TO THE BELOVED... A WAKE UP CALL 

Part One

In the Precious Name of Jesus Christ; the Only Begotten Son of the Living God; this is released with much love as the Spirit of the Lord testifies that five virgins with oil for their lamps, and five without breaks the heart of the Lord; as He is not willing that any should perish...

I pray that the Lord would be gracious, and open the eyes of your heart that you would have eyes to see, and open your ears that you would have ears to hear what the Spirit is saying... In Jesus' name... Amen

What follows is a progressive understanding of the revelation that the Father has been revealing in part for years now.  However since October of 2004 there has been a series of explosions in my spirit that have to do with a revealing of veiled meanings within the books of Daniel and Revelation.  These things are being revealed in the midst of these days because time is short and there is much at stake as we are being made ready for the second coming of our Lord. 

THE PRIMARY REASON FOR RELEASING THIS IS TO PROCLAIM A RETURN (OR TESHUVAH) TO THE HEADSHIP AUTHORITY OF JESUS CHRIST IN ALL DECISIONS RELATED TO THE AFFAIRS OF MEN BEGINNING WITH THE CLEAR AUTHORITY OF JESUS CHRIST OVER EVERY ASSEMBLY OF BELIEVERS KNOWN AS THE "BODY OF CHRIST."
 

NOTE: What you are about to read has been through a process that allowed others to judge this word before it was published.  While I considered this process to be fairly rigid; even then this work should not be held up as being without flaws and even if what I have written was heard with 100% accuracy; I do not claim perfection nor anything close to it in how it was written.   Only the original writers of scripture should be held in such esteem.

While there are some items that are drawn from earlier understanding, I testify that these things are not from the books of men and that any news items noted in this record always followed as confirmation of what has been shown.  There are a couple of points that are drawn from a Messianic perspective; but even these areas are more from a revelatory realm; as they have merely served as sign posts in the midst of what God is allowing by His mercy to be seen.  It will be helpful for you to navigate through the various links in order; as you read through this material. 

In late November / early December 2004 while rereading the book of Revelation I came across the place where it is written: "So I went to the angel and said to him, "Give me the little book."  And he said to me, "Take and eat it; and it will make your stomach bitter, but it will be as sweet as honey in your mouth."  Then I took the little book out of the angel’s hand and ate it, and it was as sweet as honey in my mouth. But when I had eaten it, my stomach became bitter.  And he said to me, “You must prophesy again about many peoples, nations, tongues, and kings.” (Rev. 10:9-11)

Stopping at that moment I prayed about eating the "little book", and then the Spirit of the Lord came. It was at this point that meanings behind the symbolism in this book began to be revealed.

It should be made abundantly clear that the Lord opening the understanding in my heart to any veiled prophetic scriptures in Revelation has nothing to do with me  (except I prayed about eating the little book).  It all has to do with the time being at hand for the fulfillment of scripture.   The Word Itself testifies that sealed prophecy is (for the most part) only unsealed when fulfillment takes place.  CLICK HERE for further explanation.

The Seal of the Holy Spirit

In Ezekiel 43:9-10 the Lord is speaking to the prophet and says "Now let them put their harlotry and the carcasses of their kings far away from Me, and I will dwell in their midst forever. Son of man, describe the temple to the house of Israel that they may be ashamed of their iniquities; and let them measure the pattern.

The Lord is emphasizing this. He is saying 'Show the condition of the church to the body of Christ.'

Ezekiel 9:4 "and the LORD said to him, Go through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem, and put a mark on the foreheads of the men who sigh and cry over all the abominations that are done within it."

Ezekiel 43:11 "And if they are ashamed of all that they have done, make known to them the design of the temple and its arrangement, its exits and its entrances, its entire design and all its ordinances, all its forms and all its laws."

God wants us to recognize the harlotry of the institutional church for what it is so that we might 1) Sigh and cry over all the abominations that are done within it. 2) Be marked or sealed for protection as Ezekiel 9:6 says "Utterly slay old and young men, maidens and little children and women; but do not come near anyone on whom is the mark; and begin at My sanctuary. So they began with the elders who were before the temple." THIS IS WHY THE VISIBLE PROPHETS ARE BEING DEALT WITH NOW. (begin with the elders)

Remember Revelation 18:4 says "And I heard another voice from heaven saying, Come out of her, my people, lest you share in her sins, and lest you receive of her plagues."

