PROPHETIC CHAMBER
In challenging times such as the current time of conflict we are facing globally, we need to submit to and cooperate with the prophetic anointing with the spiritual weapons entrusted to us by God, like what king Joash did in the time of the prophet Elisha (cf. 2 Corinthians 10:4-5 i.c.w. 2 Kings 13:14-17).
 
2 Corinthians 10:4-5:
4 The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds.
5 We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.
 
2 Kings 13:14-17:
14 Now Elisha had been suffering from the illness from which he died. Jehoash king of Israel went down to see him and wept over him. ‘My father! My father!’ he cried. ‘The chariots and horsemen of Israel!’
15 Elisha said, ‘Get a bow and some arrows,’ and he did so.
16 ‘Take the bow in your hands,’ he said to the king of Israel. When he had taken it, Elisha put his hands on the king’s hands.
17 ‘Open the east window,’ he said, and he opened it. ‘Shoot!’ Elisha said, and he shot. ‘The Lord’s arrow of victory, the arrow of victory over Aram!’ Elisha declared. ‘You will completely destroy the Arameans at Aphek.’
 
Bow and Arrow
 
Since the bow and arrow is a quite silent weapon in which the arrow flies through the air and cuts through it until it reaches its target, we can learn a principle of the Spirit in it.
 
This is about prophetic intercession, because king Joash was instructed by the prophet to shoot through the open window to the east without literally seeing an enemy as a target. This shows that it is a new day that is being announced, as the east is associated with the rising sun.
 
This new day includes a fresh prophetic dynamic that the LORD is releasing on the earth, which is made clear by the statement of the king of Israel to the prophet Elisha. He used the same statement as Elisha at the time of Elijah’s rapture, whereby Elisha was to leave the earthly realm through sickness (cf. 2 Kings 2:11-12 i.c.w. 2 Kings 13:14).
 
2 Kings 2:11-12:
11 As they were walking along and talking together, suddenly a chariot of fire and horses of fire appeared and separated the two of them, and Elijah went up to heaven in a whirlwind.
12 Elisha saw this and cried out, ‘My father! My father! The chariots and horsemen of Israel!’ And Elisha saw him no more. Then he took hold of his garment and tore it in two.
 
2 Kings 13:14:
14 Now Elisha had been suffering from the illness from which he died. Jehoash king of Israel went down to see him and wept over him. ‘My father! My father!’ he cried. ‘The chariots and horsemen of Israel!’
 
The Fruitfulness of Prophecy
 
Despite being sick unto death, the prophet Elisha served the king of Israel and gave him instructions for victory over Israel’s enemies.
 
This reveals that prophecy is always fruitful and effective, no matter what the situation. Even the bones of the prophet Elisha brought a dead man back to life during a time of robbery and affliction (cf. 2 Kings 13:20-21).
 
2 Kings 13:20-21:
20 Elisha died and was buried. Now Moabite raiders used to enter the country every spring.
21 Once while some Israelites were burying a man, suddenly they saw a band of raiders; so they threw the man’s body into Elisha’s tomb. When the body touched Elisha’s bones, the man came to life and stood up on his feet.
 
The reason is because in the bones, there is bone marrow, which is there to produce blood. And it is the blood that carries a voice within it (cf. Genesis 4:10 i.c.w. Hebrews 12:24).
 
Genesis 4:10:
10 The Lord said, ‘What have you done? Listen! Your brother’s blood cries out to me from the ground.
 
Hebrews 12:24:
… 24 to Jesus the mediator of a new covenant, and to the sprinkled blood that speaks a better word than the blood of Abel.
 
Based on Jeremiah’s statement and Ezekiel’s vision in the valley of the dry bones, we can also see that the bones carry a speaking dynamic (cf. Jeremiah 20:9 i.c.w. Jeremiah 23:29a; Ezekiel 37:11).
 
Jeremiah 20:9:
9 But if I say, ‘I will not mention his word or speak anymore in his name,’ his word is in my heart like a fire, a fire shut up in my bones. I am weary of holding it in; indeed, I cannot.
 
Jeremiah 23:29a:
29a ‘Is not my word like fire,’ declares the Lord, …
 
Ezekiel 37:11:
11 Then he said to me: ‘Son of man, these bones are the people of Israel. They say, “Our bones are dried up and our hope is gone; we are cut off.”
 
Allowing the Prophetic Presence to Draw Near
 
We are encouraged as people of God at this time to allow the prophetic presence of the Heavenly Father to draw near to empower us in our mission of victory, whereby it is necessary that we allow the Holy Spirit to bring the future words of our prayer as proclamations and decrees into vibration so that we are empowered to establish the victory or triumph of Christ on earth through our words.
 
