The Coming of Antichrist

IS CHINA NOW THE SUPER POWER AND WHO IS THE ANTI-CHRIST?

My heart was bleeding when this pandemic that started in Wuhan China became a global affair as the scourge swooped into nations of the world killing human beings and bringing a twist to the economies of the whole world.  Many people including clergymen and women, other religious leaders, politicians etc, all over the world began to give out their fake messages saying, “thus says the Lord when the Lord had not spoken”.  Some went as far as quoting dates as what the Lord told them when the scourge will be over.  Many even cited the predictions of Nostradamus. I was flabbergasted as I could not come to terms that we ministers of the gospel have resorted to using predictions of an avatar or occult grand-master which is what Nostradamus was, to understand what the Lord revealed to us in the scriptures.  We began to neglect the leading of His Spirit to follow shadows and many who have been waiting for the downfall of United States of America started hailing China as the next super-power.

In the midst of this devastating confusion, many people both the unbelieving world and even the Christendom are asking questions about the end of age, the coming of the anti-Christ and the much talked about rapture of the saints, with great fear as not to be left behind.  I am therefore led by the Lord to use the scripture and put some of these records straight so that he/she who has ears should hear what the Lord is saying.

THE GAME OF SUPER POWER DOMINATION

I read an article in which somebody was talking about how America and China have been fighting a cold war over who will be the super power.  He narrated how America fought the same battle with Russia for forty (40) years and they eventually subdued Russia by dismantling what was formerly known as Union of Soviet Socialists Republic (USSR) as they instigated and helped in granting independence to many nations that make up the strong USSR.  By this act, they weakened USSR militarily and economically like they did to Germany after the Second World War dividing them into East and West Germany, thus weakening her both militarily and economically.  Though they are back together as Germany, but don’t possess the kind of solid power they had before and during the Second World War.  Another article I also read by a Chinese soldier suggested that China knows they cannot defeat America militarily, so the only option is to find a way to defeat them economically.  With the introduction of crypto-currency, the Asian giants China, Russia etc, wanted to use those Bitcoin, Etherum, Ripples, etc., to weaken the world dominance of Pound, Dollar and Euro in the international market.  But again America and their Europe allies conspired and pulled out their business billionaires who had swung into action with their dollars, pounds and Euros to make crypto-currency a global trend.  So instead of dollar, pound and euro crashing, crypto-currency crashed before the world took serious note of it and those Asian giants are the worst hit.  So in retaliation and in their continued quest to dominate the world, China invented and gave the entire world “corona virus” targeting majorly at United States of America and their Europe allies, and thereby almost bringing the economies of this countries and the world to a halt.  It is no more news to the world that it is not a common virus in China called Corona that causes flu like common cold, cough and catarrh etc, that they are battling with but a powerful bio-chemical virus that kills with reckless  abandon.  With this they say, China has succeeded in gaining control of the world economy as America and their Europe allies cannot easily bounce back and that will also reflect in them being the next super power having overthrown America and their allies.  Well this is mere permutations from man and wishful thinking for God did not make such provision in the scriptures.  And China had not only opened their businesses since, but invented an anti-vaccine to tackle this virus which they intend to sell to the rest of the world and boost their economy.  The truth remains that God named His super powers before the kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ will be established on earth for God to bring to an end this historic panorama.  This is not to say that China is not one of the world powers that the world knows about, but she is not a super power and can never be.

UNVEILING GOD’S SUPER POWERS

God made sure He gave us no room to doubt Him if we are seeking Him in spirit and truth as He began to show the world who the super-powers that will rule this world were and will be by first revealing it in B. C. 603 to a heathen king who He called His servant.  Before this revelation, God had instituted the “times of the Gentiles” which He revealed to prophet Jeremiah and that is “the Gentiles domination and subjugation of Jerusalem”.  All the kings and kingdoms that fought and defeated Israel were never able to overwhelm Jerusalem.  King Sargon of Assyria who came close carried the “ten tribes” of Israel without Benjamin and Judah into captivity in B. C. 721, because they were still another nation.  However, prophesying to Jehoiakim the son of Josiah the king of Judah, Jeremiah in chapters 25, 26 and 27 of his book, told him of the seventy (70) years captivity of Jerusalem, with all the souls, all the vessels, etc, by Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon who God had divinely chosen as His servant to execute that divine mandate.  And so in B. C. 606, the seventy years captivity of Jerusalem by Babylon prophesied by Jeremiah began.  Nebuchadnezzar as the war lord but not yet the king, until the death of Nabopolassar his father, who was the king in B. C. 605, led the armies of Babylon to destroy Jerusalem and took captive many of the Jewish youths like Daniel, Shedrack, Meshach, Abednego, etc., as slaves. 

In the second year of his reign (i.e. B.C. 603), God showed him for the very first time in a dream about the kingdoms, the super powers and the kingdom of our Lord Jesus being established on earth.  He neither remembered nor understood it and so in Daniel Chapter 2 after the dream he assembled all his astrologers, sorcerers and Chaldeans, to remind him the dream and the interpretation.  None could until Daniel was brought in and he told him the dream and the interpretation by the divine inspiration of God.  And the dream was:

THE DREAM OF NEBUCHADNEZZAR

“Thou, O king, sawest, and behold a great image. This great image, whose brightness was excellent, stood before thee: and the form therefore was terrible. This image’s head was of fine gold, his breast and his arms of silver, his belly and his thighs of brass, his legs of iron, his feet part of iron and part of clay. Thou sawest till that a stone was cut out without hands, which smote the image upon his feet that were of iron and clay, and brake them to pieces. Then was the iron, clay, the brass, the silver, and the gold broken to pieces together, and became like the chaff of the summer threshing floors: and the wind carried them away, that no place was found for them: and the stone that smote the image became a great mountain, and filled the whole earth” (Dan 2:31-35).

