THE TRANSITION

GENERATION,

and your positioning

in this prophetic

seasonThe Compelling Biblical and End-Time Basis Of the Urgent Need for a

HOUSE OF PRAYER and a

SCHOOL OF THE PROPHETIC

BEFORE THAT, some

updates:1. The U.S. Government continues to be

SHUTDOWN

- Among its effects:

NASA is shutdown, we cannot monitor the meteors and the coming of ISON (wormwood?) on November 28, 2013

2. We have 4 BLOOD RED MOON coming this 2014-2015

3. We have war jitters in Israel (Iran, Syria)

4. We have on-going discussions on the division of the land of Israel (9-month period from July 2013 to April 2014, in the month of the 1st red blood moon)

WHAT SOME PROPHETS

SAY:1. We are in a “calm before the storm”

(the storm being 2014-2015)

2. This is a HEIGHTENED

PROPHETIC SEASON (equivalent

to a military red alert status in the

spiritual realm)

3. This is the time to DETERMINE our

SPIRITUAL POSITION, LOCATION,

NAVIGATION AND DIRECTION

4. This is the time to re-assess priorities

NOW WHAT IS A TRANSITION

GENERATION?A transition generation is the generation

that God uses:

1. AS A LIGHT OR GATE

2. to FACILITATE or USHER IN the COMING IN of a NEW SEASON.

“And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years:” (GEN. 1:14)

MATTHEW 5:14-16

“14 YOU are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.

15 Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house.

16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see (VISION) your good works, AND GLORIFY your Father which is in heaven. “

(This is the TRANSITION OF THEIR SEASON TO GLORY.)

Examples of “transition

generation”:1. The Joshua Generation – from

escape (Moses generation) to

conquest

2. The David Generation – the

generation that captured and

established Jerusalem as capital of

Israel

3. The 120 in Jerusalem – received the

Holy Spirit and ushered in the

“church age”

SO NOW THERE ARE TWO

CRUCIAL PROPHETIC

GENERATIONS (“LIGHTS”):In the Bible, there are two very, very crucial

generations that are very relevant to the church in relation to the Lord Jesus Christ:

1. The 1st coming generation

2. And the 2nd coming generation.

PLEASE TAKE NOTE THERE IS ONLY ONE GENERATION THAT FACILITATED THE FIRST COMING, THERE WILL ALSO BE ONE GENERATION THAT WILL FACILITATE THE SECOND COMING.

MEANING, IT IS A VERY, VERY SPECIAL GENERATION.

IT BEARS STRESSING:

THERE IS ONLY ONE TRANSITION GENERATION!!

THERE WAS ONLY ONE GENERATION THAT RECEIVED JESUS CHRIST WHEN HE CAME THE FIRST TIME!!

ALL THE PLAYERS IN THAT ONLY ONE GENERATION ALL DIDTHEIR PART!!

THERE WILL ALSO BE ONLY ONE GENERATION THAT WILL BRING IN THE SECOND COMING OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST!

THIS IS THIS GENERATION!! WE ALL BETTER DO OUR PART!

NOW HERE IS AN

INTERESTING FACT:

WOMEN have been very key factors for the transition of one season to the next, whether for curse of blessing:

WOMEN HAVE BEEN ORDAINED BY GOD TO MARK THE TRANSITION. These women possessed characteristic traits that speak of the season coming and how it is ushered in.

THE “THREE WOMEN” OF

SPIRITUAL AND PROPHETIC

HISTORY:

In terms of MARKERS in the spiritual and prophetic history of the world, it is very interesting to note that there were/are THREE MARKERS OR MILESTONES, AND THEY WERE/ARE ALL MARKED BY THREE WOMEN (THREE “GATEKEEPERS”) WHO USHERED IN THREE MAJOR SEASONS of the SPIRITUAL HISTORY OF THE WORLD:

THE FIRST WOMAN and the

SEASON she brought in:1. The first woman was EVE, and together

with her husband Adam, they brought in

the season of SIN AND DEATH.

The world was created good, but

something went bad that ushered in sin

and death:

Eve DISOBEYED the Word of God,

listened to the Devil, ADAM was a

consenting partner, and ushered in SIN

AND DEATH.

WHAT WERE THE

CHARACTERISTICS OF EVE?