This is about the will of the Father, which He wants to see established on earth (cf. Matthew 6:10).
 
Matthew 6:10:
… 10 your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.
 
This implementation of God’s will is accompanied by the redemptive power of the Word, that is, the speaking dynamic, which is paired with revelation, namely His light (cf. Genesis 1:3-5 i.c.w. James 1:17; John 1:1-5).
 
Genesis 1:3-5:
3 And God said, ‘Let there be light,’ and there was light.
4 God saw that the light was good, and he separated the light from the darkness.
5 God called the light ‘day’, and the darkness he called ‘night’. And there was evening, and there was morning – the first day.
 
James 1:17:
17 Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows.
 
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 section 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 through the Word. Not by anything else was it brought forth.
 
‘The Word was with God.’ This second section of the verse goes back further to a time when nothing had yet been created. Also at that time, the Word was with God.
 
‘The Word was God.’ This third section of the verse goes back much further to a time when the Word was God, before the Word came forth from God to be with God.
 
Since the Word of God is referred to as a person (‘Him’) in John 1:4, we can clearly see that the Word is a person. And that person is Jesus Christ, the Son of God. He is the life and light of men (cf. 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.”
 
And it is the testimony of Jesus, which is the spirit of prophecy (cf. Revelation 19:10e).
 
Revelation 19:10e:
‘...10e For it is the Spirit of prophecy who bears testimony to Jesus.’
 
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 and life, but the people didn’t recognize Him (cf. 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, having been conceived by the Holy Spirit, and came as a man to live among us (cf. 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 an indivisible person and His name is Jesus Christ (cf. 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 New Prophetic Era and the Power of God’s Hand
 
It is therefore necessary that we apply what we have already learned from the Spirit in order to draw the bow and, with the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, to speak with firm confidence the will of the Father into the future, which will later be literally revealed before our eyes.
 
Even if a prophetic era is coming to an end in our lives, the Holy Spirit is about to usher in a new prophetic era.
 
=> An era is a fixed point in time from which a series of years is reckoned. An era can also be a memorable or important date or event in the history of a thing, person, or nation. An era is a system of chronological notation computed from a given date as basis. An era is a period identified by some prominent figure or characteristic feature or stage in development. <= (Note: The text set in ‘=>’ is a part excerpt from the book ‘A Triumphant Kingdom’, page 3 by Robert Heidler & Chuck D. Pierce)
 
The statement in connection with Elisha’s instruction to Jehoash, king of Israel, to strike the arrows on the ground, reveals the power of God’s hand against the enemies and the intervention of His grace (cf. 2 Kings 13:18-19).
 
2 Kings 13:18-19:
18 Then he said, ‘Take the arrows,’ and the king took them. Elisha told him, ‘Strike the ground.’ He struck it three times and stopped.
19 The man of God was angry with him and said, ‘You should have struck the ground five or six times; then you would have defeated Aram and completely destroyed it. But now you will defeat it only three times.’
 
The numbers 3, 5 and 6 have a specific meaning here. If you look at these numbers as a mathematical exercise with a prophetic meaning, you get to the result of 14. The number ‘14’ as a numerical value carries the Hebrew word ‘jād’, which means, among other things, ‘hand, power, force’. (Note: explanation of the Hebrew word ‘jād-hand’ taken from the Elberfelder Study Bible with the word key number: 3109)
 
In this context, the statement from Psalm 118:15-16 is significant, where it says:
 
“Shouts of joy and victory resound in the tents of the righteous: ‘The Lord’s right hand has done mighty things!
The Lord’s right hand is lifted high; the Lord’s right hand has done mighty things!’”
 
Thus, amid the laying on of hands by the prophet on the hands of the king, the hidden presence of God’s hand becomes visible, which we must grasp and celebrate in honor.
 
The hidden presence of God’s hand first becomes recognizable in Genesis 2:7, where it says that ‘the LORD God made man from the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, so that man became a living being.’
 
The Hebrew word for ‘made/formed’ is ‘jāżar’ and means, among other things, ‘to shape the clay like a potter’, which in one context is linked to ‘confinement in the form of testing’ and ‘pressing’. (Note: word explanation of the Hebrew word ‘jāżar-forming’ taken from the Elberfelder Study Bible with the word key number: 3407)
 
If we allow the shaping hand of God to form us for this time and the time to come, this goes hand in hand with the transformation of our substance and structure so that oil is extracted from the olives, as with an olive press. This is in conjunction with the increase in anointing and therefore strength in a time of conflict that makes us bold in prophetic intercession as heroes in spiritual warfare, much like Gideon with his army.
 
