INTRODUCTION TO VS 11
The Hebrews Author Speaks of Christ
Heb 10:5 Wherefore when he cometh into the world, he saith, Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, but a body hast thou prepared me:
Heb 10:6 In burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin thou hast had no pleasure.
Heb 10:7 Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of me,) to do thy will, O God.
Heb 10:8 Above when he said, Sacrifice and offering and burnt offerings and offering for sin thou wouldest not, neither hadst pleasure therein; which are offered by the law;
Heb 10:9 Then said he, Lo, I come to do thy will, O God. He taketh away the first, that he may establish the second.
Heb 10:10 By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.
As you can see we who believe on Jesus Christ have been brought into this call to "do thy will, O God".
"We are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ".
Remember Jesus' prayer to the Father:
John 17:17 Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.
John 17:18 As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world.
John 17:19 And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also might be sanctified through the truth.
John 17:20 Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word;
John 17:21 That they all may be one; as thou, Father, [art] in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us:that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.
John 17:22 And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one:
John 17:23 I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me.
As those who are called as the Hezekiah company or "Helped of JAH" and as those who hear the commandment of the King to "be not now negligent: for the LORD has chosen you", you are empowered by the Spirit of Jesus Christ in you to fulfill your call as one chosen and equipped by God Himself. You will indeed have the authority of the King upon you. The prayer of Jesus Christ will be answered in His saints. Will you be part of the answer to His prayer?

I don't have much commentary here. I want the scriptures to speak for themselves. There is so very much said here. I want you to hear from the Spirit of the LORD. All who hear the Father come to Christ. Thereforelisten and believe for we serve the true and living God who does speak to His people. Let's establish that God speaks to His people before we move on.
John 6:44 No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day.
John 6:45 It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God. Every man therefore that hath heard, and hath learned of the Father, cometh unto me.
The word "of" in John 6:45 above:
"OF" G3844 παρά para (par-ah') prep.
1. (properly) near
2. (genitive case) from beside (literally or figuratively)
3. (dative case) at (or in) the vicinity of (objectively or subjectively)
4. (accusative case) to the proximity with (local (especially beyond or opposed to) or causal (on account of))
[a primary preposition]
KJV: above, against, among, at, before, by, contrary to, X friend, from, + give (such things as they), + that (she) had, X his, in, more than, nigh unto, (out) of, past, save, side...by, in the sight of, than, (there-)fore, with. In compounds it retains the same variety of application
I want you to see how Webster and Young translate the verse.
(John 6:45 [Webster]) It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught from God. Every man therefore that hath heard, and hath learned from the Father, cometh to me.
(John 6:45 [YLT]) it is having been written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God; every one therefore who heard from the Father, and learned, cometh to me;
Jesus said He will build His Church on those who Hear from the Father.
Matt 16:15
He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am?
Matt 16:16
And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.
Matt 16:17
And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed [it] unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven.
Matt 16:18
And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.
So we have established by the Word of God that He has chosen men to hear Him. Now, I pray that you mayHear Him as you read the following passages and be bolstered in your faith and calling as the Chosen of God to do His will.
Review 2Chr 29:11
2Chr 29:11 My sons, be not now negligent: for the LORD has chosen you to stand before him, to serve him, and that you should minister to him, and burn incense.
Now hear the the message of God in some of the corresponding New Testament passages below.
Eph 3:20 Now to him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us,
Phil 2:12
Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.
Phil 2:13
For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of [his] good pleasure.
Phil 2:14
Do all things without murmurings and disputings:
Phil 2:15
That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world;
Phil 2:16
Holding forth the word of life; that I may rejoice in the day of Christ, that I have not run in vain, neither laboured in vain.
Isaiah 66:1 Thus said the LORD, The heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool: where is the house that you build to me? and where is the place of my rest?
Isaiah 66:2 For all those things has my hand made, and all those things have been, said the LORD: but to this man will I look, even to him that is poor and of a contrite spirit, and trembles at my word.
CHOSEN STARTS IN JESUS CHRIST
Mat 12:18 Behold my servant, whom I have chosen; my beloved, in whom my soul is well pleased: I will put my spirit upon him, and he shall shew judgment to the Gentiles.
