Having just returned from visiting Israel, with fifteen of my favorite believers, I wanted to share a little of what God showed me. While in Jerusalem, I kept hearing the words Maranatha and Baruch haba in the spirit. As I pondered on these words, revelation came by the spirit, saying this was a double invitation! The remnant of TRUE believers in every nation will cry out Maranatha! Revelation 22:20 "even so, come[maranatha], Lord Jesus!" and the restored Jewish believers in Yeshua will cry out Barach haba! Matthew 23:39 " You shall see me no more till you say 'blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord[Barach haba b'shem adoniai]!" At this double invitation Yeshua WILL return! Just as there was negative cooperation between Jewish religious leaders and Roman leaders to crucify Yeshua, so there will be positive cooperation between Jewish and gentile believers to invite Yeshua back. Jesus said we should know how to "discern the signs of the times"(Matthew 16:3). The fact that Israel has become a nation and that Jewish people are believing in Yeshua is a SIGN that we are close to the Second Coming. Matthew 24:32 reads "Now learn this parable from the fig tree: When its branch has already become tender and puts forth leaves, you know that summer is near." The fig tree here is a symbol of the nation of Israel. the summer is the end of the age. the word "summer" in Hebrew is the same root as the word for "end." The leaves are the beginning of revival in the land and they are beginning to blossom. This is a sign to show us the time of the kingdom is at hand...Here...Now...TODAY. Only Believe.
Exodus 34:6 And the Lord passed before him and proclaimed, "The Lord, the Lord God, merciful and gracious, longsuffering , and abounding in goodness and truth... In this verse IS the disposition of Messiah. The early church used this important verse to judge prophecy and conduct in the church atmosphere. There were three elders who were in charge of hearing and deciding if what was said and done in that time was in the disposition of Messiah. In this very shaky and explosive time we are living in (exciting & wonderful time I might add) it would serve us well if we would write this verse on the tablet of our heart and in every circumstance, situation we find ourselves apply it rightly and justly. By doing this, we, as the body of Christ, will start looking like the "church" the public has never seen!!!