THE INTERPRETATION OF THE KING’S DREAM

Daniel the prophet said to Nebuchadnezzar, “thou art this head of Gold”, and so Babylon which is Iraq today through Nebuchadnezzar’s reign was the first super power beginning “the seventy years of Jerusalem’s captivity or the “times of the Gentiles”.  The arms and the breast were the Medo-Persian Empire under Cyrus who was from the root of Queen Esther and King Ahasuerus, that was the second super power and then came the belly and the thighs of the image that Daniel interpreted as the Grecian empire, and which was fulfilled under Alexander the Great, as the third super power.  Note that Persia is Iran of today and Grecia is Greece.  And then the next super power was as Daniel put it, “strong as iron: for as much as iron breaketh in pieces and subdueth all things: and as iron that breaketh all these, shall it break in pieces and bruise”.  The fourth super power mentioned here that has iron leg was the Roman Empire.  There is a significant thing that happened here; apart from the iron leg, part of the feet and toes of the image were iron while the other part was clay.

Daniel went further to explain, “and whereas thou sawest the feet and toes, part of potter’s clay (democratic governance), and part of iron (iron curtain or governance of communism), the kingdom shall be divided.  But there shall be in it of the strength of iron, for as much as thou sawest the iron mixed with miry clay.  And as the toes of the feet were part of iron, and part of clay, so the kingdom (Roman) shall be partly strong, and partly broken.  And whereas thou sawest iron mixed with miry clay, they shall mingle themselves with the seed of men: but they shall not cleave one to another, even as iron is not mixed with clay.”  The old Roman Empire truly was divided into two; the clay and iron.  Clay represents the part that operates democratic principles of governance while the iron represents the iron curtain countries of Europe that operate communism as principles of governance.  Just as it is not possible to physically mix iron when melted with clay because when it gets cold, they will separate showing they were never meant to be together.  This is how communism and democracy can never work together in the governance of any nation.  So all their efforts to confederate with nations not practicing the principles each use in governance have failed and will continue to fail. And then that iron kingdom which was Roman Empire at its inception later lost its power or supremacy to Britain and it became the British Empire but still under the original Roman Empire.  Then the British Empire gave birth to America and America defeated them and later unified many nations, islands and states and chose to answer United States of America but still under the old Roman Empire.  The old Roman Empire became revived and christened themselves Europe League first of all after the Second World War, and then later European Union; so the European Union formed a strong ally with United States of America economically, politically, militarily and even religiously because they are all the sons of Japheth.

For this reason China dreads them, Russia dreads them, North Korea dreads them, the Arab League led by Iran and Syria dreads them because they (revived Roman Empire – i.e. European Union and United States of America) are still the super power until the man of sin comes up from his own kingdom as the little horn.

Daniel did not interpret the little horn (i.e. the kingdom of the Antichrist) here because it was not shown to Nebuchadnezzar, and so he went ahead to interpret the Stone or the Millennial kingdom of Christ by telling king Nebuchadnezzar,  “And in the days of these kings (i.e. ten toes of the ten kings which will take political name of United States of Europe or Europe League Nation) shall the God of Heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed, and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand forever.”  This is the coming kingdom of Christ from millennium.

DANIEL’S OWN VISION

I saw in my vision by night, and behold, the four winds of the heaven (four spirits that operate in the heavenlies) strove upon the great sea (nations of the world). And four great beasts (super powers) came up from the sea (i.e. world or nations), diverse one from another.  The first was like a lion, and had eagle’s wings:  I beheld till the wings thereof were plucked, and it was lifted up from the earth and made stand upon the feet as a man, and a man’s heart was given to it.  And behold another beast, a second, like to a bear, and it raised up itself on one side, and it had three ribs in the mouth of it between the teeth of it: and they (the Heavenly watchers) said thus unto it, arise, devour much flesh.  After this I beheld, and lo another, like a leopard, which had upon the back of it four wings of a fowl; the beast had also four heads, and dominion was given to it.  After this I saw in the night visions, and behold a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, and strong exceedingly; and it had great iron teeth; it devoured and broke in pieces, and stamped the residue (the other beasts) with the feet of it: and it was diverse from all the beasts that were before it, and it had ten horns.  I considered the horns, and behold, there came up among them another little horn, before whom there were three of the first horns, plucked up by the roots, and, behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of man, and a mouth speaking great things.  I beheld till the thrones were cast down, and the Ancient of days did sit, whose garment was white as snow, and the hair of his head like the pure wool.  His throne was like the fiery flame, and his wheels as burning fire as a fiery stream issued and came forth from before him, thousand, thousands ministered unto him, and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him: the judgment was set, and the books were opened. I beheld them because of the voice of the great words which the horn spoke: I beheld even till the beast was slain, and his body destroyed and given to the burning flame. As concerning the rest of the beasts, they had their dominion taken away, yet their lives were prolonged for a season and time. I saw in the night visions, and behold, one like the Son of man came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient of days, and they brought him near before him. And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages should serve him: his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed” (Dan 7: 2-14)

