All day I have hoped to get this posted, but it’s been
a day of distractions and delays; even an accident where the car got t-boned (none hurt). So, the post is much later than I had anticipated.
Distractions and delays will become more and more common around the world, but especially for the body of Christ. This is to bring confusion, which is a tactic of the enemy, but also to keep us from doing that which is most important, or to hinder us from accomplishing such.
The closer we get to the great tribulation, and appearance of the 'lawless one' (the Antichrist of all antichrists), the more this can be expected.
I had prayed about the possibility of al-Qaeda
attacks and was to say, “Not today…”
(no al-Qaeda attack today) on American soil
today. Just as in July, a warning went out
from MSM (mainstream media) that ISIS
had threatened America with a 4th
of July, 2016 attack.
None came. Local law enforcement agencies received a
bulletin from the FBI to “remain vigilant during upcoming national holidays and
military events due to the heightened threat of attacks” (ISIS).
November 8, 2016 is voting day for the American people,
and ISIS once again issues a warning. No great ISIS attack will occur this date.
Trust the Lord, for only He knows all things.
If the terrorists’ announcement
was to put fear into people to prevent them from venturing out to vote, or
whether the strategy is to supply a steady feed of propaganda to wear the
people down, matters not. God is still Sovereign.
Although a shooting
took place in California that killed one man and injured two women, the Los
Angeles County Sheriff’s Department set a tweet out.
“[Shooting] does not appear to have any direct
connection to the election/polling places.” Two nearby polling stations were closed as a
precautionary measure.
The gunman, armed with an assault rifle, is dead. We give thanks to God for His Sovereignty and that no major attack took
place! It was a tragic loss, any life lost needlessly is a loss...but Satan, the enemy of all of mankind, cares NOT!
He will influence and use anyone who is steeped in sin, or has any kind of bitter root deep within their soul
Foreboding Precipice
My bowels, my
bowels! I am pained at my very heart; my heart makes a noise in me; I cannot
hold my peace, because you have heard, O my soul, the sound of the trumpet,
the alarm of war. [Jeremiah 4:19]
Even so, we are still at the edge of a foreboding
precipice. It reminds me of when Moses and the Israelites were at the edge of
the Red Sea [Sea of Reeds?]. We are
either all in, and trust God for what He says to us, or we can look back in
fear at the approaching armies.
We’ve got to forget about logic when it comes to God’s
miracles. Man will forever be searching for knowledge, wanting to understand
all things, but we never will.
Just as the Israelites acknowledged the walls of
water that evidenced the parting of the sea, they still had to take the step of
faith to begin to walk between those walls.
Yes, they were pushed to the edge, just as we are now.
How many of us who are sensing the approaching danger and urgency in our spirit
feel hard-pressed to make right and wise choices? Something is nearing the horizon...then how long shall it sit on the horizon before it descends upon us all? What is it we are sensing?
We must cry out for mercy and
grace because Satan is trying to get many to give up and turn back to Egypt. Also,
Satan wants us to believe that Jesus has not set us free, or that He will look after us; guide us, protect us right up until our appointed time...or the catching up, whichever comes first?
We must take the step of faith upon the dried land
between the walls of water. If we lean on our own understanding (logic), the reality of the circumstances will bring us
into fear and unbelief, as surely as it did Peter when he stepped out on the
water – with Jesus (Yeshua) right
there in front of him!
Simon Peter was overwhelmed by the truth of the circumstances as he looked around. His logic kicked in and he realized that he was doing the impossible. The waters were furious. The wind slapped his wet hair against his flesh, stinging him. Shivers went through his soaked skin. He began to sink.
Fear came upon him and he cried out to Yeshua (Jesus), 'Lord, save me!' And Jesus said, O you of little faith, wherefore (for what reason) did you doubt? [Mat 14:31]
We must go through the baptism of fire, to be
transformed and not consumed. It’s a purging, in order to complete the
deliverance from bondage, even though Satan and his armies (seen as Pharaoh and his Egyptian armies in
ancient days) are in hot pursuit of us.
 |
The walls of water trembled and began to fall,
just as the walls of Jericho fell.
The Sovereign God controls all things! |
The purging fire is to remove spots and blemishes (dislodging and removing the last bits of dross to purify the gold and refine the
silver). The promise comes only
after the ‘crossing over’.
