Sabbath Delight
Joshua 5
1 And it came to pass, when all the kings of the Amorites, which were on the side of Jordan westward, and all the kings of the Canaanites, which were by the sea, heard that the LORD had dried up the waters of Jordan from before the children of Israel, until we were passed over, that their heart melted, neither was there spirit in them any more, because of the children of Israel.
2 At that time the LORD said unto Joshua, Make thee sharp knives, and circumcise again the children of Israel the second time.
3 And Joshua made him sharp knives, and circumcised the children of Israel at the hill of the foreskins.
4 And this is the cause why Joshua did circumcise: All the people that came out of Egypt, that were males, even all the men of war, died in the wilderness by the way, after they came out of Egypt.
5 Now all the people that came out were circumcised: but all the people that were born in the wilderness by the way as they came forth out of Egypt, them they had not circumcised.
6 For the children of Israel walked forty years in the wilderness, till all the people that were men of war, which came out of Egypt, were consumed, because they obeyed not the voice of the LORD: unto whom the LORD sware that he would not shew them the land, which the LORD sware unto their fathers that he would give us, a land that floweth with milk and honey.
7 And their children, whom he raised up in their stead, them Joshua circumcised: for they were uncircumcised, because they had not circumcised them by the way.
8 And it came to pass, when they had done circumcising all the people, that they abode in their places in the camp, till they were whole.
9 And the LORD said unto Joshua, This day have I rolled away the reproach of Egypt from off you. Wherefore the name of the place is called Gilgal unto this day.
10 And the children of Israel encamped in Gilgal, and kept the passover on the fourteenth day of the month at even in the plains of Jericho.
11 And they did eat of the old corn of the land on the morrow after the passover, unleavened cakes, and parched corn in the selfsame day.
12 And the manna ceased on the morrow after they had eaten of the old corn of the land; neither had the children of Israel manna any more; but they did eat of the fruit of the land of Canaan that year.
13 And it came to pass, when Joshua was by Jericho, that he lifted up his eyes and looked, and, behold, there stood a man over against him with his sword drawn in his hand: and Joshua went unto him, and said unto him, Art thou for us, or for our adversaries?
14 And he said, Nay; but as captain of the host of the LORD am I now come. And Joshua fell on his face to the earth, and did worship, and said unto him, What saith my Lord unto his servant?
15 And the captain of the LORD’s host said unto Joshua, Loose thy shoe from off thy foot; for the place whereon thou standest is holy. And Joshua did so.
Prophets and Kings Chapter 8 “National Apostasy”
From the time of Jeroboam’s death to Elijah’s appearance before Ahab the people of Israel suffered a steady spiritual decline. Ruled by men who did not fear Jehovah and who encouraged strange forms of worship, the larger number of the people rapidly lost sight of their duty to serve the living God and adopted many of the practices of idolatry. {PK 109.1; PR.80.1}
Nadab, the son of Jeroboam, occupied the throne of Israel for only a few months. His career of evil was suddenly stopped by a conspiracy headed by Baasha, one of his generals, to gain control of the government. Nadab was slain, with all his kindred in the line of succession, “according unto the saying of the Lord, which He spake by His servant Ahijah the Shilonite: because of the sins of Jeroboam which he sinned, and which he made Israel sin.” 1 Kings 15:29, 30. {PK 109.2; PR.80.2}
Thus perished the house of Jeroboam. The idolatrous worship introduced by him had brought upon the guilty offenders the retributive judgments of Heaven; and yet the rulers who followed—Baasha, Elah, Zimri, and Omri—during a period of nearly forty years, continued in the same fatal course of evil-doing. {PK 109.3; PR.80.3}
During the greater part of this time of apostasy in Israel, Asa was ruling in the kingdom of Judah. For many years “Asa did that which was good and right in the eyes of the Lord his God: for he took away the altars of the strange gods, and the high places, and brake down the images, and cut down the groves: and commanded Judah to seek the Lord God of their fathers, and to do the law and the commandment. Also he took away out of all the cities of Judah the high places and the sun [margin] images: and the kingdom was quiet before him.” 2 Chronicles 14:2-5. {PK 110.1; PR.80.4}
The faith of Asa was put to a severe test when “Zerah the Ethiopian with an host of a thousand thousand, and three hundred chariots,” invaded his kingdom. Verse 9. In this crisis Asa did not put his trust in the “fenced cities in Judah” that he had built, with “walls, and towers, gates, and bars,” nor in the “mighty men of valor” in his carefully trained army. Verses 6-8. The king’s trust was in Jehovah of hosts, in whose name marvelous deliverances had been wrought in behalf of Israel of old. Setting his forces in battle array, he sought the help of God. {PK 110.2; PR.81.1}
