As The Waters Fill The Sea, The Earth Will Be Filled With An Awareness Of The Glory Of The Lord
He Saved The Best Till Last
HABAKKUK 2:9-14
“”Woe to him who covets evil gain for his house, That he may set his nest on high, That he may be delivered from the power of disaster! You give shameful counsel to your house, Cutting off many peoples, And sin against your soul. For the stone will cry out from the wall, And the beam from the timbers will answer it. “Woe to him who builds a town with bloodshed, Who establishes a city by iniquity! Behold, is it not of the LORD of hosts That the peoples labor to feed the fire, And nations weary themselves in vain? For the earth will be filled With the knowledge of the glory of the LORD, As the waters cover the sea.
”Habakkuk 2:9-14 NKJV

Many people of status, celebrities, world leaders in both governments, and the church, gained their riches and power, as did Babylon, by the misfortunes of others. But like Babylon, these riches only fuel fire for the fire.
The victims back then would cry out against Babylon for justice and the same is happening today. People are waking up to the truth.
Money in its self is not evil, but however, God condemns the love of money. “For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil, for which some have strayed from the faith in their greediness, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.”
I Timothy 6:10 NKJV
Today, we are living in a very dark world, where money and power have dragged many into the pit of sin.
But the truth is, God’s light shines in the darkness and true Justice will come; “And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.”
John 1:5 NKJV
My brethren, all people are to face the consequences of their actions, both good and evil.
God is separating the chaff from the wheat (see MATHEW 3:12)-removing the corrupt from their high seats, and will restore to those, that which was stolen from them. “For the earth will be filled With the knowledge of the glory of the LORD, As the waters cover the sea. “Woe to him who gives drink to his neighbor, Pressing him to your bottle, Even to make him drunk, That you may look on his nakedness! You are filled with shame instead of glory. You also—drink! And be exposed as uncircumcised! The cup of the LORD’s right hand will be turned against you, And utter shame will be on your glory. For the violence done to Lebanon will cover you, And the plunder of beasts which made them afraid, Because of men’s blood And the violence of the land and the city, And of all who dwell in it. “What profit is the image, that its maker should carve it, The molded image, a teacher of lies, That the maker of its mold should trust in it, To make mute idols? Woe to him who says to wood, ‘Awake!’ To silent stone, ‘Arise! It shall teach!’ Behold, it is overlaid with gold and silver, Yet in it there is no breath at all. “But the LORD is in His holy temple. Let all the earth keep silence before Him.””
Habakkuk 2:14-20 NKJV
My brethren, the Lord is shaking this earth and exposing corruption on a level never seen before.
The liars, the cheats, and the false prophets are about to face the consequences of their actions.
But the Lord has given us ropes to hold onto that we may remain standing throughout the storm, but long enough that the corrupt shall surely hang themselves.
The lies and deceit in this world is being systematically exposed.
Therefore my beloved, hold firm as the Lord shakes His house, for the Lord says, “Fear not, for I am with you; Be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, Yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.’”
Isaiah 41:10 NKJV
In this world today God is closing doors that no one can open and opening doors that no one can shut.
He is bringing change within the body of Christ; closing the old churches put together by the likes of the Pharisees, but birthing the new, moving His servants around, re-locating some and removing others.
The Lord has been preparing His elect for new wine.
But Jesus said, “No one puts a piece of unshrunk cloth on an old garment; for the patch pulls away from the garment, and the tear is made worse. Nor do they put new wine into old wineskins, or else the wineskins break, the wine is spilled, and the wineskins are ruined. But they put new wine into new wineskins, and both are preserved.””
Matthew 9:16-17 NKJV
The first recorded miracle, Jesus turned water into wine.
“On the third day there was a wedding in Cana of Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there. Now both Jesus and His disciples were invited to the wedding. And when they ran out of wine, the mother of Jesus said to Him, “They have no wine.” Jesus said to her, “Woman, what does your concern have to do with Me? My hour has not yet come.” His mother said to the servants, “Whatever He says to you, do it.” Now there were set there six waterpots of stone, according to the manner of purification of the Jews, containing twenty or thirty gallons apiece. Jesus said to them, “Fill the waterpots with water.” And they filled them up to the brim. And He said to them, “Draw some out now, and take it to the master of the feast.” And they took it. When the master of the feast had tasted the water that was made wine, and did not know where it came from (but the servants who had drawn the water knew), the master of the feast called the bridegroom. And he said to him, “Every man at the beginning sets out the good wine, and when the guests have well drunk, then the inferior. You have kept the good wine until now!””
