THE RAIN IS COMING . . .

So often, we cannot wrap our minds around how magnificent The Lord (YHWH) is until we have an encounter. In these awe inspiring moments our faith catapults to release the spirit and to exercise our spirit is to rejoice in these moments! It’s not about being happy but to exalt the Lord with joyful praise. When we are joyful, we rejoice!

Find the door of your heart, you will discover it is the door of the kingdom of God.” Pastor John Chrysostom

When YHWH is doing more than you can ask or imagine, sometimes He keeps you in the dark until He’s ready to show you the bigger picture. So, let’s back up because this message began with a vision called Beyond the Vestibule. Please take the time to read this if you haven’t already…. I pray this powerful message opens to you in the name of Jesus, Amen!

So it was a few days after my initial vision, I was awakened by the Spirit at 3:33 am to hear the Lord say, “Enter the Ark, the rain is coming” [three is significant because it’s the number of perfect completion & fullness] and I felt the nudge to read Zechariah 1:3-4.

In the following days, I felt a question rising about where God was taking us because entering Noah’s Ark [tevah] is about preserving and building YHWH’s treasures [you]. 

For years, I only read the Bible in English—helpful, since it’s the only language I speak fluently. At first, I stuck with one translation. However, when I realized different versions bring out different layers of meaning, it opened up entirely new levels of understanding.

If we look at the term ark in Hebrew [tevah] it suggests a boxlike craft made to float on water but without a rudder, sail, navigational equipment or service crew. The use of tevah is intended to emphasize that the fate of the occupants is to be determined solely by the will of God and not attributed by any human skill. Genesis 6:13-22

As the Hebrew word tevah lingered within my mind, I began to wonder if it showed up anywhere else in the Bible. It appears two times in just one other story. Pharaoh feared the sheer number of Hebrew slaves in his community and to diminish their numbers he ordered that any Hebrew-born baby boys were to be killed upon birth. To save her son, a Hebrew woman built an Ark: Exodus 2:1-10  Moses was delivered in an ARK, a water-tight basket… a floating box [tevah]. Essentially this was what Noah’s ark was, a floating box full of YHWH’s treasures. There is a very common word for ship in Hebrew, but it was never used to describe what Noah built. 

I find this fascinating because Moses’ story is linked to the flood story. He is a new-Noah figure who would lead God’s people out Egypt, the place where Pharaoh wanted to drown them. In the end, it was Pharaoh who would drown in the Reed Sea (Note: in the Hebrew language it is the Reed Sea, not the Red Sea). Like Noah, Moses spoke with YHWH and brought the Hebrew people to the new, dry, land where they would build an altar and worships YHWH. 

If we break down the Bible to its simplest elements, it’s all about a great rescue… a deliverance from evil and death. There was a constant call for rescue from the wicked of the earth. 

In the spirit of rescue, I got a call at work from my husband who wanted to know why this colorful HALO [aura in Hebrew] surrounded the sun directly above our house. The halo aura ring persisted for more than fifteen minute and felt intentionally Divine! Hallelujah! It’s so exciting when the Lord allows His Kingdom to penetrate earth!

Curious, I began reading about the Hebrew word Aura which has been hijacked & hidden by the enemy, but it’s actually biblical. Thank you Holy Spirit for your divine wisdom. The concept of auras is a subtle fields of energy surrounding a living being. WOW! It’s even a colorful light like in my photos!

While the Bible does not directly mention auras due to its multiple translations but there are passages that allude to radiant or luminous phenomena associated with divine beings or heavenly experiences. This began my framework for exploring the concept of auras from a biblical perspective.

Through out the Book of Revelation, there is rich imagery of radiant light and divine presence that resonate with this concept of auras. Whether it is the glowing presence of angels, the divine light surrounding Yashua, or the luminous depiction of those favored by YHWH, these scriptural passages highlight themes of holiness, spiritual illumination, and divine energy. 

It quickly became clear to me that the presence above my house was a divine being(s) and the manifestation of its power involved radiant and transformative light. To be honest, this was beyond my imagination to realize that this Solar Halo appearance was not only a scientific phenomenon but a spiritual message from YHWH for all of us!

The Bible tells us to look to the heavens for astronomical signs that reveal God’s power and glory.  

“I will show wonders in the heavens and on the earth, blood and fire and billows of smoke. The sun will be turned to darkness and the moon to blood before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord.” (Joel 2:28-31)

It’s very important that we contemplate biblical themes to gain a deeper understanding of the spiritual significance of their rare light and YHWH’s divine presence in our lives. (Revelation 4:5, 22:16, 18:18, 12:1; Hebrews 1:7)

According to the prophet Joel, the appearance of strange astrophysical anomalies with the sun and moon will announce “the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord.” 

The farmer’s almanac states the “ring around the sun or moon means rain or snow is within a day.”  Ha, thank you Lord and you said to enter the ark because the rain was coming! We hear you YHWH! Thank you for the warning…. For what’s coming!

Meaning, God is our refuge, but refuge from what? 

All who take comfort in the refuge of YHWH are His well-protected treasured people. 

He is our refuge from anything that tries to attack us… any kind of storm, physical, emotional, mental… anything that tries to tear us down, be it another human or our own brains. Anyone enslaved is under attack. If you are a slave to another human, a slave to your own dark thoughts, a slave to your finances or your job, then enter His safe tevah/Ark.

YHWH’s ark standing open and a place of refuge for the coming rain!

I urge you to Step through the Vestibule to enter the ARK.

I pray each of you find shelter or makh’seh which means a shelter (literally or figuratively) -- hope, (place of) refuge, shelter, trust for you in the name of Jesus.

For You have been a stronghold for the helpless, a stronghold for the poor in his distress, a refuge [makh’seh] from the storm, a shade from the heat; for the breath of the ruthless is like a rain storm against a wall.  

Like heat in a dry land, You subdue the uproar of foreigners; like heat by the shadow of a cloud, the song of the ruthless is silenced. Isaiah 25:4-6

Shalom,
