World on Fire ~ Oct. 2023

10/18/23

A fire goes before Him and burns up His enemies round about.  His lightnings light the world; the earth sees and trembles. Psalm 97:3-4.

In March of this year, I had a dream of a summoning Benjamin Netanyahu (current Prime Minister of Israel).  Then in May, the Lord told me to “Keep your eyes on Israel and what is going to play out.”  That is when I posted Two States ~ Sands of Our Times.  I know what happens to Israel is key to the signs of our time.

I have said in a post from 8/30/23 Fire ~ Wind ~ Rain... “We have seen the rains; we are now seeing the winds…what is next, Lord?”  I suspected it would be fire but for someone who lives in a wildfire prone area of Southern California, I didn’t want to go there!  

So, I knew fire was next on the Lord’s agenda to usher in His end-time revival, but I didn’t want to ask.  Not knowing what the implications would be, I was scared.  I figured He would tell me when He was ready, or perhaps, when I was ready! Hahaha.  With the attacks on Israel, I was ready to ask.  When I did, I was apprehensive and surprised.  

The Spirit gave me a verse: Look, all you who kindle a fire, who encircle yourselves with sparks: walk in the light of your fire and in the sparks, you have kindled—This you shall have from My hand: you shall lie down in torment. Isaiah 50:11.

Another was given: And it came to pass, when the sun went down and it was dark, that behold, there appeared a smoking oven and a burning torch that passed between those pieces.  On the same day the Lord made a covenant with Abram, saying: “To your descendants I have given this land, from the river of Egypt to the great river, the river Euphrates—” Genesis 15:17-21.

This section of Genesis records when God gave Abraham the land (via a flaming torch) to become Israel.  Wow!  What is this current conflict about (as always)?  Land and the right of Israel to exist.  However, Israel only possesses a small portion of God’s inheritance for many reasons which I won’t get into now.

Today (10/14/23), when the above verses were revealed to me, we had a “Ring of Fire” eclipse.  Live video: Watch the 2023 ‘ring of fire’ solar eclipse over the U.S. | FOX 5 San Diego.  Do you see a pattern of fire emerging as I do?

Then, God reminded me of the October earthquakes that I have recently posted about under: A Lot of Shaking Going on the Day of Israel's Attack.  Look at what I found (10/1 thru 10/18) centered around what is geographically known as the Ring of Fire.  The blue stars indicate a quake of 6.0 or greater.

When the war on Israel was perpetrated, the Taliban made a threat to God’s land.  From Jonathan Cahn on October 8^th: “The Taliban in Afghanistan declared war on Israel, saying they will liberate Jerusalem.  And then I heard an earthquake struck Afghanistan and almost 2000 people were killed.”

I did some research, and it wasn’t just one shaking, but four!  Two earthquakes of magnitude 6.3 rattled Afghanistan on 10/7/23 (the day the war started, and Taliban made threats).  “At least 1,384 people killed, 1,853 injured and 485 missing. At least 15 villages and 2,499 houses destroyed, 613 others, 21,300 buildings and 41 villages damaged and landslides in Herat.”

Again, on 10/11/23 and 10/15/23, 6.3’s hit the same area.  “Seven people killed, 331 others injured and 700 previously weakened houses collapsed in Chahak, landslide blocked the Herat–Torghundi highway, several villages destroyed and additional damage in Herat.”

Don’t mess with threats against God’s land!  And the Lord said to Satan, “The Lord rebuke you, Satan! The Lord who has chosen Jerusalem rebuke you! Is this not a brand plucked from the fire?”  Zechariah 3:2.

For behold, the Lord will come with fire and with His chariots, like a whirlwind, to render His anger with fury, and His rebuke with flames of fire.  Isaiah 66:15.

I thought to investigate the number 6.3… six is the number of man (i.e., 666) and three is witness, the fullness of the Godhead aka the Trinity.  Interesting, as Afghanistan was hit with 6.3 quakes!

I will keep you posted with what I hear the Spirit saying on these events.  But for now, I will end with a song that has been rolling in my head for days now: “Ring of Fire” by Johnny Cash (Ring of Fire - YouTube):

Though this world is on fire, our hope is in the Lord who goes before us and burns up our enemies round about.  More to come on this subject for sure! 

For our God is a consuming fire.  Hebrews 12:29.
