Iraq Suffers as the Euphrates River Dwindles

NY Times | July 13, 2009 

Revelation 16:12 “Then the sixth angel poured out his bowl on THE GREAT RIVER EUPHRATES, and its water was dried up, so that the way of the kings from the east might be prepared.” 

Who are these kings of the East and why did the NY Times think it worthwhile to include in a front-page story?

John the Apostle spoke of an army of 200 million solders—the kings of the east—crossing a dried-up Euphrates River (Rev. 9:16). 

Time Magazine reported in 1965 (May 21, 1965) that China claimed to have an army of 200 million. 

Napoleon Bonaparte “When China awakens, the world will tremble.”

THE IDENITY THE KINGS  

Isaiah 49:12 Surely these shall come from afar; Look, those from the north and the west; And these from the land of Sinim (China). 

Isaiah 49: 9, 10, 12 “That You may say to the prisoners, ‘Go forth,’ To those who are in darkness, ‘Show yourselves…’For He who has mercy on them will lead them, Even by the springs of water He will guide them…Surely these shall come…from the land of Sinim [China].” 

·       Land of Sinim is an ancient name for China 

·       Isaiah wrote in 740 BC, the inhabitants are “prisoners” living in “darkness”

·       John the Apostle (90 AD) spoke a vast army from the East

Revelation 16:12“The sixth angel poured out his bowl on the great river Euphrates, and its water was dried up, to prepare the way for THE KINGS FROM THE EAST.

THE AGENDA OF THE KINGS  

Psalms 2:1-3 Why do the nations rage, and the people plot a vain thing?

The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together,

Against the Lord and against His Anointed, saying, “Let us break Their bonds in pieces

and cast away their cords from us.”

WORLD DOMINATION 

·       Destroy the Word of God 

CHINA’S THREAT TO THE BIBLE

First Things | December 22, 2020 

Amity Press (Chinese Communist Party) “plans to print the new, distorted Bibles. They will be the only Bibles approved by the communist party, effectively denying religious freedom to tens of millions of Chinese Christians. This comes after regulations two years ago that censored the Bible from the Chinese Internet, banned youth from church services and Bible camps, and authorized the burning of Bibles possessed without state authorization.” US Embassy-China

China Is Collecting Americans’ DNA, Posing Major Security Risks: US Counterintelligence Agency

Epoch Times | February 3, 2021 

In 1967 Dr. John Walvoord wrote:

“The fact that the rise of Asia has occurred in our twentieth century with so many rapid and unexpected developments is another evidence that the world is moving toward its final climax and the end of the times…In Asia, as in other parts of the world, the stage is being set for the final drama in which the kings of the east will have their important part.”

THE RETURN OF THE KING OF KINGS  

Carl Sagan [astrophysicist] “I have a foreboding of an America in my children’s or grandchildren’s time—when the United States is a service and information economy; when nearly all the key manufacturing industries have slipped away to other countries; when awesome technological powers are in the hands of a very few, and no one representing the public interest can even grasp the issues; when the people have lost the ability to set their own agendas or knowledgeably question those in authority…sooner or later this combustible mixture of ignorance and power is going to blow up in our faces.”

“Now when these things begin to happen, look up and lift up your heads, because your redemption draws near” Luke 21:28

Revelation 1:5 “Jesus Christ the faithful witness, the firstborn of the dead, and the ruler of kings on earth.”

Rev 6:15-17 “The kings of the earth and the great ones and the generals and the rich and the powerful, and everyone, slave and free, hid themselves in the caves and among the rocks of the mountains, calling to the mountains and rocks, “Fall on us and hide us from the face of him who is seated on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb, for the great day of their wrath has come, and who can stand?”

Revelation 19:11-16 “I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse. And He who sat on him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges and makes war.  His eyes were like a flame of fire, and on His head were many crowns. He had a name written that no one knew except Himself.  He was clothed with a robe dipped in blood, and His name is called The Word of God.  And the armies in heaven, clothed in fine linen, white and clean, followed Him on white horses.  Now out of His mouth goes a sharp sword, that with it He should strike the nations. And He Himself will rule them with a rod of iron. He Himself treads the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. And He has on His robe and on His thigh a name written:

KING OF KINGS AND

LORD OF LORDS.”

First they came for the socialists

But you did not speak out

Because you were definitely not a socialist

Those mad bastards campaigning for decent wages and universal healthcare

Waving their hand painted placards through the streets of Westminster

You were definitely not a socialist

Then they came for the Trade Unionists

And you did not speak out

Because Unions are awful

The Daily Mail said so

Those people representing ordinary workers

And fighting for decent pay

And human working conditions

And maternity and paternity leave

And adequate rest between shifts

And making sure people have a voice

They’re definitely terrible self-aggrandising egotists

And they get paid to represent people

And you had to get a bus to work once because of a strike you didn’t bother to research beyond a screaming scheming headline

So you are not a Trade Unionist

Then they came for the Muslims

and the refugees

And you did not speak out

Because they are not your people

Coming over here

Why can’t they integrate?

Religion causes all the problems right

All the wars

Leave them to it

Close the borders

We’re full up

Can’t take any more

Of this PC multicultural bullshit

Who do they think they are?

You spoke over

And you spat and you raged

in hatred and fear

But you did not speak out

Because you were not a Muslim

nor an immigrant

And then they came for the poor

and the unemployed

the single parents on benefits

the workless

And you did not speak out

Because you thought they were lazy

Loads of jobs out there innit

Easy to eat cheaply on the dole, you claim

Having never had to make £71 last a week

with a broken refrigerator

or holes in the bottom of a pair of school shoes

Bet they’ve all got Sky TV and iPhones

and how did she pay for her tattoos?

