Dear family,
The things I write to you I did not receive from man in any form. The Holy Spirit said to me these Words over 30 years ago. "If you keep praying through the night I will show you the book of Revelation." I now am an old man but I believe the Lord is doing this to give you hope and understanding why so much is happening to you; especially to you the faithful ones.
When it came time for the world to come to its end by a flood God talked to a man named Noah about it. The flood would be by water and God told Noah what to do to prepare for it. He was to build an Ark for he and his family to dwell in. I think of all the mocking, name calling, and the loneliness of rejection suffered. This went on day after day and year after year but God loves to see faith at work in what He tells you. There is a time when reward will be given because of faithfulness. The time would come when God would come, call them inside the door of the Ark. The door would then be shut by God Himself to keep them safe. The world as they knew it came to an end.
2000 years ago our Lord Jesus spoke of a coming flood that would bring to a close this world again as we know it. It would be just like the days of Noah. In Mat 24:37-39 "But as the days of 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 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."
When the Lord spoke it would be like the days of Noah, He meant it. Not only do we have the Lord giving witness that we have arrived to that generation when this event will happen and multitudes will be killed. The Lord is giving witness to us who can hear; what to do in preparation in order to go through the flood of fire and not be burned. Yes, many will go through the flood of fire all the way to the last trumpet when the first resurrection will take place. The apostle Paul spoke of this in 1Co 15:51-53 "Behold, I show you a mystery; we shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality."
God has given witness that there were some prophets He told this to. In Rev 10:7 "In the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished, as he hath declared to his servants the prophets." This is why Paul spoke of the last trumpet; he was one of these men.
So many leaders in churches have told people that they will not be here when the tribulation begins. That is like telling a farmer that the seed he has planted and has grown to its fullness in the field will not be harvested while we are still here on the earth. Perhaps they have forgotten what the apostle Paul said in 1 Co 6:2-3 "Do ye not know that the saints shall judge the world? And if the world shall be judged by you, are ye unworthy to judge the smallest matters? Know ye not that we shall judge angels? How much more things that pertain to this life?"
The purpose of the harvest is to bring into Gods house every plant He has planted. The angels are given the work of separating the bad from the good but we will bring forth the word of judgment to the church with Jesus as the head of our body. Everyone whose name is in the Book of Life will be brought in so our Lord's House may be full.
The churches are also teaching that the Israel that is now in the east will be bringing in this harvest when they have come around to accept Jesus. This is also false. It will be Israel alright, but a Spiritual Israel that Jesus has been birthing into a nation for the last 2000 years. This is proven by the scripture in Matthew 21:43 when He spoke to the natural Israel saying; "Therefore say I unto you, the kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof."
As we have spoken before; some of you the Lord have been working with and you have or are now suffering many things in a wilderness setting. I believe we need to be reminded that Jesus came to a time in His life when He was pressed into the wilderness just before He preached the Kingdom of God with power. The purpose is the trying of your faith, though it is tried by fire. So you may be ready to be used when the harvest begins. Any worker used by the Lord when the harvest begins will enter into the works of others who have planted and watered the plants of the Lord. This is so when it is finished we may all rejoice together.
Some of the things written here may be spoken again in what I have said in a previous letter. If so then I believe it is worth repeating to understand what will soon take place.
The event will only begin when God; the husbandman or farmer, who is the owner of the field, (world) says to begin. The event is the harvest of His fruit. The harvest has two halves to the time period; the first half is a tribulation of His people who volunteer to sacrifice themselves to be one with Jesus. This will form the army you see in the book of Joel. It's when the seals are broken. The second half is the great tribulation; the blowing of the trumpets, (war). You who will be one with Jesus bringing forth the Word of judgment to the church and shining like the sun in the Kingdom of your Father. You will be giving the last great witness to this world before it comes to its end. Also this Word will come to pass: Dan 12:1 "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."
If I were like Noah in this generation; I would do all I could to speak to my family what the Lord is saying. I don't mean my natural family; they already left me years ago. I mean I must speak to my real family which is you who have been born by the Spirit of God through our Lord Jesus Christ. You are the only family I have and among you are two types. You are ether a wise one or you are a foolish one. This means you are either an Abraham type of person or a Lot type of person.
The Lord says that you who are wise will come to understanding on how to prepare yourself an Ark to dwell in. Dan 12:10 "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."
The Ark is called the Ark of the testimony or Ark of the Covenant. The Temple is going to be the body of Jesus which is you with Jesus as your head. It is Jesus Christ himself. To those who look for Him will He come a second time, not to take away your sins... but for salvation. Heb 9:28 "So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation."
This Word salvation means deliver, rescue and safety.
When Jesus was answering His disciples in Mat 24:3 "...what shall be the sign of His coming, and of the end of the world?" Among other things He gave an illustration, or if you prefer a parable, of what would be happening. Mat 25:1-2 "Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, who took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom and five of them were wise, and five were foolish."
