He that has an ear, let him hear... June -July 2015

(Prov 6:9, 11)

How long will you slumber, O sluggard? When will you rise from your

sleep? ...So shall your poverty come on you like a prowler, And your need

like an armed man. (All Scripture verses are from the NKJV unless otherwise noted)

e face threats daily that are as deadly as they are incomprehensible.

Life seems so normal, yet the course of the world is leading us right

into the abyss. This insanity comes from somewhere, a ‘somewhere’

that defies analysis until you understand that it has a religious foundation. That

religion worships Lucifer, and it wants YOU to be one of his worshipers.

that the Bible calls “PERILOUS times that will be “PERILOUS times that will be

seriously and this includes professing Christians. It’s as if they don’t really

believe that Satan is all that bad, or all that powerful. They treat Satan as just

some really bad being, who is fighting God and doing his best to subvert

Christianity. This is one of his agenda’s but not his main agenda. Let’s face it,

God’s ‘church model’ works exceptionally well, so it should not surprise us

that Satan would counterfeit it as well. There are many counterfeit churches

out there that call themselves “Christian”—but knowingly or unknowingly

they have given themselves over to worshipping the “angel of light”—Lucifer

himself.

As far as conspiracies go…to most it just doesn’t make sense that there is

some ‘grand world wide conspiracy’ of Satan’s at work—and to these people,

their sense of disbelief is aided by those describing Satan’s conspiraciesconspiracies as

mere “theories.” Why? Because they either do not want to see the real reasons

behind those conspiracies, or they just can’t imagine Satan’s grand scale of

evil—which he is desperate to accomplish. Satan, which deceives the whole

world… is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knows

that he has but a short time. (Rev 12:9, 12)

The vast number of books that so accurately describe the evil powers that

are rising to take control of our world… often neglect to mention the glueglue that

holds all these conspiracies together. Satan’s glue is founded upon a religion

that makes his ‘grand conspiracy’ work. Satan has had thousands of years to

use this glue, and when we begin to understand what Satan is doing, we begin

to see the signs of his work, everywhere.

I understand for many professing Christians that Satan’s evil is difficult to

imagine—but, we need to understand that this evil does exist and is the reason

for the insanity in our world! Furthermore, Satan doesn’t WANT you to know

about his evil conspiracies. He wants to keep you sleeping peacefully, until

his agents come knocking on your door, to take you away!

Ayn Rand, a Russian-born American novelist, philosopher, playwright,

and screenwriter—once said something profound that we all need to

understand, she said:

We can ignore reality, but we cannot ignore the consequences of ignoring

reality.– Ayn Rand

Poor Ayn. She ignored Christ (our ultimate reality), and she now pays an

eternal price for ignoring the most important reality of all. When I look

around, I see so many Christians who are not facing reality—living under a

false sense of securityfalse sense of security—simply because they are ignorant concerning end time

events or because they are spiritual sluggards—or both! Those in this place

need a good dose of alarming reality, just to get them to open their eyes to

what is really going on in this world. We have all been too ignorant of Evil

for far, far too long. God has come knocking at our door, to warn us of the

Evil that is coming and, many aren’t paying attention. In the coming days,

months and years, we will come to shake our heads at the willful ignorance

that we once had. We will curse our foolishness, because we chose not to see

what was obvious—if we had been watchingwatching.

This is one reason God is going to bring crushing judgments upon this

nation. He wants to awaken His people who are living under a false sense of

security. Those who are awake have been and are continuing to be alerted by

God to prepare for immanent times of trouble. This is the reason I was called

by the Lord to create the TRUMPET SOUNDS NewsletterTRUMPET SOUNDS Newsletter. God’s people

need to see beyond their rose colored glasses.

From it’s inception in April of 2010, this newsletter has since gathered

together Christians who are interested in understanding the prophetic “times

and the seasons” in which we find ourselves. Many, like myself were taught

erroneous things concerning end time events, which have given them a false

sense of security or a false way of seeing prophetic events. However, those,

like myself—who are also hungry for God’s word and place it above all else

as the number one priority in their lives—are hearing clearly concerning the

end times. Like myself, they are being alerted to prepare for their protection

and provision for impending times of

chaos and danger. We need to believe the

Scriptures in order to prepare and be

counted worthy to escape coming times of

great trouble, heartache and hardship!

Jesus said this:

Watch therefore, and pray always

that you may be counted worthycounted worthy

to escapeescape all these things (the great

tribulation events that were

mentioned in this chapter) that will

come to pass, and also to stand

before the Son of Man." (Luke

21:36) (parenthesis mine).

Tribulation

The word escape escape in the above verse is NOT referring to being raptured or

taken out of the prophesied time of tribulation, which Jesus was talking about

in the preceding verses of that chapter. The word escapeescape in the Greek text is

the word (Strong's 1628) ekpheugo (ek-fyoo'-go) and according to Thayer's

Lexicon it means to seek safety by moving hastilyseek safety by moving hastily, CWSD (Complete Word

Studies Dictionary): says it means to run away from dangerto run away from danger. The word

“escape” then, is talking about having a safe place to run to when in danger.

