Pop! | Pastor Chuck Salvo | 12.6.23 | Wednesday | On Fire Christian Church
“Pop”
Pop! Goes the Weasel” is a traditional English-language nursery rhyme and singing game.
Have you ever heard the term “when it rains, it pours”? Well, that is the likely meaning to “Pop! Goes the Weasel.” Let us explain.A spinner’s weasel consists of a wheel that is revolved by the spinner to measure off thread or yarn after it has been produced on the spinning wheel. The weasel is usually built so that the circumference is six feet so that 40 revolutions produce 80 yards of yarn. It has wooden gears inside and a cam, designed to cause a popping sound after the 40th revolution, indicating to the spinner that the work or measurement is done. But in this case, the “popping” is likely not a good thing. If we read back to the verses, so many bad things are going on. Someone is sick, money has to be spent on cheap food, and the like. So, with all these tasks done, what happens next? The wheel breaks! POP!Or, if you want to be more generous, the reading could indicate that in order to afford all these things in life—food, medicine—one needs work, work, work. Get to spinning! Pop! Pop! Pop!The “monkey” referenced is often thought of as money—as in, “monkey on your back.” Therefore, the job of making money is “chasing” you—so, you have to work! And even when you do, things can still go wrong. Pop! Pop! Pop!
What does this mean for the world?
Daniel interprets the kings dream Daniel 2:26

”Now Enoch, the seventh from Adam, prophesied about these men also, saying, “Behold, the Lord comes with ten thousands of His saints, to execute judgment on all, to convict all who are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have committed in an ungodly way, and of all the harsh things which ungodly sinners have spoken against Him.” Jude 1:14-15 NKJV
”saying, “If you had known, even you, especially in this your day, the things that make for your peace! But now they are hidden from your eyes. For days will come upon you when your enemies will build an embankment around you, surround you and close you in on every side, and level you, and your children within you, to the ground; and they will not leave in you one stone upon another, because you did not know the time of your visitation.” Luke 19:42-44 NKJV
Even creation knows something is about to pop
”For we know that the whole creation groans and labors with birth pangs together until now. Not only that, but we also who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, eagerly waiting for the adoption, the redemption of our body.“ Romans 8:22-23
What God did in Egypt He will do again

Faith will be needed in this season!
We don’t chase money money chases us! This will be a season of transfer! The believers will have a sound mind and because of it will make the most money. In comparison the business owners and those who have the ability to bless will see it in you and you will prosper!
