Behold, how good and pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity. Psalm 133:1
In the following we shall consider a number of directions and precepts that the Scriptures provide for us for our life together under the Word.
It is not simply to be taken for granted that the Christian has the privilege of living among other Christians. Jesus Christ lived in the midst of His enemies. At the end all of his disciples deserted Him. On the cross of Calvary he was utterly alone, surrounded by evil-doers and mockers. For this cause He had come, to bring peace to the enemies of God. So the Christian, too, belongs not in seclusion of a cloistered life but in the thick of foes. There is his commission, his work. "The kingdom is to be in the midst of your enemies. And he who does not suffer this does not want to be of the Kingdom of Christ; he wants to be among friends, to sit among roses and lilies, not with the bad people but devout people. O you blasphemers and betrayers of Christ. If Christ had done what you are doing who would have been spared. Luther
"I will sow them among the people: and they shall remember me in far countries." Zechariah 10:9 According to God's will Christendom is a scattered people, scattered like seed, "into all the kingdoms of earth" Deuteronomy 18:25. That is its curse and its promise. God's people must dwell in far countries, among unbelievers, but it will be the seed of the Kingdom of God in all the world. Life Together, exploring Christian Community, Reverend Dietrich Bonhoeffer, martyr for Jesus Christ.
Let us truly know what it is to be a Christian and Christian community. Rather than engaging in hurling stones of accusation, judgment, and condemnation among the brethren, be about our Father's business, dropping to our knees and pray for the lost souls. May we each take up the cross of Jesus sowing seeds of salvation to the lost, healing the sick, and binding up the wounds of the brokenhearted. This is the ministry of Jesus Christ. Time is sorely short.

Climate Revolution: The Grand Solar Minimum
We continue our examination of Deuteronomy 32 and associated scripture verses. Next time we will take a giant leap and connect dots from ancient civilizations and peoples from archaeology and corresponding scriptures. It is a truly fascinating journey. I had hoped to have it completed but it required intense biblical study and listening to the Holy Spirit as He revealed layers of understanding ancient cultures, catastrophism, and the End Days.
26 I said: I will make My anger fall upon them, said, I would scatter them into corners, I would make the remembrance of them to cease from among men:
This is a season where God’s anger falls upon us like rain. The Aramaic words, ai ei hem, gives us indication that during this anger it is as if God is saying, “in My anger I will them a non-existent people and will say, ayei ayei hem, ‘Where are they?’
Many, many people will be blotted out of the Lamb’s Book of Life during this time, if in fact, they ever were written in His Book of Life.
These people, humans like you and I, will be consumed as God blots out His memory of them or that they ever existed.
Were they ever His children? We must wonder.
This verse hints that the ripple effect may well go out to the four corners of creation, unto the heavenly realm, the creation place of the fallen angels, rooting out and erasing that they ever existed.
27 Were it not that I feared the wrath of the enemy, lest their adversaries should behave themselves strangely, and lest they should say, Our hand is high, and the Lord hath not done all this.
We need to remember in the following verses that God is angry. It is during this time that the wrath of the enemy is gathered to destroy humanity. This is not God the Father’s wrath or the wrath of Jesus, this is the wrath of Satan during this time-period. He gathers the people together in fear, with a strong compelling arm, and with an inflamed countenance. Is this not what we are seeing this very day? The only gathering of the people is in a state of fear-being being driven like fearful animals by a strong arm and the sound of a whip urging them forward into what will be the Abyss if they comply.
This driving of humanity is by one who makes himself great. The Hebrew word is yenakhru from the root of n-kh-r or strange entity, an enemy of God, to which greatness does not belong. This is a singular entity, but uses an ancient phalanx construct, is a system that acts as one entity. The following confirms this idea that this is an entity rather than one person. This entity in his bravado exclaims,
“Our own hand has prevailed, and all of this is not from the Lord.”
When the word prevailed is used it is the framework of exalting oneself. Satan is striving exceedingly hard during this time to grab the Throne of God. Not only does He desire to grab the Throne, but He wants to bring his brand of perversity before the holiness of God. Much like the scene of the whoredom of Israel with the daughters of Moab before the Tent of Meeting (God’s presence). In June you will notice that the global stage has been set to present to the world perversity unknown in human history.
28 For they are a nation void of counsel, neither is there any understanding in them.
Yes, we are dumb as sheep. When we do not consult the Lord Jesus and His Holy Spirit for counsel it does not fare well for us. When we abandon the Lord, we lose our ability to understand the spiritual and physical battle and we are no longer in our battles and skirmishes because Jesus forsakes us. It is not by might or power that we win battles, but by His Spirit alone.
We have been so degraded as a people that we have abandoned even the most basic biblical principles such as the Ten Commandments and even violate the Laws of Nature that God uses to keep creation harmonized and balanced.
29 O that they were wise, that they understood this, that they would consider their latter end!
If the enemy (ies) of God were indeed smart they would realize that the Children of God’s calamity is not from their valor but because of the Children’s sinful behavior. They should have asked themselves how one person could pursue a thousand unless the Mighty One surrendered them.
30 How should one chase a thousand, and two put ten thousand to flight, except their Rock had sold them, and the Lord had shut them up?
What does it mean to be surrendered by God? Jesus Christ, the Rock of our salvation, is in the process of selling out these traitors and shutting them up. You cannot sit on the fence. You are either for Jesus or against Him.
