David Wilkerson's Prophecy for these last days

This is an article which speaks clearly of the present times which I am reproducing for our reading

This article was published April 4th.

David Wilkerson was a legendary preacher who truly did hear from God, and a remarkable prophecy that he gave about 40 years ago is coming to pass right now. After watching a video on our new YouTube channel, a viewer mentioned that something my wife and I were talking about sounded exactly like something that David Wilkerson had said close to 40 years ago. I was skeptical at first, but I checked it out. And it turned out that this viewer was exactly correct. Without even knowing it, for years I have been preaching virtually the exact same message that David Wilkerson prophesied nearly four decades ago, and today this prophecy is being fulfilled right in front of our eyes.

In his vision, Wilkerson saw the rise of two "super churches" in the last days. The first "super church" would be deeply apostate, and it would include both Protestants and Catholics. It would prominently use the name of Jesus Christ, but it would be "antichrist and political in many of its activities."

I see the rise of a super world church. I see the formation of a super world church council consisting of a union between liberal, ecumenical Protestants and the Roman Catholic Church joining politically hand-in-hand to create one of the most powerful religious forces on earth. This union is going to start as a cooperative charity program and it will end in a political union. This visible super world church is going to be spiritual in name only, freely using the name of Jesus Christ, but will in fact be antichrist and political in many of its activities. This powerful church union will be deeply involved in social action, tremendous charity programs, and ministries of compassion. Its leaders will make statements about meeting human needs. They will send out a call for social action, political intervention and a greater voice in world affairs.

There is going to be a sudden mysterious chain of events. Just when it appears the ecumenical movement is nearly dead, a rather mysterious chain of events will bring about the framework for this union. Rome is going to insist on and receive concessions from the Protestant ecumenical leaders. The Pope will be considered more of a political than a spiritual leader of this church union.

And this is definitely what we are seeing today. The vast majority of the churches in the Western world have already gone apostate, and we are seeing a major push for churches and religious organizations to work together to achieve political and social goals.

I believe that we are witnessing the early stages of the emergence of a one world religion. The pope and other prominent religious leaders are speaking of the need to "come together" and to acknowledge that "all religions are different paths to the same God." Unity has become a major theme, and the pope in particular has been making a major ecumenical push.

But what really got my attention was the second part of Wilkerson's prophecy.

He saw the rise of a "supernatural invisible church" that would include believers from all churches and all denominations and that would become "a kind of underground church" in the last days.

I see the rise of a super church, a supernatural invisible church, a union of deeply spiritual followers of Jesus Christ, bound together through the Holy Spirit and mutual confidence in Christ and in his word.

This supernatural church of true believers will become a kind of underground church. It will include Catholics and Protestants of all denominations, young and old, black and white, and people of all nations. While this visible super church gains political power this invisible body of believers will grow tremendously in spiritual power.

This power will come from persecution. The persecution madness that is coming upon this earth will drive these Christians closer together and closer to Jesus Christ. They will be less concerned about denominational ties and more concerned and emphasis on the coming of Jesus Christ. The Holy Spirit will bring together as one people in all walks of life.

Without even knowing it, I have been preaching virtually the exact same message for the past couple of years. God burned this message into my heart, and even though I wasn't sure that people were ready to receive it, I have been preaching this message wherever I go.

God is raising up a Remnant in these last days, and this Remnant is going to shake the world. This Remnant is going to keep the commandments of God, it is going to bring in the greatest harvest of souls the world has ever seen, and it is going to move in the power of the Holy Spirit like we haven't seen since the Book of Acts. It cuts across all churches and all denominations, and there is no individual or organization in charge of it. It is an organic move of God that is happening all over the planet, and even though we may know what is happening, there is no guarantee that any of us will get to be part of it. My wife and I are constantly praying that we could be part of this great move of God that is coming, because we very much want to fulfill the purpose for why God put us here.

Back in 2013, I gave the Remnant a very prominent role in my novel entitled "The Beginning of the End." I have talked about the Remnant in countless radio interviews, I have written about the Remnant in my articles, I preached about it on the DVDs that I did last year, and now my wife and I are proclaiming this message in our new television show.

