When speaking to people about the reality of the end times, in which Jesus prophesied would happen in Matthew's Gospel found in chapter 24. Most often than not, we have found them to be either quite disinterested or oblivious to the eminent and foreboding certainties that presently face our nation today. This vital issue is staring us in the face in our day and time as never before in the history since Christ spoke these words. These warnings have echoed throughout the ages of time regarding the end-time prophecy spoken of by inspiration by the prophets, and finally by our precious Lord Jesus Christ himself in foretelling and giving the warning of the impending evil and danger in the lack of preparation of the saints overall. We are living in the most significant era since the first coming of our Messiah. We are privileged to witness the fulfillment of the end-time prophecies that are happening all around us even as I speak to you today. These prophecies all point to the soon-coming return of our Lord Jesus Christ. We are definitely in these last days spoken of in God's holy word. Far too many Christians are ignorant about what is happening in the world these days because we have a biased news media in our nation who are not reporting the news as it happens, but instead are shaping it according to their own personal opinions and agendas for the sake of what is called the New World Order. The shaping up of these end-time events are hidden from many, but will catch them by surprise when the economic collapse finally comes, especially to America. Many nations have already financially collapsed. America has had to borrow money to stay afloat, but will eventually succumb to the prophesied superpower who will step into place and take control. The financial woes of our nation are teetering on the brink of collapse, as I have just stated. and what you have known as security and freedom in this nation will never be the same again. You must know if you have been paying attention, this plan has been strategically and systematically plotted and connived by those who are directing and coursing this nation and the whole world for that matter towards what is known as one world government and the one world church. For years this has been slowly planned out by a secret minority of the wealthy elite. These are those who are hungry for political power, money, and finally, a one-world religion, which excludes Christianity but includes only and totally satanic worship. This totally bespeaks of communism. The name of the secret organization is called the Illuminati. It is a Luciferian society of people who get their name from the former name of Satan. Lucifer was Satan before the Almighty Creator cast him out of heaven for his anarchy and planned to overthrow and steal the Almighty's throne of power. And this takeover plot has been going on from the very beginning, since it began with Satan the devil, who was, as I had said, called Lucifer. the most beautiful created being whose beauty corrupted his wisdom for the sake of his splendor. This is a battle between the light and darkness and dear church, you must remember that Jesus Christ has been given all power and authority in heaven, on the earth, and under the earth and in the end, this great battle between good and evil will finally see its end as the very one who is called the light of the world will defeat the evil one and his hordes of hell once and for all. They have only plotted in vain in the end. During the time when the apostles were beaten and told not to testify about the risen Lord, they returned to their people and in one accord, according to Acts 4, 24 through 26, they praised God saying, Lord you are God who made heaven and earth and the sea and all that is in them who by the mouth of your servant David had said why did the nations rage and the people plot in vain and the kings of the earth took their stand and the rulers were gathered together against the Lord and his Christ this plot between light and the darkness is prophesied to escalate into the greatest battle at the end of the age, and in case you didn't know it, we are in those days right now. Satan uses people to plot in vain. This very sin that he committed rages within those who have rebellious, prideful, and greedy agendas too, just as he did. Dear believer, we Christians stand on the precipice and brink of an unknown and uncertain direction. This nation and every other nation for that matter is currently faltering and wavering to keep their heads above the water. The United States of America has become highly secularized and is a nation ahead of all others who is big time promoting immorality in the world today. My Bible declares in Proverbs 28 verse 2, when there is moral rot within a nation, its government topples easily, but with honest, sensible leaders, there is stability. Part of the plan of this kind of new world order takeover was outlined by the Communist Manifesto written by Karl Marx, And this plan included points that must be followed in order to break a nation down before the takeover would occur. One is the abolishment of all personal property in land and utilization of all rents of land to public purposes. In other words, you will not be permitted to own your own property any longer, but you will pay rent to live where you live. 2. A heavy progressive or graduated income tax. We are seeing this as never before in our nation. 3. Abolition of all rights of inheritance. And this is presently happening and being worked out by this present administration. 4. Confiscation of the property of all immigrants and rebels. just like in other communist nations where if you don't agree with this system of government you are considered a rebel. 5. Centralization of credit in the hands of the state by means of a national bank with state capital and exclusive monopoly. If you haven't been paying attention the banking system in the United States is presently being brought into the place where this very plan is happening at breakneck speed. Six, centralization of the means of communication and transport in the hands of the state. As I had said earlier, the news media in this nation has been taken over by this beast system and this is why many millions of people will be absolutely shocked when this final crash and takeover comes to America. Number seven, extension of factories and instruments of production owned by the state, the bringing into cultivation, the wastelands, and the improvement of the soil generally in accordance with the common plan. This is currently one of the greatest battles in our nation presently. People are losing their land and water rights, and some of the greatest court battles are occurring in this nation over this fact. Number eight, equal liability of all to work. Establishment of industrial armies, especially for agriculture. No more private business. Everybody pulls their fair share by working for the government and then will have their food, their clothes, and little pay doled out to them if they comply with the New World Order system under this communistic regime. The army oversees all of the workers and has the right to eliminate those as they see fit. Number nine, combination of agriculture with manufacturing industries, gradual ablation of all distinction between town and country by a more equitable distribution of the populace over the country. And number ten, free education for all children in public schools, combination of education with industrial production. There will be no rights to homeschooling children any longer. This program is just like the days of Hitler when all the children were indoctrinated with the new world order under this man. Jesus said as one of the signs in these last days before he returns that we will see will be the increase of lawlessness. We are presently seeing this in our own nation today like we have never seen or experienced it before. Mobs of youth all over this nation are ganging up on people, old and young alike, and are beating and killing them unmercifully. Some of the end time signs spoken about in scripture tells us that when we see an increase of spiritual darkness