The STANDARD bearer

Joel 3:9-10

King James Version

9 Proclaim ye this among the Gentiles; 

Prepare war, wake up the mighty men, 

let all the men of war draw near; 

let them come up:

10 Beat your plowshares into swords 

and your pruninghooks into spears: 

let the weak say, I am strong.

Can you feel the battle?

Can you hear GOD's warriors, beating their shields with their weapons?

I felt it, soon as I wrote this earlier article, just three hours ago.

I felt a GREAT outrage.

"ENOUGH!" Christ's soldier says.

Enough blasphemy upon the LORD.

Enough infiltration upon His church.

Enough lies from the enemy.

I feel the "positioning" of GOD's warriors.

There are only two sets of warriors.

Those for GOD.

Those against GOD.

I know where I am positioned.

SPIRIT and I have been at this since I was a child.

When GOD made me born again in 2019.

My position had become permanent, reinforced, fixed.

Sure, strong, steady, unwavering, ready.

Armed with the WORD of GOD.

Flying upon GOD's banner.

There is a "standard bearer" holding His flag.

The LORD has a BATTLE flag.

As follower, I have ONE flagship verse.

Who is a standard bearer?

"The standard-bearer acted as an indicator of where the position of a military unit was, with the bright, colourful standard or flag acting as a strong visual beacon to surrounding soldiers. Soldiers were typically ordered to follow and stay close to the standard or flag in order to maintain unit cohesion, and for a single commander to easily position his troops by only positioning his standard-bearer, typically with the aid of musical cues or loud verbal commands. It was an honorable position carrying a considerable risk, as a standard-bearer would be a major target for the opposing side's troops seeking to capture the standard or pull it down."

-- Wikipedia

That, JESUS is.

The LORD has called my attention.

For a battle to come.

We await His command.

Israel's ONLY ally

Luke 1:67

King James Version

70 As he spake by the mouth of his holy prophets, 

which have been since the world began:

This is really from GOD's perfect timing.

And from SPIRIT's perfect guidance.

Signaling the urgency of the times.

With SPIRIT leading us to a discovery.

Regarding Israel's GREATEST ally.

So we wrote an article moments ago:

"HORN of SALVATION"

Which leads to this second article you're reading now.

Written just 37 minutes apart.

Pointing to the fact JESUS is that "horn of salvation".

The Savior, Deliverer, Author of Salvation.

And the ONLY TRUE ALLY of Israel.

The ONLY ONE Israel can count on.

At all times.

For He is faithful, and consistent.

When John the Baptist was born, his father Zacharias prophesied:

Luke 1:67-69

King James Version

67 And his father Zacharias 

was filled with the Holy Ghost, 

and prophesied, saying,

68 Blessed be the Lord God of Israel; 

for he hath visited and redeemed his people,

69 And hath raised up 

an horn of salvation for us 

in the house of his servant David;

The purpose of the LORD JESUS for Israel?

Luke 1:71

King James Version

71 That we should be saved 

from our enemies, 

and from the hand of all 

that hate us;

So very timely, and powerful, indeed.

Considering what Israel's going through right now.

Nearly a full year of non-stop battle.

With hostages still waiting to be saved.

Families displaced in the north.

War in the south.

War in the north.

Unloved by many nations.

Iran making preparations to attack Israel.

As this current video revealed.

Only through JESUS can Israel be saved.

Scripture testifies of it.

Psalm 18:3-6

King James Version

3 I will call upon the Lord, 

who is worthy to be praised: 

so shall I be saved from mine enemies.

4 The sorrows of death compassed me, 

and the floods of ungodly men made me afraid.

5 The sorrows of hell compassed me about: 

the snares of death prevented me.

6 In my distress I called upon the Lord, 

and cried unto my God: 

he heard my voice out of his temple, 

and my cry came before him, 

even into his ears.

Matthew 23:39

King James Version

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 the Lord.

Acts 4:12

King James Version

12 Neither is there salvation in any other: 

for there is none other name under heaven 

given among men, whereby we must be saved.

Romans 10:13

King James Version

13 For whosoever shall 

call upon the name of the Lord 

shall be saved.

