False Prophet Revealed (audio) David Eells – 4/13/25 Who is the False Prophet and how may we identify him? Experience and the Word have taught me concerning prophecy that if the majority of God's people believe something, it must be wrong. God hides His truths in dreams or visions that are parables so that the false prophets and carnal Christians cannot see them. Let's read Mat 13:10-13 And the disciples came, and said unto him, Why speakest thou unto them in parables? 11 And he answered and said unto them, Unto you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given. 12 For whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have abundance: but whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that which he hath. 13 Therefore speak I to them in parables; because seeing they see not, and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand. But privately He explains them to His disciples Mar 4:33-34 And with many such parables spake he the word unto them, as they were able to hear it; 34 and without a parable spake he not unto them: but privately to his own disciples he expounded all things. He hides things from the wise and understanding (of this apostate religious system) and reveals them to babes. Luk 10:21 In that same hour he rejoiced in the Holy Spirit, and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that thou didst hide these things from the wise and understanding, and didst reveal them unto babes: yea, Father; for so it was well-pleasing in thy sight. Notice that “disciples”, meaning, learners and followers, get to partake of the hidden manna. Rev 2:17 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches. To him that overcometh, to him will I give of the hidden manna, and I will give him a white stone, and upon the stone a new name written, which no one knoweth but he that receiveth it. And Pro 25:2 It is the glory of God to conceal a thing; But the glory of kings is to search out a matter. John's Revelation was given to him as a parable of Jesus. If it were literal, the false prophets would know what is going to happen and that is contrary to Jesus' own words. When the disciples were young and under the law they did not recognize the false prophets. As a matter of fact, they respected them! And so it is today! I want to show you who have eyes and ears, who the false prophet is and what his work is. The False Prophet is a corporate body of religious leaders that, to the trained eye resemble those of Jesus' day. In all of Jesus, Peter, and John's writings outside of the Book of Revelation, the warning is that false prophets (plural) would come. In Revelation, false prophet (singular) is used, but in an allegory. Since Jesus said in the end time that Mat 24:14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in the whole world for a testimony unto all the nations; …  We read that many false prophets shall arise; verse 11 And many false prophets shall arise, and shall lead many astray. And verse 24 For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall show great signs and wonders; so as to lead astray, if possible, even the elect. Then the false prophet in Revelation is a symbol of a corporate body like the rest of the characters in Revelation are; the beast, the woman, the harlot, the bride, etc. It's the only way that Jesus and John can both be right. You might say, “David, aren't you sharing the secrets with the false prophets?” Have no fear; they are too proud to admit they have passed on the lie of the traditions of men and repent. Moses prophesied the coming of the true prophet and the false prophet. Deu 18:15-22 Jehovah thy God will raise up unto thee a prophet from the midst of thee, of thy brethren, like unto me; unto him ye shall hearken; 16 according to all that thou desiredst of Jehovah thy God in Horeb in the day of the assembly, saying, Let me not hear again the voice of Jehovah my God, neither let me see this great fire any more, that I die not. 17 And Jehovah said unto me, They have well said that which they have spoken. 18 I will raise them up a prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee; and I will put my words in his mouth, and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him. 19 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever will not hearken unto my words which he shall speak in my name, I will require it of him. 20 But the prophet, that shall speak a word presumptuously in my name, which I have not commanded him to speak, or that shall speak in the name of other gods, that same prophet shall die. 21 And if thou say in thy heart, How shall we know the word which Jehovah hath not spoken? 22 when a prophet speaketh in the name of Jehovah, if the thing follow not, nor come to pass, that is the thing which Jehovah hath not spoken: the prophet hath spoken it presumptuously, thou shalt not be afraid of him. The true Prophet of course, is the Son of God Jesus Christ. He is the Spirit that is in His true corporate body. (1Co 15:45 So also it is written, The first man Adam became a living soul. The last Adam became a life-giving spirit.) He is the head of His body the Church which is female (Eph 5:23 For the husband is the head of the wife, as Christ also is the head of the church, being himself the saviour of the body.). Jesus' headship is manifest physically through the 5-fold ministry (Eph 4:11 And he gave some to be apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;). The senses of the head correspond to the ministers. For example: the prophets are the eyes (Isa 29:10 For Jehovah hath poured out upon you the spirit of deep sleep, and hath closed your eyes, the prophets; and your heads, the seers, hath he covered.) – Evangelists are the mouth (the ministry to those outside of the body), Teachers are the ears (1Ki 3:9 Give thy servant therefore an understanding heart to judge thy people, that I may discern between good and evil; for who is able to judge this thy great people? 12 behold, I have done according to thy word: lo, I have given thee a wise and an understanding heart;) “Understanding” here is the Hebrew word for “hearing”. Soloman heard answers from the Lord.  (1Ki 10:3 And Solomon told her all her questions: there was not anything hid from the king which he told her not.). It takes the 5-fold ministry to raise up others into the head (Eph 4:15 but speaking truth in love, may grow up in all things into him, who is the head, even Christ;). We can see a false headship in these days because of the Nicolaitan error which Jesus hates according to (Rev 2:6 But this thou hast, that thou hatest the works of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate., and verse 15 So hast thou also some that hold the teaching of the Nicolaitans in like manner.) That false headship is that the pastor usurps the authority of the rest of the 5-fold ministry to be the head of the church. The Spirit of Christ is manifest through the 5-fold ministry to lead His body, the church. So also the spirit of antichrist is identified in (1Jn 4:3 and every spirit that confesseth not Jesus is not of God: and this is the spirit of the antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it cometh; and now it is in the world already.). This spirit is manifested through men as a false prophet to lead his body the harlot. The false prophet also has a female body, the corporate harlot, who receives not the seed of the true husband. These do not confess Jesus, the Word, which was given in the beginning. Confess here is a word meaning “to speak the same as”. The false prophet body cannot say what Jesus said. Christ sows His seed, which is the true Word, as we read in His parable in Mat 13:18-23 Hear then ye the parable of the sower. 19 When any one heareth the word of the kingdom, and understandeth it not, then cometh the evil one, and snatcheth away that which hath been sown in his heart. This is he that was sown by the way side. 20 And he that was sown upon the rocky places, this is he that heareth the word, and straightway with joy receiveth it; 21 yet hath he not root in himself, but endureth for a while; and when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word, straightway he stumbleth. 22 And he that was sown among the thorns, this is he that heareth the word; and the care of the world, and the deceitfulness of riches, choke the word, and he becometh unfruitful. 23 And he that was sown upon the good ground, this is he that heareth the word, and understandeth it; who verily beareth fruit, and bringeth forth, some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.) The true Prophet, Jesus, always sows the Word. The false prophet cannot confess Him. In Rev 13:11 And I saw another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like unto a lamb, and he spake as a dragon. Here we see a false lamb who speaks for the dragon. We see the head of the false prophet with two horns like unto a lamb, and he spake as the dragon beast. Also in verse 5 and there was given to him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies (meaning, to speak against); and there was given to him authority to continue forty and two months. In verse 15, we see the body (harlot) of the false prophet. Rev 13:15 NENT And it was given to her to give a spirit to the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak and cause that as many as should not worship the image of the beast should be killed. Bible Numerics shows a perfect pattern for “her” in the ancient manuscripts and in the most accurate New Testament, the Numeric English New Testament by Ivan Panin. There is no pattern in “he” or “it”. Numerics show beyond a shadow of a doubt which manuscript is right and where. As the harlot of Judaism caused Jesus to be crucified, so will the harlot of Christianity cause His body to be crucified. Let me show this another way. In 1Ki 18, Ahab represents the beast with ten horns, for he ruled over the apostate ten tribes, who worshiped the image of the beast (the golden calf). Ahab's wife, Jezebel, killed the saints and prophets. Compare this for relationship in Rev 17:1-3 …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. There she is ruling by the ten horned beast again.) Jezebel is a clear type of the harlot in (Rev 2:20 But I have this against thee, that thou sufferest the woman Jezebel, who calleth herself a prophetess; and she teacheth and seduceth my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed to idols.) She, like the harlot, was guilty of the blood of the prophets and of the saints. (1Ki 18:4 for it was so, when Jezebel cut off the prophets of Jehovah, that Obadiah took a hundred prophets, and hid them by fifty in a cave, and fed them with bread and water.) (2K 9:7)(Rev 18:24) In Rev 17:16 when the Beast is through using the harlot, he devours her. Rev 17:16 And the ten horns which thou sawest, and the beast, these shall hate the harlot, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and shall burn her utterly with fire. And so it is with Jezebel in (1Ki 21:23 And of Jezebel also spake Jehovah, saying, The dogs shall eat Jezebel by the rampart of Jezreel.). The true ministers of God are fed at the Churches table (1 Cor 9:13,14) and the false prophets (corporately the false prophet) are fed from Jezebel's table (1Ki 18:19 Now therefore send, and gather to me all Israel unto mount Carmel, and the prophets of Baal four hundred and fifty, and the prophets of the Asherah four hundred, that eat at Jezebel's table.). The false prophets of Baal and the false prophets of the Asherah represent the two horns of the false prophet in Rev 13:11 And I saw another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like unto a lamb, and he spake as a dragon. Find out who the two horns of Baal and Asherah represent in modern times, and you will know who the corporate false prophet is. These two go back to the tower of Babel and were originally Nimrod in (Gen 10:8-10) and his wife Semiramis, the false virgin Asherah. When Nimrod died and Semiramis became pregnant claiming that Nimrod had become the Sun God, Baal, who then by virgin birth was reborn as her son, Tammuz, the false son of God. Then of course, the Babylonian worshiped the false Father, Son and Virgin about 2,300 years before the true Virgin birth. Semiramis probably knew of the prophecy in Gen 3:15 concerning the virgin birth. This false scenario is still worshipped in Catholic and Eastern Orthodox Churches. At the dispersion at Babel this legend went throughout the World and these three were given different names in different cultures, many of which are in the Bible. The golden calf in Egypt was a symbol of the Father (Baal) in the Son. Pharaoh's title meant Great Temple of the Sun God. Sun images all over the world and in Catholic and Eastern Orthodox Churches symbolize the false Son. The Israelites, with their golden calf thought they were worshiping “YHWH” or “Elohim”, the true God, but it was Baal. One horn, the 450 prophets of Baal represent those who teach another Jesus. This is the apostate protestant ministers. The other horn is the 400 prophets of the Asherah or those who worship the virgin. This is the Catholic, Greek Orthodox, Russian Orthodox, Eastern Orthodox, and many others that are into Mariolatry. Mary is my sister and I love her but she is not the mother of God according to (Rom 1:3) concerning his Son, who was born of the seed of David according to the flesh, (In Genesis Jesus was called the “seed of the woman”, who was Mary, the seed of David.) 4  who was declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead; even Jesus Christ our Lord. Here we see Mary is the mother of Jesus' flesh, which is “Son of Man”. His spiritual man was “Son of God” (Verse 4) and born of God. John 3:6 says, “that which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit”. The false prophet has always been the head of the harlot, and she sitteth (present tense) on 5 world empires that are fallen but still present in Rev 17:10. These were never Christian: Egypt, Assyria, Babylon, Media Persia, and Greece. The corporate leadership of all false Christian religions is the false prophet. Emperor Constantine was head of the early Roman Empire or beast as Daniel 7:7 describes it. Rome was the great beast devouring all the beasts before it (Dan.7:23). Much like the world is today, his kingdom was divided because of much religious faction. Because of Babel there were, to the untrained eye, similarities between the pagan religions and Christianity. In order to unite his empire, Constantine decided to capitalize on these similarities and merge paganism with Christianity. Through the temptations of bribery and power, the backslidden leadership of Christianity gave in. Constantine gathered together at his round table religious leaders of every sect and gave them a position of authority. This corporate false prophet was to advise him and exercise authority over his religious empire. He presided over their councils and put down individual theological differences for the sake of unity. “That which hath been is that which shall be” (Ecc 1:9). Our modern-day revival of the Roman beast, the United Nations, has within its body the whole earth (Dan 7:23) and is doing exactly what Constantine did to unite the earth. The “World Conference on Religion and Peace” was a gathering together under the U.N. of all sects of religious leaders from all over the world to bring unity to religion and hopefully the world. This corporate false prophet with the authority of the U.N. has created a corporate one world religion called the United Religions (the U.R.). Once, when I was teaching on the false prophet several years ago, a brother came into the meeting who had just received a confirming dream. Let me share that with you. Mark W. Dream  (David's notes) I went to church and to the altar to get delivered from smoking. There were many people up front. I knew that the pastor was walking toward me to get away from someone who smelled like smoke, and I thought, “I hope he doesn't come down here because I smell like smoke too”. Just then, my sister came to me very happy and said, “Oh, it's OK now, look over there.” I looked over and saw this man light up a cigarette. There were some booths and a sign that read “smoking section”. People said, “You don't have to quit because now we can smoke in church”. I said, “No, I want to quit smoking.” (Spiritually, smoking is to partake of an unclean spirit because “breath” and “spirit” come from the same word in the Old Testament and in the New Testament. Smoke is an unclean breath. “Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great, and is become a habitation of demons, and a prison [booths] of every unclean spirit...” Rev.18:2) Then the scene changed, and I saw on TV that everyone was rejoicing because a great agreement had been made to have “one church”. I saw that the agreement was two stacks of paper (two horns of the false prophet), but nothing was written on them. (This is a sign that everyone will drop their doctrinal demands, which in the case of Christians is truth, in order to have unity - Jude 3,4). Then I went to this extremely big church. I couldn't even see the other end of it (This is the U.N. corporate apostate church). I happened to open the wrong door, and I saw inside a giant ministers' conference. (The corporate False Prophet) They were being shown a film on how to scan barcodes on the foreheads of their congregation with a beam of light without them knowing it. (The spiritual mark of the beast given by the false prophet abusing the light of the word.) More interpretation: This is the corporate two horned false prophet who makes merchandise of the people of God (2 Pet 2:1-3) and the Word of God (2 Cor 2:17 in Greek) and marks those belonging to the Beast in their foreheads (or minds Rom 8:5-6, Rev 13:16). Remember in Jesus' day, the “respectable” religious folks who walked after the mind of the flesh cast their vote against him. They were followers of a “respectable” group of ministers who gave them that mind using the light of the word. Remember that 10 out of the 12 tribes and their ministers worshiped the beast (golden calf) and had his mark in their foreheads (mind) and hand (works). The false prophets are the ones who war against this Word the most. It's an honor to have these against me as they were against my Lord Jesus. They protect their prestige, authority, position, and bank account. Draw close to God and His Word so you may be able to recognize them. Daniel 3:4,5 says, “Then the herald cried...peoples, nations, languages... fall down and worship the golden image (of the beast).” This word, “herald” is the only Greek word in the text at a time before Greek became a world language. It is the same word used in the New Testament for preacher. The command to worship the image (Rev 13:14,15) will come from the pulpits in the form of a deception so strong that, “if possible, even the elect would be deceived” (Mat 24:24). If the truth weren't hidden in the parable of Revelation, there would be no strong delusion. In Daniel 3:7, all worshipped the image, even the Israelites except Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. These three wouldn't bow because they wouldn't eat of the beast's food (word) and wine (nature) and be defiled (Dan 1:5-16). If you receive the word and nature of a Babylonish false prophet, you too will be defiled and bow down (Mat 15:6-20). In Constantine's court, there sat the senate of secular rulers over the countries under his control. These foreshadowed the ten horns in Daniel's vision of the end time Roman Empire (Dan 7:7). The ten horns that thou sawest are ten kings (end time secular rulers), who have received no kingdoms as yet, but they receive authority as kings, with the beast for one hour (Rev 17:12). The horn represents power for it is the weapon of the beast. A king without his kingdom has no power. These kings gave their kingdoms to the beast in (Rev 17:17). From among these kingdoms in Constantine's day arose the religious rulers. They were different, for they were a corporate body of religious leaders from among all the kingdoms. This is exactly what Dan 7:8,24) says. The little horn came “up among” the ten and was “different from the former” because he was a corporate religious body among leaders of corporate secular bodies. Now, the little horn is the false prophet of Rev 13 is easy to see because it had eyes (Dan 7:20), which makes it a prophet (Isa 29:10). He had “a mouth that spake great things” (Dan 7:20) and made war on the saints (verse 21). This identifies the false prophet who was given to the beast in Rev 13:5-7 for the false prophet is the beast's mouth to religious people. In Jesus and Constantine's time, the corporate false prophet kept the people in line for the beast (Rome) because of the threat of loss of position (John 11:47,48). It was this corporate false prophet who was guilty of the blood of Jesus, the Apostles and prophets (Mat 23:29-36). Pilot, representing the Roman beast, did not want to kill Jesus. This is the way it will be in our day. The false prophet Sanhedrin was afraid the Romans would come and take away their position if they didn't put down the Jesus rebellion. Another type of the little horn was Antiochus Epiphanes in 175-164 B.C.. He came up among the horns of the division of Alexander the Great's kingdom and was king of Syria, which means “lifted up”. I emphasize that this king of the “lifted up” was a type because many believe that the history of his acts in Daniel are literally speaking of the end-time antichrist. Daniel prophesies what is clearly now history in chapters 8:9-14, 23-26 and 11:21-39 regarding Antiochus, but he is also a type and shadow of what is to come. His compelling interest was to subject God's people to himself, much like the false prophets of today. He “magnified himself” (Dan 8:25) above all the gods of the Harlot and “the one desired of women” (Dan 11:37) - Jesus was desired of seven women who are the church in Rev 1:11. Isa 4:1  And seven women (the Church) shall take hold of one man (Jesus) in that day, saying, We will eat our own bread, and wear our own apparel: only let us be called by thy name (In their rebellion against the Word, they still wanted to be called Christians.); take thou away our reproach. The false prophet, Antiochus deposed the Jewish high priest Onias 3 and usurped his place. Many today usurp the position of Jesus as head. If you permit a person to exalt themselves or their teaching above Jesus and the Scriptures, they become to you a false prophet. He will even use the Word to paint an image in your mind of a false Jesus (2 Cor 3:18), which is none other than the image of the beast (spoken of later). Antiochus, in his position as “lord of God's heritage” then sacrificed a son on the altar and sprinkled the Holy Place with the swine's broth. He cast down many of God's people and caused them to lose their position in the heavenlies like the end time saints (Dan 8:10, Epe 2:6, Rev 6:13). He took away the continual burnt offering (Dan 8:11, 11:31) in the end time will be in the middle of the tribulation or seventieth week of Daniel when the mark is given. (Dan 9:27). We are the sanctuary or temple of God (1 Cor 3:17). Our old life is the continual burnt offering (Rom 12:1) as we take up our cross and follow Jesus and lose our old life (Mat 16:24,25). It is a burnt offering because in the midst of the fiery trial (1 Pet 4:12, Mat 3:11,12) when we obey God, the flesh burns up (2 Cor 4:16,17). If we walk after the mind of the flesh and take the mark, the burnt offering ceases (Dan 8:12). We are to be as gold and silver refined in the fire by burning up the impurities of flesh - Mal 3:2,3. Many will follow the example of Antiochus and sacrifice the Son. Heb 10:29 of how much sorer punishment, think ye, shall he be judged worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God.  They follow the false prophets and are defiled, turning back to their sins (2 Pet 2:1-3, 18-22). These are they who give up their life of sacrificing their flesh in the fiery trial in the middle of the tribulation and take the mark of the beast (Rev 13:5-7, 16-18 and Dan 9:27), having been deceived by the false prophets. If you allow the false prophets to identify the mark of the beast and the image, you will not be able to see it when it comes. The Pharisees and Sadducees could not identify the true Image of God, Jesus Christ. What makes you think that they could today? It is not the visible Image and Mark of the beast that you should fear, but the invisible. This is how it can be a deception. Any physical mark can only be put on one who has the spiritual mark already. It will identify these people as members of the body of the beast. Antiochus also set up a statue of Jupiter in the Holy of Holies. He, like the little horn of Ahab's day, Jesus' day, Constantine's day, and the U.R. of our day, gives to the people a false Image of God. Even among Christians, you will notice there are different ideas about who Jesus is, what His nature is, what His teaching is, and what His attitude is toward us. Much of this leads people to worship another Jesus, which is an abomination. Become familiar with the Jesus of the Bible, the true Image of God (Heb 1:3, Jn 1:1). The tip of the little horn starts in the leadership of the U.R., but like Mark W.'s dream, it shows that it goes all the way down to the man in the pulpit. All of them together are the false prophet, the head of the harlot. “Be not many of you teachers, my brother, knowing that we shall receive the heavier judgment” (James 3:1). Now, I'd like to share a few more revelations with you that reveal the end-time false prophet.   War, False Prophet, Harlot, Mark, War Below are two dreams on these subjects East and West War in the Middle East Bill Steenland - 11/14/2014 (David's notes in red) I dreamed there was a lion and a white tiger fighting one another very fiercely with a lot of back and forth, while rolling around on the ground. (I think the white tiger represents Russia, Iran, India, and China [Eastern nations] going to war with the “lion” [Britain, America, Australia, Canada, Europe and NATO].) (The lion with eagle's wings in Daniel is Britain and her lion cubs with the US and its air power. Siberia is part of Russia. The white Siberian tiger represents Russia.) (I was watching Putin in this video, and the Lord said to me, “The white tiger!” Why hadn't I seen it before? We are really seeing the fulfillment of this dream now. This topic is huge in the book Hidden Manna for the End Times, now that I think about it. We are really seeing the posturing and coming war that is shown in that dream now, with all the lines being drawn in the sand over Europe and Asia. (Ultimately this war that the Deep State has tied to start many times, to distract from their evil, will come to pass but I for one have fought for peace.) As the lion and the tiger fought, the scenery and the settings were changing. It was as if they were rolling back and forth in the Middle East from the mountains to the desert to more mountains, back to a dry parched setting like a desert and then a combination of the two. It was as if they were rolling around, fighting each other across the whole Middle East. This is the strange part: There was a black car following them everywhere they went. (This is the Satanic Deep State powers that be, the banksters, with money invested on both sides of the war, as always.) All I knew was that they were in the Middle East and that it was a huge power struggle for territory. At the end of the dream, I saw a black man in full-blown black Masonic attire with a black plate that had a golden pyramid on it. (D.S. Masonic powers that be.) The eye was not floating over the pyramid. It was one that has always represented Lucifer (The antichrist spirit who will once again rise up in Revelation 13 and control the Beast and finally bring their war between East and West to make money off of both.). (Masonic agenda is unfolding; their god Lucifer is the “all-seeing eye” over the Beast one world government.) The black plate was hanging on his chest (the breath/spirit/demons of the Beast). He was standing in the middle of these two fighting animals as they fought, but he was much bigger than the cats. He was kicking his toes into the ground on each side, as if one foot or toes was the lion and the other foot was the tiger. He would kick his toes into the ground one at a time toward the other foot. (End-time fulfillment of the 10 kingdoms from Daniel 2, known as Nebuchadnezzar's image or dream.) (The two feet of the image of the Beast in Daniel's revelation are the end-time Eastern Roman Empire, which Russia is the head of, and Western Roman Empire, which the US is the head of. The clay is nations that were not a part of the original Roman Empire seed, typed by the iron. This Roman Empire is the sixth head that was smitten unto death which is revived. Satan and his earthly representatives, the Deep State powers that be, are kicking their pawns back and forth in the Middle East. The pawns of the U.S. and Russia have also always had their pawn nations that they prefer to fight through, supplying weapons, logistics, trainers, etc., so that they are not personally drawn into a nuclear world war. [Although nukes may be used in this war, it is not the full-scale nuclear war that will come at the end of the tribulation, as seen in Bill's other dream below.] They have engaged in this covert warfare for many years, and it will continue because it makes money for the powers that be and decreases populations, plus it keeps the nations under control. I would say the big black man is the world Antichrist Beast ruled by Satan.) Dan.2:40 And the fourth kingdom shall be strong as iron, forasmuch as iron breaketh in pieces and subdueth all things; and as iron that crusheth all these, shall it break in pieces and crush. 41 And whereas thou sawest the feet and toes, part of potters' clay, and part of iron, it shall be a divided kingdom; but there shall be in it of the strength of the iron, forasmuch as thou sawest the iron mixed with miry clay. 42 And as the toes of the feet were part of iron, and part of clay, so the kingdom shall be partly strong, and partly broken. 43 And whereas thou sawest the iron mixed with miry clay, they shall mingle themselves with the seed of men; but they shall not cleave one to another, even as iron doth not mingle with clay. (Islam is invading the nations by the DS to bring division.) 44 And in the days of those kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom which shall never be destroyed, nor shall the sovereignty thereof be left to another people; but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever. (This begins with the Man-child reformers.) 45 Forasmuch as thou sawest that a stone was cut out of the mountain without hands, and that it brake in pieces the iron, the brass, the clay, the silver, and the gold; the great God hath made known to the king what shall come to pass hereafter: and the dream is certain, and the interpretation thereof sure. In the dream, I knew the black man over the big cats was Tiger Woods, the pro-golfer. (Tiger has a family heritage from many nations and represents the world beast like the Dan 2 vision of the world beast.) He is like the melting pot of nations and religions melted into one. Tiger Woods spent most of his life standing on grass, playing golf. (This war of back and forth is like a golf game to them. Life is cheap.) Here are a few details from Wikipedia about his multinational family tree: Woods was born in Cypress, California, to Earl (1932-2006) and Kultida (Tida) Woods (born 1944). He is the only child of their marriage; however, he does have two half-brothers, Earl Jr. (born 1955) and Kevin (born 1957), and a half-sister, Royce (born 1958), from the 18-year marriage of Earl Woods and his first wife, Barbara Woods Gray[14]. Earl, a retired lieutenant colonel and Vietnam War veteran, was of mostly African American, as well as Caucasian, and possible Native American and Chinese, ancestry[15]. Kultida (née Punsawad), originally from Thailand (where Earl had met her on a tour of duty in 1968), is of mixed Thai, Chinese, and Dutch ancestry[16]. He refers to his ethnic make-up as “Cablinasian” (a syllabic abbreviation he coined from Caucasian, Black, American Indian, and Asian).[17]. Woods' first name, Eldrick, was coined by his mother because it began with “E” (for Earl) and ended with “K” (for Kultida). His middle name Tont is a traditional Thai name. He was nicknamed Tiger in honor of his father's friend, Col. Vuong Dang Phong, who had also been known as Tiger.[18]. The name Eldrick is an English baby name. In English, the meaning of the name Eldrick is “old/wise ruler”.   False Prophet, Harlot, Mark, Nuclear War Bill Steenland - 06/22/2015 (David's notes in red) The dream started off where I was in a big city, like New York or Philly. I had a large white tablet in my hands. There were two guys who were working on it, but we were talking about the mark of the Beast. The guy was talking about the basics of where it goes and so on. The second man was sitting on the step. He had a really faraway look on his face, like he had spent a long time looking at the physical properties of the mark. He sat down on the step and just kept saying, “It's so much more than a mark”, over and over. Then he said, “Calling it just a 'mark' doesn't do it justice. It's much more than that”. (I found out later in that dream the mark will have currency on it as an incentive to take it after a total global economic meltdown.) I looked back at the tablet. I knew that in the dream, when I looked down at the tablet, I could see anything I wanted to or any place I wanted to and that I could be there by looking at this tablet. (It means the Word of God written upon the tablet of our hearts, which gives spiritual insight and discernment. 2Co.3:2 Ye are our epistle, written in our hearts, known and read of all men; 3 being made manifest that ye are an epistle of Christ, ministered by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tables of stone, but in tables that are hearts of flesh. Maybe that is why when I looked at the tablet later in the dream, I could see future events and see into the spiritual realm. 1Co.2:10 But unto us God revealed them through the Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.) I was watching a video of a beach as I walked around with the tablet. Then I found myself there on the beach at a resort. I was walking around this beach next to the resort. (Fellowshipping with Abraham's seed, the children of faith. God told Abraham that his children would be as the sands of the sea. Heb.11:11 By faith even Sarah herself received power to conceive seed when she was past age, since she counted him faithful who had promised: 12 wherefore also there sprang of one, and him as good as dead, so many as the stars of heaven in multitude, and as the sand, which is by the sea-shore, innumerable. Rom.4:11 and he received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith which he had while he was in uncircumcision; that he might be the father of all them that believe, though they be in uncircumcision, that righteousness might be reckoned unto them.) (The promised seed, the Man-child Isaac, would bring forth the great multitude of fruit, just like in these end times.) While I was walking around, I saw an old friend whom I knew was caught up in confusion, walking around, too. In the dream, I knew that I had a room at this beach resort. I went to my room and relaxed on my bed (representing resting in the promises of God). I pulled out the tablet and I saw a picture of Benny Hinn. He was wearing a red shirt. (Red represents sin, as in the “man of sin”: 1 John 3:4,10.) (Isa.1:18 Come now, and let us reason together, saith Jehovah: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.) He looked very effeminate; there was make-up on his face (I.e. what you see is not what you get) and he had his arms out, as if to present something. I noticed there was a witchcraft book in front of him. (1Sa.15:23 For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as idolatry and teraphim. Because thou hast rejected the word of Jehovah, he hath also rejected thee from being king.) 1Co.10:20 But I say, that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to demons, and not to God: and I would not that ye should have communion with demons. 21 Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of demons: ye cannot partake of the table of the Lord, and of the table of demons. There was a table with a whole bunch of objects in front of him that were being used in witchcraft to send curses. (Those infected with Kundalini and who practice false signs and lying wonders are sent out to deceive God's people. God is the one allowing it. 2Th.2:7 For the mystery of lawlessness doth already work: only there is one that restraineth now, until he be taken out of the way. 8 And then shall be revealed the lawless one, whom the Lord Jesus shall slay with the breath of his mouth, and bring to nought by the manifestation of his coming; 9 even he, whose coming is according to the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, 10 and with all deceit of unrighteousness for them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. Jesus warned of false leaders. Mat.24:24 For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall show great signs and wonders; so as to lead astray, if possible, even the elect. The word for “false Christ” is pseudochristos or false anointings. (When God does signs because of the faith of His people but the signs do not confirm the life and word of the minister, they are false signs and lying wonders: Mar.16:20 And they went forth, and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word by the signs that followed. Amen. Deu.13:1 If there arise in the midst of thee a prophet, or a dreamer of dreams, and he give thee a sign or a wonder, 2 and the sign or the wonder come to pass, whereof he spake unto thee, saying, Let us go after other gods (another Elohim or Jesus'), which thou hast not known, and let us serve them; 3 thou shalt not hearken unto the words of that prophet, or unto that dreamer of dreams: for Jehovah your God proveth you, to know whether ye love Jehovah your God with all your heart and with all your soul.) They have another Jesus because they received another Word and another spirit. This scripture explains why he was performing witchcraft in the dream: Gal.1:7 which is not another gospel only there are some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ. 8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, should preach unto you any gospel other than that which we preached unto you, let him be anathema. 9 As we have said before, so say I now again, if any man preacheth unto you any gospel other than that which ye received, let him be anathema (accursed). When people receive another Word, they can receive this working of error mentioned in 2 Thessalonians 3:9-11. Kundalini is a huge working of error that the Harlot Church is going under. Like in the dream, they say they serve God but are in rebellion and witchcraft. When people pray and fellowship with people who are serving these Kundalini spirits, they open themselves up to this working of error because, frankly, they are praying with a witch, and they get slimed with this curse from Galatians that they are under. Here is a call of God to leave these false teachers and churches: Isa.2:5 O house of Jacob, come ye, and let us walk in the light of Jehovah. 6 For thou hast forsaken thy people the house of Jacob, because they are filled with customs from the east, and are soothsayers like the Philistines (Kundalini has been named the false prophetic movement for good reason), and they strike hands with the children of foreigners. (They have joined the Eastern religions through Kundalini spirits.) 7 And their land is full of silver and gold (Benny Hinn is reportedly worth $60 million. (Somebody is not eating while these kind surfeit and care not for the needs of others. Ecc.5:11 When goods increase, they are increased that eat them; and what advantage is there to the owner thereof, save the beholding of them with his eyes? Isa.56:11 Yea, the dogs are greedy, they can never have enough; and these are shepherds that cannot understand: they have all turned to their own way, each one to his gain, from every quarter.), neither is there any end of their treasures (prosperity message); their land also is full of horses, neither is there any end of their chariots. (His Rolls-Royce and private jets.) 8 Their land also is full of idols; they worship the work of their own hands. (This type builds a false temple made with man's hands, which God says He does not inhabit. Act.17:24 The God that made the world and all things therein, he, being Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands.) Isa.10:1 Woe unto them that decree unrighteous decrees, and to the writers that write perverseness; 2 to turn aside the needy from justice, and to rob the poor of my people of their right that widows may be their spoil (Their ministries are funded by the poor and the fatherless whom they rob. Benny has promised to these poor people that if they give him $1000, God will multiply it. (When God is teaching His children to give, He may honor their faith but not a greedy leader.), and that they may make the fatherless their prey! (Those who have no true spiritual fathers but are hirelings.) 3 And what will ye do in the day of visitation, and in the desolation which shall come from far? to whom will ye flee for help? and where will ye leave your glory? (What will they do when the Lord comes manifested in the Man-child ministry to bring justice?) Back to Bill's dream: There was a book on the table in front of him. As I looked at the book, I heard a news broadcast in the background. The female broadcaster said these words: “Benny Hinn has a new social media program to join,” like Alex Jones has, and another name that was mentioned but was blanked out. (I believe it was a reference to Facebook. I believe these social media programs are the hive mentality of corporate bodies of people who are under the deception of certain spirits. For instance, Facebook is vanity and self-promotion. Benny is obviously Kundalini and the Harlot Church. As I looked at the book, I heard the famous singer Katy Perry singing these lyrics: “I hear that the mark of the Beast is coming and I want one”. (Katy is a perfect symbol of the Harlot Church who will take the mark of the Beast. She is also being used as a type of the Harlot spirit that cause the falling away and, finally, the mark of the Beast.) 1Ti.4:1 But the Spirit saith expressly, that in later times some shall fall away from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits and doctrines of demons. (The Feast of Unleavened Bread in Exodus 12 was for seven days, representing the tribulation. Anyone who ate leaven during that time was cut off from the people of God, so we must come out from them now. This will be a great falling away of the people who are cut off.) Next, there were two aliens in my room. They were demons. I knew in the dream that the Harlot Church who rides the Beast was rolling out another deception: aliens. I immediately turned the tablet off, and the demons left. Then I had an open vision while there on my bed. I was looking at a world destroyed by a nuclear war with Russia and a total global economic collapse. (The war between East and West is bound to end this way.) Joe.2:30 And I will show wonders in the heavens and in the earth: blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke. The pillars of smoke mentioned in Joel could be the mushroom cloud pillars of nuclear war. That word “pillar” can also be translated as “column” that could stretch from the earth to the heavens, literally. I was looking at a soldier and a young boy of about 14 years old. The sun was not giving its light, like the scriptures mention. I saw the boy with the mark of the Beast in his hand; it was glowing in the dark while in his hand. It was slightly curved in shape, like a banana. (Representing the fruit of the wicked? A crescent shape?) It was glowing green and yellow. The boy was thinking the following words in his head, and I heard them very clearly. As he looked up at a totally destroyed world, he thought, “We don't ever have to worry; we are safe. The government knows where we are at all times and will be here shortly to help us”. (Notice he had the mark before the nuclear war came and he was programmed to trust in Antichrist.) Rev.13:16 And he causeth all, the small and the great, and the rich and the poor, and the free and the bond, that there be given them a mark on their right hand, or upon their forehead; 17 and that no man should be able to buy or to sell, save he that hath the mark (In the dream, I knew that this mark had electronic currency on it.), even the name of the beast or the number of his name. 18 Here is wisdom. He that hath understanding, let him count the number of the beast; for it is the number of a man: and his number is Six hundred and sixty and six. (We who refuse the mark will be in the wilderness with God our supplier.) Dan.9:27 And he shall make a firm covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease; and upon the wing (or pinnacle) of abominations shall come one (abomination = the mark) that maketh (them) desolate; and even unto the full end, and that determined, shall wrath be poured out upon the desolate. (In the midst of the week, many so-called Christians will take the mark as sons of perdition in the temple of God's people. This mark is an abomination that makes them desolate, which means devoid of God.) As I watched the boy, I knew that people would take the mark for many reasons, but one reason is that there will be currency given to the recipient so he can survive. I came out of the vision and said to myself, “I need to find my old friend”. I knew in this dream that there were a lot of people who needed to hear this warning: Rev.18:4 And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come forth, my people, out of her, that ye have no fellowship with her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues: 5 for her sins have reached even unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities. And 2Co.6:15 And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what portion hath a believer with an unbeliever? 16 And what agreement hath a temple of God with idols? for we are a temple of the living God; even as God said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. 17 Wherefore Come ye out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, And touch no unclean thing; And I will receive you, 18 And will be to you a Father, And ye shall be to me sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.   False Prophets Revealed Rex Veron - 11/29/2004 (David's notes in red) I believe this is an end-time dream. (This dream is as seen from God's perspective of the false prophets who have put on their deceptive show to deceive the people as to their true nature and false teaching.) I saw a mouse standing in front of a medium-sized congregation, preaching and teaching. It stood up on its hind legs and was the size of a small terrier dog; it had the face of a man. The face was nondescript and no one I knew. (The false prophets standing in the pulpits of God's people are indeed very small in spiritual stature and the vilest of beasts attempting to depict themselves as men of God. As in a plague, they are the carriers of spiritual disease that have brought spiritual and physical death to multitudes.) It had a red broad brimmed hat with little gold tassels hanging from the brim. (They attempt to glorify their own thinking, but underneath is still hidden the brain of a spiritual mouse. The red color here is an attempt to appear to have blood-washed thinking but instead, it is sinful thinking. Isa.1:18 Come now, and let us reason together, saith Jehovah: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.) It wore a red vest with some tassels hanging from the edge. (They attempt to glorify their own heart, which is not covered by the blood but the sin of the fallen nature. Underneath their show is the heart of a spiritually small beast.) It wore red pants with tassels hanging from the bottom of the pant legs. He had jester-type shoes with a little gold bell on each end of the toe curl. (They love to bring attention to their walk by ringing their own bell when they put on a show to be seen of men. However, before God and those with understanding, they are seen as jesters who walk crooked as the curled toes depict.) It had a stubby tail like a bulldog with a gold cover on it that was flattened out and looked like a spoon upside down. (As unclean dogs, they are dung eaters and that which should be left behind, as Paul pointed out, and flushed is glorified by these apostates and fed to the people as doctrine.) The people kept saying, “We can't stand this any longer, he needs to be made to be quiet, get rid of him”. (When the people begin to awaken, they become dissatisfied with the religious show and want more of God and His Word to sustain them.) I went to the front, picked him up and took off his hat, his vest, his pants, and I started to put him down. (It is here that the true ministers are able to uncover the false thinking, heart and walk of these apostate leaders.) Then I heard a voice saying, “You must take his shoes off and the golden tail, as well. You cannot turn him loose with those on”. (It is necessary to also reveal the apostates' evil walk and despicably unclean doctrine that the righteous will forsake.) I then took his shoes and golden tail off and set him on the floor, and he vanished. (When the truth is revealed, they become nothing in the eyes of God's people, as their yoke is broken off of them.) Turning back to the people, they were quiet and at peace; nothing was said. While still dreaming, I thought the entire scene strange and was wondering about it when I heard, “Get up and write the dream down”. I awoke, wrote it down and meditated about it and then I went back to bed.   False Prophet & Son of Perdition G.C. - 12/2007 (David's notes in red) In this dream, I was watching a scene go down. There was a line of people shuffling forward toward a podium. There were two men at this podium: a father and a son. (In real life, I know them.) The father was dressed in full Masonic priest regalia and was wearing what seemed to be a pope-like hat. The son was on his left hand, and he was dressed like a normal person. Many who only see the letter of the parable in dreams would think this father to be the pope, but this is not how parables work. Like the pope is the “holy father” over the Catholic, meaning “universal” Church, so this father represents a corporate False Prophet over a world body of apostate religions. Many of these very visible leaders are also Masons. Judas, who was called the Son of Perdition, sold the body of Christ to the Sanhedrin, which was this corporate False Prophet in their day. Likewise a corporate Son of Perdition hidden in the body of Christ today will betray them. This way, both people in this parable represent a corporate body today. I watched in horror as the father was giving the mark of the beast to the people in line. (Rev.13:16) And he (the False Prophet) causeth all, the small and the great, and the rich and the poor, and the free and the bond, that there be given them a mark on their right hand, or upon their forehead.) As soon as the people received the mark they instantly transformed into a wild pig and leaped straight into a furnace off to the side of the podium. (2 Pet. 2:12) But these, as creatures without reason, born mere animals to be taken and destroyed. (Php.3:18) For many walk, of whom I told you often, and now tell you even weeping, [that they are] the enemies of the cross of Christ: 19 whose end is perdition, whose god is the belly (like wild pigs), and [whose] glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things (mark in the forehead). I considered what was taking place and tried to warn the people about the furnace (of the great and terrible day of the Lord and Hell itself), but they seemed not to take heed to what I was saying. They were willfully taking this mark as if under strong delusion. It was horrible. Note: Although in real life I worked for this father, he had NEVER called me before. All the business matters were usually handled through his son. After I woke from the dream, the father called me on the phone! He asked me to come to his office to have a meeting with him and his son. So that was a sure confirmation from the Lord. They are merely figures the Lord used to show me something in the dream. They own their own company and are in the business of buying and selling (Just like the “merchants of Babylon” who “make merchandise of you”). The father's name is ROLAND, meaning “renown throughout the land”. This reminds me of the men of renown or giants of old. We have giants today, too: the megachurch pastors of the apostate church. The son in real life is a lukewarm Christian who is given to drunkenness (which is spiritually like the Son of Perdition).   Discernment Delivers from False Prophets Jay N. - 06/09/2008 (David's notes in red) I dreamed I was in a class with several other students. We were in this big room which looked rather like a gymnasium, and I remember thinking and missing my friends from other classes, whom I remembered were now long gone away. David Eells was our teacher, and I was standing next to him. (A type of the David man-child reformers.) David was telling me that the previous night, there was a party at his next door neighbor's house and he didn't get much sleep. (God's people giving into lasciviousness have truly caused me some loss of sleep.) He was casually dressed, like a sports teacher or a trainer. (We have to train the people of God to get in shape for the contest to come.) Standing next to him, I could see his profile, and I noticed he was wearing a patch or a piece of wool over his nose, like he had a nose job, or even more, it looked to me like something he was wearing to filter the air he was breathing. (This nose filter represents the ability to discern good from evil. The nose gives discernment to the mind that is neither seen nor heard. Wool over the nose represents having the true clothing or actions of sheep, which filter out the false spirits, which is the meaning of “breath” in Hebrew.) The next thing I remember was a tall man entering the room, accompanied by a woman. (The tall man is seen in many dreams as the corporate false prophet and his companion is the harlot church.) They were dressed in suits and looked to me like teachers. The man came and was standing next to me, and I knew they were there to acquire some students for themselves. (They will seek through lasciviousness, meaning a license to excess, to draw aside disciples of Christ.) I tried to ignore him since I could tell what his intentions were, and then he pointed his finger at me. I looked around for David but couldn't see him. (We will face temptation alone.) I turned to the man and looked at his face for the first time. He was so tall, almost all the way up to the ceiling; I remember feeling the pain in my neck as I was struggling to look at his face. (His great size represents a corporate body of people.) He was nicely groomed, with curly hair and he had bright grey, watery eyes. (They tend to see things in grey, not black or white, as in wrong or right.) Being determined, I told him that I was not going with him because David was my teacher. As I was saying these words I was getting weak. I remember being hardly able to say that last word, “teacher”, but I succeeded. He looked shocked and very offended because obviously he had the authority to choose from the class as he liked, and he looked at the woman (harlot?) with disbelief. He looked back to me, trying to put some kind of smile on his angry face, and then I woke up. (The Sanskrit meaning for “Jay” is “victory”. Although tempted, Jay obviously represents those who gain the victory over the false prophet and harlot because of their training in discernment. We are told that the Word exercises our senses to discern good from evil: Heb.5:12 For when by reason of the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need again that some one teach you the rudiments of the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of solid food. 13 For every one that partaketh of milk is without experience of the word of righteousness; for he is a babe. 14 But solid food is for fullgrown men, [even] those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern good and evil.

We will continue our sermon series in Revelation. We are starting chapter 21 today. In Rev. 20, we are not told what happens to the redeemed. That is picked up in today's text.

