As we as the people of God are approaching the end of a biblical year linked to the biblical month of “Elul” in the cycle of blessing of the Lord, I would like to take up the meaning of this period in a prophetic context to help us to position ourselves correctly for the coming biblical year.

When a time cycle in God's calendar comes to an end, there is a door in midst of the LORD's upward spiral of time. Every time a time cycle draws to a close in God's calendar – this door announces the new time cycle and can be likened to an exit/entrance, which is open and is about to be closed.

In this case it is an exit, which closes down the old time cycle, but at the same time it is an entrance into a new field of God's time.

 

 

Jesus Christ is the Alpha and Omega, and as such He is the time span of our lives in the temporary, covering this time. He is also the door through which we enter into a new, providing, temporary time in midst of the cycle of eternity. Therefore, the end of a biblical year as well as the beginning of a biblical year have a special meaning (see Revelation 22:13; Deuteronomy 30:20 i.c.w. John 10:9).

 

13 I (note: Jesus Christ) am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End.

 

...20 and that you may love the LORD your God, listen to his voice, and hold fast to him. For the LORD is your life (note: expansion of your life; Alpha and Omega), and he will give you many years in the land he swore to give to your fathers, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.

 

9 I (note: Jesus Christ) am the gate; whoever enters through me will be saved. They will come in and go out, and find pasture.

 

 

Such windows in time always end with God's love and care, according to His measure – this becomes clear in the name of the month, „Elul“, which carries the first Hebrew letters of the first part of the verses from Song of Songs 6:3. They are connected to the deep love relationship with Jesus Christ, our king and bridegroom.

 

3a I am my beloveds and my beloved is mine; …

 

When we as God's people finish a year in God's calendar and enter into a new time in Christ Jesus, it is wise to take stock in ones personal life. This includes “reminiscing” about the year and thus bringing it to a close. As a result we should align ourselves accordingly for the new year.

This alignment should take place in the deep certainty, that we belong to Jesus Christ and He belongs to us.

 

 

The scripture from Song of Songs 6:3a is closely connected to the highest and greatest commandment of God. As God's people it calls us to begin the biblical year in the strength of the highest and greatest commandment of the LORD and continue to walk in it.

As a result our interpersonal relationships are formed properly and the godly order can be established, where necessary (see Matthew 22:36-40).

 

36 “Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?”

37 Jesus replied: “ ‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ (see Deuteronomy 6:5).

38 This is the first and greatest commandment.

39 And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbour as yourself.’ (see Leviticus 19:18).

40 All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.”

 

By establishing the order of God in our relationships revelatory light is released, which results in receiving direction (see Psalm 119:105).

 

105 Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path.

 

 

Every time a time phase set by God is drawing to a close on the earth, a special presence of Jesus Christ, King of Kings, appears. This presence is connected with His breath, designed to fill us with confidence for the future. Furthermore, we are to receive the intensification or increase of His kingdom rule.

As a result our spirit is in the hand of the Heavenly Father, who continues to form us throughout the cycle of the new year as sons of God in the centre of His will, so that we may do the things, the Heavenly Father assigns us to do (see Luke 23:46; Genesis 2:7 i.c.w. John 20:22).

 

46 Jesus called out with a loud voice, “Father, into your hands I commit my spirit.” When he had said this, he breathed his last.

 

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.

 

22 And with that he (note: Jesus Christ) breathed on them and said, “Receive the Holy Spirit.”

 

 

The presence of Jesus Christ as King of Kings includes the presence of special grace, which releases the Father's love: He sends them through the “gate of the city” into the “field”, so that the people are able to see the love of the King of Kings and may touch Him (see John 3:16 i.c.w. John 19:19-20; Revelation 17:14; Revelation 19:16).

 

16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

 

19 Pilate had a notice prepared and fastened to the cross. It read: Jesus of Nazareth, the king of the Jews.

20 Many of the Jews read this sign, for the place where Jesus was crucified was near (note: outside of) the city, and the sign was written in Aramaic, Latin and Greek.

 

14 They will wage war against the Lamb (note: that was as slain), but the Lamb will triumph over them because he is Lord of lords and King of kings—and with him will be his called, chosen and faithful followers.”