1. She lived by SIGHT (Gen. 3:6 “she SAW that the fruit was good for food AND IT WAS PLEASANT TO THE EYES”…) – lust of the eyes and lust of the flesh

2. She was controlled by DESIRE (Gen. 3:6 “and the tree was DESIRED…”) pride of life (I John 2:16)

3. Relied on EARTHLY WISDOM (Gen. 3:6 “… to MAKE one WISE…”) relied on her own understanding (Prov. 3:5-6)

From this sad event, a prophecy

was made that PREDICTED the

FIRST COMING of the Lord

Jesus Christ and the woman that

will bring in a new season:

Gen. 3:15

“And I will put enmity between thee and

the woman, and between thy seed

and her seed; it shall bruise thy head,

and thou shalt bruise his heel. “

WHAT WAS ANNOUNCED?

1. Enmity between the Devil and the

woman

2. Enmity between her seed and the

serpent’s seed

3. The serpent will bruise the heel of

the seed of the woman

4. The seed of the woman will crush the

head of the serpent

THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT:

1. The enmity between the serpent and the woman is not one time – THEY WILL ALWAYS HAVE ENMITY

2. There will always be ENMITY between the SEED OF THE SERPENT and the SEED OF THE WOMAN

3. The seed of the woman will be VICTORIOUS.

WE NEED TO UNDERSTAND THIS PROPHETIC THREAD:

IN THIS PROPHETIC THREAD,

WOMEN WERE PLACED AS

MARKERS; WHAT IS THIS

COMING AND WHO IS THE

WOMAN?The FIRST COMING was the birth of the Son of

God as MAN, to offer Himself as sacrifice for sins, and usher in the NEW SEASON OF GRACE, when Jesus Christ the SaviourCONCEIVED OF THE HOLY GHOST AND BORN OF A WOMAN, was brought forth into the world.

THE FIRST COMING of Jesus and the SEASON OF GRACE that brought salvation rich and freeCAME THROUGH A WOMAN!

THE PROPHETIC

SIGNIFICANCE OF THIS IS

NOT TO BE

UNDERESTIMATEDThe BIRTHING of a new season, and the kind

of generation that will facilitate or implement

God’s purposes in that new season, uses

the symbolism of a WOMAN.

A WOMAN CONCEIVES, CARRIES, GIVES

BIRTH. This requires SUBMISSION,

SACRIFICE, WILLINGNESS, HUMILITY,

PATIENCE. These are qualities needed for

a transition generation.

LET US QUICKLY REVIEW THE

GENERATION OF THE FIRST

COMING

The key players of that generation all revealed the KEY QUALITIES needed that brought in the first coming:

1. MARY – chaste, pure, called God her Savior, very solidly grounded on Scriptures (Magnificat of Luke 1:26 ff, 46-55 eleven direct references to OT), willing to BEAR AND CARRY WHAT THE HOLY GHOST CONCEIVED IN HER, willing to go through humiliation and shame TO BIRTH THE WORK OF GOD IN HER GENERATION!

The key players of the 1st

coming:2. The Josephs – willing to support the Mary’s;

willing to be in the background; willing to FATHER the generation produced by the Holy Spirit (MATTHEW 1:18-25)

3. The Simeons and Annas – the prevailing, enduring PRAYER WARRIORS (Luke 2:25 ff, 36 ff; Anna was called a prophetess)

4. The shepherds – willing to SPREAD THE GOOD NEWS! (Luke 2:8 ff)

5. The WISE MEN – willing to leave their comfort zone to GIVE OF THEIR BEST TO JESUS (MATTHEW 2:2 “WHERE is he that is born king of the Jews, for we have seen his star in the east and come to worship him.”)

THIS WAS THE TRANSITION

GENERATION OF THE 1ST

COMING:

1. The Mary’s – the BEARERS AND BIRTHERS

2. The Joseph’s – the FATHERS of those birthed by the Spirit, not calling them their own; they support the Mary’s

3. The Simeons and Annas – the INTERCESSORS PRAYER WARRIORS

4. The shepherds – the HERALDS

5. The WISE MEN – who GAVE OF THEIR BEST to Jesus

THERE IS ONE MORE

SPECIAL PERSON IN THE

TRANSITION GENERATION OF

THE 1ST COMING:

JOHN THE BAPTIST – the FORERUNNER

1. Set apart (Nazirite)

2. Simple in his appearance and in his diet

3. He was a voice that echoed and trumpeted the coming of the Lord

4. He prepared the way of the Lord

5. Committed to Jesus increasing and he decrease

NOW THERE WERE PEOPLE

WHO LOST THEIR POSITIONS

IN THE PROPHETIC SEASON

OF THIS TRANSITION

GENERATION:Who were they?1. The Chief priest, the priests, the

teachers of the law (THE BIBLE EXPERTS!!)

