Is UNITY possible?

Genesis 10:5

King James Version

5 By these were the isles of the Gentiles 

divided in their lands; every one after his tongue, 

after their families, in their nations.

If you're born again, the HOLY SPIRIT will teach you.

And boy, will He teach you "stuff".

Stuff the world is not aware of.

Stuff the world may not want to accept.

Stuff the world will try struggling against.

And yet the Bible says it all.

So we ask, is unity possible?

Is peace possible?

Are man's efforts sufficient in obtaining peace?

Will president Trump succeed in his peace plan?

Will terrorists lay down their arms?

If peace is obtained, can it hold?

Will people ever speak the "same" language?

Will the accords be of one "accord"?

First, we need to know man's ways.

Second, we need to know the world's ways.

Third, we need to know Satan's ways.

Are those in consonance with GOD's ways?

Fourth, we look to what the ancients have done.

And how GOD responded.

Let's have a look at how it was.

Before the next batch of trouble began:

Genesis 11:1

King James Version

11 And the whole earth was of one language, 

and of one speech.

Did that last?

Or did something come up?

Genesis 11:2-4

King James Version

2 And it came to pass, 

as they journeyed from the east, 

that they found a plain in the land of Shinar; 

and they dwelt there.

3 And they said one to another, 

Go to, let us make brick, 

and burn them thoroughly. 

And they had brick for stone, 

and slime had they for morter.

4 And they said, 

Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, 

whose top may reach unto heaven; 

and let us make us a name, 

lest we be scattered abroad 

upon the face of the whole earth.

How did GOD look upon this?

Genesis 11:5-6

King James Version

5 And the Lord came down 

to see the city and the tower, 

which the children of men builded.

6 And the Lord said, 

Behold, the people is one, 

and they have all one language; 

and this they begin to do: 

and now nothing will be restrained from them, 

which they have imagined to do.

Reminds us of what GOD thought, and did, after man's fall in the garden of Eden.

Genesis 3:22-24

King James Version

22 And the Lord God said, 

Behold, the man is become as one of us, 

to know good and evil: 

and now, lest he put forth his hand, 

and take also of the tree of life, and eat, 

and live for ever:

23 Therefore the Lord God sent him forth 

from the garden of Eden, 

to till the ground from whence he was taken.

24 So he drove out the man; 

and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden 

Cherubims, and a flaming sword 

which turned every way, 

to keep the way of the tree of life.

What did the LORD do with the ambitious, deluded people of Shinar?

Genesis 11:7-8

King James Version

7 Go to, let us go down, 

and there confound their language, 

that they may not understand one another's speech.

8 So the Lord scattered them abroad from thence 

upon the face of all the earth: 

and they left off to build the city.

The result?

Genesis 11:9

King James Version

9 Therefore is the name of it called Babel; 

because the Lord did there confound 

the language of all the earth: 

and from thence did the Lord scatter them abroad 

upon the face of all the earth.

Let's not forget the leader of Babel, too.

Coming from the seed of Noah:

Genesis 10:1

King James Version

10 Now these are the generations 

of the sons of Noah, 

Shem, Ham, and Japheth: 

and unto them were sons born 

after the flood.

Genesis 10:6-7

King James Version

6 And the sons of Ham; 

Cush, and Mizraim, and Phut, and Canaan.

7 And the sons of Cush; 

Seba, and Havilah, and Sabtah, 

and Raamah, and Sabtechah: 

and the sons of Raamah; Sheba, and Dedan.

Genesis 10:8-12

King James Version

8 And Cush begat Nimrod: 

he began to be a mighty one in the earth.

9 He was a mighty hunter before the Lord: 

wherefore it is said, Even as Nimrod 

the mighty hunter before the Lord.

10 And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel, 

and Erech, and Accad, and Calneh, 

in the land of Shinar.

11 Out of that land went forth Asshur, 

and builded Nineveh, 

and the city Rehoboth, and Calah,

12 And Resen between Nineveh and Calah: 

the same is a great city.

Forget unifying organizations.

We are all failed, fallen policy-makers.

There will be no unity.

There will be no peace.

