The MAGNIFICENT city

Hebrews 11:10

King James Version

10 For he looked for a city which hath foundations, 

whose builder and maker is God.

For all who are weary of this world.

For all who have nothing in this world.

For all who are tired of the world's deception.

There is something magnificent to look forward to.

There will be a city, promised by GOD.

Of such glory, beauty, and magnificence.

No earthly palace, nor city, can compare.

Who can live there?

All who are born again in CHRIST.

All who love GOD, and believe in JESUS.

All who have dropped all sin, foolishness, and wickedness.

All who have repented of their evil deeds.

All who long for what only GOD can give.

All who listen to, and walk with SPIRIT.

All who have held on, to the end.

We may have troubles today.

We may be persecuted today.

We may be exhausted today.

But we must keep on.

We must keep the faith in CHRIST.

We must endure all our temporary afflictions.

Matthew 24:13

King James Version

13 But he that shall endure unto the end, 

the same shall be saved.

2 Corinthians 4:16-17

King James Version

16 For which cause we faint not; 

but though our outward man perish, 

yet the inward man is renewed day by day.

17 For our light affliction, 

which is but for a moment, 

worketh for us a far more exceeding 

and eternal weight of glory;

That magnificent city will come.

Apostle John saw it.

He was given the vision.

And here's what to expect.

After the last battle where CHRIST triumphs.

And evil will be no more:

Revelation 21:1

King James Version

21 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: 

for the first heaven and the first earth 

were passed away; 

and there was no more sea.

Revelation 21:2

King James Version

2 And I John saw the holy city, 

new Jerusalem, 

coming down from God out of heaven, 

prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.

Revelation 21:3

King James Version

3 And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, 

Behold, 

the tabernacle of God is with men, 

and he will dwell with them, 

and they shall be his people, 

and God himself shall be with them, 

and be their God.

Revelation 21:4

King James Version

4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; 

and there shall be no more death, 

neither sorrow, 

nor crying, 

neither shall there be any more pain: 

for the former things are passed away.

Revelation 21:5

King James Version

5 And he that sat upon the throne said, 

Behold, 

I make all things new. 

And he said unto me, 

Write: 

for these words are true and faithful.

Revelation 21:6

King James Version

6 And he said unto me, 

It is done. 

I am Alpha and Omega, 

the beginning and the end. 

I will give unto him that is athirst 

of the fountain of the water of life freely.

Revelation 21:7

King James Version

7 He that overcometh shall inherit all things; 

and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.

Revelation 21:9-11

King James Version

9 And there came unto me one of the seven angels 

which had the seven vials full of the seven last plagues, 

and talked with me, saying, 

Come hither, 

I will shew thee the bride, 

the Lamb's wife.

10 And he carried me away in the spirit 

to a great and high mountain, 

and shewed me that great city, 

the holy Jerusalem, 

descending out of heaven from God,

11 Having the glory of God: 

and her light was like unto a stone most precious, 

even like a jasper stone, clear as crystal;

Revelation 21:12

King James Version

12 And had a wall great and high, 

and had twelve gates, 

and at the gates twelve angels, 

and names written thereon, 

which are the names of the twelve tribes 

of the children of Israel:

Revelation 21:13

King James Version

13 On the east three gates; 

on the north three gates; 

on the south three gates; 

and on the west three gates.

Revelation 21:14

King James Version

14 And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, 

and in them the names 

of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.

Revelation 21:15-17

King James Version

15 And he that talked with me 

had a golden reed to measure the city, 

and the gates thereof, 

and the wall thereof.

16 And the city lieth foursquare, 

and the length is as large as the breadth: 

and he measured the city with the reed, 

twelve thousand furlongs. 

The length and the breadth and the height of it

 are equal.

17 And he measured the wall thereof, 

an hundred and forty and four cubits, 

according to the measure of a man, 

that is, of the angel.

Revelation 21:18

King James Version

18 And the building of the wall of it was of jasper: 

and the city was pure gold, like unto clear glass.

Revelation 21:19-20

King James Version

19 And the foundations of the wall of the city 

were garnished with all manner of precious stones. 

