WHEREFORE THOU SIGHEST? FOR THE TIDINGS; BECAUSE IT COMETH
Introduction
The next three blogs give some very important insight into how vitally important the Words of David and the New Wine –given through your gift of prophecy, are going to be in the days ahead. The Word, both written and living, will play an integral part in the Endtime ministry Jesus has for the Children of David. What is exciting about these blogs is that the “message of confirmation” has come through an independent source with no relationship to the COD.

(Lisa) The morning of the 27th of April and the 6th of Sivan in the early barley ripening Jewish calendar, in my early morning Word time, I searched my laptop for a compilation mentioned in class the day before, “Behold it Cometh (PDF).” As you know, when you do a search, many different choices come up, and as usual, the different titles piqued my attention. I can get quite tripped off and want to read them all at once. So this time instead, I copied and pasted the ones that took my notice and put them together on my desktop to read and not forget. As I was reading “Behold it Cometh” the following verse stood out to me (Ezekiel 21:7) because of what we have been sharing in different recent podcasts about “no sign shall be shown except the sign of Jonah.” (Matthew 16:4) The verse in question seemed similar, And it shall be, when they say unto thee, Wherefore sighest thou? that thou shalt answer, For the tidings; because it cometh: and every heart shall melt, and all hands shall be feeble, and every spirit shall faint, and all knees shall be weak as water: behold, it cometh, and shall be brought to pass, saith the Lord GOD.
I looked up that verse and Clarke’s Commentary says that the prophet sighing was a sign unto them. His sighing and mourning showed them how they should act. Then I went to another word doc I had saved on the desktop earlier and it was a section of a post from Christine Beadsworth.
The One God Chooses
Christine Beadsworth: After Korah’s rebellion against the men God had chosen, there was further attack by the spirit of jealousy upon Aaron by leaders who thought they should also be allowed to function as priests. God instructed Moses to bring the rods of the 12 tribes and lay them before the ark overnight and He said something very significant:
Numbers 17:2 …Write every man’s name on his rod. :3 And you shall write Aaron’s name on the rod of Levi [his great-grandfather]. For there shall be one rod for the head of each father’s house. :4 You shall lay them up in the Tent of Meeting before [the ark of] the Testimony, where I meet with you. :5 And the rod of the man whom I choose shall bud,
Aaron’s name was written on the rod of Levi. Levi means ‘to attach’, from a root word meaning ‘united, intertwined, remain, cleave’. Levi’s rod symbolizes those united with the Lord; those who cleave to Him, who are one with Him.
And the rod of the man God chooses shall bud… Beloved, we are living in a time where the spirit of jealousy is rampant. Many believe they should have more prestige, more spiritual authority, more exposure. But, to put it bluntly, there are people God does not choose, even though they have position and may be in leadership. It is those who cleave to God, who remain in His presence and one with Him that are chosen. Every one of those rods was exposed to the power of the glory of God carried in that ark, but only one budded and blossomed and bore fruit overnight. The presence of those blossoms indicated the choice of God.
Numbers 17:8 And the next day Moses went into the Tent of the Testimony, and behold, the rod of Aaron for the house of Levi had sprouted and brought forth buds and produced blossoms and yielded [ripe] almonds.
Aaron’s rod was not rooted in the earth, but in the presence of God. It was completely unattached to the earth, but so connected to the presence of the glory of God that miraculous life and fruitfulness came forth from that which was dead. The glory of the Lord had risen upon that rod, yet the other rods remained dry and dead. It was completely clear who the man God had chosen was. The abundant favour and resurrection power of God had brought forth blossoms and the words of God heard in the Holy of Holies had pollinated and brought forth ripe almonds overnight. In other words, the man God chooses does not function by the timing and seasons earth is bound to. He can bring forth in a supernaturally quick time the fruit of all that has been heard in the secret place of God’s presence.
