2025 is the Chinese "Year of the Snake" (Satan is often considered a serpent, mostly because of the Garden of Eden, when the serpent tempted Eve and deceived her with his seductions. Then Adam disobeyed. The thief came to steal, kill, and destroy.)
2024 was the Chinese "Year of the Dragon"
2012 was the Chinese "Year of the Snake". It was the year Obama was reelected for a second term. The day after he won, the Lord said to me: "Now it begins..." I knew that he meant that now things would begin to happen slowly. The push was made, and things would begin slowly, building momentum in time.
The 'domino effect' or the 'snowball effect' were the pictures given, particularly the domino effect. First mentioned in 2008 in 'We Overcome'.
In 2012, being the "snake" year where we are told, "Now it begins" - the downhill slope where 'dominoes' will topple 'one by one', until things happen so fast that nothing but God Himself can stop it.
Late 2012, early 2013, it was made clear that the "time of revealing" also going to begin moving faster (toward the falling away scripture warns about) with judgment having already begun in the house of God. At the time I started a program on BlogTalk Radio called, Time of Revealing, which later became, W.O.E. in the TIR. (Warriors of Endurance in the Time of Revealing)
A website that was gifted to me was called, Time of Revealing. Unfortunately (and I had no idea), the gift paid a company to set the site up, with drop-down menus, and search menu, language translator available, and more (it was a nice site), but I did not know the upkeep would be so expensive and I had to let it go.
Praise God for this site.
Time of Revealing - Now It Begins
There has always been corruption in the church with false prophets and false priests (ministers), as well as false brethren.[Gal 2:4; 2Cor 11:26] The apostles had to deal with it. But even Elijah,Jeremiah, Isaiah, and all the other godly true prophets had to deal with the infiltration of counterfeits, and people stealing their words etc.
Therefore, behold, I AM against the prophets, saith the Lord, that steal My words from every one from his neighbor. Behold, I AM against the prophets, says the Lord, that use their tongues, and say, He saith. [Jer 23:30-31]
In 2010, the alleged three-day fling between Benny
Hinn and Paula White in Rome, coming out of a hotel holding hands. The article where the Boston
Globe exposed the sexual abuse scandal that rocked the Catholic church. In 2011, Rob
Bell and his apostasy and false doctrines were revealed, which shook the Christian community at the time.
The revealing of the falling away over the past 12 years, up to and including the "dragon" year, has only increased, continuing on into 2025. In this "dragon" year, Satan wreaked havoc in every arena, including an failed assassination attempt.
Through the Holy Spirit, I understood that Satan/Lucifer would try to fully claim the year 2024 as his, but would not because in his pride, he is blinded to the fact that God is still in control. However, 12 years have passed, and we have come FULL CIRCLE, arriving back to another "Year of the Snake".
Satan has a 'chosen one', just as God had an only begotten Son, Jesus. Satan is eager to reveal his 'choice'. He will be charismatic, full of smooth words and flattery. How many false prophets do that? They win people over by stroking their ego, lifting them high with flattery, and expressing how 'grateful' they are to even be in their company (paraphrased - they are wiser in their selection of words).
And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light [2Cor11:14]
 |
| Year of the Snake (again) | | |
|
Satan/Lucifer exalts himself on high and demands to be worshiped. He likes to appear as pleasant and harmless, even attractive, but his pride and evil heart corrupted the beauty in which God created him as. His countenance and everything about him is pure darkness. He is so dark that details are blurred and undefinable. He has crowned himself as king and lord of the world - the 'god' of this world (temporary power that God has allowed)
He has a dark kingdom that he rules, yet he insists he is the morning star (a day star of light). The prince of darkness has legions, armies at his command, and a hierarchy is in place, both in the spiritual and in the physical (in the occult, in the covens, in tribes). Also, in the churches, false prophets, false teachers, wolves in sheep's clothing, false brethren, double agents, et al.
Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works. [2cor 11:15]
We are so close to the rapture, but when? I used to be post-trib, then pre-trib... now, I am not sure, and the Lord is not saying. I am just expectant and waiting. Maranatha Lord, maranatha!
Not knowing what lies ahead in a manner of speaking is a relief because I can just lean upon Jesus - Yeshua to take me one day at a time. Meanwhile, I keep oil in my lamp, and hopefully, shine a light into this darkness and point to the empty cross, and then point to the heavens, to watch and await the return of the resurrected and ascended Messiah. Hallelujah
Meanwhile, we keep reaching out to others, and watching and praying.
It does not take a rocket scientist or a prophetic person to see that trouble is clearly coming. Thank God for loving us so much as to prepare a book for us so that we could come to know Him, and understand the Godhead (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit), and know why there is so much evil, who our enemies are, and what to expect in these last days.
Meanwhile, we will watch the serpent, adversary, Satan/Lucifer change before our eyes, particularly the children of light who have good spiritual eyesight, with the help of the Holy Spirit.
Yes, but let us be cautious because the snake is slippery, crafty and subtle. Yeshua forewarned that if it were possible even the elect will be deceived. [Mat24:24-25] To the world he will appear as an attractive specimen, we are warned not to be moved by what we see.
He deceives people into seeing him as light, as pure (white), but darkness swirls around him; he is darkness. El Shaddai (Yahweh) will cause him to be revealed at the appointed time, when the restrainer is removed. His children will see his true colours all along, despite his chameleon efforts.What others see will be an illusion or delusion - both are deception...which is Satan/Lucifer's masterpiece - his weapon of choice.
Meanwhile,
we keep reaching out to the lost, and the prodigals, and the
backsliders, doing our best to snatch them away from the fire, and out
of Satan's clutches...to point them to the cross of Jesus, who came and
died for us.