Many survivalists who are preparing for imminent dangerous times of chaos,

call this “bugging out.”

Over and over again the New Testament writers talk about the need to

endure endure suffering. According to my Webster's Dictionary—to endure means to

Page 4: Prepared and Protected · 2020. 5. 7. · His protection and His provision—for those who know Him—love Him and trust Him—during these end days that the Bible calls “PERILOUS

TRUMPET SOUNDS Newsletter 4

undergo something—and it also means—to continue to exist. To Endure

suffering can mean different things to different people. For some, not having

the modern conveniences of life — such as no electricity, gas, or cell phones,

computers, or TV’s— means real suffering. On the other hand, there is no

question that suffering occurs when people have no means to obtain food or

other resources for physical survival. Then of course, there is suffering

associated with physical pain and health issues. However, the need for

endurance during times of suffering, which the New Testament writers spoke

about—is not talking about just remaining happy, healthy and alive. The

endurance they were stressing was related to keeping the existence of our keeping the existence of our

faith in God and His Wordfaith in God and His Word—as we willingly endure times of suffering.

Let’s face it, it’s only when we must undergo times of great suffering as

Christians, that we find out how sincere our faith in God and His word really

is. Many professing Christians do not have genuine faith in God and His word

that enables them to endure great suffering—with great joy. Instead they have

pseudo faith because of false teaching. This means they will fall prey to

compromise or doing whatever it takes to alleviate their physical or emotional

suffering when times of real hardship befall them—unless they allow trouble

to become a time of blessing.

Jesus said that only those who only those who endureendure until the end would be saveduntil the end would be saved and

also be found worthy to stand before Him at His return (Matt 10:22-23). Many

Christians fail to understand that endurance is developed by going through

times of trouble. Many are not willing to embrace suffering, instead they do

whatever it takes to fix it, alleviate it or avoid it. When God’s people run

away or try to escape times of trouble by doing things “their way”—rather

than walking through their “valley of the shadow of death” with God, their

faith remains weak and untested. I can tell you from my own personal

experience that times of trouble are truly a blessing—when we walk through

them with God.

Dear brothers and sisters, whenever trouble comes your way, whenever trouble comes your way,

let it be an opportunity for let it be an opportunity for joyjoy. For when your faith is tested,

your endurance has a chance to develop... So let it grow, for

when your endurance is fully developed, you will be strong in

character and ready for anything.(James 1:2-4) NLT

Every true saint of God must have their faith “tried” through suffering in

order to be able to endure and be counted worthy by God to enter His eternal

kingdom. The ministry God has given to me is all about “...strengthening the

souls of disciples, (by) exhorting them to continue in the faithto continue in the faith, and telling

them, "We must We must through many tribulations enter the kingdom of through many tribulations enter the kingdom of

GodGod." (Acts 14:22) (parenthesis mine).

Our faith can only become genuine faith by being put to the test. Only

those whose faith is purified by fiery trials will be able to enter God’s

Kingdom. This end time generation of professing Christians is THE most self

5 July 2015

-indulgent and self-centered generation that has ever existed upon the planet

earth—just as the Apostle Paul told Timothy it would be (2 Tim 3:1-5). It is

also one of the most undiscerning and deceived! This is the main reason why,

God is going to see to that those who profess to have faith in Christ are going

to have their faith tested by many judgments that will take place before the

return of Jesus Christ to gather His Saints from off the earth. The Apostle

Paul said this:

...for your patience and faith in (during) all your

persecutions and tribulations that you endure (suffer)...

which (suffering persecutions and tribulations) is manifest manifest

evidence evidence (an indication) of the righteous judgment of Godof the righteous judgment of God, so

that you may be counted worthy of the kingdom of Godcounted worthy of the kingdom of God, for

which you also suffer... (vs. 6) since it is a righteous thing

with God to repay with tribulation those who trouble you...

(vs. 7) and to give you who are troubled rest with us when the and to give you who are troubled rest with us when the

Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven with His mighty angelsLord Jesus is revealed from heaven with His mighty angels...

in flaming fire taking vengeance on those who do not know

God, and on those who do not obey the gospel of our Lord

Jesus Christ... These shall be punished with everlasting de-

struction from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of

His power... when He comes, in that Day, to be glorified in

His saints... (2 Thess 1:4-10) (parenthesis mine).

If you study (vs. 6-7) of the above text in the original Greek, you will find

that Paul is more literally saying in (vs. 6): It is a righteous act of God to

“repay” or to render —which Webster's Dictionary defines as: presenting

something for consideration. What God is rendering rendering or presenting for our

consideration in the above text is the distressing pressure that comes during

tribulation. Trouble is never pleasant—in fact it’s downright unpleasant—but

when trouble becomes a distressing pressure upon usdistressing pressure upon us—God wants us to

consider the (reason for) the tribulation —then we can rest in the fact that our

hope is in the return of Jesus!