happening in every nation, we will know that the end is near. Today children are murdering children. They are also murdering their parents and their teachers and anyone whom they disagree with. Jesus himself said that spiritual darkness will increase in every nation. And this is so prevalent in our nation alone with the increase of Satanism and other occultic practices and beliefs which have permeated our society from movies and books and games and the internet. Violence, sex and pornography are at the helm of all of these medias and are at an all-time high. This is the plan of the Illuminati in breaking down a society in order to take it over. There is a movement presently in this country to normalize or make pedophilia a right of sexual orientation. Pedophilia has always been a felony where an adult has had a sexual affair with a child or minor. Scientists today are trying to prove or maybe I should say manipulate the facts to show that child molesters are born this way in order to validate this sick plan to make it lawful for these abominable acts. Proverbs 28 verse 2 tells us when there is moral rot within a nation, its government topples easily, but with honest, sensible leaders, there is stability. We can see the heart and the direction of this present administration, of this nation, by using the propagation of sexual immorality to bring this republic to an end. Sin and darkness is presented as a norm rather than for what it truly is, and that is evil to the core and absolutely abominable in the eyes of the all-righteous and holy God. There will also be increased persecution of Christians and Jews worldwide. Never have we seen in our nation alone where our constitutional rights as Christians are being systematically stripped away, especially where evangelism is concerned. And this too is the plan of the Illuminati who are the Luciferian society who are pushing full steam ahead with their new world order plan. And we will see greater and increased apostasy and air rise in the church. it is presently appalling to see the degeneration of the church with the lack of integrity of leadership and also the lack of adherence to the pure and the unadulterated word of God. We see where so many church leaders who preach and teach the word of God take God's precious truths and mingle it with untruths and thus present a mix. And this is especially true within mega churches today. The prosperity gospel believers, denominations who have formed their own doctrinal heirs and mingled them with the truth of scripture such as the once saved, always saved belief and or all roads lead to heaven regardless of what faith you are and also believes with eastern mysticism, the Kabbalah and also teachings about angels are sweeping through the church as never before. Today people are believing a mix because the truth has now been watered down to where they become more and more tolerant of the world and its evils and then pretty soon you can't tell or see the difference between the world and God's holy people who are called the church. for instance God's people are insensitive to the truth and consequently there is a lack of true discernment at work in the hearts of the people who should be living and walking in the spirit the mix is more accepted and tolerated than the truth and anyone who speaks out about this is called religious or overreactive to the things that are now relevant to our times today, or they are said to be critical and are labeled as being judgmental. People begin to do and make decisions based on what they believe is right and good to do, regardless of what God's righteous word says we ought to do. The word of God is the light that lights our path. How can it be so if it is watered down and made ineffective by air and apostasy. Apostle Paul warned in 1 Timothy 4 verse 1 and 2, he says, but the Holy Spirit distinctly and expressly declares that in the latter times some will turn away from the faith giving attention to deluding and seducing spirits and doctrines that demons teach through the hypocrisy and pretensions of liars whose consciences are seared Other signs of the times that we are warned about is that there will be a worldwide economic crash and I touched on this earlier. This is presently happening not just in the United States, but in so many other nations because we are intricately tied together in our economic system. We are on the brink of total collapse. The scriptures in Daniel and Revelation speak prophetically about the beast, which is symbolically used to describe four political governmental systems which are identified as being cruel and tyrannical dictators in the areas of politics, finance, and the religious power that they wield. John in the book of Revelation saw the Antichrist arise out of this beast system he was shown this Antichrist dictator as having seven heads and ten horns and we can only conclude that this world system will be introduced and put into place by the beast who is the most powerful horn who will defeat the other nine nations and will begin to wage war against the Christians the final world government known today as the new world order will consist of ten entities represented by the ten toes of the statue that vision shows that whoever these ten are and however they come into power scripture clearly reveals that the beast will either destroy them or reduce their power to literally nothing to where they will only be figureheads and in the end will do nothing more than what the beast dictates to them to do to follow and carry out his plans and his orders. As I had said, this will usher in the prophesied, ruthless, and devious world dictator who will come up on the scene and deceive many. There will be a time when all nations will invade and come against Israel. We are seeing greater cataclysmic events such as severe weather and increasing of earthquakes and tornadoes and great and terrible signs from heaven such as huge meteorites falling from outer space. We are seeing evil and atrocious sins of society increase with unbelievable acceptance by people who call themselves Christians. and all of these signs and so many others will usher in the time that Jesus spoke about in Matthew 24 verse 21 which refers to the great tribulation. The amplified version says it this way for there will be a great tribulation affliction and distress and oppression such as not been from the beginning of the world until now no and never will be again. and if those days had not been shortened no human being would endure and survive but for the sake of the elect God's chosen ones those days will be shortened. All of these things must happen. Jesus said we would be hearing of wars and rumors of wars but these were not to frighten or trouble us because they must take place but the end is not yet. Read with me please in Matthew 24, verse 3. Matthew 24, verse 3. Again, I'm reading from the Amplified Version. While he was seated on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately and said, Tell us, when will this take place? And what will be the sign of your coming and of the end, the completion, the consummation of the age? Verse 4. Jesus answered them, Be careful that no one misleads you, deceiving you and leading you into air. For many will come in on the strength of my name, appropriating the name which belongs to me, saying, I am the Christ, the Messiah. And they will lead many astray. Verse 6. And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See to it that you're not frightened or troubled. For this must take place, but the end is not yet. for nation will rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in place after place. All this but is the beginning of the early pangs of the birth pangs of the intolerable anguish. Dear believer, we are living in the most significant era since the first advent of our precious Savior. Only those who walk near to the Father and His Son, Jesus Christ will live in holiness and live useful lives in serving him could even contemplate this most awful time ahead of us with joy. There are dark days ahead for our nation and for the whole world for that matter, but particularly