If we are not sighing over the abomination done within the house of God; we WILL share in her sins! We WILL receive of her plagues.  I am convinced by the Lord that one of the reasons the prophetic movement has fallen is brought forth in a warning from Paul to Timothy.  "Do not lay hands on anyone hastily, nor share in other people's sins; keep yourself pure."

Are you ashamed of all the abominations that have been done in the midst of the congregation of the Lord? If so then God will make known to you the design of the temple and its arrangement.

THE FOLLOWING IS A PROPHETIC CONFIRMATION OF WHAT THE LORD JESUS HAD ME POST ON 11-11-04 

DO NOT IGNORE THIS WARNING ANY LONGER

FOR DISTRIBUTION

This morning, upon waking, I had a brief “FLASH VISION”. What I saw was a single sheet of paper, about 2/3 full, with those words: just like you see it on this page. I knew that the Lord wanted me to blow the trumpet, and write the vision in a plain and simple manner, in obedience to Ezekiel 33. This is WHAT HAS ALREADY COMMENCED.

Ezekiel 9:4-6

4 "And the LORD said unto him, Go through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem, and set a mark upon the foreheads of the men that sigh and that cry for all the abominations that be done in the midst thereof. 5  And to the others he said in mine hearing, Go ye after him through the city, and smite: let not your eye spare, neither have ye pity: 6 Slay utterly old and young, both maids, and little children, and women: but come not near any man upon whom is the mark; and begin at my sanctuary. Then they began at the ancient men which were before the house."

STAGE 1: The “angel of the Lord” was instructed to “Go through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem, and set a mark upon the foreheads of the men that sigh and that cry for all the abominations that be done in the midst thereof.” THIS HAS COMMENCED. Others have confirmed, along with me, that they, too, have been “sealed in the forehead”: prepared in advance for what is about to occur. They know they have been marked by the Lord, set apart, and prepared for what is coming.

STAGE 2: The angels were instructed, with respect to their slaying, to “come not near any man upon whom is the mark; and begin at my sanctuary”. “Then they began at the ancient men which were before the house.” THIS HAS COMMENCED. I am receiving numerous reports concerning prophets and pastors who have been rejected by the Lord. Their hidden sins are being exposed. Some are resigning from the ministry, and others are going to die. This is occurring with all segments of the ministry. All the “ancient men in the house” are being examined, and judged. STAGE THREE WILL COMMENCE when the angels have finished their work.

STAGE 3: “Go ye after him through the city, and smite: let not your eye spare, neither have ye pity: 6 Slay utterly old and young, both maids, and little children, and women: but come not near any man upon whom is the mark.” STAGE 3 is THE WRATH OF GOD, upon the Earth, in fulfillment of Revelation 15: 1 "And I saw another sign in heaven, great and marvelous, seven angels having the seven last plagues; for in them is filled up the wrath of God." Those who have been marked by the Lord will be warned to flee, or will be escorted by the servants of the Lord to safe locations. In many cases, family members will be separated, one from another. The remnant has already, in many cases, been prepared for this, and comforted.

Stages 1 and 2 have certainly commenced with respect to THE UNITED STATES. This has been confirmed in the mouths of two or three witnesses. Other witnesses from Australia and Canada have also testified to these events.

A prophet of our Lord Jesus Christ
December 6, 2004

Between my initial post and Stephen Bening's confirmation almost a month later; I posted the following

THE FOUR BEASTS OF DANIEL 7

Having watched the evidence build since the release of the four hurricanes which hit the U.S. in the fall; the Lord quickened that this was a sign from Him that represented the full activation of the four beasts recorded in Daniel 7.

While there is some overlap in the political alliances outlined below; The Lord has shown that the changing nature in these coalitions represent the changing nature of the beasts (to avoid detection) recorded in Daniel and also in the book of Revelation.

Daniel spoke, saying, “I saw in my vision by night, and behold, the four winds of heaven were stirring up the Great Sea. And four great beasts came up from the sea, each different from the other. The first was like a lion, and had eagle’s wings. I watched till its wings were plucked off; and it was lifted up from the earth and made to stand on two feet like a man, and a man’s heart was given to it."

