What does Baal-Perazim – Lord of the
Breakthrough Mean?
Jana Green
I believe the battle in 2 Samuel 5:18-25 holds a
revelation of just what that should look like.
My prayer is that this article encourages your
faith – so that you know you are closer than you first believed to your eternal
existence.
This is the journey the Lord took me through
that inspired this painting – Baal Perazim.
“The Philistines also went and
deployed themselves in the Valley of Rephaim. So David inquired of the Lord,
saying, ‘Shall I go up against the Philistines? Will You deliver them into my
hand?’
“And the Lord said to David,
‘Go up, for I will doubtless deliver the Philistines into your hand.’
“So David went to Baal
Perazim, and David defeated them there; and he said, ‘The Lord has broken
through my enemies before me, like a breakthrough of water. Therefore he called
the name of that place Baal Perazim. And they left their images there, and David
and his men carried them away.’
“Then the Philistines went up
once again and deployed themselves in the Valley of Rephaim (valley of giants).
“Therefore David inquired of
the Lord, and He said, ‘You shall not go up; circle around behind them, and
come upon them in front of the mulberry trees. And it shall be, when you hear
the sound of marching in the tops of the mulberry trees, then you shall advance
quickly. For then the Lord will go out before you to strike the camp of the
Philistines.’
“And David did so, as the Lord
commanded him; and he drove back the Philistines from Geba as far as Gezer.”
—2 Samuel 5:18-25
—2 Samuel 5:18-25
This scripture is a great picture of the victory
of the Lord’s return. David declares over the land which changes its realm of
existence and purpose.
It also sets the stage for the Lord’s return. On
the second battle we see heaven engaged with the battle.
To inquire of the Lord meant that lots were
probably cast. It amazes me the amount of information David got from casting
lots.
In the victory, the first thing David did was to
rename the valley Baal Perazim. which means “master of
breakthrough.”
David describes the breakthrough like “the
breakthrough of water.”
He also gave all the credit to the Lord. This is
the first restoration for the land. The land now has been prepared for the
influence of the kingdom of heaven.
Secondly, he destroyed the Philistine idols.
(the King James version says they were burned).
Most importantly, David inquired of the Lord.
David was given specific strategy and position.
“You shall not go up; circle
around behind them, and come upon them in front of the mulberry trees. And it
shall be, when you hear the sound of marching in the tops of the mulberry
trees, then you shall advance quickly. For then the Lord will go out before you
to strike the camp of the Philistines.”
I am not sure if there is a natural phenomenon
with the mulberry trees or not. Know this – the sound drove the Philistines
out.
This was a heaven encounter with a heavenly
army. The Arabic states the sound of marching was the sound of horses’ hooves,
like an army advancing in battle.
It would do us all good to know that each of us
releases a sound that beckons the kingdom of heaven.
The reality is that there are more of us than
there are of them for we are of the kingdom of heaven.
As a young believer, 10 years ago, I had an
encounter with the Lord. I needed to get up at a certain time to make a
meeting.
I asked the Holy Spirit to wake me on time. I
was awakened out of a deep sleep by a trillion voices in water.
They were all speaking my name simultaneously. I
answered and darted up as if it was a normal voice waking me up.
When I realized it was a supernatural encounter
I stood frozen in my tracks. It was the voice and voices of many waters.
Revelation 1:15 says “His
feet were like burnished bronze, when it has been made to glow in a furnace,
and His voice was like the sound of many waters.”
What I heard was a solo and a multitude of
voices. It was like a song, although it was one word.
“Then I heard something like
the voice of a great multitude and like the sound of many waters and like the
sound of mighty peals of thunder, saying, ‘Hallelujah! For the Lord our God,
the Almighty, reigns.’” (Revelation 19:6)
I began to realize there is a finished work in
heaven that we can join with in unity.
Two years ago, as I was in my
hotel room in New York, I got this word “I also heard the sound of
their ‘wings like the sound of abundant waters as they went, like the voice of
the Almighty, a sound of tumult like the sound of an army camp; whenever they
stood still, they dropped their wings.’” (Ezekiel 1:24)
Are the Cherubim multiple beings? Are the
connected to the great cloud of witnesses? Are these the righteous made
perfect? “
Then the Lord gave me this utterance – a mystery
in a rhyme–
“There is a true sound being
released. It comes from you the body and it will increase.
Much can be said but more needs to be herd. The sound of heaven is in a one note return.
The sound is in the waters, It Is in the cherubim wings, a mighty rushing wind, a sevenfold expression, a sound of a spring.
Unity of the waters is in the wings. It is the sound of the All Mighty, the soon coming King.
The sound is in the wings and releases the breath; the spirit is in the wheels so you go to what is next.
The key is the sound of A, It is from eternity past. The aleph to tav the beginning and the end
The sound will carry you. You will be in two places at the same time. The everlasting is substance, it is just about time.”

I understand we are a finished work catching up
with eternity past. We also have a tangible existence of our future.
The sound in us can change a whole dimensional
realm of existence. We can join with the kingdom of heaven.
I am not sure how I came upon
it, but the Lord lead me to another scripture. “And I know such a man —
whether in the body or out of the body I do not know, God knows — how he was
caught up into Paradise and heard inexpressible words, which it is not lawful
for a man to utter. Of such a one I will boast; yet of myself I will not boast,
except in my infirmities.” (2 Corinthians 12:3-5)
Paul was explaining to the Corinthians about an
encounter fourteen years ago.
I find it interesting he would not boast of
himself but of the one he was communicating with. Was this a finished work of
Paul himself? After all this was a man in Christ and not Christ himself. God
knows.
The word that I would like to break down
is “inexpressible words” which is unsaid.
Thayer gives a related word (Strong’s
Concordance, G1) which is the first letter of the alphabet. ”Alpha“ the
beginning and the end. Words were not spoken, unspeakable (on account of
sacredness).
This means they were not talking but
understanding. As it turns out it comes from a derivative reho:
rheō
hreh’-o
hreh’-o
A primary verb; for some tenses of which a
prolonged form ( ῥεύω rheuō ) is used; to flow (“run,” as water): — flow.
It seems the sound was in the
water. A given reference is John 7:37-38 “If anyone is thirsty, let him
come to Me and drink. Whoever believes in me, as Scripture has said, rivers of
living water will flow from within them.”
As a born-again believer, you have the sound of
the eternal kingdom in you. The kingdom of God and the Lord of breakthrough.
“I will surely assemble all of
you, Jacob, I will surely gather the remnant of Israel. I will put them
together like sheep in the fold; Like a flock in the midst of its pasture. They
will be noisy with men. The breaker goes up before them; They break out, pass
through the gate and go out by it. So their king goes on before them, And the
LORD at their head.” — Micah 2:12,13
Aslan’s
Place is an organization set on the
foundation of Jesus Christ. Our goal in all things is to follow God’s lead
and to only do what He wants us to do.
We
believe that real freedom starts right here on earth but is only available
through Jesus Christ. In addition, we believe that God teaches us more
everyday through His revelation. However, that revelation must always be
tested against the sixty-six books of the Holy Bible. By doing
so, we ensure that humanism is never introduced into the revelation we
perceive.
The
origin of our name comes from the lion Aslan, a character from C.S.
Lewis’ Chronicles of Narnia. . Aslan is the Turkish word for “lion”.
Throughout Lewis’ books, Aslan represents Jesus Christ.
Therefore
the name “Aslan’s Place” is intended to show that this ministry belongs to
Jesus Christ.
