Hi
I don't think the Lord would have given this alert if the day of great shaking was so very distant as to make this alert meaningless for us.
Personally, I began again earlier this year to make some preparations, as I had pretty much rested from preparations from 2013 thru 2019. Now, I have some additional items to add and update and I want to get those done in the next month if possible.
My wife and I love living in the mountains of Tennessee. God has made room for us. We will add your health to our prayers.
Thanks, Stephen

I have learned that when the Lord says soon to you it doesn't necessarily have the same meaning that we would apply to it. That being said, this isn't a very encouraging word to America.
How are you doing? How do you like living in Tennessee. Sure different than Florida in temperature.
I have contracted a disease called Morgellons and am taking a protocol from Logos Nutritionals and am much better. It takes around 18 months on this protocol (all natural) to heal. A lot of people with Morgellons also have lyme disease - I don't know if I do or not as the Western Block test for lyme isn't reliable, but if it is correct I don't also have lyme. It is thought that chem trails are responsible for this making it a man made disease.. People all over the world have it but the medical profession has NO clue about it or how to treat it. I'm blessed that I caught it early where a lot of people suffer for 2,3 or 4 years or longer before finding this protocol to help get well.
I have been reading the book of Isaiah. It can be rather confusing as the names of the cities, countries and people - a lot of them aren't commonly known to me who they are so I thought I might try to see where I could find information on this to help better comprehend it. I try to read daily but do miss some days. I realize that I have read the Bible for 30 or more years but not a lot in the OT.
My husband doesn't agree with my take on "things" Biblically or situation in America so its hard to do much of any preparing. Perhaps I wouldn't believe as I do if I hadn't had dreams from the Lord about America.
Blessings to you and Mary, Ruth Ann Martin

TODAY'S WORD
The word of the Lord came to me, beginning at the morning of Sunday,
November 17, 2019, through the afternoon of Tuesday, November 19, 2019,
when I heard the Holy Spirit speak the title of this article: "Near
Term Proximity Alert". I knew then that I was to write about that which
I have been given thus far. I will present only that which the Lord
gave and I will not speculate into any greater detail or specificity
than that which the Lord presented to me.
1) Ezekiel 6 and 7 were given to my wife, prophetess Mary,
on the morning of Sunday, November 17, 2019. At the same time, the Holy
Spirit quickened to me all that He has revealed to me regarding the
number 17 and its' biblical association with the wrath of God and
escapes from the wrath of God.
2) My wife read Ezekiel 6 and 7 to me on the afternoon of
Monday, November 18. While she was reading to me, the Holy Spirit
quickened to my remembrance that He had given Ezekiel 7 to me in
dramatic fashion on August 12, 2001: 30 days prior to the 911 attacks
in New York City. The End Has Come Upon AmericaThat word included this excerpt from Ezekiel 7:
"The word of the LORD came to me: Son of man, this is what the Sovereign
LORD says to America: The end! The end has come upon the four corners
of the land. The end is now upon you and I will unleash my anger against
you. I will judge you according to your conduct and repay you for all
your detestable practices. I will not look on you with pity or spare
you; I will surely repay you for your conduct and the detestable
practices among you. Then you will know that I am the LORD.This is what
the Sovereign LORD says: Disaster! An unheard of disaster is coming. The
end has come! The end has come! It has roused itself against you. It
has come! Doom has come upon you-you who dwell in the land. The time has
come, the day is near; there is panic, not joy, upon the mountains. I
am about to pour out my wrath on you and spend my anger against you; I
will judge you according to your conduct and repay you for all your
detestable practices. I will not look on you with pity or spare you; I
will repay you in accordance with your conduct and the detestable
practices among you. Then you will know that it is I the LORD who
strikes the blow. The day is here! It has come! Doom has burst forth,
the rod has budded, arrogance has blossomed! Violence has grown into a
rod to punish wickedness; none of the people will be left; none of that
crowd, no wealth, nothing of value. The time has come, the day has
arrived. Let not the buyer rejoice nor the seller grieve, for wrath is
upon the whole crowd. The seller will not recover the land he has sold
as long as both of them live, for the vision concerning the whole crowd
will not be reversed. Because of their sins, not one of them will
preserve his life. Though they blow the trumpet and get everything
ready, no one will go into battle, for my wrath is upon the whole crowd.
Outside is the sword, inside are the plague and famine; those in the
country will die by the sword, and those in the city will be devoured by
famine and plague. All who survive and escape will be in the mountains,
moaning like doves of the valleys, each because of his sins."
3) I went out to walk on the afternoon of Monday, November
18 and God showed me a vision of me, praying at my bench that overlooks
Scott Creek, that runs along the Western edge of my property here in
Tennessee. So, I began to walk over there and as I got there and began
to pray, the Holy Spirit quickened everything to me from the Compression
Vision that I had at the Washington Court Hotel in Washington, D.C.,
during our meeting there. The Compression Judgement And Prophetic Delays There, among other things, God revealed that:
"The horror that I beheld now as I watched this accordion file compress
in my vision is that now, due to all of the delays that have been
granted due to the prayers of the saints, wave two, wave three, wave
four and wave five have now all been compressed to come in without any
interruption during the remaining time from July 2013 through the end of
2015 (or later if their prayers for delay have moved back the end
point). Once the roads close in America, free unrestricted travel cross
country in America will not be restored. There will be no time granted
for restocking supplies. God will not grant any respite at all. No
breaks! All travel to other places will have to be on foot, through the
wilderness trails, once the roads close. This will be an unimaginably
horrible time. This compression judgement will lay at the feet of those
who have prayed for all of these prophetic delays for all eternity."
4) The compression vision came as I was preaching on July 4,
2013 from Leviticus 26 about the five waves of seven fold greater
judgements that God said He would pour out upon consistent and
repetitive disobedience. One of those five waves was poured out,
beginning with September 29, 2008, as America suffered a terrible
financial crash. Four more are prophesied to hit America. The terrible
news from that "Compression Vision" was that these waves would be
compressed and run together because of all the prophetic delays that God
has already granted in reprieves due to prayers and intercessions of
Christians since the mid 1990's.
5) Finally then, on the afternoon of Tuesday, November 19,
2019, I heard the Holy Spirit speak the title of this article: "Near
Term Proximity Alert". Both you and I must continue to seek the Lord to
know exactly how much time of additional grace this refers to. I knew
then that I was to write about that which I have been given thus far:
nothing more. I know that the Lord has given many previous warnings
that when this next set of four waves of judgement commence, it will
have something to do with a "17th day" of the month. The next "17th
day" will fall on December 17, 2019. That day will be 30 days from the
commencement of this period of revelation that began on November 17,
2019. That would mirror my 2001 experience previously related to you
regarding Ezekiel 7 and the 911 attacks, but it is no guarantee that
grace will expire at that time.. I simply present December 17 to you as
a day to watch and pray over. Other "17th days" that will follow could
also qualify and finally, I am led to watch and pray regarding Tebeth
17, the fourth Hebrew secular month, for which I have previous warnings.
Tebeth 17 will fall on sundown, January 13, 2020.
6) We have just reached a full ten year period since the
first wave of judgement hit this land in 2008/2009. God had brought
that first wave of judgement in to hit exactly seventeen years after He
had given me my first prophecy regarding the time of the end and events
to come in America. He had revealed prior to that time that He would
commence in fulfilling all the prophecies and visions He has given to me
on the seventeenth anniversary of when those revelations began to come
forth. Seventeen Years And Then The Events Will Come
So, this prophecy is not a thing whereof I have any doubt whatsoever.
The four, compressed waves will most certainly come upon America; they
will be unimaginably horrible and they will flow consecutively without
any break or respite. Now, God has issued a warning that this is a NEAR
TERM PROXIMITY ALERT. This is already a proven prophecy. It will most
certainly flow forth in God's time and that time is near, says the
Lord.
7)
God has used this ten year pause period to make his prophets appear to
be false, just as Has done many times in the past by delaying and
thereby provoking the scoffers and mockers to arise. Jeremiah
experienced this and now, so have I and so have you. I had warned my
prophetic partner that God would most likely do this very thing when we
met to pray for a week in Virginia in 2008. He was fixated on the year
2012 as the end date for all things American, but I had my doubts, and
history has proved me right. Very few remain vigilant in any way
regarding these things of prophecy, but God has released this word to
those few of you who continue to watch and pray and wait for all that
God has revealed. Those few prudent ones who still are able to see in
the Spirit can see that danger is approaching, and you will make the
appropriate preparation.