31 For their rock is not as our Rock, their [might is not as our might] and even our enemies themselves being judges.
The source of our strength comes from two different sources. God’s children receive their strength from pure, pristine, and clear Living Water while the source of strength from our adversaries comes from polluted, bitter, stagnant, and aged-old waters.
Might and might use in some translations refers to the idols and enemies of God.
The enemy is misjudging the cause of their victory. Period, end of story.
32 For their vine is of the vine [punishment is the punishment] of Sodom, and of the fields of Gomorrah: [their plagues as bad as the poison [from the bite] of serpents (multiple), the retribution for their behavior like their own venom] their grapes are grapes of gall, their clusters are bitter:
The imagery now changes to the vineyard. Praise be to Jesus Who is:
I am the true vine; and my Father is the husbandman. Every branch in me, that beareth not fruit, he will take away: and everyone that beareth fruit, he will purge it, that it may bring forth more fruit. John 15:1-17
But the vine, we see in this verse, is toxic in nature. It is a harvest of punishment and chastisement. U’mishadamot is another obscure word but probably translates fields of grain.
The punishment alluded to has a similar meaning to the lashes from a whip. The vast sea of humanity does not accept Jesus who bore the chastisement of these lashes for our sins consequently they will feel the lashes that Jesus bore for them. The fields around the world will be struck like those of Gomorrah. Secondly, instead of the earth being punished, God directs the punishment be brought upon humanity via the destruction of their crops thereby creating famine.
Although Scripture does not directly discuss GMO foods outright, it is applicable. We tolerated GMO foods, the mixing of species, wholeheartedly ignoring the biblical mandate not to do so. Now the chickens will come home to roost. This genetic modification will come against the human body, created in the Divine Image of God, to the degree our DNA will be changed, and Jesus no longer recognizes us as His own. Once the Mark is taken one is sealed unto the Abyss and eternal torment. These are the same genetic modifications found in Genesis 6 between the angelic realm and the Daughters of Man. There is no redemption for these half-breeds, synthetic beings, those who take the Mark, or artificial intelligence's. Jesus did not submit His life as a substitution for these entities.
33 Behold! Their wine [plagues] is the poison of dragons [serpents] is the cup of their punishment, and the cruel venom [poison] of asps.
The grapes are not sweet grapes rather the grapes of gall. It is suggested that they literally become the venom of serpents. This is literal poison. Scientists have been experimenting with great fervor how to inject snake venom into mankind for generations now. It is Satan's hope that mankind will become so tainted that God will turn His face for His children that their souls will become unredeemable. Those of us in Jesus Christ as long as we do not blaspheme the Holy Spirit or take the Mark are saved. God desires that all be saved so if we are presented with a forced situation, a minor, or someone who cannot make a conscious-due diligent choice will not be held accountable but how that works in God's eyes, I do not know.
This metaphor of clusters that are bitter reveals that these people and their idols receive retribution for their bad deeds (which are many), therefore is their punishment desolate and bitter to them.
This poisonous cup is opposite of the cup of salvation represented by the Blood of Jesus taken during communion or the Cup of Salvation consumed during the Passover Seder.
I find it provocative that the Divine Author uses grapes [food] as a metaphor of delivery for this poisonous concoction to enter the body with the advent of techno-image foods.
This form of reish [head] or poison is translated as a poisonous head. Head includes the thought that the enemy acts with a revealed face, openly and presumptuously, so the punishment will be open for all to see. Whoever desecrates Jesus in secret will be punished openly. We will see this clearly and in depth next time.
The serpents head has the ability to both poison and to charm.
We can learn much about head from Psalms 58:5 and Jeremiah 8:17:
Which will not hearken to the voice of charmers, charming never so wisely.
For, behold, I will send serpents, cockatrices, among you, which will not be charmed, and they shall bite you, saith the Lord.
This poisonous serpent head imagery should bring up Revelation 13 to your mind.
And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.
2 And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority.
3 And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast.
4 And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?
Given the technology of the day [from fallen angel technology] I see this beast as a synthetic construct with the ability to self-heal which animates to life. This synthetic construct is formed from every evil ever known in history.
Until next time...when we will delve into ancient civilizations to unravel what they knew about the battle between God and Satan. It is truly a fascinating tale written in stone.
Blessings,
Celeste

Climate Revolution: The Grand Solar Minimum
We are gleaning what we can for these days from Deuteronomy 32.
The biblical narrative speaks of demons and other gods. How is the Christian to view the concept of other, strange gods, and multiple gods? Idols and gods are used interchangeably. This verse states that the Children of God sacrificed to demons, no-gods, gods they had never known, new ones, who came but lately, who stirred not our ancestors to fear. The problem with idols gods is that they may be made of wood or stone but with today's technology they can animate and become the habitation of demons. This is new to our world. Hence, they become idols of demons or are demon-like in the phraseology of todgdays synthetic life scientists. Some are no-gods that do not exist, except possibly in the mind of a person. These are gods without substance. The biblical foundation for this can be found in
15 But Jeshurun [Israel] waxed fat, and kicked: thou art waxen fat, thou art grown thick, thou art covered with fatness; then he forsook God which made him, and lightly esteemed the Rock of his salvation.
