I heard the Lord saying,
"To Awaken, to Warn and to Prepare all who will hear
to bless the Church and to comfort Israel."
August 2006



Jeremiah 1:11

The Name?
To "Awaken" those from their slumber, to warn all who will listen and to prepare
ourselves for what is coming and it will come in a very short time.  
"Our lives are about to be radically changed; everything is about to be shaken!”
The time is urgent, awake your house, warn your neighbors,
“It is time to fill your lamps with oil!”

 

Moreover the word of the Lord came to me saying, Jeremiah, what do you see?
And I said, I see a branch / Rod of a almond tree.” Jeremiah 1:11
Rod denotes Authority
 

Almond, Heb shaqed, “the Awakening one”
The Hebrew name of the almond is the “waker”.
 

Its flowers appear at the end of January or beginning of February and
the almond tree is the first of the fruit trees to awake from the winter sleep.

Moreover, the Almond tree comes as a HOPE,
a promise that Spring is quickly approaching, a Hope for the future.

Spring represents Life.............Just as we know that the Words of the Lord
are "Life" to those who will obey!
 

There is another meaning of the Heb. root, which is to hasten.
In the first of the two verses V11, the almond tree is mentioned by its name shaqed,
and in the second V12, it is said “for I am watching My word,
“watching being from the same root as almond." 

 

The Almond tree was chosen by God to symbolize
"His haste in Watching His Word to fulfill His promises!"
