Greetings

Following are a series of prophetic messages that were forwarded to me.

They again stress impending judgment FIRST on believers.

The visions are strongly associated with the physical realm and correspond closely with what i have seen.

However i continue to be deeply troubled by the ongoing SPIRITUAL manifestation that i constantly see unfolding around me and continue to be unclear as to how much of what has been shown to prophets using physical allegory will in FACT manifest physically.

The bottom line is that WHATEVER the exact physical versus spiritual manifestation, the TIME IS NOW!!

We MUST DRAW CLOSE TO YAH RAPIDLY BY HIS SPIRIT and seek truth in ALL AREAS including the Names, Sabbaths, marriage, etc else we WILL fall away.

Warm regards and blessings

They did not Know the Night Would be so Long!
Ten Christians expected the bridegroom to come for the glorious wedding. They had all been invited! It was getting to be night time.

Five were prepared for a long night. They had inside info. They had extra oil.

Five thought they could last out the night - they had the usual amout of oil. But they were unprepared, as it turned out. They did not know the night would be so long! They had neglected to listen to the inner voice to find out how long the night would be. They either had no premonition, or else they had disregarded the inner warnings. And so they missed the wedding

Are you a lukewarm Christian? Have you tuned your inner ear to hear what the Spirit says to you? Or are you too busy to be able to listen? Are you distracted by things so you can't hear the inner voice any more? Do you not know the Bible well enough so you can discern the times you are living in?

Maybe you did not know what the signs of His coming would be?

The receive the mark of the Beast is going to be the price to pay to be able to buy and sell. If the mark is something you do not recognise, will you be taking it unbeknowst to you what it is? Those who take the mark will be hurled into the Lake of fire, after they have had to endure undescribible suffering before they died.

My conviction is that only Spirit sensitive Christians are going to recognise what the mark is, and so will be able to avoid taking it! It might take a lot of fasting to sharpen the inner person to be able to be sensitive enough to recognise just what the mark is going to be to you. 4-14-02

THE BEGINNING OF SORROWS: MATTHEW 24:3-8.

Matthew 24 could be divided up into many separate sections, but I want to concentrate only on verses three to eight.

I see the Great Tribulation coming in two distinct time frames:

1. The first time frame is dominated by political and social upheavals: wars, famines, pestilences, and earthquakes. These are the beginnings of sorrows, and should not disquiet the believers.

2. The second is religious, and will climax in worldwide persecution: true believers will be hated by all nations, tortured, and martyred. (Rev. 6, 7, gives us a glimpse of tribulation martyrs. Thank God, the multitude will be so great that no man could number them!)

These two phases are preceded by a spate of false, pre-tribulational rapture prophets, (4, 5), that will deceive all the pleasure loving, easy going Laodician Christians, lulling them to sleep with their syruppy assurances of escapism! Only those who suffer with Christ will reign with Him!! God will spit the lukewarm Laodicians out of His mouth, not rapture them!

Christians beware! The cross requires sacrifice, not sugar-coated caramals! Woe to the deceivers and the deceived!!

There is a time interval between these two occurrances.Why did Jesus draw a time interval between the two phenomena? I believe Jesus did it to forewarn us that when we see the stupendous political and ecological disturbances, it will give us a pause to reflect on the worse things lie ahead: the religious aspect. It is sort of a breather, giving us time to fortify ourselves against the worse days to come. This will be the only time when world-wide evangelism will be possible, amid scattered persecution and martyrdom. From then all, the only testimony the Christians will be able to give will be by their gallant suffering and death!

Unless a person is thoroughly fortified by the Word of God and the Spirit of holiness, his chances of standing true to Christ during the tribulation are very slim! Only those who endure to the end will have the certainty of remaining saved. (This phrase, "being saved", is better rendered "staying saved". It has no reference to being spared death, as is being so blatently promulgated by rapture deceivers - it has reference to being saved from hell fire.)

There will be a great falling away - a refusal to take up the cross of Christ by the pleasure orientated, by those who have been promised salvation at any cost: the "once saved always saved" throng!

So, beloved friends, get yourselves disciplined now, and arm yourselves with true dedication to Jesus Christ, for only those will have a chance of enduring to the end. To be forewarned is to be forarmed!

To my reckoning, the Great Tribulation will begin with the outbreak of major hostilities in the Mid-East. America is also involved there, and so are most of the other nations of the world. (The Taiwan-China situation is more geographically local than the Mid-East.) The seventy weeks of Daniel relate only to Israel, not to Gentiles, a truth sadly overlooked by many eschatologists.

Avenging Angels on the Horizon.

Ninevah repented at the 40-day preaching of Jonas, and was spared.

America, and other Western Civilization countries, have heard the Gospel of Grace now for hundreds of years, and have not repented. Muliplied millions of innocents are continually slain on the altars of convenience. God is tired of us. Just like God said to Cain, He is now speaking to us, "Your brother's blood cries to me from the ground!"

Sexual malfiance is rampant throughout the Western world. The love of pleasure and crass materialism have replaced God in most hearts. God is calling it, "Quits"! There will be more apostacy than revival, sad to say!

The Avenging Angels are alerted and poised to strike momentarily, and to strike hard, and God is going to refuse grace and mercy much longer. Judgment must come, and that almost immediately.