The first foundation was jasper; 

the second, sapphire; 

the third, a chalcedony; 

the fourth, an emerald;

20 The fifth, sardonyx; 

the sixth, sardius; 

the seventh, chrysolyte; 

the eighth, beryl; 

the ninth, a topaz; 

the tenth, a chrysoprasus; 

the eleventh, a jacinth; 

the twelfth, an amethyst.

Revelation 21:21

King James Version

21 And the twelve gates were twelve pearls: 

every several gate was of one pearl: 

and the street of the city was pure gold,

 as it were transparent glass.

Revelation 21:22

King James Version

22 And I saw no temple therein: 

for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb 

are the temple of it.

Revelation 21:23-24

King James Version

23 And the city had no need of the sun, 

neither of the moon, to shine in it: 

for the glory of God did lighten it, 

and the Lamb is the light thereof.

24 And the nations of them which are saved 

shall walk in the light of it: 

and the kings of the earth 

do bring their glory and honour into it.

Revelation 21:25

King James Version

25 And the gates of it shall not be shut at all by day: 

for there shall be no night there.

Revelation 21:26

King James Version

26 And they shall bring the glory 

and honour of the nations into it.

Revelation 22:1

King James Version

22 And he shewed me 

a pure river of water of life, 

clear as crystal, 

proceeding out of the throne of God 

and of the Lamb.

Revelation 22:2

King James Version

2 In the midst of the street of it, 

and on either side of the river, 

was there the tree of life, 

which bare twelve manner of fruits, 

and yielded her fruit every month: 

and the leaves of the tree were 

for the healing of the nations.

Revelation 22:3-4

King James Version

3 And there shall be no more curse: 

but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; 

and his servants shall serve him:

4 And they shall see his face; 

and his name shall be in their foreheads.

Revelation 22:5

King James Version

5 And there shall be no night there; 

and they need no candle, 

neither light of the sun; 

for the Lord God giveth them light: 

and they shall reign for ever and ever.

Be born again now.

Be perfect now.

Be holy now.

For these CANNOT enter the city's gates:

Revelation 21:8

King James Version

8 But the fearful, and unbelieving, 

and the abominable, and murderers, 

and whoremongers, and sorcerers, 

and idolaters, and all liars, 

shall have their part in the lake 

which burneth with fire and brimstone: 

which is the second death.

Revelation 21:27

King James Version

27 And there shall in no wise enter into it 

any thing that defileth, 

neither whatsoever worketh abomination, 

or maketh a lie: 

but they which are written 

in the Lamb's book of life.

Revelation 22:14-15

King James Version

14 Blessed are they that do his commandments, 

that they may have right to the tree of life,

 and may enter in through the gates into the city.

15 For without are dogs, and sorcerers, 

and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, 

and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.

Revelation 22:19

King James Version

19 And if any man shall take away 

from the words of the book of this prophecy, 

God shall take away his part out of the book of life, 

and out of the holy city, 

and from the things which are written 

in this book.

Be aware that the time is "at hand".

GOD's angel declares:

Revelation 22:6

King James Version

6 And he said unto me, 

These sayings are faithful and true: 

and the Lord God of the holy prophets 

sent his angel to shew unto his servants 

the things which must shortly be done.

Revelation 22:10-11

King James Version

10 And he saith unto me, 

Seal not the sayings of the prophecy of this book: 

for the time is at hand.

11 He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: 

and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: 

and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: 

and he that is holy, let him be holy still.

JESUS declares:

Revelation 22:7

King James Version

7 Behold, I come quickly: 

blessed is he that keepeth the sayings 

of the prophecy of this book.

Revelation 22:12-13

King James Version

12 And, behold, I come quickly; 

and my reward is with me, 

to give every man according as his work shall be.

13 I am Alpha and Omega, 

the beginning and the end, 

the first and the last.

Revelation 22:20

King James Version

20 He which testifieth these things saith, 

Surely I come quickly. 

Amen. 

Even so, come, Lord Jesus.

When JESUS emphasizes something, He does something.

He says it THREE times. 

