I had another wonderful weekend retreat, teaching the Scriptures to 18 precious women in McCall, Idaho. We again "restored the altar of Yahweh" by taking 12 field stones, writing the names of the 12 tribes of Israel on them, and piling them up to mark the place. Just as in 1 Kings 18, when Elijah did this on Mt. Carmel, we were confronting the modern-day "prophets of Ba'al" - the rulers, principalities and authorities of this dark world - and proclaiming, "Yahweh - He is God! Yahweh - He is God!"
It is good to restore the altar of God, which is in ruins after the killing of millions of unborn babies, the performing of thousands of same-sex marriages, and the greed and lust of corporations and executives that has caused our economic collapse. But now what? As the reality of a recession sinks in and families struggle to make ends meet, where do we turn for help? How do we find some peace, with hurricanes, wildfires, tornadoes, and threats of war surrounding us? How do we keep filling our tanks with gas to get to work, and how do we keep food on the table for our families? Are we really being "rescued" by the Bail-out plans? Well, as the apostle Paul was fond of saying, "By no means!"
There is really only one Bail-out Plan, and this plan will never fail us. The signs that our Messiah Yeshua gave us in Matthew 24 are all here, but the best news is that this means HE IS COMING SOON! As the G7 governments meet to establish a New World Order system of global finance, we can keep our eyes riveted upon the one Bail-Out plan that will overcome ALL plans, all governments, all "roadmaps to peace." Our Prince of Peace, the Sar Shalom, will return for His faithful, those who have overcome by keeping His commands and believing in the atonement of His blood. Of these the following is written in Revelation 7:13-17. Let us pray to be one of these overcomers, not looking to the world for help, but trusting only in the REAL Bail-Out Plan!
Then one of the elders asked me, "These in white robes—who are they, and where did they come from?"
I answered, "Sir, you know."
And he said, "These are they who have come out of the great tribulation; they have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. Therefore they are before the throne of God and serve him day and night in his temple; and He who sits on the throne will spread his tent over them. Never again will they hunger; never again will they thirst. The sun will not beat upon them, nor any scorching heat. For the Lamb at the center of the throne will be their shepherd; He will lead them to springs of living water. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes."
