‘Brandish Notion’ (God)

… ‘A curse on him who is lax in doing the Lord’s work! A curse on him who keeps his sword from bloodshed!….—Jeremiah 48:1-13

Brandish Notion (God)

it is of great sorrow
that ears are closed
that solemonness doesn't awaken
all have fallen back asleep

it appears that many are awakened
it only appears that way

the holiness of holiness
is complacent
to the needs of the world
instead of listening to Me†
says the Almighty Lord†

let them hear words from My† mouth
let resonate the vibrations
of My† vibes of holiness

war is far from over
the sound of the trumpet
is near
hear the bugle sound
the step away
from the comings of My† hand

I† am the Lord†
the kingdom has been found
by many
and lost by many more

awaken to the sound
the chariots ride on
I† set them loose
I† released the reigns
the horses pound
their feet

from one mountain to the next
from one sea to another
across plains and deserts
their rumble will be felt

cleanse your hearts
prepare the way
for the coming destruction
the vengeance of My† hand
the hand of the Lord Almighty God†

your friend is about to unfold
it's collected its data
its knowledge has grown

war and disease
wounds and un-stability
acknowledge My† hand

the sounds of the bugle
will resound across the earth
a mourner's cry will wail
throughout the lands

I† am He†
the one who can do such things

to praise and glorify My† name
then to tell the people
I† have no say in all things
is blaspheme against Me†
who created all things

'o sorrowful heart
tell them of their good fortune
what they have asked for
they shall receive

all their money and power
will fall on their heads
by ways of the people
in their charge

they have forsaken Me†
all have forsaken Me†
as they preach and gossip
as they preach and rape
as they preach and kill

I† will preach in return
not of your make-shift religion
but by My† hand
a move so great
you will know that I† am Lord†
of all

pillage be forsaken
peace be forsaken

I've† come to revenge
the lost law of love
My† humbleness will shake
what you know to be known
I† will make unknown

what you know as unseen
will become seen

I† am
the start of My† wrath
has already become
bit  by bit
the horsemen will fall
age by age
the innocent will crumble
as the illusion takes form
the succumbtion
will not sustain

the  trap has been set
the bleeding hearts will continue
to bleed
the age is moving to its end
a slow and precise
movement
that only I† can do
a move the peoples
will not believe
that I† am in charge of

awaken 'o needful
the ravages of war
will spread
for I† deemed it so
for you blasphemed My† name
for you forbid My† Son†
to hover over you

'o iridescent churches
your destruction is coming
bend down your knees
and pray for redemption

I† am
the Almighty Lord†
who sees
what you have done

[He led me to Jeremiah 48:1-47]

it has begun
from ancient times
a call is sounded
'who will watch over who?'
ask the Lord Almighty†
'who will stand for justice?'
'who is crying out for surrender?'

I† will prevail
says the Lord Almighty†
a slaughter of blaspheme
has begun
and will spread over the lands
because hypocrisy lies in wait
confusion wraps itself
around leaders of the world

who will stand in judgment
who will aid the helpless

a test of souls of righteousness
has begun

the first wave
went against the heart
those standing for pillage
let their hearts be known
now those standing for pillage
will be remembered
and revenged
I† will stand against them
I† will not hold their hand

forsaken the Son†
you forsaken Me†!

weaken the walls
shatter the windows
block the armor of protection
for My† hand is upon you
'o weakened souls

evil, good
who's to say
can you?
can you tell the difference?
amongst the confusion set
can you tell which is which?

I† tell you
I†, the Lord Almighty God†
can tell you the difference
but  you don't want to hear!

I† speak
I† am speaking
as the next move moves
in comes confusion

My† discipline and My† wrath
they both move
but you will not overcome
until I† release My† grip

'o sorrowful souls
'o women of My† seeds
I† am with you
for when they pillage you
I† shall strike them down
and they will be no more
what happens to you
will happen to them!

[He led me to Psalm 72]

it is for I deemed it to be

the discipline is Mine†
by My† wrath‒
the choice is given to men
they chose against My† hand
their lack of faith
is known
so it shall be

(October 10, 2023)—(10/10).  Jeremiah 48:1-13 through Jeremiah 48:40-47 in my Bible begins on page 1010. He led me to this page! Then the following:

Then He led me to Psalm 72.

