ZECHARIAH 14:16-19…..JOHN 7:37,38


ZECHARIAH 14:16-19

Zekaryah Ha Navi (Zechariah the Prophet) is seeing into the future, during the millennial reign of Yeshua HaMelech (Yeshua the King) who is now on earth and reigns over all nations. A reign of peace has now begun and all will rejoice in this period of “shalom”.

All the nations of the earth will go up to Yerushalayim to worship King Yeshua and to celebrate the Festival of Sukkot. It says that if “anyone of the clans (or families) of the earth does not come up to Yerushalayim to bow down and worship the King, then on them there will be no rain”

But what exactly does this mean, we might ask? Does this mean that every person in every nation of the world will have to leave home and go up to Yerushalayim to celebrate Sukkot and worship Yeshua? If this were the case, how would so many people fit inside Yerushalayim? You can only get so many people inside a city. What would the population of the world be after the tribulation, perhaps with half of the world’s population dead through the plagues and wrath of Adonai, there would probably still be perhaps quite a few billion inhabitants of the earth, so, how would they all fit?

Now, this is just my idea, my idea only. Perhaps, just perhaps the families of the nations’ leaders would be required to go up to celebrate Sukkot and worship Yeshua. These families would represent all the families of said nations, and any nation that does not send representatives, well, that nation would not receive rain in due season. This would make more sense than every family on earth going up to Jerusalem.

The other thought would be that Jerusalem would be a lot larger than it is now, being a renewed earth during the millennial reign of Yeshua, but still, fitting in ALL of Earth's families would still be far-fetched. One can only suppose what will happen. Well, my thoughts only.

JOHN 7:37-38


These verses are fitting for this time of Sukkot, which tell about Yeshua being at the Temple during this time. These were his words:

“And on the last day of the great festival (meaning “Shemini Atzeret, the 8th day) Yeshua stood and cried out saying; “If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and let him who believes in Me drink. As the scripture says: out of His innermost shall flow rivers of living water.”

Yeshua was referring to Isaiah 12:3 “With joy ye shall draw water out of the wells of SALVATION (Yeshuah)

He said those words at the time that the priests were pouring out water which they carried from the Pool of Siloam, at the base of the altar. Today, in Sukkot ceremonies, we pour out both water and wine, symbolizing the pouring out of Yeshua’s blood which was mixed with water, when the Roman soldier pierced his side with a spear.

Yeshua, therefore, has the title “Mayim Chayim” (Living Water) Water gives and maintains life, and it is symbolically pointing to the pouring out of the Ruach HaKodesh (The Holy Spirit) at the time of Shavuot or “Pentecost.”

Drinking water will sustain us with physical life, yet the Holy Spirit will sustain us with spiritual life and fellowship. The Hebrew letter “M” (Mem) symbolizes water. The number value of “Mem” is 40. “4” is the physical earth, and we know that water is found in all 4 corners of the earth, and the Holy Spirit is also present in believers in all 4 corners of the earth as well. Verse 39 explains exactly that. That He was referring to the Holy Spirit which believers would receive soon. (50 days after his death).

After this, John says that many believed on Him, yet others did not, and some were confused. The same is today. Many believe on Yeshua, and many do not. Many will still follow the ways of the world and follow HaSatan. Bad choice! So, choose life, choose to drink the “Living Water” and live forever.

I have heard people say that all of the people alive today on the earth could fit in New York City. I have heard ministers say that yes, everyone would fit.

Maybe someone else can recall other stats I have heard like if you gave everyone a nice sized apartment,  they would fit in....

So, don't believe the world's leaders and billionaires like Bill Gates that say the world is overpopulated now and that population needs to be reduced through abortion and vaccines.

Yes. Thank you for making this clear.

"Then all the survivors from all the nations that attacked Jerusalem will go up from year to year to worship the King, Ad-nai Tzva’ot, and to celebrate Sukkot."- Zechariah 14:16, Tree of Life Version

    • You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • George Whitten, the visionary behind Worthy Ministries and Worthy News, explores the timing of the Simchat Torah War in Israel. Is this a water-breaking moment? Does the timing of the conflict on October 7 with Hamas signify something more significant on the horizon?

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