as Christians we will face increasing persecutions and we need to set our hearts and minds on the eternal things. We must remember always that God holds all power and knows all things and is very concerned of what is happening in all segments of the world and society and not one thing escapes his notice. Psalms 2 says that God sits in the heavens and he laughs at the plotting and secret conspiracies of evil designs that the world's political leaders scheme up. Dear one, God isn't laughing because he doesn't care, but rather he smiles or laughs at their vain and futile attempts of building their own kingdoms and God knows their final end. Only God knows. And he steadily moves forward in the accomplishment of his own purposes and he may even use them and their evil schemes in the accomplishing of his own end. God laughs because he only has the wisdom and power to orchestrate all the evil of man and Satan to the triumph of his own perfect will and in the final outcome of human history. Let us understand. The final outcome which we are speaking about here is the second coming of Jesus Christ in all of his splendor and glory and majesty as he steps foot on Mount Zion. And finally the whole world will be flooded with peace and righteousness which the scriptures tell us will be as the waters cover the sea. Hallelujah. And before all of this happens though, scripture tells us that the church will be raptured before the great tribulation and the millennial kingdom comes. God's word tells us in Matthew 25 verse 13 that we cannot know the time of the coming of his son for the second time, but we can know the season of his return. And 1 Thessalonians 5.2 tells us, for you yourselves know perfectly the day of the Lord. So he comes as a thief in the night, for when they say peace and safety, then suddenly destruction comes upon them as labor pains come upon a pregnant woman and they shall not escape. What we do know for sure is that Jesus will come like a thief in the night. You see, this will be true for those who do not know Christ, but this won't be so for those who do know him. True believers who live close to God are aware of the signs of his return, and it will not be a surprise to them because they have the indwelling of the Holy Spirit who alerts and gives them understanding and warning of the nature of the times. Just as in the days when the God of Judah was going to destroy the city of Nineveh, scripture tells us that it was so because he was angry at the sin of the people. The stench of sin had finally reached the throne of God and he said this is enough. And Nahum 1 verse 2 tells us that God is a jealous God and he avenges those who plot against him and his treasured possession. The Amplified Bible reports Nahum 1 verse 2 to say the Lord is a jealous God and avenging and the Lord avenges and he is full of wrath. The Lord takes vengeance upon his adversaries and reserves wrath for his enemies. The Lord is slow to anger and great in power and will by no means clear the guilty. The Lord has his way in the whirlwind and in the storm and the clouds are the dust of his feet. When God says enough is enough he will then project and execute his judgment against a nation and no one can stand up against him. Any fight against the great creator will be futile. Though today we have great schemes by a group of evil people occurring at this very moment to usher in what they have long been awaiting and that is a one world government and a one world church. Looking in Daniel 7.23 the New International Version tells us that the prophet declared he gave me this explanation the fourth beast is a fourth kingdom that will appear on the earth and it will be different from the other kingdoms and will devour the whole earth trampling it down and crushing it and the ten horns are ten kings who will come from this kingdom after them another king will arise different from the earlier ones He will subdue three kings. He will speak against the Most High and oppress his saints and try to change the set times and the laws. The saints will be handed over to him for a time, times, and half a time. Well, there are many other scriptures which show the final takeover. But by these scriptures in Daniel, we can see the end-time prophecy unfold and the Antichrist, who is the final adversary, he will rise up against God himself and take his seat in the temple of God, proclaiming that he himself is God. 2 Thessalonians 2 verse 4 declares, Who opposes and exalts himself so proudly and insolently against and over all that is called God or that is worshipped even to his actually taking his seat in the temple of God, proclaiming that he himself is God. We do know that there will be a great battle and the Antichrist and those associated with him will rise up against God's people and against God himself. After the formation of this one world government the Bible tells us that the world government will be split into ten kingdoms or regions and this sets the stage then for the rise of the Antichrist or the man of sin to take his place, the Antichrist will be the most wicked individual to have ever lived because he will be indwelt by Satan himself. To show the unity of those who are entwined in this new world order agenda, they have signs that they blatantly flash back and forth to one another and also to the world for that matter to show which God they serve. 2 Corinthians 2.11 declares, And this is why you personally should be aware of what is happening in the world today in the areas of religion and politics and finally the financial status of this nation. You should not be ignorant of the wiles and the intentions of Satan as the New World Order is being set up. There are two signs the Luciferian New World Order people use most commonly, but there are many different signs which designate and identify the political leaders in the world, the false leaders in the church, and also those who belong to Satan's religious system of death. These are the two signs most commonly used. You may have seen people flashing these signs, but didn't know what they meant. And you will see them on clothing. Even Christian young people will intentionally wear them on their jewelry and body tattoos. They wear them because they are popular signs of today. Unfortunately, many parents are ignorant of this fact and cause. There are true demonic powers in these signs and many people both in the world and unfortunately in the church have sold out to Satan for this power. Here are a few of the many people flashing the Luciferian occult sign who belong to the world. They have sold out to the devil for fame, fortune, power and money. here are a few whom you must judge in the church understand this is no accusation against these people but you personally must judge these things to see if these people's ministry their action, words and deeds line up with Holy Scripture 1 Corinthians 5 12 declares what business is it of mine to judge those outside the church. Are you not to judge those inside? God will judge those outside. Expel the wicked man from among you. As I was researching on the net concerning this particular subject, the Luciferian sign, I was appalled to see those who profess to be Christians and leaders alike in the church giving this satanic sign. I suggest you do your own research on this subject and the New World in order to see for yourself what is happening in our beautiful nation to bring it down. Not to make some kind of judgment in regards to people's words, deeds and actions which defy the truth would be like sticking your head in a hole because you refuse to use the godly discernment which comes from knowing the truth. Don't forget, knowing the truth will set you free. Jesus has given us many signs that will signal the time when he is ready to return to the earth. These are just some of the signs that we are to watch for. Darkness and evil will increase in these last days. Paul in his epistle of Hebrews 10 gives us the exhortation which pertains to this end judgment He says we should encourage one another when we see the day of judgment drawing near The false church will continue to grow more