Hurricane Charley – is that which represents the U.S. (The Lion with Eagle’s wings represents the U.S. & British alliance).  This spelling of Charley is an old English word referring to night watchman or policeman.  The U.S. has been known as the world’s policeman over the last century.  While the scripture points to a breaking of this alliance in the future (how soon I don’t know); the U.S. as the dominant role is one of the four political entities pushing an Israeli / Palestinian peace plan.

“And suddenly another beast, a second, like a bear. It was raised up on one side, and had three ribs in its mouth between its teeth. And they said thus to it: ‘Arise, devour much flesh!’

Hurricane Ivan –this name is obviously referring to Russia (the bear); ‘raised up on one side’ representing the dominance of the Russian republic within the former Soviet nation.  Also Ivan (the terrible) is a reminder of the angel Terrible that Prophetess Susan Cummings has been referring to for quite some time.  Ivan also interestingly enough had landfall on Yom Kippur (representing the White Throne judgment of God).  Also like the powerful Soviet Union that disintegrated and has risen to some prominence as the Russian republic; Ivan became disorganized over the U.S. mainland only to move south again and reform over the Gulf of Mexico and then make land fall again as a tropical storm over Texas.  This is the second of four political entities pushing an Israeli / Palestinian peace plan.

“After this I looked, and there was another, like a leopard, which had on its back four wings of a bird. The beast also had four heads, (England France, Germany and Italy) and dominion was given to it."

Hurricane Frances –This name refers to the most vocal member of the European Union at this stage (France) the other three heads being Germany, Italy, and England.   Keep in mind as well that the U.S. – British alliance will not continue indefinitely, and that England is actually playing a dual role at this point and is in fact one of the four heads.  This (the EU) is the third of four political entities pushing for an Israeli / Palestinian peace plan.

“After this I saw in the night visions, and behold, a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, exceedingly strong. It had huge iron teeth; it was devouring, breaking in pieces, and trampling the residue with its feet. It was different from all the beasts that were before it, and it had ten horns.”

Hurricane Jeannie – The myth of genies comes from Persia.  Wondering about this last Thursday (11-18) an article called "The UN, Oil-For-Food and the Coming Prince" was posted. Quoting from this article:  “Because of the Islamic majority voting bloc at the UN, Saudi Arabia's abysmal human rights record is ignored…”   This was immediate confirmation of the identity of the fourth beast; the Islamic dominated U.N.; which is the fourth political entity pushing an Israeli / Palestinian peace plan.

To review: 

The four hurricanes that hit Florida in the fall of 2004 represent the four beasts spoken of in Daniel 7, and these in turn are the four political entities seeking to give land to the Palestinians that was given by God to the children of Israel.

They are:

            Hurricane Charley – 1st beast – U.S.

            Hurricane Ivan – 2nd beast – Russia

            Hurricane Frances – 3rd beast – European Union

            Hurricane Jeannie – 4th beast – The United Nations (dominated by Islam)

THUS SAYS THE LORD 'THE HURRICANES I SENT UPON FLORIDA ARE MY SIGN THAT THE FOUR BEAST IN THE VISION GIVEN TO MY SERVANT DANIEL ARE NOW SENT FORTH AND ACTIVE IN THE EARTH'

Some additional signs as God controls the signs in nature as this peace plan goes forth.

Arafat dies on 11/11 at 3:30 a.m. (Paris time)

As talks of a revived ‘Road Map’ came on the heels of Arafat’s death; almost immediately (within 24 hours) “Day turned to night across Shenyang (China) when a freak cloud formation 8,000 meters deep blanketed the northeastern city.   For over half-an-hour noon was as black as midnight. Cars, buses and lorries went someway to breaking up the darkness.  Tremendous lightening flashes accompanied the phenomena, reports the website.”

As talk of peace and the giving away of land continued over the next 36 hours (including a news conference by President Bush and Prime Minister Blair); approximately 30 earthquakes of a magnitude of 5.0 or greater occurred throughout the world…

11-22 – as Colin Powell was in the middle east; two events happened… 1) a swarm of locust (described in several articles as having biblical proportion.)  moved up from the Sinai peninsula over Israel and 2) an airplane that was to carry ex-president Bush to a conference crashed at Hobby airport in Houston Texas.  Initial reports are that the wing of the plane hit a light pole in a heavy fog.

