On Oct 31, 2021, we had someone new at our table. They were noticing a lot of vaccinated acquaintances and friends were suddenly were having vision troubles and some even going completely blind. It startled me because I had been woken up hearing in the wee hours of that morning, “The Judgment of the Blind Eyes.”
John 9:39 AMP – Then Jesus said, “I came into this world for judgment [to separate those who believe in Me from those who reject Me—to declare judgment on those who CHOOSE to be separated from God], so that the sightless would see, and those who see would become blind.”
I didn’t unpack it further at the time as we were blessed with 3 vanloads worth of free apples and 2 truckloads worth of jars, which kept our home smelling delicious in the midst of the labor of Appling. That whole prophetic act will be for another blogpost.
A couple days ago, a religious clergyman in a chat group was trying to incite the group into taking violent, murderous vigilante justice against the local leaders pushing the vaccine mandates. Scarily, many people who were tired of patiently holding the line and feeling powerless. They were quick to feed upon his demonic wisdom in the name of “supporting justice” and regaining a sense of control in their moment of feeling helpless.
Me being me, I refused to sit silently in the background as a lurker and rebuked the lot of them for thinking they could fight evil with evil, by partnering with the Kingdom of Darkness through offense, bitterness, violence, and murder in order to take down the Luciferian Kingdom of Darkness. That’s foolishness!
Rather, the solution to this war is to release the Kingdom of Heaven by healing the sick (no need for vaccines), cleanse the spiritual lepers (no landing pads for shame, fear, and control upon which the Mass Formation & Hegelian Dialectic psy-ops utilizes to manipulate the masses via media mind programming), raising the dead (eliminate their death rate fear mongering), and cast out devils (now the elite are rendered powerless without the demons controlling them and others through them and the masses no longer have anything in common with the Kingdom of Darkness within them to keep them in prison houses – Isaiah 42 = breaking God’s Laws is what put them into prison houses and pits in the first place).
The justice that Jesus and the Kingdom of Heaven operate out of will always be judgment that leads to mercy. The Pharisees neglected justice, mercy, and faithfulness in their zeal to be the ones to slap others with judgment to make THEMSELVES feel more righteous. (Matt 23:23) If we remember, it was the Pharisees who Jesus also called the Sons of the Devil because they acted just like their father by walking in sin. (John 8:44; 1 Jn 3:8)
Saul, who later turned into the Apostle Paul, was mercilessly persecuting believers in Jesus, causing loss of their livelihoods, his mandates making families homeless, the “political dissidents” being harassed and treated like societal outcasts, and even killed as their mandates were implemented. On the way to Damascus with his legal documents to drag the lot of them away into the Roman version of concentration camps because their beliefs and actions didn’t support HIS narrative or usurpment of true governmental authority, he was BLINDED by Jesus Himself. He THOUGHT he was doing the right thing until he came face to face with the Righteous Judge Himself. He was woken up to the realization he was operating against the very one he declared he supported! (Acts 9)
That face-to-face ENCOUNTER with Jesus Christ left him physically blind but spiritually waking up. 3 days later, one who he had legal documents to destroy was the very one who freely released the Kingdom of Heaven to him and Saul-turned-Paul received his physical sight back. That transformed Paul from a Zealous Pharisee into a Passionate Lover of Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit wrote more books through Paul in the New Testament than any other New Testament writer.
We must guard our hearts against offense of the current “Persecuting Saul’s” because some of them will become our greatest allies and Kingdom net tossers in the future! Failure to SEE what God sees and tolerating a bitter root to grow within could defile you and could rob you of your divine alignments with those that walked away from all defilement into purity. Jesus didn’t ask for our pasts to be pure. He declared, “Neither do I condemn you, now go and sin no more!”
An Old Testament example of this Judgment of the Blind landing is in when Elisha’s servant, Gehazi, was terrified of being surrounded by enemies. Elisha prayed for his spiritual eyes to be opened to see there were more angelic chariots of fire for them than there were of the enemy coming against them. Elisha had the authority to ask the LORD to blind his enemies, which the LORD did. They were led into Samaria surrounded by the Israelites but instead of being slaughtered, Elisha commanded their eyes to be opened and exposed for being in a trap then ordered for them to be fed and sent on their way. The bands of Arameans came no more into the lands of Israel. They had peace until the days of King Benhadad of Syria besieged Israel and caused a GREAT FAMINE in Samaria. (2 Kings 6)
Now to end with one final scripture on blindness that leapt out a fresh way while reading it in a different translation. Isaiah 62 NLT
62 Because I love Zion,
I will not keep still.
