PREPARE! PREPARE! PREPARE FOR FIRE!

Message received week of May 30-June 4, 2020

Hear the word of the Lord, you who tremble at My Word. My voice will thunder, and only those who are ready will have the ears to hear Me when I call them. My heart burns with love for My people, and soon you will know the greatest display of this love, as I pour out My Spirit, the Spirit of My consuming fire. This fire will blow upon the hearts of all those who seek Me first, and have emptied and consecrated themselves, sanctifying themselves for My purposes. Already they know My "immanence" in them. 

The fires of My judgment pour out now in earnest, but so very soon, you will know the fire of My Spirit in a way that has not been known since the first Pentecost. The fire I will bring will consume so many more souls this time, and with this fire, comes great strength, power and authority through My remnant. 

Do not despair that another feast (Shavuot/Pentecost) has gone by and you have not seen your transformation. I know all things, and My timing is perfect. I will not delay in My coming in and through My people, and I will not be mocked by the enemy, your adversary. My plan is perfect, and soon you will understand My ways with much greater clarity My loves, so trust Me and continue to obey. 

For those with emptied vessels,  I will pour, I will pour, and you will know such peace and love amidst the darkness. For those who hearts are hardened towards Me, they will know great fear and terror as the Creator makes Himself known in the earth. For the lukewarm who refuse to heed My warnings and continue to find comfort and solace in the world and its darkness, I will spew far from Me, for I cannot pour new wine into old bottles that are defiled.

A great separation will take place as I do this, and a great distinction will be made between those who serve Me, and those who serve false gods. Once My all consuming fire pours out in order to strengthen My army, there is no turning back, and no second chances. Your destiny will be sealed, as you will be either for Me or against Me at that moment. 

Those in My service will run and leap as mighty men and women. I will call them kings and priests, and they will perform supernatural things for My glory. I have raised an army, the likes of which has never been seen before. 

Prepare! Prepare! Prepare for fire! You will either know the precious fire of My Holy Spirit to fully indwell you, or you will know further, greater fires and testing to purify you until you are ready to meet your King at My second coming. 

The hour is here, ready yourselves My beloved.

It comes!!

THE SECOND WAVE IS COMING BUT MY JEWELS WILL SHINE

Message received May 24, 2020

Tell them daughter. Tell them all is not as it seems. But, to you who have opened the door to your heart and allowed Me to find My place of rest, I assure you, you will have no fear. I urge you now to be extremely circumspect and cautious. Do not become distracted and keep your eyes on Me, and all I have taught you. 

It appears as if things are returning to a more normal reality. Nothing could be further from the truth. What little reprieve the powers that be tell you that you are having is only an illusion. Deception reigns everywhere. Do not get caught up in the ways of man again, thinking and planning on life as it was. It will not be again. 

The judgments are upon you, and a second wave more destructive and severe than this plague you have witnessed is right around the corner, and there is very little time until this occurs. This is just as I have told you many years ago- that you would barely be able to process one judgment before the next more devastating one would be upon you. The time has come My children, and everything I have spoken will come to pass. 

For those in the United States especially, your summer season will be short, and before you know it, the dark days will return with severe punishment coming from many directions. The day is far spent and night has come.  I have warned that what is coming will make this current plague pale in comparison. This nation of America that had once boasted of being the proud and the free will be utterly destroyed because of her pride, and her destruction will be final, and I will know her no more. 

While the church was sleeping and ignoring My warnings and counsel, the great serpent began his end time scheme in earnest, and the man of perdition has been tutored and stands ready to make his appearance. As they say themselves, they will not let a good crisis go to waste, and they are poised and aggressively working towards the implementation of their beast system worldwide. 

My children, it is coming sooner than you think. Remember, I am doing something with your time and you must be prepared. You who choose to ignore Me will face terrible consequences for your disobedience. You are not made free by any man or government. I alone grant your freedom. You are slaves to that which you serve. I urge you again and again, choose this day whom you are serving, as your King stands ready for the fulfillment of all things. 

