Psalm 45:1-5
"My heart is indicting a good matter: I speak of the things which I have made touching the king: my tongue is the pen of a ready writer."
2 Thou art fairer than the children of men: grace is poured into thy lips: therefore God hath blessed thee for ever."
3 Gird thy sword upon thy thigh, O most mighty, with thy glory and thy majesty."
4 And in thy majesty ride prosperously because of truth and meekness and righteousness; and thy right hand shall teach thee terrible things."
5 Thine arrows are sharp in the heart of the king's enemies; whereby the people fall under thee."
Our Lord is coming in flaming fire and also he who is Our All Righteous and Holy God with eyes like flames of fire! Is coming to be glorified "in his saints" and we who are the Father's saints that shall fulfill the Father's divine purpose that are seen by him as his set apart ones that shall be here on earth to "Behold the Reward of the wicked!"
Psalm 37:30 -31
"The mouth of the righteous speaketh wisdom, and his
tongue talketh of judgment."
31 The law of his God is in his heart; none of his steps shall slide."
Psalm 91:8
"Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked."
That's why the manchild is to be birthed from the woman ...seen as the Lord's prophetic teachers that he has raised up...Daniel 12:3 is it? These seen as the Father's Zion people the firstfruits that come into maturity in Christ first. See Psalm 78:67-68 and Lamentations 4:2 and Micah 4:1-12. It is that they (See Revelation 12:6) that it is the THEY that are written of in Revelation 12;6. It the THEY the manchild company of sons that shall teach the woman and in feeding and nourishing her when she is taken into her wilderness place that is prepared of God for her.
Revelation 12:1-14
"And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars:
2 And she being with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered.
3 And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads.
4 And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born.
5 And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and to his throne.
6 And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days. (Seen as three and one half years)
7 And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels,
8 And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven.
9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
10 And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night.
11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.
12 Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.
13 And when the dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth, he persecuted the woman which brought forth the man child. 14And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent."
The time and times, and half a time is seen as forty and two months the same time as what is seen in Daniel 7:24-25; Daniel 12:7 and Revelation 11:3 and Revelation 13:5.
The manchild is seen in vs. 17 as the remnant of HER what is the WOMAN'S SEED that keep the commandments of God. They the remnant sons and daughters of God shall teach her the woman we see as the Immature Bride as some of Her the Lord's true people need to grow up into maturity as yet. The woman that shall be "fed and nourished" with God's word as she the sun clothed woman seen as the Church and true Body of Jesus Christ is protected from the dragon at that time as she is taken into her wilderness place that God has prepared for her...from the Christ haters and the system and government that also has a "head" and what is seen as an antichrist head as Jesus Christ is "Our" Head......It is during that time of a times, a time and a half which is seen as forty and two months or what is seen as three and one half years of the persecution of the true Called Out Church and what is seen as the Bride of Jesus Christ and the remnant of "Her seed." For as the devil hates the sons as they are given and granted by God himself-- the throne place which he the devil our enemy has coveted... to rule the world and he lost it to the sons of God as they are caught up to God and his throne and are granted that ruling place in his what is the throne with Jesus Christ ruling with rod of authority given unto Him that overcometh. Please if you will? See Revelation 2:26-27 and Revelation 3:21 as these are our Lord's words.
The woman that has not come into her maturity as yet shall be fed and nourished by the hand of the Father's manchild company of prophetic teacher...See Daniel 12;3 and Ephesians 4:11-16,
The Bride of Christ shall be instructed in the Father's pure doctrine "like" what is seen in symbol as "rain" and seen as the former and latter rain with the "true manna from heaven." For is seen as wholesome and what is the "fresh bread of LIFE" with the Word of God that comes down from heaven upon the "mown grass" likened to "clear shining" after the rain! (2 Samuel 23:1-5) The grass is seen as our cut down "flesh." For Isaiah writes that "All flesh is as grass!" Grass is seen in Bible symbol as or what is likened to "the carnal flesh of men and women and children of God." Thus the Word of God in the Father's pure doctrine like rain in instructions seen as teaching His the Lord's ways seen in the symbol of "rain" likened to the Father's heavenly "rain showers" that come down upon the tender herbs! (Deuteronomy 32;1-3) Herbs speak of people seen as young tender herbs with a teachable heart and spirit to be willing to learn of God's ways that are all righteous and life to the seeker of truth!- See again Deuteronomy 32:1-3 and John 2:18-21 and Hosea 6:1-3 and James 5:7-8.
