Holy Spirit Said R-U-B-I-N PORT


Around 6:10-20 am, on 08 AUG 2019, Holy Spirit woke me up saying "RUBIN PORT", then Holy Spirit emphasized the name R-U-B-I-N by visually spelling it out to me.

Reuben (ˈruːbɪn): After the Exodus out of Egypt, Joshua led the Israelites into the Promised Land and divided the territory among the 12 tribes. The tribe of Reuben settled east of the Dead Sea in the same general area occupied by the tribe of Gad and played a secondary role in the history of the Jewish people. After the death of King Solomon (922 BC), the 10 northern tribes formed the Kingdom of Israel under Jeroboam I, that in 721 BC fell to Assyrian conquerors. In time these northern tribes lost their identity through assimilation with other peoples, and thus the tribe of Reuben became known in legend as one of the Ten Lost Tribes of Israel.

Israeli Independence - The United Nations approved a plan to partition Palestine into a Jewish and Arab state in 1947, but the Arabs rejected it. In May 1948, Israel was officially declared an independent state with David Ben-Gurion, the head of the Jewish Agency, as the prime minister.

ERETZ YISRAEL (Hebrew, meaning "land of Israel") Expression used to designate the land of Israel, as it was promised by God to the Jewish people, according to Biblical tradition. Geographically this territory corresponds to the Kingdom of Solomon, which extended from Dan, north of Tiberias, to Beersheba in the south.  After the creation of the State of Israel in May 1948, this notion of a "Greater Israel" became the central theme of the political program of Israeli nationalist extremist movements. To them, Eretz Yisrael stretches from the Jordan River to the Mediterranean.

Eretz or Aretz (Hebrew: ארץ) is Hebrew for "land" (with the definite article, Ha Aretz (Hebrew: הארץ "the land") In particular, it may refer to: HaAretz HaMuvtahat, the "Promised Land" Eretz Israel, the Land of Israel.

Israel will always be the Holy Land because it will always be the stage, set apart from all other places, where God saved the world.

What is so special about Eretz Yisrael - Many of the 613 mitzvot are connected with Eretz Yisrael, e.g. Tithes, the Shmittah [Sabbatical year when the land lies fallow], worshipping and sacrifices in the Temple etc. Eretz Yisrael has a special kedushah — holiness — so much so, that one who lives there may only leave for a very good reason, e.g. to marry a wife or to learn Torah. Many great Jews kissed the land upon entering.  It is a mitzvah to live in Eretz Yisrael. Those who live in the Diaspora should support the needy in Eretz Yisrael. Going to live in Israel is called going on Aliyah.  Chabad.org

We can worship God from anywhere, but you will never worship him in the same way after going to the Land of Promise. 

PORT - A place where ships may ride secure from storms; a sheltered inlet, bay, or cove; a harbor; a haven. Used also figuratively. "Port" in the sense of "gate" (of a city or building) is obsolete in modern English, and even in the King James Version is found only in Nehemiah 2:13 - And I went out by night by the gate of the valley, even before the dragon well, and to the dung port, and viewed the walls of Jerusalem, which were broken down, and the gates thereof were consumed with fire.  (KJV WBS) 

Israel is the grand theater of God’s redemptive play.

He Hideth My Soul in the Cleft of My Rock


While praying for family, Holy Spirit showed me a vision of water going into a rock and I knew they were safe in Him.  

II Samuel 22:2:  “And he said, The LORD [is] my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer;”

HEBREW WORD – THE CLEFT OF THE ROCK – SELA’  סלע

Sela’ is a cleft or an opening made a by a split in the mountain.  It was one of the safest places to hide in early times.  The word for fortress is matsud which has its origins in the word for a prey and one that is hunted or being chased.  The word eventually took on the idea of a fortress for the one being chased will seek a sela’ or a fortress.  So the Lord is a sela’ for the matsud that is the Lord is the fortress in the cleft of the rock for those being pursued or hunted.

Then finally God is the Deliverer.  The one being hunted or pursued not only finds God to be a fortress in the cleft of the rock or sela’ but He will also deliver you from those that are pursuing you.  The word deliverer is palat which is a word that is used for one who helps another person escape from a prison. God not only hides us in the cleft of the rock but when the danger is passed He will lead us out of that secure place into a place of safety.

Song of Solomon 2:14 [ (The Bridegroom) ] “O my dove, [here] in the clefts in the rock, In the sheltered and secret place of the steep pathway, Let me see your face, Let me hear your voice; For your voice is sweet, And your face is lovely.”

PRAYER:  Father, you alone are my Strength, my Rock, my Fortress, my Deliverer and my Shield. Jesus, You revealed the love of God to me and You are my peace. Your Word declares that my enemies will not triumphant over me. When my ways are pleasing to you, Lord, you make my enemies to be at peace with me. Lord, you are my Shepherd who prepares a table of abundance for me in the presence of my enemies, in the name of Jesus. Amen.   Deuteronomy 28:7; Psalm 18; Psalm 23:5; Proverbs 16:7  

A wonderful Saviour is Jesus my Lord
A wonderful Saviour to me
He hideth my soul in the cleft of the rock
Where rivers of pleasure I see

He hideth my soul in the cleft of the rock
That shadows a dry, thirsty land
He hideth my life in the depths of his love
And covers me there with his hand
And covers me there with his hand

A wonderful Saviour is Jesus my Lord
He taketh my burden away
He holdelth me up and I shall not be moved
He giveth me strength as my day

He hideth my soul in the cleft of the rock
That shadows a dry, thirsty land
He hideth my life in the depths of his love
And covers me there with his hand
and covers me there with his hand

When clothed in His brightness 
Transported I rise
To meet Him in Clouds of the sky
His perfect salvation
His wonderful love
I'll shout with the millions on high

He hideth my soul in the cleft of the rock
That shadows a dry, thirsty land
He hideth my life in the depths of his love
And covers me there with his hand
And covers me there with his hand
