Meditations Upon Yom Kippor
Bob Neumann, 9/15/2002
Dear Stephen, Today in GOD’S CALENDAR is Tishri 9 and tonight at SUNDOWN begins YOM KIPPUR. I did read one of your last posts where you discussed the possibility of dates and calendars. The DAYS of AWE end tonight with THE DAY OF ATONEMENT.
I have kept silent because i was told to be STILL and to WAIT. That does not mean things have been QUIET or without THE MOST HOLY SPIRIT SPEAKING to the 7000 all those ELIJAHS out there are unaware of.
The DAY before ROSH Ha’SHANNAH i had a very vivid vision and a simple RHEMA out of EXODUS….i audibly heard “EXODUS 10″….and found myself standing in a dry, dusty, field that had been plowed and disked over and over. Over my shoulder was a strap to a bag that sat over my right hip. If you can imagine all those pictures of THE SOWER and THE SEED that is the impression that i had standing in the dust. But on reaching in the bag i felt cold hard round things….not seed.
I remember thinking i had a bag of marbles. When i opened my hand i held a dozen pearls. Various sizes, shapes and shades. I remember the strands of pearls i took to Kremmling last time i went…I also remembered the message about the HEBREW term “kelee” which are JEWELS…VESSELS…WEAPONS OF WARFARE… anything HE MAKES for HIS PURPOSES.
And then i heard this noise behind me and i looked behind me and saw this huge herd of SWINE routing through the ground looking for something to devour. It was then i realized that this was not a field plowed and disked in preparation for planting.
This was the work of swine that were tearing up the field…over and over….The herd i had heard….nice play on words…was moving quickly toward where i stood. I put the PEARLS back in their bag and turned to leave the area. Here the VISION ENDED.…
So all i had left to go on was Exodus 10…..…
1 And the LORD said unto Moses, Go in unto Pharaoh: for I have hardened his heart, and the heart of his servants, that I might shew these my signs before him:
2 And that thou mayest tell in the ears of thy son, and of thy son’s son, what things I have wrought in Egypt, and my signs which I have done among them; that ye may know how that I am the LORD.
Now that is as far as i could get…..one “word” had jumped out at me because it was not needed….look at verse 2 again…
That ye may know how that I am the LORD. Why put in the term HOW? Usually we hear…THAT YOU MAY KNOW THAT I AM THE LORD>>>>>…………..…
So the next plague…the locusts….would be a matter of YHVH proving HE IS GOD….but HOW HE IS GOD. Now this is not a play on WORDS….it is an affirmation of DIVINE CHARACTER and PURPOSE. Now i sat there and meditated on this RHEMA when i got nudged to look from the right column to the left….as HEBREW would be read…and i found Exodus 9…verse 29…………
29 And Moses said unto him, As soon as I am gone out of the city, I will spread abroad my hands unto the LORD; and the thunder shall cease, neither shall there be any more hail; that thou mayest know how that the earth is the LORD’s.
30 But as for thee and thy servants, I know that ye will not yet fear the LORD God.
Weird….GOD will stop the 7TH PLAGUE….and all it pertains to….but GOD is not fooled.… PHARAOH and ALL his servants do not fear THE LORD.…
After 7 horrendous plagues….GOD AIN’T DONE.… but notice in verse 29 the term “HOW” reappears…that thou mayest know how that the earth is the LORD’s after the THUNDERS have ceased…..that is how i took it.…
THE THUNDERS were warnings based on the SIN within the “CAMP”….the CHURCH. SO …. i went back into the 7TH PLAGUE….THE HAIL with THE FIRE FROM HEAVEN.…that is what it amounted to….but in the story there is an interesting comment.…
20 He that feared the word of the LORD among the servants of Pharaoh made his servants and his cattle flee into the houses:
21 And he that regarded not the word of the LORD left his servants and his cattle in the field.
Even in EGYPT there were those who FEARED the LORD because they saw what was happening. Even among Pharaohs servants. Interesting isn’t it.…
So what can be next?
26 Only in the land of Goshen, where the children of Israel were, was there no hail.
Susan Cummings just sent out a post where she was told.…
Be still. Do not leave the Place of Habitation…..I have called My people to My Arms! They have entered into My Chambers.
Now that is a direct reference to ISAIAH 26….all of this chapter is for here and now….but these are the interesting points for today…. 2
2 Open ye the gates, that the righteous nation which keepeth the truth may enter in
3 Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee
4 Trust ye in the LORD for ever: for in the LORD JEHOVAH is everlasting strength
5 For he bringeth down them that dwell on high; the lofty city, he layeth it low; he layeth it low, even to the ground; he bringeth it even to the dust
20 Come, my people, enter thou into thy chambers, and shut thy doors about 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 the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity: the earth also shall disclose her blood, and shall no more cover her slain.
Recently Alex has mentioned about THE TOOLS GOD HAS FORGED…..and even CASTING PEARLS.…
On Friday night….THE FIRST SABBATH of GOD’S NEW YEAR….i had a real weird Pepperoni Dream.…
Was not sure how to take it till i read some of what has happened since then….so here goes…
I “woke up” sitting/leaning on a piece of furniture…bench or sofa…i am not sure…and i was hearing many voices. Once again i was wearing a baseball cap pulled over my eyes. I found myself in a fairly large room with two groups of people. The first were to my right looking “out” as if there were a large window….or NTV screen. These people were standing and fairly “agitated”…as in “churned up”…something going on. Call them group A. Sitting in nice rows on the left side of the room where people sitting quietly. Call them group B. There were 10-12 people in each group.