The Tongue Conquers Enemies  (Audio) David Eells 9/22/24   A shaking is on the way. War appears to be breaking out on the surface.  The Covert war between the Alliance and the DS is likely to break out in larger overt operations. The DS has invaded the cities with terrorists and military-aged men and CCP Chinese along with others that are expanding the voter rolls within, in order to overthrow President Trump and the Alliance. They are preparing for terrorist acts because of the Brunson case has gone to the Supreme Court which will overthrow the DS government.  This from Operation Disclosure: The Brunson Brothers Voter Fraud Case before the Supreme Court asked a simple question: Did Congress investigate 50 formally filed allegations of voter fraud before certifying the 2020 Election? Obviously not, and rumor was that the Supreme Court had already ruled such on the case. We awaited an announcement likely in favor of Brunson that would dissolve the Biden Administration and all of Congress, plus bring in Martial Law until a new election was held.  Five separate assassination teams actively targeting President Trump. Three are foreign, two domestic. Three Assassination Attempts have come in the last few weeks. Your prayers and faith have cast down all five of these teams. President Trump is insulated.  Congressman Tim Burchett exposed the CIA's Sinister MK ULTRA plot to assassinate Trump! amg-news.com.  As we will see below your prayers and confession will cast most of the lawlessness down.  The DS anarchists plan on mass anarchy and destruction of cities and the Alliance military is being spread coast to coast before the announcement of the Supreme Court ruling in order to defend the cities and liberty from the lawless left who will not accept democracy. We cast down their weapons of warfare.     A New War Is Coming   Michael Boldea Jr. - 04/06/2007   Jeremiah 50:22 A sound of battle is in the land, and of great destruction. James 5:8 You also be patient. Establish your hearts, for the coming of the Lord is at hand.   I dreamt I was hearing what were at first faint hoof beats, but the closer they got, the louder they grew, until it was a thundering roar of not one or two horses but what seemed like hundreds. I felt as though the ground beneath me was shaking from the onrushing horses, and the sound of them became so loud, that I suddenly awoke in my bed. As I blinked a few times, adjusting to the darkness in my room, I noticed a shadow at the foot of my bed. I blinked again, and there stood the same man I have seen on previous occasions, dressed in battle armor, his hands resting atop each other before him, on the hilt of his sword.   “What is the meaning of what I just dreamt?” I asked, somehow knowing he had come to give me the interpretation.   “What you heard”, he began, “were the chariots of war, and they are swiftly approaching. A new war is coming, but it will be unlike this present one. Speak as you have spoken, pray as you have prayed, and walk as you have walked for dark days will soon come upon the land to which you are returning. Even now their enemies plot, even now their enemies unite under one banner, and soon they will make their intentions known to the world. There is no refuge but in the Father, and He will guide and protect those who know His voice”. (And confess His promises.)  I blinked again, and the man was gone, and I was left to ponder the words I had heard. I struggled with whether I should make this dream public, for I know the reaction that some will have to it, and the last thing I desire is to stir fear in the heart of any man. After much prayer I felt I was supposed to publish the dream, and though some may receive it as a reason to fear, the true children of God will receive it for what it was, the forewarning of a loving Father, preparing His children for what is to come. God's desire for us is not ignorance, but rather knowledge, that we may prepare our hearts, in prayer and fasting, that we may draw closer to Him, that we make Him our place of refuge long before hardship forces us to seek one. The wise man prepares, while the foolhardy is caught unaware.   Jeremiah 19:15 Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: 'Behold, I will bring on this city and on all her towns all the doom that I have pronounced against it, because they have stiffened their necks that they might not hear My words.       Terrorists Hiding in the States   Michael Boldea Jr. - May 5, 2003  I dreamt I was on a very high ridge, with a great valley spanning out beneath me. The night was calm, the moon and stars shining brightly in the sky. As I looked around trying to get my bearings, I was stunned to see my grandfather (Dumitru Duduman) standing next to me. He looked young and vibrant, his hands in his pockets, and a smile on his face.   “Interesting times ahead my boy, interesting times ahead”, he said. For a minute I was so shocked I couldn't say anything. Finally I blurted out the only thing that came to mind, “They have been interesting ever since you left. Trial after trial, hardship after hardship”.   “Now you know how Jesus felt when He walked the earth”, he answered, “always doing good, always in the Father's will, yet always mocked and rejected, always misunderstood and despised. Besides, it was all a test anyway”.  “A test of what?” I asked.   “For you personally, God wanted to see if you would stay true to your calling even when all seemed lost. He was preparing you and purging you, refining you, for the time when He will use you, and speak to you as He spoke to me”.   Before I could say anything, he lifted his hand to stop me. His fingers were no longer crooked from his arthritis, they were straight, and normal.   “I know what you're going to say my boy, it's not what you want, it's not what you asked for. But you should know by now it is the task you were chosen for. In this you have no choice, besides where can you hide from the face of God? Men have tried before, look how it turned out in the end. To reject what God has planned for you is to deny God. You know what the consequences are”. Unable to find the words to answer, I simply nodded my understanding and allowed him to continue speaking.   “As for why the ministry had to go through what it went through, God has already spoken that to your heart. You already know the answer. God wants all that know of this work, to be certain of one thing. It is He who sustains it; it is He who blesses it, and not the hands of men or their gimmicks. Do you think any of it would still be here after all that has happened if not for God? Never doubt Gods promises concerning this work, or His ability to fulfill them. Hope in God never disappoints; hope in man always leads to disillusionment.” (Amen. God has been preparing and sanctifying His Reformers to be leaders for the soon coming tribulation.)   “Now for the reason I am here. I was sent to show you something. Look and see”, he said, pointing down to the valley below. As I looked, I saw the outline of a map of America then the outlines of states began taking shape. As I continued to watch this map solidify, small lights began to flicker on and off in some of the states. I recognized California, Illinois, Michigan, Arizona, Washington State, Florida, and New York, among the states that lit up. The light was rhythmic, almost like a homing beacon, constant in its progression. I continued watching the lights go on and off, waiting for something else to happen, but nothing did. Finally I said, “I don't understand. What does this mean?”   “These are the places where those who were sent here long ago, to bring fear and cause chaos, have situated themselves. They lay in waiting, planning and plotting destruction. They are as coiled serpents, looking forward to the hour when they will be loosed upon this nation. If God's children pray, once more will He delay the season of sorrow that is yet to come”. (I believe He has done this.)   We stood on the ridge in silence for a long time. After a while the lights stopped flickering in the valley below, and the map began to fade away. Suddenly my grandfather turned his head toward the east, and began to sniff the air as he used to do. “Storms coming my boy, and it's a bad one”, he said. “Now give an old man a hug and let me be on my way. Be vigilant and work while you still can, it's all God asks of any of His servants. If the Father wills it, we will speak again”.   As I hugged my grandfather, I began to hear the rumbling of a great storm. The sky darkened overhead, and the booming of thunder was now audible. In my dream I closed my eyes, and when I opened them again, I was in my bed, awake. I wiped at my cheeks with the back of my hand, and realized I had been crying. As my eyes began to adjust to the dark, I saw that my wife was sitting up in bed, staring at me. When I asked her why she wasn't sleeping, she said I'd been talking in my sleep for over thirty minutes. I tried going back to sleep but sleep would not come. Finally I gave up trying, went into the kitchen and prayed until morning.   Over the past few days, I have spent much time in prayer as to whether I should share this dream or not. I believe that I am supposed to. My prayer is that no one would perceive it as a reason for fear, but rather a reason to hope. God hears the prayers of His children, and as long as He encourages us to pray, we must do so without reservation. The day will come, a day I anticipate with great dread, when God will speak to His children as He spoke to Jeremiah, and say do not pray for this people, or lift up a cry for them any longer. For now, while we still can, may we ceaselessly bring our petitions before the Lord.       Our Secret Place of Safety   David Eells   Everyone is looking for the place of safety in the tribulations to come. One man says the safe place is to be with the Ark of the Covenant, which is said to be in a Chapel next to St Mary of Zion, Ethiopian Orthodox Church in Axum, Ethiopia. I believe that Solomon gave a copy of the Ark to the Queen of Sheba who carried it there.   Be that as it may; God no longer dwells in houses made by men, so the ark is a relic. (Acts 7:47) But Solomon built him (God) a house. (48) Howbeit the Most High dwelleth not in [houses] made with hands. That just tells us that the ark in the temple was just a type and shadow of Jesus in His body. As He said, “I in them, and thou in me, that they may be perfected into one” (Jn.17:23). God now dwells in the ark of Christ and Christ now dwells in the Body of Christ. In us He is the ark of the covenant overlaid round about with gold, wherein [was] a golden pot holding the manna (of the Word in us), and Aaron's rod that budded (a sign of the authority of the High Priest in us), and the tables of the covenant (of the law written on our heart) (Heb.9:4).   The presence of the Ark ensured Israel of victory and protection. When the Philistines captured the Ark it brought a curse on them so terrible that they sent it home with an offering. On the other hand Jesus said in (Mat.5:13) Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost its savor, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out and trodden under foot of men.   Another brother asked me if I thought the Christians will flee for safety to the city of Petra in Jordan. I told him that I thought Petra would be far too small to accommodate them and it would be a natural trap where they could be wiped out. I do believe that some natural Jews will find shelter in Petra, which is the Greek word for “rock”. However, spiritual Jews who are circumcised in heart, have the spiritual Rock of Jesus as a place of safety. Jesus said that standing on Him was the place where Hell had no power over us. (Mat.16:18) And I also say unto thee, that thou art Peter (Gr: “Petros”, meaning a piece of the rock), and upon this rock (Greek: Petra) I will build my church; and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it. Jesus is our rock of safety.   Peter himself said that Jesus was the Rock that we are to be founded on. (1Pet.2:5) ye also, as living stones, are built up a spiritual house, to be a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. (6) Because it is contained in scripture, Behold, I lay in Zion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: And he that believeth on him shall not be put to shame. (7) For you therefore that believe is the preciousness: but for such as disbelieve, The stone which the builders rejected, The same was made the head of the corner; (8) and, A stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence; for they stumble at the word, being disobedient: whereunto also they were appointed. The disobedient stumble through unbelief in the Word and so are not founded on the Rock. Judgment will take them away wherever they hide.   Those who are obedient to the Word through faith are on the safety of the Rock. (Mat.7:24) Every one therefore that heareth these words of mine, and doeth them, shall be likened unto a wise man, who built his house upon the rock: (25) and the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and if fell not: for it was founded upon the rock. (26) And every one that heareth these words of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, who built his house upon the sand: (27) and the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and smote upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall thereof. The apostate churches belittle obedience to the Word because of their unbelief.  We don't stand on the Rock in our own strength but our faith gives us God's strength. My wife had a dream of me after we first became Christians. She saw me standing on a Rock in the middle of the ocean. I had leg braces on like crippled people wear to strengthen their legs. I perceived that the Rock was Christ or the Word and the ocean was the curse as was the flood. In our own strength we are crippled and not able to stand on the Word, but the filling of His Spirit and faith in His promises empowers us to be what we normally are not.   It has come to me that only the rich in a time of economic collapse and wrath would be able to fly to the city of Petra, but salvation is for the poor. No amount of money can buy us safety, because it is not a place but a state of being. (Pr.11:4) Riches profit not in the day of wrath; but righteousness delivereth from death. (6) The righteousness of the upright shall deliver them; But the treacherous shall be taken in their own iniquity.   Faith in the Lord makes Him our secret refuge. (Psa.91:1) He that dwelleth in the secret place of the Most High Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. Notice the confession that puts us on the Rock. (2) I will say of Jehovah, He is my refuge and my fortress; My God, in whom I trust. The secret place of safety will be hidden to many who are only called “Christian” but the righteous are safe right in the middle of judgment. (7) A thousand shall fall at thy side, And ten thousand at thy right hand; [But] it shall not come nigh thee. (8) Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold, And see the reward of the wicked. (The good confession that puts us in safety.)  9 For thou, O Jehovah, art my refuge! Thou hast made the Most High thy habitation; 10  There shall no evil befall thee, Neither shall any plague come nigh thy tent. God's angels will protect the righteous wherever they are. (11) For he will give his angels charge over thee, To keep thee in all thy ways. (12) They shall bear thee up in their hands, Lest thou dash thy foot against a stone. They do this for the righteous who believe. (Gal.3:13) Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us; for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree: (14) that upon the Gentiles might come the blessing of Abraham in Christ Jesus.   A friend of mine had a very clear dream about the coming invasion of America. He said everyone in the Gulf States was fleeing toward the north to get as far away from the invading army as possible. He was going to get on a shuttle and go too, but the Lord told him to give his place to someone else and sent him and his family into a local city that had been nuked. He had no fear of the radiation or the enemy. It is obvious that God's people will not need to follow the world's example. Paul was not hiding but sharing the Gospel in the most effective time to do so. He said, “[in] journeyings often, [in] perils of rivers, [in] perils of robbers, [in] perils from [my] countrymen, [in] perils from the Gentiles, [in] perils in the city, [in] perils in the wilderness, [in] perils in the sea, [in] perils among false brethren” (2 Cor.11:26).   The Lord told me that this time represented the second 3½ years of the tribulation period. Paul also said, “what persecutions I endured. And out of them all the Lord delivered me” (2Tim.3:11). He also said, “But the Lord stood by me, and strengthened me; that through me the message might be fully proclaimed, and that all the Gentiles might hear: and I was delivered out of the mouth of the lion. The Lord will deliver me from every evil work, and will save me unto his heavenly kingdom” (2Tim.4:17,18).   If one is called to be a martyr, they will have the protection of God until their testimony is finished and even then only their flesh will be given up for a sacrifice. (Rev.11:7) And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast that cometh up out of the abyss shall make war with them, and overcome them, and kill them.      Agree with the Blessed Provisions   David  We are in a battle which can be won by those who will speak the Word of the Lord and confess His promises for safety and provision. The Bible tells us that Death and life are in the power of the tongue (Pro.18:21). Let's look at how we can cooperate with God in the process of sanctification so that we are those who speak life and partake of the benefits of the Kingdom and able to give them to others. (Jas.3:8) But the tongue can no man tame; [it is] a restless evil, [it is] full of deadly poison. (9) Therewith bless we the Lord and Father; and therewith curse we men, who are made after the likeness of God: (10) out of the same mouth cometh forth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be. (11) Doth the fountain send forth from the same opening [sweet water] and bitter? (12) can a fig tree, my brethren, yield olives, or a vine figs? neither [can] salt water yield sweet. We want to learn by the grace of God to bring forth those “sweet waters” so that we will not suffer with the wicked.  When Moses and the children of Israel came up to Marah, meaning “bitterness” (Exo 15:22-25), they couldn't drink the water. God commanded that a tree be cast into the waters so that they would be made sweet. Marah represents the bitter waters of the fountain, or mouth, which were cured by the tree, representing the Cross. The Cross has conquered our tongue and has given us this gift of the sweet waters so we can bring forth blessings, instead of the cursings, out of this spring of our mouth. Believe this.  The Bible also tells us, The heart of the wise instructeth his mouth, And addeth learning to his lips (Pro.16:23). So we want to educate ourselves to be swift to hear, slow to speak and slow to wrath (Jas.1:19). We need to think about what we are saying and disagree with the devil because he tempts us to speak the things under the curse and not the things of the Kingdom. The Lord is helping us and He has already conquered the tongue, which no man can tame, but the Lord can through His Word and promises. Jesus was the sacrifice Who gave us a new tongue through the reconciliation.   It says in (Jos.1:6) Be strong and of good courage; for thou shalt cause this people to inherit the land which I sware unto their father to give them. (7) Only be strong and very courageous, to observe to do according to all the law, which Moses my servant commanded thee: turn not from it to the right hand or to the left, that thou mayest have good success whithersoever thou goest. Notice that God said that Joshua (Hebrew: “Jesus”) was going to cause His people to be brought into their inherited Promised Land. This land belongs to us, not every Pagen alien they can invade us with and we will win this battle with them.  We know that the Promised Land is also us. Heb 6:7-8 For the land which hath drunk the rain that cometh oft upon it, and bringeth forth herbs meet for them for whose sake it is also tilled, receiveth blessing from God: 8 but if it beareth thorns and thistles, it is rejected and nigh unto a curse; whose end is to be burned. Jesus bore this curse let us confess Him before men.  The Son of God is being manifested in His people. (Col.1:27) … Christ in you, the hope of glory. He is a product of the Word of God being assimilated in our life and mouth; Christ is the Word of God (John 1:14). He saved us from our enemies. (Luk.1:70-74) (As he spake by the mouth of his holy prophets that have been from of old), 71 Salvation from our enemies, and from the hand of all that hate us; ...74 To grant unto us that we being delivered out of the hand of our enemies Should serve him without fear,  You crucify the spiritual man when you walk and talk in the flesh and for those who have been filled with the Holy Spirit and enlightened, who have tasted of the heavenly gift, this will become a curse unto them. (Heb.6:7) For the land which hath drunk the rain (Those who have partaken of the Word from heaven.) that cometh oft upon it, and bringeth forth herbs meet for them for whose sake it is also tilled, receiveth blessing from God: (8) but if it beareth thorns and thistles, it is rejected and nigh unto a curse; whose end is to be burned. The word “rejected” is adokimos, meaning, specifically, “reprobated.” The apostle Paul said that he kept his body under control if, perhaps, after he had preached to others, he himself would be “rejected” or “reprobated” (1Co 9:27). This has been demonstrated to us.   God doesn't reprobate land; He reprobates people. The Bible is very plain; in the original Greek, we are God's “tilled land” (1Co.3:9). God wants to plow this earth, our natural life, and plant His seed in the midst of it, bringing forth the fruit of Jesus Christ in us. The land that Joshua wants to cause us to inherit is referring to our new fruit and life. Part of that is our bold faith. The spiritual man, the Israelite, is to conquer this land with the edge of the Sword, the Word of God. The spiritual man is to take the land from the enemy, the Canaanite and live in his house, our body, and plant his crop and bear the fruit of the spiritual man.   (Jos.1:7) Only be strong and very courageous, to observe to do according to all the law, which Moses my servant commanded thee: turn not from it to the right hand or to the left, that thou mayest have good success whithersoever thou goest. Notice that turning to the right or left would cause failure to take our Promised Land from the enemies.   I had a dream many years ago where I was standing on a mountain, looking down into a valley and a road that went down the side of this mountain. The road had a ditch or trench down the middle of it. I was in a car, with one set of tires on one side of the trench and the other set on the other side, going down this road to the bottom of the mountain. I realized I couldn't turn to the right or the left because, if I did, two wheels would fall into the trench and that would be the end of any progress; I wouldn't go any farther. I steered very carefully, not to the right and not to the left, as I went down this mountain. Let us speak what the Word says about us.  The Lord gave me the understanding afterward that this mountain represented the kingdom of the world – man, self or the old life. I was to navigate this road and not turn to the right or left, until I got off of this mountain. As soon as I was at the bottom, I immediately realized that there were enemies everywhere. To the extent that we humble ourselves to the Word of God, going down the mountain of “self,” the more enemies we will have, even religious enemies or so-called “Christian” enemies. (2Ti.3:12) … All that would live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution. But as we hold fast to the confession of our hope the enemies will be conquered as our faction was and the political faction shall be. (Luk10:19) Behold, I have given you authority to tread upon serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall in any wise hurt you.  Most of the persecution toward Jesus and the disciples came from the people who called themselves the “people of God” but were not. When I got to the bottom and knew that the enemy was everywhere, I went under a bush and there I found tools that I picked up, and treated them as if they were treasure. These tools were hammers, screwdrivers, wrenches and so on. The Lord later revealed to me that these tools represented the authority to bind and loose (Mat 18:18), as all of these tools do. The Lord made me to know I was coming to a time, when under the bush, I was going to manifest more of this authority. Let us bind our enemies in the name of Jesus.   At the time of the burning bush, Moses was given authority to go into Egypt to act for the Lord. I've been binding and loosing for many years but I believe that we're coming to a time of real power from God. It's only going to come to those who humble themselves and don't turn to the right or to the left, but stay on God's road, a self-crucifying path of obedience to the Word of God. When I picked up these tools, I went up another mountain, which represented Mount Zion. I went through the front doors of a great temple, which I believe represented the New Jerusalem on Mount Zion and I saw Jesus sitting on His throne. I went over and sat down next to Him, as He said that overcomers would do. (Rev.3:21) He that overcometh, I will give to him to sit down with me in my throne, as I also overcame, and sat down with my Father in his throne. This is the throne of dominion over our enemies.  As I was speaking with Jesus, I heard people trying to come into the throne room by a back way and not through the door that I had come through. Jesus is the door in John 10:1. Jesus saw these people and said, “Don't worry about them; they can't come in here.” So these were people looking for “throne room” authority but they wouldn't humble themselves to the Word of God personally. The Pharisees only had physical authority as in our day. God will give authority only to those who overcome according to Rev 2:26.   Back to (Jos.1:8) This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth, but thou shalt meditate thereon day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success. The spiritual man speaks the Word so that as you walk, it will bring good success when conquering our Promised Land for the Lord. The first fruits are approaching this point. We must speak according to God's promises, even in the midst of the fiery trial. As Christians, we “calleth the things that are not, as though they were” (Rom.4:17). We speak the things we have according to promise and not according to what we see in the world. This is how we change the things around us. This is God's plan. We let the Word, or our agreement with the Word in what we say, come from our mouth so that we may have good success in conquering our Promised Land.   Further on in Joshua, we see that he is still leading the people of God to conquer their Promised Land in order to put to death their enemies there. In this particular case, the head of God's people, Joshua, is conquering the Amorites. (Jos.10:12) Then spake Joshua to the Lord in the day when the Lord delivered up the Amorites before the children of Israel; and he said in the sight of Israel, Sun, stand thou still upon Gibeon; And thou, Moon, in the valley of Aijalon. I believe God is showing us here to what extent He would go to give our enemy into our hands, if we would speak the Word with boldness.   (Jos.10:8) And the Lord said unto Joshua, Fear them not: for I have delivered them into thy hands; there shall not a man of them stand before thee. On a personal and spiritual level that “man” He was referring to was the old man who lived in the Promised Land of our life before the new man took possession. He represented the lusts of the flesh, which would not be able to stand. On a physical and political level it would be the DS and their invading army. Joshua and the children of Israel were having victory over the Amorites but they were running out of time. Remember, the Lord said that if we confess Him before men, He shall confess us before the Father in Mat 10:32.   Likewise, Joshua confessed in the sight of Israel. He was bold and full of faith and he spoke it right in front of Israel, Sun, stand thou still upon Gibeon; And thou, Moon, in the valley of Aijalon (Jos.10:12). (13) And the sun stood still, and the moon stayed, Until the nation had avenged themselves of their enemies. Is not this written in the book of Jashar? And the sun stayed in the midst of heaven, and hasted not to go down about a whole day.   Now at first, I thought God just stopped Earth from spinning, but I later realized that the moon stayed in the same relative position as the sun and Earth didn't spin. It's possible the whole solar system had stopped. This is a very dangerous thing to do, unless you also control the rest of the universe. Things would tend toward collision down the road somewhere. Can you imagine that God stopped the solar system and more, just so Israel could conquer their enemy? What kind of other big miracle can you imagine that God would do for us to give us victory over our enemy? God gave the Israelites an awesome victory over their enemies! Of course, they needed the time and, for a whole day, the system was frozen. We have all heard of NASA finding the missing day so they could calculate where things would be at a certain time.  People claim that God only did that back then and does not do that today, simply because of the verse right after it. (Jos.10:14) And there was no day like that before it or after it, that the Lord hearkened unto the voice of a man: for the Lord fought for Israel. Well, the Lord still hearkens unto our voice, for many people speak miracles today and they come to pass as they did in the Bible long after Joshua. The key here is “voice of a man” The creation now hearkens to the voice of God through man.  Jesus said, the words that I have spoken unto you are spirit, and are life (Joh.6:63), meaning they are His Spirit and His life. In other words, it's the life of God living in us; it's the spiritual man who speaks in agreement with the Word of God. Also, it is the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God (Eph.6:17). Therefore, it's not as if God is hearkening unto the voice of a man, but He is hearkening unto the voice of His sons. That spiritual man in us is not man, but God. The Son of God is manifesting in His people speaking His Words out of us. When we come into agreement with the Word, we can be trusted. The Lord said, If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ask whatsoever ye will, and it shall be done unto you (Joh.15:7). Why? The Word in you is trustworthy to God. If you fill yourself up with the Word and you desire earnestly to walk in agreement with it, God says you're trustworthy.   A long time after Joshua, the Lord wrote this: (Isa.45:11) Thus saith the Lord, the Holy One of Israel, and his Maker: Ask me of the things that are to come; concerning my sons, and concerning the work of my hands, command ye me. Does God really do that? When you command something to be done, like when His disciples commanded healings, deliverances, provision and so on, God fulfilled it. God gave them the authority, which is the right to use power and it's what we do when we speak in agreement with the Word of God. In effect, what we are doing is commanding God, since He said that if we do, He will do it and Jesus said the same.   Psalm 8 was spoken concerning the natural Adam and his seed, but also in type to spiritual Adam, Jesus Christ, and His seed. (Psa.8:6) Thou makest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; Thou hast put all things under his feet. This was said of man and the Son of man. Jesus said that God had given Him authority because He is son of man (Joh.5:27). Man was given authority on the earth but when Adam sinned, he lost that authority to Satan. However, we gained it back through Jesus Christ because He was faithful. We now have this authority over the works of God's hands when we speak in agreement with the Word of God and He fulfills it. (Lam.3:37) Who is he that saith, and it cometh to pass, when the Lord commandeth it not?   The next thing we see in Joshua is that they went after the five kings who were ruling the Promised Land. (Jos.10:16) And these five kings fled, and hid themselves in the cave at Makkedah. (17) And it was told Joshua, saying, The five kings are found, hidden in the cave at Makkedah. (18) And Joshua said, Roll great stones unto the mouth of the cave, and set men by it to keep them: (19) but stay not ye; pursue after your enemies, and smite the hindmost of them; suffer them not to enter into their cities: for the Lord your God hath delivered them into your hand. The first thing they did was trap the five kings in the cave and then they rolled great stones over the mouth of the cave.   Adam was created from the dust of the earth and this old man is earthly, but as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly (1Co.15:49). We are both earthly and heavenly, a spiritual man of the heavens and the carnal man of the earth represented by this cave in the earth. The carnal man of the earth has a mouth and here it's called “the mouth of the cave.” The Lord made the spiritual men roll these great stones over the mouth of the cave. The five kings represent the five senses and the spiritual man put stones, which represent the Word, over the mouth so the carnal senses are not permitted to speak and bring a curse.   The Bible says that senses must be exercised by the Word of God so that we understand the difference between good and evil. (Heb.5:13) For every one that partaketh of milk is without experience of the word of righteousness; for he is a babe. (14) But solid food is for fullgrown men, [even] those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern good and evil. Born-again people have born-again senses. As spiritual men, we must have spiritual senses. Our carnal senses trap and rule over us and our land when we live according to what we see, hear and feel as the old man and the world does.   God teaches us how to spiritually see in (2Pe.1:3) Seeing that his divine power hath granted unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that called us by his own glory and virtue. We see that God has already provided us everything that pertains unto life and godliness! Now you have the eyes of a dove (Son 1:15). You have the eyes of the Spirit when you begin to see that the promises are true, but the world is transitory. (2Pe.1:4) Whereby he hath granted unto us his precious and exceeding great promises (the stones at the mouth of the cave); that through these ye may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped from the corruption that is in the world by lust.   Having eyes to see, we can partake of God's nature. We will have spiritual eyes, ears, touch, spiritual smell (or discernment), spiritual taste and words. We've been given these spiritual gifts that enable the spiritual man to take over. The Israelites had captured the five kings who ruled the Promised Land in a cave and they closed up the mouth with great stones. And we know, Jesus is the Stone; He's the Rock which is the Word of God. These great stones represent the great promises of the Word of God. We're adding learning to our lips, which are the “mouth of the cave.”   When we study the Word of God, we learn and see what we are supposed to say and what we're not supposed to say. It gives us restraint to not say things that would permit a curse upon our life. The Israelites had to conquer the Promised Land, and conquer these kings that ruled over the carnal man and bring the curse upon him. And this is what the parable points to – rolling out those stones in front of the mouth. (Eph.4:29) Let no corrupt speech proceed out of your mouth, but such as is good for edifying (building-up) as the need may be, that it may give grace to them that hear.   We can see that we can apply many verses when speaking of conquering the DS with all their invaders who are getting ready to overthrow this land we live in. Just a couple come quickly to mind. (Mat.18:18-19) Verily I say unto you, What things soever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven; and what things soever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. 19 Again I say unto you, that if two of you shall agree on earth as touching anything that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father who is in heaven. And (Mar.11:23-24) Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou taken up and cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that what he saith cometh to pass; he shall have it. 24 Therefore I say unto you, All things whatsoever ye pray and ask for, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them. These will come in useful when the invaders rise up.  If we see and walk in the Spirit, then we speak in agreement with the Spirit. (2Co.7:1) Having therefore these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all defilement of flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God. Our nature is changed by the Word of God when …we all, with unveiled face beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are transformed into the same image from glory to glory, even as from the Lord the Spirit. (2Co 3:18) When we see a need, such as someone living under the curse, we should speak truth with grace to them to overcome, grace to meet that need, whatever it may be. When we speak according to the Kingdom, we are meeting someone's need for God and His benefits. Saving this country from the invaders to whatever extent God permits is a need.  They will be permitted to persecute the apostate Church for it is in rebellion to the Word of our covenant. (Col.3:17) And whatsoever ye do, in word or in deed, [do] all in the name (Greek: “nature, character and authority”) of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him. Do everything as if you are representing Him because you are an ambassador of Christ (2Co 5:20), so speak His words to this world and His enemies. We're called to confess Him before men always and to speak in His name.   (1Pe.4:11) If any man speaketh, speaking as it were oracles of God; if any man ministereth, [ministering] as of the strength which God supplieth: that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, whose is the glory and the dominion for ever and ever. Amen. When we speak as an oracle of God, that is His Word coming out of us, we're letting the spiritual man, who is in communication with God through our spirit, do the speaking. We don't let the carnal man, the flesh, do the speaking.   To walk holy is to walk separate. The Greek word for “holy” is the same word for “sanctified” and it means “separate”; that is, separated from the world, from sin, separated unto God. We speak His words, think His thoughts and we do His works because He lives in us. The more we do that, the more we grow in holiness. It's the place of Holiness, preservation and provision. Without holiness, no man can see the Lord (Heb 12:14). Holiness is what we grow in when we bear the fruit of Jesus Christ. It is separation from the old man, who is moved and ruled by the carnal senses, unto the new man, who is ruled according to the spiritual senses.   Now let's go to (Isa.11:2) And the Spirit of the Lord shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the Lord. (3) And his delight shall be in the fear of the Lord; and he shall not judge after the sight of his eyes, neither decide after the hearing of his ears; (4) but with righteousness shall he judge the poor (This is poor in the things of the Kingdom), and decide with equity for the meek of the earth; and he shall smite the earth with the rod of his mouth; and with the breath of his lips shall he slay the wicked. (5) And righteousness shall be the girdle of his waist, and faithfulness the girdle of his loins.   He's talking about Christ in His first-fruits Man-child in the end-time who will not walk according to the carnal senses because he shall not judge after the sight of his eyes, neither decide after the hearing of his ears (Isa.11:3). Instead, we are to have our senses exercised to discern good from evil (Heb 5:14) by the Word of God, which is the washing of water with the word (Eph.5:26). As our senses are exercised, we begin to see and hear spiritually; we begin to hear and speak the Voice of the Spirit.   It's similar to when David went to slay Goliath, the giant in the land. He went to the brook and pulled out those five smooth stones that were exercised by the washing of the water, which represents the Word. He took only one of those stones and he felled Goliath (1Sa 17). David spoke it to him ahead of time, declaring that he would take off Goliath's head and feed him to the birds. That's very bold! And because David spoke it, that's exactly what he did. The stone, or sense, that David was using was the tongue. The tongue senses tastes but it also speaks the Word. David conquered Goliath because he had spiritual senses.   Now we can return to Joshua. He told the Israelites to go after their enemies, since the five kings were already trapped in the cave and closed off with the stones. Now they were able to conquer those whom the kings had ruled over. (Jos.10:20) And it came to pass, when Joshua and the children of Israel had made an end of slaying them with a very great slaughter, till they were consumed, and the remnant which remained of them had entered into the fortified cities, (21) that all the people returned to the camp to Joshua at Makkedah in peace: none moved his tongue against any of the children of Israel.   (22) Then said Joshua, Open the mouth of the cave, and bring forth those five kings unto me out of the cave. (23) And they did so, and brought forth those five kings unto him out of the cave, the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, the king of Eglon. (24) And it came to pass, when they brought forth those kings unto Joshua, that Joshua called for all the men of Israel, and said unto the chiefs of the men of war that went with him, Come near, put your feet upon the necks of these kings. And they came near, and put their feet upon the necks of them.   They let them out of the cave and they had to keep them from speaking, so they put their feet on their necks. It reminds me of the dream I've shared before about being in a war with a giant and not letting the old man speak. When he did, he said, “Bigger, bigger, bigger!” We have a lot of giants around us – a lot of big problems and a lot of big enemies. But we can't let the old man, whom I captured in the dream and who was in bondage to me, speak out of our mouth. I didn't want to let him speak because the old man has the authority to make the situation worse and make the enemy stronger and bigger. I refused him and demanded that the giant be reduced, saying, “No! Smaller, smaller, smaller.”   Similarly, the Israelites put their feet on the kings' necks, causing the five senses to not speak or to rule over the body. (Jos.10:25) And Joshua said unto them, Fear not, nor be dismayed; be strong and of good courage: for thus shall the Lord do to all your enemies against whom ye fight. (Notice, you speak the Word and the Lord will do it. In Rev.12:11, the devil and his angels were cast down by the “word of their testimony” of the saints.)  (26) And afterward Joshua smote them, and put them to death, and hanged them on five trees: and they were hanging upon the trees until the evening. Notice that all of our enemies, firstly our old man, will be conquered in this way. Father said against Babylon in Jer.51:3 …Utterly destroy all her army. We are not permitted to wrestle with flesh nor use fleshly weapons but to “resist not” and if opportunity arises we are to preach Christ to them.  But we have authority over all their power and that includes the principalities and powers. (Luk.10:19) Behold, I have given you authority to tread upon serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall in any wise hurt you. As an example to us, before Jesus' time of crucifixion, when the Jews sought to throw him off a cliff, he just passed through their midst unharmed. I was shot at by an assassin from close range and my angel made the bullet disappear. A tractor back blade was thrown straight at my head by a demon, while Michael watched, but all I felt was a finger on my nose pushing me to the ground with zero pain. That was just ahead of the blade. Michael was sure it had hit and killed me.  My tractor wheel fell into a hole and the tractor was flipping into a gully. I was looking straight down at the ground when the tractor uprighted with me stuck in the seat. It was a work of our satanists. Several other times I escaped them. (Luk.1:68) ...For he hath visited and wrought redemption for his people... 71 Salvation from our enemies, and from the hand of all that hate us...74 To grant unto us that we being delivered out of the hand of our enemies Should serve him without fear.  Jesus Christ was hanged upon a tree, or cross, and they wanted to take Him down before evening, too. Jesus also was buried in a cave. So why is God applying this to the senses of the old man? (Gal.2:20) I have been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I that live, but Christ living in me: and that life which I now live in the flesh I live in faith, the faith which is in the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself up for me. That includes our five senses. The Lord has already taken care of this problem when He was crucified on that tree and you were crucified with Him. You have been given this gift of the new man, for by one offering he hath perfected forever them that are sanctified (Heb.10:14).  We walk in the spirit according to these divine senses that are attuned to the Kingdom of Heaven. These senses see how to walk in the Kingdom. It comes quite naturally to us to walk in the world but it comes supernaturally to us to walk in the Kingdom; that is, to have our senses exercised by the Word of God to see and hear the way God sees and hears, and to smell, or discern, the way God does. It is also to have our emotions in communication with God.   We have the victory over the old man and his senses because he's dead and the new man, Who is Jesus Christ, lives in you. Because of your faith and speaking that faith, God will bring it to pass. He will do it through our faith and not by our works. (Eph.2:8) For by grace have ye been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, [it is] the gift of God; (9) not of works, that no man should glory.   Father, we pray that You will (Psa.141:3) Set a watch, O Lord, before my mouth; Keep the door of my lips. Amen.  So we know that in the Kingdom of Heaven, there is singing, praise, worship and thanksgiving to the Lord our King. When we do this, we are bringing more of His Kingdom down here to earth. (Mat.6:10)  We have ‘authority over all the power of the enemy' (Luk.10:19). We have power in praise. When we praise the Lord, He gives us the victory!       Worship and Praise   Vines Expository Dictionary on the Greek word Worship: “to make obeisance, do reverence to” (from pros, “towards”, and kuneo, “to kiss”), is the most frequent word rendered “to worship”. It is used of an act of homage or reverence. In other words, worship is an act of love toward God.   Father is looking for those who worship Him with their all: (Joh.4:21) Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when neither in this mountain, nor in Jerusalem, shall ye worship the Father. (22) Ye worship that which ye know not: we worship that which we know; for salvation is from the Jews. (23) But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and truth: for such doth the Father seek to be his worshippers. (24) God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship in spirit and truth. There is much fake worship -- words without heart and spirit.   Worship is the way to bring God's presence: (Psa.100:1) Make a joyful noise unto Jehovah, all ye lands. (2) Serve Jehovah with gladness: Come before his presence with singing. (3) Know ye that Jehovah, he is God: It is he that hath made us, and we are his; We are his people, and the sheep of his pasture. (4) Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, And into his courts with praise: Give thanks unto him, and bless his name. (5) For Jehovah is good; His lovingkindness endureth forever, And his faithfulness unto all generations.   Worship reveals our love and admiration for God and He knows it: (1Ch.29:11) Thine, O Jehovah, is the greatness, and the power, and the glory, and the victory, and the majesty: for all that is in the heavens and in the earth is thine; thine is the kingdom, O Jehovah, and thou art exalted as head above all.   Praise Him everywhere, with a new song that comes from your heart, and dancing and with all instruments and enemies will be conquered: (Psa.149:1) Praise ye Jehovah. Sing unto Jehovah a new song, And his praise in the assembly of the saints. (2) Let Israel rejoice in him that made him: Let the children of Zion be joyful in their King. (3) Let them praise his name in the dance: Let them sing praises unto him with timbrel and harp. (4) For Jehovah taketh pleasure in his people: He will beautify the meek with salvation. (5) Let the saints exult in glory: Let them sing for joy upon their beds. (This will bind our enemies works against us.)  (7)  To execute vengeance upon the nations, And punishments upon the peoples;  (8)  To bind their kings with chains, And their nobles with fetters of iron;  (9)  To execute upon them the judgment written: This honor have all his saints. Praise ye Jehovah. (Children can conquer enemies in worship.) Psa 8:2  Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou established strength, Because of thine adversaries, That thou mightest still the enemy and the avenger. (150:1) Praise ye Jehovah. Praise God in his sanctuary: Praise him in the firmament of his power. (2) Praise him for his mighty acts: Praise him according to his excellent greatness. (3) Praise him with trumpet sound: Praise him with psaltery and harp. (4) Praise him with timbrel and dance: Praise him with stringed instruments and pipe. (5) Praise him with loud cymbals: Praise him with high sounding cymbals. (6) Let everything that hath breath praise Jehovah. Praise ye Jehovah. It is the will of the Lord to worship in songs and hymns: (Eph.5:17) Wherefore be ye not foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is. (18) And be not drunken with wine, wherein is riot, but be filled with the Spirit; 19 speaking one to another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody with your heart to the Lord; (20) giving thanks always for all things in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ to God, even the Father; We give thanks to God; this is a secret of power because we believe we have already received what we asked, right?   Praise (meaning “brag on”) Him to everyone: (1Ch.16:23) Sing unto Jehovah, all the earth; Show forth his salvation from day to day. (24) Declare his glory among the nations, His marvelous works among all the peoples. (25) For great is Jehovah, and greatly to be praised: He also is to be feared above all gods. (26) For all the gods of the peoples are idols: But Jehovah made the heavens. (27) Honor and majesty are before him: Strength and gladness are in his place. (28) Ascribe unto Jehovah, ye kindreds of the peoples, Ascribe unto Jehovah glory and strength; (29) Ascribe unto Jehovah the glory due unto his name: Bring an offering, and come before him: Worship Jehovah in holy array. (30) Tremble before him, all the earth: The world also is established that it cannot be moved. (31) Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice; And let them say among the nations, Jehovah reigneth.   We are taught to worship, praise and pray with hands lifted up to the Lord: (1Ti.2:8) I desire therefore that the men pray in every place, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and disputing. (Psa.63:4) So will I bless thee while I live: I will lift up my hands in thy name. (Lam.3:41) Let us lift up our heart with our hands unto God in the heavens. (Neh.8:6) and Ezra blessed Jehovah, the great God. And all the people answered, Amen, Amen, with the lifting up of their hands: and they bowed their heads, and worshipped Jehovah with their faces to the ground.   Why lifting up hands? Offering our hands to the Lord for His works and to conquer His enemies: (Exo.17:9) And Moses said unto Joshua, Choose us out men, and go out, fight with Amalek: to-morrow I will stand on the top of the hill with the rod of God in my hand. (10) So Joshua did as Moses had said to him, and fought with Amalek: and Moses, Aaron, and Hur went up to the top of the hill. (11) And it came to pass, when Moses held up his hand, that Israel prevailed; and when he let down his hand, Amalek prevailed. (12) But Moses' hands were heavy; and they took a stone, and put it under him, and he sat thereon; and Aaron and Hur stayed up his hands, the one on the one side, and the other on the other side; And his hands were steady until the going down of the sun. (13) And Joshua discomfited Amalek and his people with the edge of the sword.   Worship and praise will conquer overwhelming enemies: (2Ch.20:17) Ye shall not need to fight in this battle: set yourselves, stand ye still, and see the salvation of Jehovah with you, O Judah and Jerusalem; fear not, nor be dismayed: to-morrow go out against them: for Jehovah is with you. (18) And Jehoshaphat bowed his head with his face to the ground; and all Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem fell down before Jehovah, worshipping Jehovah. (19) And the Levites, of the children of the Kohathites and of the children of the Korahites, stood up to praise Jehovah, the God of Israel, with an exceeding loud voice.   (20) And they rose early in the morning, and went forth into the wilderness of Tekoa: and as they went forth, Jehoshaphat stood and said, Hear me, O Judah, and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem: believe in Jehovah your God, so shall ye be established; believe his prophets, so shall ye prosper. (21) And when he had taken counsel with the people, he appointed them that should sing unto Jehovah, and give praise in holy array, as they went out before the army, and say, Give thanks unto Jehovah; for his lovingkindness endureth forever. (22) And when they began to sing and to praise, Jehovah set liers-in-wait against the children of Ammon, Moab, and mount Seir, that were come against Judah; and they were smitten. (The angels will smite the enemies in the land.)  Worship to bind the enemy and their kings: (Psa.149:6) Let the high praises of God be in their mouth, And a two-edged sword in their hand; (7) To execute vengeance upon the nations, And punishments upon the peoples; (The Lord is doing this.) (8) To bind their kings with chains, And their nobles with fetters of iron; (9) To execute upon them the judgment written: This honor have all his saints. Praise ye Jehovah.   Because judgment and enemies are near, fear God and worship Him: (Rev.14:7) and he saith with a great voice, Fear God, and give him glory; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made the heaven and the earth and sea and fountains of waters. (Dan.3:16) Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego answered and said to the king, O Nebuchadnezzar, we have no need to answer thee in this matter. (17) If it be so, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace; and he will deliver us out of thy hand, O king. (18) But if not, be it known unto thee, O king, that we will not serve thy gods, nor worship the golden image which thou hast set up.   (2Ki.17:38) and the covenant that I have made with you ye shall not forget; neither shall ye fear other gods: (39) but Jehovah your God shall ye fear; and he will deliver you out of the hand of all your enemies.   We can clap and shout our triumph over our enemies. Triumph is celebrating the victory before we see it: (Psa.47:1) Oh clap your hands, all ye peoples; Shout unto God with the voice of triumph. (Jos.6:20) So the people shouted, and the priests blew the trumpets; and it came to pass, when the people heard the sound of the trumpet, that the people shouted with a great shout, and the wall fell down flat, so that the people went up into the city, every man straight before him, and they took the city.   Praise in Hebrew is “Hallal”, meaning brag on the Lord. Give credit or ascribe to the Lord: (Psa.29:1) Ascribe unto Jehovah, O ye sons of the mighty, Ascribe unto Jehovah glory and strength. (2) Ascribe unto Jehovah the glory due unto his name; Worship Jehovah in holy array. (3) The voice of Jehovah is upon the waters: The God of glory thundereth, Even Jehovah upon many waters. (4) The voice of Jehovah is powerful; The voice of Jehovah is full of majesty. (5) The voice of Jehovah breaketh the cedars; Yea, Jehovah breaketh in pieces the cedars of Lebanon. When we speak in agreement with the Word of God, we are giving “voice” to the Word and the angels hearken to His voice. (Psa.103:20) Bless Jehovah, ye his angels, That are mighty in strength, that fulfil his word, Hearkening unto the voice of his word. Amen! 

The Fall of DS Babylon (Audio) David Eells – 9/18/24 I told you I would try to share things with you if you would forsake being news junkies and seek the Lord for sanctification, which we have studied a lot lately. I pray you are ready for what's coming.  :0) I was told by the Lord to tell this story and that everything and everyone is covered by Him. (In Rev 12 the dragon and his angels are being cast down. I will share and make comments on some world affairs here.)

Trust The Plan Pray “The Enormity Of What Is Coming Will Shock The World” …President Donald Trump, Q+ And the angels are also using men because it is in the Word that Cyrus, a type of Trump, destroys DS Babylon. Right Now a Globally Coordinated Military Strike Designed to Obliterate the Globalist Power Structure is Bringing in the Greatest Transfer of Wealth in History Did you know that angels only fulfill His Word and only listen to the voice of the Lord? Psa 103:20  Bless Jehovah, ye his angels, That are mighty in strength, that fulfil his word, Hearkening unto the voice of his word. One man who dealt with angels asked a high ranking one if he commanded them. The angel said we only obey the voice of God. This is true. If the word of the Lord comes out of man's mouth they obey it as it was with Annanias and Sapphira. When our missionaries were being killed by the Jesuits and Jehovah Witnesses because their people were being converted, the man who was over the Jesuits contacted me. He said very hypocritically and irately that Your people are killing our people.  I said to him, “You have never seen one of our missionaries raise a weapon against any of you or even to defend themselves.” This seemed to stun him but it was true and he didn't argue the point. I said you only have a couple of choices here. Either the JW's are warring against you again or the angels of God are killing you. He couldn't take that the angels were killing them because that would make him and his religion evil. I knew the angels were defending the missionaries. I asked one of my angels what was happening.  He said when the Jesuit mob gets too close to hiding missionaries we drop them. I said are there any marks on them? He said, No, so I said, to this Jesuit leader “there is no physical marks on them that is the angels and they don't make mistakes or do evil”. They killed that evil man and the Jesuits made a mask of him and put it on a turncoat and they killed him too. And for you the listener today and your understanding, the angels do not live in time and they know every person who is chosen from the foundation of the world and do not harm them. Now I tell you it is the same with the DS and their leaders. Nobody can tell the angels to do anything that is against God's will. After warning DS leaders who then ignored them,, the angels have fed them to the sharks and given some their own monkeypox. For 53 years I have worked every day to save people from sin and that is my heart. I wait expectantly for the Soloman (peaceful) Man-child ministry to come when the peace is won by the David Man-child ministry. We are almost there. Watch Out For, Protect & Save the Children. S*****c Worshippers & Their Secretive Covens Exist Across the Globe Perhaps Even in Your Neighborhood & Right Next Door. Pray them down for they have plans to destroy Christianity. Tues. 17 Sept. 2024 “The Storm Is Here: Hidden Bunkers Raided, Children Rescued, and the Deep State Exposed” …Ben Fulford on Telegram The Deep State's grip on our nation is weakening as their secrets come to light. The truth, long concealed, is now emerging, and the powerful are scrambling to maintain control. Brave actions are peeling back the layers of deception, revealing the sinister operations that have kept the American people in the dark for too long. February 18, 2024: The Georgetown Raid: Tension filled the air in Georgetown, Washington, DC, as Unit X, a group of elite military personnel with trained Belgian Malinois, stormed a hidden bunker beneath the city's streets. Inside, they uncovered horrors orchestrated by the Deep State—47 children were rescued, and high-profile arrests followed, including a sitting congressman. The mainstream media remained silent, complicit in covering up this monumental event. Operation Eclipse Exposed: March 15, 2024 marked another victory against the Deep State. Leaked documents from a private intelligence firm in Langley, Virginia, exposed “Operation Eclipse,” a plan to fracture the nation through media manipulation and engineered social unrest. The Deep State aimed to bring America to its knees, paving the way for martial law. However, Trump's executive orders from 2020 thwarted this sinister plot just in time. FEMA Camps Revealed: On June 22, 2024, a whistleblower from the Department of Homeland Security risked everything to reveal that FEMA camps, supposedly for natural disasters, were being used as holding facilities for political dissidents and t********d children. Satellite imagery and intercepted communications confirmed these camps' existence in remote areas of Nevada and Montana, exposing the Deep State's depravity. The Silicon Valley “S*****e”: August 8, 2024, saw the mysterious death of a tech billionaire in his Silicon Valley mansion. The official story—s*****e—was a lie. This billionaire, a key financial architect of the Deep State, had been funding operations to undermine Trump's efforts to drain the swamp. Unit X had been monitoring him, and when they struck, they ensured he could no longer threaten the nation. This was not a s*****e but an execution in the war against those who seek to destroy America. The Banksters Exposed Fast forward to September 8, 2024. The pace is accelerating. Switzerland—long a safe haven for the cabal's dirty money—is under siege. The Swiss National Bank has been exposed as a laundering operation for the Rothschilds, CIA, and Mossad. Billions have flowed through these accounts, funding bioweapons research and secret space operations. The Great Awakening is in full swing. Leaks are flooding the internet, exposing Swiss banks as the heartbeat of the devil's operation. They've manipulated currencies, hoarded gold, and funded wars they claimed to mediate. But the reckoning is here. The White Hats and Q Ops, with the Space Force, have intercepted more than just financial transactions. They have the blackmail archives—the files that kept politicians, CEOs, and Hollywood stars in line. These are the secrets that have protected the cabal's sick agenda for too long. Epstein was only the beginning. His island was the hub for t*********g and a***e, but now, Trump's knowledge of these operations is a weapon against the elite. The mainstream media won't tell you this, but Trump's Sovereign Wealth Fund is the declaration of war against the Rothschild's debt-slavery system. The Federal Reserve is crumbling. $3 trillion in hidden reserves have been uncovered. These funds, stolen from the American people, were used to fund global chaos—from fake pandemics to weather manipulation. Yes, they've been playing God with storms, controlling droughts and earthquakes to instill fear and control. The Deep State's Final Struggle: The Deep State is in full retreat, but the battle is far from over. Every day, new revelations expose the extent of their crimes and influence. The fight for the soul of America is entering its most critical phase. The deep state's reach extends into every facet of society—government, media, corporations, and institutions once trusted to protect us. They have manipulated and controlled us through fear and division for years, but 2024 marks the turning point. The Tide Is Turning: The Storm is here, and the Deep State is running scared. They are not invincible, and the tide is turning. The hunters have become the hunted. Every action they take is monitored, every plot countered, and every secret exposed. The deep state's time is running out, and the final, decisive blow is coming. NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden has just blown the lid off a terrifying agenda hidden deep in Alaska. Documents reveal that HAARP, which they claimed was about “scientific research,” is in reality a weapon designed to control and manipulate humanity on a global scale. HAARP's Dark Purpose: For years, the military has disguised HAARP as a research station, keeping its true mission hidden from the public. According to Snowden's leaks, HAARP is no innocent experiment—it's a weapon of mass manipulation, targeting people's brains, causing what seem like natural deaths—strokes, heart attacks. This is more than a conspiracy theory. It's happening now, right under our noses. Mind Control at an Unimaginable Level: Snowden revealed that HAARP can remotely control the minds of those who speak out, turning people into irrational, “crazy” individuals in the eyes of the world. Their goal? Silencing dissenters, using these frequency waves to make their opposition crumble from within. Think about it—the world leaders, media moguls, and CEOs you see on TV are just puppets, controlled through advanced technology. Ever wonder why some of the most powerful voices for truth go silent overnight? The Smoking Gun – Proof of HAARP's Control: These documents aren't just hearsay. Snowden shared secret emails from top military officials confirming the horrific truth behind HAARP's operations. This is no longer speculation—it's fact. You're either awake or you're being played. They want you docile, blind, and submissive, all while the elite pull the strings behind the scenes. HAARP's Reach – More Than Just Alaska: It's not just Alaska. There are multiple HAARP facilities worldwide. In Sweden, Russia, even beneath the cover of cell towers right here at home. They've built a global network to keep their control tight.  WARNING!!! At This Very Moment in New York UN Global Elites Were Positioning Themselves To Completely Control People of the World via Passage of the Global Digital Compact, or the Illuminati's Great Reset (Pray this down) Meanwhile… On Monday Trump Announced the Launch of World Liberty Financial Crypto Exchange, the Apparent Precursor to 130 Sovereign Countries' Gold/Asset-Backed Global Currency Reset Which Ensured The People Would Have Complete Control Over Their Own Monies & Provided Freedom From Debt For All …. Checkmate!!! Judy Note: We're sitting on the edge of a Global Blackout and Emergency Broadcast System (EBS) Activation, where normal communication will cease for ten days. It's called Operation Stormbreaker – the greatest Sting Operation ever. Military Units have been mobilizing Worldwide for a coordinated military strike to obliterate the Globalist Power Structure. “It's only wise to have at least a month's supply of food, water, cash, medicine and essential items on hand for yourself, your family and to share with others in case of emergency.” Judy Note: Right now the 79th U.N. General Assembly was meeting in New York to consider putting their stamp of approval on a document called the Global Digital Compact. If passed, the Compact would give the U.N. Secretary-General totalitarian control over all people across the Globe, overriding governments and trampling individual freedoms. (I believe Our annulling of this will last till mid trib.) A non-elected Deep State UN official could demand every person on the planet implant digital IDs and vaccine passports on their person for the sole purpose of Deep State surveillance. Worse, the tattooed ID some define as the Mark of Cain, would give those Globalists control over individual bank accounts, and lives. Without compliance, you would be nothing—unable to work, unable to live. Sound familiar? This will not happen now but mid-trib  The UN Deep State Cabal would have the power to declare at their will, global emergencies, lockdowns and travel restrictions. – a perfect plan for implementation of the Illuminati's New World Order. The Global Military Alliance does have it all. They have overtaken the Z******s and Elites who pull the strings of the World —those at the very top had fallen: the 13 Illuminati families, Vatican, Royal Families, Rothschilds, Rockefellers, Gates, Obama, Clintons – were under White Hat control even if they, or their clones, or perhaps actors behind sophisticated masks, still paraded around in public like nothing happened. As head of the Global Military Alliance President Trump has either replaced or had control over them all. He's the true ruler now, and not just of America, but over the entire world. Like Trump, President Kennedy knew all about the CIA Child S*x T*********g Ring Operations and the Deep State Military using s*x operations to blackmail politicians, that then controlled health, education, Mainstream Media, music and film industries, along with foreign government officials who were connected to Money Laundering Operations and the Global Financial System. That's why this Deep State Cabal assassinated Lincoln, and tried to assassinate JFK, Trump and others because these Patriots  were trying to give taxpayer monies back to The People. It was why the Q Movement was formed and now operating at full speed That bubble was set to burst on Wed. 20 Nov. 2024 with the start of Nuremberg Trials 2.0 which were bound to reveal all. Pray down the new plagues Another bubble was popping across the Globe by way of more planned epidemics. On Tues. 17 Sept. 2024 in what appeared to be very strange coincidences, a new C***d strain known as “XEC” was announced as rapidly spreading across Europe. First identified in Germany in June, cases of the XEC variant have since been detected in the UK, US, Denmark and several other countries. Also on Tues. the Deep State tried to declare a Bird Flu epidemic in Democratic Colorado as the state announced a State of Emergency, while at the same time the CCP in Singapore launched a quarantine and vaccination campaign (This is the real threat) for Monkeypox: https://www.newstarget.com/2024-09-16-singapore-launches-quarantine-and-vaccination-campaign-monkeypox.html Tues. 17 Sept. 2024: ALERT!

The People's Voice Video – amg-news.com – American Media Group 2016 Haitian Reporter: “Where is the money Hillary Clinton raised with the Clinton foundation? Haiti did not get even 2%. The whole world has given billions. They say Bill Clinton & Hillary Clinton stole it. So, Mr. Trump, we are asking you, begging you, the Haitian community will side with you if one day you ask Hillary Clinton publicly to disclose the audit of all the money they have stolen from Haiti in 2010 after the earthquake” Tues. 17 Sept. 2024 Texas: Governor Abbott has created a new Strike Team bringing in drones, helicopters, K9, Texas Rangers, special agents, aircraft, Swat Team and enforced Officers to confront gang violence in Texas. On Monday 20 Venezuelan Gang members were arrested and the governor was now seeking to confiscate their properties. BREAKING! Texas Gov. Greg Abbott designates Venezuelan gang, Tren de Aragua as a foreign terrorist organization and says Texas will use the courts to halt the operations and will use asset forfeiture to take their property while working to keep them in jail longer. The governor says there is no database to identify TdA members, TxDPS will be working with other law enforcement to create the a database from scratch. Gov. Abbott says the gang is trying to get a foothold in Texas but he's not going to let that happen. The governor annoying that the Gateway Hotel in El Paso has been shut down following an injunction via the county attorney. Governor Abbott says 20 suspected TdA gang members were arrested as a result of operations in and around the hotel. Meanwhile, the Biden/Harris Administration was providing Venezuelan migrants with over $18,000 in food stamps, funding that came from US taxpayer money.

Not much that can be done now – registration rolls are padded, mail ballots will be generated. …David Nino Rodreguez on Telegram William Rodríguez, famously dubbed “The Last Man Out,” was a janitor on 9/11 who heroically saved lives by unlocking doors with a master key. However, when he began speaking about explosions in the basement before the planes hit, he was swiftly ignored and even pressured by the FBI to stay silent. Despite his firsthand account, his testimony was never included in the 9/11 Commission Report. Trump's golf outing was a last minute decision. Yet, Routh was already hiding in the bushes, waiting for Trump to walk by on the golf course with his GoPro camera set up for the “perfect shot.” How did this well trained killer make it that far by himself and how did he know where Trump would be? How did Routh know Trump would be out golfing at that exact time and at that exact place on the golf course? I was told by the Lord when I asked this same question, “Laura Loomer” and the angels gave her to the Alliance. This is a deep state very sexy plant who travels by plane everywhere the Rally Trump goes and knows his plans. The real Trump is safe and faithful to his wife. Why did Democrat Left leaning Time Magazine on 9/11 come out with a cover that had a picture of Trump in a Golf Cart going down a sand hole with the word “Trouble” to the side of him? They were told by the DS their plan, Why did Democrat Left leaning CNN now come out to say that the shots WERE in fact, directed at Trump after they originally reported that this was an isolated incident and Trump wasn't in danger. Oops the truth got out, had to cover themselves. Why did both of Trump's assailants appear in a Deep State Cabal BlackRock ad prior to their assassination attempts? Apparently, several Secret Service agents returned fire at both of the recent Trump Assassination Attempts shooters. All of them then fled, and were apprehended or k****d shortly after. The fact that the FBI, Homeland Security, US Secret Service and or local Police allowed two or more people with AK-47s in an active firefight anywhere close to where Trump was speaking or golfing was very alarming to say the least. Golfing opens up too much unwatched territory for shooters. I'm only an outside observer, but with Trump head of the Global Military Alliance which was arresting thousands of corrupt Deep State Globalists, it's pretty obvious to me that the two recent Trump Assassination Attempts were Homeland Security- FBI-Biden Administration Inside Jobs. But of course, those were the very agencies that held the power and were required to “investigate” the incidents, so why should we worry? Don't worry, act and speak faith! And, why should we worry that the U.N. was positioning itself to be the center of Global control with undefined powers? After all, only our Freedoms were at stake. The Lord is sovereign over the beast. Let Him speak through you “Trust The Plan. Pray: Sunday's second Trump Assassination Attempt was believed to be a Homeland Security-FBI Inside Job – which brings us closer to the Big Bang Three Day Event. We are just waiting for the Green Light for Starlink to send an Emergency Broadcast Alert to all cell phones worldwide. As corrupt governments fall and Mass Arrests are made, a Ten Day Communications Blackout Event will bring in the new Quantum Financial System and GCR, NESARA/ GESARA implementation. After which will arise the unbelievably fast Quantum Internet with secure bank accounts and transparent Quantum Voting that restore Freedom and Democracy, along with Trumpsara for lean and efficient governments manned by honest Patriots and free Med Bed treatments that create healthy and free societies worldwide.” … The 17th Letter (JFK Jr.) on Telegram Mon. 16 Sept. 2024 McAfee Software has been used by the Global Military Alliance to infiltrate the inner sanctums of governmental bodies, elite individuals and global military entities. It serves as a covert operative revealing a labyrinth of corruption, concealed agendas, human t*********g, planned military coups, and international money laundering operations.

Judy Byington: Sunday's Second Trump Assassination Attempt Believed To Be A Homeland Security-FBI Inside Job! Restored Republic via a GCR: Update as of Mon. 16 Sept. 2024 – amg-news.com – American Media Group As of today, September 17, 2024, military transports have been spotted landing at Nellis Air Force Base and Fort Bragg. Insiders report this is Phase One of a larger operation targeting key deep state strongholds in Washington, D.C., New York, Los Angeles, and beyond. The Pentagon is done waiting for compromised bureaucrats. Orders are coming directly from a clandestine command center deep within Cheyenne Mountain. And it's not just the U.S.—forces overseas are joining the fight. Bases in Germany and Italy are preparing for joint operations with loyal NATO factions. The global purge is about to begin. The elites are panicking. Private jets have been tracked flying into remote hideouts—they're running scared. CEOs are stepping down, politicians are “retiring,” but there's no escape. The storm is here, and it will show no mercy. Possible Timing: Mon. 16 Sept. 2024 John F. Kennedy Jr. (The vice-President) on Telegram: In one week everything will change. The channels everyone has been waiting for will publish devastating information that is kept secret from the public. A big scandal happened this week, so we have it all. Donald Trump has promised. Sat. 14 Sept. 2024 On EBS Activation …Q Trump on Telegram: Absolutely no time frame has been given for EBS Activation. No one knows when it will happen, other than it will occur at the top of the hour. It was designed this way for a reason. When it happens you are to follow EBS instructions to the letter. Be ready for 3-6 weeks where everyone will be home. There is no reason to panic as everything has been factored in. Sun. 15 Sept. 2024 EBS: The Moment We've Been Waiting For …John F. Kennedy Jr. on Telegram U.S. Military Alert: All military forces worldwide are preparing to suspend all media, internet, phone, and TV services. Emergency services will stay active, but everything else is about to go dark. During this time, no internet, no ATMs, and phones only working for 911 calls. This is the Global Martial Law we've been talking about, and it comes with a 10-day communication blackout. (It's been said Signal will be operational. I read the grid may be sabotaged. If so an adapter to charge your phone from the cigarette lighter in your car is cheap; maybe $3. Also Tesla Free Energy may go up.) But here's the kicker: the Emergency Broadcast System will be activated worldwide. Nonstop, 24/7, 8-hour documentaries exposing the darkest secrets of the elite—fraud, corruption, pedophilia, and their arrests—will play three times a day. The truth will be unleashed. The military is taking down Cabal-controlled governments worldwide, executing mass arrests based on 500,000 sealed indictments. This is the moment we've been fighting for.

But don't be fooled by the so-called “peace.” This is no ordinary treaty. It's a trap for the enemy. They surrendered a long time ago, but it hasn't been announced. Why? Because we are in the final stages of a secret war. Yes, it might look like Trump is working with Z*****t enemies in Israel, but the truth is the Global Alliance has already overtaken them. The elites pulling the strings—those at the very top—have already fallen. The Rothschilds, the Rockefellers, Gates, they are all under control now, even if they still parade around in public like nothing happened. Trump isn't collaborating with them—he's replaced them. He's the true ruler now, and not just of America, but over the entire world. He took down the puppet masters and claimed the throne. The Z******s and their lackeys have no choice but to obey. The king has returned! The light is coming! But remember, this is a game of strategy. In war, you don't reveal your hand until it's time for the final blow. Right now, Trump is holding all the cards. You need to hold the line, keep your poker face. The storm hasn't passed—it's building. In the end, we'll see who really won.

In Rev 3:11 Jesus reassures the church in Philadelphia that He is coming soon, and that they should hold fast to what they have. Grown-ups often use the word soon to reassure kids that they understand the current situation, and can see that a solution is on the horizon. Waiting for Jesus is hard, and can feel like it is taking too long, but Jesus promises to return soon, and not to take forever.

In this week's study, I finish Chapter 20. Before I get into the study, I talk about the effects of the illegal immigrants crossing our southern border I our school system with the overcrowding of students and how effects classroom learning. Also the cost effects that burdens the tax payers.  9   The final defeat of the devil (Revelation 20:9-10) Zechariah 14:16-19 shows clearly that, at this time, the nations should be coming to Jerusalem. That is what Yahweh has commanded them to do. And they went up on the breadth of the earth = They, those allies with Satan, spread over the earth in extended columns.And compassed the camp of the saints about = Besieged the camp of the saints considered as engaged in war, or as attacked by an enemy.And the beloved city = Jerusalem - a city represented as beloved by Yahweh and by his people.And fire came down from Yahweh out of heaven, and devoured them - Consumed them - fire being represented as devouring or eating. See Rev. 17:1610   Was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone = In Rev. 19:20, it is said of the beast and the false prophet that they were “cast alive into a lake of fire, burning with brimstone.” Satan, on the other hand, instead of being doomed at once to that final ruin, was confined for a season in a dark abyss, Rev. 20:1-3. We now come to the last of these final five judgment scenes— of the Great White Throne.11           And I saw a great white throne, = "great," is distinction from the other thrones mentioned in this book, and that of chapter 4:2-6. That was set "in heaven." This is seen in the last Vision "on earth"; as were also the throne in the fourth verse.From whose face = Or, from whose presence12           And I saw the dead, small and great = All the deadStand before Yahweh = That is, they appear thus to be judged.And the books were opened = That is, the books containing the record of human deeds.And another book was opened, which is the book of life = The book containing the record of the names of all who shall enter into life, or into heaven.And the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books = The records which had been made of their deeds.According to their works = See the notes on 2Corin. 5:1013           And the sea gave up the dead which were in it = All that had been buried in the depths of ocean.14.         And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire = Death and Hades (hell) are here personified, as they are in the previous verse.15           And whosoever was not found written in the Book of Life was cast into the lake of fire. = The book of life was the registry of the approved of Yahweh. The names not found in it were not a part of Yahweh's called and chosen people--they belonged to the society opposed to the church/ek-kelsia.Don't end up like those in Hosea 4:6 ‘My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God (Elohim), I will also forget thy children.'But, be like those in 2Timothy 2:15 ‘Study to shew thyself approved unto God (Yahweh), a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.'Join me as we go Chapter by Chapter, Verse by Verse, Unraveling the Words of Yahweh! Have any questions?

God's Word for Today14 Aug, 2024Mark 14:32-42 ESV MY SOUL IS VERY SORROWFULIn the garden of Gethsemane[meaning oil press], Jesus brought His disciples for the last time. He went there to pray. While He let the others sit, he brought along with Him Peter, James and John a little further to be with Him. They were His intimate disciples. Why? He was greatly distressed and troubled. His soul is sorrowful. Did He feel a weakness that He needed company? Yes, but He did not commit any sin.[Heb 4:15] The word "sorrowful" is from the Greek root word ‘perilupos' and is also translated "deeply grieved" and "overwhelmed with sorrow." Is it not true the Jesus has suffered the worse hardship than anyone else experienced in the world? He received the wrath of God. Like Jesus, we have to acknowledge our most agonizing feelings while obeying God who placed us on this path. Let us not deny our pain but not as one without hope. Jesus was so distraught. He was not overreacting to His suffering, was He? In fact, He sweats so profusely the sweat drops are like drops of blood (Luke 22:44). As He prays, an angel comes to comfort Him (Luke 22:43). He knows He would experience the abandonment from His Father and he felt the gravity of God's wrath. Are we going to minimize the agony He feels bearing the weight of our sins and watching His Father turn away from Him? How did he demonstrate His agony? He fell to the ground, and prayed that if it were possible, the hour might pass from him.[v.35]He knew the implications of the ‘cup' from God. Firstly, one's "cup" is referring to one's lot in life, whether good or bad. When Jesus gives the cup to the disciples at the Lord's Supper, they are taking on the life His blood provides, both the persecution that comes to His followers (Mark 10:38–39) and everlasting life in paradise (Mark 14:23–24).One more concept of "the cup" is that it is a spiritual symbol for God's wrath. In Rev 14:10, there is a description depicting the fate of those who take on the mark of the beast. That is, "he also will drink the wine of God's wrath, poured full strength into the cup of his anger…" This is the "cup" that Jesus takes on the cross for believers. It's only logical that He would want to avoid it, but He finishes His prayer submitting to the wishes of His Father.Today, we relish to the reality that God is able to understand our pains. Jesus has been there. As Psa 34:18 says,“The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit.”Watch in YouTube: https://youtu.be/lPuuvKVODmgListen and FOLLOW us on our podcastSpotify: http://bit.ly/glccfil_spotify Apple Podcast: http://bit.ly/glccfil-applepcast Google Podcast: http://bit.ly/glccfil-googlepcastAudible Podcast: http://bit.ly/glccfil-audibleFollow us on various media platforms: https://gospellightfilipino.contactin.bio#gospellightfilipino#godswordfortoday#bookofMark

Rev with a difference Jamie Franklin sits down with Premier League and all-round legend Matthew Le Tissier. They spoke about Matt's life, his career as a top football professional with Southampton and England and his subsequent life as a pundit, after-dinner speaker, and very good golf player. They also covered Matt's decision to air his views on the Covid situation, his sacking by Sky Sports, and his inside take on what Premier League players really think about the politicisation of football. They touched on Matt's recently found Christian faith and where this fits into what he sees as a societal and cosmic battle between good and evil.In Rev'd Jamie's monologue, he provides a Christian interpretation of recents events in the US and the CofE's latest 'guidance' on teaching transgender ideology in their schools, and he answers a couple of emails on how Christians should engage under the new Labour regime and the thorny question of hell.Please Support!Support us on Patreon (https://www.patreon.com/irreverend) or Buy Me a Coffee (https://www.buymeacoffee.com/irreverend).