A sleeping giant is rising, and it is primarily happening outside of the institutional church.

In fact, the institutional church is in danger of being completely left behind by this new move of God. I know that a lot of church leaders out there are not going to want to hear this, but it is true. Most of the institutional church has already gone apostate, and much of the rest of it is dead asleep.

Because I proclaim this message so much, I constantly hear from people all over the world that God is raising up to be part of this Remnant. Last month, I got the opportunity to preach about the Remnant at an evening service down at Morningside. Just hours before the service, I received an email from an assistant to a pastor in a Lutheran church in northwestern Pennsylvania, and this email is a perfect example of what God is doing. The following is an excerpt from that email:

I felt compelled to write to you. It sounds so similar to my own journey with Christ.

I presently live in a small town in northwestern Pennsylvania and am serving as an assistant to the pastor in our Lutheran church. My wife and I were missionaries for 51/2 years in the east African nation of Tanzania before returning home in 2011 to take care of elderly parents. I've been an avid student of Bible prophecy for over 30 years and it was shortly after we came back from overseas that I experienced what my wife and I both consider an "angelic" visit. The conversation lasted about 10 minutes with the "messenger" urging me in the most forceful terms to "warn the people" of what is soon coming upon our nation and the world. I knew exactly what he meant and felt deeply convicted to reach others with a "last days" message.

---

All over the world, people are having encounters with God, and they are being instructed to proclaim a "last days message" while there is still time.

Unfortunately, most churches today won't receive this kind of message. Many pastors even know exactly what is coming, but they won't warn the people. There is such a fear that if people get offended they won't keep coming back and won't keep putting money in the offering plate.

So a lot of these churches have adopted a "me-centered gospel" that features Jesus as a self-help coach. They purposely avoid using words like "sin" because they don't ever want anyone to feel uncomfortable, and they only focus on select passages from the Bible that make people feel good.

Of course this watered-down gospel has turned out horribly for the church in America. People are leaving our dead churches in droves, and this is especially true of our young people.

READ: "Is the Antichrist Poised to Enter World Stage?"

If you go into most churches today, you will mostly find "the grays," and I am not talking about aliens. I love my elderly friends, but where are all of the young people? Yes, there are a few of them around, but a whole host of surveys have shown that young adults in America are generally far, far less "Christian" than their parents were.

But that doesn't mean that all is lost. There is tremendous spiritual hunger out there, and people are searching for something real. We are seeing believers all over America gather in home Bible studies and home churches, and the underground church that David Wilkerson prophesied is very much becoming a reality.

Recently, I was contacted by a wonderful sister in Missouri who wants my wife and me to come down there and help teach a small group of believers. Unfortunately, we can't be everywhere at once, and we very much feel called to stay at our current location for now. But I was so encouraged to hear from another member of the Remnant, and it turns out that what God is doing in her life is so similar to what God is doing in our lives.

Like I said, this is a supernatural thing. Just like we have seen throughout history, the institutional church has gotten old and stale, and God is doing an "end run" around the traditions of man as He brings in the next move.

Of course, there are still some churches that are doing a great job, and if you have found one of those churches, you should definitely appreciate it, because it is rare to find a church where God is really moving these days.

Recently, I got an email from a man of God who just spoke with a pastor that has suddenly seen God start to move tremendously in his ministry. The following is an excerpt from that email:

I was on the phone yesterday with a pastor, him being in total shock at the supernatural explosion in his ministry. Healing, deliverance, angelic visitations and the presence of God filling the church. The supernatural is totally off the scale. In Scripture is says in 1 Cor. 2:9:

'But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.'

Now that the pastor's eyes are opened this Scripture takes on a new meaning. I am so excited to see this happening. I wanted you to know.

The Remnant is rising. The "supernatural invisible church" that David Wilkerson prophesied about close to 40 years ago has become a reality, and this is the primary topic of our latest television show. You can watch what my wife and I have to share right here.