Who
will you trust to interpret prophecy? A minister who takes down a six
figure salary from a church, sells books and has his church collecting
tithes, first-fruits and three offering pulls, chasing after every red
cent he can grab? Do you really think he will tell you anything
controversial or novel that might decrease the take?
Look to God, open your spirits and engage your brains. The Historicists
brought us to the French Revolution and to the fall of the Papacy at
Rome. I received in vision that future economic troubles will begin at
France. Next month, a hard Brexit is scheduled, with incalculable
effects on the Euro. France has large debt but is too small to print
their own money. I smell near future risk. Paris Vision
Historicists brought us to the fulfillment of the 6th vial: the Turkish
Woe, with the dissolution of the Ottomon Turk empire in 1923 with
expectations among some of a future invigoration of it. I received word
in 1992 that Great Tribulation would begin in Turkey and the Slavic
Lands. Years ago, the Lord said to me: "Watch Turkey". Now, Turkey,
straddling East and West for several years, wants nuclear weapons. I
perceive current risk. Watch Turkey!
You are all walking around, believing interpretations of bible prophecy
that you were taught by men who were not prophets. They had their
motivations. The question is: do you want to know the truth or not?
Most people go through life and never make a choice about whom they will
serve. Choose you this day whom you will serve! Promontory Point"

I have been working for the last several years to appropriately document the historical fulfillment of prophecies that have already occurred. This trail leads up to the French Revolution and the fall of the Papacy.
The other big prophetic push in my ministry has always been that God reveals to me the future things. I was shown an actual, open, Ezekiel style vision in November, 1991 where God took me high in space and I then saw the Eiffel tower. Somehow, I "saw" financial collapse and anarchy spreading out from Paris to the whole world.
Jesus was with me in space: behind me. He then said "in sixty days, I will shake the Earth will great earthquakes and great floods. So, the events in Paris will trigger this terrible financial collapse and that will lead into the double judgements, so it is all one big connected, as it were, railroad. I did not know hardly anything about the importance of the French Revolution in Paris in 1991, but I know all about it today.
That financial collapse will be like nothing anyone has seen. All paper money will become worthless. There have been some events, like the Weimar Republic collapse, that are close to what will occur. Silver coins will be useful for a time. Then, barter will be the only thing remaining.

There has been a couple articles on yahoo about the Cascadia Region and the EQ that looks like it is heating up to go off. Apparently it is being watched carefully. I was unaware of this as my attn has always been on the one in the Midwest as it is the closest to where we live in Michigan.
Our weather has been beautiful the last few days except for a good steady rain most of the day Saturday. Cool at night and warm but not too warm during the day. My family was able to get all their crops planted about a week late. They are doing well as we have had fairly consistent rain but not like it was in the spring. I read that prices are going up for food due to many farmers in the Midwest not being able to plant crops due to flooding etc from the abundant rain.
I was in Paris, France about 25 years ago and was introduced to round abouts there, now we have them in Michigan. The ones in Paris are much simpler then the ones here. Its funny in a way that you mentioned The French Revolution because when we were in London on the same trip when we were in Paris, we saw the play LesMiserables about the French Revolution.
I have been hearing a fair amount about the financial status of our govt debt and our inability to pay it back and America going bankrupt, recently. What do you know about this and the effects it will have on Americans.

The
Lord recalled this event to me this morning by His Spirit, as I was
praying
about the coming together of the prophecies. This is really more of an
image than any complicated word, so I will begin with the image of
Promontory Point, UT. Perhaps, it will help the reader tie together the
various concepts I present on my website.
May 10, 1869. a little more than 150 years ago, the presidents of the
Union Pacific and Central Pacific railroads met in Promontory, Utah, and
drove a ceremonial last spike into a rail line that connects their
railroads. Transcontinental railroad travel was now possible for the
first time in U.S. history. This ended the long history of westward
travel by wagon train. Three companies worked together to accomplish
this: two combined their efforts, working eastward from California.
One pushed westward from Iowa.
I was pondering these things as I have just completed the 09/01/2017 (Updated 09/14/2019)
PROPHECY: Revelation Spreadsheet Analysis Tool. This Spreadsheet
primarily presents the historical way in which the Book of Revelation
events have been fulfilled and it begins with the time of John and runs
until the present day and then into the future.
Let us start looking at prophecy as if it were a railroad, travelling
down the train tracks toward Promontory Point, from the symbolic West:
the past. Consider the simple tracking of the development of these
beasts. We see that the Rise of the pagan Roman Empire: a beast with
seven heads and ten horns (with crowns on the seven heads), received a
fatal head wound in 476 AD with the fall of the Roman Empire. This
first fatal head wound came about through a series of attacks from Goths
who were residing in the present day areas of Spain, France and areas
North of Italy up to the Black Sea. We are told in Revelation 13:3 that
this fatal head wound would be healed.
Travelling further East, next to arise, we then see the rise of a second
beast, having seven heads and ten horns (with crowns on the ten horns).
This ten king empire headed by the Papacy formed in 533 AD and began
to fall in 1793 AD in Paris, France when this beast received its' fatal
head wound. By 1868, The Pope had been arrested and Rome had been
occupied. We are not told anywhere in a clear fashion that this beast
will be healed of its' fatal head wound, yet this is what history
reveals. Perhaps, this is one possible interpretation of what is hinted
at in Revelation 17:8 where:
"The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the
bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth
shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the
foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is
not, and yet is."
Truly, this second, Papacy related beast appeared to be dead in 1868,
yet Mussolini restored the Vatican to Papal control in 1920 and today,
nearly all Christians walk around believing in end times doctrine
regarding the rapture, the antichrist, a rebuilt temple and a host of
other events they believe will occur that all originated with the Pope's
men.
So, evidently, this second beast has been healed, once again, but the
previous two incarnations of this beast lead us to believe that it will
oppress by the same spirit, but the form of its' operation will differ
in appearance. Both of the two previous incarnations of the beast were
killers: the Papacy related beast that controlled ten kings killed more
than 50 million people. How will this present day beast kill? I
suspect it will kill, perhaps primarily, through false doctrine, as
explained above. Believers will fall away when tribulation arises and
no rapture provides a rescue. That killing will be eternal killing.
Let us now change our vantage point, and start looking at it, travelling
down the train tracks toward Promontory Point, from the symbolic East:
the future. The Lord began revealing future things to me in 1991.
This is the track He started me out on because I was a futurist at that
point, believing in the left behind and all of the other false doctrine
right along with the rest of you, because that is what I was taught from
pulpits and study bibles. It did not take long for me to have problems
in believing the pre tribulation rapture theory, but I was receiving
various visions of tremendous catastrophic events that were still
future.
Very early in my ministry, I saw a vision of a re-enacted French
Revolution that would sweep the world. In that, there is a lot of
evidence that many of these already fulfilled, past events will be
fulfilled in a wider scale in the not too distant future. Read my
article: "European Open Vision and A Financial Reverse Barometer" This vision showed me that a worldwide financial collapse and spread of anarchy lies ahead that will spread out from Paris.
Later, after the receipt of many prophecies, words and visions and
collaboration with other prophets, I was shown that this time of
tremendous financial and governmental upheaval will lead, inexorably
into the double judgements of Revelation 18:4. The contents of these
double judgements I have divided into seven types of Tier One
judgements: all of which will be double judgements. You can read about
them here: "Report From The Tower-The Double Judgements"
You will notice that the two train tracks meet at Paris, which for me, is my Promontory Point.

