The Final Yovel Preparations

    Introduction

    Shabbat shalom mishpachah and may the grace of our Messiah Yah'shua (Jesus) be with us all. Welcome to this last sabbath assembly of the 12th month. We have one more month (the 13th) left of the current Sh'mittah (Sabbatical) year before we embark on Yovel (Jubillee) year that will be remembered by the righteous and the wicked as, respectively, 'great' and 'terrible'. I pray that your eyes and your ears are open for the witness of the Ruach (Spirit) to Messianic Israel. I have a great deal to share with you today and tomorrow. Rather than share these things topically I thought I would do so chronologically so that you will know the sequence in which these things were revealed to me as part of the prophetic davar (word) that I have today.

    Tying Up Loose Preparation Ends

    I suppose I should begin by asking you rhetorically where you all are in your preparations and to strongly advise you to tie up your loose ends in the next four weeks before the start of the new year. The signs of the time are abundantly clear.

    Story of the Two Prophets

    I have been reminded again of the story of the navi (prophet) who was strictly told by Yahweh not to stop by the way after he had performed his mission. So we are going to begin today with that account to 'set the tone' of what is to follow. I will be reading from the New King James Version if anyone would like to follow with me:

      "And behold, a man of Elohim (God) went from Judah to Bethel by the davar (word) of Yahweh, and Jeroboam stood by the altar to burn incense. Then he cried out against the altar by the davar (word) of Yahweh, and said, 'O altar, altar! Thus says Yahweh: 'Behold, a child, Josiah by name, shall be born to the house of David; and on you he shall sacrifice the priests of the high places who burn incense on you, and men's bones shall be burned on you.' And he gave a sign the same day, saying, 'This is the sign which Yahweh has spoken: Surely the altar shall split apart, and the ashes on it shall be poured out.' So it came to pass when King Jeroboam heard the saying of the man of Elohim (God), who cried out against the altar in Bethel, that he stretched out his hand from the altar, saying, 'Arrest him!' Then his hand, which he stretched out toward him, withered, so that he could not pull it back to himself. The altar also was split apart, and the ashes poured out from the altar, according to the sign which the man of Elohim (God) had given by the davar (word) of Yahweh. Then the king answered and said to the man of Elohim (God), 'Please entreat the favour of Yahweh your Elohim (God), and pray for me, that my hand may be restored to me.' So the man of Elohim (God) entreated Yahweh, and the king's hand was restored to him, and became as before. Then the king said to the man of Elohim (God), 'Come home with me and refresh yourself, and I will give you a reward.' But the man of Elohim (God) said to the king, 'If you were to give me half your house, I would not go in with you; nor would I eat bread nor drink water in this place. For so it was commanded me by the davar (word) of Yahweh, saying, 'You shall not eat bread, nor drink water, nor return by the same way you came.' So he went another way and did not return by the way he came to Bethel.

      "Now an old navi (prophet) dwelt in Bethel, and his sons came and told him all the works that the man of Elohim (God) had done that day in Bethel; they also told their father the words which he had spoken to the king. And their father said to them, 'Which way did he go?' For his sons had seen which way the man of Elohim (God) went who came from Judah. Then he said to his sons, 'Saddle the donkey for me.' So they saddled the donkey for him; and he rode on it, and went after the man of Elohim (God), and found him sitting under an oak. Then he said to him, 'Are you the man of Elohim (God) who came from Judah?' And he said, 'I am.' Then he said to him, 'Come home with me and eat bread.' And he said, 'I cannot return with you nor go in with you; neither can I eat bread nor drink water with you in this place. For I have been told by the davar (word) of Yahweh, 'You shall not eat bread nor drink water there, nor return by going the way you came.' He said to him, 'I too am a navi (prophet) as you are, and a malak (angel) spoke to me by the davar (word) of Yahweh, saying, 'Bring him back with you to your house, that he may eat bread and drink water.' (He was lying to him.) So he went back with him, and ate bread in his house, and drank water.

