BEHOLD, I COME QUICKLY

 

Wolves in Sheep’s Clothing

Matthew 7:13-15; John 14:1-3; Acts 1:15-25; Romans 1:26-28; 1 Corinthians 6: 9-10;

 II Thessalonians 2: 3-4;  I Timothy 4:1;  I John 4:1-3

 

     Many false prophets have gone throughout the land, deceiving and being deceived.  A spirit of Antichrist is already at work, infiltrating secularized church systems, and entrenching itself ever more deeply in congregations where it has already gotten a foothold. 

        The Antichrist spirit denies the validity and the relevance of My Word, especially for today’s warped society. That satanic spirit seeks to undermine the integrity of the Words of My mouth, and to cast a shadow upon My Holiness.  Satan interjected a question in the mind of Eve: “Did God REALLY forbid you to eat that fruit?” In like manner, the enemy is saying even to born-again Christians:  “Does God REALLY forbid this or that practice? Aren’t these more enlightened times? Does He REALLY expect you to  depend totally upon Him alone?  Perhaps,” satan whispers, “God now expects you to develop  powers latent within yourself so you can meet all your own needs by unleashing  your own faith, independently of Him. You’ll never grow as a person if you don’t.”  Eve fell for satan’s lies hook, line, and sinker. 

  This same demonic influence has been unleashed by satan in these last days to acclimate religious people to gross error, so that when the Son of Perdition and his False Prophet rise to power, they will encounter no resistance from a populace already steeped in a false humanistic gospel.  The devil knows that people chafe at My commandments, but that there is still the God-given urge within them to worship.  After the Rapture, false churches will proliferate. They will consider My Word to be outmoded and follow their own humanistic credos.  There is a way which seems to be good, but the end of that road is death!

     The existence of a literal heaven and hell is being questioned by skeptics who desperately want to believe that there is no eternal  judgment for sinners, and no heaven of holiness where only sanctified souls may dwell.  If you are filled with My Spirit, you will want a heaven where there is no defilement of sin, and where all life and pleasure is centered around My Son, Who is soon to restore Creation to her former glory.

     There is a false teaching circulating that hell is not a literal place, just a state of being.  Likewise, it has been alleged that heaven is not real, either.  To support these false doctrines, you must discredit My Word and call Me a liar. It would overwhelm you to hear the screams of lost souls who are even now suffering the torments of hell fire because they rejected My perfect Sacrifice for sin and tried to make their own way of redemption.  Yes, My Word says plainly:  Hell is a PLACE prepared for the devil and his angels, a PLACE where Judas Iscariot went after he betrayed Christ and killed himself, as  Acts 1:16-25 teaches.  It is foolish for well-meaning preachers to put a soft spin on hell’s horror in toned-down dissertations!

     Just before My Son was crucified, buried, resurrected from the dead and taken back up into heaven, He comforted His disciples with these words:  Let not your heart be troubled; ye believe in God, believe also in Me.  In MY Father’s House are many mansions: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, ye may be also.  Heaven is more than a mere condition of soul.  It is a prepared place for a prepared people.

 

A Demonic Delusion

John 6:50-58; 15:1-10; I Corinthians 10:1-11; II Peter 2:20-22; Jude 4

 

     Many will be so duped by the “once-saved-always-saved” lie that I will catch more than a few professing believers on a bed of adultery at the time of my appearing, or sitting in front of their computers downloading porn.  Blinded by years of spiritual apathy and too hardened to seek after My holiness, these people will excuse themselves by saying:  “God knows I’m only a weak human being who can claim no righteousness of my own.  Jesus paid it all, and it’s only because of His goodness I can make the Rapture, anyway.

       These millions of sheep are being led astray by the demonic doctrine of unconditional eternal security.  They think  “So long as I mumble ‘sorry, Lord’ before I drift off to sleep, they can still have their fun and still make the Rapture.” 

     How foolish, how unspeakably vile a thought! If a backslider partakes of the sins of this world rather than feasting on the Life of the Lamb of God, he shall not be delivered from the Hour of Tribulation wrath to come. 

     Only those Israelites who fed themselves on the Paschal Lamb were delivered from the land of Egypt.  Those few who didn’t had to suffer eternal consequences.

 

 

Warn the Wicked

Ezekiel 3:17-21

 

     Ministers who refuse to gloss over the issue of eternal judgment are   branded as unloving, obnoxious fanatics. But if you saw your neighbor’s house on fire in the wee hours of the morning, would you not make as much noise as possible to rouse him from his slumber?  Ordinarily it would be unloving and rude to awaken a neighbor from a sound sleep.  But he is in danger of death, and you would be most negligent not to wake him.  Indeed, his blood would be on your hands if he perished in the flames because of your indifference.

     Apathetic saints need to regain a sense of urgency about the peril lost sinners are in.  Apostate ministers who preach only “love” will bear a terrible responsibility before their flock and before Me once the Rapture has come, and deceived souls are left behind to face the period of Tribulation Wrath.

 

The Spirit of Antichrist

I John 2:22; II John 7

 

     The spirit of Antichrist denies the virgin birth, and thus rejects My own Fatherhood of Christ the Redeemer.  This is a denial of the divinity of My Son; and thus, a denial of the spotlessness of the Lamb of God, Who was offered up to make atonement for the sins of mankind.  There are many false ministers who scoff at the divinity of Christ and the virgin birth, for their  “god” is a distant deity powerless to save. He is a fanciful fabrication inspired by satan,  the author of all “feel-good” religions. These demonic belief systems contradict My provision  for sin in Christ Jesus.  They demand no real repentance on the part of their devotees.

    Heretical religious leaders are now saying that I have changed My mind about what is right or wrong.  Satan doesn’t storm the  vestibule of their churches   wearing a red suit and waving a pitchfork.  He got his foot in the door of cold churches by degrees, by revamping his image to look “respectable”.  First, compromisers caved in to popular pressure and said that sex outside of marriage is okay, “so long as there is “real commitment”.  This gave many backsliders the boldness to do what they were doing anyway_ignoring the clear warnings of My Word against fornication.  Next they gave the green light to homosexuality, in spite of the plain admonitions of Scriptures in both testaments against this filthy sin. Some clerics are even willing to unite same-sex partners in “marriage”, but I do not unite them!  Truly they have gone the full gamut, discarding all the godly prohibitions of My Word.  Promiscuity has been given the green light by unprincipled ministers,who say that the only real sin one can commit is not to have a  “gentle and understanding attitude” toward those who commit these evil sins.  These deceivers are peddling a cost-free Christianity, but I said in My Word: Broad is the way which leads to destruction, and many go down that road. Those Who love My commandments are accused by pleasure-obsessed souls of being narrow-minded, but the road to life is narrow, and few there are who find it.  I am inseparable from My Holiness.  I am certainly not ashamed of it, though false church leaders rejejct  it as being “politically incorrect”.  To knowingly reject My Holiness is to reject Me, and I will reject such a reprobate in the Presence of My Father!

