Welcome to the Horns of Light Chronicles. Peter Berbalis chronicles his family story, prophecy, and testimony. God's story unfolds, from his grandfather in Lithuania, Nazi Germany, the Russian Revolution, to Ronald Reagan in the fall of the Berlin Wall, the gospel spreading across Eastern Europe, how God called Peter to Petra, Jordan, and so much more as prophecy and testimonies unfold. And now, the Horns of Light Chronicles. You wanted to talk again some more about how we went from Matthew 5, which interestingly we're going to go back there in a big circle, I think, into Isaiah 11, but was there another passage between?
No, I think that was really it. It was Matthew 5, the city on the hill, kind of that vision that what got us here was Ronald Reagan praying in his room, and then kind of that connection to Senator Tim Scott, which he gets married now after 50-some years, which a prayer was birthed in that room related to that. And anyway, it's just, yeah, that verse of city on the hill, the menorah, and Jerusalem, and letting our light shine, and so yeah, that was kind of, and you had mentioned Isaiah 11 in relation to that, that the Lord had kind of taken a study, so I just want to sit back and hear what the Lord's shown you in it all. Well yeah, maybe I, it's hard to decide where to start. Matthew 5 is critical to what I want to talk about today, or what God put on my heart, and I hope people can follow me, because it's extremely complicated, but it's still so fun that I just can't help but share it with somebody.
Because I honestly have not shared what I'm going to share here with anybody in the complete form that I hope I get a chance to do this. So to finish what we were talking about in Isaiah 11, in Revelation it talks about that when John got to the end of the throne room, I think it's in chapter 4, that he sees these seven lamps, which are clearly the menorah, and I was really curious about that, and I found that in Isaiah 11, that these are the anointings, and you may know Jesus' name means, you know, the Messiah, it means the anointed one, right? And so here we have the seven anointings, or the seven spirits of God, that are listed there in Isaiah 11, and it starts off with wisdom, and we talked about how wisdom is sort of, it's wonderful to get this light turned on, unless you do something with that wisdom, it requires understanding in order to be able to do anything with it, and what you would do with it, hopefully, is counsel somebody, let's just take the gospel for example.
Like, oh, I need Jesus' blood, I need to have him as my savior in order to be in a relationship with God, that's amazing wisdom. But if you don't take an understanding of that, if you don't really get that, and you don't counsel your own self, right, because it's wisdom, understanding, counsel is the third one, so if you don't take that counsel, then you're essentially, you're not making any progress. So it's wisdom, understanding, counsel, then might, right? And so actually, after you take that counsel, and you make the connection with God, something amazing happens as far as the light is concerned, and again, we're connecting these to these seven anointings, but there are also seven colors in the rainbow, Roy, Roy G. Biv, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet. And so interestingly, when you get to that might, it's green. And when you think about the days of creation, and you'll see when the earth turned green, I'll leave that all to your study, okay?
All right. So these things are all connected, and the seven last words from the cross. It's all very, very connected, and even the 119th Psalm is in eight verses, but the seven ones, you'll always find are wisdom, understanding, counsel, might, knowledge, and fear of the Lord. Okay, so after might comes knowledge. So as you now are in Christ, and you have this unbelievable might, which by the way comes from light, which we'll get to in a minute.
Interesting. Then now you begin to receive knowledge, which comes through the Holy Spirit, obviously, and this is another of the anointing. And as you have that knowledge, what you will very quickly come to understand, the more knowledge you receive, true knowledge, Bible knowledge, is, oh my goodness, God has a really, really high standard. Like, oh my goodness, God is righteousness. In other words, if you don't develop a fear of the Lord once you begin to get knowledge, then you aren't getting knowledge. Amen. Okay, so knowledge leads to a fear of the Lord.
But at some point, if you get enough knowledge, and you get enough fear of the Lord, you realize that, oh my goodness, okay, that a fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, because if God has everything under control, we can delight in that fact. Here's a perfect example. If you watched the debate on Tuesday night, I'm going to guess that it was upsetting to you. I don't care what party you were for. I'm guessing that it did something in your spirit that was not pleasant, because it was pure shenanigans. It was a worldly example of shenanigans, right? And so if you stood there and you began to yell at either Kamala or maybe you were yelling at Trump, whoever you were yelling at, I can assure you that all you were really doing is yelling at the axe. Somebody's chopping your tree down in your front yard, and it won't do you any good to yell at the axe.
You need to yell at the person that's wielding the axe, okay? And so God has got this gigantic chessboard out there, and Kamala and President Trump are simply chess pieces, and who controls them? Ultimately, we can delight in the fact that God's got all this exactly where he wants it, which is by the way he has us on our knees, okay? So when you delight in the fear of the Lord, that is violet, okay? And you look at royalty all over the place, you're going to find indigo and violet.
