I AM ABOUT TO TEAR ISRAEL
GEOGRAPHICALLY AND NATIONALLY
On August 13 1999 (my 23rd wedding anniversary), Linda and I went up to the Galilee to a nice quite place over looking the Sea of Galilee, just to celebrate God's goodness in our lives, and our marriage. It was pretty much an uneventful time except for the word the Lord spoke to me.
On the way up to the Galilee we went up to the top of Mt. Tabor, while we were up on this high mountain I so clearly felt the Lord say I want to give you a sign. So as we stood in prayer and silence with such an awesome view of the valley below I looked to see what the sign might be. But even as I looked at the many people up riding the winds on special parachutes, I did not sense anything in the spirit. We felt such a peace, it was incredible. But I did not sense any of this to be the sign, and we ultimately left knowing that our time on Mt. Tabor (Har Tavor in Hebrew) was over.
When we finally got to our destination on the mountain over looking the Sea of Galilee, and moved into our room. We went out to sit and have a coffee, and just enjoy the peace and quite, with again an awesome view. While just relaxing and looking out, an Israeli flag on the property caught my eye, as it was blowing in the wind. We soon went down to have a bite to eat and stroll the town centre, after which we went back to the Hostel we were staying at. As we sat again looking out at the view, my eye again was caught by the Israeli flag. But this time when I saw the flag it was torn on top and at the bottom, and I immediately knew this was the sign the Lord was telling me about. The top of the flag was torn right along the blue line about 30% of the way and the bottom also along the blue line was torn about 15%, and I began to understand the sign. I feel the Lord was saying I am about to tear Israel geographically and nationally I will tear my people Israel.
And immediately I said Lord why, again shall we suffer the loss of our land and the pain of your dealing with us your people. And His answer was short and direct, He answered by these verses of scripture.
Hosea 6:1,3 "Come let us return to the Lord, He has TORN us to pieces but he will heal us, he has injured us but he will bind up our wounds. 3) Let us acknowledge the Lord; let us press on to acknowledge him. As surely as the sun rises, he will appear; he will come to us like the winter rains, like the spring rains that water the earth."
I do not know how or when this will happen, but the part I'm praying for and waiting for is, "As surely as the sun rises, he will appear", and the Lord knows we need rain both in the natural and spirit. We are in the midst of a drought of both kinds of rain.
O Lord come, we long for your appearing !!
