Ok, this blog is a little backwards. First I kind of dissect Psalm 118 which is about the Feast of Tabernacles. I am studying it out because of a dream that I had telling me that it's upon us, or rather, it's coming! Then I get into the dream and onto the current events fulfilling the second advent prophesies. It's pretty exciting stuff but also sad because most of the church isn't recognizing the hour, just like in Jesus's day. It's all repeating again. My suspicion is the wider church culture will also be the main persecutors of those who are one with Christ, just like in His first coming. At least that's what He has said to me as far as I can tell (through that dark and foggy glass).
Psalm 118:
"It is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in princes." (v. 9) Here begins the theme and the lesson that Israel will learn in the last day! Here is the theme of all scripture, and the crux of man's fall: you can rely on yourselves, or upon the Lord.
The Nations Surround Israel:
"All nations compassed me about: but in the name of the Lord will I destroy them. They compassed me about like bees; they are quenched as the fire of thorns: for in the name of the Lord I will destroy them. Thou hast thrust sore at me that I might fall: BUT THE LORD HELPED ME."
This speaks of the nations surrounding and attacking Israel after Israel makes a peace agreement with them, falsely believing that they are in a peace-pact. I won't go into those verse but anyone can study them. One is in Psalms...I think it's 79 or 80?
Psalm 118 shows us that when they finally give up on "princes" and call upon the name of the Lord, they will proclaim this:
"The Lord is my strength and song, and is become my salvation."
Themes are a safe place to discover truth. The theme is always that God's people turn to a world power or leader for help, and for this idolatry, God judges them by giving them over to their idols. Let them save you! Well, they never do, and the princes always enslave God's people until they call out for the tender mercies of God who always saves them. For a while, they are faithful to Him alone until another threat comes upon them, then they align with another world power (aka "beasts") and it all happens again. I say "beasts" because all of the heads of the beast were all Gentile powers that persecuted Israel, usually after Israel turned to them. (Assyria, Babylon, Greece, Rome etc.).
Feast Of Tabernacles: Turning to God, One w/ God.
And this leads us to the soon to come Feast of Tabernacles. It is a spiritual feast of the fullness of God in Christ indwelling His temple (His people) and then Christ Himself coming to earth. Believers have the down payment on this feast, but it isn't fulfilled just yet. However, I am still studying so don't quote me. If the Lord has taught you about it please comment. But Psalm 118 pertains to the remnant turning to Messiah as Paul stated in Romans 11.
Once Israel turns to Messiah, they will say this:
"The voice of rejoicing and salvation is in the tabernacles of the righteous: the right hand of the Lord doeth valiantly. The right hand of the Lord is exalted: the right hand of the Lord doeth valiantly."
This is a Psalm of praise to God for saving them; they finally called on His name. They finally turned from trusting in the power of men and princes to trusting and "staying" themselves on God!
"Open to me the gates of righteousness: I will go into them, and I will praise the Lord: (v.19)
Then the Psalms speaks of Messiah's rejection by his people, and Jesus quoted this exact verse. (This Psalm was also sung every day on the Feast of Tabernacles which kind of gave me confirmation that the Lord was speaking it to me in the dream. The dream was on Jan 18, or 1/18 or 118 which I discuss below. They sang Hosanna in the highest, blessed is he that comes in the name of the Lord one time every day as they marched around the altar. On the 8th day of the feast, they marched around the altar seven time and cried a great HOSANNA. They expected Jesus to save them then.)
"The stone with the builders refused is become the head stone of the corner. This is the Lord's doing, and it is marvelous in our eyes." v. 22 &23
Then he prays "save now" which is the Hebrew meaning of "Hosanna" or "Save Now". The Savior comes to Save God's people by His own Right Hand (Christ the Messiah).
Now, Messiah's first and second advents are spoken of here (according to Dake).
"Blessed be he that cometh in the name of the Lord: we have blessed you out of the house of the Lord."
Jesus quotes this exact verse in this heart-wrenching proclamation:
"Oh Jerusalem, Jerusalem, which killest the prophets, and stonest them that are sent unto thee; how often would I have gathered thy children together, as a hen doth gather her brook under her wings, and ye would not! Behold, you house is left unto you desolate; and verily I say unto you, ye shall not see Me, until the time come when ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord." Lk 13:34-35
The people waved the palm branches and quoted this verse in Psalm 118 when Jesus rode into the city on the Donkey, but shortly thereafter they screamed, "Crucify Him!" hence Jesus prophesies their destruction. How profound to hear God's heart of love and longing to bless them and his sorrow that they chose the rough waters of destruction due to their idolatry. Lord help us to stay ourselves upon you alone, to gather under your wings of protection as little chicks under a mother hen. Will we? Or will we be strong and proud in our own devices? Where will we run in this gathering storm? To things that make sense to man?
