16 Feast Verses in the Book of John

Monday, February 11th, 2013

The Feasts are all about Love:

(2) John 4:45 Then when he was come into Galilee, the Galilaeans received him, having seen all the things that he did at Jerusalem at the feast 1859: for they also went unto the feast 1859.

Truth Street

Monday, February 11th, 2013

The Russians continue to acquire gold so they won’t be helpless if the American Dollar collapses.  Putin said, “The more gold a country has, the more sovereignty it will have if there’s a cataclysm with the dollar, the euro, the pound or any other reserve currency,”

They keep their gold on Truth Street, an appropriate name::

High Spiritual Activity

Saturday, February 9th, 2013

The last few weeks have been notable in the level of Spiritual activity.  One of the indications is the fact that Our Heavenly Father has been waking me up very early.  As background, at the end of 1989 the leasing manager of the office building my company was in asked me to join a group of men for early prayer time… 6AM.  This would necessitate me awakening at 5AM.  I was a 7 o’clock kind of guy at that time.  Our Heavenly Father changed that.  HE told me HE wanted me to start praying an hour before work each day.  My response, “If YOU want me to do that, YOU will have to wake me up.”  No problem.  Each morning HE woke me up at 5 minutes before 5AM, without fail.  This occurred for 10 years, 1990-2000.  It then ended.

The early mornings have started again, as early as 3AM, 3:30AM, 4AM, 4:30AM, 5AM, or 5:30AM.  This morning the clock indicated 5:32AM (the Paschal Lamb cycle of 7X76, the number of cleansing, also the house number where I grew up).  Each morning Our Heavenly Father would have me focus on something that required my undivided attention.  Some mornings to read, some mornings to pray, some mornings to write a blog, and some mornings to just listen.  Yesterday on 2/8 the activity was high all day.

Lately, I have purposely focused on the “here and now” rather than the prophetic.  It started when Our Heavenly Father spoke to me in August of 2011 and told me “Now is the time”.  I wrote 10 blogs on the topic in September of 2011.  Is this tied to Isaiah 9:10, the central Scripture of the book “The Harbinger”?

I have purposely minimized buying books to read in the last few years.  My focus had been on Love and I did not want any distractions.  In December, I completed seven years of studying Our Heavenly Father’s most primary characteristic- Love.  In the meantime this “GOD is Love” Conference has been called and we are led to go.  It begins on 2/16.  In HIS typical manner, Our Heavenly Father has begun some type of preparation.  I believe this Spiritual activity is related.  What will be the result?  As usual, I have no idea.  What is my hope?  I long for some manifestation, change, empowerment, revelation, etc. to occur as a result of this trip.  We all do.

Our Heavenly Father moved upon me to buy the book “The Harbinger” by the man who led the prayer in Washington D.C., I posted the Youtube recording of his prayer.  I finished it this morning.  The book is a witness of what Our Heavenly Father has been showing me for a number of years about our country.  I had actually been to the top of the World Trade Center in the 1990’s as part of walking out my calling in the financial arena.  I knew that on 9/11 that the nation’s covering had been lifted and we should be repenting rather than speaking words of defiance.  The book confirms that point.  I knew that the financial economy would come under judgment, just as the book made the point.  I further expect a greater judgment to occur as the country continues to remove Our Heavenly Father from its midst.  Friday, 9/11/2015 (27th or Elul), is the last business day before the 29th of Elul, 7 years after the last Wall Street Dow meltdown of 777 points in one day.  That is one day I would consider in one’s financial planning.  Read the book.

What is the solution?  The Baptism of Love.

We were running some errands at lunch yesterday and I was telling Pam about the 9 harbingers mentioned in the book.  At lunch I was reflecting on that fact that it had been sixteen years since the first Tabernacles I attended.  I also mentioned meeting Sunny Day.  Yep, that is her name.  I hadn’t talked to Sunny since March when she had called one of her prophetic meetings.  We get back from lunch and who calls?  Sunny.  She was planning a meeting for 2/16 but Our Heavenly Father led her to cancel it.  Suddenly the sixteen year connection is being formed back to the 1996 Tabernacles meeting in Minneapolis.

One hour later, Pam gets a call from an auto dealer.  “We are calling about your car being serviced.”  Pam inquired about what car, since both of ours were here at our house.  “Your Infinity 256”.  She told the caller that we don’t own one.  Struck by the word “Infinity”, she mentioned the call to me as I was working out on the treadmill.  After Sunny’s prophetic call, this unexpected call demanded our focus.  “What do you make of this Infinity 256?”  We “mathematicians” always see 256 as 2 to the 8th power: 2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2.   “Honey, that’s infinity, 2 to the 8th power… 16, Love.  On 2/8, we get a call about infinite Love?  The conference is in 8 days?

