An Ungodly Alliance

(11 March – 14 April 2002)

(Part 2)

And Jesus said to them,

Can you make the wedding guests fast as long as the bridegroom is with them? But the days will come when the bridegroom will be taken from them;

and then they will fast in those days. (Luke 5:34 – 35) Ampl

An Ungodly Alliance… As we arrived in the park, where it was our custom to pray and wait on God, a great and terrible sign appeared in the sky. We saw a large demon standing over all the earth, having a sceptre in his hand. The sceptre was the sceptre, which the Pope has by his side. Even as we saw this sign we became afraid that

Satan had some how deceived us. Then the word of the Lord came to us according to the word to the prophet Isaiah, saying: 21 Declare and bring forward your strong arguments [for praying to gods that cannot save]; yes, take counsel together.

And there is no other God besides Me, a rigidly and uncompromisingly just and righteous

God and Saviour of all mankind, and of all who acknowledge Him as their Lord and Saviour. We are witnesses of these things, which the Lord Jesus Christ has shown us and of this sign, which God revealed to both of us at the same time. We clearly saw the sceptre of the Roman Catholic Pope in the demon’s hand. Then the word of the Lord came to us again saying that He will protect us under the shadow of His wing and that He alone was holding us in the palm of His hand and no one and nothing will be able to plug us from His mighty hand. Then a great sign of a heart appeared in the sky, confirming God’s great love for us and for all those who will trust in Him in this last hour before He comes. Again the word the Lord came to us according to the prophet Isaiah saying: 1 The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me, because the Lord has anointed and qualified me to preach the Gospel of good tidings to the meek, the poor, and afflicted; He has sent me to bind up and heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the [physical and spiritual] captives and the opening of the prison and of the eyes to those who are bound, [Rom. 10:15.] 2 To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord [the year of His favour] and the day of vengeance of our God, to comfort all who mourn, [Matt. 11:2-6; Luke 4:18, 19; 7:22.] 3 To grant [consolation and joy] to those who mourn in Zion--to give them an ornament (a garland or diadem) of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of joy instead of mourning, the garment [expressive] of praise instead of a heavy, burdened, and failing spirit--that they may be called oaks of righteousness [lofty, strong, and magnificent, distinguished for uprightness, justice, and right standing with God], the planting of the Lord, that He may be glorified. 4 And they shall rebuild the ancient ruins; they shall raise up the former desolations and renew the ruined cities, the

devastations of many generations. 5 Aliens shall stand [ready] and feed your flocks, and foreigners shall be your ploughmen and your vinedressers. 6 But you shall be called the priests of the Lord; people will speak of you as the ministers of our God. You shall eat the wealth of the nations, and the glory [once that of your captors] shall be yours. [Exod. 19:6; I Pet. 2:5; Rev. 1:6; 5:10; 20:6.] 7 Instead of your [former] shame you shall have a twofold recompense; instead of dishonour and reproach [your people] shall rejoice in their portion. Therefore in their land they shall possess double [what they had forfeited]; everlasting joy shall be theirs. 8 For Me the Lord love justice; I hate robbery and wrong with violence or a burnt offering. And I will faithfully give them their recompense in truth, and I will make an everlasting covenant or league with them. 9 And their offspring shall be known among the nations and their descendants among the peoples. All who see them [in their prosperity] will recognize and acknowledge that they are the people whom the Lord has blessed. 10 I will greatly rejoice in the Lord, my soul will exult in my God; for He has clothed me with the garments of salvation, He has covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decks himself with a garland, and as a bride adorns herself with her jewels. 11 For as [surely as] the earth brings forth its shoots, and as a garden causes what is sown in it to spring forth, so [surely] the Lord God will cause rightness and justice and praise to spring forth before all the nations [through the self-fulfilling power of His word]. (Isa 61:1-11) Ampl God confirmed that He has anointed us to preach and 2 To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord [the year of His favour] and the day of vengeance of our God, to comfort all who mourn, [Matt. 11:2-6; Luke 4:18, 19; 7:22.] 3 To grant [consolation and joy] to those who mourn in Zion--to give them an ornament (a garland or diadem) of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of joy

instead of mourning, the garment [expressive] of praise instead of a heavy, burdened, and failing spirit--that they may be called oaks of righteousness [lofty, strong, and magnificent, distinguished for uprightness, justice, and right standing with God], the planting of the Lord, that He may be glorified. (Isa 61:2-3) Ampl On the 12th of March 2002, the second day of preparation for the fast, my bother and I went to pray in a park again, spending time together, waiting and watching to see what the Lord Jesus wanted to reveal to us. As we started praying, signs appeared in the heavens, in front of both of us. God showed us many signs explaining those things which are happening in the earth and those things which the prophets have written about long ago, prophesying to this generation.

