Put in The Sickle, For The Harvest is Ripe


 

Proclaim this among the nations:
Prepare a war; rouse the mighty men!
Let all the soldiers draw near, let them come up!


Beat your plowshares into swords
And your pruning hooks into spears;
Let the weak say, “I am a mighty man.”

Hasten and come, all you surrounding nations,
And gather yourselves there.
Bring down, O Lord, Your mighty ones.

Let the nations be aroused
And come up to the valley of Jehoshaphat,
For there I will sit to judge
All the surrounding nations.
 


Put in the sickle, for the harvest is ripe.
Come, tread, for the wine press is full;
The vats overflow, for their wickedness is great.
 


Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision!
For the day of the Lord is near in the valley of decision.

The sun and moon grow dark
And the stars lose their brightness.


The Lord roars from Zion
And utters His voice from Jerusalem,
And the heavens and the earth tremble.
But the Lord is a refuge for His people
And a stronghold to the sons of Israel.
 


Then you will know that I am the Lord your God,
Dwelling in Zion, My holy mountain.
So Jerusalem will be holy,
And strangers will pass through it no more.
 

-----------

But Judah will be inhabited forever
And Jerusalem for all generations.

And I will avenge their blood which I have not avenged,
For the Lord dwells in Zion.

Joel 3

Behold, the Lord lays the earth waste, devastates it, distorts its surface and scatters its inhabitants.

BIG TROUBLE BREWING FROM THE NORTH FOR ISRAEL

Russia and Turkey prepare to meet Iran in Ankara


Iran, Turkey and Russia share one goal in Syria: Evict the Americans.
They don’t share much else except Ezekiel 38-39 and their march to their graveyard in Israel.

Israel's enemies can smell the weakness
dripping from the empty suit Netanyahu



Putin knows bENJI is a very weak poodle and will roll over on command

Russia prevents Israeli airstrikes in Syria


According to the report, Moscow has prevented three Israeli airstrikes on three Syrian outposts recently, and even threatened that any jets attempting such a thing would be shot down, either by Russian jets or by the S400 Anti-aircraft missiles.

.....and so does Hamas

Hamas warns Israel against harming protesters at Gaza border clashes


the scenes of Netanyahu being forced to take shelter from rockets provided a counterpoint to the image he has attempted to cultivate as “Mr. Security,” highlighting what they say is his government’s failure to deal with ongoing attacks from Gaza terror groups

Netanyahu: The war in Gaza is just a matter of time pre-election talk



 "No doubt. The question of Gaza is not whether we will fight another war we have no intention of winning.

 It's inevitable, my capitulation, appeasement  and weak defeatist policy has made all of this possible, but keep that a secret, please my dear friend.

I say that because Hamas is not exercising its authority and responsibility as a sovereign Islamic terrorist group to prevent attacks on our territory from inside Gaza. I was very, very stupid to think they would when everyone knows their agenda is to exterminate us

So it's just a matter of time. We'll choose the best time for us to fight that campaign which we have no intention of winning because I am a corrupt, empty suit, loser-politician at heart !

The cedars of Lebanon


‘The trees of the Lord are full of sap; the cedars of Lebanon, which he hath planted.’ Psalm 104:16

Suggested Further Reading: 2 Corinthians 8:1–7

A traveller tells us that in the wood, bark, and even the cones of the cedar there is an abundance of resin. They are saturated with it so that he says he can scarcely touch one of the cedars of Lebanon without having the turpentine or resin of them upon his hands. That is always the way with a truly healthy Christian; his grace is externally manifested. There is the inner life within, it is active, and by and by when it is in a right state, it saturates everything. You talk with the gracious man, he cannot help talking about Christ; you go into his house, you will soon see that a Christian lives there; you notice his actions and you will soon see he has been with Jesus. He is so full of sap that the sap must come out. He has so much of the divine life within, that the holy oil and divine balsam must flow from him. I am afraid this cannot be said of all of us; it is because we get to be dependent upon man, and not on God, and therefore have little of this sap; but if we are independent of man, and live wholly upon God, we shall be so full of sap that every part of us will betray our piety. And then let me say that this sap is abundantly to be desired. Oh, when I think what glory a full-grown Christian brings to God, what honour the faith of a believer puts upon Jesus, when I think what a knowledge of God and divine things an advanced believer possesses, when I contemplate his own joy and peace of mind, I could wish that every one of you, (though it is well to be hyssops on God’s wall), could be cedars upon God’s Lebanon. Oh that we would grow in grace and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

For meditation: Inner spiritual life must be seen in outward deeds. What a joy it is when truth in the soul overflows to such an extent that it fills a Christian’s life (Romans 15:14; 2 John 4; 3 John 2–4). Our perfect example is the Lord Jesus Christ who was full of grace as well as truth (John 1:14).
