A Fake Christianity (2)
David Eells 10/27/24
I’m going to continue to speak to you about a fake Christianity in the church. I’ve got some revelations to share of judgments coming to the fake church and a powerful Word at the end.
Babylon’s Mega Church Destroyed
Garrett Crawford - 02/3/2007 (David’s notes in red)
I took a nap for a few hours. During this nap I dreamt I was in a shopping mall; this was like a mega mall. As I was walking through it I saw all sorts of stores and restaurants. While I was in what seemed to be the food court, I saw a woman that was scantily clad standing in front of a restaurant entrance. I think this was a steak house, but I am not totally certain. It seemed her job was to entice people to come into the restaurant. (After much meditation on this I feel this is symbolic. The restaurant that served steak represents serving the flesh, and the harlot trying to entice people to come in is like the foolish woman in Proverbs 9:14-15 who sits at the door calling the simple to come in and sin with her.)
After the encounter with the woman in front of the restaurant something led me to go outside. I began riding a bike around the building and I was accompanied by another guy my age and he was on a bike as well. On one side of the mall, we came to this big, huge construction project. It was an addition to the mall, but it was a church! It was really big, 3 or 4 stories tall, which wasn’t completely finished yet. While I was walking through it I saw a group of men that were standing around and admiring the uncompleted structure. They were going to be members of the church once it was built. They thought that this church was going to be the best thing ever. I questioned their discernment because building a church and connecting it to a mall seemed very wrong.
When I voiced my opinion on the matter they quickly scorned me and started making excuses why this was needed. I was really turned off by the idea of this church to say the least, but they seemed to love it and could not wait until it was open to the public. While I was standing in the unfinished building’s nursery or children’s room, I was given a vision. In an instant the scenery changed, the room I was standing in was finished, it had drywall, carpet, and the walls were freshly painted. I was shown how it would look when finished. I had the revelation at this time that around 3 months after being completed the whole church building would be destroyed by God. I was amazed at this revelation, probably because this was no small project, and all the work these men were doing was basically in vain, because they would only get about 3 months’ use out of this church building.
(The mall represents the business of buying and selling in the new World Babylonish Religion that is being built. The enticing woman represents their tolerance teachings that appeal to the lusts of the flesh, which will draw in apostate Christianity. 2Pe.2:18 For, uttering great swelling [words] of vanity, they entice in the lusts of the flesh, by lasciviousness, those who are just escaping from them that live in error; 19 promising them liberty, while they themselves are bondservants of corruption; for of whom a man is overcome, of the same is he also brought into bondage.
20 For if, after they have escaped the defilements of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein and overcome, the last state is become worse with them than the first. 21 For it were better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after knowing it, to turn back from the holy commandment delivered unto them. The restaurant is where they feed appealing food, a fleshly, letter-understanding of the Word.
The church front on the mall is a way to trap the religious people into a system that is of the world. When their discernment was questioned by the real Church, meaning “called out ones”, they moved quickly to persecution as it will be. Garrett said that something led him to go outside where he rode a bicycle. This represents those who will inspect but depart from their religious system. The bicycle represents coming to a true balance. Rev.18:4 And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come forth, my people, out of her, that ye have no fellowship with her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues:
5 for her sins have reached even unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities. 6 Render unto her even as she rendered, and double [unto her] the double according to her works: in the cup which she mingled, mingle unto her double. 7 How much soever she glorified herself, and waxed wanton, so much give her of torment and mourning: for she saith in her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall in no wise see mourning. 8 Therefore in one day shall her plagues come, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire; for strong is the Lord God who judged her.
God will use the beast to destroy their Babylonish temple not long after it is completed whether this is a literal three months or three years. Rev.17:16 And the ten horns which thou sawest, and the beast, these shall hate the harlot, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and shall burn her utterly with fire.)
Jezebel Churches
Darrell Simer - 08/01/2008 (David and R.V.’s notes in red)
These following two dreams are connected and show the sad state of the Jezebel Church.
First dream
I see the beautiful young girl in her mid-20s, and she appears to be dressed in an old-fashioned Spanish or ballroom-type dress; she is dancing and doing spiritual battle and making proclamations. She has this long, elegant sword that she is dancing around with, to make her proclamations. I get right up to her and I notice the sword is made out of PLASTIC; it was just a toy. End of dream. (David: The Spirit in this dream seems to be saying that the making of proclamations in the church by the spirit of Jezebel is powerless; play acting. (R.V.: After reading the first dream the Lord spoke to me and said, “This is the present condition of the church that comes to Me day in and day out, and they think for their fancy outward appearance and knowledge of My word they can wield my Word and have the victory... I say unto them their words will fall at their feet and will not accomplish that which they speak, for with their mouth they speak great flowing, flowery words but they are void of My Spirit and anointing.”
Psa.5:9 For there is no faithfulness in their mouth; their inward part is very wickedness; their throat is an open sepulcher; they flatter with their tongue. Psa.59:7 Behold, they belch forth with their mouth; Swords are in their lips, For, they say, “Who hears?” 8 But You, O LORD, laugh at them; You scoff at all the nations. Jer.9:7 Therefore thus says the LORD of hosts, “Behold, I will refine them and assay them; For what else can I do, because of the daughter of My people? 8 Their tongue is a deadly arrow; It speaks deceit; With his mouth one speaks peace to his neighbor, But inwardly he sets an ambush for him. 9 Shall I not punish them for these things?” declares the LORD. “On a nation such as this Shall I not avenge Myself?” Isa.29:13 Wherefore the Lord said, “Forasmuch as this people draw near me with their mouth, and with their lips do honor me, but have removed their heart far from me, and their fear toward me is taught by the precept of men”)
Second dream
I am sitting on the right side of the second row, up front in a church setting. This woman speaker is going over the announcements of the church events and then pulls out this paper, saying, “Someone else please read this”, and then hands it to this girl sitting in front of me. She sticks out her hand and says, “Oh! No, no, I don’t want to stand up and read in front of all these people”. So the paper is placed in my hands. (R.V.: This body is out of order with its head as a woman. He has revealed to them their error but they do not want to turn: Rev.2:20 But I have [this] against thee, that thou sufferest the woman Jezebel, who calleth herself a prophetess; and she teacheth and seduceth my servants to commit fornication (which is receiving the seed or word of the world), and to eat things sacrificed to idols (of man’s religious organizations). 21 I gave her time to repent, and she does not want to repent of her immorality.
22 Behold, I will throw her on a bed of sickness, and those who commit adultery with her into great tribulation, unless they repent of her deeds. The Word is the Word is the Word and He will not change it for anyone; passing the buck to someone else will not be an excuse. He revealed His will to the woman and how out of order she was. She decided to hand it to another woman, but He revealed the same thing to her. At this point they chose to hand off to a man.) (David: Isa.3:12 As for my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. O my people, they that lead thee cause thee to err, and destroy the way of thy paths. 1Ti.2:12 But I permit not a woman to teach, nor to have dominion over a man, but to be in quietness.)
Back to Darrell’s dream: I looked at her and said the same thing: “I don’t want to stand up and read in front of all these people”. I turn to my wife (who’s very knowledgeable with big words) and ask her if she will read it, she says, “No, it was handed to you. You read it”. (R.V.: The man wants to hand off to his wife but she knows her place and refuses to usurp his authority. This is a type of how the true body is to operate. 1Cor.11:3 But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God.)
I don’t want to read in front of everybody either, but I know it must be read, so I stand up to read it to the assembly and I notice the words are extremely long and most of the words I don’t even know, much less try to pronounce. So I tell everyone, “Please bear with me and I will do my best at reading this”. I look at the paper and I tell everyone, “Say, if you all don’t mind, I’m going to read it, but I’m going to use my prayer language”. (David: In other words, I am going to let the Spirit speak.) (R.V.: Rom.8:26 In the same way the Spirit also helps our weakness; for we do not know how to pray as we should, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words; 27 and He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because He intercedes for the saints according to the will of God. 1Cor.14:14 For if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prays, but my mind is unfruitful”. When one prays in their spirit it bypasses the mind and allows one to pray without flesh and therefore not tainted by the mind and what it knows.)
All of a sudden the spirit of GOD comes upon me and instead of reading the paper I give a word of knowledge and sense I’m rebuking the entire assembly. I find myself listening to the words coming out of my own mouth and I am quoting scripture word for word. (David: If the anointed men will take their position by faith, the Word of the Lord will come forth from them and it won’t just be a lifeless exercise.) (R.V.: This is a true dream from the Lord and it reveals the condition of the present-day church and the Jezebel it has turned into, and its pride of wanting to remain as it is and not turn or repent. This open rebuke is an end-of-the-hour cry of the Lord to His body to turn and repent or His hand of judgment is coming to her. He will put a hook in her jaw and take her to a place she wishes not to go and a fate that will shake her dry bones and harlotry to the core.)
Luk.13:34 “O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the city that kills the prophets and stones those sent to her! How often I wanted to gather your children together, just as a hen gathers her brood under her wings, and you would not have it! 35 Behold, your house is left to you desolate; and I say to you, you will not see Me until the time comes when you say, ‘BLESSED IS HE WHO COMES IN THE NAME OF THE LORD!’”
Spiritual Earthquake for the Church
Sean Starr - circa 05/14/2012 (David’s notes in red)
5/14 is a clue because this is when we had a spiritual earthquake at local UBM in 2011 and God separated some factious people from us. It appears this is coming to the whole church.
From an elevated view (a spiritual view) I looked down at an angle upon a big city at night. The city’s many, very tall high-rise buildings were center point of my view. (The city could well represent Babylonish U.S.) I understood that there was going to be a great earthquake that would have devastating effects and great casualties. I had the sense that I had been repeating the warning, but if not, I was certainly heeding it, as it was my intention to keep my distance from ‘the strike zone.’ (Come out from among them, saith the Lord.) It was also in the back of my mind as to the certainty of the warning - would this be another ‘Jonah prophecy’ or Micah’s 3rd call? (Would they heed the warning and escape judgment?)
The bull’s-eye seemed to be the city’s stadium, which was fixed a bit to the right of my position, or what I would understand to be the east side of the city. At the stadium there was a congregation of sorts. It strikes me now as a certain mega TV church, a ‘pay as you play, Sunday go to meeting’, church. (A stadium is usually people from all over and could represent the US apostate church.) At my elevation I see Michael Boldea walk in front of me -- from right to left (or east to west) -- as though he had just come from the stadium. Shaking his head, dejected, frustrated and most notably exasperated, he spoke words to the effect of, ‘I told them... They won’t listen. I told them.’
(The worldly church is not taking the warnings of judgment to repent so a great shaking is coming.) Heb.12:25 See that ye refuse not him that speaketh. For if they escaped not when they refused him that warned [them] on earth, much more [shall not] we [escape] who turn away from him that [warneth] from heaven: 26 whose voice then shook the earth: but now he hath promised, saying, Yet once more will I make to tremble not the earth only, but also the heaven.
The following verse is taken from the Numeric English New Testament because it shows rightly so that the word “things” was not in the original Greek here. 27 And this, Yet once more, signifieth the removing of the [things] shaken, as of [things] made, that those not shaken may remain. We have personally seen an example of this removal since 2011. Notice that the people who are shaken will be removed by it so that those who are not shaken will remain are not leavened. This is a spiritual earthquake made up of many tribulations that will cause a falling away from the Church because of disobedience to the Word. The Lord says that judgment begins there.
28 Wherefore, receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us have grace, whereby we may offer service well-pleasing to God with reverence and awe: 29 for our God is a consuming fire. And Father will burn up the wood, hay and stubble in our lives OR He will NOT have us in His Kingdom. This Kingdom is where He rules.)
It seemed like someone (from the stadium?) said to him, ‘Where are you going’ or ‘Stay’, to which he replied, ‘No. I’m going home to be with my family -- where it’s safe.” (2Co.6:17) Wherefore Come ye out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, And touch no unclean thing; And I will receive you... It is not safe among the apostates where judgment will fall but among the true disciples of Christ who walk in sanctification there is safety.
From my relatively fixed position, I watched and waited for a moment. It wasn’t long before the earthquake came. The [religious] stadium was the epicenter. A report came quickly – ‘It was a 6.9’. That is a sizable quake, especially for a big city, but there were no (physical) deaths. Then I woke up. (We see in this dream that “a great earthquake that would have devastating effects and great casualties” but has “no (physical) deaths” must be spiritual casualties and devastating effects to the “pay as you play Sunday go-to meeting church” crowd that people like Michael warn about. A spiritual earthquake is a shifting of the earth of lives.
I suppose the judgments that are coming, like the economic collapse, natural earthquakes, war, martial law, loss of jobs and homes, loss of freedom, loss of political and spiritual influence in the U.S., while there is no pre-trib rapture, and disappointment in the failure of their prosperity doctrine, could well bring a lot of casualties as far as a falling away. Romans is the sixth book and the ninth chapter [i.e. a 6.9 quake] and it speaks of the falling away of the non-elect like a shifting of the earth, while the elect bear fruit. Whereas the first mention of 6:9 -- in Genesis -- is Noah being called out to build an ark to save his house from the flood. And the first mention in the New Testament, Matthew 6:9, is Jesus teaching His disciples to pray to the Father to be forgiven and delivered from evil.)
This is my first dream where a personal/family warning or admonition is not the focal point. I don’t know the city, or Brother Michael Boldea. (I believe this is a personal family warning for the worldly Church to repent and humble itself and consider true discipleship before the greater falling away comes.)
This text was given to me concerning this: Isa.29:1 Ho Ariel (meaning: the lion of God), Ariel, the city where David encamped (Zion/Jerusalem)! add ye year to year; let the feasts come round (a time of coming judgments): 2 then will I distress Ariel, and there shall be mourning and lamentation; and she shall be unto me as Ariel. 3 And I will encamp against thee round about, and will lay siege against thee with posted troops, and I will raise siege works against thee. (In the natural this was the Assyrian army encamped around Jerusalem which failed to conquer her. In the spirit this is the demon possessed beast people who war against Zion, the Bride.)
4 And thou shalt be brought down (or humbled), and shalt speak out of the ground, and thy speech shall be low out of the dust; and thy voice shall be as of one that hath a familiar spirit, out of the ground, and thy speech shall whisper out of the dust. (Zion will be crucified and humbled before God, which is good, but their adversaries will be destroyed.)
5 But the multitude of thy foes shall be like small dust, and the multitude of the terrible ones as chaff that passeth away: yea, it shall be in an instant suddenly. (In the natural, this was the 185,000 men who died of Sennacherib’s army while warring against Zion. In the spirit, it is those who die spiritually warring against Zion.) 6 She shall be visited of Jehovah of hosts with thunder, and with earthquake, and great noise, with whirlwind and tempest, and the flame of a devouring fire. (To burn the wood, hay and stubble so the gold and silver and precious stones may remain.)
7 And the multitude of all the nations that fight against Ariel, even all that fight against her and her stronghold, and that distress her, shall be as a dream, a vision of the night. (They will vanish.) 8 And it shall be as when a hungry man dreameth, and, behold, he eateth; but he awaketh, and his soul is empty: or as when a thirsty man dreameth, and, behold, he drinketh; but he awaketh, and, behold, he is faint, and his soul hath appetite: so shall the multitude of all the nations be, that fight against mount Zion. (Notice: Ariel is Zion, which the nations of the harlot and beast will seek to devour but will be greatly disappointed.)
Crucifying the Church in Tribulation
B.A. - 11/17/2012 (David’s notes in red)
Jer.18:1 The word which came to Jeremiah from Jehovah, saying, (2) Arise, and go down to the potter’s house, and there I will cause thee to hear my words. 3 Then I went down to the potter’s house, and, behold, he was making a work on the wheels. 4 And when the vessel that he made of the clay was marred in the hand of the potter, he made it again another vessel, as seemed good to the potter to make it. 5 Then the word of Jehovah came to me, saying, 6 O house of Israel, cannot I do with you as this potter? saith Jehovah. Behold, as the clay in the potter’s hand, so are ye in my hand, O house of Israel.
I dreamed I was in a dungeon with six other women (I believe all these women represent the seven churches) and we were in fetters and chains. It reminded me of Paul and Silas: Act.16:23 And when they had laid many stripes upon them, they cast them into prison, charging the jailor to keep them safely: 24 who, having received such a charge, cast them into the inner prison, and made their feet fast in the stocks. 25 But about midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns unto God, and the prisoners were listening to them. I was trying my best to comfort these women and encourage them not to give up, but to have faith and trust in the Lord’s promises and mercy. They asked me, “How can you be so positive? Look at this place; it’s wet and damp and cold, and it stinks! They are probably going to starve us to death, as well!”
Wow! Talk about a tough crowd! But I knew this is what the Lord had been preparing me for these past several years. Don’t listen to their bad report; remember Joshua and Caleb. They got to enter the Promised Land because they believed God! Num.14:6 And Joshua the son of Nun and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, who were of them that spied out the land, rent their clothes: 7 and they spake unto all the congregation of the children of Israel, saying, The land, which we passed through to spy it out, is an exceeding good land. 8 If Jehovah delight in us, then he will bring us into this land, and give it unto us; a land which floweth with milk and honey. 9 Only rebel not against Jehovah, neither fear ye the people of the land; for they are bread for us: their defense is removed from over them, and Jehovah is with us: fear them not.
And in Heb.3:7 Wherefore, even as the Holy Spirit saith, To-day if ye shall hear his voice, 8 Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, Like as in the day of the trial in the wilderness, 9 Where your fathers tried me by proving me, And saw my works forty years. 10 Wherefore I was displeased with this generation, And said, They do always err in their heart: But they did not know my ways; 11 As I sware in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest. 12 Take heed, brethren, lest haply there shall be in any one of you an evil heart of unbelief, in falling away from the living God.
I was praying in the spirit and praising God when I heard the large outer dungeon gates squeak open and two jailers came and released us from our bonds, and told us to come with them. We were taken up a spiral stone staircase that seemed to go on forever (coming out of the darkness into the light). Suddenly, we reached a landing and a door to my right sprang open and the jailers took us through the door. We found ourselves in a large dome-like room filled with a bright light. There was a red runner (the blood of Jesus) on the floor like you would see at the academy awards for the actors to walk on. Mat.26:28 for this is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many unto remission of sins. There was a large man (Jesus) standing on the red runner with a vessel in one hand and a large, thick rod in the other. (The vessel is the flesh that must be broken and the rod is the rod of chastening that breaks it.) I stood praying for all of us, as I knew something was about to happen to us.
The man with the vessel and rod pointed at each one of us and lined us up. Then he commanded the first woman to come forward and stand before him. He dropped the vessel onto the floor and it broke into many pieces. He then ordered the woman to bend down and pick up all the pieces. As she bent down to pick up the pieces, the man took his staff and hit the woman across her back as hard as he could. I heard the woman’s shoulder blade snap in half and she fell very hard onto the floor; the pieces of the vessel gouged into her flesh and blood gushed out of her body. She was not able to get up and the two jailers came and carried her away.
Then, he commanded the second woman to come forward. Again, the man dropped the vessel on the floor and it broke into many pieces and he commanded the woman to bend down and pick them up. Just as she bent down, the man took the rod and hit the woman as hard as he could on her back. Like the first woman, she fell to the floor onto the broken pieces. I did not hear any bones break and she did not appear to be bleeding as badly as the first woman. She was able to get up on one knee. The two jailers came over and carried her away. (Some may think this harsh but so is the tribulation on those who are not yet sanctified; it will be a crucifixion of self.)
This process went on and on with each woman. I noticed as each woman was called up, they seemed to be less and less injured. Then, it was my turn. (A quick read of Revelation 2 and 3 shows this breaking of the six churches, some more, some less in the coming tribulation.) The man looked at me and said, “Come and stand before me”. So I did. As I was walking toward this man, I was actually joyful and confident, as I knew his rod was not going to hurt me. I watched as he dropped the vessel onto the floor and then ordered me to bend down and pick up the pieces. So I bent down and then I saw the rod pass right through my body and to the floor with a bang. I thought, ‘Cool. Not even so much as a scratch. Thank you, Lord!’ Then, as I reached down to pick up a piece of the vessel, it was instantly put back together right before my eyes, like it had never been broken; it was a perfect or perfected vessel.
You see, in this revelation, I had already gone to my cross; I was already dead to self. Gal.2:20 I have been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I that live, but Christ living in me: and that life which I now live in the flesh I live in faith, the faith which is in the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself up for me. (Revelation 3:7-13 shows that the Philadelphia Church will escape the hour of trial that would “try them that dwell upon the earth”, rather than “in Heavenly places in Christ”. This Church represents the Bride who, like the Shulammite in Song of Solomon, the Bride in Esther and the Bride in Psalm 45, will escape, being in the King’s house on earth. This is no pre-trib rapture, for the Bride will raise up the virgins, as in these cases.)
B.A.’s note: I believe this to represent the condition of the seven churches. Some have not died to self at all and need a crucifixion. And some had died a little but still have a long way to go. The tribulation will perfect those who are willing to go to their cross for their crucifixion. We must lose our life in this world as it says in Mat.16:24 Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man would come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. 25 For whosoever would save his life shall lose it: and whosoever shall lose his life for my sake shall find it.
Church Oblivious to Judgment at Hand
C. L. Gregory - 07/28/2010 (David’s notes in red)
A few days ago, God spoke a verse to me and since then it has led to other verses and thoughts, and they all consist of the last days and the state of the church and this nation.
Long story short, last night I was going to bed, when I asked the Lord to show me what He was trying to tell me and I believe I got my answer.
I dreamed I was driving at night up a road much similar to a rural area of a Tennessee mountain town. In the passenger side was my grandmother (why she was in the dream was beyond me). (Like old grandmother, the Church has been with us for many years. We may have been born there but left because there wasn’t much life there.) As we drove, I noticed we approached a hill and there was a small gas station on the left side of the road, but what I saw farther up the road shook me with fear.
As I was nearing the very small station, I saw up the hill and over the top was a large mountain, a volcano, which was erupting but there was no sound, no thunder, no nothing. Imagine the night image of a volcano with a large mushroom cloud as flakes of ash are falling down. (A quiet, unheard of judgment from hell is in the direct path of the end-time fruit of the woman Church, represented by Gregory.)
I turned into the gas station and ran over to the woman attendant and told her to run, get away, for the volcano had erupted. (A warning to those who, like the “small” old Church, have only “a little power”, represented by the “very small gas station”. A few will escape when they hear the Word from people like Gregory.) What got me was my grandmother, old and wise in her years, was alert at first and was telling me advice about life and things, but then she fell asleep. (Many of those who only know the teachings of the old Church have fallen asleep and they are ignorant of the judgment that is coming.)
For some odd reason, I could not drive the car away, for only she could drive it, but she kept falling asleep, but I had to act quickly. (Those who are members of this old Church must awaken to escape on their own but we can help them by our strength through faith and prayer.) I picked my grandmother up into my arms. She still would not wake up, even though the danger was nearing us. In my spirit, I knew that the most dangerous event was the volcano’s silence. As we left, I peered out of the mirror and the volcano was getting more violent. (We must repent, meaning turn around and escape, putting the judgment in our rear-view mirror.)
