This is the declaration of the Lord God. “I will no longer allow the insults of the nations to be heard against you, and you will not have to endure the reproach of the peoples anymore; you will no longer cause your nation to stumble.” This is the declaration of the Lord God.”

Ezekiel 36Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)
Restoration of Israel’s Mountains
36 “Son of man, prophesy to the mountains of Israel and say: Mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Lord. 2 This is what the Lord God says: Because the enemy has said about you, ‘Good! The ancient heights have become our possession,’ 3 therefore, prophesy and say: This is what the Lord God says: Because they have made you desolate and have trampled you from every side, so that you became a possession for the rest of the nations and an object of people’s gossip and slander, 4 therefore, mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Lord God. This is what the Lord God says to the mountains and hills, to the ravines and valleys, to the desolate ruins and abandoned cities, which have become plunder and a mockery to the rest of the nations all around.
5 “This is what the Lord God says: Certainly in My burning zeal I speak against the rest of the nations and all of Edom, who took[a] My land as their own possession with wholehearted rejoicing and utter contempt so that its pastureland became[b] plunder. 6 Therefore, prophesy concerning the land of Israel and say to the mountains and hills, to the ravines and valleys: This is what the Lord God says: Look, I speak in My burning zeal because you have endured the insults of the nations. 7 Therefore this is what the Lord God says: I swear[c] that the nations all around you will endure their own insults.
8 “You, mountains of Israel, will produce your branches and bear your fruit for My people Israel, since their arrival is near. 9 Look! I am on your side; I will turn toward you, and you will be tilled and sown. 10 I will fill you with people, with the whole house of Israel in its entirety. The cities will be inhabited and the ruins rebuilt. 11 I will fill you with people and animals, and they will increase and be fruitful. I will make you inhabited as you once were and make you better off than you were before. Then you will know that I am Yahweh.
Dear Friends, I would like to share the promise of God for this Year 2017:
God is going to make us experience good times in proportionate to the bad times we have experienced in the past.
The Promise is based on Psalm 90:15
Make us glad according to the days wherein thou hast afflicted us, and the years wherein we have seen evil.
Psalm 91 is written by the God's Chosen Prophetic Leader Moses. He offers as a prayer to the Lord. But God wanted to reveal His heart that He wanted to make us glad in accordance to the years of affliction, evil, and troubles.
How this can happen?
Key to the Promise: God's Mercy Psalm 90:14
O satisfy us early with thy mercy; that we may rejoice and be glad all our days
Lamentations 3: 22- 24 says
22 It is of the Lord's mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not.
23 They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness.
24 The Lord is my portion, saith my soul; therefore will I hope in him.
God is going to send Mercy Rain from His presence and drench and satisfy us with HIS MERCY. So we are going to seek the Lord every morning early and plead for His Mercy Rain to fully drench and satisfy us for this Promise 2017 to be fully fulfilled in our lives.