You who walk intimately with Me, will have peace that only I can give. You will walk in My authority and power, and step into the assignments that have been ordained for you since the beginning. Your needs will be provided, and I will protect you. Your heart will now swell with more joy than you've ever known, as you recognize your Messiah and Groom, and My presence permeates every fiber of your being. Rejoice! Your King is here, He is here!! No weapon formed against you will prosper, and one day soon, you will see every knee bow to the Great One, the Only King of All..

16 Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.

21 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.

Romans 6:15-18

15 What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? God forbid.

16 Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?

17 But God be thanked, that ye were the servants of sin, but ye have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered you.

18 Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness.

7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

Psalm 27


1 The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?

2 When the wicked, even mine enemies and my foes, came upon me to eat up my flesh, they stumbled and fell.

3 Though an host should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear: though war should rise against me, in this will I be confident.

4 One thing have I desired of the Lord, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the Lord, and to enquire in his temple.

5 For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion: in the secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me; he shall set me up upon a rock.

6 And now shall mine head be lifted up above mine enemies round about me: therefore will I offer in his tabernacle sacrifices of joy; I will sing, yea, I will sing praises unto the Lord.

7 Hear, O Lord, when I cry with my voice: have mercy also upon me, and answer me.

8 When thou saidst, Seek ye my face; my heart said unto thee, Thy face, Lord, will I seek.

9 Hide not thy face far from me; put not thy servant away in anger: thou hast been my help; leave me not, neither forsake me, O God of my salvation.

10 When my father and my mother forsake me, then the Lord will take me up.

11 Teach me thy way, O Lord, and lead me in a plain path, because of mine enemies.

12 Deliver me not over unto the will of mine enemies: for false witnesses are risen up against me, and such as breathe out cruelty.

13 I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.

14 Wait on the Lord: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the Lord.

BE ANXIOUS FOR NOTHING AS YOUR KING COMES

While in prayer yesterday on the Sabbath, I was asking Yahushua many questions, just talking to Him about what was on my heart. It's always so much, and He is very patient with me, and after awhile, I suddenly heard Him boldly say, "PEACE, BE STILL."  And then, instead of giving me a direct answer to my many questions, He spoke this and then told me to share His words with you, my family in Yahushua:


As the end of all things is here, I say to you, Peace.. Be still.

While you see all that is good now called evil, and that which is evil called good, Peace.. Be still.

As I overturn all things that are not of Me, and lift My hand of protection from this place, I tell you, Peace.. Be still. 

As the beast that is known as the antichrist makes himself known to the world, Peace.. Be still. 

While the powers that be place further and further restrictions on you, and bring this world deeper into slavery, Peace.. Be still.

When you are told you are required to register in order to make purchases or have employment, My instruction is, Peace.. Be still.

While more and more of your freedoms are stripped from you and you know that very difficult choices must be made to comply, or completely trust Me for your provisions, I say to you, Peace.. Be still.

When the powers of darkness threaten to take or separate your family from you, remember these words, Peace.. Be still. 

As the darkness grows wickedly darker, because hell has released her own, know that you abide under the shelter of My wing, and so I say, Peace.. Be still.

When not only your leaders betray you, but all those you thought you could trust, especially those you love, remember what My Word says, father and son, mother and daughter will be divided against you, so Peace.. Be still. 

When you see signs in the sun, moon and stars and distress of nations on the earth, when the seas and the waves roar, hear Me whisper to you, Peace.. Be still.

As the judgments increase in frequency and intensity with floods, storms of great magnitude, tornadoes, hurricanes and terrible winds, just rest as you hear Me say, Peace.. Be still.

When great and terrible fire rains down from the heavens and the earth burns with great fury, I command you to have Peace.. Be still.

As the ground trembles and shakes violently and splits apart all over the world, Peace.. Be still. 

As I withhold the rain in many places and great drought destroys the lands, Peace.. Be still.

When the pestilence and famine have destroyed much of the world's food sources, crops and livestock, remember this is foretold. Peace.. Be still.