 

… 16 On his robe and on his thigh he has this name written: king of kings and lord of lords.

 

 

It is important for Jesus Christ, King of Kings to meet the needs of the simple people or people, who do not know Him. Nowadays He achieves this through His royal body on the earth, which consists of many people who love Him, serve Him without compromise and follow Him (see 1.Corinthians 12:12-14 i.c.w. Revelation 1:5-6).

 

12 Just as a body, though one, has many parts, but all its many parts form one body, so it is with Christ.

13 For we were all baptised by one Spirit so as to form one body—whether Jews or Gentiles, slave or free – and we were all given the one Spirit to drink.

14 Even so the body is not made up of one part but of many.

 

… 5 and from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, the first-born from the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth. To him who loves us and has freed us from our sins by his blood, 6 and has made us to be a kingdom and priests to serve his God and Father – to him be glory and power for ever and ever! Amen.

 

 

The time window of special grace does not contain observing or following the usual protocol within the kingdom, where one can only come boldly before the throne of grace, justified by the blood of the lamb (see Hebrews 4:16); rather, it is the presence of the king, which moves nowadays through His people in the temporal zone in the earth, giving mankind an understanding of the king and His love through the message of the cross – similar to the way Melchizedek revealed himself to Abraham (see Genesis 14:18 i.c.w. John 6:51.53-57).

 

18 Then Melchizedek king of Salem brought out bread and wine. He was priest of God Most High, …

 

51 I am the living bread that came down from heaven. Whoever eats this bread will live forever. This bread is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.”…

53 Jesus said to them, “Very truly I tell you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you.

54 Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise them up at the last day.

55 For my flesh is real food and my blood is real drink.

56 Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me, and I in them.

57 Just as the living Father sent me and I live because of the Father, so the one who feeds on me will live because of me.

 

Ultimately, it is down to the person to hear the message of the king and to accept His love in order to come boldly before the throne of grace, justified by the blood of the king, i.e. the lamb of God (see Hebrews 4:16).

 

16 Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.

 

Amen and Amen.

 

In His Wisdom,

 

Daniel Glimm

One of the saints in our ministry received a dream that we kept up for the right season to share and of which we feel urged to publish this dream now. This dream is associated with the Biblical month (note: Tischri/Ethanim) according to the beginning of the new Biblical year that is about to start (note: 5779).

 

The Dream

In the dream, the dreamer was on a beach in a not necessarily real or natural environment to which she was led. She was out with her husband and both were undercover agents in this manner.
It was evening or night as they were shown around by a man (note: with influence) with his assistant who was explaining and presenting his work to them. That man was a handsome middle-aged, smart-looking person looking like a popular Hollywood director being dressed in an expensive smart suit. This man loftily presented as a director both a concept of evil (note: manipulation at the highest level, he did not know that the dreamer and her husband were believers in Christ, as they had been working undercover).

During this presentation they were standing on a secluded beach, whereby the director was hovering above the ground and presenting as if presenting a series of products enthusiastically the constellations of the twelve signs of the zodiac in the sky before their very eyes at the beach.

Here he was moving himself directly into the sparkling night sky as if on a screen and said to both at the peak of his speech: “So we influence the whole of humanity by using the star constellations.” And as he was saying this, the twelve constellations in the sky were flashing brightly in violet and purple color by the power he had.

In addition, the director was explaining that people are best influenced in terms of relationships in the month of the “usable energy” of the constellation of “Libra” and said enthusiastically twice: “This is the key; in which balance is in this month and in this zodiac sign! We use this balance in the zodiac sign of the Libra, which we make use of, to influence all people and to influence the relationships of all people. For only in this month of the Libra is there a ladder leading to heaven.”

Then he was pointing to the ladder he had mentioned in the constellation of the Libra, while the dreamer was thinking how this would be indicating Jacob's experience with the ladder and that the one he showed was a secret powerful strategy revealed to her. As a result, the dreamer continued to think to herself that she needed to research at home what the month of Libra means in the Biblical/Hebrew year and its context in order to understand what that director would do with his assistant. It was exciting to them to be so close to a person with an agenda at the highest level of mass manipulation.
Then the dream ended.

