Numbers 24:8,9: ” God  brought him forth out of Egypt; he hath as it were the strength of an unicorn (not the one- horned horse of mythology, but a wild beast, often believed to be a wild ox):  he shall eat up the nations his enemies, and shall break their bones, and pierce them through with his arrows.

He couched, he lay down as a lion: who shall stir him up?  Blessed is he that blesseth thee, and cursed is he that curseth thee.”

Spiritual symbolism, that we see in events as they take place, it’s really a good gauge of where we are and who who is, (I know that is weird way of stating that, but it is ok, because that is how we are gonna do it)

We have no doubt who really is behind the hatred toward the Jews and Israel, always been and will be until the Lord returns and The Lion of Judah truly roars.

Not only do we have all these crackpots to deal with but now we have the newly resurrected “Christian” hatred of them also.

I really do not understand why these people think that they are so special.

The argument supposes that the ‘church” replaced Israel, better known as replacement theology, which is absolutely not true and essentially is the equivalent of an adopted child screaming and throwing a temper tantrum toward their fathers’ biological child.

I would also love to know what book they are reading and just how well they have studied the book they claim to live by, if they had any knowledge whatsoever, they would know better.

Israel is the chosen, the Christians believers are adopted in, Same God, Same family.

Then we have the other group also persecuting the Jews, protesting and proclaiming that they themselves are Jews, Well Jesus answered that one in his admonishment to the church of Smyrna.

REVELATION 2:8,9: “And unto the Angel of the church of Smyrna write; These things saith the first and the last, which was dead, and is alive;

I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say that they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan.”

All these groups, thoughts, demons, and degenerates all coming at Isreal.

Proof in the pudding being some of that symbolism, such as the propaganda murals that Hamas used at their hostage release “ceremonies”, one image of the Hamas fist, had five fingers, I knew something was off with it and then actually someone else pointed it out, so it’s like, Goliath much?

The ancient battle against the Philistines, led by their hero, the giant Goliath who had five fingers instead of four, a physical trait of the giants.

I do realize that AI is well known for not quite having the knack of realistic fingers, toes, or hands, or feet quite yet, but I really don’t believe these five fingered fists were simply an AI error.

The next go round, an image of Sinwar, his head and torso human but his lower half growing up out of the ground, his legs depicted as tree trunks with huge trailing branches, seems like a fantasy-filled Philistine memorial to their dead leader, until you realize that Satan who is referenced by many names is also referenced as a tree in the book of Ezekiel.

I would have loved to see what other symbolisms lurk in those murals, but they were always shown so fast, and my heart was always on those released. 

Now to get on with Lion Rising, Israel being God’s chosen often uses scripture in choosing operation names, and as believers, we understand the term Lion of Judah to reference the second coming of Christ. 

Which I find fascinating, the Jews see their side of the covenant, and we see our side, the Messianic Jews see both sides.

The rising lion mirrors the rise of the Lion of Judah.

I’ll give a passage for that in a bit.

Now for America, anyone really believe it’s over with Iran? No, don’t think so.

This is the hardest part to explain. America is now under more God centered leadership and that is absolutely awesome, a little more time for those who will, to come to the Lord.

But in the meantime, we still have all the God-Haters and true anti-American forces hard at work still trying to make our nation a communist playground and New York right now is the hub, as it has been for a while.

We truly are becoming two nations, the true America and unfortunately the continued rise of Mystery Babylon and that is something that will continue, because the demonic forces behind it are determined to destroy everything our nation has stood for, truth, honesty, justice, mercy, and a foundation built on Jehovah God.

It is the same reason that the enemy has always sought to destroy Israel. 

The decision to choose the name Midnight Hammer was also a telling tale, as telling as Rising Lion.

Most know that one of the parables refer to the bridegroom returning at midnight, it’s often referred to as the midnight cry and you can equate it to the rapture of the church.

When dudes were deciding this name, I really don’t know what they were thinking, maybe it just sounded cool, like people like the saying, “Bringing the hammer down”, but here is our problem, there really is a nation referred to a hammer in scripture. 

That nation is Babylon.

The latter-day Mystery Babylon judgment pronounced by Jeremiah the prophet along with the original judgment against ancient Babylon.

I was just thinking, why people? why did you have to name it that? Why couldn’t they have done something like Operation Nukes No More, no we got Rising Lion and Midnight Hammer.

At the end of it all, it’s every election, every state, deciding our national fate but God will never allow those who wish to destroy our nation to prevail, he will take care of all that, as he will take all his people out of harm’s way before that day.

Pray for those revivals, pray for people to wake up and understand the truth and that more will fight the forces of socialism, by voicing the truth and turning away from all the hate and negativity, take the attention away from the attention seekers, they will eventually shut up.

Pray that others will see the truth in that standing with Israel is the only reason we have been allowed to stand.

And here is our passage, to establish who the Lion of Judah is.

REVELATION 5:4,5: ” And I wept much, because no man was found worthy to open and to read the book, neither to look thereon.

And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the lion of the tribe of Juda, the root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof.“

REVELATION 22: 16: ” I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star.”

Hearing the Roar:

JEREMIAH 25: 30,31,”Therefore prophesy thou against them all these words, and say unto them, The LORD shall roar from on high and utter his voice from his holy habitation; he shall mightily roar upon his habitation; he shall give a shout, as they that tread the grapes, against all the inhabiters of the earth.

A noise shall come even to the ends of the earth; for the LORD hath a controversy with the nations, he will plead with all flesh; he will give them that are wicked to the sword, saith the LORD.”

JOEL 3:13-17: ” The LORD also shall roar out of Zion and utter his voice from Jerusalem; and the heavens and the earth shall shake: but the LORD will be the hope of his people, and the strength of the children of Israel. 

So shall ye know that I am the LORD your God dwelling in ZION, my holy mountain: then shall Jerusalem be holy, and there shall no strangers pass through her any more.”

That kinda gives us all the points and there are many other scriptures complete with descriptive justice that will be poured out in that day.

Watch, watch like you’ve never watched before, the lion surely is rising, and deliverance will soon one day be on the way.

Blessing & Peace until next time!

*** Also post image created with AI, as a symbolic image of Israel and America standing together. The flags twisted and out of sorts represents standing despite a hard struggle.

The lion merely part of that symbolism and in NO way meant to represent the Lord or any attempt in producing a graven image of such***
