Beloved people of God,
 
this prophetic word serves as a glimpse into the future and points to the biblical year 5787 | 2027 that lies ahead. We encourage you to pray over this word and to be led by the Holy Spirit as we, as disciples, carry the Father’s plan for the coming year in prayer.
 
On the evening of September 11, 2026, we, as the body of Christ, together with the Jewish people, have entered the new biblical year 5787, also known as the blessing cycle or ‘civil year.’
 
For us as disciples in Christ, who have been grafted as wild olive shoots into the precious olive tree, it is vital to acknowledge this, because we participate in the fatness of the root, in the anointing contained therein (cf. Romans 11:17-18).
 
Romans 11:17-18:
17 If some of the branches have been broken off, and you, though a wild olive shoot, have been grafted in among the others and now share in the nourishing sap from the olive root, 18 do not consider yourself to be superior to those other branches. If you do, consider this: You do not support the root, but the root supports you.
 
The Apple of God’s Eye and The Decade ‘Pe’ and the Expression of Knowledge
 
According to Zechariah 2:8b, Israel is the apple of God’s eye with Jerusalem functioning as His pupil, so for us as Christians from the gentile nations it wise to look at our lives and environment through Israel. For us, this will result in walking confidently and with enlightened eyes into our future with Jesus Christ.
 
Zechariah 2:8b:
… 8b for whoever touches you (Note: Israel) touches the apple of his eye.
 
The revelations we receive by this approach contain strategies helping us to position our lives in the center of the will and peace of God, just as Epaphras prayed (cf. Colossians 4:12).
 
Colossians 4:12:
12 Epaphras, who is one of you and a servant of Christ Jesus, sends greetings. He is always wrestling in prayer for you, that you may stand firm in all the will of God, mature and fully assured.
 
As God’s people we are currently in the biblical cycle of the decade of the ‘eighties’ linked to the Hebrew letter ‘Pe’ which, amongst others, means ‘mouth’. This is the decade connected to the verbal ‘expression of knowledge’, bringing forth that which was spoken through words. It also brings forth manifestations of the spoken words for the years to come within this biblical decade and lays foundations for times to come (cf. Habakkuk 2:14 i.c.w. Proverbs 18:21).
 
Habakkuk 2:14:
14 For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the LORD as the waters cover the sea.
 
Proverbs 18:21:
21 The tongue has the power of life and death, and those who love it will eat its fruit.
 
According to Isaiah 55:10-11, every word that comes from God’s mouth manifests itself on earth.
 
Isaiah 55:10-11:
10 As the rain and the snow come down from heaven, and do not return to it without watering the earth and making it bud and flourish, so that it yields seed for the sower and bread for the eater, 11 so is my word that goes out from my mouth: it will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it.
 
The Hebrew letter ‘Zayin’ and ‘Fine Gold’
 
The biblical year 5787 is associated with the Hebrew letter ‘Zayin’, which has the numerical value ‘7’, is linked to a ‘crowned sword’, and pictographically represents a ‘scale’. Furthermore, Zayin’ is derived from a root word meaning ‘nourishment, livelihood’, or ‘food’. The number ‘7’ in a biblical context also means ‘perfection, completion, divine rest in the form of the Sabbath, and wisdom’ (cf. Genesis 2:2-3; Proverbs 9:1).
 
Genesis 2:2-3:
2 By the seventh day God had finished the work he had been doing; so on the seventh day he rested from all his work.
3 Then God blessed the seventh day and made it holy, because on it he rested from all the work of creating that he had done.
 
Proverbs 9:1:
1 Wisdom has built her house; she has set up its seven pillars.
 
The numerical value of the name of the letter ‘Zayin’ is ‘67’ (Zayin-7, Yod-10, Nun-50) and corresponds to the value of the Hebrew word ‘bînāh’, which means ‘insight, understanding.’ (Note: explanation of the word taken from the Elberfelder Study Bible regarding the Hebrew word ‘bînāh—insight’ with the word key number: 1025)
 
The Hebrew word formed from the letter ‘Pe’ and the letter ‘Zayin’ is ‘pās’ and means ‘gold, fine gold, pure gold.’ (Note: word definition taken from the Elberfelder Study Bible regarding the Hebrew word ‘pās—fine gold’, with the word key number: 6469)
 
In a prophetic context, ‘fine gold’ can be understood, among other things, as ‘the glory of God’ and ‘the riches of faith.’ It is faith that comes from fellowship with the Word of God — that is, from hearing the Word of God (cf. Romans 10:17 i.c.w. Revelation 3:18a).
 
