Mene, Mene, Tekel, Parsin -- Daniel Tell It

Greetings in the Lord~

Today's word is from Daniel 5, and like the story goes -- the writing is on the wall for some folks.  I've already written that we are in a season of exposures and removals from office, and this is another word confirming that, but this is specifically for Biden (and other high ranking decision-makers).  

In this chapter, we read about the son of Nabonidus, Belshazzar, throwing a big party.  His father is the king of Babylon, but he is the co-king, so this is a grand affair.  At one point, he calls for the golden cups -- taken from the Temple in Jerusalem, to be brought in so they can drink out of them.  Well, this ends up being his final act of arrogance towards God.  While they are drinking and making toasts to their gods with these cups, a hand supernaturally appears to write some words on the wall near the lamp where they can all see it.  It writes: MENE, MENE; TEKEL, PARSIN.  Though they can most likely read the Aramaic words, no one knows the significance of them, not even the "wise men" of the court who are called in to interpret it.

It's then that the older Queen Mother, who lived during the reign of King Nebuchadnezzar, told King Belshazzar of the wise Daniel, the exiled Israelite made famous during Nebuchadnezzar's reign.  If anyone would be able to read and interpret the mysterious writing, it was this Daniel, she maintained.  Well, we know the story.  Daniel came in and basically rebuked the young king for not learning the lesson of King Nebuchadnezzar -- arrogance against God will get you into deep trouble!  Belshazzar knew well the tale: though he was the most powerful king to ever live, King Neb was also removed by God for 7 years and forced to live like an animal until he acknowledged that God is Sovereign over all the earth.  Yet now, Belshazzar was acting far more arrogant!    

So Daniel continued by reading the writing on the wall and giving him the meaning -- MENE : Your days are "numbered," friend.  TEKEL: you've been "weighed" on a scale and not measured up.  PARSIN: your kingdom is "divided" and given to others.  Historically speaking, we know that Babylon was invaded that night and overtaken by the Medes and Persians, and that Belshazzar perished.  Grim for him, but that was his fate as written on the wall.

So today, we can understand that events are going to change very quickly in the U.S. and that Biden's days in the hot seat are numbered as well.  The Lord raises kings up, and deposes others as He sees fit -- so be it.  However, the lesson is the same for all of us -- arrogance towards God will get you into deep trouble.  So, it is good to pray for the Bidens and our country during this time, as things are going to get a little bumpy, but take refuge in Him and we will come out OK in the long run.  Transitions are hard at times, but putting your trust in God is a sure bet.  The Lord will take care of us.

~Be blessed and be a blessing.

Joel 2: Locusts Swarm and Devour the Land

  Greetings in the Lord~ Today's word comes from Joel 2, and is accompanied by a dream.  Let me first share about the passage from scripture.  In this passage, we read about the Lord directing an 'army' of locusts to come to devour and plunder the land as a form of judgment.  Interestingly, devouring locusts were one of the plagues that happened in Egypt long ago as a form of judgment to compel Pharaoh to let the Israelites leave their country--freeing them of their slavery.  Here, however, the plague of locusts come as a form of judgment upon His people for their persistent sin and stubborn rebellion against God.   "Ahead of them (locusts) the land lies as beautiful as the Garden of Eden.  Behind them is nothing but desolation, not one thing escapes....Look at them as they leap along the mountaintops.  Listen to the noise they make--like the rumbling of chariots, like the roar of fire sweeping across a field of stubble, or like an army moving into battle."  "

I Have Faith

Greetings in the Lord! Today's word is from 2 Thessalonians 3:1-2: "Finally, brothers, pray for us that the message of the Lord may spread rapidly and be honored, just as it was with you. And pray that we may be delivered from wicked and evil men, for not everyone has faith." Have you ever had a conversation with a non-believer and they say, "I have faith, just not in God," or something along those lines. I am surprised at how often I have heard that! Actually, the definition of faith also includes the characteristics of trust and loyalty, so faith is more like a relationship between beings rather than a trust in a belief system, laws of nature, or inanimate objects. So, what they mean to say is that they have put their trust in something or many things other than God. These misplaced trusts are what they rely on instead of the Lord. The Bible refers to those misplaced trusts as "strongholds," similar to fortresses. Now you can see the big difference b