Until it starts with the Gentiles.

Romans 11:25

King James Version

25 For I would not, brethren, 

that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, 

lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; 

that blindness in part is happened to Israel, 

until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.

And ends with the Jews.

JESUS declared that Himself.

Matthew 23:39

King James Version

39 For I say unto you, 

Ye shall not see me henceforth, till ye shall say, 

Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.

GOD spoke about Israel, through prophet Hosea as well.

Hosea 5:15

King James Version

15 I will go and return to my place, 

till they acknowledge their offence, 

and seek my face: 

in their affliction they will seek me early.

We all need GOD, and His grace, and blessings, if we intend to build families, communities, cities, and nations.

Psalm 127:1

King James Version

127 Except the Lord build the house, 

they labour in vain that build it: 

except the Lord keep the city, 

the watchman waketh but in vain.

The United Nations cannot broker peace.

They don't even honor Israel, GOD's chosen nation.

Any organization which doesn't honor Israel will simply fail in its misguided peace efforts.

You cannot take away GOD's nation from the equation.

When will people ever realize that?

As the late Chuck Missler said,

"I don't see any peace, until the Prince of Peace comes."

-- Before Jesus Can Return…With Chuck Missler

For now, the earth and her unbelievers groan, in chaos, not realizing all they have to do is CALL upon JESUS.

Peace can only come through JESUS, the PRINCE of PEACE.

Isaiah 9:6

King James Version

6 For unto us a child is born, 

unto us a son is given: 

and the government shall be upon his shoulder: 

and his name shall be called Wonderful, 

Counsellor, 

The mighty God, 

The everlasting Father, 

The Prince of Peace.

DAVID's mighty MEN

 

Psalm 127:1

King James Version

127 Except the Lord build the house, 

they labour in vain that build it: 

except the Lord keep the city, 

the watchman waketh but in vain.

Funny how SPIRIT led me to this article.

First, He made me pay attention to the word "tenant".

After which, as a natural recourse, He knew I'd turn to the word "lieutenant".

And play some more with that word, thinking, in "lieu" of a "tenant".

But, of course, SPIRIT wanted me to focus on the word "lieutenant".

And this is what I learned from AV1611:

LIEUTENANT, n. luten'ant. L. tenens, holding.

1. An officer who supplies the place of a superior in his absence. Officers of this kind are civil, as the lord-lieutenant of a kingdom or county; or military, as a lieutenant general, a lieutenant colonel.

2. In military affairs, the second commissioned officer in a company of infantry cavalry or artillery.

3. In ships of war, the officer next in rank to the captain.

Knowing I've warmed up to the idea, SPIRIT then led me to some verses in the Old Testament, which led me to king David.

2 Samuel 23:1-2

King James Version

23 Now these be the last words of David. 

David the son of Jesse said, 

and the man who was raised up on high, 

the anointed of the God of Jacob, 

and the sweet psalmist of Israel, said,

2 The Spirit of the Lord spake by me, 

and his word was in my tongue.

GOD told David how leaders ought to be:

2 Samuel 23:3

King James Version

3 The God of Israel said, 

the Rock of Israel spake to me, 

He that ruleth over men must be just, 

ruling in the fear of God.

Then, SPIRIT led me to David's people, and of his anointing.

1 Chronicles 11:1-3

King James Version

11 Then all Israel gathered themselves to David 

unto Hebron, saying, 

Behold, we are thy bone and thy flesh.

2 And moreover in time past, 

even when Saul was king, 

thou wast he that leddest out 

and broughtest in Israel: 

and the Lord thy God said unto thee, 

Thou shalt feed my people Israel, 

and thou shalt be ruler over my people Israel.

3 Therefore came all the elders of Israel 

to the king to Hebron; 

and David made a covenant with them 

in Hebron before the Lord; 

and they anointed David king over Israel, 

according to the word of the Lord by Samuel.

After which, SPIRIT, through Scripture, told me of Israel's enemies.

1 Chronicles 11:4-5

King James Version

4 And David and all Israel went to Jerusalem, 

which is Jebus*; where the Jebusites were, 

the inhabitants of the land.

