Athaliah Set Up in Babylon

 Greetings in the Lord~

So, last week the prophetic word of the Lord came from Zechariah 3 (and Amos 3-4 & Ezekiel 23), and this week it is more from Zechariah, chapters 5-6.  These two chapters provide more visions of what is to come, but they basically illustrate the word given last week and add a few more details.

First, in Zechariah 5, the prophet sees a vision of a huge giant scroll flying over the land.  He finds out from an angel that this scroll has words of woe and curses for the thieves and liars on the land.  In other words, it seems that the most prevalent sins happening on the land at the time were thievery and lying.  Hmmm...sound familiar?  And while these are definitely sins of common occurrence, we can also understand that they are part of a wicked mindset that has been embraced by the evil doers of the land, those that are rebelling against God and His laws, i.e. an antichrist or idolatrous mindset.  The curse allotted against them is that they will be banished from the land and that the curses will even enter their homes and destroy them as well.  These curses sound similar to what was decreed against Cain.  You might remember that Cain and Abel were the first 2 sons of Adam, and Cain killed Abel because he was jealous that Abel's sacrifice was accepted by God while Cain's was not.  How very similar to today!  

Today's woke/liberal mindset is akin to Cain's: he wanted to serve God on his own terms, give to God on his own terms, obey God on his own terms, and when God rejected these behaviors, Cain reacted with anger, jealousy, and murderous intention against his righteous brother.  That is the rage and jealous, foul anger we see happening in the woke crowd against the righteous and anything pious.  It is the same rage and hate we see against Trump and likeminded individuals.  I have long said that if someone hates Trump, that person needs to recognize their hate as rebelliousness towards God, for God has chosen Trump to be a stumbling block for the wicked.  I will say that again: Donald Trump is not a savior, but a divinely chosen "stumbling block" for the wicked.  He will cause the falling down of many people because his mere presence is meant to sift the nation, to divide the righteous from evil compromisers.  His love for the United States is meant to represent the love God has for this nation.  (And it's not an exclusive love, God loves any nation that will turn to Him and uphold His laws and covenants!)  But a time does come when the wicked and all those trying to snuff out the Light of Jesus Christ in this nation will be called to account for their ungodliness, while the godly will rejoice at the strong hand of the Lord moving among us.  The curse of "banishment" is the removal of one from God's presence, His blessings, and His goodness.  The rain may fall on the godly and the ungodly alike, but that is not the same as living under the shadow of His wing, or dwelling in His presence, or any of the other allegories we have of God taking care of His people.  If you seek to 'do it on your own' and want to lie, cheat and steal, the coming curse is for you.      

So how can we understand today's prophetic word from Zechariah 5-6?  Well, like I just mentioned, it begins with those who are in agreement with anti-God mindsets that enable them to lie, cheat, and steal without any regard of God and His laws; they will incur the curse of banishment from His presence.  And since most Americans are used to living under blessings, their coming change of circumstances will be a very rude awakening for them.  The void from the departure of God's presence may cause some to run back to Him in repentance, but for others not; but that is another blog.  

Next, we read about the vision of a wicked woman being in a large "measuring" basket who is then carried off to "Babylonia" by two female creatures.  This wicked woman--some call her "Athaliah,"  is to be set up in the temple in Babylonia.  I have already written and do believe that the totality of the sins of this nation results in the emergence of a wicked woman to sit in power for a period of time in "Babylonia," i.e. the United States, and have referred to her as "Athaliah" (but that is the demonic spirit at work, so named after the wicked daughter of Jezebel who came to power by killing off all of the rightful male heirs to the throne in Jerusalem).  Whew, long sentence.  And it's not just the sins of thievery and lying that bring this evil woman to the throne, but rather, the aggregate sins of "Cain" that were mentioned before--wanting to do all things on their own terms regardless of truth, integrity, justice, or obedience to any of God's laws.  It is a system of governance that flips its noses at submission to God and godly ruling.  The wicked idolatrous system of Babylon has its roots in the Tower of Babel story--where they wanted to reach heaven on their own terms, a self-righteousness that circumvents God's righteous requirements and edicts--just like trying to institute a fake voting system that purports honest elections while printed off ballots are brought in through the back door and voting machines that change Trump votes to Biden votes with ungodly algorithms and contrived "correction" of electronic votes.  The simple fact remains--you cannot build a tower to heaven, and any system based on dishonesty, greed, and violence will not rule the world for long.  But I digress....  

