Gathered Out of His Kingdom - UBM [David Eells]

I had an absolutely astounding dream last night. Brad was the announcer/MC at some sort of evening function for UBM that was being held in a large auditorium. (Mar.1:3) The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make ye ready the way of the Lord, Make his paths straight. The Holy Spirit through the John the Baptist ministries is getting ready to announce the man-child anointed with the latter rain.) The lights had been dimmed to quiet down the people (a solemn assembly) and Brad came out on the side of the stage to make the announcement. (Brad is a producer for the broadcast which is where this announcement has been made and may be made in a greater way as John did at the beginning of Jesus ministry.) I thought he was going to present the actual guest, but instead he announced another announcer (John the Baptist/Elijah ministry who prepares the way for the coming of the Lord in His first fruits and people.) who was going to announce the actual guest. (The Man-child will come and be opposed by Satan's religious imposters.)

Then yet another announcer started speaking from the side of the stage. We never saw him but only heard his voice. (the spirit of faction is not seen but it is heard through its factious ministers), It appeared to be a black man speaking (deceptive dark spirit speaking through those who live in darkness). His voice was like soft, smooth, smoky silk, just incredible. (His ministers fashion themselves as ministers of righteousness but beguile the innocent with fair speech. {Rom.16:17} Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them that are causing the divisions and occasions of stumbling, contrary to the doctrine which ye learned: and turn away from them. {18} For they that are such serve not our Lord Christ, but their own belly; and by their smooth and fair speech they beguile the hearts of the innocent.)

He kept repeating over and over that the expected guests (corporate body of fallen Christians) were very happy where they were and didn't want to return, be there, or come back, so we weren't supposed to be concerned about them. By the way, I could tell from his voice that he was quite pleased the actual guests didn't want to come back; he relished that thought. (He takes pleasure in conquering these people.) (I had a feeling while in the dream that the reason the guests weren't there and didn't want to return was because they were dead.) (They are dead, as the Lord showed us in previous revelations, because they are like the valley of dry bones; they are dead in their sins of unforgiveness and judgment and are therefore unforgiven and lost. People who have left larger UBM in the house cleanings, some of which will not be back because they have been proven by testing to not be qualified. But many others will be back through repentance because we have announced the dreams that say so and God resurrects dry bones, even if the demons deny it will happen. In deliverance, the demons sometimes say things like, "We won't leave", or "They like us here; you can't cast us out", etc. This is no exception. Joseph's brothers could not speak peaceably to him and railed on him and plotted his death but they were humbled when starving in their tribulation. It will be so again. Joseph's brothers finally understood who he was after the second year of the seven years of famine - Genesis 45:4-6. This is also a type of the remnant of natural Israel coming to the Man-child but in this case the fullness of the Gentiles will be coming to an end, as in Romans 11:25.)

Anyway, after he'd hypnotically repeated that many times, he went on to introduce the substitute guest. (They are a substitute because the people we once knew as friends and allies are now different people entirely, being infected with hatred and faction.) And when we looked, there, hanging vertically in the air above the stage, was a thin bundle of long, dark, dried-up dead sticks. (This reminds me of David Eells' dream of the dryed-up cow of the apostate church giving birth to that baby boy.) It had a yellow tie toward the top of the bundle. (The tares are being bundled, as Jesus said, to be thrown into the fire of tribulation.) The tie was tied just as if it were around a man's neck and not around a bunch of sticks. I was surprised that there was no man and just the sticks wearing a yellow tie. (The bundle of dried sticks represent those who left UBM when deceived by faction and witchcraft but when the heat of tribulation is applied to many of them, the serpent spirit will leave them and they will be resurrected from spiritual death, like the dry bones of Israel. {Act.28:3} But when Paul had gathered a bundle of sticks and laid them on the fire, a viper came out by reason of the heat, and fastened on his hand. {Eze.37:11} Then he said unto me, Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel: behold, they say, Our bones are dried up, and our hope is lost; we are clean cut off.