Mat 12:19 He shall not strive, nor cry; neither shall any man hear his voice in the streets.
Mat 12:20 A bruised reed shall he not break, and smoking flax shall he not quench, till he send forth judgment unto victory.
Mat 12:21 And in his name shall the Gentiles trust.
Hear the Word of Jesus Christ
John 15:16 Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.
RETURN TO THE OLD PATHS
WHAT DO YOU NEED TO BEAR FRUIT? TO BE HELPED OF JAH!
1Co 1:18 For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.
1Co 1:19 For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.
1Co 1:20 Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world?
1Co 1:21 For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe.
1Co 1:22 For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom:
1Co 1:23 But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks foolishness;
1Co 1:24 But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God.
1Co 1:25 Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men.
1Co 1:26 For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called:
1Co 1:27 But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty;
1Co 1:28 And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are:
1Co 1:29 That no flesh should glory in his presence.
1Co 1:30 But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption:
1Co 1:31 That, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.
Listen - The God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ has chosen us . . .
Eph 1:3 Blessed [be] the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly [places] in Christ:
Eph 1:4 According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:
Eph 1:5 Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will,
Eph 1:6 To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved.
Eph 1:7 In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;
Eph 1:8 Wherein he hath abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence;
Eph 1:9 Having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself:
Eph 1:10 That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him:
Eph 1:11 In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will:
Eph 1:12 That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ.
Eph 1:13 In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,
Eph 1:14 Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory.

The Brook Of Kidron
Introduction
2Chr 29:15 And they gathered their brethren, and sanctified themselves, and came, according to the commandment of the king, by the words of the LORD, to cleanse the house of the LORD.
2Chr 29:16 And the priests went into the inner part of the house of the LORD, to cleanse [it], and brought out all the uncleanness that they found in the temple of the LORD into the court of the house of the LORD. And the Levites took [it], to carry [it] out abroad into the brook Kidron.
Through the events of the reign of Hezekiah, God has spoken a powerful prophetic message, and a powerful message of instruction, calling, encouragement and impartation of faith in that we have a divine duty for which we indeed have been and or are being equipped to perform.
As we progress through this record of the reign of Hezekiah we will see this to be true. I encourage everyone to read this record straight through and see for your self the birds eye view so that as we continue in this journey you will have fresh understanding to refer to in your own mind as we expand and expound on the details of the message being given.
What is this duty? It is shown in Hezekiah's reaction to the desolate state of temple worship and the consequences of that in the lives of all in the land, which he was so grieved to have observed.
We have seen Hezekiah's initial reaction which was to honestly and forthrightly communicate boldly the exact nature of things which he observed and immediately set about the task of restoration to divine order according to the way things were done By King David in the years of old; "A Return to the old paths"; seen in his repairing the doors of the temple; seen in his immediate call for the priests and levites to return to worship and service as prescribed by God.
We are going to need to be aware of our kingly authority in order to address and speak to the desolate state of the Church in our time. We need to be aware of the divine call upon us as we call our brothers and sisters into their eternal destiny in this last hour. We can no longer afford to shrink back. A full understanding of the message of God to us through Hezekiah is essential to our spiritual effectiveness, our divine internal posture and even our own spiritual survival in these last days.
There is so much hitting me in these two verses that I am finding it a challenge to get it organized so it's deliverable and understandable. Man says give it to us in bite sized pieces, but God says, "TELL THEM WHAT I AM SAYING". That's what I am trying to do here and I must depend on the ability of God to bring the understanding.
The Spirit of the LORD will be there for those who have ears to hear.
The first two things I need to show is the Spirit behind these two verses. We might want to call them simply Revival and Repentance.
The way the Lord showed me the Spirit of these two verses is to "take in" two passages of scripture.By "take in" I mean "Selah" or really consider the essence of. These two passages very powerfully reveal the Spirit of 2 Chronicles 29:15&16. Let's read the two verses of 2 CHronicles 15&16 again and then let's read Matthew 3 and Psalm 25 and observe the Spirit of these two verses.
2Chr 29:15 And they gathered their brethren, and sanctified themselves, and came, according to the commandment of the king, by the words of the LORD, to cleanse the house of the LORD.