evil. Remember, in 1 Thessalonians 5, the word says that true believers who are obedient and submit to Christ's commands are not to fear or worry on the day of the Lord who will come as a thief in the night because God has not destined us for wrath in the judgment but rather he has destined us for salvation. Hallelujah! And this is still very sobering and serious. Jesus referred to the signs of the end times in both Matthew and Luke when he was speaking of the whole series of the signs when he said, when you see all these things recognize that the Son of Man that is Jesus is near and he's right at the door dear believer I think that we should know today at this very moment that Jesus is no longer standing at the door but he has moved through the door and time is very short before the rapture and his second coming God is showing young and old alike through dreams and visions and many of the things yet that are to come in Joel 2.28 oh you've heard this scripture many times and the word declares I will pour out my spirit on all people and your sons and daughters will prophesy your old men will dream dreams your young men will see visions and even on my servants both men and women I will pour out my spirit in those days and I will show wonders in the heavens and on the earth blood and fire and billows of smoke the sun will be turned to darkness and the moon to blood before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord. There are many in various denominations who mock and make light of this very word. They say these things do not happen today and these people who are receiving dreams and visions and prophecies are being influenced by Satan the devil. Oh, I say, what blasphemy! To say something is not of the Holy Spirit when it is of him is considered blasphemy against him. In the book of Revelation 3.16, Jesus is addressing the Laodicea church saying, So because you are lukewarm and neither cold nor hot, I will spew you out of my mouth. For you say, I am rich, I have prospered and grown wealthy, and I am in need of nothing. And you do not realize and understand that you are wretched, pitiful, poor, blind, and naked. this is the very purpose of this word today this is one of those last day warnings being trumpeted to say prepare yourselves because Jesus Christ is on the way and he's not coming for those who are acting like little children this word and message carries with it the God given insight as to the personal preparation which is crucial and requisite to all who will have ears to hear in order to ensure their own salvation and survival during these turbulent next few years before the horrible and great tribulation comes suddenly upon the whole face of the earth. God is revealing his end time prophecies for those who know him as Lord and Master. Jesus says in John 13 verse 19, Behold the former things have come to pass and the new things I declare and before they spring forth, I will tell you of them. Now listen. In the word we have just read, Jesus said, I will spew you out of my mouth because you are lukewarm. These people were invited to turn from their indifference. Jesus was standing at the door of their hearts, waiting for them to open the door of their hearts to him. You see, the door of your heart can only be opened from the inside. you must desire to know him these people thought they had prospered and were wealthy but Jesus says you do not realize that you are wretched pitiable, poor, blind and naked in other words they were dwarfed and stunted in their spiritual growth and were like little children when they should have grown into full adulthood or manhood by this time and this is why he said I will spew you out of my mouth because you are lukewarm. Not too long ago, the Lord gave me a profound, frightening, and very real dream that describes the scripture in a vivid and stirring way. In the dream, I saw a woman with her children. The children were young people in their teens. They were not little children. They reported to the mother about something that was happening down the street, and evidently it was pretty serious because she immediately set out with something in her arms like a bag filled with something pertinent to address the critical situation at hand. She was a proper matronly looking woman. I saw her walking briskly along a sidewalk next to a well-built brick wall that you might see around a huge estate or mansion. As she was walking, I was like a seer in the dream. as she was approaching the area of her destination she began to walk up an incline and it seemed that as she came to the top of the hill I suddenly saw a sight that was truly a sight to behold I saw a huge gigantic ship that you might see in the early days it might have been a Spanish ship but it had large sails there were many sails so many sails that it would blow your mind especially if you were a sailor. As I was following this woman, I suddenly began to rise above her and felt like I was being taken up in the spirit. I slowly went higher in the air and I rose higher and higher and could see clearly the full view of the ship now. I can tell you that this ship was so large and so big and so massive that it took my breath away even in the dream. And I'm thinking, what is this all about? Only in a dream could something possibly be as large as this, except possibly the ark that Noah had built. I don't know. As I was being taken up in the spirit above the ship, I could hear the sound of little children playing on the ship. And somehow in the dream, I knew this was a children's play thing. It belonged to the little children. in the next scene I was taken above and beyond the ship and rose higher into the atmosphere above what seemed like the earth's orbit I saw a massive cloud that was almost indescribable in its vastness and size and this cloud was almost like something that you might see in the graphic of one of the layers of the earth this cloud was like that it was like seeing a cut out of something specific Then suddenly I was taken alongside this layer of angry massive formation, which was so unbelievable and very frightening to see. The cloud was living and vibrant and it was ever-changing in its formation and the power that was contained within it was unbelievable. And I saw things coming out of this angry formation like being spewed out. I saw so many things being spewed out like you might see in the eruption of a volcano. And only the things coming out of this mass was not lava, but the power it contained was as powerful as a volcano or could even be likened to the powerful energy of the sun that we have seen in videos that show up-close action of the mighty, indescribable power contained within the sun. the video shows that the sun is spewing out energy and masses of what look like molten lava but we know that it is the intense heat that bursts beyond the circumference of the body of the sun this intense indescribable heat and power comes from the core of the sun's interior what I saw being spewed out of this angry mass of cloud formation were bodies yes I said I saw bodies being spewed out as these bodies were spit out of this cloud formation I saw the force of their being spewed out was in such an explosive manner that it caused their limbs to go flying off into all directions opposite of their bodies and the belongings of these people were being spit out as well with just as much intense force as their bodies were being spit out. I gasp in horror after being taken parallel along this cloud for such a long distance to see and be shown a sight that I am sure must have dwarfed what Daniel saw as he grew faint and weak at the horror of what he was shown in the last days of what was to come. Well, if that was not enough, Then I found myself as though I were below the surface of the earth. I was down, looking up at what appeared to be an opening of a large and vast chasm. This sight was equally as terrifying. I saw bodies falling into the chasm, and the noise and the sound of this horrible sight was blood-chilling. I felt like I might have been seeing how it could have possibly looked when the ground was opened up and Korah and his family fell