I believe the Lord gave me the meaning of the yellow tie by random. It represents the fear that comes on these fruitless people in the troubles God will put upon them. The text given is also a rebuke to the works of these people. {Isa.33:14} The sinners in Zion are afraid; trembling hath seized the godless ones: Who among us can dwell with the devouring fire? who among us can dwell with everlasting burnings? These wicked people realize that they are not standing up to the fires that come to burn up wood, hay and stubble. This is because they are not qualified for grace to escape, for they have given no grace to others. Their conditions to overcome are here: {15} He that walketh righteously, and speaketh uprightly; he that despiseth the gain of oppressions, that shaketh his hands from taking a bribe, that stoppeth his ears from hearing of blood, and shutteth his eyes from looking upon evil.

For those righteous who do these things, God makes great promises. {16} He shall dwell on high; his place of defence shall be the munitions of rocks; his bread shall be given [him]; his waters shall be sure. {17} Thine eyes shall see the king in his beauty: they shall behold a land that reacheth afar. The promised land of milk and honey. {18} Thy heart shall muse on the terror (no fear): Where is he that counted, where is he that weighed [the tribute]? where is he that counted the towers? {19} Thou shalt not see the fierce people, a people of a deep speech that thou canst not comprehend, of a strange tongue that thou canst not understand. They will escape the beast. {20} Look upon Zion, the city of our solemnities: thine eyes shall see Jerusalem a quiet habitation, a tent that shall not be removed, the stakes whereof shall never be plucked up, neither shall any of the cords thereof be broken.

{21} But there Jehovah will be with us in majesty, a place of broad rivers and streams, wherein shall go no galley with oars, neither shall gallant ship pass thereby. {22} For Jehovah is our judge, Jehovah is our lawgiver, Jehovah is our king; he will save us. But the wicked will not catch the breath of the Spirit to be saved. {23} Thy tacklings are loosed; they could not strengthen the foot of their mast, they could not spread the sail: then was the prey of a great spoil divided; (They will be plundered by those whom they plundered.) the lame took the prey. {24} And the inhabitant shall not say, I am sick: the people that dwell therein shall be forgiven their iniquity.

When I asked for a Word, I received: (Jer.25:13) And I will bring upon that land all my words which I have pronounced against it, even all that is written in this book, which Jeremiah hath prophesied against all the nations. (This is a testing that is going on around the world. Notice in the verses given that the bundles, tares and sinners were thrown into the fire for their sins. {Mat.13:41} The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that cause stumbling, and them that do iniquity, {42} and shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth. {43} Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He that hath ears, let him hear.

Cast Forth as a Branch
Eve Brast - 05/04/2013
(David's notes in red)

I dreamed this morning of a confirmation of the fall of the factious. My dog (Curtis) and I were up in a very large, tall tree. My husband, Eddie ("wealthy protector" -- the Lord), sent me (the Bride) up into the tree to inspect the branches and mark the ones that were dead so he could cut them off. ([Like the Lord] In real life, Eddie has a landscaping business and does a lot of tree trimming".) I took Curtis with me because he could easily sniff out those branches that were rotten and dead and he would alert me when he found one. (Curtis means "wise council".) (The Bride with wise council knows dead Christians by their lack of fruit.) {Joh.15:1-6} I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman. Every branch in me that beareth not fruit, he taketh it away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he cleanseth it , that it bear more fruit. Already ye are clean because of the Word which I have spoken unto you. Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; so neither can ye, except ye abide in me. I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same beareth much fruit: for apart from me ye can do nothing. If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and they gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned.

As I climbed up into the branches, I found a sniper's nest that was built on a particular branch. (Psa.11:2) For, lo, the wicked bend the bow, They make ready their arrow upon the string, That they may shoot in darkness at the upright in heart. It had a wooden post with a solid, flat, sanded wooden ring mounted on top of it that was large enough for a man to stand inside and rest his elbows on for taking aim with a rifle. It looked like the shape of a manmade halo, like what you would put on a child, to dress them up like an angel. I got on top of the branch to inspect it. It seemed solid and sturdy from the outside but it was stained with a green wood stain (in order to fake life in a dead limb). But Curtis started barking urgently and warning me to get to the center of the tree where the trunk was. (I could understand him in the dream when he barked.)

Suddenly, an old friend of mine named Cindy (who had been carried away in the same factious episode that I had been in back in 2008) came climbing up to get into the sniper's nest. (A factious female is used here to represent a body of the factious who rail at the righteous from darness, like a sniper.) I quickly got over to the trunk with Curtis and as soon as I did, Cindy climbed inside the sniper's ring and was smiling as she commented on how sturdy it was. {Jer.5:12,13} They have denied the Lord and said, it is not he; neither shall evil come upon us; neither shall we see the sword of famine: and the prophets shall become wind, and the word is not in them: thus shall it be done unto them. (These factious people think that their place in the Vine is solid and secure.)