Is Our Heavenly Father telling us something?  I trust that HE is.

Was there something significant about Tabernacles 1996?  Yes, that was the first conference I attended and Stephen Jones had unexpectedly ask me to speak.   What did I speak on?  The Book of Esther.  I had been in an intense study of the book.

The greatest expression of Love is to sacrifice yourself for others.  That is exactly was Esther did.  Sunny Day had made such a point about tying me to Esther ever since that meeting.  Once again, she mentioned it last year in a meeting.

Is this conference tied to the Book of Esther?

Esther 2:7  And he brought up Hadassah, that [is], Esther, his uncle’s daughter: for she had neither father nor mother, and the maid [was] fair and beautiful; whom Mordecai, when her father and mother were dead, took for his own daughter.

Esther’s “hidden” name is Hadassah.  Hadassah means “Myrtle” (Strong’s #1919).  There must be a tie to the conference being held in the Myrtle Beach area.

Is there a link between 2/8 and 2:8 of Esther?

Esther 2:8  “So it came to pass, when the king’s commandment and his decree was heard, and when many maidens were gathered together unto Shushan the palace, to the custody of Hegai, that Esther was brought also unto the king’s house, to the custody of Hegai, keeper of the women.”

Esther was being brought to the King’s Palace in preparation of going before the King.

Is there a link between 2/16 and 2:16?

Esther 2:16  “So Esther was taken unto king Ahasuerus into his house royal in the tenth month, which [is] the month Tebeth, in the seventh year of his reign.”

Hmmm!  Seven years.  Esther is now going before the King, initiating the act of Love to save her people.

Clearly, there is a focus on this conference.  No matter what befalls the U.S., Our Heavenly Father will have raised up a remnant to lead the nation through the calamity.  The remnant will Divine Intent backing it and the Divine Intent has at its foundation, Love.

The Days Ahead

Friday, February 8th, 2013

Next week a group of us will converge in the Myrtle Beach area for a “GOD is Love” conference.  This will begin on February 16th (16 is Love in Scripture).  We will be leaving for the conference early and staying a few days after its end.  The myrtle tree is mentioned six times in Scripture.  The one verse that specifically stands out to me is:

Zechariah 1:11   So they answered the Angel of the LORD, who stood among the myrtle trees, and said, “We have walked to and fro throughout the earth, and behold, all the earth is resting quietly.”

Anytime I see 111, 1111, or 11111, I pay close attention.  In the late 1990’s I was beavering away, writing a software program on a sunny Friday afternoon.  My focus was undivided and on this program I was writing.  Suddenly, the anointing of Our Heavenly Father came upon me.  HE immediately said, “Turn around and look at the clock.”  When I turned around, the clock’s hands were precisely at 1:11:11.  HE then said,”I bring my anointing at very specific times.”  That was it.  For years I have always paid close attention when I see these numbers.  Yes, many were not relevant but some were.  I have yet to see the fullness of the 11111 but expect to see it at some point.

Will we see an angel of the LORD at this conference?  Only Our Heavenly Father knows.  Do I expect something noteworthy to occur?  Yes, or I would not have booked the flights and hotel.

What might happen when a group of people in one accord get together to focus on the most primary aspect of the character of Our Heavenly Father?  I know what happened in Acts 2 when a group of people were focused on the arrival of the Comforter. 

The myrtle tree is also mentioned in an invitation to an abundant life in Isaiah 55:

13 ​​Instead of the thorn shall come up the cypress tree,

​​And instead of the brier shall come up the myrtle tree;

​​And it shall be to the LORD for a name,

​​For an everlasting sign that shall not be cut off.”

 

My responsibility is to be obedient and show up.  Our Heavenly Father will surely be smiling as we assemble!

20 Million Vacant Homes

Thursday, February 7th, 2013

The banks are holding assets that are in a declining valuation and they have been given a deferral on reconciling their assets values.  Instead of valuing this inventory at market value, they have maintained the value at these houses at their original cost.  If they were to immediately sell off these non-earning assets, the banks would be insolvent.

Unlike the 1980’s when the S&L crisis forced a cleansing of the banking system, the current central planners want to keep the status quo.  They are repressing interest rates to keep the current banking system in place.  The rigging of these rates help the banks, not the soon-to-retire baby boomers.

