The Olive tree understanding Israel Part Two Where to from here?

THE OLIVE TREE – UNDERSTANDING ISRAEL
PART TWO WHERE TO FROM HERE?

Overview of Part Two
⦁ In this next segment I am going to include an article I found on Prophecy news watch 05 October 2016. 
⦁ After this article will be an explanation of how the article is evidence of how close we are to our Lord Jesus Christ’s second coming.  I also believe that the Third Jewish Temple will be built very shortly.
I intend to do a series of posts on the temple and how it is related to the return of Christ and why the past temples and this present coming temple is important to God.  This series will be added at a future date.
⦁ The Jews in the article that I am including in this post are preparing people for the arrival of a false messiah.  This messiah will be a political messiah, one who will deceive the whole world and cause them to follow after him and to take his mark as an act of allegiance to him.
⦁ I will also explain about why I believe God will be sending the people of Israel into exile again not in judgment but to preserve the lives of the remant.
⦁ I will share about what God has laid on my heart concerning how we can be of service to His people in different ways to preserve their lives during the Great Tribulation period.  
⦁ Those who are reading this blog, please be in prayer after you have read the blog, on how you can be of service to the Lord in this.   
⦁  My next study after this post in this series on the Olive Tree understanding Israel, will be on Joseph and Moses The study on Joseph will be about how God used him to preserve his family alive when there was a severe famine on the land and how God could be getting us ready to do the same in our time before Jesus returns.  
⦁ Then the study on Moses will be about how God used Moses as a deliverer to bring God's people out of Egypt.  
This study on Joseph and Moses is where the root of the tree the Patriarchs grow up to become the trunk of the Olive Tree through Joseph and Moses.


Here is the article:

Sanhedrin Rules Prophesied Return Of Jews To Israel Has Been Fulfilled!
http://www.prophecynewswatch.com/article.cfm?recent_news_id=705
  BY TOM OLAGO OCTOBER 05, 2016
The Jewish people are about to restore and commemorate an ordinance that has been dormant for about 2000 years - almost as far back as the days when Jesus Christ walked the earth. This New Year's celebration, or Rosh HaShanah, will include the recitation of the Jubilee year-counting mitzvah or Biblical commandment.
In attempting to elucidate the importance of this simple ceremony, Adam Eliyahu Berkowitz of Breaking Israel News quoted the following scripture: "And ye shall hallow the fiftieth year, and proclaim liberty throughout all the land unto all the inhabitants thereof: it shall be a Jubilee unto you" (Leviticus 25:10; The Israel Bible).
Berkowitz explained that counting the Jubilee is a simple mitzvah, reciting just a few lines, but performing this mitzvah is a declaration that the prophesied return of the Jews to Israel has been fulfilled, thereby establishing a basis for the rebuilding of the Jewish Temple.
Unbeknownst to all but a few witnesses, Berkowitz further clarified that as Rosh HaShanah ended eleven months ago, the nascent Sanhedrin concluded months of deliberation by ruling that certain conditions had been met requiring the Nation of Israel to begin counting the Jubilee cycle. Rabbi Avraham Dov Ben Shor recited the blessing and the 49-year cycle began again.

When Rosh HaShanah - the Jewish New Year - ends on the evening of Tuesday 4th October, it will be time for Jews to count the second year of the Jubilee cycle. The blessing and the count are as follows:
"Blessed art Thou, Lord our God, King of the Universe, Who sanctifies us in His commandments, and has commanded us to count the sabbaticals and the Jubilees".
This year is the second year of the first Jubilee, and the second year for the first sabbatical in the first Jubilee.
It is also worthy to note the central role that has been played by the Sanhedrin in these developments. According to Wikipedia.com, the Sanhedrin was an "assembly" or "council" of twenty-three to seventy-one men appointed in every city in the Land of Israel.  
On October 13, 2004 the Sanhedrin, the highest religious tribunal of the Jewish state, was re-inaugurated by a group of rabbis in Tiberias after 1,600 years of absence.
In the Hebrew Bible, Moses and the Israelites were commanded by God to establish courts of judges who were given full authority over the people of Israel, who were commanded by God to obey every word the judges instructed and every law they established. Judges in ancient Israel were the religious leaders and Teachers of the nation of Israel. 
The Sanhedrin is mentioned in the Gospels in relation to the trial of Jesus and several times in the Acts of the Apostles.
Specific conditions outlined in Jewish law had to be considered by the Sanhedrin before reinstating this mitzvah. Unlike most Torah commandments being observed today, which are incumbent on an individual, the Jubilee is a national mitzvah. Its observance is dependent upon most of the Jewish people being in the land of Israel.
To begin counting the Jubilee last year, the Sanhedrin, as a bet din (rabbinic court), ruled that the Jews have returned to inherit the land as a nation, and not just as individuals. This requires at least 600,000 Jews, equal to the number of Israelites that returned to Israel from Egypt under Joshua. 
Israel has far exceeded the required number for quite some time. On the eve of this Jewish new year, the State of Israel has a population of 8.585 million, 172,000 more than the same time last year. 
Jews make up close to three-quarters of the population at 6.4 million residents, while Israel's almost 1.8 million Arabs make up one-fifth of the population.  In the past year alone, 25,000 new Jewish immigrants arrived in Israel. 
Rabbi Hillel Weiss, spokesman for the Sanhedrin, explained to Breaking Israel News, "The Sanhedrin ruled that we are now clearly in the prophesied third inheritance of the land, the first being by Joshua, the second after the Babylonian exile. 
There are 5 mitzvot connected to the Jubilee: counting the Jubilee, letting free slaves, returning land, blowing the shofar, and forgiving debts," Rabbi Weiss explained. "We have reinstituted one: the counting of the Jubilee."
To signify the reinstitution of the Jubilee, and also to commemorate the Jubilee of Jerusalem, the Sanhedrin has issued a medallion. One side is engraved with an image of Solomon's Temple, flanked by two shofars, symbolizing the Jubilee. 
The other side shows a lit seven-branched menorah, two cherubim, and a Hebrew inscription stating that the third inheritance of the land of Israel by the Jews has officially been declared. The Sanhedrin is selling the medallion and setting aside the proceeds for use in the Third Temple.
"Sale of this medallion will serve as the basis for the mitzvah of the half-shekel, which was collected from every Jewish male," Rabbi Hillel Weiss explained. 