      Now it happened, as they sat at the table, that the davar (word) of Yahweh came to the [old] navi (prophet) who had brought him back; and he cried out to the man of Elohim (God) who came from Judah, saying, 'Thus says Yahweh: 'Because you have disobeyed the davar (word) of Yahweh, and have not kept the mitzvah (commandment) which Yahweh your Elohim (God) commanded you, but you came back, ate bread, and drank water in the place of which Yahweh said to you, 'Eat no bread and drink no water,' your corpse shall not come to the tomb of your fathers.'

      "So it was, after he had eaten bread and after he had drunk, that he saddled the donkey for him, the [old] navi (prophet) whom he had brought back. When he was gone, a lion met him on the road and killed him. And his corpse was thrown on the road, and the donkey stood by it. The lion also stood by the corpse. And there, men passed by and saw the corpse thrown on the road, and the lion standing by the corpse. Then they went and told it in the city where the old navi (prophet) dwelt. Now when the [old] navi (prophet) who had brought him back from the way heard it, he said, 'It is the man of Elohim (God) who was disobedient to the davar (word) of Yahweh. Therefore Yahweh has delivered him to the lion, which has torn him and killed him, according to the davar (word) of Yahweh which He spoke to him.' And he spoke to his sons, saying, 'Saddle the donkey for me.' So they saddled it. Then he went and found his corpse thrown on the road, and the donkey and the lion standing by the corpse. The lion had not eaten the corpse nor torn the donkey. And the [old] navi (prophet) took up the corpse of the man of Elohim (God), laid it on the donkey, and brought it back. So the old navi (prophet) came to the city to mourn, and to bury him. Then he laid the corpse in his own tomb; and they mourned over him, saying, 'Alas, my brother!' So it was, after he had buried him, that he spoke to his sons, saying, 'When I am dead, then bury me in the tomb where the man of Elohim (God) is buried; lay my bones beside his bones. For the saying which he cried out by the davar (word) of Yahweh against the altar in Bethel, and against all the shrines on the high places which are in the cities of Samaria, will surely come to pass.'

      "After this event Jeroboam did not turn from his evil way, but again he made priests from every class of people for the high places; whoever wished, he consecrated him, and he became one of the priests of the high places. And this thing was the sin of the house of Jeroboam, so as to exterminate and destroy it from the face of the earth" (1 Kings 13:1-33, NKJV).

    Living by Your Own Revelation

    Now you may wonder why I have shared this account with you today by way of an introduction to what will follow, and the reason is this. First and foremost, you have GOT to live by your own revelation for the salvation of yourself and for family if you are a father and husband in these difficult days ahead. This means you must not give precedence to a revelation received on your behalf by someone, especially if it contradicts what Yahweh has told you personally. It may well be that Yahweh is testing your obedience.

    False Nevi'im

    I have known so many revelations that were given by self-styled 'nevi'im' (prophets) on behalf of others that were lies and I have seen the destruction they have caused. I could give you so many examples. In most cases the nevi'im (prophets) meant well but they were listening to either their own imaginations or to the whisperings of the devil. But they were still false nevi'im (prophets). One man, who had been a part of us briefly before deciding to go his own way, joined an Assemblies of God congregation, which as you know is a charismatic denomination, and boldly prophesied over a woman dying of cancer that she would be healed and live. She died shortly afterwards. One woman I knew of prophesied that someone would die by drowning. The woman died of natural causes but lived in such mortal terror of water that she refused to ever travel by boat anywhere. I have had numerous false prophecies pronounced over me, once or twice when I was very vulnerable and hurting, which only compounded by pain, because vulnerable and hurting people are desperate for a Davar Elohim (Word of God) for comfort and direction.

    The Responsibility of Family Heads to be Led by Yahweh

    So even if one with a stature of an Elijah, Jeremiah, Isaiah or one of the greats were to appear to you and contradict what Yahweh has told you personally, you should pay no heed to them. If you have not received a revelation, and if your not receiving one is on account of your failure to seek and hearken to Yahweh or repent of your sins, then He might send you a navi (prophet) to direct you. You will not be allowed to shirk your own responsibility to find out the Davar Elohim (Word of God) for yourself and your family, especially in a life or death situation.

