SWORD DRAWN By Levi

     "Then I felt a rumbling in my spirit and my patience running thin, burning me up like my Christ in zeal for the Lord; for the evil angels have set this whole House at rebellion. Then I saw the emerging Sword from my peripheral vision, beckoning for the Spirit to hurriedly unsheathe. My heart started fluttering, for these diabolical messengers of flesh and death have hastily insulted and denied my Lord on everything from the origin of life through the distant eons of time. Indeed, they assemble together to press Him beyond the everlasting hills of holy Mount Zion, through the utmost stars of distant galaxies, and even to the outward bounds of the universe; and I have foolishly and apologetically reasoned above my calling to defend the wonderful works of my God. Truly these truest of fools, who devise to deny the Universal King, will be awakened soon-enough to His displeasure. To every direction, I know His magnificent Spirit sees, and His eyes are persistently set on the seal and entering His gate by way of the east. My Lord will soon triumph and bring down His enemies, and this I know, with little need of my archaic verbiage of words. This world will be filled with the science of our God- all His works confessing Him- as the waters of the seas. We may fail to bring glory, and we may in this day fall by the numbers, but He without doubt shall prevail. The sciences will be liberated from the doctors of death, and the infants of tomorrow will be born in the image of God.

     And yet this steely blade is already ablaze, loosed from its lodging and whet for the wailing, and it begins to revolve in the palms of my hands. To the crying of the crafty it is set to abet, to set all things straight from the Genesis of God. On this narrow path they cannot pass, for the doorkeeper has been summoned from afar- to unleash an assault on trespassers of paradise. My mockery is already moved from my heart to my mouth, and mind is already mindful to make muckrake of the mountebanks. I will not hold back nor seek to contain it, for fire comes forth from the Source of My God. Be strong and courageous you material gods, and be assembled in the name of your sacred sciences. Show yourselves bold in consensus, and come out to battle this famous Sword, you doctors of death, if you seek to be pierced through by the spear of these words. Make your last stance and be maligned by your lies, and assemble your facts as a witness. For I swear before the shining throne of my Lord YHVH- the Almighty- that you will soon be brought down from your mountains of blasphemy, and the glory of sciences will be given to the possession of the blessed, with the tide turned back for the One who begot them. The facts of creation will now be set straight to prepare the way for the Lord of all life. And you, the doctors of death, will now be stripped bare and exposed for your arrogance and folly, as the children of God stick out their tongues, mocking you mountebanks who have so liberally taken license to mock. You are the straw man; you are the fall man; you are the scapegoat; and this I do not deny. But you know who you are- the blackness of stars- and what by your hardness of hearts and purblind eyes you purpose yourselves to become. So prepare yourselves for a slashing, for recompense to your constant abashing; for the Sword has been drawn to defeat, to dismiss, to outlast you:

“For behold, the day is coming, burning like an oven, and all the proud, yes, all who do wickedly will be stubble. And the day which is coming shall burn them up,” says the LORD [YHVH] of hosts, “that will leave them neither root nor branch. But to you who fear [revere] My name the Sun of Righteousness shall arise with healing in His wings; and you shall go out [be freed] and grow fat [prosper] like stall-fed calves. You shall trample the wicked, for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet on the day that I do this,” says the LORD of hosts. “Remember the Law [Torah] of Moses, My servant, which I commanded him in Horeb for all Israel, with the statutes and judgments. Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD. And he will turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the hearts of the children to their fathers, lest I come and strike the earth with a curse [utter destruction].” (Mal. 4:1-6) NKJV; intrpl. mine (NB: The corresponding passage of Tanakh is Malachi Chapter 3.)