"As such, the money will go towards acquiring animals, grain, oil, and wine, for sacrificial purposes. It will also be used for building and maintaining the temple."

⦁ As you can see from the above article the things are falling rapidly into place for the final week of years Daniel’s 70th week to come about which is the last week of the Old Testament to be fulfilled.  
This allows for a false political messiah like figure to arise for a third temple to be rebuilt with its sacrifices and most importantly for God to bring His righteous judgments upon the earth.  
As well as for Him to send out His prophetic witnesses from the twelve tribes of Israel and for the two witnesses to be in Jerusalem as His olive trees and menorahs.
⦁ These things will be dealt with more in depth when I teach on the articles to do with the temple and the rise of the antichrist and on the further studies on the Olive Tree of Israel.

Why will the Israeli people go into another exile?  Is this punishment or to preserve Life?
⦁ This is a very important question to ask and I will show from scriptures that the Jews will go into exile again but it is not to punish them this time round it is to preserve life to preserve a remnant that God wants to save for Himself at the end of the age.
⦁ This remnant will be the ones who will call for the Lord Jesus to come and save them at the time of the armies surrounding Jerusalem.  Some of these people will be praying for God from where they are hiding in different parts of the world to save their land and people.
⦁ Others could be hiding in the hills of Judea or could be in Jerusalem the leaders both political and religious leaders the descendants of the ones who rejected Jesus.  These ones could be in Jerusalem serving the beast thinking that he is God some will know who he is in reality and others could be just blinded and won’t wake up to the reality of his true nature until the armies invade Jerusalem with the intent of wiping out all Jews.
⦁ Indeed two thirds will be wiped out in Israel and a third will escape.  This is how all of Israel will be saved when the deliverer comes from heaven’s Zion to redeem Israel and how when the descendants of those who rejected Jesus the first time will mourn for Him as a nation.  For now they see themselves as a nation who has fulfilled the scriptures in coming back out of exile as spoken of in the article above.
⦁ Yet they are not thinking about how God will send those whose hearts are not closed to Him out of Israel to save lives.
⦁ What I would like us to focus on now is that I believe that God will cause His Israeli people to go into exile again. That when the antichrist comes to sit in the temple to be worshiped as God that some people will wise up to what he is going to do and will leave the country to find safety elsewhere before the borders will be closed and they cannot get out. 
⦁ Those Israelis who think that the false messiah is the real deal will stay in Israel and will end up losing their lives.  For those who are unable to make it out of the country will have to try and find safety within the nation of Israel hiding in the wilderness or in caves and the mountains.  For Jesus does tell His people to flee to the mountains when the armies surround Jerusalem.
⦁ While other Israelis who are still within the nations who never made Aliyah to Israel will need to find safe places to shelter until the real messiah comes back.
⦁ So God has a fourth exile of a remnant of people and when Jesus returns.  He will be the one to draw the people back to Israel in a fourth return to Israel from the nations where they have been scattered during the time of the Great Tribulation.
⦁ This is where we are to come in to help these people and others the Lord sends our way when these things start to happen on the earth.  
⦁ That God may use our lands of Australia and New Zealand and other lands as well to help hide these people in the wilderness or bush of the lands which are at the ends of the earth.
⦁ Our lands could be among those from where He will call His people from the ends of the earth the isles of the sea who are looking for the Lord’s salvation and this will include His Israeli people.
⦁ Once they have repented and called for Him to save them and this will include those in Israel and Jerusalem He will not be tardy in coming from heaven to earth to save them.  
⦁ For Zion Jerusalem will have travailed and have brought forth her man-child who is currently in heaven waiting for His people to open the door to Him again as a nation to be their king, their kinsman redeemer and to come and save them and they are to say blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord.  
When they say this then Jerusalem will see their Lord again for He will come in all of His glory in the clouds with His angels gathering up His people again along the way who believe in Him.  He will be resurrecting those who are asleep in Him and catching up those who are alive in Him at the end of the age after the time of the Great Tribulation.
⦁ I will include scriptures about the Lord taking His people into the wilderness at the end of these points.  Then we will look at what the Lord has put on my heart about how I believe He may want us to help Him in preserving His people.  

