# 001 The privilege of the Lifted Arm

"The voice of thy watchmen! They lift up the voice, together do they sing; for they shall see eye to eye, when Jehovah returneth to Zion."

Isa 52:8

"Jehovah hath made bare his holy arm in the eyes of all the nations."

Isa 52:10

These sequences in the writings of Prophet Isaiah trigger and stimulate the intercessors to enter into their prayer chambers and to gather in Solemn Assemblies. To this day we have not seen any of the major prophecies being fulfilled regarding the End Times. We are perhaps approaching the "birth pangs" described by the Lord in his "Sermon of the Mount of Olives".

Matt 24, Mark 13, Luke 21

In the text quoted from the writings of Isaiah, the Lord provides a most valuable clue for His dear followers, a clue functioning as a reference point beyond the many - a marker of beginnings, if you will. The Lord tells his disciples and intercessors about a certain time-frame. They are being engaged by the Holy Spirit, to take a most privileged stance - the expectant waiting for the Lord to return.

Many men and women engage in various kinds of "prophetic activity" - most of it misses the mark in the absence of the true marker of prophecy in the end time - the insight into the mystery of the Second Coming. Too many "prophets" are far too feverish in their efforts, too busy in their approach, which points to an early coming, way ahead of time. They engage in an improper twisting of terms and of order. On the other end, there are too many too involved in the care of the business of this world, in their prophetic attack on time itself as they project mind force in a declaring to bring forth the "peaches and cream", the mansions and the cars, which the think to be their privilege.

Isaiah 52:8 points out the true prophetic stance, the mind and heart heated by the insight into the mystery of His second arrival - announced to be and to become a ruling in Zion and from Zion, a reigning being measured in the most decisive terms. The Lord is coming to rule, to reign and to teach the nations to heed the Law of Zion, engaging them all to a renouncing of weapons of all kinds - which in the longer perspective means that there are nations, peoples and tongues who will survive Armageddon. Seeing this broader perspective, makes the watchmen rejoice - overflowing with praise. It will certainly turn around the all too common fearfulness into inner strength and rejoicing. There will be a survival, even a survival in Glory after the End!

Isa 2:2-4

"Awake, awake, put on thy strength, O Zion; put on thy beautiful garments, O Jerusalem, the holy city."

Isa 52:1

The "Last Days Church" has the right, has the privilege to dress herself in "Beautiful Garments", which may be interpreted into "sacred expectancy". The Church will be processed for privilege - the privilege of seeing the Lifted Arm of the Lord, even amidst the worst of troubles and disorder.

"How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, that publisheth peace, that bringeth good tidings of good, that publisheth salvation, that saith unto Zion, 'Thy God reigneth'"

Isa 52:7

Please, let your mind be engaged in a combining of the privilege of the "Lifted Arm" with the speaking to the Jewish contingent regarding the coming of the Messiah. "Jehovah hath made bare his holy arm in the eyes of all the nations." He has chosen a specific time frame for the many issues belonging to the end of History, and the Beginning of a new History. First and foremost, our days are days at the threshold of the Messiah, of the Redeemer coming to Zion, resolving the major obstacle of world peace. "The nations shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning-hooks; nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war anymore." This is one of the major paragraphs in the concept and privilege of "the Lifted Hand".

Isa 2:4

The privilege of the Lifted Hand lies ready to be used by the intercessors in their hidden prayer chambers and in the Solemn Assemblies. The Intercessors are engaged in the main issues of the work sheet of the Lord. His name has to be defended and secured in veracity and humility. His rights have to be sought out and to be projected for the nations to adhere to. The covering of the weak and needy, the orphans and the widows have to be established as a first issue - wherever there is a proper longing for recovery and recompense. In all these things the Church may rest with the privilege of the Lifted Hand.

That which cannot be divided

New teachings regarding Israel and the Church

From the first efforts around 1830, all through the decades, there have been rougher and rougher efforts to divide Israel from the Church.

Replacement or divestment are the terms used.

(Not to talk about the rampant antisemitism in the institutional churches.)

These new teachings are all trying to divide that which cannot be divided.

The people of God, the people for His praise, is one single unit, one single body.

One single Tree, one single Commonwealth.

Rom 9-11, Eph 2:12

A hot potato

Do we need lie-spotting among the saints?

Can we, in a general manner, trust saints?

Why do we need a gift of discernment??
