Prophetic

I wrote these words 48 hrs. BEFORE the assassination attempt on the life of Donald Trump:

I am not writing this to disturb you; I am writing this to let you know what I see and, if I am correct, how to pray. Pray for DIVINE PROTECTION for Donald Trump. Pray for him to have a divine reset of advisors. Trump needs a reset in himself and his advisors. I think the strain and fire that he has gone through with the FBI raid, 700 years of threatened prison, and $400 million in unjust fines have burned him. I am praying for a divine oil to come upon him to heal the burn. I am praying for new wise Kingdom-sensitive voices to emerge in his inner circle.

I fear that the major elections that have already occurred in England, Italy, France, and the Netherlands are predictors of what is coming to the United States in 2024. We saw a phenomenon called “snap” elections. France and the U.K. had a short, disrupted cycle where conservatives got beaten badly.

This is a warning sign for America. A “snap” reset of election dynamics can happen to us also as Biden exits and a shiny new Democrat like Kamala leaps to the field in August with billions of dollars in free media propagandizing the nation right up to a short “snap” election in November.

This is the hour when we must be vigilant like never before. I do not despair. The God who intervened by a millimeter to escape an assassin’s bullet still rules. I believe God is raising up a REMNANT in America for the sake of the world. I expect God to give us a window to impact nations that stand for Christ and will not turn against Israel.

Few in the West have the courage to admit what I am about to say—Christianity alone is the key factor that produced the happiest, freest, and most prosperous nations on earth. Period. I believe this can be statistically proven. Data has been compiled that verifies that the Judeo-Christian influence is the secret ingredient that produces religious freedom, business innovation, and national prosperity.

And it is the loss of Christian influence that explains why great nations are in danger of collapse. This is why we must go to the nations to mobilize the Church!

You may even feel the call to GO WITH ME in the months to come! Our task is not just evangelism—I am talking about full-scale Holy Ghost reformation alongside revival. The prayers of the hidden ones in the nations are about to be answered in a great visitation.

If you are able to help support Lance Wallnau Ministries this month with your generous donation of any amount, I will send you a copy of my full-length teaching, The Rise of God’s Remnant, on USB, which will explain to you what is in store for the United States and the world. With this knowledge, you will be able to discern the signs of the times and be positioned for what lies ahead as one of Heaven’s REMNANT in these End Times. Visit this link: lancewallnau.com/remnant

Passover to Pentecost

Counting the Omer – First Fruits to Shavuot
May 23, 2023 - Day 45 - Psalm 119:1-8
_______________________________________
"And you shall count for yourselves from the day after the Sabbath...Count fifty days to the day after the seventh Sabbath; then you shall offer a new grain offering to the Lord." Leviticus 23: 15-16

The Counting of the Omer covers a fifty-day period of time from the Feast of First Fruits until Shavuot (Pentecost). Beginning with the day of First Fruits, each subsequent day is counted for seven complete weeks, plus one day - fifty days. During the Counting of the Omer, we "count up" to the Feast of Shavuot (the 50th Day) with each day of counting, adding to the growing expectation of what Pentecost will bring. Join with us at the Branch as each day we are looking to Pentecost during the counting of the Omer, each day we will post a verse from Psalms 119 to read and meditate upon, causing us to review the condition of our hearts before God.

Aleph א
Psalms 119:1-8
1 Blessed are the undefiled in the way, Who walk in the law of the LORD!
2 Blessed are those who keep His testimonies, Who seek Him with the whole heart!
3 They also do no iniquity; They walk in His ways.
4 You have commanded us To keep Your precepts diligently.
5 Oh, that my ways were directed To keep Your statutes!
6 Then I would not be ashamed, When I look into all Your commandments.
7 I will praise You with uprightness of heart, When I learn Your righteous judgments.
8 I will keep Your statutes; Oh, do not forsake me utterly!

"And you are witnesses of these things. "Behold, I send the Promise of My Father upon you; but tarry in the city of Jerusalem until you are endued with power from on high," Luke 24:48-49

Each year the Counting of the Omer is completed with a growing expectation of what the LORD will do on Shavuot (Pentecost), the fiftieth day. The disciples of Yeshua have been keeping the Feasts of Passover and Firstfruits for generations, when suddenly they became witnesses of Yeshua as: the Passover Lamb, sacrificed, and raised from the dead on Firstfruits. The LORD caused them to understand all the Scriptures related to His death, burial, and resurrection. Now they waited, counting the Omer with great expectation, for this, "Promise of the Father… power from on high" That Yeshua told them to expect.
The disciples would not have looked for this outpouring during the first week of the Omer, or even on day forty-five of the counting. They would have understood the LORD'S instruction to "tarry in the city of Jerusalem." This was the place they were to stay, counting the Omer, each day with a greater anticipation and each week being that much closer to the Fiftieth day.
As you read the final sections of Psalms 119, you complete the seventh week of the counting, and at last, Shavuot arrives. Whatever the LORD has planned for the Fiftieth day is soon to come upon you; the outpouring, the breakthrough, the blessing, the "Promise of the Father," that you have been tarrying for – waiting with expectation, only hours away.

