One of my favorite passages in scripture is II Chronicles 29 & 30 with King Hezekiah who at the young age of 25 became the king of Judah. After Kings David and Solomon, King Hezekiah is considered one of the greatest monarchs of Judah because of his restoration of worship and ministering to Adonai. Hezekiah had a great zeal, great desire, a longing for God during a bleak and desolate time period in Judah’s and Israel’s history. The time period before young Hezekiah took the throne is one of the darkest and most estranged from Adonai in both Israel’s and Judah’s history.
The kingdom of Judah had descended into idolatry during the rule of Hezekiah’s father Ahaz who served Ba’al, passing his own children through the fires of Molekh, and sacrificing to various Idols across the land. During Ahaz’s reign Aram invaded Judah and Adonai handed Judah over to Aram then Israel invaded Judah and Israel prevailed over Judah. Then the Edomites inflicted a great defeat against Judah along with the Philistines raiding the boarder cities of Judah. And yet amid all this despair:
II Chronicles 28:22-25. During his time of distress this same King Achaz added to his treachery (Ma’al: a verb meaning to violate ones duty, often a synonym for sin. Denotes a willing act, rejection of Adonai) against ADONAI 23 by sacrificing to the gods of Dammesek, who had attacked him, reasoning, "The gods of the kings of Aram helped them, so I will sacrifice to them, and then they'll help me." But they became the ruin of him and of all Isra'el. 24 Achaz collected the equipment from the house of God, broke to pieces the equipment from the house of God and sealed the doors of the house of ADONAI; then he made himself altars in every corner of Yerushalayim. 25 In every city of Y'hudah he made high places for offering to other gods, thus provoking ADONAI the God of his ancestors.
This so exemplifies the times we live in today! Just when we think it couldn’t possibly get any worse it does! America’s moral corruption, greed, gluttony, avarice, sexual sins, keep mounting higher and higher while Abortion rates soar (murdering our children-fires of Molekh) just like in Ahaz’s day! What’s stunning is how many houses of God have closed their doors across our great land becoming restaurants, bars, distilleries, condo’s, even bed and breakfasts……just like Ahaz sealing closed the doors to the Temple! But then comes King Hezekiah, a man after God who sought to restore covenant relationship with Adonai! Hezekiah vigorously went to work to restore the Temple, the priests, and the worship service to minister to the Lord.
II Chronicles 29:15-17. They gathered their kinsmen, consecrated themselves and, in keeping with the king's order and ADONAI's words, went in to cleanse the house of ADONAI. 16 The cohanim went in to cleanse the inner part of the house of ADONAI; all the unclean things (tum'ah {toom-aw'}: impurities, filthiness, uncleanness, sexual sins, ethical, religious, sexual, and ceremonial impurity) they found in the sanctuary of ADONAI they brought out into the courtyard of the house of ADONAI, where the L'vi'im took and carried them out to Vadi Kidron. 17 They began consecrating on the first day of the first month, and on the eighth day of the month they reached the vestibule of ADONAI. Then they consecrated the house of ADONAI in eight more days; so that on the sixteenth day of the first month, they had finished.
The Lords house had been filled with idols, cult prostitutes, both male and female, as well as idols had been placed throughout the inside of the temple. This had taken place over years, decades of ceremonial impurities and violation of God’s word! Degradation and apostasy isn’t usually instantaneous, it occurs over time. It’s done little by little, holiness and purity is chipped away, bit by bit, almost unnoticeable until it’s too late! Hezekiah stopped the erosion, he ended the apostasy and pursued restoration which came about quickly!
II Chronicles 29:36. Hizkiyahu and all the people rejoiced over what God had prepared for the people, since it had all happened so suddenly (B'ith'om: suddenly, surprisingly, instantly, to open the eyes, in a wink, unexpectedly).
From the time the King interjected himself into history to restore covenant with Adonai and the time it took for the priests to cleanse and reopen the Temple was 16 days, only 16 days! For decades the doors of Gods house were closed, and the people served other gods! But when God moved and poured out His spirit Israel was quickly turned around, the Temple was cleansed with worship and ministering unto Adonai restored in just 16 days!! Today we live in a time of sudden, spontaneous restoration, outpouring, and revival! Day after day, week after week, month after month, year after year life plods on! Societies corruption and immorality seems to be getting worse, the body of Messiah is shrinking, it seems as if we are stranded in the desert, wandering, crying out to God for a time of refreshing, for His spirit to be poured out, then, suddenly, in an instant it happens as recorded in:
Isaiah 48:3. "I announced things that happened at the beginning, long ago; they issued from my mouth, I proclaimed them. Then suddenly (B'ith'om: suddenly, surprisingly, instantly, to open the eyes, in a wink, unexpectedly) I acted, and they occurred.