For it is as we enter into this last prophetic time frame of what is seen as the Third Day since the crucifixion and resurrection and ascension of our Lord and in what is seen as the Lord's going forth in the Third Day! See Hosea 6:2-3 and James 5:7-8 and what is seen as three and one half years to fulfill the second half of Daniel's Seventieth Week that is found in Daniel chapter 9:24-27. For as Jesus only fulfilled the first half of the three and one half years in his anointed ministry that began at his water baptism in the Jordan river. Luke 3:23 tells is when our Lord became of full age of maturity of about the age of thirty years old seen as a sign in Israel of maturity. A man was considered mature at about the age of thirty years of age and was also considered by his father as and accountable trustworthy son and was given the power of attorney and the authority to take over his father's business. This Jesus did and the sons of God shall do as well as they come into their maturity unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Jesus Christ's own perfection seen by our Father as a mature son and daughter of God.
WATER BAPTISM
True Biblical Baptism is by Immersion
Romans 6
"What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?
2 God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?
3 Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death?
4 Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.
5 For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection:
(Jesus rose from the tomb of death on the feast of Firstfruits on the THIRD Day. See John 2:18-21)
6 Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.
7 For he that is dead is freed from sin.
8 Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him:
9 Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him.
10 For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God.
11 Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord.
12 Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof.
13 Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God.
14 For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.
15 What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? God forbid.
16 Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?
17 But God be thanked, that ye were the servants of sin, but ye have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered you.
18 Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness.
19 I speak after the manner of men because of the infirmity of your flesh: for as ye have yielded your members servants to uncleanness and to iniquity unto iniquity; even so now yield your members servants to righteousness unto holiness.
20 For when ye were the servants of sin, ye were free from righteousness.
21 What fruit had ye then in those things whereof ye are now ashamed? for the end of those things is death.
22 But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life.
23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Our Personal Jordan Experience is seen as dying out unto the self life of the old man of our flesh."
Colossians 3:1-3
"If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.
2 Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.
3 For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God."
THE DEAD IN CHRIST SHALL RISE FIRST IN THEIR ORDER
1 Thessalonians 4:13-18
"But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.
14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.
15 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.
(The sleep in Jesus are the ones who have died a natural death in times past. These God will BRING with Him when he comes again the second time in His Appearing unto the earth!)
16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:"
(Rehearse Colossians 3:1-3)
17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord."
18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words."
The Lord is coming back to this earth to set up his kingdom here and we are going to meet him on his way down with the asleep in Jesus as we are caught up in the clouds of glory together to meet the Lord! Halleluiah! For it is that the meek that "shall" inherit the earth! (See all of Psalm 37)
The Jordan river and our water baptism into Christ's death is seen in Romans chapter 6. And is seen as a type of "our death to the self life" and our personal burial of our "Old Man" as he goes under the waters of Baptism to rise again in Resurrection Life and in identifying with Jesus Christ in his death, his burial and what is his Resurrection on the Third Day. (See Hosea 6:1-3; Luke 13:32 and John 2:18-21)
Thus as we see in our personal water baptism as we follow our Lord after our initial repentance experience and what is our personal conversion into the family God. For it is that we see as we go down into the waters of Baptism seen as our "death unto the self life" of the "Old man" of our flesh and in "arising" from the waters of Jordan--in type. It is that we rise in a new life walking as "New Creations in Christ." A People that are found in Him that are covered with the Precious Blood of Jesus Christ that won the victory for us at the cross! Now as we move progressively on in what is seen as "Newness of Life..." Then we must learn the righteous ways of our God as we steadily advance unto Maturity of full age in the Son of God. And it is as we follow on in Christ's suffering continuing to be made conformable unto "his death" seen as the death of the cross. Thus seen as taking up our own personal cross and following him who is our Lord Christ in "our death" and in our "burial" of our old man of the flesh and in fully rising in Resurrection LIFE!