2. The Pharisees and the Sadducees3. The crowd (who shouted, “Crucify him!

Crucify him! Let his blood be upon us and our children” Matt. 27:25) – this affected them generationally until World War II

WHY? WHAT WENT

WRONG? Mat 16:1 The Pharisees also with the

Sadducees came, and tempting desired him that he would shew them a sign from heaven.

Mat 16:2 He answered and said unto them, When it is evening, ye say, It will be fair weather: for the sky is red.

Mat 16:3 And in the morning, It will be foul weather to day: for the sky is red and lowring. O ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky; but can ye not discern the signs of the times?

THEY KNEW NOT THEIR TIME

OF VISITATION! Luk 19:41 “And when he was come near, he

beheld the city, and wept over it,

Luk 19:42 Saying, If thou hadst known, even thou, at least in this thy day, the things which belong unto thy peace! but now they are hid from thine eyes.

Luk 19:43 For the days shall come upon thee, that thine enemies shall cast a trench about thee, and compass thee round, and keep thee in on every side,

Luk 19:44 And shall lay thee even with the ground, and thy children within thee; and they shall not leave in thee one stone upon another; because thou knewest not the time of thy visitation. “

NOW WE LOOK AT THE

SECOND COMING AND THE

“WOMAN” THAT WILL BRING IT

IN (that we may not miss our

time of visitation!!!):

The SECOND COMING is when the Lamb that was slain will come back as KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS AND WILL SIT ON HIS THRONE, to establish the millennial and eternal kingdom.

WHO IS THE “WOMAN” THAT WILL BRING THIS IN?

For the 1st coming, it was Mary.

For the 2nd coming, the “WOMAN” is none

other than

THE BRIDE of CHRIST.

WHO ARE THE BRIDE?

This is actually not limited to women only. ALL OF US CHRISTIANS ARE THE BRIDE OF CHRIST (supposed to be).

. “There is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus” (Gal 3:28 NIV).

SO THE BRIDE OF CHRIST IS THE “WOMAN” THAT WILL BRING IN THE SECOND COMING OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST.

THE MATTER IS OF TERRIBLE

IMPORTANCE:

The BRIDAL CALL is the LAST AND FINAL CALL TO, AND OF, ALL CHRISTIANS:

Rev. 22:17 “And the SPIRIT and the BRIDE say, COME! And let him that is thirsty come!...”

It is NOT the Spirit and the church, or the Spirit and the son/daughter, or servant, or soldier. It is the Spirit and the BRIDE!

There are at least TEN BASIC

QUALITIES OF THE BRIDE as

described in the Bible: 1. The bride will be presented as

a pure virgin to him (2 Cor. 11:2).

2. The bride will be known for her righteousness, or righteous acts (Rev. 19:5-8).

v. 5 “And a voice came out of the throne, saying, Praise our God, all ye his servants, and ye that fear him, both small and great.

Qualities of the Bride…

3. The bridal church will be (Eph. 5:25-

27):

a. Holy.

b. Cleansed and washed by

the word of God.

c. A radiant church.

d. Without stain or wrinkle.

(QUESTION: who makes her these?

Christ or she herself?

Salvation is a gift, but we are also called

on to put to death the deeds of the flesh.

Qualities of the Bride

(continued):e. Without blemish.

f. Blameless.

4. The bride of Christ will have the measure of the stature of the (Eph. 4:13, KJV)fullness of Christ

5. The bride will come from a portion of the body of Christ, rather than being the entire body (Gen. 2:22 by application).

6. The bride will have a sincere and pure devotion to Christ(2 Cor. 11:3). (PASSION)

Qualities of the Bride

(continued): 7. The bride will be watchful and

prayerful (Luke 21:36).

8. The bride will have been pressing for perfection (2 Cor. 13:9,11).

9. The anointing, the baptism with the Holy Spirit, will be abundantly operating in the lives of those who qualify for the bride of Christ (Matt. 25:3-4).

10. The bride will live in a state of readiness, eagerness, to meet the bridegroom (Matt. 25:10; Luke 12:35; Rev. 19:7).

THERE ARE MORE!, BUT THESE ARE THE BASIC.