down the train tracks toward Promontory Point, from the symbolic West:
the past. Consider the simple tracking of the development of these
beasts. We see that the Rise of the pagan Roman Empire: a beast with
seven heads and ten horns (with crowns on the seven heads), received a
fatal head wound in 476 AD with the fall of the Roman Empire. This
first fatal head wound came about through a series of attacks from Goths
who were residing in the present day areas of Spain, France and areas
North of Italy up to the Black Sea. We are told in Revelation 13:3 that
this fatal head wound would be healed.
Travelling further East, next to arise, we then see the rise of a second
beast, having seven heads and ten horns (with crowns on the ten horns).
This ten king empire headed by the Papacy formed in 533 AD and began
to fall in 1793 AD in Paris, France when this beast received its' fatal
head wound. By 1868, The Pope had been arrested and Rome had been
occupied. We are not told anywhere in a clear fashion that this beast
will be healed of its' fatal head wound, yet this is what history
reveals. Perhaps, this is one possible interpretation of what is hinted
at in Revelation 17:8 where:
"The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the
bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth
shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the
foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is
not, and yet is."
Truly, this second, Papacy related beast appeared to be dead in 1868,
yet Mussolini restored the Vatican to Papal control in 1920 and today,
nearly all Christians walk around believing in end times doctrine
regarding the rapture, the antichrist, a rebuilt temple and a host of
other events they believe will occur that all originated with the Pope's
men.
So, evidently, this second beast has been healed, once again, but the
previous two incarnations of this beast lead us to believe that it will
oppress by the same spirit, but the form of its' operation will differ
in appearance. Both of the two previous incarnations of the beast were
killers: the Papacy related beast that controlled ten kings killed more
than 50 million people. How will this present day beast kill? I
suspect it will kill, perhaps primarily, through false doctrine, as
explained above. Believers will fall away when tribulation arises and
no rapture provides a rescue. That killing will be eternal killing.
Let us now change our vantage point, and start looking at it, travelling
down the train tracks toward Promontory Point, from the symbolic East:
the future. The Lord began revealing future things to me in 1991.
This is the track He started me out on because I was a futurist at that
point, believing in the left behind and all of the other false doctrine
right along with the rest of you, because that is what I was taught from
pulpits and study bibles. It did not take long for me to have problems
in believing the pre tribulation rapture theory, but I was receiving
various visions of tremendous catastrophic events that were still
future.
Very early in my ministry, I saw a vision of a re-enacted French
Revolution that would sweep the world. In that, there is a lot of
evidence that many of these already fulfilled, past events will be
fulfilled in a wider scale in the not too distant future. Read my
article: "European Open Vision and A Financial Reverse Barometer" This vision showed me that a worldwide financial collapse and spread of anarchy lies ahead that will spread out from Paris.
Later, after the receipt of many prophecies, words and visions and
collaboration with other prophets, I was shown that this time of
tremendous financial and governmental upheaval will lead, inexorably
into the double judgements of Revelation 18:4. The contents of these
double judgements I have divided into seven types of Tier One
judgements: all of which will be double judgements. You can read about
them here: "Report From The Tower-The Double Judgements"
You will notice that the two train tracks meet at Paris, which for me, is my Promontory Point.

Charles Haddon Spurgeon was asked, "How do you defend the bible", which is, in essence, how do you defend the truth?
He said, "like a Lion...I open its' cage and turn it loose".
I do not present futurism like anyone else who has ever presented it. I am a prophet of the Lord. I present "prophetic futurism". One historicist who attempted something future to his time was Robert Fleming. By his time, I am referring to "post French Revolution". He speculated that one of the 1,260 year periods that would have to do with the papacy would end in the year 2000. At least, he was aware in 1701 that the papacy would probably still be on the Earth in the year 2000. Has there ever been a prophet who was a historicist? Answer: Daniel. So, I am not even the first.
Fleming turned out to be right. He did arrive at the truth of the 1,260 year long prophetic ruler...of several 1,260 year long periods of great tribulation. I use that to calculate a 1,260 term that runs from 800 AD to 2060 AD. Plus, God has shown me several of the double judgements in vision form and has explained to me that some judgements will be double because the same scripture will be fulfilled twice.
Right now, the biggest question I can think of to get an answer from the Lord about is this: will the prophecy about the fatal head wound to the beast be fulfilled a second time? Will the papacy receive political power over the ten nations of Europe, or perhaps over a much wider area than that?
There are more people who are open to this truth than you think, and more will really come on board if the fatal head wound prophecy of Revelation 13:3 is fulfilled a second time. Should that occur, it will begin the most horrific double judgement the world will ever see.
In the meantime, my job is to tell God's truth and to expose the lies that are spoken in 99.8% of the pulpits of this world. I am teaching some people about all of it now. Yes, the numbers who will even listen are just a few. The Roman Catholic church has obtained doctrinal supremacy over the entirety of the Protestant and Charismatic churches in that they all preach Roman Catholic apocalyptic prophetic understanding. Doctrinally, the fatal head wound has already been healed almost completely. Politically, the Pope is doing everything he can to make it happen.
What you need to do is work through my seven part Puzzle Pieces series. Take your time with it. Then, you will see it clearly and you won't doubt it any more. I don't have any doubt about it. Why should you?

Hello Stephen
I believe, when you were still doing a program with Matthew Stephen, and you made some comments that caused me to ask you for more information on what you said, it was from the Lord. I have read and reread and reread the 2 books you referred me to. I could not read Horae Apocalypticae because I couldn't read the writing as it is written.
The funny thing about the book "The Present Reign of Jesus Christ" is this. I read it at night when I went to bed. When done I must have left it on the bed. The next morning I grabbed up the bedding to wash it and guess what - I washed the book also. I had waited to buy it until the $90 price tag came down to $35 o n Amazon, then I bought it. And it was a used copy to but in good condition. Well when I discovered it in my washing I was upset with myself. I had to take every page and carefully pull it away from the next page and leave it to dry, watching it so that no 2 pages dried together. No cover remained but the book is still intact. The 3rd time I read it was after this mishap. Its funny now but it wasn't then.
Now that you are bringing this teaching up, I believe it but sometimes struggle with it because I was brought up in Protestant churches and taught this until I was baptized by the Holy Spirit about the age of 40. A lot of things changed after that and I eventually started questioning this teaching wanting to know the truth. I couldn't make the futurist teaching work and decided the rapture came after the 7 yr tribulation and started sharing this with people. Then I met you on the program and things changed to what I believed again. Of course no one believes that way that I know so it sometimes is a challenge. How do you present and deal with others who don't believe the same and just don't want to hear anything else from what they think. I don't think they will believe this unless the Lord reveals it to them.
Two people can read the same scriptures and interpret them differently. I guess it has to be shown you by the Lord.

TODAY'S WORD
John 14:30: "Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for the prince of this world cometh, and hath nothing in me."
We know from this verse that Satan, the "god of this world" according to
1 Corinthians, has nothing in Jesus and never did have anything. He
said these words in the context where He was directing His disciples to
keep His commandments, His words and His sayings. Elsewhere, He had
this say regarding His doctrine:
John 7:16 "Jesus answered them, and said, My doctrine is not mine, but
his that sent me. If any man will do his will, he shall know of the
doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speak of myself."
So, there is a way to find out and know whether the doctrines we believe
are from God or whether they are of the devil, or even if they are the
constructs of men. We will find out the truth if we "do the will of
Jesus".
We do not know exactly what Satan was coming to look for in the Son Of
God, finding nothing, but we know the result: the devil couldn't do
anything with Him. The devil was never able to get him sick, or down
with the flu. We never hear of a coughing and sneezing Jesus.
Allergies apparently had no hold on Him. No cancer could come nigh His
dwelling. The devil was never able to even harass him until the time
came for Him to be offered up according to the Father's will.
So, now, we come to the all important question: When the devil arrives at your house, what does he have in you?
What are you walking around with that belongs to him? What could this
possibly be referring to? Perhaps, you have been tresspassing on his
turf, spending time in bars and even more seedy venues. He will come to
extract a toll. Perhaps he can find some sin in you? All sin belongs
to him: it is his tool to separate you from God. He uses it like a
prosecuting attorney to make his case of accusation regarding you before
the Father. It is his evidence.
Or, perhaps, it is something else. Jesus cares so much that we keep HIS
doctrines, HIS sayings and HIS commandments. Perhaps you are walking
around with some of the doctrines of the devil, or sayings of the devil,
or even commandments of the devil. After all, he is like a Xerox copy
of God. He copies everything God does.
What doctrines, you say? What commandments?
Charles Larkin, circa 1920, was the father of modern apocalyptic
prophetic teaching and understanding. His charts were the basis for all
modern day futurist teaching.
Clarence Larkin's Charts and his book, Dispensational Truth, is famous
in the Futurist camp. He is revered as a Saint of Futurism.
Larkin wrote in "Dispensational Truth" that his own school of thought,
Futurism, was a Jesuit counter reformational scheme hatched with the
intent of taking the heat off of the Pope and casting all prophetic
expectation into the indeterminate future. Larkin said:
"The Futurist School interprets the language of the Apocalypse
'literally,' except such symbols as are named as such and hold that the
whole of the Book, from the end of the third chapter, is yet 'future'
and unfulfilled, and that the greater part of the Book, from the
beginning of chapter six to the end of chapter nineteen, describes what
shall come to pass during the last week of 'Daniel's Seventy Weeks.' . .
. In its present form it may be said to have originated at the end of
the Sixteenth Century with the Jesuit Ribera who actuated by the same
motive as the Jesuit Alcazar, sought to rid the Papacy of the stigma of
being called the 'Antichrist', and so referred the prophecies of the
Apocalypse to the distant future. This view was accepted by the Roman
Catholic Church and was for a long time confined to it, but, strange to
say, it has wonderfully revived since the beginning of the Nineteenth
Century, and among Protestants . . ., The "Futurist" interpretation of
scripture is the one employed in this book."
The teaching of the pre-tribulation rapture and a future antichrist
arise as a direct result of this approach to prophetic interpretation.
Larkin had this to say about historicism:
"The 'Historical School'. . . interprets the Apocalypse as a series of
prophecies predicting the events that were to happen in the world and in
the Church from John’s day to the end of time. The advocates of the
School interpret the symbols of the Book of Revelation as referring to
certain historical events that have and are happening in the world. They
claim that "Antichrist" is a "System" rather than a 'Person', and is
represented by the Harlot Church of Rome. They interpret the "Time
Element" in the Book on the 'Year Day Scale.' This school has had some
very able and ingenious advocates. This view, like the preceding was
unknown to the early church. It appeared about the middle of the Twelfth
Century, and was systematized in the beginning of the Third Century by
the Abbot Joachim. Subsequently it was adopted and applied to the Pope
by the forerunners and leaders of the Reformation, and may be said to
have reached its zenith in Mr. Elliott's 'Horae Apocalypticae.' It is
frequently called the Protestant interpretation because it regards
Popery as exhausting all that has been predicted of the Antichristian
power. It was a powerful and formidable weapon in the hands of the
leaders of the Reformation, and the conviction of its truthfulness
nerved them to 'love not their lives unto the death'. It was the secret
of the martyr heroism of the Sixteenth Century."
When the prince of this world comes to visit your house, will he find anything that belongs to him?

