Being Ready For The New Season
 
Every time when God is opening up a new season for His church it is important for the people of God to be ready for the move of the Holy Spirit bringing transformation in the earth realm.
This transformation is linked to the greater glory like a caterpillar being transformed into a butterfly at the right time.
 
As Jesus came as a human being into the earth realm at God's appointed time change began to happen in the house of God by the presence of the greater light (see John 1:1-5).
 
John 1:1-5:
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2 He was with God in the beginning.
3 Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made.
4 In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind.
5 The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.
 
=> In the beginning was the word. This passage of the verse goes back to eternity, when God created everything, namely what we see and also what we do not see. Everything was created by the Word.

The Word was with God. The second part of the verse goes further back to a time when nothing had been created. Even at this time the Word was with God.

The Word was God. The third part of the verse goes back even further to a time when the Word was God before the Word came out of God.

Since the Word of God is called in John 1:4 a person (“Him”), one can recognize that the Word is a person. And this person is Jesus Christ, the Son of God. He is the life and light of men (see John 8:12).
 
John 1:4:
4 In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind.
 
John 8:12:
12 When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.”
 
Jesus Christ is the Word that came from God, the Word that was with God and the Word through which everything was created, both the visible and the invisible. He is the image of the invisible God, the reflection of the Father and the glory of God. At this point we are talking about Jesus as He was before He came to earth. This person, the Word, came into the world that was created by Him and to a people to whom He gave light (life), but the people didn't recognize Him (see John 1:9-10).
 
John 1:9-10:
9 The true light that gives light to everyone was coming into the world.
10 He was in the world, and though the world was made through him, the world did not recognize him.
This Word became flesh and took the form of human flesh to live among us.
This word was born of a virgin and came as a man and lived among us (see John 1:14).
 
John 1:14:
14 The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.
 
This word revealed to us the glory of the invisible God. This word is a person and His name is Jesus Christ (see John 1:16-18).
 
John 1:16-18:
16 Out of his fullness we have all received grace in place of grace already given.

17 For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.

18 No one has ever seen God, but the one and only Son, who is himself God and is in closest relationship with the Father, has made him known. <=

(The text set in “=>” is a part excerpt from the book “The Destiny of Islam in the Endtimes” by Faisal Malick, pages 159-161)

Change And Confrontation
 
The change in Jesus' time began with the confrontation of the hearts of the people as it is still happening today. The power of the Holy Spirit is moving according to the command(ment) of God.
The Hebrew word for “commandment” is “peh” and means “mouth” which is linked to blowing and breathing. Jesus also said that the Holy Spirit is moving with the sound of His words to reveal the truth (see John 16:13-15).
 
John 16:13-15:
13 But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all the truth. He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to come.
14 He will glorify me because it is from me that he will receive what he will make known to you.
15 All that belongs to the Father is mine. That is why I said the Spirit will receive from me what he will make known to you.”
 
The Transformation And The Greater Glory
 
The transformation of God's house on earth is linked to the greater glory as the prophet Haggai prophesied (see Haggai 2:9).
 
Haggai 2:9:
9 ‘The glory of this present house will be greater than the glory of the former house,’ says the Lord Almighty. ‘And in this place I will grant peace,’ declares the Lord Almighty.”
 
This increasing glory is connected to shaking which must come to reveal that what is unshakable and to bring the blessing of God to surface (see Haggai 2:6-8 i.c.w. Hebrews 12:26-29).
 
Haggai 2:6-8:
6 “This is what the Lord Almighty says: ‘In a little while I will once more shake the heavens and the earth, the sea and the dry land.
7 I will shake all nations, and what is desired by all nations will come, and I will fill this house with glory,’ says the Lord Almighty.
8 ‘The silver is mine and the gold is mine,’ declares the Lord Almighty.
 
Hebrews 12:26-29:
26 At that time his voice shook the earth, but now he has promised, “Once more I will shake not only the earth but also the heavens.”
27 The words “once more” indicate the removing of what can be shaken—that is, created things—so that what cannot be shaken may remain.
28 Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us be thankful, and so worship God acceptably with reverence and awe, 29 for our “God is a consuming fire.”
 
