This Decade Gavin Chung
However, this will not be the time of the Mark Of The Beast, nor Armageddon, nor the great end times harvest, for we are only at the beginning of the end and not at the end. It will be the ‘best of times and the worst of times’, for it will be the season of the double blessing, yet their will also be great judgement, apocalypse, catastrophe and sorrow. Judgment will come like the destruction of the Twin Towers; the financial system will be greatly shaken and the peace will be greatly shaken. Out of great tragedy will come a great move of God.
The season of grace, God’s favour is ending. On Jewish New Year 2002 (07 September 2002), we will be entering the season of judgment, cursing, shaking and sorrow. This new season will begin with an escalation in natural disasters, terrorism and financial upheavals, but it will not be that bad in the beginning, for God is loving and merciful and is giving us more time to repent.
As America and the world begins to ‘wash their hands’ of Israel, there will come a great collapse in the America dollar, the stock market and the property market. Because of a mistake in judgment by America (the president), the wrath of the nations will come against America. This will mark the beginning of a sudden and dramatic economic collapse, that America will never fully recover from. The sphere of influence will shift from America to Europe. Economic disaster will engulf the whole world.
In this weakened state, their is coming a war between the East and the West. The Islamic and Communist nations will go to war with America and the European Economic Community. This will be World War Three. America will be caught off guard, with much of it’s military force overseas, in peace keeping roles. In the end, the world will blame Israel for starting this war. The war will be a time of great preparation and sacrifice; it will either develop in us ‘character’ and an ‘excellent spirit’ (whether we are enlisted or not) or it will kill us and / or devastate us.
We will see the Holy Spirit come, in a realm of glory, as in Solomon’s times and as in Act 2. It will bring a measure of blessing, to those of us who have found our appointed place in the Kingdom, the Joseph’s and to those of us who have a heart for Israel. God will put resources in our hands, not to use on our extravagance and excesses, but as a resource, for the lean years of judgement ahead. Towards the end of the decade, out of great tragedy, will come a great move of God. As the realm of glory falls, our Father will pour out His 'Father heart of love' and we will see 'great signs and wonders' and the Kingdom will be greatly advanced. At the end of the decade, the realm of glory will grow in momentum and multitudes will be translated into the Kingdom. More will be brought into the Kingdom, than in any at any other time in history.
In this season, prior to Jewish New Year 2002, we have been able to partake of the blessings of Deuteronomy 28:1-14. We are now coming into the season of judgment. Prepare now, by release all to our heavenly Father. As we intimately abide in our Father’s rest, through Christ, we will be translated in a realm of glory, by the Holy Spirit, into His Kingdom. As we are translated into the Kingdom, we continually come into the blessing of Deuteronomy 28:1-14, in spite of external circumstances. If we are unable or unwilling to release all to our heavenly Father or unable to come into intimacy with Him or to find His rest, we will languish in the coming judgement and curse of Deuteronomy 28:15-68, like the Israelite. This time prior to Jewish New Year 2002 is as the time before Noah entered the safety and rest of the ark. Noah is rest and means rest. After Jewish New Year 2002 it will be like the time of the flood, with great judgement, cursing, shaking and upheavals coming upon the earth.
They ate, they drank, they married, they were given in marriage, until the day when Noah entered the ark, and the flood came and destroyed them all (Luke 17:26).
After Jewish New Year 2002, we enter deeper into ‘the beginning of the end’:
And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars; see that you are not alarmed; for this must take place, but the end is not yet. For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and there will be famines and earthquakes in various places: all this is but the beginning of the birth-pangs (Mathew 24:6 - 8).
Most of us are unprepared for this season of great judgement, for we are still trying to save our life, by trying to find blessing. Regrettably, all we will get is judgement, shaking and leanness of soul, for our heart is in the wrong place. Our heart is not wholly released to our Father.
Much of the Church will collapse this decade, as our Father shakes everything that can be shaken, for He cannot put new wine in old wine skins. Our Father will sovereignly begins to build’s His new Church, a glorious Church, where Jew and Gentiles will become one, a Church that will know not only Christ, but also will intimately rest in our Father’s love and forgiveness. Many will come out of the existing Church, cults and other religions, into the new Church. Out of intimacy with our Father, will come a glorious realm of signs and wonder, greater than was seen in the Former Rain.
