【Current events: On October 22, 2020, Pope Francis pointed out that homosexuals are children of God and have the right to have a family. They should not be expelled from the family or suffer as a result. He therefore proposed to establish a civil union law to provide legal protection for homosexuals. According to current Catholic teachings, homosexual relationships are called “deviant behaviors.” Catholics respect homosexuals, but do not allow the promotion of homosexual behavior or the legality of their marriage. The pope’s words were undoubtedly like dropping a bomb on the Catholic Church and the entire Christian community. Although the gay community and church liberals are cheering for this, many people think that what the Pope said is incredible and clearly contradicts the past position. Some people even think that this is not a simple bill, but a conspiracy of the father of lies, trying to confuse the children of God. …Detailed Reading】

• Rev 16:13-14 Then I saw three impure spirits that looked like frogs; they came out of the mouth of the dragon, out of the mouth of the beast and out of the mouth of the false prophet.  They are demonic spirits that perform signs, and they go out to the kings of the whole world, to gather them for the battle on the great day of God Almighty.
• Rev 17:2b The kings of the earth committed adultery, and the inhabitants of the earth were intoxicated with the wine of her adulteries.
• Deuteronomy 13:1-5 It is the Lord your God you must follow, and him you must revere. Keep his commands and obey him; serve him and hold fast to him.  That prophet or dreamer must be put to death for inciting rebellion against the Lord your God, who brought you out of Egypt and redeemed you from the land of slavery. That prophet or dreamer tried to turn you from the way the Lord your God commanded you to follow. You must purge the evil from among you.

【PRAYER】

• Shake the Catholic Church Around the World: Father God, please grant the spirit of truth to work in the hearts of Catholic leaders everywhere, so they can understand and obey God’s truth, and reject lies, confusion, eliminate all ungodly, false and religionism. The work of the enemy to remove sin from them, no longer blindly follow the Vatican and the Pope ( Deuteronomy 13:1-5 ), and enter the freedom of truth.
• Flatten the Religious Highlands of the Vatican : Father God, please flatten the religious highlands of the Vatican. Break the demonstrative evil forces behind the Vatican and the Pope, and revoke this fake religious mountain, so it can no longer perform spiritually with the kings Fornication releases God’s powerful truth, enables fools to understand, and awakens the people of the whole earth ( Revelation 16:13-14, Revelation 17:1-6b )

DD on Praying for USA, October 22,  2020 to the North American Chinese

Actually, I took a few days to seek the Lord intently because I’m totally confused in what I see in front of my eyes. I never thought that I would live the day when people talk evil and justify it and hide it as if, and nobody is even discerning what is right and what is wrong. 

Watching what’s happening in the USA, I never thought I would live to this day. I always said to the Lord, how can the anti-Christ deceive the people, it’s impossible, even the elect – but watching what’s happening publicly in the USA it’s making me feel like, wow, anything can happen.

I’m not talking about parties here, I’m not talking about politics, I’m talking about there is deception at the highest level. I feel that the Lord is taking the Body of Christ globally, not only me alone, but every prophetic voice feels that the Lord is taking the global body now into a time of spiritual authority. We’re coming into a level that has been spoken about, has been prayed for, but now we are coming to see it on earth as it is in heaven. It’s like almost the government of God in the clouds is going to execute its decisions over the governments of the earth. I was seeking the face of the Lord in the last week especially related to all that’s going on in the USA and my spirit was directed to the authority over the nations. I’m not talking about influencing the governments, I’m talking about having a higher authority in the clouds from the government of God, and the Lord directed me to the verses about the church in Thyatira in the book of Revelation 1 of the seven churches.

You know when the Lord spoke to the angel, to those who overcome I will give authority over the nations. ( Rev 2:26) Overcome what? Overcome the spirit of Jezebel. And sometimes we have a very limited understanding of jezebel. We think it’s only related to sexual things or related to women. But Elijah didn’t have any sexual thing with Jezebel, but actually that spirit was after him, so as I was thinking, we have to overcome the spirit of Jezebel which is control, manipulation and deception. Control, manipulation and deception and all of them are functioning full force now.  So, the Lord took me and said, I’m giving the Body of Christ authority over the nations. I want you to overcome the spirit of control, manipulation and deception.

So, I said to the Lord, how? The Lord took me to 1 Kings 18 the whole story is about Elijah on Mount Carmel. It was a display of power. Elijah was so bold, and he was confronting all the prophets of Baal. He was saying to them, Shout louder maybe he is asleep, and then it came his turn. He put water on the sacrifice. More water. He was standing as a giant. God came down from Heaven. He did a spectacle in front of everyone. But that was not the secret for overcoming the spirit of Jezebel. It was not the Presence of God he was missing, and it was not the looking for more power or more anointing.