This includes following Jesus’ instruction to ‘watch and pray’ from the garden of the olive press which is in Hebrew ‘Gethsemane’, so that Jesus’ triumph on earth becomes visible (cf. Matthew 26:36,.41a).
 
Matthew 26:36.41a:
36 Then Jesus went with his disciples to a place called Gethsemane, and he said to them, ‘Sit here while I go over there and pray.’ …
41a ‘Watch and pray …’
 
It is only with watching and praying that we will be able to see the shifts of God that have already been announced work out in our favor by not becoming passive nor hesitant. Rather, let us allow the Holy Spirit to keep the lead over our focus and the use of our tongue, helping to further advance His Kingdom and honor our God as King in it.
 
Amen and Amen.
 
In His Wisdom,

PROPHETIC CHAMBER
Deuteronomy 3:27 tells us that Moses was instructed by God to climb to the top of Mount Pisgah and to enter the mountain.
 
Deuteronomy 3:27:
27 Go up to [Note: into] the top of Pisgah and look west and north and south and east. Look at the land with your own eyes, since you are not going to cross this Jordan.
 
Furthermore, Deuteronomy 32:48-49 shows us that Moses, upon God’s instruction, went up into the Abarim Range to Mount Nebo, which was in the land of Moab opposite Jericho, to look out over the Promised Land with a so-called panoramic view.
 
Deuteronomy 32:48-49:
48 On that same day the Lord told Moses, 49 ‘Go up into the Abarim Range to Mount Nebo in Moab, opposite Jericho, and view Canaan, the land I am giving the Israelites as their own possession.
 
Standing in the Mountain and the Covering of God
 
Since the Hebrew text of these Bible passages states that Moses went ‘into the mountain’, this fact for us reveals the principle of identification with the field of responsibility assigned by God, in which we are placed by Him.
 
This is the leadership of love and humility in Christ Jesus, the rock, which doesn’t allow a hierarchical-dictatorial view in terms of ‘top-down’, but rather includes the covering character of God’s eagle wings and His care (cf. Exodus 19:4 i.c.w. Psalm 36:7).
 
Exodus 19:4:
4 “You yourselves have seen what I did to Egypt, and how I carried you on eagles’ wings and brought you to myself.
 
Psalm 36:7:
7 How priceless is your unfailing love, O God! People take refuge in the shadow of your wings.
 
Jesus also ministered according to the principle of the enclosing covering, which is clear from His statement that He longed to gather the people of Israel together like a hen gathers her chicks under her wings (cf. Matthew 23:37b).
 
Matthew 23:37b:
…, 37b how often I have longed to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, and you were not willing.
 
This also shows that God is surrounded in the throne room on His throne by the four beings and the twenty-four elders, who in turn are surrounded by many angels, indicating a circular and not vertical dynamic (cf. Revelation 4:4, 6 i.c.w. Revelation 5:11).
 
Revelation 4:4.6:
4 Surrounding the throne were twenty-four other thrones, and seated on them were twenty-four elders. They were dressed in white and had crowns of gold on their heads. …
6 Also in front of the throne there was what looked like a sea of glass, clear as crystal. In the centre, round the throne, were four living creatures, and they were covered with eyes, in front and behind.
 
Revelation 5:11:
11 Then I looked and heard the voice of many angels, numbering thousands upon thousands, and ten thousand times ten thousand. They encircled the throne and the living creatures and the elders.
 
This means that with God, relationship is placed and of priority before government according to the Word of God (cf. Matthew 22:37-39).
 
Matthew 22:37-39:
37 Jesus replied: ‘ “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.”
38 This is the first and greatest commandment.
39 And the second is like it: “Love your neighbour as yourself.”
 
Furthermore, Moses’ first facing west is an indication of the intimate spiritual relationship with God, who is Spirit, because the west is connected to the place of the Holy of Holies in the tabernacle and temple.
 
=> True spiritual leaders with a humble heart are out to do the will of God (Note: servant mindset) and not looking to serve people first.

It is God who puts it in the hearts of people to give favour to leaders so that they are effectively able to have influence in their hearts because they identify with and are one with their area of responsibility and the people who belong to it and their tasks (Note: in the mountain on the mountain).

It is therefore important that leaders do not demand their authority from people. If this kind of demand happens anyway, it would be developed solely from the realm of ‘force/power’, which ultimately leads to oppressive dictatorship.

God does not want us as His people to be ruled in a dictatorial manner, but in a fatherly and kingly way (cf. 1 Corinthians 4:15).