Facing the truth of what God has revealed to us concerning these

troubling end times—is something I find many Christians do not want to

think about. When I speak of some of the very disturbing end time events that

are happening right now, it truly distresses them and they really don’t want to

hear about how things are escalating into some very dangerous situations (just

as God’s word accurately describes). Far too many go into a denial mode and

try to refute or ignore the facts. As a result, those in denial will not be

prepared to survive real times of crisis that God’s watchmen have been

warning us about for many years now. There are those, like Noah, who have

been preparing for God’s judgment for many years—while the nay sayers call

them alarmists, fanatics, conspiracy nuts or worse.

Those who do have ears to hear what God is saying to His people, are part

Page 6: Prepared and Protected · 2020. 5. 7. · His protection and His provision—for those who know Him—love Him and trust Him—during these end days that the Bible calls “PERILOUS

TRUMPET SOUNDS Newsletter 6

of the end time community known as the remnant—these dear ones are who I

pray for and write for. There are times I am told by those who read what I’ve

written, who say they have been jolted and awakened to a truth—because of

what I shared from the Scriptures in a particular article—I truly praise God

for this! On the other hand there are many who read what God has given me

to write… and it has very little—if any impact upon their hearts. This is

because they have become spiritual sluggards. sluggards. Spiritual sluggards are

spiritually lazy people, they are too preoccupied with what pleases their own

selves to become disciplined in Bible study and communion with God. . How

long will you slumber, O sluggardsluggard? When will you rise from your

sleep? ...So shall your poverty come on you like a prowler, And your need

like an armed man. (Prov 6:9, 11)

The word sluggard sluggard in this text is the Hebrew word (Strong's 6102) `atsel

(aw-tsale'). The CWSD says: as an adjective this word describes people who

take no initiative take no initiative (Prov 19:24); don't do tasks on time don't do tasks on time (Prov 20:4); or will not will not

work work (Prov 21:25). Instead they create imaginary excuses create imaginary excuses (Prov 22:13). Thus,

their wealth and health deteriorate wealth and health deteriorate (Prov 24:30); but they still consider but they still consider

themselves wise themselves wise (Prov 26:13-16). The verb form of this word is (Strong's

6101) `atsal (aw-tsal'); CWSD: says it means to hesitatehesitate, to delaydelay, to not act. to not act.

In other words a sluggard is a procrastinator. procrastinator. Thus, a sluggard will not act

upon God’s words of warning nor take the time to do what it takes to grow in

true wisdom and discernment.

As I said previously—God is going to give many “ spiritual sluggards”

a very rude awakening—because of their spiritual apathy and complacent

attitude towards His Word—which has failed to rouse them to action. They

will not be spared punishing judgment because of their sluggish attitude

towards the warnings given by those who receive and proclaim God’s word.

A spiritual sluggard is unconcerned with what they are being warned about—

thus they will not find God’s protection and provision when He brings forth

the sword (judgment)... All the sinners of My people shall die by the

sword, those who say, 'That calamity shall not overtake or confront

us.' (Amos 9:10)

Like Israel during the time of the Prophet Amos, many of God’s people

are going to perish when God brings judgment upon the land, because they

are living in a false sense of securityfalse sense of security. Many are in this place because they, like

I was, have been taught and have come to believe (which I no longer do) that

they will not have to experience the prophesied end-time great tribulation—

they believe that calamity shall not overtake or confront them'… because

they are going to be raptured out of it all. As a result, those who do not

rightly discern what the Bible does teach are not going to be prepared for the

judgments God has ordained. Therefore my people will go into exile

(become captives) for lack of understanding (discernment); their men of

rank will die of hunger and their masses will be parched with thirst …In

that day the arrogant will be brought down to the dust; the proud will be

Page 7: Prepared and Protected · 2020. 5. 7. · His protection and His provision—for those who know Him—love Him and trust Him—during these end days that the Bible calls “PERILOUS

7 July 2015

humbled. (Isa 5:13, 15) (parenthesis mine).

Notice it is the arrogant and the proud who die of hunger and thirst.

Prideful people are not teachable or honest people. Therefore, just as it was in

the days of Old Testament Israel—there are many among God’s people today

who are arrogant and who also refuse to believe God will bring judgment

upon them—not matter how many warnings they are given.

Not Appointed to Wrath

It is Biblically true that the righteous saints of God are not appointed to

the end time wrath of God that will fall during the end of the great tribulation

period—when the final 7 bowl judgments in (Rev 16) are poured out upon the

unrepentant sinners—who are appointed to God’s wrathGod’s wrath.

