‘...I will bless those who bless you,

And I will curse him who curses you;

and in you, all the families of the Earth shall be blessed.’

Genesis 12:3

 

To achieve Heaven’s plans to redeem humans from the eternal curse of our sins, The Lord selected a people lineage through whom He would be born as a man to sacrifice Himself, physically and spiritually, and thus pay our unpayable price. That lineage is Jews, born through Jacob, whose name The Lord changed to Israel. From Heaven’s perspective, their selection, first hinted in Genesis 3:15 and later in Genesis 12:3, was intended as an incredible blessing! An eventual righteous remnant of that lineage will be appointed to serve Him as immortal priests in the global capital city of a promised, new, MASSIVE, eternal Earth. (Exodus 19:6) How exciting! Yet...sadly, their, and our collective sinfulness has flipped many aspects of this script.  

 

Many Christians might be conflicted about Genesis 12:3, possibly thinking it narrowly means: ‘Bless Israel, or The Lord will curse you.’ If only we would s-l-o-w  d-o-w-n and perceive the Biblical, historical and spiritual contexts of this verse, we might comprehend it in a much wider, sharper, and more ‘unsettling ‘light’ than our religious mindsets may allow. ¹ 

Foresaw, Seeing, Foreseeing: America's Decision Crossroads

America’s so-called forefathers who drafted the Constitution, ‘foresaw’ an authoritative executive who would run roughshod over the Constitution, and trash core values enshrined therein. Remember Ben Franklin’s quote, ‘A republic, IF you can keep it’. That was in response to the question, ‘What kind of government was created at the Constitutional Convention?’ The person/people who asked that question is/are long gone. We today have become the ‘you’ who apparently couldn’t keep it. Because we returned to the executive, someone who promised to fulfill just about everything those forefathers foresaw, we now see what they foresaw. 

To My Jewish Kinfolk (Letter)

Framed in The Lord’s voice, 

as He impressed upon me in prayer.

 

My Dear Jewish Kinfolk,

 

I am Jesus Christ, The Lord God, and soon-to-be-revealed Jewish Messiah. 

 

I recently inspired my servant, J!, to sharpen his focus and understanding about the 9 Hebrew/Jewish migrations historically and prophetically noted across the pages and ages of My Bible. He pointed out that 5 of those migrations were/would be hasty, 3 of which are historical, and 2 remain as prophetic. I write this letter through Him to accentuate the 2 pending hasty, global, Jewish migrations I have ordained.

 

Some Bible teachers are correct in comparing the 4th pending migration to the exodus of your ancestors out of ancient Egypt. Yet their comparisons have missed a few, key, strategic points worth clarifying. Hence this letter.

First, Long Silence, Now, Compressed Age! (Letter)

See the Letters series here

Dear Lord, 

 

When Judeans began to return to Palestine from their exile in Babylon (circa 538 BC—the 6th century BC), You allowed them about 400 years to re-establish, in Palestine, the Jewish language, lifestyle, culture, 2nd temple, and covenantal life—touted as 400 years of silence from Heaven.

 

My heart once trembled at the thought of such a long delay after the AD 70 exile ended in 1948, when Israel was re-established as a unified, modern nation. As Jews’ return from Babylon was strategically in preparation for Your first coming—Your birth as a man, Scripture is abundantly clear that their 1948 return is strategically in preparation for Your return as Earth’s global king—Your promised second coming.

The First and Last Hegemons

Psst…. Hey there,

What do you think might be Heaven’s reason for establishing and allowing hegemony among the nations of the world? ¹ Might we intuit answers by examining the Grand Marshall and Special Entry in history’s parade of hegemons—typically the first and last entries of a parade?

 

Biblically, nations emerged after the flood (Genesis 10–11); historically, our earliest, clear nation-state patterns appeared post-Tower of Babel. But why nations? Why were certain nations allowed to grow to the point that they could/would dominate other nations across a range of sectors? And why have they ultimately collapsed under their own weight—successively corroded in morality and coherence?

