Back to: Two Battles Same Sword
Famine and Sword
March 28, 2000:
Sometimes the way THE MOST HOLY SPIRIT gets a point across can be painfully subtle. For years you read the same scripture passage over and over and nothing stands out, nothing grabs your attention. Then one day you read a part of a verse and out of “nowhere” some words suddenly come to life and an “image” is formed. To compound it a memory flow kicks in and similar verses come flowing in and you find yourself looking at an “ISSUE” THE WORD OF GOD had described long ago and established for all to see and to learn of/ from. As the sudden “flow” of THE MOST HOLY SPIRIT picks you up and carries you wherever HE has chosen to take you I have found myself with two thoughts. First is why? The second is where? The first is simple….WHY had I never “seen” this before?…..and why had no one ever pointed it out to me. The simple answer is GOD does not do things as we do. HE uses men for HIS GLORY and is clearly jealous concerning HIS GLORY. No one “saw” it because it was not yet “time” or just maybe GOD KNEW if man received it and in obedience shared it, others would pick it up, and run with it. Rewrite it, Claim it for there own, Copyright it and Franchise it and Pocket it for themselves.
GOD does not like to be cheated or mocked. The fact that man believes he can “con” a HOLY GOD and “manipulate” GOD to serve the man shows us that there is little or no “FEAR OF THE LORD” among the professional ”religious”/ “spiritual” that rule the churches today. I guess that is why for 4000 or so years THE WORD has warned us that “HE COME WITH A SWORD…”. The problem is that THE WORD usually goes into clearly defined detail with exactly what HE WILL DO WITH THAT SWORD. That fact takes me to the “second thought”….WHERE is HE taking me with this? What this old dog has learned is that the “journey” itself is as important as the “destination” intended. So with a little explanation I have set a foundation for those whose “spiritual” “eyes” and
“ears” are open to what THE SPIRIT OF THE LIVING AND HOLY GOD is saying to HIS CHURCHES today. One of the funny things is that we are not in a vacuum. We are being “fitted together”….”assembled”….as the author of HEBREWS wrote in 10:25….only GOD WHO IS SOVEREIGN is putting the pieces together. The present journey I am on has been given a push by the WORDS given to and through a number of saints. Bill Burns of Kremmling, CO and Harley Hickling of Virginia are two in particular. But it was John L Moore of the mountains that ABBA used to jump start me and send me on this present rollercoaster ride. Just don’t blame them for my white knuckles and queezzzzzyyyy feeling I am working through.
You see, ABBA has the desire to warn people. HE IS FAITHFUL. HE USES images, patterns, and sequences over and over in HIS WORD. HE IS THE SAME….AND HE IS ETERNAL….AND HE IS HOLY. So with the awareness that HIS WARNINGS ARE
RARELY HEEDED I will do my best to state what I am hearing and seeing. And pray THE REMNANT will receive. FAMINE AND SWORD….. Throughout America our “religious leaders” and “professional seers” have been preaching and prophesying REVIVAL and PROSPERITY to a land once blessed and obedient to GOD….to a degree. Like ancient Israel we were brought into “the land” for the right reasons….and for seasons were a GODLY NATION. FEARED GOD…prayed…sent THE GOSPEL out to the farthest corners of the world. But we were not perfect. We sinned and occasionally repented. But somewhere along the line the NATION got caught up with Babylonian “things” and lost sight of our GOD and our heritage. JESUS referred to HIS contemporary “religious institution” as “whited sepulchers”. Bryan Hupperts recently had a fine commentary about “whitewash”….find it and read it along with Matthew 23. And while you read the RED LETTERS count the “WOES”…. JESUS speaks clearly….and HE ONLY SPOKE WHAT HE HEARD HIS FATHER SAY…..and it would make a whole lot of sense if we keep HIS WORDS in the context that they were given. If we keep everything in strict context there is no way we can miss the meaning that HE wants to get across…..so it seems ABBA is none too happy with mocking and rebellious children. Isaiah 30 delineates that most clearly. Many have spoken of THE FAMINE IN THE LAND. Amos 8 describes the whole scenario intensely.
Amos 8:11-14
11 Behold, the days come, saith the Lord God, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the Lord:
12 And they shall wander from sea to sea, and from the north even to the east, they shall run to and fro to seek the word of the Lord, and shall not find it.
