Flee the Wrath

From the land of the great and the free comes the following article. Yes, in keeping with the spirit of Babylon, you can legally kill unborn children, make and export pornography, rip off fellow countrymen or other peoples to the tune of billions and license them with weapons that can kill. But try to get a number plate with the words “I Believe” printed on it, and you will invoke the wrath of authorities.

Haven’t had a lot of free time lately to post, but I found this site recently which I thought was very good. Didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

I especially loved the buyers testimonies of how their lives were changed after receiving their very own GOD-IN-A-BOX.

“You won’t believe how much my life has changed after I got my own GOD-IN-A-BOX©.
Now, since my god has attributes that fit my lifestyle, I don’t have to worry about going
to hell anymore.” – Ed Jr.

For quite a few years I worked as an administration manager for a large manufacturing plant in Canberra. During that time we produced building materials for new homes, roof tiles, clay bricks and pavers.

Part of my responsibility entailed keeping an eye on our debtors, those who owed us money, to ensure that if there were a hint of insolvency we’d be in a position to act quickly and seek to recover any outstanding monies.

Sounds like a good theory but we were rarely if ever successful in achieving an advanced warning. The problem is that the banks are often the first ones to recognize there is a problem and by then it’s too late. You just have to join the queue with all the other debtors and cross your fingers that you’ll get paid.

I can recall on several occasions, some large and successful, well seemingly successful businesses, would be hard at work, building, buying, driving around in their company vehicles, doing business as normal and then bang. Overnight their creditors, the banks, would foreclose or freeze their accounts and we would be left standing with hands in pockets, somewhat surprised at the rapid transition from success to foreclosure.

I’m told that it was a little like this in the Days of the Weimar Republic when it came to hyperinflation. One day the supermarket shelves were full of food and the next they were empty.

I guess the thought that comes back to me is this. Debt allows a business or individual to present an outward appearance of affluence and prosperity, even success, yet behind the closed doors, where the truth lays, the reality is often quite different. You see, you could look at any one of those building companies and have no idea of the reality of their situation. It is part of the game that must be played, for as soon as the hand is shown, the game is up. A soon as people catch wind of reality, that all is not well with that particular builder, they will lose much needed sales and the game will be over anyway.

I’m not sure about Australia, it’s a little harder to get the facts, but as for the US, in my humble summation, she is trading whilst insolvent. Someone, somewhere in the not too distant future will make a decision, perhaps some of her creditor nations, the banks,  realizing that the game is up. Then their hand will be laid on on the table for all to see, it will be game over.

All of this when from the outside she looked successful, prosperous and a good investment. But that’s all part of the illusion which debt provides.

For now, let’s keep talking and hoping this thing up, let’s allow the illusion to continue lest anyone catch wind of the reality. It seems to me that we are going to wind this thing up so far,  that at the time that that bluff hand is shown, it will be like deflating of an overinflated balloon.

Bang !

John 6:27″Do not work for the food which perishes, but for the food which endures to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give to you, for on Him the Father, God, has set His seal.”

There is a drug that our western culture is distributing and using today which I believe to be very dangerous. It is pushed by the media, politicians and sadly, part of the church.   In the video below, Gerald Celente calls it “Optimism Opium”. I’m not sure what I would call it, but it evokes a response in the user which manifests as DENIAL.

In keeping with the nature of other opiates it is designed with a specific purpose, to reduce the pain, to have a sedative effect, even putting the user to sleep. This use of this drug and the accompanying manifestation of DENIAL, is to be found in the the occupants of Western Christendom and pertains to the present economic circumstances that she faces, but can also be found amongst the Lukewarm church, who presumes that she is rich, clothed in righteousness and discerning. The very things Christ told her that she is not.

Clearly, clearly we are at the precipice of something BIG in Christendom, the West. But we the church, for what reason I do not know, except perhaps for our drug addiction, are so often of the opinion that everything is just rosy. We seem to have partaken of this optimism opium, fallen asleep, are untroubled, at peace, even supposing peace and safety, that God will just rapture us out of here any day now. Troubling days,  for when they say peace and safety, then sudden destruction comes …and they shall not escape. 1 Thessalonians 5:3

Perhaps a good biblical example of the manifestation of using optimism opium is seen in the example of the Kingdom of the Harlot, Babylon the Great,  who indulges on the opiate of the masses and declares ” I sit as a queen, am no widow and will not see sorrow ” Rev 18:7.  Clearly the harlot had a big habit, for her DENIAL as to reality is quite profound. For the word says, in one hour her judgment came, in one hour the supposedly impenetrable kingdom will be brought to it’s knees. For in one hour she is made desolate Rev 18:19.