We finally made it to a shelter (Refuge in Christ and for some, in the TN mountains.), when my grandmother awoke, but the reality was, she could not warn the others before, for she had fallen asleep. We watched as the lava reached down alongside of the buildings and homes of every sort, which had been on the wall of the volcano and I said, within my dream, “Thousands will die from this tragic event, all because we could not and did not warn them”. (And because the rich and political powers have hidden these things from the public so that it is a quiet, fiery judgment coming upon the world. Many are caught in the deception of a false prosperity gospel and they have no spiritual discernment of the season we currently are in.)
Then the dream ended.
The meaning: It was earlier today, which I felt God speak to my spirit and revealed to me that the volcano I saw was an impending judgment that was about to come. My grandmother, I believe, represents the church: wise, old and established but has fallen asleep. The fact remained, I believe God was showing me that something IS coming and the church is so busy caught up into the cares of this life that it does not see the mountain before them which is about to blow, and when it does, they won’t know it until AFTER it comes.
I believe wholeheartedly that there is something tragic coming on this nation, but the church, which should be praying, preaching the truth against sin and immorality, and warning the world of God’s anger, is asleep.
It Is Judgment From the Father, Church!
Ellie McBride - 09/04/2008 (David’s notes in red)
I dreamed I went to my parents’ home. Upon arriving, I learned that their neighbor was having a party and that mom was at the neighbor’s house. I walked next door to their neighbor’s house and found my mom; she was drunk. So I escorted her home. (Ellie’s mother is the old church, which is drunk on the world and not in touch with reality and not abiding in the Father’s house.)
As I was leaving my parent’s house I heard my mother cry out. I ran back to find my father was angry with her and had his hand raised to hit her with a silver-colored hanger in his hand. I immediately got between them and prevented him from hurting her. (The Father is angry with the church. A hanger is for clothes that are in a closet not being used. Rev.19:8 And it was given unto her that she should array herself in fine linen, bright [and] pure: for the fine linen is the righteous acts of the saints. It is misguided to try to save the church from the Father’s chastening but by intercession on their behalf God could grant repentance and then deliverance that is needed.)
I decided to take my mother with me. As we were about to walk out the door I looked down at her and saw that her bottom lip was quivering like a child who knew she was in trouble and wanted to cry. (The church will experience grief for their rebellion when they find the Father is not pleased with them being stuck in their idolatrous ways.)
Then like a magnet she returned to my father’s side, and I as well. She was looking up at him and appeared very sad and remorseful. I began to say to my father, “Look at her, Father, she is sorry; she is sorry”. “Forgive her, Father; forgive her”. Then he embraced her and the dream ended. (Oh, praise God! This appears to be a promise that through chastening the elect in the church will repent and be saved from further judgment. Repentance is necessary to withhold judgment.)
The Chosen Leave the Universal Church
Lisa C. - 03/20/2010 (David's notes in red)
My niece, Corin, told me of a dream she had a few days ago. She was going to meet a friend, Sarah, at a dance/prom. However, she was surprised when her grandmother dropped her off at a Catholic (meaning universal) church where she met Sarah. They heard the pope was about to be renounced. (My niece attends a Catholic school that her grandmother pays for. Also, she mentioned that she did not know the meaning of the word “renounced”.) (There are two applications to this dream. The Pope here represents the leadership of the Catholic Church in the natural but spiritually represents the corporate leadership of the universal, apostate “Christian” religion. This church is the mother of many protestant religions. After receiving this dream, the pope of that time was renounced by many for actions taken many years earlier when he was a priest. He was accused of enabling a pedophile priest to continue to molest children and some are leaving the Catholic church because of this. Likewise, many are about to leave the universal, apostate “Christian” religion after realizing they have been raped by their apostate leaders. Of late, 2024, the pope has spoken some reforms which are encouraging. Pray for Him.)
There were many people in the church. She saw the pope in his garments of white and gold; with the hat he normally wears, but she saw him holding two gold rods with his arms crossed like Pharaoh. (Like Pharaoh, the apostate leadership of the apostate church has held God's people in bondage long enough. It is time for Moses who was raised under Pharaoh to lead them out. More importantly, the apostate church will be renounced by multitudes of the elect who will come out to join the people of God in the wilderness tribulation.)
He told the people he was going to bless them with the Holy Spirit. When he did, she began to shake. (My niece was baptized in the Holy Spirit with evidence of speaking in tongues several weeks ago. She began to shake and fell out under the Spirit speaking in tongues.) She said that the shake in her dreams was a shake that she was forced to do. She said that her friend began laughing and that she told her friend she could not stop shaking and that it wasn't funny. She compared it to the first time she shook and said she knew the Holy Spirit was doing it but in her dream she could feel her body forcibly shake. (So we could pray this reformer pope would pray for them to receive the Holy Spirit. Years ago there was another pope who received the Holy Spirit and was a Charismatic pope playing the guitar in Charismatic services.) 2
(The Holy Spirit is going to forcibly shake His people in both the natural and spiritual Catholic church and they will come out from among them. Hos.11:1 When Israel was a child, then I loved him, and called my son out of Egypt. 2 The more [the prophets] called them, the more they went from them: they sacrificed unto the Baalim, and burned incense to graven images ... 11 They shall come trembling as a bird out of Egypt, and as a dove out of the land of Assyria; and I will make them to dwell in their houses, saith Jehovah.)
Then she turned and saw Oprah Winfrey drive up to the church in a black Hummer. She did not know why Oprah would come. (Oprah is a representative of a universal, generic god religion that is holding people captive, and she is also part of the child trafficking DS pedophiles whom people will renounce.)
A shaking will come to God's chosen people who are captive to the worldly churches and they will see the light and come out from among the multitudes who love not the truth of God's Word.
Turning to the Home Church
Jared Smith - 12/28/2008 (Thoughts in italics) (David’s notes in red)
My dream started out like this: I was walking around the main, well-lit auditorium of the church I had attended for four years before I left last May. There was something different, though. There was no stage, no pulpit, no band, no choir and no musical instruments. There was just an auditorium. (When the church goes underground all of this will not be possible.) All around I saw groups of people, 8-10 in size, having their chairs circled around one another and sharing about the Lord and what He was doing in each of their individual lives. There were no leaders in the groups; everyone contributed his or her own testimony and part in the group discussion. The subjects of the multiple conversations would change at any given time and there would be polite interruptions here and there, at least from what I could overhear. I was in the presence of something amazing. I was in the presence of a mass home church gathering inside a once-popular traditional church auditorium.
Up until this part in the dream, I believe that I may have been in a place in time of the future. This time may be once the Man-child ministry is birthed as well as the Two Witnesses. What I mean is that the traditional everyday way we do church compared to the unpopular uncommon way of doing home church had taken a role reversal, where home church is now the most common and popular way. (This will come about during the first 3 ½ years of the tribulation to prepare for the second 3 ½ years when large gatherings will not be permitted for the beast will make war on the saints. The church will go underground. The five-fold ministry will travel from group to group although not altogether.)
As I was marveling at this magnificent and encouraging sight, I was walking away from the auditorium and made my way through the doors to the rear foyer. There was a door to my right that was a hallway running along the rear of the auditorium. I went through this door and noticed complete darkness, as there were no lights on. This was contradictory to the well-lit auditorium where the mass of the Body was fellowshipping. I noticed to the left of the hallway the silhouette of office doors that had light shining through. The light was not as bright as the main auditorium’s lighting, but there was just enough to show that there were doors to those rooms. I began to walk down the hallway and entered one of those rooms. To my amazement, I saw the leader who was “over” me the four years I went to this church. He had a group around him, though not as large as the groups I saw in the main auditorium. This group was maybe three or four in size.
Let me pause here to share my thoughts. I believe that the well-lit auditorium and the fellowship that was taking place was the “new mainstream” Christianity that is going to happen during the Man-child and Two Witness ministry. The darkness that I sensed in the hallway was the lack of God’s Spiritual Light and Blessing that many had followed because they could not accept the “new way” of Christianity. They continued in their traditional practices, and eventually became the outcast. Yes, there were spiritual principles still being preached, which may explain the small hints of light within the office rooms, but nothing of the magnitude (revelations, dreams, visions, prophecies) as in the main auditorium. (The Man-child and two witness ministries will be impromptu and unplanned gatherings as it was mostly in the bible. The powers that be are unable to plot against these meetings
The topic of discussion (of course the leader was running the show) was how to build a model train set. (In other words, let me tell you how the cars should follow in the leaders tracks.) I found the topic interesting in that I used to build model train set layouts with my dad back in the day, so I knew a little about how to build a layout and what materials were needed. I slowly made my way into the room and sat down, unnoticed to anyone. I sat there for a few minutes and listened to the conversation on how to build this model train set. After hearing what I heard, the group was planning things all wrong. The materials were not right. The amounts of materials were not right. The layout planning and blueprint were not right. What was going to be built based on this wrong planning was going to be a disaster. I felt led to speak up and try to correct the matter. I did so. I forget exactly what I said, but I was immediately corrected by the leader and was told to be quiet.
What is unusual about this is that my presence was not made known until I spoke up. In the same sense, we as Christians (Saints) need to profess and speak up to the traditional church and tell them of what is to come. Let our voices be heard and our presence be known, with boldness. This is the first time I was rejected and corrected by the leader at this point in the dream.
I obeyed, and rested against the back wall, again disappearing out of the conversation and what seemed to be the small group within the office room. I was ignored and then seemingly forgotten about. So the leader went on and on and kept on messing up the planning of the layout of the model train set. I endured and lasted only a few minutes, until the time that I HAD to speak up again. I did so. This time I received an even sterner rebuke and correction from the leader, saying I should shut up and not be heard.
Notice that I seemed to disappear from the conversation and even the group because my voice was not heard anymore. The next time you hear me say something, I immediately become known again, and corrected and rebuked as such. This was the second time I had been done so up until this point.
So I sat back AGAIN and this time I was somewhat irritated because of my lack of opportunity for my voice to be heard. These people and this leader were messing things up and I KNEW the right way to build a model train set, but yet they did not want to listen to me.
Use of the model train set as a metaphor of the truths we hold inside our hearts as Saints, preparing for the Tribulation, the Outpouring of the Holy Spirit, the Man-child and Two Witness Ministries… We are silenced and looked upon as crazy when we talk about these truths to traditional go-to-church-on-Sunday-and-tithe Christians...
I could not hold it in any longer. I HAD to speak up yet again, but this time more than the other two times. I HAD to tell these people their method and process was all WRONG. I was going to tell them the RIGHT way, the way that would build a successful and beautiful model train set layout. I rose to speak, but this time, the leader knew of my presence before I spoke a single word. His eyes were filled with anger and rage, and he was about to give me the harshest of rebuke and corrections for interrupting HIS presentation and discussion... when all of a sudden these words came out of my mouth: “Before I am corrected and rebuked AGAIN...”
At the spoken word “AGAIN”, the entire group, as well as the leader, were silent and looking at me with their jaws dropped and having a sense of fear among them, as if, what is he going to say next? I guess one could associate this with the TRUE REVELATION of the real truth made known to a traditional church-going Christian, how one could be at awe and amazement and fear of having these truths being revealed to them.
At this point I had the floor. I spoke for a good while on the proper methods, procedures, materials and processes of building a beautiful, successful model train set layout. The group members were stunned at my knowledge of model train set layouts. They could do nothing but sit there motionless and listen to my words. The leader was disgusted, jealous that all the attention was taken away from him and that no one was listening to him. By the time I was done giving my presentation, I opened the door to exit the room. To my amazement, the three or four in the group followed me into the main auditorium. The leader was left in the little, dim office room alone. Before I left the room completely, I spoke directly to him and said, “And you, sir, are an ass!!!” Which is not my normal vocabulary. This was the end of my dream.
You may be wondering where the “ass” part comes in. I am reminded of a Scripture that was a prophecy in the Old Testament of the Messiah riding into the city atop a donkey’s colt. An ass is a male donkey, very stubborn in his ways. In the same sense, the Messiah Jesus Christ will have “dominion” over the ass (old, stubborn, traditional way of church even in the End Times). Christ sits atop the old way and has dominion over it. Straight and narrow is the way unto the Kingdom of God. Enter in through the Door, which is Jesus.
Now, here are my final thoughts. Christ was denied three times by Peter during His crucifixion. I was denied three times by this leader during my attempt to show the truth. Once one breaks past the barrier of religious teachings and practices of the traditional church with boldness that can only come from the Spirit of God, it becomes easy to speak to traditional church-goers on the real truths the Bible shows. They will marvel at what you have to say, because it is contradictory to what they have been taught their entire church lives. It is truth. It is the Word of God. It is the coming of Christ in His Glory and the events that transpire prior to His coming. It will attract the hearts of the people who are hungry for God through this time to come.
The leader, who represents the old traditional church ways that survived through the time of the Man-child and Two Witness ministry to come, will be disgusted and jealous and will do everything to prevent the true Word of God from being preached. It is this ministry of old traditional ways that the Antichrist will use to deceive people when the Outpouring occurs. Be cautious and be alert to the enemy’s attacks. This will be a major part of it, I believe.
(This is happening on a smaller scale now. We have been in contact with many home churches that are not satisfied with the status quo and are searching for themselves. This is great because they are discovering what the false elders are not gifted to discover -- THE WORDS OF GOD. But we are also encountering a problem that is not addressed in this dream. The groups who have no local elders are targeted by slick talkers anointed by false spirits to gain a following for their own ego. In some cases it is not hard to lead the young back to Babylon since they have not departed very far from its glitter. According to Paul, the five-fold ministry is needed for the perfecting of the saints. Just coming out and sitting in a close circle and sharing insights and experiences is not enough. The elders raised up by the two witnesses, which are disciples of the Man-child going forth two by two, will travel around to these underground groups to share a many gifted revelation they could not get in the nicolaitan pastor only church.
We do our best to fill the gap by Internet, broadcast, Podcasts, and YouTube, but it is not enough. We know the teachings are giving many people knowledge but wisdom is on a longer curve. Until it catches up, we are going to need many more elders. This, of course, is what God will raise up in the next move of anointed reformers spoken of. Ordaining elders is hard when you haven’t enough personal contact to know them. This is where the stronger anointing will be more than enough to take up the slack. Come quickly, Lord Jesus! Meanwhile, the saints who gather need to be praying for wisdom and discernment and not be quick to form their own governments, which the worldly gifted and domineering types always take advantage of. We don’t want to copy the old system or we will be part of it. May our Father be with you.
Judgment of the Church
Dee Hoetmer - South Africa - 06/10/2008
I was pacing the floor, not willing to give forth this Word and the Lord gave me Ezekiel 33.
Ezekiel 33:1 Again the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, 2 Son of man, speak to the children of thy people, and say unto them, When I bring the sword upon a land, if the people of the land take a man of their coasts, and set him for their watchman: 3 If when he seeth the sword come upon the land, he blow the trumpet, and warn the people; 4 Then whosoever heareth the sound of the trumpet, and taketh not warning; if the sword come, and take him away, his blood shall be upon his own head. 5 He heard the sound of the trumpet, and took not warning; his blood shall be upon him. But he that taketh warning shall deliver his soul.
6 But if the watchman see the sword come, and blow not the trumpet, and the people be not warned; if the sword come, and take any person from among them, he is taken away in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at the watchman’s hand. 7 So thou, O son of man, I have set thee a watchman unto the house of Israel; therefore thou shalt hear the word at my mouth. And warn them for me. 8 When I say unto the wicked, O wicked man, thou shalt surely die; If thou dost not speak to warn the wicked from his way, that wicked man shall die in his iniquity, but his blood will I require at thine hand.
9 Nevertheless, if thou warn the wicked of his way to turn from it; if he do not turn from his way, he shall die in his iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy soul. 10 Therefore, O thou son of man, speak unto the house of Israel; Thus ye speak, saying, If our transgressions and our sins be upon us, and we pine away in them, how should we then live? 11 Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord GOD, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: Turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, o house of Israel?
For the Lord has mingled a perverse spirit in her midst for she desired not the truth in her innermost parts. She desired the trinkets and baubles of ministry, to be seen and heard and not that I be seen and heard. She desired to be looked up to instead of the cross looked upon; the sacrifice of My Son that would bring all to true righteousness, humility, compassion and truth if the work of My Son was truly understood by them. The work of redemption was completed on the cross and it is only as My children live a crucified life that they are fully sanctified and fit for My use. But those with a perverse spirit do their fleshly works from unclean hearts and call it MY Ministry?
I have allowed the perverse spirit in her midst to come into full bloom, so to speak, for now it will reap the full reward for such unclean works. The works of the flesh mingled with the moving on My Spirit; the mixture, the uncleanness of My church has become a stench in My nostrils and her cup of abominations has reached the Throne Room. Shall I then not recompense into her bosom all her unclean works? Should I stand by forever while the name of My Son is profaned?
Should I stand by when the harvest is ripe but all the while My church is full of abominations? No I will utterly destroy those of unclean hearts, with perverse spirits and make an utter end of their abominations! I will bring to an utter end all of her house and her perverse children and doctrines that they have spawned and spewed forth throughout the earth. I will make desolate the places where they thought they were fat and rich with the things of the spirit and the things of the world and uncover their skirts so that the world will see their shame.
1 Timothy 6:5 Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that gain is godliness: from such withdraw thyself.
I will make an utter end of those who have denied the wooing of My Spirit to came back to the ancient paths, I will make an utter end of her and her household who have chosen to remain unhealed due to their pride and self-love and I will bring judgment and correction to the many who have spurned and denied the words, My Words, through My true prophets.
A perverse spirit has long ruled in many of My churches and congregations and the cup is full of their vain imaginations, vain glorious ways and self-exaltation. The cup of My wrath is also full of their unjust judgments, harsh and critical ways both towards the true children of the Most High Lord and Father and towards those they esteem lesser than themselves. What a putrid stench reaches My very Throne Room. It is not only the sins of the world and their love of mammon that I came now to judge but also those of My own household who walk in the same spirit as the world.
Would I as Righteous Judge shake the Babylonian systems of the world and not shake My church who have become as the world? Will I judge one and not the other; but NO My Word says I will judge My own household first. I will uncover all the hidden things and expose you to the world for your hypocrisy, for your lack of love for the widows and orphans, for you have feathered your own nest first and given only the crumbs to the needy and the poor. You have exalted yourself and your ministry. Was not the ministry of My son to the wretched, the poor, the lepers and the outcasts of society? Did not He lay down His life for others?
Now you begin to see just how wretched, poor and naked you truly are. You have stored up treasures for yourself on earth and not in heaven. You gave not that cup of water to the beggar, you stopped not to dress the wounds of those bloodied and you did not stop to bind up the broken hearted. My true people are servants of even the most wretched and yet you wouldn’t let the wretched into your churches for fear that they may stink up your pews.
Do you not see that you have become wretched, poor and naked while you thought of yourselves as blessed because you had no material need? You have been blinded by the prince of this world and although i have wooed you and wooed you, you have not answered. There is no fragrance of My Son emanating from many in My church but rather a stench of mixture and pride, of control and manipulation, of lust and greed. What has my son to do with any of these unclean things?
Repent o’mighty man, repent o‘mighty woman of all uncleanness, of all mixture in your lives for how will I judge and shake the earth and not judge those of my own household? The doctrines you have taught have made many under you teaching twice the sons of the devil than you are! They have become blinded by the prince of the air and know it not, for you have not taught them well. Humility is what I desire and not vain glory; mercy is what I require and not indiscriminate judgment; selflessness is what I require and not selfishness.
Do you not now see just how far you have left my word, for you have taken only portions of my word and made it doctrine but it is in the sum of my word that my whole truth lies! You have taken that which suits your flesh and made it the complete gospel and conveniently left out the scriptures that speak of humility, of not laying up treasures for yourselves on earth, of loving one another.
Did not Ananias and Sapphira think they could keep things hidden? Did not My Son call the religious leaders of His day a generation of vipers and filthy whited sepulchers and tell them they were of their father, the devil? Was not Jerusalem utterly destroyed? So why then do you think in your hearts that this is a false word from a false prophet? Repent and return to me with you whole hearts so that you may be spared from the coming judgments, the likes of which have never before been seen.
Mat.23:33 Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell?
Mat.23:27 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are like unto whited sepulchers, which indeed appear beautiful outward, but are within full of dead men’s bones, and of all uncleanness.
Act.5:3 But Peter said, Ananias, why hath Satan filled thine heart to lie to the Holy Spirit, and to keep back part of the price of the land? 4 Whiles it remained, was it not thine own? and after it was sold, was it not in thine own power? why hast thou conceived this thing in thine heart? thou hast not lied unto men, but unto God. 5 And Ananias hearing these words fell down, and gave up the ghost: and great fear came on all them that heard these things.
Mat.23:37 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not! 38 Behold your house is left unto you desolate.

Pastor Phillip Barnett - Azovmena 1 Prophecy
https://youtu.be/ip4xEGh-u5M?si=50v6E8B-WtybEHpb
Recorded 4/27/2022 in Tulsa, OK at Lewis Ave Church of God of Prophecy
Transcription: Pastor Phillip Barnett begins saying, I would always keep a pad of paper and pen on my nightstand so I could write down any thought, or Word from the Lord. On this particular night I had this dream and it was amazing with a lot of scenes and it was very long. I knew it was from God, but I laid back down and fell asleep without writing it down and when I woke up I could not remember anything. I fasted and prayed for 2 weeks what the dream was about and I left it with the Lord. Then on January 18, 2007, I went to bed and I dreamed the dream all over. In the dream I knew what the next scene would be because I had seen it in the dream before. I realized while dreaming that God was giving me the dream again that I had 10 years ago that I had forgotten!
In this dream I saw 8 large rocket-shaped mountains and the tops had a nuclear warhead. They were in crescent shape and they were frozen. (Saved for a later time.) Over the next few days, God revealed to me what these rockets were and that there would be a war between the United States and a reformed Soviet Union, including Russia, Belarus, and eastern Ukraine. (Where the Russians are at the time of this attack.) Those rockets would be American nuclear missiles that would destroy eastern Ukraine; the first one would hit Kiev and then it would circle around to Sumy, Harkoff, and all the cities to the bottom of Odessa. All of eastern Ukraine would be destroyed. (Warheads peeling off a multiple warhead ICBM missile. Did the (DS) Deep State steal the launch codes for these missiles?)
I was in central Ukraine and a few days later, I’m thinking about how there’s no mountain like what I saw in central Ukraine. I’m on a bus and so I asked somebody on the bus, “What is the name of this mountain?” A woman said what sounded like an Italian word, like ‘Azolemna’ or something which sounded like it had a lot of vowels. I tried to repeat what I thought I heard and she said again, “Azov Mena”.
Later as I was on the floor praying to the Lord about the name of this mountain, God said write it down. So I wrote down the letters of the name: A, Z, O, V, and then, M, E, N, A. I connected AZOV to the Azov Sea and then I connected “Mena” to the interpretation of the handwriting on the wall in Dan 5:26 This is the interpretation of the thing: MENE; God hath numbered thy kingdom, and brought it to an end;
I then heard the Holy Spirit say, “From the Azov Sea to the Belarus border, from the Dnieper River over to the Russian border (Kiev is on this river), all of eastern Ukraine will be destroyed by these 8 American nuclear missiles.” (All the evidence of human trafficking and labs creating biological weapons the DS wants destroyed and of course depopulation.)
