God woke my ear for the fourth time in a row. I experience the transition from the old to the new day while awake – from the old to the new world! God had “gegeben” me psychiatric hospital four times. Now HE has given me His word for the fourth time.
Nothing keeps me in bed. I am looking forward to the internal motto (lot) on this day:
והיה טרם-יקראו ואני אענה עוד הם מדברים ואני אשמע
“It will also come to pass that before they call, I will answer; and while they are still speaking, I will hear. ”
(Isaiah 65.24, NASB)
A wonderful promise to HIS people!
The text in the context of Isaiah 65: 17-25 (NASB):
God will create a new heaven and earth:
17 “For behold, I create new heavens and a new earth;
And the former things will not be remembered or come to [a]mind.
18 “But be glad and rejoice forever in what I create;
For behold, I create Jerusalem for rejoicing
And her people for gladness.
19 “I will also rejoice in Jerusalem and be glad in My people;
And there will no longer be heard in her
The voice of weeping and the sound of crying.
20 “No longer will there be [b]in it an infant who lives but a few days,
Or an old man who does not [c]live out his days;
For the youth will die at the age of one hundred
And the [d]one who does not reach the age of one hundred
Will be thought accursed.
21 “They will build houses and inhabit them;
They will also plant vineyards and eat their fruit.
22 “They will not build and another inhabit,
They will not plant and another eat;
For as the [e]lifetime of a tree, so will be the days of My people,
And My chosen ones will wear out the work of their hands.
23 “They will not labor in vain,
Or bear children for calamity;
For they are the [f]offspring of those blessed by the Lord,
And their descendants with them.
24 It will also come to pass that before they call, I will answer; and while they are still speaking, I will hear. 25 The wolf and the lamb will graze together, and the lion will eat straw like the ox; and dust will be the serpent’s food. They will do no evil or harm in all My holy mountain,” says the Lord.

In verses 17 + 18 the word “create” has the same tribe as in Genesis 1: 1: bereschit bara elohim; In the beginning God created!
God had put me through a psychiatric clinic four times in the 1980s. Now HE has given me his word for the fourth time. A long-held hope comes true!
Transition to the new world
God woke my ear for the fourth time in a row. I experience the transition from the old to the new day while awake – from the old to the new world! God had “given” me psychiatric hospital four times. Now HE has given me his word for the fourth time.
Here are the four internal mottos (lots) that spoke to me so impressively:
1st day
June 20, 2012: Ezekiel 18:32
כי לא אחפץ במות המת נאם אדני יהוה והשיבו וחיו
“For I have no pleasure in the death of anyone who dies,” declares the Lord God. “Therefore, repent and live!”
(NASB)
2nd day
June 21, 2012: Psalm 91:11
כי מלאכיו יצוה-לך לשמרך בכל-דרכיך
“For He will give His angels charge concerning you,
To guard you in all your ways.”
(NASB)
3rd day
June 22, 2012: Psalm 49:16
אך-אלהים יפדה נפשי מיד-שאול כי יקחני סלה
“Do not be afraid when a man becomes rich,
When the glory of his house is increased;”
(NASB)
4th day
June 23, 2012: Isaiah 65:24
והיה טרם-יקראו ואני אענה עוד הם מדברים ואני אשמע
“It will also come to pass that before they call, I will answer; and while they are still speaking, I will hear.”
(NASB)