But this speaks to the Jewish remnant that were prophesied over and over who will finally turn from the power of men and will cry to Jehovah alone-and Jehovah will save them. And this will conclude man's constant wayward drift towards man, self, idols. The fall was more about position with God than anything else. Adam, where are you? You left my side Adam, where did you go? To whom did you flee for love, care, protection, satisfaction? As my pastor preached recently, we can be set apart, or sanctified, to anything. This question is a call to confession unto restoration of position i.e. communion with God. Nothing could be sweeter.
The Dream: It's Coming! Get ready.
On January 18, I had a dream of a woman who was leading worship and playing a piano. She looked back at me and said, "The Feast of Tabernacles is coming!" Then either she or I said, "Open your mouth wide for the Feast of Tabernacles" (or I said, "I will open my mouth wide for the Feast of Tabernacles.") My friend pointed out that the dream was on 1/18 and she suggested I look at Psalm 118. I was stunned to see the I had that dream of the coming fulfillment of the Feast of Tabernacles and Psalm 118 is the Psalm that Jesus referred to when he said, "You will not see me until you say Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord." The Jews sang this exact Psalm every day of the 8 day Feast! (On the 8th day they poured the water out but I won't get into that.) This was also sung at the last supper before Jesus went to the cross. Wow! Israel is about to go into tribulation, or is in tribulation it appears, and will lead to the coming of the Lord as the scales fall from the eyes as per all of the last days prophesies!
I now believe that the Lord was telling me to speak more about the signs coming to pass that are pointing to Jesus's soon return! May all of us warn and comfort others with this truth. Lord help us if we are banking on a wealth transfer, or America's golden age! This is a set up to accept the Antichrist by placing our hope in the world's system that God is coming to utterly destroy, the pride of man expressed in Babylon's pride and idolatry. Lord, open every eye to see this.
When Jesus first came, he constantly showed the people how everything that was happening was in fulfillment of the prophetic scriptures. Christ fulfills all scripture. Here is the wonderful truth: all are not yet fulfilled for there are many hundreds of prophesies given in regards to His second coming, and just as Jesus heard the Father as He studied the word, and just as Anna knew to go into the temple, and just as Simeon recognized the time, so too are we to study the word and be taught by His Spirit so we can understand the prophesies coming to pass right now! At minimum, just hear the Lord quicken our spirits which doesn't take a lot of study, just faith and seeking Him.
I am shouting from the housetops, we have the peace deals forming, we have the Israelis making deals with Muslim nations (ie; Islam!). We gotta get our heads straight. Are we so desirous of U.S power and having our comfortable lives that we don't blink when our nation is getting cozy with nations who worship Allah? What happened? Where are the "prophets" calling out these dangerous sins!? We are so far gone right now, and for that judgment/discipline is coming to the Western church. I heard this from the Lord so I am saying it. Read Ezekiel 14-16 that's for us. God is merciful, and He loves our souls and wants us to inherit eternal life even if we lose our bank accounts! Come on we should know this. (I won't say but I digress, but I digress.)
So many signs are coming to pass, but are we SEEING them, or are we seeing but not seeing, hearing but not hearing?
Zachariah is a stunning book, like so many others, of current events. Specifically, Zachariah 12-14 which are beyond beautiful and informative about what we see happening right now. In these verses, we are told of a peace deal that Israel will enter that culminates in the world turning against them as Jerusalem is DIVIDED. Ok, have you watched the news? If so, you will be praying hard for power to overcome what the Lord told us is soon to take place in the earth. I am speaking of mass betrayals, mass persecution, and being hated for his name, and mass delusion and deception in the world and also in the church.
The Feast of Tabernacles is coming. Israel is making peace deals with their enemies and it won't end well for them. Jerusalem will be divided, we were told thousands of years ago. They had to have Jerusalem which happened in 1967 in the Six Day War. Get it? Six days, and on the seventh day Israel rested as my tour guide was fond of saying (Shalom Pollack...totally adorable.)
This post is more of a shout to wake up if you aren't already wide awake, and get into the word if you are inclined to "prophets" telling you what to see/hear and believe. Most are false, that what I was told and I will say it, and if you hear it you should say it too because Satan is lying. Who is speaking truth as deceptions overtakes the church? If you aren't studying these prophesies, just start in Isaiah and He will show you. Then go to Zechariah for a real treat. Psalms too...all over. Once your eyes are open you see it everywhere and it's happening RIGHT NOW.
Pray that you will overcome, Jesus said, for the spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.
Selah! Oh, watch this video of these men discussing current events in light of scripture. However, if you aren't in these prophesies you have no grid to know if it's true so it may just confuse you.