1 Corinthians 4:15:
15 Even if you had ten thousand guardians in Christ, you do not have many fathers, for in Christ Jesus I became your father through the gospel.
 
In the kingdom of God, authority is a result of responsibility.

Generally speaking, we only have authority in each area of the ecclesia according to the extent to which we have been given responsibility for that area. Therefore, if we have no responsibility for an area, we have no authority in it. <= (Note: based on a message by John Paul Jackson† that he taught at a conference)
 
The Prophesying of the Promise
 
The name ‘Pisgah’ as mentioned in Deuteronomy 3:27 means ‘part, piece, cleft’ and is also translated as Mount ‘Nebo’, which means ‘speaker’. The mountain mentioned belongs to the territory of the tribe of ‘Reuben’, whose name means ‘Behold, a son!’.
 
To have the right vision in relation to the promise, we may dwell on the potential of prophetic utterance, which is ‘part’ (cf. 1 Corinthians 13:9-10).
 
1 Corinthians 13:9-10:
9 For we know in part and we prophesy in part, 10 but when completeness comes, what is in part disappears.
 
We know that the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy, so it reveals that it is so crucial to see or recognize in the spirit to prophesy in faith what we have seen (cf. Revelation 19:10e i.c.w. Romans 12:6b).
 
Revelation 19:10e:
‘... 10e For it is the Spirit of prophecy who bears testimony to Jesus.’
 
Romans 12:6b:
... 6b If your gift is prophesying, then prophesy in accordance with your faith; …
 
God’s invitation to Moses to go to the top of Mount Pisgah is an indication for us as God’s people to be active in the realm of the Spirit at this time and to walk there in order to see what God is revealing.
 
It is therefore important that we as disciples of Christ recognize our spiritually assigned high place and dwell on or in it in order to grasp and implement the promise of God in us through the power of vision.
 
The promise of God is linked to phases of transition (Note: ‘Abarim’ means ‘transitions’), in which it is important to recognize Christ Jesus, the Son of God in the inheritance of the Heavenly Father allotted to us, in order to prophesy or speak out the promise from the redeemed perspective (Note: ‘Nebo’ => ‘speaker’).
 
In this context, the understanding of the worship of the Father in spirit and in truth as well as of the biblical times is of great importance, to which ‘Jericho’ which means ‘place of fragrances, moon city’ serves as a reference in the perspective of Moses (cf. Exodus 29:25; John 4:24; Numbers 10:10 i.c.w. Ephesians 1:9-10).
 
Exodus 29:25:
25 Then take them from their hands and burn them on the altar along with the burnt offering for a pleasing aroma to the Lord, a food offering presented to the Lord.
 
John 4:24:
‘… 24 God is spirit, and his worshippers must worship in the Spirit and in truth.’
 
Numbers 10:10:
‘… 10 Also at your times of rejoicing – your appointed festivals and New Moon feasts – you are to sound the trumpets over your burnt offerings and fellowship offerings, and they will be a memorial for you before your God. I am the Lord your God.’
 
Ephesians 1:9-10:
… 9 he made known to us the mystery of his will according to his good pleasure, which he purposed in Christ, 10 to be put into effect when the times reach their fulfilment – to bring unity to all things in heaven and on earth under Christ.
 
The Seven Facets of Moses on the Heights
 
During his walk with God, Moses understood the importance of the higher perspective as he acted spiritually seven times in different ways.
 
Moses was active on the mountain in the following facets:
 
  1. as a spiritual prayer warrior during the war against Amalek (cf. Exodus 17:8-16),
  2. as a legislator and divine architect by receiving the Torah and the description of the tabernacle (cf. Exodus 24:12-18ff.),
  3. as intercessor and advocate for the people of Israel after they had sinned with the golden calf (cf. Exodus 32:30-32ff.),
  4. as the lawgiver of ‘extra grace’ through the reception of the second tablets of stone (cf. Exodus 24:4ff.),
  5. as the transmitter of the priestly anointing from Aaron to Eleazar on Mount Hor (cf. Numbers 20:23-28),
  6. as a witness to the promise on Mount Nebo (cf. Deuteronomy 34:1ff.)
  7. as a messenger in the form of the legislator on the Mount of Transfiguration (cf. Matthew 17:1-8).
The difference to all of Moses’ stays on the mountain was the Mount of Transfiguration, to which he descended together with Elijah by God’s permission. Moses did not climb this mountain as before.
 
This reveals to us a higher level of government in the Spirit, which works from the supernatural realm into the earthly realm, much like the bride or wife of the Lamb comes down in the form of the heavenly Jerusalem (cf. Revelation 21:2.9-11a).
 