As we abide in our Father’s rest, we will find a haven in Him, a place of His safety. As we release all to our heavenly Father, we will be translated into the Kingdom, into a completely new way of living. As we break the spirit of fear, dread and terror off our lives, in the name of Jesus Christ, we will come into our Father’s peace that surpasses understanding and His joy as new wine. As we abide in our Father’s rest, our hopelessness will be turned into His hope, our turmoil will be turned to His peace and our sadness will be turned into His joy.
War Book 47 Gavin Chung
Paul Cain; A Warning to America (September 16): We need a clear word from God right now. President Bush must get his commission from God, not from man. If we use our own strength in the war, it will not work and will become a tragedy instead. If President Bush follows the counsel of man and declares all out war, biological warfare will be used against our nation and nothing will be able to stop it. We must 'turn to God', not 'towards God'. That is the only solution to our situation.
September 11 was only the beginning of sorrows for America, if the citizens of the America do not turn their hearts to God. We need God's justice, not the justice of the nation. We must ask God to declare war on unrighteousness enemies in and out of the nation.
It is quite possible that something more terrible is coming. The 5,000 deaths are only a beginning. If we do not quickly turn to God, then we are looking at 500,000 deaths, then 5,000,000 deaths. If America will turn to God, then revival will come. It is time to turn to the cross, turn to the Word, turn to the Spirit. We need the favour of God. We need to humble ourselves before God
Bill Hammon; Wake Up Call to America and the Church: The Lord gave me a prophetic vision in 1992 of a potential worldwide war. A description of that vision follows. As I have prayed about the horrible, tragic events that took place in our nation on Tuesday, I sense that they are a warning of the type of thing that will become more common if this war is not won by the prayers of the saints in the spiritual realm. I have spoken with several of the other prophets in the "Apostolic Council of Prophetic Elders" and they are in agreement that this is a "wake up call" to our nation and especially to the Church. If the Church in America doesn't rise up and intercede for turnaround, we can expect more tragedy to befall us. On Tuesday, five thousand or so lives were lost (praise God that it was not the tens of thousands that could have been lost). I believe we will see that these lives that were sown will reap America's awakening and returning to God.
This is not a time for fear. Greater is He who is in us than he who is in the world! We have a great opportunity as the Body of Christ to bring change to our nation and point it toward righteousness. God wants the United States to be a "sheep" nation (Matthew. 25:31-33). For years we have been sensing that things were going to get worse in the world but better and more glorious in the Church. This is a time for us to rise up as the Army of the Lord, pointing the way to Jesus Christ and His Kingdom.
Bill Hammon; The Present War of the Church: Note: This vision was included in the 1997 Word of the Lord booklet. We are reprinting it here because of its continued relevance. I sense that in the past four years the Church has won part of this war in the spiritual realm; however, more intercession and spiritual warfare are needed. In 1992, God gave me a prophetic vision of the Third World War that the devil has planned. Since then God has expanded on the vision and given me some more insight. I have preached and prophesied this message in several nations, so that we can be prepared. Basically the Lord said He is going to work mercy until the end of 2002. After that, if the Church and government of America has not turned the nation back to God, then He is going to remove His blessings and protection. America has been receiving the blessing of Deuteronomy 28:1-14, but if America does not turn back to God, then she will come under the curses and judgments of Deuteronomy 28:15-68.
I've had a lot of confirmation for the vision I saw from many in different nations who have seen the same vision and heard the same things. Since then we have also heard things from inner circles in the governments of the world that have confirmed this. Therefore, we have a great challenge in this area. The Third World War that is being designed by Satan is not Armageddon. It's not something God has planned; it's something the devil is trying to plan. God is working to adjust it based on His people's obedience. In the vision, I saw the evil spirit that has arisen every so often in men and nations with Satan's ambition to overcome every nation and rule the world. Every so often a person arises with that spirit behind him to take over the world. We had that with Hitler. We've had that down through the ages. The devil wants to take over this world. He thinks he owns it, but he doesn't. It belongs to God. This spirit will soon arise in China, the Islamic nations and a couple of existing communist nations. These nations have plans to become allies in this coming world war in their single objective of ruling the world, similar to how Germany, Japan, and Italy became allies in World War II. Negotiations have been taking place behind closed doors.