The word of God tells us that the occupants of this Harlot kingdom are in DENIAL. They are delusional, having partaken of the drug induced comatose opiate that is being fed to the masses by the media and it’s deluded politicians. And now they suppose themselves to be something they are not, secure, strong, untroubled, safe, protected, invulnerable, impregnable, they are altogether in DENIAL, BIG time.

When I started writing this post I just wanted to make a simple point, one which is made on the video below. Don’t be fooled Christian by the messages that are coming from our media and politicians. All is not as it seems, and though they would like you to see through their eyes of optimism, it is a foolish notion, based on failed reason and a lack of any Godly wisdom. Their optimistic words are designed to create a false sense of reality, of comfort, a stupor, even blindness to the truth of these most perilous days.

Watch therefore, and pray always that you may be counted worthy [fn] to escape all these things that will come to pass, and to stand before the Son of Man.”

Gerald Celente is not a Christian prophet, but a trend forecaster who uses current events to predict future trends. I find much of what he says to be at odds with what your politicians would prefer to tell you.

In such a very short a time there has been a significant change in one particular area of our western culture, family values and relationships.

I’m not talking about the decline of the traditional marriage, or the increase in family breakdown, but rather the introduction of same sex relationships by the media, into our culture,  particularly through television programming.  In what seems to be a few short months, not years or decades, but in a very short period of time many family orientated shows in Australia have introduced same sex couples into their storylines.

I know that our culture has been pushing these boundaries for years, but the change to traditional TV viewing  has been rapid, to say the least. We have stepped into new territory this past year with many producers pushing this value system into the lives of our families and children.

There is one positive aspect to this, well in my household anyway. The TV is getting less and less airtime. The idiot box which speaks an image of the world into the lives of my family may be coming to an end quicker than I had hoped.  Idiot box! That’s what my mum used to call  it 40 years ago. Maybe mum did have a prophetic gift after all!

Anyway the problem with all of this same sex relationship value system being imparted to our lives at warp speed is that it speaks of God’s judgement on this generation. Anyone who understands the scripture in Romans chapter 1, pertaining to the wrath of God, will know that God’s judgment on an unrighteous generation is to “hand us over”.

Rom 1:26   For this reason God gave them up to vile passions. For even their women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature.

The rampant increase in sexual immorality in this day is a clear sign that He, God, refuses to strive with men any longer, and the result of His wrath is to “hand us over”, or as the scripture above declares “God gave them up”. Then at the appointed time, when  iniquity has reached it’s fullness, shall come the straw which breaks the camels back. Though sadly, it may well be a rather pointed straw containing nuclear warheads. Rev 17:16

Now you and I Christian need to be quite clear, that God is in our day, allowing men in our culture to “go after strange flesh”. Pastors, leaders, men in the church ought not be ignorant  to this. Sexual immorality, lust of the flesh is like the prevailing spirit over much of our nation at this time. I’d liken it to spiritual swine flu, take precautions, or you might catch it.

But sadly it is I would say, a rather sobering sign as to where we are in the overall time span of God’s judgement on a kingdom. The western gentile nations are all in a similar position, all advancing the kingdom of unrighteousness with the same zeal. What we will shortly end up with is a kingdom that looks just like Sodom.

Babylon, the jewel of kingdoms, the glory of the Babylonians’ pride, will be overthrown by God like Sodom and Gomorrah. Isaiah 13:19

Yes, Babylon will be overthrown like Sodom. According to the highly regarded Scofield bible commentary, (read notes) the scripture above speaks of both Babylon of old, and prophetically of the future Babylon, Mystery Babylon of Revelation 17. Yes the very same Mystery Babylon of the Western gentile nations comprising apostate Christendom of our day.

No prizes for guessing why Isaiah likens it to the destruction of Sodom, for it will be a literal Sodom, in that day. Or should I say, in this day.

Even though with one hand God is allowing judgement to begin, at the very same time, with great mercy and long suffering He continues to reach out to an unrighteous generation, calling men out before the appointed day.

Come out of her My people?

Yeah I know, twenty three judgement is a weird title for a post.  It all started some time back when one of the youth in our youth group was telling us she would see the number 23 all of the time. For example she’d wake up and it would be 7.23 or whatever. It got a little weirder even as she was telling us the story cause we were holding a bible study in a house which is number 23 .

Some of the kids in our youth group are hearing from God, their just not real sure about it, and sometimes, neither am I. So I tucked this one away in my heart for later investigation.

