The crucible of prophecy in Damascus by Bill Wilson

Israel is currently defending the Golan Heights from Iran's hostile bases in Syria by launching very precise missile strikes. The presence of Turkey, Iran, al Qaeda, the Muslim Brotherhood, Islamic State, Hezbollah, Hamas and other enemies of God and of Israel in the Syrian theatre has many wondering about the Isaiah 17 prophecy about the destruction of Damascus. There is much speculation about whether we are now entering into the end time scenario written so much about by the prophets in the Bible. Certainly, the crucible of prophecy is being stirred and heated, but we must pay close attention to the actual words and context of the prophets to discern current events.

 

According to the prophet Isaiah, 17:1, "The burden of Damascus. Behold, Damascus is taken away from being a city, and it shall be a ruinous heap." Many point to this verse to speculate when and how Damascus will be destroyed. If we study the context of the prophecy, Chapter 10 begins with prophesying judgment on Assyria and Ephraim (one of the tribes of Israel) for attacking Israel. Damascus is named as one of the Assyrian's vassals. Damascus also is included in end time judgment accounts of Egypt, Babylon, Moab, Assyria, Ethiopia, Tyre, Philistia and others. This demonstrates the near and the far of prophesy. Some of this was fulfilled historically; other parts of it are yet to be fulfilled.

 

There has been a lot of talk that this is the time that perhaps Isaiah's prophecy will be fulfilled. Damascus, after all, is hardly a city nowadays. It is maintaining a heartbeat after years of civil war and fighting that includes various al Qaeda terrorist groups, Hezbollah from Iran, Russian interests, American interests, Turkey, the Islamic State, and, of course the Assad government. The ingredients are there for the total destruction of Damascus. Damascus may be devastated by this massive gathering of many forces, but it is not the total destruction prophesied by Isaiah. As with most prophecy, it often appears to be fulfilled, but in types and shadows, layers, and signs before it is ultimately fulfilled.

 

The context of Isaiah 17 is judgment on nations that come against Israel, beginning in Chapter 9 and continuing through Chapter 24. The phrase "In/At that day" is mentioned no less than four times in Isaiah 17, a short chapter of 14 verses. This phrase is an indicator for the Day of the Lord, meaning when the Lord returns to judge the nations that came against Israel. Verse 7 says, "At that day shall a man look to his Maker, and his eyes shall have respect to the Holy One of Israel." Verse 11 speaks that the harvest shall be a day of grief and of desperate sorrow. Context is key. It's irresponsible to take just one verse and develop a scenario or doctrine around it. In Syria, we are seeing prophetic movement, but we will know when God fulfills the prophecy. It will be clear.

Have a Blessed and Powerful Day!

Beware of communists in political party clothing by Bill Wilson

The Democratic Party is housing communists and passing them off as progressives-a word used to gain general public approval of communistic ideals. Failed presidential candidate Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) is one such individual. He is introducing a federal jobs proposal that would guarantee every adult American a $15-an-hour job with health benefits. The Hill reports that two additional Democratic Party presidential hopefuls, Senators Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) and Cory Booker (D-NJ) have expressed support for similar proposals. Our economy, religion, speech--pretty much the entire Bill of Rights--are threatened by sweet sounding proposals laid as snares to liberty, baited by emotional self-righteousness.

 

With guaranteed government jobs and mandatory healthcare the government would have control over the financial and physical lives of every individual in the nation. This is where the guarantees of free speech and freedom of religion come into play. Jesus said in Luke 4:18,19, "The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because He hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, to preach the acceptable year of the Lord." He commissioned us to make disciples and to carry on his mission. The fundamental mission of government is far different than that of church.

 

From a Christian worldview, it is Christ's people, not a centralized government, that must minister to the poor, and provide healing, restoration, comfort and vigilance over Liberty. The earliest account of American history provided by Mayflower leader William Bradford indicates that the ability to worship freely was the central theme of the Pilgrims. And in that, he writes, "We are knit together as a body in a most strict and sacred bond and covenant of the Lord, of the violation whereof we make great conscience, and by virtue whereof we hold ourselves straightly tied to all care of each other's good." And they proved this when they were dying sometimes two or three per day in their care for one another's health.

 

When the Pilgrims were starving while trying to grow food communally, Bradford gave them their own land to till, which turned the colony around. He says, "The failure of this experiment of communal service, which was tried for several years, and by good and honest men proves the emptiness of the theory of Plato and other ancients, applauded by some of later times--that the taking away of private property, and the possession of it in community, by a commonwealth, would make a state happy and flourishing; as if they were wiser than God....community property was found to breed much confusion and discontent, and retard much employment which would have been to the general benefit and comfort." Beware of communists in political party clothing lest we repeat this disastrous example.

