Eze. 33:1-6: Again the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, Son of man, speak to the children of thy people, and say unto them, When I bring the sword upon a land, if the people of the land take a man of their coasts, and set him for their watchman: If when he seeth the sword come upon the land, he blow the trumpet, and warn the people; Then whosoever heareth the sound of the trumpet, and taketh not warning; if the sword come, and take him away, his blood shall be upon his own head. He heard the sound of the trumpet, and took not warning; his blood shall be upon him. But he that taketh warning shall deliver his soul. But if the watchman see the sword come, and blow not the trumpet, and the people be not warned; if the sword come, and take any person from among them, he is taken away in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at the watchman's hand.

Deborah call out your Gideon! (Battle of the sexes - 1)

I believe I received a Word yesterday (10 Aug. 2015) which is allowing me to address a matter which is of paramount and cardinal importance, a matter I have been wrestling with for ages now and which has had a massive impact on the Body of Messiah, so much so as to feminise the men in the Body of Messiah and emasculate him so that he no longer functions in his Elohim Created role:

The word I had laid on my spirit was this:
 There has been a concerted effort since the Garden to undermine the authority of the man!
I shall endeavour to cover this matter in a series of missives as Abba YHWH leads; so herewith is the first of these "instalments":  

This message I need to attach hereunder as the main body of the text was received on 10 February 2015 & written on 11 February 2015, I have never felt led to publish this article on this blog, I have however sent it to people on my mailing list plus a Religious Magazine which requested it, but now however I really believe the time has come to address the matter of the roles of both men & women in the Body of Messiah in the public domain.

But first a caveat and warning:

The Word I believe I received is recorded in the text below in BLUE, however to maintain credibility I need to post, in toto, the entire mail just as I originally sent it out, and this of necessity will include my opinions and deductions at that time, opinions and deductions which can now be seen for what they are - just opinions and deductions based on presented facts I believed to be be applicable at that time, but now shown to not be relevant to the last Pesach Feast as I had believed/deduced:  Thus please again I need to reiterate the need for each and every one of us to diligently seek YHWH and His Counsel on everything we may hear or see from any source other then from The Ruach of YHWH HIMSELF!

This said, I do not believe that The Word I received has in any way been diluted or compromised by what I opined - because of who we are as humans we all will have seemingly credible opinions, we in the so called "Messianic Movement" call these opinions and ensuing discussions of such opinions midrashing (seeking the Truth of the Word through discussion between believers): YHWH has the Truth, BUT it is to the honour of man to seek it out - Please now allow me to expound on this point:- (Prov. 25:2)
 
Right at this time of Kingdom and World events all we can really hope to see and hear from The Ruach of Yeshua YHWH to varying degrees and ways will be perceived as through a darkened glass - (darkened is G135 - ainigma = an enigma) - in other words we see and hear enigma's from The Creator Spirit which we cannot and will not ever fully understand this side of Yeshua's return, and out of our frail and finite humanness we do form opinions and concepts in our best efforts to seek and understand the enigma we have been blessed to be presented with by HIM. (1 Cor. 13:12)

Yes one day we will understand more clearly, but for now YHWH has decreed that we see only inexplicable and unexplainable enigma's - BUT to assist us in our task of seeking His Will and rebuilding His Kingdom here on Earth YHWH in His Mercy, Grace and Sovereign Design, has left us with the Spiritual Tools of FAITH (fidelity to, moral conviction of & reliance in The Surety and Commitment of Messiah Yeshua to His Covenant and to us); HOPE (expectation and confidence with pleasure in His Completing of His Works in and around us and His ultimate return for His Bride & for Her to Rule with Yeshua out of Jerusalem) and LOVE (G26 from G25 from H5689 - to breath after, to long for, dote over - basically Divinely assisted application if His Torah, His Love with His Heart) - and this Faith, Hope and LOVE as He has for us and in His completed works in and through us is what should motivate us to LOVE our Neighbour as ourselves because of our First Love for YHWH Elohim. (1 Cor. 13:13; Matt. 22:37-40)