Because my heart yearns for Jerusalem,
I cannot remain silent.
I will not stop praying for her
until her righteousness shines like the dawn,
and her salvation blazes like a burning torch.
2 The nations will SEE your righteousness.
World leaders will be BLINDED by your glory.
And you will be given a new name
by the Lord’s own mouth.
3 The Lord will hold you in his hand for all to see—
a splendid crown in the hand of God.
4 Never again will you be called “The Forsaken City”[a]
or “The Desolate Land.”[b]
Your new name will be “The City of God’s Delight”[c]
and “The Bride of God,”[d]
for the Lord delights in you
and will claim you as his bride.
5 Your children will commit themselves to you, O Jerusalem,
just as a young man commits himself to his bride.
Then God will rejoice over you
as a bridegroom rejoices over his bride.
6 O Jerusalem, I have posted watchmen on your walls;
they will pray day and night, continually.
Take no rest, all you who pray to the Lord.
7 Give the Lord no rest until he completes his work,
until he makes Jerusalem the pride of the earth.
8 The Lord has sworn to Jerusalem by his own strength:
“I will never again hand you over to your enemies.
NEVER AGAIN WILL FOREIGN WARRIORS COME AND TAKE AWAY YOUR GRAIN AND NEW WINE.
9 YOU RAISED THE GRAIN, AND YOU WILL EAT IT, PRAISING THE LORD.
Within the courtyards of the Temple,
you yourselves will drink the wine you have pressed.”
10 Go out through the gates!
Prepare the highway for my people to return!
Smooth out the road; pull out the boulders;
raise a flag for all the nations to see.
11 The Lord has sent this message to every land:
“Tell the people of Israel,[e]
‘Look, your Savior is coming.
See, he brings his reward with him as he comes.’”
12 They will be called “The Holy People”
and “The People Redeemed by the Lord.”
And Jerusalem will be known as “The Desirable Place”
and “The City No Longer Forsaken.”
To circle back to a previous blog post on July 13, 2020, about “Forsaken or No Longer Forsaken? You Decide!”, it reveals the strategy to bring about this shift alluded to in Isaiah 62. This process won’t be one of snapping the fingers and viola, suddenly we’re in abundance. No, there will be a PROCESS of turning the ship around from being abandoned and forsaken back to the promise in vs3 and 4 in KJV language – No LONGER will you be forsaken and abandoned. We need to put our shoulders to the plow and not look back, for those who do are unworthy of the Kingdom of Heaven, much like Lot’s wife who became a lifeless, useless lump of salt.
Let this passage help you aim your focus on what is coming down the pipes. Yes, there will be 7 years of dearth hitting the wicked and that in turn will impact us also. Yes, there will be massive death tolls that will overflow the funeral homes and the wicked will be found inside the church building walls also, not merely “out in the world” as the majority of churches have simply become the world inside of a religious box. BUT Isaiah 62 is our promise to anchor to so that we don’t focus on the storm waves trashing others who failed to put down their anchor, that were not moored to the ROCK. It will shred your souls and rob you of precious energy if you focus on them. Keep your focus upon the Rock of your Salvation.
Jesus was able to endure the cross for the HOPE that was set before Him. Much like the pain of labor, a woman is able to endure for hours and sometimes days what would have a man fleeing in the opposite direction in a matter of minutes because she has her eyes focused on the baby she will be holding SHORTLY in her arms. She pushes INTO the pain and flowing WITH the contractions to push her forward in dilation and then birthing instead of clenching tight and fleeing from it.
The 2020’s has been named by many prophets as the decade of fire. Fire comes both to destroy AND to purify. Allow what needs to be destroyed be destroyed and give thanks instead of wallowing in sorrow. When we push into that purifying process, it will take less time and the “pain” can actually be a form of satisfying pleasure, much like when a good hard workout leaves them drenched in sweat, but they actually had FUN in the process. Let your perspective be one of seeing the trials and tribulations before you as opportunities of JOY because you know God has ordered each and every step in your journey to develop your faith to BUILD A TESTIMONY and increase your endurance and character.
Some of us are spiritually starting at developing enough endurance to walk around the block. Others have progressed to running around the block. Still others have developed the endurance to run Iron Man marathons. Don’t compare yourself to others, which can lead to discouragement, but rather REJOICE in how far God has brought YOU and trust He will get you to YOUR level of needed endurance if you simply keep going! The ones that have progressed further along can be mentors to encourage those willing to put in the effort to grow.