The role of the ANZAC nations in helping the Israeli people during the Great Tribulation
⦁ In World War I the ANZAC nations helped win Jerusalem back through the last charge of the light horsemen in 1917 a hundred years ago and I believe there was an Australian presence in then Palestine, Jerusalem and Syria during the Second World War as well.
⦁ So maybe in these last days before the second coming of Christ the ANZAC nations have a role to play again to help God’s people to be preserved for the Lord to return and save a remnant for Himself. God will have other nations too around the world to help but I feel our two nations could very well play a key role in preserving His people alive. 
⦁ We don’t know when the people will flee but I will surmise that they will flee not long after the beast comes to power and sits on the throne in the temple wanting to be worshiped as God.  
That those who fear the Lord God of Israel be they Christian or non-Christian that they will up and flee from the nation of Israel while they can do so before the borders are closed to escape being killed by the Antichrist who will want to kill all Jews and Christians in the land.  Especially those who won’t bow the knee to him and take his mark. 
⦁ The passages below talk about Jerusalem being surrounded by armies and Jesus tells people to flee when they see Jerusalem being surrounded by armies and when they see the Abomination of Desolation standing in the holy place where it shouldn’t be.  That is the temple sanctuary where sacrifices were offered to the true God of Israel.  Jesus tells them to get out of there while they can do so.  
⦁ So people will be fleeing for their lives with just the clothes on their backs and we will need to have clothes in supply to give to them when they arrive on our shores and other things they may need.
⦁ We don’t know the exact hour of when the Lord will return to the earth or when Jerusalem is surrounded by the armies of the nations of the world but you can be assured of this once His people call for Him, He won’t be slow in coming down from heaven to save them from their enemies.  
⦁ This is just one way at looking at these scriptures but it may not be the only way.  Let the Lord speak to you and show you if what I am saying to you is right or not.
⦁ Everything that we are experiencing at the end of the age the Lord Jesus went through as well which includes His people going into exile to save their lives.  
When He was a small child God warned Joseph in a dream to take His Son down to Egypt to escape King Herod’s wrath Matthew 2:1-18.  So God may very well send His people out of Israel not to Egypt but to other parts of the world including Australia and New Zealand to save their lives. 
⦁ Then when they come back to Israel at the return of Jesus see Isaiah 11:10-16 that this will be their fourth return this time to true inheritance of the land with their God through His Son dwelling in their midst restoring all things to Israel.

Scriptures to back up what I am saying about the Israeli people going into exile
Matthew 24:15-22
15 When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:)
16 Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains:
17 Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house:
18 Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes.
19 And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days!
20 But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day:
21 For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.
22 And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.
Luke 21:20-24
20 And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is nigh.
21 Then let them which are in Judaea flee to the mountains; and let them which are in the midst of it depart out; and let not them that are in the countries enter thereinto.
22 For these be the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled.
23 But woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck, in those days! for there shall be great distress in the land, and wrath upon this people.
24 And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled.
Revelation 12:13-17
13 And when the dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth, he persecuted the woman which brought forth the man child.
14 And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent.
15 And the serpent cast out of his mouth water as a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away of the flood.
16 And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed up the flood which the dragon cast out of his mouth.
17 And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.
Isaiah 51:4-5
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.

Luke 18:1-8
1 And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint;
2 Saying, There was in a city a judge, which feared not God, neither regarded man:
3 And there was a widow in that city; and she came unto him, saying, Avenge me of mine adversary.
4 And he would not for a while: but afterward he said within himself, Though I fear not God, nor regard man;
5 Yet because this widow troubleth me, I will avenge her, lest by her continual coming she weary me.
6 And the Lord said, Hear what the unjust judge saith.
7 And shall not God avenge his own elect, which cry day and night unto him, though he bear long with them?
8 I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?
Romans 11:25-27
25 For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fullness of the Gentiles be come in.
26 And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob:
27 For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins.
Revelation 12:1-6
1 And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars:
2 And she being with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered.
3 And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads.
4 And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born.
5 And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and to his throne.
6 And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days.
Isaiah 66:7-8
7 Before she travailed, she brought forth; before her pain came, she was delivered of a man child.
8 Who hath heard such a thing? who hath seen such things? Shall the earth be made to bring forth in one day? or shall a nation be born at once? for as soon as Zion travailed, she brought forth her children.