This LOVE, if we allow it,  should drive us to call out from the Roof tops in obedience what we believe HE has shown us; to cry out from the wall to our brothers and sisters in Messiah to beware of the impending dangers; to herald the coming of our Saviour and Redeemer - Dear brother and sister WE WILL MAKE MISTAKES, WE WILL ERR, WE ARE STILL CHILDREN GROWING UP IN THE HOUSE OF OUR FATHER - BUT WHAT THE HEART IS FULL OF WILL FLOW OVER THE LIPS, TO PREVENT SUCH A FLOW BECAUSE OF CAUTION SO EXTREME AS TO MAKE US MUTE - OR EVEN WORSE, TO MAKE US FEAR THAT SHOULD WE SAY WHAT WE BELIEVE WE HAVE BEEN TOLD, SHOWN OR WHAT WE TRULY BELIEVE MAY BE A DEDUCTION BASED ON WORD, PRAYER, EXPERIENCES AND CLOSET TIME WILL CAUSE OUR HEAVENLY FATHER AND BETROTHED TO PUNISH US, IS NOT LOVE, IT HAS NO HOPE AND IS DEFINITELY NOT AN ACT OF FAITH AND FIDELITY- IT IS AN ACT OF FAITHLESSNESS AND POSSIBLY EVEN COWARDICE -THE WORD ADMONISHES US TO ACT LIKE A MAN! (Matt. 10:26-27; Luke 12:2-3; Eze. 33; Luke 6:45; Heb. 11:6; Rev. 21:8; 1 Cor. 16:13)

Now confirmations were received on this missive from various sources and I do believe that I did receive an ENIGMA from YHWH Through His Ruach otherwise I would never publish or speak of it, and this "enigma" does align with His Word and circumstances present and prevalent today, thus I have taken the liberty to cut and paste from one of the mails which I received the morning after I sent this word out initially for you perusal: 
Morning.
This is in fact an actual prophecy you have been pointed to. Please go and watch the following link and you will know that this was not by chance….

Now onto the "Enigma" I believe I received for the Body and must now release:

Yesterday (10 Feb 2015) whilst writing something contemplatively I had a thought, it was obviously an unexpected and novel thought, otherwise there would be no point in relating it to you all. I am not saying it is a “Thus says YHWH” thought, but I am obviously not discounting that glorious possibility.  Can “my thought” stand up to Scriptural Criteria?  Yes I believe it can, and I shall attempt to show this.

Before I proceed I would first like first to state that in my opinion, if this is of YHWH and my initial findings do carry water, the matter may be of utmost gravity and for purposes of brevity and urgency I am sending out a rather succinct and less detailed format of my message, and should I be required to do so, then obviously I shall expound on this mail.

 Here is the my “thought”:

“The time of Deborah is past, she must now pray for the calling out of Gideon!”

Now as much as I would like to claim a vast and scholarly knowledge of the Holy Writ, in all honesty I cannot, and this limitation, for want of a better word, has enabled me on more occasions than I can count to see the very strong possibility of a Ruach inspired event!

Thus, immediately that I had this thought I just knew that Deborah was the Judge immediately prior to Gideon.  Obviously when I checked the Word this fact was correct (1st Witness).

I also at the same time relived my own frustrations and observations of the amount of women taking up leading roles within the Body, the lack of men and the cries of these women for their husbands to come to Messiah Yeshua, their attempts to motivate, cajole even manipulate their husbands to a spiritual awakening - BUT all to no avail.  Our men have lost their confidence and motivation - the exact problem experienced in the days of Deborah  (Jud. 4:8-9; 5:6-8) (2nd Witness).