There is a profound connection here between Gods proclamations and suddenly! What are His proclamations? They are superlative promises He decreed at the beginning of all things that are now coming to pass! That ALL ISRAEL will be saved! The nation of Israel will be fully restored, Messianic Israel will usher in the Messianic reign! Yeshua will return to a redeemed Jerusalem when Israel says Baruch Ha’ba B’shem Adonai! We, the messianic community are the remnant, the sons and daughters oft T’zadock, whose purpose is to teach and lead the greater body of Messiah! We, the Jewish people had not been a nation for over 1,878 years, from the destruction of the second temple in A.D. 70 until May 14th, 1948! The Zionist movement was birthed in the 1890’s and had been preparing, pushing, negotiating, and posturing for the restoration of our Jewish homeland for 100 years, everyone knew something was happening, there was a palpable sense of energy, like electricity in the atmosphere, God was preparing to do something then suddenly, in one day as Isaiah 66:8 states a nation was born, brought forth, birthed in ONE DAY! May 13th, 1948, there was no nation of Israel, then on May 14th, 1948, there was the nation of Israel! In an instant, suddenly, as prophesized through the word that Israel would be restored as a nation, no longer divided into two separate states but one nation as Ezekiel stated:
Ezekiel 37:16-24. "You, human being, take one stick and write on it, 'For Y'hudah and those joined with him [among] the people of Isra'el.' Next, take another stick and write on it, 'For Yosef, the stick of Efrayim, and all the house of Isra'el who are joined with him.' 17 Finally, bring them together into a single stick, so that they become one in your hand. 18 When your people ask you what all this means, 19 tell them that Adonai ELOHIM says this: 'I will take the stick of Yosef, which is in the hand of Efrayim, together with the tribes of Isra'el who are joined with him, and put them together with the stick of Y'hudah and make them a single stick, so that they become one in my hand.' 20 The sticks on which you write are to be in your hand as they watch. 21 Then say to them that Adonai ELOHIM says: 'I will take the people of Isra'el from among the nations where they have gone and gather them from every side and bring them back to their own land. 22 I will make them one nation in the land, on the mountains of Isra'el; and one king will be king for all of them. They will no longer be two nations, and they will never again be divided into two kingdoms. 23 "'They will never again defile themselves with their idols, their detestable things, or any of their transgressions; but I will save them from all the places where they have been living and sinning; and I will cleanse them, so that they will be my people, and I will be their God. 24 My servant David will be king over them, and all of them will have one shepherd; they will live by my rulings and keep and observe my regulations.
A messianic Prophecy about us here today! Yet until 1967 we were without our capitol city. Jerusalem was occupied by Jordan who refused Jewish admittance not only to the Temple mount but anywhere within the city! The great synagogue was destroyed while Yeshiva’s and Jewish homes were ransacked, their contents burned! But during the Six-Day War in June 1967, on June 7, 1967, IDF paratroopers advanced through the Gates of Jerusalem and headed toward the Temple Mount and the Western Wall, bringing Jerusalem’s holiest site under Jewish control for the first time in 2000 years. The commander of the Brigade, Lt. General Mordechai (Motta) Gur, approaches the Old City and announces to his company commanders, “We’re sitting right now on the ridge and we’re seeing the Old City. Shortly we’re going to go in to the Old City of Jerusalem, that all generations have dreamed about. We will be the first to enter the Old City...” and shortly afterwards, “The Temple Mount is in our hands! I repeat, the Temple Mount is in our hands!” General Rabbi Shlomo Goren, chief chaplain of the IDF, sounded the Shofar at the Western Wall to signify its liberation. In one day, suddenly, in the blink of an eye, in an instant Jerusalem is restored just as Yeshua Himself proclaimed would happen in Luke chapter 21.
Two Thousand years ago Yeshua came to this earth, fully divine, in the flesh of a human being! He came to bring restoration, redemption and salvation to Israel and the Jewish People. In His own words he said He came for the lost sheep of the house of Israel! Yet He also said in:
John 10:16. Also I have other sheep which are not from this pen; I need to bring them, and they will hear my voice; and there will be one flock, one shepherd. (Just like Ezekiel 37:24. My servant David will be king over them, and all of them will have one shepherd; they will live by my rulings and keep and observe my regulations.)
