CALL of the TIMES

 Psalm 150:6

King James Version

6 Let every thing that hath breath 

praise the Lord. 

Praise ye the Lord.


TEN months ago, we started this blog you're reading now.

We felt early 2024 was "something else" -- a very strange one.

And now we're in November, so close to the end of the year.

All the more I'm getting a "deja vu" feeling.

I've been here.

I've felt this before.

The year was 2019.

GOD had just made me born again that September.

On the same day, He led me to Bible prophecy.

By November, SPIRIT and I were writing about spiritual warfare. 

In 36 days, before Christmas, we wrote 22 books on it.

This, as the world partied, and prepared for 2020.

And then the covid crisis hit.


Now, we're back with the same feeling.

It's all preparation again, before 2025.

We need to be awake, aware, and alert.

From now, till 20 January 2025.

When Trump goes back to the White House.  

And, of course, beyond that.

Things are "shaping", coming to "form", awaiting "fruition".

There have been many goings-on, since the start of this year.

Let me share excerpts here.

Just so you know what I speak of.


----------------------


21 January 2024

"FORTIFY your FORTRESS"


The year 2024 is nothing to sniff at.

Nothing to sneeze at.

And definitely something you cannot ignore.

Why is that?

Because there is a certain "grouping".

A "movement" of sorts.

A "positioning".

As if all who are for GOD are making a stand now.

As well as those who are against the LORD.

Getting ready for the real battle to come.

I feel it in my bones.

I feel it in the air.

I witness it in daily events.

I see, and feel, the "patterns".


SPIRIT opens my eyes to many things.

Many things happened before the year started.

And after the year started.

The signs are almost blaring.

The siege in Israel.

Strange leaders.

Strange policies.

Strange alliances.

Strange weather.

Strange events.

And yet, it's all been prophesied.


Fortify the fortress of your soul.

Many will want to attack it.

You will be hit on ALL fronts.

Especially if you're not born again.

Especially if you don't know Scripture.

Especially if you don't believe in JESUS.

2 Corinthians 4:4

King James Version

4 In whom the god of this world 

hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, 

lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, 

who is the image of God, should shine unto them.


----------------------


True enough, 2024 was substantial.

CHANGE was REALLY in the AIR.

Trump won; Kamala lost.

The Republicans won; the Democrats lost.

Trump is appointing a worthy cabinet.

Israel still has to retrieve her people in Gaza.

She is being hit on SEVEN fronts.

And now, the EIGHT front -- from within.


Netanyahu's going through a lot of attacks.

With Satan making sure Israel's prime minister is destroyed.

Putting all forms of stumbling blocks before him.

With the intent he gets "distracted", and "occupied".

The end result being, he gets "unseated".


As if that could ever happen.

Unless GOD allows it, Himself.

We did write in September, that Netanyahu has the "TOUGHEST job EVER".

Try being in his place, for one.

Let's see if you could do a better job.

Netanyahu knows his enemies.

He's been soldier, diplomat, and leader most of his life.

He only cares Israel survive the onslaught.

And now, Trump's come to help him.

Can you imagine Satan's anger?


Oh, the cruelty of CHRIST's enemy!

All because Israel is winning.

And now, the people of America have won.

A lot will be happening each day.

ESPECIALLY within Israel, and America.

And anything that involves Israelis, and Americans.

Satan is of the mind, "If you can't destroy it from without, destroy it from within".


Well, here's the connection between America, and Israel.

A true contrast today:

America conquered the "within".

Israel is being destroyed from "within".


Before America's 2024 elections, it was the EXACT opposite.

After 7 October 2023, Israel united for the moment.

That being that, here's how it was:

America was being destroyed from "within".

Israel conquered the "within".


As with everything regarding Satan, expect deception, division, and destruction.

As with everything regarding man, expect "temporary".

Because of their friendship, Israel and America are targets.

Thus, the two countries need each other.

They're in this battle together.

Satan's after both of them.

But GOD prevails.


Israel's going through a repeat of pre-October 7, 2023.