The Counting of the Omer is almost complete! As you meditate on the words of Psalms 119, remember the promises of His blessings and cry out to the LORD with growing expectation. The Passover brought your Salvation by the Blood of the Lamb. First fruits brought you new life in Him and the victory over death. What will Shavuot bring at the hand of the LORD? His desire is to bless and prosper you: physically, financially, spiritually and emotionally. What is your expectation? What is the desire of your counting? What are you personally "tarrying" for?
"Behold, I send the promise of my father upon you…"

Psalms 119:169-176
161 Princes persecute me without a cause, But my heart stands in awe of Your Word.
162 I rejoice at Your Word As one who finds great treasure.
163 I hate and abhor lying, But I love Your law.
164 Seven times a day I praise You, Because of Your righteous judgments.
165 Great peace have those who love Your law, And nothing causes them to stumble.
166 LORD, I hope for Your salvation, And I do Your commandments.
167 My soul keeps Your testimonies, And I love them exceedingly.
168 I keep Your precepts and Your testimonies, For all my ways are before You.

And He said to me, "Its' done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. I will give of the fountain of the water of life freely to him who thirsts. "He who overcomes shall inherit all things, and I will be his God..."
Revelation 21:6-7

As each section of Psalms 119 begins with a subsequent Hebrew Letter, David is expressing the eternal, all-encompassing, nature of the Word of God. With every beginning of a new litany of praise, the King is putting to song a powerful concept of the truth of Torah. In every aspect of his life, with each word that begins his praise, and every letter that forms his worship, David praises God for the Torah. Its' precepts and direction apply to all the areas of his life: morning to night, beginning to end, and Aleph to Tav. "The Torah is the expression of the King". The Torah foreshadows and reveals Yeshua Himself, the Alpeh and Tav, the beginning and the end. Yeshua is the Beginning of all things as well as the End. He is God and there is no other! The LORD created all things with the words of His utterance and the breath of His Spirit. The very letters of His words form life and reflect the image of the creator.

"For if you believed Moses, you would believe Me; for he wrote about Me. "But if you do not believe his writings, how will you believe My words?" John 5:46-47

This Word became flesh and dwelt among us. The unchanging Word took on human form, that we might see Him and believe. Yeshua taught His disciples that He, "did not come to destroy the Torah, but to bring it to a greater understanding", (Matthew 5:17).
Yeshua clearly stated that His disciples would first have to believe and understand Moses' writings in the Torah, before they could believe and understand Yeshua's words – Aleph to Tav, the Alpha and Omega…..the Beginning and the End.

"Again, the kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field, which a man found and hid; and for joy over it he goes and sells all that he has and buys that field. "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 13:44-46

King David rejoiced in the Torah of God and compared it to finding great treasure. In the Torah, David found a peace that steadied his soul, the truth that awed his heart, and the hope of Salvation in the LORD. As the King searched the Torah, meditated on the Word, and applied the precepts to his life, he perceived the wonders of the treasure God had given. It was David's steadfastness and determination that revealed the true worth of the Torah, and directed his footsteps in the commands of God.

The imagery of finding hidden treasure has a powerful impact on people. Almost by definition, this treasure must be sought out; it is not laying on the surface or clearly visible to all who pass by. Yeshua used this imagery of hidden treasure to describe the Kingdom of Heaven. In His parable, you can imagine countless people walking through the field, perhaps hurrying to another destination, passing by the hidden treasure and missing the value reserved for the seeker. The field itself did not appear valuable, but what was hidden beneath the surface rendered the field priceless, and worth surrendering every other possession to obtain the treasure.

How many people walked along the path with Yeshua, listened to His teaching, and even witnessed His miracles, but did not perceive the treasure of the Kingdom within Him. By seeing only the surface, we can miss the hidden value, and looking with human judgement, we can be blinded to heavenly treasure.

Yeshua, His Kingdom, and the Word, Treasure given by God, priceless and incomparable. To the casual observer, their worth may not be perceived, but to the seeker, the hungry, the humble, and the redeemed, they are a gift beyond human value. They are the pearl of great price, the very Word uttered by the LORD, and the Salvation of the Living God.