The opposing armies now stood face to face. It was a time of test and trial to those who served the Lord. Had every sin been confessed? Had the men of Judah full confidence in God’s power to deliver? Such thoughts as these were in the minds of the leaders. From every human viewpoint the vast host from Egypt would sweep everything before it. But in time of peace Asa had not been giving himself to amusement and pleasure; he had been preparing for any emergency. He had an army trained for conflict; he had endeavored to lead his people to make their peace with God. And now, although his forces were fewer in number than the enemy, his faith in the One whom he had made his trust did not weaken. {PK 110.3; PR.81.2}
Having sought the Lord in the days of prosperity, the king could now rely upon Him in the day of adversity. His petitions showed that he was not a stranger to God’s wonderful power. “It is nothing with Thee to help,” he pleaded, “whether with many, or with them that have no power: help us, O Lord our God; for we rest on Thee, and in Thy name we go against this multitude. O Lord, Thou art our God; let not man prevail against Thee.” Verse 11. {PK 111.1; PR.81.3}
The prayer of Asa is one that every Christian believer may fittingly offer. We fight in a warfare, not against flesh and blood, but against principalities and powers, and against spiritual wickedness in high places. See Ephesians 6:12. In life’s conflict we must meet evil agencies that have arrayed themselves against the right. Our hope is not in man, but in the living God. With full assurance of faith we may expect that He will unite His omnipotence with the efforts of human instrumentalities, for the glory of His name. Clad with the armor of His righteousness, we may gain the victory over every foe. {PK 111.2; PR.81.4}
King Asa’s faith was signally rewarded. “The Lord smote the Ethiopians before Asa, and before Judah; and the Ethiopians fled. And Asa and the people that were with him pursued them unto Gerar: and the Ethiopians were overthrown, that they could not recover themselves; for they were destroyed before the Lord, and before His host.” 2 Chronicles 14:12, 13. {PK 111.3; PR.82.1}
As the victorious armies of Judah and Benjamin were returning to Jerusalem, “the Spirit of God came upon Azariah the son of Oded: and he went out to meet Asa, and said unto him, Hear ye me, Asa, and all Judah and Benjamin; The Lord is with you, while ye be with Him; and if ye seek Him, He will be found of you; but if ye forsake Him, He will forsake you.” “Be ye strong therefore, and let not your hands be weak: for your work shall be rewarded.” 2 Chronicles 15:1, 2, 7. {PK 112.1; PR.82.2}
Greatly encouraged by these words, Asa soon led out in a second reformation in Judah. He “put away the abominable idols out of all the land of Judah and Benjamin, and out of the cities which he had taken from Mount Ephraim, and renewed the altar of the Lord, that was before the porch of the Lord. {PK 112.2; PR.82.3}
“And he gathered all Judah and Benjamin, and the strangers with them out of Ephraim and Manasseh, and out of Simeon: for they fell to him out of Israel in abundance, when they saw that the Lord his God was with him. So they gathered themselves together at Jerusalem in the third month, in the fifteenth year of the reign of Asa. And they offered unto the Lord the same time, of the spoil which they had brought, seven hundred oxen and seven thousand sheep. And they entered into a covenant to seek the Lord God of their fathers with all their heart and with all their soul.” “And He was found of them: and the Lord gave them rest round about.” Verses 8-12, 15. {PK 112.3; PR.82.4}
Asa’s long record of faithful service was marred by some mistakes, made at times when he failed to put his trust fully in God. When, on one occasion, the king of Israel entered the kingdom of Judah and seized Ramah, a fortified city only five miles from Jerusalem, Asa sought deliverance by forming an alliance with Benhadad, king of Syria. This failure to trust God alone in time of need was sternly rebuked by Hanani the prophet, who appeared before Asa with the message: {PK 113.1; PR.83.1}
“Because thou hast relied on the king of Syria, and not relied on the Lord thy God, therefore is the host of the king of Syria escaped out of thine hand. Were not the Ethiopians and the Lubims a huge host, with very many chariots and horsemen? yet, because thou didst rely on the Lord, He delivered them into thine hand. For the eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show Himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward Him. Herein thou hast done foolishly: therefore from henceforth thou shalt have wars.” 2 Chronicles 16:7-9. {PK 113.2; PR.83.2}
Instead of humbling himself before God because of his mistake, “Asa was wroth with the seer, and put him in a prison house; for he was in a rage with him because of this thing. And Asa oppressed some of the people the same time.” Verse 10. {PK 113.3; PR.83.3}
“In the thirty and ninth year of his reign,” Asa was “diseased in his feet, until his disease was exceeding great: yet in his disease he sought not to the Lord, but to the physicians.” Verse 12. The king died in the forty-first year of his reign and was succeeded by Jehoshaphat, his son. {PK 113.4; PR.83.4}
