JBBingo 2023 -- Quiet Hollow

Trying to help out his sister leaves Ezra conflicted and concerned. Can be found under the same title on ao3

Written for @julybreakbingo Prompt; "Listen, Let me Explain" and Can't Feel Pain

CW; Self harm, Implied Abuse,

_

The door was still closed. Ezra had gone past the bathroom twice already, hearing water running and just assuming it was the shower. This last time it had passed half an hour, and while it wasn’t uncommon for his sister to lose track of time, usually the change of routine was meant to help that.

He knocked at the door. “Addy? Is everything okay?”

Just like that the water cut, and there was the sound of fumbling around before her response came. “Yes yes, uh, can you come in? I need an extra hand.”

Stomach sinking, Ezra opened the door.

Adeline was fully dressed, even a house coat thrown over her shoulders. Her hand was wrapped in one of the towels, and there was fog on the windows and pink in her cheeks from the big water.

Ezra frowned. "Is everything okay?"

"Kinda… I was trying to wash a cut on my hand and it might've gotten carried away." She shrugged. 

He held his hand out. “Let me see, maybe I can help?” 

She hesitated. “It doesn’t look… You can’t freak out.”

“It was just an accident, right?”

Reluctantly, she turned over her hand for him to examine. He expected something like a slash on her finger, maybe even a gash in her palm, but pulling back the towel he had no idea what he was looking at. Most of the bleeding was stopped by then, or at least her hand was too pruned to show clearly. Her skin had puckered in small, almost craters, throughout most of her fingers, with one particularly gnarly spot between her thumb and forefinger.

“I said don’t--I can explain!” She insisted, watching his face drop. “It was a sewing accident--”

“How?” He stopped her from curling her fist, worried she’d cause more damage. “This is bad, maybe Grandpa needs to see--”

Addy snatched her hand back and crossed her arms. “It’s fine. It doesn't even hurt! It was just a little needle.”

Ezra sucked in a breath and gently tugged her hand back for a closer look. “A needle?”

“Mhm. I was sewing, like I said.” Her eyes darted over his shoulder, keeping watch for their grandfather, before she continued. “The needle kept getting stuck when I tried pushing it through. I thought it was dull, so I tried to sharpen it and tried testing it on my fingers.”

“Tried.” He repeated, looking over the pinpricks she’d poked into all her fingers.

She nodded. “I didn’t notice it, so I just kept trying. I didn’t realize I was poking so hard, it didn’t feel like anything.”

The wound in her hand didn’t look like something “poking” could do, unless she was using the most force possible. Ezra was sorely tempted to say something to their Grandfather, worried it was something to do with Addy’s medications being too strong or too weak or too something. She wasn’t supposed to be hurting herself and God forbid she was supposed to be doing so without notice. It would be better to do something, wouldn’t it? 

It was worrying to the point of an awful headache,

It… probably wouldn’t do much. As she stared at him all that really came to mind was how bad of an idea it was. What help would getting her in trouble do?

“Okay,” he relented, and he felt the headache leave him just as the tension dropped from his sister’s hand. “I can get a first aid kit and wrap it up, and I just won’t say anything. Deal?”

Despite something dimming in her eyes, she smiled and nodded. “Deal!”

[hellojulie1971]

Unregenerate pagans have no alternative but to use their carnal minds by doing what seems right and good. Therefore, God warned His people to avoid that leaven by not marrying dogs (Dt 7:3-5). However, because He takes human wives He allowed His people to marry pagan women. But in order to protect His church from the leaven that might be introduced by strange wives, the Lord issued certain guidelines concerning them (Ex 34:11-16; Nu 31:14-18; Dt 18:9-14; 21:10-13). As wise as King Solomon was and as much as he loved the Lord, he failed to control his pagan wives, and their leaven of Peor turned his heart away from properly serving God (1 Ki 11:3,4). Solomon then did something evil (1 Ki 11:6): He officially established religious toleration/freedom of religion in his kingdom (vv.7,8)! We’ve already reviewed other carnal ideas that seem “good” when examined with no consideration for the Bible, and we’ve seen some of them were fairly subtle. But if you were the King of Israel, the son of King David, and the Lord had appeared to you twice (v.9) do you think you’d be stupid enough to establish freedom of religion?! No, you say? Do you think you’re smarter or wiser than Solomon? Solomon’s mistakes show carnality is no respecter of wisdom and intelligence. And when we consider his actions realistically we must conclude that some combination of socio-political factors convinced Solomon and many others that religious freedom was a good idea. God’s anger (v.9), however, makes us realize that no matter how pressing life around us may seem, we must be careful to always through discernment consider the will of God as revealed in the Bible. God was so angry He decided to divide the kingdom (vv.11-13), but because of His love for David, He did it not in Solomon’s day, He waited until the reign of Solomon’s son, Rehoboam. Jeroboam and the congregation of Israel approached King Rehoboam one day with a democratic ultimatum: Reduce their tax burden or they wouldn’t serve him (1 Ki 12:4). King Rehoboam sought two sets of advice. One group told him to preserve unity by becoming a democratic public servant (v.7), and the other group said, “These willful spoiled brats need a heavier rod” (vv.10,11). God caused Rehoboam to reject democracy (v.15). So the people of Israel (like the British colonists in America in 1776) declared their independence from their king (v.16), murdered the king’s tax man (v.18), and rebelled (v.19). Ordinarily King Rehoboam would have been right to go to war and punish the rebels (v.21), but God stopped him (v.24) because He wanted the kingdom split. God’s people rising in rebellion against their king does not establish rebellion as a legitimate method of social or political change: Jeroboam is a type of Lucifer, his fellow Christians are types of the angels who joined the rebellion, and rebellion is always witchcraft (1 Sa 15:23). This rebellion was God’s punishment for His people. God also uses Satan (and other devils) to tempt and to punish Christians (Jb 1:8; 1 Sa 16:14; 2 Sa 24:1; 1 Ch 21:1), but that doesn’t make Satan good. And Daniel was a eunuch (Da 1:7-11,18) because God was punishing His people (2 Ki 20:18), but that doesn’t mean you should be castrated, too. When the twelve tribes of God’s people were split into two houses or kingdoms, the major portion of the congregation of Israel – the northern ten tribes – was called the kingdom of Israel, and the southern kingdom was called Judah (1 Ki 11:37,38; 12:16,17,20,23). It was later, during the reign of King Ahaz of Judah (2 Ki 16:1), when Syria and Israel were at war with Judah (2 Ki 16:5), that the people of Ju-dah were called “Jews” (2 Ki 16:6). The division of God’s people into two kingdoms was punishment for their apostasy. God continued to keep them as His people but His patience was wearing thin. In fact, it was only because of His covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob that God had not cast them from His presence “as yet” (2 Ki 13:23). As we shall see, the “as yet” means exactly what it says – the time was coming when He would cast them away from Him. He ran out of patience with Israel first. He had tried to get both kingdoms to repent, but to no avail (2 Ki 17:13,14). So He rejected His people of Israel and cast them out (Ho 1:4,6,9; 2 Ki 17:18,20,23). He kept the people of Judah even though they also were bad (2 Ki 17:18,19; Ho 1:7). Judah had some good moments (2 Ki 18:1,3), but God warned future punishment was coming (2 Ki 20:16-18; 21:12-15). In spite of these warnings God’s people continued in their carnal ways “till there was no remedy” (2 Ch 36:16). God cursed the kingdom of Judah by having it defeated and taken into the Babylonian captivity. God used pagan King Nebuchadnezzar as His servant (Je 25:9; 27:6) to punish and to bring evil (Je 25:29) upon the Jews in accordance with His wishes (2 Ki 24:3). (Interestingly enough, at the end of seventy years of having Judah captive, God would punish Babylon for doing evil to His people (Je 25:12)! It goes to show it doesn’t matter if your name is Satan, Balaam, or Nebuchadnezzar; you don’t mess with God’s people and get away with it – even if He is using you to punish them.) RETURN TO JERUSALEM When Judah was allowed to return to Jerusalem, Ezra, Nehemiah, and Malachi were leaders during the rebuilding of the city. They speak of God’s people disobeying His orders that they should not marry pagans, and they record the putting away of the pagan women they had married during their captivity (Ezr 9:1-10:44; Ne 13:1-3,23-31). Through the prophet Malachi, God rebukes them: Mal 2:9 says they were partial in the law; 2:10 says they dealt treacherously against their brethren; 2:11 says they had married heathen women of other religions; and Ne 13:23,24 says they did not require them to speak the Jews’ language. But Mal 2:16 says God hates putting away and knew His people were just trying to cloak their own sins by putting away their wives. So He warned them not to deal treacherously. 2:17 says they wearied God by claiming the evil of their disobedient marriages was good in His eyes; or, knowing they were being hypocrites they said in their hearts “God won’t do anything about this.” Once God’s people were reestablished in Jerusalem they continued to err. Some of their misdeeds I’ll cover in the doctrinal section, but for now I think it’s fitting to see how God’s people closed the Old Testament era with another democratic act: When Jesus Christ was arrested by His people He was tried by the pagan governor of Judaea, Pontius Pilate. Pilate announced to the assembled Christians three times that he had found no fault in Christ and would therefore chastise and release Him (Lk 23:13-22). But the voice of the people cried out that they wanted Barabbas released, and that they did not want Christ chastised – they wanted Him crucified. The will of the people prevailed (Lk 23:23) and Pilate did as the people required (v.24) and delivered Christ to their will (v.25). The carnal mind had reared its ugly “head” again. And by the time of Christ’s First Coming carnality had picked up another synonym to describe it: Previously it was referred to as carnality, doing what was right in your own eyes, living by your own inventions, living by your own counsel, the whoredom of Peor, the leaven of the Pharisees, the doctrine of devils, etc. Now it was also called philosophy (Co 2:8). We need to realize none of the mistakes mentioned in this and in the previous chapters was committed by stupid Christians. Saints who thought they were serving the Lord committed them, saints who were no different from you and me. These mistakes were made because the realities and events of everyday life caused our brethren to take their eyes off Christ and the Bible and instead to focus on the events themselves. We must never allow that to happen. We must always have some part of our minds objectively analyzing events in order to find and understand the Biblical concepts and principles behind them. And then we must have what it takes to walk by faith, not by sight. You and I have already used some of the events in the Bible to develop and practice our ability to objectively and Scripturally evaluate the actions of Old Testament saints. We are not condemning them; we are learning from them. As we move through the rest of the chapters in this section we shall continue practicing discernment by Scripturally evaluating the actions of Christians about whom we have read in our studies of world history. We are going to see why they made the decisions they made and see if we think they were the Biblically correct decisions, and in the process gain a better understanding of world history from a Christian perspective.  By the time you finish this book you will understand how important it is for us to use discernment because you will see how the worldshaping errors of our carnal Christian ancestors down through history compounded and produced Western civilization and the unscriptural doctrines in our so-called “Bible-believing, Bible-preaching, Bible-teaching” churches.

