Of Ai
By
Holy Caleb De Warrior
Date: Seventhday, 17th September 2022
Event: Sabbath prayer and worship
Right Pronunciation
The name,
Ai, is pronounced as I, and not as A I.
The Necessity Of
Intelligence Work
Holy Caleb: The first thing is this: what is a spy?
Chukwudi: A spy is somebody who shall go to find out the
true realities. He goes to survey a city or place, so that the method of
operation can be determined.
Holy Caleb: Is it always?
Chukwudi: Yes, whenever they have to carry out
operations.
Number 1,
spying did not start here with Ai.
Number 2,
it is not everybody that is made a spy.
Number 3,
sending spy to a place is good, depending on how the person shall go and what
was heard about the city or place.
But son of
man, if God says that we should go to spy a place, we go. And if God said that
we should go and spy, we cannot do so by our own power or ability.
The reason
why we do send the spy is because we do not completely know all about a city.
The spy will go, and by so doing, know various things. They shall find out how
the people live and their characters. They shall also find out whether the
people or enemies are ready and prepared for war. That is number 1.
Number 2,
the reason why a spy is sent out, is because the spy will be the first person
to enter the city. If ourselves go there as group or many people, the people
being spied will know. But if a spy goes alone, the people being spied will not
know, because the people will not notice his presence. The spy will come back
and tell us all that are happening in the city or place.
Incomplete Record
The bible
record not complete and accurate.
Why God Was Against The
City Of Ai
What caused
the anger and wrath of God?
Why were
some of the Israelites killed in the first battle?
Why did God
send the Israelites against Ai?
Why The Israelites
Were Defeated In The First Battle
The cause
of the anger and wrath of God was not only what Achan did. The Israelites
became over greedy. Some of them started to go out of line – to disobey the
word of God, doing as they liked.
Son of man,
how did the Israelites go out of line?
On many
occasions, they were performing many things in disobedience.
Son of man,
how?
They were
doing things that were out of line.
One, they
were not respecting God as they should.
Two, all
the laws and rites of holiness which God commanded them to keep, they kept
none. But they were doing such bad things in secret, in secret, in secret,
because they thought in their hearts that Holy Joshua De Conqueror will not see
them.
But does
that mean that God was not seeing them?
God was
seeing them.
Three, son
of man, all the stolen gold and things in Ai, where did the gold come from?
The gold
was from Jericho.
Son of man,
if you take what is used in worshipping other god and put it in midst of God,
put it among the people of God, is it possible?
It is
possible but it is not good, and should not be done.
All the
various things which Achan took and put in his bag, was it good?
Chukwudi: No.
Four, it
was not only himself. Other Israelites also took what were devoted to God.
My question
is this: if you were God, what would do?
It is not
allowed and God would not be pleased.
That was
why Achan was removed from the midst of the Israelites, killed.
Jericho And Ai
The cities
of Jericho and Ai were neighbouring cities. But
distance was very long, from Jericho to Ai. The people of Jericho were brethren
to the people of Ai. And the people of Ai were from the genealogy, descendants
of Jericho. The two sets of people were one people, but they were located in
separate ciites.
You hear
about the twelve tribes from Israel?
All of the
twelve tribes are one. Even so were the people of Jericho and Ai.
Widespread Fears
When God
used Holy Joshua De Conqueror to pull down the city of Jericho, the people of
Ai heard about it. The Canaanites heard it. And all the cities surrounding
Jericho heard it. Many of these people started to fear the Israelites. Many of
them were gripped by fear, because of Holy Joshua De Conqueror.
The Causes Of The War
Between Israel And Ai
What
brought about the war between the Israelites and Ai?
Did the war
just started?
What
brought about it?
Holy Joshua
De Conqueror did not just ask Israelites to spy Ai.
What was
the cause?
How did the
war started?
You have to
ask questions, because we, the Hosts of Angels and Saints of Heaven, want the
children of God to be asking questions.
What caused
the war?