Prophetic Historicism versus Futurism
#mi
Date: 08 Aug 2019 09:06:58 -0700
TODAY'S WORD
There are two major positions when it comes to interpreting the
apocalyptic prophecies of the Bible. One belief advances the premise
that the prophecies of the Bible largely pertain to the end of the age,
and are either being fulfilled now or are yet to come. This position is
known as Futurism.
The opposing position is called Historicism. I advance Prophetic
Historism because I am a prophet of the Lord Jesus Christ. Those holding
the Historicist position contend that the prophecies of the Bible are
fulfilled in the past and some Historicist's look for future
fulfillments of those same prophecies as a continuation of events that
are already in progress or, in some cases, a reenactment of something
that has already occurred.
Historicism was the belief of the vast majority between 1520 and 1920. Since, 1920, Futurism has held sway
Major Historicist Positions
1. The prophecy of Daniel's 70 Weeks, found in Daniel Chapter 9 has already been fulfilled in its entirety.
2. The Antichrist is not one particular man, but has been fulfilled and
is still being fulfilled by the papacy of the Roman Catholic Church.
3. The prophesied ten-horn kingdom of Revelation 13 and 17 existed at
the time of the dissolution of the Roman Empire, and the papacy rose up
among these ten kings.
4. The Great Tribulation lasted 1,260 years. Some Historicists believe
it has passed, while others do not. Varying periods of 1,260 years,
with different starting dates and ending dates, are described. Some of
these dates are still considered to stretch into the future by some
Historicists.
5. Matthew 24 is seen as partially fulfilled by most Historicists. Some believe it to be totally fulfilled.
The Futurist position (excerpts taken here and in other places in this
article from Irvin Baxter's article: "Historicism vs Futurism")
1. There is a gap between the 69th and 70th week of Daniel's 70 Weeks"
prophecy. The first 69 weeks have been fulfilled. The 70th week, a
seven-year period, is yet to come to pass.
2. Though there have been many antichrists throughout the years, the
Bible prophesies one Antichrist who will rule a one-world government for
three and one-half years immediately before the coming of Jesus Christ
at Armageddon.
3. The prophesied ten-horn kingdom is yet to appear on earth, and the Antichrist will arise among these ten kings.
4. The Great Tribulation is yet future and will last for three and
one-half years. (Some Futurists believe it will last for seven years.)
It will occur during the last half of Daniel's 70th week, and will be
terminated when the Antichrist is destroyed by Jesus Christ at
Armageddon.
5. Most of Jesus' prophecies in Matthew 24 deal with events of the endtime and have yet to be fulfilled.
Let us consider item #1 above:
Has the prophecy of Daniel's 70 Weeks already been fulfilled in its entirety?
Daniel 9:24-27
King James Version
24 "Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city,
to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make
reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness,
and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy.
25 Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the
commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the
Prince shall be seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks: the street
shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times.
26 And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not
for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy
the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood,
and unto the end of the war desolations are determined.
27 And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the
midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to
cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it
desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be
poured upon the desolate."
Who is the "he" referring to in verse 27 and who will confirm the covenant for seven years? That is the important question.
Historicists believe the Messiah is the only one who could possibly have
fulfilled and who will ever fulfill verse 24, and who is explicitly
mentioned in verse 25 and 26 as the subject of those verses, and He is
the "he" who was prophesied to confirm the covenant in verse 27. A
person referred to as "the prince that shall come" in verse 26 is
believed to be the Roman General Titus, who destroyed Jerusalem in 70
A.D.
Futurists teach that it will be the "prince that shall come"--the
Antichrist. They cast this prophecy out to an indeterminable future.
Yes, this question is very easy to answer.
Futurists erroneously claim that Daniel 9:24-27 refers to the same
"abomination of desolation" as that referred to in Daniel 11 and Daniel
12. That is not the case. There was nothing set up in the temple by
the Romans during the time frame of fulfillment of this Daniel 9
prophecy (457 B.C. to 34 A.D.) Daniel 9 does not say anything at all
about anyone who "shall place the abomination that maketh desolate". It
is an entirely different event from that which is referred to in Daniel
11.
The Daniel 11:30-31 prophecy tells us in no uncertain terms that it is
definitely an Antichrist (the king of the north) and his followers who
take away the daily sacrifice and place the Abomination of Desolation.
This was fulfilled in great detail by Antiochus Epiphanes in 167 B.C.
The whole story is painstakingly detailed in 1 Maccabees, Chapter 1 in
the Apocrypha.
30 "For the ships of Chittim shall come against him: therefore he shall
be grieved, and return, and have indignation against the holy covenant:
so shall he do; he shall even return, and have intelligence with them
that forsake the holy covenant.
31 And arms shall stand on his part, and they shall pollute the
sanctuary of strength, and shall take away the daily sacrifice, and they
shall place the abomination that maketh desolate."
This Daniel 11 passage is obviously not referring to the Messiah. Would
the Messiah ever "have indignation against the holy covenant?†Would
He ever "pollute the sanctuary of strength?†Obviously not! The
entirety of Daniel 11:21-45 is referring to the actions of the king of
the north--an antichrist named Antiochus Epiphanes, who really lived and
died and fulfilled all of these things to the very letter about two
hundred years before Jesus Christ was crucified and resurrected. Will
this have any reenactment at the time of the end? Daniel 9 certainly
has nothing to say about that or to fortell it.
Futurists are confusing the fact that Jesus Christ put an end to
sacrifice and offering by pouring out His blood in an atoning sacrifcie
with the actions of an antichrist, two hundred years earlier, who poured
pigs blood upon the altars of Israel.
Confirming the covenant for seven years
Daniel 9:27 says that "he" will confirm the covenant for one week (seven
years). Historicists say that Jesus confirmed the covenant of the New
Testament during his three and one-half years of ministry. He was then
crucified in the midst of the week (after 3 1/2 years), and then was
caught up into heaven 43 days later. The apostles then fulfilled the
balance of the seven year period in their preaching to the Jews, prior
to the taking of the gospel to the Gentiles.
Futurists argue that there is no historical or biblical proof that God
turned from Jew to Gentile exactly three and one-half years after the
crucifixion. Admittedly, this is true, but we accept many things the
bible tells us without demanding actual proof that they occurred exactly
as the bible renders them. Do we demand proof that Jonah was swallowed
by a great fish? Isaiah prophesied concerning the Messiah in chapter
50, verse 6 that His beard..His hair, would be plucked off. We believe
that happened to Jesus, but we have no historical or biblical proof that
it occurred. We know for a fact that there was a gap in time between
the crucifixion of Jesus and the time that was set for the gospel to go
forth to the Gentiles. Daniel set this gap of time at 3 and 1/2 years.
I accept it.
Futurism is devastated right here in the prophecies of Daniel. Chapter 9
is an entirely separate event from Chapters 11 and 12. All of Futurism
falls apart without the ability to link these two separate events and
combine them into one. Futurists have been so desperate to accomplish
this that they have actually added these three words out of thin air,
"OF THE TEMPLE" to Daniel 9:27 in the NIV version. That is correct! The
book of Daniel says that Daniel had an excellent spirit, yet the Hebrew
word for "TEMPLE" occurs nowhere in verses 24 through 27. The NIV
translators just plugged them in here, insinuating that Daniel had been
vague and imprecise and had omitted them in an oversight. Daniel was
excellent! He was not vague or imprecise. No other major bible
translation includes the word "TEMPLE".
We have seen two abominations in Daniel: one occurred when our Messiah
was crucified. It caused a terrible desolation to later be unleashed
upon Jerusalem. It did not involve the setting up of anything in the
temple or the defiling of the temple in any way. Earlier, there had
been such an abomination of desolation, set up in the temple, during the
time of Antiochus Epiphanes. It is this abomination that Jesus refers
to in Matthew 24:15-21 that was to be reenacted or fulfilled again in
some later time. When would that time be?
15 "When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of
by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him
understand:)
16 Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains...
21 For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be."
Jesus said that the Abomination of Desolation would begin the Great
Tribulation. Futurists erroneously claim that the Great Tribulation
lasts for three and one-half years, as they wrongly cast Daniel 9:24-27
into the future. It was fulfilled by the work of Messiah. It Is
Finished!
Matthew 24:29 tells us that, immediately after the Great Tribulation,
the sun will be darkened, the moon will not give her light, the stars
will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken.
This is apocalyptic language that is after the order of that which was
signfied to John in Revelation 1:1. The Great Tribulation began in 606
A.D. when the Pope, an apostate christian, sat in the temple of God (the
church) and proclaimed that he was God. This began the persecuting
period of the great tribulation that lasted for 1,260 years, until 1866,
when the last of the Kings of Europe had thrown off the Papal yoke.
There are other periods of 1,260 years still running: one from 800 A.D.
when Charlemagne granted headship over those ten kings of Revelation 13
to the Pope for the first time, unto 2060, when we wait to see what
events will ensue. This event, performed by the Pope in 606 A.D., was
the fulfillment of the Abomination of Desolation prophecy of Jesus as
recorded for us in Matthew 24:15. Please also remember that much of
Matthew 24, Luke 17, Luke 21 and Mark 13 refers to the events up to and
including 70 A.D.
The Apostle Paul describes the Abomination of Desolation in II
Thessalonians 2:3-4. This is fulfilled by the actions of the Pope in
606 A.D.
3 "Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come,
except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed,
the son of perdition;
4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or
that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God,
shewing himself that he is God."
Paul says here that the man of sin, the Antichrist, will sit "In the
temple of God." Where did Jesus say that the Abomination of Desolation
would take place in Matthew 24:15?--In the holy place which was in the
temple. Paul went on to say that the Antichrist would sit in the temple
of God claiming to be God. This is the event known as the Abomination of
Desolation. It is placed by the Antichrist, not by Jesus Christ. It
actually happened in 606 A.D.
What is important?
The Historicist vs. Futurist discussion is not a salvation issue, unless
it leads one to believe in a pre-tribulation rapture that never happens
and subsequently, that one whose false hope had just evaporated falls
away from the faith. Otherwise, this should not be allowed to become
divisive in the church. It is important, and it can effect salvation.
We gain nothing by doing anything more than contending earnestly for
these things.

