Jeremiah 1:10 See, I have this day set you over the nations and over the kingdoms,
To root out and to pull down,
To destroy and to throw down,
To build and to plant.”
11 Moreover the word of the LORD came to me, saying, “Jeremiah, what do you see?”
And I said, “I see a branch of an almond tree.”
As I wrote 42 days ago, one of my wife’s recent Spiritual occurrences has been tied to Aaron’s rod that budded almonds. She heard two creaking sounds in the house late one night. The sounds were as an old door or lid was opening or closing. Afterward FATHER lead me to the understanding of what she heard, I believe one of the sounds is tied to Aaron’s rod. Recall that during the dedication of Solomon’s Temple, Aaron’s rod and the omer of manna was not in the ark:
1 Kings 8:9 Nothing was in the ark except the two tablets of stone which Moses put there at Horeb, when the LORD made a covenant with the children of Israel, when they came out of the land of Egypt.
Aaron’s rod and the omer of manna have been hidden ever since. Both articles have been reserved in a separate “box” until now. I believe my wife heard the second box being opened. This is based on the fact that FATHER specifically had me share this occurrence with a man named Samuel. It turns out that he had been given a dream several years ago concerning a box in an attic. In the dream, Jesus took him up into the attic and opened the box. It had not been opened for an extremely long time and it creaked as He opened it. Inside were the two items missing from the ark: Aaron’s rod and the omer of manna.
The second creaking noise is believed to be a door shutting that has been open for a long time. I believe this door is the determining factor to those who have been called and chosen into the first squadron or group. When this door shuts, the selection is complete. I believe the almond is tied directly to the revelation of Love for the almond looks like an eye. The almond was included in the ornate structure of the lampstand that FATHER instructed the artisans to form.
Dr. Stephen Jones appropriately describes the lampstand:
“We took note that the Candlestick in the tabernacle had 22 almonds on it (Ex. 25:33, 34). Each of the 6 branches had 3 almond bowls, but the 7th (center) branch had 4. So 6 x 3 = 18 on the six branches, plus 4 on the central branch brings 22 almonds in all.
22 almonds on 7 branches, of course, is a mathematical representation of pi, which is 22/7, or 3.14. It is the same revelation found on the 8th day of Tabernacles, which always falls on the 22nd day of the 7th month (Hebrew calendar).
Pi is the 16th letter of the Greek alphabet and has a numerical value of 70. It is the numerical equivalent of the Hebrew letter ayin, which also has a numeric value of 70. The ayin literally means an "eye," and was originally written in the shape of an almond with a dot in the middle.”
The number 16 is associated with Love and FATHER has interwoven the light of the lampstand with the almond and Love. Aaron’s rod is tied specifically to the power and authority to root out, pull down, destroy, throw down, to build and to plant. Judgment is at hand and the Kingdom will come forth quickly. Why quickly? Consider Aaron’s rod when FATHER confirmed who had the power and authority:
Numbers 17:8 Now it came to pass on the next day that Moses went into the tabernacle of witness, and behold, the rod of Aaron, of the house of Levi, had sprouted and put forth buds, had produced blossoms and yielded ripe almonds.
Buds, blossoms, and ripe almonds… the natural time of sowing and reaping was shortened. Aaron’s rod had all three phases of growth on it at the same time. The work at hand will be a quick work and we have been alerted by the sound of the box opening. The exposing of the power and authority is now before us. Be alert and do not grow weary in well doing.
Let this 2nd writing on Aaron’s rod cause you to focus on hearing FATHER even to a greater degree and intensity.