Suddenly, a supernatural force tore that branch off of the tree and I watched over the side of the trunk as the branch fell, along with Cindy. It happened in slow motion, to where I could watch every detail of her fall and the branch being broken to pieces. (What we give is what we get; what we sow is what we reap. Their fall from God's forgiveness which they refuse to give to others. Their fall from faith which they want to have for themselves but refuse to have for others. Their fall from God's grace, which they didn't offer to others.) As she and the branch fell together, they were dashed first against the trunkof the tree midway down (Jesus), and then continued falling a very long way down, until the branch, landing first, broke in pieces and then Cindy landed on top of it. Her dead body, along with the branch, had fallen on top of another man with dark hair (submission to darkness) who had also fallen from the tree in a separate previous incident and had been laying face down dead in the dirt, dead, in the same spot. (The fall of the corporate body is upon the head of this dark-haired man who fell from grace first. The deceivers who spread the false spirit of faction and slander are more guilty than the deceived. The body's blood is upon his hands. {Luk.12:45} But if that servant shall say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming; and shall begin to beat the menservants and the maidservants, and to eat and drink, and to be drunken; {46} the lord of that servant shall come in a day when he expecteth not, and in an hour when he knoweth not, and shall cut him asunder, and appoint his portion with the unfaithful. {47} And that servant, who knew his lord's will, and made not ready, nor did according to his will, shall be beaten with many [stripes]; {48} but he that knew not, and did things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few [stripes]. And to whomsoever much is given, of him shall much be required: and to whom they commit much, of him will they ask the more.)

It seemed that the fall had been much further than the climb! {Mat.7:26,27} And everyone that heareth these words of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, who built his house upon the sand: and the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and smote upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall thereof.

{Jer.5:7-13} How can I pardon thee? Thy children have forsaken me, and sworn by them that are no gods. When I had fed them to the full, they committed adultery, and assembled themselves in troops at the harlots' houses; they were as fed horses roaming at large; every one neighed after his neighbor's wife. Shall I not visit for these things? saith the Lord; and shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this? Go ye up upon her wall, and destroy; but make not a full end: take away her branches; for they are not the Lord's. For the house of Israel and the house of Judah have dealt treacherously against me, saith the Lord. They have denied the Lord and said, it is not he; neither shall evil come upon us; neither shall we see the sword of famine: and the prophets shall become wind, and the word is not in them: thus shall it be done unto them.

The Snare of the Fowler
Barbara Arroyo - 05/09/2013
(David's notes in red)

I dreamed I was outside somewhere and I don't know who I was with but it appeared to be a man. Anyway, a snake was being thrown at me as one would throw a frisbie or something. The man next to me would catch it and throw it back into the air and it would immediately come back. This happened about three times. (A snake represents a serpent spirit that Jesus gave us authority over. Its poison is in its head, as thoughts and words. When it bites a person, the poison goes into their thought-life like a virus and totally changes that person, destroying their walk in the Kingdom and making them a carrier of this spiritual disease. It is a demon that goes out from this man in words like a frisbie to deceive one and bring them into captivity in their fold. This is the snare of the fowler that is spoken of in the Word. One can escape if they will obey the commands given to keep them safe. {Psa.91:3} For he will deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, And from the deadly pestilence. {124:7} Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: The snare is broken, and we are escaped.

Some commands given to keep one safe from the snare:

First, ask the slanderer if he has gone to the person alone with his railing - Matthew 18:15. Then ask if he took a witness or two - Matthew 18:16. This must be done before going to the church which is Matthew 18:17. If he says yes, go to the one being attacked and see if the truth is being told because all factious people are liars. If you find him a liar or going behind ones back, "mark" him as one seeking division - Romans 16:17,18.

{Tit.3:10} A factious man after a first and second admonition refuse; {11} knowing that such a one is perverted, and sinneth, being self-condemned.

{Rom.2:8} but unto them that are factious, and obey not the truth, but obey unrighteousness, [shall be] wrath and indignation.