JESUS MINISTERED FOR THREE AND ONE HALF YEARS
It is of the first three and one half years that Jesus fulfilled in his anointed ministry on this earth and as we see there is a second half of the middle of Daniel's 70th week to be fulfill as yet of the Lord's ministry as he was cut off in the middle of the week. It is in the end seen as the sons of God and the Father's daughters included that shall complete the anointed ministry of Jesus in the remainder of the three and one half years of Daniel's 70th week.. We see as it is the sons of God that qualify and are approved of God and are granted a rod of iron to rule with Christ in his throne as they are catch up unto the Father's throne found in Revelation chapter 12:5. They are what the Father sees as mature his sons and daughters that shall minister in the last half of Jesus' anointed ministry in "Jesus Name" and in what is seen in Christ's authority and in the Father's power of attorney that is granted unto "him that overcometh." -Thus what are found in our Lord's words in Revelation 2:26-27; Revelation 3:21 and Revelation 12:5.
The Lord's Rod of Authority Shall Come Out of Zion!
Psalm 110
"The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool.
2 The LORD shall send the rod of thy strength out of Zion: rule thou in the midst of thine enemies.
3 Thy people shall be willing in the day of thy power, in the beauties of holiness from the womb of the morning: thou hast the dew of thy youth.
4 The LORD hath sworn, and will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek.
5 The Lord at thy right hand shall strike through kings in the day of his wrath.
6 He shall judge among the heathen, he shall fill the places with the dead bodies; he shall wound the heads over many countries.
7He shall drink of the brook in the way: therefore shall he lift up the head."
Psalm 2:8-10
"8 Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession.
9 Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel.
10 Be wise now therefore, O ye kings: be instructed, ye judges of the earth."
Zechariah 12:6-8
"In that day will I make the governors of Judah like an hearth of fire among the wood, and like a torch of fire in a sheaf; and they shall devour all the people round about, on the right hand and on the left: and Jerusalem shall be inhabited again in her own place, even in Jerusalem." (FIRE speaks of God's Word. (See Psalm 104:4 and Jeremiah 23:29; Hosea 6:5) And wood speaks of the flesh of man and a sheaf is seen as a bundle of "wheat" seen in Bible symbols and a type as and or what is "likened" to people that are seen as wheat grain.)
The word torch of fire is seen in the Hebrew text as "the glory of God." (See Exodus 24:17)
7 The LORD also shall save the tents of Judah first, that the glory of the house of David and the glory of the inhabitants of Jerusalem do not magnify themselves against Judah."
The Tribe of Judah is seen as the Vanguard of the Lord's Army!
The tribe of Judah is seen as the "vanguard of the Lord's host" and what is seen as the end time Army of our God with Jesus Christ Our head and Captain of the Lord's host. --See Numbers chapter 2:1-4 and Numbers chapter 10:14 and of the placement of the whole camp and what are seen as the 12 tribes of Israel of all the sons and their tribe's placement in God's military camp as they his "troops" marched through the wilderness and unto WAR! Thus seen and what are all the 12 tribes of Israel and their placement as they marched in the Father's order! Our God is a God of order. Our God has orders and ranks but His the Father's SON Jesus Christ was the first to die and resurrect from the dead! And He Christ is the firstfruits with others to follow in their "order."
1 Corinthians 15:
20 "But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept.
21 For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead.
22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.
23 But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ's at his coming."
The word order in the Greek text has the meaning of - orderly in arrangement, a TROOP, a series of succession.
THE SEALING OF THE !2 TRIBES
(See all of the 12 tribes that are sealed with "the seal of the Living God" that are found in Revelation 7:1-8. If we take note here it is the tribe of Judah that is sealed first with the other sons sealed in their "order." It reads in Numbers chapter two when they the sons seen as "the camp" of Israel and it is that the "word camp" is seen as a military term here. They the whole camp of Israel marched in their order and went to WAR as well. For it was when the "clear trumpet of war" was sounded, It was as they the sons knew that they were to Go to WAR with the enemy. For when the war trumpet was sounded in the camp and that certain trumpet sound was heard by God's sons, it was that they know that "clear sounding pf the Lord's trumpet. And It was they knew very well when they heard that war trumpet as they were well trained and were experienced in warfare! -- And when they heard that certain sound that awakened them even out of their sleep if it was at night! -- They rose for the battle!
