SCRIPTURE TEXT:

NUMBERS 13

The LORD said to Moses, 2 “Send some men to explore the land of Canaan, which I

am giving to the Israelites. From

each ancestral tribe send one of its

leaders.”

• 3 So at the LORD’s command Moses sent them out from the Desert of Paran. All of them were leaders of the Israelites. 4 These are their names:

Numbers 13

• 17 When Moses sent them to explore

Canaan, he said, “Go up through the Negev and on into the hill country. 18

See

what the land is like and whether

the people who live there are strong

or weak, few or many.19 What kind of

land do they live in? Is it good or bad? What kind of towns do they live in? Are they unwalled or fortified? 20 How is the soil? Is it fertile or poor? Are there trees in it or not? Do your best to bring back some of the fruit of the land.” (It was the season for the first ripe grapes.)

Numbers 13

• 21 So they went up and explored the land

from the Desert of Zin as far as

Rehob, toward Lebo Hamath. 22They

went up through the Negev and came to

Hebron, where Ahiman, Sheshai and Talmai, the descendants of Anak, lived. (Hebron had been built seven years before Zoan in Egypt.)23 When they reached the Valley of Eshkol,[a] they cut off a branch bearing a single cluster of grapes. Two of them carried it on a pole between them, along with some pomegranates and figs. 24 That place was called the Valley of Eshkol because of the cluster of grapes the Israelites cut off there. 25 At the end of forty days they returned from exploring the land.

WORD MEANINGS

EGYPT – MEANS BLACK

Basically, we can examine three groups of names which have applied to Egypt. In the early period of Egypt, during the Old Kingdom, Egypt was referred to as Kemet (Kermit), or simply Kmt , which means the Black land. They called themselves "remetch en Kermet", which means the "People of the Black Land".

CANAAN

Canaan was the name of the fourth son of Ham, the youngest son of Noah, the father of all humanity (Genesis 9:18). This Canaan would give his name to the much coveted country of Canaan and the people who live there. The original Canaanites (an ethically diverse group of people) were displaced by Israel (Deuteronomy 7:1)

THE ROOT OF THE WORD CANAAN(negative and positive meanings)

• כנע

• The root-verb )כנע kana') is generally thought to mean to be humbled, subdued, or brought into subjection, (So it has come to be called as “lowland” – NEGATIVE MEANING

• HOWEVER, more fundamentally, this verb

ACTUALLY MEANS TO RULE, SUBDUE, TO

SUPPRESS, BUT NOT IN A BAD SENSE -DESCRIBES THE PROCESS OF

SYNCHRONICITY; bringing elements from a wild, feral state into a state of common order and mutual benefit (like, say, a trade agreement). State formation depends on synchronicity, but, more fundamentally, so does language or sound formation, as in music – POSITIVE MEANING

Implications:

• Synchronicity demand the abandonment of one's naturally free state, which some thinkers interpret as a wholesale loss of freedom. But in fact, the secondary freedom gained (say: the ability to converse) from this initial loss (giving up growling and howling and having to agree on words) is far greater. This same principle may even explain why a universe which operates by means of the second law of thermodynamics (pursue maximum entropy) is able to produce DNA and cells to run it (greater than maximum entropy).

The Negev

• The Negev (or Negeb) takes its name from the Hebrew neghev, meaning dry. It's located south of Jerusalem and Judea, from which Negev has also taken on the meaning south. Both names are quite appropriate -the Negev is the southernmost area of Israel, and it is most definitely one of the most arid Bible Places.

• The Negev stretches southward from the mountains and lowlands of Judah where the rolling hills terminate abruptly along the desert. The Dead Sea is located to the east, the Mediterranean Sea is to the west, the Sinai is to the southwest.

• THE ONLY WAY TO SURVIVE HERE IS TO

DEPEND AND TO TRUST THE LORD FOR

WATER

All the patriarchs went through the NEGEV

The Negev was the scene of many events of Bible History -• An early caravan route from Israel to Egypt went through

the Negev (Genesis 12:9, 13:1-3, 46:1-6).• It was the territory of the Amalekites during the time

of Abraham (Genesis 14:7)• Both Isaac and Jacob lived for some time in the Negev

(Genesis 24:62, 37:1)• The Israelites wandered in the Negev during the Wilderness

Journey after the Exodus (Numbers 14:44-45)• At the Division Of The Land, the Negev was allotted to the

tribes of Simeon (Joshua 19:1-9) and Judah (Joshua 15:20-31)

• David included the Negev in his kingdom, and when Solomon succeeded his father, he established fortresses in the area.