The Wedding At Cana And The Time Of Job
 
There is a relation between the time of Job and the time of the wedding at Cana, which means that something good came to an end and has paved the way for something even more beautiful to come.
 
At the wedding at Cana it was the wine, which had run out and was replaced by Jesus who turned water into best sweet wine by serving (cooping and delivering).
 
In Job's time, it were his seven sons and three daughters, who understood how to celebrate (Job 1:1-2.4).
 
Job 1:1-2.4:
1 In the land of Uz there lived a man whose name was Job. This man was blameless and upright; he feared God and shunned evil.
2 He had seven sons and three daughters, …
4 His sons used to hold feasts in their homes on their birthdays, and they would invite their three sisters to eat and drink with them.
 
At this feast season of celebrating birthdays as mentioned his daughters had an important part in the celebration of the day which is equal to the threefold cord as it is written in Ecclesiastes 4:12.
 
Ecclesiastes 4:12:
12 Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken.
 
Jesus said that there is increase of His presence if we gather by two or three (see Matthew 18:20).
 
Matthew 18:20:
“ … 20 For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them.”
 
The seven sons of Job lived in a cycle of celebration that God had finished after the first feast cycle was completed (see Job 1:4.18-19).
 
Job 1:4.18-19:
4 His sons used to hold feasts in their homes on their birthdays, and they would invite their three sisters to eat and drink with them. …
18 While he was still speaking, yet another messenger came and said, “Your sons and daughters were feasting and drinking wine at the oldest brother’s house, 19 when suddenly a mighty wind swept in from the desert and struck the four corners of the house. It collapsed on them and they are dead, and I am the only one who has escaped to tell you!”
 
The Day Of Visitation
 
Based on this scripture, we can see that God finished the feast cycle of the week (seven days – seven sons) on the eighth day (in the house of the firstborn son of Job) through a mighty wind which represents the day of visitation. Then a new feast season heralded connected to a time of labor pains for Job.
 
God has revealed to Job His power and His voice through the storm of “divine questions” in this time of birth pain (letting go an old season and receiving a new season) (see Job 38:1).
 
Job 38:1:
1 Then the Lord spoke to Job out of the storm. He said: …
 
These questions were posed by God to show Job His greatness, order and that He was in control of everything.
 
The Glory Of The House Of The Last Adam
 
To summarize all of this, it means that God finished one season of His glory that was linked to the “old house” (first Adam), to pave the way for the greater glory of the new spiritual house (last Adam; see 1 Corinthians 15:44-45) which is in turn connected to the newborn seven sons and newborn three daughters of Job, who have now names that are mentioned. Job lost his seven sons and three daughters in the past but he got them back from God in the future.
 
Therefore, there is no coincidence that the book of Job does not mention the names of the newborn sons but only the three names of his newborn daughters (see Job 42:13-15).
 
Job 42:13-15:
13 And he also had seven sons and three daughters.
14 The first daughter he named Jemimah (means dove => spirit filled saints in the Bride of Christ) the second Keziah (means motherly cinnamon and is derived from a Hebrew root word that means to bow down => humility and expression of adoration) and the third Keren-Happuch (means horn of beauty – a horn for make-up => governmental beauty).
15 Nowhere in all the land were there found women as beautiful as Job’s daughters, and their father granted them an inheritance along with their brothers.
 
The greater glory in the new house directs to the season in which God allows us to enter into His fulfilled creative established plans for us and our lives. The purpose of this greater glory as a result of a challenging process of transformation is to help us enjoy His blessing in our field of authority as well as to administer by obedience like Adam was called by God (see Genesis 2:8.15).
 
Genesis 2:8.15:
8 Now the Lord God had planted a garden in the east, in Eden; and there he put the man he had formed. …
15 The Lord God took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden to work it and take care of it.
 
God is calling us to enter into the eighth day – the new season which means entering into His house of His only begotten son (Jesus – the last Adam) to receive the increase of His wind and fire for this time (see Acts 2:1-4).
 