The Bible indicates nations were a post-Tower of Babel development, in response to The Lord’s command for people to multiply and fill the Earth. Post-flood humans had a better idea than to scatter a thin population across the vast, empty Earth! We know who won that argument! After He confused their languages, they spread far and wide, grouped by languages. That led to the development of unique cultures and social arrangements. It also led to eventual competition, as each nation developed differently, according to its culture, social arrangements, and especially available NATURAL RESOURCES! But I intuit Heaven may have had other, more strategic, ‘story-telling’ purposes in this progression.

Freedom of 'Seasoned' Speech (Poem)

Freedom of speech, an intended Grace,

Some governments give to citizens.

But with traps, it is heavily laced,

Turning some folks into …‘shitizens’!

 

You see, with Graces to us given,

We have a natural tendency,

To ‘hog’ it for ‘us, and our chosen’,

And restrict others’ dependency.

Leadership 'Inversality' (Poem)

In choosing leaders to serve,

The Lord God displays His Hand,

Giving to any people,

Leaders He knows they deserve.

He thus achieves His Grand Plan,

That’s revealed in His Bible. ¹

 

History echoes this pattern,

From ancient, to modern times.

We could see it if only,

Into folks’ hearts we could discern.

Yet there is a paradigm,

That shows it to us clearly! ²

 

Though He gives us ‘freedom of choice’,

He knows what we’ll choose in advance,

His foreknowledge plus our freedom,

Synergistically form ‘a voice’.

So what we think happens by chance,

Is that voice, shaping His outcomes! ³

14th Anniversary!

Friends,

The just-concluded 13th year (Sept.--Aug.) of Life in the Key of J! was blessed with remarkable growth, both in content (105 posts vs. 77 in Year 12), and especially readership across the world. Join me in praising The Lord for the many new readers who have joined us in exploring deeper insights into His Multi-millennial Strategic Plan for Humanity—The Holy Bible!

Jesus promised: 'To everyone who has, more will be given, and he/she will have abundance.' (Matthew 13:12) He spoke of broader, deeper insights into Heaven’s secret plans. The Lord revealed it to Joel during the 2nd age (Joel 2:28–29); then, as a man, Jesus was the last One Who helped to fulfill it at the end of that age! Peter repeated it at the start of the 3rd age (Acts 2:17–18), which I believe sparked its application to us who are thirsty and attentive during the closing years of this age! Imagine that... I now believe such outpourings will be one of Heaven’s repeating patterns at the close of each remaining age of our history (get this...) including The Millennial Reign and the post-Millennial Reign ages—fresh, confirming insights poured into thirsty souls!!!

My prayer is that you and many others will remain increasingly thirsty for Heaven's fresh downloads, and attentive to discern them by applying The Mind of Christ within us.

Every discernible, predicted precursor of the closing of this 3rd age has long been visible across the world. The only one beyond our discernment is ‘the fullness of Gentiles’ entering the Kingdom. If you are aware of other precursors not yet on the scene, please let me know!

Thank you for your readership in the months ahead, and your encouraging financial support (no matter how small). I look forward to your probing questions that challenge and sharpen us as we continue this journey together.

‘New year’ blessings~

—Brother J!

Hasty Jewish Migrations (Part 3)

Click here to see the series, plus 

9, predicted, major, Jewish migrations

 

Parts 1–2 trace 5 hasty Jewish migrations—3 historical, 2 prophetic—and the patterns behind them. It poetically frames the 5 hasty migrations as catalyzed by 7 men: an Egyptian Pharaoh, Moses, a Roman Emperor, Germany's Hitler, the final anti-Christ man, Jesus The Lord God, and either the anti-Christ's prophet/prime minister, OR possibly one of Israel's prime ministers who might commit despicable acts that trigger massive, global anti-Jewishness. 