Amightywind prophecy #132

Prophecy 132 Israel I Love You, I Rebuke You!

Written/Spoken under the Anointing of the HOLY SPIRIT (RUACH HA KODESH)

Through Apostle & Prophet Elisheva Eliyahu

Received July 16 – Released on Simchat Torah October 25, 2016

This Prophecy came forth live and in real time during Shabbat morning service July 16, 2016 with Ezra & Elisheva’s spiritual sons & daughters (Jl 2:27-32; Acts 2:17-22) after reading the Torah parsha/portion (Nm 19:1-22:1) & haftarah (Jgs 11:1-33), along with Prophecy 63, Oh Israel Where is Your Blood Sacrifice? originally given to Elisheva Eliyahu September 16, 2002.

Below is the Prophecy as it came forth

with Prophet Elisheva’s “Holy tongues,” as GOD’S SPIRIT gives utterance (Acts 2:3-4) of heavenly or earthly languages (1 Co 13:1). Elisheva speaks forth in tongues bringing Prophecy (1 Co 14:6).

It contains the HEBREW NAMES of GOD:

YAH / YAHUVEH is GOD’S HOLY, SACRED NAME as in “Alleluia” or “Hallelu YAH”. Which literally means “Praise YAH”: YAHUVEH / YAHWEH is GOD THE FATHER; YAHUSHUA / YAHSHUA is GOD’S ONLY BEGOTTEN SON(HA MASHIACH means “THE MESSIAH”; ELOHIM means “GOD.”)

The Revelation of “SH’KHINYAH GLORY” as the PERSONAL NAME of RUACH HA KODESH, (in English The HOLY SPIRIT), is also on this site. (HA SH’KHINAH {SHEKINAH} is Hebrew for GOD’S ABIDING, DIVINE PRESENCE.)

Additionally, ABBA YAH means “FATHER YAH” and IMMAYAH means “MOTHER YAH.”

Scripture quotes are KJV or NKJV unless otherwise indicated. Right click footnote numbers to open a second tab.

YAHUVEH’S Words to Elisheva to be added before the Prophecies:

I warned you a long time ago Elisabeth [Elisheva], not to name this Ministry after a man or a woman. Even before there was a Ministry, I put it in your spirit.

For none of this has been done by your hands. None of this has come forth from your mouth.

It is from the Mouth of YAHUVEH that has given birth. It is from the Mouth of YAHUSHUA, your MASHIACH, that it has been given birth. It is from the Mouth of the RUACH HA KODESH, your IMMAYAH, that it has been given birth.

If it had only been by your hand, it would have failed long ago.

It is by the SHKHINYAH GLORY’S WIND that blows across this earth, the HOLY WIND OF REVIVAL. It is not by your breath, or it would have failed.

?I AM the LORD YAHUVEH: that is MY NAME: And MY GLORY I will not give to another, Neither MY PRAISE to graven images.? Isaiah 42:8

(Prophecy 105)

In July 2010, YAHUVEH GOD also said to add the following as a warning to those who mock:

But they mocked the Messengers of GOD, despised HIS Words, and scoffed at HIS Prophets, until the Wrath of YAHUVEH arose against HIS People, till there was no remedy. ?2 Chronicles 36:16

Then, in July 2016:

Woe be unto anyone that dares to try to harm?these two anointed ones. You will regret the day you ever were born. Touch not MY anointed and neither do these two Prophets any harm (see Ps 105:15; 1 Ch 16:22). It would be better for you if I, ABBA YAHUVEH, would tear out your tongue!

(Prophecy 128)

And from Prophet Ezra:

I warn you all?those who are coming against this Ministry AND THESE PROPHECIES and Elisheva and I, all the Ministers of AmightyWind Ministry?I warn you now, ?Touch not YAH’S Anointed and do HIS Prophets no harm? (Ps 105:15; 1 Ch 16:22) lest the Wrath of the Rod of YAH come upon you. But for those who are blessed and are a blessing for this Ministry, and faithful, and who receive the Prophecies, much blessing will come on you?all to protect what belongs to YAH in the NAME OF YAHUSHUA.

This was recorded via audio/video. Here is the transcription.

[ All pray in Holy tongues; Justin blows shofar horn, then Ezra; the devil is bound and congregation wars in prayer (Ro 8:26)… ]

Elisheva: Thank YOU, thank YOU. I thank YOU… We ask for the gift of the interpretation of tongues (Is 28:11; 1 Cor 12:10; 14:13) right now of what James spoke [in tongues]. Does any[one]-James do you know? What is the Word that was spoken forth? If anyone hears it, let us know.

Romans 8:26 The SPIRIT also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the SPIRIT itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.

Isaiah 28:11 For with stammering lips and another tongue will HE speak to this people.

1 Corinthians 12:7-10 The manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal. For to one is given by the Spirit […] divers kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues.

1 Corinthians 14:13 […] let him that speaketh in an unknown tongue pray that he may interpret.

James: Before I was speaking in tongues, when I heard you said you had a Word and then we started praying, I heard the Words as the shofar was being blown: “Hear O Israel.” [Emphasis on] “Hear,” you know.

Christina: I heard…I was hearing [from Heaven] Mom. I heard “Israel where is your blood sacrifice?” (Lv 17:11) at one point and then another point, I heard, “MY BLOOD drenches the soil in Israel”

Leviticus 17:11 For the life of the flesh is in the blood: and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls: for it is the blood that maketh an atonement for the soul.

Elisheva: Amen. I want to see your face when you say that because this is going to be before the world. This is a Prophecy that’s going before the world. Alright, say it again.

Christina: I heard “Israel, where is your blood sacrifice?” at one point and at another point, I heard “MY BLOOD drenches the soil in Israel.”

Elisheva: Amen! That’s what’s overwhelming me right now. I don’t know how I can even speak forth the Words-the grief that YAHUSHUA feels. Does anyone else hear anything?-before Ezra prays in Holy tongues that are actually, actually “the Wrath of the LAMB.”

Ezra: James is gonna repeat what he says because [he wasn’t on camera]…

Elisheva: Alright James.

James: Yeah. Just as we were praying in the beginning I heard the Words “Hear O Israel” as if a Message was about to be given forth. So just wanted to share that.

Elisheva: Thank you.

Rosie! What did you hear Rosie? For some reason I felt led for you to pray for me.

Rosie: I was just…I didn’t hear anything specific to the Word Momma, but I was just seeing how-when everyone was praying, I was seeing how-angels were coming down. And I was actually seeing them bind up demons like all around us.

Elisheva: Thank you. Thank you. Yes.

Ezra: Praise GOD!

Stephen: Amen.

James: Praise YAH!