Revelation 21:2.9-11a:
2 I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband. …
9 One of the seven angels who had the seven bowls full of the seven last plagues came and said to me, ‘Come, I will show you the bride, the wife of the Lamb.’
10 And he carried me away in the Spirit to a mountain great and high, and showed me the Holy City, Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God.
11a It shone with the glory of God, …
 
Moreover, only in the Gospel of Mark is Elijah mentioned first before Moses, while Jesus was on the mountain with his three chosen disciples, namely Peter, James and John (cf. Mark 9:2, 4).
 
Mark 9:2.4:
2 After six days Jesus took Peter, James and John with him and led them up a high mountain, where they were all alone. There he was transfigured before them. …
4 And there appeared before them Elijah and Moses, who were talking with Jesus.
 
Since everything first has a special place with God (cf. Exodus 12:13; Exodus 23:16), it is beneficial to study the first Hebrew letters of the names of Yeshua, so Jesus, Elijah and Moses.
 
If you put the first Hebrew letters of these names together, you get the Hebrew word ‘jām’ phonetically, which is used for ‘west’, among other things. And it is the west which, as mentioned, is associated with the intimate spiritual relationship with God from which we receive guidance.
 
From this we can derive an end-time movement of the ecclesia for us. This movement involves Christ leading a called and chosen portion of His ecclesia into a higher realm of government.
 
This requires a discarding of limited perspectives that are more earthly than spiritually oriented. In doing so, the Lord confronts our previous understanding of time and human inability to understand the future. This requires a higher degree of discernment and deeper humility in relation to God’s eternal plan.
 
On the Mount of Transfiguration, the Heavenly Father speaks again and points out that we must be obedient to His Son Jesus Christ (cf. Mark 9:7 i.c.w. Deuteronomy 18:15).
 
Mark 9:7:
7 Then a cloud appeared and covered them, and a voice came from the cloud: ‘This is my Son, whom I love. Listen to him [Note: Obey him]!’
 
Deuteronomy 18:15:
15 The Lord your God will raise up for you a prophet like me from among you, from your fellow Israelites. You must listen [Note: obey] to him.
 
This obedience goes hand in hand with the Father’s anointing and impulse through the channels of prophethood, represented by Elijah and the legislation of God represented by Moses. As an ecclesia, there is no substitute for obedience and going ahead in the sonship of God, which results in separation.
 
In Hebrew, the head or top (Hebrew ‘rō`š’) of a mountain is associated with the beginning of a new era and the letter ‘Resch’. The ‘breath’ with the letter ‘He’ and ‘the call to see’.
 
The Renewing of Mind and Spirit
 
Through the guidance of the Holy Spirit, the positioning on the high place determined by God is accompanied by the renewing of our spirit and mind, so that we can recognize His will for the coming time and live in it (cf. John 16:13 i.c.w. Romans 12:2; Ephesians 4:23-24).
 
John 16:13:
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.
 
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.
 
The Closing of a Past Time
 
As God instructed Moses on the top of Mount Pisgah to turn his gaze first to the west, then to the north, to the south and finally to the east, it shows us that it is necessary for us to complete an old phase of time and to stand in the Spirit in our promise, even if we are not yet literally in our promise.
 
First of all, it is important that we see God’s plan in faith and then move forward in it with firm confidence, proclaiming the things we have seen in the Spirit (cf. Hebrews 11:1).
 
Hebrews 11:1:
1 Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.
 
It is the power of the Word that brings into existence the things that are not visible. It is similar to the creation of the earth by God (cf. Genesis 1:3 i.c.w. John 1:1-4).
 
Genesis 1:3:
3 And God said, ‘Let there be light,’ and there was light.
 
John 1:1-4:
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.
 
When Moses looked from Pisgah into the land of promise, his inner man (Note: spirit man) was in the land of promise, while his outer man (Note: flesh, physical body) was outside of it.
 
This means that even if we aren’t literally in our full promise yet, through the right prophetic perspective we can already implement the promise in us as we finish an old season.
 
When that happens, it’s important that we move by the Holy Spirit into what we don’t know about God, which includes His secret nature. It is similar to Moses when he was on Mount Horeb/Sinai and entered into the dark cloud where God was. This is the realm that requires our faith in order to meet God face to face and recognize His plans (cf. Exodus 24:15-16.18 i.c.w. Hebrews 11:1).
 
Exodus 24:15-16.18:
15 When Moses went up on the mountain, the cloud covered it, 16 and the glory of the Lord settled on Mount Sinai. For six days the cloud covered the mountain, and on the seventh day the Lord called to Moses from within the cloud.
18 Then Moses entered the cloud as he went on up the mountain. And he stayed on the mountain forty days and forty nights.
 