Number 1,
the peoples of various nations were hearing about the Israelites. They did not
want the Israelites to spread, to grow in population or develop as a nation.
They wanted
to use underground manipulations to uproot, remove, the Israelites.
Number 2,
they were overwhelmed by fear. Then, we were small in population, and despite
our small size, God was using us, the Israelites, to perform great and awesome
victories, signs and wonders. That means that if ourselves grow in population
and spread to all the ends of the earth, no other nation can plunge their
finger into our eyes – none can challenge, confront or oppose the Israelites.
Number 3,
various kings from the diverse nations around Jericho held meeting, and planned
among themselves, on how to pull down the Israelites. And the people of Ai sent
message to Holy Joshua De Conqueror, asking for peace between Joshua,
Israelites and the people of Ai. Before they sent the message, themselves were ready and prepared for war, because they
knew that Holy Joshua De Conqueror would not agree to their request.
Necessary Considerations
Son of man,
what type of peace did they want?
Number 1,
if somebody come to you and ask you to do something for him, will you not take
time to think about that?
You have to
consider, what are the characters of the person making the request?
Is the
request his true intention?
Number 2,
the people of Jericho and Ai were the same, because they were worshipping
idols.
Number 3,
they were coming to join the Israelites to form one nation.
Number 4,
Holy Joshua De Conqueror thought as follows: the people of Ai heard how we
pulled down Jericho.
Do you
think that they were happy and pleased with the Israelites?
Do you
think that they were happy that we pulled done their brethren?
Number 5,
ourselves were worshipping God, but themselves were worshipping idol.
What is the
association between light and darkness?
None.
Number 6,
they have heard about the Israelites, when we came out of the land of Egypt,
and heard the various victories, signs and wonders, which God used the
Israelites to perform, through Holy Joshua De Conqueror.
Number 7,
they wanted the power and authority of the Israelites to cease.
Number 8,
if they made peace with ourselves, in some years time,
in the future, they shall conquer the Israelites and ourselves shall be subject
to them – the Israelites shall be under their control, manipulations and
leadership. And themselves shall be people ruling over
the Israelites.
Number 9,
what they were doing was just pretense before the Israelites and Holy Joshua De
Conqueror. By the time Holy Joshua De Conqueror and his contemporary Israelites
are no longer alive here on earth, our children and children's children shall
become slaves to the people of Ai.
Number 10,
this idea of making peace was what they discussed and planned in a meeting of
all the kings of the cities, neighbouring Jericho.
And so, they started with Ai to meet Holy Joshua De Conqueror to ask for peace.
The above
points were the reasons why when they brought the request for peace making.
Therefore, Holy Joshua De Conqueror sent out spies to the city of Ai, to verify
whether what the people of Ai were saying was true or not.
Spies Sent Out
Now Joshua sent men from Jericho to Ai, which
is beside Beth Aven, on the east side of Bethel, and
spoke to them, saying, "Go up and spy out the country." So the men
went up and spied out Ai. And they returned to Joshua and said to him, "Do
not let all the people go up, but let about two or three thousand men go up and
attack Ai. Do not weary all the people there, for the people of Ai are
few." Joshua 7:2,3
Shocking Discoveries
The spies
went as they were directed by Holy Joshua De Conqueror. But the spies have not
yet got to Ai, when they saw soldiers in various formations and in different
locations, with weapons to fight against the Israelites. Their request for
peace making was not their true intentions. They had wicked plans against the
Israelites.
Why was the
Israelites the first to attack the city of Ai?
We had to
attack first, because they were not telling us the truth, and they were ready
and prepared to attack the Israelites.
When the
spies came to Holy Joshua De Conqueror, their mouths were full of words. They
had many things to say about the people of Ai and their wicked plans against
the people of Israel. The people of Ai were working underground against the
Israelites. They had a hidden agenda to pull down the people of Israel, as
planned by various nations around Jericho.