Elisheva: Thank YOU, ABBA YAHUVEH. [Prays in Holy tongues] I don’t know how many know this. But they’re going to know this right now as this is let loose-and everyone’s going to know (who [are] the reprobate enemies that’s trying to destroy-this enemy [that is] trying silence this Prophet): my beloved-Apostle, Prophet Ezra from Israel-he now has been given the Anointing of the ‘Wrath of the LAMB tongues’.2

(That is YAHUSHUA that comes again when the people will say, the reprobate will say, “Oh Mountains fall on us, hide us from HE WHO SITS ON THE THRONE and from the Wrath of the LAMB” [Rv 6:16-17]).2 And this is how close we are right now to the Great Tribulation beginning.

And [earlier] when I heard that Prophecy [63] that was given to me in 2002 [I began to hear more from Heaven]-there had never been a more anointed reading of it than what Justin did [earlier, during this meeting], but I don’t even believe that’s even in my voice anywhere… that was just… it wasn’t… it was so long ago, I wasn’t doing audios at that time or there are very few)-and so [before I speak forth this new Prophecy] Ezra you are to pray with those tongues that’s gonna make the demons go running in 7 different directions and they fear when you pray. And we know that.

Ezra: Yes, and Justin wants to say something.

Elisheva: Yes. Yes, darling Justin.

Justin: I hear the Anointing speak to me, say[ing],

Prophetic Word:

Israel you’ve not heard the Words of MY Prophets. It was prophesied in Isaiah and it’s prophesied in all-all the Old Testament that YAHUSHUA would come and Israel did not hear, and did not listen to the Words of the Prophets. And that’s when the PROPHET OF PROPHETS came, YAHUSHUA. They did not receive HIM.

And Israel must know the Word of YAHUVEH and they must know the Words of the Prophets and they must know the Torah and they must believe and receive that YAHUSHUA is the MESSIAH and the SON OF YAH.

End of Word.

Justin: So that’s it.

Ezra: Amen.

Elisheva: Thank you. [ Ezra prays in Wrath of the LAMB tongues ] Thank YOU. Thank YOU! Thank YOU! HallleluYAH! Thank YOU. [Prays in Holy tongues…]

Prophecy 132 Begins:

Shabbat – July 16, 2016. Video begins here.

Again I say unto you oh Israel as you approach the Time of Jacob’s Trouble (Jr 30:7), the Sorrow of Sorrows (Mt 24:8-9), know ye not when I wept tears of blood (hematidrosis , Lk 22:44), I wept for you!

Jeremiah 30:7 Alas! for that day is great, so that none is like it: it is even the time of Jacob’s trouble, but he shall be saved out of it.

Matthew 24: 7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. 8 All these are the beginning of sorrows. 9 Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for MY NAME’S Sake.

Luke 22:44 And being in an agony HE prayed more earnestly: and HIS sweat was as it were great drops of blood falling down to the ground.

You do all the traditions. You are faithful to Shabbat. You are faithful to the Jewish feasts. You read the Torah. Yet in your own Torah, I AM there; Moshe speaks of ME (Dt 18:15 etc.), I AM there!

Deuteronomy 18: 15-19

15 YAHUVEH thy GOD will raise up unto thee a PROPHET from the midst of thee, of thy brethren, like unto me; unto HIM ye shall hearken.

16 According to all that thou desiredst of YAHUVEH thy GOD in Horeb in the day of the assembly, saying, Let me not hear again the voice of YAHUVEH MY GOD, neither let me see this great fire any more, that I die not.

17 And YAHUVEH said unto me, They have well spoken that which they have spoken.

18 I will raise them up a PROPHET from among their brethren, like unto thee, and will put my words in HIS Mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him.

19 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever will not hearken unto my words which he shall speak in MY NAME, I will require it of him.

I wept tears of BLOOD for you oh Israel and that wasn’t enough. I proved MY Love. As I was crucified-not only for the sins of all the world (for those who would receive that BLOOD at Calvary) but oh Israel, I chose your soil-MY BLOOD was poured out for you! Because I love you!

Oh I weep and I travail. For Scriptures will be fulfilled and the blood will come up to the horses’ bridle (Is 63:3; Rv 14:20)!

Isaiah 63:3 I have trodden the winepress alone; and of the people there was none with ME: for I will tread them in MINE Anger, and trample them in MY Fury; and their blood shall be sprinkled upon MY Garments, and I will stain all MY Raiment. 4 For the Day of Vengeance is in MINE Heart, and the year of MY redeemed is come.

Revelation 14:19 And the angel thrust in his sickle into the earth, and gathered the vine of the earth, and cast it into the great winepress of the Wrath of GOD. 20 And the winepress was trodden without the city, and blood came out of the winepress, even unto the horse bridles, by the space of a thousand and six hundred furlongs.

Oh Israel!

The world turns on you-even that that was the only one you could call your friend, the United States of America-betray you again and again! You are not the terrorists and yet those who are the terrorists accuse you.

I, YAHUSHUA, weep for you!

You heard the Prophecy [63] given in 2002 by MY Prophet Elijah of New, but now oh Israel in 2016 the spirit of Eliyahu and the spirit of Moshe join together! This is to show you the fullness of the Anointing.

And from henceforth, to all those who receive YAHUSHUA, I YAHUSHUA’S BLOOD spilled at Calvary for the remission of your sins so your prayers can be heard to your ABBA YAHUVEH, I tell you this: study not just the Prophets of Old but study the Prophets Prophecies spoken forth from Elisheva Eliyahu.

For there is now more Anointing when [these two] Apostles, Prophets join together-not just Ministries but their hearts and their souls join together-it’s symbolic too: I, YAHUSHUA, joining with you!

Oh Israel!

I do not want to have to do what I have to do! Come to ME! Oh Bride of Israel! Raise up now! Come to ME! I long for you! Come to ME! For I’ve waited so long-with every Torah portion-“seek and ye shall find” (Jer 29:13-14; Mt 7:7; Lk 11:5), a Prophecy given through this Elisheva Eliyahu.

Jeremiah 29: 11-14 11For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith YAHUVEH, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end. 12Then shall ye call upon ME, and ye shall go and pray unto ME, and I will hearken unto you. 13And ye shall seek ME, and find ME, when ye shall search for ME with all your heart. 14And I will be found of you, saith YAHUVEH: and I will turn away your captivity, and I will gather you from all the nations, and from all the places whither I have driven you, saith YAHUVEH; and I will bring you again into the place whence I caused you to be carried away captive.

Matthew 7:7-12 (see also Luke 11:5-13) 7Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: 8For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened. 9Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone? 10Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent? 11If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your FATHER WHICH IS IN HEAVEN give good things to them that ask HIM? 12Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the Law and the Prophets.

Oh Israel!

Again I say where is your blood sacrifice? The ‘Sorrows of Sorrows’ is nearly upon you! You see the world. They turn and they mock you. They cut your financial lifeline.

Oh but Israel!

I desire to bless you! I will never leave nor forsake you (Dt 31:6; Heb 13:5) if you just claim ME! Claim that BLOOD that was shed for you at Calvary! None of this Torah reading can save you! You have such beautiful ways that you honor ABBA YAHUVEH but you need an INTERCESSOR (Is 64:6)!

Deuteronomy 31:6 Be strong and of a good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them: for the LORD thy God, he it is that doth go with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.

Hebrews 13:5 Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.

Isaiah 64:6 But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.

None are worthy to come before the ABBA YAH’S Throne except in MY-YAHUSHUA your MASHIACH’S-NAME! I paid the PRICE for you at Calvary! All have sinned and fell short of ABBA YAH’S Glory (Ro 3:23; Ec 7:20)! None are perfect (Ps 130:3)!

Romans 3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of GOD

Ecclesiastes 7:20 For there is not a just man upon earth, that doeth good, and sinneth not.

Psalm 130:3 If thou, YAHUVEH, shouldest mark iniquities, O ADONAI, who shall stand?

I came to you! I ministered to you! The signs and wonders, the miracles are only a very fraction even recorded there [in the Bible]. I raised the dead!

Oh Israel, come to ME. I weep for you. I weep for you!

And this Ministry now is beginning, just beginning to walk in the fullness of the Anointing. For truly it began on March 7, 2016. Where the devil mocked and said “Elisheva Eliyahu’s Ministry is finished. AmightyWind is finished” for she lived with a “Judas” [Iscariot] (Ish-Kariyot, Mk 3:19, also Acts 1:16-) for 7 years and knew it not-oh, but on that day, I had a man of YAH-

Mark 3:19 And Judas Iscariot, which also betrayed HIM: and they went into an house.

-oh, but on that day, I had a man of YAH.

And on that March 7, there he was in Israel. And he had just picked up IMMAYAH’S books. And the Anointing was all over him. And anyone can see there was love immediately there as I join Ephraim & Judah together.

And he prophesied out of his own lips, “What GOD has joined together, no man can divide” (Mk 10:9).

And this is what I say to you oh Israel!

