׁית קְצִירְכֶם אֶל־ הַכֹּהֵֽן׃
Leviticus 23:10

The word for Omer, עמר, with the letters rearranged spell Gomorrah, ־עֲמֹרָה (in Hebrew). The 50th day of the Omer will usher in destruction upon the wicked cities of our generation. The Holy Spirit will be poured out at a time of judgement for the Lord's sons.

Then the LORD rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the LORD out of heaven;
וַֽיהוָה הִמְטִיר עַל־סְדֹם וְעַל־עֲמֹרָה גָּפְרִית וָאֵשׁ מֵאֵת יְהוָה מִן־ הַשָּׁמָֽיִם׃
Genesis 19:24

So again when the work of Pentecost is completed then Gomorrah will be destroyed. Just like when the Lord visited Abraham to promise him a son and then destroy Sodom and Gomorrah.

Just as the work of building the church began on Pentecost with the former rain, so will it end with the latter rain outpouring in a time of judgement.

Wounding us to get our attention before His return

I am not trying to scare anyone, I am actually trying to give fellow believers hope. So that when we see the hammer fall on our nations then we should look up because it is the beginning not the end. At the end of every end is a new beginning. We are going home through rapture and exodus.

People are dying from the poke in the arm.

The Lord will even heal the blood of his people.

For I will cleanse their blood that I have not cleansed: for the Lord dwelleth in Zion. *
Joel 3:21

Now we know why he would cleanse the blood. If He doesn’t then those infected will die.
The Lord allows such trials in order to refine us, to shake His people and get our attention. I get down too. I hurt too. I feel for folks no matter what they have done. There is not too many families that are not feeling pain. The Lord is shaking all of us.

All thy lovers have forgotten thee; they seek thee not; for I have wounded thee with the wound of an enemy, with the chastisement of a cruel one, for the multitude of thine iniquity; because thy sins were increased.
Jeremiah 30:14

Read all of Jeremiah 30 for context. I think we are in those days.The love of many is growing colder. We must be those that love more and hope more and trust in the Lord more. We need clinging faith.

The Lord is going to bring the remnant of his people from the USA. The Exodus will soon be upon us. So don’t look down, look up.

Pentecost (Shavuot) is all about the Son’s of God. As our nations turn to Sodom and Gomorrah we look to our faithful Saviour. His Kingdom is coming. Lord help us all to trust in Thee no matter what. Help us to keep the faith until the very end.

Love in Yeshua
and Chag Samaech

Introduction

The Lord God of Israel is on the move and so is the enemy of our souls. Since the 2020 Wuhan scam we have crossed into another world, a darker world. We have all been put on notice, if we have ears to hear, that we are definitely in the end times leading to the coming of the Lord as our governments seem hell bent on turning our nations into dictatorships. And most people follow along in lockstep, hell bent on trusting in man rather than God. How far along we are in the prophetic scheme of things is open to debate. At some point it will become clear.

My hope in writing this article is not to induce fear but rather to alert people to the lateness of the hour. I guess I have been doing a lot of that lately haven’t I? I maybe wrong about specifics of timing but I may not be too far off, time will tell.

I think we are living in times where things could unravel very quickly. Indeed they are beginning to unravel more quickly aren’t they? This unravelling includes the stuff we read in Matthew 24 which are the 4 horsemen of the Apocalypse. I believe we are in that time already and we have softly slipped into the Tribulation period without most knowing it. If so then at some point the storm will become apparent. If I am wrong then that too will become obvious in time.

But with regards to time I think we need to battle hard to maximise our time in prayer and fellowship with Yeshua and the Father. Also we should look to extricate ourselves from the system of ‘Babylon’ as much as possible. We will need to trust the Lord more for our healing than rely on hospitals, We will need to remove our children from the public school system. Get out of debt as much as possible (if this is still possible). Get out of the cities if you can, at least pray in that direction. Try to insulate your family as much as possible from a system that is falling apart anyway. In our weakness we need to rely much more on the Lord for miracles than rely on the arm of flesh or ‘the system‘. Come out of Babylon my people, Revelation 18:4. Receive not her (man made) plagues! The 2nd Exodus is not far away, something hardly anyone seems to want to know about but is very imminent, even as invasion is imminent. Do what you can. God will do what you can’t! Pray, pray, pray!

The 50 days of Counting the Omer from Firstfruits to Pentecost helps us to focus on how precious our time is. Let’s use it wisely. These 50 days should remind us about another 50, the Jubilee. It will be a Jubilee of judgement for good or evil depending on our deeds. These 50 days are about counting, “Teach us to number our days”. It is my belief that the Firstfruits rapture could happen at any moment. The Omer עמר, is a sheaf of Barley grain, that is waved at Fristfruits. At Pentecost we come to the Wheat harvest. The grain is seed, seed of the word of God. Those who receive God’s word in Yeshua’s name and keep it are Gods seed, the seed of Abraham by faith, Galatians 3:29. The Omer is also a dry measure and was used to measure how much Manna the children of Israel gathered each day, Exodus 16:16. The Manna was like a seed too, Exodus 16:31. So the Omer is about God’s seed in every way, His Word and His Children, the seed of the Woman. Soon the Lord shall begin to manifest who His seed is. They shall be as numerous as the stars of Heaven or the sand of the sea for multitude, Genesis 15:5. Satan has his seed too, the seed of the serpent. But the seed of the woman shall bruise the serpents head, Genesis 3:15, Romans 16:20.

For over a year I have been warning and alerting God’s people as to the lateness of the hour. I wonder if the Lord is finished warning. I am not ‘worn out’, but the people maybe ‘warned out’! At some point soon the Lord will suddenly move. I don’t know when.

I suspect World War and invasion could happen soon, even by Pentecost. That would be sudden wouldn’t it? It may not happen but it’s the sort of thing that could happen these days. We could also see the latter day outpouring of the Holy Spirit spoken of by Joel. But if it doesn’t happen at this time I still believe it is not far away. We should be getting out of Babylon in our hearts and circumstances as much as possible. I share my thoughts here.

Perverted Demonized Nations

Cheer up, God is in control, even the end of this world is in His Hands. There is a rest for the people of God. Don’t fret, but don’t sleep while the bridegroom tarries either. We should rest in Yeshua without worry. But we should be watching.

I guess you have noticed that things are falling apart? I know many of my readers would of course agree. But perhaps some new readers are still waking up? I ask everyone the question that I have been asking for some time, could at least the first four seals of Revelation 6 have already been opened? The human races blood was attacked in 2020. War in Ukraine has already begun. America is picking a fight externally while destroying herself internally. War with Russia and China is looming, Banks are collapsing, Food prices are going up, the borders are open to thugs, bandits and foreign armies dressed as civilians. Things have gradually gotten worse since early 2020. And the pace seems to be quickening.

Are the birthpangs of Matthew 24 about to hit with a thud? If so then we can’t vote them away, it’s beyond that now. Our leaders are corrupt. Our nations are morally rotten on the inside and our borders are collapsing on the outside. The enemy is not just at the gate, they are within and they are actually running our nations into oblivion as fast as they can. This is not just in the USA, it is everywhere. Our nations have become Sodom. Romans chapter 1 is being played out before us in our government and in our churches. Our nations are being led by reprobate minds because we have rejected God. It’s not just evolution taught in schools, it’s now ‘drag queen story hour’. We are being given over to depravity. We are seeing the legalising of evil with the sexual perverting of little kids that should be innocent. Our schools are grooming children for paedophilia and sex changes. Our nations are becoming demonic, our nations are being turned to hell. The people are becoming possessed. We can’t vote this away. Our nations cannot be redeemed. Individuals may be saved but our nations are toast. I believe what is already going on is the judgement of God, the Lord is giving our nations over to Satan for their judgement and destruction. Our nations have given themselves over to depravity and the result is depraved minds. This is what happens when nations refuse to repent. No nation is above the Law of God, not Israel, not Babylon, not Babylon USA or Egypt anywhere. We need to be sober. Hell is on the move and Death is already stalking. What can the Lamb’s little remnant flock do?

The Lamb is the only one that can open the seals of Revelation, no one can overturn His judgement. But we can look to that same Lamb that conquered death to give us the grace to endure faithfully. The end of our Age is upon us. All we can do is look to Yeshua and hold tightly through this roller-coaster. Help us Lord to hear your voice! There is a rest for the people of God, our Messiah is in control. He will lead us. His Calendar shows us His Times & Seasons.

Taking down America & the World

Ever since early 2020 I have seen the Covid-19 scare and the Lockdowns for what they actually were, the beginning of the take over and dismantling of our nations by the forces of darkness and the bringing in of the Satanic New World Order. The Plandemic was far bigger than just a world war with guns and ammunition (that’s about to hit soon too). I believe that the Seals of the Apocalypse have been opened, and that Covid-19 was the White horse carrying a rider with a bow without arrows. It was a world wide ‘bloodless‘ coup, a judgement with all the world governments in Lockstep and people locked down on a wim because the government said so. Although ‘bloodless‘, this coup was all about the ‘blood‘. Serpents bite and inject poison into the blood, it’s just what they do. No shots were fired, not bullets anyway, not yet. People were not quite forced, but greatly encouraged threatened and manipulated to shoot themselves up with a needle. The pimp that primed the pump was our government. Donald Trump, the ‘good guy’ encouraged Christian America and the world to shoot itself at warp speed. Most followed their master like the Borg of Star Trek, arms outstretched, thinking caps off. So America is now a form of Babylon that has made the world to stagger like a drunkard. Come out of her my people and share not in her man made plagues. But where do we go, the whole world is Babylon and in lockstep?

Why did this happen? Nobody in government can do what they like, a conspiracy of this magnitude has to be given the ‘Green Light‘ from above. Although the Plandemic was Satanic in nature, I believe the Lord used it as His judgement on our nations wickedness because He has opened the Seals. Read Zechariah 5 if you want to see how the Lord curses those that swear falsely by His name. Death is being let loose. However even if Yeshua allowed it that doesn't mean that the snakes who do it are good, we still have a real enemy and already true believers have died in our hospitals of death, including followers of Torah! They didn’t die of Covid-anything, they died of their treatment in the murder houses that were our hospitals! I am thinking of Rob Skiba, may the Lord avenge his murder and bring justice. So we are already under attack. We must get stronger in these harrowing times. We must get real close to the Lord. We must walk in His will and not allow Satan a foothold. We have to overcome these onslaughts upon our mind and hearts.

If the seals were opened then I would expect things to get worse and worse. Well they have. But where are we in the timeline? If the seals were opened then we cant be far away from things really kicking into gear because we are over the 3 year mark since the Wuhan Plandemic scare began and the Lockdowns began. This is why over the last year I have become more and more concerned. Although things have gradually gotten worse, are things about to suddenly get much worse? Again, I don’t know anything for sure. I expected World War 3 (WW3) to break out earlier. Could the USA be about to be invaded? Is a revolution about to occur? I believe that whatever happens, it is going to be very soon. When the lights of freedom go out in America then they go out everywhere. This murderous time is the time of travail of Zion. It is short but terrible.

Perhaps before attacking America, she would be rocked by internal revolution. Perhaps let America have one last hurrah before the ship goes down. What if Americans think that they have got their country back and the bad guys are arrested, then when their guard is down attack. Or maybe the bad guys are taking over through revolution. In either scenario America is busy with internal strife when the enemy attacks from the outside. This was the prophetic message Dumitru Duduman was given years ago.

If I were a bad guy, hell bent on taking down America, I would disable her communications and infrastructure. So if the internet goes down then I would expect the first wave of an attack is in progress. Perhaps an EMP strike will be employed too. I am just guessing like many others have.

WW3 wont be conventional by any measure in my opinion. I suspect this world war will include mixed human and non human armies with enhanced Super soldiers from Russia and China and other places. WW3 will include Nephilim Giants and various kinds of Hybrids. What has been hidden underground and under the sea will arise. Demonic fallen technology. The invasion of Babylon USA could showcase the use of AI and Robots and tiny insect like Robots. My guess is that these invading nations could furbish Hi tech weaponry that has until now been the stuff of Star Wars fantasy including Sonic, MIcrowave, and Lazer weapons. If you think you are a gung-ho guns blazing preper packing some lead you could easily be hit by a sonic or microwave weapon that knocks you out cold with a single blow before you can fire off a round. I am not against self defence. But I think we need supernatural help, it maybe more like the Terminator movie and a sci-fi horror movie than John Wayne. And finally it could all be directed by the supernatural fallen angelic host of Satan if it happens when the stars begin to fall, Revelation 12, as I suspect it will.

I think that no matter who is in control of the White House, America is still going to be invaded because of the nation's sins. The home of the brave has become a harlot and a modern day Babylon (and the same can be said of other once christian English speaking nations including Australia). I think we are about to see the modern day ‘land of the North‘ destroyed and the 2nd exodus begin. I believe that the firstfruits rapture is soon, before Zion travails. Then another firstfruits rapture again as soon as Zion travails according to Isaiah 66. See my article ‘Victory, Rapture, Skyfall & 2nd Exodus‘ for details.

My question is, is this all about to happen now? If it isn’t then my timeline is out by some margin. Maybe my sequence is incorrect. Do your own research. It could be that what I think may happen now could happen next year. But I see no reason why it cannot happen now. As I have been saying for a while, there is not much of normal left. Remember the Titanic slowly took on water and then it suddenly did a nose dive into the cold watery abyss. The time of things changing gradually must soon give way to things changing suddenly and drastically. Is that time now?

The Omer, Firstfruits & Ascension

I am thinking about the 40th day of the Omer count and I present some of my thoughts. As usual, I am guessing at some things while other things may be more sure. I know that things are going to get out of hand very soon. I may be wrong on exact details but I may have some valid things to bring to the table. So I present what I have here. And I hope you find something of value to take away. Be strong.

The 40th day of the Omer count this year is Thursday 18th May 2023 which is the 27th day of the second Hebrew month. This is 10 days after the flood on the 17th day of the second Hebrew month. But in the Greek LXX translation of the Hebrew Old Testament states that the flood began on the 27th day! Did the scribes change the scriptures? Who is right? We will talk about that later.

What also happened on this day? Well our dear Lord ascended in a cloud on the 40th day of the Omer count. The Omer count began on Firstfruits when He rose from the dead according to my understanding of scripture (not rabbinic tradition). Will something else occur on this 40th day related to Firsfruits? It’s a possibility, so I mention it here. Before Yeshua’s return the Firstfruits will be raised. Our Lord is Coming.

His Kingdom shall soon invade this darkening world. The darkness is just the backdrop to further contrast the glorious light of Yeshua and His People. Our nations may be crumbling, but Yeshua’s everlasting Kingdom is about to be raised. We are but Pilgrims in this fallen world and we are on a journey to the city of the King. And very soon the King shall return.

I had hoped to see see the Firstfruits rise by now. The first of these Firstfruits are related to the barley harvest. I still believe it could happen any day now. The world is shaking and coming apart at the seams. My question is, is this the year that the Firstfruits are taken because we appear to be running out of time? And if it is the year then the next question is will the Firstfruits be taken before the end of the Omer count? If so then we should see the rapture of the Firstfruits taken to the sky and presented in the heavenly mt Zion.

And immediately after this will begin in earnest the travail for those who remain below including those that still belong to Him but were not ready to rise. This is because only those that have ‘clean hands‘ and ‘a pure heart‘ will rise according to Psalms 24:3-4, as I have discussed previously in the article ‘Victory, Rapture, Skyfall & 2nd Exodus‘. If we have faith in Yeshua but are not ready when He calls then we have to go through some stuff, like the bride in the Song of Songs. It is Zion that travails, and Zion is the congregation of Israel, the church of the firstborn. The travail of Zion will lead to the 2nd exodus.

Will there be a Pentecostal resurrection/rapture also this year related to the gathering of the Wheat firstfruits? That would mean two lots of Firstfruit resurrections, Barley & Wheat. We shall see.

Thankfully the King hears the cry of His subjects who are His sons and daughters. He will bring deliverance in His time but are we listening to Him? Are we listening to the One who hears us? He keeps His Covenant. Are we keeping faith with Him? We are counting on Him, can He count on us? Lord help us to stay close with contrite and obedient hearts.

Will WW3 happen about Pentecost?

I expected it earlier. Will something happen on the 40th day of the Omer? I am watching but I don’t know for sure. But there could be something at this time and so I share what could be and why. There is another reason that I feel that things could erupt about the time of Pentecost or just beforehand. I suspect that the final outpouring of the Holy Spirit spoken of by Joel will happen at this time, far bigger than in Acts chapter 2. Joel tells us that the sun turns to darkness and the moon to blood. There will also be ‘pillars of smoke’ which are literally ‘palm trees of smoke’ (mushroom clouds of WW3?). So something could happen on the 40th day to initiate these events. If this is so then the birthpangs would begin at this time. I would have thought it would have happened by now if it was going to WW3 by Pentecost. So I maybe a year off. I do know that we are to count the Omer for a reason, this time period is being emphasised by God through counting as opposed to just fixing a date.

I still have some problems with a rapture of the firstfruits at this time because the 40th day of the Omer is not a feast day. And 2 Esdras 2:38 tells us that the sons of God are sealed at the feast. 2 Esdras is not in the bible (but it was in the KJV Apocrypha) but I don’t dismiss it either. It joins some dots for me.

35 Be ready to the reward of the kingdom, for the everlasting light shall shine upon you for evermore. 36 Flee the shadow of this world, receive the joyfulness of your glory: I testify my Saviour openly. 37 O receive the gift that is given you, and be glad, giving thanks unto him that hath led you to the heavenly kingdom.
38 Arise up and stand, behold the number of those that be sealed in the feast of the Lord;
39 Which are departed from the shadow of the world, and have received glorious garments of the Lord.
40 Take thy number, O Sion, and shut up those of thine that are clothed in white, which have fulfilled the law of the Lord. 41 The number of thy children <Revelation gives us the exact number, 144,000>, whom thou longedst for, is fulfilled: beseech the power of the Lord, that thy people, which have been called from the beginning, may be hallowed. 42 I Esdras saw upon the mount Sion a great people, whom I could not number <try counting to 144,000>, and they all praised the Lord with songs.
2 Esdras 2:35-42

Who are we counting on & why?

The Lord tells us that we are to count 50 days from Firstfruits to Pentecost, Leviticus 23:15-16. In our little nest, we have been visually counting down the Omer with the cute home made picture above. Each day we colour in another day and we pray the written blessing. It is our way of being mindful of this special 50 day period as we watch for the coming of the Lord. Yeshua ascended 10 days before Pentecost. What else could happen on the 40th day? And what happens 10 days later at Pentecost? Is this the latter day outpouring of the Holy Spirit amidst World War 3? Or is it next year?

In scripture we are instructed to number our days if we would be wise. Obviously I think it is important as we approach our Lord’s return to take His appointed times very seriously.

If you have been following my recent blogs then you know that I have been saying that we could be on the cusp of both rapture and travail this year. I have suspected this, but perhaps I have been too early? Either it will happen or it wont. We will soon know. So far we have not had the 144,000 Firstfruits rapture. It could have happened earlier but it didn’t. We are running out of time for it to happen during the Omer count this year. I may have to adjust my timelines by a whole year at least. Or there is still some chance it’s about to spring forth. I still feel it is at the door. I would like to look at the 40th day of the Omer count in this article, the day when Yeshua ascended into the clouds.

I am acutely aware that our nations are on the cusp of famine, economic collapse, tyranny and invasion. It’s already beginning but it is gathering pace. But it could suddenly all quickly escalate. When this breaks out, including invasion, it is going to be the beginning of the end. Yeshua is coming. We are surely seeing the season of His return ripening quickly. The travail of these birthpangs of the Kingdom shall soon be upon us.

If we keep watching and making adjustments to our calculations then hopefully eventually we will get it right. He tells us to watch and so I believe He wants us to be looking and figuring these things out and seeking His face. Let us find out some reasons why we should “number our days” and “apply our hearts unto wisdom“…

So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.
לִמְנוֹת יָמֵינוּ כֵּן הוֹדַע וְנָבִא לְבַב חָכְמָֽה׃
Psalms 90:12

The Lord is counting on us to Count the Omer. Why? Why not just give us a date to hang Pentecost on? What is the Lord trying to say to us by getting us to count? We are in the time of the counting of the Omer that leads to the 50th day, Pentecost.

15 And ye shall count unto you from the morrow after the sabbath, from the day that ye brought the sheaf of the wave offering; seven sabbaths shall be complete:
16 Even unto the morrow after the seventh sabbath shall ye number fifty days; and ye shall offer a new meat offering unto the LORD.
Leviticus 23:15-16

So why does the Lord want us to count these days? In the past at His first coming significant things happened during the Omer count. Yeshua was raised on day one, ascended on day 40, and 10 days later the church was born on the 50th day, Pentecost. Could it be because He wants us to watch out for something during this time just before His 2nd coming? The Omer is all about the harvest. So could significant things related to the harvest of souls occur during this time? I believe we will see during the 50 days of counting the Omer a future resurrection/rapture and outpouring of the Holy Spirit, even as there was one in the past. I believe He commands us to count the Omer for these very reasons. And He is counting on us to count the Omer because it is all about His return for just as He ascended on a cloud so shall he come with the clouds, Matthew 24:30, 26:64, Mark 13:26, 14:62, Acts 1:9-11.

Yeshua’s Ascension

Yeshua ascended on the 40th day of the Omer count. So what day of the month was this? I suspect it was the 27th day of the second month based on what we know of the crucifixion, not church traditions. If Yeshua was crucified on Passover and died in the evening and spent 3 days and 3 nights in the tomb and rose on the first day of the week (Sunday) that would mean his crucifixion and death was midweek. His resurrection was on Sunday the 17th of the first month, Nissan. This was the feast of Firstfruits which begins the 50 day count to Pentecost. So the 40th day of the Omer count would be the 27th day of the second month. Acts chapter one tells us what happened..

To whom also he shewed himself alive after his passion by many infallible proofs, being seen of them forty days, and speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God:
Acts 1:3

On the 40th day He ascended to heaven in a cloud.

And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight.
Acts 1:9

We were then told that He will return in the same manner.

10 And while they looked stedfastly toward heaven as he went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel;
11 Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven.
Acts 1:10-11

Luke the writer of the book of Acts then goes on to discuss the fall of Judas. Could this also allude to the falling away that could occur during the period between the 40th day of the Omer and the 50th day which is Pentecost. Could Judas be prophetic of the Apostasy? We already see Apostasy in the last days Laodicean church. But could there be a false period of ‘peace and safety‘ followed by Apostasy and the revelation of the Antichrist? The persecuted Church of Smyrna is told to be faithful 10 days. Is this when Antichrist is revealed? Could Antichrist be revealed in this 10 day time period also? This is all just speculation. But it could be that a lot will happen in a very short period of time.

A nuclear exchange that ignites WW3 could happen at any moment, our world leaders seem hell bent on destroying our nations and igniting such an event. Could this be when Antichrist rises? Could this be when persecution hits an unprecedented level? And could this occur after the sudden disappearance of the 144,000 firstfruits just before Pentecost? If not this year then maybe later.

Again this is all speculation.The 10 days of tribulation that Smyrna has to endure could be figurative or it could occur at any time for example between Trumpets and the Day of Atonement. But let me share what I do know and why I think it is important to be looking for Him and searching for the time of His return…

Looking for Him before vs Travailing afterwards

Yeshua is coming back for those that are His. Those that want Him the most will be those Lambs most obedient to His voice, those that follow Him wherever He goes. The 144,000 firstfruits do just that…

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.
Revelation 14:4

Yeshua told us in the gospels to watch for His coming. We are also to pray to be counted worthy to escape.

Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.
Luke 21:36

We are called to occupy until He comes. We aren’t called to be preoccupied! He will take those that are watching. He will not take those that are not watching. He will not take those that are sleeping. He even warns the church of Sardis that if they wont watch he will come as a thief.

Remember therefore how thou hast received and heard, and hold fast, and repent. If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come on thee as a thief, and thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon thee.
Revelation 3:3

I have found a great deal of resistance to talking about these prophetic matters with many believers. I am not talking about make believers, but real beloved brothers and sisters in the Lord. They don’t want to know end times stuff too much. They want to focus on temporal things. They are not worldly. They are even spiritual, but they just don’t want to know. And so this I believe precludes their being ready when Yeshua calls the first of His firstfruits home! They have decided to stay in bed just like the bride in Song of songs. We must listen and obey and not be coy with the Lord when His voice calls us. Otherwise He will leave us in bed.

I have put off my coat; how shall I put it on? I have washed my feet; how shall I defile them?
Song of Solomon 5:3:

Her beloved withdraws and she goes about looking for Him. She gets beaten up in the streets. This is all prophetic of Zion. This is the true believing remnant of the church that does truely love the Lord but they were not ready when He called. This could be at the door. It could be even about to happen. We could have rapture of the firstfruits and tyranny occur at the same time.

So Yeshua wont come for the sleeping especially if they have heard His voice to wake up but choose to stay in bed spiritually. We are told that Yeshua will appear to those that look for him.

So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many;
and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.
Hebrews 9:28

I want to stress this again. Yeshua is not coming for those that are not looking for Him. He is only coming for those that are awake, watching and that look for Him! If you still doubt that it is important to be watching for His coming and looking into these things then consider the Apostle Paul’s advice to the Thessalonians.

2 For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.
3 For when they shall say, Peace and safety;
then sudden destruction cometh upon them,
as travail upon a woman with child;
and they shall not escape.
I Thessalonians 5:2-3

Yeshua said He would come as the ‘thief in the night‘ to those unprepared to watch for Him. What immediately happens after He has taken those that are awake? ‘Sudden destruction‘ comes to the world and to those left behind in the church that preferred sleep. And this is then likened to the birthpangs of a ‘woman with child‘. This takes us to Revelation 12, Isaiah 66, Micah 4:10. This could be the last 10 days of counting the Omer that leads to the final outpouring of the Holy Spirit, the 2nd firstfruits rapture (wheat) and then the turmoil of the 2nd exodus as our nations crash and burn. And this would dovetail with the fall of Satan and His Host as I have already said.

Noah’s Flood begins on the 27th day?

The 40th day of the Omer count is also the 27th day of the 2nd Hebrew month as we have calculated it for this year of 2023. This is 10 days after the flood which came on the 17th day of the 2nd Hebrew month according to my Hebrew KJV bible.

In the six hundredth year of Noah’s life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened.
בִּשְׁנַת שֵׁשׁ־מֵאוֹת שָׁנָה לְחַיֵּי־נֹחַ בַּחֹדֶשׁ הַשֵּׁנִי בְּשִׁבְעָֽה־עָשָׂר יוֹם לַחֹדֶשׁ בַּיּוֹם הַזֶּה נִבְקְעוּ כָּֽל־מַעְיְנֹת תְּהוֹם רַבָּה וַאֲרֻבֹּת הַשָּׁמַיִם נִפְתָּֽחוּ׃
Genesis 7:11

However there is a Greek translation of the old testament done before Yeshua was born that translates it as the 27th day or ‘εβδομη και εικαδι‘ in Greek! Steve from the Torah Family YouTube channel alerted me to this difference in his excellent video entitled ‘As in the Days of Noah – 4th Edition‘.

LXX
In the six hundredth year of the life of Noe, in the second month, on the twenty-seventh day of the month, on this day all the fountains of the abyss were broken up, and the flood-gates of heaven were opened.
εν τω εξακοσιοστω ετει εν τη ζωη του νωε του δευτερου μηνος εβδομη και εικαδι του μηνος τη ημερα ταυτη ερραγησαν πασαι αι πηγαι της αβυσσου και οι καταρρακται του ουρανου ηνεωχθησαν
Genesis 7:11

Did the scribes change the Greek or the Hebrew? Who is right?

If the Greek is correct that would mean that the flood came and the Ark began to rise on the very day that Yeshua ascended into the clouds on the 40th day of the Omer count. This is 10 days before the 50th day, Pentecost.

Now I don’t know for sure who is right but let’s say the Greek was correct, that could infer that the 10 days between the 40th and 50th days could also be the 10 days that Smyrna were to suffer tribulation and possible martyrdom.

Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer: behold, the devil shall cast some of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall have tribulation ten days: be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life.
Revelation 2:10

That sounds like Smyrna could experience a literal 10 days of tribulation if they missed the firstfruits rapture, for example between the 40th and 50th days of the Omer count. And it infers that Yeshua returns at the 6th seal which could well be Pentecost when the moon turns to blood, and the sun turns to darkness. The Lord is pouring out His Spirit and raising the dead with the Pentecostal wheat rapture firstfruits.

Look as I have often said, I don’t know if this happens this year. But it could easily happen shortly or it could be in another year. I just think it WW3 could ignite at anytime with the birthpangs of the Tribulation and KIngdom. So keep watching and praying. If doesn’t happen now, keep it in the back burner for next year.

The number 27 and budding forth of Strength

The 40th day of the Omer occurs on the 27th of the second Hebrew month this year.

One more little note about the 27th day is that the number 27 is also used to denote a year in which the ‘horn‘ or strength of the ‘house of Israel‘ is said to ‘bud forth‘.

17 And it came to pass in the seven and twentieth year, in the first month, in the first day of the month, the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
21 In that day will I cause the horn <Qeren, קֶרֶן> of the house of Israel to bud forth <Tzimiach, צְמִיחַ>, and I will give thee the opening of the mouth in the midst of them; and they shall know that I am the LORD.
Ezekiel 29:17,21

So is the number 27 related to firstborn? The 144,000 firstfruits are the first of the Israel’s strength, since they are firstborn sons. A firstborn son is related to firstfruits…

Thou shalt not delay to offer the first of thy ripe fruits, and of thy liquors: the firstborn of thy sons shalt thou give unto me.
Exodus 22:29

So 27 is related to first month, first day and budding forth. I think of Aaron’s rod that budded. The Levites were taken as firstborn instead of the firstborn of each family, Numbers 17. Aaron’s sons were taken as firstborn from a firstborn. So likewise the entire house of Israel will bud forth as the Lord’s firstborn amongst the nations. The firstborn buds first. Only those that are born of Yeshua can bare good fruit. Only those born of Yeshua can be His firstborn. And 27 seems to be related to the ‘church of the firstborn‘. Of course there are 27 books in the New Testament. The firstfruits and the firstborn seem to be related to the number 27.

Psalm 90 – flying away at the end of the ‘Age of Grace’

One final note is that the verse in Psalm 90 that talks about teaching us to ‘number our days‘, so ‘that we may apply our hearts to wisdom‘ has also many prophetic things to say that directly relate to the time of Yeshua’s return. It mentions a thousand years is like yesterday. The Omer count is related to Psalm 90 because it involves numbering our days. Psalm 90 also mentions ‘flying away‘ which is similar to Yeshua Ascending in the clouds. It also talks about man being cut down like grass which reminds us of the end times tribulation. It also mentions being taken away by the flood. All end time metaphors. It talks about God’s wrath. This is 6th seal language. Psalm 90 talks about our average life span being 70 or 80 years, this is a generation. I am reminded of the parable of the fig tree and that generation would not pass away until all things are fulfilled. Israel came into being in 1948. Add 80 years to that we have 2028. Could 2023 or 2024 see the middle of the tribulation and 2nd exodus? I believe Psalm 90 is all about this end time judgement of the wicked and salvation of the righteous in a time of death and destruction.

1 Lord, thou hast been our dwelling place in all generations.
2 Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God.
3 Thou turnest man <אֱנוֹשׁ> to destruction; and sayest, Return, ye children of men.
4 For a thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night.
5 Thou carriest them away as with a flood; they are as a sleep: in the morning they are like grass which groweth up.
6 In the morning it flourisheth, and groweth up; in the evening it is cut down, and withereth.
7 For we are consumed by thine anger, and by thy wrath are we troubled.
8 Thou hast set our iniquities before thee, our secret sins in the light of thy countenance.
9 For all our days are passed away in thy wrath: we spend our years as a tale that is told.
10 The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength labour and sorrow;
for it is soon cut off, and we …

...fly away.

11 Who knoweth the power of thine anger? even according to thy fear, so is thy wrath.
12 So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.
13 Return, O LORD, how long? and let it repent thee concerning thy servants.
14 O satisfy us early with thy mercy; that we may rejoice and be glad all our days.
15 Make us glad according to the days wherein thou hast afflicted us, and the years wherein we have seen evil.
16 Let thy work appear unto thy servants, and thy glory unto their children.
17 And let the beauty of the LORD our God be upon us: and establish thou the work of our hands upon us; yea, the work of our hands establish thou it.
Psalm 90

I would rather 'fly away' than be 'blown away' that’s for sure. Let’s be wise.

So that’s all for now. I know it’s a lot but hopefully some folks out there can absorb it.

God bless, Shalom & Love
in Yeshua

Why Tribulation?

We have entered perilous times & the need for courage is very clear.

Why does God allow Tribulation? Why does God allow fearful and fiery trials? What do we do when we see the enemy coming to devour our flesh? Read Psalm 27 and find out. In Revelation 12 Zion is in pain to be delivered. Why would Yeshua allow Zion to be in such pain? Why do there have to be birthpangs? Why does God allow the greatest darkness to descend upon us when we are already doing our best to obey Him, when we are trying so hard to do what is right?

Of course I am assuming everyone that is reading this is walking in obedience to the Lord and is filled with the Holy Spirit and is not fulfilling the lusts of the flesh etc. If we are not then we can only look forward to judgement unless we turn to God fully. Seek Him now if you are in this category and keep reading.

If you are walking in obedience you may see the waves coming and you can be tempted to give into fear. Hold on. But you may ask why is God allowing evil to invade? What is going on? And how can we possibly overcome when all the power seems to be in the hands of the wicked that run government and big business? We know that light will eventually shine, Isaiah 60:1-2, but can we endure as good soldiers till then, II Timothy 2:3?