Romans 10:17:
17 Consequently, faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word about Christ.
 
Revelation 3:18a:
18a I counsel you to buy from me gold refined in the fire, so that you can become rich; …
 
It is the structure of the bride, or the wife of the Lamb, in the form of the descending spiritual principality as a city from heaven, made of pure gold like glass, from which the glory of God shines forth (cf. Revelation 21:18.21.23).
 
Revelation 21:18.21.23:
18 The wall was made of jasper, and the city of pure gold, as pure as glass. …
21 The twelve gates were twelve pearls, each gate made of a single pearl. The great street of the city was of gold, as pure as transparent glass. …
23 The city does not need the sun or the moon to shine on it, for the glory of God gives it light, and the Lamb is its lamp.
 
The Vision of the Golden Staircase and God’s Greatness
 
One of the believers in our ministry community received a vision in which she saw a golden staircase spiraling upward, which coincided with the beginning of a new cycle of time.
 
A sapphire-blue carpet studded with stars lay on the staircase, while seashells fell down the stairs from above. Each seashell contained a radiant pearl. The light from the pearls revealed a vast expanse where a tunnel became visible; within it, a believer was riding on a moving train and was being transported to the next realm.
 
Once there, the person stood before God the Father, who appeared in all His majesty, so that the person could see only the hem of His robe. Then the Father lifted the person up with His right arm and wove them into His robe. A tinkling sound could be heard from beneath the robe, followed by silence. After this, God’s breath could be heard, and it became clear that everything in that place began to move through His breath.
 
God’s greatness became apparent in the form of swimming whales that led to a river, where houses, other buildings, and walls were located.
 
Then a large green tree, full of fruit and light, became visible. From the light appeared a robe, moved by the wind. Within the robe, a door of light formed, before which stood a bride. The bride was drawn into the light, while gemstones fell from the door.
 
Interpretation of the Vision
 
It may indicate that God wants to draw us —as sons and the bride of Christ— into a new spiritual realm within His cycles of time, which influence temporary, earthly time from eternity. As God’s people, new, elevated pathways await us in the form of gateways through which we must pass by bringing closure to the past, so that we may stand in the greater and higher glory of the LORD.
 
In doing so, we must observe the boundaries set for us by God in Christ Jesus, for it is only through them that our mission and the quality inherent in it become apparent. In addition, the focus is on the priestly movement, which is linked to a close relationship with the Father, as we live in the world but are not of this world, through the practice of prayer (cf. John 15:19; John 17:15-16; Ephesians 6:18).
 
John 15:19:
19 If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own. As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world. That is why the world hates you.
 
John 17:15-16:
15 My prayer is not that you take them out of the world but that you protect them from the evil one.
16 They are not of the world, even as I am not of it.
 
Ephesians 6:18:
18 And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people.
 
We are called to walk in the Spirit of God and to allow ourselves to be led into the great things the LORD has in store for this time and the time to come (cf. Genesis 2:7 i.c.w. John 3:8; John 20:22).
 
Genesis 2:7:
7 Then the Lord God formed a man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being.
 
John 3:8:
‘… 8 The wind blows wherever it pleases. You hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit.’
 
John 20:22:
22 And with that he breathed on them and said, ‘Receive the Holy Spirit. …’
 
This may involve a shift in mission to a new place of calling, so that we may open our mouths and speak to people with the wisdom of God. Closeness to the Holy Spirit gives rise to relationships, ministries, and values (Note: houses, buildings, walls) that are in harmony with the Word of God, leading to a deepening of the believers’ identity in Christ within the tribes of Israel and the apostles of the Lamb — which encompasses the one new man in Christ (Note: gemstones; cf. Exodus 28:15-21 i.c.w. Revelation 21:14.19-20; Ephesians 2:13-16).
 
Exodus 28:15-21:
15 ‘Fashion a breastpiece for making decisions – the work of skilled hands. Make it like the ephod: of gold, and of blue, purple and scarlet yarn, and of finely twisted linen.
16 It is to be square – a span long and a span wide – and folded double.
17 Then mount four rows of precious stones on it. The first row shall be carnelian, chrysolite and beryl; 18 the second row shall be turquoise, lapis lazuli and emerald; 19 the third row shall be jacinth, agate and amethyst; 20 the fourth row shall be topaz, onyx and jasper. Mount them in gold filigree settings.
21 There are to be twelve stones, one for each of the names of the sons of Israel, each engraved like a seal with the name of one of the twelve tribes.
 