Accept MY BLOOD shed for you at Calvary! Realize I AM not dead! I rose again on that third day (Mt 16:21, 1 Cor 15:4). And I did more signs, wonders and miracles than any book could ever show as I walked that earth for 40 days and I ascended into Heaven before witnesses (Acts 1:3, Mk 16:19).

Matthew 16:21 From that time forth began YAHUSHUA to shew unto his disciples, how that HE must go unto Jerusalem, and suffer many things of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised again the third day.

1 Corinthians 15:4 and that HE was buried, and that HE rose again the third day according to the Scriptures.

Acts 1:3 To whom also HE shewed HIMSELF alive after HIS passion by many infallible proofs, being seen of them forty days, and speaking of the things pertaining to the Kingdom of GOD:

Mark 16:19 So then after the LORD [ADON YAHUSHUA] had spoken unto them, HE was received up into Heaven, and sat on the Right Hand of [YAHUVEH] GOD.

Oh Israel! Oh Israel! I hold you more accountable. For you speak all the right words (Is 29:13) but until you give your heart to ME, until you accept the SHED BLOOD at Calvary (Zc 12:10; 13:1), I cannot forgive you!

Isaiah 29:13-14, 24

13 Therefore ADONAI said: “Inasmuch as these people draw near with their mouths And honor ME with their lips, But have removed their hearts far from ME, And their fear toward ME is taught by the commandment of men,

14 Therefore, behold, I will again do a marvelous work among this people, a marvelous work and a wonder; For the wisdom of their wise men shall perish, And the understanding of their prudent men shall be hidden.” […]

24 These also who erred in spirit will come to understanding, And those who complained will learn doctrine.”

Zechariah 12:10 And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the SPIRIT OF GRACE AND OF SUPPLICATIONS: and they shall look upon ME WHOM THEY HAVE PIERCED, and they shall mourn for HIM, as one mourneth for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for HIM, as one that is in bitterness for his firstborn.

????????? ?? 10 ????????????? ???-????? ??????? ????? ??????? ????????????, ????? ??? ?????????????, ??????????? ?????, ??? ??????-????????; ????????? ??????, ??????????? ???-?????????, ??????? ??????, ???????? ???-?????????

Zechariah 13:1 In that Day there shall be a fountain opened to the house of David and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem for sin and for uncleanness.

Oh but when this Word is spoken forth, there’s a new Anointing this day and oh so many shall hear and they shall come running to ME! They shall come running like a little child! They shall leap with joy!

For you see this Ministry is no ordinary ministry! I have brought the spirits of Eliyahu & Moshe together as I bring their love together, as I bring the leadership together. And now I bring you, oh Israel.

Oh Israel!

You will be hated and you are hated because you are so set apart but you are no longer Holy! Look what you’ve allowed!

GAY PRIDE PARADES? ABORTIONS! HOW CAN YOU READ THE TORAH PORTION? WITHOUT FALLING ON YOUR KNEES AND REPENTING BEFORE ABBA YAHUVEH! HOW CAN YOU DO THESE TRADITIONS? THAT LOOK SO HOLY! AND NOT REPENT FOR WHAT YOUR LAND IS DOING?

AND I WEEP, I WEEP! I WEEP! WHERE IS THE MORALITY IN ISRAEL! WHERE IS THE STANDARD OF HOLINESS!

AWAY, AWAY, AWAY! AWAY FROM ME! WHEN YOU READ NOTHING BUT THE TORAH AND YET YOU PUT NO REPENTANCE IN IT-REPENT!

Cry out for your land, oh Israel!

WHERE IS THE LEADERSHIP? NETANYAHU! YOU WERE SENT AS A PROPHET UNTO [THE U.S.] CONGRESS! YOU’RE ALL THAT I COULD FIND! But why do you return back to Israel and tell them not to repent for their sins!

THE BLOOD OF THE UNBORN! DRENCHES YOUR HANDS! THE ABORTIONS! DO YOU NOT KNOW-these babies, these innocent little foetuses, are offered up to the god moloch (Lv 18:21)? OFFERED UP TO SATAN!

Leviticus 18:21 And thou shalt not let any of thy seed pass through the fire to Molech, neither shalt thou profane the NAME OF THY GOD: I AM THE LORD YAHUVEH.

OH ISRAEL, OH ISRAEL! The Rod of YAH’S Wrath is coming! For I chastise those that I love (Dt 8:5; Pr 3:11-12; Heb 12:6-8; Rv 3:19)!

Deuteronomy 8:5 Thou shalt also consider in thine heart, that, as a man chasteneth his son, so the Lord thy God chasteneth thee.

Proverbs 3:11-12 11 My son, despise not the chastening of the Lord; neither be weary of his correction: 12 For whom the Lord loveth he correcteth; even as a father the son in whom he delighteth.

Hebrews 12:6-8 6 For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth. 7 If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not? 8 But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons.

Revelation 3:19 As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.

And I’m gonna beat you (Ezek 5:7-9)! And I AM going to allow the world to beat you (Zech 14:1-3)! Until you finally get on your knees and say, “Blessed is he who comes in the NAME of the LORD YAHUSHUA!” (Ps 118: Mt 23:38-39).

Ezekiel 5: 7-9 Therefore thus saith YAHUVEH ELOHIM; Because ye multiplied [your evil deeds] more than the nations that are round about you, and have not walked in MY statutes, neither have kept MY judgments, neither have done according to the judgments of the nations that are round about you; 8Therefore thus saith YAHUVEH ELOHIM; Behold, I, even I, AM against thee, and will execute judgments in the midst of thee in the sight of the nations. 9And I will do in thee that which I have not done, and whereunto I will not do any more the like, because of all thine abominations.

Zechariah 14:1-3 1Behold, the Day of YAHUVEH cometh, and thy spoil shall be divided in the midst of thee. 2For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle; and the city shall be taken, and the houses rifled, and the women ravished; and half of the city shall go forth into captivity, and the residue of the people shall not be cut off from the city. 3Then shall YAHUVEH go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle.

Psalm 118:25-26 25 Save [HOSHIA] now, I beseech thee, O YAHUVEH: O YAHUVEH, I beseech thee, send now prosperity. 26Blessed be he that cometh in the NAME of YAHUVEH: we have blessed you out of the house of YAHUVEH.

Matthew 23:38-39 38 Behold, your house is left unto you desolate. 39 For I say unto you, Ye shall not see ME henceforth, till ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the NAME of YAHUVEH.

Again, oh Israel, stand up for morality! Stand up for the standard of Holiness!

You recite the Ten Commandments! You recite the Torah Laws! But how many follow them? How many will stand up for morality? Vain words-is in your mouth (Is 29:13; Ps 50:15-16)! And I will not bless this!

Psalm 50:15-16 15 And call upon ME in the Day of Trouble: I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me. 16 But unto the wicked GOD saith, What hast thou to do to declare MY Statutes, or that thou shouldest take MY Covenant in thy mouth?

Come to ME! With repentance and tears! These are the ones I’m going to save! These are the ones I will protect! Stop compromising! This world will always hate you, but I-oh Israel, I YAHUSHUA-I love you! Your ABBA YAH loves you!

Stop fearing the NAME of your HEAVENLY FATHER!

Have you not read Psalm 91 [vv 14-16]? I HEAR IT! And yet you dare take MY NAME in vain by not allowing it to even be spoken. You think this honors ME when I say again and again-ABBA YAH, again and again tells you, “In MY NAME!” “In MY NAME!” “In MY NAME!” “Call out in the NAME!” Fear not the NAME of YAHUVEH!

Psalm 91:14-16 14″Because he loves me,” says YAHUVEH, “I will rescue him; I will protect him, for he acknowledges MY NAME. 15He will call on me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him and honor him. 16With long life I will satisfy him and show him my salvation [Yeshuati].”

Fear not the NAME of YAHUSHUA! YAH is in MY NAME!

Oh Israel, oh Israel!

I weep for you! I travail for you! Tears of BLOOD was poured out for you. Where did satan tempt me (Mt 4: 1-11; Mk 1:12-13; Lk 4:1-13) but in Israel? So this day I take the time to tell you oh Israel, come to ME!

Come to ME! For the Time of Jacob’s Trouble & Sorrow is so soon upon you!

Come to ME! Learn of ME! And be warned-even this Word coming forth now. That which will come as the false messiah (Zc 11:17; Dn 7:7-8, 24-25; 8:23-24; 9:27) is so very, very close! Do not be deceived! Come to ME now!

Zechariah 11:17 Woe to the idol shepherd that leaveth the flock! the sword shall be upon his arm, and upon his right eye: his arm shall be clean dried up, and his right eye shall be utterly darkened.

Daniel 8: 23 And in the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors are come to the full, a king of fierce countenance, and understanding dark sentences, shall stand up.