Hebrews 5:9

King James Version

9 And being made perfect, 

he became the author of eternal salvation 

unto all them that obey him;

And to all who wish Israel destroyed, remember this:

GOD loves Israel.

She is His holy nation.

She is the apple of His eye.

You make war on Israel.

You make war on GOD.

Sure you want to do that?

Genesis 12:3

King James Version

3 And I will bless them that bless thee, 

and curse him that curseth thee: 

and in thee shall all families of the earth 

be blessed.

Zechariah 2:8

King James Version

8 For thus saith the Lord of hosts; 

After the glory hath he sent me 

unto the nations which spoiled you: 

for he that toucheth you 

toucheth the apple of his eye.

Matthew 22:29

King James Version

29 Jesus answered 

and said unto them, 

Ye do err, 

not knowing the scriptures, 

nor the power of God.

Let us all pray for peace for Israel.

Let us pray for her safety.

We have not been in her shoes.

We must love all that GOD loves.

And He happens to love Israel.

Woe to all who want her destroyed!

14 BRAVE countries

 Romans 11:28

King James Version

28 As concerning the gospel, 

they are enemies for your sakes: 

but as touching the election, 

they are beloved for the father's sakes.

How blind the world is!

How blind to the importance of Israel.

How blind to the love GOD has for Israel.

Our salvation is tied up with GOD's chosen country.

On 18 September, 124 UN members voted to strip Israel of her right to defend herself in the West Bank, Gaza Strip, and east Jerusalem.

There is a "spirit" behind all this.

He is the enemy of CHRIST.

The one that wants Israel destroyed.

As if GOD would ever allow that.

If only people are born again, they'd have proper respect for GOD's laws.

If only they're born again, they'd be reading the Bible.

And know the prophecies about Israel.

As well as GOD's love for her.

She cannot be destroyed.

She will always have a remnant.

GOD had spoken, and it will be so.

Apart from Israel, only 13 other countries love her.

That makes 14 votes for Israel.

They have not deprived her of her right to defend herself.

Especially in that contested region.

These nations are to be lauded for their bravery.

It takes GREAT courage to do so these days.

GOD will surely bless these countries:

Argentina

Czechoslovakia

Fiji

Hungary

Malawi 

Micronesia

Nauru

Palau

Papua New Guinea

Paraguay

Tonga

Tuvalu

United States

I also noticed something curious.

Of these countries, a whopping SEVEN are from Oceania.

Two, from Central Europe.

Two, from South America.

One, from North America.

One, from Southeastern Africa.

Israel is from West Asia, or the Near East.

Of course, I was deeply disappointed in my own country.

The Philippines voted against Israel's right to defend herself.

In stark contrast to how we are trying to defend our shores and claims from China.

And how our heroes have defended our country from past colonizers.

Even as we have ended up under their rule.

Forty-three countries abstained from voting.

It's still an answer, and a statement.

They don't want to be enmeshed in Israel's plight.

There is this spiritual blindness in most countries of the world.

Wouldn't you want to defend your country if it is being invaded?

Wouldn't you want other countries to support your cause, too?

Would you deprive a tiny country like Israel to defend herself?

Considering she's encompassed by hostile nations on all sides?

And your size being only likened to New Jersey?

And yet, this beloved nation of GOD continues to fight on.

Like a David, to many Goliaths.

She has GOD's anointing, despite her many sins against GOD.

But GOD chose her for Himself, and that's that.

Through her, GOD's GLORY will be revealed.

In GOD's own, perfect time.

In case you're not aware, we're already in the END times.

Thus, the persecution  of Israel.

That's also how you can tell who loves GOD, and who doesn't.

By the love, or hatred they have for Israel.

GOD and Israel are one.

The MESSIAH is a Jew.

JESUS knew what He and His believers were up against:

John 15:18-19

King James Version

18 If the world hate you, 

ye know that it hated me before it hated you.

19 If ye were of the world, 

the world would love his own: 

but because ye are not of the world, 

but I have chosen you out of the world, 

therefore the world hateth you.