Wherein there was infighting again.

Leaving her "exposed".

That's when I felt Israel was in danger.

Satan's really at it, if you must know.

He will always find a weakness in man.

He wants Israel, and America, destroyed.

With the battle, one day, for Jerusalem.

And yet, GOD's plan is in place.


As born again, you must bear all these things.

JESUS did say:

Matthew 24:13

King James Version

13 But he that shall endure unto the end, 

the same shall be saved.


As an unbeliever, you must turn to JESUS now.

Acts 4:12

King James Version

12 Neither is there salvation in any other: 

for there is none other name under heaven 

given among men, whereby we must be saved.


BEST preparation for the times?

For these curious, crucial, chaotic, confusing times?

That we may all manage to survive it?

Whether you're a leader, or a citizen?

Become born again.


So SPIRIT can TEACH you GOD's ways.

So you can COMPREHEND man's ways.

So you can UNDERSTAND Scripture precisely.

So you can REPENT of your sins, and ASK forgiveness.

So you can PRAISE the LORD, rightfully.

So you can ACKNOWLEDGE His POWER.

So you can BE of TRUE service to others.

So you can BE victorious, through CHRIST.


Through SPIRIT, you will see the BIGGER picture.

All will be made clear to you.

1 John 2:27

King James Version

27 But the anointing 

which ye have received of him 

abideth in you, 

and ye need not that any man teach you: 

but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, 

and is truth, and is no lie, 

and even as it hath taught you, 

ye shall abide in him.


Be not like Kamala, who turned away JESUS at her rally.

Then starts spouting Scripture, realizing her error.

And yet we felt GOD was not in her heart.

This, we deplore mightily!

GOD must NOT be mocked!


Instead?

BLESS the LORD!

GIVE your WHOLE heart to Him.

It is time you do so now!

Psalm 113:2-4

King James Version

2 Blessed be the name of the Lord 

from this time forth and for evermore.

3 From the rising of the sun 

unto the going down of the same 

the Lord's name is to be praised.

4 The Lord is high above all nations, 

and his glory above the heavens.


Psalm 150

King James Version

150 Praise ye the Lord. 

Praise God in his sanctuary: 

praise him in the firmament of his power.

2 Praise him for his mighty acts: 

praise him according to his excellent greatness.

3 Praise him with the sound of the trumpet: 

praise him with the psaltery and harp.

4 Praise him with the timbrel and dance: 

praise him with stringed instruments and organs.

5 Praise him upon the loud cymbals: 

praise him upon the high sounding cymbals.

6 Let every thing that hath breath praise the Lord. 

Praise ye the Lord.


Daniel 2:19-23

King James Version

19 Then was the secret revealed 

unto Daniel in a night vision. 

Then Daniel blessed the God of heaven.

20 Daniel answered and said, 

Blessed be the name of God for ever and ever: 

for wisdom and might are his:

21 And he changeth the times and the seasons: 

he removeth kings, and setteth up kings: 

he giveth wisdom unto the wise, 

and knowledge to them that know understanding:

22 He revealeth the deep and secret things: 

he knoweth what is in the darkness, 

and the light dwelleth with him.

23 I thank thee, and praise thee, 

O thou God of my fathers, 

who hast given me wisdom and might, 

and hast made known unto me now 

what we desired of thee: 

for thou hast now made known unto us 

the king's matter.


2 Corinthians 1:3-5

King James Version

3 Blessed be God, 

even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, 

the Father of mercies, 

and the God of all comfort;

4 Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, 

that we may be able to comfort them 

which are in any trouble, 

by the comfort wherewith we ourselves 

are comforted of God.

5 For as the sufferings of Christ abound in us, 

so our consolation also aboundeth by Christ.

SURE and STRONG

 

JESUS said:

Matthew 7:24-25

King James Version

24 Therefore whosoever heareth 

these sayings* of mine, and doeth them, 

I will liken him unto a wise man, 

which built his house upon a rock:

25 And the rain descended, 

and the floods came, 

and the winds blew, 

and beat upon that house; 

and it fell not: 

for it was founded upon a rock.