Hebrews 11:1:
1 Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.
 
The Sign of Decrease and the Preparation for Increase
 
Even if at first it looks like things are decreasing, there will be a glorious increase of the presence of God and His intervention (Note: West => sunset; north => absence of light; south => sudden presence of light that recedes, east => to make room for the new time of God’s righteousness).
 
The decrease is nothing more than God’s instruction to us as His people to finish the old time and not be confused when the darkness increases. This serves as a sign that it prepares the room and way for His rising righteousness.
 
The darkness in the form of a shadow is merely the indication that Christ Jesus, the sun of righteousness, is shining and healing is under His wings (cf. Malachi 3:20 i.c.w. Acts 5:15).
 
Malachi 3:20:
2 But for you who revere my name, the sun of righteousness will rise with healing in its rays. And you will go out and frolic like well-fed calves.
 
Acts 5:15:
15 As a result, people brought those who were ill into the streets and laid them on beds and mats so that at least Peter’s shadow might fall on some of them as he passed by.
 
It is therefore essential that we stand as body of Christ on the mountain, like a city that is on the hill, and let our light shine, as Jesus said (cf. Matthew 5:14 i.c.w. Isaiah 60:1-3).
 
Matthew 5:14:
14 ‘You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. …’
 
Isaiah 60:1-3:
1 ‘Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord rises upon you.
2 See, darkness covers the earth and thick darkness is over the peoples, but the Lord rises upon you and his glory appears over you.
3 Nations will come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your dawn. …’
 
It is up to us to show a willingness to be humbly positioned so that divine vision and the perspective of eternity guides our hearts, and we let it shine from the eyes of our hearts through the light of wisdom and revelation (cf. Ephesians 1:17-18).
 
Ephesians 1:17-18:
17 I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better. 18 I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in his holy people, …
 
Amen and Amen.

PROPHETIC CHAMBER
In connection with the raising of the dead of ‘Lazarus – My God is help’ through the intervention of Jesus as written in John 11, the Holy Spirit led me to the field of commission of the servant Abraham, who bears the Hebrew name ‘Eliezer’. This is about the meaning of his Hebrew name, which is the same for ‘Lazarus’ (cf. Genesis 15:2).
 
Genesis 15:2:
2 But Abram said, ‘Sovereign Lord, what can you give me since I remain childless and the one who will inherit my estate is Eliezer of Damascus?’
 
The Assignment to Lead into Divine Togetherness
 
In the life of the servant of Abraham, there was a special commission that involved leading the younger generation into togetherness in the form of Isaac, which also corresponds to the apostolic mission (cf. Genesis 24:1-4 i.c.w. Mark 6:7).
 
Genesis 24:1-4:
1 Abraham was now very old, and the Lord had blessed him in every way.
2 He said to the senior servant in his household, the one in charge of all that he had, ‘Put your hand under my thigh.
3 I want you to swear by the Lord, the God of heaven and the God of earth, that you will not get a wife for my son from the daughters of the Canaanites, among whom I am living,
4 but will go to my country and my own relatives and get a wife for my son Isaac.’
 
Mark 6:7:
7 Calling the Twelve to him, he began to send them out two by two and gave them authority over impure spirits.
 
In the context of Lazarus, we may view the commissioning of Eliezer as a sending forth in resurrection power, which involves that which is not possible coming into existence. This is about an increase in the joy and glory of God, which is connected to the field of authority and the kingship of the ecclesia (cf. Proverbs 12:4a).
 
Proverbs 12:4a:
4a A wife of noble character is her husband’s crown, …
 
The servant of Abraham was sure of his position under the leadership of the ‘father’ (Note: ‘Abraham’ means ‘father of many’) and his responsibility given to him because he had the wealth of his master. We know that he decided to go with ten camels and wealth into the future of the ‘togetherness of the son of Abraham’ (cf. Genesis 24:10).
 
Genesis 24:10:
10 Then the servant left, taking with him ten of his master’s camels loaded with all kinds of good things from his master. He set out for Aram Naharaim and made his way to the town of Nahor.
 
The Grace of God to Contribute to the Glorification of the LORD
 
We need to understand that we should be aware that we do not define the things entrusted to us by the Heavenly Father as our possessions. This is given as grace entrusted to us to be used for the glorification of God’s plan and purpose (cf. Galatians 2:20).
 
Galatians 2:20:
20 I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.
 
Jesus modeled this principle for us by reflecting the Father on earth in His actions, words and appearance (cf. John 5:19; John 14:9-11).
 
John 5:19:
19 Jesus gave them this answer: ‘Very truly I tell you, the Son can do nothing by himself; he can do only what he sees his Father doing, because whatever the Father does the Son also does.
 