As the beast system systematically continues to shut down your freedom to worship,  even criminalizing your belief in Me; remember, I told you they would do this before I came for you, so Peace.. Be still.

When it looks as if you are losing everything in this life, remember, to lose your life here is to gain Me for eternity. Peace.. Be still. 

Let all else fade as the door closes on this age. Be anxious for nothing My children and have Peace.. Be still, for your King comes and His reward is with Him. 

I am at the door.. I come.

***POWERFUL*** WILL YOU BE TRANSFORMED FIRST OR LEFT BEHIND TO ENDURE THE TRIBULATION?!!

Dear Family in Yahushua,

I am truly honored and humbled beyond words to continue to bring Father's messages to you in these urgent times. I never know which message will be the last one posted, as we know we will not always have the internet available like we do now. All praise to Yahushua Our King for who He is, what He provides for us, and His great counsel and wisdom, as the days of man end and we prepare for His glorious Kingdom! 

Hallelujah, the KING IS COMING!!

Message received week of April 24-30, 2020

My children, I want to give further revelation to My disciples of the difference between those I will come to transform first, and those who will remain on the earth to continue in their maturity before My second coming. This day is rapidly approaching, and many do not understand the separation that will be made, as it has been foretold in My Word.

In My Word, you read of three of the seven feasts in Israel that spiritually represent three groups of people on earth. The feasts are Pesach (Passover), Shavuot (Pentecost), and Sukkot (Tabernacles). I will show you how these feasts and what they depict parallel different levels of maturing, which can also be said of My people.

The barley feast at Passover represents My over-comers, those whom I will transform first, as this parallels the first yearly crop to be harvested in Israel. This barley crop, or over-comer group have acquired the maturity needed in order to be prepared for the first resurrection. The main body of the Church will not develop this maturity until later. The wind, or My Holy Spirit blows upon the over-comers, and the chaff, (sin in their life) is immediately exposed and repented of, allowing this group to mature ahead of the second group or wheat, which is the Church. 

The over-comers are extremely sensitive to the move of My Spirit and have learned to hear the voice of their Shepherd clearly. My over-comers are held to a higher accountability, as they have been convicted and fully disciplined and have surrendered earlier in their journey with Me, than those who have not yet learned to overcome. These first-fruits place Me as their first love over everything.

The over-comers have also learned not to instantly react to a situation, but rather take a step back and ask My Holy Spirit how to respond in love. I've taught you always to ask Me to show you what the most loving response is that you can have in any situation. There is a maturity in learning to respond in love, especially to those who have hurt you. I teach in My Word that you are not to react with fruits of the flesh, but instead, respond in the fruits of the Spirit. Over-comers are most often very aware of their thoughts, words and actions and strive to have a fruitful response that reflects Me. This differs from those who carry on with strife, envy, gossip, idol talking and conversation, and those who are not sensitive to My Holy Spirit. I teach that engaging in the things of the flesh and of the world is sin that produces death when not repented for, and I have called you to come out of the world and be separate, or set-apart. 

There are several references in My Word for the over-comers. They are known as My first-fruits, sons of God, 144,000, My elect, My heirs, and those who are the wise virgins who have attained the extra oil that I require in order to qualify for the first transformation. They are called unblemished before the Throne- those who will rise in the first resurrection, and those who will be My kings and priests. They are jewels in My Crown. They will rule and reign with Me for 1000 years and be saved from the lake of fire, taking part in the judgment of the two remaining groups.

My first-fruits are called to a life of brokenness. They often experience hardship and betrayal, and they are those called to suffer along-side of Me in order that they receive the crown of life. They do not spend their lives in comfort. Many suffer infirmities and afflictions of all kinds, whether it be physical or otherwise. They are called to surrender all they know in this life, and they understand that this is for an outcome that I have ordained. They despair and lie in brokenness here, in order that self would be overcome and My glory would be revealed in and through them. They suffer for Me to prove the genuineness of their great faith. They have been called to carry about in their bodies My death, so that My life can be revealed in them. Haven't I spoken before that you are to live a crucified life, but display a glorified one? I am the First-Fruits of them that slept, so are also My over-comers of the first resurrection- the first-fruits of others yet to come.

