A slight departure from my normal blog post.  Today, I feel compelled to give an overall viewpoint of where we might find ourselves in this timeline of world history.

Does anyone wonder why farming, gardening and homesteading seem to be exploding onto the scene in the last few years and certainly gaining popularity daily?  I do.  In fact, a few years ago, I watched a video that I cannot seem to find now.  It was a wonderful testimony from a husband and wife who prayed about getting some land and beginning to learn to grow their own food.  They made the correlation between the events we read about in the Bible pertaining to end times, with the desire of people to move out of the cities onto farms to learn about gardening.  I was intrigued as I listened because I had already been watching Paul Gautche, Back to Eden videos and as I've already written before, I loved his desire to give glory to our Father.

The testimony of this couple though, stuck with me.  It made perfect sense.  Our Father took the time and great detail to warn us of our future in the scriptures.  He didn't do this to scare us.  He did this to equip us; to make us discerning people, prepared, building our faith now before we are tested.  Indeed, hundreds are moving out of the cities onto land or rethinking the use of their backyards for growing food.  A vast community of YouTubers have sprung up to aid and assist.  It's really been quite incredible.

More than just learning to grow food and raise animals, is the need to return to our Father before it is too late and the horror that is coming, overtakes us.  Yes, that sounds like doomsday and heavy but it is true.  Nothing like we have ever seen or read about before in a history book is headed our way.  The only way we will be prepared, not just physically, but spiritually, is to be a part of the prophecy of "returning."  It is found in Deuteronomy 30 and I'll post it here.

Deuteronomy 30:1 When all these blessings and curses I have set before you come on you and you take them to heart wherever Yehovah your God disperses you among the nations, 2 and when you and your children RETURN to Yehovah your God and obey Him with all your heart and with all your soul according to everything I command you today, 3 then Yehovah your God will restore your fortunes and have compassion on you and gather you again from all the nations where He scattered you. 4 Even if you have been banished to the most distant land under the heavens, from there Yehovah your God will gather you and bring you back. 5 He will bring you to the land that belonged to your ancestors, and you will take possession of it. He will make you more prosperous and numerous than your ancestors. 6 Yehovah, your God will circumcise your hearts and the hearts of your descendants, so that you may love Him with all your heart and with all your soul, and live. 7 Yehovah, your God will put all these curses on your enemies who hate and persecute you.8 You will again obey Yehovah and follow all His commands I am giving you today.9 Then Yehovah your God will make you most prosperous in all the work of your hands and in the fruit of your womb, the young of your livestock and the crops of your land. Yehovah will again delight in you and make you prosperous, just as He delighted in your ancestors, 10 if you obey Yehovah your God and keep His commands and decrees that are written in this Book of the Law and turn to Yehovah your God with all your heart and with all your soul.

This is a Torah scroll that my husband and I were able to purchase in Jerusalem a few years ago.  It is precious to us because of the gravity of the prophecy and the new life we have in Him.  May He speak truth to all of us as we RETURN to obey the commands and decrees that are written in this Book of the Law and RETURN to Yehovah with all our heart and all our soul.
