THE COMING WORLD-WIDE REVIVAL!!!
These horrible, horrible statistics WILL NOT CHANGE, unless a great cataclysmic, earth shaking out-pouring and bestowal of glory and might and miracle power is mightily poured out in a world-wide avalanche of God’s Presence!!! Please notice: As the fulfillment of the Feast of Pentecost brought the “Early Rain” and the “First Fruits” and the “Former Glory”, so the Feast of Tabernacles brings the promise of the “Latter Rain”, the “Out-pouring of Glory”, and, the “End Time Harvest of the Ages!!!”
Pentecost celebrated the spring-time first fruits harvest. Tabernacles is a Fall Harvest of the summer crops, the final huge full harvest!!! We are believing that now is:
the time of the Latter Rain,
the reaping of Harvest of the Ages, and
the Glory of the Latter House,
the perfecting of the Bride,
the manifestation of the sons of God,
the fulfillment of the Great Commission, and
the marching forth of “Joel’s Army”.
These are the next things on God’s agenda, and NOT the Rapture!!! Matthew 24:14. I saw a book title once that said, I'm Glad I Got Left Behind! Too many people have an escapest mentality that says or thinks, "Let the World go to Hell! Get me outta here! Beam me up, Yahweh!" God has commanded us, and He expects us to, "Occupy, until I come!" The word "occupy" is a war term signifying foreign government supervision.
Let me ask another question: What does it also mean in Romans, chapter 8: 19, when it says that “The earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation (revealing) of the sons of God.” (KJV) ?
How and when well this be fulfilled? "For the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the LORD Yahweh, as the waters cover the sea." Hab 2:14 One way in which it can be fulfilled, will be for the born again dear ones to become filled with and familiar with God's great glory, and, as "This Gospel of the Kingdom" gets preached "in alllll the world for a witness to alllllll the nations", so that those who hear, will also become filled with and familiar with God's great glory, and they themselves cover the earth as the waters cover the sea!!!
I have a question for you. "When do you believe that this Scripture from Joel will be fulfilled, and who do you believe this army consists of?"
Joel 2:1-11 Who do you believe that this Scripture pertains to? Verse 11 tells us!
Joel 2:21 “Do not fear, O land, rejoice and be glad, for Yahweh has done great things. 22 Do not fear, beasts of the field, for the pastures of the wilderness have turned green, for the tree has borne its fruit, the fig tree and the vine have yielded in full. 23 So rejoice, O sons of Zion, and be glad in Yahweh your God; for He has given you the early rain for your vindication. And He has poured down for you the rain, the early and latter rain as before. 24 And the threshing floors will be full of grain, and the vats will overflow with the new wine and oil. 25 Then I will make up to you for the years that the swarming locust has eaten, the creeping locust, the stripping locust, and the gnawing locust, My great army which I sent among you. 26 And you shall have plenty to eat and be satisfied, and praise the Name of Yahweh your God, Who has dealt wondrously with you; then My people will never be put to shame. 27 Thus you will know that I am in the midst of Israel, and that I am Yahweh your God and there is no other; and My people will never be put to shame. 28 And it will come about after this that I will pour out My Spirit on all mankind; and your sons and daughters will prophesy, your old men will dream dreams, your young men will see visions. 29 And even on the male and female servants I will pour out My Spirit in those days. 30 And I will display wonders in the sky and on the earth, Blood, fire, and columns of smoke. 31 The sun will be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and awesome Day of Yahweh comes. 32 And it will come about that whoever calls on the Name of Yahweh will be delivered; for on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem there will be those who escape, as Yahweh has said, ‘even among the survivors whom Yahweh calls’.” (NAS)
Whom do you believe the following Scripture pertains to, and what is meant by “The Latter Rain”?
Hag 2:6 “For thus says Yahweh of Hosts (Sabbaoth: the armies of the Universe), ‘Once more in a little while, I am going to shake the heavens and the earth, the sea also and the dry land. 7 And I will shake all the Nations; and they will come with the wealth of all Nations; and I will fill this House with glory,’ says Yahweh of Hosts (Sabbaoth: the armies of the Universe). 8 ‘The silver is Mine, and the gold is Mine,’ declares Yahweh of Hosts (Sabbaoth: the armies of the Universe). 9 ‘The latter glory of this house will be greater than the former,’ says Yahweh of Hosts (Sabbaoth: the armies of the Universe), ‘and in this place I shall give peace,’ declares Yahweh of Hosts (Sabbaoth: the armies of the Universe).” (NAS)
Note again Matthew 24:14: Note this Bible declaration: Eph 5:26 “That He might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word, 27 that He might present to Himself the Church in all her glory, having no spot or wrinkle or any such thing; but that she should be holy and blameless.” (NAS) Tell me, "When is the Church going to be sanctified, in all her glory, without spot or wrinkle or any such thing???!" Whenever I hear the song “ ‘Tis a Glorious Church, Without Spot or Wrinkle!” I want to laugh in derision or weep with grief. The Church is, and has been, lukewarm, backslidden, passive, sinning and unconcerned. The only thing that can bring the Church to Her glorified state, we believe, is the literal, physical, bombastic, cataclysmic, historical fulfillment of the Feast of Tabernacles, and in such a way that will make the Day of Pentecost seem like kindergarten, like child’s play, by comparison.