Anyway, the passage in Zechariah goes on after that to talk about the releasing of four chariots to the four corners of the land.  These chariots are being pulled by different color horses, which as you can guess, are similar to the colors of horses mentioned in the book of Revelation (red, black, white, and grey).  Therefore, we can discern that also during this time of the wicked woman in the basket / Athaliah, both before and after, there will be great trouble on the land.  Red symbolizes anger/protests, black is famine or financial hardships,  white is war and violence, and grey is death or extreme hopelessness.  Doesn't sound good, huh?

Yet, by the end of chapter 6, we read about the re-installation of Joshua and Zerubbabel over the land to govern and re-build it for the Lord.  Amen!  So, once again, we see that the last prophetic word is given again today, only this time in visual form.  Praise God for His perfect will and providence over all things!  The Lord truly has a divine reset plan in place, even though it may look seriously chaotic and desperate at times, we can trust the Lord.  No matter what may be going on or how it looks like the enemy of our souls is "winning," the Sovereign Lord is victorious in the end.  He will turn the tables on His enemies; they will be uprooted along with all of their schemes and the righteous will praise the Lord for His divine justice and mercy.  Joshua, DJT, will be re-instated in leadership once again over the land to lead in the re-building process--Amen and amen!

~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."  "

A Tsunami of Truth and Justice

  Greetings in the Lord~ Today's word comes from Psalm 31, and there are a couple of visions I will share as well. First, Psalm 31 is one that I don't get very often, probably because most of us don't find ourselves in this type of situation very often, if at all.  It is one in which the psalmist is crying out in deep distress and anguish to the Lord, even feeling like he is wasting away physically and emotionally all because of a great unjust conspiracy against him, a conspiracy so powerful and pervasive that everyone is running away from him, so it seems to the psalmist.  It is a lament of helplessness and abandonment that arises from the extreme wickedness of his foes, and distancing of those who were allies but now have retreated in self-preservation mode.  So while in immense distress, the psalmist resigns himself, even his very fate, to God alone and puts all his trust in the Lord to save him.  Complete surrender, like fasting and repentance, is a sure way to get God&

It's Not that Strange, Doctor

Greetings in the Lord! Today's word comes from Revelation 9, of which I will share verse 20-21: The rest of mankind who were not killed by these plagues still did not repent of the work of their hands; they did not stop worshiping demons, and the idols of gold, silver bronze, stone, and wood--idols that cannot see or hear or walk.  Nor did they repent of their murders, their magic arts, their sexual immorality or their thefts. Man, people can be really stubborn.   Revelation 9 is a chapter that tells of all the destruction and hardship--"plagues"-- to come to the earth as a result of unrepentant sin before the coming of Jesus.  Using colorful and vivid imagery, it paints a picture of how spiritual beings and demons will be released to cause these torments, and yet, people will not give up their magic arts, worship of false gods, or sinful lifestyles.  They just go on obstinately believing in lies and deceptions because they want to, that's the bottom line.  They

Battlements of Rubies, Gates of Sparkling Jewels

Greetings in the Lord! Today's word is from Isaiah 54:1-17. I will highlight selected verses: V. 2 "Enlarge the place of your tent, stretch your tent curtains wide, do not hold back; lengthen your cords, strengthen your stakes. V. 3 For you will spread out to the right and to the left; your descendants will dispossess nations and settle in their desolate cities. V. 10 Though mountains be shaken and the hills be removed, yet my unfailing love for you will not be shaken nor my covenant of peace be removed," says the Lord, who has compassion on you. V. 11 "O afflicted city, lashed by storms and not comforted, I will build you with stones of turquoise, your foundations with sapphires. V. 14 In righteousness you will be established; Tyranny will be far from you; you will have nothing to fear. Terror will be far removed; it will not come near you. V. 15 If anyone does attack you, it will not be my doing; whoever attacks you will surrender to you. V. 16 "See, it is I w

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