God revealed in the dream that Russia would invade Ukraine, there would be a holocaust against the Jews, (Two signs before the nukes go off; Russia did invade Ukraine and the nations are attacking Israel now.) and He urged people to flee, especially from the heavily populated Donbass area with approximately 11 million people. God spoke to me for five hours during the night and gave me four visions. The day after I had the dream, which was exactly the same as the first one 10 years prior except I was much closer to the 8 nuclear missiles that were going to be launched…
That night I was praying and the Lord spoke something to my heart and I went to write it down and I had a vision. I saw that all eastern Ukraine from the Azov Sea up to the Belarus border, and from the Dnieper River to Russia was black; it had been burned black by nuclear bombs that had fallen in that area.
The Lord gave me 4 visions this same night and after each vision, I asked the meaning of the vision and the Lord would give me the meaning. This went on for four hours. Then the Lord told me to go into the kitchen and when I went into the kitchen, I looked out the window and see several clouds in the sky, each in the shape of cars, buses, and trucks, and they were moving in two distinct lines from downtown Kiev towards southwestern Ukraine. I saw one huge cloud in the shape of a large bus over downtown Kiev. The wind had blown these clouds to the southwest.
God then spoke to me, saying, “There will be two evacuations from Kiev. The first one will take place when the Russian army is about to occupy Kiev and the second one will come when the nuclear war between the reformed Soviet Union and the United States takes place.” About 3 ½ - 4 weeks after this war started. There were hundreds of thousands of cars in deadlock trying to get out of Kiev. I saw this on TV and realized the next part of the prophecy would come next. (The third sign comes to pass.)
This paragraph is a summary (Pastor Barnett recounts going all over preaching his prophecy about Russia invading Ukraine and the reactions it received. He had preached this prophecy at various churches in Ukraine where he was invited. He received many death threats on social media. Many people thought he was crazy and did not believe him and thought it all was impossible. He continued to preach his prophecy. The end of 2013 comes around and a revolution begins in Kiev and then early war begins. The then-President Yanukovych of Ukraine made a public plea on Russian television for Russian troops to invade Ukraine. Yanukovych's request came before the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine, which had already resulted in thousands of deaths. He shares how the governor of the Donbas region in Ukraine had made a plea on Russian national television for President Putin to intervene and "destroy the fascists," who are ruining this country and killing children.)
My family and I left Ukraine after God had given me 17 dreams urging us to return home in the United States. The fighting began in Donbass after President Yanukovych had requested the Russians to come in and take Ukraine. Donbass is where all the mineral resources in the industry and the metal industry’s at in Ukraine. This is what the Azovmena Prophesy in 2007 said would happen. These things began in 2014, 7 years later.
A man contacted me from Ohio who had watched the Azovmena Prophecy in 2007 and he was living in Kiev at the time, and the Holy Spirit spoke to him that this is true; this war is going to happen. Russia is going to invade Ukraine. He told me he moved to Levi in western Ukraine and then thought that wasn’t far enough away, and he needed to move to America. So they’re now in Ohio because he believed the prophecy. Another family who heard the prophecy and believed it, moved their family to California and they escaped the invasion of Russia. Many thousands of people who heard this prophecy including many Jews were saved because they moved before Russia invaded.
Amo 3:7 Surely the Lord Jehovah will do nothing, except he reveal his secret unto his servants the prophets.
God told me that I could not leave anything out of this prophecy and I can’t add anything to it. He said, “If you preach it just the way I gave it to you, I will give you more.” He told me that I need to share these prophecies, not just in Ukraine but to many other countries.
So next I’m going to share now about the nuclear war that is coming to America. What states and cities that will be destroyed and what states and cities that will not be destroyed. (He doesn’t share “cities not destroyed” in this video.)
In Azovmena 1 Prophecy, God put me on a building in Mobile, Alabama. As I’m on this building, I see (in vision) Russian ICBM missiles coming across Canada to America. I could see from the Rocky Mountains all the way to the East Coast. From where I was standing, I couldn’t see Florida and I couldn’t see anything on the west side of the Rocky Mountains.
The first ICBM to hit America destroyed Chicago. The next one hit Milwaukee WI, but it was way up in the air; it didn’t come down lower in the air, but was way up in the atmosphere, where it blew up over Milwaukee. (This would destroy Milwaukee and EMP a large portion of the country.)
The next one I see hits Cleveland OH, then St. Louise, MO, Memphis, TN, Nashville, TN and New Orleans, LA, then Little Rock, AR, Denver, CO, and Albuquerque, NM. 10 warheads
Later on God gave me a dream and in it, I saw two sets of flights of Russian bombers and they weren’t the big giant bombers, they were medium range bombers that would have to fly off of an aircraft carrier and be refueled in the air. One flight had four planes, and the other flight had two planes. They all had nuclear cruise missiles, and they dropped the missiles. (I believe the Lord told me in His mercy this part would not happen.)
Here's what I understood of what I saw in the dream. Three nuclear bombs will hit New York City and two will hit Washington D.C. One will hit Baltimore, MD and one will hit Boston, MA (He misspoke “Maryland” in the video, but correction is made to Boston is on screen.) Now that’s seven nuclear missiles, but six planes that I saw. So evidently, one of the bombs to hit NYC, will be an ICBM because I only saw six of these planes with nuclear cruise missiles to hit cities in the northeast. Cincinnati… (He gets off track here and doesn’t come back to these missiles in this video. Possibly because the Lord said these bombers will not fly in His mercy.)
(He shares how he faced opposition and death threats for sharing this prophecy, particularly from people in Russia. Then he goes on to preach the tribulation begins … He states how the Bible is no longer U.S.’s foundation and the Obama administration has made law that men can marry men and a women can marry women. He states that 62 million babies have been murdered…and America will pay the cost in blood. (As it did to Sodom and Gomorrah and it is beginning with the DS’s weather warfare. Abraham bargained with God and an angel took Lot and family out of Sodom before the cities were destroyed. [Come out of the big sin cities.] So I asked God would He delete this judgment and only got that He would lessen it because of His mercy. Since I have seen extreme mercy from God on the world lately, I jumped right to the end of the bargaining and asked if one missile from U.S. and one missile from Russia would be enough and He said “Yes”. I was surprised but God said He wanted to show His mercy again. Keep in mind that the U.S. ICBM’s have 5 warheads and the Russian ICBM’s have 10 warheads. But God will be in control as His Word says.) …
Russian Nuclear Exchange with U.S.
Garrett Crawford- 4/29/22 (David’s notes in red)
I dreamed that everyone was stocking up on food at a grocery store late at night. (Insiders are warning to have at least 3 to 6 months of food stored up. As far as believers go, we know that God shall supply our every need according to His riches in Glory.) I saw many people rushing at the last minute to get prepared. There was a general sense of uncertainty in the air. Many who had been expecting an event to happen were already prepared. (And it may be that these will have to help those around them and miracles will happen.)
For some reason Sylvester Stallone was in the dream and he was getting prepared too, but he had lost heart and his courage had left him. He was not mentally or spiritually prepared. (Sylvester plays the part of a strong warrior, so to speak, but it appears even they will lose heart through the things coming.)
I told him he could stay with me as I had been preparing for this for some time. (The most important way to prepare is spiritually, for the Word says, “Righteousness delivereth from death.”)
As we were leaving the store, I noticed many people's cars had been stolen from the parking lot while they were buying supplies. People came out to find their cars were gone, they were in disbelief. Sylvester and I thought that my car had been stolen too but we eventually found it. (Having their cars stolen out of the parking lot represents that rest and peace will be taken from the vessels of many. Also in the natural the DS would do this to put people at their mercy which is nil.)
We were somewhere talking and he could not understand why I was happy and not scared. He felt he had so much more to live for on this Earth and he was upset that it was all being taken from him. (Many lives will be turned upside down in order to get their attention and cause them to seek the Lord once He has destroyed all their worldly idols.)
I, on the other hand, had no love for the world and the things in it, I could literally feel nothing because this Earth had no hold on me. I felt freer than any man alive. (John 12:25 He that loveth his life loseth it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal.)
Around this time, I had a flashback to the beginning of the day. It was light outside and the sun was out. I was walking through the parking lot of the grocery store and the Word of Lord came to me saying, “At this time the wise will shine brighter than the sun and will instruct many.” (The wise will be anointed with the wisdom of Jesus and will instruct many in the way of righteousness.)
The next thing I knew, the scene changed and I was at my dad's house in Bethel. (Representing the Father’s “House of Bread”. Those feeding on the Bread from Heaven, Jesus Christ, the Word of the Lord, will be in the rest.)
I was all alone with my dogs and cat. (The elect among all the factious dogs and the rebellious cats to God and His Word will return to the Father’s house.)
I remember watching the war in Ukraine taking place over my dad's house, like an open vision, but it was something tangible that I was actually experiencing. (Like the death angel that passed over the houses of the Israelites, this “war” and its fall-out will pass over the elect of God.)
I saw that America had been assisting Ukraine. I even saw America launching attacks to aid Ukraine, but there was a grave mistake made and an American missile had been launched accidentally and it hit a Russian target. (Notice, “one missile” as I was told although I did not remember this dream. Will this be accidental or on purpose? The DS has been provoking the nuclear option and would love to escalate this conflict to continue to deflect away from the declass of all their evil crimes that are coming to light and to depopulate and to try to derail the elections so that they can hold on to power. Also it was admitted that the U.S. helped the Ukrainians sink the Russian flagship Moskva and it was an American missile. No one would admit this unless they wanted the Russians to retaliate against the U.S. as the DS does. Moskva led the naval assault during the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, from February 2022 until her sinking on 14 April 2022.)
This so called, ‘accidental' Missile strike caused the whole world to stop. Everyone wondered what Russia would do, but no one expected that Russia would retaliate against America. (Putin has come out publicly and warned that any attack on Russia by NATO or U.S. and Western forces during this Ukraine conflict would be reciprocated, presumably against the DS, since he knows they are the real enemy.)
Then I watched what appeared to be a large missile silo open and a projectile came out and was fired at America. (Notice one missile) The missile hit America inside her borders and everyone was in a state of shock. No one actually believed Russia would retaliate but they did and with fierce wrath. (Putin and Russia have been fighting the DS and they would know this missile is coming from them. They would pick their targets accordingly. Get out of blue cities and states.)
The weapon they used made 7 waves of fire blast throughout America like fiery shockwaves. The sound of the weapon was like a siren. Every blast was accompanied by the most ominous siren sound; seven blasts and seven sirens. (This is a multiple warhead missile. Also, could seven blasts announce the approach of the seven trumpet judgments of the Tribulation as in the first dream?)
After the last blast I looked outside and America was on fire. It was just 1 missile launch from each side and after Russia struck with their missile they did not continue. (A measured response to stop the war.) It was like an eye for an eye. I felt in the dream that America was playing a dangerous game with Russia that backfired. (Even though the military has moved interceptor missiles to the coast in the night, they evidently didn't intercept this. The Russian ICBM missiles have 10 warheads that spread out to different cities and are considered by many to be unstoppable due to its evasive maneuvers. The U.S. ICBM’s have 5 warheads so it’s not an equal response but God who “works all things after the counsel of His own will” can easily change this unbalance.)
Everyone in America was in complete disbelief. I heard a man say, “I can't believe they did it, I can't believe they actually attacked us!”. After the blasts I surveyed the damage and my dad's house was still standing. Both my dogs were in the house with me and survived. I opened the front door (Jesus) and my cat was there. (Many of the rebellious who are God’s elect will return to the Father’s House of Bread.) He had survived the carnage even though he had been outside of the house. Then I woke up.
Let's pray and ask mercy of the Lord on this.
Here is the war that begins the seven year tribulation, which two of these dreams speak of. Rev 6:3 And when he opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature saying, Come. 4 And another horse came forth, a red horse: and to him that sat thereon it was given to take peace from the earth, and that they should slay one another: and there was given unto him a great sword.
An Angry Bear Awakens
Excerpt from Dumitru Duduman’s Prophecies
April 1997
I knelt by my bed to pray, as I do every night before going to sleep. After finishing my prayer, I opened my eyes, but I was no longer in my room. Instead, I found myself in a forest. I looked around, and to my right I saw a man dressed in white who pointed his finger and said, “See and remember”. It took me a while to find what he was pointing at. It was a small bear who seemed half dead lying on the ground.
As I continued to watch this bear, it began to breathe deeper. With every passing minute it seemed to revive itself, and, as I watched, it also became angrier. It then began to grow. Soon it was larger than the forest floor, and as it grew larger, it continued to become angrier. It then began to paw the ground, so that when its paw would hit the ground, the earth would shudder. The bear continued to devastate all that stood in its path until it came upon some men with sticks trying to fend it off. (Don’t pay any attention to the lies, the Russians have won this war in Ukraine but the DS needs a bigger war that hurts the US and Russia, their two worst enemies. The Russians have taken down the Nazi’s, the bio-labs, the tunnels and dungeons with the captive children, and the evidence of DS crimes, etc.) By this time the bear had grown so large that it simply crushed the men underfoot and continued its rampage.
I was stunned by what I saw and asked the man standing beside me, “What does this mean?” “At first they thought the great bear was dead,” the man said. (If you listen to MSM’s silliness.) “As it will begin to stir once again, they will consider it harmless. Suddenly, it will grow strong once more with purpose and violence. (They have made tremendous advances in weaponry.) God will blind the eyes of those that continue to trample on the sacrifice of Christ's blood, until the day the bear will strike swiftly. This day will catch them unprepared, and it will be just as you saw”.
The man then said, “Tell my people the days are numbered and the sentence has been passed. If they will seek My face and walk in righteousness before Me, I will open their eyes that they may see the danger approach. If they only look to the approaching danger, they, too, will be caught up and trampled underfoot. Only in righteousness will they find safety”.
Suddenly, I was once again by myself in my room, on my knees, with sweat covering my face.
Five Major U.S. Cities Nuked
Richard Swanson
Author of the book Spare Your People
In 1971, I saw, in a dream, limited nuclear war in America. (Or one missile with multiple warheads) I beheld two or three short successive orange-colored flashes of light off in the distance towards the north. These flashes, which produced a strobe-light effect, literally lit up the nighttime sky.
As they occurred I could briefly see the outline of some mountains from beyond which the flashes came.
The next morning - in the dream - as I was walking through a field of swamp grass, I heard a news report over a transistor radio which was attached to a corner pole of a lean-to. The news report said: “Washington, D.C., New York City, Chicago, Denver and San Francisco have been struck by thermonuclear warheads”. (Five DS strongholds the Russians would target. In 1971 the Russians likely had mostly 5 warheads per ICBM. They have been updating these to 10 warheads. But they could use a five warhead missile which would even the odds and bring peace.)
By the time the broadcast said “Denver” I was in the Spirit. I was standing beside Jesus. I then realized it was Jesus Who was giving the news report, and what I was hearing over the transistor radio was the Word of God. As He spoke, His words could be heard throughout eternity.
As Jesus said “Denver,” He pointed there, and as He did, the Holy Spirit showed me, though it was not quite dawn, exactly where Denver was. It was still night in San Francisco, yet the Holy Spirit showed me where that city was too. I then looked back toward the East Coast. The sun had already risen there and through some cirrocumulus clouds, I could see the Florida area. I suddenly realized I was up in the heavens looking down.
I also knew that during this limited nuclear attack I would be in Florida, very close to the Alabama border. (Phillip Barnett was in AL too) Several years later I discovered that this part of Florida is indeed swampland, just as in the dream.
Bride Protected as the Wicked are Nuked
Bill Steenland - 4/23/22 (David’s notes in red)
I dreamed I was in my kitchen preparing dinner. (Representing the preparation of the spiritual food to feed God’s elect.) I was suddenly translated to a place in the mountains. (This represents the choosing of the Bride by bringing Her to Mt. Zion which is a place of safety from the Beast?) Although I was incredibly surprised about the miracle, I knew why the Lord had done it. I had a horrible feeling and immediately started searching the skies. I said to myself, “Oh my God! This is it and it must have started!”
There was a light orange flash way, way off in the distance. (The people to be judged will be spiritually far from Zion and the presence of God.) I saw the top of a mushroom cloud. The Lord was letting me know nuclear weapons were going off in a distance that I couldn’t physically see. (Back when this dream was given: I asked if we should pray this down by faith and got a “NO.” When I forwarded this dream to Eve, she cast lots asking the Lord if we can pray this down? And she received 3 Tails for “NO”. ... Has God planned to chasten the U.S. in spite of their silly thousand years of peace on a wicked nation?)
Back when this dream was given: I asked, “Is this the DS cities being destroyed?” And got “Yes”.) As in a nuclear attack there will be desolation, waste, and astonishment as the Lord said in Eze 35:2 Son of man, set thy face against mount Seir and prophesy against it, (The leadership of the Edomites who are Esau's seed who persecuted and betrayed their own brother, Israel.),
3 and say unto it, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I am against thee, O mount Seir, and I will stretch out my hand against thee, and I will make thee a desolation and an astonishment. 4 I will lay thy cities [or congregations] waste, and thou shalt be desolate; and thou shalt know that I am Jehovah.)
Little mushroom clouds appeared in the background and stuck in the sky as if it was some computer program that pinned the location of the blasts in the distance. As I moved around the symbols would stay in their places. There were many, many of these nukes going off.
I continued to walk up this hill to an abandoned house with no windows or doors. It was made of concrete and looked like the place the Lord was sending me to hide. (Representing the refuge that God has prepared for His people to be hidden in the Rock. Their freedom to come and go is unhindered by doors.)
The house had a bunch of silver everywhere. (The Lord will supply for the financial and physical needs of His people in the times ahead. Some say ultimately silver will be more valuable than gold.) I thought I could barter using them, so I started to break them apart and put them in a backpack. It struck me odd that whoever was there previously didn’t see the value in the silver. (Because escaping is overwhelmingly more important. And silver will only later skyrocket.)
Then I looked out of the little concrete building and there was a massive food processing plant nearby. I remember almost laughing because the Lord had put me right next to a food processing plant. I thought, “Oh wow! That’s that! Thank you God!” (Food and money will be plentiful among the Bride as the Lord spoke. Isa 61:5-8 And strangers shall stand and feed your flocks, and foreigners shall be your plowmen and your vine-dressers. 6 But ye shall be named the priests of Jehovah; men shall call you the ministers of our God: ye shall eat the wealth of the nations, and in their glory shall ye boast yourselves.
7 Instead of your shame ye shall have double; and instead of dishonor they shall rejoice in their portion: therefore in their land they shall possess double; everlasting joy shall be unto them. 8 For I, Jehovah, love justice, I hate robbery [the factions in Church and state have stolen from their brethren] with iniquity; and I will give them their recompense in truth (God will re-pay), and I will make an everlasting covenant with them.)
Back when this dream was given: I asked, “Will this devastation come after the redistribution of wealth planned in the GCR ?” And received a “Yes.” Eve asked for a confirming word for this and received, Psa.81:5 (in context 5-7) He appointed it in Joseph for a testimony, When he went out over the land of Egypt, Where I heard a language that I knew not. 6 I removed his shoulder from the burden: His hands were freed from the basket. 7 Thou calledst in trouble, and I delivered thee; I answered thee in the secret place of thunder; I proved thee at the waters of Meribah. Selah
As the dream changed I was still in the house but was talking to a woman dressed in camouflage. (The Bride is hidden in the “secret place of the Most High.”) She was explaining to me where we were in the mountains. She told me the state, the mountain range, and the roadway. I can’t remember what it was but I knew it was somewhat iconic, well known and popular for mountain travel. There was a Native American word she told me and I remember thinking, “I need to look that up and find the meaning.” but I cannot remember the name. I knew more people were coming; some of them good and some of them bad. (Many will come and be saved in the revival.) Then I woke up.
Eve asked for a word by faith at random for Bill’s dream and received: Eze.21:28-32 And thou, son of man, prophesy, and say, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah concerning the children of Ammon (A faction who turned against the people of God like the DS has.), and concerning their reproach; and say thou, A sword, a sword is drawn, for the slaughter it is furbished, to cause it to devour, that it may be as lightning; (I asked is this representing a swift taking down of those who factioned against their own countryman? And got “Yes.” This could be so-called Americans against Americans the Alliance against the DS as is happening now.)
29 while they see for thee false visions, while they divine lies unto thee, to lay thee upon the necks of the wicked that are deadly wounded, whose day is come in the time of the iniquity of the end. 30 Cause it to return into its sheath. In the place where thou wast created, in the land of thy birth, will I judge thee. 31 And I will pour out mine indignation upon thee; I will blow upon thee with the fire of my wrath; and I will deliver thee into the hand of brutish men, skillful to destroy. 32 Thou shalt be for fuel to the fire; thy blood shall be in the midst of the land; thou shalt be no more remembered: for I, Jehovah, have spoken it.
(I believe the fake nuclear war will turn into a real nuclear war by the DS hands. The world knows that President Trump’s base are Christians and they do not differentiate Christians from New Agers, who have lied to them about “peace and safety” because they do not believe in the book of Revelation. This will set the stage for the “sudden destruction”. And in the second 3 1/2 years of the Tribulation, the world Beast will make war against the Christians in Rev 13.)
From The Edge Hyssop Chronicles
Larry W. Taylor - Sept. 21, 2002
I saw an Eagle standing proud and tall and the Eagle was turning to fight some enemy that was before it. (The DS) The proud Eagle, all dressed for battle, turned and faced the enemy before it and just as the Eagle started forward toward the enemy; I saw a knife being thrust into the back of the proud and surprised Eagle. (The DS Judas’ start a limited nuclear war with Russia?) As the Eagle staggered from the knife wound to its back, I saw (nuclear) arrows come from the enemy it had been facing and hit the Eagle. (The DS caused the retaliation against the U.S.) The vision faded at this point , so I did not see the result of the attack on the Eagle.
MISSILES OF OCTOBER!
Sept. 7, 2002
Thought I would relate a dream to you I had in the early 1980s. I had been in prayer for about a week and on the last day of my prayer fast, I became very sleepy. So sleepy, that I couldn't keep my head up. I struggled against sleep as I was trying to hear the Lord. I lay back on the bed for a minute, but as soon as my head hit the bed I was asleep. I immediately had a dream.
In the dream I saw a long line of missile silos. I had the knowledge in the dream that these were missiles no one ever thought would be fired! I could not tell who the missiles belonged to. As the dream progressed, I saw the missiles begin to fire and lift out of their silos. I noted that not all the missiles were fired, but only a certain number were fired. I saw the missiles fired, go up into the sky and reach a peak; then start to arch and fall back towards the earth, towards its target. I did not see who or what the target was but as the missiles began to fall towards their targets, I heard in my dream what sounded like a loud audible voice, "THESE ARE THE MISSILES OF OCTOBER!"