Revelation 21:14.19-20:
14 The wall of the city had twelve foundations, and on them were the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb. …
19 The foundations of the city walls were decorated with every kind of precious stone. The first foundation was jasper, the second sapphire, the third agate, the fourth emerald, 20 the fifth onyx, the sixth ruby, the seventh chrysolite, the eighth beryl, the ninth topaz, the tenth turquoise, the eleventh jacinth, and the twelfth amethyst.
 
Ephesians 2:13-16:
13 But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far away have been brought near by the blood of Christ.
14 For he himself is our peace, who has made the two groups one and has destroyed the barrier, the dividing wall of hostility, 15 by setting aside in his flesh the law with its commands and regulations. His purpose was to create in himself one new humanity out of the two, thus making peace, 16 and in one body to reconcile both of them to God through the cross, by which he put to death their hostility.
 
In conclusion, in light of the vision described and its meaning, this may be a process of spiritual maturity in which we, as saints in Christ, are called to enter into a deeper understanding of the priesthood in our Lord Jesus Christ:
 
  • within its established boundaries,
  • into the new season prepared by God,
  • into a deeper intimacy with the Father,
  • into the great things prepared by God,
  • into new relationships with saints,
  • and to walk in them, as well as to speak the words of wisdom that the LORD inspires.
In this process, it will be necessary for us, in faith, to speak the words of the LORD with a pure heart, so that others may enter into a new dimension of faith or come into contact with it (cf. Psalm 12:6 i.c.w. Revelation 3:18a).
 
Psalm 12:6:
6 And the words of the Lord are flawless, like silver purified in a crucible, like gold refined seven times.
 
Revelation 3:18a:
18a I counsel you to buy from me gold refined in the fire, so that you can become rich; …
 
It is the wisdom and insight or understanding of God that cause our words to resound publicly before people, so that we may enter a new dimension of His Word and the faith that flows from it (cf. Hebrews 4:12-13 i.c.w. Proverbs 8:1-3.19).
 
Hebrews 4:12-13:
12 For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.
13 Nothing in all creation is hidden from God’s sight. Everything is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of him to whom we must give account.
 
Proverbs 8:1-3.19:
1 Does not wisdom call out? Does not understanding raise her voice?
2 At the highest point along the way, where the paths meet, she takes her stand; 3 beside the gate leading into the city, at the entrance, she cries aloud: …
19 My fruit is better than fine gold; what I yield surpasses choice silver.
 
The Admonition of God’s Wisdom and the Seven Pillars
 
Therefore, it is necessary for us as disciples that we listen to the admonition of God’s wisdom, which comes from above, so that we may come under the influence of its outpouring (cf. Proverbs 1:23 i.c.w. James 3:17).
 
Proverbs 1:23:
23 Repent at my rebuke! Then I will pour out my thoughts to you, I will make known to you my teachings.
 
James 3:17:
17 But the wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure; then peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere.
 
Only God’s wisdom enables us to understand the times in accordance with God’s eternal plan from a higher spiritual perspective. Wisdom from above transcends mere rational thought and pure knowledge by addressing the heart and embracing it in its truth. As already mentioned, it is said that the wisdom of God has built its realm of relationship and fellowship in the form of a house in the presence of the crowned Word, represented by seven carved pillars.
 
It is the wisdom of God that aligns the truth of the Word within us with the correct understanding, in accordance with the will of the Heavenly Father. The Word of God is pure in its origin, yet it brings about a process of purification within us that helps us to recognize the truth more and more correctly. This process of sanctification enables us to live in the glorious freedom of the sons of God as those who have been redeemed — for which Christ suffered (cf. Psalm 12:6 i.c.w. John 8:31-32; Romans 8:21).
 
Psalm 12:6:
6 And the words of the Lord are flawless, like silver purified in a crucible, like gold refined seven times.
 
John 8:31-32:
31 To the Jews who had believed him, Jesus said, ‘If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples.
32 Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.’
 
Romans 8:21:
… 21 that the creation itself will be liberated from its bondage to decay and brought into the freedom and glory of the children [Note: sons] of God.
 
The carved state of the columns can resemble that of an artfully crafted woodcarving, in which a specific pattern is added to each column. As a result, the structural quality of the columns is elevated to a more refined state and thus to a higher level than before.
 
If we give divine wisdom more room in our lives than before, we are called to set aside our acquired knowledge so that the truth brought forth by God’s wisdom may increase within us (cf. John 3:30).
 
John 3:30:
‘… 30 He must become greater; I must become less.’
 