He
is resurrected and soon returning. I cannot think of anyone that I
would not want to see saved. I remember where Jesus/Yeshua delivered me
from, and His extreme patience
 |
come to the cross of Jesus
|
I am glad God chose not to tell us the appointed time for the rapture. How else could we go day by day? Jesus said we would have signs, and even told us what to look for. We can know the season, but not the day or the hour. With all the time zones and the international date line, we would all be confused anyway. (chuckles)
But as for this year, when trouble does come, it will be as the days of Noah. People will be eating, drinking, marrying, doing business as usual.
Typically the Lord has impressed upon me what to expect, but never a prophesy like a fortuneteller. The Lord has wearied of people running to this person and that person for a prophetic word instead of coming to Him.
One time I understood Jesus to say that multitudes of people have traded in daily horoscopes for daily "prophetic" words. And the "prophets" will provide a daily word because it keeps the money rolling in. According to these prophets, the Lord even gives them 'daily words' to record for times they are AWAY.
[NOTE*: I have to add this. It is written in the archives, but to spare the reader from going down this rabbit tunnel to the next, suffice it to say. It is written: Do not despise 'prophesying' [1Thes 5:20]. The problem occurs when a daily run to a favourite source takes place before meeting with God first. I also do not see where the ancient prophets had a daily word, including a prepared one for when they would be away...anything can happen in a day. Think things through...the Holy Spirit will lead...let us be patient and wait on the Lord - BP2025]
God has been calling people to repentance as far back as the days of Noah. It may have started with Adam and Eve, after they were escorted out of the Garden of Eden, but that is pure speculation.Jesus tells us to follow Him. That means we need to pick up our cross daily, which simply means to crucify the desires of the flesh so that we do not give into temptation and sin. Satan or any one of his demons will try to seduce us through the lust of the eyes, the lust of the flesh, or the pride of life.
But repeatedly, the Holy Spirit has led me to write that God is calling each of us to spend more intimate time with Him. And no, it is not about 'works' as some would jump in and say, but we aren't just supposed to sit around and twiddle our thumbs.
There are some commandments, some things God expects us to do as His children. Be holy as He is, which means 'set apart' (from the world). Be perfect, which means we are to grow and become perfect = whole, mature, complete.
Abba really does not ask much of us. Jesus gave up everything for us. I finally got to the place where everything is surrendered to Jesus. It is all His anyway - always was. It just took me 70 years to figure it out lol... (Of course, I am playing -- it only took 67 years [cheeky grin])
He desires to speak to each one of us, if we can believe it. All His children are special to Him. Prayerfully open your Bible. If a scripture verse or a book and chapter come to mind, go there.
The Holy Spirit will lead you. The Word of God is alive; it is Spirit and it is truth. We have to guard ourselves that we do not make social media an idol, or to make your favourite "prophetic" person your idol. Social media has become so competitive. Everyone making sure they are on every platform so their 'supporters' know where to find them for their daily 'prophetic' word.
Be careful - it is a strong temptation, a hidden snare that any one of us can get caught up in. Time is shorter...we need to strengthen our relationship with the Lord now.
About this post...
This was originally posted SEVEN [7] years ago on January 1, 2018. It was posted again in 2020. There was also one other article I wrote with the "Great and Terrible" in the title. It comes from scripture and is mentioned at least 104 times in the Bible, in 11 or more verses (depending on various translations).
Most often it is referring to the living God, the 'great', the 'mighty', the 'terrible', the 'exceedingly strong', etc. [Deut 1:19; 10:17; Neh 1:5; 4:14; et al]
It is also used to speak of the 'wilderness', with fiery serpents, scorpions, and drought [Deut8:15]. The prophet Daniel used the words to describe an image, as well as a fourth beast. [Dan 2:31; 7:7]
But it was also used by the prophet Joel, in reference to the "great and terrible" day of the Lord (when the sun darkens, and the moon is as blood). [Joel 2:31]
The archaic meaning had more to do with 'reverence' or 'to be feared' when it was connected to God. However, when the words are used to describe a wilderness, beasts, and the day of the Lord, it is understood that the writer speaks of something frightful, fearful unto trembling as in afraid.
It is an expression that one needs to pay close attention to how the writer is using it to describe the Lord, or the Lord's hand in what is being referenced. The fear of the Lord is indeed the beginning of wisdom. [Prov 9:10]
The explanation as to how I came about using it is written below. Woven throughout the archive, in numerous articles, I try to share with the reader the importance of keeping a healthy fear of the Lord. It is as crucial as repentance.
It leaves me without explanation when I recall the days that I had no fear of the Lord. Only a blind, foolish sinner, deceived either by self (through pride and sin), or by the adversary (the master deceiver, the father of lies, Satan).
I need eternity to offer thanksgiving and praise to King Yeshua (precious Jesus) for salvation, and for teaching and guiding His children into all truth. He delivers us from the clutches of Satan when we have faith to believe, and accept the free gift of salvation by grace.
RE-POST: from January 1, 2017
On the Verge of the Great and Terrible

On the verge of the great and terrible, but remember, the winds still must obey Jesus/Yeshua, and He still calms the raging seas. [BP2025]
The title for this word came through a sister in Christ who
lives in the United States, who was speaking as led by the most holy Spirit of
the true God. She graciously granted me permission to use her words for the
title, giving the glory to God alone! (thank
you Donna L. – much love and gratitude
to you).
(NOTE* [comment added in re-post]: I cannot remember what scripture my beloved sister-in-Christ was reading, but it came up in our conversation. Also, I am going to only post fragments, or post what I feel led to post. This is prayerfully submitted because there are some other snippets (not from the Great and Terrible that I will add, as the Lord wills -BP2025)
A Word from the Lord
Regarding 2018
(This word from the Lord began after prayer in the sixth
hour of the day (morning) on December 29, 2017. The conclusion was completed
December 29, 2017 in the 22nd hour (evening) of the day [fourth watch].
