I just received one of the most inspiring, encouraging messages I've ever gotten during my years of writing this blog. A reader sent this to me personally: "The sounds of worship are changing. What you are and what you do have weight; bringing peace in the garden and a two-edged sword dealing with His enemies. Father is calling Esthers, don't be afraid. Know that we war best from a place of peace. Love, pray, write!"
Thank you, Will, my brother in Messiah and long-time reader! This meant more to me than you can know. Love, pray, write! This is the roadmap God has given me in this season and I need to understand and believe that it is enough. So, in that light, I will share with all of you what He showed me in the Scriptures this morning. Psalm 106:4-5 was quickened in my spirit: Remember me, O Lord, when you show favor to Your people, come to my aid when You save them, that I might enjoy the prosperity of your chosen ones, that I may share in the joy of Your nation and join with Your inheritance in giving praise!" These verses reverberate in my heart as I come even more fully into this calling on my life. Most people close in my life have never understood it and churches where I have ministered have come against it, and yet in reading those verses this morning, a fire was re-kindled in me that God first placed there in 2001, my first trip to Israel - 25 years ago! I know and understand that joining myself to Israel and the Jewish people will not always bring "joy and prosperity." Indeed, we are headed down into the dark, foretold time of Jacob's Trouble and anti-Semitism is fiercely rising across the earth. Some say we have just crossed over into the shadow of 1938-39 from our history books. But my heart will continue to cry out, "Let me join with Israel, Your inheritance, in giving You praise, O Mighty One of Israel!" There are many verses that illustrate for us God's heart in "grafting the Gentiles into the olive tree of Israel" that we all may be one. The best known, of course is in Romans 11:17-21, where Paul explains to the Gentile believers the marvelous plan of God to bring them into unity with the Jews. He writes, "If some of the branches [Jews] were broken off, and you - a wild olive - were grafted in amng them an have become equal sharers in the rich root of the olive tree, then don't boast as if you were better than the branches! However, if you do boast, remember that you are not supporting the root, the root is supporting you. so you will say, 'Branches were broken off so that I might be grafted in.' True, but so what? They were broken off because of their lack of trust. However, you keep your place only because of your trust so don't be arrogant; on the contrary, be terrified! For if god did not spare the natural branches, he certainly won't spare you! So take a good look at God's kindness and his severity; on the one hand, severity toward those who fell off, and on the other hand, God's kindness toward you - provided you maintain yourself in that kindness! Otherwise you too will be cut off!" What a clear picture that paints of Christians who profane the Jews and boast in their own righteousness and salvation. They would do well to heed those words of Paul! And there are many prophecies in Scripture of how foreigners (Gentiles) would come alongside those of ancient Israel, and help to farm their crops, build their towns, and tend their flocks. Isaiah 60:10 “Foreigners will build up your walls, And their kings will minister to you; For in My wrath I struck you, And in My favor I have had compassion on you Isaiah 61:5 Strangers will stand and pasture your flocks, And foreigners will be your farmers and your vinedressers. Ezekiel 47:22 You shall divide the land by lot for an inheritance among yourselves and among the aliens who stay in your midst, who bring forth sons in your midst. And they shall be to you as the native-born among the sons of Israel; they shall be allotted an inheritance with you among the tribes of Israel. Those first two passages from Isaiah are being fulfilled even now in our day as many who have joined their hearts to Israel are over there in the land doing exactly what Isaiah spoke of, helping farmers, pruning grapes, ministering the love of God to the people. I know many of these extraordinary people personally and I watch in great awe as they sacrifice their own lives to live out their callings. The final passage from Ezekiel is, of course, prophecy of the Millennium, the Kingdom of Messiah Yeshua here on earth. Can you imagine it? The greatly enlarged land of Israel is divided by lot for an inheritance for the Jewish people and the Gentile people in their midst! I pray to be one of these, Father! I pray to be one allotted an inheritance with my Jewish brothers and sisters among the tribes of Israel! Perhaps now you understand why the verses in Psalm 106 touched me anew this morning. Those words should stir us to begin to PRAY for the peace of Jerusalem and the protection of God's Land and His people. And they should summon us to take a stand of LOVE AND SUPPORT for our Jewish brothers and sisters wherever they are, against Satan's relentless plan to destroy them all. LOVE, PRAY, WRITE! Let me join with Israel, Your inheritance, in giving You praise, O Mighty One of Israel!

Daniel 7:8: When I was thinking about the [ten] horns, there before me was another horn, a little one, which came up among them.
Several months ago I read an article about Hakan Fidan, the current Foreign Minister of Turkey and how he has recently been rising in power and popularity. Because I am a very strong believer that the Antichrist figure will emerge from either Turkey or Syria (backed by Scripture in Ezekiel 38), I have been keeping a watch on Mr. Hakan Fidan. Being a "watchman on the wall" has been a major part of my prophetic calling for many years, and I do know when the Spirit is moving me to watch something or someone. When I first became aware of this foreign minister in Turkey, I purposed to look up the meanings of his names. I found that HAKAN means "emperor or ruler"! Then I looked up the name Fidan and found that it is of Turkish origin and means "a sapling or young tree." That definition hearkened me back to the Daniel 7:8 scripture above. A sapling - a little horn - that rises up to be a Ruler? I was sitting here at my desk just pondering that thought again when an email popped up from the Israel Guys (the young men from the HaYovel Ministry in Israel). In this email they wrote, "Turkey's Foreign Minister, Hakan Fidan, may have a shot at becoming the next Secretary-General of the U.N. Although Turkish officials have denied the claim that Fidan may run for the office, his name has come up for consideration multiple times." Wow. This could definitely still be something worth watching...or not. But I thought you might find it interesting, as I do. The Secretary-General of the United Nations carries a lot of power. Could it be a little sapling, a little horn coming up out of nowhere (as the Scriptures said) and spring-boarding to a global power position? Ezekiel 38:1-3 speaks of "Gog of the land of Magog, chief prince of Meshech and Tubal." The term chief prince is the word rosh in Hebrew. Rosh has nothing whatsoever to do with Russia! According to Bible scholars, Magog, Meshech and Tubal are all ancient lands that now are within the modern day nation of Turkey. We are given VERY clear understanding on where this "Gog" (who is Antichrist) will come from. So, we know where to be watching. Time will tell! |