HEBRON

• חבר

• The root-verb )חבר habar means to join

or team up. Apparently, this verb's

most basic meaning is to bind. Our

verb is used when objects are joined

(Exodus 26:3), or when men join

organizations or events (Genesis 14:3, Psalm 122:3). Once this verb actually denotes casting a spell (Deuteronomy 18:11). This verb yields the following derivatives:

FUNCTIONAL MEANING• The masculine noun )חבר heber), meaning company

(Hosea 6:9), association (Proverbs 21:9), or spell (i.e. a binding; Isaiah 47:9).

• The feminine noun )חברה hebra), meaning association

or company (Job 34:8 only).• The adjective or masculine noun )חברה haber), meaning

united (Judges 20:11), or associate (Song of Solomon 1:7, Isaiah 1:23).

• The feminine noun )חברת haberet), meaning consort,

i.e. wife (Malachi 2:14 only).• The similar feminine noun )חברת hoberet), literally

meaning that what is joined. It occurs only in

relation to the tabernacle curtains (Exodus 26:10).

• The masculine noun )חבר habbar), meaning business

associate (Job 40:30 only).

HEBRON

• The feminine noun )חבורה habbura), also spelled )חברה habbura) and also pronounced as habra, meaning stripe (Psalm 38:5) or blow (Genesis 4:23). To join in another’s suffering, bear one another’s burden

• The feminine noun )חברברה habarbura), meaning stripe or mark (Jeremiah 13:23 only).

• The feminine noun )מחברת mahberet), meaning a thing joined (Exodus 26:4) or place of joining (Exodus 28:27).

• The feminine noun )מחברה mehabbera), meaning binder or clamp (1 Chronicles 22:3, 2 Chronicles 34:11 only).

THAT IS WHY WE ARE ASKING EVERYONE TO DO A WORD FAST

ON I CORINTHIANS 13

EPHESIANS 4:1 As a prisoner for the Lord, then, I urge you to live a life worthy of the calling you have received. 2 Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love. 3 Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace.

I CORINTHIANS 16:13 Be on the alert, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong. 14 Let all that you do be done in love.

NIHOP MUST BE A COMMUNITY OF

LOVING PEOPLE – IN OUR HEART,

SPEECH AND WAYS!!

VERY IMPORTANT!!!:

WHEN DAVID WAS FIRST MADE KING, HE

ESTABLISHED HIS CAPITAL IN HEBRON

FIRST, WHERE HE RULED FOR 7 YEARS.I CHRONICLES 29:26Now David the son of Jesse reigned

over all Israel. 27The period which he reigned over Israel was forty years; he reigned in Hebron seven years and in Jerusalem thirty-three years. 28Then he died in a ripe old age, full of days, riches and honor; and his son Solomon reigned in his place.…

IN HEBRON – HE UNITED THE HOUSES OF

JUDAH AND ISRAEL (THE HOUSES OF

DAVID AND SAUL), AND ONCE

PERFECTLY UNITED, HE MOVED TO

JERUSALEM, WHICH MEANS HOUSE OF

PEACE.

After Hebron is the VALLEY OF ESHCOL

ESHCOL – means “bunch” or “fruits”

VALLEY OF

FRUITS –

Moses said to the spies, “Bring me some of the fruit of the land” (Numbers 13:20)

SO HEAVY (which means GLORY –

CHABOD –weight)

MEANING, UNLESS WE UNITE IN

LOVE FIRST (HEBRON), WE WILL

NOT HARVEST THE FRUITS OF OUR

CALLING AND DESTINY (ESHCOL)!!

THE PHYSICAL JOURNEY DEPICTS A SPRITUAL JOURNEY

LEAVE EGYPT – Egypt means “black” (“death”, darkness)Pass through the WILDERNESS – TRANSITION POINT FROM

FREEDOM TO FULNESSGO TO CANAAN where the Lord will synchronize you and your

life, put everything in order, that you may be blessedBut you will pass through NEGEV FIRST – A PLACE OF DRYNESS

where you will learn to DEPEND ONLY ON HIM FOR YOUR NEEDS AND SATISFACTION

But before you reach there and live there, you must FIRST pass through HEBRON – WHERE YOU WILL LEARN TO BE IN UNITY AND HARMONY WITH THE LORD, HIS LEADER, AND GOD’S PEOPLE,

And then you will experience ESHCOL – where you will see the FRUITS OF UNITY – VICTORY, CONQUEST, POSSESSION OF THE PROMISE

BUT THERE ARE OCCUPANTS OF THE LAND;opposition to the destiny!!!

