I Am Making Churches of Nations - Part 1
Prophetic Word - 8th August 2021
There Will Be A Reversal of The Edict & I Am Making Churches of Nations
God showed me a buried gold crown and told me again "There will be a reversal of the edict. I am making churches of nations."
This is further confirmation and information that relates to two previous Prophetic Words on the reversal of the edict, which you can read here.
There Will Be A Reversal of The Edict
God showed me Ezekiel chapters 1 to 7 and 1 Kings chapters 1 to 7, and in addition to these chapters, the Holy Spirit lead me through the history of Israel and Ishmael.
And so we begin this Word, as always, at the beginning, where we can identify the root, together with God's plan.
Whenever I research and write these Prophetic Words, I never know where God is going to take me, it's always a surprise and I am always amazed.
What This Word & Vision Represents
The buried gold crown is showing a loss of the royal head covering that adorns a king or queen, and it's burial represents the end of that reign.
A reversal of the edict refers to a curse that was meant for another, being returned to the sender or redirected to the party who's actions or inactions warrant it.
I am making churches of nations is a reference to God bringing His people back to Him through His Almighty power and might.
In this time of great harvest, God is turning entire nations back to Him, which is a remarkable feat requiring great exposure, great understanding and great wisdom.
We are in a time like no other, where the old must die to make way for the new, where the old wine skins can not hold the new wine and where God is doing a new thing.
What This Word Relates To
This Word relates to the longstanding Israeli and Arab conflict, specifically in relation to the area that is called Palestine, and any other nation that comes against Israel.
The land of Israel, as given to the Israelites by God by eternal covenant, is currently being occupied by various Arab nations, and this Word relates to the enemies of God, who God's wrath falls upon.
This is a deeply interesting and revealing Prophetic Word and I hope you will take great comfort from it, as I have.
There is always good news for all those with eyes to see and ears to hear, so let us turn our hearts towards God and return to Him.
And long may it go well with us.
Wickedness In The World
When human beings began to increase in number on the earth and daughters were born to them, the sons of God saw that the daughters of humans were beautiful, and they married any of them they chose.
The Nephilim were on the earth in those days - and also afterward - when the sons of God went to the daughters of humans and had children by them (Genesis 6:1-4).
The sons of God are believed to be angels who left their station, the Nephilim are believed to be giants who devoured everything and everyone and the children that were born from this unholy union are believed to be abominations.
The LORD saw how great the wickedness of the human race had become on the earth, and that every inclination of the thoughts of the human heart was only evil all the time. He regretted that He had made them and His heart was deeply troubled.
So the LORD said that He will wipe the human race from the face of the earth and all the living creatures with them (Genesis 6:5-7).
Noah Found Favour With God
But Noah found favour in the eyes of the LORD, as he was a righteous man, blameless among the people of his time, and he walked faithfully with God.
The earth was corrupt in God's sight and full of violence, for all the people had corrupted their ways.
So God told Noah He was going to put an end to all people and He told him to build himself an ark and gave him exact instructions.
God told Noah that He was going to bring floodwaters on the earth to destroy all life under the heavens, every creature that had the breath of life in it, everything on the earth would perish.
But God said that He would establish His covenant with Noah, and he will enter the ark - him and his sons and his wife, and his sons wives with them, together with 2 of every kind of living creatures, male and female, and every kind of food that was to be eaten, and Noah did everything just as God commanded him (Genesis 6:8-22).
God Destroyed All Life With A Flood
On the day that God had told Noah, all the springs of the great deep burst forth, and the floodgates of the heavens were opened and Noah and his family entered the ark.
Pairs of all creatures that had the breath of life in them came to Noah and entered the ark and then the LORD shut them in.
For 40 days the flood kept coming and as the waters increased, they lifted the ark high above the earth.
Every living thing that moved on land perished. Only Noah was left, and those with him in the ark.
The waters flooded the earth for 150 days (Genesis 7).
God's Covenant with Noah
But God remembered Noah and all the wild animals and the livestock that were with him in the ark, and he sent a wind over the earth, and the waters receded.
Then God told Noah to come out of the ark, him and his wife and his sons and their wives, and to bring out every kind of living creature that was with them - so they could multiply on the earth and be fruitful and increase in number on it.
God blessed Noah and his sons, and told them to be fruitful and increase in number and fill the earth. The fear and dread of them would fall on all the living creatures and God gave them into their hands saying everything that lived and moved about would be food for them.
God told them that He will surely demand an accounting for the life of another human being and that whoever sheds human blood, by humans shall their blood be shed; for in the image of God has God made mankind.