Do you know what he was missing? He said, I remain alone. (2King 19:10,14) God was with him. Signs and wonders were there manifesting. That giant, that man of God was alone. Why? Because there are seven thousand knees that never connected with him in the Spirit.

I wanted to say, America will win, but that’s not our fight. Our fight is: Is there a family where Elijahs would not run for their lives anymore. Elijah ran for his life, he faced all the prophets of Baal. He defeated all the prophets. He brought fire from heaven, he displayed who God is, but he was alone. And the Lord directed me right away to Revelation 12, the final fight of the dragon. The final fight is the accuser of the brethren and they defeated him. Who? The accuser of the brethren.

We are not praying for America. We are America. We are not praying for Japan. We are Japan. The Lord is looking for a Body that is connected together as One. I’m not praying for another person, God bless you. When someone aches, I don’t say, Oh I feel your pain. I ache with him. We are not happy for them. This is our victory, our pain, our fight. This is the family that Elijah was looking for.

He didn’t lack power. He didn’t lack victory. He didn’t lack the Presence of Yahweh, but he was alone. I believe this is the destiny of the Chinese: The Lord has sent you to all the nations not only from afar, but even it’s staking the ground in the nations you’re standing for, now we are talking about the USA. The results of the USA are our results. Their pain is our pain. Their victory is our victory.  I’m not speaking heroic statements. I’m speaking about the revelation that the Lord wants to release to the Body in this hour. It’s union. It’s union, oneness. There is a big difference between Unity and Union and that’s what Jesus prayed for and that’s what will happen in this season and we will overcome the spirit of Jezebel, the spirit of manipulation, of control and, and, and. Not only by the Presence of the Lord, not only by signs and wonders, not only by heaven on earth and fire coming down, but we will not run for our lives, we will walk as a family, locking arms standing together with the United States’ family.

That’s my heart. That will cost. That will have a price. The price is the Lord will have to circumcise me from my selfishness and from my little circle that I live in and say, Lord, give me the heart of the Body that I live for. And I pray that Chinese in North America, especially in America will come into that place of covenantal unity with the Body of Christ in the United States. Where you go, I will go. Where you die, I will die because You are my flesh and You are my Blood, because when we got saved, we became One Body and You are my body. Whatever is needed I am Yours. Your fight is my fight, Your battle is my battle and unless we come to that point, we can do a lot of victory, we can see a lot of heroic things, we can have the Presence of God on the top of Carmel, we can have the fire coming down, but we will not be able to overcome that spirit Jezebel. If a man like Elijah can run away for his life, intimidated and the secret is, he was longing for a family and he was alone. May we promise the Lord that in these days, none of our heroes, none of our leaders, none of our heroes will run away for their lives after seeing God on Mount Carmel. So that’s my heart.

Editor’s Note: The Apocalyptic “Ararat” Begins!

Information : David Peng   

Date : October 9, 2020 

Source : Kingdom Alive

The fierce anger of the Lord will not turn back  until he fully accomplishes the purposes of his heart. In days to come you will understand this. (Jeremiah 30:24)

In the last days, when we witness the manifestation of a lot of anger and judgment from God, don’t just beg the Lord to remove all the suffering and restore the old days of comfort, but to understand God’s plan, because until  God’s will is fulfilled, His wrath will not turn away; not only our plea is wishful thinking, but we cannot work together with the Lord. So what exactly does God want to achieve in the last days?

“The tabernacle of God is on earth, we shall be God’s people, and God shall be our God and be with us forever!”

(See Jeremiah 30:22, 31:33, 32:38 & Revelation 21:3 )

Just as God called Jeremiah to be a prophet in the last days when Judah was about to perish, we can see God’s way of doing things in the last days: Behold! I put you on top of the nations and nations today in order to implement 1. Demolition, 2. destruction, overturning, 3. Planting is to be established again. ( Jeremiah 1:10 & cf. Jeremiah 31:28 )

First of all, we see that God raised up a prophet not only for His chosen people, Israel, and at the same time speaks to the nation and nations. This is true in the past and it is even more so now. Second, we see that God’s steps can be divided into three parts, to remove the poison, you must start with the root, to wipe out weeds, you also need to get rid of the root, lest it regenerates again when the spring wind comes. The second thing is to tear down the strong fortresses and overturn all darkness. Finally, God’s intention is to remove all the corruption. Then God also has the zeal to rebuild and plant holiness. After that, with the same zeal, God will re-establish and plant holiness:

Just as I watched over them to uproot and tear down, and to overthrow, destroy and bring disaster, so I will watch over them to build and to plant,” declares the Lord. (Jeremiah 31:28)

I will refer to King Hezekiah (see Kings Chapter 19; Isaiah 36-37 ) and King Zedekiah (see Jeremiah 33 Chapter 39 examples) to illustrate how God came to re-establish and plant holiness.