THE EVIDENCE OF GOD’S PRESENCE(SPOKEN ONE GENERATION

LATER TO JOSHUA)

• "This is how you will know that the living God is among you and that he

will certainly drive out before you

the Canaanites, Hittites, Hivites,

Perizzites, Girgashites, Amorites

and Jebusites." (Joshua 3:10)

Canaanites

• The Canaanites apparently lived along the coast and along the Jordan during Joshua's time. However, the term Canaanite is often used collectively of all the inhabitants of Canaan regardless of racial origin. It is used specifically in Joshua 5:1 to refer to the coastal peoples, "all the Canaanite kings along the coast," as well as those who lived along the Jordan (Numbers 13:29 and Joshua 11:3).

Hittites

• Apparently some members of this group lived in the hill country (Joshua 13:11). Several centuries later, Uriah the Hittite, one of David's mighty men (and first husband of Bathsheba) was apparently from around Jerusalem (2 Samuel 11:3-24; 23:39).

Hivites

• The name of this nation appears 25 times in the Bible as a people living west of the Jordan. Hivites are mentioned in Gibeon (Joshua 9:7; LXX Horite; 11:19), in Shechem (Genesis 4:2, LXX Horite), and in the North (Joshua 11:, "under Hermon in the land of Mizpah), in Judges 3:3 "on Mount Lebanon, from Mount Baal Hermon as far as Lebo-Hamath." Most scholars assume that the Hivites and the Horites were the same nation. The name does not occur later than David's time (2 Samuel 24:7). The name may have developed from the word for "tent village." The city of Gibeon, that had deceived the Israelites into thinking they were a far-away tribe, was also a Hivite city (Joshua 11:19).

Perizzites

• The name may come from the Hebrew word for "rural country" (HINTERLAND) or "rustic," thus maybe the Perizzites are "villagers." Some scholars see them as a subgroup of either the Amorites or the Hurrians.

Girgashites

• The Girgashites are mentioned only five times in the Old Testament, and only in lists with other inhabitants of Canaan. The name Girgash has been linked with the personal names Grgshy, Grgsh, and Grgshm found in Punic texts, and grgs and bn grgs in Ugaritic, suggesting that the tribe may be related to the Phoenicians who lived on the coast of Lebanon.

Amorites

• The Amorites lived primarily east of the Jordan river. Sihon, king of the Amorites in Heshbon, was one of Israel's early conquests. (Numbers 21:21-31). Og, king of Bashan was also mentioned as an Amorite king (Deuteronomy 4:47; Joshua 2:10). Their lands east of Jordan became the inheritance of the Israelite tribes of Reuben, Gad, and the half-tribe of Manasseh (Joshua 1:12ff).

Jebusites

• The term Jebusites referred to a group living in the uplands of Canaan near Jerusalem. Jerusalem is referred to as a Jebusite city (Joshua 15:8, 63), though the king of Jerusalem is elsewhere referred to as an Amorite king (Joshua 10:5). The area they dwelt in was inhabited by the tribe of Benjamin (Joshua 18:28). Even though Jerusalem was defeated by Joshua, the Jebusites were not fully dislodged (Joshua 15:63; Judges 1:21). King David conquered Jerusalem (2 Samuel 5:6-8) made it his capital. What eventually became the Temple mount was then the threshing floor of Arunah the Jebusite. David purchased the area from Arunah the Jebusite for a place of sacrifice to atone for his sin (2 Samuel 24:16-18).

Philistines

• The land of the Philistines was listed among the seven nations the Israelites were to drive out, but they are mentioned in Joshua 13:2-3 as the unconquered peoples: "This is the land that remains: all the regions of the Philistines and Geshurites: from the Shihor River on the east of Egypt to the territory of Ekron on the north, all of it counted as Canaanite (the territory of the five Philistine rulers in Gaza, Ashdod, Ashkelon, Gath and Ekron -- that of the Avvites)...." The reference to "Canaanites who dwell in the plain" (Joshua 17:16) probably is to the Philistines, also, since they had chariots of iron.

THE LOCATION OF THE ENEMIES

• The spies saw THE ENEMIES IN THE NATURAL, MANIFEST STATE

• They saw with their PHYSICAL EYES

• They used their NATURAL MINDS in assessing the situation

THE PRINCIPLE OF SPIRITUAL EQUIVALENCE

• THE EARTHLY EVENTS IN

SCRIPTURES HAVE THEIR

CORRESPONDING SPIRITUAL

EQUIVALENT IN THE SPIRIT

REALM.

• THE EARTHLY, VISIBLE EVENTS

STAND FOR SPIRITUAL,

INVISIBLE HAPPENINGS.

Interesting Einstein Theory

Einstein’s Theory

WHERE IN THE BIBLE IS THE PRINCIPLE OF

SPIRITUAL EQUIVALENCE(somewhat resonating parallel universe)

• I Corinthians 10:3-4 For I do not want you to be ignorant of the fact, brothers and sisters, that our ancestors were all under the cloud and that they all passed through the sea. 2 They were all baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea. 3 They all ate the same spiritual food 4 and drank the same spiritual drink; for they drank from the spiritual rock that accompanied them, and that rock was Christ.