As i sat and watched and listened i began to understand what was occurring. Group A was “watching” and trying to get the people of Group B to notice what they were seeing. Many of Group A were very upset at what they were seeing and hearing. They were very intense….that’s the best term i can come up with.
Now i kept hearing people in Group B speak in unison…”NOTHING IS GOING TO HAPPEN….NOTHING IS GOING TO HAPPEN…”
Now i sat and watched this “performance” for quite a while. I had a feeling that we had been moving….that time had passed. Some of the people in group A sat down with Group B….and some in Group B had gotten up and looked “out” and had joined Group A. And i wondered where this all was going….and i began to hear a muttering on my right side.
“I DO BELIEVE IN SPOKES…I DO BELIEVE IN SPOOKS….I DO…I DO…I DO….”.
Sitting along side of me was THE COWARDLY LION….trembling and crying huge tears….i told him “It’s going to be okay”….and i heard a sound to my right….a metallic rasping sound…..so i turned to my left..…
Sitting along side me was THE GRIM REAPER….and he was running a sharpening stone along the edge of a large scythe…..”SNICK>>>SNICK>>>SNICK”. The hand was skeletal and moved with slow precision. Simple compact movement.
And i had the “feeling” that the scythe was ready for the HARVEST….and i watched the hooded head nod in agreement.
All i could think of was the image from Revelation……….14………
13 And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; and their works do follow them.
14 And I looked, and behold a white cloud, and upon the cloud one sat like unto the Son of man, having on his head a golden crown, and in his hand a sharp sickle.
15 And another angel came out of the temple, crying with a loud voice to him that sat on the cloud, Thrust in thy sickle, and reap: for the time is come for thee to reap; for the harvest of the earth is ripe.
16 And he that sat on the cloud thrust in his sickle on the earth; and the earth was reaped.
17 And another angel came out of the temple which is in heaven, he also having a sharp sickle.
18 And another angel came out from the altar, which had power over fire; and cried with a loud cry to him that had the sharp sickle, saying, Thrust in thy sharp sickle, and gather the clusters of the vine of the earth; for her grapes are fully ripe.
19 And the angel thrust in his sickle into the earth, and gathered the vine of the earth, and cast it into the great winepress of the wrath of God.
20 And the winepress was trodden without the city, and blood came out of the winepress, even unto the horse bridles, by the space of a thousand and six hundred furlongs.
The only difference between a SCYTHE and a SICKLE is the length of the handle as far as i can tell. But JOHN first hears A VOICE FROM HEAVEN….and then he SEES….that is interesting…i heard the COWARDLY LION and the SNICK before i saw either. BLESSED ARE THE DEAD IN THE LORD. . . .
Now neither the people in group A nor those in group B noticed me and my two COMPANIONS. So i just sat and watched as the two groups in the same room “interacted” .… or should i say….”failed to interact”. Eventually it ended without anything actually happening. And i wondered about this. Later i read something Alex wrote.…
Why are you looking to your left and right? Our Redemption is not in any new Formula for Living Nor is it in our Assembly as a Church It is that Holy Communion between you and the Father Who brings all things to himself for himself and his glory For the Time is coming when we will all be asleep Awakened suddenly when he appears . . Who will be Ready? Will it be those of the Great Grand Mega-Church? Will it be the Modern Pharisees? Will it be the Great Apostolic and Prophetic Leaders rising up with great charisma leading the church to some glorious new age?
No! It will be those who have learned not only to hear the lord But also to obey. Drone out the multitude of voices. Learn that every Prophecy and word spoken is not for your ears. Learn that nothing happens by coincidence or happenstance. Learn to connect the dots. Be Still and Know that HE IS GOD!!!!!
I really like the 3 calls to LEARN….you can add “DISCERN” and “UNDERSTAND” to each LEARN.
Now for years i have been playing “CONNECT THE DOTS” and gotten rebuked all too often by a few.
But Alex covered that one too.…
The True Path of the Prophet is according to the Will of the Lord.
The Prophetic order is older than the Church and even older than Israel. It existed as a foundation laid by God upon Christ our lord. Dispute this if you wish, Drum up all the scripture you want, But Truth is Truth, The Prophetic order is under the very hand of God.
You have to really think on that….THE TRUE SERVANT of GOD….answers to GOD ALONE.
There is only ONE MASTER….ONE LORD….remember those RED LETTERS.…
Matthew 4
9 And saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me
10 Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve
11 Then the devil leaveth him, and, behold, angels came and ministered unto him
But even PAGANS can figure it out
Daniel 3
27 And the princes, governors, and captains, and the king’s counsellors, being gathered together, saw these men, upon whose bodies the fire had no power, nor was an hair of their head singed, neither were their coats changed, nor the smell of fire had passed on them
28 Nebuchadnezzar spake, and said, Blessed be the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, who hath sent his angel, and delivered his servants that trusted in him, and have changed the king’s word, and yielded their bodies, that they might not serve nor worship any god, except their own God
29 Therefore I make a decree, That every people, nation, and language, which speak any thing amiss against the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, shall be cut in pieces, and their houses shall be made a dunghill: because there is no other God that can deliver after this sort
AMEN….SELAH