Just as I was of no reputation, My first-fruits are not highly esteemed here on the earth. They do not come to make friends and are most often not accepted by the world and others. They have come to save souls through their example and demonstration of Me fully alive and manifesting in them. Their journey is one of isolation in the wilderness, and many times, they live as outcasts, misfits, and loners, because the world does not love them and misunderstands them. This is because they are not of this world, as I was not of this world. It is not Our home. I have separated them out first in order that they be trained to lead in the greater, larger harvest. There is an ordained time for My first coming as Groom for My Bride, and because of the fiery trials My first-fruits have overcome before that point, they are the first group to fully mature in Me, allowing My presence to completely govern them. This early maturing qualifies them as leaders.

My over-comers do not consider themselves righteous, because they know the wickedness of their own heart better than most. This is how I have molded them more and more into My image, giving them wisdom, counsel and revelation from My Kingdom. An over-comer will sin less, as they are walking in closer harmony with My Holy Spirit, and repent daily, even several times a day, being quick to take a thought captive and rebuke enemy spirits and their sinful nature. Their discernment is refined, and they walk in obedience with great discipline regularly. They are extremely conscientious and attuned to My Spirit.

My first-fruits do not engage in ungodly activities or worldly affairs unnecessarily or intentionally. They are very careful the company in which they keep. They do not watch, read or listen to things that I find offensive. They call what is holy, holy, and what is evil, evil unlike what the world does today. They are not afraid to stand for truth, no matter the cost, and for many, the cost has been everything, for there is always a great price to pay for this degree of surrender and obedience to Me. This group wants nothing of this world, because they walk in the promises I have made, and know they are only here for My purposes and for such a short time, before I bring them home.

The second crop harvested in Israel happens around Pentecost (Shavuot). This feast is the wheat harvest and represents the Church, those who will not be fully prepared to meet Me, their Groom when I appear for My first-fruits. Their lamps are not completely full of oil, but yet they are still saved from eternal damnation. These children believe in Me. They are saved, and call Me their Messiah. But, they require a greater threshing by trials, in order that they are spiritually prepared to meet Me. This group is what is often called ' the left behind group.' The threshing or judgment that they will be left to endure must be harsher, just as wheat must be threshed to separate out the chaff. However, this will bring about a great purification, and ensure that they are ready to meet Me at My second coming.

This second larger group often compromises in life in various ways, never fully committing their hearts and lives to Me. I love all My people the same, but this group does not believe in walking in complete obedience, and is therefore, not ready to meet Me at the time of the first translation. This group will require greater sanctification in order to be spiritually prepared.

These believers do good things, but are those referred to in My Word as the foolish virgins who do not have extra oil at the time of My first appearing as Groom, and then the door shuts. They are often lukewarm and non-committal, lacking discipline and strong conviction of faith. These souls are justified by faith, but have not fully submitted to My sanctification process. In order to put on My complete nature, more correction is necessary. These will receive judgment according to their works and the level of spiritual preparation they have attained. My judgments will purge them of any lawlessness left in their lives, and this group will be left to endure the great tribulation, either fleeing for their lives from the mark of the beast, or being martyred for My name sake. 

My children, this day is so very close to its fulfillment. If you are not fully indwelled by My Holy Spirit, baptized by fire, born again and living in obedience, then you have not learned to love that which I love and hate that which I hate. Operating this way shows lack of discernment of good and evil. I have taught you in My Word about things unacceptable to Me. To not rid these things in your life is sin. If you truly love Me with all your heart, mind and soul, you would do as I command, and not accept the ways of the world.

Since the eyes are the window of the soul, nothing unclean would enter your eyes or your ears, and you would be convicted by things that are sinister and dark. Watching, reading, or listening to things concerning fornication, lust, homosexuality, murder, idolatry, profanity- all the many things that flood your world today. These would all be offensive to you, as they are to Me. This is why this second group will not be ready when the I, your Groom comes for His First-Fruits.