The Papacy Is The Antichrist!
#mi
Date: 04 Aug 2019 03:59:35 +0000
TODAY'S WORD
I was thinking about...actually convicted about it that my website had
no clear statement in it to the effect that "The Papacy Is THE
ANTICHRIST!" I believe it is true. My mission here is to make a brief
defense of that proposition.
I previously wrote an article entitled Single Antichrist.
You can look at that one if you want to dig deeper into all of the
antichrists that the epistle of 1 John chapter 2 alludes to. Let us be
settled as to one fact that been established since John Huss first spoke
it in 1416 and Martin Luther first wrote it in 1520: One of those 1
John antichrists is THE ANTICHRIST. The meaning of this is that this
ANTICHRIST is also the man of lawlessness, the son of perdition of 2
Thessalonians 2. He is that one who "opposeth and exalteth himself
above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God
sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God." He has
been sitting in the temple of God since 606 A.D., proclaiming his
infalibility and his godhood on the Earth as every Pope has done since
that date.
Defenders of these Popes claim to have preached that the Heavenly Father
is God and that Jesus is the Christ. In saying this, they claim to
fall under the exemptions provided in 1 John Chapter 2. They claim that
with their mouths, they have not denied that Jesus Christ came in the
flesh. They ignore this truth that is eternally fatal to them:
Titus 1:16
"They profess that they know God, but in works they deny him, being
abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate". This
Papacy denies God the Father and God the Son by preaching another gospel
of faith and deeds: It is a false, lying salvation for those who keep
their list of sacraments alone and it reduces the position of the only
redeemer to that of co-redeemer at the side of His mother Mary. Yes,
they deny God with their words, their doctrines and their deeds. They
deny that Jesus is the Christ by introducing other redeemers and other
requirements for salvation, along with other mediators between God and
man. Jesus Christ is the only mediator between God and man! The Roman
Catholic Christ is not our Christ.
This ONE ANTICHRIST is the same beast portrayed in Revelation 13 and
Revelation 17 that will display multiple anniversaries of the duration
of its power over periods of 1,260 years. These may be seen to have
occurred according to the Julian time measure and by prophetic years
that are comprised of 360 days. Some of these periods have come and
gone, giving clear proof as to the validity of this method of
interpretation and understanding. Some of these periods, along with the
pouring of the Vials of Revelation 16, have been pouring upon the beast
and will continue to pour into the indefinite future. Clearly, One
Thousand, Two Hundred and Sixty years of murder, torture and then of the
drinking of the blood of the saints could not have been accomplished by
ONE MAN, but it has been the product of an unbroken succession of Popes
since 606 A.D.
For proof of these allegations, go to the links provided to the Revelation Puzzle Pieces series at the end of this article.
Knowing that these facts have been established for more than five
hundred years and that they have been sealed by the blood of more than
FIFTY MILLION saints of God, we boldly state that we not are to look for
any other man to be THE ANTICHRIST. Should a temple be built in
Jerusalem and should animal sacrifice be reinstated, it will not be a
TEMPLE OF GOD, as 2 Thessalonians 2 requires. Should a sexy,
charismatic politician or movie actor arise, it will not matter for in
order to be THE ANTICHRIST, you must have begun as one of us: you must
be an apostate from the true faith! Truly, the Papacy is apostate to
the core. It will matter not who might stand in it proclaiming his
Godhood or not: he will not be THE ANTICHRIST! None other than a
succession of Popes can be THE ANTICHRIST, the son of perdition, the man
of sin and the beast that rises up from the sea as we find them in
scripture.
All others will be pretenders. All those who oppose this teaching are
liars and are sent forth from the father of lies: the devil.
My advice to you is this: Are you coasting in your faith? Are you
biding your time, neglecting the reading of your bible; neglecting
prayer; busy with worldly activities and lazy in your spiritual
duties...waiting until you see the commencement of construction of this
mythical temple in Jerusalem? Are you waiting to see your rock star,
left behind antichrist before you get going in the building up of your
most holy faith? Are you refusing to study the book of Revelation
because you think that none of it will effect you because you will fly
away in the rapture? ....................................You had better
get going quickly. You have based your delays upon falsehoods and your
hopes are false hopes. Your false hopes are about to suddenly
evaporate. Repent of your lazy wickedness and come to the feet of
Jesus.