 

Interpretation:

The Insight into the Control Center of Darkness

This dream may indicate that the Holy Spirit wants to grant us strategic insight into the enemy's control center, which is related to the annual cycle of God's blessing (note: Rosh ha-Shana). The star constellation of the Libra relates to the biblical month of Tischri/Ethanim opening the new biblical year cycle of blessing (see 2 Kings 6:8-12 i.c.w. Ezekiel 8:7-16).
It is also the month associated with the tribe of Joseph (note: Ephraim/Manasse), whereby it should be noted that Joseph was a man of business.

The Star Constellation of the Libra

The Libra is an indication that it is, among other things, the time frame in which the deeds of men are weighed and judgment is released (see Isaiah 1:18-20 i.c.w. Isaiah 26:9; Daniel 5:25-29).

Isaiah 1:18-20:
18 “Come now, let us settle the matter,” says the Lord. “Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red as crimson, they shall be like wool.

19 If you are willing and obedient, you will eat the good things of the land;

20 but if you resist and rebel, you will be devoured by the sword.” For the mouth of the Lord has spoken.

Isaiah 26:9:
9 My soul yearns for you in the night; in the morning my spirit longs for you. When your judgments come upon the earth, the people of the world learn righteousness.

Daniel 5:25-29:
25 “This is the inscription that was written: mene, mene, tekel, parsin

26 “Here is what these words mean: Mene: God has numbered the days of your reign and brought it to an end.

27 Tekel: You have been weighed on the scales and found wanting.

28 Peres: Your kingdom is divided and given to the Medes and Persians.”

29 Then at Belshazzar’s command, Daniel was clothed in purple, a gold chain was placed around his neck, and he was proclaimed the third highest ruler in the kingdom.

The Hollywood Director and the Assistant

The Hollywood director and his assistant can represent the enemy and his false prophetic voice, who works with a high degree of manipulation, pride, arrogance, licentiousness, exaggeration, pomp and deceitfulness (note: symbolism of the color purple when it is in a negative context) to disrupt interpersonal relationships.

The Shore

The reason why the dream happened on a shore side is because => a shore or a coast symbolizes a border or opening for the entry of recurring and foreign units (note: demonic spirits included) into an area (see Revelation 12:18). All coastal areas were and are trading centers.

Since many journeys have been made by ship and large imports and exports have relied on them, the coasts are known for business, trade, idolatry and fornication. At this point one can see why the end-time refers to the harlot and trade in common connection.

The sailors, who were at sea for long periods of time, were themselves eager to “refresh” themselves with various things, so that prostitution flourished in the port areas and this approach served as a ritual, because the prostitutes brought much profit to their temples and idols through the money they earned through their activities.
The queen of heaven, princess of the kingdoms and the Babylonian harlots were all privileged meanings for the brood of the coastal stew through the trade of international commerce as well as the pagan and idolatrous customers behind the trade itself.
In Isaiah 47:5-7, Chaldea is another term for Babylon, which is titled with the queen of the Kingdoms (see Revelation 18:1-24). <= (partial excerpt from the “Prophet`s Dictionary” by Paula A. Price, Ph. D.; page 130)

 

 

The aim of the dark prince who rules in the air (see Ephesians 2:2) is to manipulate the economy of the earth by combining wealth with injustice to transfer it into his dark kingdom with the purpose of hindering/blocking the message of the gospel (note: Jesus triumph on the cross and resurrection; see Matthew 28:11-15).

 

11 While the women were on their way, some of the guards went into the city and reported to the chief priests everything that had happened.

12 When the chief priests had met with the elders and devised a plan, they gave the soldiers a large sum of money, 13 telling them, “You are to say, ‘His disciples came during the night and stole him away while we were asleep.’

14 If this report gets to the governor, we will satisfy him and keep you out of trouble.”

15 So the soldiers took the money and did as they were instructed. And this story has been widely circulated among the Jews to this very day.

 

The adversary does this in a way that he manipulates people so that they waste their finances on vain or destructive things, by pursuing or being seduced by the lust of their flesh.

 

 

In order to understand the relation to the constellation from the right perspective as described in the dream, it is important that we have a biblical view of the constellations of the stars and recognize them in the way God has created them and positioned them in their courses.