5 And the inhabitants of Jebus said to David, 

Thou shalt not come hither. 

Nevertheless David took the castle of Zion, 

which is the city of David.

This is how David responded:

1 Chronicles 11:6

King James Version

6 And David said, 

Whosoever smiteth the Jebusites first 

shall be chief and captain. 

So Joab the son of Zeruiah went first up, 

and was chief.

Thus, the founding of the city of David**.

1 Chronicles 11:7-8

King James Version

7 And David dwelt in the castle; 

therefore they called it the city of David.

8 And he built the city round about, 

even from Millo round about: 

and Joab repaired the rest of the city.

All this was possible through GOD.

1 Chronicles 11:9

King James Version

9 So David waxed greater and greater: 

for the Lord of hosts was with him.

Then SPIRIT told me of David's men:

1 Chronicles 11:10

King James Version

10 These also are the chief of the mighty men 

whom David had, 

who strengthened themselves with him 

in his kingdom, and with all Israel, 

to make him king, 

according to the word of the Lord 

concerning Israel.

These became his trusted lieutenants:

1 Chronicles 11:11

King James Version

11 And this is the number of the mighty men 

whom David had;

Jashobeam, an Hachmonite, 

the chief of the captains: 

he lifted up his spear against three hundred 

slain by him at one time.

2 Samuel 23:8

King James Version

8 These be the names of the mighty men 

whom David had: 

The Tachmonite that sat in the seat, 

chief among the captains; 

the same was Adino the Eznite: 

he lift up his spear against eight hundred, 

whom he slew at one time.

2 Samuel 23:9-10

King James Version

9 And after him was Eleazar 

the son of Dodo the Ahohite, 

one of the three mighty men with David, 

when they defied the Philistines 

that were there gathered together to battle, 

and the men of Israel were gone away:

10 He arose, and smote the Philistines 

until his hand was weary, 

and his hand clave unto the sword: 

and the Lord wrought a great victory that day; 

and the people returned after him only to spoil.

2 Samuel 23:11-13

King James Version

11 And after him was Shammah 

the son of Agee the Hararite. 

And the Philistines were gathered together 

into a troop, 

where was a piece of ground full of lentiles: 

and the people fled from the Philistines.

12 But he stood in the midst of the ground, 

and defended it, and slew the Philistines: 

and the Lord wrought a great victory.

13 And three of the thirty chief went down, 

and came to David in the harvest time 

unto the cave of Adullam: 

and the troop of the Philistines 

pitched in the valley of Rephaim.

2 Samuel 23:14-17

King James Version

14 And David was then in an hold, 

and the garrison of the Philistines 

was then in Bethlehem.

15 And David longed, and said, 

Oh that one would give me drink 

of the water of the well of Bethlehem, 

which is by the gate!

16 And the three mighty men brake through 

the host of the Philistines, 

and drew water out of the well of Bethlehem, 

that was by the gate, and took it, 

and brought it to David: 

nevertheless he would not drink thereof, 

but poured it out unto the Lord.

17 And he said, 

Be it far from me, O Lord, that I should do this: 

is not this the blood of the men that went 

in jeopardy of their lives? 

therefore he would not drink it. 

These things did these three mighty men.

2 Samuel 23:18-19

King James Version

18 And Abishai, the brother of Joab, 

the son of Zeruiah, was chief among three. 

And he lifted up his spear against three hundred, 

and slew them, and had the name among three.

19 Was he not most honourable of three? 

therefore he was their captain: 

howbeit he attained not unto the first three.

2 Samuel 23:20-23

King James Version

20 And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, 

the son of a valiant man, of Kabzeel, 

who had done many acts, 

he slew two lionlike men of Moab: 

he went down also and slew a lion 

in the midst of a pit in time of snow:

21 And he slew an Egyptian, a goodly man: 

and the Egyptian had a spear in his hand; 

but he went down to him with a staff, 

and plucked the spear out of the Egyptian's hand, 

and slew him with his own spear.

22 These things did Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, 

and had the name among three mighty men.

23 He was more honourable than the thirty, 

but he attained not to the first three. 