In the end, all the Eastern allies will be defeated IF the war is fought in the natural. However, the Lord revealed that after it is over, the United States of America will no longer be recognised as the dominating world leader to whom the rest of the world looks for security, prosperity, and stabilisation. The united European Community will assume the dominating position in the world. What Satan meant for evil, God will use to fulfil His purpose. God will use the occasion to cause China to be open to the Gospel. And for the first time since the sixth century, all the nations that have been ruled by Islam will be set free and the Gospel will be preached freely in those nations. More people will be saved in that day and hour than have been saved since the third century of the Church. Satan has plans, but God has other options available. God spoke to me and our CI prophets to go to the nations in the Pacific Rim to give the word of the Lord concerning what is being planned and what they can do about it.
The word God gave us was the same for each nation. God said if the Church will arise in aggressive spiritual warfare prayer and praise, the plans of Satan and his world dominating spirit can be stopped or thwarted. When the three mighty enemy nations were allied against King Jehosophat, King Jehosophat turned to God with intercessory prayer. God responded by having a prophet prophesy some divine directives. The king of the nation of Judah acted upon the word of the Lord by going against the enemy in warfare praise, and God caused Israel's enemies to turn against each other and destroy themselves. God prophetically declared He will do the same for these Pacific Rim nations IF they will arise in aggressive warfare prayer and praise. He also said He will cause the Underground Church in China to become like Holy Spirit termites that will eat the heart of evil out of that nation until it crumbles like the communist empire of the Soviet Union crumbled.
The European Community nations must also do their part for the war to be fought and won in the spirit realm. England, in particular, is at the very point of this thing between East and West. All the different nations that are involved need to be prepared and praying.
We have an option. This war will be fought and won either in the Spirit or in the natural or both. If we win the war in the spirit realm against the principalities and powers that are motivating the Eastern allies, it will not have to be fought in the natural. There is no exact month, day and year set for this war to happen. It could happen any time between now and 2006. Everything is being weighed in the balance. What the Church of Jesus Christ does is the determining factor. The devil is determined to take over the world, but God is determined to open up China and all the Muslim nations to the Gospel. God's divine purpose will be accomplished either by the Church winning the war in the heavenlies or by an East / West war. The end result will be the Bamboo Curtain being ripped open for China to be opened to the Gospel, and the Islamic political and religious control being removed from all the Muslim nations. This will allow the Gospel of the Kingdom of God to be demonstrated in all nations for a If the natural war comes, nuclear missiles will land on major cities and strategic places in America. I saw several major areas being bombed. Multi-millions will die in this war, including thousands in America. Nothing will be able to be done by the politicians to stop this war. The war will be fought and won. It will either be accomplished through supernatural warfare by the Church army of the Lord, or by the natural armies of the East and West, or by a combination of both. It is all based upon whether a sufficient amount of Christians respond properly to take aggressive actions. The only hope for the world is Jesus Christ and His Church. The Church must aggressively go on the offensive with revelation knowledge concerning what to do to stop the plans of the enemy. We do not have to stay passive with a complacent attitude or a doom and gloom perspective that it is all predestined to happen and there is nothing we can do about it. We can do something about it!
War (Gavin Chung): Bill Hammon had his vision in 1992, since that we have had two moves of God and our hearts still have not changed, so war is now inevitable. Over the past three hundred years, many thousands of Christians, have had dreams and visions of World War Three. The next war will be an East / West war; the first war in Revelations (World War 3). At the end of this war their will be a great move of God and multitude will be translated into the Kingdom. It will be more than a revival, but it will reform our culture. The second war in Revelations will be Armageddon (World War 4) and with it will come the great end times harvest. We should be concerned about war, for it is normal around many great moves of God. In fact, war is God's 'boot camp', God's preparation for many of us. It develops in us 'character' and an 'excellent spirit'. If we let war concern us, it will hinder us coming into blessing.