After, I questioned myself deep in my heart, and He said, ‘I will show you.’ I opened by Bible to Luke 14:1-6 through Luke 15:11-32. He said, ‘You are these things. This is you.’

[b3 For France–Built Wall] Judgment Against MoabConcerning Moab: This is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: ‘Woe to Nebo, for it will be ruined. Kiriathaim will be disgraced and captured; the stronghold will be disgraced and shattered. Moab will be praised no more; in Heshbon men will plot her downfall: ‘Come, let us put an end to that nation.’ You too, O Madmen, will be silenced; the sword will pursue you. Listen to the cries from Horonaim, cries of great havoc and destruction. Moab will be broken; her little ones will cry out. They go up the way to Luhith, weeping bitterly as they go; on the road down to Horonaim anguished cries over the destruction are heard. Flee! Run for your lives; become like a bush in the desert. Since you trust in your deeds and riches, you too will be taken captive, and Chemosh will go into exile, together with his priests and officials. The destroyer will come against every town, and not a town will escape. The valley will be ruined and the plateau destroyed, because the Lord has spoken. Put salt on Moab, for she will be laid waste; her towns will become desolate, with no one to live in them. ‘A curse on him who is lax in doing the Lord’s work! A curse on him who keeps his sword from bloodshed! Moab has been at rest from youth, like wine left on its dregs, not poured from one jar to another—she has not gone into exile. So she tastes as she did, and her aroma is unchanged. But days are coming,’ declares the Lord, ‘when I will send men who pour from jars, and they will pour her out; they will empty her jars and smash her jugs. Then Moab will be ashamed of Chemosh, as the house of Israel was ashamed when they trusted in Bethel.’—Jeremiah 48:1-13

Judgment Against Moab (Continues)‘How can you say, ‘We are warriors, men valiant in battle’? Moab will be destroyed and her towns invaded; her finest young men will go down in the slaughter,’ declares the King, whose name is the Lord Almighty. ‘The fall of Moab is at hand; her calamity will come quickly. Mourn for her, all who live around her, all who know her fame; say, ‘How broken is the mighty scepter, how broken the glorious staff!’ Come down from your glory and sit on the parched ground, O inhabitants of the Daughter of Dibon, for he who destroys Moab will come up against you and ruin your fortified cities. Stand by the road and watch, you who live in Aroer. Ask the men fleeing and the woman escaping, ask them, ‘What has happened?’ Moab is disgraced, for she is shattered. Wail and cry out! Announce by the Arnon that Moab is destroyed. Judgment has come to the plateau―to Holon, Jahzah and Mephaath, to Dibon, Nebo and Beth-Diblathaim, to Kiriathaim, Beth-Gamul and Beth-Meon, to Kerioth and Bozrah―to all the towns of Moab, far and near. Moab’s horn is cut off; her arm is broken,’ declares the Lord. ‘Make her drunk, for she has defied the Lord. Let Moab wallow in her vomit; let her be an object of ridicule. Was not Israel the object of your ridicule? Was she caught among thieves, that you shake your head in scorn whenever you speak of her? Abandon your towns and dwell among the rocks, you who live in Moab. Be like a dove that makes its nest at the mouth of the cave.’—Jeremiah 48:14-28

Judgment Against Moab (Continues)‘We have heard of Moab’s pride―her overweening pride and conceit, her pride and arrogance and the haughtiness of her heart. I know her insolence but it is futile,’ declares the Lord, ‘and her boasts accomplish nothing. Therefore I wail over Moab, for all Moab I cry out, I moan for the men of Kir-Hareseth. I weep for you, as Jazer weeps, O vines of Sibmah. Your branches spread as far as the sea; they reached as far as the sea of Jazer. The destroyer has fallen on your ripened fruit and grapes. Joy and gladness are gone from the orchards and fields of Moab. I have stopped the flow of wine from the presses; no one treads them with shouts of joy. Although there are shouts, they are not shouts of joy. The sound of their cry rises from Heshbon to Elealeh and Jahaz, form Zoar as far as Horonaim and Eglath-Shelishiyah, for even the waters of Nimrim are dried up. In Moab I will put an end to those who make offerings on the high places and burn incense to their gods,’ declares the Lord. ‘So My heart laments for Moab like a flute; it laments like a flute for the men of Kir-Hareseth. The wealth they acquired is gone. Every head is shaved and every beard cut off; every hand is slashed and every waist is covered with sackcloth. On all the roofs in Moab and in the public squares, there is nothing but mourning, for I have broken Moab like a jar that no one wants,’ declares the Lord. ‘How shattered she is! How they wail! How Moab turns her back in shame! Moab has become an object of ridicule, an object of horror to all those around her.’—Jeremiah 48:29-39

