Intro:
So, this will be a down and dirty, quick post to share the exciting news. First, we are in the time of the latter- day rain that will usher in the Jewish remnant (Romans 11). Oh, that alone is gripping me heart. God's heart for the very people that He brought out of Egypt thousands of years ago, and from which sprang forth that beautiful Branch, the Messiah. The very ones who sang, "God is my song and my salvation" after crossing the Red Sea, only to reject Him later, will soon sing those exact same words when Messiah opens their eyes and saves them in this last day (Exodus 15, Psalm 118, Zech 9-14). At that time Israel will indeed say, "Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord" and they will believe on Him as Jesus prophesied as he wept over Jerusalem-"because you did not recognize the day of your visitation-now your eyes will be blind, and you will not see me again until you say blessed is he that comes in the name of the Lord. My paraphrase, but Psalm 118 is about that very day, and both advents actually.
Oh do you see the beauty of all of this? Selah. We see a picture of this in Jospeh revealing himself to his brothers in one of the most heart wrenching stories of God's love and mercy ever known. Then, Jew and Gentile will be shut up in God's tender mercies together (Romans 11). As Paul exclaims after explaining this, oh the majesty and glory of it all! Truly, it's the greatest love story ever told.
The harvest rains are connected with the Jewish people coming to Messiah (Hosea 10:12, Zech 10:1). Right now, all of the news from the right, left and center is largely fake. In that sense, we are in a "simulation." But there is one place that we can go to know what is happening, and what is coming-and that is the Spirit-filled word of God. His spirit quickens it by faith else it's a dead letter. But lately I have noticed how many last days verses end with something to the effect of "It will be for the mouth of the Lord has spoken it!" Like, done and DONE. You can count on it. It might look like Satan is winning but just hold on. Wait, and He will come like lightening out of the clouds in great glory. Have you ever seen lightening coming? Exactly. You don't see lightening until it arrives.
Holy Spirit Tabernacles/Covering: Babylon Falling
The Holy Spirit filling and overshadowing us is the only safe place right now. There came a time when Lot had to get out of Sodom and Gomorrah. Likewise, when Noah and his family had to separate from their community and just get into the boat. Babylon is falling. Babylon is essentially the pride and works of man that have been given free reign while man thumbs his nose at God, but not anymore. For ages we have grown up together, the righteous and the wicked living side by side doing business and intermingling, but that is all changing. Babylon is being judged. The writing is on the wall, and those hearing the Lord can see it clearly, hence the call to come out of her my people.
His Spirit filled word is the only safe place; it is our buckler, our shield, and the sword with which we fight, and He is pouring out an unpresented measure that has never been seen before. When the Holy Spirit was first poured on Pentecost, it was accompanied by proclamation of His word, tongues of FIRE. God was planting his gospel in the earth. Now, this new wine has been fermenting for 2,000 years for the new wine skins. This latter rain will bring in the harvest of the earth. The spring rains planted the gospel in the earth; this rain will bring in the fruit of that harvest- just like the natural spring and falls rains in Israel. Isn't that awesome! What could be more exciting than that! This is truly great news.
(Heresy watch here): Don't quote me, but I am beginning to believe that the extra oil that the five virgins had is representative of those who receive this outpouring saved for now. It will enable us to be mighty witnesses for Christ as the world is plunged into darkness, despair, deception and gross sin (Matthew 24: "Many will fall into sin and will hate and betray one another").
This is the Zechariah 4 lampstand receiving the golden oil from the two olive trees that the Lord declared would complete his temple! We are the temple, Jew and Gentile as one in Messiah! We could never have been complete while the root, the Jews, were sick, but now as they come to faith, together we will be a formidable force. This is the time that we are in right now. Zechariah 4 declares that, "not by might, not by power, but by my Spirit" it will be accomplished. Yahoo! I'm feeling the joy as I write it. If I could type in tongues here I would do it. Haha.
For good, or evil, we get to choose:
We are about to see the best of times and the worst of times. Everything that happens is meant for good by the Lord, and everything that happens will be used for evil by Satan; it just depends on the soil of our hearts. After the Lord quickened this latter rain to me, I came home and made some juice. Being that I have ADD, I forgot to put the pitcher under the spout and the precious juice spilled all over the counter (do you have any idea how many apples it takes to make one cup!?). Right then he spoke again. We can miss the rain, and we can waste the rain by being distracted in this season. That is why Satan is distracting everyone. He knows what is at stake. He knows that if we get quiet, and stay quiet to hear Him, we will do great damage to his kingdom-and we will.