Hurricane beryl was originally supposed to strike Corpus Christi, Texas, but changed course to make landfall in Matagorda. Beryl is a precious stone of the emerald variety and Corpus Christ is the corpse or body of Christ. Matagorda means 'fat kill', something we find reference to throughout the Bible in the form of sacrifices. The book of Daniel describes a man with a body like beryl, shining bright, which many believe is a pre-incarnate appearance of Christ. In Revelation 21 it is said that emerald is one of the foundations of the New Jerusalem. In Rev 4 a rainbow shining like an emerald surrounded the throne in heaven. A rainbow and emerald are also key symbols in the Wonderful Wizard of Oz, written by Frank Baum, the theosophist. Although many think the Emerald City is Wallstreet and the Wizard a banker, the golden road and city are actually descriptions of heaven in Rev 21, which says "The great street of the city was of gold, as pure as transparent glass." The scarecrow, tin man, and lion are symbols of the vegetable, mineral, and animal bodies. We find similar references to the emerald thorough the world, from Hinduism to Chinese magic, to Islam. -FREE ARCHIVE & RSS: https://www.spreaker.com/show/the-secret-teachingsTwitter: https://twitter.com/TST___RadioFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/thesecretteachingsWEBSITE (BOOKS, RESUBSCRIBE for early show access): http://thesecretteachings.infoPaypal: rdgable@yahoo.comCashApp: $rdgableBuy Me a Coffee: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/tstradioSUBSCRIBE TO NETWORK: http://aftermath.mediaEMAIL: rdgable@yahoo.com / TSTRadio@protonmail.com

Blessings Follow Sanctification (6)  (audio)  David Eells (7/7/24)  We've been studying sanctification and its resulting blessing, and we've seen that the Church and the Bride are coming to such great maturity in their sanctification that they are as (Isa.62:1) … as a lamp that burneth. All of the true Church is going to grow 30-, 60- and 100-fold in the fruit of Jesus Christ, and the Bride gloriously comes into His image, as we studied in Isaiah 62. But Isaiah 63 is a different story because it tells you about those who are not sanctified.   I'd like to back up a little bit first and review what I shared about last time. (Isa.63:1) Who is this that cometh from Edom, with dyed garments from Bozrah? this that is glorious in his apparel, marching in the greatness of his strength? I that speak in righteousness, mighty to save. (2) Wherefore art thou red in thine apparel, and thy garments like him that treadeth in the winevat? (3) I have trodden the winepress alone; and of the peoples there was no man with me: yea, I trod them in mine anger, and trampled them in my wrath; and their lifeblood is sprinkled upon my garments, and I have stained all my raiment. We noticed in Revelation 19 that the Lord does come back with a garment that is sprinkled with blood and it is the blood of His enemies.   The enemy that He is speaking about in this chapter is Edom. He is coming from Bozrah of Edom and bozrah means “sheepfold.” We saw in our previous study that the Lord Jesus came to the sheepfold in a time when the Old Testament Church was very apostate and He called His sheep by name and led them out of the sheepfold. Shortly after that, those people who refused to come out of their apostate sheepfold were hardened and rejected, and then the Beast came and devoured the Harlot. We know that same history is going to repeat in our day and this is who Isaiah 63 is talking about; it's talking about the Harlot. We also learned that Edom, or the seed of Esau, represents the opposite of Jacob. (Gen.25:29) And Jacob boiled pottage: and Esau came in from the field, and he was faint:   (30) and Esau said to Jacob, Feed me, I pray thee, with that same red [pottage]; for I am faint: therefore was his name called Edom. (31) And Jacob said, Sell me first thy birthright. (32) And Esau said, Behold, I am about to die: and what profit shall the birthright do to me? (33) And Jacob said, Swear to me first; and he sware unto him: and he sold his birthright unto Jacob. (34) And Jacob gave Esau bread and pottage of lentils; and he did eat and drink, and rose up, and went his way: so Esau despised his birthright. At the time when Esau decided to sell his birthright, he was called “Edom,” which means “red,” and “red” is the color of sin. As it says in (Isa.1:18) Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.   Remember what it says in Hebrews. (Heb.12:14) Follow after peace with all men, and the sanctification without which no man shall see the Lord (When Jacob was sanctified, or separated, from Esau, he bore so much fruit that it shocked his brother.): (Heb.12:15) looking carefully lest [there be] any man that falleth short of the grace of God (Many people fall short of the grace of God for the same reason that Esau fell short of the grace of God.); lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble [you,] and thereby the many be defiled.... A root of bitterness will defile many people because a person who has it will export it and Esau certainly did. If nothing else, he exported it to all of his seed because the sins of the parents are passed on to the children to the third and fourth generation (Deuteronomy 5:9).   When a person sins by allowing a demonic spirit of bitterness, or criticism, or unforgiveness toward their brother, which was Esau's problem, then that sin is passed on to their seed. The sin of Esau is the sin of the Edomites, whom the Lord says He will destroy, He will trample (Isaiah 63:3). “The many be defiled” is what happened from Esau's sin and even today there are Esaus, so Paul warns us that we need to make sure that no one falls after that same example of disobedience. Esau was the brother of Jacob and he was a son of Abraham, and he represented a son of God, but still he sold his birthright because of this root of bitterness. (Heb.12:16) Lest [there be] any fornicator, or profane person (We discovered that “profane” here means “permitted to be trodden.” In other words, this is someone who was “trampled underfoot,” someone who was conquered by his spiritual enemies.), as Esau, who for one mess of meat (I liken that to “flesh” because I don't think it was an accident that they used the word “meat” there.) sold his own birthright.   Because he walked after the flesh, because he submitted to these spirits of criticism, anger and bitterness against his brother, Esau sold his own birthright. (Heb.12:17) For ye know that even when he afterward desired to inherit the blessing, he was rejected; for he found no place for a change of mind [in his father] (Literally, it doesn't say “in his father,” but “found no place for a change of mind.” The phrase “change of mind” is the Greek word metanoia and it means “repentance.” Esau could not repent and we saw in 2 Peter 2 that unrepentant people can't cease from sin.), though he sought it diligently with tears.   He found no forgiveness in himself, he found no repentance in his life and he could not cease from sinning because he was bitter. He was turned over to the tormentors and the tormentors made him what he was. Jesus told us in, (Mat.18:32) Then his lord called him unto him, and saith to him, Thou wicked servant, I forgave thee all that debt, because thou besoughtest me: (33) shouldest not thou also have had mercy on thy fellow-servant, even as I had mercy on thee? (34) And his lord was wroth, and delivered him to the tormentors, till he should pay all that was due. (35) So shall also my heavenly Father do unto you, if ye forgive not every one his brother from your hearts.   When we see that the people whom the Lord is judging here is Edom, we are not seeing the whole story. Edom specifically represents those who are brothers of Jacob and sons of Abraham, whether physical or spiritual, but who sell their birthright through walking after the flesh and go on to persecute their brother. In the case of Edom, they sell their birthright because of bitterness. The whole story is found in Revelation 19, where He is judging all of the nations at the time of the wrath of God. (Rev.19:11) And I saw the heaven opened; and behold, a white horse, and he that sat thereon called Faithful and True; and in righteous he doth judge and make war. (12) And his eyes [are] a flame of fire, and upon his head [are] many diadems; and he hath a name written which no one knoweth but he himself. (13) And he is arrayed in a garment sprinkled with blood: and his name is called The Word of God.   (14) And the armies which are in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white [and] pure. (15) And out of his mouth proceedeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness of the wrath of God, the Almighty. (16) And he hath on his garment and on his thigh a name written, KINGS OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS. Also, notice how He uses the same language in Isaiah. (Isa.63:3) I have trodden the winepress alone; and of the peoples there was no man with me: yea, I trod them in mine anger, and trampled them in my wrath; and their lifeblood is sprinkled upon my garments, and I have stained all my raiment. (4) For the day of vengeance was in my heart, and the year of my redeemed is come.   What is this “day of vengeance”? What is this “day of wrath”? And what is the “year of my redeemed”? Well, the “day of vengeance” and the “day of wrath” are the same day. They are a day that we're told is a year; they are the “year of my redeemed,” when God is judging all those who have persecuted His people. (Isa.34:8) For the Lord hath a day of vengeance, a year of recompense for the cause of Zion. (9) And the streams of [Edom] shall be turned into pitch, and the dust thereof into brimstone, and the land thereof shall become burning pitch. In the days of Noah, God brought His wrath upon the earth and this “day of wrath” was the year in which the flood waters were upon the earth to destroy lost mankind (Genesis 6-8).   God told Noah, (Gen.7:4) For yet seven days, and I will cause it to rain upon the earth forty days and forty nights; and every living thing that I have made will I destroy from off the face of the ground. So after seven days the flood waters came. In type, the flood represents the “great and terrible day of the Lord” (Joel 2:31 KJV) that comes after seven years of the Tribulation. And we can see this again in Daniel's 70th week where each day is a year. (Dan.9:27) And he shall make a firm covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease; and upon the wing of abominations [shall come] one that maketh desolate; and even unto the full end, and that determined, shall [wrath] be poured out upon the desolate.   There was a continual wrath from the Edomites against Israel and here we see in Isaiah 63 that God is judging this. The spiritual Edomites today cannot stand holiness, they cannot stand purity, they cannot stand truth and they are just like Esau, who continually persecuted his brother. A great persecution is coming from the religious Harlot against the true Church and the Lord is going to deal with that in the “day of vengeance” or “day of wrath.” It will be the “great and terrible day of the Lord” (Jeremiah 46:10; Joel 2:11,31; Acts 2:20; 1 Thessalonians 5:2; 2 Peter 3:10).   Another thing that's going to happen before this “day of vengeance” is that there's going to be a great “falling way” (John 16:1; 2 Thessalonians 2:3; Hebrews 3:12) and, as a matter of fact, in Revelation 6 it is very plain. (Rev.6:12) And I saw when he opened the sixth seal, and there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the whole moon became as blood. We know that the sun shall be turned into darkness and the moon into blood before the “great and terrible day of the Lord,” which is a year, as we've seen in Isaiah 34:8.   The Bible also says that the sun shall be turned into darkness and the moon into blood after the Tribulation period. (Mat.24:29) But immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken. (Act.2:20) The sun shall be turned into darkness, And the moon into blood, Before the day of the Lord come, That great and notable [day]. In other words, after the seven days, which is exactly what God told Noah, there would be another year. Between the seventh and eighth year, the sun is turned into darkness and the moon into blood, but at the beginning of the eighth year is when the ark lifted off and the floods came down and judged the world.   So when the sun and the moon are darkened, which is the beginning of the great and terrible Day of the Lord, what happens? (Rev.6:13) And the stars of the heaven fell unto the earth, as a fig tree casteth her unripe figs when she is shaken of a great wind. That's when the “stars” of heaven fall to the earth and we're told Abraham's seed are as the stars of heaven. (Gen.15:5) And he brought him forth abroad, and said, Look now toward heaven, and number the stars, if thou be able to number them: and he said unto him, So shall thy seed be. And Scripture also likens God's people to a fig tree (Jeremiah 29:17; Matthew 24:1-10; Isaiah 28:4; Nahum 3:12; etc.)   Also in (Hos.9:10) I found Israel like grapes in the wilderness; I saw your fathers as the first ripe in the fig-tree at its first season: but they came to Baal-peor, and consecrated themselves unto the shameful thing, and became abominable like that which they loved. So then, who is this who's falling away? As a type and shadow, these are the Edomites. Even though they are as the stars in heaven, they still will fall away. (Rev.6:13) And the stars of the heaven fell unto the earth, as a fig tree casteth her unripe figs when she is shaken of a great wind. You see, we have only a certain amount of time to become mature, to bear fruit, to be ripe figs.   What is it that's going to cause this great falling away? We read in (Rev.6:13) And the stars of the heaven fell unto the earth, as a fig tree casteth her unripe figs when she is shaken of a great wind. God said that He would “shake” the heavens and the earth. (Heb.12:26) Whose voice then shook the earth: but now he hath promised, saying, Yet once more will I make to tremble not the earth only, but also the heaven. This shaking is the one that is coming and it both causes the falling away and brings in the Kingdom. (Rev.6:14) And the heaven was removed as a scroll when it is rolled up; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places.   (15) And the kings of the earth, and the princes, and the chief captains, and the rich, and the strong, and every bondman and freeman, hid themselves in the caves and in the rocks of the mountains; (16) and they say to the mountains and to the rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb: (17) for the great day of their wrath is come; and who is able to stand? So, again, when the sun and moon are darkened, we know that this is before the great and terrible Day of the Lord. (Mat.24:29) But immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken.   Then the Lord sends forth His angels and gathers together His elect as it says in, (Mat.13:24) Another parable set he before them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man that sowed good seed in his field: (25) but while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares also among the wheat, and went away. (26) But when the blade sprang up and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also. (27) And the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst thou not sow good seed in thy field? whence then hath it tares? (28) And he said unto them, An enemy hath done this. And the servants say unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up? (29) But he saith, Nay; lest haply while ye gather up the tares, ye root up the wheat with them.   (30) Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of the harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather up first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them; but gather the wheat into my barn. (36) Then he left the multitudes, and went into the house: and his disciples came unto him, saying, Explain unto us the parable of the tares of the field. (37) And he answered and said, He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man; (38) and the field is the world; and the good seed, these are the sons of the kingdom; and the tares are the sons of the evil [one]; (39) and the enemy that sowed them is the devil: and the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are angels.   (40) As therefore the tares are gathered up and burned with fire; so shall it be in the end of the world. (41) The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that cause stumbling, and them that do iniquity, (42) and shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth. (43) Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He that hath ears, let him hear. The Lord sends forth His angels and gathers together His elect, just like with Noah. Noah lifted off at the beginning of the “great and terrible day of the Lord,” which was the year when the water came down and put to death the wicked.   Obadiah has something to say about this Day of the Lord concerning the Edomites, but first I want to point out that he is talking about the time of the Day of the Lord. (Oba.15) For the day of the Lord is near upon all the nations: as thou hast done, it shall be done unto thee; thy dealing shall return upon thine own head. The Lord Jesus said when He came back, He was going to render to every man according to his works. (Mat.16:27) For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then shall he render unto every man according to his deeds. He said, “every man”! Some people think, “Well, that's not necessarily speaking about God's children,” but the Edomites sold their birthright as sons of God. I'm talking more specifically about the spiritual Edomites, those who are speaking against their brothers, those who are persecuting them as the Harlot persecutes the true Church.   And when the Lord comes back, He is going to render to those Edomites according to their works. (Oba.8) Shall I not in that day, saith the Lord, destroy the wise men out of Edom, and understanding out of the mount of Esau? The mount of Esau is Mount Seir, just as Mount Zion is the Mount of Israel, and it represents a kingdom, the kingdom of Esau. (Oba.9) And thy mighty men, O Teman, shall be dismayed, to the end that every one may be cut off from the mount of Esau by slaughter. Everyone! How is it possible that every Edomite could be cut off? It's possible when we understand that these Edomites are a type and shadow. (1Co.10:11) Now these things happened unto them by way of example (The Greek word for “example” here is “type” or “figure.”); and they were written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the ages are come.   “To the end that every one may be cut off from the mount of Esau by slaughter” is a type or figure; it's a parable. It was in the “letter” according to natural Israel, but is to be understood in the Spirit according to spiritual New Testament Israel. We also have our brothers who are persecuting, critical, unforgiving, bitter, railing against the truth and fighting against those who walk in holiness and sanctification. God is going to deal with them when He is through using them to bring His people to their cross and this is what He is talking about when He says He's going to cut off every one of them. If you're saying, “That will be a real slaughter against an awful lot of humans,” that's true, naturally speaking. Of course, that slaughter is coming in the great and terrible Day of the Lord, too. It's coming in the “flood” of judgment that is going to destroy multitudes of people. And that flood is also going to destroy these spiritual Edomites, those who have persecuted their brothers.   Going on in (Oba.10) For the violence done to thy brother Jacob, shame shall cover thee, and thou shalt be cut off forever. (11) In the day that thou stoodest on the other side, in the day that strangers carried away his substance, and foreigners entered into his gates, and cast lots upon Jerusalem, even thou wast as one of them. In other words, the Edomites sided with the Beast kingdoms that came against Israel; this is a historic fact. They did this constantly. Herod was an Edomite who was put there by the Romans to rule over Israel and they called it “Palestine” to insult the Israelites because there wasn't really a Palestine; the land belonged to Israel. “Palestine” is the Latin version of the name “Philistine.”   Once again, in our day, brethren from our midst will side with the Beast kingdom against us, just as Judas did from the midst of the disciples. He sided with the Beast and betrayed the body of Christ. (Oba.12) But look not thou on the day of thy brother in the day of his disaster, and rejoice not over the children of Judah in the day of their destruction; neither speak proudly in the day of distress. (13) Enter not into the gate of my people in the day of their calamity; yea, look not thou on their affliction in the day of their calamity, neither lay ye hands on their substance in the day of their calamity. (14) And stand thou not in the crossway, to cut off those of his that escape; and deliver not up those of his that remain in the day of distress. That's exactly what Judas did; he delivered up Christ to the Beast.   In the previous teaching, I shared a dream concerning soldiers dressed in red uniforms, who parachuted down from heaven and were trying to block God's people from escaping into the wilderness. It was very interesting and that is actually what Obadiah is saying here. Those soldiers dressed in red are Edomites because, as we saw, “Edom” means “red.” And they were parachuting down because they were like those figs being cast down when a fig tree is shaken of a great wind and like the stars of heaven falling to the earth. This is a great falling away about which the Bible speaks and it will come through deception and delusion. And who can fall away, except a people who have known the Lord? Here was Esau, a son of Abraham, a son of God, who was in the position of the firstborn and yet he fell away.   We see this again in Ezekiel concerning the Edomites being betrayers of their brethren and it also appears very much like the destruction of the Harlot. Let's read that in (Eze.35:1) Moreover the word of the Lord came unto me, saying, (2) Son of man, set thy face against mount Seir (Again, that represents Esau's kingdom.), and prophesy against it, (3) and say unto it, Thus saith the Lord God: Behold, I am against thee, O mount Seir, and I will stretch out my hand against thee, and I will make thee a desolation and an astonishment. (4) I will lay thy cities waste, and thou shalt be desolate; and thou shalt know that I am the Lord. (5) Because thou hast had a perpetual enmity, and hast given over the children of Israel (who was Jacob, his brother) to the power of the sword in the time of their calamity, in the time of the iniquity of the end....    We know that at the end of the Roman Beast kingdom, the Edomites sided with the Romans against their brother Jacob and they are going to do it in these days, too. America, the “great eagle” at the very top of the image of the Beast (Daniel 3), is ultimately going to side with the Edomites against Israel. We know that from Jeremiah, where he speaks about Babylon, the great eagle, conquering all of the nations. First, all the nations drank of the cup of wrath that came from Babylon and then, ultimately, at the end, Babylon itself drank of the cup of wrath (Jeremiah 25:1-33). So the Lord said, “Those of you who side with the world against your brothers in the day of their calamity, you are going to be judged in the time of the iniquity of the end.”  Going on in (Eze.35:6) Therefore, as I live, saith the Lord God, I will prepare thee unto blood, and blood shall pursue thee: since thou hast not hated blood, therefore blood shall pursue thee. (7) Thus will I make mount Seir an astonishment and a desolation; and I will cut off from it him that passeth through and him that returneth. (8) And I will fill its mountains with its slain: in thy hills and in thy valleys and in all thy watercourses shall they fall that are slain with the sword. (9) I will make thee a perpetual desolation, and thy cities shall not be inhabited; and ye shall know that I am the Lord. This is the iniquity of the end! (Eze.35:10) Because thou hast said, These two nations and these two countries shall be mine, and we will possess it (Even today, the natural Edomites are claiming those two nations and yet the land doesn't belong to them.); whereas the Lord was there:   (Eze.35:11) therefore, as I live, saith the Lord God, I will do according to thine anger, and according to thine envy which thou hast showed out of thy hatred against them; and I will make myself known among them, when I shall judge thee. (12) And thou shalt know that I, the Lord, have heard all thy revilings which thou hast spoken against the mountains of Israel, saying, They are laid desolate, they are given us to devour. This is what's going to happen to natural Israel and, of course, the Church. The Church, being spiritual Jacob or spiritual Israel, is going to become desolate. War is going to be made against the saints and the Church, as we have known it, a prosperous, somewhat respected entity in the world, is going to go by the wayside.   The whole world is going to be against the Church and the Harlot, the Edomites, are going to side with the world. The Edomites will do this for the sake of advantage and because of their hatred of their brother. (Eze.35:13) And ye have magnified yourselves against me with your mouth, and have multiplied your words against me: I have heard it. (14) Thus saith the Lord God: When the whole earth rejoiceth, I will make thee desolate.   When the whole world comes against natural and spiritual Israel, and think that they have finally done away with their voice when the Two Witnesses are killed, the Bible says they will be rejoicing. As it says in (Rev.11:7) And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast that cometh up out of the abyss shall make war with them, and overcome them, and kill them. (8) And their dead bodies lie in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also their Lord was crucified. (9) And from among the peoples and tribes and tongues and nations do men look upon their dead bodies three days and a half, and suffer not their dead bodies to be laid in a tomb. (10) And they that dwell on the earth rejoice over them, and make merry; and they shall send gifts one to another; because these two prophets tormented them that dwell on the earth.   And yet God says at that time, “I will make thee desolate,” because that is what the great and terrible Day of the Lord is; it is the time for Him to render the “day of vengeance.” (Eze.35:15) As thou didst rejoice over the inheritance of the house of Israel, because it was desolate, so will I do unto thee: thou shalt be desolate, O mount Seir, and all Edom, even all of it; and they shall know that I am the Lord. All of it! All of Mount Seir! How is that possible, except that God is almighty and He will do according to His Own will? (Dan.4:35) And all the inhabitants of the earth are reputed as nothing; and he doeth according to his will in the army of heaven, and among the inhabitants of the earth; and none can stay his hand, or say unto him, What doest thou?   Nothing can restrain His hand and one thing He has determined is to destroy the Edomites, both the spiritual and the physical Edomites. Back in (Oba.15) For the day of the Lord is near upon all the nations: as thou hast done, it shall be done unto thee (He will render to every man according to his works.); thy dealing shall return upon thine own head. (Oba.16) For as ye have drunk upon my holy mountain, so shall all the nations drink continually; yea, they shall drink, and swallow down, and shall be as though they had not been. This is speaking about the Jeremiah 25 scenario, where God offered this cup of wrath to all the nations and made them drink it.   The last one to drink it was Babylon, the “great eagle,” which was God's vessel to bring this judgment to those nations, and yet it is all going to be turned around in the end. (Oba.17) But in mount Zion there shall be those that escape.... Again, we're seeing that there are going to be certain people who are going to escape. And in the dream that I shared last time, the brother saw that I and the others with me had all escaped. (Oba.17) But in mount Zion there shall be those that escape, and it shall be holy.... Notice this. The reason that people are going to escape is because they are holy; they don't need any more sanctification and they don't need any more crucifixion. Crucifixion is for the purpose of putting to death the old man to bring forth a people who will walk holy before the Lord.   In other words, crucifixion is so they will sanctify themselves from the world and repent of their sins, and turn to God. This is the place of safety and the people who will do this are the people who will escape. (Oba.17) But in mount Zion there shall be those that escape, and it shall be holy; and the house of Jacob shall possess their possessions. Yes! God's New Testament spiritual Jacob, or Israel, the true born-again Church, and especially the Bride who has been sanctified and is holy, will “possess their possessions.” We have been without our possessions for a long time now and the Lord has promised through Joel to restore everything that has been taken from us. He says, Joe 2:25 And I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten, the canker-worm, and the caterpillar, and the palmer-worm, my great army which I sent among you. Praise be to God for that!   (Oba.18) And the house of Jacob shall be a fire, and the house of Joseph a flame, and the house of Esau for stubble.... God's people are going to have something to do with the destruction of Esau, or the Edomites, in the great and terrible Day of the Lord. Remember that for the first 40 days the ark set on the earth in that Day of the Lord, which was a year. Then, after 40 days, it lifted off. That represents the Lord coming for His people and He isn't coming back alone. At that time, when He returns to gather the saints and to bring judgment upon the earth, He has the armies of Heaven behind Him. (Rev.19:15) And the armies which are in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and pure.   This is when He tramples the “winepress of the wrath of God.” In (Rev.14:18) And another angel came out from the altar, he that hath power over fire; and he called with a great voice to him that had the sharp sickle, saying, Send forth thy sharp sickle, and gather the clusters of the vine of the earth; for her grapes are fully ripe. (19) And the angel cast his sickle into the earth, and gathered the vintage of the earth, and cast it into the winepress, the great [winepress], of the wrath of God. (20) And the winepress was trodden without the city, and there came out blood from the winepress, even unto the bridles of the horses, as far as a thousand and six hundred furlongs. The Lord and the armies of Heaven with Him are bringing judgment to destroy the flesh of men.   (Rev.19:17) And I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the birds that fly in mid heaven, Come and be gathered together unto the great supper of God; (18) that ye may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses and of them that sit thereon, and the flesh of all men, both free and bond, and small and great. One group in that list of the unregenerate nations is the Edomites, who had the birthright but sold it and they should not have been there in the first place.   Do you remember what the Lord said about the lukewarm? (Rev.3:16) So because thou art lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will spew thee out of my mouth. When does that happen? Here in (Rev.12:3) And there was seen another sign in heaven: and behold, a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his heads seven diadems. (4) And his tail draweth the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon standeth before the woman that is about to be delivered, that when she is delivered he may devour her child. The lukewarm are spewed out when the stars fall from heaven.   Some people think that the “stars” are angels, but, (Isa.9:15) The elder and the honorable man, he is the head; and the prophet that teacheth lies, he is the tail. (16) For they that lead this people cause them to err; and they that are led of them are destroyed. “The prophet that teacheth lies ... is the tail.” And the Bible also says that the “stars” of heaven are Abraham's seed (Genesis 15:5). So one-third of the “stars” of heaven are going to fall away. The dragon Beast is going to deceive and conquer them, and the spewing-out from the body of Christ of the lukewarm is that falling away.  Back to (Oba.18) And the house of Jacob shall be a fire, and the house of Joseph a flame, and the house of Esau for stubble, and they shall burn among them, and devour them; and there shall not be any remaining to the house of Esau; for the Lord hath spoken it. Some people have the idea that this is all natural. They don't understand that it's a parable because they don't see anything in the spirit, but those who go up in the great and terrible Day of the Lord are not a physical people anymore. God is giving them the power to destroy the Harlot, the Edomites, but they are no longer in the flesh.   I am not saying that natural Israel won't be upon this earth fighting against the nations that are brought against her. I believe that is absolutely true and Zechariah 12-14 speak of that. (Zec.12:6) In that day will I make the chieftains of Judah like a pan of fire among wood, and like a flaming torch among sheaves; and they shall devour all the peoples round about, on the right hand and on the left; and they of Jerusalem shall yet again dwell in their own place, even in Jerusalem. This has both a spiritual and natural meaning. When the Lord returns with all of His saints at the end of the great and terrible Day of the Lord, it will be to defend and preserve a remnant of natural Israel, and destroy the nations that come against it, including Edomites.   (Zec.14:5) And ye shall flee by the valley of my mountains; for the valley of the mountains shall reach unto Azel; yea, ye shall flee, like as ye fled from before the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah; and the Lord my God shall come, and all the holy ones with thee. Notice it says “all the holy (or ‘sanctified') ones with thee.” Obviously, the unsanctified are on the earth and going through the great and terrible Day of the Lord. (Zec.14:12) And this shall be the plague wherewith the Lord will smite all the peoples that have warred against Jerusalem: their flesh shall consume away while they stand upon their feet, and their eyes shall consume away in their sockets, and their tongue shall consume away in their mouth. I know that in the natural this could be speaking about nuclear weapons, but also it's like the “pan of fire” (Zechariah 12:6).   It's like the fire that is coming out of the mouth of the Lord and out of the mouth of the saints to destroy the wicked. (Zec.14:13) And it shall come to pass in that day, that a great tumult from the Lord shall be among them; and they shall lay hold every one on the hand of his neighbor, and his hand shall rise up against the hand of his neighbor. (14) And Judah also shall fight at Jerusalem; and the wealth of all the nations round about shall be gathered together, gold, and silver, and apparel, in great abundance. The Lord is going to bring an end to the Edomites joining with the Beast entity to fight against their brothers, who are God's true people.   Let's go back to Obadiah and read a little bit more of this. (Oba.18) And the house of Jacob shall be a fire, and the house of Joseph a flame, and the house of Esau for stubble, and they shall burn among them, and devour them; and there shall not be any remaining to the house of Esau; for the Lord hath spoken it. (19) And they of the South shall possess the mount of Esau, and they of the lowland the Philistines; and they shall possess the field of Ephraim, and the field of Samaria; and Benjamin [shall possess] Gilead. (20) And the captives of this host of the children of Israel, that are [among] the Canaanites, [shall possess] even unto Zarephath; and the captives of Jerusalem, that are in Sepharad, shall possess the cities of the South. (21) And saviors shall come up on mount Zion to judge the mount of Esau; and the kingdom shall be the Lord's. This is the time when the kingdom of this world has become the Kingdom of our Lord and of His Christ.   God's people are going to be on Mount Zion; they are going to be in Heavenly Jerusalem and they are going to bring judgment against the wicked. Revelation tells us when the Kingdom is the Lord's: (Rev.11:15) And the seventh angel sounded (or, the “last trump”); and there followed great voices in heaven (speaking that the ark has lifted off), and they said, The kingdom of the world is become the kingdom of our Lord, and of his Christ: and he shall reign for ever and ever. So we do not have to guess about the timing that he is talking about here when he says, (Oba.21) And saviors shall come up on mount Zion.... God's people will totally overcome!   They will come to their Heavenly city, just as Paul spoke about them coming to their city back in his day. (Heb.12:22) But ye are come unto mount Zion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to innumerable hosts of angels, (23) to the general assembly and church of the firstborn who are enrolled in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect, (24) and to Jesus the mediator of a new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling that speaketh better than [that of] Abel.   And so we read, (Oba.21) Saviors shall come up on mount Zion to judge the mount of Esau and the kingdom shall be the Lord's. Praise be to God! Are these “saviors” doing this judging in their new bodies? Yes, that is exactly right! As we saw earlier, they are no longer a physical people and they, with the Lord, are bringing this judgment. By the way, in the Book of Daniel, God gives credit to the saints for destroying this kingdom of the Beast. (Dan.7:23) Thus he said, The fourth beast shall be a fourth kingdom upon earth, which shall be diverse from all the kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, and shall tread it down, and break it in pieces. (24) And as for the ten horns, out of this kingdom shall ten kings arise: and another shall arise after them; and he shall be diverse from the former, and he shall put down three kings.   (25) And he shall speak words against the Most High, and shall wear out the saints of the Most High; and he shall think to change the times and the law; and they (the saints) shall be given into his hand until a time and times and half a time. (26) But the judgment shall be set, and they (the saints) shall take away his dominion, to consume and to destroy it unto the end. (27) And the kingdom and the dominion, and the greatness of the kingdoms under the whole heaven, shall be given to the people of the saints of the Most High: his kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and all dominions shall serve and obey him. So the “saints,” meaning the “sanctified ones,” have returned with the Lord to bring this judgment upon the earth. God has given it unto them to do this and the Lord on His white horse is guiding His people. Praise be to God!   Back in (Oba.19) And they of the South shall possess the mount of Esau, and they of the lowland the Philistines; and they shall possess the field of Ephraim (This is speaking of the northern 10 tribes; that was the name that was used for them at one time.), and the field of Samaria.... In the time of Jesus, the Samaritans were not considered by the Jews to be true believers because they were not of the seed of the Jews. After the Assyrian Empire had conquered Samaria, they carried away the 10 tribes and replaced them with other conquered tribes from various pagan nations, who eventually ended up with the religion of the Jews, along with their own religions.   This is a kind of parallel with the Edomite situation and Ezra has something to say about it. In (Ezr.4:1) Now when the adversaries of Judah and Benjamin heard that the children of the captivity (These were the people who were returning from captivity in order to rebuild the Temple, which is what is happening today.) were building a temple unto the Lord, the God of Israel; (2) then they drew near to Zerubbabel (His name means “born from Babylon” and he represents the Man-child here.), and to the heads of fathers' houses, and said unto them, Let us build with you; for we seek your God, as ye do; and we sacrifice unto him since the days of Esar-haddon king of Assyria, who brought us up hither. They're talking about having been relocated from other nations to Samaria after Samaria was conquered by the Assyrians.   (Ezr.4:3) But Zerubbabel, and Jeshua, and the rest of the heads of fathers' houses of Israel, said unto them, Ye have nothing to do with us in building a house unto our God (The Edomites, just like these Samaritans who represent false Christians, have nothing to do with building this house of God. Only the true holy people are the ones who are building the house of God and I'm going to explain that a little bit better further on.); but we ourselves together will build unto the Lord, the God of Israel, as king Cyrus the king of Persia hath commanded us. (Ezr.4:4) Then the people of the land weakened the hands of the people of Judah, and troubled them in building. So these people wanted to join with the true holy people of God, but Jacob only bore fruit when he separated from Esau. And today, the Edomites want to join the true people of God, as though they are Christians, but they're not because they are defiled with that root of bitterness.   (Ezr.4:5) And hired counsellors against them, to frustrate their purpose, all the days of Cyrus king of Persia, even until the reign of Darius king of Persia. The Edomites sided with the Beast every time, as did these Samaritans. (Ezr.4:6) And in the reign of Ahasuerus, in the beginning of his reign, wrote they an accusation against the inhabitants of Judah and Jerusalem. Throughout history, the Harlot has always accused God's people and the Edomites are always accusing God's people.   (Ezr.4:7) And in the days of Artaxerxes wrote Bishlam, Mithredath, Tabeel, and the rest of his companions, unto Artaxerxes king of Persia; and the writing of the letter was written in the Syrian character, and set forth in the Syrian tongue. (12) Be it known unto the king, that the Jews that came up from thee are come to us unto Jerusalem; they are building the rebellious and the bad city, and have finished the walls, and repaired the foundations. (13) Be it known now unto the king, that, if this city be builded, and the walls finished, they will not pay tribute, custom, or toll, and in the end it will be hurtful unto the kings. This is what the Samaritans threatened, which caused the king to order a stop to the building of the Temple.   Let me go back to who these people actually were and look at who the Samaritans are in our day. In (2Ki.17:24) And the king of Assyria brought men from Babylon, and from Cuthah, and from Avva, and from Hamath and Sepharvaim, and placed them in the cities of Samaria instead of the children of Israel; and they possessed Samaria, and dwelt in the cities thereof. (25) And so it was, at the beginning of their dwelling there, that they feared not the Lord: therefore the Lord sent lions among them, which killed some of them.   (26) Wherefore they spake to the king of Assyria, saying, The nations which thou hast carried away, and placed in the cities of Samaria, know not the law of the god of the land: therefore he hath sent lions among them, and, behold, they slay them, because they know not the law of the god of the land. Well, they were living in Samaria, but they were not Israelites, were they? They called themselves Samaritans, but these were pagans who were brought in to take the place of the true Samaritans and it was the Beast that did this. The Beast entity, which is the world, which is the flesh, which is all those who don't walk according to the Spirit of God, has infiltrated the Church. These are people who talk like Christians but they don't fear God. If they feared God, they would be convicted with the Word of God to change their ways, but they just want to play “country club” religion.   Continuing in (2Ki.17:27) Then the king of Assyria commanded, saying, Carry thither one of the priests whom ye brought from thence; and let them go and dwell there, and let him teach them the law of the god of the land. You can teach a pagan all about Christianity and you can send them to Sunday School, but they will still be a pagan. That's the problem. (2Ki.17:28) So one of the priests whom they had carried away from Samaria came and dwelt in Beth-el (“Beth-el” means “the house of God.” Who are they teaching in this house of God? They're teaching people who are not Israelites; they're not Christians but they like going to church.), and taught them how they should fear the Lord. (2Ki.17:29) Howbeit every nation made gods of their own, and put them in the houses of the high places which the Samaritans had made, every nation in their cities wherein they dwelt. So they studied the God of the land, they studied the Lord, but they worshipped their own gods and, of course, it's that way in much of Christianity today.   People have a “Jesus” of their own making who's not the Jesus of the Bible. (2Ki.17:30) And the men of Babylon made Succoth-benoth, and the men of Cuth made Nergal, and the men of Hamath made Ashima, (31) and the Avvites made Nibhaz and Tartak; and the Sepharvites burnt their children in the fire to Adrammelech and Anammelech, the gods of Sepharvaim. These were the actual “gods” these people worshipped. (1Co.10:20) But [I say], that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to demons, and not to God: and I would not that ye should have communion with demons. According to Apostle Paul, these are demons impersonating God. Is it the same today? Yes! It's the same today; there are demons who impersonate the true God. There are people who claim to be God's people, but they are merely studying God and not really fearing Him. They're not really submitting to Him. These people are not Christians and will never be converted.   Continuing in (2Ki.17:32) So they feared the Lord, and made unto them from among themselves priests of the high places, who sacrificed for them in the houses of the high places. Notice that these are not ordained priests; they are not Levites. These priests came from among their pagan people. (2Ki.17:33) They feared the Lord, and served their own gods, after the manner of the nations from among whom they had been carried away. They called Him “Lord,” but it was really their own god that they were serving. (2Ki.17:34) Unto this day they do after the former manner: they fear not the Lord, neither do they after their statutes, or after their ordinances, or after the law or after the commandment which the Lord commanded the children of Jacob, whom he named Israel. This is the problem: dispersed among the people of God are people who don't walk as Christians.   The Lord said He would judge every man according to his own works, yet people think that God is going to judge them as to whether or not they have had the Christian experience of a new spirit. But that is not what the Word tells us. Paul writes in (Rom.2:5) But after thy hardness and impenitent heart treasurest up for thyself wrath in the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God; (6) who will render to every man according to his works: (7) to them that by patience in well-doing seek for glory and honor and incorruption, eternal life: (8) but unto them that are factious, and obey not the truth, but obey unrighteousness, [shall be] wrath and indignation, (9) tribulation and anguish, upon every soul of man that worketh evil, of the Jew first, and also of the Greek;   (10) but glory and honor and peace to every man that worketh good, to the Jew first, and also to the Greek: (11) for there is no respect of persons with God. The Lord says it will be according to your works. Your nature is what proves who you really are. If you walk after the regenerate spirit that God gave you, you will become regenerate. Your soul, which is your mind, will and emotions, will be renewed, but if you walk after the flesh, you must die. (Rom.8:12) So then, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh: (13) for if ye live after the flesh, ye must die; but if by the Spirit ye put to death the deeds of the body, ye shall live. (14) For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God. It all has to do with your works. God will judge these Judases who are among His people and who mistreat their brethren.  Back to (2Ki.17:35) With whom the Lord had made a covenant (this is speaking of Israel), and charged them, saying, Ye shall not fear other gods, nor bow yourselves to them, nor serve them, nor sacrifice to them: (41) So these nations feared the Lord, and served their graven images; their children likewise, and their children's children, as did their fathers, so do they unto this day. And I might say, “So do they unto this day.” This is still going on because this is all a type and shadow of God separating the wheat from the tares. The tares are sown among the wheat but they do not bear fruit. These are people who claim to be Christians. They have invaded the Church just to do their own will.   They submit to their false gods, who are actually demons, and their works are going to prove who they are. They are not sanctified, therefore they don't take part in the Bride's blessing, but instead they take part in the great and terrible Day of the Lord. Everyone who is not sanctified will go through the great and terrible Day of the Lord, the day of God's wrath upon the wicked, the day of God's judgment upon the Harlot. God will use the Beast to devour the Harlot with fire. And it will be God's people who are exercising the authority of God's judgment. It will be God's people who are the fire in the midst of the Judases.   God bless you to follow the God of the Bible.

Revelation 17 is one of the most difficult passages in the entire book. The identity of the woman on the beast has been a matter of great theological debate down through the years.  In trying to interpret these thornier texts, it's important to ask this basic question of biblical hermeneutics: What did the writer intend to say to his original audience? The Bible cannot mean what it never meant.As John's audience read the vision of this woman, they would have quickly identified her as Rome. The beast, as we've seen in earlier visions, symbolizes political power.  In John's day, that would have been the emperor. So, we have a godless system supported by political power.But this vision did not simply apply to a 1st-century empire. It also points to a leader that is yet to come. The Antichrist – the beast of Rev. 13 - a charismatic leader who will arise in the last days out of a restored Roman Empire. He will create a city that will serve as his social, political, and religious base while he attempts to establish his kingdom. And world leaders will “get in bed” with the Anti-Christ and his godless system.As God's wrath is poured out with greater and greater destruction, the Antichrist will turn on his allies and the system will begin to implode. Like wounded animals, they devour each other.So, what are we to learn here?Rev. 18:4 is a key verse: “‘Come out of her, my people,' so that you will not share in her sins…”We need to understand that we all face the temptation to compromise with the system.The system – “Rome” – is anything that could seduce you or intimidate you into not fully following Christ.In an earlier letter, John called this system “the world.” He wrote: “Do not love the world, nor the things that are in the world…” (1 Jn. 2:5-6)He then breaks down the things in the world as:The lust of the flesh = SensualismThe lust of the eyes = MaterialismThe boastful pride of life = EgotismWe can have promising beginnings and thriving hearts, and then get seduced by the world.  It is a very real threat.  We need to understand what will be the end of any system that defies Christ.That John symbolized “Rome” as a prostitute isn't accidental. He's making a vivid point. You may think this grand and glorious world system is so desirable, but the reality is that “Rome the Magnificent” is a bloated, pathetic streetwalker. Doomed to destruction.  So don't be seduced by her evil or intimidated by her power. Take a long view of life and be faithful.  We need to understand the loss for any person who trusts in such a system.In Rev. 18:9-19 we see people who bet everything they had that alliance with “Rome” would give them power, wealth, and security. But in the end, “Rome” didn't come through. All her promises were as empty as the words of a prostitute.You've started the race well; but will you finish well?  Only you can answer that.  Only you can put safeguards into your life - spiritual disciplines, solid community, honest accountability - so you can run the race, finish the course, and win the prize.  Text: Revelation 17-18Originally recorded on May 14, 2000, at Fellowship Missionary Church, Fort Wayne, IN 

In Rev. 19, the celebration in heaven begins! God's people are praising Him, and the time has come for the marriage of the Lamb, along with the marriage supper! Oh what a glorious time that will be, and so let's look at this together now.

In Rev. 18, we have some details about the future destruction of world system towards the end of the Tribulation Period. It includes a strong warning to Tribulation saints to get away as God judges that system. But there's also an important and relevant warning to us as believers today, much along the same lines. Let's look at that now in this podcast message!

Only those written in the Lamb's Book of Life will be permitted to enter into the temple. (Rev.21:27) Jesus told His disciples to rejoice that their names “were written in Heaven.” “And I saw the dead, small and great, standing before God and books were opened. And another book was opened which is the Book of Life. And the dead were judged according to their words, by the things which were written in the books.” (Rev.20:12) We know there is a Book of Life. There are also books which appear to be the record of our individual works. Those not found in the registry of Heaven will be judged by their own works, all of which will be insufficient to gain them a place in heave. God has written our names in The Book of Life. Names can also be blotted out of the Book of Life, not for our sin but for not accepting Jesus Christ's sacrifice for our sin.   In (Rev. 13:8) there Is also another group “living on the earth who will worship the Beast, “whose names have not been written in the Book of Life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.” I wonder who they are?

As the familiar saying goes, we will reap what we sow. In Rev. Ch. 14, that truth reaches eternal heights, with believers up in heaven praising God, and unsaved sinners down on earth facing God's judgment. Let's take a closer look then, in this message titled, "Sowing and Reaping."."

In Rev 3:20, Jesus stands and knocks at the door of a church struggling with self-sufficiency and apathy. Jesus wants in, not to shame them, but to transform them. He wants to do the same with us! Let's talk about it! In this first episode of the Make Room series, we talk with Rachel Mitchell, a wife and boy mom of two,  passionate about teaching women of all ages what it looks like to invite Christ into the fight for their bodies and their health and creating habits that make them stronger physically, mentally and spiritually! Mandie & Delaney talk with Rachel about who this Jesus knocking at the door is and why we should give Him full access to our hearts. This episode is chock-full of encouragement and practical ways for you to start making more room for Jesus this year!We have meaningful conversations on the podcast in hopes it will encourage you to have meaningful conversations of your own with the girls in your life. We invite you to pull up a seat at this table of brave conversation!

In this week's study, I continue in Chapter 17, verses 4 and 5. Once again I go into a rant about the upcoming 2024 WEF spearheaded by Klaus Schwab. I also discuss the article by Pastor Chuck Baldwin in a letter to evangelist's throughout the US on their support of Zionist Israel.This morning we will continue with the angel having this conversation with John on the ‘great whore' sitting on the scarlet colored beast.4              And decked with gold = After the manner of an harlot, with rich jewelry. And precious stones = Sparkling diamonds, etc.  And pearls = Also a much-valued female ornament. Read and compare Matthew 7:6;Having a golden cup in her hand = As if to entice lovers.So here we see her depicted in the robes of royalty. She is adorned with all of the trappings of luxury and wealth.  Here she is flaunting the success of her whoredom as an expensive prostitute would do. 5              And upon her forehead = In a circlet around her forehead. That is, it was made well-known and public, as if written on the forehead in blazing capitals. In Rev. 13:1 it is said that “the name of blasphemy” was written on the “heads” of the beast."BABYLON THE GREAT," the mother of the harlots and of the abominations of the earth. = Written on the woman's forehead, it was a secret sign or symbol. The woman in Revelation chapter 17 is a word-picture, to mean the greatest city in the world. Even her name is the name of a city, Babylon, which was a great city six centuries before Yahshua Messiah. These verses tell us two things about this symbolic harlot named “Babylon”:1.    In some way, “Babylon” gave birth to other harlots (verse 5).2.       In some way, “Babylon” is behind abominations, which would include the murder of Christians (verse 6).The mother of harlots = (a)          Of that spiritual apostasy from Yahweh which, in the language of the prophets, might be called adultery. See Rev. 14:8.(b)          The promoter of lewdness by her institutions. See Rev. 9:21. In both these senses, there never was a more expressive or appropriate title than the one here employed.And abominations of the earth = In the Greek ‘idolatry'. Abominable things that prevail on the earth, Rev. 17:4.This harlot must represent something that is like a harlot from Yahweh's perspective. There are two points to make about the description of her in this passage:1.       She is attractive to those seeking worldly pleasures. Obviously, being called a harlot suggests worldly sensual pleasures. Besides that, we see her decked out with gold, precious stones, and pearls, and these things suggest worldly wealth. That she engages with kings and is adorned in purple and scarlet suggest high worldly status. In other words, her customers are people attracted by the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the boastful pride of life (ref: 1 John 2:15-17).2.       She leads people into immorality, provoking Yahweh's wrath. Although she promises pleasures, she ultimately brings about ruin. This is indicated by the cup she holds, which is golden on the outside, but the inside is full of abominations and immorality. The earlier verses mentioned above (Rev 16:19 and Rev 14:8) make it clear that she and her unrepentant “customers” will ultimately face Yahweh's wrath.Join me as we go Chapter by Chapter, Verse by Verse, Unraveling the Words of Yahweh! Have any questions?