13 In that day shall the fair virgins and young men faint for thirst.
14 They that swear by the sin of Samaria, and say, Thy god, O Dan, liveth; and, The manner of Beersheba liveth; even they shall fall, and never rise up again. (KJV)
There is no way anyone can miss the fact that GOD sends the famine. Nor can we miss the fact that it is a “spiritual famine”. Likewise we can not ignore what it does…people are running “to and fro” looking for “the word” and are not finding it. Now verse 14 is interesting…they swear “by the sin of Samaria”. GOD says it so it must mean something. 2Kings 13 mentions the sins of the house of Jeroboam and the grove also in Samaria…..
6Nevertheless they departed not from the sins of the house of Jeroboam, who made
Israel sin, but walked therein: and there remained the grove also in Samaria.)
Now Jesus dealt with the issue briefly when having a theological debate with the woman at the well. The issue is simple, GOD said worship ME in Jerusalem. The sin of Samaria was/ is worshipping man’s way in man’s designated places, like the groves. What we have are other gods…spiritual adultery. In Amos there is a penalty. “even they shall fall, and never rise up again.” is not an endorsement for “revival”. Nor is what
GOD tells us in AMOS 9:1-7
1 I saw the Lord standing upon the altar: and he said, Smite the lintel of the door, that the posts may shake: and cut them in the head, all of them; and I will slay the last of them with the sword: he that fleeth of them shall not flee away, and he that escapeth of them shall not be delivered.
2 Though they dig into hell, thence shall mine hand take them; though they climb up to heaven, thence will I bring them down:
3 And though they hide themselves in the top of Carmel, I will search and take them out thence; and though they be hid from my sight in the bottom of the sea, thence will I command the serpent, and he shall bite them:
4 And though they go into captivity before their enemies, thence will I command the sword, and it shall slay them: and I will set mine eyes upon them for evil, and not for good.
5 And the Lord God of hosts is he that toucheth the land, and it shall melt, and all that dwell therein shall mourn: and it shall rise up wholly like a flood; and shall be drowned, as by the flood of Egypt.
6 It is he that buildeth his stories in the heaven, and hath founded his troop in the earth; he that calleth for the waters of the sea, and poureth them out upon the face of the earth: The Lord is his name.
7 Are ye not as children of the Ethiopians unto me, O children of Israel? saith the Lord. Have not I brought up Israel out of the land of Egypt? and the Philistines from Caphtor, and the Syrians from Kir? (KJV)
GOD says something very intense….”and HE said, “Smite the lintel of the door, that the posts may shake: and cut them in the head, all of them; and I will slay the last of them with the sword: he that fleeth of them shall not flee away, and he that escapeth of them shall not be delivered”.
So if KING JESUS is coming with A SWORD…and HE SAYS HE IS…there is no place to hide and no place to run if you are being targeted for destruction. Moving from the famine in Chapter 8 through THE SWORD at the beginning of Chapter 9 there is a set stage of events that end in one of the great PROPHECIES of all the scripture. THE
RESTORATION OF THE TABERNACLE OF DAVID………Amos 9:11-12
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 his ruins, and I will build it as in the days of old:
12 That they may possess the remnant of Edom, and of all the heathen, which are called by my name, saith the Lord that doeth this. (KJV)
On 3/ 12/ 2000 Bill Burns sent forth this WORD….Prophetic Utterance through Bill Burns:
March 26, 2000: I am looking over all the land, for it is written that I will raise up the tabernacle of David, and I shall establish it in the hearts of those who desire to become mighty men. Not only am I speaking that forth through My word and by My word, for it has already been established in My word, but My eyes are running to and fro and I am looking for the priests who will go and bring back the ark of My covenant, and they shall carry it upon their shoulders. There shall be no ox carts for them, for they shall cast aside the ox carts of religion and tradition and shall lift upon their own shoulders the ark of My covenant and carry it forth into My house. There between the cherubim I shall reveal My glory to My people, to My anointed ones, My David’s that I am now calling forth from the whole earth. I am calling from the depth of My heart to the depth of your heart. Will you take up the ark? Will you be a priest in My house? Will you place it upon your shoulders and walk in covenant with Me? Surely if you walk in covenant with Me, you shall receive the benefits, and that which is hidden within it shall become yours. The written word of My promise shall become yours. The revelation of the golden pot of manna shall become yours. The authority of the priesthood shall bud and flower and bring forth fruit, for this is My purpose in all of the earth. This is the work that I am now doing. I say unto you, march to the sound of that which you are hearing. Take up the ark of My covenant and go forth in strength and power, for I shall not fail you. My glory shall be revealed to you, says the Lord God.
