Subject: from pc... David Herzog - How to Transition from Trials to

Blessings this Month!

Hi wonderful Southside family,

There's some really good information from David Herzog here about the season we're in and what people areexperiencing.

It's nice to know that the Holy Spirit is giving a lot of us the same messages!

Enjoy! 

From the Desk of

DAVID HERZOG How to make the transition this month!

Hello Friend,

This month is the beginning of a HUGE shift that is about to happen in your life. How you make this transition right now will determine if you go through this season with great blessing and promotion, or loss and having to go around the mountain one more time.

We have just come out of the month of AV on the Hebrew calendar. This has always been a testing month, just as it was with Israel in the wilderness. Between now and the fall feasts there are things to watch out for.

Many have been in the testing time, as their pressures increase and God starts to deal with emotions, thoughts, hurts, and the warfare often increases on multiple levels. How you pass this testing time determines if your new season will be that of your "promised land" or another season in the desert.

1st Peter 4:12, "Dear friends don't he surprised at the fiery trials you are going through, as if some strange thing were happening to you." 

Many are suddenly alarmed at the surprise trials, betrayals, testings and attacks that seem to come in this season. Know that you are not alone. The enemy often uses psychological and emotional warfare to get you into bitterness, anger, fear, un-forgiveness, anger etc. He knows that if He can get you in the flesh you can hinder your destiny for yet another season.

Once you realize this is only a test then its much easier to go through it. Embrace the cross. This means embrace the testing, love people, forgive those who betray you, repent if you have wronged others or held grudges and out of hurt and cut off people, stay in the spirit, keep your joy, stay in the word and keep declaring the goodness of God. Then when you have done all to stand, just stand. When the dust settles you will be in a new place in many areas of your life.

If you give in to the pressures and do things in the flesh, you end up going around the same mountain, and through the same trials. (Just with a different set of people and situations.) Getting out of Egypt is not the same as getting Egypt out of you. Moses missed out on entering the promised land due to unresolved anger. We can't bring the same old issues into the New. To get the victors crown in this race we are all running we have to let them go and "lay aside every weight and the sin which so easily besets us.."

We have heard so many stories recently from pastors and leaders, of people that suddenly just quit their job or positions the same day with no warning or notice leaving people in a mess allowing the enemy to steal their blessing by default. This is a huge red flag, of people thinking more about self, and did not pass the testings and pressures God's way but just bailed off their "Cross" and season of testing without transitioning in God's timing with love and clarity. Thus not bringing blessing in their transition. Anything not done in love is sin so the justifications people come up with almost never pass the love test.

If you have not passed the love test and did exactly that, the only solution is to repent and make it right with those people, businesses, or ministries you betrayed out of self-preservation. Especially now in this season as we are coming into the season of repentance leading up to Yum Kippur.

We have been in full time ministry for over 25 years, and have seen this same pattern play out over and over and seen the amazing favor and promotions for those who did it right, including when we transitioned to where we are now, and those who totally just reacted in the flesh and did things their way with much loss in their life and callings, delaying things for years when they were almost at the finish line of their next assignment and promotion. For those of you in the fire of testing, stay in the spirit with praise and worship, keep your mind clear by declaring the word of God and prophetic words over your life. Stay in the spirit of love which always forgives, releases, thinks the best, hopes the best, and does all for the benefit of others and God. If you stay in the right spirit even during your trials the next verse below is the promise God gives you 1 Peter 4:13, "Instead, because you are participating in the sufferings of the Messiah, keep on rejoicing, so that you may he glad and shout for Joy when His glory is revealed." 

There is a new glory, favor, power, promotion and blessing coming at the end of your trial as we come into the feasts starting this coming weekend! This is the great news! If you have been in some major testing and trials it means that the glory and breakthrough (if you pass the test with the right heart) will be greater than the trial you just went through! Some months it seems like its harder to connect with God and get into His high glory as other months. That season is about to change as we are not in the month of Elul and about to enter the exciting fall feasts! The month of Elul means The King is in the field." This means its a month that its easier to access the highest intimacy and glory of God. God seems to be much nearer to many during this upcoming season as many suddenly start to get major visitation from the King and prayers suddenly seem to be answered quickly. This IS a month to fix what has been broken.

Elul is the sixth of the twelve months of the Jewish calendar. Elul is called “The month of repentance,” “The month of mercy,” and “The month of forgiveness.” Elul follows the two previous months of Tammuz and Av, the months of the two great sins of Israel, the sin of the golden calf and the sin of the spies. It's the season to repent of failures from the past season and make it right with those that you have hurt out of offense. The bible even says to leave your gift at the altar and go makes things right with you brother then your prayers will be answered.

This is the month that “The King is in the field" (2 Sam. 10:1). All can approach Him, and He shines His countenance upon everyone.This is a time when God comes into your field— where you live—to make Himself accessible and surprise you with His presence. Where as in other seasons it might have seemed harder to access the same level of closeness to Him as it is this new season.

