Wow!

Awesome response to this Laureate!

It is only just in the past months that I finally realized that the burning up of the grass of the earth.....can be a metaphor for all flesh turning to the God of Abraham, our Creator with our whole hearts!!!!!!

God of course wants to save us.....so He inspires prophecies to be written in such a way that the is a glimmer of light hidden in each verse....even though on the surface the obvious meaning seems so dark!!!!!!!

Amos 2:1-2 KJV
1. Thus saith the Lord; For three transgressions of Moab, and for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because he burned the bones of the king of Edom into lime:
2. But I will send a fire upon Moab, and it shall devour the palaces of Kerioth: and Moab shall die with tumult, with shouting, and with the sound of the trumpet:

Isaiah 15:1-6 KJV
1. The burden of Moab. Because in the night Ar of Moab is laid waste, and brought to silence; because in the night Kir of Moab is laid waste, and brought to silence;
2. He is gone up to Bajith, and to Dibon, the high places, to weep: Moab shall howl over Nebo, and over Medeba: on all their heads shall be baldness, and every beard cut off.
3. In their streets they shall gird themselves with sackcloth: on the tops of their houses, and in their streets, every one shall howl, weeping abundantly.
4. And Heshbon shall cry, and Elealeh: their voice shall be heard even unto Jahaz: therefore the armed soldiers of Moab shall cry out; his life shall be grievous unto him.
5. My heart shall cry out for Moab; his fugitives shall flee unto Zoar, an heifer of three years old: (the third part) for by the mounting up of Luhith with weeping shall they go it up; for in the way of Horonaim they shall raise up a cry of destruction.
6. For the waters of Nimrim shall be desolate: for the hay is withered away, the grass faileth, there is no green thing.

And it shall come to pass in that Great Day of final Atoning, (no man knows the day nor the hour but comes to each in his appointed times, and none shall be alone in his appointed times, [O thou whole Philistia]) and it shall come to pass that there shall be no more the Canaanite, nor the Moabite, in the house of YHWH Tsabaoth! Remember Lot's wife: No looking back from that point forward; for no man having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the Kingdom of the Theou. Yet the Kingdom of the Theou cometh not with observation; neither shall they say, ''See here!'' or ''See there!'' For the kingdom of the Father is within you, and he will not share his dwelling together with any Canaanites or Moabites that may be in your midst.

Yes.....a time of amazing trouble is coming and all flesh will be humbled.....but if we could see how much room for variation is possible depending on our individual decisions we would be astonished.



"And the loftiness of man shall be bowed down, and the haughtiness of men shall be made low: and the LORD alone shall be exalted in that day.
And the idols he shall utterly abolish. And they shall go into the holes of the rocks, and into the caves of the earth, for fear of the LORD, and for the glory of his majesty, when he ariseth to shake terribly the earth."(Isaiah 2)


The Creator is about to humble everybody who will survive what is coming....but an individual city does have the option to behave like Nineveh and become humbled earlier....if a certain percentage of the population will decide to seek humility and cry out to God. There is an amazing effect when the leadership either of the head....politics or the tail......the religious leadership will themselves break away from their idols and set an example of humility!!!


"And he said, Oh let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak yet but this once: Peradventure ten shall be found there. And he said, I will not destroy [it] for ten's sake. (Genesis 18)

King David got to the place where every little thing that he did.....every specific word he uttered in prayer.....and even his tone of voice when he said it.....had implications for an astonishing number of lives....at that time....and even down into our time period.

"How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! how great is the sum of them! [If] I should count them, they are more in number than the sand: when I awake, I am still with thee.(Psalm 139)


The time is coming when entire nations that have been fully restored.....even the weaker ones will have a somewhat similar type of relationship with our Creator!

Zec 12:8 In that day shall the LORD defend the inhabitants of Jerusalem; and he that is feeble among them at that day shall be as David; and the house of David [shall be] as God, as the angel of the LORD before them.

Once upon a Covenant there was a Patriarch who believed the Word of the Most High spoken unto him. And because he believed with action the Word of the Most High it was accounted unto him as uprightness. Yet the Patriarch had no seed of his own and so beseeched the Most High as to how it was that he should know of a surety that the Promise unto him should be secured. So the Most High commanded the Patriarch to offer the third part of an `eglah-heifer, the third part of an `ez-goat, the third part of a ram, and a towr-gowzal-pigeon of the nestlings. So the Patriarch took one of each and parted them asunder, (but the tsippowr is the undivided) and the great city of the man was divided into third parts, and the cities of the heathen fell ...

It also puts us in a Revelation time frame....
Rev 6:14 The heavens receded like a scroll being rolled up, and every mountain and island was removed from its place.
Actually the whole chapter 6 of Revelation gives a time frame of events leading up to the great Yom Kippur.