{16:17} Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them that are causing the divisions and occasions of stumbling, contrary to the doctrine which ye learned: and turn away from them. {18} For they that are such serve not our Lord Christ, but their own belly; and by their smooth and fair speech they beguile the hearts of the innocent.

{1Co.5:11} but as it is, I wrote unto you not to keep company, if any man that is named a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a reviler (railer or slanderer: one who speaks against others), or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such a one no, not to eat. {12} For what have I to do with judging them that are without? Do not ye judge them that are within? {13} But them that are without God judgeth. Put away the wicked man from among yourselves.

{2Th.3:6} Now we command you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye withdraw yourselves from every brother that walketh disorderly, and not after the tradition which they received of us. {14} And if any man obeyeth not our word by this epistle, note that man, that ye have no company with him, to the end that he may be ashamed.

{2Jn.9} Whosoever goeth onward and abideth not in the teaching of Christ, hath not God: he that abideth in the teaching, the same hath both the Father and the Son. {10} If any one cometh unto you, and bringeth not this teaching, receive him not into [your] house, and give him no greeting: {11} for he that giveth him greeting partaketh in his evil works.

{2Ti.3:1} But know this, that in the last days grievous times shall come. {2} For men shall be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, haughty, railers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, {3} without natural affection, implacable, slanderers, without self-control, fierce, no lovers of good, {4} traitors, headstrong, puffed up, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God; {5} holding a form of godliness, but having denied the power thereof: from these also turn away. {6} For of these are they that creep into houses, and take captive silly women (bodies of sinners) laden with sins, led away by divers lusts, {7} ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. {8} And even as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also withstand the truth. Men corrupted in mind, reprobate concerning the faith. {9} But they shall proceed no further. For their folly shall be evident unto all men, as theirs also came to be.

{Psa.101:5} Whoso privily slandereth his neighbor, him will I destroy: Him that hath a high look and a proud heart will I not suffer.

{Heb.13:17} Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit [to them]: for they watch in behalf of your souls, as they that shall give account; that they may do this with joy, and not with grief:for this [were] unprofitable for you.

Please protect yourselves and your families; give consideration to these, especially the links: "Christian" Snipers

This was prophesied to come: David Wilkerson's Vision of Satan's Slander War

People are being separated from the Bride: Supernatural Warnings to Prepare for the Bride; Removing Stumbling Blocks to the Kingdom

However, if a person is in secret sin or not dealing with their sin, they will be taken out, separating the tares from the wheat. These are verses that have been given to many regarding the strong delusion that separates the sinners.

Separation of the willful sinners:

{Mat.13:41} The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that cause stumbling, and them that do iniquity, {42} and shall cast them into the furnace of fire (the furnace of Beast captivity and the tribulation): there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth. {43} Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He that hath ears, let him hear.

{Eze.20:38} and I will purge out from among you the rebels, and them that transgress against me; I will bring them forth out of the land where they sojourn, but they shall not enter into the land of Israel: and ye shall know that I am Jehovah. {39} As for you, O house of Israel, thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Go ye, serve every one his idols, and hereafter also, if ye will not hearken unto me; but my holy name shall ye no more profane with your gifts, and with your idols.

{Amo.9:9} For, lo, I will command, and I will sift the house of Israel among all the nations, like as [grain] is sifted in a sieve, yet shall not the least kernel fall upon the earth. {10} All the sinners of my people shall die by the sword, who say, The evil shall not overtake nor meet us. {11} In that day will I raise up the tabernacle of David that is fallen, and close up the breaches thereof; and I will raise up its ruins, and I will build it as in the days of old; {12} that they may possess the remnant of Edom... (David, as the Man-child, conquered the Edomites, Esau's seed, representing the fallen seed of Abraham who persecuted their brethren and were rejected.)

