The word of God is a rich treasure hunt that yields jewels of truth for those who are seekers. Proverbs 25 says, it is the glory of God to conceal a matter, the glory of kings to search it out. In the Message translation they use the word scientists in place of kings and the Holy Spirit whispered to me “archeologists could be another word for kings in this passage.”

Being one who loves to dig into the word of God and find the treasures it holds, the Lord always reveals truth that brings joy. Today I was reading the book of Judges and in Judges 4 it speaks of Deborah, a prophetess and judge of Israel. The story goes on to speak of another woman named Jael, who drives a tent peg through the commander of the enemy armies head.

The Holy Spirit highlighted Deborah’s name, which means Bee or Honey and then highlighted Jael and how she served the commander of the enemies army milk when he asked for water. The Holy Spirit showed me that these two women in these few verses in Judges 4 speak of the land of milk and honey.

Jael representing the milk and Deborah representing the honey. It’s not about gender, but it sure is fun to see these two women who were used to defeat an enemy of Israel in battle, with unconventional weapons like milk and honey or as the story goes a tent peg, which is the vav in Hebrew and is connected to the Messiah.

The word of God is always unveiling truths in stories we have heard so many times, but new revelations are coming forth. To think of Jael and Deborah as milk and honey and the tent peg as the Messiah, adds value to the promised land of milk and honey being our inheritance in the Messiah. Friends, these are not just stories, these are prophetic declarations of truths that point to Yeshua our Messiah, who is our promised land of milk and honey!!!!

He still uses unconventional weapons to defeat the enemy and opens our eyes to His activity in milk and honey. Www.apostolicresourcecenter.org