Two years before the death of Asa, Ahab began to rule in the kingdom of Israel. From the beginning his reign was marked by a strange and terrible apostasy. His father, Omri, the founder of Samaria, had “wrought evil in the eyes of the Lord, and did worse than all that were before him” (1 Kings 16:25); but the sins of Ahab were even greater. He “did more to provoke the Lord God of Israel to anger than all the kings of Israel that were before him,” acting “as if it had been a light thing for him to walk in the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat.” Verses 33, 31. Not content with encouraging the forms of religious service followed at Bethel and Dan, he boldly led the people into the grossest heathenism, by setting aside the worship of Jehovah for Baal worship. {PK 114.1; PR.83.5}
Taking to wife Jezebel, “the daughter of Ethbaal king of the Zidonians” and high priest of Baal, Ahab “served Baal, and worshiped him. And he reared up an altar for Baal in the house of Baal, which he had built in Samaria.” Verses 31, 32. {PK 114.2; PR.84.1}
Not only did Ahab introduce Baal worship at the capital city, but under the leadership of Jezebel he erected heathen altars in many “high places,” where in the shelter of surrounding groves the priests and others connected with this seductive form of idolatry exerted their baleful influence, until well-nigh all Israel were following after Baal. “There was none like unto Ahab,” who “did sell himself to work wickedness in the sight of the Lord, whom Jezebel his wife stirred up. And he did very abominably in following idols, according to all things as did the Amorites, whom the Lord cast out before the children of Israel.” 1 Kings 21:25, 26. {PK 114.3; PR.84.2}
Ahab was weak in moral power. His union by marriage with an idolatrous woman of decided character and positive temperament resulted disastrously both to himself and to the nation. Unprincipled, and with no high standard of rightdoing, his character was easily molded by the determined spirit of Jezebel. His selfish nature was incapable of appreciating the mercies of God to Israel and his own obligations as the guardian and leader of the chosen people. {PK 115.1; PR.84.3}
Under the blighting influence of Ahab’s rule, Israel wandered far from the living God and corrupted their ways before Him. For many years they had been losing their sense of reverence and godly fear; and now it seemed as if there were none who dared expose their lives by openly standing forth in opposition to the prevailing blasphemy. The dark shadow of apostasy covered the whole land. Images of Baalim and Ashtoreth were everywhere to be seen. Idolatrous temples and consecrated groves, wherein were worshiped the works of men’s hands, were multiplied. The air was polluted with the smoke of the sacrifices offered to false gods. Hill and vale resounded with the drunken cries of a heathen priesthood who sacrificed to the sun, moon, and stars. {PK 115.2; PR.84.4}
Through the influence of Jezebel and her impious priests, the people were taught that the idol gods that had been set up were deities, ruling by their mystic power the elements of earth, fire, and water. All the bounties of heaven—the running brooks, the streams of living water, the gentle dew, the showers of rain which refreshed the earth and caused the fields to bring forth abundantly—were ascribed to the favor of Baal and Ashtoreth, instead of to the Giver of every good and perfect gift. The people forgot that the hills and valleys, the streams and fountains, were in the hand of the living God, that He controlled the sun, the clouds of heaven, and all the powers of nature. {PK 115.3; PR.85.1}
Through faithful messengers the Lord sent repeated warnings to the apostate king and the people, but in vain were these words of reproof. In vain did the inspired messengers assert Jehovah’s right to be the only God in Israel; in vain did they exalt the laws that He had entrusted to them. Captivated by the gorgeous display and the fascinating rites of idol worship, the people followed the example of the king and his court, and gave themselves up to the intoxicating, degrading pleasures of a sensual worship. In their blind folly they chose to reject God and His worship. The light so graciously given them had become darkness. The fine gold had become dim. {PK 116.1; PR.85.2}
Alas, how had the glory of Israel departed! Never before had the chosen people of God fallen so low in apostasy. Of “the prophets of Baal” there were “four hundred and fifty,” besides four hundred “prophets of the groves.” 1 Kings 18:19. Nothing short of the miracle-working power of God could preserve the nation from utter destruction. Israel had voluntarily separated herself from Jehovah, yet the Lord in compassion still yearned after those who had been led into sin, and He was about to send to them one of the mightiest of His prophets, through whom many were to be led back to allegiance to the God of their fathers. {PK 116.2; PR.85.3}
Testimony: 10-10-2017
Beloved, October 10, 2017; 6:45 in the morning. The word of God came to me and said:
“Woe to those who twist the truth to feel calm! because they will only receive ridicule, blessed is he who trusts in Me!; There is a way that seems right to man but its end is the way of death; Israel will soon cry, because they trusted their soothsayer and false prophets who foreshadowed good when I, the Eternal, have declared evil; Why do you doubt my words and have my sayings as speculation?” {Daisy Escalante: 10-10-2017 , en.p1}