Do you see now why there must be a separation? For I will only come for a pure and spotless Bride, My Church, one without blemish who has washed her robes and made herself ready. Pray earnestly on these words, because the outcome of ignoring them is so very serious.

The last or third group of people reflected in My feast of Tabernacles is the grape harvest. This group is made up of those who must be trodden underfoot. Grapes, when harvested, have a very tough skin, and therefore, must be crushed in order to obtain the wine. This group will receive the most severe form of judgment, as they are the unbelievers, the whoremongers, the sexually immoral, the murderers, the sorcerers and liars. They will have their part in the lake that burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death. Blessed are they that enter the first resurrection!

My people, I love you beyond measure and I wish that none would perish. Who do you call Master and King over your life? To whom do you give your allegiance? Are you in covenant with the king of darkness, or the One and only King of all Creation and your Father? If these words here I have spoken have convicted you, then please repent now, and turn to Me. Seek My heart with every fiber of your being. Call to Me, and I will answer you. I will never turn My back on those who cry to Me with everything, those who are willing to fully submit to Me. It is still not too late, but in an instant, it will be. Your Groom approaches quickly. Which side of the door will you find yourself on? When I come knocking to take you with Me, will you then beg the other wise virgins to give you their oil, so that you may be full? I tell you, it will not be, and you will remain to endure.

Study My Word. It is all there for you to uncover. I am your Teacher, your Counselor. Wisdom is given to those who ask in earnest and sincerity. As you can plainly see, the judgments have already begun and the severity will increase rapidly. The midnight hour is here. All commences. Please, please make Me first in your life if you have not already done so. I love each of you beyond measure.

James 1:2-4

3 Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience.
4 But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.

Revelation 2:4-5

Revelation 2:17

17 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it.


Revelation 3:5

5 He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels.


Revelation 3:21

21 To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne.

Revelation 5:10

10 And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth.


Revelation 12:11

11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.


Revelation 20:4-6

4 And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.
5 But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.
6 Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.


Revelation 21:8

3 And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience;

Romans 6:23

23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Romans 8:12-25

12 Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh.
13 For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.
14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.
15 For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.
16 The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:
17 And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.
18 For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.
19 For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God.
20 For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope,
21 Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.
22 For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now.
23 And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body.
24 For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for?
25 But if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience wait for it.


Romans 12:1-2

1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.
2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

2 Corinthians 12:9

9 And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.


Hebrews 3:14

14 For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence stedfast unto the end;


Mark 13:13

13 And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.


Galatians 5:19-23 

19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,
20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,
21 Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.

23 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.

Revelation 14:1-5

1 And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Sion, and with him an hundred forty and four thousand, having his Father's name written in their foreheads.
2 And I heard a voice from heaven, as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of a great thunder: and I heard the voice of harpers harping with their harps:
3 And they sung as it were a new song before the throne, and before the four beasts, and the elders: and no man could learn that song but the hundred and forty and four thousand, which were redeemed from the earth.
4 These are they which were not defiled with women; for they are virgins. These are they which follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth. These were redeemed from among men, being the firstfruits unto God and to the Lamb.
5 And in their mouth was found no guile: for they are without fault before the throne of God.


Matthew 13:24-30

25 But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way.
26 But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also.
27 So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares?
28 He said unto them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up?
29 But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them.
30 Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn.


Matthew 25:1-10

1 Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom.

4 But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.
5 While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.
6 And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him.
7 Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps.
8 And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out.
9 But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.
10 And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut.


Ephesians 1:4

4 According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:

John 3:1-12

1 There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews:
2 The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him.
3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
4 Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born?
5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.
8 The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.
9 Nicodemus answered and said unto him, How can these things be?
10 Jesus answered and said unto him, Art thou a master of Israel, and knowest not these things?
11 Verily, verily, I say unto thee, We speak that we do know, and testify that we have seen; and ye receive not our witness.
12 If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you of heavenly things?