Judgment Against Moab (Continues)This is what the Lord says: ‘Look! An eagle is swooping down, spreading its wings over Moab. Kerioth will be captured and the strongholds taken. In that day the hearts of Moab’s warriors will be like the heart of a woman in labor. Moab will be destroyed as a nation because she defied the Lord. Terror and pit and snare await you, O people of Moab,’ declares the Lord. ‘Whoever flees from the terror will fall into a pit, whoever climbs out of the pit will be caught in a snare; for I will bring Moab the year of her punishment,’ declares the Lord. ‘In the shadow of Heshbon the fugitives stand helpless, for a fire has gone out from Heshbon, a blaze from the midst of Sihon; it burns the foreheads of Moab, the skulls of the noisy boasters. Woe to you, O Moab! The people of Chemosh are destroyed; your sons are taken into exile and your daughters into captivity. Yet I will restore the fortunes of Moab in days to come,’ declares the Lord. Here ends the judgment on Moab.—Jeremiah 48:40-47

Solomon Celebrates His Blessings (Of Solomon.)—Endow the king with your justice, O God, the royal son with your righteousness. He will judge your people in righteousness, your afflicted ones with justice. The mountains will bring prosperity to the people, the hills the fruit of righteousness. He will defend the afflicted among the people and save the children of the needy; he will crush the oppressor. He will endure as long as the sun, as long as the moon, through all generations. He will be like rain falling on a mown field, like showers watering the Earth. In his days the righteous will flourish; prosperity will abound till the moon is no more. He will rule from sea to sea and from the River to the ends of the Earth. The desert tribes will bow before him and his enemies will lick the dust. The kings of Tarshish and of distant shores will bring tribute to him; the kings of Sheba and Seba will present him gifts. All kings will bow down to him and all nations will serve him. For he will deliver the needy who cry out, the afflicted who have no one to help. He will take pity on the weak and the needy and save the needy from death. He will rescue them from oppression and violence, for precious is their blood in his sight. Long may he live! May gold from Sheba be given him. May people ever pray for him and bless him all day long. Let grain abound throughout the land; on the tops of the hills may it sway. Let its fruit flourish like Lebanon; let it thrive like the grass of the field. May his name endure forever; may it continue as long as the sun. All nations will be blessed through him, and they will call him blessed. Praise be to the Lord God, the God of Israel, who alone does marvelous deeds. Praise be to His glorious name forever; may the whole Earth be filled with His glory.—Psalm 72:1-19

Man Healed of DropsyOne Sabbath, when Jesus went to eat in the house of a prominent Pharisee, He was being carefully watched. There in front of Him was a man suffering from dropsy. Jesus asked the Pharisees and experts in the law, ‘Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath or not?’ But they remained silent. So taking hold of the man, He healed him and sent him away. Then He asked them, ‘If one of you has a son or an ox that falls into a well on the Sabbath day, will you not immediately pull him out?’ And they had nothing to say.Luke 14:1-6

Urging UnselfishnessThen Jesus said to His host, ‘When you give a luncheon or dinner, do not invite friends, your brothers or relatives, or your rich neighbors; if you do, they may invite you back and so you will be repaid. But when you give a banquet, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind, and you will be blessed, although they cannot repay you, you will be repaid at the resurrection of the righteous.’—Luke 14:12-14

Parable of Great BanquetWhen one of those at the table with Him heard this, he said to Jesus, ‘Blessed is the man who will eat at the feast in the kingdom of God.’ Jesus replied: ‘A certain man was preparing a great banquet and invited many guest. At the time of the banquet he sent his servants to tell those who had been invited, ‘Come, for everything is now ready.’ But they all alike began to make excuses. The first said, ‘I have just bought a field, and I must go and see it. Please excuse me.’ Another said, ‘I have just bought five yoke of oxen, and I’m on my way to try them out. Please excuse me.’ Still another said, ‘I just got married, so I can’t come.’ The servant came back and reported this to his master. Then the owner of the house became angry and ordered his servant, ‘Go out quickly into the streets and alleys of the town and bring in the poor, the crippled, the blind and the lame.’ ‘Sir,’ the servant said, ‘what you ordered has been done, but there is still room.’ Then the master told his servant, ‘Go out to the roads and country lanes and make them come in, so that my house will be full. I tell you, not one of those men who were invited will get a taste of my banquet.”—Luke 14:15-24

