Wake up, you sleepyhead city! Wake up, you sleepyhead people! King-Glory is ready to enter. Psalms 24:7 The Message
Lift up your heads, O gates, and be lifted up, O ancient doors, that the King of glory may come in! Psalms 24:7 NAS
Shabbat shalom dearly beloved:
What is it that causes REVIVAL to happen? And what is REVIVAL? A true REVIVAL?
Sometimes revivals are called AWAKENINGS, sometimes they are called DIVINE VISITATIONS but there is one thing common to all; Once revival happens, the people, the city and sometimes a region, an ethnic group or an entire nation is transformed. People REPENT. Pornographic shops are shut down. Disco bars are shut down. Drug lords are converted and/or arrested. Jails may close down. Peace and prosperity comes to an entire area. It is easy to seek The Lord and easy to find Him. The impact of true revivals are never within the four walls of a church only but rather it affects the OUTSIDE of the church. It affects the city, the region and even the nation. In this Global World I am expecting entire continents to be affected, impacted and transformed by the coming REVIVAL!
In my previous issues I have spoken about REPENTANCE-TESHUVA-RETURN as a KEY for all revivals. In this issue I will speak about the PERFECT MATCH that brings about revival; The joining, raising and opening of both; the GATES and of the ANCIENT DOORS.
The outcome of this powerful occurrence is that the King of Glory comes in. When He comes in, the devil goes out! Peoples and nations are never the same again! The King of Glory brings with Him a Baptism of Glory to the people and to the city, region or nation. We want the King of Glory to come in but how does that happen?
YHVH tells us in His everlasting word that there are mysteries for us to discover and I am about to disclose a mystery that unfolds the most powerful KEY for REVIVAL!
The Mystery of the OPEN DOOR that no man can shut.
It is the glory of God to conceal a matter, but the glory of kings is to search out a matter. Proverbs 25:2
Elohim-God does not give us all revelation on a “silver platter”. His revelation is so valuable, (more than diamonds and jade,) that He does not give it to “common people”. His revelation is only given to kings that search Him for it. Common people only care about their own little lives. They are very self centered but KINGS care about Kingdom Matters. They care about advancing Yah’s (God’s) Kingdom. So those that will receive this revelation in this Shabbat Letter are required to have a Kingdom Mentality. Kings rule and change the world. Common people are caught in circumstances they cannot or do not want to change.
He said that on “the rock of revelation” He will build His Ecclesia (church) and the Gates of hell will not prevail against it!
And Y’shua said to him, "Blessed are you, Simon Barjona, because flesh and blood did not reveal this to you, but My Father who is in heaven. "I also say to you that you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build My church; and the gates of Hades will not overpower it. Matthew 16:17,18
When The Master said this to Peter, He was looking for KINGS. His previous questions where: “What do men say I am? And then to Peter: “Who do YOU say I am?”
He was looking for someone that has been looking into the mysteries, into the concealed matters to find out who He was. He found Simon-Peter to be of a Kingly Quality. He was concerned about TRUTH and about Kingdom Matters. That is why He was blessed, because YHVH opened before Him the most amazing mystery at the time. Y’shua from Nazareth was the long awaited Messiah!
In Psalms 24:7 we are given a KEY for REVIVAL for the King of Glory to come in and flood a region. It speaks of GATES and DOORS. Only when we know what they are we will have unraveled the mystery of the King of Glory coming in and VISITING. Psalms 24 starts with verse 1:
The earth is the LORD'S, and all it contains, the world, and those who dwell in it.
The first thing that we need to know before REVIVAL happens is that YHVH owns this earth and ALL the people in it. Satan is a thief, a killer and a destroyer. He has been completely defeated at the Cross on Golgotha, in Jerusalem 2000 years ago, (really before the foundation of the world!). You and I are left down here to “collect the spoils” and to get this earth back to God! When I say EARTH, it includes LAND and PEOPLE. YHVH wants to sanctify both ADAM, (HUMANKIND,) and ADAMA, (LAND,) from which ADAM is fashioned. He is the business of restoration. He will rule and reign on this earth for 1000 years and He wants it ready for His REIGN!
The first earth that He wants ready is ISRAEL both the People and the Land. All the Middle East conflict is about that. He wants His People and His Land back, and the nations are kind of bothering Him but He is laughing because He always wins!
“He who sits in the heavens shall laugh; The Lord shall hold them in derision. Then He shall speak to them in His wrath, and distress them in His deep displeasure: “Yet I have set My King on My holy hill of Zion.” Psalms 2:4-6
He also wants EVERY nation and people group back. He wants the GATES and the DOORS open for Him, the King of Glory to come in!
Who are the Gates and who are the Ancient Doors?
