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 Vial #6 ~ Boiling Point
Did you ever put a pot of water on the stove and let it boil down by accident? Perhaps you fell asleep in front of the TV or you simply forgot that you wanted to make some tea. Either way, by the time you came to your senses, it is too late. That water is all gone and there is nothing left but a scorched mess. If you were lucky, perhaps the whistle brought you out of your stupor.
Stay alert! Watch out for your great enemy, the devil. He prowls around like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour.
~1 Peter 5:8 (NLT)
I think this well describes how the world arrives at Vial #6. Most people are not "paying attention." In an earlier article on Judgment Trumpet #6, we posted a recent news article about the Euphrates drying out. This is a serious crisis going on NOW...not in some distant future! Today, we see Judgment Vial #6 brings us to a COMPLETE drying of the Euphrates. It is this total dryness that brings on the lying frogs which emanate from the mouths of the dragon, the beast and the false prophet.
Vial Judgment #6: The Powerful Mass Delusion
Seal Judgment #6: Earth Greatly Shaken/Cosmic Signs
Trumpet Judgment #6: Euphrates River begins to dry up
Vial Judgment #6: Euphrates River dries up completely.
Yet once more, we see the increasing intensity of the 21 Judgments. If your "earth"-ly body is "greatly shaken," I pray that these messages lead you to godly sorrow and REPENTANCE.
Now this, “Yet once more,” indicates the removal of those things that are being shaken, as of things that are made, that the things which cannot be shaken may remain.
~Hebrews 12:27 (KJV)
Let's take a look at the 6th Vial (aka Bowl) Judgment in Revelation:
~Revelation 16:12-16 (KJV)
Frogs capture their prey with their tongues. Frogs have a forked tongue just like a snake. In Genesis, the snake was told:
So the LORD God said to the serpent: “Because you have done this, cursed are you above all livestock and every beast of the field! On your belly will you go, and dust you will eat, all the days of your life.
~Genesis 3:14 (Berean Study Bible)
So, at some point, the snake was originally more like a lizard. Apparently, he's got his "sea legs" back in Revelation by inhabiting mankind, the sea of humanity! Now, the dragon, the beast, and the false prophet vomit up 3 unclean spirits, that are going to be boastful lies much like a croaking toad.
Exactly WHO and WHAT is the dragon, the beast and the false prophet? We should stay alert because scripture tells us the "man of lawlessness" will be revealed to us. While our God is ONE (Triune), this unholy Trinity will appear to be acting in unison, but that is not possible on the Dark Side. Like the ossobuco (the snake eating itself), they will simply destroy themselves. Satan himself will be their leader (the Dragon), The Beast will be a Marxist-Socialist government totally drunk on power, and the False Prophet will be religion fully apostatized.
WATCHMAN WARNING!: They will be doing miracles. Many people often say that they believe in Marian apparitions because they either saw a miracle, received a miracle or heard of a miracle. Then they jump to the next wrong conclusion: Because there was a "miracle," it must be God. What is a miracle?
mir·a·cle
/ˈmirək(ə)l/
-
noun.
-
a surprising and welcome event that is not explicable by natural or scientific laws and is therefore considered to be the work of a divine agency:
I've heard people say Satan cannot do miracles. Well, let this passage in Revelation put that lie to rest! Here we see three unclean spirits working miracles which are so outwardly amazing that they go forth to deceive the kings of the whole earth and convince them to gather together to do battle against God Almighty! We saw Pharaoh's sorcerer's perform "signs and wonders" in the Old Testament as well.
We've all heard that old saying: about the "frog in the pot of water." If you put a frog into a boiling pot of water it will try to jump out but if you slowly turn up the heat, it will just sit there and slowly die.
So, false religions and fake "miracles" have been the slow boil towards spiritual death. Once people start accepting worldwide Guadalupe, Fatima, Lourdes, Medjugorje...they will feel comfortable in the pot of the "Lady of All Nations" and go on the false "peace train" with no resistance. All the "boastful frogs" will temporarily unite during a short period of false peace in One World Unity. It won't last very long.
So often, I think uninformed people read Revelation and say: "Man, God must be a genocidal maniac!" But once you really get to know God intimately, it is not HIs desire that ANY should perish!
The Lord is not slow in keeping His promise as some understand slowness, but is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish but everyone to come to repentance.
