Death, Resurrection Power and Revival (1) (audio) David Eells, 6/14/26 Coming Baptism of Death Unto Life Pearl Harbor James Kehrli (David's notes in red) In December of 1984, about a week after I purchased an old 1940 Cadillac sedan, I was driving around thinking about times gone by, particularly the time before and during World War II. Suddenly I heard the Lord say to me, very softly, “It's 1940 and Pearl Harbor is coming up for the Church”. I thought about betrayal, warfare, death and awakening! I prayed to the Lord about it and He began to reveal to me more about Pearl Harbor. He reminded me of a scene from the film Tora Tora Tora in which one of the Japanese military leaders remarked, after their attack on Pearl Harbor, “I fear all we have done is to awaken a sleeping giant and fill him with a terrible resolve”. I thought about the Church finally waking up to her true condition. I thought about the terrible price our country paid in the 1940's to wake up to the realities of the world political situation. The price was human life, suffering, and destruction. But we did wake up. I thought about December 8, 1941, when we declared war against the Axis powers. Before that time, we were sending arms, supplies and money to our allies, but we were not sending men to help fight. We watched China, the Pacific Islands, France and much of Europe fall to Germany, Italy, and Japan, but we were not personally affected so we did not enter the warfare. It took a catastrophic event to wake us up. (His reference to waking up a sleeping giant reminds me of Tommy Hicks' End Time Vision and it becomes millions of people all over the world.) I prayed about and meditated on what I had heard until May of 1985, when I again heard from God during a baptismal service in our Church. The person to be baptized was an older lady who was quite concerned, even a little frightened, about being fully immersed. But she, after fifty years of disobedience and rebellion against God, desired to be baptized for the first time. Right before I was going to enter the water with her, a message in tongues came forth from my wife. The Lord gave me the interpretation by means of the following vision. This vision describes a future time of great hardship and great blessing for the Body of Christ. He showed me a deep harbor with blue-green water that was clear and calm. There was a Person in the water. This Person was not swimming or standing, but just floating in an upright position. He was motionless, like a sailing ship listing in a windless sea. Many Japanese Zero aircraft came in from the east and proceeded to dive-bomb and strafe the body in the water and the body began to slowly sink. Eventually, the body was entirely under the water. As he went down, I could see that there were many little people on this Body. As this Body sank deeper into the water, many of these small people jumped off just before they were about to enter the water. There were thousands of people jumping off and swimming away from this slow but steadily sinking Body. Some of these people jumped onto beds, which the Lord made clear to me were beds of adultery, and floated away, off to the left. Others jumped onto whiskey bottles and paddled away; still others jumped on books, while others swam off on their own strength. All of the people were floating, swimming or paddling in the same direction. I looked over in that direction, which was to my left, and I saw an extremely beautiful, gigantic woman, with skin and clothing of a deep reddish purple hue, standing solidly on the harbor floor. She stretched out her arms toward the sinking Body and got the attention of many as she very sweetly, seductively, and sincerely called out, “Come unto me all ye that are weary and heavy laden, and I will give you WHAT YOU WANT!” (As we know, God separates His people, and the tares and goats go to the left, as in this vision. This is the Great Harlot of Rev 17:1-5 And there came one of the seven angels that had the seven bowls, and spake with me, saying, Come hither, I will show thee the judgment of the great harlot that sitteth upon many waters; 2 with whom the kings of the earth committed fornication, and they that dwell in the earth were made drunken with the wine of her fornication. 3 And he carried me away in the Spirit into a wilderness: and I saw a woman sitting upon a scarlet-colored beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns. 4 And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet, and decked with gold and precious stone and pearls, having in her hand a golden cup full of abominations, even the unclean things of her fornication, 5 and upon her forehead a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF THE HARLOTS AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.) The people who were jumping off were in a panic, like rats leaving a sinking ship. Some scurried to higher ground on the Body, going from the shoulders to the ears and finally jumping off the top of the head right before it went under. It was clear that THEY DID NOT WANT TO LEAVE THIS BODY, but it was equally clear that they were not going down under the water with it either. The Body was now completely under the water, sinking steadily toward the bottom. Some of the little people hung on as it sank, but after a few seconds of holding their breath, they gave up, swam for the top, gulped a mouthful of air, and swam off toward the woman. The apparently lifeless Body sank deeper and deeper into the clear blue-green water. As it sank, I could see at the bottom of the harbor a beautiful, large, perfect Pearl - obviously of great value. It was supernaturally large and beautiful, lustrous, pure and round. As I watched, I could see the Body change shape from that of a single being, with little people desperately hanging on it, to many little individual people swimming deep enough to get to this beautiful Pearl. As they went deeper, many chose to quit and swim to the surface for air and life and then go over to the beautiful woman. All who quit diving eventually swam over to the beautiful woman. (The water puts to death the old man. They don't want to give up their fleshy life and die to self and follow Jesus.) Finally, I saw a number of these small people swim to the Pearl and touch it, and embrace it. But to do this, everyone who dove down reached a point when they realized that their own natural ability to hold their breath and dive deeper would not be enough. Those who dove down and touched this Pearl all came to understand that they would have to expend all of their natural strength before they touched and embraced the Pearl of Great Price. This did not keep them from diving down though, because the closer they got to the Pearl, the more of His beauty they saw. I saw many touch and embrace the Pearl and then immediately shoot straight up. As each of these little people shot up from the floor of the Harbor, each had the Pearl. As this group of individuals rose higher and higher, they all became one Body again. By the time these Pearl-laden people reached the surface they burst forth from the waters as one Body, the Body of Christ. These people were manifestly His own possession and they, in turn possessed the Pearl of Great Price, Jesus Christ Himself. (Gal 2:20 I have been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I that live, but Christ liveth in me: …) As the Lord was showing me this beautiful picture, He spoke to me and said, “Even as Jesus came out of the waters of baptism, so My Body will come out of Pearl Harbor with a new and powerful anointing of My Holy Spirit, and a new and deadly power to fight the enemy”. He said that there indeed would come upon the Church of Jesus Christ a Pearl Harbor experience like the United States experienced on December 7, 1941. He said that when the Body of Christ begins to sink under the water, because of a soon-coming, devastating attack of the enemy, MANY will choose to desert our Lord Jesus Christ because they do not esteem the Pearl of Great Price (Jesus Himself) worth the price - death to their own selfish desires. They will not make the selfless effort of love to dive deeply enough to embrace Him because they do not love Him more than their own lives. Many will choose not to identify with what they assume is a defeated individual or group. They look upon themselves as winners and will not identify with a Jesus Who is apparently being defeated. They will choose to identify with the beautiful woman of the harbor who gives them what they want. As the vision revealed, many who leapt off the sinking Body because the woman of the harbor promised them success. Because of this, they went to her. Many others did not feel that it was necessary to pay such a high price to apprehend Jesus, and they felt that the beautiful woman would give them Jesus on their own terms. (This is the great falling away and like the parable of the seed and the sower; only one of the four held fast to the Word and bore fruit, 30-60 and 100-fold.) As the Body of Christ came out of the waters of death, the Lord said that His Body was now fully alive and would now fight the enemy with purpose and real anointing. (the coming Latter Rain anointing. Hos 6:3  And let us know, let us follow on to know Jehovah: his going forth is sure as the morning; and he will come unto us as the rain, as the latter rain that watereth the earth.) Also, His Body would now use only supernatural weaponry. He spoke so clearly to me about the weapons. He said, “Even as the United States entered the Second World War using conventional weapons to fight the enemy, and ended the war with the atomic bomb, a weapon beyond their comprehension; so My people will begin this spiritual war with conventional weapons in the Spirit, but by the end of this war to end all wars, they will be using atomic bombs of the Spirit”. The Lord made it clear that we will come out of the water equipped with God-given anointing to REALLY heal the sick, work miracles, and deliver those in demonic bondage. He also made it clear that before the warfare ends, we will be moving in a dimension of spiritual warfare that is unimaginable to us now. We will do greater works than Jesus did and we will see the demon hordes routed like never before. After this message in tongues and interpretation was given, my attention turned back to the woman who was to be baptized. Then the Lord said that the Pearl Harbor experience for His Church would be similar to this woman's baptism. I closely watched this baptism to see what the Lord meant. The woman was very nervous and quite afraid of going under the water. I assured her that she would be all right. After several moments of prayer and a short teaching on what baptism represented, she was plunged underneath the water. She came out of the water with her hands lifted up, praising God. I had not told anyone what the Lord told me about this woman's baptism, because I did not know exactly what was going to happen. When she recovered her composure, she began to testify about what had just happened to her. She said that she was extremely fearful at first, but that when she got under the water, a Beautiful Peace swept through her, and all her fear was gone. This beautiful peace became joy as she came out of the water, and she praised God for His great comfort, love and mercy. I believe that God was showing us that we need not fear what He will put us through. His purpose is to bring us peace, joy, cleansing and power. He was also showing us that His Church will go through a baptism. It is a baptism of the Body of Christ. It is a death and a resurrection. We must trust Him to bring us out of this watery tomb of death and into the glorious resurrection power of His Son. We must understand that a harbor is a place of SAFETY and REFUGE. (As we have been shown. Those who reject death to self will not find this place.) God's people who are involved in these events will need to be safe and protected. The Harbor of the Pearl of Great Price is the only harbor that will provide refuge and safety, and ALL who believe will be more than willing to pay the price of dying to their own desires. Pearl Harbor is the death and resurrection of the Body of Christ, being prepared to do His work in His way, with His heart. It is the final separation of David from Saul - the David Church being purified and separated from the Saul Church. It is the final AWAKENING blast of the trumpet of God to rouse His people for battle. It is the judgment that begins with the house of the Lord. It is the refining fire that separates the gold from the dross. It will be preceded by the Lord dealing with His true people to both survive and desire this final preparation for battle. It is the promise of unmatched power and purity: power over sin, power over the enemy, power to live a much more virtuous life, and power to glorify our Heavenly Father through Jesus Christ by the power of the Holy Spirit. Even now, God is dealing with those in the David Church, even as God dealt with David. Whenever David would start to fall asleep to God's purity and purpose, the Lord would abruptly DEAL with David to AWAKEN him. God did not waste this kind of effort on Saul because Saul CHOSE to be asleep to God and His desires. Pearl Harbor is a warning of betrayal and disaster. The Church in the past has gone through many Pearl Harbors of betrayal and disaster. Jesus was betrayed, killed, and rose again. English Puritans experienced Pearl Harbor in the early 17th century and survived because they could not obey the law that the Church of England tried to force them to obey. They fled England and eventually sailed to the New World, where they laid the spiritual foundation for what eventually became one of the greatest revivals in the history of the world. John Bunyan wrote Pilgrim's Progress at the bottom of the harbor as he was betrayed by his own country and thrown in jail for not attending the services of the Church of England and for preaching in a way that did not conform to this church's liturgy. Had he given in and done that which they asked, he could have been a free man. But for conscience sake he chose not to do so. Because of this uncompromising obedience to the Scriptures and to God Himself, he was able to rise to the highest place in the history of Christian literature. Today, he still blesses us with the fruit of that resurrection power. To those who are not awake and prepared, Pearl Harbor will come suddenly and tragically, as a thief in the night, and they will be swept away to Great Deception. (As we are seeing.) To those who are more open to the will of God than they are to pleasing religious men, it will be an expected ordeal, a call to arms, and a prelude to great victory. The initial stages will be the harbinger of the greatest move of God in history: the Greatest Revival and the greatest manifestation of Christian Unity that the world has ever known.   The Pearls of Great Price Marie Kelton - 1/6/23 (David's notes in red) In this dream, I was in Chicago, and I was walking away from my old house on the sidewalk. (Leaving the house of our mother Church is a sign of growing in spiritual maturity.) I met Thaddeus (God's gift) and Greg (watchful or vigilant), two people I went to school with. (God gives us helpers along the way, like the fruits of the Spirit and wisdom; we must listen to them.) Thaddeus was to my left and Greg was to my right. As we were walking, I asked Thaddeus what had happened to him because I saw that he had a cut on his finger. Thaddeus said that he had a paper cut. I said to him, “Those are the worst.” (Our gifts can suffer when we go contrary to the Word which is written on paper and is a sharp two-edged sword.) We were going across the street and there was a tan van waiting for us to cross so that it could turn right. A red truck was behind the van, waiting also. As we were crossing, I felt an evil spirit grab the back of my shirt to keep me from continuing to cross the street. Thaddeus and Greg continued walking across the street. (We shouldn't get separated from our spiritual gifts by any demon or fleshly influence.) The person in the tan van was getting impatient and turned and hit me with their car. (The demons will try to hold us back so that we fall under judgment.) In the dream I told the Judge (representing the Father) about the car that hit me. The license plate on the front of the van had 333 in it. (Jer.33:3 Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and will show thee great things, and difficult, which thou knowest not.) (This is on the front or before the van hits, so to stop this, we must seek the Lord for His direction and wisdom!) The scene changed and I was in a car. I don't know if I was driving or not. I realized I was wearing an old necklace, and I heard a voice say, “Pearls.” (If our treasures have become tarnished from age or the curse we must sanctify them with repentance and faith and drawing near to Jesus.) In the dream I thought of the parable of the pearl of great price. While in the car, the Lord was supernaturally changing the radio stations to speak to me through the songs. Every time He would change the song, one of the old pearls from the necklace I wore would burst and break and a new pearl would be in its place. (As we seek His face and ask for wisdom, He will give us new born again beauty and values.) I was so excited and asked the Lord to keep speaking to me through songs on the radio. (The Lord's Words are melodious, pleasing Words to our spirit man.)  