<span style="font-size: large;">The Word of Yahweh uses Prophets to talk to His people. We find that approximately one third of the Bible is dedicated to these servants of the Almighty, warning us and translating Yahweh's plans. Besides the Bible, there are many nations who have recognized prophets that were not recorded in the biblical Canons, yet delivered Inspired word from the Creator.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">God speaking is not just God talking. When God speaks, what God says comes to be. So, when a prophet speaks a Word of God, he or she is not merely transferring a message. It is a proclamation of a change to come that allows the seed of the change to germinate. It becomes an act of creation. It is an announcement of the future, yes, but rather than merely predicting the future, creates the future. So, we find that Prophets almost Remember the future as if it be done!</span><br>

Yahweh's Calendar according to scripture, explains that the Jubilee Cycle consists of 50 Civil Years.<br>

And you shall count seven Sabbaths of years for yourself, seven times seven years. And the time of the seven Sabbaths of years shall be to you forty-nine years. ‘You shall then sound a ram’s horn to pass through on the tenth day of the seventh month, on the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yom_Kippur">Day of Atonement</a> cause a ram’s horn to pass through all your land. ‘And you shall set the fiftieth year apart, and proclaim release throughout all the land to all its inhabitants, it is a Jubilee for you. And each of you shall return to his possession, and each of you return to his clan.’ “Leviticus 25;8-10<br>

Backdating the calendar to Adam in Yahweh's appointed times, we see the earth is 6000 years old this year when the 120th jubilee cycle comes to a close before Yom Kippur 2017 begins in the evening of Friday, September 29).<br>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;">Que. What is significant about Israel becoming a nation in 1948?</span><br>
<span style="font-size: small;"><br></span>
<span style="font-size: small;">Ans. It fulfilled such prophecies as Ezekiel 36 and 37 and heralded the soon end of the age. Palestine was a desert land before Israel recently made it "like the garden of Eden."</span><br>
<span style="font-size: small;"><br></span>
<span style="font-size: small;">Ezekiel 36:33-35 (ASV) Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: In the day that I cleanse you from all your iniquities, I will cause the cities to be inhabited, and the waste places shall be builded. And the land that was desolate shall be tilled, whereas it was a desolation in the sight of all that passed by. And they shall say, This land that was desolate is become like the garden of Eden; and the waste and desolate and ruined cities are fortified and inhabited.</span><br>
<span style="font-size: small;"><br></span>
<br>
<span style="font-size: small;"><br></span>
<span style="font-size: small;">Que. What is the connection between the measuring of the temple in Ezekiel 40 and Israel becoming a nation, aside from there being 1260 years plus 1260 years?</span><br>
<span style="font-size: small;"><br></span>
<span style="font-size: small;">Ans. The prophecy of Ezekiel 36 and 37 about the return of Israel to her own land flows naturally into the subject of the rebuilding of the temple in Ezekiel 40. Simply put, Israel is not fully restored until God Himself sits within His temple in Jerusalem. Thus, there needs to be a temple. The temple is the climax of a restored Israel. Note the last verses of Ezekiel 37.</span><br>
<span style="font-size: small;"><br></span>
<span style="font-size: small;">There has been some confusion concerning what I believe about when Ezekiel's temple will be rebuilt. I try to clear up that matter on the forum. Click here. In a nutshell, there will be a temple or sanctuary desecrated by antichrist, and then there will also be the temple of Ezekiel built during the Millennium. Why it will be rebuilt is also discussed on the forum!</span><br>
<span style="font-size: small;"><br></span>
<br>
<span style="font-size: small;"><br></span>
<span style="font-size: small;">Ezekiel 37:25 And they shall dwell in the land that I have given unto Jacob my servant, wherein your fathers dwelt; and they shall dwell therein, they, and their children, and their children's children, for ever: and David my servant shall be their prince for ever.</span><br>