Within the same “revelation” it came to mind that Gideon was a very timid man initially, trying to hide from the enemy, trying to just make ends meet and trying his best to stay out of trouble. It needed the appearance of The Angel of YHWH HIMSELF (Pre-incarnate Yeshua?) to prompt Gideon into action, and even then it was a shrouded attempt initially on Gideon’s part, and this I believe is exactly where we are as men today. (3rd Witness).******See below please:

I recorded my thought thus:

I believe we have experienced a time of Deborah having to rise up and try and awaken the men who are asleep, SHE HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO DO IT VIA HER OWN EFFORTS; but the season of Gideon is here.  Pray for your Gideon’s call him/them out of the caves and from the wine presses - let him/them rise up and lead the multitudes of YHWH against the Midianites (Jug. 4-8) LET THE ANGEL OF YHWH SAY TO YOUR MAN/MEN - "YHWH IS WITH YOU, YOU MIGHTY BRAVE ONE!”  

That was what invaded my thoughts immediately, as best as I am able to describe it.  I also believe that should this thought have been prompted by YHWH it may have very real end time implications, and if that is so, then the ball is already rolling, the hour may be very late and the situation critically urgent. I obviously prayed through the matter and below is briefly why I offer such an opinion:

We have the 3rd of the Tetrarch Blood Moons and the Blackened Solar Eclipse appearing shortly - Without going into my prayers, answers to said prayers and previous correspondence,  I believe this phenomena, which will take place this Passover, is possibly prophesied in Joel 2:28-32 (Or Joel 3 in the Jewish Bible). (Seems at time of publishing not to have been what I thought for this FEAST - for a later one?  Only YHWH knows).

To tie this to the Gideon passage we read in Jug. 6:19 that Gideon prepared unleavened cakes (Matstsah) (Feast of Unleavened Bread?).  Again in Jug. 7:13 the dream the Midianite soldier has is describing Gideon as a cake of barley bread.  It is the discovery of ripe Barley which begins the Hebrew New Year and heralds in the Feast of Passover!  

We are told that this war was against the Midianites, and it would seem to suggest from Jug. 8:4 that none of the 300 soldiers YHWH chose for Gideon were killed!  When we read in Num. 31, we are told in vs. 4 that 1000 from each tribe were taken to fight against Midian that makes a total of 12,000 men. In vs. 48 of Num. 31 we are told that not one man was killed in the battle against the Midianites yet Israel slew all the males of Midian (vs. 7)

Rev. 7 & 14 also speak of the sealing (choosing) by YHWH of the 144000, that is 12000 from each of the 12 tribes of Israel.

I am further of the opinion that those having the the Ruach HaKodesh (Holy Spirit) poured out on them and spoken of in Joel 2:28-29; the revealing of the Sons of Elohim in Rom. 8:19 and the sealing of the 144,000 may all take place at one time and refer to a similar incident.

Reading further into Judges we are told in Jug. 8:21 that Gideon slew the Midianite kings “and took away the ornaments (round like a moon) that were on the camels necks..  Again in vs. 26 of Jug. 8 we read of the crescent (moon) shaped ornaments that Gideon took from the booty captured from the Midianites.  We see the massive rise of Islam today and the obvious symbol of the crescent moon (Allah the moon god)!

 Judges 7:1 A penultimate point is the fact that it is believed that Mt. Moreh borders the Valley of Armageddon or Meggido and this is where the Battle between Gideon’s 300 and Midian takes place. We are also obviously aware of the final battle of Armageddon as well!

For the final point I return to Num. 31 and verse 2.  We are told that this was the last official act of Moshe (Moses) before being gathered to his people (before he died and Yehoshua (Joshua) led the people of Israel into the Promised Land).  If we are indeed in the Last days; if the above is credible, then this is a final battle that shall have to take place before Messiah Yeshua brings us all back to Eretz Yisrael for Eternity!

Thank you for your patience once again, and please, please pray about this, check it against the Word - do not just accept or discard it - you must test it.

Shalom in Messiah Yeshua, our Lord of Hosts.

******NB:  

Dear Sisters in Messiah, you looking for the man in your man, the man to lead your son, be an good example to your grandchildren:  I address this to you:

I feel the need to explain the position of my fellow men, as he may not be able to say it himself for what ever reason:  This is how many of the men I speak to today feel:

I in no way wish to condone any form of family or gender violence, or breach of The Word by any man in any way, and neither do I plead innocence for us - we have a very large part to play in where we find ourselves today, but I do ask for your ear and if possible an empathetic ear:

To be perfectly honest, men, us, as a gender (we used to call it the male sex - but I suppose that is not politically correct anymore) are doing very much as the first Adam did, we have not and are not taking the necessary responsibilities for our wives, and now the horse has to all intents and purposes bolted:  WE WERE NOT BEFORE OUR MESSIAH YESHUA WHEN WE NEEDED TO BE!  WE DROPPED THE BALL!