Mat.13:45-46, Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is a merchant seeking goodly pearls: and having found one pearl of great price, he went and sold all that he had, and bought it. An Experience of Power G. W. - 10/17/22 (David's notes in red) I was going through a time of what seemed like reflection. I kind of felt like my life had no purpose, kind of meaningless. I've been waiting so many years, and it seems like nothing is happening. I didn't feel sad or condemned by it, but rather just wondering what God's mind was on everything. (The Word had the answers but he couldn't stay under it for long and would seek a simple message that did not demand death to self.) So, I was just questioning what God's purposes were for me in my life and if I was missing something. I was really earnestly seeking God and wondering what am I doing? Is there something I'm supposed to be doing that I'm missing? I don't want to waste any talents even though I don't see myself as having any great talents or anything, but I know the Lord has given us all some. I want to be able to use them. Before I went to bed, my wife and I prayed to the Lord about these questions. I woke up in the middle of the night and went to lie down on the couch. As I was lying down on the couch, I don't know if I fell asleep or if I was awake, to be honest. I'm assuming I fell asleep for just a few minutes. It seemed like a dream but I could feel everything happening in my body like it was real. I could hear myself say to myself, “You are such a loser” (I felt like it meant that I was not good for anything, meaningless life, etc.). (“We can do nothing without Him” but “We can do all things through Him”. His power is made perfect through our weakness. This revelation comes before the experience below.) Immediately, after that was said, this incredible Force picked up my entire body. Not even the strongest human on Earth would be able to resist this Force. My body was powerless, as I had no control over my motor functions. However, my consciousness was still there, and I was completely aware of everything that was going on from an observing point of view. This Force was moving me across the ground, as if I were a floating object. I then noticed something that the Force was moving towards. As I got closer, I knew that it was a shadow in the shape of a man. As the Force brought me directly over the shadow, I shot up in the air like a rocket! The Force moved me with such extreme velocity and an incredible amount of G-Force. It felt like my body was shaking like an earthquake (The Lord was showing him that He comes in those who will, through death to self, give themselves over to His Word and power.), as I was going straight up into the air. It seemed like the shadowy figure was what made the Force shoot me directly up in the air. I was shaking so excessively that it seemed to be contorting my face, as if soaring up through the air. I then seemed to come either out of the dream or into an earthly reality. I started to think normally, and I thought, is something wrong with me? What is happening to me? The Force started to wind my body down, and it began to become less intense. It shook me so hard that I could still feel it in my physical body, as I either woke up or came into complete consciousness. I started meditating on what had just happened. I thought about the shadowy figure. The only thing that kept coming to me was Trump. I have no idea why I felt this way. It might have looked like him, I'm not for sure. I don't think about Trump a lot, so it was very unusual for me to think that. (He is typed by Cyrus, who conquers DS Babylon, just when the Man-child is anointed over the Kingdom by the King. Cyrus is a shadow of Trump. Cyrus makes it possible for the Latter Rain Man-child to come and release the captives, as in Isaiah 61. So the shadow person could represent both of these entities ruling under God as the verse he received. The refuge here will be formed and our new provisions to reach the world will come.) I have a Bible App that I check every morning and it sends me a verse of the day. I opened the App and looked at the verse, it said “whoever dwells in the shelter of the most high will rest in the shadow of the almighty”. I was amazed that it had the word “shadow” in the random daily verse!   Resurrected Back to Life D. L. - 05/24/2016 (David's notes in red) In a dream, I was observing a group of about 12 people standing somewhat together. All of them had grey hair that was tending more toward the white. (This could be the 12 Man-children from UBM we have had many dreams about and who have been spiritually resurrected.) Then in walked a tall man who walked directly to the group and to a woman in the middle, whom I understood to be his wife. But he had died some time ago and had been buried at that time. (This is a repeat of history called the “out resurrection” by Paul in Phl.3:11 If somehow I may attain unto the out-resurrection from the dead. This is in the most accurate Numeric English New Testament. Here it is in history. Mat.27:50 And Jesus cried again with a loud voice, and yielded up his spirit. 51 And behold, the veil of the temple was rent in two from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake; and the rocks were rent; 52 and the tombs were opened; and many bodies of the saints that had fallen asleep were raised (Many of these were just dust by the time of this out-resurrection. All of these have a purpose in God's work); 53 and coming forth out of the tombs after his resurrection they entered into the holy city and appeared unto many. 54 Now the centurion, and they that were with him watching Jesus, when they saw the earthquake, and the things that were done, feared exceedingly, saying, Truly this was the Son of God. What a witness of the resurrection to these people! This partial resurrection will be worldwide. As a witness G.C. was resurrected after being dead and buried for 8 ½ months. He came walking into his kitchen to greet his wife. Six people were resurrected that day in a moment.) D.L.- Now, she was no longer a widow, but no one showed any emotion. (These men would have also been resurrected, so it's no surprise to them.) He just walked over to where she was and started talking to her. In the next scene, they were in a room off to my right, standing there talking. Then I woke up and it was almost 4:30 am. As I was waking up, I was still in the dream state and heard a knock at the back door, which is near the bedroom, and I opened the door. It was light outside and there stood my brother Darl, who had been dead since October of 2009 and was cremated. (Cremation is the fast oxidation of the body. The normal rotting of the body is slow oxidation. Both are just dust but God can bring them back.) He had brown hair but the last time I saw him it was white. He said he was on his way to Charlotte, NC to see his daughter and just stopped by to let me know he was around. He said he had a car and plenty of money to do what he had to do. Then he walked away and when he got about 20 feet away, I asked him if he was going to see our five children. And he said yes and that it was in his schedule. End of dream. (They have a God-given schedule for the revival. Could this be a secondary meaning to Paul's words? Php.3:10 that I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, becoming conformed unto his death; 11 if by any means I may attain unto the resurrection from the dead [Numeric pattern is in “the out -resurrection from the dead”]. 12 Not that I have already obtained, or am already made perfect: but I press on, if so be that I may lay hold on that for which also I was laid hold on by Christ Jesus. Paul and others of his caliber will be among them.)   What's the Motivation of Your Heart? Sandy Shaw - April 2016 (David's notes in red) In this dream, the first thing I see is a white brick fence. People are walking on the fence. Some jump on the left side, and then they jump back on the fence. Some jump on the right side, and then they go back to the fence. And this is going on continually with people walking the fence. Then I realized the left side is the way of the world and the right side is the way of the Lord. When I realized that, I heard, “I will spew you out of my mouth” (Revelation 3:16). (Which God spoke to the lukewarm.) Then I noticed a man was standing next to me. I didn't know who he was until he spoke and He asked, “How does this edify Me?” I immediately felt conviction and asked the Lord for forgiveness for having my own agenda. Then I saw a little girl in a house. (A little girl represents immaturity.) She was looking out the window as she saw her friends outside. She was sooo anxious to go with them. She ran to a closed door in the house and knocked on it. And on the other side of the door was her mom. She said, “Honey, I'll be out in a minute”. At this point, the little girl turned and looks out the window and turned around and knocked on the door again. And her mom said, “Wait for me. I'll be out in a minute”. The little girl ran to the big window and saw that her friends are in the next yard. She ran to the table and saw paper and a pencil. She wrote, “I'll be back in a little while. I'm going to play with my friends”. So Mom comes out and called for the little girl and saw that she is not there but she saw the note. Time has passed, and the little girl comes back and she says, “Hi, Mom!” And Mom says, “Honey, come and sit down”. The little girl says, “Mom, did I do something wrong? I left a note; didn't you see it?” “Yes, I did. But I asked you to wait.” “But my friends had gone to the next yard”. Mom said, “Now I know I need to give you punishment. First, because you didn't wait and your plans are not my plans for today. Therefore, you did not listen”. Next, I saw a big tree. I was sitting under it with the same man next to me. He said, “Examine the motives of your heart. Are your desires My desires? Are your desires lined up with My Word? Examine the desires of your heart. Is the agenda of your heart yours or Mine? Your motives, your heart, your agenda -- are they lined up with the Word? Am I your All-in-All?” Pro.16:2 All the ways of a man are clean in his own eyes; But the LORD weigheth the spirits. 4:23 Keep thy heart with all diligence; For out of it are the issues of life. Mar.12:30 and thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength. Psa.27:14 Wait for the LORD: Be strong, and let thy heart take courage; yea, wait thou for the lord. Isa.55:8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith The LORD. 9 For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.   Surrendering Brings Swift Victory T.F. - 1/14/23 (David's notes in red) Suddenly, I felt the Lord's presence so strong in the spiritual realm. I then saw at that very moment, that in an instant, God could remove all the filth in my flesh and soul 100%, quicker than I could think, and He could manifest His presence 100% in my body and soul. I saw that it had already been done, and the manifestation could be done instantaneously. (The manifestation is progressive but it can be finished quickly. Php.1:6 being confident of this very thing, that he who began a good work in you will perfect it until the day of Jesus Christ. Psa.81:13 Oh that my people would hearken unto me, That Israel would walk in my ways! 14 I would soon subdue their enemies, And turn my hand against their adversaries. 15 The haters of Jehovah should submit themselves unto him: But their time should endure for ever.) I know many other brethren pray for God to manifest Himself in us fully (Eph.3:19 to know the love of Christ which passeth knowledge, that ye may be filled unto all the fulness of God.) We all want to be 100% dead to self, and my soul desires it so much for all of us. We know that, by faith, it has already happened and we will see it manifest in the physical realm. But, in that moment, when I saw He could do it all right then, my flesh got so terrified because it couldn't handle the presence of God that strong and that intensity so quickly. I desire it, and I know it will happen. But there is so much that I still have to let go of that isn't Christ, that God hasn't even revealed to me yet; so many hidden things. But God will reveal those things in His perfect timing, and I desire to let go of EVERYTHING that isn't Holy. I have thought that the complete removal of self in an instance would hurt because it is all I have ever known and His holiness replacing it would hurt if it happened without me being fully prepared. I felt that it had to be a gradual thing. I must let go of things bit by bit, and then the Lord can come and fill those spots, until there is nothing left but Jesus. I must keep letting go of my own carnal thinking, reasoning, and understanding and filling it with the Word and His Holy Spirit. (This is why God told the Israelites that every place that they set their foot in the Promised Land, He would give them. Because if He had wiped out their enemies all at once the land would have been overrun with wild beasts. So, He ordained that they conquer it a little at a time. Exo.23:28 And I will send the hornet before thee, which shall drive out the Hivite, the Canaanite, and the Hittite, from before thee. 29 I will not drive them out from before thee in one year, lest the land become desolate, and the beasts of the field multiply against thee. 30 By little and little I will drive them out from before thee, until thou be increased, and inherit the land.) I have felt and experienced what I would describe as my flesh surrendering bit by bit to the Spirit and the Word, but some parts still haven't surrendered completely and if it happened instantaneously, possibly my mind and body couldn't handle it. God's timing is perfect and we need to be prepared every day for an increase of Him in each of us in our soul and physical body. When we surrender to His Spirit willingly and surrender our whole heart to Him, it is so much easier for our body to submit. (1Co.9:27 but I buffet my body, and bring it into bondage: lest by any means, after that I have preached to others, I myself should be rejected.) Yes, I want the complete manifestation and deliverance from all evil in my soul and body, but I realized that it is a progressive thing, so that my physical body can handle it. God doesn't give us more than we can handle. God wants His Son to completely manifest in each of us. I can see Jesus growing and increasing in the brethren more and more, and it is so beautiful to witness. After experiencing this, I have felt so much closer to God and that every day we are getting closer and closer to Him manifesting in us fully. Every day, whether we see it or not, we are dying to self in some areas and He is coming into us more and more than the previous day. (Joh.3:30 He must increase, but I must decrease.) Everything is His grace and can only be done by His grace. It is all because of Jesus. ALL Glory and praise to Our Father and Lord Jesus forever and ever! Lord, let us all willingly surrender to Your Spirit in all areas of our existence. Allow us to love You more and to rest in You, accepting Your grace and allowing You to flow through us. Thank You Lord, that Your grace is beyond anything we can comprehend. Thank You that we can do nothing without You, but we can do everything through You. Thank You that it's not us living, but Christ living in us. Thank You that we are dead to self and alive unto You, God in Christ Jesus. Thank You that Jesus has set us free from the law of sin and death! Thank You, God that it is all You for all eternity! (My husband prayed and saw a young fruit tree - ambitious to bear hundreds of fruits, but not yet mature to do so. As the branches grew, buds formed all over and flowered. In time the tree was able to bear the amount it could handle.) Empty Me, (for Jesus) Debbie Fensky – 10/24/19 On Wednesday morning, October 23, I was awakened at 4:13 a.m. by a loud voice. I had fallen asleep on our sofa, and Denny was in the bedroom. My first thought was that he was yelling to me to get up. But when I looked at the clock, I saw it was too early to get up to get ready for the morning meeting. My mind cleared enough to realize that it was not Denny's voice. It was the voice of God or the voice of an angel of the Lord. And what He spoke was not in words I recognized. And it was really loud! It sounded to me like two words were spoken. I asked Father to let me know what He was saying through these words. I immediately heard, “Empty,” and He continued speaking. “This is the word for you, My people. Empty! The time is now to be empty! I am still uncovering hearts. Will you spend time with Me? For your hearts, your very life, is the temple in which I dwell. Do you know that you represent My authority? Do you truly know? Know this, that I know your name, for you hold My Name. I am going to bring back much truth to remembrance and reveal spiritual to spiritual. (The disciples related that this happened after Jesus died and was resurrected.) You are My spiritual people, and I want to continue working a spiritual work and a deep work in you and among you. And My authority will be upon you as you allow the spiritual light and truth to pour forth into your heart, and your mouth will speak deep things of My Spirit; things I have taught you. And people will know these things are true. But, My people, there is still some emptying out that needs to take place. For yea, I am cleaning you up. I am making you clean. Only be empty. Empty your hearts and yourselves of all your belongings, longings, and your trifles. Yes, even your own nothingness. What you think of yourself is not important. Glory only in that you are in Me, and that I am everything in you. I have a job to do through you. I have chosen you to be My humble, My emptied out, and cleaned up vessels. But I am letting you know the time is short. And I still need room for total residence.” I was moved by what Father said. And I was intrigued and wanted to know how “empty” was pronounced in the Hebrew. And I wondered if it was two words. So I tried something - I looked things up, asking God to lead me. In Hebrew, “empty” is “tohu bohu.” That was about the length of the words that I heard spoken to me so loudly. Some “empty” definitions: decant, lay bare, empty, raze, spill Strongs Hebrew 7386 adj; rake, empty, vain. Much that we give ourselves to is nothing; only vain. Strongs Hebrew 8414; formless, confusion, unreality, emptiness, desolation, empty space It said, properly spelled, it is, “tohuw bohuw.” And somewhere in all of this belongs, “tohu wa-bohu.” And this meaning (Heb), wasteness, that which is laid waste, desert, emptiness, vanity. But, “tohu bohu” is parallel to Isaiah 34:11, confusion, emptiness. Speaking about God's wrath against the nations, which we want to have no part of. So God is still telling us to get things of Egypt out of us. Isa.34:11 “But pelican and hedgehog will possess it, and owl and raven will dwell in it; and He will stretch over it the line of desolation and the plumbline of emptiness.” Father, may we desire to become completely empty of ourselves and our personal correctness, all that is vain, so that Your plumb line finds us measuring up to the fullness of Your likeness in us, so that we do not fall behind and even become as one of the nations. God, we need You to help us give it all up. Thank You for Your grace to do what You are being so long suffering in telling us to do. We do want You fully and totally residing in us. Lord, in Jesus name, help us to keep the end in view! Amen. Eph.4:12-13 “until we all attain to the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a mature man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ.” 