Such as in these THREE words:

"I come quickly."

That's why we must heed the LORD's command:

Mark 1:15

King James Version

15 And saying, 

The time is fulfilled, 

and the kingdom of God is at hand: 

repent ye, 

and believe the gospel.

If you wish to be citizen of that city, our response should be:

Revelation 22:17

King James Version

17 And the Spirit and the bride say, 

Come. 

And let him that heareth say, 

Come. 

And let him that is athirst 

come. 

And whosoever will, 

let him take the water of life freely.

KIDRON valley DESTINY

 

"A view of Jerusalem from the south. Hinnom valley in foreground and Kidron valley to the right."

-- Free Bible Images

What is the significance of Kidron Valley?

What does the Bible say?

What was its past?

What is its present state?

What is its future?

Here's where SPIRIT led me.

First, what is the KIDRON valley?

"Kidron Valley (classical transliteration, Cedron, from Hebrew: נחל קדרון, Naḥal Qidron, literally Qidron River; also Qidron Valley)[1][2][3][4] is the modern name of the valley originating slightly northeast of the Old City of Jerusalem, which then separates the Temple Mount from the Mount of Olives, and ending at the Dead Sea. Beyond Jerusalem it continues in a general south-easterly direction through the Judean desert in the West Bank, reaching the Dead Sea near the settlement of Ovnat, and descending 4,000 feet (1,200 m) along its 20-mile (32 km) course."

-- Wikipedia

Its PAST.

King David flees Jerusalem, during Absalom's rebellion, crossing the Kidron valley:

2 Samuel 15:22-25

King James Version

22 And David said to Ittai, 

Go and pass over. 

And Ittai the Gittite passed over, 

and all his men, 

and all the little ones that were with him.

23 And all the country wept with a loud voice, 

and all the people passed over: 

the king also himself passed over the brook Kidron, 

and all the people passed over, 

toward the way of the wilderness.

24 And lo Zadok also, 

and all the Levites were with him, 

bearing the ark of the covenant of God: 

and they set down the ark of God; 

and Abiathar went up, 

until all the people had done passing out of the city.

25 And the king said unto Zadok, 

Carry back the ark of God into the city: 

if I shall find favour in the eyes of the Lord, 

he will bring me again, 

and shew me both it, and his habitation:

Under king Asa:

1 Kings 15:11-13

King James Version

11 And Asa did that which was right 

in the eyes of the Lord, as did David his father.

12 And he took away the sodomites out of the land, 

and removed all the idols that his fathers had made.

13 And also Maachah his mother, 

even her he removed from being queen, 

because she had made an idol in a grove; 

and Asa destroyed her idol, 

and burnt it by the brook Kidron.

Under king Josiah:

2 Kings 23:4-6

King James Version

4 And the king commanded Hilkiah the high priest, 

and the priests of the second order, 

and the keepers of the door, 

to bring forth out of the temple of the Lord 

all the vessels that were made for Baal, 

and for the grove, 

and for all the host of heaven: 

and he burned them without Jerusalem 

in the fields of Kidron, 

and carried the ashes of them unto Bethel.

5 And he put down the idolatrous priests, 

whom the kings of Judah had ordained 

to burn incense in the high places 

in the cities of Judah, 

and in the places round about Jerusalem; 

them also that burned incense unto Baal, 

to the sun, and to the moon, and to the planets, 

and to all the host of heaven.

6 And he brought out the grove 

from the house of the Lord, 

without Jerusalem, 

unto the brook Kidron, 

and burned it at the brook Kidron, 

and stamped it small to powder, 

and cast the powder thereof 

upon the graves of the children of the people.

Under king Hezekiah:

2 Chronicles 29:15-16

King James Version

15 And they gathered their brethren, 

and sanctified themselves, 

and came, 

according to the commandment of the king, 

by the words of the Lord, 

to cleanse the house of the Lord.

16 And the priests went 

into the inner part of the house of the Lord, 

to cleanse it, 

and brought out all the uncleanness 

that they found in the temple of the Lord 

into the court of the house of the Lord. 

And the Levites took it, 

to carry it out abroad into the brook Kidron.

