While they were staring into heaven as He went up, suddenly two men stood with them in white clothing. They said, "Men of Galilee, why do you keep standing here staring into heaven? This Yeshua, who was taken up from you into heaven, will come in the same way as you saw Him go into heaven." Acts 1:10~11
Yesterday I stood and stared into heaven! I was outside around 5PM and looked up at the sky, or rather, the sky almost seemed to have come down to meet the earth and brought my glance upwards to see a glorious cloud spotted dome with the sapphire blue of heaven making a supernatural glow and lighting up the early evening.
It seemed to be announcing something special and then I remembered!!
It is the 40th day of the omer and the day that Yeshua went up to heaven as I just wrote about in a post the other day!!
It was so wonderful to stand beneath this Ascension Day Sky and then, I saw eagles circling above!!
A majestic sign of God`s Heavenly love and reminder to be prepared!!
In the scriptures these next 10 days were the days that the disciples waited in expectation for the outpouring of the Holy Spirit. On that day 3000 souls were saved! May we too wait expectedly and be in One accord, in one place and ready to receive on Shavuot!! May all our unsaved loved ones receive an outpouring of the Holy Spirit and know their Salvation in Yeshua! May those of us who know Him be brought together as One in the rushing of the Ruach HaKodesh wind!!
Blessings and Love! Happy counting!
Shabbat Shalom everyone!
Love,♡
Shayndel/Joanne!
PS I am also reminded of this verse in the book of Exodus, and the revelation that this description of God`s feet tells us that who could that have been standing on the Sapphire stone of Heaven!! Indeed, Yeshua!!!
They saw the God of Israel, and under His feet was something like a pavement of sapphire, as clear as the very heavens.
Exodus 24:10
Kudos to you for paying attention to things and seeing what most of us, ordinary people, are incapable of seeing. The cloud, for instance,and its meaning of ascension to heaven.
ReplyDeleteThank you Duta. Just keeping my eyes on heaven! Interesting though as you mention it , no one seemed to be looking up... I think all are capable of seeing, but we have to make a choice of where we put our focus. Blessings in counting up these next 9 days!.. Blessings and Shabbat Shalom!♡
DeleteThis is a beautiful post on Ascention Day. Thank you for sharing this with us.
ReplyDeleteThank you Quietspirit. Blessed by your stopping by and encouraging. Have a blessed Shavuot/Pentecost❤️
DeleteThe small pieces of cloud everywhere remind me of the world's darkness being lit up by the light of the sun (the Son of God), and the necessity of all of the world coming to that light.
ReplyDeleteThank you Brenda for sharing that. Amen!
DeleteThe light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overpowered it. John 1:5
Amen and amen! Much love and blessings in Yeshua❤️
May we all not get so caught up in the worries of this world that we forget to look for the promises of the next!
ReplyDeleteAmen!! Thank you Gloriade. Let us keep looking up! As we do the things that He has given us to do as the Body of Messiah here on earth, we need not to `worry` but to lift up all things in prayer (Philipians 4:6 ~7) and run the race ahead with our eyes on Yeshua, Jesus, the initiator and perfector of faith (Hebrews 12:2)!!
DeleteThe LORD bless you and keep you! ❤️