In addition, the Remnant is a major theme in my brand-new book that was just released, titled The Rapture Verdict. A lot of people look forward to the last days with fear and trembling, but that should not be the case. We have so much to look forward to, and this Remnant was prophesied by the apostle John nearly 2,000 years ago in the book of Revelation (Rev. 12:17, 14:12). The greatest hour of the people of God is coming, and so it is time for the church to wake up. We are going to write the end of the story, and we are going to bring in the greatest harvest of souls in all of history right before the return of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

So do not fear the hard times and persecution that are coming. Yes, Jesus told us that the period of time just before He returns will be the worst period of time in all of human history, but it will also be a time of purification and maturing for His bride.

READ: "5 Reasons Why I'm Not Worried About the Antichrist"

Without His help, we can do nothing, but with His help, we will experience the greatest move of God the church has ever known, and we can become the kind of bride He deserves.

Jesus deserves a bride that is wildly and madly and passionately in love with Him, and we stand on the precipice of the most dramatic time in all of human history.

As far as my wife and I are concerned, there is no other place we would rather be than right here, and there is no other time we would rather be alive than right now.

We have reached the culmination of all things, and the time of the greatest spiritual warfare in history is directly in front of us.

We will not bend, we will not bow, and we will not break. In the midst of overwhelming odds, we will stand and fight for our Lord and Savior, and in the end, we will receive the crown of life.

If the Holy Spirit is tugging at your heart right now, I encourage you to join the Remnant. You don't have to join any organization or send your money anywhere. All you have to do is to surrender your entire heart to Jesus, and ask Him to make you into the person that He created you to be.

Darkness is rising, but so is the Remnant. And someday, people will look back and they will remember the courageous men and women that refused to back down and that did not love their lives even unto death.

In the book of Revelation, it talks about believers that will overcome the enemy in the last days by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony.

Take up your sword, choose to be a light, and get ready for the greatest time that God's people have ever known.

We are going to be the people that prepare the way for the glorious return of Jesus Christ, and you were born for such a time as this.

Here is an insight analysis by Amir Tsarfati 

The Spiritual Church

This is a transcript from Charisma News which is so relevant for us today.

A spiritual church is not only one that is guided by mature leadership and reflects the character and fruit of the Holy Spirit, but is also one that operates in the various gifts and ministries of the Holy Spirit.

The leadership of any church must be as the apostles of old, given to prayer and the ministry of the Word (Acts 6:4). If they are not, nothing else will work very well. They must have an understanding of the ministries and manifestations of the Holy Spirit. Without them in operation in any church, all we will be left with is a social club, a charitable organization and a place bereft of the real power of God.

This is where we have a real problem today. Many of our church leaders are without the revelation and experiential knowledge of the operations of the Holy Spirit. They have charisma, they have eloquence and they have education and degrees, but they lack an intimate knowledge and understanding of the true ways of the Holy Spirit and how to establish a New Testament church of power.

In addition to the aforementioned, the first foundation a New Testament church must have is prayer. I am not speaking of general prayer, for many possess that; I am speaking of spiritual prayer. The church has greatly limited herself by relegating all prayer to the mental realm or having member pray only with their own understanding (1 Cor. 14:13-15). We need spiritual praying which consists of praying with all kinds of prayer (intercessions, thanksgiving, supplications, petitions, etc.) in other tongues, often with interpretation, and at times with groanings and travail (Gal. 4:19, Rom. 8:26).

Instead, what we have today is a lot of mental praying or praying with our own understanding only, which is very limited, or we have no praying at all. It is not necessarily how many people pray or the quantity that will make the biggest difference, but the quality of praying that will move a church into greater power and the increased activity of the Holy Spirit. It is the smaller and more seasoned prayer groups in a church that will produce the power of God, and not necessarily the numbers of those who participate. I would never discourage numbers, for there is also great power in the larger corporate prayer assembly if led and guided by seasoned ministers, but it is the smaller and more skilled prayer warriors in any church who really get the job done.