    Mistakes are Made

    That is not to say that there aren't bona fide nevi'im (prophets) sent by Yahweh to warn people and families because there are and always will be until the fullness comes and we no longer "see through a glass darkly" (1 Cor.13:12, KJV). Even nevi'im (prophets) need the help of other nevi'im (prophets) from time to time and not everyone is what you might call a 'full-time navi (prophet)'. We all need one another which is why anciently the nevi'im (prophets) use to band together for mutual support. We need to learn from one another and grow together. Just be careful, don't be credulous save the Ruach (Spirit) testify that you listen. Also understand that even those with the office of a navi (prophet) are not infallible and make mistakes. Jeremiah tried to force the Rechabites, who were under a teetotal covenant (as we are now in Messiah) to drink alcohol and was rebuked by Yahweh (Jer.35).

    Difficult Questions

    Now I realise that a lot of interesting and possibly difficult questions may arise in your mind from the story of the two nevi'im (prophets) as to why Yahweh worked in this strange way that He did but we don't have time to go into all of those if I am to get through my message in the next two days. What I do want to point out to you is that the old navi (prophet) came from Bethel (meaning, 'House of God') in the northern Kingdom of Israel, in the territory of Benjamin, where the Ark of the Covenant had originally been (Judg.20:18-28; 21:1-4) and which had been a sanctuary in the days of Samuel (1 Sam.7:16; 10:3). King Jeroboam made Bethel a rival cult centre to Jerusalem. The old navi (prophet) was both an Israelite and a Benjamite unlike the disobedient Judahite navi (prophet) who died for disobeying His instructions. If we are to learn anything it must be to fear Yahweh. Don't mess around with the Creator when He has given you a special anointing.

    What Were the Motives of the Old Navi?

    The tragedy of this situation is that the Israelite navi (prophet), who lived in the heart of apostacy and idolatry, did nothing to correct the wickedness of his monarch and thus had compromised his ministry. We don't know why the old navi (prophet) did what he did and commentators have speculated for centuries as to motives so we will get nowhere trying to work them out today. What should the Judahite navi (prophet) have done when faced by an older, 'senior' and more experienced (one always supposes) navi (prophet) with a compromising revelation? He should have been suspicious. Should the younger one have sought divine verification, as some have suggested?

    The Why's and Wherefore's

    The answer, in this situation, is an unqualified 'No!' The young Judahite navi (prophet) already knew Yahweh was in his mission because of what had already happened so why should he have any grounds to doubt the part of Yahweh's message telling him not to stop to rest or eat? We may never know the why's and wherefore's of Yahweh's instructions to us and it is not the right of a servant to know his master's reasons if he is not told. I have been told to do things that I was never given the reason for and some of the things I have been told to do were undoubtedly to test my obedience and discernment. And if He doesn't give you a reason you will never figure it out for sure. And sometimes doing what He says may seem quite insane because we don't see into the future as He does, or what the real needs always are.

    The Authority of Fathers and Husbands

    The enemy is going to tempt you, brethren and sisters, with believers who have compromised their calling and are not walking in perfect obedience. You are to give no recognition to any pretended 'rank' when it concerns an area, like your family, where you are given absolute authoritiy - your calling is yours and you must be true to it no matter what anyone else says! I have know false ministers, who took authority that was not theirs, destroy families. Fathers, you have the final authority over your children. Husbands, you have the final authority over your wives. Indeed Torah specifically teaches that a husband is only to release his authority over his wife to a cohen (priest) or minister if there is a suspicion of unfaithfulness on her part and he wants her to be put to the test. Does that mean that fathers and husbands are perfect or do not need instruction from time to time? No, of course not. We are a body in need of the giftings of others which is why we are to live out our lives as a Body. Husbands and fathers learn from other husbands and fathers, and preferably from their own fathers if they have been blessed with godly fathers. Likewise mothers and wives learn from other mothers and wives, and from their own mothers if they were godly. None of us learns or matures in complete isolation.