Now there is a whole bunch of information out there on this number 23,  they made a movie about it, there is a theory about it called the  “23 enigma”. Some of the stats and facts about this number make for interesting reading, but in the back of my mind lurked the question as to whether there was any biblical support or significance for this number twenty three (23).

I didn’t set out to look for things, I didn’t seek to make the case so to speak, but things just kept showing up, and each time I saw them I made a note.

Being a man who’s mind is so often engrossed in thoughts concerning the end of all things pertaining to this present age, and being mindful that Christ’s desire is to see men flee from the wrath of God, the judgement to come, I found it interesting to note that the number twenty three (23), from a biblical perspective, is often associated with judgement.

In 1 Corinthians 10:8, Paul shows us an example in which this number is used  when explaining the judgement which came upon the Hebrews who sought to satisfy their evil and carnal desires.

Again, let us not give way to the desires of the flesh, as some of them did, of whom twenty-three thousand came to their end in one day.

And again in Numbers 26:62 we see  a number of Hebrews, some 23,000 excluded from being counted amongst the Israelites because their fathers and relatives had offered “strange and unholy fire before the Lord”.

Now those who were numbered of them were twenty-three thousand, every male from a month old and above; for they were not numbered among the other children of Israel, because there was no inheritance given to them among the children of Israel.

Now I don’t know about you but there is very little in this bible of mine which is there by some random chance. Everything is placed by design or with some specific purpose in mind. Perhaps it simply testifies to the glory of God, perhaps He intends us to recognise the pattern and pay attention to it’s significance, perhaps it is prophetic, either way this twenty three (23) seems to be significant.

In the book of Daniel chapter 8, Daniel is given a vision of a period of time in which an abomination which makes desolate, would be granted authority over Gods people as a result of their ireverance, godliness and lack of piety.

How long shall this go on for ? the question is asked

And he said to me, “For two thousand three hundred days; [fn] then the sanctuary shall be cleansed.”

There are other relevant uses of twenty three in the biblical context pertaining to judgement, like the 23 year period period of time between the death of Josiah and the destruction of Judah. Or Isaiah which happens to be the 23rd book of the bible, and chapter 23 deals solely with the judgement of Tyre, a kingdom not unlike Western Christendom, Mystery Babylon.

Twenty three (23), what does it all mean, well according to my reckoning it’s like a signature, a mark of Gods hand, and in seeing it we shall know that He is the author thereof.

Recently I happened to watch a testimony video of a Christian man who believes that he was taken to hell, in order to bring a message of warning back to humanity and to the church. The video was called 23 minutes in hell. When I saw that number Twenty Three (23), immediately my ears, eyes, whatever,  sparked up and I took the time to watch the testimony.

I don’t like talking about hell very much, I don’t even like thinking about it too much to be honest, but I found the video and the testimony of this man to be profoundly moving.

If indeed hell is to be found as this man has found it, and there is good scriptural evidence to support his vision. Then we as Christians ought to be laying our lives down for this gospel, knowing the fearful end of those who are presently condemned to this awful place.

It was 3am on twenty three (23) November 1998 that Bill Weise was taken into a horrifying vision of hell which lasted for twenty three (23) minutes. I’ll let him tell you his testimony.

I imagine that in the last days the Lord is aware that there are a whole bunch of His people caught up in a way of life that is abhorrent to Him. Of course it must be so, for He Himself has to call them out Rev 18:4.

Let us suppose for a moment that He can see that these people have been caught in a snare, perhaps unaware of the perilous nature of their predicament. They being  lukewarm in their faith, as a result of living in times of prosperity, and having need of little, are spiritually blind, lacking discernment and altogether unaware of their position. Just like the Loadicean church Rev3:17.

Now God in His mercy, who abounds in grace and relents from doing harm,  desires to call His people out of that place in which they find themselves. To awaken them from their slumber, before the judgement comes. He stands at the door of their hearts knocking , but few respond, most are enamored with their abundant lifestyle, even supposing that it is God who is blessing them with all material wealth, because they are righteous. But sadly, in the eyes of the Lord, they are blind, naked and poor.