Stephen L. Bening

Two hundred and nine years ago, in the year of our Lord 1809, a very confident and extraordinary book was published. It was called the "Apocalyptic Key". The book itself was predominantly a reprint of the 1701 edition of Robert Fleming's only prophetic work: "The Rise And Fall Of The Papacy" <br><br>
I spent the evening last night reading the first book, published in 1701. There is a sadness present that crops up several times in that 1701 edition. He mentions several times that he is under pressure to present his work in a minimum number of pages. Obviously, his benefactor had placed some pretty strict limits on how many pages he could take to present this work. I also got the feeling that he knew that this was his only chance to get these prophetic ideas out in print, so he was really trying to make the best of it and was feeling hindered at the same time. The ideas and concepts are not so easy. He had not very many words to plainly explain a great many things. <br><br>
So today, I was taking a look at the 1809 reprint, which was reprinted again in 1848 with much celebration. Obviously, Dr. Fleming was not alive in 1809 or in 1848 to oversee the reprintings of his work. The reprint includes excerpts from the works of many of the important writers of Fleming's day. Fleming's sadness is still there, surrounded by all this celebration. What was the big deal? Why the reprint? <br><br>
Seventeen biblical prophecy writers had speculated that the beginning of the fall of the Papacy was at hand before it occurred. Dr. Fleming was one of the seventeen. They had all done so, in print, prior to the outbreak of the French Revolution in 1794. Their names can be found at <a href="https://historicist.info/articles/predictions-of-the-french-revolution/">Predictions of the French Revolution by Lee Roy Froom</a> <br><br>
Dr. Fleming's single solitary prophetic work, printed in 1701, was the only one to take an educated guess at the starting date of the French Revolution: 1794. He hit the bullseye. He took another educated guess at the date of the fall of the monarchy in France and the further blow this would deal to the Papacy: 1848 The only problem was the almost nobody knew about it 1701. <br><br>
Dr. Fleming was a pastor in Scotland at that time and then became a lecturer in London, but his areas of concern while he was in London appear to have primarily been political. He was also a frequent lecturer on the liberal side of the Calvinistic controversy. He did have the ear of William III, the King of Scotland and he consulted with him on ecclesiastical matters. All in all, I conclude that he was spending his time primarily in areas other than those covered in the Apocalyptic Key. His fame at 1794 and at 1848 relates almost totally to the Apocalyptic Key, but this work appears to have languished without much attention from its' original publication in 1701 until his death in 1716. <br><br>
I can really identify with Robert Fleming. I had an astounding prophecy in my hands on July 13, 1992. I lived in South Florida and God had told me that "I will use the name of Andrew to mark judgement this generation". I was also told to "watch August 24, 1992". I was looking for a great earthquake along the San Andreas fault until August 17, 1992, when tropical storm Andrew formed off the Azores. I warned my church in writing. Nobody paid much attention until the hurricane was bearing down on us and Sunday church service had to be cancelled. <br><br>
I was told by the pastor at that time that they would have me in to the office to have a look over the rest of the prophetic I had received AFTER the hurricane passed. It passed and they forgot all about it. So yes, I have a pretty good idea how Robert Fleming might have felt if he could have lived to see 1794 and even further to 1848. Surely, he might have thought, these pastors and theologians will listen to me now. God has proven me right. But alas, in not too many years after 1848, all was forgotten. <br><br>
Today, almost nobody knows his name and nobody knows his story. More importantly, nobody knows the Apocalyptic Key he discovered: the key to unlocking the correct understanding of the Book of Revelation. Incredibly, everything he learned has been forgotten by almost everyone. Those prophetic things that people are looking for now will never occur. Those prophetic things that they believe they will never be here to see are those things that will come upon them. Very soon now, there will be nothing but the sudden evaporation of false hopes in the churches and meeting houses, wherever you find them, on God's green earth. Dr. Fleming would surely sigh and wonder how such a thing could have possibly come to pass. After all, he wrote his book and the predictions came to pass. Surely, everyone would know about it and no one would be caught like a thief in the night by it. <br><br>
You can still download both of Fleming's prophetic books: the original and the 1809 reprint. They are a bit difficult to read for the twenty first century twitter user who probably could slog through a page or two before putting it down...too boring...too difficult as the current day reader probably thinks that a Goth is a punk rocker. But alas, all is not lost..........................you can still get your apocalyptic key to unlock the secrets of the Book of Revelation. <br><br>
I would start with THE REVELATION PUZZLE PIECES SERIES, which you can break up and study in 7 pieces to avoid overloading yourself with too much history, too soon: <br><br>

Updated 7/12/2019
Know
this: you do not have to participate in these terrible judgements.
These judgements are coming upon a world and an apostate church as a
thief in the night, but you can walk in the light, not in the darkness.
Those who walk in the light will walk into ever more incredible
presence and increasing glory of God as these judgements increase and
spread. Jesus is coming FOR His church, but before He does, He is
coming IN His church to once again fulfill Malachi 3, where it is
written that He will "come suddenly to His temple". Just before He
comes to form this Messiah filled church where He will rule with an iron
rod, according to Revelation 12:5, He has told me that His prophets, of
which I am one, will wield the iron rod. This iron rod speaks of the
power and authority in Christ that was carried into the wilderness for
such a long period of time according to Revelation 12. This power and
authority is returning and I am waiting expectantly to see it: I have
been assured that I will wield it in my lifetime. Jesus came out of a
despised place: Nazareth, where it was said "can anything good come out
of Nazareth". To such despised Nazareth places He will return IN His
church, for Jesus will certainly return His iron rod authority to
similar places and churches on the Earth where His people are
desperately seeking Him in the midst of their poverty and destitution.
In that day, greater works will He do IN His church than He did when He
walked the Earth almost 2000 years ago. Look up, for your redeemer is
drawing nigh.

