Blowing the trumpet in Zion

(January 12th 2008)

Dear brothers in Jesus Christ,

Jesus Christ knows that we are people who seek Him in humbleness and with a very deep and profound desire to live your lives in a pleasing way to Him. He also knows our weaknesses and that sometimes we don't live and act according to the way we should. Yet, never forget that Jesus Christ is always faithfull to us, even when we are not faithfull to Him, and His love for us and patience with us is something that goes beyond our understanding.

Our walk with Him, our process of santification in Him is a hard and complex process which is controled by Him while at the same time never takes away our free will. This means that this process is a combination of our free will and His direction, plan and timing. Jesus Christ knows how many of us would like to be better people in Him but sometimes we seem not to be able to reach that higher degree of sainthood in Him and we become frustrated. That is also part of the divine plan because all leaps forward happen according to His timing. This issue of Jesus Christ's timing is something very deep and complex but the Bible explains it very well that all things happen according to God's timing and our process of santification in Jesus Christ is a crucial part of God's divine timing.

The Bible also explains that this process of santification is intimately and deeply connected to judgement and very difficult times because it's through tribulation that God's people in Jesus Christ are perfected. This means that the coming judgements have not yet ocurred because of the elect. These judgements don't happen on the timing of terrorists or governments or just at random times. They happen on God's timing because they happen for a purpose. Genesis 50, 20 and the whole story of Joseph explains this very well for it explains how God brings good out of evil.

You have seen how years have gone by and very few shocking events have happened since 9/11. The only major events that happened since that day were the Iraq war, the December 2004 tsunami, the 2005 New Orleans flooding and the 2006 Lebanon war.

Surely there have been other important events like the Gaza Pullout - deeply connected to the New Orleans flooding - and the Madrid and London bombings but none of those events got the attention of the world in a dramatic and shocking manner.

There are also people who want to see God's prophecies fulfilled regardless of how much destruction they bring but the Bible says that we are not to desire that since the Day of the Lord is a terrible day, a day of darkness and not light but tells us to prepare for that day because it will surely come. It will come swiftly even if it seems to be delayed.

This is something similar to a football/soccer game. When the game is going well and players play according to the rules, the referee goes unnoticed throughout the game but when the referee is seen a lot and shows yellow and red cards to players, then it means that players are not playing according to the rules and that causes some of them to be sent off by the referee.

We know that the time is coming when many will be sent off and were are not to desire that because we are not to desire that the players behave badly. We have to prepare for those times and that's what the ministries that are from God have been doing. They don't preach false gospels of self and personal material prosperity. They preach the gospel of laying our lives for our brothers and of doing personal sacrifices for the edification of the Body of Christ. They speak about very hard times, persecution, sorrow, death, destruction and revival in Jesus Christ through tribulation. They don't speak about false doctrines of escaping these things. They speak the truth and the truth is that the Body of Christ will go through these trials so that it is sanctified and strenghtened by them.

There are some matches, when after a player is sent off things get off track and sometimes it starts a chain reaction that leads other players to be sent off later in the game and sometimes, some matches end with 4 or 5 players being sent off, which is a lot of sent off players.

As you may have understood by know, Jesus Christ is the referee of the match. Unfortunately, yet according to the divine plan, very soon a red car will be shown and the world will be shocked.

We all know that things are going wrong, that sin abounds, that 9/11 didn't bring the repentance that Jesus Christ wanted it to bring, yet to those who were destined to repent because of it did in fact repent.

Now the time has come for this red card to be shown and that will provoke a chain reaction of events that will have tremendous impact in world events. This red card is a part of a sequence of events and we have an important role to play in this sequence of events and that is to get closer to Jesus Christ, to have a good understanding of the Bible and to ask Him for understanding about this red card.

I urge all of you who have children to tell them the truth when this falls happens, and the truth is this: This fall happened because baby Jesus is angry with those people because those people did harm to other people. Baby Jesus wants people to love each other and when people hate each other and kill each other, no matter what excuses they provide, then baby Jesus is angry with them and punishes them.

Prepare to tell your children that baby Jesus loves us all but He gets angry with those who keep doing wrong. Tell them that baby Jesus is the decider, not santa claus or anyone else. He Himself is the decider.

Don't tell yout children that this fall has happened just because there are evil people who just want to kill other people. Don't tell them that this fall is just a consequence of the evil in the hearts of the people who did it. Tell them the truth. Tell them that it happened because baby Jesus is very sad and angry with what those people had been doing and that's why He caused that fall to happen.

Say that in a way that they don't become afraid.Tell them that it's something similar to a father correcting his children because they behave bad.

Of course the way you tell them must be appropriate to their age and according to their level of understanding.

It's very important that you prepare for this because children will know about this fall. It's going to be everywhere in the news, people will speak about it and it's not just an event that will be know only to those who follow the news. It's one of those events that it's going to be known everywhere. All news channels, all radios, newspapers, magazines, everywhere. And it will shock people.