It is this communion with the wisdom from above that is connected to the solid food and is founded on the sacrifice of Christ — the crucified, risen, and eternally reigning King. Her sacrifice is linked to the realm of mature saints who have trained spiritual senses and can distinguish between good and evil. For they are sheep who hear His voice and follow Jesus Christ as their Shepherd (cf. Proverbs 9:1-3; John 10:27 i.c.w. Hebrews 5:14).
 
Proverbs 9:1-3:
1 Wisdom has built her house; she has set up its seven pillars.
2 She has prepared her meat and mixed her wine; she has also set her table.
3 She has sent out her servants, and she calls from the highest point of the city, …
 
John 10:27:
27 My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me.
 
Hebrews 5:14:
14 But solid food is for the mature, who by constant use have trained themselves to distinguish good from evil.
 
It is the wisdom from above that brings forth a new dynamic of revelatory truth, which is linked to the love feast of the Lamb of God at the table in the form of His flesh and blood, revealed in the visible realm as bread and wine. It is about our identification with Jesus Christ as the only way to redeem us and not desiring any righteousness apart from Him (cf. John 6:51-56).
 
John 6:51-56:
51 I am the living bread that came down from heaven. Whoever eats this bread will live for ever. This bread is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.’
52 Then the Jews began to argue sharply among themselves, ‘How can this man give us his flesh to eat?’
53 Jesus said to them, ‘Very truly I tell you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you.
54 Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise them up at the last day.
55 For my flesh is real food and my blood is real drink.
56 Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me, and I in them.
 
The Accomplished Work and Rest
 
Furthermore, the number ‘7’ is first mentioned in Genesis 2:2-4 in connection with the Sabbath, the day of God’s rest, when God set aside time for His creatures and first allowed humanity to enter into the presence of His rest, so that they might catch their breath.
 
Genesis 2:2-4:
2 By the seventh day God had finished the work he had been doing; so on the seventh day he rested from all his work.
3 Then God blessed the seventh day and made it holy, because on it he rested from all the work of creating that he had done.
4 This is the account of the heavens and the earth when they were created, when the Lord God made the earth and the heavens.
 
We are therefore encouraged to bring projects to completion or to a good finish to enter a new quality of rest. The Hebrew word for ‘rest—nûaḥ’—in the sense of ‘to settle’, is also associated with the movement of the Holy Spirit in the form of a dove, which descended upon the ‘sonship of God’ and settled upon Jesus Christ (cf. Luke 3:22 i.c.w. John 1:32).
 
Luke 3:22:
… 22 and the Holy Spirit descended on him in bodily form like a dove. And a voice came from heaven: ‘You are my Son, whom I love; with you I am well pleased.’
 
John 1:32:
32 Then John gave this testimony: ‘I saw the Spirit come down from heaven as a dove and remain on him. …’
 
Thus, the peace of God is connected to the divine Father-Son relationship, from which we as believers draw strength to continue expanding His kingdom. This strength comes through the presence of the Holy Spirit, as described in Isaiah 11:2.
 
Isaiah 11:2:
2 The Spirit of the Lord will rest [Note:  Hebrew nûaḥ] on him – the Spirit of wisdom and of understanding, the Spirit of counsel and of might, the Spirit of the knowledge and fear of the Lord – …
 
The example of Jesus’ baptism reveals and underscores the importance of the Spirit resting upon us. This is what enables us to walk in the power of the Holy Spirit to carry out the next projects on the Lord’s behalf.
 
The biblical year 5787 holds the potential for growth in the sonship of God as well as in the identity and authority of Jesus Christ. During this time, His Word may involve a transition from one facet of God’s fatherhood to another facet of God’s sonship, or it may be revealed to us through another person.
 
The Sabbath —or the time of rest— symbolizes a person’s encounter with their Heavenly Father, during which they receive a measure of teaching and the Spirit to carry forward the Heavenly Father’s purpose and establish it on a higher level than before in the natural realm.
 
From this perfection, represented by the number ‘7’, we are called to lead the way in a lifestyle of worship and to walk in reverence on a higher level of understanding.
 
The Lifestyle of Worship
 
This transformation involves offering ourselves as a living, holy, and acceptable sacrifice to God (cf. Romans 12:1).
 
Romans 12:1:
1 Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God – this is your true and proper worship.
 
A life of worship involves more than just singing hymns or playing an instrument to honor God at a specific time each week or month; rather, it is rooted in our daily lives lived in righteousness and justice in Christ Jesus. Expressing gratitude to the LORD and finding joy in Him are of particular importance in this context (cf. Psalm 100:4 i.c.w. Amos 5:23-24; Nehemiah 8:10b).
 
Psalm 100:4:
4 Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise; give thanks to him and praise his name.
 