Elul is the month of the tribe of Gad. This is a good, transitional month, being the last month of the old year, which precedes the Tall feasts. The month of Gad also means "good fortune." There should be an expectation of good fortune throughout the month. Rewards will begin to manifest according to what you have done. That's why it's so important to deal with old sins, hurts and issues now before the fall feasts starts so that stay in God's favor, blessings and especially intimacy with Him. This will carry you until the next major season during Passover. This is the month to be sure your emotions and actions are submitted to the Lord.

We are entering the year 5778. (Eight is the number of new beginnings!) Rosh Hashanah or Head of the Year this September is one of those super prophetic seasons where God speaks to His people in a very powerful way. Many prophetic ministers and believers receive great heavenly visitation and huge favor and blessing during this time when they set time aside to be with Him and His people together. We call these times "seasonal portals" seasons of time where God promises to visit in a certain way if we just show up to the appointment. Also in heaven huge things occur during these kairos times and we have come to realize that when we sync on earth with heaven at the same kairos time when heaven is celebrating these specific seasons we get a huge download often more than other times in the year because those are specific seasons God set up where things are occurring in the heavens. Knowing what God is about to do, and positioning yourself for it, is the key to riding the wave of God's move on the earth with great blessing and favor.

This season is one of the times that God promises to visit and bless in an extraordinary way. it's also the season where major shifts occur in the earth. God promises to do nothing before revealing it to his servants and prophets. Come enter into the major shift and glory visitation during Rosh Hashanah and be aligned correctly for the coming year for Awakening in your life, in America and in the nations. 

Another thing is to give God an offering to worship Him during during "Head of the Year" which is celebrated this coming weekend, God promises to bless us greatly when we bring him a sacrificial offering. This combined with our repentance, forgiveness, praise and worship, faith, and offerings causes huge blessing to come back to us!

ASBESTOS ..... RUSSIA and the rest of us

Russia Hides Cancer Risks to Protect Its Role as the World’s Asbestos Dealer

By Dr. Mercola

In the U.S., when people hear the word “asbestos,” the first thing that comes to mind is cancer. So, it may surprise you that this way of thinking is not universal, particularly in Russia where the asbestos industry is not only alive, but thriving. The term “asbestos” is used to describe six types of asbestos minerals: chrysotile, amosite, crocidolite, tremolite, anthophyllite and actinolite — all of which are carcinogenic to humans.1

Asbestos, a naturally occurring mineral used worldwide in a variety of commercial products, is so toxic that even low-level exposure can cause lung cancer and other terminal diseases, including mesothelioma, a rare but aggressive form of cancer that can develop in the lungs, stomach or heart. Victims who contract this disease have a very low survival rate.2

Although many believe asbestos production is a thing of the past, the world’s asbestos industry remains profitable in many nations including in the U.S., Russia, China and India. The featured film, an episode of VICE Reports titled, “Why the Deadly Asbestos Industry Is Still Alive and Well,” reveals that despite the health dangers, 2 million tons of asbestos are exported every year to the developing world, where it’s highly unregulated and poses serious health risks.

In the film, VICE correspondent Milène Larsson travels to the world’s largest asbestos mine in Asbest, Russia. Asbest, which is Russian for “asbestos,” lies on the eastern slopes of the Ural Mountains and is home to 70,000 people — nearly all of whom are financially dependent on the asbestos mine.

Russian Mining Town Showcases Its Pride for Asbestos

Asbestos, which occurs as a long thin fiber in the environment, kills more than 100,00 people each year and is banned in 60 countries.3Yet, Russia remains the world’s largest producer, exporting more than half of the world’s asbestos supply.  If asbestos is so toxic, why is it still being used? What health effects are workers and residents living near asbestos mines experiencing?

VICE reporter Larsson set out to answer these questions and more by traveling to Asbest, Russia, where she observed firsthand the mining industry’s powerful influence over the city and its citizens. Seventy percent of the income in Asbest is dependent on the mine, she reports, which is owned by the Russian mining company Uralasbest. In Asbest, the asbestos industry is king.

The city’s pride for the industry can be seen in large asbestos-promoting banners hung all over town. Asbest even has an asbestos-themed anthem and a monument made of asbestos, symbolizing the city’s strange admiration for the deadly carcinogen. The first place Larsson visits is the asbestos mine, where half a million tons of asbestos are mined each year.  

She is seen standing at the edge of the mine, which is about half the size of the island of Manhattan,4 wearing head-to-toe protective gear — what’s legally required in the U.S. and Europe when exposed to asbestos.

