THE JEBUSITES

 JEBUSITE MEANS TO TROD DOWN WITH THE FEET TO TRAMPLE , TO PUT YOUR FOOT ON THE NECK'. IT ALSO MEANS POLLUTION AND DEFILEMENT OF THE TEMPLE BODY, SOUL, AND SPIRIT,MORE  TO CAST DOWN IN ORDER TO DESTROY . JEBUS AN OLD NAME FOR JERUSALEM . THIS CLAN ORIGINALLY CONTROLLED JERUSALEM.

AT THE TIME JERUSALEM CALLED THE STRONGHOLD OF ZION WAS HELD BY THE JEBUSITES, AND ITS TERRACED DEFENSIVE WALLS AND NEARBY STEEP HILLS AND VALLEYS MADE IT SEEM IMPENETRABLE . BUT DAVID SENT MEN UP A WATER SHAFT TO CAPTURE THE STRONGHOLD , AND HE RENAMED IT THE CITY OF DAVID.

JUDGES 1:21 

Also Judah took Gaza with the coast thereof, and Askelon with the coast thereof, and Ekron with the coast thereof. 19And the LORD was with Judah; and he drave out the inhabitants of the mountain; but could not drive out the inhabitants of the valley, because they had chariots of iron. 20And they gave Hebron unto Caleb, as Moses said: and he expelled thence the three sons of Anak. 21And the children of Benjamin did not drive out the Jebusites that inhabited Jerusalem; but the Jebusites dwell with the children of Benjamin in Jerusalem unto this day. 22And the house of Joseph, they also went up against Bethel: and the LORD was with them. 23And the house of Joseph sent to descry Bethel. (Now the name of the city before was Luz.) 24And the spies saw a man come forth out of the city, and they said unto him, Shew us, we pray thee, the entrance into the city, and we will shew thee mercy.

PHILL. 4:19

THE THRONE OF GOD HOLY, HOLY, HOLY

 REV 4

After this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened in heaven: and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up hither, and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter. 2And immediately I was in the spirit: and, behold, a throne was set in heaven, and one sat on the throne. 3And he that sat was to look upon like a jasper and a sardine stone: and there was a rainbow round about the throne, in sight like unto an emerald. 4And round about the throne were four and twenty seats: and upon the seats I saw four and twenty elders sitting, clothed in white raiment; and they had on their heads crowns of gold. 5And out of the throne proceeded lightnings and thunderings and voices: and there were seven lamps of fire burning before the throne, which are the seven Spirits of God. 6And before the throne there was a sea of glass like unto crystal: and in the midst of the throne, and round about the throne, were four beasts full of eyes before and behind. 7And the first beast was like a lion, and the second beast like a calf, and the third beast had a face as a man, and the fourth beast was like a flying eagle.

And immediately I was in the spirit: and, behold, a throne was set in heaven, and one sat on the throne. 3And he that sat was to look upon like a jasper and a sardine stone: and there was a rainbow round about the throne, in sight like unto an emerald. 4And round about the throne were four and twenty seats: and upon the seats I saw four and twenty elders sitting, clothed in white raiment; and they had on their heads crowns of gold. 5And out of the throne proceeded lightnings and thunderings and voices: and there were seven lamps of fire burning before the throne, which are the seven Spirits of God. 6And before the throne there was a sea of glass like unto crystal: and in the midst of the throne, and round about the throne, were four beasts full of eyes before and behind. 7And the first beast was like a lion, and the second beast like a calf, and the third beast had a face as a man, and the fourth beast was like a flying eagle. 8And the four beasts had each of them six wings about him; and they were full of eyes within: and they rest not day and night, saying, Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, which was, and is, and is to come.



THE THRONE OF GOD

HE EXCERCISES A JURISDICTION AND GOVERNMENT; HE IS KING AND LAWGIVER IN IT; HE ENACTS LAWS  AND HE WRITES THEM ON THE HEARTS OF HIS PEOPLE AND PUTS HIS SPIRIT WITHIN THEM, AND MAKES THEM BOTH ABLE AND WILLING TO OBEY HIM.

