5:16a.m., January 14, 2026

Though I have not yet sat down to do my study for today, something of amazement was just revealed (deposited) to me, revealing to me that today was a day of listening, and not studying. (I am smiling as I remember that God is not to be boxed in as if there is only one way that He speaks to us. Yes, I am remembering when God told Moses to speak to the rock, but Moses chose to hit the rock instead, reverting back to old ways. Today, I didn’t have to drash (Heb. for dig deep). Today, I received sod (Heb. the unveiling of secrets). Deuteronomy 29:29

Today, I was unexpectedly shown the unique connection between Noah, Moses, and King David, and through the connection came answers to questions I’ve raised in the presence of the Lord.

🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯

At this sitting, I realize that I am writing more so for myself. I know that many don’t like to read. But, for those who do, oowee, the blessing that is in store. Anyway, for now, I write to remember.

Yesterday, Tuesday, January 13, 2026, was a day that started off normal.

I sat down to begin my studies on the next blessing that I was ready to pick up. (The Something Old/ Something New YouTube series of my personal studies of Leviticus 26:1-13)

PEACE is the next blessing. (To be more accurate, more in-depth information on the Covenant of Peace which I initially picked up as the last of the blessings being revealed through my drash of Leviticus 26:5.)

The next verse, Leviticus 26:6, began by telling me that I would be given peace in the land, and I knew yesterday that this would be bigger than the surface level understanding that is received just by reading the words of the verse. I knew it was something more.

I knew it was bigger because of everything that I encountered the day I prepared to begin my study of that third part of Leviticus 26:5 where I was told that I would dwell in my land safely. 

That day, Monday, January 5, 2026 was crazy from hours after I awoke a little after 4am to find a gecko in my tub, which disturbed my peace and subsequently the peace of my husband whom I awoke from sleep to get it out of my bathroom. (We have separate bathrooms.) I still cant fathom how it got in the house, how long it had been in the house, or why of all of the places to go in the house, why was my bathroom tub chosen? All I know is that I’m glad that I saw it before I got in the tub to shower. IJS.

Little did i know that I was about to receive more than a blessing. Little did I know that I was about to receive a covenant – the covenant of peace. I was up at 4am because I wanted to get ready early for my 8am doctors appointment so that I could spend the remaining time sitting still in the presence of the Lord studying.

After the incident with the gecko, and then reading that I will dwell safely in the land, I found myself thanking the Lord that I saw the gecko that was in the bathroom with me the entire time without my knowledge. I thanked the Lord because when I walked in the bathroom, I did not see the gecko. When I first moved to pull the curtain for the shower I did not see the gecko. I did not even hear it move. But after I pulled the curtain, my eyeballs zeroed in on it sitting in my tub, not moving, but alive. I thanked the Lord that this intruder revealed itself. I thank the Lord that I was kept from harm because had I been in the tub with it, things would not have played out well and I would have been greatly injured – I already know. But though the weapon formed, it did not prosper. Thank you Lord.

I will dwell in the land safely.

I left out to go to my doctors appointment at 8am. I knew that my labs would be great. But what I didn’t anticipate was my blood pressure to be elevated. Nothing I did prior to leaving the house lowered it. That was the only issue that was of concern to my doctor, and of course I blamed it on the gecko.

We had not been gone from the doctor’s office a good ten minutes before we found ourselves in a major car accident approximately 9:30a.m. Both events, the gecko and the car accident, happened the day of my receiving the Covenant of Peace, so yes, I knew this was huge.

What I didn’t know was how huge. 

Fast forward to this past Saturday, January 10, 2026, where once again I am allowed to see the Covenant of Peace again, but this time in My Sabbath Study which entails Understanding Covenants. Instead of being allowed to look at and dig further into to understand the Covenant of Peace; instead, what I experienced is that I was drilled in the Warning against Covenant Unfaithfulness.

Not once, not twice, but 3 days in a row. Below I will place a link to each of the videos. WARNING: They are potent and revealing of what we are seeing happening in religion that is being exposed today.

Saturday: The Warning against Covenant Unfaithfulness begins here: Part One – 011026 Part 1 My Sabbath Studies – Understanding Covenant [Numbers 25] ; Part Two – 011026 Part 2 My Sabbath Studies – Understanding Covenant [Numbers 25]

Sunday: Remember What Happened In Acacia Grove 011126 Review of My Sabbath Studies – Understanding Covenant [Numbers 25]

Monday: The Three FACES of Covenant Unfaithfulness [2026Jan12] video 16 Something Old Something New, the Blessing Pt 14

Are you listening? I was trying to listen.  I was trying to understand.