The spiritual equivalent of their enemies:

Spirit name Meaning of nameAbbreviated

explanation of effects

Hittites Sons of terrorSubliminal torments, phobias, terror, depression, deceit

Girgashites Clay dwellersFocus on earthliness, unbelief in what cannot be seen

Amorites Mountain people; renownedObsession with earthly fame and glory, domineering

Canaanites Lowlands peopleAddictions, perversions, exaggerated people-pleasing

Perizzites Belonging to a villageLimited vision, laziness, low self-esteem

Hivites VillagersVision limited to enjoying an earthly inheritance, hedonism

Jebusites ThreshersSuppression of spiritual authority in fellow believers, legalism

SPIRITS TO OVERCOME:

1. HITTITE SPIRIT – spirit of fear (terror)

2. GIRGASHITE SPIRIT – fleshly (carnal, earth-bound) spirit

3. AMORITE SPIRIT – spirit of pride, SUPERIORITY

4. CANAANITE SPIRIT – man-pleasing spirit, BASE OR PRURIENT (ANIMALISTIC) PLEASURES

5. PERIZZITE SPIRIT – spirit of inferiority and worthlessness (denies our identity in Christ)

6. HIVITE SPIRIT – “in this world, for this life only” spirit (inability to see eternal values), LIMITED VISION

7. JEBUSITE – spirit of oppression

SPIRITUAL MAPPING EXPOSESthese enemies to our calling and destinies

• THIS CALLS FOR THE MINISTRY OF SEERS or

• THE SPIRIT OF DISCERNMENT

The problem, however, was :THE TERRITORIAL SPIRITS

INTER-ACTED WITH THE SEVEN PROBLEMATIC SPIRITS WORKING WITHIN THE TEN SPIES

(The spirits of :)

(1) Doubt. They said, "We are not able" (13:31). Doubt caused them to question their resources to take the land, as well as their God who was leading them. (Perizzite spirit)

(2) Self-depreciation. "We are in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight" (13:33). They saw themselves as teeny, tiny, little grasshoppers about to be squashed by the big, bad giants. (Hivite)

(3) Fear. Joshua indicates in 14:9 that they were afraid. Fear naturally follows doubt and self-depreciation. Fear then will paralyze one and keep him from acting. (Jebusite)

7 INTERNAL PROBLEMATIC SPIRITS(4) Critical spirit. When people become negative and

inactive, they turn to criticizing others who want to move forward. The whole congregation was influenced by these terrible ten to murmur and complain against God's leaders, Moses and Aaron (14:1-2). (Amorite spirit – superiority)

(5) Rebellion. The preceding attitudes contributed to the spirit of rebellion against God. They said, "Let us make a captain and return to Egypt" (14:4). Can you imagine being on the brink of the promised land, and then wanting to return to the land of slavery? (Hivite spirit)

(6) Ingratitude. Implied is also a spirit that was not thankful for their blessings. They failed to appreciate all that God had done for them in the two years after leaving Egypt.

(7) Unbelief-disobedience. All of these negative traits can be summed up in one word - unbelief. The writer of Hebrews 3:18-19 says that unbelief kept them from entering Canaan.

TRAGEDY• SO THE STRENGTH OF THE ENEMY WAS

MAGNIFIED, AND THE MIGHT OF GOD WAS NO LONGER EMPHASIZED

SO THEY GAVE A TRAGIC REPORT

NUMBERS 13• 26 They came back to Moses and Aaron and the whole

Israelite community at Kadesh in the Desert of Paran. There they reported to them and to the whole assembly and showed them the fruit of the land.27 They gave Moses this account: “We went into the land to which you sent us, and it does flow with milk and honey! Here is its fruit. 28 But the people who live there are powerful, and the cities are fortified and very large. We even saw descendants of Anak there. 29 The Amalekites live in the Negev; the Hittites, Jebusites and Amorites live in the hill country;and the Canaanites live near the sea and along the Jordan.”

An attempt to change their minds -NUMBERS 13

30 Then Caleb silenced the people before Moses and said, “We should go up and take possession of the land, for we can certainly do it.”

31 But the men who had gone up with him said, “We can’t attack those people; they are stronger than we are.” 32 And they spread among the Israelites a bad report about the land they had explored. They said, “The land we explored devours those living in it. All the people we saw there are of great size. 33 We saw the Nephilim there (the descendants of Anak come from the Nephilim).We seemed like grasshoppers in our own eyes, and we looked the same to them.”