What makes us certain about life?

What makes us strong in this world?

The world is filled with tons of temptations.

And tons of traps, that aim to ensnare us all.

We all need to be born again, to have a robust heart.

SPIRIT, through Scripture, will guide us every moment.

We will know the things that matter.

Such as being aligned with GOD's will.

We will know the commands we need to obey.

That our life, and our family's life, can be secure.

Not through fame, or fortune, but through FAITH in GOD.

Unless we follow JESUS, we cannot survive this world.

We need the strength of His mind, that we may survive.

Satan will wear us out, every chance he can get.

Unless our foundation is rooted firmly in CHRIST, we will succumb.


TRUE BORN AGAIN is steady.

Because of these things:


We LIVE by the BIBLE.

It is the NONNEGOTIABLE gospel.

It is NOT a gospel of accommodation.

We are FREE from ambivalence.

We live FREE of distraction.

We are CONFIDENT in CHRIST.

We are HAPPY with JESUS.

We have VICTORY through JESUS.

We are SOLDIERS of CHRIST.

We are ROCK steady.

We know GOD's PLAN of SALVATION.

We have PEACE through JESUS.

He is our CHIEF Corner Stone.

GOD is STEADY.

JESUS is CONSISTENT.

The ONLY thing that will REMAIN is GOD's WORD.

GOD's WORD stands forever.


As WATCHMEN, we are STEADY at our posts:

"We remain steady, at our posts.

Waiting for our Master's command.

That we may know what to do, where to be, how to act.

We rely on His EVERY command.

Thus, we wait, watch, warn, worship.

His will, ways, and wisdom are planted upon our hearts."

-- "The WARRIOR's protection"


Our pillar is CHRIST.

Our pillow is the WORD.

Our peace is JESUS.

Our homes are fortified with GOD's TRUTH.

Our souls are safe from sin.

Our hearts belong to GOD.

Our minds are fixed on JESUS.

We wear the FULL ARMOR of GOD.

We sleep good nights because of the LORD.

Confident, and grateful, in His LOVE.

We are His.

John 10:27-28

King James Version

27 My sheep hear my voice, 

and I know them, and they follow me:

28 And I give unto them eternal life; 

and they shall never perish, 

neither shall any man 

pluck them out of my hand.


*NOTE:

Matthew 7:1-23 refers to what JESUS said about "these sayings of mine" .

The things we need to do.

FORTIFY your HOMES

 

Jeremiah 51:12

King James Version

12 Set up the standard 

upon the walls of Babylon, 

make the watch strong, 

set up the watchmen, 

prepare the ambushes: 

for the Lord hath both devised and done 

that which he spake 

against the inhabitants of Babylon.


I had been dreaming, the past two days.

Had an urgent dream about the Rapture yesterday.

Today, I dreamt of securing my family's "house".

Three black-shirted men wanted to enter the house.

One pushed aside the screen door and made his way in.

Of course, I got angry, and asked him to leave.

When they left, I secured the two sliding screen doors.


Instinctively, I headed for the back door, aiming to secure it.

But first, I needed to check the front of our house.

There was a balustrade, whose design seemed all wrong.

The workers had not constructed it well.

It should have been parallel to the front wall.

Thing is, it was shaped outwards.

That was a no-no.

The wider gap would invite people to squeeze in.

Giving them access to our windows.

Funny, even in my dream, I was thinking architecturally.

The significance of the dream?


It's all about "fortifying".

Is our whole person secure through JESUS?


It's about "alignment".

Is our whole person aligned with GOD's WORD?


It's about "family".

Is our family one with GOD?


It's time to fortify self, and families, now.

More than ever.

For the enemy lies in wait.

1 Peter 5:8

King James Version

8 Be sober, be vigilant; 

because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, 

walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:


We must be FULLY aligned with the LORD.

Look where "thieves" can come in.

