Conquering the Kings

[Karen Dublin]

While sitting here listening to the news about Osama Bin Laden and reading the comments on the internet, the Holy Spirit brought back to mind a message He gave me years ago about the 5 kings in Joshua 10.  I would like to share this in hopes that it brings greater revelation to you concerning where we are prophetically. The first king was Adoni-Zedek which means the Lord our righteousness or justice of the Lord. Adoni-Zedek was the king of Jerusalem and we know the word Jerusalem is the possession of peace.  In this hour the first king that has come down is the one that has disturbed the peace. 

The second king was Hoham, the king of Hebron.  The name Hoham means Jehovah impels.  The word impels means to drive forward or on as if by exertion of strong moral pressure. The word Hebron means a community, or alliance.  One thing we should remember is although the kings died, they still had followers that had to be dealt with.  It Is not time to back up concerning the enemy but now time to move forward until all of your enemies are defeated. 

The next king was Piram, king of Jarmuth.  Piram means  indomitable, strong, unconquerable.  The word indomitable means something that can’t be subdued.  The word Jarmuth means height.  The things that were hard to conquer in the high places are coming down.  The things that looked like it had power over you, you now will have power over it. 

The next king was Japhia, king of Lachish.  The word Japhia means may he cause to shine forth.  The word Lachish means impregnable. The word impregnable means something that can’t be broke through, a wall or fortress that won’t come down.  We are going to see the breaker go up before us and cause His light to shine forth in the dark places, the places where it looked like breakthrough was impossible. 

The last king was Debir which means oracle.  Oracle is used to describe the Holy of Holies or sanctuary in the temple. Debir was the king of Eglon. Eglon means heiferlike.  The word heiferlike means untrained to the yoke.  The heifer was used to make atonement for an unsolved murder.  The things that brought the bloodshed of the innocent to your land is going to be atoned for!
