DO NOT FEAR THE COMING IRON FIST

On Dec 20, 2020, Ezekiel 20:33-38 leapt out as a rhema word. Do not fear the coming Iron Fist, for it is only to be feared by the Covenant Breakers.

Ezekiel 20:33-38 NLT – 33 As surely as I live, says the Sovereign Lord, I will rule over you with an IRON FIST in great anger and with awesome power. 34 And in anger I will reach out with my strong hand and powerful arm, and I will bring you back from the lands where you are scattered. 35 I will bring you into the wilderness of the nations, and there I will judge you face to face. 36 I will judge you there just as I did your ancestors in the wilderness AFTER BRINGING THEM OUT OF EGYPT, says the Sovereign Lord. 37 I will examine you carefully and HOLD YOU TO THE TERMS OF THE COVENANT. 38 I will purge you of all those who rebel and revolt against me. I will bring them out of the countries where they are in exile, but they will never enter the land of Israel. Then you will know that I am the Lord.

(The entire chapter is worth a slow cud-chewing!)

The date stood out – 12/20/2020 for chapter 20. 12 represents governmental authority. 20 in scripture can represent the age one is allowed to go to war, as well as the cycle of completeness. Jacob finally left the control and manipulation of his pagan Father-in-Law Laban after 20 years, and he stepped into a new season with a new name. From Jacob = the supplanter/ursurper who tried to manipulate his own way into covenant blessings to Israel, who prevails WITH God.