I think that to say that God’s people need encouragement is a profound understatement. I think we are all feeling the pressure of the times, even if we are only partially awake. Suddenly we feel the earth moving under our feet as the sure and predictable fabric of our nations and civilisation crumble below us, around us and above us. The devil's hands have been busy.

As we look at what is going on we can feel overwhelmed with a sense of helplessness as there seems to be far too many in our nations that are either simply fast asleep or straight out wicked. We are approaching a time when the Lord will strike but can we endure such an onslaught upon our freedoms and safety? There are many promises in the word of God. But there are also things that we must do to obtain them. There is often a spiritual fight to get to higher ground especially when the enemy attacks. I will share a bit more about what we can do shortly. But first I want to raise something that often people don’t want to know…

God will Judge His People

Have you ever wondered if someone that says they love you is genuine? Or maybe it’s a business relationship, can the person be trusted? If a husband suspects his wife of infidelity for example he may search to see where she is really at.

Well that is the case both with Israel and the Church, the Israel of God. Yeshua is the high priest of our faith and in the book of Revelation we are introduced to Him as one having eyes of fire.

His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire;
Revelation 1:14

Yeshua is not only King of Kings, but is High Priest of our Salvation. His body was the sacrifice, once for all, Hebrews 10:10. It is through His blood that we have redemption. He is our Saviour and He is our Lord and Judge since we have been purchased by Him. It is as High Priest that He searches our hearts as the middle church of Thyatira is reminded.

And unto the angel of the church in Thyatira write; These things saith the Son of God, who hath his eyes like unto a flame of fire, and his feet are like fine brass;

…
And I will kill her children with death; and all the churches shall know that I am he which searcheth the reins and hearts: and I will give unto every one of you according to your works.
Revelation 2:18,23

A priest looks at the sacrifice and approves or disapproves. Searching the heart and kidneys is priestly work. He searches what is on the inside. His eyes search out where we are truly at. He Loves us, and True Love is Jealous Love. He knows us and seeks to see if our love of Messiah is ‘true blue (Genuine)’?

6 Set me as a seal upon thine heart, as a seal upon thine arm: for love is strong as death; jealousy is cruel as the grave: the coals thereof are coals of fire, which hath a most vehement flame.
7 Many waters cannot quench love, neither can the floods drown it: if a man would give all the substance of his house for love, it would utterly be contemned.
Song of Solomon 8:6-7

God is Holy and Jealous and will burn up those imposters that swear falsely by His Name. I have heard teachers say that God would not allow His Bride to go through Tribulation or be beaten up. It sounds good, I agree in part but there is more going on here. Because if He suspects her of spiritual adultery then she shall certainly be tested. In the world we are all promised tribulation because we all have spots on our garments. So depending on where we are at when the tribulation comes we will reap what we sow and so we better not bring a curse upon ourselves by swearing falsely by the name of the Lord.

3 Then said he unto me, This is the curse that goeth forth over the face of the whole earth: for every one that stealeth shall be cut off as on this side according to it; and every one that sweareth shall be cut off as on that side according to it.
4 I will bring it forth, saith the LORD of hosts, and it shall enter into the house of the thief, and into the house of him that sweareth falsely by my name: and it shall remain in the midst of his house, and shall consume it with the timber thereof and the stones thereof.
Zechariah 5:3-4

The house can be our body and the body will rot if we are unfaithful. This is the curse of Numbers 5 that comes if a woman is an adulterer. I believe that the Plandemic and it’s wicked vaccines are a real snake bite and are the beginning of the curse that is spoken of in the above verse. Judgement comes to God’s house first. And the Lord is already beginning the prosecution of His people for theft and false swearing. This is tied to the Covenant with Death spoken of in Isaiah 28 which Jerusalem and Ephraim are a part of, that is, the Religious Jews within the secular state of Israel and Christendom in America and elsewhere headed by the spiritual drunkards of Ephraim. Much of the Church has committed spiritual whoredom.

So judgement is already out of the gate and running down the track. We have been spared the bulk of it’s impact until now. But I believe the four horsemen are about to hit hard. It’s not so much prophecy any more it is on the news. We need to number our days and seek God and get our hearts in order if we follow the Lamb.

If we obey the Lord then we have peace with Him. If we have areas of darkness and disobedience then there comes a time when the Lord will either deal with it or we are in danger of being cut off. The Lord is very gracious and longsuffering but He does have to judge sin eventually and judgement begins in the House of God first.

For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God?
I Peter 4:17

Yes we are saved by grace, but are we really His? Tribulation will reveal our hearts. And God will judge His people.

For we know him that hath said, Vengeance belongeth unto me, I will recompense, saith the Lord. And again, The Lord shall judge his people.
Hebrews 10:30

At the end of the ‘church age’ the Lord is going to judge the church.

There is a judgement for rewards. But there is also a judgement to separate the false swearers from the true worshipers of God. The letters to the 7 churches of Revelation show Yeshua warning and judging his people.

In Numbers 5:12 and to the end of the chapter we are given a test for infidelity of a woman. The test involves drinking bitter waters that if found guilty will cause her to lose her ability to have sexual intercourse and bare children. What was done in the natural realm of a husband and wife also has far more importantly, a spiritual application. Moses was a prophet and this test for infidelity applies to Israel and the church. The relationship between the Lord and His people in likened to marriage. If the Lord suspects His People of spiritual infidelity then they may go through bitter waters. Are we true to Him?

So this is another reason for the bitter waters of tribulation, the Lord is searching our hearts. He did it in the Old Testament and He does it in the New Testament.

I the LORD search the heart, I try the reins, even to give every man according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings.
Jeremiah 17:10

We have been given grace through Yeshua. Have we feared God, have we taken hold of His grace and learnt obedience? I have been a slow learner. Judgement is not only coming, it is already here. There is martyrdom too, but not everyone is martyred. Despite what some say there are raptures if we are ready, the first one is coming soon for the 144,000 firstfruits and others. But there is also a remnant that will endure and even escape the dragon. So they are not all killed. But the Lord does have some scores to settle with the rebellious churches. Much of Israel is in America, both Jews and lost tribes. The Lord will test all those whether Jews or Gentiles, especially if they claim to follow Him but do not obey Him. If we have come to Yeshua by faith then we have spiritually come to the heavenly Jerusalem and mt Zion. And one day we will be there physically. The Israel of God is made up of believing Jews and Gentiles and she is Zion, she is the woman of Revelation 12, which is Zion, the Church of the firstborn (Read Hebrews 12). Seek the Lord. Get right with Him. Seek His face. Seek his face and live, Amos 5:4. The principle applies to all.

Overcoming Fear
– Our eyes are upon Thee

If we are walking in obedience we may still feel overwhelmed with what is going on. The answer is to seek the Lord. Focus upon Him. The bad guys seem to have all the money and power but we have ‘the covenant‘! The enemy is coming, but so is the Lord of Hosts, He is a Man of War, mighty in battle, Isaiah 42:13, and He is coming. The enemy may have the numbers and the initiative, but we look to the Lord.

O our God, wilt thou not judge them? for we have no might against this great company that cometh against us; neither know we what to do: but our eyes are upon thee.
II Chronicles 20:12

As I have quoted many times before, so I say again, we must focus on Yeshua.

Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee.
Isaiah 26:3

But this is not just a mental exercise, it is a heart exercise. The battle is won in our hearts. Yes we need to keep in mind that Yeshua is in control, for sure! But we need to make it real by seeking his face! When you feel the strain, do the following…

Pray
Pray
Pray
and Worship the Lord!

Tribulation causes our hearts to fear. We are in a ‘mind war‘, so get the word of God into you. But it also is a ‘heart war‘ so pray, pray, pray until you get the victory. Fasting helps in any spiritual battle. Don’t let the enemy set up strongholds of fear in your mind! And walls come tumbling down when our hearts are united with Yeshua and the Father when we worship! Here are 4 things to get the victory over your fears…

Bible
Prayer
Fasting
Worship

Our eyes must not be overly focused on the waves, even though they are very real. Find the will of God in every situation and seek the Lord. He will not let go of your hand, but you must reach out to Him in prayer. Focus on Yeshua and not the waves and you wont sink.

24 But the ship was now in the midst of the sea, tossed with waves: for the wind was contrary.
30 But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me.
31 And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught him, and said unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt?
Matthew 14:24,30-31

The eyes of our heart must be fixed on Yeshua. He is the only one that can save us. The story of the disciples on the boat being tossed about by the waves is a picture of tribulation and of course ‘the Tribulation‘. But if you remember the Lord got the disciples through the storm. He calmed the waves. Yeshua is in control not Satan. He looses the 7 seals not the devil. Noah’s Ark being tossed about is a picture of the Church of Zion being tossed too and fro. The same tribulation as we see in Revelation 12, crying out in pain to be delivered. Just like the disciples. Our trembling hearts need help when the storm comes. And for believers we have a real anchor for our souls that unbelievers that do not have the Lord cannot enjoy. Unbelievers cannot have His peace. Sadly if they do not repent then their hearts will fail. They will sink, they will drown in fear. Their house is not built upon the Rock. But if we follow Yeshua and seek His face then we will get His peace and our souls will not perish, because we can go to the Lord our Rock, our fortress, our deliverer.

25 And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring;”

26 Men’s hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.”

27 And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.”
Luke 21:25-27

So we need to understand that the Lord is in the boat with us. We can all too easily become afraid, but we can strengthen our hearts by spending time with the Lord.

So we need to have our feet firmly planted upon the rock of our Salvation, Yeshua. Yeshua is the Son of David according to the flesh. David was a man after God’s own heart. It is the heart that is being assaulted right now. Be strong. The strength we need is not the strength of mere positive thinking, and I am not saying that that does not have it’s place, it does when based on the word of God. But real strength comes from God and it is obtained by seeking His face. Our hearts need to be exercised when fear wants to invade the soft and fleshy fabric of our heart and nature. When Israel was overwhelmed in Egypt they cried unto the Lord and it was not in vain because He heard them and He sent them a deliverer. God is waiting to hear our cry to Him. And we must not let the darkness of fear to overcome us. We must persevere in prayer.

We need to know where to go when our heart is overwhelmed. I am not superman, my heart needs encouragement. Hearts are soft by nature. There is a vulnerability in our hearts that is intended by our loving Creator. Hard hearts are no use to God. We need to yield. Yielded hearts were made for fellowship with our maker. We need to guard and protect our hearts as a husband should guard and protect His wife. But we also need to expose our yielded heart to the only One that we can fully trust, our Lord. And our Lord will strengthen our hearts when overwhelmed.

1 Hear my cry, O God; attend unto my prayer.
2 From the end of the earth will I cry unto thee, when my heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the rock that is higher than I.
3 For thou hast been a shelter for me, and a strong tower from the enemy.
4 I will abide in thy tabernacle for ever: I will trust in the covert of thy wings. Selah.
Psalms 61:1-4

We need to keep the fire burning on the altar of our heart continually. We must not let the enemy put out the fire. Hope comes as our hearts come into His presence. Keep Seeking His Face, keep the fire of your heart burning.

The fire shall ever be burning upon the altar; it shall never go out.
Leviticus 6:13

Satan wants us to give up, but the Lord wants us to keep going. And we can only keep going as we obey His word and keep turning to Him in prayer. He has given us the Comforter, the Holy Spirit. But there is also a job for us to do. We must seek His face to live in order to endure in these days. Our hearts need endurance.

For thus saith the LORD unto the house of Israel, Seek ye me, and ye shall live:
Amos 5:4

This is a promise. So let’s seek the Lord and live!

Broken Hearts

So we may ask what is it that God is after in all this darkness? We have seen that the Lord will use tribulation to judge His people but what else is He using it for? Well one thing the Lord will not tolerate in His People is Pride, the sin of Satan. I believe that one of the main things the Lord wants from us is the following…

The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.
זִֽבְחֵי אֱלֹהִים רוּחַ נִשְׁבָּרָה לֵב־ נִשְׁבָּר וְנִדְכֶּה אֱלֹהִים לֹא תִבְזֶֽה׃
Psalms 51:17

Before the Lord delivers His people He first must humble their hearts, some more, some less, but we all must be humble before Him. Let us therefore not be overwhelmed by the gathering darkness all around, but let us seek the Lord in prayer more earnestly. And let our hearts also worship Him more fervently. This has been something that I have to some degree neglected to my own hurt. The Lord is looking for worshipers.

Making Lions or how Lambs get Courage

Apart from judging us and humbling our hearts why else must we go through hard times? Why must there be periods of time of tribulation in our lives? It is not pleasant is it? I don’t like it either. But then we wouldn’t grow the way the Lord wants us to. We wouldn’t know His grace in times of need if we don’t have times of need. He wants to build fibre into the oak tree. Strength is important, but it is not our own fleshly strength, but the sure knowledge of His strength and His right hand there to save us. After the troubling and hurtful experience we have not only suffered for a season, we have also grown strong in Him. Ships were not made for the harbour. We need to look at storms differently. As seasons where we grow. God is going to purify His people and make them strong (in Him)! This applies to the 'Tribulation' also! He is forming us to being strong in Him by His Spirit!

That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man;
Ephesians 3:16

Why is it that Glory comes in a time of Gross Darkness? Revelation 12 is Isaiah 60, it’s the same story from the same story book. I’ve quoted it so many times before but why does it have to be this way?

1 Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the LORD is risen upon thee.
2 For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the LORD shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee.
Isaiah 60:1-2

This battle between the ‘seed of the woman‘ and the ‘seed of the serpent‘ that we read of in Genesis 3 has it’s ultimate culmination not only in Messiah but also in His Bride, the church (congregation) of Zion. Why must there be pain in the coming of the kingdom and the manchild (144,000)? Well we are told that the woman would beget children in sorrow due to her disobedience.

…I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception;
in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children;…
Genesis 3:16

Compare this with Revelation 12, Isaiah 60, Micah 4:10, I Thessalonians 5:3 etc. The Kingdom comes, but pain is involved. But Zion is Saved. And we are Zion. We are all in pain together to some extent.

22 For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now.
23 And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body.
Romans 8:22-23

The culmination of this verse is in Revelation 12 and the manchild like Yeshua (1 Corinthians 15:23) is the firstfruits, Revelation 14:4, that follow the Lamb wherever He goes. Yeshua is the head, and they are his firstborn sons related to the Table of Shewbread and the middle branch of the Menorah.

The church is feminine and like Eve, and like a leavened loaf, has disobedience at the end of the age, so she shall be in pain. And Her child is not just the 144,000 it is ultimately the Kingdom of God (and the 144,000 are just the beginning of the coming of the KIngdom to the earth along with Yeshua at His return). For the Kingdom of God is within us, and what prevents it coming down and taking over the earth is the sin that is within us.

I believe that part of the purpose of the travail the body of Messiah is entering is to turn Lambs into Lions. Both are brave. A Lamb in some ways is braver than a Lion, it has to bravely face it’s own death or the very real possibility of death. It’s bravery is internal in the sense that it is ready for self sacrifice. In order to be a good soldier we must not only be ready to face the enemy but we must be ready to face the very real possibility of death. Before one becomes a good Lion they need to face the challenge of being a good Lamb. Soldiers need to learn obedience to their Master and then they can be entrusted with dominion. A soldier is both a Lion and a Lamb because not only can they devastate the enemy like a Lion, but at any moment they could be killed like a Lamb. And so both a Lion and a Lamb display courage and acceptance of their duty. A Lion needs courage not only to face the possibility of death (as a Lamb is also vulnerable) but they must also have the courage to take the battle on to defeat an enemy, to destroy their foe.

I believe this is one of the main purposes of the birth pangs, to change Lambs into Lions. To turn weak and broken people that can then become Holy Spirit empowered devastators. We can begin to learn these lessons now. This is a battle that only God can win, and only a meek, lamb like, yielded heart will be entrusted with the Power of God. We have to prove ourselves as good Lambs before we can be good Lions.

So let us strengthen ourselves and the ‘little flame‘ that is within our own hearts by getting closer to the ‘big flame‘ of the great fiery flame that is the intensely Loving & intensely Jealous and Holy Heart of God!

Wait on the LORD:
be of good courage,
and he shall strengthen thine heart:
wait, I say, on the LORD.

קַוֵּה אֶל־יְהוָה
חֲזַק
וְיַאֲמֵץ לִבֶּךָ
וְקַוֵּה אֶל־ יְהוָֽה׃

Psalms 27:14

Our battle is won on our knees. When the pain of the tribulation comes, it will have the positive outcome of bringing us to our knees collectively in such a way that the Kingdom of God within us is birthed. Otherwise until now all we bring forth is wind. Yes people are getting saved, but we are still under the power of the enemy in many ways including fear and powerlessness. Yes Yeshua has to come, but there is also a work for us to do and it can only be done from deep down inside our gut, from the depths of our hearts. So the very thing that we dread is the very moment of deliverance.

We have been with child, we have been in pain, we have as it were brought forth wind; we have not wrought any deliverance in the earth; neither have the inhabitants of the world fallen.
Isaiah 26:18

Fear can actually be used in a positive way. It can motivate us to seek the Lord. So let us not give into fear but use it as a springboard to prayer and seeking the Strong One that can Warm our cool, broken and hurting hearts in the fiery blaze of His Fierce and Jealous Love! Perhaps that is what the Lord intended anyway.

Remember Jacob feared meeting Esau, just like many believers fear the New World Order. But God used this time of Jacob’s trouble, this tribulation to get at Jacob’s heart. To turn a well meaning but fearful trickster into a prince with God, to turn a man that was living like a refugee into a straight talking, straight walking Leader named Israel. And this is the purpose of tribulation and ‘The Tribulation‘, to bring us to God and enable us to walk with our Lord and trust Him.

Lamb like disciples become
Holy Spirit empowered Resurrection Lions

In Matthew 10 the Lord sends his 12 disciples out to preach the gospel of the Kingdom, heal the sick, raise the dead, and drive out demons. He sends out the 70 with the same task. But later at their return He gives them power to trample on serpents and scorpions.

Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.
Luke 10:19

This prefigures military engagement by the 144,000 and others when the Holy Spirit anointing changes from saving souls to actual warfare, when it’s time for Jacob to go home. I talked about this in the article ‘The Davidic Remnant Anointing‘. This is when the Age of Grace ends, the door of the Ark closes, the flood comes and it’s time to put the Pentecostal wheat into the barn.

Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn.
Matthew 13:30

This happens after Jacob has been 'made thin' through the 'horsemen of the apocalypse', Revelation 6, and Damascus has been destroyed, Isaiah 17. The church is completed and we go home about the time of the sixth seal, when the final latter day Pentecostal outpouring comes, Joel 2:30, and the wrath of God is poured out.

Psalm 91 starts off with those that hide themselves in the Shadow of the His Wings, in the secret place of the Most High. We are to pray to our Father in secret, in the secret place of the most high. To be a warrior, our hearts must be connected to the Most High, in the secret place. Towards the end of the Psalm they are not hiding anymore. They are on the warpath.

Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet.
Psalms 91:13

This is what was promised to the disciples in Luke 10 and it is connected to the promise to the Serpent in Genesis 3, that the seed of the woman would crush Satan’s head.

And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.
Genesis 3:15

It is Yeshua and it is His firstborn 144,000 manchild company and all the rest of her seed at His coming that will crush the enemy.

We really have to get the prophetic voice of God in scripture, the seed of the Woman triumphs. It is not all doom and gloom for the remnant, it is Victory.

In the following two articles I also discussed how Lambs become Lions;

8 And the remnant of Jacob shall be among the Gentiles in the midst of many people as a lion among the beasts of the forest, as a young lion among the flocks of sheep: who, if he go through, both treadeth down, and teareth in pieces, and none can deliver.
וְהָיָה שְׁאֵרִית יַעֲקֹב בַּגּוֹיִם בְּקֶרֶב עַמִּים רַבִּ֔ים כְּאַרְיֵה בְּבַהֲמוֹת יַ֔עַר כִּכְפִיר בְּעֶדְרֵי צֹאן אֲשֶׁר אִם עָבַר וְרָמַס וְטָרַף וְאֵין מַצִּיל׃
Micah 5:8

Touching the Altar

Once we are walking in a Holy way, once our hearts are fully circumcised, we can also touch other hearts. The Torah contains a whole load of parables, and one of those parables concerns the altar.

How do we reach other hearts? Well I believe the the following parable from the Torah gives us the key.

Seven days thou shalt make an atonement for the altar, and sanctify it;
and it shall be an altar most holy:
whatsoever toucheth the altar shall be holy.

שִׁבְעַת יָמִים תְּכַפֵּר עַל־הַמִּזְבֵּחַ וְקִדַּשְׁתָּ אֹתוֹ
וְהָיָה הַמִּזְבֵּחַ קֹדֶשׁ קָֽדָשִׁים
כָּל־הַנֹּגֵעַ בַּמִּזְבֵּחַ יִקְדָּֽשׁ׃

Exodus 29:37

“Whatsoever toucheth the altar shall be holy“. What does this mean?

Before the altar could become operational it first had to receive many sacrifices to be Most Holy, קֹדֶשׁ קָֽדָשִׁים. This is a picture of our heart that must become softened to allow the Holy Spirit to minister through us among other things.

The brazen altar (our heart) is where sacrifices are offered and burnt up. These physical sacrifices represent the relationship of our heart. It was never God’s intent to sacrifice animals all day long. It was a parable to tell us how to relate to God. True Sacrifice occurs first in the heart and then in how we live.

The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.
Psalms 51:17

So let us use words and commune with God. The only calves He wants on the altar, are the 'calves of our lips' (communion with God in prayer).

Take with you words, and turn to the LORD: say unto him, Take away all iniquity, and receive us graciously: so will we render the calves of our lips.
Hosea 14:2

Every prayer where we touch God’s heart, we also get a touch from Him, it is like a little resurrection.

Now once all the sacrifices of the heart have been made, the heart like the altar is made most Holy and whatever touches it can become holy too. We can touch other people's hearts because our heart is now a place for the divine presence. Hearts touch other hearts. We all have some sort of an anointing if we belong to Messiah.But we can block the Holy Spirit through our carnal mind and unbroken heart. Our hearts require sanctification, to be made holy and then the anointing will flow.

But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.
I John 2:27

So our carnality and lack of holiness prevents us from touching other hearts as we ought to.

Seven days thou shalt make an atonement for the altar, and sanctify it;
and it shall be an altar most holy:
whatsoever toucheth the altar shall be holy.

We need the presence of God within our hearts to break out. When our power is broken, then His power can shine through from our hearts. The carnal Jacob like nature must be broken that the hidden man of the heart will be revealed (just as Jacob became Israel). We all have many breakings. Our Lord requires broken (humble), contrite and yielded hearts.

In numbers chapter 7 we are given an exhausting and repetitive list of all these identical sacrifices and offerings that are brought by the 12 tribes of Israel in order to dedicate the altar. The Lord is emphasising how important the heart is. Are hearts need to be fully operational. That is why we go through so many troubles, to get our hearts broken and contrite and yielded to the Lord. The Lord says to us when troubles come, ‘I know this hurts but please give me your heart’. We must trust in God.

My son, give me thine heart, and let thine eyes observe my ways.
Proverbs 23:26

He didn't say, "my son, give me thine head" now did He? He wants our heart. Tribulation is not just from the enemy, it is the Lord who is trying to get our attention by getting to our hearts. The book of Daniel makes this very clear.

And I heard the man clothed in linen, which was upon the waters of the river, when he held up his right hand and his left hand unto heaven, and sware by him that liveth for ever that it shall be for a time, times, and an half; and when he shall have accomplished to scatter the power of the holy people, all these things shall be finished.
Daniel 12:7

We don’t have to wait to be broken in the Tribulation if we would allow God to break us in all our mini tribulations. Then we can reach others with greater effect because the altar of our hearts are now most holy through sacrifice. We are a living sacrifice and our hearts need to be knit together with God’s heart to become Most Holy as a living experience in vital union with Messiah through the Holy Spirit that dwells within us. The tabernacle is a picture of our body and the body of Messiah. Before the tabernacle could be made operational the brazen altar representing our heart where sacrifices are made was inaugurated and made most holy. So it will be with the church of Zion collectively. Her time to shine is coming soon.

Seeking the Father’s Heart

In conclusion, the purpose of tribulation is actually to draw us closer and remove the idols of our heart including fear. Fear is a spirit.

For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.
II Timothy 1:7

The way to over come fear is in two parts.

Know God’s word and put it in your mind. Meditate upon it.
Get that word deep into your heart. This is where prayer comes in.

Knowing is connection. Adam knew Eve, it was a sexual connection. He didn’t just know about her. He was in this case physically connected to her. The heart needs connection too. And prayer opens the door and let’s the Lord in. Moses often met the Lord at the door to the tent of meeting where the brazen altar lay nearby where sacrifices were made. So the door that Yeshua knocks on is our heart! If fear is knocking on your door, how about letting Yeshua in instead. Let us get down on our knees and really seek Yeshua! We need supernatural heart knowledge, not just dry as a biscuit tin head knowledge (and acutally we need that too!). To know the Love of God is to be connected to God by faith. What does it take for God’s people to Seek His Face and LIve?

For thus saith the LORD unto the house of Israel,
Seek ye me, and ye shall live:
Amos 5:4

Don’t let fear get the better of you. Take advantage of it by seeking the Lord and be an overcomer just as Jacob became Israel. This goes for anybody, Jew or Gentile. If we belong to the Lord by faith then we are His Sons & Daughters and our Father is the King of Heaven & Yeshua is our creator and Saviour. That's pretty special. So seek Him.

When thou saidst, Seek ye my face;
my heart
said unto thee,
Thy face, LORD, will I seek.
Psalms 27:8

Mercy, Shalom & Love in Yeshua

The 144 Peace Train departing

Please also read the article titled ‘Yeshua Commissioning the 144,000 to bring in the Harvest‘, written one year ago. I have adjusted some timeline details but the basic sequence is pretty much the same. I really felt the Spirit of God moving when I wrote that article with revelation from the Lord.

Is this the year it all happens? Things are already changing rapidly but are things about to get far more surreal? Will judgements that have been damming up suddenly break forth like a wall of water, muck and filth? Is the enemy about to come in like a flood? Is the Lord about to raise His battle standard? Are the 144,000 about to ascend? Are there birthpangs about to come on strong? And have we 5 months of upheaval to endure, just like the 150 days when the waters prevailed in Noah’s day. Have we got 5 months of the 4 horsemen riding at Warp Speed as the 2nd Exodus gets underway and our nations descend into lawlessness and destruction? Does it begin like the flood on the 17th day of the 2nd Hebrew month? Will there be war in heaven? Will Satan and His starry angelic host fall over a 40 day period from the 17th day? Will the Antichrist be revealed? Are we overcoming the 17 works of the flesh? Are we pure like Joseph was? How do we stand before the Lord in terms of obedience, cleanness of hands and purity of heart? Judgement must first come to God’s House. If we say we follow Yeshua and keep Torah, do we have the fruit?

More Timelines towards end of this article.

Shalom, this is a heart cry so I am ‘calling all hearts‘, I believe we are at the end, but it’s not all gloom by any means. We are in the Omer Countdown to Armageddon and the establishment of Zion with Victory and fierce and cruel judgement at the same time! The Davidic warrior 144,000 Firstfruits will be taken soon, it didn’t happen on firstfruits but its very, very, very near. The train of salvation is blowing the horn loudly. Raptures, Tribulation, 2nd Exodus, it’s all about to break forth. Glorification to the remnant and Darkness to the wicked. The flood is coming, darkness is coming, but the Lord has not forgotten his humble remnant. Shut the door on the world, close it behind you. Seek the Lord in your room as the darkness of night descends. Light shall begin to dawn upon you as the Glory sets his people apart as Isaiah 60:1-2 declares.

1 Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the LORD is risen upon thee.
2 For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the LORD shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee.
Isaiah 60:1-2

I believe this will happen soon. I have a few timelines towards the end of this blog so you can see at a glance what could happen very soon. Is 2023 the year everything changes? Are we about to enter 5 months of travail? Are the 144,000 about to ascend this year? See timelines section below.

In the meantime we must turn from the darkness of this world and focus on Yeshua. Tap into the stream of the river of life of God’s word and fellowship with the Lord through the Ruach HaKodesh (Holy Spirit). The word transforms us by it’s continual washing. And prayer and praise is so vital. We need to focus on the light and not the coming darkness. A literal darkness will soon descend also, like the ninth plague in Egypt, a darkness that can be ‘felt‘, Exodus 10:21.

Come, my people, enter thou into thy chambers, and shut thy doors about thee: hide thyself as it were for a little moment, until the indignation be overpast.
Isaiah 26:20

Let us hide ourselves in God, not in fig leaves of religion. Close the door. The Lord shall seal the door shut, just like in Noah’s day, the 17th day, and the Ark shall rise, the train shall depart.

And they that went in, went in male and female of all flesh, as God had commanded him: and the LORD shut him in.
Genesis 7:16

The firstfruits rapture did not occur on the feast of firstfruits this year. But I hear ‘the Lord is coming‘ banging loudly in my heart and so I have to bang the drum on this again. I feel it. The 2nd exodus is coming during the beginning of the birthpangs including all 4 horsemen. It’s about to break forth. It shall come suddenly. The Lord is warning those awake enough to hear.

Is this the year that the Tribulation is about to take hold in a major way? The Lord has a Bride, but is she ready when He calls? Yeshua has firstborn sons to raise too, the 144,000! Whoever is ready will be taken. It’s not about just having a mental belief in Yeshua or keeping the outer garb of Torah. If you are still carnal and fleshy then real heartfelt repentance is necessary. We need to be humble and circumspect. So are you spiritually leprous or clean? I ask myself the same questions. Are our garments white? There is not much left of what we once called ‘normal’. We are in the counting of the Omer, leading to Pentecost as our nations turn to Sodom, destruction and hell. Is this Pentecost the end of the ‘Church Age‘. Is it last days harvest time? For me the bells are ringing loudly, the Holy Spirit is crying out “Evacuate, evacuate, the train is departing, the train is departing!!!“

I feel that what I have been saying for the past year about the 144,000 is about to happen. We are on the cusp of the 2nd exodus and the tribulation that comes with it. The Lord shall make ready his remnant that is still left upon the earth and the raptured 144,000 will assist them.

I believe that the enemy is coming in like a flood, and so is the Lord for those watching and waiting for him. The flood came on the 17th day of the 2nd month. I will talk about timing later. I have talked about it before. But I feel such an urgency now, it’s just about to happen, I believe the voice of the trumpet is sounding. The Lord is saying to those that can hear, “all aboard, this is your final call, redemption train departing soon“. The train to the sky is a metaphor for going up together to heaven, for transformation, earthly to heavenly, and it is only for those that are clean and ready!

3 Who shall ascend into the hill of the Lord? or who shall stand in his holy place?
4 He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully.
Psalms 24:3-4

Those that have ‘clean hands‘ and a ‘pure heart‘ will go to the Father’s house! This is a firstfruits harvest. The Lord is coming for those that are ready, those that are earnestly desiring and listening and getting ready to meet the King. This departure is a rapture transformation of people’s physical bodies and gathering them into the sky and to the heavenly mt Zion. The first rapture is before Zion travails…

Before she travailed, she brought forth; before her pain came, she was delivered of a man child.
Isaiah 66:7

This ‘man child‘ is not only Yeshua, it is the 144,000 manifest sons of God under Him. Yeshua told us to watch for His coming and there is a reward for watching. And if we are truly watching then we are getting our garments clean, and allowing the Holy Spirit to deal with sin in our lives. I am hoping that this departure includes some that are not the 144,000 but have still washed their garments in the blood of the Lamb. The 144,000 rapture, will take them up to the heavenly Zion to be presented as firstfruits before the Lord, Leviticus 23:10,20, then they will return to earth as His Servants to assist with the evacuation of Zion, called the 2nd Exodus. The ‘North Country‘ called North America will burn. The exodus shall commence.

Emergency, emergency, Red Alert!
Central command from on High is calling!
All hands on deck, Brace for Impact!
Man your stations.
Emergency, Emergency.
Seek the Lord and live!
There is no more time to talk!

For thus saith the LORD unto the house of Israel, Seek ye me, and ye shall live:
Amos 5:4

At the same time the stars will fall from the sky and the earth will be invaded by Satan’s fallen ones, the fallen angels. This is what all the alien movies and disclosure is really about. The masses will believe a strong delusion. They will say peace and safety before swift destruction comes upon them. The 4 horsemen of the apocalypse will be riding and the earth’s population will be decimated. The ‘north country‘ called north America, the USA and Canada will be destroyed suddenly. If you don’t want to hear this, and cant stand the thought of it, it is coming anyway. You will want to leave a nation of dust and ashes.

Before it is destroyed with Pentecostal palmtrees of smoke (Joel 2:30) there will be a firstfruits rapture. After the WW3 Palmtrees of smoke there will be the 2nd exodus. So there is a rapture before the main part of the tribulation kicks in, it happens before the travail comes upon Zion, the church of the firstborn as I have explained in previous articles and will explain again in this one. There is going to be a Tsunami of death and destruction, but the Lord will protect the remnant of His people that remain on earth. It is absolutely vital to remove the leprosy of sin from our garments. There are 17 works of the flesh that must be removed. The 17th day was a cut-off period in Noah’s day. So it is today.

This may be my last blog for a while about the 144,000. If I am correct then it could be the last blog as the world tumbles into much greater tribulation! If the following scenarios do not work out then I will have to rethink things, timing wise. But I feel the Lord saying ‘I am coming for you, I am coming to take you, I am coming to take you to my house‘. Emergency, Red Alert, ‘Seek me and Live’. I feel very strongly that the 144,000 will be raised shortly. It’s just a gut feeling. I have felt this way for the past year. But the pressure is increasing. I just have to tell you! It’s about to blow! It’s about to shake. It’s about to be born! I think the train is about to leave the station for the 144,000. They are going to be presented before the Lord in the heavenly mt Zion as His firstfruits, his firstborn sons, under the Chief firstborn, Yeshua.

