As these times are becoming obviously turbulent with each passing day, YHWH has placed upon my heart to make this announcement prior to Pesach, for communication to begin, regarding the gathering of His people.
There are becoming two increasingly large groups of people referring to themselves as Torah observant believers, both claiming great insight. One of these groups are the folks in constant midrash and study, who "have been shown" they will be provided for by the preparation of others or of course, "manna." The other group is laying in the survivor supplies, including weapons and large quantities of ammunition.
As I weigh these options out, I find myself, once again seeing four kinds of people, with the great majority still discounting completely that preparation is needed for the end of days. Much of this group are non-believers, still looking for political solutions, and the rest in this non-preparation group are Christians planning on a rapture when "the going gets tough." I am not in this group. I am a believer that sees believers remaining on earth for at least part of the Great Tribulation.
As for the being too busy enlightening people to personally prepare, maybe that's part of what I'm preparing for. Maybe I'll be sharing the food AND work-load of basic simplicity, and maybe there will be "milk parlor midrash" and studies in the garden, but I've already been given a warning in a dream a few years back that there will be many showing up, talking the talk, and talking more talk . . . just for the food. I won't be cooking for a crowd that had the insight to know these are the end of days, and chose to not prepare.
The heavy ammunition crowd concerns me. First, it was Messiah that rebuked Peter for using violence to protect Him. As for citing Old Testament references to justify acts of war, that was already done here in America, when the Europeans considered this the new promised land and annihilated the Native Americans. According to the book of Daniel, the current state of this world is still the fourth kingdom, iron, now mixed with clay. Back to the firepower crowd. I've been shown some insight on this matter. There is no way to out firepower any military, so what may seem like implements of justifiable defense, could very quickly become weapons of offense. Frightened, hungry people do not make sound decisions!
The saddest thing I saw and heard in all of this, was the misuse of two Scriptures to justify violence and theft. Proverbs 13:22b and of course, Romans 13:1-2 In all the religious arguing over days of the week, marking the month, when a day begins, many people will consider themselves as, "the just," while those who disagree are clearly, blatant "sinners." . . . the wealth of the sinner is laid up for the just. Proverbs 13:22b. Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of
G-d: the powers that be are ordained of G-d. Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of G-d: and
they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation. Romans 13:1-2
I've already heard Romans 13:1-2 used in the context of gun confiscation and imposing martial law.
I believe the fourth kind of people are actually seeing that it's time to prepare and prepare to share!
This is not prophecy as to how details will unfold, but the possibility does exist that the people themselves will do a great deal of battle just amongst ourselves. The reality is, the final beast power can simply stand back and let the people fight it out dividedly, and the power itself loot the spoils of the anarchy of the unprepared.
I believe the fourth kind of people are being called to their rightful place of responsibility in a five fold ministry.

Words
Please bear in mind, there is a grain of truth in many of the examples I will be using in this article, but our relationship with our Creator is still a matter of the heart, not the mouth. Isaiah addresses the offense of lip service without surrendered hearts. Wherefore Adonai said, Forasmuch as this people draw near me with their mouth,
and with their lips do honour me, but have removed their heart far from me, and
their fear toward me is taught by the precept of men: Isaiah 29:13
I remember when the teaching was "speak it into being!" "Words have power." That teaching always came across as a very self-centered way to treat our Heavenly Father. Like He was sitting on His throne awaiting orders. Oh, I almost forgot, you had to say it "in Jesus Name" and just watch it all fall into place . . . Words do have power! Power to praise and power to incite judgment!
Some folks saw it for what it was, while for others, the scales remain. Many are still following some of the older names, and then there are the two newer kids on the block; Osteen and Prince. These two present a frightening blend of religious references, but little Scripture to justify materialism and disobedience. The old teaching always struck me as, "let G-d know what you want, use certain interpretations and Scripture out of context to "establish it," "speak it," which became dubbed "name it and claim it, or blab it and grab it," sprinkle "Jesus" on top and wait for the wealth. This newer teaching actually seems anti-Scripture.
Now that it's been officially realized by many, that old method only works for the speaker in his or her own reasoning, there's another "new thing" unfolding. It's time to start speaking G-d's language. Hebrew is a beautiful language and since names are not, as a rule, translated to other languages, I do think it's important to know the Name of our Creator and His Son. We don't need to know the Name to argue over pronunciation, but rather to call upon the Name. I do share the fact His Name has been removed from the KJV and the letter "J" is a very recent addition to the alphabet, but I don't know how He spoke His Name to Moses. I wasn't on that mountain hearing a voice come from a burning bush. All I can do is read what was recorded! Abba does know in my heart if my attempt to call upon His Name and share it, is in humble reverence or self-seeking pride, which brings me to a grave concern.
As a few Hebrew terms are becoming the latest trend, I find it frightening in two ways. One, of course the debates have ensued, which is absolutely ridiculous and I believe a very poor witness! The second, is the level of faith, congregants place in their leadership, rather than searching the Word themselves. For instance, the term "Ruach." Ruach HaKodesh is Holy Spirit. Ruach is also the term used when YHWH sent an evil spirit to trouble King Saul. It's not about pronunciation or semantics, it's about seeking our Creator in reverence to actually know Him. We are in danger of becoming entirely too casual in our reference and reverence, while also entirely too prideful in our knowledge.

