My Name will be lifted high above all the earth and will be glorified and made known to all men alike. They will know of me, but not know me. They will hear me, but not heed me. Only those whose love I know will know me. Only to them will I reveal more of me than what I already have revealed. Are you one of those whose love I know? Are you one of those whom I know? Come to me, draw near to me and I will reveal myself to you. Come to me and drink of me and I will refresh you with living water that will never run dry, that will never quit flowing into you and through you. I am the source of all things and I give my life to you and through you for others to drink of and know me through. I will reveal myself to those who seek me, to those who long for me, to those whose love I know. Love with my love, hope with my hope, rejoice with my joy for all things come from me and through me. Into me let yourself fall. Into me let yourself be and remain there all your days. Let me live through you. Together as one as I have meant it to be. Let us together be in intimacy and unity. I will reveal myself in ways never known before and I will show myself true and holy backing up the words of my servants which I give them to speak in my Name. My name will be lifted in praise once again and all nations will see my glory for my son's sake. Once again will His name be made holy and known throughout the world it was given to to save. For my son's name saves. In Him there is life. Life that is found in no other. I have given that to him for what he has done for me in obedience on the cross. His love matches mine for you, but I have rewarded him highly for his obedience to me in these things. The world can be saved through his name and his alone. And when you come to him, you find me there also and know me as you never can without coming through Him first. Understand? The Spirit draws all men to me and causes my love to be revealed to them. He gives himself for this purpose that men may know me through the work of my Son. I give him freely to all who ask for him and he guides them to further know me. I love all men and desire none to perish, but so that my Son's work is not spat upon I require all to come through him in order to find me. This is not selfish or narrow-minded of me, this is how I have ordered things to be so that all may know my glory and be glorified in me. I share myself with those who follow this path and they will be the ones who will be found in me and who will bear the fruit I desire and live a life which pleases me. I desire all to be found in me. But they must first go through my son or his work would be undone. Love is the name of me and is what I give. Be found in it.

Ezekiel 33:1-22

"The word of the LORD came to me: O Mortal, speak to your people and say to them, If I bring the sword upon a land, and the people of the land take one of their number as their sentinel; and if the sentinel sees the sword coming upon the land and blows the trumpet and warns the people; then if any who hear the sound of the trumpet do not take warning, and the sword comes and takes them away, their blood shall be upon their own heads. They heard the sound of the trumpet and did not take warning; their blood shall be upon themselves. But if they had taken warning, they would have saved their lives. But if the sentinel sees the sword coming and does not blow the trumpet, so that the people are not warned, and the sword comes and takes any of them, they are taken away in their iniquity, but their blood I will require at the sentinel's hand.

So you, mortal, I have made a sentinel for the house of Israel; whenever you hear a word from my mouth, you shall give them warning from me. If I say to the wicked, 'O wicked ones, you shall surely die,' and you do not speak to warn the wicked to turn from their ways, the wicked shall die in their iniquity, but their blood I will require at your hand. But if you warn the wicked to turn from their ways, and they do not turn from their ways, the wicked shall die in their iniquity, but you will have saved your life.

Now you, mortal, say to the house of Israel, Thus you have said: 'Our transgressions and our sins weigh upon us, and we waste away because of them; how then can we live?' Say to them, As I live, says the Lord GOD, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but that the wicked turn from their ways and live; turn back, turn back from your evil ways; for why will you die, O house of Israel? And you, mortal, say to your people, The righteousness of the righteous shall not save them when they transgress; and as for the wickedness of the wicked, it shall not make them stumble when they turn from their wickedness; and the righteous shall not be able to live by their righteousness when they sin. Though I say to the righteous that they shall surely live, yet if they trust in their righteousness and commit iniquity, none of their righteous deeds shall be remembered; but in the iniquity that they have committed they shall die. Again, though I say to the wicked, 'You shall surely die,' yet if they turn from their sin and do what is lawful and right- if the wicked restore the pledge, give back what they have taken by robbery, and walk in the statutes of life, committing no iniquity - they shall surely live, they shall not die. None of the sins that they have committed shall be remembered against them; they have done what is lawful and right, they shall surely live.

Yet your people say, 'The way of the Lord is not just,' when it is their own way that is not just. When the righteous turn from their righteousness, and commit iniquity, they shall die for it. And when the wicked turn from their wickedness, and do what is lawful and right, they shall live by it. Yet you say, 'The way of the Lord is not just.' O house of Israel, I will judge all of you according to your ways!"

Zephaniah 1:14-2:7

"The great day of the LORD is near, near and hastening fast; the sound of the day of the LORD is bitter, the warrior cries aloud there. That day will be a day of wrath, a day of distress and anguish, a day of ruin and devastation, a day of darkness and gloom, a day of clouds and thick darkness, a day of trumpet blast and battle cry against the fortified cities and against the lofty battlements.