Up, up and away!
To infinity and beyond!

I don’t believe we have to wait for a 7 year peace treaty with Israel. The bible does not say that, that is just man’s interpretation. We don’t have much of peace and safety left. The judgement and the birthpangs are coming suddenly. The seals open linearly but they will sort of mix together, earthquakes, war, famine, pestilence and death. It’s coming suddenly! Revelation 12 doesn’t come after the birthpangs of Matthew 24, they both describe the same time period, it’s the same thing, the same time period but just looked at from a different point of view. Revelation 12 looks at the entire struggle from start to finish from the eagles perspective, the big picture, Satan vs Zion, what is spiritually happening. Matthew 24 looks at it from the ground from man’s perspective, what is physically happening on the earth. And Matthew 24 dovetails with the Seal judgements in Revelation 6. So the opening of the seals in Revelation 6 begin the unfolding of the last days struggle which the gospels and Revelation refer to as ‘travail‘, ‘pain‘ of childbirth or ‘birthpangs‘, they are all the same time period. Revelation 12 depicts as an overview the struggle between Zion and her seed and the Dragon and his seed. We may see the ‘birthing‘ of the 144,000 and the fall of Satan and His host very soon. This is a battle between two seedlines, two bloodlines, this is the war between the ‘seed of the woman‘ and the ‘seed of the serpent‘ in Genesis 3. It may come with great suddenness, along with WW3 and the events in Matthew 24. There is already a war upon our blood! The Serpent’s war has already begun with a needle, but it’s still a snake bite!

I know I have said it already but please be patient with me I need to repeat it. This blog article is an Emergency Alert! I am feeling something. I don’t know anything for sure, I have the Holy Spirit and the word of God. I am feeling the pressure and looking at the times we are in. I feel the Lord saying ‘He is coming‘. My gut and my heart tell me that this is it, it’s coming now! I feel that things are imminent including the rapture of the firstborn sons of Zion. (And yes it could take much longer than I ‘feel’ it will!) But my heart is racing now.

For those still worldly minded please know that we are in a spiritual war, we are at the end of what is normal. If you still think that who you vote for matters at this late stage then I don’t think you realise just how far down the drain our nations are. Our nations cannot be saved. They are already being judged. Tyranny shall take hold very shortly. God is about to bust His people out like He did in Egypt. For that task He is going to use the 144,000. But He is also going to allow the enemy to bring great suffering upon those that hardened their heart. Judgement begins in God’s House. No rapture for naughty people that preferred empty religion, pipe dreams and porn. If you are trapped in sin’s vice, turn your heart to God and cry out to Him. Seek His face with all you’ve got. God’s judgement is already here and will come down hard upon Laodicean lukewarm Pastors and their flocks. The leaders and shepherds will be judged first according Ezekiel 34 and Jeremiah 23. It will come suddenly.

I am not condemning anyone, I am simply saying that I feel in my gut we are out of time. The bell is about to ring in a very major way. It’s already clanging in my ears.

But Victory is on the way also. We need some folks to cheer us on too, even 144,000 of them. God is in control not man, He will raise up new shepherds and they will lead and feed the remnant flock as our nations collapse under the weight of sin and judgement. Many of the Pastors are leading their flocks to slaughter, Jeremiah 25:34, Zechariah 11:4,7.

As the enemy gets out his big guns, so will the Lord. Both Satan and Yeshua have prepared their soldiers. But there is no contest between the two in terms of power because Satan and Yeshua are not equal in power. They may be opposite in nature, but not in authority and power. Yeshua is God’s Son, God manifest in flesh, and Satan is a fallen cherub, though brilliant, he cannot win, because he has already lost. But he will destroy many. Be aware of the devil but reserve your fear for God. Fear sin and fear God even more. There is no contest, Yeshua is the Lion of the tribe of Judah. Fear Him. The sentence has been passed, Yeshua has risen and He is Lord יהוה. Yeshua opens the Seals, not Satan. Who is in control here? Seek Him, Fear Him, Obey Him!

V is for Victory, so is the number 17

The number 17 is all about ‘Victory‘. Joseph was betrayed at the age of 17 but he overcame. There is a wonderful study adapted mostly from someone elses wonderful labour. Check out the parsha study here, ‘Parsha – Vayechi – Joseph, Firstborn, Fish & the numbers 17, 50 & 153‘. What Joseph went through the 144,000 go through. The number 17 is related to the firstborn and Victory.

The Ark began to rise as the flood came down on the 17th day of the 2nd month. What destroyed the wicked, actually saved the righteous. And even in these very last of the last days we are to rise amidst the storm. We see the Lord faithfully protect His Bride, Zion, the church of the firstborn, in Revelation 12. This end time process begins when the Dragon stands before the woman to devour her male child (manchild). But the the son is rescued by God. This could be the year it happens. This could be the month it happens! (I feel it is coming soon.)

While still here we are to fight the good fight of faith.

4 For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith. 5 Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?
1John 5:4-5

Please Oh God help us to press on to Victory with a capital V. Help us to clear the final hurdles. A new body awaits those that push through the world of hurt and pain and struggle. The Father is waiting for his sons and daughters to finish the race. It won’t be long now.

54 So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.
55 O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?
1Cor 15:54-55

The first to experience this Victory will be the 144,000 firstfruits.

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.
Revelation 14:4

These 144,000 firstfruits may be taken at anytime. But it could be on the 17th day of the 2nd month when the flood came, Genesis 7:11. There are also 17 ‘works of the flesh‘ that they must crucify in order to be in that resurrection. Yes they need faith in Yeshua, but only those who have clean hands and a pure heart may ascend to the Lord’s Holy Hill. Our faith must bear fruit. The 144,000 have died to sin and the Lord comes for them. They have died to the 17 ‘works of the flesh‘.

Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these;

1. Adultery,
2. fornication,
3. uncleanness,
4. lasciviousness,
6. witchcraft,
7. hatred,
8. variance,
9. emulations,
10. wrath,
11. strife,
12. seditions,
13. heresies,
14. Envyings,
15. murders,
16. drunkenness,
17. revellings,

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.
Galatians 5:19-21

So that is pretty clear. If we continue in any of these ‘works of the flesh‘ then we ‘shall not inherit the kingdom of God‘. So much for ‘greasy grace‘ or skin deep ‘torah obedience‘. Many bickering messianics fail this list. If we walk in these ‘works of the flesh‘ then we are heading to hell. God help us to seek the Lord and purify our hearts and wash our garments of the filthiness of the flesh in the fear of God.

A personal note: I have failed in the anger, lust and self will department as a believer. It has taken years and years to break these strongholds. Slowly the Lord took the edge off my anger. Later He slowly dealt with lust. I struggled with Porn as a believer. I had a big chunk of resentment towards God for being alone for many years, this was before I came to torah. Then torah made it worse as I will explain. I am not a perfect person, but I am learning to follow the perfect God-man, Yeshua.

I didn’t come from a christian home. But the Spirit of God drew me. I got saved when I was 18 but turned away later, I couldn’t see God in my life. I went into the world and fornicated and searched for meaning. The world was empty for me and simply added to my pain and alienation. Then I returned to the Lord and He put upon my heart to learn Hebrew and then He began to reveal things. I loved the revelation but it came with a cost. Nobody wanted to know!

In 2005 God revealed to me via a supernatural download the identity of who Israel actually is. Life was already getting harder and a whole lot narrower with Torah in 2004. I loved it and hated the consequences. I couldn’t understand why He revealed torah to me and allowed me to suffer more pain and rejection as if life wasn’t hard enough. This has been a common theme in my life, even coming to Yeshua brought rejection. And it is common to many who follow torah etc. And every time He revealed things to me it narrowed my connection and fellowship options. Revealing the identity of the 10 lost tribes of the house of Israel was both wonderful and a gut punch at the same time.

Here in Australia there are so few that are interested in Torah let alone understand the prophetic importance of the 10 lost tribes of Israel and their reawakening and regathering. Those here who want torah are numbered in ones and twos, scattered here and there, often with no fellowship. There is a price for revelation and intimacy with Yeshua. There are many hurts to overcome in this world. We must not develop a root of bitterness with the Lord as I had. Bitterness can create a demonic stronghold of pride, anger and lust. It did with me.

We must draw closer to the Father, not push away from Him because of hurt. Knowledge can be a crown of thorns before it is a crown of gold. And the list of wounds keeps being added to the more the Lord reveals. This is part of the fellowship in sharing in His sufferings. The higher up the mountain you go, the lonelier it gets. So I know a little of what Joseph felt when he was imprisoned. I share in his sufferings and the sufferings of Messiah Yeshua as we all do if we would go higher.

And the journey is not over until we leave this world. So if we follow the Lord we want the real thing not a ‘greasy grace‘ or ‘false torah obedience‘ with it’s attendant pride. ‘True grace‘ leads us to ‘true torah obedience‘ characterised by a ‘meak and lowly heart‘. My advice, seek the Lord while He may be found.

Seek ye the LORD, all ye meek of the earth, which have wrought his judgment; seek righteousness, seek meekness: it may be ye shall be hid in the day of the LORD’S anger.
Zephaniah 2:3

If we are meek and lowly we may be invited to God’s house. The number 10 is all about God’s house. Please read ‘The Lord’s House & the 10th Hour, Day & Month‘ for more on this.

There are 7 feasts that cover the complete work of redemption.

The number 17 is equal to 10 + 7, that is, God’s house plus completeness/perfection/beauty.

Please read the article ‘Parsha – Vayechi – Joseph, Firstborn, Fish & the numbers 17, 50 & 153‘ for more on the number 17.

God’s sons

There are may scriptures in the old testament scriptures that refer to the 144,000. I have covered that in previous articles. But I just want to focus on one aspect of them. When they are revealed, when they are manifested to the world, the ‘fear of God‘ shall come to the remnant church composed of the descendants of Jacob and those gentiles that would obey torah with them. Isaiah prophecies the following scripture concerning the 144,000.

22 Therefore thus saith the LORD, who redeemed Abraham, concerning the house of Jacob, Jacob shall not now be ashamed, neither shall his face now wax pale.
23 But when he seeth his children, the work of mine hands, in the midst of him, they shall sanctify my name, and sanctify the Holy One of Jacob, and shall fear the God of Israel.
24 They also that erred in spirit shall come to understanding, and they that murmured shall learn doctrine.
Isaiah 29:22-24

There are many in the church and messianic movement that may be correct on many doctrines, but they are not correct in all things. And there is a huge lack of the fear of God amongst most believers. But when the 144,000 are revealed, the fear of God shall come upon Jacob and the 144,000 shall instruct those that have ‘erred in spirit‘. This is coming very soon, as the travails come upon the congregation of Jacob (Zion) so shall the 144,000 will begin their work. They are beamed up, only to come down again and be manifested. Until then we grown.

For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God.
Romans 8:19

God’s manifested sons of which the 144,000 are the first, will be for signs and wonders just like Moses coming to free Israel from Egypt. They will be needed in the 2nd Exodus.

Behold, I and the children whom the LORD hath given me are for signs and for wonders in Israel from the LORD of hosts, which dwelleth in mount Zion.
Isaiah 8:18

I know I have spoken often about these things over the past year or so but I am doing so because I believe it is coming now! The darkness is coming, the stars shall fall, the 144,000 sons of God shall rise.

I believe there are two lots of 144,000 firstfruits, one related to barley and the other related to wheat. The period of 2nd Passover in the 2nd month is the last opportunity for the barley 144,000 to be presented this year. Friday 5th May is Passover sheni (2nd Passover) on the evening of the 14th day of the 2nd Hebrew month. We could have the darkness spoken of by the prophets occurring about the 17th, two days (and a bit) later. This is when the flood came which is symbolic of the fall of Satan and His host. If my feelings are wrong then it maybe a whole year away. But my gut says otherwise. I feel the Lord is saying ‘departure, departure, departure‘ now.

So I believe there will be a barley 144,000 firstfruits company rising by the 17th if this is the year. (There maybe others onboard the ‘Rapture Train‘ that are not 144,000 but the Lord takes them mercifully, a ‘great multitude‘, Revelation 7:9.) The Lord is preparing the wedding, getting his 144,000 servants ready, even as Yeshua told us in his wedding parables. These 144,000 servants will also help bring a further multitude and help the bride to get her skates on. There will be a resurrection/rapture at Pentecost along with world war, Joel 2:28-32 (KJV chapter divisions). This may be the other company of 144,000 firstfruits related to wheat. We shall see. Then the 2nd Exodus follows. The Bride will be resurrected/raptured in the seventh month between Trumpets and Sukkot. This could all happen over the following 5 months, just like the flood took 150 days until the 17th of the seventh month. So a lot will happen in a very short period of time including the persecution, famine, pestilence and destruction of our nations including the USA and Australia etc!

The 144,000 are distinct in character from the Church

The 144,000 are masculine in nature whereas the church is more feminine in some spiritual aspects. The 144,000 are related the the central straight shaft of the menorah, the 4th church, Thyatira. They come from the church, but they are separate from her. The sons of Zion are the ‘manchild‘ in Revelation 12, they are the warrior servant sons, men of steel. They could include females also, but their role is masculine in nature, harvest and warfare.

So the ‘Sons of Zion‘ are distinct in character from their mother (Zion). ‘Zion‘ is the ‘church‘ (in english) which is the ‘congregation‘ of Israel. As stated before, the 144,000 are related to the overcomers of Thyatira, who like Yeshua, rule over the nations with a ‘rod of iron‘. The 144,000 are under Yershua, and are like him in character or anointing. While in their flesh they suffer like Joseph, being rejected and broken and abandoned. But when raised in glory and sealed they are more like David in character, they rule and make war.

The church has been a leavened work, it began at Pentecost in Acts 2. Pentecost (Shavuot) is the beginning of the wheat harvest where two leavened loaves are waved before the Lord. Leaven represents sin and hypocrisy. God has been gathering a people for His Name these past almost 2000 years but there has been false doctrine within the church all along. Nevertheless people have been saved.

The 144,000 do not contain the same leaven. Yes they have all the failings of fallen human beings that are saved by grace, but they eventually desire the sincere milk of the word, I Peter 2:2, as opposed to the Babylonish mixture of the church. They graduate from milk to meat, Hebrews 5:13-14. They are meat eaters like Lions and yet they suffer with the Lamb Yeshua. They follow Yeshua, and they obey Torah, but not in pride and conceit, but with brokenness and humility. They follow the Lamb, Revelation 14:4. And so there is a separateness to them. The church cannot really receive them and neither can many messianic folks because there is still too much leaven in these groups also. And they have a more masculine like soul that somehow is different from the more feminine congregation or church.

Imagine a woman having a child, the child loves his mom, but he never drinks her milk! These are the 144,000 sons of Zion. They are not grown on church doctrine, they receive the pure milk of the word. The Torah gives us a statute about this. The Statutes, חֻקִּים, Chukim, are parables, encoded prophecy for the last days.

The first of the firstfruits of thy land thou shalt bring into the house of the LORD thy God.
Thou shalt not seethe a kid in his mother’s milk.
רֵאשִׁית בִּכּוּרֵי אַדְמָתְךָ תָּבִיא בֵּית יְהוָה אֱלֹהֶיךָ לֹֽא־ תְבַשֵּׁל גְּדִי בַּחֲלֵב אִמּֽוֹ׃
Exodus 23:19

The word translated ‘seethe‘ or boil, bashal, בַשֵּׁל, also means ‘ripen‘. Now this strange instruction in the torah makes sense, you see, the ‘Law is Spiritual’. The kid represents the firstborn sons of Zion that are not ripened on ‘church doctrine’. But they get their milk directly from divine revelation of the word. Every Church denomination has some profound truths but sadly they also contain leaven, they contain error. Denominational doctrine will foul the works and lead you astray. The goats are the firstborn sons that are not ripened on their mother churches mixed up doctrines. I talked about this in the article titled ‘Yeshua Commissioning the 144,000 to bring in the Harvest‘. Don’t get boiled alive by being ripened on your denominational error.

Within the tabernacle we have an extremely obvious depiction of the relationship between the Church and the 144,000 in the Menorah vs the Table of Shewbread. The Menorah has 7 branches and the Shewbread has 12 loaves. They both represent the word of God, but the Menorah is the feminine Shichinah light while the Shewbread are the masculine men of war, the bread winners and harvest workers, the servant sons. For more on this see my articles on the warrior ‘Manchild‘ and ‘The Church & Israel‘.

Timelines, timelines, timelines.

I know I have gone on and on about this subject of the 144,000 in various ways the past year or so. But as I have already said a number of times I feel strongly that the Lord wants to let His people know that the rapture train is about to depart for the firstfruits. So whenever their departure occurs and however it is calculated, the 144,000 are about to go up to the heavenly mt Zion to be presented as firstfruits before the Father and Yeshua HaMashiach and sealed!

I believe things are already ramping up but the snatching away of the 144,000 and the darkness of Satan’s fall will be very sudden. The fall of Satan and His host will occur over a 40 day period I believe, starting from the 17th day of the 2nd month, just like the flood. It is important not to fear, no matter what. I don’t spend much time (if any) watching the news, I might browse the headlines and that’s about it. Whatever time I have I want to make prayer and the word of God first choice. We want to look to Yeshua, not on the waves.

So my assumption has been that we have already entered Daniels 70th week of 7 years. I have suspected that it began early March or April in 2020 with the ‘Plandemic‘, but we have been spared much of the pain and trauma of the birthpangs until now. If I am correct then it is about to take hold as the following timeline makes clear. We have thus been spared about 3 years and 1 month of tribulation.

But just like the flood, the waters of judgement will prevail for 5 months while the seals and trumpet judgements of Revelation 6 onwards are fulfilled. But just remember that Noah and family were safe.

At some point things will change suddenly. This is the 5 month period in red. There still needs to be Israel on the ground, but safe for 3.5 years, so not everyone is raptured that is truly born again. I talked about this in the previous article. It’s firstfruits first. The 144,000 will be raised to help preach and fight and save Zion on the 2nd exodus with signs and wonders. The 4 horsemen of the apocalypse are bringing death and destruction, these are the birthpangs of Matthew 24, Mark 13 and Luke 21 which is the first 5 seals of Revelation 6.

Anyway the point to know is that the 2nd exodus is underway over this 5 month period of turmoil and destruction. The woman Zion, while still on earth is safe. She isn’t raptured yet, but she is safely brought to the wilderness of Sinai by the 7th Hebrew month, just like those in the Ark were saved. While the woman Zion is safe, much of the church and messianic folks wont be if there is unrepented sin and blindness of heart. There is a flock of slaughter also, Jeremiah 25:34, Zechariah 11:4,7! People may be truly born again but die unnecessarily because they allowed disobedience to run it’s course. Now they pay with their lives. If you feel condemned turn now! Repent now! There is a flock that shall be delivered too, Ezekiel 34:8!

The flood began on the 17th day of the 2nd month, Genesis 7:11. The ark rested on the top of the mountain on the 17th day of the 7th Hebrew month, Genesis 8:4. Noah got back to earth on the 27th day of the 2nd month, Genesis 8:4. This is a full year and 10 days in total.

The 144,000 were ‘redeemed from among men‘, Revelation 14:4. In scripture we are told about the ‘year of my redeemed‘, Isaiah 63:4. This could be this period of time and it could be part of a Jubilee year. A ‘Jubilee of judgement‘ to the disobedient and the ‘Jubilee of redemption‘ and full salvation for the obedient in Yeshua. This could also be a year of travail and mourning, soul searching and repentance to the ‘careless daughters‘ of Zion, Isaiah 32:9-11, which includes the remnant church. Verse 10 is translated many days and years but it’s ‘days upon a year‘, that is a year and some days. Just like Noah’s year and 10 days sort of thing. I think this is the same period of time. It’s the year in which the second exodus occurs. God is giving the true believers that made it through all the judgements time to repent and sorrow for sin. They wont be planting because the crops fail. The homestead system wont work in this time period coming. It’s all going to fail. We will have to trust in God. I love the homestead with it’s independent spirit, who wants to live in our godless and lawless cities anyway? But we are going to have to not only leave the cities, but very soon we will have to leave our homesteads and deeply depend upon the Lord for everything. Until then keep homesteading, but know the score, know that there will be a time to say goodbye to the ‘little house on the prairie‘.

If we are not part of the firstfruits harvests of barley and wheat, then we have more to endure. But God is faithful not to test us beyond what we can manage. In any case we are about to move into the events of the collapse of everything still normal with the fall of Satan and his host and the 2nd Exodus.

The first 5 seals are not the wrath of God but they are judgement and severe tribulation. The first time wrath occurs is in the 6th seal and it helps save Zion! It’s the 2nd Exodus. The old system is about to be replaced by the beast system. But the beast system is not fully operational until the Revelation 12 woman (Zion) safely makes it to the wilderness, which is the area of mt Sinai I believe. Sinai is like a beach head for the ultimate D-day when the Lord assembles His people and sets up His camp, His beachhead for the invasion of earth. By this stage the 144,000 can already come back and forth between heaven and earth on their missions.

Interestingly the Saudi Arabian government has suddenly decided to draw a ‘Line’ in the sand and a base camp next to the real Mt Sinai. There is a whole lot of activity with many projects. They call these projects collectively ‘NEOM’. They say the ‘Line’ will be a big city in the shape of a line. It looks more like a wall to put guns on to me. They say they have a sky resort called ‘Trojena’ next to Mt Sinai. They are already hard at work. I think they are building fortifications. Another vain project by the Saudi Royal Family and their New World Order elitist cronies. Yeshua is coming very soon for His Bride and by the 6th seal the heavens will be unveiled. Not only will they see the Lamb of God but the Kings of the Earth will see the Heavenly Jerusalem hovering above their heads like a giant city ship. They shall see it and be very afraid. They thought that they were the dominant species, now they know that they are dinosaurs and their days are numbered. Read Psalm 48 with your spiritual eyes open, it is the heavenly Jerusalem at the 6th Seal being unveiled (It doesn’t come down to earth until after the 1000 years but it is sending forth it’s troops and heavy guns so to speak at the 6th Seal). The earthly Sinai will be base camp for the Heavenly city’s King of Kings to set up His war camp for real and lasting world dominion. Even so, Come our blessed Lord and glorious King, Yeshua!

The Church of Zion is glorified but not raptured to heaven just yet, the wedding occurs in the seventh month but she has a physical journey assisted by angels and the 144,000 to get to Sinai. It’s a last days repetition of the exodus. Once she has left the ‘North Country‘ of ‘North America‘ and elsewhere and has arrived at mt Sinai she shall be safe. However she will see the coming of the fallen angels and Satan himself and the rise of Antichrist at the beginning with the birthpangs of the kingdom of God.

2nd Passover is on the 14th day of the 2nd month, Numbers 9:11, which is on Friday May 5th 2023 in less than two weeks time. The coronation of King Charles is to occur on Saturday May 6th, 2023, which would be the first day of Unleavened Bread. Monday 8th May 2023 is the day the flood came on the 17th day of the second month. So is this the year it all happens?

Is the Antichrist Prince Charles, Prince William or Obama? I don’t know for sure. They are all contenders. I think Prince Charles is too old to mount a war horse, but he may be preparing the way for sure. I think the unveiling of the Antichrist coincides with the fall of Satan and his angels, this is where the UFO-alien deception and programming comes in. The Antichrist may appear more like Superman than some old unmanly royal that plays polo. But he may still be married to a man dressed as a lady, a very royal and presidential tradition. Our culture is already Transsexual and Antichrist and our leaders are for the most part cross-dressing, homicidal, child sacrificing, blood drinking, devil worshipping occultists.

36 And the king shall do according to his will; and he shall exalt himself, and magnify himself above every god, and shall speak marvellous things against the God of gods, and shall prosper till the indignation be accomplished: for that that is determined shall be done.
37 Neither shall he regard the God of his fathers, nor the desire of women, nor regard any god: for he shall magnify himself above all.
38 But in his estate shall he honour the God of forces: and a god whom his fathers knew not shall he honour with gold, and silver, and with precious stones, and pleasant things.
Daniel 11:36-38

I wont be saying ‘God save the King’, not because I am anti royalty, but because I serve another King and He is already Saved. Indeed He is my Saviour! And I am more than a ‘Republican‘, I belong to more than a ‘Republic‘, I belong to a real ‘Kingdom‘, the Kingdom of Light, the Kingdom of God which is the Kingdom of Heaven. And that Kingdom is coming to this earth in a very physical and permanent way. I desire an audience with the true King of Kings, Yeshua, not some short lived Antichrist showoff that will soon become a beast of a man and perish like Pharaoh of old.

Everything in our world, just like 9-11 is rigged for detonation, economic collapse, famine, pestilence, war along with government persecution etc. It’s gotta go pop soon with a very big bang.

Although we should know the times we are living in we should not be focused on it. We need to tap into the river of God, into the flow of the Ruach HaKodesh (Holy Spirit) and set our eyes on things above, on Yeshua and our Father in Heaven. I am looking to the Lord and seeking His face. I would strongly suggest we all do.

A long time yearning of my heart has been that the Lord Yeshua יהוה ישוע, would gather his people together. That we would be one house once more, Judah and Israel together and the gentiles called by His name. The story of the raising of Lazarus represents the Lord raising up and sending forth the Levitical Cohenim that are descended from Eleazar to the House of Judah to witness to Yeshua in a way they can understand. See my articles titled, ‘Raising Lazarus HaCohen‘ for more on that. The raising of Lazarus by extension also represents the 144,000 as a priestly warrior class. The longing in my heart is that the bride would make herself ready, that Zion would be established above all, on the top of the mountain of the Lord, under our glorious King. I long to see Jacob come together under King Yeshua. To see the Davidic throne reestablished and Levi being faithful to Messiah, for us to be a family again. All for one and one for all. Hallelujah!

The Lord is coming and the 144,000 firstfruits are ready for lift off. The Lord shall put some spiritual metal into the backbone His People, and encourage their broken hearts with men of steel and women of valour. Glory is coming. He has his Arrows in His hands, He has his firstborn sons! He has his weapons of war! Do not fear. While the wicked mourn a party will begin. A wedding is being arranged. You are invited, did you hear the call? Make ready.

Conclusion

Don’t be late!

Please also read the article titled ‘Yeshua Commissioning the 144,000 to bring in the Harvest‘, written one year ago with important details for a fuller picture of what is coming.

Love in Messiah Yeshua

The Risen Lord Yeshua & the 144,000 Firstfruits video introduction.

Introduction

Yeshua rose from the dead on ‘the third day‘, the feast of firstfruits (bikurim). Many of my readers will also be aware that the 144,000 are also called firstfruits. I have spoken about this often over the past year or so. Will the 144,000 be taken on this feast of firstfruits or some feast of firstfruits in the future or some other feast? We shall see. I give some of my thoughts here for you to ponder.

Have we already entered into the time of the end? Have we in fact already entered ‘Daniel’s 70th week’? Have we already entered into the tribulation but the main part of tribulation has been shortened and the wrath has been held back? Are we about to experience the main shaking now?

Are the 144,000 to be raised before the main shaking begins?

I would have thought it would have come already, but we should be watching. It will come suddenly.

The Spirit of the Lord is already moving.

The following is more speculation concerning timing...

3 years into the Tribulation already?

Since the about Purim 2020 I have felt we have strongly lurched towards the dark world and system of the Antichrist as our fundamental freedoms have been assaulted. It is clear that the Plandemic has been used as a pretext and excuse for a medical tyranny that has nothing to do with our good and everything to do with our harm and subjugation as the descendants of Adam. There is also a clear demonic transhumanist goal of fundamentally changing our genetic code using a toxic combination of mRNA vaccinations with nano technology to hijack our natural immune system and turn us into some sort of demonic AI controlled robot; to remove the image of God built into our being and turn us into someone that can be tamed and controlled through technology like an animal on a very short leash. At worst we could be changed into something that is no longer human with the flip of a switch.

Now that wargame against our freedoms and our soul began 3 years ago. What was injected into the blood of Adam’s race has not gone away, it is waiting like a ticking bomb waiting for the day it is activated. In the mean time it is maiming and killing people, but it’s main beast like transhumanist purpose has not been switched on. It is awaiting the coming of the Antichrist.

So have we entered a period of time where God is shaking us in order to get our attention? And is He looking for true repentance? Is He searching the heart of His people now?

And secondly, have we already entered into the Tribulation period, but for the most part are not aware of it because it has not fitted the preconceived ideas of the Antichrist visibly appearing with a very obvious ‘peace treaty’ with Israel? I will soon know if my thinking has been right or wrong and you will too. This is part of the reason I am putting this blog out there. I am saying, that we could be entering the last 6 months of the first 3.5 years of the tribulation and things are about to get very supernatural very suddenly. Or I could be wrong (and I am open to that too).

What I do know is that we have entered the time of the end, since the Plandemic began and things are moving faster and faster, and although we could all be wrong on details, we are surely seeing the unravelling of the current order of things as our nations fall apart on every front morally, economically and peace is removed from our predictable lives.

Have we experienced the first 3 years of the tribulation already and is the next 6 months the main shaking and birth pangs? We will soon know if my suspicion has been correct and that the end has already begun. Even if I am incorrect as to the exact timing of things, we are certainly coming to the end of the world order as we have known it and trouble and tribulation are already here and increasing day by day.

To me it seems obvious that the package has been delivered, the bombs are away, and it’s in the blood. But God in His mercy has delayed the majority of the judgement in mercy. He has cut it short, not from the end of the Tribulation but from the beginning, 3 years ago. So this means that a lot of judgement is going to be compressed into a 6 month period which begins with the rapture of the 144,000 and the birthpangs of the kingdom we were told about by Yeshua in Matthew 24.

Tribulation verses Wrath

Governments argue and fight about all sorts of things but 3 years ago all the nations of the world suddenly agreed to inject their people with an experimental drug. Three years ago they all came into lockstep as if controlled by an unseen hand. So my thoughts and feelings has been that the whole Wuhan Plandemic scam has begun the time period called ‘the time of Jacob’s trouble‘ which in the new testament is simply called ‘the tribulation‘ (literally the trouble), Matthew 24:21.

For then shall be great tribulation (θλιψις μεγαλη), such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.
Matthew 24:21

Alas! for that day is great, so that none is like it: it is even the time of Jacob’s trouble (צָרָה); but he shall be saved out of it.
Jeremiah 30:7

My suspicion has been that the seals have already opened but only the white horse has been released and this is not the white horse that Yeshua rides but it is the first seal of the Apocalypse released by Yeshua as he begins loosing the seals of judgement in Revelation chapter 6.

We promised tribulation in this world, but we are also promised that we are not to experience the wrath of God.

These things I have spoken unto you,
that in me ye might have peace.
In the world ye shall have tribulation:
but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.
John 16:33

So we can experience all sorts of troubles and tribulations in the world, including for many the first 5 seals of the book of Revelation, especially if we are not ready for the coming of the Lord. But we will not experience His wrath if we are truly His.

For
God hath not appointed us to
wrath,
but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ,
I Thessalonians 5:9

The wrath of God is only poured out from the sixth seal onwards. The wrath is not poured out upon the Lord’s people, but upon the wicked.

And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb:
For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?
Revelation 6:16

So we are not appointed wrath but that doesn’t mean that we wont experience the beginning of the tribulation at all. Most Christians have been rocked gently to sleep that nothing bad can come to America or wherever and that nothing bad can ever come upon the church because the rapture will wisk away sleepy Laodicean pew warmers before trouble comes because they give mental accent to a few doctrines. Nothing could be further from the truth.

We are told to watch and pray…

Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.
Matthew 26:41

I don’t think we have seen the birthpangs of Matthew 24 just yet, but I believe that since the Plandemic of March 2020 we have been put on notice by our Lord that we are in that time of the end. But the birthpangs will come suddenly we are told. These are the wars and rumours of wars, famines, pestilences and earthquakes in diverse places. They will come suddenly. I believe it is very near.

If this is the case we shall soon know because we are already 3 years into this time period.

Yeshua is Risen

Here in Australia, today is the day following the sabbath, it is Firstfruits during the 7 days of unleavened bread. Yeshua rose from the dead on this day.

But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept.
I Corinthians 15:20

Because of the resurrection of Yeshua, we have new life and a new beginning. If Yeshua simply died as the Passover Lamb but did not rise, we would not have salvation, hope and victory. But because Yeshua rose, victory is secured. We already have the promised victory, now all we need to do is walk it out. As we die daily to sin we also walk in the victory of Yeshua’s resurrection.

3 Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death?
4 Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.
Romans 6:3-4

In our daily struggles with sin, Satan, the world and our carnal flesh we learn to die to self (or we should be learning that). And if we persevere in our struggles we should see the Lord come through with resurrection power if we ‘faint not‘, Galatians 6:9.

This resurrection life both helps us now but will be fully realised at our own actual resurrection with a new and eternal body.

The 144,000 will also Rise Soon

The 144,000 are the first of those to experience the full power of the resurrection of Yeshua. They will be the first to be raised with Him. Could this raising occur on the feast of firstfruits?

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.
Revelation 14:4

I have said often that in the following verse I see three resurrections not 2…

But every man in his own order:
Christ the firstfruits;
afterward they that are Christ’s at his coming.
I Corinthians 15:23

There are 3 groups in the above verse…

Christ (who is first of the firstfruits)
144,000 (who are also firstfruits)
they that are Christs at his coming.

There maybe almost 2000 years between the raising of Yeshua and the 144,000 but they are both firstfruits and thus they both go first before the main body of believers. They are ready first and so they are raised first.

Between steps 2 and 3 is the 2nd exodus. The woman, Zion flees to the wilderness in Revelation 12.