Have a Blessed and Powerful Day!

Prophetic Word by Debra Lowe

 I hear your cry My children, those who desire to be holy.  I Am requiring more from you, and as I require more from you, I will give more to you.  A special anointing shall rest upon you as you desire more holiness from within, I shall anoint you fresh and you will be fully graced to do it.  You will out run those weak areas in the past says the Spirit of grace and mercy and you will stand strong and bold.  You will represent me well, as I place upon you insight and wisdom, insight and wisdom beyond what you have acquired before this season.  

     Yes, I hear the Lord saying, great wisdom shall come in these hours, but there shall be a requirement says the Lord for that wisdom.  You are required to walk out that wisdom that I Am giving you in these final hours and it shall confound the wisdom of this world.  It shall not be like the usual church wisdom, you are walking into the realm of hearing and doing as I speak.  You are about to break some boundaries, you are about to break some things that have been the norm.  I have placed a special anointing upon you and with that wisdom shall come the ability to accomplish that work that I have required for you to do.  I have helped you to have a desire to please Me, a hunger to please Me, a passion to be righteous, a longing to be holy and that can only come from Me.  I have brought you to this moment in these final hours, yes it is the final hour, look around and understand and discern the season, many are falling away, but you still stand, and staying whole, staying strong and staying holy, know that you shall bear much fruit in the days and times that are ahead says the Lord.  I require from you in this season to be bold, strong and to not back down, to hold steady to My word, and to speak the word for many lives are dependent upon you speaking truth into their lives says the Lord.  If you hold back says the Lord many souls will be lost because you did not speak truth into that atmosphere.  I have anointed you to be bold and strong and not look at men's faces for this is the requirement that I have, do not fear men faces.  It is a requirement of holiness, not only to speak holy, but to be holy, to live a life that is pleasing unto Me.  Separate from this world's system and all that is defiled.  I anointed John the Baptist and he went into the wilderness to seek My face and there was a special anointing upon his life that separated him from the world and the things of this world.  So there is a special anointing right now that I Am pouring upon My people to separate them from this world and the things of this world, so that when you speak many shall have ears to hear that would not have heard before.  Many shall be astounded by the words that come from your mouth in power.  They will even recognize that it is not you, but they will recognize that you have been with Me says the Lord.  So I am saying this is the time to come away with Me, come away to the wilderness where you will hear me, and the things that you say will be sharp and cutting words to divide between the pure and the defiled, but at the same time they will be healing words, they will be redeeming and restoring words for all who will hear with their spirit ears.  For too long you have cared about how you have said what My word says, for too long you have cared about who you have hurt with My truth, so you have watered My word down and made it ineffective to those I have sent you to.  I say unto you, truth will hurt and it will separate, but for those who are willing and who want to be saved, redeemed and restored, they will hearken to the words that you say.  Many will fall but it is better that they heard the truth by the words that you speak, rather than falling by fabled words.  So I say to you, be bold, be strong and allow that anointing to make you a vessel fit for My service.  We have been waiting on you.  Do you not understand that all creation have been moaning and groaning and travailing waiting for you, My children.  The sons and the daughters of the most high God with My words in their heart and on their lips and doing exactly what I say, when I say.  This is the time and the season!

 

     "For [even the whole] creation [all nature] waits eagerly for the children of God to be revealed." (Rom. 8:19)

     “So come out from among unbelievers and be separate,” says the Lord, “And do not touch what is unclean; And I will graciously receive you and welcome you [with favor]" (2 Corin. 6:17)

     "A highway will be there, and a roadway; And it will be called the Holy Way.  The unclean will not travel on it, But it will be for those who walk on the way [the redeemed]; And fools will not wander on it." (Is.35:8)

     "preach the word [as an official messenger]; be ready when the time is right and even when it is not [keep your sense of urgency, whether the opportunity seems favorable or unfavorable, whether convenient or inconvenient, whether welcome or unwelcome]; correct [those who err in doctrine or behavior], warn [those who sin], exhort and encourage [those who are growing toward spiritual maturity], with inexhaustible patience and [faithful] teaching.  For the time will come when people will not tolerate sound doctrine and accurate instruction [that challenges them with God’s truth];" (2 Tim. 4:2-3a) 

 

Love,

Eating lentils regularly could prevent the need for several medications: They nourish blood vessels and improve blood flow, pressure, circulation

(Natural News) According to a study, lentils can help significantly reduce “dangerous blood pressure levels.”

Additionally, new data also showed that lentils could reverse deteriorating blood vessel health.