John 2:1-10 NKJV
The first miracle was a sign for such a time as this, for Jesus hour had not come.
The six water pots represent man today.
The old church, empowered by the blood of animals is dead.
But today, the new is here, empowered by the blood of Jesus Christ, the Lamb that was slain (REVELATION 13:8).
This is the new wine, the ministry of Christ Jesus, “And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers, for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ, till we all come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ; that we should no longer be children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, in the cunning craftiness of deceitful plotting, but, speaking the truth in love, may grow up in all things into Him who is the head—Christ— from whom the whole body, joined and knit together by what every joint supplies, according to the effective working by which every part does its share, causes growth of the body for the edifying of itself in love.”
Ephesians 4:11-16 NKJV
What comes with new wine is new freedoms and powers, for the power is in the blood.
Jesus told us back in the times of old, ““Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father. And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask anything in My name, I will do it.”
John 14:12-14 NKJV
He is putting new wine into new skins and both will be preserved. With it shall come new power that shall glorify our Father in heaven and the signs and wonders shall follow.
Jesus said, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned. And these signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues; they will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.””
Mark 16:15-18 NKJV
Jesus hour is is upon us and the new wine is being poured out; the old has gone and the new is here.
With new wine comes new powers, new miracles and revival will come to the church like never before.
Just as Jesus kept the good wine until last in the first miracle, He has kept the best until last for such a time as this.
We are seeing the rise of the new church, with new powers, for the old has gone and the new is here. Revival is inevitable , “For the earth will be filled With the knowledge of the glory of the Lord, As the waters cover the sea.”
Habakkuk 2:14 NKJV
I encourage you again, that even in these uncertain times, where we have faced all kinds of unreasonable rules, restrictions, and mandates, and as we witness the collapsing of our monetary systems businesses, farms, jobs, and health care systems, which are the works of the devil, to repent of the past and stand firm on the promises of God, for He is faithful and true.
“Then the Lord will be zealous for His land, And pity His people. The Lord will answer and say to His people, “Behold, I will send you grain and new wine and oil, And you will be satisfied by them; I will no longer make you a reproach among the nations. “But I will remove far from you the northern army, And will drive him away into a barren and desolate land, With his face toward the eastern sea And his back toward the western sea; His stench will come up, And his foul odor will rise, Because he has done monstrous things.” Fear not, O land; Be glad and rejoice, For the Lord has done marvelous things! Do not be afraid, you beasts of the field; For the open pastures are springing up, And the tree bears its fruit; The fig tree and the vine yield their strength. Be glad then, you children of Zion, And rejoice in the Lord your God; For He has given you the former rain faithfully, And He will cause the rain to come down for you— The former rain, And the latter rain in the first month. The threshing floors shall be full of wheat, And the vats shall overflow with new wine and oil. “So I will restore to you the years that the swarming locust has eaten, The crawling locust, The consuming locust, And the chewing locust, My great army which I sent among you. You shall eat in plenty and be satisfied, And praise the name of the Lord your God, Who has dealt wondrously with you; And My people shall never be put to shame. Then you shall know that I am in the midst of Israel: I am the Lord your God And there is no other. My people shall never be put to shame. “And it shall come to pass afterward That I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh; Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, Your old men shall dream dreams, Your young men shall see visions. And also on My menservants and on My maidservants I will pour out My Spirit in those days. “And I will show wonders in the heavens and in the earth: Blood and fire and pillars of smoke. The sun shall be turned into darkness, And the moon into blood, Before the coming of the great and awesome day of the Lord. And it shall come to pass That whoever calls on the name of the Lord Shall be saved. For in Mount Zion and in Jerusalem there shall be deliverance, As the Lord has said, Among the remnant whom the Lord calls.”
Joel 2:18-32 NKJV
All glory to God forever and ever! Amen.
