Waters of the earth are about to rise ,
Some shall meet their maker and their demise ,
Those that before " Me " have turned and shut their eyes ,
Yet to my flock , my children I Shall reveal ,
The opening of a seal ,
A promise told of long ago ,
Yet even before I open it now you shall know ,
Because you daily inquire of ME ,
Just as David and Zadok you to shall see ,
My seers , My watchmen through the night ,
I shall reveal where to be standing through this plight ,
So see my children enter in ,
To " Zion , yeah " before this begins ,
For I AM your Menorrah , your Fullness , your Light ,
Walk on My path the Father's will this very night ,
Come ! My children inquire of me ,
To be protected during this catastrophe !
For this is just the beginning for there shall be more ,
Enter into Zion , your Menorrah for I AM your door ,
This light I am shedding , this pre-emptive view ,
Is meant specifically for you ,
My obedient , My humble , My Beloved ones ! \o/
Come ! Enter in before it has begun ,
For I am your Rock ,Your Cornerstone ,
Remain in Me do not go through this alone ! ! !
2 Samuel 15:25-28 (Amplified Bible) 25Then the king told Zadok, Take back the ark of God to the city. If I find favor in the Lord's eyes, He will bring me back and let me see both it and His house. 26But if He says, I have no delight in you, then here I am; let Him do to me what seems good to Him.
27The king also said to Zadok the priest, Are you not a seer? [You and Abiathar] return to the city in peace, and your two sons with you, Ahimaaz your son and Jonathan son of Abiathar.
28See, I will wait at the fords [at the Jordan] of the wilderness until word comes from you to inform me.
1 Chronicles 14:10-11 (King James Version) 10And David enquired of God, saying, Shall I go up against the Philistines? And wilt thou deliver them into mine hand? And the LORD said unto him, Go up; for I will deliver them into thine hand.
11So they came up to Baalperazim; and David smote them there. Then David said, God hath broken in upon mine enemies by mine hand like the breaking forth of waters: therefore they called the name of that place Baalperazim.
Psalm 91 1He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
2I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.
3Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence.
4He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.
5Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day;
6Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday.
7A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee.
8Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked.
9Because thou hast made the LORD, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation;
10There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.
11For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.
12They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.
13Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet.
14Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name.
15He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him.
16With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation.
AMEN AMEN.

Interesting post...I see credibility in some of whatis written, and a lack thereof in other parts. While I do believe that this individual is sincere in their relationship with, and seeking of, Christ and serving G_d the Father...their scholarship may be a little lacking. In particular, I find fault with the repeated use of the Christian pop-culture term ‘Yahweh’. The term utilizes what theologians call the ‘tetragrammaton’ (for the three characters,Y, H, and V or W.) - YHWH.
First the question of whether the third character should be rendered as a ‘V’ or a ‘W’ has never been entirely settled, to the best of my knowledge. Second, the Hebrew language often did not use vowels at all - but most especially NOT with this term.
The primary reason is this: it was a representation of what the highest of their high priests considered the unpronounceable and most HOLY name of Almighty G_d. No man’s lips were considered clean enough to articulate that name for most of the year.
I believe there was one exception allowed, once a year, for the High Priest. It was only when he was in the Holy of Holies, offering sacrifice for and seeking forgiveness of the sins of all the people. The most Holy name was articulated just once.
I am not idly name-calling, or calling this individual a charlatan or false prophet. I am calling attention to something which seems out of place and improper based upon my educational studies, general knowledge of traditions, and spiritual beliefs.
I am not fully able to quantify how far out of place something like this may place the remainder of the statements this person makes, but that much seems well out of order to me, and it causes me to approach the rest of it that much more skeptically prayerfully.
If you have feedback to offer, I would be interested.