“Woe to you who put your feelings above a “it is written, and then you cry out for protection that you will not have!; because you have usurped my mandates with your reasoning and you do not divulge what was taught.” {Daisy Escalante: 10-10-2017 , en.p2}
“Woe that it will come upon you and you will not escape!, because even children recognize the summer; What is the use of explanations and evidence if your reasoning is the only thing that counts?” {Daisy Escalante: 10-10-2017 , en.p3}
“Woe to you – the voice kept saying – because in a moment it will only be your lament and who will console you? you rejected the prophets and not even my own voice did you want to hear, you only heard doomsayers who said “peace” and “peace”, when I have spoken of war; but as you did not repent – He continued saying – even so a spirit of error will come upon you and you will not even know when you were born because you have rejected the Holy One of Israel and thus the Holy One of Israel has rejected you.” {Daisy Escalante: 10-10-2017 , en.p4}
“There is no understanding in Israel” – He kept saying – “because they rejected me and did not want my advice, and now who will guide you? Blessed is he who trusts in me and makes me his advice and my commands his rule of action! Behold, fire, brimstone, smoke and pestilence are lurking because my hand is raised, why do they ignore my words and then cry out for me?” continued saying. Then He paused and said: “Will there be a savior in Sodom and will Gomorrah be able to free herself? Assyria will come upon you, and Egypt will enslave you because you have rejected the advice and trampled the right. Babylon will reign and believe that nothing will happen to her, and her subjects praise her.” {Daisy Escalante: 10-10-2017 , en.p5}
“Woe to the ships of Chitim! Woe to Adma and Zeboim! Woe to those who follow you without knowing where they are going! For destruction will follow.”
Then again He paused and continued saying:
“Woe to you, Jerusalem, who congregate with Babylon! You are together with her to feel accepted. Have I not been a good husband that you should go after your lovers? If even when fire falls from heaven, before your eyes, you will not seek me because you loved your delights more than righteousness and your power more than truth.” {Daisy Escalante: 10-10-2017 , en.p6}
“Woe to those who work in you for a price and sell their freedom for a price! can I not cast them off in an hour? and what they have, whose will it be? He asked. As I live, says the Eternal, that judgment after judgment, and punishment after punishment will come upon you and you will not escape because you were not the guardian or guardian of my truth; Come out of her, my people, go to your chambers, close your doors behind you while the indignation passes, because Jerusalem will be desolate and her followers, of price and bribe, will be swept away, because for this there is a term, because they rejected the advice and turned aside of righteousness and trampled on cause and truth and did not seek the Holy One of Israel.” {Daisy Escalante: 10-10-2017 , en.p7}
He kept saying: “I, says the Eternal, declare destruction, fear and torment over you, and your glory who will it be for? He asked. You defiled my truth, you decreed evil to the upright and you rejoiced with the wicked, you became a den of every hateful bird, so you rejected it and desired it. I preserved you with my truth, pure and holy, but you did not want to and now your disguise is fallen and your evil will be openly known because you say you are the keeper of my commandments but you trample them.” {Daisy Escalante: 10-10-2017 , en.p8}
“Woe to you!, as I live – says the Eternal – that I will not suffer you anymore, I will not protest any more, for me, because your protests have been bought with a price and you have rejected the Holy One of Israel and you have become a spoiled sister of a whore, will she protect you? And will not mock you?” He asked, “will you be the apple of her eye for her as you have been for me?” {Daisy Escalante: 10-10-2017 , en.p9}
“As I live,” says the Eternal, “they will make you a spoilage; And as you turned your back on the one who guided and sustained you, the Holy One of Israel, I will no longer be your guide, and only the blind will be leading the blind, and you will know that I am a jealous God who visits wickedness and abominates iniquity. Your ally will praise you and magnify you, and in a moment, but suddenly you will fall, and there is no one to help you because you trampled on the Just and hold back the truth and did not walk in integrity. Everyone will see you, and will celebrate for you thinking that the union is fulfilled, but soon they will see that there is a handful that follows me and lives hidden in me. You will join the oppressive laws, and you will try to subdue and destroy it, but you will not realize that my hand protects them and they live under the shadow of the Most High.” {Daisy Escalante: 10-10-2017 , en.p10}
“Woe to you, because it is a great thing to fall under the hand of the Most High, they will go up first with my protection, but when it touches you, who will protect you? I gave them my Saturday as a sign and what have you done with them? There is no one in you who teaches law and justice that is not trampled on, this is your hour, but your reward awaits you.” {Daisy Escalante: 10-10-2017 , en.p11}