But running dry and missing it could place us in the position of the foolish virgins who didn't have enough oil to go out and meet their bridegroom. I pray that the Spirit of God will strengthen us to lay hold of him and to open our mouths wide for this last-day outpouring that will prepare the earth to receive the Messiah! The Holy Spirit is freely given to us to accomplish this work, and he is ever-kind and tender in this most holy work. We rest in His work. We trust in His life. We die to our efforts and live to His power. Praise God, what a salvation! God is covering His people who have gathered under His wings to receive understanding, protection, power, and provision.
I found a good article talking about the latter- day rain and I will post it below along with some good videos on this word. I hadn't realized until last week that the latter rain is connected to Israel's acceptance of Messiah. We are in the time in which the nations are gathering against Israel-and God is the one who gathers them just as he gathered the Jews against Jesus to crucify him, and just as he allowed Satan to inspire Judas, and just as he allowed Haman to plot to kill the Jews-God is always on His holy throne, and nothing can stop Him from bringing forth his kingdom for He is Almighty and His kingdom knows no end. Through death, God saved us from death. His ways are higher, and He doesn't need our strength!
Trump cannot bring in eternal peace, (he said he would bring eternal peace in the press conference with Bibi last week after the peace deal), but I know someone who can-and He will but only for those who wait for Him, trust Him, love Him, and are weak in themselves but MIGHTY in Him! (Ps 91, Isaiah 40). In fact, this is the primary lesson that Israel learns when they finally have their eyes opened to receive the Messiah: It is better to trust in God than to trust in Princes (or presidents) (Psalm 118: Messianic Millennial Psalm). The word "strength" has been ringing in my spirit for a few years now, and it is the divine might of the Lord, the same power that raised Jesus from the dead, that is going to cause us to mount up with wings as eagles when the "wicked" are hobbling, stumbling, and weak. Those who are poor in themselves will be mighty in God. The battle is the LORDS.
1/3 Through the Fire:
This time will lead to Messiah coming and saving the Jews who are almost annihilated by the Antichrist and his armies (the nations with him) after the AC betrays Isael and breaks the peace deal. He will open up a fountain of grace and supplication, and they will look upon the one that they rejected, the very one who is saving them. Isn't that a beautiful picture of what happens when we see our sin against His loving grace? It breaks us, and 1/3 of the Jews who are brought through the fire will break in deep, heart wrenching repentance. Selah. Wow. (Zech 9-14).
This time is also marked by great persecution against Jews and Christians. All of this is the end-time harvest leading to a truly golden age in which Jesus is seen with our physical eyes and reigns on the earth. I know, it sounds so weird. There are hundreds of scriptures that I have been blind to until the last few years. While they absolutely can and should be applied to us spiritually, these verses have their complete fulfillment in the future-well, in present events and what's fast unfolding as they pertain to the last days, the second advent. For example, the verse in Isaiah about "when the enemy comes in like a flood" is actually about the Antichrist attacking Israel, and the standard is Jesus who saves them.
Trump won't save Israel, that's God's job-and He is jealous to be known as the One who Saves.
Christians Defiled and Deceived:
If we know the real, God-breathed prophesies and are filled with divine illumination, like Daniel, we won't be deceived. Trump is full of blasphemy, and his politics are defiling the body of Christ. When he stands on the stage and says, "I hate my opponent" and Christians clap and smile thinking it's kind of cute that he knows Charlie wouldn't like it...we are being defiled. We are eating "meat" sacrificed to demonic idols and don't even know it.
We are not to associate with such people, nor are we to overlook course talk. What national Christian leaders are speaking out about the things that he says and does? I know of no one. There is only complicit silence. Silence. Fear of man, not God. It stains the name of Christ and defiles us with the dirt of this world's wisdom! But he is Cyrus, a godless king, and prophet so and so says he is sent from God they say. First of all, stop running to "prophets" for they are speaking lies as per Jeremaih 23 and Ezekiel 14-16. (I got that in prayer... you be the judge.)
The people did not follow Cyrus. The people were not looking to Cyrus. God just used Him to give them permission to go back and build their temple. There is a big, big difference. God is using Trump, but not for us to follow and spiritualize and elevate. It's a disgrace what Christians have done and in the precious name of Jesus Christ, causing many to be offended and to stumble from the faith-and not for righteousness, but unrighteousness. I wonder, who are we serving when we do this? Is this the spirit of Saul that fears man, or David who fears God above all? Does anyone know or care what he and Elon are doing with AI, crypto currency, and our health information? It's straight out of Revelation and we say nothing. Nothing! We have a reputation for being awake, but we are all asleep.