Here the hidden snare of provision is revealed to us. Let us make careful note. This message is directed to those who are upright in Jesus not the masses of the world or fence-sitting Christians. They prospered, such as we are witnessing right now. But the Word says they grew fat. The idea of prosperity comes from Jeshrun which means osher or wealth. When we grow strong and acquired possessions the Bible says we can become “fat, gross, and coarse.” Consequently, we begin to become complacent in our faith and rebel against Jesus because we are overindulging in food, drink, and being at ease. This is not lost on our adversary. During the Novel Corona Virus people were locked in their homes and many people had no outlets other than to eat, drink and be lazy in their homes. The Christian, on the other hand, was guided to enter the chamber of the King of Kings to pray, search the Holy Writ, and do many acts of great kindness.
Some commentators also mention the acquisition during this time of gold and silver. Remember, metals do not save, they should not be an idol but with them you may have certain blessings or opportunities afforded to you that the person without will not have.
After we have acquired all these promises and blessings what does the carnal Christian do? The forgot Jesus who made them and spurned the Rock of their support. Can we totally abandon God? I am not certain of the depravity that the human mind possesses, it is unknowable to man. These people who cry the name of Jesus forsake the wisdom of God, refuse to worship Him in Spirit and in Truth, an deny fear and trembling of the Almighty Who redeems them during their times a trouble, such as we are now experiencing in greater intensity. This unfurls many consequences which we will explore next.
16 They provoked him to jealousy with strange gods, with abominations provoked they him to anger.
As the Children of God we can cause God’s anger and passion to burn because of our abominations or tolerance of abomination such as apathy on abortion homosexuality, and witchcraft. The word bezarim or strange is not a common word but indicates strange things or strange gods. I find this provocative for a couple of reasons. The Israelite High Priest Aaron sons were killed when they offered strange fire to the Lord. And more recently the military in an AI training conference recommended that commanders tell their subordinates to what the TV series Stranger Things which really an entertainment allegory of the biblical narrative is, minus a savior. In that story-line you have strange gods which is grooming us for they day the arrive en masse upon the earth.
17 They sacrificed unto devils, not to God; to gods whom they knew not, to new gods that came newly up, whom your fathers feared not.
The biblical narrative speaks of demons and other gods. How is the Christian to view the concept of other, strange gods, and multiple gods? Idols and gods are used interchangeably. This verse states that the Children of God sacrificed to demons, no-gods, gods they had never known, new ones, who came but lately, who stirred not our ancestors to fear. The problem with idols gods is that they may be made of wood or stone but with today's technology they can animate and become the habitation of demons. This is new to our world. Hence, they become idols of demons or are demon-like in the phraseology of today's synthetic life scientists. Some are no-gods that do not exist, except possibly in the mind of a person. These are gods without substance. The biblical foundation for this can be found in 1 Kings 18:21, Judges 6:31, 11 Kings 19:18, and Jeremiah 2:11.
It is possible that God’s anger would not have been so kindled if ancient people merely worshiped things like the sun and moon, things created by God that contained forces (Laws of Nature) that the people did not understand .but that produce delight and have purpose. Instead, the people chose to worship things that did not benefit and caused great harm to themselves and the world. These are the new gods, they or their ancestors had never known, fearful gods that produce terror. Through techno-witchcraft they then animate engineered to be the new gods of earth-the Johnny-Come-Latelies.
18 [The fear of the Mighty One who created you, you forgot]; the Rock that begat thee thou art unmindful, and hast forgotten God that formed thee.
Is it possible for us to truly forget God? I think not. But we may not incorporate Him into our life or attribute praise, worship, and honor that He deserves. We forsake our relationship with Jesus when we accept fear [not Godly fear] into our lives. This is one reason that the Godly world around us is crumbling before our very eyes, because the masses have embrace the fear and terror of coronavirus rather than the living God who can destroy their life and cast their soul into hell.
When we worship God according to what is found in Holy Scripture, we will not forget Jesus, rather, our relationship will flourish.
We do not often ponder the fact that we were made by the Rock (yeladkha, Jesus Christ, who made us and gave birth to us. It is He that allowed us to be born, teshi, through the power of forgetfulness. What! You may be saying. Forgetfulness is a blessing bestowed upon mankind since it would be impossible to bear the full memory of the pain of horrible memories associated with childbirth, so God uses that blessing to erase those painful memories from your mind. Now, you have the audacity to use that blessing of forgetfulness to forget Jesus. We are repaying His goodness to us with evil.
19 And when the Lord saw it, he abhorred them, because of the provoking of his sons, and of his daughters.
Therefore, the anger of God was kindled against us, it can be read as He scorned us. We must remember that while God, Jesus has the full range of emotion that we have although these characteristics are anthropomorphic, for we cannot fully comprehend the emotion of God the Father or Jesus. Take time to explore the emotions of Jesus and divine anger in prayer or in the Word.
The provocation of His sons and daughters trickles down to us unto this day. Much like parents today, when we behave like God’s Children, we are called Children of God (beloved by the Father and Son). When we behave rebelliously, Scripture calls us His Children.
20 And he said, I will hide [take my Shekhinah glory] my face from them, I will see what their end shall be: for they are a very froward generation, children in whom is no faith.
In the Old Testament God’s presence was the Shekhinah Glory and today it is the Holy Spirit for Christians. It represents divine presence here on earth (immanence) or in heaven (transcendence). When we devote our mind and activities away from God, we no longer have the benefit of feeling the presence of God. Jesus is involved with earthly matters and imparts that light of the Holy Spirit as a present help and Light unto our path in the darkness. General earthly oppression due to the overall condition of humanity is weighing upon many of us resulting in fatigue of Spirit, mind, and body. There are times in the Holy Writ where God hides His mercy.
