Isaiah 41:
17 “The poor and needy seek water, but there is none,
Their tongues fail for thirst.
I, the LORD, will hear them;
I, the God of Israel, will not forsake them.
18 I will open rivers in desolate heights,
And fountains in the midst of the valleys;
I will make the wilderness a pool of water,
And the dry land springs of water.
19 I will plant in the wilderness the cedar and the acacia tree,
The myrtle and the oil tree;
I will set in the desert the cypress tree and the pine
And the box tree together,
20 That they may see and know,
And consider and understand together,
That the hand of the LORD has done this,
And the Holy One of Israel has created it. NKJV
In our Bible Study yesterday, my wife was describing a vision given to her by Our Heavenly Father when she read page 1 of Kemper’s book. However, we failed to fully explore its implications. Her discussion of this began 20 minutes into yesterday’s study. The vision revealed to her that “the wilderness” is our individual body. As we partake of HIS Word, HIS Living Water starts flowing through our veins. This Living Water makes it to our heart and begins to totally encompass our “arid” heart, changing it. Once changed, we begin to be fruitful. Our desert is no longer barren but will be productive by its new nature. It is Our Heavenly Father Who plants the trees to enable us to be fruitful. HE opens the rivers and fountains of Living Water. The desolate heights could be seen as our minds. The Remnant are the ones thirsting after HIM and HE responds by satisfying the thirst within us.
The cedar tree was used for purification. (wisdom)
The acacia tree was used to build the walls of the Tabernacle. (understanding)
The myrtle tree’s branches were used to “wave” during the Feast of Tabernacles.
The oil tree produced the oil for light. (revelation)
The cypress, pine, an box trees provided for the structure of the rest of the “House” of THE LORD:
Isaiah 60:13… “The cypress, the pine, and the box tree together, To beautify the place of My sanctuary”
As Pamela saw in her vision, “We are the wilderness being transformed” into a dwelling place for HIS use. HE is providing us wisdom, understanding, and a full revelation of Tabernacles as HE is building a dwelling place to reside… US!