~2 Peter 3:9 (Berean Study Bible)
In creating mankind (who are "like gods"...even Jesus acknowledged this,):
Jesus replied, “Is it not written in your Law: ‘I have said you are gods’?
~John 10:34 (Berean Study Bible)
He surely knew, at Creation, that He handed mankind great powers once He made man in His Image. However, once they moved off the "plumb-line" of obedience to God's Holy Word, these "powers" become destructive. We see this principle right away in the story of Cain and Abel. Man immediately began killing man. So, what exactly is Vial Judgment #6? It is when man's reasoning, his mind, has become fully "self-actualized" and he is overcome by the powerful delusion that he is as great and even greater than God.
We might think, once more, that this passage is confusing...aren't the Saints gone at this point? Right in the middle of the passage, we see this verse:
~Revelation 16:15 (KJV)
When we fully understand that Revelation is prismatic (layered), then it becomes much more clear. Revelation is a WARNING. What purpose would this vision serve if this was simply a list of unstoppable Judgments? God is His MERCY gave John the Revelator this vision.
Envision this: Someone is telling you a horrific story about how some people will meet their final destruction, but part of the way through they turn to you and say: "By the way, MAKE SURE you, on the other hand, are always PREPARED when you start to see these warning signs"...and then they continue on with the story. THAT is how we should read Revelation. There are many points where it seems to jump back and forth but once you read it with this understanding (God loves us enough to give us FAIR WARNING), then it all becomes much more cohesive.
In most Bible commentaries, this Judgment is often listed simply as "the drying of the Euphrates," but it is much deeper than that! (pardon the pun).
The etymology of the word "Euphrates" is: Proto-Indo-European root meaning "to lead, pass over." A verbal root associated with *per- (1), which forms prepositions and preverbs with the basic meaning "forward, through; in front of, before.
The foolish kings of the earth constantly speak of "going forward." Even P. Francis is described as a "progressive." Progress is linked with the ideology of Progressivism and almost always is viewed as a POSITIVE. But is it really? Obama's campaign slogan was "Forward." Marxists repeatedly use the word "Forward" in their propaganda. At this point in Revelation, mankind is going to move so far "Forward" they will "pass over" to the other side, the dark side, from which there is NO RETURN.
We see this in Jesus' parable found in Luke 16:
And besides all this, a great chasm has been fixed between us and you, so that even those who wish cannot cross from here to you, nor can anyone cross from there to us.’
~Luke 16:26 (Berean Study Bible)
So, Judgment Vial #6 is the powerful delusion from which there is NO RETURN. God has TURNED THEM OVER to a reprobate mind.
~Romans 1:28 (Berean Study Bible)
This verse is immediately preceded by the sin of man lusting after man and woman lusting after women.
Likewise, the men abandoned natural relations with women and burned with lust for one another. Men committed indecent acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their error.
~Romans 1:27 (Berean Study Bible)
then immediately followed by:
They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed, and depravity.
~Romans 1:27 (Berean Study Bible)
With "gay marriage" gaining worldwide acceptance...mankind has sadly arrived at this point.
As a young child, I used to sing the old Hymn: "I have decided to follow Jesus, I have decided to follow Jesus, I have decided to follow Jesus...no turning back, no turning back." I still love that song. It reminds me of this verse also:
Then Jesus declared, “No one who puts his hand to the plow and then looks back is fit for the kingdom of God.”
~Luke 9:62 (Berean Study Bible)
Remember Lot's wife? What was her sin? She LOOKED BACK. Was it just simple curiosity? No...it is a looking back with a YEARNING. YEARNING to go BACK to Sodom and Gomorrah. She became a useless pile of unsalty salt...only good for treading underfoot. Once we've tasted the Divine Sweetness of Christ, there truly is nothing else that satisfies...we march ONWARD.
Thus, I believe all the Judgments that we have seen so far, mankind will suffer AT THEIR OWN HAND. I think Judas is a prime example. He hung HIMSELF. In Revelation, we've reached the point where unrepentant mankind will fully hang themselves.
For those who love Sodom and Gomorrah, they have reached the end of their journey. FAIR WARNING, they, like Judas, are at the end of their own rope.
Warning! NO TURNING BACK, NO TURNING BACK!
Only, "Forward"...Into the Abyss
Next up: The 7th Vial Judgment...The End or of "Happily Ever After?"
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)
~Jonah 3:8-9 (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."
