Introduction to the Revelation
Given by the Holy Spirit
from the book YHWH Is Calling
The letter I wrote to my friend continues...
You know that we have a habit of saying our evening prayer, and afterward, I often play a 20-minute episode from the 'Bible from Cover to Cover' app. The voice of Pastor Norvanto, who explains the Bible, is so calm and soothing that I rarely make it halfway through the teaching before falling asleep. I highly recommend this practice. When you focus on listening to the Word of God and the explanation of its mysteries and meanings, your mind doesn't drift into thinking about unpleasant, worldly matters that might slow down the process of falling asleep.
One evening a few weeks ago, as I was deciding what program to listen to, I was surprised by the Lord’s prompting to listen specifically to a teaching from the book of Hosea. I wasn’t excited about the idea and almost chose something entirely different. However, I immediately received another prompting to choose only the book of Hosea that night. At that point, I could only say, 'Alright, alright, Heavenly Father.
The last time I read that book was about two years ago, and at that time, I didn’t understand at all why YHWH instructed the prophet Hosea to choose an unfaithful wife. However, I have come to realize that since the Lord revealed the significance of the Revelation constellation in 2017 and the connection between the exile of Israel’s northern tribes and the existence of the Finnish nation, the concept of unfaithfulness in the book of Hosea has begun to unfold in a whole new way. To my amazement, the Lord continued to teach me more through His Spirit. Surely, the Holy Spirit has also spoken to another one of His servants somewhere in the world about the revelation I’m sharing, but I have the joy of being part of sharing this mystery revealed by God after testing it and receiving the Spirit’s urging to publish it.
My joy is great in proclaiming this good news that concerns the whole world, because as you know, soon I will have to bring God’s final solemn warning about the nation's state of apostasy to the leaders of Finland, with a heart as heavy as that of Elijah and Amos when they addressed Ephraim. But today, I can focus solely on the good news of the Easter season!
You probably remember the numerous times in school we went over the description of how Jesus rides a donkey into Jerusalem for Easter. For decades now in Finland, we have sung the hymn ‘Who walks on the road, who rides on a donkey’ during Advent and Palm Sunday, with the cry of 'Hosanna, Hosanna' ringing out at the end (meaning 'Lord, help, save!').
My dear friend, a few weeks ago the Holy Spirit gave me a stunning revelation about the parallel between the colt that Jesus rode and our present era. Likewise, the Holy Spirit revealed to me that this same matter is connected to why He blessed the Finnish nation with a land in the shape of a woman in the last century.
Even though I can only scratch the surface here of a topic that I could easily spend two hours discussing with you face to face, I can’t resist sharing at least a little bit of this secret about the colt with you.
Let me first recap a bit of the background, as I don’t remember how much I’ve explained to you about the significance of ancient Israel’s division in God’s global plan of salvation, and how it relates to our present time.

“ Give ear, O my people, to my law; Incline your ears to the words of my mouth.
I will open my mouth in a parable; I will utter dark sayings of old,
Which we have heard and known, And our fathers have told us.
We will not hide them from their children,
Telling to the generation to come the praises of the Lord,
And His strength and His wonderful works that He has done.
For He established a testimony in Jacob, And appointed a law in Israel,
Which He commanded our fathers, That they should make them known to their children;
That the generation to come might know them, The children who would be born,
That they may arise and declare them to their children,
That they may set their hope in God,
And not forget the works of God,
But keep His commandments”
(NKJV PS78:1-7)