On the Verge of the
Great and Terrible
The thing that has
been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be
done: and there is no new thing under the sun. [Eccl 1:9]
(The Holy Spirit impressed upon me):
Terror shall strike the hearts of multitudes in the
approaching year (2018)
-- and again in >> (2025)
Please Westerners [and that includes me], we must get out of the 'self' mentality, and keep in mind that the Lord has the entire world on His radar, not just the United States, or Canada, or Mexico. Unless a certain place is specifically mentioned, the Lord is addressing the people of the world.
[NOTE: 2025 is the Chinese Year of the Snake (as previously mentioned.]
If you think the year of the dragon 2024 had Satan's fingerprints everywhere, and the stench of his evil was enough to make one gag, be prepared, not afraid or fearful, but prepared for 2025. [the lessons I have been given to learn 'trust' have been going on for decades; He instructs us to trust. Prov 3:5
Deception and fear are two of most powerful weapons.
If Jesus is your Lord, then we need not walk in fear. Walk in trust, grateful that Jesus is here with us, every step of the way.
[It was impressed upon me that]:
Things that have only been imagined before shall come
to fruition [unknown 'when']. As I revealed in a night vision (dream), old diseases shall be resurrected and new ones (never before heard of) shall break
forth.
(NOTE** - In 2013, I saw in a dream of the night that the Lord had given
me, an
old style western stagecoach with a team of four to six horses pulling
it at
rapid speed, heading east. It was in silhouette, which, in this
particular case, was understood to mean that the coach was carrying
something cloaked in darkness (evil). The horses went at incredible speed (but driven by "man"), heading east, but encircling what I
understood to be the globe BP)
Experiments performed in hidden quarters globally shall now
come forth into open places – shocking multitudes, delighting the evil, the
lost, the unlearned and the unsuspecting, yet horrifying My people who see
beyond the physical and understand the spiritual implications.
[NOTE: The link to the original post will be added at the end. As stated, I have removed some things that I was to remove because I reckon it pertained to 2018. However, we know that Gates threatened -- oops -- forewarned us that another pandemic that will "really get our attention this time" can be expected. Whether he succeeds or not is entirely up to God.
The reason I believe the Lord said: "yet horrifying My people who see beyond the physical and understand the spiritual implications" -- is due to the evil behind the plot to "cull the herd", or the genocide in order to bring down the number of people upon earth so that their UTOPIA will only have the cream of the crop.
It IS horrifying to see the extent of evil, as coverups are peeled back and revealed. The height, depth, breadth - the volume and mass of the evil Satan exists in is the complete opposite to the purity and holiness of Yahweh. Both are immeasurable. The evil of Satan far surpasses the most vile and evil human we have ever heard of, and that is what is horrifying. It is impossible for us to even imagine.
All of creation will rejoice when this is all over as it is written at the end of the book of Revelation, and we will forever live with our Creator forever.
[End note - BP2025]

Violence shall increase; immorality IS and shall continually
increase, to be considered off the charts.
Government leaders shall continue to
change and introduce laws to appease the evil and fleshly desires of the
people, whilst also appeasing their own hidden (and for some, not so hidden)
desires.
[NOTE: The push is on now to bring in the beast system and its new ruler, the Antichrist of all antichrists. Do not be surprised to see Trump and Musk play right along with Klaus Schwab (WEF), although Trump wants to rule the world... More on this in another post.
Spoiler Alert:
Think upon:
*Daniel's 10 'horns', 10 kings (kingdoms), as well as what John says in Revelation
* Trump wanting to buy Canada -51st state ( Mexico, Panama Canal, Greenland) * the combined money Trump and Musk would have together
"We have to put ourselves on what might be called warlike footing. We need a vast military-style campaign to marshal the strength of the global private sector. With trillions at its disposal."
How much money would the Trump and Musk throw in if it meant ruling a good chunk of the world? Elon Musk is said to be the richest man in the world, with a net worth of $290
billion
-- Trump is said to have a $3.9 billion worth.
* King Charles had a portrait done of himself with a monarch butterfly on a very red background.MK Ultra was said to be a 'mind control' program (Manchurian candidates) operated by the 'CIA'. Red and green were said to be "trigger" colours -BP2025]
Natural calamities shall continue to break records. The shaking has begun (and did begin over a
decade ago), yet it began in jerky and intermittent motions, so that when an
event occurred in cataclysmic proportions, though acknowledged, it was brushed
aside as one of “nature’s” cruelties. [Note**
- 2004 Indonesian tsunami came to mind – BP2018]
Signs in the heavens are not all from Me, yet I shall allow
it, for there are those who will be given “strong delusion”, for they do not
desire truth. So it is written, so it shall be.
[NOTE*: It was in a prophetic message that the Lord had said "look up to the skies", mentioned first perhaps five years ago, perhaps six?) The reason was two-fold. Firstly, the Lord wants His people to be on guard because not all the 'signs' in heaven are from Him. Remember we were warned about lying signs and wonders that the enemy and the false prophets and false Christs will produce.
It does not mean the signs are not "real"; but it means that Satan and his legions (demonic), and earthly 'double agents' (false prophets, false Christs) will produce great signs and wonders to deceive even the elect if possible. [Mat 24:24]
Strong delusion will be sent to those who do not want the truth. He wants us to come to Him daily, keep an intimate relationship so that He can protect us from deception - it will be that strong.
He also wants us to keep looking up, awaiting His imminent return. Try not to be disheartened at the long wait. We all have our moments. Don't let anyone kid you. These are the strangest times, so fast-paced. But we can align what is happening with scripture, and see our King is returning soon.