The researchers explained that the study, which was conducted on rats, proved that consuming the health-boosting food regularly can effectively prevent the increase in blood pressure which occurs as we grow older.

Based on the findings, eating lentils can also reverse the changes that occur in blood vessels due to high blood pressure.

Dr. Peter Zahradka from the University of Manitoba, the lead investigator for the Canadian study, explained that this is good news because lentils are a “non-pharmacological way of treating diseases associated with blood vessel dysfunction.”

The findings are a continuation of two earlier studies. The first was a clinical trial that showed how eating legumes – particularly a combination of beans, chickpeas, lentils, and peas – could boost blood flow to the legs of patients diagnosed with peripheral artery disease. This condition is connected to coronary heart disease and cerebrovascular disease.

The second study found that lentils could effectively block high blood pressure. (Related: Probiotics for your heart: Eat yogurt twice a week to reduce risk of heart attack in those with high blood pressure by up to 30%.)

Dr. Zahradka added that the most notable finding of the recent study illustrated how lentils could change the physical properties of blood vessels to make them resemble the vessels found in healthy animals. However, human studies are required to confirm these findings.

Dr. Julianne Curran, Pulse Canada’s director of nutrition, scientific, and regulatory affairs, concluded that lentils could be part of a simple, cost-effective dietary strategy that can help address cardiovascular disease. Pulse Canada is the national association that represents the growers, processors, and traders of Canada’s pulse crops.

In 2012, a study from the University of Toronto, led by Dr. David Jenkins, discovered that eating more pulses (e.g., beans, chickpeas, and lentils) helped lower the risk of heart disease by managing a patient’s blood sugar levels.

Foods that can help fight high blood pressure

If you or someone you love has high blood pressure, eat more of the foods below:

• Bananas – This fruit contains potassium, and fresh produce is a better source of potassium than supplements.
• Beets – Beets are full of nitric oxide that can help open the blood vessels and lower blood pressure. You can make juice from beets, or you can cook and eat the whole root.
• Berries – Blueberries are rich in natural compounds called flavonoids. These compounds can help prevent hypertension and lower blood pressure. Other sources of flavonoids include raspberries and strawberries.
• Dark chocolate – This healthy treat is linked to a lower risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD). Eat at least 100 grams of dark chocolate daily to help lower your risk of CVD.
• Garlic – Garlic can help minimize hypertension by increasing the amount of nitric oxide in the body.
• Herbs – Herbs are a healthy substitute for salt if you love eating flavorful dishes. Sources include basil, cinnamon, rosemary, and thyme.
• Olive oil – Olive oil is a healthy fat, and it is rich in polyphenols, the inflammation-fighting compounds that can help lower blood pressure. Additionally, this healthy fat is an excellent alternative to butter, canola oil, or commercial salad dressing.
• Pomegranates – According to a study, consuming a cup of pomegranate juice once a day for at least four weeks can help lower blood pressure. However, before you buy pomegranate juice check the packaging. Added sugars can negate the health benefits of pomegranate juice.
• Leafy greens – Leafy greens are another great source of potassium which helps the kidneys eliminate more sodium through urine. This then lowers your blood pressure. Sources include arugula, beet greens, collard greens, kale, romaine lettuce, spinach, Swiss chard, and turnip greens.

I Am a Righteous Judge By Glynda Lomax

 

   Many who are called by My Name do not really know Me. Their belief in Me is very small and will not sustain them in what is coming. They worship an image in their mind of who (they think) I should be, and it is not who I am.

   I am the mighty Jehovah who led My people Israel through the desert sands and saved them from Pharaoh’s army. I am the mighty Jehovah who defeated their enemies as they took the land I promised to them and their fathers. I am the great God who created all you see, and who will in the end also destroy it for the sin that has come upon your world.

   I am a loving God – I am Jesus who bled and died for the sins of the world so long ago, but I am also a righteous judge as My Word declares. I am also He who sits on the throne whose foundations are justice as well as mercy (by offering us righteousness) and these who do not really know Me do not believe in My Justice.

   I have given much time and space for the nations to repent of their sins, of not spending time with Me or giving Me the worship due My Holy Name, but that time is quickly running out. Darkness is approaching and the time of the end is upon all peoples.

   Know Me now. Know Me as the God of all Mercy, yes, but also know Me as the Righteous Judge of all the Earth for soon it is My Judgment you will see all around you.

Revelation 21:1 

• 1 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.

Ezekiel 36:23

• 23 And I will sanctify my great name, which was profaned among the heathen, which ye have profaned in the midst of them; and the heathen shall know that I am the Lord, saith the Lord God, when I shall be sanctified in you before their eyes.

