The Tide is Rising! We Must Know Who We Are and Whose We Are

“Ezekiel 47 Revelation”


“To explain this revelation, I will need to tell a story.  At the beach last year during my prayer time one morning, I felt the Lord prompt me with a new idea; instead of sitting on the beach chair and then jumping in the ocean to play and refresh like we had been doing each day, I felt excited to walk down the beach, with whoever would go with me, for about 3 miles until we reached a fishing pier we had visited a few days before. My three daughters decided to go with me while the rest of the family would drive to a nearby smaller pier on the bay side of Topsail Island and do some fishing there. They would meet us at the beach and pick us up at the ocean pier at the end of the journey.


All that said, we set out enjoying the sunshine, warm waves, and sand beneath our feet as the Lord ordered our steps. Finally, we made it to the pier which jutted out into the sea. The tide was coming in and I was in awe of what God wanted to show me and my daughters and family.


The picture below shows what the pier from underneath “hidden” looked like – to me, it reminded me of a Tabernacle, a House of God, a long Temple with many pillars set high above the waters; at the end was a post with branches that looked just like a TREE.

 

Oh Lord, this beautiful Story You have written ends where it all began, with the Tree of Life; yet this time You reign over all the waters forever, all the nations, and we who are Yours, are again given access to the Tree of Life. All those who humble themselves under the Mighty Hand of God and the Kingship of Yeshua the Messiah, who is the Tree of Life, will eat from this Tree and drink from this fountain of Living Waters freely and forever. I praise You YaHoVaH God Who is over all the nations and all powers, and all kingdoms and over all authority and principalities. You, Yeshua, reign over all forever and ever.


Yahovah is again building His Tabernacle of David, but this time, with living stones. We are that Tabernacle!

Psalm 29:3 The voice of the Lord is over the waters; the God of glory thunders; The Lord is heard over many waters.

Revelation 17:15 And He says unto me, The waters which you saw,…are peoples, and multitudes, and nations and tongues.

Revelation 22:2-3 In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, ... and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of nations. And there shall be no more curse (tree of knowledge of good and evil is gone forever); but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and His servants shall serve Him.

Blessed are they that do His commandments, that they may have right to the Tree of Life, and may enter in through the gates into the City (Revelation 22:14). 


But this was just the beginning of what YHVH God wanted to show me.  About 4 or 5 months later, I went to a prophetic conference, which I have not done in years.   The inside of the conference building had a sanctuary, hotel rooms and a few shops to peruse.  I was drawn to an Israel shop.  It was the only one like it for the conference was not at all about Israel, although I wish it had been.  Here, I felt at home.  I began to talk with the shop owner of all kinds of things as we both shared some of our experiences in the nation of Israel.  He had visited Israel many more times than I but our love for Israel was the same.  I then went to look at the things he had for sale in his shop and my eyes rested on a beautiful picture of a Bride making her way to the Lion of Judah.  She was in a great white majestic hall, water was poured out across the hall and had made it to her ankles.  She was lifting her wedding dress and walking toward an arch that within stood a great symbol of Yeshua, a beautiful strong Lion whose eyes were riveted on her.  


I knew YHVH God was speaking for the picture reminded me strongly of the pier at the beach.  It looked just like it except with a lot more details and different symbolism.  Yet the water at the ankles was there even as the waters were coming in under the pier and rushed around our feet and then our knees and continued to get higher as the tide came in.  Of course, I bought the picture the next day after praying about it.  I wanted to make sure it was for me.  YHVH God confirmed it was.  He was telling me again that He is coming soon for His Bride and He will rule over all the waters, all the nations, even as He is preparing His Bride.

A month or so later I was looking for a scripture that I can’t remember now.  All I know is what I was searching for was not where God led me that morning.  He led me straight to Ezekiel 47 and said in my spirit, this is the picture I gave you. 


Ezekiel 47: 1-3 says, “Afterward He brought me again unto the door of the House; and behold, waters issued from under the threshold of the house eastward; for the forefront of the house stood toward the east, and the waters came down from under from the right side of the House, at the south side of the altar.  Then He brought me out of the way of the North Gate and led me about the way without to the outer gate by the way that looks eastward; and behold, there ran out waters on the right side.  And the man that had the line in his hand went forth eastward, he measured a thousand cubits, and he brought me through the waters; the waters were to the ankles.”


The next few verses speak of the man measuring out another 1000 cubits (which is about 1500 feet) and the water rising to the knees, and then another measurement, and the waters rising to the waist, and then once again measuring and the waters overflowing and becoming so deep that “I could not pass over, for the waters were risen , waters to swim in, a river that could not be passed over.” 


As I meditated on this passage of Scripture, I knew YHVH God was speaking of His Holy Spirit outpour upon His Bride.  It will be as the days of Noah.  The waters will wash His Bride, yet the waters will drown all wickedness at the same time.  Only those in the ark, in the safety of Yeshua, will survive this Holy outpour.  More than survive, God’s people will be empowered to do YHVH’s will in time of great darkness.

I was overwhelmed by this message.  I felt God speak that the washing will begin with the feet of His Bride.  It reminded me of when Yeshua knelt before His disciples and washed all their feet.  Peter did not want this to be so.  Yet Yeshua said to Peter, If I do not wash your feet, you can have no part with Me.  Of course, Peter essentially responds, then not only my feet but wash all of me.  Jesus says to Peter, only your feet need to be washed.  The rest of you will follow your feet, as your feet follow Me.  (John 13:1-17).