THE INTERPRETATION OF DANIEL’S DREAM

“These great beasts, which are four, are four kings, which shall arise out of the earth. But the saints of the Most High shall take the kingdom, and possess the kingdom forever, even forever and ever. Then I would know the truth as of the fourth beast, which was diverse from all the others, exceeding dreadful, whose teeth were of iron, and his nails of brass; which devoured, break in pieces, and stamped the residue with his feet: And of the ten horns that were in his head, and of the other which came up, and before who three fell: even of that horn that had eyes, and a mouth that spake very great things, whose look was more stout than his fellows. I beheld, and the same horn made war with the saints, and prevailed against them. Until the Ancient of days came, and judgment was given to the saints of the Most High; and the time that the saints possessed the kingdom. Thus he said, the fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdom upon earth, which shall be diverse from all kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, and shall tread it down, and break it in pieces. And the ten horns out of this kingdom are ten kings that shall arise, and another shall rise after them, and he shall be diverse from the first, and he shall subdue three kings. And he shall speak great words against the Most High and shall wear out the saints of the Most High, and think to change times and laws, and they shall be given into his hands until a time and times and the dividing of time (3½ yrs ). But the judgment shall sit, and they shall take away his dominion, to consume and to destroy it unto the end. And the kingdom and dominion, and the greatness of the kingdom under the whole heaven, shall be given to the people of the saints of the Most High, whose kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and all dominions shall serve and obey him.” (Dan.7:17-27). God used the vision He showed Daniel here, to confirm the one he showed Nebuchadnezzar about that great image, and also to prove that China was not listed among the super powers. Not then and definitely not now, when you study the names of those kingdoms he has ordained to be super powers. The lion kingdom then according to Daniel was the Babylonian Empire under Nebuchadnezzar as portrayed by the colossal figures of lions, with the wings of an eagle, and the face of a man, that adorned the palaces of Nineveh and Babylon. It also corresponded to Nebuchadnezzar’s “Head of Gold” of the image he saw in his dream. Lion is the king of beasts while Eagle is the king of birds and so the combination of lion that has Eagle’s wings indicate “absolute monarchy” of Nebuchadnezzar and his conquering power or flight over the nations he subdued. For his wings to be plucked indicate that as the power of his conquest weakened the glory of his Empire began to wane. And it was lifted up and caused to walk on two feet like a man instead of four that a lion is supposed to walk with, and a man’s heart was given it while still a beast. By this act, it stopped using teeth and claws to overrun his enemies but intellect as a man. The “plucking of the wings” may likely be referred to as “the insanity of Nebuchadnezzar”, and                             “the standing on two feet like a man, and receiving of a man’s heart”, likened to his recovery from the nature of a beast and his attitude as human. I know that some school of thought may say or believe that the lion is Britain because her national emblem is lion and the Eagles United States of America as one that sprang up from the lion, but far be it because by then the Roman Empire where Britain and other European nations emerged from were still far from coming up as a world power and so Britain cannot spring up or give birth to herself.

The second beast in Daniel’s vision was the bear, and which was Medo-Persian Empire under Cyrus.  He allowed his uncle Darius to oversee the affairs of the kingdom when as a bear and the second strongest animal after lion he was still devouring other kingdoms.  He later governed Persia the bigger of the two kingdoms leaving Darius his uncle to rule the smaller Media.  And this beast corresponds to Nebuchadnezzar’s “right shoulder and arm” that was silver, showing as silver is inferior to gold, so was the bear inferior to lion and Nebuchadnezzar’s gold kingdom superior to Cyrus silver kingdom.  Don’t forget that Cyrus traced his roots from the marriage between Queen Esther and King Ahasuerus and he was the one that issued a decree for the rebuilding of Jerusalem during the time of Nehemiah.

Then the third beast was like a leopard that had four wings of a fowl while the beast had four heads.  This was Greece or the Brass kingdom of Nebuchadnezzar’s “abdomen and thigh parts of his image” dream that governed the whole earth under the rulership of Alexander the Great.  But the four heads the beast had showed that after Alexander the Great, the empire was divided among his four notable generals that governed the kingdoms of Thrace, Macedonia, Syria and Egypt.  These were the four kingdoms that make up Grecian Empire under Alexander the Great the third world super power after “the Times of the Gentiles” began with Israel’s “seventy years of captivity”.  And one of those kingdoms as we continue in this study, will produce the antichrist.

The fourth beast which was dreadful and terrible, and strong exceedingly that had great iron teeth, nails of brass, ten horns corresponds to Nebuchadnezzar’s iron legs of the image that had ten toes.  Therefore this beast was the Roman Empire that metamorphosed to European Union of today.  They began with Rome being their head, later it shifted to Britain or British Empire but she did not have a full control over other members of European Union.  And so Spain, Portugal, Germany, France, Holland and even Belgium all colonized many countries indicating that Britain were not hundred percent in charge.  Then came the Americans who broke the colonial dominance of Britain, had her independence through them and later defeated Britain and so other European nations including Britain formed allies with them.  Apart from forming allies with the Europe nations, United States of America also formed another alliance they called North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO).  So the revived Roman Empire called European Union, with one of their brothers United States of America still remain the super power until the little horn springs up from the ten horns.  Therefore the People’s Republic of China can never be a super power because God did not ordain them to be. 

The Question Now Is Who Is That Little Horn That Had Eyes And Which Sprang From The Ten Horns?

If we must have to decode who the little horn is, we have to compare the first vision Daniel had during the first year of the reign of Belshazzar king of Babylon and the one he also received during Belshazzar’s third year reign.  Daniel’s first vision was this one of the beasts in which the fourth beast has iron teeth, brass nails, ten horns and a little horn that had eyes and which came up from the ten horns, and his second vision where another beast precisely a ram which had two horns with one horn higher than the other and in which the higher one came up last.  Daniel said in the interpretation given to him that the fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdom or fourth super power upon the earth which shall be diverse from all other kingdoms or super powers, and shall devour the whole earth, tread it down and break it in pieces. The ten horns of the beast are ten kings which shall come up later, but another king which is the little horn shall arise after them and shall be different from the first, and shall triumph over three out of the ten kings of the ten horns and the rest seven kings will surrender to him thus withdrawing from their alliance with United States of America.  The little horn is going to be the last super power before the Stone kingdom of our Lord Jesus and it is where the antichrist is coming from.  Another vision from Daniel reads:

Then I lifted up mine eyes, and saw and behold, there stood before the river a ram (Media/Persia) which had two horns: and the two horns were high (Media) but one was higher than the other and the higher (Persia) came up last.