   

My Unspeakable Grace

Daniel 8:25; 9: 24-27;  Luke 14:16-24; Acts 28:25-29, Romans 11:25

 

     For nearly two thousand years I have extended My Hand of Mercy toward rebellious sinners of all nations, entreating them to come into My Ark of Salvation and be spared from the wrath to come.  Many have come to Me and become part of My eternal family, but only a very small percentage of mankind have been willing to enter into Life Eternal.  If sinners had been offered salvation on their own terms, they would have been far less reluctant to receive it, and would have had to spend eternity as sinners.    But imagine what heaven would be like if I broadened My Narrow Way of Salvation.  It wouldn’t be heaven at all if people were free to bring their old sins with them when they came.  It would become an even more tragic place than this earth; for it would cease to be My holy Paradise. It  would be rendered unfit for those pilgrims who had suffered for the sake of the Truth, and looked forward in faith to a restful place free of the taint of sin.

     But the vast majority of mankind are unwilling to part with their sin.  That’s why they hate Me so much.  Others are apathetic toward Me, and see Me only as a convenient safety valve to ease the hour of death.  I have been extremely merciful and patient toward fallen man for a very long time.  So many people take a rain check on My invitation to eternal life. They think My merciful grace will always be there for them whenever they get in the mood to accept it.

    Under the  Old  Covenant, only those Gentiles who had sacrifices offered for them according to the Law of Moses could share in the same salvation I offered Israel. These few converts, like the believing Jews, looked forward in faith to the coming of the one perfect Sacrifice Whose blood would make a final atonement for sin.  Before their rejection of Christ as their Messiah, My primary concern was the welfare of the Nation of Israel.

     I could not get My own nation to accept My invitation to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb, though I offered it first to them. Yet I was determined that  My Banquet Hall would not be lacking for wedding guests. Throughout this Church Age I have concentrated on gathering individuals, both Jews and  Gentiles, into the Kingdom of God, to be spiritually united to My dear Son.  But this Age of Grace is fast closing.

    My Prophet Daniel was heartbroken over the apostasy and subsequent exile of his nation to a foreign land.  He yearned for the rebuilding of Jerusalem and its Holy Temple.   I gave him a revelation of 70 weeks of years (490 altogether), which I would devote to the outworking of the salvation of the Nation of Israel.  This period spans the passage of time from when Artaxerxes the Persian  ordered the rebuilding of the City of Jerusalem to the time  the Messiah would come to restore the Kingdom of God to Israel. At the end of the 69th week the Messiah would be cut off (killed) for sins not His own. It was exactly 483 years from when Artaxerxes issued the decree to rebuild the Temple,  to the day  Christ died to make atonement for sin. After the true Lamb of God was sacrificed, Israel’s prophetic time clock was stalled by the beginning of the Church Age.  Once the Church is removed and the Antichrist brokers a false peace treaty between  Israel and her adversaries, the clock will start ticking again, and the seven-year Tribulation will begin in earnest. This brief era is called Daniel’s Seventieth Week.

      At that time, I shall deal directly with Israel again as a nation, that I might prepare her to receive her soon-coming King. Even then, salvation will be offered to  Jew and Gentile alike.  Those hold-outs  who finally  receive salvation during the Great Tribulation will do so at great risk  to their lives.  Many will lament that they are not   in heaven with those who came to Christ during the Church Age, safely removed from the perils of earth.

 

 

A Burdensome Stone

Zechariah 12:2-3; 14:2

 

     I even keep the saints in heaven informed of developments on earth which relate to Bible prophecy about the end times.  I have just told some heavenly saints that the principal nations of the earth are vitally concerned about the prospect of achieving lasting peace in the Promised Land, and that the biggest bone of contention is the final status of the City of Jerusalem. I let them know that at this present moment Palestinians and Israelis are feuding over rights to the Temple Mount, and that this explosive issue   will not be finally resolved until I come again.

   I said in My Word that Jerusalem would become a burdensome stone to all nations who meddle in her affairs.  The heated argument over who owns Jerusalem will be the  fuse which ignites the bloodiest conflict in all history, the Battle of Armageddon.

     Certain politicians would dearly love to see a firm peace treaty signed, and be able to take the credit for it, so as to ensure an honorable legacy for themselves in the history books.  But they are unaware that the only Middle East “peace” which will come before My Return will be that false peace brokered by the diabolical genius of Antichrist. If only those vain politicians  realized the terrible peril this world is in, the history books would be the least of their concerns!

     Oh, the sorrow which could be avoided if people would only heed the explicit warnings of My Word!

 

 

A Dark Train Coming

Matthew 16:3; Luke 12:56; 21:25-28

 

     All of the terrible upheaval   in the Middle East, and satanic activity in other parts of the world are mere foreshocks   of the terrible Tribulation Period which is even at the doors. The enemy is even now setting the mood for the Tribulation by spreading a spirit of fear in the earth, through various calamities taking place.  You know a forest fire is getting closer when you feel the hot breath of it coming on the wind.

     Just as you can feel the rumblings of an approaching train by standing on the tracks, discerning saints know that they have not long before a dense curtain of darkness falls upon this world, and the Age of Grace is over.

 

The Lord of Hosts

Exodus 15:3;Psalms 45:3-4; Rev. 19:11-16; 21:5

 

     In that day, saith the Lord, I shall emerge upon the world scene in the fullness of My role as a Man of War.  I came to destroy the works of the devil, not merely give My people the grace to bear up under them and take them cheerfully.

     On the glorious day when we can truly say that “all things have been made new and there is a New Heaven and a New Earth”, it will be the culmination of  a lengthy, painstaking process I undertook to destroy all the effects of sin, but by then it shall  be fully completed. And if I end up failing to destroy ALL the works of the devil, then it would be to My discredit just as much as if I’d failed to wipe all your sins away!

     That includes everything sinners  have ever done to hurt the earth and, more importantly,  the persecution they have waged against believers in Christ.  I absolutely will not give the devil the satisfaction of knowing he has permanently damaged the hearts or bodies of any of My precious children who trust in Me.

     Right now I am even strapping on My sword to go forth to do battle with rebellious nations who have turned the earth into one vast Sodom and have rejected My salvation.  I am not a meek mouse hiding in a corner watching the devil do his dirty work.  He is in for the very worst bruising ever, and the days of his kingdom are surely numbered.

 

Autumn’s Chill

 

     Winter, with all the hardships it brings to nature, does not normally hit suddenly.  Autumn is the prelude to winter, a gentle harbinger of a far worse chill to come. 

         Weeks before the first snowfall,  you notice a bracing nip in the air.  Tree leaves  begin to die, and fall to the ground.  Wild birds and animals make last-minute preparations to ensure their survival over the long winter months. 

     Catastrophic news events portend far worse calamities to come.  The  spiritual atmosphere of the earth is growing ever more grim, and My people are the only ones who have anything to smile about.  Sinners feverishly party the night away to forget about life.  But beneath their jaded grins lurks  an awareness that they truly are on the eve of destruction and this world is the only so-called “paradise” they’ll ever know.

     Even wild birds and beasts depend on Me to sustain them through winter. Even “dumb” animals heed My warnings of impending danger and flee from it before it arrives.  If only people would turn their lives and their worries over to Me, they could be hidden in the Day of Wrath which is almost here.

