A Time of Promises! Hello, Friends! Praise the Lord for everything that is coming together at this time - reminding us of so many prophetic warnings and signs! Be sure that you keep up with Timeline, as a reminder of the important geopolitical and prophetic milestones that are being reached over the next FEW days! Most eye-catching are the two dates that go with Israel's anniversary and Jerusalem's rebuilding. These do not tell us a day our hour - but they do tell us a time and season! Certainly, with many parallels of Israel's first return after seventy years, we also expect major prophetic chapter-changes here within this time of the 71st year (which follows after 70 years were full). Certainly, the "Deal of the Century" peace deal/discussions, etc. are still constantly in the news at this same time! There is so much 'on the table' for us to be considering, right now! And it's Springtime - when we are expecting our Beloved (Songs 2:10-13)! "My beloved spake, and said unto me, Rise up, my love, my fair one, and come away. For, lo, the winter is past, the rain is over and gone; the flowers appear on the earth; the time of the singing of birds is come, and the voice of the turtle is heard in our land; the fig tree putteth forth her green figs, and the vines with the tender grape give a good smell. Arise, my love, my fair one, and come away." We are also in the small window of time between Ascension (May 2) and Pentecost (May 11) - both reminders of when He left to prepare a place, with the promise to return). Pentecost (Shavuot) was when the Holy Spirit - The Comforter - was sent as a reminder and earnest [a pledge] of His promise to return (II Cor 5:5; Eph 1:14)!! The Holy Spirit, in many ways, serves as an engagement ring, reminding us of the coming day when He returns for us! Two powerful reminders right here at this time!! In the Springtime, too! For those who are new to this channel, and may be wondering about the calendar timing, I would recommend our PDF, Understanding God's Celestial Clock, which explains the differences between the seven major calendar systems out there (the rabbinical calendar is only one). We follow the only calendaring method that lines up with the Biblical requirements spelled out in Scripture - and (very importantly) actually works in the real world, keeping the firstfruit appointed times right when the agricultural firstfruits are actually ready (which was required). On the Timeline, around the beginning of March 2019, we have a few photos and notes verifying the agricultural seasons. Understanding God's requirements - and how agriculture in the real world works - is vital for understanding true firstfruit times and counts that stem from them (i.e. for Shavuot/Pentecost). All of this can be seen on the Timeline, too. Right now, at this high watch time, the Lord has had me busy making final preparations at the Brook Cherith - stocking, organizing, tweaking, and maximizing. Praise the Lord for all that He has prepared, leading to this time - and how He has been especially working over the past few weeks, here! So much is telling me that this ministry preparation is about to be put into full, active service. Certainly, prophetically, we soberly consider the ever present warnings of peace and safety mean that sudden destruction is coming to this world. Yet, it is seeing the Lord work in projects such as this, that we see that His hand of mercy, love, and calling will still be bringing many souls to Him during that time. May He use this corner of His vineyard - and the labors of all the servants who have helped plant and water - to bring forth fruit for His Kingdom, and for His eternal glory. In my last post, I mentioned that my personal goal was to have the renovations functional by Ascension Day; but the scope of what the Lord is doing requires a bit more time for all of these changes to be functional. The Lord reminded me that this maximizing project is literally the same square footage as our entire Patient Wing!! This has involved a LOT of site prep, getting it ready for what is going to go here. Thankfully, about 50% of the site prep and platforms are done and ready; with the remainder not taking much time to complete (all of the hard stuff is done). A lot of things had to be moved around just to even start work in these areas. Part of the time also involves recuperating. :-P Praise the Lord for safety, wisdom, strength, and liberty for what He is doing! Thank you for your prayers - it makes a huge difference! Praise the Lord, the major functions of the clinic are functional and accessible, even with this construction zone right near an important intersection. Lord willing, once we can get the tents and accoutrements, they will go up extremely quickly. Until then, at least the platforms are usable, too. Please continue to keep this project in prayer, especially for provision, strength, and liberty! Let us occupy till He comes - shining bright, especially when we know He is nigh, even at the door! We see the day and time reminding us of the promises made by our Beloved - let us live actively in light of those promises! I'm looking up on tippytoes, and praying for you all, too! Maranatha!! Brother Daniel II Cor 5:1-5 |