“...how you turned to God from idols to serve the living and

true God... and to wait for His Son from heaven, whom He

raised from the dead, even Jesus who delivers us from the even Jesus who delivers us from the

wrath to come.”wrath to come.” (1 Thess 1:9-10)

For God did not appoint us to wrathFor God did not appoint us to wrath, but to obtain salvation

through our Lord Jesus Christ. (1 Thess 5:9)

The Bible clearly states that ALL people—including God’s people who

are living upon the earth in the days before the return of Jesus —will

experience the wrath of Satan wrath of Satan that will be poured out upon the earth through

the power given to antichrist.

Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them.

Woe to the inhibiters of the earth and of the sea! for the

devil is come down unto you, having great wrathhaving great wrath, because he

knows that he hath but a short time... (Rev 12:12) KJV

It was granted to him (antichrist) to make war with the

saints and to overcome them. And authority was given him

over every tribe, tongue, and nation. (Rev 13:7) (parenthesis

mine).

True saints are under God’s protection and provision—but only if they but only if they

adhere to the truth.adhere to the truth. Truth exposing erroneous doctrines and sin that has in-

vaded modern Christianity—has not been proclaimed from the mouths of

most ministers or from the majority of pulpits across this nation for

generations. Thus, Zion (an O.T. term that depicts the Bride of Christ) is in

ruin! It is beyond repair—just as God proclaimed to His O.T. people—

because of the false and flattering visions of false ministers who have failed to

show the church her sin and now only a prophesied remnant remains faithful

to the truth. Lack of truth is the moral cause for the misfortune and

destruction that multitudes of spiritually sluggish Christians are going to face.

Unfortunately the mainstream Church of this age is in the same state that Old

Page 8: Prepared and Protected · 2020. 5. 7. · His protection and His provision—for those who know Him—love Him and trust Him—during these end days that the Bible calls “PERILOUS

TRUMPET SOUNDS Newsletter 8

Testament Israel was in when they were given over to the judgment of God.

Hear the cry of the O.T. prophet—which is the same as the true prophetic

watchmen of God now:

My eyes fail with tears, My heart is troubled ... Because of the

destruction of the daughter of my people… O virgin daughter of

Zion… your ruin is spread wide ... Who can heal you? ...Your

prophets have seen for you false and deceptive visions; They have

not uncovered your iniquity... But have envisioned for you false

prophecies and delusions. (Lam 2:12-14)

Only those who know the truth and follow the truth will be kept safe

from the evil of Satan’s wrath in these end times. Jesus knew His true

followers would have to face the wrath of Satan—but He didn’t ask God to

rapture them out of the world so they wouldn’t suffer his evil wrath—instead

He prayed this for His followers:

I have given them your wordyour word. And the world hates them

because they do not belong to the world, just as I do not...

I'm I'm notnot asking you to take them out of the world,asking you to take them out of the world, but to

keep them safe from the evil one... They are not part of this

world any more than I am... Make them pure and holy by Make them pure and holy by

teaching them your words of truthteaching them your words of truth. (John 17:14-17) NLT

In case you missed it—knowing the truth from God’s word and Holiness

are the keys to our safety. Many born-again Christians will perish and suffer

needlessly because they are ignorant of the truth and they are not Holy or

sanctified people of God. One cannot be called a saint unless they live a holy

or sanctified life.

As mentioned the wrath of God wrath of God that God’s HOLY people are not

appointed to — will be poured out during the last seven bowl (vial)

judgments upon the unrepentant sinners. Then I heard a loud voice from the

temple saying to the seven angels, "Go and pour out the bowls of the

wrath of God on the earth." (Rev 16:1) NKJV

Harvest Time

Before this judgment upon the sinners of the earth takes place, it is at

this point that God harvestsharvests (gathers) the people of the earth into two groups.

The first group is the “harvest of the earth that is ripe.” “harvest of the earth that is ripe.” These represent the

mature true saints of God.

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 ripethe 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.

Page 9: Prepared and Protected · 2020. 5. 7. · His protection and His provision—for those who know Him—love Him and trust Him—during these end days that the Bible calls “PERILOUS

9 July 2015

(Rev 14:15-16) NKJV

The second reaping (gathering) is of the “clusters of the vine of the clusters of the vine of the

earth”earth”—these represent the people that look to this earth for their source for

life—they are the product of the vine of this earthvine of this earth—Jesus Christ is not the

vine for their life. They have taken the mark of the beast and are going to be

judged. Their reaping (gathering) occurs—when the angel with authority over

firefire——gives the command for the second angel to reap:

"If anyone worships the beast and his image, and receives

his mark on his forehead or on his hand, he himself shall

also drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured

out full strength into the cup of His indignation… Then

another angel came out of the temple which is in heaven, he

also having a sharp sickle... And another angel came out And another angel came out

from the altar, who had power over firefrom 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 clusters of the vine of the

earthearth, for her grapes are fully ripe." ...So the angel thrust

his sickle into the earth and gathered the vine of the earth,

and threw it into the great winepress of the threw it into the great winepress of the wrath of Godwrath of God. .