Within the nation of Israel God dealing with His people 
Zechariah 12:2-3, 8 - 13:1
2 Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling unto all the people round about, when they shall be in the siege both against Judah and against Jerusalem.
3 And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it.
8 In that day shall the Lord defend the inhabitants of Jerusalem; and he that is feeble among them at that day shall be as David; and the house of David shall be as God, as the angel of the Lord before them.
9 And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem.
10 And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for his firstborn.
11 In that day shall there be a great mourning in Jerusalem, as the mourning of Hadadrimmon in the valley of Megiddon.
12 And the land shall mourn, every family apart; the family of the house of David apart, and their wives apart; the family of the house of Nathan apart, and their wives apart;
13 The family of the house of Levi apart, and their wives apart; the family of Shimei apart, and their wives apart;
14 All the families that remain, every family apart, and their wives apart.
Zechariah 13:1
1 In that day there shall be a fountain opened to the house of David and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem for sin and for uncleanness.
Zechariah 13:8-9
8 And it shall come to pass, that in all the land, saith the Lord, two parts therein shall be cut off and die; but the third shall be left therein.
9 And I will bring the third part through the fire, and will refine them as silver is refined, and will try them as gold is tried: they shall call on my name, and I will hear them: I will say, It is my people: and they shall say, The Lord is my God.
Malachi 3:1-4
1 Behold, I will send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me: and the Lord, whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to his temple, even the messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight in: behold, he shall come, saith the Lord of hosts.
2 But who may abide the day of his coming? and who shall stand when he appeareth? for he is like a refiner's fire, and like fullers' soap:
3 And he shall sit as a refiner and purifier of silver: and he shall purify the sons of Levi, and purge them as gold and silver, that they may offer unto the Lord an offering in righteousness.
4 Then shall the offering of Judah and Jerusalem be pleasant unto the Lord, as in the days of old, and as in former years.
Hosea 2:14-23
14 Therefore, behold, I will allure her, and bring her into the wilderness, and speak comfortably unto her.
15 And I will give her her vineyards from thence, and the valley of Achor for a door of hope: and she shall sing there, as in the days of her youth, and as in the day when she came up out of the land of Egypt.
16 And it shall be at that day, saith the Lord, that thou shalt call me Ishi; and shalt call me no more Baali.
17 For I will take away the names of Baalim out of her mouth, and they shall no more be remembered by their name.
18 And in that day will I make a covenant for them with the beasts of the field and with the fowls of heaven, and with the creeping things of the ground: and I will break the bow and the sword and the battle out of the earth, and will make them to lie down safely.
19 And I will betroth thee unto me for ever; yea, I will betroth thee unto me in righteousness, and in judgment, and in lovingkindness, and in mercies.
20 I will even betroth thee unto me in faithfulness: and thou shalt know the Lord.
21 And it shall come to pass in that day, I will hear, saith the Lord, I will hear the heavens, and they shall hear the earth;
22 And the earth shall hear the corn, and the wine, and the oil; and they shall hear Jezreel.
23 And I will sow her unto me in the earth; and I will have mercy upon her that had not obtained mercy; and I will say to them which were not my people, Thou art my people; and they shall say, Thou art my God.
Isaiah 4:2-3
 In that day shall the branch of the Lord be beautiful and glorious, and the fruit of the earth shall be excellent and comely for them that are escaped of Israel.
3 And it shall come to pass, that he that is left in Zion, and he that remaineth in Jerusalem, shall be called holy, even every one that is written among the living in Jerusalem:


I have more to add on this subject but in reality as what I want to say is to do with preserving peoples lives.  I do not wish to put that on a public blog.

If people want to contact me for this information they can contact me on either of these two email addresses:

jennifer.bolton58@gmail.com
and
jennifer.bolton74@yahoo.com

and I will send them a word doc of the things I would have said if I was in a church meeting but it would be a closed church meeting.  

 Meaning I would only speak to those that God has moved their hearts to be of service to Him to offer their time, money, homes, abilities, etc to help preserve His Jewish people and those who belong to Christ from the nations during the dark times of the coming Great Tribulation.

My husband and I are willing to come and speak at any church, small group, house church / bible study group, the size of the group is not important that is interested but first seek the Lord if He wants you to bring us to your church to share on this very important topic.

I am not concerned if the group is only a small group or if it is a large group.  I am willing to speak to a group even if there are five people interested or just two couples.

In fact the smaller the group the better in some cases.  If it is a combination of christians from different churches or bible study groups the better too.  

My main concern as will be my husband's too is to speak to people whose hearts are open to hear what God has to say concerning the preserving of the remnant of His people alive at the end of the age.  We want to speak to those whom God has moved their hearts to help.

Sometimes it is safer to speak to smaller groups and it is less formal more intimate and it is easier to speak to people one on one rather than trying to reach a large audience who may not be totally interested in what is being said.

I will leave it with the Lord to speak to whoever will read this blog post if He wants you / your church or bible study group to invite us to speak at your church or bible study group wherever that may be in the world.