There are many "uncertain trumpet sounds" these days out there in the religious world of sounds and messages today out there. But the Lord says, "My sheep know my voice and a stranger they will not follow as they know the voice of the Good shepherd." When we God's sheep learn God's ways, we become more experienced in discerning the Lord's true trumpet Voice from the many voices of strange trumpet sounds! Paul’s' words here found 1 Corinthians 14:7-8.
1 Corinthians 14:7-8
"7 And even things without life giving sound, whether pipe or harp, except they give a distinction in the sounds, how shall it be known what is piped or harped?
8 For if the trumpet give an uncertain sound, who shall prepare himself to the battle?"
It was the tribe of Judah that "went forth first at the rising of the SUN'. For it was when the camp of the Lord went out to war and to battle the enemies of God. They rise and went forth unto the battle! See Numbers 2:1-5 and as it reads in Zechariah 12:6-8 that the tents of Judah "get the victory first" and are saved first and in the Amplified Bible Version it reads in Zechariah 12 that the governors of Judah get the victory first! The word "overcometh" in the scriptures found in the Book of the Revelation and what is seen as the manifestation of Jesus Christ as the word "overcometh" is found eight times in the Book of Revelation and the word "overcometh" and the words "conquer and conquering" found in Revelation 6:2 and is seen as the White Horse Rider have the same meaning of "Getting the victory and to subdue." So it is that the Sons of Zion get the victory first over the beastly nature as seen as the old man of our flesh! The Lord gave this word many, many years ago and I know it is a hard word to understand unless our "spiritual ears" are open to hear it. It has been hard as none seem to understand in what the Lord gives to write and teach from here as all this is a lot of "meat" and is only that it comes as the Word is "spiritually discerned" and is "quickened" unto the hungry hearts and seeker of truth for more of God.
The Lord also gave the scriptures that are found in Psalm 104:21-22 speaking of "the young lion's" as the son Judah is written of in Jacob's prophecy over his 12 sons as a lion's whelp. It was his father's prophecy over his 12 sons and that it was Jacob's son named Judah that is seen as a lion's whelp in Genesis 49:8-12. Jacob the father of all 12 sons of what is now seen as Israel and is telling his 12 sons what would befall them in the latter days in a prophecy over each son found Genesis chapter 49. For as they the sons of Jacob their father as they gathered unto him. It was that Jacob spoke this word of destiny in what was in prophecy over Jacob's 12 sons. The one son that was "named Judah." The meaning of Judah's name is seen as "the Praise of Jehovah." It was in Judah we see in being the forth son of Jacob and this was Judah's prophecy over him as his father spoke these words that are found in Genesis 49:8-12.
Genesis 49:8-12
"Judah, thou art he whom thy brethren shall praise: thy hand shall be in the neck of thine enemies; thy father's children shall bow down before thee."
9 Judah is a lion's whelp: from the prey, my son, thou art gone up: he stooped down, he couched as a lion, and as an old lion; who shall rouse him up?
10 The sceptre shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh come; and unto him shall the gathering of the people be.
(See Psalm 60:7)
11 Binding his foal unto the vine, and his ass's colt unto the choice vine; he washed his garments in wine, and his clothes in the blood of grapes:
12 His eyes shall be red with wine, and his teeth white with milk."
(Milk speaks of God's Word)
There are many prophets from this tribe and they are also seen as the ruling tribe and the van of the Lord's host and Joseph is the one that is given the birthright also seen in the Blessings said over all 12 sons by Moses found in Deuteronomy chapter 33.
Psalm 104-21-22
"The young lions roar after their prey, and seek their meat from God."
22 The sun ariseth, they gather themselves together, and lay them down in their dens."
Job speaks of them as well found in Job 4:11. "The old lion perisheth for lack of prey, and the stout lion's whelps are scattered abroad." The stout lion is seen as Jesus Christ of the Tribe of Judah-- but have we considered his whelps?
Isaiah speaks of them here as well.
Isaiah 5:21-30
"21 Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight!
22 Woe unto them that are mighty to drink wine, and men of strength to mingle strong drink: "
23 Which justify the wicked for reward, and take away the righteousness of the righteous from him!
24 Therefore as the fire devoureth the stubble, and the flame consumeth the chaff, so their root shall be as rottenness, and their blossom shall go up as dust: because they have cast away the law of the LORD of hosts, and despised the word of the Holy One of Israel.