Psalms 119: 153-160
153 Consider my affliction and deliver me, For I do not forget Your law.
154 Plead my cause and redeem me; Revive me according to Your word.
155 Salvation is far from the wicked, For they do not seek Your statutes.
156 Great are Your tender mercies, O LORD; Revive me according to Your judgments.
157 Many are my persecutors and my enemies, Yet I do not turn from Your testimonies.
158 I see the treacherous, and am disgusted, Because they do not keep Your word.
159 Consider how I love Your precepts; Revive me, O LORD, according to Your lovingkindness.
160 The entirety of Your word is truth, And every one of Your righteous judgments endures forever.

"For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. “For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved." John 3:16-17

King David, a warrior who knew persecution and affliction, often pleaded with the LORD for restoration and salvation. David understood how a King's decree brings order to one's life, so he calls out for the LORD to "Revive me according to your judgments." "Revive me according to your word."
Yeshua is the one who gives life, who quickens our heart. In the middle of our distress and troubles, we call upon the LORD to revive us. God sent Yeshua to reveal the fullness of His Salvation to the world. The Torah reveals the very nature and character of the LORD;
• The Torah/ Commandments & Statutes is His teaching, instruction, guidance, and direction; it is the mercy, grace, love, and the Word of God.
• The Torah guides and directs your life, giving you wisdom to handle situations, how to treat your neighbor, and how to worship God. God's desire is that you know Him, and not just the Torah. The Torah directs you to Yeshua, (Remember John 1:1-2 and reveals your need for Salvation.
• The Torah reflects the image of the Creator and the holiness of …Jesus Yeshua is the LIVING TORAH) HIS NATURE. In the fullness of time Elohim / God became incarnate to reveal Himself still further to us; that we might see His face, hear His voice, and follow Him as His disciples.
• The Torah shows you the perfected lifestyle and Yeshua demonstrates life in the Torah by the Spirit.
• The Torah exposes your sinfulness and Yeshua reveals your Salvation.
• The Torah is teaching and Yeshua is the Teacher.
• The Torah is direction and Yeshua is the destination. The Torah describes the tabernacle and Yeshua dwells in you HIS Temple. The Torah in stone is the letter of the Law, and Yeshua in the flesh is the Spirit of the Torah which is life, everlasting life……think on that one for awhile……SPIRIT & TRUTH!

Psalms 119: 145-152
145 I cry out with my whole heart; Hear me, O LORD! I will keep Your statutes.
146 I cry out to You; Save me, and I will keep Your testimonies.
147 I rise before the dawning of the morning, And cry for help; I hope in Your word.
148 My eyes are awake through the night watches, That I may meditate on Your word.
149 Hear my voice according to Your lovingkindness; O LORD, revive me according to Your justice.
150 They draw near who follow after wickedness; They are far from Your law.
151 You are near, O LORD, And all Your commandments are truth.
152 Concerning Your testimonies, I have known of old that You have founded them forever.

"And shall God not avenge His own elect who cry out day and night to Him, though He bears long with them? "I tell you that He will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will He really find faith on the earth?" Luke 18:7-8

King David cried out to God day and night for His deliverance, in accordance with His faithfulness, and in hope of God's fulfillment of His promises. The King searched the Torah and came before the Lord with a great expectation. In Yeshua's parable, the woman cries out day and night for favor. Because of the woman's persistence, the unjust ruler eventually acts upon her plea. Yeshua used the story to teach His disciples a lesson about faithfulness, prayer, and expectation. If even an unjust ruler could be moved by the persistence of the woman, how much more should we expect our loving, just, and merciful God to respond when we consistently cry out to Him? King David practiced this principle and Yeshua desired for His disciples to take it to heart. When your prayers seem unanswered, or your pleas appear unheard, do you shrink back from asking in discouragement and disappointment, or do you press in persistently, confident in the Lord's response? Yeshua says that he "bears long" with those who cry out. His words reflect the process of pregnancy and birth. The expectant mother bears long with her developing child. She nurtures the life within her, feels the stirring, bears the weight, until the moment of delivery arrives! When you cry out expectantly and plead with persistence, God's answers are assured and His faithfulness unchanging. Bearing long births prayer, trust, and expectation, and the Lord bears with you until your moment of breakthrough and the emergence of new life.

On this 40th Day of Counting……THIS IS WHAT TOOK PLACE..Yeshua Ascended into Heaven!