 

God’s Whirlwind of Judgment

Nehemiah 4:14; Psalms 58:9; Isaiah 40:24; Jere. 23:19-20; 25:30-33; 30:23; Hosea 8:7

 

     Behold a whirlwind comes.  A whirlwind is caused by two clashing opposing winds.  For 2000 years a mild wind of grace and mercy has blown throughout the earth, pleading with the sons of men to repent and respond to My great Love.  Rather than destroying the wicked as in the days of Sodom and Gomorrah I have patiently waited for men everywhere to repent.  But most of those who have heard the Word of Reconciliation have hurled it back in My face in contempt.

    A much harsher, colder wind is blowing once more, that of justice and judgment.  As you stand on the border between  the Tribulation Era and the Church Age, where the two contrary winds now meet, you can feel the conflict in your spirit.  The two opposing winds are fighting each other for dominance. Mercy cries out against judgment, but judgment must also be done.  Those sins left unrepented of and uncovered by the precious Blood of Christ must finally be dealt with through the judgment of the transgressor. My whirlwind of fury will fall upon the  heads of those who have opposed the going forth of My Gospel of Reconciliation in the earth.

     Things will be markedly different in the Tribulation Era. I will no longer demand that My chosen righteous ones turn the other cheek in meekness. They will be free to take up arms to fight for the safety of their loved ones whenever those bearing the Mark of the Beast attack them to destroy them.  My saints will not pray for Me to bless their hardened enemies, those who will have have finally decided which side he or she is on.  My saints will even have My permission to pray for the destruction of all those who bear the Mark of the Beast because those sinners will be beyond all possibility of redemption. When I come again I will destroy  all those who have persecuted the righteous, slandered them and unjustly shed their blood.

     The unprecedented “amen”  in your spirit towards judgment upon a sinful world does not signify a sinful lack of divine love on your part.  It results from a divine revelation of where I have placed you in history and what I am about to do at this time. The convergence of the two conflicting dispensations on My time line signifies no longer a predominance of  peace and reconciliation, but  a great Whirlwind of Judgment blowing in the earth rising up to destroy the hardened in heart.

     Those who stand before Me to be judged for their sins will find that that same gentle wind of mercy and grace is now blowing contrary to them.  It whispers no more My sweet, tender message of love to their hardened impenitent hearts, but proclaims loudly against them that they are worthy of eternal death for rejecting My offer of salvation through the Blood of Christ.

     Let those who have eyes to see and ears to hear be sensitive to what I am doing in the earth today, and be fully  aware of the times and the seasons, that it is perilously late for lost sinners and backsliders.

 

 

  

Terrorism: Supernaturally Orchestrated

Deuteronomy 32: 22-25; Romans 3:15-17; II Corinthians 10:4

 

     Do not be deceived, My people.  The devil laughs at  man’s War on Terrorism. Why? Because you cannot defeat a supernatural devil  with guns and bombs!  The root cause of this trouble is demonic, not human.

     Throughout the Church Age, My people have travailed in prayer and fasting, doing spiritual warfare against the devil and all his evil works. The world has stood by, mocking My saints as lunatics because these wise ones could see where the devil was taking this world, and sinners felt no alarm themselves. Rather, the devil kept lost sinners sedated by the wretched pleasures of this evil world.

  Whenever mankind has gone to war before, it has been against enemies much easier to pinpoint and fight. Take Nazi Germany as an example. The allies  fought long and hard with airplanes and ground troops. They  dumped tons of bombs on Germany’s cities. In time, the resistance of the German army was  broken,   and they were finally forced  to surrender.   An armistice was signed, then the war in Europe was declared  over.

    In a normal war, the soldiers get to go home after all opposing armies have been subdued. There is a sense of finality about the victory won, a feeling of closure where soldiers begin to try to put the whole sorry mess behind them and rebuild their lives in what they consider a time of peace. When the war is over, the soldiers get a respite, however brief, before another conflict erupts somewhere else and fighting resumes.

     This current world conflict will never be resolved until My Son returns to defeat satan’s forces at Armageddon!

   This War on Terrorism is but the prelude to the devil’s symphony of the  Great Tribulation. But take heart, My people.  Your redemption from the earth  is much nearer than you think!

 

The Rapture and Its Aftermath

I Thessalonians 4:13-18;  Revelation 12:7-9; chapter 13; 20:1-6

 

     Distress shall come upon all nations when I snatch up My loved ones to be with Me.  It will be “business as usual”  one moment.  Then in a split second, many millions will disappear. Countless spouses, children, parents, and co-workers will vanish before the very eyes of unbelievers, leaving them in a state of turmoil.  Drivers will vanish from the seats of cars, causing tragic accidents on the highways.  Airline pilots will disappear, and jumbo jets will plummet into the ocean.  Christian surgeons will vanish in the middle of   operations. Young infants and tiny children will vanish from the arms of unconverted parents.  Rebellious teenagers will be left to fend for themselves after their godly parents have gone to meet Me in the air.

     An epidemic of panic will ensue, as casualties mount and orphaned youngsters range the streets, looting and stealing in order to survive.  There will be rioting, and total disregard for law and order as the restraining ministry of the Holy Spirit resident in My Church is snatched from this wicked planet.

     On that chaotic day, an emergency session of the U.N. will be called.  World economies will crash, along with the stock markets.  People will wander aimlessly, lacking coherent direction in their lives.  Ever unwilling to acknowledge the Truth of My Word, world government leaders will try to put a glib politician’s spin on the Rapture.  They will attribute the phenomenon to an invasion from another galaxy.  Martial law will be declared in many nations in an effort to curtail the looting of shops by the panicky populace.  They will be obsessed with stockpiling the necessities of life;  because in their eyes, the Rapture was a disaster which struck the earth, the culmination of some mysterious terrorist plot against law-abiding citizens.  Survival will be foremost in their minds. 

    A power vacuum will be created when America will topples from its precarious position as the world’s sole superpower. Its  economy, which was built on artificially  inflated dollars, shall crumble because of the great anarchy created by the repercussions of the Rapture.Vulnerable and weakened, America shall be easy prey for  business speculators from the Far East who will take advantage of her downfall. Europe will take a giant leap forward and unite politically under a single leader, who is even now waiting in the wings.  This shall be done supposedly in the interest of restoring order and presenting a united front against both extraterrestrial and Far Eastern attack.  Severely weakened economically and militarily, and desperate for an umbrella of protection from oriental imperialism, America shall willingly ally herself with  the Son of Perdition, the Antichrist.

     Communications systems will be jammed, particularly in America, where there had been the greatest concentration of teaching about the Rapture of the saints.  Those who once scoffed and mocked because it failed to occur in decades past will wander around in shock.  Great fear will strike the hearts of many nominal church members and unbelievers. Men’s hearts shall melt with fear for the awful days which lie ahead for Planet Earth. Bibles left to collect dust on shelves will be thumbed through and searched for answers by those who had heard of the doctrine of the Rapture of the Church, but dismissed it as an idle fantasy.  Many  liberal pastors and Bible teachers will fall on their faces, crying out to Me for mercy; not only for their own rejection of the Truth of My eternal Word, but because they’d led others astray with their watered-down dogma and downright lies. There will be many who would have believed on Me had My Truth not been tampered with, or explained away as irrelevant to an “enlightened age”.  But those deceived souls will be left behind, along with their false teachers.