Firstfruits in Leviticus

Here are the instructions for the feast of firstfruits if you would like to read it. Firstfruits occurs during the 7 days of unleavened bread. The firstfruits of the barley harvest are waved by the priest on behalf of all Israel.

9 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
10 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye be come into the land which I give unto you, and shall reap the harvest thereof, then ye shall bring a sheaf of the firstfruits of your harvest unto the priest:
11 And he shall wave the sheaf before the LORD, to be accepted for you: on the morrow after the sabbath the priest shall wave it.
12 And ye shall offer that day when ye wave the sheaf an he lamb without blemish of the first year for a burnt offering unto the LORD.
13 And the meat offering thereof shall be two tenth deals of fine flour mingled with oil, an offering made by fire unto the LORD for a sweet savour: and the drink offering thereof shall be of wine, the fourth part of an hin.
14 And ye shall eat neither bread, nor parched corn, nor green ears, until the selfsame day that ye have brought an offering unto your God: it shall be a statute for ever throughout your generations in all your dwellings.15 And ye shall count unto you from the morrow after the sabbath, from the day that ye brought the sheaf of the wave offering; seven sabbaths shall be complete:
Leviticus 23:9-15

The harvest cycle is symbolic of souls. Yeshua told us to look to the fields that are 'white unto harvest', John 4:35. The harvest is also 'the end of the world', Matthew 13:39. This refers to the Barley harvest, from Firstfruits, and then the Wheat harvest that begins at Pentecost. The 50 day countdown to Pentecost begins on the day of the feast of firstfruits when the barley wavesheaf is waved.

I believe that this may begin the countdown which will be the period of travail of the woman in Revelation 12 which is Zion. Zion is the Church of the firstborn, it is the bride of the Messiah. And she has to make herself ready, and get out of Babylon and head to the wilderness. She begets a son, a manchild that shall rule all nations.

The wavesheaf begins the countdown to her Exodus, the 2nd Exodus.

We will be leaving the USA, north America and wherever else we reside including Australia!

7 Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that they shall no more say, The LORD liveth, which brought up the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt;
8 But, The LORD liveth, which brought up and which led the seed of the house of Israel out of the north country, and from all countries whither I had driven them; and they shall dwell in their own land.
Jeremiah 23:7-8

Our nations are about to be busted wide open. We wont want to remain in our nations either. They will be destroyed.

For I am with thee, saith the LORD, to save thee: though I make a full end of all nations whither I have scattered thee, yet will I not make a full end of thee: but I will correct thee in measure, and will not leave thee altogether unpunished.
Jeremiah 30:11

The 24th Day countdown in Haggai, Zechariah & Daniel

I have spoken of the very significant 24th Day Countdown before in the following articles…

24 is all about the betrothal and marriage of the Bride of Messiah. I spoke about the the number 24 in this article…

The Significance of the 24th Day

It could be that the main birthpangs occur after the 24th day of one of the months mentioned in Daniel, Haggai and the first chapter of Zechariah. Is it the 24th of this Hebrew month, Nissan, the month of Passover, Unleavened Bread and Firstfruits? Is it this year or next? We shall know when it happens I guess. Stay alert!

24th day 1st month - Daniel 10:4
Angel comes to give Daniel end time understanding
24th day 6th month - Haggai 1:15
Build Temple, Shake Heaven & Earth & Sea
24th day 9th month - Haggai 2:10
Overthrow Horse & their Riders
24th day 9th month - Haggai 2:18
Priests, Shake Heaven & Earth
24th day “ month - Haggai 2:20
Foundation Laid, Blessing from this Day forth
24th day 11th month - Zechariah 1:7
Red - Horse Earth at Peace

Haggai is all about the Lord shaking the ‘heavens and the earth’ and destroying the armies of the world with the horse and their riders! Sounds very much like what happened in Egypt in the Exodus but on a much larger scale. It looks like the birthpang shaking that Yeshua spoke of in Matthew 24, Mark 13 and Luke 21.

6 For thus saith the Lord of hosts; Yet once, it is a little while,
and I will shake the heavens, and the earth, and the sea, and the dry land;
7 And I will shake all nations, and the desire of all nations shall come:
and I will fill this house with glory, saith the Lord of hosts.
Haggai 2:6-7

Trumpets & Jubilee

I have experienced a sort of personal Jubilee here in Australia these past 6 months. The Lord has so arranged my circumstances that after many many years of exile we have a little fellowship happening. The Lord has arranged it. He brought it to pass. He brought the people together. I have played my part, others have done theirs, but the Lord Yeshua is the carpenter, the master craftsman, the chief cornerstone and the one that builds His Church (congregation) and the gates of hell will not prevail.

The Lord began on the feast of trumpets last year which had great personal significance to me because I had complained to the Lord that we don’t need just a still small voice but rather a trumpet! I was so frustrated with what was going on in the world and my own powerlessness. The Lord heard. I think the trumpet is blasting for those that have ears. The Lord is coming.

Conclusion

Could we be about to enter 6 months of travail. Maybe. Maybe now, maybe later. I am watching but I don’t know anything for sure. But I am learning more and more from His Word and when things do begin to happen in earnest I think we will all know.

I think it is important for all of us to become familiar with His Word and as we diligently seek Him we shall find Him if we seek Him with all our heart.

And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart.
Jeremiah 29:13

I don’t know the exact timings of things. I am only guessing. I have not received a voice or a dream or vision. I am simply watching. It could be that some of my suppositions are not 100% correct. My timing could be off. But don’t let my failings put you off from doing your own research and seeking the Lord’s face. We are certainly approaching the end of all things and the coming of the Lord however you measure it.

Whenever the 144,000 appear it will be the beginnings of the ‘travail of Zion‘ and her sure deliverance and the 2nd exodus and the 2nd coming of Yeshua. Stay tuned to Him and keep seeking His face and His Kingdom and don’t be discouraged but fight in prayer for your Shalom and you will find his good and perfect will in all things.

Love in Yeshua

Preface

The picture above may look pretty grim but when we are in battle we will endure discomfort, overcoming discouraging and seemingly hopeless odds in order to obtain victory. The 144,000 have a job to do. What greater prize could there be but union with our creator and overcoming the world, the flesh and the devil? Once this is done how about saving the lost and a fair maiden while conquering and ruling the world with Messiah Yeshua? There are dragons and devils without number and fallen angels to boot. Men of God were born for battle and conquest, to subdue the earth come hell or high water. And all the forces of hell are lining up for war against them. The forces of darkness may wear out the saints, Daniel 7:25, but the people that know their God shall be strong and do exploits, Daniel 11:32. They shall shine like the stars. The darkness shall be great but the saints of the Most High shall be glorious, Daniel 12:3, Isaiah 60:1-2.

We have entered into the month of miracles, sacrificial Lambs and resurrection Lions.

The voice of our Master Yeshua is calling the warrior to come higher, to climb the mountain, to come up to Zion, high above the clouds, the city of our God. If you can carry your cross well, then you can be entrusted with the weapons of war when the trumpet sounds. Iron shall clash with iron. Men of steel shall rise as Zion comes into deadly peril. The gloves are off and the battle rages.

There is a battle to be fought,
a Kingdom is prepared and is coming down.
The King has His men of war.
He has prepared them in the darkness of obscurity.
Soon they shall be raised for battle.
There is a dragon to slay and a woman to rescue.
Satan shall fall, Babylon shall fall,
Zion shall flee to the wilderness to the place prepared for her.
Safe from the cruel face of the Dragon.
The King is Coming…

God will soon raise his 144,000 Super Soldiers to assist Him in gathering in the harvest, rescuing Zion and bringing in the Kingdom of God under the direction and leadership of the Lion of the Tribe of Judah, Yeshua HaMashiach. Yeshua is both the Son of David and the Son of God, God manifest in flesh and He is, most assuredly, very much, a Man of War! And He has His Commissioned Officers and Men of War. Soldiers lay it all on the line, they suffer and even die but they get the job done!

13 Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before,
14 I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
Philipians 3:13-14

Suffering obediently will lead to glory and reigning with Messiah Yeshua.
The 144,000 are firstfruits of Yeshua’s suffering and their own.

Introduction

During Passover (Pesach, פֶּסַח) we are reminded afresh of the exodus via the blood of the Lamb on the doorposts. We are thus reminded of the suffering servant, the Lamb of God, Yeshua. Through His blood we have the New Covenant and a way of spiritually leaving Satan’s spiritual Egypt (this fallen world) and our sin in particular. One day soon this spiritual redemption shall lead to the physical redemption of our body at the resurrection and 2nd exodus as I shall explain. The 144,000 will lead the way as firstfruits of the resurrection.

Pretty exciting for them. In the mean time we must occupy till He comes. He wants us to be about his Kingdom now! Not only did He suffer for us but if we follow Him we will also share in His suffering. And it is not a hopeless thing, because contained within it are the seeds of future glory. Through sweat and tears the Kingdom of God advances and something good is planted in our souls in the process that would not have been there otherwise. And if we suffer for Him we shall also reign with our Lord. Like all of us, the 144,000 are Lambs before they are Lions. They experience suffering before ‘rapture’, exaltation and glory.

Passover is a good time to think about Lambs that become Lions, Yeshua suffered but He did not stay in the grave, He is Risen! Passover is about physical and spiritual deliverance. Whoever we are, if we are believers we will soon leave our nations which have become Egypt, Babylon and Sodom spiritually, this is the 2nd Exodus. But we are not out yet. Let us look to the Lord. There is a job for all of us to do while here, souls need to be reached even now, ‘Thy Kingdom Come’. The Spirit of God is moving.

I have not heard too much about the 144,000 suffering. We are not told anything about their life before they were sealed. But we can deduce a great deal from the principles of the word of God and other scriptures that give us a hint of their ‘sacrifice’, a sacrifice we should all be making.

We all suffer in our flesh now if we are obedient believers. But is there an extra measure of suffering and sacrifice for the 144,000? If so, what could be it’s purpose? Are the 144,000 commissioned with the ‘gospel of the kingdom‘ and spiritual warfare in their current mortal bodies before being sealed and entrusted with physical warfare for the kingdom in their raised supernatural bodies? Perhaps they have been tested to some degree already perhaps more testing is coming, time will tell. What makes someone qualify to be a member of this firstfruits manchild company? I am sure it has something to do with obedience, character and a noble nature that Joseph displayed. We may not have to wait long to find out who they are, we are rapidly approaching those days. I share some of my thoughts and gleanings here.

Yeshua is our Passover Lamb. He was slain in the month of miracles (‘ness’, נס), Nissan, נסן. He was raised 3 days later in the same month on the feast of firstfruits, miracle or miracles! The grave couldn’t hold him and death couldn’t keep him.

The cross is vacant now, except for us. Yeshua is risen, but we are still a work in progress. The cross represents death to self. We don’t like it but suffering is sometimes necessary to develop our character. Iron is forged in a foundry. Men of Steel are not wall flowers. Iron Men do not work out in Beauty Salons. Like Joseph in Egypt, the Lord uses affliction, not to destroy, but to refine, to chasten, strengthen and toughen up the servants that He has chosen. Hard men are given hard tasks and they have to have the character to match what is required of them. We cannot buckle and break when put under pressure, stress and strain. Are the 144,000 likewise put through such trial before they are raised up in glory?

Do the 144,000 suffer before they are raised? Are they sealed while still in their mortal flesh or does sealing imply resurrection? Are they commissioned with the ‘gospel of the Kingdom‘ before they are robed in glory and entrusted with physical battle? Or does it all happen together after sealing with a glorified body? Do they follow the same pattern as our Lord, who ‘suffered in the flesh‘ before he was ‘raised in glory‘? We will find out some details as we proceed.

As a spiritual principle, true Torah obedience implies the work of the cross in our lives, death to self life. Let’s look at the role of Torah, discipleship and suffering in producing men (and women) of steel and garments of glory (a resurrected body).

Suffering

In all the articles or videos about the 144,000 I have seen, I have not read a single one about their suffering! It is assumed that they suddenly appear on the scene in glory and supernatural power without any details of their former life or why they were chosen. Perhaps this is how it will be seen from the world. But I wonder if there is more that we can deduce than this?

The bible tells us the following principle quite plainly.

If we suffer, we shall also reign with him: if we deny him, he also will deny us:
II Timothy 2:12

The concept of suffering has been avoided by the increasingly self centred Laodicean church. It is pretty much shunned in our western church culture. It is also passed over by proud messianic type folk that think the Torah obedience means that they wont suffer. I am not saying all messianic folk are like this either, but it is a phenomena I have seen far too much of, PRIDE! ‘Knowledge puffeth up but love builds up’, I Corinthians 8:1. We live in a proud age, filled with churches that are too shiny on the outside to suffer shame and the reproach of Messiah Yeshua. All we have left is a hollow New Age 7 steps to ‘me gospel’. It’s not Yeshua focused at all. And sadly all too often Torah is just head knowledge and pride. The outside is clean, the inside is dirty.

Also see other articles concerning our self oriented ‘Churchianity’ and our pride and coming judgement…

Thankfully there is also a real remnant that is getting deeper with the Lord. Suffering and self denial are implied in the Torah. The central book of Torah is Leviticus and it begins with sacrifice! These sacrifices are of course a picture of what Yeshua has done for us. But they are not just a picture of Yeshua, we are told that we died with Him and we are to die to self. The sacrificial system is really the gospel in flesh and blood. The animal must die so that we may enter the tabernacle with God. The carnal man must decrease and the spiritual man must increase. The cross is symbolic of the sacrifice on the altar. We are crucified with Messiah. This is the book of Leviticus in our flesh.

Suffering and self sacrifice have an important role in our lives. Before the Lord entrusts us with a big thing we often experience a big test. Torah obedience will enable us to qualify for the promise. But first we are tested. Remember how Joseph was betrayed and imprisoned in Egypt or David was chased by Saul. The people of God often suffer before they triumph. So we often suffer some opposition from the enemy before we receive the promise. This is where faith comes in. The patriarchs were tested. So were all the believers that followed the Lord יהוה in both the old and new testaments. Suffering does not mean failure, it’s just the opposite. The suffering is actually equipping us with the character we need to handle the gift, the promise, that we are after. Suffering and self sacrifice is a central message in the gospel, before the Kingdom comes to earth there is suffering and self denial. The cross entails suffering. But it’s not a hopeless suffering. It is enabling us to truly qualify to receive the promise and helps us to be faithful. Torah obedience does not negate suffering. Yes there are blessings that come through obedience but there is also much opposition to true obedience to the gospel and Torah. A truly devoted heart will experience the opposition of Man and Satan.

This principle of suffering first before reigning in glory is seen throughout the bible, including Joseph’s experience at the hands of His brothers and his lonely exile in Egypt and wrongful imprisonment. The prophet’s were tested and tried and we too are promised trials of faith if we are faithfully following the Lord. It is not the exception, it is the rule for those souls that would come after the Lord.

Rod of Iron

Like Yeshua, the overcomers of the Church of Thyatira a promised to rule the nations with a ‘rod of Iron‘.

26 And he that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations:
27 And he shall rule them with a rod of iron; as the vessels of a potter shall they be broken to shivers: even as I received of my Father.
Revelation 2:26-27

This idea of a group of people, not just Yeshua, ruling over the nations with a rod of iron is repeated in Revelation chapter 12 with the birth of the ‘man child‘. I have spoken of this manchild company often in my blogs.

And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and to his throne.
Revelation12:5

In order to be entrusted with rulership with a ‘rod of Iron‘, Yeshua suffered. Would it be any different for the 144,000 Man-child company that also rule with a rod of Iron?

Before the Exodus there was Moses and two faithful warriors, Joshua and Caleb. They were two faithful witnesses. We read of two witnesses in Revelation 11. As a principle, to be a faithful witness in a perverse generation will naturally mean opposition. Now I am not focusing on the actual identity of the 2 witnesses but using them as an example of the need for faithful people speaking the truth under fire. Now before the 2nd Exodus there will be the 144,000. I suspect there will be two groups of them, one related to the firstfruits of the barley crop during Passover and the other related to the firstfruits of Wheat harvest at Pentecost. I have shared before on previous posts concerning the 144,000. We shall see. It is very near I feel because we are seeing the collapse of our nations as the spirit of Antichrist rises. (But also the Spirit of Yeshua is rising in the remnant of His people). So the 144,000 may actually be two groups of warriors from two different firstfruit harvests, barley and wheat. We shall see. In any case they are instrumental in the exodus as old testament scriptures make clear.

3 Lo, children are an heritage of the Lord: and the fruit of the womb is his reward.
4 As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; so are children of the youth.
5 Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them: they shall not be ashamed, but they shall speak with the enemies in the gate.
Psalms 127:3-5

The above scripture ties in with the manchild company in Revelation 12 because conception is mentioned.

I wonder if so many folk would want to be part of the 144,000 Manchild company if a great deal of suffering was involved? Everybody wants to go to heaven but nobody wants to die.

There appears to me to be two aspects to the 144,000 Manchild group, one aspect is as a suffering servant and sacrificial Lamb. The other aspect is a warrior, a Davidic Lion like King. Where else have we seen that same dual nature? In Yeshua of course! Before he was exalted He suffered.

The 144,000 are referred to as ‘servants‘.

3 Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads.
4 And I heard the number of them which were sealed: and there were sealed an hundred and forty and four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel.
Revelation 7:3-4

Yeshua gave us many parables concerning servants, Matthew 21:33-46, 22:1-14, 25:14, Mark 13:34, Luke 12:37. These servants invited people to the wedding, or they came to collect the wine etc. The husbandmen did want to give them what belonged to the Lord. These servants were shamefully treated and even killed. On the one hand those servants were the old testament prophets and faithful Jews. On the other hand they are the servants of Yeshua who will be commissioned like the disciples in the time of the end. Could the husbandmen both refer to the unbelieving Jewish religious leaders at Yeshua’s time and also the idle shepherds of the House of Israel, the western church in the last days? I think so, and I think that time is right about now! So are the 144,000 amongst this group of servants that Yeshua’s parables spoke of?

Also at the end of Matthew 9 Yeshua speaks of the harvest and to pray that the Lord would send out labourers. In chapter 10 He sent out the 12 disciples to heal the sick, drive out demons, raise the dead and preach the gospel. They were only sent to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. They were sent as lambs amongst wolves two by two. They were to trust the Lord for their provisions and stay in a city and with the same family until the job was done. Those cities that would not endure their message would be cursed. Yeshua said that they would not finish going through the cities of Israel before He returns. But at the time Yeshua had not even left! So Matthew 10 must be prophetic for the future. And perhaps it is the 144,000 that fulfil this harvest commission. In Luke 10 Yeshua sends out the 70 similarly but with no injunction not to go to the gentiles. Does this speak of a Pentecostal commission to the nations by the 144,000 also? Thus this could be part of what the 144,000 are doing initially.

The book of Isaiah speaks of the suffering servant, Yeshua, Isaiah 42:1, 52:13. But this suffering servant may also include those that suffer with Yeshua, including the 144,000. To me there appears two opposing sides to the work of the 144,000. Like Yeshua, there seems to be a time of Holy Ghost empowered ministry while still very mortal and physically vulnerable. They are sealed and their service may lead to increasing suffering of these servants, before their resurrection and ‘rapture’. Why else would they be sealed unless they were still mortal and could be hurt by the judgements of God or man? After their resurrection/rapture the emphasis is on military exploits and supernatural warfare, trampling on snakes and scorpions etc. However what I discovered in an apocryphal book named 2 Esdras shows me that they are raptured and sealed at the same time during one of the feasts. I will discuss this later towards the end of the article. I feel the time is near and we shall soon see one way or the other how things go with these servants. The Lord is already moving by His Spirit world wide as the final grain harvest of souls begins to come in.

How much Torah do we want? How much are we willing to suffer? How much of Yeshua do we really want? What are we willing to forsake to follow our Master? When it comes to being 144,000 material I don’t think the issue is how tough we are, but on how much we want Yeshua. Will we endure the fires of affliction in order to honour the Lord and bring the good news to others? Are we forgiving like Joseph?

So I see two opposing aspects to the 144,000 in scripture, one a servant and another as a warrior. There are many verses in the old a new testaments that allude to them.

But let’s first look at Joseph and Israel’s enslavement in Egypt as a parable for us.

Out of Egypt I called forth my Son

The 2nd Exodus will be like the first exodus, only greater. Everything the Lord does is with types and shadows, with prophecy opening with an earlier, lesser fulfilment leading to a greatly expanded fulfilment. Suffering and deliverance has been a theme all along, ever since the garden of Eden.

We must firstly realise in our hearts that God loves His people. We are to remain in His Love also. We ought to obey Him.

9 As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love.
10 If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father’s commandments, and abide in his love.
John 15:9-10

Clearly Yeshua desires us to obey Him. Perhaps this is something the 144,000 learn to do better than most. Like Joseph they suffer and learn to follow the Lord before being revealed suddenly to their brethren.

When the Lord brought forth the children of Israel out of Egypt it was not due to their righteousness, they were quick to go into idolatry. Neither did they enter the land of Canaan because of their own righteousness but due to the Lord’s mercy and love. See Deuteronomy 6:25,9:4,9:5,9:6.

When Israel was a child, then I loved him, and called my son out of Egypt.
Hosea 11:1

As Israel went down to Egypt so did our Messiah, Yeshua with his parents. As the good Lord brought Israel out of Egypt so he brought Yeshua out also.

And was there until the death of Herod: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, Out of Egypt have I called my son.

Matthew 2:15

Messiah has been with us all along. He knows what we go through, he went with us and He will bring us forth. He is with us now in our current exile in our nations that have become Egypt, Babylon and Sodom. And He is with His 144,000 even now before they are taken.

Joseph in Egypt

But why are we in ‘Egypt’ anyway? Why do we have to live at such a godless time as this? Well historically our forefathers were sent out of the land of Israel, like Adam and Eve were sent out of Eden because of disobedience. OK we are here because of what happened in the past. But we may protest and say we didn’t do it? Well Joseph could also complain. Why did God allow poor Joseph to be betrayed by his brethren and sold as a slave and carried away to Egypt? What sin did he commit?

17 He sent a man before them, even Joseph, who was sold for a servant:
18 Whose feet they hurt with fetters: he was laid in iron (בַּרְזֶל):
19 Until the time that his word came: the word of the Lord tried him.
Psalm 105:17-18

No doubt Joseph was righteous. He was not perfect but he handled his abuse pretty well don’t you think? I imagine he was tempted with all sorts of bitter thoughts as we all would have. But he overcame all of Satan’s fiery darts.

The purpose of his unfair exile from Satan’s perspective was to destroy Joseph the dreamer. But the Lord had another plan. He was showing to the enemy that indeed Joseph had the right stuff to fulfil the dream of ruling over his family. You see to go up we must go down first. If we are to be used of the Lord we are first broken, like Peter, upon the Rock. Why? To come to an end of ourselves and the beginning of God’s grace in our hearts. Whatever we do it is by faith in God and not by works. Like Joseph we are learning to follow so that…

I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.
Galatians 2:20

Once we have died to self, like Joseph did in the pit and prison of Egypt, we can be entrusted with bringing good news to our brethren and those dwelling in darkness. Yeshua must first wash us clean and all our pride and filth of the flesh and finally the rock hard flint-like carnal nature is burnt up. We have to have a heart of flesh. Peter experienced this grace working in his life, changing his self reliance into a sweet but strong Godliness and love.

3 According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue:
4 Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust. 5 And beside this, giving all diligence,

add to your faith virtue;
and to virtue knowledge;
6 And to knowledge temperance;
and to temperance patience;
and to patience godliness;
7 And to godliness brotherly kindness;
and to brotherly kindness charity.

8 For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. 9 But he that lacketh these things is blind, and cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was purged from his old sins. 10 Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall:
II Peter 1:3-10

If Joseph or you or I or the 144,000 are going to be used to bring good news to others to any measure, we must be purged of our sinful, rock hard, carnal nature. The Lord wont let us get away with it, even if others appear to do so. We must clean our hands, we must confess our sins and then He must wash our feet so we can bring others good news.

How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, that publisheth peace; that bringeth good tidings of good, that publisheth salvation; that saith unto Zion, Thy God reigneth!
Isaiah 52:7

Yeshua healed a lame man at the gate called ‘Beautiful‘, Acts 3:2. Once his feet were healed he could preach the good news to others. That’s what we need.

In this dirty old world, beautiful feet don’t come without a great deal of cleaning. How often I have kicked against the Lord, totally misunderstanding His Heart. Let us be purged of thoughts and attitudes that make us barren and unfruitful. Let us confess our sins to our Father in Heaven. If the Lord loves us He may keep us in the vice until we come forth as gold, until we have unlearnt our old ways and learnt His ways.

God help us.

Then we can be entrusted with greater service.

This was part of the purpose of Joseph’s trials, culminating in a forgiving heart. A true priestly and kingly attitude.

And this is what the Lord is doing in the hearts of the 144,000 in all their trials before glory. They are being forged anew in the furnace. And this is what he wants to do in all of us.

Egypt the Iron Furnace

What God did with Joseph was equip him for leadership. He had the spiritual gifts and qualities necessary for leadership. But his character still had to be formed and tested in the crucible as metal is smelted. Whether we are to be vessels of gold or silver or men or women of steel, we have to be put into circumstances that test our metal. And in testing us we are also changed from glory to glory. The more we are refined the more clearly we can see the truth and the glorious Lord of truth.

But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.

II Corinthians 3:18

We are His workmanship, Ephesians 2:10. Once the Lord is satisfied with the work in hand, us, He can bring us forth out of the foundry of trial.

He does that individually and collectively for all Israel. You see He needs us to learn to follow Him and truly hear his voice. This is more than a surface faith whereby we give mental accent to scripture. He sees our heart. The priest searches the heart and the reigns (lit kidneys), Yeshua sees inside us.

I can personally say that it has taken me a long long time to begin to learn some very basic lessons. Number one lesson for me is ‘who is the boss’. Not me anymore. At least I have begun to learn this lesson. Another related lesson is ‘who is right’. It used to be me. Now I know the Lord is right, even if I don’t understand what is going on in my life. I am learning to follow and obey and keep my head down and only lift it up to pray or praise Him.

Anyway the Lord allows trials and affliction to bring us to repentance and work into us His glory and the image of His Son. When we are ready, when we have learnt our lesson, He will bring us out of our trial.

The following three verses say the same thing about the iron furnace of Egypt. God will bring us forth.

But the LORD hath taken you, and brought you forth out of the iron furnace (כּוּר הַבַּרְזֶל), even out of Egypt, to be unto him a people of inheritance, as ye are this day.
Deuteronomy 4:20

For they be thy people, and thine inheritance, which thou broughtest forth out of Egypt, from the midst of the furnace of iron (כּוּר הַבַּרְזֶל):
I Kings 8:51

Which I commanded your fathers in the day that I brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, from the iron furnace, saying, Obey my voice, and do them, according to all which I command you: so shall ye be my people, and I will be your God:
Jeremiah 11:4

So ‘out of Egypt I called forth my son‘ as Hosea says. He has a purpose in our lonely sojourn in a foreign land, or in the furnace of affliction. He brings us forth to praise Him.

The iron is forged in the furnace of affliction. It was true for Joseph. It is true for the 144,000 and it is true for all of us by extension. The 144,000 are firstfruits so they are ready first to ascend from the Egypt of this world in order to bring in the harvest, for they are Yeshua’s servants. Their metal has been proved, they hear His voice, they are humbly keeping Torah and the testimony of Yeshua. They are faithful with the gospel message. They have endured affliction and learnt their lessons. They are the Manchild that rule with a rod of iron, under Yeshua who also rules with a rod of iron above them.

Axe Head floated

We may sink pretty low into the mire of this world but the Lord can bring us out. We may fall but the Lord can save us from drowning, he saved Peter. Truly we should all trust Him no matter what storm comes our way. All I know is that the Lord has brought me through many things in the past and I know who to cling to and who to call when trouble comes.

In the book of second Kings we read in chapter 6 a story about a group of the ‘sons of the prophets‘ who are cutting down trees to make a camp. As they were chopping wood an accident occurs that has deep symbolism.

4 So he went with them. And when they came to Jordan, they cut down wood.
5 But as one was felling a beam, the axe head <literally ‘iron‘, הַבַּרְזֶל> fell <נָפַל> into the water: and he cried, and said, Alas, master! for it was borrowed <שָׁאֽוּל>.
6 And the man of God said, Where fell it? And he shewed him the place. And he cut down a stick <עֵץ>, and cast it in thither; and the iron did swim.
II Kings 6:4-6

Here is my interpretation.

The Jordan represents death. In Adam we all died.

For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.
I Corinthians 15:22

The ‘Axe head‘ is literally ‘the iron‘, הַבַּרְזֶל, in Hebrew. It just so happens that the word ‘iron‘, הַבַּרְזֶל, can also be translated as ‘the son‘,הַבַּרְ, and ‘image‘, זֶל.
The Axe head is the ‘image of the son‘, the man of iron, the manchild.
It is fallen. The 144,000 were fallen like all of us.
It was borrowed, again another wordplay. ‘Borrowed’, שָׁאֽוּל, also can mean ‘sheol‘, the grave.
The 144,000 were fallen and in the grave, having been dead in sin, but then the gospel came.
The ‘tree‘ or ‘stick‘ (etz, עֵץ) is cut down and thrown into the water.
Yeshua the tree of life came into this world to save us, including the 144,000.
The 144,000 were fallen and were redeemed by Yeshua the tree <‘stick‘> of life and keep the torah and come alive. Even risen in resurrection life.
The Axe’s job is to cut down the trees, to cut down the wicked, and build a house.
God’s house, a house of the sons of the prophets, Zion.

The 144,000 shall be used to preach the word and bring in the harvest of souls and bring the nations into submission at Yeshua’s command. They shall rule with Him as we shall see. David was a man of war and he prophesied about the rod of iron, Yeshua and his 144,000 and what they shall do to the wicked nations and their wicked rulers that hate the Lord and plan to get rid of his kingdom.

Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron (בֶט בַּרְזֶל); thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter’s vessel.
Psalms 2:9

Cost of Discipleship

There is so much in the old testament scriptures that are about now and the immediate future. God is good, the best wine is coming now. Light shall shine in gross darkness. Even in a time of Judgement the Lord is faithful and true, He is gathering His ‘saints‘ (Chasdi, חֲסִידָי) together.

4 He shall call to the heavens from above,
and to the earth,
that he may judge his people.
5 Gather my saints <חֲסִידָי> together unto me;
those that have made a covenant with me by sacrifice <זָֽבַח>.
Psalms 50:4-5

Notice that the Lord qualifies who his ‘saints‘ (chasdi, חֲסִידָי) are, they are those that have made a covenant with Him by sacrifice. What is the sacrifice that they bring? I think it is spiritual and is the fulfilment of the sacrificial system in Leviticus which is but a shadow of the spiritual sacrifice.

1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.
2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
Romans 12:1-2

So as a principle we can see that the Lord’s saints that are gathered have made a covenant by sacrifice. And that sacrifice is themselves. They have put into practice what Paul instructs us to do in Romans, they die to self. And that self denial can ultimately lead to death in resisting sin. This is strong meat indeed.

Ye have not yet resisted unto blood, striving against sin.
Hebrews 12:4

There is a cost involved in getting close to our Lord.

26 If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple.
27 And whosoever doth not bear his cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple.
Luke 14:26-27

Thus discipleship is personally costly. How far do we dare to go? There are many believers in Yeshua. But Yeshua has an elect group that go further. They take up their cross and follow Him more than others it would appear from scripture. Like Joseph they are not chosen for nothing. It is my belief that they are tested like Joseph. They go deeper, they go lower in order to go higher.

The 144,000 disciples of Yeshua will soon be sealed.

Torah Sealed amongst His Disciples

By the time we get to Revelation 12:3-4 the 144,000 have been sealed by Yeshua as we have already read. Yeshua has sealed the Torah amongst His disciples. This is also prophesied in the old Testament scriptures…

Bind up the testimony, seal the law among my disciples.
Isaiah 8:16

No doubt they are sealed because they have graduated in some way. The sealing is an end to their old life, they have run the race. But what have they been sealed for? The next few verses that follow what we have just read give us a clue. Firstly God is hiding His face from most of His people and then He shall appear with his children, his firstfruits of Zion, his 144,000, Revelation of John 14:4.

And I will wait upon the LORD, that hideth his face from the house of Jacob, and I will look for him.
Isaiah 8:17

The Lord has sealed the Torah amongst His disciples, His 144,000. There were initially 12 disciples in Yeshua’s time, now there are 12 x 12,000 or 144,000. But He is still hiding His face from the house of Jacob, which is both houses of Israel (10 lost tribes) & Judah (Jews). That means that the rest of God’s people, believing Israel and Judah are not yet raised! This is thus just the firstfruits. So what is the role of the 144,000 Manchild company at the time of their raising up in glory? The next verse gives us a clue.

Behold, I and the children whom the LORD hath given me are for signs and for wonders in Israel from the LORD of hosts, which dwelleth in mount Zion.
Isaiah 8:18

‘Signs and wonders‘ are used to authenticate a ministry, for the establishing of a new order of things and to bring people out of darkness and out of nations. Signs and wonders were used by the Lord to authenticate the ministry of Moses, Yeshua and the disciples and to battle the forces of darkness.

Moses – Exodus 7:3, Deuteronomy 4:34, 6:22, 7:19, 26:8, 34:11,
Nehemiah 9:10, Psalms 78:43, 105:27, Jeremiah 32:20, 32:21
Yeshua – Acts 2:22
Disciples, now Apostles – Acts 2:19, 2:22, 2:43, 4:30, 5:12, 7:36, 14:3
Paul the Apostle – Romans 15:19, II Corinthians 12:12

And so we see that signs and wonders are related to the exodus at Passover and the raising up of the church at Pentecost. The Church is the congregation of Israel, symbolised by the tabernacle. Both the Exodus and the Tabernacle of the congregation are part of the same exodus story. The exodus began in Nissan and the Tabernacle was raised in Nissan a year later. So we can see that signs and wonders are about the deliverance of God’s people and bringing in the harvest of souls which Pentecost is all about, thus filling up God’s house, His body, His Church, His Tabernacle.