Psalm 89:14 

• 14 Justice and judgment are the habitation of thy throne: mercy and truth shall go before thy face.

Watching and Warning by Christine Beadsworth

I have noticed a definite shift in what the Lord is showing me in my dreams. For many years, my focus has been the preparation of the Bride, but since the beginning of the year 5778, I have received a considerable number of warning dreams. Some show great disaster unfolding by the hand of man, such as the nuclear explosion over an American city. Others have depicted natural disasters to come. With these dreams comes a sense of responsibility to release a warning, so that other saints may pray and get further revelation, in order to be fully prepared and know what the Lord would have them do. I do not find it comfortable receiving or sharing these words but who are we to decide what God must reveal to us. We are entering days unlike any other and my heart breaks at the thought that much of the Church is woefully unprepared both spiritually and naturally for what is at the door. With this said, I had a strange dream on 12th April in the morning watch. I do not yet have full understanding of all the elements of the dream, but this morning I had such a sense of urgency to release what I have and trust the Lord to speak by His Spirit to others who are able to add understanding. Please feel free to write to me if the Lord shows you anything further about the elements of the scene I saw unfolding. In the dream, I walked outside, followed by someone else, and it wasnight. There were no stars but a huge full moon had just risen over the horizon on the right (east). In front of it, I saw a large number of tiny red pin lights, almost like fireflies, clumped together, but they were not on my level, but high up, close to the moon. Then in the blink of an eye, they changed formation to form the outlines of a house, and while I was staring at this, they again swiftly changed into another formation before disappearing from view. Then I said to myself, "Is that really the moon?" and I saw thousands of black flapping wings moving away from the moon towards the left of the dark sky (westwards). I thought initially they were bats, but then I looked up straight above my head at the expanse of dark sky, and I saw dark angels with huge wings flying head to toe across the whole expanse of the sky. There was not one inch of the sky that was visible. It almost looked like a bumpy dark storm cloud situated low overhead. I knew these were the same beings that had looked like red lights before and I was witnessing a huge release of dark angels. Then someone behind me said, "It's Jupiter's birthday/ birth day" and I woke up. In the dream, it seemed like what I witnessed was a release of troops from the kingdom of darkness, which may be connected to the unfolding war in the Middle East and prophetic end-time events occurring at this time. The number of demonic angels was beyond counting and very disturbing to behold, as I knew they were on specific assignment under satan’s orders. When I woke, the scripture in Zech 5:9-11 came to mind about the angels with big wings that carry the vessel containing the woman called wickedness to Shinar (Babylonia) to build it a house. Shinar is the place where Nimrod built his first cities. Zec 5:5  Then the angel who was speaking with me went out, and said to me, Now lift up your eyes and see what this is that goes forth. Zec 5:6  And I said, What is it? And he said, This is the ephah that goes forth. And he said, This is their form in all the earth. Zec 5:7  And, behold, a lead cover was lifted up, and a woman was sitting in the middle of the ephah. Zec 5:8  And he said, This is wickedness. And he threw her into the midst of the ephah; and he threw the lead stone over its opening. Zec 5:9  And I lifted up my eyes and looked. And, behold, two women came out. And the wind was in their wings; for they had wings like the wings of the stork. And they lifted up the ephah between the earth and the heavens. Zec 5:10  And I said to the angel who was speaking with me, Where are they going with the ephah? Zec 5:11  And he said to me, To build a house for it in the land of Shinar; and it shall be made ready and placed there on its own place.  Nimrod was a mighty hunter against the Lord and was responsible for the building of the tower of Babel and the above scripture speaking of building a house for this woman called ‘wickedness’ in Shinar brings to mind those red lights making the formation of a house in front of the full moon. There are many who say that America isthe modern-day Babylon and so the building of this ‘house’ may speak of the setting up of a seat for the antichrist to rule from, along with great wickedness being released in the earth. Google tells me Jupiter was the Roman sky god whose symbol is a lightning bolt; his equivalent being Zeus among the Greeks. One of his most ancient epithets isLucetius (“Light-Bringer”), obviously connecting to Lucifer.  The scripture about satan falling like lightening from heaven came to mind  when I read about the lightning bolt symbol and I suspect the mention of Jupiter’s birthday may refer to the unveiling or bringing into open view of the antichrist, accompanied by a huge release of dark angels. The stork is a bird associated with birthing in folklore and the ones carrying the ephah to Shinah had wings like a stork. Notice also in the following scripture that the dragon and his angels fought in the heavens before being cast down to earth. Rev 12:7  Then war broke out in heaven; Michael and his angels went forth to battle with the dragon, and the dragon and his angels fought. Rev 12:8  But they were defeated, and there was no room found for them in heaven any longer. Rev 12:9  And the huge dragon was cast down and out--that age-old serpent, who is called the Devil and Satan, he who is the seducer (deceiver) of all humanity the world over; he was forced out and down to the earth, and his angels were flung out along with him. Satan was forced down to earth and his angels along with him. No doubt this is the time when he fully inhabits the man waiting in the shadows for hisendtime role as antichrist, and terrible persecution breaks out against believers (Rev 12:17). Thankfully the woman who has brought forth the manchild is carried by the wings of a giant eagle to a place of protection during the 3&1/2 year rampage of the dragon. The mention of Jupiter’s birthday has puzzled me since I had the dream because I wasn’t quite clear what the Lord was showing me. On September 23rd last year, the Revelation 12 sign appeared in the sky and Jupiter, which had been in the womb of the constellation Virgo for the length of a pregnancy, emerged from that place in the depiction of a birthing. This was interpreted by many in church circles as the depiction of the manchild coming forth in Revelation 12 and the accompanying release of kingly anointing as Jupiter is known as the king planet. Apparently the same constellation was in the sky in 2BC when the wise men began their journey to see Jesus. Satan is the master counterfeiter and so it makes sense to me that he would also desire to use the appearance of a similar constellation to announce his imminent coming forth. In that scenario, the Rev 12 sign on Sept 23rd was announcing the coming of the antichrist in the year to follow. But why was the Lord showing me in my dream of the 12th April that it was Jupiter’s birthday when these dark angels were released? It didn’t make sense to me to depict something that happened 7 months ago. So I decided to investigate the timing of what I had witnessed.