SO THE ASSEMBLY MURMURED! –Numbers 14

• 1 That night all the members of the community raised their voices and wept aloud. 2 All the Israelites grumbled against Moses and Aaron, and the whole

assembly said to them, “If only we had died in Egypt! Or in this wilderness!

• 6Joshua son of Nun and Caleb son of

Jephunneh, who were among those who had explored the land, tore their clothes 7 and said to the entire Israelite assembly, “The land we passed through and explored is exceedingly good. 8 If the LORD is pleased with us, he will lead us into that land, a land flowing with milk and honey, and will give it to us. 9 Only do not rebel against the LORD. And do not be afraid of the people of the land, because we will devour them. Their protection is gone, but the LORD is with us. Do not be afraid of them.”

Word meanings of names:JOSHUA – Yeshua or Yehoshua

YHWH IS OUR SALVATION

SON OF NUN – Nun means “fish”

(daga), meaning to multiply or increase. This verb is only used in Genesis 48:16, but its derivatives are ubiquitous and they all have to do with fish: The nouns )דג dag) and )דגה daga) mean fish, )דוג dawwag) means fisherman and )דוגה duga) means fishery.

• נון -- The root-verb )נון nun) means to propagate or increase. It occurs only once in the Bible, in Psalm 72:17, where Solomon wishes the name of the king of Israel to propagate; The sole derivative of this verb is the masculine noun )נין nin), meaning offspring or posterity (Genesis 21:23, Job 18:19, Isaiah 14:22).

Caleb son of Jephunneh

• CALEB – dog, faithful

• JEPHUNNEHפנה• The root-verb )פנה pana) means to turn toward, or rather

to bend or incline: a deliberate alteration of a course of progression toward a newly declared and desired objective. Our verb is used to describe natural features 'turning' toward a certain direction (Joshua 15:2), a path 'turning' into a better direction (Malachi 3:1), a vine's branches 'turning' toward a tending eagle (Ezekiel 17:6), a person 'turning' into some for onlookers unexpected direction (Song of Solomon 6:1), an enemy 'turning' away from the victim (Zephaniah 3:15), or folks 'turning' toward achieving a situation (Haggai 1:9) or help (Job 5:1).

Numbers 14

• 10 But the whole assembly talked about stoning them. Then the glory of the LORD appeared at the tent of meeting to all the Israelites. 11 The LORD said to Moses, “How long will these people treat me with contempt? How long will they refuse to believe in me, in spite of all the signs I have performed among them? 12 I will strike them down with a plague and destroy them, but I will make you into a nation greater and stronger than they.”

MOSES INTERCEDES - Numbers 14

• 17 “Now may the Lord’s strength be displayed, just as you have declared:18 ‘The LORD is slow to anger, abounding in love and forgiving sin and rebellion. Yet he does not leave the guilty unpunished; he punishes the children for the sin of the parents to the third and fourth generation.’19 In accordance with your great love, forgive the sin of these people, just as you have pardoned them from the time they left Egypt until now.”

THE LORD FORGAVE, BUT….NUMBERS 14

• 20 The LORD replied, “I have forgiven them, as you asked. 21 Nevertheless, as surely as I live and as surely as the glory of the LORD fills the whole earth, 22 not one of those who saw my glory and the signs I performed in Egypt and in the wilderness but who disobeyed me and tested me ten times— 23 not one of them will ever see the land I promised on oath to their ancestors. No one who has treated me with contempt will ever see it.

THE REMNANT IS SAVED –NUMBERS 14

• 24 But because my servant Caleb has a different spirit and follows me wholeheartedly, I will bring him into the land he went to, and his descendants will inherit it. 25 Since the Amalekites and the Canaanites are living in the valleys, turn back tomorrow and set out toward the desert along the route to the Red Sea.[a]”

A VERY IMPORTANT POINT:ON THE POWER OF THE ASSEMBLY

• THAT NIGHT BECAME A NIGHT OF WEEPING AND REMORSE

• The sin of unbelief and disobedience

was the sin of the Assembly!!!!

• The assembly (THE “LOWER HOUSE”)

“legislated” that they could not do it, that God cannot help them!!!

• IT WAS THE “TISHA B’AV” – 9TH

OF AV

• SO THE “UPPER HOUSE” – THE LORD

ALMIGHTY – DECREED THAT THAT DAY

BE ETCHED IN HISTORY AS THE DAY OF

UNBELIEF, WHICH EQUALS THE DAY OF

DISASTER!!

The mystery of the 9th

of Av

• The 9th of Av, Tisha b'Av, commemorates a list

of catastrophes so severe it's

clearly a day set aside by G-d for

suffering.