Apostate Church Witchcraft (2)  (audio)  David Eells - 12/6/23    The Fall of Babylonian Religion  David Eells    Our Father has raised up a Beast kingdom as a demolition crew to tear down or burn down all the wood, hay and stubble built on the foundation of Christ. You can be sure that everything built on the shifting sands of this world will go, for everything that can be shaken will be.     In a vision, I was standing on a mountain and looking down the mountainside. I saw a construction crew coming up the mountainside putting up the big metal power poles for high voltage power lines. Then I looked down beside me on the ground and noticed a very old, emaciated cow lying there.   It looked as though it was about to die. Next to it was a very large baby boy that I knew had been born from that cow. Next, I saw a front-end loader come and scoop up the cow and carry it away. I picked up the baby and walked over and got on an escalator. As we were going up, I noticed a woman next to me with a normal-sized baby. Looking at my baby, she said, "That looks like a real baby boy". Watching the front-end loader carry away the cow, I said, "Yeah, I wonder how that's possible".     Then the scene changed, and I was walking into a ministers' conference. All the famous religious leaders of the U.S. were there. A famous minister who everyone knows and who I felt represented a generation of ministers, walked over and handed me some papers. Then the Lord said to me, "This is his propaganda about what he has accomplished". (If we have accomplished anything, it is by God's power, will, and grace for "a man can receive nothing except it come from heaven".)   God gave me the interpretation in my spirit. The power lines are the power of God coming to faithful Christians in the Kingdom represented by the mountain. The power will not come until the old cow, the Babylonish religious systems of men, are moved out of the way just as new wine cannot be put in old wineskins.     I was told that the old cow was the golden calf, now come to full age and passing away. In Ex.32:4 speaking of the golden calf, they said in Hebrew, "This is thy God". God here in the literal is Elohim just as it is in verse 11, "And Moses besought the Lord his God". Aaron proclaimed a feast to the Lord in verse 5. “Lord” here in the literal is YHWH, the name of our God. In other words, they were calling the golden calf Elohim and YHWH.   They were giving God's name to a false god. If you have been sold on a Jesus that looks different from the Jesus of the Bible, guess what, you are worshiping the golden calf, the old cow. The old cow is "another Jesus" as Paul called it in 2 Cor.11:4. He was the Egyptian Baal; the false virgin birthed son of God from Babel. You will take on the image of the Jesus you follow according to 2 Cor.3:18; hence, the old cow represents those who have taken on the image of a false Jesus. As this old cow is being moved out of the Kingdom the greater works will be manifest through the true disciples of Christ.    The greatest beast army the world has ever known is about to come against what is thought to be the Kingdom of God. They are the construction crew that will move the Babylonish cow out of the way. A remnant baby will come out of this cow and come to maturity, which is Zion as in Jer.50:3-12. The escalator represents the rest, the ceasing from our own works, as in Heb.4:10,11, through faith in the promises according to Heb.4:1-3. You do not walk upon an escalator; you just rest. God's land of rest is standing on the promises as God told Joshua, Every place that the sole of your foot shall tread upon, to you have I given it (Joshua 1:3).     Jesus taught us that everything we pray for we are to believe we have received it and we shall have it in Mk.11:24. If you believe that you havereceived, you will cease from your struggles and anxiety to bring it to pass according to 1 John 5:14,15. Heb 4:3 For we who have believed do enter into that rest.  This is ceasing from our own works, because the works are already accomplished by God.   For instance, if we ask God to deliver us from some sin or sickness as in 1 Peter 2:24, or some other curse as in Gal.3:13, we must believe we have received since these promises are all past tense. Notice "bare our sins", "were healed", "redeemed us from the curse" are all past tense. Ephesians 2:8 in the original Greek says, "For by grace have ye been saved through faith". If you have been saved, then you are saved. The word saved here is the Greek word sozo and is translated "made thee whole" as in Lk.8:48 and some other places.     Obviously, being healed is part of being saved spirit, soul, and body. It is also saved in circumstances in Mt.8:25, and in deliverance in Lk.8:36. Saved covers deliverance from sin and its curses; and you have been saved at the cross. Jesus said, "It is finished", and "I have overcome the world". By this rest, the baby will come nearer and nearer to God represented by the escalator. And this will bring protection in the days to come through promises like Psa.91 and Psa.125.   The cow does not even believe in the protection and blessing of the secret place of the Most High (Psa.91). The cow eats grass, which Peter said was flesh in 1 Pet.1:24, and represents a fleshly understanding of the word. The cow only feeds milk, which we are told is being "without experience of the word of righteousness" in Heb.5:13,14, and represents being without spiritual senses.   God showed me concerning the ministers' conference that they were the bulls of Bashan who had been sowing their seed in the cow. Psalms 22:12,13 is a prophecy of the religious leadership represented by bulls in Jesus' day in verses 1,16,18, who opposed his leadership. The disciples were the new church leadership. The true disciples are going to be given a new leadership like those who followed Jesus out of Babylonish Judaism shown in Isa.1:26.    God gave the Old Covenant but at the time of Jesus they had corrupted it into a respect for men and traditions instead of the Word. Christianity has repeated this history. Jesus came to make disciples (Greek: methetes -meaning learners and followers) of the Word and lead them out of apostasy. True disciples will hear no other voice but his according to John 10:3-5; 8:31,32). You might say, "I would like to bring healing to this old corrupt religious cow".   Have you read Jeremiah 51:9? It says, "We would have healed Babylon, but she is not healed: forsake her, and let us go everyone into his own country; for her judgment reacheth unto heaven, and is lifted up even to the skies". Forsake her, brothers and sisters, and dwell in the promised land. Live on his promises. Receive a kingdom that cannot be shaken as in Heb.12:28. Come out from among them and be ye separate says 2 Cor.6:14-18 / Rev.18:4 / Jer.51:6,45 / Jer.50:8).    Diaper Changes  Anonymous 2/9/23 (David's notes in red)    I had a dream that my husband and I and about 20 to 40 other people were sent on a journey, walking through towns and various places but we were not to stay in one spot. (Staying in one spot, we shall see, is staying in the church denominations with no growth. We are strangers and pilgrims in this world, only passing through. Our home is heaven. 1Ch 29:15 For we are strangers before thee, and sojourners, as all our fathers were: our days on the earth are as a shadow, and there is no abiding. 1Pe 2:11 Beloved, I beseech you as sojourners and pilgrims, to abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul;)    There are those who grow up for they are always seeking for truth so they keep moving.  Many from an old line denomination to a more spirit filled experience in another setting. And then realizing there is more and keep looking.   We were all adults and each of us were wearing their own diaper, (wearing a diaper represents not being able to “cleanse self” yet.) except a few people who were not wearing them. They would change everyone else's diapers. (Those who are mature help the younger believers by teaching them how to cleanse themselves with the promises in the Word. Eph 5:26 that he might sanctify it, having cleansed it by the washing of water with the word, Heb 10:22 let us draw near with a true heart in fulness of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience: and having our body washed with pure water,)    My husband's and my diaper were both pink and shimmery, (pink means love, and shimmery means “glistening” in the reflection of the sun/Son)  But everyone else's were different darker colors. (Clothing represents our works so, the others were still in unclean works of the flesh.)    As we journeyed, we experienced so many different trials and persecution and I felt it was all a test for us to see how we would react and handle each situation. People randomly would mock us or drive us out of the places where we were, and I kept hearing that this is a trial and to stay calm and not worry.   (This is the life of believers who follow Jesus and experience the suffering of persecution. 2Ti 3:12 Yea, and all that would live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution. 1Pe 5:7 casting all your anxiety upon him, because he careth for you. Php 4:6 In nothing be anxious; but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.)    After about two days of wearing these diapers, my husband and I grew out of ours, so we didn't have to wear them anymore. (As we continue to obey Jesus in our trials, we learn what He wants and how to cleanse ourselves of our past and religious ways and quickly grow up. 2Th 1:3 …for that your faith growth exceedingly, and the love of each one of you all toward one another aboundeth; 1Pe 1:22 Seeing ye have purified your souls in your obedience to the truth unto unfeigned love of the brethren, love one another from the heart fervently: Joh 15:3 Already ye are clean because of the word which I have spoken unto you. Joh 17:17 Sanctify them in the truth: thy word is truth.)    But all the other people still wore theirs and since we were no longer wearing a diaper, we had to help all the others change theirs because they were unable to do it themselves. We were happy to help the others and we understood because we had to wear them before. (As we overcome the flesh and learn and grow, we can teach others how to use the promises of God to cleanse themselves.   Joh 13:14 If I then, the Lord and the Teacher, have washed your feet, ye also ought to wash one another's feet. 1Co 6:11 And such were some of you: but ye were washed, but ye were sanctified, but ye were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, and in the Spirit of our God. 2Co 7:1 Having therefore these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all defilement of flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.)     (We also learn compassion and show mercy to others, not judging the younger ones, because we remember we were babies in the Lord too. We are then able to comfort and minister to others. (2Co 1: 3-4 …the Father of mercies and God of all comfort; 4 who comforteth us in all our affliction, that we may be able to comfort them that are in any affliction, through the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God.)    Much time had passed, and we had gone through many different towns. (The towns represent other congregations of people where we share the Gospel.) and the only food that these adults in diapers wanted to eat was fast food. Fast food for breakfast, lunch and dinner. (Fast food represents quick food, like a short sermon. Or processed food with little nutrition. Possibly prepared using the letter of the Word without spiritual revelations. All this means feeding the flesh. Preachers in diapers cannot help.   This is not enough to feed the spirit man who needs the Word to grow and mature. Pro 4:22 For they [Word of God] are life unto those that find them, And health to all their flesh. 3Jn 1:2 Beloved, I pray that in all things thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.)    They refused to eat homemade sandwiches or food that we would make at the motel. They didn't want to eat anything healthy or fresh but only fast food, and they would go out of their way to get it. They insisted that we always stay in an area that had a fast-food restaurant and if it was not convenient or available in our travels they would freak out and refuse anything else. (This represents desires to only satisfy the flesh and not the spirit.)    These adults in the diapers were always complaining and very demandingwith their needs although they could do everything for themselves, but they wanted us to do it for them. (Some people never grow up always expecting others to do the work for them. Such is the apostate church system where they expect the pastor to feed them a few scriptures on Sundays. They never grow up past the milk to learn more, overcome in the trials, and grow up past their denomination, like the exhortations for the churches in Rev 2 and 3.)     (2Ti 3:7 ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. Heb 5:11-14 …seeing ye are become dull of hearing. (from the fast-food diet) 12 For when by reason of the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need again that someone teach you the rudiments of the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of solid food. 13 For every one that partaketh of milk is without experience of the word of righteousness; for he is a babe. 14 But solid food is for fullgrown men, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern good and evil.)    All the other adults who outgrew wearing diapers got annoyed with the people still in diapers and didn't want to change them anymore, so they all left, and my husband and I were left alone to change their diapers and look after them. (We are to come out from among them when we've outgrown the denominations and realize we can't help those who don't want to change, meaning repent. 2Co 6:17-18 Wherefore Come ye out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, And touch no unclean thing; And I will receive you, 18 And will be to you a Father, And ye shall be to me sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.)    We felt bad for them and wanted to help them come out of their diapers and for them to be able to take care of themselves. (We want them to grow up and come out of the apostate churches, like the first disciples did. So they can mature into the image of Christ.) We kept trying to encourage them all to stay calm and be at peace through all their trials and to have joy no matter what happens, everything is better. But they ignored all advice and kept complaining in all their trials. Pro 13:18 Poverty and shame shall be to him that refuseth correction;… Pro 22:15 Foolishness is bound up in the heart of a child;… 1Co 10:10 Neither murmur ye, as some of them murmured, and perished by the destroyer.    My husband and I were constantly on call with the diaper changing and were always woken up multiple times each night as we were the only ones left on call to help these people.   They also walked so slow and gave into distractions (Again, the fast-food diet makes one weak in their walk and slow to understand and they don't grow up to overcome fleshy distractions.) whereas we just wanted to continue the journey and to keep focused and not stop for meaningless things. Many times we felt to just continue the journey alone as it would go much quicker and be a lot more enjoyable alone, not having to deal with all these people's problems.   (Yes, it is better to leave than to continue with those who refuse to listen. We are commanded to leave them and follow Jesus. Judgement is coming to the apostate churches to motivate them with the fear of the Lord. Mar 9:19 And he answereth them and saith, O faithless generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I bear with you?... Psa 45:10-11 Hearken, O daughter, and consider, and incline thine ear; Forget also thine own people, and thy father's house: 11 So will the king desire thy beauty; For he is thy lord; and reverence thou him.)    The people kept wanting to stop in certain towns for long periods of time to just relax, which we did not want to do but because we were out voted and the people complained so much, we had no choice. (We are running a race against time to bear the fruit of Christ. Many want to stop and settle down in a church denomination and many eventually die there. Pro 16:25 There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, But the end thereof are the ways of death.)    The people always wanted to stop in playgrounds and play around which we felt was a waste of time but because they all wanted it; we had to stand and watch them all play on the swings and the slide. (Many are deceived by their doctrines and traditions of religion and just want to play church, believing they are saved and have no motivation to go any further in Christ. These children are like the Israelites who tested God in the wilderness. He was not pleased with them, and they perished in the wilderness. 1Co 10:5-7 Howbeit with most of them God was not well pleased: for they were overthrown in the wilderness. 6 Now these things were our examples, to the intent we should not lust after evil things, as they also lusted. 7 Neither be ye idolaters, as were some of them; as it is written, The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play.)    A few of them complained that we never go on the playground with them, so we went up this huge, high tower, which had a slide. (The high tower is the Lord, Who is our place of safety in heavenly places.) While up there we decided to encourage all of them to grow out of their diapers and share with them how amazing it is to not have to wear a diaper anymore and life is much better without it. We didn't force it on them but lovingly encouraged and testified of our experience. Every single one of them spoke about how they are comfortable in the diaper and happy with it and they don't want to change. (This is how many of the church goers are in denominations, they don't want to change. They are comfortable with their traditions and easy flesh pleasing doctrines, and they never grow up in Christ.)    This really confused us as we know it's not fun wearing a diaper and it honestly was a giant burden on us having to change everyone's diaper all the time even though they were adults and should easily learn to look after themselves.     My husband and I slid down the slide disappointed that they were all comfortable staying in diapers. There were not enough people to change all these diapers and this job was a giant burden on us, especially because they didn't want to change. (I.e. they don't want to be free of the waste of the old life.  They don't want to leave it behind.)   That night my husband and I were talking about maybe we should just run away from them and continue the journey on our own but then someone called out in need of a diaper change. I woke up. (You can share the Word with them and your testimonies to encourage them to leave the waste behind, but unless they have ears to hear and it's their time, you are wasting your time there with them. We are longsuffering with the immature, but eventually the righteous need to obey Jesus and follow Him out, and not looking back.)    Daughter Of The Harlot   Winnie Osegueda 3/13/2022 (David's notes in red)     I was with my friend on a train in the NYC subway. (This is a friend of mine whom the Lord has been warning to come out of the current denomination-false church she is in.) There was a very dark skinned, overweight woman riding the subway as well. (She represents the church. She is dark-skinned and overweight because the Lord is using her as a parable for walking in darkness and full of flesh/self/demons.) I didn't know her, but my friend Venessa knew her. She was apparently Steve Harvey's daughter. (Steve Harvey is a celebrity and self-proclaimed Christian, but is very carnal and worldly. He could represent a false Jesus and Christianity that is very prevalent but looks nothing like the true Father in The Word. He also says there are many ways to God.)    I could see in a vision the woman's mom who had her with Steve Harvey, and she was also a very dark-skinned lady with a black and white afro. It was divided. Black on one side, white on the other. (Her mother represents the mother harlot church Babylon, who we are supposed to depart from as the Word says. The daughter who was riding on the train with us is the daughter of the harlot. The daughters of the harlot are the false denominations that come from the mother church. And her black and white afro could represent a mixture of the holy and profane.)     After she finished talking to her, my friend told me that the woman wanted her to go to her house, but my friend didn't seem to really like this lady too much, even though she was going to her house anyway. (Venessa knows she is not being fed spiritually in her church and that it's not of the Lord, but she is going anyway.) The lady didn't seem to like me very much and I could see that she was studying me closely. (I represent true Christianity and a disciple of Jesus, the daughter of Zion. And just like in Jesus' day, the false church and Pharisees will hate the real Jesus and His disciples.)      I knew if I went with Venessa to her house, she would pretend that she was sick so I couldn't come in. (The denominations do not want the real Jesus of the Bible, nor the ones whom Jesus lives in.) Venessa was going to go anyway even though I don't think she really wanted to. (My friend in real life has wanted to leave, but has had a hard time coming out. I believe there could be witchcraft and manipulation involved, but I know she will escape.)      I could see in a vision the woman's house. It was a very large brick house and I could see that she had a lot of pride in it. (The bricks are a man-made material made out of clay and so they are building their own earthly kingdom and not the kingdom of God. They try to impress people with their earthly kingdom to gain followers and church members, but they make the people twice as much a child of hell than themselves like in Matthew 23.) And it was behind a chain-link fence. (In captivity to their false doctrines, and bondage to the flesh.) The neighborhood didn't look like the best neighborhood and it was very gray outside. (No sun/Son at all; gray represents death.)    At some point in this vision, I could see my friend's brother named Charlie was trying to let a large black dog out from inside the fence, but the door to the gate didn't stay open long enough for it to come out. I believe he was trying to help the dog escape. (The dog could represent the beastly man in bondage and is not able to escape unless they turn to the Lord, the real Jesus.)     The lady then decided that I could come to her house after all, and I believe she was having hot dogs for dinner. (Processed man-made food. Not the real food of the Word of God, Jesus, Who is the Manna from heaven. Jesus said His meat was to do the will of the Father in John 4:34.) I feel like this lady wanted to show off her large house and seemed prideful about it, but I had already bought dinner for me and Zoé. And then I woke up.      By faith, I asked the Lord for a Word about this dream and I received:     Isaiah 5:11-12 Woe unto them that rise up early in the morning, that they may follow strong drink; that tarry late into the night, till wine inflame them! 12 And the harp and the lute, the tabret and the pipe, and wine, are in their feasts; but they regard not the work of Jehovah, neither have they considered the operation of his hands.    Come Out From Among Them  Winnie Osegueda 9/19/21 (David's notes in red)    I dreamt that it was my birthday and we were having a gathering at a large cafeteria for my birthday. (A cafeteria is where we are supposed to eat the unleavened Word of God, but this was a mixed multitude.) There were two groups of people there - Local UBM, as well as a church that Chuc and I were once part of when we lived in North Carolina.   When I first walked in, David approached me, took me to the side, and put his right arm around me as I was standing to his right, and gently spoke into my ear and said that the people had to leave by 10:42. (Ten represents law. In Rev 11:2, the outer court (The flesh) of the temple was to be given to the Gentiles, who would trample the holy city (bride) underfoot for forty-twomonths. When this crucifixion of the Bride is over the apostates will be gone from her and the Lord in the Man-child will come to her to lead her.)   This was because Anna had an appointment there with her baby. (David represents the Man-Child and Anna, the bride (Who has borne fruit), which has an appointed time. (The mixed multitude has to leave the bride before the coming of the Man-child to her as we have learned. We have been in this process and the last ones may have just left. 10:42 represents the time given the bride to bear fruit by the leaving of the last apostates.) I said okay, but wondered about the short amount of time that we had to hang out and have pizza. (A mixed assortment of food will be up when the Man-child comes for the bride.)    I walked further into the cafeteria and I saw UBM on the right and our old church on the left. (The sheep on the right and the goats on the left.)(Those who factioned out are always on the left in our dreams.) At first the old church's main pastor was on the right, as well as his son, but then I saw that they were now on the left side. (He was possibly once on the right in the beginning of his Christian walk, but gave into worldly lusts and fell to the left as many do who put themselves into a position of authority.)   I went to say hello to the Pastor of the previous church, and he had a very thick black beard, which he does not have in real life, as well as black hair on his head. (Black haired represents being submitted to darkness.) He seemed to be a bit standoffish when I went to speak with him. I then saw his son, who is a man in his late 20s, early 30s, holding a clear and black plastic container.(Our outer man is a container for the spirit man. Black here means walking in darkness.)   It had flat wood pieces in it. (Representing the works of the flesh. The part of the container that was clear represents that his flesh was seen by others.1Co 3:12-13 But if any man buildeth on the foundation gold, silver, costly stones, wood, hay, stubble; 13 each man's work shall be made manifest…)     He was holding it out, so at first, I thought he was giving it to me as a birthday gift, but then realized quickly it was for him to play Jenga, with some other people at his table. (Jenga is a block stacking game where each person pulls a block out below until the stack becomes unstable and falls and they lose. I would say their foundation is unstable.)  I began to talk to him about how we would play that game with our 4-year-old daughter, Zoe', but I again was met with a cold response, like there was no interest in engaging in dialogue with me whatsoever.    I decided to leave at this point with Chuc, Angelica, Crystal, and India. Angelica said we needed to go to the next city, so that Crystal could get the pasta sauce she had been looking for. (The pasta sauce could represent the blood of Jesus.) I got in the car with Chuc, India, and Crystal and Angelica drove in her car to our right.   Angelica then calls India on the phone, and I can see her from my window speaking to India. She told India that I was supposed to have received 50-dollar gift cards from them (referring to the previous church) as a birthday gift.(50 represents the Holy Spirit who came on Pentecost meaning 50. This feast was known as the “feast of harvest” or the “day of first-fruits”. We receive power to be in the first-fruits harvest when we receive the Holy Spirit. And 50 also represents a Jubilee or freedom from bondage. If a Church does not supply this “gift” it is a failure and should close its doors.)   The Lord showed Angelica they didn't give the gift because they had a spirit of jealousy. India then passes the phone to me so that Angelica could speak to me, but there was some interference and I couldn't hear her. (Did they pick up Witchcraft there? They had the false revival spirit below.) I was asking her a question that felt very important (I do not remember what it was), but because of the interference, I could not make out the answer, so I told her that she could just tell me in person. (Confusion is Babylon come out.)   Just when we were about to end our conversation, I asked her to please call David and let him know that I left and if he could just have all the people leave. (So the Man-child could receive His Bride who had born fruit.) Then Chuc woke me up saying, "It's 9:30." (The nineth hour was the end of the crucifixion for Jesus. The Day of Atonement was on the nineth day of the 7thHebrew month. 30 is the age when a priest could begin service. Jesus was 30. The Man-child will begin spiritually at 30 when He comes for the bride.   I also woke up to Crystal sending me a video of our old church because she wanted to show me that they had let in a false revival spirit. This was definitely not a coincidence.     I texted Angelica about the dream not knowing that she had just asked the Lord for a word by faith and received: 2 Cor 6:17-18 Wherefore Come ye out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, And touch no unclean thing; And I will receive you, 18 And will be to you a Father, And ye shall be to me sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty. She also was not aware of the dream I just had.     I was pondering on the dream and thought about David saying that they had to leave by 10:42. I was led to open up the four gospels and the Book of Acts to chapter 10 and verse 42 in each book. Three out of the four gospels end in verse 42, which I do not believe is by chance. (The 42 time ends with the sanctification of the Bride of the apostates so in this way it is positive.)   Matthew 10:42 And whosoever shall give to drink unto one of these little ones a cup of cold water only, in the name of a disciple, verily I say unto you he shall in no wise lose his reward.      Luke 10:42 but one thing is needful: for Mary hath chosen the good part, which shall not be taken away from her.    John 10:41-42 And many came unto him; and they said, John indeed did no sign: but all things whatsoever John spake of this man were true. 42 And many believed on him there.     Acts 10:42 And he charged us to preach unto the people, and to testify that this is he who is ordained of God to be the Judge of the living and the dead. 

Let's talk about the rapture! In Rev. 4, John is "caught up" to heaven there at the end of the first century, providing a "picture" for us as believers living in the twenty-first century. What will the rapture be like? How will those who are left behind explain the sudden disappearance of so many people? Let's dig in to God's Word together!

In this week's study, I continue in Chapter 15 verses 2 and 3. Before I begin, to go into this study I once again go into a rant on some of the current events that affected our daily life. I talk about the attack on Israel and how BLM supports the case for the Hamas. I share with the listeners an article by Pastor Chuck Baldwin titled “What Does the Hamas/Israeli War Portend for Bible Prophecy'. Chapter 15 is the final chapter and the climax of the “Introduction to the Bowls”, which began with chapter 12.The angels of verse 1 are prepared to deliver Yahweh's wrath. However, before proceeding directly into the wrath, we see a pause in order to make a point: Yahweh's wrath is justified. For in them is filled up the wrath of Yahweh = That is, in regard to the beast and his image. All the expressions of the divine indignation toward that oppressive and persecuting power will be completed or exhausted by the pouring out of the contents of these vials.What is about to happen is great and marvelous because the unholy trinity of the dragon and of the beast and the false prophet, along with all who worship them are about to be judged. 2             And I saw as it were a sea of glass = In Rev. 4:6, a similar vision is recorded - “And before the throne there was a sea of glass, like unto crystal.”In Chapter 13 we read of that politically beast rising out of the sea. Can we say that is the negative of Yahweh's plan?Mingled with fire = That is, a portion of the sea was red like fire. It was not all clear and transparent, as in Rev. 4:6, but it was as it were a checkered expanse, composed in part of what seemed to be glass, and in part of a material of a red or fiery color.And them that had gotten the victory over the beast = Rev. 13:11. they who had gained a victory in times of persecution and temptation; or they whom the “beast” had not been able, by the arts or by force, to subdue.And over his image = See Rev. 13:14-15. that they had not been led to apostatize by the dread of the power represented here by the “image of the beast.”And over his mark = See Rev. 13:16. Over all the attempts of the religious beast to fix his mark upon them, or to designate them as his own.And over the number of his name = See Rev. 13:17-18. Over all the attempts to fix upon them that mysterious number which expressed his name.Victory, Beast, Image and Name = 4 items, those being of the earth, for the number 4 is symbolic of earth.Stand on the sea of glass = That is, before Yahweh. They are now seen in heaven, redeemed and triumphant.Having the harps of Yahweh = Harps that pertained to the worship of Yahweh; harps to be employed in his praise. See Rev. 14:2.These “victorious” ones are the saints who were described earlier in this bowl introduction (Rev 12:11).Now will you notice also the text says, “Those who had come off victorious from the beast and from his image and from the number of his name, standing on the sea of glass, holding harps of Yahweh.” Now this is a picture of the saints who have been saved during the tribulation and are martyred for their faith, yet those who have triumph over the beast, over the antichrist. This is a picture of those who refused to bow to his image nor would they wear the number of his name. So we have seen a sign great and marvelous and a sea of consuming fire and, thirdly, we see and hear a song of triumphant deliverance in verse 3.The song which is sung in this Sixth Vision is both old and new, for it is the song of Moses and of the LambJoin me as we go Chapter by Chapter, Verse by Verse, Unraveling the Words of Yahweh! Have any questions?

In this continuing study I take a look at the Rapture Doctrine. Is this a Pre-Trib, as taught in most mainstream Churches are do Christians go through the Tribulation Period? I compare Thessalonians to Matthew 24 along with Revelation. I venture into Paul's writings to explore what he has to say, along with what Yahweh says in Ezekiel. I also ask the listeners to grab a pencil and paper as we create charts for comparison as we get deeper into this study. In this Part 44 I continue our study in this Matthew 24 verse 31. I start laying the foundation for a Chart titled “Wrath of Yahweh”. Take note that there is NOT ONE VERSE that we covered so far that describes a Pre-Trip Rapture! Heb 1:1  Yahweh, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, Heb 1:2  Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds; Heb 1:3  Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high; 31               He shall send his angels. = The words are unforgettable as the recognized expansion of what had been, as it were, hinted before in the parables of the TaresWith a great sound of a trumpet = The better MSS. omit “sound:” With a great trumpet.trumpet = the 7th, the farthest one out. Always in the Greek7th seal 7th trumpet Read Rev. 11:15-19; 16:17-21They shall gather = quoted from Deut. 30:4. See also 1 Thess.4:16-17Elect = ek-lek-tos'. elect; by implication favorite. These are those who “received the Word”. Acts 2:41; 1 Thess. 2:13From = ‘ek' out ofThe 4 winds = moving into a concentrated area. The 4 winds are always referring to the end time. In Rev. 7:1 the 4 winds are being held back till the sounding of the 7th trumpet. Keep in mind that these 4 winds of the spirits of Ezekiel 37, Rev. 7 and Daniel 7.The 4 subjects that we will be using are, “Yahweh's Wrath”, “Day of the Lord”, “Coming as a Thief”, "Coming of the Lord”The verses that I will be using, Rev. 15-19; Zeph. 1:15-19; Joel 2:10-31; 2 Peter 3:10; 1 Thess. 5:2; Matt. 24:42-43; 1 Corin. 1:6-8; 2 Thess. 2:1-2; Matt. 24:29-31Don't end up like those in Hosea 4:6 ‘My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God (Elohim), I will also forget thy children.'But, be like those in 2Timothy 2:15 ‘Study to shew thyself approved unto God (Yahweh), a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.'Have any questions?

In Rev. Katie Heishman's message for Palm Sunday, Katie blesses the palms that matter most — our palms.

In this week's study, I continue in Chapter 11 verses 7 and 8. Keep in mind that at this point in time we are in the 6th trumpet, 5th seal, as we have learned in a prior study that the 6th seal, 7th trumpet and 7th vial all show the same events, Earthquakes, sun black, moon blood, stars fall, mountains islands move, Yahweh Wrath, great voices, lightings voices thunders and great hail.  In verses 3-14 we have the account of the Two Witnesses, one of the most serious and mysterious scenes of the whole Apocalypse. It is the test of all interpretations, and one over which many make shipwreck. The particulars of the mission of these Two Witnesses are given with great detail.No harm can come to them during their witness. Not till their testimony is completed can they be injured or overcome. Till then they are invincible. As with "the Faithful Witness" Himself, so with them. Not till His hour had come could His enemies lay their hands on Him. (See John 6:6, 8, 30; 8:20; 12:23; 13:1; 17:1, 11).In our last study we seen these 2 witnesses come to their power to inflict judgments on mankind, as in the forms of fire being cast out of their mouths, and the fact that if any man will attempt to hurt them that the 2 witnesses of the power to kill those individuals. Also we read about the power to shut up heaven that ceases the rain to fall upon the earth and having that same power to turn the water in blood. Hold on for a second. Over the years you have heard me talk about positives and negatives contained within the Scriptures. Well I believe that we have another one of these positives and negatives. In Rev. 13 beginning with verse 13 we read about the false prophet. As I read those scriptures see if you pick up on the negative of what the 2 witnesses are doing.And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon. And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed. And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men, And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live. Did you catch that negative in verse 13? And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men, As the 2 witnessess are shutting the doors to heaven in Rev. 11:6, we see the false prophet is calling for fire to come down from heaven. What is so interesting to me, is the fact that the 2 witnessess are closing the door for the rains from heaven, the false prophet is calling for the fire, in which the earth will be dry from no rain therefore the fire will be a greater risk to the elements on this earth, especially in the area of Jerusalem!Folks this is a supernatural, spiritual battle going on between heaven and hell! And you and I are caught in the crossfire!My intention is to take this study to a deep level. Don't end up like those in Hosea 4:6 ‘My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God (Elohim), I will also forget thy children.'But, be like those in 2Timothy 2:15 ‘Study to shew thyself approved unto God (Yahweh), a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.'Join me as we go Chapter by Chapter, Verse by Verse, Unraveling the Words of Yahweh!Have any questions?

In this episode, Cole and Terry answer these questions: 1. What is the scroll that the lamb opens? 2. Can Christians today have the gift of prophecy like John? 3. In Rev. 6:9, it mentions the "souls under the altar." Doesn't this, along with the thief on the cross, imply that we go straight to heaven when we die rather than soul sleep? 4. Do we know the identity of the 144,000? How would the Jews of that day have known their tribe?

Questions in this episode: In Rev. 2:11, the letter to Smyrna, what is the second death? In Rev. 2:20, the letter to Thyatira, what does it mean to eat food sacrificed to idols? In Rev. 3:5, the letter to Sardis, what does it mean to have your name blotted out of the book of life? Can you lose your salvation?    Follow the lessons each week at Crossings Community Church, then tune in for the questions every Friday!

Series: All!Scripture: Matthew 15:21-39Title: “Are you at the table with Jesus?” (Darien Gabriel)Heavily relied on David Platt, Kenneth Bailey, and Sean O'Donnell. (See below)Bottom line: Jesus' beloved are those who respond to his invitation to feast with him by grace through faith.Just as the Father sent Jesus to save, satisfy and serve, Jesus sends us to do the same. To multiply disciple-makers around the corner and around the world. Jesus invited everyone to his family feast. You get in by faith. You're invited. Are you going? It's not just a one and done decision. It's a daily, count-the-cost decision that leads to walking with (or without) God. That looks like being sent by Jesus to save, satisfy and serve our neighbors.Discussion questions for group and personal study. Reflect and Discuss1. Like this Gentile Canaanite woman, what unlikely converts has God placed around you? 2. How have you doubted God's power and mercy in relation to such people?3. How does Jesus' interaction with this Canaanite woman and His feeding of the Gentile crowd help forecast the Great Commission in Matthew 28:18-20?Final Questions (optional or in place of above)What is God saying to you right now? What are you going to do about it?Find our sermons, podcasts, discussion questions and notes at https://www.gracetoday.net/podcastQ. What do I want you to know? A. Jesus invites you to come and feast with him and his family by grace through faith. Q. Why? A. To empower us to save, satisfy and serve all peoples of all nations. Q. What do I want you to do? A. Accept his invitation by faith.Q. Why? A. So that you'll be propelled to save, satisfy and serve your neighbors. INTROOur kitchen table is sacred ground in our house to Anita and I. It's where we've shared over 2,100 meals with our family of six plus for over 30 years. Sitting at the head of that table might be my favorite place in the house…maybe in the world. Why? Because from there, when they are all in our house together, along with their growing families, I can see and speak to our closest family members. It is there where for a few seconds before we dive into our latest feast that I can pray another blessing over them and say an encouraging word to them. For a brief moment I have their undivided attention and I can remind them that they are our beloved. Do you feel like Jesus' beloved today?In Rev 3:20, Jesus asks to come in and sit at our table. And while he's there he will remind us that we're his beloved and bless us. Our Lord uses a similar metaphor in an unlikely place here today. He's outside of Israel giving his 12 a peak at the future of his kingdom.Today I want to answer 2 questions:Who's invited to sit at the table of the Lord?How do you get there?The final question I'll have for you is: will you join him at his table today?CONTEXTJesus and his disciples leave Israeli territory and go to Gentile territory. First, they go to Tyre and Sidon (modern day Lebanon). Next, they go to the decapolis (a region east of Judea made up of 10 Gentile cities). This marks the last time Jesus will do ministry in the Galilean region as his remaining ministry will happen in Judea and especially in Jerusalem. It is also the only season he will enter Gentile territory.The religious leaders make a trip to where Jesus and his disciples are ministering to continue to confront him with the hopes of exposing him and condemning him. Notice that this is in the wake of some pretty amazing miracles and teachings. He's fed over 5,000 men plus women and children with a few loaves and fish. He's walked on water across the Sea of Galilee. He continues to heal all who come to him including just by walking by them and they reaching out to touch his cloak. He's gaining immense popularity as a result. He's being seen as a Messiah if not THE Messiah by the populace. Even Canaanite women knows about him and that he's the Messiah. As a result, the religious leaders are getting desperate. A leader like this will disrupt the status quo with Rome. And this means the loss of influence and affluence for the religious leaders of Israel. All of this challenges the Disciples and their prejudices against Gentiles. Jesus takes them to Gentile (unclean) territory (after his lesson on what is unclean comes from your heart not from what you eat) and immediately blesses a Gentile (Canaanite = enemy; woman = less than a man) and her daughter. He then blesses thousands of Gentiles (through his D's) just like he did the Jews earlier. This would help them to see that his vision is for more than Israel—it's for the whole world!2 Themes. 2 Miracles.I. Who's invited to the family feast? Everyone. (21-28)A. Jesus takes them to Gentile territory. Not sure why but he isn't getting away from being known and sought after.B. Canaanite woman.Strike 1–Canaanite. Ancient enemy of Israel. Strike 2–Woman. Less than a man in the eyes of men in that day.Strike 3–Gentile. A dog. C. Model of faith.Desperate. “Crying out” Her daughter “is demon-possessed and suffering terribly.” I can't imagine being demon possessed. But she makes it sound like this is worse than normal possessions. Humble, respectful. Even if just being respectful, called him Lord. Messiah. She uses the title for Messiah, “Son of David.”D. Jesus' & Disciples' reactionsJesus is silent. Disciples are not interested in helping. (Everyone is exhausted and hungry) 3 Days.Jesus replies with a discouraging word. But truth.She doesn't disagree. In fact, she kneels and prays profoundly, “Lord, help me!”Jesus again appears to discourage her. (More likely testing) Explains it's not right to take what is for God's people and give to those who are his enemies. Calls her a dog. A “little dog” like a pet, not a rabid dog. But still a dog. She doesn't flinch but does disagree. Points out that it's appropriate for people to get this crumbs. She may not be the kids at the table but there's room for the pet dog to get some. She understands and therefore knows what's available for her. Great faith!What a contrast to the faith (or lack) of the religious leaders (none) and the 12 (little).Why did Jesus ignore, refuse, rebuke and then bless her? 2 possibilities:To test herShe approached Jesus as a Jew (Son of David). Later she calls him Lord which is more universal. She doesn't have to become a Jew first. (Wiersbe)Jesus applauds her amazing faith. Only 2 people get this accolade in Matthew (Centurion is the other).Jesus answers her prayer without going anywhere. II. How do you get in? Faith. (29-39)A. Feels like a repeat of feeding of the 5,000. Lots of things are this same.Thousands of men + women and children. Bread and fish.Gave, gave, gave.Through his 12.Lots of leftovers.B. Differences…a few.Biggest is likely that this was for Gentiles, not Jews. This is why I think the 12 did not suggest he feed them like he just fed the others. I don't think it was a lack of faith but compassion. My take.One in spring and one in summer.One in Jewish territory and one in Gentile territory.Crowd with him one day vs 3 days.7 instead of 12. 12 tribes of Israel7 number of perfection & completeness = rest of the world; this is a huge takeaway Jesus would emphasize in the Great Commission.C. Bottom line: How do you get healed and fed? Faith in Jesus Christ, the source of abundant life and life itself.CONCLUSIONHave you been invited to the family feast to end all feasts? Yes.Have you accepted it? How? By believing that there is an amazing feast that we do not deserve and that when we trust and follow Jesus Christ, he shows us the way there. Will you trust and follow Jesus to the feast today?What is God saying to you? What are you going to do about it?PrayNOTES2 miraclesCanaanite Woman (21-28)Least, last, lostCanaanite/Gentile/ancient enemy of IsraelWomanUnclean—outside of Disciple's comfort zone“Crying out”Desperate for her daughter—demon-possessed and suffering“Have mercy on me!” - desperate for herself tooHuman—she's just like them just not a JewDisciples reaction is to see her great need vs their great lack of resources; but maybe even more they don't want to help her because of their prejudiceSend her away—she's not one of usShe's crazy desperate and Jesus seems to not want to help her (his silence) so they try to get rid of her for JesusJesus comes out with his mission—to the lost sheep of IsraelShe is persistent, desperate and believes in Jesus' character and competencies“Lord”On her knees humilityWise words and perspectiveJesus recognizes great faith and gives her her requestHealing for daughterHealing for herselfWitness to the DecapolisWho is Jesus and what will he do?Who is Jesus?What will he do?Chief missionary, Disciple-maker/trainer, sent-oneMultiplying disciple-makers on his way to the ultimate example (cross, rez)Lord/Son of David/ King/Messiah/MasterExercising ultimate authority over all things including disease, demons, disciple-makingMerciful judge “Have mercy on me” as if she doesn't deserve itExercising ultimate authority over all things including disease, demons, disciple-makingDeliverer/Savior/HealerSave/Deliver; Exalt Gentile woman; Applauds her faith & persistence; save all people; not just IsraelGlobal KingHere for all nationsSuffering servantServe all people/nationsProvider; GroomFeast together; satisfy/bless all nationsJesus came to save, satisfy and serve all people. -PlattOUTLINE BIBLESECTION OUTLINE FOURTEEN (MATTHEW 15)Jesus confronts the Pharisees, teaches the crowds, and explains his teachings to Peter and the other disciples.

The abundance of food (15:35-39): Seven full baskets remain after all have eaten their fill!Nicky Gumbel, Bible in one year, day, 14 Matthew 11:16-30Accept the invitation to walk with JesusThe teaching of Jesus is fascinating. In the first section of today's passage he seems to be saying, ‘You can't win.' On the one hand, John the Baptist was an ascetic and was accused of being demon-possessed. On the other hand, Jesus went to parties with all kinds of people and made friends with those who were regarded as unsavoury characters. He was accused of being ‘a glutton and a drunkard' and ‘a friend of tax collectors and sinners' (v.18).Whatever you do may be misinterpreted. Yet Jesus adds, ‘But wisdom is proved right by her actions' (v.19). I take this to mean that all we can do is the right thing and not worry about what anybody else thinks. ‘Opinion polls don't count for much, do they? The proof of the pudding is in the eating' (v.19, MSG).Jesus then denounces the cities that he has visited and performed miracles in, where people have neither repented nor believed. He suggests that their sin is worse than the sin of Sodom (v.24). The sin of unbelief is perhaps the most serious of all.Jesus goes on to teach in such a way that it is clear that he believed in both predestination (that God has already determined everything that will happen) and free will. He teaches both alongside one another. It is a paradox. The two seemingly contradictory things are both true at the same time.It is not 50% ‘predestination' and 50% ‘free will'. Jesus says we are 100% predestined and we have 100% free will. This may seem impossible, but God is able to transcend and yet not distort human freedom. We ultimately see this in the incarnation: Jesus is 100% God and 100% human; he is fully God and fully human.Predestination‘All things have been committed to me by my Father. No one knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and those to whom the Son chooses to reveal him' (v.27).Why God chooses to reveal himself to some and not to others is a mystery. It is certainly not based on wisdom and learning. Sometimes the great intellectuals simply cannot see it: ‘you have hidden these things from the wise and learned' (v.25). And yet sometimes people of little or no education, or those who are very young (‘little children', v.25), seem to have a very profound understanding of Jesus. ‘You've concealed your way from sophisticates and know-it-alls, but spelled them out clearly to ordinary people' (v.25, MSG).Free willJesus says, ‘Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest' (v.28). The invitation to come to Jesus is for everyone. No one is excluded. We are all invited. We all have a choice whether to accept the invitation of Jesus or to refuse it.I find it difficult to get my mind around this paradox. However, I have found the following illustration helpful. Imagine a room with an arched doorway. The outside of the arch is inscribed with the words, ‘Come to me, all you…' (v.28). Everyone is invited into the room. When you get into the room, on the inside of the same arch is written, ‘No one knows the Father except the Son and those to whom the Son chooses to reveal him' (v.27b).In other words, free will is a doctrine for everyone. No one can say, ‘I am not going to become a Christian because I have not been chosen.' The invitation is to all. On the other hand, predestination is a doctrine of assurance for those who areChristians. Once you have accepted the invitation and entered, you can know that God has chosen you and therefore he will not let you go.I love the fact that in a stressful world, where so many are ‘weary and burdened', Jesus promises you rest. He offers to take your burdens and replace them with his own.The yoke (something that Jesus would have made in the carpenter's shop) was a wooden frame joining two animals (usually oxen) at the neck, enabling them to pull a plough or wagon together. The function of the yoke is to make burdens easier to carry. I love this image of walking in step with Jesus, sharing our burdens, making the trials to be endured and the battles to be faced ‘easy' and ‘light' by comparison.Jesus is not a slave driver. When you pursue his agenda for your life you carry a burden but it is ‘not harsh, hard, sharp, or pressing, but comfortable, gracious, and pleasant' (v.30, AMP). When you do what Jesus asks you to do, he gives you the strength and wisdom to do it and you carry his burden with him. There will, of course, be many challenges and difficulties, but there will also be a lightness and ease.Jesus says to you: ‘Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to me. Get away with me and you'll recover your life. I'll show you how to take a real rest. Walk with me and work with me – watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. I won't lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. Keep company with me and you'll learn to live freely and lightly' (vv.28–29, MSG). Just relax and let God be God.References/Bibliography:“Preaching the Word” Commentary, Douglas Sean O'Donnell, Edited by Kent Hughes“Matthew” by RC Sproul“CSB Christ Chronological,” Holman“The Bible Knowledge Commentary” by Walvoord, Zuck (BKC)“The Bible Exposition Commentary” by Warren Wiersbe (BEC)“Exalting Jesus in Matthew” by David Platt (CCE)Outline Bible, D WillmingtonNIV Study Bible (NIVSB)ESV Study Bible“Jesus Through Middle Eastern Eyes” by Kenneth E.

Now, the number 20 million dead sounds absolutely ridiculous at first glance, but when you dig into the data, it makes sense. Here is how Peter came to the 20 million number. So, EU+US deaths (EUDRA + VAERS) = 13,972 + 46,999 = 60,971 deaths and EU+US injuries = 854,084 + 6,089,773 = 6,943,857 (multiple per person, half of which are “serious”). Multiply by 40 for URF (underreporting factor) and then (multiply) by 8 to “globalize” (the total number). Global deaths are around 19.5 million SO FAR, and global injuries are around 2.2 billion. Those injuries are likely to develop into “conditions” and then morbidities. WHO do you believe?   Dr. Roger Hodkinson, an esteemed Canadian pathologist, joined Laura-Lynn Tyler Thompson in a video interview, where he discussed these horrifying numbers. These numbers are best estimates, at this point in time, using government data for the global consequences of the clot shot in terms of death and morbidity … Now, these numbers are beyond staggering. To contrast that with history, vaccines have typically been pulled from the market – the last one, the bird flu vaccine – was pulled with only 35 … deaths. I hope people can appreciate the scale of what is going on here. An unimaginable carnage WHICH ISN'T OVER because that number – first of all, is the current estimate. It does not include future deaths of a similar type, which will be cumulative on top of that. It does not include stillbirths. It does not include those avoidable deaths due to having had a one-disease healthcare system for two and a half years, with people not being treated or investigated for cancer …, for example. Those numbers are not included. The numbers from the lockdowns, the suicides, are not included. And also not included are the future deaths that we're anticipating from a rapid increase in the rate of cancer presentations and fatal infections because of immune suppression induced by the clot shot. Those factors are IN ADDITION TO those jaw-dropping numbers that I just mentioned. This is truly horrifying to think about, and there's no doubt – this is a war on humanity. Those responsible and complicit in this crime against humanity NEED to be held accountable. Luckily, we have people like attorney Tom Renz, Dr. Henry Ealy, Dr. David Martin, and others working hard to make that happen.   Biden's Executive Order Designed to Release Transhumanist Hell on America Gateway Pundit by Jim Hoft - 9/13/22 If anyone needed proof that the powers pushing the levers behind the mindless moron who sits in the Oval Office are fully on board with the World Economic Forum/United Nations agenda of biomedical tyranny and trans-humanism, look no further than the executive order that Joe Biden signed on Monday, September 12. By quietly getting Biden's signature on this document, his handlers may have given us the most ominous sign yet that we stand on the threshold of a technocratic one-world beast system. Prepare to make your stand because it's about to get much more intense. This document's Orwellian title, Executive Order on Advancing Biotechnology and Biomanufacturing Innovation for a Sustainable, Safe, and Secure American Bioeconomy, will assure that its significance will fly right over the heads of 99 percent of the media, even the conservative media. They will read it and yawn. I plead with everyone reading this article to please not make that same mistake. Here is a quote from the Biden Executive order:   "For biotechnology and biomanufacturing to help us achieve our societal goals, the United States needs to invest in foundational scientific capabilities, We need to develop genetic engineering technologies and techniques to be able to write circuitry for cells and predictably program biology in the same way in which we write software and program computers; unlock the power of biological data, including through computing tools and artificial intelligence; and advance the science of scale‑up production while reducing the obstacles for commercialization so that innovative technologies and products can reach markets faster."   Because of the arcane scientific language in which this document (above) is written, even most of those who take the time to read and study it (I assure you Biden did not) will not fully grasp what is being ordered by the White House. Karen Kingston, a former Pfizer employee and current analyst for the pharmaceutical and medical-device industries, helps us decipher what's going on in this executive order. Kingston stated in a Twitter post: “Let me read between the lines for America. Biden's Sept. 12, 2022, executive order declares that Americans must surrender all human rights that stand in the way of trans-humanism. Clinical trial safety standards and informed consent will be eradicated as they stand in the way of universally unleashing gene-editing technologies needed to merge humans with A.I. In order to achieve the societal goals of the New World Order, crimes against humanity are not only legal, but mandatory.” Patrick Wood, an economist and author of several books on technocracy, has been following the trans-humanist and global technocracy movements for four decades. He told me that Kingston is not overstating the issue. He said this E.O. is proof that the executive branch is now owned lock, stock and barrel by the biomedical/pharmaceutical industry. It will be Katy bar the door from here on out. “The trans-humanists within Big Pharma have completely taken over government policy and taxpayer funds to promote their own anti-human agenda of hacking the software of life,” Wood told me. “It also clearly demonstrates who has the power, and who sets the policies in America.” The mRNA injections that have already gone into the bodies of at least 70 percent of adults in the U.S. mark the gateway to trans-humanism. We have been told this by Kingston as well as by the late Dr. Zev Zelenko and Dr. Robert Malone, a co-inventor of the mRNA platform. LeoHohmann.com was one of the first sites to blow the whistle on Moderna's former chief medical officer, Tal Zaks, who told the world straight up in December 2017 that “We have hacked the software of life,” and that this mRNA gene-editing biotechnology would be incorporated into vaccines to treat and prevent all manner of illnesses. We've seen how well they work, with millions getting sick and even dying after getting two or more doses of the Covid injections offered up by Moderna and Pfizer. With the FDA and CDC now totally on board, this mRNA technology is being included in scores of other vaccines, including flu shots. The September 12 executive order was no doubt put in place as back up for the continued experimentation on the human population, and I expect the vaccine industry will exploit it to the max. Soon we will see the return of vax mandates, this time more ferociously policed and enforced than before. This E.O. may also have been timed at least partly in anticipation of the new pandemic treaty that the Biden administration is hoping to get passed through the United Nations World Health Organization next year. This treaty will transfer sovereignty over matters of “health emergencies” from the national level to the WHO. Wood said the E.O.'s intended consequences is to push the frontier of genetic modification of all living things and especially humans. He believes this will ultimately spark the biggest public backlash in modern history. “Biden pledges not only funding but an all-of-government transformation to support this anti-human scheme from top to bottom,” Wood writes. “It also automatically blocks any agency or department from dissent.” Below are just a few of the highlights quoted directly from the document:   The term “biotechnology” means technology that applies to or is enabled by life sciences innovation or product development.   The term “bio-manufacturing” means the use of biological systems to develop products, tools, and processes at commercial scale.   The term “bioeconomy” means economic activity derived from the life sciences, particularly in the areas of biotechnology and biomanufacturing, and includes industries, products, services, and the workforce.   The term “biological data” means the information, including associated descriptors, derived from the structure, function, or process of a biological system(s) that is measured, collected, or aggregated for analysis.   The term “key R&D areas” includes fundamental R&D of emerging biotechnologies, including engineering biology; predictive engineering of complex biological systems, including the designing, building, testing, and modeling of entire living cells, cell components, or cellular systems; quantitative and theory-driven multi-disciplinary research to maximize convergence with other enabling technologies; and regulatory science, including the development of new information, criteria, tools, models, and approaches to inform and assist regulatory decision-making.  These R&D priorities should be coupled with advances in predictive modeling, data analytics, artificial intelligence, bioinformatics, high-performance and other advanced computing systems, metrology and data-driven standards, and other non-life science enabling technologies.   The term “life sciences” means all sciences that study or use living organisms, viruses, or their products, including all disciplines of biology and all applications of the biological sciences (including biotechnology, genomics, proteomics, bioinformatics, and pharmaceutical and biomedical research and techniques), but excluding scientific studies associated with radioactive materials or toxic chemicals that are not of biological origin or synthetic analogues of toxins.   What this means is that human beings will be data mined for their most personal possession, their DNA and genomic properties, and the government will offer no protection. It will actually be encouraged and seen as a green light for biomedical practitioners worldwide. It is the goal of the technocratic proprietors of Agenda 2030 to catalogue, map out, and monitor every living thing on earth. This was spelled out in the early 2000s by the late researcher Rosa Koire and put into book form in 2011 with “Behind the Green Mask: U.N. Agenda 21.” Koire was a Democrat, but she understood that the takedown of America and indeed every nation of the formerly free world, would not be accomplished by the left or the right but by supranational globalists with an allegiance to no nation. In fact, these globalists detest the nation-state model that has dominated the world for thousands of years. Their goal is a “global governance” and they say it out loud in their own documents. Have no fear. Do not be intimidated. Truth will not be defeated. Humanity will prevail against these anti-human eugenicist monsters because we have living souls and are created in the image of a Holy God with individual free wills. Because of that, we humans are capable of having a personal relationship with Jesus Christ and the one and only triune God of the Bible. Those who take the bait of the globalists and submit to the world system will in essence be handing over their humanity in exchange for empty promises of safety and security. They will become trans-humans, thus foregoing, at some point, their ability to connect with God. That's a very big step and a decision that will face every human being sooner or later as this technology ramps up. Your very soul will depend on the choice you make. Will you follow God or will you follow man? Above all, this is a spiritual battle. Expose the sinister trans-humanist agenda that these globalist predators did their best to keep hidden within a scientific vernacular that they know will wow and mystify the average person. We have decoded it for you in this article from two of the best Christian experts on the topic available in the world today – Karen Kingston and Patrick Wood.   JABBED UNTIL DEATH: Endless mRNA jabs are now planned for multiple vaccine types, including influenza, HIV, RSV, Pneumococcal, Zika and many more Newstarget.com - 08/19/2022 / By Lance D Johnson Now that pharmaceutical companies like Pfizer and Moderna have caused widespread immunosuppression using covid mRNA vaccines, there will soon be a surge of new infections and a gold-rush for new mRNA vaccines. Pharmaceutical companies have already positioned themselves to capitalize on upcoming infections and illnesses that will inevitably plague an excessively immunocompromised population. Endless mRNA jabs are now planned for multiple vaccine types, including coronaviruses, influenza, HIV, leukemia, RSV, Pneumococcal, EBV, HPV, CMV, Nipah Virus, Zika, metapneumovirus and human parainfluenza. In fact, there are currently 80 clinical trials for mRNA vaccines underway, and most of these hasty clinical trials are already convincing people to take part in these experiments. Big Pharma poised to unleash mRNA experiments for multiple infections and illnesses Big Pharma is already promoting vaccines for infections that were once considered rare, like pox viruses (monkeypox) and polio enteroviruses. As new infections spread in heavily vaccinated populations, vaccine campaigns will continue their cycle of fraud and deception. The spike protein mRNA that was unleashed during the covid-19 scandal was a “foot in the door” to program human immune systems for failure (vaccine acquired immunodeficiency syndrome) and to make more people dependent on a never-ending chain of injections, infections, mandates and medical tyranny. One of the new mRNA vaccines includes an updated sequence of the gain-of-function coronavirus spike protein along with influenza virus RNA. Moderna is currently testing out an influenza-covid mRNA vaccine on 1050 participants, with recruitment taking place across the United States. Many of the upcoming clinical trials for new mRNA vaccines are set to be conducted on vulnerable populations and children, with very little oversight. The pre-clinical phase for these combo vaccines has already been approved by the FDA. Big Pharma plans to continue using these lipid nano-particles to circumvent the T-cell response of the human immune system, while programming human cells to churn out foreign toxins. It's an inflammatory, autoimmune nightmare, and it's going to continue without remorse if the developers and enforcers are not held to account for the disasters they helped create with the original covid vaccines. FDA ignores all safety signals for botched mRNA covid vaccine rollout, approves dozens of new mRNA experiments These new genetic experiments are still considered immunizations and are considered biologics in pre-clinical studies. This is fraud, because there are major differences between traditional biologics (vaccines) and these new mRNA experiments. The FDA is ignoring all previous safety signals recorded in the government's pharmacovigilance system. There are no scientific studies being conducted investigating the duration of the mRNA transcription process. Likewise, there are no studies on the quantity and persistence of these foreign proteins in animal bodies, and how they may burden distal organs, inflame the heart or cause protein misfolding. Furthermore, the toxicity of the foreign proteins themselves are not being assessed in any pre-clinical trials. To make matters worse, the vaccine makers are allowed to use the immunosuppressant pseudouridine yet again, with no pre-clinical testing on its safety. Pseudouridine is a synthetic nucleotide used in the covid-19 vaccines. Researchers found that it can stay in the lymph nodes for at least sixty days after injection. The immune system is not breaking down this so-called mRNA from the vaccines in the same way natural mRNA degrades, even though the government regulatory agencies have promised that it would degrade rapidly. To get the initial covid-19 vaccine out to the public, Pfizer and the FDA ignored serious health risks observed in the clinical trials, including issues like antibody dependent enhancement, heart inflammation and immunosuppression. These issues are obviously going unaddressed again as the government advances new experiments that will continue the cycle of sickness and death in the population.   Triple Helix DNA; The Operating Platform for the Mark of the Beast   The following is a rough transcription by Eve Brast of this video link: DNA is the code of life that gives cells the ability to function and gives organisms the ability to develop. mRNA is a tool much like a text editor that can cut, paste and edit DNA strands. We were able to engineer this as a two component system consisting of a single protein and a single RNA that provides scientists the ability to program this enzyme as a molecular scalpel to cut double stranded DNA at sights in the strand that are directed by this piece of RNA. There is a study that just came out of Lund University in Sweden that is very alarming. They have witnessed the first demonstration in a human hepatic or liver cell line of the Pfizer vaccine in fact reverse transcribes and installs DNA into the human genome. Robert Malone the inventor of mRNA technology says that there is a joint report from the government of the UK and Germany about trans humanism. This is one of the agendas of the WEF (World Economic Forum). It's not hidden and it's not a conspiracy. In these reports they talk about mRNA vaccines as an entry point [into the human body to initiate their plans for trans humanism.] A Scientist who was studying the human genome for over 25 years discovered that the human genome is a double helix and each side of the helix is made up of 72,000 genes. 72,000 from the mother and 72,000 from the father. Combined, they equal 144,000 genes total in the human genome. This is a significant number in the Bible in Rev. 7:3-4 and is a signature from God showing that we are created by Him. Now this new mRNA technology that they've come out with introduces a third strand that breaks the double helix and inserts itself, creating a triple helix and adding another 72,000 genes to the DNA strands which equals 216,000 genes. The number of the Beast is 666 or 600+60+6. Now if we multiply 600x60x6 it equals 216,000. It is evident that satan is wanting to re-create mankind in his image by adding in this third strand into the DNA of mankind. If you watch the Queen's Jubilee ceremony on 6/2/22 (=66) in the video link above, you'll see what she did. She lit up a triple helix light strand that traveled to the “Tree of trees” that was also shaped like a strand of DNA. This was symbolic of their Luciferian plans to implement the Mark of the Beast.   The Component System for the Mark Of The Beast Thomas Fulger - 10/26/22 (David's notes in red) As a born again believer I have been studying both the virus and the vaccination ingredients for two years plus now, through both a scientific, lens but most importantly, through a Biblical lens. The Mark Of The Beast is a component system based on the “Charagma” or puncture of the skin via injections.  It consists of such components as: 1.The vaccination's ingredients which are the foundational operating system. See accompanying short video: (a must)   This video below is the science of “The Mark”.  It is from La Quinta Columna and the director is Ricardo Delgado.   They have put in more than twenty thousand hours of research on the virus and the so called vaccines.  They have had their hand on the pulse of the nanotechnology factor from the beginning.   This video pretty much sums up this science with graphics and narrative.  I do not speak Spanish so I turned off the volume and watched the captions along with the pictures.  Truly amazing information! 2. 5G and possibly 6G—This is the symbiotic radiation that ties all components together 3. AI – artificial intelligence/Super Quantum computers 4. Smart phones and applications forthcoming         This component system of The Mark Of The Beast may yet utilize a computer chip implant as well as the Digital ID laws have yet to be fulfilled with a deadline of May 2023 as I understand it. This ID digitalization will also be our “passport” to making purchases.  Another method can also be used to complete the “component system' of The Beast and that is Quantum Dot Technology used as an invisible patch: Once all of these components are integrated and turned on, an individual will be a captured entity; wirelessly wedded to “the world” and not betrothed to The Lord.  Satan will have stolen your soul.  We are entering the harvest season of the last days and Satan, mimicking the Lord, is taking his harvest of souls as well. This is truly the abomination that makes the temple desolate.  As Paul points out Your body is the temple.  1 Co 6:19-20  Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and that you are not your own? 20 For you have been bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body. My answer to Thomas: Yes, I believe almost all is known of their system and though it may have a setback with all this coming to light, it is ready for the time appointed to bring down all lost humanity who are members of the beast body already. God prophesied it and it will come to pass to gather the tares to burn them. The forced abomination that maketh desolate will come about in the middle of the Tribulation. The covenant with many is being made. The wise will be hidden in the secret place of the Most High.   Divine Protection from the Evil Seed Claire Pienaar - 9/25/22 (David's notes in red) I dreamed Riaan owned a large group of chickens. (Riaan represents the Man-Child body, as his name means “little king”.) He had appointed me as the “marketing assistant”. There were no other employees. (The Bride is the “marketing assistant” because she always promotes the Man-child, Jesus, and His business to every “chicken" who will listen.) (I likely represent the Bride body as my name, Claire, means brilliance which denotes the righteous acts of the saints, Rev. 19: 7-8  Let us rejoice and be exceeding glad, and let us give the glory unto him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready. 8 And it was given unto her that she should array herself in fine linen, bright and pure: for the fine linen is the righteous acts of the saints).(These “chickens” are a play on words. They represent the majority of Christians who are currently in the apostate religious system. They don't understand the sovereignty of God and are worried and fearful about many things. Just as Jesus came to speak to these people in His day, so He is in ours.) Three people came to Riaan in business suits and sought to use his chickens for their breeding purposes. There were two men, one younger and one older, and then a woman. (These three represent the DS international corporations who want to use the “chickens of the world” for their own trans humanist agendas. They could also represent the apostate church leadership who is in bed with the DS and seek to place their own seed into Christians.) These 3 were intent on inseminating our chickens with a strange sticky substance. They placed it onto the chicken's wings, and then they would give the chicken a shower and hope the substance would mix with the water and do the insemination. (The chicken wings represent the people's arms that the DS mRNA is injected into. Also, the chicken's wings are what help them overcome the world through flight, but when the seed of men is mixed with the water of the Word, it is powerless to enable the Christians to be over-comers.) I tried to protect all our chickens, but I was no match for these fast-moving professionals. (I really try to protect all my chickens too but some are merely called and others are elect. It's the Bride's job to try to protect God's people from the dangers of the DS in the Government and Church by countering their attempts to defile God's people.) In the dream, we easily had about 1,000 chickens all lined up in rows. Our real-life, white chicken, called Mercy was in the first row. I especially tried to protect Mercy, but they placed this sticky stuff on her wings and I was so upset. (The Mercy chicken represents those that God will have mercy on.) (I received the following verse by faith at random, Eze 39:25  Therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Now will I bring back the captivity of Jacob, and have mercy upon the whole house of Israel; and I will be jealous for my holy name.) I reminded them, then, that nothing would happen because there is only one way to inseminate anything and they had done it incorrectly by placing the stuff on the chickens' wings. They were so frantic in their approach that they failed… [to cause the chickens to bear any good fruit.]. (Christians with totally corrupt DNA want to sow their seed in others. Also, the DS has gotten very sloppy because of their hubris and now their deceptions are seen. The vaccine agenda failed to kill as many people as they wanted.) Nothing gets impregnated from an external application. Then I woke up. Thank you, Lord, for protecting your people from the evil seed!!     Words Heal or Curse Your DNA Deb Horton - 10/26/11 (David's notes in red) Below are Cliffs Notes by Deb Horton of an article which reports that science has finally acknowledged that words have physical power. After removing all the New Age gobbledygook, the article acknowledges that Russian scientists have discovered that spoken words alone can and do reprogram DNA. So the tongue conquers the curse or the tongue can bring the curse. Key points quoted from the article, which is translated from German, so the terminology will sound a little strange in English (my comments in parentheses):   1. DNA can be influenced and reprogrammed by words and frequencies WITHOUT cutting out and replacing single genes. 2. The Russian linguists found that the genetic code, especially in the apparently useless 90% (which has been called "junk DNA"), follows the same rules as all our human languages...(and that) human languages ... are a reflection of our inherent DNA. 3. One can simply use words and sentences of the human language ... to influence genetic information! (i.e. agreeing with the Words that we are not under the curse, that by His stripes we were healed, etc.) This, too, was experimentally proven! Living DNA substance (in living tissue, not in vitro) will always react to language-modulated laser rays and even to radio waves, if the proper frequencies are being used. 4. This finally and scientifically explains why affirmations ...(can) repair genetic defects.(Our confessions of the positive promises of God concerning us and our circumstances change us. Death and life are in the power of the tongue. Pro 18:21  Death and life are in the power of the tongue; And they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.) 5. ...our body is programmable by language, words and thought. This has now been scientifically proven and explained....The individual person must work on the inner processes and maturity in order to establish a conscious communication with the DNA.(i.e., 2Co. 10:5 casting down imaginations, and every high thing that is exalted against the knowledge of God, and bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ;) 6. The Russian scientists also found out that our DNA can cause disturbing patterns ....Stress, worries or a hyperactive intellect prevent (or) distort the communication (and) make it useless. (Isa. 26:3 Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on thee.) 7.  An ordered group consciousness creates order in its whole surroundings! When a great number of people get together very closely, potentials of violence also dissolve. (Rom. 15:5 Now the God of patience and of comfort grant you to be of the same mind one with another according to Christ Jesus:. Rom. 10:10 for with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.) 8. Researchers think that if humans with full individuality would regain group consciousness, they would have a god-like power to create, alter and shape things on Earth! (That would be Christ in us, the hope of glory. Mat 18:19 Again I say unto you, that if two of you shall agree on earth as touching anything that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father who is in heaven. 9. And Mar. 11:23-24 Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou taken up and cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that what he saith cometh to pass; he shall have it. 24 Therefore I say unto you, All things whatsoever ye pray and ask for, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them. ) …   Select Language Afrikaans Albanian Amharic Arabic Armenian Assamese Aymara Azerbaijani Bambara Basque Belarusian Bengali Bhojpuri Bosnian Bulgarian Catalan Cebuano Chichewa Chinese (Simplified) Chinese (Traditional) Corsican Croatian Czech Danish Dhivehi Dogri Dutch Esperanto Estonian Ewe Filipino Finnish French Frisian Galician Georgian German Greek Guarani Gujarati Haitian Creole Hausa Hawaiian Hebrew Hindi Hmong Hungarian Icelandic Igbo Ilocano Indonesian Irish Italian Japanese Javanese Kannada Kazakh Khmer Kinyarwanda Konkani Korean Krio Kurdish (Kurmanji) Kurdish (Sorani) Kyrgyz Lao Latin Latvian Lingala Lithuanian Luganda Luxembourgish Macedonian Maithili Malagasy Malay Malayalam Maltese Maori Marathi Meiteilon (Manipuri) Mizo Mongolian Myanmar (Burmese) Nepali Norwegian Odia (Oriya) Oromo Pashto Persian Polish Portuguese Punjabi Quechua Romanian Russian Samoan Sanskrit Scots Gaelic Sepedi Serbian Sesotho Shona Sindhi Sinhala Slovak Slovenian Somali Spanish Sundanese Swahili Swedish Tajik Tamil Tatar Telugu Thai Tigrinya Tsonga Turkish Turkmen Twi Ukrainian Urdu Uyghur Uzbek Vietnamese Welsh Xhosa Yiddish Yoruba Zulu Powered by Translate Printer-friendly version