The Bible says that it is revealed before Me what their end will be. This is written in the future tense in the Hebrew, for our generation. Of course, God already knows but this verse conveys the ideas of our end being seen, a place where time is irrelevant and it is literal-in the present, and vaguely, I will show them their end.
Ouuu…. the generation that changes. Are you aware that biblically speaking when the word change is used it indicates a perverse generation? Furthermore, they have no loyalty. I am seeing this so clearly within the Body of Christ. No loyalty to Jesus and no loyalty to the brethren. It is a tragic insight. The Hebrew word of loyalty is eimem and is related to the ubiquitous amen. It could mean training or loyalty. Will you hearken unto the Words of Jesus? Will you allow Jesus to train you for this season? Will you remain loyal to Him until your death? At the end of the day say Amen to His work in your life this day.
21 They have moved me to jealousy with that which is not God; they have provoked me to anger with their vanities: and I will move them to jealousy with those which are not a people; I will provoke them to anger [vex] with a foolish nation.
What other things can we learn about the Father and Jesus from the word provoke? It comes from the Aramaic and Hebrew root k-n-a which can translate as jealous, passionate, zealous, and provoking.
As I read these passages I keep noticing before Me, before Me. It brings to my mind the following account:
And Israel abode in Shittim, and the people began to commit whoredom with the daughters of Moab.
2 And they called the people unto the sacrifices of their gods: and the people did eat, and bowed down to their gods.
3 And Israel joined himself unto Baalpeor: and the anger of the Lord was kindled against Israel.
4 And the Lord said unto Moses, Take all the heads of the people, and hang them up before the Lord against the sun, that the fierce anger of the Lord may be turned away from Israel.
5 And Moses said unto the judges of Israel, Slay ye every one his men that were joined unto Baalpeor.
6 And, behold, one of the children of Israel came and brought unto his brethren a Midianitish woman in the sight of Moses, and in the sight of all the congregation of the children of Israel, who were weeping before the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
7 And when Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, saw it, he rose up from among the congregation, and took a javelin in his hand;
8 And he went after the man of Israel into the tent, and thrust both of them through, the man of Israel, and the woman through her belly. So the plague was stayed from the children of Israel.
9 And those that died in the plague were twenty and four thousand. Numbers 25
The world today is acting perversely [through change] acting the whore and committing fornication with every unclean thing.
Our idols, fearful no-gods, are hevel: futility or nothingness. We see this in Ecclesiastes frequently. And it is used here as a highlighted insult. Idols are disparaging abominations that have no power to save. These hevel idols are the demons of our age. Why are we clinging to abominations such as corona tests, vaccines, and sensors…idols that do not have the power to save? These are subtle witchcraft schemes my friends.
What is the result of our idolatry? We have been vexed and are identified as not a people [not written in the Lamb’s Book of Life]. All of the ancient conquerors, such as the Babylonians and Romans, were labeled as not a people. Humanity has become a nation of [bumbling] fools and heretics, especially America who once held so much promise as a Godly people. We have become worse the beasts, a stupid people, who have lost control over our terrible actions. If you have ever shepherded a stupid animal, take note.
22 For a fire is kindled in mine anger, and shall burn unto the lowest hell, and shall consume the earth with her increase, and set on fire the foundations of the mountains.
For a fire has flared, the fury of Jesus. He goes forth now destroying and burning. This is not a natural burning fire, but the very fires of Sheol-Gehinnom-Hell. Graves of everlasting burning torment. Jesus is going forth to consume and set the world ablaze with His judgment.
23 I will heap [join] mischief's upon them; I will spend mine arrows upon them.
The Hebrew word is aspeh and is obscure. It could denote end, use up, destroy, gather, or join.
Is wisdom a separate entity from God? We typically understand wisdom as from God the Father. But here the wisdom or memra, brings evil.
Consequently, the Lord begins to shoot His arrows of plagues of all kinds including famine.
24 They shall be burnt [swollen] with hunger, and devoured with burning heat, and with bitter destruction: I will also send the teeth of beasts upon them, with the [fury] poison of serpents of the dust.
The word mezei is an obscure Hebrew word for swollen. There is only conjecture on what it means but when one is in the process of starvation, a person’s belly swells. Kwashiorkor is a severe form of malnutrition associated with a deficiency in dietary protein. The extreme lack of protein causes an osmotic imbalance in the gastro-intestinal system causing swelling of the gut diagnosed as an edema or retention of water.
Spiritually, this swelling of the belly occurs in the ancient biblical ritual of Sotah, a process by which the Priest, determines the fidelity of a woman to her husband, therefore it is a test for adultery. If she is innocent nothing happens but if she is guilty of adultery her belly swells.
Our plagues will include being eaten by the birds from the Hebrew root l-ch-m which can mean fighting or bread. The Hebrew word for war, milchamah, comes from the word lechem or bread, because many wars are fought over food. Some commentators state that demons come fighting with these birds. The question begs to be asked…are these natural birds or things such as Black Hawks, drones, and other robotics who provide a garment with demons inside?
We will also experience evil winds, what could these be? V’ketev meriri is another obscure word. It is almost like the Lord does not want us to know what these judgments to be otherwise we might prepare for them and He desires the full fury of His judgment to be experienced. There is a thought that these evil winds are destruction caused by the demon Meriri which comes from the root mar meaning evil.