{Eze.34:16} I will seek that which was lost, and will bring back that which was driven away, and will bind up that which was broken, and will strengthen that which was sick: but the fat and the strong I will destroy; I will feed them in justice. {17} And as for you, O my flock, thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I judge between sheep and sheep, the rams and the he-goats. {18} Seemeth it a small thing unto you to have fed upon the good pasture, but ye must tread down with your feet the residue of your pasture? and to have drunk of the clear waters, but ye must foul the residue with your feet? {19} And as for my sheep, they eat that which ye have trodden with your feet, and they drink that which ye have fouled with your feet. They pollute and pervert the living Word. {20} Therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah unto them: Behold, I, even I, will judge between the fat sheep (full of flesh) and the lean sheep (living the crucified life). {21} Because ye thrust with side and with shoulder, and push all the diseased with your horns, till ye have scattered them abroad; {22} therefore will I save my flock, and they shall no more be a prey; and I will judge between sheep and sheep. {23} And I will set up one shepherd over them (Jesus), and he shall feed them, even my servant David (Jesus in the Man-child Davids); he shall feed them, and he shall be their shepherd. {24} And I, Jehovah, will be their God, and my servant David prince among them; I, Jehovah, have spoken it.

{Zec.13:7} Awake, O sword, against my shepherd, and against the man that is my fellow, saith Jehovah of hosts: smite the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered; and I will turn my hand upon the little ones. {8} And it shall come to pass, that in all the land, saith Jehovah, two parts therein shall be cut off and die; but the third shall be left therein. {9} And I will bring the third part into the fire, and will refine them as silver is refined, and will try them as gold is tried. They shall call on my name, and I will hear them: I will say, It is my people; and they shall say, Jehovah is my God. (Jesus agreed with this for the New Testament. In the parable of the sower in Matthew 13, the first part heard but was never saved. The second and third part died, so two parts were cut off of the olive tree and died. The fourth part brought forth fruit, "Some a hundredfold, some sixty, and some thirty" -- Matthew 13:18-23.)

{Mal.4:1} For, behold, the day cometh, it burneth as a furnace; and all the proud, and all that work wickedness, shall be stubble; and the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith Jehovah of hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch. (When the roots are cut it doesn't grow back) {2} But unto you that fear my name shall the sun of righteousness arise with healing in its wings; and ye shall go forth, and gambol as calves of the stall. {3} And ye shall tread down the wicked; for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet in the day that I make, saith Jehovah of hosts.

Then there was a second scene in the dream and I saw on my picnic table on my porch a colored-foiled chocolate candy I was reaching for and when I unwrapped it, a snake jumped out and I immediately threw it down. Then that's it. End of dream. (Obey the words of God above and do not unwrap the package, no matter how sweet it looks. Do not listen or read the emails of these wicked trappers. {Pro.20:17} Bread of falsehood is sweet to a man; But afterwards his mouth shall be filled with gravel. {23:8} The morsel which thou hast eaten shalt thou vomit up, And lose thy sweet words.

What is the purpose of this purging by slander from God's perspective? To separate the sheep from the goats and give the sheep a chance in the wilderness tribulation. To humble the proud and then bring them to repentance. To purify the Man-child ministry through crucifixion.

What is the purpose of this slander war from Satan's perspective? It is to separate the Woman from the Man-child before they escape into the wilderness. It is the Dragon's attempt to "devour the Man-child" with words and bring disrepute to his teachings. {Psa.52:4} Thou lovest all devouring words, O thou deceitful tongue. In a vision concerning this, I saw a dragon entering the rear of our spiritual house. He was speaking lies to draw away the woman and destroy me. I heard a voice saying, "David, the dragon has sent the ink-lies against you".

See also Flood of the Dragon's Delusion. Brethren, listen carefully: In the beginning of this flood of "strong delusion", which has begun, the Dragon forces of apostates go after the Man-child ministry in order to discredit them, in effect taking out the Woman's leadership in order to capture her. Joseph, a type of the Man-child, was hated by his brothers and they attempted to kill him. David, a type of the Man-child, was hated by the Saul ministry and he tried to kill him. Jesus, the Man-child of His day, was hated by his brothers who put him to death. The Man-child of our day is hated by his brothers who will spiritually put him to death. But God saves the Man-child with the throne anointing of the latter rain so that He may lead the remnant Woman into the wilderness to be taught of God. {Rev.12:4} And his tail [the Dragon's tail, the prophet that teacheth lies, he is the tail {Isaiah 9:15}] draweth the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth [these ministers of Satan, "fashion themselves as ministers of righteousness" and are teaching lies and causing a great falling away]: and the dragon standeth before the woman that is about to be delivered, that when she is delivered he may devour her child. (Devouring is done with the mouth and evil words.) {5} And she was delivered of a son, a man-child, who is to rule all the nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and unto his throne. {6} And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that there they [the Man-child] may nourish her a thousand two hundred and threescore days [the first 31/2 years of tribulation].