   

     Who are more demented than those who make God their enemy, and those who expend their energies to censor proclamations of His scriptural truths? Who have trespassed in the manner of those who have created their own transformer trees of life (TOLs), having consumed the corrupted fruits of nature determinism? These adversaries of Truth will be completely overcome by Bible-believers who learn the creation paradigm from the Law of Moses, for within the Torah is hidden the Great Mystery of our divine Maker. The failing trees of the naturalists’ will be plucked up by their weak roots and burned-up by the Holy Spirit fires of refinement, but believers will perceive all things and eat the true fruits of the Tree of Life. All the branches of science- all disciplines- will be trimmed of their corruptions and some will be cut off by the Sword of the Spirit. Truly these lofty trees will be ashes under your feet, as the Lord has proclaimed, for the Word of God shall burn them up. And in those days, the knowledge of creation will no longer be utilized for the death in white lab coats, nor distorted by lawyers in black robes.

It is of the portents of our ancestral times, and of the oracles of our predecessors- of prophets, sages, apostles, and scribes long before us- that the Lord of Hosts would send forth His measurements in the last days of this age to restore all things, to the utter dismay of His enemies, for the truths of the coming Lord Messiah: the Cornerstone of our faith. All things would be measured upon Him, even the times in which we live and have our being. Similitudes were therefore released by the prophets with dark sayings of old, parables and riddles, and such things were foretold to be revealed, although through the long passage of time this expectancy has faded from the light and must be learned anew in the language of God. This is what we seek to restore, even beyond the corporeal foundations.

     I stand at the bank among the faithful multitude- seekers of His truths and watchers of the Word- who are ever-ready to cast down every yoke that seeks to bind us ignorance. We uphold our radiant Swords of Scripture in glory, and we will only be bound to our subordinate places in God and in the truths measured in His Word. To God and His revelations triumphant, we hold our allegiance still as we follow forward to clarity in search of His absolute truths. This is indeed the host of many camps, the humble creatures of the Maker, and these are the messengers who overrun the perimeters of Hell to stand against all that has arisen against Him- those who have turned back the battle at the gate. But for those who have bent natural truths in high academic places, we hold them in no regard, if only negligence, for in our understanding of life we seek and obtain only the crystal-clear waters which are measured in Christ and come forth from the Living God. We have the covenant of life and call all things into Divine account in the land of the living. As for this click of the cunning, the vehement blasphemers of our age, who in large numbers count it but a small thing to speak every evil against the God of Scripture and His glorious Messiah, to offend His true children for many generations with malicious mockery, it has been prophesied that an awakening would come to expose their every refuge of fallacy:

Because ye have said, We have made a covenant with death, and with hell are we at agreement; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, it shall not come unto us: for we have made lies our refuge, and under falsehood we have hid ourselves; Therefore, thus saith the Lord GOD, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner stone [Messiah], a sure foundation: he that believeth shall not make haste [conclusions]. Judgment also will I lay to the line, and righteousness to the plummet: and the hail shall sweep away the refuge of lies, and the waters shall overflow the hiding place. And your covenant with death shall be disannulled, and your agreement with hell shall not stand; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, then ye shall be trodden down by it. (Is. 28:15-18) KJV; intrpl. mine

   

     What do these things mean for our times? This passage means that the Temple of spiritual truths will be measured with the Cornerstone of God’s work on the Earth. He is also the Plummet-stone for measuring the foundation of times, like measuring the depths of water in a dark well by water left on the line. There is a line attached to our Rock, and the waters are measured to mark all His words. There is no place to hide from these measurements in light of the coming Messiah, for clear waters of God’s Word from Heaven will rain deep from a thick cloud of witnesses, and it comes as hard as hail on all who seek to hide from Truth, even down upon those who misplace their materialistic faiths in darkness and death. The measuring lines of the times have now been sent forth, and these lines are measured according to the placement of the Messiah, looking to the Great Sabbath of His coming. This line does not run dry and these waters shall not cease, for even in the midst of trials by our adversaries, the faithful will be given verdicts of justification from the coming Judge. Though we be among these blasphemers in the midst of their spiritual drought, when they arise to persecute all who prophesy in biblical truth, the oil of Ruach HaKodesh anointing and the nourishing meal of Tanakh and Brit Chadasha will persist in the Household of Faith, even unto the seventh time, when the Former and Latter Rain appears in the cloud as the Right Hand of God. Then all will know His messages are truths, with Divine measurements again confirmed. Thus far, this Great Mystery being alluded to, with all its enigmatic concepts and biblical metaphors, written for spiritual believers, has not been discerned by the wakening world. The Divine line of measurements and its correlations to Messiah have yet to remove the veil. Nevertheless, the time for clarity of perception has come to our age. Now all peoples will perceive how the foundations of this world’s ages were structured upon the Word and works of our Creator. There will no longer be a place to hide from truths, not in sciences nor in religions, nor in indifference. When it is fully known, the Earth will indeed perceive that this is the age that the straying world of mortals meets its omniscient Maker.

