9 thoughts on “Where Are Israel and The World Heading?

  1. Regarding this quote :
    ” the promise that Jacob and Joseph will come together as one in God’s hand is upon us as spoken by Ezekiel in chapter 37. ”

    This refers to the 2 sticks in Ezekiel’s hand that become one. The one stick is called Judah and the other is called Joseph or Ephraim. Jacob is not one of the sticks.

    Ezekiel 37:16,19
    16 Moreover, thou son of man, take thee one stick, and write upon it, For Judah, and for the children of Israel his companions: then take another stick, and write upon it, For Joseph, the stick of Ephraim, and for all the house of Israel his companions:

    19 Say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will take the stick of Joseph, which is in the hand of Ephraim, and the tribes of Israel his fellows, and will put them with him, even with the stick of Judah, and make them one stick, and they shall be one in mine hand.

    This is the House of Judah, the southern Kingdom, and the house of Israel, the northern Kingdom,
    becoming one which is called the ” whole ” house of Israel.

    Jacob is not a stick becoming one with Joseph. Jacob refers to all Israel not a half.

  2. Dianne, thank you for all your hard work! I was pleasantly surprised to read this last night as I have been going through Isaiah in my personal reading. Just this week I was also reading Matthew 23 & 24 in our family reading and I saw a lot of correlations between Isaiah and Matthew and the following is what I had noted down that I’d like to share.

    Remnant Stones, Plants & Fruit, Diaspora Gathering
    Isaiah 26:1 In that day shall this song be sung in the land of Yehudah: we have a strong city; yeshu`ah (salvation) will he appoint for walls and bulwarks (KJV).
    Stones are what was used to make up the walls of protection and that will be our salvation “yeshuah”. Then at the end of the chapter (26:20), it describes entering into a place of protection to hide until the indignation passes by. Matthew 24:2 says not one stone of the temple structure will be left upon another. The woman at the well was told no longer in Jerusalem or Samaria would you worship but the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and in truth (John 4:20-24). Isaiah 26:2 talks about the righteous nation entering through the gates of the city, a righteous nation who guards the truth. We are taught that the temple is being built out of us being living stones (1 Peter 2:5). We are also told that Yahusha is the stone that the builders rejected, but He has become the chief cornerstone (Acts 4:11) and that we are built upon Him (Eph. 2:19-22).
    My thoughts are that it was prophesied that there would be a scattering to spread all throughout the Earth, and the stones would be scattered all over the Earth, just as the wheat and the tares would grow all over the field. The gathering would take place by the command of the Messiah, when He sends for His angels to gather up the elect (Matt 24:31). In the meantime, our responsibility isn’t yet to be looking to be gathered, but we are to be solid and strong like a stone wherever we’ve been scattered. We are to be ready as faithful and wise servants (Matt. 24:42-47). His spiritual house is being built all over the world and the awakening to our Messiah as Savior (Jacob’s awakening) and His expectation of all of us to follow His righteous commands (Joseph’s awakening to Torah) is what will change the world and spread the seed everywhere in this dispersion. Matthew 24:12 attributes the love of many growing cold due to lawlessness while Revelation 14:12 gives the description of the persevering saints as those who keep the commandments of Yahuah AND hold to faith in Yahusha. Our Mighty One was able to protect the obedient in Egypt, who followed His command for the Passover lamb, He is also able to protect us in scattered positions all over the Earth just as Isaiah 26:20 describes Him initiating the call to be hidden away from the indignation.
    Additionally, Isaiah chapter 27:2-5 describes a vineyard and contrasts a vineyard of red wine with weeds and thorns coming up against Him in battle. Once again sounding like a field correlation to the world and contrasting that the plants that grow there will each experience different fates. He sent Jacob away in Isaiah 27:7-9 and the scattered remnant of both houses is what will flower and fruit all over the earth (vs 6) in the face of opposition of Idol and sun worshipers. Isaiah Verse 12-13 sounds similar to the gathering of His people at the command of the blowing of the great shofar as was said in Matthew 24:31 about His angels gathering His elect from the four winds. He would have gathered Jacob at the time of His coming like a hen gathers her chicks but THEY would not (Matt 23:37). Matthew 24:40-41 uses the field workers and grain workers to again compare with the gathering and separating. Our wonderful Creator tasked Adam as a caretaker of the earth to be a tiller of the ground and He intends to reap a bountiful harvest as He is the rightful owner of the field and vineyard.
    “You are the light of the world”, “you are the salt of the earth”. As my wife likes to say “Bloom where you’re planted”. May we exhort one another to love and good deeds (Hebrews 10:24) and produce fruit consistent with repentance (Matt. 3:8) wherever we find ourselves planted and may we remain strong as living stones standing for truth until the day He gathers us!

  3. God bless you Dianne and thank you for your writings.

    Those who will not hear the messengers of peace, shall be made to hear the messengers of war. But where the heart is fixed, trusting in God, it is kept in peace, and is not afraid. Mathew Henry