Locals, on the other hand, are seen in plain clothes, marveling at the view of the mine as if it’s their favorite pastime. The locals point and laugh at Larsson’s hazmat suit, making light of what they perceive to be overly cautious attire. “Are you not worried about the dust and asbestos fibers coming out of the mine?” she asks. “No, we’re not worried about anything in general,” they reply. “Things happen to you only when you are afraid of them.”

Russia Embraces Asbestos Despite Health Risks

Despite their remarks, the scientific literature overwhelmingly states that all levels of asbestos exposure may cause asbestos-related disease, and there is no safe level of exposure according to the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health.5 It’s clear that the people of Asbest are not afraid of the mine, however. In fact, it’s viewed as a popular tourist attraction and a hot spot for taking wedding photos.

To showcase its long history with asbestos, the city has an asbestos history museum, which the VICE reporter visits to get a better handle on the community’s relationship with the asbestos industry.

The historian tells Larsson that Russia’s first asbestos depository was discovered in 1720 by a peasant named Safron Sagra, whose wife is said to have made mittens out of the mineral after he brought it home one night. According to the legend, the couple discovered the fireproof properties of asbestos after the mittens caught fire but did not burn.

News of the mineral’s value quickly spread, and by 1918, all of the mines were nationalized and owned by the Russian government. Entire economies were soon built around the asbestos industry, which employs 38,500 Russians. Another 400,000 depend on the asbestos mines for their livelihood, according to The New York Times, which adds:6

“Asbest is a legacy of the philosophy known as gigantism in Soviet industrial planning. Many cities wound up with only one, huge factory like this town’s sprawling asbestos plant. The cities, known as monotowns, were an important engine of the economy.

A Russian government study counted 467 cities and 332 smaller towns that depend on a single factory or mine. A total of 25 million people out of Russia’s population of 142 million people live in towns with only one main industry that cannot close, even if it is polluting.”

Today, locals describe a layer of asbestos dust that covers everything from their homes to their vegetable gardens. Yet, many seem unafraid of the health risks of asbestos and instead have accepted the contamination as a way of life.

Good Luck Finding the Truth: Locals in Asbest Are Reluctant to Discuss Health Effects

Determined to speak with someone about the true health effects of asbestos, Larsson meets with a retired mine worker who says he is skeptical of the mineral, but admits it’s impossible to know how many workers have been sickened by the mine. “Factories are too proud to admit that,” he says.

Discouraged by the locals’ refusal to talk candidly about the dangers of asbestos, Larsson wonders whether physicians and officials in Russia are aware of the health risks posed to workers and residents living near asbestos mines. So, she visits the Ural Oncology Center in Yekaterinburg, Russia, to meet with oncologist Dr. Sergey Berezin.

Berezin says the most common types of cancer he sees are lung cancer in men and breast cancer in women, but he denies having patients sickened from asbestos. As if that weren’t shocking enough, the oncologist admits that he completed his medical residency in the asbestos mining town and found the air to be “quite satisfying.”

He then leads Larsson to his office where he shows her decorations made from asbestos before stating that his sauna roof in the summer home he’s owned for 30 years is made from asbestos. Larsson, whose face is frozen in shock, asks to speak to some of Berezin’s patients, but he refuses. So, she heads to the local hospital in Asbest, but getting patients to talk negatively about asbestos proves difficult.

However, one women is heard saying: “You won’t find the real truth anywhere. Who will say? Everyone is afraid.” It quickly becomes clear that no one in Asbest is willing to speak negatively about the mine. The whole town relies on the industry, says Larsson, adding that the mining company owns everything down to the schools, churches and even the soccer team.

World Health Organization Asbestos Researcher Has Industry Ties

Hoping to escape the industry’s influence in Asbest, Larsson travels to Moscow to meet with the head of the Russian Academy of Medical Sciences, Dr. Evgeny Kovalevskiy, who is researching worker health in Asbest on behalf of the World Health Organization (WHO). When asked if it’s dangerous to live next to an asbestos mine, he replies, “Life is dangerous. It is hard to measure asbestos’ role because the Sverdlovsk Region is nearby and is very industrial. They have serious ecological problems.”

Larsson asks Kovalevskiy what his eight years of research has found about the health effects of asbestos, but he again dodges the question saying that like any epidemiological study, the “final results will take years.” Larsson wonders whether his reluctance to answer is a result of his alleged industry ties. In March 2013, a group of acclaimed scientists petitioned the WHO to end their relationship with Kovalevskiy over ethical questions surrounding his ties to the asbestos industry.

“We call on you to terminate IARC’s collaboration with the Scientific Research Institute of Occupational Health of the Russian Academy of Medical Sciences (RAMS) and with Dr. Evgeny Kovalevskiy because of unethical and improper scientific conduct on their part — conduct which is incompatible with the standards expected of IARC or any reputable scientific agency.”7

Developing World Faces an Epidemic of Asbestos-Related Disease

Russia is so protective of its asbestos industry that it has stopped recording mesothelioma as a separate type of cancer and is instead lumping it in with other diseases so that it’s no longer identifiable, says Dr. Arthur Frank, professor and chair emeritus of environmental and occupational health at Drexel University. But the absence of data doesn’t mean the absence of disease, he says, adding that the asbestos industry is using similar tactics as Big Tobacco in terms of concealing the industry’s health risks.