 

The sun, moon and stars were created by God according to the Word of God and placed in their proper place to bring his inheritance and glory to light (see Genesis 1:14-19; Genesis 15:5 i.c.w. Judges 5:20; Psalm 8:1.3.9; Psalm 19:1; Job 9:8-9; Job 38:31-33; Amos 5:8).

 

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.

 

5 He (note: God) took him (note: Abram) outside and said, “Look up at the sky and count the stars – if indeed you can count them.” Then he said to him, “So shall your offspring be.”

 

20 From the heavens the stars fought, from their courses they fought against Sisera.

 

1 Lord, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth! You have set your glory in the heavens. …

3 When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place, …

9 Lord, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth!

 

1 The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands.

 

8 He alone stretches out the heavens and treads on the waves of the sea.

9 He is the Maker of the Bear and Orion, the Pleiades and the constellations of the south.

 

31 Can you bind the chains of the Pleiades? Can you loosen Orion’s belt?

32 Can you bring forth the constellations in their seasons or lead out the Bear with its cubs?

33 Do you know the laws of the heavens? Can you set up God’s dominion over the earth?

 

8 He who made the Pleiades and Orion, who turns midnight into dawn and darkens day into night, who calls for the waters of the sea and pours them out over the face of the land – the Lord is his name.

 

Taking a closer look at these scriptures, we can clearly see that the constellation of the stars has nothing to do with unenlightened astrology, but rather as lights in the sky they were made with purpose as a part of God's creation.

 

 

The star constellation of the Libra is located directly next to the Scorpion, whose claws try to grasp the Libra. This means that this is about the conflict or battle where human beings will spend eternity.

 

And this battle takes place between the scorpion (note: the accuser of the brethren; see Revelation 12:10-11) and the Lamb, which represents the confrontation between the kingdom of Satan and the kingdom of God.

 

10 Then I heard a loud voice in heaven say: “Now have come the salvation and the power and the kingdom of our God, and the authority of his Messiah. For the accuser of our brothers and sisters, who accuses them before our God day and night, has been hurled down.

11 They triumphed over him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony; they did not love their lives so much as to shrink from death.

 

 

=> The scorpion is a “stinger” and a subordinate representative of the serpent under the dragon (see Luke 10:19).

He induces his victims to sin and finally repels them. <= (partial excerpt from Paula A. Price's “Prophet's Dictionary”, Ph. D.; page 488)

 

 

The decans (note: each of the twelve constellations has three accompanying constellations, called “decans”.), which belong to the star constellation of the Libra, are the cross (note: the southern cross), the sacrifice and the crown.

 

Their symbolism reveals the heavenly ladder of love of the Heavenly Father, who sent His only begotten son Jesus Christ to mankind on earth in order to save us through His sacrifice and to redeem us by His blood to become kings and priests if we accept and receive it for us personally (see John 1:51 i.c.w. Revelation 1:5-6).

 

51 He (note: Jesus Christ) then added, “Very truly I tell you (note: Nathanael), you will see ‘heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending on’ the Son of Man.”

 

… 5 and from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, the firstborn from the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth. To him who loves us and has freed us from our sins by his blood, 6 and has made us to be a kingdom and priests to serve his God and Father – to him be glory and power for ever and ever! Amen.

The Glory of God and Relationships

The evil plan (note: agenda) of darkness by Satan in the prophetic dream is connected with the influencing of human relationships. Relationships are to be manipulated, which means that in false relationships and constellations of connections there is great potential to lead away from God's glory. Not only shall people be deprived of eternity as created spirit beings, but also in their assigned life on earth the glory of God shall be reflected as little as possible. That's the adversary's plan.

As saints, we can apply and repent of this strategy: This includes the greater and "out-of-the-box" understanding of spiritual things in the body of Christ, the turning to biblical times and feasts (note: some misinterpret this as Jewish), a spiritual unity with Israel as God's chosen people and personal devotion to prophetic change in Christ in our individual and family life and all other areas in life (see Revelation 19:10e).

 

“… 10e For it is the Spirit of prophecy who bears testimony to Jesus.”

 

Amen and Amen.

 

In His Wisdom,