Israel Was A
Disobedient Nation
But the
Israelites, whom God wanted to save were not watchful. Many of them wanted to
turn their back on God. And they were behaving in various bad ways, which
ourselves, the Hosts of Angels and Saints of Heaven, are still seeing in the
midst of the Biafrans today. Your enemies are killing you Biafrans, even in
those places that you have victory. That is why God is keeping quiet regarding
you Biafrans and Biafra independence, just as He was silent unto the Israelites
then.
Son of man,
it was when the Israelites started moving backwards from God, that was when
fear overtook the Israelites. A person, who comes close to God, who stays in
the presence of God, there is no iota of fear in that person. The eyes of God
are on him - His protection is always perfect for the person - who comes to the
presence of God, and keeps the laws and rites of holiness of God.
But as far
as the person is moving away from the laws of God, by not keeping His laws, the
eyes of God also move away from the person. The person loses the strong and
perfect protection of God. That is the time you shall see brave and mighty men
of valour speaking like babies who do not know how to
speak.
But
yourself wills see a young man, who stays close to God Almighty, how such a
person speaks like a strong and mighty man.
Is it true?
Chukwudi: Yes, my Lord. It is true.
The
weakness of the Israelites showed that they were backsliding, disobeying God
and committing sins against Yahweh, the Lord of the Hosts. That was when the
anger and wrath of God fell upon the Israelites. The bible authors wrote that
the anger and wrath of God were upon the Israelites.
Chukwudi: Yes.
Signs Of Anger And
Wrath Of God
How?
To the
extent that the Israelites knew?
Number 1,
the thirty-six (36) men that were killed were a sign to the Israelites that the
anger and wrath of God was upon them, before God struck them the last time.
Do you not
know that before God would pour His anger and wrath of God upon the Israelites,
He would first give them a sign?
For the
Israelites to understand and repent.
Number 1,
there was death, and that was shameful death.
Number 2,
the crops planted in the farms were not yielding very well.
Number 3,
all the offerings and sacrifices, brought before God, God was not accepting but
rejecting the sacrifices. These were signs.
Number 4,
the Israelites were encountering various great sufferings, and there was
confusion. The Israelites did not know what was happening to them. They did not
know that many Israelites were already out of line – no longer keeping the laws
and rites of holiness of God.
Number 5,
whenever the Israelites brought gifts and offerings to God, the Holy Spirit
rejected it. But the Israelites were not asking themselves questions.
What have
we done wrong?
They thought
that what was happening to them were just the way God wanted it. God was giving
them signs, perfect signs, for the Israelites to know that they were moving out
of line. That was why God used the people of Ai to remove those Israelites who
were provoking His anger and wrath, from the midst of the Israelites. They died
from the ambush by the people of Ai.
Disobedient Elders And
Their Families
Son of man,
who were the elders of Israel?
Was it
because of the Joshua or the elders that God spoke?
Many of the
elders were out of line – disobedient to God.
How?
In their
various families, in which the elders were the heads, we had to find out
whether they were doing things pleasing to God or provoking to God.
Son of man,
they were provoking the anger and wrath of God. It was only by the mercy of God
that they understood. God had anointed them as elders. But the reason why God
answered the prayers of the Israelites was because of Holy Joshua De Conqueror,
who was a saint. He was observing the rites of holiness and keeping all the
laws of God from time to time, just as Holy Moses told him.
But the children of Israel committed a trespass
regarding the accursed things, for Achan the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, of the
tribe of Judah, took of the accursed things. And many others disobeyed God in
various ways. Therefore, the anger of the Lord burned against the children of
Israel. Joshua 7:1
Revelations And
Confirmations By Angels
Son of man,
the Angels came and told Holy Joshua De Conqueror that the request for peace
was not true. And the Angels presented messages and teachings in sequence to
Holy Joshua De Conqueror, and he knew.
And God
told Holy Joshua De Conqueror to remove all the people who were breaking the
laws and rites of holiness of God, from the midst of the Israelites.
