Ah, must be some kind of coincidence . . . Surely we aren’t seeing these things actually coming to pass . . .

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem ; may they prosper who love you . . . Psalms 122

Click here to watch: Hamas launching missiles from dense population centers There are (Thank G-d) far fewer Israeli casualties than Gazan casualties for a multitude of reasons – not the least of which are: a) Israel builds bomb shelters and uses them, b) Israel cancels school and non-essential work in the name of protecting our citizens, c) Hamas uses dense population centers from which to launch attacks, thus using their own citizens as shields.

As we watch things unfold in the Middle East between Israel and her ‘neighbors’, always keep two things in mind. One, that we are to pray for the peace of Jerusalem, understanding that true peace will not come until the Prince of Peace returns. And two, there is a ‘family tie’ between these that stand against Israel. The Palestinians of today are the Philistines of the days of Abraham and King David. The word ‘philistine’ means ‘immigrant’ and they are descendants of Ham through Mitzrayim ( Egypt ) . The statement has been made that Morsi of Egypt is in a dilemma, torn between his empathy for Hamas ( violence ) and his financial connection to the U.S. ( which is a spiritual picture of Egypt in the last days with a healthy dash of Babylon thrown in ) . But in the end, blood is thicker than the ink on the money and Egypt will side with the rest of her ‘family’. But that too will pass, for in the end there is a goodly connection between Israel and Egypt and Syria. But not so good for Babylon.  How so ? How do I know ? The bible tells me so . . . more to come . . .

Blessings and Shalom  B’Shem Yeshua —

 Psalm 81:3 Blow up the trumpet in the new moon, in the time appointed, on our solemn feast day.

 Isaiah 66:23 And it shall come to pass That from one New Moon to another, And from one Sabbath to another, All flesh shall come to worship before Me,” says the LORD.

 Col 2:16 So let no one judge you in questions of food or in drink, or regarding a festival or a new moon or sabbaths,
 17 which are a shadow of things to come, and the substance of which is Christ.

Thursday Nov. 15 2012  New moon sited in Ky this evening.  Rosh Chodesh Sameach

I am reminded of the passage in 1 Chronicles 21 where King David sinned greatly in the eyes of YHVH and GOD gave David a choice concerning the judgement against the nation for the sin. The choices ? three years of famine, three months in the hand of man or three days in the Hand of Abba. David chose to throw himself and his people into the hands and great mercies of his God.  Prior to King David, there was King Saul. Not a bad sort of guy . . . good looking, charismatic, even a little religious at times. But this was not the type of leadership and government intended by GOD for that people. But the people wanted a change. and GOD gave them exactly what they asked for.

Father GOD has been warning this nation about our sins against HIM for sometime. This is not a ‘thus sayeth the LORD’. But ever since the election this one thought keeps coming to my mind. Four years ago this nation had a choice as to how we would proceed as a nation based on our choice of a new leader. We believed then just as we believe now – judgement is inevitable for this nation. It is not that one leader rather than another would prevent judgement. But rather , our choice of leader would determine how the judgement would be meted out. Four years ago our nation chose a leader that promised ‘change’. At that point our country started down a road of ‘change’ that most could not have imagined and many would not have thought possible . . . not in America.
But here we are, four years later and, as a nation, have confirmed that choice by the re-election of that same choice. It is as if we had opportunity back then and we pulled the wrong lever and now we must live with our choice. My concern is that this ‘choice’ is the beginning of the end of this nation as we know it. You can only shed innocent blood for so long . . . you can only promote biblically abominable practices for so long . . . you can poke your finger in the eye of GOD for only so long . . . and then there is a price to pay. And I believe that we have entered the ‘payment phase’ . . . and it is not going to be pretty.  But we have some examples in Scripture that will actually give us hope ( expectancy ) and direction in these days. We will look at some of those in the next few days. The KEY will be  –  ‘to where do we look for our help’ . . . we must look to the LORD, maker of heaven and earth . . . and we will have a part to play and right decisions to make, just as in the days of Noah and righteous Lot.  For now, pray for mercy . . . wisdom . . . discernment . . . and pray the petition of Abraham . . . for by it GOD delivered the righteous through the judgement. Shalom –

And remember – ‘Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.
And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, shall guard your hearts and your minds in Messiah Yeshua’.
‘be shrewd as serpents and harmless as doves’ . . .for you are in the world, but not of it .  blessings –