And David set him over his guard.

2 Samuel 23:24-39

King James Version

24 Asahel the brother of Joab was one of the thirty; 

Elhanan the son of Dodo of Bethlehem,

25 Shammah the Harodite, 

Elika the Harodite,

26 Helez the Paltite, 

Ira the son of Ikkesh the Tekoite,

27 Abiezer the Anethothite, 

Mebunnai the Hushathite,

28 Zalmon the Ahohite, 

Maharai the Netophathite,

29 Heleb the son of Baanah, a Netophathite, 

Ittai the son of Ribai out of Gibeah 

of the children of Benjamin,

30 Benaiah the Pirathonite, 

Hiddai of the brooks of Gaash,

31 Abialbon the Arbathite, 

Azmaveth the Barhumite,

32 Eliahba the Shaalbonite, 

of the sons of Jashen, Jonathan,

33 Shammah the Hararite, 

Ahiam the son of Sharar the Hararite,

34 Eliphelet the son of Ahasbai, 

the son of the Maachathite, 

Eliam the son of Ahithophel the Gilonite,

35 Hezrai the Carmelite, 

Paarai the Arbite,

36 Igal the son of Nathan of Zobah, 

Bani the Gadite,

37 Zelek the Ammonite, 

Nahari the Beerothite, 

armourbearer to Joab the son of Zeruiah,

38 Ira an Ithrite, 

Gareb an Ithrite,

39 Uriah the Hittite: 

thirty and seven in all.

Such was valor in those days.

Wherein Israel sought GOD for victory.

In the New Testament, here's the Source of our victory:

1 Corinthians 15:57

King James Version

57 But thanks be to God, 

which giveth us the victory 

through our Lord Jesus Christ.

If we are not victorious today, it is only because we don't seek JESUS.

It's really as simple as that.

John 15:5

King James Version

5 I am the vine, ye are the branches: 

He that abideth in me, and I in him, 

the same bringeth forth much fruit: 

for without me ye can do nothing.

Let GOD govern, through His Son, JESUS.

And be taught by the HOLY SPIRIT -- as born again -- that you may be wise.

Lastly, GIVE all GLORY to GOD.

That's how we can have good governments, able governments, just governments, and godly governments.

Something the world needs badly right now.

The GENERALS are HAPPY again

1 Corinthians 16:13

King James Version

13 Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, 

quit you like men, be strong.

American generals are happy again.

Never mind that they're retired.

These are the generals who've seen much.

Have known much.

And have served various administrations.

They've been waiting for this moment.

For a real president to set foot in the White House.

And to take charge, leading America back to strength.

Through Trump, they finally have a decisive president at the helm.

They've got a president they can respect.

America will be safe, and respected again.

We can never undermine the experience of these men.

These short videos show these proud generals.

We honor them, for speaking much truth.

The very truth we've also been waiting to hear:

Trump is 'picking up where he left off,' retired U.S. general says

'NON-NEGOTIABLE': Retired U.S. General warns Israel won't allow Hamas in Gaza

The perfect interview can be seen from the FIRST video above.

It shows Retired U.S. Air Force Brigadier General Rob Spalding speaking.

He has served THREE administrations.

The Obama, Biden, and Trump administrations.

He's got a basis for comparison.

As such, he's seen the different leadership styles.

He's seen the National Security Council "agonize" over decisions.

Thus, as he said, the terrorists end up "getting away".

Referring to Trump and the strike on ISIS in Somalia yesterday, he says, 

"It's good to see him actually make 

a quick decision to go after the threat."

Even Israel PM, Benjamin Netanyahu, cannot hide the smile, even excitement from his face, as he prepared to fly to Washington yesterday:

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu Before taking off for an official visit in Washington

He is the FIRST foreign leader invited by president Trump to the White House.

That, for him, is "telling".

After all, Islamic terrorists have targeted both nations.

They must stand together.

GOD wills it.

I knew that, the moment GOD gave me a verse indicating Trump's "win" before the 2024 elections.

Of course, he won.

And I knew he was destined to help Israel.

Some things you just know when SPIRIT teaches you.

All because I'm born again.