(Rev 14:9,10, 17-19)

The above texts in (Rev 14:15-19) are parallel to the parable of the

wheatwheat (God’s saints) and the tares tares (followers of the devil) that Jesus taught

about in (Matt 13:24-30). He ended that parable by saying that the

unrepentant are bound for God’s wrath.

Let both grow together (wheat and tares) until the harvest:

and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather Gather

together first the tarestogether first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn bind them in bundles to burn

themthem: and gather the wheat into my barn. (Matt 13:30) KJV

Jesus tells us that FIRST there would be a GATHERING of the taresFIRST there would be a GATHERING of the tares.

This happens as the enemies of God are gathered together to fight against

Him at the battle of Armageddon.

And the grapes were trodden in the winepress outside the

city, and blood flowed from the winepress in a stream about

180 miles long and as high as a horse's bridle. (Rev 14:20)

NLT

And they gathered them together to the place called in

Hebrew, Armageddon. (Rev 16:16)

Before this battle takes place, the true saints of God are “gathered” from

the earth—into God’s “barn”“barn”—which is a picture of being raptured

(harvested) and kept safe (from God’s fire or wrath) as Christ’s possession.

Page 10: Prepared and Protected · 2020. 5. 7. · His protection and His provision—for those who know Him—love Him and trust Him—during these end days that the Bible calls “PERILOUS

TRUMPET SOUNDS Newsletter 10

The word barn barn as used in (Matt 13:30) is the Greek word (Strong's 596)

apotheke (ap-oth-ay'-kay) and according to the CWSD: this word refers to

a "secret place for laying up storing or hiding treasure or something "secret place for laying up storing or hiding treasure or something

valuable."valuable." This word reveals that the true saints of God—known as God’s

“Peculiar” (literally means “valuable”) People (1 Pet 2:9)—are God’s

treasure who are hid (safely) in Christ (the Barn).

...your life is hidden with Christ in God... When Christ who When Christ who

is our life appears, then you also will appear with Himis our life appears, then you also will appear with Him in

glory (in our glorified state). (Col 3:3-4)

Knowing when the “harvest” happens is important to understand

because this reveals the correct “timing” of the rapture. It is crucial to notice

WHEN this “gathering” takes place, which is when the last trumpet the last trumpet (the 7th

wrath upon the “unwrath upon the “un--raptured” people on earthraptured” people on earth.

But in the days of the sounding of the seventh angel sounding of the seventh angel (the 7th

or last trumpet), when he is when he is about to soundabout to sound, the mystery of mystery of

God would be finishedGod would be finished, as He declared to His servants the

prophets. (Rev 10:7)

The Last Trump

Before the last trumpet is blownBefore the last trumpet is blown there are several things that take place.

For the purpose of this study I will only elaborate on one of these things in

this article—that one thing as stated in (Rev 10:7) is...the mystery of God mystery of God

would be finishedwould be finished. . What does this mean? If you study the scriptures that

talk about “the mystery of God”—you will find that it refers to a threefold threefold

mysterymystery—which concerns the Bride of Christ:

#1. The formation of the Church or the Bride of Christ was initiated

by the preaching of the Gospel of Christ and was meant to include

non-Hebrew people (gentiles) from every culture:

(Rom 16:25-26) God is able to make you strong, just as the

Good News says. It is the message about Jesus Christ and

his plan for you Gentiles, a plan kept secretkept secret (a mystery)

from the beginning of time... But now as the prophets fore-

told and as the eternal God has commanded, this message is

made known to all Gentiles everywhere, so that they might

believe and obey Christ. NLT (Parenthesis mine)

#2. It refers to the full number of gentiles that God has ordained to

be part of His Holy Nation Israel (as spiritual seed of Abraham)—

who will rule as saints of God with Christ:

(Rom 11:25) For I do not desire, brethren, that you should you should

be ignorant of this mysterybe ignorant of this mystery,, lest you should be wise in your

own opinion, that blindness in part has happened to Israel

(the natural seed of Abraham) until the fullness of the until the fullness of the

Gentiles has come inGentiles has come in.

#3. The mystery of God also refers to the 1st resurrection (rapture):

(1 Cor 15:51-52) Behold, I show you a mysteryI show you a mystery; We shall

not all sleep, but we shall all be changed... In a moment, in

the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpat the last trump...

The Bible is clear about the fact that there is only one “gathering” one “gathering” to

meet the Lord in the air—which is also known as the first resurrection first resurrection thus,

there is only one rapture or gathering of all saints from all time—from

Adam to this time of “harvest”—there is not a pre-trib and mid-trib rapture

as some teach.

For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a

shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet trumpet

of Godof 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… Therefore comfort one an-

other with these words. (1 Thess 4:16-18)

In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet at the last trumpet

(7th trumpet judgment). For the trumpet will sound, and the

dead will be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.