I saw the ram (Media/Persia) pushing westward (Lydia), and northward (Babylon), and southward (Egypt) [the interpretation of these dreams and nations are based on where the writer was when the vision or the dream was shown to him, and the position each of those nations is to Israel or Jerusalem as the main theatre in this historic panorama]: so that no beasts might stand before him, neither was there any that could deliver out of his hand: but he did according to his will, and became great.  And as I was considering behold an he goat (Greece Empire) came from the west on the face of the whole earth, and touched not the ground and the goat had a notable horn (Alexander the Great) between his eyes.  And he came up to the ram that had two horns, which I had seen standing before the river, and ran unto him in the fury of his power.  And I saw him come close unto the ram, and he was moved with choler (rage) against him, and smote the ram, and brake his two horns (Media/Persia) and there was no power in the ram to stand before him, but he cast him down to the ground, and stamped upon him: and there was none that could deliver the ram out of his hand.  Therefore the he goat waxed very great: and when he was strong, the great horn (Alexander the Great) was broken (died): and for it came up four notable ones (Thrace, Macedonia, Syria and Egypt) toward the four winds of heaven.  And out of one of them came forth a little horn, (this is talking of one of the four notable ones which is likely going to be Syria as where the little horn will spring up from) which waxed exceeding great toward the South (Egypt), and toward the east (Babylon) and toward the pleasant land (Jerusalem or Palestine). And it waxed great even to the host of heaven; and it cast down some of the host (Jews) and of the stars (Saints) to the ground, and stamped on them. Yea, he magnified himself even to the prince of the host (the Lord Jesus), and by him (antichrist) the daily sacrifice was taken away, and the place of his sanctuary was cast down. And an host was given him against the daily sacrifice by reason of transgression, (i.e. the Jews were given over for the transgression against the daily sacrifice) and it cast down the truth to the ground; and it practiced, and prospered” (Dan.8:3-12).” Having connected the two visions of Daniel in the first and third year reign of Belshazzar king of Babylon, we have discovered that the little horn that sprang up after the manifestation of the ten (10) European Union Federated states likely going to be called the United States of Europe (666), and which fought and defeated three of their federated states according to Dan.7:7-8, is going to be the new Super Power.

And since it is coming out of an Arab Country like Syria, there is a possibility they are going to be in league like the Arabia League Nation (666) or United States of Arabia (666). This can easily be made possible as soon as Britain which broke off from the European alliance in order to continue her romance with America, decides to go back to that confederation with other European nations so as to form a political union called United States of Europe (666). Their forming a confederation to stay on their own and be a United political nation will weaken them as they will no more get military and economic support from United States of America who will continue their alliance with Israel.

This vulnerability will open the door of attack or serious war between them (i.e. EU formed political States) and the Arabia League of Nation or the United States of Arabia led by Syria and three (3) of the ten (10) Nations forming the Federated States will fall and the rest of the seven will quickly form another alliance with the Arabs so as to protect themselves. I have the witness in my heart that it is strong nations like Britain, France and Germany among those ten nations that will fall because of their already compromised state with the Arabs politically. Britain is already gone because almost seventy (70%) of the governance of their country are under the influence of Muslims (Moslems). As for France and Germany, they are halfway gone, almost to totally gone because of the manner in which they let their borders open to those Arab nations who were displaced because of war in Syria, Iraq, etc. Their time has come to pay the price for being merciful to sons of Ishmael whose swords are against every man and nation. The other seven nations that are not as strong as those regarded – world powers, will quickly give up their standards and surrender. Therefore the Arabia League Nation (666) or the United States of Arabia (666) is coming up just after EU confederates as United States of Europe and as the little horn, the next and the last super power through which the antichrist will come from as both their king and the king of the world before the Stone kingdom of our Lord Jesus will manifest.

The eyes that the little horn has are the eyes of the antichrist, the man of sin, a king of fierce countenance understanding dark sentences, a cruel lord, a man of lawlessness, the willful king, the son of perdition, the beast, the prince that shall come.

Daniel said in chapter 11:37-38 “neither shall he (the antichrist) regard the God of his fathers (Abraham, Isaac and Jacob), nor the desire of women (churches and Christian religious organizations throughout the world which is to worship and sacrifice unto God)), nor regard any god:  for he shall magnify himself above all.  But in his estate (in place of God Almighty) shall he honour the God of forces (Ammunitions of war): and a god whom his fathers (Abraham, Isaac and Jacob) knew not shall he honour with gold and silver and with precious stones and pleasant things”.  This shows he has link with the patriarchs (i.e. Abraham, Isaac and Jacob) who were all Syrians, but himself will not be a Syrian.  Why?  It is because though the patriarchs including Jacob were Syrians, but God used Jacob to start a new nation different from where he came from so that He can covenant Himself with them as a holy nation and kingdom of priests unto Himself and for this reason, He surnamed him Israel. So the antichrist being a descendant of Jacob is coming from Israel.  From vs 21-34 of Dan 11 is talking about a vile man by name Antiochus Epiphanes who ruled Syria and the antichrist will come exactly like him but from Israel. He did almost all the things the Antichrist will do but not to the level the Antichrist will do his as there were no Christians during his own time. So the Antichrist’s persecution will go global.  Another reason I and many other renowned theologians are saying Israel is because when the children of Israel were planning on how to kill their brother Joseph because of their father’s special love for him, his dreams and because he was revealing their secrets and misdeeds to Jacob their father, Reuben the eldest heard it and delivered him out of their hands; and said, “let us not kill him”.  He said further unto them, shed no blood, but cast him into this pit that is the wilderness, and lay no hand upon him: that he (Reuben) might rid them out of their hands, to deliver him to his father again.  And it came to pass, when Joseph was come unto his brethren, that they strip Joseph out of his coat, his coat of many colours that was on him. And they took him, and cast him into a pit: and the pit was empty, there was no water in it.  And they sat down to eat bread: and they lifted up their eyes and looked, and, behold a company of Ishmaelites came from Gilead with their camels bearing spicery and balm and myrrh, going to carry it down to Egypt.  And Judah said unto his brethren, what profit is it if we slay our brother, and conceal his blood?

