Yesterday, Abba asked for Levin and when I put Levin into youtube this beautiful song came up from Tony Levin.
SHAKING HIS TREE
NEW YEAR OF THE TREES
Abba certainly is shaking his tree. At dawn he said arbor and I did not know that this lunar eclipse fell upon a special annual Jewish holiday called Tu B'hevat = Jewish Arbor Day. One of the customs is to eat a fruit and almonds on this day. Some people plant trees and a lot of Jewish children go around collecting money for planting trees in Israel. It is also being used by environmental organisations to promote environmental awareness.
Arbor Day is celebrated by different nations at different times of the year to promote the caring and planting of trees. However, the Jewish Arbor Day has a very long history.
"The holiday is observed on the fifteenth (tu) of Sh'vat. Scholars believe that Tu BiSh'vat was originally an agricultural festival, marking the emergence of spring. After the destruction of the Temple in 70 A.C.E. this holiday was a way for Jews to symbolically bind themselves to their former homeland by eating foods that could be found in Israel. In the sixteenth and seventeenth century Kabbalists created a ritual for Tu BiSh'vat similar to the Passover seder. Today, Tu BiSh'vat has also become a tree planting festival in Israel, in which both Israelis and Jews around the world plant trees in honor or in memory of a loved one or friend." [i]
VISION OF THE MASSACRE IN JERUSALEM
Prior to leaving for a mission to Israel in 2007, I was given a very powerful vision. I woke up in the vision like being in a film. I was there in Jerusalem and people were running everywhere. Romans were on horses cutting down and slaughtering the people. I looked everywhere for the priests and they were no-where to be found. I kept asking where are the priests, where are the priests. Then the penny dropped they knew that these spiritual people were going to be murdered because they had given the order to the Romans for their murder. However, they did not expect the precious temple would be destroyed in the process. As the saying goes 'what comes around goes around' and it was certainly their karma. I shared this vision with a man in Israel and he informed me that 100,000 people were killed during the destruction of the temple.
This wasn't a pleasant vision to come to terms with and while I was in Israel I shared the vision with another Israeli and he said 'They would do it again". It is disconcerting to know that many orthodox believers of different faiths are prepared to give the order for others to be murdered to protect their own precious belief systems.
A couple of weeks after I returned from Israel a press release was sent out about an archaeological dig in Jerusalem that had found an underground escape route out of Jerusalem. This then confirmed how the priests managed to escape the massacre. [iii]
My conclusion is that there is nothing hidden from God and Jesus was correct all that has been hidden will be disclosed at this time. The truth will be known when Abba deems it so, I have been made aware that there are many records that must be put straight with God. If the Jewish Rabbi's do not ensure this is done very soon Abba will reveal many things to the world and they will not be happy about it.
QUMRAN
The mystics of Qumran began their community at the Dead Sea around 150-100BC and it is no co-incidence that this is around the same time as the priests started to close down the prophet schools where the ancient wisdom was taught. Israel was very much like the new age today; it was a vast array of different spiritual beliefs and many of the major and minor prophets still had their followers. A biblical Hebrew scholar once told me that there were at least 24 different sects in Israel at that time. One thing is for sure the mystics and scribes at Qumran were not Essenes.
Ein Gedi and the Essenes
If you ever go to Ein Gedi, you just can't imagine the serene Essenes living in such an arrid desert area. For people that love to be among the trees Ein Gedi is not the place. Those that did go to Qumran were in hiding from the destruction that they knew was going to come upon the people in Jerusalem. It must have taken them a long time to transport many of the scrolls to Qumran before they left Jerusalem altogether. "In no case was it permanently inhabited, certainly not by an organized communal-type society with a unique social and religious lifestyle such as that which characterized the Essenes. In addition, the exact time of the site's establishment in the Early Roman period post-dates the Essenes. According to the pottery and glass vessels found in the excavations."
TREES - ENYA
TREE OF LIFE
Most people are aware now that the trees and forests are a very important part of the eco-system of the planet and the more they are destroyed the more we destroy human life on Mother earth.
SOPHIA = WISDOM
Blessed is the man who finds wisdom, the man who gains understanding, for she is more profitable than silver and yields better returns than gold. She is more precious than rubies; nothing you desire can compare with her. Long life is in her right hand; in her left hand are riches and honor. Her ways are pleasant ways, and all her paths are peace.
She is a tree of life to those who embrace her; those who lay hold of her will be blessed. By wisdom the LORD laid the earth's foundations, by understanding he set the heavens in place; by his knowledge the deeps were divided, and the clouds let drop the dew. Proverbs 13:20
True wisdom comes from the integration of experience in sacred union with the divine.
THE RAINFOREST PROJECT
GENESIS
Many religious people study scriptures continuously and it can be like an anchor around their feet keeping them attached to the physical realm. The advice in Genesis was very clear if you eat from the Tree of Knowledge of good and evil you will surely die. Here, God was asking us not to eat from the knowledge that teaches duality. We were being asked to live by the Tree of Life experience because then God can lead you in a way that is appropriate for the present and the present is a wonderful gift from God.
Life experience is the sacred text of knowledge and it is the treasure that we have come to share.
God is shaking his tree and no bad fruit will be allowed to remain.