God's word of warning to New Zealand of what He will do to those nations who reject both Israel and His Son Jesus
  • I will also include a word the Lord gave me nearly six years ago concerning New Zealand.  It is starting to happen now for I have also included with the word some things that came on the news by radio and TV on the 30 January 2018. God was affirming this word to me that the word I had was from Him.
  • Yes the word indicates that God will be dealing with New Zealand as a nation overall but He also does state that He will take care of those people who will stand with Him and stand with His Israel by looking after and hiding His Jewish people in safe places. 
  •  God will also be hiding these people in Himself who will be looking after His people at this point in time who will be like little sanctuaries for them.  
  • In other words God will hide the people in places where those looking for them will least expect them to be. 
  •  People will look but won't find them for they will be hidden under the wings of the Almighty and no one will be able to harm them or snatch them out of His hand see Psalm 91.
  • Also remember that when Elijah was sent by God to the widow woman it was in the land that Jezebel comes from this account is found in 1 Kings 17.   
  • When Ahab was sending people out to track Elijah down he was not able to find him because God hid him right under their noses in a place they least expected him to be.
  • Jezebel did come from Phonetica which is modern day Lebanon you can look this up here:

1 Kings 17:1-16
1 And Elijah the Tishbite, who was of the inhabitants of Gilead, said unto Ahab, As the Lord God of Israel liveth, before whom I stand, there shall not be dew nor rain these years, but according to my word.
And the word of the Lord came unto him, saying,
Get thee hence, and turn thee eastward, and hide thyself by the brook Cherith, that is before Jordan.
And it shall be, that thou shalt drink of the brook; and I have commanded the ravens to feed thee there.
So he went and did according unto the word of the Lord: for he went and dwelt by the brook Cherith, that is before Jordan.
And the ravens brought him bread and flesh in the morning, and bread and flesh in the evening; and he drank of the brook.
And it came to pass after a while, that the brook dried up, because there had been no rain in the land.
And the word of the Lord came unto him, saying,
Arise, get thee to Zarephath, which belongeth to Zidon, and dwell there: behold, I have commanded a widow woman there to sustain thee.
10 So he arose and went to Zarephath. And when he came to the gate of the city, behold, the widow woman was there gathering of sticks: and he called to her, and said, Fetch me, I pray thee, a little water in a vessel, that I may drink.
11 And as she was going to fetch it, he called to her, and said, Bring me, I pray thee, a morsel of bread in thine hand.
12 And she said, As the Lord thy God liveth, I have not a cake, but an handful of meal in a barrel, and a little oil in a cruse: and, behold, I am gathering two sticks, that I may go in and dress it for me and my son, that we may eat it, and die.
13 And Elijah said unto her, Fear not; go and do as thou hast said: but make me thereof a little cake first, and bring it unto me, and after make for thee and for thy son.
14 For thus saith the Lord God of Israel, The barrel of meal shall not waste, neither shall the cruse of oil fail, until the day that the Lord sendeth rain upon the earth.
15 And she went and did according to the saying of Elijah: and she, and he, and her house, did eat many days.
16 And the barrel of meal wasted not, neither did the cruse of oil fail, according to the word of the Lord, which he spake by Elijah.

and Jesus said this about Elijah in Luke 4
Luke 4:16-26
16 And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up: and, as his custom was, he went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and stood up for to read.
17 And there was delivered unto him the book of the prophet Esaias. And when he had opened the book, he found the place where it was written,
18 The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised,
19 To preach the acceptable year of the Lord.
20 And he closed the book, and he gave it again to the minister, and sat down. And the eyes of all them that were in the synagogue were fastened on him.
21 And he began to say unto them, This day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears.
22 And all bare him witness, and wondered at the gracious words which proceeded out of his mouth. And they said, Is not this Joseph's son?
23 And he said unto them, Ye will surely say unto me this proverb, Physician, heal thyself: whatsoever we have heard done in Capernaum, do also here in thy country.
24 And he said, Verily I say unto you, No prophet is accepted in his own country.
25 But I tell you of a truth, many widows were in Israel in the days of Elias, when the heaven was shut up three years and six months, when great famine was throughout all the land;
26 But unto none of them was Elias sent, save unto Sarepta, a city of Sidon, unto a woman that was a widow.

Background to the word and why Dunedin was mentioned along with the rest of New Zealand
Someone I knew who lived in Dunedin was going to write to the council about his concerns about the growth of the Muslims population in the town.  The rise of the religion of Islam, his concerns about the rise of Chrislam in the churches and about the interfaith dialogues going on in the university of Dunedin, the various churches etc.

He asked for my advice concerning what to write to the council on this subject and could I give him tips on what the Muslims believe as I had studied Islam at the University of Wollongong when I was a student there.  It was part of the subject I took on religious studies.


Also when people became citizens of New Zealand in the council held ceremonies and this is what really caused this person I knew to want to write to the council about his concerns re the growth of Islam.  The council allowed people to swear their allegiance to New Zealand either on the Bible or the Koran.

I had worked for the Australian Dept of Immigration and Citizenship as a Citizenship officer we had people either take the oath or pledge of citizenship but no one swore the oath on any holy book.

What New Zealand did in their council ceremony was different to what I had known in Australia.

So I wrote back to this person and explained to him that the Muslims in taking the oath of citizenship on the Koran were not in effect taking the oath to become New Zealand citizens but were in reality swearing allegiance to their god by taking the oath on their holy book.  