Know this, too:

1 John 2:16

King James Version

16 For all that is in the world, 

the lust of the flesh, 

and the lust of the eyes, 

and the pride of life, 

is not of the Father, 

but is of the world.

It's really so very plain, and simple.

GOD's law about Israel is clear:

Genesis 12:3

King James Version

3 And I will bless them that bless thee, 

and curse him that curseth thee: 

and in thee shall all families of the earth 

be blessed.

Let my vote be the 15th vote.

I stand by GOD's nation.

I love ALL that GOD loves.

Because I love GOD first.

P.S. 

Joseph, my pastor-friend, read this post.

He declares a vote for Israel, too!

Make it 16 votes then.

HONORING Israel

The 7 CONTINENTS

 

Psalm 91:1

King James Version

91 He that dwelleth 

in the secret place of the most High 

shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.

It all started with a book I got yesterday.

Something on a warlord from West Africa.

"Miraculously" shedding light on what's been in my heart.

For sometime now.

Just that I had not had the time, nor clarity, to look into it.

With the question being, "Why is Africa so turbulent"?

Not long after, SPIRIT led me to that book, in answer.

Which covered the politics, and realities, of Africa.

Confirming my growing initial thoughts.

As always, my studies are guided by SPIRIT.

Every moment, of every single day.

This morning, SPIRIT led me to the word "continents".

Of course, that would cover the seven land masses!

It would be a good way to start a study.

On the future of each continent.

Of which Africa is a part of.

If that be the LORD's will.

The objective being, WHAT is the FUTURE of EACH continent?

To a born again, it's really simple.

Nations and continents, will thrive and survive, based on these:

2 Chronicles 7:14

King James Version

14 If my people, which are called by my name, 

shall humble themselves, and pray, 

and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; 

then will I hear from heaven, 

and will forgive their sin, 

and will heal their land.

Psalm 33:12

King James Version

12 Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord; 

and the people whom he hath chosen 

for his own inheritance.

Mark 12:29-31

King James Version

29 And Jesus answered him, 

The first of all the commandments is, 

Hear, O Israel; 

The Lord our God is one Lord:

30 And thou shalt love the Lord thy God 

with all thy heart, 

and with all thy soul, 

and with all thy mind, 

and with all thy strength: 

this is the first commandment.

31 And the second is like, namely this, 

Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. 

There is none other commandment 

greater than these.

John 3:5-7

King James Version

5 Jesus answered, 

Verily, verily, I say unto thee, 

Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, 

he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.

6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; 

and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.

7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, 

Ye must be born again.

John 3:16-17

King James Version

16 For God so loved the world, 

that he gave his only begotten Son, 

that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, 

but have everlasting life.

17 For God sent not his Son into the world 

to condemn the world; 

but that the world through him 

might be saved.

Another thing to consider is each nation, and continent's stand on Israel.

That tiny, embattled nation is the apple of GOD's eye.

The LORD made clear His LOVE for ISRAEL:

Genesis 12:3

King James Version

3 And I will bless them that bless thee, 

and curse him that curseth thee: 

and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.

There's also PREDESTINATION.

The Bible reveals everything.

GOD has mapped out all our hearts.

He knows who loves Him.

He knows who doesn't.

He knows the thoughts, words, and deeds.

Of every man, woman, and child.

He hears the cry of every oppressed.

He knows when a sparrow falls.

He knows the hairs on our head.

Nothing is hidden from the LORD.

Shall I look into each continent?

And see what SPIRIT and Scripture have to say?

For now, this post has SEVEN verses to meditate upon.

I will also share the basics about continents.

COMFORT for ISRAEL

 

Isaiah 61:11

King James Version

11 For as the earth bringeth forth her bud, 

and as the garden causeth the things 

that are sown in it to spring forth; 

so the Lord God will cause righteousness and praise 

to spring forth before all the nations.

She may be hated.

But GOD loves Israel.

What part of that can't people get?

What part of the Bible do people challenge?

JESUS came to save Israel from herself.

And from the enemy who wishes her destroyed.