After praising His Father, JESUS, with His disciples, go "over the brook Cedron":

John 18:1

King James Version

18 When Jesus had spoken these words, 

he went forth with his disciples 

over the brook Cedron, 

where was a garden, 

into the which he entered, 

and his disciples.

It is also where JESUS was betrayed:

John 18:2-6

King James Version

2 And Judas also, which betrayed him, 

knew the place: 

for Jesus ofttimes resorted thither with his disciples.

3 Judas then, 

having received a band of men and officers 

from the chief priests and Pharisees, 

cometh thither with lanterns 

and torches and weapons.

4 Jesus therefore, 

knowing all things that should come upon him, 

went forth, and said unto them, 

Whom seek ye?

5 They answered him, 

Jesus of Nazareth. 

Jesus saith unto them, 

I am he. 

And Judas also, which betrayed him, 

stood with them.

6 As soon then as he had said unto them, 

I am he, they went backward, 

and fell to the ground.

Kidron valley has had a dark past.

A very dark, sad, and painful past.

In testimony of man's abominations against GOD.

It has witnessed these things:

1. The presence of FIVE kings, foremost of which was JESUS.

2. The betrayal of GOD, and His temple, through man's idols.

3. The burning, and dumping, of such objects of betrayals.

4. The fleeing of king David, from his son's rebellion.

5. The betrayal of JESUS.

Its PRESENT.

Despite a painful past, Kidron valley is seeing a physical "regeneration":

"Kidron stream restoration project"

"Currently, part of East Jerusalem's and the Palestinian Authority's sewage waters flow freely into the Kidron stream causing severe environmental damage in the Judean desert and the Dead sea area. In a rare collaboration with the Palestinian Authority, Hagihon is leading the Kidron stream restoration project with a budget of close to a billion shekels. According to the plan the sewage flow to the stream will be stopped and diverted to a new collection line, through an 8-km long pipe to the Og purification facility. To avoid damage to the natural valley as well as to the Marsaba Monastery and other archeological sites, the route of the sewage line was diverted from the stream itself, through a 60 meter deep 1.3 km long tunnel. The project also includes the construction of a hydroelectric station to generate green electricity. The purified water will be used for agriculture and irrigation of palm groves in the Jordan Valley and the Palestinian Authority."

-- Wikipedia

Its FUTURE.

Pain, and betrayal, shall be no more.

The valley will have a spiritual "regeneration".

As prophesied by prophet Jeremiah, Kidron valley shall truly be sanctified and be "holy unto the Lord":

Jeremiah 31:40

King James Version

40 And the whole valley of the dead bodies, 

and of the ashes, 

and all the fields unto the brook of Kidron, 

unto the corner of the horse gate toward the east, 

shall be holy unto the Lord; 

it shall not be plucked up, 

nor thrown down any more 

for ever.

REBUILDING the GATES

Why Satan hates ISRAEL

 

Genesis 3:14

King James Version

14 And the Lord God said unto the serpent, 

Because thou hast done this, 

thou art cursed above all cattle, 

and above every beast of the field; 

upon thy belly shalt thou go, 

and dust shalt thou eat 

all the days of thy life:

It's an ancient hatred.

It started when GOD cursed the serpent.

When the enemy tempted Adam, through Eve.

Causing their fall, from grace.

Causing them death, from sin.

So, GOD declares:

Genesis 3:15

King James Version

15 And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, 

and between thy seed and her seed; 

it shall bruise thy head, 

and thou shalt bruise his heel.

From that, Satan knew there will be a "woman".

He also knew she will have a "seed".

This seed will "bruise" his head.

Now, we turn to the Book of Revelation to see the continuity of the story, that we may know the characters involved.

Revelation 12:1

King James Version

12 And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; 

a woman clothed with the sun, 

and the moon under her feet, 

and upon her head a crown of twelve stars:

Israel is that "woman" Satan hated.

The "twelve stars" are the 12 tribes of Israel.

Israel brought forth a "man child".

Revelation 12:5

King James Version

5 And she brought forth a man child, 

who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: 

and her child was caught up unto God, 

and to his throne.