into the grave of hell that they had won for themselves by lying and rebelling against God and his authoritative standards. In the dream, I shook myself to wake up because what I was seeing was so horrible and terrifying and awful. as I shook myself to wake up. I did wake up and I said, Oh God, forgive me if this dream is from you and you had more to show me. But if this dream was not from you, then, oh Lord, I have just had a horrible nightmare. As I was sharing the dream with my husband Lee and telling him what I shared with you just now, I said, Lee, it is just like in the scripture in Revelation 3.15 that says, I know the record of your works and what you are doing. You are neither cold nor hot. Would be that you were cold or hot. So because you are lukewarm, neither cold nor hot, I will spew you out of my mouth. For you say I am rich. I have prospered and grown wealthy. I am in need of nothing. And you do not realize and understand that you are wretched, pitiful, poor, blind, and naked. As I spoke to Lee, the Spirit of the Lord spoke clearly to me and witness his presence to both of us. The Holy Spirit said, even if you were to tell them the truth of what I have shown you, the majority will still not believe you. And what the Lord has shown in his righteous justice and judgment in people being spewed out of his presence were multiple and millions of Christians who did not take him serious nor his ways while they had opportunity on this earth. the unbelievable massive ship represents the church in her generations of time and even today the leaders and captains who are called apostles and prophets and evangelists, pastors and teachers those who represent the church in leadership are those on this ship who have acted like little children by making up their own rules based on their natural instinct mixing the word of God not taking God-given discernment that comes and arises out of growing in the fullness of maturity in the place of union and fellowship with God and His Word. You know, we talk about life in the Spirit or walking in the Spirit, but for most, this is all talk and the fruit does not back up the conversation. But the mature ones know clearly what God says in His Word and they hold it in high esteem and will not compromise or water it down to make people feel good and give them warm fuzzies about themselves. And this is why they are called the faithful ones and will receive an overcomer's crown and a robe of righteousness. They are considered and represent the hundredfold in the casting of the good seed that took root in Jesus' parable of the sower or are called the fathers in 1 John 2 where he speaks to the three distinct groups of people, that is, to the fathers, the boys, or the lads, and finally, to the little children. The upright matronly woman in this dream represents the segment of the righteous leadership in the church. She, the woman, does not represent the feminine gender only, but represents both male and female leadership who will step out and address and correct and expose the air in the church even when it's not a popular thing to do. Her teenage children represent those members of the church who are 60-fold in spiritual maturity and understanding and growth. They are young adults or as John called them, boys and lads. They comprehend the difference between right and wrong in the natural, but also have been given discernment to no spiritual warfare which the enemy so cleverly schemes and devises. This dream is a serious warning to the church. God is getting ready to spew many out of his mouth because they have been living like Korah and his family. When members of Christ's body choose to vote for a candidate, the lesser of two evils, whose agendas promote abortion, he or she is guilty of murder right alongside of the one who boasts of the number of 53 million aborted babies saying how proud he is of this accomplishment in America. God will spew you out of his mouth too. His judgment is on the way. Make no mistake about it. Those who vote for candidates who promote homosexual lifestyles and the sick and nauseating introduction of bestiality being taught in kindergarten classrooms, God will spew you out of his mouth too. these are all symptoms of the degeneracy of the church to be spewed out of the lord's mouth is a heavy charge that is drawn up against church leadership and the people by the one who knows them better than they know themselves and the judgment of god has reached its peak and he will hold it back no longer severe punishment is promised and god has become sick of these and He cannot bear them any longer. And this is what this dream showed, dear church. This is one of the great final realities of the last days. Many will be rejected because of indifference and inconsistency in caring for their souls and living righteously These people fought themselves to be rich but in fact they were dwarfed in their spiritual growth They were full of pride They had neglected caring for the requirements of their soul's growth and change. And these people in the church of Laodicea thought they were well equipped. They had knowledge, but they took the knowledge that they had rattling around in their heads to be their faith. They had gifts, and they took their gifts to be a sign that God approved of their error and rebellion. They had perception or common sense, but they took it for true wisdom. They had the precepts and the commands of the Lord, but they held these closer than they did the God who issued these commands and ways. These people actually cheated themselves out of God and his son Jesus Christ in eternal life by preferring to live in the darkness. They deceive themselves right into the lake of eternal death. You see, sin invites God's judgment according to Proverbs 127 which declares when your panic comes as a storm and a desolation and your calamity comes as a whirlwind and distress and anguish come upon you. Verse 28 then will they call upon me wisdom but I will not answer they will seek me early and diligently but they will not find me you see trouble, anxiety and stress is all that is left for all the inhabitants of the earth God's divine judgment according to his word is in the whirlwind just as we saw in this dream which I have just previously shared with you It is speaking of this last day judgment that is coming upon the household of God and finally then to the entire world. This again is the final reality of the last days in which we presently live. The righteous will barely escape, the word says. We should not be surprised, dear ones, when we suffer for our faith. Remember, God is in charge, and he sits above the circle of the earth and holds all power and authority over all things. He will direct the course of the world in the way that he wants it to go, and you must be at peace with that. And finally, I would like to say the most important preparation that you need to make in these last days is that of tending to your own soul. Jesus tells us in Matthew 24 verse 4 what we must do as part of our preparation at this time. He says, Our precious Savior is telling us that we must watch, wait, and work. we are to be watchful over our souls by living righteous and holy lives and also it is important to keep in step with the news in order to know what is going on in the world and also to keep events, people and the church in prayer we are to remain faithful stewards until Christ returns for us our weight must be with patience and peace not anxiety and fear we must strive for perfection better called maturity, as our blessed hope is anchored in our precious Savior. May God have mercy upon us all, and let us all remain faithful to the end. And this is what God is looking for in all of us. All of these things must happen before Christ's return, dear church. Only true and faithful Christians will be raptured off the face of the earth before Jesus comes the second time, while remaining multitudes of millions will suffer and die a horrible death in the great tribulation. To be spewed out of the Lord's mouth, as he showed in the book of Revelation and in my recent dream, is very real. It is very real, dear