Let us first look at the similarities between King Hezekiah and King Zedekiah:

1. They were all surrounded by enemy forces in Jerusalem, with Lachish as the last line of defense. ( Jeremiah 34:7 vs 2 Chronicles 32:9 )
2. If Lachish is undersigned, they are likely to become the last king of Judah.
3. By their side, God sent the faithful prophets; to preach the word of God to remind them, for example, prophet Isaiah for King Hezekiah and prophet Jeremiah King for Zedekiah.

The keyword “Lachish“ is not familiar to many people , which means that both of their kings are facing life and death. It also shows that God has mercy and grace for them. However, the two of them have very different endings.

Let’s look at another keyword “Ararat” , which became the biggest difference between the two kings.

King Hezekiah valued the words of the prophet Isaiah, looked up to the true God and was heard by God. At the very last moment, God Himself sent angels to destroy the Assyrian Empire’s army of 185,000 led by Sennacherib; however, Although the king of Zedekiah also encountered life and death situations, he still despised and treated the prophet Jeremiah badly. He finally saw his children and officials being slaughtered, and even his eyes were plucked out and taken to Babylon was rejected by God Until his death.

In other words, King Hezekiah experienced “Ararat”, but unfortunately, King Zedekiah became a “curse.” The main point of this article is to share with you the beautiful and hopeful message of God hidden in His words: “Ararat”, let me elaborate!

1. The mountainous area of ​​Armenia is located on the Turkish border. Many Kurds live in areas:You can find information about Ararat from Google : Ararat is the region of Armenia, which is the easternmost border of Turkey. Nearby, near the Great Lake of Van, Armenia and Azerbaijan have had a war for more than a month recently. Although Russia and France failed to mediate twice, it was not until October 25 that the United States came forward to truly cease fire. Later in the article, I will offer an explanation again, simply saying that “Ararat” appeared in Ararat!

2. The curse was reversed: The grace that Noah experienced when he went out of the ark, and for most Christians. “Ararat” was the top of the mountain where the ark was last stranded, “and on the seventeenth day of the seventh month the ark came to rest on the mountains of Ararat.“(Genesis 8:4) Unfortunately, Ararat is basically considered to be a name in any language, without much meaning.

However, in the HomeComing gathering in September this year , the Jewish brother Asher delivered a thought-provoking message during the gathering on the Isaiah 19 Highway. He mentioned that when the Armenian sisters led the final worship, he suddenly received great news that the Emirates is willing to resume normal diplomatic relations with Israel. He mentioned that Ararat is not only just outside Armenia, it also means “Curse Reversed” in Hebrew!

This discovery was not trivial. Suddenly, two passages of the Bible became very clear!

• If someone guilty of a capital offense is put to death and their body is exposed on a pole,  you must not leave the body hanging on the pole overnight. Be sure to bury it that same day, because anyone who is hung on a pole is under God’s curse. You must not desecrate the land the Lord your God is giving you as an inheritance. Deuteronomy 21:22-23
• Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us, for it is written: “Cursed is everyone who is hung on a pole.” Galatians 3:13

These two verses can explain “Why Jesus sacrifice Himself by crucifixion?” Because Cursed is everyone who is hung on the wood”, what Paul described in Galatians was quoted from Deuteronomy The concept of remembering because only those who are cursed will allow them to die in such a tragic and humiliating way. Not only are they tortured when they die, but they also announce that they lose all dignity; therefore, when Jesus was crucified and nailed to the cross, He had become the curse! At that time, in order to warn the people by crucifying the sinners, the Roman Empire often let the crucified criminals hang on it for several days. However, wonderfully Jesus not only fulfilled all the Old Testament requirements during His lifetime, and also the body of Jesus was buried after nightfall, fulfilling Deuteronomy, so the land was no longer cursed, in other words, the Lord Jesus took on the curse, and buried the curse with Him!