1Th.5:6 “so then let us not sleep, as others do, but let us be alert and sober.” Get Ready for God's Great Reset! The One Word Order - Kolyah - September 14, 2021 Rhema Word … 9.13.21 … entrusted to Kolyah … released just prior to Yom Kippur “Little ones, are you ready for My hard reset of your world? It is best that you prepare now, for in an instant, of My choosing, the brakes on this runaway world will suddenly be applied down to the floor … to the foundations; bringing this global wickedness to an abrupt halt. When that happens, there will be a hard tossing about, with slamming, banging, and pain for those who are not braced, awake, and aware. (This reminds me of Eve's Dream of the US/China Train coming to a sudden halt.) Do you remember the report of the loud shrieks of horror and mourning that arose in Egypt's night, at the death of their firstborn? Truly, I say to you, it shall happen again on a worldwide scale, as I bring forth the disclosure of the truth that will shatter hearts, minds, idols, and strongholds by the power of truth that will not be held back, modified, or contained behind closed doors. The cries of anguish and despair will finally bring the level of breaking necessary for the people to realize how wickedly they have been deceived, and how eagerly they have ingested the poisons promoted by the deceivers. (On both sides. This could be the EBS that Trump and the Alliance have been planning, revealing the DS satanic crimes and the false Christian leadership.) They will think that ALL IS LOST, as they see the price that they have paid for their blindness, stubbornness, pride, and fear. As no household was untouched by the grief arising throughout Egypt at the time of the first Passover, so shall it soon be in your day. Only the households that heeded my warning and those, who obeyed My voice, will be spared the depths of the pain. The righteous will mourn and grieve for those around them. They will weep for those across the world, who will be writhing in unspeakable agony of soul in the realization of the pit into which they have fallen. I will allow the righteous to feel the pain of seeing the losses among those whom they love, but I will not allow them to go into the deepest depths of soul pain; only into the depths of intercession that will lessen the pain in others. My compassion will undertake. Have I not said that those who did not LOVE the truth would fall into deception? Too few believed My word regarding that matter. As I am the first Truth, whom they are to love, those who have had a shallow, fickle affection for Me will find out the grave consequences of being casual about truth and without true love … and the results of accepting, as fact, only those things that fit into their own grid … into their prideful grid of comfort and human knowledge. They will feel horrifically betrayed, and well they should. Their own souls have betrayed them, because their love of My truth, and of My reality was only partial. In the pain of their consequences, they will have the opportunity to exchange an appreciation of truth for a committed LOVE of the truth. Not only am I Truth and Love, but I am also Justice and Commitment. Human justice and convenient human commitment will be humiliated through what is to be revealed soon. The deep falsehoods in the human premises will be shattered as My truth comes down like a hammer. Truth will not come down as a soft rain, for rain requires years to erode rock and to move mountains from their place. There is no time for that now. A rock smasher and a mountain crusher are needed to awaken the sleepers and to expose the truth before all is lost. The Enemy has been working his plans with wicked brilliance. I have allowed it to unfold in order to entrap him, and all those who are in league with him. The lies, which have provided the glue to secure their wicked plans and mandates of unholy power, are about to be changed into a slime. That slime will be powerless to hold their deceptions together. The road, which has been cemented into place through their deceit, will begin to sink and separate. Where then, will they walk in their prideful power? Who will join them on that slimy road, once the truth is exposed? All this will come … but first the howls and the tears must come to soften the hardened hearts, and to bring them to the melting point in the laser light of hot Truth. My way is righteous and wise. You must trust Me. The fear of Me has been replaced with the fear of man. The awe of Me has been replaced with the awe of inventions and technology. The awareness of human vulnerability has been replaced with an awe of intellectual prowess and confidence. All of these strongholds of wicked false worship, and of arrogant disregard of Me … all the strategies designed to supplant and to replace Me … will be brought down into dust. (What? No Med-beds? The use of AI, CGI, and high-tech devices.) It is good to be down on your knees in this hour, as the final round of increased shaking takes place. On your knees, you will be properly positioned before Me. Those on their knees will not be knocked down as the world rocks. Their personal kingdoms will not fall down upon their heads. The posture of submitted humility will be the place of safety for those who seek Me, and who abide in Me. But be advised: what is about to take place will greatly disquiet your souls. Do not allow the pain you see manifesting in the multitudes, nor the shrieks of those you love, cause you to mistrust or to despise Me. Trust Me that the process I bring forth will set My Great Harvest into place. Go to your knees soon, and remain in a spiritual posture of humility before Me as these days unfold. The Enemy of your souls will put up an even greater fight to retain power, and to seize even more. I have already declared the boundary set against this advance and have put that boundary into place. It will not be moved by him, nor by any of his associates. It will stand firm, for I have decreed it. (The boundary is the Bride. As in my vision of 2007, the boundaries of the catastrophes were the refuge.) Get out of the way of what I am about to allow and do. Move into a place of safety as I direct you. Do not fear and do not depend upon your own survival strategies. Simply abide in Me and be well. I will not allow more than you can handle. Have I not entrusted the words of truth in Psalm 91 to be a holocaust blanket, and a sure safety to surround you? Declare those words and find safety in the shelter of those promises. Know that the wailing of the masses will seek to disquiet you; to take you into fear and doubt. Don't go there, but rather profess your faith and stay in the Spirit at all times. Lock down in Me and hold. Gather in those who are standing, but who are weakening. Be a support of faith for each other. Share the treasure and the provision which I have given to you for this hour. What I provide will be more than enough. Entrust your troubled heart to Me. I will hold it securely and will fill it with all the love and hope you will need. Know this: I am fully in control. There is NOTHING out of My hand, plan, or notice. There will be many who have been on the fringes of faith, who will declare that My way is NOT GOOD. They will feel the horror of the unveiling, and then cry out that I am cruel for allowing such things. I AM MORE compassionate and patient … more loving and kinder than any of you can fathom. My path is a hard one, because the rebellion is very deep and widespread, consuming a great portion of humankind. (Stripes that wound cleanse away evil.) Unless there is a clearly visual manifestation, revealing where the influences of rebellion and deceit have taken your world, the changes in hearts will be only temporary and shallow. There are lessons to be learned. There are people to be reborn. There are powers of great evil embedded into every facet of human life that must be disclosed and stripped. As a result, these painful measures are necessary. I will allow only the smallest level of suffering required to bring the vital changes. The length and depth of human suffering will be determined by the speed at which the hearts and minds submit to the purpose of the shakings. See to it that you lovingly, clearly, tell the ignorant and the arrogant the truth about what is happening, and about what will yet happen. If you do not speak the truth to them, the hollow spaces formed within their human souls because of the shaking will be quickly filled with more lies, bringing more rebellion and more defiance against me. Cooperate with My plan to bring a Great Awakening, and see the Glory come to your world as a result. Hold on tightly to Me. The most violent shaking is about to come. (Spiritual and physical! In the warfare that is coming, there will be violent earthquakes which they are very capable of making; to say nothing of the nukes going off.)HOLD! Rest in Me, and do not withhold the truth from the terrified and perishing. The deceptions that have held them are about to crack. The trauma and terror of it will bring forth good fruit as we work together. All will be well. Trust, stand, obey, and believe. I am with you, and I am in charge. In the final analysis, you will bless Me for what I am about to allow, as well as that which I am about to bring forth from My own hand. Hold, and thank Me in advance for the glory which is soon to come to your world to change everything.” At the time we received this last revelation in 2021, a year after COVID-19 and the DS death jab. We prayed for people who took the shots and saw healings. We prayed for those who were infected by those who got the jab and saw healings. We know worse plagues than the DS's vax are coming. We have prayed for lost friends and seen healings. Some people who got the shots got placebos and showed no infection. Some only got the first shot and show less trouble. Cry out for mercy and God answers. The revival of the Man-child ministries will heal many when they believe. Mark 11:24 is still true. Mar.11:24 Therefore I say unto you, All things whatsoever ye pray and ask for, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them. Like Esther, intercede for your family and the people of God that they repent and accept God's word and turn this thing around for them. Many times God changes a decree when touched by faith. Pray for your loved ones and cover them. All things are possible to him that believeth. Like the woman who, in rebellion, finally decided to get baptized, and shared her experience of the extreme fear she felt before she was submerged in the water, which was replaced by a beautiful peace and joy. That's what's coming for those who obey and surrender to the Word of God. The power of the Holy Spirit will fill those who repent and obey.   Prepare, I Come Quickly Eve Brast – 8/20/18  Yesterday, as I was working, around 11 am, the Lord spoke to me very clearly, “I come quickly... Go, My daughter, and write the things I speak and warn My people.” So I grabbed my notebook, and He said, “In a very little while you shall see Me. I come quickly. Tell My people to enter into the secret places of their hearts and cry unto Me for purity and holiness; to press into the voice of My Holy Spirit. Listen to My voice in the quiet place. Soften your hearts to My corrections. Cleanse yourselves of all defilement of flesh and spirit. If your hearts are pure and willing, I will fill you with My power to overcome. Separate yourselves from distractions and the useless things of this world and this life. There is so little time left. So little time!! Seek Me with all your mind, will, and strength and I will be found of you. Don't faint in the day of adversity! Many judgments and terrible things are coming. Do not get weary of seeking Me daily. Do not grow weary of sanctification. Be diligent to be found in Me. When I return and judgments fall, will you be found in Me? Your adversary is increasing his activities, especially against My holy ones, seeking to deceive and destroy as many as will listen to his lies. All idolaters will fall. Wherever idols are found, the enemy will gain access to your souls. The idol of self is the biggest deception. You sit on the throne of your own hearts and are deceived by your own mind, will, and emotions!! Put on My whole armor and fight! Do not let down your guard even for a minute. Understand your enemy's tactics! He will use your friends, even your brethren, your family members, and your phones and electronic devices to keep you from obeying this word I speak to you. Resist the distractions and the cunning deceptions and lies. Do not listen to lies! Cast down every vain thing, every vain thought, or these will take root in your heart and mind and exalt themselves above Me and My Word. Then shall the scales cover your eyes and your ears will be stopped, and the deceptions will overtake you! You will not even recognize it. Go forth in intercession, void of distractions. Don't be slothful! Pray without ceasing and I will lead you to victory. You will be found in Me and the devil will have nothing in you. In this way you will live in the light of My truth. I will lead you forth in victory, conquering all your enemies. I have provided everything you need, but you must use it!” I asked Father for a text for this word by faith at random and my finger was on the phrase, “there is no respect of persons” in Colossians 3:25 (in context 1-25) Col.3:1 If then ye were raised together with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated on the right hand of God. 2 Set your mind on the things that are above, not on the things that are upon the earth. 3 For ye died, and your life is hid with Christ in God. 4 When Christ, who is our life, shall be manifested, then shall ye also with him be manifested in glory. 5 Put to death therefore your members which are upon the earth: fornication, uncleanness, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry; 6 for which things' sake cometh the wrath of God upon the sons of disobedience: 7 wherein ye also once walked, when ye lived in these things; 8 but now do ye also put them all away: anger, wrath, malice, railing, shameful speaking out of your mouth: 9 lie not one to another; seeing that ye have put off the old man with his doings, 10 and have put on the new man, that is being renewed unto knowledge after the image of him that created him: 11 where there cannot be Greek and Jew, circumcision and uncircumcision, barbarian, Scythian, bondman, freeman; but Christ is all, and in all. 12 Put on therefore, as God's elect, holy and beloved, a heart of compassion, kindness, lowliness, meekness, longsuffering; 13 forbearing one another, and forgiving each other, if any man have a complaint against any; even as the Lord forgave you, so also do ye: 14 and above all these things put on love, which is the bond of perfectness. 15 And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to the which also ye were called in one body; and be ye thankful. 16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly; in all wisdom teaching and admonishing one another with psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts unto God. 17 And whatsoever ye do, in word or in deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him. 18 Wives, be in subjection to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord. 19 Husbands, love your wives, and be not bitter against them. 20 Children, obey your parents in all things, for this is well-pleasing in the Lord. 21 Fathers, provoke not your children, that they be not discouraged. 22 Servants, obey in all things them that are your masters according to the flesh; not with eye-service, as men-pleasers, but in singleness of heart, fearing the Lord: 23 whatsoever ye do, work heartily, as unto the Lord, and not unto men; 24 knowing that from the Lord ye shall receive the recompense of the inheritance: ye serve the Lord Christ. 25 For he that doeth wrong shall receive again for the wrong that he hath done: and there is no respect of persons. Deborah Fensky - 8/29/18 God started speaking this to me last week in a couple of the morning meetings and last Friday night's meeting. Since last Friday, after I was done receiving this word, several things were shared here and there that matched up with or seemed to me to confirm things in this word. I had been questioning God about Him being bitter. But then He reminded me that He hates, and how in so many places in the word, God expressed what and who His soul hates. He let me know that He can be bitter too. Then on the last conference call Michael asked everyone, “Can God hate?” Along with other things this week that have been said, I felt God was confirming this word to me. But I did ask Him today to confirm with 2 heads if I should share this now, or wait. I know other words have been spoken that we need to remember. Yet, today I tossed and immediately got 2 heads. “I am bitter toward My people. I am bitter with anger. Listen, My holy ones. Have I not said that I come quickly? I come quickly, with a strong vengeance. For My people disregard Me. They disregard My ways. They refuse to seek Me out, but stubbornly adhere to their own likes and desires. Yet, though I am bitter with anger towards My people, My mercy will cause Me to hear their cries of repentance. Hear My cry, My holy people. I need you. I need you to pray and fight for My lost and stubborn children. And I need you in this day to continually draw close to Me. Live in love and faith, and in the wisdom of My Word and by My Spirit. For though living in an evil day already, as I have warned, dark evil is soon to descend upon all the earth; a darkness so gross that the light of My Glory to shine forth, penetrating that darkness, drawing My lost people out of the world to the light. I am the Light. My holy ones, you are the Light. You in Me and I in you. The dark and evil day is upon you. Thrust all your faith in Me and Me alone. There can nothing be of yourself. Yes, the day you are about to enter is a day of deep darkness, but a day of My power. It is the day My Glory will be fully revealed in My holy ones. Have I not said, I come quickly? I need you to trust Me. I need you to make yourself ready. Make yourself ready!”

