Dear Global Christian Warriors,
Join us on this 21 day repentance journey to study His Word on Judgments. The point is to repent now to be fully His, as His Judgment unfolds. God willing, we will also include each day a suggested issue to repent of. We hope to bless you, to edify you, to strengthen you with His Word, consistent with 2 Timothy 3:16-17: "All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work."
TODAY'S REPENTANCE REFLECTION:
Judgment Trumpet #7 ~ At Last
Perhaps you have seen during a military funeral when a lone trumpeter plays the achingly doleful notes of "Taps." According to historical research, "Taps" is not so much a song, as it is considered a signal. At military bases, "Taps" is also utilized to signify "lights out" when it's time to turn in. "Taps" was originally composed with no lyrics. However, shortly after its composition, Horace Lorenzo Trim wrote the following poem. These words are meant to be more of a mnemonic (memory) device, not a song to be sung:
Day is done, gone the sun,
From the lake, from the hills, from the sky;
All is well, safely rest, God is nigh.
Fading light, dims the sight,
And a star gems the sky, gleaming bright.
From afar, drawing nigh, falls the night.
Thanks and praise, for our days,
'Neath the sun, 'neath the stars, neath the sky;
As we go, this we know, God is nigh.
Sun has set, shadows come,
Time has fled, Scouts must go to their beds
Always true to the promise that they made.
While the light fades from sight,
And the stars gleaming rays softly send,
To thy hands we our souls, Lord, commend.
Amazingly, the name of the author "Horace" means "hour, time, season."
"Lorenzo" means "laurel wreath" and "Trim" means just that, "trim the lamps"...TIME IS UP. Consider this information:
"In Ancient Greece, laurel wreaths were awarded to the winners of athletic competitions in the Olympics. In Greek mythology, crowns made from laurel leaves are closely associated with gods and goddesses."
~(Source: mythologian.net)
Thus, God's Epic Drama has come to a conclusion. Who will be getting rewards and who will hang their heads in defeat? These stanzas remind us that "God is nigh." When we see these events, we are to lift up our heads because our "redemption draweth nigh."
And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.”
~Luke 21:28 (KJV)
We begin today where we left off...the completion of the Second Woe. 1/3rd of mankind has died. The Two Witnesses have been killed, then resurrected by God, and lifted into Heaven in full view of those who hated them. The scripture tells us that once the second woe has past, the third one, accompanied by the FINAL Trumpet, comes quickly.
The second woe is past; and, behold, the third woe cometh quickly.
~Revelation 11:14 (KJV)
For those who love Yeshua, the seventh and final trumpet is the long awaited call that it is time to go home.
Listen, I tell you a mystery: We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed— in an instant, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed. For the perishable must be clothed with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality.
~1 Corinthians 15:51-53 (KJV)
For others, it is the signal that God's wrath has arrived.
And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come.
~Revelation 11:18a (KJV)
Thus, the Seventh and Last Trumpet coincides with the beginning of the Third and Final Woe:
15 And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever.
16 And the four and twenty elders, which sat before God on their seats, fell upon their faces, and worshipped God,
17 Saying, We give thee thanks, O Lord God Almighty, which art, and wast, and art to come; because thou hast taken to thee thy great power, and hast reigned.
18 And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great; and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth.
19 And the temple of God was opened in heaven, and there was seen in his temple the ark of his testament: and there were lightnings, and voices, and thunderings, and an earthquake, and great hail
~Revelation 11:15-19 (KJV)
What happens next in Chapters 12, 13 and 14, is described as "hysterologia" by some theologians. If we don't understand this concept, it is at this point in scripture that we may become easily confused. This is why many Christians often shy away from studying The Book of Revelation. Yet, scripture tells us there is a very special blessing for those who make an effort to read and understand it!
Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein: for the time is at hand.
~Revelation 1:3 (KJV)
It seems as if these chapters go BACK IN TIME. Once we see the definition of "hysterologia" this makes much more sense. It is described as a "parenthetical pause." Thus, Chapters 12, 13 and 14 are set in place as a REMINDER of "how in the world did we arrive at this horrific point?" God is reminding the reader of Revelation, that His Wrath is being poured out, and..."(just in case you forgot why the Earth is about to receive this terrible Judgment...allow Me to digress for a moment)."