John 14:9-11:
9 Jesus answered: ‘Don’t you know me, Philip, even after I have been among you such a long time? Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, “Show us the Father”?
10 Don’t you believe that I am in the Father, and that the Father is in me? The words I say to you I do not speak on my own authority. Rather, it is the Father, living in me, who is doing his work.
11 Believe me when I say that I am in the Father and the Father is in me; or at least believe on the evidence of the works themselves.
 
This is why it is necessary for us to be absorbed in the structure of servanthood, as Jesus instructed (cf. Matthew 23:11), to have the Father’s blessings at our disposal.
 
Matthew 23:11:
11 The greatest among you will be your servant.
 
This helps us not to set our hearts on the material and intangible things the LORD entrusts to us in life (cf. Psalm 62:11).
 
Psalm 62:11:
10 Do not trust in extortion or put vain hope in stolen goods; though your riches increase, do not set your heart on them.
 
=> In Hebrew, the verb ‘to have’ does not exist directly. In this context, the twelfth Hebrew letter ‘Lamed’ has a special meaning.
The ‘Lamed’ is used to communicate what is known as ‘to have’. The Hebrew word ‘li’ is used for ‘I have’ or ‘mine’. The word ‘lo’ is used for ‘he has’ or ‘his’. And the word ‘lecha’ is used for ‘you have’ or ‘yours’. So you can’t really ‘have’ in Hebrew. But what you ultimately ‘have’ is better than ‘have’. The ‘Lamed’ means ‘to’. So instead of saying ‘I have’, you say it is ‘to me’. And instead of saying ‘he has’ or ‘his’, you actually say ‘it is to him’. With God, it is beneficial to live in harmony with holy language. This means giving up the idea that you ‘have’ in this world. (cf. 1 John 2:15-17) <=
 
1 John 2:15-17:
15 Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, love for the Father is not in them.
16 For everything in the world – the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life – comes not from the Father but from the world.
17 The world and its desires pass away, but whoever does the will of God lives for ever.
 
(Note: The text set in ‘=>’ is based on a German explanation of ‘Lamed’ from the book ‘THE BOOK OF MYSTERIES’, page 170 by Jonathan Cahn)
 
The Land of the Two Rivers and the City of Nahor
 
The coming glory that we, like Eliezer, will encounter will be accompanied by a divine measure of rest and spiritual power as well as two specific aspects of the Holy Spirit’s work, as indicated by the terms ‘the land of Mesopotamia’ and ‘the city of Nahor’. The land of ‘Mesopotamia’ can be described as the ‘land of two rivers’ and the name ‘Nahor’ means ‘snorting, snoring’.
 
These two rivers are the Tigris and the Euphrates, which according to the Word of God are the third and fourth branches of the outgoing river in Eden. The rivers are closely connected with the hidden blessings of God, which is based on the principle of Genesis 2:11-12.
 
Genesis 2:11-12:
11 The name of the first is the Pishon; it winds through the entire land of Havilah, where there is gold.
12 (The gold of that land is good; aromatic resin and onyx are also there.)
 
Jesus Christ clearly referred to the power or work of the Holy Spirit in connection with the meaning of the river structure (cf. John 7:38-39a).
 
John 7:38-39a:
‘… 38 Whoever believes in me, as Scripture has said, rivers of living water will flow from within them.’
39a By this he meant the Spirit, …
 
This reveals to us that it is the Holy Spirit who leads to the hidden treasures in Christ Jesus, which are wisdom and knowledge (cf. Colossians 2:2-3).
 
Colossians 2:2-3:
2 My goal is that they may be encouraged in heart and united in love, so that they may have the full riches of complete understanding, in order that they may know the mystery of God, namely, Christ, 3 in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.
 
In addition, the guidance of the Holy Spirit helps us to recognize the promise of God in the future, which is still hidden from our current spiritual perspective.
 
The name ‘Tigris’ means ‘sharp, pointed, arrow’. The name ‘Euphrates’ means ‘sweet, pleasant water’. Based on the outgoing of the servant of Abraham, it becomes clear that it is necessary to enter into the rest of God and devote oneself to the sharpness of His Word and His revelatory power (cf. Hebrews 4:1.12-13 i.c.w. 1 Samuel 14:27).
 
Hebrews 4:1.12-13:
1 Therefore, since the promise of entering his rest still stands, let us be careful that none of you be found to have fallen short of it. …
12 For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.
13 Nothing in all creation is hidden from God’s sight. Everything is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of him to whom we must give account.
 