The sermon presents a theological exploration of Babylon as a symbol of false religion, tracing its origins to the Tower of Babel in Genesis 11, where humanity's pride, rebellion, and desire for self-exaltation led to divine judgment through the confusion of languages. It emphasizes that Babylon represents a system rooted in man-made unity, worldly ambition, and spiritual adultery—replacing God's revealed will with human traditions and idolatry—manifested throughout history in the worship of deities like Baal, Ashtoreth, and the Queen of Heaven. The passage from Revelation 17 identifies the Great Harlot as a global religious system that seduces nations through spiritual deception, symbolized by her opulence and influence, ultimately destined for divine judgment. The sermon warns against ecumenism that compromises biblical truth, urging believers to remain faithful to Christ alone, the only true way to God, and to examine their hearts to ensure they are not entangled in the world's false religious systems.

Study of the Book of Revelation

Revelation 17 and 18 reveal the vision of Babylon the Great, the Great Harlot who seduces the nations through wealth, luxury, and idolatry. In this episode, Steve Wood explains how the “wine of fornication” represents idolatry—placing anything above God—and how wealthy empires throughout history have drawn nations into moral and spiritual corruption. This study connects the biblical harlot imagery to past empires such as Jerusalem and Rome, while showing how Revelation describes an ongoing global influence that continues in the modern world.

In this episode of Luke21, Steve Wood explores Revelation 17 and the mysterious figure of Babylon the Great Harlot. Who is the woman riding the scarlet beast, and what is the “great city” that dominates the kings of the earth? Steve explains why Babylon represents first-century Rome, while also pointing beyond Rome to the recurring pattern of godless world empires that culminate in the final Antichrist. Drawing on Scripture, biblical history, and the Catechism of the Catholic Church (CCC 675–677), this episode highlights the prophetic tension between past fulfillment and end-times reality. A clear and compelling Catholic guide to understanding Babylon, Revelation, and the Church's final trial. For more resources, visit us online at www.BibleforCatholics.com.