The secondary leg of this attack has been to go after the Woman with apostates and their flood of lies to discredit and separate Her from the Man-child ministry unto the Dragon's false ministry. This was just as the Pharisees and their minions tried to discredit Jesus and capture His followers. Notice now the Man-child and Woman are persecuted before going into the wilderness. {13} And when the dragon saw that he was cast down to the earth, he persecuted the woman that brought forth the man [child]. {14} And there were given to the woman the two wings of the great eagle [Jesus in the Man-child ministry], that she might fly into the wilderness unto her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time [the first 3 1/2 years], from the face of the serpent. So this is happening now before the trib. {15} And the serpent (the Dragon Beast) cast out of his mouth after the woman water as a river, that he might cause her to be carried away by the stream. The flood of the Red Sea and Pharoah's army came after the Woman but only their own kind were taken out. {16} And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened her mouth and swallowed up the river which the dragon cast out of his mouth. The Woman Church will be tested with every false spirit and lying doctrine through apostates but only the earthly harlot Church will buy [swallow] it. This will be a sign to the Woman that it is all an evil delusion. {17:15} And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the harlot sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues.

Goats Leave the Bride Kingdom
Belinda Anderson - 05/04/2013
(David's notes in red)

I had a dream with my husband, Allen, in it. (I looked up the name Allen and it means: harmony, stone, noble, fair or handsome.) Allen and I were standing a good distance away from a couple of groups of people and we could hear them discussing something among themselves in the distance and there was much arguing and loud speech coming from the group on the left. My husband said, "Let's go see what's going on and see if we can help" (sharing the truth of the word and making peace among the brethren). I felt hesitant to go (having discernment in my spirit) but I obeyed my husband. As we got closer, we could see that the group on the left was made up of all men and they were arguing and raising their voices at one another. (Division coming among those on the left who live as rebellious goats.) The other group was made up of all women and they were listening to the men, so my husband went over to the group of men to speak with them and I went over to the group of women to speak with them.

I greeted the women with a smile but they gave me frowns in return, so I asked them what was wrong. One of the women spoke up and said to me, "What do you mean what's wrong? Look around you! There's nothing here; this place is as a wilderness and we're all sick of it and we want to leave!" Oh! So the arguments were about leaving the wilderness. (They had escaped the Beast of Egypt but were ready to go back to the flesh pots and live in bondage to the man of flesh.) {Num.11:1} And the people were as murmurers, speaking evil in the ears of Jehovah: and when Jehovah heard it, his anger was kindled; and the fire of Jehovah burnt among them, and devoured in the uttermost part of the camp. (These murmurers spake evil of Moses and railed at him until the Lord judged them.) This woman became agitated with me for asking what she thought was a stupid question. Another woman spoke up and said to me, "We have to leave here or we will die here". I said to her, "That's the whole point! Be patient; we just got here. God brought us here to die, not physically but to die to self. He has some wonderful things planned for us". {Psa.40:5} Many, O Jehovah my God, are the wonderful works which thou hast done, And thy thoughts which are to us-ward; They cannot be set in order unto thee; If I would declare and speak of them, They are more than can be numbered. {Mat.16:25} For whosoever would save his life shall lose it: and whosoever shall lose his life for my sake shall find it. {Rom.12:12} rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing stedfastly in prayer.

We must trust God that He will provide for us because that's what His Word says, but if we don't believe Him, then we don't have a right to the promises! I said, "Can't you see the very dangerous mistakes you are making by complaining and wanting to leave?" {Isa.43:19} Behold, I will do a new thing; now shall it spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert. (20) The beasts of the field shall honor me, the jackals and the ostriches; because I give waters in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert, to give drink to my people, my chosen, (21) the people which I formed for myself, that they might set forth my praise. I understood why we were there and I was so happy to be chosen to be there; to me it was a blessing and not a curse. In my heart I couldn't understand why these people couldn't see as I could see, then I realized they had not prepared and they had no faith for the wilderness. (The wilderness is where the people walk by faith and obedience to God's Word. The murmurers are going back to walk in the foolishness of the flesh even now.)