believer. Seek only the unadulterated truth of the living God and do not believe the mix that many are offering these days. This mix is a part of Satan's beast system. Choose life and not death, and surely you will live forever in the Father's eternal kingdom of love, in his joy and his peace forever. The choice is yours. The choice is all yours. Thank you. As I was seeking the Lord for a word to bring you today, I kept hearing what I believed the Lord to say. Sound the trumpet of the forthcoming times and warn my people to be ready for these days. And give them hope for their future in the promises I have already given. So that they do not become weary of well-doing and neglect their duties and responsibilities to me. So out of obedience to the Holy Spirit and my Lord Jesus Christ, I am going to bring you a word that is vital to the body of Christ. It is a wake-up call for many of us. As Christians, it is important to our physical well-being, but mostly it is vital for our spiritual well-being. Let's open our Bibles and begin to read in Acts 2.16. Acts 2.16. But this is what was spoken of by the prophet Joel. blood and fire and vapor of smoke, the sun shall turn into darkness and the moon into blood before the coming of the great and awesome day of the Lord. Well, these scriptures are talking about the last day harvest. Yes, there is going to be a great move of God. But verse 20 says that after God pours out his spirit, the sun shall be turned into darkness before the coming of the great and awful day of the Lord. Where and how do you and I fit into God's scheme of things in these days that many are calling the last days? These days will be all about Jesus Christ and about its coming in all power, in all glory with the armies of heaven riding with him. Jesus Christ is coming for his bride. I ask you today, are you personally preparing for that day? Scripture declares, the Holy Spirit says, today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts as you did in the rebellion during the time of testing in the desert. What a warning to us all. We're living in the days where there is much apostasy in the church. I hope you heard that with the urgency in which I said it. We are living in days today, right now, where there is much apostasy that is permeating the church, dear ones. We have gotten away from the simple foundational truths and principles of God's word, which leads us into the meat and the very depth of Christ's mysteries and secrets through the revelation of precious Holy Spirit spoken of in Paul's prayer in Ephesians 1.17. There is a present move in the church which is affecting many, many unsuspecting and ignorant and uninformed Christians under the guise of an apostolic reformation. These people use buzzwords like DNA, dominion, God's chosen ones, seven mountain theories, and their interest in New Age religion is extended along with unusual and much conversation about angels and so on. They believe that God lost control of the earth in the Garden of Eden to Satan when our first parents sinned. And their belief is that the church must rise up and take it back and put the enemies of God under their feet. This is totally contrary to God's word. Jesus declares throughout the New Testament that he has been given all power and all authority by his Father in heaven. Paul's epistle in 1 Corinthians 15, 24 declares, after the end comes, the completion of time, When he, Jesus, delivers over the kingdom of God to the Father. Hear that. Jesus delivers the kingdom to God the Father after rendering inoperative and abolishing every other rule and authority and power. For Christ must be king and reign until he has put all of his enemies under his feet. so we see who has been given all power all authority and who will put what under his feet you see this group of apostles have formed strategies and plans and have appointed individual territories and subsequent authority over these cities and states they believe that they must take over the world for Christ. And to do this, they take over their homes, the church, schools, government and policies, the media, arts and entertainment, and sports, and finally commerce, science and technology. They believe that until they conquer this earth, Jesus cannot come back, and he's held in heaven until they do. This move has claimed over 100 million Christians around the world at this present time. And it is highly organized. And their intent is to take over the world for Christ, they say. We also live in a day and time where we have as a church set a whole raft of records. I don't believe that we have seen since the 1500s records be set for the most financially corrupt age in the church as we have it today. There was an error or age in the church where you could have your sins erased out of God's ledgers for cash. We don't do that today. But with our setting up ATM machines in our churches between the pews to provide convenience for our churchgoers, our mass mailings, business reply envelopes, four-colored brochures, professional mass marketing and fundraising campaigns, and sermons on stewardship, the pastor has already become one of the best marketing specialists and promoters that puts the world to shame. The world even comes to the church to see how we do it. And we say, it is God. Many of these Christian leaders live in a materialistic world and comfortable mansions ranging from one to three million dollars and have no shame in their extravagant way of living. But we have more and more men and women walking the earth today with doctorates in theology than any other age of time. And there are endless reams of papers and books written on endless varieties of subjects. An age that produces men and women who deliver mind-boggling sermons on the how-to doctrines of prayer or how to live this Christian way of life and how to know God, how to worship God, but yet know very little of its deeper experiences for themselves. we live in an age where a great many of the people in the church and its leaders really do not know jesus christ in a real and deep and intimate way for many their lives behind the pulpit and what they preach is contrary to their secret way of life which god exposes in its proper time Reverential and obedient fear of the Lord is a lost path for a great majority. And we as the church talk about chasing God and being God lovers and being passionate about Christ and have written many books on these subjects, but have only produced sterile, sophisticated and passionate gestures towards God who know very little of Jesus Christ in death. we as a church seem to look for the gifts and the anointing and run somewhere for the presence of God. We seem to want to run somewhere to have hands laid on us so that some kind of ministry or gift that will be imparted to us instead of looking for the one and the only gift that God gave to the world, and that is the Son, Jesus Christ. We seem to want to run quickly to the altar to receive a blessing instead of the one who blesses us. We've gotten so far away from the true mission and purpose of the church, and that is to point people to Jesus Christ. Instead, we draw them to all the activities and the galas that will keep them entertained and feeling good about church. This approach to church doesn't provide the loving care and nourishment that God intended for his leaders to carefully equip and build up his precious church. Now, having given you some of the real and raw facts and conditions of the church today, I ask you, what are you doing to prepare yourselves for these days that lie right ahead of us. I'm sure most of you are aware the condition of the world today. America is a nation who is dying in her sleep. Our United States of America stands on the brink of going broke and also is faced with a battle for her freedom as a nation under God, as the war is on to make her come under the banner of socialism and next-step communism. Our Christian freedoms and God-given rights, according to the Constitution, are hard fought for as the war wages on. And never have we in the United States of America been faced with such challenges as we are faced with today. We could easily
