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~

Hasty Jewish Migrations (Poem, Part 1)

Click here to see the series, plus 

the 9, predicted, major, Jewish migrations

~0~

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 filled,

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. ¹

 

In total, five hasty migrations are planned,

For Jews into and out of the ‘promised land’,

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

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

 

Pharaoah, Moses, Rome’s Emperor, then Hitler,

anti-Christ and his Prime Minister?? (not yet stirred),

Jesus Christ, The Lord -- a perfect 7!

Now let’s take time to unpack this lesson. ²

 

In Genesis 15, the first migration was foretold,

Abram’s future seed, unseen in his loins, was ‘on-hold’.

We all know the roles Pharaoah and Moses played.

In The Book of Exodus, they are displayed. 3

 

Onto Judah and Jerusalem, Rome’s armies descended,

Six decades after, back to Heaven, The Lord Jesus ascended.

They destroyed Judah and Jerusalem, then burned the Temple!!

Just as Jesus forewarned, many Christians fled in a scramble!!! 4

 

Hitler’s holocaust steeled nations’ resolve,

The ‘Jewish question’ to finally solve.

The Lord forewarned Israel of the price it would pay,

For its gross sins that, before Him, folks had long displayed. 5

 

Hitler’s gross cruelties triggered a massive migration.

The Lord used him and it to achieve unification.

The UN’s planned 2-state solution was never achieved.

Voila! His ‘heavy stone’ promise, folks still do not believe! 

 

Historical ~~> A Pharaoh, Prophet, Emperor, 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!! 6

----------

¹ See: Zechariah 12:2-3. This prophecy became historical when The Lord fulfilled His prophecy in Ezekiel 37, on May 14, 1948. Always keep this in mind: 'Biblical prophecies, seed human history.' This isn’t merely my perception. It’s historical pervasion. So, across The Bible, can you ‘perceive prophetic puzzle pieces’ are strategically placed for us to imagine how they might connect? Since over 80% of them have been fulfilled (have become historical), it should be much easier for us, in our day, to connect the remaining 20%, compared to our recent ancestors, right-t-t???

² The 7 men are: 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 wh might commit despicable acts that trigger global anti-Jewishness. 

 ³ The Bible and history confirm a total of 9 significant Hebrew/Jewish migrations, 5 of which will have been/will be hasty.

     ◊ They began with the migration of Jacob’s family to ancient Egypt, to flee a deep famine across Canaan. This migration was foretold in Genesis 15; stage set in Genesis 37 – 47; and activated in Exodus 12. The Lord predicted this migration to Abram over 430 years before it would be fulfilled. What other so-called gods have such unique ability to predict the distant future?!?

    ◊ They will end with a global migration of Jewish apocalypse survivors, to a greatly expanded Israel, in response to a command issued by Jesus, The Lord God, Who will be on Earth as its Millennial Global King. (See: Isaiah 60, 66, et al)

⁴ See: Siege of Jerusalem. Many Christians heeded Jesus’ Luke 21:20-21 warning, and fled Judah, for the autonomous Roman province of Syria. But most non-Christians fled to Jerusalem, believing it would be a fortress against the armies. They paid for their wrong choice with their lives. 

⁵ See: Matthew 27:15-26. Have you ever wondered whether there might be any spiritual connections between these verses …and the holocaust?? Ohhhh, the price we pay for …our wrong choices!!!

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