I believe these four additional events are all directly related to the arrogance of pushing a peace plan on Israel requiring them to give up land given to them by God; and more is to come in what will most probably be increasing severity and frequency.

Right on the heels of this understanding of the four beasts; the Lord began to speak to my heart concerning the book of Revelation. While these last three months have been a time of intermittent fasting and continual prayer in order to write what you are reading; the initial understanding was all at once after eating the 'little book.'

Since the initial release of that understanding; the severity of the Tsunami has certainly born witness to the increase of God's judgment upon the earth and the lateness of the hour we live in.

As I began to write this; I was reminded of a major earthquake that happened in Turkey in August 1999 that heralded the beginnings of the shaking that is spoken of in Hebrews  "Now this, “Yet once more,” indicates the removal of those things that are being shaken, as of things that are made, that the things which cannot be shaken may remain."  The Spirit of the Lord spoke one word when this earthquake happened that bore witness because of a season of training I experienced among Messianic Jewish brethren...  The word the Lord spoke was Shevarie:  CLICK HERE ...and when I asked the Lord at that moment what He meant by this I heard: "For My Shofar even now blows in heavenly realms and even as the pace of the signal 'Shevarie' increases; so will My shakings increase.  For I am shaking the earth and am beginning Shevarie at the place where My first Apostles spread My Gospel among the gentiles."

Keeping these things and pondered them in my heart the Lord spoke soon after this and said "But, beloved, do not forget this one thing, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.  The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance."  My heart knew that 'concerning His promise' was speaking about the Lord's promise of His return.

I then remembered  that Rosh Hashanah (The Day of Blowing the Shofar), is actually a two day celebration; and is preceded by a hidden day called Yom HaKeseh a question formed in my spirit... If a day with the Lord is a thousand years; how long is an hour?  I quickly discovered with a calculator that 1000 years divided by 24 hours = 41.666 years.  Noticing the 666 I felt the Lord say you have calculated according to man's reckoning.   Remembering all the references to 40 years of testing in the bible and the 40 days of fasting by Moses and then by Jesus; I multiplied 40 by 24 and came up with 960 years and said Lord that doesn't fit what I think you're telling me, and then I was impressed by the Lord... 'now add My Father's hidden hour.  (Speaking from Peter's revelation of a day; not an earthly viewpoint).

Without date setting; as I continued over time to ponder this revelation of the 40 year 'hour' ; I perceived by the Holy Spirit that this in fact is represented by the 40 day time period known as Teshuva  CLICK HERE among the Jews...

When we understand then that "with the Lord one day is as a thousand years" we can see that it has been two days since our Lord Jesus walked this earth.  As many understand then; the words in Hosea 6:1-3 are seen differently; it is a revelation of the 'Third Day'...

Come, and let us return (Teshuva) to the LORD;

For He has torn, but He will heal us;

He has stricken, but He will bind us up.

After two days He will revive us;

On the third day He will raise us up,

That we may live in His sight.

Let us know,

Let us pursue the knowledge of the LORD.

His going forth is established as the morning;

He will come to us like the rain,

Like the latter and former rain to the earth.

Remember: while "He has torn... He will heal us" speaks specifically of, and to the Jewish people; we as Gentiles do share the same dimension of time and two days is the same whether it's to the Jew or to the Gentile.

We know then by the Holy Spirit as our Teacher that as the 'third day' approaches, and as the Torah states "the evening and the morning were the second day..." DARKNESS CLICK HERE is descending upon the earth; in the natural and in the spiritual.  For we understand that the natural must begin to give way to the spiritual even as we approach the evening (beginning) of the Third Day since Messiah walked the earth and the beginning of the Seventh Day since Almighty God brought forth creation.

Joel 2:22-23 says -

"Do not be afraid, you beasts of the field;

For the open pastures are springing up,

And the tree bears its fruit;

The fig tree (Israel) and the vine (the Body of Christ) yield their strength.

Be glad then, you children of Zion,

And rejoice in the LORD your God;

For He has given you the former rain faithfully, (the prior moves of God)

And He will cause the rain to come down for you—

The former rain,

And the latter rain in the first month.*

We now see several things coming together at once:

    1. We are approaching the 'Third Day' - pointing to the return of Christ

        a. evening is upon us (a picture of the 'falling away')

            which will be discussed later

     2. This 'Third Day' also coincides with the beginning of the "first month"

        a. an abundance of rain is coming: the former rain, and the latter rain

    3. The fruit of late summer is here

        a. the 'fig tree (Israel) and the vine (the Body of Christ) yield their strength.'