I, too, am a moment-by-moment witness to wherever the HOLY SPIRIT leads me to regarding Israel, America, and the world.

GOD tasked me to care for both countries.

And to keep a caring eye for all other suffering countries.

Israel is the apple of GOD's eye.

And America her ally.

Is it any wonder they're both hated by Satan?

But GOD sent protection for Israel, and America.

The men are back in the White House.

The women are supporting their men.

The families are proud again.

The children have a future.

The world has an example to learn from.

Proving when your heart is in the right place -- looking to GOD, and loving your people -- miracles can happen.

Israel and America are not war freaks.

They are challenged to war.

They are being infiltrated, and destroyed.

Worse yet, from within.

They must defend their nations.

GOD gives them the power to do so.

2 Corinthians 12:8-10

King James Version

8 For this thing I besought the Lord thrice, 

that it might depart from me.

9 And he said unto me, 

My grace is sufficient for thee: 

for my strength is made perfect in weakness. 

Most gladly therefore 

will I rather glory in my infirmities, 

that the power of Christ may rest upon me.

10 Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, 

in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions,

in distresses for Christ's sake: 

for when I am weak, then am I strong.

CHRIST's enemy is fighting a lost cause.

Because his cause is hatred, confusion, and destruction.

GOD's cause is love, clarity, and salvation.

There's the difference in defeat, versus victory.

We did say, Satan has a "SERIOUS learning disability".

He doesn't know when to quit.

Well, GOD's sending the "cavalry" now.

A cavalry of strong, focused, GOD-fearing men.

How can anyone ever think of defeating such?

That's why the generals are smiling again.

The SIMPLEST government

Proverbs 9:10

King James Version

10 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom: 

and the knowledge of the holy is understanding.

All I know, I know through SPIRIT.

Today, He "feeds" me an idea.

A revolutionary idea.

A ticklish idea, but a brilliant idea.

He knows it will percolate in my brain.

And it shall brew right.

Sure did.

Before you know it, we've created a "NEW" government in our heart.

The SIMPLEST. and most REVOLUTIONARY, government.

A government that governs ALL nations.

Where peace, love, joy, and harmony will thrive.

You will not need a U.N.

Consider this:

GOD is President.

JESUS is Vice-President.

The HOLY SPIRIT is House Speaker.

Now, time to back it up with Scripture.

What makes GOD "president"?

Romans 13:1 

King James Version

13 Let every soul be subject 

unto the higher powers. 

For there is no power but of God: 

the powers that be are ordained of God.

What makes JESUS "vice-president"?

Colossians 2:10

King James Version

10 And ye are complete in him, 

which is the head 

of all principality and power:

What makes the HOLY SPIRIT "house speaker"?

Mark 13:11

King James Version

11 But when they shall lead you, and deliver you up, 

take no thought beforehand what ye shall speak, 

neither do ye premeditate: 

but whatsoever shall be given you in that hour, that speak ye: 

for it is not ye that speak, but the Holy Ghost.

Now, let's take it a step further.

The CONSTITUTION.

As a kid, I was taught the Constitution is the "law of the land".

I thank my social studies teacher for giving the best, and simplest definition.

What shall it be then, if GOD governs?

The Bible, of course.

2 Timothy 3:16-17

King James Version

16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, 

and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, 

for instruction in righteousness:

17 That the man of God may be perfect, 

thoroughly furnished unto all good works.

But what if there are many religions?

Precisely the cause of never-ending chaos.

Satan really knew what he was doing when he messed up our brains.

And put hatred in our hearts.

If you really want peace, it's doable.

You just need to believe in ONE GOD.

With citizens being born again.

Being new creatures in CHRIST.

2 Corinthians 5:17

King James Version

17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: 

old things are passed away; behold, 

all things are become new.

Can you now imagine a world of peace?

Of course, you can.

Of course, you want to.

Except Satan doesn't want you to.

Nevertheless, GOD's WILL be done.

It's an idea whose time has come today.

We need to have this simplest government.

If we are to become part of the Rapture.

You will not want to be left behind.

And endure a godless government.

It will be hell.
