The Son of Man Playing A Flute and Singing A Dirge
The End-Time Prophecy To The Children On The Playground
Anyone who studies the scripture would be familiar with the following statement and its meaning… The passages listed below are just the tip of the iceberg of biblical references to the subject of right seeing and hearing, which denote the lack of understanding of the vast number of Believers today.
Eyes to see and ears to hear….
“Yet YoHeWaH has not given you a heart to perceive and eyes to see and ears to hear, to this very day.” Deuteronomy 29:4
And
“Make the heart of this people dull, and their ears heavy, and shut their eyes.” Isaiah 6:10
And
“Son of man, you dwell in the midst of a rebellious house, which has eyes to see but does not see, and ears to hear but does not hear.” Ezekiel 12:2
And
“The hearing ear and the seeing eye, YoHeWaH has made them both.” Proverbs20:12
And
“Hear this now, O foolish people, without understanding, who have eyes and see not, and who have ears and hear not.” Jeremiah 5:21
And
“The eyes of those who see will not be dim, and the ears of those who hear will listen.” Isaiah 32:3
And
“He who planted the ear, shall He not hear? He who formed the eye, shall He not see?” Pslams 94:9
And
“In that day the deaf shall hear the words of the book.” Isaiah 29:18
And
“But they refused to heed, shrugged their shoulders, and stopped their ears so that they could not hear.” Zechariah 7:11
And
“Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, and the ears of the deaf shall be unstopped.” Isaiah 35:5
And
“But blessed are your eyes because they see, and your ears because they hear.” Matthew 13:16
And
“They are blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind leads the blind, both will fall into a ditch.” Matthew 15:14
And
“Having eyes, do you not see? And having ears, do you not hear? And do you not remember?” Mark 8:18
And
“He who has ears to hear, let him hear!” Matthew 11:15
And
“For the hearts of this people have grown dull. Their ears are hard of hearing, and their eyes they have closed.” Acts 28:27
And
“The Almighty has given them a spirit of stupor, eyes that they should not see and ears that they should not hear, to this very day.” Romans 11:8
And
“He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.” Revelation 2:7
The concept of building our faith, strong, is rooted in the precepts of having our ears and eyes open. Notice the role of the Eldership in this matter.
“How then will they call on him in whom they have not believed? And how are they to believe in him of whom they have never heard? And how are they to hear without someone preaching? And how are they to preach unless they are sent? As it is written, “How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the good news!” But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Isaiah says, “Master, who has believed what he has heard from us?” So faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ.” Romans 10:14–17
… And if I may, one more passage to make the point that The Almighty is revealing great mysteries at this end time:
“The secret things belong to YoHeWaH your Mighty One, but the things that are revealed belong to us and to our children forever, that we may do all the words of this law.” Deuteronomy 29:29
Revealed to my wife and me this morning in our morning coffee time together, as we always do, discussing not only scripture but also the current events that pertain to scripture, was a revelation worthy of an article concerning where we are in Biblical Prophecy.
In a much-maligned statement made in the Oval Office by Donald J. Trump comes an esoteric tie to the words of Our Savior recorded by the tax collector in the first century CE. First, let’s listen to the words that immediately caught my ear, bringing the text recorded by Matthew to mind.
Now, Yeshua’s prophetic words have come to life. Notice the reference to John and Elijah, which bookends the words of Yeshua concerning the children of this generation. The regeneration of John and Elijah are the bread to the meat of the sandwich.
“Truly, I say to you, among those born of women there has arisen no one greater than John the Baptist. Yet the one who is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he. From the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven has suffered violence, and the violent take it by force. For all the Prophets and the Law prophesied until John, and if you are willing to accept it, he is Elijah who is to come. He who has ears to hear, let him hear.
“But to what shall I compare this generation? It is like children sitting in the marketplaces and calling to their playmates,
“‘We played the flute for you, and you did not dance;
we sang a dirge, and you did not mourn.’For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, ‘He has a demon.’ The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, ‘Look at him! A glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!’ Yet wisdom is justified by her deeds.” Matthew 11:11–19
Now, for those who are unfamiliar with the significance of Donald Trump in scripture, please note that Yeshua did not inadvertently insert these words concerning the fighting children unable to hear the lamentation of their action, between the bookends of His apt description of the regeneration of John the Baptist. In other words, the direct reference to John and Elijah (who are the same soul) provides us with the time setting for this event.