A large sign of a scorpion and a large dragon appeared in the western sky. As we looked towards the south, looking out over the city of Pretoria, we saw a sign of a large question mark

appear in the sky. As we looked back towards the western sky, another sign appeared. An inverted question mark appeared over the west. God asked us the questions which we were asking in our hearts. We had many unanswered questions, since Jesus appeared to us on the 9th of May 2001. We wondered who the Anti-Christ will be and when all these things would come to pass. We wondered about our role and purpose and when the time would come that all that Jesus had promised us would come to pass? When our ministry would commence? We wondered whether we should fast for 40 days and what would be the out come of all these things? As we were wondering about these questions, which came up in our hearts, a great sign appeared in the heavens. We saw the arm of a

man reaching to heaven until it could reach no further. Then the arm seemed to detach itself from the body, in order to reach even higher up to heaven. Then we saw the glory of God appear the in the heavens above the arm holding a great hammer in his hand. This sign reminded us of a picture in the book, Fasting Prayer from Franklin Hall, which we have been reading. Mr Franklin explains that prayer and the human effort can take a man only that far in your breakthrough before God, but fasting, takes one that extra distance which is not humanly possible. We concluded that God was encouraging us to fast and trust Him to do the rest. After this many signs appeared in the sky. God was explaining many things which were hard to understand. The sign of a large peacock with the wings of an eagle, flying in the sky appeared to us. It had under its body another smaller bird hanging underneath it. This sign looked like a B 52-Stratofortress bomber being refuelled by a DC 10. The B-52H BUFF [Big Ugly Fat Fellow] is the primary nuclear roled bomber in the USAF inventory. It provides the only Air Launch Cruise Missile carriage in the USAF. The B-52H also provides theater CINCs with a long range strike capability. The bomber is capable of flying at high subsonic speeds at altitudes up to 50,000 feet (15,166.6 meters). It can carry nuclear or conventional ordnance with worldwide precision navigation capability.

The aircraft's flexibility was evident during the Vietnam War and, again, in Operation Desert Storm. B-52s struck wide-area troop concentrations, fixed installations and bunkers, and decimated the morale of

Iraq's Republican Guard. The Gulf War involved the longest strike mission in the history of aerial warfare when B-52s took off from Barksdale Air Force Base, La., launched conventional air launched cruise missiles and returned to Barksdale - a 35-hour, non-stop combat mission.

After this another sign appeared in the sky. A man appeared who reached his arm to heaven and shot an arrow using a large bow that was given to him as is written: 2 And I looked, and saw there a white horse whose rider carried a bow. And a crown was given him, and he rode forth conquering and to conquer. [Ps. 45:4, 5; Zech. 1:8; 6:1-3.] (Rev 6:2) Ampl After this another sign appeared in the heaven of a crocodile that prostituted itself with the Beast. Then the Beast devoured the crocodile and gave birth to a man having two arms that grew like vines. Out the belly of the beast, came a man. We saw two arms which came forth first. Above this abdominal sign appeared a goat with two horns, having the tail of a tadpole. The goat jumped without touching the ground towards the west, but when it landed, the ram’s head landed. The goat pretend to be what he was not. The goat pretended to be a ram. Then another sign appeared, explaining the former sign. We saw a submarine, submerging under the Pacific Ocean, travelling from east to west. We saw how this submarine fired a torpedo towards the west. The nations of the west, the United States of America, and the nation of Egypt will make an ungodly alliance, but this alliance will bring the destruction of Egypt, who will step into a trap. They will be deceived and be brought to a fall. This alliance however will give birth to a man having two arms that grew like vines, the Anti-Christ, just like Daniel had seen in a vision, which

