Sifting and Shaking

There is a plumbline.

The Temple Institute's Build the Third Temple campaign was not only a financial success. Even more significantly, it delivered a statement to the world that we are ready, willing and able to move forward together toward the building of the Holy Temple in Jerusalem, a "house of prayer for all nations" and a place of peace for all humanity.

The sifting and shaking continue.  Many of us are hearing or seeing various portions of Hosea and Jeremiah, basically all around us.  The words of Ezekiel have become daunting as we simply cannot look anywhere, but up; without seeing calamity looming.

The campaign to raise funds for the Third Temple has been reported to be accomplished.  That is huge news in this world and the deception will be rampant.

This will be an integral part of the fulfillment of Matthew 24:21-31

For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.  And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.  Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not. For there shall arise false Messiahs, and false prophets, and shall show great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.   Behold, I have told you before.  Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not.  For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.  For wheresoever the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together.  Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:  And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.  And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.

A Startling Dream

It seems many folks are talking about having dreams, and this week I've had several, as well.  Not all of them seem to hold spiritual significance, but this one clearly did and I've been led to share it both by video and here.

In my dream there were all sorts of methods and ways and items for protecting households.  As I walked through these various yards filled with statues and fountains, signs and sayings, one thing was consistent.  These were all people who claimed to know Y'hshuwah.  I don't remember anyone in the dream even calling Him Jesus, as they protected their places from evil.

The protection, however; was pure superstition.  As I asked what the purpose was, I was told it was to ward off evil.  We even spoke of the fact at the Name of Y'hshuwah, evil had to flee.  Where two or three were gathered together He would be there and whatever we asked in His Name according to the Father's will would be done.  Yet, knowing these facts, stating the Scripture and making the claims, the words of protection and preparation continued to point to these items of superstition.  The yard items themselves were not evil, it was the superstition involved that was evil.  The signs, however; did not contain Scripture.

There were kiddie pools filled so many inches, precisely, and certain wind chimes hung strategically measured from the door.  There were special fountains.  There were manufactured signs that stated various warnings to evil beings.  I ran into people occasionally, who were also speaking of Y'hshuwah and asking, "what are these people doing?"  As I saw this, I was heart broken, and wanted to return to my place to make sure I hadn't bought into any of this.

I awoke before making my way back to my place in the dream.  Immediately I began praying.  I heard clearly, we have judged so many other nations for their heathen ways, while we have incorporated sorcery and superstition into matters that have been ordained to be holy.

I heard the questions, "What's the difference between a prescription of measured poison, and seeking a potion of batwings and lizard tails?"  Then I heard, "What's the difference between a statue of tribute and an idol?"  The last question I heard was, "Why is there so much doubt and so few asking that I would help their unbelief?"

As I took inventory in my own life, seeing where I have mixed holy with profane regarding these questions and after seeking forgiveness, I then heard, "Ask my people these questions."