We get discouraged because it seems to take so long. If we are being real, I think all of God's people long for Him to come back quickly now. Some call it escapism. Hmm, well, it is written that we will be 'caught up in the twinkling of an eye', so call it what you like, to me, it is the Word of God! Glory :)
There is a grieving over the condition of Yahweh's beautiful creation. I think we are at the point where it is written that the whole of creation is travailing. The pain is as labour; it is real. [Rom 8:22]
It is a matter of longing to be with the Creator who loves us so much He humbled Himself t come as one of us, and to offer up His sinless life like the spotless lamb, so that we could be cleansed [washed] by His pure blood when we confess our sins, filled with godly sorrow. When we are forgiven, Messiah will restore us,
As long as we are here, we will pray Jesus gets hold of those ones that are lost (the one missing out of the 99/100 equation), and the prodigals (how many of us were prodigals or worse?), the sinners still caught up in bondage
We have all been there. We all missed the mark, fell short of the glory of God. Some of us were worse than others in the depth of our sin, and how long before we came out of it, but God does not look at things the way people do. Praise God for that, but what I find so beautiful?
.Likewise, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over ONE sinner that repents. [Lk 15:10]
To me, that is way cool. Imagine...the holy angels of God REJOICING when just ONE of us repents! Amazing...
[End note: I got a bit moved there...(smiles) BP2025]
-=-=-=-=-=-=-========-=-=-=-=====
Even him, whose coming
is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, And
with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they
received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this
cause God shall send them strong
delusion, that they should
believe a lie: That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but
had pleasure in unrighteousness. [2Thess 2:9-12]
There are those who have secretly been working with evil
entities (fallen angels, demons in high and highest rankings), perfecting
technology that is destructive and evil beyond measure to bring down the
“numbers” upon the earth, so that they may have more control, more wealth, more
power and greater status. They have learned how to be safeguarded against
certain diseases, how to reverse their years and extend their lives.
Though they shall revel in their findings for a season, they
will come to know they have been duped. For this physical life is temporal, as
it is written -- it is appointed unto all mankind once to die, and then the judgment. [Heb 9:27] Yet, it is the
second death they should fear, the second death in the lake of fire. [Rev 20:14] Woe to
those who mock the Creator, considering themselves as ‘’gods’’.
The “rattling of sabers” has been heard for a long time, yet
I say to you that the “rattling” will be replaced by the sound of “clanging”,
for the sabers are coming out of their sheaths and out of their places where
they have been worn and are being raised high. Warfare is upon the earth – it
has hung over the globe as a foreboding cloud of darkness, with outbreaks in
certain parts. But the cloud is about to burst and the clanging shall be seen
and heard in diverse places globally.
Woe to those who sit in comfort, ignoring their Creator and
living for the world. Their hearts shall
fail them for fear, for they will not know what to do or where to go.
Division, division, division…great division... (see [Mat 10:34-36])
Think not that I am
come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword. For I am come to set at variance against his father, and the daughter
against her mother, and the daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law. And a
man’s foes shall be they of his own household. [Mat 10:34-36]
(short message from Lord)
I AM dividing – yea, as I told you before, many times over
the years, a separating, a dividing, even amongst those who call themselves by
My name. You have heard it said, for it is written that, "judgment begins in My house". [1Pet 4:17]
But I say to you (and even this messenger has long ago reported)
that the shaking HAS BEGUN. It began
some years ago.
In 2012 (January 20), I gave this messenger a message which stated: Now It Begins
Fear them not therefore: for there is nothing covered that shall not be revealed; and hid, that shall not be known. [Mat 10:26]
At times, the shaking was violent, yet not long-lasting;
other times, the shaking was noticeable but not violent, yet seemed to be
without end. It has also been infrequent. These were warnings for those who had
eyes to see and ears to hear. It has also been for correction, disciplining,
for those who would repent and come into My will for them, so that all would go
well for them and that they should bear good fruit.
Yet, as the dust settled, people (including many of My own) returned to their daily routines,
oblivious to the hour that has descended upon them. It is late. Yet a small number (yes, a remnant) became more serious, searching their hearts and
asking My Spirit to help them search in case they deceived themselves.
They have drawn closer, many struggling in overcoming, yet
determined to learn how to succeed – surrender, sweet surrender…submitting to
your Creator. Dying to self, letting go is the key to overcoming. Indeed, not
an easy task and truly, one that must be accomplished alone. No one can go with
you on the journey of dying (to self).
As birth, so too is death: a journey one must travel alone.
[…] Not by might,
nor by power, but by my spirit, says the Lord of hosts. [Zech4:6]
There are times that answers to prayer are instantaneous and
My people marvel at My power and My goodness. Yet, more often than not, answers
to prayers seem long in forthcoming. I AM God and all that I do is done
decently and in order. Chaos and confusion are of the adversary, the god of
this world, the prince of the power of the air.
In whom the god of this world has blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the
glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine to them. [2Cor
4:4]
Wherein in time past
you walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now works in the children
of disobedience: [Eph 2:2]
A grieving is heard in the heavenlies, and hot tears are
seen upon the faces of many of My people, for I am answering prayers for truth
to be revealed, to protect them from deception. Therefore, there is a
witnessing of sheep being separated from sheep. It is true, for it is written
that the goats shall be separated from the sheep and the tares from the wheat.
I am judging between sheep and sheep.
And as for you, O my
flock, thus said the Lord God; Behold, I
judge between cattle and cattle (sheep
and sheep), between the rams and the
he-goats. [Ezek 34:17]
Yea, I tell you that sheep are being separated from sheep,
for it is a necessity in these latter times.