Rev 6:15 Then the kings of the earth, the princes, the generals, the rich, the mighty, and everyone else, both slave and free, hid in caves and among the rocks of the mountains. 16 They called to the mountains and the rocks, “Fall on us and hide us[f] from the face of him who sits on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb! 17 For the great day of their[g] wrath has come, and who can withstand it?”

Wow!

Daq, what is your personal opinion regarding The Book of Jasher?

Myself, I am not really much of a scholar, but the story about Hagar being the daughter of Pharaoh Rikyon, who was the Solomon of his time period, would sure explain many things about the dynamic between Ishmael and Isaac!

if indeed Hagar, was a princess of Egypt.....then of course there would be tremendous pressure on Ishmael to get rid of the other heir, Isaac, in order to take number one spot. This certainly does not justify his decision to point his bow and arrow at Isaac, when Isaac was five years old.....but it does help us to explain the entire situation?!

If the Book of Jasher is accurate....at least in the story regarding the parentage of Hagar.....as well as in the event of Sarah seeing Ishmael point a bow and arrow at Isaac....then the events of Genesis make much more sense?!

But I am no scholar and I am curious what you think about that book that I am sure you have probably read many times?!

Visionary, do you think I am incorrect to feel that in a sense individual denominations that are obsessed over specific doctrines may be somewhat like caves that we tend to hide in?

Been there....done that .....got the T-shirt!

If I remember correctly 1990 was probably the first year in which I had the chutzpah to hold my right hand up in the air and pray to the God of Abraham that I wanted Him to take me by the hand....and I told him that if He was going to take Gentiles who do not know Him by the hand.....then He had an obligation to take those of us who at least know something about Him...by the hand!!!

Ever since doing that my life has been a series of surprise and outright shocks over the difference between what I was pretty sure was true....and what was probably actually going on!!!!

Isaiah 45:1Thus saith the LORD to his anointed, to Cyrus, whose right hand I have holden, to subdue nations before him; and I will loose the loins of kings, to open before him the two leaved gates; and the gates shall not be shut;

Daq, as I was reading this again I felt that you should begin to specifically pray to be given followers, students and to be used to raise up a school of prophets much as Elijah did?!


Testimony My Patmos

As I read more about your own personal story I feel that a prophecy that was given to me back in 2010 in Spanish....has relevance for you....and for your calling. I will greatly appreciate your reaction to the words of Sonia that can be seen here in both Spanish as well as English:

Daq, over these past two years I have not obeyed the admonition that Sonia gave.....I haven't gotten back into fasting and prayer quite like I used to do back in the early '80's. I am still terribly dull of hearing and rather blind.......but I feel powerfully that what Sonia wrote to me.....is highly relevant for you as well?!

Those are kind words but I do not seek a following otherwise you would see links plastered everywhere. If the Master leads someone there then haply they find it, and perhaps it was meant for them, but if they do not then haply they do not. There are the thousands of Judah who believe as I believe and it is not because of myself, nor will it be because of myself, but because the Most High put it in them just as he did in me. And as for prophets beware of that secret desire to become a prophet and thinking oneself to be a mighty one; for your own "mother" and "father" who begat you will be the ones to thrust you through in the End: No more a prophet am I, but a tiller of 'adamah am I; for the Son of man purchased me from my youth!

Yes, humility is astonishingly important! Excellent answer Daq....but just pray about it......there are examples of people being too humble such as when the Prophet Elijah fled to Mt. Horeb after Queen Jezebel threatened him. This might not have been as much out of fear as out of a false sense of being unwilling to admit that God could....and obviously wanted to do even greater miracles through Elijah?!?!


The example of King Saul hiding when Israel was seeking a king seems to be another example of people running away from their calling?!

Was the latter end of king Saul a good one?
"The tsebiy of Israel is slain upon thy high places! (Re: Daniel 11:41) how are the mighty fallen!"

Hosea 13:4-12 KJV
4. Yet I am the Lord thy God from the land of Egypt, and thou shalt know no god but me: for there is no Saviour beside me.
5. I did know thee in the wilderness, in the land of great drought.
6. According to their pasture, so were they filled; they were filled, and their heart was exalted; therefore have they forgotten me.
7. Therefore I will be unto them as a lion: as a leopard by the way will I observe them:
8. I will meet them as a bear that is bereaved of her whelps, and will rend the caul of their heart, and there will I devour them like a lion: the wild beast shall tear them.
9. O Israel, thou hast destroyed thyself; but in me is thine help.
10. I will be thy king: where is any other that may save thee in all thy cities? and thy judges of whom thou saidst, Give me a king and princes?
11. I gave thee a king in mine anger, and took him away in my wrath.
12. The iniquity of Ephraim is bound up; his sin is hid.