<span style="font-size: small;"><br></span>
<span style="font-size: small;">Eze 37:26 Moreover I will make a covenant of peace with them; it shall be an everlasting covenant with them; and I will place them, and multiply them, and will set my sanctuary in the midst of them for evermore.</span><br>
<span style="font-size: small;"><br></span>
<span style="font-size: small;">Eze 37:27-28 My tabernacle also shall be with them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. And the nations shall know that I am Jehovah that sanctifieth Israel, when my sanctuary shall be in the midst of them for evermore.</span><br>
<span style="font-size: small;"><br></span>
<br>
<span style="font-size: small;"><br></span>
<br>
<span style="font-size: small;"><br></span>
<span style="font-size: small;">Que. Why wasn't Israel restored completed in 1948, including the temple mount?</span><br>
<span style="font-size: small;"><br></span>
<span style="font-size: small;">Ans. In Ezekiel's account of the fall of Jerusalem, God's Spirit departs from the temple and leaves Jerusalem in specific stages (beginning 592 BC) and then comes back in stages 19 years later in 573 BC, (Ezek. 8, 40). In the same way, Israel is now being restored in stages --- each stage on a timeframe predicted by the bible. The next stage in God's plan for Jerusalem also happened exactly 19 years after Israel became a nation in 1948: The 1967, Six-Day War.</span><br>
<span style="font-size: small;"><br></span>
<br>
<span style="font-size: small;"><br></span>
<span style="font-size: small;">The 1967, Six-Day War</span><br>
<span style="font-size: small;"><br></span>
<span style="font-size: small;">The next stage in Israel's restoration was the six-day war waged exactly 19 years later, to the day on the 360 calendar, June 5-10, 1967. In the war, the temple mount was captured along with east Jerusalem. Thus, June 5th, 1967, was also Pentecost on the 360 calendar.</span><br>
<span style="font-size: small;"><br></span>
<br>
<span style="font-size: small;"><br></span>
<span style="font-size: small;">Que. But why 19 years later?</span><br>
<span style="font-size: small;"><br></span>
<span style="font-size: small;">Ans. Because, from Ezekiel's vision about the temple (573 BC) until when Israel became a nation are 1260 + 1260 years, that is 2520 years. (2520 days represents a seven-year period on the 360 calendar. {360 x 7 = 2520 days.}) Thus, 2520 years, plus 19 more years equals 2539. And so, from 573 BC to 1967 are 2539 years.</span><br>
<span style="font-size: small;"><br></span>
<br>
<span style="font-size: small;"><br></span>
<span style="font-size: small;">So, what's important about 2539 years?</span><br>
<span style="font-size: small;"><br></span>
<span style="font-size: small;">It happens that seven years on the regular Jewish calendar amounts to 2539 days in both 1948 and 1967. Thus, the seventh anniversary after Israel became a nation occurred exactly 2539 days later on the regular Jewish calendar, (i.e., 1948-1955). And the same is true of the seventh anniversary of the 1967 War, (i.e., 1967-1974). Hence, in God's heavenly schematic, 2539 days correspond to the previous 2539 years back to the prophecy of Ezekiel in 573 BC! (The 1973 Yom Kippur war fits into this scheme too, but to stay focused on 1948 we will not digress.) </span><br>
<span style="font-size: small;"><br></span>
<span style="font-size: small;">Thus, in stage one of Jerusalem's restoration, seven years of years on the 360 calendar transpired from Ezekiel's vision of the temple unto when Israel became a nation. Likewise, in the next stage of taking the remainder of Jerusalem, seven-years of years again transpired, except this time on the regular Jewish calendar. </span><br>
<span style="font-size: small;"><br></span>
<span style="font-size: small;">And moreover, as said, on the 360 calendar, the day on both of these occasions was "Pentecost"  that is, both in 1948 and 1967 -- when West Jerusalem, and then East Jerusalem, fell into Israel's hands!</span><br>
<span style="font-size: small;"><br></span>
<br>
<span style="font-size: small;"><br></span>