This coming war is to determine whether the East or the West rules the world. It is a war that Islam has been planing for hundreds of years and China has been planning since the beginning of the 1990's. This is a war to determine whether Islam and Communism governs the world or Democracy. This is a war to determine whether Islam or Christianity becomes the world religion. In the end the Kings of the West, will prevail over the Islamic Kings of the East, but it may be at a great price. If these days were not shortened no flesh will be saved. God will confront and defeat the 'Sword of Allah', the Kings of the East. Never the less, God is pouring out His Father heart of love towards our Islam brothers. We are called to love our Islam brothers, in the Holy Spirit and not in the flesh.
We are at the 'beginning of the end' (not at the end, as some suppose), a time of 'great paradigm shifts and great paradoxes'. We are in 'the best of times and the worst of times'. As our Father pours out His 'realm of glory', it is effecting great change across the earth, as in the times of Charles Finney, Marie Woodworth-Etter and Evan Roberts. Previously realms of glory, brought great awakenings and moves of God. As the realm of glory falls, the Kingdom will be greatly advanced, Jerusalem will be fully restored back to the Jews, the Father will pour out His 'Father heart of love' and we will see 'great signs and wonders'.
As the glory goes into the demonic, the demonic will literally explode and we will see war and terrorism continue to get worst in Israel and around the world. With the realm of glory, will also come the White Throne Of Judgment upon Israel and the world, as the glory and unrighteousness are incompatible. Previously, the White Throne brought World War One and the Great Depression and World War Two. The White Throne will greatly shake the Babylonian, in particular it will be shaken politically, economically and religiously.
In this season, we will see a cycle of world events that will unfolding over the next seven years, until it's conclusion at the end of 2008. We are not seeing Armageddon or the great end time harvest, as this is only the beginning of the end. However the Kingdom will be greatly advanced and the Babylonian will be greatly shaken. As we sacrificially pour our lives into the Kingdom, we will be blessed. Moslems are also pouring themselves forth into the demonic Islamic kingdom, to advance their kingdom. 'Prepare', for we are in the best of time and the worst of times.
Civil War In Israel: This is a season of war. Their will not only be uprising among the Palestinian, but Jew will begin to rise up against one another. An 'apocalypse' or catastrophe will occur in Israel, as the intensity of the 'glory' falls, causing explosions in the spiritual realm, that will spill over into the natural realm. If these days were not shorted, there will be no flesh saved in Israel. Now the Dead Sea Scowls have been fully translated, they point to the Christ as Saviour. As the realm of glory comes, we will see a 'new breed of Messianic Jew'. Just as Christ was persecuted, so will the new Messianic Jews be persecuted in Israel. Eventually we will also see warring between the Orthodox Jews and the New Messianic Jews.
Civil war will also come within the church. There will be war between those of the Former House who are cleaving to the Church around Christ and those of the Latter House who are cleaving to the Kingdom around the Father. The New Messianic Jews and those in the New Church will become one. Jewish New Year 2002 (07 September 2001) will be the end of the season of 'grace and mercy'. For many years the Palestinians have been arming themselves. Today they have one of the largest stockpiles of small arms in the world. The current Palestinian uprising in Israel is a fight for the control of the city of Jerusalem. Jerusalem is destined to be the seat of power of Christ and it will become the city of peace, but the demonic seeks to make it the seat of power for the Islamic, New World Order and the Antichrist. With war in Israel, America will side with Israel and the Arabs will side with their Palestinian brothers. Jerusalem has been the most fought over piece of land on earth; it has been captured and recaptured around twenty-eight times. God is sovereignly using the Palestinian uprising to restore Jerusalem back to Himself and to the Jews.