Meiri can mean to cut. Ketev in Hebrew; see Isaiah 28:2, Hosea 13:14, Psalms 91:6. Or, 'plague,' 'destruction' (Septuagint); or 'crushed' (Targum).
It can include a bitter plague, or 'bad air,' possibly 'malaria'. Or, 'unquenchable destruction' (Septuagint); 'robbers'; 'evil spirits,' or, 'bad vapors'; 'demons'; or very interestingly, 'madness' see: Deuteronomy 21:18.
Ketav Meriri has power between sun and shade, and a person must be careful not to walk in an area where the two meet, the interstitial (meaning on the boarder between a Light and dark area). Jesus talks this with many metaphors.
Most of you have heard that wild beasts will attack during the End of Days. The good news that these are not domesticated animals-they will not turn and attack you, rather, the chayot or wild animals will attack you.
Topping it off will be the fury of serpents that crawl in the dust.
25 The sword without, and terror within, shall destroy both the young man and the virgin, the suckling also with the man of gray hairs.
The sword of enemy troops will invade from outside the city. Think unconventionally here. These troops can be swarms of spirits, demons, robots, nanotechnology, pathogens, chemicals, military apparatus, and so forth.
Notice the similarity of this biblical account and the novel coronavirus death populations:
· Young men
· Virgins
· Babies
· The aged
Basically, the entirety of humanity is being cut down by the sword, as we speak, and this is only the beginning of sorrows.
Food for thought!

]]>
We are studying Haazinu, Deuteronomy 32, Song of Moses, to glean the precious nuggets to carry with us during our trek in the Wasteland of Wickedness. Let us turn to the Holy Scriptures:
10 He found him in a desert land, and in the waste howling wilderness; he led him about, he instructed him, he kept him as the apple of his eye.
This is such an interesting verse that we fail to ponder. Did God really not know where we were and “accidentally found us in the howling desert? This suggests that God was not involved with His people which is not truth so we must banish this from our thoughts. Then how are we to understand this verse? We can go to Jeremiah 2:2: I remember the lovingkindness of your youth, the love of your espousals, when you went after Me in the wilderness, into a land that was not sown. We can also look at verses that talk about found:
Hosea 9:10 and Psalms 107:35.
Matzah (unleavened bread) is found.
Numbers 11:22 and Joshua 17:16 directs our attention that God, we found (find or discover), supplies our needs and gives enough during this trek in the Wasteland of Wickedness.
During this trek in the Wasteland of Wickedness we find that God provides:
11 As an eagle stirreth up her nest, fluttereth over her young, spreadeth abroad her wings, taketh them, beareth them on her wings:
How precious are you to the Lord? Let us discover some insights from this verse!
Jesus is and will surround you literally, physically, and spiritual during your trek through the Wasteland of Wickedness on our way to eternity with Him.
Jesus is going to instruct you precisely how to live and what is important in these End Days. Jesus is going to guard you as the pupil of His eye.
Just as the Israelite's of old were surrounded by the Shekhinah Glory at the base of Mt. Sinai you also will be surrounded internally through the Holy Spirit and an external manifestation of the Clouds of Glory or Shekhinah Glory. Wow, wow, wow!!! This comes from the Hebrew word, y’soevenhu.
How are we to understand the pupil of His eye? He is going to favor you His precious child in the same manner as a precious part of His own eye. If you want to avoid anthropomorphism God Himself provides you the human with a built-in protective mechanism to protect the pupil or eye with lashes, eyelids and so forth.
We will discuss the eagle a little bit later but drill down on the brooding. This simile stirs up Jesus is going to guide you with mercy and pity like an eagle, which is full of pity towards its young and does not enter the nest suddenly. Although the Scripture is replete with the suddenness of redemption it is actually a gradual process, like one of those old-fashioned silent movie reels. First, the eagle beats and flaps with its wings above its young (this is what we are experiencing right now). She passes between trees, from branch to branch, in order that the young may awaken and have enough strength to receive what the nourishment that the eagle will provide. Isn’t that precisely what is occurring right now with many awakening to both the spiritual and physical ramifications of the scene before us?
Various commentators have varying opinions where this brooding is: hovering, brooding over (like a momma chicken over her chicks), stirring up, or defending is used in the Septuagint.
Hovering over comes from the Hebrew word yerachef which is an action verb used in Genesis 1:2 meaning as blowing.
Therefore, these Clouds of [protective] Glory will hover over you during your wilderness trek, right now, my friends. See the protection and glory of Jesus during this time. Use your spiritual eyes, can you see them?
12 . The Lord alone will in the future make them dwell in the world that He will renew in the future, and the worship of idols shall not exist before Him.
So the Lord alone did lead him, and there was no strange god with him.
We might understand this passage this way, that the Lone alone will guide you [through the Wasteland of Wickedness] and that there will be no alien god with you. While the passage is talking about the leading of the Children of Israel it also speaks to a time in the future where He will guide that generation. We are here my friends. How will He guide our generation? In a world that He will renew in the future. This will be the Millennial Kingdom and then the time afterwards, eternity with Jesus where there will be a new heaven and earth for the old has passed away.
We understand that Jesus and the Holy Spirit will guide us but we have our part that we must, as Christians undertake, and that is to have no alien gods or the worship of idols. Many things can be idols, family, money, jobs, or medicine. The Lord is providing us this fleeting window of opportunity to dispense of any idols that we have fashioned as He prepares us for His kingdom and reign.