Then God established His covenant with Noah and with his descendants after him and with all life on earth - that never again will all life be destroyed by the waters of a flood (Genesis 8 & 9:1-17).
The Sons of Noah
The sons of Noah who came out of the ark were Shem, Ham and Japheth, and from them came the people who were scattered over the whole earth.
Noah planted a vineyard and when he drank some of its wine, he became drunk and lay uncovered inside his tent.
Ham, the father of Canaan, saw his father naked and told his two brothers outside. But Shem and Japheth took a garment and laid it across their shoulders; then they walked in backward and covered their father’s naked body. Their faces were turned the other way so that they would not see their father naked.
The exact nature of this sin is not documented in the bible and it is therefore unknown, but it resulted in a curse upon Canaan.
When Noah awoke and found out what his youngest son (Ham) had done to him, he cursed Canaan as the lowest of slaves to his brothers (Genesis 9:18-25).
The Canaanites
The Canaanites descended from Canaan, Noah's grandson through Ham.
Canaan was the father of Sidon his firstborn, and of the Hittites, Jebusites, Amorites, Girgashites, Hivites, Arkites, Sinites, Arvadites, Zemarites and Hamathites.
Later the Canaanite clans scattered and the borders of Canaan reached from Sidon toward Gerar as far as Gaza, and then toward Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah and Zeboyim, as far as Lasha (Genesis 10:15-19).
The Canaanites were a wicked and idolatrous nation who engaged and indulged in idol worship and sexual immorality.
These are detestable practices which God abhors and which result in depravity, debauchery, debasement, downfall and ultimately, destruction and death through divine judgment.
The Semites
The Semites were descendants of Shem (one of Noah's sons), and Abram was a descendant of Shem.
Terah was the father of Abram, Nahor and Haran. And Haran became the father of Lot.
While Abram's father Terah was still alive, Haran died in Ur of the Chaldeans, in the land of his birth.
Terah took his son Abram, his grandson Lot, and his daughter-in-law Sarai, Abram's wife, and they set out from Ur of the Chaldeans to go to Canaan.
But when they came to Harran, they settled there (Genesis 11:10-31)
The Call of Abram
God told Abram to go from his country, his people and his father's household to the land He would show him.
He will make him into a great nation, and He will bless him; He will make Abram's name great, and he will be a blessing.
God said that He will bless those who bless him, and whoever curses him He will curse; and all peoples on earth will be blessed through him.
So Abram went, as the LORD had told him and he was 75 when he set out from Harran.
Abram took his wife Sarai, his nephew Lot, all the possessions they had accumulated and the people they had acquired in Harran, and they set out for the Canaan, and arrived there (Genesis 12:1-5).
The Land of Canaan
At that time, the Canaanites were in the land.
The LORD appeared to Abram and told him that to his offspring, He will give the land of Canaan (Genesis 12:6-7).
The word of the LORD came to Abram and told him that his heir will be a son who is his own flesh and blood, and that his offspring will be as numerous as the stars.
And Abram believed the Lord, and He credited it to him as righteousness.
God made a covenant with Abram and told him that to his descendants, he will give the land from the Wadi of Egypt to the great river, the Euphrates - the land of the Kenites, Kenizzites, Kadmonites, Hittites, Perizzites, Rephaites, Amorites, Canaanites, Girgashites and Jebusites (Genesis 15:18-21).
The Promised Land of Israel
The land God stated belongs to Israel includes everything modern-day Israel currently possesses, plus all of the territory occupied by the Palestinians (the West Bank and Gaza), plus some of Egypt and Syria, plus all of Jordan, plus some of Saudi Arabia and Iraq.
God told Joshua their territory will extend from the desert to Lebanon, and from the great river, the Euphrates—all the Hittite country—to the Mediterranean Sea in the west (Joshua 1:4).
God said that He will establish their borders from the Red Sea to the Mediterranean Sea, and from the desert to the Euphrates River (Exodus 23:31) and He told Moses the specific boundaries on every side of Canaan (Numbers 34:3-12).
The red dot on the map below is the territory that Israel currently controls, which is a fraction of what God promised them.
God's promises never come in the timeline or way that we expect, and we have to go through many trials and tribulations to overcome the challenges associated with stepping into His promises.
Ishmael - Abraham's First Son
Sarai, Abram’s wife, had borne him no children, and thinking that the Lord had kept her from having children, told Abram to sleep with her Egyptian slave, Hagar. Abram agreed and Sarai took Hagar and gave her to her husband to be his wife, and she conceived.