Her priests have
violated my law, and have profaned My holy things: they have put no difference
between the holy and profane, neither have they showed difference between the
unclean and the clean, and have hid their eyes from My Sabbaths, and I am
profaned among them. [Ezek 22:26]
There are church leaders who will continue to deceive the
multitudes as they fleece the “sheep” and line their pockets with filthy lucre.
Their prophets tickle the ears of the people, and the sheep (some, not all) love to have it so
as they close their eyes in contentment. They are led by greedy shepherds whose
watchmen are as dumb dogs, too lazy to bark out a warning and too sleepy to
clearly see the wolves in sheep’s clothing.
Her princes in the
midst thereof are like wolves ravening the prey, to shed blood, and to destroy
souls, to get dishonest gain. And her prophets have daubed them with untempered
mortar, seeing vanity and diving lies unto them saying, Thus saith the Lord
God, when the Lord has not spoken. [Ezek 22:27, 28]
Then there are those where I shall strike the shepherd and
the sheep shall scatter. Those who are Mine shall run to Me with bitter tears
and a broken heart: they will pray for the shepherd and the lazy watchmen. They
will pray for each other and they shall wait upon Me for direction.
The people of the land
have used oppression, and exercised robbery, and have vexed the poor and needy:
yea, they have oppressed the stranger wrongfully. And I sought for a man among
them, that should make up the hedge, and stand in the gap before Me for the
land, that I should not destroy it: but I found none. [Ezek 22:27-30]
There are also church buildings that will see the doors
closed, never to be opened again. Once saved, always saved is a lie from the
enemy, for it is written that many shall fall away.
(Note** - I
understood that indeed, nothing can pluck us out of our Lord's hand,
and that He will never leave or forsake us, but Satan can, has and will
continue to pull many away and bring them into destruction and
damnation. The power to 'choose' is not taken away from us. I do not
speak of prodigals (those with a repentant heart that decide to seek the
Father and return to Him, in brokenness and with great humility, but
apostates who are given over to a reprobate mind.
Below
is a fearful word, scriptures that should make the smuggest or
overconfident person think twice and examine their heart and actions. BP)
And
even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave
them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not
convenient; Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication,
wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness, full of envy, murder, debate,
deceit, malignity; whisperers,
Backbiters,
haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things,
disobedient to parents, Without understanding, covenant breakers,
without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful,
Who
knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are
worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do
them. [Rom 1:28-32]
Also:
Now the Spirit speaks
expressly that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving
heed to seducing spirits and doctrines of devils; speaking lies in hypocrisy;
having their conscience seared with a hot iron; [1Tim 4:1, 2]
“Well, they weren’t really saved,” many say, trying to
explain as they parrot one another. Yet, I say that they who put their hand to
the plow, looking back, longing for things of the past, are not fit for the
kingdom.
--==--==--==--==--
(Quick note is inserted to explain significance of "looking back" when plowing.)
(Note** - In his book,
“Commonly Misunderstood Bible Verses”, author Ron Rhodes explains that with the primitive plows back
in Jesus’ day, if a man took his eyes off of his work and looked backward, the
furrow he was plowing became crooked, which was unacceptable and could do more
damage than good. Ron Rhodes goes on to explain that Jesus was implying that
service in Him requires the whole heart and not double-mindedness (not
lukewarm, one foot in world; one in kingdom). BP2018)
(Message continued...)
Think upon Lot’s wife who was “saved” from Sodom, but she
disobeyed the command not to look back. Her heart was still in Sodom, and
though she was saved and free from the sinful clutches of Sodom, a part of her
longed for it, even knowing it was under judgment from Me, and that longing
caused her to lose her salvation (being saved from judgment).
(NOTE*: I struggled with "caused her to lose her salvation", until I added "being 'saved' from judgment. El Shaddai was saving the whole family from the destruction of Sodom. However, just like Adam and Eve, they were given ONE commandment, which was: "Do not look back!"
But sadly, Lot's wife could not help herself. She stopped to look back, and 'instantly' she turned into a pillar of salt. God does not ask much of us. What He does ask of us is so minor, yet look at all He does for us.
She looked back (disobedient) stopping for anything or anyone!
She was saved! The whole family was - they were out of the city! Saved... But the flesh is selfish. It reminds me of the second time I ever saw Jesus, which was explained in a previous article. Lot's wife obeyed to satisfy her fleshly desires.
I chose the created [a mere man] over the holy Creator [Yeshua/Jesus] With no fear of God, pride and a rebellious heart, I fell into idolatry, adultery, and became spiritually blind. I could have been 'saved', but instead I was spiritually dead.
She lost her salvation - as did I that day. What a blind fool I was.
[End note - BP2025]
(The Great and Terrible 2018 - con't]
I have given people the power to choose. They can choose to
stay or they can choose to look back as Lot’s wife. Some will return as the prodigal
son did (many are returning; don't give up praying); fully and wholly repentant; others will not
return for they love their sin.
There are also false brethren who carry My name only, but
the love and fruit are not evident. Some walk in obvious anger and bitterness because
they are unwilling to forgive any that offended and brought about their hurt.

artificial fruit

(Note* - I saw plastic fruit in my mind's eye and understood that some fruit looks good outwardly, but in the end, is unfulfilling. BP2018)
Such as these refuse to humble themselves and admit their sin; therefore, it consumes
them. They justify their own sins while pointing their accusing finger at others,
(Note* - I understood they were similar to the Pharisees. BP2018)
[Note*: Or wolves in sheep's clothing; false teachers; false prophets BP2025]
They
refuse to forgive. Such is pride, for they exalt themselves above
others, thinking more highly of themselves than they ought. Such as
these can still repent, but more often than not, are halted by pride and
through the enemy's deception that blinds them..