IF there is a correlation between the Jewish 'Days of Awe' and the last ten years of history before Christ's return; then we are somewhere at the beginning of the 'first month' or the last ten days (years) of the Father's forty year hidden hour and much is beginning to shake (Shevarie) in earnest expectation. It is time for the spirit of Elijah in the Father's true prophets to call for an abundance of rain; for the false prophets of Baal are soon to be expelled from the body; and the battle with Jezebel in the church is about to be turned over to a double portion of Elijah.

In these things I testify in the Name of Christ; I do not know the exact moment; I only testify in an Issachar anointing; that I know the season, and I perceive in part what we as God's people ought to do in this hour.

I testify in the Lord that we are truly at the 'end of the beginning and the beginning of the end' just as Prophetess Susan Cummings proclaimed in October of 2004.  For the Lamb of God slain "before the foundation of the world" who by His Own Great Mercy allowed Himself to be caught in the thicket of our sin; was offered up as a Ransom for all the children of Promise; even as Abraham found the ram in the thicket of thorns and offered him in the place of his child of promise...

And so the Ministry that began with the blowing of THE Ram's Horn is drawing to a close; even as the first trump has been blowing since the beginning of time.  As it was heard on Mt. Sinai signaling Tekia louder and louder at the giving of the Law, and was felt in a mighty rushing wind at the giving of the Spirit; so even now at the close of the ages the signal changes to Shevarie, and the trembling begins.

For the sons and daughters of mankind are now in the crucible of the Father's hidden hour, and no one knows when it began and when it will end.  All you who tremble at His Word; call on Him while He is near; and seek Him while He may be found; for when Teruah sounds... the door of His grace will close.

Having Ears to Hear

Before sharing any further concerning what the Lord is speaking; it is important to consider this scripture from Ezekiel 3:27 - "But when I speak with you, I will open your mouth, and you shall say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord GOD.’ He who hears, let him hear; and he who refuses, let him refuse; for they are a rebellious house."

We are all in a time and place where everything that we've learned in the realm of men that is not rooted in the TRUTH should pass away.  We should be walking in such a way where we are continually "pulling down strongholds, casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ..."

Our hearts must have such a love for the Truth (Jesus) that if necessary; everything we have defined in the past is only held forth after being thoroughly examined by the Word of God.  Through the Spirit of Truth; every doctrine must stand on the Rock and on the Rock alone, and then as the "Holy Spirit teaches, comparing spiritual things with spiritual..." we are "filled with the knowledge of His will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding"

Having said this we have entered a time that for the sake of all whom the Lord will call; we are being held to a greater accountability than before.  We need to have not only discernment in what we are hearing, but a greater level of discretion in how we share.

We should share or communicate based on:

1. What we know from the Lord to be True... 

    (Confirmation is a very good thing at this point; 2 Peter 1:19-21).

2. What we believe to be True as a result of our time spent

    seeking the Lord on what we've heard.

3. What is possible or even probable as a result of our time spent seeking the Lord on what we've heard, OR taking into account the thoughts of others concerning conclusions that have been reached from scripture and/or current events.

While these certainly seem like very elementary principles; it is the abandonment of principles like these that have led many to dispise prophecy. 

More on the "Hidden Hour"

It is important to have a clearer picture from scripture concerning the 'hidden hour' previously mentioned; as most reading this would be inclined to point out Jesus' words in Matthew 24:36 - “But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, but My Father only."  Some have gone too far in the interpretation of what Jesus said to make it mean basically that we wouldn't have a clue about the timing of His second coming at all.

As light is carefully shed on this season; it is critical to remember that scripture interprets scripture and that "ALL  Scripture is given by inspiration of God..."  This being said Jesus commanded us to "Take heed, watch and pray; for you do not know when the time is."

1 Thessalonians 5:1-6 tells us we will know what time it is IF we are watching and praying as Jesus instructed us to do:  "But concerning the times and the seasons, brethren, you have no need that I should write to you. For you yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so comes as a thief in the night. For when they say, “Peace and safety!” then sudden destruction comes upon them, as labor pains upon a pregnant woman. And they shall not escape. But you, brethren, are not in darkness, so that this Day should overtake you as a thief. You are all sons of light and sons of the day. We are not of the night nor of darkness. Therefore let us not sleep, as others do, but let us watch and be sober.