THE LORD GOD IS LOOKING FOR PRIESTS WHO WILL SERVE HIM….not themselves….For this wondrous event to take place first must come a famine which we are now in….and then HE COMES WITH A SWORD….Amos 9:8-10
8 Behold, the eyes of the Lord God are upon the sinful kingdom, and I will destroy it from off the face of the earth; saving that I will not utterly destroy the house of Jacob, saith the Lord.
9 For, lo, I will command, and I will sift the house of Israel among all nations, like as corn is sifted in a sieve, yet shall not the least grain fall upon the earth.
10 All the sinners of my people shall die by the sword, which say, The evil shall not overtake nor prevent us. (KJV)
Please reread verse 10 again…
10 All the sinners of my people shall die by the sword, which say, The evil shall not overtake nor prevent us.
THE DAY the unrepentant are slaughtered will be THE DAY THE TABERNACLE WILL BE “RAISED AGAIN”.
This does not describe the revivals man alludes to. But THE WORD does not say there will be one. THE WORD clearly states there will be deceptions, strong delusions, waxing wickedness, reprobate minds, major apostasy/ falling away. No great move of repentance at all. Now if Amos and Isaiah 51 were the only places where the two IMAGES of FAMINE and SWORD appear in HIS WORD we might be able to ignore it. An OMNISCIENT AND ETERNAL ABBA ”knows” us….our stiff necked, less than eager ways and attitudes. Maybe that is why HE placed FAMINE and SWORD together in 40 verses. Amos is not one of them. Amos is the template for us to see GOD’S HANDIWORK in it’s fullness.
Interestingly 40 is the number of TRIAL….as in the WILDERNESS. It is the number of the DISPLEASURE of a HOLY GOD AND FATHER when national Israel fear giants more than appreciates the GOD WHO DWELT with them. It is also the number of battle….of fasting and prayer when THE LAMB was tempted and “WITHSTOOD” the enemy. 40 years….40 days….40 verses………40 days and 40 nights of rain. 40 is the number of DIVINE AND HOLY JUDGMENT on wickedness.
SO let me start with the oldest “reference” and see if it fits the “sequence” AMOS THE PROPHET gave us.
Job 5:17-27
17 Behold, happy is the man whom God correcteth: therefore despise not thou the chastening of the Almighty:
18 For he maketh sore, and bindeth up: he woundeth, and his hands make whole.
19 He shall deliver thee in six troubles: yea, in seven there shall no evil touch thee.
20 In famine he shall redeem thee from death: and in war from the power of the sword.
21 Thou shalt be hid from the scourge of the tongue: neither shalt thou be afraid of destruction when it cometh.
22 At destruction and famine thou shalt laugh: neither shalt thou be afraid of the beasts of the earth.
23 For thou shalt be in league with the stones of the field: and the beasts of the field shall be at peace with thee.
24 And thou shalt know that thy tabernacle shall be in peace; and thou shalt visit thy habitation, and shalt not sin.
25 Thou shalt know also that thy seed shall be great, and thine offspring as the grass of the earth.
26 Thou shalt come to thy grave in a full age, like as a shock of corn cometh in in his season.
27 Lo this, we have searched it, so it is; hear it, and know thou it for thy good. (KJV)
Again we see a clear synopsis of THE GOSPEL….GOD uses TRIAL to awaken wicked man and bring man to “SALVATION”. Interestingly FAMINE and SWORD are joined by DESTRUCTION and “the beasts of the earth” so that our “tabernacle shall be in peace”. Jeremiah takes it a step farther when he states….Jeremiah 5:10-17
10 Go ye up upon her walls, and destroy; but make not a full end: take away her battlements; for they are not the Lord‘s.
11 For the house of Israel and the house of Judah have dealt very treacherously against me, saith the Lord.
12 They have belied the Lord, and said, It is not he; neither shall evil come upon us; neither shall we see sword nor famine:
13 And the prophets shall become wind, and the word is not in them: thus shall it be done unto them.
14 Wherefore thus saith the Lord God of hosts, Because ye speak this word, behold, I will make my words in thy mouth fire, and this people wood, and it shall devour them.