Then yesterday, Tuesday, January 13th, as I attempted to study Leviticus 26:6 regarding the peace that I would be given in the land, I was met with numerous distractions and a great inability to focus.

I shut down and took a nap. Upon awakening, I wanted to start over, but I wasnt allowed to return to my study. I felt like there was a block in my spirit. So, I worked instead on editing some audio files for a client’s project.

I was able to get a lot done in organizing and reorganizing the files completed and to be worked on. Then, suddenly, I felt a thickness in the air – a weight that pressed me, squeezed me, out of the blue. I started to struggle, but I ended up hearing a song that spoke to me that something great was coming, doors opening, which was a comfort for me and a call for me to just breathe through what i was feeling because I was in labor.

Spiritual labor – birthing something in the spirit that I was not yet aware of. I have been here so many times before, building something that even I don’t know of or understand. Doing my part.

My husband, who was cooking dinner, brought my plate to me and that was my excuse to leave. I ate dinner with him. Then, I went to bed early. I let go and let God.

And that is it. Im doing my part. Sometimes my part is to sit and study and share. Sometimes my part is to write and record. Sometimes my part is to just be still. When I am called to study, write, and record, it consumes me. Yet, I have absolutely no idea of the magnitude of what I am doing.  I just know Im drawn to it. Im drawn to sit and dig deep into that which I am being called to look at.

So here I am, again. Today is Wednesday, January 14, 2026. I was awakened long before I got here. Pulled and pushed to get up. At first, not knowing the time, I just laid there, in bed, just talking to the Lord. Half woke, half sleep. Taking my blood pressure. Glancing at the results, but not yet sitting up.

What made me finally get up?
Im not sure. But I did.

What made me ask the questions that led to my writing here?

I was remembering what I studied on Tuesday, January 13th. I was reviewing in my thoughts (meditating upon) what I remembered about the study and where I left off, unfinished. My plan was to revisit it after I had considered it prayerfully before the Lord.

I considered my first reference which had me looking at Solomon, the son of King David, and I remembered how I saw a connection between Solomon and King Jesus. My intent was to sit down to study and pick up where I left off. But I never made it to my office to do so.

I remember thinking about how what God spoke to David was bigger than what David thought it was, and I reflected on how when God gives us assignments its bigger than what we think. Case in point: Ezekiel and the Valley of Dry Bones.

We be trying to work things out according to the plans we think we understood, and the vision be so much bigger. Did God not tell us to not lean upon our own understanding? (With that,  i am now reminded of what God told us at Proverbs 3:5-6.)

Thats why we are to take one step at a time. That is why we are to walk and not run. Running is akin to pushing ahead. But with walking, each step is purposeful. So we are told to walk with the Lord, not run with Him.

Something big is coming.
Something for which makes my writings and videos purposeful.
Something for which I am given warnings and instructions that I press to understand, all the while knowing that what I think I understand I really don’t because its so much bigger.

Now to the Reader: I hope that you enjoyed this thus far but the silver gold and diamonds is in the next section if you choose to deep dive. It’s the wealth that was deposited in me and answers to questions I had raised. It is the wealth of the Covenant of Peace. It’s up to you.

I hope you choose to continue on. But if you don’t, thank you for reading this far.

For those who continue on, Your access has been granted to view:

The Ark

NOAH

Noah built an ark.
God gave Noah the blueprints and Noah did just so. Genesis 6:22; 7:5.

He built an ark that was to be the prototype for what was coming – the Covenant of Peace. All that Noah knew was that he was building something to protect him, his family and all that God brought to him to be kept. Noah had no idea how truly big this was that he was doing. The next thing that we are told happened is that God spoke peace to the earth after the flood was used to cleanse it. Genesis 8:21-9:17.

We dont even have a clue about what God sees when He looks down upon the earth. Our POV is different. We look up to catch glimpses of beautiful rainbows 🌈. So, what we see doesnt compare at all to what God sees when He looks down at the rainbow.