1. 9TH of Av - The year is 1313 BCE. The Lord decreed that the unbelieving generation will not enter the promised land; sent the Israelites in 40 years of wilderness experience until all of the oldies died

9th of Av

2. The First Temple (built by Solomon) was destroyed on the 9th of Av (423 BCE).

3. Five centuries later (in 69 CE), as the Romans drew closer to the Second Temple, ready to torch it, the Jews were shocked to realize that their Second Temple was destroyed the same day as the first – on the 9th of Av!

9th of AV

4. When the Jews rebelled against Roman rule, they believed that their leader, Simon bar Kochba, would fulfill their messianic longings. But their hopes were cruelly dashed in 133 CE as the Jewish rebels were brutally butchered in the final battle at Betar. The date of the massacre? —the 9th of Av!

9th of Av

5. The Jews were expelled from England in 1290 CE on, you guessed it, Tisha b'Av.

6. In 1492, the Golden Age of Spain came to a close when Queen Isabella and her husband Ferdinand ordered that the Jews be banished from the land. The edict of expulsion was signed on March 31, 1492,and the Jews were given exactly four months to put their affairs in order and leave the country. The Hebrew date on which no Jew was allowed any longer to remain in the land where he had enjoyed welcome and prosperity — was the 9th of Av.

9th of Av

7. World War II and the Holocaust, historians conclude, was actually the long drawn-out conclusion of World War I that began in 1914. And yes, amazingly enough, Germany declared war on Russia, effectively catapulting the First World War into motion, on the 9th of Av, Tisha b'Av.

Summary of 9th of Av disasters• The episode of the Golden calf (17th of Tammuz) in which the Hebrews, after their

exodus from Egypt, reintroduced idolatry as a form of spirituality.[8][9]

1 The First Crusade officially commenced on August 15, 1096 (Av 24, AM 4856), killing 10,000 Jews in its first month and destroying Jewish communities in France and theRhineland.[6][10]

2 The Jews were expelled from England on July 18, 1290 (Av 9, AM 5050).[6]

3 The Jews were expelled from France on July 22, 1306 (Av 10, AM 5066).4 The Jews were expelled from Spain on July 31, 1492 (Av 7, AM 5252).[7]

5 Germany entered World War I on August 1–2, 1914 (Av 9-10, AM 5674), which caused massive upheaval in European Jewry and whose aftermath led to the Holocaust.[6]

6 On August 2, 1941 (Av 9, AM 5701), SS commander Heinrich Himmler formally received approval from the Nazi Party for "The Final Solution." As a result, the Holocaustbegan during which almost one third of the world's Jewish population perished.

7 On July 23, 1942 (Av 9, AM 5702), began the mass deportation of Jews from the Warsaw Ghetto, en route to Treblinka.

8 Most religious communities use Tisha B'Av to mourn the 6,000,000 Jews who perished in the Holocaust, including special kinnot composed for this purpose (see the mainkinnot article) (in addition to, or instead of, the secular Holocaust Memorial Days.)

LESSON:

HOW YOU RESPOND TO THE CHALLENGES TO YOUR CALLING OR DESTINY, WHETHER FAITH OR UNBELIEF, BECOMES AN ACT OF LEGISLATION, ESPECIALLY BY AN ASSEMBLY.

THAT IS WHY WE ARE VERY CAREFUL

HERE IN NIHOP, THAT ON GOD’S

APPOINTED FEASTS, WE GATHER A

SOLEMN ASSEMBLY AND

LEGISLATE FAITH AND VICTORY!

REMEMBER

• "Now all these things happened unto them for ensamples; and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come" (1 Cor. 10:11). KJV

• “These things happened to them as examples and were written down as warnings for us, on whom the culmination of the ages has come.” NIV

RECALL:First “BACOLOD FOR JESUS”, October 2013,

prophetic act – poured oil on kilometer zero, dedicated Bacolod to Jesus for His protection against natural calamities.

ONE MONTH LATER, YOLANDA CAME, AND SPARED BACOLOD!

9TH OF AV - WHEN WILL IT FALL THIS YEAR AND NEXT?

• The fast of Tisha b'Av falls on the Hebrew calendar date of 9 Av. Here are the coinciding secular dates for the upcoming years:

• 2016: August 13-14

• 2017: July 31-August 1

• Note: The Jews fast on this date. Their calendar date begins at sundown of the night beforehand. Thus the fast begins with sunset of the first secular date listed, and concludes at nightfall the following day.