Come and let us sell him to the Ishmaelites and let not our hand be upon him: for he is our brother and our flesh.  And his brethren were content.  Then there passed by Midianites merchantmen; and they drew and lifted up Joseph out of the pit, and sold Joseph to the Ishmaelites for twenty pieces of silver and they brought Joseph to Egypt” (Gen 37:21-28).  This idea or suggestion of Judah to sell his brother Joseph was visited upon his generations for many years, though he had opportunity to repent with his siblings and make amends as you can see in Gen. 44:1-34, when he offered to be taken as a bondman or slave in place of his younger brother Benjamin in whose sack Joseph’s men hid his silver cup.  Joseph had wanted to detain Benjamin and make him his bondman when his cup was found in his sack to test his brethren who up to this time have not discerned that Joseph was that their brother they sold.  Therefore with Judah’s statement in verses 30-34 pleading that Benjamin be released to go with the rest siblings back to their father so that he will not die, but let him be kept as a bondman, Joseph was heartbroken and decided to make himself known to them having seen that of a truth they have repented and were sorry for what they did.  Like I said earlier that this act was visited upon Judah as his two sons died without having any issue because of their wickedness.  Therefore in order to prevent the same death befalling his last surviving son, he lied to his daughter in-law who in turn disguised as a prostitute and got Judah to get her pregnant without knowing it was her.  In a nutshell, despite all the blessings of God upon Judah, Satan found his way again many years after into his tribe as one of his descendants dented his good reputation when he sold the Pride and real roaring Lion of Judah (the Lord Jesus Christ) to the chief priests and the scribes or better still the Pharisees to be killed like his fore father Judah did.

And the chief priests and scribes sought how they might kill him for they feared the people.  Then entered Satan into Judas surnamed Iscariot, being of the number of the twelve.  And he went his way, and communed with the chief priests and captains, how he might betray him unto them.  And they were glad, and covenanted to give him money”.

WHO THEN IS THIS MAN (I.E. THE ANTICHRIST)?

This question has thrown the church and so many theologians into great confusion for many centuries now, I myself inclusive.  Some forerunners of the anti-Christ have all been termed as the anti-Christ and later people will discover they are not.  Antiochus Epiphanes, Nero Caesar, Hitler, Napoleon and more recently some are even looking at Barack Obama.  Well all these are as a result of not really asking the Lord to direct us to where it is written in the Bible because every move of God is in the Bible.  Many renowned theologians know that the antichrist is coming from the Middle East or better still one of the Arab nations judging by the Arab hatred for the Jews.  Some of us for thirty years now have the knowledge that he is going to come from Israel.

WHY DID I THINK AND SAY ISRAEL?

(Luke 22:2-5).  This was how the same spirit that manipulated Judah towards suggesting that his brother Joseph be sold to Ishmaelites so that his blood will not be upon them, also enticed Judas of the same tribe with Jesus to sell Jesus to the Pharisees so that they can kill Him thereby preventing him (Judas) from shedding the blood of his brother Jesus.  Therefore when John the divine was describing who will be the man of sin, he made some striking statements as he said, the beast that thou sawest was and is not, and shall ascend out of bottomless pit, and go into perdition” (Rev. 17:8).  With this statement, I had thought and even preached that the same scenario will take place as the spirit that manipulated Judah into suggesting that Joseph should be sold, and which came out and entered a descendant of Judah with the name of Judas Iscariot to sell his brother Jesus Christ of the same tribe and country, will also come out of bottomless pit where the spirits not souls of those that died without Christ are reserved for eternal judgment, and enter another descendant of Judah again to be the antichrist.  However during this much talked about lockdown when the Lord instructed me to do this write up, He showed me that the spirit which will ascend out of bottomless pit and who is going to be the antichrist will judge and not sell or betray his brethren.  The message became very strange to me and I asked the Lord why? Is it not John the divine that wrote “the beast thou sawest was (and truly Judas was) and is not (by the time John was writing this, Judas was no more as he committed suicide) and shall ascend out of bottomless pit, so how can there be sudden change? And the Lord said, “it is the spirit that used them John was talking about and truly it is coming out again but will use another tribe to judge.  He asked me, “doth a fountain send forth at the same place sweet water and bitter?” “Will Judah produce both the Saviour and anti-saviour?”  Before I could say anything, He said again, “Go to Gen. 49 and see Jacob’s blessings to his children and who he said will judge his brethren”.                   Wao-oo, I rushed to Gen 49 and when I came to verses 16-18, I shouted and I said, “Lord I have seen him-ooo, the tribe of Dan”.  Then I was downcast and asked Him, “Lord why did you surname me Daniel when the man of sin is going to come out from the same tribe and bear the same thing?” And “He calmly answered me and said no, you are Daniel (God’s judge) but the wicked one is from Dan (Judge)”. I asked but Dan is still Daniel only that it is a short abbreviation?  He said, “it is not, the full name is Dan because he can never be my judge, he will judge his brethren and the church who has rejected Me”.  He now began to show me line by line from the scripture about Dan and his descendants and what Jacob said when he was blessing his children. He said, “Dan shall judge his people as one of the tribes of Israel and this is exactly what antichrist is coming to do to the brethren of the Lord (both in the flesh and in the spirit). Dan shall be a serpent by the way (Dan along the way will change to become the devil), an adder in the path ( a viper or rather a treacherous and spiteful person along the way), that  biteth the horse heels, so that his rider shall fall backward (horse heels represent the strength of those that follow him when he turns to become a serpent or a viper).  I have waited for thy salvation, O Lord” (Gen 49:16-18).  The old man Jacob at a very ripe age of one hundred and forty seven (147) years concluded that he has waited for the salvation of God upon Dan. Why did he say so? He gave birth to all of them and had lived and watched all of them grow in his presence, kept on praying and atoning for their sins as a good father and the priest of his household.  He knew how often he had interceded for Dan and his siblings, so he knew this attitude must surface or manifest in his descendants.  And it really happened for after many years, the tribe of Dan allowed Jeroboam the son of Solomon’s servant to introduce idolatry in Israel by erecting false place of worship in Dan.  All these and the sins of all other sons of Jacob that make up the twelve tribes of Israel, the blood of Jesus cleansed when He resurrected.  And yet Dan through the antichrist is going to be found in this sin again which will make him to lose his name  been among those that got inheritance in the kingdom of God as written by John the divine in Rev. 7:4-8.  The tribe of Dan for producing the antichrist will be replaced by Manasseh the first son of Joseph, thus making Joseph to have double portion thereby taking over from Reuben the first son who lost his double portion for sleeping with his father’s concubine but still got a portion having been atoned for by the blood of Jesus.  Even Moses called Dan a lion’s whelp in (Deut. 33:22) just like Jacob called Judah a lion’s whelp in (Gen. 49), so as Judah is a young lion that produces the main Lion of Judah, the Lord Jesus who will protect his brethren, Dan is also a young lion that will produce an opposite of Christ to fight and judge his brethren. Jeremiah the prophet summed it up when he said of Dan, “the snorting of his horses (the noise of the antichrist’s coming) was heard from Dan: the whole land (Israel) trembled at the sound of the  neighing of his strong ones; for they are come, and have devoured the land (Israel) and all that is in it: the city (Jerusalem) and those that dwell therein” (Jer. 8:16).  This is frightening for Israel, the church and the world because of the rage he is coming with. 

