for the coming of the Lord is at hand, (James 5:8). There was a division among the people because of Him, (John 7:43). Therefore some of the Pharisees said, this man is not from God, because He does not keep the Sabbath. Others said, how can a man who is a sinner do such signs? And there was a division among them, (John 9:16). Therefore there was a division again among the Jews because of His sayings, (John 10:19).
The time has been fulfilled to separate the ones that are in His likeness or image from those that chose to remain fallen. It does not matter that the Day of the Lord is not here yet, we do not know when our days personally are over……Let’s be wise and fear the Lord and choose His love.
I looked when He opened the sixth seal, and behold, there was a great earthquake, and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became like blood. And the stars from heaven fell to the earth, as a fig tree drop its late figs when it is shaken be a mighty wind. Then the sky receded as a scroll when it is rolled up, and every mountain and island was moved out of its place.
And the kings of the earth, the great men, the rich men, the commanders, the mighty men, every slave and every free man, hid themselves in the caves and in the rocks of the mountains, and said to the mountains fall on us and hide us from the face of Him who sits on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb! For the great day of His wrath has come, and who is able to stand?, ( Revelation 6: 12-17).
Saying, do not harm the earth, the sea, the trees till we have sealed the servants of our God on their foreheads, (Revelations 7:3).
After these things I looked, and behold, a great multitude which no one could number of all nations, tribes, peoples and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, with palm branches in their hands, and crying out with a loud voice, saying, salvation belongs to our God who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb!, (Revelation 7:10).
And I said to him, Sir, you know. So he said to me, these are the ones who come out of the great tribulation, and washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. Therefore they are before the throne of God, and serve Him day and night in His temple. And He who sits on the throne will dwell among them. They shall neither hunger anymore nor thirst anymore; the sun shall not strike them, nor any heat; for the Lamb who is in the midst of the throne will shepherd them and lead them to living fountains of waters. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes, (Revelation 7:14-17).
And behold, there was a great earthquake; for an angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat on it, ( Matthew 28:2). I love the fact the angel sat on the huge stone. What a statement! I think angels were involved when the the sixth seal was broken, don’t you? One angel of God can do amazing things because he belongs to God….. We also belong to God, so we can also do amazing things by God’s power for His glory.
Earthquakes come to sound an alarm to the temporal life being exactly that, temporal. But to those who have washed their robes and made them white by the blood of the Lamb, come let us bow and worship our God and the Lamb, saying, Amen! Blessing and glory and wisdom, thanksgiving and honor and power and might, be to our God forever and ever. Amen! (my paraphrase Revelation 7:12).
God protects and makes a way for His own always. He did for Noah before the world was destroyed by water. He did for Abraham and his relatives, as God moved them out before He desecrated Sodom and Gomorrah with fire and brimstone. God brought His people, Israel, out before destruction came to the prideful in Egypt.
However, the only way through eternal death resulting from ALL MANKIND having sin is in faith of the Son of God, Jesus Christ. God never changes…. He is our Deliverer. His faithfulness remains steady to Himself and to those who worship and love Him and the Lamb. Where is the place He is going to deliver us unto as this world is burned?
You are meditating on the Word in prayer. Then a cloud passes by the window. You remember the times you have spent with Him. You smile gently as You remember His love and tenderness with you. His Words are etched in your heart.
Tears start to fill your eyes for the ones you have gone to tell of what the Lord would like us to do, and do not believe you at all. They have spoken behind you saying, that can’t be true. They say they know your faults, God wouldn’t spend time with you, let alone speak to you. They say you are dreaming and it is a lie. God would not give you any call or responsibility like that because they say they know where you came from. Who does she think she is? You answer that to yourself, His.
You heart hurts. Father, I ask in Jesus’s name that you change their hearts to know You and live a life set apart for You for all their days. I pray they may know the joy of knowing You and being with You.
Then you hear Him speak, peace, my child, be still. Know that I AM God and I will be exalted among the nations. You are in good company, there have been many that have received the same fate from men, even the Lamb of God. Blessed are you child, when they revile and persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely for My sake. Rejoice and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you. You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt loses its flavor, how shall it be seasoned? It is then good for nothing but to be thrown out and trampled under foot by men, (Matthew 5:11-13).
Do not stop speaking my heart to all I tell you. I knew, when I spoke on this earth, who would be the 30-60-100 fold ground. I spoke then and continue to speak to all. All that heard and hear today will be responsible for My Words. You cannot please God and man…… You pleasing your Father in heaven out weighs any heated trial from man that are here today and gone tomorrow. Thank you child for choosing to loose your life here. They do not know the pit that they make for you today, they themselves will fall into tomorrow.
Child, how many were in the upper room waiting on the promise of the Father? How many followed me to the cross? How many multitudes did I feed and speak over and over the Word? Do you discern the division that comes from the truth of the God’s Word spoken?
There is no discernment or courage to be a critic of others when trying to escape the pain of conviction hitting home in their own hearts. I have not called men to be watchers of others but watchers of Me. All are to tend their own hearts, My home.
This earthquake that has erupted in your life is the touch of God. You are learning that the life of faith is living where you cannot see with the natural eye, but you are living from the eternal realm…. Wow! You smile that you are with Him where He is! You sense you are home.
You know in your “knower” that there is a place in the Lord that you live…. This place must be important because when you are there in prayer, the attack from evil comes heavy…. through whatever avenue they can use…..object: to bring you out of there. So praying in the Spirit with the Lord is very important. You note: You must prevail. No matter the accusations, slander and disruptions.
You pray for continued courage to speak His heart and to warn of things that are to come. You pray that all may realize His mercy and longing for all to turn to Him. You know your breath is in His hand as well as all your steps. Your time is in His hands and is not your own any longer…. the nights belong to Him as well as the mornings and afternoon. You smile as you know your prayer has been answered…… He is making your life a living sacrifice…….
The world has died to you as well as you have died to the world. But you take a deep breath, because now you live unto God by His righteousness. You finally are understanding that scripture that you have meditated on for ever it seems…..Galatians 2:20, I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me, and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God who loved me and gave Himself for me.
You wonder often what are the sufferings of Jesus? Are they sickness? Was He sick here? Are they the rejection and slander from His own brethren? That He went through here. Slandered as a criminal when He had done nothing wrong? That He died for here… Through it all………
His love never fails. I pray my love for Him never fails Him through the shaking, so help me, God! Selah!