 

Spiders Spinning an Alibi

II Tim. 3:13

 

    “It’s just terrorism,” a lot of “Christian” politicians will say once they regain their feet after the big shock. “If it had really been the Rapture, I wouldn’t be standing here saying this now.  After all, I’m a born-again believer too.”

     Once a deceiver, always a deceiver. 

 

The Rapture Will Accelerate Society’s Decay

Proverbs 14:34; Isaiah 3:5

 

     Christians are the salt which arrests the decay of any society.  Consider America, the mightiest democracy the world has ever known. Once the Christians are gone, America will not only lose its goodness, it will lose its greatness.

     I see the day when  Americans fearful for their safety will give way to total paranoia.  Security systems will do a booming trade when the entire earth is enshrouded in Tribulation darkness and crime increases because evil is no longer held in check.  Guns will be in the vast majority of homes.  Those who can afford it will even hire bodyguards by the hour to protect them when they must venture outside their heavily padlocked homes. Entire communities of moneyed elite will live behind gated walls. They  will hole up in communal fortresses guarded by security cameras and patrolled by personal militia.  Poorer people who cannot afford high-tech security dwellings will be viewed with suspicion by those afraid to lose what they have to robbers and muggers.  What hell on earth it will be for those who do not put their trust in Me in that dreadful hour!

 

How are the Mighty Fallen

Judges 16:4-31

 

     America, consider Samson.  His eyes were fixed on his own muscular strength and the relative puniness of his foes. Even when a far weaker foe (Delilah) captivated him with her guile, his attitude was:  “I’m not afraid of her Philistine friends.  I have defeated them in the past.  I’ll get up and win my usual easy victory without any problem.”

     Samson forgot I was the Source of his might and instead trusted in his own natural strength. His wily enemy triumphed over him and kept the victory till he finally  learned his lesson the hard way.

     America has made the same sad mistake, and unless its attitude changes, it will meet the same sad fate.

 

Antichrist: the Lord of Lies

II Thessalonians 2:8-12

 

     Once My people are removed from this planet, millions of people throughout the world will know why they were left behind, because they’d heard the truth so many times before. Some even will have heard it hundreds of times, but scoffed in unbelief.  Such skeptics will be left behind because they refused to believe without seeing  proof of My direct supernatural intervention in this evil world.

      Multitudes will, because of the sudden Rapture, at last be convinced that divine judgment upon sinners is imminent. In their desperation, they will call upon the Lord Jesus Christ to redeem them from their sins.

     Yet many other sinners will only harden in their determination to  resist Me to the end. Both repentant and unrepentant sinners will feel Me pricking at their conscience, convincing them of the wickedness of their doings.  But I cannot force anyone to choose life eternal.  The unrepentant will even resort to self-deception to deaden their troubled consciences.  And once the initial shock of the Rapture begins to  wear off, those people won’t have to look far to find alternative answers to soothe their nagging sense of guilt.

     Some religious folk, who either forsook Christ, the true Way of Salvation, or never accepted Him at all will be enraged at Me for daring to leave them behind. These will be people who hardened their own hearts against the Light of the True Gospel for fear it would make them look foolish in the eyes of their pretentious peers. Such sinners try to dictate to Me what My terms for accepting them into heaven must be, and hope their so-called good works  can earn them a place in Paradise.

     Unwilling to suffer for the sake of the  Truth, these unrepentant reprobates will choose to believe the lies of Antichrist, and  will actually swear allegiance to him out of spite, so they will lose their own souls.

     The Antichrist will be catapulted to world domination because he will preach what the populace wants to hear.  All men are basically good, he will claim, and all religions are equally valid, so long as the belief system in question emphasizes a demonic kind of  “love” which  embraces all kinds of “alternate  life-styles”.  Antichrist’s religion will promote a false brotherhood and harmony among all men.  The doctrines of sin and accountability to a Holy God will be denounced as negative obsessions which undermine the collective  mental health of any civilized society.

     To the delight of Antichrist’s disciples he and his equally wicked False Prophet will assert that the great error of the historical church was to lay undue emphasis upon the so-called sinfulness of man. He will inflame the passions of many by recounting the persecutions and inquisitions carried out in the Name of Christ  to punish so-called heretics.  He will remind his listeners that great church leaders even admitted the historical atrocities committed by organized religion and asked forgiveness, then extended the olive branch of friendship to their former foes.

   The Antichrist will cleverly contend that the ones left behind are really the blessed ones, chosen  to join hands with him in “building a more enlightened society”. He will  say that the “Disappeared” merely merged into another dimension.  In their ignorance, he will assert,  they could never have adjusted to his envisioned brave new world of peace and harmony  and would have been a source of disharmony in it.

    Antichrist will be enraged by reports of a great company of Israelite men  spreading my Gospel to the four corners of the earth. These divinely protected men will comprise a task force of 144,000 specially selected evangelists who go far and wide to convert sinners to Christ_a task presently assigned to the Church, which will then be absent from the world.

     Tribulation believers who reach out in love to win the lost will be brutally persecuted for preaching the truths of sin and eternal judgment. They will refuse the Mark of the Beast identification system, for they will know that accepting the Mark would constitute allegiance to the devil’s Man of Sin and would cost them their souls. This Mark will be introduced in order to exert control over the earth’s population, and to monitor their movements via communications satellite. By means of a microchip ID implanted beneath the skin, a code number readable by a scanner will link the individual to a huge data base from which  a staggering amount of personal information about him or her can be accessed. The duped masses will be convinced that this is necessary in order to curb rampant crime and prevent further outbreaks of world terrorism.

    The Tribulation saints will be despised and reviled as parasites preying on the hard-won “peace” of the Antichrist’s society. They will be hated by sinners who desperately want to believe Antichrist’s lie that their feelings of guilt for sin are unfounded, and human nature is basically good. 

     When the Two Witnesses appear to preach my impending judgment, hardened hearts will  resent being shown their utter depravity in the light of My holiness. They will report true believers to the law as troublesome insurgents and potential terrorists.   Unable to take their frustrations out on the God in heaven Who sits  in judgment on them, they will vent their fury on His earthbound saints.

      In that evil day, millions will seal their testimony with their own blood.

 

Antichrist Will Fight Dirty

 

     The wicked Man of Sin will use every dirty trick in the book to prevent people from turning in faith to Me.  One of his most deplorable weapons will have been provided by fake ministers of darkness who lived during the Church Age.  He will cite examples of TV preachers who lived like kings on donations supposedly earmarked for famine relief and the spread of the Gospel.  He will ask people why they should  put any credence in a Christ whose chief devotees had   sucked the life blood of the poor in His Name. He will even say  good riddance to Gospel-peddling parasites who were taken out of the world, nevermore to plague humanity.

     A few belatedly repentant charlatans will weakly protest that Jesus had nothing at all to do with their chicanery, and  their continued presence on earth is proof of that.  They will tearfully acknowledge that I  hated their wickedness so much they were left behind while faithful Christians vanished. Nominal “Christian” politicians and preachers alike will weep from abject humiliation when their former evil works, glossed over before  the Rapture of the Church, are  openly exposed for all the world to see. Former fishers-for-funds will bewail their unwillingness to repent before I caught up My people to be with Me in heaven.  Because of them, some sinners will only harden their hearts against Christ, even after the Rapture.  Despite the fact these poor penitents will plead with people not to believe the Antichrist and to learn from their sad example.