It's inherent as it can be, and interestingly, leading back into red, which is wisdom. And if you don't see that as being like Jesus' blood, I'm sorry, it just is. The Bible bleeds no matter where you cut it.
Amen. Now, getting back to this idea of yelling at the axe, the most perfect example, really, if you do a deep study of the book of Esther, and you go to chapter 6, you're going to find that's where all the miracles begin to happen. And in Esther chapter 6, in verse 12, at the very beginning of this verse, you're going to find something very, very, very peculiar, which is perfect for what I'm trying to illustrate, what God showed me.
I won't say I'm trying to…God showed me, so I want to share it. It says, now, just to give you a little backdrop on what's going on, is King Ahasuerus, the king, has made an edict to kill all the Jews on the thirteenth day of Adar. In other words, and this is 127 provinces.
At this point in time, Persia rules the world, probably the biggest empire ever. And so if you kill all the Jews on 127 provinces, you pretty much get the job done. I mean, they're dead, all of them.
Yeah. And so they're facing something way worse than the Holocaust. And Queen Esther, who's the queen at this point in time, the king does not know she's a Jew, and her uncle Mordecai is one of his advisors, and he sits outside the gate. Why does he sit outside the gate? Because he's wearing sackcloth. And in that culture, if you were wearing sackcloth inside the gate, then that means you're mourning that the king is dead.
Not a good idea. So they would not allow Mordecai inside the gate, because that would mean he was mourning the king being dead, which is like a big slap in the face, so he'd be dead if he went and did that. So he was sitting outside the gate. But when he has this unbelievable understanding all of a sudden that he gets in the middle of the night when he can't sleep, that Mordecai saved his life, all of a sudden he tells the guy who's helped him make the edict to kill all the Jews to go out and honor the guy that saved his life, who happens to be a Jew.
Interesting. And so he puts this guy in what? And he asks Haman, in this wonderful turn of events, Haman, what should be done for the man that the Lord desires to honor?
And what Haman says is absolutely miraculous. He says he should be put in a robe that the king has worn, and he should be put on the horse of the king with the insignia on his forehead. Now, who is your king? And what would he do if he would delight to honor you? And let me just share with you that he does delight to honor you. Now, what is a robe that the king has worn? Well, fortunately for us, there's Psalm 104 verse 2. And if you look at Psalm 104 verse 2, it says God puts on light as a robe. Wow. And the heavens as his curtain. Okay.
So what's the robe? Well, if you go look on YouTube, but what happens the moment an egg reaches, I mean, a sperm reaches an egg, you're going to see all kinds of sparks fly. Well, the moment that you came into Christ, the sparks that flew would way surpass anything that you're going to see on YouTube.
Like, oh my goodness, all of a sudden, in the spiritual world, this light went off that was unbelievable. Okay. And you now are wearing that robe of righteousness, which is light. Amen.
Okay. Well, because you have this big light on you, here comes this, you're reflecting Jesus, okay? And as you're wearing his robe that he wore, by the way, then you're going to attract every bug slash demon, just like bugs, they come to the light.
Well, it's the same thing. Satan's hordes is all around the universe looking for God's light, and they hate God. And so they're not all that much concerned with you, but when they see God, they're going to come after you, and it's kind of like whack-a-mole.
Every time they see somebody raise up out of their foxhole, they whack them. And see, thus you get, go back to Matthew 5, because it says Matthew 5, verse 11 says, Blessed are the persecuted for righteousness. Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Now look carefully at the word persecuted, and you will note, if the verb tense in both Greek and Hebrew, they have a tense of verbs, it's called perfect. And a perfect tense verb means that it is not only true right this minute, it's true in the past, and it's true in the future.
And so the word persecuted here is in the perfect tense, meaning that from the moment you came to Christ, you've been persecuted, and you will be persecuted until Jesus comes back. Wow. Okay, and why? Because you have that light.
You're attracted to them like bugs. Why would God set that up? Well, think about it.
Think about it. Because we cannot do this, when you begin to take on Satan, which you will the moment you come to Christ, you just put a big target on your back, whether you realize it or not, and all of a sudden you will discover you can't do life on your own. And so it takes you back into deeper into your relationship with God, so that you end up more and more and more united. Blessed are those happy to be persecuted, because at this point in time, you can begin to delight in the fear of the Lord, because the more you experience walking with him, the more you'll see how powerful he really is, and how amazingly he comes to your aid in so many situations that that's why you consider it pure joy when you face all these temptations.
Right? You know, James chapter 1, right? Because this is where you're going to be. And again, getting back to our hero Mordecai, to go clear back to Esther chapter 6, okay, to finish up the thought, was now he's been paraded around the city of Persia by the king. The king has made, this is the biggest deal you could possibly make of Mordecai. And so he is being, like, if you could imagine President Trump putting his robe on somebody that he was inaugurated on, and putting him on his, you know, in his limousine, and saying, parade this guy around, and say this is what is done for the man the Lord delights to honor. Now, you come back from this unbelievable parade that you've just been paraded on, and what would you do?