Second, in addition to spiritual prayer, a New Testament church must have leadership that allows for the manifestation of the gifts of the Holy Spirit. It must be taught and caught. There must be teaching with demonstration. There must be liberty given to exercise these gifts but with established limitations according to 1 Cor. 14:26-32 that produces order and peace and not disorder and confusion. There must be a protocol established with the example of the gifts of the Holy Spirit moving and demonstrated first through seasoned vessels, and then others who are trained and proven may also enter in.

When the church assembles in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, there ought to be a tremendous power made available through prayer, and there should also be a manifestation of the Holy Spirit's gifts and workings that makes for a joyful and exciting time together. The assembly of the saints should never be boring, dull or listless. We should never know what God is going to fully do in advance. There should not be the predictability that marks so many of our meetings today.

Every time we assemble there should be a newness, a freshness and a spontaneity that prevails. Our times of assembling should be Spirit-filled times, for the letter kills but the Spirit always gives life. He comes to make everything new, fresh and alive again! Learn of Him, yield to Hi, and know that His plans are bigger and better than yours. Glory to God!

The Restoration of Biblical Purity is Within Reach

The holy Temple had become a highly significant topic in the modern State of Israel. Not only because of its archeological value (findings from the Temple Mount date back thousands of years to the world of the first and second Temoples), but because of it’s relevancy modern-day Judaism.

To the Jewish People, the Temple is not just a building that was highly meaningful during various periods of Jewish history, but one that the Jewish People would like to rebuild just as they have rebuilt the Land of Israel. For thousands of years Jews have prayed to God to rebuild the holy Temple “speedily and in our days”.

 Yet, in order to ascend to the Temple Mount and rebuild the Temple, one must be ritually pure. This purity is achieved through a pure red heifer. “This is the statute of the law which the LORD hath commanded, saying: Speak unto the children of Israel, that they bring thee a red heifer, faultless, wherein is no blemish, and upon which never came yoke.” (Numbers 19:2).

 The dream of returning to the land brings with it the idea of spiritual return. For some this seems to be moving backwards in time and for others it is advancing towards spiritual redemption and a different and better world. The future will tell.

An Urgent Message To The Earth

This morning when I woke up and looked at my messages, this was staring at me and I need to share it.

If you feel led by the Lord, please forward it to others as well

The are many speculations in the social media of when the soon coming of the Lord will be.

Today I read an interesting article that some one had used his computer analyzing skills and tools to determine that Jesus would indeed be coming soon. In fact he tried to set a date.

Let us examine what the scriptures said;

Here are five things that the Bible tells us will happen before Jesus returns.

A Falling Away

The Apostle Paul clearly tells us that “the Spirit expressly says that in later times some will depart from the faith by devoting themselves to deceitful spirits and teachings of demons, through the insincerity of liars whose consciences are seared” (1 Timothy 4:1-2). There has undoubtedly been a falling away from the faith; just look at plummeting church attendance. But there is also a falling away from the truth of the Bible with manmade doctrines that have distorted and twisted Scripture to fit what false teachers/pastors/prophets believe. This is a falling away from the truth of God and falling into error, and many are being led astray.

Increase of Lawlessness

Paul also wrote that “the mystery of lawlessness is already at work. Only he who now restrains it will do so until he is out of the way. And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will kill with the breath of his mouth and bring to nothing by the appearance of his coming” (2 Thessalonians 2:7-8). Apparently, the “mystery of lawlessness” was already at work in Paul’s day; but today many who profess Christ do not keep the commandments. And although we can’t be saved by the commandments, those who are saved strive to do so (1 John 3).

Love of Many Growing Cold

Jesus prophecies about the end of the age in saying, “because lawlessness will be increased, the love of many will grow cold” (Matthew 24:13). Paul adds that “people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, heartless, unappeasable, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not loving good, treacherous, reckless, swollen with conceit, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God” (2 Timothy 3:2-4). All you have to do is look at the news to see how lovers of self and haters of others has exploded in the world.

Persecution

The Voice of the Martyrs says that in just the last decade and a half of this century, there have been more killed for their faith than in all the time since Christ was crucified 2,000 years ago. In other words, take all of those killed for their faith for the last 2,000 years and then those killed in the last few decades and we see that more have died for their faith in recent years than in the previous 2,000 years!

