Signs for the Church & Israel & Word
2/11/11
There are signs all over the place now of the times we are living in, but this week two things really stood out to me. The first was a video on the news of a woman in England attacking robbers, that were doing a smash and grab of jewelry and in the video, she literally RUNS at them, using what she had, which was only her purse. The thing was, that it was so startling to the robbers, that one of them fell off his motorcycle, as they tried to take off, and there were 6 of them. Others who had been standing and watching as often happens with the shock of such going on, suddenly garnered by the courage of this woman also joined in to apprehend the crooks !
Firstly woman often stands for the church in dreams and the Word of God.
This is not a nimble young woman, this is an experienced woman. She RUNS
At them, like it says in JOEL, of the army of God, she uses what she has, what she is equipped with.
It causes confusion because the enemy thought he had everyone subdued by his surprise attack. This
group of 6 [ the number of man and Satan ] were taken off guard, by an old lady with courage, while
others were standing around looking startled. As she takes the initiative which is equally startling to all
looking on as to the crooks all with hooded masks on, which reminds me of illuminati, and freemasons
and the “masks” they wear, suddenly the others are encouraged into action as well and also try to help.
The woman returns the jewelry to the owner ! [ His precious things ] Mankind is God’s precious things,
the pearl of great price we are to Him, and He is that to us.
The second tonight was an advertisement for a movie called “ THE EAGLE”
And in the advertisement the announcer says this, “COMING TO RESTORE THE HONOR OF AN EMPIRE !”
WOW ! That one really grabbed me especially after the sign of the courageous woman ! And it reminded
me that GIDEON was that for the nation of Israel in his day. The eagle we know is a symbol of the
prophets or the prophetic ministry of JESUS. It is also a symbol of the Roman Empire yes, but also the
symbol of the Unitied States, and God’s company of prophets.
Consider the following scriptures, in light of God telling me long ago that the end times army would be
like GIDEONS in His hands…
Mic 4:6-13 NKJV says this:
6 In that day, says the Lord, I will assemble the lame, and I will gather those who have been driven
away and those whom I have afflicted. 7 And I will make the lame a remnant, and those who were
cast off a strong nation; and the Lord shall reign over them in Mount Zion from this time forth and
forever.
8 And you, O tower of the flock, the hill and stronghold of the Daughter of Zion, unto you the former
dominion shall come, the kingdom of the Daughter of Jerusalem. 9 Now why do you cry aloud? Is there
no king among you? Has your counselor perished, that pains have taken you like a woman in labor?
10 Writhe in pain and labor to bring forth, O Daughter of Zion, like a woman in childbirth; for now you
shall go forth out of the city and you shall live in the open country. You shall go to Babylon; there you
shall be rescued. There the Lord shall redeem you from the hand of your enemies. 11 Now many nations
are assembled against you, saying, Let her be profaned and let our eyes gaze upon Zion.
12 But they know not the thoughts of the Lord, neither do they understand His plan, for He shall gather
them as the sheaves to the threshing floor.
13 Arise and thresh, O Daughter of Zion! For I will make your horn iron and I will make your hoofs
bronze; you shall beat in pieces many peoples, and I will devote their gain to the Lord and their treasure
to the Lord of all the earth. [Zech 12:1-8; 14:14.]
And…
Joel 2:1-10 The Day of the Lord
1 Blow the trumpet in Zion, And sound an alarm in My holy mountain! Let all the inhabitants of the land
tremble; For the day of the Lord is coming, For it is at hand: 2 A day of darkness and gloominess, A day
of clouds and thick darkness, Like the morning clouds spread over the mountains. A people come, great and
strong, The like of whom has never been; Nor will there ever be any such after them, Even for many successive
generations.
3 A fire devours before them, And behind them a flame burns; The land is like the Garden of Eden before
them, And behind them a desolate wilderness; All faces are drained of color. 7 They run like mighty men,
They climb the wall like men of war; Every one marches in formation, And they do not break ranks. 8 They
do not push one another; Every one marches in his own column. Though they lunge between the weapons,
They are not cut down. 9 They run to and fro in the city, They run on the wall; They climb into the
houses, They enter at the windows like a thief.
10 The earth quakes before them, The heavens tremble; The sun and moon grow dark, and the stars
diminish their brightness. 11 The Lord gives voice before His army, For His camp is very great; For
strong is the One who executes His word. For the day of the Lord is great and very terrible; Who can
endure it?
Nah 1:6-8 NKJV Who can stand before His indignation? And who can endure the fierceness of His
anger? His fury is poured out like fire,And the rocks are thrown down by Him. 7 The Lord is good, A
stronghold in the day of trouble; And He knows those who trust in Him. 8 But with an overflowing flood
He will make an utter end of its place,And darkness will pursue His enemies.
Mal 3:1-5 NKJV "Behold, I send My messenger, and he will prepare the way before Me. And the
Lord, whom you seek, will suddenly come to His temple, even the Messenger of the covenant, in whom
you delight. Behold, He is coming, "Says the Lord of hosts. 2 "But who can endure the day of His coming?
And who can stand when He appears? For He is like a refiner's fire and like launderers' soap. 3 He will sit
as a refiner and a purifier of silver; He will purify the sons of Levi, and purge them as gold and silver,
that they may offer to the Lord an offering in righteousness. 4 "Then the offering of Judah and Jerusalem
will be pleasant to the Lord, as in the days of old, as in former years. 5 And I will come near you for
judgment; I will be a swift witness against sorcerers, against adulterers, against perjurers, against those
who exploit wage earners and widows and orphans, and against those who turn away an alien — Because
they do not fear Me, "Says the Lord of hosts.