And you saw someone smoking outside a food bank once

So you did not speak out

Then they came for the disabled

Shame, you thought, but you did not speak out

Most of them could probably work, you thought

You saw that chronically depressed woman smile once

And the guy in the disabled parking space

looks young and healthy to you

We all get down sometimes, you shout

What’s wrong with you anyway?

Bunch of fucking scroungers, you thought

So you did not speak out

Then they came for the teachers

And the doctors

And the nurses

And the firefighters

And the domestic abuse workers

And the rubbish collections

And the rape crisis centres

And the social workers

And the childrens centres

And the education funding

And by the time they come for you

By the time they fucking come for you

There will be nobody left to speak out for you

Nobody left at all.

Ongoing Pride

Never give up, We will reap a harvest of blessing if we don’t give up (Galatians 6:9)

He trains my hands for battle (Psalm 18)

Read Bonheoffer’s Life Together

“Long past is the time

To berate our own sons

And force them to what we believe

Because faith is long surrounding

The one who walked with humility”

“You are my Champion

Giants fall when You stand

Undefeated

Every battle You’ve won

I am who you say I am

You crown me with confidence

I am seated

In the heavenly place

Undefeated

With the One who has conquered it all”

– Champion, by Dante Bowe and Bethel..

Psalm 16:8

I keep my eyes always on the Lord.With him at my right hand, I will not be shaken.

This song “Promises Never Fail” by @bethelmusic depicts

Jeremiah 29:11 so well.

“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.

God is a supernatural ally whom you can enlist to help enrich your life.

Now we know just who we’re called to be

A chosen people you call kings and priests

We’ll shake the nations and the seven seas

By Your love and Your blood

Richlin – Royal Blood

Mark 13.9-13.

“And you will be hated by all for my name’s sake. But the one who endures to the end will be saved.”

#hisgracewillleadushome #bestrong #fearnot #havefaith #loveGod #loveneighbour

with a mighty hand and outstretched arm; His love endures forever. – Psalm 136:12

“I want to shake people up and help them see that Jesus is not a religion, and God is not a book,” Hall says. “You can’t pray to a book and you can’t draw strength from an idea or standard. If there’s no relationship with Jesus as a person to you, you’re in trouble. It’s about life, not religion. It’s about relationships, not books.”

Lord, make me an instrument of your peace:

where there is hatred, let me sow love;

where there is injury, pardon;

where there is doubt, faith;

where there is despair, hope;

where there is darkness, light;

where there is sadness, joy.

O divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek

to be consoled as to console,

to be understood as to understand,

to be loved as to love.

For it is in giving that we receive,

it is in pardoning that we are pardoned,

and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.

Amen.

Isaiah 41:10

So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.

Matthew 6:34 is “Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.”

O how high would I climb mountains

If the mountains were where You hide

O how far I’d scale the valleys

If You graced the other side.

Jeremiah 29:11

For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.

“But as for you, be strong and do not give up, for your work will be rewarded” 2 Chronicles 15:7

John 3:17, KJV: “For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.” … John 3:17, NLT: “God sent his Son into the world not to judge the world, but to save the world through him.”

By no means! Let God be true though every one were a liar, as it is written, “That you may be justified in your words, and prevail when you are judged.” Rom. 3:4 (ESV)

#koinoniaglobal

The message in the psalm is that the righteous may seem weak, but ultimately will prevail against the wicked.

Psalms 138:7 NIV

Though I walk in the midst of trouble, you preserve my life. You stretch out your hand against the anger of my foes; with your right hand you save me.

JEREMIAH 29:11

“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.

We learnt that sometimes we need to make our own choices if we are determined to achieve

things // 2 Chronicles 15:7 // But as for you, be strong and do not give up, for your work will be rewarded.”

Solo dios puede juzgarme // Only god can judge me

“Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert.” Isaiah 43:19

“Each day is a new beginning. I know that the only way to live my life is to try to do what is right, to take the long view, to give of my best in all that the day brings, and to put my trust in God.” – Queen Elizabeth II

“Rain came, wind blew, my house was built on you. I’m safe with you, I’m gonna make it through”🙇🏽‍♂️

Isaiah 52:7

How beautiful upon the mountains Are the feet of him who brings good news, Who proclaims peace, Who brings glad tidings of good things, Who proclaims salvation, Who says to Zion, “Your God reigns!”

But they who wait for the LORD shall renew their strength;
they shall mount up with wings like eagles;
they shall run and not be weary;
they shall walk and not faint. —Isaiah 40:31

Know where to run: know where to hide, you sent the shadows running #ShineOnUs #BethelMusic

Elevation vs Validation

Adversity – Storm

Adversary / height up rock

Mean ability : Loose Shale

Perfect Storm / Ego / Platform / Success

Heigh up person / not full attached

Loose people when all people fall

Assumptions won’t get you anywhere but anchors will // blueprint and playbook

Mantle / staff or Aron / pick of leader / where I choose I anoint

Miracle : manner fresh miracle / always speaking / new grace

Mandate :

Those without vision will perish // “Where there is no vision, the people perish” — Proverbs 29:18

Where I choose I anoint

Psalms 100:4 NIV

Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise; give thanks to him and praise his name.

Philippians 4:13

“I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.”

When Isiah 55 tells us that god is higher and his ways are higher and his thoughts are higher. There are no versions of the bible that translate that to tell us that if you having a bad season or you’ve been through a hard time. Don’t worry, church, I’ll bring all my ways lower. God’s not changing the fact that he’s higher he’s inviting us in every season, in every trail in every situation to come to where he is.

When it says in the Old Testament worship no other gods than me the implication is that we are a species that worships and if you do access the Devine you will worship the mandeel you will worship the profane you will your own identity you will worship your belongings you will worship the template lane by a culture that wants you: WANTS YOU but gets you distracted