NOTE the prophecy on JESUS, the Messiah:

Isaiah 61:1-2

King James Version

61 The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me; 

because the Lord hath anointed me 

to preach good tidings unto the meek; 

he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, 

to proclaim liberty to the captives, 

and the opening of the prison 

to them that are bound;

2 To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord, 

and the day of vengeance of our God; 

to comfort all that mourn;

NOTE the promises for Israel:

Isaiah 61:3

King James Version

3 To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, 

to give unto them beauty for ashes, 

the oil of joy for mourning, 

the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; 

that they might be called trees of righteousness, 

the planting of the Lord, 

that he might be glorified.

Isaiah 61:4

King James Version

4 And they shall build the old wastes, 

they shall raise up the former desolations, 

and they shall repair the waste cities, 

the desolations of many generations.

Isaiah 61:5

King James Version

5 And strangers shall stand and feed your flocks, 

and the sons of the alien shall be your plowmen 

and your vinedressers.

Isaiah 61:6

King James Version

6 But ye shall be named the Priests of the Lord: 

men shall call you the Ministers of our God: 

ye shall eat the riches of the Gentiles, 

and in their glory shall ye boast yourselves.

Isaiah 61:7

King James Version

7 For your shame ye shall have double; 

and for confusion they shall rejoice in their portion: 

therefore in their land they shall possess the double: 

everlasting joy shall be unto them.

Isaiah 61:8

King James Version

8 For I the Lord love judgment, 

I hate robbery for burnt offering; 

and I will direct their work in truth, 

and I will make an everlasting covenant 

with them.

Isaiah 61:9

King James Version

9 And their seed shall be known among the Gentiles, 

and their offspring among the people: 

all that see them shall acknowledge them, 

that they are the seed which the Lord hath blessed.

For the born again, JESUS suffices.

We live by His WORD.

His WORD is in us.

His will is our delight.

And His will is that Israel survive.

Woe to anyone who challenges that.

GOD said so:

Genesis 12:3

King James Version

3 And I will bless them that bless thee, 

and curse him that curseth thee: 

and in thee shall all families of the earth 

be blessed.

Early MORNING writing

 

Psalm 143:8

King James Version

8 Cause me to hear 

thy lovingkindness in the morning; 

for in thee do I trust: 

cause me to know 

the way wherein I should walk; 

for I lift up my soul unto thee.

It started with an imprint.

Which came upon my mind.

As my eyes were still closed.

Still in the throes of sleep.

As if I had written an article.

And checking the verses, and links.

Had something to do about "brothers".

Inspired by a movie I had seen yesterday.

Wherein brotherhood was tested.

What would you do for your brother?

What happens when he commits a crime?

Would you hide him, support him, or surrender him?

What does it have to do with the fate of nations?

Read on a bit.

As GOD would have it, He made me born again.

We test everything, through Scripture.

What does the Bible say?

What did JESUS teach?

How are we to live?

How are we to love?

Today, GOD woke me up before midnight.

A bit past that, SPIRIT and I were already writing.

Five hours after, we ended up writing three articles, a tab, and this fourth you're reading now.

It's all about "brotherhood".

That was the theme given.

That was the series we developed.

Check our BROTHERHOOD series here.

It's how nations can heal.

One family at a time.

5 things every GLOBALIST must know

 

Psalm 14:2

King James Version

2 The Lord looked down from heaven 

upon the children of men, 

to see if there were any that did understand, 

and seek God.

Are you a globalist?

You know, the kind that has ideas about world domination.

On the pretext of "homogenization".

Making people united -- through race, religion, or economy.

Making everything cut, and dried.

As if we're pieces to a convenient puzzle.

Which keeps getting overturned all the time anyway.

Much as we think we could globalize, or unite the world, it won't happen.

We don't have such power.

SPIRIT and Scripture tell us why.

First, the FIVE facts established by SPIRIT:

We won't live forever.

Globalism won't work.

GOD's will prevails.

We need JESUS.

We need to be born again.

Now, the supporting verses.

"We won't live forever."

Much as the power elite have memorials to commemorate their greatness, and have delusions of extending their dynasties forever, it won't happen.

Believers will have eternal life, through JESUS.