God speaks, “the Bride needs to be cleansed and rededicated to Me”.  Over and over, I hear this same message.  It is time for the Bride to turn and rivet her eyes on Yeshua even as His eyes are upon us.  We must turn away from shallowness, unity with the world’s ways, fear of man’s opinions, apostate teaching that would divide and separate Ruth (Gentile) from Boaz (Jewish),   Deborah (prophetess) from Barak (military commander), God from His Name, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the God of Israel, YHVH, Yeshua, the arm of the Almighty God, the only true God of all the earth.  It is time for the Bride to rise up to do the will of the Father, even as our King is rising up and coming back to us soon to take us Home! 


As I was asking YHVH (Yahovah) for ideas for the cover of this (my first) book, I came across a picture of the Jabbok River, the location where Jacob becomes Israel in Genesis 32.  Through a series of events, the front cover was put together and I saw the same vision for the third time.  The Bride of Yeshua washing her feet in the living water, getting ready to meet Yeshua, the Lion of Judah.  Three is a number of completion.  I hear the vision is true.  This is where we are in time. Like Jacob, the Bride of Yeshua must also understand her lost identity and gain her true identity in Israel and the God of Israel.  This is where Jewish and Gentile believers come together as ONE, and where heaven and earth meet again.”

This story started in the summer of 2020, the year of Covid, cover-ups, and confusion.  Yet Yahovah God was speaking something new, and the revelation continues to unfold today in 2025 and forward.


So What does this means for today? And How is this Connected to the Great Harvest (celebration of Shavuot – wheat harvest)?


A Shadow from 2021 to 2024

Becomes the Reality in 2025 to 2028 – The Great Harvest


Based on this Ezekiel 47 Revelation: our family each year since 2021, during the celebration of Shavuot (Pentecost), have been led to bodies of water, first to the ankles, then to the knees, then to the waist and then to overflow.  We have done this from 2021 to 2024 and now we have started over again in 2025.


For Shavuot (a time of Harvest and Holy Spirit outpour) in 2021, Yahovah brought our family to Preddy Creek Park in Virginia.  We were to find a stream up to the ankles.  Preddy spelled פרד in Hebrew literally means to divide.  I was in awe when I found this out later.


For Shavuot in 2022, we were led to a river in Pennsylvania called the Conestoga River.  Cones Toga  כנס תוגה means solemn assembly in Hebrew.  Again, I found the meaning of the name after we went to the knees in this river.


For Shavuot in 2023, we were led to Feather Lake (a private lake in Culpeper, VA); it came to the waist.  פתר לך means solved for you in Hebrew!


Shavuot 2024,  Yahovah God, Yeshua, our King, led us to the ocean – we went over our heads in the Atlantic at Top Sail Island in South Carolina. את לנתק  the phonetic spelling of Atlantic actually means “You (f) (as in Bride) are disconnected” in Hebrew!


The past few years felt like types and shadows.  Colossians 2:16-17 Don’t let them judge you because you DO these things, celebrate these holy days, including Shavuot (50 days after Passover)… (not because you don’t).  “They are a shadow of things to come; and the substance of them is Messiah.”  The Holy Days, Appointed Times, all point to Yeshua, the Messiah.


This year 2025, we went back to Preddy Park and the water again came to our ankles.  Our feet washed – separated פרדי, (John 13:1-7).  It feels as if the LORD is making the actual separation, where before we walked it out prophetically.  In the physical realm, we are seeing those who stand with Israel, the God of Israel, now and those who are firmly against Israel.  There is a separation, and it has everything to do with the Holy Spirit.


Next year, 2026, the waters rise to our knees.  It is a solemn assembly of believers (Joel 1:14, Joel 2:15-17, Zephaniah 3:18) praying for those who are erring in Spirit (Isaiah 29:23-24) and for the great Harvest of Jew and Gentile believers together, as ONE in Yeshua, John 17, Ephesians 2:11-22, Colossians 1:21-29).


2027 – We will understand so much more as things we did not understand are “solved for you!” I Corinthians 13:12


2028 – this is the Year of overflow (I Thessalonians 4:16-18?), possibly right before the 3.5 year Tribulation, in the middle of the 7-year “Peace” plan.   “You are disconnected.”  Maybe this means disconnected from the discord and wrath to come upon the earth.  His Bride is taken up with Him, Yeshua (Jesus). We wait and see.  The time sure feels close, even as the Peace plan is being worked out right now in July 2025.  Yeshua is coming for His Bride very soon!


For when they say “Peace and Safety” then sudden destruction comes upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.  But you, brothers and sisters, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief.  You are all children of the day; we are not of the night, nor of darkness.  Therefore, let us not sleep, as do others; but Iet us watch and be disciplined “to watch”. Thessalonians 5:3-6.


We must be ready! We must be watching! And we, the Bride, must know our true identity in Israel, and the God of Israel.


 “And David perceived (knew) that the LORD (Yahovah יהוה) had established him king over Israel, and that He had exalted His Kingdom for His people Israel’s sake.”  2 Samuel 5:12


And we must know who and Whose we are as well.  We follow the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.  We love the God of Israel.  We know our Messiah Yeshua and we stand with Israel in the time of Jacob’s trouble.   We are His Bride.


Shalom friends.  We are in very prophetic days! Keep watching!