The other qualities of the

Christian that bring him/her to

the bridal level:

1. Accepted in the Beloved

2. Desire for the Groom (His return and

reign)

3. Passion

4. Fascination

5. Intimacy

6. Filled with Oil (Holy Spirit)

THIS IS THE GENERATION

THAT WILL BRING IN THE

SECOND COMING

Like Mary, they will partner with God to bring in Christ.

Like Mary, THE BRIDE will CONCEIVE OF THINGS OF THE HOLY GHOST and GIVE BIRTH TO THEM.

Like Mary, they will CARRY THE WORKS OF THE HOLY SPIRIT IN THEIR SPIRITUAL WOMB UNTIL THEY ARE GIVEN LIFE AND REALIZATION.

The COUNTER of Satan:

Is the spirit of the whore or prostitute in the Book of Revelation (chap. 17, 18), also called “Babylon”.

A prostitute sleeps with anybody for a fee. Many people say they believe in God or Christ but will sleep with anything or anyone if they derive pleasure or gain from it.

A Bride is faithful to the Groom no matter what.

In the last days, two “WOMAN SPIRITS” will work among people: either the spirit of the prostitute or the spirit of the Bride.

NOW IF YOU ARE THE GROOM

AND ARE MARRYING YOUR

GIRLFRIEND, WHERE DO YOU

BRING YOUR BRIDE? You bring the car to the garage

You bring the soldier to the barracks

You bring the sheep to the pen

WHERE DOES THE GROOM BRING HIS BRIDE WHEN HE MARRIES HER?

The Groom BRINGS THE BRIDE

TO HIS HOUSE.

NOW WHAT IS THE NAME OF

THAT HOUSE?

“My house shall be called a HOUSE OF PRAYER for all nations. (Isaiah 56:7, Matthew 21:13)

PLEASE TAKE NOTE!!! A BRIDE (SPOUSE):

1. Lives in the house of her husband

2. Eats in that house

3. Sleeps in that house

4. Works in that house

5. Is intimate with her husband in that house

6. She bears children for her husband in that house

7. She raises her husband’s children with

her in that house

8. She attends to her husband’s business

in that house

A BRIDE (SPOUSE, WIFE) DOES NOT

LIVE IN THE PLAZA, THE HOTEL, OR

THE TEMPLE. SHE LIVES IN THE

HOUSE OF HER HUSBAND (LORD).

AND THE NAME OF THAT HOUSE IS

THE HOUSE OF PRAYER!

IN THE HOUSE of her

Husband,The Bride (Spouse, wife) is:

1. Protected (Psalm 91)

2. Provided (Haggai 2:6-7)

3. Loved

4. Experiences intimacy with the Husband (Song of Songs 3:4; chap. 8)

5. Secured

AND THIS HOUSE IS CALLED THE

HOUSE OF PRAYER!!

IMPLICATIONS:

1. We must LIVE IN PRAYER! PRAYER MUST BE OUR HOUSE, THE HOUSE OF OUR LIVES.

2. We must SET UP HOUSES OF PRAYER AS JESUS DESIRED AND INSISTED.

We MUST HAVE A HOUSE OF PRAYER!

QUESTION: AS CHRISTIAN

CHURCHES, HOW DO WE

APPLY THE MESSAGE

CONCERNING THE BRIDE AND

THE GROOM’S HOUSE FOR

HER, WHICH IS CALLED A

HOUSE PF PRAYER?Two things we must do:

1. FIRST, WE MUST PREPARE THE

CHURCH TO BE THE BRIDE!

How do we prepare the church to

be the bride of Christ:

1. UNITY OF THE BRETHREN:

In Revelation, one city is represented by ONE LAMSPTAND (the lampstandstands in the House of God)

- It is NOT a case of one lampstand for Baptists, another for AG, for Pentecostal, for Foursquare, etc.; IT IS ONE LAMPSTAND FOR ALL CHRISTIANS AND CHURCHES IN THAT CITY

This is the prayer of Jesus in

John 17 V. 20 Neither pray I for these alone, but for

them also which shall believe on me through their word;

21 That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.

22 And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one:

23 I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me.

This is the prayer of Paul (Eph.

4): I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech

you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called,

Eph 4:2 With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love;

Eph 4:3 Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.

Eph 4:4 There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling;

Eph 4:5 One Lord, one faith, one baptism,

Eph 4:6 One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.

2. RESTORE to the BRIDE her

ability in WORSHIP AND

INTERCESSION; “Harps and

Bowls”Amos 9:11-12

In that day will I rebuild the tabernacle of David that is fallen, and close up the breaches thereof; and I will raise up his ruins, and I will build it as in the days of old:

Amo 9:12 That they may possess the remnant of Edom, and of all the heathen, which are called by my name, saith the LORD that doeth this.