For unbelievers, it's futile to embark on life extensions, fountain of youth, or any such ideas.

As if GOD would allow any one of us to act like Him, when our hearts aren't even right.

The verses below nip any such idea of immortality on earth:

Genesis 3:22-24

King James Version

22 And the Lord God said, 

Behold, the man is become as one of us, 

to know good and evil: 

and now, lest he put forth his hand, 

and take also of the tree of life, 

and eat, and live for ever:

23 Therefore the Lord God sent him forth 

from the garden of Eden, 

to till the ground from whence he was taken.

24 So he drove out the man; 

and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubims, 

and a flaming sword which turned every way, 

to keep the way of the tree of life.

"Globalism won't work."

Globalists can keep trying, but their plans will fail.

As it has failed, so far, and will always fail.

As if GOD would allow such nonsense.

He "re-designed" the world -- after great error on man's part.

Genesis 11:5-9

King James Version

5 And the Lord came down to see the city and the tower, 

which the children of men builded.

6 And the Lord said, 

Behold, the people is one, 

and they have all one language; 

and this they begin to do: 

and now nothing will be restrained from them, 

which they have imagined to do.

7 Go to, let us go down, 

and there confound their language, 

that they may not understand one another's speech.

8 So the Lord scattered them abroad 

from thence upon the face of all the earth: 

and they left off to build the city.

9 Therefore is the name of it called Babel; 

because the Lord did there confound 

the language of all the earth: 

and from thence did the Lord scatter them abroad 

upon the face of all the earth.

For people to get along, and to be one, first, they must be ONE with the LORD.

Only JESUS has the power to unite.

GOD gave His Son power to do so.

Matthew 28:18

King James Version

18 And Jesus came and spake unto them, 

saying, 

All power is given unto me 

in heaven and in earth.

"GOD's WILL prevails."

It has always been a battle of the wills.

Man's puny will challenges GOD's plan, will, and ways.

Again, great error on our part.

On and on the rebellion goes.

And on, and on, we remain defeated.

Again, as if GOD would allow such nonsense.

Only the CREATOR knows the end, from the beginning.

JESUS always obeyed GOD's will.

Prayers can only be answered if it conforms to GOD's will.

What were we really thinking, doing it our way?

All the while refusing GOD's way.

Let Scripture correct our thinking right this moment:

Isaiah 46:10

King James Version

10 Declaring the end from the beginning, 

and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, 

saying, 

My counsel shall stand, 

and I will do all my pleasure:

"We need JESUS."

It's very humbling for unbelievers.

We need JESUS in EVERY aspect of our lives.

Believers embrace our LORD.

In all His divine totality.

We can't do anything -- apart from JESUS.

JESUS says it all:

John 15:5

King James Version

5 I am the vine, ye are the branches: 

He that abideth in me, and I in him, 

the same bringeth forth much fruit: 

for without me ye can do nothing.

"We need to be born again."

JESUS commands we be born again.

Only by being born again can we be born of the SPIRIT.

Only through SPIRIT can we be taught about JESUS.

We need SPIRIT so we may discern that which is of GOD.

And that which belongs to the world.

John 3:5-7

King James Version

5 Jesus answered, 

Verily, verily, I say unto thee, 

Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, 

he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.

6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; 

and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.

7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, 

Ye must be born again.

Galatians 5:16-18

King James Version

16 This I say then, 

Walk in the Spirit, 

and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.

17 For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, 

and the Spirit against the flesh: 

and these are contrary the one to the other: 

so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.

18 But if ye be led of the Spirit, 

ye are not under the law.

Even Colonel Douglas MacGregor doesn't believe the world can be "homogenized".

Forget globalism, or uniting races, religion, or economy.

In this fallen world, it is fallen men who rule.

Romans 3:23

King James Version

23 For all have sinned, 

and come short of the glory of God;

We cannot perfect the world, for we are imperfect beings.

Only those who walk with SPIRIT can take the path of holiness.

With that, there is great hope for all.

Because we focus on JESUS alone.

And SPIRIT teaches us.

Until that happens, the world remains confounded.

It's really time to know GOD's truth.