Therefore I imagine that He is going to have to call them out with great signs and wonders.  “COME OUT OF HER MY PEOPLE LEST YOU SHARE IN HER SINS, AND RECEIVE OF HER PLAGUES”  Come out! Comeout! With great signs and wonders the Lord calls them out, even bringing plagues upon the land. But the people say, “Come out of where? Come out of what? Where is this Mystery Babylon and why should I care, for I myself am righteous amongst men. Babylon is of old, is of ages past. I am no fool nor blind that I cannot see. Can you not see for yourself that God has blessed me with every good thing because I am righteous”

This people have grown dull of hearing, for there ears are heavy and thy have shut their eyes ; Lest they see with their eyes, And hear with their ears, And understand with their heart, And return and be healed.” Isaiah 6:10

With great signs and wonders the Lord calls them,  with great mercy He extends His hand toward them. See, look, be astounded at the work I do in your day. Here is Babylon He says, a mystery to all, she is of old and yet is. By My strong hand I have shown you where she dwells, I have marked her out and appointed her to judgement. She is of Babel of old, and yet is, will you not see?

Knowing full well that He speaks to a generation who find their pleasure in the buying and selling of goods, in the materialism of the culture, He asks them to come buy from Him instead. 3:18 I counsel thee – who art poor, and blind, and naked. To buy of me – Without money or price. Gold purified in the fire – True, living faith, which is purified in the furnace of affliction. And white raiment – True holiness. And eyesalve – Spiritual illumination; the unction of the Holy One, which teacheth all things.

Christian, whilst ever we live in the world and love the things of the world, the love of the father is not in us. 1John 2:15.  We will never have eyes to see nor ears to hear, nor the ability to discern the mysteries of God through these carnal eyes unless we forsake the love of the world. We will not be able to grasp the mystery of lawlesness, which is the falling away, and Mystery Babylon, in whom these fallen ones dwell.

The following prophecy was distributed by Andrew Strom of revivalschool.com

I know nothing of Darren Smith, but I would say everything he has written in this prophecy is biblically sound and rings true with my understanding of the very close at hand, judgement of Mystery Babylon of the end times. FTW

NOTE:  Darren Smith is one of the soundest preachers that I know
in America – which is why I think we should give close attention to
this word. He runs a ministry to the homeless in Texas. The only
question I have is the “timing” for some of it – because I know the
“urgency” and sense of ‘imminence’ that often comes with these
kinds of prophecies. Darren says he feels that some things begin
“this summer”. Either way, it is a very important word from a very
credible source. -One to be noted and heeded concerning what
lies ahead-

FALL OF BABYLON – a VISION
-by Darren Smith. (1 Jun 09).

The Lord kept me up most of the night bringing a word for me to
share and to share now. Many times I wait until I have prayed over
what I hear in my spirit, but I can’t wait to send this word out.

Last night while praying before I went to bed, The Lord gave me a
vision that really rattled me. In the vision I saw this land split into
four parts with each one under its own flag. Each region had terrible
destruction and many people were dead. As I looked over the
destruction I was crying and the Lord asked me, “Why are you
crying over the fall of Babylon? As a matter of fact, why have you
been praying for the healing of Babylon?”

In this vision I didn’t have an answer and the Lord opened a scroll
and started reading off the indictments against our country, but
before each one he clearly called the USA Babylon.

The list was long and to the point, with such points as the killing
of several generations of unborn children. Beside this charge He
added that these babies had been sacrificed to the god of self. The
list also included greed, idolatry, pride, fornication, and many others,
so many I could not even read them all.

As I looked at the list of charges I was overwhelmed and broken
by the fact that we live every day in a nation that is so far removed
from God and in total opposition to the Kingdom of God, yet we are
comfortable here. We have become just like Lot living in Sodom,
the prosperity that the nation offers us has blinded us from the evil
that rules this land. We complain about how bad it is but still stay
attached to it with every ounce of strength we have.

The Lord told me to look at the nation as He sees it, not through
my eyes but through His. I could not look too long before I had to
agree and repent of loving Babylon. Once I repented the Lord told
me to prepare for the fall as time is running out. I must preach the
Gospel of The Kingdom not the Gospel of America.  America is
already judged, the time of shaking is now and will increase rapidly
this summer. Water shortages and food shortages will become
common this summer, as well as fuel shortages. Civil unrest will
become common place in large cities first but will spill over into
the rural areas as well.

Natural disasters will stretch the resources of the nation to the
breaking point and the government will use this to take freedom
away. Brothers up north take note, you will see this start to happen
quickly. Please seek the Lord for direction as you are out of time.
The west coast will see this soon as well, please prepare.

In this vision there was a great wasteland that appeared to be in
the center of the nation where everything was wiped out and I saw
masses of people wandering without direction. They were dirty and
ragged, almost dead and there was no relief in sight.  Most of you
reading this think I’m crazy I’m sure, but I must be faithful to share
what I’m given to share.