     These brave souls will try to make amends by proclaiming the true Gospel of Christ, but Antichrist will execute them for their efforts and try to silence many other believers through fear and intimidation. Antichrist will point to himself as the epitome of Christlike love and unselfish benevolence.  He will cite his successful peace-making policies, all his impressive social welfare programs as proof positive of his own moral superiority to the raptured Church and its Christ.  He will avow that never before had the world been in such a state of calm or people so prosperous as those who swear allegiance to him. Antichrist will remind his ungodly  listeners of  today’s twisted Prosperity gospel.  He will  use it as a springboard to lampoon the saints of God for being poverty-stricken in spite of their trust in the God of Israel.

     Only the Tribulation Period will fully reveal the immense harm done by today’s heartless hypocrites.

 

A Big ME$$ Will Be Left Behind!

Ecclesiastes 9:18; I Timothy 6:9-10; II Peter 2:1-3

 

     Just why are some people apathetic and irreverent toward the things of My Kingdom?

     Because they’ve been burnt by religious racketeers.

     Just as Esau sold his inheritance for a mess (meal) of pottage, many reprobates who once had a pure beginning with Me are exchanging their eternal reward for a big mess of money. There’s big dollars to be made from  religious  shows which are promoted as  the miracle ministry of Christ Jesus.

     I abhor all the trickery which goes on in My Name, all the deception, all the hurts suffered by emotionally vulnerable people who desperately need supernatural help to fix unfixable problems. Clever devils that they are, charlatans hurt wounded souls further by stringing them along with flashy mail-outs which promise the miracle is “about to come”, but they need to keep on sowing, for “those who sow in tears shall reap in joy”.

     Sowing always means money, of course.  Bogus miracle ministries ask for your prayers, but that’s just a smokescreen. Getting you to sow some money seed is their only priority. They suggest that if I didn’t reward you for the last donation, I’ll surely pour out My blessing on you if only you’ll send in the next. 

     Surprisingly, a lot of religious racketeers had a very good beginning with Me.  But such people failed to be sober and vigilant, on guard against the lure of false riches which drowns a soul in perdition.  Usually they get drawn into this shady life of fishing for funds little by little, until they forget their first love for Christ altogether and come to believe  they’re really entitled to poor people’s money. One of their favorite excuses is this misapplied Scripture: The wealth of the sinner is laid up for the just (Proverbs 13:22).

     But those evildoers are without excuse.  Because of the unholy picture they have painted of a Holy God, they will soon be stripped of their wealth and prestige.  I can see them even now from My perspective in eternity, writhing in front of church altars, begging Me to forgive them and take them up to heaven, longing to be with saints who kept themselves  from idolatry and remained connected to Christ through faith.

      I also see the thousands who fell away from Jesus because of their evil example. Many are the lost sheep and backsliders who got so disillusioned and embittered by being duped  that they turned their backs on  Christ altogether and were left behind to suffer the Tribulation Period.  Many will curse those corrupt crooks who hindered them from knowing Christ as Savior; those stumbling blocks who blinded them to the goodness of Christ;  profane scoundrels who twisted  My Word in order to cash in on the desperation and misplaced trust of these naive, hurting people.

     What an awful mess those wicked racketeers will have made for themselves, selling their precious relationship with their Lord for a mess of money.

     Because they so eagerly devoured  lost lambs hungry to find deliverance in Christ Jesus, they’ll be left behind to reap the evil they have sown. They shall eat the fruit of their own doings, and it shall be bitterness to their ruined souls.

  

 

A Rapture, Not a Rupture

Romans 13:11; I Thessalonians 5:9, II Timothy 4:8; Titus 2:13; Hebrews 9:28

 

     Millions of  believers have been wrongly taught that I am only coming for an especially spiritual elite corps of Christians who outshine all others, and that the rest of My Body must be left behind to be purified by the judgments of the Tribulation. This has caused needless fear and torment to a people whom I have called into the rest of faith in the sufficiency of My completed work on Calvary.

    Oh, My people, that teaching undercuts the magnitude of My grace toward My Chosen. The purpose of the Tribulation is to punish the world, not My beloved Bride. The Bridal company includes all my dear ones who have kept faith with me with a submissive, repentant heart. Though they might slip and fall because of human infirmity, those who pursue after the things which please Me Will always call upon Me to lift them back up so they can continue running the race to win the prize of the high calling.

    My Truth is profound, but it is not the convoluted clutter contrived by cunning clergy who are only out to advance their own agenda. The real truth is so simple a child could grasp it.  I promised in My Word that unto those who are looking for My appearing I would appear the second time without sin unto salvation.

     My Appearing and My Second Coming are two separate events occurring at two different times in history.  At the Rapture I shall appear FOR My loved ones to take them home with Me to heaven to celebrate the nuptials of the Marriage Supper of the Lamb, when I shall be spiritually united with My then-perfected Body the Church. At the Second Coming I return WITH them to rule over this globe and restore My law and order to it, to the praise of My Holy Father.

     When I appear to take My own from this evil world,  our separation shall at last be  ended, and you shall be with Me forever.  I shall then be physically present with the  entirety of  My Body the Church, even as I have always been with them in Spirit to guide and sustain them through the dark vale of this evil world.

     Does this idea seem way too lenient to be credible?  A thousand times, no.  Those who are looking for My appearing will love the things of My Word.  They will seek a closer walk with Me, in happy anticipation of that holy hour when My Beloved, once exiled  from Me on earth, shall at last experience complete   spiritual union with the Beloved.

 

 

Darkness will Deepen

Revelation 7:9-17

 

     In the beginning of the Church Age, few had ever heard about Jesus, and His redemptive love for mankind.  The nations of the earth were vaguely aware of a Great Creator Who had brought all things into being, but they were in total darkness about the wonderful Sacrifice I had provided for their sins.  Indeed, very few had any concept of how unutterably holy I am, and how great the need for redemption and reconciliation with Me.

     But now the Gospel message has been proclaimed to the farthest ends of the earth.  There are still pockets of ignorance in this world, and I am concerned for those souls living in remote areas out of reach of modern communications which could reach them with the glad message of salvation in Christ. 

      How true is the scripture: The full stomach loathes a honeycomb! Multitudes fed on lies and living only for selfish pleasures make sport of My Son and even belittle the unspeakable gift He has offered those unworthy wretches. Jesus’ words: Ye must be born again have been lampooned over and over again by fools of the basest sort, and I am steaming with wrath over their irreverence toward My Son.

     This perverse, jaded generation insists on signs and wonders to prove My existence.  It is not enough that I provide daily for them to sustain their lives, and have left My Church in the earth for nearly 2000 years to restrain its darkness with My Love.  Oh no, My goodness and forbearance are taken for granted by this ungrateful generation.

     I am enraged by the way My precious Gift is being hurled back into the faces of My servants by wicked sinners.  Over and over they say: “Religion in general I can tolerate, so long as its adherents keep their beliefs to themselves and don’t try to convert me.” Secular society will tolerate  every vain philosophy and false religion invented by sinful man, but can still be openly hostile toward the true Gospel of Christ.