24 And his power shall be mighty, but not by his own power: and he shall destroy wonderfully, and shall prosper, and practise, and shall destroy the mighty and the holy people. […]

Come to, I, YAHUSHUA! And I promise I will wrap MY Arms around you! Your sins will be as far as the east is from the west (Ps 103: 12)! I will cover you with MY BLOOD Covenant! I will put a ring around your finger! I will fill you with the RUACH HA KODESH! Come to ME oh Israel!

Psalm 103:12 As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us.

Oh MY BLOOD, MY BLOOD, MY BLOOD! Even one drop could have saved ALL of Israel! It could have saved ALL the world! Just one drop! Yet I spilled it all out!

None have an excuse where none can say they do not know MY NAME. These are the Words on MY Heart this day oh Israel.

IMMAYAH wants to gather you and put her [Israel] underneath HER Wings. (For SHE is the ‘MOTHER EAGLE’! SHE is not a ‘chicken’ [Mt 23:37; Lk 13:34])! SHE wants to protect you! That which you call the SWEET HOLY SPIRIT, the RUACH HA KODESH wants to fill you.

Matthew 23:37 (also see Luke 13:34) O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, which killest the prophets, and stonest them that are sent unto thee; how often would I have gathered thy children together, as a hen [i.e. a female bird] doth gather her brood under her wings, and ye would not!

Come to ME oh Israel! Accept the BLOOD I shed for you at Calvary!

The nails-the spikes that were driven into MY Hands, Feet! The crown of thorns was placed upon MY Head. I was beaten for you oh Israel! All that I went through was not only for just this world, [those] who would receive it but oh Israel, I chose you! I chose you to walk the land that I walked on. I chose you!

Oh come to ME oh Israel! You want to honor GOD ABBA YAHUVEH, the FATHER? Then honor ME. For you cannot come to Heaven, you cannot come to ABBA YAH without coming through MY NAME & MY BLOOD!

Oh Israel! Once again stand up for morality! The world wants to hate you? Give them a reason: You stand up for morality! You stand up for righteousness! You do what no other nation or country on the face of this earth is doing! You be set apart for Holiness once again! You wash the blood of the abortions off your hands!

Oh where is the leader whose heart belongs to ME? Who does not fear-to say, “Oh Israel return again! To that which Moshe preached! To Holiness! To righteousness!

There’s a NEW BLOOD COVENANT and it’s MY BLOOD shed for you, as I shed it for all those who’d receive it. But right now Israel I’m talking to you!

Return!

Return. Return to that which the Disciples of Old, the Apostles, taught! Return. Do not just recite the Torah Laws-obey them! Obey them.

Because I love you so much!

Again I warn you as you see what’s happening in this world, as you see even laws being passed to label Israel “terrorists” and the hatred that’s coming at you and the political leaders who say they are friends and are really enemies.

There is a man who doesn’t even follow MY Commandments, but his name is Donald Trump and he truly does love Israel! He would be a friend to you.

For I deal with him even now. This is why he chose the vice president that he would want with him should he win the election, but this cannot happen if enough people do not pray and put action behind their prayers and get out and vote.

I’m just telling you now.

When I spoke to Elisheva Eliyahu and she commanded the prayer warriors to pray [with Prophecy 131] for Donald Trump (all because of a dream that I had given her, and a change of her heart, to cover this man in prayer) look at the choice he made [for vice presidential running mate] a man who also values life, evangelical, a man so humble, the opposite of Donald Trump’s pride-it was I, YAHUSHUA that put it upon his heart.

For I’m drawing him. I’m drawing him. He doesn’t want to play the game of politics. And so much he has to keep to himself.

Just like Netanyahu-he values the sanctity of marriage but he compromises! He compromises for the sake of politics! He does not want the gay pride parades nor same-sex ‘marriage’! Compromise! Compromise! This is what the politics of this world is all about-fear of saying what they really believe.

But today oh Israel, I cry out to you. I, YAHUSHUA, travailed for you while I was on this earth. And ABBA YAHUVEH cries out for you! Put action behind those Torah Words! When you recite the Torah Laws put action behind it. For “faith without works is dead” (Jms 2:20).

James 2:17Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone. 18Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works. 19Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble. 20But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead? 21Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar? 22Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect? 23And the Scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called the Friend of God.

From henceforth-I speak to the leadership of this Ministry and I tell you this-with those Torah portions, when you speak of the Prophets of Old, you also speak the Prophecies that I have given Elisheva Eliyahu. For it is for this time and this hour.

For they will lead the people of Israel to I, YAHUSHUA!

Oh Israel you’ve always had earthquakes but you cannot conceive of what will happen: When I YAHUVEH & I YAHUSHUA & I IMMAYAH, the RUACH HA KODESH foot stomp all over Israel! To chastise them! When your mouth is so parched because you refused to receive the LIVING WATER, I YAHUSHUA, and I seal up the sky and I have MY Two Witnesses decree no more rain shall fall!

I warn you now. I warn you now. It’s all part of chastisement!

Receive the LIVING WATER now and you will never thirst again oh Israel. Eat of the HEAVENLY MANNA and you will never hunger again, oh Israel.

I can make you invisible (Jr 36:26; Ps 27:5; 31:20) in the midst of a crowd just like I did when I walked the earth in Israel (see Lk 4:29-30; Jn 7:30; 8:59; 10: 39). I walked right among those who would be enemies and no one even saw ME. The governments think they have your bio data. Oh! But I, YAHUSHUA, can change your DNA.

I can do so many things oh Israel-to protect you if you will but just bow your knee to ME. I can hide you in ways you never dreamed possible. Psalm 91 is a promise I’ve given you. But you must come in the NAME of YAHUSHUA and through the BLOOD of YAHUSHUA.

I desire to protect you oh Israel-those who I will call MY children, the redeemed, the redeemed-the remnant they shall come!

They shall hear this Prophecy and they shall run, run, run to ME! And I shall welcome them because I love you so much oh Israel! Even on this Shabbat day, how many of you right now bow your heads and pray? And yet you’re so far from ME. You refuse to accept ME. But this will change-because I have a Bride of Israel.

And when they hear these Words, they’re going to recognize their MESSIAH and they’re going to accept the GIFT I gave at Calvary and with MY BLOOD they are going to be cleansed.

And the Hebrew translators shall come forward and they shall help translate! Freely they will give this gift and help Ezra to get these Words into the Hebrew language.

These are the Words I have to say on this Shabbat day after the reading-after Ezra reading the Torah portion. Make sure to include the Prophecies I’ve given this Prophet Eliyahu.

End of First Part of Word.

Elisheva: Praise YAHUSHUA!

[ Applause ]

Ezra: Thank YOU HEAVENLY FATHER! Thank YOU HEAVENLY FATHER! Thank YOU YAHUSHUA! Thank YOU IMMAYAH for these Words that came forth through YOUR Prophet Elisheva Eliyahu, my beloved. Thank YOU ABBA YAHUVEH for speaking forth this Word and from now on we’ll take all the Prophecies […] and we’ll read it and the Torah portion and the Prophetic Message will come forth in YAHUSHUA’S NAME and everybody say…

All: AMEN!

Elisheva: And I want the world to know that he is wearing a gift given to me. And that is my prayer shawl. He normally has a beautiful white one but for my sake because I cannot be with him as he is sent as an emissary to go to the different congregations that YAH tells us to go all over this world-and he goes and I go with him in spirit-but he wears my prayer shawl that he will be sending to me. And it’s drenched in the Anointing even of this new Prophecy.

Ezra: Amen…

Elisheva: …in the NAME of YAHUSHUA. Thank YOU ABBA YAH. That’s all [I hear].

Ezra: Thank YOU.

Elisheva: So I just want to say Thank YOU ABBA YAHUVEH! Thank YOU BELOVED YAHUSHUA! Thank YOU IMMAYAH! As this Prophecy [63] given in 2002, “O Israel Where is Your Blood Sacrifice” was read, I had not even ever put a voice to it and when our/my beloved son was reading it [earlier], I just felt YAHUSHUA weeping and travailing.

And HE was speaking Words of even why HE shed those tears of BLOOD and I didn’t even know if I had words to be able to speak because the emotion was so great. But I thank YOU for the beloved sons and daughters there that prayed and my beloved, my darling, my love of my life next to ABBA YAH, YAHUSHUA & IMMAYAH-when he prayed in those Holy tongues the Message was able to come forth and of course that’s the Apostle, Prophet Ezra from Israel. And Amen.

The congregation worships and an hour later, YAH speaks forth more…

Elisheva: Ezra?

Ezra: Yes.

Elisheva: I hear a Word coming forth for everybody there. I don’t know how-don’t want to interupt your worship. I don’t know what to do. You want to hear? You want to stir the Anointing up [with the gift of tongues]? What you want, dear? YAHUSHUA has a Word for every one of you.

Ezra: I can’t hear-

Justin: -a Word for everyone.

Ezra: There’s a Word for everyone now?

Elisheva: Yeah, but you have to stand back because you are ruining my paparazzi pictures.