REV. 4:2

KINGS AND RULERS THE LORD SET THEM UP AND ALSO REMOVES THEM

 


PROVERBS THE KINGS HEART IS IN THE HAND OF  THE LORD, LIKE THE RIVERS OF WATER; HE TURNS IT WHEREVER HE WISHES.  IN ANCIENT TIMES, NATIONS OFTEN CALLED THEIR KINGS GODS. NONE COULD CALL THEM TO ACCOUNT.

SAUL IS THE FIRST KING OF THE KINGDOM OF ISRAEL AND JUDAH. DAVID AS THE SECOND KING. KING SOLOMON WAS RICH AND CLEVER. 

SAUL WAS DETHRONED BECAUSE HE HAD SELFISH AMBITIONS AND DID NOT WANT TO LISTEN TO THE LORD. DAVID WAS A MAN AFTER GOD'S OWN HEART WHO WAS BRAVE ENOUGH TO TAKE DOWN A BIG GIANT NAMED GOLIATH AS A YOUNG BOY, EVEN THOUGH HE DID THAT HE HAD A WEAKNESS FOR ANOTHER MAN'S WIFE.

SOLOMON WAS VERY WISE RICH AND BUSINESS SAAVY BUT HE WENT AFTER PAGAN WOMEN WHO FOLLOWED OTHER GODS.  

THESE PEOPLE WERE KINGS IN THE WORLD. THE LORD OF LORD AND KING OF KINGS IS SOVERIGN. THOSE PEOPLE RLED OVER EARTHLY THINGS BUT THE LORD RULES OVER ALL CREATION. HE IS THE RULER OF ALL IN ALL AND OF ALL. HE SETS UP KINGS AND REMOVES THEM AS WELL.

DANIEL 2:21

AND HE CHANGETH THE TIMES AND SEASONS; HE REMOVES KINGS AND ESTABLISHES THEM. HE GIVES WISDOM UNTO THE WISE, AND KNOWLEDGE TO THOSE WHO HAVE UNDERSTANDING

THE FORMER AND LATTER RAIN

 Be glad, O children of Zion,

and rejoice in the LORD your God,

for He has given you the autumn rains

for your vindication.

He sends you showers,

both autumn and spring rains, as before.

24The threshing floors will be full of grain,

and the vats will overflow with new wine and oil.

JOEL 2 :23-26


I will repay you for the years eaten by locusts—

the swarming locust, the young locust,

the destroying locust, and the devouring locustf

My great army that I sent against you.

26You will have plenty to eat,

until you are satisfied.


They have not said in their hearts,

‘Let us fear the LORD our God,

who gives the rains, both autumn and spring, in season,

who keeps for us the appointed weeks of harvest.’ JEREMIAH 5:24


THE LORD THY GOD BLESSES YOU BREAD AND WATER . HE WILL INCREASE AND MULTIPLY WHAT YOU STAND IN NEED OF AND GIVE YOU MORE THAN PLENTY.

JOSHUA RETURNED BACK TO GILGAL AFTER DEFEATING 5 KINGS

 11 And it came to pass, as they fled from before Israel, and were in the going down to Bethhoron, that the Lord cast down great stones from heaven upon them unto Azekah, and they died: they were more which died with hailstones than they whom the children of Israel slew with the sword.

12 Then spake Joshua to the Lord in the day when the Lord delivered up the Amorites before the children of Israel, and he said in the sight of Israel, Sun, stand thou still upon Gibeon; and thou, Moon, in the valley of Ajalon.

13 And the sun stood still, and the moon stayed, until the people had avenged themselves upon their enemies. Is not this written in the book of Jasher? So the sun stood still in the midst of heaven, and hasted not to go down about a whole day.

14 And there was no day like that before it or after it, that the Lord hearkened unto the voice of a man: for the Lord fought for Israel.