These tactics seem to be working in countries like China and India, which rely heavily on asbestos for building insulation and materials and automotive parts. In India, the asbestos industry provides 300,000 jobs and is worth $2 billion.8 The nation is also the world’s largest importer of asbestos, the majority of which it buys from Russia.

Frank predicts that the developing world is on the brink of an epidemic caused by asbestos-related diseases. While the U.S. is not immune to the dangers of asbestos, as it too has seen an epidemic of asbestos-related diseases, it’s nothing like what we will see in the developing world, he says.

Thousands of American Products Made With Asbestos

Similar to Russia today, the U.S. once had a booming asbestos industry, mining 137,000 tons at its peak in 1973.9 Deemed the “magic mineral,” asbestos was used in thousands of American products. It was heavily used by the military to insulate and fireproof ships, tanks, aircrafts and vehicles. The military relied on the mineral so extensively that 33 percent of mesothelioma victims in the U.S. are military veterans.10

However, no one was more affected by the deadly mineral than the residents of Libby, Montana, where asbestos killed hundreds and sickened thousands. The city is home to one of America’s worst man-made environmental disasters, notes the film. In 1919, companies began pulling vermiculite, which is often found alongside tremolite — a form of asbestos — from the mine in Libby, Montana.  Known commercially as zonolite, vermiculite was used in a variety of construction materials including as insulation for homes and buildings.

The Environmental Protection Agency estimates that vermiculite was installed in more than 35 million American homes. Decades of mining vermiculite exposed workers and residents to toxic asbestos dust. The film shows Larsson traveling to Libby to speak with victims sickened by asbestos. “I just think I’ve been cheated.

They should’ve warned the people in this town about the seriousness of it. They got away with murder,” says Libby resident Don Munsel, who never worked in the mine but was exposed to asbestos dust carried in from his stepfather who worked in the mine.

Libby Residents Describe the Horror Caused by Asbestos

Larsson also talks with former mine workers Dean and Marilyn Norton who express anger and frustration with W.R. Grace, the company that owned the mine. “As beautiful as this country is, it killed us,” says Marilyn. “I know it’s going to kill me, and it’s probably going to kill my kids and my husband too,” she says, adding that it’s really W.R Grace that’s responsible. “They knew.”

The asbestos mined in Libby is a different kind than what’s mined in Russia. However, studies show conclusively that all types of asbestos cause cancer. Asbestos is a criminal industry, says Nicholas Ashford, a professor at MIT and former chair of the National Advisory Committee on Occupational Safety and Health.

Fifteen epidemiological societies say the asbestos industry should have been regarded as a hazard, he tells Larsson in the film. “When you disregard worker and public health, you’re committing murder,” says Ashford. “You can argue you don’t know which worker you’re murdering, but as a whole, the statistics are very clear.”

Many American Products Still Contain Asbestos

Asbestos is banned in many countries, but the U.S. isn’t one of them. While it’s not as widely used as it once was, asbestos is permitted in many American products as long as it consists of less than 1 percent asbestos.11 Some of these products include gaskets, roofing and fireproofing materials.

In 1973, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency started banning asbestos-containing products. In 1989, the agency banned most asbestos-containing products under Section 6 of Toxic Substances Control Act. But in 1991, the “rule was vacated” by the courts. As a result, most of the original ban on the manufacture, importation, processing or distribution of asbestos products was overturned.

Asbestos-containing products that are still legal in the U.S. include clothing, pipeline wrap, vinyl floor tire, friction materials, roof coatings and brake blocks. Asbestos-containing products that are now banned in the U.S. include corrugated paper, rollboard, commercial paper, specialty paper and flooring felt.12 While the last asbestos mine closed in 2002, the U.S. still imports about 1,000 tons of asbestos, most of which comes from Brazil.13

Asbestos’ Useful Properties Captivates Humans Throughout History

Throughout history, asbestos and its unique properties has captivated the attention of humans. Its original use dates back to the ancient Greeks, who valued the mineral for its fireproof properties. The word “asbestos” actually means “indistinguishable” in ancient Greek. The Greeks used the mineral in the wicks of their eternal flames, and wove the material into garments, napkins and table cloths, which they would throw into the fire and marvel at its unique ability to emerge clean and unburned.14

Despite its harmful properties, the mineral is still used all over the world. American homes built before 1980 still contain asbestos, which can be found in floor tiles, roofs, furnaces, plumbing, appliances, fireplaces and window caulking. People are often exposed when the fibers become dislodged over time due to normal wear and tear.

