Time is Almost Up

The Lord has moved upon my spirit and revealed: "great danger fast approaches". It is a well-known fact that danger is always lurking somewhere in this world, but my understanding is that all nations, all the people of the earth and particularly God's people are to be on high alert.

I am no alarmist, and many times when there have been false prophetic warnings giving dates in the past, the Lord would have me post "Not today..."

What exactly it (pending danger) is I do not know, but there is a deep urgency to warn the people to seek God and to repent, if necessary, and most importantly, to do His will. This is not to put anyone into the bondage of fear, although there will be those who will say so. Who can blame them with all the false prophecies the world has been subjected to?

Jonah was sent to tell the people to repent in Nineveh, but he did not want to. Instead, he hopped on a ship going in the opposite direction. When a storm came, the crew knew that someone was aboard that had angered God. Jonah confessed and was tossed out into the sea where a large fish swallowed him up.

I am sure the entire crew believed Jonah died, but he did not. Three days he stayed in the dark, smelly, acidic belly of that fish, only to be spewed (vomited) out on the third day. Jonah immediately went to Nineveh and warned the people.

He knew that if he warned the people and they repented that God would stay His hand and not send His judgment upon them. Jonah did not want to look like a fool to the people, or to look like a false prophet. He ran, rather than have to face the people once they repented and questioned his prophetic word.

(NOTE* added this day – April 27, 2020: It should also be noted that Nineveh had given Israel a very difficult time and were known enemies of Israel. This may well have been the main reason that inspired Jonah to disobey. BP2020)

Great Deception

Those of us who follow Christ closely know what the Word of God says, and we know that the main warning of Jesus (Matthew 24) that would be the mightiest weapon in Satan's arsenal in the last of the last days is great deception. 

However, the Holy Scriptures also warn of unprecedented, cataclysmic natural events also, whether they be meteors, asteroids, volcanoes, earthquakes, tsunamis, storms of great winds (hurricanes, cyclones, tornadoes etc). Global war is nearly upon us, economic collapse a reality and so much more.

Domino Effect

Once these things begin, it shall be as a domino effect. There will be no man, no government, no nation, who will be able to put a stop to it; only God can. 

For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers (different, unusual) places.  All these are the beginning of sorrows.  [Mat 24:7,8]

The Word tells us also that in the latter times, events would be as a woman in travail, with labor pains that increase in intensity and frequency, until her time comes. So it shall be with the events happening that we were forewarned about, and truly, things ARE intensifying and becoming more frequent. The whole earth is in travail!

In great humility, we must seek Him for direction, discernment and truth. He will answer us and lead us in the way that we should go.

Yet, the Lord also let us know that He has secrets that are His alone, but if He so chooses to reveal them to us, they belong to us, so that we may be obedient to Him. He reveals in order to lead us, to direct our paths.

The secret things belong unto the Lord our God: but those things which are revealed belong unto us and to our children forever, that we may DO all the words of this law. [Deut 29:29]

For He shall give His angels charge over you, to keep you in all your ways.  

[Ps 91:11] 

The holy angels are at His command, to do His will. He sends them out as He sees fit, for He is omniscient and wise. He is telling His people to repent, to seek Him now with all our heart and soul.

He is warning us urgently and strongly right now about great tribulation, great trouble, great danger upon the peoples of the world, in every nation. No one can judge what horrible thing will take place next. Only God alone knows. 

It is all happening very quickly in these latter days. Hardly a day goes by now, when some tragedy, some event does not take place. He will lead us to be there for others and He will lead others to be there for us, in times of trouble. 

Who knows if He would not send an angel in human form to help us when there is no help around. Never underestimate God's ways or power. Who can know the mind of God?  We who love Jesus and abide in Him have the mind of Christ, which is to do (obey) the will of the Father.

But if you from then you shall seek the Lord your God, you shall find Him, if you seek Him with all your heart and with all your soul. When you are in tribulation, and all these things are come upon you, even in the latter days, if you turn to the Lord your God, and shall be obedient unto His voice;

(For the Lord your God is a merciful God); He will not forsake you, neither destroy you, nor forget the covenant of your Fathers which He swore unto them.
 [Deut 4:29] 

Brethren and friends, an urgency is in my spirit. God always gives warnings within a fair time frame. This is so that we can be prepared, but more importantly, to not walk in fear.

