I have tried to tell people about this even though I have difficulty in my old age. I am glad others are speaking out also. Many will make fun, saying things will continue on just as it always has. Others have been told by church leaders that they will not be here when the things of Revelation begins which is a lie. The things that are coming will be great trials of faith by fire. Many people will pray to die and will not be able to do so. This is why our God will shorten the days just for the sake of the saints.

This world as it is will come to an end. I have seen a vision of it and God has been speaking to me ever since I have been 6 years old of a place of rest and safety from the very day the flood begins. It is very much like the time when God was bringing the world to its end in Noah's day. Noah and his family obeyed the Lord in preparing a place according to God's instruction and when it was finished God had them enter a door and the Lord shut them in. The Lord for years has been telling those who have ears to hear to prepare, prepare, prepare.

The only difference is Noah and his family built a very large boat called an ark. Inside this vessel were many rooms and inside, food and everything they had need of was placed according to the instructions of God.

There were eight souls which was Noah, his wife, three sons and the wife to each of his sons that survived that flood. Plus there were many animals, creeping things after its kind and every fowl after his kind, and every bird of every sort. They went in unto Noah into the ark, two and two of all flesh wherein the breath of life is. They went in male and female of all flesh as God had commanded him AND THE LORD SHUT HIM IN and the flood began to increase and cover the earth. The ark floated.

It is so much like the days of Noah except today it is God preparing a place for us though His Son Jesus just like a bridegroom preparing a place for His bride. He said in John 14:1-3 "Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father's house are many staying places, residences.) if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also."

Every thing you have need of is inside our Father's House called the Kingdom of God. He said in Matt.6:31-34 "Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? (For after all these things do the nations of this world seek :) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things. But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof."

When Jesus came to pay the price of our sins on the cross with His Own Blood, be resurrected and to sit with our Father preparing a place for us. He spoke of a time when He would come and receive us unto Himself. He spoke that His coming would be (as the days of Noah were so also His coming would be.) As in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage until the day that Noah 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.

For a moment, can you put yourselves in the shoes of the people... of those inside the door and those on the outside. Many would be banging on the door wanting to be let in to the safety of God's refuge. I for one would not want to be on the out side with a door closed that I could not open.

Jesus speaks of this happening again. He speaks of it in a form of a parable in Matt. 25

What kind of world was it that Noah and his family lived in? God Himself answers by saying that the wickedness of man was great in the earth and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually, 6:5. (Sound familiar?) In another verse God says the earth is filled with violence. In chapter 6:12 "God looked upon the earth and behold it was corrupt; for all FLESH had corrupted his way upon the earth." In 6:13 "God said to Noah, the end of all FLESH is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence though them and behold I will destroy them with the earth."

I would like to bring something to the forefront here. Did you notice there was not one word about Satan when God was speaking to Noah of why He was bringing the world in those days to an end?

The problem was and is the flesh and the lust of it that corrupts.

This problem with the flesh has always been the main problem since the fall of man. Satan used it to build all the kingdoms of the world. He even offered them and the glory of them to Jesus if He would worship him. Satan owned all the kingdoms of this world. He built these kingdoms by the wants of the flesh.

THE PROBLEM IS IN NOAH'S DAY THERE WAS NO WAY TO OVERCOME THE FLESH. But now there is. Now Jesus defeated Satan on the cross and you people that are born again into the family of God need not to fear Satan or the one they call the devil for greater is He that is in you then he that is in the world. God has given to us the Holy Spirit to live within us; teaching us the truth on how to follow Jesus and be an overcomer to the wants and lusts of our flesh. We (deny) our selves as we carry our cross to follow Jesus to the death of our flesh. We take the Words of Jesus to heart and obey the commandments to the very best of our ability. We do it because of our love for Him and our faith in the LORD AND HIS PROMISES. For faith works through love. The Holy Spirit taught us this kind of love because while we were yet sinners Jesus died for us. No greater love is this that a person lay down their lives for others that we might live.

It is sad to hear people who call themselves Christians today speak of how tired they are of hearing about the flesh and the carrying of our cross to bring about the death of it. The first thing I think of is what Paul said. The cross of Christ is foolishness to them that are perishing. The secret of overcoming is obeying the Lord Jesus commandments.