Acts 2:1-4:
1 When the day of Pentecost came, they were all together in one place.
2 Suddenly a sound like the blowing of a violent wind came from heaven and filled the whole house where they were sitting.
3 They saw what seemed to be tongues of fire that separated and came to rest on each of them.
4 All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues (languages) as the Spirit enabled them.
 
So, we can be very confident that God has already provided what is needed in order to go through this progress of transformation and to go on with greater revelation of Himself by living by faith and not by sight (see 2 Corinthians 5:7).
 
2 Corinthians 5:7:
7 For we walk by faith, not by sight.
 
Amen and Amen.

Introduction

This following word is a word from the year 2015 and I feel in my heart that it is now the time to make this word available for the public.
In summer I asked the Lord for revelation knowledge for this time before I went across the nearby fields. It was a sunny day and when I reached the fields, my attention was drawn to various grass fields which had been cut by the farmer; he had left the grass on these fields to get dried by the sun for use as straw later on.
 
The Prophesying Straw
 
While looking at it, the straw began prophesying to me, just like the almond tree branch which God used to speak to the prophet Jeremiah (see Jeremiah 1:11-12).
 
Jeremiah 1:11-12:
11 The word of the Lord came to me: “What do you see, Jeremiah?” “I see the branch of an almond tree,” I replied.
12 The Lord said to me, “You have seen correctly, for I am watching to see that my word is fulfilled.”
 
I could hear the straw singing like a choir of female voices. The song it sang sounded something like this,”We are the produce to prepare the place for the coming glory of God!”
As I heard this I was reminded of the birth of Jesus in Bethlehem who as a newborn was put into a manger which in my opinion was padded with straw (see Luke 2:12).
 
Luke 2:12:
12 This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.”
 
God's Breath blows over Influential Figures!
 
In connection to the straw, the Lord informed me that He will come with His breath on influential people in the world who do not know Him, so that they will bow before Him as King Nebuchadnezzar did in the time of Daniel (see Daniel 3:25.28-29).
 
Daniel 3:25.28-29:
25 He said, “Look! I see four men walking around in the fire, unbound and unharmed, and the fourth looks like a son of the gods.” …
28 Then Nebuchadnezzar said, “Praise be to the God of Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, who has sent his angel and rescued his servants! They trusted in him and defied the king’s command and were willing to give up their lives rather than serve or worship any god except their own God.
29 Therefore I decree that the people of any nation or language who say anything against the God of Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego be cut into pieces and their houses be turned into piles of rubble, for no other god can save in this way.”
 
This type of unusual harvest will result in a transfer of the treasures of peoples into the house of God, so that the glory of God for this time can come down and His peace may expand (see Haggai 2:7-9).
 
Haggai 2:7-9:
7 I will shake all nations, and what is desired by all nations will come, and I will fill this house with glory,’ says the Lord Almighty.
8 ‘The silver is mine and the gold is mine,’ declares the Lord Almighty.
9 ‘The glory of this present house will be greater than the glory of the former house,’ says the Lord Almighty. ‘And in this place I will grant peace,’ declares the Lord Almighty.”
 
The Spiritual Battle for the Unusual Harvest
 
In connection to the harvest among the influential figures, the Holy Spirit made me aware of the spiritual battle, we as the people of God are in. This battle is similar to that of Joshua where he and the people of Israel fought against the Amorites.
It was the battle where sun and moon obeyed Joshua's word and stood still, thus helping to bring victory over the Amorites (see Joshua 10:12-13).
 
Joshua 10:12-13:
12 On the day the Lord gave the Amorites over to Israel, Joshua said to the Lord in the presence of Israel: “Sun, stand still over Gibeon, and you, moon, over the Valley of Aijalon.”
13 So the sun stood still, and the moon stopped, till the nation avenged itself on its enemies, as it is written in the Book of Jashar. The sun stopped in the middle of the sky and delayed going down about a full day.
 