I have never connected these two verses with Noah’s Ark and the judgment of the flood! However, when I realized that “Ararat is curse reversal”, the mystery hidden in Genesis 8:4 suddenly opened up: Becoming a beautiful foreshadowing for the salvation God set “and on the seventeenth day of the seventh month the ark came to rest on the mountains of Ararat“, I seemed to see “On the day of God’s perfection (number “7”), and, When people are willing to align with the Lord (number “17”), the ark prepared by God ( the “wood”) will fulfill God’s plan: that is, to prepare Jesus to be crucified and become our curse. To remove the curse from us, therefore, Ararat is fulfilled!

Therefore, Paul also pointed out clearly: “By faith Noah, when warned about things not yet seen, in holy fear built an ark to save his family. By his faith he condemned the world and became heir of the righteousness that is in keeping with faith” (Hebrews 11:7) Because Paul, who studied under Gamaliel, knew very well that “Ararat is cursed reversed ” and  the ark is made with  wood , And Jesus was hung on the tree! Thank and praise God! God not only made a covenant with Noah, with a rainbow as a sign, after flooding the earth and judged the people, He promised that He will not destroy the world with flood again, At the same time, He has also prepared The Lord Jesus and the cross as the evidence of salvation for all people on the earth! What a miraculous mystery, I did not realize the wonderful foreshadowing of God for so many years

3. The Curse was Reversed: the Surprise of King Hezekiah

As mentioned above, when the Assyrian Empire surrounded Jerusalem, King Hezekiah’s kingdom of Judah was very likely to be destroyed like the northern kingdom of Israel. However, because of King Hezekiah’s fear of the Lord and his trust in the message brought by prophet Isaiah, finally God sent angels overnight to help Hezekiah from being wiped out, also King Sennacherib of the Assyrian Empire fled back to Nineveh frightened. However, unexpectedly, when the Assyrian king was worshiping his god in his temple, the safest place for him, he was killed by his two own sons (who he should trust the most!), and then he was succeeded by another son. Amazingly, the story could have ended right here, but God has left another sign of “Ararat’ ‘ here!

I would not have paid attention In the past at all. However, God seemed to speak loudly to me: Did you see it!  “Ararat “ not only appeared at the time of the Ark and the Flood, but also appeared at the time of the life and death of King Hezekiah. This was true in Noah’s time, as well as in King Hezekiah. Because of King Hezekiah’s dedicated reliance on God, God once again demonstrated His sovereignty and power, what was impossible in man, but God was able to cancel the curse of King Hezekiah overnight,  and for the enemy to be murdered by his own sons, and his sons fled to the “land of Ararat, ” Isn’t God provided comfort and security for those who are firmly dependent on God during distress?

One day, while he was worshiping in the temple of his god Nisrok, his sons Adrammelek and Sharezer killed him with the sword, and they escaped to the land of Ararat.” (2 Kings 19:37 & Isaiah 37:38)

Ararat only appears in four places in the entire Bible. It turns out that these four places are interlinked with each other, and there are very wonderful messages of God hidden in them. We have already looked at the first three places, let us look at the last place together , Which is closely related to us.

4. The Curse is Precipitated, the Fall of Babylon

The last Ararat appeared in Jeremiah 51:27: “Lift up a banner in the land!  Blow the trumpet among the nations! Prepare the nations for battle against her;  summon against her these kingdoms:  Ararat, Minni and Ashkenaz. Appoint a commander against her; send up horses like a swarm of locusts.

The Ararat here is very interesting, because when Jeremiah announced this statement, it was recorded in God’s ending to Babylon. At that time, Babylon was at her best, and the Jewish nation was dying. Moreover, King Zedekiah did not have the same ending as King Hezekiah so how is “Ararat “ reverse the “curse “ ?

Although the king of Zedekiah did not believe in God’s authority and had no part in God’s plan, God’s grace was still there. When we saw Jeremiah’s dialogue with Seraiah, I was surprised to see that Ararat happened not only in the time of Noah and King Hezekiah, but also in Jeremiah’s time and the end times which includes us now and in the future! Jeremiah recorded all the calamity about Babylon in the book. Jeremiah had written on a scroll about all the disasters that would come upon Babylon—all that had been recorded concerning Babylon. He said to Seraiah, “When you get to Babylon, see that you read all these words aloud.  Then say, ‘Lord, you have said you will destroy this place, so that neither people nor animals will live in it; it will be desolate forever.’  When you finish reading this scroll, tie a stone to it and throw it into the Euphrates.  Then say, ‘So will Babylon sink to rise no more because of the disaster I will bring on her. And her people will fall.’” (Jeremiah 51:60-64)

Ararat not only represents “ reversal of the curse“, it can also be translated as “precipitation of curse.” Therefore, just seven years before the fall of Jerusalem, that is, the fourth year of the reign of King Zedekiah (Jeremiah 51:59 ), when Zedekiah was called by Babylon, God had already called Jeremiah to write it down, and for Seraiah to read it out loud in Babylon. Then he tied a stone to the book and threw it into the Euphrates River, because the curse would sink and no longer arise. Babylon will eventually fall, and the curse will be reversed and precipitated, and the people of God God will no longer be threatened!