Thursday, 23 October 2025   “Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a dragnet that was cast into the sea and gathered some of every kind, Matthew 13:47   “Again, the kingdom of the heavens, it is like a seine having been cast into the sea, and from every kind having been gathered.” (CG).   In the previous verse, Jesus told the parable of the Pearl of Great Price. Next, He begins another parable, saying, “Again, the kingdom of the heavens, it is like a seine.”   A word found only here in Scripture is seen, sagéné. A seine or dragnet. It is a derivative of satto, to equip, “especially a pack-saddle (which in the East is merely a bag of netted rope)” HELPS Word Studies.   Such a net is curtain-like. It would be weighted, thus forming a circle for the fish as it dropped. As it is pulled out, the fish would be captured in it and hauled onto the shore or boat. As several of the disciples were fishermen, and as they probably all went out together while in the Galilee, they would all be aware of what Jesus was referring to.   Of this, Jesus next says, it is “having been cast into the sea.” The sea is where fish are, but Jesus is making a metaphor. So understanding the sea in the Bible will help us understand the intent. The sea has several overall connotations, including chaos or a place of chaotic existence, thus unpredictability. In such a place, there is danger, such as sea monsters.   It also gives the idea of the people groups of the earth, who by nature are generally chaotic, even if there are governments and some sense of order. That is seen, for example, in Revelation 17, where the Great Harlot sits on many waters, meaning in lands throughout the earth. There it says –   “The waters which you saw, where the harlot sits, are peoples, multitudes, nations, and tongues.” Revelation 17:15   A similar analogy is seen in Daniel 7:2. One can think of the multitude of languages, cultural ideas, and norms, etc. Thus, there is a sense of the chaotic. The net is thrown into the sea, “and from every kind having been gathered...”   The verse stops in the middle of the thought, but one can see that there is a sense of a gathering from the sea. Without going any further, it cannot help but be seen that this extends beyond Israel. If Israel represented one type of fish, there would be harmony, not chaos. Though there may be various accents, there was one language to unite them, etc.   Life application: It is a chaotic world. Despite this, in modern times, there is the ability to supposedly overcome the chaos in ways never thought of before. In the past, if there were nations with distinct languages, say English and Chinese, there was an absolute need to have people proficient in both languages available in both nations for effective diplomacy to take place.   If there were an interpreter from China only, that interpreter could bias the translation on behalf of her country, thereby gaining an advantage. Only by having two independent translators verify one another could diplomacy truly be considered reliable.   This process required integrity, time, sound education, etc. Today, the world's languages are quickly being digitized, and in real time, languages are able to be interpreted in both languages through the power of computers. Curiously, there is the obvious play on this by the tech giant Google. The place where languages were separated was Babel –   “But the Lord came down to see the city and the tower which the sons of men had built. 6 And the Lord said, ‘Indeed the people are one and they all have one language, and this is what they begin to do; now nothing that they propose to do will be withheld from them. 7 Come, let Us go down and there confuse their language, that they may not understand one another's speech.' 8 So the Lord scattered them abroad from there over the face of all the earth, and they ceased building the city. 9 Therefore its name is called Babel, because there the Lord confused the language of all the earth; and from there the Lord scattered them abroad over the face of all the earth.” Genesis 11:5-9   In an assent to this event, the modern Google translator is called Babbel. It is as if they are attempting to undo what God had done. Obviously, God knew this would occur, but the point is that man's efforts, like at Babel, are being directed to uniting the people of the earth as if to show their primacy and ability to cast off God.   Nothing has changed. Man believes he has the ability to do anything. But there are underlying divisions in the world that would have to be dealt with. An example of this is found in Daniel 2:41-43. Such things must be dealt with, and it will lead to great slaughters of people in an attempt to harmonize the goal of world unity. The problem with that is that no two people think exactly the same. The only way to have absolute unity is to eradicate everyone else. God understands this. Hence, Jesus said –   “For then there will be great tribulation, such as has not been since the beginning of the world until this time, no, nor ever shall be. 22 And unless those days were shortened, no flesh would be saved; but for the elect's sake those days will be shortened.” Matthew 24:21, 22   How desperately man needs God's hand to direct him. Without that, we are all goners. Thank God for Jesus Christ, the Savior of mankind.   Gracious and glorious heavenly Father, thank You that we have a hope that extends beyond this tragic, fallen world. Because of our Lord Jesus, there is hope for humanity. Someday, we who believe the gospel will be gathered before You for all eternity. There will be no more war or conflict. Won't that day be wonderful? And so, we pray You speed the coming of it. May it be so. Amen.

A new MP3 sermon from Founders Baptist Church is now available on SermonAudio with the following details: Title: The Revelation of The Great Harlot Subtitle: Series - Revelation 2024-2025 Speaker: Richard Caldwell Jr. Broadcaster: Founders Baptist Church Event: Sunday - AM Date: 10/12/2025 Bible: Revelation 17:1-18 Length: 57 min.

In Revelation 17:1-18 Pastor Grasso explains the significance of Babylon, the great harlot, who rides on the beast. Babylon stands for the religious arm that persecutes the people of God in connection with the state. Surprisingly, in the end the beast will cast off this alliance and claim all power for itself in the person of the antichrist. Evil always ends up fighting against itself, and this will be true in the end as well.

ORIGINAL AIR DATE: NOV 18, 2017The longest prophecy in the NT is Revelation chapters 17-18. This prophecy has also received the most wide-spread commentary and analysis than any other. Opinions vary as to the identification of the Great Harlot and the meaning of the beast she rides but one thing is clear: the Scriptures present this prophecy within a context of a literal city.Is this city Rome, Babylon, Jerusalem, or perhaps New York City? There are arguments for each. However, one candidate for this city of the whore that makes drunk the Kings of the earth is receiving renewed attention. That city is Mecca within the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Can it be that Mystery Babylon has arisen on the world stage in our time in the form of Islam and specifically the form of Islam originating from the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia known as Wahhabism, also known as Salafism?Stay tuned for my conversation with author, researcher, and prophecy expert Joel Richardson in this episode of SER.

This Sunday let's uncover what the great harlot represents in Revelation 17, discern the meaning of the vivid imagery of this chapter and learn how this vision serves as both a warning and a call to faithfulness.

Join us as we continue in the book of Revelation.Have spiritual questions?

In this sermon, we dive into Revelation 19, where the destruction of the "Great Harlot" marks a victory over evil and ushers in the ultimate celebration in heaven—the "Marriage Supper of the Lamb." Communion not only points us back to the Cross but also forward to this glorious event when Jesus will drink of the vine with us in His kingdom. Don't miss this powerful message of hope, redemption, and anticipation of eternity!

Turning Tables Here in Egyptalon, it's a language issue. The Hebrew language. One day, the tables will turn: “For at that time I will change the speech of the peoples to a pure speech, that all of them may call upon the name of the LORD and serve him with one accord.” (Zephaniah 3:9) This echoes the three principles of the fall moedim, which are a step of sorting the sealed righteous from the intermediates from the wicked. Prayer to purify, repentance to seal, charity to the suffering to prove the heart change and willingness to serve the Kingdom. The first principle, prayer, is a practice of purifying the speech, measuring one's own prayer against the standard of the Word. Those sealed with the Name of YHVH are one as He is One. They do not bear the many names of individual idols, but they are a unified, accurate reflection of His image as a nation apart. In a sense, because we tend to impose our face over the face of Elohim (“no other gods in front of me”), the world sees a distorted representation of His Name in us, especially when we assemble all our individual gods that we sometimes choose to place before obedience to YHVH. Too often, we are not a representation of Him, but of our mixed obedience and unreliable loyalty to His Oneness. In that sense, it is also a hearing issue: “Hear, O Israel, YHVH our Elohim, YHVH is One.” At the end of days, “The LORD shall be King over all the world, on that day the LORD will be One and His Name one.” (Ze 14:9) There will be no misrepresentation of the Holy Name in that day. Because the names, or reputations of people will reflect the holiness of the Word, His true reputation will be known by all the living. The blasphemous names of the Great Harlot in Revelation may be a reference to traditional thought about how even in slavery in Egypt, Israel maintained a vital connection to the Promise of the Fathers: their names in exile. The Israelites' Hebrew names, uncorrupted with Egyptian names, set them apart, even the tribes of Joseph, Ephraim and Menashe. They retained a “pure speech,” Hebrew, even though many among them descended into idolatry.  They were still a nation apart because of their literal names, but a name is also reputation. Their sexual purity retained the identity of the nation through the generations. Only when the greater part of the nation maintained sexual morality could they retain their identity with their family, clan, tribe, and nation. These two identifiers, speech and sexual morality, set them apart in Egypt. James, who addresses the “twelve tribes scattered abroad” places emphasis on Godly speech in order to keep one's Bridal garments unstained, the Bridal Bridle: “If anyone thinks himself to be religious, and yet does not bridle his tongue but deceives his own heart, this man's religion is worthless. Pure and undefiled religion in the sight of our God and Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their distress, and to keep oneself unstained by the world.” (Ja 1:25-27) James emphasizes three aspects of the bridal garments as the three pillars of the fall moedim: Controlling the tongue by keeping the waters pure, also a prayer practice Exercising practical holiness by alleviating the suffering of those in distress, charity Sealing the fountain with repentance, which aids #1 by not allowing new pollutants to fall in. See how great a forest is set aflame by such a small fire! And the tongue is a fire, the very world of iniquity; the tongue is set among our members as that which defiles the entire body, and sets on fire the course of our life, and is set on fire by hell. For every species of beasts and birds, of reptiles and creatures of the sea, is tamed and has been tamed by the human race. But no one can tame the tongue; it is a restless evil and full of deadly poison. With it we bless our Lord and Father, and with it we curse men,

No matter your political affiliation, there are disturbing occult details about Kamala Devi Harris - and it has nothing to do with her or her policies. Kamala means “pale red” in Sanskrit and Devi means “goddess” of destruction. This makes Kamala the red goddess of destruction, otherwise known as Lilith or Lamashtu, who in her main incarnation is a Queen of Night and aborter of children and the tempter. She wears a rainbow around her neck and her followers abandon their biological gender. Kamala's number one issue is abortion and she is an enormous promoter of the rainbow ideology. A search for the Whore of Babylon (Great Prostitute) bible verse on some search engines strangely brings up a New York Times article about Kamala Harris and her abortion stance. Remember also that Kamala reportedly only moved up the political ladder, receiving two appointments, for having an affair with San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown while he was married. This alone tarnished her image and made her out to be a political whore. Not to mention the Great Harlot goes by another name - the Scarlet Woman. An anagram of Kamala's full name reads “Aarika Devil Harms,” the first word actually being Sanskrit for “beautiful” - the Beautiful Devil Harms, certainly another reference to the Great seductive Prostitute. The other Adversarial Hakim, meaning Shatan Wise Man. In Hindu mythology, Devi accompanies Shiva in the doomsday tandava (dance). In the performance these two characters conquer an elephant (Republican) monster who is forced to dance until death. Shiva, and Devi, then wrap themselves in the blood and flesh of the elephant and finish the dance - in laughter. In 2020 when Kamala became Vice President, the Democrat National Convention changed their logo so the star pointed to the east. Interestingly, the spirt of the east is named ORIENS, as in Orient (Biden's deals with China), who rides a donkey (Democrat) in a performance (2020 Convention) followed by a woman (Kamala). This demon, when called forth, heralds the destruction of the western world. ORIENS is often linked to the fallen angel Samael, and controls vast hoards of other demons that can be called to service. Samael is the seducer, destroyer, and accuser. Kamala is furthermore a name of one of the Pleiades, which are universally associated with destructive floods and the destruction of the entire world - also, they are linked to sacred dances like those of Shiva and Devi. What all this means is open to interpretation, but it seems to be another example of using subtle references to certain occult themes in order to draw on otherworldly forces for power in this world. It is the hidden hand controlling human affairs. Kamala, if anything, is a vessel for this spirit of destruction just as witches are vessels for the Green Man or Moon spirit, Christians for the Holy Ghost, or Oracles for the gods to speak from. -FREE ARCHIVE & RSS: https://www.spreaker.com/show/the-secret-teachings Twitter: https://twitter.com/TST___Radio Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thesecretteachings WEBSITE (BOOKS, RESUBSCRIBE for early show access): http://thesecretteachings.info Paypal: rdgable@yahoo.com CashApp: $rdgable EMAIL: rdgable@yahoo.com / TSTRadio@protonmail.com

Did you know that discerning the Great Prostitute of Revelation 17-18 is perhaps more important for the church today than understanding the Beast and the Mark of the Beast?

