Scripture reference: 

Read Daniel ch 10:1-21

(The Messenger of the Lord)

The Archangel Michael has been assigned to defend Israel (Daniel 12:1). But there is a problem…Israel’s continual and willful acts of disobedience and iniquity, have created a barrier between them and The Lord (Isaiah 59:1-2), which has left them as prey for satan, the prince of this world.

So, do Michael and his legion of angels actually have any legal right to defend Israel?…

By God’s own Law, Israel have put themselves under a curse - a curse that gives Persia, Greece and any kingdom that comes afterwards, the right to wipe them off the face of the Earth (Psalm 83:1-4)

But…there is One who stands beside Michael (ch.11:1)- “One who looks like a man”…to strengthen him against what must have been a constant barrage of accusations…The One who will provide the Sacrifice to end all sacrifices … whose blood, when poured out onto the earth, will break all curses and silence every accusation. (Revelation 12:7-9)

See Daniel 10:4-10…

Is this One Jesus? (Read Revelation 1:10-19) No one else has an appearance like this: Burnished bronze is a color that no one else can bare except Jesus, as a reminder to us that although we have sinned…He has overcome our sin. 

***The Bronze Alter of the tabernacle (Numbers16:37-40) and the bronze snake on a pole (Numbers21:6-9) both are foreshadowing the Cross of Christ***

So in this chapter, the pre-incarnate Christ stands in the gap, as a restrainer between Israel and the judgement which they deserved…And there is one very specific reason why…

…why God will not allow either the Prince of Persia or Greece to completely destroy Israel…

Because from out of Israel will come Messiah- the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin, not just of Israel, but the entire world. It was for this reason Israel was born (Isaiah 11) and why it still exists today (Daniel 9:24)

Looking at Daniel 10:12-13…

So what kind of battle is this? 

A legal one: with the Prince of Persia as the prosecutor. But a pre-incarnate Jesus stands as a guarantee that a Sacrifice will be made for Israel…and Blood that speaks “Mercy” will be shed…and not only for them, but the whole world.

Zechariah 3:1 Then he showed me Joshua the high priest standing before the angel of the Lord, and Satan standing at his right hand to accuse him. 2 And the Lord said to Satan, “The Lord rebuke you, O Satan! The Lord who has chosen Jerusalem rebuke you! Is not this a brand plucked from the fire?”

3 Now Joshua was standing before the angel, clothed with filthy garments. 4 And the angel said to those who were standing before him, “Remove the filthy garments from him.” And to him he said, “Behold, I have taken your iniquity away from you, and I will clothe you with pure vestments.” 5 And I said, “Let them put a clean turban on his head.” So they put a clean turban on his head and clothed him with garments. And the angel of the Lord was standing by.

Read Zechariah 3:1-10

 The Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it. John1:5

Do not be afraid My People…for hidden in Me, you can never be fully overcome. In Me you are the Light of this dark world.  And even when the darkness reaches its fullest measure, as a solar eclipse reaches its totality, even then there will still be Light… in fact the deeper the darkness, the brighter and more dangerous the Light will become. 

For as the Heavens declare My Glory, so learn this lesson from My Creation:

Just as the light of the sun can never be fully concealed...the Light from The Son will never be understood or overcome by the darkness…

Satan wants death

The LORD wants Life

This is why Yeshua: God who is the Son

(John20:28)

shed His Blood 

So that WHOEVER believes on Him

should not perish, but have eternal LIFE…

His Life (Lev17:11)

Romans 6:23

 

 Genesis 22:7

“We have the fire and the wood,” the boy said, “but where is the sheep for the burnt offering?”

8 “God will provide a sheep for the burnt offering, my son,” Abraham answered. And they both walked on together.

 The Book of Revelation never really made sense to me until I had read through Daniel and all the books of the prophets;

But the books of the prophets never really made sense to me until I read through all the books of the Law and the chronicles of Israel…beginning with Genesis. 

(It is futile to attempt to build a solid structure without first preparing deep and solid foundations…how can we attempt to understand the end of the book, if we have not first read in order, the beginning and the middle?)

A long time back, God told me to simply read the entire Bible from cover to cover, in chronological order, with no agenda in mind but to know Him. (chronological because it would be easier to connect the dots - and the Bible is a book of connection, where one scripture interprets another scripture, where everything in its context makes sense, and where there are no contradictions)

…Two things the Lord told me: “Keep going!” And “Hold on (because it’s going to be the ride of your life)!” So beginning in Genesis, I grasped, as if it were a climbing rope, the scarlet thread of Redemption thrown out in ch3:15 and hand-over-hand began the journey. 

Since I began…

~I have been healed and delivered of things I thought to be immovable. 

~I have a transformed and much more mature perception of God: Father, Son & Holy Spirit, which in itself has transformed me…I know Him.

Things I have heard so much, but now, through reading the entire Bible, I have seen with my own eyes….

~That Israel was (and still is) is the apple of God’s eye, (not because they deserved it, but because out of Israel would come the fulfillment of Genesis 3:15)…

~That Israel was (and still is) the center of satan’s attention…for this exact same reason.✝️

~That through Israel, Salvation would come to ALL the nations of the earth…because Salvation comes from the Jews” (John4:22)

~That other nations - whether good or bad - would  come and go, rise and fall ,but at the end one nation would be left standing, at the center of the whole Earth - Israel…

~That the Lord has an appointed time for the Unveiling of Yeshua the Messiah for Israel…it is out job to pray that they would be ready to receive Him when He comes.

~That the Lord has ALWAYS had only one plan…and is always one step ahead of satan, who is always pursuing…but never catching.

~That scripture in its context, truly does interpret scripture…I had not even finished reading the Old Testament and already half the Book of Revelation had been interpreted for me.

~That it is this “Revelation of Jesus Christ”…the closing chapter  of the Book…that is the foundation of every other chapter, since the very beginning.

~That the Word of God is alive, active and sharper than a double edged sword. Heaven and earth will pass away, but the Word (John1:1) will never pass away (Matthew 24:35)

 “The danger and deception across the nations is great: but a truly greater danger and deception to the nations and my Church is this: Genesis 11:3-4; forced and manufactured “revival” (in My Name, but for man’s glory). For this reason I Am allowing the earth to be shaken; and I also  will not remove the flame from you My beloved Body...so that what I Am about to do in My Church, I alone WILL do, with My own Hand - and far beyond the reach of any human one” (Isaiah 55:6-9). 

I must walk before You surrendered and obedient; For will you be truly lifted up in your church, as long as there is any other high thing in it? How will this great awakening not go the same way as all the others have gone before, unless we Your Church learn to keep our hands off it?...

Therefore He will not remove the flame from under us...He will continue to put us through the Olive press...to humble us...to break us...until we realize that we are One Body...that we have only ONE Head - under whom everything must bow.

“The sound of Christ will beat down the politicians of Baal...And My People shall be baptized...with a Fire...with a Fire...WITH A FIRE’, says the Lord” (Kim Clement, Mt Carmel 2008)

 Joel 2:32

Every other Name of God is wrapped up - and summed up - in this One Name:    

Jesus...Yeshua:  “The Lord our Salvation”

(Matthew 1:21)