Therefore, Jeremiah clearly recorded the ending of Babylon given by God: Lift up a banner in the land!  Blow the trumpet among the nations! Prepare the nations for battle against her;  summon against her these kingdoms:  Ararat, Minni and Ashkenaz. Appoint a commander against her (Jeremiah 51:27)

One day, Babylon is to be destroyed, and from “Ararat” God will begin to rise up and prepare the people to that land of Ararat mountains, to overlook the Ark of God, settled after the flood, It is like seeing the cross on Mount Calvary. Not only it is miraculously saved from the terrible Assyrian Empire in the time of King Hezekiah, but also in the last days the people of God will rise up to fight and overcome Babylon, Jeremiah 51 :28 Then it clearly described that He would raise up Medes to attack Babylon, “Prepare the nations for battle against her—  the kings of the Medes (Medea), their governors and all their officials, and all the countries they rule!” Just like the image dreamed by King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon ( Daniel Chapter 2, 31-45 ), most Bible scholars agree that the golden head is Babylon, the silver chest is the Medo-Persian empire that replaced the Babylonian Empire. Sure enough, it happened. Something more amazing, the ancient Medes (Medians) appeared again in our generation to fight Babylon. And be victorious, that is the Kurdish group now gathered in Ararat!

5 Ararat is also the Area where the Medes (Mideans) Where Kurds Live Now.

The Kurds are an ancient nation. They were the Medes in the past. The Bible also mentions them several times. First in 2 Kings 17:6 “In the ninth year of Hoshea, the king of Assyria captured Samaria and deported the Israelites to Assyria. He settled them in Halah, in Gozan on the Habor River and in the towns of the Medes.”  We can see the northern kingdom being taken captive to Israel in the Assyrian Empire. People living in the cities of the Medes seem to have prepared the Medes to receive the chosen people of these gods, and in the future they will help the Israelites to return to the shadow of Jerusalem.

Beside, in Isaiah 13:17 See, I will stir up against them the Medes, who do not care for silver  and have no delight in gold. The Medes did not pay attention to silver and did not like gold. Not only does it mention that God would inspire the Medes to attack Babylon, but also describe their personalities that are not tempted by money Advantages, however, the most exciting and surprising thing is that Jeremiah declared that Babylon would fall in the future! “Sharpen the arrows,  take up the shields! The Lord has stirred up the kings of the Medes,  because his purpose is to destroy Babylon. The Lord will take vengeance, vengeance for his temple. “(Jeremiah 51:11) , we can clearly see that Medo-Persia will indeed replace the Babylonian Empire in the future, and will help the Israelites return to Jerusalem seventy years after their country’s subjugation, and will remove the Assyrian Empire from King Solomon All the utensils in the built temple were returned, which is really revenge for the Lord and the temple of the Lord!

However, what is even more awesome is that, not only this prophecy was fulfilled in the Medo-Persian Empire, but also in the descendants of the Medo-Kurds today!

From the picture above, we see that although the Kurds have been in the Middle East for thousands of years, they do not have their own national government and land. They are currently scattered in Turkey, Iran, Syria and Iraq. Although with a population of 30 million, they have to endure the hardship of living under their rule. Therefore, they once said very sadly, “No friend but Mountains”, therefore, Kud Although the ethnic groups live in different countries, they are very united and become one of the very few ethnic groups in the Muslim countries in the Middle East that do not believe in Islam!

Since the civil war in Syria in 2014 and the instability of the Iraqi government, ISISIslamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) has taken advantage of the chaos and has relied on tens of thousands of extremely cruel soldiers to occupy land everywhere in Syria and Iraq. Quickly seized many important towns, including Mosul (formerly Nineveh) and the areas where the Kurds had always lived, and forced the Islamic law (Sharia Law) to kill and behead all kinds of intimidation methods is staggering, as if declared to be the new overlord of Islam~Caliphate!