Amos 5:23-24:
23 Away with the noise of your songs! I will not listen to the music of your harps.
24 But let justice roll on like a river, righteousness like a never-failing stream!
 
Nehemiah 8:10b:
‘… 10b Do not grieve, for the joy of the Lord is your strength.’
 
Annual Scripture for the Gregorian year 2027
 
The Herrnhut’ annual scripture for the Gregorian calendar year 2027 is from Isaiah 41:10a which reads:
 
“So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God.”
 
Based on the Bible passage just mentioned, it becomes clear to us that we are called to walk with God, who is Spirit, and to live in His love. As a result, we fearlessly do the works that God, our Heavenly Father, commands us to do in this age and in the age to come (cf. John 4:24a; 1 John 4:18a i.c.w. John 5:19).
 
John 4:24a:
24a God is spirit, …
 
1 John 4:18a:
18a There is no fear in love. …
 
John 5:19:
19 Jesus gave them this answer: ‘Very truly I tell you, the Son can do nothing by himself; he can do only what he sees his Father doing, because whatever the Father does the Son also does.
 
May this biblical year 5787 be a year of spiritual fine gold, marked by our sincerity in being transformed by the revelatory truth of God’s Word and by a fearlessness that stems from living in God’s love and from His peace — a fearlessness that is genuine.
 
Amen and Amen.
 
A joyful and sweet year 5787,
 
Daniel and Tina Glimm with the team of CRAZYCHRISTIANS

PROPHESIED ON THE 16’th OF SEPTEMBER 2026 | 05’th OF TISHREI | ETHANIM 5787, NAJOTH BERLIN – SPANDAU
 
“You are at the end of a period of years of transition, during which you have faced adversity, and now it is grace that stands before you!
 
You are about to leave behind the time of adversity to enter, with the power of God’s grace, into the realm of righteous deeds!
 
The time of silence is coming to an end, for the LORD is on His way to you with the power of freedom!
 
Where ‘escape’ draws near to you, your tongue will be loosed by the power of the Holy Spirit, so that before ‘escape’ can open its mouth, you will speak of the promise of restoration (cf. Ezekiel 33:21a-22)!
 
You become active in faith by putting righteous deeds into practice! It is the presence of the white light that becomes visible from God’s throne room through your works and aligns with God’s power of forgiveness through the blood of the Lamb, says the spirit of the prophet (cf. Revelation 19:8 i.c.w. Revelation 4:3a; Song of Songs 5:10)!
 
Forgive those who have sinned against you, for in doing so the burden is lifted from your shoulders (cf. Isaiah 1:18 i.c.w. Matthew 6:12)!
 
You are called to freedom, to walk in God’s completeness, which goes hand in hand with the “Seven” (cf. Galatians 5:1a i.c.w. Matthew 18:22)! In this completion, you enter the realm of “crowning” and glorification, which enables you to see with the enlightened eyes of the heart (cf. Ephesians 1:17-20)! Through this, you walk in the presence of the golden anointing oil in the form of joy, says the spirit of the prophet (cf. Isaiah 61:3 i.c.w. Hebrews 1:9)!
 
It is supernatural joy that you receive through the Word of God, which is revealing itself to you! As a result, you see in a new way with eyes that perceive (cf. Job 42:5 i.c.w Psalm 119:105)!”
 
Amen and Amen.
 
In His Wisdom,
 
Daniel Glimm

A spiritual battle is raging in these times over God’s pure communication, which He expresses on earth through the power of Jesus’ testimony — which is the spirit of prophecy (cf. Revelation 19:10e).
 
Revelation 19:10e:
… 10e For it is the Spirit of prophecy who bears testimony to Jesus.’
 
It is no coincidence that this statement was made by a messenger said to be sent by God, who clearly bore within himself the glorious presence of God, so that John fell down before him to worship him. In his humility, this messenger pointed to God, to whom alone worship is due (cf. Revelation 19:10a-d i.c.w. Revelation 22:8-9).
 
Revelation 19:10a-d:
10a-d At this I fell at his feet to worship him. But he said to me, ‘Don’t do that! I am a fellow servant with you and with your brothers and sisters who hold to the testimony of Jesus. Worship God! …
 
Revelation 22:8-9:
8 I, John, am the one who heard and saw these things. And when I had heard and seen them, I fell down to worship at the feet of the angel who had been showing them to me.
9 But he said to me, ‘Don’t do that! I am a fellow servant with you and with your fellow prophets and with all who keep the words of this scroll. Worship God!’
 
We must understand that when exercising the gift of prophecy — or when the prophetic dynamic is at work — it is always important that we move forward humbly and selflessly in Christ Jesus.
 
