Running with the Cows of Jehoiakim!!!!!

Bloggers, it is easy to let pride set into our souls and spirits when we live in a Country like America because of so many of its great accomplishments, and so much social, and political, and wealth and power. America has many reasons for being proud of itself. The Founding Americans have taken a large piece of land and sea and made something out of wild wilderness. The history of America as I see it now in 2025, is like what I now mostly read about concerning the ancient and present Nation of Isreal. Further, now I see two Nations that have been established under the greatest of odds against it and could have never been established on their own power or merit at their inception had it not been for the direct intervention of the Mighty invisible Hand of God. I understand how easy it is for weak human beings to believe that because America is great, we think that it was because of these people or those people, or because of us people that America is invincible. And as it happens in so many instances like this around the world, we fail to take this great Divine leverage that was given to us by Providence and give credit where credit is due, because we make it all about ourselves and we are consumed by that idea that hides in us and is so prevalent in our souls. Yes, some believe that they built this Country, but they failed to understand that Providence had a master plan designed for America and Israel long before they were created..., inasmuch as their destiny was concerned. Therefore, America and Israel presently have forgotten that it is God who brought them into existence for His Divine Purpose. And instead of giving God the Glory and credit for their greatness they attribute that accomplishment to themselves and continue to build grand palaces and temples to their false gods and to themselves and defiantly reject the idea that God was solely responsible for all their blessings and their lives. America has failed to understand just like the Kings and leaders of many in ancient Israel and Judah have done in the past, and disrespected and dishonor God deliberately today because of their hard headiness and idolatries. Israel today is pretty much a Secularist Nation and so is America. And they have taken parts of the Bible or Torah and accepted only the ideas that they like. And both of them have taken the pen knife of King Jehoiakim of Judah and torn off the parts off the Bible that they didn't like and cast them into the fire and refuse to heed the warnings of the holy prophets of God who warned them of impending doom to their kingdom and to their self-arrogance and self-indulging pride. And the leaders under King Jehoiakim insisted that they would not listen to the prophet Jeremiah's prophecies of doom whether these were against the king or for all of Judah. Have you read these bible stories... Bloggers? Well, I had to a long time ago and I have continued to study it because of a dream that I had on November 9th, 2014. And if anyone like the Apostle Paul who once said that he had grounds to boast outwardly for so many grand revelations that he was allowed to see and hear from Heaven and God, I sometimes feel that same way because of what I have been allowed and privileged to hear and see from God too. And here again I will show the reader what I mean about that. However, I also refuse to take credit for anything that I say here or anywhere else simply because I did not originate this following phrase either. It came in a dream, but I ask the readers to sincerely ask themselves if they have evidence of this phrase that I am printing here and have elsewhere before... yourselves? And this phrase, like all the other symbols as well that are shown to me, are the catalyst that set me out to do research on the Kings of Israel and Judah and all the Bible and other resources. What I heard in this dream was a Voice sounding from heaven in a daydream setting as I stand in a field all alone and the Voice said, "Running with the Cows of Jehoiakim!" And that was all to this dream and that is the end to the dream. What did you learn from that scene Ruben? I learned that although God knows that I am a slow learner, He sure doesn't take pity on me by giving me these incredibly difficult language art lessons in ancient symbology. But do you what..., He makes my mind sharper by doing this. This Divine challenge to me now, helps me see how apostate America and Government and Leadership at all levels has become and is just like ancient Israel and Judah had been in the past, through comparison and contrast and logical deduction. Hence, I can clearly see that this great Nation doesn't rely or depend, nor calls on God for guidance nor assistance, it instead calls on the Cows of its Idolatries and its Dependence on those Bulls and Cows covered in gold and wealth and power and that can buy anything that they want at will. Thus, America depends on its Alliances and with their Allies wealth and power and their militaries for its existence. And like King Jehoiakim who found himself and his Kingdom overtaxed by foreign powers, he taxed his people not only to pay the overlording so-called rich friends but to build excessive Palaces for himself and his leaders who took advantage of the chaotic situation and added more forced labor on the poor people without pay. So, one can see clearly from these true stories that the King and its leaders didn't care about the suffering of its people, they only cared for what was in the best interest for themselves financially and they were not moved towards justice or equality for all the people under them either. These events in King Jehoiakim set the stage for the Babylonian Captivity and the destruction of Judah in Israel. This is a great story of rebellious Royal Dominoes as they tip themselves over to their fall. Dominoes falling will set the stage for America's downfall as well soon. We cannot mock God forever without consequences. The chain reactions of rebellious idol worshipping Kings, and Kings full of themselves, and Kings who failed to give God the credit for their birth, healing and restoration and wealth, King's like Hezekiah who pushed the standing Dominoe next in line to him over and down to knock down all the following kings of Judah, and who that next king became the worst King that Judah ever had was King Manasseh, King Hezekiah's son. But did King Hezekiah care for his punishment being dealt not to his Pride, but to his successors? No! It is said that he believed that as long as he made it to heaven, hey..., the rest of you are on your own. So, following the falling Dominoes fall all the way to king Zedekiah from Hezekiah we see what America too is expected to undergo when it falls. The Prophets Isaiah and Jeremiah warned us, watch out with unbridled pride in oneself and our defiant refusal to obey God's Covenant and Commandments. Not only will that person fall but all those close to him. The Cows like the Bulls of Bashan, are people and things that are not good for us to live with or be under their rule. These are not the good aspects of cows or bull's symbols but the dark negative real bad side of them. See especially Micah Chapter 3 and Psalms Chapter 22 and Amos Chapter 4 for what these Cows of Jehoiakim represent. Learn from the ancient past so that we can live to please God. I don't want to run with the cows of Jehoiakim... do you? In Psalms 22 you will see who the Psalmist claims that these Cows are, and that represent the golden bull also. Perhaps you will see that they represent those who crucified Jesus too because they too like King Jehoiakim took the pen knife to Jeremiah's prophecies that they didn't like concerning their doom and cut them to pieces and cast those Words of God to the fire! Think about how many misguided people are in the fire now because they too practice tearing out of the Word of God what they don't like. And in closing, in Jeremiah chapter 22..., he states that King Jehoiakim died in Babylonian captivity and was buried with the burial of an Ass outside the city gates. So Let Us Sleep On that for now. Thanks again until next time. And please learn that there are Grave consequences to tearing out from the Bible what we don't like. Take all of it or nothing! Valuable lessons here for our souls.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          Respectfully,                                                                                                                                            Ruben N.