The 144,000 are thus about the 2nd exodus and gathering in the sheaves and protecting the flock.

The 2nd exodus gets underway before the main body of the church is raptured. The firstfruits are raptured and sealed first, and the 144,000 are firstfruits.

See the order in I Corinthians 15,

But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ’s at his coming.
I Corinthians 15:23

So there are actually 3 groups in the list above, not 2 as I will explain.

Christ (first of firstfruits, yes)
Firstfruits (but the 144,000 are also firstfruits, Revelation 14:4)
>>> 2nd Exodus begins…
The rest of His people that are Christ’s at his coming.

Between step 2 and 3 is the 2nd exodus. The 2nd exodus occurs between the sealing of the 144,000 and the rapture of the church at His coming.

So the role of the 144,000 after they are sealed is to raise up and protect Zion, the true church of the firstborn, before the main body of the church is also raised in glory. The 144,000 help initiate and expedite the 2nd Exodus as Moses and Aaron did years ago during the first exodus.

2 Esdras – Sealed at the Feast & Clothed in Immortal Garments

2 Esdras was included in the 1611 KJV bible. Whether you consider it ‘Canon’ or not it’s an amazing book. (I would also recommend reading 2 Baruch too!) 2 Esdras 10 has an amazing vision of a woman sad and weeping who then begins to shine and turn into a city!

This woman, whom thou sawest is Sion: and whereas she said unto thee, even she whom thou seest as a city builded,
2 Esdras 10:44

This reminds us of Revelation 12, with a woman giving birth to a man child. In Isaiah 66:7-8,10 this woman is identified as Zion, and 2 Esdras says that the woman is Zion (Sion) also.

Anyway 2 Esdras has some very interesting information concerning the sealing of the Lord’s people in chapter 2. The book of 2 Esdras talks about the number of those in Zion that have fulfilled the Law and are Sealed at the Feast and Clothed in Immortal Garments. Let’s read an excerpt here…

29 My hands shall cover thee, so that thy children shall not see hell. 30 Be joyful, O thou mother, with thy children; for I will deliver thee, saith the Lord. 31 Remember thy children that sleep, for I shall bring them out of the sides of the earth, and shew mercy unto them: for I am merciful, saith the Lord Almighty. 32 Embrace thy children until I come and shew mercy unto them: for my wells run over, and my grace shall not fail. 33 I Esdras received a charge of the Lord upon the mount Oreb <Horeb>, that I should go unto Israel; but when I came unto them, they set me at nought, and despised the commandment of the Lord. 34 And therefore I say unto you, O ye heathen, that hear and understand, look for your Shepherd, he shall give you everlasting rest; for he is nigh at hand, that shall come in the end of the world.

35 Be ready to the reward of the kingdom, for the everlasting light shall shine upon you for evermore. 36 Flee the shadow of this world, receive the joyfulness of your glory: I testify my Saviour openly. 37 O receive the gift that is given you, and be glad, giving thanks unto him that hath led you to the heavenly kingdom.

38 Arise up and stand, behold the number of those that be

sealed
in the
feast of the Lord;

39 Which are departed from the shadow of the world, and have received glorious garments of the Lord.

40 Take thy number, O Sion, and shut up those of thine that are clothed in white, which have fulfilled the law of the Lord. 41 The number of thy children <Revelation gives us the exact number, 144,000>, whom thou longedst for, is fulfilled: beseech the power of the Lord, that thy people, which have been called from the beginning, may be hallowed. 42 I Esdras saw upon the mount Sion a great people, whom I could not number <try counting to 144,000>, and they all praised the Lord with songs.
43 And in the midst of them there was a young man of a high stature, taller than all the rest, and upon every one of their heads he set crowns, and was more exalted; which I marvelled at greatly. 44 So I asked the angel, and said, Sir, what are these? 45 He answered and said unto me, These be they that have put off the mortal clothing, and put on the immortal, and have confessed the name of God: now are they crowned, and receive palms. 46 Then said I unto the angel, What young person is it that crowneth them, and giveth them palms in their hands? 47 So he answered and said unto me, It is the Son of God, whom they have confessed in the world. Then began I greatly to commend them that stood so stiffly for the name of the Lord. 48 Then the angel said unto me, Go thy way, and tell my people what manner of things, and how great wonders of the Lord thy God, thou hast seen.
2 Esdras 2:29-48

This passage from 2 Esdras is important because it tells us extra information that is not found in the bible directly concerning the 144,000 in Revelation 7 or 14. We now know that the ‘144,000‘ are sealed during a feast of the Lord. The bible tells us that three times a year the males are to appear before the Lord, during the feasts (chagim) Unleavened Bread (Matzot), Pentecost (Shavuot) and Tabernacles (Sukkot). So it must be one of those feasts.

My current suspicion is that there is a 144,000 raised during Unleavened Bread which may line up with Revelation 7. And another 144,000 that is raised during Pentecost. These are the sons of Zion, the manchild that the woman Zion gives birth to in Revelation 12. And finally the last feast is where the rest of Zion (the woman or mother, the Bride herself) is raised during Tabernacles. Again, we shall soon find out. The 144,000 protect their mother and fight for the Kingdom. The mother escapes to the wilderness to await her rapture at Sukkot. Her escape from the Dragon is the 2nd Exodus.

The fact that this account tells us of the sealing of those that have ‘fulfilled the law of the Lord‘ aligns with the passage in Isaiah 8:16 that talks about sealing the law amongst my disciples which dovetails with the account of the 144,000 who are sealed. And we are told that they are raised in their immortal bodies which is implied by their glorious garments. There are other details like songs and palm branches that dovetail with the account of the 144,000 in Revelation 7 and 14.

Suffering & Manifestation

We have already talked about suffering to some degree but I would like to leave a few scriptures to highlight the positive outcome of our sufferings in the flesh. If we suffer for doing good, it works in us glory.

18 For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.
19 For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God.

Romans 8:18-19

The original Greek word translated ‘manifestation‘ is ἀποκάλυψις, apokalupsis, which is the same word translated revelation or appearing.

G602 ἀποκάλυψις apokalupsis From G601; disclosure: - appearing, coming, lighten, manifestation, be revealed, revelation. Total KJV occurrences: 18

There is the revelation (revealing or manifestation) of Yeshua and there is the revelation (revealing or manifestation) of the sons of God (144,000 first and then the rest of Zion).

So our sufferings are not to be compared to the glory that shall be revealed in us when the sons of God are manifested or revealed. The 144,000 are firstfruits of the resurrection. They are resurrected/raptured first and thus they will be manifested first. So it can be inferred that they have suffered and learnt their lessons first. They have kept the commandments of God. They have fulfilled the law, the Torah. Some may say that this is not possible because nobody can keep the commandments completely. But they obeyed God in a way that He is pleased enough in them to raise them up as firstfruits. The Law is established by the just that walk by faith.

Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law.
Romans 3:31

Part of Torah obedience is being true to the Messiah, Yeshua, the very one that the Law is a school master to bring us to, Galatians 3:24-25. And suffering is involved in following Him. And suffering is involved in preaching the gospel and reaching the lost. Satan doesn’t like that. He fights back. Spiritual battle is costly.

The book of Hebrews tells us of Jewish people who were tortured in the period of time of the Greek invasions of Israel in the times between the old and new testament. We are told that they chose martyrdom rather than deliverance so that they would ‘obtain a better resurrection‘. There are rewards for obedience. And there will be rewards given at their resurrection.

Women received their dead raised to life again: and others were tortured, not accepting deliverance; that they might obtain a better resurrection:
Hebrews 11:35

The Apostle Paul suffered greatly for the gospel’s sake. But he hoped for a better resurrection too.

8 Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ,
9 And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith:
10 That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death;
11 If by any means I might attain unto the resurrection of the dead
Philippians 3:8-11

We will all be resurrected so Paul’s reference to the resurrection of the dead after mentioning his suffering the loss of all things hints at his hope of a resurrection that must be a better resurrection. Why hope for something that all believers are going to get anyway? What Paul was after was a better resurrection, not a normal resurrection for a believer.

Paul reiterates these thoughts and says that if we are dead with him we shall live with him. Our suffering will lead to reigning with Him. So I suspect this same principle holds true for the 144,000 also.

10 Therefore I endure all things for the elect’s sakes, that they may also obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory.
11 It is a faithful saying: For if we be dead with him, we shall also live with him:
12 If we suffer, we shall also reign with him: if we deny him, he also will deny us:
II Timothy 2:10-12

The Apostle Peter also states that trials of faith lead to glory!

6 Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a season, if need be, ye are in heaviness through manifold temptations:
7 That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ:
8 Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory:
1 Peter 1:6-8

12 Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you:
13 But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ’s sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy.
14 If ye be reproached for the name of Christ, happy are ye; for the spirit of glory and of God resteth upon you: on their part he is evil spoken of, but on your part he is glorified.
1 Peter 4:12-14

So I suspect that those that are chosen to be part of the 144,000 have been found faithful, obedient to the covenant and Torah, they have overcome their fiery trials and suffering to obtain the glory of reigning with Messiah Yeshua as His firstfruits of the resurrection/rapture.

You could say, “no guts, no glory“. But it’s not about how tough we are in the flesh, it’s really about how far we want to go in knowing the Lord; How much we seek His face; How much we sacrifice in order to obtain Messiah. He brings us through all our trials by his power, not our own. We know Him more intimately than others because we draw closer to Him and seek Him more fervently and obey Him more fully and love Him more ardently and suffer more and sacrifice more to obtain that closeness and clinging faith no matter what.

The Iron that overcomes the enemy

Let us now meditate on some uplifitng thoughts. Trials don’t last forever. The Lord is the deliverer from all our trials.

Passover is all about the deliverance of God’s people. Peter was in prison during the Passover and Unleavened Bread period. But prayer was given without ceasing by the church and low and behold the angels of God delivered Him. Even an iron gate could not hold Him back. This is not only history it is also symbolic for the future and a future deliverance. The 2nd Exodus is coming.

When they were past the first and the second ward, they came unto the iron gate that leadeth unto the city; which opened to them of his own accord: and they went out, and passed on through one street; and forthwith the angel departed from him.
Acts 12:10

The gospel is advancing in the book of Acts. There is increasingly severe persecution along with increasing fruitfulness in the ministry. Souls are being saved. But the spiritual authorities are fighting back. Yet the church is not idle, they are praying fervently. The Lord answered their fervent prayers and sent his Angel to deliver Peter during Unleavened Bread.

Is this a picture of the rescue and raising of the 144,000 during the same Chag to appear before the Lord in the Heavenly Mt Zion?

Leading up to the 2nd exodus there will be a great deal of persecution. In the book of Acts there was a massive move of God’s Spirit that lead to salvation and repentance. The religious leaders of the day instigated persecution. The political leaders often felt threatened also. The same upheaval should be expected during the events leading up to the 2nd exodus. These events are the persecutions Yeshua spoke of in Matthew 24, Mark 13 and Luke 21.

The manchild company shall rule with a rod of iron according to Revelation 12:5. These are the overcomers of Thyatira, the fourth church of the seven churches of Revelation. Thyatira is the central church and so the manchild is birthed from the centre of the woman, Zion, the church of the firstborn.

26 And he that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations:
27 And he shall rule them with a rod of iron; as the vessels of a potter shall they be broken to shivers: even as I received of my Father.
Revelation 2:26-27

We need to realise afresh that the Kingdom of God is coming. There will come a time when Lambs become Lions, and that transformation occurred for our Lord 3 days after His death as the Passover Lamb. The true believing remnant Church is Zion and Zion shall triumph in the end against all the Lord’s enemies. The 144,000 are the first of her suffering seed to be sealed and raised before the 2nd exodus. Later all of Zion shall likewise triumph after the 2nd exodus begins.

Arise and thresh, O daughter of Zion: for I will make thine horn iron, and I will make thy hoofs brass: and thou shalt beat in pieces many people: and I will consecrate their gain unto the LORD, and their substance unto the Lord of the whole earth.
Micah 4:13

Psalm 2 also mentions the one who rules with a rod of iron. This is both Yeshua and the overcomers of Thyatira beneath him, the man child. The kings and rulers of the world are enraged with the Lord יהוה, but it doesn’t matter, the Lord is coming. All they can do is rage against the Lord’s people. But the Lord has his chosen. Yeshua is in the heavenly Mt Zion in Psalm 2. And so are His 144,000 according to Revelation 14:1, who are his sons who will assist Him in breaking the grip of the wicked of the nations and their leaders.

Psalms 2:1-12

1 Why do the heathen rage,
and the people imagine a vain thing?

2 The kings of the earth set themselves,
and the rulers take counsel together,
against the LORD,
and against his anointed <Messiah>, saying,

3 Let us break their bands asunder,
and cast away their cords from us.

4 He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh:
the Lord shall have them in derision.

5 Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath,
and vex them in his sore displeasure.

6 Yet have I set my king
upon my holy hill of Zion.

7 I will declare the decree:
the LORD hath said unto me,
Thou art my Son;
this day have I begotten thee.

8 Ask of me,
and I shall give thee
the heathen for thine inheritance,
and the uttermost parts of the earth
for thy possession.

9 Thou shalt break them with a
rod of iron;
thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter’s vessel.

10 Be wise now therefore, O ye kings:
be instructed, ye judges of the earth.

11 Serve the LORD with fear,
and rejoice with trembling.

12 Kiss the Son, lest he be angry,
and ye perish from the way,
when his wrath is kindled but a little.
Blessed are all they that put their trust in him.

Conclusion

At the darkest of days the Lord rescued his people Israel and delivered them from Pharaoh and the iron furnace of Egypt. On Passover the Lamb was slain and Yeshua died. It was not a hopeless death, but His blood paid for our redemption and purchased our souls. His blood paid the price for the 2nd Exodus and our eternal future with Him. Let us lift up our hearts and fix our gaze upon the Lamb of God this Passover. The King is coming and the King has His men. And He has His women also. The Holy Spirit is already moving. Souls will be saved. God is dividing sheep from goats. There is a harvest already ramping up as our nations descend into chaos. It is not about our sinking nations anymore, it is about His Kingdom. The Lord has chosen His servants, His disciples, those who have made a covenant with Him by sacrifice. Lambs will be Lions one day soon. In the mean time let us be about His Kingdom and hope in Him.
The world is ramping up for war. I thought it would have already come by now. But it will come soon enough, even as a flood. I believe the raising up and rapture of the 144,000 is very near as are the birthpangs and the 2nd exodus. The Lord has His men of Steel. The iron that fell be shall be raised up.
Over the last year or so I have written many articles concerning the 144,000. I think there is an expectancy everywhere of their rapture and commissioning coming soon. I feel it’s at the door. In the mean time let’s find out what the Lord wants in our own lives. Don’t focus on the collapse of our nations but on the coming Kingdom and what your King, Yeshua wants. Be careful what you focus on, it is not a time to be despondent. Yes the bad guys are doing bad things but the Lord is very much on the move. Both Darkness and Light are dividing and ramping up in intensity. Let’s lift up our heads our redemption is drawing nearer. Yeshua is coming soon.

Godbless, Shalom & Chag Sameach (a few days early!)
in Yeshua HaMashiach

The Revival of Queen Vashti or Queen Esther?

23/2/2023

1 Comment

In a time of judgement and war in heaven and on earth two Queens shall come into focus. Like Satan and his host, Queen Vashti falls while Queen Esther, like the remnant Church of Zion, is delivered. In the Song of Songs the bride is asleep when her Groom comes. There is an awakening of the bride of Messiah but only a remnant shall be ‘revived’ from slumber. ‘Revival’ can be a mixed bag. There can be a false and a true ‘Revival’ at the same time. We are approaching the end. The earth is beginning to shake, God is at work, and the enemy is not sleeping either. We have choices to make, the bride must make herself ready. Our nations will soon be destroyed. The 144,000 shall be raised. The remnant of Zion shall be saved. Let’s get ready, the 2nd Exodus is coming. Yeshua is coming.

Introduction
What is ‘Revival’?
Revival & Deliverance
Twins. God is doing two things at the same time
Wicked Elites leading mankind to their deaths
The Door of the Ark is open even in War
Rise of the Antichrist
Hope for a Fatherless Generation

Introduction

Does ‘Revival’ and bloodshed go hand in hand? This godless age is coming to a bloody end. God loves people enough to shake them up in order to save souls. God hates sin enough to eventually have to judge it. If He let it go any longer then it would not be merciful. We are living in a time when God’s Judgement and His Mercy meet. The Holy Spirit is on the move even as the Grim Reaper goes about his evil work. In the Garden of Eden there was a tree of life and a tree of the knowledge of good and evil that led to death. Humanity has been given a choice. Yeshua is calling.

This godless and ‘fatherless generation’ is going to see things never seen before. We are entering a time of ‘Wars & Rumours of Wars’, Matthew 24:6, Mark 13:7 and we will have to make choices. As we ponder our path we should be prayerful and wise. The Ruach HaKodesh (Holy Spirit) is active as we enter into this period of judgement. Introspection may lead to personal ‘Revival’ which leads to Repentance and Faith. The Lord is shaking things up physically and spiritually. There is a harvest coming, a harvest of souls. The Lord is going to bring some folks to salvation in this time of judgement. The bride of Messiah must make herself ready. An exodus is coming along with the rapture of the 144,000. So it’s time for the bride to awaken. The book of Revelation tells us about a whore and a bride, two Queens with two opposing destinies. What ‘Revival’ shall we be a part of?

In the book of Esther we read about two Queens and the events that led to what is called ‘Purim’. Both Queen Vashti and Queen Esther made choices that affected their destiny. ‘Purim’ comes from the word ‘pur’ meaning ‘lot’ or ‘choice’.

Esther 9:23-26
23 And the Jews undertook to do as they had begun, and as Mordecai had written unto them; 24 Because Haman the son of Hammedatha, the Agagite, the enemy of all the Jews, had devised against the Jews to destroy them, and had cast Pur (פּוּר), that is, the lot (goral, גּוֹרָל), to consume them, and to destroy them;

25 But when Esther came before the king, he commanded by letters that his wicked device, which he devised against the Jews, should return upon his own head, and that he and his sons should be hanged on the gallows.

26 Wherefore they called these days Purim (פוּרִים) after the name of Pur (פּוּר). Therefore for all the words of this letter, and of that which they had seen concerning this matter, and which had come unto them,

The Day of Atonement is called Yom Kippur in Hebrew. In Leviticus 23:27 it is referred to in the plural by calling it a ‘Day of Atonements’, ‘Yom HaKippurim’, יוֹם הַכִּפֻּרִים. This can also be translated as a ‘Day like Purim’ because the כִּ, ‘Ki’ in כִּפֻּרִים, ‘Kippurim’ can also mean ‘like’. In Yom Kippur there are two goats, one is taken to the wilderness and thrown over a cliff top and a lot (goral, גּוֹרָל) is cast to see which is chosen to be that scape goat (Azazel in Hebrew). So both Purim and Yom Kippur have a lot, (goral, גּוֹרָל) or a Pur (פּוּר), a choice, a judgement to make. So both ‘Purim’ and ‘Yom HaKippurim’ are about judgement and choice.

A different word, but also spelt the same way, ‘pur’, (Strongs H6565 פּרר) is used to refer to the earth being severely and violently shaken, פּוֹר הִֽתְפּוֹרְרָה. We could be coming to a time of choosing very shortly and it could be in time of increasingly severe shaking. We may have a ‘Revival amidst Judgement’. An outpouring of the Ruach HaKodesh (Holy Spirit) in a time of war and earthquakes. Is this now? We may all experience our own purim, a time of choices and revival, during a time of shaking where the earth is ‘clean dissolved’ (pur hitporror, פּוֹר הִֽתְפּוֹרְרָה) which actually means violently shaken.

Isaiah 24:19-20
19 The earth is utterly broken down, the earth is clean dissolved (pur, hitporrorפּוֹר ,הִֽתְפּוֹרְרָה), the earth is moved exceedingly.
רֹעָה הִֽתְרֹעֲעָה הָאָרֶץ פּוֹר הִֽתְפּוֹרְרָה אֶרֶץ מוֹט הִֽתְמוֹטְטָה אָֽרֶץ׃

20 The earth shall reel to and fro like a drunkard, and shall be removed like a cottage; and the transgression thereof shall be heavy upon it; and it shall fall, and not rise again.

We could be entering into that time. Indeed I suspect that we may have already moved into it. Please read my previous posts concerning the prophecies in Haggai and Zechariah about the ‘24th day’ countdown. We may witness the Lord bringing ‘Revival amidst Judgement’! Stay Alert!

I believe that the Red horse of Revelation 6 that takes peace from the earth is already beginning to make it’s move. There shall be a lot of killing as things escalate. I have put a 1 minute video out telling my concerns. Of course it gets few hits on YouTube. I point to the ‘24th Day countdown’ in the above articles.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FieSJJpf-V8

In the book of Esther we have recorded a deliverance for the Jewish people in captivity in Persia from a NAZI like character called Haman. We are entering a similar time with a similar spirit in our governments. (Since Covid, they are moving together in Lockstep.) However on top of all that internal intrigue that went on in Esther's time we also have the prospect of War. On top of that we have severe persecution, economic collapse, famines, pestilence and earthquakes to look forward to. But the Ruach HaKodesh (Holy Spirit) is moving and the Lord is going to bring the remnant of his people out of the nations. Miracles will happen in the midst of carnage. ‘Revival’ is coming to His remnant church (congregation) which is Zion. But what is ‘Revival’?

What is ‘Revival’?

‘Revival’ is really about a move of God’s Holy Spirit that causes us to change the direction we are going in, and that change of direction is called ‘repentance’. Repentance is the fruit of any true seeds of revival. It is about ‘choice’. It is about choosing the right way. It is about truly following Yeshua. A true revival is about repentance. It is God’s goodness that brings us to repentance. ‘Revival’ can also be an increased move of God’s Holy Spirit bringing someone who already is walking with God into a higher level in their walk with Him. In both cases, ‘Revival’ is a work of God’s grace and goodness that brings us closer to Him. We should all be living a life of repentance.

Romans 2:4 Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering; not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance?

I don’t believe we have that much time left before certain judgement comes upon our nations. It is already here and it is growing day by day. God is gracious but the door is closing. It is not closed yet, but it is closing. So we will have one last big ‘Revival’ for a ‘very small remnant’ that shall be gathered in.

Isaiah 1:9 Except the LORD of hosts had left unto us a very small remnant, we should have been as Sodom, and we should have been like unto Gomorrah.

The heat is on and the race to the finish line is about to commence. The fires of ‘Revival’ may soon be followed by the fires of hell. Certainly big things are coming. A bear is being awoken from its long slumber. It is being pricked and prodded in the North. A Dragon is about to make it’s move in the East.

We have choices to make. Are we a bride or a whore? Are we wise virgins or foolish? Purim is here. Choose wisely as if it was Judgement Day. If you are already walking with the Lord then He may draw you even closer during this time. We all have spots on our garments while in this flesh. Let us turn our hearts towards our Saviour with renewed vigour.

Sometimes the Holy Spirit brings revival leading to repentance individually and sometimes His Spirit moves upon a number of people. And the enemy is always at work at the very same time, sowing tares amongst the wheat or false conversions amongst the true. I believe that there are those that are truly saved during such revivals and there are others that are not, they are counterfeit. So both God and Satan can be at work at the very same time. We should therefore understand that if the Lord is doing something, the enemy is out to muddy the waters and sow his seed too. That’s just what he does.

I believe that the Lord will separate the wheat from the tares very soon. Persecution will help separate the true from the false. But deliverance is coming too.

Revival & Deliverance

The title of this blog may be a little forced, because Vashti did not bring revival. And Queen Esther did not bring revival either, but she was instrumental in the salvation of her people, the Jews, who were now captives in a foreign land. Revival or more accurately a move of God’s Holy Spirit, leads us to repentance and salvation. Vashti went one way, Esther went another way. So they represent two types of people, and by extension two types of revivals of those people. Are we Carnal or Spiritual? We need ‘Revival’ that leads to repentance and we need deliverance from our oppressors.

Our nations are actually in the midst of a gradual judgement that is gathering pace. Our nations are not what they used to be are they? Our nations are morally bankrupt, mad, poisoned and committing suicide. And our freedoms are being taken away. How many travel as they once did? We are being quarantined. Lockdowns are followed by destruction of food production and organised famines. We are being turned into captives by our own governments. Our nations are being destroyed from the inside out, before they are attacked from the outside. So like Esther, we and our people are in need of deliverance. But what kind of deliverance can we hope for? And what kind of believer are we? We all need to seek the Lord humbly, myself included.

The Day of Atonement or Yom Kippur is about ‘Spiritual deliverance’. Notice that the word ‘pur’ is in ‘Yom Kippur’. Purim is about redemption and a very real ‘Physical deliverance’ and salvation for God’s people in the very nation of our captivity. More and more we are seeing our nations turn into dystopian nightmare states. Good is now called Evil and Evil is now called Good. Truth is being cast to the ground. Darkness is falling. But God can bring the greatest light in the time of the greatest darkness. The Light shall arise upon us when our nations are in ‘gross darkness’. I know I quote some verses a lot, but it bears thinking about as things grow darker.

Isaiah 60:1-2
1 Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the LORD is risen upon thee.

2 For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the LORD shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee.

This is a literal visible shining and glory that shall come upon the remnant. Just like what came upon Moses while he was in his flesh. It is literal visible light shining from our bodies. This is no small deal. During a ‘Revival’ God is calling us. ‘Revival’ leads to repentance which will lead to our glorification in these last of the last days!

Romans 8:30 Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified.

The Lord has promised to build his church or congregation. We are coming to the end of the ‘Church Age’ and amongst all the hype and deception I believe we shall have a true end time move of the Holy Spirit, a true grass roots ‘Revival’ at a time of absolute peril and the destruction of our nations. God is putting something together as our nations fall apart. The final Pentecost is not far away. It shall be a time of darkness and judgement. There will be false Christs and New Age Antichrist’s and the final Antichrist. There will be uncleanness, death and darkness and at the very same time a ‘True Revival’ and a true turning to the Lord.

Joel 2:28-30
28 And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions:

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

30 And I will shew wonders in the heavens and in the earth, blood, and fire, and pillars <palmtrees> of smoke.

The above verse looks like a ‘Revival’ and outpouring of God’s spirit in a time of great judgement and peril. Mushroom clouds and ‘Revival’ all at the same time. Joel’s prophecy only partly fulfilled in Acts chapter 2 looks like ‘Revival’ amidst world war 3. This indeed is where things are quickly headed. The Russian bear is being stirred up by a decadent west. The outcome is much bloodshed and death. God is allowing this because our western nations are so sick He has to allow the wicked a short time to bring destruction from within and without. He will deal with them later.

We shall see ‘Revival’ but it will not save our nations. It will save some within our nations! An exodus is coming. Has your messianic leader told you? The final revival shall lead to us leaving our nations for the wilderness and promised land. Both ‘Revival and life’ along with ‘deception and death’ are coming upon us. So we sure need ‘Revival’ but gross darkness and deception go hand in hand with this ‘Final Revival’ according to Joel.

How then can we discern what a ‘True Revival’ is? I think we can all agree that we are in dire need of ‘Revival’ that leads to a closer walk with the Lord which in turn brings greater obedience and power. So ‘Revival’ should lead us to greater obedience. ‘Revival’ is the ‘awakening’ that should lead us to turning to God. The turning to God is the repentance. So ‘Revival’ is not an end in of itself but rather a means by which the Holy Spirit (Ruach HaKodesh) causes us to awaken and turn to God. Without ‘Revival’ that leads to repentance there can be no victory because victory comes through obedience. All throughout the Torah we are reminded that if we obey the Lord then He will bring victory. The choice is ours. Are we obedient, are we listening to His Voice?

Exodus 23:20-22
20 Behold, I send an Angel before thee, to keep thee in the way, and to bring thee into the place which I have prepared.

21 Beware of him, and obey his voice, provoke him not; for he will not pardon your transgressions: for my name is in him.

22 But if thou shalt indeed obey his voice, and do all that I speak; then I will be an enemy unto thine enemies, and an adversary unto thine adversaries.

This Angel is the Angel of the Lord, Yeshua. God is patient but he will not always turn the other way when we sin. Today is the day of Salvation. Are we listening? Victory and Lawlessness do not walk together as friends any more than Esther and Vashti or Mordecai and Haman. And neither does a bookish Law keeping. A true lawful obedience should be accompanied by works of faith if the Holy Spirit is leading us. If we are not led by the Spirit of God, we are not His sons!

Romans 8:14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.

The period of Purim represents a major God given victory for the Jewish people in a time of tremendous existential danger. Esther had to make a choice, to put her life on the line for her people. God worked behind the scenes through circumstances to bring about an unlikely redemption. God has not changed. And the Lord יהוה is looking for those that fear Him and have a perfect heart towards Him that He may display his power. Are we willing to put our life in jeopardy to save others?

Luke 17:33 Whosoever shall seek to save his life shall lose it;
and whosoever shall lose his life shall preserve it.

Can He find such a one at this time? God help us all to put the Kingdom first.

2 Chronicles 16:9 For the eyes of the LORD run to and fro throughout the whole earth,

to shew himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward him.

Herein thou hast done foolishly: therefore from henceforth thou shalt have wars.

Is not war coming? Are we not in need of such deliverance today? Are we not experiencing the same malevolent forces in our nations and world today?

1 Peter 3:12 For the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and his ears are open unto their prayers: but the face of the Lord is against them that do evil.

God is with us if we are with Him. He is working behind the scenes to bring our deliverance. Are we walking in righteousness? It is often in a time of peril when we are ‘on the brink’ of disaster and ‘our back is against the wall’ that the difference between the righteous and the wicked is manifested and contrasted. The Lord brought the children of Israel across the red sea. He opened up a miracle deliverance in an impossible situation. The Lord has not changed.

I know I am hammering the point but I want you to remember it. ‘Revival’ should lead to obedience to God’s word and God’s Holy Spirit. Both Vashti and Esther made choices. What Spirit are we listening to? Are we Vashti of Esther? Both Queens are symbolic, representing two different kingdoms or ways of thinking. Are we worldly believers or genuine ‘true blue’? We are not told much about Vashti, we do not know her back story and the reasons why she did things. But I believe that she is symbolic of a Queen that would not obey the King. This sounds like much of what is called the church (and sadly too many that are ‘proud messianics’). What happened in the book of Esther and the courts of the capital city of Shushan is an analog to what is to happen in the Heavenly court in the last days when Satan is cast out and the Bride of Messiah is revealed. Vashti was Self willed and did what was right in her own eyes but not what was right in the eyes of her king. Esther was Spirit led because she did that was right before the Lord and for her people at the risk to her own life. Queen Vashti represents the whore church, Satan’s Babylon, and his rebellious angels while Queen Esther represents the true obedient Spirit led bride of Messiah. Satan and his host like Queen Vashti are cast down while the true bride of Messiah has the ear of her king and brings salvation to the remnant of her people.

Twins. God is doing two things at the same time

Sometimes God can be doing two things at the same time. Sometimes darkness and light can be manifested at the same time. Sometimes two babies can be born at the same time, two kingdoms birthed from the same womb. Children may look adorable at first glance, but one goes the way of Esau and the other goes the way of Jacob or Cain and Abel etc. We are living in a deceptive time, a time of increasing spiritual darkness. Two babies maybe being birthed at the same time during the same ‘Revival’. God will bring judgement upon Israel and the Church first!

Amos 9:8 Behold, the eyes of the Lord GOD are upon the sinful kingdom,

and I will destroy it from off the face of the earth;

saving that I will not utterly destroy the house of Jacob, saith the LORD.

Destruction is coming to the wicked of the ‘house of Jacob’. There is much of the house of Jacob in the ‘north country’ called North America, consisting of Canada, USA and a bit of Mexico. And he shall bring us out of Australia, New Zealand and Great Britain and wherever else the 10 lost tribes of the House of Israel are scattered.

Jeremiah 23:7-8
7 Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that they shall no more say, The LORD liveth, which brought up the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt;

8 But, The LORD liveth, which brought up and which led the seed of the house of Israel out of the north country, and from all countries whither I had driven them; and they shall dwell in their own land.

Our Free lands are actually places of captivity that we were driven to by God and now the Jail bars are appearing. The Jail breaker is coming. God will bring us out, but not all of us. For the wicked shall be destroyed and sadly many lukewarm believers in the Church of Laodicea shall make their garments white through martyrdom if they are saved at all.

Revelation 3:17-20
17 Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:

18 I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see.

19 As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.

20 Behold, I stand at the door, and knock (‘Revival’): if any man hear my voice, and open the door (Repentance), I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me (Communion).

Many in the Church of Laodicea that don’t truly repent may be our greatest persecutors, thinking that they are doing God service by judging us. Laodicea means ‘judgement of the people’. Judgement, δίκη, could also be rendered as ‘vengeance’, so Laodicea can also mean ‘vengeance of the people’. It appears in Acts 28:4. So many in Laodicea could become filled with a spirit of vengeance against the true bride. So there may be two revivals going on at the same time, a true one and a counterfeit Laodicean one.