http://www.angelfire.com/fl3/gammadim/tribvoice/today05212019.html
TODAY'S WORD
SUMMARY: WHAT HAS BEEN UPDATED?
There has been a lot of revamping done through this article since the last update in 2016.
Obviously, the whole tsunami house revelation has become an even
greater mystery as it was completed, but no "topping out" party was ever
held. Perhaps, we will be called upon to paint it again in the next
few years as often happens with our painting company and the event as it
was seen in the painter's dream will transpire. God alone knows. He
holds all of the wheels of time in His hands. Only now are we beginning
to see the Statue Of Liberty Vision
come into clear focus as it was seen by A.A. Allen in 1954 with the
Statue shown as standing, in a seemingly comical and nonsensical place,
in the middle of the Gulf of Mexico. Furthermore, he saw it as if he
was viewing it from a vantage point high over Venezuela, looking North.
So, it can take a long time for prophecy to take shape to the place
where it will make any sense to us as we try to figure it out. There
was no Southern border crisis in 1954. Prophesy is hard business.
Everyone wants to know when the events will occur and that is most often
the hardest piece of information to reckon out. God has said He will
lay it out prophetically as if you are looking through a blurry glass.
He has said He will only lay it out in PART, not in full. We have to
deal with a merciful Jesus and with interceding saints. Holding this
knowledge close to our hearts, we pray for endurance so that we will not
lose heart while we are waiting for the events to occur that will mark
the culmination of this age.
Our last update in 2016 came before the first of two total Solar Eclipses
that are set to cross the United States in 2017 and 2024: their paths
forming a giant X, the center of which passes through my birthplace,
Carbondale, Illinois. This appears to set off this seven year period as
a time period within which God will deal with America.
The newest development we are watching and dealing with is and has been
of concern since I saw an open vision in 1993 that showed a Persian Gulf
attack on one of our aircraft carriers. I was told that this event
would be like a first falling domino and would trigger many other
serious events. Right now, the USS Abraham Lincoln, a carrier that has
been named in a prophetic vision by another, has been deployed and is
stationed just outside the Persian Gulf, along with support vessels. A
few guided missile destroyers have been deployed inside the Persian
Gulf. Of additional concern to me is that the USS Arlington (24) has
been tasked for involvement in any proceedings. The rhetoric has been
heated. This event could flare with no additional warning here in the
21st week of the year: the week when the church was born almost 2000
years ago.
UPDATED ARTICLE
We prophets have been waiting on a number of judgements that God has
been showing us for more than twenty or in some cases thirty years or
ore. We call some of these "single staff judgements" and others "double
judgements". All of the judgements that have happened so far have been
"single staff" or "second tier". We are getting ready to enter into
the realm and time of the double judgements and the tier one judgements.
These will be extremely severe. You can only have a Revelation 18
double judgement when a prophet has previously declared that a judgement
would fall by a certain time, and then that time of judgement has been
delayed due to repentance or intercession. This is a principle that has
existed since the time of Elijah and Elisha and is described in detail
in the book of Second Kings. This has now been the case. We have seen
the delays that resulted due to much intercession that has been made by
interceding saints and now, we will all witness the doubling.
The double judgements were all called in through prophetic decrees by
the end of October, 2009, except for the unfinished business with
Boston, MA, which was finished by us in April, 2012. We began to call
in these double judgements in July, 2008. We did not know it at the
time, but this calling in of judgements by men had been prophesied fifty
four years earlier by prophet A.A. AllenThe Prophetic Ministry Of Calling In The Judgements
We fully expected many of the double judgements to commence in October,
2010, but they have been delayed as God has seen fit to do and I believe
most particularly due to the intercession of the young people movements
in this nation (IHOP and Jesus Culture). Now, as we head toward the
middle of 2019, we are seeing many signs that the judgements are ready
to escalate with great fury. America has once again gathered a big
portion of her Navy to the Persian and Arabian Gulf. They appear ready
to start any day now, but previous experience leads me to caution that
we may have a bit of time to wait just yet. We even expect to see the
double judgements now. We have said it over and over again that the
hardest thing to discern in prophecy is the time or manner of time when
all these things will be fulfilled. That verbiage is found in Peter's
epistle and it is still true of prophecy today.
These double judgements, when you see them, will be directly a
consequence of delays obtained by previous intercession where
righteousness has not resulted during the time period for which the
delay was granted. This principle, as we said previously, is biblical
and is found in 2 Kings in the interplay between King Ahab and the
prophet Elisha. The Lord also revealed to me that the double judgements
will be like defibrillator paddles, applied to the church where the
church is akin to a patient, lying in the emergency room with its' heart
stopped. The defibrillator delivers a double shock to the heart from
two different directions. So will it be with the double judgements.
They will shock the hell out of the church. These same double
judgements will bring Mystery Babylon, the mother of harlots, otherwise
known as "the church", to its' end. From this terrible trouble will
arise a remnant bride of Christ.
There has now been more than a seven year delay in the commencement of
the double judgements that was obtained, by the praying saints, through
intercession alone, as there has been absolutely no national repentance
here in the United States nor in any of the other Western Democracies
and Republics. In 2016, we have had the SIGN OF OMAR. A radical
Islamic Terrorist by the name of OMAR has shot or killed more than one
hundred people in Orlando, Florida. We wait now for the three sets of
double assassinations that are foreshadowed by the events portrayed in 2
Kings 9 and 10. These are the only remaining signs before the onset of
the double judgements.
What types of events are going to be happening and what will the signs
be that they are near? The initials utilized are these and designate
these prophetic ministers:
Stephen L. Bening (SLB), Bob Neumann (BN), Dumitru Duduman (DD), Henry
Gruver (HG), Matthew Stephen (MS), David Wilkerson (DW),Virginia Boldea
(VB) Joseph Cook (JC), Art Cormier (AC), Chuck Youngbrandt (CY), Stanley
Frodsham (SF), Leonard Ravenhill (LR) and Randy McKee (RM).
Some of these men did not endure to the end of their lives with a clean
walk of service unto the Lord. In those cases, I have included only
those revelations for which I have witness from the Lord as to the
source. Also, it is possible that I might have missed a valid prophecy
by one of those named concerning an event where they have not been
indicated.
Revival Unto Prayer And Repentance: Right now, God is stretching out
His hand toward His people, not to cancel or delay the judgements but to
strengthen His people and help them to endure the difficulties we will
face. There is a tremendous opportunity available now for those who
will fast, pray and live a holy life to dramatically increase the
anointing upon your life; an anointing that will now abide on you for
the dramatic release of great power of the Lord for the performing of
great exploits. There is a wave of glory inbound that will immediately
precede the onset of the double judgements. (SLB)
Concurrently with the outpouring described above, God has now Stopped The Rain.
In doing so, God has now begun to make an even greater distinction,
blessing those righteous who will separate themselves from wickedness
and uncleanness: both within the church and without, and cutting off
the rain of His Glory and His Presence from those who refuse to come out
of their defilement. Spiritual drought will now fall upon the "thing"
called church.
TIMING WATCH PERIODS FOR DOUBLE JUDGEMENTS
Scientists/Astronomers: August 2015 to December, 2024 (And they say the
numbers are soft, possibly unto 2036) ----64 month watch period
(specific to increased danger of an incoming comet swarm)
Stephen L. Bening #24 Anniversary Revelation: June 1, 2015 to September
17, 2016--------------------------------16 month watch period (watch
period not specific to asteroids/comets but to all double judgements and
miraculous blessings)(2019-what we received was the rise of President
Donald J. Trump(SLB)
EVENTS WE HAVE BEEN SEEING AND EXPECT TO OCCUR OR WORSEN AT ANY MOMENT:
Events under way: Droughts, fires, tornadoes, hurricanes, storms,
earthquakes, terror attacks, and the like have been happening and will
continue to worsen. It is possible that America will burn by natural
fires in fulfillment of Dumitru Duduman's prophecy that "America will
burn". (SLB)(MS)(BN)(DD)(DW) There will be a later fulfillment of that
prophecy that will have a nuclear marker to it. Terror attacks have
now worsened in mid 2016 with the going forth of the sign of OMAR.
All this continues to occur while the church is ever more dominated by
the prosperity theology and defiled with libertine doctrines (SF), among
churches that are and will be ever more infiltrated and dominated by
arrogant false prophets (LR), as was prophesied fifty years ago.
It was prophesied as early as 2005 that modern day men, prophets, sent
by God as "watchers and the holy ones", would come forth making decrees
and calling in the judgements in the last days and that they would see
those things established by God. (RM)(SLB)(MS)
An open vision was seen by two prophets in 2005 as we ministered in a
pastors meeting in Western Kenya. It was a proclamation of decree; a
scroll opening down out of the ceiling where we were ministering. It
read "Death Warrant For America". On the bottom of it were two
signature lines for two prophets and our two signatures were on those
two lines. We two prophets simultaneously saw the same, open waking
vision and immediately confirmed, one to the other, than we had both
seen the same thing. (SLB)(RM)
Sicknesses and early deaths of many prominent Christian ministers. It
will be said that there is a death devil in the church. Meanwhile, it
will not be the devil's work after all. This is under way as of this
present time. (SLB)(MS)
Bank Closures: For up to six months, including a 50% confiscation by the government of all monetary accounts. (MS)(SLB)(DW)
DOUBLE JUDGEMENTS DURING THE FIRST SIXTY DAYS ON AN UNREPENTANT NATION AND HARLOT CHURCH:
(If you are wondering whether something is the start of the double
judgements, then it is not a double judgement. When they begin to
happen, you will know it, due to the frequency and severity of them)
Double Assassinations: Have been happening and will escalate here and
around the world. (MS)(SLB) The sign of OMAR has now gone forth as a
sign of the impending double judgements on June 12, 2016. (SLB) The only
remaining indicator to prove that the double judgements have
definitively commenced will be the three sets of double assassinations
according to 2 Kings 9 and 10.(SLB) Among the three sets, there will be
a political leader killed and also a religious leader killed, just as
it was in 1968.(SLB, MS)
Attacks On Aircraft Carriers and Shipping by Arabs (descendants of
Ishmael): Attacks on aircraft carriers and ships will be right up near
the front of the events that are going to be transpiring in the near
term. The Lord said this one would be the first falling domino.
(SLB)(BN)
Economic Crash: This began in the fall of 2008. It is going to come in
worse now with another wave of trouble. This crash will be an all time
low on the stock market. Dollar crash is indicated to 50% of present
value, perhaps even a confiscation of 50% of value. Gold will go to
$2,000 and then crash. (SLB)(MS)
Rioting: Also began around the world in 2008. It will now come to
America too and it will be horrific in the cities. (SLB)(DD)(DW)
Terrorism: will break forth on many fronts. (MS)(SLB)(DW)(DD)
DOUBLE JUDGEMENTS AFTER THE INITIAL SIXTY DAYS ON AN UNREPENTANT NATION AND HARLOT CHURCH:
(If you are wondering whether something is the start of the double
judgements, then it is not a double judgement. When they begin to
happen, you will know it, due to the frequency and severity of them)
Tsunamis: Coming to all US Coasts of the 100 foot or less variety,
similar to Japan and Indonesia. Coming in to the Southeastern United
States and the rest of the world as early as 60 days after total world
economic collapse and rioting. (SLB)(BN)(MS)
Heartland earthquakes: There is going to be a major earthquake early on
in "The 417 Land", South Central Missouri, that will be aimed by God at
the harlot, money loving church. This event is right up front in the
pantheon of judgements because of the Red Sticks. More than 200 years
ago, Tecumseh (whose name means "panther across the sky") and
Tenskatawah used them to prophecy the great New Madrid Quake of December
16, 1811. Now, God has had His prophets using them again. They are
the last sign that God will give to warn of the need to gather together
to the safe zones (prophet Matthew's Blue panther map). and assemble for
the purpose of preservation of our lives and those of other remnant
believers. Three bridges will be built over this inland
sea.(SLB)(MS)(JC)(CY)
Electrical Power Interruptions: Due to solar flare or terrorism, but
not due to EMP attack. We are in solar cycle #24 right now. These
power interruptions will also take down cell phones and the internet.
(SLB)
Portland, Oregon Tsunami: This tsunami will reach 70 feet over the
regular level of the Columbia River and will flood almost all of
downtown Portland. This is a near term event. (MS)(SLB)
Boston, MA Tsunami/Earthquake: This tsunami will reach downtown Boston
and will inundate Cape Cod to Cape Ann. This is a near term event. (MS)
Washington DC event: Marked by the name of Andrew, this will include
rioting and other events. It is a near term event. Many corpses will
be the result. (SLB)
Atlanta, GA event: There will be an event that interrupts travel through this city. (SLB)
Terrorism: will break forth on many fronts in terrible severity,
eventually interrupting the food supply and the supply of clean drinking
water. (MS)(SLB)(DW)(DD)
San Andreas Fault: California earthquakes splitting the San Andreas
fault resulting in an extremely serious quake are ready to happen at any
moment. The sign of the nearness of these things is that the Russian
Bear has awakened and has gone forth to regather her cubs after twenty
years of hibernation in her den, which is happening right now. This is
marked by the name of Andrew. (SLB)(MS)(HG)(DD)(Hundreds of others)
Double Assassinations: Have been happening and will escalate here and around the world. (MS)(SLB)
High Level Assassinations: (MS)(SLB)
EVENTS WE EXPECT TO OCCUR AFTER THE TWO INITIAL WAVES OF DOUBLE JUDGEMENTS
Russian Attack: The Russian Bear has awakened. Which will happen
first: the California earthquake or the Russian Bear attack? Most
likely, the bear attack will come and then the earthquake along the
fault will manifest shortly thereafter. Up to six nations including
China will likely tag along. (MS)(SLB)(AC)(HG)(DD)
Asteroids: hitting land and fireball effects sending blast waves. (SLB)(BN)(VB)
Terrorism: EXTREME will break forth on many fronts. (MS)(SLB)(DD)
Terror Against Churches: There will be a particularly terrible terror attack against a mega-church. (SLB)(MS)
Draconian Laws: Laws will be enacted that will make it illegal to hunt and fish, to be enforced by robotic drone patrols. (SLB)
Gold Worthless: Many who have "prepped" by buying gold will not be able
to obtain anything for it. Either the price will collapse or buyers
for it will not be found. (MS)(SLB)
Reenacted French Revolution: Coming in the United States. Intense
persecution of Christians will commence including the confiscation of
church properties and facilities. Yellow Vest demonstatios have been
building in France. (SLB)
Six major US earthquakes: Serious quakes in a short time period, each greater than 8.0 (MS)
Limited Repentance: The great majority of America's pastors will blame
the troubles we are experiencing on the failure of the American
believers to tithe. (An False Assessment) There will be no national
repentance at this stage even after 1 to 2 million people lay dead in
America. A small remnant will, however, have returned to the Lord.
(SLB)
Famine: Eat your bread with carefulness. (MS)
Awakening US Volcanoes: Including one to arise out of Lake Erie.(MS)
Mount Rainier of Washington will awaken (SLB) as well as the Three
Sisters Volcano of Oregon.(MS)
Nuclear Terrorism: Self explanatory, but one attack will hit Miami Beach, FL.(SLB), another will hit Los Angeles (SLB)
Giant Inland US Sea: To be formed from Columbia, MO to Louisville, KY, 250 to 400 miles wide. (SLB)(JC)
Nuclear Attack: mainly upon coastal cities. (SLB)(MS)(HG)(DD)(AC)
Occupation of the US: Again, it is self explanatory. (MS)(SLB)(HG)(DD)
Revival Unto Repentance: Sometime after 20 million lay dead in America,
we will have the opportunity for national repentance. (SLB)
EVENTS THAT WE EXPECT TOWARD THE END OF EVENTS THAT WILL AFFECT THE UNITED STATES
Tsunamis: Great floods of the 500 to 1,000 foot variety, coming to all
US coasts, due to asteroid/comet impact, but not due to Nubiru or some
other unnamed close approach of a dark or dwarf star. (SLB)(BN)
Magnitude 13 Earthquake Puget Sound/Seattle: It is difficult to imagine what this will look like. (MS)
250 Million Dead: The failure to repent will result in the land
vomiting out its' inhabitants. Hopefully, those who remain will make
the best of their opportunity to return to the Lord and cancel this
prophetic judgement. (MS)
Timing: I fully expect to see the start of most of these events during
the 2008-2024 time line, but I will not be surprised if the worst events
stretch even to 2031 (SLB)
Blessings,
Stephen L. Bening