That they will do all in their power under what is set out in that book to bring New Zealand under their god's control and bring New Zealand and any other country under their influence and ownership to have Islam as the dominant religion over all others including Christianity.

As I was writing my reply to him by email, the Lord gave me the word for Dunedin and New Zealand overall and this is the word He gave to me. 
Prophetic word for Dunedin and New Zealand given in March / April 2012
No more says the Lord of Hosts, no more will I be patient and hold back, I have held back and held back my righteous judgements against this land and its people but no more.  A time will now come when I will winnow and shake, winnow and shake this land to see what is in the hearts of the people within this land. 

 They have turned their backs on Me and My Israel the church has gone to sleep and the politicians have turned away from the truth they have become full of idolatry and drunk with power and corruption, they have rejected Me and My ways and so now I will give them totally over to this a secular society that will eventually come under the rule of Islam I will reject them and cast them out behind My back.  My judgements I will no longer refrain from pouring out upon this nation.  

Those who hold to My word and ways and support My land and people I will keep safe and preserve their lives even giving them their lives for booty.  These will escape with their lives intact, while others may be required to offer up to Me their lives as a drink offering unto Me.  I will winnow and shake, winnow and shake this land I will purge it and turn it upside down and winnow it, I will pour out My wrath and indignation upon this city of Dunedin and New Zealand I will cause economic upheaval, political change, economic downturn, fire, floods, earthquakes, snow and ice will I send against this land and people and this city.  

They will experience My hot displeasure in choosing the god of Islam over Me the living God of Israel, they have chosen a lie for the truth they have rejected my truth, professing to be wise they have become fools and I will give them over to their foolishness and folly and they will be taken captive by the very people they are welcoming into this land, Islam shall become their religion and their god.  

I the Lord have decreed this it will not be held back but will go forward speedily to the end I have set for this nation to humble her and bring her to her knees, she will become a broken pot but from the shards I will raise up a people who will give glory to My name and will bring Me praise in these last days before the great and terrible day of the Lord comes with blast and burning and the kingdom of My dear Son comes into its fullness. 

 Those who are faithful to Me and support My people and bring salvation to them by way of the gospel and hiding them in safe places during the dark days ahead will be greatly rewarded in My kingdom and they will be raised up to serve me in my kingdom as priests and kings.  

The church will be judged in this land but those who are Mine will not fear the second death but will be raised up in the first resurrection.  Lo I am coming swiftly and my reward is with Me for those who remain faithful to Me says the Lord of Hosts the Living God of Israel.

30 January 2018 God has affirmed this word in an amazing way.
On the radio this morning and the 6 pm news tonight TV 3 news.  There was an item about the taking away the name of Jesus from the prayer that is used to open Parliament.

Gareth Evans the leader of the Green Party was talking about this and he was saying that New Zealand is no longer just a Christian country and that it is a multicultural country. 

 That the use of the name of Jesus at the end of the prayer to open Parliament is no longer required and it would be offensive to those of other faiths.

He said that New Zealand should be like other nations especially how Scotland does their opening of Parliament that they have a different prayer from different religions over the year.  That each month is a different religion.

Other nations may just have a minute of silence.
He also said that Islam is the fastest growing religion in New Zealand.

This was a shock for me to hear this, I knew it was becoming a predominant religion but didn't know that it had grown that quickly. 

Of course with New Zealand offering to take the refugees off Manus island that Australia rightly refused to take they will end up with more Muslims and more boat people will head out to both Australia and New Zealand.  

At this point in time I don't think Australia has allowed New Zealand to take any refugees from Manus Island.
The Muslims are not silly they get into any country from the grass roots up to change the nature of that country and its religion.  They get into all areas of life, politics, education, the legal system and health.  

They do not mix with society but white ant it from within.  They can have up to four wives and will bring their wives with them plus marry foolish western girls.  Also the nation within they live will end up paying for all of their wives and many children by their tax funded Welfare systems.

They will enforce their Sharia laws on the people and they will live in ghettos of their own making with their Sharia Law courts the schools will be taken over by them and soon Islam will be the main religion being taught in them. In politics they will stand for different parties mainly Labor or the Greens or independant.  

They will use politics to change the laws of the land that they are living in.  They will use force/ violence if people don't go along with them.

Islam is not a peaceful religion it is a violent dangerous religion.  The only peace they see is when the land or people come under their rule to them that is peace.  If they have lost land that once belonged to them they will wage Jihad /war until they get it back.  They do not recognize anyone elses right to the land that they once had but their own. 


 Hence their non recognition of Israel and their right to the land of Israel that was covenanted to them by God with Abraham to give Abraham and his descendants after him the whole land of Canaan.  

The descendants being through the line of Isaac not Ishmael and it is the line of Isaac through Jacob and Judah that Jesus Christ the Son of God comes through on the human side through Mary.


Islam will force people to toe the line and if not it is off with the head literally.  Those who refuse to revert to Islam either will be killed or will be enslaved and will be treated as a third class citizen in their own lands and will have to pay a tax to live in their own land.  They will be given the worst jobs.


Churches will not be allowed to be built and they will be bombed or burned down and the people killed.  This will happen to the Jewish synagogues as well as the mosques of rival Islamic sects.