Terrorism And War Against Terrorism: Islam has declared a Holy War on Israel and the nations with a Christian heritage. God is giving them their Holy War. Bin Laden looks upon this wave of terrorism, as a continuation of the Crusades and other previous Holy Wars, that have continued for the last fourteen hundred years. In the written words that have been attributed to Bin Laden, 'if God is with us, we will win, but if God is not with us, no matter what we do, we will lose'. Islam is a counterfeit form of the Apostolic and as such conquers, rule, reign and governs. The Prince Of Persia, a strong demonic principality, is behind Islam. Islam is militant, conquering all before it and it's stronghold from Morocco to Indonesia, with the exception of India. After Jewish New Year 2002, terrorism and the war against terrorism will also escalate. Eventually, as terrorism escalates, a coalition of ten nations, to combat terrorism, stabilise currencies and protect world trade.
The first World War One broke down the class system. World War Two brought in Socialism and the re-establishment of Israel as a nation. World War Three will be between the Western Christian nations and the Islamic Kings of the East and North Africa. Whoever wins, will determine which faith will dominate the world. The warring is part of the judgement that is coming from the White Throne, against the Prince Of Persia and Islam.
Pray for the protection of life and that revelation from the Father will come upon President George W. Bush. Araphat and Bin Laden are both fighting a Holy War to make Islam the World religion, with Jerusalem as it capital. Both profess that if God is with them they will prevail, if not they will lose. War, The Church And The Kingdom: In the realm of glory, a 'new church', a new 'body and family of believers' will come, that will be quite different to our institutionalised church of today. God is beginning to pour out His holiness, His love, His unity and His wisdom into this new church. As a paradox, war will come to the church from: a. Within the church. b. The world. c. Terrorists. War came to Charles Finney, Marie Woodworth-Etter, Evan Roberts and William Semour. In Welsh Revivals, Jesse Penn-Lewis even recorded the warring in the 'War On The Saints'. Civil war will break out in the church. The 'old order will war against the new order' and those that are building the 'local church' will war against those who are 'building the Kingdom'. With the civil war, we in the church will be greatly shaken; everything that can be shaken will be shaken. Whole denominations will disappear, some will be greatly transformed and many new churches will be raised up. Never the less, our Father is calling us not to take part in this war and not to retaliate, if we are attacked. Since 1948 everything that has happened to Israel (as a nation) has had a consequence or a parallel in the Church. In 1948 the nation of Israel was re-established and God commissioned a generation of evangelist and healing evangelist, with the likes Billy Graham, Oral Roberts and Kenneth Hagan. In 1967 Israel reclaimed more land, during the six-day war and the glory of God came down and shook the church with the beginnings of the Charismatic Movement. In 1973 Israel reclaimed more land and the Charismatic Movement gained a new momentum and came into the church at large. It took seven years from when the glory first fell for the Charismatic Move to begin to flow into the wider church. For the last decade and a half Israel has been in the doldrums, with civil unrest, a weak currency and high inflation and the church has also been in a 'modern dark age' or a 'holding pattern'.
With the paradigm shifts and paradoxes over the next seven years, the Kingdom will be greatly advanced. We are being brought into the Kingdom, as we find our appointed places in God. We are beginning to be caught up in the great whirlwind of the Holy Spirit. God is shattering our 'earth bound natural existence' that is keeping us out of the Kingdom and the supernatural. We are God's planting and we will begin to flourish, as His Kingdom comes. As the call upon our lives take form and as we begin to move into the place that our Father has prepared for us, we begin to enter into His Kingdom. Our Father is now gathering us who are straggling and bringing us into line. According to our Father purposes, the Holy Spirit is leading us. There is a tremendous breakthrough coming, which will propel us forward into a totally new way of living. Nothing will remain the same as we enter into His Kingdom. Our Father is setting things in His perfect order, A good man leaves an inheritance to his children's children, but the sinner's wealth is laid up for the righteous (Proverbs 13:22).