(1 Cor 15:52)

I saw thrones, and they (the raptured glorified saints) sat on

them, and judgment was committed to them. Also 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 who had not worshiped the

beast or his imagebeast or his image, (these saints lived during the reign of

antichrist) and had not received his mark on their foreheads

or on their hands. And they lived and reigned lived and reigned with Christ

for a thousand years… But the rest of the dead did not live

again (the second resurrection) until the thousand years were

finished . This is the first resurrection. Blessed and holy is

he who has part in the first resurrection. (Rev 20:4-6)

This “harvest” or 1st resurrection happens at the blowing of the 7th

trumpet (last trump) judgment. When this last trumpet is blown four events

occur: (Rev 11:15, 18) Then the seventh angel sounded: And there were

loud voices in heaven, saying, #1. The kingdoms of this world are transferred out of Satan’s hands and

become the kingdoms of God and anointed."The kingdoms of this

world have become the kingdoms of our Lord and of His Christ,

and He shall reign forever and ever!"

#2. The fiery wrath of God is poured out. The nations were angry, and

Your wrath has come

#3. The Saints are resurrected and receive their rewards at the judgment

seat of Christ. And the time of the dead (1st resurrection), that they

should be judged, And that You should reward Your servants the reward Your servants the

prophets and the saintsprophets and the saints,

#4. God’s glorified saints are part of His army that fight at the Battle of

Armageddon. And those who fear Your name, small and great, Also

should destroy those who destroy the earthshould destroy those who destroy the earth."

The word is clear that those saints who endure tribulation trouble will

find rest when Jesus comes back and His saints will be glorified

...you who are suffering tribulation...you who are suffering tribulation will find relief with us, will find relief with us,

when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven with His when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven with His

mighty angelsmighty angels... in flaming fire taking vengeance on those

who do not know God, and on those who do not obey the

gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ... These shall be punished

with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord

and from the glory of His power... when He comes, in that when He comes, in that

Day, to glorify there His saintsDay, to glorify there His saints... (2 Thess 1:4-10) ALT

God Reveals the Hidden Things of Darkness

I want to say again—that in every generation when God’s people

become complacent and sinful… they do not look to the word for wisdom and

understanding concerning end time events. Instead they follow their favorite

prophecy teacher who teaches what tickles their ears. Those in this place,

when warned of impending judgment, will not heed the forewarnings, which

means they will not be prepared, protected or provided for during times of

judgment.

Those who true seekers of the truth—God will see to it that they will

have the hidden things of darkness revealed to them, they won’t be caught by

surprise because they will see the truth and heed the truth when they discern

it.

For there is nothing hidden which will not be revealed,

nor has anything been kept secret but that it should

come to light... If anyone has ears to hear, let him

hear." (Mark 4:22-23)

Those who are not spiritual sluggards will understand the signs that God

has given because they do have ears to hear. Spiritual sluggards on the other

hand lack spiritual insight—to them Jesus said: You know how to discern

the face of the sky, but you cannot discern the signs of the times.

(Matt 16:3)

Appointed and Anointed to Watch

I don’t want to give the impression that we are not to follow a teacher or

minister. Paul told his followers: Be ye followers of me, even as I also am of

Christ (1 Cor 11:1). God has given to us those He has appointed and

anointed as teachers and ministers. They are God’s gifts to His true saints.

"When He ascended on high, He led captivity captive,

And gave gifts to men." ...And He Himself gave some to

be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some

pastors and teachers... for the equipping of the saints for

the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of

Christ. (Eph 4:8, 11-12)

Unless we are truly discerning, we won’t know who to follow—and will

end up following those who please our flesh or manipulate our soul. I thank

the Lord that he has given us body members like Steve Quayle and Tom

Horn, who are truly appointed and anointed watchmen for the Lord. These

men and others have been strategically placed in my life for such a time as

this. I truly admire these mature saints and am eternally grateful for these men

of God and their powerful ministries. They speak so many things that have

solidly confirmed and established what I have seen and learned from God’s

word. Their ministries have caused me to press into God for greater clarity of

the truth. Anointed ministers like cause their followers to become like the

Bereans—who wanted to search God’s word to “see if these things be so.”

Godly ministers will always encourage us do search out God’s word for

ourselves regarding anything they bring forth.

We need more Christians like Steve Quayle and Tom Horn, because

men of God like these are very rare in this day and age. Only those who really

desire the “meat” of God’s word will appreciate and be able to handle many

of things that they bring forth. Teachers like Steve and Tom and many others

who are truly anointed by God as watchmen, need to be spiritually discerned

or those hearing what they have to say will not of be able to endure what they

teach and bring forth from God

I say these things about these men because their insights and God

ordained contacts that have been given them—expose “the secrets of

darkness” that are absolutely invaluable to those of us who want the truth

concerning the times and seasons in which we live. When we do not know

what the enemy is doing behind the scenes in our land, and lives we will fall

prey to many demonic and deceptive “wiles” that are meant to cause us to fall

prey to Satan’s end-time agenda for our destruction.