There can be no confusion at the water’s
edge. The first step of faith must be taken, for we walk by faith and not by sight. [2Cor5:7]
So it is written; so it is true.
In
you, O Lord, do I put my trust: let me never be put to confusion.
Let
my adversaries be clothed with shame, and let them cover themselves with their
own confusion, as with a mantle.
[Ps 71:1; Ps 109:29]
For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints.
For every battle of the warrior is with confused noise and garments rolled in
blood; but this shall be with burning and fuel of fire. [1 Cor 14:33; Is 9:5]
(This passage goes immediately into speaking
of the Messiah who would be born, a son – Wonderful, Counsellor, the mighty
God, the everlasting Father, the Prince of Peace.) Be strengthened. God is
for us, not against!
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.
What
shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?
[Rom 8:23; 31]
I felt the weight of approaching danger. As I lay down
to rest two nights ago, I saw things that I did not want to see. In fact, I
tried to stop seeing what I was seeing, but I could not.
I have heard of such visions seen by others, but have never
experienced one quite like this horror. There were before me, body parts,
strewn about the street, but it was not just one street; it was several in what
looked like a city.
The body parts of the dead were those of people of all ages, all races, male and female, men, women
and children – young, old, rich, poor; it did not matter. Death was not
particular… animals were also destroyed.
I tried to escape the scene by looking
away (awakening), but I was not
asleep. Yet instead, my eyes remained closed,
fixed on what I saw.
In the vision, I moved as one translated (suddenly taken) to another street and
saw more devastation. I heard the screams of the terrified, the injured, the confused, those
mourning; those crying out desperately to another.
Then the ground began to shake. The road began to heave
and split. I sensed it to be my continent – North America, cities.
Like anyone else, this is not something I want to see.
My heart aches – what is it, Lord? I do not have answers as to if it is war (though it is coming, civil (domestic war/civil war, civilian uprising, extreme unrest, rising violence),
people versus each other and people against government (continental and global).
Is the shaking, upheaval (splitting, opening up) of lands and destruction of people and animals from an
earthquake? Or was it from missiles (from external sources
or from an internal false flag)? Or was the devastation from a meteor?
I do not know yet. God alone
knows, and whomever He reveals it to. We have heard predictions of earthquakes, tsunamis, incoming asteroids and war continuously even from voices in the secular realm.
Yet, the Creator of all things gave us the Holy Scriptures (His Word), wherein He forewarns people of all of these things. One third of people are going to die by fire, smoke and sulfur/brimstone.
By these three [plagues] was the third part of men killed, by the fire, and by the smoke, and by the brimstone [sulfur], which issued out of their mouths.
For their power is in their mouth, and in their tails: for their tails were like unto serpents, and had heads, and with them they do hurt. [Rev9:18, 19]
Bible experts all agree this is the Turks. Some mention the idolatry in the church. Matthew Henry speaks of a 'ruinous' and 'poisonous' religion that was brought in. (Is that not happening in many churches today? And it will get worse, according to scripture.)
The incredulous part is that after all these plagues and death, there is still NO repentance. Does that not sound like the Egyptians and Pharaoh? They suffered 10 plagues, death of livestock and death of all their firstborn (man and beast).
After the initial shock over from the death of all the firstborn, and the realization that it all came about because of the Israelites, who were now saved from slavery, Pharaoh and the Egyptians did NOT repent, but instead pursued the Israelites.
They witnessed yet another miracle, another impossibility, with the parting of the Red Sea. That should have stopped their heartbeats temporarily, but instead, it provoked their pride and anger, and they continued to go after them ...only to be drowned as the walls of water trembled and came crashing down, just as the walls of Jericho had.
He
Who Has an Ear - Let Him Hear
Son of man, I have
made you a watchman unto the house of Israel: therefore hear the word at My
mouth, and give them warning from Me. [Ezek 3:17]
Try to find time to read Ezekiel 3. It is a short chapter of
twenty-seven verses. We who are Christ’s, born-again believers, are called to
be watchmen.