Learnings and applications:

1. THE LORD PROMISED ABRAHAM AND MOSES THAT HE WAS GIVING CANAAN TO HIS PEOPLE; THE PROMISED LAND WAS THEIR DESTINY

Learning:

2. THEY, HOWEVER, HAD TO BE READY TO CONTEND OR FIGHT (OR WORK FOR) THEIR DESTINY!!!

Learning:3. IN FIGHTING OR CONTENDING FOR THEIR

DESTINY, THEY HAD TO “SPY OUT” “THE LAND” –THEIR CALLING AND DESTINY!!!

THEY HAD TO DO SOME “MAPPING”!!!

THE QUESTION, HOWEVER, IS

WHAT WAS TE SPIRITUAL CONDITION OF THE SEERS WERE DISPATCHED? THOSE WHO CAN ONLY SEE THE ENEMIES, BUT CANNOT SEE THE LORD, HIS WORK, HIS ANGELS, HIS ARMIES?

WHAT DO YOU SEE?? WHAT DO WE SEE??

THE ENEMIES OF GOD, and their moves?

OR THE FORCES OF GOD and their moves?

THE JEREMIAH MODEL OF SEEING

The Lord asked Jeremiah: “WHAT DO YOU

SEE JEREMIAH?” (Jeremiah 1:11)

“I see the branch of an almond tree” (v. 12)

“YOU HAVE SEEN CORRECTLY, for I am

watching to see that my word is fulfilled.”

(v. 13)

Again the Lord asked “WHAT DO YOU SEE

JEREMIAH?” (v. 13)

“I see a boiling pot, tilting away from the

north.” (v.13)

The Lord said “… disaster will come from the

north…”

Of the twelve spies sent by Moses…ONLY TWO WERE SEER-FIGHTERS:

1. JOSHUA

2. CALEB

But you know the rest of the story, the assembly prevailed in unbelief, and the entry to the promised land was delayed by 40 years!!!

CONTRAST THE JOSHUA

SPIES with the earlier spies

(4O YEARS LATER…)

JOSHUA 2:1 Then Joshua son of Nun secretly

sent two spies from Shittim. “Go, look over the land,” he said, “especially Jericho.” So they went and entered the house of a prostitute named Rahab and stayed there.

• (ELEMENT OF “HIDING”, “SECRECY”…)

JOSHUA 2

• 2 The king of Jericho was told, “Look, some of the Israelites have come here tonight to spy out the land.” 3 So the king of Jericho sent this message to Rahab: “Bring out the men who came to you and entered your house, because they have come to spy out the whole land.”

JOSHUA 2

• 4 But the woman had taken the two men and hidden them. She said, “Yes, the men came to me, but I did not know where they had come from. 5 At dusk, when it was time to close the city gate, they left. I don’t know which way they went. Go after them quickly. You may catch up with them.” 6 (But she had taken them up to the roof and hidden them under the stalks of flax she had laid out on the roof.) 7 So the men set out in pursuit of the spies on the road that leads to the fords of the Jordan, and as soon as the pursuers had gone out, the gate was shut.

JOSHUA 3• 3 Early in the morning Joshua and all the Israelites set

out from Shittim and went to the Jordan, where they camped before crossing over. 2 After three days the officers went throughout the camp, 3 giving orders to the people: “When you see the ark of the covenant of the LORD your God, and the Levitical priests carrying it, you are to move out from your positions and follow it. 4 Then you will know which way to go, since you have never been this way before. But keep a distance of about two thousand cubits[a] between you and the ark; do not go near it.”

(FOOTNOTE: SHITTIM MEANS “ACACIA” WHICH IS THE MATERIAL USED FOR THE ARK OF THE COVENANT AND MANY ARTICLES IN THE TABERNACLE)

JOSHUA 3

• 6 Joshua said to the priests, “Take up the ark of the covenant and pass on ahead of the people.” So they took it up and went ahead of them.

• 7 And the LORD said to Joshua, “Today I will begin to exalt you in the eyes of all Israel, so they may know that I am with you as I was with Moses.8 Tell the priests who carry the ark of the covenant: ‘When you reach the edge of the Jordan’s waters, go and stand in the river.’”

JOSHUA 3

• 9 Joshua said to the Israelites, “Come here and listen to the words of the LORD your God. 10 This is how you will know that the living God is among you and that he will certainly drive out before you the Canaanites, Hittites, Hivites, Perizzites, Girgashites, Amorites and Jebusites. 11 See, the ark of the covenant of the Lord of all the earth will go into the Jordan ahead of you. 12 Now then, choose twelve men from the tribes of Israel, one from each tribe. 13 And as soon as the priests who carry the ark of the LORD—the Lord of all the earth—set foot in the Jordan, its waters flowing downstream will be cut off and stand up in a heap.”

(NOTE!! The act of CHOOSING THE MEN to

collect the stones was BEFORE THE

CROSSING. This was a PROPHETIC ACT OF

FAITH!!)

