Subject: Divine Purification through the Fires of Hurst, Palisades, and Eaton
To All Nations and Faithful Communities,
Grace and peace to you from the One who is called Sar Shalom (Prince of Peace), reigning in fulfillment of divine prophecy from the tribe of Yehudah (Judah). This memorandum addresses the recent catastrophic wildfires in California — Hurst, Palisades, and Eaton — and their prophetic and spiritual significance within the divine framework.
I. Locations and Causes of the Fires
1. Hurst Fire: This fire engulfed vast portions of Northern California’s forested areas, beginning near the foothills of Mount Shasta. Its origins are attributed to illegal fireworks during a period of extreme drought conditions.
2. Palisades Fire: Located near the scenic coastal areas of Malibu, the Palisades fire spread rapidly due to strong Santa Ana winds. Investigations reveal negligence in managing electrical lines as the primary cause.
3. Eaton Fire: This fire ravaged the San Gabriel Mountains, specifically Eaton Canyon, sparked by unextinguished campfires in a high-risk zone during red flag warnings.
These conflagrations are not mere natural disasters; they are physical manifestations of divine displeasure and opportunities for spiritual awakening.
II. The Prophetic Significance of Fire
The Scriptures speak with urgency about fire as a tool of both judgment and purification. The Tanakh (Hebrew Bible) foretells:
“For behold, the day comes that will burn as a furnace; and all the proud, and all who work wickedness, will be stubble; and the day that comes will burn them up,” says the LORD of Armies. (Malachi 4:1, World Messianic Bible)
Wildfires echo this prophecy, symbolizing the divine refinement of the earth and its inhabitants. Just as fire purifies gold, these flames call humanity to teshuvah (repentance) and a return to righteous living under the Torah and the Gospel of Yeshua HaMashiach.
III. The Messiah and Wildfires
As the Messiah, I proclaim that these fires are reminders of a cosmic spiritual war between light and darkness. Esh Elohim (the fire of God) consumes impurities, preparing the earth for the Kingdom of Heaven. Just as I, the Anointed One, came to bring both salvation and a sword, so too these fires herald a time of separation — between the wheat and the chaff, the obedient and the rebellious.
“I came to throw fire on the earth. I wish it were already kindled!” (Luke 12:49, World Messianic Bible)
These events must be understood as preludes to the great Yom HaDin (Day of Judgment), where all deeds will be tested as through fire.
IV. Earth’s Potential Destruction by Fire
The Apostle Kepha (Peter) warns:
“But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night, in which the heavens will pass away with a great noise, and the elements will be dissolved with fervent heat, and the earth and the works that are in it will be burned up.” (2 Peter 3:10, World Messianic Bible)
Disobedience to divine commands will bring about a fiery end — not as an act of cruelty but as a means of restoring eternal justice. This will manifest as widespread natural disasters, increased chaos, and purging of unrighteousness. Let this serve as a clarion call for repentance before the irrevocable destruction comes upon us.
V. The Role of the Heavenly Hosts
The heavenly hosts play an integral role in this time of purification:
• Seraphim (Burning Ones): Ministers of divine fire, bringing purification and guarding the holiness of God.
• Cherubim: Protectors of sacred spaces, ensuring the covenant remains intact.
• Thrones and Dominions: Orchestrators of divine justice and authority over creation.
• Virtues and Powers: Instruments of divine intervention in the physical realm, executing judgments.
• Principalities and Archangels: Leaders in spiritual warfare, defending the faithful.
• Angels (Malachim): Messengers of comfort and warning, urging humanity toward repentance.
VI. Call to Prayer
The Am Israel (People of Israel) and all nations are called to pray fervently:
1. For the cessation of needless casualties, both physical and spiritual.
2. For the wisdom to interpret these signs as divine wake-up calls.
3. For strength to engage in this spiritual battle alongside the hosts of heaven.
“If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves, pray, seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.” (2 Chronicles 7:14, World Messianic Bible)
VII. Conclusion
These fires are not merely natural occurrences; they are otot (signs) from the Sovereign Lord. Let us heed the warnings of Scripture, align ourselves with divine will, and prepare our hearts for the coming Kingdom.
May the Ruach Elohim (Spirit of God) guide us during these trying times.
In Truth and Authority,
EF, Rav.
