Listen, True Israel! – [Proclamation #3]

This is YHWH’s statement to the nation of Israel, true Israel, the apple of His eye—that is still scattered around the world and paying the penalty for their rebellion against Him.

Thus says YHWH:

‘Israel is My Fruit. She is supposed to be My template to the world—and that she will be. I will heal her, transform her and she will be reconciled to Me. The words I spoke to her are truth and they shall come to pass in the next few years under the sun. The world will watch and they will see the splendour of My Israel.

Nations will bow before you; you will heal the sick, feed the hungry, and give shelter to the homeless. You will be My people and I Myself will rule over you as your Father and your King. I love you, Israel; I always have and I have not forgotten you, and I will not forsake you. The world will testify of My greatness through you. Those days are close, and not as far as you think.

Repent My people, and return to Me!

I will not despise a broken spirit and a sincere heart. Turn away from your evil ways and be reconciled to Me. Hold onto Me Israel, and make Me your dwelling place. Give up the idols and make Me your God, and I will surely fulfil every single word I have ever uttered in your regard.

I, YHWH Elohim, The Almighty, have spoken and so it will be.’

YHWH did not give me specific Bible verses for this proclamation, but there is such a large pool of Scriptures that justify the words proclaimed by the Almighty here that when He told me I could add any one of them, I didn’t know what to choose. After giving it some thought, I decided to add a passage that succinctly expounds on YHWH’s promises of restoration for Israel: Isaiah 35.

‘The wilderness and the dry land shall be glad; the desert shall rejoice and blossom; like the crocus it shall blossom abundantly and rejoice with joy and shouting. The glory of Lebanon shall be given to it, the majesty of Carmel and Sharon. They shall see the glory of YHWH, the majesty of our Elohim.

Strengthen the weak hands and make firm the feeble knees. Say to those who are of a fearful heart, “Be strong, do not fear! Here is your Elohim. He will come with vengeance, with terrible recompense. He will come and save you.”

Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, and the ears of the deaf shall be opened; then the lame shall leap like a deer, and the tongue of the speechless sing for joy. For waters shall break forth in the wilderness and streams in the desert; the burning sand shall become a pool and the thirsty ground springs of water; the haunt of jackals shall become a swamp; the grass shall become reeds and rushes.

A highway shall be there, and it shall be called the Holy Way; the unclean shall not travel on it, but it shall be for Elohim’s people; no traveler, not even fools, shall go astray. No lion shall be there, nor shall any ravenous beast come up on it; they shall not be found there, but the redeemed shall walk there. And the ransomed of YHWH shall return and come to Zion with singing; everlasting joy shall be upon their heads; they shall obtain joy and gladness, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away.’ —Isaiah 35.