But why this rage one may ask?  It was because Dan being the first son of Bilhah the handmaid of Rachael and the fifth son of Jacob, lived a life of sorrow because of the shame the mother brought unto him and his brother Naphtali by opening her legs to his elder brother and first son of Leah Reuben.  The treatment meted to his adulterous mother who was quarantined to put a check on her acts of immorality, the despisement, mockery and shame he went through in the hands of his brothers and people, made him to be cold and was keeping himself away from his brethren.  He lived a solitary life and was isolating himself from his siblings.  All entreaties by his father and intercessions did not make him to change.  He had vengeance in his heart towards his brethren and was more comfortable with outsiders and enemies of Israel. He hated his father Jacob and his siblings with passion.  He had only a son and never cared about having other children as he was negligent of his wife.  Everybody around him irritates him, his few friends were outsiders who have no knowledge of this shameful act of his mother. This his attitude had great impact on his descendants who never lived up to its promise as they were not many like other tribes. They were unable to conquer much of the territory assigned or allotted to them.  The areas allotted to them were Aijalon, Ekron, Eltekeh and Zorah in the west central part of Canaan and then stretched to Joppa on the Mediterranean sea.  The Amorites who were the original inhabitants kept them confined to the hill country of Ephraim and Benjamin.  Some left the territories allotted to them and moved farer North into an isolated city of Laish conquered it and renamed the city Dan.  The tribe never supported other tribes and so other tribes never assisted them, and for this the foreign neighbours who they have things in common with, were their friends.  Do you now see that Dan is full of rage and vengeance and so he will meet his match in the sons of Ishmael who have vengeance in their hearts also because of the way Abraham sent away their big grandmother Hagar and their father Ishmael.

In conclusion, Israel hear it now your brother Dan will judge you for seven years, together with the church who will be left behind after the man-child is caught up to the throne of God.  He will gain prominence through Syria who he is fraternizing with. Bill Gates, the Rocker Feller Hauton family that controls the financial institutions in the world and few others will play an active role in the ascendancy  of the antichrist after all they are Jews from the same place, but none of them is the antichrist.  Obama established ISIS in Syria and was even paying the members recruited but he is not the antichrist as some are already ignorantly claiming.  Look at how he comes to the throne according to John the divine:

And the angel said unto me, wherefore didst thou marvel? I will tell thee the mystery of the woman (The Catholic Church), and the beast (antichrist) that carrieth her which had the seven heads (7 hills of Vaticanus where St Peter’s Bassilica in Rome is situated) and ten horns (the ten federated states named United States of Europe).  The beast (the spirit that incarnated Judas Iscariot) that thou sawest was, and is not (when John was writing because at the death of Judas, the spirit returned into bottomless pit where the spirits of those that died without Christ go to), and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit (signifying that it is an evil spirit), 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.  And here is the mind which hath wisdom.  The seven heads are seven mountains on which the woman sitteth (on which the Roman Catholic Church is situated).  And there are seven kings:  five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come: and when he comes, he must continue a short space.  And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighteth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition”. (Rev. 17: 7-11) John saw it all and said it all too, the papal church will also plcw   cay a major role towards the ascension of the antichrist to the throne that is why she is seen sitting or riding the beast which simply means influencing the beast.  At the beginning, the beast takes off from Vatican city Rome, but soon moves over and takes Jerusalem as that has been the long dream of the papal church when they sponsored Mohammed to capture Jerusalem for them.  And so what Mohammed could not achieve because Europe led by the Romans fought him through the holy crusade war when he began to deviate from their agreement, and because it was also not time for Jerusalem to fall for the last time, the antichrist will achieve within few months of ascendancy through diplomacy and because as a Jew, they will listen to him as their brother.  John mentioned in vs 10 that there are, “seven kings, five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come”.  In this, John was talking about seven notable emperors that were known in history to govern the Roman Empire both old and the revived one.  They are Emperor Julius Caesar, Emperor Augustus Caesar, Emperor Tiberias Caesar, Emperor Nero Caesar, Emperor Titus.  They were the five John said were fallen (i.e died), the one that is when he was writing was Emperor Domitian, he banished John to the island of Patmos to be killed by wild animals when he refused to die from all persecutions against him.  The one that is yet to come is antichrist the Danite from the tribe of Dan in Israel.  John said, “he will continue a short space”, and this means he will not rule long as his life will be cut short by an assassin as John  wrote in chapter 13:3, “And I saw one of the heads (meaning one of those emperors) as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast?” One more thing John said that is still surprising is this, “And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition”.  The closest understanding or revelation here is that antichrist was the seventh notable emperor but when he was shot by an assassin and died, and later resurrected through satan’s power, he became the eighth emperor but was the same person who was the seventh but a different spirit.