Gospel Preached Worldwide

In the Olivet Prophecy, Jesus said about the end times that “this gospel of the kingdom will be proclaimed throughout the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come” (Matthew 24:14). Aren’t we closer than ever to the saturation point of the Gospel today? The Gospel has been proclaimed throughout the whole world on every continent and nearly every people group through ministries, missionaries, and other Christians. Jesus’ return appears to be very close.

Conclusion

Know that these things must happen before Christ appears for the second time (among other things), which include a falling away from the faith and the truth, growing lawlessness, the natural love of many growing cold, increased persecution, and the Gospel being proclaimed worldwide. I believe these have already happened; therefore, I see no reason that Jesus cannot come back today or tonight. All the more reason to hear what Jesus said: “Therefore, stay awake, for you do not know on what day your Lord is coming” (Matthew 24:42). “Therefore you also must be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect” (Matthew 24:44).

AIR BASE NEAR DAMASCUS WAS BOMBED TODAY

Breaking News 

Today Israel has just attacked an airbase near Damascus; apparently this is one of the safest place in Syria. It is believed Israel used ground to ground missiles from the Golan Heights.

The defence minister of Israel mentioned that this action was to stop the Hezbollah and ISIS from getting their hands on the weapons of mass destructions that are stored there by Syria.

Isaiah 17 speaks clearly that the destruction of Damascus will precede the war in Ezekiel 38. The countries that are involved in Ezekiel 38 war are all position around Israel right now.  Both Turkey and Iran are already in Syria which is the immediate neighbor of Israel.

Syria has biological and chemical weapons of mass destruction in their armory.  Syria has been manufacturing these WMD for some time and they have also received many from Iraq during the Iraqi war.

Syria has not reported on this attack because it wants to cover up the fact that their store of WMD has been hit. 

THE GREAT TRIBULATION PERIOD

What Jeremiah saw! 

We are first introduced to the time of the Tribulation in the Old Testament book of Jeremiah, and the prophet calls it the time of 'Jacob's trouble' because it will primarily center on the Jews in Israel. 

This is our first clue as to who will go through the Tribulation and who it will affect. As we have shown throughout this series on the Rapture, when Jesus returns for His Church, made up of believing Jews and Gentiles, and 'catches them away' to be with Him in Heaven, the Bible says that God will once again focus on the Jews, and the great and terrible time of the Great Tribulation will begin. And that's why Jeremiah calls it the time of 'Jacob's' trouble - because it's about the Jews even though it will have ramifications that affect the entire world.

"For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.

And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened." Matthew 24: 21

This tribulation that Jesus refers to is the greatest tribulation that this world will ever see.

The Tribulation is focused on the Jews and Israel

In Jer. 30:4-6, it is the time of "Jacob's Trouble," and is compared in its sufferings to the "birth-pangs" of a woman.

In Eze 26:34 it is spoken of as the time when-Israel shall "Pass under the Rod; "  

In Eze. 22:19-21, we read how that God is going to cast Israel into His "Melting Pot,” where they are to be refined as "gold is refined." 

Daniel speaks of it as a "Time of Trouble" for his people, the Jews. Dan. 12:1.

From these references we see that "The Great Tribulation" is something that has to do with the Jewish people, and is a judgment through which they must pass as a "refining process" to fit them to again be God's chosen people. Indirectly the Gentiles will be affected by it, but the Church will be "caught out" before that "Great and Terrible Day of the Lord."

The Prophet Daniel in his Vision of the "Seventy Weeks" (Dan. 9:20-22) was told that it would be 69 weeks from the going forth of the Edict "to restore and rebuild Jerusalem unto Messiah the Prince." Those were "Prophetic Weeks,” in which each week stood for "seven years,” and they were literally fulfilled, for it was exactly 483 years of 360 days, from the going forth of that Edict, B.C. 445, until Jesus rode in triumph into Jerusalem, A. D. 30, and was hailed as the promised Son of David.