     Those hard-boiled cynics will soon get their wish.  True Christians will be whisked out of this world and won’t be around to  speak to them of Christ ever again. Never again will Christ-rejectors overhear songs of praise softly hummed by zealous Christians in their workplaces.  Free of the restraining influence of the Holy Spirit, earth’s very atmosphere will become fouled by blasphemies uttered even by the most reserved individuals.

      It is human nature not to notice or appreciate the light until it suddenly goes out. Even as the rebellious Land of Egypt was filled with dense darkness, spiritual darkness will permeate this entire globe.  Some sinners who now revel in subtler darkness  will then become so sick of the gross darkness of the Tribulation that they will cry unto Me for mercy at long last, and I will hear them and save their souls from death.

 

Just Being Here is a Sacrifice for Believers

Luke 21:36; Romans 13:11; Philippians1:21-24; 2:15-16; Hebrews 10:37

 

    Millions of saints have spent their earthly lives in illness, disability, persecution and poverty, while still reaching lost souls for Christ even in their weakness. I did not leave them in this world because they found it so pleasurable to be here, absent from the One they love above all else.  No, it was for the benefit of lost sinners that they had to endure the wearisome trials of living day to day on earth.  I could just as easily have taken every single saint home to heaven after saving their souls, far from the moral decay and hardships of this present evil world. But I chose to share My dearest treasures, and delay the day of My own Son’s wedding for the sake of those yet unconverted. But Christ will not be without His purchased possession the Church much longer. Nor should His saints be denied their eternal inheritance as sons and daughters of God, reserved for the time they shall receive their just rewards and crowns for faithful service rendered in such a world as this. My Son has deferred the day of His own supreme happiness in order to win as many lost sinners as possible before the Rapture, and My people have had to endure a long period of waiting for Him to come in power and Glory.  In this respect, the first have come last, and the last have come first.  Just by having to endure life  in this ungodly, hazardous world all believers have shared in My sufferings for the sake of sinners yet unconverted.  But it is very nearly time for the consummation of the Blessed Hope of the Saints. It cannot be that only heaven will ever be a haven for righteousness!

     My saints are often accused of having an escapist attitude, but My Word exhorts you to pray always, that you might be counted as worthy to escape all those terrible judgments which are coming on this sinful earth!  The time of your salvation is much nearer than when you first believed.  This verse was penned by an apostle who already possessed salvation from  sin, to fellow believers who were likewise saved.  Even in those days they were patiently awaiting their redemption from an unbelieving earth.  This earth, blessed by Me in the beginning as being ‘very good’ has fallen into gross iniquity akin to the days of Noah and Sodom and My people will shortly  be delivered from having to be in it.

     Even that will contribute toward the salvation of unbelievers, believe it or not! Ironically, it has now reached the point where I must remove My Church from this earth before multitudes will be jolted out of their comatose indifference toward Me. In order to spare a vast number of stubborn souls eternal death in hell, I must permit them to endure the lesser anguish of the Great Tribulation.

     There are saints living today who will be responsible for the conversion of thousands because of the enduring testimony they left behind.  They will, through My marvellous grace, win far more souls after their departure than they  will have won during their physical presence in the earth! Their very absence will vindicate their words of warning, now dismissed as silly nonsense by those who persist in being skeptical toward the Word of God.

   Unless I act quickly to redeem My own out of this world, untold millions of apathetic, irreverent souls will continue to mock My warnings and perish forever!

 

The Most Horrible Here$y of All

 Proverbs 22:16; Matt. 12:31-32; Acts 8:18-24

 

     Unspeakably terrible is the newest blasphemy being peddled today:  “The more liberally you sow seed (money) into the Kingdom of God the more liberally God will pour out His Holy Spirit upon your life!”

     A blasphemy spawned by the devil, himself, the father of lies!  The old adage “You only get what you pay for” is being used to pry extra cash out of gullible saints who rush  the stage to enrich a preacher who laughs all the way to the bank. 

     Well, money cannot buy the benefits of Calvary, or My dear Spirit!  What crass presumption and blasphemy!  The sins of these greedy sharks far exceed even the one committed by Simon Magus, the magician who dared to attempt  to purchase the power to impart the Holy Ghost to people.

     I warned in My Word that whoever gives money to the rich is doing Me no favor, and it would lead to his ruin.  How much more grievous an offense is it for a preacher to stand on a stage and rephrase his true intention:  selling salvation and daring to teach people that I dispense My Holy Spirit to seeking believers according to their ability to pay!, inferring that I turn off the tap of My anointing when you leave your spiritual utility bill unpaid!

     How crass!  How stupid!  How devilish!  My Spirit is not gasoline in a pump, that self-appointed vendors can dispense  to those who can cough up the cash! 

     Multitudes, including this writer,  have, at some point in their lives paid a terrible price for being quick to trust charlatans.   Millions are bilked into giving money to  rich religious quacks who go about hawking My favors.  People are led to think their sacrificial donation obligates Me to dispense earthly blessings like a vending machine!  But my grace is not to be toyed with!

     I especially grieve for those who have fallen for this latest heresy, the worst ever!  I see multitudes of heartbroken people who paid a high price for buying the lie of those trying to sell My precious Spirit!  And those who suffer only earthly consequences are far more fortunate than the deceivers who  peddled that damnable lie  of hell!

     Ministers who peddle My anointing are in terrible, terrible danger of damnation.  Simon Peter told Simon Magus, “Pray if perhaps the thought of your heart may be forgiven you.”  Simon Peter said this in fear and trembling, for he wasn’t  even sure if it could be forgiven!  And this magician didn’t go nearly so far as these modern heretics are going, brazenly and boldly leading the gullible to the Pit of Destruction along with themselves!

     I see more than one of these fellows weeping and languishing in front of church altars, begging Me to take them back, once the Rapture has caught up all whose hearts are set on eternal riches which endure.

     How awful will be their doom!

 

Many will Be Orphaned

James 4:4

 

     A certain 16-year-old girl, Tara, living in the city of Philadelphia, will linger for hours at a church altar, clinging to it as if she is terrified to leave it.  She will have deliberately delayed her own conversion, so as to conform to her peer group and not suffer ridicule and rejection at school.  This girl will have promised herself she’d “take care of this religion business” in one more year, after her graduation.  She will cling to the brass altar rail, twisting and writhing as she kneels on the carpet.  Tears will wet her knuckles as she sobs and pleads with Me to take her to heaven.

     “O Lord, please take me too,” she will repeat hundreds of times.  “Please give me another chance.  O God, I’m so sorry.  I’m so scared. I must be in a nightmare! Mom and Dad are gone, my little sister and baby brother are gone and I’m all alone.  I don’t want to die.  Please, God.”

     Arms uplifted in hopes that I will also take her, she will remain kneeling, crying and praying till her throat is parched and she is exhausted.  An older woman kneeling beside her, Rosalie by name, will befriend this young girl orphaned by the Rapture.  She will take her in her arms, and promise to look after her and share her food with  her, although she will convince Tara that she must remain behind to endure to the end of the Tribulation Period.  With forlorn resignation in their hearts, the pair will finally rise from their knees with bowed heads and, arm-in-arm, leave the sanctuary to face the consequences of their previous rejection of My Son.