25 Therefore is the anger of the LORD kindled against his people, and he hath stretched forth his hand against them, and hath smitten them: and the hills did tremble, and their carcases were torn in the midst of the streets. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.
26 And he will lift up an ensign to the nations from far, and will hiss unto them from the end of the earth: and, behold, they shall come with speed swiftly:
27 None shall be weary nor stumble among them; none shall slumber nor sleep; neither shall the girdle of their loins be loosed, nor the latchet of their shoes be broken:
28 Whose arrows are sharp, and all their bows bent, their horses' hoofs shall be counted like flint, and their wheels like a whirlwind:
(See Numbers 23:24; Psalm 45:1-5; Isaiah 66:13-16; Micah 4:10-12; Micah 5:1-2 and Jeremiah 51:33; Joel 2; Zechariah 9:12-17; Revelation 6:1-2.)
29 Their roaring shall be like a lion, they shall roar like young lions: yea, they shall roar, and lay hold of the prey, and shall carry it away safe, and none shall deliver it.
30 And in that day they shall roar against them like the roaring of the sea."
That is if we have a mind to understand as the Word is expounded upon and explained line upon line here a little and there a little. When the scriptures speak of in THAT day it is speaking of The Day of the Lord!
Zechariah 12:8 KJV
8 In that day shall the LORD defend the inhabitants of Jerusalem; and he that is feeble among them at that day shall be as David; and the house of David shall be as God, as the angel of the LORD before them."
Jesus is seen as that Angel of the Lord that is before them. As Jesus Christ is the captain of the Lord's end time hosts and is our only Spiritual Head! See Joel 2:1-11. And in Joel chapter three which also speaks of the Day of the Lord! It is that the Lord that shall "Roar" like a lion from his "spiritual end time Zion people! (See Zechariah 10:1-7 Amp V and if you can see this on Bible Gateway and pull up the Amp Version of Zechariah chapter 10 as it speaks of Judah as our God's goodly horse in the battle and the KJV says and reads here and is seen as the Lord's majestic horse in the battle. Where does it speaks of horses? The first seal in Revelation 6:1-2 speaks of the White horse rider with a crown and a bow and this rider goes forth conquering and to conquer! The word conquer and conquering in the Greek text in the N.T means --"to get the victory" and is the same meaning and Greek word for the word "overcometh" that is used eight times in the "Revealing"-- of Jesus Christ in the Book of the Revelation of Him who died for us! And then read (Ephesians chapter 2; Romans 2:28-29; Romans 9:6; Galatians 3:26-29; Hebrews 12:22-25)
The Day of the Lord is compared with the battle of what is seen as the battle of Jehoshaphat, (See 2 Chronicles chapter 20:20 for a start.)
Joel 3:1-17
"For, behold, in those days, and in that time, when I shall bring again the captivity of Judah and Jerusalem,
2 I will also gather all nations, and will bring them down into the valley of Jehoshaphat, and will plead with them there for my people and for my heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations, and parted my land.
3 And they have cast lots for my people; and have given a boy for an harlot, and sold a girl for wine, that they might drink.
4 Yea, and what have ye to do with me, O Tyre, and Zidon, and all the coasts of Palestine? will ye render me a recompence? and if ye recompense me, swiftly and speedily will I return your recompence upon your own head;
5 Because ye have taken my silver and my gold, and have carried into your temples my goodly pleasant things:
6 The children also of Judah and the children of Jerusalem have ye sold unto the Grecians, that ye might remove them far from their border.
7 Behold, I will raise them out of the place whither ye have sold them, and will return your recompence upon your own head:
8 And I will sell your sons and your daughters into the hand of the children of Judah, and they shall sell them to the Sabeans, to a people far off: for the LORD hath spoken it.
9 Proclaim ye this among the Gentiles; Prepare war, wake up the mighty men, let all the men of war draw near; let them come up:
10 Beat your plowshares into swords and your pruninghooks into spears: let the weak say, I am strong.
11 Assemble yourselves, and come, all ye heathen, and gather yourselves together round about: thither cause thy mighty ones to come down, O LORD. (See Revelation 18:11-18)
12 Let the heathen be wakened, and come up to the valley of Jehoshaphat: for there will I sit to judge all the heathen round about.