Over the next seven years, in this time of paradigm shifts and paradoxes, some of the wealth of the Babylonian world system will begin to be 'translated' into the Kingdom. The wealth of the Kingdom will be used to begin to fulfil Isaiah 61:
The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me, because the LORD has anointed me to bring good tidings to the afflicted; he has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to those who are bound; to proclaim the year of the LORD's favour, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all who mourn; to grant to those who mourn in Zion--to give them a garland instead of ashes, the oil of gladness instead of mourning, the mantle of praise instead of a faint spirit; that they may be called oaks of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that he may be glorified. They shall build up the ancient ruins, they shall raise up the former devastation's; they shall repair the ruined cities, the devastation's of many generations. Aliens shall stand and feed your flocks, foreigners shall be your plowmen and vine dressers; but you shall be called the priests of the LORD, men shall speak of you as the ministers of our God; you shall eat the wealth of the nations.
This War Has To Be So: God told Reas Howell to stop praying against the World War Two, for it had to be so. After World War Two, Israel was eventually re-established as a nation in 1948 and the Jews began to come back to their homeland. This war between the East and the West also has to be so. With war between the Kings of Islam and the West, they will not succeed in making Jerusalem their seat of power. The Kings of Islam ambitions to make Islam the religion of the world will be finally halted, after fourteen hundred years. With this war: Israel will be further established, with Jerusalem as it's seat of power. Jew will begin to come to Christ. Jews and Christians will begin to become one. The Kingdom will be strongly established.
Our Father is establishing the Kingdom, with it's set of power in Jerusalem. The demonic, the Prince of Persia, the principality behind the Islamic, is also trying to building an Islamic kingdom, with it's seat of power in Jerusalem. In the end the West will prevail, against Bin Laden and the world will be released from sword of Islam, the Prince of Persia and their people will be released to come into the Kingdom.
Certainly I believe that if the U.S. doesn't humble itself and EARNESTLY TURN THOROUGHLY TO GOD, we will suffer more and sooner and longer.
Several points in the doc are new information and somewhat encouraging.
‘just possibly, the posting of Religion topics in the "Religion Forum"'
I moved to General Topics. I included religion in the word list.
But actually, I wasn't trying totally diligently to do that. It seems TO ME that this topic would just as CORRECTLY AND REASONABLY gone into EXTENDED NEWS.
Those rabidly averse to any hint of religion can take a Prozac or a valium. God happens to be a rather interesting Source of info about many current topics.
When a tabloid is a source, we don't hear screams to put it in a TABLOID department.
When a personal relative or associate in Florida is a source on Renal Reno, we don't hear screams to put it in a PERSONAL RELATIVE or ASSOCIATE-IN-FLORIDA department.
Why does it get your knickers in a twist for a current topic of national and international concern from a Christian perspective to get posted in the natural topical areas for that document?
THIS DOCUMENT IS ABOUT TERRORISM. THIS DOCUMENT IS ABOUT WWIII--SEVERITY, PREPAREDNESS, RESULTS. THIS DOCUMENT IS ABOUT NATURAL DISASTERS. THIS DOCUMENT IS ABOUT CHINA, RUSSIA AND ARABS GANGING UP ON THE U.S. WHEN OUR MILITARY IS OVEREXTENDED OVERSEAS. . . ETC. ETC.
Given all that, people with an affinity for the "religious" section COULD LOGICALLY complain that the document should go in EXTENDED NEWS.
Sigh.
However, I would never want to try to delay the end of the rebellion against God - so whereas others might be more comfortable praying for a revival in the U.S. to forestall the Biblical prophecies - my prayer is "He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus." (Revelation 22:20)
I've been of the same feelings and choice often.
I particularly feel that way when the trials have been long and the fiery furnaces extra hot and the Brothers and Sisters seeming more like shredding the wounded instead of comforting and healing them.
Howver, when I'm feeling good and robust, I get concerned for the lost still not knowing their left hand from their right and certainly not The One who Loves them sooooo much. Then I'm more likely to pray for more time.
The past couple of years with so much pain involved with a Godson and the local church, I've felt more like taking the first elevator UP!!!
I MUCH APPRECIATE ALL THE EFFORTS YOU MAKE FOR THE KINGDOM AND THE COUNTRY!
Take care of yourself! . . . and enjoy those closest to you!
LUB, BLPH,
BLESSINGS TO YOU & YOUR CLOSEST RELATIONSHIPS!
