Fresh Eyes, Eternal Words (poem)

I penned some lines in seasons past,

Some are refreshed -- They still will last.

The Lord, with wisdom, still refines,

And guides my eyes to realign.

Posts once published, may not be sealed,

For newer truths may be revealed.

His Spirit leads -- I’m gently shown,

That past and present, are His own.

If you have read what I wrote before,

Re-read some again -- He may show more.

His Word still speaks. It has no age,

Each post remains, a living page.

Friends,

I often am amazed -- truly amazed at how The Lord gently leads me back to earlier published posts, to remind me of an insight from the past, to show me something new, or to do some helpful edits -- a refined insight, or a footnote to connect past insights to something He has recently unveiled. His Spirit guides my eyes and mind in gentle and timely ways that leave me …grateful and humbled.

What I’ve come to realize is this: To The Lord, these posts are never ‘old’. His Word and His messages are living. And when He wants to refresh them for readers and me, or to connect-the-dots to something new, He does it with patience and strategic purpose. Thus, I remain ...attentive to His leading.

Almost every month, He inspires me to revisit some past posts -- sometimes one I hadn’t thought about in years ~ then He gently nudges me to update some aspect(s), often linking them to fresh insights He’s given me since, in response to my my on-going study, prayer and meditation. In His hands, even past writings are still part of His unfolding plan.

So, if you previously read some earlier published posts, I encourage you to revisit them with fresh eyes and expectations. You never know what new insights The Lord may have waiting there …just for you.

Thanks for your support.

Peaceful blessings~

Five Jewish Migrations (Poem, Part 1)

Like a large stone that’s thrown in a lake,

Echoes of the past we can’t escape,

Until their ripples all fade away,

Because a strategy is in play!

 

We disbelieve The Lord’s strategy,

Thus, we suffer so much …needlessly!

With folks like us, history was filed,

And that has caused much blood to be spilled.

 

A heavy stone that no one can heave,

He said He’d make Jerusalem be!

In ’48, that became well known,

Fruit of a ‘seed’, that had long been sown.

 

The Bible mentions in its books and pages,

Five migrations of Jews across the ages,

By 7 men triggered, that’s what …I perceive,

By The Lord, to trigger fruits from …spoken seed. ¹

 

Pharoah, Moses, King Cyrus, then Hitler,

A Prime Minister, anti-Christ (not yet stirred),

Jesus Christ, The Lord -- a perfect 7!

Now let’s take time to unpack this lesson.

 

Genesis 15, the first migration foretold,

Abram’s seed unseen, in his loins, ‘then on-hold’. ²

We know the roles Pharoah and Moses played.

In The Book of Exodus they’re displayed.

 

Seventy-years after Babylon invaded Judah,

Persian King Cyrus freed the Judean diaspora.

The Lord had pre-named Cyrus to the prophet, Isaiah!

This prediction’s in Ezekiel and Jeremiah. ³

 

Hitler’s holocaust steeled nations’ resolve,

The ‘Jewish question’ to finally solve.

The Lord had warned Israel of the price it would pay,

For its gross sins that, before Him, folks had long displayed.

 

Hitler’s gross cruelties triggered a massive migration.

The Lord used him and it to achieve unification. ⁴

But the planned 2-state solution was never achieved.

Viola! His ‘heavy stone’ promise, folks still don’t believe! 

Historical – A Pharaoh, Prophet, Potentate, and President!

 

Three mass Jewish migrations down, 2 more to go!!

Tell me, how much about these 2 do you know??

In these three Jewish migrations, The Lord had on His Mind,

Jerusalem, the CENTERPIECE of history’s design.

 

It is the only place He said He desires! 

To perceive why, The Mind of Christ is required.

On this Earth, it’ll be where His Millennial Throne will abide.

On the new, eternal Earth, it’s the city that’ll be …His Bride!!!!!!! ⁵

 

Stay tuned for Part 2:

Massive, Monumental Migrations!

¹ 'Biblical prophecies, seed human history.' This isn’t merely my perception. It’s historical pervasion.

² In Genesis 28:10-15 and 35:9-15, The Lord’s massive land promise made to Abraham, was twice confirmed to be realized through the descendants of, Jacob, whose name was changed to Israel. However, due to their gross sinfulness over many centuries, ancient Israel and Judah never obeyed the command to conquer all of the land – stretching from the Nile to the Euphrates rivers. Both nations were eventually decimated. They were reconstituted as a unified nation in May 1948, just as predicted in Ezekiel 37. 

Moreover, The Bible iteratively emphasizes this promise will ONLY be fully realized during The Lord’s Millennial Reign – the 5th age of our history. Further, it will only be reserved for those whom The Lord deems to be righteous in His sight, and who will gladly embrace Him as The Messiah and Lord God, Almighty. Thus, Zephaniah predicts He will purge and thin out the ranks of all mortal Jewish survivors of the pending apocalypse. The remnant of mortal survivors will be joined by all of The Lord’s resurrected, then immortal, righteous, Jewish saints from across the first 4 ages of human history, to enjoy the land promise made to Abraham and Jacob. At that time, The Lord’s righteous Gentile saints from across the first 4 ages of human history -- resurrected, then immortal, will very likely facilitate His iron rod rule across the entire Gentile world. For more, see: Millennial Reign (Series). See also: Forever or Until Forever? (Poem) and Jerusalem - Practice Runs and Types (Poem).