The Book of “Jaschar“ and the Phase of Harvest
 
This battle is described in the book of “Jashar” which means something like “complete, sincere, upright, honest”.
The above mentioned book points towards a phase of harvest, for the harvest is linked to completeness and concludes the cycle of sowing and growth, as well as revealing its result.
The harvest of Joshua and the people of Israel was connected to their victory over the Amorites who are also called “the ones living on the mountains”.
For us today, this means a harvest of influential people because the mountains or heights are connected to influential positions in the word of God.
It was therefore no coincidence that the sun (note: which has a greater standing in the sky than the moon) shone on “Gibeon” (which means “city on a hill”), and the moon shone on the “valley of the deer meadow” which is the meaning of the word “Aijalon”.
As God appointed the sun to govern the day and the moon to govern the night as well as the stars to be signs in the sky (see Genesis 1:14-19), we can gain an important message of God for us in this time from this particular situation in the battle at the time of Joshua.
 
Genesis 1:14-19:
14 And God said, “Let there be lights in the vault of the sky to separate the day from the night, and let them serve as signs to mark sacred times, and days and years, 15 and let them be lights in the vault of the sky to give light on the earth.” And it was so.
16 God made two great lights—the greater light to govern the day and the lesser light to govern the night. He also made the stars.
17 God set them in the vault of the sky to give light on the earth, 18 to govern the day and the night, and to separate light from darkness. And God saw that it was good.
19 And there was evening, and there was morning—the fourth day.
 
Sun, Moon and Stars
 
The cycle of the sun marks the timespan of a single day, whereas the cycle of the moon marks the timespan of a month; the yearly sequence of the star constellations in the sky mark the seasons in the year (note: spring, summer, fall, winter).
This means that the position of the sun marks the exact hour in the day and the cycle of the moon shows the phase of the month.
If we use this revelation in regard to the regions of Gibeon and Aijalon we can distinctly see that the sun in its greater position shone onto the higher place on earth (note: Gibeon), contrary to the moon which shone onto the lower place (note: the valley of Aijalon).
 
Three Levels of Revelation
 
By these constellations of the sun and the moon the Holy Spirit revealed to me three levels of revelation, whereas the third level involves the spiritual battle I mentioned in the beginning.
  1. the level of the spirit (note: Gibeon) and the soul (note: the valley of Ajalon)
  2. the level of the bridal structure (note: the love- and covenant-relationship with our bridegroom Jesus), and the structure of the body of Christ on earth (note: governmental authority in the earth)
  3. the spiritual battle of the body of Christ with the heart of the bride against the “Amorites”
As God's people we are required to walk in the first and the second level first before we are able to fight this spiritual battle which I will explain more detailed on the basis of the third level in a moment.
It is important that our soul (note: will, emotions and mind) is in tune with our spirit and submits to it, in order to be able to show the will of the Heavenly Father as revealed by the Holy Spirit by our deeds here on earth.
The valley of Aijalon carries revelation about our personal position as children of God but also about the position of the church as the unified body of Christ in the earth.
 
The Hour Appointed by God
 
The position of the sun and the moon in Joshua 10:12-13 reveals to us that God has set a certain hour in His eternity which bears the visitation of His glory in the earth realm. This means a continuous time of His special presence on earth as the sun is linked to the day and the moon carries in itself the alliance of days and weeks.
This bears comparison to the statement from 2 Peter 3:8, where it says:
 
“But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day. “
 
The Hour of the Glory of God
 
The hour of glory is birthed from our close love relationship to Jesus Christ as our bridegroom and God as our Heavenly Father in the Holy Spirit. This results in a deep longing for more of God and a solid confidence for restoration in the heart of every saint (see Psalm 42:1-2 i.c.w. Isaiah 42:8).
 
Psalm 42:1-2:
1 As the deer pants for streams of water, so my soul pants for you, my God.
2 My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. When can I go and meet with God?
 