Because now every one of the people of your tribe, every one of your American people are going to be killed within a year. Wouldn't you probably go talk to the king, since he obviously devights to honor you? But that is not who Mordecai goes to talk to. That's getting back to Esther chapter 6, verse 12. Look where Mordecai goes. He goes back to the king's gate.
Why? That means he took off the robe, and what was he wearing? Sackcloth. And what was he doing? Fasting and praying, because he was yelling at the man that's holding the axe.
In other words, he wasn't yelling at the king. You could yell at the king all you want, but until something is determined in heaven, it's not going to happen on earth. And so with this election, whatever it is you're facing in your life, I can assure you, God holds all the pieces.
And so, yes, we need to vote, but more importantly, we need to vote with God. Like, God, help us, help us, help us, help us. And this, again, was a very long story. I hope that made some kind of sense. It was definitely a Bible tour.
You know, I so appreciate it. And it just, you know, God raises up rulers and lifts them up and tears them down, and that verse really comes to light. And then kind of that conquering king somehow ties into that ultimately. And, you know, when you read Isaiah 11, it's so clear that that's referencing Christ and that delight in the fear of the Lord that Christ lived in as God in the flesh. It's just, anyway, there's just, yeah, there's a lot that goes off as you speak through these things.
Well, one more thing that if you, I didn't lose you before, I may lose you now, but just one little thing that I realized as you were talking I did not mention. But it's critical to me to understand the significance of what God's trying to teach us through what I just described. So I don't know if you've heard this before, if you're listening, maybe you've heard it, maybe you haven't heard it, but inside of Genesis 1, 1, it says, in the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. Well, if you look in Hebrew, at that verse, is encoded God's very, there's lots of names of God, but there's one that most people would know as Yahweh that's so holy that if Jews says it, they feel like they would die, so they say Hashem, so they don't say that name. But believe it or not, there's a name that they even consider higher than that, and that's Ahim, and it starts with an olive. And it's the name that God called himself when Moses said, well, what shall thy tell them, call me. And he said, olivehavavheh, not yudhavavheh, is Yahweh. Olivehavavheh is Ahweh, okay? And that name is super-duper, like, unbelievably significant, and there's some things that, in Hebrew, letters are numbers, numbers are letters.
And so there's a thing called gematria, and the gematria of that Ahweh name is 17, okay? And that's a significant thing, because when you add up all the letters of Ahweh, then you get this number 17. Well, when you look at that, again, God, it says in the beginning, God, and then you take the rest of the verse, created the heavens and the earth, take the first letter in Hebrew of created the heavens and the earth, and you get Ahweh. And so that's how it's encoded in the very first verse. The Torah of the Bible is Ahweh, okay?
All that is, okay? Well, if you look back into Esther chapter six, verse 10, and where the king tells Haman, great idea, buddy, go put the robe on, go put the robe and the horse, okay? The robe and the horse, when you take those two, I didn't even talk about what the horse is. When you take those two, the geometry of those two is 17. And you may know that the word God is not mentioned anywhere in the book of Esther.
I could talk about that for 10 minutes, but I won't. But it's not. But it is encoded, and it's specifically encoded in this verse, and it's specifically encoded in the idea of the robe and the horse. Interesting. And here it is in this idea, again, that geometry is 17, but also the heavens, again, remember what God was clothed in in light, and the heavens is where the light comes from, okay? So the earth then is connected to the idea of the horse. And the horse, you know, I could go into a really long thing, but we're out of time already, so I'm just going to say it's God's word, okay?
Interesting. And the way you are really going to travel in this world is by using and adopting God's word and bringing it into your heart and all those things. Believe me when I tell you that as you put on the robe of righteousness, which is light, and you take in God's word, then you are, right, coming into the idea of unity with Yahweh and Ahweh and Yeshua. So all those things, yeah.
So interesting. And that verse comes to mind as you just say that, your word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path. Anyway. Oh, yeah, yeah, which is in the 119th Psalm.
It's the first verse of the nun section. Which, believe me when I tell you, has everything to do with faith. Interesting. And again, when your faith comes on, the light comes on. Interesting. Very, very interesting. And the light created the first day also that's just, yeah, it just, yes, so much, so many things, so many synapses.
Yeah, if you're not amazed at all that, I don't know what to say. I just stand, you know, number one, you know, if you don't know it, I'm 69 years old, okay, and I do not have a good memory. Ask my wife, you know, will Robbie remember that? No, he won't remember that. He won't remember this. He won't remember that, right? He won't. I won't. Yet.
How do I know where all those verses are? That's right. What's up with that? All right, so anyway, I love you, man. I love you guys. I love you too. We will talk again next week, so we're out of time. Thank you for listening.