“My real people are not in you, for my guide leads them away from you because of your abominations. You discarded the prophecy and twisted the right, and you do not bear my name, how did you think of being my beloved under such betrayal? As I live, says the Eternal, that everything is written for your destruction.” {Daisy Escalante: 10-10-2017 , en.p12}
Then, beloved, He paused again and said: “My people, abandoned and persecuted! today I gather you in my rooms and I will redeem you and sustain you with the right hand of my justice, and although you are very few, next to me, you will be strong. After the hardship, you will be for a moment, and at last my spirit will rest fully in you, and you will come out of your rooms that I have taken you, and you will be a herald of faith and truth. The great whore and her followers will see you and will see the one to whom my truth was taken and twisted it and who was rejected and after being scared she will hate you and will try to lay her hands but will not prevail, because in me, it is time to shine with great light, final light to this world of darkness, many will come and many will be rescued; but finishing the count the light will be hidden by me, and your pursuers will not escape from my hand. For seven times I will hurt them and in their agony they will seek a solution, even more so there is a deadline for this. But when they want to attack you with blood and their hunt begins, I will rise from my place and what I have spoken will come upon them, and there will be no escape, and my hand and everyone will know that I am God and that there is none like Me . But my true children are hidden under my wings and they will see your torment in the distance, but they will not perish, because their food and water will be safe, did I not stipulate it by my servants the prophets? -said the Eternal- Have I forgotten?” {Daisy Escalante: 10-10-2017 , en.p13}
“I am the Alpha and the Omega,” He kept saying, “the beginning and the end,” and my saying will be fulfilled as stipulated; “advance my people, do not stop!, He said, because your adversary the devil is plotting against you to destroy you. Enter your chambers!” {Daisy Escalante: 10-10-2017 , en.p14}
“My punishments with mercy are everywhere and even so the wicked do not repent. They run for their lives from here to there, but they will not prevail”
“But you my people keep calm, because I will be your sustainer in the middle of this, trust me” -He said-, “and advance by faith and not by sight and you will be rewarded by your faith. Do not burden, He continued saying, or abandon, or despair, because you are sculpted in the palm of my hands and although the storm rages my wings will await you. Have I failed you? and He Himself answered: in no way!.” {Daisy Escalante: 10-10-2017 , en.p15}
Then, He continued saying, “as I live, says the Eternal, that my eyes are on those who seek me and obey me, and my peace will be with them. Here I have revealed what has to happen quickly because the deadline is about to be met, take this message -He told me- and do not stop, because the wise will understand and all those who are written in the book of life will know what I am saying.” {Daisy Escalante: 10-10-2017 , en.p16}
“My chosen ones, I will gather I and they will no longer be scattered, because they followed me even in the tribulation and kept my commandments, for which I increased their faith, blessed is the one who trusts in Me and keeps all these things because your redemption is near! -He said. -. To the law and to the testimony, if they do not say according to this it is because it has not dawned on them! Go ahead, tell them, He said, to hurry to find their place and not to forget my instructions; He repeated to me, a small house, land where they can sow, water, their own water; river, spring, well, that has water.” {Daisy Escalante: 10-10-2017 , en.p17}
“Seek Me and you will live,” He said, “reject Me and you will die,” it is time to cry out for the total anointing of the Holy Spirit, because if you do not receive it you will not be able to withstand the great storm that is coming. So, having said this, what else will you be busy with? He said. Seek my approval, with fear and trembling, so that in this hour you can live. Put aside the anxieties of the world and seek your salvation, for there is not in me change, and the final work is already advanced, tremble and do not sin, meditate on your beds and be silent and trust in Jehovah. I stand at the door and knock, everyone whose soul is upright will hear my voice, my voice, and will understand. So be vigilant, -He told me- and hurry because all this will pass, but my word will not pass. Run and say these words so that my wish in them is fulfilled.” Then He ended with these words: “be faithful until death and I will give you the crown of life.” May the Lord bless you. {Daisy Escalante: 10-10-2017 , en.p18}
Testimony: 12-05-2018