We were told to, “Watch and
pray…” Why do you think it’s a
narrow road? Who wants to be the bearer of bad news, when others are saying, “Peace and safety…”
We are to speak to the lost and to the righteous (followers/disciples of Christ Jesus/Yeshua),
yes, both alike. We are to take seriously the responsibility, or the blood will
be on our hands.
If any of us are entrusted with a message from the Lord, will we be faithful to
deliver it despite the enemies of the cross, despite the naysayers?
But when I speak with
you, I will open your mouth, and you shall say unto them, Thus says the Lord
God; He that hears, let him hear; and he that forbears (to cease or refrain
[from doing something]), let him forbear:
for they are a rebellious house. [Ezek 3:27] (last verse)

| It is written... |
Again we are reminded of Matthew 24, deception and betrayal
abound in the last of the last days. He said to look up to the heavens (skies), and to remember how advanced
technology is. Things will go on in the heavens perpetrated by man (or by demons) that are meant to deceive. What is everything we are
hearing and seeing really pointing to?
The Muslims are expecting their Imam Mahdi , the Jews are awaiting their Moshiach (Mashiach) and Christians
await Jesus Christ (Yeshua HaMashiach). The Muslims and the Jews expect arrival soon.
I cannot pretend to understand it fully, as I have only recently come to hear
of these and have not studied the matter.
The Jews (not the
Messianic) expect two Messiahs; one being the son of Joseph and the other
being the son of David. That is one thing I do not understand, unless it is in
reference to the ‘two sticks’. However, from what I do understand, the Jews
believe the sticks represent Judah and Israel.
This is why they believe there will be two Messiahs; Messiah,
son of Joseph (suffering Messiah – Isaiah 53) and Messiah, son of David (ruling
Messiah). This thesis is not what this article is about, but was brought up to
reveal how Christians, Jews and Muslims are all awaiting the Anointed One.
However, the Jews and the Muslims do not believe that Jesus
Christ (Yeshua) is the Saviour of the world, who comes in the flesh. He came
physically in the flesh over 2000 years ago, and He comes in the flesh of the
born-again believer. Here is an article about the Two
Messiahs that Jews expect, if interested.
I do believe judgment has started, and that it began in the
Lord’s house some time ago, as that is where God said it would begin. People confuse
“judgment” with “God’s wrath”, known also as the ‘day of the Lord’. It is my understanding that the saints will not
experience the wrath of God.
 |
Pulling back the curtain because:
it is the time of revealing! |
The stage is being set for the revealing of the Antichrist,
but there has to be extreme chaos, confusion and violence first, so that people
will be glad for the peace he
brings. It’s a trap, as the Scripture reveals.
The Lord God is about to reveal many things that pertain to deception. This will be to wake people up. Repeatedly throughout these articles (over the years), our Faithful Creator has spoken: Awake and arise!
Things are about to change, radically. We were warned. The
Bible does not give us every single detail as to the leading up to the ‘great tribulation’, nor does the Lord
reveal the day or the hour.
We do not have an exact timeframe or date. We are told that no one knows this, yet people
still do date-setting. We can know the 'season' of things by following prophecies in the Bible, but we still will not know exactly when these things happen, or exactly how they will pan out.
Jesus said we are to "watch and pray'. Words of wisdom. We 'continue' in our prayers, and wait upon the Lord. It is all any of us can do. The Lord was gracious enough to tell us exactly what to watch for [Mat 24].
Something heavy is about upon
us…danger approaches. How far away I am not sure. We are at the end of 2016. Every fiber of my being senses something coming, and I know that I am
not alone on this.
It is not that any of us who understand Christ’s words are
looking forward to that time because we know it will be an incredulously
horrific time – a time such as not ever been seen before or ever seen again.
For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not
since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. [Mat
24:21]
As stated before, as long as there is breath in our bodies,
we have opportunity to choose to repent.
However, once we pass from this physical realm, opportunity to repent
has also passed. Justice and judgment await
all.
We long for the 'catching away'. We long for the Messiah to return because after His reign it will mean the end of this evil, corrupted and deceptive world. But it is clearly written that no one will know the time of Christ's return (and still we see people trying to figure out the year).
Only God knows, not the angels in heaven or anyone else. [Mat24:36]
Watchmen
What manner of beast arises, I cannot say. ISIS (Daesh) is only one manner of beast. How
often did the Lord bring evil armies to invade the lands of His people, as
judgment, in order to bring them to their senses and draw them to repentance?