God had shown him, as is written: 3 And I lifted up my eyes and saw, and behold, there stood before the river a [single] ram which had two horns [representing two kings of Medo-Persia: Darius the Mede, then Cyrus]; and the two horns were high, but one [Persia] was higher than the other, and the higher one came up last. 4 I looked and saw the ram [Medo-Persia] pushing and charging westward and northward and southward; no beast could stand before him, neither could anyone rescue from his power, but he did according to his [own] will and pleasure and magnified himself. [Dan. 8:20.] 5 As I was considering, behold, a he-goat [the king of Greece] came from the west across the face of the whole earth without touching the ground, and the goat had a conspicuous and remarkable horn between his eyes [symbolizing Alexander the Great]. [Dan. 8:21.] 6 And he came to the ram that had the two horns which I had seen standing on the bank of the river and ran at him in the heat of his power. 7 [In my vision] I saw him come close to the ram [Medo-Persia], and he was moved with anger against him and he [Alexander the Great] struck the ram and broke his two horns; and there was no power in the ram to stand before him, but the goat threw him to the ground and trampled on him. And there was no one who could rescue the ram from his power. 8 And the he-goat [Alexander the Great] magnified himself exceedingly, and when he was [young and] strong, the great horn [he] was [suddenly] broken; and instead of [him] there came up four notable horns [to whom the kingdom was divided, one] toward [each of] the four winds of the heavens. 9 Out of littleness and small beginnings one of them came forth [Antiochus Epiphanes], a horn whose [impious presumption and pride] grew exceedingly great toward the south and toward the east and toward the ornament [the precious, blessed

land of Israel]. [Dan. 8:23.] 10 And [in my vision this horn] grew great, even against the host of heaven [God's true people, the saints], and some of the host and of the stars [priests] it cast down to the ground and trampled on them, 11 Yes, [this horn] magnified itself, even [matching itself] against the Prince of the host [of heaven]; and from Him the continual [burnt offering] was taken away and the place of [God's] sanctuary was cast down and profaned. 12 And the host [the chosen people] was given [to the wicked horn] together with the continual burnt offering because of the transgression [of God's people--their abounding irreverence, ungodliness, and lack of piety]. And righteousness and truth were cast down to the ground, and it [the wicked horn] accomplished this [by divine permission] and prospered. 13 Then I heard a holy one speaking, and another holy one said to the one that spoke, For how long is the vision concerning the continual offering, the transgression that makes desolate, and the giving over of both the sanctuary and the host [of the people] to be trampled underfoot? [Luke 21:24.] 14 And he said to him and to me, For 2,300 evenings and mornings; then the sanctuary shall be cleansed and restored. (Dan 8:3-14) Ampl Out of the he-goat, with one conspicuous horn between its eyes, which had been broken off, came another horn that pushed the nations toward the south and toward the east and toward the land of Israel. The little horn made alliance with the nations of the south west, the east and Israel forming the goat with its tail like a tadpole, and would cause their destruction and fall. See the prophecy: The Smouldering Mountain. The little horn would magnify himself and set himself up as god in the temple of Jerusalem, ending sacrifices made to the God of heaven, but calling all men to worship him as their god. This power would be a

deceiving and cunning power that is very treacherous towards those who trusted in him, to those who were unexpectantly being misled, as was prophesied by the prophet Isaiah: 21 And in his place or office [in Syria] shall arise a contemptuous and contemptible person, to whom royal majesty and honour of the kingdom have not been given. But he shall come in without warning in time of security and shall obtain the kingdom by flatteries, intrigues, and cunning hypocritical conduct. [Dan. 8:9-12, 23-25.] 22 Before him the overwhelming forces of invading armies shall be broken and utterly swept away; yes, and a prince of the covenant [with those who were at peace with him] also [shall be broken and swept away]. 23 And from the time that an alliance is made with him he shall work deceitfully, and he shall come up unexpectedly and shall become strong with a small people. 24 Without warning and stealthily he shall come into the most productive places of a province or among the richest men of a province [of Egypt], and he shall do that which his fathers have not done nor his fathers' fathers; he shall distribute among them plunder, spoil, and goods. He shall devise plans against strongholds, but only for a time [the period decreed by God]. 25 And he shall stir up his power and his courage against the king of the South [Egypt] with a great army; and the king of the South shall wage war with an exceedingly great and mighty army, but he shall not stand, for schemes shall be devised against [the king of the South]. 26 Yes, those who eat of his rich and dainty food shall break and destroy him, and his army shall drift or turn away to flee, and many shall fall down slain. 27 And as for both of these kings, their hearts and minds shall be set on doing mischief; they shall speak lies over the same table, but it will not succeed, for

the end is yet to be at the time appointed. 28 Then shall [the vile conqueror from the North] return into his land with much booty; and his heart and purpose shall be set against [God's] holy covenant [with His people], and he shall accomplish [his malicious intention] and return to his own land [Syria]. 29 At the time appointed [God's own time] he shall return and come into the South, but it shall not be successful as were the former invasions [of Egypt]. 30 For the ships of Kittim [or Cyprus, in Roman hands] shall come against him; therefore he shall be grieved and discouraged and turn back [to Palestine] and carry out his rage and indignation against the holy covenant and God's people, and he shall do his own pleasure; he shall even turn back and make common cause with those [Jews] who abandon the holy covenant [with God]. 31 And armed forces of his shall appear [in the holy land] and they shall pollute the sanctuary, the [spiritual] stronghold, and shall take away the continual [daily burnt offering]; and they shall set up [in the sanctuary] the

abomination that astonishes and makes desolate [probably an altar to a pagan god]. 32 And such as violate the covenant he shall pervert and seduce with flatteries, but the people who know their God shall prove themselves strong and shall stand firm and do exploits [for God]. 33 And they who are wise and understanding among the people shall instruct many and make them understand, though some [of them and their followers] shall fall by the sword and flame, by captivity and plunder, for many days. 34 Now when they fall, they shall receive a little help. Many shall join themselves to them with flatteries and hypocrisies. 35 And some of those who are wise, prudent, and understanding shall be weakened and fall, [thus, then, the insincere among the people will lose courage and become deserters. It

will be a test] to refine, to purify, and to make those among [God's people] white, even to the time of the end, because it is yet for the time [God] appointed. 36 And the king shall do according to his will; he shall exalt himself and magnify himself above every god and shall speak astonishing things against the God of gods and shall prosper till the indignation be accomplished, for that which is determined [by God] shall be done. 37 He shall not regard the gods of his fathers or Him [to Whom] women desire [to give birth--the Messiah] or any other god, for he shall magnify himself above all. 38 But in their place he shall honour the god of fortresses; a god whom his fathers knew not shall he honour with gold and silver, with precious stones, and with pleasant and expensive things. 39 And he shall deal with the strongest fortresses by the help of a foreign god. Those who acknowledge him he shall magnify with glory and honour, and he shall cause them to rule over many and shall divide the land for a price. 40 And at the time of the end the king of the South shall push at and attack him, and the king of the North shall come against him like a whirlwind, with chariots and horsemen and with many ships; and he shall enter into the countries and shall overflow and pass through. 41 He shall enter into the Glorious Land [Palestine] and many shall be overthrown, but these shall be delivered out of his hand: Edom, Moab, and the main [core] of the people of Ammon. 42 He shall stretch out his hand also against the [other] countries, but the land of Egypt shall not be among the escaped ones. 43 But he shall have power over the treasures of gold and of silver and over all the precious things of Egypt, and the Libyans and the Ethiopians shall accompany him [compelled to follow his steps]. 44 But rumours from the east and from the north shall alarm and hasten him.

shall go forth with great fury to destroy and utterly to sweep away many. 45 And he shall pitch his palatial tents between the seas and the glorious holy Mount [Zion]; yet he shall come to his end with none to help him. [II Thess. 2:4; Rev. 13:5-8.] (Dan 11:21-45) Ampl And 1 The mournful, inspired prediction (a burden to be lifted up) concerning the Desert of the Sea [which was Babylon after great dams were raised to control the waters of the Euphrates River which overflowed it like a sea--and would do so again]: As whirlwinds in the South (the Negeb) sweep through, so it [the judgment of God by hostile armies] comes from the desert, from a terrible land. 2 A hard and grievous vision is declared to me: the treacherous dealer deals treacherously, and the destroyer destroys. Go up, O Elam! Besiege, O Media! All the sighing [caused by Babylon's ruthless oppressions] I will cause to cease [says the Lord]. [Isa. 11:11; 13:17.] (Isa 21:1-2) Ampl John the apostle also saw a goat having two horns as is written: 11 Then I saw another beast rising up out of the land [itself]; he had two horns like a lamb, and he spoke (roared) like a dragon. 12 He exerts all the power and right of control of the former beast in his presence, and causes the earth and those who dwell upon it to exalt and deify the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed, and to worship him. (Rev 13:11-12) Ampl This person, called the Anti-Christ, will act like a lamb, but will speak like a dragon. He will pretend to be a peace loving and gentle person, but his real colours will show when He will be given the power of right and to control the world. The Lord Jesus revealed this sign to us, confirming that this power was still in its

infantile stage and had not fully come to power yet, only having a tail of a tadpole. Very early the next day, which was the third day of preparation for the 40 day fast, on the 13th of March, my brother and I went to pray and to wait on the Lord Jesus Christ. On our way towards the mountain of prayer we were singing and praising God, because of all the wondrous things which He has shown us. When we came to the place of prayer the Holy Spirit gave us a riddle, which God had posed to the prophet Ezekiel, as was written: 2 Son of man, put forth a riddle and speak a parable or allegory to the house of Israel; 3 Say, Thus says the Lord God: A great eagle [Nebuchadnezzar] with great wings and long pinions, rich in feathers of various colours, came to Lebanon [symbolic of Jerusalem] and took the top of the cedar [tree]. 4 He broke off the topmost of its young twigs [the youthful King Jehoiachin] and carried it into a land of trade [Babylon]; he set it in a city of merchants. 5 He took also of the seedlings of the land [Zedekiah, one of the native royal family] and planted it in fertile soil and a fruitful field; he placed it beside abundant waters and set it as a willow tree [to succeed Zedekiah's nephew Jehoiachin in Judah as vassal king]. 6 And it grew and became a spreading vine of low [not Davidic] stature, whose branches turned [in submission] toward him, and its roots remained under and subject to him [the king of Babylon]; so it became a vine and brought forth branches and shot forth leafy twigs. 7 There was also another great eagle [the Egyptian king] with great wings and many feathers; and behold, this vine [Zedekiah] bent its roots [languishingly] toward him and shot forth its branches toward him, away from the beds of its

planting, for him to water. 8 Though it was planted in good soil where water was plentiful for it to produce leaves and to bear fruit, it was transplanted, that it might become a splendid vine. 9 Thus says the Lord God: Ask, Will it thrive? Will he [the insulted Nebuchadnezzar] not pluck up its roots and strip off its fruit so that all its fresh sprouting leaves will wither? It will not take a strong arm or many people to pluck it up by its roots [totally ending Israel's national existence]. [II Kings 25:1-7.] 10 Yes, behold, though transplanted, will it prosper? Will it not utterly wither when the east wind touches it? It will wither in the furrows and beds where it sprouted and grew. [Hos. 13:9-12, 15.] (Eze 17:2-10) Ampl God gave the interpretation of this riddle to Ezekiel saying: 12 Say now to the rebellious house, Do you not know and realize what these things mean? Tell them, Behold, the king of Babylon came to Jerusalem and took its king [Jehoiachin] and its princes and brought them with him to Babylon. [II Kings 24:11-16.] 13 And he took one of the royal family [the king's uncle, Zedekiah] and made a covenant with him, putting him under oath. He also took the mighty and chief men of the land, [II Kings 24:17.] 14 That the kingdom might become low and base and be unable to lift itself up, but that by keeping his [Nebuchadnezzar's] covenant it might stand. 15 But he [Zedekiah] rebelled against him [Nebuchadnezzar] in sending his ambassadors into Egypt, that they might give him horses and much people. Will he prosper? Will he

escape who does such things? Can he break the covenant with [Babylon] and yet escape? 16 As I live, says the Lord God, surely in the place where the king [Nebuchadnezzar] dwells who made [Zedekiah as vassal] king, whose oath [Zedekiah] despised and whose covenant he broke, even with him in the midst of Babylon shall [Zedekiah] die. 17 Neither shall Pharaoh with his mighty army and great company help him in the war when the [Babylonians] cast up mounds and build forts to destroy many lives. 18 For [Zedekiah] despised the oath and broke the covenant and behold, he had given his hand, and yet has done all these things; he shall not escape. 19 Therefore thus says the Lord God: As I live, surely My oath [made for Me by Nebuchadnezzar] that [Zedekiah] has despised and My covenant with him that he has broken, I will even bring down on his own head. 20 And I will spread My net over him, and he shall be taken in My snare; and I will bring him to Babylon and will enter into judgment and punishment with him there for his trespass and treason that he has committed against Me. 21 And all his fugitives [from Judah] in all his bands shall fall by the sword, and they that remain shall be scattered toward every wind. And you shall know (understand and realize) that I the Lord have spoken it. 22 Thus says the Lord God: I Myself will take a twig from the lofty top of the cedar and will set it out; I will crop off from the topmost of its young twigs a tender one and will plant it upon a mountain high and exalted. [Isa. 11:1, 10; 53:2; Jer. 23:5; Zech. 3:8.] 23 On the mountain height of Israel will I plant it, that it may bring forth boughs and bear fruit and be a noble cedar, and under it shall dwell all birds of every feather; in the shade of its branches they shall nestle and find rest. 24 And all the trees of the field shall know (understand and realize) that I the Lord have