MB (Lisa): Now this quote is interesting in relation to the Words of David. “In other words, the man God chooses does not function by the timing and seasons earth is bound to.” A lot of David’s prophecies and dreams weren’t bound to bear fruit at the time they were given. We are seeing a lot of them being fulfilled, now. They were like a test. God was going to test His people’s patience and also their faith in His Word. What happened though, was that many people were looking for the signs, miracles and wonders that were promised would come during the Tribulation period. We’d come to believe it would all happen before a few short years had elapsed. But instead, there has been a long period of time between the giving and the fulfillment. And because people were looking for the miracles and not the Word, when the miracles didn’t come, they all left and went back to their various earthly businesses.(end)
See the MB blogs; The Remnant Arising and the almond tree
Christine continues: While I was listening to what the Lord wanted me to share in this post, I saw a vision of a bundle of dry sticks being gathered, bound with a cord and placed in a vase. No water was added to the arrangement. Then the Lord began to breathe and blow over the sticks and suddenly they all burst into blossom, so that I was now looking at a beautiful arrangement of almond blossoms. When the remnant arises and shines in this season ahead, it is not going to be precipitated by anything earthly; no word of man, no event or world news, no sermon, no song. It will be the breath of God, carrying His whispers and imparting resurrection life that produces the impossible. In a time when there is no sign of life elsewhere because a great spiritual winter lies upon the land, the lives of the men and women God chooses will stand out as carriers of the supernatural, authentic resurrection power of God.
MB: I want you to take note of the line, “a bundle of dried sticks.” I was reading these excerpts in the morning of the 27th April and something very significant to that line, which I will tell you about soon, happened the very same afternoon. For now, let’s look at the words “When the remnant arises and shines in this season ahead, it is not going to be precipitated by anything earthly; no word of man, no event or world news, no sermon, no song. It will be the breath of God, carrying His whispers and imparting resurrection life that produces the impossible.” That line goes very much in tune with what we have been sharing in recent blogs about there being no sign given to this final generation but the sign of Jonas. This whole Endtime period is not playing out as we expected. The events are there, yes –but the way they are playing out is somehow not as we pictured. But that is very similar to how events unfolded in the life of Jesus. The disciples expected things to be a certain way and they just didn’t go the way they expected. In many instances, it wasn’t until after the events happened that they realized that Jesus had told them that something or some event was to unfold a certain way, but they just hadn’t had the understanding. It was their carnal mind that was blocking the “seeing” or understanding. They were boxed in. They were, simply put, carnal minded. Now in the above excerpt from Christine, she is saying the same thing that we’ve been saying. The sign is the breath of God. You have to look to the Words of God if you want to know where Endtime events are heading. Don’t look to the news, or a sermon, a song or anything man cooks up. Look to Jesus, the Word.(end)
Christine continues: Beloved watching remnant, you will lead many to righteousness as you arise and shine, resplendent with the glory of God. You know your God because you are rooted and grounded in the secret place of His presence. You are strong because you dwell in the cleft of the Rock that cannot be shaken and you will do exploits for the Kingdom of Light as you live by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God over you. Just like the fire fell on the prepared sacrifice and confirmed that Elijah was God’s servant, thereby disqualifying the prophets of Baal; just like Aaron’s dead rod budded amongst all the other lifeless rods, confirming he was God’s choice, so too, the supernatural power and hand of God will be visibly seen to be with those He chooses in this day.
Remember, the budding and blossoming was the result of abiding in His presence in the night—not striving, or interceding or decreeing, but lying and soaking in the glory light. You cannot manifest glory unless you are imbued with it. That means filled, soaked, saturated. That means TIME spent one on one with the only One who can imbue you with His power. No man can help you. You have to position yourself there. You have to make it a priority. Are you going to forego the bread of man for the words God breathes into you? What will you live by in the days ahead? There is going to be a famine of the debar of God BUT you know where it is sourced and no external circumstance can prevent you positioning yourself there in the spirit.
And this section from the same post you’ve seen before and posted on the blog.
Blossoms Bring Fruit
A blossoming almond tree is a beautiful sight, but, without pollination, there will be no fruit, no matter how much life is in the veins of the branch. And this is where bees come in. The Hebrew word for ‘bee’ is ‘deborah, which comes from a root word ‘debar’, meaning ‘to speak, command, commune, declare’. It is the debar of God which pollinates the blossoms of this almond tree company with revelation knowledge, counsel and wisdom. This is the season to live by every word God speaks, and not by the bread of man.
MB: It’s talking about prophecy here, the New Wine given to the Children of David. I’ve come to look at Christine as a type of marker or perhaps a type of buoy. You see, it isn’t her words that I’m following because what she is saying is, in truth, very old material for us, the Children of David. We know well enough what Dad said forty years ago about the importance of Word time. Christine is simply saying the same thing here, in a little more flowery way, but the same thing. I’m not looking for another source of truth, the Words of David are the truth. If we have gotten familiar with them, then it is our loss. What I believe Jesus is doing here is trying to show us that the time of fulfillment for many of the prophecies of David of the End has arrived. Something very exciting is happening in the spirit, and Jesus is making us privy to it, or is trying to –at least to those who are listening. And what is important is that our gift of prophecy will play a very vital part in the Endtime blossoming almond tree.(end)