Because of ISIS’s astonishing momentum, many people’s troops are scattered and fleeing. However, the Kurds bravely faced and almost took the lead to contend with ISIS. Therefore, they gain their fame. With such achievements and reputation, the Kurds made a decision in 2017. A referendum on independence was held in Iraq on September 25. As a result, more than 90% supported and established the Kurdish Regional Government (KRG); ​​however, this move was greatly suppressed by the surrounding countries, especially Turkey, which was immediately bombed by air strikes. Therefore, the Kurds have not yet been able to establish an independent nation. However, I can see another trace of “Ararat’ ‘, to share with you!

I have already quoted Jeremiah 51:11 in the previous article . Sure enough, this happened in Daniel’s time. “Sharpen the arrows,  take up the shields! The Lord has stirred up the kings of the Medes,  because his purpose is to destroy Babylon. The Lord will take vengeance, vengeance for his temple.” However, this prophecy happened again before our eyes. The Bible is amazing, it not only confirmed at the time, it also proposes a long-term difference to our present and future. In 2017, the Kurds regained Mosul: Nineveh

They thought that the U.S. would help them build their country, they finally intervened in Turkey and the U.S. military retreated. The Kurds still persisted. Such determination and personality were respected by everyone. On October 27, 2019, the U.S. killed ISIS leader Abu Bakr al- Baghdadi, until September 2020, when ISIS’s last stronghold in the Syrian desert was also cleared, the Kurds, as predicted by Jeremiah 51:28, came true!  “Make the nations and the Medes kings, and the governors and deputy The governor and all the people under their control are ready to attack her.”

6 “Ararat“ is the Battle with Babylon the Great in the Last Days and the Final Victory

When we talk about Babylon, it is not only the Babylonian empire that occurred in 700 B.C., but also the current ISIS, and it is also the corrupted antichrist in the last days: Babylon the Great, On her forehead is a famous saying: “Mystery! Babylon the Great, is the mother of the harlot and all the abominations in the world. (Revelation 17:5) In the last days, we will definitely see the dark powers of dragons and beasts. There will be a final battle with the Lord Christ, and at the same time, God will raise up the remnants He has prepared to follow Christ in the final battle with Babylon the Great and win the final victory!

They fought with the Lamb, and the Lamb will defeat them, because the Lamb is the Lord of lords and the King of kings. Those who are with the Lamb, even those who are called, chosen, and faithful, will prevail. (Revelation 17:14)

We must see “he cried out with a loud voice: The great city of Babylon has fallen! It has fallen! It has become a dwelling place for demons and a nest for all filthy spirits, and a nest for all filthy and abominable birds.” (Revelation 18 :2)

This will be the last manifestation of “Ararat“, the curse is completely reversed, sinking into the abyss of the dark lake of fire, “there will be no more curse” (Revelation 22:3a)

Conclusion: The Last Days of “Ararat” has Started!

I will bless those who bless you; I will curse those who curse you. All nations on the earth will be blessed because of you. (Genesis 12:3) 

In recent headlines, we have witnessed in full view that the enemies of the past millennia shake hands and even talk with each other. We have really seen that God has raised up “Ararat” in the last days! God birthed Israel, out of nothing, so that He could bless the people through Israel. This is God’s plan and heart, so that the people can know Him and become children of God. In the end, God will become the God of all tribes and nations! The most obvious example is ‘Abraham Accords’

The first is 8/13/2020. In the global exclamation, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Israel announced that they will resume normal diplomatic relations. Many people can’t believe it but are optimistic!

Then, 09/4/2020 Serbia (former Yugoslavia) & Kosovo (declared independence in 2008) signed a contract in Washington for economic normalization, and established normal relations with Israel and will establish an embassy in Jerusalem next year. Since 1990, With the disintegration of the former Yugoslavia and the emergence of independent countries within its borders, Yugoslavia used the most terrifying means to deal with these neighbors. This time the signing of Serbia and Kosovo completely reversed the curse of genocide in the past, what a blessing.

Sure enough, on 09/15/20, the United Arab Emirates not only kept her promises to come to Washington to sign the establishment of diplomatic relations with the Prime Minister of Israel, but also invited another Middle Eastern country Bahrain to participate in the grand event, completely reversing the past millennium curse of the “Middle East Gunpowder Depot” Curse, the atmosphere of peace is self-evident. The most exciting is that on 10/23/202, the infamous Sudan who used to support the terrorist organization in Africa, publicly announced her willingness to establish diplomatic relations with Israel, under the mediation of President Trump. In addition Sudan was willing to admit her faults, also to pay for the 1998 terrorist bombings of the United States Embassy in Kenya and Tanzania. President Trump also lifted the ban on Sudan’s entry into the United States, and Israel also announced for Sudan to have direct navigation. As of today, there are still 5 to 10 countries that will be able to restore and establish normal diplomatic relations with Israel in the future. The past grievances are wiped out. Isn’t this the best portrayal of  “Ararat”?!