<span style="font-size: small;">(There are numerous other reasons why the Six-Day War happened when it did. In part, it has to do with the span of time from when Jerusalem fell to Babylon in 586 BC, and the 1290 of Daniel 12, and the leap month, and the symbolic-day-years. But of these things we cannot digress now! Also note that from 592 BC, when God's Spirit began to leave the temple in stages, unto 1948 are also 2539 years! </span><br>
<span style="font-size: small;"><br></span>
<span style="font-size: small;">One final note: On the regular Jewish calendar, the 1967 War began on the anniversary of when Jesus rose up into heaven {Iyar 16}, which was 40 days after His resurrection, Acts 1. However, as said earlier, on the 360 calendar Iyar 16 happened to be the 65th day of the year in 1967, which is Pentecost.</span><br>
<span style="font-size: small;"><br></span>
<span style="font-size: small;">Here are the words that Jesus spoke, just before he ascended up to heaven on Iyar 16 --- His last words were to 'wait until Pentecost when the Spirit would be poured out'. And the last question he was answering at the time was, 'When will the kingdom be restored to Israel?' </span><br>
<span style="font-size: small;"><br></span>
<span style="font-size: small;">Thus, contained in the last words of Jesus about the restoration of Israel, (and Jerusalem in particular), were hidden two clues as to when it would happen, these two clues were the two anniversary dates of when Israel would begin to be restored in 1948 and 1967.</span><br>
<span style="font-size: small;"><br></span>
<span style="font-size: small;">(Act 1:6-8) "They therefore, when they were come together, asked him, saying, Lord, dost thou at this time restore the kingdom to Israel? And he said unto them, It is not for you to know times or seasons, which the Father hath set within His own authority. But ye shall receive power, when the Holy Spirit is come upon you: and ye shall be my witnesses both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea and Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth." (For further investigation, calculate the prophecy and timing of Daniel 2.)</span><br>
<span style="font-size: small;"><br></span>
<span style="font-size: small;">Interestingly, seven days after Iyar 18, 1967, when Jerusalem was restored, is Pentecost on the regular Jewish calendar.)</span></td></tr>

<span style="font-size: 14.6667px;">All true prophecy is from God for His glory and the sake of the "elect". Yet, in our day it is common, even among people of faith, to pay little or no regard to any prophecy and to consider one who does pay attention, a conspiracy theorist.</span></div>

<li><span style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 16.8667px;">A third of the Holy Bible is devoted to basic education revealing to man the necessary <b><i>foundational knowledge</i></b> otherwise undiscoverable and unknowable: knowledge of what man is, why he is, where his destiny may lead, how to reach it and live happily along the way.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 16.8667px;">Another approximate third of that Book is devoted to <i><b>history</b></i>. A history dominated by what is written in the first five Books of your Bible, that most people have been taught not to read and to shun and denigrate, by scientists; religions; their peers and others.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 16.8667px;">About a third of the Holy Bible is devoted to <i><b>Prophecy</b></i>—One finds the Hand of Almighty God always present, surely guiding His people towards their destiny, according to His Will, through all the errors made by these rebellious people out of own choice. The Book has real knowledge of the true values as opposed to the false. A spiritual ripening process, that are appropriately compared to the harvest or the process of food production throughout the 4 seasons.</span></li>

I furnish these texts to the reader and reminds all that where we cannot understand we may draw our conclusions provided we do this with caution, and under the guidance of the Holy Spirit. The prophetic texts recorded are of certain divine origin and only in the instances where they form parts of Sacred Scripture or Specific traditions, should we accept them as a message from God. The interpretations of these are matters of faith and as our Messiah reminded us, not everything will be fully understood until the day we are exalted and only then will we have complete understanding.</span><br />