1 Samuel 14:27:
27 But Jonathan had not heard that his father had bound the people with the oath, so he reached out the end of the staff that was in his hand and dipped it into the honeycomb. He raised his hand to his mouth, and his eyes brightened.
 
The Well of Water and the Ten Camels
 
It is no coincidence that the servant of Abraham set out with ten camels on the way to the future of the ‘togetherness of Isaac’, because camels also stand for bearers of burdens and thus also point to the help of angels who help us as people of God to obtain or secure the promise of the LORD (cf. Hebrews 1:14).
 
Hebrews 1:14:
14 Are not all angels ministering spirits sent to serve those who will inherit salvation?
 
Furthermore, like Eliezer, we are called to cooperate with the presence of the ‘spring’, which in Hebrew is associated with the ‘eye’ (Note: Hebrew ‘Ayin’). The area of the ‘spring’ is the place where we should ask ourselves what we want to focus on and what we want to take hold of (cf. Genesis 24:13.16).
 
Genesis 24:13.16:
13 See, I am standing beside this spring [Note: Hebrew: ‘Ayin’], and the daughters of the townspeople are coming out to draw water. …
16 The woman was very beautiful, a virgin; no man had ever slept with her. She went down to the spring, filled her jar and came up again.
 
The area of the ‘well’ is in this context a reference to the spirit of prophecy, which is the testimony of Jesus (cf. Revelation 19:10e).
 
Revelation 19:10e:
... 19e For it is the Spirit of prophecy who bears testimony to Jesus.
 
God granted Eliezer’s request so that Rebekah as ‘the promise of the togetherness of Isaac’ appeared to that time in the realm of the ‘eye’ to bring the hidden waters of God’s depths to the surface to reveal them before men represented by Eliezer, and angels represented by the camels (cf. Ephesians 3:8b-10).
 
Ephesians 3:8b-10:
..., 8b this grace was given me: to preach to the Gentiles the boundless riches of Christ, 9 and to make plain to everyone the administration of this mystery, which for ages past was kept hidden in God, who created all things.
10 His intent was that now, through the church, the manifold wisdom of God should be made known to the rulers and authorities in the heavenly realms, …
 
For us, it is also of great importance that the number ‘10 – ăśar’ heralds the first level of a decade of tens and in Hebrew sounds phonetically similar to the name ‘Eliezer’ at the end. It is the level of the ‘tens’, which consist of two digits and in this context refers to ‘togetherness’ initiated by God the Father. (Note: Hebrew word explanation for the number ‘10 – ăśar’ taken from the Elberfelder Study Bible with the word key number: 6349-6352*).
 
While Eliezer stayed in the natural realm at the well (Note: Hebrew ‘Beer’), he acted in the supernatural realm in the dynamic of the eye (Note: Hebrew ‘Ayin’), i.e. the prophetic perspective according to the biblical passages from Genesis 24:11.20 and Genesis 24:13.16.
 
Genesis 24:11.20:
11 He made the camels kneel down near the well [Note: Hebrew ‘Beer’] outside the town; it was towards evening, the time the women go out to draw water. …
20 So she quickly emptied her jar into the trough, ran back to the well [Note: Hebrew ‘Beer’] to draw more water, and drew enough for all his camels.
 
Genesis 24:13.16:
13 See, I am standing beside this spring [Note: Hebrew ‘Ayin’], and the daughters of the townspeople are coming out to draw water. …
16 The woman was very beautiful, a virgin; no man had ever slept with her. She went down to the spring [Note: Hebrew ‘Ayin’], filled her jar and came up again.
 
The Weight of Glory
 
This resulted in Rebekah getting blessed with the glory of the father, Abraham, of her coming promise of togetherness, Isaac, through the servant of Abraham and thus increased in glory and weight (cf. Genesis 24:22).
 
Genesis 24:22:
22 When the camels had finished drinking, the man took out a gold nose ring weighing a beka and two gold bracelets weighing ten shekels.
 
‘Rebekah’ means ‘one captivating with her beauty’, whose spiritual inheritance points to the authority of God, His royal counsel, power and rest, which the LORD desires to express through His ecclesia in this age and the age to come (cf. Genesis 24:24).
 
Genesis 24:24:
24 She answered him, ‘I am the daughter of Bethuel [Note: descendant/man of God], the son that Milkah [Note: counselor, queen] bore to Nahor [Note: snorting, snorting one].’
 
The promise of Rebekah encompasses the spiritual inheritance that extends through the generations into our time to reveal the glory of God in a concentrated form.
 
May this beauty join with the joy of the LORD to recognize His strength in this time, which is entrusted to us as saints in Christ.
 
Amen and Amen.