He will be a young man of thirty years (30) like when Christ started his ministry.  He will become the antichrist or satan’s incarnate at the age of thirty-three years (33). He is a member of ISIS but he will join in the formation of United States of Arabia (666) or Arabia League of Nation (666).  They are going to be the next super power taking over from United States of America, and forming a strong alliance with United States of Europe who are also full of rage and vengeance, who will pull out of her alliance with USA to rout the Americans, the Jews, the church and the rest of the world.  Only the physical coming of King of kings and Lord of lords will destroy him and his armies.  We should closely watch between  2023 and 2026 for his manifestation.

Now let’s see what he is going to do to all these cathedrals we build and call churches starting from the papal church:

And he saith unto me, the waters which thou sawest, where the  whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues.  And the ten horns (EEC Federated nations) which thou sawest upon the beast, these (the 10 kings) shall hate the whore (the Roman Catholic Church and her daughters), and make her desolate and naked (they will probe churches starting from Vatican city and reveal all the atrocious things done by churches and fake ministers), and shall eat her flesh (confiscate her wealth and freeze her accounts), and burn her with fire (burn down churches, including those big cathedrals).  “For God hath put in their hearts to fulfill his will, and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled” (Rev. 17:15-17).  There is no argument about this as John the divine said it is God who has put this action in the minds of those kings to do.  So those that are still wasting money and building all these edifice calling it the church of God, they will all soon go in flames courtesy of the antichrist and his cohorts.

Finally, the Lord is warning us for the last time to sit up now, don’t be too confident of this scripture that says, “For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are (spiritually) alive and remain (in faith) unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.  For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God; and the dead in Christ shall rise first, then we which are (spiritually) alive and remain (in faith) shall be caught up together with them in the cloud, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord” (1 Thess. 4:15-17).  This is one of the most deceptive scriptures I have come across because of the interpretation ministers of God or better still the Christian fold have given it. This is the trumpet meant for the spirits that’s why the dead in Christ who are now like spirits will hear it first, then those that are alive in the spirit by following the Holy Spirit wherever He goes, and remain in faith by doing every single thing the Lord asks them to do without turning left or right, will hear the trumpet and join them. So if you are born again, baptized in water and the Holy Spirit, even separated unto the Lord, spend all your money to support the work of God, suffered untold hardship, afflictions, persecutions, but you are not continually led by the Spirit of God or have hidden sins, you can’t hear this trumpet.  There are millions of believers who are physically alive, engaged in so many church activities, even perform so many and very difficult miracles in the name of the Lord, but they are spiritually dead and are no more in faith.  They will not hear the trump of God and nobody goes to wake up another that the trump of God has sounded, not even the husband or the wife.  You may be sleeping or doing another thing when the trumpet will sound,  so tell me how many of us are spiritually alive and fully remaining in faith by doing exactly what the Lord through His Spirit is  directing  us to do? God help us as we strive to do the right thing in the name of Jesus.

WHAT GOD IS DOING NOW IN HIS CHURCH

Why will our Lord and Saviour allow a lock down of nearly two months and still be counting on Nigeria and more than that in several Christian nations to affect His church globally not minding that it is adversely affecting our worship unto Him?  Why is the global pandemic affecting Ministers of God and even killing a great percentage of them globally despite all the anointing we profess to carry?  Why has it actually defied all scientific and medical solutions despite the claims by many that certain drugs or methods can cure it?  I think by the grace and mercy of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, I have been given an unction and a direction to answer this questions and many more which may be bothering too many of us.  I am not claiming to be a prophet of this end time like many have falsely claimed, I am only an apostle of God called out by God, trained and sent out to also raise disciples of our Lord Jesus in the Bible Institute He has placed under me. So instead of giving out this message to our students only, the Lord said, “it is for all in His church worldwide”.  I know I will be called names because I want to spoil businesses for many of my colleagues in the Lord’s vineyard.  Some will say I am a heretic while some will warn their ministers and congregation to avoid me.  This is why I am not writing all these years but now, I am ready for their bombardments.  Now let’s face the truth as it is:  this pandemic is from God and not China and directed to warn Christians all over the world about the impending danger looming in the spirit realm, the preparation of God’s release of the latter rain upon His disciples who are trained as His army to go round the world and preach the true gospel of the kingdom within forty days and forty nights before the Antichrist arrives.  To show believers all over the world that we are deceiving ourselves and also deceiving the unbelieving world that they do not have regard again for our so-called gospel and the God we profess to serve.  To also show us what God calls true worship and not what we gather every Sundays or Saturdays for some that meet on Saturdays or Wednesdays and Thursdays mid-week service, to do all in the name of worshipping God.  Why was China used?  It is because China as a nation has never believed in God talkless of our Lord Jesus and so she is more than ready to be a tool in the hand of the enemy.  They are coming with more evils that will be more devastating globally than this.  Infact they are the ones being used to prepare the weapons the antichrist will use to rule and destroy the world.  But they can never be super-power or produce the antichrist, no far be it.  The man of sin is coming from Middle East precisely Israel, I will write about him when I am done with this and use the scriptures to trace his roots.  Now let’s hear from the Lord:-