But "trust the plan" says Q. Who the heck is Q? Is that how the Lord God speaks to His people? God forbid. Satan always uses the scripture to lead God's people astray, but let's use the whole of scripture along with Godly discernment and we will see it's a ruse. This is the truth and I will say it, and if it means people hate me, so be it. They spat on God in the form of a man, so who am I to want to be respected when my innocent Savior was tortured and killed by the "church" and the world. No, a servant cannot expect better treatment than his master.
Vacuum of Prophesy Filled with Lies:
I am really seeing how there is a great, big vacuum that is being filled by false doctrine and false prophets because we have turned from an understanding of how God is going to end things in the greatest, most glorious victory ever known! We are not to go to a prophet to hear God, for man will deceive us in this hour-but God never will. He reveals things to babes, just as Jesus heard from the Father. The religious of his day read the word and didn't understand it because they weren't really going to God in faith.
It grieves him that his people are sitting at the feet of men, false prophets and apostles, wolves in sheep's clothing making money off of the sheep-not turning them from their sin but tickling their ears.
But regarding second advent prophesies that have been neglected, Satan erected a scarecrow of sorts to make us shy away from being like "those end of days crack pots." Sadly, it's the Lord's crowning jewel. It's His final victory over sin and death, but we just roll our eyes and ignore it to our own peril. Then when some false prophet comes online and starts saying what is really happening, we gobble it up-especially when it makes us feel good and sounds very reasonable. Satan is the most reasonable sounding being. Jesus constantly asked the religious, "why do you reason in your hearts." Jesus listened to the father while the religious reasoned in their minds. Satan makes perfect sense, only it's deception.
I refuse to even listen out of curiosity to hear what those famous prophets are saying. Words are spirit and they have power! I just trust what the Lord whispered to my heart, and that is that He isn't speaking through them, and He is grieved that His children won't come and inquire of Him in prayer and the word. If you want to know what your friend thinks about something, do you go to their spouse and ask? No, we go to the friend. He is grieved by it because His blood was shed to make the way into the holy of holies, and then we run to man. Then and only then can a prophesy be tested and discerned because we have heard the Lord; that is the measure. That is the test. Sheep will flee from a strange voice because they have learned their Shepherd's voice so well.
Jesus warned us that false prophets would lead many astray, and they certainly are, right now, being led into a last day's religion that has a form of godliness, and even names Christ, but has no power. As a reaction to the darkly bizarre sins of our time in this nation, people are fleeing to a deadly legislated legalism. In fact, it is a marriage between Christians and the government. Has history not taught us anything? Nazi Germany? Hitler was saving the church and restoring conservative values. The Germans really believed that Hitler would save the church. Watch the grand ceremonies with all of the shiny faced, smiling Germans applauding their fearless leader. They were full of hope that Hitler could fix it.
How about Constantine? This marriage made in hell appeals to the wisdom of the world that finds security in power and influence, but God doesn't work that way. This is not the biblical pattern. God uses the weak and foolish things to confound the wisdom of this world. God alone will be exalted. He alone will receive the glory. Charlie Kirk's tragic assassination will spur two things: the genuine spread of the true gospel, and a false gospel. Everything will spur more godliness, or more error now. It's the last days harvest which means separation -and it all depends on our heart posture, and our idols-what we truly love. Jesus warned that his kingdom brings a sword of division, and this outpouring will do just that as light and truth clash.
Our part: In the season of rain, pray for rain! Hosea 10:12. Diligently, persistently until He comes and rains His love upon us and overflows us. This is a time to overflow. Listen very diligently and carefully. Those are just some of the things on my heart to remember. This is a time to constantly be asking the Lord to search our hearts, and to be quick to confess and turn from our many wicked ways. Judgment of others is a major issue. Critical tongues. Anger and hate cloaked in a self-righteous cause will lead many into great sin, hatred, and will chill their love (Matt 24). The fear of the Lord must be heavy upon us for He truly is coming into HIS temple, and we ought to be silent before Him. But when He says to speak, may we speak loudly and boldly just as He did.
What is He saying to you. What things are you doing to pursue Him. What is He showing you?
Please comment.
Love,

P.S. I kid you not, right after I posted this I quickly clicked on Jamie Walden to hear his last video and he is proclaiming this word to understand the second advent prophesies! I can say with all confidence that the Holy Spirit is proclaiming this. It is burning inside of me! I just scrolled to 14 and began listening so not sure what else he is saying but wow. Stay tuned for my next post with as many prophesies as I have the energy to write down from the OT and NT.