When we go against God and do our own thing, we create what was never meant to be, and even though God can bring good from everything, His promise to Abram was through Sarai (Genesis 2:24), and we know this because God's plan is for us to be monogamous, one man joined to one woman, becoming one flesh (Genesis 2:24).
Then Sarai mistreated Hagar so Hagar fled and the angel of the LORD found her near a spring in the desert and told her to go back and submit to Sarai, and that He will increase her descendants so much that they will be too numerous to count.
The angel of the LORD told Hagar she shall name her son Ishmael, for He had heard of her misery. He then told her that he will be a wild donkey of a man; his hand will be against everyone and everyone’s hand against him, and he will live in hostility toward all his brothers.
So Hagar bore Abram a son and Abram who was 86, gave him the name Ishmael (Genesis 16).
God's Covenant Is With Isaac Not Ishmael
God changed Abram's name to Abraham as he would become the father of many nations, and established His covenant between Himself, Abraham and Abraham's descendants after him for the generations to come, and the whole land of Canaan was given as an everlasting possession (Genesis 17:3-8).
God told Abram that he was to no longer call his wife Sarai, her name would be Sarah, and that He would bless her and would surely give him a son by her, that she would be the mother of nations and that kings of peoples would come from her (Genesis 17:15-16).
Abraham laughed as he was 100 and Sarah was 90 (Genesis 17:17), but God said that Sarah would bear him a son, and he would call him Isaac, and God would establish His covenant with Isaac.
Abraham said to God "If only Ishmael might live under your blessing!" (Genesis 17:18) And God said that He would surely bless Ishmael and that he would be the father of 12 rulers (not to be confused with the 12 tribes of Israel) and that He would make him into a great nation (Genesis 17:20).
Ishmael's descendants settled in the area from Havilah to Shur, near the eastern border of Egypt, and they lived in hostility toward all the tribes related to them (Genesis 25:18).
The Israelites Are Through Isaac Through Jacob
The Israelites came from the line of Jacob, through Isaac and Rebekah (Genesis 25:21).
When Rebekah was pregnant, the babies jostled each other within her, and when she went to inquire of the Lord, He told her that two nations were in her womb, two peoples from within her that would be separated, one would be stronger than the other and the older would serve the younger.
Esau and Jacob were twins, Esau came out first and then his brother Jacob, with his hand grasping Esau's heel (Genesis 25:21-26).
Esau sold Jacob his birthright (Genesis 25:31-34) and then later on Jacob took Esau's blessing (Genesis 27:1-41).
There's a purpose to every detail that God reveals, and I wonder if the jostling that took place whilst they were in the womb created a change in the natural order of birth and if perhaps the birthright and blessing of the first born was Jacob's all along.
Jacob's Blessing
Isaac's blessing to Jacob was for God to give him heaven's dew and earth's richness - an abundance of grain and new wine. May nations serve him and peoples bow down to him. Be lord over his brothers, and may the sons of his mother bow down to him. May those who curse him be cursed and those who bless him be blessed (Genesis 27:28-29).
Esau wept aloud when he realised that Jacob had deceitfully taken both his birthright and his blessing.
With the blessing given to Jacob, Isaac told Esau that his dwelling will be away from the earth's richness, away from the dew of heaven above and that Esau will live by the sword and serve his brother, but when he grows restless, he will throw his yoke from off his neck (Genesis 27:30-40).
Esau was planning to avenge himself by killing Jacob so their mother, Rebekah, told him to flee to her brother Laban in Harran and stay with him until Esau's fury subsided (Genesis 27:41-45).
So Isaac called for Jacob and asked God Almighty to bless him and make him fruitful and increase his numbers until he had become a community of peoples and to give him and his descendants the blessing given to Abraham, so that he may take possession of the land God gave to Abraham (Genesis 28:1-4).
Esau's Curse
In addition to losing both his birthright and blessing, God disobeyed God too. When he realised how displeasing the Canaanite women were to his father Isaac, he went to Ishmael and married one of his daughters, in addition to the wives he already had (Genesis 28:6-9).
God loved Jacob, but hated Esau (Romans 9:13).
God said that He will make Edom (from Esau) small among the nations; he will be utterly despised, for the pride of his heart had deceived him.
Esau will be ransacked, his hidden treasures pillaged! In that day, the wise men will be destroyed, the warriors will be terrified and everyone in Esau’s mountains will be cut down in the slaughter.
Because of the violence against his brother Jacob, he will be covered with shame and destroyed forever (Obadiah 1:10).
