And so there is "trouble" in our land today, brought about by the kenites.

Let us first begin with Achor, which means "trouble", and we will learn what causes Big Trouble among our people. When God gave the city of Jericho into the hands of Joshua and the Israelites, He told them by all means do NOT take of the accursed thing lest they become accursed (by God Himself) and bring trouble into Israel.

Here is that command:

Joshua 6:18
And ye, in any wise keep yourselves from the accursed thing, lest ye make yourselves accursed, when ye take of the accursed thing, and make the camp of Israel a curse, and trouble it.
However, there was one by the name of Achan (troublesome) who disobeyed and took a Babylonian Mantle, even a priest's robe, and 200 (200 means "insufficient" in Biblical numerics) shekels of silver and 50 (means "Holy Spirit") shekels of gold. The result of this was that the army of Israel with 3,000 men was defeated by a mere handful of the men of Ai, who killed 36 (means "enemy") Israelites.

Joshua immediately knew there was an accursed thing in the land for otherwise God would have given them the victory over Ai. So Joshua sent out men to find the transgressor and burn him with fire.

Joshua 7:15
And it shall be, that he that is taken with the accursed thing shall be burnt with fire, he and all that he hath: because he hath transgressed the covenant of the LORD, and because he hath wrought folly in Israel.
Achan (trouble) turned out to be the guilty party and here is his confession to Joshua:
Joshua 7:20
And Achan answered Joshua, and said, Indeed I have sinned against the LORD God of Israel, and thus and thus have I done:

[21] When I saw among the spoils a goodly Babylonish garment, and two hundred shekels of silver, and a wedge of gold of fifty shekels weight, then I coveted them, and took them; and, behold, they are hid in the earth in the midst of my tent, and the silver under it.

Achan was subsequently stoned to death and cremated.
Joshua 7:25
And Joshua said, Why hast thou troubled us? the LORD shall trouble thee this day. And all Israel stoned him with stones, and burned them with fire, after they had stoned them with stones.
After Israel was purged of her "trouble" the LORD turned from His fierce anger and the place was called the Valley of Achor, the Valley of Trouble.
[26] And they raised over him a great heap of stones unto this day. So the LORD turned from the fierceness of his anger. Wherefore the name of that place was called, The valley of Achor, unto this day.
Remember, this was a type, an ensample for us today concerning idolatry of materialism and false preachers, symbolized by the priest's robe, the accursed thing. When you take in the "mantle" of a priest of Babylon (which means confusion), you bring idolatry into the family of God and the whole family suffers spiritually as a result. It is an accursed thing and just as it caused Achan's physical death, it can cause your spiritual death. Stay away from antichrist and his religion.

Let's go back and re-read Hosea 2:15 to pick up the remainder of the verse:

Hosea 2:15
And I will give her her vineyards from thence, and the valley of Achor for a door of hope: and she shall sing there, as in the days of her youth, and as in the day when she came up out of the land of Egypt.
You surely know the story of how our Father drew Israel out of the land of Egypt with a mighty hand and how Moses led them to the shore of the Red Sea when they discovered Pharaoh's army was closing in on them. The people believed they faced certain death and they began to murmur against God and His servant Moses and began to look back.
Exodus 14:11
And they said unto Moses, Because there were no graves in Egypt, hast thou taken us away to die in the wilderness? wherefore hast thou dealt thus with us, to carry us forth out of Egypt?

[12] Is not this the word that we did tell thee in Egypt, saying, Let us alone, that we may serve the Egyptians? For it had been better for us to serve the Egyptians, than that we should die in the wilderness.

However, when all seemed hopeless and the Israelites looked like they would be slaughtered, God intervened and SAVED HER!
[13] And Moses said unto the people, Fear ye not, stand still, and see the salvation of the LORD, which he will shew to you to day: for the Egyptians whom ye have seen to day, ye shall see them again no more for ever.
So much for the might and power of the Egyptians whom they served. Then all Israel crossed over the Red Sea and their enemy, Pharaoh and his army, were drowned and destroyed in the sea. How do you suppose the people felt when they witnessed and experienced the salvation of the LORD? They were jubilant and they sang for joy.
Exodus 15:1
Then sang Moses and the children of Israel this song unto the LORD, and spake, saying, I will sing unto the LORD, for He hath triumphed gloriously: the horse and his rider hath he thrown into the sea.

[2] The LORD is my strength and song, and He is become my salvation: He is my God, and I will prepare him an habitation; my father's God, and I will exalt him.

And so it is there is "trouble" in our land today, brought about by the kenites, and yet there shall be greater trouble when the accursed thing himself, even the abomination of desolation, antichrist, stands among our people. He shall rule for a short time and then he will be "stoned" with that "stone cut out without hands" (Dan. 2:24) as God draws His people out and delivers them from that wicked one. They will also be jubilant as their ancestors and they will sing the Song of Moses (Deut. 32) at the victory celebration (Rev. 15).

So God is going to do it again! He is going to show forth His might and His power when He draws His children out of their bondage.

Hosea 2:16
And it shall be at that day, saith the LORD, that thou shalt call me Ishi; and shalt call me no more Baali.
"That day" is when Christ returns and the wedding takes place, the day of the Marriage of the Lamb (Rev. 19:7), when Israel shall affectionately call Him "My Husband" (Ishi) and not "My Lord or Master" (Baali). And He shall strip away all the names of the images of Baalim such as Baal-gad and Baal-zebub, etc. In other words He shall remove all false gods, including antichrist.
[17] For I will take away the names of Baalim out of her mouth, and they shall no more be remembered by their name.
The good news is that there will be no more Baal worship or idolatry when the true Bridegroom returns.
[18] And in that day will I make a covenant for them with the beasts of the field, and with the fowls of heaven, and with the creeping things of the ground: and I will break the bow and the sword and the battle out of the earth, and will make them to lie down safely.
There will be total peace and harmony on earth both in nature and among the nations when Jesus Christ returns. "The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb (Isaiah 11:6)" and "they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more (Isa. 2:4)". Lamb! Wolf! No! No! Not physical wolves and lambs like in flesh and blood animals. Get your mind out of the physical dimension and into the spiritual dimension! What does the lamb and the wolf represent in Bible Symbolism? That's what Isaiah is referring to!

Will you remain faithful and still be a chaste virgin when Christ returns, as Paul so expressed his concern? or will you be found worshiping the antichrist; thinking he is Christ returned!

2 Cor. 11:2
For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ.
Will you be as the first woman taken in the field (Mat. 24) and allow antichrist to allure you to his wedding and seduce you as he did mother Eve?
[3] But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.
The wedding of antichrist occurs first at the 6th Trump before the Marriage of the Lamb at the 7th Trump. The Five foolish virgins of Matthew 25 do not make it to Christ's wedding, but the Five wise virgins do.  The difference between them is the amount of "oil", anointing oil, i.e. Holy Spirit, they have in their lamps. That oil is obtained only from absorbing the Word of God!

To study the Bible is the noblest of all pursuits; to understand it, the highest of all goals.
We pray that with the guidance of the Holy Spirit, you accomplish both.