     Those consequences will not be punishment for their previous sin, for all who repent will have been forgiven and justified by My grace.  The consequences will come from satan and hardened sinners, not from My Hand, and will involve persecution and privations in that dark, gloomy world to come. All who are left behind to face the Tribulation will find mere existence in this world much more of a challenge than they do now, it's going to be so horrible. All the devil's pent-up meanness which was partly restrained throughout the Church Age will be unleashed by then and it will not be easy for believers who receive Christ after the Rapture of the Church. Tribulation believers will have to look unto Me for every single scrap of sustenance. But even in the wasted wilderness of the Tribulation world to come, converts to Christ will find tokens everywhere of My care and concern for them; whisperings of My love in their heart and reminders great and small that I love them. And My assurances that even if they must suffer martyrdom for My sake, as most certainly will, My love and faithfulness toward them stands steadfast forever.

 

The Tribulation Will Bring Bondage

Revelation 13:16-17

 

     There will be a great revival of souls coming to Christ in that dark day.  But there shall also be a revival of slavery, spiritual as well as physical.  Civil liberties will be greatly suspended, as panicky officials try to stamp out the religious fervor kindled by the Rapture.  Gradually the populace will become more accustomed to everpresent surveillance systems.  They will resign themselves to  and the loss of more of their liberties and freedom to move about.  Fearful of terrorism and rampant crime, they  will even  tolerate totalitarian rule for the sake of guaranteed security.  Individual freedoms will become a thing of the past, sacrificed “for the greater good of society”. People’s minds will be channelled by satanic manipulators into a “collective consciousness” philosophy of life.

     Times will get really hard.  A few rich sinners will hoard all the wealth of this world. They will provide what little employment there is during that darkened era. Individuals of conscience will refuse to submit to a politico-economic system controlled by satan. The vast majority of Bible-believing saints will die for their allegiance to the true Messiah, the Lord Jesus Christ.  I will have to supernaturally provide food for My Chosen.

      Cash will become obsolete, and abundance a dim memory.  In America and other Western democracies, many figure-obsessed vain women who had starved down to skeletal thinness for the sake of fashion will die because their poor abused bodies will be unable to endure the coming world-wide  famine. Those who once chose not to eat in time of abundance will, by then, be unable to eat. Well-fed people will feel the terrible toll taken on their own health by the scarcities of a darkened world at war with each other and with God.

   The middle class will become poor, and the poor will become utterly destitute, even homeless.Some, people, the poorest of the poor,  will become so impoverished they will literally sell themselves into slavery in order to eat and survive.  At first, it won’t be called slavery at all, because satan is a master of subtlety.  The practice will be peddled as a benign social experiment whereby an individual barters his talents or labor in exchange for food, shelter, and other necessities, on a long-term contractual basis. It will  be justified on the grounds that “desperate problems call for desperate measures”.The system will be known as “patronage”.  The new class of bonded laborers it spawns will  seemingly be free to run off if they wish.  No visible bars or fences will confine them. 

     But their freedom will be only an illusion.  Any person who wants to benefit in any way from the new social welfare system will have to receive a coded ID chip implanted under his or her skin. Satan will have paved the way for this Mark of the Beast through sowing seeds of fear in a crime-ridden society.   Many people, rich and poor, slave and free, will gladly exchange their liberty and privacy for the so-called security offered by this computer chip, so they can  be electronically traced  in any emergency. Surveillance satellites will be able to pinpoint the precise location of any fugitive slave marked in this way. Swift punishment will fall upon escapees who renege on their contracts with their overlords.

     Horrible wars will produce even more slaves, taken captive from war-torn areas.  They will either submit to  evil and surrender their souls, or die.

     Satan never grants favors to his captives without first tying a millstone of doom around their necks.

 

Repentance, Eroded  Riches, and Revised Values

 

     A heart-broken national leader of great eminence, whose identity I reserve for Myself, will appear on national television and tearfully repent of the bad example he set for his nation and the world.  He will lament that he kowtowed to his spin-doctors and wove a web of deceit for such a long time.  He will bewail the day he indebted himself to the wealthy movers and shakers who put him in power. He will then know there is a terrible price to pay for bending the knee to Baal, and selling godly principles for power.  He will urge his viewers to observe a day of repentance and prayer, but in vain. Most people will laugh at him.

     His troubles will begin in earnest when unbelieving comedians  lampoon his belated efforts to make things right with Me and with his nation. Newspaper reporters will have a field day, gloating over the humiliation of this contrite man.  Lurid caricatures of him will be emblazoned on newspaper editorial pages.  He will never have known such distress in his entire life.

     The wealthy, who have wallowed in luxuries of the flesh, will stand helplessly by as the value of their ill-gotten wealth plunges to zero.  Unaccustomed to hardship, they and their families will grow hysterical. Many will commit suicide rather than endure the  “disgrace” of joining the ranks of the struggling poor.

     In that day there shall be unity and charity among believers.  They will all band together for support as  outcasts of society, and racial and class barriers among believers will vanish.  They will be confronted with a common foe_the Antichrist of the European Union, who will be energized and indwelt by the Prince of Darkness.  Those who fail his test of allegiance by refusing to have his microchip I.D. implanted in their hand or forehead will be branded as traitors and killed if caught.  

     There will be no lukewarm, fence-straddling believers then.  No petty divisions over trivial things will mar their secret prayer meetings.  They will petition Me for food to sustain them and for strength to endure the Tribulation, not for a brand new stereo system or TV.

     Many will face imprisonment, torture, or even martyrdom for My sake.  These saints shall  reign with Me in My Kingdom.  Their surviving brethren shall enter My Kingdom as mortals to repopulate a war-weary, ruined planet which I shall restore to its former pristine beauty.

     Blessed is he who endures to the end, and is not ashamed to own Me as Lord in the midst of the heathen.  Blessed is he who renounces the things of darkness, and forsakes all for My Kingdom. He shall be clothed in garments of white and rewarded with a victor’s crown.

 

The Coming Earthquake

 Isaiah 13:  11-13; Haggai 2:6; Joel 3:3; Revelation  16:18; and 18:5

 

     My indignation is kindled against that stronghold of the spirit of Sodom, that exporter of sexual perversion and violence.  You have peddled your filthy wares to all nations of the earth who have the means to purchase them.  You care not that you are corrupting the minds and morals of vulnerable young people, and gratifying the perverted lusts of hardened sinners who mock My Way of Holiness.  Your bloody, dirty money shall perish with you!

     Through your influence, you have filled the land with bloodshed and violence. You have taught young men that guns give power, and life is cheap. You have taught  women and girls to strip off their clothes to  incite lust in men and  boys.  You have taught them to transform their precious bodies into temples of fornication. You have sunk to the darkest depths of perversion in filming make-believe murders and sex.  You have  greatly accelerated the moral decay of your land by teaching impressionable souls that self-gratification is the ultimate goal of a fulfilled life.