This excess inventory would normally force prices down in the real estate industry but the central planners know that if prices drop, the economy will suffer even more than it currently is.  The economy is teetering on the second half of the “Great Recession”.  If the numbers were being reported properly, the public would realize that we are already in the 2nd dip.  The “perception” game is in full swing.

The current system will ultimately be replaced with a “righteous” system designed by Our Heavenly Father.  It will be one of equal weights and measures.  Wisdom from Above will be used to build the infrastructure.  Anointed men and women will be called to oversee the system and defend its viability.  They are being prepared now.  They will understand and embrace Divine Intent and walk in Love.  They will be motivated by Love to insure fairness and equity in the system.  The current lawlessness will be exposed and removed.  No longer will mankind be enslaved by Mystery Babylon.  The system will be cleansed of the fraud that has been perpetuated by those who are currently in control.  This will be one aspect of Thy Kingdom Come!

Power demands War

Wednesday, February 6th, 2013

Earthly power will always pursue war to sustain its lust for more power.  The European Union will ultimately look to war in order to maintain its rise to power.  “We will do whatever it takes to maintain the European Union.” is the rallying cry of the head of the EU Central Bank.  Economic data is getting worse among some of the countries and the worse is yet to come.

The U.S. has been in Afghanistan longer than both World Wars together.  Have we accomplished anything noteworthy?  The cost of lives, the wounded families, the tremendous resources, and the path of righteousness have all been major hits to America.  Our economy continues to spiral into deeper debt.  John Williams of shadowstats.com is convinced we will move into hyper-inflation soon.  He begins:

“U.S. Fiscal Circumstances Simply Are Not Sustainable

The 2012 fiscal condition of the United States suffered its worst annual deterioration in the history of the Republic.  Based on generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP-based accounting), the actual federal deficit hit a record $6.6 trillion in the year ended September 30, 2012, a level that was fully 42% of the nation’s annual GDP.”

It is imperative that we focus our attention of Our Heavenly Father, not the earthly wisdom that got us to this point.  HE will redeem us, not a bigger government handing out: a welfare check, a free cell phone with 300 monthly minutes, free internet, cash for clunkers, food stamps, section 8 housing, free contraceptives, Medicaid, ninety-nine weeks of unemployment, free medicine.

Man uses war to fix the symptoms of the problems when all he needs to do is look into the mirror.

Where is your faith?

Tuesday, February 5th, 2013

Do you have faith in blessing or cursing?  When Jesus walked the earth, the Jews were living in an occupied state.  Rome ruled the land.  However, that did not keep Jesus from the blessings from Above.  On the contrary, Jesus suffered no lack.  He produced sufficiency everywhere He went and the disciples never complained of the lack of resources except when they thought He could not feed the multitudes with their existing financial resources.  Jesus corrected that thinking.

Are you being double-minded?  Are you focused on impending disaster and calamity assuming that you will be swept up into chaos when economic disaster hits?  I have written many blogs about the potential economic chaos in the U.S. and around the globe.  I don’t write these to scare the reader or to feed on his negative orientation or to incite any rebellion.  I write these to prepare the brethren and to alert them of possible actions to take in preparation of economic change.  We should not be caught unaware of man’s attempt to control our future.

For example, the current system feeds us a steady diet of how powerful cancer is.  It is treated as though we have no chance to overcome the big “C” except by some pharmaceutical breakthrough.  If Jesus came face-to-face with a cancer patient, what would He do?  Would He “run for the Cure”?  Would He give to the American Cancer Society?  Nope!  He would heal the person by the power and authority given to Him by Our Heavenly Father.

A famine was coming during the time of Jacob and his sons.  It was about 20 years away when Our Heavenly Father gave Joseph a dream that began his preparation for the coming famine.  Joseph was not given the details of how his dream would come to fruition… fortunately.  Had he been told of what he would experience in the next thirteen years, he would have attempted to circumvent the training.

We do not have a ministry or calling of “doing nothing”.  When we focus on the coming calamity and fix our gaze on the bad news, we become unproductive.  Instead, we should use this time to hone our gifts and complete the preparations for our calling.  It should be as though we must complete a list of To Do’s before we take a long trip.  We must shed ourselves of any weight that would keep us from finishing the race.

We do not have a covenant to suffer.  There will be time we will suffer during our training but we have a covenant to be blessed.  Where your Love is, there you will be.  If you focus on suffering and lack, how do you expect to receive anything from Above.  Opportunity abounds everywhere.  Some of the largest companies in the world were not here forty years ago.  Imagine a company run with Love at its foundation and Wisdom from Above as its infrastructure, pillars to support its growth.

