Israel & The End of The Age!
In Part I of Prophetic Insights for 2023, we talked about the first three horsemen released in Revelation 6. I believe we are there! The last horseman we discussed was the third horseman. These horsemen are continuing to ride, but there could possibly be years before the fourth is released as we haven’t been given the timing of their release. Because of this, I would like to share my thoughts regarding God’s timing and the end of the age. In Scripture, the time frame of how events will unfold is unclear, as events shown in the Book of Revelation don’t necessarily fall in a chronological pattern. I believe this book cannot be interpreted by logic and reason according to content and time, but only by revelation, as the Spirit chooses to give it.
I have not studied eschatology as some have, and I am certainly not dogmatic about anything related to the book of Revelation or Daniel. However, there are certain things I think that I will share that readers can receive or leave. Firstly, I don’t think anyone should be dogmatic about the order of events of the end times as there are so many scriptures that can have layers of meanings and interpretations. Sometimes I find that the moment you try to become fixed on a position, you can be proven wrong. And I see absolutely no reason to become divisive over things we cannot prove. They will happen as God has determined!
It seems clear to me that the book of Revelation cannot be understood as occurring in an ordered flow as it is written regarding timing. There are many pauses throughout the book where John sees specific revelations, that take place outside of the ordered flow, such as the two witnesses, the three woes, etc.
I believe that the seven-year period that is a combination of the tribulation and the great tribulation begins after a period of silence in heaven, at the opening of the Seventh Seal, and the blowing of the First Trumpet.
As far as the Rapture goes (or catching away), there are many positions and each one could be legitimately defended as far as pre, mid and post-tribulation are concerned. My belief is that there is a catching away of the saints as revealed by Paul in Scripture.
“For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord.” 1 Thess. 4:16:
My personal belief and I am open to other points of view as I have said, is that this event takes place in Revelation 14:14-20 and lines up with Matthew 13:38-40.
“The field is the world, the good seeds are the sons of the kingdom, but the tares are the sons of the wicked one. The enemy who sowed them is the devil, the harvest is the end of the age, and the reapers are the angels. Therefore as the tares are gathered and burned in the fire, so it will be at the end of this age.” Matthew 13:38
“And another angel came out of the temple, crying with a loud voice to Him who sat on the cloud, "Thrust in Your sickle and reap, for the time has come for You to reap, for the harvest of the earth is ripe." So He who sat on the cloud thrust in His sickle on the earth, and the earth was reaped. Then another angel came out of the temple which is in heaven, he also having a sharp sickle. And another angel came out from the altar, who had power over fire, and he cried with a loud cry to him who had the sharp sickle, saying, "Thrust in your sharp sickle and gather the clusters of the vine of the earth, for her grapes are fully ripe." Revelation 14:15-17
Here, the reaping of the harvest occurs before the seventh angel sounds his trumpet and the seven bowls of wrath are poured out. This event seems to take place somewhere in the mid or second half of the 7-year span of the tribulation. I do see other possibilities in the arguments of others, but I think this fits the best. But regardless of what anyone believes, we are called to be an army on the move, not waiting for the rapture.
As far as the movements and timings of God as to how close we are to these times, they are perceived through the movements of the Jewish people and the nation of Israel as Israel is God’s timepiece! As we look forward to understanding what lies ahead, we must also look back to see and understand what has been and what is presently unfolding; like a relay runner passing a baton, there is a continuum. There is a movement that continues and builds on previous movements. Satan also has a movement in a continuum that he continues to push forward. However, God always intervenes when he goes beyond His bounds.
With an understanding of the Movements of God in Israel, we will get a clearer view of where we are in His timing. To prevent the movement toward the return of Jesus, Satan is fiercely determined to annihilate the Jews. Labor pains have been growing on the earth with increasing intensity over the past century in an ebb and flow of steady waves of turmoil. With the movement of the Jews returning to Israel that had begun out of Russia in the late 19th century, as Jews began to flee persecution, Satan panicked as God’s end-time clock was re-started. The end of the age kicked into gear! WWI was the first wave sent ultimately to stop the Jews. WWII was the second wave, where through Hitler, Satan intended to implement, his Final Solution to annihilate all Jews—it failed. WWIII will be the third wave and its ultimate target will once again be the Jews—even if it may not look like this at first.
A one-world government is being established before our eyes—for those who have eyes to see. The G20 nations have recently signed on to the WHOs control over the health care of the world and all future pandemics. They are also talking of mandating Education to one curriculum even homeschooling, and the implementation of a digitized world is underway as we speak.
At the recent G20 meeting in Indonesia, Klaus Schwab said: But what we have to confront is a deep systemic and structural restructuring of our world. And this will take some time. And the world will look different after we have come through this transition process politically.
According to Klaus Schwab, the 4th Reich is the 4th empire that is now rising! Its ultimate goal will be the fulfillment and completion of the Final Solution. The wealthy now own the world through foundations and corporations and should their plans fail, they will regroup and return creating waves of turmoil until Jesus returns to stop them!