One
month and one day ago, the Lord spoke a word to me about my wife and I:
"Patient endurance is required of you". Three days later, we went
into an almost one month long period of intense spiritual trial, out of
which we began to make our way yesterday. The fact that the word of
personal admonition to me and my wife was quickly fulfilled does tend,
in my own mind, to buttress the word of the Lord given to me on the very
next day, March 21, 2019, that I did not write here until now: exactly
one month later.
Psalm 1
Psa 1:1 Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the
ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of
the scornful.
Psa 1:2 But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth
he meditate day and night.
Psa 1:3 And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water,
that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not
wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.
Psa 1:4 The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind
driveth away.
Psa 1:5 Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor
sinners in the congregation of the righteous.
Psa 1:6 For the LORD knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of
the ungodly shall perish.
"The rain has stopped! The lamps are being put out! There is a
scrambling around in the dark, looking for oil to light the lamps. The
ungodly and the members of the harlot will be in spiritual drought. The
righteous' season of fruitfulness will continue to bring forth fruit
worthy of God's approval."
It was at this time that the Holy Spirit brought to my remembrance a
place I visited near Kittui, Kenya, Africa when this place was in an
extremely acute drought. The only thing that was green was a row of
tall trees that lined the Eastern shore of the totally dried up river
bed. It was then that the Holy Spirit quickened this verse:
Jeremiah 17:7-8
Jer 17:7 Blessed is the man that trusteth in the LORD, and whose hope
the LORD is.
Jer 17:8 For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, and that
spreadeth out her roots by the river, and shall not see when heat
cometh, but her leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the
year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit.
"Even though the righteous may not be aware of the the spiritual
drought, yet their season will be green and yielding fruit acceptable to
God. And they shall continue to yield fruit worthy of God.
Now, one month after I received this word from the Lord, I am thinking about the preceding verses in Jeremiah 17:
Jer 17:5 Thus saith the LORD; Cursed be the man that trusteth in man,
and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the LORD.
Jer 17:6 For he shall be like the heath in the desert, and shall not
see when good cometh; but shall inhabit the parched places in the
wilderness, in a salt land and not inhabited.
There have been many, many church going souls who have treated me with
great disdain during the last thirty years as I have related to them the
vision and the many words that the Lord has given to me regarding the
defiled condition of the thing that is called "church". These people
uniformly place their trust in man: in the congregation of men, for
their continued fruitfulness. They think it is impossible that they
could ever leave the "church" and continue to bear fruit for God. Over
and over again, they have quoted the familiar scripture to me from
Hebrews: "forsake not the assembling together with the brethren"
without giving any consideration to another scripture of equal
importance from the Revelation that they forget, but that deserves their
equal attention: "Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers
of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.".
What season is it?
Ecc 3:1 To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:
Ecc 3:2 A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;
Ecc 3:3 A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up;
Ecc 3:4 A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance;
Ecc 3:5 A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones
together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;
Ecc 3:6 A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away;
Ecc 3:7 A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
Ecc 3:8 A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.
What season is it anyway? Does anybody know what time it is? Where is
the man today who is as the son's of Issachar, who understands the
times. There's a train coming, but will it bring comfort or pain? That
train will bring the ONE whom you seek. He will come suddenly to His
temple, but who can abide His appearing. And you still refuse to see,
you still refuse to see... and you still refuse to see.
