Scripture: Acts 1 v 7 - 8: "And he said unto them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power.
8 But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth."Ecclesiastes 2 v 1 - 2: "To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:
2 A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;"
Greetings Friends!
Thanks for your patience. When the Lord's plans start moving forward He acts at high speed. The right door opens and suddenly prayers are answered.
This is the season of meeting new friends and seeing those who have been greatly missed. The Lord has blessed us in every way His wonders to perform.
In God's timing the wheels since Jesus ascended to Heaven seem to have turned slowly. Many have asked, "When is the promise of His coming?" Because His eyes are always on Israel her victory in regaining her homeland of the Promised Land is very important in the scheme of things.
This happened in 1948 and the reaction of Satan who was still congratulating himself for eliminating so many Jews in the Holocaust, was to keep up the pressure. Through it all Israel has thrived. No matter that they had only a tiny piece of their original land, they flourished.
Jesus said in Matthew 24 v 29 - 33: "Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:
30 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
31 And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.
32 Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh:
33 So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors."
The parable of the fig tree is that when her branch is still tender, bruised and sore from the loss of so many through Hitler's cruelty, they put on their leaves in their own land, their season has changed from death to life. They came alive. In pain and sorrow they had a place in which to mourn and to restore their roots.
In this season will a new round of tribulation begins which affects every human on Earth. We are certainly experiencing many curtain raisers in the past twenty years and this year it has speeded up. Volcanoes erupting all over the place. Many earthquakes. Floods causing deserts to bloom. Snow in hot desert areas. Turbulence in waterfalls that have been a trickle for many years. The Euphrates River drying up.
The main events are still just ahead of us. The Church, the Body of Jesus Christ, will suddenly be gone from this planet to forever be with the Lord. He is getting ready to do a very hot extraction of Israel from the jaws of Armageddon. After the great tribulation He will appear in all His glory and to gather them from every place to remove them to safety.
The timing of Israel being made a nation again with the Second Coming of Jesus is that He will be on His way, even at the doors. Right now there are large pockets of revival amongst Christians across the globe. Israel is under extreme pressure from the usual suspects. There are raging infernos around Jerusalem. Satan is on the rampage to take her out before the Son of God arrives. Missiles from the Houthis are a daily nightmare.
The balance of power in this final season is still all about Israel. The Church will have been Raptured long before to be joined to the Lord to make a glorious Bridegroom. Israel will mourn when she recognises Him after rejecting Him so tragically 2000 years ago.
John 1 v 10 - 12: "He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.
11 He came unto his own, and his own received him not.
12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:"
But His heart will be filled with joy when He hears Her voice in Revelation 22 v 17: "And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely."
There will be a new Earth and a new Heaven. There will be no more sin, tears, suffering, death or destruction. We know that God has said that we cannot even imagine the wonders and great blessings we will receive for keeping the faith.
We are entering into the final turbulence but when we come out of it there will be love, peace and joy forever. Hallelujah to the King of Kings and Lord of Lords. How wonderful to be loved by our Father.
Prayer: Heavenly Father, we worship You in Spirit and in truth. Thank You for all our blessings, and all Your love. We pray for peace in Jerusalem. We pray for the fires to be extinguished around the beautiful city. Let us go through this season doing the perfect will of God. Let us reach the fallen and the lost and guide them home. In Jesus' name. Amen.