For this reason I want to share an excerpt from an article that was written

by Steve Quayle, which appeared on the website listed below on 12/29/2011.

In the article he reveals some information that many professing Christians are

still completely unaware of, and is presently on our door step. Watchmen give

their warnings well in advance… such as what is discussed in this article.

What he says should cause some very startling alarms to go off and awaken

those who may not know what is really happening in this land. Time is short!

The Plan For America's Destruction Becomes Apparent

By

Steve Quayle actionsbyt.blogspot.com

What is written down in FEMA papers and similar

Martial Law documents must be put into a larger political

and historical context. America's political system did not

suddenly transform into a tyrannical beast overnight.

The rise of the shadow state, and its evil twin brother, the

police state, has been decades in the making. The culture of

the police has been so dramatically altered during this time

that for many brainwashed police officers the implementation

of Martial Law is a natural and necessary response to

emergencies and crises.

After three decades of a traumatic war on drugs, military

rhetoric comes naturally to hardened police officers, who

don't see themselves as protectors of the law and the public

but as warriors of the state fighting terrorists, criminals,

protesters, and drug dealers.

All of these threats, by the way, are invented and

exaggerated. If the war on drugs and the war on terror were

to be ended, the warriors of the state would be forced to

redefine their identity and occupation because without

endless wars to be fought and without enemies to be killed

then there is no use for a warrior class.

And society doesn't really need a warrior class. Our

common interests and our democratic values are not

threatened by "terrorists," but by an international oligarchy.

Police officers and military men need to grasp this reality.

And they also need to realize that by blindly accepting a state

of war, and viewing the American population as the enemy,

they - the warriors of the state - become the real enemies of

the public and the rule of law. But the biggest enemies are the

philosophical masters who stand above the brainwashed

Page 15: Prepared and Protected · 2020. 5. 7. · His protection and His provision—for those who know Him—love Him and trust Him—during these end days that the Bible calls “PERILOUS

warriors and define their goals as noble and heroic, but direct

their will towards evil ends.

If the facts were known, (but sadly they are not by most

people) Martial Law in America, and North America, would

be defeated before it is even implemented. The traitors and

terrorists in Washington are not on the right side of history.

They are cowards to be defeated, not giants to be feared.

And the truth is they are scared and ashamed, that's

why they do everything in secret. The shameful FEMA

document was posted on a government website called

FBO.gov, but was immediately taken down after radio host

Alex Jones alerted his listeners to the existence of the

document and discussed its broader significance. This shows

that the hijacked U.S. government is controlled by very

frightened and pathetic people who know they are crossing

a red line by quietlyquietly setting up a military dictatorship in

America.

This FEMA document does not tell us anything new.

We've known for years that there is a conspiracy to destroy

America and other Western nations through an engineered

economic collapse and a false global war of terror that has

been used to legitimize the destruction of basic human

rights in the West.

Some facts can no longer be denied and dismissed. It is

not a theory that America is being destroyed by the traitors

and terrorists in Washington. It is reality. It is self-evident.

In the near future, Washington may not even exist. The

wild wolves of the new world order in the shadow CIA, and

their partners in crime in the shadow Mossad, could burn

down Washington D.C. in a false flag attack and relocate in

Denver, Colorado (where huge secret underground bases are

located).

They have already turned the heart of New York City

into a pit of ashes, so what's stopping them from doing the

same to the heart of the capital in the heat of the present

global order?

These psychopathic maniacs are capable of carrying out

the greatest acts of evil and destruction in human history.

Loss of life on an epic scale means nothing to them.

They desire mass death and mass destruction.

In their eyes, they believe they must destroy

the basic foundations of America, from the

Constitution and the Bill of Rights to the grand

architecture of Washington D.C., before they can

move on and establish their fascist global dictatorship

upon the ruins of the old age.

If such a dark and scary scenario unfolds ...out of

which America's shadow terrorist state will wage war

against a politically awakened and rebellious popula-

tion.

Following are some alerts that were recently posted on Steve

Quayle’s site on during the month of June 2015. I have no doubt that

we are getting ready for Martial Law. The person posting this alert is

employed by Capitol Guard and Patrol in Phoenix, AZ.

June 26, 2015

The federal police force will be required to enforce

all international laws set forth by the United Nations

ruling council Here is what is in my monthly newsletter from my employer,

Capitol Guard and Patrol in Phoenix, AZ ... regarding

Federalizing the Police: President Obama has identified the first

six cities to test his new Federal Police Program. This program is

designed to establish a unified police force that the federal

government has direct control over and completely autonomous

from any local or state authority. Most people are not aware this

is also a "mandated" requirement under article 5 of the Arms

Trade Treaty that the president and congress signed in 2013.

When fully established, the federal police force will be required to

enforce all international laws set forth by the United Nations rul-

ing council. These test cities are Birmingham, AL; Fort Worth,

TX; Gary, IN; Minneapolis, MN; Pittsburg, PA; and Stockton, CA.