Matthew 3 shows the Spirit behind what was going on here in verse 15.
Matt 3:1 In those days came John the Baptist, preaching in the wilderness of Judaea,
Matt 3:2 And saying, Repent ye: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
Matt 3:3 For this is he that was spoken of by the prophet Esaias, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.
Matt 3:4 And the same John had his raiment of camel’s hair, and a leathern girdle about his loins; and his meat was locusts and wild honey.
Matt 3:5 Then went out to him Jerusalem, and all Judaea, and all the region round about Jordan,
Matt 3:6 And were baptized of him in Jordan, confessing their sins.
Matt 3:7 But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees come to his baptism, he said unto them, O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come?
Matt 3:8 Bring forth therefore fruits meet for repentance:
Matt 3:9 And think not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to [our] father: for I say unto you, that God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham.
Matt 3:10 And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees: therefore every tree which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
Matt 3:11 I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and [with] fire:
Matt 3:12 Whose fan [is] in his hand, and he will throughly purge his floor, and gather his wheat into the garner; but he will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.
Matt 3:13 Then cometh Jesus from Galilee to Jordan unto John, to be baptized of him.
Matt 3:14 But John forbad him, saying, I have need to be baptized of thee, and comest thou to me?
Matt 3:15 And Jesus answering said unto him, Suffer [it to be so] now: for thus it becometh us to fulfil all righteousness. Then he suffered him.
Matt 3:16 And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him:
Matt 3:17 And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.
2Chr 29:16 And the priests went into the inner part of the house of the LORD, to cleanse [it], and brought out all the uncleanness that they found in the temple of the LORD into the court of the house of the LORD. And the Levites took [it], to carry [it] out abroad into the brook Kidron.
Psalm 25 shows the Spirit of what was going here on in verse 16
Ps 25:1 { [A Psalm] of David. } Unto thee, O LORD, do I lift up my soul.
Ps 25:2 O my God, I trust in thee: let me not be ashamed, let not mine enemies triumph over me.
Ps 25:3 Yea, let none that wait on thee be ashamed: let them be ashamed which transgress without cause.
Ps 25:4 Shew me thy ways, O LORD; teach me thy paths.
Ps 25:5 Lead me in thy truth, and teach me: for thou [art] the God of my salvation; on thee do I wait all the day.
Ps 25:6 Remember, O LORD, thy tender mercies and thy lovingkindnesses; for they [have been] ever of old.
Ps 25:7 Remember not the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions: according to thy mercy remember thou me for thy goodness’ sake, O LORD.
Ps 25: Good and upright [is] the LORD: therefore will he teach sinners in the way.
Ps 25:9 The meek will he guide in judgment: and the meek will he teach his way.
Ps 25:10 All the paths of the LORD [are] mercy and truth unto such as keep his covenant and his testimonies.
Ps 25:11 For thy name’s sake, O LORD, pardon mine iniquity; for it [is] great.
Ps 25:12 What man [is] he that feareth the LORD? him shall he teach in the way [that] he shall choose.
Ps 25:13 His soul shall dwell at ease; and his seed shall inherit the earth.
Ps 25:14 The secret of the LORD [is] with them that fear him; and he will shew them his covenant.
Ps 25:15 Mine eyes [are] ever toward the LORD; for he shall pluck my feet out of the net.
Ps 25:16 Turn thee unto me, and have mercy upon me; for I [am] desolate and afflicted.
Ps 25:17 The troubles of my heart are enlarged: [O] bring thou me out of my distresses.
Ps 25:18 Look upon mine affliction and my pain; and forgive all my sins.
Ps 25:19 Consider mine enemies; for they are many; and they hate me with cruel hatred.
Ps 25:20 O keep my soul, and deliver me: let me not be ashamed; for I put my trust in thee.
Ps 25:21 Let integrity and uprightness preserve me; for I wait on thee.
Ps 25:22 Redeem Israel, O God, out of all his troubles.
There are three levels of Revival and two levels of Repentance observable in this account of Hezekiah. I hope we can see this as we continue on.
If you are reading this, you are called to the first level of revival which is, to be a Hezekiah to the destitute house of God.
