A Word by Catherine Brown, Scotland Email: CBrownds1@aol.com

"I am my lover's and my lover is mine" Song of Solomon 6:3

I found myself looking down on the earth, from a heavenly perspective. I saw the Lord lift a shroud (a large white veil) from the land of Israel, and it them seemed as though a veil had been lifted from the whole earth.

The Lord spoke these words:

"Once more My people will know their Beloved, and that they are My beloved. No more shall their eyes be blind nor their hearts remain hard towards My eternal love. Now the time has come for the immutable promises of the Father to be revealed in all the earth, and for the prisoners to be released and the captives to be set free. Let those who have an ear to hear listen to what the Spirit says."

"On this mountain he will destroy the shroud that enfolds all peoples, the sheet that covers all nations; he will swallow up death for ever. The Sovereign Lord will wipe away the tears from all faces, he will remove the disgrace of his people from all the earth, The Lord has spoken." Is 25:7-8

The symbolism of the veil being removed represents salvation for Israel, just as the Bible has promised.

"In that day they will say, "Surely this is our God; we trusted in him, and he saved us. This is the Lord, we trusted in him; Let us rejoice and be glad in his salvation." Is 25:9

The shroud being lifted by the Savior indicated the veil being removed from the hearts and minds of the children of Israel, to permit them to embrace their Savior Yeshua - this will bring great blessings to the earth.

"God gave them a spirit of stupor, eyes so that they could not see and ears that they could not hear, . . . "Again I ask: Did they stumble so as to fall beyond recovery? Not at all! Rather because of their transgression, salvation has come to the Gentiles to make Israel envious. But if their transgression means riches for the world, and their loss means riches for the Gentiles, how much greater riches will their fullness bring." Ro 11:8, Ro 11:11-12

The vision speaks of the promised redemption of the children of Israel and their reconciliation with Father God.

"For I will take you out of the nations; I will gather you from all the countries and bring you back into your own land. I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you will be clean; I will cleanse you from all your impurities and from all your idols. I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh. And I will put my Spirit in you and move you to follow my decrees and be careful to keep my laws. You will live in the land I gave your forefathers; you will be my people, and I will be your God." Ez 36:24-28

The salvation of the children of Israel is a gem of indescribable beauty in the Lord's eyes

"The Lord their God will save them on that day as the flock of his people. They will sparkle in his land like jewels in a crown. How attractive and beautiful they will be!" Zech 9:16
