Below is a link to a video presentation of ‘The Song of Ezekiel’, part of the anointed Praise & Worship CD ‘Your Great Name’ by Paul Wilbur Ministries. Please support his ministry by purchasing this powerfully Spirit-anointed tool of worship and praise to our Heavenly Father.

The prophecy of Ezekiel concerns the entire House of Israel. Has this taken place as of yet ? No . . . Is it in the process of coming together ? Most assuredly. And if you are a born-again blood-bought believer, it pertains to you. For by the Blood of Yeshua you have been made a part of the citizenship of Israel -the eternal Kingdom of God Almighty. ( Eph. 2:8-ff ) . The problem is we do not know who we are in Messiah . . . we are asleep, and the Shalom –

We are a diverse group of born-again, blood-bought, blood-washed believers from varying denominational and cultural backgrounds, brought together by the leading of the Holy Spirit of GOD to be discipled and to become “disciplers” in and of the full counsel of GOD, according to Yeshua’s (Jesus’) words in Matthew 5 and Matthew 28, among others.

Who we are and what our lifestyle should be in Messiah Yeshua (Jesus the Christ) is demonstrated in Paul’s admonitions in Ephesians 2, Romans 9 and 11, Galatians 3 and 5, and John’s writings in 1 John 2, 1 John 3, and 1 John 5, just to list a few. Understanding that we must view these passages and all Scripture from a biblical perspective and not necessarily from a denominational doctrinal standpoint. We teach and practice the Torah as a life-style change brought about by being ‘set apart’ by the blood of Messiah. We do not keep the instructions of our Heavenly Father in an effort to be saved, but rather we teach, guard and observe the commandments of GOD because we are saved. (Matt 5:18,19 ) Those ‘instructions’ extend into our daily lives and practices, giving us direction on our worship methods, days and seasons and even to what is proper for us to eat and what our Father considers food and what us unclean. ( Lev. 11 ) All of God’s creation is good, but not all things were created to be eaten. Pigs, shellfish, shrimp and other creatures were never intended by our Father to be eaten. They were created for a specific purpose, but not as food. If our faith does not direct our ‘lifestyle’ as it sets us apart and brings us into obedience to the Father’s Word, then is it, in fact, true ‘Faith’

We believe in the reality and necessity of the gifts of the Holy Spirit of GOD in these last days and that there is, always has been, and always will be ONLY One Way to the Father and that Way is through the shed Blood of the Son of GOD – Yeshua (Jesus) – brought about by the conviction and drawing of the Holy Spirit of God, acted upon by confession and repentance of sin, to be followed by willful submission to obedience to the Word of GOD.

The “Word of God”…It is living and sharper than a two-edged sword. It is Yeshua (Jesus) and HE is the Word…the Word that became flesh and dwelt among us and is to come again. He (the Word – Yeshua – Jesus) is the Torah of GOD. He is Genesis to Revelation, the teachings and instructions for life now, life abundant, and life eternal. He is the full Counsel of GOD for the people of GOD. A people that GOD calls Israel – a people we have been grafted into by the Blood of Messiah (Eph. 2:8-13, Rom. 11:17-26, Acts 7:37-38), undivided, from all walks of life, from all nations, tribes and tongues, to be joined together in the last days according to the Prophets…to abide forever with GOD the Father (YAHWEH) under the headship of His Son Yeshua (Jesus) in the New Jerusalem. THIS IS WHO WE ARE.

Insights from the Father

1 Corinthians 15:44-47   “ . . . it is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body. If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual body.  ⁴⁵ So it is written: “The first man Adam became a living being”; {45 Gen. 2:7}   the last Adam, a life-giving spirit. ⁴⁶ The spiritual did not come first, but the natural, and after that the spiritual.  ⁴⁷ The first man was of the dust of the earth, the second man from heaven.”

      The Second Adam – Yeshua – was from Heaven ( spiritual ) and took on dust , became flesh ( from the dust of the earth – the flesh of the 1^st Adam ) which was cursed in Genesis in the Garden, along with all that came out of that dust, so that ‘man’, which came from the dust of the earth, could be redeemed by the Blood of the One that took on dust ( flesh ) making Him the Perfect Sacrifice.  

     He was born, not of the will of man, but came from heaven above ( the will of the Father ),  split the veil of the flesh as the Seed of the woman, and came into this world, taking on dust to redeem the ‘dust’. The requirement for sin in Genesis is death –‘ in the day you eat of this you shall die’. So, an animal was killed ( death ) and Adam and Eve were covered with those skins until the One would come  – Yeshua – the One who is Spirit and, unlike ‘the blood and flesh of bulls and goats’, could and would take on and become flesh to redeem flesh.     ( He was born from the ‘Inside Out’)  

     Adam & Eve, in the Garden, were covered  with the skins of animals.  The earthly Tabernacle was covered with skins of animals , which was a prophetic picture of  Yeshua  taking on skin (flesh), to ultimately become the covering for all creation that came from the dust of the earth.

