5 Cities Project

Isaiah55:8
כִּ֣י לֹ֤א מַחְשְׁבֹותַי֙ מַחְשְׁבֹ֣ותֵיכֶ֔ם וְלֹ֥א דַרְכֵיכֶ֖ם דְּרָכָ֑י נְאֻ֖ם יְהוָֽה׃

Isaiah 19:18

18 ¶ In that day shall five cities in the land of Egypt speak the language of Canaan, and swear to the Lord of hosts; one shall be called, The city of destruction.

In the spirit of Isaiah 19:18 …..a group of like minded individuals (swear to the ) preparing for the Second Coming of Jesus Christ. This is the focus of this group, not the study of Hebrew. Secondary is the understanding that we know very little of the plans and ways of God (Isaiah 55:8) Much of the Gospel is lost in translation thus getting back to what God intended should be very valuable but not the primary focus. A call to rally the five wise virgins prior to the wedding feast… (the wise virgins are those who “have received the truth, and have taken the Holy Spirit for their guide, and have not been deceived”)

If you feel the need to become part of a group, of like minded individuals, to navigate the events leading up to the Second Coming of Jesus Christ, then this may be a group that can benefit you. This web site will be a holding place for general ideas and direction of the group while the main discussion will be conducted on the yahoogroup 5CP. ( see link above for subscription to the group)

Basic rules for group discussions… The Golden Rule.

This is not a theology debating group.

Like Mindedness (at a High Level):

1. Jesus is the Christ

2. Premillennialist

3. Prewrath end time view (Not that pretribulation people are not welcome. …Why would you join if there are no events to navigate?)

Principle level:

Seek to always be guided by the Spirit of God

Avoid Mark of the beast Revelation 13:16

Qualify to be Marked as members of “The Church of the Firstborn”, the saints who have the mark in their forehead Revelation 7:3; 9:4; 14:1; 22:4

I am looking for a gathering of individuals that will be preparing for the second coming. Thus the reference to Isaiah and the five cities ( a unique grouping) … (notice that study of Hebrew is not listed as something common among this group, but may be a good idea.)

“..to escape all these things that shall come to pass..” Luke 21:36,

The city of destruction ….And there shall be gathered unto it out of every nation under heaven;

and it shall be the only people that shall not be at war one with another.

And it shall be said among the wicked: Let us not go up to battle against Zion,

for the inhabitants of Zion are terrible; wherefore we cannot stand.

Isa 19:18 ; Zephaniah 3:8-9

Zephaniah’s end day, day of wrath, outstretched arm, cleansing, vision covers this important effort of preparation prior to the second coming. His focus is on the gathering of remnant, covenant people ( the second exodus spoken of by Joel Richardson). So is the group (5 cities) in Isaiah 19:18 used to complete the work or a result of that work? Is this limited to a small event in Egypt? Does this apply on a larger scale? Looking at Zephaniah I see this as a major wrath theme. In the spirit of Isaiah 19:18 I think it would be good to fully understand what the 5 cities represent. Are these covenant peoples or a group that actually speak (or at least study the original text) the language of Canaan? With this project on my mind I was reading Isaiah 28. Vs 9 stood out to me with the thought that maybe it is referring to this way of studying (using Hebrew to enhance your understanding or reading in the original Hebrew) rather than the level, and or depth, of study as I have always thought up to this time.

Will there be five specific locations or does the number five have a significant meaning? (Could Egypt be symbolic for the World at large/Babylon? Zeph 3:8-20...From beyond the rivers of Ethiopia my suppliants, even the daughter of my dispersed, shall bring mine offering...At that time will I bring you again, even in the time that I gather you: for I will make you a name and a praise among all people of the earth, when I turn back your captivity before your eyes, saith the Lord...) What can be applied from the Five cities of the plains? Good vs Evil? ) Also one city will have a reputation of being great/terrible “The city of destruction”. Zephaniah connects to the Day of the Lord. It is instructive that vs 8 contains all the letters of the Aleph Bet (the only place in the old testament that does that) Aleph – Tav Alpha and Omega. 9: “…I turn to the people a pure ^alanguage, that they may all call upon the name of the Lord, to serve him…”

Disclaimer: I know that any works of man will fall short when it comes to this effort and that God is in charge. This is His work and most of what is done is by His hand. “…that people will know that…. I am GOD…” My hope is that we may be found worthy and ready to play a role in the work

How do we prepare for the gathering in? Can preparations we do now help to facilitate the gathering in, in the near future?

Without a working crystal ball (that would identify the location of cities of refuge, if they even exist at this time or if being there now would be of any use) What productive actions can and should be taken to prepare for that time?

Some would say you need to join a specific Church or group to qualify…(Time will tell. That I would consider a theology debate..)

Phase one: find like minded individuals. Invite them to this group to build up communities.

Ideas: (during the Mark of the beast system, People will need to be out of debt!!!)

1. Develop and strengthen local communities to build core groups.

a. Yahoo groups one method to accomplish this

b. Ham radio groups

2. Identify and build up regional gathering spots (Not to be openly shared with the World at large but not secret..)

a. Should be away from major cities or future hot spots but within a days travel

b. Locations should be unknown or not shared with the general public

c. Have the basic ability to support short term gatherings. Shelter, water storage, sewer, Basic defense

3. Develop links with other groups

a. Some sites will become longer term safety zones for groups to roll up to as needed

b. Ham radio Via HF, Allstar, WiresX groups etc.