We are to walk in a strong faith that seeks Him desperately, knowing that He loves us. Keep in prayer and read the Word of God. He is speaking to all of us who have ears to hear; who are willing to listen and obey. 

He has been warning for years now. Time is almost up!

Or has God assayed (determined, attempted) to go and take Him a nation from the midst of another nation, by temptations, by signs, and by wonders, and by war, and by a mighty hand, and by a stretched out arm, and by great terrors, according to all that the Lord your God did for you in Egypt before your eyes?

Unto you it was shown, that you might know that the LORD He is God; there is none else beside Him. Out of heaven He made you to hear His voice, that He might instruct you: [...]  [Deut 4:34, 35]

Something horrific is coming which will begin the domino effect. That is why the Lord has placed an urgency regarding "danger" upon my heart (and the hearts of others).

There is still time because the Lord always issues "fair warning", but think again, He has been warning for a very long time now. He has been most patient, very longsuffering, but the time is about upon us.

Seek God humbly; pour out your heart to Him in faith, not fear. Wait upon Him to answer and direct you. It is not the time to go off half-cocked in fear and crazy imaginations. Yet, do not do the opposite, which is to ignore His warning.

All I know at this time is that whatever it is that will push that first domino must be sooner upon us than we care to admit or acknowledge, but we who believe have always known that the day would come when His Word is fulfilled in its entirety. Fast and pray if you are so led, but do seek the Lord whilst He can be found. Call upon Him now, whilst He will still answer.

Please do not ignore His warnings, which He gives out of love. Repent now, if you know there is anything that you must repent of. When he calls us and reprimands us or shows His disapproval in anything, accept it and be obedient to His leading.

Heed these words, I solemnly urge you. He also warns of the consequences of not seeking Him when He calls us, and not following His counsel.

How long, you simple ones, will you love simplicity? and the scorners delight in their scorning, and fools hate knowledge? Turn you at My reproof: behold, I will pour out My Spirit upon you, I will make known My words unto you. Because I have called, and you refused; I have stretched out My hand, and no man regarded;

But you have set at nought (as nothing) all My counsel, and would have none of My reproof: I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your fear comes;

When your fear comes as desolation, and your destruction comes as a whirlwind; when distress and anguish come upon you. Then shall they call upon Me, but I will not answer; they shall seek Me early, but they shall not find Me: For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the Lord:

They would have none of My counsel: they despised all My reproof. Therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way, and be filled with their own devices. For the turning away of the simple shall slay them, and the prosperity of fools shall destroy them.

But whoso hearkens (listens) unto Me shall dwell safely, and shall be quiet from fear of evil.
Selah  [Prov 1:22-33]

A loving parent always corrects and disciplines their child out of love. Our Creator always corrects and forewarns out of HIS love. The rest is up to us. Just as a good child does not want to sadden their parents and thus obeys them, so should we, the created, desire not to grieve the heart of the Creator, but rather to return His love by simply obeying and honouring Him.

Jesus answered and said unto him (Judas, NOT Iscariot), If a man love Me, he will keep My words: and My Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode in Him. [Jn 14:23]

We love Him because He first loved us. [1Jn 4:19] 

for His glory

Addendum - What I had written to a dear sister and friend in England is this (and I believe it is worth posting):

Britain, United States, Canada, Ireland, Scotland (UK that is), New Zealand, Australia...so many nations; it's almost as though the Lord's warning is indeed for the entire world. China, Russia, N. and S. Korea, Philippines, Cuba, Venezuela, Jamaica, Haiti, Columbia...[all] the Islands. I truly sense every nation, every people, every clan and tribe...needs to be on alert.

I could go on...India, Taiwan, Greece, Italy, Israel, Saudi Arabia, Iran, Iraq...onward. ALL [nations] need to repent and draw close to God and let Him lead.  Original post: Time is Almost Up
