MidnightWatcher – Prophecy in Motion

By Mark Biltz – “Shalom one and all!

Well, here we are at the end of 2011!

2012 is just around the corner. I firmly believe this will be one of the most prophetically fulfilled years in a long time. With all that is happening in the Middle East among the Arab countries whose attempt at democracy will only produce terrorist countries with the Islamic brotherhood in control, you can’t help but believe God is at work in lining everything up. This is not time to fear but a time to get prepared for a huge harvest of souls. As the future becomes the present and fades into the past we will have a better understanding of where we are on the prophetic timeline. With the leader of Syria refusing to follow in the way of the former leaders of Egypt and Libya, I believe he will resort to attacking Israel as a way to divert attention from his own problems. This will only lead to the fulfillment of Is 17 when Israel responds and Iran gets involved. It is time to keep Israel in our prayers and that their leaders will make the right decisions and lean upon the Almighty for their help and not rely totally on foreign help.

On our recent trip to Israel we stopped at a military base and visited the troops there. We need to support these young men and women who are at the forefront of the battle. I can’t help but think of this verse:

1Sa 17:45 Then said David to the Philistine, you come to me with a sword, and with a spear, and with a shield: but I come to you in the name of the LORD of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied.

I can’t think of too many things better than to give our support directly to the soldiers who are actively in this army defending Israel. I am asking if anyone wants to directly support the IDF and know that 100% of the funds will be going directly to buying fleece jackets and supplies to keep the troops warm this winter then give to Israel Support Fund at this link http://www.israelsupportfund.org/beta/donate.php. This would be a great Chanukah gift for the troops. They will know that it is the friends of El Shaddai Ministries who are donating. On our homepage are pictures of some of the fleece jackets we have already delivered. www.elshaddaiministries.us

When I look at the current month we are in, the month of Kislev, and look at all the events that have happened in history during this month I can’t help but hold my breath and pray for all nations even during this month. On Dec 3rd this year which is Kislev 7, this is the day King Jehoiakim defied Jeremiah and burned the Torah scroll as recorded in Jeremiah 36. On Dec 11th, Kislev 15, is when the pagan altar was set up in the Holy Temple resulting in the story of Chanukah. On Dec 16th, Kislev 20, we read in Ezra 10 how it was decided Israel needed to purge themselves from all pagan influences. On Dec 20th, Kislev 24, we read in Haggai 2:20 how God will shake heaven and earth and will overthrow kingdoms for Israel’s sake. In particular the kingdom of Persia. Then of course we have the history of Chanukkah on the 25th of Kislev.

I want to also let everyone know, we now have a great Chanukah gift available which is our new El Shaddai calendar for this whole next year! It is completely done by El Shaddai with pictures taken from our trips to Israel! Special thanks to Tina Fallstead for all her work in putting this together. You can order yours here: http://www.elshaddaiministries.us/storefront/2012

Lastly I want to encourage those who are able to be sure and let us know if you want to attend our next years’ tour to Israel Nov 4th thru the 19th. We expect it to be our best trip ever!

Also, a word here to let people know all of our teachings are free on our website. The videos, audio, notes, powerpoint, etc. If you need help at first to navigate where they are be sure and let us know and we can help! Now for some exciting Hebrew insights!

The Hebrew letter ayin  looked like an eye in ancient times:

The picture meaning was ‘To see’. We all know God has told us we are to be His witnesses.

Isa 43:10 Ye are my witnesses, saith the LORD, and my servant whom I have chosen: that ye may know and believe me, and understand that I am he: before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me.

The Hebrew word for a witness is found in Strongs #5707 and it is . Hebrew going from right to left we see the two letters the Ayin and the Dalet . Well the Dalet  in Hebrew means ‘Door’. So we see God’s witnesses are those who ‘see the door’ to the house. What did Yeshua say?:

John 10:9 ‘I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture’.

Next month we will see what else is needed besides just seeing the door!

Be Blessed!