What Is Not "Be Ready?"
Before jumping to any conclusions, please give this a read.
1.
Stockpiling ammo
2.
Focusing on the
enemy
3.
Waiting for
Washington to fix things
4.
Fearing terrorism
5.
Making work out
of living
6.
Compromise
7.
Buying gold and
survival food packets
I am not saying we should give
up the Second Amendment, not at all. As
a matter of fact, if we want meat, and I do, we need a humane way to kill and
process. A bullet is definitely a quick
way to drop the animal. I can't answer
what I would do in the case of feeling threatened, and I certainly can't tell
another what to do, but I do find it very discomforting to know there are a
number of so called believers that are at least verbalizing their potential
ease at killing another human being. We
must be diligent in our search of what it is to follow Messiah as the days
become more violent.
Focusing on the enemy takes
our focus off of Messiah and can result in replacing our fear of YHWH with fear
of the enemy which is idolatry. Waiting
for Washington to come up with solutions or stop plans in motion can also be
idolatry in placing our faith in a system and a party other than our
Creator. Fearing terrorism has taken the
nation from freedom in international travel to needing to show ID to cross the
street. As Islam spreads through our
country, people are becoming increasingly more afraid of law enforcement than
terrorists or the line between has been blurred and redefined.
I've been guilty of this next
one myself. While some of us are aiming
to simplify, I've noticed two big major hurdles of which we need to take
note. Some folks are spending a fortune
to simplify, and others like myself, have made extra and unnecessary work out
of simplifying, which results in a process rather than progress! Definitely learn skills of simplicity. It is our responsibility to keep alive the
agrarian skills and sufficiency arts of thousands of years. These skills can literally be lost in a
generation . . . Simplicity does require
some investment, but the point is to move away from ongoing expense and
dependency.
Compromise is
unacceptable. That's not to say we know
everything or that we can't admit when we learn something new. Compromise is “going along” to “get along”
and we are not to do that!
There is nothing wrong with
having some gold and silver or investments other than American currency but, be
careful. We are not to lay up treasures
on earth. When it all collapses or hits
the fan or whatever, gold and silver are not edible!
As for survival storage food,
three things. It’s very clearly
portioned for rationing. Those packages
that cost over $400.00 are designed to be rationed portions of meals, drinks,
and snacks for 1 person for 90 days, three people for 1 month, which would make
sharing very difficult. Not to mention,
all orders are recorded and tracked to the shipping address. Messiah warned of the time when there would
be no going back to even get a coat, so keep in mind food storage is probably a
treasure for marauders or a way for the powers that be to know where the food
supply is.
If on the other hand, a person
took that $400.00, invested in seeds, chickens, and gasoline to an established
homestead by faith, taking talents and an honest work ethic, you’re looking at
a perpetual food supply that can be shared.
The Revelation tells us some believers will be martyrs, that’ simply a
fact of life we must not forget.
Let him which is on the housetop not
come down to take any thing out of his house:
Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his
clothes. Matthew 24:17-18

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."