Ponder this: How would life in the Middle East (and indeed, the world!) be if only Jews and Gentiles realized these predictions, backed up by an 80+% predictive success rate??

³ Did you know…. Ezekiel 36 is the first in a prophetic quadfecta – four major prophecies that center on Israel, but that dramatically impact the WHOLE WORLD?? This first prophecy aimed to rekindle Jewish life, culture and ceremonies in Palestine after the Babylonian destruction of Judah and Jerusalem, and before Jesus, The Lord God, would be born in Jerusalem as a mortal man, to pay the price for our sins. Ezekiel 37 is the second in this prophetic quadfecta. It manifested on May 14, 1948. Ezekiel 38 is the third prophecy in this quadfecta. See: Missed Insights in Ezekiel (Series), and search this blog for ‘Ezekiel 38’. Ezekiel 39 is the fourth prophecy in this quadfecta. It predicts the immediate after-effects of the invasion in Chapter 38; and follows up with a brief preview of the early years of The Millennial Reign age.

⁴ As was predicted in Ezekiel 37.

⁵ Surprised?? See: The Bride of Christ (Series). 2 Chronicles 6:6, Isaiah 62 and Psalm 132:13-14 and Zechariah 8:1-3 iteratively affirm The Lord’s desire for Jerusalem.

Perceived Land Grab Patterns: A Biblical Perspective

A Biblical Perspective on Land Grabs

 

Land grab is defined as the aggressive taking of land, especially by individuals, corporations, government military force, often with the intent to control or exploit the natural resources and/or labor of that land, or to expand national territorial holdings and to broaden power. 

Studying numerous, iterative patterns across the pages and ages of The Bible, I perceive it reveals a clear, layered set of land grab patterns that may not be easily perceived.

I am intentionally using the colloquial term, ‘land grab’, as it fits both the connotation, and the way we envision such acts.

Perceived Land Grab Patterns: A Biblical Perspective

Everybody's a Prophet! (Poem)

With so many ‘prophets’ of various kinds in our world,

Each attracting their varied believers and followers,

Why, then, when Scripture’s predictions unfurl,

Do people retreat, become skeptics and doubters?

No other forecast, no grandest decree,

Has matched The Bible in accuracy!

Economists warn us of markets that’ll crash.

Historians claim to foresee our decline.

Tech gurus predict the next greatest flash.

And trend-setters swear they can tell what’s ‘divine.’

Yet none of their visions, no matter how grand,

Hold Truth like The Word, time-tested and planned.

Is it the word, ‘prophet’, that pushes away?

Does ‘prophecy’ summon a weight people fear?

While ‘seers’ of finance, of science, hold sway,

To Biblical foretelling, they won’t draw near.

Is it the message, and weight of its call,

That makes folks reject what outshines them all?!

They rename their prophets to soften the blow—

‘Futurist’, ‘expert’, ‘consultant’ instead.

Draped in new titles, their claims freely flow,

While Biblical warnings are left …cold and dead.

Could it be language—a label misplaced—

That keeps God’s foretelling so wrongly erased??

What if we stripped the religious disguise,

And call His, ‘predictions’, like those used today?

Would minds be more open, less quick to despise,

If wrapped in some terms that folks won’t push away??

For Truth does not waver, no matter the name!

The Lord’s prophecies are untouched by our game.

The Power's Points (Poem, Part 4)

See the series here

His Power turned up!

You might agree on this point pivotal:

Across the world, events unusual,

Power of The Power’s lessons,

Greatly increased, with more tensions! 

Famine’s grips unrelenting.

Wild beasts now more tormenting!

Wars and rumors, continuous!!

Pestilences more perilous!!! ¹

Today, we witness Earth’s loud groans,

New disasters, before unknown!

‘Tis not ‘the end’, but birth pangs decreed!!

The Lord intends: His points ALL should heed!!!

To help us all, His points ’to get’,

He’s given us more things to fret!

Volume turned-up on new things found!!

Life’s ‘quality quotient’, He’s turned down!!!

For as in days of ancient past,

His judgments come, both slow and fast!

A call to turn, repent, believe, 

Lest His Spirit, we further grieve!!

As this 3rd age nears its close,

4th age shadows start to grow.

After The Lord’s next resurrection,

anti-Christ’s rise, then tribulation. ²

The Lord shouts out invitations:

Change your future situation,

And dodge 4th age desperations!

Enter into My salvation! ³

Upon the walls, the watchmen stood, 

Seeing threats to Judah’s statehood. 

Fervently, they blew their horns! 

But t’was too late. The Lord they’d scorned! 

Across the Internet, you can read it, ⁴

Watchmen’s alarms go unheeded!

In Judah’s ‘chair’, we’re now seated. 

For you, there’s time! Will you heed it?? ⁵