JESUS spoke of parables, to that effect:

Luke 8:4-5

King James Version

4 And when much people were gathered together, 

and were come to him out of every city, 

he spake by a parable:

5 A sower went out to sow his seed: 

and as he sowed, some fell by the way side; 

and it was trodden down, 

and the fowls of the air devoured it.


Luke 8:11-12

King James Version

11 Now the parable is this: 

The seed is the word of God.

12 Those by the way side are they that hear; 

then cometh the devil, 

and taketh away the word out of their hearts,

lest they should believe 

and be saved.


John 10:6-8

King James Version

6 This parable spake Jesus unto them: 

but they understood not what things they were 

which he spake unto them.

7 Then said Jesus unto them again, 

Verily, verily, I say unto you, 

I am the door of the sheep.

8 All that ever came before me 

are thieves and robbers: 

but the sheep did not hear them.


John 10:9

King James Version

9 I am the door: 

by me if any man enter in, 

he shall be saved, 

and shall go in and out, 

and find pasture.


John 10:10

King James Version

10 The thief cometh not, 

but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: 

I am come that they might have life, 

and that they might have it 

more abundantly.


John 10:11

King James Version

11 I am the good shepherd: 

the good shepherd giveth his life 

for the sheep.


John 10:12

King James Version

12 But he that is an hireling, and not the shepherd, 

whose own the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming, 

and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth: 

and the wolf catcheth them, 

and scattereth the sheep.


John 10:13

King James Version

13 The hireling fleeth, 

because he is an hireling, 

and careth not for the sheep.


John 10:14

King James Version

14 I am the good shepherd, 

and know my sheep, 

and am known of mine.


John 10:15

King James Version

15 As the Father knoweth me, 

even so know I the Father: 

and I lay down my life for the sheep.


John 10:16

King James Version

16 And other sheep I have, 

which are not of this fold: 

them also I must bring, 

and they shall hear my voice; 

and there shall be one fold, 

and one shepherd.


John 10:17

King James Version

17 Therefore doth my Father love me, 

because I lay down my life, 

that I might take it again.


If you're a born again parent, this you must do.

That you, and your family might be safe:

Deuteronomy 11:18-21

King James Version

18 Therefore shall ye lay up these my words 

in your heart and in your soul, 

and bind them for a sign upon your hand, 

that they may be as frontlets between your eyes.

19 And ye shall teach them your children, 

speaking of them when thou sittest in thine house, 

and when thou walkest by the way, 

when thou liest down, 

and when thou risest up.

20 And thou shalt write them 

upon the door posts of thine house, 

and upon thy gates:

21 That your days may be multiplied, 

and the days of your children, 

in the land which the Lord sware 

unto your fathers to give them, 

as the days of heaven upon the earth.


Lastly, be aware of the "black-shirted" ones.

What we call the "copycat".

Observe how he copies --

GOD has His TRIUNE GOD.

The enemy tries to have his, too.


Secure your homes.

Secure your families.

Secure your souls.

Pray to be born again now.

That SPIRIT may teach you how.

The Rapture is imminent.

It can occur, any moment GOD chooses.

I'm not dreaming these dreams in a vacuum.

There is real urgency, dear brothers, and sisters.

Only through JESUS are we safe.

And saved.

The FISH gate

 

JESUS declares:

Luke 11:11

King James Version

11 If a son shall ask bread 

of any of you that is a father, 

will he give him a stone? 

or if he ask a fish, 

will he for a fish give him a serpent?


What is the significance of Jerusalem's "Fish Gate"?

SPIRIT led me to this verse today.

Definitely a Bible prophecy.

Which we must pay attention to.

Zephaniah 1:10

King James Version

10 And it shall come to pass in that day, 

saith the Lord, 

that there shall be the noise of a cry 

from the fish gate

and an howling from the second, 

and a great crashing from the hills.



What "day" was that?

Zephaniah 1:7

King James Version

7 Hold thy peace at the presence of the Lord God: 

for the day of the Lord is at hand: 

for the Lord hath prepared a sacrifice, 

he hath bid his guests.


Why was the LORD angry?

Why was judgment to be meted out?

What must Israel expect?