The "man child" is JESUS.

As prophesied here:

Isaiah 9:6-7

King James Version

6 For unto us a child is born, 

unto us a son is given: 

and the government shall be upon his shoulder:

and his name shall be called Wonderful, 

Counsellor, 

The mighty God, 

The everlasting Father, 

The Prince of Peace.

7 Of the increase of his government and peace 

there shall be no end, 

upon the throne of David, 

and upon his kingdom, 

to order it, 

and to establish it 

with judgment and with justice 

from henceforth even for ever. 

The zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this.

In JESUS' own words, He Himself will rule with a "rod of iron":

Revelation 2:27

King James Version

27 And he shall rule them with a rod of iron; 

as the vessels of a potter 

shall they be broken to shivers: 

even as I received of my Father.

The child who was "caught up unto God" is JESUS "received up into heaven".

Which occurred after His last meeting with His apostles.

When He was resurrected:

Mark 16:19

King James Version

19 So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, 

he was received up into heaven, 

and sat on the right hand of God.

Satan was that "great red dragon" waiting in ambush for the birth of that "man child":

Revelation 12:3-4

King James Version

3 And there appeared another wonder in heaven; 

and behold a great red dragon, 

having seven heads and ten horns, 

and seven crowns upon his heads.

4 And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, 

and did cast them to the earth: 

and the dragon stood before the woman 

which was ready to be delivered, 

for to devour her child 

as soon as it was born.

Now, here comes the part where Satan begins hating Israel -- the "woman" -- who gave JESUS to the world:

Revelation 12:13

King James Version

13 And when the dragon saw 

that he was cast unto the earth, 

he persecuted the woman 

which brought forth the man child.

That persecution continues to this day, growing more each day.

Why was Satan "cast unto the earth"?

Revelation 12:7-9

King James Version

7 And there was war in heaven: 

Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; 

and the dragon fought and his angels,

8 And prevailed not; 

neither was their place found any more in heaven.

9 And the great dragon was cast out, 

that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, 

which deceiveth the whole world: 

he was cast out into the earth, 

and his angels were cast out with him.

At every opportunity, he sought the child's life.

He sought to tempt, and corrupt Him.

He must have celebrated, when JESUS was headed for the cross.

His hatred goes deep, thinking he sent JESUS to His death.

Not realizing it's all part of GOD's greater plan.

Hebrews 2:14-15

King James Version

14 Forasmuch then as the children 

are partakers of flesh and blood, 

he also himself likewise took part of the same; 

that through death he might destroy him 

that had the power of death, 

that is, the devil;

15 And deliver them who through fear of death 

were all their lifetime subject to bondage.

What Satan didn't know is that through JESUS' death on the cross, we got reconciled to GOD.

Hebrews 2:17

King James Version

17 Wherefore in all things it behoved him 

to be made like unto his brethren, 

that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest 

in things pertaining to God, 

to make reconciliation 

for the sins of the people.

Hebrews 9:15

King James Version

15 And for this cause 

he is the mediator of the new testament, 

that by means of death, 

for the redemption of the transgressions 

that were under the first testament, 

they which are called might receive 

the promise of eternal inheritance.

Through the blood of JESUS, we received redemption, and forgiveness.

Colossians 1:14

King James Version

14 In whom we have redemption 

through his blood, 

even the forgiveness of sins:

Satan thought the cross was the end of it.

Nope.

GOD had another surprise.

To top it all off, He resurrected JESUS.

Acts 2:24

King James Version

24 Whom God hath raised up, 

having loosed the pains of death: 

because it was not possible 

that he should be holden of it.

1 Peter 3:18

King James Version

18 For Christ also hath once suffered for sins,

 the just for the unjust, 

that he might bring us to God, 

being put to death in the flesh, 

but quickened by the Spirit:

CHRIST's resurrection gives us the promise of the same.

Romans 6:4

King James Version

4 Therefore we are buried with him 

by baptism into death: 

that like as Christ was raised up from the dead 

by the glory of the Father, 

even so we also should walk 

in newness of life.