      Let us therefore journey together for truth, all who are divided between two opinions- two claims on creation. And as in the days of old in Israel, let us assemble the Altar of Truth to restore many hearts. Naturalists have given their best shot for over a century to convince the world that material determinism is factual and can be credited for the emergences of all lifeforms. They have governments on their side and have free rein in public schools, much like the false prophets of Baal in the days of old. Indeed they claim all of nature for their worldview. Yet their spontaneous generations of life have never been observed to occur, and neo-Darwinism has utterly failed the facts, hiding within the gaps. They rage in great numbers for their sacrifices in science, searching high and low for any and every sign that might strengthen their beliefs, but those who are not indoctrinated have been patiently studying the facts and awaiting a cosmology of absolute Truth. So to this altar of testing we will add the Cornerstone of sacrifice for all of Israel, knowing that the true Creator can set ablaze fleshy altars with evidences. If the waters of the Word that we pour out around the sacrifice of Christ ignites, lit by the fire of the Holy Spirit, and is confessed on the altars of many hearts, then know that the God of the Bible is Truth. The claim that I make is that God is the Creator, and therefore He is able to take back all things- showing that He has done the works.

      A fire from Heaven will soon rain down on the heart of a nation, burning from coast to coast in a furious flame of refinement. The sacred Sword of the Spirit is again unsheathed to slay every ideology in obstinate opposition to the Living God. Truly its edges are even sharper than believers currently perceive. Truly His words are clearer than crystal, and they will soon be known by all. These are spiritual things for the spiritual believers learning the mysteries of God, but these things of Heaven and Earth will soon meet for plain understanding. 

      The Sword of Scripture was forged in the everlasting fires of the Holy Spirit of God, crafted before its legendary manifestation in the Ten Commandments on the stones of Moses- a Decalogue of Divine decrees engraved by the Creator on Horeb of Sinai. Its metal was carefully crafted with shards of spiritual steel by the artisan angels of the High Command, in guidance of His holy throne for infinite perfection of its righteous and prophetic precepts. Beyond Eden of Genesis and before famous Abram- the father called from the land of Shinar and the cities of Chaldeans- it was first fashioned and sculptured without the casting words or molds of men. The Sword of the Spirit was brought forth in the heart of God before the ancient genealogies, purged instantly pure amid the grand assembly with the harmonious truths of the Most High. And in the righteousness of His holiness He unsheathed it upon ancient Egypt, and made haste to lay waste with it on the wicked ones of Assyrian bands. It was loosed beyond the captivity of Babylon and polished by the hearts of the children of the Almighty. This is the Sword lent to Gideon- the nourishment of loaves of Divine bread for His people- which fed justice to the children of Jacob and recompense to the many camps of His abominable adversaries. From holy Prophet Moses to Apostle John on the island of Patmos, this Sword was fully assembled from the steely words of the living Lord into the letters and languages fluent among mankind, that all hearts might know that Lord YHVH walks the wide world in the land of the living, and freely does His mighty and righteous deeds as He pleases.   