John's use of women: misogyny/patriarchy? Revelation also portrays the people of God as the Bride Revelation's imagery is not meant to suppose that Babylon is actually a female prostitute John's choice to depict Babylon as a prostitute must be viewed against the imperial portrait of the goddess Roma Must be read in light of the biblical depiction of Lady Wisdom and Lady Folly in Proverbs 1-9  The Greek word for “city” was a feminine noun that required a feminine pronoun John was not writing from a position of power. He does not have the power to exclude or silence Jezebel The imagery of making naked, devouring flesh, and burning with fire are all associated with siege warfare

If we believe the civic process is THE answer for our future, we might want to think twice when the coming Harlot Babylon soon begins presenting humanity with all the 21st—century essentials of the good life. What began as a lame, man-made tower in ancient Mesopotamia, will end as the most shocking expression of man's brazen desire to build a religious and social utopia.Subscribe to the Podcasts so you don't miss a new episode.

Fall Of Babylon  (audio) David Eells - 8/30/23  Babylon Dragon Falling  Alenna Timoshchuk 8/25/23 (David's notes in red)  I was in my backyard standing on my pool deck and looked into my pool. There was a massive log from a tree in the water that stretched across the whole length of my pool. (Babylon's fall is over the pool of God's word that judges them. God judged Babylon and it fell because of how they treated the saints. Just like our factious satanists, who are a part of it, will fall and be destroyed.)   In shock I looked up, and behind my pool deck was a massive tree stump. The width of the stump was also the length of my pool, and I knew that it used to be a very tall tree. (In Daniel the stump didn't fall but was preserved as a symbol for 7 years as a beast eating grass, representing the flesh of the saints.) I thought, it's just not possible for this tree to fall like that and not crush our home in its fall, but I knew God protected us. Then my heart was filled with the fear of the Lord, and I opened my eyes. (True, Father will protect his saints and set them free from Babylonish, satanic bondage.) End of vision/dream. (In Daniel the tree was the leadership of Babylon, which fell when it was cut down for its pride. It is satan, the dragon of Rev 12 with his satanist demons even in the local coven, which is falling from heavenly dominion, cast down by the saints in Rev 12.)   This vision reminded me of a dream I had when I was nine or ten years old.  I dreamt I was in my mom's kitchen. I was looking out the window, and the sky was a very dark grey with large dark grey clouds. (Dark grey represents death.) I saw sheep, covered in blood, raining from the sky. (The falling away are losing their place in heaven because they are guilty of blood of the saints.) They were upside down (They are backwards to everything Christian.) and falling to the ground. Then I saw the tallest tree I'd ever seen, and it was leaning over almost touching the ground, and I exclaimed, “Mom! The tree is falling!” (Babylon the dragon who would devour the Man-child and Bride will fall instead.)  End of dream.      Judgement on the Anarchist Left  Winnie Osegueda 11/17/21 (David's notes in red)  (The Anarchist Left plan on destroying much in defense of the Left who are losing power. They don't care that it will be according to law and truth for they never care about such things. The Alliance forces are planning to bring them down.) After 11pm on the evening of the 16th, I was reading Ezekiel 32 for the morning prayer meeting, and I specifically received: Eze 32:12-16 By the swords of the mighty will I cause thy multitude to fall; the terrible of the nations are they all: and they shall bring to nought the pride of Egypt, and all the multitude thereof shall be destroyed. 13 I will destroy also all the beasts thereof from beside many waters; neither shall the foot of man trouble them any more, nor the hoofs of beasts trouble them. 14 Then will I make their waters clear, and cause their rivers to run like oil, saith the Lord Jehovah.   15 When I shall make the land of Egypt desolate and waste, a land destitute of that whereof it was full, when I shall smite all them that dwell therein, then shall they know that I am Jehovah. 16 This is the lamentation wherewith they shall lament; the daughters of the nations shall lament therewith; over Egypt, and over all her multitude, shall they lament therewith, saith the Lord Jehovah.  (Many agree that Egypt is a type of the world.) I asked the Lord for a dream regarding this and I went to sleep and had the following dream.   I dreamt that I was at my aunt's apartment in New York, which is right across the hall of my mom's apartment, and there were two tabby cats there. One was a fluffy white and light gray striped tabby cat, and the other was an orange and white striped tabby cat. My mom (Representing the apostate Church) had so many cats and she needed help to get rid of some of them. (Cats represent independent and self-willed natures.) I pleaded with Chuc for him to allow me to take one of these cats back home and he said that he would need a shovel and so my mom gave him a large shovel. My aunt wanted to remain with the orange and white tabby cat so I decided that I would take the white and gray one back home with us and we did.  (Take no cats from apostate Christianity) My aunt was preparing for her death and told me to come get from her place anything I wanted to have or needed. (In real life the doctors have given her the bad report and said they would not be able to operate on her, as her veins in her hands were breaking, and that she should spend time with her family as they do not believe she has much longer to live, however I am believing differently for her. She does not know the Lord yet, but she will.)   The scene changed and I was watching a YouTube video on my phone of this young Christian woman named Jenice, whose videos I watch sometimes, sharing a testimony. The visuals on her video were so beautiful and realistic, that it almost felt like I was in the video watching in real time. (The name Jenice means God is gracious.) I saw scenes of a beautiful mountain and lake, as well as a dock to jump into the lake in some of the scenes. Over some of the visuals, there was pink coloring and sketching, as well as a white outline that digital artists and designers call a "stroke." The video was very unique and creative and something I had not seen before.   Jenice began to share the testimony of another girl who treated her unkindly, and instead of returning evil for evil, she had a lot of grace towards the girl who mistreated her. (Cats are famous for anarchy and anarchists especially don't like Christians.) When she was sharing this part of her testimony, I could see a desk and a notebook in a classroom setting, and it was so close, it was almost like I was sitting there. The notebook had writing that I do not recall, but perhaps it was regarding this testimony Jenice was sharing, and I vaguely remember the word "grace" being on the notebook. I remember thinking her testimony was amazing, worded beautifully, and full of wisdom, so I took heed.  (True Christians give grace to rebels but the Media-Persians who conquer these Babylonians will bring justice.) Jenice knew that God is the one who takes care of everything, so there is no need to return evil for evil and she then said, "Look what happened to Minnesota," regarding the judgment that had come there because of people like the young woman who mistreated her. When she said this, I saw a visual of a cup falling over and spilling from right to left. The cup had kind of the shape of a bottle you might use to mix different liquids or chemicals in chemistry class. Then in the video Jenice mentioned helping others and cats by rehoming the cats, and it made me think of the cat that I brought home from my mom's house, and I felt that is what I needed to do as well. I really wanted to help my mom, but I realized I cannot keep the cat myself. (We need none of the rebellion in the apostate Church.)  And then I woke up. Regarding my mom and the cats, I thought of the verse Gal 6:1 Brethren, even if a man be overtaken in any trespass, ye who are spiritual, restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness; looking to thyself, lest thou also be tempted.  When I woke up, I wondered why would judgement come upon Minnesota, as it is such a random state and not one of the "sin cities," however when I looked up Minnesota news, I saw, and then remembered, that Minneapolis, MN is the epicenter and catalyst of the major BLM movement that happened in 2020 after the George Floyd incident. I believe they represent the far left who have caused so much damage with their rioting and faction and just plain wickedness, which the Communist left used for their political gain. (Satanists and communists are always anarchists and will do their best to stop this revival in government and Church but they will fall.)  I believe it is just a representation of the judgement coming to them and not necessarily about Minnesota itself, although it could be that as well. There was an instance where a wall that had a George Floyd mural was destroyed by lightning, so it was very clear that God is not pleased with this. I asked the Lord for a chapter regarding this dream and received: Psa 1:1-6 Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the wicked, Nor standeth in the way of sinners, Nor sitteth in the seat of scoffers: 2 But his delight is in the law of Jehovah; And on his law doth he meditate day and night. 3 And he shall be like a tree planted by the streams of water, That bringeth forth its fruit in its season, Whose leaf also doth not wither; And whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.   4 The wicked are not so, But are like the chaff which the wind driveth away. 5 Therefore the wicked shall not stand in the judgment, Nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous. 6 For Jehovah knoweth the way of the righteous; But the way of the wicked shall perish. If we do not want to be judged with Egypt and the wicked, we cannot partake in any of their ways.       America Shaking Coming  Prophet Ken Dewey 8/22/23 (David's notes in red)  (Missy: This reminds me of the Word given to Ken about DC shaking and that no one will come out from under the rubble that the Lord doesn't want in the new government. I believe, if I'm correct, this also parallels with the faction against our ministry being judged.)  (This was an interpretation of tongues)  “I AM moving them around and they will not be able to tell what they are doing, nor will they fully understand until they open their eyes only to see they fell down and have lost their positions. Don't you know that they do not know even now which road to take, for they are truly confused as to what step to take next? I AM walking through them and they cannot stand.”  “Their stupidity has gone to seed and they walk as dead men walking, nor do they know in which way to turn, for their intended confusion is now theirs. Watch them fall down hard. Hitherto I have led them, even in the darkness where they think they are masters in walking. I AM not blind at night, for I see the same in daytime and night. They cannot hide their sins from me, for I see them all.”  “I will pass over My People, and they will be safe, but those who are not mine they will be shown the harsh life they have so prescribed upon others. It will come back as a boomerang and hit them in the head. Watch them stumble and watch them fall.” (They will now reap what they have sown. All the curses they have sent will fall on them.) “The ground beneath many feet will be unstable and as you shake you will all strive for safety, but for many it will be too late for they have wasted their days and have not prepared for the immediate days following Me, I AM that I AM — and beside Me is no other.”  He said for me to add these Scriptures:  “And they said, Stand back. And they said again, This one fellow came in to sojourn, and he will needs be a judge: now will we deal worse with thee, than with them. (Just as the factious satanist perverts have tried to do in our day.)  And they pressed sore upon the man, even Lot, and came near to break the door. But the men put forth their hand, and pulled Lot into the house to them, and shut to the door. And they smote the men that were at the door of the house with blindness, both small and great: so that they wearied themselves to find the door.” Genesis 19:9-11 (And as You Know Lot escaped and the perverts in Sodom and Gomorrah were destroyed. As the dragon falls so go the satanists.) I have written what I heard said, and I did obey. I was thinking about those in the Government of this land of America and heard the above words.      Death Angels- Stop Angels   Prophet Ken Dewey August 26, 2023 (David's notes in red)  I began to hear the following words a year ago, and this morning I heard The LORD speaking more about how He would bring a new day in this Nation of America.  He has said that much will change, and there will be a very hard time coming, but The LORD will bring America [in part] to a new beginning. (The fall of the Babylonish Lawless Dragon and Rise of the new order.) A new day in this Nation of America. He was not talking about the Second Coming of Christ, nor was he talking about the Tribulation days coming or the coming of the Antichrist, nor was he talking about a Worldwide Judgment, but a coming judgment upon America. He was not talking about a catching away. What He was talking about was judging and changing this Nation, that a new day would come, a day of great light and blessing upon His People who Know Him. But the evil men will be stopped and many will even die. He talked about the present condition of the Government and evil men in America.  Here is what He said: “I AM in these coming days doing a Work that I must work before things happen in America. This one Work will cause many to fall down, out of the way, for the coming of a New Day in this Nation. The present will suddenly perish. One thing they cannot control is Death, for it walks this land and even as the firstborn in Egypt died, so will it happen again, (but not my first born) but all who have My Mark upon them, will suddenly fall down. I have been marking them who will fall — they have a evil mark and I put it there upon them. (The mark in the forehead and hand represent the mind and works of the flesh.) But My People have a good mark that I only can see, and the Angels. I will send My Ministers [Angels] with a destroying weapon in their hands and they will smite all who have the evil mark! I will pass over all who have My Good Mark upon them. (Representing the mind and works of Christ)  Some may say: ‘Death Angels', but what I say is: ‘Stop Angels', for it is mostly that I will suddenly stop them in their tracks and they will turn and run in fear of what they cannot see. Panic will break out, and great fear will grip their souls and cry they will, for they do see but do not see, understand but do not understand. They will only fear for fear does fear the unknown.  My People will only watch them fall all around them, watch them run away! (We had a dream just like this about the satanists who planned to sacrifice our sister in their perverted way.)  Shame them? Yes, I will cast great shame for what they do and plan to do, and They will dread the final end. They will shake in the knees and fear for what they will see.  Me? I will walk among them! I have hidden Myself in the clouds — but I will cause a great wind to blow away the clouds. Suddenly with their eyes they will see Me, the very one they thought did not exist. (Their lord satan will not save them.) Like a great wall of refreshing water will come across America and when it passes over all will be green and growing, and the desert will bloom and the vacant land will no longer be undesirable. (The water of the Word will be sent through the Man-child and Bride ministries bearing much fruit.) Many will rush to do great exploits for many that were not marked for Evil will see in New Light. Suddenly awakening, and they will see with new eyes. Hang on, the ride will be rough, but the way will be clear.  A time of Mourning. They will reap what they planned, for I AM tired of them planning to destroy My People and My Land.” (God will judge those who have persecuted His saints)  Scripture: He said, “Compare this event and liken it in part to Ezekiel 9. Go read that chapter to understand.”  I have posted this Word in Obedience to my LORD. It is His Word, and I only the Prophet to speak it and to write it down.      The Wicked Are Slain Ezekiel 9:1-11 Then He called out in my hearing with a loud voice, saying, “Let those who have charge over the city draw near, each with a deadly weapon in his hand.” And suddenly six men came from the direction of the upper gate, which faces north, each with his battle-ax in his hand. One man among them was clothed with linen and had a writer's inkhorn at his side. They went in and stood beside the bronze altar. Now the glory of the God of Israel had gone up from the cherub, where it had been, to the threshold of the temple. And He called to the man clothed with linen, who had the writer's inkhorn at his side; and the Lord said to him, “Go through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem, and put a mark on the foreheads of the men who sigh and cry over all the abominations that are done within it.”  (The righteous are grieved at the evil) To the others He said in my hearing, “Go after him through the city and kill; do not let your eye spare, nor have any pity. Utterly slay old and young men, maidens and little children and women; but do not come near anyone on whom is the mark (Passover of God's righteous); and begin at My sanctuary.” So, they began with the elders who were before the temple. Then He said to them, “Defile the temple, and fill the courts with the slain. Go out!” And they went out and killed in the city.  