[ Laughter ] Ezra: Oh my goodness. Alright. Okay. Well let’s hear what GOD has to say.

All: Amen.

Elisheva: Alright, you start praying. Wait a minute, let me pray first.

HEAVENLY FATHER-that was such beautiful worship-BELOVED YAHUSHUA. ABBA YAHUVEH, BELOVED YAHUSHUA & PRECIOUS IMMAYAH, we come-we come together in YOUR PRESENCE. We come before YOUR Throne with thanksgiving and praise because YOU said that’s the only way that our prayers are really heard (Ps 95:2; 100:4;1 Th 5:17-18). And we magnify and we worship and we thank and we praise YOU.

Psalm 95:2 Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving, and make a joyful noise unto him with psalms.

Psalm 100:4 Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name.

1 Thessalonians 5:17-18 Pray without ceasing. In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in YAHUSHUA concerning you.

Even the angels, they praise YOU 24 hours a day (see Rv 4:8; Is 6:2-3). YOU say even the rocks will cry out if we don’t praise YOU (Hab 2:11; Lk 19:40, see also Jos 24:27) and we do, for YOU are so worthy to be praised!

Habakkuk 2:11 For the stone shall cry out of the wall, and the beam out of the timber shall answer it.

Luke 19:40 And HE answered and said unto them, I tell you that, if these should hold their peace, the stones would immediately cry out.

As we were worshipping YOU YAHUSHUA, I heard a Word coming forth and I didn’t know how to interupt, how to be able to say it, when the Anointing was so strong on me. So I ask now as Ezra prays, I ask that that Word come forth again to bless YOUR beloved children there, to bless beloved Ezra. I ask this for YOUR Glory ABBA YAHUVEH, YAHUSHUA & PRECIOUS IMMAYAH!

So darling [Ezra], you go ahead and you start praying.

Ezra: Yes. [Prays in Holy tongues] [ Congregation joins, pray in Holy tongues ] [ Holy tongues ] [Elisheva prays in Holy tongues]

Prophecy 132 Part 2 Begins:

Oh! MY beloved, MY beloved, MY beloved MY beloved, MY beloved Bride! Oh how-oh how I take delight in you this day! You lay aside your plans that you could have made! Instead you come and you worship ME! You learn of ME!

And I tell you this.

IMMAYAH is in that praise and that worship (Ps 22:3)! For even as you thought you were just standing there or sitting there, yea I say unto you: ALL of you were before MY Throne! ALL of you and even those who will hear this-if they listen to the worship and the praise as you share this and their hearts are repentant before ME and they are washed clean with MY SHED BLOOD!

Psalm 22:3 But THOU art Holy, O THOU that inhabitest the praises of Israel.

There is not one thing I will withold from you (Ps 84:11), not one petition that you’ve laid before ME (Mt 7:11)-as it lines up with the Will of the FATHER-I will do it unto you and even more exceedingly and abundantly more than you dare dream or ask for (Eph 3:20)!

Psalm 84: 11For YAHUVEH ELOHIM is a SUN & SHIELD: YAHUVEH will give grace and glory: no good thing will HE withhold from them that walk uprightly.

Matthew 7:11 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your FATHER WHICH IS IN HEAVEN give good things to them that ask HIM?

Ephesians 3:20 Now unto HIM that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the POWER that worketh in us

This is what happens when you come to ME with worship and praise, with obedient hearts!

You have seen what I have done and quickly what I have done with Elisheva & Ezra! So I say unto you, I’M no respector of persons (Dt 10:17; Acts 10:34; Ro 2:11)! Stay faithful to ME! Keep your eyes focused on ME! For I desire to bless you! And I will bless you! And exceedingly and abundantly more than you dare dream or ask for!

Deuteronomy 10:17 For YAHUVEH your God is GOD OF GODS & LORD OF LORDS, A GREAT GOD, A MIGHTY, AND A TERRIBLE, which regardeth not persons, nor taketh reward:

Acts 10:34 Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that GOD is no respecter of persons

Romans 2:11 For there is no respect of persons with GOD.

Do you know your worship this day as you lift your voices to ME-you didn’t just lift your voices-you lift your hearts, you lifted your souls! And the Holy angels and the cloud of witnesses were worshipping with you!

So for those with ears that will hear this that are not there, you do the same thing. And I promise you this. You will be Here before the Throne! Even though your bodies are on earth, there’s one layer of your spirit and soul that can also be, at the same time before the Thrones in Heaven! Before your ABBA YAHUVEH! Before I, YAHUSHUA! And yes, even before IMMAYAH!

This is the blessing that I have for you! Take your petitions-and bring them to ME even now as I speak. In secret, give them to ME but remember to say, “As it goes along with ABBA YAH’S way.” Give it to ME. Give it to ME. And this includes ALL your burdens (Ps 55:22; 1 Pt 5:6-7). Give it to ME and watch and see what I will do.

Psalm 55:22 Cast thy burden upon YAHUVEH, and HE shall sustain thee: HE shall never suffer the righteous to be moved.

1 Peter 5:6 Humble yourselves therefore under the Mighty Hand of GOD, that HE may exalt you in due time: 7 Casting all your care upon HIM; for HE careth for you.

For this honor of worship-and your hearts of worship and your souls that worship-has been a blessing unto ME! This is why I stopped this music and I just want to say how much I love you, how much I desire to be with you! And it really will be soon!

Oh Bride of YAHUSHUA hear ME! I’ve longed for you! I’ve panted for you! I’ve grieved for you! I’ve cried for you! As Elisheva has been set free, so too, has the Bride of YAHUSHUA-if they will but receive!

Come away from being unequally yoked (Dt 7:3-4)! What does a goat and a sheep have in common (Dt 22:10; Mt 25:32-33)?

Deuteronomy 7: 3 Neither shalt thou make marriages with them; thy daughter thou shalt not give unto his son, nor his daughter shalt thou take unto thy son. 4 For they will turn away thy son from following ME, that they may serve other gods: so will the Anger of YAHUVEH be kindled against you, and destroy thee suddenly.

22:10 Thou shalt not plow with an ox and an ass [donkey] together [i.e. don’t yoke them together].

Matthew 25: 32 And before HIM shall be gathered all nations: and HE shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats: 33 And HE shall set the sheep on HIS Right Hand, but the goats on the left.

Does not MY Word say, “Be not unequally yoked” (2 Cor 6:14). Oh MY beloved children as you bless ME, now I YAHUSHUA bless you!

2 Corinthians 14 Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?

Elisheva: [Tongues] And beloved Ezra, I had a vision of you when you stood there with that Rod. My darling, my dearest-the love of my life next to ABBA YAHUVEH, YAHUSHUA & IMMAYAH-I saw you as Moshe leading the Children of Israel. I saw you.

Prophecy Continues:

And as all of you stood there, you were following. And I tell you this. The Israel, the Holy that will rise up-those that have known that sin has been condoned-they will no longer stay silent when they hear this Prophecy that came forth earlier.

{Elisheva: For YAH is saying,}

HE’S going to use this [AmightyWind] Ministry and the two Anointings of the spirit of Eliyahu & Moshe together to lead Israel into repentance (see Ez 37)! For that is the only way Israel shall be saved (see Zc 7-14; Jr 30; Mi 5:5-6; Ro 11:1, 11-12; Rv 7-19)!

And it’s gonna take a strong leader

, one who will refuse to compromise for the sake of a political career! He will have more fear for his soul!

And just like unto a Judge Roy Moore despite the consequences, despite the persecutions and accusations, the leader in Israel-YAHUVEH crys out to him now in the NAME of YAHUSHUA-you know right from wrong! What is the price of your soul (Mt 16:26)? For the Holy and the redeemed will rise up in Israel! And they are looking for a leader who will not compromise!

Matthew 16: 26 For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?

And “YAHUSHUA’S demon stompers” as you’ve been commanded to pray for Donald Trump now too, I YAHUVEH say, you pray for that leader in Israel to come forth! To get back to the standard of Holiness!

They speak it in the Torah! They know the Torah Laws! They recite the Ten Commandments! [Elisheva:] Now YAHUSHUA says…I’M waiting for them to obey them! And no more compromise! Oh Israel!

Elisheva: Again, I hear YAHUSHUA say,

Prophecy Continues:

I love you. And I desire for you once again. Stand for Holiness! And one day you will be that “‘Holy’ Land.” For I’M going to rule and reign from Israel (Ps 2:6-12; Ps 110:1-2; Is 9:6-7; Jr 23:5; Ez 43:7; Dn 7:13-14; Zc 6:12-13; 14:4; Lk 1:32-33; Rv 19:15-16; also see Jr 33:6-18 etc.)!

Psalm 2:6-12

6 Yet have I set MY KING upon MY Holy Hill of Zion. 7 I will declare the decree:

YAHUVEH hath said unto me, THOU art MY SON; this day have I begotten thee. 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. 11 Serve YAHUVEH with fear, and rejoice with trembling.

