Friday Prophecy Post .......Oil in Israel

Here is an interesting prophecy that is often overlooked amongst the earthquakes, pestilences and famines . My husband calls these " Valley" prophecy's , they are not spoken of much .

This prophecy is recorded in God’s Word , It is Jacob's Prophecy to each of his sons ( the tribes of Isreal ) and Moses Prophecy of Blessings
　
Ge:49:1: And Jacob called unto his sons, and said, Gather yourselves together, that I may tell you that which shall befall you in the last days.
Ge:49:20: Out of Asher his bread shall be fat, and he shall yield royal dainties. 　
　
De:33:1: And this is the blessing, wherewith Moses the man of God blessed the children of Israel before his death.
De:33:24: And of Asher he said, Let Asher be blessed with children; let him be acceptable to his brethren, and let him dip his foot in oil.
　
　
Asher is a tribe of the Children of Israel.
This prophecy indicates Oil will be found in Asher.
Asher is in Northern Israel right below Lebanon.
The geographical shape of Asher on a map looks just like leg with a foot extended .

Golda Meir former prime minister of Israel once joked “ Moses brought us to the only place in the Middle -East with no oil “ it has been a long-standing joke among those in the region.
But many believe , that this prophecy with the tribe of Israel indicates that there will be oil found in the LAST DAYS.

Interestingly there is a company drilling for oil in that region right now.
Zion Oil and Gas was founded by a brother in the Lord, that took this prophecy seriously and literally . They are now trading public ally in the NYSE.

When oil is discovered in the Israel , that would change the world dramatically over-night. We are purchasing our oil from countries that hate us. Israel prior to the current administration has always had a strong support from the United States.

Could this also be the reason that Russia comes down to take a spoil as discussed in Ezekiel Chapter 38 .

In the secret of His tabernacle shall He hide me.....

This Psalm is so special to me.....

A few years ago the Lord gave me a beautiful prophetic dream/vision of myself worshipping the Lord , barefoot dancing in a beautiful white dress, that was unique in that it was almost a part of me an moved in almost a living way with each movement of my dance.

I was barefoot, young, healthy and beautiful, in a mountain-top huge pavillion....praising and worshipping God with the most incredible dancing in total joy, to the most holy and stirring music I have ever heard .......

There were several other portions of the dream that would speak to my personal walk.... About a year after this dream....I word was spoken over me at church....."Ella,..... God wants to make you a pillar in His Church, but He does not share His Glory......"

I remind myself daily, the only glory I have is the glory of the Holy Spirit resident in me. Apart from God.....there is no good thing that dwells in me.

God is Faithful, He has never failed me , never not ever. He is Faithful and True!

He calls me His beloved. He loves me with a love I cannot comprehend.

I am thankful this day that He keeps me.

Love in Christ, Ella

Friday Prophecy Post ......The Latter Rain

Jas:5:7: Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the Lord.

Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth,

and hath long patience for it, until he receive the early and latter rain.

It is the rain that produces the harvest of the precious fruit of the earth,

which is the souls that will come into the Kingdom.

Lu:1:42: And she spake out with a loud voice, and said,

Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb.

Ro:8:23: And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit,

even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit,

the redemption of our body.

1Co:15:20: But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become

the firstfruits of them that slept.

1Co:15:23: But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits;

afterward they that are Christ's at his coming.

There is a Latter Rain coming, it’s purpose is to produce the last days harvest.

Those that will come to faith in Jesus during these last days.

Elijah waited 3 and ½ years for the rain. He knew it was coming.

He knew , the Lord had spoken the Word. Now he had to wait for it to come to pass.

Jas:5:17: Elias was a man subject to like passions as we are, and he prayed earnestly that it might not rain: and it rained not on the earth by the space of three years and six months.
　

After the 3 ½ year period, he began to pray for the Rain. In the “TIME” of the “RAIN” Elijah began to ask for the “RAIN”

De:11:14: That I will give you the rain of your land in his due season, the first rain and the latter rain, that thou mayest gather in thy corn,and thy wine, and thine oil.

I am persuaded that we are in the “TIME” of the “RAIN”… We need to begin to “ASK/PRAY” for the Latter Rain. IT IS TIME . It is needed for the Rain produces the Harvest.

We are in the “Season” of the harvest, we need to begin to ask for the rain. The Lord is so beautiful, tender and full of mercy.

2Pe:3:9: The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

What incredible days we are living in …… God is Incredible and it excites me and encourages me

in my Spirit the exceeding Greatness of our Lord! He is coming ! Pray for the Latter Rain!

Family Fun ............

Recently Hubby and I purchased one of these . The kids are so excited .

It has a Bunkhouse which is what really has them thrilled. So each of them will have their own little bunk.

It is 30 feet long I think , and sleeps 8 .

Perfect for us. It will be parked in Ct, at a family campground , where several of my family camp during the season.

So this is the beginning of our family adventure in getting our lovely travel trailer to the campground and then encasing it in

Roofing and Additions and Decks.

The big kids are pretty excited too!

Friday Prophecy Post ...... And he forces all......

I am fully convinced that we are well on our way to a totally cashless economy.
Which will ultimately usher in the dynamics for the Global Mark of the Beast
spoken of in Revelation Chapter 13.