Isaiah 42:3:
3 A bruised reed he will not break, and a smouldering wick he will not snuff out. In faithfulness he will bring forth justice; …
 
The Valley of Aijalon - the Deer Meadow
 
The reason for the desire, to be restored and having confidence for restoration are hidden in the connection between the valley of Aijalon and the deer.
The deer/fallow deer is connected to the longing of the soul for more of God, and the Hebrew root word for “deer”, i.e. “fallow deer” is the word „ḥāmaḏ“ which means “desire, craving, to take a shine to, to be red by ignition => (for its fur shimmers red)”. (excerpt from Strong's Concordance with the word number H2560)
If we move in this kind of love desire of the LORD, we as the people of God will be able to fight the spiritual battle which is not against flesh and blood victoriously, like Joshua did. This means, our prayers are fearless and powerful, and they help bring the influential people (note: “Amorites” => “the ones living on the mountains”) who currently still move in darkness, into contact with the breath of God to prepare the way for the glory of Jesus in this time, just like "the straw in the manger" was welcoming Jesus at the time of His birth.
 
The Third Level of Revelation
 
The third level contains the battle fought in prayer by the love to our Heavenly Father and His son Jesus Christ, so that giants like Goliath in the time of David, will fall and submit to the one true God of Israel.
 
The Nephilim - Giants
 
Furthermore, the Holy Spirit showed me that this battle is against the „Nephilim“ (note: It is the Hebrew word for “giant, titan, hero, magnate”.), as they are mentioned in Genesis 6:4 i.c.w. Luke 17:26.
 
Genesis 6:4:
4 The Nephilim were on the earth in those days - and also after ward - when the sons of God went to the daughters of humans and had children by them. They were the heroes of old, men of renown.
 
Luke 17:26:
26 “Just as it was in the days of Noah, so also will it be in the days of the Son of Man. …
 
These so-called giants are not literally tall people or the offspring from an amalgamation of demons with humans but are an agenda of darkness, carrying one loud voice (note: as for instance, the public promotion of homosexuality in the society). This agenda aims to destroy righteousness and purity of God on the earth and blaspheme the God of Israel as well as intimidate the saints.
Thus, the “giants” are nothing more than implemented plans/thoughts from the demonic world (note: fallen angels) which the influential figures (note: symbolic for the daughters of men - applies to men and women alike – as the woman conceives the fruit and carries it to term) have succumbed to in order to establish these plans in the visible.
They try to achieve this with the help of the media, exerting more and more unrighteous influence over mankind.
 
The Power of True Intercession
 
But thanks to the Lord who clearly shows us by the example of David fighting against the giant Goliath that there will be an unusual harvest among these influential figures. This will be established by the power of true intercession, comparable to a slinging or hurling which will result in the shaking in heaven and on earth through the glory of God (see Haggai 2:6-9 i.c.w. 1 Samuel 17:49-51; Revelation 8:3-5).
 
Haggai 2:6-9:
6 “This is what the Lord Almighty says: ‘In a little while I will once more shake the heavens and the earth, the sea and the dry land.
7 I will shake all nations, and what is desired by all nations will come, and I will fill this house with glory,’ says the Lord Almighty.
8 ‘The silver is mine and the gold is mine,’ declares the Lord Almighty.
9 ‘The glory of this present house will be greater than the glory of the former house,’ says the Lord Almighty. ‘And in this place I will grant peace,’ declares the Lord Almighty.”
 
1 Samuel 17:49-51:
49 Reaching into his bag and taking out a stone, he slung it and struck the Philistine on the forehead. The stone sank into his forehead, and he fell facedown on the ground.
50 So David triumphed over the Philistine with a sling and a stone; without a sword in his hand he struck down the Philistine and killed him.
51 David ran and stood over him. He took hold of the Philistine’s sword and drew it from the sheath. After he killed him, he cut off his head with the sword. When the Philistines saw that their hero was dead, they turned and ran.
 
Revelation 8:3-5:
3 Another angel, who had a golden censer, came and stood at the altar. He was given much incense to offer, with the prayers of all God’s people, on the golden altar in front of the throne.
4 The smoke of the incense, together with the prayers of God’s people, went up before God from the angel’s hand.
5 Then the angel took the censer, filled it with fire from the altar, and hurled it on the earth; and there came peals of thunder, rumblings, flashes of lightning and an earthquake.
 
