Nahum
1:
6 Who can stand before his indignation? and who can abide in
the fierceness
of his anger? his fury is poured out like fire, and the rocks
are thrown down
by him.
"Who can stand
before his indignation?"
YHVH'S servants can, because HE is not angry with them.
Yet, those who continue to displease Our FATHER with their
unrepented
sinning will not be able to stand up against that which HE has
in store for them.
"and who can abide
in the fierceness of his anger?"
Again, those who do their very best for Our FATHER, YHVH, can
abide in the
burning anger YHVH can and will bring forth.
While, those who continue to transgress HIS Law, will feel the
fullness of
the fierceness of HIS anger. And, no man or beast (systems)
can stay
YHVH'S Hand from dealing out exactly as these people have
earned.
"his fury is poured
out like fire"
This should bring to mind the "lightning"
with it's corresponding "thunders",
and then, the "vials"
which will be poured out upon men and beasts
(governmental systems).
"and the rocks are
thrown down by him"
The word "rock"
refers to a 'refuge', a place or system which will provide
shelter for those under it's protection.
Yet, there is no earthly men's governments, nor beastly
governmental
system, not even Satan, himself, the spurious "rock",
which can "hide"
those who have transgressed YHVH'S Law so grievously,
therefore, they
will incur the fullness of YHVH'S Wrath.
Rev 6:12-17
12 And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo,
there was a
great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of
hair, and the
moon became as blood;
13 And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig
tree casteth her
untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind.
14 And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled
together; and every
mountain and island were moved out of their places.
15 And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich
men, and the
chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and
every free
man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the
mountains;
16 And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide
us from the face
of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the
Lamb:
17 For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be
able to stand? (KJV)
Remember this "day
of his wrath" is a
long period of time in this earthly
dimension.
It includes the 42 months that is given in which the "seven
trumpets" were
blown.
"And the kings of
the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the
chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and
every free
man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the
mountains; And said
to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the
face of him that
sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb:"
Remember, this is not the "wrath
of the Lamb" (for
these people knew not
The Truth, so they were blaming the "Lamb"
of doing something HE had not
done), but is a part of YHVH'S Plan.
The people, some in ignorance, often vilify YHVH and YAHSHUA,
even when
they do not realize they are doing so.
As the "seventh
seal" was opened,
Satan and his fallen angels were cast
into the "bottomless
pit". The time in
which Satan and the evil spirits of his
fallen angels are held there, they (through their most evil
spirits) cause so
much to occur in the earth. It is their evil spirits, and not
YHVH'S Wrath,
which is causing the people to be pained during those 42
months of the
"seven trumpets".
But, in the time of the "seven
thunders", it is
YHVH'S Wrath that is meant to
chastise and awaken as many as will to HIS Truth.
And, it is a part of YHVH'S Wrath that will cause our enemies
to attack us,
which will escalate into "nation
shall rise against nation, and kingdom
against kingdom: and there shall be earthquakes in divers
places, and there
shall be famines and troubles".
Ezek 38:1-23
1 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
2 Son of man, set thy face against Gog, the land of Magog, the
chief prince of
Meshech and Tubal, and prophesy against him,
3 And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee,
O Gog, the
chief prince of Meshech and Tubal:
4 And I will turn thee back, and put hooks into thy jaws, and
I will bring thee
forth, and all thine army, horses and horsemen, all of them
clothed with all
sorts of armour, even a great company with bucklers and
shields, all of them
handling swords:
5 Persia, Ethiopia, and Libya with them; all of them with
shield and helmet:
6 Gomer, and all his bands; the house of Togarmah of the north
quarters, and
all his bands: and many people with thee.
7 Be thou prepared, and prepare for thyself, thou, and all thy
company that
are assembled unto thee, and be thou a guard unto them.
8 After many days thou shalt be visited: in the latter
years thou shalt come
into the land that is brought back from the sword, and is
gathered out of
many people, against the mountains of Israel, which have been
always
waste: but it is brought forth out of the nations, and they
shall dwell safely all
of them.
9 Thou shalt ascend and come like a storm, thou shalt be like
a cloud to
cover the land, thou, and all thy bands, and many people with
thee.
10 Thus saith the Lord GOD; It shall also come to pass, that
at the same time
shall things come into thy mind, and thou shalt think an evil
thought:
11 And thou shalt say, I will go up to the land of unwalled
villages; I will go to
them that are at rest, that dwell safely, all of them dwelling
without walls,
and having neither bars nor gates,
12 To take a spoil, and to take a prey; to turn thine hand
upon the desolate
places that are now inhabited, and upon the people that are
gathered out of
the nations, which have gotten cattle and goods, that dwell in
the midst of
the land.
13 Sheba, and Dedan, and the merchants of Tarshish, with all
the young lions
thereof, shall say unto thee, Art thou come to take a spoil?
hast thou
gathered thy company to take a prey? to carry away silver and
gold, to take
away cattle and goods, to take a great spoil?
14 Therefore, son of man, prophesy and say unto Gog, Thus
saith the Lord
GOD; In that day when my people of Israel dwelleth safely,
shalt thou not
know it?
15 And thou shalt come from thy place out of the north
parts, thou, and many
people with thee, all of them riding upon horses, a great
company, and a
mighty army:
16 And thou shalt come up against my people of Israel, as a
cloud to cover
the land; it shall be in the latter days, and I will bring
thee against my land,
that the heathen may know me, when I shall be sanctified in
thee, O Gog,
before their eyes.