Many can only be confirmed once they actually occur, yet we are given a small window of time to be aware and recognise them before or mostly, while, they occur. Thus a prophecy may be in process of fulfilment before one's eyes and he may not be aware of it.</span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 16.8667px;">This knowledge of the way to inner peace, happiness, abundant well being can only be understood through the study of scripture in its full context and with the guidance and interpretation of the Supernatural Holy Spirit. <o:p></o:p></span><span style="font-size: 14.6667px;">It is known, that some items, which at their face value and in their context seem of little importance, </span><br />
<span style="font-size: 14.6667px;">contains something of intrinsic value to the "spiritually aware". There are hidden depths which </span><span style="font-size: 14.6667px;">superficial reading will not reveal.</span></div>
<div style="border: none; margin-left: 0.65in; margin-right: 0.65in; padding: 4pt 0in 0in;">
<div class="MsoIntenseQuote" style="margin: 12pt 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "constantia" , serif; font-size: 11pt;">As Paul preached to Rome, He had made this final statement: “The Holy Spirit was right when He spoke to your fathers through Isaiah the prophet: Go to this people and say, “You will be ever hearing but never understanding; you will be ever seeing but never perceiving.” Acts 28:26<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoIntenseQuote" style="margin: 12pt 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "constantia" , serif; font-size: 11pt;">Jesus Himself also explained “The mystery of the kingdom of God has been given to you, but to those on the outside, everything is expressed in parables, so that, ‘they may be ever seeing but never perceiving, and ever hearing but never understanding; otherwise they might turn and be forgiven.’” Mark 4:12<o:p></o:p></span></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 16.8667px;">Interpretations that does not depend upon the Holy Spirit for revelation is nothing but man’s opinion. The Word of God was given to men by God to write it down in “books”. That is called “inspiration.” Notice that it came from God to man, not from man to man. This is always the order of interpretation. Peter said the Word of God is not the private interpretation of man, meaning that the Word of God did not originate from man no matter how great an intellect he may be (II Peter 1:20-21).<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 16.8667px;">Therefore, it is not enough to believe in the inspiration of the Scriptures apart from Holy Spirit revelation. Unless the Holy Spirit imparts the revelation or understanding, it is nothing but a literary book. This is the meaning of Paul’s comments in I Corinthians 2:10-16.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="border: none; margin-left: 0.65in; margin-right: 0.65in; padding: 4pt 0in 0in;">
<div class="MsoIntenseQuote" style="margin: 12pt 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "constantia" , serif; font-size: 11pt;">…” And this is what we speak, not in words taught us by human wisdom, but in words taught by the Spirit, expressing spiritual truths in spiritual words. The natural man does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God. For they are foolishness to him, and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually discerned.” 1 Corinthians 2:14<o:p></o:p></span></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 16.8667px;">and in Corinthians 14:36, Paul sarcastically asked the Corinthians if the Word of God originated from them?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="border: none; margin-left: 0.65in; margin-right: 0.65in; padding: 4pt 0in 0in;">

<span style="font-family: "constantia" , serif; font-size: 11pt;">…” Preach the word; be prepared in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, and encourage with every form of patient instruction. For the time will come when men will not tolerate sound doctrine, but with itching ears they will gather around themselves teachers to suit their own desires.