We have used up our time of leniency. The Great Holocaust, from which there can be no escape, is now upon us. The heathen will trample us into the ground. And they will only be restrained and justly dealt with after we have been dealt with and our just retribution has been accomplished.

The Western Nations have abdicated God. Whereas the American First Amendment promised religious liberty, and forbad the State to interfere with religion, our Judiciary has either deliberately, or in abysmal ignorance - in spite of many warnings - done the opposite and unmercifully trampled religious freedom under foot! 

Few will be spared. Our adversaries will have little mercy. They are committed to eliminate all of Jewry, and all of Christianity, including the nations that professedly harbor them! Their hatred knows no bounds, and they will show no mercy. They believe they are obeying God's commands to utterly destroy. Blood will flow like rivers! If God did not finally intervene none would survive!

God's Last Call.

"It is appointed unto all men once to die", and for those who embrace the Savior, Jesus Christ, there will be a heaven to end up in. For those who are martyred for Christ, and refuse the Mark of the Beast, there will be the First Resurrection - immediately when the Holocaust is over and they will reign with Christ 1000 years! What a privilege to die for Jesus!!!!

For those who keep on rejecting the salvation that God still so freely offers in Christ will be assigned to Hell and eventually, after the Great White Throne Judgment, to the Lake of Fire, from which there is no escape - forever banished from the presence of God and the saints they so scornfully spurned while still alive.

Invasion of America: how soon?

A few days ago, March 21, I had a strong premonition that our attempts to rid the world of terrorism is going to backfire.

Afganistan is not finished yet, and the Arab world is very beligerant. Our next invasion of the Middle East, no matter how important and expedient it may seem to be, and how certain to be successful, will be our last major incursion into other countries.

From then on we will be only engaged in efforts at self-defence, and that will go badly.

The blood of our innocents is crying to heaven from the ground. If we regard life so calously, why should God regard ours - we who slaugthered the innocents? Blood will flow like rivers!

Ninevah repented but we have stepped over the line. There is nothing left but judgment! The exclusion of God from our public life leaves God no obligation to be gracious any more - we have not been gracious to retain God in our public life!

Our nation has turned too far away from God to expect Him to spare us, no matter how hard we try, and how hard we pray. There will be no escape for the church. Christians will be slaughtered and martyred, or else they will backslide and take the Mark of the Beast. If Jesus' parable of the ten virgins tells us anything, it is that half of the Christians will give up on Him, backslide and be forever lost!

Individuals can still turn to Jesus Christ now, but soon there will be no more opportunity but judgment and punishment.

Believe on Jesus Christ nowwhile the door to mercy is still open a crack. It will soon close! [email-masked]

The Meeting in the Air. I Thes.4:13-18.

The Church Age ends with the last of Daniel's seventy weeks - the Great Tribulation. 

During this great tribulation the earth will be almost void of people, nations will destroy each other, rivers will be polluted, forests burned up, grasslands parched, orchards destroyed - leaving the earth mostly a devastation and a dessert.

The last catastrophe in this tribulation period will be the Battle of Armageddon, where the ungodly will be routed and destroyed by the return of Christ with His mighty angels with flaming fire.

Then, with Christ beginning His righteous reign over the nations that survived the holocaust, and with the twelve tribes of Israel back in place in the Middle East - enlarged to include all the areas between the Mediteranean and the Euphrates, and Syria to Egypt - there will be uninterrrupted peace for a thousand years. 

The First Resurrection saints - the martyrs of all ages, who loved not their lives unto death - will also be in this renewal period, and will reign with Christ one thousand years. If I understand it correctly, Judah, also known as Israel, together with the Church, also known as Ephraim, now melded into one body, will be together in this daunting task of cleaning up the earth, and restoring it back to its original, pristine condition. The devastations that befell the earth throughout the ages will then be nullified, and the earth will become a near Paradise.

At the close of the Millennium a revolution of armies from the north and from the four quarters of the earth in their advent to Jerusalem to besiege it - will be countered by God by sending down fire from Heaven to incinerate all these hordes. That will be the last throes of Satan and his minions. They will all be cast into the Lake of Fire.

But, before God lashes out with the fire from heaven, He will evacuate all the saints who are alive at that time, and also all the saints who have departed throughout man's sojourn on earth, will resurrect and rapture them, enveloped by clouds, into a safe place in the air, far enough removed so that the destruction of the sinners, and the renovating fires - where the elements will melt with fervent heat - will not reach them.

Simultaneously, God will descend from heaven with the "asleep in Jesus" -the souls in Paradise - the souls under the altar, and before the throne, the counterparts of the "Dead in Christ" - and with the "The Trump of God", resurrect the "Dead in Christ". The bodies of the deceased saints on earth will be reunited with their souls from heaven, and then will be gloriously complete.

This is commonly denominated the "Rapture".

And then will be the "meeting in the air", with the saints forever being together with the Lord! What a meting that will be!!!

While in the air, the saints will all appear before the Judgment Seat of Christ, to recieve their rewards.

And after the fires have destroyed all the sinners, there will be a resurrection of the sinners, and they will all appear before the Great White Throne Judment to receive their domsday judgments.

Once these judgments have been concluded, and the earth satifactorily restored, God and all the saints, in a new Holy City, will descend the rest of the way down to the renewed earth.

Then the heaven and the earth will forever enjoy uninterrupted peace, and God's early plans - when He created the earth - will be gloriously realised! 

Glory, Hallelujah!!