13 He made him ride on the high places [strong places] of the earth, that he might eat the increase of the fields; and he made him to suck honey out of the rock, and oil out of the flinty rock; He made them eat of the spoil of their enemies.
While this passage refers to Israel or Promised Land, we too, have a Promised Land in our future. In these days of hardships and difficulty we need to keep this foremost in our minds. Why? Because the Divine Author wants to ensure that we know His promises:
26 A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh. Ezekiel 36:26
There are more promises of blessing and provision for us in mere seconds, but caution is necessary for with our provisions there is a hidden snare!
He gave them spoil over the rulers of the cities and the possessions of them who dwell in strong defenses? He gave them the spoil of their kings and rulers with the riches of princes, and the strength of the people of their land, their possession, with the booty of their hosts and camps, and the blood of their heroes was poured out like water.
We are witnessing and gathering in this abundance and prosperity right now my friends. Just as The Children of Israel were given wealth as they departed Egypt, so too, are we being given provision for our trek through the Wasteland of Wickedness.
14 Butter of kine [cows], and milk of sheep, with fat of lambs, and rams of the breed of Bashan, and goats, with the fat of kidneys [fat] of wheat; and thou didst drink the pure [foaming grape] blood of the grape.
These provisions are one of the rewards of being a child of Jesus!
You might say to yourself, “I am not seeing these fabulous promises.” I look at my devastated indoor orchards with only their dead carcasses remaining and I think to myself, “This does not align with the Word.” There is a passage in Isaiah that is pertinent to our day. It is discussing Jesus, but we are His children and ought to emulate His character. It says:
The Spirit of the LORD will rest on Him—the Spirit of wisdom and understanding, the Spirit of counsel and strength, the Spirit of knowledge and fear of the LORD. And He will delight in the fear of the LORD. He will not judge by what His eyes see, and He will not decide by what His ears hear.
This is an invisible war my friends. We cannot trust what our eyes see, or our ears hear these days except for the Word of Holy Scripture and the Holy Spirit. Just because we do not see it or hear it does not mean these promises do not exist. Jesus wants to embrace radical faith and believe the impossible, the reality of the supernatural. If we have the faith of a mustard seed, we can move mountains.
15 But Jeshurun [Israel] waxed fat, and kicked: thou art waxen fat, thou art grown thick, thou art covered with fatness; then he forsook God which made him, and lightly esteemed the Rock of his salvation.
Here the hidden snare of provision is revealed to us. Let us make careful note. This message is directed to those who are upright in Jesus not the masses of the world or fence-sitting Christians. They prospered, such as we are witnessing right now. But the Word says they grew fat. The idea of prosperity comes from Jeshrun which means osher or wealth. When we grow stong and acquired possessions the Bible says we can become “fat, gross, and coarse.” Consequently, we begin to become complacent in our faith and rebel against Jesus because we are overindulging in food, drink, and being at ease. This is not lost on our adversary. During the Novel Corona Virus people were locked in their homes and many people had no outlets other than to eat, drink and be lazy in their homes. The Christian, on the other hand, was guided to enter the chamber of the King of Kings to pray, search the Holy Writ, and do many acts of great kindness.
Some commentators also mention the acquisition during this time of gold and silver. Remember, metals do not save, they should not be an idol but with them you may have certain blessings or opportunities afforded to you that the person without will not have.
After we have acquired all these promises and blessings what does the carnal Christian do? They forgot Jesus who made them and spurned the Rock of their support. Can we totally abandon God? I am not certain of the depravity that the human mind possesses, it is unknowable to man. These people who cry the name of Jesus forsake the wisdom of God, refuse to worship Him in Spirit and in Truth, an deny fear and trembling of the Almighty Who redeems them during their times a trouble, such as we are now experiencing in greater intensity.
This unfurls many consequences which we will explore next and it is not pretty for it deals with sacrificing to demons. Jesus in His kindness gives us the good news before the bad news. Stay tuned.
Blessings upon your day,
Celeste

]]>
If the Lord came to you and said you have one last opportunity to convey a word or message, what would it be?
In the Old Testament, before Moses departs his life he addresses the people. He both encourages and sternly admonishes the Children of Israel. We can glean many insights that are critical in our time, for we are the generation that is and will be witnessing a similar journey.
The Holy Spirit prompted me to study Haazinu, Deuteronomy 32. My goodness! I see why. So here we go. May Jesus be praised! The battle belongs to Him!
32 Give ear, O ye heavens, and I will speak; and hear, O earth, the words of my mouth.
This is biblical poetry with a clear message for all of Israel by which we are told in Scripture is an example and teaching for us. The Divine Author is saying to all of us, “Give ear, hear the words of my mouth!” “Listen carefully to every nuance and let it permeate your soul.” So critical was this message that Moses called heaven and earth to be witnesses to the message and his message.
2 My doctrine shall drop as the rain, my speech shall be received as the dew, as the small rain upon the tender herb, and as the showers upon the grass:
Let the Words of Jesus Christ be likchi, used for teaching from the root to take. Just as the rain brings life to the world, so too, it infuses vitality to you-spiritually and physically. More importantly, in these days of deception we need to take and accept the words of Jesus as gospel truth, refusing to take or accept the words of the beast system, false prophets of doom, and soon coming anti-christ.
The biblical image of rain is smite, not really, sweet, suggesting a pouring, refreshing, and enlivening rain. Just as rain has the power to give each tree its distinct sweetness, so the Living Word has the power to infuse you with a unique sweetness that can only be obtained from this precious heavenly source.