Within a week the Jews had Jesus crucified and then "God's Clock" stopped, and the remaining "one" week, the "Seventieth,” has still to be fulfilled. In the meantime, in the break between the "sixty-ninth" and "seventieth" week, the Holy Spirit is gathering out the Church, and when it is complete it will be taken away, and then "God's Clock" will begin to tick again, because He will again be dealing with. His People the Jews.

It is during this last, or "Seventieth Week" of Daniel's "Seventy Weeks,” that the Tribulation is to occur, and as the "weeks" of the already fulfilled "sixty-nine" weeks, were each "seven years" in length, so this last, or "Seventieth Week,” must be the same.

The length then of the "Tribulation Period" should be "seven years,” but Jesus tells us in Matt. 24:22, that for the "ELECT'S SAKE" Those Days Shall Be Shortened.

The coming restoration of the Jews

You have to remember that the Jews are the one who wrote the New Testament. We Gentiles are forever indebted to the Jews for that. This is what Paul says in the book of Romans -

"Well; because of unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by faith. Be not high minded, but fear: For if God spared not the natural branches, [take heed] lest he also spare not thee. Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which fell, severity; but toward thee, goodness, if thou continue in [his] goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off. And they also, if they abide not still in unbelief, shall be grafted in: for God is able to graft them in again. For if thou wert cut out of the olive tree which is wild by nature, and wert grafted contrary to nature into a good olive tree: how much more shall these, which be the natural [branches], be grafted into their own olive tree?" Romans 11: 20-24

Paul is telling us that we Gentiles have been 'grafted in' to the Olive Tree that is Israel and the Jews, and as such we should not be "boasting' but we should have respect and fear. Because it is a special privilege to be grafted into the family of God, and Paul promised that the Day is coming when the Jews will once again recover from their 'blindness' and see for themselves that Yeshua is indeed the Promised Messiah, and this is what will happen to them -

"For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fullness of the Gentiles be come in. And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob: For this [is] my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins." Romans 11: 25-27

When Israel was restored on May 14, 1948 that was just the beginning of God's Plan in the end times for the Jews.

The character of the Tribulation

While the "Tribulation Period" shall last for about seven years, as to its severity it will be divided into two parts of three and a half years each. The second or last part so far exceeding in its severity the first part as to be known as "The GREAT TRIBULATION."

What was to happen during Daniel's "Seventieth Week" was not revealed to Daniel. He received a communication which he did not understand and was told to "seal the Book up until the Time of the End." Dan. 12:4, Dan. 12:8, Dan. 12:9. All Daniel knew was that the contents of the Book had reference to the "Time of Trouble" that should befall his People at the "Time of the End" (of their sorrows), not the "End of Time."

What that "Sealed Book" contained is no longer a Mystery, for the Apostle John saw the "seals" of that Book broken, and was told to record what it contained. The "Seven-Sealed Book" of the Book of Revelation is the Book that Daniel was told to seal up.

If we want to know then about what is to happen during the Tribulation, all we have to do is to read and study the Book of Revelation from Rev. 6:1 to 19:2 to 19:1.

As the Dragon is cast out of the Heavenlies in chapter 12, and he is cast out in the "Middle of the Week,” it follows that chapters 6 to 11 inclusive cover the "First Half" of the Week, and chapters 13 to 19 inclusive the "Second Half."

The Seven Seals

Revelation talks about a series of seals that are opened; as they are it triggers certain events. Here is a brief overview of these seals and what will happen when they are opened. All the seals occur in the first 3.5 years of the Tribulation, or the first half of Daniel's 70th week.

•

The First Seal - A "White Horse" appears, the Rider of which is uncrowned at first, but is afterward crowned. He has a bow in his hand, and goes forth conquering. This rider is not Christ. Christ as the Lamb, is holding and breaking the "seals" of the Book. He does not appear as a White Horse Rider until chapter 19.The "Rider" is Antichrist, and pictures him before he is crowned and becomes the Chief Ruler of the "Ten Federated Kingdoms" of the revived Roman Empire. He is the "Prince who is to come,” and who shall "confirm the Covenant" with the Jews for "one week." Dan. 9:26, Dan. 9:27. This proves that Antichrist appears at the "beginning" of the "Week" and not in the "Middle" as some claim.