These I found:

Zephaniah 1:2-6

King James Version

2 I will utterly consume all things from off the land, 

saith the Lord.

3 I will consume man and beast; 

I will consume the fowls of the heaven, 

and the fishes of the sea, 

and the stumbling blocks with the wicked: 

and I will cut off man from off the land, 

saith the Lord.

4 I will also stretch out mine hand upon Judah, 

and upon all the inhabitants of Jerusalem; 

and I will cut off the remnant of Baal from this place, 

and the name of the Chemarims with the priests;

5 And them that worship 

the host of heaven upon the housetops; 

and them that worship and that swear by the Lord, 

and that swear by Malcham;

6 And them that are turned back from the Lord; 

and those that have not sought the Lord, 

nor enquired for him.


Zephaniah 1:14-16

King James Version

14 The great day of the Lord is near, 

it is near, and hasteth greatly, 

even the voice of the day of the Lord: 

the mighty man shall cry there bitterly.

15 That day is a day of wrath, 

a day of trouble and distress, 

a day of wasteness and desolation, 

a day of darkness and gloominess, 

a day of clouds and thick darkness,

16 A day of the trumpet and alarm 

against the fenced cities, 

and against the high towers.


Zephaniah 1:17-18

King James Version

17 And I will bring distress upon men, 

that they shall walk like blind men, 

because they have sinned against the Lord: 

and their blood shall be poured out as dust, 

and their flesh as the dung.

18 Neither their silver nor their gold 

shall be able to deliver them 

in the day of the Lord's wrath; 

but the whole land shall be devoured 

by the fire of his jealousy: 

for he shall make even a speedy riddance* 

of all them that dwell in the land.


The fish gate must be that important, if the cry, during the day of the LORD, would originate from there.

I remembered SPIRIT and I wrote an earlier post about the fish gate.

Which was the second gate rebuilt by Israel, through Nehemiah:

Nehemiah 3:3

King James Version

3 But the fish gate did the sons of Hassenaah build, 

who also laid the beams thereof, 

and set up the doors thereof, 

the locks thereof, 

and the bars thereof.


Another verse about the fish gate could be found here:

2 Chronicles 33:14

King James Version

14 Now after this he built a wall 

without the city of David, 

on the west side of Gihon, in the valley, 

even to the entering in at the fish gate, 

and compassed about Ophel, 

and raised it up a very great height, 

and put captains of war 

in all the fenced cities of Judah.


That verse referred to the builder as Manasseh, the 14th king of Judah.

He began to rule at age 12, and did so for 55 years.

Only thing, he did evil in the eyes of the LORD.

So, GOD sent him judgement.

But was brought back to his kingdom, when he repented of his sins.

That's why he built the outer wall of Jerusalem, even to the "entering in at the fish gate".

We also learn that his son, Amon, did evil in the eyes of the LORD.

After which, his son, Josiah, became king.

2 Chronicles 33:25

King James Version

25 But the people of the land slew all them 

that had conspired against king Amon; 

and the people of the land made Josiah 

his son king in his stead.


The connection of king Josiah to prophet Zephaniah, can be found in this verse:

Zephaniah 1:1

King James Version

1 The word of the Lord 

which came unto Zephaniah 

the son of Cushi, 

the son of Gedaliah,

the son of Amariah, 

the son of Hizkiah, 

in the days of Josiah the son of Amon, 

king of Judah.


Interesting how Jerusalem's "fish gate" witnessed her sins, ruin, other nations' oppression of her, and will witness GOD's future wrath.

Another interesting revelation is what will happen to the Levant during that "day of the LORD".

*NOTE: there will be a "remnant" of the people of Israel, as this verse says:

Zephaniah 2:7

King James Version

7 And the coast shall be 

for the remnant of the house of Judah; 

they shall feed thereupon:

in the houses of Ashkelon 

shall they lie down in the evening: 

for the Lord their God shall visit them, 

and turn away their captivity.


What will happen to the Levant?

Find it here.

Who are Israel's remnant?

Find it here.