The Clock is Ticking

Knowing that the timing of the Lord is EXACTLY determined by His sovereign will; we see that He gave a specific time for His first coming and a season that would herald His second coming.

The specific time was given thru the Prophet Daniel in the prophecy about the seventy weeks...

“Know therefore and understand,
That from the going forth of the command
To restore and build Jerusalem
Until Messiah the Prince,
There shall be seven weeks and sixty-two weeks;
The street shall be built again, and the wall,
Even in troublesome times." Daniel 9:25

For more on the specific time of this CLICK HERE

So then if we see that Daniel 9:25 provided a point in time when the clock began to tick counting down the specific time that is related to the first coming of Jesus; the question that should be asked is; did the Lord provide another point in time when the clock would begin to tick again and indicate the season of the Lord's second coming?

Looking again at the statement made by the Lord Jesus in Matthew 24; the answer from the Lord is clear.  “Now learn this parable from the fig tree: When its branch has already become tender and puts forth leaves, you know that summer is near.  So you also, when you see all these things, know that it is near—at the doors!" 

Having already seen from scripture that Israel is that fig tree (see again Joel 1:6-7) ; we can assume by the fact that it has tender branches and is putting forth leaves; that the tree is planted in the ground, and since Jeremiah 31:35-37 below says that the nation of Israel will exist as long as the "the sun (exists) for a light by day, (and) the ordinances of the moon and the stars for a light by night..." then the REPLANTED fig tree (nation of Israel) exists in these last days.

Thus says the LORD,

Who gives the sun for a light by day,

The ordinances of the moon and the stars for a light by night,

Who disturbs the sea,

And its waves roar

(The LORD of hosts is His name):

“If those ordinances depart

From before Me, says the LORD,

Then the seed of Israel shall also cease

From being a nation before Me forever.”

Thus says the LORD:

“If heaven above can be measured,

And the foundations of the earth searched out beneath,

I will also cast off all the seed of Israel

For all that they have done, says the LORD.

In Matthew 24:29-30 Jesus said "Immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken. Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. " Right after this he speaks of the fig tree...

Even Revelation 6:13 ties the stars to the existence of Israel till almost the very end.  "And the stars of heaven fell to the earth, as a fig tree drops its late figs when it is shaken by a mighty wind."   This speaks to the harvest of souls among the Jews when the hour is very late.  In fact the scripture in Jeremiah connects the existence of Israel as a nation to the stars falling

Does the re-birth of Israel as a nation in 1948 really mark a point in time when the clock began to tick again and if so where is the confirmation in the Word of God?  To see what the Lord has hidden in His word that marks the beginning of this season of His second coming; CLICK HERE
 

Based upon this clear biblical sign hidden in the account of Genesis; I think we can conclude that the rebirth of the nation of Israel can be likened to the Lord again pushing a button allowing the clock to tick again.  Unlike the prophecy recorded in Daniel; this time the Lord did NOT give a specific time but instead indicated a season that we were to be mindful of thru watching and praying because "the day of the Lord so comes as a thief in the night."

In Matthew 24:34-37; Jesus says "Assuredly, I say to you, this generation will by no means pass away till all these things take place. Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will by no means pass away. “But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, but My Father only. But as the days of Noah were, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be."

The length of the season that the Lord indicated is in itself still completely veiled and will continue to remain veiled as the Lord prophesied that "this generation will by no means pass away till all these things take place." What generation was the Lord referring to when He said "this generation?"  Knowing from the context of the prophecy; we can be certain that the Lord was speaking of the generation that saw the re-birth of Israel in the land given to them by the Father.  But how long is a generation? The bible gives several possibilities... 40 - 70 or more years?  This is man's way of reckoning, and even if we knew for certain how long a generation was; we would still have the question of when this generation began.  Is it the generation that was born in 1948; or is it the generation that included the original leaders in Israel at the time of re-birth?

This is where we will (if God permits) speak from the Word, and from prophecy, and from prophetic experiences; as the "Holy Spirit teaches, comparing spiritual things with spiritual..."