     Woe, woe, woe to that stronghold of filthy fantasies, that city which traffics in all the vices of hell! Were it not for the presence of a few righteous souls in your midst, the ground beneath you would have been ripped asunder  long before now.  But soon I shall take My people up to Myself, where they shall be untroubled by the terrible judgments which are coming upon the earth.  Once the Spirit of Christ resident in My Church has been removed, saith the Lord,  I shall unchain all the restraints in the underlying rock strata, and a great churning shall begin to rip the very bowels of the earth, welling upward and intensifying in force until the very coastline is torn apart and the waves of the sea have swallowed up that stronghold of satan.

    Those who now choose to laugh and disregard My warnings shall perish even as the men of Sodom perished, and be doomed to destruction like the wicked who scoffed at the preaching of Noah.  If I did not spare to send judgment upon them, neither can I justly spare this wicked generation.

 

Woe Unto Sodom’s Sister

Nahum 1:5-8; II Peter 2:4-6

 

     Another wicked coastal   city will lose its hedge of protection once all true believers in Christ are evacuated to heaven in the Rapture. Especially strong earthquake shocks will strike a certain licentious city, ironically named after a holy man who renounced all the pleasures of this world to serve Me.This city shall be torn in two by the earthquake.  Half of it will slide into the sea, the other half will become a flooded disaster area unfit for human habitation.  The  severity of this judgment will be triggered in part by the reverberations of nuclear warfare waged by wicked nations at enmity with one another.

    The West Coast of the U.S.A., where My mighty revival of the Spirit began, shall  receive a double portion of My wrath during the final days of the Great Tribulation.  Why?  Because much more is required of those who receive greater enlightenment about the Lord Jesus Christ and yet brazenly reject Him in favor of wickedness!

     Repent, every sinner who reads this warning and can see the handwriting on the wall.  Those who reject the cautions of My Word against  ungodliness and spurn My salvation will not be spared.  For with a flood I will overturn the wicked.

 

How Long, O Lord?

I Cor. 5: 6-7; 10:17; Hebrews 10:39

 

     In the secret councils of heaven I once asked My Father:  “How long, O Father, Great Eternal Majesty, King of heaven and Lord of every created realm, how long before we deliver our people from having to sojourn in Egypt?

     And He saith unto Me:  “Not long, My precious Son, not long.”

     Now I ask Him:  “How long, O Majesty of tender mercies, must My people dwell in Sodom?”

     And He saith unto Me:  “Until the very last grain of the True Loaf, My Church, is gathered into My garner and Mine  elect have all been hidden in Christ Jesus, their True Ark.”

      Behold how few grains I see trickling into the palm of My Hand after so great a harvest.  How very few persevere with Me, and how great a multitude falls in love with Sodom and turns back toward it.

     Not long, My people, not long, for why should I allow the precious grain in My garner be spoiled by devouring rats and their droppings of sin?  Shall I not, rather, remove you all to a place where you can remain pure in heart and no longer be tainted from having to breathe the corrupt smoke of a wicked Sodom which is appointed to everlasting burnings?

 

 

My Blessing Shall Be Lifted 

Leviticus 26:17-19; Psalms 9:17; Proverbs 14:34; Ezekiel 16:48-50

 

      The Queen of the Nations has prided herself on being My particular favorite; yet she shall be greatly humbled beneath My Hand in that day. I blessed her even to the extent of making her the breadbasket of the earth, an exporter of food to hungry nations. Over many generations I have  sent out missionaries from this land to reach other corners of the globe with the Gospel of Salvation, the Bread of Life.

     It grieves Me to hear reports from My angels that some who profess to be righteous are forsaking the Way of Holiness, dismissing it as being old-fashioned and irrelevant to this modern age.  I have heard that sin is being laughed at, instead of being a source of sorrow.  No longer are the rulers of this land expected to show restraint in their personal behavior, and they are not held accountable for the example they set for the rest of the nation.

     I receive all too little gratitude for the choice blessings I have bestowed upon this fat, overfed land.  I am either misrepresented by liberal theologians, or altogether dismissed as a figment of the imagination or an outdated myth.  Many  are apostasizing from  faith in the unadulterated Word of God. Multitudes are turning to nature religions, rendering devotion to the creature rather than to the Creator.

     When this nation was founded, desperately fearful and hungry people called upon the God of the Bible to deliver them from starvation, and to protect themselves from the dangers of life in the wilderness.  I heard their cry. I even allowed their nation to prosper as no other nation before them had ever done.

     Even as the people of Sodom were sated with their luxury foods and comfortable lives, so the sinners of this land have decided they don’t need Me anymore.  They want an indulgent god who makes no inconvenient demands on their lives, one Who doesn’t care if they keep their sin. The Antichrist will gladly oblige them.

     At that time, all My blessings on this land will be gone.  What was Mine to give is also Mine to take away.  In  this present Age of Grace, I send My rains upon both the just and the unjust.  But once My Church is gone, those who have rejected the knowledge of God will also forfeit God’s blessings. The heavens will become as brass, and the earth will cease to yield her abundance.  Weather patterns will become ever more erratic. Grain reserves will be utterly depleted. Starvation will be endemic.  Heavy hailstones will destroy the scanty crops, and cattle will die in the fields.  Forest fires will consume drought-stricken areas.  Hurricanes, tornadoes and floods will sweep away businesses and homes.  Earthquakes, fires and mud slides will devastate coastal areas.

     Let those who are at ease in  Zion awaken from slumber and seek My face with all diligence.  Ask Me for the power to walk in the victory of My Spirit and to resist the wiles of this evil world.  It is like a harlot beckoning men to their eternal perdition; outwardly gaudy and exciting, but full of rottenness within.

 

Expect My Coming Soon

I Corinthians 1:7b; Philippians 3:20; Titus 2:13; Hebrews 9:28

 

     I am coming for those who are looking for me to come;  those who hold fast to My Truth and believe all My promises are yea and amen in Christ.

     The world certainly isn’t looking for Me.  The world is actually afraid I will come to put an end to its immoral party.  Each year which passes that I don’t return, scoffers ridicule the doctrine of My Return ever more.  But the day will indeed come when their laughter will turn to shock, then fright.  Such sinners will know the same kind of fear known by Adam and Eve, who discovered they were naked in My Presence.  A sinner or backslider is spiritually naked, and wants only to hide from Me, the only One Who can deliver them from the terrible wrath to come.

 

Who I WON’T Take

 (Given to Me in a Dream)

 

     I don’t want to take up anyone who is unkind, ungentle, and unloving in the Rapture.  Such a person would be unfit to dwell in My Holy Presence.  Those of a snobbish spirit would ostracise those who are humble in spirit.  Hypocrites would feel out of place in the heavenly sphere where I am taking My Bride the Church.

     Those who refuse to learn the lessons of My Love in this life shall be left behind to learn them during the Tribulation, when the fires of adversity shall try the hearts of many to see if they are capable of true repentance. The fire will burn away the fruits of the flesh nature, which are fit only for destruction. No one can go on to perfection if he refuses to partake of My divine nature.

     My Spirit weeps over the lack of love manifested through My Body on earth.  And when He weeps I certainly hear Him, and will take appropriate action.

     The greatest tragedy of all:  The Fruits of My Spirit (manifestations of  Christ in you) are  abundantly available to My Church. But in some places My Holy Spirit is quenched and His graces are stifled by worldly saints who deliberately ignore His tender pleas to let Christ live His Life through them.

 

The Devil’s Disciples