God Loved Jacob But Hated Esau
When Israel asked how God loved them, He told them that He had loved Jacob, but hated Esau. God had turned Esau's hill country into a wasteland and left his inheritance to the desert jackals.
Edom (the Edomites were from Esau) may say, “Though we have been crushed, we will rebuild the ruins,” but whilst they may build, God will demolish. They will be called the Wicked Land, a people always under the wrath of the Lord.
The Israelites will see it with their own eyes and proclaim God's greatness, even beyond the borders of Israel! (Malachi 1:2-5).
The day of the Lord is near for all nations. As he has done, it will be done to him; his deeds will return upon his own head (Obadiah 1:15).
But on Mount Zion will be deliverance; it will be holy, and Jacob will possess his inheritance. Jacob will be a fire and Joseph a flame; Esau will be stubble, and they will set him on fire and destroy him. There will be no survivors from Esau (Obadiah 1:17-18).
God Changed Jacob's Name To Israel
Jacob got married and had a family of his own and one day God told him to go back to the land of his fathers and to his relatives, and said that He will be with him (Genesis 31:3).
Whilst on his journey to meet Esau, the angels of God met him (Genesis 32:1).
Along the way, a man wrestled with Jacob till daybreak and when he saw that he could not overpower him, the man touched the socket of Jacob's hip so that his hip was wrenched.
Then the man told Jacob to let him go, but Jacob told him that he would not let him go unless he blessed him.
The man said that his name will no longer be Jacob, but Israel, because he had struggled with God and with humans and had overcome (Genesis 32:24-28).
The People Who Lived In Canaan
The people who lived in Canaan were powerful, the cities were fortified and very large and descendants of Anak (Numbers 13:28) were there. The descendants of Anak came from the Nephilim (Numbers 13:33).
The men who had gone up with Caleb to explore the land before they took possession of it said that they couldn't attack the people who lived there because they were stronger than they were and that all the people they saw there were of great size.
They also said that they saw the Nephilim there and that they seemed like grasshoppers in their own eyes, and they looked the same to them (Numbers 13:31-33).
God told the Israelites that the nations that they were to go in and dispossess were greater and stronger than they were, with large cities and walls up to the sky. They were strong and tall - Anakites! (Deuteronomy 9:1-2).
But they were a wicked and idolatrous people who had corrupted both the truth about God and also themselves, and their lifestyle was a threat to the religious purity of the Israelites, as their godless living was in conflict with the devotion to the God of Israel.
God Sends An Angel Ahead To Guard The Israelites
Gold told the Israelites that He was sending an angel ahead of them to guard them along the way and to bring them to the place He had prepared.
Gold told them they must pay attention to him and listen to what he said.
He told them not to rebel against him; he would not forgive their rebellion, since God's Name was in him.
God told them that if they listen carefully to what he said and do all that He said, He would be an enemy to their enemies and would oppose those who oppose them.
His angel will go ahead of them and bring them into the land of the Amorites, Hittites, Perizzites, Canaanites, Hivites and Jebusites, and He would wipe them out (Exodus 23:20-23).
God Drives The Nations Out Before Them
God told them they may say to themselves, "These nations are stronger than we are. How can we drive them out?"
God told them they must not be afraid of them; and must remember well what the LORD their God did to Pharaoh and to all Egypt.
They saw with their own eyes the great trials, the signs and wonders, the mighty hand and outstretched arm, with which the LORD their God brought them out.
God will do the same to all the peoples they now fear (Deuteronomy 7:17-19).
Those who hate God, He will repay to their face by destruction and He will not be slow to repay (Deuteronomy 7:10).
God Drives Out The Nations Little By Little
Moreover, God will send the hornet among them until even the survivors who hide from them had perished, for the LORD their God, who was among them, is a great and awesome God.
God said that He would drive out those nations before them, little by little. They would not be allowed to eliminate them all at once, or the wild animals would multiply around them.
But God would deliver them over to them, throwing them into great confusion until they were destroyed.
He would give their kings into their hand, and they would wipe out their names from under heaven.
No one would be able to stand up against them; they would destroy them (Deuteronomy 7:20-24).
God Sent His Terror Ahead of Them
God told them that He would send His terror ahead of them and throw into confusion every nation they encounter.
He would make all their enemies turn their backs and run.
Little by little God would drive them out before them, until they had increased enough to take possession of the land (Exodus 23:27-30).
God told the Israelites to be assured that He is the one who goes ahead of them like a devouring fire.