Well, they became angry with me; they didn't want to listen to reason. I tried one last time to say to them, "If you leave, where on earth would you go"? They replied, "It doesn't matter; we just have to leave here at all cost!" (The fleshly do not want to die through obedience to the Word. Their flesh and their demons drive them out of the camp of the restful.) {Mat.13:3} And he spake to them many things in parables, saying, Behold, the sower went forth to sow; (4) and as he sowed, some seeds fell by the way side, and the birds came and devoured them: (5) and others fell upon the rocky places, where they had not much earth: and straightway they sprang up, because they had no deepness of earth: (6) and when the sun was risen, they were scorched; and because they had no root, they withered away. (7) And others fell upon the thorns; and the thorns grew up and choked them: (8) and others fell upon the good ground, and yielded fruit, some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty. Then as they were walking away from me one of them said, "Stay if you want to but stop trying to tell us what to do". I was very sad as they were walking away; they couldn't hear the Word of God anymore; they no longer had any trust for the word, love for the word or obedience to the Word. I knew at that point it was useless to say anything else, so I went over and sat down on a nearby rock (resting on the promises of Jesus) and began to pray for them. I sat with my chin resting on my knees, like I did sometimes as a small child (resting and trusting in Jesus as a child). {Mar.10:15} Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, he shall in no wise enter therein.

(This brought to my remembrance an experience I had back in my childhood on the farm in southern Indiana. I loved to take long walks in the woods. I was about a mile or so back in the woods and I came across a tree and on the tree someone had nailed a sign that read, "Happy Waters". {Eph.5:26} that he might sanctify it, having cleansed it by the washing of water with the word. This reminds me of Jesus, the "Word made flesh" being nailed on the cross to take away our sins. {Col.2:14} having blotted out the bond written in ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us: and he hath taken it out that way, nailing it to the cross. I thought to myself, "Wow! I wonder who put that there", as I was so far into the woods. Then just a little ways from the tree was a small ravine, so I went and looked over the edge and there was a bathtub down there. I thought, "Wow! Now who would want to drag a bathtub into the middle of the woods?" (Cleansing of the man of flesh will come in the wilderness.) {Isa.40:3} The voice of one that crieth, Prepare ye in the wilderness the way of Jehovah; make level in the desert a highway for our God. (4) Every valley shall be exalted, and every mountain and hill shall be made low; and the uneven shall be made level, and the rough places a plain.

So I stood there pondering that for a moment, just amazed that someone would do that and decided to look around a little further to see if anything else was there. Sure enough, just through the trees I could see a small clearing, so I walked toward the clearing and just as I came out of the trees, there stood a "lookout tower" made out of logs. (This made me think about the tower David Eells saw in his dream that the Lord showed him was made up of the true saints knitted together in unity.) WOW! I thought to myself, "Now who would want to build a lookout tower in the middle of the woods like this?" {2Ch.26:10} And he built towers in the wilderness, and hewed out many cisterns, for he had much cattle; in the lowland also, and in the plain: and he had husbandmen and vinedressers in the mountains and in the fruitful fields; for he loved husbandry. (The tower is Zion the Bride, whom the Lord is building in the wilderness. {Mic.4:1} But in the latter days it shall come to pass, that the mountain of Jehovah's house shall be established on the top of the mountains (God's Kingdom will be above man's kingdoms), and it shall be exalted above the hills; and peoples shall flow unto it. {2} And many nations shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of Jehovah, and to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths. For out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of Jehovah from Jerusalem... {7} and I will make that which was lame a remnant, and that which was cast far off a strong nation: and Jehovah will reign over them in mount Zion from henceforth even for ever. {8} And thou, O tower of the flock, the hill of the daughter of Zion, unto thee shall it come, yea, the former dominion shall come, the kingdom of the daughter of Jerusalem.

I was just amazed at all of this. I was never afraid of heights, so I couldn't resist climbing up that tower; it was about 30 feet up and I climbed all the way to the top (all the way to the top of the hill, Mt. Zion). (The Bride will climb Zion in the wilderness into the presence of the Lord.) This was such a special place for me. {Oba.17} But in mount Zion there shall be those that escape, and it shall be holy; and the house of Jacob shall possess their possessions. I would come to this place and read for hours; it was such a peaceful place. {Psa.4:8} In peace will I both lay me down and sleep; For thou, Jehovah, alone makest me dwell in safety. Later I discovered that the Boy Scouts (representing the Man-child) had built that tower and they had campouts there. As a child, I loved playing in the woods and I always felt such peace and tranquility there and I had a good sense of direction and never got lost. {Isa.26:3} Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee; because he trusteth in thee. I believe the Lord has been preparing me from childhood to embrace the wilderness, as it is a place of peace and love and miracles. Thank You, Lord!