17 Thus saith the Lord GOD; Art thou he of whom I have spoken
in old time
by my servants the prophets of Israel, which prophesied in
those days many
years that I would bring thee against them?
18 And it shall come to pass at the same time when Gog shall
come against
the land of Israel, saith the Lord GOD, that my fury shall
come up in my face.
19 For in my jealousy and in the fire of my wrath have
I spoken, Surely in
that day there shall be a great shaking in the land of
Israel;
20 So that the fishes of the sea, and the fowls of the heaven,
and the beasts
of the field, and all creeping things that creep upon the
earth, and all the men
that are upon the face of the earth, shall shake at my
presence, and the
mountains shall be thrown down, and the steep places shall
fall, and every
wall shall fall to the ground.
21 And I will call for a sword against him throughout all
my mountains, saith
the Lord GOD: every man's sword shall be against his brother.
22 And I will plead against him with pestilence and with
blood; and I will rain
upon him, and upon his bands, and upon the many people that
are with him,
an overflowing rain, and great hailstones, fire, and
brimstone.
23 Thus will I magnify myself, and sanctify myself; and I will
be known in the
eyes of many nations, and they shall know that I am the LORD.
(KJV)
For, YHVH is not at all happy with the majority of HIS
children who call
themselves "Christians", nor those who have
prospered in this land because
of the misuse and misappropriation of YHVH'S blessings HE has
provided for
this land, and through them, has prospered the world.
Although, Satan and his fallen angels (still within the "bottomless
pit") are
yet influencing many men, and the "four dynasties"
even more actively
being affected by the four evil spirits from the "bottomless
pit", it is YHVH'S
Wrath which shall come upon those to whom HE has given so
much.
Nahum 1:
7 The LORD is good, a strong hold in the day of trouble; and
he knoweth
them that trust in him.
This "day of
trouble" has direct
reference to the time of the "seven
thunders".
This "day"
does not speak of a 24 hour period, but a unspecified amount
of
time needed to complete the "seven
thunders".
YHVH, Our FATHER, does "knoweth
them that trust in him".
HE knows the hearts of all men.
{This "day of
trouble" must occur
and be completed before Satan's fallen
angels are visible in the earth, because when the fallen
angels are here, that
"short time"
will be a time of "peace,
peace", albeit, a
false "peace".
Nahum 1:
8 But with an overrunning flood he will make an utter end of
the place
thereof, and darkness shall pursue his enemies.

Who are YHVH'S enemies?
They are those who will not learn from nor take heed to HIS
Great Wrath
which HE brought against them.
Some will have learned their lessons FATHER has brought forth
through HIS
chastisement and the Great Wrath, HE brought upon them. Some
will turn
back to YHVH.
But, many, who will become YHVH'S enemies, because they refuse
to learn
from HIS chastisement and the Great Wrath HE brought upon
them, shall flee
to the "darkness"
under the rocks and mountains of earthly men's (the
devastated) governments, and/or into the "darkness"
of Satan's spurious
government as they arrive in the sight of earthly flesh men.
"there may be
darkness over the land",
"even darkness
which may be felt"
(Exodus 10)
Nahum 1:
9 What do ye imagine against the LORD? he will make an utter
end: affliction
shall not rise up the second time.
"What do ye imagine
against the LORD?"
"he will make an
utter end"
"affliction shall
not rise up the second time".
This time of HIS GREAT Wrath, which is during the time of the
"seven
thunders", shall
not occur in quite the same way ever again.
There shall never again be such devastation to the earthly
flesh people and
their governments.
There shall never again be such physical wars.
This time of affliction to earthly flesh men and their
governments, as the
whole world fights against each other, will never occur in the
same manner
again after YHVH'S Wrath is brought forth in the "seven
thunders".
Mark 13:8
8 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against
kingdom: and
there shall be earthquakes in divers places, and there shall
be famines and
troubles: these are the beginnings of sorrows. (KJV)
{When Satan's fallen angels arrive in the sight of earthly
flesh men, and "set
up" the 'one world' 'spurious' government, it shall be a
time of spiritual war
between YHVH (as HE uses HIS servants to bring forth HIS HOLY
WORD of
Truth by way of HIS HOLY SPIRIT) and Satan (as he uses his
fallen angels, his
servants who are of the earthly flesh, and all the deceived
people).}
Nahum 1:
10 For while they be folden together as thorns, and while they
are drunken
as drunkards, they shall be devoured as stubble fully dry.
These who do become so spiritually dry, shall be easily
devoured by Satan's
fallen angels as they come to "save" the world, disguised
as 'God's host of
angels'.
We remember the parable YAHSHUA gave unto us:
Mark 4:13-20
13 And he said unto them, Know ye not this parable? and how
then will ye
know all parables?
14 The sower soweth the word.
15 And these are they by the way side, where the word is sown;
but when
they have heard, Satan cometh immediately, and taketh away the
word that
was sown in their hearts.
16 And these are they likewise which are sown on stony ground;
who, when
they have heard the word, immediately receive it with
gladness;
17 And have no root in themselves, and so endure but for a
time: afterward,
when affliction or persecution ariseth for the word's sake,
immediately they
are offended.
18 And these are they which are sown among thorns; such as
hear the word,
19 And the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of
riches, and the lusts
of other things entering in, choke the word, and it becometh
unfruitful.
20 And these are they which are sown on good ground; such as
hear the
word, and receive it, and bring forth fruit, some thirtyfold,
some sixty, and
some an hundred. (KJV)