Joshua 4

• 4 When the whole nation had finished crossing the Jordan, the LORD said to Joshua, 2 “Choose twelve men from among the people, one from each tribe, 3 and tell them to take up twelve stones from the middle of the Jordan, from right where the priests are standing, and carry them over with you and put them down at the place where you stay tonight.”

(NOTE: THIS WAS AN EXAMPLE OF A PROPHETIC ACT. “MOVEMENT-MONUMENT/MEMORIAL-MOVEMENT…”)

Joshua 4

• 4 So Joshua called together the twelve men he had appointed from the Israelites, one from each tribe, 5 and said to them, “Go over before the ark of the LORD your God into the middle of the Jordan. Each of you is to take up a stone on his shoulder, according to the number of the tribes of the Israelites, 6 to serve as a sign among you. In the future, when your children ask you, ‘What do these stones mean?’ 7

tell them that the flow of the

Jordan was cut off before the ark of the

covenant of the LORD. When it crossed the

Jordan, the waters of the Jordan were cut

off. These stones are to be a MEMORIAL to

the people of Israel forever.”

Joshua 4

• 19 On the tenth day of the first month the people went up from the Jordan and camped at Gilgal on the eastern border of Jericho. 20 And Joshua set up at Gilgal the twelve stones they had taken out of the Jordan. 21 He said to the Israelites, “In the future when your descendants ask their parents, ‘What do these stones mean?’ 22 tell them, ‘Israel crossed the Jordan on dry ground.’ 23 For the LORD your

God dried up the Jordan before you until

you had crossed over. The LORD your God

did to the Jordan what he had done to the

Red Sea[b]

when he dried it up before us

until we had crossed over.24

He did this so

that all the peoples of the earth might

know that the hand of the LORD is powerful

and so that you might always fear

the LORD your God.”

WHAT IS THE POINT???SPIRITUAL MAPPING IS WITH A VIEW TO

ATTACK THE ENEMY (THE GATES OF HELL WILL NOT PREVAIL AGAINST THE EKKLESIA – THE ASSEMBLY)!!!

AND WHEN WE SEE THE ENEMY, WE PROCEED IN

BOLDNESS AND FAITH!!! WE ATTACK!!

THE OUTLINE OF THE BOOK OF JOSHUA

So from this: to this:

A PROPOSITION TO NIHOP:

• WE ARE IN A JOURNEY OF FAITH AND OBEDIENCE

• 2016-2017 (5776-577) IS A CRUCIAL TRANSITION

WE WANT TO BE ABLE TO CROSS OUR

JORDAN, AND COME INTO OUR CALLING

AND DESTINY…

ASSESMENT OF OUR PRESENT SITUATION, BLESSINGS OF THE LORD

1. I believe that, and I thank the Lord and give ALL THE GLORY TO HIM, that He has CONFIRMED that He has established us as a PROPHETIC COMMUNITY:

DEUTERONOMY 18:

21 You may say to yourselves, “How can we know when a message has not been spoken by the LORD?” 22

If

what a prophet proclaims in the name

of the LORD does not take place or

come true, that is a message

the LORD has not spoken. That prophet has spoken presumptuously, so do not be alarmed.”

The confirmation/affirmation:

1. OCTOBER 2013 – we anointed Bacolod for protection against natural calamities:

a. We were DRAMATICALLY SPARED FROM YOLANDA

b. No typhoon has entered Bacolod EVER SINCE 2013 up to the present

2. 2015 prophetic act – ANOINTING FOR FAMILIES

3. 2016 PROPHETIC ACT – among others, for RAIN

ALL CAME TRUE, ALL WERE HONORED BY THE LORD

2. There is an OPEN HEAVEN

IN NEGROS NOW

The evidence of the open heavens:

1. The honoring of the prophetic acts and assembly legislations

2. The opening of the spiritual eyes of Bro. Dolphy Jr.

3. The PHYSICAL MANIFESTATION of the RAINS THAT CONTINUE TO POUR FORTH after the solemn assembly of April 7-9, 2016

3. There is going

to be very soon a

NEHEMIAH WALL

OF PRAYER

around Negros

Island.

Bacolod base,Dumaguete base.

4. WE WILL VERY SOON HAVE A

HOUSE OF PRAYER IN CANLAON

5. HEAVEN NOW NOTES OF THE EKKLESIA- ASSEMBLY IN NEGROS

ISLAND

HOWEVER:

1. WE NEED TO BE A COMMUNITY OF

LOVE!!!

2. WE NEED TO SPY OUT THE LAND

NOW IN PURSUIT OF OUR DESTINY AND CALLING, WITH A VIEW TO ATTACK

Company of seers

Under Sis. Janet (assisted by Sis. Joy)