15 Lo, I will bring a nation upon you from far, O house of Israel, saith the Lord: it is a mighty nation, it is an ancient nation, a nation whose language thou knowest not, neither understandest what they say.
16 Their quiver is as an open sepulchre, they are all mighty men.
17 And they shall eat up thine harvest, and thy bread, which thy sons and thy daughters should eat: they shall eat up thy flocks and thine herds: they shall eat up thy vines and thy fig trees: they shall impoverish thy fenced cities, wherein thou trustedst, with the sword. (KJV)
Here “the prophets” are openly attempting to deceive the people by giving them “words” that deny what GOD is saying. Funny how JOB speaks of obedience and repentance…TESHUVAH…and we have “tabernacles of peace”. JEREMIAH speaks of hardened hearts refusing GOD’S TRIALS and we have “open sepulchres”. Later he will give us a clearer view of JOB’S FOUR PRONGED JUDGMENT…Jeremiah 15:1-7
1 Then said the Lord unto me, Though Moses and Samuel stood before me, yet my mind could not be toward this people: cast them out of my sight, and let them go forth.
2 And it shall come to pass, if they say unto thee, Whither shall we go forth? then thou shalt tell them, Thus saith the Lord; Such as are for death, to death; and such as are for the sword, to the sword; and such as are for the famine, to the famine; and such as are for the captivity, to the captivity.
3 And I will appoint over them four kinds, saith the Lord: the sword to slay, and the dogs to tear, and the fowls of the heaven, and the beasts of the earth, to devour and destroy.
4 And I will cause them to be removed into all kingdoms of the earth, because of Manasseh the son of Hezekiah king of Judah, for that which he did in Jerusalem.
5 For who shall have pity upon thee, O Jerusalem? or who shall bemoan thee? or who shall go aside to ask how thou doest?
6 Thou hast forsaken me, saith the Lord, thou art gone backward: therefore will I stretch out my hand against thee, and destroy thee; I am weary with repenting.
7 And I will fan them with a fan in the gates of the land; I will bereave them of children, I will destroy my people since they return not from their ways. (KJV)
Like in AMOS, there is nowhere to run….no place to hide for the rebellious and the wicked.
DEATH….SWORD….FAMINE….CAPTIVITY….all appointed for a “SET TIME”….JESUS HAS CLEARLY CALLED US TO PICK UP OUR CROSSES TO FOLLOW HIM. TO TAKE UP HIS YOKE AND TO LEARN OF HIM. HE BRINGS THE TWO EDGED SWORD OF
HIS WORD TO CUT AND DIVIDE US SO WE MIGHT BE SEPERATED FROM A WICKED WORLD AND ABIDE IN HIS TABERNACLE OF PEACE. HE HAS COME TO THIS WORLD WITH HIS SWORD THAT COMES OUT OF HIS MOUTH….THE WORDS HE HAS HEARD ABBA SPEAK. TO BRING DEATH SO WE MAY LIVE AGAIN.
HE SENDS HIS DOGS TO TEAR AND REND THE FALSE FABRIC OF MAN’S ADULTEROUS PARODY OF HIS TABERNACLE.
Hosea 6:4-11
4 O Ephraim, what shall I do unto thee? O Judah, what shall I do unto thee? for your goodness is as a morning cloud, and as the early dew it goeth away.
5 Therefore have I hewed them by the prophets; I have slain them by the words of my mouth: and thy judgments are as the light that goeth forth.
6 For I desired mercy, and not sacrifice; and the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings.
7 But they like men have transgressed the covenant: there have they dealt treacherously against me.
8 Gilead is a city of them that work iniquity, and is polluted with blood.
9 And as troops of robbers wait for a man, so the company of priests murder in the way by consent: for they commit lewdness.
10 I have seen an horrible thing in the house of Israel: there is the whoredom of Ephraim, Israel is defiled.
11 Also, O Judah, he hath set an harvest for thee, when I returned the captivity of my people. (KJV)
THE FALSE PRIESTS CANNOT CARRY THE ARC, THE FALSE PROPHETS DO NOT PROVOKE A CARNAL PEOPLE TO REPENTANCE. SO THE KING COMES TO JUDGE HIS SERVANTS BOTH GOOD AND FAITHFUL WITH THOSE WHO ARE WICKED AND DRUNKEN.
Amos 2:9-16
9 Yet destroyed I the Amorite before them, whose height was like the height of the cedars, and he was strong as the oaks; yet I destroyed his fruit from above, and his roots from beneath.