This voice woke me up fully awake and I sat up with a start! I still remember in vivid detail the dream of the Missiles and the voice that declared they were of October. (No year was given) (If the DS was going to fire at the Russians to make a war, wouldn’t they do it before the election to stop it? Since they are too far behind to get away with cheating this time?)
1 THESSALONIANS 5:3 For when they shall say peace and safety, then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.
2 CHRONICLES 20:20 Believe in the LORD, your God, so shall ye be established; believe his prophets so shall ye prosper.
AMOS 3:7 Surely the Lord God will do nothing, but He revealeth His secret unto his servants, the prophets.
(Note: I shared this with President Trump and General Smith.)

Vision of the Enemy's Battle Plan
by Hollie Moody
As I was praying on April 25, 2000, I began to see in my mind a picture of the Lord. He was sitting on a rock and groups of people of all ages were gathered around Him. They all seemed to be laughing and talking together. I felt joy and peace and happiness as I viewed this scene. At times, the Lord would reach down and bring a child onto His lap. Or, He would reach out and a baby would be placed into His arms. He would then gaze down into the face of the baby and speak softly and tenderly to the baby. At other times, someone would draw close to His side, and He would place His arm around them, and draw them closer to Him.
An angel approached the Lord. The crowd before the Lord parted to allow the angel to draw near to the Lord. A silence fell over the laughing, joyous crowd as the angel stopped before the Lord and began to speak. From the way this angel was dressed, I sensed immediately that this was a warring angel. Being a warring angel and well aware of the coming battle plan of the enemy, he spoke with a strong sense of urgency and even perplexity in his voice. He was very concerned.
“There is work to be done”, the angel said to the Lord. “Why do the people only sit here idly? These are dangerous times. The people should be doing battle in prayer and in the spirit. Instead, they sit here at Your feet, laughing. They are completely unaware of what is even now transpiring in the courts of hell”. With great concern in his voice, the angel asked, “Why are You allowing this?”
[Before continuing the vision, as a side bar to that conversation, I had the impression the angel and the Lord had been in each other's presence numerous times and had many conversations with one another. What the angel said did not sound disrespectful or challenging at all. I could feel how he was feeling, and it was a genuine question in the midst of such perplexing opposition to come.]
The Lord gazed with love at the angel before Him. “Before I answer your questions”, the Lord replied, “take this child of Mine and show them what is being planned by the enemy”.
Both the angel and the Lord then turned their heads and stared at me. “This will be too much for her”, the angel protested. “Take her and show her”, the Lord repeated. (The angel bowed his head to the Lord, then turned towards me.)
I began to back nervously away as the angel approached me. “Where are you taking me?” I asked the angel. “To the enemy's camp”, the angel replied. “Go with him”, the Lord instructed me.
I felt very nervous and afraid, but allowed the angel to touch me. As soon as the angel touched me, we were in darkness. I felt fear engulf me. “Fear not”, the angel said to me, and instantly, the fear vanished.
The darkness seemed to dissipate, and I discovered that the angel and I were in what appeared to be a great court. A man was sitting on a large throne, and before him were gathered all types of creatures and men. (This “court” had the appearance of a cave. When I first viewed this scene, I felt stunned. I'm not sure why. It was like something “rebelled” in me at what I was seeing.)
“Who is that man on the throne?” I asked the angel. “And who are the creatures and men gathered before him?” “That is the accuser of the brethren and his armies”, the angel replied.
I then realized that I was in the presence of satan. (When the angel informed me that this man was satan, the fact that he was sitting on a throne amazed me. Later, when I prayed about this aspect of the vision, I felt that the Lord said that satan was trying to copy everything that was God's in heaven, for himself.)
Satan was speaking, and I heard him say, “This will be our strategy”. He then got up from his throne and went to stand in front of a large map on the wall behind him. As I stared at the map, I became aware that it was a map of the entire world. (It is very hard to describe this “map”. The map wasn't actually “pinned” or “hanging” on the wall, but it was in front of the wall. But, it was like I could see it from all angles. And also, I could see like “air waves”, “wind currents”, the tides of the seas, etc. I could also see the hemisphere around the world -- moons, stars, planets, etc. I really have no words or way to correctly put down the appearance of this “map”.)
Satan began to divide the world into sections. Then, he called out some names. I saw the creatures and the men gathered before satan part, and very large and strong-looking angelic beings approached satan. (I saw four of these mighty-looking angelic beings.) I could sense the power of these beings, and sensed the evil and wickedness of that power. A hush had fallen over the crowd.
“Who are these beings?” I whispered to the angel whom I was with. The angel I was with seemed concerned. “They are satan's princes”. Satan began speaking again, and he was assigning sections of the world to each of these “princes”.
“You will need your armies”, satan said to them. “Choose whomever you will. All is at your disposal”. The large beings then began to pick and choose who would be in their particular army. (This was by no means “orderly”. There was a great deal of arguing, bickering, etc.) When they were finished, they all turned back to satan and stared at him. “Each prince will teach you our strategy to deceive and to destroy and to slay mankind”, satan said. “Go with them”.
The princes and their armies began to exit from the presence of satan. The angel and I began to follow one of the groups. They went into what appeared to be a school room. The prince went to the front of the room and began to instruct his army on how to deceive, destroy and slay the people in their particular section of the world who had been allocated to them. The angel and I then went to each “classroom”. The same plans and strategies were being “taught” in each “classroom”. (By the “same” plans, I don't mean each class was teaching the exact same thing. What I mean is that each class was very thorough in what it was teaching, and on how to apply what was being taught.)
In some of the classrooms, they were studying political leaders. Their families, homes, lifestyles, etc., were being closely scrutinized. I felt very frightened and helpless, very overwhelmed, as I saw and heard how very thorough these “lessons”, for lack of a better word, were. Nothing was left to chance. Every area of these political leaders' lives was being dissected and investigated and studied.
Demons were being assigned on how to “attack” and influence and “control” each of these political leaders, their families, and even their friends and co-workers. Nothing was left to chance. Nothing was overlooked. The books they read, the radio stations they listened to, etc., everything, everything was being discussed. The enormity of all of this was absolutely mind-boggling to me. This also occurred with the religious leaders.
It was the “religion” classes that frightened and shocked me the most. In these classes, religions of the nations were being studied and discussed. Even New Age and occult, wicca, tarot, etc., were being discussed. Buddhism, Hinduism, etc., were being discussed. The bibles and books and other writings for all of these religions were being read and studied. Each denomination of Christianity was being studied. The Bible being studied was the major source of information for these “lessons”. This was truly horrifying and shocking to me that demons were reading and studying the Bible. And, it was all for the intent to twist what was written, and to seek ways to misinterpret, misrepresent, etc., it to Christians. The demons were discussing ways to “dilute” the Gospel. They were discussing ways to “incorporate” major beliefs from all the religions into one big acceptable “gospel for humankind”.
Some of the demons in these religion classes were ordered to “infiltrate” churches, were being taken into actual churches, and were watching how the people prayed, worshipped, sang, etc. They were studying how messages were being delivered to the congregations in numerous churches. They were studying the individuals who were used in the operation of the gifts of the Spirit. These individuals were followed around constantly by assigned demons, who watched and listened to everything these people said and did. The friends and family members of these individuals were also studied. The demons discussed ways to drive wedges, etc., between those people who were truly being used of God, and the people they went to church with, and even how to cause these people's own pastors and spiritual leaders to lose faith and confidence in these people who were used in the gifts of the Spirit. I felt so angry and frustrated and helpless as I saw and heard how this was to be accomplished, and how it had already been initiated in many, many congregations, and how it was largely succeeding.
Many of these “religious” demons, for lack of a better word, were being taught how to sing in churches, how to dance in the Spirit, how to pray and teach. I felt at times as if I were going to vomit as I witnessed many demons in these classrooms “practicing” how to worship the Lord, and how to be a Christian. Seeing a demon “dancing before the Lord” is so awful, and so sickening, that there are just no words to describe it adequately.
Some of these more “major” demons could also work “signs and wonders, and even miracles”. Some of these demons were also being taught how to be “Christ”. This was being done by actually studying the scriptures. Seeing some of these demons acting and speaking like Christ shocked me speechless. Seeing them reading the Bible was like an abomination to me.
In some of these classes, even UFOs and aliens were being discussed, and how to deceive people through these phenomenon. There were classrooms where food and dress and slang words - yes, slang words(!) were being studied. Crops were being studied and discussed. All of this was just so vast it overwhelmed me.
Suddenly, the “classes” began to leave the rooms. The angel and I followed them. They congregated back in front of satan. “Report”, satan said. “How will we deceive, destroy and slay mankind?”
One of the princes came forward and began to outline their plans and strategies to satan. “The people want signs and wonders and miracles from their religious leaders”, the prince said. “We know that our enemy will be, and has begun already, to grant this unto his children. We will slip in with a counterfeit move, and deceive many. We have taught our armies how to mimic worship, praise and looking and acting like a true believer. We will give unto our armies the ability to work signs, wonders and even miracles. But while all become focused upon these outward manifestations, others of us will begin behind the scenes to dilute the message of the gospel. We will accomplish this partly through speaking to the people about God's 'true' nature. We will allow the people to create God into what and whom they want Him to be”.
“Good”, satan said. “Very good”.
The prince began to speak once again. “When the people have created their own version of God, then, we will give them OUR god”. The crowd before satan began to cheer wildly.
“We must depart!” the angel urged me. Suddenly, we were back before the Lord. He was still in the midst of His children; laughing with them, talking to them, touching them. A silence fell over the group once again as the angel I was with once more approached the Lord. The angel reported to the Lord all we had heard and seen in hell.
The angel was very concerned and distressed, asking, “Why are You just sitting here with the people? Why haven't they been sent to begin battle? How will they be able to discern this coming great deception if they aren't even aware that one is coming?”
The Lord became grave. His face as He looked at His children was alight with His great love for them. I noticed tears in His eyes. Then, He turned His head and looked at the angel, speaking with Him.
“My children will know the false, by knowing the true”, the Lord said. “The longer they spend in My Presence, the more they will know My voice when they hear it. A voice of a stranger, they will not follow”. “But the enemy has those who have been taught to speak just as You do”, the angel protested. “They sound almost just like You”.
“Almost”, the Lord replied gently. “Almost they sound like Me. Only My sheep who have lingered long in My Presence will know the voice of their true Shepherd. And this is why I spend so much time with My children. I spend as much time with them as they allow Me to. I know very well what the enemy is planning. My plans are plans of love and fellowship”. The angel and the Lord both fell silent as they gazed at the crowd before the Lord. “Love them well!” the angel replied.
“Yes, a battle is coming”, the Lord sighed, and I saw tears in His eyes. “Great wickedness and persecution upon My children; My true children who know My voice. A time of wickedness and persecution such as has never been seen or experienced. Yet in the midst of it all, I will move, I will bless, I will speak, I will love. I will win. There are those of My children who sense much of this. They are the ones who will never stop praying and interceding; not even in times of seeming peace”. “What about me, Lord?” I asked.
The angel and the Lord looked at me. “Pray”, the Lord replied. “Tell the prayer warriors to strengthen themselves and their brothers and sisters in the times of peace. I will be pouring out of My Spirit upon all nations and peoples. It will spread to even the most unlikely of places -- television, magazines, newspapers, radios, even the Internet. And it will be here that the battle will truly begin, and the deception begin”.
The Lord stood up. “It is time?” the angel asked Him. “It is time”, the Lord replied. Then, I was no longer with the Lord or the angel, but praying once again.
John 10 is in my mind; especially verse 14: “I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine”.
Discernment Delivers from False Prophets
Jay Nara - Romania - 06/09/2008 (David's notes in red)
I dreamed I was in a class with several other pupils. We were in this big room which looked rather like a gymnasium and I remember thinking and missing my friends from other classes whom I remembered were long gone away. David Eells was our teacher and I was standing next to him. (A type of David, the Man-child.) David was telling me that the previous night there was a party at his next door neighbor's house and he didn't get much sleep. (God's people giving into lasciviousness have truly caused me some loss of sleep.) He was casually dressed, like a sports teacher or a trainer. (We have to train the people of God to get in shape for the contest to come.) Since I was seeing his profile I noticed he was wearing a patch or a piece of wool over his nose, like he had a nose job, or even more, it looked to me like something he was wearing to filter the air he was breathing. (This nose filter represents the ability to discern good from evil. The nose gives discernment to the mind that is neither seen nor heard. Wool over the nose represents having the true clothing or actions of sheep, which filter out the false spirits, which is the meaning of “breath” in the Hebrew.)
The next thing I remember was a tall man entering the room, accompanied with a woman. (The tall man is seen in many dreams as the corporate false prophet and his companion the harlot church.) They were dressed in suits and looked to me like teachers. The man came and was standing next to me and I knew they were there to acquire some pupils for themselves. (They will seek through lasciviousness, meaning a license to excess, to draw aside disciples of Christ.) I tried to ignore him since I could tell what his intentions were, and then he pointed his finger at me. I looked around for David but couldn't see him. (We will face temptation alone.) I turned to the man and looked at his face for the first time. He was so tall, almost all the way up to the ceiling; I remember feeling the pain in my neck as I was struggling to look at his face. (His great size represents a corporate body of people.) He was nicely groomed, curly haired and had bright grey watery eyes. (They tend to see things in grey, not black or white, as in wrong or right.)
Being determined, I told him that I was not going with him because David was my teacher. As I was saying these words I was getting weak. I remember being hardly able to say that last word “teacher”, but I succeeded. He looked shocked and very offended because obviously he had the authority to choose from the class as he liked, and he looked at the woman (harlot?) with disbelief. He looked back to me, trying to put some smile on his angry face, and then I woke up.
(The Sanskrit meaning for “Jay” is “victory”. Although tempted, Jay, in this dream, obviously represents those who gain the victory over the false prophet and harlot because of their training in discernment. We are told that the Word exercises our senses to discern good from evil: Heb.5:12 For when by reason of the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need again that someone teach you the rudiments of the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of solid food. 13 For every one that partaketh of milk is without experience of the word of righteousness; for he is a babe. 14 But solid food is for fullgrown men, [even] those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern good and evil.)
Persecution from the False Prophet
Kaile H. - 01/19/2011 (David's notes in red)
This is one of the most powerful and vivid dreams that I have had to date. At the beginning of it, I realized that I was a spectator to what was happening in it. I saw a man who was dressed very nicely; he was wearing a gray silk suit and a red silk tie with his hair slicked back and carried himself with self-confidence, almost to the point of being narcissistic. This man was walking around a mall and talking to people of all ages. As he talked to some people, he invited them to a meeting at his house. I noticed as he spoke to the various people that he was very charming and was able to persuade about 20 people to follow him to his home. (The slick man represents the False Prophet who with “feigned words makes merchandise” of the Word and the people. His red tie makes him appear to be wrapped in the blood of Jesus. The mall represents the buying and selling of Babylonish religion. He is narcissistic because he is egotistical and selfish of gain of reputation and material things.)
I followed them out to the parking lot where they carpooled behind this man in his luxury car. I saw them drive over many hills and valleys to a bridge that went out to an island to a huge mansion where this man lived. As they passed over the bridge, I realized that the mansion and the rest of the island were one of the most beautiful places I had ever seen. (He makes merchandise of the people, plundering them for his own selfish gain. His doctrine is conveniently prosperity oriented.)
After the group went into the mansion, he motioned them into a large dining area where the table was filled with different kinds of hors d'oeuvres. The man told them to make themselves at home and then left the room. The people in the room were carrying on conversations and eating when all of a sudden they heard screaming and very strange sounds coming from outside the dining room. As the screaming started, I became aware of a particular woman in the room. (The false prophets have been known throughout history to take advantage of the ladies because their flesh rules them. But also, in a spiritual way, this could represent the woman church horrified at the true nature of this wolf in sheep's clothing.)
Then, the doors to the dining room swung open and there we saw the well-to-do man standing in the doorway with an AK-47 in his hand. The man did not have his hair slicked back anymore; it was messed up and he had a very demonic look on his face. After observing the obvious change in his demeanor, I saw the doors on the other side of the dining room open and the man told the group, “START RUNNING!” (These egomaniacs have a hidden purpose: to kill the saints of God as the false prophet Sanhedrin of Jesus' day did. The saints will be running from them, spiritually and literally, very soon. They have the backing of the beast government to deceive and persecute the saints, as in Jesus' day.)
I then realized that for a brief amount of time I had the point of view of the woman as she ran through the hallway. There were people getting shot behind where the woman and a man were running. There was a room that the two found and they ran into it. The man saw that there was an EXIT sign and a door that went outside. I noticed that the EXIT sign looked strange and I didn't have a good feeling about it. The man told the woman that they needed to go through the door but she told him that they shouldn't go out there. Instead, there was a little bit of a bench behind a dark gray curtain and they sat on the bench. (Every avenue of escape is not a true escape from the False Prophet and Beast. Some are a trap designed by them, like the mark of the Beast. “Resting” and being “hidden in Christ”, “seated with Him in heavenly places” behind the veil is the true escape.)
A few minutes after the man and woman sat behind the curtain, there was a group of three boys who ran through (representing the immature church). They first slammed their backs up against the man and woman but somehow didn't realize that there were people behind the curtain. (I was reminded of this verse: Psa.91:1 He that dwelleth in the secret place of the Most High Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.) Once they all took a deep breath, they ran through the EXIT straight outside. The boys ran over to the edge of the courtyard to find that there was nowhere to go because the bridge that they had traveled on had disappeared. As soon as they got to the edge of the courtyard, the ground started shifting and it revealed a muddy (dark brown or black), quicksand-like layer underneath where there were some decomposing bodies.
There was one boy who was closer to the edge than the others and he fell straight down to his death as the ground shifted. (There are many ways that seem right to men but in the end it is the way of death. (Pro.14:12, 16:25) One-third of the immature church at this time falls away because of walking on shifting sands of false doctrines instead of the Word. This does not include the tares that were really never in the church of the called-out ones.) (When the sandy ground began to shift, the Lord reminded me of the house built on the rock versus the sand.
Mat.7:24 Every one therefore that heareth these words of mine, and doeth them, shall be likened unto a wise man, who built his house upon the rock: 25 and the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and if fell not: for it was founded upon the rock. 26 And every one that heareth these words of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, who built his house upon the sand: 27 and the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and smote upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall thereof.)
The two other boys knew that they needed to find a way out, so they started running back toward the mansion to go a different direction. (Two-thirds repent, i.e., change direction.) As they started running toward the house, I saw that the look and feel to this island had changed. It was no longer lush and vibrant with color but it had become very dark and the mansion looked old and run-down. (Once God's people pass through this Babylonish house and change direction, they see it as it really is -- a corrupt and dying tomb full of dead men's bones.)
When the boys had almost made it to where the house was, the door that the boys came out of swung open and the crazed man came outside. I noticed that he seemed to change even more since the last time I saw him in the dining room. His silk suit was no longer silk. It looked like it was made of wool and it was a lot larger than him, especially in his shoulders (as soon as I saw him I thought of a wolf with a thick overcoat). The tie was also a different shade of red -- dark maroon. (Once God's people pass through this Babylonish house, they perceive the wolf in sheep's clothing as really very small in comparison to the image he at first portrayed to the public. His maroon tie represents blood that has lost its oxygen or breath of the Spirit. The blood that is spent and returning to the heart rather than the red blood that comes from the heart.)
At that point, I saw the point of view of one of the boys. I saw the boy in front get shot down immediately after the crazed man came outside. The other boy then tripped and the man quickly came and put the barrel of the gun against the base of his skull. It was kind of strange because I could almost feel the metal on the back of his skull, like it was mine, and then I heard a gunshot and then everything went black.
(The factious people have demonstrated this well to us. They are very slick when trying to impart to people their slander and witchcraft. They are full of fleshly lusts that drive them. Initially some escape them but their suspicious thoughts remain to tempt and tempt and when they give in they return to the one who infected them they spiritually die and never return to God. I use this as an example but the devil has many traps.)
Then, I saw the man start going around the outside of his mansion and throughout the hallways, cleaning up the blood and disposing of the dead bodies. After he got done tidying up, he slicked his hair back and changed his clothes back into the silk suit to get ready to bring another group of people to his house. As I watched him present himself as the charming well-to-do man again, I was reminded of the wolves in sheep's clothing that Jesus talked about in Mat.7:15 Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly are ravening wolves. (I also began to think about the adjective that first came to mind when I saw him -- “charming” -- which automatically makes me think about witchcraft and manipulation. (things that are not of God.)
I then went back to the man and woman who were still quietly hiding behind the curtain (resting in the secret place of the Most High). They heard the bridge coming back up and at that point they made a run for it. The crazed man realized that there were still two people on the property and ran outside to try and kill them but it was too late. The man and woman had already made it across the bridge and were out of sight. (They who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord will escape.) (As I began to type this dream out, I thought that it was significant that only one man and one woman survived this attack and I thought about the woman and the Man-child. I was reminded of the passage in Revelation where the dragon wanted to devour the Man-child once he was delivered by the woman but, as in the time to come in the dream, the evil one did not prevail.) (The Man-child and those of the woman church who abide in the rest by faith will escape.)
Just after we received the above dream we received this next dream:
Jenn Reams - 01/29/2011
I was with a group of about 100 people. We had been gathered by the government into a public building. We were there under the pretense of being helped, but I knew it was a trap and they were planning to kill us. But I knew no one would believe me. As I prayed for the boldness to warn them anyway, I began to warn them individually, starting with my husband and daughter. For some reason I can't remember their response. But I know it ended with me telling everyone at once that it was a trap and they were planning to kill us; we were on the red list.
I know this is possibly because of the warnings and Bible studies I've been listening to and not necessarily a prophetic dream. However, it was a warning. And one question that come to my mind is, people know about the red list in reality, so why would I need to tell them? (Maybe because individuals don't know if they are on the red list.)
Mega-Churches & Strong Delusion
Churches Deceived into Program
Deborah Horton - 07/09/2005 (David's notes in red)
In a dream, I saw mega-church after mega-church flashing by. The congregations were well-dressed and complacent. Then I saw not quite as many smaller churches flashing by. They had all been tricked into joining a “program” that was supposed to help them grow. In the dream, I knew it was every single mega-church but not as many of the smaller ones that were involved. None of the home groups would participate. (See Baiting the False Prophet & War in our One-Hour series.)
This “program” progressively took greater and greater control of each church. At first, the people were very happy with their decision; however, when there was no longer any way for them to escape, they began to see the “program” for what it really was. By the time each group had been reduced to a handful of people, the controlling force stopped pretending to be helping them and revealed itself as an ugly, blood-thirsty monster. Amazing to me was that as the people were being systematically taken over, they looked more and more like the monster themselves. It was awful and I was horrified by how easily the people were tricked and how quickly they were degraded and killed.
(In Eze.17:21 The Lord said He would ‘scatter toward every wind’ those who rebelled against Babylon. Rebelling here means to physically fight with them to not accept their cross. Eze 17:21 And all his fugitives in all his bands shall fall by the sword, and they that remain shall be scattered toward every wind: and ye shall know that I, Jehovah, have spoken it. Those who don't take the mark of the beast will flee it but many of these will make war on the beast and lose. Others will have their eyes opened and will join to the Man-child and Two Witness ministries.)