    Test All Things

    Now you may wonder how Yahweh could yet speak through this old navi (prophet) after he had already lied out of his own imagination, yet he gave a true prophecy later, did he not? This is a warning to all nevi'im (prophets) and to all those who have contact with them. Though a navi (prophet) may fall that does not mean that his gifting is removed. There is a difference between a navi (prophet) and the gift of prophecy. True nevi'im (prophets) who fall become, not 'non-nevi'im' (prophets), but false nevi'im (prophets), and you must never forget that. That makes them potentially very dangerous if they are out of the way. For they may speak truth one minute and lies the next. Balaam was an example of this, was he not? (His end, by the way, was not good). That is why we are to test all things especially if prophecy can potentially or actually impact our lives in a major way, as, for example, in making a life-chaning decision about something (such as marriage or career). You have got to find out for yourselves. That means you're now personally responsibile for what you accept or believe. It is you who must answer before Yahweh, not just the false navi (prophet) for deceiving you if he succeeds.

    The Story of the Donkey and Lion

    Finally, to round off this story, it should be noticed that unlike the two nevi'im (prophets), both the donkey and the lion acted unnaturally, bending their wills to Yahweh's sovereignty. The donkey did not run and the lion did not attack the donkey, perhaps also a picture of the Millennium when what is unnatural to these creatures now will become natural when Yahweh is truly Sovereign again in this world. Yahweh's navi (prophet) and Yahweh's talmidim (disciples) have got to learn how to have their wills bent by the Ruach haQodesh (Holy Spirit) or we will end up in the lion's deadly jaw.

    Chemtrail 'Flu

    Now to another subject. I want to talk to you briefly about has come to be called 'Chemtrail 'Flu'. We can't really be sure where the strange bugs that are hitting us are coming from though we can testify they are not at all like any bacterial or viral infection we have had before. I have had it at least five times now this winter. The symptoms are various but consistently these bugs are wearing away our immune system. There is no doubt that laboratory-made biological weapons are out there (that's an 'open secret') but what isn't clear is what is being covertly introduced into the biosphere as part of the élite's design to cull the world's population. Bible prophecy says that a third of the world's population is going to perish before the return of Messiah (Rev.9:15.18), the élitists want to murder about 90-95% of us. And they are doing so by numerous means, including vaccination, water flouridation, artificial and carcinogenic food additives, GMO's, psychotropic drugs, and much else besides. You all know what they are up to, including using microwaves to fry our delicate biological systems.

    Vision of the Artificial Bug

    Five days ago Yahweh showed me a vision of some kind of 'bug' at a time when I was feeling pretty ill with 'something' that resembgled 'flu but wasn't, a 'flu that never fully developped and get returning again and again leaving one abominably weak. I'd draw it for you if I could so I'm afraid you are going to have to make do with an only slightly better description. What I was shown was this. I saw a sphere that had moving tentacles, like the arms of an old-fashioned ship mine, that were sparking as though trying to ignite. The arms seemed non-physical at times, like clouds. Whatever the 'thing' was, it was not working perfectly, at least not according to the intent of its designers. I could see flashes of fire coming out of the tentacles or arms as this thing tried to somehow 'catch' or become fully active. Finally, something caught and its core (in the globe part) started to glow and humm like a machine just turned on. I knew this meant that the 'bug' had 'started' or become 'activated' but that it was not working to its fully designed potential. My impression was that when (if) this device actually works that it will cause a pandemic - a real one, not like the phoney Ebola and now Zika ones which were/are being used to cause panic, force the population to be vaccinated (with useless and harmful vaccines) and, as ever, to make a fortune for the pharmacological companies.