13 Put ye in the sickle, for the harvest is ripe: come, get you down; for the press is full, the fats overflow; for their wickedness is great. (See Revelation chapter 14:14 unto verse 20).
14 Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision: for the day of the LORD is near in the valley of decision.
15 The sun and the moon shall be darkened, and the stars shall withdraw their shining. (see Isaiah 13:3-13 and Joel 2:1-32)
16 The LORD also shall roar out of Zion, and utter his voice from Jerusalem; and the heavens and the earth shall shake: but the LORD will be the hope of his people, and the strength of the children of Israel. (See Haggai 2:4 and Hebrews 12:22-29)
17 So shall ye know that I am the LORD your God dwelling in Zion, my holy mountain: (See Psalm 78:67-68) then shall Jerusalem be holy, and there shall no strangers pass through her any more. (See Isaiah 4:2-6 and Isaiah 35:8 ---It is seen by the wayfaring men as the KING's HiGHWAY!)
18 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the mountains shall drop down new wine, and the hills shall flow with milk, and all the rivers of Judah shall flow with waters, and a fountain shall come forth out of the house of the LORD, and shall water the valley of Shittim.
19 Egypt shall be a desolation, and Edom shall be a desolate wilderness, for the violence against the children of Judah, because they have shed innocent blood in their land.
20 But Judah shall dwell for ever, and Jerusalem from generation to generation.
21 For I will cleanse their blood that I have not cleansed: for the LORD dwelleth in Zion."
Psalm 78:67-68 KJV
"Moreover he refused the tabernacle of Joseph, and chose not the tribe of Ephraim: 68But chose the tribe of Judah, the mount Zion which he loved."
Psalm 78:67-68 AMP V
"Moreover, He rejected the tent of Joseph and chose not the tribe of Ephraim [in which the tabernacle had been accustomed to stand].
68But He chose the tribe of Judah [as Israel's leader], Mount Zion, which He loved [to replace Shiloh as His capital]."
Micah 4
"But in the last days it shall come to pass, that the mountain of the house of the LORD shall be established in the top of the mountains, and it shall be exalted above the hills; and people shall flow unto it.
2 And many nations shall come, and say, Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, and to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for the law shall go forth of Zion, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem."
(See Genesis 49:8-12 of the prophecy of Jacob the father of all 12 sons of Israel as he said his prophecy over the and son of the tribe of Judah and then if you will see Moses' blessing over the 12 sons beginning with the Judah son found in Deuteronomy 33:7 and on of all the sons of Israel.)
3 And he shall judge among many people, and rebuke strong nations afar off; and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks: nation shall not lift up a sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.
4 But they shall sit every man under his vine and under his fig tree; and none shall make them afraid: for the mouth of the LORD of hosts hath spoken it.
For all people will walk every one in the name of his god, and we will walk in the name of the LORD our God for ever and ever.
6 In that day, saith the LORD, will I assemble her that halteth, and I will gather her that is driven out, and her that I have afflicted;" (See Psalm 147:3 and Hosea 6:1-3; Zephaniah 3:8-20 and compare Revelation 14:1-5)
7 And I will make her that halted a remnant, and her that was cast far off a strong nation: and the LORD shall reign over them in mount Zion from henceforth, even for ever.
8 And thou, O tower of the flock, the strong hold of the daughter of Zion, unto thee shall it come, even the first dominion; the kingdom shall come to the daughter of Jerusalem." " (The first dominion has the meaning of what is the "first authority to rule." This comes to the daughter of Zion.) and the kingdom shall come to the daughter of Jerusalem.
(There is a difference between the daughter of Zion and what is seen as the daughter of Jerusalem and most can't see that the law of the Lord goes forth from Zion seen as the governmental body of Jesus Christ seen as the Father's RIGHT hand of Government seen as the spiritual Zion people and what is also seen in "The Holy City and what is the "NEW Jerusalem" Church and Body of the "New Covenant" that is in and under the Blood of Jesus Christ. -- Please See Hebrews 12:22-25 and Revelation 21.)
9 Now why dost thou cry out aloud? is there no king in thee? is thy counsellor perished? for pangs have taken thee as a woman in travail."