On the eve of the U.S. election, God raised up His remnant people around the world to pray urgently, let us align with the Lord, because the `Ararat’ ‘ of the last days has started, let us follow the Lamb of God, because He is the King of kings. Lord of lords, we are bound to win, “Ararat” is bound to happen! Amen!

Editor’s Note: [Ponder on Sukkot Part 4]: Gihon Water Fountain-God’s Sign of Conserving the Garden of Eden

By : David Peng   

Date : October 9, 2020 

Source : Kingdom Alive

The second river is named Gihon, and it surrounds the whole land of Cush. Genesis 2:13

In Genesis 2, it is recorded that there are four rivers in the Garden of Eden, of which the third Tigris and the fourth Euphrates are well-known to everyone, which is the Fertile Moon Bay in the Middle East today. Many people think that the first Pisson River is the Nile River; however, no one seems to know where River Gihon is today. As I study the scriptures related to the Feast of Tabernacles, I suddenly discovered where that King Hezekiah was rescued, how King David could have a surprising victory, where blind people could see and be sent, the Siloam Pool the high priest drawn the living water  for the the annual Feast of Tabernacle, the river that God has especially hidden under the ground, is like the chorus of the recent very exciting poem “The Pathfinder”

(Even when I don’t see it, You’re working, Even when I don’t feel it, You’re working   You never stop, You never stop working, You never stop, You never stop working!)

The Gihon Water Spring is located in the Kidron Valley in the southeast of Jerusalem, which is the “Valley of the Kings”, where Absalom’s tombstone is located. At the same time, when Absalom was alive, a stone pillar was erected in the King’s Valley because he said : “I have no son to carry on the memory of my name.” He named the pillar after himself, and it is called Absalom’s Monument to this day.(2 Samuel 18:18) Do you know that, Abraham was in this valley a thousand years before King David and Absalom existed:

After Abram returned from defeating Kedorlaomer and the kings allied with him, the king of Sodom came out to meet him in the Valley of Shaveh (that is, the King’s Valley).. Genesis 14:17

Therefore, God was in the King’s Valley long before David arrived in Jerusalem to defeat the Jebusites, long before King Hezekiah was besieged by the kingdom of Assyria. That is, where Abram helped his nephew Lot regain the inheritance that the five kings looted from the rich Sodom. ( Genesis 14:11-17 ) We saw that when Abram took back Lot’s property and returned triumphantly, King Sodom came out to greet him. What’s amazing is that at this moment, King Salem, Melchizedek also came out to meet Abram and blessed Abram, and Abram gave a tenth of what he received to Melchizedek.

Then Melchizedek king of Salem brought out bread and wine. He was priest of God Most High,  and he blessed Abram, saying,“Blessed be Abram by God Most High,  Creator of heaven and earth. And praise be to God Most High, who delivered your enemies into your hand.” Then Abram gave him a tenth of everything.(Gen 14:18-20)

This is not only the first mention of Melchizedek in the Bible, but also the first mention of tithes. We all know that God requires us to pay a tithe, because tithe belongs to God. We also know that Melchizedek is the foreshadowing of the future Messiah, he is even called King of Salem, the Messiah is the king who will appear in the city of peace in the future. How wonderful is in this Jilun Valley: Valley of Kings. When people have no idea as to what and who will take place, God already knew and has decided that this is the capital of Messiah Jesus, Jerusalem, where Jesus’ ancestor King David will enthroned and passionately welcome the covenant. The ark and the temple were to be built. Then, God Himself made a wonderful arrangement in this valley to prepare the water of the Gihon River in the Garden of Eden, which had long since disappeared. Here, it emerged as a surprisingly winning secret path and a fountain to save the Israelites. The source of water for the feast of Tabernacles, and it became the source of healing and the opening of the spiritual eyes of Jesus calling people to follow Him.

Oh, the depth of the riches of the wisdom and[a] knowledge of God!   How unsearchable his judgments,  and his paths beyond tracing out! “Who has known the mind of the Lord? (Romans 11:33-34)

However, God’s will is not yet complete until all people know that He is the true God and are willing to be His children, because His heart is eager for us to become His!