Amongst all the trash and counterfeit in the midst of a ‘Revival’, there may be genuine ‘Revival’ accompanied by salvation and repentance. Repentance should not just be an entrance into the Kingdom but it should continue on as a daily way of life, we should be daily ‘walking in repentance’. So we could see some young people actually awakening from their godless stupor. Some lukewarm believers may become zealous for the Lord also. If it is a true repentance and zeal then it should lead to humble obedience to God’s Law written on the heart. This is a process that takes time. The Holy Spirit should be present and there will be signs following. And there will be a counterfeit move of Satan at the same time. Because he likes to mingle his seed amongst it all. So others will have an ‘experience’ but they wont really repent and be broken. They could become zealous with the wrong sort of zeal, the zeal of a persecutor that thinks they are right.

John 16:2 They shall put you out of the synagogues:
yea, the time cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth God service.

Purim like Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement, is about choice. Will we choose correctly? Will we choose the Lord? Will we rightly divide the word of truth? Are we one with a ‘sinful kingdom’ or are we the ‘remnant of Jacob’ that shall be saved? Is our lot with the Lord or with Azazel?

Like twins in Rebekah’s womb our nations are a mixture of good and evil. Our nations are becoming wicked cesspits of sin and wilful rebellion. But there are pockets of light amidst a sea of darkness. Haman represents Satanic evil. Haman is a descendant of Amalek through Agag. Haman represents the forces of Evil, especially the elites of the world that are dead set to destroy God’s people if they can. The spirit of Haman and his ilk may destroy America and the western world but he wont destroy the ‘Israel of God’ if we are listening to the Lord.

Sadly our churches have gone the broad way to destruction for the most part. Many lukewarm believers made their worldly choices years ago and now they are too blind and too deaf to even hear the voice of the Lord. Then there are some ‘Torah keepers’ that are too proud to enjoy the company of Moses, the humblest man on earth. Or they are too self satisfied to enjoy the presence of King David who confessed in Psalms 40:12, “mine iniquities have taken hold upon me, so that I am not able to look up; they are more than the hairs of mine head: therefore my heart faileth me.”

So let us humbly make our choices according to the Light of God’s word. Let us keep our head down in humility but let us also lift up our head heavenward in hope and prayer. Hoping always for the best, praying for others no matter how we are treated. It’s far easier for the flesh to be puffed up and proud than humble and dependant upon God. I know it hurts to have a beating heart. If we have a heart we need to guard it too. We need to be wise and not give what is holy to dogs. But we need to pray for opportunities to be kind and show the love of Messiah in whatever time is left to those who need it. Many hearts are growing cold, but not all. Some folks are going to turn to the Lord soon as they see the darkness descend they will seek the Lord. Not all, but some.

There is a time to feast and a time to fast, but it’s always a time to cast in our ‘lot’ (pur) with the Lord and obey Him from the heart. We shall all see miracles soon because we shall all need them if we are to survive. We are going home soon one way or another. The 144,000 will soon rise and be put to work in the harvest. Zion will soon leave our shattered nations in the 2nd Exodus. And the Holy Spirit is already moving. Things are quickening, both for good and for evil. So the pace of judgement and salvation of the remnant will increase along with the earthquakes and wars and rumours of wars. God is moving and so is the Devil. Pray always. Don’t be drunk on wine or a ‘false revival’. A ‘true revival’ is here too. Yeshua is coming soon.

Luke 21:34-36
34 And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares.

35 For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth.

36 Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.

Wicked Elites leading mankind to their deaths

Esau hated Jacob and plotted his destruction. A remnant of Esau is saved, just like Jacob. So we cannot blame our ancestry for our choices. Esau is the west, not the Arab, which is Ishmael etc. The western elites are plotting the demise of Jacob and they want control over Jerusalem in the spirit of Antichrist. They are executing their plan to destroy our nations. Amalek comes from Esau. And Agag comes from Amalek. And Haman comes from Agag. Haman hung on his own gallows by the intervention of faithful Esther and the grace of God. The only way we will not hang on the Elites’ gallows is if we are walking in repentance and like Esther have the ear of the King of Heaven, Yeshua. Are we humbly walking in Righteousness, that is the key? Eventually time runs out for the godless Elites that are running this world into the ground. But we have a time of trial coming first. Oh God ‘Revive Us’! The enemy is at the door, help us to hear your voice when you knock Yeshua. Let judgement fall where it will but may we be counted worthy to escape all these things and stand before you, Luke 21:36. Lord please bring us home, we are your servants. Save us from the wicked that speak lies. Save us. Let us speak your word with power.

Isaiah 54:17 No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness is of me, saith the LORD.

The wicked Elites and wicked nations headed by Edom have taken council together against God’s people. If we are walking in obedience then God hears our voices. We are His Sons and Daughters. We can petition Him. He is our Father!

Psalms 83:1-18
1 A Song or Psalm of Asaph. Keep not thou silence, O God: hold not thy peace, and be not still, O God.
2 For, lo, thine enemies make a tumult: and they that hate thee have lifted up the head.
3 They have taken crafty counsel against thy people, and consulted against thy hidden ones.
4 They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation; that the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance.
5 For they have consulted together with one consent: they are confederate against thee:
6 The tabernacles of Edom, and the Ishmaelites; of Moab, and the Hagarenes;
7 Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek; the Philistines with the inhabitants of Tyre;
8 Assur also is joined with them: they have holpen the children of Lot. Selah.

9 Do unto them as unto the Midianites; as to Sisera, as to Jabin, at the brook of Kison:
10 Which perished at Endor: they became as dung for the earth.
11 Make their nobles like Oreb, and like Zeeb: yea, all their princes as Zebah, and as Zalmunna:
12 Who said, Let us take to ourselves the houses of God in possession.

13 O my God, make them like a wheel; as the stubble before the wind.
14 As the fire burneth a wood, and as the flame setteth the mountains on fire;
15 So persecute them with thy tempest, and make them afraid with thy storm.
16 Fill their faces with shame; that they may seek thy name, O LORD.
17 Let them be confounded and troubled for ever; yea, let them be put to shame, and perish:
18 That men may know that thou, whose name alone is JEHOVAH, art the most high over all the earth.

The Door of the Ark is open even in War

God will deal with the wicked Elites in His time. Yeshua is in control not them. Maybe at present you are not able to minister. I struggle to find hungry souls too. But it’s coming. God is going to save souls. He is already at work. There is a remnant that shall be saved, not only from amongst Israel and the lost tribes but also amongst the nations. Much of Israel will be cut off due to wilful rebellion. The Lord will have a full house though even if we have to go into the highways and byways to find them.

Although the door of the Ark of Salvation is closing, it is not closed yet. Yeshua still says...

Matthew 11:28-30
28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.

30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.

Yeshua’s yoke is easy. The Torah is actually light. Yeshua is still the good shepherd that searches for His sheep. Yeshua is still the way, the truth and the life, John 14:6.

Rise of the Antichrist

God is releasing judgements upon the nations. Natural disasters are increasing. People are being killed via vaccines. And now nations are being stirred to fight in Europe and elsewhere. They are being set up for war. There are many hurts amongst many nations including Russia. The Russians are just people like everyone else, they can do good and they can do evil. This is a proud and godless generation. All the nations have forgotten God to a large degree. But there are believers even in Russia too. In Russia, like other nations, there is some good and much that is not good, and every shade in between. In some ways it’s more moral than the once Christian United States. America has pockets of believers amidst a godless, porn addicted, sodomitish, drug infested wasteland. I believe Russia is coming. God has some scores to settle. We need to be prayerful.

Russia is a permanent member of the United Nations security council along with America, Great Britain, France and China! Putin works for the same globalists that uncle Sam does. They work together at the top. The welfare of their own people is not their primary concern. Their main aim is to bring the Antichrist to power. Their main enemy is Almighty God. They oppose Yeshua HaMashiach. They oppose the true Church, the called out blood bought followers of Yeshua.

Wars are manufactured. They are planned many years in advance. Our world leaders are already working together with globalist aims, Covid should be evidence enough of that. Putin is about to use Russia and destroy much of its own manhood in a useless war that will exhaust it and Europe and destroy America as we know it. That’s how I suspect it’s unfolding.

What will be gained by all this mayhem? The wars are creating the chaos from which the Antichrist shall arise with a false healing under his blasphemous wings. He will arise as the ‘Mr Fix it’ with the sweet talk that will give the remaining people hope. The bible says that he will arise through ‘flatteries’, Daniel 11:21, 11:32, 11:34. He will be so seemingly benign, harmless and affable, Mr Nice Guy, at least initially. Many of the Jews will accept him, the Muslims will love him, the greenies will adore him and the godless will accept him because he will appear to have the answers. But he speaks with a forked tongue.

So the war machines of the world will be used to destroy manhood in Russia, Europe and America and elsewhere. The west has goaded Russia and the people of Russia are taking the bate and with some justification. Americans took the bate of 9-11. Russia has been manipulated also. Russia will no doubt invade the USA in my opinion, and China will take Australia. We shall see.

Once the Antichrist has risen to power from the ashes of war, he shall have his own military given to him by the nations that are so relieved to have such a seemingly ‘benevolent’ leader. Remember he rises through sweet talk and flattery. He shall consolidate his power and have 10 Kings under him according to Daniel and Revelation. These are the 10 horns or 10 toes prophecies that many are familiar with. We may see this play out very shortly! In all this mayhem, God will also be saving souls as people start awakening to God and to the times that they are living in.

At the moment Russia is being primed to fight. China will do her part. The killing machine wont stop until people don’t want to hate and kill anymore. The killing wont stop until people would rather die than kill their brother. The killing wont stop until God has executed his vengeance on a proud nation and people that wont listen to Him. We shall leave the ‘north country’ called north America if we survive the judgement. We may leave the wreckage of our proud and godless nations and be safe if we humble ourselves. Come to the fountain now. Come to Yeshua.

Hope for a Fatherless Generation

Our nations have departed from Yeshua. They do not fear God. They are void of wisdom, they have no understanding. They do not know the Father! Even within the church it was said of old by the apostle Paul...

I Corinthians 4:15
For though ye have ten thousand instructors in Christ,

yet have ye not many fathers:

for in Christ Jesus I have begotten you through the gospel.

Father's beget children. Why is there such impotence in the gospel?

The Church needs real men and real ‘spiritual fathers’. They are a scarce breed in this generation. Sadly many ‘earthly fathers’ shall be lost soon in a cold and calculated collapse of civilisation. Wars, just like guns and ammunition are manufactured. The sad reality is that people are being manipulated into their own genocide the world over. Because the nations refused the Father and His Son from Heaven He is giving them Leaders that will lead their people to death. Yeshua came to bring us life but if we refuse then all we have left is death.

Proverbs 8:36 But he that sinneth against me wrongeth his own soul:

all they that hate me love death.

The leaders of the nations of the world are shepherding their people into wars where everybody loses. Death is coming. In the coming wars nobody really wins and much is destroyed. It is tragic. Husbands are leaving their loving wives and children to put on uniforms to kill other husbands who have also left their wives and children. Young men kiss their girlfriends goodbye and they will never see them again.

Isaiah 13:12-13
12 I will make a man more precious than fine gold; even a man than the golden wedge of Ophir. 13 Therefore I will shake the heavens, and the earth shall remove out of her place, in the wrath of the LORD of hosts, and in the day of his fierce anger.

There will only be a few men left standing in our nations, they will be precious like fine gold. Some of the best will be killed first. Soon there shall only be a few young men, husbands and fathers amongst a sea of many struggling mothers in Russia and the rest of the world. Many boys and girls shall lose their loving fathers. Daddy isn’t coming home. It is a tragedy. Businesses shall shut down because all the capable men that made them function are gone to war, gone forever. Economies will be shattered the world over. In this war nobody wins. Everybody loses. Death is coming. War, Pestilence, Famine, Economic failure, natural disasters and ‘fatherlessness’ comes to a godless or paganised lukewarm christian generation. It’s not about Ukraine or anything, its about death. Death the world over. It’s the time of the grim reaper. It’s a culling. Its a reaping of the fields. God have mercy. We need ‘true spiritual fathers’ in this ‘fatherless generation’. We greatly need the ministry of the Holy Spirit.

Malachi 4:6 And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse.

Or as the New Testament says so clearly…

Luke 1:17 And he shall go before him in the spirit and power of Elias, to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just; to make ready a people prepared for the Lord.

God is about to ‘make ready a people prepared for the Lord’. These are the days of Elijah! God will soon bring Zion home. So even in this demonic madness within a ‘Fatherless Generation’ Yeshua still has His arms open for a little bit longer.

John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

The killing will end when people have had enough. That may take some time. The Red Horse has only just begun it’s rampage. War will quickly escalate. Friendly neighbourly feelings will give way to ‘Angst’. Hate shall be mingled with Patriotism. Peoples opinions will harden even as their hearts turn to stone. Cold logic based on hurt and half truths and government misinformation shall overrule kindness and natural affection. Love will grow cold in Russia and the west. The spirit of Haman is working hard. The Gallows are erected. In this time of ‘wars and rumours of wars’ God will be saving some souls that could come no other way.

The Holy Spirit of Almighty God the Father is moving. Let us, be wise like Queen Esther, who put her life on the line to gain the ear of the King, even the King of Heaven. Save us! Lord ‘Revive us’ and let us gather in the wheat. Let us salvage what can be saved in our nations. Lord have mercy, Lord save us. And please Holy Father, let Zion go home soon. May your Kingdom Come.

Even So Come Lord Yeshua.
The grace of our Lord Yeshua be with the ‘Israel of God’.

Shalom & Love in Yeshua

Does Red Horse Kick off WW3 on 15 Feb 2023 (24 Shevet)?

10/2/2023

0 Comments

Martial Law after attack? Don't be afraid, Yeshua is coming soon, he will bring you through the birth pangs if you are humble. In Zechariah 1:7 the Red horse is still at rest. But there appears to be a countdown leading to the 24th of the 11th of Shevet which is 15th February 2023 this year. Are the birth pangs of earthquakes and world war 3 about to begin now? Will the USA be attacked then and the world go into Lockdown, Martial Law and tyranny? Will the Antichrist rise during this time? Is the 2nd exodus about to get underway?

Timing for Little Red Riding Horse
Gathered by Eagles to the Wilderness

Introduction

In this talk I discuss the timing of world war 3 which I believe is at the door. And I discuss why God allows His people to suffer and what our hope is.

Years ago I got robbed. It really shook me because I had always felt safe at home. When the illusion of safety was removed I felt vulnerable and violated. I couldn’t relax the same way I had before. The police were worse than useless, they were the enemy. They didn’t care and were evil. I am not saying this because all police are bad. This was my experience with one policeman. I was violated by thieves and I was violated by the guys that were supposed to protect me. It was a lesson and a wake up call for me. And I needed it. It was painful. But eventually I learned some things and it humbled me and caused me to seek the Lord more earnestly. God uses bad things to shake people up. Satan wants to destroy us, but God uses Satan’s attacks to draw our hearts to Him.

There are violations coming. It is in the air. You can see it coming, you can even feel it. There is a world war brewing. When it breaks forth, entire cities will blow up. Nations will be invaded. Lives will be lost. Those that survive the initial attack will feel violated. They will look to the authorities to offer help and will gladly give up their rights to have some sense of security. However the cure may be worse than the disease. Indeed it will be much worse. This is because our leaders at the top do not fear God and they do not have our best interests at heart. They have an evil agenda. They are Antichrist, they hate Yeshua, they hate his Word, they hate His Law and they hate His People. They want to control every aspect of our lives and they want to violate our body and capture our soul. They want to turn our nations into prisons through Plandemics and War.

But there is also a release coming. Can we endure until then? Yeshua is coming soon. Hold on. Hold on Tightly. Be zealous and repent. I say this to myself also.

Judgement & Fear verses Freedom

My website is not popular do you know that? I say hard things. I tell the truth as best as I know how. I don’t claim infallibility but I want to spread the word that Yeshua is about to bring His people out of the nations. He’s going to bring them home to the promised land via the wilderness. The bible is actually pretty straight forward when it comes to describing the 2nd exodus. Why is there so much ignorance with his word? Even a child can understand it. But people are not straight like God’s word is straight. They wont receive straight talk because they are crooked inside, their will is still unbroken or not fully surrendered. They wont receive the truth straight in front of them because they are not taking up their cross. They want it their way. Easy street. Sweet talk and baby talk and no hard talk. They fashion Jesus or Yeshua the way they like, they fashion the end times the way they want it. And then they sit back in their rocking chair safe in their own delusions. They have another Jesus and another end times story. And they are not prepared in any way for reality when it comes crashing through their mist covered windows like a fiery cannon ball.

There is a red horse that takes peace from the earth. World war 3 erupts out of nowhere. This was supposed to happen a bit later they will say in their hearts. This is just about to begin now I believe. When the birthpangs come they come harder and faster. No time to catch your breath.

As far as exits from the hell that will be unleashed there are a few but only for a few. There is not just one rapture, there are a number of them as I shared in earlier posts. The 'Firstfruits' go first, the 144,000 which is the 'Manchild' of Revelation 12. And there is another exodus pictured in the same chapter of Revelation 12, the woman, which is Zion, the Church, escapes from the Dragon. There are heaps and heaps of chapters about the 2nd exodus. And there is a lot of judgement during this process. Sorry about that. I know I would get far more followers if I toned things down, tickled peoples ears and cooed ever so sweetly. But now I realise why we have a tribulation in the first place. Judgement is necessary because hearts are hard and people are blind. There is a lot of judgement during the 2nd exodus and the coming kingdom of God. There is a lot of self delusion amongst believers when it comes to prophecy and that leads to God giving them over to delusion that He chooses. It is very dangerous.

Isaiah 66:4 I also will choose their delusions, and will bring their fears upon them; because when I called, none did answer; when I spake, they did not hear: but they did evil before mine eyes, and chose that in which I delighted not.

Most Americans and most western believers hate talk of judgement. It’s like little kids in Kindergarten that wont be told. The Lord is about to smack his disobedient church. And He is going to use our enemies to do it. So this talk about judgement is not popular. But if you hate judgement then you need to hear it the most. And very soon you wont be able to turn the channel of gloom off or find another blog or whatever. It will be in your face, in your country, in your city and in your living room. I know that what I am about to talk about is not popular amongst Torah following believers any more than regular Christians. And I think I know the reason. Yes one reason is that people don’t like judgement.

But there is a more central reason, that reason is called ‘death’, or more particularly the ‘fear of death’. Unless we can deal with this ‘fear of death’ there will be no resurrection life. This fear is within many believers but they are not really aware of it. They avoid thinking ‘negative’ but there is a skeleton of the ‘fear of death’ in many believers and in the end time eschatology (study of end times) that they choose to believe. And so despite all the evidence most Christians think that bad things wont happen to America or Christians in America or elsewhere. What history books do they read? Have they read their bible? Talk about blind. Most churches don’t even preach the gospel any more let alone end times prophecy. They are actually afraid of end times or have redefined it so that it is only the good stuff. They are willingly ignorant and actually full of fear, fear of the truth, fear of death! So I have found tremendous resistance to discussing prophecy in depth because most believers are cocooned in a christian or messianic fantasy land. Instead of living free and facing the word truthfully they hide from truth behind an apron of lying prophetic fig leaves. Are you hiding?

Are you controlled by the ‘fear of death’? Of course you know that Yeshua came to deliver us from this fear. But is this a living experience? Or are there still hidden places in your heart where you are afraid to look? Do some topics make you feel uneasy? Could some situations torment you if put in them? Are you afraid of the destruction of your nation? If prophecy didn’t go the way you thought it would, would you become controlled by fear? If one of your cities were destroyed tomorrow and the Antichrist came on the scene would that cause panic? Death is really the ultimate fear for the natural man isn’t it? What did Yeshua come to do?

Hebrews 2:15 And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.

Are you a natural man christian with a natural man escatology? Are you really free? How come the church avoids prophecy unless it’s made of chocolate? Can’t believers handle the truth anymore? No, sadly for the most part they can’t. There is a price for having itchy ears. Is such a believer really free?

Another related fear is the ‘fear of man’, especially the fear of man that can cause others to be sentenced to death. If the Antichrist rose to power today, would you be afraid? What is the antidote to fear?

Proverbs 29:25 The fear of man bringeth a snare:

but whoso putteth his trust in the LORD shall be safe.

God wants us to be free of fear. Fear is the opposite of faith. Fear of things to come. The only fear that we should have is the fear of God. Any other fear is really an idol, a god, and we are to have no other God before the Lord. So don’t give in to fear. But seek the Lord יהוה.

II Timothy 1:7 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.

There are a lot of things to be afraid of if we let it. If you find what is already happening fearful then you need to repent of fear. You need to have faith, and faith comes from the word of God. Get God’s word into you, the bible. Start memorising scripture.

Love is also opposite of fear. Love and faith in God work together against fear. God wants us to fear Him alone and love him above all other loves.

I John 4:18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear:
because fear hath torment.
He that feareth is not made perfect in love.

At some time very soon we may find our nation attacked or a city being nuked and martial law imposed. What shall we do? God will lead us if we are His. I know this sounds ‘out there’ but I believe it is not just close, it is at the door. I have my idea on a possible beginning for the red horse as described in the section titled ‘Timing for Little Red Riding Horse’ below. If I am not quite correct for whatever reason, I still feel it is very close based purely on where things are going in Ukraine and elsewhere. War is being escalated recklessly by the west especially. Fuel is being added to the fire. So it is obvious to me that war is going to be used to clamp down on our freedoms. It doesn’t even matter if we win, because there will be a police state no matter how it pans out. That is certain. They may say that you are loosing some freedoms for your protection. Then you will find yourself in jail and they will throw away the keys. That’s where it is going. But God has a remnant, the remnant of Israel which is Zion. Zion is the church of the firstborn, Hebrews 12 tells us that is what we are a part of. And we are not to fear man or the things that are coming upon our world.

Isaiah 41:10 Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.

I am not the most emotional person on earth, but neither am I without emotion. I can cry, it’s pretty rear, mostly it happens if I preach. Strange. It’s not me. And it is only on occasion. But fear is an emotion we can all feel when push comes to shove. Our buttons are going to be pushed. Strong men shall be crying. Hard men will hurt inside. Fearful things are coming. But I tell you that God want’s only one fear in our heart, the fear of God. Otherwise, He wants His children to trust Him. You see the events leading to the 2nd exodus will be fearful. But we are not to fear. He loves His own.

Isaiah 43:1-2
1 But now thus saith the LORD that created thee, O Jacob, and he that formed thee, O Israel, Fear not: for I have redeemed thee, I have called thee by thy name; thou art mine.
2 When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee.

This paragraph, often used in songs, is actually describing the 2nd exodus from our wicked and judged nations after they’ve have been destroyed by flood and fire and the judgements in the book of Revelation. We are told repeatedly not to fear. God is with us. He will strengthen us, He will sustain us, He will bring us out. Fear not.

Faith in God overcomes fear. This is not faith in the rapture, but faith in God. The rapture may come to rescue at some point in time but meanwhile we may have to endure some tremendous trials. The church has had to endure some pretty nasty stuff these past 2000 years, it shall be no different at the end of the age. The freedom we have had in America and the rest of the ‘free world’ is really an anomaly. Faith overcomes fear no matter what situation we are faced with. Looking to Yeshua saves, looking at the waves causes us to sink. So do you fear God or Man? Because our faith is about to be tested.

Let’s ask some more questions. Do you want more of Yeshua? How much do you want Him? Do you want more of the Holy Spirit (Ruach Ha Kodesh)? What price are you willing to pay to have more of His Spirit? What mountain will you climb to get it? What personal sacrifices are you willing to take to get a greater intimacy? Do you hunger and thirst for righteousness? How much truth do you want? Are you fearless and filled with the Holy Spirit? Or are you really tied by fears iron leash and addicted to candy? Do you believe Yeshua is coming? Do you really want Him? Or do you just to want Him to save you? Or do you want Him because you love Him? What do you really want? What do you love more, Yeshua or yourself? Do you really love the truth? Or do you just love your own life when it comes down to it?

Before Abraham and Sarah were promised a Son, the Father sent his pre-incarnate Son, Yeshua (who is יהוה YHVH), to destroy some cities with fire and brimstone. There could be no seed to inherit the land until these cities were destroyed. This is a pattern for the 2nd exodus and our gathering to the Lord. Now Lot loved the city but Abraham dwelt in tents. Lot was a believer that loved this present world, and his wife probably loved the mall. Abraham however looked for a city whose builder and maker was God. Both were righteous but Lot made carnal choices based on the sight of his eyes. We know the world is evil but where are we at as believers? Are we filled with faith and dwelling in tents or are we loving life in Babylon and the flesh pots of Egypt and Sodom?

America used to be the number one producer of Missionaries. Now it is the number one producer of Porn. America has infected the world with her vaccines. She is killing her friends with a needle. All the leaders of the nations are following Trumps example at Warp Speed. America let the Snake in and she cant complain if it bit her, she knew he was a snake! America heads the world in Pornography, abortion, blood guiltiness, ‘Transgenderism’, Paedophilia. The faithful city has become a harlot. America is not just Babylon, she is Sodom. And she has infected all the other little Sodomite harlots of the west, she has fornicated with the Kings of the earth.

We cannot just point the blame at the USA, all the nations have done it to themselves because the western world is in complete moral and spiritual collapse. All our formerly nominally Christian nations have the morality of Sodom. It’s not just the north country of ‘North America’. But that’s not the worst news. You see it’s not just the nation but much of what is called the church is a whore too. It’s too late for national repentance. And for much of the church they will not repent. God gave her time to repent but she would not. So now the Serpent bites and there is more to come. Body bags will be piling up from now on. There’s been a war on our blood. But now it’s time for guns and ammunition because one of the ways God judges a nation’s sin is through War and invasion. War is coming. That is obvious. The question is when? I believe it is immanent. And so is the unveiling of the Antichrist in a time of war, and the 144,000 and the 2nd Exodus soon follow.

Now are you going to drop this article to read something more ‘positive’? Is this ‘spiritual positive’ or ‘carnal positive’? Do you hunger for truth and a deeper walk with the Lord? Or do you scare at the first little hurdle. Are you a seasoned battle horse or a frightened little pony? We are going to war. We are spiritual warriors aren’t we? This is not an article for emasculated males and fearful females. Do you want to meet Yeshua? If so, how much do you want Him? Do you know that all prophecy is all about Yeshua? It’s time to get on your horse called faith and truth.

Revelation 19:10 … “for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.”

We have some dragons to slay, and the first one is called fear. So do you just want positive prophecy or do you want victory whatever the cost? Because to be a warrior we all have to count ourselves as already dead. Then the resurrection faith brings us into the promised land. Our nations have cooked their goose, they are dead already, judgement is at the door. And now Yeshua is at your door, will you let him in?

God wants to raise up a battle hardened remnant from a nation full of sissies. God can make men out of boys, but only if they let Him in. America and the western world has an addiction to sweet things but the remedy is the unvarnished truth. The truth comes with rusty nails and a cross. Can you handle that? The tomb is empty, the Lord is risen. Are you willing to die for the Lord? Don’t avoid the truth. What makes you afraid? Let God be your fear.

The Lord wants sons and daughters that will look to Him amidst the storm. Are you willing to walk on the water during the storm? When the storm hits will you have faith or fear? You will see what I mean later as I present to you the end of America and the world as we know it. At the very least are you mature enough to handle adult subjects? Or are you still a spiritual baby? I am not smug or conceited when I ask this, I am speaking in love as someone that knows a little about fear. You see we need to face our fears otherwise they will come upon us. By avoiding the unpleasant parts of prophecy you show the enemy and God that you are a slave, a captive of fear. And the only way to deal with fear is to be made perfect by love. Jacob had to face his fears, but he could only do that by struggling with the Lord. And then he met Esau, the one he feared. Fears can be manifested because we have faith in them.

Job 3:25 For the thing which I greatly feared is come upon me, and that which I was afraid of is come unto me.

Jacob struggled with the Lord and so did Job. We all have to face our fears. Otherwise we will always be slaves in Egypt to Pharaoh Satan.

Perhaps there is only so much that you can take. I need to stay positive too. But your positivity like my positivity should be based on truth and not just on what is we want or what is happening. How much truth do you want? Yeshua is the truth. Do you want all of Him, or just the sugar? So how much of God’s word can you take? How much do you really want Yeshua because He is the Word made flesh?

It has been my observation that the church hates prophecy and will only dip into it if it is sweet. They are not weaned, they are still babes. Unless it is sweet the people wont buy it. The church is not addicted to Yeshua for the most part, they are addicted to sugar. They say they love Him, but if they do, it is only in part, it is an anaemic love, a sickly love. God’s Truth is not sweet to the natural man. Even unpleasant truths of evil events can be sweet to the spiritual man. The unbroken heart cannot see this or feel this. The carnal man cannot taste the sweetness of the honey in the belly of the rotting carcass of a dead lion, Judges 14:8, they wont go near it. A spiritual man can draw strength from scriptures and events that would kill a carnal believer. The disciples were able to endure much persecution, imprisonment and death because they had seen Him who is risen. They knew the One they preached of. But the church, including most Torah believers do not see him risen. Not enough to get them to face death. Unless we are willing to die we cannot really live. Unless we have a resurrection faith we cannot fully contend for the faith. Unless we have died to self we cannot face the rise of the Antichrist. It is only resurrection faith of a broken Jacob at the Jabok that can face Esau. It is a broken man, clinging with the tail end of his meager strength that prevails. How much do you want Yeshua? How much do you want the truth? If you fear prophecy then you are a captive. You are not free. You are a slave to fear. You live in a gilded cage of fools gold. It’s best to stick to looking down at your bird seed and your little bowl of water. Don’t look out, don’t look far. Keep safe. Look down. Fear rules you. You are not just a positive thinker, you are also limited because you afraid of death.

John 12:25 He that loveth his life shall lose it;
and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal.

Jacob came a long way in his walk with God but he could not enter the land until he faced his fears, until he faced Esau. But in order to face Esau he actually had to face God. You may have come a long way also. But if the scary things of the end times shut you down, then you have not died to self as Jacob did when he faced Esau and struggled with the Lord. And unless we are willing to die to self as Jacob did then we cannot have the total victory of faith. If we love our life we will lose it. Simple as that. Most American believers will fail shortly because they actually love their own life. And Australian believers are no different. We have become soft and shallow and addicted to sugar. But if we are mature, we can face death. If we can let our life go then we can serve Yeshua. But it is only once we have crossed the Jabock river and struggled with Him. And after we have died to self to some degree we can serve him to some degree. The verse after dying to self in John 12:25 is the promise of service, because we can only follow our risen Lord once we have died to self and are risen also. Faith hopes in what is unseen.

John 12:26 If any man serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall also my servant be: if any man serve me, him will my Father honour.

I think it is important for us to be aware of where things are quickly headed. I feel a duty to do what I can to raise the alarm. Others are too. But there is a problem with raising alarms. Most believers can’t handle it. They are weak and prefer lies to truth, soft things rather than hard things. They protect their fearful heart by ignoring reality as long as they can and hiding under preaching that soothes their soulish ignorance. They fear because they are not dead. For most believers end time prophecy is a scary thing best avoided. Most people will not look very deeply because something is deeply wrong inside them. They may think they are free but they are actually controlled by fear & self will. Hardly any messianic leaders talk about prophecy, and if they do, for the most part, turn it into some slick con job where the umpleasant stuff is shunted to the side. The church is living in lala land.

Before I get into details of the red horse and the coming world war. I want to first say that my purpose in this article is not merely to inform minds with some scriptures and my idea of possible timings of things but more importantly to stir hearts to action. I want you to seek God. And I want you to seek Him earnestly. But I need your help. I need you to be willing to die to self as you read this article. I need you to put fear aside and let your heart be broken. A woman wont fall in love unless she wants love deep down inside. To really know love, we must be vulnerable. Yeshua is a gentleman, he knocks on doors and I don’t want to load my readers with more bad news but rather turn broken hearts heavenward for comfort. God is in control. The reason God gives his people prophecies, whether they be about good things or evil things is for us to be instructed and equipped ahead of time for what is coming. No matter if the things be evil or good, God is still in control. Yeshua may not be exalted down here on earth, except by His people, but he is still the reigning King of Heaven right now. There is no other. All demons are afraid of Him. His power is real and His Authority is absolute. If we are in Him then we are also complete in Him.

Colossians 2:10 And ye are complete in him,
which is the head of all principality and power:

It takes a lifetime of dealings with God for us to learn of being complete in Him. All things down here may not appear to be under His control but He is bringing His Kingdom to rule. The reign of darkness is coming to an end. But first the Antichrist will take centre stage down here to give people the shaking they need to make their eternal choice. This is at the doorstep. But why fear?

I John 4:18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.

If you dug deep into most believers you would find that they are afraid of end times things. They are full of fear because they are carnal. They are not made perfect in love, because they have not let love in. They do not love truth very much. They just want smooth things and pleasant things spoken of in church. They have not died to self sufficiently to let the light in. Proof of this is that they fear end times topics. The bible is full of prophecy and most believers only want sugar. Why? Because they have not really struggled with the Angel like Jacob did. They have not dealt with their fears. The time of Jacobs struggle is a time when fear gives way to faith if we desire Yeshua above all else. The church for the most part has little faith, little regard for prophecy and little inclination to seek any depth in their walk with God. They forever dwell on the surface of things. And this is because they don’t want to die. They want this world. They love Babylon. They love their own life. If you really pushed the buttons of most messianics you will find the majority worldly and self willed. Many will not cling to God when things get tough. They wont cling like Jacob clung to the Lord. They will let Him go. Some will persevere but most will fall away through fear.

The church in America and the western world in general is for the most part very carnal, soulish, self willed, filled with unbelievers and ripe for judgement. The reason it hates prophecy and end times is because it does not live a crucified life.

Reason for Little Red Riding Horse

Ok so I assume if you have gotten this far it is either because you skipped to the here or you want more. I assume you want truth and the end of the world is not going to stop you because it just makes you more hungry for Yeshua and victory. We don’t choose world events but we can choose what and who we listen to and what we do.