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 11pt;">Holy Spirit revelation is a lost learning in the body of Christ today and is largely replaced by intellectual education. Men on a lower level of understanding, when brought into contact with phenomena of a higher order, instead of making efforts to understand them, raise themselves up to the point of view from which they must look at the subject, judge it from their limited understanding (mostly limited scientific “knowledge”), and apparently, the less they understand what they are talking about, the more confidently and unhesitatingly they pass judgment on it. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 11pt;">Instead of judging human experiences by the Word of God, this false idea suggests that we judge the Word of God by human experiences.  We attempt to prove God by our understanding of science while Science is merely what we know or some of it, about God. Yes, this is the opposite of the psychological base of humanistic teaching, but God's Word has always stood opposite the ideas of flesh and human rationale. When we base interpretation of truth on our experiences we totally lose the basis of truth.  Man is taught throughout Scripture to never trust himself. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 11pt;">The majority of academics then, use a very crooked ruler in the form of incomplete, scientific assumptions (which changes daily). Bacon, who is often called the Father of Science, said the same thing and applied it to the influence of a knowledge of science upon the conception of God :<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 11pt;">" A little philosophy inclineth a man's mind to atheism, but depth in philosophy bringeth men's minds about to religion." One hundred years later we find the greatest human intellect, possibly, Sir Isaac Newton devoutly unfolding the secrets of Daniel's mysterious prophecies and visions with a simple childlike faith that has never been excelled. And even most professing “Christians” refuse utterly to do that. No wonder they can’t understand.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 16.8667px;">Yet in modern times, both Agnostics and Christians are mostly looking at the living, moral teaching of Christ from the lower standpoint of our own conception of life, this doctrine appears as nothing but a very indefinite and vague combination of self-denial, easy-going philosophy, and of shortsighted visions, which have no serious significance for our times. Its whole meaning is concentrated, in its religious manifestations in the conflict with the historical powers of Catholicism, Protestantism or in other dogmas. In a similar fashion, Heads of government are utterly unaware of the true significance of the very world-shaking events which they are actively participating in. The media reports, without any insight into the real meaning of the world news they report on every day and even our religious leaders fail to bring this into context with their teachings. We popularize the Gospel by being politically correct and style the Faith in a less disruptive way, an all-inclusive acceptance of various doctrines. Just because its soo much more convenient for everybody to explain scientifically. Similarly, "emotional" preaching and teaching (Making me feel good motivational teaching) wrongs revelation and many believers follow these highly paid speakers to find this Inner peace which we so desperately need.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 16.8667px;">A good example is that of the Council of Laodicea who was a regional synod of approximately thirty clerics from Asia Minor that assembled about 363–364 AD. Their 59th canon forbade the readings in church of uncanonical books. They determined that the New Testament will contain 26 books, omitting the Book of Revelation, and the Old Testament including the 22 books of the Hebrew Bible plus the Book of Baruch and the Epistle of Jeremy. It is also believed that they may have demonized "The Book of Enoch", which led to its degeneration. This counsel also decreed the following “Christians must not judaize by resting on the Sabbath, but must work on that day, rather honouring the Lord's Day; and, if they can, resting then as Christians. But if any shall be found to be judaizers, let them be cursed from Christ.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 16.8667px;">Truth is not based on either an intellectual or emotional presentation of the Word of God often changed to make it more acceptable to the audience, but on God's original purpose, which is to make us more holy and righteous in our character and behavior. The “makes me feel good message” comes from pulpits and seminars.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 11pt;">The discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls between 1947 and 1961, has caused quite a stir in all aspects of Biblical study and investigation. These works were the collections of ‘the Essenes, a Jewish religious community flourishing during the last two centuries of<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 11pt;">the Second Temple era (150 BCE-70 CE). The archaeological evidence shows that they lived in Jerusalem at the time of Christ, and Bargil Pixner, who lived on Mount Zion in Dormition Abby, has shown that there was a significant Essene quarter of Jerusalem on Mount Zion. One of the principal characteristics of the Essenes was common ownership of property. New members handed over their belongings to the superiors, who collected also the wages earned by every sectary. Agriculture was the main Essene occupation. Having renounced private possessions, the members received all that they needed: food, clothes, care. There seems to be a striking resemblance to this practice and that of the Apostles described in<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "constantia" , serif; font-size: 11pt;">Acts 4:32 “All the believers were one in heart and mind. No one claimed that any of their possessions was their own, but they shared everything they had. With great power the apostles continued to testify to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus. And God’s grace was so powerfully at work in them all that there were no needy persons among them. For from time to time those who owned land or houses sold them, brought the money from the sales and put it at the apostles’ feet, and it was distributed to anyone who had need.