Zech 1:12-17 NKJV The Lord Will Comfort Zion
12 Then the Angel of the Lord answered and said, "O Lord of hosts, how long will You not have mercy on
Jerusalem and on the cities of Judah, against which You were angry these seventy years?" 13 And the
Lord answered the angel who talked to me, with good and comforting words. 14 So the angel who spoke
with me said to me, "Proclaim, saying, 'Thus says the Lord of hosts:
"I am zealous for Jerusalem and for Zion with great zeal. 15 I am exceedingly angry with the nations at
ease; For I was a little angry,And they helped — but with evil intent." 16 'Therefore thus says the Lord:
"I am returning to Jerusalem with mercy; My house shall be built in it," says the Lord of hosts, "And a
surveyor's line shall be stretched out over Jerusalem."' 17 "Again proclaim, saying, 'Thus says the Lord
of hosts: "My cities shall again spread out through prosperity; The Lord will again comfort Zion, And will
again choose Jerusalem."'"
Another thing that stood out this week while listening to Zechariah was again the woman in the basket
carried to Shinar [ Iraq]
Zech 5:5-11 NKJV Vision of the Woman in a Basket
5 Then the angel who talked with me came out and said to me, "Lift your eyes now, and see what this is
that goes forth." 6 So I asked, "What is it?" And he said, "It is a basket that is going forth. "He also
said, "This is their resemblance throughout the earth: 7 Here is a lead disc lifted up, and this is a woman
sitting inside the basket"; 8 then he said, "This is Wickedness!" And he thrust her down into the basket,
and threw the lead cover over its mouth. 9 Then I raised my eyes and looked, and there were two women,
coming with the wind in their wings; for they had wings like the wings of a stork, and they lifted up the
basket between earth and heaven. 10 So I said to the angel who talked with me, "Where are they carrying
the basket?" 11 And he said to me, "To build a house for it in the land of Shinar; when it is ready, the
basket will be set there on its base."
So the basket that is wickedness is carried to Iraq, and a base is set. May I submit this may be the
extensive embassy the masons have built in Iraq ? A base of operations for the middleeast. It is huge
and cost a ton of money to build. Why would we have to build such in this country if not to be used for
something on a grander scale of importance ? Just a thought….
I wondered what the Lord might say about the signs this week or if He wanted to say anything.
“ The UNBELIEF that has permeated the nation has also affected My children. They have not seen
the miracles they have desired so much to see, nor the freedom that has been promised, and which
has evaded them. Affliction works patience, and perseverance, but that is not taught much in My
church in this hour. But those who have had to endure, understand the workings of the CROSS.
The cross comes to destroy the flesh of man. The cross is the foundation for new life. Unless a seed
falls to the ground and dies, it cannot bring forth new life. There must be a dying to the ways of man.
You can lead a horse to water, but you cannot make him drink is a familiar saying of yours. It is true
for My children as well. They are like horses in a race, and in training. You can tell them about death
to self, but only through trials and tribulations can you enter into MY RESURRECTION LIFE, after it
brings death to YOUR desires, YOUR plans, YOUR idea of how I should use you, Your idea of how I will
do things.
MY WORD IS LIFE ! MY SON IS THE LIVING WORD, Who came down and laid down His life. Thus
you are to lay down your life with HIS, to attain true LIFE that HE brought to you. But so many just
want the good times, the good feelings, and even when I brought revival, all they could think of was
themselves instead of the burden I have for souls and deliverance and healing. What I do now, will be
difficult. But those who have paid the price will understand, and be brought to the forefront to speak
for ME. Like strong horses who have won the race, they will be garlanded with roses of MY PRESENCE,
and held up for all to see so that I WILL BE GLORIFIED. For men have glorified themselves, and their
own kingdoms, but now I have a people in hiding, that will soon come out of hiding, and be let loose to
conquer the land. I will MANIFEST MYSELF in the midst of suffering and destruction, and chaos, and
the enemy who is already raging, knowing he has little time left will be left stunned by what I do in you.
The church will be stunned because their idea of GRACE is that it has to be earned by being good enough.
They have lost sight of the promise. They have lost sight of MY LOVE, and they have not understood the
fullness of My love for MY OWN. Remember the parable of the workers who worked all day, and then
other workers came at the end of the day, and they were only working a short time, yet they received
the same pay as the others? This will be a bit like that. Some think their path is the only path, but I
AM LOOKING FOR SOULS. I AM SCOUTING the earth for those who will serve me, out of love, not out
of what they can get from it. I am seeking the HUMBLE who will APPRECIATE what I have done for them,
and be GRATEFUL for what I am always doing for them, for the great grace I have given them, in
forgiving them again and again and again. And I am looking for those who will GIVE IT TO OTHERS,
IN THE SAME WAY THEY HAVE RECEIVED !
Did I not say, to do unto others, as you would have them do unto you ? It is so easy to lose sight of
that principle, in the midst of comfort, and it is easy to grow complacent when all your needs are met.
Complacency leads to apathy and somnolence. Thus the church has fallen asleep in America to large
extent, but I AM AWAKENING THE SLEEPING GIANT. I am going to use My EAGLES to call them out,
to bring the TRUTH to light. I WILL RESUSCITATE MY BRIDE, and I will have a bride that shines like
the SON.”