15 And Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, unto the camp to Gilgal.

16 But these five kings fled, and hid themselves in a cave at Makkedah.

17 And it was told Joshua, saying, The five kings are found hid in a cave at Makkedah.




YOUR ENEMY IS ALREADY DEFEATED JOSHUA 10

 6 And the men of Gibeon sent unto Joshua to the camp to Gilgal, saying, Slack not thy hand from thy servants; come up to us quickly, and save us, and help us: for all the kings of the Amorites that dwell in the mountains are gathered together against us.

So Joshua ascended from Gilgal, he, and all the people of war with him, and all the mighty men of valour.

And the Lord said unto Joshua, Fear them not: for I have delivered them into thine hand; there shall not a man of them stand before thee.

Joshua therefore came unto them suddenly, and went up from Gilgal all night.

10 And the Lord discomfited them before Israel, and slew them with a great slaughter at Gibeon, and chased them along the way that goeth up to Bethhoron, and smote them to Azekah, and unto Makkedah.

11 And it came to pass, as they fled from before Israel, and were in the going down to Bethhoron, that the Lord cast down great stones from heaven upon them unto Azekah, and they died: they were more which died with hailstones than they whom the children of Israel slew with the sword.

12 Then spake Joshua to the Lord in the day when the Lord delivered up the Amorites before the children of Israel, and he said in the sight of Israel, Sun, stand thou still upon Gibeon; and thou, Moon, in the valley of Ajalon.



JOSHUA AND THE 5 AMORITE KINGS CHAPTER 10

 10 Now it came to pass, when Adonizedec king of Jerusalem had heard how Joshua had taken Ai, and had utterly destroyed it; as he had done to Jericho and her king, so he had done to Ai and her king; and how the inhabitants of Gibeon had made peace with Israel, and were among them;

That they feared greatly, because Gibeon was a great city, as one of the royal cities, and because it was greater than Ai, and all the men thereof were mighty.

Wherefore Adonizedec king of Jerusalem, sent unto Hoham king of Hebron, and unto Piram king of Jarmuth, and unto Japhia king of Lachish, and unto Debir king of Eglon, saying,

Come up unto me, and help me, that we may smite Gibeon: for it hath made peace with Joshua and with the children of Israel.

Therefore the five kings of the Amorites, the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, the king of Eglon, gathered themselves together, and went up, they and all their hosts, and encamped before Gibeon, and made war against it.



JOSHUA DESTROYED AI AND FIVE AMORITE KINGS

THE THRESHING FLOOR SEPARATING THE WHEAT FROM THE TARES

 For most of its history, the threshing floor was an outside space. The grain was spread out over a stone or hard-packed dirt. Then an animal (an ox, donkey, or horse) would walk across the grain to break the kernels. So the outside shell of the grain would then need to be separated from the good part of the grain.

Indeed, your threshing will last for you until grape gathering, and grape gathering will last until sowing time. You will thus eat your food to the full and live securely in your land.


JUDGES 6:11 Then the angel of the Lord came and sat under the oak that was in Ophrah, which belonged to Joash the Abiezrite as his son Gideon was beating out wheat in the wine press in order to save it from the Midianites


1ST CHRON. 21:20 Now Ornan turned back and saw the angel, and his four sons who were with him hid themselves. And Ornan was threshing wheat.


1ST COR. 9:9 For it is written in the Law of Moses, “You shall not muzzle the ox while he is threshing.” God is not concerned about oxen, is He?


MATTHEW: 30:24-30

Another parable He put forth to them, saying: “The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field; 25 but while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat and went his way. 26 But when the grain had sprouted and produced a crop, then the tares also appeared. 27 So the servants of the owner came and said to him, ‘Sir, did you not sow good seed in your field? How then does it have tares?’ 28 He said to them, ‘An enemy has done this.’ The servants said to him, ‘Do you want us then to go and gather them up?’ 29 But he said, ‘No, lest while you gather up the tares you also uproot the wheat with them. 30 Let both grow together until the harvest, and at the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, “First gather together the tares and bind them in bundles to burn them, but gather the wheat into THE BARNS.
