Fri.’s Devo - The Fall of the Cabal

Read: Zechariah 10:1-11:17; Revelation 18:1-24; Psalm 146:1-10; Provers 30:33 The Lord tells the people to ask Him for their needs. Their whole economy depended on rain which was something money could not buy. Instead of asking the Lord, who made the rain, they went to fortune tellers and false prophets to pay them to send rain. How foolish. *** The Lord was mad at the shepherds who should be leading the people to the Lord. Instead they were a stumbling stone. God would send them the cornerstone that would hold the whole thing together. He would equip his people to be mighty warriors who will defeat their enemies. God will redeem them and they will obey the Lord. *** God will bring his people who have been scattered across the earth back home to Israel. He will crush their enemies and make his people strong. They will go wherever they wish and carry the authority of the Lord. *** We are seeing that happen in our day as Trump is restored as our rightful president. The nations are now afraid of us and the Deep State is trembling because their kingdom is coming down. *** Beginning in verse 4 of chapter 11, God tells Zechariah to go and care for the ones the enemy had intended to slaughter. He takes two staffs and names one “Favor” and the other one “Union”. Zechariah got rid of their three evil shepherds in a single month. Here is what a commentator wrote about these three shepherds: “The three shepherds whom Messiah removes are John, Simon, and Eleazar, three leaders of factions in the Jewish war [DRUSIUS]. Or, as Messiah, the Antitype, was at once prophet, priest, and king, so He by the destruction of the Jewish polity destroyed these three orders for the unbelief of both the rulers and people [MOORE]. If they had accepted Messiah, they would have had all three combined in Him, and would have been themselves spiritually prophets, priests, and kings to God. Refusing Him, they lost all three, in every sense.” *** He tried to care for these people but they rejected him so he took the “Favor” staff and broke them in two, to symbolize breaking his covenant with them. He then asked them to pay him what they thought he was worth and they gave him 30 pieces of silver. God told him to throw the money to the potter in the Temple. Then he took the “Union” staff and broke it showing that the unity between Judah and Israel was broken. *** It is obvious that what Zechariah illustrated was exactly what they did to Jesus. They rejected him and valued him at 30 pieces of silver. The majority of the people followed the Pharisees and religious shepherds at the time and many didn’t accept Jesus, so they were given even more ruthless priests and prophets and lost their opportunity for God’s favor and restoration. *** God told Zechariah to go and play like the worthless shepherd and illustrate how God was going to give them a shepherd who would not care a bit about them or their welfare, but would only extort from them and take the best for himself. *** This ruthless shepherd would be cursed. *** In Revelation we see the fall of the Cabal. The whole system of the harlot, the false prophet (we could say false “profit”) and the beast is falling. I read a list of the major chains that are going to be closing. It was quite an exhausted list. The CEO’s that stepped down in the last two years has been in the thousands. The number of arrests that have been made public of leaders has been great and the list that hasn’t been made public even greater. Babylon is falling before our very eyes. Next year it will become more obvious to the public what has happened and what is going to change in the future. Hallelujah! We are witnessing God’s Kingdom coming to earth! This is the most exciting time on the face of the earth to be alive and God has chosen us to be a part of it. *** Lord, thank you for giving us a front row seat to seeing your hand moving in power on the earth to defeat our enemies. May we have the right heart and work with you in your takedown. May we see the revival of souls into your kingdom and be soldiers of healing and restoration.