10 Also I brought you up from the land of Egypt, and led you forty years through the wilderness, to possess the land of the Amorite.
11 And I raised up of your sons for prophets, and of your young men for Nazarites. Is it not even thus, O ye children of Israel? saith the Lord.
12 But ye gave the Nazarites wine to drink; and commanded the prophets, saying, Prophesy not.
13 Behold, I am pressed under you, as a cart is pressed that is full of sheaves.
14 Therefore the flight shall perish from the swift, and the strong shall not strengthen his force, neither shall the mighty deliver himself:
15 Neither shall he stand that handleth the bow; and he that is swift of foot shall not deliver himself: neither shall he that rideth the horse deliver himself.
16 And he that is courageous among the mighty shall flee away naked in that day, saith the Lord. (KJV)
THERE IS NO PLACE TO HIDE….NO PLACE TO RUN….EXCEPT TO THE LORD WHILE HE MAY BE FOUND.
Amos 3:1-8
1 Hear this word that the Lord hath spoken against you, O children of Israel, against the whole family which I brought up from the land of Egypt, saying,
2 You only have I known of all the families of the earth: therefore I will punish you for all your iniquities.
3 Can two walk together, except they be agreed?
4 Will a lion roar in the forest, when he hath no prey? will a young lion cry out of his den, if he have taken nothing?
5 Can a bird fall in a snare upon the earth, where no gin is for him? shall one take up a snare from the earth, and have taken nothing at all?
6 Shall a trumpet be blown in the city, and the people not be afraid? shall there be evil in a city, and the Lord hath not done it?
7 Surely the Lord God will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets.
8 The lion hath roared, who will not fear? the Lord God hath spoken, who can but prophesy? (KJV)
THE LION ROARS….HE HAS THUNDERED…. YET THE PRIESTS AND PRINCES WILL NOT REPENT FROM THEIR ADULTERIES AND THEIR SORCERIES. THERE IS A POINT WHERE A MOST HOLY GOD SHALL NO LONGER CONTEND WITH MAN.
BUT THE FOOL SAYS IN HIS HEART THAT THERE IS NO GOD. THERE IS NO ONE TO FEAR. NO ONE TO STAND INTERROR OF SO THERE IS NO NEED TO REPENT.
THE HUMBLED AND CONTRITE WALK OUT THEIR SALVATION BEFORE A HOLY GOD IN FEAR AND TREMBLING. BEING STILL BEFORE HIM WHO COMES WITH A SWORD TO RIGHTEOUSLY MAKE WAR UPON HIS ENEMIES.
Micah 3:1-12
1 And I said, Hear, I pray you, O heads of Jacob, and ye princes of the house of Israel; Is it not for you to know judgment?
2 Who hate the good, and love the evil; who pluck off their skin from off them, and their flesh from off their bones;
3 Who also eat the flesh of my people, and flay their skin from off them; and they break their bones, and chop them in pieces, as for the pot, and as flesh within the caldron.
4 Then shall they cry unto the Lord, but he will not hear them: he will even hide his face from them at that time, as they have behaved themselves ill in their doings.
5 Thus saith the Lord concerning the prophets that make my people err, that bite with their teeth, and cry, Peace; and he that putteth not into their mouths, they even prepare war against him.
6 Therefore night shall be unto you, that ye shall not have a vision; and it shall be dark unto you, that ye shall not divine; and the sun shall go down over the prophets, and the day shall be dark over them.
7 Then shall the seers be ashamed, and the diviners confounded: yea, they shall all cover their lips; for there is no answer of God.
8 But truly I am full of power by the spirit of the Lord, and of judgment, and of might, to declare unto Jacob his transgression, and to Israel his sin.
9 Hear this, I pray you, ye heads of the house of Jacob, and princes of the house of Israel, that abhor judgment, and pervert all equity.
10 They build up Zion with blood, and Jerusalem with iniquity.
11 The heads thereof judge for reward, and the priests thereof teach for hire, and the prophets thereof divine for money: yet will they lean upon the Lord, and say, Is not the Lord among us? none evil can come upon us.
12 Therefore shall Zion for your sake be plowed as a field, and Jerusalem shall become heaps, and the mountain of the house as the high places of the forest. (KJV)
THE GREAT AND TERRIBLE GOD HAS SPOKEN THROUGH HIS SERVANTS. JUDGMENT BEGINS IN THE HOUSEHOLD OF GOD AND MOVES THROUGHOUT HIS CITY TO THE ENDS OF THE EARTH. THE WHEAT AND THE TARES ARE SEPARATED FOR THE FINAL HARVEST HAS BEGUN.