Son of man, when a
land sins against Me by trespassing grievously, then will I stretch out My hand
upon it, and will break the staff of the bread thereof, and will send famine
upon it, and will cut off man and beast from it; Though these three men, Noah,
Daniel and Job were in it, they should deliver but their own souls by their
righteousness, says the Lord God.
Though these three men
were in it, as I live, says the Lord God, they shall deliver neither sons nor
daughters; they only shall be delivered, but the land shall be desolate. Or if
I bring a sword upon that land, and say, Sword, go throughout the land; so that I cut off man and beast from
it; [Ezek 14:13-14; 16-18]
A sword indicates in the above verses indicate God’s
judgment upon ungodly people, wicked in their rebellion against God, against
Christ, against the gospel. Ezekiel
prophesied of Jerusalem’s fall. The
sword means judgment by means of violence, war, hostility, military slaughter (carnage).
At times, it is a nation and their leader that brings war
upon a land. Other times, it is God. Either way, God is Sovereign. The ‘sword’ is only one way the Lord brings
judgment. Ezekiel, Daniel, Revelation –
these books speak about God’s judgment in the latter days.
Even Jesus (Yeshua) said: Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send
peace but a sword. [Mat 10:34] All
people must follow the instructions of God for themselves alone, not what man
says. In Luke 22:36, the words of Jesus are recorded.
And He said unto them,
When I sent you without purse, and scrip, and shoes, lack you anything? And
they said, Nothing. Then said He unto them, But now, he that has a purse, let
him take it, and likewise his scrip: and he that has no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one.
For I say unto you,
that this that is written must yet be accomplished in Me, And He was reckoned
among the transgressors: for the things concerning me have an end. And they
said, Lord, behold here are two
swords. And He said unto them, It is enough. [Lk 22:35-38]
The Lord has spoken about a ‘sword coming across the land’.
I understood that it meant judgment is sent out and is fast approaching. In His
mercy and grace, God forewarns people. He always has, and is faithful to
continue to do so. Why? His agape, steadfast love - it does not sugarcoat or whitewash anything.
If My people, which are called by My name, shall humble
themselves, and pray, and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways; then
will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.
Now My eyes shall be open, and My ears attentive unto the prayer that is made in
this place. [2Chron 7:14, 15]
Revelation 6:4 speaks of a “great sword”. This is not that time now, but we are headed
that way as Biblical prophecies are seen coming to fruition. Repentance is required to bring us back into
unity with God through Jesus Christ (Yeshua
the Messiah).
Obedience is not required simply as a ‘must do’, but as the
sure way of being in God's will and the reward it brings, blessing. God gives us principles to guide us,
commands to obey and a righteousness to seek in and through Christ.
He longs to
have us live in His strength, to bring us to new frontiers as He leads and to
be blessed. Yet, mankind has become a rebellious people. Therefore, judgment must
come to draw people to repentance.
That you may be
blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a
crooked and perverse nation, among whom you shine as lights in the world; [Phil
2:15]
 |
| worthy is the Lamb (Jesus/Y'shua) |
God’s word will be accomplished; it will NOT return void!
So shall My word be that goes forth out of My mouth: it shall not return unto Me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I send it. [Is 55:11]
There are personal promises
that are about to manifest. Miracles have already begun to happen, and the
reports trickle in slowly. MSM rarely speaks of miracles, or God’s hand in any
given situation.
We were warned by Jesus (Yeshua)
that false prophets would arise and show many signs and wonders. [Mat 24] Satan (the great imposter, impersonator) always counterfeits (imitates, copies) all that he sees God doing or that he knows God plans to do
(via Holy Scriptures). This is to bring confusion, division and ultimately to deceive all of mankind.
He will appear as an angel of light, and in the end times, he possesses the body of the man who will appear as "Christ", but will become known as the "Antichrist".
Our safety is in Christ alone. These are the days that we
must indeed cleave to God, abiding in Jesus.
(*Note – I am going to be adding to this post over the next
several hours, as time permits. However, since this day had so many setbacks, I
will publish what I have. I will be
delving into technology, military aircraft, UFOs and more).
UPDATE: Done additions BP
for His glory alone