Ministering Angels Through UBM (10) (Audio) David Eells - 9/25/22 Victory to Get the 'Respect the Angels' Teaching Transcribed Testimony by: Terri McGinley - 9/14/22 This was a very interesting teaching and I feel very, very blessed to be able to transcribe these, as I learn so much while I'm doing it! P.S. When I first set out to start this transcription, my computer just wouldn't turn on. It was plugged in, and I couldn't find anything that was disconnected. I checked my breaker box and everything. It was only the computer. I texted my husband (the computer expert) but he was busy. Then I remembered that I have authority over this stuff so I commanded it to work in Jesus' Name and it came on! It has been working just fine ever since. Praise the Lord!!! The devil has really been warring against these messages of the angels in this Ministering Angels Through UBM series. Well, I hope everyone listening has their Bibles handy for this study because you're going to need them.   Respect the Angels David Eells I would like to begin by looking at 2 Samuel 24:15. This is an impressive revelation about angels. So many people see angels as a little bit more than robots. Unless you look at a lot of verses about them and the Lord helps you to straighten it out in your mind, you won't get much understanding of them. But I'm beginning to realize how great they are in how much they do, how they have the nature of the Lord and represent Him to us. They do many, many things that are done in the earth by the power of the Holy Spirit. In 2 Sa. 24:15, the Lord sent a pestilence upon Israel, because the Lord was angry with Israel, and He moved David, a good king, to do something wrong and to go number Israel. Sounds strange, doesn't it? God was angry with Israel, so he moved David to number them. You may ask, “What's so bad about that?" Well, God doesn't want us to count on our own strength. That is a dangerous thing if you want the power of the Lord because in our weakness, He's going to be strong. If you're counting on your own strength, you're not going to get the power of the Lord. It makes God angry. It did in this case, so the Lord sent a pestilence because of David's mistake. (2 Sam.24:15-17) …from the morning even to the time appointed; and there died of the people from Dan even to Beer-sheba seventy thousand men. 16 And when the angel stretched out his hand toward Jerusalem to destroy it, the Lord repented him of the evil, and said to the angel that destroyed the people, It is enough; now stay thy hand. And the angel of the Lord was by the threshing-floor of Araunah the Jebusite. 17 And David spake unto the Lord when he saw the angel that smote the people, and said, Lo, I have sinned... Here's the point I would like to make: The Lord is speaking to the angel of the Lord and He said, “That's enough.” Now, why did God need an angel if God Himself was there? Why did He need an angel to strike these 70,000 men of David? Have you ever thought about that? He could have done it Himself, right? Well, God uses vessels. Rich and important men could do things themselves, but they choose to have servants to do those things. God's Spirit uses vessels to do things, quite often. And in this case, that is what He did and He stopped the angel when enough was enough and the angel stopped. The same instance is recorded in (1 Ch.21:15-16) And God sent an angel unto Jerusalem to destroy it: and as he was about to destroy, the Lord beheld, and he repented him of the evil, and said to the destroying angel, It is enough; now stay thy hand. And the angel of the Lord was standing by the threshing-floor of Ornan the Jebusite. 16 And David lifted up his eyes, and saw the angel of the Lord standing between earth and heaven, having a drawn sword in his hand stretched out over Jerusalem. And in verse 27: And the Lord commanded the angel; and he put up his sword again into the sheath thereof. In this instance, it is even more plain that the Lord was speaking to the angel of the Lord and that they're not one and the same as many think. This is important, in my mind, because in the Old Testament, the angel of the Lord does so many fantastic miracles, appears at really important times in the history of Israel, and saves Israel, relieves Israel, and everybody thinks that's the Lord. If you really want to study and know the nature of the angels, you have to look and see what they do. What I am discovering is that these are angels that are being used of the Lord and they must be greater than what we've thought of angels. Even though men were made a little lower than angels, as they mature into sons of God and speak God's Word, they are over the angels and ultimately a higher creation. Heb 2:6-9 But one hath somewhere testified, saying, What is man, that thou art mindful of him? Or the son of man, that thou visitest him? 7  Thou madest him a little lower than the angels; Thou crownedst him with glory and honor, And didst set him over the works of thy hands (including the angels): 8 Thou didst put all things in subjection under his feet. For in that he subjected all things unto him, he left nothing that is not subject to him. But now we see not yet all things subjected to him. 9 But we behold him who hath been made a little lower than the angels, even Jesus, because of the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honor, that by the grace of God he should taste of death for every man. As you will see from this next verse, we will judge  angels. 1Co 6:3  Know ye not that we shall judge angels? how much more, things that pertain to this life?  He's talking about the fallen angels. The angels who didn't fall don't need judging, they do what's right. I've heard people say that we command the angels. And that's not totally true. They only listen to the Word of God. Pastor Roland Buck who wrote the book Angels on Assignment said the same thing. Link: Angels on Assignment Free PDF Download He asked the question of the angels, "Do you do what we command?” And the angels told him that they only obey the voice of God. But how does that work? When we speak in agreement with the Lord and we confess Him before men, the angels move on that because, when we're speaking in agreement with the Lord, we're speaking the Word of the Lord. Jesus said if you confess Him before men, He will confess us in two ways: “before My Father in heaven and before the angels.” He said that both ways, in Matthew 10 and Luke 12 and Revelation 3:5. He said in,(Rev. 3:5) He that overcometh shall thus be arrayed in white garments; and I will in no wise blot his name out of the book of life, and I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels. (Mat.10:32) Every one therefore who shall confess me before men, him will I also confess before my Father who is in heaven. (Luk.12:8) And I say unto you, Every one who shall confess me before men, him shall the Son of man also confess before the angels of God: So what happens? When you speak in agreement with the Word of God, Jesus is our High Priest Who offers the offering of our confession. Hebrews says He's the High Priest of our confession. He offers this before the Father, Whose Holy Spirit is the One Who guides the angels, Who directs the angels, and tells them to move on our behalf. We think this must be a long drawn-out affair, but it can happen in an instant. When we speak in agreement with the Word of God, we loose the angels in a round-about way, going through the Father and through the Son. We release the angels to administer salvation in our circumstances. And when we speak in disagreement with the Word of God, we release the devil in our circumstances and all of that goes in a round-about way too, but it only takes a second. The Holy Spirit is here. He's in God and He monitors everything in all of God's creation and He can manifest it in a moment of time. Someone had a dream about beams of light that came out of heaven to each individual believer. I believe that this symbolizes the Holy Spirit ministering through the angels to each individual believer. I remember Pastor Buck asking an angel, “When we call for help, do you come?” And the angel said, “If we waited until you called, it would be too late.” It is so true, because we don't find out something's happening until those demons are upon us and have done their dirty work. The angels are there to protect us because we believe in Christ; because we are in covenant with God and because we're delivered from the curse. They are there to protect, to deliver, to administer salvation in every circumstance. Now, let's look at another verse, in (1 Ki.19:5) in which Elijah was led to Horeb. And he lay down and slept under a juniper-tree; and, behold, an angel touched him, and said unto him, Arise and eat. Verse 7 says: And the angel of the Lord came again the second time. So here's an instance where it says “an angel”, not any particular angel, just an angel, and then he says that the angel of the Lord came a second time, meaning “the angel of the Lord” is not a title for a certain angel, it's just an angel. In the Old Testament, angel is translated from “malak” which means “messenger” and in the New Testament, “angelos”, which means “messenger”. If it would have been translated as “the messenger of the Lord”, we could have understood it even better. Many people have thought of “the angel of the Lord” as a title for a certain angel. Well, that's not so. In this case, he's showing that “an angel” is an angel of the Lord. Now let's turn over to (2 Ki. 19:35) And it came to pass that night, that the angel of the Lord went forth, and smote in the camp of the Assyrians a hundred fourscore and five thousand: and when men arose early in the morning, behold, these were all dead bodies. When you think about one angel doing that to a 185,000 men or one angel closing the mouths of the lions for Daniel or the angels pushing down the walls of Jericho, you realize that one angel is very powerful. Daniel said that the Lord sent His angel and closed the mouths of the lions. These are the same lions that ate up all the people in the rebel's families before they could even fall into the bottom of the pit. These lions broke their bones in pieces. This one angel shut the mouths of them all. And this one angel in 2 Ki 19:35 killed 185,000 men. It says right here, “the angel of the Lord”, but if you look at the same instance in 2 Ch. 32:21, the Lord sent an angel who cut off the mighty men of valor and the leaders and captains, that was the 185,000 men right there. Let's look at another aspect of these angels. Look in Genesis 48. What I wanted to point out in the verse we just looked at was that an angel, any angel that is sent to you, is an angel of the Lord. Why? Because he is a messenger of the Lord to you. Israel was blessing the sons of Joseph in (Gen. 48:16), where it says, the angel who hath redeemed me from all evil, bless the lads;… Isn't that an amazing statement? The angel who hath redeemed me from all evil. Have you ever thought that it was an angel with you that redeemed you from all evil because of your faith in the blood of the Lamb? Well, if they are the ones, according to Hebrews 1:14, who administer salvation, that means deliverance or healing or whatever it is that delivers you from the curse, that is what the Greek word, soteria, means, which is “deliverance from the curse.” Our angel administers all of that for us. I tell you, after I started doing this study, I thought, “I sure would like to meet my angel. I'd like to shake his hand." But angels don't receive our thanks they always want all thanks to go to our Father.   I'd like to point something else out; Jesus is the Way. He is that ladder that goes up to heaven. He said in, Joh 1:51  ...Verily, verily, I say unto you, Ye shall see the heaven opened, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man. Their ministry to us is made possible by the Lord. And when you agree with the Lord, they are released to minister unto us. But here it says in (Gen.48:16) …the angel who hath redeemed me from all evil, bless the lads; and let my name be named on them,… That's powerful. All through the Scriptures, the angels get credit for doing the mighty works of God. Now let's look at (Num.20:14) And Moses sent messengers from Kadesh unto the king of Edom, Thus saith thy brother Israel, Thou knowest all the travail that hath befallen us: 15 how our fathers went down into Egypt, and we dwelt in Egypt a long time; and the Egyptians dealt ill with us, and our fathers: 16 and when we cried unto Jehovah, he heard our voice, and sent an angel, and brought us forth out of Egypt: and, behold, we are in Kadesh, a city in the uttermost of thy border. The Lord sent an angel and brought the children of Israel out of Egypt. Notice it says, “an angel”. You would think that's a pretty good undertaking, to lead the children out of Egypt, but he sent “an angel”. It makes you respect those angels. Everybody thinks that the Lord did it. Well, the Lord did do it. We're not denying that the Lord did it. But by what vessel did He do it? By just Moses? No, by Moses and an angel. God uses vessels to do what He does, and in this case, He chose to do it through an angel. Another instance is (Psa. 91:11-12) For he will give his angels charge over thee, To keep thee in all thy ways. They shall bear thee up in their hands, Lest thou dash thy foot against a stone. Isn't that amazing? How many times have we been protected by angels and didn't know it? I know I have. I think I was translated out of a car before I was even saved. We couldn't figure out how in the world that could happen. I had to have been dematerialized, going right through the middle of a car. I never figured it out until I got saved. If you read the rest of this chapter in Psalm 91, you see amazing promises. He will deliver me from the snare of the fowler and from the deadly pestilence, thou shall not be afraid for the terror by night, nor for the arrow that flieth by day, nor for the pestilence that walks in darkness, nor for the destruction that wastes at noonday. A thousand shall fall by thy side, ten thousand at thy right hand, but it shall not come nigh thee. I've seen youtube videos of angels translating people out of the way of oncoming vehicles. Here is a link: https://youtu.be/bOOOEUT-zHc How does all this come to pass? (Psa. 91:10-12) says There shall no evil befall thee, Neither shall any plague come nigh thy tent. 11 For he will give his angels charge over thee, To keep thee in all thy ways. 12 They shall bear thee up in their hands, Lest thou dash thy foot against a stone. People think this was spoken only about Jesus because it was quoted by Jesus in the New Testament. But it's talking about any believer. It's talking about how the angels redeem us from such circumstances. It's the angels that are there that listen to the Word of God and if you speak faith you release them or others who are believing for our security. I remember a testimony of my friend Bolivar and his wife on a narrow mountainside road. Their vehicle began to slip off of the edge of the road and it was an angel that picked the car back up and put it back on the road. It says in (Psa.34:7) The angel of the Lord encampeth round about them that fear him, (That is, the Lord) And delivereth them.  That's a messenger of the Lord that camps round about them that fear Him. All of God's people who fear Him are encamped about by the angel of the Lord. So that would lead you to believe that there is more than just one “angel of the Lord". Those that fear the Lord are protected by the angel of the Lord. He protects them and he delivers them and he fights their enemies for them. Speaking of the enemies of God's people, it says in (Psa. 35:5-6) Let them be as chaff before the wind, And the angel of the Lord driving them on. 6 Let their way be dark and slippery, And the angel of the Lord pursuing them. Notice that everyone has access to "the angel of the Lord" so there are many. The angel of the Lord fights against our enemies for us. He can even smite our enemies unto death, like the 185,000 men. We have been told by the Lord that some are going to die because they factioned against us. In this study I was really impressed with the importance of angels and the respect that we should have for them. I notice a lot of the prosperity people don't seem to have respect for the angels the way they order them around to go do this and go do that, never mind the will of God. But hey, that's like ordering the Lord around. The angels have the nature, the character and the authority of the Lord. It's just like having the Lord standing there beside you in an angel. But this angel will not act against the will of God. Just like Jesus spoke about Himself in the Father and us in the Father. (Mat.25:40) Whatsoever you have done to the least of these my brethren, you've done it unto me. (Mat.10:40) He that receives you, receives me, Jesus said. And he who receives Me receives Him that sent Me.   In other words, in the receiving of angels and their messages, you're receiving God. When you're hearing what the angel says, you are hearing what God says. And in respecting him, you respect God. And what he says is the Word of the Lord, just as any other Word of the Lord. You know in reading these verses, you come to the realization that the angels are doing an awful lot. Even though we may not see them, they're doing an awful lot around us and are preparing this world according to God's plans. They're changing circumstances around us, they're blessing us and redeeming us in circumstances and bringing salvation to us in circumstances. It's not that you have to address them, you may just pray to the Lord, but they are His vessels to carry it out. Once the Lord said to me, “Send the angels.” I said, “Send the angels to do what Lord?” Then I flipped my bible open with my eyes closed and put my finger down on, “David, do all that is in thy heart, for God is with thee.” from 1 Ch 17:2 and I put my finger down on, “David” and then read on. Also a way that God has perfect communication with each individual believer besides the Holy Spirit is through His angels, because the Holy Spirit moves through them. Sometimes the angels speak to us in the Name of the Lord and we say, “The Lord spoke to me" which is still correct. A question that the lady asked the Lord who had the dream about the “light shafts” coming down from heaven was, “How do you have such perfect communication and know what's going on with all the individual believers?” And the Lord showed her those shafts of light that came from the Lord down to earth. I think that's our angels, that's our ministering spirits that speak to us for God, that minister unto us for God, that save us in circumstances, that go out and do the things that we speak in the Name of the Lord. I'm convinced that they do the healing when you speak in the Name of the Lord like, “Be healed in the Name of Jesus.” When you cast out demons, they are the authority behind those demons being cast out and so on and so forth. In Rev.12, God's angels cast down the devil's angels, but they took their authority from the confession of the saints. Rev 12:7-11 And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels going forth to war with the dragon; and the dragon warred and his angels; 8 and they prevailed not, neither was their place found any more in heaven. 9 And the great dragon was cast down, the old serpent, he that is called the Devil and Satan, the deceiver of the whole world; he was cast down to the earth, and his angels were cast down with him. 10 And I heard a great voice in heaven, saying, Now is come the salvation, and the power, and the kingdom of our God, and the authority of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, who accuseth them before our God day and night. 11 And they overcame him because of the blood of the Lamb, and because of the word of their testimony; and they loved not their life even unto death. ...I think the Lord used an angel to dematerialize me out of that car before I knew the Lord when I got in that wreck. I was going so fast that I hit another car. I hit the left side of the car from front to back and I got thrown out. Between the time I hit the car and it scraped by the door, in just a fraction of a second, and I was out of the car. My friend in the car said, “I felt myself sliding across the front seat and hitting you and then you were gone"… Things went so fast I didn't see what happened. My car continued going forward and slid sideways and I just saw myself sitting on the concrete, sliding up to the door of my own car. The elbows of my jacket were ripped off from sliding down the concrete on my back but I wasn't scratched up in any way. A man that was looking out of the burger place, nearby, saw me going by said to me, “I thought you were riding in a go-cart.” My hands were still in the position of holding a steering wheel. But when I got up and looked at the car, there's no way I could have gotten out of the door or out of those windows and my friend agreed. At the time, I was a lost man, and I didn't know how this could have happened. And it wasn't until later, that my friend in the car, who was used later to bring me to the Lord, said, “God is how you got out of that car.” And I thought about it and said, “Yep, that's how I got out of that car”. He said, “There's no way you were thrown out of that car. You would have been cut in two if you had been thrown through the door because that door was jammed closed by the other car. It mashed by it and sealed it. It was amazing to me, but somehow the Lord got me out of that car and protected me so He could save me and use my life for His kingdom. (I think I was the original Duke of Hazard. Lol.) If the devil were permitted, there would not be any of us alive. God's angels are ministering spirits and they are stronger than the devil. It doesn't make any difference because it's ultimately God Who does it. When we are ministering healing to someone, we command it done because that is the only example we have in the Scriptures. Because Jesus paid the penalty and it's an established fact that He has taken away the curse so we can command healing but, the way God carries it out is His business. I had a lady testifiy to me how that she was in a wreck and she was talking about how the car went this way and that way and how the Lord really gave her peace. She asked me, “Do you suppose an angel ministered to me this peace and saved my car in the circumstance?” And I said, “Well, probably the Holy Spirit gave you peace from within and the angel from without.” Because the Lord from within can give you peace and an angel from without can save you. God's got us really surrounded, doesn't He? God has a ministering spirit there that perfectly represents Him as an extension of Him. God moves through His Holy Spirit to change circumstances and He can move through our own heart to move things and change circumstances. The Holy Spirit within a person has the power to heal that person. And the angels have this power too. Just as we read in places where angels made the people sick with the plague; they also healed. The angels manifest the gifts in circumstances. We know it's the Holy Spirit because it's the Holy Spirit that gives the gifts. In 1 Co.14:12 it says So also ye, since ye are zealous of spiritual gifts. It says in the original language “you are zealous of spirits.” What spirits is he talking about? He's talking about the angels because they can administer gifts. The angels spoke through prophets with the voice of the Lord. Well, there are no manuscripts that said that. All of them seem to point to the fact, and there is a numeric pattern in “zealous for spirits”. In fact, mine's got a Greek note here that says “spirits,” not “spiritual gifts,” Back to 1 Co. 14:12 ...seek that ye may abound unto the edifying of the church. 13 Wherefore let him that speaketh in a tongue pray that he may interpret. 14 For if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prayeth, but my understanding is unfruitful. I think that the angels can manifest different gifts for us because I have prayed over people that weren't filled with the Holy Spirit, just as Jesus did, and then these people went out and prayed over other people and they got healed. We should thank the Lord for everything. We're definitely ungrateful to Him and we take the angels for granted. It says in (Mat.18:10) See that ye despise not one of these little ones: for I say unto you, that in heaven their angels do always behold the face of my Father who is in heaven. You may ask, “What little ones is that?” Well, I think it's the little ones that Jesus just got through talking about, saying those who were His disciples. If you go back in verses 2-4, the little ones were in the midst of them and He said Verily I say unto you, Except ye turn, and become as little children, ye shall in no wise enter into the kingdom of heaven. 4 Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. 5 And whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receiveth me: So He's talking about His disciples being these little children. We're the little children of God and what He was saying when He said their angels do always behold the face of my Father who is in heaven?  The angels always behold the face of the Father because they have the nature of God.” I remember in Angels on Assignment, how Pastor Buck said he really felt the fruit of the Spirit in these angels. He really felt the nature of God in them. The fruit of the Spirit, that's what they were full of, the fruit of the Spirit. So, I've been meditating on the idea that the reason they see the face of the Lord is that they think, speak, and act godly. I guess they can't really help it because they have an advantage over us. Number one, they see in the spirit realm and know what's going on and number two, they don't have any flesh. They've been created by God to be good and they are very familiar with God. They ministered for God to man, at least, we know scripturally, for 6,000 years. None of them has ever died because there's no death in that realm, so they have to be very familiar with the Lord and with His ways, and they have to represent the Lord. You know, when you send somebody, which is what an angel is, an angel is… “angelo” meaning “messenger”. If you're going to send somebody who will represent you, first of all it has to be somebody that really knows you. They're going to say what you want them to say. They're going to get across the thought and the words and everything you want to get that across to the person that you're sending the message to. Angels always see the face of God even while they are sent out. They are perfect. If you send somebody that's imperfect, they're not going to represent you, they're going to misrepresent you. These angels are very familiar with God and so they can represent Him in an ultimate kind of way because they're not subject to flesh and they're not like us, who don't understand sometimes who we're hearing from. The angels always know who they're hearing from because they're in the spirit realm they see the demons, they see what goes on in the spirit realm, and they know who they're hearing from. And they know for whom they're speaking. They don't make any kind of mistakes that way. You know, in the New Testament, the word, apostle, means “one sent forth” which is somebody who is sent by God and Paul said in 1Co.9:1 ...am I not an apostle? have I not seen Jesus our Lord? It seemed like, in the early church, if you were going to be an apostle or “one sent forth", you had to see the Lord. In Acts chapter 1 when they chose somebody to replace Judas, they chose somebody who had walked with the Lord and had seen the Lord. That was the condition. They wanted somebody who had walked under the Lord's ministry and had seen the Lord. It seems obvious from this verse that an apostle is somebody who has seen the Lord. Now, I've known some apostles and every one of them has seen the Lord, not physically but in visions.  (Num.12:6) And he said, Hear now my words: if there be a prophet among you, I Jehovah will make myself known unto him in a vision, I will speak with him in a dream. This is speaking of a prophet, but I think it's true of apostles in the New Testament. There's people who have said they are apostles and they aren't, of course, but an apostle is one that is sent forth and he is somebody that's seen the Lord and the same is true of angels. Look at (Gen. 32:24)  Somebody who has seen the Lord is somebody who has come into His nature. “Maturity" in Scripture, seeing God face-to-face, is somebody who has come into His nature. The nature of the Lord is in His angels. When we hear from them, we hear from the Lord. Jesus said, “He that receives you receives Me.” In other words, a disciple is somebody that has been created after the image of their Lord and when you hear from a disciple you are hearing from the Lord. Then He said, “Whatsoever you do to one of My disciples, you do it unto Me.” So they represent the Lord. And an angel, in a greater way, manifestly, represents the Lord. Because they don't have flesh and because they see in the spirit realm, they cannot be deceived. They see all of the deception in the spirit realm, so they cannot be deceived, and they don't have flesh to filter out the truth and pervert and divert the truth. Now let's look at (Gen. 32:24): And Jacob was left alone; and there wrestled a man with him until the breaking of the day. 25 And when he saw that he prevailed not against him, he touched the hollow of his thigh; and the hollow of Jacob's thigh was strained, as he wrestled with him. 26 And he said, Let me go, for the day breaketh. And he said, I will not let thee go, except thou bless me. 27 And he said unto him, What is thy name? And he said, Jacob. 28 And he said, Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel: for thou hast striven with God and with men, and hast prevailed. Notice that he said, “striven with God.” He wrestled with this man, but he said, “you wrestled with God.” 29 And Jacob asked him, and said, Tell me, I pray thee, thy name. And he said, Wherefore is it that thou dost ask after my name? And he blessed him there. 30 And Jacob called the name of the place Peniel: for, said he, I have seen God face to face, and my life is preserved. Okay, now if you didn't have any knowledge of what the rest of the Scriptures said, you'd say, “Well, Jacob wrestled with God,” wouldn't you? Because he saw God face-to-face and this man that he wrestled with (because he calls him a man) said, “You've striven with God.” But let's look at another verse in (Hos. 12:3-4) because he didn't really wrestle physically with God according to what Hosea said. He's talking about Jacob and he said, In the womb he took his brother by the heel; and in his manhood he had power with God: 4 yea, he had power over the angel,… See that? And since we know the Scriptures can't be wrong, he must have wrestled with an angel who most perfectly represented God. If the angel sees God face-to-face, what does it mean? It means he represents God, doesn't it? If an angel sees God's face, it must mean his face is like God's face. Jesus said, “If you've seen me, you've seen the Father.” Does that mean He looked like the Father? A 33-year-old man? No. It doesn't mean that at all. It meant that in His nature, character, actions and thoughts, He represented God perfectly. What I'm seeing is that the angels see the face of the Father, which no man can do. Jesus said in John 6 that no man has seen the face of the Father. Only He that is from God, has seen Him. Well, that would be who? The angels have seen Him because they were sent from Him. Jesus has seen Him. Our born-again man can see Him because he's born from God, right? The flesh can't see Him because the flesh is not from God, according to what Jesus said. So, what I feel the Lord is showing me here is (in verse 4 of Hosea 12) that he had power over the angel and back in Genesis 32; this angel that he wrestled with obviously had the face of God and spoke most perfectly for God because if you were to wrestle with Jesus, for instance, you'd be wrestling with God, wouldn't you? Because Jesus said, “If you've seen me, you've seen the Father.” And He said, “I and the Father are One.” In other words, Jesus saw Himself as an extension of God. These angels so perfectly represent the Father that they are just an extension of Him, not physically speaking, but spiritually speaking. The Word of God can't be broken, so who wrestled with Jacob had to be an angel and it had to be one that most perfectly represented God in that he saw, or at least he thought that he saw, God, face-to-face. In other words, this angel would have to have the nature of God. Can we physically wrestle with God? Remember Uzzah only touched the Ark of His Presence and died. 2 Sa 6:6-7  And when they came to the threshing-floor of Nacon, Uzzah put forth his hand to the ark of God, and took hold of it; for the oxen stumbled. 7  And the anger of Jehovah was kindled against Uzzah; and God smote him there for his error; and there he died by the ark of God. Okay, now look in (Exo. 23:20-21) Behold, I send an angel before thee, to keep thee by the way, and to bring thee into the place which I have prepared. 21 Take ye heed before him, and hearken unto his voice; provoke him not; for he will not pardon your transgression: for my name is in him. Look at that! What does the word, name, mean in this verse? It's God's nature, character, and authority. The word, “shem”, in the Old Testament is the word, “name”, just like “onoma” is the word for “name” in the New Testament. And it means character, authority, nature. He said, “for My name is in him.” They represent someone who has the nature or the name of God. Verse 22: But if thou shalt indeed hearken unto his (the angel's) voice, and do all that I speak; Notice that. You're hearkening unto the angel's voice, but you're doing what God is speaking. So the angel is doing the talking, but God is talking through him. So you see that the angels are perfect prophets. I'll get to that a little bit later, but here's the point: These angels have the name of God in them. They have the nature of God. They have the character of God. And when they speak, they're speaking from God, but it's their voice. That's how it is with a prophet. A prophet speaks with his own voice, but he's speaking from God, if you put aside two things: the flesh and the demon spirits. Of course, angels are perfect prophets because they have neither one of those problems. It's not being spoken through the deceptions of the flesh. Jesus said, “If you've seen me, you've seen the Father.” That's the way it is with the angels. They're full of the fruit of the Spirit. So they have the character of God. They have the nature of God, and so they can be trusted to be, like I said, perfect prophets, because they're not going to be deceptive or lead you astray. Okay now let's look at (Isaiah 63:9) The angel was the one that was going to lead them against their enemies. You know, we always thought it was just God. Well, it was God, but it was God through angels, who led them through the wilderness to conquer their enemies. And here it says in verse 9: In all their affliction he was afflicted, and the angel of his presence (look at that) saved them: The angel of his presence. Do you mean God is present through an angel? Certainly! Jesus said, “The Father in Me doeth the works.” He was always talking about the Father in Him. God was present through Jesus by the Holy Spirit, wasn't He? Well, God is present through the angels by the Holy Spirit. …and the angel of his presence saved them: in his love and in his pity he redeemed them; and he bare them, and carried them all the days of old. Again, you can see it: “If you've seen me, you've seen the Father,” in these angels who are perfect prophets. Look in (Gen. 22:11-17) And the angel of Jehovah called unto him out of heaven, and said, Abraham, Abraham: and he said, Here am I. 12 And he said, Lay not thy hand upon the lad, neither do thou anything unto him; for now I know that thou fearest God, seeing thou hast not withheld thy son, thine only son, from me. Now, you would think, as I thought years ago, that this was God, because He spoke in the first person. But we see in verses 14-15: And Abraham called the name of that place Jehovah-jireh: as it is said to this day, In the mount of the Lord it shall be provided. 15 And the angel of the Lord called unto Abraham a second time out of heaven, 16 and said, By myself have I sworn, (Now, wait a minute. You'd say, “That's really God,” wouldn't you? But look at the next couple of words there: saith the Lord,… Who does that? Who identifies the words that they say as the Lord's words? Prophets do. And why do they do it? So that you know the word is not coming from them, it's coming from the Lord. He made it plain. You wouldn't say this if you were speaking from yourself. You'd only say it if the words which you're speaking are coming from someone else. So He said: By myself have I sworn, saith the Lord, because thou hast done this thing, and hast not withheld thy son, thine only son, 17 that in blessing I will bless thee, and in multiplying I will multiply thy seed… Now, I used to think, years ago, that the angel of the Lord was the Lord, because they really fit in the description and they spoke in the first-person. But what I came to realize was that they spoke in the first-person because they were perfect prophets and in perfect in communication with the Holy Spirit and the Holy Spirit personally spoke through them. You cannot be a messenger of the Lord and be the Lord at the same time. So, “angel” means “messenger”. If they would have translated this word, it would have meant “messenger of the Lord.” It's somebody who has been sent forth to speak a message. That's what a messenger is. So, that's another way that this cannot be the Lord. Even though there are many verses that have caused people to believe that "the angel of the Lord" is the Lord. I remember, one time, my wife had a vision of an angel that appeared to her and gave her a message from the Lord, and she said, “The Lord was speaking, but the angel was the one talking.” In other words, the angel was speaking with the Lord's voice. You would think that would be very easy for any angel to do because of those two problems I mentioned: no flesh to restrain them, and seeing in the spirit realm perfectly so that they cannot be deceived by the demon spirits. That's one of the prophet's problems is that you never know whether he's speaking from the Lord or not, and that's why He tells us to judge the prophecy because they filter their prophecy with their flesh. So, here is another one to look at (Ecc.5:6). And he's talking about promising or vowing and he says: Suffer not thy mouth to cause thy flesh to sin; neither say thou before the angel, that it was an error: wherefore should God be angry at thy voice, and destroy the work of thy hands? In other words, God gives authority to that angel. And, just as whatever you did to Jesus, you did the Father, and whatever you do to us, you do to God; whatever you say before that angel is what you're saying to God. And he said if you said something that was not correct to that angel, God could destroy your works for it. So he said to be careful how you talk to that angel. And every one of us, by the way, according to Matthew 18, has “our angel” who always beholds the face of God. So he says, “Be careful what you say before that angel.” Why? Because that angel has authority. For instance, go to Luke 1, I will show you the authority that an angel has. An angel appeared to Zacharias, in verse 11,. (Luk.1:11) And there appeared unto him an angel of the Lord standing on the right side of the altar of incense. Now, go on down since now you know that it's an angel of the Lord, to verse 18. Zacharias questioned the promise that the Lord gave him through the angel of the Lord. 18 And Zacharias said unto the angel, Whereby shall I know this? for I am an old man, and my wife well stricken in years. 19 And the angel answering said unto him, I am Gabriel, that stand in the presence of God; and I was sent to speak unto thee, and to bring thee these good tidings. (Notice that Gabriel stood in the presence of God while he spoke to Zacharias.) 20 And behold, thou shalt be silent and not able to speak, until the day that these things shall come to pass, because thou believedst not my words, which shall be fulfilled in their season. (Notice, Gabriel said, “my words” but it was serious because they were also God's words. So, you see, we need to respect the angels.) So, Zacharias was struck speechless by this authority that was in the Lord's angel. Because this was Gabriel whom he was calling the angel of the Lord, right? Not the Lord, but an angel of the Lord. And Gabriel had instant authority here, to speak a judgment upon Zacharias, and the judgment was that he was not going to be able to speak. I felt like the Lord told me that the reason that he was struck dumb was that because of his unbelief he would have spoken against the promise. Speaking against the promise is what causes God to destroy your works. You have to agree with the Word of God which is spoken to us through angels. If you go to  Luke 12 it says, (Luk.12:8): Every one who shall confess me before men, him shall the Son of man also confess before the angels of God: So we see that what we're supposed to be saying before these angels is what Jesus has spoken because the word, “confess", is Homologeo, which means “to speak the same as”.   When we speak what God speaks and agree with what God says before these angels, then Jesus is going to confess us before those angels. But, “He who denies me in the presence of men, shall be denied in the presence of the angels of God.” So these angels have authority and it is given to them by the Lord, Jesus Christ, when we speak in agreement with the Word. We saw that a while back. In Genesis 28, Jacob had an instance of being confronted by angels in verse 12, when he dreamed and he saw a ladder that reached up from the earth to heaven, and God was at the top of the ladder. And up and down on the ladder, angels were ascending and descending. And Jesus gave us a revelation of that when He said, “you shall see heaven opened and angels ascending and descending upon the Son of Man.” Jesus is the ladder that enables the angels to minister to us and that ladder only works when we confess His name. If we confess Him before men, the angels are enabled to minister to us and to bless us. And, as we saw from Psalm 103:20, they are the ones who fulfill the Word of God. They are the ones that do the works of God according to Psalm 103:2, far more than we realize. I'm convinced that many Christians believe that the Holy Spirit just supernaturally materializes things and I think, far more than we realize, the Holy Spirit does do that, but He does it through the angels. The angels are the ones, according to Hebrews 1:14, are sent forth to serve, to do service for them that are heirs of salvation. They are, more than anything, the vessel that the Holy Spirit uses to save, to deliver etc. For instance, in Exodus 3, there was the story of the burning bush. Let's look at that. Moses came to the mountain of God in verse 1 and in (Exo.3:2): And the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush: and he looked, and, behold, the bush burned with fire, and the bush was not consumed. Now, most everybody believes that this angel of the Lord had to be God speaking to Moses out of the midst of that burning bush, but we have an instance where it says “the angel of the Lord” (or “messenger of the Lord”) recounted in Acts 7. The reason I'm pointing this out, is because you wouldn't think much of it, if that was God physically speaking out of the midst of the bush and performing miracles, but if that was an angel, it would change your whole idea of angels, wouldn't it? (Act.7:30): And when forty years were fulfilled, an angel (Notice it just says “an angel”. Some versions add, “of the Lord,” but there's no numeric pattern in this.) So an angel appeared to Moses in the wilderness of Mt. Sinai in a flame of fire in a bush. It was just an angel. No particular angel. But it appeared in that bush and spoke to Moses in the first-person. He spoke the Word of the Lord to Moses as though he was God. Verse 35: This Moses whom they refused, saying, Who made thee a ruler and a judge? him hath God sent to be both a ruler and a deliverer with the hand of the angel that appeared to him in the bush. Verse 38: This is he that was in the church in the wilderness with the angel that spake to him in the mount Sinai, and with our fathers: who received living oracles to give unto us: Who was it that gave Moses those oracles? Who was it that spoke to him? It says here it was an angel. Well, we know, and if you watched The Ten Commandments, that it was God? It was God who spoke to him. And what I'm saying is, "Yes, that is true; it was God that spoke, but He spoke through an angel, just like He speaks through a prophet.” Verse 53: ye who received the law as it was ordained by angels, and kept it not. “As it was ordained by angels.” It is surprising the way an angel could speak to Moses in the wilderness and Moses received it as God. Of course, some people probably wouldn't agree with me but,  you have to accept all of the scriptures, not just part of them. You can't just make up your mind by picking and choosing scripture. It's line upon line, here a little and there a little that you receive the truth. But this was both an angel and it was God. Again, these angels, for 6,000 years have been speaking for God to man. And have been acting for God to man. The angels couldn't possibly be serving God for that long, without knowing Him perfectly. A husband and wife that have been together for a few years,  begin to predict what one another is going to do. And here are angels, who perfectly know God, that are able to speak for Him and have authority. If the Name of God is within them, then they have authority to speak for God. In fact, many times, I'm convinced, people who say, “The Lord said this, and the Lord said that,” are right, but it was an angel that spoke to them. Many times it's that way. Look at  Jos.5:13 And it came to pass, when Joshua was by Jericho, that he lifted up his eyes and looked, and, behold, there stood a man over against him with his sword drawn in his hand: and Joshua went unto him, and said unto him, Art thou for us, or for our adversaries? 14 And he said, Nay; but as prince of the host of the Lord am I now come… And Joshua fell on his face to the earth, and did worship, and said unto him, What saith my lord unto his servant? 15 And the prince of the Lord's host said unto Joshua, Put off thy shoe from off thy foot; for the place whereon thou standest is holy. And Joshua did so. If it was “Jehovah of hosts” it would have said, “Jehovah of hosts,” but it didn't say that. Jehovah of hosts is “the Lord of the hosts”. But this is the prince of the Lord's. host meaning he is one who rules over His hosts of angels. Now, you'd say, well, that would have to be the Lord. But in Exodus chapter 3, where "an angel" spoke out of the bush, he said the same thing, “This is such a holy place, you better take off your shoes so you are not separated from holiness. This is holy ground, take off your shoes so your feet can touch it and you will be holy. Walk holy and you will be holy and acceptable to God.” For earthly ground, you're supposed to have shoes on so that you're separated from the dirt. God rebuked the shepherds because the pastors broke the sheep's hooves off. On holy ground, you're supposed to have your shoes off because God doesn't want you separated from holy ground, but on earthly ground, you're supposed to have your shoes on because God wants you separated from this world; to be sanctified of this world. I remember reading Angels on Assignment about this particular prince of the hosts of the Lord and one of the angels that visited pastor Buck, his name was Chroni, and Chroni said that he was the one who appeared unto Joshua. In Exodus chapter 3, the same thing was said by that angel. The Scripture said it was an angel; the same thing was said by that angel: “Take your shoe off your foot, this is holy ground, stand on this holy ground.” Another instance is Zechariah chapter 1, where we can clearly see the prophetic nature of angels. Also…reading Angels on Assignment, in Zechariah 1:12, it says “…the angel of the Lord.” And there, Gabriel spoke to pastor Buck, and he told him that he was that angel of the Lord. Now, we read in Luke chapter 1 where Gabriel was that angel of the Lord over there. And some people think that the angel of the Lord must be one person. No, it's not really meaning that. This is not a title, it just happens to be the angel of the Lord that was there; the angel that spoke for the Lord in that place. It's not the angel of the Lord as a title. So, it's a messenger of the Lord, that's all. So in verse 12, it says, Then the angel of the Lord answered and said, O Lord of hosts,… So that proves he's not the Lord of hosts, doesn't it? Because here is the angel speaking to the Lord of hosts. … how long wilt thou not have mercy on Jerusalem and on the cities of Judah, against which thou hast had indignation these threescore and ten years? 13 And the Lord answered the angel that talked with me with good words, even comfortable words. 14 So the angel that talked with me said unto me, Cry thou, saying, Thus saith the Lord of hosts:… So here we have an angel, speaking prophetically for the Lord, and speaking through this man with the voice of the Lord. This angel is instructing this man, as a prophet, to say, “thus sayeth the Lord of hosts.” …I am jealous for Jerusalem and for Zion with a great jealousy. 15 And I am very sore displeased with the nations that are at ease; for I was but a little displeased, and they helped forward the affliction. 16 Therefore thus saith the Lord:… We have the angel of the Lord speaking with a “thus sayeth the Lord” in a prophetic term. I am returned to Jerusalem with mercies; my house shall be built in it, saith the Lord of hosts, and a line shall be stretched forth over Jerusalem. 17 Cry yet again, saying, Thus saith the Lord of hosts: My cities shall yet overflow with prosperity; and the Lord shall yet comfort Zion, and shall yet choose Jerusalem. So here we have an angel, who, in the book Angels on Assignment, said he was Gabriel. He was speaking in the first-person to a man, and telling him to speak in the name of the Lord. In verse 12, the angel of the Lord is speaking to the Lord. “The Lord” there, the word, “Lord” is “YHWH”, it is His personal name. So the angel of the Lord is speaking to the Lord of Hosts in verse 12, proving that the angel of the Lord is not the Lord, but a messenger of the Lord. Back when I was believing that the angel of the Lord was the Lord because there were so many verses, several witnesses came to me against that theology, and I rejected them at first. One of those that I read was Kenneth Hagin's testimony that the Lord appeared to him, and someone behind the Lord appeared to him when he was believing that the angel of the Lord was the Lord. And when he asked the Lord, “Lord, who is this that with you?” He said, “That is the angel of the Lord.” And when I read that, I said, “Hmmm, something's wrong here. I've already read too much about the angel of the Lord to not believe it's the Lord.” Because it was so plain to me that the angel of the Lord was the Lord. But Kenneth Hagin's book said that the Lord straightened him out by saying, “That's the angel of the Lord.”   Select Language Afrikaans Albanian Amharic Arabic Armenian Assamese Aymara Azerbaijani Bambara Basque Belarusian Bengali Bhojpuri Bosnian Bulgarian Catalan Cebuano Chichewa Chinese (Simplified) Chinese (Traditional) Corsican Croatian Czech Danish Dhivehi Dogri Dutch Esperanto Estonian Ewe Filipino Finnish French Frisian Galician Georgian German Greek Guarani Gujarati Haitian Creole Hausa Hawaiian Hebrew Hindi Hmong Hungarian Icelandic Igbo Ilocano Indonesian Irish Italian Japanese Javanese Kannada Kazakh Khmer Kinyarwanda Konkani Korean Krio Kurdish (Kurmanji) Kurdish (Sorani) Kyrgyz Lao Latin Latvian Lingala Lithuanian Luganda Luxembourgish Macedonian Maithili Malagasy Malay Malayalam Maltese Maori Marathi Meiteilon (Manipuri) Mizo Mongolian Myanmar (Burmese) Nepali Norwegian Odia (Oriya) Oromo Pashto Persian Polish Portuguese Punjabi Quechua Romanian Russian Samoan Sanskrit Scots Gaelic Sepedi Serbian Sesotho Shona Sindhi Sinhala Slovak Slovenian Somali Spanish Sundanese Swahili Swedish Tajik Tamil Tatar Telugu Thai Tigrinya Tsonga Turkish Turkmen Twi Ukrainian Urdu Uyghur Uzbek Vietnamese Welsh Xhosa Yiddish Yoruba Zulu Powered by Translate Printer-friendly version

There is within the Bible a scarlet cord that runs through the entire Bible, that highway of blood that we find from Genesis to Revelation. It is important for us to understand that Calvary was not an accident, and it was not an incident. It is not something that happened as an afterthought.  In Rev. 13:8 God tells us “the Lamb was slain before the foundation of the world,” which means that before God flung this world into space, before God scooped out the seas, and heaped up the mountains, and flung out the sun, moon, and stars, before all of that, before anything was that is, God had Calvary in His heart and mind. And Christ was slain in the heart and mind of God from the foundation of the world. As you look through the entire Bible you will see the shedding of Christ's blood as the sacrifice for our sins in picture, illustration, and typology.  God tells the same story with Adam and Eve, Noah, and then with Abraham, and with all of the sacrifices over thousands of years required under the Mosaic Law.  Yet, God tells us that none of these sacrifices were enough to make the people who offered them redeemed.  There had to be something more, for it was man who brought sin into the world, and so it would have to be a man who sacrificed His own life and shed His own blood.  Yet, it could not be just any man, it had to be the blood of the sinless, spotless, Lamb of God, Jesus Christ.   If you're an unsaved person, then you need to listen very carefully to this message because God put dark Calvary with its blood-drenched slopes, and with its uplifted cross, there as a roadblock to keep you out of hell.  And if you're a saved person, then you need to listen because when you understand what Jesus Christ did to redeem you, to buy you, Oh, how you ought to love Him all the more.