Humility and Selflessness
 
It is the realm of humility that carries within itself the potential for greatness, which manifests at the right time through the will of God combined with the power of grace (cf. Proverbs 3:34 i.c.w. 1 Peter 5:5b-6).
 
Proverbs 3:34:
34 He mocks proud mockers but shows favour to the humble and oppressed.
 
1 Peter 5:5b-6:
…5b All of you, clothe yourselves with humility towards one another, because, ‘God opposes the proud but shows favour to the humble.’
6 Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time.
 
Acts 11:27-28a states that prophets came down from Jerusalem to Antioch, one of whom is named—Agabus.
 
Acts 11:27-28a:
27 During this time some prophets came down from Jerusalem to Antioch.
28a One of them, named Agabus, stood up …
 
As people of God, it is essential for us to work together with the prophets and prophetesses who have pure and humble hearts, and in doing so, to receive God’s dominion authority from the center of His peace (Note: Jerusalem). In this way, the LORD can reveal Himself through the power of His righteousness (Note: Antioch), as Romans 12:19 in conjunction with Hebrews 10:30-31 reveals to us.
 
Romans 12:19:
19 Do not take revenge, my dear friends, but leave room for God’s wrath, for it is written: ‘It is mine to avenge; I will repay,’ says the Lord.
 
Hebrews 10:30-31:
30 For we know him who said, ‘It is mine to avenge; I will repay,’ and again, ‘The Lord will judge his people.’
31 It is a dreadful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.
 
The prophetically designated channel of transmission, in the form of Agabus, carries the power to overcome obstacles and enter the eighth day predestined by God — which is, for us, the first new day. This goes hand in hand with the Father’s joy and His feast of glory, which is Sukkot, the Feast of Tabernacles.
 
In the realm of Jesus’ testimony, there is a great triumphant laughter, because the Holy Spirit hides the revelation from the wise and the intelligent and reveals it to those who, as children of God, are moving forward in the sonship of Christ (cf. Luke 10:21-22 i.c.w. Romans 8:14).
 
Luke 10:21-22:
21 At that time Jesus, full of joy through the Holy Spirit, said, ‘I praise you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and learned, and revealed them to little children. Yes, Father, for this is what you were pleased to do.
22 ‘All things have been committed to me by my Father. No-one knows who the Son is except the Father, and no-one knows who the Father is except the Son and those to whom the Son chooses to reveal him.’
 
Romans 8:14:
14 For those who are led by the Spirit of God are the children [Note: sons] of God.
 
Selflessness in Christ Jesus is required, just as the unnamed prophets descending from Jerusalem reveal, while the prophetic light of Agabus —‘locust, the Father’s joy, beloved, or feast’—from the center of government and peace —Jerusalem— is highlighted by his being named in Antioch which means ‘avenger, persecutor’.
 
The Hunger for God’s Word and Worship
 
The Holy Spirit is instilling in His people a hunger for the Word of God unlike anything we have ever experienced, in order to separate the sheep from the goats (cf. Amos 8:11 i.c.w. Matthew 25:32b-33).
 
Amos 8:11:
11 ‘The days are coming,’ declares the Sovereign Lord, ‘when I will send a famine [Note: hunger] through the land – not a famine of food or a thirst for water, but a famine [Note: hunger] of hearing the words of the Lord.
 
Matthew 25:32b-33:
… 32b, and he will separate the people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats.
33 He will put the sheep on his right and the goats on his left.
 
This lays the foundation for ensuring a pure prophetic flow among God’s people, so that no one adorns themselves with their prophetic gift or takes center stage but rather gives glory to God alone (cf. 2 Peter 1:19-21 i.c.w. Psalm 119:105).
 
2 Peter 1:19-21:
19 We also have the prophetic message as something completely reliable, and you will do well to pay attention to it, as to a light shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts.
20 Above all, you must understand that no prophecy of Scripture came about by the prophet’s own interpretation of things.
21 For prophecy never had its origin in the human will, but prophets, though human, spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.
 
Psalm 119:105:
105 Your word (Note: in the form of the spoken word => Hebrew: ‘dābar’; Greek: ‘rhẹma’) is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path.
 
This leads to a higher quality of worship in spirit and in truth, which is accompanied by a deep devotion that confronts all that exists in deception (cf. John 4:24).
 
John 4:24:
‘… 24 God is spirit, and his worshippers must worship in the Spirit and in truth.’
 
This truth is grounded in the Word of God, which leads to a stronger prophetic presence and resembles the principle found in Acts 21:7-11.
 