10 Be in pain, and labour to bring forth, O daughter of Zion, like a woman in travail: for now shalt thou go forth out of the city, and thou shalt dwell in the field, and thou shalt go even to Babylon; there shalt thou be delivered; there the LORD shall redeem thee from the hand of thine enemies."
11 Now also many nations are gathered against thee, that say, Let her be defiled, and let our eye look upon Zion."
12 But they know not the thoughts of the LORD, neither understand they his counsel: for he shall gather them as the sheaves into the floor. (See Zechariah 9:11-17 and Zechariah 12:6-8.)
13 Arise and thresh, O daughter of Zion: (See Jeremiah 51:33 here as well for the time to thresh Babylon is seen as the "Her" who is seen by John as the religious system of man's order of things. The rider here seen in Revelation chapter 6:1-2 goes forth conquering and to conquer! See Revelation 6:17 and Revelation chapter 17 and 18 ---and as Her plagues come in one day!) for I will make thine horn iron, and thou shalt beat in pieces many people: (See Psalm 2:8-10 and Psalm 149:5-9 and 1 Corinthians 6:2) and I will consecrate their gain unto the LORD, and their substance unto the Lord of the whole earth."
(Horns speaks in the Bible language and in Bible symbols and types speak of power to rule.) and I will make thy hoofs brass: (Hoofs speak of Horse's hoofs and brass speaks in Bible language as is seen with the spiritual eye as and what is likened to a symbol of and as God's JUDGMENT that is coming from God Almighty himself through his Army of Joel... See chapter 2 of Joel 2:1-11. The prophet Joel sees and describes the Lord's White Horse Army of Revelation 6:1-2 and Psalm 45:1-5. It is the Lord's army that is seen as the first seal is opened in Revelation chapter 6:1-2 by the Great Lion of the tribe Judah that we see and John sees and writes is the Lord Jesus Christ himself! It is the first seal that is seen as the Lord's "White" horse army with Jesus Christ as the captain of the Lord's host goes forth! When? (See Hosea 6:3 and Isaiah 13:10) It is the first seal to be opened and is seen of all seven seals of Revelation chapter 5. The Army of God is seen and written of by the prophet Joel "as" or what is "likened" to horseman and chariots of FIRE!
Please see Psalm 104:3-4 here and Isaiah 66:14-16 following
"Who layeth the beams of his chambers in the waters: who maketh the clouds his chariot: who walketh upon the wings of the wind:
4 Who maketh his angels spirits; his ministers a flaming fire:"
Isaiah 66:14-16
"And when ye see this, your heart shall rejoice, and your bones shall flourish like an herb: and the hand of the LORD shall be known toward his servants, and his indignation toward his enemies.
15 For, behold, the LORD will come with fire, and with his chariots like a whirlwind, to render his anger with fury, and his rebuke with flames of fire."
(See Jeremiah 23:29; Joel 2:3-6 and Isaiah 13:3-13(Seen in the second coming and what is seen as the Lord's appearing in the day of the Lord's anger! See 2 Thessalonians 1:7-12 when he our Lord of Hosts is "revealed" from heaven and comes to be glorified IN his saints!)
Joel AMP V of Joel chapter 2 verses 1
"BLOW THE trumpet in Zion; sound an alarm on My holy Mount [Zion]. Let all the inhabitants of the land tremble, for the day of [the judgment of] the Lord is coming; it is close at hand."
Joel 2 KJV
"Blow ye the trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm in my holy mountain: let all the inhabitants of the land tremble: for the day of the LORD cometh, for it is nigh at hand;
2 A day of darkness and of gloominess, a day of clouds and of thick darkness, as the morning spread upon the mountains: a great people and a strong; there hath not been ever the like, neither shall be any more after it, even to the years of many generations.
3 A fire devoureth before them; and behind them a flame burneth: the land is as the garden of Eden before them, and behind them a desolate wilderness; yea, and nothing shall escape them.
4 The appearance of them is as the appearance of horses; and as horsemen, so shall they run.
5 Like the noise of chariots on the tops of mountains shall they leap, like the noise of a flame of fire that devoureth the stubble, as a strong people set in battle array.