Rev. 5:8

And when he had taken the book, the four beasts and four and twenty elders fell down before the Lamb, having every one of them harps, and golden bowls full of odours, which are the prayers of saints.

The Tabernacle of David…

Was different from the Tabernacle of Moses:

1. musicians, singers, and intercessors worshipped and prayed 24-7 (NON STOP) in the tabernacle of David

2. The ark of the covenant was not veiled by a curtain, but was visible to the people.

THE CHURCH MUST NOT ONLY UNITE, BUT MUST UNITE IN WORSHIP AND PRAYER.

3. The church must be pure!

Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;

Eph 5:26 That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word,

Eph 5:27 That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.

Revelations 19

Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready.

Rev 19:8 And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints.

Rev 19:9 And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of God.

AFTER preparing the Bride, we

then must BUILD OR SET UP A

HOUSE OF PRAYER:

1. first, choose a PLACE…

2. Organize the place (the set-up, the

schedule, the servants who will serve

in that place….)

3. Equip the place (musicians, musical

instruments, kneeling pads or pews,

etc.

THE HOUSE OF PRAYER:

4. Ask the churches/Christians and

prayer groups to GET SLOTS for

PRAYER SCHEDULES

5. Fill up the Monday to Sunday

schedules

6. Fill up the 24 hours slot per day

7. Allow worshippers and intercessors

to come in and pray

IN THIS HOUSE OF

PRAYER:1. The Holy Spirit will cause the Bride (the

Christians) to CONCEIVE OR CARRY CERTAIN THINGS FROM THE HOLY SPIRIT – the Holy Spirit will BIRTH anointings, ministries, tasks

2. In the House of Prayer, miracles, signs and wonders happen

3. As Christians pray, GOD WILL PROTECT HIS PEOPLE, GOD WILL PROVIDE MIGHTILY FOR HIS PEOPLE, GOD WILL REVEAL HIS PLANS TO HIS PEOPLE

SO

1. WE ARE THE TRANSITION

GENERATION,

2. we are “the woman”

because we are THE BRIDE of

Christ that will BIRTH OR

USHER IN THE SECOND

COMING OF THE LORD JESUS

CHRIST,

3. we have a HOUSE,

4. and it is called A HOUSE OF

PRAYER!

NOW, AND THIS IS VERY

IMPORTANT:

CHRISTIANS CAN LOSE,

FORFEIT, OR DIMINISH THEIR

POSITIONS, ALLOTMENT, AND

INHERITANCE IN THE

TRANSITION SEASON, AS A

TRANSITION GENERATION!

EXAMPLES OF CHARACTERS

who lost their positions,

allotments, inheritance or

diminished them in a transition

season:THE TWELVE SONS OF JACOB were

a TRANSITION GENERATION. (Story

begins in Genesis 29.)

THE LORD WAS TRANSITIONING

THE FAMILY OF JACOB INTO THE

NATION OF ISRAEL (by 12 tribes

from the 12 sons.)

Look at the PROPHETIC

PICTURE:1. The prophetic promise: made to

Abraham that he will become the father

of a great nation (Gen. 12) eventually of

many nations and peoples (Gen. 22)

2. Isaac was born (Gen. 21)

2. To Isaac, Esau and Jacob were born

but covenant was established with Jacob

3. Jacob had two wives. Leah and Rachel

(with their maids), with whom Jacob had

12 sons

The unfolding of the prophetic

picture:Joseph was sold as a slave to Egypt,

where he became Prime Minister.

The family of Jacob escapes famine in

Israel, transfers to Egypt.

There they lived well, until it was time

for Jacob to die.

THE PROPHETIC AGENT: JACOB.

He PROPHESIES over his 12 sons.