The "kings" of this genos-kind cannot be seen with the natural eye:

1 Samuel 8:7-17
7. And the Lord said unto Samuel, Hearken unto the voice of the people in all that they say unto thee: for they have not rejected thee, but they have rejected me, that I should not reign over them.
8. According to all the works which they have done since the day that I brought them up out of Egypt even unto this day, wherewith they have forsaken me, and served other gods, so do they also unto thee.
9. Now therefore hearken unto their voice: howbeit yet protest solemnly unto them, and shew them the manner of the king that shall reign over them.
10. And Samuel told all the words of the Lord unto the people that asked of him a king.
11. And he said, This will be the manner of the king that shall reign over you: He will take your sons, and appoint them for himself, for his chariots, and to be his horsemen; and some shall run before his chariots.
12. And he will appoint him captains over thousands, and captains over fifties; and will set them to ear his ground, and to reap his harvest, and to make his instruments of war, and instruments of his chariots.
13. And he will take your daughters to be confectionaries, and to be cooks, and to be bakers.
14. And he will take your fields, and your vineyards, and your oliveyards, even the best of them, and give them to his servants.
15. And he will take the tenth of your seed, and of your vineyards, and give to his officers, and to his servants.
16. And he will take your menservants, and your maidservants, and your goodliest young men, and your asses, and put them to his work.
17. He will take the tenth of your sheep: and ye shall be his servants.

Therefore who is it that are truly "the lost sheep of the House of Israel" in light of this passage? Unless these "kings" are slain then a "lost sheep of the House of Israel" is not yet fully brought back or grafted into the fold, (one at a time, each in his appointed times, and none shall be alone in his appointed times; and no man knows the day or the hour, but the Father only). My dominion also is therefore not of this world; for in my dominion the sun shines with the light of seven days and there is the Great King of above and the holy city of above, which is the city of the Great King; then there is the King of the heart, who searches the reins and hearts, and is seated at the right hand of the Great King: and thirdly there is myself, made third ruler of my dominion since the night in which that old man "Bel-dak" was slain.

Actually it wasn't just a threat from Jezebel. She was a witch and had sent a death curse after Elijah. Witchcraft is a major part of Ashtoreth worship and Jezebel was her high priestess of that day and I have had dealings with a modern day high priestess of Ashtoreth. I know exactly what Elijah was going through. I have been through a similar experience.

Good point Yahu!

It is true that I have no real idea of what Elijah was up against and even in our rather tame lives it is amazing how often our breakthrough come just after the hardest battles!

But didn't Moses/Moshe pray something to the effect of: "Oh that all the Lord's servants were prophets.?"

Whose words do you personally think will come to pass over the long run...the words of the people who attempt to nail down prophecy to having ended at a certain time period....or the words of the man who genuinely hoped for the day when the most feeble Jew...would be as King David....who certainly demonstrated an amazing prophetic gift through his Psalms!!!???

If a man says he is a prophet, you can pretty much take it to the bank that he isn't - at least not a prophet of the God of Israel.

Well Yedida, I believe we are close to the time period when the MOST FEEBLE Jew, will be stronger than King David, who was certainly a prophet based on the obvious level of prophecy displayed in the Psalms!


Zechariah 12:8
In that day shall the LORD defend the inhabitants of Jerusalem; and he that is feeble among them at that day shall be as David; and the house of David [shall be] as God, as the angel of the LORD before them.


True, we aren't quite there yet....but we may well be closer than we imagine!

Now another thing is that I am biased toward the Catholic Bible being an inspired book that we stole from the Jewish people. It may not be quite as good as the 66 books of the Protestant Bible.....but it is certainly in that league and surely the words of Baruch the friend of Jeremiah would have at least some value for Protestants.


For my angel is with you: And I myself will demand an account of your souls.
(Baruch 6:6, Douay Rheims Version of Catholic Bible)

It does seem logical that the Word/Logos would make something of a covenant with all humans to at the minimum do a review of our lives....and judge us.....based on some sort of criteria??!!

I am of the opinion that the question something to the effect of "What did you do with your life that you can show me" that so many people who have a brush with death report....could well be what Jeremiah's servant Baruch was referring to????!!!

After all...Elisha the servant of Elijah may have been trained how to do an out of the body experience that would give him insider information regarding the actions of the King of Syria????!!!

Just a theory!!

Moses/Moshe wanted ALL THE PEOPLE OF G-D TO BE PROPHETS.....The Pharisees wish to nail down the age of prophecy to a specific time period and no other....who is more likely to have their will done....Moses/Moshe....or the Pharisees????