The U.S. is one of the only developed nations that has not completely banned asbestos. The mineral is prohibited in the EU, U.K. and Australia — with Canada next on the list to phase the mineral out completely by 2018. Attempts to ban asbestos in America have been squashed by the asbestos industry, which cites job losses and negative economic effects as reasons to keep the industry alive.

How to Protect Yourself Against Asbestos

Fortunately, there are ways to protect yourself against asbestos exposure. Those most often exposed to asbestos are construction workers who come across the material when working in homes or buildings where it was installed prior to today’s regulations. If you suspect you’ve encountered asbestos, stop working and notify professionals. The safest way to handle asbestos is through a licensed contractor. However, if this isn’t possible, taking the following steps can reduce your exposure:15

• Wear protective gear including a suitable face mask
• Use hand tools instead of power tools to reduce dust
• Clean up as you go to prevent waste buildup
• Use a Type H vacuum or wet rags to clean up; do not sweep up dust and debris
• Wash before breaks and before going home

CHAPTER 30

Restoration promised

1.THE word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord, saying,

2. Thus speaks the Lord God of Israel saying, Write you all the words that I have spoken unto you in a book.

3. For, the days come, saith the Lord that I will bring again the captivity of my people Israel and Judah, and I will cause them to return to the land that I gave to their fathers, and they shall possess it. 

[EVERYWHERE  IN  THE  END  TIME  PROPHECIES  BEFORE  JESUS  RETURNS,  THE  PROPHETS  OF  OLD,  SAY  ISRAEL  AND  JUDAH  ARE  IN  CAPTIVITY  TO  THEIR  ENEMIES.  YES  THE  JEWS  ARE  ONLY  PART  OF  THE  13  TRIBES  OF  ISRAEL;  THEY  ARE  JUDAH,  BENJAMIN,  AND  LEVI  ONLY.  THE  OTHER  10  TRIBES  ARE  IN  THE  MAIN  THE  NORTH-WEST  NATIONS  OF  EUROPE,  THE  BITISH  COMMONWEALTH  AND  THE  UNITED  STATES  OF  AMERICA.  PROOF  OF  THIS  IS  ON  MY  WEBSITE  UNDER  THE  “HISTORY”  SECTION.  GOD  IS  TELLING  JEREMIAH  TO  WRITE  THIS  ALL  DOWN,  THE  HOUSE  OF  ISRAEL  WAS  ALREADY  IN  CAPTIVITY  FROM  THE  ASSYRIANS,  THE  HOUSE  OF  JUDAH  WOULD  GO  INTO  A  70  YEARS  CAPTIVITY  IN  THE  LIFE  TIME  OF  JEREMIAH.  GOD  WILL  BRING  AGAIN  [BRING  OUT  OF]  CAPTIVITY  THE  HOUSE  OF  ISRAEL  AND  THE  HOUSE  OF  JUDAH [THE  TWO  STICKS  HAVE  NOT  YET  BECOME  ONE  AGAIN - EZEKIEL  37]. THIS  GREAT  CAPTIVITY  FOR  ALL  13  TRIBES  OF  ISRAEL  IS  TO  TAKE  PLACE  ABOUT  3  AND  1/2  YEARS  BEFORE  JESUS  RETURNS.  THEY  ARE  IN  CAPTIVITY  WHEN  HE  RETURNS;  SO  ALL  THE  PROPHETS  PROCLAIM  -  Keith Hunt]

4. And  these  are  the  words  the  Lord  spoke concerning Israel and concerning Judah.

5. For thus saith the Lord; We have heard a voice of trembling, of fear, and not of peace.

6. Ask ye now, and see whether a man does travail with-child? Wherefore do I see every man with his hands on his loins, as a woman in travail, and all faces are turned into paleness.

7. Alas! for that day is GREAT! So none is like: it is even the time of Jacob’s trouble: but he shall be saved out of it.

[THIS  IS  THE  SAME  END  TIME  TROUBLE  JESUS  TALKED  ABOUT  IN  MATTHEW  24….A  TIME  OF  TROUBLE  UNMATCHED  IN  HUMAN  HISTORY  -  Keith Hunt]

8 For it shall come to pass in that day, says the Lord of hosts, that I will break his yoke from off your neck, and will burst your bonds, and strangers shall no more serve themselves of him:

9. But they shall serve the Lord their God, David their king, whom I will raise up unto them.

[HERE  WE  SEE  THE  CONTEXT,  YES  THE  CONTEXT….. IT  IS  THE  TIME  WHEN  DAVID  OF  OLD  WILL  BE  RESURRECTED,  AND  AS  MANY  OTHER  PROPHECIES  SHOW,  WILL  BE  OVER  THE  13  TRIBES  OF  ISRAEL;  JESUS  IN  THE  GOSPELS  PROMISED  EACH  ONE  OF  THE  12  APOSTLES  WOULD  REIGN  OVER  A  TRIBE  OF  ISRAEL….TAKE  A  LITTLE  TIME  AND  LOOK  THAT  UP  -  Keith Hunt]

