In innocence, I asked the Lord a question. We tend to think we should understand, but in the knowing of good and evil, there is no balancing on the razor's edge. This comprehension is the key which moves us on through an open door.....to hell or heaven. The minutest sample of the power of destruction, even for it's own sake, corrupts everything it touches. They all become "without form and void," stripped of all meaning and conscience.......with One exception.
Only One has overcome the dictates of force, fear, and merciless, mindless, and compassionless destruction. He has disarmed hatred. He robbed death of all decisive power. It is His will, alone, which does, and will, prevail, again, with one exception.....
He has left our own will intact, sovereign in choice of destiny, in context of relationship with Him. He defines the one criteria which gives access to His reward and approval. It's an all or nothing choice. Only the very righteousness of God passes muster.
My question for Him was, "If each sinner seeks to impose his own will over yours, then why not provide each rebel with his own world, with limits beyond which he cannot spread his illness?" God has already done that. The world is called Earth. He even threw in a shot at perfection. Now that we have joined in the questioning, He has added the chance to learn some of what He knows and understands. The mess starts with the knowing of evil, but with all of the full scope of it's pain and consequences.
In conquering our darkness, in banishing the just results of our rejection of our very life, He has reaffirmed Himself as our standard, our goal, our reason, and our highest calling! He has imposed His healing on our insanity! It was always our destiny to understand, but from the perspective of His joy! That joy is far greater than we could contain in a state of innocence. He has blazed the trail, opened wide the gate, to heaven, where He dwells, by gifting us an understanding of Himself.
New eyes opened understand the cost of love, HIS love, and know that only HIS has any worth! Rabid and fanatical devotion grow out of the perception of His beauty! This zeal is but a reflection of His own!
No matter how pristine the environment in which the sinner is placed, he will soon convert it to the hell which dwells inside himself. He can achieve no satisfaction, can find no shred of joy or love, but must endure the final, eternal disappointment and anger of the One who cannot be shut out, because of the cost of the refused, freely offered without price, salvation. Sin has destroyed any trace of the godly within the wicked man, for he refused to be satisfied with the abundance of the person of God. The time has past when he could have surrendered the only thing of value he could have offered, himself, to receive as King the only One of any value. The sinner is left with nothing. He IS nothing.

The Satifaction of the Finish!
All glory is the Lord's! It is my great joy to lift up my brother, and do all that I can do, in Jesus' Name! The exact measure of my burdens of sorrow, which He so generously allows me as a vent for my grief, will feel like nothing, as a brief flash, when compared to the multiplied peace, satisfaction, and glory of their resulting harvest (which He brings forth). My naked eyes are open to the morning light, increasing toward the full light of day, the healing of my wounds, a reconciliation to His love! We shine with the radiance of His brilliant image! Our disguises fall away like dust. Benevolence is our sure inheritance, the Rock of His character on which we stand! He brings us to where we glory in Him! Glory! So much glory! Surrounds us and is about to be revealed to the world! With HIM, I will be satisfied!

The High Cost of Tyranny
We have been rabidly and violently pursued with your agenda and expectations. A people of peace forcefully confronted with the despotism of greed are left no place in this world. Yet the will of the Lord has used this to wake us up.
We have been given:
A shockingly and achingly clear vision of right and wrong, as defined in HIS character.
A firm resolve, to pay the cost, regardless of price, of HIS freedom.
Strength to voluntarily take up the the face, the very identity, of the martyr for HIS name, of the only One who can cleanse and heal this evil.
The very angels of heaven are drawn to the purity of this fire of devotion, to minister of their comfort and support.
Only those who pay the price, to give up all hopes of the flesh, can render the just verdict. It is those burning with the passion, of compassion and mercy, who will push forward in the conflict, to lead the people of hope and courage, for this people recognize the Face of their Beloved, which is of self sacrifice.
The battle lines are drawn. You will find no solace of peace and security in an acquiescence of cowardice. Where do you stand? On whom will you be able to depend? Your very soul Hangs in the balance..