       We being of the ‘natural’ and flesh are born from the ‘outside in’, that is  ‘from the will of man’.  Man  (Adam ) attempted to cover himself in the beginning ( the will of man ) with his own covering or what he thought was sufficient to cover his own sin ( all Israel did what was right in their own eyes ) by covering himself with fig leaves.

     Yeshua came and took on the dust of the earth ( flesh ).  A crown of thorns ( which is symbolic of the curse on the ground  Genesis 3:17-19 ), was placed on His head as a sign of His Kingship and Lordship over the curse put on the ground (the dust of the earth), a curse that we and all that were called forth from the earth ( animals, plants, creeping things )  were under. So when that Crown drew Blood as it was placed on His brow , the final declaration was made that He had overcome the curse put upon the ground from which the thorns and thistles would come, an ‘overcoming’ that includes us and all creation, and fulfills the Word of the Lord declared in Genesis that He would come as ‘the Seed of the Woman’ ( Genesis 3:15 ) .

      Blood and water are present and necessary for natural birth. The same is true for spiritual birth. Yeshua hung on the cross and the sword pierced His side and blood and water came forth which represents the New Birth, the birthing of His Bride. This same picture was given at Yeshua’s baptism .You have the blood ( the Lamb ) the water and the Spirit ( the Dove), all of which are a portrayal of  ‘Spiritual birth’.  In the beginning in Genesis you have the water, and the Spirit brooding over it, and the seed in the earth which includes us ( for we – Adam –  were formed from the dust of the earth ).  ‘Adam’ can also mean ‘red’ which represents ‘blood’ so, even in the Beginning, we have the water, the Blood & Spirit . ( God breathed into Adam and he became a living soul – water, blood and Spirit )

     The will of man in the garden was to choose his own covering (the difference of good and evil ) . Which translated, in simple terms, into ‘fig leaves’.   God’s way was to make atonement ( blood – life is in the blood ) .

      Adam & Eve wore the skins of the animals slain. The Tabernacle in the wilderness was covered by the skin of animals. Both of these are a picture of the time when Yeshua would come in the flesh and take on ‘skin’ and ‘dust’ as covering for His Spiritual body ( 1 Cor 15 ) and was slain, becoming the blood covering for sin.

Joel 2:31 The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the coming of the  great and terrible day of the LORD. ( Acts 2:20)

That is a pretty telling statement. It is the foundation for Yeshua’s similar statements in Matthew 24 and other passages. The Word also states that Abba declares the end ‘out of the beginning’ and not the other way around. There are several examples of what have come to be called ‘Tetrads’ in the history of the world and the history of Israel, God’s people.

Prior to 1492, we don’t have a lot of historical information about events that might have coincided with blood moon series. The ones in 1949-50 are after the fact of the reconstitution of Israel which took place in 1948. The blood moon series that took place in 1967-68 are another matter. The first blood moon fell on Passover in April of 1967 preceding the beginning of the 6-day war in May-June of that year. Signs in the heavens preceding an event would seem to be more in line with how our Heavenly Father works – declaring with a sign before an event occurs.

So what does that have to do with the upcoming Blood Moons on Passover and Day 1 of Sukkot in both 2014 and 2015 ? If in fact they take place on those days, they will be extremely significant prophetically. We know that Kerry and the current administration is pushing for a rough draft of some form of a peace agreement on paper on the table between the PA and Israel by April. Passover 2014 is in April. The Prophet Joel tells us one of the many reasons Abba will judge the nations is because they have divided His Land. IF the two series of Blood Moons ( a tetrad ) come to pass on the projected dates, the ‘two’ would be very telling. Joseph told Pharaoh the two dreams were one. The reason for the two ? To confirm that which was declared was established in the heavens. Not ‘if’, but ‘when’.

Where are we on the prophetic timeline ? We can tell you we are in the ‘birthpangs’. Of that there should be not doubt for anyone. What are birthpangs indicative of ? Something is about to be born. What is it ? Could it be the millennial kingdom ? That would make sense, according to the Word ? How long will they last ? No one knows. One thing we do know. According to pattern, they will increase in frequency and intensity until the event takes place. What are the birth pangs ? Read Matthew 24 and Luke 17. They are NOT a slap on the wrist. And regardless of your eschatology and theories concerning the ‘rapture’, the ‘church’ will be present for these ‘birthpang’ events. Are you  ready ? Are you prepared ? Does Yeshua rule your life ? Are you washed in the blood ? Are you in His Word and is His Word in you ? Do you understand the Feasts of the Lord and His Sabbath ? They are the legend on the map of the Last Days. They are the pattern for the Gospel. The same Gospel given to them in the wilderness and the same Gospel given to us on whom the ends of ages falls.
Only one way to the Father and His eternal kingdom , whether you were part of the first exodus or part the second. Shalom to you and yours in these days – Pray for the Peace of Jerusalem. Pray your flight will not be in winter or on the Sabbath. And pray that you will be found worthy to stand before the Son of Man at His coming.
Above all, pray, and seek His Face and understanding of His Word and Ways in these days.