Jesus said in John 14:21 "He that hath my commandments and keeps them, he it is that loves me and he that loves me shall be loved of my Father and I will love him and will manifest myself to him." The flesh hates the commandments of Jesus because the truth of it is every time you are tested in obeying them and you do obey it---then it's like someone is driving the nails into your hands on the cross you're carrying. The more you obey them by the love in your heart the more you die a little each day. These are the works that Jesus was looking for in each of the 7 churches of Revelations. Jesus found them in the church of PHILADELPHIA; notice this church was the only church God set before them an open door.

It is written that Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord. Today we have some people just like Noah and his family. They also have found grace from the Lord. They also are being told what to do before the flood comes. They are also being told the purpose of the fire for you see the time is coming that the old Devil called Satan is going to lose his control of the nations. Our God is going to bring forth a war which will place Jesus Christ as king over all nations and people. Satan is going to get kicked out of heavenly places never again to return and accuse our brother and sisters as he is today.

The troubles in this world are only going to get worse as time goes on. But there is a rest and peace for the people of God. It's just down a narrow road and through the door of Fathers house.

Matt 24:42-47 "Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come. But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up. Therefore be you also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh. Who then is a faithful and WISE servant, whom his lord hath made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season? Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing. Verily I say unto you, that he shall make him ruler over all his goods."

These wise ones are spoken of again in the parable of the ten virgins, but the Lord also speaks of five of them who are foolish. The foolish virgins are the Lord's people who have Jesus the Holy Seed of God in them only they were slow in preparing for the Lords coming. They are also people who have allowed others to preach to them a different gospel than is written in the scriptures. They are also those whom the Lord speaks of in Matt. 24:48-51 right after the Lord speaks of the wise ones, He says, "But and if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming; And shall begin to smite his fellowservants, and to eat and drink with the drunken; The lord of that servant shall come in a day when he looketh not for him, and in an hour that he is not aware of, And shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth."

We have this type of people with us to day. I believe the Lord wants us to pray for them but leave them alone; the Lord knows how to take care of His own.

We will also show you them in the book of Revelation, but now let us see what happens to them in this parable. Matt. 25:6-10 "And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him. Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps. And the foolish said unto the wise, give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out. But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves. And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut."

This word translated into the word marriage means two become one. The wise become one with Jesus Christ. We see this word wise in the book of Daniel also, chapter 12:3 "And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever." Also 12:9 "Many shall be purified, and made white, and tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand."

There are many things that you may not agree with me on these things and I want you to know that is perfectly alright. But I will not be able to change it because I did not receive these things by any means of man. I received them by revelation of Jesus Christ.

In the book of Revelation we see these two groups. I believe the blowing of the trumpets is the beginning of the war between Satan and the world he wants to control and Jesus who God has given all authority to set up His Kingdom. In Daniel 12:1 We see what the Lord will bring about--- "And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book."

It is a time of FIRE and we see the wise on the inside of the door which are under the wings. Rev. 12: 1 "And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars:"

This woman represents Spiritual Israel with the crown of twelve stars which are the twelve Spiritual tribes spoken in the 7th chapter of this book. The woman is clothed with the light of day, meaning Jesus Christ. The moon is under her feet meaning she has overcome this light that rules the night. It represents Babylon and all the many gospels it has created in her confusion.

Within this woman is a man child which will come forth and be caught up to God and His Throne. They will be sent into the world with power to preach an everlasting Gospel to every nation. These are men much like the apostles in the first generation only instead of 12, there will be 144,000.

This woman I also believe will help the man-child preach the Gospel of the Kingdom of God to every nation before the end of this age has arrived. Notice the protection that is as a result of being on the inside of the door. Rev.12:5-8 "and she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and to his throne. And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days. And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels, and prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven."

These scriptures show you these two groups. Those who are inside the door and under the wings of the Lord and you see the protection given to these wise ones. Rev12:13-17 "And when the dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth, he persecuted the woman which brought forth the man child. And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent. And the serpent cast out of his mouth water as a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away of the flood. And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed up the flood which the dragon cast out of his mouth. And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ."

The remnant of her seed is the group not in the door. Rev.11:1-2 "And there was given me a reed like unto a rod: and the angel stood, saying, Rise, and measure the temple of God, and the altar, and them that worship therein. But the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months."

The Holy City is the Spiritual City of heaven, the true bride of the Lord. It is not the city in the east which the Lord calls Sodom and Egypt, Rev 11:8

I say these things to stir you up less we become tired in our labor to enter the rest our Lord has prepared for us or be turned aside of becoming one with our Lord Jesus Christ for He knows who He can use and who He cannot.

May the Holy Spirit have His way with you as He Leads you to be one with Jesus Christ.