The Two Firstfruits of the Harvest Cycle
Firstfruits is a ceremonial recognition of the fact that the initial results of our labor belong to the Lord. (Exodus 13:2, numbers 8:16) We may plant, but it is the Lord who gives us the fruit of our labor. (1 Cor. 3:7) By the offering of the first of the harvest, the rest of the harvest is sanctified. There are actually two celebrations, in the feasts of the Lord, which are called firstfruits, one at Passover, and the other at Pentecost. That is important to know, because there are two main grains with spiritual meanings assigned, in the harvest times of Israel. There are also two groups of people, complete with their attendant promises, which comprise the assembly of the people of God.
The genetic descendants of Abraham through Isaac, have kingdom promises given to them, which are to be fulfilled on earth, and in the promised land. The spiritual seed of Abraham has promises of a heavenly inheritance. This is why God told Abraham that his offspring would number both "more than the sand of the sea" and more "than the stars of the heavens". These two seeds, both physical and spiritual, are also represented by the two main grains of the firstfruits harvest festivals.
Christ is the actual firstfruits offering of the barley harvest. Christians are the barley harvest, itself. (1Cor. 15:20-23) Christians are "the body of Christ" ( Rom. 12:5, 1Cor. 6:15, 1Cor. 12:27, Eph. 5:23). Barley is "thrown into the air" to separate it from the chaff. The 144,000 JEWISH young men, are the firstfruits of the wheat harvest, presented after the barley has been removed from the field. The wheat was harvested using a "tribulum" to break it out of the harder shell it was encased in. The seven year Tribulaion is the beginning of the reign of Messiah, with the harvesting of the wheat and grapes of wrath. (Rev. 14) At His physical return will be the time for the celebration known as the Feast of Trumpets, which is a celebration of Triumph and Ressurection. It is the last feast to celebrate ALL the harvest, before we dwell with Him forever!

The Spirit and the Bride Say Come! (Revelation 22:17)
I was named Rebecca (to bind) Valiant (lion of God in Hebrew)
The Lord says He will not cause pain without something new being born. After the solar eclipse and blood moon comes the Day of The Lord. So, "as in the days of Noah" it will be "in the second month, and the seventeenth day of the month the fountains of the deep were opened up." (Genesis 7) Seven days before that, God told Noah to enter the ark, and God shut the door behind Noah. Seven days later, the flood came. Forty days after midnight mark the beginning of the days of Noah. Israel must enter the ark, must be sealed, and has seven days to do so.
As to the Bride, the wedding party will enter just after midnight (the midnight marked by the solar eclipses as the change to the seventh millineum.) It's a spring wedding, but the groom was delayed by retrieving His Bride from another country! He was on a long journey, so the feast (for the bride) is for the second Passover, thirty days from the first one!
Song of Solomon 6: 11
I had gone down to the nut orchard
to see the fresh green plants in the valley,
to see if the vine had budded,
or if the pomegranate trees were in bloom.
12 Before I knew it, I found myself
in a chariot, and with me was a prince.
Song of Solomon 8:6-7Complete Jewish Bible (CJB)
Set me like a seal on your heart, like a seal on your arm; for love is as strong as death, passion as cruel as Sh’ol; its flashes are flashes of fire, [as fierce as the] flame of Yah. No amount of water can quench love, torrents cannot drown it. If someone gave all the wealth in his house for love, he would gain only utter contempt.
Song of Solomon 6:10“Who is this, shining forth like the dawn, fair as the moon, bright as the sun” —but formidable as an army marching under banners?
Psalm 110:3On the day your forces mobilize, your people willingly offer themselves in holy splendors from the womb of the dawn; the dew of your youth is yours.
I am bride to the King and Deliverer. I was born (again) 40 (jubilee) years ago. I am in my year of jubilee (50th) year, where I will be released in an exodus from servitude. I am of the firstfruits of the last days, just like my Beloved. (James1:18)
The Bride has had her 40 years in the wilderness. Her test is over. Jonah preached 40 days until judgement. It rained forty days and nights for Noah. Christ waited for Israel 40 days after His ressurection before he ascended into heaven, just like he waited forty years for them while they went through the wilderness.
The Lord says He will not cause pain without something new being born. After the solar eclipse and blood moon comes the Day of The Lord. So, "as in the days of Noah" it will be "in the second month, and the seventeenth day of the month the fountains of the deep were opened up."

The Great Light That Shines in the Darkness
The people that walked in darkness have seen a great light: they that dwell in the land of the shadow of death, upon them hath the light shined.
Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.
Romans 10:17 [Full Chapter]
So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.
Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.
In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.
Matthew 25 New King James Version (NKJV)
The Parable of the Wise and Foolish Virgins
25 “Then the kingdom of heaven shall be likened to ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom. 2 Now five of them were wise, and five were foolish. 3 Those who were foolish took their lamps and took no oil with them, 4 but the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.5 But while the bridegroom was delayed, they all slumbered and slept.
6 “And at midnight a cry was heard: ‘Behold, the bridegroom is coming;[a] go out to meet him!’ 7 Then all those virgins arose and trimmed their lamps. 8 And the foolish said to the wise, ‘Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out.’ 9 But the wise answered, saying, ‘No, lest there should not be enough for us and you; but go rather to those who sell, and buy for yourselves.’ 10 And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came, and those who were ready went in with him to the wedding; and the door was shut.
11 “Afterward the other virgins came also, saying, ‘Lord, Lord, open to us!’ 12 But he answered and said, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, I do not know you.’
13 “Watch therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour[b] in which the Son of Man is coming.