MOSES

Moses was given a blueprint. Moses was given instructions for the building of an ark too. Where Noah’s ark, built in obedience to the instructions given, protected himself, his family of 8, and all of the wide variety of animals that were with him, Moses’ ark was to hold the instructions (the Law – 10 commandments) that was to govern himself and the nation of Israel, and ultimately be taught to the Gentiles. It was a law that, through obedience, it would bring peace to the earth.The problem is that the Israelites kept failing over, and over, and over in being obedient.

God loved them. He disciplined them. He forgave them. They failed again. But God loved them. He disciplined them. He forgave them. They failed again…

Knowing man, God decided to do it Himself because man absolutely couldn’t. Isaiah 57:14-21

Do what?
Fulfill the requirements of peace.

What is the requirements of peace?
Obedience

To what?
Obedience to the ten commandments that was housed in the ark.

What was those commandments?

• 1. Have no other god before our God.
• 2. Make no idols to bow down to and worship of nothing in heaven on earth or under the water.
• 3. Do not take the name of the Lord in vain.
• 4. Keep the Sabbath holy.
• 5. Honor our parents (father and mother).
• 6. Do not murder.
• 7. Do not commit adultery.
• 8. Do not lie.
• 9. Do not steal.
• 10. Do not covet.

Jesus Christ summed it up in one word LOVE. Love for God and Love for our neighbor.

Obedience to these commandments brought peace. Peace with God, and peace with man. Nevertheless, these commandments, written on stone, was broken by man – a demonstration of covenant unfaithfulness. This is what the Israelites kept failing at. This is what God came to earth to fulfill so that He could give this to us.

Give what to us?
Peace

The Israelites broke the covenant continuously. While Moses was alive, he interceded for them, and begged God to not reject them completely. Exodus 32-34.

God spoke of a new covenant – one not written on stone. God was already preparing for us, all the way back then. Deuteronomy 29:9-29; Jeremiah 31:33; Ezekiel 36:26; 2 Corinthians 3:3; Hebrews 8:10.

DAVID

A warrior king, was the 3rd king of Israel. [Note: Abimelech, son of Gideon, was the first king of Israel. See Judges 9:22] He was also the 2nd person to receive the Covenant of Peace.

Oh wow. (Now I’m receiving what I struggled to get to this past Sabbath in my study of Numbers 25.)

The first person to receive the Covenant of Peace from God was Phinehas, son of Eleasar, son of Aaron, the High Priest. Phinehas received the Covenant of Peace not just for himself, but also for his descendants after him. Numbers 25:10-13.

He received the Covenant of Peace because of how zealous he was for the Lord in that he killed Zimri (descendant of Simeon) and Cosbi (the Midianite princess) for the gross disrespect and dishonor that was shown.

This Covenant of Peace, that was given to Phinehas, was lost by Eli (the high priest) who allowed his sons Hophni and Phinehas ^{(the 2nd)} to grossly disrespect and dishonor God. Eli was made to bear the iniquity of his sons the priests. 1 Samuel 2:27-36. That was my Numbers 18:1 lesson from the Sabbath before last. Wow! Here is a link to My Sabbath Study – Understanding Covenant entitled Bearing the Burden of Iniquity based upon that particular study.

So, now the next person to receive the Covenant of Peace was King David.

Let’s recap:

1. Noah builds an ark to protect his family and the animals (clean and unclean). [That was symbollic of the protection that was to come of the people of God and the nations.]🤯

2. Moses builds an ark to cover the law that was to govern the people. [Love through obedience. Wow! King Jesus said if we loved Him we would keep His commandments. John 14:15]

3.And this brings me to David.

King David, after his many victories, and after building his own house, had a strong desire to build a house for the ark that housed the stone tablets, the jar of manna, the rod of Aaron and…

Wait!
Oh wow. 🤯

Ok, the Philistines placed gold tumors and gold rats inside the ark before sending it back to the Israelites. 1 Samuel 6:1-19.

The Israelites who received it back, opened it, and died.

I always assumed, what’s the saying, “curiosity killed the cat”. But right now, I feel like the ark had to be opened. Because something impure was placed in it.

The motive of the Philistines was not necessarily wrong. They were humbled, and they repented. They did only what they knew how to do. In their lack of truly KNOWING the only true God, they added something that was not supposed to have been added, but it was not counted against them. 

In that is the lesson that the world will not be judged in the same manner as the people of God – fleshly and spiritual Israel. Our judgment will be harsher because we know better. We have God’s word.