This scripture proves that both the wise and foolish that Jesus is talking about belong to the Kingdom of Heaven. Both groups are of the bride, the holy city; the Jerusalem which is above. There is a natural holy city, Jerusalem, which is in the east today and there is a Spiritual holy city, Jerusalem, which is a heavenly one. The apostle Paul spoke of these two Jerusalem's in Gal 4:25-26 "For this Hagar is Mount Sinai in Arabia, and answereth to Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her children. But Jerusalem which is above is free, which is the mother of us all." I know most all of you know this but I have a purpose in speaking about the holy city.
The wise are you people who have received the Holy Spirit to guide and teach you the truth. It is you who daily seek the Lord to be in line with His teaching. You read the scriptures for your self and don't just take someone else's word for it. You're willing to follow the Lord with your cross and suffer the abuse people give you as they drive the nails into your hands spiritually. Praising Him for all things; for with much tribulation do we enter the Kingdom of God.
The foolish are those saints who believe every word their church leaders tell them without ever checking the scriptures to see if it's true. They think just because they went to mans school it qualifies them to be teachers of the word of God. The foolish are those who believe the lie that if they confess Jesus as their savior they automatically receive the Holy Ghost. That may happen in some cases but mostly not. There are a multitude of believers who have never received the Holy Ghost. There is a multitude of churches who never speak of the Holy Spirit. They have no oil in their lamps. They don't know what it is like to be guided or taught by the Holy Spirit. Some have been taken prisoner by other gospels. Most of the foolish have already made up their minds that they know what is going on and no one can tell them any different. Most are babes without any desire to grow up.
The Lord will confirm His covenant with many through this time period. He will help you to go through the things of the first five seals. You who volunteer your self to sacrifice and do oblation to the Lord and be harvested out of the field and be called to the open door. The angels will have been sent into the world to separate the good from the bad. Like a net that is full and pulled to shore and the fish separated.
The coming of the Lord will be right where He has already said. He comes at the opening of the sixth seal. Just like the days of Noah. He comes to fulfill these scriptures.
Matthew 25:8-10 "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) Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us. But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not."
The Word marriage means, a union; to become one.
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."
This holy city is the heavenly one, the Jerusalem of above; the foolish ones... who are now on the outside of the door. These foolish brothers and sisters we love dearly and so does the Lord. They are also spoken of in the fifth seal. Rev 6:9-11 "And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held: And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth? And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellow servants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled."
The wise saints will be in the rest that belongs to the children of God. Our fellow servants that should be killed as we were are the foolish side of the bride. They will loose their lives another way to fulfill the carrying of the cross as they follow the Lord unto the death of themselves. Many will face death just to confess Jesus as their savior.
This scripture speaks of those on the outside of the door. Rev 14:13 "And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labors; and their works do follow them."
The foolish will come to their senses when they are shaken out of their trees like untimely figs or like stars falling to the earth. Unfortunately they will be on the outside of the door that will be then shut. The wrath of the Lord will have come, (read the opening of the sixth seal). Remember the wrath of the Lord will judge the disobedience of the church first. They will surely say, Rev 6:16-17 "To the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb: For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?"
At the same time the Lord will fulfill these scriptures. Mat 24:45-47 "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."
You can see these two groups also in the 12th chapter of Revelation but before we go into this chapter I want to tell you of two great lights. God made these lights in the beginning of creation. The greatest light is the sun; the light of the day and it speaks of Jesus. The other great light is the moon which is the light that rules the darkness. It speaks of the darkness we are in now and the leaders that are ruling in this darkness of the night. Think about it.
The vision of Revelation 12:1-2 "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: And she being with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered."
The woman is the wise ones of the bride, the holy city of heaven. She comes to understanding and clothes herself with Jesus Christ. She covers herself with everything about Jesus and the Words He has spoken.
The light that rules the night speaks of the religious systems of today. She puts them under her feet; she no longer clothes herself with that lesser light. The crown of twelve stars speaks that she is not just one but a people that makes up a (spiritual nation) of twelve spiritual tribes. She will go through pain and tribulation to bring forth the man child that is within her.
Perhaps we can speak of the man child at another time.
The foolish ones of the holy city will be tread under foot by the gentiles, (nations) for forty two months, Rev.11:2.
The wise ones have a place prepared for them to be feed and taken care of for the same length of time. Rev. 12:6.
A flood is cast out of the mouth of the serpent; a flood of water to cause her to be carried away but God has the earth to swallow it up. This makes the serpent very angry because he can't get to these that are inside the door. To be a fruit that is worthy to enter the door and stay there... are under the WINGS OF GOD. The wise ones of the holy city are in God's refuge. It is what the opening of the fifth seal speaks of. You should read about this in Psalm 91. I'll give you a few of the scriptures and you can read the rest.
Psalm 91:1-4 "He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust. Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence. He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler."
The foolish ones of the holy city have by now come to understanding but too late to be inside the door of God's Kingdom. They are the 'Lots.' They will be purified another way; for this reason this scripture comes to pass. Rev 12:17 "And the dragon was wroth with the woman,(the wise ones) and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ." Satan will be allowed to do this because they are not under the Wings of God which are inside the temple and they need to be purified and made white as an over comer; time is running out.
Have you ever understood why the apostle Paul turned some over to Satan for the destruction of the flesh so they might be saved? Well this is what is happening to the foolish ones who thought they knew everything.
It will indeed be like the days of Noah and worth the effort to prepare for His coming...