Beloved, December 5, 2018. In dreams I saw how many women were preparing for weddings. They went into rooms and were dressing up, and each one took great care in this preparation. I observed that each of them dressed in a unique way, avoiding repeating the preparation of the others that were also preparing there. I heard them express themselves and one said: “he will choose me.” And another said: “no, you don’t, you don’t have what I have.” I also heard another say: “I am purer than you.” Yet another said, with a great laugh: “poor conceited!, I carry something that you do not have and that is what is needed to be elected.” The others looked at her and saw nothing in her that would make them see any difference between them, and that last one then exclaimed: “pretending, I’ve been pretending all this time, but now after being chosen I won’t have to pretend anymore.” In that I heard the noise of a chain, I searched with my eyes for the noise that I had heard with my ears, and I saw in the distance, behind, far behind all of them, a woman in chains; She was crying and crying out for deliverance, and she looked tired, bruised, and suffering. {Daisy Escalante: 12-05-2018 , en.p1}
Then I heard a trumpet sound, that noise was unique, and a voice like a roar throughout the firmament, and it said something that I did not understand, but that suffering woman understood. The others were pale with terror, and all this was happening before me. {Daisy Escalante: 12-05-2018 , en.p2}
Then I saw an open door in Heaven and a light was coming out of it, and I heard again the noise of all the chains. I looked away from the Heaven and turned to look at the chained woman, I saw her that she was standing and the chains had fallen before her, and she was no longer imprisoned. The wicked woman, more than all, shouted to the others: “run! let’s catch her! don’t let her escape!. But this, fixed her eyes at Heaven began to rise and passed over them, and entered through the door of heaven that was open and from which light emanated. The door closed and I didn’t see her anymore. Then I looked at the women, the ones who wanted to catch this suffering woman, and I only saw some of their clothing, because their body was lying on the ground, turned to dust. {Daisy Escalante: 12-05-2018 , en.p3}
There, beloved, I woke up, I woke up startled before such a scene, praying and crying out to God for His faithful people on the broad face of the earth. Let’s get ready brothers! The Lord is very close! He is speaking very clearly to His people, I hope, and I pray, it is my request and prayer that each of us can understand what the Lord wants to say to each one of us. May Lord bless you. {Daisy Escalante: 12-05-2018 , en.p4}
Testimony: 06-22-2019
Beloveds, June 22 2019. In dreams, I was taken to a place where we were looking to reunite. We were not carrying cell phones because they could no longer be used. I could see how young people, and some adults, clung to these devices and cried for them. I could hear them cursing the system that turned them off. I saw them like drug addicts – desperate for their drug at any cost, but cannot get it. Their meaningless lives were now leading them adrift. And I saw them as programmed robots, who now, without programming, did not know what to do. My companion said: “come and see.” I then saw a great mountain of young people, and some adults, who were obsolete to the present, existing time. These were not prepared to give with their faith the final battle. Said my companion: “They knew it, but they silenced their conscience. Everything that hindered them was their bitterest enemy. They did not see that truth, justice and mercy were passing before them. It will be too late for them to wake up,” He continued telling me. And again He said to me: “observe. At that moment I saw a young man, a dying young man staggering out of that mountain. And I encouraged him. I called out to him and said, “Run, run, run, the car is almost gone, come on, get on!” I saw him running exhausted and staggering. He was struggling to reach the car, but he couldn’t reach. At one he ran and with a cry of pain jumped up and grabbed the fender of the car, but he could not hold on, and soon fell to the ground and I saw him no more. {Daisy Escalante: 06-22-2019 , en.p1}
I suffered bitterly at not seeing that young man anymore. We continued in that bus, where what we were looking around us was all pain, it was a lot of sadness and desolation was seen. The scene changed and He said to me: “come and see.” I said: “Ah, Lord! My sadness is very great, grant me to see no more.” And He said to me, “You must see, only then can you understand.” Then I looked and saw many baskets of babies. These baskets were covered with blankets, so I began to uncover them. In them I saw children. Their faces were of adults, but the face of their body was that of a baby. There, as I uncovered them to see them, I saw many acquaintances and my being shuddered. I asked, “Why are they like this if they were adults?” And He answered me in a sad tone, almost crying, “They did not perceive the truth in front of them. It seemed hard, difficult and meaningless to them. They neglected everything spiritual and put their greatest attention to the material, and this is their result: they did not grow, remaining as spiritual babies, without strength. And if with those on foot they could not, how can they with those on horseback?” I wept bitterly, beloved, for them, but there was nothing more to do. {Daisy Escalante: 06-22-2019 , en.p2}
At that moment I woke up and was given two biblical quotations, “Jeremiah 3 and Jeremiah 4:2-3”. May the Lord bless you. {Daisy Escalante: 06-22-2019 , en.p3}
Jeremiah 3
1 They say, If a man put away his wife, and she go from him, and become another man’s, shall he return unto her again? shall not that land be greatly polluted? but thou hast played the harlot with many lovers; yet return again to me, saith the LORD.
