Still receiving for Zion!

A continual, steady flow from the Word of God, is bringing my attention to Zion!

Isaiah 8: 12 - 22 - Say ye not, A confederacy, to all them to whom this people shall say, A confederacy; neither fear ye their fear, nor be afraid. Sanctify the Lord of hosts himself; and let him be your fear, and let him be your dread. And he shall be for a sanctuary; but for a stone of stumbling and for a rock of offence to both the houses of Israel, for a gin and for a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem. And many among them shall stumble, and fall, and be broken, and be snared, and be taken. Bind up the testimony, seal the law among my disciples. And I will wait upon the Lord, that hideth his face from he house of Jacob, and I will look for him. Behold, I and the children whom the Lord hath given me are for signs and for wonders in Israel from the Lord of hosts, which dwelleth in mount Zion. And when they shall say unto you, Seek unto them that have familiar spirits, and unto wizards that peep, and that mutter: should not a people seek unto their God? For the living to the dead? To the law and to the testimony; if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them. And they shall pass through it, hardly bestead and hungry; and it shall come to pass, that when they shall be hungry, they shall fret themselves, and curse their king and their God, and look upward. And they shall look unto the earth; and behold trouble and darkness, dimness of anguish; and they shall be driven to darkness.

(I believe these scriptures to be depictive of things that are effecting our nation at this hour!)

Isaiah 9: (entire chapter) - vs. 1,2 - Nevertheless the dimness shall not be such as was in her vexation, when at the first he lightly afflicted the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, and afterward did more grievously afflict her by the way of the sea, beyond Jordan, in Galilee of the nations. The people that walked in darkness have seen a great light; they that dwell in the land of the shadow of death, upon them hath the light shined...vs. 5 - 8 - For every battle of the warrior is with confused noise, and garments rolled in blood; but this shall be with burning and fuel of fire. For unto us a child is born, unto us a Son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder; and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The Mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this. The Lord sent a word into Jacob, and it hath lighted upon Israel...vs. 13 - 21 - For the people turneth not unto him that smiteth them, neither do they seek the Lord of hosts. Therefore the Lord will cut off from Israel head and tail, branch and rush, in one day. The ancient and honourable, he is the head; and the prophet that teacheth lies, he is the tail. For the leaders of this people cause them to err; and they that are led of them are destroyed. therefore the Lord shall have no joy in their young men , neither shall have mercy on their fatherless and widows; for every one is an hypocrite and an evildoer, and every mouth speaketh folly. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still, for wickedness burneth as the fire; it shall devour the briers and thorns, and shall kindle in the thickets of the forest, and they shall mount up like the lifting up of smoke. Through the wrath of the Lord of hosts is the land darkened, and the people shall be as the fuel of the fire; no man shall spare his brother. And he shall snatch on the right hand, and be hungry; and he shall eat on the left hand, and they shall not be satisfied; they shall eat every man the flesh of his own arm; Manasseh, Ephraim; and Ephraim, Manasseh; and they together shall be against Judah. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.

(Again, what applies to Israel, applies to the entire world, all peoples, tongues and tribes, no matter the gender, either - young and old alike. Proverbs 14: 12 - There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.)

Isaiah 10: 1 - Woe unto them that decree unrighteous decrees, and that write grievousness which they have prescribed; to turn aside the needy from judgment, and to take away the right from the poor of my people, that widows may be their prey, and that they may rob the fatherless. And what will ye do in the day of visitation, and in the desolation which shall come from far? to whom will ye leave your glory? Without me they shall bow down under the prisoners, and they shall fall under the slain. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.

(The unjust balance in our nations' court system, presently, is dangerously aligning itself with the context of these scriptures! I believe these verses, to actually be a WARNING to the Courts of the United States of America! God has known for a very long time, that this day was coming! He revealed it to me in the year 2004. I know exactly what He said concerning this matter and I know His judgment towards it all! I saw it exposed before my very eyes by revelation of the Holy Spirit of God!)

Isaiah 10: 12 - Wherefore it shall come to pass, that when the Lord hath performed his whole work upon mount Zion and on Jerusalem, I will punish the fruit of the stout heart of the king of Assyria, and the glory of his high looks...vs. 20 - 27 - And it shall come to pass in that day, that the remnant of Israel, and such as are escaped of the house of Jacob, shall no more again stay upon him that smote them; but shall stay upon thee Lord, the Holy One of Israel, in truth. The remnant shall return, even the remnant of Jacob, unto the mighty God. For though thy people Israel be as the sand of the sea, yet a remnant of them shall return; the consumption decreed shall overflow with righteousness. For the Lord God of hosts shall make a consumption, even determined, in the midst of all the land. Therefore thus saith the Lord God of hosts, O my people that dwellest in Zion, be not afraid of the Assyrian; he shall smite thee with a rod, and shall lift up his staff against thee, after the manner of Egypt. For yet a very little while, and the indignation shall cease, and mine anger in their destruction. And the Lord of hosts shall stir up a scourge for him according to the slaughter of Midian at the rock of Oreb; and his rod was upon the sea, so shall be taken away from off thy shoulder, and his yoke from off thy neck, and the yoke shall be destroyed because of the anointing.

(I'm not yet sure, as to the full application of these scriptures upon this day, but I do know that the Holy Spirit is pressing me with 'Zion, smiting, our love for Him and a turning back to Him'.)

  • Of course, our eyes are on the nation of Israel and all that is happening for her. We must keep our prayers as a shield, garrison, guard and protection over her, as her enemies are many and are ruthless; and mercilessly taunting her!
  • I know that God knows the end from the beginning, that He sees it all and knows what's coming before it comes. He knows the choices that we will make before we make them and He knows the outcome. He also has a plan that He is ready to implement on our behalf, if we will stop and heed His voice.
  • Today, there are so many crucial circumstances, on so many crucial levels, all taking place simultaneously; all weaving their webs and all creating 'new and unfamiliar' circumstances for us to deal with. I prophesied (ten years ago - live on tape) that there would be things coming upon the earth soon, that would require of us a brand new knowledge, with which to prevail. I am seeing the very fulfillment of that prophecy, right now, in this day that we are in.
  • 'Be Sure In Knowing - The Winds Are Blowing'! This is a title in my book. Do you believe it? I do!

The Lord awakened me with this scripture this morning, early:

1 Timothy 2: 1 - 4 - I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; for kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty. For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour; who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.

I think that sums up the interpretation of all of the above scriptures and their bearing upon our world's present condition. Pray! Pray! Pray! For ALL NATIONS - PRAY! DILIGENTLY!
