Revelation 20:4 And I saw thrones, and they sat on them, and judgment was committed to them. Then I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for their witness to Jesus and for the word of God, who had not worshiped the beast or his image, and had not received his mark on their foreheads or on their hands. And they lived and reigned with Christ for a thousand years. It is no accident that those aligned with the revived Ottoman Caliphate are beheading people. This is a prophetic sign. It is also no accident that the Lord showed me, and others, that a revived Caliphate was a big part of what was coming. About seven months ago I stated that I believed the tribulation had begun, for what I believe are very Biblical reasons. Ive been called a false prophet, but the truth is I wasnt prophecying, I was observing some very improbable political movements and statements the Bible was pretty clear about and connecting them to the news. I wasnt foretelling...I was witnessing. At the time I said what many thought to be outrageous statements, there were very few outward signs that this could be true, but numerous Biblical prophecies were being fulfilled in nuanced and initial ways. Many of the things I have talked about have NOW blossomed in a very visible way, and many more are about to. They havent happened the way I thought they would, but they HAVE and ARE happening. A great increase of intensity is promised to come, not less intensity. Back then it was not visible to most people. Just seven months later, tribulation is clearly touching large portions of the Church...maybe just not where you live...yet. According to the Bible, the sudden rise in beheadings is going to go global...the hatred expressed by those opposed to Jesus is spreading to all nations. Just like Jesus said, it is accompanied by many other tangible and measurable signs (famines, earthquakes, pestillence). There are no lack of signs...but the truth is, if you dont have a heart to believe, there will never be enough signs. If you actually have a heart to believe, you can already see tribulation leaking out of the middle east. Matthew 24:7-13 For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various places. 8 All these are the beginning of sorrows. 9 Then they will deliver you up to tribulation and kill you, and you will be hated by all nations for My names sake. 10 And then many will be offended, will betray one another, and will hate one another. 11 Then many false prophets will rise up and deceive many. 12 And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold. 13 But he who endures to the end shall be saved. I dont say these things to be right...I say them because there is a very clear plan to be ready. It is time sensitive. It requires an advanced decision to say yes. Revelation 3:10 Because you have kept My command to persevere, I also will keep you from the hour of trial which shall come upon the whole world, to test those who dwell on the earth. There is only one way this promise happens. Jesus talked directly to seven Churches. Only one was found faithful in the way that would result in their protection THROUGH the trouble. This is what being ready is all about. Jesus told saved people to be ready. Saved and ready are NOT synonymous. The first step of getting ready is admitting there is something to be ready for. The second step is finding out as much as you can about how to get ready in a way that agrees with what Jesus said. The third step is to begin making choices that reflect your agreement...day by day. The tribulation takes 7 Jewish years and is lived out in real time...in real life. Even if I am right and it has already started, there are still six and half years left, and it only gets more intense from here. But it grows in intensity slowly...this is very dangerous for those who want to ignore it. Everyday is a new normal. That is actually one of the hardest parts...the normal way the heat increases. You either keep putting off the noticing until you can no longer ignore it, or you flip and do something drastic...fear makes people do things they shouldnt. The answer isnt to sell it all, or quit college, or spend like crazy cause the world is about to end...No! The answer is to make choice by choice to hear God more, love God more, and obey God more. A pure and spotless Bride will be the result of the trouble of the hour. If you begin studying, and then making the small baby steps into the plan, you will find your stride increasing, your faith growing, and your anxiety fading...you really will. If you want to start making steps in that direction, then you really need to begin getting an understanding of the Biblical pattern for making your own geographic location safe. Ezekiel 22:29-31 The people of the land have used oppressions, committed robbery, and mistreated the poor and needy; and they wrongfully oppress the stranger. 30 So I sought for a man among them who would make a wall, and stand in the gap before Me on behalf of the land, that I should not destroy it; but I found no one. 31 Therefore I have poured out My indignation on them; I have consumed them with the fire of My wrath; and I have recompensed their deeds on their own heads, says the Lord GOD. God looks for men and women who will begin agreeing with Him about how this has ALWAYS worked....the great thing for us is that, unlike many Old Testament generations who experienced small tastes of this, we have the Holy Spirit. We should be doing more repenting (that just means agreeing with God), not less, empowered by the Spirit. The trouble coming is much larger and much deeper than anything in the Old Testament, but we have much more available to us. The plan is all about the PRACTICAL and SUSTAINED expression of repentance. Biblical repentance doesnt happen at a conference and then we can go back to normal life. Repentance isnt accomplished in a 21 day fast. You dont get enough repentance to tide you over till the next time someone calls a fast or plans a conference. Repentance literally changes your life forever. The plan that protects is real repentance expressed outwardly and practically in geographic locations. It is a very intentional and deliberate plan. It is no secret. It is in numerous places in the Bible, the broad strokes are most easily seen in Joel 2. From there, much of the Bible will open up to you. You dont need to learn MY understanding of the plan, but you do need to begin figuring it out for yourself...how Jesus is calling YOU to express it... if you want you, your kids, and your community to be safe through what is CLEARLY growing in this hour. I write nearly daily about this, and I am happy to help you understand the plan, but you dont really need me or anyone else to figure it out...you just need to decide it is actually worth your time. It is not complicated theology...it doesnt require super smarts...it requires humility. It requires a desire to actually do something about what is happening all around you. It requires turning off Charles in Charge, or whatever bad singing, duck calling rerun you are tempted to watch and start caring about the return of the Messiah enough to actually let it change your entire life in a sustained and growing way. You dont ever graduate from getting ready to see God more. Hes infinite, and we are on the cusp of finding out a lot more of what infinite really means. You got picked to live in the generation that is supposed to welcome a man who is also infinite perfect beauty and power back to earth night and day: Luke 18:7-8 And shall God not avenge His own elect who cry out day and night to Him, though He bears long with them? 8 I tell you that He will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will He really find faith on the earth? Ask the Holy Spirit to help you understand Joel 2 and then start reading. It is simple. Simple but not easy. The great thing is, agreeing with Gods recipe for how to respond to the hour we live in will result in cities all over the earth that are literally manifesting an open heaven on earth as they prepare to welcome back perfection into the garden. Signs and wonders...the Spirit poured out on all the people that agree with God...the greater things than these Jesus promised, but the earth is still waiting to see the fullness of. This truly is the most glorious time to be alive IF you get ready and get others ready, too. Getting ready and getting others ready will actually prepare the way for Jesus to return...we are not waiting for Him...He is waiting for us, and by the signs of the times, He isnt waiting much longer. Woe to those whom He finds not watching, praying, and ready: Romans 8:19-22 For the earnest expectation of the creation eagerly waits for the revealing of the sons of God. 20 For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of Him who subjected it in hope; 21 because the creation itself also will be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God. 22 For we know that the whole creation groans and labors with birth pangs together until now. Mark 13:35-37 Watch therefore, for you do not know when the master of the house is coming—in the evening, at midnight, at the crowing of the rooster, or in the morning— 36 lest, coming suddenly, he find you sleeping. 37 And what I say to you, I say to all: Watch!