I’ll bet this information never made your local or network

news cast! Anyone who looks to the mainstream media for their

news is being brainwashed by the mind control media! We need

to start asking God to bring us the true news, so we know what to

prepare for. Here is another entry from a Chinese businessman:

FROM A U.S. CHINA BASED BUSINESS MAN-

"YOU REALLY NEED TO UNDERSTAND WHAT HE IS

SAYING”-Steve Quayle

Jun 25, 2015

1.) Our US based Clients have recently begun negotiating/

implementing changes to the terms of our Purchasing Agreements that

will allow them the ability to pay in currencies other than the US

Dollar. Usually, the most requested forms of payment are now in either

RMB/Yuan, Euros, Rubles, or Dinars.

2.) Tied to this, we have also noticed that our US based Clients are

relocating their payment centers out of the US, usually from New York.

Instead, we are now being told that we will need to be invoicing our US

Clients through their new payment offices, located in such places as

Dubai, Singapore or more times than not; Hong Kong. Also, those

same individuals/Department VPs, usually based out of New York, we

are now finding, have also suddenly relocated to these various

countries in order to set up their new payment centers.

The companies involved are household names. So if they are

starting to diversify their payment centers away from using US Dollars,

we (meaning I and my Chinese partner), can only assume that they

know something is coming and that being tied to a US Dollar based

transaction could place them at a competitive disadvantage.

Also this post from June 28, 2015,

Military drills are still being carried out on American soil under the pretext

of training soldiers for urban warfare overseas. Southeastern Michigan, the site of one of the many military training drills taking place across the country this summer, has had Black Hawk helicopters buzzing its skies and soldiers dressed for combat doing night combat drills in abandoned buildings around the state.

I want to include the following posts from Dave Hodges site:

FEMA Camps are spreading like a bad cold...

The United States is witnessing the importation of white buses

and vans in record numbers. Malls, all across the UK, Canada

and the United States are witnessing strip mall conversion to

FEMA camp guard towers. Further, new malls are incorporating

FEMA camp guard towers into their construction. And the

largest owners of malls in North America have struck a deal with

DHS to allow their facilities to be used as FEMA camp detention

facilities. What does it all mean? A.N.

Hello Mr. Hodges

My brother is a member of the Michigan Army Reserve that

has trained near a FEMA camp known as Camp Grayling. His

unit functions as a security unit and has trained for duty at

Guantanamo i the past.

He was home this past week for three days. He told me that he

wasn’t sure he could go back because they were constructing

mass grave sites by bulldozing the ground northeast of Camp

Grayling. My brother reads your site, Steve Quayle and the

Hagmann’s and Alex Jones. Because of this, he immediately

knew what he was working on. He is shaken to his soul and does

not know what to do. Nobody in his unit has said a thing and my

brother is afraid he is on his own with what’s happening.

Please keep up the good work because you are waking up

people. I just fear that you are not waking enough of us sheep up.

May God be with you,

Beth

Something is about to take place in our nation that the vast majority of

people are utterly unprepared for—spiritually—emotionally and physically.

Those of us who are born again—and Holy Spirit guided Christians—must

seek God as never before! We must also start to ban together in order to hear

God’s clear instructions for the coming destructions. In order to help God’s

people prepare—our ministry is offering FREE of charge a PROTECTION &

PROVISION package, that includes valuable information and Biblical

teaching some from myself and some from those God has placed in our life

to help us hear what we need in order to do what is needed to prepare for what

lies ahead.

It is comforting to know that God gives provides what is needed to those

who love, trust and obey Him. We are entering a time when Christians will

become hated targets in this nation, and as I sought the Lord about these

things I was given this portion of His word as my prayer for the times I am

facing:

As a serious student of the Bible and especially end time prophetic events, I am often

alerted by the Holy Spirit to specific things as I investigate and research certain events or

topics that have an important significance to the end times in which we are living.

Therefore, I find it is crucial to listen to those who are “messengers” of what is happening

in these very dangerous end times. Often these “messengers” are not Christians—but the

Holy Spirit will use their experiences and the information they have because it is impor-

tant for us as God’s people to be aware of how the forces of antichrist are at work behind

the scenes.

Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not (to be)

ignorant of his devices. ( 2 Cor 2:11)

We must know the mind of God concerning the evil things that are happening all around

us—which are not generally known by the majority of people because they are

uninformed—and sadly, many unfortunately choose to remain so because the facts are so

evil and can be a very hard reality to face. Those in this position however, are placing

themselves and their loved ones in terrible danger. In order to face the reality of these

terrible dangers without fear—we must see these demonic evils from God’s

perspective—otherwise we can easily end up going in a direction that God never intended

for us to go. Therein lies the greatest danger.

See to it that you obey God, the one who is speaking to you. For if

the people of Israel did not escape when they refused to listen to

Moses, their earthly messenger, how terrible our danger if we reject

the One who speaks to us from heaven! (Heb 12:25)