So it was, that while they were killing them, I was left alone; and I fell on my face and cried out, and said, “Ah, Lord God! Will You destroy all the remnant of Israel in pouring out Your fury on Jerusalem?” (Apostate leadership of the people) Then He said to me, “The iniquity of the house of Israel and Judah is exceedingly great, and the land is full of bloodshed, and the city full of perversity; for they say, ‘The Lord has forsaken the land, and the Lord does not see!' 10 And as for Me also, My eye will neither spare, nor will I have pity, but I will recompense their deeds on their own head.”  Just then, the man clothed with linen, who had the inkhorn at his side, reported back and said, “I have done as You commanded me.”      Keep Your Eyes On The Prize  Dana Coverstone 7/21/23 (David's notes in red)    https://www.youtube.com/live/6h78Q6hNbqA?feature=share  This dream began with me standing on a very quiet corner in a large city with a Jumbotron-type monitor. So, think Times Square in New York, on the monitor streaming the news, and the latest stock numbers on the side of a downtown building.  It was very early in the morning, and the sun was up. The sun was out with no clouds, and there were a few people out walking, but they were all holding umbrellas even though it was a full sunny day. It was nice weather, and everybody had an umbrella out. (The umbrellas could represent man's means to hide themselves from the sun/Son.)  Now just behind me was a city newspaper stand. When I say a city newspaper stand, think New York City or Chicago with the wooden doors that open where they sell newspapers and magazines on racks and all the sundries. They were selling candy and cigarettes, gum and mints and things like that. And then, the owner walked out toward the edge of the road, and he stood beside the side of the road. And that's also where I was standing, by the road, just watching, and he came and stood beside me.  He was also carrying an umbrella, and it was open as if it was raining. So, he has the umbrella beside him and it's early in the morning. (Early morning could represent the timing where we are now, “early on the morning of the third Day”.)   He was standing beside me on the edge of the road, and he said to me, "Can you believe how bad the world is getting and how little the government is doing to fix it?" (The general population of the world relies on the government for everything and expects them to solve the problems, not knowing they are behind the causes, and the people are receiving a government they deserve.) And I simply said as I looked at him, "My faith is in the Lord." I spoke normally, just very casually and with no emphasis, just, "My faith is in the Lord."  And then he got in front of me and held the umbrella cradled into his neck and he grabbed my shoulders with both hands, and he said, "Keep your eyes on what we tell you. No matter how bad it gets." (The dumbed down DS MSM manipulation and “Project Mockingbird” deception.)  And then he said, "And ask your Lord for better weather then because we're tired of the rain." And he peeked out from under the umbrella and looked up into the sky, and then took it back. (This could represent the judgments of God falling on the wicked for their works now reaping what they have sown.)  (Eze 38:22-23 And with pestilence and with blood will I enter into judgment with him; and I will rain upon him, and upon his hordes, and upon the many peoples that are with him, an overflowing shower, and great hailstones, fire, and brimstone. 23 And I will magnify myself, and sanctify myself, and I will make myself known in the eyes of many nations; and they shall know that I am Jehovah. )  (Psa 11:6 Upon the wicked he will rain snares; Fire and brimstone and burning wind shall be the portion of their cup.)  Okay, my first thought was, "It's not raining, why do you have the umbrella?" And he says, "You know, because they're tired of the rain." (Fitting in with the rest by complaining of the judgments so richly deserved.) At that moment, a box truck came around the corner and the guy ran over about ten feet from me and just a couple feet from the edge of the road to get it. And he stood right beside this big puddle. It was big, and it looked like a very wet puddle. And as the truck was moving around the corner, a side door opened, and a guy was standing there with a huge bundle that to me looked like a square hay bale at first. And if you ever grew up in the Midwest, you know what a square hay bale looks like. (Hay bales are a rectangle shape. Hay is dried grasses and other foliage representing flesh according to Peter's “All flesh is as grass” statement. This hay is for feeding the beasts. It looked like hay to him because they are feeding the masses what their flesh wants to hear.) Yeah, I moved plenty of those for my grandfather when I was a kid.  And he threw it in the air with great strength as the truck was moving. It seemed like he was struggling to get it there, but he threw it to the curb and it landed right in the middle of that big puddle.  And I realized then that this was a bundled stack of newspapers like they used to throw on the corner, and the newspaper guys would get them in their stands. And it landed in that big puddle, and it splashed the guy that was standing there with this red substance. It looked like blood. So the square hay bale of newspapers lands in this big puddle, and it just throws this red-colored substance everywhere.  (The MSM is guilty of blood for their coverups of the crimes against Americans and they will soon pay.) Now my shirt and pants became covered in this red substance, and I took out a handkerchief. Now, look folks, I have never used a handkerchief in my life, okay, so that stood out to me in the dream. But I took this handkerchief out, and I cleaned myself off. I even went over to this cement-based water fountain, and I got this handkerchief wet with water, and I'm wiping off my shirt. I'm leaving wet spots on me, as I'm wiping off this red substance that looks like blood because I felt I had to get it off me quickly. I guess what I thought was, I've got to get this stuff off me quickly before it stains.  (When we speak the truth we won't be guilty of blood.) And the newsstand guy walked right into the puddle; he just walked into it. So I saw it was deep, and it was big. He walked into the puddle, grabbed the bale and he headed for the newsstand. He walked back to the newsstand, about 20 feet, and he was dripping this red substance like a trail, okay? And when he gets back, he drops this big bundle of papers real heavy on the ground. He just throws it down violently, and all the wet stuff on it splashes onto his newspapers and his newsstand. It's just all over the place.  So, I walked over and asked if he knew what the red stuff was on the papers, and which was now also all over his other paper goods. He looked at me like I was crazy and said, "What red stuff?"  (They do not take credit for passing on lies to their unwitting victims.) And I pointed to the papers and the magazines. And he said, "Sir, Are you okay?" "Or do you need some medical attention?" (Those who speak the truth are deemed conspiracy theorists who need medical attention.) And I said, "The puddle the newspapers landed in splashed a red substance all over me and all over you." And he stepped back, and he looked around. He said, "I don't see anything that looks red."  (The “news media” should be reporting of all the deaths and bloodshed their DS is guilty of, but instead they are guilty of blood. The MSM are “false prophets” and puppets used to deceive and say everything is a conspiracy to cover up their involvement. Do not feed your soul on their garbage or you will be polluted.)  He looked at me, and I could see he was thinking, and I explained that I had cleaned it off me, and I showed him the handkerchief that was now all splotchy red, covered with what had been on me. (We need to warn people as the Lord leads.)  (Eze 3:18-21 When I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; and thou givest him not warning, nor speakest to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life; the same wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thy hand. 19 Yet if thou warn the wicked, and he turn not from his wickedness, nor from his wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy soul. 20 Again, when a righteous man doth turn from his righteousness, and commit iniquity, and I lay a stumblingblock before him, he shall die: because thou hast not given him warning, he shall die in his sin, and his righteous deeds which he hath done shall not be remembered; but his blood will I require at thy hand. 21 Nevertheless if thou warn the righteous man, that the righteous sin not, and he doth not sin, he shall surely live, because he took warning; and thou hast delivered thy soul.)  And he pointed his finger at me, just like he was looking down the barrel of his finger at me, and he said, "Head on down the road or else you're going to start scaring my customers away." (They don't want to hear the truth and they don't want you to share it.)  Well, by this time, I see that more people are walking by with umbrellas, and a few are picking up the paper goods and leaving money in a jar, and that jar is marked "The Declared Truth." (The MSM make known what they want people to perceive as truth according to their agenda and DS plans to depopulate the masses.) These people were also covered in the red substance and they were also all oblivious to that. (The vast majority of people are in darkness and have been “dumbed down” by the DS media.  They are in idolatry with the government and the false church leadership. The declass of the ten days is directed at these people which as we see many are not willing to accept truth.)  The newspaper guy approached me again to ask how I was, and I noticed a button that he was wearing on his shirt, and it said, "If we don't say it, it ain't true." I asked him what that meant, and he shrugged and said, "If you can't figure it out, you're worse off than I thought." (I.e., just go with the narrative we give you “as the truth”. Don't rebel against the media. And even the majority of Christianity is led by non-spirit filled leadership who do not exhort people to search out the Truth in the Bible for themselves.)  I then saw on the back of his shirt a message that was spelled out in the splash marks of that red substance, and it said, "Shallow state is my place." (This represents the shallow news that strains out a gnat and swallows a camel.) And then suddenly, there was gunfire in a car going down the road behind me, and there was shooting into the crowd. I noticed nobody moved any faster, and nobody even looked at it. If you can imagine just driving down the road and there's a shooting on the sidewalk and nobody notices, nobody cares, and nobody's worried or concerned, that's what this was like. (Dumbed down America doesn't want to hear anything disturbing against their illegal government. They are in denial of the spiritual death killing them.) Now there was a young guy on the ground close to me who was bleeding profusely, and I ran over to him and told him to lay still because he had been shot. And I went to grab my phone, but he said he was fine and would be late for a meeting, so he tried getting up, even though his leg was not working. Now the guy is covered in blood. He's got several bullet wounds, and it seems like he doesn't even know he's been shot. (He has been murdered by lies.) I tried to hold him down when another shot rang out and he took another round in his chest, and I said, "Lay down, lay down and I'll help you." But he just kept trying to get up, and finally, his body started to get really slow and weak, and he eventually dies right there while he was trying to get up. I laid him down, looked around, and I noticed that nobody was taking cover.  Now we live in a country today, where if there are gunshots, everybody turns their head, ducks down, and looks for a way to go and get out of the way. Nobody was moving in this dream. Even the newspaper guy, I saw he'd been shot too, and he was limping around the newsstand. He was applying pressure to a gunshot wound in his gut area, but he wasn't panicking, and he wasn't saying, "Hey, help me." He was just going about his life with no concern for the fact he'd been shot in the gut, which is not a good place to be shot. (They are dying a spiritual death just like the DS they unwittingly worship.) There were others on the ground dead too, but most of the people were just walking by and paying no attention to the hurt ones, and all the people walking by still had umbrellas out, but nobody was running or hiding.  And I began to pray out loud in tongues in the dream. I was watching people die. I was watching people bleeding, and nobody was concerned about what was happening, and it was hurtful. I was sobbing. I was weeping. I could feel the loss. It was a very empathetic dream, but nobody seemed to be taking anything seriously at all. They were just walking by the dead people. They took no cover from the gunman. (Who were the news media assassins.) Next, the Jumbotron started to count down, and at the bottom of that screen, it showed the stock market was tanking quickly, and on the screen there was a picture of the Bulls on Wall Street and a video of people nonchalantly breaking windows.  I mean with no concern, just tapping on the windows, breaking them, throwing chairs, showing no emotion, no looks on their faces as they were doing this. There were tall buildings, and then people were jumping out of those tall buildings. There were no screams or cries, no yelling. It was like there was no energy from these people at all. Others around them paid no attention as if it was not real or a joke.   And then I saw a news anchor, who was also covered in the red substance; she was in a newsroom, not out in the street. She was sharing some video footage of things happening around the area of people being shot, people jumping from windows, and all this, but as she spoke, she spoke in a very slow monotone. So, I will imitate what she did.  She said, "Yes, people are dying, but don't worry and don't hurry because we know it's going to be all right. Trust us because we know." She literally said this.  And with that, she gave this big "thumbs up," and then she winked so hard it was almost like she would be injured doing so. I mean, she really exaggerated her wink very graphically. (Meaning this is really a joke and far from the truth.)  And then I began looking around at people covered in the red substance, and they were everywhere. All of a sudden, the crowd around me on the streets of this big city, or town, they're everywhere. But nobody seemed to actually see the chaos. There were people lying down. There were people jumping out of windows, but you did not hear yelling or screaming, or crying. People are just going through the motions. They seem to purposely ignore it. (The Great Harlot of Babylon is guilty of the blood of the saints and mankind.)  (Eze 22:1-13 Moreover the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying, 2 And thou, son of man, wilt thou judge, wilt thou judge the bloody city? then cause her to know all her abominations. 3 And thou shalt say, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: A city that sheddeth blood in the midst of her, that her time may come, and that maketh idols against herself to defile her! 4 Thou art become guilty in thy blood that thou hast shed, and art defiled in thine idols which thou hast made; and thou hast caused thy days to draw near, and art come even unto thy years: therefore have I made thee a reproach unto the nations, and a mocking to all the countries.  5 Those that are near, and those that are far from thee, shall mock thee, thou infamous one and full of tumult. 6 Behold, the princes of Israel, every one according to his power, have been in thee to shed blood. … 9 Slanderous men (The factious satanists are famous for this.) have been in thee to shed blood; ...   11 And one hath committed abomination with his neighbor's wife; and another hath lewdly defiled his daughter-in-law; and another in thee hath humbled his sister, his father's daughter. (Clearly the factious satanists perverted lusts) 12 In thee have they taken bribes to shed blood; …  Rev 18:24 And in her was found the blood of prophets and of saints, and of all that have been slain upon the earth.)  And then a man walked up to me and asked if I was all right, and I turned to see it was the Man that I always see.  I didn't say anything; I just turned to him to look. And he said, "I see it all, and I know it all. But many in the church see as much as these that you see in the streets. Too many in the Body see nothing and they see that on purpose. I say to you to keep your eyes on the prize and be consistent in your discipline."  He continued, "They need to purchase salve for their eyes so they can see and once seeing, get busy serving me in public."  (Rev 3: 15 I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot. 16 So because thou art lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will spew thee out of my mouth. 17 Because thou sayest, I am rich, and have gotten riches, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art the wretched one and miserable and poor and blind and naked:   18 I counsel thee to buy of me gold refined by fire, that thou mayest become rich; and white garments, that thou mayest clothe thyself, and that the shame of thy nakedness be not made manifest; and eyesalve to anoint thine eyes, that thou mayest see. 19 As many as I love, I reprove and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.)  He continued, "The blind are leading the blind into the ditch and I cannot help them there, though I want to. See with my eyes all that needs to be seen and refuse to see what they want you to." He then walked away. (The apostate leaders are the hirelings, false teachers and prophets without the spiritual gifts, and discernment and are leading the many astray. Many are like the Church of Laodicea; they are lukewarm towards the Lord. God's people need to seek Him, seek righteousness and the Truth.)  (Mat 15:14 Let them alone: they are blind guides. And if the blind guide the blind, both shall fall into a pit.)