I was before the Lord one day last fall (2004); wondering about the questions concerning this generation when I began thinking about a possible trip to our nation's capital.   At that moment I was taken there by the Spirit in a vision and was flying over the city; when I saw the new World War II memorial passing underneath and inquired of the Lord what this was about; I then heard the Spirit say "This generation shall not pass away till all is fulfilled."  As I pondered what this meant an unction rose up in me that said the generation that fought WW II would still be alive at the Lord's return.  To read what I consider to be a clear confirmation of this prophetic word: CLICK HERE

One more note about timing leads me to share a threefold warning from the Word of God that all convey the same meaning and speak concerning the judgment and wrath of Almighty God about to be poured out in the earth.

Picking up almost where we left of in Matthew 24... "But as the days of Noah were, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be."  If we look at the days of Noah we will see that Yahweh in His sovereign will had marked the end of that generation with these words: "And the LORD said, "My Spirit shall not strive with man forever, for he is indeed flesh..."

As the standards of His Holy Word were continually violated the LORD GOD declared to His prophet Amos - "I am setting a plumb line In the midst of My people Israel; I will not pass by them anymore."

The Apostle Paul standing in the midst of the debauchery of ancient Athens was provoked in his spirit declaring - "Therefore, since we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Divine Nature is like gold or silver or stone, something shaped by art and man’s devising. Truly, these times of ignorance God overlooked, but now commands all men everywhere to repent, because He has appointed a day on which He will judge the world in righteousness by the Man whom He has ordained.”

This appointed day on which God will judge the world is I believe approaching sooner than many think.  Late last summer (2004) Oral Roberts had a vision that he said was a "wake up call" from the Lord for the body of Christ.  This being the case; it would I think be proper and in context to place this "wake up call" in the parable of the ten virgins that Jesus speaks of in Matthew 25.  "And at midnight a cry was heard: ‘Behold, the bridegroom is coming; go out to meet him!’  Then all those virgins arose and trimmed their lamps."  As Oral Roberts continues to expound on this vision; it appears from what he shared that it is clear to him that the church is NOT ready for the time ahead. For a partial transcript of the vision he received; CLICK HERE

And so as we approach the culmination of all things written in the bible; (as scripture in the book of Revelation is beginning to be unsealed);  I must share an example of the PLUMBLINE and show how many believers in the institutional church, and those who have come out will NOT be kept from the hour of trial except they draw near to the one who is THE WAY-THE TRUTH & THE LIFE:  IT IS TIME TO ANSWER THE "WAKE UP CALL." 

Please CLICK HERE to better understand the BANNER OF THE KING that the Lord is calling us to be under, as we need to prepare and re-deploy for the time ahead; as clearly a battle is brewing on the horizon of time.

Following the order of the Spirit; we will return to the BANNER OF THE KING at the end of this release.

The Third Temple

A Dwelling Place of God in the Spirit

As we approach the end of the age; we need to understand that there is a natural (false) temple being built and at the same time there is also a dwelling place of God in the Spirit being built.   The THIRD TEMPLE - CLICK HERE is I believe a parallel manifestation of the temple of the flesh that the body of Christ has been building for years.  Certainly the institutional church has been used by the Lord in the past, and still fulfills a purpose for the Lord, but where the excesses of the flesh are concerned; God "now commands all men everywhere to repent."

The third temple that will be built by the Jews and the official church that includes everything from Roman Catholicism to the newest non-denominational church could both be placed in the same general category, and here is the qualifier... If it is not "built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ Himself being the chief cornerstone," then God has NOT built the building.   Obviously the third temple that the Jews desire to build will not be on the foundation of Christ, and tragically most of what is being built by Christians today is not on the foundation of Christ either.

I remember a brother who had years of experience in construction shared how EVERYTHING in the framework of laying the foundation was oriented towards the cornerstone and how careful one needs to be in order to insure perfect alignment with the cornerstone. 

Psalm 118:22 says -

The stone which the builders rejected
Has become the chief cornerstone. 

The tragic truth of the modern age church is that in many ways the builders have once again rejected the "chief cornerstone" as modern leadership in some churches has drifted into a pattern reminiscent of the Pharisees who stood in opposition to Jesus' ministry and then the ministry of the apostles. 