Israel's chastening

10. Therefore fear you not, O my servant Jacob [JACOB  HAD  HIS  NAME  CHANGED  TO  “ISRAEL” - BOOK  OF  GENESIS - Keith Hunt] says  the  Lord, neither be dismayed, O Israel, for, lo, I will save you from afar,  and your seed from the land of their captivity; and Jacob shall return, and shall be in rest, and be quiet, and none shall make him afraid [IS THERE A NATION ON EARTH TODAY WHO IS LIKE THAT? I THINK NOT; IT IS YET TO HAPPEN - Keith Hunt]. 

11. For I am with you, saith the Lord, to save you: though I make a full end of all nations whither I have scattered you, yet will I not make a full end of you: but I will correct you in measure, and will not leave you altogether unpunished……

16. Therefore all they that devour you shall be devoured; all your adversaries, every one of them, shall go into captivity; and they that spoil you shall be a spoil, and all that prey upon you will I give for a prey.

17. For I will restore health unto you, and I will heal you of your wounds….

18-22. Thus saith the Lord; Behold, I will bring again the captivity of Jacob’s tents, and have mercy on his dwelling places; ….And out of them shall proceed thanksgiving and the voice of them that make merry; and I will multiply them….and you shall be my people and I will be your God.

[HAS THIS TAKEN PLACE ALREADY? NOT AT ALL! DO THE JEWS IN PALESTINE  WORSHIP GOD? NO THEY DO NOT! THEY ARE MAINLY, THE VAST MAJORITY, SECULAR - NOT RELIGIOUS!  THEY  ARE  NOT  GOD’S  PEOPLE SPIRITUALLY, THEY DO NOT HAVE  THE  ETERNAL  GOD  AS  THEIR  GOD!  Keith Hunt]

24. The fierce anger of the Lord shall not return, until He has done it, and until He has performed the intents of His heart: IN THE LATTER DAYS YOU SHALL CONSIDER IT!”

[THE  CONTEXT,  THE  CONTEXT….. THE TIME OF THE GREATEST TROUBLE ON EARTH AS NEVER HAS BEEN; THE TIME WHEN DAVID WILL BE RESURRECTED. MOST CAN  NOT  UNDERSTAND  BIBLE  PROPHECY  BECAUSE  THEY  WILL  NOT  SEE  THE  CONTEXT  -  Keith Hunt]

Chapter  31

1. AT  THE  SAME  TIME,  says  the  Lord, will I be the God of all the families of Israel, and they shall be my people.

[EVEN IF YOU THINK THE JEWS ARE ALL ISRAEL; HAVE THE JEWS AS A WHOLE PEOPLE BECOME RELIGIOUS AND HAVE THEY GOD? NO THE JEWS ARE 99 PERCENT SECULAR; THEY ARE NOT RELIGIOUS.  READ  ON  TO  VERSE  13.  SOME  WILL  SAY  THIS  IS  THE  JEWS  AS  THEY  RETURNED  TO  THE  HOLY  LAND  OVER  THE  LAST  100  YEARS  OR  SO.  NO,  THE  CONTEXT  PROVES  IT  NOT  SO;  THE  CONTEXT  PROVES  IT  IS  FOR  A  YET  FUTURE  TIME  -  Keith Hunt]

27. Behold, the days come, says the Lord, that I  will sow the house of  Israel and the house of Judah with the seed of man, and with the seed of  beast.

28. And it shall come to pass, like as I have watched over them to, to pluck up, and to break down, and to throw down, and to destroy, and to afflict; so will I watch over them, to build, and to plant, says the Lord.

29. IN THOSE DAYS [context, context please - Keith Hunt], they shall no more say, “The fathers have eaten sour grapes, and the children’s teeth are set on edge.”  

30. But every one shall die for his own iniquity, every man that eats sour grapes, his teeth shall be set on edge.

31. BEHOLD THE DAYS COME, says the Lord [context, context please - Keith Hunt], that I will MAKE A NEW COVENANT WITH THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL, AND WITH THE HOUSE OF JUDAH.

32. Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which my covenant they broke, although I was a husband unto them, says the Lord.

33. BUT THIS IS THE COVENANT THAT I WILL MAKE with the house of Israel [being the largest part standing for the all of Israel - Keith Hunt]. After those days, says the Lord, I WILL PUT MY LAWS IN THEIR INWARD PARTS, AND WRITE IT IN THEIR HEARTS; AND WILL BE THEIR GOD, AND THEY SHALL BE MY PEOPLE!