The Lord told me to cry from the mountain tops to repent and seek
the Lord now!! We don’t have any more time to seek after the things
of this world. He has also given me teaching to prepare people to
pass through this time of shaking into the Kingdom and I must be
faithful to preach this word anywhere I have an open door.

If you want to hear this word please contact me to set up times
and places, but again I must warn you, we are running out of time.
We must stop living like we have all the time in the world.  We
must stop crying over the fall of Babylon and press into the Kingdom.

I recently heard someone say that Americans are losing their homes to the banks at the rate of 1 every 13 seconds. I wasn’t sure if that was correct so thought it best to check for myself. According to the Wall St Journal, there were approx 120,000 U.S. home foreclosures in February 2009. At my reckoning, that works out at 1 every 21 seconds. Not quite 1 every 13 seconds but still, a significant number.

How awful this must be for those who have labored, sacrificed and struggled, to obtain these properties, only to see them disappear before their eyes. In some ways it reminds me of a type of modern day slavery and legalized theft. Big business, corporations and financial institutions make merchandise of mens souls. Rev 18:13

I guess the tragedy about this whole affair is that the people willingly partook of this game. It was sold to them as “The Dream”.  Be it the great Australian dream, or the American dream, the dream of home ownership, with the promise of a prosperous future, and financial security.

But now, every 21 seconds “the American dream” becomes a nightmare. The reality that people have been unwittingly yoked into the bondage of modern day slavery is realized, and they wake up homeless in the land their forefathers conquered.

Some 218 years ago, one of Americas founding fathers made a profound statement.  Whether Thomas Jefferson was a man of faith or not, I do not know, but I know this. His  prophetic warning was ignored and is now fulfilled in this generation.

“I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. Already they have raised up a money aristocracy that has set the government at defiance. This issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people to whom it properly belongs. If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around them will deprive the people of all property until their children will wake up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered” Thomas Jefferson, 1791

Of course history records that much of what  Jefferson warned against, was  fulfilled when the government handed much of the US financial system to an independent corporation, the Federal Reserve.

Australians need to pay attention to what is presently unfolding in the U.S. We are playing a very similar game in many respects, supposing that there will be an altogether different outcome.

I believe that dream is coming to an end and it’s a hard lesson for many. Men have been beguiled by the promise of serving mammon and self, only to discover a hard master.

Such a master you shall not find in the service of Christ. As we live out these last days, serve Him Christian, do it with all of your heart and strength. Do not be beguiled as many have been, do not lay up your treasure on earth, where rust and moth destroy, and thieves break in and steal. Serve Christ and you shall have treasure in heaven, where your treasure is secure.

Mat 6:19 “Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal;
Mat 6:20  but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal.
Mat 6:21  For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

It’s all getting pretty crazy out there now. Every other week I hear of some news out of the U.S. and just think “You’ve got to be joking”

Two  weeks ago it was news of O’bama’s Brownshirts legislation, HR 1388 that had my attention. Last week it was it was the likelyhood of nationalizing GM (Government Motors) that had me thinking, and this week it’s HR 875. The legislation which has the potential to stop you from growing vegetables in your backyard veggie garden.

I don’t live in the U.S. but I would also be fairly sure also that like Australia at this time, you are seeing an order of control unveiled as a result of this so called potential apocalytic pandemic, Swine Flu.

Pretty soon there will be no area of your life which is free of potential government intervention. The New World Order Beast is marching onwards and things seem to be moving along quickly now. Government takeover of industry, internal security forces, big brother style draconian legislation and worldwide pandemic scare campaigns. The Beast New World Order may be here sooner than we imagine.

Where are you church? Are you asleep in the light? Are you warning your people of the dangers that lay ahead? Are you asking them to take a stand for  righteousness?  Are you suggesting that they earnestly seek God and pray, turn away from serving their worldly idols and bowing before gods that are not gods. Or are you more interested in satisfying  itching ears with your lukewarm messages and maintaining your large congregations and international ministries?

Could it be, heaven forbid that history is about to repeat, and like the false teachers of Israel saying peace and safety, all is well, you also refuse to accept the possibility that the Lord your God could be about to discipline his wayward children.

Not so long ago I wasn’t so sure, but now it seems increasingly likely as many have said in the past, that the greatest Christian persecution to occur in history of the world is likely to take place in the land of the free.

Because you are Lukewarm and neither hot nor cold, I’m about to spew you from My mouth. Revelation :16

There is plenty of information out there on these legislative changes HR 1388 and HR 875. Here are a couple of videos that will fill in the gaps if you are not familiar with them.
