Av's Tribe: Simeon and Spiritual Hearing

So, the last anointing we'll get to for this month, the month of Av, before we get to the prayers of the month, is the tribe of Simeon. We all know the story of Simeon, but we'll review it really quick and go through some of the anointings, but this is the tribe of the month. Every month has a tribe assigned to it. And this month is Simeon because this month is about our ears. It's about hearing. And Simeon's ears let him down, just like our ears let us down at times as well. So, Simeon was the second of the six sons of the patriarch Jacob and Leah, and his second overall son. He was the father of the tribe of Simeon. The anointing of the month is hearing, which points to the birth of Simeon. When Simeon was born, Leah expressed her feelings by proclaiming, "Because the Lord has heard that I am unloved, He has therefore given me this son also." And she called his name Simeon. So, we go through this every month. When Leah or Rachel had a child, how they felt is what they named the child. So, in this case, when Simeon was born, Leah expressed her feelings by saying, "He has given me this son also," and called his name Simeon. So, again, my friends, all of this correlates together with the month of hearing, right? The month of Av is about our hearing, and the tribe of Simeon, or the character Simeon, gives us a great understanding to not let our hearing delude us. Don't let our hearing get us in the way of trouble, so to speak, because our eyesight and our ears are the ones who let us down. As we discovered, last month's constellation was Cancer, and the anointing was sight. Whereas this month is hearing, and it reverses to a prophecy by Isaiah and later confirmed by Yeshua. It is written, "And He said, 'Go and tell this people: Keep on hearing, but do not understand; Keep on seeing, but do not perceive. Make the heart of this people dull, and their ears heavy, and shut their eyes, lest they see with their eyes and hear with their ears and understand with their heart, and return and be healed.'" My friends, we went through this last month. This is a very serious prophecy by Isaiah that was quoted by Yeshua as well. And look at what He says. Let me supersize it so we can read it. He says, "Keep on hearing, but do not understand. Keep on seeing, but do not perceive." And then He tells Isaiah, remember Isaiah was in the throne room, Isaiah 6, he got his mouth touched with a lump of coals, and then he came and look at what he said. He says, "Make the heart of this people dull, Isaiah, their ears heavy, and shut their eyes prophetically, lest they see with their eyes and hear with their ears and understand with their heart and return and be healed." In Isaiah's prophecy, which is a judgment and not a blessing, we can receive the understanding of what He is warning about eyesight and hearing respectively. The prophet warns us to open our ears and not let them become heavy so that we can understand with our heart the instructions and strategies that Elohim is telling us. Yeshua confirmed Isaiah's prophecy in the Gospel account of Matthew. In Matthew 13, as Elohim was exhorting parables to the people, His disciples asked Him, "Why do You speak to them in parables?" Yeshua's response is very provoking, as He testified, "Because it has been given to you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it has not been given. Therefore, I speak to them in parables, because seeing they do not see, and hearing they do not hear, nor do they understand." Subsequently, Yeshua quotes Isaiah's prophecy that we have discovered about our spiritual eyes and our spiritual ears. He then continues to declare, "But blessed are your eyes, for they do see, and your ears, for they do hear. For assuredly, I say to you that many prophets and righteous men desired to see what you see and did not see it, and to hear what you hear and did not hear it." May it be in this month that Elohim gives us the understanding of the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven by opening our spiritual ears.

My friends, this is very important. We talk about this all the time, and some might think this is kind of strange and weird. And I'll be doing a video on some of this here once we get through some of these other videos. But my friends, spending time with in God's creation, spending time out there in the creation with Him, the creation will tell you a story, right? So, again, if we can get quiet and silence in our prayer closet or out of God's creation, or whatever it may be, because this world is full of noise, this world is full of TVs and radios and podcasts and YouTubes and friends and family and dogs and cats and everything in the world. So, we, and I love everything of it except the worldly stuff. But anyhow, we've got to have time for Elohim. We've got to have time for the Holy Spirit to breathe into us. Breathe into our ears, breathe into our sight, breathe into our lungs, whatever it may be, to understand the spiritual gifts that we have, to understand what's required of us, the commandments, but also the objectives. The commission that He has for you, has for me, has for whoever. We have to have quiet time. You know, throughout my life, I've made many mistakes by not listening to Him, by not listening and following the Holy Spirit. And if I would have understood what I maybe understood now, I hope so, I wouldn't have made those mistakes because I would have listened to Him and I would have gone with what He was showing me instead of going on my own decisions. My own thought process, my ways and my thoughts. So, again, we've got to, because again, we're going to get to a point where He's going to start closing people's eyes and start closing people's ears when we get to the end of the age, because He'll just turn them over to their debased mind. Romans 1 goes through that with Paul. So, my friends, we all believe we're living at the end of the age, or most of us do. So, we've got to really understand and have our ears open, have our eyesight, you know, clean, to get out of some of the media and some of the news and all this stuff that's fake and the politics and all this stuff, and get into the biblical insights that we need to have our eyes open, our ears pierced, to understand what's really going down. So, I know that I've got to work on that as well. You know, this is something that we'll continue to work on as believers: eyesight and ears, because that's what Satan tries to deceive the most: our eyesight and our ears. If he can deceive us there, then he's going to deceive us. And that's why Isaiah, Yeshua, you know, all the great prophets said ears, eyesight, we've got to open up and we've got to understand these things. So, take it from Yeshua, take it from the prophet Isaiah. These are not good scriptures at all, but warnings to all of us to not fall into the same disobedience that the people were in back in their day, Isaiah and Yeshua's. So, the prophet warns us to open our ears and not let them become heavy so that we can understand with our heart the instructions and strategies that Elohim is telling us. Okay, very important. Okay, and then we Yeshua confirms what He confirms that we just read as well. So, this is super important this month to understand the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven from the Father. Remember, Abba Father, this is Daddy's month, if you will, and to open ears in the name of the blood of Yeshua. Amen.