At any given moment today, be like Pakistan, without food, medical help, and all the necessities of life. Our brothers and sisters in the Lord there and many pastors and church leaders say that they had lost everything, including the seed to plant next year's crop. They have no food, no clothing, no shelter. And as I said in a moment, we too could be there because of lack of true leadership in our nation. These precious people live in a nation where living out their Christian faith is very difficult because it is a Muslim nation. And these people were told during this disaster in Pakistan that if they would convert to the Muslim faith, they would be given provision. but they refuse and instead go without food, without clothing or shelter because they refuse to renounce Jesus Christ. Dear ones, what can we look forward to in this time? What promises do we have? There is a prophesied time to come that scriptures call a great falling away that will occur during the last days. Over 12 years ago, an article in a leading Christian magazine stated that over the last 10 years at that time, 112 million Christians in the United States have left the church and are wandering around. And since that date, it is now 22 years later. How long is long in God's time frame? When will Christ return? I don't know, and you don't know either. But we have warnings in Scripture that tell us to be ready at all times, because Jesus will come like a thief in the night. We have the warning as well in 2 Thessalonians 2.3, which declares, Let no one deceive or beguile you in any way, for that day will not come except the apostasy comes first, unless the predicted great falling away of those who have professed to be Christians has come. We know according to the book of Matthew 24, where it speaks about the terrible time of tribulation in the end times, that there will be earthquakes, natural disasters, and so on, besides the great falling away, that these signs and happenings indicate the return of Jesus Christ. As we have discussed, there is a great apostasy being set up. And I might add that it is not including only one segment of the church, but it is crossing all denominational lines. It began with the Pentecostal and or charismatic denomination first, and then and now is spilling over into others with their agreement and consent to lead their flocks in the same direction. Will you be one of those in these end times whom God will not pass over as he passes out the gift of ministry and anointing to be effective in the last day harvest? The book of Matthew 24 speaks about these last days and the great harvest that will take place. Matthew 24, verse 11. And many false prophets will rise up and deceive and lead many into error. And the love of the great body of people will grow cold because of the multiplied lawlessness and iniquity. But he who endures to the end will be saved. and this good news of the kingdom, the gospel, will be preached throughout the whole world as a testimony to all nations and then will the end come. How can we be sure that we are in God's will and will be included as one of those who will be instrumental in bringing in the lost and equipping them in this great harvest if we should live until that time? Look with me, please, in Ephesians 1.3. Jesus Christ, in accordance with his pleasure and will, to the praise of his glorious grace, which he has freely given us in the one he loves. Verse 7. In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins in accordance with the riches of God's grace that he lavished on us with all wisdom and understanding. He has made known to us the mysteries of his will according to his good pleasure, which he purposed in Christ, to be put into effect when the times will have reached their fulfillment, to bring all things in heaven and on the earth under one head, even Christ. Verse 11. In him we were also chosen, having been predestined according to the plan of him who works everything out in conformity to the purpose of his will, that we who are the first to hope in Christ might be for the praise of his glory. Did you know that these verses are declaring that you and I were chosen by the Father in the past, long before the creation of the world? And that means that the Father saw you and me before we even existed. He loved you, dear one, when you existed only in his eternal idea. What love he has for you. This great love of God was all the while reaching through the eternal ages of time, never once lessening or wavering until he laid a hold of you and redeemed you by his son's precious blood for such a time as this. Chosen by the father in the past and redeemed by the son in the present. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. God chose us for salvation and sanctification before the foundation of the world to make us in his image and likeness and has presently given us every spiritual blessing in the heavenly realm. Verse 4 says that while he himself was in the planning stage, he had chosen us in him. He predestined us before the foundation of the world that we should be holy and without blame before him in love. All of this springs from the infinite love of God's nature because he loves us. I don't know about you but this thrills me and excites my spirit and because of the reality of his truth the Holy Spirit begins to witness the revelation of this as a truism which is more real than life itself God loves me he chose me and he predestined and adopted and called me he has washed me free from my sins and in his own blood to be holy and blameless in his sight And he has a plan for my life. He has a plan for your life, too, as you live in Jesus Christ, his son. These things will only happen, dear ones, as we truly live in Christ. And if you don't understand what living in Christ really means, then please do your homework and be a good student of the word. Jesus Christ is the head of his precious church, and he shall have the bride whom he died for because he had a promise from his father. Apostle Paul, in these scriptures that we have just read, prayed and thanked God for the people. He prayed that God would show them just who Christ really is and what he has really done for them and what he has provided for them. and most importantly, who they are in him. Dear ones, we are the body of Jesus Christ, the only true and living God. We are in covenant with him and each other. We are in a new gospel era. And we need to understand truly the verse in Ephesians 1. Typically, when people hear that God has predestined them, They first think about the work that he has for them to do. They think about the action or the doing before the conforming. And mistakenly, many ignorant Christians run out to do something for God, even if it's wrong. I call it putting the cart in front of the horse. Instead, they need to reread these verses and see first things first. God called us, chose us, predestined us. He elected us to first be made in his image and likeness according to his plan. He works out everything in our conformity to the purpose of his will, that we might be for the praise of his glory, that we might be truly, true worshipers of him. This will never happen, precious ones, if you never sit at your master's feet. and neither can you know his plan or will for your life if you never sit long enough for the wonderful work of conformity or sanctification to take place. You will never learn to hear his sweet and tender voice. Sitting at his feet does not speak about passivity. Quite the contrary. Paul said to Timothy, Son, study to show yourself approved of God. I believe we can really see the parable of the ten virgins here. There was a time when they were all asleep. But the difference is, when the call came, that clarion call, the five wise virgins kept their lamps full, and they had extra reserve of oil on hand. Keeping our lamps full signifies the pure light of Jesus Christ It causes the light of holiness to shine forth from us. Holiness represents the beauty of the Lord. And this is called the truth. The oil represents the Holy Spirit's presence and anointing. The oil typifies the Spirit's wisdom and