The Pruning Shears and the A team.

Well there were some wonderful messages and visions given yesterday and they were in relation to the building of New Jerusalem and the A team that is starting to come together. People that have a pre-determined, pre-destined job to do to fulfill the divine plan and the will of God for his glory. 


People are being called to align their will with the will of God. 


The letter A in the hebrew alphabet is ALEPH and it became the Greek letter ALPHA, the beginning. In the ancient pictographs the letter is the head of an Ox representing strength and power from the work performed by the Ox.  Jeff Benner states in his Ancient Hebrew Lexicon that it also represents a chief or leader. He wrote "When two oxen are yoked together for pulling a wagon or plow, one is older and more experienced one who leads the other. Within the clan, tribe or family, the chief or father is seen as the elder who is yoked to the others as the leader and teacher."


I asked Abba if he also had a message for me and he did reply. 


Abba gave me a pair of pruning shears and a command. The pruning shears were green. 




Abba said 'Bring the Christians to me'. 


He then gave me another vision of the most amazing Tree of Life and it covered his chosen mountain like a tent. It was extraordinary. 


I then took a look at the bible to see what could be found on the pruning shears. Isaiah 18 mentions them. It states that before the harvest, when the blossom is gone, and the flower becomes a ripening grape, he will cut off the shoots with pruning knives and cut down and take away the spreading branches. In the Aramaic text the chapter states woe to the Ambassadors. 



Studylight share the following with us on the original meaning of the word messenger. 

Ambassador
"In the Old Testament the Hebrew word Tsir , Meaning "one who goes on an errand," is rendered thus (Joshua 9:4Proverbs 13:17Isaiah 18:2Jeremiah 49:14Obadiah 1:1). This is also the rendering of Melits , Meaning "an interpreter," in2 Chronicles 32:31; and of Malak , A "messenger," in 2 Chronicles 35:21Isaiah 30:433:7; Ezek. 17:15. This is the name used by the apostle as designating those who are appointed by God to declare his will (2 Corinthians 5:20;Ephesians 6:20).



The Hebrews on various occasions and for various purposes had recourse to the services of ambassadors, e.g., to contract alliances (Joshua 9:4), to solicit favours (Numbers 20:14), to remonstrate when wrong was done (Judges 11:12), to condole with a young king on the death of his father (2 Samuel 10:2), and to congratulate a king on his accession to the throne (1 Kings 5:1). To do injury to an ambassador was to insult the king who sent him (2 Samuel 10:5)." [2]


It is clear that the role of God's ambassadors is to share with the people the will of God and that is exactly what we do. So in effect, anyone that does not declare the will of God in the here and now, is neither a messenger or an ambassador in the true sense of the word and its origins. They also have to be divinely appointed. That will certainly cut a few branches in the pruning. Next time you come across someone who states they are a messenger, ask them who appointed them and what will of God do they declare. 


There is also a wonderful prophecy in chapter 18 to all of inhabitants of the world. 


"All you inhabitants of the world, and dwellers on the earth, you shall see when the ensign shall be lifted up upon the mountains; and when he blows the trumpet you shall hear". 

You may also remember that there was also a vision given recently of the black faced sheep that was ready to be sheared. I do feel that these messages are connected together. 


'The sheep are ready for shearing'. 'They are ready for the shearer'. [3]



No coincidence then that this posted at exactly 401, there was another thread on 401 software update in August on this blog. Link up all the dots folks! [4]
