Then the word of the LORD came to me, asking, “What do you see, Jeremiah?”. I replied, “I see a branch of an almond tree.” The LORD said to me, “You have seen correctly, for I watch over My word to accomplish it.” Again the word of the LORD came to me inquiring, “What do you see?” And I replied, “I see a boiling pot, its lip tilted from the north to the south.” Then the LORD said to me, “Disaster will be poured out from the north on all who live in the land”. – Jeremiah 1:11-14
The Lord asks “Jeremiah, what do you see?” twice. These two visions are concerning the same season.
When the Lord asks “Jeremiah, what do you see?” – He sees an almond tree. Almond tree is the first tree to blossom in Israel. The very first tree to announce the arrival of spring. The almond tree is the first sign of the beginning of a new season and signifies the arrival of new season. We are also entering the end-time season and God is showing His end time signs to his chosen prophets.
When the Lord asks “Jeremiah, what do you see?” – He sees a boiling pot, its lip tilted from the north to the south. Boiling pot is the land of Israel / church itself which is boiling. The pot / church is under the fire of God. Boiling is the rapid vaporization of a liquid, which occurs when a liquid is heated to its boiling point. The boiling point of water is 100 °C or 212 °F. Boiling water is used as a method of making it potable by killing microbes and viruses that may be present. The pot is heated by the fire of God, it starts boiling until it reaches the boiling point where impurities and microbes are destroyed. There are two aspects
1) The boiling pot is tilted towards North. God has tilted the church towards the north and is allowing disaster to come forth from the North. God sends a heathen king to expose the wickedness, wrongdoing, and deliver God’s judgement on the land. God is sending a heathen king to expose the church’s transgressions if there are any.
2) Church becomes the pot which is boiling under the fire of God – All doctrines, preaching, activities will be in boiled in the fire of God until all impurities and microbes have been eradicated and will be in a potable / consumable state. The church will be lit by the fire of God until it reaches a boiling point. There is no mixture at the boiling point. At Boiling point, the self-nature is destroyed and only the Divine nature remains. All these years of struggle with coexistence of both natures is gone. It will now only be God’s nature. As boiling process of reaching boiling point happens rapidly, the process of destruction of self happens rapidly. The church prepared under the fire of God is a pure work of God.
The boiling pot is tilted towards North
Disaster will be poured out from the north on all who live in the land. God’s burning anger came on the Land. Disaster is come in the form of heathen King- Nebuchadnezzar. This heathen king attacked, surrounded and destroyed Jerusalem.
As we are entering the season of beginning of end times, the days of repentance for churches who practise false doctrines, miracles are over. God’s wrath is approaching these churches. They have been manipulating their evil for years by performing fraudulent miracles and teaching deceptive beliefs. God is sending heathen reporters to expose the wrongdoings in the churches. They will expose all immoral rituals, offerings, and teachings and occasionally cause disaster.
This is the time of shaking as lot of churches with wrong practises will be exposed. To purge them of impurities and to chastise them, God is giving these churches into the hands of heathens. We will see major church scandals uncovered.
Church becomes the boiling pot
All these previous years the church could have been a pot with stale doctrines and without the fire of God. We have entered a season where the church is being cooked by God’s fire until everything of self is destroyed. As boiling is the rapid vaporization of a liquid, God is rapidly doing this work i.e. destruction of self. With Fire of God, this is a season of continuous refinement. Under this Fire of God, God’s end-time church is being readied. Every doctrine, sermon, and activity from this point forward shall be boiled in the fire of God until all impurities and microorganisms are eliminated and it is in a potable/consumable state. Up until the boiling point, the pot will continue to boil. Until the self and selfish deeds are destroyed, the pot will continue to boil. Once the self is destroyed, the church is prepared completely. The church will be made the bride of Christ and end time army of God. This fire is first a correcting/realigning fire and then a revelation fire.
The characteristics of the realigning fire
1) Turn all fleshly worship to divine worship
2) Change message without Jesus’s nature to message with only Jesus
3) Man pleasing attitude to God pleasing attitude
The characteristics of the Revelation fire
1) New Revelation about Jesus which was burning for thousands of years will be revealed.
2) In this fire, existing insight about Jesus is made pure.
3) Fresh outpouring of the Holy Spirit
Heathen’s will expose the impurities and parallelly God’s continuous correction/refinement will come upon the church making the church to become the bride of Christ. God is up to something that is very big.
Let God help you to perceive the end time work of God.
