Elisha Vision – Commentary

Are your bridges getting blown up or washed away? If you haven’t noticed, everything is shaking, everything is changing. Acceleration! It is happening so fast, it is head-spinning. Every year or two a game-changer type event would take place. Now it is every week, or every day it seems. Here is just one week: Hurricane Helene kills over 200 (and rising) and destroys scores of bridges (along with entire villages). Netanyahu speaks to the UN and Israel eliminates the 32 year leader of Hezbollah, the world’s most deadly terrorist group. Iran fires 200 ballistic missiles at Israel as the IDF enters Lebanon and Israel prepares to attack Iran. All of this as we observe the Feast of Trumpets and Rosh Hashanah on the Biblical calendar. The bridges to past norms are gone. Only God’s word is unchangeable. Acceleration, pedal to the metal time! We are through the nine month gestation and into the last of the birth pangs. The birth of a new Kingdom is imminent.

“For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and there will be famines and earthquakes in various places. All these are but the beginning of the birth pains.  “Matthew 24:7-8 ESV

“See that you do not refuse Him who speaks. For if they did not escape who refused Him who spoke on earth, much more shall we not escape if we turn away from Him who speaks from heaven, whose voice then shook the earth; but now He has promised, saying, “Yet once more I shake not only the earth, but also heaven.” Now this, “Yet once more,” indicates the removal of those things that are being shaken, as of things that are made, that the things which cannot be shaken may remain. Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom which cannot be shaken, let us have grace, by which we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear. For our God is a consuming fire.”  Hebrews 12:25-29

Yet, with this all happening we must remain steadfast in faith. We still have a job to do. We are not sitting on a roof with white robes waiting. This is a time for activation. Those who know Yehovah God will function in dysfunctional times and situations. Preach the Gospel. Help your neighbor. Stand for righteousness in the public square. Intercede for Israel’s victory in Yehovah’s purposes. For many it is overwhelming, but we are not overcome. We must hold fast our faith.

“But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellence of the power may be of God and not of us. We are hard-pressed on every side, yet not crushed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed…”  2 Corinthians 4:7-8

“And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to the death. Therefore rejoice, O heavens, and you who dwell in them! Woe to the inhabitants of the earth and the sea! For the devil has come down to you, having great wrath, because he knows that he has a short time.”  Revelation 12:11-12

Are you dwelling in the heavens or the earth? We can live in spiritual overcoming victory even in the midst of earthly terror and turmoil. This last verse is not about future but about overcoming in the present, in spite of everything shaking. The Holy Spirit is with us if we live or die. He is our comforter. Verse eleven starts with “they overcame him,” not “they were overcome.” We can overcome. We will overcome the devil’s purpose. We have read the end of the Book, we win!

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem, pray for those still fighting in the Carolina mountains, and pray for victory over all of God’s enemies.