•

The Second Seal - A "Red Horse" appears, the Rider of which has power to take peace from the earth. The symbolism is clear. Red, the colour of the horse, is a symbol of "blood, " and the sword of "war." The time is clearly that prophesied by Christ. Matt. 24:6, Matt. 24:7. The outcome of these wars will probably be the "Ten Kingdom Federation" over which Antichrist shall become the head.

•

The Third Seal - A "Black Horse" appears, the Rider of which holds a pair of scales in his hand and voice cries- “A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine." The meaning is clear. When all able-bodied men are drafted for war, the fields remain untitled and "famine" follows, just as Christ prophesied. Matt. 24:7. The olive and the grape do not need cultivation, so their ruthless destruction is forbidden.

•

The Fourth Seal - A "Pale Horse" appears, the Rider of which is "Death." It is noteworthy that the Riders of the first three horses are not named. They will be recognized when they appear. Hell (Hades) follows in the wake of "Death" ready to swallow up his victims caused by war and famine.       

•

The Fifth Seal - When the Fifth Seal was broken John saw the "souls of martyrs" under the Altar. These Martyrs, whose "souls" John saw are not the Martyrs of "past ages;" they were taken up with the Church, but the Martyrs who will be killed for the "Word of their Testimony, and who love not their lives unto the death" (Rev. 12:11), during the Tribulation.

The "Gospel of the Kingdom" will be resumed. Matt. 24:14. As it is a proclamation that Christ is about to set up an "Earthly Kingdom,” it will be exceedingly distasteful to Antichrist and his followers, and a "Great Persecution" will follow. Matt. 24:9-11. It is the "souls" of the martyrs of this Persecution that John saw under the Altar. They asked that their death should be avenged, but were told to rest for a "little season" until they were joined by their fellow servants and brethren who should die as they did. The promise is fulfilled in Rev. 20:4.

•

The Sixth Seal - When the Sixth Seal is broken great "physical changes" will occur on the earth. Joel 2:30, 31 ; Matt. 24:29; Isa. 13:9-1 Isa. 13:1. So terrible will these changes be that men will call upon the mountains and rocks to fall and hide them from the wrath of the Lamb. The 24th chapter of Matthew should be compared with Rev. 6:1-3.

Between the breaking of the "Sixth" and "Seventh" Seals there will be a pause or interval, during which 144, 000 of the Children of Israel, 12, 000 from each of the Twelve Tribes, will be "sealed." As there were 7000 in Ahab's time who would not bow the knee to Baal (1Kings 19:18), so in the Tribulation there shall be 144, 000 of Israel who will not bow the knee to Antichrist. They are "sealed" by an angel, and the "Seal" is the imprint of the "Father's Name" on their foreheads. Rev. 14:1; 22:4.

Then John saw a "Blood Washed Multitude." Rev. 7:9-11. This are they who come out of the "Great Tribulation."

•

The Seventh Seal - At the breaking of the "Seventh Seal" there will be "silence in Heaven" for a limited period. This will be a period of preparation for the greater conflict to follow. Following the "Silence, " Seven Angels in succession sound upon Seven Trumpets.

The Interval

Between the sounding of the "Sixth" and "Seventh Trumpets" there will be an "Interval, " just as there was between the breaking of the "Sixth" and "Seventh Seals." During this "Interval" a "Mighty Angel" will come down from Heaven having a "Little Book" (open) in his hand. This "Mighty Angel" will be Christ Himself, for the description of Him corresponds with chapter 1:12-14, and as His "voice" is like that of a Lion, this identifies Him as the Lion of the Tribe of Judah of chapter 5:5; and in chapter 11:3, He speaks of the "Two Witnesses" as "My Witnesses." When the "Mighty Angel" shall set His "Right Foot" on the "sea,” and His "Left Foot" on the "earth,” and lift up His hand to Heaven, and swear that there shall be "Time no longer" He shall take formal possession of the Earth. The expression, "Time no longer,” should read, "No longer delay," While Christ at this time will take formal possession of the earth, actual possession will not be secured until He comes again to the Mt. of Olives, at the close of the Tribulation.

