“Glory to the Precious name of our Lord Jesus Christ”

Proverbs 15: 2

The tongue of the wise uses knowledge rightly, but the mouth of fools pours forth foolishness.

May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen

Our future generation, the bride, the church should only be as the servants of the Lord.

My dear brothers and sisters in Christ, in the portion of the Bible that we meditated upon in the past days, we meditated that the rising up of our soul, the bride, the church as the church of God (as the church of glory).

Next what we are meditating upon is that 2 Kings 20: 12 – 21 At that time Berodach-Baladan the son of Baladan, king of Babylon, sent letters and a present to Hezekiah, for he heard that Hezekiah had been sick. 

And Hezekiah was attentive to them and showed them all the house of his treasures—the silver and gold, the spices and precious ointment, and all his armory—all that was found among his treasures. There was nothing in his house or in all his dominion that Hezekiah did not show them.

Then Isaiah the prophet went to King Hezekiah, and said to him, “What did these men say, and from where did they come to you?” So Hezekiah said, “They came from a far country, from Babylon.”

And he said, “What have they seen in your house?” So Hezekiah answered, “They have seen all that is in my house; there is nothing among my treasures that I have not shown them.”

Then Isaiah said to Hezekiah, “Hear the word of the Lord: 

‘Behold, the days are coming when all that is in your house, and what your fathers have accumulated until this day, shall be carried to Babylon; nothing shall be left,’ says the Lord. 

‘And they shall take away some of your sons who will descend from you, whom you will beget; and they shall be eunuchs in the palace of the king of Babylon.’ 

So Hezekiah said to Isaiah, “The word of the Lord which you have spoken is good!” For he said, “Will there not be peace and truth at least in my days?”

Now the rest of the acts of Hezekiah—all his might, and how he made a pool and a tunnel and brought water into the city—are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah? 

So Hezekiah rested with his fathers. Then Manasseh his son reigned in his place.

In the above-mentioned verses, the Lord increased the days of life of Hezekiah, and in the days when he brought the shadow which had gone ten degrees forward to come ten degrees backward, by which it had gone down on the sundial of Ahaz Berodach-Baladan the son of Baladan, king of Babylon, sent letters and a present to Hezekiah, for he heard that Hezekiah had been sick. And Hezekiah was attentive to them and showed them all the house of his treasures—the silver and gold, the spices and precious ointment, and all his armory—all that was found among his treasures. There was nothing in his house or in all his dominion that Hezekiah did not show them. Then Isaiah the prophet went to King Hezekiah, and said to him, “What did these men say, and from where did they come to you?” So Hezekiah said, “They came from a far country, from Babylon.” And he said, “What have they seen in your house?” So Hezekiah answered, “They have seen all that is in my house; there is nothing among my treasures that I have not shown them.” Then Isaiah said to Hezekiah, “Hear the word of the Lord: ‘Behold, the days are coming when all that is in your house, and what your fathers have accumulated until this day, shall be carried to Babylon; nothing shall be left,’ says the Lord. ‘And they shall take away some of your sons who will descend from you, whom you will beget; and they shall be eunuchs in the palace of the king of Babylon.’ So Hezekiah said to Isaiah, “The word of the Lord which you have spoken is good!” For he said, “Will there not be peace and truth at least in my days?” Now the rest of the acts of Hezekiah—all his might, and how he made a pool and a tunnel and brought water into the city—are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?

2 Chronicles 32: 30, 31 This same Hezekiah also stopped the water outlet of Upper Gihon and brought the water by tunnel to the west side of the City of David. Hezekiah prospered in all his works.

However, regarding the ambassadors of the princes of Babylon, whom they sent to him to inquire about the wonder that was done in the land, God withdrew from him, in order to test him, that He might know all that was in his heart.

This same Hezekiah also stopped the water outlet of Upper Gihon and brought the water by tunnel to the west side of the City of David. Hezekiah prospered in all his works. However, regarding the ambassadors of the princes of Babylon, whom they sent to him to inquire about the wonder that was done in the land, God withdrew from him, in order to test him, that He might know all that was in his heart. So Hezekiah rested with his fathers, and they buried him in the upper tombs of the sons of David; and all Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem honored him at his death. Then Manasseh his son reigned in his place.

My dear people, in the above-mentioned verses when the king of Babylon, that is the spirit of the world, the dragon comes to know that we are being changed as the church of God, as the church of glory, as the palace of God, that is the house of God then he comes to steal the spiritual goodness which are there in our soul and when he comes in this manner we must be very careful. That is, the blessings that the Lord is giving us we must not reveal it to anyone, and it is not his will, and we must realize this. This is because the word of the Lord says that a fool reveals everything that is in his heart. But the wise hides them behind his back. When we see here, Hezekiah is revealing everything to the king of Babylon. Therefore in the days on his sons, everything will be taken captive and taken to Babylon says the Lord. This thing the Lord is doing to test everything that is there in his heart. In this manner, the Lord is testing and seeing our heart. Therefore, we must never speak proudly about the blessings manifesting within us, the church of God and so that due to the blessings that are manifesting in our soul our generations, the church should not be deceived by Babylon and so that they are not eunuchs in the palace of Babylon and to be as those who work for the Lord let us submit ourselves.

Let us pray. May the Lord bless you all abundantly.