This slinging or hurling of the prayers of the saints is conducted by an angel, and in the word of God, angels are winds (see Psalm 104:4 i.c.w. Hebrews 1:7). It means, God blows with His breath on influential people so they recognise the truth and drop their plans for the truth which were infiltrated by darkness, resulting in the annulment of unrighteous systems and in riches of the heathens now coming into the House of God.
That is to say, the Church of Christ will for a time have big influence over the earth because Satan has to desist, similar to the time where Jesus was fasting in the desert (see Luke 4:13).
 
Luke 4:13:
13 When the devil had finished all this tempting, he left him until an opportune time.
 
The desisting of the enemy results in the spreading of the word of God on the earth in a greater measure (see Luke 4:14-15).
 
Luke 4:14-15:
14 Jesus returned to Galilee in the power of the Spirit, and news about him spread through the whole countryside.
15 He was teaching in their synagogues, and everyone praised him.
 
Amen und Amen.
 
In His Wisdom,

PROPHETIC CHAMBER
The Turning Letters
 
Lately the Lord spoke to me that letters within a word will begin to turn to shape a new word. While I read the story about the parable of the two prodigal sons in Luke 15:11-32 the Holy Spirit emphasized the verse 20 in the German version where it is written, that the young son got up and went to his father. As the father saw his son he went to him and fell on his neck and kissed him.
The used German word for “went” is “lief” and for “fell” is “fiel”.
 
Luke 15:20:
20 So he got up and went to his father. “But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and was filled with compassion for him; he ran to his son, threw his arms around him and kissed him.
 
Look And Embrace!
 
The spirit of prophecy revealed by this above mentioned verse that an approaching process has come to an end and a new begins.
It is the time to stop “walking” and to come into the place to look and embrace the things that God brings into our arms.
It is about to catch God's presence and entering into the catching up process within God's time cycle (make up time)!
In a prophetic context it means for us today, that the younger time (younger prodigal son) enters into the older time (older prodigal son) to bring renewing, refreshing and joy into the house of God.
 
The Movement Of The Younger Time
 
The parable of the prodigal sons shows us that the younger time got into movement as an adverse circumstance began to prophesy to it.
It were the pods of the pigs that prophesied to the younger prodigal son so that he began to remember the good times in the house of his father (see Luke 15:15-18).
 
Luke 15:15-18:
15 So he went and hired himself out to a citizen of that country, who sent him to his fields to feed pigs.
16 He longed to fill his stomach with the pods that the pigs were eating, but no one gave him anything.
17 “When he came to his senses, he said, ‘How many of my father’s hired servants have food to spare, and here I am starving to death!
18 I will set out and go back to my father and say to him: Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you.
 
The Inner Emptiness Of The Younger Prodigal Son
 
It was an inner emptiness in the younger son which drove him to squander his given inheritance of his father to thereby produce a short-term peace in his soul which, however, did not last long. Furthermore one of the reasons why the younger son left the house of his father may have been that his older brother enslaved him day by day with the message "to become righteous only by works" (note: You have to do this ... You have to do that ...) in front of the eyes of the father.
 
The younger brother was not in true love relationship with his father, because he didn't really understand the mercy of his father, which becomes clear by his statement where he said, that he was not worthy to be called son anymore and wanted to be in the position of the hired servants of his father (see Luke 15:19).
 
Luke 15:19:
19 I am no longer worthy to be called your son; make me like one of your hired servants.’
 
The Lack In The Young And Old Time
 
Spoken in a prophetic context, the circumstance of the younger prodigal son shows us that there was lack within the young time which had to be filled with the value (feast) of the Heavenly Fathers eternal time.
Similarly, there was lack in the old time because the older prodigal son who was near to the Father's house couldn't as well understand rightly the Father's love.
He was unaware of his paternal inheritance and didn't recognize the potential of the available blessings while he lived all the years in the house of his Father.
This becomes clear by his angry reaction as his younger brother returned home to the Father's house (see Luke 15:25-32).
 