    Relocating to the Countryside

    The warning, simply, is this: the lab-made bugs that we have been going down with this winter are but prototypes or 'beta versions' or the real, deadly thing that they mean to murder millions with. You need to be prepared for this and the Remnant needs to plead for divine protection and such revelation as might be needed to combat it. This is one of the reasons we need to be in the places Yahweh has called us to (re)locate to and why we must NOT be caught in the metropolises or even large towns once the balloon goes up. So it is with some relief when I hear that one of you has finally made it out to a place of protection. Only yesterday one of the brethren, who has had very reduced circumstances, informed me he had finally got out of Oslo and was now safe deep in the countryside where Yahweh has led him. If you haven't sought revelation from Him and are sitting it out in a city then there is a very real chance that you are gambling with your life and the lives of your dependants. And you can't take people who won't believe or obey. Lot had to elave a lot of family and friends back in Sodom. His wife fatefully turned and looked back, and was toasted. Please do not play roulette with your life or the lives of your dependants! Yahweh has useful work for you to do which no corpse can do.

    Preparing Against Epidemics

    When this lab-bug really works it's going to have a deadly impact like, or worse than, the Spanish 'Flu which took more lives than the entire First World War did. Millions perished from it. This is just one of many things you need to be aware of. That means making sure you have lots of vitamin supplements (before they make them illegal) and to eat sensible food to give your immune system a chance. Also stock up on onions. Sliced onions absorb viruses, as an American doctor learned during the Spanish 'Flu apidemic last century. Learning to biologically detox is also part and parcel of your preparedness.

    Vision of the Strange Flag

    The second word that I have for you is a rather unusual one in terms of the way in which Yahweh revealed it to me. Two nights ago I was awakened and Yahweh showed me a vision of an unusual flag, a horizontal tricolour of red, grey and black (see right). Now there isn't a national flag on the planet that remotely resembles this colour combination which made it all the more interesting, though many Arab countries have the red, white and black sequence. No country's flag has grey in it that I have ever come across. But this was not what the flag was about or why Yahweh showed it to me. Indeed, it's not a country at all but a set of character traits.

    Colours of the World System

    I really didn't know what to make of it until several hours later when I sat down to prepare this address to you. Then I understood. These three colours are the colours, and what they represent, that will dominate our world over the years leading up to the Second Coming. These are not only the three colours of the world system as it is and as it is becoming but they are the colours which the Remnant must 'meet' and 'overcome'. So its both the 'flag' of the Babylonian or New World Order as well as representing those spheres of the soul that the Remnant must quickly be come overcomers in.

    Red

    No one can fail to have noticed how the élite powers have become much, much more aggressive in recent years as they sense the realisation of their goals. Red is the colour of passion which can be good or evil - red is often a 'warning' colour (as in 'red flag'), represents blood (positive and negative), anger, etc.. It is very common in national flags where it usually has something to do with a struggle for independence or 'liberation' and the blood shed to achieve it.

    Remnant Aspirations and Overcomings

    For us what is important is the qualities of these colours - positive and negative - to either be avoided or overcome. I want to take a look at these generally now to give you some idea of the human and demonic elements that are involved. In the diagram the left-hand columm represents the qualities the Remnant must aspire to, through Messiah. The right-hand side shows the colour characteristics of the 'dark side', the character elements the demonic wishes to suck us into:

    Understanding How Black is Also Positive

    At first I could not understand how grey and black could be 'positive' colours until I remembered that Yahweh "made darkness His secret place" (Ps.18:11, NKJV) and "made darkness canopies (pavilions) around Him" (2 Sam.22:12, NKJV). And Solomon said that "Yahweh said He would dwell in the dark cloud" (1 Kings 8:12, NKJV).

    Yahweh Dwells in the Light

    Atheists, of course, make a big ado about this, claiming that the Elohim (God) of the Bible contradicts Himself because it also says that He dwells "in unapproachable light" (1 Tim.6:16, NKJV). Indeed, all over the place the Scriptures declare that Elohim (God) is light and lives in light:

      "Elohim (God) is light; in him there is no darkness at all" (1 John 1:5, NIV).