This was the sin of Satan before he fell. In his pride, he
exalted himself which led to his rebellion. And as if that alone were not
enough, he influenced and led one-third of My holy angels into rebellion with
his cunning, craftiness and smooth, convincing words. Together, they all fell
from My glory and now seek to influence and lead as many as they can of mankind
into rebellion against My Christ, My Word and against Me. Woe to those who
follow after unrighteousness, pride and rebellion.
Yes, division is happening. Not only are unbelievers divided
against believers/disciples of Christ, but also a dividing among the sheep as
well.
Immorality Increases and More Open
The adversary (Satan) is the author of confusion. It is he
who has introduced another gender, male or female, the blend is uncertain and
brings confusion. Transgender, unspecified gender – indeed, this is the effort
to make a mockery of My creation. Satan seeks to steal, kill and destroy. [Jn
10:10]
This is part of the mission of Satan and his armies. He
seeks to take that which is good and call it evil and take that which is evil
and call it good. He even seeks to deceive My people through false teachers and
false prophets, who subtly command, with cunning and craftiness that My people, the disciples of Christ, must
accept this new, undefined gender in order to prove their love for Me.
Many of
the homosexuals and transgenders are being ordained and are preaching and
teaching the multitudes. Acceptance of these sins, they say, is to obey the second commandment to
love your neighbour as you love yourself; they lie. For they twist My Word as
surely as the serpent twisted My word in the Garden of Eden and again, in the
desert wilderness in the temptation of Jesus. Did My Christ not foretell that
IF it were possible, even the elect will be deceived?
For there shall arise
false Christs and false prophets, and shall show great signs and wonders,
insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect. [Mat
24:24]
Countless police are turning on the people and slaying
them, and multitudes are likewise turning on police and slaying them.
Technology is far more advanced than the general population knows. There are
those that walk amongst you undetected, perfected humanoids, an ideal vessel for a demon to
possess.
I
have risen from My throne. The shaking increases –
judgment falls, and has been falling for some time. It shall increase.
It is
moving over the lands as surely as famine, pestilence and death moved
over Egypt at the time that the locusts came, and pestilence, and the
first born of both man and beast were slain [Ex 11:5]; when Pharaoh’s hard heart
had no fear of the Creator of all things, the God of Israel.
And saying, Where is
the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things
continue as they were from the beginning of the creation. [2Pet 3:4]
But as the days of Noe
(Noah) were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. For as in the days
that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in
marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, And knew not until the
flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man
be. [Mat 24:37-39]
Water was the judgment the first time and fire shall be the
finality of latter judgment. Already records for drought and forest fires have
been broken. Earthquakes and mighty whirlwinds continue to increase in
intensity and frequency in diverse places as foretold. Increase in power and
destruction, the mountains of fire (volcanoes) shall unleash their fury.
The
stars (asteroids, meteors, meteorites, comets) are being sent forth as warnings,
as soon, as part of judgment, for it is written that it shall be so in the
latter days. Yet another shall come...
There are those, even among My people who say these things
have always been. Indeed, it is so, yet they fail to read My word and
understand. They fail to believe in My Son and reject My word.
Others who believe do not keep My Son as their first love, nor seek My face and
to receive My counsel, wisdom and direction through My Spirit.
Repent, change your heart and mind and understand that I am
God. Woe to the inhabitants of the earth,
for the devil has come down, having great wrath, for he knows he has but a
short time. [Rev 12:12]
A God of Justice and Judgment
Much is being exposed. Many who have reveled in the
spotlight are having the rug pulled out from under them. How long must I behold
a rebellious and evil people? How much must I allow to happen before their eyes
are open to see the times they are in, and the filth and stench of the sins
that they wallow in? When will they run to the valley of decision? When will
they flee and be upon the mountains, like
doves of the valleys, all of them mourning, everyone for his iniquity? [Ezek
7:16]
How long will they shake their fists at Me or turn their
backs away, ignoring Me altogether? Many will mistake the wrath of the devil
for My wrath. Though multitudes of My people have experienced (and will continue to experience)
persecution and tribulations due to the devil’s wrath, those who are Mine in
Christ will not experience the day of the Lord, when My wrath is loosed upon
the earth.
I am drawing people, getting their attention. Oh that they
would choose life through My Son. On the verge of the terrible – indeed!
The Great
My people, be strong and of good courage, for I shall never
leave nor forsake you. Continue in your faith, holding fast to your first love,
Jesus my Son. Keep on the full armour and walk in obedience to My commandments,
ever keeping a repentant heart. It is not the time to faint or to give up!
You
are on the verge of great things. I have told you that answers to prayers and
the unfolding of long-awaited dreams and visions shall come suddenly and
unexpectedly.
You have laid down your life - you have waited patiently.
Give thanks, for miracles still happen – the impossible is possible with Me, through
and in Christ Jesus (Yeshua), the Creator of all things. Healing, restoration,
restitution [restoration of something lost or stolen; recompense] and even reversals shall take place this coming year to those who
have obediently walked with Me, through my Son Jesus the Christ.
Even the unsaved shall experience miracles, as I continue to
draw many to Myself, from all religions, all cultures and nations. It is My desire that none should perish but
that all should come to repentance. [2Pet 3:9] There shall even be, for some,
reversals of years; those who have been promised such understand. They shall
walk in humility and love, and power, doing justly.
