Divine commentary –

“My servants are familiar with the horoscopes of man,

                       are familiar with the search of man for patterns.

My servants know of those who lay the tarot card,

                                    those who create a séance,

                                    those who create the visual with a story line which fritters away the time of man,

                                    those who seek every opportunity to dip into the pocket,

                                                                                 the wallet or the purse of man:

                                               of all who seek the triviality of a false story of a soul.”

Eze 39:2   "and I will turn you around and lead you on, bringing you up from the far north, and bring you against the mountains of Israel.

Divine commentary –

“My servants are familiar with those known for their spiels,

                      are familiar with the deceptive nature of their fruit,

                      are familiar with the end product of a lie.

My servants hear the knock which should bring dismissal,

                     are aware of the false lines of enquiry,

                                      of each agenda hidden for the moment which surfaces in time.

My servants will not find the humble heart in distractions such as these, 

                             where a promise holds no worth, 

                             where a guarantee does not last past departure of the vocal.”

Eze 39:3   "Then I will knock the bow out of your left hand, and cause the arrows to fall out of your right hand.

Divine commentary –

“My servants can disarm those who carry evil to the forecourts of The Lord,

                                         those who would spread their evil influence within the sphere of man,

                                         those who would seek to impinge on the sacred and the righteous,

                                         those who would encroach upon the life and livelihood of man.

My servants disarm the opposition by the word of God,

                                                         by the blood of God, 

                                                         by the testimony of His servants.”

Eze 39:4   "You shall fall upon the mountains of Israel, you and all your troops and the peoples who are with you; I will give you to birds of prey of every sort and to the beasts of the field to be devoured.

Divine commentary –

“My servants see and do that which is not open to the multitudes,

                                         that which has no meaning within their level of understanding,

                                         that which lasts beyond the grave of man,

                                         that which requires familiarity with a kingdom’s keys,

                                         that which builds without destruction on the landscape of eternity.”

Eze 39:5   "You shall fall on the open field; for I have spoken," says the Lord GOD.

Divine commentary –

“My servants see the end from the beginning,

                       see the fallen and the slain,

                       see the dampness of the line which marks a new beginning for the newly unencumbered.

My servants are extremely buoyant in the presence of success,

                                                          in the presence of a promise which holds the future destiny of man,

                                                          in the presence of their loving God seen to be still shepherding His flock.”

Eze 39:6   "And I will send fire on Magog and on those who live in security in the coastlands. Then they shall know that I am the LORD.

Divine commentary –

“My servants love the word of God,

                       hear the word of God,

                       believe the word of God,

                       live the word of God,

                       practise the word of God,

                       bring the word of God,

                       share the word of God.

  My servants pray with fluency for the word of God to be actioned in the life of man.”