Knowing the Bro involved above average for my FREEPER FRIENDS, I have no doubt that
YAWEH is a term os utmost reverence and endearment to him.
OH, Daniel Eggers article I posted . . .
DITTO, actually, imho, using YAWEH BY MOST ALL THE FOLKS I KNOW WHO USE IT—IS A TERM OF
—UTMOST REVERENCE
—UTMOST ENDEARMENT
It is as though “God” has become . . . generically cheapened by pagan use and derision . . . and somehow harkening back to the Hebrew Yahweh is a way some folks use to feel more intimately connected to and IN AWED REVERENCE TOWARD the ALMIGHTY OF THE BIBLE.
I don’t think scholarship has anything to do with it. They recognize it as a very treasured lofty, sanctified, sacred term for ALMIGHTY GOD of the Old and New Testaments and feel closer to HIM—ALMIGHTY GOD OF THE BIBLE—when they use it han when they use “God”—which seems to be splashed casually about by Mooselymbs, Hindus, Buddhists et al as well as atheists, agnostics and nominal “Christians” with a resulting tawdry cheapening in the process.
imho, GOD LOOKS ON THE ATTITUDE OF THE HEART.
If someone avoids meat as unto The Lord—He blesses that.
If someone eats meat as unto The Lord—He blesses that.
However, Axe murderers for Jesus would have a problem.
My 2 cents.
Valid points - which highlight just why it is that when I refer to our beloved Creator in writing, I render it as “G_d”, to impart a very deliberate visual stop to the reader, to convey my own heart’s reverence.
I still retain the scholarly objections I wrote of, for most of the same reasons already mentioned - however I will not hold it against them, because such things are not really common knowledge in our day and age.
I would not know about it but for the benefit of having personally known some of the more preeminent Biblical scholars of our time - among them (long gone now, but he was like family 20 years ago...) Ed Goodrich, who worked closely with John Kolenberger on the NIV Bible (if you have an NIV, you will easily find their credits in the front) and taught for years at Multnomah Bible School, and literally travelled the world as a lecturer and researcher.
Anyway that was the point of my query - I have known people (like you have known, no doubt) who fall all along the spectrum, from sarcastic to silly, to deliberately inconsiderate...to what I would consider Christian pop-culture gadflies - no minds of their own - just concerned about the latest spiritual trend, being seen as “in step with” everyone else - among the “cognoscenti”.
For my part - I care about being genuinely in touch with family and friends, with those in my body of believers and aware...but beyond that, loving our Saviour and just being able to say “it is well with my soul”.
Thanks for your response.

EXCELLENT POINTS, imho.
Great attitude.
Thanks for getting to know you better.

Michael Boldea guest on radio issuing a call to Mount Horeb to meet with the Lord.
Get on your knees in prayer. Be made new creatures. Have Christ preminent in our lives.
Supernatural provision is there.
I believe I am listening to

You really blessed me with this post ! Thankyou so much \o/
Mount Horeb.
Great reminder for those of us who want to stay awake and have our lamps filled with oil and have reserved oil for the time when it won’t be possible to buy oil.
Mount Horeb.
Seek Him while He may be found.
“She’s a witch! Burrrrrrn heeeer!”
“everything that offends the Heavenly Father will be removed.”
He can start with 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.
The show is called Watchman’s Cry, as I hear the closing blurb. Nathan Leal.

Well 'you know' He did give gray matter to His children to figure out how to prevent such offenses... I have referenced to you before regarding Gideon, (means cutter down), Gideon cut down his father's 'oak' (if my memory serves me correctly) grove where there was 'religious' activity taking place. And the Heavenly Father told Gideon to cull down his army to 300 so the people would know WHO saved them.
I am not predicting we are about to get this kind of culling, but given how brain dead the majority in this nation appear to be on any given day it could well come to that again. But it is about to get very religious.

Deaths as typhoon pounds Japan
Melor is the first typhoon to hit
Japan in two years [Reuters]
At least two people have been killed and dozens more injured in Japan, as a powerful typhoon swept its way up the main island of Honshu.
Typhoon Melor is the first such storm to make a direct hit on Japan in two years.
Packing gusts up to 200kmh, Melor made landfall before dawn on Thursday, tearing roofs off scores of buildings and forcing the cancellation of flights and train services.
According to Japan’s Fire and Disaster Management Agency, more than 11,000 people have been taken to emergency shelters, while more than 40,000 homes were without electricity.
The two people confirmed killed were both struck by flying debris from trees felled or uprooted by the storm.
In the Japanese capital, Tokyo, train operators delayed or cancelled services on many lines, leaving commuters stranded across the city during the busy morning rush hour.

Parts of the city also experienced power cuts.
Japan’s meteorological agency warned that large parts of the country, including Tokyo, and the western industrial hub of Osaka, were at high risk of landslides as the typhoon moved along the archipelago.
Japanese car company Toyota announced that because of the typhoon it would halt production at all 12 of its domestic plants for one day.
The storm ripped off roofs and downed power lines as it swept through Honshu [Reuters]
The typhoon had weakened slightly as it churned across Honshu, but was “still very dangerous,” said Takeo Tanaka, a weather forecaster from the agency.
“Winds are violent and rain is torrential. You should also be on guard against mudslides.”
Typhoon Melor was later downgraded to a tropical storm.
Melor is the latest in a series of typhoons and tropical storms to batter east Asia this year.
Japan is among the best prepared countries in the region for handling typhoons and has built extensive defences against floods and landslides, including storm surge barriers to protect coastal areas.
But despite these precautions typhoons can still cause widespread death and disruption.
In August, at least 25 people were killed when Typhoon Etau caused flash floods and landslides in Japan, even though it avoided a direct hit.
The deadliest storm to hit Japan was Typhoon Vera in 1959 which tore through Honshu, causing widespread flooding and leaving more than 5,000 dead in one of Japan’s worst natural disasters.
