IT’S TIME TO MAKE ALIYAH!

The Hebrew word for immigration (aliyah) means ascent or a spiritual going up.

Whether you are Jewish or not - It’s time to make aliyah!

A long, long time ago, in 1984 to be precise! Through my tears and anguish over the loss of my marriage and the dissolution of my family - I was only just learning the pain of divorce, I cried out to God and He said….. ALIYAH!!

What on earth did it mean? I had absolutely no idea! At that time I was searching the Scriptures and Revelation 2 mentioned that overcomers receive a new name only known to themselves, and for many years that is what I believed it to be and mean.

Revelation 2 vs 17 - He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes, I will give some of the hidden manna. I will also give him a white stone with a new name written on it, known only to him who receives it.

I prayed and prayed to meet a Jewish person who could explain a lot of the Scriptures to me and in 2002 my prayers were answered. I met, through organic vegetable farming, my very dear born-again Jewish forever friend. This Princess and daughter of the King taught me so much, but the blessing she brought was The Lord’s Supper Celebration - the knowledge of the key of Sabbath-keeping!

So making aliyah was explained to me.

Nowadays of course all one has to do is…… a google search!!!! It’s all there for anyone to see!

The golden pyramid of the New Jerusalem, as is told, has 12 gates …..

Revelation 21 vs 12 - 14

It had a great, high wall with twelve gates, and with twelve angels at the gates. On the gates were written the names of the twelve tribes of Israel. There were three gates on the east, three on the north, three on the south and three on the west. The wall of the city had twelve foundations and on them were the names of the twelve apostles of the lamb.

Which Jewish name will you bear when you arrive at the gates - and which gate will you be able to enter? Or is the New Jerusalem only for Jews - who incidentally don’t read the New Testament unless they are born-again - gets you thinking now doesn’t it?

Revelation 21 vs 7

He who overcomes will inherit all this, and I will be his God and he will be my son.
