Wars and Rumors of Wars

 

The entire Middle East is currently engulfed in war. All my life, it's been one Middle East war after another. It has always grieved my heart to consider the families who just want to raise their children in peace. Most of the victims of any war are the innocent citizens who happen to live in the war zone. We normally get an accounting of the military personnel who have perished, but not really the citizenry. Did these families choose this? Doubtful, for sure. 

Those of us who watch the news for end times prophecy events, ask ourselves each time: is this the one that ushers in the prophecies? Is this the Oholah/ Ohoibah event? Ezekiel 23 From my perspective it doesn't appear the leadership in Israel consider this scenario playing out at all. They fully expect to come out the victor. But what if they're wrong? Will Christians all over the earth loose faith? Most of them don't expect the Oholibah scenario either. 

Has Jerusalem been leveled before? Has this prophecy been fulfilled in the past? Well, yeah, twice before. The Babylonians and the Romans, both have destroyed that great city. So you see,  prophecy can be cyclical.  It's not simply a one and done deal. 

As the death toll rises, my heart is so grieved. A school was hit on the first day, as of last account 165 little school girls died. How can a Godly nation find the death of the innocent acceptable? I simply cannot wrap my head around it. I know the blood of the innocent cries out to the Most High for justice. All of the innocent,  regardless of the country in which they reside. 

We keep our eye on Israel as directed by scripture. Luke  19:43-44, 21:20 Mark 13:14 Jeremiah 9: 10-12 We pray diligently for our brothers and sisters, we pray for peace in Jerusalem and around the world. And we know,  Yahusha/Jesus is that peace. Those that study end times prophecy expect there to be wars and chaos before the return of our Messiah, yet war is painful to observe.  My husband reminds me of this when I get upset over what's going on.  But I also know a heart that grieves over abominations and the killing of the innocent is marked as His own. Ezekiel 9:4

Come Quickly Yahusha, we need you. 

Simply a work in progress

Something is Askew

Image
  On June 13th I woke up with a gut feeling I haven't been able to dismiss. At first it was something I "felt" but couldn't see. It was in my peripheral vision. Like a word on the tip of your tongue, but you just can't recall it. It was a few hours before I was aware of Israel moving against Iran. But knowing what happened didn't dismiss that feeling of something wasn't right.  I hear voices from all sides, yet none of those give me comfort. Today is the 17th and things are happening quite quickly.  Clearly many things are askew, but still the gut feeling persists. I sense there is a trick I must watch out for. When our focus is in one area, screwy stuff is happening elsewhere.  I know my Rock,  Yahusha, and I'm not afraid,  but I feel like I'm being cautioned.  Feelings don't really account for much overall, they can ebb and flow as the tide, change like the wind. My foundation of understanding must be secured to the Word of Yah, my Bible. Hav...

What Being Poor Taught Me

Image
  Throw back Pic from 1985 I am so glad I have had the experience of being poor. I learned to be resourceful,  creative, and self reliant. I can feed a lot on a little and make it taste good.  I learned about natural, aka alternative, medicine. We couldn't afford doctors or pharmaceuticals. I learned what is important and necessary and what is not. I learned I can survive off what I can carry in a backpack.  Most things are just extra baggage.  I learned to be thankful for each day's provision. When I was 20 I was homeless, living out of my car at Lake Parsons near Parsons Kansas. We, Johnny Bill and I, ate all the fish we could catch and some nice folks gave us eggs. I never ate so many eggs in my whole life.  For a few years after this,  I didn't eat eggs at all.  Same with PB&J, during my first pregnancy I ate PB&J every day. Someone gave me commodity peanut butter, a huge can of it.  I didn't let it go to waste.   I lear...

One-Liner Verses

Image
I have noticed how we, as Bible believing Christians, are quick with one-liner verses. We have scripture memorized, stored in our hearts, and freely throw them into conversation. Sometimes very much out of context. "he who is without sin, cast the first stone", "judge not", "don't let anyone judge you by what you eat, or drink", "I can do all things thru Christ who strengthens me". Each of these phrases, and many others like them,  show up in specific stories, with specific meaning for that situation. Not to be thrown into any and every conversation. Yet it happens. I have also noticed how, many of us, as Bible believing Christians, operate under the assumption that each word written in Scripture is directed to  us. Not true. These words were many times for specific people, under specific circumstances, with a specific purpose. Something from which we can glean understanding and deeper insight, but not direct instructions for us. But if we do...