(See Malachi 4:1-6)
6 Before their face the people shall be much pained: (See Isaiah 13:3-13) all faces shall gather blackness.
7 They shall run like mighty men; they shall climb the wall like men of war; and they shall march every one on his ways, and they shall not break their ranks:
8 Neither shall one thrust another; they shall walk every one in his path: and when they fall upon the sword, they shall not be wounded.
9 They shall run to and fro in the city; (See Amos 3:6-8; Ezekiel 9) they shall run upon the wall, they shall climb up upon the houses; they shall enter in at the windows like a thief. (See 1 Thessalonians chapter 5 and 2 Peter 3:10 and Revelation 3:3 and Revelation 16:15)
10 The earth shall quake before them; the heavens shall tremble: the sun and the moon shall be dark, and the stars shall withdraw their shining: (See Isaiah 13;10; Joel 2:30-32)
11 And the LORD shall utter his voice before his army: (See Joel 3:16-17) for his camp is very great: for he is strong that executeth his word: for the day of the LORD is great and very terrible; and who can abide it?
(See O.T Ezekiel 7; Ezekiel 30:1-2; Ezekiel 34:1-16; Isaiah 2:10-22 and Isaiah 13:3-13 and Amos 5:15-18; Joel 2 and Zephaniah 1:14-18; - the Book of Obadiah and Malachi 3:1-6 and Malachi chapter 4 and N.T 2 Thessalonians 2:7-9 and 2 Thessalonians 1:7-12; and Revelation 6:1-17 all these scriptures both Old and New Testaments are speaking clearly of the Day of the Lord's Appearing in flaming fire!)
12 Therefore also now, saith the LORD, turn ye even to me with all your heart, and with fasting, and with weeping, and with mourning:
13 And rend your heart, and not your garments, and turn unto the LORD your God: for he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and repenteth him of the evil.
14 Who knoweth if he will return and repent, and leave a blessing behind him; even a meat offering and a drink offering unto the LORD your God?
15 Blow the trumpet in Zion, sanctify a fast, call a solemn assembly:
16 Gather the people, sanctify the congregation, assemble the elders, gather the children, and those that suck the breasts: let the bridegroom go forth of his chamber, and the bride out of her closet. (See Psalm 19)
17 Let the priests, the ministers of the LORD, weep between the porch and the altar, and let them say, Spare thy people, O LORD, and give not thine heritage to reproach, that the heathen should rule over them: wherefore should they say among the people, Where is their God?
18 Then will the LORD be jealous for his land, and pity his people.
(See Psalm 102:13-22; Malachi 3:16-18)
19 Yea, the LORD will answer and say unto his people, Behold, I will send you corn, and wine, and oil, and ye shall be satisfied therewith: and I will no more make you a reproach among the heathen:
20 But I will remove far off from you the northern army, and will drive him into a land barren and desolate, with his face toward the east sea, and his hinder part toward the utmost sea, and his stink shall come up, and his ill savour shall come up, because he hath done great things.
21 Fear not, O land; be glad and rejoice: for the LORD will do great things.
22 Be not afraid, ye beasts of the field: for the pastures of the wilderness do spring, for the tree beareth her fruit, (See John 15:1-5) the fig tree and the vine do yield their strength.
23 Be glad then, ye children of Zion, and rejoice in the LORD your God: for he hath given you the former rain moderately, and he will cause to come down for you the rain, the former rain, and the latter rain in the first month. (See Deuteronomy 32:1-3; Hoesa 6:2-3 and James 5:7-8)
24 And the floors shall be full of wheat, and the vats shall overflow with wine and oil.
25 And I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten, the cankerworm, and the caterpiller, and the palmerworm, my great army which I sent among you.
26 And ye shall eat in plenty, and be satisfied, and praise the name of the LORD your God, that hath dealt wondrously with you: and my people shall never be ashamed.
27 And ye shall know that I am in the midst of Israel, and that I am the LORD your God, and none else: and my people shall never be ashamed.
28 And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions:
29 And also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out my spirit.
30 And I will shew wonders in the heavens and in the earth, blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke.
(See Song of Songs 3:6 and 6:10-12 and 8:5 and verse 8.)
31 The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and terrible day of the LORD come.
32 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the LORD shall be delivered: for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as the LORD hath said, and in the remnant whom the LORD shall call."