As I woke up, I realized that “program” was a play on the word, “pogrom”, which is defined as “An organized and often officially encouraged massacre or attack on a national, religious or ethnic minority. (Not necessarily a physical attack; sometimes it is a spiritual attack that brings spiritual death.) An organized massacre of the Jews In Czarist Russia. The Russian word for ‘devastation’”.
Deception Coming to the O.W.O. Church
Marion Carney - 02/29/2008 (David's notes in red)
I dreamt I was at my grandmother's old apartment complex with a few others. I came up the elevator and walked down the hallway to her apartment door. I could see that the door was already slightly opened so I walked in. There wasn't anyone inside at first and I walked over to the patio windows. (The apartment complex represents joining house to house; the great unified corporate house of the harlot church in the U.S. Isa.5:8 Woe unto them that join house to house, that lay field to field, till there be no room, and ye be made to dwell alone in the midst of the land! 9 In mine ears [saith] Jehovah of hosts, Of a truth many houses shall be desolate, even great and fair, without inhabitant. That no one was home – ‘without inhabitant’ -- speaks to the coming desolation of this corporate house.)
I noticed it was getting very windy outside it was gray and raining just a bit. There was an old woman in the parking lot below me and she was caught in the wind; the wind was so strong that it pushed her over. As I watched the wind became stronger and stronger. She was really struggling to walk; the wind became so strong that it cracked the glass that I was looking out of. Just as it cracked the woman was picked up in the air by the wind and was being swept away. An old man then appeared and was trying to help the old woman but the wind was too strong for them both and they were lifted up in the air several feet off the ground. When they were lifted up the wind blew them around the side of the building, out of my view. I then backed away from the window because the other side of the glass was cracking.
(The old woman represents the same thing as the apartment complex, the old apostate church, which is being blown by ever-increasing winds of false doctrines by their deceiving leaders, represented by the ‘old man’. Eph.4:14 that we may be no longer children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, in craftiness, after the wiles of error... This house will be destroyed by the winds of the Beast and False Prophet doctrines. Mat.7:26 And every one that heareth these words of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, who built his house upon the sand: 27 and the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and smote upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall thereof.)
I turned around with the intent to go help the older people and when I did there were two men at a small table that resembled a small fold-out card table; it was placed directly in the middle of the room. On the table was a porcelain teapot and a teacup. The inside of this cup had writing inscribed all around it, kind of like a measuring cup would be. The man who had the teapot in his hand poured some to tea for the man who was sitting down. He filled the small cup up to one of the inscriptions and nodded for the man to drink it. The man drinking the tea didn't know that he was actually being deceived as the words that were inscribed in the cup were actually words of a ritual and every time the man filled the cup up to a different level the man was partaking in a ritual. (Rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft. Like the frog in the teapot, the heat was raised so gradually the frog didn’t notice he was being cooked.)
I tried telling the man sitting down to not drink the tea, that he was being deceived; however, they could not hear me. The man served him two more times and the last cup was measured one line from being completely filled to the top. As the man drank from the cup the other man who was serving him smiled, and then I awoke. (Marion's ‘intent to go help the older people’ was interrupted by a revelation that deception is sent to them instead. Those leaders who do not listen to God's warnings will have even greater deception measured back to them from the beast than what they meted out to the apostate Church. Mar.4:23 If any man hath ears to hear, let him hear. 24 And he said unto them, Take heed what ye hear: with what measure ye mete it shall be measured unto you; and more shall be given unto you. 25 For he that hath, to him shall be given: and he that hath not, from him shall be taken away even that which he hath.
Those who walk in the steps of the Sanhedrin to crucify the body of Christ will have the Beast to measure it back to them. Mat.23:30 and say, If we had been in the days of our fathers, we should not have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets. 31 Wherefore ye witness to yourselves, that ye are sons of them that slew the prophets. 32 Fill ye up then the measure of your fathers. 33 Ye serpents, ye offspring of vipers, how shall ye escape the judgment of hell? 34 Therefore, behold, I send unto you prophets, and wise men, and scribes: some of them shall ye kill and crucify; and some of them shall ye scourge in your synagogues, and persecute from city to city: 35 that upon you may come all the righteous blood shed on the earth... Pray for the Pauls, the Nicodemuses, the Joseph of Arimathea’s to come forth out of them.)
(These false prophets and those who follow them are being bribed by their lusts into strong delusion that will cost many their eternal life. 2 Th.2:8 And then shall be revealed the lawless one, whom the Lord Jesus shall slay with the breath of his mouth, and bring to nought by the manifestation of his coming; 9 [even he], whose coming is according to the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, 10 and with all deceit of unrighteousness for them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. 11 And for this cause God sendeth them a working of error, that they should believe a lie: 12 that they all might be judged who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.)
Dream - 03/02/2008
I dreamt a very short dream where I was with a handful of others who were preparing for two major earthquakes. I knew that we would survive the first earthquake; however, I knew that the second earthquake was going to be more destructive. I was looking down at the ground, trying to determine where the earthquake would take place and I was really calculating where it was to take place. I showed the others and told them to prepare for the second earthquake and that it was going to be a bad one.
(We are expecting earthquakes when the Man-child reformers are spiritually resurrected and anointed. Jesus died with an earthquake and was resurrected at a “great earthquake”.
(An earthquake is a rending or separating of the earth, representing division between peoples of the earth. Such a division is happening between the Alliance and the DS. Because of this the second, more destructive division will be a civil war in the nation of America. Some clues here:
The Department of Health and Human Services has spent $290 million on radiation sickness drugs, hinting at fears of a nuclear conflict. The World Health Organization is updating lists for nuclear emergencies, signaling that something catastrophic may be on the horizon. Remember Operation Gotham Shield? The 2017 simulation of a nuclear attack on New York? It’s no longer a simulation—real-world events are aligning.
The Deep State, CIA, and FBI are allegedly plotting the cyber-attack of the century. Their goal? To erase investigations into Epstein, Hunter, the 2020 election, and vaccine cover-ups. Their scapegoat? The patriots.

There was a pretty big house over to the left of me that was on little poles. It looked like one of those homes that are on a lake or beach. However, under this home there was a lot of dirt. (It will be known that this DS house is founded on a lot of dirt, meaning corruption.) I was standing outside the house determining where a safe area would be for us. The others were preparing for the earthquake inside the house. I explained to them that for an earthquake you come out of the house and explained how the house could fall on them. However, they were looking for items to take cover in like a tub or the basement, as if they were preparing for a tornado rather than an earthquake. I was desperately trying to get them out of the house but they would not listen.
The dream ended with me speaking with a man who was sitting on some bricks in the area where I was pinpointing the first earthquake would be. (This ‘pretty big house’ on poles that is not founded on the rock of the Word and could fall on the people in this division is the corrupt in Church and government.
Mat.7:26 And every one that heareth these words of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, who built his house upon the sand: 27 and the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and smote upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall thereof. The way to escape this house falling on you is to GET OUT OF THE HOUSE. The man sitting on the pile of bricks represents the total fall of this house.
Rev.18:2 And he cried with a mighty voice, saying, Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great, and is become a habitation of demons, and a hold of every unclean spirit, and a hold of every unclean and hateful bird. ... 4 And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come forth, my people, out of her, that ye have no fellowship with her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.
(Here are some of Marion's dreams which point out the reasons for this destruction.)
Dream 2/08
There was a singular corporate apartment complex standing alone. It was a very expensive, very large building like one you would see in Las Vegas. It was glistening as if it were made of a shiny tin material. (Again we see the apostate church are in agreement, house to house, in a great gamble which will not pay off for them. The DS has unified against the right wing wishing to wipe them out.)
The building was within a few feet of a lake like one of the Great Lakes such as Lake Erie. (Abraham's seed in America is as the sands on the seashore for multitude. Gen.22:17 ...I will multiply thy seed ...as the sand which is upon the seashore. The apartment building is the harlot of Babylon church and government. Rev.17:1 ...I will show thee the judgment of the great harlot that sitteth upon many waters. The many waters represent the peoples of the world. 15 ...The waters which thou sawest, where the harlot sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues.
My eldest son, Scott was standing outside of the building, telling me how it was a great location by the water with a great view of the lake. I took notice of this but I was more concerned with wanting to go in and look around. Scott was needing to make a decision about the building and I kept telling him to look around, that there were other homes with a view of a lake. (Many will have to decide whether to be a part of this Harlot church and government.) I don't know how I got inside the building because it was quite a ways away from us at first; however, there I was standing in the hallway. I then began walking through the hallway, looking for people. I was opening and closing doors because I was looking for someone. At one point I was looking for a young girl but I don't know who she was. (Marion failed to find her fruit, her spiritual man, the child born to her, in the harlot church and government as so many will.)
Somehow the dream switched from me being on the inside to being on the outside of the building. At this point I could see the waves of the lake were getting more and more intense. I don't remember going to any high ground but I was now viewing the apartment complex as if I were standing on a hill a ways from it. The water was rougher than when I first saw it and was now really scary looking. (When we dealt with the factious slander and witchcraft spirits in Church we then began to see the same spirits in the leftist government. The judgment of God will continue to rise against these factions.) The waves started to form faster and faster and as I looked on one of the waves started to form so high in the sky that I had a sick feeling come over me. I watched in fear as the wave grew and went kind of in slow motion and slammed into the building with a fury. The impact was so scary to me that I actually awoke at this point, shaken by the power of that wave. (As in all past history, the judgment of God will destroy Beast and Harlot.)
Dream - 03/13/2008
I was walking with a small group of people on the street I grew up on but the street was much wider in some areas than it actually is. Across the street from me were some people leaving my old church. They crossed the street and began walking with me and some others. In this small group there was a man who was very tall with blondish-brown hair. He kept trying to speak with me and give me compliments, despite his wife walking with us. I wouldn't acknowledge him because I knew he was married but that didn't defer him as he kept trying to flirt with me. I purposely kept a good distance from him as we all walked across an open area in the street. (Apostate Saul leaders from the old church and government are living after their lusts. 1Sam.9:2 ...Saul, a young man and a goodly: and there was not among the children of Israel a goodlier person than he: from his shoulders and upward he was higher than any of the people. The worldly look on the outward appearance but God looketh on the heart. 2 Pet.2:14 having eyes full of adultery, and that cannot cease from sin; enticing unstedfast souls; having a heart exercised in covetousness; children of cursing. ... 18 For, uttering great swelling [words] of vanity, they entice in the lusts of the flesh, by lasciviousness, those who are just escaping from them that live in error.)
As we continued to walk around, we again passed by my church and some of the others wanted to go inside to see what they were teaching. I stayed outside on the sidewalk with another and when they came back out one woman said to us, “They aren't teaching what they should be in there” (The apostates will not be able to preach Christ and the Word or risk offending each other.) As she shook her head she seemed really annoyed with what she heard inside the church. My old church didn't look like it normally does. There was a section of it where you could walk right through it like it was hollow. (No substance of truth in church or government.) We continued walking as two of the women discussed what they heard in the church and the same woman was still upset. I started to depart from the others when one of the women spoke out to me, saying, “Be sure to read the passages about Martha and languages in the bible”. I responded nonchalantly, “Ok, I will”, and I walked away. At this point I awoke to my alarm clock.
(Martha represents a large portion of Christianity in that she was known for anxiety and busy works while her sister, Mary, sat at the feet of Jesus and learned of Him. Jesus said that this was the important thing to do in Luk 10:40 But Martha was cumbered about much serving; and she came up to him, and said, Lord, dost thou not care that my sister did leave me to serve alone? bid her therefore that she help me. 41 But the Lord answered and said unto her, Martha, Martha, thou art anxious and troubled about many things: 42 but one thing is needful: for Mary hath chosen the good part, which shall not be taken away from her.
The word about languages is a warning that God destroyed man's attempt to make a one-world religion and government at Babel by confusing their languages and He is going to do it again to modern Babel, which means “confusion”. Gen.11:7 Come, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech. 8 So Jehovah scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth: and they left off building the city. 9 Therefore was the name of it called Babel; because Jehovah did there confound the language of all the earth: and from thence did Jehovah scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth.)
False Prophets Promote the Beast
Gideon Smith - 11/24/2009 (David’s notes in red)
I had a very interesting dream; it is very profound to me and I know it's from God. In the dream, my wife and three daughters were sick and in a hospital. (The Church is where healing is supposed to be dispensed.) The doctors and nurses (ministers) were saying they needed more sugar. So then they were led to a floor below us (loss of stature or maturity). I noticed that they were giving them sweets such as donuts, candy and things like that. (Preachers and politicians are great at this.) The strange thing was they were giving it to them through a garbage shoot. (Garbage and bribery is found in both factions.) Sweets taste good to the flesh but will not do any good for the spiritual man. The world’s methods for healing or salvation will not contribute any good to the body of Christ.
Being led downstairs brings Colossians 2:20-3:2 to mind. Col 2:20 If ye died with Christ from the rudiments of the world, why, as though living in the world, do ye subject yourselves to ordinances, 21 Handle not, nor taste, nor touch 22 (all which things are to perish with the using), after the precepts and doctrines of men? 23 Which things have indeed a show of wisdom in will-worship, and humility, and severity to the body; but are not of any value against the indulgence of the flesh. 3:1 If then ye were raised together with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated on the right hand of God. 2 Set your mind on the things that are above, not on the things that are upon the earth.
The garbage shoot show that what they were receiving was weak and beggarly rudiments or principles of the world as it says in Gal 4:9 but now that ye have come to know God, or rather to be known by God, how turn ye back again to the weak and beggarly rudiments, whereunto ye desire to be in bondage over again?
When seeing this, I noticed that my wife and three daughters had come up stairs to see our new son (in reality, my son is already nine months old). (They were brought up out of bondage to heavenly places when they came up to see the man-child of Rev.12.) When they arrived, I met them and we began to look around the maternity ward and I noticed all the babies were inside incubators that were full of sugary, powdery substances that covered the babies. These looked very underdeveloped, dark and unhealthy. (The babies in the incubators were premature; they could not grow into the man-child; they were full of the powdery, sugary substance which will kill them spiritually.)
Then we went to see my son, whose name is Luke, and he was huge. He was sitting up on his own outside of the incubator, perfectly healthy, and when I looked closer I saw that he was completely covered in blood and there were no wounds or harm to him. (The man-child was covered in the blood; he was fully mature and did not need an incubator to breathe. In fact, he could sit up on his own because he was covered in the blood and cleansed from all the things that the other babies were dying in.)
Then the whole hospital and staff turned on the TVs and there was this big announcement being made by Donald Rumsfeld or some other politician, saying that they had created something great and wonderful. (When looking on Wikipedia, I learned that Donald means “ruler of the world”. WOW. (The immature church and false ministers feed the people the doctrine of the beast kingdom.) The great thing I saw was a spirit. Heb 1:7 And of the angels he saith, Who maketh his angels winds [Greek: spirits], And his ministers a flame a fire. This is exactly what I saw, except for in this case it was a body of fallen angels or spirits. (The corporate spirit of the Beast from the pit inhabits the world beast body of both secular and religious people.)
Everyone seemed to be glued to the TV, watching this creation of some sort being introduced. So as they watched, I was taken to the clouds and saw this “great thing” that they were speaking of and it was a gigantic pillar of fire with a fiery flame on top, flying up from the earth and passing the clouds into the atmosphere, but it fell down to the earth. (The fake pillar of fire was to lead the people through the dark wilderness tribulation.)
Then I was taken to the earth where I saw its form from another perspective. I saw this pillar of fire, which seemed to be full of winds that kept its flame burning. It was stretched from the ground all the way to the sky. Then I saw what was on top of it and, to my surprise, it was the same image that is on The Beast Is Everywhere article on the UBM website, except the circle in the middle of the two horns was like the all-seeing eye on the back of the dollar bill. (The world and the worldly Christians will worship the golden calf, the false Jesus of Ra, at the command of the false prophets -- the two horns of Rev.13.)
Then, after seeing this, I was back in the hospital with my brother beside me, who saw the same image as I did but no one else did. I urgently told him three times, “That's Ra”.(The ancient Egyptian sun god; the false Son of God or Antichrist Beast. Warning others of a false image of deity for three years.) Then, as the people were watching the news of this “great thing”, I began to warn them and tell them that this is the seven-headed, 10-horned beast.
The people in the hospital began to listen to me. (Those who were coming out of the institutional church.) I noticed my wife was shaking her head, telling me not to speak about it anymore to them; even though I felt led to keep talking, I stopped. (The worldly mother church will not want the truth to be proclaimed to their people.)
Then I woke up from the dream. When I woke up and told my wife the dream, she apologized for what she did in the dream.
Deceived By a False Jesus
B.A. - 09/09/2011 (David's notes in red)
I dreamed that I was walking down the street and I saw some people going up to people on the street and asking them if they would like to be in the audience of a new game show. I kept watching as these people were drawing a large crowd by telling people they could win a house, car, boat, trips, money, etc. (This represents prosperity, love of the world, personal gain, bribery by the flesh, Christianity.) When they got all the people they needed to fill the audience, they took them all inside the darkly lit building. They gave each person a sheet of paper with a number on it and had them all sit down. I saw an elderly man complaining as they handed him his paper. He told them he did not want to be in the audience, that he was brought into the building by force. They made him take the paper anyway and two men took him to his seat and told him to sit down. (The New World Order and its religion will take authority over all. The more mature Christians do not enjoy playing the worldly games with the apostates.)
Then, the game show host came on stage and called out three numbers to select three contestants. A young man was selected, then a middle-aged man, then the older man who didn't want to be there. (Notice these ranged from the less mature to the more mature) The three contestants were taken into a small room and told to wait there. The first contestant was brought out and given a card with three questions on it. (Notice that those in control supplied the questions. They didn't want to trip up their fake Jesus’.) Across from the contestant were three men. The object of the game was for the contestant to guess the REAL JESUS from among these three.
The contestant had one question he was to ask each Jesus. The contestant asked his question to each of the three Jesus’, then the game show host told him it was time to select the real Jesus. The contestant chose Jesus number one. Jesus number one jumped up and said, “You are right”. Then the game show host told the contestant that he had won a new house. There was a lot of applause and music and celebration. (Everyone has a different Jesus that they chose for the sake of fleshly advantage, usually so they can continue in pet sins. This worldly Jesus always gets the applause of the worldly.) Contestant number one was led off the stage into the “winners' room” (I noticed this room was painted red on the inside) and told he had to wait there until the show was over.
Contestant number two was brought out and again he was given a card with three questions. He asked his three questions to each of the three Jesus’. He chose Jesus number two. Jesus number two jumped up and exclaimed, “You are right!” The game show host then told the contestant that he had won a beautiful, new shiny car. Again, there was much applause, music and celebration. Then, contestant number two was led to the winners' room and told to stay there until the game was over. (In other words, whoever you chose is the true Jesus to you. This worldly contest put on by the forces of darkness represents the test to see who will follow antichrist, which is any other false Christ. “Anti” not only means “against”, it means “in the place of”.)
Then, contestant number three was led onto the stage and given his card. I noticed the contestant look at the questions first and then he looked up at each one of the three Jesus’. He had a look of distaste on his face and I could sense hesitation to even ask these men the three questions. (The mature who respect the Word have come to recognize the real Jesus.) The game show host told him he was holding up the show and needed to ask the questions, so he did. When he finished asking the questions, the game show host asked him to pick the real Jesus. The old man sat there a minute, then he pointed to Jesus number one and said, “You can't be the real Jesus because you are dressed in OFF-WHITE and the real Jesus would not be dressed in off-white. Our Lord's garment is bright and shining”. (The real Jesus believes and acts on true holiness. He does not wink at sin.)
He then pointed to Jesus number two who was dressed in all black. The old man said, “You can't be the real Jesus because the REAL Jesus has no darkness in him”. (And neither does a real disciple who recognizes darkness when he sees it.) He then pointed to Jesus number three who was dressed in off-white and black. He said, “You can't be the real Jesus because your garments are spotted. The real Jesus is spotless and without blemish”. (Biblical discernment will save some from idolatry and destruction. The wise and mature recognize and are hating even the garment spotted by the flesh Jud.23.)
The old man then turned and faced the TV camera and began to tell the people who were watching by television not to be deceived by these false Christs. (“The righteous are as bold as a lion”.) The game show host ran over to the TV camera and tried to unplug it. When he got about a foot away, a bolt of lightning shot across the room and hit him and rolled him off the stage. Two men then came up and tried to take the old man off the stage. Again, lightning shot across the stage and hit those two men and threw them to the back of the room. The old man then focused on the audience; he told them to get out of the building quickly, lest any more of them get caught up in this evil deception. (Get out of the buildings of those who have an “anything goes” Jesus. The mature Christians will get the Word of this deception out, despite attempts by the Harlot and Beast to stop them. God's power will see to it.)
The two men who had been hit by lightning ran over to the winners’ room to get the two winners. They led them to a door that read “ONE WAY” in big black letters with a red arrow pointing down (to hell) and told them they had to go through that door to get their rewards. (There is one way for the righteous and the wicked. Those who deny Jesus for fleshly rewards will get the rewards of the flesh.) The winners opened the door (I noticed the winners opened the door and not those two men) and stepped into a large foyer. (No one can send you to hell for following antichrist but you.) They could hear laughter and music and were excited to claim their prizes. All of a sudden, the laughter and music stopped and the lights were turned off. The room filled with a sulfur-like stench and they had trouble trying to breathe the air. They tried to run back to the door to get out, but the door had disappeared; then, all of a sudden, the floor parted in the middle and they started falling down. Then I awoke from the dream. (Pro.14:12) There is a way which seemeth right unto a man; But the end thereof are the ways of death.
My thoughts: Unless we are filled with God's word and stay true to HIS word, we can be easily deceived and end up like contestants number one and two. We can be easily led away by false men and false doctrine. (Or have in our heart a false Jesus.) I know this for a fact, as it happened to me. I got caught up in the First Assembly of God and the “false revival movement” teaching there; then the Messianic Judaism false doctrine. I was so busy filling my days with idols that I didn't have enough of the Word in me to protect me from my enemies. Only by the grace of God was I led away from these things. This dream made me more determined than ever to study God's word and to pray for understanding, wisdom and knowledge and to pray for discernment.
I can't stress enough how important it is for us to get God's Word deep into our hearts. There's so much deception out there and we MUST prepare ourselves.

The Beast Chastens Apostasy
David Eells 10/16/24
The Ignorance of Apostasy
Kaile H. - 05/22/2007 (David's notes in red)
I was visiting the old church I went to when I lived in Texas. The church building was a lot larger than I remember. On this day, the church was having a large conference of some kind and all the age groups were broken up. I decided that morning I wanted to help with the children's activities and everything that had to do with the children.
