The Indignation

20 Come, my people, enter thou into thy chambers, and shut thy doorsabout thee: hide thyself as it were for a little moment, until the indignation be overpast.
21 For, behold, the LORD cometh out of his place to punish theinhabitants of the earth for their iniquity: the earth also shall disclose her blood, and shall no more cover her slain. (KJV) Isaiah 26:20-21
This is the place I found myself at the end of HORSEMEN prophecy.
To say I have not faired too well the last week is an understatement. Seems like the key word is “indignation”. The question is whose? My answer is ADONAI ZABAOTH’S because of HIS own WORDS to me in the Valley called Gehennah. Call it a no brainer on my part. Early this morning I once again stood at the GATE of GOSHEN. For those of us in South Florida this is “THE CHAMBER”. In my spirit I was in that place and kept building on it. Psalm 32….
Selah. 5 I acknowledged my sin unto thee, and mine iniquity have I not hid. I said, I will confess my transgressions unto the LORD; and thou forgavest the iniquity of my sin.
Selah. 6 For this shall every one that is godly pray unto thee in a time when thou mayest be found: surely in the floods of great waters they shall not come nigh unto him.
7 Thou art my hiding place; thou shalt preserve me from trouble; thou shalt compass me about with songs of deliverance.
Selah. 8 I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with mine eye.
Got all 3 selahs in there….and I went to service and intercessory prayer with…
Psalm 141:1-10
1 A Psalm of David. LORD, I cry unto thee: make haste unto me; give ear unto my voice, when I cry unto thee.
2 Let my prayer be set forth before thee as incense; and the lifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice.
3 Set a watch, O LORD, before my mouth; keep the door of my lips.
4 Incline not my heart to any evil thing, to practise wicked works with men that work iniquity: and let me not eat of their dainties.
5 Let the righteous smite me; it shall be a kindness: and let him reprove me; it shall be an excellent oil, which shall not break my head: for yet my prayer also shall be in their calamities.
6 When their judges are overthrown in stony places, they shall hear my words; for they are sweet.
7 Our bones are scattered at the grave’s mouth, as when one cutteth and cleaveth wood upon the earth.
8 But mine eyes are unto thee, O GOD the Lord: in thee is my trust; leave not my soul destitute.
9 Keep me from the snares which they have laid for me, and the gins of the workers of iniquity.
10 Let the wicked fall into their own nets, whilst that I withal escape. (KJV)
So, when I was in group prayer I was taken back by the WORD the MOST HIGH leveled me with….
8 And David was displeased, because the LORD had made a breach upon Uzzah: and he called the name of the place Perezuzzah to this day.
Perezuzzah….a great place for your Christmas Pageant….and suddenly I was again dealing with the INDIGNATION of a HOLY…HOLY…HOLY…GOD. How do I understand the breaking out with my ‘hiding place’. And, I grieved for HIS WORD, was heavy, and I did not understand. So I asked for wisdom and understanding how this incident was playing out in the place I stood, and for my nation.
I CRIED OUT IN MY DISTRESS…..AND HE ANSWERED ME…..
That is HIS WORD….and HIS PROMISE….here is the answer….SELAH….
MY BELOVED SEEKS TO TAKE THE ARK OF MY GLORY TO ZION WHERE IT BELONGS. IT HAD BEEN TAKEN OUT OF SHILOH BY LEVITES WHO HAD A GOOD
INTENTION, BUT WERE NO RESPECTORS OF MY INSTRUCTIONS. SO THE SONS OF
ELI DIED AS THEY LIVED, DOING WHAT WAS RIGHT IN THEIR OWN EYES. WHEN
DAVID WENT TO RETURN THE ARK OF MY COVENANT WITH HIS PEOPLE HE
WENT TO THE PRIESTS, LEVITES AND THE PARADE WAS SET UP. THE CART AND OXEN WERE THE FINEST DAVID COULD PROCURE. WHAT HE DID NOT DO WAS TO SEEK MY WAYS.
DAVID, LIKE ALL MY BELOVEDS, HAVE MADE A GRAVE MISTAKE. THEY TRUSTED THAT THOSE WHO CALL THEMSELVES MY PRIESTS KNEW MY WAYS.
AHIO AND UZZAH WERE THE SONS OF ABINADAB. THE SONS OF THE HIGH
PRIEST. LIKE THE SONS OF LEVI THEY SHOULD HAVE KNOWN MY LAWS AND
FEARED ME. HOPHNI AND PHINNIAS SINNED WANTONLY AND MY GLORY DEPARTED. UZZAH SINNED IN PRESUMPTION. ALL DIED FOR THEIR SINS. SO WILL IT NOW AGAIN BE.
MANY WHO DO WHAT IS RIGHT IN THEIR OWN EYES WITHOUT REGARD OF MY
WAYS, WHO SCORN MY WORD, AND HAVE NO FEAR OF MY NAME SHALL BE DESTROYED. SOME AS THE SONS OF ELI, OTHERS AS UZZAH. THEY KNOW NOT THEIR PLACE AND TAKE UPON THEMSELVES MY INDIGNATION.
BUT YOU BELOVED, FEAR NOT, NOR LET YOUR ANGER BE FOOLISHLY KINDLED
WHEN I DO WHAT I HAVE SAID I WOULD DO. I SING TO YOU SONGS OF DELIVERANCE. I HAVE PREPARED A PLACE OF SAFETY FOR YOU. YET YOU MUST BE IN THAT PLACE. ABIDE IN THE CLOSET SECRET BETWEEN YOU AND ME.
WHERE IS IT SAFEST YOU MIGHT ASK? AND I TELL YOU THE SAFEST PLACE IS UNDER THE CLOUD OF MY GLORY. THE SAFEST PLACE IS YOUR STANDING WITH THE STAVES OF MY ARK RESTING ON YOUR SHOULDERS.
YOU AND THOSE I HAVE ANOINTED AND SANCTIFIED TO CARRY MY GLORY THROUGH THE WILDERNESS, THROUGH THE WATERS, AND YES, THROUGH THE FIRES THAT ARE AHEAD FOR YOU. YOU SHALL BE IN THE APPLE OF MY EYE AS YOU LEAD MY CHILDREN OUT OF BONDAGE AND INTO THE LAND PROMISED.
FEW PREPARED THEMSELVES FOR THIS POSITION…TO STRAIN AND CARRY AS MY CHILDREN DANCE. BUT I SEPARATED YOU TO MYSELF FOR SERVICE. NOW IS THE TIME OF YOUR TRUE SERVICE UNTO ME.
Seek the LORD while HE may be found….seems there is a time limit…ask David.