The big picture with the Mushroom cloud at the beginning of this article tells it all. The red horse is mentioned in the book of Revelation and the book of Zechariah. It takes peace from the earth. War is coming. And the destruction of one world brings about the birth of another. Both the Kingdom of Light and the Kingdom of Darkness are about to be birthed from the same womb of world war. It like the birth of the twins Esau and Jacob in that order. One will initially be stronger, but only temporarily so, this is the Kingdom of Darkness. But Jacob who is Israel follows and supplants this kingdom of Darkness. The 144,000 are the firstborn of the Kingdom of Light and there are more to follow. There will be a great struggle but the end is assured. Victory for the Kingdom of Light and total defeat for the Antichrist and the Beast system that follows.

So there is a third world war at the door, it’s just a matter of timing. There is no ‘American Exceptionalism’. Yes America is special. But God judges nations, even special ones. That’s what He does, He is the Judge, He is the Law and America is no exception to His law and neither is any other nation. In fact all nations will fall before Him. All will topple about the same time. Even the nation called Israel is very much controlled by the forces of Antichrist today. But all nations will fall before the Son of God. And the Antichrist is just His Axe for a time and season and a means by which hearts are sifted as to their true loyalty. All nations will fall. So in that sense the end of America is the end of the world. And so the red horse of war has a job to do. The red horse takes peace from the earth and brings much death. God uses it to humble the proud looks of men and cause some to seek the Lord. And out of the wreckage Yeshua will bring his people out. He will bring them out of the ‘north country’ called north America and He will bring them out of all nations where they are scattered.

Jeremiah 23:7-8
7 Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that they shall no more say,
The LORD liveth, which brought up the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt;
8 But, The LORD liveth, which brought up and which led the seed of the house of Israel out of the north country, and from all countries whither I had driven them; and they shall dwell in their own land.

So we are leaving North America and all the nations where the House of Israel is scattered. And the nations we leave will be destroyed. In the 1st exodus from Egypt, Egypt was plagued but she survived. In this 2nd exodus from the ‘north country’ and the other nations, there will be a 'full end' of all nations 'whither I have scattered thee'.

Jeremiah 30:11 For I am with thee, saith the LORD, to save thee: though I make a full end of all nations whither I have scattered thee, yet will I not make a full end of thee: but I will correct thee in measure, and will not leave thee altogether unpunished.

America, Canada, Britain, Australia and New Zealand will be gone! Obliterated. Not just by war, but through earthquakes and flood. Other nations will likewise perish.

Once more I will Shake the Heavens & the Earth

The earth is going to stagger like a drunkard. Whole continents will sink and so forth. It is not a flood, it is a baptism for various landmasses though. It’s big! Like the movie 2012. Tsunamis to boot.

Isaiah 24:20 The earth shall reel to and fro like a drunkard, and shall be removed like a cottage; and the transgression thereof shall be heavy upon it; and it shall fall, and not rise again.

The earthquakes that Yeshua mentioned will gather in strength and severity until the earth has a haemorrhage and gives birth to the dead! Read Isaiah 24 and Daniel 12. It’s coming.

I spoke copiously about this time of shaking in the article titled ‘Kislev 24th - Foundation, Earthquakes & the 4 Horsemen’

We know that the end time events like earthquakes and world war that precede the coming of the Lord happen about the same time according to Matthew 24, Mark 13 and Luke 21.

Matthew 24:6-7
6 And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.
7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.

Hopefully you can see that these things are coming, in fact they have already begun.

Timing for Little Red Riding Horse

Who really is in control? Not these guys, but the real Aleph-Tav, את , the real Alpha & Omega, Yeshua.

Yeshua is in control. Good and Evil are in the Lord's Hands. Things are in place. The Coin is about to be tossed. Heads or Tails? Either way the die is cast, the goals are lined up, the ball is about to be kicked. Timing, direction and force must be applied with precision. A perfect storm of Chaos. And a New World Order. But Yeshua's KIngdom is coming on it's heals. Jacob wins. But at cost of pain and blood. But the Kingdom comes. Esau fails even as he succeeds. His perfect execution of the plan leads to his perfect execution, Haman first, hung on his own gallows. Hang Haman. Hallelujah!

So let’s now talk about timing...

As I said, I spoke about this time of shaking in the article titled ‘Kislev 24th - Foundation, Earthquakes & the 4 Horsemen’. I talked about the prophecy of Haggai which mentions the shaking of heaven and the earth and how the number 24 kept appearing in the dates that the Lord spoke to Haggai, the 24th day. This can’t be accidental as it appears repeatedly. I spoke about the significance of the number 24 in the article titled ‘The Significance of the 24th Day’, there is a marriage coming.

What is interesting is that the next prophetic book, Zechariah also has this 24th day appearing. So we have the 5 lots of 24th days, and then a 6th, Daniel mentions this day once too. Coincidence? I don’t think so.

Daniel 10:4 24th day 1st month Angel comes to give Daniel end time understanding
Haggai 1:15 24th day 6th month Build Temple, Shake Heaven & Earth & Sea
Haggai 2:10 24th day 9th month Overthrow Horse & their Riders
Haggai 2:18 24th day 9th month Priests, Shake Heaven & Earth
Haggai 2:20 24th day “ month Foundation Laid, Blessing from this Day forth
Zechariah 1:7 24th day 11th month Red - Horse Earth at Peace

World War 3 could be about the temple amongst other things. The dome of the rock may go up in smoke and be replaced by some 'Chrislam' hybrid monstrosity. That’s what the Pope is pushing towards, an amalgamation of Judaism, Christianity and Islam and then all the other religions as well. The temple they want to build is not holy and it wont last.

The Abomination of Desolation that will be set up in it by the Antichrist is no doubt connected to the vaccine. But it may be a physical thing too, in a physical building, in a hastily built physical temple. If that is the case then the placement of an abomination that makes desolate, in the physical temple, will parallel what is to be activated in the vaccinated public. Or the Abomination of Desolation could be only what is in the blood. Ultimately though, Satan is out to hybridise the human race. He wants to sink his fangs into humanity. With the vaccine he has almost achieved his goal. It just requires the capstone of activation. So the Abomination of Desolation is ultimately related to the Mark of the Beast which seals a persons fate so that they cannot be saved. The ultimate goal of Satan is to place the Abomination of Desolation within the temple of the Holy Spirit, the body of a human being, to turn them into ‘Homo-Borg-Genisys’, a hybridised Beastial Transhumanist nightmare race.

Anyway getting back to the 24th days listed above, the world is still at rest up until at least the 24th day of the 11th month (Shevet).

Zechariah 1:7-11
7 Upon the four and twentieth day of the eleventh month, which is the month Sebat, in the second year of Darius, came the word of the LORD unto Zechariah, the son of Berechiah, the son of Iddo the prophet, saying,
8 I saw by night, and behold a man riding upon a red horse, and he stood among the myrtle trees that were in the bottom; and behind him were there red horses, speckled, and white.
9 Then said I, O my lord, what are these? And the angel that talked with me said unto me, I will shew thee what these be.
10 And the man that stood among the myrtle trees answered and said, These are they whom the LORD hath sent to walk to and fro through the earth.the
11 And they answered the angel of the LORD that stood among the myrtle trees, and said, We have walked to and fro through the earth, and, behold, all the earth sitteth still, and is at rest.

Queen Esther is a picture of Zion which the Church actually is. The church is the congregation of Israel! Esther’s Hebrew name is Hadassah which is myrtle! The rider of the red horse was amongst the church, symbolised by the myrtle trees!

At some stage after the 24th day of the 11th month, perhaps on that very day, peace will be taken from the earth. I believe we are coming into that season. World War and Shaking the Heaven & the Earth and the Sea! Earthquakes and War.

Revelation 6:4 And there went out another horse that was red: and power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great sword.

This killing is not restricted to World War. It also includes civil war, ethnic war and strife within a family. The Lord will bring a sword of war and a sword of division because He is sifting and is about to bring the wheat home.

Luke 12:51-53
51 Suppose ye that I am come to give peace on earth? I tell you, Nay; but rather division:
52 For from henceforth there shall be five in one house divided, three against two, and two against three.
53 The father shall be divided against the son, and the son against the father; the mother against the daughter, and the daughter against the mother; the mother in law against her daughter in law, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.

This period could begin next week on Wednesday February 15th 2023. We shall see.

By Zechariah 6 the horsemen have done their job and brought peace to God’s Spirit by bringing death. God is beginning the judgement on sinful mankind. God is bringing judgement because he is about to lay the groundwork for His Heavenly temple. I wrote about how American Christians and Messianics are sidetracked with trying to build the Antichrists temple thinking it is for the Lord. The temple that we as believers are a part of, the congregation of Yeshua, is the one that the Lord is setting up. And to do so he will destroy much of the world and bring his people out of the nations.

So as we read through Haggai we see that the Lord brings judgement, He destroys nations and builds Zion. I believe that the use of the number 24 and the 24th day is deliberate. The prophet was given the visions or words of the Lord on those days because it is a kind of countdown. I therefore strongly suspect that the last 24th day date which appears in Zechariah is the end of the countdown. This is when the shaking of the heaven and the earth begins in earnest and with it the peace will be taken from the earth.

The 24th day of the 11th Hebrew month, Shevet is the 15th of February 2023. I believe this will begin the main shaking and wars and time of sorrows, the birthpangs mentioned in Matthew 24, Mark 13 and Luke 21. This is the first 5 seals of the book of Revelation which includes the 4 horsemen of the Apocalypse.

So could we find that the world will escalate into war even this year from the 15th of February? I don’t know for sure. But I sure am watching because it looks like things are set to blow anyway!

Also will the earthqaukes happen at the same time? We have just had a major series of earthquakes in Turkey up to 7.5 to 7.8 on the Richter Scale. Massive damage already. Plus the magnetic north pole is no longer tracking towards Siberia as it has done so for the past 100 years or so. Are the poles about to flip? Is the magnetosphere about to collapse? Are we soon to be scorched by the sun and moon as stated in Revelation and Psalm 121? Is the resurrection of the dead close by? Are the 144,000 about to be put to work? Is the harvest of humanity about to begin in earnest? Are the concentration camps about to start filling up in a time of panic? Are people about to give up their rights as they fall into the hands of our godless governments carrying a stick, a carrot and a bag of sweets?

Will the Dome of the Rock be attacked in the Temple mount? Will the USA, the 'North Country' be attacked? Could we see nuclear war? Will it be sudden attack or just a steady escalation? Will one or more cities get nuked? These are questions I am asking but if this is the year that the earthquakes and war begin then things will start to get seriously unhinged from now on. In this confusion and darkness the Antichrist will arise. According to Daniel 11 he rises to power during war. One day soon people will know that they are in the end times and the tribulation. It will be decision time for many. We are not appointed wrath, I Thessalonians 5:9, but in the world ye shall have tribulation, John 16:33. For those in Yeshua, we can have peace even while in tribulation. Yet for many they will have a decision to make when they realise the time that they are in.

Joel 3:14 Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision:
for the day of the LORD is near in the valley of decision.

This is one of the positive purposes of the Tribulation, to force people to make a choice. To make it real plain so that some may actually repent. They would not have come to the Lord otherwise. They had to be shaken. And another positive point is that God shakes from the faith, those that love this present world. He is sifting hearts. It may not feel pleasant, but the end of it is good. God brings more Lambs in and shoves more goats out!

Will you be caught off guard? Are you looking for your Lord’s return? Will you get swept away in the madness because your heart is not right? Seek the Lord’s face now!

I just finished a blog last week entitled ‘Almond Tree Blossoming in a Time of Hastening Judgement & Leadership Change’ which is all about the Almond and being watchful and the Almond’s relationship to the church (congregation) of Israel. Irrespective of if I am right about the exact dates for the red horse, I think we are entering into this season of judgement very shortly and I believe we should be vigilant and be looking diligently for signs of the Lord’s coming.

Gathered by Eagles to the Wilderness

The 10 lost tribes of the House of Israel will return from the North country called North America and from many places towards the Wilderness of the Saudi Arabian desert. He gathers them to the wilderness first. The 144,000 and the angels are related to the eagles and the bringing forth of Israel on eagles wings. I talked extensively about this in my very large article titled ‘The 144,000 & the 2nd Exodus to the Real Mt Sinai – Part 1, 2nd Exodus or Rapture?’.

Ezekiel 20:35 And I will bring you into the wilderness of the people, and there will I plead with you face to face.

The wilderness of the people is the region of Mt Horeb which is Jeb Al Lawz on the north western corner of Saudi Arabia, the real mt Sinai. Basically in the area they want to build the city called ‘Neom’. The clock is ticking.

Yeshua raised Lazarus in John chapter 11, which was just before Passover. Lazarus represents the priesthood and by extension the 144,000. Then Yeshua goes to a city called 'Ephraim' near the wilderness. This is prophetic for the regathering of the lost tribes headed by Ephraim from North America and landing in Saudi Arabia of all places. This is where the woman of Revelation 12 will be safe for the 3.5 years. So a lot of upheaval will have to take place to enable that to happen!

John 11:54 Jesus therefore walked no more openly among the Jews; but went thence unto a country near to the wilderness, into a city called Ephraim, and there continued with his disciples.

The following cryptic verse is really quite simple. The 144,000 eagles and Angels will help rescue the woman of Revelation 12 which is the Church/Zion. She will be walking some of the way. I spoken about this on previous articles. The body will be gathered to the real Mt Sinai, Jeb Al Lawz.

Luke 17:37 And they answered and said unto him, Where, Lord? And he said unto them, Wheresoever the body is, thither will the eagles be gathered together.

After 3.5 years in this wilderness area the now united two houses of Israel & Judah will return to the land of Israel. This will be after their resurrection and rapture as explained in the article titled ‘The 144,000 & the 2nd Exodus to the Real Mt Sinai – Part 1, 2nd Exodus or Rapture?’.

Shalom & Love
to the Israel of God
in Yeshua HaMashiach's name

Almond Tree Blossoming in a Time of Hastening Judgement & Leadership Change

5/2/2023

Watch out, the Almonds are Coming!

Introduction

What does the flowering of the Almond tree have to do with waiting for the coming of the Lord and the beginning of the Apocalypse? Can something beautiful spring forth in the darkness of winter? Can there be new life amongst death in a time of harsh judgement?

Today is a Jewish holiday called ‘tu’bsvat’, ט״ו בִּשְׁבָט, which literally means the ‘15th of the month of Shvat’, which is the eleventh Hebrew month. During this time the tithe, of the fruit of the trees is to be taken. This is after the heavy winter rains are almost over and the trees have what the need to grow buds for spring. It is a time for planting trees in the modern state of Israel today. Years ago I was there at this time in a Kibbutz and we got to plant trees. I remember the heavy rains at that time.

The first tree in Israel to bud and bloom is the very beautiful Almond tree with it’s gorgeous blossom. It blossom’s before the winter is even over. It is a portent that spring will soon arrive. It is an early developer if you like, and a sign of things to come. The bible has much to say about the Almond tree and it is used as a metaphor for diligence, study, hastening and in particular for watching. There are 22 Almonds on the Menorah which is a symbol for the ‘Church’ (Congregation). We need to be watching for the Lord’s coming. The Almond which symbolises being watchful and fruitful is built into the Menorah. And Yeshua commands us for being watchful. There is reward for watchfulness and punishment for sleeping! We should therefore be diligent and watching unto prayer concerning the end of our church age and the beginning of the judgements that lead into the events of Revelation chapter 4 onwards which begins with the birthpangs during the first five seals.

Israel to fill the Earth with fruit

The bible tells us that one day Israel shall blossom and bear fruit. This is more than just physical fruit, but the kind of fruitfulness that the God of Jacob is looking for. God wants Israel to multiply with seed, with people, but not just any people, he wants us to be fruitful having the blessing of the good fruits of the Holy Spirit. If we follow the Torah of Moses and have the New Covenant then we will be meek and humble like Moses and like our Lord Yeshua.

Isaiah 27:6 He shall cause them that come of Jacob to take root:
Israel shall blossom and bud,
and fill the face of the world with fruit.

Helelujah!
The Almond tree is the first tree to bud and blossom, even before winter is over. The Almond tree represents Israel, the nation that is ultimately to rule all nations. But this is not merely the secular state of Israel, but the ‘Israel of God’, those that are truly circumcised of heart, made up of Jew and Gentile. This includes Gentiles from the 10 lost tribes and Gentiles that are not but will keep His commandments. There was a despute amongst the tribes as to who would be the priest. Aarons rod, budded. And what did it produce?

Numbers 17:8 And it came to pass, that on the morrow Moses went into the tabernacle of witness; and, behold, the rod of Aaron for the house of Levi was budded, and brought forth buds, and bloomed blossoms, and yielded almonds.

The Almond thus represents the first of those that will lead. The almond will flourish even in a time of judgement, we will read about that later. Whatever tribe we are from we should get the central idea, God is looking for fruitfulness and those that bare good fruit will lead and be saved from the wrath of man when the enemy comes into our lands.

Almonds, diligent study, watching & hastening

Almond is defined in three places in Strongs concordance for some reason…

Strongs: H0824 שׁקד shaw-kad' & H08246
A denominative from 8247;
to be (intensively make) almond shaped:
- make like ({unto} after the fashion of) almonds.

Strongs: H08247 שׁקד shaw-kade'
From 8245;
the almond (tree or nut; as being the earliest in bloom):
- almond (tree).

The word Almond in Hebrew comes from the root meaning to be ‘on the lookout’. Perhaps this is because people would be waiting for the Almond tree to blossom, being the first tree to do so after the cold and rain of winter.

Strongs: H08245 שׁקד shaw-kad'
A primitive root; to be alert that is, sleepless;
hence to be on the lookout (whether for good or ill):
- hasten, remain, wake, watch (for).

It can mean to ‘watch’.

Psalms 102:7 I watch (שָׁקַדְתִּי),
and am as a sparrow alone upon the house top.

It can mean to be ‘awake’ or ‘aware’ when ‘watching’.

Psalms 127:1 Except the LORD build the house,
they labour in vain that build it:
except the LORD keep the city,
the watchman waketh (שָׁקַד) but in vain.

It is related to ‘watching’ in the sense of being spiritually wise and awake.

Proverbs 8:34 Blessed is the man that heareth me,
watching (שְׁקֹד) daily at my gates,
waiting at the posts (mezuzot, מְזוּזֹת) of my doors.

And it can mean to ‘hasten’. The word Almond and the word related to it, ‘hasten’, are also mentioned side by side in two verses.

Jeremiah 1:11-12
11 Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, Jeremiah, what seest thou? And I said, I see a rod of an almond tree (shawkad, שָׁקֵד).
12 Then said the LORD unto me,
Thou hast well seen: for I will hasten (shoked, שֹׁקֵד) my word to perform it.

Thus the Almond is all about being spiritually awake, aware and watching. It is even about hastening judgement. It is thus a perfect metaphor for awaiting our Lord’s return and being watchful for the coming judgement of the Tribulation. And the Church should be aware of this time now.

22 Almonds on the Menorah

The ‘Church’ or ‘Congregation’ of Israel is related to the number 7. There are 7 churches in the book of Revelation and they are pictured as a ‘Menorah’ or ‘Seven Candlesticks’ in the KJV. However this is not some gentile Catholic candlestick made of wax, it is not in ‘Madame Tussauds Wax Museum’ either, we should get the wax out of our ears and not be dummies. The bible interprets itself so the 7 candlesticks are not made of wax, the symbol appears in the book of Exodus chapter 25 and 37, it is the ‘Menorah’.

The Menorah represents the light of Messiah in His people. The Menorah is a symbol of what God is making during this ‘Age of Grace’, a company of people that are indeed the ‘Congregation of Israel’ which actually includes gentile believers. How good and kind is God? What grace He has shown to the nations. And He shall hold both Jew and Gentile to account for abusing such grace. Grace is coming to an end. It is not over yet, but the doors of the Ark are already beginning to close as the death toll increases in the winter of this age.

The Menorah, a picture of the congregation, the church, had 22 Almonds, 3 on each of the 6 branches and 4 on the central stem.

3 + 3 + 3 + 4 + 3 + 3 + 3 = 22 Almonds

There are 22 letters in the Hebrew Alphabet. And the Menorah gives light just as God’s word does. And Yeshua is at the centre of the Menorah because He is the light of the world. Before the world was formed the Son of God, the word of God incarnate, the Aleph Tav, את, came forth from the Father. Before the Sun & the Moon gave light, Yeshua is that hidden primeval light, the glory of the Father. The Menorah represents His body, His congregation, His bride who is likened to the Almond.

Exodus 25:33-34
33 Three bowls made like unto almonds, with a knop and a flower in one branch;
and three bowls made like almonds in the other branch,
with a knop and a flower:
so in the six branches that come out of the candlestick.
34 And in the candlestick shall be four bowls made like unto almonds, with their knops and their flowers.

So the Almond is central to what Israel is all about. And the congregation of Israel, the church of the firstborn is an Almond tree! Aaron’s rod that budded is a but a firstfruit of what God shall do. The Church is a Melchizedeck Priesthood. The Church which is the ‘Congregation of Israel’ is what God was after when He said that Israel would be a ‘Kingdom of Priests’, Exodus 19:6 and a ‘Royal Priesthood and an Holy Nation’, I Peter 2:9. The congregation is a priestly entity. And they have a gentile connection because that is who they minister to as well as to Israel. So the Levitical priests minister to Israel and the Melchizeck Priesthood ministers to the nations.

Now the first of the Almonds are about to blossom. And they are about to blossom as we enter into a time of severe judgement upon the Church, Israel and the nations, a time called the ‘Tribulation’ or the time of Jacob’s trouble.

God is about to raise up new leaders just like he did with Aaron whose rod budded, flowered and produced Almonds. God is about to raise them up and set His house in order in a time of cruel judgement. What is coming is the holocaust of all holocausts. The time of the rising of the Antichrist. But the King of Heaven has his Almonds. And Jacob shall begin to blossom, even at the beginning of the time of Jacob’s trouble, Jeremiah 30:7, even in winter which symbolises when Jacob is being made thin, Isaiah 17:4, through this holocaust of war, famine, persecution and so forth (the horsemen of the Apocalypse).

God is about to raise up his 144,000 to work the harvest even before people would think it is time to harvest.

John 4:35 Say not ye,

There are yet four months,
and then cometh harvest?

behold, I say unto you,

Lift up your eyes,
and look on the fields; f
or they are white already to harvest.

The Almonds are those that will be watching because that is implied in the very name ‘Almond’. Then the Lord will lift up their eyes and they shall see the fields and they shall go forth and work the final end time harvest.

This is just for those that the Lord raises up. People may protest, like Israel did when Aaron was chosen. So shall it be shortly. The Lord will raise up the leaders which are his servants to bring in the harvest of souls, to bring a remnant to repentance and fill the House of the Lord with wedding guests.

Watch

We have seen that the Hebrew word for Almond (שָּׁקֵד) is related to the Hebrew verb related to being awake (שָׁקַד) and watching (שְׁקֹד). Our Lord has much to say about watching. To be watching is to be like the Almond tree. There are rewards for obedience in this matter. The ‘Israel of God’ should be diligently waiting and watching and longing for the return of her master, our glorious God and King, the Son of God, the God-Man, Yeshua the Mashiach!

Mark 13:32-37
32 But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father. 33 Take ye heed, and pray: for ye know not when the time is. 34 For the Son of man is as a man taking a far journey, who left his house, and gave authority to his servants, and to every man his work, and commanded the porter to watch. 35 Watch ye therefore: for ye know not when the master of the house cometh, at even, or at midnight, or at the cockcrowing, or in the morning: 36 Lest coming suddenly he find you sleeping. 37 And what I say unto you I say unto all, Watch.

We should be watching like good little Almonds that are aware of the times they are living in. We are to be sober and watch.

I Peter 4:7 But the end of all things is at hand: be ye therefore sober, and watch unto prayer.

We dare not be spiritually asleep.

I Thessalonians 5:6 Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober.

There are rewards for watching, Yeshua wants to see who really is looking for His return. Who would not want to be accounted worthy to escape this time of trial or make it through to stand for the Lord? Well watch!

Luke 21:36 Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.

Many of the 7 Churches were not watching!

Almonds were on each of the 7 branches of the Menorah, 3 on 6 branches and 4 on the central stem! But who was watching in each of these churches? Only Smyrna and Philadelphia were without fault. Thyatira would birth the main part of the 144,000 manchild company, it had 4 Almonds, but it also had the most paganism to deal with, just like Ephraim.

Laodicea, the last church which symbolises our rich, lukewarm self centred and self satisfied western churches right at the end. Laodicea has no commendation at all but the stern promise of being spewed out of Yeshua’s mouth. This has already begun.

However no matter what state the churches are in there are overcomers in each congregation and wonderful promises to these overcomers. But 5 out of the 7 churches had big judgements against them unless they repented. They are not whisked out of tribulation just because they believe in Jesus. Yeshua is looking for obedience and a heartfelt brokenness and a holy life. The Lord is a jealous groom and love is jealous and love hates that which is evil.

1. Ephesus: Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent. Revelation 2:5

2. Smyrna: Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer: behold, the devil shall cast some of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall have tribulation ten days: be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life. Revelation 2:10

3. Pergamos: Repent; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will fight against them with the sword of my mouth. Revelation 2:16

4. Thyatira: Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and them that commit adultery with her into great tribulation, except they repent of their deeds. 23 And I will kill her children with death; and all the churches shall know that I am he which searcheth the reins and hearts: and I will give unto every one of you according to your works. Revelation 2:22-23

5. Sardis: Remember therefore how thou hast received and heard, and hold fast, and repent. If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come on thee as a thief, and thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon thee. Revelation 3:3

6. Philadelphia: Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth. Revelation 3:10

7. Laodicea: 16 So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth. 17 Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked: Revelation 3:16-17

Almond Tree

The end times are so important to the Lord. The Lord wants to bring the wheat into His barn. He will remove the wicked in time but first He has to shake things up in order to save some souls. Nobody wants to be shaken. Nobody wants to go through a holocaust. Who would not want to be raptured or hidden? But do we qualify? According to Zephaniah chapter 2 verses 1 and 2 the godless state of Israel is a nation ‘not desired’ or ‘not redeemed’, and it has gathered itself together (הִֽתְקוֹשְׁשׁוּ וָקוֹשּׁוּ הַגּוֹי לֹא נִכְסָֽף) like the ‘chaf’ (קַשׁ, Exodus 5:12), before the ‘fierce anger of the Lord’ (עֲלֵיכֶם חֲרוֹן אַף־ יְהוָה) comes upon her, which is the day of the Lord. The next verse is for all of us, Jew and Gentile if we wish to escape judgement.

Zephaniah 2:3 Seek ye the LORD, all ye meek of the earth,
which have wrought his judgment;
seek righteousness,
seek meekness:
it may be ye shall be hid in the day of the LORD’S anger.

Are we meek / humble? Have we ‘wrought his judgements’? Are our actions righteous? Do we qualify for being hidden? There is no guarantee we will be hidden, but we may possibly be hidden if we are ‘meek’.

There is much that is truly awful about the time of Jacob’s trouble, the Tribulation, but God has to get His people in order somehow, His Kingdom is Coming! God is about to build Zion up in a time of pulling down. The nations including Israel are going to receive their judgement. All the nations that Israel currently dwells in will be destroyed.

Jeremiah 30:11 For I am with thee, saith the LORD, to save thee: though I make a full end of all nations whither I have scattered thee, yet will I not make a full end of thee: but I will correct thee in measure, and will not leave thee altogether unpunished.

This means that the USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Great Britain & South Africa will be destroyed. Pure and simple. The end. You’ve got to get this into your soul. If God says it then that is what is about to happen! And other nations will likewise be destroyed. So that is a fact of scripture. This is the end of grace. This is what happens when people say ‘no’ to God’s Son, Yeshua the Mashiach!

Our hope is not in our nations or our politicians, our hope is in our God and Saviour, Yeshua HaMashiach. Our God will hasten judgement and raise up the remnant of his people. The Almond is all about hastening also! The Lord will be pulling apart and planting also, after the winter rains.

Jeremiah 1:10-12
10 See, I have this day set thee over the nations and over the kingdoms, to root out, and to pull down, and to destroy, and to throw down, to build, and to plant.

11 Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, Jeremiah, what seest thou? And I said, I see a rod of an almond tree (makel shaked, מַקֵּל שָׁקֵד).

12 Then said the LORD unto me, Thou hast well seen: for I will hasten (shawked, שֹׁקֵד) my word to perform it.

The following verses in Ecclesiastes 12 are about remembering the Lord our creator before we get too old. But there is a deeper meaning behind the words which I will not go into detail here, suffice to say, it pictures the end times judgement of the tribulation, the time of Jacobs trouble. Darkness is about to descend upon our world. Death is coming to our godless, pagan, Sodomitish, reprobate nations. We are on the very edge of the edge of the edge of it now.

Ecclesiastes 12:1-8
1 Remember now thy Creator in the days of thy youth, while the evil days come not, nor the years draw nigh, when thou shalt say, I have no pleasure in them; 2 While the sun, or the light, or the moon, or the stars, be not darkened, nor the clouds return after the rain: 3 In the day when the keepers of the house shall tremble, and the strong men shall bow themselves, and the grinders cease because they are few, and those that look out of the windows be darkened, 4 And the doors shall be shut in the streets, when the sound of the grinding is low, and he shall rise up at the voice of the bird, and all the daughters of music shall be brought low; 5 Also when they shall be afraid of that which is high, and fears shall be in the way, and the almond tree (הַשָּׁקֵד) shall flourish (bloom, יָנֵאץ), and the grasshopper shall be a burden, and desire shall fail: because man goeth to his long home, and the mourners go about the streets: 6 Or ever the silver cord be loosed, or the golden bowl be broken, or the pitcher be broken at the fountain, or the wheel broken at the cistern. 7 Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it. 8 Vanity of vanities, saith the preacher; all is vanity.

The darkness of the Sun, Moon & Stars refers allegorically to the events preceding the Lord's second coming, the events of the 6th seal of Revelation and the outpouring of the Holy Spirit in Joel etc.

The Almond tree is the only good news in the whole prophecy. It is flourishing!

The word translated ‘Vanity’ has the same root as the name Abel (הבל).

Just like Abel was murdered so there shall be martyrdom in the last days.

Tithe of Seed Trees, Circumcised Trees & Men Walking as Trees

Moses was a prophet and all the Torah law has both a practical day to day application and a spiritual end times fulfilment whereby trees, fruit and tithes of our harvest represent the harvest of souls and the Lord’s prophetic program of redemption for believing Israel and the remnant of the nations that call upon His name. The New Testament tells us plainly that the Law (Torah in Hebrew) is Spiritual, Romans 7:14!

The Lord looks upon His people and is looking for fruit. Good fruit. He gives the trees time to produce fruit. In the gospels Yeshua curses the fig tree for not bearing fruit, Mark 11:21. God want’s us to bare good fruit, Matthew 13:23, Luke 8:15. The prophet Jeremiah also speak of good and bad figs, Jeremiah 24. The scriptures through out the old testament and the new talk of good and bad fruit and judgement or blessing because of it. Good doctrine is a beginning but it is not the end. If we abide in the vine we shall produce good fruit, John 15:4. If we don’t abide in Yeshua then we whither and thus don’t produce good fruit. Sadly we are then cast into the fire! We must examine ourselves if we say we follow Yeshua, if we say we keep Torah because there must be good fruit and a broken and contrite heart. We should bow our head like mature wheat and not hold up our head in pride and self will. Tares will be burnt.

Leviticus 19:23-25
23 And when ye shall come into the land, and shall have planted all manner of trees for food, then ye shall count the fruit thereof as uncircumcised: three years shall it be as uncircumcised unto you: it shall not be eaten of.
24 But in the fourth year all the fruit thereof shall be holy to praise the LORD withal.
25 And in the fifth year shall ye eat of the fruit thereof, that it may yield unto you the increase thereof: I am the LORD your God.

Are we circumcised of heart or are we dull of heart and led by our flesh? God gives the trees 3 years to deal with their uncircumcision of heart. I cant help think of the first 3 years of the tribulation when I think of verse 23.

God is looking for fruitfulness in our lives. The New Testament emphasises that we should have fruit of repentance. Trees are also a metaphor that remind us of the garden of God. The hunters and the fishers of men are coming, both good and bad fishermen. Are we blind men or do we have eyes to see? We cannot watch if we cannot see. Almonds watch diligently.

Mark 8:22-24 And he cometh to Bethsaida (House of fishing/hunting); and they bring a blind man unto him, and besought him to touch him. 23 And he took the blind man by the hand, and led him out of the town; and when he had spit on his eyes, and put his hands upon him, he asked him if he saw ought. 24 And he looked up, and said, I see men as trees, walking.

If Yeshua spits in our face, even his spittal can remove our blindness. He may use someone else to do it even! Yeshua has done this to me on occasion, to get through to me. His judgements are a kindness if it removes the callouses from our hearts and causes us to look up and see things as they really are. We may find that we are in the Garden of God and this time let us not hide from our maker through our religious pride.

Genesis 3:8 And they heard the voice of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God amongst the trees of the garden.

We do not belong amongst the other trees of the garden, we belong with our Lord, the tree of life. Let us not hide from the voice of prophecy either, let us not hide in empty religious Torah observance or the dead works of a dead Christendom. But let our hearts be knitted to the Lord and to one another in true faith and love. The Torah leads us to Messiah and hope and to the Love of God shed abroad in our hearts, Romans 5:5. The Lord wants fruit, and the Almond is the first to blossom.

During war fruitful trees were not to be cut down, Deuteronomy 20:19. When God brings judgement through war we are to preserve those that produce good fruit in their lives. We know all sorts of bad things happen when Israel was invaded, and good people suffer too. But often the Lord in mercy would save the poor and humble folk that keep His commandments and walk in His ways. God brings war and invasion to humble the proud and wicked in a nation. But the humble and God fearing people that bare good fruit are His delight.