Revelation 14:9-10

9 And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand,

Short notes on Feasts:


There are 3 feasts in Israel that directly speak of 3 groups of people. These feasts are Passover (Pesach), Pentecost (Shavuot, Feast of Weeks, Feast of Harvest, Latter First-fruits), and Tabernacles (Sukkot).


1. Passover – the Passover feast was celebrated in early March/late April to commemorate the day Israel left Egypt with Moses to go to the Promised land, the day after Passover, barley was harvested, it was the first crop harvested of the year, this feast was also called the Feast of Unleavened Bread because everyone was required to remove all leaven from their houses for a full seven days; leaven in our day now represents sin


2. Pentecost – the Pentecost feast took place 50 days after the Passover feast, it commemorates the day the fire of God came down on Mount Sinai, wheat was harvested around this feast


3. Tabernacles – the Feast of Tabernacles took place around September, this commemorates the building of the tabernacle in the wilderness; and the time Israel was to cross the Jordan into the Promised land; about this time of year, grapes are harvested


The Hebrew word for barley is sehoraw. Strong’s Concordance says that sehoraw means “plant” in the feminine form and “grain” in the masculine form. Another similar Hebrew word is bar, which means “grain” or “son” as in heir. Symbolically, this is referring to the heirs or sons of God. Therefore:

sehoraw = plant, grain, barley

bar = grain, son, heirs or sons of God

2 Look unto Abraham your father, and unto Sarah that bare you: for I called him alone, and blessed him, and increased him.
3 For the Lord shall comfort Zion: he will comfort all her waste places; and he will make her wilderness like Eden, and her desert like the garden of the Lord; joy and gladness shall be found therein, thanksgiving, and the voice of melody.
4 Hearken unto me, my people; and give ear unto me, O my nation: for a law shall proceed from me, and I will make my judgment to rest for a light of the people.
5 My righteousness is near; my salvation is gone forth, and mine arms shall judge the people; the isles shall wait upon me, and on mine arm shall they trust.

14 The captive exile hasteneth that he may be loosed, and that he should not die in the pit, nor that his bread should fail.
15 But I am the Lord thy God, that divided the sea, whose waves roared: The Lord of hosts is his name.
16 And I have put my words in thy mouth, and I have covered thee in the shadow of mine hand, that I may plant the heavens, and lay the foundations of the earth, and say unto Zion, Thou art my people.

Thayer's Greek LexiconSTRONGS NT 536: ἀπαρχή

ἀπαρχή, ἀπαρχῆς, ἡ (from ἀπάρχομαι:

a. to offer firstlings or first-fruits;

b. to take away the first-fruits; cf. ἀπό in ἀποδεκατόω), in the Sept. generally equivalent to רֵאשִׁית; the first-fruits of the productions of the earth (both those in a natural state and those prepared for use by hand), which were offered to God; cf. Winers RWB under the word Erstlinge (BB. DD. under the word First-fruits): ἡ ἀπαρχή namely, τοῦ φυράματος, the first portion of the dough, from which sacred loaves were to be prepared (Numbers 15:19-21), Romans 11:16. Hence, in a transferred use, employed a. of persons consecrated to God, leading the rest in time: ἀπαρχή τῆς Ἀχαΐας the first person in Achaia to enroll himself as a Christian, 1 Corinthians 16:15; with εἰς Χριστόν added, Romans 16:5; with a reference to the moral creation effected by Christianity all the Christians of that age are called ἀπαρχή τίς (a kind of first-fruits) τῶν τοῦ Θεοῦ κτισμάτων, James 1:18 (see Huther at the passage) (noteworthy is εἵλατο ὑμᾶς ὁ Θεός ἀπαρχήν etc. as first-fruits] 2 Thessalonians 2:13 L Tr marginal reading WH marginal reading; Christ is called ἀπαρχή τῶν κεκοιμημένων as the first one recalled to life of them that have fallen asleep, 1 Corinthians 15:20, 23 (here the phrase seems also to signify that by his case the future resurrection of Christians is guaranteed; because the first-fruits forerun and are, as it were, a pledge and promise of the rest of the harvest).