righteousness. Everything of the Spirit points and directs us to Jesus Christ. And God will use people like this. As your soul dies to its own fleshly desires and turns itself humbly to obey the great and living God because of deep love and respect for him, then the light of God's holy conformity in your life is kindled and becomes radiant and it shines forth before God and men to accomplish what it is purposed to do. This is a wise place to be now in this present moment. And not only that, it will last into eternity and provide you a place at the bridegroom's table at the marriage supper of the Lamb. This is what we are predestined to become, the bride of Christ. This is why we were called and chosen. We are to be a reflection of him. We've been called to be holy in our conduct. the ultimate goal of our election is that we might bring praise and glory to God and be known as true worshipers of God. Jesus saw you first in his eternal idea before the ages of time began. And then he reached through the eons of time, never once wavering, never once lessening his determination until the moment that he caught your attention. and gave you the unction in your spirit that you needed his son, Jesus Christ, and he laid a hold of you. He saw you as part of the bride whom he loves very much. But Jesus will not marry anyone who does not really love him. The most wonderful love story of this quest to the father to find a bride for his son is found in Genesis 24.1 in the account of Abraham, calling his trusted servant, Eleazar, who is representative of the Holy Spirit, who went searching for a bride for his son, Isaac, who is representative of Jesus Christ himself. And these scriptures tell us when Eleazar found Rebecca, he described her as very beautiful and attractive. She was chaste and very modest. and this is the kind of bride that Jesus Christ will have. She will be beautiful in his holiness. She will be chaste and she will be modest, not in dress and demeanor only, but also in her inner thought life and the way that she expresses herself in her outward conversations. This servant, once he knew that Rebecca was the one chosen for Isaac's bride, he lavished her with gifts. And then he asked her parents for her hand in marriage on behalf of his master's son. The key to this whole story that we are discussing lies hidden in verse 58 of this chapter. And it is when Rebecca's family asked her, Are you willing to go with this man? And she answered, Yes, I will go. dear ones when you accepted Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior you not only received the best gift ever but you made a commitment to follow him you received the clarion call to come forth out of the darkness and follow the lamb wherever he goes me too and the Holy Spirit just like Eleazar lavishes God's elect with gifts and promises and blessings. And the love story between Isaac and Rebekah is wonderfully profound. The love that they had for each other is the kind of love that Jesus Christ has for his bride. She follows him because she loves him dearly. And he jealously protects her. You were asked from the beginning of your call, your invitation to come to Christ. Will you go with this man? I ask you, have you been following the lover of your soul, your bridegroom, with a burning love for him and a passion that is full of hunger and thirst that will not rest or be quenched? Song of Songs. Chapter 1, verse 4. Her lover, draw me after you. We will run after you. The king has brought me into his chambers. We will rejoice in you and be glad. We will extol your love more than wine. The upright love you. The maiden in Song of Songs says, we will run after you. Once the love for her, her lover was awakened in her inmost being, her spirit and soul is the we. They desired his righteousness and love more than anything else. And she ran after him. Another place in this book, she says in Psalms 5.8, if you find my beloved, tell him that I am sick from love, simply sick with longing to be with him. Do you long for his righteousness and justice in your life more than anything else? Do you have this longing in your heart to be alone with your Jesus, just to spend time with him in fellowship? His justice is his correction. The Lord disciplines those whom he loves. And these kinds of people are very teachable. They learn to love the rebuke of the Lord. And you see, God will use people like this to impact his kingdom for Christ's sake. People like this, who have a constant and continuous ardent zeal for the lover of their soul, will not have to worry about being deceived or falling away into air in these days that lie ahead, because they have been like young Timothy, who have taken the word serious and studied to show themselves approved by God and are prepared for what may come. These have learned to walk in the Spirit and are growing in maturity and quickly discern the holy from the profane and will not compromise their place of standing in Christ. God will use willing vessels like this to touch people right around them. And there is such a need in the world today, precious ones. We don't have to have a worldwide known ministry to be effective for Christ's kingdom. We just need to have a deep love for Jesus Christ and his father and be obedient to do what we know we should do. Fellowship with your creator is the most important thing in yours and my life right now at this time. and developing an intimate fellowship with Jesus Christ through his Holy Spirit will usher in every promise, blessing intended for this earth life and will also open every door to ministry that God has for you to do. With this kind of relationship with God, he can trust you with the greater things. The bride is the one who truly loves the lover of her soul. will you tarry for him while you tarry will you keep your lamp full when peter gave the scripture in acts 2 17 about the spirit being poured out there were initially 500 who were waiting for it to happen but only 120 tarried for it and once the spirit was poured out peter then connected it to repentance for those who would then afterwards receive it. When the crowd asked Peter what they must do to be saved, Peter said, repent and be baptized, everyone, in the name of Jesus Christ. It's still the same today. Those who repent and tarry for the Lord to fulfill his good work in them while he prepares them for the work ahead will be involved in this promised end-time ministry that we read about in the book of Isaiah, in Daniel, the gospel of Matthew, the book of Acts, the book of Revelation. As was stated, we are in a new gospel era where this prophecy is slated to happen in great magnitude as such as the world has never seen before. What things at this time are you holding on to that prevent you from coming into a deeper experience with your Christ? I ask you, are you willing to tarry for Jesus, precious one? Is serving Jesus weighty upon your heart? Do you long to see the loss brought into the fold of the Father? How do you and will you fit into God's eternal plan? Prophetically, do you know what God has purposed for you to do specifically to impact his kingdom? Since predestination stands closely connected with the sovereignty of God, could you at this present moment be standing on the threshold of a Kairos moment in your life? where eternity and your reason for being meet and intercept for such a time as this, just as it did, for example, with Moses or Daniel or Paul, JL, Deborah or Esther, who was born for such a time as this? Are you walking in that call now to some degree or extent, even though you are still in the making and molding of the Lord's good work in you? Do you need a paradigm shift or a course correction to get outside your box and let Christ be Christ in your life? You know, we're talking as well here in certain terms that the Bible describes as making your calling in election sure. Predestination speaks about the fullness of time or the appointed time. Predestination and election seem to go hand in hand. And I want to give you encouragement in what you can do in a focus and preparation for being in the will of God and walking in his spirit for such a ti
