Multitudes in the Valley of Decision.....

Calling for Passover Prayer Surge 2015

Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision: for the day of the LORD is near in
the valley of decision. The sun and the moon shall be darkened, and the stars shall
withdraw their shining. Yahweh also shall roar out of Zion, and utter his voice from
Jerusalem; and the heavens and the earth shall shake: but Yahweh will be the hope of his
people, and the strength of the children of Israel. Joel 3: 14-16
From these verses, we see that there are two signs that the day of the Lord is near:
*Multitudes will be brought to a "valley of decision" where a monumental decision is to be
made
*At the time this decision is being made, a sign will be seen in the sun AND the moon; they
will be darkened.
These two signposts, when they happen in close proximity to each other, this is a big sign
telling us that the day of the Lord is NEAR.
Yahweh warns us that He will judge the nations for dividing the land of Israel:
Behold, in those days, and in that time, when I shall bring again the captivity of Judah and
Jerusalem, I will also gather all nations, and will bring them down into the valley of
Jehoshaphat, and will plead with them there for my people and for my heritage Israel,
whom they have scattered among the nations, and divided my land. Joel 3: 1-2
What is this "valley of decision" about?
The decision is this: whether to divide the land of Israel in order to create a full member
Palestinian state....or not.

There is an election coming up in Israel on 3/17/15. These elections are like no other
elections. Why are these elections so significant?
Multitudes of people in Israel will be in this "valley of decision" on 3/17/15 as they choose
between two possible futures:
*a future secular Zion that aligns with the Two state solution or
*a future biblical Zion that aligns with and embraces the Abrahamic covenant; that the
land is to remain forever undivided and forever in the possession of Yahweh and His people.
Are the voters going to choose the path of secular Zion, the path of a two state solution as
Yitzhak Herzog and Tzipi Livni are championing?
Or, will the voters choose a Prime Minister leader and a coalition government that embraces
the original Abrahamic covenant: that this is land that has been given to Abraham and to
his seed forever? Will they, by faith, align with and embrace the covenant given to
Abraham?

What is the Abrahamic covenant? It is spoken of repeatedly in the scriptures:

I will make you a great nation;
I will bless you
And make your name great;
And you shall be a blessing. Gen 12: 1-2
Yahweh appeared to Abram and said, "To your offspring I will give this land." Gen 12:7
Also I give to you and your descendants after you the land in which you are a stranger,
all the land of Canaan, as an everlasting possession; and I will be their Elohim. Gen 17:8
And behold, Yahweh stood above it and said: I am Yahweh, the Elohim of Abraham your
father and the Elohim of Isaac; the land on which you lie I will give to you and your
descendants. Gen 35:12
So, Israel, as a nation, will be part of the "multitudes, multitudes" in the valley of decision
when they go to the polls on March 17, 2015 and cast their vote and chart the course for
the future direction of their nation.

There will be more multitudes in this valley of decision soon after the Israeli elections. The UN Security
Council will be considering the same decision: whether to divide the land of Israel in order to declare
and decree a full member Palestinian state....or not. There are at least two UN Security Council
resolutions that will soon be considered and voted upon sometime after the Israeli elections.
There is another resolution for a Palestinian state is currently in the works and is being
brought forward by France. This new resolution could be heard and voted on by the UN
Security Council sometime shortly AFTER the Israel elections. And so, there are yet more
"multitudes, multitudes" in the valley of decision, as the nations of the world come together
to consider this decision, to divide the land of Israel.....or not.
Let me come back to the key verse that opened up this article:
Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision: for the day of the LORD is near in the valley
of decision. The sun and the moon shall be darkened, and the stars shall withdraw their
shining. The LORD also shall roar out of Zion, and utter his voice from Jerusalem; and the
heavens and the earth shall shake: but the LORD will be the hope of his people, and the
strength of the children of Israel. Joel 3: 14-16
We have seen that the multitudes who are valley of decision has to do with the decision to
divide the land of Israel. The other sign that is associated with this "valley of decision" is
that the sun AND the moon shall be darkened.
Did you know that only three days after the Israeli elections, on March 20th, there is a total
solar eclipse?
And then, two weeks after that, we have the THIRD of the four blood moon tetrads; a total
lunar eclipse, happening not just on any random day, but on Passover/Pesach, April 4th,
2015.
The eclipse will last for 3 hours and 29 mins from beginning to end. The moon will be totally
eclipsed (totality) for about 5 minutes. At North American time zones, that means the
greatest eclipse happens before sunrise on April 4, at: 7:00 a.m. Central time, and 5:00
a.m. Pacific time.