[HAS THIS EVER TAKEN PLACE? I THINK NOT THOUGH SOME MAY SAY BRITAIN AND THE USA WERE VERY RELIGIOUS AT ONE TIME; BUT READ ON  -  Keith Hunt]

34. And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, “KNOW THE LORD [DO YOU KNOW THE LORD BROTHER - Keith Hunt]; FOR THEY SHALL ALL KNOW ME, FROM THE LEAST OF THEM TO THE GREATEST OF THEM, SAYS THE LORD: FOR I WILL FORGIVE THEIR INIQUITY, AND I WILL REMEMBER THEIR SINS NO MORE…..

[CAN  WE  SAY  THIS  HAS  ALREADY  HAPPENED?  CAN  WE  SAY  IT  HAS  HAPPENED  TO  THE  JEWS?  I  THINK  NOT!  CAN  WE  SAY  IT  HAS  HAPPENED  TO  THE  WESTERN  WORLD?  IF  IT  DID,  IT  DID  NOT  STICK!  Keith Hunt]

THE  CONTEXT  SHOWS  IT  IS  FOR  THE  TIME  OF  THE  END,  THE  LATTER  DAYS;  THE  DAYS  WHEN  ISRAEL  AND  JUDAH  WILL  AGAIN  GO  INTO  CAPTIVITY,  AND  JESUS  HAS  TO  COME  TO  BRING  THEM  OUT  OF  IT….SEE  ISAIAH  11,  AS  IT  CONCERNS  THE  SAME  TIME…. THE  VERY  END  TIME  AS  THE  CONTEXT  MAKES  SO  PLAIN.

JEREMIAH  WAS  TO  WRITE  THIS  DOWN,  FOR  IT  WAS  TO  HAPPEN  AGAIN,  THE  CAPTIVITY  OF  ISRAEL  AND  JUDAH  AT  THE  LATTER  END,  THE  TIME  WHEN  DAVID  WAS  TO  BE  RAISED  UP - THE RESURRECTION  OF  THE  SAINTS  TIME - Keith Hunt]

Chapter 32

30. For  the  children  of  Israel  and  the  children  of  Judah  have  only  done  evil  before  me  from  their  youth…..

32. Because of the evil of the children of Israel and of the children of Judah, which they have done to provoke me to anger…..

33. And they have turned unto me their back, and not their face…..

34. But they have set their abominations in the house which is called by my name, to defile it…..

[THE CHURCHES/SYNAGOGUES OF ISRAEL AND JUDAH ARE FILLED WITH BABYLON MYSTERY RELIGION; ALL KINDS OF FALSE RELIGION, CUSTOMS, AND TRADITIONS - Keith Hunt]

SO  ISRAEL AND JUDAH WILL GO INTO CAPTIVITY AT THE END TIME; THEY WILL BE IN CAPTIVITY WHEN JESUS  COMES  -  Keith Hunt

37. Behold, I will gather them out of all countries, where I have driven them in my anger, and in my fury, and in great wrath; and I will BRING THEM AGAIN UNTO THIS PLACE, AND I WILL CAUSE THEM TO DWELL SAFELY!

[HAVE  THE  JEWS  OR  ANY  COUNTRY  IN  THE  WESTERN  WORLD,  ENJOYED  AND  LIVED “SAFELY”  IN  THE  LAST  100  YEARS?  I  THINK  NOT!  Keith Hunt]

38. AND THEY SHALL BE MY PEOPLE, AND I WILL VE THEIR GOD!

[ARE  THE  NATIONS  OF  THE  WESTERN  WORLD  SO  LIVING  TODAY?  I  THINK  NOT!  Keith Hunt]

39. AND I WILL GIVE THEM ONE HEART AND ONE WAY, THAT THEY MAY FEAR ME FOREVER, FOR THE GOOD OF THEM  AND  THEIR  CHILDREN  AFTER  THEM.

[HAS  THIS  TAKEN  PLACE?  IF  IT  HAS  IT  IS  NO  LONGER  TRUE,  AND  SO  GOD  IS  A  LIAR,  OR  HE’S  NOT  AS  POWERFUL  AS  HE  MAKES  OUT  HE  IS (SEE  VERSES 27, 17)  -  Keith Hunt]

40. AND  I  WILL  MAKE  AN  EVERLASTING  COVENANT  WITH  THEM,  THAT  I  WILL  NOT  TURN  AWAY  FROM  THEM,  TO  DO  THEM  GOOD;  BUT  I  WILL  PUT  MY  FEAR  IN  THEIR  HEARTS,  AND  THEY  SHALL  NOT  DEPART  FROM  ME!

[SURELY  WE  DO  NOT  HAVE  SOME  OUT  THERE  THAT  BELIEVED  THIS  HAS  HAPPENED?  IF  SO,  THEY  MUST  BE  FROM  PLANET  PLUTO  WITH  SILLY  CRAZY  THEOLOGY.  OR  AGAIN,  GOD  IS  NOT  ALL  THAT  POWERFUL,  AND  WAS  NOT  ABLE  TO  KEEP  THEM  FROM  FALLING  BACK  INTO  SINS,  I  MEAN  GROSS  SINS.  GOD  IS  ALL  POWERFUL  AND  NOTHING  IS  TOO  HARD  FOR  HIM (VERSE  27).  HE  WILL  BRING  THIS  TO  PASS,  FOR  IT  IS  YET  TO  TAKE  PLACE,  AND  WHEN  IT  DOES  THERE  WILL  BE  NO  TURNING  BACK,  AS  HE  SAID,  “THEY  WILL  NOT  DEPART  FROM  ME”  -  PRAISE  THE  LORD  -  Keith Hunt]

41. Yes I will rejoice over them to do them good,  and I will plant them in this land assuredly with my whole heart and with my whole life.

Chapter 33

7. And I will cause the captivity of Judah and the captivity of Israel to return, and I will build them as at the first.

8. And I will cleanse them from all their iniquity, whereby they have sinned against me, and I will pardon all their iniquities, whereby they have sinned, and whereby they have transgressed against me. 

9. And it shall be to me a name of joy, a praise and an honour before all the nations of the earth, which shall hear of all the good that I do unto them; and they shall fear and tremble for all the goodness and for all the prosperity that I procure unto it [my name on them].

14. Behold, the days come, says the Lord, that I will perform that good thing which I have promised unto the house of Israel and to the house of Judah.

15. IN THOSE DAYS, AND AT THAT TIME, WILL I CAUSE THE BRANCH OF RIGHTEOUSNESS TO GROW UP UNTO DAVID, AND HE SHALL EXECUTE JUDGMENT AND RIGHTEOUSNESS IN THE LAND.

[ALL  SCHOLARS  OF  ANY  REPUTE  KNOW  THIS  IS  TALKING  ABOUT  THE  MESSIAH  ON  EARTH  IN  THE  KINGDOM  OF  GOD,  THE  1,000  YEARS  REIGN  OF  REVELATION  20. Keith Hunt]

16. IN  THOSE  DAYS  SHALL  JUDAH  BE  SAVED  AND  JERUSALEM  SHALL  DWERLL  SAFELY….

[ARE  THE  JEWS  SAVED  TODAY?  IT  IS  A  LAUGH  FOR  ANYONE  TO  SAY  YES!  IF  THYE  DO  THEY  ARE  ALSO  FROM  PLANET  PLUTO  THEOLOGY.  THE  CONTEXT,  THE  CONTEXT!  THIS  IS  TO  HAPPEN  WHEN  THE  MESSIAH  COMES  IN  GLORY  TO  SAVE  THE  PEOPLE  OF  THE  HOUSE  OF  JUDAH  -  Keith Hunt]

16. …. and  this  is  that  name  wherewith  she  shall  bye  called.  THE  LORD  OUR  RIGHTEOUSNESS.

[JERUSALEM  WILL  DWELL  SAFELY;  CERTAINLY  SHE  DOES  NOT  DO  SO  TODAY,  AND  WILL  NOT  TILL  THE  MESSIAH  COMES  AGAIN.  THEN  SHE  WILL  BE  CALL;ED  “THE  LORD  OUR  RIGHTEOUSNESS”  FOR  JESUS  THE  RIGHTEOUS  ONE,  WILL  BE  DWELLING  IN  JERUSALEM - Keith Hunt]

YES  OH  PEOPLE  OF  ISRAEL  AND  JUDAH,  YOU  HAVE  BEEN  WEIGHED  IN  THE  BALANCES;  YOU  ARE  SINNERS  OF  THE  HIGHEST  ORDER,  EVEN  MONTHY  YOU  DELVE  INTO  MORE  SIN; YOU  CALL  SIN  RIGHTEOUSNESS  AND  RIGHTEOUSNESS  YOU  CALL  SIN.  YOU  ARE  ABOUNDING  IN  EVIL!

THE  DAY  OF  AT-ONE-MENT  HAS  THIS  MESSAGE,  YES,  BUT  IT  HAS  THE  MESSAGE  OF  BEING  AT  ONE  WITH  GOD.  YOUR  SINS  FORGIVEN;  A  NEW  HEART  AND  MIND  GIVEN  TO  YOU,  THE  SPIRIT  OF  THE  LORD,  WHEREBY  YOU  WILL  BE  ABLE  TO  SEE  CORRECTLY,  ABLE  TO  ENTER  A  NEW  COVENANT  WITH  GOD.  A  COVENANT  IMBEDDED  INTO  YOUR  MIND  AND  HEART,  THAT  YOU  WILL  NEVER  DEPART  FROM.