“Therefore submit to God.”  Surrender your old man, the flesh, the ego, and put it on the altar once an for all.  You will rid yourself of your double-mindedness.  What happens then?  You will walk with a “pure heart”:

James 4:8  “Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded.”

Matthew 5:8   ​​Blessed are the pure in heart, ​​For they shall see God.

Now is the time!  Set your gaze on Above!  Expect a covenant of Blessing!  You will then have sufficiency to minister life to others!

Erosion of Fiat Currency

Sunday, February 3rd, 2013

The value of your Dollars continue to decline.  Retailers are repackaging their products into smaller sizes or contents and charge the same amount for less.  That equates to inflation.

Gold is money.  Dollars are “notes” or derivatives of money.  Gold holds value and preserves purchasing power whereas Dollars are not retaining value.  Central planners know this and they continue their attempts to manipulate the price of gold using the paper market, a derivative market of hard assets.

When the price of gold rises, it is a warning sign to the market.  Planners know this and continue their intervention to moderate the rise of gold in terms of Dollars.  When the broad market finally responds to the manipulation and intervention, the price of gold will shoot up quickly.  Will it happen in 2013, 2014, 2015…?  Only Our Heavenly  Father knows.

Wealth is being created in Asia and thus gold is moving in the direction of wealth creation.  The Netherlands and Austria are now talking about bringing back their gold.  People want the physical asset, not just a claim.  This demand will continue to grow and accelerate as the debt of nations becomes larger and unsustainable.

The Bank of Japan has joined in to the notion of depreciating their fiat currency.  This is increasing “counterparty” risk of fiat currency.  Japan’s aging economy has been in negative territory for some time and they want to reinvigorate it.  Printing more money seems to be the easiest way to appear prosperous.  This is just another aspect of the currency war now in full swing.  Who can depreciate their currency faster?  They are doing this at great risk.

Given the fact that the average person cannot assess the risk of paper investments, gold appears to be the best protection against the coming volatility.

MOSES’ DAY OF GLORY

Saturday, February 2nd, 2013

Our Friends Kemper & Shari sent this:

Strong’s References:
Deut. 34:1

Moab, H4124 , of the Father
Nebo,  H5015  , prophet
Pisgah, H6449 , cleft
Jericho, H3405 , its moon
Gilead  ,  H1568  , rocky region
Dan , H1835 , a judge

Deut .34:2     

Nephtali, H5321 , wrestling

city , H5892 , 1) excitement, anguish
                             a) of terror
                      2) city
Zoar , H6820 , insignificance

Deut. 34:1
And Moses went up from the plains of Moab ( of the Father ) unto the mountain of Nebo ( prophet ), to the top of Pisgah ( cleft ) that is over against Jericho ( its moon ). And the Lord shewed him all the land of Gilead ( rocky region ), unto Dan ( a judge ).
Deut .34:2
And all Naphtali (  wrestling ), and the land of Ephraim (double ash-heap, I shall be doubly fruitful ), and Manasseh ( causing to forget ), and all the land of Judah ( praise ), unto the utmost sea.
Deut. 34:3
And the south, and the plain of the valley of Jericho ( its moon ), the city (excitement, anguish of terror ) of palm trees, unto Zoar ( insignificance ).

COMMENTARY:
When I saw that Pisgah meant cleft I reflected to what the Lord showed me concerning Ex 33:18-23.
"And he said I beseech thee, shew me thy glory. And He said I will make all my goodness pass before thee: and I will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and will
shew mercy on whom I will shew mercy. And He said, Thou canst not see my face; for there shall no man see me, and live. And the Lord said, Behold, there is a place by me, and thou shalt stand upon a rock; And it shall come to pass while my glory passeth by, that I will put thee in a cleft of the rock, and will cover thee with my hand while I pass by; And I will take away mine hand, and thou shalt see my back parts; but my face shall not be seen."

The Lord revealed to me that when He showed Moses His "back parts" He was giving him the revelation that the Lord spoke creation into existence, at least from Gen 1:1 to the creation of man. Before that, it wasn’t known. There might be an argument that God told Adam and he passed it down the generations, but there’s no evidence of that.