2 Lift up thine eyes unto the high places, and see where thou hast not been lien with. In the ways hast thou sat for them, as the Arabian in the wilderness; and thou hast polluted the land with thy whoredoms and with thy wickedness.
3 Therefore the showers have been withholden, and there hath been no latter rain; and thou hadst a whore’s forehead, thou refusedst to be ashamed.
4 Wilt thou not from this time cry unto me, My father, thou art the guide of my youth?
5 Will he reserve his anger for ever? will he keep it to the end? Behold, thou hast spoken and done evil things as thou couldest.
6 The LORD said also unto me in the days of Josiah the king, Hast thou seen that which backsliding Israel hath done? she is gone up upon every high mountain and under every green tree, and there hath played the harlot.
7 And I said after she had done all these things, Turn thou unto me. But she returned not. And her treacherous sister Judah saw it.
8 And I saw, when for all the causes whereby backsliding Israel committed adultery I had put her away, and given her a bill of divorce; yet her treacherous sister Judah feared not, but went and played the harlot also.
9 And it came to pass through the lightness of her whoredom, that she defiled the land, and committed adultery with stones and with stocks.
10 And yet for all this her treacherous sister Judah hath not turned unto me with her whole heart, but feignedly, saith the LORD.
11 And the LORD said unto me, The backsliding Israel hath justified herself more than treacherous Judah.
12 Go and proclaim these words toward the north, and say, Return, thou backsliding Israel, saith the LORD; and I will not cause mine anger to fall upon you: for I am merciful, saith the LORD, and I will not keep anger for ever.
13 Only acknowledge thine iniquity, that thou hast transgressed against the LORD thy God, and hast scattered thy ways to the strangers under every green tree, and ye have not obeyed my voice, saith the LORD.
14 Turn, O backsliding children, saith the LORD; for I am married unto you: and I will take you one of a city, and two of a family, and I will bring you to Zion:
15 And I will give you pastors according to mine heart, which shall feed you with knowledge and understanding.
16 And it shall come to pass, when ye be multiplied and increased in the land, in those days, saith the LORD, they shall say no more, The ark of the covenant of the LORD: neither shall it come to mind: neither shall they remember it; neither shall they visit it; neither shall that be done any more.
17 At that time they shall call Jerusalem the throne of the LORD; and all the nations shall be gathered unto it, to the name of the LORD, to Jerusalem: neither shall they walk any more after the imagination of their evil heart.
18 In those days the house of Judah shall walk with the house of Israel, and they shall come together out of the land of the north to the land that I have given for an inheritance unto your fathers.
19 But I said, How shall I put thee among the children, and give thee a pleasant land, a goodly heritage of the hosts of nations? and I said, Thou shalt call me, My father; and shalt not turn away from me.
20 Surely as a wife treacherously departeth from her husband, so have ye dealt treacherously with me, O house of Israel, saith the LORD.
21 A voice was heard upon the high places, weeping and supplications of the children of Israel: for they have perverted their way, and they have forgotten the LORD their God.
22 Return, ye backsliding children, and I will heal your backslidings. Behold, we come unto thee; for thou art the LORD our God.
23 Truly in vain is salvation hoped for from the hills, and from the multitude of mountains: truly in the LORD our God is the salvation of Israel.
24 For shame hath devoured the labour of our fathers from our youth; their flocks and their herds, their sons and their daughters.
25 We lie down in our shame, and our confusion covereth us: for we have sinned against the LORD our God, we and our fathers, from our youth even unto this day, and have not obeyed the voice of the LORD our God.
Jeremiah 4:2-3
2 And thou shalt swear, The LORD liveth, in truth, in judgment, and in righteousness; and the nations shall bless themselves in him, and in him shall they glory.