And if you profess your belief in JESUS, believing GOD resurrected His Son, you will be saved.

Romans 10:9

King James Version

9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth 

the Lord Jesus,

and shalt believe in thine heart 

that God hath raised him from the dead, 

thou shalt be saved.

Further, if the SPIRIT of GOD dwells in you, our mortal bodies will also be resurrected by His SPIRIT.

Romans 8:11

King James Version

11 But if the Spirit of him 

that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, 

he that raised up Christ from the dead 

shall also quicken your mortal bodies 

by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.

To have GOD's SPIRIT in us, we must be born again.

It is a command from JESUS:

John 3:3-7

King James Version

3 Jesus answered and said unto him, 

Verily, verily, I say unto thee, 

Except a man be born again, 

he cannot see the kingdom of God.

4 Nicodemus saith unto him, 

How can a man be born when he is old? 

can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, 

and be born?

5 Jesus answered, 

Verily, verily, I say unto thee, 

Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, 

he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.

6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; 

and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.

7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, 

Ye must be born again.

Can you now see why Satan hates Israel so much?

GOD loves Israel.

Israel is the apple of GOD's eye.

Through Israel, JESUS was born, from the tribe of Judah.

GOD sent His only beloved Son, to save us from our sins.

Through His death, He defeated death, and the devil.

Through His resurrection, we have the promise of eternal life.

And it was all part of GOD's magnificent plan.

Which Satan was not privy to.

The next time you express hatred for Israel, do look into Bible prophecy.

Know why GOD chose Israel.

And how our salvation is tied with the Jews.

When you make war upon Israel, you make war upon GOD.

What are your chances for success?

Nil.

All this hatred for the Jews springs from that ancient hatred.

Which Satan had for GOD, JESUS, and Israel.

There is resentment, jealousy, pride, and a feeling of entitlement.

As well as fury, humiliation, and a feeling of being cheated.

After all Satan wanted GOD's throne.

Isaiah 14:12-14

King James Version

12 How art thou fallen from heaven, 

O Lucifer, son of the morning! 

how art thou cut down to the ground, 

which didst weaken the nations!

13 For thou hast said in thine heart, 

I will ascend into heaven, 

I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: 

I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, 

in the sides of the north:

14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; 

I will be like the most High.

All that "I will" cannot topple GOD's will.

Can you imagine the enemy's rage when all his plans crumbled?

And all because Israel, and JESUS, came into the picture.

Now you can see why both are SO hated in this world.

Time to wake up, folks!

Know the spirit driving you.

Is it of GOD, or of Satan?

Herod was influenced by Satan's spirit.

Consider when JESUS was born:

Matthew 2:7-8

King James Version

7 Then Herod, 

when he had privily called the wise men, 

enquired of them diligently what time the star appeared.

8 And he sent them to Bethlehem, and said, 

Go and search diligently for the young child; 

and when ye have found him, bring me word again, 

that I may come and worship him also.

Matthew 2:9

King James Version

9 When they had heard the king, they departed; 

and, lo, the star, which they saw in the east, 

went before them, 

till it came and stood over 

where the young child was.

10 When they saw the star, 

they rejoiced with exceeding great joy.

Matthew 2:11

King James Version

11 And when they were come into the house, 

they saw the young child with Mary his mother, 

and fell down, and worshipped him: 

and when they had opened their treasures, 

they presented unto him gifts; 

gold, and frankincense and myrrh.

Matthew 2:12

King James Version

12 And being warned of God in a dream 

that they should not return to Herod, 

they departed into their own country another way.

Matthew 2:13

King James Version

13 And when they were departed, 

behold, 

the angel of the Lord appeareth to Joseph 

in a dream, saying, 

Arise, and take the young child and his mother, 

and flee into Egypt, 

and be thou there until I bring thee word: 

for Herod will seek the young child 

to destroy him.

All I can say is what was Satan thinking?

Did he really think he could outmaneuver GOD?

Did he have the power to thwart GOD's plan?

Did he have greater power than JESUS?

Big, big mistake.

Let us give Israel the honor due her.

GOD chose her.

Who are we to reject her?
