A Prophet to The Nations
By Lawrence DeMetrius
And the teachers and those who are wise shall shine like the brightness of the firmament, and those who turn many to righteousness (to uprightness and right standing with God) [shall give forth light] like the stars forever and ever [Mt 5:14-16, 19; 11:29, 30 Phil 3:15, 16a]. But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words and seal the Book until the time of the end. [Then] many shall run to and fro and search anxiously [through the Book], and knowledge [of God's purposes as revealed by His prophets] shall be increased and become great [Rm 10:14-17]. And he [the angel] said, Go your way, Daniel, for the words are shut up and sealed till the time of the end. Many shall purify themselves and make themselves white and be tried, smelted, and refined [Rm 8:29; Heb 13:21 I Pet 4:12; 5:10 I Jn 5:18 Rev 3:18], but the wicked shall do wickedly [Mt 16:28 Jn 12:48]. And none of the wicked shall understand, but the teachers and those who are wise shall understand.
[Dan 12:3, 4, 9, 10; 11:33-35; Ps 25:14; 45:13; Mt 24:24]
{Amplified King James Version}
More clarity about my divine calling came after my Wilderness Experience. Since the age of 15, I knew I was called to deliver a message to the descendants of Africans who were victims of the most devastating chattel enslavement in human history. However, exactly what that message was, I had much to learn and understand. Without doubt the universal message of salvation for all nations through Jesus Christ remains the most significant Good News of all. In fact, it is why Yahweh’s covenantal relationship with Israel came to be. THE LORD chose Israel to be HIS priests to all nations. From birth their calling was and still is to be an example of nations whose GOD is I AM. Nevertheless, there is a message that specifically pertains to the true descendants of Abraham.
Moses writes,
And when the sun was going down, a deep sleep fell upon Abram; and lo, an horror of great darkness fell upon him.
And HE <Yahweh> said unto Abram, Know of a surety that thy seed shall be a stranger in a land that is not theirs, and shall serve them; and they shall afflict them four hundred years;
And also that nation, whom they shall serve, will I judge: and afterward shall they come out with great substance.
And thou shalt go to thy fathers in peace; thou shalt be buried in a good old age.
But in the fourth generation they shall come hither again: for the iniquity of the Amorites is not yet full.
[Gen 15:12-16]
Yahweh gave instruction to Prophet Ezekiel saying,
Lie thou also upon thy left side, and lay the iniquity of the house of Israel upon it: according to the number of the days that thou shalt lie upon it thou shalt bear their iniquity.
For I have laid upon thee the years of their iniquity, according to the number of the days, three hundred and ninety days: so shalt thou bear the iniquity of the house of Israel.
And when thou hast accomplished them, lie again on thy right side, and thou shalt bear the iniquity of the house of Judah forty days: I have appointed thee a day for a year.
[Eze 4:4-6]
Therefore say, Thus saith THE LORD GOD, Although I have cast them far off among the heathen, and although I have scattered them among the countries where they shall come.
Therefore say, Thus saith THE LORD GOD; I will even gather you from the people, and assemble you out of the countries where ye have been scattered, and I will give you the land of Israel.
And they shall come thither, and they shall take away all the detestable things thereof and all the abominations thereof from thence.
And I will give them one heart, and I will put a new spirit within you; and I will take the stony heart out of their flesh, and will give them an heart of flesh:
That they may walk in MY statutes, and keep MINE ordinances, and do them: and they shall be MY people, and I will be their God.
But as for them whose heart walketh after the heart of their detestable things and their abomination, I will recompense their way upon their own heads, saith THE LORD GOD.
[Eze 11:16-21]
Further analysis of Prophet Ezekiel’s prophetic service to and the fate of Abraham’s descendants, is further detailed in The Book of Ezekiel, which will be reviewed later in this writing. As for the timeframe revealed to Abram and Ezekiel per [Gen 15:12-16] and [Eze 4:4-6], 390 DAYS + 40 DAYS = 430 DAYS, which were given for YEARS to Prophet Ezekiel. This is 4 generations, based on the 120 YEAR lifetime allotted to mortals after the Great Flood. [Gen 6:3] Recognizing who the true Hebrew are in these end-times is critical because prophetic events concerning their experience indicates events that will impact all nations. Ironically, the majority of Hebrews today have no idea of their true identity and priestly calling. As it was before in ancient Babylonian enslavements, so does this ignorance prevail in these end-times because many leaders who know of their true heritage withhold such knowledge from them. [Hos 4:4-6] Blessedly, I am but one of many teachers who are divinely called to expound upon this historical insight. Our task is to bring awareness to this knowledge during our generations. The anointing of this prophetic office is corporate and rests upon divinely inspired teachers, who are strategically positioned throughout all countries where Abrahams’ descendants now reside as a result of chattel slavery. Not all prophetic messages are decreed when the prophet is before their appointed audience. Some prophets like Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel and Daniel obtain the message from Yahweh first then deliver it at an appointed time. THE LORD has advised me that as was Ezekiel, so am I an inspirational prophet. In so being, HE has equipped me with the ability to inspire people through song, speech and writing. These giftings are given to me to promote THE LORD’S WORD OF WISDOM, which is HIS WORD OF PROMISE, which becomes the WORD OF SALVATION to everyone who adheres to it with faith filled obedience. [Jn 12:45-50] Yahweh gifted me in these areas to help promote divine love, hope, peace and salvation for all nations. As seen throughout biblical history, THE LORD utilizes personal experiences and revelatory dreams and visions to help HIS Elect realize HIS purpose for their lives. Such pivotal moments are also used to empower them to fulfill their divine destinies. For me, one such revelation is the literal meaning of my name, DeMetrius. In ancient Hebrew culture, as in many eastern cultures, names revealed much about one’s purpose and destiny. In most cases, parents gave their children names that inspired healthy self-esteem and productive living. The name, DeMetrius is two Greek words. The first word is, spelled DE or DEH and is pronounced ‘DAY’. It indicates a primary particle of emphasis or explicitness. The second word is METRIUS spelled METRIUS or METRIOS. It means moderately, slightly, or a little.
METRIUS derives from the word METRON, which is a primary word, measure, limited portion or degree. It describes the declaration of those who are called and sent by Yahweh to speak a specific, clear, and precise word on HIS behalf. [Rm 10:9-15] When METRIUS is further examined, there is more meaning in its syllables. ME pronounced ‘MAY’ is a primary particle of qualified negation, meaning a clear and precise answer like ‘YES’ or ‘NO’. It also describes how Oracles of Yahweh are to speak on HIS behalf. [Mt 5:37; Jn 12:50] There is the word TRI also TRION. It indicates a primary and plural number, namely the number THREE, which per ancient Hebrew culture signifies COMPLETENESS. Just as Ezekiel was instructed to inform the Hebrews about their true identity and duty as a priestly nation, I and many others am inspired of THE LORD to share NOT impose our insight upon others. Only by Yahweh’s great love for all souls do we offer the insight HE imparts to us. It is purposed to stir up desire for righteousness and divine worship in those we have been commissioned to serve. Prophet Isaiah writes,
THE LORD GOD hath given me the tongue of the learned, that I should know how to speak a word in season to him that is weary: HE wakeneth morning by morning, HE wakeneth mine ear to hear as the learned.
[Isa 50:4]
Apostle Paul writes,
And how shall they preach, except they be sent?
[Rm 10:15a]
And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient,
In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth:
And that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken by him at his will.
[II Tim 2:23-26]