Chapter 12 allegorically alludes to the birth of Jesus Christ, the vicious assault by Herod to kill all the male children, and the horrific persecution of the First Century Church.
Chapter 13 describes the rise of the anti-Christ and the False Prophet and the "mark of the beast."
Chapter 14 depicts the Fall of Babylon.
Of course, along with all of the amazing, multi-faceted chapters of scripture, these verses can be read prophetically as well.
So, consider these chapters as one HUGE "parenthesis." It is not until Chapter 15 that we pick up where we left off: The 7 Vial Judgments are about to begin.
4Who shall not fear thee, O Lord, and glorify thy name? for thou only art holy: for all nations shall come and worship before thee; for thy judgments are made manifest.
5And after that I looked, and, behold, the temple of the tabernacle of the testimony in heaven was opened:
6And the seven angels came out of the temple, having the seven plagues, clothed in pure and white linen, and having their breasts girded with golden girdles.
7And one of the four beasts gave unto the seven angels seven golden vials full of the wrath of God, who liveth for ever and ever.
8And the temple was filled with smoke from the glory of God, and from his power; and no man was able to enter into the temple, till the seven plagues of the seven angels were fulfilled.
~Revelation 15:4-8 (KJV)
If this was a movie, we would be on the edge of our seats cheering on the "good guys" and applauding the Justice that is being handed out to the "bad guys." I think this concept has been lost in modern Churchianity where the "ear-tickling" message has become: "Hey...everyone is the 'good guy.'" This is an utterly anti-scriptural message and it melds with the final False Prophet misinformation of false unity through ecumenicalism. While no one is truly good except God alone (Mark 10:18), those who submit to His Will and ALIGN with Him get to share in His goodness. Thus, the 7th Trumpet is the "denouement" or "resolution" of God's Grand Plan.
Now, take a deep breath...The 7 Vial Judgments are about to begin...
Stay Tuned.
It's time for us to REPENT before all hope is gone. The Lord Himself : sanctifies and cleanses us, His Bride, with the washing of water by the word, that He might present her to Himself a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but that she should be holy and without blemish." (Ephesians 5: 26-27)
On this day, November 23nd, reflect on the solemn consequences of Rebellion against God. God is Merciful AND Just. Wrongs must be Righted. UNREPENTANCE must be addressed. Do your part to snatch as many people from the fire (Jude 1:23).
Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope
to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you
at the revelation of Jesus Christ.
~1 Peter 1:13 (KJV)
******************************************************************
Brothers and sisters in Christ: You and I were born for such a time as this. We are to minister to others during the serious shakings ahead, expected in all nations. Studying the 21 signs of Judgment, our faith is built up to preach to others to find Him NOW. To do so, we need today to build up our spiritual strength through times of private repentance. We can also share times of fellowship, sharing testimonies of repentance to encourage us further.
The fear of God is not a terror that He is against us or will strike without cause or warning. Rather, the awe, the reverential fear of God, produces wise, healthy actions, as when the midwives feared God more than Pharaoh, and saved the male children, including Moses.
During these 21 days, as your doctor and the Lord may direct, you may also wish to fast as the Lord leads. Removing old sin strongholds spiritually may also act as a blessing to detox your body physically.
When you repented to come into His Kingdom, you became a vessel filled with His Holy Spirit. We are to fear, have an awesome respect for, the Living God, not fear of man, nor fear of death.
Join us in this spiritual journey to study His Word on Judgments and to repent to avoid Judgment.
You may want to ask "where did this surface in me?" Is it a generational curse? How does it show up in my character today? If you confess that sin pattern, the Lord will forgive you. You can then sincerely repent, replacing that stronghold with His Holy Word.
A key one is found in Matthew 28: 18: " And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, 'All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth."
No need for a theologian. The word "all" means ALL.
Revelation 1: 17-18 could not be more clear: "And when I saw Him, I fell at His feet as dead. But He laid His right hand on me, saying to me, 'Do not be afraid; I am the First and the Last. I am He who lives, and was dead, and behold I am alive forevermore. Amen. And I have the keys of Hades and of Death."