Moses taught fleshly Israel, “dont add or take away.” Deuteronomy 4:2. John wrote, “dont add or take away.” Revelation 22:18-19.

God is holy.

So, with the opening of the Ark, that which was placed in it was released from it.

I probably need to go and reread that part of the story again, found in 1 Samuel 5-6.

Yes, a lot of people died because of that. And yes, they took those items out of the ark.

That stands out to me as I consider what King Jesus, and later the Apostle Paul, taught which is that there is no fellowship between God and demons, or mammon. Matthew 6:24; Luke 16:13; 2 Corinthians 6:14.

God is holy.

Wow! This is further proof that the things (rituals) that man do, to try to worship God, the added extra stuff, is not approved by God. Now, God already said that at Isaiah 1:1-20, but we didn’t listen. We didn’t think that God was talking about us. No, we pointed our fingers, and said that God was talking about “them”. Yet, this is more concrete evidence that the holiday celebrations that man has made to try to “celebrate/worship” Jesus is not acceptable to God.

Our trying to do it our way; our trying to justify it, is our rooting ourselves in error, not obedience.

The Philistines learned from the mistakes of the Egyptians, and chose not to repeat it. 1 Samuel 6. God said that these things that were written aforetime were written for our instruction, but are we listening? Romans 15:4

At the end of the day, the God of the Bible we claim to believe to be God’s Word has shown us on more than one occasion how He feels.

But do we listen. 🤯
(I have to come back to this later.)

So the ark, was moved from place, to place, to place, and it was placed in the heart of King David to build a permanent location for it.

He wanted to. (That was good.) But he was not allowed to.

Why?
Because he was a man of war. There was a lot of blood on his hands.

So, he was told that he would have a son. He was told what to name his son – Peaceful, because this son would be a man of peace and would be given rest under the condition that he was OBEDIENT.

This son would be called God’s son, and God would be His Father. And what was that son named?

Solomon.

Did you say Jesus?

Read 1 Chronicles 22:1-19.

Solomon was the son’s name. His name means peaceful. He was called to be a man of peace.  He was named by God. Where am I getting this from, you ask.

1 Chronicles 22:9-10

This is where I left off in my study yesterday because, like you, I also saw King Jesus. Solomon was called a man of peace. But King Jesus is the Prince of Peace.

Like Noah, and like Moses, King David was given instructions to build something that was greater than he even knew.

So, as David now passed the blueprint that he was given to his son, Solomon (whom we all know ended up not being obedient in the end, due to the influence of his foreign wives), he told his son of what the Lord deposited within him. He instructed his son to be obedient, and he warned his son against covenant unfaithfulness.

This thing is so huge that even I struggled with what I was seeing. My struggle was to find the English words to describe what I’m seeing in such a way that this is understood and heard by the healer, reader, and listener of this writing. With the help of the Holy Spirit, I will be able to communicate this effectively.

This past Sabbath, as much as I wanted to talk about the covenant of peace, I found myself consumed in the warning against covenant unfaithfulness.

On the 8th day, Sunday (a nod to Saturday being the 7th day, and an acknowledgement of the importance of the 8th day also), I again tried to speak of the covenant of peace, but I was led back to warning against covenant  unfaithfulness. 

On Monday, excited about getting back to my Something Old Something New studies where I first picked up the Covenant of peace, and ready to dig into it more with the next verse – Leviticus 26:6, I again found myself looking at the 3 faces of Covenant unfaithfulness. 

I called it facets in the video, but now I know its not facets, its faces: Balaam, Nicolaitan, and Jezebel

• Balaam: the one who chased after wealth/money
• Nicolaitan: the one who teaches that we are above the law; that we dont have to obey the law.
• Jezebel: the one who teaches and seduces.

We are seeing this being exposed left and right today in the news regarding pastors, bishops, apostles and prophets in various denominations. This thing is huge, and ultimately, as I unpack this, slowly, what i am made to remember is that the Covenant of Peace has one requirement – OBEDIENCE to God, which is manifested in Love as King Jesus taught. John 14:15.

Where did I leave off?

David, Solomon, and King Jesus…

David wanted to build a house for the ark which he knew was the footstool of God. David knew that God is so beyond great that nothing “man makes” can contain Him.  David wanted to build something so grand and spectacular to house the representation of the footstool.

God gave David a blueprint.
David gave the blueprint with instructions to Solomon. David also gave to Solomon items to begin his work with. Donations towards the work.