Ministering Angels Through UBM (2) (Audio) David Eells - 8/10/22 Questions & Answers with the Angels Eve Brast - 8/8/22 (David's notes in red) I wanted to share a little background with everyone concerning my angelic encounters and coming into the gift of prophetic dreams and visions in my lifetime. I was 4 years old the first time angels appeared to me. My parents had a very turbulent marriage and they had vicious fights and arguments beginning around the time I was 4 years old. I was an only child and was alone quite a bit. I had no siblings to find comfort or solace with in those times when my parents were fighting. One day they got into a bad argument and I imagined that they would hurt each other or die or one would kill the other or both. As I was hiding under my bed in my room thinking all these fearful thoughts, 3 angels appeared to me. Two of them were male in appearance and one female in appearance. They weren't big and glorious with wings and heavenly garments but they appeared to me in the form of other children dressed in that time period of the early 1970's. I knew they were supernatural because they spoke to me with wisdom and comfort like grown ups would speak and the room was filled with a supernatural peace.  They told me that everything was going to be okay and that I didn't need to be afraid. They assured me that God loved me and that He loved my parents and nothing bad would happen to us. I knew about God and Jesus because my dad had been saved and filled with the Holy Spirit when I was 2 years old and he talked a lot about God and Jesus and the Bible. My dad had bought me a little children's picture Bible and he would read me stories out of it every night before bedtime. My mom, on the other hand, wasn't filled with the Spirit until years later, so she was quite the Jezebel and it caused some bad agreements between my parents.  I was so glad to have these “other children” there with me and I asked them if they could please stay with me and be my friends. They said they would stay and so that began a long companionship that lasted until I was 9 years old close to turning 10. I remember playing with them in my room when I was 4 and my mother walking by and stopping in the doorway and asking, “Who are you talking to Eve?”  And I said, “My friends. Can't you see them?” She just raised her eyebrows and said, “OK??”  As a 4 year old I didn't think to ask them their names so I just gave them names. Later I heard her telling some other grown ups that I had imaginary friends that I had made up to play with and they all laughed and thought it was so cute and they just explained it away that I was an only child with a “vivd imagination”. I became upset and told them all, “They aren't imaginary! They are real!”  I also could see demons beginning when I was 6 years old especially when my parents would argue and fight and I knew how to rebuke them in “Jesus' Name” because that's what I heard my dad saying at times. I didn't know what “Rebuke” meant but I knew that was how you talked to demons to make them leave and I knew they were scared of Jesus. And they would always leave when I would do this because I believed that when I said this, “Magic phrase” they had to do what I said. As the years went on, and I got older, still insisting that “my friends" were real, my mom and dad started to believe me and my dad acknowledged that they were probably angels that I was seeing and interacting with. One day, as my 10th birthday was approaching, we were all playing “School” and the angels were my students. They patiently listened to my “instruction” and when I dismissed the class, the male leader of the three put his right arm around my shoulder and said, “We are going to have to leave now. You are getting too old, but don't worry we will always be with you.” (I understood that he meant I was growing up and I didn't need them in that capacity anymore. I had felt a solemnness in them that day and now I knew why.) I didn't have time to argue or try to negotiate with them. They just disappeared and I began to cry, but I heard his voice once more saying, “Don't worry. We will always be with you.” When I turned 10, I had my first prophetic dream from the Lord and these continued into my 20's. My dad had also been given prophetic dreams and visions from the Lord and he was thrilled that the Lord had passed that gift on to me too. We talked a lot about my dreams and his dreams and he would try to help me understand what the Lord was showing me. After the birth of my first son, Noah, the dreams stopped. Life was busy and I had gotten away from any spiritual closeness with the Lord or the Holy Spirit and was very worldly minded and caught up with the cares of life. God had fallen mostly silent and the supernatural door into the spirit realm closed with regards to dreams and visions. But I still had encounters with demons and the demonic realm and many battles in that arena. Once I found UBM and began to read all the powerful dreams on the website, I prayed and asked the Lord to give me dreams like that and a month later the dreams returned and as my walk with the Lord was restored through the UBM teachings and books the dreams continued and the heavenly spiritual realm was opened to me once more. More often than not, the angels as well as Jesus appear to me in dreams, but occasionally my eyes are opened to the spirit realm as an adult and I am once again allowed to see and talk with the angels and enjoy their interactions as I did when I was a child. Here are the brief descriptions of the angel's names, appearances and functions that I've seen at David's house over the years:  Jeruel is very tall and thin. He stands on the right side of the balcony as you are looking up from the living room.(We jokingly called this the “balcony".  It was a walkway between two rooms on the second floor that overlooks the living room which we have used as an overflow when the house was filled with the saints.)  He has blonde wavy hair that reaches the base of his neck and a pale complexion. He has a long simple garment that reaches the floor that is interwoven with thin strands of yellow gold. He appears sometimes to hold a polished jar or jug of anointing that has a long neck with a handle and a pour spout and his belt is a thin woven golden cord that ties around his waist at the front.  The oil that poured out of the jug the last time I saw it was opalescence in its colorations. Sometimes he appears with a long, golden colored sword in his right hand and a black velvet belt around his waist. I know when he appears like this that he is ready to go out with our praises and fight our enemies. Jeruel seems to be a very serious, vigilant, and focused angel. He is very short and to the point with his answers and I have not seen him smile or engage me with eye contact very often. He seems to always be looking straight ahead with intensity as if watching some continual unknown scene as it unfolds in front of him. “Jeruel" means “Fear or vision of God.”   The only place I could find this name mentioned in the Bible is in 2 Ch. 20:16 (in context 14-17), (We have been given this text many times concerning our battle with the faction and it fits very well.) Then upon Jahaziel the son of Zechariah, the son of Benaiah, the son of Jeiel, the son of Mattaniah, the Levite, of the sons of Asaph, came the Spirit of Jehovah in the midst of the assembly; 15 and he said, Hearken ye, all Judah, and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem  (the Bride), and thou king Jehoshaphat: Thus saith Jehovah unto you, Fear not ye, neither be dismayed by reason of this great multitude; for the battle is not yours, but God's.  16 To-morrow go ye down against them: behold, they come up by the ascent of Ziz; and ye shall find them at the end of the valley, before the wilderness of Jeruel.  (The name meaning here for the angel and shows the place where the enemies are conquered by thanksgiving and praise.) 17 Ye shall not need to fight in this battle : set yourselves, stand ye still, and see the salvation of Jehovah with you, O Judah and Jerusalem; fear not, nor be dismayed: to-morrow go out against them: for Jehovah is with you…. I believe that we are to employ Jeruel through the power of our praise to destroy our enemies as the rest of the text in 2 Chr.20:20-30 below indicates. (The Hebrew word for praise is Hallel meaning to brag about what the Lord has done. The Hebrew word, Hallelujah, means “praise ye the Lord”.) 2Ch 20:20-30  And they rose early in the morning, and went forth into the wilderness of Tekoa: and as they went forth, Jehoshaphat stood and said, Hear me, O Judah, and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem: believe in Jehovah your God, so shall ye be established; believe his prophets, so shall ye prosper.  21  And when he had taken counsel with the people, he appointed them that should sing unto Jehovah, and give praise in holy array, as they went out before the army, and say, Give thanks unto Jehovah; for his lovingkindness endureth for ever.  22  And when they began to sing and to praise, Jehovah set liers-in-wait against the children of Ammon, Moab, and mount Seir, that were come against Judah; and they were smitten  23  For the children of Ammon and Moab stood up against the inhabitants of mount Seir, utterly to slay and destroy them: and when they had made an end of the inhabitants of Seir, every one helped to destroy another.   24  And when Judah came to the watch-tower of the wilderness, they looked upon the multitude; and, behold, they were dead bodies fallen to the earth, and there were none that escaped.  25  And when Jehoshaphat and his people came to take the spoil of them, they found among them in abundance both riches and dead bodies, and precious jewels, which they stripped off for themselves, more than they could carry away: and they were three days in taking the spoil, it was so much.  26  And on the fourth day they assembled themselves in the valley of Beracah; for there they blessed Jehovah: therefore the name of that place was called The valley of Beracah unto this day.  27  Then they returned, every man of Judah and Jerusalem, and Jehoshaphat in the forefront of them, to go again to Jerusalem with joy; for Jehovah had made them to rejoice over their enemies.  28  And they came to Jerusalem with psalteries and harps and trumpets unto the house of Jehovah.  29  And the fear of God was on all the kingdoms of the countries, when they heard that Jehovah fought against the enemies of Israel. (Notice The nations came to know the fear of the Lord when by God's works, not mans, their enemies were conquered. What better witness to the lost at the beginning of the tribulation?)  30  So the realm of Jehoshaphat was quiet; for his God gave him rest round about. Psa 149:5-9  Let the saints exult in glory: Let them sing for joy upon their beds.  6  Let the high praises of God be in their mouth, And a two-edged sword (the Word) in their hand;  7  To execute vengeance upon the nations, And punishments upon the peoples;  8  To bind their kings with chains, And their nobles with fetters of iron;  9  To execute upon them the judgment written: This honor have all his saints. Praise ye Jehovah. Since praise is bragging on what the Lord has done, what could we be saying or singing that would conquer the enemies? That our enemies have already been conquered by the Lord.   Luk 1:68-74  Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel; For he hath visited and wrought redemption for his people,  69  And hath raised up a horn of salvation for us In the house of his servant David  70  (As he spake by the mouth of his holy prophets that have been from of old),  71  Salvation from our enemies, and from the hand of all that hate us;  72  To show mercy towards our fathers, And to remember his holy covenant;  73  The oath which he sware unto Abraham our father,  74  To grant unto us that we being delivered out of the hand of our enemies Should serve him without fear, Psa 34:1-7  I will bless Jehovah at all times: His praise shall continually be in my mouth.  2  My soul shall make her boast in Jehovah: The meek shall hear thereof, and be glad.  3  Oh magnify Jehovah with me, And let us exalt his name together.  4  I sought Jehovah, and he answered me, And delivered me from all my fears.  5  They looked unto him, and were radiant; And their faces shall never be confounded.  6  This poor man cried, and Jehovah heard him, And saved him out of all his troubles.  7  The angel of Jehovah encampeth round about them that fear him, And delivereth them. …  Part of praise is thanking God for His accomplished redemption from our enemies, which conquers them: Psa 50:14-15  Offer unto God the sacrifice of thanksgiving; And pay thy vows unto the Most High;  15  And call upon me in the day of trouble: I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me. … 23  Whoso offereth the sacrifice of thanksgiving glorifieth me; And to him that ordereth his way aright Will I show the salvation of God. Psa 54:6-7  With a freewill-offering will I sacrifice unto thee: I will give thanks unto thy name, O Jehovah, for it is good.  7  For he hath delivered me out of all trouble; And mine eye hath seen my desire upon mine enemies. Psa 8:2  Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou established strength, Because of thine adversaries, That thou mightest still the enemy and the avenger. Baruch, which means, “Blessed or blessed one" is a head shorter than Jeruel and very muscular. He stands on the left side of the balcony. He is a warrior angel that fights for us according to the spoken Word, mingled with our prayers, for all situations. He has an olive complexion and dark brown hair that has a slight wave that reaches the top of his shoulders. He has a deep furrowed brow that is a very prominent feature and gives him a stern look; almost distracting. He wears a simple sleeveless tunic that goes down to his knees and is tied at the waist with a brown, braided, leather belt. He also has a matching leather headband around his forehead and hair that ties in the back.  His countenance looks intimidating because of the deep furrowed brow, but he smiles a lot when he looks at me and is much more talkative than Jeruel. His eyes are a very deep blue. His sandals are leather with straps that criss cross up his calves and tie at the top. He holds a spear in his right hand and a blue, flaming sword in his left. He also has a leather satchel of pouch with a simple flap that lays over the top of it. This satchel is worn across his chest at an angle and the pouch rests on his left hip. It is filled with stars which look like orbs of light. (He told me once that these were our prayers, when activated by the Word. He said, “Make sure you pray the Word.” (This could mean two things. Pray according to the Word and/or pray speaking the Word in our prayers, which we often do.) (I knew that he hurled these stars at our enemies as we prayed the word over the various situations we are faced with.) Shemuel is a variant of Samuel and means, “God has heard.” He is primarily assigned to fight the “Swamp” of our political enemies in Government and the factious “Swamp” that wars against UBM ministry with witchcraft and other nefarious activities. He appears about 6 1/5 feet tall. He is smaller than Baruch but still muscular and has a ruddy (or healthy reddish) color to his skin. He has tight, blonde curls and his hair is also shoulder length. He also wears a knee length tunic that is tied at the waist with a sky blue belt, but his garment has long sleeves with an embroidered blue design on the sleeves and the hem.  He also wears a headband that is sky blue and ties at the back of his head and he wears the same leather sandals as Baruch. He has a prominent nose (like a classic Cherokee Indian nose) but his face is youthful and his eyes are bright blue and joyful. He is a "cut up” and is always doing crazy little antics to get a laugh or a smile. He carries a blue, crystalline looking, Roman sword in his right hand that flashes when the light hits it. He uses this sword to tap the “Drain the Swamp” sign as he cuts his eyes over at me and raises his eyebrows with a nod of assurance and a big smile. (Shemuel doesn't talk much but I asked him a direct question the other day and he gave me a thorough answer in a serious but friendly tone. It is included in the Q&A below.) One day when I was over at David's house, he asked me if the angels were in the balcony at the moment. I looked up there and I saw the two overhead and replied, “Yes.”  He said, “I would like to ask them a question.” I said, “Okay.” He said, “Do you think they'll answer us?” I said, usually if you engage them they will answer, especially Baruch.” Then Baruch said, “There is much busyness happening in the Kingdom of our Lord; Much excitement is among the saints and the angels. Everything is prepared and ready for His return.” And then after a moment he said, “The Son is waiting for the Father's command.” David asked, “So the Man-child is coming?” Baruch said, “Surely.” David then asked, “When will David be crucified?” Baruch said, “The Lord has that timing.” David, also asked, “Will the Man-child return this month of August 2022?” Jeruel said, “We do not have access to the timings of events. When the command goes out, we go.”  David asked, “Do the angels ever get bored?” (Because we see them there often except when we send them out.) Jeruel said, “We do not get bored. There is a lot going on in the spirit realm that you don't see or understand.” Baruch said, “We each have a function that we were created for and it is our utmost pleasure and joy to serve our God and King.” David asked, “Where do dreams come from? Do the angels give dreams to people?” Baruch said, “Dreams come from the throne room of God and are carried by His Spirit and imputed to men while they sleep. Sometimes the enemy fights to hinder them coming or infiltrates them to corrupt them.” (Bringing confusion. I had a vision while He spoke of a dream in the form of a scroll enveloped in light entering the second heaven and coming under assault by demons.) David asked about a portion of a dream he had recently received from someone. He felt that overall it was a good dream, but a small piece of the dream had timing that seemed out of place or incorrect. So David asked, “Has the portion of the dream I'm looking at been infiltrated by the enemy?” Baruch answered, “Yes. It was infiltrated.” Jeruel said, “The Truth is in the Word. Hold fast to that which you heard in the beginning.” (i.e. don't receive anything in dreams that contradict what the Lord has shown us personally or told us at the first and don't receive anything in a dream that is contrary to the promises to us in His Word that we are commanded to hold fast to by faith.) David asked, thinking specifically about money that had been stolen from a persons house. “ Will the angels restore what they have stolen as we asked?” Baruch answered, “When the Man-child comes, all will be restored, the source doesn't matter. (We were shown they would not be able to spend it.) In due time all provision will be had.” (Meaning, the source is irrelevant. Your Father is the source of all.) Then David asked (tongue in cheek) “Will the angels spread fertilizer on the grass for him?” LOL (I saw Baruch tilt his head in puzzlement.) Baruch said, “Humans worry about the strangest things.” (i.e. there are much greater things of importance for us to focus on and for the angels to be sent out to do. I personally feel that God expects us to bring things forth into our reality through our faith and the spoken word.)  I told David that Jeruel had taken out a leather bound book and was writing in it. David asked me what I thought he was writing and Jeruel said, “His acts of obedience.” David said, "Watch this". Then he asked a rhetorical question that he already knew the answer to. He asked, “What do you do with my disobediences?” Jeruel answered, “They are blotted out.” David laughed and said, “I knew that!" David then said a prayer that "our computers and stolen materials on the website be restored.” Baruch said, “The coming method for getting the Gospel out will be far superior to the computers you use now. It will transcend natural methods. The angels will be much more involved; both multiplying the natural materials, and also supernatural methods will be given the saints. Access and assistance (in the spirit realm) will be provided by the angels. (I had a vision while he was speaking of many translations of the saints, happening everywhere, guided by angels, and supernatural gifts being bestowed upon the saints to bless and save, heal and deliver God's elect. I also understood that languages would no longer be a barrier.) Later I asked Shemuel if he had anything to say since he is primarily assigned to fight the “Swamp” of our political enemies in Government and the factious “Swamp” that wars against UBM ministry with witchcraft and other nefarious activities. He said, “The enemy and his (human) minions have suffered great casualties and set backs recently. But they are re-grouping for another attack. Keep praying, interceding, and PRAISING. This will not end until THE END (Meaning, of this faction.). Jeruel interjected, “Yes! KEEP PRAISING.” (Jeruel goes out with our praises ahead of us into the battle.) Michael asked me to ask Baruch if he would be going with him on his next trip back to Arkansas? Baruch said, “I will not be going but another will go with you.” (I had a vision of an angel up in Michaels room standing at the foot of his bed making his own preparations for the journey. This angel had white wings and a long thick flowing robe down to the floor. He also had blonde loosely curled hair but their was a blue watery substance intermixed with his hair. I don't know if it was a blue fire or water but it behaved like water and was a beautiful aquamarine color.)  Michael asked, “What's this one's name?" I listened for a few seconds and Baruch said, “Ariel”. (David said, "Ariel is a Hebrew name meaning, “Lion of God.") He is Michael's guardian angel or angel of preservation. Several years back when we were still meeting at David's house for the morning prayer meetings. We had a guest visit us who was a friend of Denny and Debbie's. (I believe he was Iranian.) He was asking some questions and David went into his teaching mode. It was very powerful what David was sharing with this man and I felt the strong anointing that was coming through him and his words to this man. At that moment my eyes were opened to see two angels that were specifically assigned to David in his life and ministry. They were identical in appearance, like twins. They were both 6 1/2 feet tall and stood side by side.  They had long, thick, white robes down to the floor and large white wings. They had short, brown, straight, hair that was parted on the right and very youthful faces like they were in their early 20's. They had pale complexions and brown eyes. The one on David's right holds a shepherd's staff made of a polished reddish brown wood. His name is Bachuri and he is an angel of preservation or what we would call a guardian angel. His twin is named Simri and he bestows the anointing for teaching upon David. Simri means, “Watchman” but there is no earthly meaning for Bachuri that I have found. They are twins because their functions are intertwined. They are angels of shepherd-ship and teaching and well as serving to preserve and guard David's life.  When David was speaking the anointed message to the visitor, I saw Simri, who normally stands with his hands tucked inside his opposite sleeves, pull his hands out and extend them toward David's head. Then I saw what looked like a cornucopia in light mixed with sound waves resonate outwards from his hands in a funnel shape as the waves traveled through David's body and projected outward in larger and larger rings into the room. This is what the teaching anointing looked like. I've recently seen these two again and took the opportunity to ask their names.   Jesus Appears to UBM Missionary Anonymous - 8/4/22 (David's notes in red) Hallellujah to God. Praise be to God for ever, for your total commitment to his will and for the salvation of many. Maximum Respect to the entire community of UBM.  Daddy, I have been handling visitors since Friday last week until Yesterday. I had 4 apostles from a refugee camp. We shared a lot and they took books as well.  We dearly thank you for the unceasing prayers which you make for us. So far, many are crying for lack of food. Everything has continued to go high in prices. For sure every one here is so scared of where the country is heading to. But for us who are in Christ, we are strong and trusting in Him day by day. (We do what we can to meet their physical needs including to print and copy our materials.) Daddy, We have found grace before God last week. Ooh something happened to us at church in praying; I was leading prayers on Friday last week, and the Lord told me that “For in you, nations shall be blessed.” We continued praying and worshipping and a few minutes later, POWER hit the building and fire filled certain ladies. They were jumping in the air.   And then, a very strong temperature arose in our midist. I dont know what happened to me, but I was kneeling down and my eyes saw a very very bright being standing in our midst., I first saw Him from looking down. Inside the brightness was a man with a very white robe. I lifted my face upward and saw a very beautiful and smiling face!  Inside of me I heard a voice that said, “JESUS". I could not keep my eyes straight to Him. (Because of the brilliance) An atmosphere of JOY, real Joy covered the building, and 3 women in the congregation saw the same. They cried out louder saying that “OOOOOHH! MY EYES HAVE SEEN HIM" The 3 women said that HE had holes in his hands where nails had passed. It was a very shocking moment but very beautiful. It was around 8:30pm in the evening.  I started also crying out to the people that, "HE IS HERE…HE IS HERE ….HE IS HERE.” (This is not strange to us for we have seen the Lord and angels in our meetings for many years. And we have seen demons over the head of some who were turning factious and demons released when they played music or spoke.) I later on heard the Lord say that “I AM RAISING A NEW ARMY AND I START WITH YOU"  It was a tremendous thick presence around us. Many people cried out worshipping Him and rolling down on the ground… It was hard to explain, but it surely happened.  Daddy, thank you for keeping us upright in TRUTH. This message in books and audios have healed and restored many in churches back to Christ. By these messages, many surely testify that “We thought that we were born again, but we were not.”  Children here thank you very much. We are already in the Holidays (vacation) and all is well for the Lord God is in control.  May God keep you very strong and progressing in all things in Spirit and physically. Humble greetings to everyone that is faithfully serving you and serving with you in this journey... God richly bless them all. (Later this missionary wrote to report what happened to his wife that same night. He said:) "The night of that Friday after church, my wife did not sleep! She stayed awake, and at 2am she went to pray in a room, and 2 Angels came to her. The room was filled with Power and she begun to pray in a way that scared everyone in the house. She was crying so loud in the night at 2am.  She was speaking in tongues and was praying and seeing things at the same time. The 2 angels showed her, her life from since when she was a baby. Certain rituals were done on her when she was a baby and since then she saw a dark angel who has been following her everywhere she goes. Her Auntie has been doing rituals on her since she was young; controlling my wife's life on her alter until now. Her Auntie said, “My wife will be married but she will not have peace." She saw it all in that night. She has not been alone for sure." "She also saw me praying for the lame walking, people coming out of wheel chairs, casting away crutches, and power covering the congregation. God told her, "I can't use you now, stay home…”  (This was an answer to prayer for the missionary because his wife had a strong Jezebel spirit on her and she received a great deliverance this night. This mission is growing so fast and ministers from all over the country and some from surrounding countries are coming there and getting our free books and materials. These and other missionaries on another continent have seen exceeding growth. We do not identify them or their countries because the faction hates the real God and his children and have already tried to stop this. Our God is about to execute some of them for this.)   Watch How the Angels Exercise Dominion Marie Kelton - 12/6/21 (David's notes in red) I was asking the Lord about spiritual warfare again. The Lord said to me, "Watch the angels." A little while later, I had an open vision of me being in heaven. There  were these two huge angels and in between them was a huge demon with chains around it's wrists. (Our training, testing and our chastening through demons is controlled by God who, "Worketh all things after the counsel of His own will." If you don't believe this read the first chapter of Job. The demons have Biblical rights to torment those under the curse whether because of unbelief or sin. Sometimes they are permitted to test the righteous.) The angel on the left was holding a long chain that was connected to the demon's left wrist and the angel on right was holding the other long chain that was connected to the demon's right wrist. They were telling me how demons flee when you use the Word of God. They told me to test it out so I did. I don't remember what I said but I knew it was the Word of God.  The demon started to run away and it only got so far until the angels pulled it back. Then the angels said to me "See.” Jam 4:7 Be subject therefore unto God; but resist the devil, and he will flee from you. In Rev. 12 the angels have authority to conquer satan and his demons through our faith and testimony. Rev 12:7-11  And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels going forth to war with the dragon; and the dragon warred and his angels;  (8)  and they prevailed not, neither was their place found any more in heaven.  (9)  And the great dragon was cast down, the old serpent, he that is called the Devil and Satan, the deceiver of the whole world; he was cast down to the earth, and his angels were cast down with him.  (10)  And I heard a great voice in heaven, saying, Now is come the salvation, and the power, and the kingdom of our God, and the authority of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, who accuseth them before our God day and night.  (11)  And they overcame him because of the blood of the Lamb, and because of the word of their testimony; and they loved not their life even unto death.     Select LanguageAfrikaansAlbanianAmharicArabicArmenianAssameseAymaraAzerbaijaniBambaraBasqueBelarusianBengaliBhojpuriBosnianBulgarianCatalanCebuanoChichewaChinese (Simplified)Chinese (Traditional)CorsicanCroatianCzechDanishDhivehiDogriDutchEsperantoEstonianEweFilipinoFinnishFrenchFrisianGalicianGeorgianGermanGreekGuaraniGujaratiHaitian CreoleHausaHawaiianHebrewHindiHmongHungarianIcelandicIgboIlocanoIndonesianIrishItalianJapaneseJavaneseKannadaKazakhKhmerKinyarwandaKonkaniKoreanKrioKurdish (Kurmanji)Kurdish (Sorani)KyrgyzLaoLatinLatvianLingalaLithuanianLugandaLuxembourgishMacedonianMaithiliMalagasyMalayMalayalamMalteseMaoriMarathiMeiteilon (Manipuri)MizoMongolianMyanmar (Burmese)NepaliNorwegianOdia (Oriya)OromoPashtoPersianPolishPortuguesePunjabiQuechuaRomanianRussianSamoanSanskritScots GaelicSepediSerbianSesothoShonaSindhiSinhalaSlovakSlovenianSomaliSpanishSundaneseSwahiliSwedishTajikTamilTatarTeluguThaiTigrinyaTsongaTurkishTurkmenTwiUkrainianUrduUyghurUzbekVietnameseWelshXhosaYiddishYorubaZulu Powered by Translate Printer-friendly version

"Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people. God Himself will be with them and be their God. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away." Revelation chapters 19-20 give us a good idea of what will happen at the very end of time. To summarize, in Rev. 19, we learned that Jesus comes back to planet earth with His saints, destroys the wicked and cast the Antichrist and the false prophet into the lake of fire. In Rev. 20, Satan is bound and, in his absence, Christ rules and reigns with His saints on earth for a thousand years. At the end of this time, Satan is released from his prison for a short period of time to try one last time to destroy Christ and His saints. God destroys his army, and he is also cast into the lake of fire. Rev. 20 ends with a detailed description of the Great White Throne Judgment of all the unsaved, the dead, of all the ages of humanity, as they meet their final doom in the lake of fire. I believe that the believers and saints of all the ages will be spectators of this terrible judgment of the lost. We will watch and listen to God pronounce their final sentence to an eternity in everlasting punishment called the second death. We no doubt will weep, when we see many of our loved ones who rejected Christ, cast into the lake of fire. We will regret that we didn't give more for missions, pray more for missionaries, or even go ourselves to tell the untold millions who never heard of Jesus. We will be sorry that we didn't love and care for those that we crossed paths with, and take the opportunity to share with them the wonderful story of Jesus. That is how Revelation 20 ends! A sad event and time indeed! But thank God it doesn't end there. We still have chapters 21 and 22 that give us the “unveiling” of a new age that is eternal. God doesn't leave us in the dark about our final destiny as His people. Both creation itself and our conscience tell us and reveal to us that there is a God. A divine Designer behind the design. But to know specifically about Him and His plan for us we need a specific revelation. That's why God gave us the Bible! The entire Bible is a revelation of who God is, who we are, and what is His divine plan for us. The first book of the Bible is called Genesis, which means the Book of Beginnings. Only from this revelation do we really know the origin of the universe, the earth and mankind! I guarantee you they will not find it on Mars, in science, or anywhere else for that matter. I think it is also very interesting that the last book of the Bible is called Revelation! The wise man, Solomon tells us in Ecclesiastes 3:11, “He has made everything beautiful in its time. Also He has put eternity in their hearts…”. Eternity is in our hearts! There is something inside us that tells us that death does not end it all. There is something after death! Both pagan and religious beliefs have lots of ideas of what that might be. But only the Bible and Jesus give us very specific revelation about heaven and eternity. So, when I read Revelation 21-22, I believe and know that I have something very definite and special to look forward to! I know that I will join millions of believers, who at the White Throne Judgment will have many regrets and tears! But almost immediately, in Revelation 21:1-6, in contrast to the close of chapter 20, I am told that there will be a “new heaven and a new earth”,the “former things will pass away”, and that God Himself will “wipe away every tear”. My friend, what a time that will be! But it should be our desire today, to have as few regrets and tears as possible, as we live every moment of every day for the Lord Jesus Christ telling others of His love and grace! God bless!

There is no denying the fact that the book of Revelation is a book of judgment. It was written to people in the first century who were smiting under the angry whip of Roman persecution. It was given to them to let them know that God has a plan for the judgment of all those who have rejected Him. While there are passages that allow for rejoicing in the chapters of this book, it is, for the most part, a chronicle of God's final judgment of sin, sinners and Satan. In Revelation there is a series of three judgments which are executed in seven stages each. There are the seven seal judgments, the seven trumpet judgments and finally the seven bowl judgments.  As the judgments progress, the intensity and severity of the judgments increase. We have arrived at the final set of judgments. In Rev. 15:7 shows one of the four beasts giving to seven angels seven bowls “full” of the wrath of God. Just as a reminder, the word “full” means “to swell”. It is the image of a dam, under pressure, nearing its bursting point. This is a good description of the wrath of God. Ever since Adam sinned in Eden, the wrath of God against sin and sinners has been building. The grace and mercy of God have served as a powerful dam, which has held that wrath in check. In the judgments of the Revelation, the dam of God's wrath bursts and a Christ rejecting world is swept away in the wave of judgment that issues forth. Up to this point, God has always tempered His wrath. God has been faithful to honor the request of the prophet Habakkuk. In Hab. 3:2, the prophet prayed, “in wrath remember mercy.” But, now the time for judgment has come. There will be no mercy any longer. The wrath of God is about to be poured out. God is preparing to commence His final judgment of the earth. In Rev. 14:10, John writes, “The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation.” In these verses, the world is about to experience the undiluted wrath of an offended God. In verse 1 God issues the command for the angels to begin pouring out the bowls filled with His wrath upon the earth.

Things That Hinder the Bride's Maturity(Audio)David Eells - 7/10/22Satan Reads Minds & Inserts Thoughts David Eells I was asked this question: Can you substantiate in Scripture where it is written that Satan can put thoughts into our minds? My answer was: In order for Satan to put thoughts into our mind he would also have to be able to read our minds. I will try to explain this in a moment but first you might want to entertain another question: Can anyone substantiate with Scripture that Satan cannot put thoughts into our mind or read our mind? Since we can't do this then we shouldn't believe it because it is not Scriptural. (1Ch.28:9)... The Lord searcheth all hearts, and understandeth all the imaginations of the thoughts... In the spirit realm thoughts are audible to the mind of God and demons. God and demons can in turn impart the gift to read minds. I have read the thoughts of men by the Holy Spirit. A man once asked me if I knew what he was thinking. At that moment the Holy Spirit gave it to me and for several minutes the man was awed at the power of God.  Also when I first went to a full gospel Church I witnessed Christians exorcising a demon-possessed man who thought he was a woman. He also demonstrated the ability to read minds when the unbelieving Christians asked for a demonstration. He did say that it was easier to read the mind of one person there and pointed to the only person there who was not filled with the Spirit even though he did not know anyone there. Familiar spirits or spirits of divination in magicians, wizards, mediums, etc. have demonstrated the power to read minds in front of audiences of people. We wrestle with principalities and powers in the mind. {Eph.6:11} Put on the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. {12} For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world-rulers of this darkness, against the spiritual [hosts] of wickedness in the heavenly [places].... {17} And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. We see here that with the renewed mind of the Word our thoughts are guarded as with a helmet because we wont accept foreign thoughts. We are then able to take back our thoughts and cast the enemy's thoughts down. {2Co.10:3} For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh {4} (for the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but mighty before God to the casting down of strongholds), (The principalities and powers hold the strongholds in the thoughts of the mind.) {5} casting down imaginations (thoughts), and every high thing that is exalted against the knowledge of God, and bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ. We win the battle by rejecting the enemy's thoughts and replacing them with God's thoughts. We are at peace with God when we are full of His thoughts and our minds are guarded from the demonic attacks that cause outward actions of sin. {Php.4:6,7} In nothing be anxious; but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus. Satan is able to insert thoughts within our thoughts. {Act.5:3} But Peter said, Ananias, why hath Satan filled thy heart to lie to the Holy Spirit, and to keep back [part] of the price of the land?  {1Ch.21:1} And Satan stood up against Israel, and moved David to number Israel. Now here we can use a little Holy Spirit reasoning. How could Satan insert thoughts unless he knows the context of your thought? If you went into your computer to edit a program, how could you insert the right codes unless you could read the context of the computer's program? If you just inserted a code anywhere without knowing the program you would make a nonsensical statement and anyone would know that someone inserted something that was out of place. So it is with us. If Satan or demons inserted something nonsensical into our thoughts then everyone would know that they are at work. They do their best work undercover and they know it. How would Satan be able to tempt us if he was so dysfunctional? We would know it was him immediately. How then would it be temptation? Now here is the really important thing. Our battle does not depend on whether the enemy can read our mind or not. It depends on what he can do about what we know. When we read Job we clearly see that God has put restrictions on the Satan's ambitions for Job. Satan has to obey God's rules of engagement even when he knows what we think. Satan admits he did not have the power to get at Job because of God's hedge and the same is true of us. (Job.1:9) Then Satan answered the Lord, and said, Doth Job fear God for naught? (10) Hast not thou made a hedge about him, and about his house, and about all that he hath, on every side? thou hast blessed the work of his hands, and his substance is increased in the land.  It is not important for our thoughts to be hidden from the enemy when he can do nothing about them. And he can do nothing about our thoughts unless by them we give him permission for we have authority over him. {Luk.10:19} Behold, I have given you authority to tread upon serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall in any wise hurt you. {20} Nevertheless in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rejoice that your names are written in heaven. It doesn't matter what the demons know that we know for as sons of God we are their lords just as it was with Jesus. {Joh.20:21} Jesus therefore said to them again, Peace [be] unto you: as the Father hath sent me, even so send I you. {Mat.18:18} Verily I say unto you, what things soever ye shall bind (forbid) on earth shall be bound (forbidden) in heaven; and what things soever ye shall loose (permit) on earth shall be loosed (permitted) in heaven. Faith permits the sovereignty of God to be manifest through the body of Christ and forbids Satan no matter what he knows of our thoughts. Jesus' condition for receiving His benefits are plain: "As thou hast believed, [so] be it done unto thee" and "According to your faith be it done unto you" and "Thy faith hath made thee whole". As we believe, God's benefits will be given. Unbelieving thoughts and actions forbid God's benefits to us because He has made a condition and He cannot lie.  Unbelief permits Satan to continue administering the curse. (Mk.6:5) And he could there do no mighty work, save that he laid his hands upon a few sick folk, and healed them. (6) And he marvelled because of their unbelief. Even Jesus was forbidden to do mighty works for those who would not believe. Whether we know it or not, we are constantly forbidding or permitting Satan, demons, and God's angels by our thoughts, words and actions. Since all authority in heaven and earth was given to Jesus and He in turn delegated it to disciples, where does Satan get his authority? He gets it from our unbelief, words and disobedience. Adding to or taking from God's Word in thought and deed permits the curse by Satan and forbids God's blessings for us or through us. This is by God's design to motivate us to come into agreement with Him. (Rev.22:18) I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, if any man shall add unto them, God shall add unto him the plagues which are written in this book (19) and if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part from the tree of life, and out of the holy city, which are written in this book. So in coming into agreement with God we forbid Satan to administer the curse to us. So to win this battle we have to cast down the thoughts of Satan that are sent to get us to give him permission to destroy us. 2Co 10:3-5  For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh  4  (for the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but mighty before God to the casting down of strongholds),  5  casting down imaginations, and every high thing that is exalted against the knowledge of God, and bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ. Many think that the reason God gives the gift of tongues is so that Satan cannot understand what we say to God and his purposes will be thwarted. This is false. Satan and his fallen angels are much smarter than Christians give them credit. They certainly know the "tongues of men and of angels" or they couldn't communicate with one another and put thoughts in our heads. {1Co.13:1} If I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am become sounding brass, or a clanging cymbal.  When prophecy is uttered in one's own language the mind, doctrine and desires are permitted to be involved in what is said and the Word is polluted as 1 Cor. 13 says, "for we know in part, and we prophesy in part". In other words, the Prophecy can be part God and part man. However, the reason we speak with tongues is so that WE will not know what we are saying and will have no carnal reason to change it. In this way it will be a pure Word of the Spirit. {Rom.8:26} And in like manner the Spirit also helpeth our infirmity: for we know not how to pray as we ought; but the Spirit himself maketh intercession for [us] with groanings which cannot be uttered (by man); {27} and he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to [the will of] God. Satan finds it easier to conquer us when we are distracted by vain things that have no eternal value.   The Immature and Distracted Will Miss the Bride Joe Brits - 6/26/22 (David's notes in red) Just after the meeting this morning, Father gave me this dream: (Joe is being represented as the Man-child in this dream because of his name, Joseph, which means, “Jehovah has added”. Joseph was a very clear type of Jesus, the Man-child, in the Old Testament.) I was sitting in a bus with a bunch of people who were with me. (I believe that this bus represents the larger UBM bus that we have seen in many dreams.)  A very pretty lady, who's name means, “Wished-for child” in her early 20's was sitting to my left. (She represents the Bride body who wishes and longs for the fruit of Jesus to be born in her.) I knew a brother whose name means, “Noble" was there too, but I could not see him. (Representing the Spirit of Jesus in the Man-child reformers. Jesus said to His disciples, “You are my brethren…")  The bus pulled away and the very pretty lady said to me, “Our sister is still outside”. I looked and saw that the sister, whose name means, “Youthful”, was busy on her cell phone. (This youthful sister represents the “little sister” of the Bride spoken of in Song 8:8-9. Like in Esther, The immature are not ready to be with the Bride and will miss the corporate bus because of distractions.)   I could not see her face because she was looking in another direction. (They are not focused on sanctification and the more important things of the Kingdom, hence they are looking in another direction.) I said to the very pretty lady, "We will see her again”, and I put my left arm around her to reassure her. She put both her arms around me while we drove away. (Representing the Agape Love of the Bride and Man-child.) End of dream. (The Bride will cling to the Man-child as they enter the wilderness tribulation together.) I asked the Lord for a verse by faith at random for the "very pretty lady”   and I got: Mar 9:13  But I say unto you, that Elijah is come, and they have also done unto him whatsoever they would, even as it is written of him. (This verse is speaking of John the Baptist who preceded and prepared the way for the Man-child, Jesus, in the Spirit of Elijah. Since the Man-child is born out of the Bride, then, in a type, the First Fruits Elijahs of the Bride Body will make way for the coming of Jesus in Man-child reformers in our day.) I asked the Lord for a verse by faith at random for: the “youthful" cell phone lady and I got:  Zec 1:6  But my words and my statutes, which I commanded my servants the prophets, did they not overtake your fathers? and they turned and said, Like as Jehovah of hosts thought to do unto us, according to our ways, and according to our doings, so hath he dealt with us. (The more we pay attention to God and His Word the sooner we will mature and come out of trouble. Psa 81:13-14  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.)    Bondages Make Victims Anonymous - 6/27/22 (David's notes in red) The dream started with me walking past a birdcage that looked like the one I have in real life. (The cage represents bondage that would keep us from escaping.) In the birdcage I saw a large black snake about 2 inches thick with something in its mouth. (The snake in the birdcage with the bird in its mouth is a warning of the enemy trying to swallow us up in their witchcraft prayers against us. Me must pray and intercede against their schemes and attacks.  Psa. 56:1-6 Be merciful unto me, O God; for man would swallow me up: All the day long he fighting oppresseth me. 2 Mine enemies would swallow me up all the day long; For they are many that fight proudly against me. 3 What time I am afraid, I will put my trust in thee. 4 In God (I will praise his word), In God have I put my trust, I will not be afraid; What can flesh do unto me? 5 All the day long they wrest my words: All their thoughts are against me for evil. 6 They gather themselves together, they hide themselves, They mark my steps, Even as they have waited for my soul.)  Then, next to the birdcage, out of the bushes, came a second yellow snake with a few thin gray stripes about the same size as the black snake. (The color yellow represents fear and cowardice and the grey stripes represent death. The faction are cowards who back bite and attack behind our backs in darkness. Psa 11:2 For, lo, the wicked bend the bow, They make ready their arrow upon the string, That they may shoot in darkness at the upright in heart. And Psa. 23:4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; for thou art with me; Thy rod and thy staff, they comfort me. Through Satan's accusers comes much distraction and temptations such as Jesus, Joseph and David had to endure.) The snake came moving towards me. The next moment it turned around and then turned back in my direction and struck at me. (These deceivers feign and manipulate but cannot be trusted.) I tried to defend the strike with my hands. Then I woke up. I started praying in tongues, and got peace after a while. (The second snake part of the dream is explaining the first part. We are the bird. But we are delivered out of the power of darkness so we should bind these demons and pray it down.) I received a word by faith at random for this dream: Jer 30:20  Their children also shall be as aforetime, and their congregation shall be established before me; and I will punish all that oppress them. (God is going to punish these snakes who are continually persecuting and oppressing the righteous.)   Spirit of Legalism Trying to Kill the Body Winnie Osegueda - 6/30/22 (David's notes in red) I dreamt that I was at my mother's apartment on the second floor of the apartment building. (The Mother Church that we are born out of.) While I was there, I had a vision of a man in a black hoodie with a knife attempting to enter and come after me to kill me. (As we will see, this man in black represents a spirit of Legalism which is often in the apostate mother Church and tries to steal our liberty in Christ to kill us spiritually. Gal. 5:4 Ye are severed from Christ, ye who would be justified by the law; ye are fallen away from grace.)  Because I had this vision, I was aware he was coming. I opened the door and could see down the steps that the man was coming into the entrance of the apartment building on the first floor. (The first floor represents our flesh nature which is closest to the earth. This is where the spirit of Legalism gains entrance. 1 Co 15:46-49 Howbeit that is not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; then that which is spiritual. 47 The first man is of the earth, earthy: the second man is of heaven. 48 As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly. 49 And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.) I quickly ran out and left my phone behind. (Fear and legalism will sever our communications with the Holy Spirit represented by the cell phone.)  I ran up the stairs to the neighbor Wanda's house on the top third floor of the building. (Wanda means, "shepherdess; wanderer”. Jud 1:10-13 But these rail at whatsoever things they know not: and what they understand naturally, like the creatures without reason, in these things are they destroyed. 11 Woe unto them! For they went in the way of Cain, and ran riotously in the error of Balaam for hire, and perished in the gainsaying of Korah. 12 These are they who are hidden rocks in your love-feasts when they feast with you, shepherds that without fear feed themselves; clouds without water, carried along by winds; autumn leaves without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots; 13 Wild waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, for whom the blackness of darkness hath been reserved forever.) I began to knock on Wanda's door to let me in; telling her that there was a man in the building with a knife coming after me. The knife the man had was straight, but curved downward at the tip with two very sharp points, shaped like an upside down letter U. It looked almost like a gutting knife. Wanda finally opened the door. We closed the door and I told her about the man with the black hoodie in the building. I told her to keep it down because she was making a lot of noise, kind of stomping and jumping a little bit, freaking out, and I didn't want the man to hear us.  All of a sudden I realized that on the left side of Wanda's apartment, where the kitchen is supposed to be was a large glass wall and sliding door. The man was right outside the sliding doors entering into the apartment. (Job 3:25 For the thing which I fear cometh upon me, And that which I am afraid of cometh unto me. ) Even though I had left my phone in my mom's apartment on the second floor, I somehow had a phone in my hand, and I attempted to dial 911. (Psa 118:5-6 Out of my distress I called upon Jehovah: Jehovah answered me and set me in a large place. 6 Jehovah is on my side; I will not fear: What can man do unto me?)  Wanda told me that she didn't think it was a good idea for me to call the police because her friend Don didn't agree with calling the police, but I called anyway. (Donald means, “World ruler”. Satan is the god of this world and doesn't want us calling on Jesus to save us out of our situations. He wants to trick us into relying on legalism and self justification for our salvation.) I saw the man bring up the knife towards Wanda and he forced her to get into his car. (If we don't fight the spirit of Legalism he will destroy us and take us away from our Savior.) I now looked over to the right of the apartment building, and the wall was gone and there was now a large opening. So I left the apartment as I was dialing 911. (We must leave the unsanctified apartment by staying in touch with the Holy Spirit who leads and guides us.) I told the police the street that I was on so that they would find me. In the meantime, I decided to hide inside a restaurant that was kind of like a diner which was on the other side of the street. (This restaurant represents the safety we have when we abide in Christ who is the Bread of Life.)  I went inside the restaurant and entered the women's restroom. (The restroom represents the process of sanctification where we rid ourselves of the spiritual waste of the flesh nature.) There were a lot of different women in there and I told them about this man in the black hoodie. All of a sudden, the women pulled out their own knives similar to the knife that the man with the hoodie had, except the handle was white, and they stepped outside to confront this man and fight him. (A multi gifted Church body is a great help to defend us from our enemies. We must fight off legalism with the sword of the Word so that he will not separate us from Christ or one another. Psa. 118:7-8  Jehovah is on my side among them that help me: Therefore shall I see my desire upon them that hate me. 8 It is better to take refuge in Jehovah than to put confidence in man.) As they marched out of the diner, they marched towards the right and they began to sing very loudly. (Like the praisers in Jehoshaphat's Army that defeated Israel's enemies.) Then I woke up very suddenly. I don't remember what the women were singing, but when I woke up, the song that was playing loudly in my spirit was a song that we sing sometimes at our meetings: Ah, Lord God, Thou has made the heavensAnd the earth by thy great powerAh, Lord God, Thou has made the heavensAnd the earth by Thine out - stretched armNothing is too difficult for TheeNothing is too difficult for TheeGreat and mighty GodGreat in counsel and mighty in deed Nothing, nothing, absolutely nothingNothing is too difficult for Thee  I asked the Lord for a few verses by faith at random and received:   Psalm 118:14 (14-19 for context) The Lord is my strength and song; And he is become my salvation. 15 The voice of rejoicing and salvation is in the tents of the righteous: The right hand of the Lord doeth valiantly. 16 The right hand of Jehovah is exalted: The right hand of Jehovah doeth valiantly. 17 I shall not die, but live, And declare the works of the Lord. 18 The Lord hath chastened me sore; But he hath not given me over unto death.  19 Open to me the gates of righteousness: I will enter into them, I will give thanks unto the Lord.Isaiah 26:4 (2-7 in context) Open ye the gates, that the righteous nation which keepeth faith may enter in. 3 Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee; because he trusteth in thee. 4 Trust ye in the Lord for ever; for in the Lord, even the Lord, is an everlasting rock. 5 For he hath brought down them that dwell on high, the lofty city: he layeth it low, he layeth it low even to the ground; he bringeth it even to the dust. 6 The foot shall tread it down; even the feet of the poor, and the steps of the needy. 7 The way of the just is uprightness: thou that art upright dost direct the path of the just.Romans 4:21 (19-25 for context) And without being weakened in faith he considered his own body now as good as dead (he being about a hundred years old), and the deadness of Sarah's womb; 20 yet, looking unto the promise of God, he wavered not through unbelief, but waxed strong through faith, giving glory to God, 21 and being fully assured that what he had promised, he was able also to perform. 22 Wherefore also it was reckoned unto him for righteousness. 23 Now it was not written for his sake alone, that it was reckoned unto him; 24 but for our sake also, unto whom it shall be reckoned, who believe on him that raised Jesus our Lord from the dead, 25 who was delivered up for our trespasses, and was raised for our justification.   Strive to be Free Debbie Fenske - 6/27/22 (David's notes in red) Just before the evening meeting I felt I just needed to lay down and shut my eyes for a while. I did, and I began praying for our meeting. As I paused, I heard the Lord speak the word, “Liberated.” I prayed in the Spirit for only a couple moments, and then I heard the Lord say, “Strive to be liberated from all of this world's hold on you. I desire liberation for you. How I desire that all of My people desire liberation from this world. But so many hearts are not set on Me. They are bound to this world, and everything that they allow it to offer them. This world which is only a ball of matter that offers to My people nothing that matters, will soon be going down, and they will go down with it.”It was hard to hear the Lord say that. I heard a cry in His heart for His people who are so deceived and so captured by the strength of this world and all the false securities it offers them. I felt a strong sob coming up from deep in my belly, and I had to sit up on the edge of my bed and let out these great sobs, with tears.  I told Him that we so often read about His strong wrath but His mercy, peace, consolation, and Joy should also be remembered. He allowed me to feel just a tiny part of His grieving heart for His children because He knows that His grief will turn to strong wrath. He knows He will have to pour this out on those who have desired their own way; bondage to this world rather than receiving His liberation from it. (This is like the bird in the cage who was swallowed by the snake in the dream above.)   We Must Lay Down Our Idols Marie Kelton - 3/26/22 (David's notes in red) I was asking the Lord one day to send me a husband, but only when I was ready for one. Today, while I was at work, I heard the Lord say, “Why don't you lay it down?" Then the Lord gave me an open vision of Him sitting on a throne. He was wearing all white and was really huge. All I could see was his legs and His sandals. I saw myself place a little black idol, that was like a small statue of a person at His feet. I knew that the Lord was going to smash it. Then the vision ended. (The only way is, Mat 6:33 Seek ye first the kingdom of God and His righteousness and all these things will be added unto you.”)    Idolatry and Distractions Keep the Church Imature Joe Dobrozsi - 6/27/22 (David's notes in red) I wanted to contact you because I saw this sign again in the parking lot at work today. Last year, about three times, I saw what looked like another planet or something that seemed to cover the moon to where there was just a sliver of the moon visible. (The moon or Woman Church, cannot reflect the light of the Son/sun because the earth has come between them. i.e. The Church is looking at the earth or the worldly instead of the Son. This represents worldly idolatry or distractions keeping the Church from maturing. We have to behold the Son to reflect Him and come into His image - 2 Co 3:18) (I don't know if it's a vision or real), but every time I have seen this sign, the sun is getting ready to rise and that is something that really stands out to me the whole time. (We haven't had this many eclipses so this is a spiritual vision. We just received a dream of the immature missing the Man-child/Bride bus because of distractions. This is a good exhortation to run after Jesus because time is short to be chosen.)    Distractions Cause the Bride to Miss the Man-child  Claire Pienaar -  6/23/22 (David's notes in red) I was in a steak grill house, and I was with a group of people (This restaurant represents the fiery trials of the flesh.). The group of people were celebrating me, but I don't know why. I was given the best seats, goodie bags, and so much food and praise. I could not understand it. (These represent worldly distractions and flatteries which, as we will see, can cause the Bride to miss her appointment with the Man-child.) All I wanted was Richard, my first love (Richard was my first boyfriend, and in this dream, he and Riaan, my husband, were morphed into one character. Richard means “mighty ruler” and Riaan means “little king” so I think these men represent a corporate body of Jesus, or the Man-Child reformers.). (This is what makes her the Bride . She is always desiring to run after Jesus, her first love despite all the distractions of the world and the enemy.)  I went looking for Richard. I went to a shop where Riaan and I had once bought blue jeans and I waited there for him. (The Bride is only interested in running after Christ and walking in heavenly places, as represented by the blue jeans).    I went to find a toilet in the dream. (Riaan: The Bride is the one constantly looking to cleanse herself of all defilement, to be perfect and blemish-less for her Husband, Christ). I walked through a very hi-tech call-center to get to the bathroom. (The hi-tech call center represents a constant communication with the Holy Spirit in order to receive the convictions we need in order to repent.) (Riaan: Yes, it is the high calling of God, to be made separate, pure and holy for Him)  The toilet stalls were elevated, about one story higher than the call-center. The stalls were made from completely transparent glass, and the doors only covered my middle section… (This transparency of nakedness represents repentance and the confession of sin. 1Jn 1:9  If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. What disqualifies the wicked, is they cannot repent and confess their sins in order to be righteous. Narcissism, rejection, faction spirits put fear in people to Confess and Be delivered. And even then, some do not hold fast to the Gospel believing that Jesus took away their sins and gave them his life and so they do not mature because of double mindedness.) I walked back to the restaurant and when I realized Richard/Riaan wasn't coming, I was sad. I had missed his birthday. In the dream, the date that I had missed was the 23rd of March. (Son 5:4-6  My beloved put in his hand by the hole of the door, And my heart was moved for him.  5  I rose up to open to my beloved; And my hands dropped with myrrh, And my fingers with liquid myrrh, Upon the handles of the bolt.  6  I opened to my beloved; But my beloved had withdrawn himself, and was gone. My soul had failed me when he spake: I sought him, but I could not find him; I called him, but he gave me no answer.) (It seems the bride receives gifts on the Man-child's birthday. (The birthing of the Man-child ministry is when the Lord returns "as a mighty one" in the Man-child by Word and Spirit to reward the Bride but there was a delay. Isa 40:10  Behold, the Lord Jehovah will come as a mighty one, and his arm will rule for him: Behold, his reward is with him, and his recompense before him. And Isa 62:11  Behold, Jehovah hath proclaimed unto the end of the earth, Say ye to the daughter of Zion, (the Bride) Behold, thy salvation cometh; behold, his reward is with him, and his recompense before him.)  I've just recently been reading in Esther (by faith at random), and I saw that in Esther 8:9 the same day and month in their calendar was used as the date I received in this dream of March 23rd.  Est 8:7-11  Then the king Ahasuerus said unto Esther the queen and to Mordecai the Jew, Behold, I have given Esther the house of Haman, and him they have hanged upon the gallows, because he laid his hand upon the Jews.  8  Write ye also to the Jews, as it pleaseth you, in the king's name, and seal it with the king's ring; for the writing which is written in the king's name, and sealed with the king's ring, may no man reverse.  9  Then were the king's scribes called at that time, in the third month Sivan, on the three and twentieth day thereof; and it was written according to all that Mordecai commanded unto the Jews... 10  And he wrote in the name of king Ahasuerus, and sealed it with the king's ring, and sent letters by post on horseback... 11  wherein the king granted the Jews that were in every city to gather themselves together, and to stand for their life, to destroy, to slay, and to cause to perish, all the power of the people and province that would assault them, their little ones and women, and to take the spoil of them for a prey.) Back to Claire's dream: I made a way to leave the busy restaurant that was in a shopping mall, and got up onto the roof where a friend called Suzan was with me. (The Bride keeps looking for her Beloved.) She was so loving and kind and emotionally expressive and demonstrative with much hugging and squeezing my arm in reassurance (Riaan: Suzan means lily, she represents the reassuring love of Christ the Bride experiences when she leaves the world behind and strives for the heavenly. Song 2:2  As a lily among thorns, So is my love among the daughters).  On the roof I saw a helicopter that looked like an ambulance mixed with an ice-cream truck. I was waiting to go with it when it lifted up. (What the Bride needs now is lifting up and spiritual health so as not to miss our sweet appointment. We have already received in dreams that the coming of the Lord in His Man-child is awaiting the maturity of the Bride.) The scene changed and I walked through terraced paddocks, where I saw many black little calves. I came back to my bedroom in the dream and spoke to Riaan, who was on his knees praying at the foot of the bed when I arrived in our room. He said, “it sounds like Psalm 91 protection” and he started quoting the psalm to me. (Riaan: Mal 4:2 But unto you that fear my name shall the sun of righteousness arise with healing in its wings; and ye shall go forth, and gambol as calves of the stall.) (So when the helicopter/ambulance arises with the Bride she will have the Psalm 91 protection through the tribulation.)  Then I went back to the paddocks in the dream, and as I walked I knew I was getting closer to Richard/Riaan and the blue jeans.   I asked the Lord what the restaurant part of the dream represents, and received 2 Ch 6:29, (in context 29-31) what prayer and supplication soever be made by any man, or by all thy people Israel, who shall know every man his own plague and his own sorrow, and shall spread forth his hands toward this house: then hear thou from heaven thy dwelling-place, and forgive, and render unto every man according to all his ways, whose heart thou knowest (for thou, even thou only, knowest the hearts of the children of men); that they may fear thee, to walk in thy ways, so long as they live in the land which thou gavest unto our fathers.  I asked the Lord about the terraced paddocks and received by faith at random the word, “Mount Gilead” from Song 4:1 Behold, thou art fair, my love; behold, thou art fair; Thine eyes are as doves behind thy veil. Thy hair is as a flock of goats, That lie along the side of mount Gilead. (Terracing on the side of a mountain where flocks graze makes it possible for them to rest and to feed.) I asked for another verse at random about who Richard/Riaan represents and I received Song 4:4, Thy neck is like the tower of David Builded for an armory, Whereon there hang a thousand bucklers, All the shields of the mighty men. I thought it was too close to the previous verse I received, so I asked for another verse by faith at random and received the word “Gilead” again, this time from Jer 50:19  And I will bring Israel again to his pasture, and he shall feed on Carmel and Bashan, and his soul shall be satisfied upon the hills of Ephraim and in Gilead. Besides distractions ego in the form of competitiveness holds the Bride back from maturity.    Competition Divides the Church Claire Pienaar - 12/17/21 (David's notes in red) I dreamed I was in a really dark church in a very dark city, late at night. (This represents the Babylonish apostate church system that is at the end of the Gentile Church dispensation.) The church had so many things wrong with it. It had a golden altar (Representing Idolatry) and separate places for new believers, old believers, women, children, men, and elders. (This represents the denominalizations and divisions, sects or heresies that the Bible warns about in 2 Pe 2:1 But there arose false prophets also among the people, as among you also there shall be false teachers, who shall privily bring in destructive heresies, (Heresies are a self-willed opinion that causes division) denying even the Master that bought them, bringing upon themselves swift destruction.) It was eery due to the darkness that was coming in from the outside. (The apostate Church has let the darkness of the world and its ways inside.) (Riaan: Before the coming of the Man-Child Jesus, the people of God were in darkness for hundreds of years). Some young people came in, and I thought they were going to add some life to the gathering, but they were just there to wait out the storm that was raging outside. (Many who are young in the Lord start out in apostate churches because they believe there is an escape from the world and its curses there. They either stay and die a slow spiritual death or they come out and begin seeking the Lord and truth for themselves.) I tried to get to the “main” part of the church, but the older women of the church continuously tried to get me to come with them to their “women's fellowship”. I did not want to be taught by a woman and kept on looking for a way to exit without anyone noticing, so as not to offend. (Note: In Titus it tells the older women to teach the younger women Tit 2:4-5  that they may train the young women to love their husbands, to love their children,  5  to be sober-minded, chaste, workers at home, kind, being in subjection to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed. But they are not to teach doctrines which a lot of Women's fellowships do.) I noticed they took the children out of the main church and put them in a separate room away from their mothers. (We saw in Titus that the mothers are the ones who are supposed to teach their children.) There was much fussiness and fussing between the mothers, the “caregivers” and the children and I could not understand any of it. I finally found a little red umbrella and decided to go outside. I didn't care if I was going to get wet or drenched or blown away in the storm, but I had to leave. Then I woke up. (I don't think this dream is for me personally as I've not been part of any institution for a long time, and I don't really subscribe to mainline denominational stuff... but it's a good warning for others, and a call to pray for those who still need to come out. I also think the Lord showed me this dream to confirm the darkness that is befalling the current institutionalized church, as is evident from the verses I received concerning it.).  I asked the Lord for a verse by faith at random. (She received a text that speaks of the coming David Man-child reformers to bring the Church back into Biblical order.)   Psa 89:25  I will set his hand also on the sea, And his right hand on the rivers. (In context 20-29)  I have found David my servant; With my holy oil have I anointed him: 21 With whom my hand shall be established; Mine arm also shall strengthen him. 22 The enemy shall not exact from him, Nor the son of wickedness afflict him. 23 And I will beat down his adversaries before him, And smite them that hate him.  24 But my faithfulness and my lovingkindness shall be with him; And in my name shall his horn be exalted. 25 I will set his hand also on the sea, And his right hand on the rivers. 26 He shall cry unto me, Thou art my Father, My God, and the rock of my salvation. 27 I also will make him my first-born, The highest of the kings of the earth. 28 My lovingkindness will I keep for him for evermore; And my covenant shall stand fast with him. 29 His seed also will I make to endure for ever, And his throne as the days of heaven. I asked the Lord for one more word by faith at random, and received Hos 13:2: And now they sin more and more, and have made them molten images of their silver, even idols according to their own understanding, all of them the work of the craftsmen: they say of them, Let the men that sacrifice kiss the calves. (This may represent the religious institutions who follow another Jesus.)   Warning of the Competitive Prophetic Spirit Garrett Crawford - 5/29/22 (David's notes in red) ...I began to tell my wife yesterday that none of the false prophets are speaking about this Nuclear event that the Lord showed me. None of them are warning of something so specific as this. They speak in vague loose language so after an event or calamity happens they can go back and say "See! I saw that! I warned of that!" But they only deceive themselves and their followers. (I want to be very clear I am not a prophet in any sense of the word) A true prophet is given specific details of events to come. Sometimes they know where and when and why.  I was telling my wife the false prophets in the church with the large audiences will be totally caught off guard by this event. It will shock them to their core, but afterwards they will surely take credit for seeing it in advance. They will scramble amongst themselves through their endless pages of vague prophetic nonsense and revisit hours of recorded speaking engagements to see what 2 or 3 lines can be strewn together to prove this was warned of. God's true prophets do not need to go to such desperate lengths. God's true prophet's words are few, prophecies are few but are etched in stone and are amazingly accurate. (Yet Many warnings in these days come from simple people with simple dreams, not from those who even promote themselves as a “prophet".) This weighed on my heart. Yes, I knew the tendencies of the false prophets but I also looked within myself with the utmost scrutiny. I cried out to Jesus saying, "Lord, search my heart. If there is any vain glory or self seeking spirit within me, reveal it and drive it from me." Revelations are not for boasting or receiving the praise of men. They are dangerous for many because the flesh loves to glory in itself and take credit for being set apart and special.  I did not want to be like the false prophets that travel from conference to conference, church to church stealing words from one another and slapping each other on the back. Yet even in this prayer my own self righteousness and pride was well at work within me. Sometimes we feel pretty good about seeing the flaws of others yet miss so much about ourselves. Many have made whole ministries of pointing out the heresies of the false church and it's leaders. All the while being completely self seeking and prideful themselves, but I digress. When I got home I was still thinking about how "no one" in the prophetic mainstream is specifically talking about this soon coming judgment. I felt like I was the only one with this understanding. I felt like a man on an island and although I knew not to go to the "false patriot prophets" as I call them. I did start to do some searching on youtube about a nuclear strike on New York City. To my surprise I did see quite a few dreams seeing pretty much the same things I saw. These weren't any of the who's who of the charismatic realm, they were nobodies like me. Just everyday people like myself with no title or authority just sharing dreams of judgment.  Some were quite amazing and detailed. I was not completely shocked as I know God always confirms things in the mouths of two or three witnesses, but I have to be honest after I watched these I felt a little unsettled within myself. I still felt something amiss in my heart. Almost like dare I say "a competitive spirit." I knew these people were not in the false prophet crowd, there was absolutely no worry there. But I felt a tinge of pride within me, I still wanted to feel like I was the only one.  I recall Elijah telling those on Mt. Carmel: I am the only one of the LORD's prophets left, but Baal has four hundred and fifty prophets. (Elijah failed to acknowledge what Obadiah had just told him earlier, "Hey there's still a bunch of prophets left in a cave, I have them hidden from Jezebel”) 1 Ki 18:3-4 Now Obadiah greatly feared the LORD, 4 for when Jezebel had slaughtered the prophets of the LORD, Obadiah had taken a hundred prophets and hidden them, fifty men per cave, providing them with food and water.   (Elijah got scared of Jezebel like everyone else and hid in a cave later.) 1 Ki 19:9  There Elijah entered a cave and spent the night. And the word of the LORD came to him, saying, “What are you doing here, Elijah?” “I have been very zealous for the LORD, the God of Hosts,” he replied, “but the Israelites have forsaken Your covenant, torn down Your altars, and killed Your prophets with the sword. I am the only one left, and they are seeking my life as well.”  (Even there Elijah still maintained he was the only one doing God's will.) Everything he just said was true, except for the fact he was the only one still following God in such a horrible time of apostasy. God let him in on a little secret: "Nevertheless, I have reserved seven thousand in Israel—all whose knees have not bowed to Baal and whose mouths have not kissed him.” I think we need to realize the fact we are all nobodies, none is more special than the other. In this time in history spiritual gifts are working in us all. It's just not rare to see the Holy Spirit giving dreams and visions to people anymore. We need to get off our self-imposed isolated high horse and just be like little children: humble, happy and content. Comparison is the thief of all joy, I don't know who said that but I see it around alot and it's fitting for this exhortation. But I also want to examine something else. I feel like the prophetic has become a sport. We are just tallying points to see who got it right more times, and in the end we can add up our stats and let everyone know we hear God better than others. The most important thing we must remember is that God does not want anyone to perish. He takes no joy in the death of the wicked. He gives us these warnings to share with others so that men may repent. Death is not something to celebrate, "getting it right" is not something to relish in. Having a dream or vision come to pass means nothing if we don't have humility and a longing for men to be saved. Are we all Jonahs? Do we want to merely operate in the spiritual gifts but are far more concerned with our track record?  Ask yourself are you willing to be called a false prophet in order that men will be saved from the very judgments you have so clearly seen? If you knew that the judgment you saw and were made to proclaim would be delayed or even stopped completely would you still proclaim it? If you knew you would be called "false prophet, lying spirit or deceiver" would you still speak? Until you are ready to be hated of men God can not use you. It's his mercy that he has not ordained many of us with prophetic giftings into the office of prophet. We could simply not take the heat.  Many of us (including myself) have no idea what it means to be a prophet or apostle. They are despised by the world, hated among the majority of the Church, and often find themselves alone in a cave. They are public spectacles and objects of wrath, humiliation and scorn. Forget everything you see in the mainstream Church,You-tube, or in movies. I can assure you Satan has deceived the minds of the lost and lukewarm Christians concerning this. One thing God told me long ago, "Garrett if you see someone that has prophet or apostle before their name, they usually aren't."  I can't take credit for the understanding laid out above though. It was only after having this dream last night that God gave me some insight about what exactly was going on in my own heart:   Satan Pits Brother Against Brother Garrett Crawford - 5/29/22 (David's notes in red) In this short dream, I was dressed in purple and gold. (The uniforms are the righteous garments of the saints. The purple represents royalty, the gold represents being refined in the fire. All of God's children should be wearing purple and gold.) (Representing being dressed in royalty. God promised Abraham that out of him kings would come. We are Abraham's seed if we hold to the faith of Abraham. Gen 17:5-7 Neither shall thy name any more be called Abram, but thy name shall be Abraham; for the father of a multitude of nations have I made thee. 6 And I will make thee exceeding fruitful, and I will make nations of thee, and kings shall come out of thee. 7 And I will establish my covenant between me and thee and thy seed after thee throughout their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be a God unto thee and to thy seed after thee.  And Gal. 3:6-9 Even as Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned unto him for righteousness. 7 Know therefore that they that are of faith, the same are sons of Abraham. 8 And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, preached the gospel beforehand unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all the nations be blessed. 9 So then they that are of faith are blessed with the faithful Abraham.)  I was in the uniform of the Los Angeles Lakers basketball team in an NBA arena. We were playing a game against another team. But oddly enough the other team was dressed in purple and gold too. They were also the Los Angeles Lakers. It seemed the same team was playing against themselves. (This represents a competitive, and in some cases, denominational spirit among God's elect that brings disrepute to the Name of Jesus.) I was a starter and the star on my team and I was scoring most of the points. I noticed Kobe Bryant was the only coach on the floor and it seemed he was coaching both teams. (Kobe in Hebrew is a form of Jacob which means supplanter or cunning.) Kobe Bryant's nickname was the "Black Mamba". (Representing Satan, the accuser of the brethren.) Kobe saw that I was scoring a lot of points so he substituted someone into the game. He substituted a man I went to school with named Adam Brotherton. I knew Adam was not as skilled as I was, he wasn't even a starter. (Adam Brotherton represents all our brethren in Christ who was the second Adam.)  As he came off the bench, I was not threatened by him, but then Adam began to match me point for point. Every time I scored, Adam scored. This went back and forth for sometime. I was pretty irritated and quite threatened by his ability to score just like me. When I watched Adam I saw no guile in him, jealousy or a competitive spirit. He was humble and just enjoying the game. I seemed to be playing against Adam, but Adam was simply playing the game as the game was meant to be played. He was smiling and having a good time. Then I woke up. (Scoring points is not bad, and it's not bad to be gifted. But Satan or the "Black Mamba" will use brother against brother to become competitive and often make one lose sight of just enjoying the game, that is when we start watching others too closely and insecurity sets in. Gifted Christians that know more then others will start to look down on less gifted brothers and think they are not as spiritual as them, therefore can't do the same things God has allowed them to do.  But God will humble older and more spiritual brothers by substitutes and allow these younger brothers to do things they themselves think only they can do. In the end we have to remember we are all brothers, we are all wearing purple and gold and we all play for the same team. We don't need to be competitive and threatened when God uses someone else. Satan wants us competing with each other and keeping score. There is plenty of time in the game and we all get a chance to shoot the ball at different times.)   The Bride Seeks the Prize of “High Calling of God in Christ Jesus” David Eells I've discovered that when it's really hard to turn the other cheek or to resist not him that is evil, it's usually because there is some competitive spirit, some pride, some judgment in our heart concerning the people who are coming against us. Our old man rises up, our pride rises up, that competition rises up and we want to retaliate. We don't want to bear that fiery trial; we don't want to bear that cross. But the Lord is teaching us that, when we submit to what the Word of God has to say concerning other people, our mind doesn't get stirred up emotionally against them.  Being emotionally stirred up makes it almost impossible to be obedient. The Bible tells us what we are to do concerning the “weak” brother: (Rom.14:1) But him that is weak in faith receive ye, [yet] not for decision of scruples (or “to doubtful disputations”). There are people who are weak in the faith, whose doctrine is not what ours is concerning the faith, concerning salvation, concerning the Holy Spirit and many other things.  Many times in our church life, we've been taught to judge these people, rather than do what God says, which is to receive them. (2) One man hath faith to eat all things: but he that is weak eateth herbs. (3) Let not him that eateth set at nought him that eateth not; and let not him that eateth not judge him that eateth: for God hath received him. (4) Who art thou that judgest the servant of another? to his own lord he standeth or falleth. Yea, he shall be made to stand; for the Lord hath power to make him stand. So Paul tells us that there are people who are weak in the Christian faith and that we're not to judge them. We're to give them the time to grow up. (10) But thou, why dost thou judge thy brother? or thou again, why dost thou set at nought thy brother? for we shall all stand before the judgment-seat of God. I had experiences where the Lord taught me this.  The prize itself is to be chosen as the Bride as we will see. It is important to note that the Church is not the Bride as some simplistically say, but she is chosen out of the Church. Esther, the Bride, was chosen out of all the fair virgins of the kingdom to be the Bride of one who was at that time the ”King of kings” and this after Vashti was rejected because she did not obey the King. Also in SoS, the Shulammite, meaning "perfected one", was chosen out of all the women of the kingdom. Son 6:8-9  There are threescore queens, and fourscore concubines, And virgins without number. 9 My dove, my undefiled, is but one; She is the only one of her mother; She is the choice one of her that bare her. The daughters saw her, and called her blessed; Yea, the queens and the concubines, and they praised her. Also in Psa 45 the Bride raised up the virgins to know the Lord. Jesus always taught in His parables the Jewish Marriage ceremony in which everyone was accounted for in the Church. There was the Bride, the virgins who escort her to the grooms home after the marriage feast, the friend of the Bridegroom, and those receiving the invitations. In Revelation 19, the Bride had on a glorious lampros garment, meaning not only white but glowing. There we see that those invited had on a simple leukos garment meaning white. Of course the Bride does not receive an invitation to her own marriage. What are the advantages of Being in the Bride?   They sit next to the King forever in the highest Holy of Holies like the Bride in Psalm 45. In Joel 2, as righteous Jerusalem, they escaped the beast who captured the rest of God's people in a tribulation. They conquered the Assyrian beast to save God's people. In Esther she had the Love, respect and ear of the King and brought down the beast Haman and his people to save the people of God. In SoS she raised up her little sister, the rest of the people of God, to enter the presence of the King.  In the Gospels they raised up the Church and ordained the 5 fold ministries. In Rev. 3, as the Philadelphia Church of brotherly love, they escaped the hour of trial that came on the rest of the Church and the whole world. This is not a rapture, she is supernaturally spared for she is not under the curse as we have seen. They were given the name of the New Jerusalem. She is born from heaven and God's new name was written upon them.   Select Language Afrikaans Albanian Amharic Arabic Armenian Azerbaijani Basque Belarusian Bengali Bosnian Bulgarian Catalan Cebuano Chichewa Chinese (Simplified) Chinese (Traditional) Corsican Croatian Czech Danish Dutch Esperanto Estonian Filipino Finnish French Frisian Galician Georgian German Greek Gujarati Haitian Creole Hausa Hawaiian Hebrew Hindi Hmong Hungarian Icelandic Igbo Indonesian Irish Italian Japanese Javanese Kannada Kazakh Khmer Kinyarwanda Korean Kurdish (Kurmanji) Kyrgyz Lao Latin Latvian Lithuanian Luxembourgish Macedonian Malagasy Malay Malayalam Maltese Maori Marathi Mongolian Myanmar (Burmese) Nepali Norwegian Odia (Oriya) Pashto Persian Polish Portuguese Punjabi Romanian Russian Samoan Scots Gaelic Serbian Sesotho Shona Sindhi Sinhala Slovak Slovenian Somali Spanish Sundanese Swahili Swedish Tajik Tamil Tatar Telugu Thai Turkish Turkmen Ukrainian Urdu Uyghur Uzbek Vietnamese Welsh Xhosa Yiddish Yoruba Zulu Powered by Translate Printer-friendly version

In Revelation the “beast” is mentioned at least eight times in his association with the “woman”. Yesterday we talked about the “woman” in this chapter, whom we believe to be the apostate church that is left on earth after the rapture of the true church. John in his vision in the wilderness saw the woman sitting on a “scarlet beast”. There is no doubt that this is the same Beast we met in chapter 13 who is the Antichrist. “Then I stood on the sand of the sea. And I saw a beast rising up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and on his horns ten crowns, and on his heads a blasphemous name.” (Revelation 13:1). Notice that his description there is the same. In Rev. 17:8 we are told that he is “the beast that was, and is not, and yet is”. This indicates that he comes up out of the bottomless pit, suggesting that he was raised from the dead. Some Bible teachers believe that he is Judas Iscariot raised from the dead because he is called the “son of perdition” by Jesus in John 17:12. In 2 Thessalonians 2:3-4, and 8, the Apostle Paul also calls him the “son of perdition”. “Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition, who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God…. And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord will consume with the breath of His mouth and destroy with the brightness of His coming.” At least twice in this chapter the beast and the woman are linked together. The “woman is sitting on the scarlet beast”(v. 3). In verse 7 we read, “…the woman and of the beast that carries her…”. I believe that this signifies that in the first part of the Tribulation, the beast, the Antichrist, will use his influence and position as a peacemaker to promote the apostate church. He will lead the world to be a part of this one-world religious system that makes its headquarters in the city of Rome. The “harlot” is also described as “sitting on the waters”, and we are told that these waters are symbolic of “peoples, multitudes, nations, and tongues.” (Rev 17:15) This means that the apostate church extends her power and influence over all the peoples of the earth. And of course, the Antichrist and the “ten horns” which are ten kings, (17:12), that he gave authority to, will be behind her rise to this position. But then after the first three and a half years of the Tribulation, the Antichrist overcomes the “two witnesses” in Jerusalem and kills them and he is ready to establish his own religion. His false prophet comes on the scene at this point and makes an image to the “beast” in the temple of the Jew in Jerusalem (Rev. 13). And that is when the Antichrist causes the “ten horns” (the ten kings that he has promoted), “to hate the harlot,(the woman), make her desolate and naked, eat her flesh and burn her with fire.” (Rev. 17:16) We can already see in our day how the “spirit of lawlessness” is on the rise! The time is getting close to when this “son of perdition” is about to be revealed! But that will only happen after the church has been raptured! Let me close today with these wonderful verses from Titus 2:11-14: “For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men, teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly in the present age, looking for the blessed hope and glorious appearing of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ, who gave Himself for us, that He might redeem us from every lawless deed and purify for Himself His own special people, zealous for good works.” Thank God, we have the “blessed hope” in this day of apostacy and lawlessness!

