Thus saith the Lord, the Lord of Hosts;
Yet once a little while
and I will shake the heav'ns and the earth,
the sea and the dry land:
And I will shake all nations;
and the desire of all nations shall come.
Haggai 2:6-7

The Lord, whom ye seek,
shall suddenly come to His temple,
even the messenger of the Covenant,
whom ye delight in:
behold, He shall come,
saith the Lord of Hosts.
Malachi 3:1

Oh LORD, Our God,
How Wonderful You Are!
Thank You For Your Word,
Which Gives us such a mighty Foresight into Your Plan!
Thank You For the Inspiration that comes from Listening to Your Voice.

Abba Father, We Thank You For Your Scripture.

According to Your Will and Promise.
We Pray For the People and Leaders of Israel,
that They Will Look to You for the Protection
and Prosperity of their Nation.
We Also Pray For Revival in our own Beloved USA.

and Make All Things Right.

Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem

A Representation of the prophet Haggai

Handel revised and "upgraded" his Oratorio "Messiah" a number of times. I have several recordings of it, and they vary wildly in Tempo, Orchestration, even the assigned voices for the different parts. However, the "Lyrics" remain the same. The power of the Word is not diminished by the Musical Arrangement.

In this section, a thundering Bass sings the words of two "Minor" Prophets, Haggai and Malachi. The only reason these men are called "Minor" Prophets is because their Books are considerably shorter than the "Major" Prophets (Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, and Daniel). Musically speaking, "Minor" keys and chords sound sad, exotic, mysterious, or even mystical. Most of the messages of the "Minor" Prophets also fit that description, even though it may be just a coincidence in our language!

Both Haggai and Malachi speak of a shaking of the foundations, of an awakening from our slumber of convenience, and a challenge to our religious complacency.

Not such "minor" pronouncements after all!

Come and pray For the Peace of Jerusalem, For Our FRiends in Need, For Persecuted believers, and For Our Own Beloved America.

Amen...funny thing about this post today. Just before I opened up to it, I was on the phone with a friend of mine. I was saying to her how unusual it is that recently in the news some really weird fish have been showing up..like from the depths of the sea. We thought to ourselves that maybe this is part of the “shaking” of the LORD. Indeed, may we all wake up to pray more, witness more, hear more, as we see the Day draw near. Shabbat Shalom...Peace to Jerusalem, Praying for our nation, praying for our leaders, prayer for the safe return of our imprisoned persecuted, praying for our families and friends. In Jesus Name..Amen.