The table below summarizes this "valley of decision" and the events that are soon coming
upon us:
Verse
Multitudes in the valley of decision
(Joel 3:14)

Event that may be fulfilling the verse

Israel voting on 3/17/15; cross roads decision
point; The election pivots around this central
issue: to divide or not to divide the land

Multitudes in the valley of decision

(Joel 3:14)

UN Security Council to consider and decide

whether to divide the land to form a Palestinian
state (sometime after the Israeli elections)

Sun is darkened (Joel 3:15)

Total Solar eclipse on 3/20/15

Moon is darkened (Joel 3:15)

Blood moon eclipse on 4/4/14, Passover

What does all of this mean? What the passage in Joel 3:14-16 is telling us is this: when
you see all of these things lining up: when you see multitudes in the valley of decision, and
when you see a darkened sun AND a darkened moon, THEN these are signposts to let us
know that the day of the LORD is NEAR!

The decision, why is it so monumental? What is it all about?

Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision
The word, decision, used in this verse is:

charuwts (khaw-roots') (or charuts {khaw-roots'}) prt.

1. (properly) incised or (active) incisive
2. hence (as noun masculine or feminine) a trench (as dug), gold (as mined), a threshing-sledge
(having sharp teeth)
This is a "decision" that involves an instrument of "cutting"; the hebrew word is charuwts
and it means a threshing-sledge (having sharp teeth).
This is a decision about where we stand. It is a decision about whether we stand with
Esau, who sold off his birthright for a bowl of soup.... Will we do the same? Sell off our
inheritance land to the Palestinians in order to curry favor with the nations? Or, do we stand
with Jacob and his seed?
It is a decision about whether we stand at Mount Sinai, where the torah was given on
stone tablets. If we stand at the base of that mountain, we are walking in the flesh, we are
standing in our own self righteousness. We are more concerned about being "right" on our
doctrine, and we stick to the "letter" of the law/torah. If we find ourselves there, spiritually
standing at Mount Sinai, we need to go through a circumcision of the heart, using the
charuwts; we need to use the instrument of cutting to cut and circumcise our flesh. Though painful,
it is necessary.
Or, instead, do we stand at Mount Zion, where we walk in the spirit of the law/torah?
This is a place where the torah has been engraved upon the tablet of our heart. (see Jer.
31:31-33) Those who stand at the base of this mountain focus on the weightier matters of
torah, to love Yahweh with all our heart, mind, soul and strength and love our neighbor as
ourself.
It is a decision about whether we will be found as wheat.....or as tares. The wheat
will be bowed over in humility, heavy laden with the fruit of the wheat. The tares will stand
tall, proud, self righteous. Remember, in the parable of the wheat and tares, the servant
asked the owner of the field if he should go and gather up the tares that were growing
beside the wheat. The owner of the field replied thus:

But he said, No, lest while you gather up the tares you also uproot the wheat with them. Let both grow
together until the harvest, and at the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, First gather together the
tares and bind them in bundles to burn them, but gather the wheat into my barn. Matthew 13:30

The charuwts, the instrument of cutting/threshing tool will be used to cut down the wheat and tares,
and then they will be sorted out.

It is a decision about whether we will be found as a sheep...or as a goat.

All the nations will be gathered before Him, and He will separate them one from another, as a shepherd
divides his sheep from the goats. And He will set the sheep on His right hand, but the goats on the left.
Matthew 25: 32-33

The heavens and the earth shall shake

Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision: for the day of the LORD is near in the valley
of decision. The sun and the moon shall be darkened, and the stars shall withdraw their
shining. The LORD also shall roar out of Zion, and utter his voice from Jerusalem; and the
heavens and the earth shall shake: but the LORD will be the hope of his people, and the
strength of the children of Israel. Joel 3: 14-16
Now let's add it all up. When we see multitudes in the valley of decision, when we see that
both the sun AND the moon is darkened, then we know that the day of the Lord is near.
And the heavens and the earth shall shake. What is this shaking? If we go to Hebrews 12:
25-29, we learn more about this shaking:

Hebrews 12:25-29
See that you do not refuse Him who speaks. For if they did not escape who refused Him
who spoke on earth, much more shall we not escape if we turn away from Him who speaks
from heaven, whose voice then shook the earth; but now He has promised, saying, Yet
once more I shake not only the earth, but also heaven. Now this, Yet once more,
indicates the removal of those things that are being shaken, as of things that are made,
that the things which cannot be shaken may remain. Therefore, since we are receiving
a kingdom which cannot be shaken, let us have grace, by which we may serve God
acceptably with reverence and godly fear.
A shaking is coming. Anyone who is standing at Mt Sinai, who is walking in the flesh, who is
of the Esau nature, who is a goat and who is a tare, that foundation that they are standing
upon will be demolished and destroyed.
Those who are standing at Mt Zion, and who are walking in the spirit, they will be unshaken,
because they stand, by faith, in an invisible, everlasting kingdom, the kindgom of Yahweh.
They will remain. Those of us who stand at Mount Zion will find deliverance there.

This is a spiritual shaking that is coming. It is a separating of sheep and goats, a dividing
between wheat and tares, and a cutting between the flesh and spirit. The word of Yahweh
DIVIDES between the soul and the spirit, it CUTS and CIRCUMCISES the flesh.
For the word of Yahweh is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword,
piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner
of the thoughts and intents of the heart. Hebrews 4:12
Those who stand at Mount Zion will find deliverance, protection, safety, and refuge there
during the "day of the Lord":
For the day of the LORD upon all the nations is near;
As you have done, it shall be done to you;
Your reprisal shall return upon your own head.
For as you drank on My holy mountain,
So shall all the nations drink continually;

Yes, they shall drink, and swallow,

And they shall be as though they had never been.
But on Mount Zion there shall be deliverance,
And there shall be holiness;
The house of Jacob shall possess their possessions.
Obadiah 15-17
In light of all these issues that have been outlined above, in light of the momentous "valley
of decision" that the nations, the peoples, and the tribes are now standing in, we are calling
for another "Passover Prayer Surge" to "unite our hearts together to pray" for Israel.
We are calling all intercessors to be as spiritual midwives and to go to the Labor room of
heaven, even as Esther did, to stand in the gap for the nation and people of Israel. We are
calling for an all night Prayer watch on the night of Passover, to watch and pray over Israel
on this most significant night.
We encourage all who participate in this Passover Prayer surge to first KEEP the Passover
covenant meal in your home or with your fellowship, and then, AFTER the meal, participate
in the all night prayer watch over Israel.
Prayer points:
*Repentance: identificational repentance on behalf of those people in Israel who are willing
to divide the land of Israel to make a Palestinian state, who are embracing a two state
solution. Repent on their behalf because they are renouncing the Abrahamic covenant, and
have lack of faith in Yahweh to fullfill this covenant.
*Repentance over the sin in the land; Tel Aviv has one of the highest abortion rates in the
world. International Gay pride parade is hosted in Tel Aviv. Repentance over the "religious
spirit" stronghold in the land.
*Prayer covering over persecuted Jews, Christians, and Messianics in the Middle East and
throughout Europe, including France, Germany, the UK. Comfort for those who have lost
loved ones. Prayer that the martyr's blood that has been spilled will only further the
kingdom of Yahweh.
*Prayer of protection over the nation of Israel, against her enemies who wish to destroy
her, including ISIS, Hamas, Hezbollah, Iran, Muslim Brotherhood. Many names, same root
enemy: the Esau nation (Palestinian state) wants to abort and kill the Jacob nation.
*Prayer cover over IDF/IAF, soldiers who are in harms way while they patrol borders,
protect the citizens, rout out terrorist plots and plans.
*Prayer cover over the newly forming government; coalition is now beginning to form, pray
for Abba's hand to guide that process.
*Prayer cover for the "governors of Judah"; those Jews who embrace the Abrahamic
covenant, who refuse to divide the land; they need much wisdom, discernment, courage
and boldness. Pray that they will be given Yahweh's plan, and will execute that plan in His
perfect timing. (see Zechariah 12:6, Obadiah 17-18)
