The subject of Gates occupied the last two posts. These were\u00a0\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/truthlifelight.wordpress.com\/2015\/08\/30\/what-is-a-gate\/\"><em>What is a GATE<\/em>?<\/a> excerpted from the seminal book, &#8216;<em>Praying through the Gates of Time&#8217;<\/em> and <a href=\"https:\/\/truthlifelight.wordpress.com\/2015\/09\/03\/the-antidote-to-the-gates-of-hell\/\"><em>The Antidote to the Gates of Hell<\/em><\/a><em>.<\/em> Today, I&#8217;d like to share how this revelation can be made practical in a nation setting.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family:Century Gothic;font-size:12pt;\">The\u00a0principal scripture for this study is:<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-left:36pt;\"><span style=\"font-family:Georgia;\"><span style=\"color:teal;\">Eze 21:21-23 GNB<\/span><br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-left:36pt;\"><span style=\"font-family:Georgia;\"><span style=\"color:teal;\">(21)<\/span> The king of Babylonia stands by the signpost at the <span style=\"background-color:yellow;\">fork of the road<\/span>. To discover which way to go, he shakes the arrows; he consults his idols; he examines the liver of a sacrificed animal.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-left:36pt;\"><span style=\"font-family:Georgia;\"><span style=\"color:teal;\">(22)<\/span> Now! His right hand holds the arrow marked &#8216;Jerusalem&#8217;! It tells him to go and set up battering rams, to shout the battle cry, to place battering rams against the gates, to throw up earthworks, and to dig trenches.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-left:36pt;\"><span style=\"font-family:Georgia;\"><span style=\"color:teal;\">(23)<\/span> The people of Jerusalem won&#8217;t believe this because of the treaties they have made. But this prediction is to remind them of their sins and to warn them that they will be captured.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-left:36pt;\"><span style=\"color:teal;\">(21)<\/span> For the king of Babylon stood at the parting of the way, at the <span style=\"background-color:yellow;\"><span style=\"text-decoration:underline;\"><strong>head<\/strong><\/span> of the two ways<\/span>, to use divination: he made <span style=\"color:gray;\"><em>his<\/em><\/span> arrows bright, he consulted with images, he looked in the liver.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family:Century Gothic;font-size:12pt;\">The King of Babylon wanted to attack and capture Jerusalem but instead of starting with a physical \u00a0assault, \u00a0he first attacked spiritually at a junction before attacking them physically. To initiate the spiritual attack, this King went to the HEAD of the streets. Notice, just as Jesus has a head \u00a0(1Cor 11:3) and the body of Christ has a head (Eph 5), a wife has a head, so do streets have a head.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family:Century Gothic;font-size:12pt;\">The head of a street is the\u00a0junction or roundabout. Heads are gates. The juction where he stood\u00a0represented a gate. A junction is the gate through which two or more streets, footpaths, air paths\u00a0cross.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family:Century Gothic;font-size:12pt;\">In the developing world, where traditional worship and idolatry in the traditional sense is still rife, it is not uncommon for people to place sacrifices at junctions as per the instructions of fetish priests. The reason for this is the same reason why the King of Babylon chose a junction for transacting spiritual business with the evil being(s)\u00a0through divination to capture Jerusalem. Notice a whole nation was captured at a junction.\u00a0This included\u00a0all its inhabitants.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family:Century Gothic;font-size:12pt;\">There is nothing new under the sun. Unregenerate man has not changed and still seeks power over his\/her fellow man. Unfortunately the sphere of government and governance has been abandoned by many believers and the sons of this world with knowledge from their father have gladly taken this sphere and dictate much of what transpires in them including the architecture and the town planning of nations. Take a look at the picture at the top of this post. Each picture has an obelisk at a junction. I surmise that this is not just for decoration. For the meaning of obelisks, see the previous post.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family:Century Gothic;font-size:12pt;\">In places where\u00a0freemasonry and other cults thrive, those with knowledge have placed obelisks (Asherah poles) at the gates\u2014(heads of gates, roundabouts etc.). At first sight, these Asherah poles may seem only decorative pieces but many times, they are dual purposed\u2014for decoration and for occulted purposes\u2014such as was done by the King of Babylon. If it were today, we&#8217;d be talking about the President of Babylon divining at the gates to capture another country and its people.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Examples of other Gates at Junctions<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-family:Century Gothic;font-size:12pt;\">Below are\u00a0some other examples of types of gates situated at junctions. The examples shown below are from Germany, France and Ghana.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family:Century Gothic;font-size:12pt;\">Each structure has interesting details. The Germans have the Quadriga with a winged supernatural being in a Chariot on top of the Brandenburger Tor \u00a0or gate situated between East and West Germany. Tor is German language for gate. On the surface of France&#8217;s Arc de Triomphe, also situated at a major junction, are winged supernatural beings hovering over humans. On top of Ghana&#8217;s Independence Black Star Monument or Black Star Gate are 4 black stars facing each of the 4 directions.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family:Century Gothic;font-size:12pt;\">Each of these in Germany, France and Ghana are situated at major national junctions near<\/span><span style=\"font-family:Century Gothic;font-size:12pt;\"> major government buildings.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family:Century Gothic;font-size:12pt;\">Opening of German&#8217;s Brandenburger Tor was from 1788 to August 16, 1791<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family:Century Gothic;font-size:12pt;\">Construction of France&#8217;s Arc de Triomphe began in August 15, 1806<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family:Century Gothic;font-size:12pt;\">Take a look at these pictures.

GOD in heaven has His Golden altar. The sacrifice itself represents an agreement or covenant with a deity so with the Eze 21:21-23 example, three things that happened at the junction\u2014covenant, altar and gate. These three form the foundation stones of any throne. In the case of the King of Babylon, he laid the foundation for an evil throne that was to\u00a0fight against Jerusalem. GOD Almighty permitted this to happen\u00a0because of the sin of his people.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family:Century Gothic;font-size:12pt;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Greetings in Jesus&#8217; awesome name!
