I SHALL RAISE UP MY EYES

WHEN IT COMES TO ISRAEL ... TIMING IS EVERYTHING. 

Yesterday was the 10th of Nisan on the Hebrew Calendar!  Tonight is Shabbat HaGadol ("The Great Shabbat" שבת הגדול), the Shabbat immediately before the Passover. 

The first Shabbat HaGadol took place in Egypt on the 10th day of the first month, the month of Nisan. The first Great Shabbat was five (5) days before the Passover and the start of the Israelite Exodus from Egypt. 

FIVE IS A SIGN

The letter Hei (5) appears twice in the unspoken name of God, YHVH, (10, 5, 6, 5 = 26).  This is what 5 (Hei) looked like in ancient Hebrew before the Torah was written. It was a man with outstretched Arms, like Moses when the Joshua battled the Amalakites.  

"So Moses said to Joshua, Pick men for us, and go out and fight against Amalek. Tomorrow I will stand on top of the hill with the staff of God in my hand." Exodus 17.9

Israel is battling the Spirit of Amalek again! 

The Hand, Outstretched Arms, the Nail

Hei (5) is associated with Revelation. God revealed himself with Moses during the battle with the Amalakites. As you can see, Hei (5) appears twice. 5+5=10 (Yod). Ten is also viewed as a complete and perfect numeral. In the image above, the Arm/Hand of God appears before the first Hei (5). It appears again before 6, the symbol of a nail. 

Israel's mission began with the Great Shabbat. God told the Children of Israel to select the lamb for their household five days before the Passover. On the Passover the Israelites would shed the blood of their lamb and spread it's blood on their doorposts. 

The destroyer passed over homes with the protection of the blood of their lamb. The Israelites were "chosen" for a mission. On the Passover God instructed us to rush through the door opening. The nation was born and we left Egypt for the Promised Land. 

I've gotten ahead of the story. It isn't quite time for hagadah (the telling). The Passover isn't here yet! Its not the hour  The destroyer hasn't arrived yet. The Exodus hasn't begun yet. But God is calling. Come! BA! (Hebrew בא)

ON AYATOLLAH ALI KHAMENEI'S 85TH BIRTHDAY

Israel delivered his birthday present, but the evil Ayatollah didn't get what he wished for.  Instead, Israel gave him what he deserved. The 9th plague, darkness. is striking Iran. Israel delivered what leader's described as a "limited Israeli response."  

The Ayatollah says Israel will be completely destroyed if Israel responds to it's attack. Iran's President Ebrahim Raisi threatened Israel, "If they do a tiniest invasion against our territory, they should be assured that they will face a massive and harsh response."

Clearly Iran's leaders do not appreciate the blood of the lamb that protects Israel from the "destroyer."  The Light is coming. BA (בא)!

THE GREATER THUNDER IS TO COME! BA!

FORCES OF DESTRUCTION WILL SOON PASSOVER.
THEN, A LULLING SENSE OF PEACE ON THE CHESOD OF YESOD. 
GREATER THUNDER IS TO COME!! BA!! בא
20 IYAR
GREATER THUNDER IS TO COME!!! BA!!! בא
6 SIVAN 
GOD IS SAYING בא COME!!!

PSALM 121

A song for ascents. I shall raise my eyes to the mountains, from where will my help come?

My help is from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth.

He will not allow your foot to falter; Your Guardian will not slumber.

Behold the Guardian of Israel will neither slumber nor sleep.

The Lord is your Guardian; the Lord is your shadow; [He is] by your right hand.

By day, the sun will not smite you, nor will the moon at night.

The Lord will guard you from all evil; He will guard your soul.

The Lord will guard your going out and your coming in from now and to eternity.

RAISE UP YOUR EYES -- AM ISRAEL CHAI

2 Chronicles 20:26 

And on the fourth day they assembled themselves in the valley of Berachah; for there they blessed the Lord: therefore the name of the same place was called, The valley of Berachah, unto this day.