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 11pt;">Further “peculiarities” included the wearing of white garments; ritual bathing before meals which were given only to initiates, and cooked and blessed by priests; the rejection of animal sacrifice and of oaths to support their statements, and, above all, of marriage.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 16.8667px;">The discovery of the Dead sea Scrolls, allowed for the understanding of the original meaning of issues with which we have become almost too familiar and which with the passing of the centuries have tended to become choked with inessentials. It has led not only to a renewed preoccupation with the primitive but fully developed expression of these issues in the Scriptures, but also to a desire for knowledge and understanding of their prehistory.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 11pt;">Theologically, the Essenes showed extreme reverence for the Law and were famous for their strictest observance of the Sabbath. Their teachings were recorded in secret books. Amongs them the books banned by the Council of Laodicea. They preferred belief in Fate to freedom of the will and, rejecting the notion of bodily resurrection, envisaged a purely spiritual afterlife. Experts in the healing of body and soul, they also excelled in prophecy. <a href="https://www.blogger.com/null">It</a><span class="MsoCommentReference"><a class="msocomanchor" href="file:///C:/Users/Pieter/Desktop/New%20folder/Article21_8_2016.docx#_msocom_1" id="_anchor_1" language="JavaScript" name="_msoanchor_1">[P1]</a> </span> seems the Essenes had a better knowledge of the true faith than did the Priests at the Jerusalem Temple. They had every book of the Jewish Bible, with the exception of Esther. They had several additional books as well: they had much material in the original languages of what are called apocrypha and pseudepigrapha (i.e. non-canonical anonymous writings), as well as other, unknown literary works. The word “apocrypha” is from the Greek apocrypha and means “hidden,” and is used to refer to scripture that is considered to be on the fringes of the OT and the NT. The manuscripts most likely originated in Jerusalem libraries, the contents of which were concealed in desert caves when the capital was besieged between 67 and 70 CE.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 11pt;">The Dead Sea literature have opened new avenues of exploration in the era of the life of Jesus, the rise of Christianity and the emergence of rabbinic Judaism. A key question for me has been the “sifting” of the books that were in the Essenes’ library. The fact is that we have inherited a world in which the truth has been suppressed and the people have been deceived about many matters. And no doubt, our supposed religious shepherds and teachers are involved in the whole process.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 11pt;">Among the discoveries at the Dead Sea was One of the most important and most unknown books of Sacred Scripture: the Book of Enoch (also called 1 Enoch). It is still largely unknown and unappreciated in the West because of the false prohibitions that have been placed on it by people who deliberately suppressed the truths that it contains.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 11pt;">without tasting death (Genesis 5: 22-24; Hebrews 11: 5-6). There is not a lot of information about Enoch in the Bible, and just about all of it is in the first part of Genesis.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 11pt;">In the follow up to this article, we will look at some insightful prophetic insight in the Essene scrolls and particular reverence will be made to the Books of Enoch.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-size: 11pt;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: 14.6667px;">It is necessary to use “spiritual discernment” to understand spiritual things. Perhaps one of the best examples of natural and spiritual discernment is recorded in II Kings chapter 6. It records the story of a natural battle in which troops of the enemy nation of Syria had surrounded a small town called Dothan where the prophet Elisha was staying. When Elisha’s servant, Gehazi, saw the great host of the enemy he became fearful. Elisha prayed that</span><br />
<span style="font-size: 14.6667px;">God would open Gehazi’s spiritual eyes so he could see the angelic hosts surrounding and protecting them. On this occasion, God actually opened the natural eyes of Gehazi and allowed him to visibly see the superior forces of God aligned for battle.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: 14.6667px;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;"></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: 14.6667px;">The story of this battle at Dothan is similar to present spiritual conditions in the Church. There are some, like Elisha, who see clearly into the realm of the spirit. They know there is a conflict occurring, have identified the enemy, and recognize the greater forces of God that assure victory.</span></div>