Solomon builds the temple in Jerusalem. Everything was good for a while but we know what happened. Keeping it simple: Humanity’s fallen nature is what happened.

Fast forward through many errs of man, Jerusalem, the location where the temple was housed, was destroyed. (607 BCE by the Babylonians)

God forgives his wayward people, and allows for restoration.

Ezekiel, who lived during the time of the restoration was given the blueprint next, but what Ezekiel was given was for something greater. It was not for his time.

Note: It was Zerubbabel who rebuilt the temple in Jerusalem, 36 years after Ezekiel’s vision; and it was Nehemiah who rebuilt the wall, 130 years after Ezekiel’s vision of the restored temple.

So what Ezekiel was given, the divine blueprint that he was given, is that what was followed by Zerubbabel?

What Ezekiel saw was actually something greater. Ezekiel, Daniel, and John saw something greater, and they described what they saw as best they could.

The temple that man rebuilt was nothing like the original temple that Solomon built, and it, too, was destroyed in 70 c.e. by the Romans, but not before King Jesus, the Prince of Peace, pointed us to the true temple (house) of God – the one NOT made by the hands of man.

King Jesus said His body was the temple. John 2:19-21.

We are taught in 1 Corinthians 3:9-17 that we (our bodies) is the temple of God, and we are told to present our bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God. Romans 12:1-2.

God said, regarding the new covenant, that He would put His law in our minds, and write His law on our hearts. Jeremiah 31:31-34.

Our bodies is the vessel that is to contain Gods law. (A nod to Moses, and the ark he built which housed the law written on stone.)

We, as believers in Jesus Christ, through water baptism which symbolizes our dying to ourselves and living in and for Christ Jesus (aka what it means to be a Christian) come under the covering of King Jesus, our Ark. (A nod to David who wanted to build a permanent house or covering for the ark.)

Thus, what I am seeing is this:

1. The Ark Moses built in which he placed the law of God written on stone was symbollic of those of us upon whom God’s law is now written on and in our hearts.

2. The house David’s son, Solomon, the man of peace, built was symbollic of the protective covering (house) of King Jesus over those of us whom have the law of God written upon our hearts.

Wow!!!🤯

We like to call the brick and mortar that man builds church. Many claim to understand that we are the church, BUT, do they really understand this?

What they miss in understanding, when they call the brick and mortar building church, is that while they enter into a covering made by man, that they recognize as being “church,” they fall short of entering the Ark (a nod to Noah) of the Covenant of Peace. They fail to enter into God’s rest. (See Hebrews 3-4.)

ENTERING the Ark is  coming under the protective covering of King Jesus which is only done through obedience to God’s Word. Matthew 7:21; Luke 7:46.

How can you be obedient to what you are not reading?

Oh, you’ve read God’s Word once. That’s good, but in this race, you must keep going in order to finish well. When you walk, do you step once and then stop. That is not walking. You must keep stepping. You must continue to place one foot in front of the other in order for your movements to be considered a walk.

We are told to walk in God’s statutes (written law) and keep His judgments, and perform them if we are to receive of the blessings. Leviticus 26:3. A lack of doing so will cause us to receive the curses. Leviticus 26:14-15.

King Jesus told us to abide with Him. John 15:4-11. To abide is to dwell, to live. This is not something we would visit once and think that we are covered. Its a lifestyle.

You visit a hotel once.
You live in a house, dwelling there continually. Living in a house of peace is a blessing.

This is the Covenant of Peace [Shalom: (wholeness, completeness, nothing lacking, nothing broken, serenity, nothing missing, health, healing, prosperity, no hostilities, tranquility and much more)]. If we are to dwell there, if we are to come under that covering (aka Ark), then we must be obedient to God who freely offers this covering to us, and who made it available for us through King Jesus.

We visited it when we chose to get baptized.

Wow! That is why King Jesus said the those born again can see the Kingdom of Heaven. John 3:3

But it is only through our obedience (“being born of water and spirit”) that we can enter in and stay – dwell, abide, remain. John 3:5

Im understanding more of what Im being allowed to see, and I am so grateful to the Holy Spirit for allowing me this privilege to see

The Ark, The Umbrella, The Covering

that will protect us from the impending rain.

🤯

Ive got so much to process.

I really hope that you enjoyed this. I look forward to your comments.