The second level of revival is seen in the response of those to whom "The Commandment Of The King" is brought. Those who are backslidden, disobedient or inactive leaders in the destitute house of God. (leaders according to God, not man)
The third level of revival is in the general congregation and moving out to the surrounding communities. The three levels of Revival are revealed as things unfold over the first three chapters of this 2 Chronicles account of Hezekiah's reign.
In this segment however we are looking at two verses, 15 and 16 of 2 Chronicles chapter 29, so we will focus more on the repentance and some other points found in those two verses.
It is important not to limit our call, our preaching and our reaching to the destitute church. With the Authority and call upon us, we are called to take the Word to all. From the back alleys to the pulpit. Let's not confuse the three levels of revival with our call to preach to everyone, everywhere. You will find that the homeless guy may be among the first level of revival. You never know who is behind the face. They may be destined to do mighty exploits in the Lord. Remember Paul's words by the Holy Spirit in 1 Corinthians 1 27 - 3.
1Co 1:27 But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty;
1Co 1:28 And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are:
1Co 1:29 That no flesh should glory in his presence.
1Co 1:30 But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption:
1Co 1:31 That, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.
These levels are for observation, not for method and not for us to force to happen. They are to be expected as observed, they are not a method or a rule. Jesus Christ builds HIS Church. HE has the blueprint. We simply need to do our part. We will recognize the building as it comes together.
The first level a repentance is for those to whom "The Commandment Of The King" is brought, to respond to their call. (IE: bringing the filthiness out of the temple)
The second level of repentance is purely a move of God upon the hearts of those who hear the call and respond. The second level of repentance is shown in the brook of Kidron. As we continue, I hope we can see these things clearly by the Spirit of the Lord. (IE: bringing the filthiness to the Brook of Kidron / filthiness being carried away by a power other than ourselves; By Jesus Christ)
2Chr 29:15 And they gathered their brethren, and sanctified themselves, and came, according to thecommandment of the king, by the words of the LORD, to cleanse the house of the LORD.
...And they "gathered" their "brothers",
Who are your brothers and sisters? Those who have ears to hear. Where are they? In the crowd. Picture a crowd. See your self speaking into that crowd, the call of the Lord. The ones who respond are the ones who have ears to hear, they are your brothers and sisters.
Romans 10:13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
Romans 10:14 How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?
Romans 10:15 And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!
Romans 10:16 But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Esaias saith, Lord, who hath believed our report?
Romans 10:17 So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
Someone needs to be telling it. Speak it, write it, bring it.
177. Prophecy given to Raymond Aguilera on 30 July 1992 at 1:11 AM.
Seed why? Why? The things that I tell you. You don't do them. Why My Seed? I want you to get up and I want you to do what I tell you with all of your heart. I want you to look for your brothers and sisters. I want you to inform them the manners of God, the Son Jesus, the Father, and the Holy Spirit. For what I say is the truth and I don't Lie. For all that is from God is the straight and correct manner, but I want you to go and look for your brothers and sisters that do not know Me and show them the Word of God.

...according to the commandment of the king
Jesus Christ is the King of Kings, He is the word of God. Even as Hezekiah, the King who was strengthened of Jah, so we have a duty, a kingly duty to gather together our brothers and our sisters who are backslidden or who have not heard the proper call from the authority of the king, which king we are if we do not shrink back.

2Chr 29:16 And the priests went into the inner part of the house of the LORD, to cleanse it, and brought out all the uncleanness that they found in the temple of the LORD into the court of the house of the LORD. And the Levites took it, to carry it out abroad into the brook Kidron.
The first level of repentance is shown here as "the priests went into the inner part of the house of the LORD, to cleanse it, and brought out all the uncleanness that they found in the temple of the LORD into the court of the house of the LORD". The second level of repentance is shown as "the Levites took it, to carry it out abroad into the brook Kidron". We all need to bring our filthiness to Christ.
The Brook of Kidron, carried away the filth. It is a power greater than and other than man, other than the Priests and Levites. The Brook of Kidron represents a deep cleansing repentance, that can be brought on by none other than Jesus Christ Himself.
Jesus Christ the Rock and the Water
Let us take a look briefly at JESUS CHRIST the "ROCK" and JESUS CHRIST the LIFE giving and cleansing "WATER".