After I began helping with the children, I noticed that there was a group in the auditorium that was kind of in their own section, not surrounded by any other group of children. I thought that was a little strange. I asked a few of the other volunteers/friends and they very quietly, in almost a whisper, told me “that those children had HIV and no one really knows about them other than the church staff and those who volunteer with the children; most of the other children don't even know. Those who have found out have left the church”. (The children here represent the people in the church who are spiritually immature. 1Co 14:20 Brethren, be not children in mind: yet in malice be ye babes, but in mind be men (Greek: of full age). In the natural HIV is Human Immunodeficiency Virus, which weakens the body's immune system until it can no longer fight off its enemies. This leads to AIDS, which is Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome, and death shortly thereafter. The interpretation is one who is spiritually immature cannot fight off their enemies of sin and its curse and is ultimately conquered and spiritually dies even though they still occupy a pew. Those who find out that their church is in this state generally leave as the ones who left shows.)
When she told me this I was alarmed that no one truly cared to help these children and had been keeping this very serious matter a secret to most of the congregation. Nonetheless, I continued working with the children. (Most of the spiritually immature do not know that there is spiritual HIV in their own congregations.)
At the end of the conference, all of the families left and then all of the church staff and volunteers began to leave. When I started walking out, I saw my father and a few of my friends. I ran up to them and asked, “Did you know that there is a large group of children who have HIV in this church?”
They all agreed that they in fact knew that there were children with that ailment and didn't seem to care. (This spiritual state is so common that it is not looked on as the great danger that it is.) Then I asked them, “How did the children get HIV? Why haven't you guys left the church like the others?” (Physically, The DS created HIV so it comes from the Beast. In the natural, children generally get HIV from their mother at birth and the mother gets it from the father. The fathers are the spiritual leaders of the church. Paul said, “You have not many fathers, I begat you through the gospel.” So spiritually, the fathers, or pastors, are the ones who sow the diseased seed from their beastly nature, which destroys the immune system of the church who is the mother of the individual members. The seed that is sown in most of the church makes perpetual children out of its members, who have no real defense against the principalities and powers who administer the curse. “Come out from among them and be ye separate”.)
My dad told me, “I'm not really sure how the children got HIV but I do know the church leaders know. Maybe you should ask them. (The pastors know how the children got in this weak state because they sowed the seed of powerless dead religion in them.) I haven't left the church because this is my church and I'm not leaving just because there is a disease here”. (Those who will not leave when they see this state in the church don't because they are in gross idolatry with their dead religion.)
I couldn't understand how and why the church was so secretive about this issue that they had in their church. I thought all of the people who had stayed, including my father and friends, were extremely ignorant. I knew that I would not stand for a church that covered up something. I left the parking lot of that church very disturbed at how much it had changed and knew I was never going back. (Amen!)
As soon as I woke up the Lord revealed to me what this dream meant:
He was showing me how prevalent the apostate church is in America. The children with HIV represent a disease in the church that the church members and leaders knowingly ignore. Instead of coming out of the church many stay knowing it is not what the Lord desires for them. Shouldn't those children be healed of their ailment since by His stripes they were healed? (But generally the ignorant don’t know this or the power of God to save from sin and its curse of death.)
I believe this is a warning to those who the Lord has revealed the apostate church to but have ignored His revelation and continued to walk in their ignorance.
Since my earthly father was in this group of people, I knew the Lord was confirming to me that He was in fact talking about the ignorant children who have seen the apostasy but didn't turn back to Him. For many years, my father has ignored many of the revelations that the Lord has given me that I have shared with him and has decided to ignore them.
The Lord's children need to turn back to Him if they have seen the apostasy and have ignored it. If He has not yet revealed the apostasy to them, let this be a testament to His love for them to show them what is going on in our churches and come back to Him.
(Hos.4:6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I also will forget thy children. 7 As they were multiplied, so they sinned against me: I will change their glory into shame. 8 They feed on the sin of my people, and set their heart on their iniquity. 9 And it shall be, like people, like priest; and I will punish them for their ways, and will requite them their doings. 10 And they shall eat, and not have enough; they shall play the harlot, and shall not increase; because they have left off taking heed to Jehovah. 11 Whoredom and wine and new wine take away the understanding. 12 My people ask counsel at their stock, and their staff declareth unto them; for the spirit of whoredom hath caused them to err, and they have played the harlot, [departing] from under their God.)
The Fall of Babylonian Religion
David Eells
Our Father is raising up a Beast kingdom as a demolition crew to tear down or burn down all the wood, hay and stubble built on the foundation of Christ. You can be sure that everything built on the shifting sands of this world will go too, for everything that can be shaken will be.
In a vision, I was standing on a mountain and looking down the mountainside. I saw a construction crew coming up the mountainside putting up the big metal power poles for high voltage power lines. Then I looked down beside me on the ground and noticed a very old, emaciated cow lying there. It looked as though it was about to die. Next to it was a very large baby boy that I knew had been born from that cow. Next, I saw a front-end loader come and scoop up the cow and carry it away. I picked up the baby and walked over and got on an escalator. As we were going up, I noticed a woman next to me with a normal-sized baby. Looking at my baby, she said, “That looks like a real baby boy”. Watching the front-end loader carry away the cow, I said, “Yeah, I wonder how that's possible”. It’s possible because a remnant people in this trap of dead religion which has not power from God to save, heal and deliver realize this and are birthed from the old cow which doesn’t even feed good milk.
Then the scene changed, and I was walking into a ministers' conference. All the famous religious leaders of the U.S. were there. A famous minister who everyone knows and who I felt represented a generation of ministers, walked over and handed me some papers. Then the Lord said to me, “This is his propaganda about what he has accomplished”. (If we have accomplished anything, it is by God's power, will, and grace for “a man can receive nothing except it come from heaven”.) God gave me the interpretation in my spirit. The power lines are the power of God coming to faithful Christians in the Kingdom, symbolized by the mountain. The power will not come until the old cow, the Babylonish religious systems of men, are moved out of the way just as new wine cannot be put in old wineskins. I was told that the old cow was the golden calf, now come to full age and passing away.
We read in Exo 32:4 And he received it at their hand, and fashioned it with a graving tool, and made it a molten calf: and they said, These are thy gods, O Israel, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt. They were speaking of the golden calf, they said in Hebrew, “This is thy God”. God here in the literal is Elohim just as it is in verse 11 And Moses besought Jehovah his God, and said, Jehovah, why doth thy wrath wax hot against thy people, that thou hast brought forth out of the land of Egypt with great power and with a mighty hand?
And it says in verse 5 And when Aaron saw this, he built an altar before it; and Aaron made proclamation, and said, To-morrow shall be a feast to Jehovah. Lord here in the literal is YHWH, the name of our God. In other words, they were calling the golden calf Elohim and YHWH. They were giving God's name to a false god. If you have been sold on a Jesus that looks different from the Jesus of the Bible, guess what, you are worshiping the golden calf, the old cow. The old cow is “another Jesus” as Paul called it in 2Co 11:4 For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we did not preach, or [if] ye receive a different spirit, which ye did not receive, or a different gospel, which ye did not accept, ye do well to bear with [him].
He was the Egyptian Baal; the false virgin birthed son of God from Babel. You will take on the image of the Jesus you follow. Hence, the old cow represents those who have taken on the image of a false Jesus. As this old cow is being moved out of the Kingdom the greater works will be manifest through the true disciples of Christ. We want only the true image of Jesus as it says in 2Co 3:18 But we all, with unveiled face beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are transformed into the same image from glory to glory, even as from the Lord the Spirit.
The greatest beast army the world has ever known is about to come against what is thought to be the Kingdom of God. They are the construction crew that will move the Babylonish cow out of the way. A remnant baby will come out of this cow and come to maturity which is Zion. Jer 50:3-12 For out of the north there cometh up a nation against her, which shall make her land desolate, and none shall dwell therein: they are fled, they are gone, both man and beast. 4 In those days, and in that time, saith Jehovah, the children of Israel shall come, they and the children of Judah together; they shall go on their way weeping, and shall seek Jehovah their God. 5 They shall inquire concerning Zion with their faces thitherward, saying, Come ye, and join yourselves to Jehovah in an everlasting covenant that shall not be forgotten. (The apostates have forgotten that those who add to or take away from the word are under the curses of the Bible as the last verses of the Bible warn.)
6 My people have been lost sheep: their shepherds have caused them to go astray; they have turned them away on the mountains; they have gone from mountain to hill; they have forgotten their resting-place. 7 All that found them have devoured them; and their adversaries said, We are not guilty, because they have sinned against Jehovah, the habitation of righteousness, even Jehovah, the hope of their fathers. 8 Flee out of the midst of Babylon, and go forth out of the land of the Chaldeans, and be as the he-goats before the flocks.
9 For, lo, I will stir up and cause to come up against Babylon a company of great nations from the north country; and they shall set themselves in array against her; from thence she shall be taken: their arrows shall be as of an expert mighty man; none shall return in vain. (This is happening now to political and spiritual Babylon.) 10 And Chaldea (Babylon) shall be a prey: all that prey upon her shall be satisfied, saith Jehovah. 11 Because ye are glad, because ye rejoice, O ye that plunder my heritage, because ye are wanton as a heifer that treadeth out the grain, and neigh as strong horses; 12 your mother (Babylon) shall be utterly put to shame; she that bare you shall be confounded: behold, she shall be the hindermost of the nations, a wilderness, a dry land, and a desert.
The escalator represents the rest, the ceasing from our own works, which is like climbing steps, which we’re told in Heb 4:10-11 For he that is entered into his rest hath himself also rested from his works, as God did from his. (The rest is the escalator.) 11 Let us therefore give diligence to enter into that rest, that no man fall after the same example of disobedience. We do this through faith in the promises as it says in Heb 4:1-3 Let us fear therefore, lest haply, a promise being left of entering into his rest, any one of you should seem to have come short of it.
2 For indeed we have had good tidings preached unto us, even as also they: but the word of hearing did not profit them, because it was not united by faith with them that heard. 3 For we who have believed do enter into that rest; even as he hath said, As I sware in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest: although the works were finished from the foundation of the world.
You do not walk upon an escalator; you just rest. God's land of rest is standing on the promises as God told Joshua in Jos 1:3 Every place that the sole of your foot shall tread upon, to you have I given it, as I spake unto Moses. And Jesus taught us in Mar 11:24 (NENT) Therefore I say unto you, All things whatsoever ye pray and ask for, believe that ye received them, and ye shall have them. If you believe that you have received, you will cease from your struggles, self-works, and anxiety to bring it to pass. And we’re told in 1Jn 5:14-15 And this is the boldness which we have toward him, that, if we ask anything according to his will, he heareth us: 15 and if we know that he heareth us whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions which we have asked of him. For we who have believed do enter into that rest… in ceasing from our works, because the works are already accomplished by God in Heb.4:3.
For instance, if we ask God to deliver us from some sin or sickness (1Pe 2:24 who his own self bare our sins in his body upon the tree, that we, having died unto sins, might live unto righteousness; by whose stripes ye were healed.) or some other curse (Gal 3:13 Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us; for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree:), we must believe we have received since these promises are all past tense. (Notice it says “bare our sins”, and “were healed”, and “redeemed us from the curse”)
In Eph 2:8 in the original Greek it says, for by grace have ye been saved through faith; and this not of yourselves, it is the gift of God. If you have been saved, then you are saved. The word saved here is the Greek word, sozo and is translated “made thee whole” in some other scriptures including Luk 8:48 And he said unto her, Daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace. Obviously, being healed is part of being saved from the curse of sin.
The word “saved” also means saved in circumstances in Mat 8:25 And they came to him, and awoke him, saying, Save, Lord; we perish. And it means deliverance in Luk 8:36 And they that saw it told them how he that was possessed with demons was made whole. So, “saved” covers deliverance from sin and its curses; and remember, you have been saved at the cross where Jesus said in Joh 19:30 …, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up his spirit. He also said in Joh 16:33 These things have I spoken unto you, that in me ye may have peace. In the world ye have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.
By this rest, the baby will come nearer and nearer to God (like going up the escalator) and be protected and provided for in the days to come by the awesome promises we claim in: Psa 91:1 He that dwelleth in the secret place of the Most High Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. 2 I will say of Jehovah, He is my refuge and my fortress; My God, in whom I trust. 3 For he will deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, And from the deadly pestilence. 4 He will cover thee with his pinions, And under his wings shalt thou take refuge: His truth is a shield and a buckler.
5 Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night, Nor for the arrow that flieth by day; 6 For the pestilence that walketh in darkness, Nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday. 7 A thousand shall fall at thy side, And ten thousand at thy right hand; But it shall not come nigh thee. 8 Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold, And see the reward of the wicked.
9 For thou, O Jehovah, art my refuge! Thou hast made the Most High thy habitation; 10 There shall no evil befall thee, Neither shall any plague come nigh thy tent. 11 For he will give his angels charge over thee, To keep thee in all thy ways. 12 They shall bear thee up in their hands, Lest thou dash thy foot against a stone. 13 Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: The young lion and the serpent shalt thou trample under foot.
14 Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name. 15 He shall call upon me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble: I will deliver him, and honor him. 16 With long life will I satisfy him, And show him my salvation.
Psa 125:1 They that trust in Jehovah Are as mount Zion, which cannot be moved, but abideth forever. 2 As the mountains are round about Jerusalem, So Jehovah is round about his people From this time forth and for evermore. 3 For the sceptre of wickedness shall not rest upon the lot of the righteous; That the righteous put not forth their hands unto iniquity. 4 Do good, O Jehovah, unto those that are good, And to them that are upright in their hearts. 5 But as for such as turn aside unto their crooked ways (Like dead religion), Jehovah will lead them forth with the workers of iniquity. Peace be upon Israel.
The cow does not even believe in the protection and blessing of the secret place of the Most High, which we just read in Psalm 91. The cow eats grass, which Peter said was flesh in 1Pe 1:24 For, All flesh is as grass, And all the glory thereof as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower falleth.. And this represents a fleshly understanding of the Word. The cow only feeds milk, and we’re told in Heb 5:13 For every one that partaketh of milk is without experience of the word of righteousness; for he is a babe. (We are back to the immature) 14 But solid food is for fullgrown men, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern good and evil. So they are still “babes” without experience of the Word of righteousness and it represents being without spiritual senses. Born-again people have born-again senses to know and understand good and evil. As spiritual men, we must have spiritual senses. Our carnal senses trap and rule over us and our land when we live according to what we see, hear and feel as the old man and the world does.
God showed me concerning the ministers' conference that they were the bulls of Basham who had been sowing their seed in the cow. Psalms 22:12,13 is a prophecy of the religious leadership (bulls) in Jesus' day who hindered Him. Psa 22:12 Many bulls have compassed me; Strong bulls of Bashan have beset me round. 13 They gape upon me with their mouth, As a ravening and a roaring lion.
And in verse 1,16,18 are those who opposed His leadership. Psa 22:1 My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? Why art thou so far from helping me, and from the words of my groaning? Psa 22:16 For dogs have compassed me: A company of evil-doers have enclosed me; They pierced my hands and my feet. 18 They part my garments among them, And upon my vesture do they cast lots.
The disciples were the new church leadership. The true disciples are going to be given a new leadership like those who followed Jesus out of Babylonish Judaism. Isa 1:26 and I will restore thy judges as at the first, and thy counsellors as at the beginning: afterward thou shalt be called The city of righteousness, a faithful town.
God gave the Old Covenant but at the time of Jesus they had corrupted it into a respect for men and traditions instead of the word. Christianity has repeated this history. Jesus came to make disciples (Greek: methetes -which means learners and followers) of the Word and lead them out. True disciples will hear no other voice but His as it says in Joh 10:3-5 To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out. 4 When he hath put forth all his own, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice. 5 And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers.
You might say, “I would like to bring healing to this old corrupt religious cow”. Have you read Jeremiah 51:9? It says, We would have healed Babylon, but she is not healed: forsake her, and let us go every one into his own country; for her judgment reacheth unto heaven, and is lifted up even to the skies. Forsake her, brothers and sisters, and dwell in the promised land; meaning, live on His promises. And receive a kingdom that cannot be shaken as Paul writes in Heb 12:28-29 Wherefore, receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us have grace, whereby we may offer service well-pleasing to God with reverence and awe: 29 for our God is a consuming fire.
We are commanded to “Come out from among them and be ye separate.” 2Co 6:14-18 Be not unequally yoked with unbelievers: for what fellowship have righteousness and iniquity? or what communion hath light with darkness? 15 And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what portion hath a believer with an unbeliever? 16 And what agreement hath a temple of God with idols? for we are a temple of the living God; even as God said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. 17 Wherefore Come ye out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, And touch no unclean thing; And I will receive you, 18 And will be to you a Father, And ye shall be to me sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.
Rev 18:4-5 And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come forth, my people, out of her, that ye have no fellowship with her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues: 5 for her sins have reached even unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities. Isa 52:11 Depart ye, depart ye, go ye out from thence, touch no unclean thing; go ye out of the midst of her; cleanse yourselves, ye that bear the vessels of Jehovah.
Jer 51:6 Flee out of the midst of Babylon, and save every man his life; be not cut off in her iniquity: for it is the time of Jehovah's vengeance; he will render unto her a recompense. 45 My people, go ye out of the midst of her, and save yourselves every man from the fierce anger of Jehovah.
Jer 50:6-8 My people have been lost sheep: their shepherds have caused them to go astray; they have turned them away on the mountains; they have gone from mountain to hill; they have forgotten their resting-place. 7 All that found them have devoured them; and their adversaries said, We are not guilty, because they have sinned against Jehovah, the habitation of righteousness, even Jehovah, the hope of their fathers. 8 Flee out of the midst of Babylon, and go forth out of the land of the Chaldeans, and be as the he-goats before the flocks.
Leaven, Truth and the Bride
In the Church of my youth, I always felt the Spirit and joy in worship and fellowship, which was good and God did not condemn us for that. All denominations have a piece of the Lord; they just reject one another's piece. That is what makes them a denomination or sect or division; all of which Galatians calls, a work of the flesh. But the doctrine of my Church was leavened, just as in all Churches that don't teach and act on the pure Word. As it was then with me, you will need to outgrow all that to be birthed to the next level. This is the way to the Bride. She sits on the highest level of heavenly Jerusalem and includes the man-child in her body. Those who don't outgrow sects to be “one” with the holy elect, as the Shulamite (Hebrew: meaning, perfect) Bride was called in Song of Solomon, will never be in the Bride and instead will be relegated to the queens, concubines and virgins.
Son 6:8 There are threescore queens, and fourscore concubines, And virgins without number. 9 My dove, my undefiled, is [but] one; She is the only one of her mother; She is the choice one of her that bare her. The daughters saw her, and called her blessed; [Yea], the queens and the concubines, and they praised her.
The Bride will be taken into the house of the King on spiritual Mt. Zion. The queens, concubines and virgins will cry to look again at that which was pleasing to the Lord, which before they had not fully desired to be. 13 Return, return, O Shulammite; Return, return, that we may look upon thee. Why will ye look upon the Shulammite, As upon the dance of Mahanaim?
The thing that causes us to outgrow the immature churches is a respect for the Word above all else, including the idolatry that Christians have with these false institutions. The Word has to be respected above even dreams and visions which the religious spirits are well able to perform with God's permission so that we may be tried.
Our protection from this deception is always a love for truth and hatred for the leaven of lies. 2Th 2:9 [even he], whose coming is according to the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, 10 and with all deceit of unrighteousness for them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. 11 And for this cause God sendeth them a working of error, that they should believe a lie: 12 that they all might be judged who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
The constant feeding on lies and false spirits must be departed from before the seven years or one will miss the Bride who is chosen before the seven day/year marriage feast. Exo 12:15 Seven days shall ye eat unleavened bread; even the first day ye shall put away leaven out of your houses: for whosoever eateth leavened bread from the first day until the seventh day, that soul shall be cut off from Israel.
When there is idolatry with the institutions of men, which holds fellowship and submission to them higher than fellowship and submission to the Word and the more righteous, we open ourselves up to deception that comes from the Lord Himself. The denominations of Israel were deceived in this way and the Church has followed the pattern.
Eze 14:1 Then came certain of the elders of Israel unto me, and sat before me. 2 And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying, 3 Son of man, these men have taken their idols into their heart, and put the stumblingblock of their iniquity before their face: should I be inquired of at all by them? 4 Therefore speak unto them, and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Every man of the house of Israel that taketh his idols into his heart, and putteth the stumblingblock of his iniquity before his face, and cometh to the prophet; I Jehovah will answer him therein according to the multitude of his idols; 5 that I may take the house of Israel in their own heart, because they are all estranged from me through their idols.
6 Therefore say unto the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Return ye, and turn yourselves from your idols; and turn away your faces from all your abominations. 7 For every one of the house of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn in Israel, that separateth himself from me, and taketh his idols into his heart, and putteth the stumblingblock of his iniquity before his face, and cometh to the prophet to inquire for himself of me; I Jehovah will answer him by myself: 8 and I will set my face against that man, and will make him an astonishment, for a sign and a proverb, and I will cut him off from the midst of my people; and ye shall know that I am Jehovah. 9 And if the prophet be deceived and speak a word, I, Jehovah, have deceived that prophet, and I will stretch out my hand upon him, and will destroy him from the midst of my people Israel.
With the scriptures above I only scratch the surface of the problem but I have great hopes for you to outgrow religion and “follow the Lamb whithersoever He goeth”. (Rev 14:4)
God bless you dear friend. I will leave you to your decision and pray for you. I hope you will be in the Bride.

God’s Plan And Purpose For Evil (1)
David Eells – 10/13/24
Many of God’s people are having a problem forgiving their enemies in these days when we have seen so much evil. It is God’s place to judge and recompense evil. Have you not read? Rom 9:21 Or hath not the potter a right over the clay, from the same lump to make one part a vessel unto honor, and another unto dishonor? We’ve all been sinners from the same lump of clay But we got unmerited favor and they did not. The old saying is true: “There but for the grace of God go I.” So we got grace but they got justice. We must forgive to be forgiven. God is sovereign over all things; even those He draws unto Himself.
Some think this not so, but let’s see. Let’s begin with a little foundation of God’s sovereignty. We are shown in Rom.8:28 And we know that to them that love God all things work together for good, [even] to them that are called according to [his] purpose.
Do we really believe that “all things” work together to bring to pass the good purpose of God for His called? Our reactions to life’s circumstances are a good gauge of this. Knowing God’s purpose in all things gives great peace. What purpose is Paul speaking of in the above verse? In the next verse we can see that he is talking about the purpose of bringing many sons into the image of Jesus Christ. (Rom.8:29) For whom he foreknew, he also foreordained [to be] conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. God foreordained or pre-determined to bring His true children into the image of Jesus. This has been God’s purpose since the creation of the world, even before man was created and fell.
All things serve God in order to manifest His sons. That is why God created this world. Some people who do not understand may see failure in God’s plan. But when we study the sovereignty of God, we see there is no failure in God’s system. Sovereignty means to exercise supreme and independent authority. Even sin, evil, and the fall will serve God’s purpose. He is going to have sons to fellowship with throughout eternity. Toward this purpose, He is going to make all things work together for good. All things are not good, but all things work together for good. As I have said many times, “What does ‘all’ leave out?” Applying this truth to our life takes thought.