Their present and great fear is reprisal and the rising anger of the people of all nations. Great protests have begun all over the world numbering in the hundreds of thousands, (not shown in the media). As each wave increases in intensity, these are the labor pains coming in waves to BIRTH US INTO A NEW ERA!
So, are we nearing the end of the Age? I think so! I have been shown this from the time I got saved in 1993! These are things God began to reveal to me back then and ever since. Headstone Ministry was birthed to bring forth this message and provide books and resources to equip people for it; resources I have begun releasing over the past few years.
The Headstone is the final, closing stone of God’s work that represents the sons of God in union with Christ, the Head Stone. Christ in this surpassing union with an apostolic Capstone Generation becomes the STONE that strikes the image, takes down, and destroys the enemy. That I am living to see begin,… what Jesus began to show me 30 years ago, is confirmation to me! Until Jesus returns, possibly sometime within 20 years, we will still see waves of turmoil intensifying.
In regard to the return of Jesus, many have been taught we should not be concerned about dates and times. However, in Paul’s letters to the Thessalonians, he states and admonishes the people of God that they are to know the times, and in verse 9, tells us that the people of God are not appointed to wrath.
“But you, brethren, are not in darkness, so that this Day should overtake you as a thief. You are all sons of light and sons of the day. We are not of the night nor of darkness. Therefore, let us not sleep, as others do, but let us watch and be sober.” 1 Thessalonians 5:4-6
The saints in this hour can’t be like the 5 sleeping virgins who were unprepared, as they waited for the Bridegroom. We must be like the 5 wise virgins who not only had oil but also carried extra oil. They were alert and prepared like Gideon’s 300 were.
The Lord gave me a vision of Jesus’ return as a picture of a hurricane. I saw a hurricane from an elevated position, where I could see the center. There was stillness and absolute peace in the center, which was wide and broad. Around the edges and the periphery, there was a wide band of total chaos and churning turmoil. As Jesus, the Center moved, the chaos around moved also. Believers are to live in the Center, in Christ where there is always peace. I heard Jesus say, “I AM GOSHEN!” Goshen is that broad place in the centre of the storm where Jesus stands.
I saw a picture of a world on fire and Jesus standing in the midst of the Fire. Isaiah 33 asks the question, who can dwell in the devouring fire, and answers, he who has clean hands and a pure heart. The fire is coming to cleanse and purify an apostolic leadership for the move of God which will be unprecedented.
“But who can endure the day of his coming, and who can stand when he appears? For he is like a refiner's fire and like fullers' soap. He will sit as a refiner and purifier of silver, and he will purify the sons of Levi and refine them like gold and silver, and they will bring offerings in righteousness to the LORD. Then the offering of Judah and Jerusalem will be pleasing to the LORD as in the days of old and as in former years. “Then I will draw near to you for judgment. I will be a swift witness against the sorcerers, against the adulterers, against those who swear falsely, against those who oppress the hired worker in his wages, the widow and the fatherless, against those who thrust aside the sojourner, and do not fear me, says the LORD of hosts.” Malachi 3:2
The shaking will continue, even as we have many victories, many exposures of corruption, A GREAT AWAKENING, and a multitude of souls coming into the Kingdom. You have been called forth into the Army of the Lord for such a time as this! God expects us to discern the times, perceive what He is doing and join Him now in His work. There must be the birth of the MAN CHILD warrior tribe for this hour. Jesus wants to and intends to, showcase Himself through such an army. Who will volunteer? in Deborah’s song, she sang cursed is meroz, and questioned all the tribes who did not come to the help of the Lord on the day of Battle.
Run Your Race
I heard the Lord say 2023 is the year we HIT THE GROUND RUNNING. This is the season of BOOTS ON THE GROUND! This is the year the one we show allegiance to becomes evident to all. For whoever is ashamed of Me and My words in this adulterous and sinful generation, of him the Son of Man also will be ashamed when He comes in the glory of His Father with the holy angels (Mark 8:38).
Assignments are being handed out. Be alert to receive your assignment. Gird up your loins and get ready to run, your steps are assured. Angels are assigned to guard your steps that are ordered by Me. Do not doubt Me, do not second guess Me. You are now mature sons, and the world awaits you. Precious, despairing, discouraged, suicidal people are waiting for you. I have put the words of life they need IN YOUR MOUTH. Don't hesitate to speak them.
Dare to believe for the impossible this year. Those who love and serve me will be like stars that shine; Like the sun when it comes out in FULL STRENGTH (Jdg. 5). This is your time! Do not allow anyone or their words to prevent you from entering the fullness of your call, and the new dimensions in Me that await you. For, have I not said, that those who love Me would prosper? Whatever you put your hand to shall be ignited with my life and infused with the oil of my Favour upon you. Go now in My name and I shall be with you always, closer than you know. The word is very near you, in your mouth and in your heart, that you may do it (Deut. 30:14).