Righteousness and Justice Your Foundation

Greetings in the Lord! Today's word comes from Isaiah 41:14-29, of which I will share selected verses: "Do not be afraid, O worm Jacob, O little Israel, for I Myself will help you," declares the Lord, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel. "See, I will make you into a threshing sledge, new and sharp, with many teeth. You will thresh the mountains and crush them, and reduce the hills to chaff. You will winnow them, the wind will pick them up, and a gale will blow them away. But you will rejoice in the Lord and glory in the Holy One of Israel." "The poor and needy search for water, but there is none; their tongues are parched with thrist. But I the Lord will answer them; I, the God of Israel, will not forsake them. I will make rivers flow on barren heights...I will put in the desert the cedar and the acacia,....so that people may see and know, may consider and understand, that the hand of the Lord has done this, that the Holy One of Israel has created i

My Brother Ishmael

Greetings in the Lord! Today's word comes from Genesis 16:9-12 and Genesis 21:14-20~ And he said, "Hagar, servant of Sarai, where have you come from and where are you going?"  "I'm running away from my mistress Sarai," she answered. Then the angel of the Lord told Hagar, "Go back to your mistress and submit to her." The angel added, "I will so increase your descendants that they will be too numerous to count." The angel of the Lord also said to her: "You are now with child and you will have a son. You shall name him Ishmael, for the Lord has heard of your misery. He will be a wild donkey of a man; his hand will be against everyone and everyone's hand against him, and he will live in hostility toward all his brothers." Early the next morning Abraham took some food and a skin of water and gave them to Hagar. He set them on her shoulders and then sent her off with the boy. She went on her way and wandered in the

Strong Hand of the Lord Moving Now

Greetings in the Lord~ Well, there are certainly a lot of prophetic words being fulfilled right now.  First the more difficult word from February about "natural disasters" and other difficult incidents coming to pass--we've had a month of tornadoes, flooding, avalanches, bomb cyclones, blizzards, major financial drops on global stock markets and 2 incidents of hAte ideology acting out in Amsterdam and New Zealand.  Whew!  As if that isn't enough, if I include other sources where I post prophetic words, there has been a fulfillment of a word from July 2018 about the MeToo Movement hitting the "boy" and "girl" pop band music industry of Asia (Korea-K POP and Japan-J POP) and also a word of victory from Psalm 98:1 in that, there was no collusion found between Russia and President Trump.  Any sane person already knew that, but the liberal media had been lying endlessly about it for two years so we can all celebrate with President Trump that the chara

Beware of Karen and the Nicolaitans

Greetings in the Lord~ Last week the Methodists as a denomination met at their General Conference in Charlotte, NC to discuss and vote on many matters, including the controversial topic of allowing actively practicing homosexual persons to be ordained as pastors.  The vote was pretty overwhelmingly in support of that issue. Not only that, but they decided that gay marriages can be performed by such clergy in Methodist churches that are agreeable to this taking place in their church.   Needless to say, this approval goes far beyond finding common ground and unity within the denomination, as it basically endorses a tenet that is not compatible with Scripture.  But maybe more importantly, it is a beginning of fulfillment of prophetic End Time warnings given all throughout the New Testament.   These warnings can be found most directly in the 2nd chapter of the book of Revelation in reference to the sect of the Nicolaitans.  These Nicolaitan "Christians" taught that it was OK to c

Europe Awaken Yourselves

Greetings in the Lord! Today's word comes from 1 Peter 4:12-19~ "Dear friends, do not be surprised at the painful trial you are suffering, as though something strange were happening to you. But rejoice that you participate in the sufferings of Christ, so that you may be overjoyed when His glory is revealed. If you are insulted because of the name of Christ, you are blessed, for the Spirit of glory and of God rests on you. If you suffer, it should not be as a murderer or thief or any other kind of criminal, or even as a meddler. However, if you suffer as a Christian, do not be ashamed, but praise God that you bear that name. For it is time for judgement to begin with the family of God; and if it begins with us, what will the outcome be for those who do not obey the gospel of G