Acts 21:7-11:
7 We continued our voyage from Tyre and landed at Ptolemais, where we greeted the brothers and sisters and stayed with them for a day.
8 Leaving the next day, we reached Caesarea and stayed at the house of Philip the evangelist, one of the Seven.
9 He had four unmarried daughters who prophesied.
10 After we had been there a number of days, a prophet named Agabus came down from Judea.
11 Coming over to us, he took Paul’s belt, tied his own hands and feet with it and said, ‘The Holy Spirit says, “In this way the Jewish leaders in Jerusalem will bind the owner of this belt and will hand him over to the Gentiles.” ’
 
This prophetic presence flows from the worship of God, who is Spirit. It descends into our sphere of responsibility and authority (Note: represented by the house of Philip in Caesarea), accelerates our spiritual progress, and thereby saves us time or enables us to gain time more easily. This is connected to the value of ‘redeeming the time’ which is delivered from the influence of evil in this age (cf. Ephesians 5:16).
 
Ephesians 5:16:
… 16 making the most of every opportunity [Note: redeeming the time], because the days are evil.
 
In the case of the aforementioned descending, prophetic presence from the realm of God’s throne room — represented by Judea, which signifies worship (cf. Revelation 4:8-11) —a symbiosis occurs with the prophetic anointing present in the ecclesia.
 
The Twofold Prophetic Presence
 
The prophetic anointing present in the ecclesia is represented by the four prophetic daughters of Philip, resulting in an intensification of God’s communication—the Spirit is upon the earth.
 
To reach this point spiritually, we must allow the Holy Spirit to bring the ‘voyage’ to an end. This marks the conclusion of a period of spiritual training for us, enabling us to apply what we have learned practically in faith and to move forward in maturity, rather than continuing to be ‘carried’—which implies spiritual passivity.
 
When we allow this to happen and put what we have learned into practice, the hand of the LORD moves over us and draws us, through the present apostolic truth, into a spiritual realm of the promise of the so-called ‘vine of God’ (cf. John 15:5).
 
John 15:5:
5 ‘I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing. …’
 
This refers to advancing and acting within the present atmosphere of the Spirit and within the territory predestined for us by God (cf. Joshua 1:3).
 
Joshua 1:3:
3 I will give you every place where you set your foot, as I promised Moses.
 
This results in a manifestation of God’s glory that removes ‘carnality’ from God’s people. It is the power of God that overturns the ‘thrones’ to draw attention to His glory coming from the side (cf. 1 Samuel 6:13-14a).
 
1 Samuel 6:13-14a:
13 Now the people of Beth Shemesh were harvesting their wheat in the valley, and when they looked up and saw the ark, they rejoiced at the sight.
14a The cart came to the field of Joshua of Beth Shemesh, and there it stopped beside a large rock.
 
This results in great joy, which goes hand in hand with God’s righteousness and His salvation (cf. Malachi 4:2).
 
Malachi 4:2:
2 But for you who revere my name, the sun of righteousness will rise with healing in its rays. And you will go out and frolic like well-fed calves.
 
The glory of God contains within itself a pure white light that is twofold.
 
The Pure White Light
 
This pure white light resembles the white fine linen robe and the linen ephod that David wore (cf. 1 Chronicles 15:27).
 
1 Chronicles 15:27
27 Now David was clothed in a robe of fine linen, as were all the Levites who were carrying the ark, and as were the musicians, and Kenaniah, who was in charge of the singing of the choirs. David also wore a linen ephod.
 
This refers to the luminous presence of the jasper, which radiates from God’s throne room and encompasses God’s essence, accompanied by red light in the form of the sardius (cf. Revelation 4:3a i.c.w. Song of Songs 5:10).
 
Revelation 4:3a:
3a And the one who sat there had the appearance of jasper and ruby [Note: sardius]. …
 
Song of Songs 5:10:
10 My beloved is radiant [Note: white] and ruddy, outstanding among ten thousand.
 
According to Song of Songs 5:10, the beloved and bride bear witness to her beloved and groom in a way that is significant in this context. Here, the beloved and bride makes it clear that her beloved and groom stands out and is distinguished from among many thousands by the colors white and red.
 
These thousands encompass the realm of thousands upon thousands and ten thousand times ten thousand before the throne of God. Furthermore, this measure is an indication of the presence of the ministering spirits, or angels, over whom the Lord has authority (cf. Hebrews 1:4-6 i.c.w. Daniel 7:10).
 