Lift up your heads, O gates, and be lifted up, O ancient doors, that the King of glory may come in! Psalms 24:7 NAS
First these gates have HEADS! The Psalmist here admonishes these “gates” to lift up their “heads”. So these particular gates are alive and they have heads that can move. The only Living Gates that I know that have moving heads are PEOPLE. That is always why Yah (God) uses PEOPLE to be gateways for REVIVAL. Let me give you an example: CORNELIUS
About the ninth hour of the day he saw clearly in a vision an angel of God coming in and saying to him, “Cornelius!” And when he observed him, he was afraid, and said, “What is it, lord?” So he said to him, “Your prayers and your alms have come up for a memorial before God. Acts 10:3-5
Cornelius had used what I called “THE KEY OF ABRAHAM” (Genesis 12:3), he both gave alms and prayed for the Jewish People. This caused Elohim to “come to attention” He sent Him an angelic visitation that caused Peter to arrive, to preach the Gospel and REVIVAL happened among the Gentiles in Caesarea. Cornelius was the human gate to open the Gospel to the Gentiles for the first time in history. Through Him now millions of Gentiles would receive hope, haleluYah!!! The location for this visitation is also very important; the location was Caesarea Maritima; The Royal Port and Capital of the Roman Empire in the Land of Israel. A “gateway”, an important ENTRY point to the country, a Royal Door! An Ancient Door established by the Creator Himself when He founded the earth!
The earth is the LORD’s, and all its fullness, the world and those who dwell therein. For He has founded it upon the seas, and established it upon the waters. Psalms 24:1,2
Since The Almighty has founded the whole earth upon the seas and founded it upon the waters, sea ports, harbors and entry ways are Ancient Doors of entrance into the different countries. In ancient times there were no airports, so the only DOORS into a country were by sea. Since the Psalmist tells us about ANCIENT DOORS we realize that He is not talking about airports but rather SEA PORTS. Those are strategic locations on the earth. Once we possess those strategies locations for the King of Glory it is actually POSSIBLE to get the ENTIRE COUNTRY! I hope that you are getting as excited as I am!
When YHVH sent us by His Spirit to the City of Eilat, we knew that He was “cooking” a REVIVAL, but we did not know the fullness of this mystery. Why is Eilat SO IMPORTANT? Eilat is the South Gate of Israel, that’s why!
It is what we call “at the end of the world”, completely separated from the rest of the country, after crossing the vast Wilderness of Judea, the Dead Sea and the Arava Valley . It used to be the Royal Sea Port of King Solomon, King Uzziah, King Jehoshaphat and it is today the South Port of all of Israel, surrounded by Jordan, Egypt and Saudi Arabia. All major wars have started here when the Egyptians have tried to close the Straits of Tiran and stop all ships from coming into this ANCIENT DOOR-PORT! It is through this Ancient Door that the King of Glory wants to come in and repossess His Land and His People!
Now to the PERFECT MATCH. In order for the King of Glory to come in through a Sea Port location, (in this case my example is Eilat in Israel), it is necessary that the Human Gates would lift up their heads. We have been sent as “Gate Keepers of the South Gate (Eilat)” to open the Ancient Door of Eilat for the King of Glory, Messiah Y’shua to come in! It is very interesting that King Solomon was a type of King of Glory because of the amazing wealth, beauty and glory of his reign. Eilat is not just an Ancient Door but a Royal Ancient Door! It is through here that the wealth of all the nations was brought to Solomon. It is from here that the Queen of Sheba entered and a very special connection with all of Africa happened. From here the loaded caravans of camels carrying jewels, spices, perfumes, animals and slaves made their way to the Royal City of Jerusalem! An Ancient Port and a Royal Ancient Door indeed!
When the right people and the right location matches- we have a recipe for REVIVAL, for the King of Glory to come in! Are you that Human Gate that Yah can use to bring about revival, have you obeyed Him to GO to the right location?
Lift up your heads, O gates, and be lifted up, O ancient doors, that the King of glory may come in! Psalms 24:7 NAS
In Hebrew the word for Ancient Doors is PITCHEI OLAM which means: WORLD OPENINGS or Eternal Openings! Paraphrased it means this:
The place where the whole world can come to meet eternity! The place where all people can receive eternal life! Wow! Now you can understand why Cornelius, the Human Gate for the salvation of the Gentiles had to be From the Royal Sea Port of Caesarea Maritima! This was the World Opening where all Gentiles could meet eternity and receive salvation! Yah (God) always matches HUMAN GATES with LOCATIONS OF ANCIENT DOORS.
There are important activities that those Human Gates and Gate Keepers need to do, such as GIVING and PRAYER. The highest form of prayer is WORSHIP. Help us establish the Worship Center of Eilat for the salvation of the World! Both Israeli tourists and international tourists converge in the Holy City of Eilat, this Royal Ancient Door. Of course it is no mistake that I am talking about Psalms 24 verse 7 since it takes 24/7 Worship and Prayer to keep a Gate of Revival open for the King of Glory to come in! I like how The Message Bible puts it:
“Wake up, you sleepyhead city! Wake up, you sleepyhead people! King-Glory is ready to enter.” Psalms 24:7 The Message
Those who join us on our March Tour Purim 4000 will help us celebrate 60 years to the renewed establishment of Eilat as Israel’s South Port. May the Gate Keepers come, may the intercessors and worshippers come and join us! As you do, The Father will anoint you and equip you to open and to lift up the Ancient Doors in your nation! As usual when you put Israel FIRST, God puts you and your nation FIRST!
“I will bless those who bless you, and I will curse him who curses you; and in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.” Genesis 12
Thank you for helping to lift up our heads through your prayers and your financial giving so we can be an OPEN DOOR for Revival into all of Israel!
Your friends in Israel
Gate Keepers of the South Gate
