House of Prayer for All Nations ~ Pearl of Great Price

7/31/24 

We continue on this week with the meaning of the dream House of Prayer for All Nations Dream. The scriptures given upon waking were: 

The Lord has made bare His holy arm in the eyes of all the nations; and all the ends of the earth shall see the salvation of our God. Isaiah 52:10.

And Ask of Me, and I will give You the nations for Your inheritance, and the ends of the earth for Your possession. Psalm 2:8.

Both of these verses have end-time implications.  

“I will give You the nations for Your inheritance: The LORD’s Anointed holds the nations as His inheritance. He will rule over all nations and all judgment is committed to Him (John 5:22).  Revelation 11:15 describes an exciting consummation of this inheritance: Then the seventh angel sounded: And there were loud voices in heaven, saying, “The kingdoms of this world have become the kingdoms of our Lord and of His Christ, and He shall reign forever and ever!” Enduring Word Bible Commentary Psalm 2.

And as He taught them, He said, “Is it not written: ‘My house will be called a house of prayer for all nations’? But you have made it ‘a den of robbers.’”  Mark 11:17.

After more prayer, God spoke: “The world is My oyster, the pearl of great price.”  Interesting phrase, and as I meditated on it, it began to make sense.  The world is the Lord’s oyster.  It is incubating the pearl of great price.  That pearl is the Kingdom of God, heaven and the Bride of Christ being formed; ready to be harvested.

Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant seeking beautiful pearls, who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had and bought it.  Matthew 13:45–46.

“This is a parable about what matters most to God and to us. Christ was “seeking, finding, and purchasing his elect” writes Matthew Henry. His people were “lost and going astray” but he valued them. Jesus “took much pains” to buy his people back. God’s people are a “pearl of great price; [...] very precious to God, so highly esteemed by Christ, as his portion, his inheritance, and his jewels. Christ was willing to give up everything—even his life—to buy us back, to redeem us, for eternal life with the Father in heaven.” What Is the ‘Pearl of Great Price’ in Scripture and What Does it Mean?

Hence, the nations as God’s inheritance are also, His pearl of great price being formed in the earth and readied for complete formation.  In other words, harvesting!  Do you not say, ‘There are still four months and then comes the harvest’? Behold, I say to you, lift up your eyes and look at the fields, for they are already white for harvest!  John 4:35. Wow, the harvest is white and so is a pearl!

The Lord of the harvest is calling us to call the nations to Him.  He may choose to give you a nation as an assignment.  As I have been given Saudi Arabia, others may receive a nation as we see His day approaching.  Believe me, I have ‘no’ connection to Saudi Arabia, however, God says: Surely you shall call a nation you do not know, and nations who do not know you shall run to you, because of the Lord your God, and the Holy One of Israel; for He has glorified you.  Isaiah 55:5.

He will lift up a banner to the nations from afar and will whistle to them from the end of the earth; surely, they shall come with speed, swiftly.  Isaiah 5:26.

SING AND PRAY WITH ME:  

I will end with a song the Spirit gave me for this dream: He Reigns - Newsboys (youtube.com).

Lord of the harvest, help us to lift up our eyes and look at the fields, because they are white for harvest to bring in the pearl of great price.  Clothe us and gift us to work in Your fields, to be about Your end-time work.  I want to call nations who do not know You to run to You.  Make me a harvest tool in God’s hands.  In Your name, we ask, Jesus. Amen.