Hebrews 1:4-6:
4 So he became as much superior to the angels as the name he has inherited is superior to theirs. 
5 For to which of the angels did God ever say, ‘You are my Son; today I have become your Father’? Or again, ‘I will be his Father, and he will be my Son’?
6 And again, when God brings his firstborn into the world, he says, ‘Let all God’s angels worship him.’
 
Daniel 7:10:
10 A river of fire was flowing, coming out from before him. Thousands upon thousands attended him; ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him. The court was seated, and the books were opened.
 
It is Jesus Christ who always stands at the forefront as the light and love of God the Father and stands out from all powerful spiritual presences in the supernatural realm (cf. John 1:4-5; John 8:12 i.c.w. John 3:16; Revelation 21:23).
 
John 1:4-5:
4 In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind.
5 The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.
 
John 8:12:
12 When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, ‘I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.’
 
John 3:16:
16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
 
Revelation 21:23:
23 The city does not need the sun or the moon to shine on it, for the glory of God gives it light, and the Lamb is its lamp.
 
Prophetic Revelation from the Throne Room of God
 
This means that prophetic revelation should not come from our own minds and emotions, but from the presence in the Throne Room of God. There, our primary focus should be on His sovereign nature, which is revealed in light of various colors—specifically, as already mentioned, white and red, which John describes as jasper and sardius.
 
It is the Bride of the Lamb who is entitled, like David, to wear pure, white linen— that is, byssus— which embodies the nature of God. The white, pure linen is revealed through us, the ecclesia, in the form of works of righteousness on earth, as we do what is righteous according to the Word of God (cf. Revelation 19:8).
 
Revelation 19:8:
‘… 8 Fine linen, bright and clean, was given her to wear.’ (Fine linen stands for the righteous acts of God’s holy people.)
 
Furthermore, the pure white linen is a reference to delving deeper into the Father as the Almighty and drawing nearer to Christ Jesus, the Lamb of God (cf. Ezekiel 44:17-18 i.c.w. Revelation 21:22-23).
 
Ezekiel 44:17-18:
17 ‘ “When they enter the gates of the inner court, they are to wear linen clothes; they must not wear any woollen garment while ministering at the gates of the inner court or inside the temple.
18 They are to wear linen turbans on their heads and linen undergarments round their waists. They must not wear anything that makes them perspire.
 
Revelation 21:22-23:
22 I did not see a temple in the city, because the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are its temple.
23 The city does not need the sun or the moon to shine on it, for the glory of God gives it light, and the Lamb is its lamp.
 
God’s Gracious Presence and His Covenant
 
God’s gracious presence and His covenant, on the other hand, are manifested in the form of the rainbow and the green color of the emerald that encircles His throne as we know (cf. Revelation 4:2b.3b).
 
Revelation 4:2b.3b:
… 2b and there before me was a throne in heaven with someone sitting on it.
… 3b A rainbow that shone like an emerald encircled the throne.
 
There is a significant interplay of three different colors, each associated with a gemstone. This interplay forms a lasting order of revelation in the spiritual realm, based on the principle from Ecclesiastes 4:12.
 
Ecclesiastes 4:12:
12 Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken.
 
This implies that our focus should be primarily on the LORD who sits on the throne as a reference to the purity of His nature and character, His heart, and His love and only secondarily on His throne, which signifies the seat of authority. It is therefore no coincidence that God named the first man Adam, whose Hebrew root word means ‘red, to be red, to dye red’, and that His Son Jesus Christ bears the title of ‘the last Adam’, who is Spirit and gives life (cf. 1 Corinthians 15:45).
 
1 Corinthians 15:45:
45 So it is written: ‘The first man Adam became a living being’; the last Adam, a life-giving spirit.
 
Thus, for us, the focus should—at best—not be primarily on the authority or the effects of power exercised (Note: such as authority, spiritual gifts, and miraculous works), but on our relationship with the LORD Himself.
 
For us, this order is the only correct foundation for our active exercise of the authority and spiritual gifts God has entrusted to us— and it is in this that God desires to be glorified, because His Word so decrees (cf. 1 Corinthians 13:1-3).
 
1 Corinthians 13:1-3:
1 If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal.
2 If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing.
3 If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing.
 
What does the Holy Spirit reveal in us— what is the focus of our lives?
 
How much importance do we already place on this priority— that righteous deeds come from obedient devotion to God and cannot be accomplished by us alone?
 
Whose love is this one power that people truly need?
 
Let us allow ourselves to be illuminated by the Spirit of God and, in doing so, become even more active in our first love for Him during this time ahead of us, which we must make the most of.
 
Amen and Amen.
 
In His Wisdom,