From what I could find out on Stellarium, Jupiter is close to the rising full moon on April 29/30 2018, and they are in the constellation Libra, the scales, which speaks of judgment and justice. In the dream, I was personally viewing the moon and as I am in Cape Town, South Africa, I assume what I saw was from that vantage point.  As I came out of the building I saw the moon to my right rising in the east. At this time, Jupiter would appear very close, if not almost at one with the moon from where I stood. Could the red lights I saw be connected with the planet Jupiter in the same region of the night sky as the moon? I decided to investigate the dates around the coming full moon which was in my dream and was disturbed by what I found. April 19 to May 1 is the Blood Sacrifice to the Beast for those who worship satan. Fire sacrifice is required on April 19. Then April 30 to May 1 is Beltaine Festival, also called Walpurgis Night, two of the most important occult periods in the calendar year. (No wonder I saw the release of countless thousands of dark angels on this night) This is the time of year when they believe Ba’al or Bel was killed and sent into the underworld, to be resurrected by hislover sister, Anat. Remember Baal is also known as Jupiter or Zeus! May 1 is the Illuminati's second most sacred holiday, during which human sacrifice is required. It was on the night of April 30th through to May 1st 1776 that the Illuminati was founded. So the scenario depicted in my dream occurs on a sacred day for the occult world. Many have speculated that the recent air strikes in Syria mark the beginning of WWIII. The ultimate goal of this war is to usher in the New World Order with the antichrist as the ruler of the world. According to former Illuminati satanist, Doc Marquis, once World War III begins the antichrist will arise on the world scene in 13 weeks (91 days). THere are 13 weeks from Friday 13th April to Friday 13th July, and this is the fist day of the month of Av, the month when both temples were destroyed and Jerusalem was ravaged by the enemy. On the 19th April 2016, the Institute for Digital Archaeology (IDA), with Mayor of London Boris Johnson, unveiled their replica of the Triumphal Arch at Palmyra in Trafalgar Square. The 19th April is first day of Feast to the Beast celebrated by all who worship satan. This arch is actually the gateway to the temple of Baal/Jupiter and so the erection of the replica in various chosen cities worldwide has been a definite strategic mapping and preparation for people of the world to enter in and worship the antichrist, who is soon to appear, bringing ‘peace’ after the orchestrated chaos of those working to bring in the new world order. How interesting that the original arch and temple complex is in Syria, the very nation embroiled in the first stages of what I believe to be WWIII. Of course, there are no coincidences with Illuminati planning. There is far more going on that what meets the eye. Saints, although I still don't feel I have full understanding concerning the reference to Jupiter's birthday in the dream, the last two weeks of this month of April are still definitely a time to be on heightened alertness, praying much and seeking the Lord’s face. There is coming a huge unleashing of dark angels along with much wickedness in the season we are entering. Seek the Lord for angelic protection for your loved ones and pray for the saints in the Middle East. Get oil for your lamps. Selah     Fresh oil Releases website
