We are in stage 3 of labor. Now is not the time to loose heart.
We are weak but the Holy One of Israel is Mighty to Save and
is about to work miracles for Ephraim and Manasseh -- the
first born of many brothers.



NOTES:

At 1:30, after sharing some of the terrible ordeals she's been going
through, that scriptures are constantly comparing Ephraim to a
"woman in labor" / "in pain":

Jeremiah 4:31
31 For I have heard a voice as of a woman in travail, and the anguish
as of her that bringeth forth her first child, the voice of the daughter
of Zion, that bewaileth herself, that spreadeth her hands, saying,
Woe is me now! for my soul is wearied because of murderers.

Isaiah 40
28 Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, that the everlasting
God, the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not,
neither is weary? there is no searching of his understanding.
29 He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he
increaseth strength.
30 Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men
shall utterly fall:
31 But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength;
they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and
not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.

Micah 4
8 And thou, O tower of the flock, the strong hold of the daughter
of Zion, unto thee shall it come, even the first dominion; the
kingdom shall come to the daughter of Jerusalem.
9 Now why dost thou cry out aloud? is there no king in thee? is
thy counsellor perished? for pangs have taken thee as a woman
in travail.
10 Be in pain, and labour to bring forth, O daughter of Zion, like
a woman in travail: for now shalt thou go forth out of the city,
and thou shalt dwell in the field, and thou shalt go even to
Babylon; there shalt thou be delivered; there the LORD shall
redeem thee from the hand of thine enemies.
11 Now also many nations are gathered against thee, that say,
Let her be defiled, and let our eye look upon Zion.
12 But they know not the thoughts of the LORD, neither understand
they his counsel: for he shall gather them as the sheaves into the
floor.
13 Arise and thresh, O daughter of Zion: for I will make thine horn
iron, and I will make thy hoofs brass: and thou shalt beat in pieces
many people: and I will consecrate their gain unto the LORD, and
their substance unto the Lord of the whole earth.

Jeremiah 31
18 I have surely heard Ephraim bemoaning himself thus; Thou hast
chastised me, and I was chastised, as a bullock unaccustomed to
the yoke: turn thou me, and I shall be turned; for thou art the LORD
my God.
19 Surely after that I was turned, I repented; and after that I was
instructed, I smote upon my thigh: I was ashamed, yea, even
confounded, because I did bear the reproach of my youth.
20 Is Ephraim my dear son? is he a pleasant child? for since I spake
against him, I do earnestly remember him still: therefore my bowels
are troubled for him; I will surely have mercy upon him, saith the LORD.

9 They shall come with weeping, and with supplications will I lead
them: I will cause them to walk by the rivers of waters in a straight
way, wherein they shall not stumble: for I am a father to Israel, and
Ephraim is my firstborn.

MORE NOTES:

Israel, the woman of Revelation 12, ALL ALONE as
we enter the Tribulation! Dream. LINK

Last night (probably more this morning early on 2/23),
I saw one of my sons "by himself" had waded out into
a lake that was next to a house we used to live in!
NOBODY waded into that lake because there are
alligators in there and the lake is NOT for swimming!

As I thought about it, I believe it was a "type" of the
REAL SITUATION that Israel finds herself in today as the
REALITY hits her (Israel) that they are really ALL ALONE
and surrounded by her many Muslim enemies! During the
extremely violent, deceptive 7 year Tribulation, Israel
will FINALLY be birthed to reality!!!

Revelation 12 LINK speaks of the "state" of most Jews (Israel,
the woman of Revelation 12) at the time of the END! The "child"
(those hopeful Christians watching for their Lord's return) is
SNATCHED UP TO GOD but most ALL of Israel (those who
have for centuries rejected that Jesus was the Messiah) will
remain here and 2/3 will die!

Zechariah 13:8
And it shall come to pass in all the land,” Says the Lord, “That
two-thirds in it shall be cut off and die, But one-third shall
be left in it:

Zechariah 13:9
I will bring one-third through the fire, Will refine them as
silver is refined, And test them as gold is tested. They will call
on My name, And I will answer them. I will say, ‘This is My people’;
And each one will say, ‘The Lord is my God.’ ”

It's EASY to "see", in Revelation 12***, there's a SWAPPING OF PLACES
as the devil / dragon is "CAST DOWN to the Earth" (and his demonic
forces are loosed) AS THE BRIDE GOES UP and the Tribulation begins!!!

Revelation 12
1 And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed
with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a
crown of twelve stars:
2 And she being with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained
to be delivered.
3 And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a GREAT
RED DRAGON, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns
upon his heads.
4 And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and
DID CAST THEM TO THE EARTH: and the dragon stood before the
woman which was ready to be delivered, FOR TO DEVOUR HER
CHILD AS SOON AS IT WAS BORN.

The RAPTURE (as told in Revelation 12:5) is also likened to a
"BIRTH"!!!

***Revelation 12
5 And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations
with a rod of iron: and HER CHILD WAS CAUGHT UP UNTO GOD, and
to his throne. (this being "CAUGHT UP UNTO GOD" is the RAPTURE)

AFTER the rapture in Rev. 12:5, there is WAR involving that angels of God
and particularly Michael (Mars):

7 And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought
against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels,
8 And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven.
9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil,
and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the
earth, and his angels were cast out with him.

The BRIDE OF CHRIST MUST FLEE from the wrath to come!!!