 

Here’s a reminder of the list of 9 major, Jewish migrations across The Bible, 5 of which would be hasty:

1.     Canaan → Egypt (not hasty)

2.     Egypt → Canaan (hasty #1)

3.     Israel → Assyria (not hasty)

4.     Judah → Babylon (not hasty)

5.     Babylon → Judah (not hasty)

6.     Judea → the world (AD 70) (hasty #2)

7.     Europe → Israel (post-1945) (hasty #3)

8.     Worldwide → Israel (pre-MR) (hasty #4, prophetic)

9.     Worldwide → Israel (post-MR) (hasty #5, prophetic)

 

Part 3 connects those patterns to The Lord’s Grace, Judgments, and the rise-and-fall of hegemon nations, to demonstrate how and why the 2 final hasty migrations might unfold as The Bible predicts.

 

Let’s briefly take note of some pre- and post-migratory parallelisms in Jewish history and in yet-fulfilled prophecies. Relevant questions may be:

 

1. Were all major migrations away from the promised land, triggered as a result of their unrepented sinfulness during lengthy periods in that land?

2. Were/will all return migrations back to the promised land triggered by The Lord’s Grace ‘to give them another chance’, and in preparation for His unique events that would/will have global impacts?

3. What were/might be significant external factors that might have impacted/will impact the 5 hasty migrations? (Prepare for a shocking insight!) 

Arming for Armageddon (Poem)

See the Armageddon series here

Shhh...

Here’s something I think the world doesn’t know:

As arms cascade, and armies parade,

Show-casing arms, they’ll use against foes,

They’re arming for what Scripture portrays.

 

It’s earthly foes, they all have in mind,

As new weapons, they crave, then design.

They speak in terms, their foes to malign,

Like young bullies act, in ways benign.

Good Works Delusions (Poem)

See the Discerning Delusions series here

 

There’s a strange paradox I perceive,

On both sides of the ‘Christian divide’, 

Folks Christian and Christianesque alike,

About good deeds, and what they believe.

What The Bible says, they over-ride,

And think, with The Lord, a deal they’ll strike!

 

I perceive some Christians may agree,

‘Good deeds salvation’ just isn’t their thing,

But something for other religions.

They ‘signed up’ for salvation that’s free!

So the ‘good deeds thing’, they’re not buying!!

About this, they’ve got strong convictions. 

Closer Than We Think!

 ‘Therefore wait for Me,’ says The Lord, ‘Until the day I rise up for plunder; My determination is to gather the nations to My assembly of kingdoms, to pour on them My indignation, all My fierce anger; all the Earth shall be devoured with the fire of My jealousy. For then I will restore to the peoples a pure language [a global unitary language, like pre-Tower of Babel], that they all may call on The Name of The Lord, to serve Him with one accord. From beyond the rivers of Ethiopia, My worshipers, the daughter of My dispersed ones, shall bring My offering. In that day you [Jews worldwide] shall not be shamed for any of your deeds in which you transgress against Me [disbelief, denial, denigration, etc.], for then I will take away from your midst [population of Jews worldwide] those who rejoice in your [Jewish and typical human] pride, and you shall no longer be haughty in My holy mountain [global government in the Millennial Reign age, the ‘seat’ of which will be Jerusalem, in a greatly expanded Israel]. I will leave in your midst a meek and humble people [the post-apocalyptic population of Jews worldwide], and they shall trust in The Name of The Lord [The Messiah]. The remnant of Israel shall do no unrighteousness, and speak no lies, nor shall a deceitful tongue be found in their mouth; for they shall feed their flocks and lie down, and no one shall make them afraid [because of the presence of The Lord God Almighty ruling the Earth].’ (Zephaniah 3:8-13)

 

This prophecy was given in the 7th century BC, during the 2nd age of human history. It looks forward to the dawn of the The Millennial Reign age, the 5th age of history, when The Lord will have ended the apocalypse at Armageddon.

 

Ever since this amazing prophecy was pronounced, penned, preserved, propagated and preached, I imagine people who were, and are now familiar with it, may have wondered:
