Stones Crying Out

 Stones Crying Out - by Terry James - https://terryjamesprophecyline.com/2022/02/22/stones-crying-out/ We’ve talked several times about Jesus’ triumphal entry into Jerusalem, offering Himself as Israel’s Messiah. The people were exultant. So much had been seen and heard regarding Jesus’ miracles and transforming message as He taught through his travels with His immediate disciples. He was hailed by the massesas He sat atop that donkey, moving through the slopes and into the city. At the same time, those of the Jewish ecclesiastical class—the so-called Judaizers—decried the Lord’s movement into the city, seeing it as blasphemy. They believed He wasanything but sent from God. They were, as a matter of fact, determined to murder Him. They did, in fact, do so, through the Roman government, a short time later. The Jewish religious leaders were enraged at the way the people who believed (Jesus’ disciples) were responding to Jesus as He came toward Jerusalem. And when he was come nigh, even now at the descent of the mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for allthe mighty works that they had seen; Saying, Blessed be the King that cometh in the name of the Lord: peace in heaven, and glory in the highest. And some of the Pharisees from among the multitude said unto him, Master, rebuke thy disciples. And he answeredand said unto them, I tell you that, if these should hold their peace, the stones would immediately cry out. (Luke 19:37-40) Jesus was revealing a truth that few who read this passage really grasp: the truth about His relationship not just with people, but with the very creation—planet earth andall the cosmos. That is, all that God created. Remember the time on the Sea of Galilee when the little boat was about to be destroyed in the great storm that came up? Jesus was sleeping soundly when the disciples cameto Him and, with great fear of being swamped by the storm, wanted Him to know what was going on. The Lord simply said calmly “Peace, be still,” and the sea’s surface became instantly as slick as glass. Nature itself obeyed Jesus’ command, and His disciples, who hadbeen with Him and seen many miraculous things He did, were dumbfounded. They said, “What manner of man is this that even the sea obeys him?” Later, Jesus said that if He didn’t receive praise while He rode into Jerusalem showing He was that God/man–Israel’s Messiah King—all of nature would erupt in praise ofHim. Nature knows to not turn its back on the God who created it. Man, on the other hand, continues to do so without thinking twice. And mankind turning its back on God is what will ultimately bring the great geophysical and astrophysical upheavals of theTribulation as given in the book of Revelation. It is the Revelation, the unveiling of Christ for all of the rebels of earth at that time to witness. They will endure horrendous judgment and wrath, but they will know, in the end, that Jesus is Lord–the Creatorof everything that is. And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in thedens and in the rocks of the mountains; And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb: For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand? (Revelation6:15–17) But the rocks won’t obey them as they do the God who created them. Man will face God’s ultimate punishment for willfully, knowingly turning the back to Jesus Christ andthe great price He paid to redeem sin-condemned mankind if they would but accept God’s grace offer. We present numerous news stories of the increasing weather and geological upheavals at this late hour so near the end of the age. The climate change the New World Orderbuilders claim is man-made, thus, they proclaim, can only be dealt with by man, is beginning to ratchet up. But it is the stones–nature— beginning to cry out because wicked mankind is determined to remove God from heavenly governance. These phenomena are scheduledto get worse–much, much worse. The Jewish religious hierarchy continues to misunderstand God’s truth regarding all this. They almost get it, but still don’t understand who is Israel’s Messiah. Excerptsof a recent report make this clear. Two earthquakes shook northern Israel within a few hours, bringing the total of earthquakes in Israel this month up to four. Scientists are issuing dire warnings of imminentdoom, but rabbis point to the prophecies as proof that people who have faith, have nothing to fear and even that the Messiah’s arrival is “speeding up.”… Rabbi Lazer Brody, an American-born Hasidic rabbi from Ashdod, explained that earthquakes and other signs of the end-of-days would begin appearing at an even faster pace. “People don’t need to wonder about this,” Rabbi Brody said. “The sages wrote that when the fate of Israel would be in the hands of the Erev Rav (mixed multitude), God willspeed up the geula (redemption). And that is precisely the government Israel has right now. They are telling Jews that we can’t live in the Negev, Judea and Samaria, and now they are even kicking Jews out of their houses in the Shimon HaTzaddik neighborhoodin Jerusalem.” “This is Hashem having mercy on us by speeding up Moshiach (Messiah), like he did at the end in Egypt.” (“Israel hit with two earthquakes in ten hours, 4 in one month; ‘AcceleratingMessiah’s arrival,’” by Adam Eliyahu Berkowitz | Feb 16, 2022 | Biblical News) Like we’ve looked at many times in these articles, we’ve come again to times described by Paul in Romans chapter 1. People in America and around the world have largely turnedtheir backs on God. The results are a collective reprobate mindset. We can expect, with this rebellion, nothing less than what the Lord Himself said about this condition. I tell you that, if these should hold their peace, the stones would immediately cry out. (Luke 19:37–40) But God’s judgment and wrath are not reserved for believers who praise Him (Revelation 3:10). So take heart. He will rescue believers from the Tribulation storm that’s coming.He is saying even now to us as we look upon this tumultuous sea of rebellious humanity and all the wickedness it engenders, “Peace. Be still.” VISIT: PROPHECY WATCHER WEEKLY NEWS: HTTP://PROPHECY-WATCHER-WEEKLY-NEWS.BLOGSPOT.COM