As awesome and as terrible as these 7 Seal Judgments are, they are only the beginning of the Tribulation period. After these will follow the seven Trumpet Judgments and the seven Vial Judgments. And it all leads up to the Battle of Armageddon. This period will last, in total, approximately 7 years as God cleanses the earth, restores the Jewish people and uses them to bring the glorious Gospel of Yeshua Ha'Maschaich around the world one more time.

IS THIS THE PRELUDE TO DAMASCUS BECOMING A HEAP OF RUIN?

Report: IDF attacked Damascus military airbase Wednesday

Explosions on Syrian army air base overnight Wednesday; Reports of surface-to-surface strike; Hezbollah media denies IDF responsible for explosions

The IDF reportedly carried out an attack on the Almaza Air Base near Damascus overnight Wednesday.

According to reports from Hezbollah and Syrian military sources, Israel launched strikes around 3:00 am on the Almaza Air Base west of Damascus. Explosions on the military airport were reported by numerous sources in the early hours of the morning Wednesday.

As with all covert Israeli operations, the IDF refused to confirm or comment on the reports. Mixed reports from Arab media claimed the strike was a surface-to-surface missile strike, other reports claiming the Israel Air Force carried out airstrikes from Lebanese air space.

Syria’s SANA news agency reported that “At 3:00 a.m. the Israeli enemy fired several surface-to-surface missiles from inside occupied territory [Golan Heights] … as a desperate attempt to support the terrorist groups,” referring to Syrian rebel forces against Assad’s regime.

Videos and photos of the explosions surfaced through out the media on Wednesday, the Hezbollah supported news agency Al Mayadeen denying Israel was responsible, claiming the explosions were a result of a fire and not strikes.

Last week, the IDF carried out strikes in Syria on Monday a day after ISIS-affiliated terrorists opened fire on IDF soldiers on the Syrian-Israeli border in the Golan Heights. The IDF returned fire, killing four ISIS terrorists. That evening the IDF carried out airstrikes on an ISIS terror cell to prevent “the terrorists from returning to the facility and becoming a substantial threat in the area”.

One day following, the Israel Air Force carried out airstrikes near Damascus targeting a Hezbollah arms convoy as well as a Syrian army arsenal.

Prime Minister Netanyahu made clear that Israel will not allow any threat on its borders stating following the operations “We are well prepared on our northern border and will not allow Islamic State elements or any other hostile elements to use the war in Syria to establish themselves close to our borders. We will not let Islamic State operatives, or other operatives under the auspices of the Syrian war, establish themselves along our borders.”

SHOUT TO THE LORD

Enjoy the worship and sing along 

NATIONS COME TOGETHER TO WORSHIP THE ALMIGHTY

This is a foretaste of what worship in heaven would sound like.

Divine Intervention Like During The Exodus

Israeli Soldiers Report Divine 

Intervention in Battle With ISIS

by Liberty News Staff/ December 6, 2016/ Amazing/ 5 Comments

According to the Conservative Post, Israeli soldiers last week clashed with ISIS terrorists along the Israel-Syria border in the Golan Heights. Those same soldiers later reported, and provided evidence of, divine intervention.

Last Sunday, ISIS gunmen opened fire on a group of Israeli soldiers operating in the buffer zone between Israel and Syria.

Israel Air Force aircraft quickly eliminated the threat. A day later, Israel bombed the local terrorist base of operations – a facility that had been surrendered by the UN.

Israel feared the incidents marked the beginning of a severe escalation in ISIS attacks against the Jewish state.

But then, God apparently stepped in.

DIVINE INTERVENTION

As seen in the following video, shortly after the attacks described above, a literal pillar of cloud appeared, blinding the terrorists, but stopping just at the border and not entering Israel.

Just like the pillar of cloud that protected Israel during her Exodus from Egypt.