Luke 15:25-32:
25 “Meanwhile, the older son was in the field. When he came near the house, he heard music and dancing.
26 So he called one of the servants and asked him what was going on.
27 ‘Your brother has come,’ he replied, ‘and your father has killed the fattened calf because he has him back safe and sound.’
28 “The older brother became angry and refused to go in. So his father went out and pleaded with him.
29 But he answered his father, ‘Look! All these years I’ve been slaving for you and never disobeyed your orders. Yet you never gave me even a young goat so I could celebrate with my friends.
30 But when this son of yours who has squandered your property with prostitutes comes home, you kill the fattened calf for him!’
31 “ ‘My son,’ the father said, ‘you are always with me, and everything I have is yours.
32 But we had to celebrate and be glad, because this brother of yours was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.’ ”
 
To speak in a prophetic context it means that religious legality blocked the older time to be renewed refreshed and strengthened by the appointed time – feast in God's eternal time cycle.
 
The Importance Of The Real Relationship With God
 
It is important for us as people of God to live in a continual love relationship with the Heavenly Father which is expressed by obedience towards His word (see John 14:21).
 
John 14:21:
21 Whoever has my (Jesus Christ) commands and keeps them is the one who loves me. The one who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I too will love them and show myself to them.”
 
Bethel – The House Of God
 
The Hebrew word for “house of God” is “bêt-'ēl”.
Bethel is connected to the place of the supernatural visitation of God where God blessed Jacob and gave him a dream where he saw a ladder standing between earth and heaven and where angels of God were ascending and descending. Jacob renamed this place after the divine visitation from Luz (almond tree) to Bethel (house of God). (see Genesis 28:10-12.16-19).
 
Genesis 28:10-12.16-19:
10 Jacob left Beersheba and set out for Harran.
11 When he reached a certain place, he stopped for the night because the sun had set. Taking one of the stones there, he put it under his head and lay down to sleep.
12 He had a dream in which he saw a stairway resting on the earth, with its top reaching to heaven, and the angels of God were ascending and descending on it. …
16 When Jacob awoke from his sleep, he thought, “Surely the Lord is in this place, and I was not aware of it.”
17 He was afraid and said, “How awesome is this place! This is none other than the house of God; this is the gate of heaven.”
18 Early the next morning Jacob took the stone he had placed under his head and set it up as a pillar and poured oil on top of it.
19 He called that place Bethel, though the city used to be called Luz.
 
God desires to show us His presence, plans and blessings if we are living in His house.
Essentially it doesn't matter where we are in our environment but being first spiritually living in the house of God.
If we live in the house of the Heavenly Father, we move with God's living breath as Adam did. We carry His living breath which includes His Holy Spirit, His longing, His life and His being (see Genesis 2:7 i.c.w. 1 Corinthians 15:45-49).
 
Genesis 2:7:
7 Then the Lord God formed a man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being.
 
1 Corinthians 15:45-49:
45 So it is written: “The first man Adam became a living being”; the last Adam, a life-giving spirit.
46 The spiritual did not come first, but the natural, and after that the spiritual.
47 The first man was of the dust of the earth; the second man is of heaven.
48 As was the earthly man, so are those who are of the earth; and as is the heavenly man, so also are those who are of heaven.
49 And just as we have borne the image of the earthly man, so shall we bear the image of the heavenly man.
 
God therefore put into us His desire and His life.
It is the desire of God to have living relationship with us and that we maintain this relationship of life with Him.
 
The Sign Of The High Priest Joshua
 
In link with the life circumstance of the younger prodigal son from the parable mentioned in Luke 15 exists a similar situation in the Old Testament which is written in the scroll of the prophet Zechariah (see Zechariah 3:1-10).
 