I will bring such distress upon people that they shall walk like the blind; because they have sinned against the LORD, their blood shall be poured out like dust, and their flesh like dung. Neither their silver nor their gold will be able to save them on the day of the LORD's wrath; in the fire of his passion the whole earth shall be consumed; for a full, a terrible end he will make of all the inhabitants of the earth.

Gather together, gather, O shameless nation, before you are driven away like the drifting chaff, before there comes upon you the fierce anger of the LORD, before there comes upon you the day of the LORD's wrath. Seek the LORD, all you humble of the land, who do his commands; seek righteousness, seek humility; perhaps you may be hidden on the day of the LORD's wrath. For Gaza shall be deserted, and Ashkelon shall become a desolation; Ashdod's people shall be driven out at noon, and Ekron shall be uprooted.

Ah, inhabitants of the seacoast, you nation of the Cherethites! The word of the LORD is against you, O Canaan, land of the Philistines; and I will destroy you until no inhabitant is left. And you, O seacoast, shall be pastures, meadows for shepherds and folds for flocks. The seacoast shall become the possession of the remnant of the house of Judah, on which they shall pasture, and in the houses of Ashkelon they shall lie down at evening. For the LORD their God will be mindful of them and restore their fortunes."

Ezekiel 37:15-28

"The word of the LORD came to me: Mortal, take a stick and write on it, 'For Judah, and the Israelites associated with it'; then take another stick and write on it, 'For Joseph (the stick of Ephraim) and all the house of Israel associated with it'; and join them together into one stick, so that they may become one in your hand. And when your people say to you, 'Will you not show us what you mean by these?' say to them, Thus says the Lord GOD: I am about to take the stick of Joseph (which is in the hand of Ephraim) and the tribes of Israel associated with it; and I will put the stick of Judah upon it, and make them one stick, in order that they may be one in my hand. When the sticks on which you write are in your hand before their eyes, then say to them, Thus says the Lord GOD: I will take the people of Israel from the nations among which they have gone, and will gather them from every quarter, and bring them to their own land. I will make them one nation in the land, on the mountains of Israel; and one king shall be king over them all. Never again shall they be two nations, and never again shall they be divided into two kingdoms. They shall never again defile themselves with their idols and their detestable things, or with any of their transgressions. I will save them from all the apostasies into which they have fallen, and will cleanse them. Then they shall be my people, and I will be their God.

My servant David shall be king over them; and they shall follow my ordinances and be careful to observe my statutes. They shall live in the land that I gave to my servant Jacob, in which your ancestors lived; they and their children and their children's children shall live there forever; and my servant David shall be their prince forever. I will make a covenant of peace with them; it shall be an everlasting covenant with them; and I will bless them and multiply them, and will set my sanctuary among them forevermore. My dwelling place shall be with them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. Then the nations shall know that I the LORD sanctify Israel, when my sanctuary is among them forevermore."

I saw the heavens opened and the stars falling out one by one. I saw the heavens roll back and the Son of Man revealed in His glory and the angels singing His praises as He rode to the earth on a white horse, ready for the battle at hand. I saw the residents of the earth moaning and screaming for shame at the realization as Truth was revealed. I saw the saints of God worshiping Him as He rode to greet them. Praise be Your Name! Praise be to the holiest One, the Mightiest Name, the End of all things and the Beginning of all new ones. Praise be to the God of Heaven and earth who reigns forever with a mighty hand, who stretches out His arm in power and might and works for those who love Him. Praise be to the God of all, the end-all of all things. Praise be to His Name forever, throughout all days, and throughout all eternity. Praise be to the Holy One who reigns on high and to His Son who died that we might live! Praise be to God our Father who reigns in heaven and orchestrates all things forever. Praise be His Name. Praise to the holy One of Israel!

And then I saw the battle commence and the saints victorious against the Evil one. Then all rose to heaven amidst a triumphant shout of praise. The holy ones of God were victorious, powered by His hand and His Name. It wasn't just He that won the battle, but it was Him working through His saints as well. His Bride and He as one, victorious over the evil one. And that is the day of the saints in the day of the Lord.

What is it to speak your name,
proclaim your love,
pronounce the Kingdom that is to come?

What is it to know you for all eternity,
surrounded by your love,
with a fulfilled destiny?

What is it like to know you here,
to know your ways,
to shed your tears?

To feel your heartbeat within mine?
To feel the depths from which you cry
out to the world to see.
Come and know me!

What is it to feel your love warming my bones,
your healing warmth down into my toes?

What is it like to share your love,
to bring hope to those who've never had none?

What is it like for your power to flow,
restoring those who need a home?

What is it like to have you as a friend,
and to know that it's a dream
that will never end?

What is it like to know you through the storm,
and to know that you wait
to meet those who've been torn?

What is it like to know you?
To have you and to hold you?
To call you as my friend,
and know your love will never end?

What is it like, may I ask,
to have an answer that will last?

A truth to hold onto.
A God who knows my name.
A Kingdom to belong to.
To know the One who reigns.

What is it like?