This rain is to be received, tizal, expressing a downward flow from the heavenly heights. Just as the rain affects the dust and the worms in the dust, so too should the Living Word be received by and affect all parts of the body and our character. We can recall from Isaiah 5:6 and Micah 2:6 that rain is prophecy of Jesus Christ.
Just as s rainstorm blows upon the se’irim, young grass, it strengthens the grass and helps it improve and grow. These are the early rains that are likened almost to a mist or soft rain, gentle and nourishing.
The latter rains, revivim, come from the root of rav or much copious showers. It is much better to learn with the soft approach of Godly lessons than the fire-hose lessons that come quickly and brutally.
3 Because I will publish the name of the Lord: ascribe ye greatness unto our God.
4 He is the Rock, his work is perfect: for all his ways are judgment: a God of truth and without iniquity, just and right is he.
Why the Rock? Rock implies that Gid is the quarry, the origin, the causa efficiens of all things beside Himself. God is the source of our strength. The word is repeated eight times in this poetic song.
Jesus is Just and True, in action and judgment. He is always truly appropriate and righteous. We must bow to these concepts or we can be swayed into believing that we can or can become gods. I am truly thankful that I had this concept before my beloved David was killed. I came face-to-face with it. In death there is no bargaining, arguing, pleading, or temper-tantrum....all one can do is bow your head and accept the sovereign decree of the Holy One.
5 They have corrupted themselves; their spot is not the spot of his children: they are a perverse and crooked generation.
These are those who are idol worshipers. Be wary my friends for we are in the days of the final surge, the ultimate idolatry. They act corruptly with their God and are children of blemish according to the Bible, Septuagint, and Aramaic Peshitta. These are no-sons and they have dealt corruptly with their Creator. They are not His children and their blemish are corruption unto Him.
As His children we need to acknowledge that when we sin, we the beloved children, are acting corruptly, like the non-children. Through our thoughts or actions, we sin but that blemish does not impinge upon our relationship with Him when we come unto Him in sincere repentance.
We are going to each face the following question. Is corruption His? No! The blemish is in His children.
6 Behold! Do ye thus requite the Lord, O foolish people and unwise? Is not He thy father that hath bought thee? hath he not made thee, and established thee?
The Hebrew spelling provides us insight linking this with the words hein or heini, “Here am I”. This draws our attention to the rest of this verse which states that when we fail to study and seek wisdom from Jesus and His words, we transformed into fools. We can become dull in mind and spirit. Sometimes we read the Holy Writ, but we fail to let it absorb into the fiber of our body and change our lives. As we approach our end of days, we should have allowed the Word to into our life dramatically changing us to be Christ-like with abundant fruit.
We really need to comprehend who we are in Jesus Christ for this understanding will assist us in the days to come. The biblical word is kanekha which means “who has acquired you by His precious blood” and/or “Who has placed you in a protective nest.” and/or “Who has fitted you out of everything that will benefit you.” Not only this, but He also fashioned you causing you to exist for His special purpose. He fashioned you through the laws He established which is why we cannot participate in the beast system. We were not created for that system.
7 Remember the days of old, consider the years of many generations: ask thy father, and he will shew thee; thy elders, and they will tell thee.
We need to remember the lovingkindness that He has done for us and back through the generations. His desire is for the welfare of all of humanity which is a far cry than what the global governance beast system has planned. He placed Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden, but they spoiled their opportunity. He then showed His goodness to humanity by providing the Rock of our salvation. God is all good and His actions are good. If we could even understand the Laws of Nature which He wrote for the benefit of mankind, then we would realize [His created] nature is good.
Remember too our sinful ways: the generation of the Flood, Tower of Babel, even the Patriarchs. God showered goodness; man repaid God’s goodness with evil.
You can view the father and elders who will relay to you the days of old in two ways. That can take a family form as in your biological or these days whomever “fathered” you with elders being elderly uncles, aunts, cousins, and so forth. Within the Body of Christ, we can view father and elders as the Prophets of old and the Elders within the church as defined in scripture. Whichever view you hold they should have the capability and duty to share with you the truth of the God’s revelation, and details about the Father, Son, Holy Ghost, salvation, and sin of man, and the hope that is within us. If not, you are in the wrong location.
8 When the Most-High divided to the nations their inheritance, when he separated the sons of Adam, he set the bounds of the people according to the number of the children of Israel.
We often do not ponder our many inheritances given to us by God. One of these are territories and fixed borders. Divisions began to be instituted after the Deluge and Tower of Babel. These fixed boundaries help to distinguished between the holy and the profane. For instance, the twelve, Canaanite nations. Today people are clamoring to open borders and mix the holy with the profane in an anything goes world.
9 For the Lord's portion is his people; Jacob is the lot of his inheritance.
The Hebrew word for lot is chevel meaning rope or a measuring rod. This is so interesting. A rope in biblical times was made of three strands. We can think of Ecclesiastes which describes a three-stranded rope is not easily broken. Is this why scientists are hell bent on changing our DNA code from a two-stand plus God to a two-stand plus Satan configuration?
Circling back to the beginning, what would be your words to family and friends before you leave this earth? Would they be encouraging? Would they be a warning? Would you rebuke? Would you affirm your love?
More to come, next time Divine Provisions for Journey in the Wasteland of Wickedness.