Please do not see this as a victim mentality:  WE ARE NOT VICTIMS! However, facts are facts, and the facts are us NORMAL RED BLOODED MALE ADULTS have been preyed upon by basically every feminist, liberal, human rights, gay rights, family rights, political rights and educational organisation and institution in the Western World:  We are not allowed to be heads of our homes; we are prevented from taking decisions for and over our families: We are discriminated against in the work place: WE HAVE BEEN PUMMELLED, PUSHED, PUNCHED AND MADE TO FEEL LIKE NEANDERTHALOID MISFITS, JUST FOR BEING NORMAL MEN: WE CANNOT EVEN BE SOLDIERS ANY MORE, IT SEEMS WE NEED WOMEN TO SHOW US HOW TO DO IT WITH SENSITIVITY OR SOMETHING. The attack against man started in the Garden and it has come a long way. Most men today, and I do not wish to enter a semantics debate right now Ladies, but most men today, DO NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO ANYMORE so they flee - they flee to the TV; another woman; violence and/or alcohol, drugs, pornography - whatever - but flee just to escape - nothing makes sense to us anymore - all the borders are blurred!
  
OUR CHURCHES PREACH A CUDDLY, FEELY, GREEK, HUMANIST GOD WHO SEEMS TO PROMOTE THE FEMINIST VIEW AND USE A FEMALE PREACHER TO TELL US HOW TO BE MEN... AND YOU WANT US MEN TO GO TO THESE ASSEMBLIES?
  
WE HAVE BEEN ROBBED BY EN LARGE OF OUR MASCULINITY. WE NEED TO COME INTO CONTACT AGAIN WITH YHWH, THE LORD OF HOSTS, IN WHOSE IMAGE WE WERE MADE - NOT OUR FEMALE SIDE WHATEVER THAT MIGHT MEAN:WE NEED TO MEET AN ELOHIM WHOSE IMAGE EXHIBITS JEALOUSY, RIGHTEOUSNESS AND JUSTICE AND WITH THOSE MAGNIFICENT QUALITIES HE TEMPERS THE STEEL OF HIS BURNING LOVE, COMPASSION AND UNFATHOMABLE MERCY.  WE MEN NEED TO MEET THE YESHUA WHO DROVE THE MONEY LENDERS OUT OF THE TEMPLE WITH A WHIP AND RIGHTEOUS WRATH.  NOT THE BABY IN THE CRIB WHO LATER BROKE ALL HIS FATHERS LAWS AND COMMANDMENTS!  WE MEN NEED TO MEET THIS ELOHIM OF PASSION WHO CRIED FOR HIS PEOPLE YET DEFIED JERUSALEM AND ROME!
 
US MEN HAVE GLOWING EMBERS IN US, THE FIRE IS THERE IT JUST NEEDS A LITTLE RESUSCITATION, A LITTLE RECOGNITION AND RESPECT FOR WHO WE WERE CREATED TO BE:  WE NEED YOUR PRAYERS TO PROTECT US AND THE MESSIAH TO IGNITE US…WE CANNOT WIN THIS WAR WITHOUT YOU LADIES IN OUR CORNER, AND OUR MASTER YESHUA LEADING AND DIRECTING, BECAUSE THEN, AND ONLY THEN THE WORD OF YHWH CHARGES YOU THUS O YE DAUGHTERS OF JERUSALEM: THAT BY THE ROES AND BY THE HINDS OF THE FIELDS, YOU STIR NOT UP, NOR AWAKE MY LOVE, TILL HE PLEASE! (SoS 3:5)  YOU WILL GET YOUR GIDEON!

THANK YOU.