I also saw that in the last days, God will use this Gihon fountain to become an undeniable evidence, let me illustrate with a few quote from the words of God:

I will gather all the nations to Jerusalem to fight against it; the city will be captured, the houses ransacked, and the women raped. Half of the city will go into exile, but the rest of the people will not be taken from the city.  Then the Lord will go out and fight against those nations, as he fights on a day of battle.  On that day his feet will stand on the Mount of Olives, east of Jerusalem, and the Mount of Olives will be split in two from east to west, forming a great valley, with half of the mountain moving north and half moving south. (Zechariah 14:2-4)

We see that Israel will encounter the same crisis as before. However, this time God will not allow Israel to be subdued again, and He will fight for Israel. At the most intense moment, Jerusalem will have an unprecedented earthquake, even the Mount of Olives, which is on the cross-section of the Temple Mount of the Jinding Mosque today, will split north and south from its base.

In the last days, all nations gathered to besiege Israel, and the record of the inevitable occurrence of a major earthquake also appears in the book of Ezekiel:

This is what the Sovereign Lord says: You are the one I spoke of in former days by my servants the prophets of Israel. At that time they prophesied for years that I would bring you against them. This is what will happen in that day: When Gog attacks the land of Israel, my hot anger will be aroused, declares the Sovereign Lord.  In my zeal and fiery wrath I declare that at that time there shall be a great earthquake in the land of Israel. Ezekiel 38:17-19

Just when the earthquake happened, an earth-shattering miracle happened! Coincidentally, books of Zechariah and Ezekiel have detailed records;

On that day living water will flow out from Jerusalem, half of it east to the Dead Sea and half of it west to the Mediterranean Sea, in summer and in winter. (Zechariah 14:8)

The man brought me back to the entrance to the temple, and I saw water coming out from under the threshold of the temple toward the east (for the temple faced east). The water was coming down from under the south side of the temple, south of the altar. (Ezekiel 47:1)

After a major earthquake, not only would there be living water flowing eastward from the temple in Jerusalem, but it would also bring healing and life. Sodom and Omorrah, who had sinned to heaven and were destroyed by fire and sulfur from the sky (Genesis 19:24-25) restore and moisturize the beautiful land. If it is the salt sea known as the Dead Sea, the water will be sweetened and become fresh water and come back to life. The water is like the Sea of ​​Galilee filled with various fish. Would you say this is one of the most beautiful miracles in the last days?

After many days you will be called to arms. In future years you will invade a land that has recovered from war, whose people were gathered from many nations to the mountains of Israel, which had long been desolate. They had been brought out from the nations, and now all of them live in safety.  You and all your troops and the many nations with you will go up, advancing like a storm; you will be like a cloud covering the land. “‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: On that day thoughts will come into your mind and you will devise an evil scheme. Ezekiel 38:8-10

In addition to this miracle, the most brilliant and moving one is that we finally see the Lord’s tabernacle in the world! There are many trees on both sides of the river, this is a river of life, because the fruit of the tree can be used for food. The leaves are for healing, not only recorded in the river flowing out of the temple in Ezekiel, but also in the last chapter of the Revelation !

He asked me, “Son of man, do you see this?” Then he led me back to the bank of the river. 7 When I arrived there, I saw a great number of trees on each side of the river.Fruit trees of all kinds will grow on both banks of the river. Their leaves will not wither, nor will their fruit fail. Every month they will bear fruit, because the water from the sanctuary flows to them. Their fruit will serve for food and their leaves for healing. ” (Ezekiel 47:6-7, 12)

Then the angel showed me the river of the water of life, as clear as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb  down the middle of the great street of the city. On each side of the river stood the tree of life, bearing twelve crops of fruit, yielding its fruit every month. And the leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nations. (Revelation 22:1-2)

Dear families, brothers and sisters, we are in the final stage. Before Jesus returns, God will prepare our hearts to understand what He plans to accomplish in the last days. We must not be deceived anymore. We must know that the Feast of Tabernacles is the feast of Jehovah, which is prepared for all peoples! Therefore, on the last day of the Feast of Tabernacles, which is also the biggest day, Jesus spoke loudly to the world: He who thirst comes to Him, because Jesus is the Messiah, and He will come again! He is our God, and the King of kings and Lord of lords! He is the source of life, and the humble and hungry for salvation will come to Him, His temple in the Great Capital entered His tent and happily fetched water and enjoyed the flow of living water! Such a day is about to come! May the Lord bless those who have ears to hear, come to the Lord Jesus! Amen!