God must be omnipotent (all-powerful) over all things to make this statement. He must also be omniscient (all-knowing) in order to make such all-encompassing statements in His Word. The Scriptures proclaim that God has sovereign control over all things that have anything to do with your life. He never falls off the throne and He never shares the throne with the devil. The authority that the devil has is according to God’s design and laws. Everything serves God in the ongoing creation of sons and daughters. (Psa.119:91) They abide this day according to thine ordinances; For all things are thy servants. All things serve Him in this process, good and bad, to bring to pass His plan.
God never created anything that could thwart His plan, because God never makes mistakes. God even makes the evil to bring to pass His plan. Some will argue with that. Hopefully, you will change your mind as we examine the Scriptures. Evil is a tool of God’s sovereignty to bring us to purity and maturity. Without the evil, there is no one to put us on the cross, to persecute us, and to cause temptations to rise up so that we might reject them and be cleansed. God has made everything, even the wicked for the day when His people will need chastening. (Pro.16:4) The Lord hath made everything for its own end (Some manuscripts say: for His own purpose.); Yea, even the wicked for the day of evil.
The apostle Paul learned contentment. He understood that none could thwart God’s good plan for him. Anxiety, fear, or impatience only comes because of our own nearsighted, immature understanding of God’s master plan for us. You can imagine how valuable a great apostle and evangelist such as Paul was to the saints in his day. But, in this case, Paul was put in prison. (Php.1:12) Now I would have you know, brethren, that the things [which happened] unto me have fallen out rather unto the progress of the Gospel; (13) so that my bonds became manifest in Christ throughout the whole praetorian guard, and to all the rest; (14) and that most of the brethren in the Lord, being confident through my bonds, are more abundantly bold to speak the Word of God without fear.
Paul had an understanding that the devil was not the author of his imprisonment because of its value to God’s kingdom. Everything is going to work together for the good, individually and corporately. Individually it was for Paul’s good, and corporately it was for the brethren’s good. The Gospel went out because Paul was in prison. It was from prison that Paul wrote much of the New Testament. The Word of God went more places and was spread much faster because Paul was in prison. People became bold to go out and preach the Gospel because he was in prison.
Sometimes we look at circumstances instead of the Word and think that the devil has been able to stop God’s plan. God would have never made the devil if he had been someone who could stop His plan. Some may think that God did not make the devil, but rather a good angel that fell. Since God is all-knowing as the Scriptures say He is, He knew His angel would become the devil. He is also all-powerful to stop what He knew would happen, therefore, at least by omission, He is the creator of the devil. God says in (Isa.45:7) I form the light, and create darkness; I make peace, and create evil. I am the Lord, that doeth all these things. (Isa.54:16)… I have created the waster to destroy. (17) No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper…
Since God created the evil waster, then obviously, He has authority to say that he cannot prosper against us. Evil cannot prosper for its own purpose, only God’s good purpose. Do you suppose the three Hebrews wondered why the God to whom they had been so faithful had ordained the wicked to cast them into a fiery furnace? Those Hebrews found out this trial was to impress a heathen king with the power and saving grace of the God of Israel. He was impressed when God appeared to be walking with them through the fire and there was no harm to their bodies or clothes, only their ropes or bondage was burned off (Dan.3:25-27). God’s purpose was to impress the heathen and to deliver them from bondage. This is a type or shadow of His purpose in our lives, too.
Everything that God is doing, He is doing according to the counsel of His own Will. There is not another completely free will in all of creation. If there were, this would be a dangerous place. A free will is a will that is able to do what it wants. Thank God that it is only His good free will, which “worketh all things after the counsel of his will,” that is in control.
I want to encourage you and show you how God is using the wicked and their evil works and His purposes for it. As we saw, He said in (Isa.45:7) I form the light, and create darkness; I make peace, and create evil. I am the Lord, that doeth all these things. What good reason could God possibly have in creating darkness and evil? Be patient, believe the Scriptures and receive a wonderful understanding of this. Let’s examine how God exercises His Will over evil and to what extent.
In (Isa.10:5) Ho Assyrian, the rod of mine anger, the staff in whose hand is mine indignation! In this verse, God calls the enemy of Israel His rod and staff to correct them. In Psalm 23, the Good Shepherd uses His rod and staff to comfort David. The rod and staff were tools of the shepherd. The Lord, our Shepherd, uses our enemies as tools to correct us and keep us in line. (Isa.10:6) I will send him against a profane nation (Israel or the Church), and against the people of my wrath will I give him a charge, to take the spoil, and to take the prey, and to tread them down like the mire of the streets. (7) Howbeit he meaneth not so, neither doth his heart think so; but it is in his heart to destroy, and to cut off nations not a few.
Notice that the Assyrians did not know they were sent by God to fulfill His plan. It was in their heart to take a spoil and a prey. Whenever God uses vessels of dishonor, they are just fulfilling their lusts. God worked in the Assyrians to will and to do of His good pleasure. We will see that God does this with all of His vessels of dishonor. He has purpose for the wicked in the earth, otherwise, He would have removed them long ago. After God fulfills that purpose, He will do away with them.
(Isa.10:12) Wherefore it shall come to pass, that, when the Lord hath performed his whole work upon mount Zion and on Jerusalem, I will punish the fruit of the stout heart of the king of Assyria, and the glory of his high looks. (13) For he hath said, By the strength of my hand I have done it… Notice that the king of Assyria thought that he had done this by his own strength. As history and this verse prove, when God is finished using the wicked for His people, He will destroy them. From the beginning, God did not intend to immediately do away with the wicked but to use them to perfect His people.
He commanded the angels to let the tares grow together with the wheat until the end (Mat.13:30), and only then will He separate and destroy the wicked (Mat.13:41-42). He explained that if you gather up the tares, ye root up the wheat with them (Mat.13:29). If God took away the tares, the wheat would die for lack of chastening and object lessons.
(Isa.10:13) For he hath said, By the strength of my hand I have done it, and by my wisdom…The Assyrians believed that this victory was by their wisdom and strength, but God claimed to be using them as a tool. (15) Shall the axe boast itself against him that heweth therewith? shall the saw magnify itself against him that wieldeth it? as if a rod should wield them that lift it up, [or] as if a staff should lift up [him that is] not wood. That is the way God sees this army, like a dumb tool. God wielded the axe, saw, rod, and staff and lifted it up to work on His creation. How ludicrous for men to take any credit. God is sovereign, and everything else is a tool to be used by Him in the chastening and perfecting of His saints.
We should know that God sends these tools to us to carve us into a vessel for His use and that we need to submit for our own sake. These tools are necessary until the saints are God’s finished creation and then He will put them away. Meanwhile, we need not fear that the purpose of evil is prospering. (Isa.54:16)… I have created the waster to destroy. (17) No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper… How comforting it is to know that only God’s purpose is prospering!
Even Satan is not put in his place until the end when the tempting and crucifying of the saints is over. (Rev.20:1) And I saw an angel coming down out of heaven, having the key of the abyss and a great chain in his hand. (2) And he laid hold on the dragon, the old serpent, which is the Devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years, (3) and cast him into the abyss, and shut [it], and sealed [it] over him, that he should deceive the nations no more, until the thousand years should be finished: after this he must be loosed for a little time.
One angel had no trouble chaining Satan and casting him into the pit. That was so easy that God could have done it a long time ago if He wanted to. According to the theology of most, God would have had to send an army of angels to get that “heavyweight.” After all, has he not been resisting God for over 6,000 years? Wrong! Notice that after 1,000 years God looses him again! Does that give you any idea about who loosed him the first time in the Garden of Eden? Does God loose Satan to do His Will, or to thwart His Will?
(Rev.20:7) And when the thousand years are finished, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison, (8) and shall come forth to deceive the nations which are in the four corners of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to the war: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea. (9) And they went up over the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down out of heaven, and devoured them. (10) And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire…
(11) And I saw a great white throne… God loosed the devil to deceive all the evil nations, to make war on the saints. He did this so that He could rain down fire on the nations to destroy them, just in time for the great white throne judgment of the wicked. God did not even need the angels to destroy the devil and all of his children. He could have done this in the garden and saved us the trial, but it was not His plan!
Who cast the devil and his angels down to the earth to deceive the nations and to make war on the saints during the Tribulation period? (Rev.12:7) And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels [going forth] to war with the dragon; and the dragon warred and his angels; (8) And they prevailed not, neither was their place found any more in heaven. (9) And the great dragon was cast down, the old serpent, he that is called the Devil and Satan, the deceiver of the whole world; he was cast down to the earth, and his angels were cast down with him. Then the devil in the beast made war with the saints.
(Rev.13:7) And it was given unto him (the beast) to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and there was given to him authority over every tribe and people and tongue and nation. If God was going to cast the devil and his angels down, why not cast them into the lake of fire? Instead, God restrained them to the earth where we are! God needed the hoards of evil to separate the tares from the wheat and to mature the saints. Notice, there “was given unto him” (the beast), both authority over the nations and authority to make war on the saints. God gave authority to the devil, who dwelt in the beast and gave authority to the beast, to try the saints and to crucify their flesh.
Back to (Isa.10:20) And it shall come to pass in that day, that the remnant of Israel, and they that are escaped of the house of Jacob, shall no more again lean upon him that smote them, but shall lean upon the Lord, the Holy One of Israel, in truth. People lean on the flesh and the world. We trust in America to defend and make us socially secure. The world has our love, respect, honor, and fear, all of which belongs only to God. God has a remedy for that. God brought the illicit lovers of Israel against her so that she would learn who the true enemies of her soul were. In this case, the Lord is showing us the same thing.
One of His remedies for us loving the things, people, and thinking of the world is that He is going to bring all that against us. (Mat.24:9) Ye shall be hated of all the nations for my name’s sake. It is necessary that we be hated of all nations so that God’s name is manifest in us. It is necessary that the world hate us to turn our heart away from the love of the world. God’s people were too comfortable in Egypt so He turned the Egyptians’ heart to hate His people (Psa.105:25). Then He saved them from the hand of him that hated them (Psa.106:10). First, God turned their heart against Israel, then, God delivered Israel out of their hand, and they were so grateful.
In (2Sa.7:14) I will be his father, and he shall be my son: if he commit iniquity, I will chasten him with the rod of men, and with the stripes of the children of men. God’s purpose in creating sons is going to be fulfilled by using vessels of dishonor to chasten His sons for their sins. The rod is physical men, armies, and nations. God uses spiritual principalities and powers to motivate these vessels of dishonor. If I were to pick up a stick and hit my neighbor with it, you would accuse me of evil. On the other hand, if I take the same stick and go chasten my child because of willful disobedience, you should think that good (Pro.23:13-14). What is the difference? The same stick was used, but the purpose was opposite. To attribute evil to God for using evil shows a lack of understanding of His purpose or motive.
God is going to use evil to do good. God is good and all things that God does are good. We cannot limit God with self-righteous thinking. God is going to do a good work with evil. In fact, without evil, God cannot do this work. (1Ti.1:20) of whom is Hymenaeus and Alexander; whom I delivered unto Satan, that they might be taught not to blaspheme. The word “blaspheme” here means “to speak evil against.” These men were speaking evil against either someone or the truth, and Paul, for God, turned them over to Satan so that they might be taught not to blaspheme. Satan teaches us much. In most cases, it is Satan and his demons that execute the curse on those that sin.
The curse was spoken and ordained by God in Deuteronomy 28 to motivate sinners to repent. Satan tempts us with lusts, but when we give in, he legally may administer the curse until we repent. When we get out from under the blood, Satan is waiting. It is not in Satan’s mind to teach us anything or chasten us. That is God’s purpose. Satan is full of lust, and hates mankind and wants to do evil against mankind. Satan does not wish to teach us, mature us, or bring us to an understanding of God but he still brings that to pass.
Jesus said, If a kingdom be divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand (Mar.3:24). Satan’s kingdom is divided against itself because what he does to the people of God causes them to repent and mature. It is not just Satan, but everything around us that God is going to use to bring us to maturity. Satan, the leader over the vessels of dishonor, is very important to this process. Satan is in command over the wicked spirits and thus, wicked people. God is in command over Satan. The Scripture says, “All things work together for good.” According to this, what Satan does to us is for our good. Does Satan understand what he is doing? No, he does not understand.
According to the law of sowing and reaping, he has sown deceit, therefore he is deceived. He is out to take man’s position of authority by tempting him to sin. Satan is also a created being. God did not create any being that was going to be able to thwart His Will. He created everything for the purpose of bringing His chosen into the image of Jesus Christ. There are several methods that God uses to move the wicked, Satan, and the demons. One is by the power of suggestion. He works in them to will and to do of His good pleasure. He also commands or gives permission to them.
We read in (1Co.5:5) to deliver such a one unto Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus. This man had his father’s wife, probably what we would call a stepmother. Paul spoke to the elders in Corinth and determined to agree with them to turn this man over to Satan. Do you think that Satan is thinking about destroying people’s fleshly nature to save their spirit? The flesh is Satan’s ally and a manifestation of his very nature.
Paul is taking authority over the power of the enemy and using that power to chasten rebellious children of God. (Luk.10:19) Behold, I have given you authority to tread upon serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy… (20) Nevertheless in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you… Jesus delegated authority over the power of enemy spirits to His disciples.
Disciples have a right by the Spirit of God to use their power or to forbid their power. (Mat.18:18) Verily I say unto you, what things soever ye shall bind (forbid) on earth shall be bound (forbidden) in heaven; and what things soever ye shall loose (permit) on earth shall be loosed (permitted) in heaven. Disciples have authority to forbid or permit. With the guidance of God’s Spirit, mature disciples can permit the devil’s power for a good purpose, “that the spirit may be saved.” In this way, God exercises His sovereignty through His disciples.
When Jesus sent out His disciples to make disciples, He commanded them to pass on the same authority and commands that He had given them. (Mat.28:20) Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I commanded you: and lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. If we are disciples (Greek: methetes, “learners and followers”) of Christ, we have the same commands. Jesus said that He would be with them to do this “even unto the end of the world.” Obviously, the original disciples did not live that long, therefore He is speaking to all disciples.
Today, ministries go from one extreme to the other. Either God’s ministers are totally powerless in the face of rebellion or they exercise carnal dominion like the Pharisees. Just as a father and mother have authority in a family to chasten their children physically, the leadership in the Church has authority, because of the love of Jesus, over His children. This authority is not for the purpose of personal animosity, anger, or vengeance. It is because we do not want to see God’s people come to the end of their lives having never repented of their sins and fall off into the pit. God’s purpose has to be continually working in a person’s life to bring them to maturity, to get them ready to face Him. In the above reference, Paul turned this man over to Satan in obedience to the Spirit, out of love. Some worry about the possibility of abuse here, but the curse that is causeless alighteth not (Pro.26:2).
We read in (Rom.8:7) Because the mind of the flesh is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can it be. It is God’s plan for Satan to administer chastening. It is Satan’s lust to do what he is permitted, to destroy man. Satan has been given power over the flesh. Do you remember the serpent in the garden? He was cursed to crawl on his belly and to eat the dust of the earth. What is the dust of the earth? It is what our flesh was made from. Satan has been given authority to come against flesh. I am speaking not only of this body but also of the carnal desires and appetites that gratify self. Satan’s job is to devour the old man, and he is very good at it. The benefit is the saving of the spiritual man.
God commonly turns us over to Satan for chastening when we walk in willful disobedience. In Matthew 18, we have a case of unforgiveness. (Mat.18:34) And his lord was wroth, and delivered him to the tormentors (demons), till he should pay all that was due. (35) So shall also my heavenly Father do unto you, if ye forgive not every one his brother from your hearts. This is a common thing. When we see ourselves delivered over to the curse, we should examine our conscience to see if there is cause to repent. I say “if,” because sometimes Satan is permitted to come against us to build our faith and to prove our authority over him. God uses a very bad devil to do a very good work in more ways than one.
It says in (2Pe.2:9) The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptation, and to keep the unrighteous under punishment unto the day of judgment; (10) but chiefly them that walk after the flesh in the lust of defilement, and despise dominion… God takes credit for keeping the rebellious under judgment. Some live under judgment all their life because they “walk after the flesh.” If we do not understand the sovereignty of God, many times we are going to go through a lot more judgment. We need to recognize God’s purpose in everything. He uses Satan, his demons, or the wicked people around us to chasten and bring us to repentance or to build our faith through trials.
Many only see the vessel; they do not see God behind the vessel whose purpose is being fulfilled. Satan would have us believe that the reason he comes against us is because we are good children of God. However, God would have us believe that when Satan comes against us it is because He loves us and chastens our corrupt nature and acts, or to give our faith a spiritual workout. If you only see Satan coming against you and not God, then you do not have any motivation to change. But, if you see God sending Satan against you, then you are motivated to change. (Joh.3:27) … A man can receive nothing, except it have been given him from heaven.
(Heb.2:2)… Every transgression and disobedience received a just recompense of reward. All you have to do is look at the recompense, and you can tell when something is a transgression. When we look at the recompense we can see if it is wrong. Is it wrong to recreationally indulge in hard liquor? Look at the recompense, deterioration of the body and spirit. Is it wrong to smoke? Look at the recompense, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), cancer, and other physical complications. People who are bitter, angry, and unforgiving are delivered over to cancer, arthritis, and other immune deficiencies.
Many with cancer or arthritis have kept up anger and bitterness in their lives. Anxiety and worry gives way to ulcers. You do not have to ask if it is sin; look at what it does to people. Even if you do not know a verse that tells you it is a sin, look at the fruit of it. Look at what comes against you because of it. God has ordained the entire curse system to come against those who transgress. Whether God is using the devil, his demons, wicked people around you, sickness, or any other part of the curse, He is doing it to bring us to repentance and fruit.
God will use evil spirits to humble us and bring about good fruit in us. Paul is a good example. He was caught up to the third heaven and received wonderful revelations that tempted him to be proud. (2Co.12:7) And by reason of the exceeding greatness of the revelations, that I should not be exalted overmuch, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, a messenger (Greek: angelos, “angel”) of Satan to buffet me, that I should not be exalted overmuch. Paul says the thorn was an angel of Satan to buffet him. The word “buffet” means “to hit over and over.” You can see that this evil spirit was given to Paul to fulfill God’s purpose of humbling him.
(2Co.12:8) Concerning this thing I besought the Lord thrice, that it might depart from me. (9) And he hath said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for [my] power is made perfect in weakness… This angel of Satan was bringing about a humbling in Paul’s life that God called grace. When Paul was in a position of personal weakness or inability to save himself, he got to see God’s power to save. It should be the same with us. Earlier in the text, Paul lists what he calls weaknesses. He lists things such as shipwrecks, prisons, persecutions from enemies, and stripes. Not once does Paul mention sickness in the list. The point is that God uses evil angels to come against our lusts, to humble us, to chasten us, and to cause us to repent.
(2Co.12:8) Concerning this thing I besought the Lord thrice, that it (the angel of Satan or demon) might depart from me. (9) And he hath said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee… God was saying that He would deliver Paul from the individual buffetings, but not from the angel of Satan. Paul said as much to Timothy. (2Ti.3:11) Persecutions, sufferings. What things befell me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra; what persecutions I endured. And out of them all the Lord delivered me. (2Tim.4:18) The Lord will deliver me from every evil work… In this, we see the sovereignty of God in both bringing the chastening and supplying the deliverance.
We read in (2Th.1:4) So that we ourselves glory in you in the churches of God for your patience and faith in all your persecutions and in the afflictions which ye endure. God never does anything just for one purpose. (2Th.1:5) [Which is] a manifest token of the righteous judgment of God; to the end that ye may be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for which ye also suffer.
Sometimes God’s method is to use an angel of Satan to bring us into persecution and affliction, which Paul said was a token of the judgment of God to get us ready for His kingdom. Most often, the demons are administering the curse to do that. All things, curses and blessings, are working together for our good. We have a covenant right to deliverance from the curse. (Gal. 3:13) Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us…
Now let’s go to (Psa.78:43) How he set his signs in Egypt, And his wonders in the field of Zoan, (44) And turned their rivers into blood, And their streams, so that they could not drink. (45) He sent among them swarms of flies, which devoured them; And frogs, which destroyed them. (46) He gave also their increase unto the caterpillar, And their labor unto the locust. (47) He destroyed their vines with hail, And their sycomore-trees with frost. (48) He gave over their cattle also to the hail, And their flocks to hot thunderbolts. (49) He cast upon them the fierceness of his anger, Wrath, and indignation, and trouble, A band of angels of evil.
(50) He made a path for his anger; He spared not their soul from death, But gave their life over to the pestilence (51) And smote all the first-born in Egypt. Here we have God sending judgments, which He called “a band of angels of evil,” to chasten His people and destroy their enemies. When God sent all these judgments through “angels of evil,” they came against both the Egyptians and the Israelites in the beginning until His people were willing to come out of Egypt. Then God made a separation between Goshen and Egypt. The judgments then fell only on the Egyptians so that God’s people would be set free. When we repent of living in Egypt, we do not have to live under the judgments.
And (Exo.12:23) For the Lord will pass through to smite the Egyptians; and when he seeth the blood upon the lintel, and on the two side-posts, the Lord will pass over the door, and will not suffer the destroyer to come in unto your houses to smite you. Notice that the Lord passed over the Israelites’ door with the destroyer and smote the Egyptians. The king angel of the abyss in Revelation 9:11 was Apollyon (in the Greek) or Abaddon (in the Hebrew), and both of these names mean “destroyer.”
These are just two of the many names for the devil. He was the king demon over death, but God had authority over him. The destroyer came through at midnight, exactly when God said he would. God’s purpose was for him to destroy God’s enemies and anyone who did not partake of the lamb. God told them to eat the lamb, and the destroyer would not smite them. That is how we come out from under the curse of sin and death. We must eat the lamb, Jesus Christ, the Word. By consuming and digesting the Word of God, we are delivered from the curse and manifest our sonship.
Sennacherib, king of the Assyrian Empire, had sent his vast army against Judah, but God promised them victory through Isaiah. (Isa.37:7) Behold, I will put a spirit in him, and he shall hear tidings, and shall return unto his own land; and I will cause him to fall by the sword in his own land. God put a demon spirit in Sennacherib, who, hearing voices, was then afraid of being away from home. Many demon-possessed people hear voices. The demons want to destroy God’s people. Sometimes they have no choice in what they do. God used this demon to take the king home where he fell by the sword of two of his sons (Isa.37:38).
Some ministers, who have not lived righteous lives and yet retain authority over God’s people, have been demon-possessed. King Saul was just such a man. God called him and anointed him, but he rebelled. (1Sa.16:14) Now the Spirit of the Lord departed from Saul, and an evil spirit from the Lord troubled him. If most people did not know this was in the Word, they would accuse me of heresy. We read here an evil spirit from the Lord troubling Saul because he would not obey. (15) And Saul’s servants said unto him, Behold now, an evil spirit from God troubleth thee. (16) Let our lord now command thy servants, that are before thee, to seek out a man who is a skilful player on the harp: and it shall come to pass, when the evil spirit from God is upon thee, that he shall play with his hand, and thou shalt be well. Of course, they found David with his harp to comfort the king. Isn’t that something? God sent an evil spirit to trouble Saul and then sent David with his harp to give him some relief from the torment. He works on us from both sides.