Babylon’s description as “the great harlot” refers to the spiritual prostitution and fornication that categorizes the apostate church of the Tribulation which is unfaithful and rejects the Lord Jesus Christ.

For additional notes and resources check out Douglas' website.What exactly is the battle of Armageddon? Is there going to be a literal battle, as Revelation 16 seems to indicate? And how can we prepare for this awful battle at the end of time?1. Around 95 AD, the clear and present challenge to the Christian faith is emperor worship. Domitian is the first emperor to demand it in his lifetime. The center of emperor worship was Asia Minor, esp. the province of Asia (where Ephesus is).2. Armageddon comes from the Hebrew har-Megiddo, hill/mountain of Megiddo, on the edge of the Valley of Jezreel.3. Revelation is a book rich with symbolism, including 100s of allusions to the Old Testament.4. The general environs of Megiddo was a frequent battleground. Here are 34:BC2350 Pepi I and the "Gazelle's Head" -- Jezreel Valley1479 Thutmose III v. Canaanites – Megiddo1430 Amenhotep II in the Valley -- Jezreel Valley1360-1350 Biridiya v.

Arabs -- Ramat David Airfield1973 Israelis v. Syrians -- Ramat David AirfieldComments on Rev 16Background: Plagues on Egypt (Exodus 6-13)The plagues are not fulfilled literally.Rome will fall and this is just: Invasions, plagues, corruption, ultimate demise.Not only to show she will fall, but to show that she has fallen….She is nothing but a cheap harlot (Rev 17).Metaphors involving sun, moon, and stars are common in apocalyptic literature.The God whom the Romans are defying is in control of the sun (not Apollo); he's in charge of the entire universe!Refusal to repent, refusal to admit God is right.Natural disastersEconomic slumpsInept and pleasure-seeking leadershipStupid laws and brutality in the governmentInvasionsAll warning signs ignored! (Are we paying attention to the "warning signs" in our own day?Eastern kings the threat to Rome – never subdued the Parthians.Dragon (ch 12) – Satan – the true power behind Rome.Don't be impressed by her power, or her false wonders.She is directly opposed to the Lord God Almighty!Rev 16:16 refers to Megiddo, where Sisera thrashed Jabin, Judges 4; and Necho slew Josiah, 2 Chron 35.Next chapter describes the Great Harlot, and in chapter 18-19 we read of her fall--the battle has in effect already taken place. Revelation is filled with different ways of describing God's ultimate defeat of Satan.This is speaking about Rome, yet the cosmic truths behind the description could just as well refer to any enemy of God. He's got no chance.There are many obstacles to taking the language of Revelation literally; I am afraid the preachers on pop religious radio are misleading many. The earliest recorded "battle of Armageddon" took place nearly 4400 years ago, and there have been dozens -- perhaps scores -- of battles in the region of Megiddo since that time. In other words, "Armageddon" is an image of warfare, for it reminds us of the battles waged from time immemorial.What would Revelation 16:16 conjure up in the mind of the reader/listener familiar with O.T. history?What does Gettysburg signify to an American? Normandy to a European? How about Waterloo? Focus on theology, not literal history. What is God trying to tell his people?Warfare--a showdown. The forces of good will ultimately triumph over the forces of evil, for Rome is not ultimately sovereign. Only Jesus Christ is the true King of Kings and Lord of Lords. ConclusionsThere will be no literal "Battle of Armageddon," radio preachers notwithstanding! Yet through the millennia, there have been numerous literal battles in the vicinity of Armageddon.It's an encouraging image, an apt picture of the cosmic battle between God and Satan, indeed! God's word assures us, in the book of Revelation, that ultimately he will vanquish every cause that sets itself up against him, his Son, and his kingdom. And in order to walk the walk of disciples, we need that assurance!If this is not a literal battle, there is no way to prepare for it physically. And yet both testaments urge us always to be ready to meet God. So rather than stockpiling water, canned goods, and ammunition -- as some survivalist groups practice -- it is the Lord's will that we heap up righteousness and good deeds, sharing what we have (not hoarding it) with as many as possible.Revelation 12:11 is in many ways the key to understanding the central message of the book of Revelation.Further study Remember that detailed chapter notes are available for every chapter in Revelation in the NT series.