One flock, one shepherd. This speaks directly to the One New Man of Ephesians 2 and to Romans 11, the natural and native branch in the one olive tree which is Israel. We are not to be divided, we are not to be in separate but equal streams of worship, we, Jew and Gentile are to be Echad, united, one! Under the leadership of David, the Jewish King, a messianic reference to Moshiach, Yeshua! When Yeshua walked the earth Gods move and outpouring was exclusively Jewish until:
Acts 10:30-35. Cornelius answered, "Three days ago around this time, I was at minchah prayers (Ninth hour (nonz in latin) in western translations-mid afternoon prayer time taken from the Temple Minchah sacrifice done at 3PM) in my house, when suddenly a man in shining clothes stood in front of me 31 and said, 'God has heard your prayer and remembered your acts of charity. 32 Now send to Yafo and ask for Shim'on, known as Kefa; he is staying in the house of Shim'on, a leather-tanner, by the sea.' 33 So I sent for you immediately, and you have been kind enough to come. Now all of us are here in the presence of God to hear everything the Lord has ordered you to say." 34 Then Kefa addressed them: "I now understand that God does not play favorites, 35 but that whoever fears him and does what is right is acceptable to him, no matter what people he belongs to.
Acts chapters 10 and Acts 11 regarding Caesarea mark the dramatic inclusion of the Gentiles into the Yeshua movement 2,000 years ago! Gentiles were being reconciled unto God and being filled with the Ruach HaKodesh! Prior to this, Yeshua’s ministry, the upper room Holy Spirit outpouring on Shavuot, Sha’ul’s persecution of the early followers: ALL JEWISH! Peter and Cornelius are involved in a dramatic, radical shift in History. Cornelius is believing and worshipping Adonai according to scripture. They are praying at 3 PM, the Minchah sacrifice time at the Temple when suddenly Heaven invaded His life. God heard Cornelius’s prayers and His acts of tzedakah, his acts of charity to the Jewish people- do you see the pattern here?? Cornelius isn’t off doing his own thing or inventing his own religious practices, he in alignment with scripture and the Jewish people! Kefa, Peter shares the Good News of Yeshua’s crucifixion and resurrection, and that those who trust in Him and profess the name of Yeshua will be saved! And what occurred here between Jew and Gentile? A supernatural Outpouring of the Ruach, in a sudden moment of time history is changed forever:
Acts 10:44-47. Kefa was still saying these things when the Ruach HaKodesh fell on all who were hearing the message. 45 All the believers from the Circumcision faction who had accompanied Kefa were amazed that the gift of the Ruach HaKodesh was also being poured out 46 on the Goyim, for they heard them speaking in tongues and praising God. Kefa's response was, 47 "Is anyone prepared to prohibit these people from being immersed in water? After all, they have received the Ruach HaKodesh, just as we did."
This marks a profound historical transition, a shift in the Kingdom of Heaven which happened suddenly! Peter says now he knows what the dream was all about! It had nothing to do with eating Ham Sandwiches! Peter stated the purpose of the dream in verse 34 & 35: "I now understand that God does not play favorites, 35 but that whoever fears him and does what is right is acceptable to him, no matter what people he belongs to.”
We are in a period of expectation today, we all sense a certain buzz in the atmosphere in Adonai’s presence! We live in a period of suddenness, a time of spontaneity, a time of radical paradigm shifts within the kingdom! The concerns of daily life, our daily routines, life itself comes at us and fills our time, mostly with distractions, that desensitizes us to the reality of Gods Kingdom and His word. Then, suddenly, in a blink of an eye it all changes!! Yeshua warned us in:
Luke 21:34. "But keep watch on yourselves, or your hearts will become dulled by carousing, drunkenness and the worries of everyday living, and that Day will be sprung upon you suddenly (aiphnidios {aheef-nid'-ee-os} unexpected, suddenly, unforeseen) like a trap!
Adonai is loudly speaking to us and as Yeshua warned us don’t become dulled by everyday life! The Kingdom of God is rapidly changing, suddenly there will be a dramatic and supernatural restoration which has begun as I’ve spoken of and referenced to before. What happened in the upper room 2,000 years ago? Suddenly a mighty roar! Here is the key regarding Yeshua’s return:
Acts 3:21-26. He has to remain in heaven until the time comes for restoring everything, as God said long ago, when he spoke through the holy prophets. 22 For Moshe himself said, 'ADONAI will raise up for you a prophet like me from among your brothers. You are to listen to everything he tells you. 23 Everyone who fails to listen to that prophet will be removed from the people and destroyed.' 24 Indeed, all the prophets announced these days, starting with Sh'mu'el and continuing through all who followed. 25 "You are the sons of the prophets; and you are included in the covenant which God made with our fathers when he said to Avraham, 'By your seed will all the families of the earth be blessed.' 26 So it is to you first that God has sent his servant whom he has raised up, so that he might bless you by turning each one of you from your evil ways."
Revelation demands participation! This restoration is restoring Gods word as it was when Yeshua was here 2,000 years ago! Were going back to the future. I’ve taught for decades about the One New Man, God’s plan of salvation to the Jew First, Jewish revival and restoration! Now its time! We who are in receipt of so much revelation must turn to participation and do something about it! We must begin cleansing and preparing! Restoration will happen quickly. Are you ready?