He will destroy them; He will subdue them before them (Deuteronomy 9:3).
Remember The LORD
Moses told them to be careful to follow all of God's commands, laws and decrees so that they may live and increase and may enter and possess the land the LORD promised on oath to their ancestors.
He told them to remember how the LORD their God led them all the way in the wilderness these 40 years, to humble and test them in order to know what was in their heart, whether or not they would keep His commands.
God humbled them, causing them to hunger and then feeding them with manna, to teach them that man does not live on bread alone but on every word that comes from the mouth of the LORD.
Moses told them to know in their heart that as a man disciplines his son, so the LORD their God disciplines them.
Moses told them to observe God's commands, walking in obedience to Him and revering Him (Deuteronomy 8:1-6).
God Gives Us Everything
For God was bringing them into a good land - a land where they would lack nothing, and when they had eaten and were satisfied, Moses told them to praise God for the good land He had given them.
Otherwise, when they ate and were satisfied, when they had built fine houses and settled down, and when their herds and flocks grew large and their silver and gold increased and all they had was multiplied, then their heart would become proud and they would forget God, who brought them out of Egypt, out of slavery.
They might say to themselves, their power and the strength of their hands had produced their wealth for them, but it is God who gives the ability to produce wealth, and so confirms His covenant, which He swore to their ancestors.
Moses told them that if they ever forgot God and follow other gods and worship and bow down to them, he testifies against them that day that they would surely be destroyed.
Like the nations the LORD destroyed before them, so they would be destroyed for not obeying the LORD their God (Deuteronomy 8:7-20).
Not Because of Israel's Righteousness
Moses told the Israelites that after God had driven the nations out before them, they must not say to themselves that the LORD had brought them there to take possession of this land because of their righteousness or their integrity.
No, it was on account of the wickedness of those nations that the LORD is going to drive them out before them, to accomplish what He swore to their fathers, to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
Moses told them they must remember this and never forget how they aroused the anger of the LORD their God in the wilderness, so that He was angry enough to destroy them (Deuteronomy 9:4-8).
For they had been rebellious against the LORD ever since Moses had known them (Deuteronomy 9:24).
God told Moses that the Israelites are a stiff-necked people and he wanted to destroy them many times, but Moses interceded for them and God relented (Deuteronomy 9:8-29).
God Told The Israelites To Destroy The Nations Totally
God told them that when He brought them into the land they were entering to possess and drives out before them many nations - the Hittites, Girgashites, Amorites, Canaanites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites, 7 nations larger and stronger than them - and when He had delivered them over to them, they must destroy them totally.
God told them to make no treaty with them, and show them no mercy.
They must not intermarry with them, or give their daughters to their sons or take their daughters for their sons, for they will turn their children away from following God to serve other gods, and the LORD's anger will burn against them and will quickly destroy them (Deuteronomy 7:1-4).
But the Israelites did not totally destroy them as God had commanded and they intermarried, made treaties and served their gods, and in doing so were lead astray.
In addition, their disobedience lead to the nation's downfall.
God Told The Israelites To Destroy Their Idols
God told them to break down their altars, smash their sacred stones, cut down their Asherah poles and burn their idols in the fire (Deuteronomy 7:5).
They must not covet the silver and gold on them, and not take it for themselves, or they would be ensnared by it, for it was detestable to God.
They must not bring a detestable thing into their house or they, like it, will be set apart for destruction (Deuteronomy 7:25-26), for the sacrifices of pagans are offered to demons, not to God, and we are not to be participants with demons (1 Corinthians 10:20).
God told them not to bow down before their gods or worship them or follow their practices (Exodus 23:24).
God told them they must not make a covenant with them or with their gods and must not let them live in their land or they will cause them to sin against God, because the worship of their gods would certainly be a snare to them (Exodus 23:32).
The Wickedness of The Nations God Drove Out
The Canaanites defiled themselves through sexual perversion and sexual immorality which included incest, familial relations, homosexuality and bestiality (Leviticus 18:1-24 & 20:10-21).
They sacrificed their children to Molek (Leviticus 18:21 & 20:1-5), the detestable god of the Ammonites (1 Kings 11:5), a sin that results in God Himself setting His face against both the person and their family, and being put to death.
Because of all these things, God abhorred them (Leviticus 20:23), therefore He gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another.
They exchanged the truth about God for a lie, and worshipped and served created things rather than the Creator (Romans 1:24-25).
Even the land was defiled, so God punished it for its sin, and the land vomited out its inhabitants (Leviticus 18:25-28).