Zechariah 3:1-10:
1 Then he showed me Joshua the high priest standing before the angel of the Lord, and Satan (adversary/resistance) standing at his right side to accuse him.
2 The Lord said to Satan, “The Lord rebuke you, Satan! The Lord, who has chosen Jerusalem, rebuke you! Is not this man a burning stick snatched from the fire?”
3 Now Joshua was dressed in filthy clothes as he stood before the angel.
4 The angel said to those who were standing before him, “Take off his filthy clothes.” Then he said to Joshua, “See, I have taken away your sin, and I will put fine garments on you.”
5 Then I said, “Put a clean turban on his head.” So they put a clean turban on his head and clothed him, while the angel of the Lord stood by.
6 The angel of the Lord gave this charge to Joshua: 7 “This is what the Lord Almighty says: ‘If you will walk in obedience to me and keep my requirements, then you will govern my house and have charge of my courts, and I will give you a place among these standing here.
8 “ ‘Listen, High Priest Joshua, you and your associates seated before you, who are men symbolic of things to come: I am going to bring my servant, the Branch.
9 See, the stone I have set in front of Joshua! There are seven eyes on that one stone, and I will engrave an inscription on it,’ says the Lord Almighty, ‘and I will remove the sin of this land in a single day.
10 “ ‘In that day each of you will invite your neighbor to sit under your vine and fig tree,’ declares the Lord Almighty.”
 
The prophet Zechariah had a vision where he saw the high priest with the name Joshua (“JAHWE is help!”) standing before the angel of the Lord while the presence of resistance was present by accusing Joshua.
 
The high priest was dressed in filthy clothes while he stood before the angel.
At this point resistance tried to link in with the present circumstance of the high priest Joshua that was represented by the filthy clothes.
The identity of Joshua was to show the help/support of God to the assigned people.
 
The devil tried to stop Joshua by intermingle accusation with his made sin of the past.
It was Joshua who decided to come into the presence of God to get a renewed mindset by the cleansing of the accusative thoughts of the one who resists God.
 
Because Joshua came into God's presence, the accuser got rebuked by the angel of the Lord.
It was the power of the chosen/promised territory (Jerusalem – foundation of peace) by God for him which released the righteous rebuke against the accuser.
 
Joshua got cleansed by the forgiving power of God and received fine garments and a new turban by the Lord.
The Hebrew word for “turban” is “ẓānîṗ” and is derived from the root word “ẓānaṗ” which means “winding, to tie something around”.
Spiritually it implies that our minds (heads) must make a turn toward the direction of the thoughts of the Lord and His truth (see Isaiah 55:8-9 i.c.w. Romans 12:2; Ephesians 4:23-24).
 
Isaiah 55:8-9:
8 “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,” declares the Lord.
9 “As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.
 
Romans 12:2:
2 Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is – his good, pleasing and perfect will.
 
Ephesians 4:23-24:
… 23 to be made new in the attitude of your minds; 24 and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness.
 
After the renewing process by the Lord the high priest Joshua was called by God to walk from this point on in obedience to Him and to keep His requirements.
 
The result of it would be that Joshua would govern the house of God and administer His courts as well to stand in the place of the saints who are standing before His throne. Through this divine intervention Joshua and his seated associates became a sign and a wonder (Hebrew “môṗēt”) to direct to the offspring power of Jesus Christ.
 
It is about the young branch that grows out of the strong old branch and directs to the precious stone that is linked to the remission of sin of the land/nation in a single day.
This day is a new season of divine relationship of saints under the shadow of Israel through the biblical/Hebrew mindset (see John 1:47-48).
 
John 1:47-51:
47 When Jesus saw Nathanael approaching, he said of him, “Here truly is an Israelite in whom there is no deceit.”
48 “How do you know me?” Nathanael asked. Jesus answered, “I saw you while you were still under the fig tree before Philip called you.”
49 Then Nathanael declared, “Rabbi, you are the Son of God; you are the king of Israel.”
50 Jesus said, “You believe because I told you I saw you under the fig tree. You will see greater things than that.”
51 He then added, “Very truly I tell you, you will see ‘heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending on’ the Son of Man.”
 
The scripture of Zechariah 3:1-10 reveals that single things pave the way for great impact!
 
Amen and Amen.
 
In His Wisdom,
 
Daniel Glimm