There are people who will rejoice with this event and you should also tell your children that those people who rejoice they do it because they don't know baby Jesus. We christians are not to rejoice because God does not rejoice with the destruction of the wicked. Regarding this event, we are to give glory to God because He is faithful to His Word and He does exactly what is written there, to the point, but we are not to rejoice with the destruction of the wicked.

What is written there by the hands of the prophets is exactly what God does. Some people insist upon many symbolisms and very deviating interpretations but when it happens, people will recognize that it happened exactly as it is written.Exactly to the point. What is written there is what happens. If it says it is a fall then it means a fall. Just like that. God means what He says.

To those of you who have teenagers in your families, you have the responsability to tell them about this fall. You have the responsability to search the scriptures until you find what the prophets wrote about this fall so you can understand it and then tell and show others, including adults, what God says about this fall. Children and teenagers are being mentioned particularly because usually it's more difficult for them to understand these events but our responsability is to share the love of Jesus Christ with everyone. And this event, even though it's a terrible event, has its origin in the eternal love of Jesus Christ for it is part of His plan and His plan is a divine plan of eternal love.

And how do you find this event in the Bible? It's simple: you read the prophets carefully and God willing, the Holy Spirit will tell you where it is. For example, you start reading Isaiah. You read chapter one and if you don't find anything that seems to be a very accurate description about this fall, then you go to chapter two and keep reading chapter after chapter until you find it.

Seek and you shall find. If you really want to find this fall in the prophets you will find this fall in the prophets for it is there. Wanting to find it is a honest desire of searching God's Word so you can have wisdom and understanding about how God acts.

Do this in all the books of the prophets, in the Psalms, in Revelation as well as in the book of Lamentantions, and, God willing, you will find this fall exactly the way it happened. God gives understanding to those who seek Him. Seek and you shall find. It is Jesus Christ Who says it. Seek and you shall find.

Don't be like the many christians who don't know what the Bible says about 9/11. Read also the prophets, the Psalms, Lamentantions and Revelation and you will also find 9/11 there.

Don't be like those who don't understand what God has to say about this fall.

This red card is like traveling on an airplane. You know there are times when we must fasten our seat belts. Usually it is on take off, on landing and when there is turbulance. That's what I'm urging you to do. Because this flight is headed to a very turbulent zone, a zone of thunder and serious disruptions, fasten your seat belts in Jesus Christ lest He strikes this flight with thunder and you get hurt because you weren't wearing His seatbelt. Both for those who have the seat belt of Jesus Christ and those who don't, it's a flight that will never be forgotten.

When this fall happens, don't feed any feelings of vengeance that might come to your hearts. Many will demand vengeance and will have their hearts hardened like the Pharaoh because of this fall. That's also one of the reasons why this fall must be understood: so that our hearts will not be hardened by it nor by the events that will follow this fall. We must abide in the eternal love and peace of Jesus Christ regardless of the events that happen.

This letter and the letter "The fall and repentance have come hand in hand" are like the blowing of a trumpet by the watchman. It's like a watchman who is on the watchtower of a boat and has seen the pirates on the horizon. He knows they're coming and he does what he must do which is to blow the trumpet as loudly as he can. And as you know, when the watchman blows the trumpet then that's because the arrival of the pirates is imminent.

The One who put him there watching, has given him the tools to watch and has shown him what to watch for. He has been watching and until recently he hasn't seen the pirates coming and that's why he has been silent. But now he has seen the pirates coming and he does what he is supposed to do and that is to blow the trumpet!

These two letters are the fulfillment of the following scriptures:

"And he hath seen the sword coming against the land, And hath blown with a trumpet, and hath warned the people,"

Ezekiel 33,3

"Blow ye a trumpet in Zion, And shout ye in My holy hill, Tremble do all inhabitants of the earth, For coming is the day of Jehovah, for [it is] near!"

Joel 2,1

"Strengthen yourselves, sons of Benjamin, From the midst of Jerusalem, And in Tekoa blow ye a trumpet, And over Beth-Haccerem lift ye up a flame, For evil hath been seen from the north, And great destruction."

Jeremiah 6,1

You can't imagine how dificult it is to be writing this to you.

Today it's January 12th 2008.

"And thou, son of man, A watchman I gave thee to the house of Israel, And thou hast heard from My mouth a word, And thou hast warned them from Me."

Ezekiel 33,7

Read the Bible and prepare yourselves and your loved ones!

God, Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit love us more than we can understand!

All glory and praise be to God, to Jesus Christ and to the Holy Spirit!

"these things I have spoken to you, that in me ye may have peace, in the world ye shall have tribulation, but take courage -- I have overcome the world.'"

John 16,33

"The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ [is] with you all. Amen."

Revelation 22,21

This post is serious but the reference to baby Jesus reminds me of the "grace" scene in "Talladega Nights: the Legend of Ricky Bobby"

    • 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.