Zechariah 8:1-23
1 Again the word of the Lord of hosts came to me, saying,
2 Thus saith the Lord of hosts; I was jealous for Zion with great jealousy, and I was jealous for her with great fury.
3 Thus saith the Lord; I am returned unto Zion, and will dwell in the midst of Jerusalem: and Jerusalem shall be called a city of truth; and the mountain of the Lord of hosts the holy mountain.
4 Thus saith the Lord of hosts; There shall yet old men and old women dwell in the streets of Jerusalem, and every man with his staff in his hand for very age.
5 And the streets of the city shall be full of boys and girls playing in the streets thereof.
6 Thus saith the Lord of hosts; If it be marvellous in the eyes of the remnant of this people in these days, should it also be marvellous in mine eyes? saith the Lord of hosts.
7 Thus saith the Lord of hosts; Behold, I will save my people from the east country, and from the west country;
8 And I will bring them, and they shall dwell in the midst of Jerusalem: and they shall be my people, and I will be their God, in truth and in righteousness.
9 Thus saith the Lord of hosts; Let your hands be strong, ye that hear in these days these words by the mouth of the prophets, which were in the day that the foundation of the house of the Lord of hosts was laid, that the temple might be built.
10 For before these days there was no hire for man, nor any hire for beast; neither was there any peace to him that went out or came in because of the affliction: for I set all men every one against his neighbour.
11 But now I will not be unto the residue of this people as in the former days, saith the Lord of hosts.
12 For the seed shall be prosperous; the vine shall give her fruit, and the ground shall give her increase, and the heavens shall give their dew; and I will cause the remnant of this people to possess all these things.
13 And it shall come to pass, that as ye were a curse among the heathen, O house of Judah, and house of Israel; so will I save you, and ye shall be a blessing: fear not, but let your hands be strong.
14 For thus saith the Lord of hosts; As I thought to punish you, when your fathers provoked me to wrath, saith the Lord of hosts, and I repented not:
15 So again have I thought in these days to do well unto Jerusalem and to the house of Judah: fear ye not.
16 These are the things that ye shall do; Speak ye every man the truth to his neighbour; execute the judgment of truth and peace in your gates:
17 And let none of you imagine evil in your hearts against his neighbour; and love no false oath: for all these are things that I hate, saith the Lord.
18 And the word of the Lord of hosts came unto me, saying,
19 Thus saith the Lord of hosts; The fast of the fourth month, and the fast of the fifth, and the fast of the seventh, and the fast of the tenth, shall be to the house of Judah joy and gladness, and cheerful feasts; therefore love the truth and peace.
20 Thus saith the Lord of hosts; It shall yet come to pass, that there shall come people, and the inhabitants of many cities:
21 And the inhabitants of one city shall go to another, saying, Let us go speedily to pray before the Lord, and to seek the Lord of hosts: I will go also.
22 Yea, many people and strong nations shall come to seek the Lord of hosts in Jerusalem, and to pray before the Lord.
23 Thus saith the Lord of hosts; In those days it shall come to pass, that ten men shall take hold out of all languages of the nations, even shall take hold of the skirt of him that is a Jew, saying, We will go with you: for we have heard that God is with you. (KJV)
THE TABERNACLE WILL BE RESTORED. A HOLY PRIESTHOOD SHALL BE
ESTABLISHED THAT SERVES THE KING OF GLORY ON HIS MOUNTAIN AND IN
HIS PAVILION. A ROYAL PRIESTHOOD ANOINTED AND SEPARATED AND COMMISSIONED IN THEIR SERVICE. ALL NATIONS WILL BOW BEFORE THE KING OF GLORY WHO SHALL ENTER THROUGH THE ANCIENT GATES. THE KING OF
GLORY WHO IS MIGHTY IN BATTLE. WHO COMES IN RIGHTEOUSNESS WITH A SWORD TO JUDGE HIS SERVANTS AND TO MAKE WAR UPON THE NATIONS. FAITHFUL AND TRUE IS THE KING OF GLORY.
WHO WILL FEAR HIS NAME? WHO WILL STAND BEFORE HIM?
BLESSED BE THE NAME OF THE LORD