Do you remember those days leading up to the fulfillment of Pentecost? They were waiting in a keen state of expectation, preparation, and anticipation. So we are with Tabernacles. We encourage every Christian to celebrate the Feast of Tabernacles, in this state of keen excitement and expectation, as though this year could be the Year!!! Celebrate it, not because you have to, or because you must, or because God will be mad at you if you do not. But, picture with me the fact that of the multiplied thousands and thousands of people to whom Christ ministered, there were only 120 in the Upper Room when Pentecost was fulfilled!!! That’s ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY!!! Where were the thousands and thousands to whom Christ had ministered? I can again tell you where they were: They were all so busy doing more important things that they did not have time to spend, waiting around in some upper room, and, for what??? Some day, the Feast of Tabernacles will become compulsory, obligatory and mandatory, with the promise of cursing and punishment from God, for any Nation, any family who does not. Why is this Feast so important to God, to us?? I personally do not like the thought of being forced, at gun point, to attend my friend’s birthday party, and, at gun point, forced to present to him a present. This is a major reason I celebrate the Feast of Tabernacles NOW, before being forced to do so, while it is voluntary, while I do not HAVE to.
What about you?
Acts 3:20 “And that He may send the Christ, Who has been appointed for you - - even (Yahshua) Jesus. 21 He must remain in Heaven until the time comes for God to restore everything, as He promised long ago through His holy prophets.” (NIV) When and how is this going to be?
"Held in the Heavens, until - - -"
Please, Light of the World, Glory of the Father, Beloved Jesus Christ, let us behold and reflect Your glory.
Dear Heavenly Father Papa Daddy Yahweh: Please let us enter into manifested sonship, in that we will do Your works, and greater, healing the sick, raising the dead, stilling storms, being channels of Your miracle judgement, being immune to the judgement of others, traveling to every other country by the Holy Spirit, ministering supernaturally to millions by the Holy Spirit, seeing hundreds of millions being born again by Your power, seeing billions fed and saved and filled with the Holy Spirit and brought into the King's Greatest Secret, by the Holy Spirit, and seeing hundreds of millions of churches established by the Holy Spirit, and, forever staying in Your place of favour, by the Holy Spirit, and having an abundant entrance into the Kingdom of God by the Holy Spirit, and doing Your perfect will forever and ever by Your Holy Spirit. Amen.
PREDICTING THE FUTURE?!.
Let’s take a look at tomorrow’s newspapers!
It says in 1 Cor 2:9 “But just as it is written, ‘Things which eye has not seen and ear has not heard, and which have not entered the heart of man, all that God has prepared for those who love Him.’ Then it goes on in verse "10 For to us God (has) revealed them through the Spirit; for the Spirit searches all things, even the depths of God.” (NAS)
From the King James Bible, 1 Cor 2:9 “But as it is written, ‘Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love Him. 10 But God hath revealed them unto us by His Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.”
In the Book of Joel, chapter 2, from the Bible, and, in Revelation, chapter 12, we have an interesting look at tomorrow’s newspapers.
Here, again, is Joel 2:1-11:
1 “Blow a trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm on My holy mountain! Let all the inhabitants of the land tremble, for the day of Yahweh is coming; surely it is near, 2 A day of darkness and gloom, a day of clouds and thick darkness. As the dawn is spread over the mountains, so there is a great and mighty people; there has never been anything like it, nor will there be again after it to the years of many generations. 3 A fire consumes before them, and behind them a flame burns. The land is like the garden of Eden before them, but a desolate wilderness behind them, and nothing at all escapes them. 4 Their appearance is like the appearance of horses; and like war horses, so they run. 5 With a noise as of chariots they leap on the tops of the mountains, like the crackling of a flame of fire consuming the stubble, like a mighty people arranged for battle. 6 Before them the people are in anguish; all faces turn pale. 7 They run like mighty men; they climb the wall like soldiers; and they each march in line, nor do they deviate from their paths. 8 They do not crowd each other; they march everyone in his path. When they burst through the defenses, they do not break ranks. 9 They rush on the city, they run on the wall; they climb into the houses, they enter through the windows like a thief. 10 Before them the earth quakes, the heavens tremble, the sun and the moon grow dark, and the stars lose their brightness. 11 And Yahweh utters His voice before His army; surely His camp is very great, for strong is he who carries out His word. The Day of Yahweh is indeed great and very awesome, and who can endure it?” (NAS)
Some folks think Joel’s Army is some grasshoppers. Some think it is the Russians. But verse 11 tells us who it is. “And Yahweh utters His voice before His army; surely His camp is very great, for strong is he who carries out His word.” It is His Army, His Camp, a great and mighty people, and it consists of those who are committed to do the will and Word of God. We believe that there is a people spoken of in the Bible from beginning to end, of those saints who are totally committed to doing the will of God. Jesus said, “You are My friends, IF you do the will of My Father.” Jn.15:14 And, “My mother, brother and sister is he (or she) who DOES the will of My Father.” Mt.12:48-50. The Bible calls this group of people who uncompromisingly committed to obey God, by various names, such as: 'the disciples', the 'saints', the 'excellent ones', the 'saviors on Mount Zion', the 'remnant', the 'Overcomers', the 'godly ones', the 'manifested sons', the 'sons of God', the 'friends of God', 'Joel’s Army', the 'mother', 'brother' and 'sister of Christ'. Again, the common element that uniquely pertains to them all, is that they do the will of God!!. “They who are led by the Holy Spirit, ARE the sons of God.” Romans 8.