The rites and ceremonies of other denominations usually use bread and wine (or grape juice). However, communion to Friends is an inward, spiritual experience of God and His Messiah that does not require any outward rites or ceremonies. Reading from A Brief Synopsis, we find, “It is discovered that since Friends' worship desires to be an inward, spiritual experience, in like manner, so is the Friends' concept of communion. Thus, in His eating of the Passover with His disciples the day before His crucifixion, Friends believe Christ was not instituting a [new] rite or ordinance, but was observing with them a final act in the Mosaic Law” . . . “which was fulfilled and abrogated by our Savior's most acceptable sacrifice of Himself on Calvary for the salvation of mankind.” The requirements of the Mosaic Law were but types and shadows of the things to come (i.e., prototypes and foreshadowings). Communion is in Spirit and in Truth. Since the reality and substance of a true spiritual communion with Him are now possible, without rite or ceremony, how can we be satisfied with the outward elements, by reverting to an outward rite or ceremony?  In Rev 3:18-22 the dining which the Lord promises to do is clearly a spiritual, not an outward dining. He comes to us through a spiritual door, and not a physical, outward (ceremonial or rite-caused) element.   The Christian life is a life in the Spirit. Thus, it must be nourished by spiritual food, not an by outward physical rite, ceremony or element. There is a discussion on “transubstantiation” (as Catholics understand eucharist) and “consubstantiation” (as some Eastern Orthodox, and some Episcopal and Lutheran Churches) and their errors as explained by Robert Barclay in his Apology for the True Christian Divinity [= A Defense of the Truly Christian Theology]. Barclay saw the “this” (in “Do this in remembrance of me”) as meaning that any meal we eat in commemoration of Jesus should be done remembering His sacrifice for us.  The Gospel according to John does not give an account of the Passover meal, but John repeatedly focuses on the need to spiritually feed upon the Spirit of Christ.   Resources: Robert Barclay An Apology for the True Christian Divinity (Proposition 13)Synopsis of the Principles and Testimonies of the Religious Society of Friends Heb 10:1John 14:20,21Rev 3:20II Pet 1:3,4Rev 318-22Mat 26:20, 26-30I Cor 11:23-26 I Pet 1:10,11I Cor 10:1-10 Credits:The words to the music are from Margaret Fell's Letter to the King on Persecution in 1660.  The music was composed and sung by Paulette Meier.  Her work can be found at paulettemeier.com

"He was granted power to give breath to the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak and cause as many as would not worship the image of the beast to be killed.” The middle chapters of the Book of Revelation, 10-14, are also describing events that take place in the middle of the Tribulation. Here in Rev. 13:1, there is a “beast that comes up out of the sea”, who is also called the Antichrist. In Rev. 13:11, there is another “beast that comes up out the earth”, who is also called the “false prophet.” What we learn in the above verses is that the false prophet will exercise the same kind of demonic power and authority as the Antichrist does, since both are empowered by the same hellish source. That he exercises his authority in Antichrist's presence implies that Antichrist will have delegated that authority to him. The false prophet's mission will be to use all the means available to him from the Antichrist to cause the earth and those who dwell in it to worship the first beast. He will lead the worldwide cult of Antichrist worship. The false prophet's efforts to promote the worship of the Antichrist will receive a tremendous boost from a startling, spectacular event: the apparent healing of the first beast's (Antichrist's) fatal wound (v. 3; 17:8). Some commentators believe that the false prophet was able to duplicate the resurrection of the two witnesses by resurrecting the Antichrist from the dead. It is possible that when the Antichrist overcame the two witnesses and killed them that he was mortally wounded and died. That's when this false prophet shows up and resurrects him from the dead. Others believe that the whole world watch this fight with the witnesses and saw him receive a “deadly wound”. But that his “death and his resurrection” was staged and only a ruse. Either way, the world sees all this and is deceived by the false prophet and are now willing to worship the “first beast”, the Antichrist. It is at this time, that the Antichrist breaks the peace treaty with Israel and seeks to destroy them. But God protects them, and they flee to the wilderness to a place prepared for them. Then the Antichrist and the false prophet perform their next sign which is “the abomination of desolation" mentioned by Daniel (Dan. 9:27; 11:36), Jesus (Matt. 24:15), and Paul (2 Thes. 2:4). What is "the abomination of desolation"? It is the image of "the beast," set up in the temple in Jerusalem. An idol is bad enough; but setting it up in the temple is the height of all blasphemy. Since Satan could not command worship in heaven, he will go to the next best place—the Jewish temple in the Holy City (see Dan. 8:9-14). Then the false prophet will miraculously make the idol, the image of the Antichrist to speak by giving it breath. He will also demand that everyone worship this image and if they don't, they will be killed. The question often gets asked if Satan can do miracles. And of course, the answer is yes. Remember when Moses had Aaron thrown down his rod and it became a snake, that the magicians of Pharoah were able to duplicate this miracle with their rods. But also remember, that Aaron's snake ate up their snakes, proving that God is the ultimate power and authority. Today, there are many false prophets who call themselves ministers who even sometimes do miraculous things. But just because they can perform a sign or miracle, you should not believe them. They usually are simply drawing attention to themselves and want your money. Jesus said we don't need a sign! He gave us what we needed when He died on the cross and resurrected the third day! That is His Great Sign! God bless!

Today we begin our study on Revelation 10-11. These two chapters somewhat go together as we will see later. The Book of Revelation has 22 chapters, so when we get here, we are almost in the in the middle of the book. Interesting these chapters (10-11) are like an interlude explaining to us some of the details of the events that take place in the first three and half years of the Tribulation. For many of us the Book of Revelation is a difficult book to comprehend and understand. It is hard to follow the chronology of time as the events in the book are revealed concerning the Tribulation. I have to admit, I have had difficulty over the years trying to figure out what is actually taking place and when it is happening. So, hopefully as we go through this study, I will be able to simplify the book and make it a little easier to understand, especially as you read it in the future. But my main purpose is not to just help us understand the book but to be motivated to grow in our faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and to share the message of this book with our family, friends and others, and to warn them of the terrible judgments that definitely are going to take place on the earth in the future. As we come to these middle chapters it might help us to briefly review chapters 6 through 9, which describe the first three and a half years. In chapter 6 we saw the seven sealed book or scroll being opened by the Lamb revealing the coming of the Antichrist. In chapter 7, we have an interlude that describes an event at the very beginning of the Tribulation where the 144,000 Jews are sealed and sent forth preaching the Gospel. Also, we saw the souls of the multitudes of martyrs under the altar. In chapter 8, after the seventh seal is opened, the seven trumpets begin to sound. The first four trumpets bring terrible desolations to the earth. In Chapter 9, when the fifth and sixth trumpet sound, an army of terrible demons is release from the pit of hell, and another army of 200 million demons are release in the east that kill one-third of mankind. Now in chapters 10-11, we have another interlude that helps us better understand the events in the first three and a half years. You might ask the question, how do we know that the Tribulation will last seven years? I believe we find the answer in the following passages. In Rev. 11:2, the Gentiles “will tread the holy city underfoot for forty-two months.” (This is a reference to the last three and a half years). In Rev. 11:3, the two witnesses “will prophesy one thousand two hundred and sixty days.” (This happens in the first three and a half years). In Rev. 12: 6 and 14, the Jewish remnant is protected by God during the last three and one-half years. In Rev. 13:5, the Beast is “speaking great things and blasphemies, and he was given to continue for forty-two months.”(This is in the last three and one-half years.) To summarize this, the first three and a half years is called the Tribulation. The last three and a half years is called the Great Tribulation.” Jesus in His prophetic message, said that after you see the abomination of desolation that Daniel the prophet talked about, that “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.” (Matthew 24:21) My friend every word of the Bible is true, and every prophecy will be fulfilled! May the Lord help us to heed the warnings that come with these messages! God bless!

This message brings us to the half way point of the book of Revelation. It also brings us to the end of a very long section that began back in Rev. 10:1. In this passage, the seventh trumpet, which was announced in Rev. 10:7, is about to sound. When it is sounded, this trumpet will unleash God's final acts of judgments upon the earth.   The seventh trumpet will bring about a devastating wave of judgment. It will fulfill the ancient prophecies of Joel 2:1-2, “Blow ye the trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm in my holy mountain: let all the inhabitants of the land tremble: for the day of the LORD cometh, for it is nigh at hand; (2) A day of darkness and of gloominess, a day of clouds and of thick darkness, as the morning spread upon the mountains: a great people and a strong; there hath not been ever the like, neither shall be any more after it, even to the years of many generations.” When it is sounds, the seven bowl judgments are revealed.  These bowls contain the final, awesome, awful judgments of God, Rev. 15:1. The sound of the seventh trumpet alerts the world that King Jesus is about to reclaim everything that belongs to Him. Now, the seventh trumpet is sounded here in Rev. 11:1, but the events it brings to pass are not recorded until we get to Rev 15. Chapters 12-14 are a retelling of the Tribulation story from a different perspective. In Rev. 6-11, the focus has been on the Lord Jesus. We have learned about the process He uses to take possession of this earth. Rev. 12-14 takes the focus off the Lord and places in on the Antichrist. We have been observing the Tribulation from God's perspective. For the next few chapters we will observe that awful period of time fro Satan's perspective.       This passage takes us forward in time to the very edge of eternity. We are transported ahead to the end of the age to a time when Jesus has taken possession of the world and judged sin and sinners. As we look ahead to that blessed day, we find Heaven in a state of rejoicing.       Today, we want to look into these verses, and by virtue into Heaven itself. In doing so, we are allowed to witness Heaven's reaction to the reign of the Lord Jesus. I want to show you the great reasons why we see worship, praise and excitement in Heaven as time comes to an end. The words “great voices” translate the Greek words “mega” and “phonay”. We get the word “megaphone” from these words. It refers to shouting and loud speech.  This is a picture of loud, vigorous praise in glory, v. 15-16!

GRACE BIBLE CHURCH GBIBLE.ORG ROBERT MCLAUGHLIN BIBLE MINISTRIES PASTOR ROBERT R. MCLAUGHLIN 04/24/2022 HOW THE HOLY SPIRIT GLORIFIES OUR LORD IN THE TEMPTATIONS OF THE DEVIL --- DOC OF KENOSIS, Part 10. We are still noting Point 4. The Manifestation of Kenosis in our Lord's Evidence Testing. We have been noting that Our Lord passed the first test which was to use the Word of God as His divine solution to the temptations of Satan. The three parts of His evidence testing challenged His relationship to: 1. The Holy Spirit; (MAT 4:1-4. 2. The Word of God; (MAT 4:5-7). 3. The plan of God; (MAT 4:8-10). So, Matthew 4 records the evidence testing of our Lord, which was the first event in His public ministry. He had spent thirty years in preparation for a three-year ministry. Now: At the outset of His public ministry, He was immediately taken into the desert alone to face evidence testing. For in MAT 4:1 we read Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. Our Lord is alone because He is the only member of the human race who is involved in the temptations. Three persons were involved in the testing of Christ: the humanity of Christ, the Holy Spirit, and the devil. The humanity of Christ was residing inside the PPOG. He was therefore filled with the Holy Spirit, as He had been ever since His virgin birth; ISA 9:6-7. ISA 9:6 For a child will be born to us, a son will be given to us; And the government will rest on His shoulders; And His name will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Eternal Father, Prince of Peace. ISA 9:7 There will be no end to the throne of David and over his kingdom, To establish it and to uphold it with justice and righteousness From then on and forevermore. The zeal of the Lord of hosts will accomplish this. Now, what was this passage all about and how does it apply to the temptations of our Lord? First of all, Once the virgin birth took place, it's important to note that our Lord would have a kingdom that would reign forever. How do we know that? In LUK 1:26 Now in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God to a city in Galilee, called Nazareth, LUK 1:27 to a virgin engaged to a man whose name was Joseph, of the descendants of David; and the virgin's name was Mary. LUK 1:28 And coming in, he said to her, "Hail, favored one! The Lord {is} with you." LUK 1:29 But she was greatly troubled at {this} statement, and kept pondering what kind of salutation this might be. LUK 1:30 And the angel said to her, "Do not be afraid, Mary; for you have found favor with God. LUK 1:31 "And behold, you will conceive in your womb, and bear a son, and you shall name Him Jesus. LUK 1:32 "He will be great, and will be called the Son of the Most High; and the Lord God will give Him the throne of His father David; LUK 1:33 and He will reign over the house of Jacob forever; and His kingdom will have no end." We also know that He would have this Kingdom as the God-man; HEB 1:8 But of the Son He says, "Thy throne, O God, is forever and ever, And the righteous scepter is the scepter of His kingdom. Notice back in MAT 4:1, that: Jesus was led by the same enabling power of the Spirit that leads the mature believer in the PPOG; MAT 4:1. MAT 4:1 Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. Now remember: Although the humanity of Christ was led into the desert by the Holy Spirit, the devil would be the one who would administer the testing. Therefore, in MAT 4:2 And after He had fasted forty days and forty nights, He then became hungry. Now, This does not mean that he was not hungry during those 40 days and nights because He had those feelings during that time. The humanity of Christ was hungry every day for all forty days He spent alone in the desert. And it's also important to realize that: The first part of our Lord's evidence testing attacked His relationship with God the Holy Spirit. So that in MAT 4:3, we read And the tempter came and said to Him, "If You are the Son of God [and you are], command that these stones become bread." Now, Three years after His evidence testing, Christ would win His third royal title, which would be awarded to Him upon His ascension and session at the right hand of the Father in heaven = King of kings, Lord of lords; REV 1:6. REV 1:6 and He has made us a kingdom of priests to His God and Father; Now then: We are His Kingdom; He is our King! We are His lords; He is Lord! We are new creatures or a new creation. He is the Head of the body and the New Creation. We are a new spiritual species - those who worship Him, worship in Spirit and doctrine. But, most of all: The term that seems to have taken over for the Church is that we are His Royal Family. Good morning “Royal family!” I don't know how it happened that this term seems to have surfaced to the top but; we are Royal family. We are His New Royal Family. I got all my sisters with me We are family Get up everybody and sing We are family However, as usual, Satan took his usual arrogant approach. I said this past week that: Satan is not only a liar and the father of deception but, he is also deceived himself and, of course, being deceived He doesn't even know it. His deception was based upon the fact that in MAT 4, he used the true doctrine of Christ's royalty as a weapon against our Lord. This was the very doctrine that threatened Satan's arrogant plans. In fact, In a subtle attempt to trip our Lord into defeat, Satan virtually granted Him the victory in advance, without really knowing what he was actually doing. How did Satan virtually grant Christ the victory? Because…. Little did the devil realize that he was also allowing our Lord to reveal to us, how to handle evidence testing. Evidence testing is Satan's cross examination of every witness presented by God in the historical trial of all fallen angels. There are two categories of evidence testing. 1. The relationship to the plan of God Test is illustrated by our Lord Jesus Christ in MAT 4:1-11. 2. The relationship to life test is illustrated by Job. Either category of evidence testing is administered only to the mature believer, for only he is a witness for the Prosecution. Apparently, the spiritual mature believer does not take both tests, and which one he receives is a matter of the sovereignty of God. Inside the PPOG for his life, the humanity of Christ advanced through all stages of spiritual growth, reaching spiritual maturity at an early age. And therefore the issue is this: If the humanity of Christ even sins once during this test, then He cannot go to the cross and die for the sins of the whole world. Therefore, In evidence testing and the angelic conflict, God the Holy Spirit is also the one who leads us to the test. The Holy Spirit will lead us to the test but He will not tempt us. That's why JAM 1:13 says…. JAM 1:13 "Let no one say when he is tempted, "I am being tempted by God"; for God cannot be tempted by evil, and He Himself does not tempt anyone." The humanity of Christ was hungry every day for all forty days He spent alone in the desert. Now, the first part of our Lord's evidence testing attacked His relationship with God the Holy Spirit. The basis for Satan's first attack = his knowledge that the deity of Christ has the power to accomplish any miracle that He desires to as God. Satan knew that the deity of Christ was faithfully sustaining the universe at that very moment, COL 1:17; HEB 1:3. COL 1:17 And He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together. The act of turning stones into bread would have been a small matter for divine omnipotence. So, Satan tempted the Lord to operate independently of the Holy Spirit, who was the Father's provision in the PPOG for sustaining Christ's humanity during His first advent. His first advent always refers to when He came into the world for the first time and He said in HEB 10:5 “But a body Thou hast prepared for Me;” This means that He did not use His own divine attributes independently to benefit, sustain, or glorify Himself = The True Doctrine of Kenosis. The three parts of His evidence testing challenged His relationship to: 1. The Holy Spirit; (MAT 4:1-4. 2. The Word of God; (MAT 4:5-7). 3. The plan of God; (MAT 4:8-10). The first phase of Christ's evidence testing teaches that miracles are not a legitimate solution to evidence testing, just as miracles are never the solution to any category of suffering for blessing. One of the easiest things for God to do is to perform a miracle because it requires no cooperation from human volition. Miracles require only divine sovereignty, whereas evidence testing spotlights human positive volition in Jesus Christ during the first incarnation as He remained inside the PPOG. This means that it is easier for God to perform a miracle than it is for God to heal a marriage. Open the Red Sea = no difficulty at all for God. Solving problems in marriage or relationships = much more difficult for God because it requires human consent or volition. And God cannot violate the free will of man. He cannot interfere with man's decisions and make him choose. Therefore,…… He did not sin, though His temptations and His pressures were a million times greater than any we would ever face. Our Lord's temptations were real and far greater than anything we could ever face. Those who reside in the predesigned plan do not need miracles. Especially in light of the fact that MAT 24:24 says "For false Christs and false prophets will arise and will show great signs and wonders, Or in: 2TH 2:9 The false prophet is the one whose coming is in accord with the activity of Satan, with all power and signs and false wonders. In REV 13:13 He [the false prophet] performs great signs, so that he even makes fire come down out of heaven to the earth in the presence of men. Even demons know that their job is to deceive believers by using miracles signs and wonders; REV 6:14. REV 16:14 for they are spirits of demons, performing signs, which go out to the kings of the whole world, Therefore, our Lord refused this temptation. Though it was not written as of yet in the human realm, the Bible is the mind of Christ and therefore it was available to the deity of Christ who knows all things. David described the omniscience of the Lord in a fantastic way in PSA 139, and our Lord knew this. Notice what He was thinking during His time of fasting. This is an amazing Psalm that we will deal with verse by verse as a principle of the Christian Soldier that will be coming up. However, for now, let's look at some of the thoughts our Lord could have had during His temptations. Now, I have decided to illustrate to you a Psalm of comfort that our Lord could have thought during the temptations in MAT 4. Again, you must make some application and compare scripture with scripture. For example, let me give you some thoughts concerning what I am about to read and what I am about to say. I'm going to give it to you in the order that follows: First of all: 1. The devil is trying to get our Lord to use His deity in MAT 4:1-10. 2. The Bible is the mind of Christ; 1CO 2:16. Therefore, 3. Our Lord is allowed to apply any passages He may seem fit that applies to the situation He is facing with God the Holy Spirit. Because of that: 4. We can have confidence that the Lord would use the PSD's, especially the faith-rest drill, as He relied on the ministry of God the Holy Spirit to handle the temptations of the devil; 1PE 2:21-25. 5. The application to us is that, like our Lord, these things have been written for our examples; ROM 15:4; 1CO 10:11. With those five principles I just gave you, I would like to illustrate how our Lord would apply Old Testament passages that fit into those principles. The one I have chosen is one that reveals the deity of Christ which He was being tempted to use by the devil. This is why I have been telling you that: Our Lord's temptations were unique because no other member of the human race would ever be tempted to use their deity, because no one possesses deity but our Lord. So, as we read this psalm, I want you to think of the temptations that the Lord had but refused to use at this time. PSA 139:1 (For the choir director. A Psalm of David.) O Lord, Thou hast searched me and known {me.} This refers to the omniscience of our Lord. PSA 139:2 Thou dost know when I sit down and when I rise up; [omnipresence] Thou dost understand my thought from afar. [omniscience] PSA 139:3 Thou dost scrutinize my path and my lying down, And art intimately acquainted with all my ways. This is why He is Just and Righteous. PSA 139:4 Even before there is a word on my tongue, Behold, O Lord, Thou dost know it all. = omniscience again. PSA 139:5 Thou hast enclosed me behind and before, And laid Thy hand upon me. [omnipotence] Divine protection is guaranteed because He is veracity which is truth and he is also immutable and will not change, and he promised us salvation. The point is that: What the devil is attacking is the essence of God, which is found in this passage that more than likely our Lord used at times during those 40 days of fasting. The real meaning of fasting is to take the normal time you would for logistics and replace it with studying and praying and meditating on the Word of God. PSA 139:6 {Such} knowledge is too wonderful for me; It is {too} high, I cannot attain to it. [omniscience] PSA 139:7 Where can I go from Thy Spirit? Or where can I flee from Thy presence? [omnipresence] PSA 139:8 If I ascend to heaven, Thou art there; If I make my bed in Sheol, behold, Thou art there. PSA 139:9 If I take the wings of the dawn, If I dwell in the remotest part of the sea, PSA 139:10 Even there Thy hand will lead me, And Thy right hand will lay hold of me. [omnipotence] PSA 139:11 If I say, "Surely the darkness will overwhelm me, And the light around me will be night," PSA 139:12 Even the darkness is not dark to Thee, And the night is as bright as the day. Darkness and light are alike {to Thee.} He is eternal in nature for as a part of the essence of God, He is eternal life. PSA 139:13 For Thou didst form my inward parts; Thou didst weave me in my mother's womb. PSA 139:14 I will give thanks to Thee, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Wonderful are Thy works, And my soul knows it very well. Why? Because in 1JO 4:8b God is love. PSA 139:15 My frame was not hidden from Thee, When I was made in secret, and skillfully wrought in the depths of the earth. PSA 139:16 Thine eyes have seen my unformed substance; And in Thy book they were all written, The days that were ordained {for me}, When as yet there was not one of them. This is the sovereignty of God willing and performing whatever He desires and knowing about us before were even created. And also: Being Just and Righteous, which makes up the holiness of God is also found in this passage. PSA 139:17 How precious also are Thy thoughts to me, O God! How vast is the sum of them! This is the love of God again with the immutability of divine essence of who God is. PSA 139:18 If I should count them, they would outnumber the sand. When I awake, I am still with Thee. Notice that in all of those verses something was being mentioned concerning the essence of God that was being challenged by the devil to our Lord. This is what makes this psalm so fantastic. As that passage spoke of the song that David wrote, there were also many applications our Lord could make as the God-man from His humanity. And so, there are some principles in this passage that I must comment about because they do apply to our Doctrine of Kenosis. For example; God's knowledge is not based upon time. It is not related to or limited by time. We usually can go back and evaluate things that have happened in the past, see our failures and hopefully, learn from them. But none of us knows exactly what will happen tomorrow. As James said: JAM 4:14 Yet you do not know what your life will be like tomorrow. You are {just} a vapor that appears for a little while and then vanishes away. To the rich man, who instead of investing in the things of God was building bigger houses, driving new vehicles every tear, and hoards his money: LUK 12:20 "But God said to him, 'You fool! This {very} night your soul is required of you; and {now} who will own what you have prepared?' LUK 12:21 "So is the man who lays up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God." We are slaves to time! We are limited by time! However, God is not, and His knowledge is superimposed over time, including when He was being tempted by the devil in MAT 4. We continue to learn as long as we live on this earth. God has never had to learn a thing! Jesus was God, is God, and will be God, forever. And…… As God, He has always known everything including every thought, every motive, every event, and every action of every person who would ever live. And He knew this billions and billions of years before they existed. He knows the end from the beginning, according to ISA 46:6-11. ISA 46:8 "Remember this, and be assured; Recall it to mind, you transgressors. ISA 46:9 "Remember the former things long past, For I am God, and there is no other; {I am} God, and there is no one like Me, ISA 46:10 Declaring the end from the beginning And from ancient times things which have not been done, Saying, 'My purpose will be established, And I will accomplish all My good pleasure' ISA 46:11 Calling a bird of prey from the east, The man of My purpose from a far country. Truly I have spoken; truly I will bring it to pass. I have planned {it, surely} I will do it. This is why when a believer who understands the omniscience of our Lord it is a very comforting attribute to understand! Very comforting when you think about our Lord possessing omniscience but refusing to use it when He was tempted by the devil. And why did He refuse it? Because in HEB 12:3, you and I were the joy that was set before Him, and He loved us, says the Doctrine of Kenosis. Because our Lord has omniscience, it means that there is nothing in your life that could ever happen that God didn't know about billions and billions of years ago. And…… Knowing about it, and being perfect, He provided a perfect provision and perfect solution for every problem we would ever face! Because He is omniscient, He knows what is best for those who trust Him! This means that….. Although there are times that we may not understand the adversities and the sufferings which come into our lives, yet in the end, we will discover that God knew exactly what we needed and what was best for us. As an example of this principle; TLJC said to Peter in JOH 13:7 "What I'm doing you do not realize now, but you shall understand later on" No one in the human race can ever really understand in depth the principle of omniscience, we can only touch the surface! Again, this is a LUK 6:40 principle: LUK 6:40 "A pupil is not above his teacher; but everyone, after he has been fully trained, will be like his teacher. Through learning from Him about how to handle temptations from Satan and his kingdom of darkness, we can become just like him right not. As He is so are we in this present world says the apostle John in 1JO 3:1-2. 1JO 3:1 See how great a love the Father has bestowed upon us, that we should be called children of God; and {such} we are. For this reason the world does not know us, because it did not know Him. 1JO 3:2 Beloved, now [positionally] we are children of God, and it has not appeared as yet what we shall be. We know that, when He appears [Rapture], we shall be like Him, because we shall see Him just as He is. That is, in His perfect resurrected form because as soon as we sin, we step out of the PPOG. Inside the predesigned plan of God is purity; Titus 1:15. As long as one remains inside the predesigned plan, the purity factor remains in status quo. But as I have mentioned, our Lord's temptations were unique and real and far greater than anything we could ever face. For example, After forty days of no food, He was tempted to turn stones into bread. When's the last time, someone tempted you to turn a stone into a piece of bread? Not in this life! Unless you may be in a “nut house” or if I were to be a little bit more gentle and politically correct, maybe you have been in a “mentally challenged facility” for the under privileged….. No matter what our Lord's temptations were unique and real and far greater than anything we could ever face; HEB 4:15. If our Lord used His deity, He would have had to act independently of the Father's plan. Those who reside in the predesigned plan do not need miracles. Therefore, He refused this temptation. The sinlessness of Adam before the Fall differs from the sinlessness of Christ during the First Advent. The first Adam was capable of being tempted and capable of yielding to temptation. But….. Our Lord, the last Adam, was able not to sin because He remained inside the PPOG and He was not able to sin because He is deity or God; HAB 1:13. HAB 1:13 Your eyes are too pure to approve evil, and You cannot even look upon sin or wickedness. Because He as the last Adam and he went to the cross and died for our sins, we have a new creation, the only spiritual creation, 2CO 5:17, GAL 6:15. GAL 6:15 For neither is circumcision anything, nor uncircumcision, but a new creation. It is created by the baptism of the Holy Spirit, who enters each one into union with Christ. In fact, The “Last Adam” and the “new creation” is a synonym for the Royal Family. So, Jesus Christ was born without an old sin nature. Therefore, He could not be tempted from the inside. All our Lord's temptations were real, but they came from Satan himself outwardly and not from within our Lord, as it does with us; ROM 7:17-18. ROM 7:17 So now, no longer am I the one doing it, but sin which indwells me. ROM 7:18 For I know that nothing good dwells in me, that is, in my flesh; for the wishing is present in me, but the doing of the good {is} not. The human nature of Christ was temptable, but in the predesigned plan, His purity was always intact. For thirty-three years inside the predesigned plan of God for the humanity of Christ, our Lord manufactured the highest virtue ever to exist in a human being. Our Lord's temptations to His humanity not only came from outside, but He was tempted by Satan personally, MAT 4. The divine nature of Christ was not temptable because immutability demands impeccability. God cannot change. Even if we are faithless, He does not change; 2TI 2:13 If we are faithless, He remains faithful; for He cannot deny Himself. In Titus 1:2, we have the confidence of eternal life, from a God, who cannot lie. And here is the motivation that comes from having the God that we do. HEB 6:18 in order that by two unchangeable things, in which it is impossible for God to lie, we may have strong encouragement, we who have fled for refuge in laying hold of the hope set before us. So, the divine nature of Christ was not temptable because immutability demands impeccability. Also, our Lord as God is sovereign. Sovereignty cannot choose to sin. He cannot do anything that would violate His nature. The sovereignty of God cannot change His mind about sin. The perfect righteousness of God cannot be corrupted by sin. The justice of God is cannot be unfair. Therefore, the deity of Christ cannot even look upon sin; HAB 1:13. This is how the temptations of Christ and who He is, is brought out in MAT 4 and also applies to our Doctrine of Kenosis. There are so many principles that theologians have missed concerning kenosis. Why? Because it means such things as: The humanity of Christ was temptable and peccable, but He remained in the purity of the predesigned plan. He had human volition but used His volition within the love complex, an absolute place of virtue. JOH 15:10 "If you keep My commandments, you will abide in My love; just as I have kept My Father's commandments, and abide in His love. Now, things are not always what they appear to be and the fact that Jesus Christ is exceedingly hungry is not simply dieting. Dieting is not fasting. Fasting means to spend the time that ordinarily would be used for normal functions in life in contemplating doctrine and prayer. In other words, the Bible study and prayer is a part of the true concept of fasting. So, The humanity of Christ spent this time ordinarily devoted to eating and normal surviving living in prayer and meditating on the Word. He had periods of prayer and Bible study, minus food, with the factors found in the Word of God providing the real meaning of fasting. Now, in verses 3-11 we have five principles concerning the temptations. 1. The temptation dealt with the problem of relationship with the indwelling Holy Spirit. 2. The temptation dealt with the problem of Jesus being tempted to operate independently of the indwelling Holy Spirit. 3. The temptation was designed by Satan to force Christ to violate the Kenosis principle, i.e., to force Christ into relying upon His omnipotence rather than on the Holy Spirit. 4. The temptation was unique because it involved the power to convert stones into bread. 5. The principle of this temptation is one that the believer faces every day which is being tempted to rely upon his old sin nature rather than the power of the Holy Spirit. This is why we are tempted to substitute human good for divine good. That is the application and we now get ready for one of the most popular passages in the Bible. MAT 4:4 But He answered and said, "It is written, 'Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God.'" And that's a good place to stop and even a better place to begin next time!

GRACE BIBLE CHURCH GBIBLE.ORG ROBERT MCLAUGHLIN BIBLE MINISTRIES PASTOR ROBERT R. MCLAUGHLIN 04/22/2022 Now, we have been noting the evidence testing of our Lord and how: He passed the first test which was to use the Word of God as His divine solution to the temptations of Satan. We begin with the fact that: The humanity of Jesus Christ underwent evidence testing at the beginning of His three-year earthly ministry. The three parts of His evidence testing challenged His relationship to: 1. The Holy Spirit; (MAT 4:1-4. 2. The Word of God; (MAT 4:5-7). 3. The plan of God; (MAT 4:8-10). So, To stay in context, let's look at the evidence testing of the humanity of our Lord Jesus Christ at spiritual maturity. First of all: Inside the PPOG, the humanity of Christ advanced through all stages of spiritual growth, reaching maturity at an early age; LUK 2:40, LUK 2:52. Matthew 4 records the evidence testing of our Lord, which was the first event in His public ministry. He had spent thirty years in preparation for a three-year ministry. And…. An individual who lives a prepared life, is also prepared even to die at any time. The point is that: If one is told about an event beforehand, they can be adequately prepare even to die, if necessary. You can let things go or pass at certain times, but don't forget what they were, why they happened, and other consequences, that may be involved so that you don't repeat the same mistakes. Yes, it's true that we must forgive others, but many times we simply cannot forget. Our Lord was at the threshold of executing the plan of the Father which would climax in His death, burial, resurrection, ascension, and session. The context in Matthew describes the shift of Christ's ministry from private to public. Now: At the outset of His public ministry, He was immediately taken into the desert, alone, to face evidence testing. For in MAT 4:1 we read Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. A lesson for the believer can be found in the first word of MAT 4:1. "Then" indicates that evidence testing was the first item on the agenda for Christ's public ministry. And this reveals to us that: The Christian life begins with growth, not with service. And……. The quality of Christian service improves as the believer accelerates his spiritual growth through each increment of suffering for blessing. Three persons were involved in the testing of Christ: the humanity of Christ, the Holy Spirit, and the devil. The humanity of Christ was residing inside the PPOG. He was therefore filled with the Holy Spirit, as He had been ever since His virgin birth. Notice in MAT 4:1, that Jesus was led by the same enabling power of the Spirit that leads the mature believer in the PPOG. MAT 4:1 Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. Now remember: There are three parties involved in our Lord's temptations: Our Lord, God the Holy Spirit, and the devil. This means that the third-party present in this temptation was the defense attorney of the appeal trial, Satan himself. Although the humanity of Christ was led into the desert by the Holy Spirit, the devil would be the one who would administer the testing. Intense physical duress was part of the circumstances for Christ's evidence testing as He had been in the desert and went without food for forty days. Therefore, in MAT 4:2 And after He had fasted forty days and forty nights, He then became hungry. Now, This does not mean that he was not hungry during those 40 days and nights because He had those feelings during that time. The humanity of Christ was hungry every day for all forty days He spent alone in the desert. He was famished and probably already was suffering sharp, constant physical pain when evidence testing began. The first part of our Lord's evidence testing attacked His relationship with God the Holy Spirit. MAT 4:3 And the tempter came and said to Him, "If You are the Son of God [and you are], command that these stones become bread." Now, Satan knows the Bible! Satan knows theology. Although he lives to exalt himself and oppose God, Satan knows from observation a great deal of true doctrine; GEN 3:1; JAM 1:22. So….., He approached Jesus with a true point of doctrine only to suggest a false conclusion. Christ is the Son of God = that is accurate information. "Son of God" is our Lord's first royal title as divine royalty; His first royal family as a member of the Trinity. At the time Satan was speaking, Christ held two royal titles. His first royal title, “Son of God” is eternal in nature; He has always been God. His second title, "Son of David," was acquired at the moment of His virgin birth, His entrance into the human dynasty of King David. Now, Three years after His evidence testing, Christ would win His third royal title, which would be awarded to Him upon His ascension and session at the right hand of the Father in heaven = King of kings, Lord of lords; REV 1:6. REV 1:6 and He has made us a kingdom of priests to His God and Father; We are His Kingdom! We are His kings. We are His lords. We are His new Royal Family. However, as usual, Satan took his usual arrogant approach. Do you know that Satan is not only a liar and the father of deception but, he is also deceived himself and, of course, being deceived He doesn't even know it. He used the true doctrine of Christ's royalty as a weapon against our Lord. This was the very doctrine that threatened Satan's arrogant plans. In fact, Satan would be strategically and tactically defeated as part of the doctrine of Christ's royalty, especially how it relates to the humanity of Christ in hypostatic union. So…….. In a subtle attempt to trip our Lord into defeat, Satan virtually granted Him the victory in advance, without really knowing what he was actually doing. How did Satan virtually grant Christ the victory? Because…. Little did the devil realize that he was also allowing our Lord to reveal to us, how to handle evidence testing. Evidence testing is Satan's cross examination of every witness presented by God in the historical trial of all fallen angels. Inside the PPOG for his life, the humanity of Christ advanced through all stages of spiritual growth, reaching spiritual maturity at an early age. And therefore, He was immediately taken into the desert, alone, to face evidence testing. The issue is this: If the humanity of Christ even sins once during this test then He cannot go to the cross and die for the sins of the whole world. Therefore, He will not only be tempted like we are but He will be tempted far beyond anyone of us; HEB 4:15. Note that….. In evidence testing and the angelic conflict, God the Holy Spirit is also the one who leads us to the test. The Holy Spirit will lead us to the test but He will not tempt us. That's why JAM 1:13 "Let no one say when he is tempted, "I am being tempted by God"; for God cannot be tempted by evil, and He Himself does not tempt anyone." The humanity of Christ was hungry every day for all forty days He spent alone in the desert. Now, the first part of our Lord's evidence testing attacked His relationship with God the Holy Spirit. So in MAT 4:3 And the tempter came and said to Him, "If You are the Son of God [and I know you are], command that these stones become bread." As I said, Satan knows the Bible! Satan knows theology. Christ is the Son of God, that's accurate information. So, Satan took his usual arrogant approach. He is such an arrogant pompous ass of a liar that he used the true doctrine of Christ's royalty as a weapon against our Lord. And this was the very doctrine that threatened Satan's arrogant plans. The basis for Satan's first attack = his knowledge that the deity of Christ has the power to accomplish any miracle that He desires to as God. Satan knew that the deity of Christ was faithfully sustaining the universe at that very moment, COL 1:17; HEB 1:3. COL 1:17 And He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together. HEB 1:3 “He upholds all things by the word of His power.” The act of turning stones into bread would have been a small matter for divine omnipotence. So, This first part of our Lord's evidence testing was an attempt by Satan to persuade Jesus Christ as the God-man to exercise His deity contrary to the Father's plan. Satan tempted the Lord to operate independently of the Holy Spirit, who was the Father's provision in the PPOG for sustaining Christ's humanity during His first advent. His first advent always refers to when He came into the world for the first time and He said in HEB 10:5 “But a body Thou hast prepared for Me;” To fulfill the mission that He voluntarily accepted from God the Father in eternity past, our Lord had to rely on the system of provisions that the Father provided for Him by means of the Holy Spirit. This means that He did not use His own divine attributes independently to benefit, sustain, or glorify Himself = The True Doctrine of Kenosis. All Satan wanted Jesus Christ to do was to use His deity independently of the Father's plan to show that in His humanity our Lord would not depend on the Father's provision but on His own ability to provide for Himself. Furthermore, Our Lord was preparing the way for the PPOG and the Church-age believer's dependence on the power of God. Turn stones into bread? Omnipotence could have turned the whole mountain into bread. However, This would have compromised the function of His humanity under the sustaining ministry of the Holy Spirit. The three parts of His evidence testing challenged His relationship to: 1. The Holy Spirit; (MAT 4:1-4. 2. The Word of God; (MAT 4:5-7). 3. The plan of God; (MAT 4:8-10). The first phase of Christ's evidence testing teaches that miracles are not a legitimate solution to evidence testing, just as miracles are never the solution to any category of suffering for blessing. One of the easiest things for God to do is to perform a miracle because it requires no cooperation from human volition. Dramatic displays of supernatural power do not fulfill the purpose of evidence testing. Miracles require only divine sovereignty, whereas evidence testing spotlights human positive volition in Jesus Christ during the first incarnation as He remained inside the PPOG. This means that it is easier for God to perform a miracle than it is for God to heal a marriage. Open the Red Sea = no difficulty at all for God. Solving problems in marriage or relationships = much more difficult for God because it requires human consent or volition. And God cannot violate the free will of man. He cannot interfere with man's decisions and make him choose. Therefore,…… He did not sin, though His temptations and His pressures were a million times greater than any we would ever face. Though He had no old sin nature inside to tempt Him, Satan himself tempted Him personally, something Satan did only with Adam and Eve. Our Lord's temptations were real and far greater than anything we could ever face. Those who reside in the predesigned plan do not need miracles. Especially in light of the fact that MAT 24:24 says "For false Christs and false prophets will arise and will show great signs and wonders, Or in: 2TH 2:9 The false prophet is the one whose coming is in accord with the activity of Satan, with all power and signs and false wonders. In REV 13:13 He [the false prophet] performs great signs, so that he even makes fire come down out of heaven to the earth in the presence of men. Even demons know that their job is to deceive believers by using miracles signs and wonders; REV 6:14. REV 16:14 for they are spirits of demons, performing signs, which go out to the kings of the whole world, Therefore, our Lord refused this temptation. Though it was not written as of yet in the human realm, the Bible is the mind of Christ and therefore it was available to the deity of Christ who knows all things. David described the omniscience of the Lord in a fantastic way in PSA 139, and our Lord knew this. Notice what He was thinking during His time of fasting. This is an amazing Psalm that we will deal with verse by verse as a principle of the Christian Soldier that will be coming up. However, for now let's look at some of the thoughts our Lord had during His temptations. PSA 139:1 (For the choir director. A Psalm of David.) O Lord, Thou hast searched me and known {me.} PSA 139:2 Thou dost know when I sit down and when I rise up; Thou dost understand my thought from afar. PSA 139:3 Thou dost scrutinize my path and my lying down, And art intimately acquainted with all my ways. PSA 139:4 Even before there is a word on my tongue, Behold, O Lord, Thou dost know it all. PSA 139:5 Thou hast enclosed me behind and before, And laid Thy hand upon me. PSA 139:6 {Such} knowledge is too wonderful for me; It is {too} high, I cannot attain to it. PSA 139:7 Where can I go from Thy Spirit? Or where can I flee from Thy presence? PSA 139:8 If I ascend to heaven, Thou art there; If I make my bed in Sheol, behold, Thou art there. PSA 139:9 If I take the wings of the dawn, If I dwell in the remotest part of the sea, PSA 139:10 Even there Thy hand will lead me, And Thy right hand will lay hold of me. PSA 139:11 If I say, "Surely the darkness will overwhelm me, And the light around me will be night," PSA 139:12 Even the darkness is not dark to Thee, And the night is as bright as the day. Darkness and light are alike {to Thee.} PSA 139:13 For Thou didst form my inward parts; Thou didst weave me in my mother's womb. PSA 139:14 I will give thanks to Thee, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Wonderful are Thy works, And my soul knows it very well. PSA 139:15 My frame was not hidden from Thee, When I was made in secret, and skillfully wrought in the depths of the earth. PSA 139:16 Thine eyes have seen my unformed substance; And in Thy book they were all written, The days that were ordained {for me}, When as yet there was not one of them. PSA 139:17 How precious also are Thy thoughts to me, O God! How vast is the sum of them! PSA 139:18 If I should count them, they would outnumber the sand. When I awake, I am still with Thee. Now As that passage spoke of the song that David wrote, there were also many applications our Lord could make as the God-man from His humanity. And there are some principles in this passage that I must comment about because they do apply to our Doctrine of Kenosis. For example; God's knowledge is not based upon time. It is not related to or limited by time. We usually can go back and evaluate things that have happened in the past, see our failures and hopefully, learn from them. We can even speculate about the future and even make some pretty accurate guesses. But none of us knows exactly what will happen tomorrow. As James said: JAM 4:13 Come now, you who say, "Today or tomorrow, we shall go to such and such a city, and spend a year there and engage in business and make a profit." JAM 4:14 Yet you do not know what your life will be like tomorrow. You are {just} a vapor that appears for a little while and then vanishes away. JAM 4:15 Instead, {you ought} to say, "If the Lord wills, we shall live and also do this or that." Do you remember what our Lord said in LUK 12:19 'And I will say to my soul, "Soul, you have many goods laid up for many years {to come;} take your ease, eat, drink {and} be merry."' LUK 12:20 "But God said to him, 'You fool! This {very} night your soul is required of you; and {now} who will own what you have prepared?' LUK 12:21 "So is the man who lays up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God." We are slaves to time! We are limited by time! However, God is not, and His knowledge is superimposed over time, including when He was being tempted by the devil in MAT 4. We continue to learn as long as we live on this earth. God has never had to learn a thing! And…. Jesus was God, and is God and will be God forever. And…… As God, He has always known everything including every thought, every motive, every event, and every action of every person who would ever live. And He knew this billions and billions of years before they existed. He knows the end from the beginning, according to ISA 46:6-11. ISA 46:8 "Remember this, and be assured; Recall it to mind, you transgressors. ISA 46:9 "Remember the former things long past, For I am God, and there is no other; {I am} God, and there is no one like Me, ISA 46:10 Declaring the end from the beginning And from ancient times things which have not been done, Saying, 'My purpose will be established, And I will accomplish all My good pleasure' ISA 46:11 Calling a bird of prey from the east, The man of My purpose from a far country. Truly I have spoken; truly I will bring it to pass. I have planned {it, surely} I will do it. Notice verse 8 again, it says: Remember this and be assured, recall it to mind you transgressors, and be assured, or show yourselves men, which means to have assurance and confidence. This is why when a believer who understands the omniscience of our Lord it is a very comforting attribute to understand! Very comforting when you think about our Lord possessing omniscience but refusing to use it when He was tempted by the devil. And why did He refuse it? Because in HEB 12:3, you and I were the joy that was set before Him, and He loved us, says the Doctrine of Kenosis. Because our Lord has omniscience, it means that there is nothing in your life that could ever happen that God didn't know about billions and billions of years ago. And…… Knowing about it, and being perfect, He provided a perfect provision and perfect solution for every problem we would ever face! Our Lord shared this principle with His disciples when He said in MAT 10:29-30; MAT 10:29 "Are not two sparrows sold for a cent? And {yet} not one of them will fall to the ground apart from your Father. MAT 10:30 "But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. “Are not two sparrows sold for a cent? And, yet not one of them will fall to the ground apart from your father's knowledge,” verse 30 "but the very hairs of your head are numbered." Now, because He is omniscient, He knows what is best for those who trust Him! This means that….. Although there are times that we may not understand the adversities and the sufferings which come into our lives, yet in the end, we will discover that God knew exactly what we needed and what was best for us. As an example of this principle; TLJC said to Peter in JOH 13:7 "What I'm doing you do not realize now, but you shall understand later on" No one in the human race can ever really understand in depth the principle of omniscience, we can only touch the surface! As the Apostle Paul said in Rom 11:33; ROM 11:33 “Oh, the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are His judgments and unfathomable are His ways.” However, it is God's intention that every believer come to understand everything in the Bible, and that is "in time," right now. Anything which God did not intend for us to know was not included in the canon of scripture. As DEU 29:29 “The secret things belong to the Lord our God, but the things revealed belong to us and our children forever.” Certainly, you will not understand the doctrinal content of the Bible all at once, for knowledge is built on knowledge, but if you stay with it long enough it can be done! And it should be done! Every book in the Bible was written by a human author who understood what he was recording. Therefore, we can understand what we desire to know! It is true that the Holy Spirit is our teacher but that is only as much as we submit to His ministry. However, God gave us a system to understand the things of God through faith, but we must choose to believe it or not. Knowing this divine attribute of omniscience, should increases your personal love for God as all the divine attributes should all do. So, there are things written in the Bible such as REV 13:11 “And I saw another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spoke as a dragon.” REV 13:12 “And he exercises all the authority of the first beast in his presence. And he makes the earth and those who dwell in it to worship the first beast, whose fatal wound was healed.” REV 13:13 “And he performs great signs, so that he even makes fire come down out of heaven to the earth in the presence of men.” REV 13:14 “And he deceives those who dwell on the earth because of the signs which it was given him to perform in the presence of the beast, telling those who dwell on the earth to make an image to the beast who had the wound of the sword and has come to life.” Now….. Our Lord didn't study this passage, but we know now it was in His mind as the Son of God and available to Him if He choose, which is another reason why He didn't. The first Adam was temptable and peccable, i.e., capable of being tempted and capable of yielding to temptation. But our Lord, the last Adam, was able not to sin and as God He was not able to sin. All the way from the virgin birth to the cross, resurrection, ascension and session, the humanity of our Lord functioned in the original predesigned plan, the place of virtue, His very own palace. And…. You and I also can also have our very own palace or a mansion in this life called the PPOG or we can live in panic palace which is in the dungeon of the cosmic system. This is why our Lord said in JOH 14:1 "Let not your heart be troubled; believe in God, believe also in Me. Believe God and believe Me, our Lord was saying that in JOH 14:2 "In My Father's house are many dwelling places; if it were not so, I would have told you; for I go to prepare a place for you. JOH 14:3 "And if I go and prepare a place for you [hopefully our very own], I will come again, and receive you to Myself; that where I am, {there} you may be also. That is with Him in heaven forever. JOH 14:4 "And you know the way where I am going." Again, this is a LUK 6:40 principle: LUK 6:40 "A pupil is not above his teacher; but everyone, after he has been fully trained, will be like his teacher. Through learning from Him about how to handle temptations from Satan and his kingdom of darkness, we can become just like him right not. As He is so are we in this present world says the apostle John in 1JO 3:1-2. 1JO 3:1 See how great a love the Father has bestowed upon us, that we should be called children of God; and {such} we are. For this reason the world does not know us, because it did not know Him. 1JO 3:2 Beloved, now [positionally] we are children of God, and it has not appeared as yet what we shall be. We know that, when He appears [Rapture], we shall be like Him, because we shall see Him just as He is. That is, in His perfect resurrected form because as soon as we sin, we step out of the PPOG. Inside the predesigned plan of God is purity; Titus 1:15. As long as one remains inside the predesigned plan, the purity factor remains in status quo. But as I have mentioned, our Lord's temptations were unique and real and far greater than anything we could ever face. For example, After forty days of no food, He was tempted to turn stones into bread. When's the last time, someone tempted you to turn a stone into a piece of bread? Not in this life! Unless you may be in a “nut house” or if I were to be a little bit more gentle and politically correct, maybe you have been in a “mentally challenged facility” for the under privileged….. No matter what our Lord's temptations were unique and real and far greater than anything we could ever face; HEB 4:15. If our Lord used His deity, He would have had to act independently of the Father's plan. Those who reside in the predesigned plan do not need miracles. Therefore, He refused this temptation. The sinlessness of Adam before the Fall differs from the sinlessness of Christ during the First Advent. The first Adam was temptable and peccable, i.e., capable of being tempted and capable of yielding to temptation. But….. Our Lord, the last Adam, was able not to sin because He remained inside the PPOG and He was not able to sin because He is deity or God; HAB 1:13. HAB 1:13 Your eyes are too pure to approve evil, and You cannot even look upon sin or wickedness. Because He as the last Adam and he went to the cross and died for our sins, we have a new creation, the only spiritual creation, 2CO 5:17, GAL 6:15. GAL 6:15 For neither is circumcision anything, nor uncircumcision, but a new creation. It is created by the baptism of the Holy Spirit, who enters each one into union with Christ. In fact, The “Last Adam” and the “new creation” is a synonym for the Royal Family. So, Jesus Christ was born without an old sin nature. Therefore, He could not be tempted from the inside. All our Lord's temptations were real, but they came from Satan himself outwardly and not from within our Lord, as it does with us; ROM 7:17-18. ROM 7:17 So now, no longer am I the one doing it, but sin which indwells me. ROM 7:18 For I know that nothing good dwells in me, that is, in my flesh; for the wishing is present in me, but the doing of the good {is} not. The human nature of Christ was temptable, but in the predesigned plan, His purity was always intact. For thirty-three years inside the predesigned plan, our Lord manufactured the highest virtue ever to exist in a human being. Our Lord's temptations to His humanity not only came from outside, but He was tempted by Satan personally, MAT 4. The divine nature of Christ was not temptable because immutability demands impeccability. God cannot change. Even if we are faithless, He does not change; 2TI 2:13 If we are faithless, He remains faithful; for He cannot deny Himself. In Titus 1:2, we have the confidence of eternal life, from a God, who cannot lie. And here is the motivation that comes from having the God that we do. HEB 6:18 in order that by two unchangeable things, in which it is impossible for God to lie, we may have strong encouragement, we who have fled for refuge in laying hold of the hope set before us. So, the divine nature of Christ was not temptable because immutability demands impeccability. Also, our Lord as God is sovereign. Sovereignty cannot choose to sin. He cannot do anything that would violate His nature. The sovereignty of God cannot change His mind about sin. The perfect righteousness of God cannot be corrupted by sin. The justice of God is cannot be unfair. Therefore, the deity of Christ cannot even look upon sin; HAB 1:13. This is how the temptations of Christ and who He is, is brought out in MAT 4 and also applies to our Doctrine of Kenosis. There are so many principles that theologians have missed concerning kenosis. Why? Because it means such things as: The humanity of Christ was temptable and peccable, but He remained in the purity of the predesigned plan. He had human volition but used His volition within the love complex, an absolute place of virtue. JOH 15:10 "If you keep My commandments, you will abide in My love; just as I have kept My Father's commandments, and abide in His love. Now, things are not always what they appear to be and the fact that Jesus Christ is exceedingly hungry is not simply dieting. Dieting is not fasting. Fasting means to spend the time that ordinarily would be used for normal functions in life in contemplating doctrine and prayer. In other words, the Bible study and prayer is a part of the true concept of fasting.