I ministered in an assembly once where I discerned that the pastor had demons. He was having problems with women, money, and honesty. He told me three times that God had spoken to him that he was Saul and I was David. I shared with him truths that would help him to overcome, but he was self-willed. I asked the Lord what to do about him because he was causing believers to stumble. God said, “Let the Philistines take him out.” The Philistines were the enemies of God’s people who took Saul out. The enemies of God’s people did take this man out, too. I ended up taking over the ministering there for a short time. It was Saul and David all over again. God worked on this man from both sides. In Deuteronomy 28, God says over and over that He would send the curse to the rebellious, and now we know that He sent Jesus to deliver from that curse.
We are constantly faced with a choice. God has put us here for our soul to make a decision between our flesh and our spirit. We are the highest creation of God and the lowest creation of God. We are between heaven and hell, between demons and the angels, between God and the devil. Every way we turn, there is a decision to be made. God planned it that way. He is saying to rebellious people, “The curse is in front of you; do not go. But if you do, it is your own fault, and you will pay a penalty.” At the same time He offers grace to make the right decision.
God raised up Gideon to conquer Israel’s enemies. After this, Gideon would not accept a position of authority over Israel. In fact, he would not let his sons take a position of authority over Israel while he was alive (Jdg.8:23). Gideon had seventy-one sons, one of these by a concubine in Shechem. This son lusted after authority and wanted to be the next king over Israel. So he conspired with the men of Shechem to kill Gideon’s seventy sons. All but Jotham were murdered. Jotham prophesied the following to the men of Shechem after they had executed the dastardly deed: (Jdg.9:20)… Let fire come out from Abimelech, and devour the men of Shechem, and the house of Millo; and let fire come out from the men of Shechem, and from the house of Millo, and devour Abimelech.
God was pronouncing through Jotham a curse of division upon the guilty parties. (Jdg.9:22) And Abimelech was prince over Israel three years. (23) And God sent an evil spirit between Abimelech and the men of Shechem; and the men of Shechem dealt treacherously with Abimelech: (24) that the violence done to the threescore and ten sons of Jerubbaal might come, and that their blood might be laid upon Abimelech their brother, who slew them, and upon the men of Shechem, who strengthened his hands to slay his brethren. God wanted to judge and destroy this evil alliance so He sent an evil spirit between them to divide and conquer. Both Abimelech and the men of Shechem were destroyed because of this one evil spirit. God used evil to judge the guilty and to deliver His people from their hand.
Once I was ministering in an assembly along with two other ministers. These two ministers were grieving me because they were continually patting each other on the back, even while they were agreeing to disagree with God’s Word. When I went home one evening after witnessing them confirm one another’s errors in front of the congregation, I felt that the Lord put in my heart to pray that He would send an evil spirit between these two ministers to break up this evil alliance. I was shocked. The next day, I found out that on the very evening of my prayer, those two had fallen out with one another to the degree that they had separated. God used that to separate this evil alliance between these two people.
God uses this method all through the Scriptures. Let me share another example. (Rev.16:14) For they are spirits of demons, working signs; which go forth unto the kings of the whole world, to gather them together unto the war of the great day of God, the Almighty. Here demons gather the whole world to fight the battle of Armageddon. The same account in Zechariah says that God gathered the whole world to that battle. (Zec.14:2) For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle… (3) Then shall the Lord go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle. So now we see that God will use the demons to gather the enemy army against His people just so that He can destroy them and save His people. Friend, can you see that if God [is] for us, who [is] against us? (Rom.8:31) On the other hand, if God is against us then who can be for us?
After gathering the nations to the battle, the Lord said that He would “fight against those nations, as when He fought in the day of battle.” In 2 Chronicles 20:17, the Lord told Jehoshaphat, “Ye shall not need to fight in this [battle]: set yourselves, stand ye still, and see the salvation of the Lord.” He was going to fight this battle. His method of warfare is described in the following verses: (2Ch.20:22) And when they began to sing and to praise, the Lord set liers-in-wait against the children of Ammon, Moab, and mount Seir, that were come against Judah; and they were smitten. (23) For the children of Ammon and Moab stood up against the inhabitants of mount Seir, utterly to slay and destroy them: and when they had made an end of the inhabitants of Seir, every one helped to destroy another.
I used to think that they waited in ambush for one another. But as I looked at the Scripture more carefully, I discovered that God set liers-in-wait for the whole army so that they fell out with one another. The demon spirits who brought them there were waiting to assemble them so that they could ambush them with suspicion, greed, anger, fear, etc., and cause them to destroy one another. He divided three armies that came as one into three, and they killed off one another. Since God is paralleling this to the battle of Armageddon, He will cause a civil war in the midst of the end time beast kingdom, and they will divide into kings of the north, kings of the south (Dan.11:40), and kings of the East (Rev.16:12) to destroy one another and save God’s people. God is in control of demons, therefore, He is also in control of their obedient servants, men. All this is for the purpose of bringing us to repentance and glorifying Himself in our eyes and the world’s. This should be a word of encouragement to anyone.
Though God uses evil spirits to divide, He also uses us to forbid them when appropriate. God wants us to resist the devil, to not permit his lies or his accusing of the brethren. God expects us to be vigilant and to test the spirits at all times. The ability to test with discernment comes from the practice of seeking to be a vessel of honor and having our spiritual senses exercised by the Word to discern good and evil (Heb.5:13-14). It is a pity more of God’s people do not hear from the Lord today.
Many falsely believe that the division of an assembly of Christians could not possibly be the Will of God. The assembly at Jerusalem was scattered by persecution in order to spread the Gospel. Israel rebelled from under the house of David leaving only Judah and Benjamin. King Rehoboam gathered his army to bring the rebels back into the fold, but the Lord through the prophet spoke to them. (1Ki.12:24) Thus saith the Lord, Ye shall not go up, nor fight against your brethren the children of Israel: return every man to his house; for this thing is of me… Other reasons for division could be because the assembly is too large to meet the needs of the individual or because the assembly is apostate and ruled by men, in which case, the people would not grow up in Christ.
God divided Babel because their unity was for the purpose of evil. Notice it was the tongue that divided them just as the denominations are divided now. God’s purpose in division is always good but man’s purpose is generally evil. Denominationalism is the tendency to divide into sects and is a work of the flesh according to the Word (Gal.5:20; 1Co.1:10-13; 1Co.3:1-8; 1Co.11:17-19; and so on.). Jesus prayed that His disciples would be one even as He and the Father are one (Joh.17:21-22). This can only happen when in the Tribulation the righteous give up their sects to be one flock with one Shepherd (Joh.10:16).
Now let’s go to (Rom.9:17) For the scripture saith unto Pharaoh, For this very purpose did I raise thee up, that I might show in thee my power, and that my name might be published abroad in all the earth. (18) So then he hath mercy on whom he will, and whom he will he hardeneth. Here it is hard to escape the fact that God made Pharaoh stubborn in order to make Himself famous and powerful in the eyes of men. God knows that we need to perceive a great God and Savior. Those who ignorantly think they are defending God’s reputation usually say that Pharaoh hardened his own heart first. (Exo.4:21) And the Lord said unto Moses, When thou goest back into Egypt, see that thou do before Pharaoh all the wonders which I have put in thy hand: but I will harden his heart and he will not let the people go. (Exo.7:3) And I will harden Pharaoh’s heart, and multiply my signs and my wonders in the land of Egypt.
Five times in Exodus, God says that He hardened Pharaoh’s heart before we are told that Pharaoh… hardened his heart (Exo.8:15). God sent Moses to tell Pharaoh to set His people free. He then hardened Pharaoh’s heart to refuse to set them free. To Israel this made their freedom naturally impossible. God gave to them what they perceived as hopeless in order to glorify Himself in their eyes. They needed to know that He could save them from anything in their coming wilderness trial. God and you are a majority in any situation.
If that was not enough, God hardened Pharaoh’s heart again to cause him to follow the Israelites into the Red Sea to the Egyptians’ destruction. (Exo.14:4) And I will harden Pharaoh’s heart, and he shall follow after them; and I will get me honor upon Pharaoh, and upon all his host… Unlike the movies, this is the only Pharaoh that they have found that died of drowning. All this was just to impress Israel with God’s power to set free. They were going to need this in the trials to come.
Have you ever had some hardened heart in a position of power over you? Go to God, not Pharaoh. All Moses ever got from him was insolence. Have you considered your flesh? Does it seem more powerful than your ability to obey God? That was God’s plan. He wants to show us His power to save from sin. (2Co.4:7) But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the exceeding greatness of the power may be of God, and not from ourselves. God wants no competition from our own ability. He wants to prove the power of His grace through our faith in Him.
It says in (Pro.26:2) As the sparrow in her wandering, as the swallow in her flying, So the curse that is causeless alighteth not. No curse can alight upon us unless there is a cause. Sin and corruption are the most likely cause. Only God’s purpose is fulfilled in a curse. It says in (Num.23:8) How shall I curse, whom God hath not cursed? And how shall I defy, whom the Lord hath not defied? We are really wise if we are looking for the cause, and not looking at the curse, or looking at the devil. If we deal with the cause, we do not have to live with the curse.
The problem is people will not deal with the cause. They just live with the curse and try by man’s methods to be delivered from it. If man, by his own methods, could deliver us from the curse that God sent to cause us to repent, man would be detrimental. What if we examine our conscience and do not see the cause? Then it is very possible that the cause is so that we renew our mind with the Word and fight the good fight of faith. Sometimes the Lord sends Satan against us so that we can whip him. Yes, God does that to prove to us that His Word is true and that we have authority over all the power of the enemy. God’s ultimate purpose is to manifest His sovereignty through us.
God wants us to learn to fight a spiritual warfare. God gives us practice sometimes. When Satan comes against us through demons, wicked people, or circumstances, we should examine our conscience. If we do not find guilt because of willful disobedience, then we should exercise the authority that Jesus gave us against Satan, because we are going to win. In coming against Satan, we are also crucifying our old man because our old man is created in the image of Satan. When we fight with Satan, we fight with “self”. When we win against Satan, we win against “self”. That is another part of God’s plan that is so perfect and so beautiful. Amen.
Let’s go to (Lam.3:37) Who is he that saith, and it cometh to pass, when the Lord commandeth it not? Can evil command something and it come to pass if the Lord has not commanded it? No! God is sovereign. Jesus said His words were not His but the Father’s. We know this was true because they came to pass. By the grace of God, I have commanded healings, miracles, provisions and deliverances that have come to pass. Religious people have told me that my faith was presumptuous because we cannot know the Will of God. I have thought, “How ludicrous! Do I have power to do these things? God did them. I merely agreed with His Word.” The proof that I was in agreement with God is that they came to pass. If the devil commands something and it comes to pass, is it because he is more powerful than God? Not according to this verse. It is because God commanded it whether the devil knew it or not. (Lam.3:38) Out of the mouth of the Most High cometh there not evil and good?
Where does evil and good come from? God says that it comes out of the mouth of the Most High. Does that mean God is evil? No, it means we deserve or need the ministry of evil. (Lam.3:39) Wherefore doth a living man complain, a man for the punishment of his sins? We have been brainwashed to believe that man is basically good and deserving of good, so we are shocked when bad things happen to “good” people. (Mar.10:18) And Jesus said unto him… None is good save one, [even] God.
From God’s mouth comes blessing and curse, good and evil. The evil here represents the hard things that happen to “good” people in order to turn them toward good and to stop them from continuing in sin. Any evil that comes against the life of those who “are called according to His purpose” is for good. We should always examine our conscience and the Word to find out if God is sending Satan against us because of the sin in us or the actions of sin that we do.
Arminianism is the erroneous belief that everyone has a free will. God is the only one who has a free will. We have a limited free will, limited by our ability, thinking, nature, body, and circumstances. If you have a free will, let’s see if you can stop sinning. We cannot do just anything we would like to do. The only one the Bible credits with the ability to do everything He wishes is God (Eph.1:11) In whom also we were made a heritage, having been foreordained (predestined) according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his will.
Like this verse, Calvinism teaches the sovereignty of God over election, predestination, evil, and everything. The only way that we can do what we want to do is to get God’s Will in us. (Php.2:13) For it is God who worketh in you both to will and to work, for his good pleasure. Then we can do what we want to do because we want what He wants, and what He wants He gets.
That is how the Son sets us free, by giving us a will to do His Will. While we have our own will, we will be at war with ourselves. (Gal.5:17) For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; for these are contrary the one to the other; that ye may not do the things that ye would. We have God’s Will in us, and we have our will in us. They are tugging away at each other. That is not freedom or a free will. This means that “ye may not do the things that ye would.”
We did not even have the freedom of will to come to God. (Joh.6:44) No man can come to me, except the Father that sent me draw him: and I will raise him up in the last day. That is not a free will. We choose not to come to God, unless He draws us. You may choose to sin, most do, but God will choose the time, place, and extent. (Pro.16:9) A man’s heart deviseth his way; But the Lord directeth his steps. God directs the steps of His vessels of honor or dishonor. The only reason we make the choice in God’s direction is because of grace. (Joh.15:16) Ye did not choose me, but I chose you, and appointed you, that ye should go and bear fruit… Jesus first chose us and gave us the will to choose Him because of His unmerited favor. We bear fruit because of a gift of His Will in us.
The Lord brings spirits against us to chasten us and to cause us to repent, then after we overcome, He has total ability to make our enemies to be at peace with us. (Pro.16:7) When a man’s ways please the Lord, He maketh even his enemies to be at peace with him. We see here that God has total control over our enemies and He can put peace in their heart toward us when we overcome. We should remember this when we are tempted to take care of our enemies ourselves. So we see, God uses our enemies when our ways do not please the Lord.
God created our enemies just for that purpose. (Pro.16:4) The Lord hath made everything for its own end (Some manuscripts say: for His own purpose.): Yea, even the wicked for the day of evil. Need I say that we should not argue with God? We see God’s hand as sovereign in all of this. God can send the wicked to us, for a day of evil, because our ways do not please the Lord. When we overcome, God can give us total peace in the midst of our enemies. Whether they are wicked men or demon spirits, it does not make any difference.
Should we reason with our puny understanding that God would be wrong to make the wicked? He has an answer in (Rom.9:21) Or hath not the potter a right over the clay, from the same lump to make one part a vessel unto honor, and another unto dishonor? (22) What if God, willing to show his wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much longsuffering vessels of wrath fitted (Greek: “to complete thoroughly”) unto destruction. Notice that they are vessels of dishonor and wrath, made to be destroyed. (2Pe.2:12) But these, as creatures without reason, born mere animals to be taken and destroyed…
In instances like this, we must repent and conform our reasoning to God’s if we want truth. In God’s opinion, and His is the only one that counts, the wicked are animals, made to be destroyed when they have served their purpose. (Pro.21:18) The wicked is a ransom for the righteous; And the treacherous [cometh] in the stead of the upright. A ransom is a price that must be paid for someone’s freedom. The wicked are a price that God pays to create sons who are free from the bondage of corruption, so let us not waste their sacrifice.
When Joseph was revealed unto his brethren who came out of Canaan’s land into Egypt, they were repenting to him because of the way that they had treated him. Joseph understood the cause for all the tribulation he had been through. (Gen.50:20) And as for you, ye meant evil against me; but God meant it for good, to bring to pass, as it is this day, to save much people alive. Joseph credited God for using evil to bring him into Egypt “to save much people alive.” The Israelites who came out of Canaan’s land were starving to death. When they came to Egypt, Joseph, who was sent on ahead because of his ‘Judas’ brothers, fed them. God used them to crucify Joseph and prepare him as a vessel of honor.
I remember once when I bought a used car from a heathen. We had agreed on a price and were to close the deal the next day. I had asked God for a better price. The next day, when I went to close the deal, he said he would sell it for the better price that I had only spoken about to the Lord. Only God could put in the heart of a lost used car salesman to suggest selling for a cheaper price after we had already agreed. I realized that God had put this in his heart even though it did not come naturally to him. God works in us to will and to do of His good pleasure, so also them.
The Lord said to Peter in (Luk.22:31) Simon, Simon, behold, Satan asked to have you, that he might sift you as wheat: (32) but I made supplication for thee, that thy faith fail not; and do thou, when once thou hast turned again, establish thy brethren. Satan asked to sift Peter, but why would God give any heed to what he asks unless it is for our good? If Peter had been like most people, he would ask, “Lord, why did you give Satan permission to have me? Just say, ‘No, Satan, you cannot have him.’” But Jesus knew that was not God’s Will.
God’s purpose is for Satan to get what belongs to him in our lives. The purpose of sifting is to separate and remove what you want. He keeps what is his. The Lord said, “The evil one cometh but he hath nothing in me.” Jesus was pure; there was nothing in Him that belonged to Satan. Satan is sifting to get what belongs to him. God only wants what is left. God could have destroyed him back at the beginning of the world but God ordained Satan for His good purpose. When God is through doing His whole work upon the people of God, guess what He is going to do with Satan, the demons, the wicked, the false prophet and the beast, too? That is right, the lake of fire.
Jesus set the sheep on His right hand and the goats on His left (Mat.25:33). That is exactly how God uses the righteous and the wicked, as His right hand and His left. His right hand is the vessels of honor, and His left hand is the vessels of dishonor. Satan is, in effect, one of God’s hands to create His sons. Let me share a dream from a close spiritual brother. He saw a line of the saints coming before Jesus in heaven. At Jesus’ left hand was Satan with an old-style cannon in front of him pointed at the first person in line. Satan with a lighter in his hand eagerly wanted to light the fuse on the cannon and blow them away. Jesus’ left hand was in front of Satan stopping him. From that dream, you can see that when the Lord moves His left hand, Satan moves.
Here is a clear case of that. (Job.1:8) And the Lord said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job? for there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and upright man, one that feareth God, and turneth away from evil. God brought Job to Satan’s attention and bragged about him. That is just like waving a red flag in a bull’s face. Satan did not want to hear that. In fact, Satan is trying to prove just the opposite to God. He is the accuser of the brethren. God inflicted Satan on Job by the power of suggestion. (9) Then Satan answered the Lord, and said, Doth Job fear God for nought? (10) Hast not thou made a hedge about him, and about his house, and about all that he hath, on every side? thou hast blessed the work of his hands, and his substance is increased in the land.
Satan is admitting he did not have the power to get at Job because of God’s hedge. The same is true of us. (11) But put forth thy hand now, and touch all that he hath, and he will renounce thee to thy face. (12) And the Lord said unto Satan, Behold, all that he hath is in thy power; only upon himself put not forth thy hand. So Satan went forth from the presence of the Lord. Satan suggests to God that He drop the hedge and put forth “His hand” against Job to try him. So why drop the hedge? It was not keeping God’s hand out unless you see that the left hand of the Lord was Satan! God confirms this by using the terms “in thy power” and “thy hand.”
Satan was the one who brought the Sabeans, the fire of God, the Chaldeans and the great wind from the wilderness against Job and his family to try him. Look at what Job said about it in verse (21) And he said, Naked came I out of my mother’s womb, and naked shall I return thither: the Lord gave, and the Lord hath taken away; blessed be the name of the Lord. (22) In all this Job sinned not, nor charged God foolishly. God says plainly here that Job was not sinning by attributing all this to Him. The Lord gave on the right hand, and the Lord took away on the left.
Some people would say that the Sabeans, Chaldeans, and the fire took everything away from Job. Some would look behind those and say that Satan did it. Then some would look a little further back and say that God did it. That is what Job did. That is what we have to do if we are to have the purpose of God fulfilled in our lives. We have to look all the way back and see God’s purpose in our lives. Job did not stumble because he understood that. Anyone who sees only the vessel will stumble. If we see only an evil vessel, we will end up fighting and wrestling with flesh and blood. Even though Job was hurting, in his spirit he had rest because he saw God’s purpose.
He goes on in (Job.2:3) And the Lord said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job? for there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and turneth away from evil: and he still holdeth fast his integrity (God was rubbing Satan’s nose in it.), although thou movedst me against him, to destroy him without cause. God appears to be using reverse psychology on Satan, letting him believe that he was moving God when it was the other way around. God was moved against Job, but Satan was the instrument.
It was God who pointed Job out to Satan in the first place in order to fulfill His own purpose. (4) And Satan answered the Lord, and said, Skin for skin, yea, all that a man hath will he give for his life. (5) But put forth thy hand now, and touch his bone and his flesh, and he will renounce thee to thy face. (6) And the Lord said unto Satan, Behold, he is in thy hand; only spare his life. God always laid down the conditions of Satan’s involvement even as he does today. (9) Then said his wife unto him, Dost thou still hold fast thine integrity? renounce God, and die. (10) But he said unto her, Thou speakest as one of the foolish women speaketh. What? shall we receive good at the hand of God, and shall we not receive evil? In all this did not Job sin with his lips.
God wanted to make it plain to us, using two witnesses, that what Job was saying was correct. Shall we receive good at the hand of God and not evil? Job never gave credit to Satan. He never even gave credit to the Sabeans, Chaldeans, or the wind from the wilderness. Job only looked at the primary purpose of God.
Jesus, in teaching us to cooperate with God’s purpose of crucifixion in our lives, said, “Resist not him that is evil,” speaking of men. However, we are commanded to, “Resist the devil,” speaking of evil spirits. We should never get caught up and wrestle with flesh and blood. Jesus would not. (Isa.53:7) He was oppressed, yet when he was afflicted he opened not his mouth; as a lamb that is led to the slaughter, and as a sheep that before its shearers is dumb, so he opened not his mouth. We are to wrestle with principalities and powers.
God wants us to see evil people as victims of Satan and the curse, vessels to be pitied. (Luk.23:34) And Jesus said, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do… God wants us to see through those vessels of evil and see Him. Jesus had peace because He knew all power comes from our sovereign God. (Joh.19:10) Pilate therefore saith unto him, Speakest thou not unto me? Knowest thou not that I have power to release thee, and have power to crucify thee? (11) Jesus answered him, Thou wouldest have no power against me, except it were given thee from above…
Eli rebuked his sons for their apostasy in (1Sa.2:24) Nay, my sons; for it is no good report that I hear: ye make the Lord’s people to transgress. (25)… Notwithstanding, they hearkened not unto the voice of their father, because the Lord was minded to slay them. The purpose of the Lord is ultimate. Many will not repent because it is in the mind of the Lord to slay them for their evil. We could justly receive the same treatment, but God gave us grace. (Eph.2:8) For by grace have ye been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, [it is] the gift of God. Only God gives the gift of faith to believe and repent. We have to go to God; He grants faith and repentance. True understanding of salvation by unmerited grace causes us to fear God.
Some do not value the gift of God only to have it taken away and given to ones who do value it. The Jews lost out to the Gentiles. Let no one take thy crown (Rev.3:11). The self-righteous flirt with catastrophe. (1Co.4:7) For who maketh thee to differ? and what hast thou that thou didst not receive? but if thou didst receive it, why dost thou glory as if thou hadst not received it? If we have anything more than our neighbor, it is a gift of God, not cause for pride.
