ZION Series I – Countdown

JUN 29 – DAY 40

PATHFINDER SEED

God has been stirring in my heart for several years to dig into His Word and write. The Genesis 15 Covenant rocked me inside. Poetry became my way to explore and learn from The Lord. On May 22, 2020 I got a ‘DO IT’ instruction, so clear that everything I had explored and written in the past 7 years supported an immediate yes. It was confirmed on May 31, 2020 along with clarity on the name Red Thread Poets. 

Acts 8:8 KJVS ‘And there was great joy in that city’.

DOUBLE SEVEN

The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.  The Lord looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, and seek God.  They are all gone aside, they are all together become filthy: there is none that doeth good, no, not one. Psalm 14:1-3 KJVS

JUL 7 – DAY 32

בְּרֵאשִׁ֖ית … ‘in the beginning’

Genesis one one, the first Word from the Hebrew aleph-bet:

בְּרֵאשִׁ֖ית … bĕrēʾšît – pronounced … bere-sheet

‘in the beginning’ … says it all within that six-letter word. Looking at the meaning from deep within the Hebrew, ‘we get something along the lines of’ (see the white image on the left)  … imagine … in the first six-letter Hebrew word in the Bible!

In the beginning [בְּרֵאשִׁ֖ית – bĕrēʾšît] God created the heaven and the earth. Ref: Genesis 1:1

 All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and ???? ?? ??? ???????? ?? ??????????????: that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting men’s sins against them.

[14] Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so : thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire.  [15] Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee.  [16] By the multitude of thy merchandise they have filled the midst of thee with violence, and thou hast sinned: therefore I will cast thee as profane out of the mountain of God: and I will destroy thee, O covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire.  [17] Thine heart was lifted up because of thy beauty, thou hast corrupted thy wisdom by reason of thy brightness: I will cast thee to the ground, I will lay thee before kings, that they may behold thee.  [18] Thou hast defiled thy sanctuaries by the multitude of thine iniquities, by the iniquity of thy traffick; therefore will I bring forth a fire from the midst of thee, it shall devour thee, and I will bring thee to ashes upon the earth in the sight of all them that behold thee.

AUG 3 – DAY 5

REDEMPTION

[11] But Christ being come an high priest of good things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this building;  [12] Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us.  [13] For if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth to the purifying of the flesh:  [14] How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?  [15] And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance.  [16] For where a testament is, there must also of necessity be the death of the testator.  [17] For a testament is of force after men are dead: otherwise it is of no strength at all while the testator liveth.  [18] Whereupon neither the first testament was dedicated without blood.  [19] For when Moses had spoken every precept to all the people according to the law, he took the blood of calves and of goats, with water, and scarlet wool, and hyssop, and sprinkled both the book, and all the people,  [20] Saying, This is the blood of the testament which God hath enjoined unto you.  [21] Moreover he sprinkled with blood both the tabernacle, and all the vessels of the ministry.  [22] And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission.  [23] It was therefore necessary that the patterns of things in the heavens should be purified with these; but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these.  Hebrews 9:11-28 KJVS

AUG 5 – DAY 3

MC5 is my dear brother and friend – he has a pen name for me too!

And of Course, in my optimism – I was forging ahead – but a website build is a big deal. IT WOULD NOT BE READY FOR AUGUST 8TH

Then I understood – it was never going to be ready – I wasn’t meant to know that – Dan the web builder knew that. I wrote this to him on August 5th:

One step at a time. The Lord just made it clear that August 8 is the Launch of a series of posts on Zion – that I have to do, Acts 8:8: “And there was great joy in that city” …  So that is what the countdown is – I wasn’t to know that till today.WOW WOW WOW  Not the launch of the website. That has been a test of our faith, Brother, so Bless you for your faithfulness.

——

AUG 6 – DAY 2

UPDATE August 6, 2020 – I (peterwill) underestimated the amount of input required to enable the website to be built – it is under-way but will be awhile.  However the Launch has evolved into a Launch of Zion.   The 40 Day ‘Countdown’ that ends on Friday August 7th, has set the stage for launching Zion on August 8 – which will clearly explain the Goal of Our Founder – which I am only now catching up to.  The Launch Verse from Acts Chapter 8 verse 8 NOW makes so much more sense. It’s for the City of ZION:

‘So there was great joy in that city’. Acts 8:8 NIV

LAUNCH DAY RE ZION AUGUST 8, 2020     WATCH THE ‘Count Up’ daily verses which will lead up to the LAUNCH OF OUR WEBSITE: www.redthreadpoets.com

Do listen to Robin Mark with his amazing lyrics that – point directly to Zion – this has been on my heart for years – and especially the last weeks and months – I will enfold that in the coming days: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f4HeIXYqaSs

[1] Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity![2] It is like the precious ointment upon the head, that ran down upon the beard, even Aaron’s beard: that went down to the skirts of his garments;[3] As the dew of Hermon, and as the dew that descended upon the mountains of Zion: for there the Lord commanded the blessing, even life for evermore. Psalm 133:1-3 KJVS

——

AUG 8 – DAY ZERO

LAUNCH DAY – LIFT OFF – JOY

[8] And there was great joy in that city.  Acts 8:8 KJVS

[13] And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner.  [14] I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other: for every one that exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.  Luke 18:13-14 KJVS

This 40 Day Countdown has been a beautiful gift from Our Triune God, who amazes me every day – I hope if you have not picked up a pen before and written a poem, or the lyrics to a song, that you take that bold step, asking for guidance as you do.   Blessings as you go.   philos