b. of persons superior in excellence to others of the same class: so in Revelation 14:4 of a certain class of Christians sacred and dear to God and Christ beyond all others (Schol. ad Euripides, Or. 96 ἀπαρχή ἐλέγετο οὐ μόνον πρῶτον τῇ τάξει, ἀλλά καί τό πρῶτον τῇ τιμή).

c. οἱ ἔχοντες τήν ἀπαρχήν τοῦ πνεύματος who have the first-fruits (of future blessings) in the Spirit (τοῦ πνεύματος is genitive of apposition), Romans 8:23; cf. what Winer § 50, 8 a. says in opposition to those (e. g. Meyer, but see Weiss in edition 6) who take τοῦ πνεύματος as a partitive genitive, so that οἱ ἔχοντες τήν ἀπαρχήν τοῦ πνεύματος are distinguished from the great multitude who will receive the Spirit subsequently. (In Greek writings from (Sophocles) Herodotus down.)

1. to follow one who precedes, join him as his attendant, accompany him: Matthew 4:25; Matthew 8:19; Matthew 9:19; Matthew 27:55; Mark 3:7; Mark 5:24 ( Lachmann); (R G); Luke 22:39, 54; Luke 23:27; John 1:37f, 43 (); , etc.; Acts 12:8; Acts 13:43; Acts 21:36; 1 Corinthians 10:4; distinguished from προάγειν in Matthew 21:9; Mark 11:9; tropically, τά ἔργα αὐτῶν ἀκολούθει μετ' αὐτῶν, their good deeds will accompany them to the presence of God the judge to be rewarded by him, Revelation 14:13; on the other hand, ἠκολούθησαν αὐτῆς αἱ ἁμαρτίαι ἄχρι τοῦ οὐρανοῦ, Revelation 18:5, but here for ἠκολούθησαν G L T Tr WH have restored ἐκολλήθησαν; (σημεῖα τοῖς πιστεύσασιν ἀκολουθήσει ταῦτα, Mark 16:17 Tr WH text (where others παρακολουθέω, which see)). to follow one in time, succeed one: Revelation 14:8f.

Since among the ancients disciples were accustomed to accompany their masters on their walks and journeys — (others derive the usage that follows from the figurative sense of the word directly; cf. e. g. 2 Macc. 8:36 τό ἀκολουθεῖν τοῖς νόμοις; M. Antoninus 1. vii. § 31 ἀκολούθησον θεῷ, and Gataker at the passage), ἀκολουθέω denotes

2. to join one as a disciple, become or be his disciple; side with his party, (A. V. follow him): Matthew 4:20, 22; Matthew 9:9; Matthew 19:27; Mark 1:18; Mark 8:34; Luke 5:11, 27, etc.; John 8:12 (where Jesus likens himself to a torch which the disciple follows); οὐκ ἀκολούθει ἡμῖν he is not of our band of thy disciples, Mark 9:38 to cleave steadfastly to one, conform wholly to his example, in living and if need be in dying also: Matthew 10:38; Matthew 16:24; John 12:26; John 21:22. This verb is not found in the Epistles except in 1 Corinthians 10:4. As in the classics, it is joined mostly with a dative of the object; sometimes with μετά τίνος, Luke 9:49; Revelation 6:8 (Treg. marginal reading dative); ; (so also in Greek writings; cf. Lob. ad Phryn., p. 353f; (Rutherford, New Phryn., p. 458f)); ὀπίσω τίνος, Matthew 10:38; Mark 8:34 (where R L WH Tr marginal reading ἐλθεῖν), Hebrew פְּלֹנִי אַחֲרֵי הָלַך, cf. 1 Kings 19:21; see Winers Grammar, 234 (219); (Buttmann, 172 (150), cf. ἀκολουθέω κατόπιν τίνος, Aristophanes Plutarch, 13.