Blessings,
Celeste

]]>That is where contentment comes in. Rest in Hands of the Divine and do the best you can do.
Shepherdess Celeste
]]>
Have you ever pondered that every single thing that we do in life can be elevated? Mopping the floor or cleaning the refrigerator can be elevated when we pray and praise God in heaven.
Even when we follow the commandments in scripture, those even more can be elevated, for they are of the celestial abode, a part of eternity. .That is why when you do a good deed you feel fabulous!
]]>As I seek God from with within the confines of my garden, I know that God created the perfect Garden.
It is said in Legend that seven things were created before creation as we know it came into being and one of those was the Garden in Eden. It was created by the Timeless One, in a state of suspended time or infinity. It evokes awe when we really think about it and new appreciation for our gardens!
The Hebrew word Mikedem to the east can be rendered from long ago. A Garden before earth and the galaxy was created.
God made grow out of the soil every tree that is pleasant to look at, good to the taste, and the Tree of Life in the Middle, and the Tree of Knowledge of what was good and evil
Our bodies are patterned after Garden in Eden, The heart provides life sustaining nutrients for the limbs of the body and the Word of God, the Tree of Life, providing spiritual sustenance.
Our spiritual and physical communities are patterned after the Garden in Eden. Beginning with One and reaching outwards bearing Light, Life, and Living Water.
God placed man in the Garden of Eden to work and guard it, not in the way we understand work and guard today, for all the plants and trees were mature. Some even say there was a bread tree from which baked bread fell. This may sound like a very big stretch, but is it really, when we consider God who created everything in intricate detail? There is a tree today known as the Breadfruit Tree.
]]>Our gardens are so different than the Garden of Eden. We battle weeds, predators, oftentimes toiling against a rocky ground, and hostile climates. It is very difficult to imagine what the Garden of Eden would be like, a garden of no toil and one of vast richness.
The garden of Eden was a protective enclosure. It was protected by a wall of canopy of precious stones, the least of these being gold, indicating the preciousness of these stones. Garments were hard to describe but were of light that flashed like precious stones. In the Bible this garden is referred to many times by different names:
• "Garden in Eden" (Gen. 2:8, 10; 4:16),
• "Garden of YHWH" (Gen. 13:10; Isa. 51:3),
• "Garden of God" (Ezek. 28:13; 31:8–9).
In other biblical references it is referred to as:
• "Eden of blessing."
Genesis tells us general things about the Garden of Eden while Ezekiel expands what we can know about this garden. Ezekiel 28:14 talks about a "holy mountain" in the garden, and Ezekiel 28:14, 16 the prophet talks about "stones of fire." Ezekiel describes them in detail (31:8–9, 18).
The term "garden of YHWH" occurs in literary figures in a number of other passages in the Bible (Gen. 13:10; note Isa. 51:3: "He will make her wilderness (midbar) like Eden and her desert (arabah) like the garden of YHWH," Joel 2:3).
The name Eden has been connected with Akkadian edinu. But this word, extremely rare in Akkadian, is borrowed from the Sumerian eden and means "plain," "steppe," "desert." In fact, one Akkadian synonym list equates edinu with şēru, semantically equivalent to Hebrew midbar, "desert." Was the Garden of Eden placed in a desert, an oasis of sorts?
It is fascinating what the Hebrew root word dn can reveal about the Garden of Eden!
Dainties, luxury items, pampered woman, provider of abundance or divine garden.
The Septuagint translates Gan Eden as ho paradeisos tēs truphēs, "the park of luxuries," whence English "paradise." In Akkadian it is referred to as kiri nuhši, "garden of plenty"
According to Genesis 4:10, a single river flowed out of Eden, watered the garden and then diverged into four rivers whose courses are described and named.
Adventurer hunters and biblical scholars have taken many quests to find the Garden of Eden. Some have some very convincing evidence, although they all come up with different locations.
Next time you are struggling with your garden envision in your mind a time when the Garden of Eden will be restored, as it was in the beginning. And know that in this garden you will not to toil and but walk freely for all eternity.
Tomorrow we begin examining trees for a very special reason. Stay tuned.
]]>I could not imagine life without the stately tree. Her roots search out nutrition and water from the One who provides life, much in the way we search out the Holy One who sustains us. The sturdy trunk reaches towards the heavens. Think of it diversity, it is like a ladder of nutrition, like Jacob’s ladder with nutritional angels going upward and downward.
Leaves on the tree provide shade from the hot sun. They communicate to us when they are unhappy, yellowing, dropping, browning, wilting. If we watch and listen we can hear what they are saying to us.
Why do I refer back to the Legends? Wintertime is the time of reflection, dreams, and plans. Snow is upon the ground and the world is silently waits spring with her host of activity.
I just love the stories about the Garden in Eden. Here is another nugget:
There are eighty myriads of trees in every corner of Paradise, the meanest among them choicer than all the spice trees. In every corner there are sixty myriads of angels singing with sweet voices, and the tree of life stands in the middle and shades the whole of Paradise. It has fifteen thousand tastes, each different from the other, and the perfumes thereof vary likewise. Over it hang seven clouds of glory, and winds blow upon it from all four sides, so that its odor is wafted from one end of the world to the other. Underneath sit the scholars and explain the Scripture. Over each of them two canopies are spread, one of stars, the other of sun and moon, and a curtain of clouds of glory separates the one canopy from the other.
Just imagine......and some day we shall return to this glorious scene!