Restoration for the Saints (5) (Audio) David Eells - 2/27/22   The Spiritual City of God Restored Vision given to Cheri Watson - 07/06/05(David's notes in red) I had a vision of a castle, with a city surrounding it, suspended just above a mountain in a layer of clouds. The mountain and the city were enshrouded/surrounded by darkness (the mountain and city were black in color in the vision...but it felt more like a presence than a color). I had the feeling that the city would soon touch down onto the mountain...its resting place. (The city is the Bride as John was told in Revelation and the head of the city is the David Man-child company. The city is shrouded in darkness because it is not yet come down to be revealed. Rev. 3:12 He that overcometh, I will make him a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go out thence no more: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, the new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God, and mine own new name.) (This vision was fulfilled in Jesus' day before God's spiritual city was destroyed and the people taken captive to Babylonish religion and now it is about to be restored as promised. This city and mountain are "heavenly", not physical, for they cannot "be touched". (Heb.12:18} For ye are not come unto [a mount] that might be touched, and that burned with fire, and unto blackness, and darkness, and tempest, (19) and the sound of a trumpet, and the voice of words; which [voice] they that heard entreated that no word more should be spoken unto them; (20) for they could not endure that which was enjoined, If even a beast touch the mountain, it shall be stoned; (21) and so fearful was the appearance, [that] Moses said, I exceedingly fear and quake: (22) but ye are come unto mount Zion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to innumerable hosts of angels, (23) to the general assembly and church of the firstborn who are enrolled in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect, As in Jesus' day spiritual Zion was the firstborn church, meaning "called out ones", so in our day will God call out of Babylon a firstborn. "The things that have been are the things that shall be". The coming "castle" of David's dominion, which is Christ in the body of his "firstborn", or first-fruits, will soon be established in God's capitol city on the mountain representing His kingdom on earth.  As in Jesus' day, it will be shrouded in darkness to the world and seen by few of God's people who have only earthly eyes to see. This is a place of safety from the invading beast kingdom. (Eze.34:22) therefore will I save my flock, and they shall no more be a prey; and I will judge between sheep and sheep. (23) And I will set up one (corporate) shepherd (the Man-child) over them, and he shall feed them, even my servant David; he shall feed them, and he shall be their shepherd. (24) And I, Jehovah, will be their God, and my servant David prince among them; I, Jehovah, have spoken it.  (25) And I will make with them a covenant of peace, and will cause evil beasts to cease out of the land; and they shall dwell securely in the wilderness (tribulation), and sleep in the woods. (26) And I will make them and the places round about my hill (of Zion) a blessing; and I will cause the shower to come down in its season; there shall be showers of blessing. (27) And the tree of the field (God's people) shall yield its fruit, and the earth shall yield its increase, and they shall be secure in their land; and they shall know that I am Jehovah, when I have broken the bars of their yoke (free from bondage to the flesh), and have delivered them out of the hand of those that made bondmen of them (their carnal man and the faction against them.). (28) And they shall no more be a prey to the nations,neither shall the beasts of the earth devour them (They will be safe from the Beast); but they shall dwell securely, and none shall make them afraid.) In my quiet time I felt impressed of the Spirit to read Isaiah 62:11 which says, "Behold, Jehovah hath proclaimed unto the end of the earth, Say ye to the daughter of Zion, Behold, thy salvation cometh; behold, his reward is with him, and his recompense before him". I had the whole passage underlined so I read the whole passage...10-12 which reads... "Go through, go through the gates; prepare ye the way of the people; cast up, cast up the highway; gather out the stones; (or stumbling blocks) lift up an ensign for the peoples. Behold, Jehovah hath proclaimed unto the end of the earth, Say ye to the daughter of Zion, Behold, thy salvation cometh; behold, his reward is with him, and his recompense before him. And they shall call them The holy people, The redeemed of Jehovah: and thou shalt be called Sought out, A city not forsaken". (Just as Jesus did in His day, He will do through the first-fruits in our day. He will make the path to the spiritual City of God, called "the spirits of just men made perfect", plain. And the stones of stumbling will be removed through the teaching of the pure unleavened bread of the Word. Then many more will travel the holy road from spiritual Babylon to the "daughter of Zion". She is called the "daughter" because she is the firstborn of original New Testament Zion in Jesus' day.) I felt the need to agree with my Father to walk through the gate so in my mind I imagined a gate in front of me that was opened. It was dark on the other side and I was a little afraid of the darkness but I determined to walk through the gate anyway. (We cannot walk by sight for we have never been this way before. The way is enshrouded in darkness to the natural man. Jesus said, "I am the way". After two millennia of apostasy, to walk in His steps is to be the first-fruits who will show the multitudes "the way" to enter Zion. Through the faith of "Praise" we must enter the "gates" of the fullness of "Salvation" where we will find safety and peace. (Isa.60:18) Violence shall no more be heard in thy land, desolation nor destruction within thy borders; but thou shalt call thy walls Salvation, and thy gates Praise. {19} The sun shall be no more thy light by day; neither for brightness shall the moon give light unto thee: but Jehovah will be unto thee an everlasting light, and thy God thy glory. Notice that when we walk in the City of God our light is no longer to be the light of the natural man but the light of God, which only the spiritual man knows.) As I stepped through the gate I went into a free fall. I was not afraid at all...I had given myself completely over to my Father. As I fell I felt peace and I felt a fullness that I can't explain. I extended out my arms and as I did they turned into wings and I became an eagle. (To enter that city through faith is to overcome the earthly, natural forces, which cause man to gravitate towards the world and its ways.) I flew to the top portion of a mountain and there I found a nest with eggs in it. I was told to 'sit and nurture the eggs', so I sat. I felt unqualified to do so, but I was completely satisfied in knowing that it was all about Him, NOT me. He was in control. I think the best way to explain how I felt was that it was probably kind of how Moses felt when the Lord told him he was to speak to and lead the Israelites through the desert... (To be an overcomer of all that is earthly now, by God's grace, is to be prepared to birth others into Zion in the time to come.)   The Throne on Mount  Zion Jeremiah tells us of a spiritual capital city and throne for spiritual Israel, the church. (Jer.3:12) Go, and proclaim these words toward the north, and say, Return, thou backsliding Israel... In this text God is commanding His backslidden people to come out of Babylon in the north. For God's people to live in Babylon instead of submitting to Zion was a type of the backslidden state of bondage to the harlot that the church has been in for almost 2000 years. Jeremiah cries for God's people to come out from among them. (14) Return, O backsliding children, saith Jehovah; for I am a husband unto you: and I will take you one of a city, and two of a family, and I will bring you to Zion.  Notice that at first only a first-fruits bride is taken from among the backslidden multitudes and joined with her "husband" on His throne in Zion. When this happens all of the New Jerusalem is the throne for the Bride to sit in. (17) At that time they shall call Jerusalem the throne of the Lord and all the nations shall be gathered unto it, to the name of the Lord, to Jerusalem. Notice that after the bride sits in her throne "all the nations" (Hebrew: Gentiles) of the elect church will be gathered out of Babylon to submit to their true spiritual capitol city, the New Jerusalem. Also, we see here that Jerusalem has manifested the Name of the Lord. Name, in Greek means, nature, character and authority of the Lord. The mountain beneath Zion represents the true kingdom of God, the true church, whereas the New Jerusalem Bride sits on top of Mt. Zion because she is over the rest of the church in the throne. It was revealed to Pastor Shelley that "The Throne of God, the Throne Room, His true Presence is on top of Mt. Zion". As spiritual Jews, the Church, is called to grow up out of the "falsehood" of religion and enter into the Mt. Zion of "a pure heart", "truth", and holiness. (Psa.24:3) Who shall ascend into the hill of Jehovah? And who shall stand in his holy place? (4) He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; Who hath not lifted up his soul unto falsehood... (15:1) Jehovah, who shall sojourn in thy tabernacle? Who shall dwell in thy holy hill? (2) He that walketh uprightly, and worketh righteousness, And speaketh truth in his heart... Notice that the church enters "into" the hill of Zion, however the King, His Bride and His throne are "upon" the hill of Zion. (Psa.2:6) Yet I have set my king upon my holy hill of Zion. As we saw, this spiritual Mt. Zion and its city are not physical and cannot be touched by carnal man. (Heb.12:18) For ye are not come unto [a mount] that might be touched... When the church was full of apostolic teaching and the Holy Spirit they submitted to the spiritual city of God. (22) but ye are come unto mount Zion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to innumerable hosts of angels, (23) to the general assembly and church of the firstborn, who are enrolled in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect. Notice that "mount Zion" and "heavenly Jerusalem" are called the "church of the firstborn". Church is from the Greek word "ekklesia" meaning "called out ones". "The firstborn" in Paul's day were being called out of Babylonish religion to this holy mountain and city as we are today. Shortly after this verse was written the church was taken captive to Babylon, having been led astray by the wolves into all sorts of sectarian, religious bondages. A first fruits company is coming back to Zion in these days. The church's position on earth is in the spiritual, heavenly, New Jerusalem. However, our position is what is given to us at the cross and not necessarily what we have attained to on earth. For instance; "We have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ" but we are told "this is the will of God, even your sanctification...that each one of you know how to possess himself of his own vessel in sanctification and honor". What we are given at the cross is ours to manifest by faith or to reject. Like the early church, we are born at the foot of Mt. Zion but are quickly led away captive by the lies of Babylonish religion. (Psa.58:3) The wicked are estranged from the womb: They go astray as soon as they are born, speaking lies. Instead of climbing the mountain and entering the throne room of the authority of God we go astray. (Isa.53:6) All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way... The reason we are hesitant to climb the mountain is because it is holy and represents death to the flesh. (Exo.19:12)... Take heed to yourselves, that ye go not up into the mount, or touch the border of it: whosoever toucheth the mount shall be surely put to death. Moses as the man-child climbed the mountain and heard the Word directly from God, which spiritually put him to death. (Exo.20:19) And they said unto Moses, Speak thou with us, and we will hear; but let not God speak with us, lest we die. God was weak to the weak in that He put His Word in flesh. Moses as the man-child climbed the mountain and became a pure vessel to bring the Word of God to His people. If we humbly turn and submit to the pure Word from the mountain we will have His throne authority. (Rev.3:21) He that overcometh, I will give to him to sit down with me in my throne... Notice once again what Paul said. (Heb.12:22,23) ye are come unto... the heavenly Jerusalem... the spirits of just men made perfect. Clearly, while we are in the old body on earth only our spiritual man is being perfected into "the heavenly Jerusalem". We manifest the "New Jerusalem" here as our spirit and soul are born of the Spirit. John said that the city "cometh down out of heaven" in his day as the saints overcame sin. (Rev.3:12) He that overcometh, I will make him a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go out thence no more: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, the New Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God, and mine own new name. The word "cometh" here is spoken to the church in John's day. It is present tense in the ancient manuscripts, the Received Text, and the numeric pattern. Only the King James falsely translates it "shall come”.  The New Jerusalem bride is born from above as she "cometh down out of heaven" now in spirit and soul. She becomes born of the bread of the Word. Jesus said: (Jn.6:33) For the bread of God is that which cometh down out of heaven, and giveth life unto the world... Notice that both the "New Jerusalem" and the "bread of God" "cometh down out of heaven". (51) I am the living bread which came down out of heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever. As each saint is being born out of heaven by consuming Jesus, the Word, the holy city is coming down. (Jn.3:3) Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except one be born anew (Greek: "from above"), he cannot see the kingdom of God. As long as the "New Jerusalem" is only manifested in spirit and soul it is invisible to the creation, which only sees the outer man. (Rom.8:19)... the creation waiteth for the revealing of the sons of God. "Revealing" here in the Greek means the "uncovering". This means the New Jerusalem sons are here but hidden. The full revealing of the sons is seen at "the redemption of our body" (23). We are now being born from above, first spirit, then soul, and then body at the end. The bride with her new body will be seen by the creation as they are "coming down out of heaven" with Jesus at the end of the day of the Lord. (Rev.21:9) Come hither, I will show thee the bride, the wife of the Lamb. (10) And he carried me away in the Spirit to a mountain great and high, and showed me the holy city Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God. The bride will manifestly be the "holy city Jerusalem", which the whole church was given by position in Christ when He was resurrected. Sadly, many are selling their birthright by walking after the flesh.   Bride Packs Light; Man-Child Saves Her From the Curses Claire Pienaar - 6/18/21 (David's notes in red) I dreamed I was packing a suitcase as I would be leaving the place I was at in three days. It looked like the garden of the retirement home my gran used to live in. Both of my grans were there, smiling and so happy to see me! (I represent The Bride, the retirement home represents being “at rest” and my gran represents the ancient true Church). I was sitting on a ledge, looking out over the old age home. Then my name was called, and I had to go. I went into my gran's room, and she said to me, “Open the suitcase so I can check that you have everything you need”. (Everything you need to go in to the wilderness.) I smiled and did so.  She laughed at the contents of my case, not in an ugly way but more out of astonishment. There was almost nothing inside the case! The suitcase was a royal blue color on the outside (The case belongs to the heir of the kingdom. We are not bondservants but sons of God. Romans 8:14-17: For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God. 15 For ye received not the spirit of bondage again unto fear; but ye received the spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. 16 The Spirit himself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are children of God: 17 and if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified with him.).  On the inside of the case were some books. Picture books, chapter books for my children, and my bible journals and all kinds of bibles. My gran said, “This will be heavy to take”. I replied, “But this is who I am now. I am always learning more and I can't not take this with me”. Then I picked it up and said, “See? It's not heavy because there's nothing else in it.”. (Mat 11:30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.). The scene changed. I was in the hull of a big black boat or ship. I could see women dressed in black trench coats on the shore, cursing. These were not swear-words but actual curses that were exactly like witchcraft or magic. (This is the apostate church who resent us being freed from their system of slavery. They are always so contrary to what God's people are called to do and be.) I looked down and realized I was tied to the ship with light brown rope. David Eells was untying the rope. (This represents the Man-Child saving His Bride [from the slavery of religions]). I was watching this scene in the spirit from outside my body. I could move or fly around and I knew the thoughts of myself tied up, as well as my own thoughts as the spirit man outside my body. My spirit man was thinking, “They are going to be fine, but David will need to untie that rope quicker”. (This will be accomplished by the anointing on the Man-child David's. Isa. 61:1 The Spirit of the Lord Jehovah is upon me; because Jehovah hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the broken-hearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound.) Then my bound self was thinking “I don't want to die down here. Hurry up!”. (We don't want to die in the slavery of apostate religion where we do not bear fruit unto Christ-likeness.)   The black boat looked like an old ship that was used to carry slaves over the trans-Atlantic many years ago. But now it was docked and completely in darkness. It was falling apart, and it had many cracks. (Paul realized that his time in religion was darkness and he had to leave it behind. Php.3:8 Yea verily, and I count all things to be loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but refuse, that I may gain Christ.) I could see the women in black on the shore. (These women in darkness represent the denominational groups.) I knew they wanted us killed. I could feel the death in the air, but I was not scared of the death, I just did not want to die in the darkness of the hull of the ship.  David freed me and we walked out of the ship, under water, onto 5 steps. (Under water represents baptized in the water of the Word unto death to self by grace represented by the number five.) While we were under water, we could breathe completely perfectly like we were outside in plain air. (All who are baptized unto death to self, live unto Christ.) David did some strange things on the stairs. At each stair, which was almost two meters wide and about seven meters long, he lay down and rolled over the stair. It was like he was marking the stair or the sealing the stair with his body. (Laying down is a position of rest which comes by grace and not man's works. The sealing represents those who are filled with the Spirit. Eph. 1:13 in whom ye also, having heard the word of the truth, the gospel of your salvation,? in whom, having also believed, ye were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise. The Bride will follow in the steps of the Man-child being filled with His anointing.)  David did not expect me to do this (roll around and “mark” it). However, he wanted me to follow him onto each stair afterwards. At the fifth stair the waters appeared, and now I could see that we'd actually never been underwater, but we were only now getting into the water. (The water of the ship of apostasy before the steps of grace represents their words and is not as the living waters of truth and freedom.)  The water was the most amazing color despite there being no light around. The only way I can explain this is that the old boat had no light coming in, save for the slivers of light that escaped through the wooden boards of the boat that I peeked through earlier in the dream. On this fifth stair, David said, “Time to swim out”. The waters became deep and dark and both my body and me floating around watching all of this from a higher vantage point saw a pile of car tires in the water. I knew not to swim anywhere near there, even if the current swept me away. Those car tires were bad news. I don't know what lurked beneath them but in the dream those were dangerous. (Car tires are powerless like the dead slavery religions. We want to avoid at all costs those that "have a form of godliness but deny the power thereof.")  I could feel the current trying it's best to sweep me away. It was like the current had an actual assignment on my life. But David got into the water after me and wrapped me in a white rope around and pulled me really close to himself.  We just waited there in the dark water. We didn't have to swim against anything or struggle as long as I was right there next to David. Then I woke up. (The Man-child Jesus said in John 17:12 While I was with them, I kept them in thy name which thou hast given me: and I guarded them, and not one of them perished, but the son of perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled.)     I asked God for a word by faith at random and received Zec 2:9 with my finger on “hand over them” and “be a spoil”, (in context 8-11)  For thus saith Jehovah of hosts: After glory hath he sent me unto the nations which plundered you; for he that toucheth you toucheth the apple of his eye. (The Man-child is raising the Bride up to go first to the nations of apostate Christianity which will be a spoil to them.) 9 For, behold, I will shake my hand over them, and they shall be a spoil to those that served them; and ye shall know that Jehovah of hosts hath sent me. 10 Sing and rejoice, O daughter of Zion; for, lo, I come, and I will dwell in the midst of thee, saith Jehovah. 11 And many nations shall join themselves to Jehovah in that day, and shall be my people; and I will dwell in the midst of thee, and thou shalt know that Jehovah of hosts hath sent me unto thee.    We Hear that Everyone in Your Fellowship was Healed! Sandy Shaw - 6/9/21 (David's notes in red) I dreamed I was standing in front of U.T. Medical. I was there to show Dr. Freedman that God gave me my leg! (Sandy had lost a leg to diabetes years ago but had many promises from the Lord to give her back her leg. The medical profession was always trying to drag her down into the physical sight realm. In this way, of course, they would steal her supernatural leg.)  As I was walking through the hospital, a nurse yelled out, “There she is, the girl who got her leg!” They started running toward me. I took off running trying to find the doctor's office. More people started chasing me, I ran down the hallway and there was another hallway crossing it. And this doctor grabbed me in a headlock, saying, “We're going to cut off your leg. God didn't heal you, you're lying. We're going to put this new electric leg on you.”  I said, “No you're not! Let go of me!” He said, “You're never going to leave this hospital.” He grabbed me tighter and I opened my mouth and bit him. So I put my chin down and squeezed it behind his arm. And yes I was healed completely because I had teeth! He let go and I ran. And there were a lot of people chasing me. I ran into a room where there was no way out. Then I was in a corner. People were asking me questions. “We hear that everyone in your fellowship was healed. (Something we have seen in dreams when the Man-child comes at the restoration.) Where is your fellowship at? We can't find it. God didn't really heal you guys, your leg was never amputated. Why are you lying? What's the name of everyone in your fellowship? If you don't tell us, we'll have all of you arrested.” “We heard you have a lot of dreams. Who's Eve? So, who are you and Eve? Mediums? You might as well tell us, because you can't come out of here.” A man was walking through the crowd with a big stick in his hand. Then I said, “Lord Jesus, only you can get me out of this. Then I was standing outside the hospital. There was a big, white limo. I ran into it and woke up. (God made a way of escape through the promises but they talked her out of it and, in effect, they stole her leg. The factious made war against her constantly with witchcraft and her blood is upon them but "the curse that is causeless abideth not". As we have seen with the vaccines, many will die trusting in man. Rom. 3:4 God forbid: yea, let God be found true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mightest be justified in thy words, And mightest prevail when thou comest into judgment.) I received this text by faith at random. Eze 32:11-12  For thus saith the Lord Jehovah: The sword of the king of Babylon shall come upon thee.  12  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. (Egypt represents trusting in the arm of the flesh. Of Babylon it was said in Rev. 18:23 …for thy merchants were the princes of the earth; for with thy sorcery (or Pharmakeia in Greek, also translated witchcraft) were all the nations deceived.)   Revival Beginning at UBMCharlie Smith - 12/12/12 (David's notes in red) Notice the date of this dream: 12/12/12, the fullness of the elect. In the early hours of the morning, the Lord gave me this dream. In it, suddenly, I appeared in a large room where I saw brother David (representing the David Man-child reformers) and about 10 or 12 brethren standing around. (I asked the Lord if this was 12 and got a yes, which fits with Jesus and his 12 when revival began then.)  I knew David but his features had changed some. I mean, he really looked great. I could really see God in the man like I never had before. (David here is a type of the Man-child ministry which will start this revival, just as Jesus, the Son of David, did in His time. The things that have been are the things that will be.)  And I knew him but the other brethren I did not recognize, although I really knew who they were. As I stood looking, a man came over to me and He was the Lord! The brethren were being taught how to minister to the needs of the people. Brother David walked across the room to pray for a man who came for healing. And he stood before the man and said, "Be healed", and the man was healed instantly. David turned and walked back to the other side of the room. (God's power is made perfect in man's weakness, so that no flesh can glory.) The brethren, as well as myself, were amazed that the man was healed and we started praising God and giving thanks. As we rejoiced, another man came forward for healing. I believe the man was blind. One of the brethren came forth and laid hands on the man's head, saying, "Receive your sight". And the man cried out, "I'm healed and I can see!" Other people in the room who were in need came forth immediately, some with missing or deformed limbs, twisted bodies, crippled, all such of humanity that was so pitiful; they came up and every one of them were healed instantly.  I said, "Oh, God, how is it that everyone was healed instantly, so fast, so easily? Some had hands laid on them and others did not, but they were all healed". The Lord smiled and said, "You could not see". The Lord opened my spiritual eyes and said, "Now look". And He showed me again the part where David said to the man, "Be healed". This time I could see the words "Be healed" coming out of David's mouth, like a mist, and entering into the man. And as the word went into the man, he was instantly healed.  I received a few scriptures that go with this dream: (Isa.55:11) So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth. It shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please; and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it. (Jer.1:12) I watch over my word to perform it. (Eze.12:25) For I am Jehovah and I will speak, and the word that I shall speak shall be performed. (Rom.10:8) The word is nigh thee, in thy mouth and in thy heart. And I was still wondering about the mist that I saw and I got (Joh.6:63) The words that I have spoken to you are spirit and they are life. So I understood, like Jesus spoke the Word and it came to pass, so did these brethren operate on that level. Then there was a scene change. This time in a different, larger room, David and about 100 or more other brethren were gathered together. The brethren were being taught how to minister and were then sent forth. They went forth preaching the Word and healing the sick everywhere. The brethren covered much of this area. You couldn't go anywhere without seeing these brethren.  And then the scene quickly changed again and we were at another place outside. It was a large, grassy area with parking nearby, but I don't know where it was. Brother David and maybe as many as 500 brethren were gathered together and crowds of people were coming from everywhere. It looked like thousands or even hundreds of thousands were coming. The meetings ran day and night. One night, all the people saw a pillar of fire burning in our midst. They were being drawn by the Lord and it definitely was a holy move of God. So many saints were now coming together. Again, the scene quickly changed and I was lifted up, looking down on the earth, and I saw the saints running through all the earth, spreading the gospel and the light shining all over the earth. I think what I saw was a revival to prepare the saints to manifest sons of God in the earth to do the will of the Father. I also believe that this is a revival for the Man-child because every one of those scenes David and the brethren were gathered but they were being taught how to minister the Word and heal the sick.  And I noticed that everything was on a higher level than what we're used to now. They didn't spend a lot of time, a lot of words when they prayed; they just commanded it and it was immediately done. And when they gave the Gospel, they didn't have to stand there for hours trying to nail a point down. It was just like the glory of the Lord fell. When these brethren got around people out here on the streets to witness, the glory of the Lord was so strong that they just automatically fell down and cried, "Save me!" This was definitely a sign to us all that God's getting ready to do something wonderful here. I'm just like my brothers and sisters here. I want to be a part of it because I know God's going to do a fantastic work here and it's going to spread worldwide because I saw the lights cover the whole earth. I don't know when this is going to happen but I know it will. Amen. We are informed by the Lord in many more dreams and scriptures that there is coming a great revival here and across the country and world. It will be in the midst of darkness and turmoil and many will come out of darkness. {Isa.60:1} Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of Jehovah is risen upon thee. {2} For, behold, darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the peoples; but Jehovah will arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee. {3} And nations shall come to thy light, and kings to the brightness of thy rising. {4} Lift up thine eyes round about, and see: they all gather themselves together, they come to thee; thy sons shall come from far, and thy daughters shall be carried in the arms. {5} Then thou shalt see and be radiant, and thy heart shall thrill and be enlarged; because the abundance of the sea shall be turned unto thee, the wealth of the nations shall come unto thee. We have a part in this. The principalities and powers of darkness have been put under our feet but we must fight the good fight of the faith and cast them down from over UBM and this area and the U.S. {Luk.10:18} And he said unto them, I beheld Satan fallen as lightning from heaven. {19} Behold, I have given you authority to tread upon serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall in any wise hurt you. {20} Nevertheless in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rejoice that your names are written in heaven. Let us have fasting and prayer and praise meetings and confess our sins and cast down these powers. Let us decree freedom from bondage and darkness. I received this a few days ago: {Job 22:28} Thou shalt also decree a thing, and it shall be established unto thee; And light shall shine upon thy ways. {29} When they cast [thee] down, thou shalt say, [There is] lifting up; And the humble person he will save. {30} He will deliver [even] him that is not innocent: Yea, he shall be delivered through the cleanness of thy hands.   A prophet named Phillip shared this vision with us:  I have prayed for three days now for the Holy Father's will in this matter of sharing the vision I received during a meeting with David as the speaker (in Phoenix, a type of resurrection life). I am permitted to share the following: As I prayed with David at the start of the meeting, I saw the room change into a stadium filled with people and David was at the podium shouting through a microphone that was in the shape of a shofar. He wore a silver yarmulke that glowed as he spoke, and from above it came a white golden light pouring down from the sky as a beam of glory growing brighter with each outpouring. From David's clothing came the same glory lights pouring though the tzit-tzit on his garment flowing like fingers through the people. They touched the forehead and were grabbed by the right hand of people who became pregnant and began shouting as they were covered in glory. This is the vision I had at the meeting. The Holy Father says that David would know its meaning, if not now very soon.   Months after that meeting we received this from Phillip: Holy Yahweh is forming this ministry into His Image to spearhead the Man-child Ministry Birthing and Delivery to the World! Amen! He has given this to me in a mighty vision that ran continued for three nights along with some other things that I can't say just yet. In short brethren the "white golden light pouring down from the sky as a beam of glory" will flow through obedient servants in whom Christ is manifested through the latter rain and belief in the truth. It will flow first through the man-child and then through the witnesses to the Church at large. (This light is pouring down from the sky upon the giant body of Christ below in Tommy Hick's revelation.)    TOMMY HICKS' END-TIMES VISION July 25, 1961 (The following is a stunning vision given to American preacher Tommy Hicks (who was a major figure in the powerful 1954 Argentina Revival).VISION OF THE BODY OF CHRIST AND THE END-TIME MINISTRIES.(My message begins July 25, about 2:30 in the morning at Winnipeg, Canada. I had hardly fallen asleep when the vision and the revelation that God gave me came before me. The vision came three times, exactly in detail, the morning of July 25, 1961. I was so stirred and so moved by the revelation that this has changed my complete outlook upon the body of Christ, and upon the end-time ministries.The greatest thing that the church of Jesus Christ has ever been given lies straight ahead. It is so hard to help men and women to realize and understand the thing that God is trying to give his people in the end times.I received a letter several weeks ago from one of our native evangelists down in Africa, down in Nairobi. This man and his wife were on their way to Tanganyika. They could neither read nor could they write, but we had been supporting them for over two years. As they entered into the territory of Tanganyika, they came across a small village. The entire village was evacuating because of a plague that had hit the village. He came across natives that were weeping, and he asked them what was wrong.They told him of their mother and father who had suddenly died, and they had been dead for three days. They had to leave. They were afraid to go in; they were leaving them in the cottage. He turned and asked them where they were. They pointed to the hut and he asked them to go with him, but they refused. They were afraid to go.The native and his wife went to this little cottage and entered in where the man and woman had been dead for three days. He simply stretched forth his hand in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, and spoke the man's name and the woman's name and said, "In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, I command life to come back to your bodies." Instantaneously these two heathen people who had never known Jesus Christ as their Savior sat up and immediately began to praise God. The spirit and the power of God came into the life of those people.To us that may seem strange and a phenomenon, but that is the beginning of these end-time ministries. God is going to take the do-nothings, the nobodies, the unheard-of, the no-accounts. He is going to take every man and every woman and he is going to give to them this outpouring of the Spirit of God. In the book of Acts we read that "In the last days,” God said,"I will pour out my Spirit upon all flesh." I wonder if we realized what he meant when God said, "I will pour out my Spirit upon all flesh." I do not think I fully realized nor could I understand the fullness of it, and then I read from the book of Joel: "Be glad then, ye children of Zion, and rejoice in the Lord your God: for he hath given you the former rain moderately, and he will cause to come down for you the rain, the former rain, and the latter rain -" (Joel 2:23). It is not only going to be the rain, the former rain and the latter rain, but he is going to give to his people in these last days a double portion of the power of God!)As the vision appeared to me after I was asleep, I suddenly found myself in a great high distance. Where I was, I do not know. But I was looking down upon the earth. Suddenly the whole earth came into my view. Every nation, every kindred, every tongue came before my sight from the east and the west, the north and the south. I recognized every country and many cities that I had been in, and I was almost in fear and trembling as I beheld the great sight before me: and at that moment when the world came into view, it began to lightning and thunder.  As the lightning flashed over the face of the earth, my eyes went downward and I was facing the north. Suddenly I beheld what looked like a great giant, and as I stared and looked at it, I was almost bewildered by the sight. It was so gigantic and so great. His feet seemed to reach to the north pole and his head to the south. Its arms were stretched from sea to sea.  I could not even begin to understand whether this be a mountain or a giant, but as I watched, I suddenly beheld a great giant. I could see his head was struggling for life. He wanted to live, but his body was covered with debris from head to foot, and at times this great giant would move his body and act as though it would even raise up at times. And when it did, thousands of little creatures seemed to run away. Hideous creatures would run away from this giant, and when he would become calm, they would come back.All of a sudden this great giant lifted his hand towards heaven, and then it lifted its other hand, and when it did, these creatures by the thousands seemed to flee away from this giant and go into the darkness of the night.Slowly this great giant began to rise and as he did, his head and hands went into the clouds. As he rose to his feet he seemed to have cleansed himself from the debris and filth that was upon him, and he began to raise his hands into the heavens as though praising the Lord, and as he raised his hands, they went even unto the clouds.Suddenly, every cloud became silver, the most beautiful silver I have ever known. As I watched this phenomenon, it was so great, I could not even begin to understand what it all meant. I was so stirred as I watched it, and I cried unto the Lord and I said, "Oh Lord, what is the meaning of this." and I felt as if I was actually in the Spirit and I could feel the presence of the Lord even as I was asleep.And from those clouds suddenly there came great drops of liquid light raining down upon this mighty giant, and slowly, slowly, this giant began to melt, began to sink itself in the very earth itself, and as he melted, his whole form seemed to have melted upon the face of the earth, and this great rain began to come down. Liquid drops of light began to flood the very earth itself and as I watched this giant that seemed to melt, suddenly it became millions of people over the face of the earth.  As I beheld the sight before me, people stood up all over the world! They were lifting their hands and they were praising the Lord. At that very moment there came a great thunder that seemed to roar from the heavens. I turned my eyes toward the heavens and suddenly I saw a figure in white, in glistening white; the most glorious thing that I have ever seen in my entire life.  I did not see the face, but somehow I knew it was the Lord Jesus Christ, and he stretched forth his hand, and as he did, he would stretch it forth to one, and to another, and to another. And as he stretched forth his hand upon the nations and the people of the world -men and women- as he pointed toward them, this liquid light seemed to flow from his hands into them, and a mighty anointing of God came upon them, and those people began to go forth in the name of the Lord.I do not know how long I watched it. It seemed it went into days and weeks and months. And I beheld this Christ as he continued to stretch forth his hand; but there was a tragedy. There were many people, as he stretched forth his hand, that refused the anointing of God and the call of God. I saw men and women that I knew. People that I felt would certainly receive the call of God.  But as he stretched forth his hand toward this one and toward that one, they simply bowed their head and began to back away. And each of those that seemed to bow down and back away, seemed to go into darkness. Blackness seemed to swallow them everywhere.I was bewildered as I watched it, but these people that he had anointed, hundreds of thousands of people all over the world, in Africa, England, Russia, China, America, all over the world, the anointing of God was upon these people as they went forward in the name of the Lord.I saw these men and women as they went forth. They were ditch diggers, they were washerwomen, they were rich men, they were poor men. I saw people who were bound with paralysis and sickness and blindness and deafness. As the Lord stretched forth to give them this anointing, they became well, they became healed, and they went forth exactly as the Lord did. And this is the miracle of it - this is the glorious miracle of it . It seemed as if there was this same liquid fire in their hands - those people would stretch forth their hands and said, "According to my word, be thou made whole." These people continued in this mighty end-time ministry, I did not fully realize what it was, and I looked to the Lord and said, "What is the meaning of this?" And he said, "This is that which I will do in the last days. I will restore all that the cankerworm, the palmerworm, the caterpiller - I will restore all that they have destroyed. This, my people, in the end times will go forth. As a mighty army shall they sweep over the face of the earth."As I was at this great height, I could behold the whole world. I watched these people as they were going to and fro over the face of the earth. Suddenly there was a man in Africa and in a moment he was transported by the Spirit of God, and perhaps he was in Russia, or China or America or some other place, and vice versa. All over the world these people went, and they came through fire, and through pestilence, and through famine. Neither fire nor persecution, nothing seemed to stop them.Angry mobs came to them with swords and with guns. And like Jesus, they passed through the multitudes and they could not find them, but they went forth in the name of the Lord, and everywhere they stretched forth their hands, the sick were healed, the blind eyes were opened. There was not a long prayer. And after I had reviewed the vision many times in my mind, and I thought about it many times, I realized that I never saw a church, and I never saw or heard a denomination, but these people were going in the name of the Lord of Hosts. Hallelujah!As they marched forth in everything they did, as the ministry of Christ in the end times, these people were ministering to the multitudes over the face of the earth. Tens of thousands, even millions seemed to come to the Lord Jesus Christ as these people stood forth and gave the message of the kingdom, of the coming kingdom, in this last hour. It was so glorious, but it seems as though there were those that rebelled, and they would become angry and they tried to attack those workers that were giving the message.God is going to give the world a demonstration in this last hour as the world has never known. These men and women are of all walks of life, degrees will mean nothing. I saw these workers as they were going over the face of the earth. When one would stumble and fall, another would come and pick him up. There were no "big I's" and "little you's," but every mountain was brought low and every valley was exalted, and they seemed to have one thing in common - there was a divine love, a divine love that seemed to flow forth from these people as they worked together, and as they lived together.  It was the most glorious sight that I have ever known. Jesus Christ was the theme of their life. They continued and it seemed days went by as I stood and beheld this sight. I could only cry, and sometimes I laughed. It was so wonderful as these people went throughout the face of the whole earth, bringing forth in this last end time.As I watched from the very heaven itself, there were times when great deluges of this liquid light seemed to fall upon great congregations, and that congregation would lift up their hands and seemingly praise God for hours and even days as the Spirit of God came upon them. God said, "I will pour my Spirit upon all flesh,"and that is exactly this thing. And to every man and woman that received this power and anointing of God, the miracles were without end.(We have talked about miracles. We have talked about signs and wonders, but I could not help but weep as I read again this morning, at 4 o'clock the letter from our native workers. This is only the evidence of the beginning for one man, a "do-nothing, an unheard-of," who would go and stretch forth his hand and say, "In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, I command life to flow into your body.” I dropped to my knees and began to pray again, and I said, "Lord, I know that this time is coming soon!”)  And then again, as these people were going about the face of the earth, a great persecution seemed to come from every angle. Suddenly, there was another great clap of thunder, that seemed to resound around the world, and I heard again the voice that seemed to speak, "Now this is my people. This is my beloved bride.” (In Rev. 19:7-8 we see the Bride in her “lampros" garment who has been doing miracles all over the world. John the Baptist saw Jesus' first fruits disciples and called them the Bride for he said, “He that hath the Bride is the Bridegroom.” This Bride went forth to do miracles in the gospels and Acts and to pass this anointing on to the rest of the church. Then in Rev. 19:14 we see the rest of the church in a “leukos" garment who are invited to the marriage. And then below we will see in Tommy's revelation the dead in Christ rising at the end of the 7 years to join them. ) And when the voice spoke, I looked upon the earth and I could see the lakes and the mountains. The graves were opened and people from all over the world, the saints of all ages, seemed to be rising. And as they rose from the grave, suddenly all these people came from every direction. From the East and the West, from the North and the South, and they seemed to be forming again this gigantic body. As the dead in Christ seemed to be rising first, (Before the rest of the “leukos” body of Christ.) I could hardly comprehend it. It was so marvellous. It was so far beyond anything I could ever dream or think of. But as this body suddenly began to form, and take shape again, it took shape again in the form of this mighty giant, but this time it was different. It was arrayed in the most beautiful gorgeous white. (In Rev. 19:14 the white garments are the “leukos" garments.) Its garments were without spot or wrinkle as its body began to form, and the people of all ages seemed to be gathered into this body, and slowly, slowly, as it began to form up into the very heavens, suddenly from the heavens above, the Lord Jesus came, and became the head, and I heard another clap of thunder that said, (Jesus is the head of the Bride, Jerusalem, in whom David ruled. In this way Jesus is the head of the rest of the Body of Israel; a type of the church. We see this same relationship of Esther as the Bride head of the body of Israel and the Shulammite in Song of Solomon as the Bride head of Israel.) "This is my beloved bride for whom I have waited. She will come forth even tried by fire. This is she that I have loved from the beginning of time."As I watched, my eyes suddenly turned to the far north, and I saw  destruction of men and women in anguish and crying out, and buildings in destruction. Then I heard again, the fourth voice that said, "Now is My wrath being poured out upon the face of the earth."From the ends of the whole world, the wrath of God seemed to be poured out and it seemed that there were great vials of God's wrath being poured out upon the face of the earth. I can remember it as though it happened a moment ago. I shook and trembled as I beheld the awful sight of seeing the cities, and whole nations going down into destruction.I could hear the weeping and wailing. I could hear people crying. They seemed to cry as they went into caves, but the caves in the mountains opened up. They leaped into water, but the water would not drown them. There was nothing that could destroy them. They were wanting to take their lives, but they could not.Then again I turned my eyes to this glorious sight, this body arrayed in beautiful white, shining garments. Slowly, slowly, it began to lift from the earth, and as it did, I awoke.What a sight I had beheld! I had seen the end-time ministries - the last hour. Again on July 27, at 2:30 in the morning, the same revelation, the same vision came again exactly as it did before. My life has been changed as I realised that we are living in that end time, for all over the world God is anointing men and women with this ministry. It will not be doctrine. It will not be a churchianity. It is going to be Jesus Christ. They will give forth the word of the Lord. I heard it said so many times in the vision, "And according to my word it shall be done."

Revelation 7-11 We are in the Church Stream reading from the New Living Translation. 7streamsmethod.com | @7streamsmethod | Donate Commentary by Dr. Drake Travis Lord, those who are against you have such woe coming to them. While those who are for you have protection and covering that can be relied upon. We thank you for putting us in the "latter camp".  It's much better being behind Your barricade than behind enemy lines.  Thank you Jesus.  Amen. 07 - We've come to an interlude within the first seven seals that have inflicted terrible suffering on the earth.  The first six of the seven seals are spelled out in the prior chapter. The seventh commences in chapter eight. Here there is a moment of pause.  There is a section where God's protection is declared on those who have His seal on their foreheads. [This is in clear contrast to those who have '666' on their foreheads]. This is God preserving His own; people who have come to Him even during the Tribulation. The Church has been raptured away from this in case you were wondering where all the Believers are.  The other part of this chapter is John's vision of paradise (so far) where God has gathered His own from every tribe and tongue and nation (the reverse of Babylon if you will).  It is angels and elders and paradise and God's children beyond number worshipping. It is a colossal scene that seems to spread wonder across an entire galaxy in terms of its size.  God is merely giving pause in here to encourage His own --> that He has a plan for them that is beyond this world and magnificent in its scope.  This scene is a vitally important vision to share with the church, presently as in the first century, amid a Roman government that is taking sadistic delight in tormenting them. It is an ensuring vision that pertains to the church in every century. 08 - The Seventh Seal is opened. It is segmented into seven trumpets that contain more horror than the first six combined.  But the chapter opens with a scene that makes the heavens fall silent for half an hour. [Some have joked that this is proof no women had arrived yet], but the angels and the rest are stunned at what is coming next. Prayers are sent aloft, the incense is released and then the angel sends fire to the earth along with thunder, lightning, and earthquake. The succession of events that follow leave the mind wondering how anyone ends up surviving. Fire falls like the world has never seen as ALL grass is burned by hail, fire, and blood.  One third of the entire sea turns to blood and there's death in the ocean; big time. Fresh water is destroyed, contaminating/killing untold amounts of people.  There is also cataclysmic events regarding sun and stars and this affects earth. Interesting to glance back at Genesis 1,2 and see Creation take place in succession: vegetation, water, land, sun and stars.  That is Creation. Genesis 7,8 tell of "un-Creation" as God needs to inundate the place so Noah and family can start over. In Rev.8 we are read of basically a "de-Creation".  Man has been so rebellious and uncooperative for so long that it's time to chemically destroy the place: pelt it, burn it, ransack it. It's a sorry picture really.  Y'ever wonder if the enviornmentalists are going to sue God for all these deeds? What court will they take Him to? The "Save the Earth" / Friends of the Earth / Granite-Planet support group network / and all the rest of them will be quivering in caves. 09 - the end of the final chapter tells of an eagle that screeches, "that was nothing compared to what is coming!"  The fifth trumpet releases demonic flying scorpions that torment all on earth for five months straight. No place to hide, nowhere to run, none are allowed to die - all suffer at what Satan has released here. Joel talks about locusts coming before the Day of Judgment. Egypt experienced locusts as a warning of their imminent end (Exodus 10). The sixth trumpet brings the next terror; an army of 200Million is loosed on the earth and they kill 1/3 of all remaining humans. The fourth seal back in Rev. 6:4 killed 1/4 of the earth. With a third of the remaining gone, half the world's population has now been removed. Death seems to be reigning on earth anymore. Do the survivors see/realize/know that God is the Lord? No. They barrel-on-ahead with their witchcraft, theft, murder, cult-sex & idolatry. 10 - this chapter is another interlude of sorts. Remember the interlude between the sixth and seventh seals? This is one between the sixth and seventh trumpets. The angel is announcing that what is coming next is set to happen and no one will be able to stop it. God has delayed his rage against rebellion long enough. This is final warning - just to warn you - as God does. But there is no way out for anyone looking for relief. [Similar to hell itself] 11 - John is to measure the Temple' inner court; that is to assess the worshippers even in these difficult days. Notice there is no interest in the outer court. God has had enough of the fringe people.  My husband and I have been in church for a cumulative century; for more actually. And we know about the fringe people; the tares who just like being around true believers but don't want to become involved for real themselves.  They sit on the edge, in the back, come late, leave early, are often there but "never there". God not with these people.    God then raises up two witnesses who have evangelistic power that is terribly great. Though the verbiage is mirrored in Zechariah 4, it is not stated who these two are but it will become clear in time. They are fiercely protected while doing great exploits ... then they are killed, lay dead before a fascinated world, then resurrect and are carried away to God. Verses15ff then declare that the Kingdom of the World has all been conquered and surrendered to the reigning Christ.  The elders worship, the Ark in heaven is opened and it is a glorious powerful scene! You may be thinking how this [at the middle of the book] can sound so 'final' - when there are 11 chapters left in Revelation.  The literature follows a typical biblical pattern of repetition, as Genesis 1 & 2 are different descriptions of the same process.  Rev. 6-11 runs in the same current and chronology as does Rev. 12-19.  You are sensing it right that the worship service John witnesses in John 11 is the same one he witnesses in John 19.  Again, Rev. 12-19 is a repeat of Rev. 6-11.  So next week the imagery will sound familiar as to what we read this week and on into  our finishing the Bible in two weeks from today. The Thread Through the Streams "Your decisions today determine your destiny tomorrow ... and your eternity.  Choose right people! ~ Deuteronomy 26 - 28 and the most bountiful wondrous blessings are laid before them provided they obey. The most ghastly and dreadful of cursed scenarios would engulf them were they to disobey. The choice couldn't be more clear with full impetus to decide to do right. Is the gravity of their dilemma going to spur them to choose rightly? ~ Nehemiah 9-12 the returned exiles from Babylon.  It was the sins of their forefathers who had these ones once living in Babylon (and God is gentlemanly enough to not rub their nose in it with "see, I told you!" The people all the same realize the heights from which they once were 500 years prior in Solomon's day and they confess; pledging to obey in the finest of reformations the nation of Israel had ever known. ~ Ecclesiastes 7-12  Solomon's reflects after a regal life of great character, wise leadership mixed with duplicitious personal decisions in his lovelife.  He knew the long term effects of living wisely and that the same held true for living-the-fool. He knew that the Lord knows all and will judge all whether good or bad.  Had he better mentored his secessors, there may have not been a national division that affected the rest of Israel's history. His decisions rippled for much longer than he expected. ~ Ezekiel 41-43  In the Temple, the Lord would reside in all His glory provided His people do not defile His holy name. [Ezekiel is speaking in firm yet ambiguous terms that recollect Solomon's Temple, the Tabernacle in Moses' - Davis's day, the Temple that would be rebuilt and also the Temple that is spoken of in Revelation. Honor God and He shows up. Mock Him with an ungodly life and WE get expelled.  It's a grand canyon of difference ~ Zechariah 13-14  The contrasts are stark and severe (as is the dilemma leading to everyone's destiny). The jolting prophecies of Christ appear without warning. Fighting against Jerusalem (...and Christ!) leads to life becoming a horror-show. On the contrary, to be on the Lord's side when He appears is Light and life and life-giving water (healing), and the worship we partake in together is pure. ~ John 18 the double-sided symbolism shines throughout Jesus' arrest and trial. Judas fakes his commitment in a kiss while Peter shockingly reveals his commitment through heated denials (had he not loved Jesus, he would have been completely non-plused.)  Judas and Peters' true motives surface clearly and in short order. Their true commitments end up taking them to completely different places / destinies, and to different eternities! ~ Revelation 7 -11 God's people are preserved by the name of the Lord on their foreheads.  However the people possessed of this world are wholly bent on remaining evil and they are tormented mercilessly.  So as the Bible grandly warns us, hundreds of time, in admonitions that go far back to Eden, the price for choosing wrong is not a subtle difference, it is cosmically bi-polar and eventually going to be irreversible ... and eternal.

For additional notes and resources check out Douglas' website.You have heard that it was said by those of old, you will not kill; and whoever kills will be in danger of the judgment. But I say to you whoever is angry with his brother rashly will be in danger of the judgment. And whoever says to his brother, raqa, will be in danger of the council. And whoever says “fool” will be in danger of hellfire. Therefore, if you bring your gift to the altar and there remember that your brother has something against you, leave your gift before the altar and go your way. First be reconciled to your brother and then come and offer your gift. Agree with your adversary quickly while you are on the way with him, lest at any time the adversary delivers you to the judge, and the judge delivers you to the minister and you are cast into prison. Truly I say to you, you will by no means come out from there until you have paid the last penny (Matthew 5:21-26).From here on Jesus will take up various points of law—the law of Moses. These are entirely non-trivial. The matters Jesus brings up in the next sections— murder, adultery, divorce, oaths, retaliation, and enemies—are all fundamental in their importance and impact on our lives. Of course not every topic is equally important—but all are important.AngerToday's passage is the first of a series of teachings in which Jesus refers to something in the Law (or in popular Jewish teaching) and then contrasts it with his own kingdom teachings. In each case, he doesn't contradict the Law, but rather fleshes out the purpose behind the law and calls us to an even higher standard.The commandment of the Decalogue Jesus begins with is: “You shall not murder” (Exod 20:13). Rather than eliminating the commandment, Jesus now enlarges it. He tells them they must not even be angry at others. “Whoever hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life abiding in him” (1 John 3:15).By using the formula "You have heard... but I say to you," Jesus also establishes Himself as the new lawgiver—the second Moses (a large theme in Matthew's gospel). He has no hesitation to modify the laws that Moses gave—again, not to destroy them but to fill them out and complete them.Jesus does not condemn all varieties of anger, only anger that is rash or selfish. Jesus himself regarded religious leaders “with anger” because of their hardheartedness (Mark 3:5). There is such a thing as righteous anger. Paul urges, “When you are angry, do not sin. Don't let the sun go down on your anger” (Eph 4:26; see Psalm 4:4).Raqa and fool were mild insults; neither constituted profanity. These are disrespectful words. And Christians are not to be disrespectful in how they address others. Our altar is in heaven (Heb 13:10; see also 9:4 and 10:1).Unrighteous attitudes towards others affects our prayer. In Rev 8:3 the prayers of the saints are on the golden altar. There is no point in offering a gift to God if our brother has something against us. Even under the Law of Moses, God rejected sacrifices from those with unclean hands.This also has application to the Lord's Supper: 1 Cor 11:29 calls us to discern the body. Entirely relational—not that there no vertical, divine dimension to communion. But the focus of the larger section (1 Cor 8:1-11:1) is horizontal—loving our brothers and sisters, especially those who have less.There is sort of parallel passage, the Parable of the Unmerciful Servant (Matt 18:21-35). (Please read this after the podcast is over.)Time is of the essence.PracticalsConsidering what Jesus said about anger and insults, what are we to do if we have been angry at a fellow Christian, or have insulted them?Jesus provides the answer: waste no time in becoming reconciled with him.Are there people we need to initiate with?It may be costly to reconcile—but it is costlier not to reconcile.After all, we are called to be peacemakers (Matt 5:9).At the same time, the Lord understands that our best efforts may be spurned (Rom 12:18).Communion: Have we ever not taken communion?While we have likely been conditioned to feel unworthy of body of the Lord for things like laziness or lust, when did we last refuse communion because of unfinished business with a brother or sister who had a problem with us?This is the nitty-gritty work of the kingdom—not getting tangled up in webs of guilt for flagging discipleship or secret sin.So when we're growing angry with someone, warning lights should be going off! Usually (not always) this anger is born of self-interest and is sinful.Next podcast: Lust 

Is the Church the Bride of Christ? I was taught from childhood, as you were too, that we the church, the body of Christ, are also the Bride of Christ.  Preachers and teachers refer to the church as the Bride of Christ dogmatically, as a pillar of our Christian beliefs.  I never seriously questioned the doctrine even though I could find no scripture passage from Paul, our apostle, calling us the Bride of Christ.  In fact, the phrase Bride of Christ, is nowhere in the KJB.In Rev. chapter 19 we read the phrase “marriage of the Lamb.”Revelation 19:7-8 KJV - "Let us be glad and rejoice and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready. And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints."Interesting that just 3 verses later the Lord leaves heaven on a white horse and comes to earth to rescue and redeem Israel leaving us, the church, in heaven.  Perhaps He is going to rescue the real bride, Israel.

https://youtu.be/2fBYGkxd0pw We have been talking about and are finishing up our messages this month about the “Reach More” campaign and today is the day that we make our commitments to the Lord for 2020At the end of Service I will ask you to write your commitment on a card, and Kasey will gather them in a basket in the back- He is the only one who knows who tithes what. I don't know how much people tithe. I don't even know what Jay, Kevin, Todd tithe. I do know they tithe. I wont know who is committed and who gave how much. I know that the Leaders have committed to ________ but I don't know how much each one did. Between God and themWe have been talking about the value of the local church- and our desire to pay off this building to the Glory of God. So more will worship him and serve him. So we can establish this church as an ark of safety as we await Christs return. So we can preach the Gospel with no restraints. This message is titled- 7 Churches and 5 Crowns. 7 Churches of revelation- most of them were rebuked, but one was praised. We want to be a church that is praised when Christ returns. We want to earn our Crowns and lay them at the feet of Jesus in  heaven. Through the Church Christians don't talk about rewards much- but they are there. The Local church is the greatest vehicle to be a Biblical Church and earn the rewards and crowns the Bible promisesThis is why we want to build and defend our local church- not at the expense of othersBook of Revelation 7 churches IN Rev 2-3Ephesus, The Loveless Church: Hardworking, hated evil, looked good, but their hearts were wrong. Missing LovePergamum, The Worldly Compromising Church: This was the church of tolerance- sins like immorality, idols, cults and heresies Thyatira, The Wrong Doctrine Church: had faith love and good works. Patient, but doctrine allowed sexual sin, idolatry and paganism They were corrupt Sardis  The Spiritually Dead Church: asleep spiritually except for a remnant. Encouraged to revive themselves by faithLaodicea, The Lukewarm Church:  This church only received rebuke. Neither hot nor cold. Relied on things of this world and riches- they were a half-way church. Smyrna, The Persecuted Church: No rebuke, but under physical hardship, promised to not get second death- encouraged to stay faithful unto deathPhiladelphia the faithful churchThe Spiritually Alive Church: Philadelphia did well. No rebuke. Never denied Jesus. Huge promise for them in Heaven. All these churches Jesus said- “ I know your works” Jesus knows what Churches are what and what they are doing- as he's watching OUR CHURCH we want to have the LONG VIEW- I don't know when Christ is going to return, but we are here today because 2000 years of Christians have maintained Churches. They have passed the torch to us for this timeI hope he comes back NOW but our job is to pass this torch to the next generation!Our Children's Children may be the ones who are running this church when Christ returns SO AS A CHURCH- We don't want to be loveless- we want to operate in love in everything. Love is the heart of God. Good biblical love- not false agape love 2 Cor 8:24  Therefore show to them, and before the churches, the proof of your love and of our boasting on your behalf.We don't want to be tolerant of Sin- “it is reported among you”  We don't want to tolerate sin in ourselves or others. 1 cor 5: 4 In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, when you are gathered together, along with my spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ, 5 deliver such a one to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that his spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.We don't want to have wrong doctrine- We want to preach correct doctrine that is biblical 2 Timothy 4:3-4 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers; 4 and they will turn their ears away from the truth,

In Rev. Eric Liles’s sermon, we learn about the city of Jerusalem and the way of the cross.