Christians and Jews will fare the worst as well as gays and anyone else they do not agree with.  It is the devil's religion.


I know for I have studied Islam when I was at Uni years ago.  I did religious studies and Islam was one religion we studied as part of that unit.

So to say we no longer need to say the name of Jesus when opening Parliament in prayer is a dangerous thing to do for it is poking the God of Israel who is the true God of heaven and earth in the eye and He will not take kindly to this mockery.  

He will take His hand of protection off New Zealand and literally all hell will break loose and judgments will come thick and fast and like in the word He gave me nearly six years ago He will turn this nation over to the false murderous god of Islam.


In the night news the Christians were standing up against this change in the opening prayer.

This is good but it won't change for what is about to take place.  For it has been set in motion the Lord's righteous judgments from heaven against not only New Zealand but other nations who have followed suit in doing away with the  name of Jesus in Parliament's opening prayers.

God showed me what He is going to do and He will do it for He has decreed it will take place.  I have shared this word with others when I first received it from the Lord and they mocked the word but God has vindicated the word He gave me because it is His word not mine and it will come to pass.  

I was only the messenger to pass it on as a warning of what is to take place shortly.

Those who will hide the Lord's Christian and Jewish people during the Great Tribulation will enter into the Lord's kingdom at the return of Jesus.

Another thing they are hypocrites for they said if one person didn't want the name of Jesus in the opening prayer then it can be changed on one person's say so.  Yet if people want to have the name of Jesus included in the prayer again then it has to be on the say so of a majority of people. 

This is hypocrisy then why can one person change the ending of the prayer and if they want it changed back again it has to be a majority.  Why can't it both a majority to change it in the first place and a majority to change it back again.  Or if one person can change it then why can't one person change it back again.  This is wrong and it is devilish.

Also the person was saying the prayer was offensive as it excludes other religions well too bad when they came to New Zealand they knew that this was mainly a Christian based country and they agreed to be living among us. 

We don't go to their lands to change how they do things they will be rightly up in arms if we did especially changing the way they pray in opening their Parliaments.  So why should we change to please them?

They said other religions will be offended of course they will be because the other religions are false and based on demon worship and the demons hate the name of Jesus and of course His name is an offense to them.
It is stench in their nostrils and it is a stench in the nostrils of those who want to change the prayer.  

What has Jesus done to this man who changed it?  Nothing but he is a sinner, he is in rebellion against God and he has an antichrist spirit.  He wants to do away with God altogether even the word God is going to go next.  Also they are saying the prayer in Maori in the opening of Parliament so what are they saying in that prayer?  To what demon are they praying to if not the true God of Israel?  

Why not say the prayer in both Maori and English so that those hearing it can say the amen?
Also they are offending the Christians and excluding them by not saying the name of Jesus in the opening prayer of Parliament.  

We will see what will take place how quickly God will let this nation be overrun by Islam for they are saying they want Parliament to be secular not religious and just like the word the Lord gave me they are turning to secularism and denying God so God will give them over to another god because they rejected Him that is He will give New Zealand (and any other nation that takes the name of of Jesus from the opening prayers in Parliament) over to  the god of Islam.  God will give New Zealand over to the false god of Islam.

I will finish here with some last words Gareth Evans also said they want to change down the track the flag, the national anthem to take the words to do with God defending New Zealand out of the anthem and to make this nation a republic as well.  

It won't be a republic for it will come under Islam then under the false messiah of the one world govt and religion and this man will be a devil for the devil will possess this man's body and will rule the earth from the rebuilt temple in Jerusalem.

No nation will be safe from this evil person, for Jesus said that this terrible time will impact upon all of those on the face of the earth who are alive at that time.
Luke 21:25-36
25 And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring;
26 Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.
27 And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.
28 And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.
29 And he spake to them a parable; Behold the fig tree, and all the trees;
30 When they now shoot forth, ye see and know of your own selves that summer is now nigh at hand.
31 So likewise ye, when ye see these things come to pass, know ye that the kingdom of God is nigh at hand.
32 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass away, till all be fulfilled.
33 Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away.
34 And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares.
35 For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth.
36 Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.

Other nations will follow suit in this too, even Australia when they passed the gay marriage law they started on wanting to change the date of when Australia Day is celebrated. 

They want to move it to another day that will make no sense at all.  For the day they celebrate Australia Day on is the day the First Fleet sailed into Botany Bay which was the 26 January 1788.  They are wanting to change the times and dates just like the beast is foretold to do this in Daniel.
Daniel 7:25
25 And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time.

They also want to do away with the Australian Flag and when the current Queen dies they want to make Australia a republic. 

The New World Order wants to destroy the sovereignty of all nations to bring them under the power of one evil person and his false prophet.  It is there in the scriptures for all to read and I have written already at great length about this in the series on the End Times my first series of blogs.

We are going to have a lunar eclipse tonight a super moon the second full moon in a month and it will be a red moon due to the eclipse.  I believe that this event is a warning from God that He is shaking all things that can be shaken

This great shaking of all things is going to increase more and more and it will intensify  The blood red moon is a sign from God a warning that war is on the horizon too.  That is war with North Korea and war in the Middle East.

