“After this the son of the woman, the mistress of the house, became ill; and his illness was so severe that there was no breath left in him.  And she said to Elijah, “What have you against me, O man of God?  You have come to me to bring my sin to remembrance, and to cause the death of my son!”  And he said to her, “Give me your son.”  And he took him from her bosom, and carried him up into the upper chamber, where he lodged, and laid him upon his own bed.  And he cried to the Lord, “O Lord my God, have you brought calamity even upon the widow with whom I sojourn, by slaying her son?”  Then he stretched himself upon the child three times, and cried to the Lord, “O Lord my God, let this child’s soul come into him again.”  And the Lord listened to the voice of Elijah; and the soul of the child came into him again, and he revived.  And Elijah took the child, and brought him down from the upper chamber into the house, and delivered him to his mother; and Elijah said, “See, your son lives.”  And the woman said to Elijah, “Now I know that you are a man of God, and that the word of the Lord in your mouth is truth.”

(1 Kings 17:17-24)

 

“Soon afterward he went to a city called Nain, and his disciples and a great crowd went with him.  As he drew near to the gate of the city, behold, a man who had died was being carried out, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow; and a large crowd from the city was with her.  And when the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her and said to her, “Do not weep.”  And he came and touched the bier, and the bearers stood still.  And he said, “Young man, I say to you, arise.”  And the dead man sat up, and began to speak.  And he gave him to his mother.  Fear seized them all; and they glorified God, saying, “A great prophet has arisen among us!” and ”God has visited his people!”  And this report concerning him spread through the whole of Judea and all the surrounding country.”

(Luke 7:11-17)

 

“And when the dragon saw that he had been thrown down to the earth, he pursued the woman who had borne the male child.  But the woman was given the two wings of the great eagle that she might fly from the serpent into the wilderness, to the place where she is to be nourished for a time, and times, and half a time.  The serpent poured water like a river out of his mouth after the woman, to sweep her away with the flood.  But the earth came to the help of the woman, and the earth opened its mouth and swallowed the river which the dragon had poured from his mouth. Then the dragon was angry with the woman, and went off to make war on the rest of her offspring, on those who keep the commandments of God and bear testimony to Jesus.  And he stood on the sand of the sea.”

(Revelation 12:13-17)

The women… failed – in a serious way, to live the Ten Commandments … And so… I took their ‘first borns’

Jesus said: The women, in both those stories, My children, failed – in a serious way, to live the Ten Commandments, written on their hearts. And so in both cases, I took their ‘first borns’; because “the wages of sin, is death”.  However, I extended My Mercy – to both of them, and brought their children, ‘back to life’.  For I do not delight in the death, of My living creatures.  But I desire that all: be made alive, by My word and through Me. 

Both those women, sought life, when death ‘took them, by surprise’

Those stories were also: “spiritual allegories”.  For both those women, sought life, when death ‘took them, by surprise’.  They sought life, through, the words, of the Holy man of God.  But that is ‘as far as it went’ My children - in both cases.  Elijah, was seen as ‘a man of the Lord’, because, he ‘performed a sign’ for the widow, at Zarephath.  And the people of Nain, would only see Me, as ‘a prophet’, when I raised her son to life.  But again: they could not see, that I was the Messiah, that had come, to bring new Life to all people – not just ‘physical’, but, ‘spiritual life’.  I came as ‘a well-spring of Salvation’ for their souls.  But they would not and could not recognize Me My children, because I was hidden – from their ‘spiritual vision’. 

In these times… it will be: through My Justice, that “signs” are carried out

And again, as we talked about “expectations”, I was not what they were expecting.  In their eyes, I was ‘no where near’ the fulfillment, of the prophesies, of the Messiah.  In both cases with regards to Elijah and Myself, we both were seen: as less – by some, than who, we really are.  And it is the same for the both of you.  Except that in these times no miracles, signs, or wonders, will be done – so that the people, may believe. But when ‘My Wonders’, are done, it will be: through My Justice, that “signs” are carried out.  In Elijah’s time, signs were ‘carried out’, through Justice and Mercy.  And in My time, I showed people, that they could appeal – to My Mercy; and that I would help them with whatever the illness was. 

They are told ‘to swallow’… empty homilies, worthless sermons, and bad: theologies.

In your time, people do not want help My children.  And no one is ‘seeking’ – the right things; and the people, are deceived, by the serpents, from the pulpit – by “the waters”, being “poured”: ‘down their mouths and throats’.  They are told ‘to swallow’, to keep drinking in ‘the dark murky waters’ – of empty homilies, worthless sermons, and bad: theologies. 

You will never hear any of this in a Sunday Sermon

What can be done for them My children?  Except that in these times, the signs they will be given, will be My Justice, and Discipline – fully manifesting, in their lives.  From this day forward, it shall be so. For you are ‘in a battle’ My children – not just against “principalities, powers and thrones”, but “flesh and blood”, are battling against you as well.  You will never hear any of this in a Sunday Sermon.  But it is ‘what is necessary’.