     Judgments of the Law were at once set on its razor-sharp edge, and at its second edge is the beautiful grace for protection from the Mercy Seat of the Commander of Hosts. The Blade of our God is clothed in the red tint of a permanent stain, from piercing point to hilt by the sacrificial blood of Jesus Christ- Yeshua haMashiach. From machaira to rhomphaia His blade has long been drawn for our age and is readied for revealing in our rigorous plight against all lies. This tint does not fade; this Blade will never run; and these words will all be justified and fulfilled in their appointed times. I have seen the Blade pulled from the Rock by the invisible Holy Spirit, and in brightest I awoke from the vision fearfully amazed. Beyond the poetry, there comes a reckoning for all, and the Spirit has indeed confirmed it.  For this is the Sword every soldier of light is trained to handle by the hilt, to master at its blazing work, to give him or her strength to divide the doom of the darkest of nights by His glorious Light. This is the Word sent out to all of Jacob, which must be grasped before the fruits of the Tree of Everlasting Life can be reached by those who venture to return to the paradise Kingdom of God. Though this Sword has been called by many names; though it has been assembled in earthly nations through millenniums and various ancient empires; though its shards of truths have been employed in the divided words of many teachings of faiths; it will unite in one a perfected people of the Holy Spirit, even as the Sword of the Spirit is one from beginning to end, spanning the ages of God among us, in the works appointed to restore honor and justice among mankind. This Sword will neither falter nor fail amid its many felled foes on the battlefield of spiritual truths in our times. To strengthen the weak; to bring the joy and gladness and anointing to the valleys; to bring down every mountain which has united and exalted itself against the dutiful angels of our Holy Creator; this Sword makes a complete end to every haughty lie, to all hypocrisy, to every deception, and it will rest in a crystal-clear beauty with the invisible Holy Spirit of God- forever justified in His infinite magnificence. And for this it is prophesied, that “His name is called The Word of God,” and we- those of us who have determined to earnestly seek- shall follow the Word, clothed in light and mounted upon pure and righteous movements to reveal the truths as we follow.

     Muddied doctrines which the children have become accustomed to drinking will be cleansed, for the Word of God will be crystal clear for the coming of Messiah. By the Holy Spirit, the Word will forge a people out of these Western lands for the Eastern arrival of our Lord of Lords, so help us God for His coming! And to Israel we will be gathered, with the faithful from the four corners of the world, as a buffer and a protection on the outskirts of impending doom, saying to all of Israel, “Fear not, for this is the day of Salvation.” And so we will uphold these beacons of light and stand the line in a very dark night, for at the pinnacle of what is counted lost and bleak without hope by the nations will be the dawn of the Sun of Righteousness- the One who first enlightened the depths of our hearts.

     Rejoice in this flood of truths, you who hear in these days, for I hear the sound of an abundance of rain. A tsunami of truths that was once held back is being released for the dawning day of the Sun of Righteousness. No longer will the people of the Lord falter between opinions, between “science and religion.” The Truth will encompass the nations of the Earth like the waters of the seas. And when the storm is over all will know the Word of our God. All will know that our God has broken the yoke of the oppressor and brought down the elites that have conspired against Him to change the fabric of ancient Judeo-Christian truths. Indeed, corrupt leaders of the nations and sorcerers of bad science will be tried before the throne of the coming Messiah. It is only a short matter of time. These things were known long before the Judeo-Christian faith had begun to spread around the world, and they will each come to their completion. Do not fear the beasts of godlessness, for God has already declared that their rebellion will not stand beyond the appointed time. And all will know that YHVH- that He is God, our Elohim, and Yeshua is His Right Arm of judgment.

Why do the nations rage [riot], and the people plot a vain thing? The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD and against His Anointed [Messiah], saying, “Let us break Their bonds in pieces [destroy connections] and cast away Their chords from us [secularize].” He who sits in the heavens shall laugh; the LORD shall hold them in derision. Then He shall speak to them in His wrath, and distress them in His deep displeasure: “Yet I have set My King on My holy hill of Zion [Jerusalem].” “I will declare the decree: The LORD [YHVH] has said to Me [Messiah], ‘You are My Son, today I have begotten You. Ask of Me, and I will give You the nations for Your inheritance, and the ends of the earth for Your possession. You shall break them with a rod of iron; You shall dash them to pieces like a potter’s vessel.’” Now therefore, be wise, O kings; be instructed, you judges of the earth. Serve the LORD with fear [reverence], and rejoice with trembling. Kiss the Son, lest He be angry, and you perish in the way, when His wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all those who put their trust in Him. (Ps. 2) NKJV ©. 1000 BC) intrpl. min