12 Kiss the SON, lest HE be angry, and ye perish from the way, when HIS Wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in HIM.

Psalm 110:1-6

1 YAHUVEH said unto MY LORD [ADONI], Sit thou at MY Right Hand, until I make THINE enemies THY footstool. 2 YAHUVEH 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 YAHUVEH hath sworn, and will not repent, THOU art a PRIEST for ever after the order of Melchizedek. 5 YAHUVEH 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. 7 HE shall drink of the brook in the way: therefore shall HE lift up the head.

Isaiah 9:6 For unto us a CHILD is born, unto us a SON is given: and the government shall be upon HIS Shoulder: and HIS NAME shall be called WONDERFUL, COUNSELLOR, THE MIGHTY GOD, THE EVERLASTING FATHER, THE PRINCE OF PEACE. 7 Of the increase of HIS Government and Peace there shall be no end, upon the Throne of David, and upon HIS Kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of YAHUVEH OF HOSTS will perform this.

Jeremiah 23:5 Behold, the days come, saith YAHUVEH, that I will raise unto David a RIGHTEOUS BRANCH, and a KING shall reign and prosper, and shall execute judgment and justice in the earth.

Ezekiel 43:7 And he said unto me, son of man, the place of MY Throne, and the place of the soles of MY Feet, where I will dwell in the midst of the children of Israel for ever, and MY HOLY NAME, shall the house of Israel no more defile, neither they, nor their kings, by their whoredom, nor by the carcases of their kings in their high places.

Daniel 7:13 I saw in the night visions, and, behold, ONE LIKE THE SON OF MAN [i.e. the MESSIAH appearing as a human] came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the ANCIENT OF DAYS, and they brought HIM near before HIM. 14 And there was given HIM dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages, should serve HIM: HIS dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and HIS kingdom that which shall not be destroyed.

Zechariah 6:12 And speak unto him, saying, Thus speaketh YAHUVEH OF HOSTS, saying, Behold the MAN whose NAME is THE BRANCH; and he shall grow up out of HIS place, and HE shall build the Temple of YAHUVEH: 13 Even he shall build the Temple of YAHUVEH; and HE shall bear the glory, and shall sit and rule upon HIS Throne; and HE shall be a PRIEST upon HIS Throne: and the counsel of peace shall be between THEM both.

Zechariah 14:4 And HIS Feet shall stand in that Day upon the Mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west, and there shall be a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south.

Luke 1:32 HE shall be great, and shall be called the SON OF THE HIGHEST: and YAHUVEH ELOHIM shall give unto HIM the Throne of HIS father David: 33 And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of HIS kingdom there shall be no end.

Revelation 19: 15 And out of HIS Mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the Winepress of the fierceness and wrath of ALMIGHTY GOD. 16 And HE hath on HIS Vesture and on HIS Thigh a NAME WRITTEN, KING OF KINGS & LORD OF LORDS.

So this is what happens when you come before ME with worship and praise! Again for the second time, I’ve given this Prophecy to MY Ringmaiden, MY Elisheva. For you stirred the Anointing up. It’s all because of your worship and your love!

End of Word.

Elisheva: I’m looking at the monitor right now [Footage lost] and I don’t know if somebody turned the light on and what’s going on, but ALL of you-there is such a light that I see! I don’t know if it’s in the spiritual realm-I don’t know if I’m [physically] seeing it? Somebody turn a light on or something over there?

Ezra: No, no, no.

James: I see it too.

Ezra: Has sombody turned something…a light on?

Kim: No, no Mom.

Elisheva: Ezra?

Ezra: No, nobody did.

Elisheva: I have no sound. If you’re talking to me, there’s no sound. Did somebody turn a light on over there?

Others: No.

Elisheva: Well all of you-I must be seeing … maybe I’m seeing in the spiritual realm, but you have such a light in that room that wasn’t there before! SHKINYAH GLORY LIGHT is all over each one of you in the NAME of YAHUSHUA!

Ezra: HalleluYAH! HalleluYAH!

Elisheva: Alright darling! That’s all I hear!

Ezra: Thank YOU! Thank YOU, thank YOU HEAVENLY FATHER! Thank YOU YAHUSHUA! Thank YOU IMMAYAH for this wonderful Word that YOU have [spoken]-that came forth through my beloved Elisheva. We thank YOU. We’re so grateful and thankful for YOU ABBA YAHUVEH! We always will worship YOU all the rest of our life. And everybody say …

All: Amen!

Fun fact about the most recent whump prompt (titled "Screaming Birds")

I had a friend read it before I posted, and she cracked up at the description of Ezra (Addy’s brother). I made it worse by reminding her that at the time of the fic Ezra is like 3 years old.

Yes indeed, the old man is mocking a toddler for acting like a toddler

A HOUSE DIVIDED AGAINST ITSELF

Unregenerate pagans have no alternative but to use their carnal minds by doing what seems right and good. Therefore, God warned His people to avoid that leaven by not marrying dogs (Dt 7:3-5). However, because He takes human wives He allowed His people to marry pagan women. But in order to protect His church from the leaven that might be introduced by strange wives, the Lord issued certain guidelines concerning them (Ex 34:11-16; Nu 31:14-18; Dt 18:9-14; 21:10-13). As wise as King Solomon was and as much as he loved the Lord, he failed to control his pagan wives, and their leaven of Peor turned his heart away from properly serving God (1 Ki 11:3,4). Solomon then did something evil (1 Ki 11:6): He officially established religious toleration/freedom of religion in his kingdom (vv.7,8)! We’ve already reviewed other carnal ideas that seem “good” when examined with no consideration for the Bible, and we’ve seen some of them were fairly subtle. But if you were the King of Israel, the son of King David, and the Lord had appeared to you twice (v.9) do you think you’d be stupid enough to establish freedom of religion?! No, you say? Do you think you’re smarter or wiser than Solomon? Solomon’s mistakes show carnality is no respecter of wisdom and intelligence. And when we consider his actions realistically we must conclude that some combination of socio-political factors convinced Solomon and many others that religious freedom was a good idea. God’s anger (v.9), however, makes us realize that no matter how pressing life around us may seem, we must be careful to always through discernment consider the will of God as revealed in the Bible. God was so angry He decided to divide the kingdom (vv.11-13), but because of His love for David, He did it not in Solomon’s day, He waited until the reign of Solomon’s son, Rehoboam. Jeroboam and the congregation of Israel approached King Rehoboam one day with a democratic ultimatum: Reduce their tax burden or they wouldn’t serve him (1 Ki 12:4). King Rehoboam sought two sets of advice. One group told him to preserve unity by becoming a democratic public servant (v.7), and the other group said, “These willful spoiled brats need a heavier rod” (vv.10,11). God caused Rehoboam to reject democracy (v.15). So the people of Israel (like the British colonists in America in 1776) declared their independence from their king (v.16), murdered the king’s tax man (v.18), and rebelled (v.19). Ordinarily King Rehoboam would have been right to go to war and punish the rebels (v.21), but God stopped him (v.24) because He wanted the kingdom split. God’s people rising in rebellion against their king does not establish rebellion as a legitimate method of social or political change: Jeroboam is a type of Lucifer, his fellow Christians are types of the angels who joined the rebellion, and rebellion is always witchcraft (1 Sa 15:23). This rebellion was God’s punishment for His people. God also uses Satan (and other devils) to tempt and to punish Christians (Jb 1:8; 1 Sa 16:14; 2 Sa 24:1; 1 Ch 21:1), but that doesn’t make Satan good. And Daniel was a eunuch (Da 1:7-11,18) because God was punishing His people (2 Ki 20:18), but that doesn’t mean you should be castrated, too. When the twelve tribes of God’s people were split into two houses or kingdoms, the major portion of the congregation of Israel – the northern ten tribes – was called the kingdom of Israel, and the southern kingdom was called Judah (1 Ki 11:37,38; 12:16,17,20,23). It was later, during the reign of King Ahaz of Judah (2 Ki 16:1), when Syria and Israel were at war with Judah (2 Ki 16:5), that the people of Ju-dah were called “Jews” (2 Ki 16:6). The division of God’s people into two kingdoms was punishment for their apostasy. God continued to keep them as His people but His patience was wearing thin. In fact, it was only because of His covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob that God had not cast them from His presence “as yet” (2 Ki 13:23). As we shall see, the “as yet” means exactly what it says – the time was coming when He would cast them away from Him. He ran out of patience with Israel first. He had tried to get both kingdoms to repent, but to no avail (2 Ki 17:13,14). So He rejected His people of Israel and cast them out (Ho 1:4,6,9; 2 Ki 17:18,20,23). He kept the people of Judah even though they also were bad (2 Ki 17:18,19; Ho 1:7). Judah had some good moments (2 Ki 18:1,3), but God warned future punishment was coming (2 Ki 20:16-18; 21:12-15). In spite of these warnings God’s people continued in their carnal ways “till there was no remedy” (2 Ch 36:16). God cursed the kingdom of Judah by having it defeated and taken into the Babylonian captivity. God used pagan King Nebuchadnezzar as His servant (Je 25:9; 27:6) to punish and to bring evil (Je 25:29) upon the Jews in accordance with His wishes (2 Ki 24:3). (Interestingly enough, at the end of seventy years of having Judah captive, God would punish Babylon for doing evil to His people (Je 25:12)! It goes to show it doesn’t matter if your name is Satan, Balaam, or Nebuchadnezzar; you don’t mess with God’s people and get away with it – even if He is using you to punish them.) RETURN TO JERUSALEM When Judah was allowed to return to Jerusalem, Ezra, Nehemiah, and Malachi were leaders during the rebuilding of the city. They speak of God’s people disobeying His orders that they should not marry pagans, and they record the putting away of the pagan women they had married during their captivity (Ezr 9:1-10:44; Ne 13:1-3,23-31). Through the prophet Malachi, God rebukes them: Mal 2:9 says they were partial in the law; 2:10 says they dealt treacherously against their brethren; 2:11 says they had married heathen women of other religions; and Ne 13:23,24 says they did not require them to speak the Jews’ language. But Mal 2:16 says God hates putting away and knew His people were just trying to cloak their own sins by putting away their wives. So He warned them not to deal treacherously. 2:17 says they wearied God by claiming the evil of their disobedient marriages was good in His eyes; or, knowing they were being hypocrites they said in their hearts “God won’t do anything about this.” Once God’s people were reestablished in Jerusalem they continued to err. Some of their misdeeds I’ll cover in the doctrinal section, but for now I think it’s fitting to see how God’s people closed the Old Testament era with another democratic act: When Jesus Christ was arrested by His people He was tried by the pagan governor of Judaea, Pontius Pilate. Pilate announced to the assembled Christians three times that he had found no fault in Christ and would therefore chastise and release Him (Lk 23:13-22). But the voice of the people cried out that they wanted Barabbas released, and that they did not want Christ chastised – they wanted Him crucified. The will of the people prevailed (Lk 23:23) and Pilate did as the people required (v.24) and delivered Christ to their will (v.25). The carnal mind had reared its ugly “head” again. And by the time of Christ’s First Coming carnality had picked up another synonym to describe it: Previously it was referred to as carnality, doing what was right in your own eyes, living by your own inventions, living by your own counsel, the whoredom of Peor, the leaven of the Pharisees, the doctrine of devils, etc. Now it was also called philosophy (Co 2:8). We need to realize none of the mistakes mentioned in this and in the previous chapters was committed by stupid Christians. Saints who thought they were serving the Lord committed them, saints who were no different from you and me. These mistakes were made because the realities and events of everyday life caused our brethren to take their eyes off Christ and the Bible and instead to focus on the events themselves. We must never allow that to happen. We must always have some part of our minds objectively analyzing events in order to find and understand the Biblical concepts and principles behind them. And then we must have what it takes to walk by faith, not by sight. You and I have already used some of the events in the Bible to develop and practice our ability to objectively and Scripturally evaluate the actions of Old Testament saints. We are not condemning them; we are learning from them. As we move through the rest of the chapters in this section we shall continue practicing discernment by Scripturally evaluating the actions of Christians about whom we have read in our studies of world history. We are going to see why they made the decisions they made and see if we think they were the Biblically correct decisions, and in the process gain a better understanding of world history from a Christian perspective.  By the time you finish this book you will understand how important it is for us to use discernment because you will see how the worldshaping errors of our carnal Christian ancestors down through history compounded and produced Western civilization and the unscriptural doctrines in our so-called “Bible-believing, Bible-preaching, Bible-teaching” churches. from Blogger http://ift.tt/2iMrNYp via IFTTT