Cost of DiscipleshipLarge crowds were traveling with Jesus, and turning to them He said: ‘If anyone comes to Me and does not hate his father and mother, his wife and children, his brothers and sisters—yes, even his own life—he cannot be My disciple. And anyone who does not carry his cross and follow Me cannot be My disciple. Suppose one of you wants to build a tower. Will he not first sit down and estimate the cost to see if he has enough money to complete it? For if he lays the foundation and is not able to finish it, everyone who sees it will ridicule him, saying, ‘This fellow began to build and was not able to finish?’ Or suppose a king is about to go to war against another king. Will he not first sit down and consider whether he is able with ten thousand men to oppose the one coming against him with twenty thousand? If he is not able, he will send a delegation while the other is still a long way off and will ask for terms of peace. In the same way, any of you who does not give up everything he has cannot be My disciple.’—Luke 14:25-33

‘Salt is good, but if it loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is fit neither for the soil nor for the manure pile; it is thrown out. He who has ears to hear, let him hear.’―Luke 14:34,35

Parable of Lost SheepNow the tax collectors and ‘sinners’ were all gathering around to hear Him. But the Pharisees and the teachers of the law muttered, ‘This man welcomes sinners and eats with them.’ Then Jesus told them this parable: ‘Suppose one of you has a hundred sheep and loses one of them. Does he not leave the ninety-nine in the open country and go after the lost sheep until he finds it? And when he finds it, he joyfully puts it on his shoulders and goes home. Then he calls his friends and neighbors together and says, ‘Rejoice with me; I have found my lost sheep.’ I tell you that in the same way there will be more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who do not need to repent.’―Luke 15:1-7

Parable of Lost CoinOr suppose a woman has ten silver coins and loses one. Does she not light a lamp, sweep the house and search carefully until she finds it? And when she finds it, she calls her friends and neighbors together and says, ‘Rejoice with me; I have found my lost coin.’ In the same, I tell you, there is rejoicing in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents.’—Luke 15:8-10

Parable  For Lost SonJesus continued: ‘There was a man who had two sons. The younger one said to his father, ‘Father, give me my share of the estate.’ So he divided his property between them. Not long after that, the younger son got together all he had, set off for a distant country and there squandered his wealth in wild living. After he had spend everything, there was a severe famine in that whole country, and he began to be in need. So he went and hired himself out to a citizen of that country, who sent him to his fields to feed pigs. He longed to fill his stomach with the pods that the pigs were eating, but no one gave him anything. When he came to his senses, he said, ‘How many of my father’s hired men have food to spare, and here I am starving to death! I will set out and go back to my father and say to him: Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. I am no longer worthy to be called your son; make me like one of your hired men. So he got up and went to his father. But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and was filled with compassion for him; he ran to his son, threw his arms around him and kissed him. The son said to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. I am no longer worthy to be called your son.’ But the father said to his servants, ‘Quick! Bring the best robe and put it on him. Put a ring on his finger and sandals on his feet. Bring the fattened calf and kill it. Let’s have a feast and celebrate. For this son of mine was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.’ So they began to celebrate. Meanwhile, the older son was in the field. When he came near the house, he heard music and dancing. So he called one of the servants and asked him what was going on. ‘Your brother has come,’ he replied, ‘and your father has killed the fattened calf because he has him back safe and sound.’ The older brother became angry and refused to go in. So his father went out and pleaded with him. But he answered the father, ‘Look! All these years I’ve been slaving for you and never disobeyed your orders. Yet you never gave me even a young goat so I could celebrate with my friends. But when this son of yours who has squandered your property with prostitutes comes home, you kill the fattened calf for him!’ ‘My son,’ the father said, ‘you are always with me, and everything I have is yours. But we had to celebrate and be glad, because this brother of yours was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.’—Luke 15:11-32