    Moses, Yah'shua and Disciples Shine

    Bible scholars and students of Scripture know that the words 'light' and 'dark' are used in different ways. Yahweh's home in the spiritual dimension is filled with "unapproachable light" because the fullness of His glory illuminates it (Rev.21:23). Moses's face on Sinai shone, and Yah'shua's (Jesus') on the Mount of Transfiguration "shone like the sun" and His garments shone "as white as the light" (Mt.17:2). As Creator, Messiah is the "father of lights" (Jas.1:17). This is visible light belonging to the material universe. However, light and dark are also used symbolically in Scripture. As talmidim (disciples) we are to reflect the light of righteousness and holiness that is our Master's character (1 Jn.5:14-16).

    The Positive Poetic Use of Darkness

    Darkness, however, is also used to represent other things. When Scripture speaks poetically of darkness being Yahweh's "secret place", the sense here is of mystery, something not to be fathomed or understood by puny, finite mankind. His canopy is "dark waters". As one scholar has noted:

      "The picture is that of a violent storm - a figure so frequently used in the Scriptures to furnish the accompaniment of God's (Elohim's) approach, He Himself being as it were housed in the storm. From the time of Sinai onward these figures become standard (cf. Ex.19:16-18; Judg.5:4-5; Ps.66:7; 77:16-18; Is.29:6; 30:27ff.; etc.) As the storm sweeps near, He is in it. The thick storm clouds are the material upon which He rides" [1][2].

    Black as Strength and Mystery

    This enables us how to understand the positive symbolism of the colour black which, amongst other things, also represents strength, mystery and godly power. This is in shap contrast to demonic 'black' which represents such things as evil, negativity, suffocation and so forth. We all sleep in the dark, the world is bathed in darkness at night, and we do not regard these as negative but as god things, enabling us to rest and regenerate.

    Grey

    Grey is an interesting colour too, one most of us associate with negativity, but as any artist will tell you grey can provide useful contrasts in a painting. It possesses the qualities of both black and white mixed together. During their history grey has been a favourite colour of computers though black now seems to be preferred.

    Action

    Anyway, I think you get the idea of what Yahweh is trying to convey here. Though the believer is, of course, concerned with all the colours, these three will loom 'larger that life', as it were, in the tumultuous world that has begun and lies ahead. Please note that RED IS THE FIRST COLOUR because just as the Enemy is highly proactive at this time so too must the Remnant be. Yahweh's true talmidim (disciples) are action-oriented, energetic, speedy, assertive, confident. energising (as opposed to draining), exciting, powerful, passionate, courageous, strong and determined. BUT this youthful passion must rest on a bedrock of grey intelligence, maturity and stability which must itself rest on that greatness which is the mystery of the Father.

    Israel and Judah Called to Zion

    Tomorrow I have a prophecy for the Republic of Israel that I must share with you and also an important one for the Remnant. What is now necessary is "the people of Israel" (Ephraim) and "the people of Judah together...come weeping as they seek Yahweh their Elohim (God). They shall ask the way to Zion, with faces turned towards it, and they shall come and join themselves to Yahweh by an everlasting covenant that will never be forgotten" (Jer.50:4-5, NRSV). Zion is not, at this time, that piece of contested real estate in the Middle East that is soon to be bathed in deadly fire, but the Kingdom of Heaven which is near:

      "Make teshuvah (repent), for the kingdom of heaven is at hand!" (Matt.3:2, NKJV).

    The Tiniest Serpents are the Deadliest

    We must each of us "prepare the way of Yahweh" (Matt.3:3, NRSV) in our hearts by getting out every last particle of darkness so that when darkness covers the whole world as a thick blanket we will not be in the dark but in the radiance of His light. It is a time, once again - a desperate time - when we shall "not live by bread alone. but by every word that comes from the mouth of Elohim (God)" (Matt.4:4, NRSV), whether it be the written Davar (Word), the Bible, or that which must be received by every saved-one from the Ruach haQodesh (Holy Spirit). From the bosom of the Ark even the tiniest of hiding serpents must now be seized and destroyed, for as I was reminded by my wife yesterday, some of the tiniest snakes can be the deadliest.

    Conclusion

    May the Elohim (God) of grace - undeserved loving kindness and unmerited favour - now find His home in the last hidden places of our souls so that we may be all in all for Him, readied and secured for what is to come. Amen.