It shall be a sign to multitudes of My promise to restore
and reconcile all things unto Myself. [Deut 30:3-11; Col 1:20; Joel 2:22-25]
And the Lord answered
me and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tablets, that he may run
that reads it. For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it
shall speak and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely
come, it will not tarry. Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him:
but the just shall live by his faith. [Hab 2:2-4]
Many have prayed to be purged and purified. It has not been
comfortable or easy by any means. At times, many of My people have wanted out
of the fire, wanted out of the waiting, and have longed to leave this earth and
join Me, yet when I stayed My hand, ignoring their request and kept them alive,
they have repented of their hasty words, learning that through it all their
faith becomes stronger. They learn to persevere and overcome, and offer up
thanksgiving.
Keep in mind that many forerunners, such as Job, Moses,
Elijah, David et al, have hastily spoken and longed to leave this earth as
well.
Then Job answered the
Lord and said: I know that You can do everything, and that no thought can be
withheld from You. Who is he that hides counsel without knowledge? Therefore have
I uttered that which I understood not; things too wonderful for me, which I knew
not. [Job 42:1-3]
Indeed, My longsuffering covers numerous areas. As it is
written, My thoughts are not your thoughts and My ways are not your ways. [Is
55:8, 9] I see the end from the beginning. [Is 46:10] I know each heart. I
continue to do a good work in My people, as they submit to Me, allowing Me to
have My perfect way with them and help each who desire to stay humbly in My
will.
Not everything that happens is or will be understood, but
that is where trust must hold strong. Although many who have held positions of
leadership are being removed, those who have been seemingly on the sidelines
are being raised up and placed in those positions of leadership.
Beware that you do not
think more highly of yourself than you ought, but to think soberly, according
as I have dealt to every man the measure of faith. Therefore, let him that
thinks he stands, take heed lest he fall. [Rom 12:3; 1 Cor 10:12]
Hearts have been tried – much dross removed. Small
beginnings should never be despised. I have been correcting and disciplining My
children. Those who acknowledge Me in humble repentance will be healed and
restored as vessels unto honour. There are those in leadership who have
submitted humbly to the discipline and shall become mightier in leadership, giving
glory to My Son, for they have allowed themselves to be conformed into Christ’s
image. [Rom 8:29]
It has been and is a process; one must yield (submit). I am
the potter, you are the clay.
Remember to continue to walk in love and walk humbly before
Me, do justly, love mercy [Micah 6:8] and pray one for another. [Jam 5:16]
Rejoice, knowing that I am your strength and that I am working all things out.
Keep your eyes and ears open, for as surely as light penetrates and scatters
darkness, so shall this year also bring miracles, signs and wonders that
penetrate and scatter the impossible.
Abide in the Vine, [which is] My Son, so that you will be able to
discern the true from the counterfeit, for as it is written, there will be
false Christs and false prophets (and Satan himself) who will also produce
signs and wonders. Keep your lamps filled with oil; be as the five wise
virgins.
I am God and nothing is impossible with Me. Give thanks and
worship Me in spirit and in truth. Break through (bursting forth) is coming.
Keep your eyes on Me, for My people shall not be ashamed.
Baal-perazim (means: Lord
bursts (breaks) through) Victory
was assured IF David obeyed the Lord’s instructions [2 Sam 5:19] David obeyed
and he gave God all the glory for the victory [v 20]. He was given a signal (a sign) from God. He was told to watch
for the strong, mighty wind that would go over the tops of the mulberry trees;
that was when he was to go forth to battle and victory. [v 24]
Remember that I promised a breakthrough which shall come
suddenly and unexpectedly to the children of light who have waited upon Me. Ask
for confirmation, for I am well pleased when My people try the spirit to see if
it is of Me.
And I will restore to you the years that the locust has eaten, the cankerworm,
and caterpillar, and the palmerworm, My great army which I sent among you. And
you shall eat in plenty and be satisfied, and praise the name of the Lord your
God that has dealt wondrously with you: and My people shall never be ashamed. [Joel 2:25, 26]
Behold, the whirlwind of the Lord goes forth with fury, a
continuing whirlwind: it shall fall with pain upon the head of the wicked. The
fierce anger of the Lord shall not return, until He has done it, and until He
have performed the intents of His heart: in the latter days, you shall consider it.
[Jer 30:23, 24]
Behold, 2018 is the year where people will most certainly realize that the world is indeed: On the verge of the great and terrible!
Original
Post: On
the Verge of the Great and Terrible [January 1, 2018]
This was added to the other post a couple of days ago, but I am sure many missed it. These are little lessons the Holy Spirit taught me, and I would to share. May it bless you, dear friends, as it blessed me. Glory to You, precious King Jesus
But
this is a people robbed and spoiled; they are all of them snared in
holes, and they are hid in prison houses: they are for a prey, and none
delivers, for a spoil, and none say, RESTORE. [Is 42:22]
Let us pray for restoration. This is something else I have prayed since 2005 (wow, 20 years. Gulp...I'm starting to feel antiquated. lol)
Who among you will give ear to this? who will hearken [listen] and hear for the time is come? God will avenge; He is the strength in every battle. He will satisfy His wrath and bring justice.
Please Remember
We must continue to expose the wolves...who tell you the truth when they say they ARE praying for you...but it is not as you think.
It is PREYING, not PRAYING!
Be careful, sheep. The PREDATOR is PREYING. That is how Satan twists words.
If God said: Fluoride-free
Satan would say the same thing, with a twist.
Free fluoride.
Two exact same words, only opposed to each other: fluoride-free == free fluoride
Fluoride-free (contains no fluoride) vs free fluoride (get fluoride for free)
One little twist changes the entire meaning, and THAT is how subtle, clever and cunning Satan is, just as Jesus-Yeshua forewarned.
This
is spoken in truth and love because God is God, and you are His
creation. Let us bring glory to His name...even when it is hard; even
when we do not understand. Shalom in Christ
Treasure Chest
The greatest treasure is the "pearl" of great price...the WORD of God.