SMITE THE ROCK / WATER COMES FORTH
Exo 17:6 Behold, I will stand before thee there upon the rock in Horeb; and thou shalt smite the rock, and there shall come water out of it, that the people may drink. And Moses did so in the sight of the elders of Israel.
Num 20:8 Take the rod, and gather thou the assembly together, thou, and Aaron thy brother, and speak ye unto the rock before their eyes; and it shall give forth his water, and thou shalt bring forth to them water out of the rock: so thou shalt give the congregation and their beasts drink.
ROCK SPLIT / CLAVE
Ps 78:15 He clave the rocks in the wilderness, and gave them drink as out of the great depths.
Ps 78:16 He brought streams also out of the rock, and caused waters to run down like rivers.
Isaiah 48:21 And they thirsted not when he led them through the deserts: he caused the waters to flow out of the rock for them: he clave the rock also, and the waters gushed out.
FLINT
Deu 8:15 Who led thee through that great and terrible wilderness, wherein were fiery serpents, and scorpions, and drought, where there was no water; who brought thee forth water out of the rock of flint;
Isa 50:6 I gave my back to the smiters, and my cheeks to them that plucked off the hair: I hid not my face from shame and spitting.
Isa 50:7 For the Lord GOD will help me; therefore shall I not be confounded: therefore have I set my face like a flint, and I know that I shall not be ashamed.
WATER CAME FORTH FROM THE SPLIT / CLAVE SIDE OF JESUS CHRIST ON THE CROSS
John 19:32 Then came the soldiers, and brake the legs of the first, and of the other which was crucified with him.
John 19:33 But when they came to Jesus, and saw that he was dead already, they brake not his legs:
John 19:34 But one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side, and forthwith came there out blood and water.
THAT ROCK IN THE WILDERNESS WAS CHRIST
1Co 10:4 And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ.
JESUS CHRIST WILL SPLIT THE ROCK WHEN HE COMES AND HE WILL CLEANSE THE WHOLE EARTH
Zec 14:3 Then shall the LORD go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle.
Zec 14:4 And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west, and there shall be a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south.
THE CLEANSING WORK OF CHRIST
Eph 5:26 That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word,
Eph 5:27 That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.
Jeremiah calls for repentance in the spirit of contrition.
Jeremiah 4:3 For thus saith the LORD to the men of Judah and Jerusalem, Break up your fallow ground, and sow not among thorns.
Now is the time to start doing our part. We must do our part and the LORD will do HIS.
HEAR THE HEZEKIAH CALL
The first level of repentance is shown here as "the priests went into the inner part of the house of the LORD, to cleanse it, and brought out all the uncleanness that they found in the temple of the LORD into the court of the house of the LORD". The second level of repentance is shown as "the Levites took it, to carry it out abroad into the brook Kidron". We all need to bring our filthiness to Christ.
The Brook of Kidron, carried away the filth. It is a power greater than and other than man, other than the Priests and Levites. The Brook of Kidron represents a deep cleansing repentance, that can be brought on by none other than Jesus Christ Himself.

Now is the time to start doing our part. We must do our part and the LORD will do HIS.
HEAR THE HEZEKIAH CALL
A CALL TO THE OLD PATHS
Some reading this are called and are being prepared by God to be among those of the "Hezekiah" company to restore proper worship and to preach a proper gospel after the judgement which God is now bringing forth upon America and the nations. You have been born to this cause and purpose. Some of you know who you are. Some are beginning to know. Get familiar with this account of 2 Chronicles 29-32. It is speaking to you and the time is upon us.
By the commandment of the King and with the commandment of the King you have been appointed to go forth as:
...ONE WHO IS STRENGTHENED BY JEHOVAH; CALLED OF JEHOVAH, WHO WILL RESTORE PROPER WORSHIP ,YES EVEN BIRTHED/BROUGHT FORTH FOR THIS REASON; FOR JEHOVAH HAS REMEMBERED HIS PEOPLE.......AND HIS PLANS FOR THESE LAST DAYS.
1Cor 10:11 Now all these things happened to them for ensamples: and they are written for our admonition, on whom the ends of the world are come.