“For behold, the day is coming, burning like an oven, when all the arrogant and all evildoers will be stubble. The day that is coming shall set them ablaze, says YoHeWaH of hosts, so that it will leave them neither root nor branch. But for you who fear my name, the sun of righteousness shall rise with healing in its wings. You shall go out leaping like calves from the stall. And you shall tread down the wicked, for they will be ashes under the soles of your feet, on the day when I act, says YoHeWaH of hosts.
“Remember the law of my servant Moses, the statutes and rules that I commanded him at Horeb for all Israel.
“Behold, I WILL SEND YOU ELIJAH the prophet before the great and awesome day of YoHeWaH comes. And he will turn the hearts of fathers to their children and the hearts of children to their fathers, lest I come and strike the land with a decree of utter destruction.” Malachi 4:1–6
Before Donald Trump was elected the second time, in 2024, He emphatically bragged how he would end the war in Ukraine in 24 hours even before his inauguration in January 2025. Six months have passed. Trump has secretly admitted he is a defeated man concerning his efforts to bring an upbeat resolution or a stern warning of catastrophe to the two children on the playground.
An upbeat resolution… Let’s make an economic agreement that benefits all three parties as Trump plays the flute for the dance.
A stern warning of catastrophe… You guys may have to fight it out until you can see the error of your ways, as Trump sings a dirge to show mourning.
Now, make no mistake. The children calling to their playmates are the ones sitting in the marketplace, not just Trump. This little piece of detail lends us the context of what’s actually going on here. The war in Ukraine, and more specifically, the success of Russia in the Special Military Operation, is getting in the way of the timetable of the Deep State’s next move. The Neo-Cons are using Trump’s compassion and desire for peace to further their curriculum of events leading up to their goal of Agenda 2030 — The Sustainable Development of The New World Order.
Let’s compare a second witness to Yeshua’s words, comparing them side by side to see if we can glean anything further. First, allow Matthew’s words to repeat:
“For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, ‘He has a demon.’ The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, ‘Look at him! A glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!’ Yet wisdom is justified by her DEEDS.” Matthew 11:18–19
Now, consider how Luke reported Our Savior’s words:
“For John the Baptist has come eating NO BREAD and drinking NO WINE, and you say, ‘He has a demon.’ The Son of Man has come eating and drinking, and you say, ‘Look at him! A glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!’ Yet wisdom is justified by ALL her CHILDREN.” Luke 7:33–35
The Book of Luke presents an interesting timeline, one that differs from the other three gospels. Take, for instance, the Olivet Prophecy found in Matthew 24 and Mark 13. Luke records this event in two different chapters, dividing the information between chapters 17 and 21. This little piece of information becomes important when we consider a theme found in Luke’s account.
With the words closing Luke 7:35, “Yet wisdom is justified by ALL her CHILDREN.”, we can see the introduction of an entity called The Woman in scripture, which eventually culminates in The Woman of Revelation 12:1. In other words, beginning at this moment in time, recorded by Luke, the actions and deeds of a brand new thing in Israel would be the goal of one aspect of the gospel of Christ. Notice how the prophet Jeremiah predicts this moment in prophetic history.
“Set up road markers for yourself; make yourself guideposts; consider well the highway, the road by which you went. Return, O virgin Israel, return to these your cities. How long will you waver, O faithless daughter? For YoHeWaH has created a new thing on the earth: a woman encircles a man.” Jeremiah 31:21–22
It is a fascinating study concerning the development of this woman, who is actually an adulteress. Whenever we read about the Trump figure in scripture, whether in the Old or New Testament, which occurs far more often than you might think, we always see the woman of Revelation 12 following closely behind or even ahead.
Here in Luke, combined with this story, which conveys the roles that John and Elijah play alongside the Son of Man (Trump), we see the introduction of Wisdom, who is the Woman of Revelation 12:1. If you are confused at Trump being the Son of Man, know that Yeshua was a type pointing to the King figure that would come in the last days. These two members of the YoHeWaH family entered into the flesh lawfully to fulfill and qualify lawfully in the roles of Priest and King. Two seats that have to be won before men of the House of Israel can sit on those two thrones, as described by Zechariah 6:9–15.
Getting back to where we are in prophecy, today… When we see the beginning of this process fulfilled by the events of the war in Ukraine, as a revealed sign, we can know the work of the Woman of Revelation 12:1 is now complete. The one playing the flute and singing a dirge is equally ready to begin his perfecting process of learning from the one who is prophesied to encircle him, as Jeremiah states.