As I was sitting upon the rock and praying for these women, my husband came over to join me and told me the people had decided to leave. {Gal.4:9} but now that ye have come to know God, or rather to be known by God, how turn ye back again to the weak and beggarly rudiments, whereunto ye desire to be in bondage over again? I told him what the women had said to me and he told me the men said the same thing to him and that they wouldn't listen to sound reason and they got angry with him and asked him to leave, so he did. {2Ti.4:3} For the time will come when they will not endure the sound doctrine; but, having itching ears, will heap to themselves teachers after their own lusts; (4) and will turn away their ears from the truth, and turn aside unto fables.

It was sad watching them go, as they had no plan as to where they were going; they just decided to go! It made no sense to just go and to where and to what? (They are driven from the boat.) Why can't they understand that makes absolutely no sense and it's so dangerous? {Pro.3:5} Trust in Jehovah with all thy heart, And lean not upon thine own understanding: (6) In all thy ways acknowledge him, And he will direct thy paths. {Mat.24:13} But he that endureth to the end, the same shall be saved.

All of a sudden, I looked up and in the distance I saw a small group returning. I reached out and grabbed my husband's arm and said, "Look! Look! Some have changed their minds (repented) and are returning! Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord! They won't all be lost! Isn't that wonderful?!" {Rom.12:2} And be not fashioned according to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, and ye may prove what is the good and acceptable and perfect will of God. Then I woke up from the dream.

A Remnant Shall Return

Most of those who return are the innocent who were deceived in order to humble them, as it was with Peter and not the deceivers like Judas. If you think the innocent cannot be deceived, read Romans 16:17,18; they "beguile the hearts of the innocent".

{Isa.10:20} And it shall come to pass in that day, that the remnant of Israel, and they that are escaped of the house of Jacob, shall no more again lean upon him that smote them, but shall lean upon Jehovah, the Holy One of Israel, in truth. {21} A remnant shall return, [even] the remnant of Jacob, unto the mighty God. {22} For though thy people, Israel, be as the sand of the sea, [only] a remnant of them shall return: a destruction [is] determined, overflowing with righteousness.

{Jer.44:13} For I will punish them that dwell in the land of Egypt, as I have punished Jerusalem, by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence; {14} so that none of the remnant of Judah, that are gone into the land of Egypt to sojourn there, shall escape or be left, to return into the land of Judah, to which they have a desire to return to dwell there: for none shall return save such as shall escape.

{Mic.5:1} Now shalt thou gather thyself in troops, O daughter of troops: he hath laid siege against us; they shall smite the judge of Israel with a rod upon the cheek. {2} But thou, Beth-lehem Ephrathah, which art little to be among the thousands of Judah, out of thee shall one come forth unto me that is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth are from of old, from everlasting. {3} Therefore will he give them up, until the time that she who travaileth hath brought forth: then the residue of his brethren shall return unto the children of Israel. {4} And he shall stand, and shall feed [his flock] in the strength of Jehovah, in the majesty of the name of Jehovah his God: and they shall abide; for now shall he be great unto the ends of the earth. {5} And this [man] shall be [our] peace. When the Assyrian shall come into our land, and when he shall tread in our palaces, then shall we raise against him seven shepherds, and eight principal men. {6} And they shall waste the land of Assyria with the sword, and the land of Nimrod in the entrances thereof: and he shall deliver us from the Assyrian, when he cometh into our land, and when he treadeth within our border. {7} And the remnant of Jacob shall be in the midst of many peoples as dew from Jehovah, as showers upon the grass, that tarry not for man, nor wait for the sons of men. {8} And the remnant of Jacob shall be among the nations, in the midst of many peoples, as a lion among the beasts of the forest, as a young lion among the flocks of sheep; who, if he go through, treadeth down and teareth in pieces, and there is none to deliver.