And He said to them, "Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation. "He who has believed and has been baptized shall be saved; but he who has disbelieved shall be condemned. "These signs will accompany those who have believed: in My name they will cast out demons, they will speak with new tongues; they will pick up serpents, and if they drink any deadly poison, it will not hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover." So then, when the Lord Jesus had spoken to them, He was received up into heaven and sat down at the right hand of God. And they went out and preached everywhere, while the Lord worked with them, and confirmed the word by the signs that followed.] [And they promptly reported all these instructions to Peter and his companions. And after that, Jesus Himself sent out through them from east to west the sacred and imperishable proclamation of eternal salvation.]
Mark 16:15-20
Tzaddi צ
Psalms 119: 137-144
137 Righteous are You, O LORD, And upright are Your judgments.
138 Your testimonies, which You have commanded, Are righteous and very faithful.
139 My zeal has consumed me, Because my enemies have forgotten Your words.
140 Your word is very pure; Therefore Your servant loves it.
141 I am small and despised, Yet I do not forget Your precepts.
142 Your righteousness is an everlasting righteousness, And Your law is truth.
143 Trouble and anguish have overtaken me, Yet Your commandments are my delights.
144 The righteousness of Your testimonies is everlasting; Give me understanding, and I shall live.

"Then He turned to the woman and said to Simon, "Do you see this woman? I entered your house; you gave Me no water for My feet, but she has washed My feet with her tears and wiped them with the hair of her head." You gave Me no kiss, but this woman has not ceased to kiss My feet since the time I came in. "You did not anoint My head with oil, but this woman has anointed My feet with fragrant oil." Therefore I say to you, her sins, which are many, are forgiven, for she loved much. But to whom little is forgiven, the same loves little."
Luke 7:44-47

When the woman who was caught committing adultery fell at the feet of Yeshua, it was from the place of brokenness and forgiveness that she poured her oil upon his feet. The fragrance of this anointment filled the room where Yeshua was sitting, and He used her actions to teach his disciples about the power of worship and the position of prayer.
It can be easy to forget the moment when you first encountered the Lord; fell at His feet and called upon His name. That broken place brought forgiveness can seem as distant as Calvary, when the aroma of worship fades from memory.
King David, the simple woman, and each of us, have been forgiven much. Once declared righteous, we can forget our brokenness, the shame of sin, the great debt forgiven, and the unfailing love that found you in disgrace and brought you to honor.

The Word is not a burdensome walk or a heavy yoke. It is the path to salvation in Yeshua. His Word is a vessel filled with fragrant oil. He is the Living Word (Torah) and it is powered by His Holy Spirit…….You pour this oil upon every aspect of your life so that it's aroma fills your dwelling. The oil of His Word……Torah does not ooze from religious pride or ritual performance; it flows from the place of humble brokenness, heartfelt love, and genuine gratitude. You pour it out as praise for the Lord who called you, worship of the One who forgave your great debt, and love for the King who is Yeshua – the Salvation of the Living God.

PEH פ
Psalms 119: 129-136
129 Your testimonies are wonderful; Therefore my soul keeps them.
130 The entrance of Your words gives light; It gives understanding to the simple.
131 I opened my mouth and panted, For I longed for Your commandments.
132 Look upon me and be merciful to me, As Your custom is toward those who love Your name.
133 Direct my steps by Your word, And let no iniquity have dominion over me.
134 Redeem me from the oppression of man, That I may keep Your precepts.
135 Make Your face shine upon Your servant, And teach me Your statutes.
136 Rivers of water run down from my eyes, Because men do not keep Your law.

" Now after six days Jesus took Peter, James, and John his brother, led them up on a high mountain by themselves; and He was transfigured before them. His face shone like the sun, and His clothes became as white as the light. And behold, Moses and Elijah appeared to them, talking with Him" Matthew 17:1-3

When Yeshua's disciples saw his transfiguration, they saw Moses, Elijah, and Yeshua, in glory. Yeshua's earthly garments became His light – reflecting the eternal nature of His heavenly raiment. His face shone like the sun, illuminated like Moses, with the glory of God's presence.

Supernatural and miraculous as these events are, David links this expression with the natural application of the Torah. "Teach me your statutes" he implores. David understood that the glory of God was given in the Torah, and this glory would be reflected upon David's face when he walked in the Lord's instruction. David's life would be a testimony of God's presence. Those who saw the King would see the favor, blessing, and increase of the Lord reflected in His lifestyle.

When your life is conformed to the teaching and instruction of His Instructions “WORD”, your appearance is changed. You are transformed into the image and likeness – the glory of God. His face shines upon your face; you become a testimony, full of wonder. When others see you, they see what the disciples saw on the mountain – Moses, Elijah, and Yeshua, in glory! Moses the deliverer, who by the hand of Yehovah
Our God, led the children of Israel out of the bo***ge of Egypt, and delivered the Torah from God at Mt. Sinai. Elijah the prophet, who spoke for God, displayed His power, and had dominion over heaven and earth until he was carried into the heavens by God's own chariot of light.
And Yeshua the Messiah, who fulfilled the Torah, offered his life as the Lamb, and now rules and reigns as the King of Kings and Lord of lords.

"Make your face shine upon your servant, and teach me your statutes."