We know though that there still is a "Dwelling Place of God in the Spirit" that is being built by the Holy Spirit in an obedient remnant.  This 'dwelling place' will not look like any thing that is visible from a worldly viewpoint and is described by Paul in Ephesians 2:19-22 - "Now, therefore, you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God, having been built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ Himself being the chief cornerstone, in whom the whole building, being fitted together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord, in whom you also are being built together for a dwelling place of God in the Spirit."

THE THIRD PULL  CLICK HERE is a vision given to the body of Christ for discernment and instruction about what the final positioning of His church will look like as we approach the hour of trial coming on the earth.

To summarize; there were several things verified by the "Third Pull" vision, the "Bottleneck" vision, the Ascending the Mountain dream, Prophet Bob Jones' interpretation of the 'Third Pull', and Brother Michael's dream:

 1.  THEY ALL SPEAK OF A  GREAT HARVEST IN THE LAST DAYS

 2.  IT IS A WIDE SPREAD 'GREATER WORKS' HARVEST

 3.  IT IS OUTSIDE THE ECCLESIASTICAL  AUTHORITY OF THE

      INSTITUTIONAL CHURCH AND OUTSIDE THE  PUBLIC VENUE

 4.  THE BATTLE LINES IN THE CHURCH ARE DRAWN AROUND

      THE HEADSHIP AUTHORITY OF JESUS CHRIST

 5.  IT WILL INVOLVE A HARVEST OF LABORERS FIRST

 6.  AS THE ERROR HAS HAPPENED OVER TIME; ENTRENCHED LEADERSHIP

      DOES NOT PERCEIVE THE LOSS OF BIBLICAL PRIORITIES  (THEY DON'T WANT

      THE HARVEST IN THE HIGHWAYS AND BYWAYS see Matthew 22:9-10)

 7.  THE YOUTHFUL LAST GENERATION OF LABORERS WILL PERCEIVE

      THE VALUE OF THE GREATER HARVEST

NOTE:  WHILE 'PART TWO' (below) WILL NARROW THE TIME FRAME FOR THE RETURN OF THE LORD EVEN MORE... IT SHOULD BE CLEARLY STATED THAT THE RETURN OF THE LORD IS DIRECTLY TIED TO THE OBEDIENCE OF THE LORD'S DISCIPLES TO GO INTO THE HIGHWAYS AND FILL THE WEDDING HALL MENTIONED IN MATTHEW 22:9-10 ABOVE...  

THE FOREKNOWLEDGE OF MAN'S FREEWILL OBEDIENCE TO THIS DIRECTIVE WILL ALWAYS AND ONLY BE A REVELATION BELONGING TO THE FATHER ALONE... ANY EXACT DATE SETTING SHOULD ALWAYS BE REJECTED AS HERESY SINCE NO MAN CAN POSSIBLY KNOW WHEN THE WEDDING HALL WILL BE FILLED WITH GUESTS.

I AM CONVINCE THOUGH; AS I'M SURE MANY OF YOU ARE AS WELL; THAT THE TIME WE ARE EVEN NOW ENTERING INTO WILL BE A TIME WHEN MANY ACCEPT THE INVITATION TO THE BANQUETING TABLE

As the Spirit of Judgment and the Spirit of Burning that the FATHER is now beginning to visit His people with intensifies; the remnant that the Father in His GRACE preserve through this time; will be a Bride made ready.

Before continuing onto part two of this release; a couple of points should be restated first.

The purpose of this release is to:

1. Cry out for a return to the Headship authority of Christ

2. Re-emphasize a "wake-up call" to the body of Christ

3. Demonstrate the lateness of the hour in which we are living

4. Show the condition of the church to the body of Christ.

5. Re-introduce prophetic vision that points to reformation of the

    church & a genuine framework of biblical government

6. Show the prophetic necessity of this reformation framing the

    need for this paradigm shift within this late hour

7. Bring practical vision for reformation to the church so that in the

    midst of great tribulation we will by God's grace:

            a. be in a place of victory instead of defeat

            b. reap the largest harvest of souls ever   

            c. be a Bride who has made herself ready

While some would say the lateness of the hour would negate any real triumph of these purposes; defeat only truly becomes defeat when there is no effort... Remember the servant who buried the talent.

In part two we will begin to look at the characteristics and make-up of the beast that the Prophet Daniel and the Apostle John both saw...