The wheels have been set in motion a long time ago.
God’s Word gives us many clues to the dynamics of the economic culture of the future…..We are seeing these things happening before our very eyes.

The stock market dropped 1000 points in 30 minutes, only to recover and quickly dismiss it as a bad trade.
Rioting in the streets of Athens, Greece over their economy.
Thousands of barrels of oil being released in the Gulf…… Soaring prices expected by the end of the summer….

We are in the days of the Return of the Lord Jesus Christ.

Eze:7:19: They shall cast their silver in the streets, and their gold shall be removed: their silver and their gold shall not be able to deliver them in the day of the wrath of the LORD: they shall not satisfy their souls, neither fill their bowels: because it is the stumblingblock of their iniquity.
　
Zep:1:18: Neither their silver nor their gold shall be able to deliver them in the day of the LORD's wrath; but the whole land shall be devoured by the fire of his jealousy: for he shall make even a speedy riddance of all them that dwell in the land.
　
Jas:5:1: Go to now, ye rich men, weep and howl for your miseries that shall come upon you.
Jas:5:2: Your riches are corrupted, and your garments are motheaten.
Jas:5:3: Your gold and silver is cankered; and the rust of them shall be a witness against you, and shall eat your flesh as it were fire. Ye have heaped treasure together for the last days.
Jas:5:4: Behold, the hire of the labourers who have reaped down your fields, which is of you kept back by fraud, crieth: and the cries of them which have reaped are entered into the ears of the Lord of sabaoth.
Jas:5:5: Ye have lived in pleasure on the earth, and been wanton; ye have nourished your hearts, as in a day of slaughter.
Jas:5:6: Ye have condemned and killed the just; and he doth not resist you.

Re:6:6: And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine.

Re:13:16: And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:
Re:13:17: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.

In the time ahead , no one will be able to buy or sell with out the MARK. Not a credit card, not a debit card, not a check , not a swipe of an RFID reader, Neither Gold or Silver.

It is a MARK. Please note , the mark is “IN” the right hand or “IN” the forehead as to imply under the skin . Not “ON” as in a tattoo. But Rather “IN” as in “inserted” .

I do not know what this “MARK” will be , God’s Word tells is in the scripture :
Re:13:8: And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.
If your Name is Written in the Book of Life Praise God you will not take the “MARK “.

Remember Cash , I am one of the very few who actually still uses it . When I shop I use cash. Period.
At the grocery store , there is almost an audible sigh when I pull out cash and the clerk has to actually count it and make change.
In every consumer situation I am in , I only use cash and it is truly becoming a rarity.
I do not write checks, use debit or credit cards, swipe something, nor scan something for my purchases or services.

And when I use cash now , it is almost a look of suspicion “Why is she using cash????”

Several years ago when I worked in corporate America, the wheels were in motion to create an economy free of paper money and coins. I worked for one of the most respected Insurance Companies in the world. I was part of a team of individuals way back in the 80’s working on ETF . Electronic Transfers of Funds. How could we stop having to take money for premiums, payments, vendors , accounts etc.

The first steps of that deliberate evolution have long been in place for years and effect millions of consumers every day.

People driving through tollbooths without stopping, their in-car transponders sending information to an RFID (radio frequency identification) reader and triggering a process by which tolls are transferred from a credit card or bank account to the highway authority.

Many, many more use Speed Pass devices to purchase gasoline, by waving a key fob in front of a reader built into a gas pump.

Human familiarity and reluctance to change to the traditional idea of money may be the only obstacle that continues to prevent all payments from being made with the wave of a key fob or one of the newest things I have learned a ray of infrared light from a cell phone.

There is a whole field of determined venture investors backing a new breed of companies Designed to provide the newest payment alternatives.
Here are just a couple out of thousands

Freedom Pay :
Which provides cashless payment solutions to food services businesses. FreedomPay uses Web-based accounts under the user's direct control to enable payment at food service establishments, often those inside government agencies or corporations. The system works because merchants can continue to take cash and still get benefits of using the non- contact approach, Then, if the market warrants it, they can easily move to 100 percent cashless.
Such controlled environments may make good test beds for larger-scale contactless payment options.
　
ViVOtech :
focuses on providing RFID solutions that work with that existing infrastructure. In addition, no-contact payment solutions are being built on widely accepted standards supported by the major credit card companies as well as those on the technology side.
　
In the past 18 months, the company has sold some 220,000 RFID readers for point-of-sale deployment to 46,000 merchant sites.
In the same time frame, card companies have issued 20 million contactless enabled cards, which can be used to make small payments without a signature.
Where do they have these readers :
Jack in the Box restaurants -- both at registers and drive-through's
7-Eleven convenience stores,
McDonald's restaurants
Regal movie theaters
A sister in Christ that I highly respect who is one of the world’s foremost experts in RFID , our privacy and security is Dr Katherine Albrecht.
I have read much of her material as well as listened to many of her teachings. Below are links to a couple of her websites.

This is one of many prophecies that is yet to be fulfilled. But the precursors to it are rapidly approaching. How this plays into a “ National ID Card, Possible Chip , Global Tracking ……It is all relevant . Keep your Eyes and Ears open as we enter into these final days.
Look up “Our Redemption draws Nigh”