Unregenerate pagans have no alternative but to use their carnal minds by doing what seems right and good. Therefore, God warned His people to avoid that leaven by not marrying dogs (Dt 7:3-5). However, because He takes human wives He allowed His people to marry pagan women. But in order to protect His church from the leaven that might be introduced by strange wives, the Lord issued certain guidelines concerning them (Ex 34:11-16; Nu 31:14-18; Dt 18:9-14; 21:10-13). As wise as King Solomon was and as much as he loved the Lord, he failed to control his pagan wives, and their leaven of Peor turned his heart away from properly serving God (1 Ki 11:3,4). Solomon then did something evil (1 Ki 11:6): He officially established religious toleration/freedom of religion in his kingdom (vv.7,8)! We’ve already reviewed other carnal ideas that seem “good” when examined with no consideration for the Bible, and we’ve seen some of them were fairly subtle. But if you were the King of Israel, the son of King David, and the Lord had appeared to you twice (v.9) do you think you’d be stupid enough to establish freedom of religion?! No, you say? Do you think you’re smarter or wiser than Solomon? Solomon’s mistakes show carnality is no respecter of wisdom and intelligence. And when we consider his actions realistically we must conclude that some combination of socio-political factors convinced Solomon and many others that religious freedom was a good idea. God’s anger (v.9), however, makes us realize that no matter how pressing life around us may seem, we must be careful to always through discernment consider the will of God as revealed in the Bible. God was so angry He decided to divide the kingdom (vv.11-13), but because of His love for David, He did it not in Solomon’s day, He waited until the reign of Solomon’s son, Rehoboam. Jeroboam and the congregation of Israel approached King Rehoboam one day with a democratic ultimatum: Reduce their tax burden or they wouldn’t serve him (1 Ki 12:4). King Rehoboam sought two sets of advice. One group told him to preserve unity by becoming a democratic public servant (v.7), and the other group said, “These willful spoiled brats need a heavier rod” (vv.10,11). God caused Rehoboam to reject democracy (v.15). So the people of Israel (like the British colonists in America in 1776) declared their independence from their king (v.16), murdered the king’s tax man (v.18), and rebelled (v.19). Ordinarily King Rehoboam would have been right to go to war and punish the rebels (v.21), but God stopped him (v.24) because He wanted the kingdom split. God’s people rising in rebellion against their king does not establish rebellion as a legitimate method of social or political change: Jeroboam is a type of Lucifer, his fellow Christians are types of the angels who joined the rebellion, and rebellion is always witchcraft (1 Sa 15:23). This rebellion was God’s punishment for His people. God also uses Satan (and other devils) to tempt and to punish Christians (Jb 1:8; 1 Sa 16:14; 2 Sa 24:1; 1 Ch 21:1), but that doesn’t make Satan good. And Daniel was a eunuch (Da 1:7-11,18) because God was punishing His people (2 Ki 20:18), but that doesn’t mean you should be castrated, too. When the twelve tribes of God’s people were split into two houses or kingdoms, the major portion of the congregation of Israel – the northern ten tribes – was called the kingdom of Israel, and the southern kingdom was called Judah (1 Ki 11:37,38; 12:16,17,20,23). It was later, during the reign of King Ahaz of Judah (2 Ki 16:1), when Syria and Israel were at war with Judah (2 Ki 16:5), that the people of Ju-dah were called “Jews” (2 Ki 16:6). The division of God’s people into two kingdoms was punishment for their apostasy. God continued to keep them as His people but His patience was wearing thin. In fact, it was only because of His covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob that God had not cast them from His presence “as yet” (2 Ki 13:23). As we shall see, the “as yet” means exactly what it says – the time was coming when He would cast them away from Him. He ran out of patience with Israel first. He had tried to get both kingdoms to repent, but to no avail (2 Ki 17:13,14). So He rejected His people of Israel and cast them out (Ho 1:4,6,9; 2 Ki 17:18,20,23). He kept the people of Judah even though they also were bad (2 Ki 17:18,19; Ho 1:7). Judah had some good moments (2 Ki 18:1,3), but God warned future punishment was coming (2 Ki 20:16-18; 21:12-15). In spite of these warnings God’s people continued in their carnal ways “till there was no remedy” (2 Ch 36:16). God cursed the kingdom of Judah by having it defeated and taken into the Babylonian captivity. God used pagan King Nebuchadnezzar as His servant (Je 25:9; 27:6) to punish and to bring evil (Je 25:29) upon the Jews in accordance with His wishes (2 Ki 24:3). (Interestingly enough, at the end of seventy years of having Judah captive, God would punish Babylon for doing evil to His people (Je 25:12)! It goes to show it doesn’t matter if your name is Satan, Balaam, or Nebuchadnezzar; you don’t mess with God’s people and get away with it – even if He is using you to punish them.) RETURN TO JERUSALEM When Judah was allowed to return to Jerusalem, Ezra, Nehemiah, and Malachi were leaders during the rebuilding of the city. They speak of God’s people disobeying His orders that they should not marry pagans, and they record the putting away of the pagan women they had married during their captivity (Ezr 9:1-10:44; Ne 13:1-3,23-31).
