Breaking Peace

Saturday, November 14, 2009, 6:30 a.m. –

My husband and I went to bed early last night because we were both really tired. I think I drifted off to sleep, then at 9:17 p.m. I woke to this phrase in my mind: “The United States is breaking peace.” To break something is to fracture, rupture, shatter, split, crack, and/or sever (Encarta). Peace means calm; quiet, stillness, tranquility, harmony; etc. (Encarta).

I definitely see that our government is doing that within our own country. When one thing dies down, it appears that they just create another to get the people all up in arms. I do believe that there is a concerted effort right now within our government to get the American people thinking Muslim or Middle Eastern = terrorist, and to get us thinking that there is a threat to our country via these religious zealots from the middle east. I see this both in this story about the killings at Fort Hood, Texas and in these news stories now about bringing these 9/11 suspects back into the United States, in particularly into NY to try them in civilian courts. Their pictures are plastered all over the news. Then there are the stories about these Mosques being seized by the federal government and homes being broken into by the federal government – homes of middle eastern people suspected of threats against the USA (this was maybe a month or so ago). Yet, I believe the Lord has been showing me over and over again that the real “terrorists” are the leaders of our nation and that they are plotting terror against their own people and are placing the entire blame on others - either on innocents or on co-conspirators or on our “hired help”.

Speak, Lord, for your servant is listening. I read Zechariah 9:

Judgment on Israel's Enemies
An Oracle
1 The word of the LORD is against the land of Hadrach
and will rest upon Damascus—
for the eyes of men and all the tribes of Israel
are on the LORD—
2 and upon Hamath too, which borders on it,
and upon Tyre and Sidon, though they are very skillful.

3 Tyre has built herself a stronghold;
she has heaped up silver like dust,
and gold like the dirt of the streets.

4 But the Lord will take away her possessions
and destroy her power on the sea,
and she will be consumed by fire.

5 Ashkelon will see it and fear;
Gaza will writhe in agony,
and Ekron too, for her hope will wither.
Gaza will lose her king
and Ashkelon will be deserted.

6 Foreigners will occupy Ashdod,
and I will cut off the pride of the Philistines.

7 I will take the blood from their mouths,
the forbidden food from between their teeth.
Those who are left will belong to our God
and become leaders in Judah,
and Ekron will be like the Jebusites.

8 But I will defend my house
against marauding forces.
Never again will an oppressor overrun my people,
for now I am keeping watch.

The Coming of Zion's King
9 Rejoice greatly, O Daughter of Zion!
Shout, Daughter of Jerusalem!
See, your king comes to you,
righteous and having salvation,
gentle and riding on a donkey,
on a colt, the foal of a donkey.
10 I will take away the chariots from Ephraim
and the war-horses from Jerusalem,
and the battle bow will be broken.
He will proclaim peace to the nations.
His rule will extend from sea to sea
and from the River to the ends of the earth.
11 As for you, because of the blood of my covenant with you,
I will free your prisoners from the waterless pit.

12 Return to your fortress, O prisoners of hope;
even now I announce that I will restore twice as much to you.

13 I will bend Judah as I bend my bow
and fill it with Ephraim.
I will rouse your sons, O Zion,
against your sons, O Greece,
and make you like a warrior's sword.

The LORD Will Appear
14 Then the LORD will appear over them;
his arrow will flash like lightning.
The Sovereign LORD will sound the trumpet;
he will march in the storms of the south,
15 and the LORD Almighty will shield them.
They will destroy
and overcome with slingstones.
They will drink and roar as with wine;
they will be full like a bowl
used for sprinkling the corners of the altar.

16 The LORD their God will save them on that day
as the flock of his people.
They will sparkle in his land
like jewels in a crown.

17 How attractive and beautiful they will be!
Grain will make the young men thrive,
and new wine the young women.

My Understanding: Israel is both the nation of Israel (Jewish people) and it is spiritual Israel (the true church; the Body of Christ; the temple of the Holy Spirit). And, our enemies are the enemies of God Almighty. Certainly many Arab nations have been the nation of Israel’s enemies for generations, so I do not discount that Israel’s or even the church’s enemies could come from Middle Eastern countries and religions. Yet, the Lord has been showing me that our own government is breaking peace with its own people, as well as it may be doing so with other nations as we go around the world seizing other people’s lands and we invade other nations and occupy them and we steal from them what is not ours and we kill whomever we want, including our own people, in order to propagate our own political and world domination agenda. I know that our nation’s leaders have been plotting an Orwellian Society, not only here in the USA, but in the world for some time. And, we are seeing more and more the reality of this every day as our own government takes more and more control of banks, the auto industry, the insurance industry, and the health care industry, etc. and as we see our nation moving closer and closer to this One World government and this rise of the beast of Revelation.

Yet, there is good news in all of this. This means that we are very close to the return of Jesus Christ and to our salvation being made complete.

I woke this morning with this song in my mind: The One, The Only Jesus / NewSong

He’s the One that I turn to
When things don’t turn out right
The only One I depend on
To help me make it through the night
He’s my warm winter blanket
When I’m cold and alone
He’s my rock, He’s my refuge
He is my song

He’s the One, the only Jesus
The only One worthy of our praise
He is the Holy One
He is God’s only Son
The One, the only Jesus

He’s the resurrected king
In the castle of my heart
The only friend that I have
That will never give up
He’s creation’s creator
He had crafted each part
The only Son of the only One
He knows me by heart
He’s everything I hope that He would be
He’s the One, the only Jesus…