3 For thus saith the LORD to the men of Judah and Jerusalem, Break up your fallow ground, and sow not among thorns.

June 2, 2020. In front of me three beds, there, I saw. A twin, personal size, single bed; a full, two-person, double bed; and a king size, the largest bed. These beds were there, in front of me. Soon I heard an order. I was told, “make these beds.” {Daisy Escalante: 06-02-2020 , en.p1}
I immediately grabbed a quilt that was there, along with others, and began to do so, starting with the smallest bed. I struggled to make it all fit. Then I moved on to the bed that was bigger, the full bed, the two-person bed; and I also went through some work. But when I moved to the larger bed, everything was even, as the bedspreads were all king, and the bed fitting was exact and perfect in symmetry. Then it was said to me, “so it is when the body is at the height of the dress, so, in that way, when the character is in God’s measure, His garment, the garment of righteousness, remains in great symmetry with the mortal body, and will transform it into a heavenly citizen.” {Daisy Escalante: 06-02-2020 , en.p2}
As I was thinking and meditating on this, the scene changed. I was looking at a mountain, and, as I looked at it, it exploded as when a volcano erupts, and there was much suffering and pain. This volcano exploded in a place never foreseen, and unexpected, and caused great fear and damage to the immediate population. After that, while I was watching all this, and the fright of those people seeing this unexpectedly happen, the scene passed. {Daisy Escalante: 06-02-2020 , en.p3}
And I saw how a lady was holding on to a mail check, it was a money order, and it was with tears and holes in it, but she was fighting for it. I heard her say, “it’s the only thing I have, if I lose it, what will I do, I can’t lose it!” And she was grabbing her head thinking what would become of her without that check. While this was going on in front of me, I was observing it. {Daisy Escalante: 06-02-2020 , en.p4}
The scene changed again. And I saw young men absorbed in their dreams and thoughts. And I saw how the enemy, and his angels, were instigating them to continue in this vain thinking, while events were running on the imminent appearance of the Lord Jesus. I tried to awaken and exhort them, but they were spellbound and hypnotized. I saw them wander aimlessly, their minds gone and their eyes wandering. Soon, I heard a very loud noise, and saw that the car in which they were riding had crashed, and no one was moving. I wept beloved, bitterly for these young people! But there was nothing more to do. {Daisy Escalante: 06-02-2020 , en.p5}
At that moment, there, I woke up. Praying, asking the Lord, imploring the Lord for the young people, and for other people; for all the people who are not yet realizing. [So] that, by His grace and by His mercy, they may wake up and realize that the imminent coming of the Lord is already there. But, before that, all the things that are going to be happening, the strong trial that we are going to have before us. May God grant that we be ready. This is my plea and prayer. May the Lord bless us. {Daisy Escalante: 06-02-2020 , en.p6}
Testimony: 04-16-2021
April 16, 2021. I saw a man dive into the depths of a crystal clear water, he would go to the depths swimming like a fish and came out without any problems, catch the sun on the shore and dive back in. Then I heard a voice saying to me: “You must learn to swim like him!” Then I exclaimed: “Oh Lord, I am very afraid of deep waters and that is why I have never learned to swim!” Then He answered me: “You must learn to swim like him and together you will rejoice in the deep waters!” Then I replied: “Oh Lord how will this be? I am older and my fear in this is not yet gone!” Then He said to me: “Go up to a secluded place and I will make you deepen in My wisdom and you will prepare a people who only float in the waters!” {Daisy Escalante: 04-16-2021 , en.p1}
Then my eyes were opened and I saw that there were many who floated, only one man could go to the bottom and he swam in those waters like an agile fish, and he came out from time to time to catch the sun on the banks of that crystalline river. Then I saw a group of seductive women arrive, and they entered the waters and seduced those who were floating in the waters; and while this was happening, the man who was going down to the depths entered the water and these women were rolling towards him in the waters, swimming rapidly; he was not aware of it, I shouted to him, but he did not hear me because he was in deep waters. Then I saw a light coming out of the heavens touch the waters and huge bars came between the man who was alone in the depths and the women who were rapidly swimming towards him; these became angry and joined with those who were seducing and were plotting to harm him. Then it was said to me: “go near him and touch the waters!” So I did, and when I touched them, these became turbulent where these angry ones were, and they struggled with the turbulent waters until they perished. {Daisy Escalante: 04-16-2021 , en.p2}
Thus I was commanded to retire to a high place to learn heavenly wisdom there, to be able to impart it.
O beloved brothers, I rejoice in the Lord, my Savior; of how He instructs each one of us, so that we may be able to go forward in His ways, in His work; let us analyze the words of the Eternal and may we be able to realize. God grant it be so, that He leads a people, not by human hand but by His divine hand. May the Lord bless us. {Daisy Escalante: 04-16-2021 , en.p3}