The Almond is the first tree to blossom. Of course it’s fruit is the actual nut, but it is a fruitful tree and therefore should be saved in a time of war. The end times described in the book of Revelation and elsewhere in the bible is a time of harvest for the Church, Israel and humanity. So what we read in the books of Moses applies spiritually to this time.

Tithe of thy Seed

Almond trees produce an Almond seed. It flowers first. And ‘tu’bsvat’, ט״ו בִּשְׁבָט, occurs as the Almond is in flower. It is called the ‘new year of trees’. And this is when the tithe of fruit trees and seeds is made. During this time a tithe for the poor is also made in accordance with Deuteronomy 14. Those that give to the poor lend to the Lord. The Church should help the poor. There’s more and more of them. We should also give them the greatest gift, the gospel. Perhaps now a few more will listen. ‘Please help us to bring them into your House through the gate of repentance Father’.

The tithe of the increase of the seed is related to the firstling of the flocks. By analogy this is related to the firstborn and to the 144,000 by extension again. Shall the 144,000 be awakened to who they are at this time? Does the Lord have a work for them now? We shall soon know.

In Deuteronomy 14:23 we are told to ‘eat before the Lord thy God’ in the ‘place he shall choose to place his name there’. We know that this refers to Jerusalem and the temple. But on a higher level it refers to His Throne in His Heavenly temple in the Heavenly Jerusalem. So is his a hint that the tithe of the field and trees and flock which is taken at Tu b’shvat when the Almond blossom’s indicates that the 144,000 come into God’s presence? It could be today! I don’t think this is a rapture but a presentation of those ‘Almonds’ that will be used later. Their 'eyes will be opened'. They will learn to fear the Lord while being in His presence. Without the fear of God there will be no revival and no harvest that’s for sure. It is what is missing in our wicked and adulterous generation.

Deuteronomy 14:22-29
22 Thou shalt truly tithe (עַשֵּׂר תְּעַשֵּׂר) all the increase of thy seed, that the field bringeth forth year by year.

23 And thou shalt eat before the LORD thy God, in the place which he shall choose to place his name there, the tithe of thy corn, of thy wine, and of thine oil, and the firstlings of thy herds and of thy flocks; that thou mayest learn to fear the LORD thy God always.

24 And if the way be too long for thee, so that thou art not able to carry it; or if the place be too far from thee, which the LORD thy God shall choose to set his name there, when the LORD thy God hath blessed thee:
25 Then shalt thou turn it into money, and bind up the money in thine hand, and shalt go unto the place which the LORD thy God shall choose:
26 And thou shalt bestow that money for whatsoever thy soul lusteth after, for oxen, or for sheep, or for wine, or for strong drink, or for whatsoever thy soul desireth: and thou shalt eat there before the LORD thy God, and thou shalt rejoice, thou, and thine household,
27 And the Levite that is within thy gates; thou shalt not forsake him; for he hath no part nor inheritance with thee.

28 At the end of three years thou shalt bring forth all the tithe of thine increase the same year, and shalt lay it up within thy gates:

29 And the Levite, (because he hath no part nor inheritance with thee,) and the stranger, and the fatherless, and the widow, which are within thy gates, shall come, and shall eat and be satisfied; that the LORD thy God may bless thee in all the work of thine hand which thou doest.

Conclusion

The Almond tree represents Israel and the Church which is the ‘Congregation of Israel’. The Almond tree is about to blossom in a time of winter and judgement.
Tu b’shvat is the 15th of Shvat when the Almonds blossom and the tithes of trees are brought in. Nine represents fruitfulness. There are nine fruits of the spirit.

Galatians 5:22-23
22 But the fruit of the Spirit is
love,
joy,
peace,
longsuffering,
gentleness,
goodness,
faith,
23 Meekness,
temperance:
against such there is no law.

Is our Torah obedience real or imagined? Have we got the nine fruits of the spirit in increasing measure?

Nine days after Tu b’shvat, the 15th of Shevat is the 24th of Shevat when the earth is still and at peace, just before the red horse of war rides. Is that this year? I strongly suspect we are about to enter into world war 3 on this date which is the 15th of February 2023 if this is the year. And with the red horse are the other horsemen of the Apocalypse mentioned in Revelation 6. Later in Zechariah 6 we read that they have satisfied the Lord with much death. The Lord is angry with the heathen and with the rebels amongst his people Israel. His Spirit will now be satisfied when this generation of mockers and god haters is destroyed. But judgement begins in God’s house doesn’t it? So let us seek His face.

Zechariah 1:7-12
7 Upon the four and twentieth day of the eleventh month, which is the month Sebat, in the second year of Darius, came the word of the LORD unto Zechariah, the son of Berechiah, the son of Iddo the prophet, saying,
8 I saw by night, and behold a man riding upon a red horse, and he stood among the myrtle trees that were in the bottom; and behind him were there red horses, speckled, and white.
9 Then said I, O my lord, what are these? And the angel that talked with me said unto me, I will shew thee what these be.
10 And the man that stood among the myrtle trees answered and said, These are they whom the LORD hath sent to walk to and fro through the earth.
11 And they answered the angel of the LORD that stood among the myrtle trees, and said, We have walked to and fro through the earth, and, behold, all the earth sitteth still, and is at rest.
12 Then the angel of the LORD answered and said, O LORD of hosts, how long wilt thou not have mercy on Jerusalem and on the cities of Judah, against which thou hast had indignation these threescore and ten years?

Are you bearing good fruit? Are you truly of the Almond tree? Are you part of the Menorah, the 7 branched candlestick covered in 22 Almonds representing His Word and being diligent and watchful? Are you truly born again, are you truly circumcised of heart, are you truly diligently looking to the Lord and for His return and hastening His Coming? Will your anchor hold in the coming storm?

Blessings & Love
in Yeshua’s Name

The 144,000 & the 2nd Exodus to the Real Mt Sinai – Part 1, 2nd Exodus or Rapture?

28/1/2023

0 Comments

This picture shows the real split rock where the water gushed out at the real Mt Sinai. The real Mt Sinai mentioned in the book of Exodus is actually in Arabia. The mountain is called Jeb Al Lawz today. We are told of a greater exodus in the last days than that from Egypt. This second exodus is from the 'North Country'. Where is this North Country and how does this all fit in with the Rapture or resurrection of the Church which is the believing ‘Israel of God’. And where do the 144,000 fit in? It’s all in the scriptures, clear as day. (There are actually two North Countries in scripture as well as two Babylons, which is something I was not aware of. God knows how to hide some things in plain sight.)

Part 2 – the Ascent of the Bride

Prelude

God has a plan and has not forgotten his people and His Bride. His evacuation plan is about to be activated in a time of absolute peril. But before the ‘Summary’ & ‘Introduction’ about this plan of escape I want to bring a ‘Warning’ to those still asleep or just waking up. You may skip down to the ‘Summary’ if you are short on time. We all are.

This is a big article but important. It is more of a book than an article, hence the pdf. You will need to break it up. Please read if you are able and feel led, it is important to know where we are going and when and how. It’s important to understand how the resurrection and rapture events fit into the exodus and regathering of the Israel of God. We will be living through it very shortly. Our nations are about to be busted up and our feet better be on the Rock as everything is shaken.

Timing

I believe we are on the cusp of the shaking of the heavens and the earth, the real birthpangs of the kingdom, mentioned in Matthew 24, Mark 13, Luke 21 and Revelation 6. We have already had the White horse with the rider with the white ‘Corona’ Crown riding alone these past few years. However all 4 horsemen of the Apocalypse will be riding together when the red horse is released that takes peace from the earth. In Zechariah 1:7-11 we read that on the 24th day of the 11th Hebrew month (Shevet) the earth is at peace. But the rider on the Red Horse will shortly be riding to take peace from the earth. If this is the year the prophecy is fulfilled then peace will be taken from the earth after this date, which in 2023 is the 15th February which is less than 3 weeks away. This will be war. No doubt a third world war. But it will also include civil war, ethnic war, family war with domestic violence. Along with this terrible situation expect to see earthquakes, famines and pestilences and economic collapse. During this time the Lord will be refining us through increasingly severe persecution and imprisonments. We shall soon see if it happens this year or not. I can’t see it not happening. Whether things pan out this way or not, we should be watching.

Luke 21:36
Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.

So I have assumed a timeline centred on the biblical feasts with the 2nd exodus beginning this year, 2023. This may or may not be correct. It maybe the following year. I do believe we are entering a time of tremendous shaking. It could be that the shaking begins shortly and that by Passover 2023 we are well into the events that will lead to the translation of the 144,000 by no later than Pentecost 2023. Then again it could drag until the following year. I do however expect the shaking to commence in the next month. This is based on Haggai and then Zechariah chapter one. I suspect the shaking occurs on the 24th day of the 11th Hebrew month.

So it may come more suddenly than many people think. Then again I could be mistaken. We are to watch, we are to know the time and season of His return, we are to watch, and we are all still learning! I may not be exactly correct with my sequence or timing but I hope that there is enough meat in this article for you to chew on. I hope to add grist to your mill of thoughts as you ponder the times we are in. Perhaps some of what I share will be helpful in your own understanding of things and fill some gaps. if you are ready for details then please read on. Some of what I present here may assist you and shed light into how the 2nd exodus and rapture events mesh together. This includes the sealing and rapture of the 144,000 that will be used mightily to bring in the end times harvest of souls and to prepare the bride for the 2nd exodus and then the wedding to follow at her rapture. May God richly bless you as you search His Word and Seek His Face and His Kingdom and His will in your life.

Achtung! - Warning!

For those just waking up the question maybe ‘is judgement here?’ Is God shaking things? Is this the end times? Is Jesus coming soon? What the Devil is going on? Crazy Weather, crazy Government, crazy People, crazy Times. Where do we go? Our nations are turning into politically correct Communist /NAZI hell holes. When is God going to move? An evacuation will be necessary because the Judgement wont stop until these Sodomite ships that we have called our nations sink to the bottom of the deep blue sea. Are you on the life raft called Yeshua? Are you walking with Him as you ought? Do you fear God? Are you humble? Are you broken? Are you teachable? The storm is breaking, both in the Spirit and in the natural.

The weather is going crazy. Floods are running through lands and towns and cities the world over. Fires are burning down the woodlands. And tornadoes are increasingly appearing in places they don’t usually go. This is not normal! The magnetic North pole is flipping and the jetstream is causing havoc. If the magnetic poles flip then the Magnetosphere collapse and we get burnt by the sun. Meanwhile famines have been orchestrated on purpose and food production is being decimated, farms confiscated, fertiliser purposely made unavailable, fuel depots and supply depleted, the Devils hands have been busy.

Plandemics are already here and beastial enforced vaccinations are in the wings and already happening in some nations. Children are indoctrinated. Most of our population are ‘dumbed down’ and docile and believe whatever they are told on TV. Lawlessness is being legislated. Freedom curtailed in the name of Tolerance. Our leaders are mad. In the sky above our heads, strange looking clouds are appearing here and there. Is God trying to tell us something? The wicked don’t care to understand nor can they because they do not fear God. No wisdom there. But the righteous will understand. But not every one that says Lord, Lord will enter into the Kingdom, Matthew 7:21.

Many of the alternate media are shills that are just patting our fur and making us feel good before the bad guys fully take over and skin the cat. If they don’t preach the gospel or mix in with it a whole lot of half baked new age dribble then switch them off. We need to get right with God and not waste our time will talking heads as the ship goes down. The Messiah is coming. And if we follow Him we will be in the hot seat. Judgement begins in the house of God. But there is no hope for these alternative media shills and the folks that follow them. Yeshua is coming soon.

The next events are the big earthquakes and wars of the red horse of the Apocalypse, Revelation 6, Zechariah 1 & 6. None of these things can occur without the Lord Yeshua allowing it. He is the head of all principality and power, Colossians 2:10.

The question is not ‘what is the Devil doing?’ He is doing what he always does, lying, thieving and murdering, but much more as he is running out of time, John 8:44. There is no end of conspiracies and theories. The Devil sure is in the details. There is much truth in what is going on under the surface of things but if that is all we see then we don’t see the big picture at all.

The real question to ask is what is God doing? Can you feel the birthpangs of His coming Kingdom? God is about to gather His people from the nations as they descend into tyranny, prison camps and bloodshed. He is about to bring us out of the ‘North Country’ called ‘North America’.

Jeremiah 23:7-8
7 Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that they shall no more say,
The LORD liveth, which brought up the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt;
8 But, The LORD liveth, which brought up and which led the seed of the house of Israel out of the north country, and from all countries whither I had driven them; and they shall dwell in their own land.

The 10 lost tribes of the House of Israel are not just in the ‘North Country’ called the USA and Canada. All our formerly christian democratic English speaking nations are all being collapsed together, along with the rest of the world. The house of Israel has for the most part become one big house of cards, fit to burn and ready to tumble. A shaking comes before the seed is put in the barn, Haggai 2:19-21. Our Church Age is coming to an abrupt conclusion far quicker than most believers can believe, quicker than Ephraim can burn himself in a half baked oven of sin at Pentecost, Hosea 7, Leviticus 23:17. The rot is deep, the cancer has spread far and wide, the House of God for the most part has become a harlot and a habitation of devils, Isaiah 1:21, Matthew 13:32. The few stones in this Leprous House are about to be removed by our Holy High Priest Yeshua, Leviticus 14. Usually the bad stones are removed from the House. But now the Leprosy is so great that the House must be destroyed and the few good stones brought out and saved, this is the remnant of Jacob. This extraction will be through the 2nd Exodus and Rapture events depending on who we are, God’s election and our obedience. Galatians 6:7 tells us that we reap what we sow, God is not mocked! God forgives but He also repays sin. When sin crosses a certain line God judges with terrible ferocity and finality. And we are running out of time to get right. Turn, turn, turn to Him, the Judge is at the door.

Don’t be discouraged, Confess your sins, call upon God with all your heart. Turn from sin, take your burdens to the Lord and get your peace back. Be Holy. Walk in His Way. God knows his small and faithful remnant. God keeps Covenant. He watches over the poor of His flock, those poor in spirit that are broken for all the sins of the ‘Israel of God’. If you prayerfully abide with the Father in the secret place, He will bring you through many waters to safety.

If we repent not, if we play games, even religious ones, then know for sure that the Sword is in the hand of our God and Saviour Yeshua HaMaschiach. And God will use wicked governments and people as His sword of judgement, Psalm 17:13. It is Yeshua that is judging, even through the plans of the wicked which are his wreaking ball. Where will you actually go as the Judgement begins? Don’t be a captive of sin. Prisons are waiting. Both the Lord and the enemy is at the door.

This could be our final Pentecost to end our Church age. The church began on Pentecost and it will end then too with birth pangs, blood moons, and a birth in a time of great Darkness. Darkness, blood moons and ‘palmtrees of smoke’ could come sooner than we think, Joel 2:30. The signs are multiplying. The earthquakes and war will unleash the breakup of our nations and judgement of the Church. If we say we believe in Yeshua, do we obey Him or do we use His grace as a license for sin and self will? The most testing time of Jacob’s Trouble is at hand, the Tribulation. The prison camps are built and the Devil the defiler who is Satan the accuser is about to pounce. I suspect that Red Horse will be unleashed after the 24th of the 11th month in accordance with Zechariah 1:7-10. I can’t see it being another year. Please use your time to humble yourself before the Lord for the Satanic inquisition is soon to begin in a time of war, famine and death.

However God has been waking Jacob to his Torah. If we are walking in obedience, God is with us. But if our knowledge is only puffed up head knowledge then we are in trouble. If we are humble and obedient then we have an appointment with God, and his Sabbath and Feasts give us His meeting times. There is a blessing in keeping them with a broken and contrite heart. So let us very humbly ‘fear God and Keep His commandments for this is the whole duty of man’, Ecclesiastes 12:13. The King is coming.

Summary

In a nutshell

Rapture & 2nd Exodus occurs before 2nd half of the 7 year Tribulation, before Revelation 13.
Most of the judgement of the 1st half of the Tribulation is restricted to the last year or 6 to 8 months.
Like birth pangs it increases in frequency and intensity.
Our being raised in glory and translated to heaven or ‘rapture’ is related to the Hebrew Feast & Harvest cycle.

The ‘rapture’ is made of two parts,

1. First fruits 144,000 sons,

Passover Barley 144,000 wave sheaf & Pentecost Wheat 144,000 Wave Loaves
Assist in 2nd exodus of Zion their mother.
raptured and presented before the Lord at Pentecost.

2. Bridal Church of Zion - Main body of believers

leave nations in 2nd Exodus and go to the ‘Wilderness’
honey moon during Tabernacles.
raptured to Heaven & married at Yom Kippur
gathered to Sinai at Trumpets,

Between these two raptures is the 2nd Exodus, which is a physical journey to the Wilderness with the assistance of the 144,000 and Michael and his Angels. The Dove which is Zion will be lifted up on the Wings of Eagles and taken to safety in the Wilderness in Saudi Arabia. Elijah’s 40 day and 40 night flight to Horeb from Jezebel is a picture of this, as is the flood of Noah when it rained for 40 days and 40 nights.

More detail
I don’t claim infallibility, we are all learning. I have assumed that the birthpangs are coming this year. If this is not the year then it will follow later but the sequence should be the same. I can’t see it coming later, it looks like we are approaching some very sudden changes in the world in many ways as I describe later. Yes birthpangs increase over time but I don’t think we are going to see things unfold gradually any longer. It wont be a steady predictable transition, but it will be a whole series of ‘suddenlies’ that come harder and faster.

I expect this begins from the 24th day of the 11th Hebrew month when the red horse of war is loosed as per Zechariah 1:7 onwards. I wrote about this in the previous article titled ‘Kislev 24th - Foundation, Earthquakes & the 4 Horsemen’ and talked about the significance of the number 24 in the article ‘The Significance of the 24th Day’.

God is zealous over his house and will bring the judgement of war upon the heathen. This is the 2nd seal of the apocalypse and the other seals will open rapidly. The birthpangs of the 4 horsemen and the 5th seal martyrs leads to the 6th seal birth of the kingdom along with the resurrection and the end of the church age with the rapture of the 144,000.

Before the rapture of the living comes the resurrection of the dead.
- This is both the resurrection of the wicked and the righteous dead!
  Daniel 12, Isaiah 26.
- It is not the great white throne judgement which occurs and the end of the Millennial Reign.
Before any resurrection comes the shaking, that is the birthpangs.
The shaking comes spiritually and physically. These are birthpangs.
- The birthpangs are just about to hit, from the 24th day of the 11th Hebrew month if this process begins this year. This is the 15th of February 2023 this year.
- The Red Horse will ride and all the other horses of the Apocalypse will follow. We will quickly see our nations destroyed by world war, civil war, murder, economic collapse, famine, pestilence. Death camps will be operational. These are the first 4 seals of the Apocalypse.
- Terrible persecution will ensue. The gospel will be preached. People will be saved. Many martyrs make up this period which is the 5th seal judgement. Much of the 10 lost tribes the House of Israel is about to be destroyed due to wickedness. Many will be martyred for their fiath thereby securing their salvation during this time. Many in the nations will die also. It is a harvest. The righteous dead will not be dead long. The wicked living will not be alive long. The tares will be burnt up soon. God’s House will be full. A wedding is coming. Vashti (Satan & His host) goes out, Esther (Israel of God) enters into the courts of heaven. A divorces & marriage in the same festal period.
- Fig tree of heavenly host is shaken during the sixth seal. What cannot be shaken remains (good angels), but the bad angels come to the earth.
- The fall of Satan’s host and Satan himself will commence on the 17th day of the 2nd month which is the 8th May 2023 this year, between Passover & Pentecost. His host will fall over a 40 day period because it relates to the flood and Elijah’s flight to Horeb.
- Pentecost occurs in the middle of this 40 day period of shaking when the moon turns to blood and God’s Spirit is poured out on Israel and all flesh. This happens at the 6th Seal.
- Heavenly City of Zion is revealed when heavens roll back at the 6th Seal. People may say that it is a space ship perhaps. But then the Lamb is visible. God deals with his enemies.
- The 6th seal also sees the wicked rulers and others go to their underground bases. This is before the 2nd half of the tribulation. They go underground in the hopes of rising to the surface in the 2nd half. Manwhile the 144,000 are raised and the woman, Zion, makes her exit.
- The birth pangs which include earthquakes lead to the Great Earthquake that brings about the resurrection of the dead in this intense time when Satan and His Host are falling. These are the waters of Noah. The Ark is a picture of Zion being lifted as judgement comes. Meteors will be falling from the sky also.
- The waters of Noah will begin the spiritual process that leads to the awakening of Zion and the birth of the manchild 144,000 at Pentecost. There will be floods and earthquakes and war, death camps etc as the earth is reeling to and fro. The magnetosphere will collapse bringing green/pink sky Auroras.
- This is a very supernatural and dark time, but also a time of glory, Isaiah 60.
- Demons will walk the earth along with the wicked dead raised to life to become demon possessed. Zombie apocalypse is coupled with this.
- The wicked dead that are raised will not be alive long. They will die once more. Many of them will die in the earthquakes when the earth opens it's mouth. The raising of the wicked dead is a scurge and a judgement.
- The godless will think demons and nephilim and fallen angels are aliens, especially when thing come from the sky (as well as from below).
- The 144,000 rapture at Pentecost is of two parts.
  - The sons of Zion are related to the Barley wave Sheaf (Passover) and Wheat Wave Loaves (Pentecost) Harvest firstfruits that are waved before the Lord. They are the 144,000.
  - The Barley 144,000 may be commissioned during the onset of the birthpangs to go to the ‘lost sheep of the house of Israel’, before they are resurrected in Pentecost. The hallel Psalms 113 to 118 describe their transition from a persecuted remnant to a supernatural conquering army. The persecution is intense. There truly are painful birthpangs.
  - There is a Wheat Firstfruits 144,000 also.
  - I had thought that there were two separate raptures but now I believe both go together.
- 5 months of absolute hell on Earth proceed after the Pentecostal 144,000 Firstfruits resurrection. The spirit filled but still mortal Remnant Bride of Zion is rescued by angels and glorified in her mortal flesh like Moses when he came down the mountain. The process of the 2nd exodus begins.
- Yeshua will prepare a remnant of Israel & Judah and some believing Gentiles for the 2nd exodus, this is Zion, the church of the firstborn. Zion is pictured as a woman and is the main body of believers that are raised at the ingathering at years end during the Trumpets to Tabernacle Feast period.
- It takes 5 months for her to spiritually be raised until the marriage in the 7th Hebrew month. The 15 songs of accent describe the accent of the Bride and are also pictured as the Ark being 15 cubits above the tops of the mountains.
- They will go to the ‘wilderness of the people’, the real mt Sinai in Arabia. We will talk about this in the next blog article in this series.
- Yom Kippur is when the New Covenant comes in its fullness to the believers of the House of Israel & Judah.
- Tabernacles is the honey moon.
- This coming Pentecost may see the end of the Church Age that began at Pentecost also.

Introduction

For those that are awake, you may ask, ‘is our hope in a rapture or exodus?’ Much old prophecy talks about a greater exodus than that of Egypt so that the first exodus is forgotten. But the New Testament talks about resurrection and translation in to the air in a transformed immortal body, this is referred to as the ‘Rapture’. How do we fit it all together? God has hidden some things in plain sight. If we do not keep the Sabbath and biblical Feasts then we close the gates of understanding in certain crucial areas. Even if we keep these things we still may be in the dark if our heart is proud or we don’t seek wisdom and understanding diligently. It takes time to mine the word of God and for the Holy Spirit to transform us enough to begin to dimly perceive things.

If we have an appointment in our diary it is important to know when & where the meeting occurs as well as with whom. We all know that we have an appointment with Yeshua the Groom, but where do we meet him and when do we go, and finally, how do we actually get there? Many believers think that the rapture will whisk us away before trouble starts. The bible tells us that the Lord will shake the heavens and the earth first. I wrote about this in the previous article titled ‘Kislev 24th - Foundation, Earthquakes & the 4 Horsemen’ and talked about the significance of the number 24 in the article ‘The Significance of the 24th Day’. Many do not want to understand this stuff and prefer half truths or fables at church. There is confusion as to who exactly Israel is. And there is further confusion as to who the Church actually is!

When you understand that Israel is not just the Jews but there are 10 tribes that went missing and that Messiah Yeshua has brought them to Himself through the gospel then this adds a whole new layer and dimension to our understanding about our gathering to Him. In this article I want to lay out where the 144,000 and the ‘Church’ rapture/resurrection events occur in relation to the regathering of all Israel. The regathering of all of Israel that is mostly prophesied in the old testament prophets has been called the ‘second exodus’ because once this exodus occurs the prophets tell us the exodus from Egypt will no longer be remembered, Jeremiah 23:7-8.

Jeremiah 23:7-8
7 Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that they shall no more say, The LORD liveth, which brought up the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt;
8 But, The LORD liveth, which brought up and which led the seed of the house of Israel out of the north country, and from all countries whither I had driven them; and they shall dwell in their own land.

How does the regathering of the 10 lost tribes and the ‘rapture’ events fit in relation to each other? Where does the latter day fulfilment of Joel 2:30 fit it? Acts 2 was a partial fulfilment that began the church age of grace. We haven’t had the 'palmtrees of smoke' yet (translated as 'pillars of smoke' in the KJV). The prodigal son, the house of Israel returns and then we have the latter days fulfilment, an outpouring of the Holy Spirit in a time of destruction. It is the last pentecost as the exodus gets underway and the 144,000 rise in a time of terrible physical and spiritual darkness.

Joel 2:28-32
28And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions:
29 And also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out my spirit.
30 And I will shew wonders in the heavens and in the earth,
blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke.
31 The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and the terrible day of the LORD come.
32 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the LORD shall be delivered: for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as the LORD hath said, and in the remnant whom the LORD shall call.

The above scripture in Joel is the where the gospel and the Holy Spirit is not restricted to Israel but spills over to the gentiles. It was partly fulfilled at Pentecost in Acts chapter to with the beginning of the Church and it will be fully fulfilled at the end of the church age when it is time for us to leave. The Passover leading up to this Pentecost will be the lead up to this second exodus, or final exodus. This final last days exodus or 2nd exodus is also described clearly in Revelation 12 with the woman given two wings of an eagle to escape the dragon. This is not a rapture but a rescue, she is not taken up to the sky first but taken to the wilderness for safety for the last 3.5 years of the tribulation. Where is this wilderness, where does the woman of Revelation 12 go? This wilderness is also called ‘the wilderness of the people’. The Lord evacuates His bride to this wilderness after a time of tremendous shaking and persecution (birth pangs).

Ezekiel 20:34-36
34 And I will bring you out from the people, and will gather you out of the countries wherein ye are scattered, with a mighty hand, and with a stretched out arm, and with fury poured out.
35 And I will bring you into the wilderness of the people, and there will I plead with you face to face.
36 Like as I pleaded with your fathers in the wilderness of the land of Egypt, so will I plead with you, saith the Lord GOD.

How does the rapture fit in with the 2nd exodus then? Are we going up or moving out? Is there a rapture or a 2nd exodus? How can they both be fulfilled? And is God going to save America or do we abandon ship? Where do we go? Do we have to stand and fight, or do we run or wait to be raptured? There are so many questions with too many opinions, can we know? Should we care to know? What does it matter if it’s coming anyway? What is the point of knowing what’s coming and how and when it’s coming when we cant do anything about it? Does God want us to know?

Well I will open things up. Sadly too many believers want to live in a dream world where bad things only happen overseas and we wont go through tribulation even though judgement comes to His House first! The answers are in scripture if we care to know. The Lord will bring the remnant of Jacob through it all with raptures and 2nd exodus as we will discover. It’s really amazing!

Conclusion

We have seen that there are both raptures and an exodus from the ‘North Country’ and all the nations that Israel is scattered in, we call this the 2nd Exodus. North America which includes Canada and the USA (and a remnant from Mexico) is this ‘North Country’.

A great move of the Holy Spirit will enable both the raptures and 2nd Exodus. The Holy Spirit is being poured out in a time of darkness and judgement and war.

A time of severe persecution looks set to begin between Passover and Pentecost that will bring about the spiritual birth and rapture of the 144,000. This is that birth pang time of sorrows period spoken of in Matthew 24, Luke 21 and Mark 13. It is the horsemen of the Apocalypse. But it also leads to joy when the 144,000 are born. They will be used to rescue the true believing church that remains alive, which is Zion. The period between Passover and Pentecost includes the time when the flood occurred which is when the Ark is lifted up and is a picture of the fall of Satan. We shall then see the Nephilim and the so called UFO’s etc. Heavy stuff. It’s very unpleasant to put it mildly as Satan looks to destroy the believers. He has it all prepared, the COVID / FEMA prison camps are already built and in operation. The Ark Angel Michael will assist the Israel of God in this terrible time of martyrdom that precedes the 2nd exodus. The fifth seal martyrs will soon be raised once their full number are come in and their garments are made white in the blood of the Lamb.

The exodus is precipitated by the birthpangs leading to the raising up of the children of Zion, the 144,000. This will most likely occur at Pentecost. But there may also be a resurrection before Zion travails during the Passover and Unleavened bread period. It could even occur earlier as Lazarus was raised before Passover. The 144,000 will be used to bring souls into the kingdom and help prepare the bride for the 2nd exodus in a time of utmost peril and bloodshed. Later the anointing of the 144,000 changes, and so it does for all of Zion by extension. The anointing changes from a lamb like merciful and compassionate spirit to a lion like judgement and warfare spirit. The annointing goes from gathering the sheep to physically protecting the sheep because Zion is leaving the Egypts of this world. Once the sheep hear the Shepherds voice it is time to get out of our polluted and dying nations. The church age is over at Pentecost and the ‘Israel of God’ is regathered.

So we have a Firstfruits rapture of the 144,000. Then we have some preaching and fighting for Zion in our nations as they are being judged. Then we have an exodus of those believers that remain before they are raptured at a later date during the 7th Hebrew month at the main wedding of the bride in the wilderness.

God will rescue His remnant that remains from the sixth seal of Revelation. He will bust open the prison camps much like what happened at the end of world war 2 but in a far more supernatural and dramatic way. Angels will be involved like they were with Peter in the book of Acts. The Angels & the 144,000 shall be seen. His 144,000 are the arrows in the quiver that will strike the heart of the King of Heaven’s enemies, Psalms 127:4. This may be only months away if it is this year (which I believe it is). The sixth seal judgements include the moon turning to blood which dovetails with Pentecost, so it most like occurs then. In Acts 2 we have the early Holy Spirit outpouring that starts the Church age. And the Church age will end with the latter day outpouring at the sixth seal. Then it’s time for the Bride to escape from the North Country Babylon USA and the nations and head to the Wilderness. We will talk more about where that is in the next talk. The believing Church is rescued and glorified in their current flesh like Moses when he came down the mountain. They are rescued, not raptured with the assistance of Angels, the 144,000 and earthquakes that swallow the water that is spewed out of the Dragon’s mouth which is the Zombie Apocalypse and the wicked dead that are raised at this time.

Yeshua turned water into wine and the Lord saves the best wine is for the endtime wedding of the Lamb. The outpouring will lead to resurrection for some as new wine goes into a new wine skin. These resurrected folks are the firstfruits. These 144,000 are like super soldiers and super evangelists that go forth to bring in the harvest with the gospel of the Kingdom while also fighting the bad guys. So there could be two lots of 144,000.

We are commanded to be looking up during this time in expectancy. The Lord will pour out his spirit and His throne and Heavenly Jerusalem will be visible after Satan and his host fall at the 6th seal.

Coming soon...

Part 2 – the Ascent of the Bride

‘The Ascent of the Bride is Part 2’ in the series ‘The 144,000 & the 2nd Exodus to the Real Mt Sinai’.

In this coming article on this topic I will describe the actual 2nd exodus timing and flight of the Bride, Zion, as prefigured with the 40 day and 40 night flight of Elijah from Jezebel. Noah’s flood for 40 days and 40 nights prefigures this same escape. Both 40 day periods of fleeing from Jezebel and raising of the Flood describe the fall of Satan and the raising of the Bride. Elijah makes it to mt Horeb and the Ark walks on the water (in the Hebrew). I have talked about this before but I will tie it together more fully and show that the Bride is going back to Sinai before being translated to Heaven for the marriage. Just like the first exodus, the current generation is not quite ready for world conquest. But instead of spending 40 years in the wilderness, she spends just 3.5 years there and is transformed into an army of light in the 7th month.

We will also look at a group of Psalms that are deeply prophetic (aren’t they all?).

Hallal Psalms 113 to 118 which are for the 144,000 in particular.
Psalm 119 – Torah sealed in forehead of the 144,000
Psalms of Accent, Psalms 120 to 134 – For the Bride and her gradual ascension through tribulation.

It might be encouraging for you to know that despite all the turmoil with the weather that the Lord promises to make the desert wilderness to bloom. As the nations where the lost tribes dwell are turned into chaos and destruction the Lord will bring us to a desert that shall blossom as a rose. The red sea edge of Saudi Arabia is the very area that Israel sojourned in and it is starting to get much more rain and is becoming green for Israel to come.

Isaiah 35:1-3
1 The wilderness and the solitary place shall be glad for them; and the desert shall rejoice, and blossom as the rose.
2 It shall blossom abundantly, and rejoice even with joy and singing: the glory of Lebanon shall be given unto it, the excellency of Carmel and Sharon, they shall see the glory of the LORD, and the excellency of our God.
3 Strengthen ye the weak hands, and confirm the feeble knees.

Keep smiling, we are going home and the Kingdom of God is coming.

Shalom and Godbless
in Yeshua’s Name