MOSES’ DAY OF GLORY

If you ask anyone to show their glory, they would speak of their past accomplishments. So the Lord revealed to him the glory of His past accomplishments.    Now concerning Moses’ last day: Just as the Lord showed Moses His back side, The Lord through scripture shows us Moses’ past glory. For he was of the Father and a great
Prophet of the cleft ( the revelation received from the cleft ) whose face is observing its moon, his house, his church. ( Heb, 3:5 “And Moses verily was faithful in all his
house…“). Then He shows Moses what his church is entering into, which is a  rocky region  that leads to a judge causing wrestling that leads to the church ending up as a  double ash heap. But fret not, for Isaiah 61:6,7 states:
"But ye shall be named the Priests of the Lord of our God; ye shall eat the riches of the Gentiles, and in their glory shall ye boast yourselves. For your shame ye shall have
double; and for confusion they shall rejoice in their portion; therefore in their land they shall possess the double; everlasting joy shall be unto them."
The church is divided into the two kingdoms which becomes the two ash heaps. Isaiah prophesies that for their shame the church will proclaim, "  I shall be doubly fruitful", causing to forget, extending praise unto the utmost sea,( Heb  7:25, “Where he is able to save them to the uttermost that come unto God…“)
This is awesome, for just as the Lord showed Moses His glory of His back parts, the Lord is now showing Moses His glory of His front parts ( His face ) and revealing to him the “restoration of all things”. For God’s mercy endures forever and He is able to save to the uttermost! In doing this, God completes the answer to Moses’ prayer “I beseech thee, show me thy glory” which took his breath from him, for no man can see His face and live. Deut. 34:7 says, Moses’ eye was not dim, nor his natural force abated. It’s the same with us, God’s glory kills the old man in us, removing its nature as he makes all things new with His glory. 1Cor 13:12,” For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face; now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.” Moses also sees in the southland of Jericho ( his church ) a city. This is a  city of excitement with anguish of terror of the palm trees ( representing tabernacles ) which is unto Zoar or insignificance .

Obadiah 18-21
"And the house of Jacob shall be a fire, and the house of Joseph a flame, and the house of Esau for stubble, and they shall kindle in them, and devour them; and there
shall not be any remaining of the house of Esau; for the Lord hath spoken it. And they of the south shall possess the mount of Esau; and they of the plain the Philistines; and they shall possess the fields of Ephraim, and the fields of Samaria; Benjamin shall possess Gilead. And the captivity of this host of the children of Israel shall possess that of the Canaanites, even unto Zarephath; and the captivity of Jerusalem, which is in MOSES’ DAY OF GLORY. Sepharad, shall possess the cities of the south. And saviors shall come up on mount Zion to judge the mount of Esau; and the kingdom shall be the Lord’s."

This might be the heap of ashes ( being insignificant ) leftover from the alter of our sanctification, after everything is purified, represented by Gehenna which is ‘south’ of Jerusalem, spoken of in Mark chapter 9. This becomes the end of all that is a lie, all things contrary to truth, including the strong delusion which cause the mind of the carnal man to be reprobate.

The Greatest Short Squeeze in the history of mankind

Friday, February 1st, 2013

A “Short Squeeze” is a rapid increase in the price of a stock, bond, or commodity asset that occurs when there is a lack of supply and an excess of demand for the asset.  Speculators “sell short” the asset using a derivative of that asset hoping to buy it back in the future at a lower price.  They are required to close out their position with an equal quantity of the asset they “short”.

The Germans are now demanding their physical gold in lieu of holding a paper claim provided by the U.S.  A problem occurs when the central banks lease out their gold into the market.  That gold is removed from storage and a piece of paper is put in its place, a claim.  Germany could physically reclaim all their gold in seven weeks but instead plans to take seven years.  Why?  I suspect their gold is not sitting in storage and the U.S. must buy it back from the market.  Oops!

Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez demanded Venezuela’s gold back and got it.  Other countries are doing the same.  China and Russia are quickly and quietly adding to their gold reserves.  In the meantime, the U.S. is expanding its money supply at breakneck speed.  Thus whatever gold we have left will ultimately be unable to sustain the value of the U.S. Dollar if the global financial system were to return to some form of a gold standard.  Other countries are moving toward a gold standard after having been given devaluing dollars as payment for their resources.

The paper claims against gold on a worldwide basis greatly exceed the actual known supply of gold.  The same holds true for silver.  Once holders of those paper claims demand the physical metal, the price will skyrocket and somebody will be left out in the cold.

You must ask yourself these two questions:

1.  Why does Germany want their gold back?

2.  Why does it take seven years to get their gold back?

The answers are obvious.