Ever Learning
It's about time we stopped misinterpreting Paul's letters to negate Torah and redefine Messiah and get serious about the things he did teach. One of those being to end all the endless debates, vain babblings, and get real about following Messiah, beyond our own self-defined service.
I'm becoming very troubled, having been sounding the need to prepare for some time now, that many people who believe themselves to be more knowledgeable than others are still just talking, but while they are doing that, they are taking careful note as to where the real preparation work is being done. If I had a dollar for every time I've heard about these "knowledge sources" having dreams about living off of "found" food storage stashes, I could be paying a gardener. I realize not everyone is called to do the same thing. Same Spirit, different administrations. Some of us are called to establish "Goshens" while others are called to be witnesses still in the city. The point is, the reminder, once again that we are called to be a witness unto Y'hshuwah. It's all the "talk" that gets old.
I'm familiar with the passage about the wealth of the wicked being laid up for the righteous . . . Perhaps, I'm wrong on this, but I don't think I'm "the wicked." I also feel that I'm to be sharing valuable knowledge about how to take care of our children and share with those who do not yet know and recognize the end of days. For those claiming to recognize the times that are at hand, they need to be preparing for such events.
When it comes down to it, we may find all the "endless genealogies" with "vain janglings and babblings" are not so filling when there is famine in the land.
Sadly, much of the Bible discussion is back to talk and debate, only rather than filling pews and sanctuaries, it's forums boards and social media. Meanwhile, even many unbelievers are seeing bad times coming and many companies are seeing this as the prime opportunity to cash in . . . or out as the case may be.
I'm old enough to remember bomb shelters. Well, they've come a long way baby . . . I'm including this link and would ask you to consider. A purchase of this size would not be without record and probably require permits, for those planning to hide until it all blows over.

The Love of Money
I've participated in several rather curt conversation about herbs and pharmaceuticals, recently. Seems ever since I wrote the article about sickness, it's been one disagreement after another somewhere. As I was praying, I simply asked Abba if I was being stiff necked in my view. With that, it was as if information just began to pour from the throne. He is G-d, and He shares His glory with no other. He is YHWH Raphah. Messiah is our High Priest. According to Torah, illnesses were to be presented before the High Priest. He changes not, and Messiah is the same yesterday, today, and forever.
I've always accepted that America's Christian society has embraced the idea of our Creator using doctors and pharmaceuticals, and will argue that belief vehemently; but the government taking control, NOW there's a problem . . .
Nurses are mentioned in Scripture, but it was a life commitment of service, not a lucrative career of passing meds and enforcing policy. The term physician rarely appears, and it was not part of the culture of Israel.
In the book of Acts, the term for sorcery referred to a magician, but in Galatians, the term "witchcraft" and in the Revelation, the term "sorcery" were translated from the word:

| farmakeiva [pharmakeia] The foundational term seems obvious, with the eternal results, ominous. I've shared this information for years, and for the most part, I'm viewed as a religious zealot on the subject, but, I'd rather be seen as a kook by men, than to stand in account for not sounding this warning. Now, to the love of money trail . . . It began simply with aspirin in the mid 19th century and near the turn of the 20th century, literally exploded around the world. The foundation for the pharmaceutical industry was the formulation of synthesizing natural products for mass production and patents. It began so simply. No company could hold a patent on nature. The properties of white willow bark were chemically reproduced, made into a powder, and at first only distributed to doctors to prescribe. As the market expanded, the laboratories determined the most lucrative plan was to make it directly available to the public. It was then that formulas were patented and logos pressed into tablets. As more chemicals were formulated, and nature still cannot be patented, the pharmaceutical industry has grown to be a very powerful and wealth generating industry, in which most societies have placed their "undying" trust. So powerful, that Monsanto purchased GD Searle & Company nearly 30 years ago. The connection between a poor diet and synthetic remedies generates a great deal of wealth but no true health. |

Spiritual Significance
When this headline about the doves being attacked, came on my newsfeed, something profoundly affected me. As I read the article, I sensed in the spirit, that this was of spiritual significance and the whole world is watching.
First the so called "peace gesture" was attacked. Children were a part of this "event." A huddled mass observed what ensued. And we know the Vatican is a part of the strong delusion . . .
I don't have a fuller understanding at this time, but every detail of this event gives indication that this is an illustration of something to come. These "doves of peace" were released in honor of "Holocaust Remembrance."
