He Will Raise Us Up

Hosea 6:2

After two days will He revive us: in the third day He will raise us up, and we shall live in His sight.

Here is a picture of the coming resurrection. The Lord Jesus was two days in hell before He led captivity captive. He was raised up on the third day. Since the cross it has been two thousand years, which is as two days to the LORD. During this time He has purposed to revive humanity. Now we are in the third day when He will raise up mankind. Make straight paths for your feet, He is even at the door. The time is at hand when the faithful shall live in His sight for eternity, even as He purposed from the foundation of the world.

He Will Heal Us

Hosea 6:1

Come, and let us return unto the LORD: for He hath torn, and He will heal us; He hath smitten, and He will bind us up.

The LORD corrects according to His ways of judgment: righteously, and always on the side of His truth. There are no grey areas with God, only unbelief by men. Consider this: if one ignores God’s law of gravity and steps off a cliff, there are consequences. So when this passage describes tearing and smiting, this is His faithfulness to His judgment. When it describes healing and binding up of wounds, it is His abundant mercy when we return to Him.

Dividing (and Divided By) the Word

2 Timothy 2:15

Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

Studying the word of truth is far more than being diligent to read the Bible. To be approved by God, we must let His Word divide us while we are dividing the word. By the anointing of the Living Word, the Holy Spirit places His seal of approval on our spirits, and we become well pleasing to the Father of spirits. There will never be a greater reward than to stand before Him and hear, “Well done, thou good and faithful servant!”

Gleaning Grapes

Isaiah 17:6

Yet gleaning grapes shall be left in it, as the shaking of an olive tree, two or three berries in the top of the uppermost bough, four or five in the outmost fruitful branches thereof, saith the LORD God of Israel.

Isaiah 24:13

When thus it shall be in the midst of the land among the people, there shall be as the shaking of an olive tree, and as the gleaning grapes when the vintage is done.

The day will come, and seems to be approaching sooner rather than later, that Damascus will be a ruinous heap. Yet the LORD has promised to gather up the select remnant in Syria and all the nations: the chosen and faithful gleaning grapes among the called. Persecuted believers around the world: Take heart! He is ever faithful to hold onto those who are His, and none will be plucked from His hand. The vintage is nearly done. The winepress is nearly filled with the grapes of wrath in preparation for the Treader. This ministry is fulfilling the calling to walk, watch, and warn. As it is written,

Luke 21:36

Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.

From the Four Winds

Matthew 24:31

And He shall send His angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together His elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.

   When the Lord descends from His throne to gather His elect, He will come with a shout; with the voice of the archangel; and with the trump of God. The sound of the trumpet will direct His holy angels to execute the rapture: in a glorious victorious lightning flash iota of time. He will gather believers from the four winds: the four corners of the earth. He will gather the dead and the living elect from the four winds: the four great kingdoms of the fallen world system. He shall gather all saints prior to the tribulation from the four winds: the four dark spiritual principalities that will rise up from the river Euphrates. He will gather His witnesses from the four winds: from the four corners of mankind where He scattered them like seed in the soil of mankind, sown to cause the wheat of His harvest to spring up in His time. First the blade, then the ear, then the full corn in the ear. Be sober. Be vigilant. Be diligent. The time of the full corn in the ear is upon us, from the four winds; we know not how.