 I wouldn't be surprised if we in NZ or somewhere in the Pacific Ocean or Australia will have a powerful earthquake possibly with a tsunami.  Or a great shaking will take place some place in the world, for the moon does effect the earth and we have had quakes in New Zealand when the moon has been full.

Update no we didn't have and earthquake in New Zealand, Australia or the Pacific area but a strong earthquake did occur on the 31 Jan and this was in Afghanistan.

See here the article from the watchers.

Deadly M6.1 earthquake hits Hindu Kush, Afghanistan

https://watchers.news/2018/01/31/strong-m6-1-earthquake-hits-hindu-kush-afghanistan/

It has been very still today a cyclone is bearing down on the South Island of New Zealand from New Caledonia / Vanuatu and I believe that this is just the beginning of the Lord's righteous wrath coming upon this nation.  

Update on this too, yes we are expecting the cyclone to hit any time between today and Friday.  It was supposed to bypass us in the Canterbury region but apparently it is heading towards our region.

My son emailed me this information today as he was due to come over and visit us.  He lives in another town about 15 minutes drive from us.  However due to the bad weather heading our way he has decided to wait it out and see us when the weather calms down either tomorrow or next week.

I even tried hanging out the washing on the line as at the moment the winds are very hot and coming from the north.  When I tried to hang our washing on the line it was blowing such a gale I had to take it off again and bring it in.  We had to shut our windows too due to the wind catching at them.

So we are waiting for the storm to hit I have prayed for our God to protect not only us but those we know to keep us in His care and for His angels to watch over all of us.

God has taken care of us before when we have had bad wind storms and carried us through the numerous earthquakes we have had.  So I am confident in Him that He will have His angels encamped around us and He will take care of us.

Here is the article from the Watchers on the storm heading our way.


Major storm about to slam into South Island, New Zealand

https://watchers.news/2018/01/31/ex-tropical-cyclone-fehi-south-island-new-zealand/

and here is the Watchers account today the 2 February 2018 of how the storm did impact New Zealand.  They wrote kind tides instead of king tides in the title.  No the tides were not kind but were very strong and powerful it was an angry sea.  The most damage was on the West Coast, parts of Christchurch had flooding mostly around New Brighton and Heathcote areas we were okay and Dunedin was also affected.  You can see this here.

Dunedin has had some very bad fires before the flooding of yesterday and about 100 people had to be evacuated from the fires.

Business owners review fire damage

We have had shaking and strong winds, floods, fires before but now I believe that God will ramp it up with even more and more strong earthquakes, fires, floods and volcanic eruptions will begin in earnest. 

 God will not be mocked He will pour His wrath out upon the heads of those who mock Him.  He will shake everything that can be shaken and the shaking will increase as the birth pangs of the Lord's kingdom come even more closer together.
Galatians 6:7-8
7 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.
8 For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting
Haggai 2:6
6 For thus saith the Lord of hosts; Yet once, it is a little while, and I will shake the heavens, and the earth, and the sea, and the dry land;
Hebrews 12:25-29
25 See that ye refuse not him that speaketh. For if they escaped not who refused him that spake on earth, much more shall not we escape, if we turn away from him that speaketh from heaven:
26 Whose voice then shook the earth: but now he hath promised, saying, Yet once more I shake not the earth only, but also heaven.
27 And this word, Yet once more, signifieth the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that are made, that those things which cannot be shaken may remain.
28 Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear:
29 For our God is a consuming fire.


As I wrote above, I am not concerned for I know that my God who has looked after us in the past will look after us again.  God has promised our family that He will take care of us and He will bring us safely through all the trials to His kingdom.

Though we all should have things ready for when disasters strike to be able to survive for a few days.  Things such as water, torches, batteries, storm lanterns, radios and batteries, blankets tinned food, dried food, primus stoves, things to cook in such as pots, pans and kettle,  matches, candles, warm clothes if in cold regions, cool clothes for hot ones. 

 Sensible walking shoes if one has to walk a distance, face masks for air being affected by ash from erupting volcanoes, first aid kits, medicines, hats sunburn cream. plates to eat the food off and cups to drink water from.  Toilet paper, mobile phones and chargers if you can charge them up in any place. 

Also include a whistle this will help people find you should you be trapped in a building or lost and will help the family to find each other.  It will also save your voice from shouting too.


 Make sure you pack important documents such as insurance papers, important id papers such as birth marriage certificates, passports, drivers licences that sort of thing.  Good idea to put them in waterproof bags too.

If you have pets make sure you have the things you need for their comfort and safety, food, water, can opener to open tins of food for them and yourselves.  Cat/dog carriers or leads etc.

This is not an exhaustive list but keep this in mind when getting an emergency box / bag together and if you have a tent take that too if you can.  Pay attention to warning signs such as fire, volcano or tsunami warnings and get gone as the ad on our TV says if the earthquake is long and strong don't wait to be told to leave get gone to higher ground if near the coast.
