Isaiah 29 calls Jerusalem Ariel. The Masonic zealots whose leader is Mileikowski assume it means Lion. Soon they will find out it means hearth.or fire place.
God says the will be to Me as Ariel. A city on fire!
1 ¶ “Woe to Ariel, to Ariel, the city where David dwelt!
Add year to year;
Let feasts come around.
2 Yet I will distress Ariel;
There shall be heaviness and sorrow,
And it shall be to Me as Ariel.
3 I will encamp against you all around,
I will lay siege against you with a mound,
And I will raise siege works against you.
4 You shall be brought down,
You shall speak out of the ground;
Your speech shall be low, out of the dust;
Your voice shall be like a medium’s, out of the ground;
And your speech shall whisper out of the dust.
“Hence, God says in Isaiah 29:3, 4, “I will raise up battle towers against you. Then you will be brought low.” Isaiah 29:6 threatens Ariel with “the flame of a consuming fire.”
5 “Moreover the multitude of your foes
Shall be like fine dust,
And the multitude of the terrible ones
Like chaff that passes away;
Yes, it shall be in an instant, suddenly.
6 You will be punished by the Lord of hosts
With thunder and earthquake and great noise,
With storm and tempest
And the flame of devouring fire.
7 The multitude of all the nations who fight against Ariel,
Even all who fight against her and her fortress,
And distress her,
Shall be as a dream of a night vision.
8 It shall even be as when a hungry man dreams,
And look—he eats;
But he awakes, and his soul is still empty;
Or as when a thirsty man dreams,
And look—he drinks;
But he awakes, and indeed he is faint,
And his soul still craves:
So the multitude of all the nations shall be,
Who fight against Mount Zion.”
You might reasonably say that all the nations that fight against Jerusalem shall vanish away….These nations are what God uses to Distress Ariel and make it a fireplace. We have already had the precursor with bush fires in and around Jerusalem this year.
The terms used in Verse 6 are descriptive of a nuclear blast!
thunder and earthquake and great noise,
With storm and tempest
And the flame of devouring fire.
If that happens to Ariel then as with verse 7 and 8 in Isia 29–though they tried to get Jerusalem for themselves God will see to it that NO ONE GETS IT!!
The prophets in the Church are spoken of in Isa 29:10
For the Lord has poured out on you
The spirit of deep sleep,
And has closed your eyes, namely, the prophets;
And He has covered your heads, namely, the seers.
They do not see what is going to happen – because they have made an idol of Jerusalem.
The Sign of the ceramic pot
10 “Then you shall break the flask in the sight of the men who go with you, 11 and say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord of hosts: “Even so I will break this people and this city, as one breaks a potter’s vessel, which cannot be made whole again;and they shall bury them in Tophet till there is no place to bury.
12 Thus I will do to this place,” says the Lord, “and to its inhabitants, and make this city like Tophet. 13 And the houses of Jerusalem and the houses of the kings of Judah shall be defiled like the place of Tophet, because of all the houses on whose roofs they have burned incense to all the host of heaven, and poured out drink offerings to other gods.” ’ ”
14 Then Jeremiah came from Tophet, where the Lord had sent him to prophesy; and he stood in the court of the Lord’s house and said to all the people, 15 “Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: ‘Behold, I will bring on this city and on all her towns all the doom that I have pronounced against it, because they have stiffened their necks that they might not hear My words.’ ”
I remember posting about a story that happened where a young boy broke a pot….
The Museum’s curator said that it shall be made whole again.
In the case of Jerusalem in Jeremiah’s prophecy – “which cannot be made whole again”.
We know that Jerusalem was destroyed by Nebuchadnezzer and made whole again…and by Titus in AD 70 and rebuilt again….but the days are very near when it shall be irrevocably be smashed and so that it cannot be made whole again.