brought low the high tree, have exalted the low tree, have dried up the green tree, and have made the dry tree flourish. I the Lord have spoken, and I will do it. (Eze 17:12-24) Ampl As I read this riddle and its interpretation of Ezekiel the prophet and intercessor, the Holy Spirit opened my understanding to the riddle. This riddle was the direct interpretation of the signs, which God had shown both of us the day before. The great eagle with great wings, longwinded, full of feathers, which had diverse colours, resembles the pride of the leaders of the United States who came to Israel, and made an agreement or an alliance with them. In making the alliance, Israel’s young and upcoming leaders were taken to a country of trade, to the country of the United States of America. They were taken to a city of merchants, New York. The alliance also included trade with the royal family of this nation. An agreement to train the royal family was made so that one of them could succeed the current leader of this country. They were taken to a place with fertile soil and a fruitful field where they can grow and become strong. They were also given land and a place of honour. They were taken to a place beside abundant waters, Washington DC, where the presidential headquarters, the White House are situated. Then a vine came forth, which was submissive towards the leaders of the west, but was still rooted in its old ways of trade and agreement. And it grew, and became a spreading vine of low stature, whose branches turned toward him, and the roots thereof were under him. He made an alliance with two nations in the southwest - Venezuela and Brazil. So it became a strong vine, and brought forth branches, and shot forth sprigs. The riddle continued, referring to another great eagle with great wings and many feathers, the King of Egypt and behold, this vine did bend her roots, Venezuela

and Brazil, toward him, and shot forth her branches toward him, that he might water it by the furrows of her plantation. The vine, with which an alliance was made in the west, started to make trading agreements between South America and the king of Egypt. By doing this he gained power and influence from Egypt by trading in oil, weapons and forming coalition forces to strengthen him in battle. This vine or man shifted his devotion and commit towards the nation of Egypt, dealing treacherously with those in power in the United States of America, with whom he had a contract. When his betrayal was found out the leaders of the west, in the United States of America, with whom he had made an agreement, will be very angry at him and will destroy him for his treason. Then he and his descendants will utterly wither away as when the east wind blows upon it? It will wither in the furrows and beds where it sprouted and grew. When he is found out the King of Egypt with his mighty army and great company will come up to make war against the west, The will besiege and surround the strongholds, building forts, and cut off many people, but he will not be able escape. This treachery will trigger a devastating war between the east and the west, which will wither the place of birth of the one with whom the agreement was made. This broken covenant will be the trigger that brought forth the birth of the rule of the Anti-Christ. God will set a trap and a snare for the unfaithful vine, which made an ungodly contract with the nations of Egypt, Brazil and Venezuela, for thus says the Lord God: “As I live, surely mine oath that he hath despised, and my covenant that he hath broken, even it will I recompense upon his own head. And I will spread my net upon him, and he shall

be taken in my snare, and I will bring him to Babylon, and will plead with him there for his trespass that he hath trespassed against me. And all his fugitives with all his bands shall fall by the sword, and they that remain shall be scattered toward all winds: and ye shall know that I the LORD have spoken it.” On the 14th of March 2002, the first day of the fast, we arrived at a deserted place, next to a large dam on the north of the city of Pretoria, the place predestined by God, which He had foretold on the 19th of September 2001. See the prophecy: The Smouldering Mountain. We pitched out tent and stayed there for the duration of the fast. During that same night my brother had a dream. In his dream we were knighted by the Lord Jesus. In his dream we had to draw our swords, which were sheathed on our backs. We had to lay them on the ground in front of us, bow down low before the King of kings. Both of us wore white robes. Coming from a bright light in front of us came voice declaring: “You are now knighted!” From the directors: “The Witness”