Beloved friends, dear saints and ain'ts... I will leave you with this that I dug up with the help of the Holy Spirit, He who guards the truth.
I can assure you that if it was not for the Holy Spirit and
the righteous Advocate for believers, Jesus the Messiah, indeed, if He had not
been my strength, and hand not guided me day by day, and step by step, I know
that I would not have come this far.
What He has done for me, He has done [and will do] all others who call out to Him. He will do for you, and likely already has.
He
knows every star and has named them [Ps 147:4], and if He knows the very hairs
upon your head and knows their number (including the hidden ones below the
surface on a bald head) lol
How much more does He know each one of us individually.
Sometimes we do not even understand ourselves, yet the understanding of Yahweh
is infinite. The Lord takes pleasure in those that fear Him, in those that hope
in His mercy.
[Ps 147:5, 11]
Yeshua/Jesus is honourable and just in His perspective, and
wise in every way. He truly IS an ever-present help in times of
trouble [Ps 46:1] He is exalted on high, so worthy of praise.
O dear souls, if we can only keep in mind (and yes, I speak
to myself too) that as we witness all this chaos and deception, violence
and threats of nuclear war, we think upon how temporal this life is, and look
forward to eternity with our Creator. Sorrow, suffering, tears, and sins will
no longer be a reality. Glory!
As we marveled at the swarms of mysterious drones that suddenly appeared in a few scattered countries globally, with technology said
to be unknown to mankind, keep in mind not just the Sovereignty and providence
of God, but His great power – greater than anything anywhere.
All the signs and wonders in the Word of God [remember the
number of times we have heard that certain governments the world over are
advanced 30-50 years minimum over what has been released to the public]
Bring all your concerns to the Lord. He said: Come now, and let us reason together, says 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. [Is 1:18]
Take Him up on what He says. He means it...
Special Delivery from the Rose of Sharon
But there is a God in heaven that reveals secrets, and makes known
to [you] what shall be in the latter
days […] [Dan 2:28]
For have you wearied in believing your life is a
desert life, with nothing but dryness and hopelessness stretched out far ahead,
and nothing but the sands of time rippling in uneven, haphazard rows behind
you, seemingly random and without pattern?
Can you not see the oasis of hope where My promises
flourish over the parched land you travel?
(The reminder is that this world is not home for
His children; He will create a new heaven and a new earth. Hallelujah! Soon and
very soon, we will see our King snatch us up in the twinkling of the eye.
Glory, glory, alleluia - BP2025)
[message continues...]
Have I not walked with you and often carried you,
when your strength failed and life made you dizzy? Can you not see with your
spiritual eyes? Has the enemy tossed you to and fro so fiercely that the “sands
of time” have temporarily blinded your eyes?
Has he seduced you into pacing back and forth like
a caged animal? Has he beguiled you into believing I have turned My eyes away
from you, or that I have forgotten you along the shores of hope? Do you feel
like one grain of sand amidst the unsearchable and innumerable grains of sand
upon that same shore?
[Note*: When the Lord said that I
remembered all the times that I felt like a grain of sand sitting alone out in
a field, whilst at the field’s edge were the sandy shores of a calm sea. BP]
Have you aborted the vision with the instruments of
deception that the enemy planted in your mind? Or did you toss out the tainted
weaponry smeared in unbelief and come running to Me? Look and see; My arms are
open, yet many are they that have no time for Me.
[Note*: He reminded me that HE is the Giver of life; He breathes into us and we live! The Father RAN to meet the prodigal son with open arms. Do you remember what someone once said, and it became famous?
I asked Jesus: "How much do You love me, Jesus (Yeshua)?"
Yeshua answered: "This much..."
And He stretched out His arms, spikes (nails) pierced His once-strong hands -- and died. (I love you that much...)
I say, Come, seek Me whilst I can still be found,
for there is much I long to tell you. Yet, if you find no time to be with your
king, then I sorrow with you, knowing you endanger yourself – a trap is set so
that many will choose to fall away in the end.
[Note: The danger lies in falling away
from the faith, being tempted and deceived by the enemy that to follow Christ
is useless or worse. BP]
Come, come unto Me you who are weary and
heavily burdened, and I will give you rest. [Mat 11:28]
You shall seek Me and find Me, when you shall
search for Me with all your heart. [Jer
29:13]
Call to Me and I will answer you, and show you
great and mighty [terrible] things, which
you know not. [Jer 33:3]
Behold, I stand at the door and knock: if any man
shall hear My voice and open the door, I will come to Him and will sup with
Him, and he with Me. [Rev 3:20]
For if you live after the flesh, you shall die: but
if you through the Spirit do mortify the deed of the body, you shall live. For
as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.
For you have not received the spirit of bondage again
to fear; but you have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we
cry, Abba, Father. [Rom
8:13-15]
Drink of Me, drink deeply for I AM the living
waters that will flow from your heart. Come out of the wilderness. Don’t look
back at the empty rows of the past that drift with every changing wind. Be not
like Lot’s wife, who could not pull herself away from the memories and the
longing for the familiar. Taste and see that I AM good.
In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus
stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto Me and drink. He
that believes on Me, as the scripture has said, out of his belly shall flow
rivers of living water. [Jn 7:37, 38]
https://crossinthewilderness.blogspot.com/2021_06_27_archive.html
With all the love that is within me, I give it back out to you as one standing in the gap - not to coddle pretentiously, but to firmly encourage you to do the right thing because in the end, that is all that matters.
It is to the glory of Jesus whose love is more than any can imagine, yet in that love, He will correct and chasten.
Let him know, that he who turns a sinner from the error of his way will save a soul from death, and hide a multitude of sins. [Jam 5:20]
for His glory alone