A SAMPLE OF THE

PROPHESIES:Genesis 49:

1. vs. 3-4 REUBEN – the firstborn, supposed to be sign of strength, honor and power (FIRSTBORN) BUT HE LOST IT BECAUSE OF AN ACT OF SEXUAL IMMORALITY

2. Look at v. 5 – the word for SIMEON AND LEVI (lumped as one) – THEY ARE ANGRY AND VIOLENT (their anger was cursed); SEE GEN. 34

A sample of the prophecies:

3. JUDAH (Gen. 49:8) had a very very

good prophetic word: praise, victory

over enemies, THE SCEPTER AND

RULER’S STAFF WAS GIVEN TO

HIM, AND THE EARLY PROPHECY

OF THE MESSIAH (v. 8 to 11)…

WE STOP HERE AND DO SOME

EVALUATION:

REMEMBER THE 12 SONS OF

JACOB WERE A TRANSITION

GENERATION

During that PROPHETIC SEASON (where

God was WORKING OUT THE

FULFILMENT OF THE PROPHETIC

PROMISE TO ABRAHAM), the 12 sons

of Jacob made CERTAIN DECISIONS

and BEHAVED in some manner that

IMPACTED ON THEIR POSITION,

ANOINTING, ALLOTMENT, POSITION

AND BLESSING:

Survey their acts and their

effects:1. Reuben the natural firstborn, had one

good act recorded: he saved his

brother Joseph from being killed by

his younger brothers (Gen. 8:31)

YET, HE LATER SHAMED HIS

FATHER when he slept with one of

his father’s concubines or wives

(Gen. 35:22)

-- IMMEDIATELY he LOST HIS

POSITION as favored son.

Was Reuben redeemed?

- There was PARTIAL REDEMPTION of Reuben when his tribe was made the forward tribe of the REAR GUARD of the tribes of Israel every time they went to war

2. SIMEON AND LEVI – why were their anger cursed?

Because when their sister Dinah was raped, they killed all the group of the guy who raped their sister (Gen. 34:25)

Were they redeemed?

The tribe of LEVI redeemed itself IN

ANOTHER PROPHETIC SEASON,

when Moses rebuked the golden calf

in the wilderness, and THE TRIBE OF

LEVI SIDED WITH MOSES in killing

all his brothers (GEN. 32:26 ff.)

SO THE TRIBE OF LEVI became the

tribe of priests and intercessors for the

nation of Israel…

Was Simeon redeemed?

Simeon was partially redeemed when his tribe was absorbed by the other tribes, especially the anointed tribes (especially the tribe of Levi).

In the New Testament, the prophet SIMEON beheld the Messiah (Luke 2:25-37). Prophet Simeon was of the tribe of Simeon.

(Note: the tribe of Simeon, the swordsman tribe, announced to Mary through the prophet Simeon that a sword will pierce her heart, Luke 3:34-35).

How about Judah?

Judah was not a strong candidate for blessing:

- He was the son of Leah (not of Rachel whom Jacob loved) (Gen. 29:31, 35)

- His firstborn son Er was wicked and the Lord killed him (Gen. 36:7)

- His second son was also wicked (Onan) Gen. 38:8-10

- Then he committed incest “by mistake” (he thought that Tamar, his daughter-in-law by Er) was a prostitute, and “he came in unto her”

YET, HOW WAS JUDAH

REDEEMED?

In Genesis 44, when Joseph has not yet revealed himself to his brothers, and wanted to see his beloved brother Benjamin, Judah OFFERED HIMSELF to Joseph AS SURETY to guaranty Benjamin’s appearance (Gen. 44:33).

FROM THIS SINGLE ACT OF BRAVERY AND GALLANTRY, Judah redeemed his bloodline.

HE BECAME THE “FATHER” OF DAVID, THE KING OF ISRAEL, and of Jesus the Messiah!

WHAT IS THE POINT?

In a PROPHETIC SEASON, in a TRANSITION GENERATION, WHAT YOU DO, HOW YOU BEHAVE, HOW YOU MAKE DECISIONS, will determine your standing, position, allotment, inheritance and destiny.

There are PROPHETIC SHIFTS, there are RE-POSITIONING in a prophetic season.

WE ARE NOW IN A VERY

HEIGHTENED PROPHETIC SEASON!

(remember Joel 2:28)

WE ARE A TRANSITION

GENERATION LIKE THE 12 SONS OF

JACOB WERE.

What we do, what we say, how we

behave, the decisions that we make, are

QUICKLY AND RAPIDLY

DETERMINING our position, allotment,

blessing, destiny.

MAKE NO MISTAKE ABOUT IT:

2013, 2014, 2015, is a HEIGHTENED PROPHETIC SEASON…

Four red blood men, solar eclipse, Isoncomet, division of the land, agitation for the rebuilding of the temple, possible war in Israel, Syria, Iran, collapse of the U.S. economy preparing for a new world order…

THIS IS A HEIGHTENED PROPHETIC SEASON. THIS IS DEFINITELY A TRANSITION GENERATION, THE FINAL TRANSITION GENERATION…

Let us be very careful then how we live!