“Hear this word that the Lord hath spoken against you, O children of Israel (i.e. the church, but if it is written to Jacob then it is the physical Israel), against the whole family which I brought up from the land of Egypt (i.e. separated or called out of the world), you only have I known of all the families of the earth:  therefore I will punish you for all your iniquities.  Can two walk together, except they be agreed?  Will a lion roar in the forest, when he hath no prey?  Will a young lion cry out of his den, if he have taken nothing?  Can a bird fall in a snare upon the earth, where no gin is for him?  Shall one take up a snare from the earth, and have taken nothing at all?  Shall a trumpet be blown in the city, and the people not be afraid?  Shall there be evil in a city and the Lord hath not done it?  Surely the Lord will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets.  The lion hath roared who will not fear?  The Lord God hath spoken, who can but prophesy?  Publish in the palaces at Ashdod, and in the palaces in the land of Egypt, and say assembly yourselves upon the mountains of Samaria and behold the great tumults in the midst thereof, and the oppressed in the midst thereof.  For they know not to do right, saith the Lord, who store up violence and robbery in their palaces (churches).  Therefore thus saith the Lord God, an adversary there shall be even round about the land, and he shall bring down thy strength from thee, and thy palaces (churches) shall be spoiled” (Amos 3: 1-11).  Any good Christian or right thinking person that reads this place, will see clearly that God is saying there can’t be any evil in the city or land or the world and He has not done it or the One doing it.  In essence, He brings that evil as the last option to warn His people to change before His wrath falls on them.  He can go the extra mile to cause His people to obey Him.  For example, He knows that the people of Jerusalem / Israel will be rebellious against His word after choosing and setting it apart, therefore He planted her (i.e Jerusalem/Israel) in the centre of the whole world and surrounded them with enemies to act as their checks and balances (Ezek 5 v 5).  And so anytime, they defy all warnings to live aright, He will bring against them the sword of men using these countries and nations around to torment them.  This is what the Muslims and Communist nations like China and North Korea are doing for Him where Christians worldwide are.  Some will quickly ask me, “if this is a warning to believers, why is it killing unbelievers in their thousands or even millions if the recent data of the number it killed in Wuhan China is anything to go by?”  The answer can be found in the book of Revelation about what will happen when antichrist mounts the throne.  “And the serpent cast out of his mouth water as a flood after the woman that he might cause her to be carried away of the flood.  And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed up the flood which the dragon cast out of his mouth” (Rev. 12: 15-16).  This is the bigger or major problem the so-called church will go through as soon as the “man-child” is caught up to the throne of God.  The woman here is the church for those that say and believe that the church will not meet antichrist, and “water as a flood after the woman” refers to decrees, laws and statements antichrist will give or make for the main lock down with death sentence or life imprisonment following defaulters, to stop worship or preaching of the gospel all over the world, targeted at the woman (i.e. the church) but the earth (i.e. the entire world will feel the impact of the initial tribulation or lock down before the great tribulation).  And here the Lord God said, “For thus saith the Lord of hosts; yet once, it is a little while, and I will shake heavens (i.e. believers walking in the spirit),   and the earth (believers walking in the flesh), and the sea (i.e. nations of the world) and the dry land (unbelievers); And I will shake all nations (vessels), and the desire of all nations (vessels) shall come and I will fill this house (His end time church) with glory, saith the Lord of hosts. The glory of this latter house (End-time church) shall be greater than of the former, saith the Lord of hosts, and in this place (End-time church) will I give peace saith the Lord” (Haggai 2: 6-7, 9).  Therefore this Covid-19 is God in action and using it to shake every creature.  I could see stubborn kings (i.e. Presidents) of nations with their citizens bowing down to repent before the Lord and asking for mercy and forgiveness.  This is awesome and still proving to humanity that He still owns heaven and earth and all that are in them.  But it is still the beginning of His shaking until His Army manifests with great anointing no one has seen before.       And this brings me to the main reason of putting this powerful exposition in writing.

WHO WILL BE CAUGHT UP? THE CHURCH OR THE MAN-CHILD COMPANY?

This is the most controversial message or question that has kept Christendom and the entire world on their toes after the ascension of Christ.  Even the early Apostles had a feeling of it and were thrown aback when towards the end of their ministries as they learnt the truth about it.  First of all, I did not use rapture that the world and the Christendom are familiar with, but decided to use what my Saviour used so as to clear any doubt.  There are so many schools of thought over this controversy about whether the church will be raptured before the coming of the antichrist or during the great tribulation or after the reign of antichrist.  These arguments have not done the Christian fold any good rather it has continued to reduce the standard of teachings and lifestyle the Christian family is preaching and living believing that if we are to be raptured before the antichrist, then we might not see these horrible things that are coming upon the earth.  While others conclude that if we are seeing antichrist, why denying themselves the pleasures of life now? It is better to enjoy ourselves now so that when he comes we can return to faith and be serious. Hmmm!  These insinuations are very frightening and are poised to send so many who started well but have back-slided into the lake of burning fire and brimstone.

THE MAN CHILD WILL BE CAUGHT UP OR RAPTURED AS THE WORLD PROCLAIM IT AND NOT THE CHURCH.

This will make the fathers that be all over the world and so many deceiving rabbis to attack me because I am trying to turn what they believed and preached upside down and make them look as deceivers to their congregation and stop their means of livelihood.  One great deception Satan and many ministers of God or better still the Christian fold are deeply buried in, is that God will manage what He has and use believers that are available so as to actualize His plans on earth because we all have come short of His glory.  They are right but have they asked or sought His face to see how to qualify for His selection?  This man-child company form the church in the spirit or better still in Heaven as they came out of the woman (i.e. the church on earth which has no single power to face the devil).  Before I go further to expound who this man-child company or the overcomers are, let me explain few things. The true church of God went spiritual or underground in April 1990 all over the world. God began to separate many who were ready to obey Him from religious legalism unto Himself as His special possession and started to train them.  And He is rounding off the training and getting them ready to preach the gospel of the kingdom or gospel of judgment before the rise of the antichrist.

God created seven (7) days in a week, but He took possession of one (1) day and sanctified it, meaning He separated one day, dedicated or consecrated it unto Himself and made it holy because of His divine nature that is Holiness.  It does not mean that the other six (6) days were evil after all He said that He saw that all things He created were good.  In like manner, Mary the mother of Jesus was highly favoured and blessed among many women to give birth to Jesus through the conception of the Holy Ghost but after Him, she conceived and bare other children for Joseph and not for the Holy Ghost.  And so those other children of Mary and Joseph were still loved by Jesus because they are His siblings despite the fact that they never received both the lifestyle and teachings of Jesus and were mocking Him until after He died and resurrected then they believed His teachings and joined His company.  Can you see the picture of the man-child company now, their lifestyle and teachings are abhorred by even their siblings of the same mother like they did to Jesus, but after they are caught up, the church on earth will sit up and move into the wilderness (i.e. serious separation) to be purified and perfected to be able to bear the fierce anger of antichrist turned Satan and make it after.  Wao! We are going somewhere as we want to see clearly the man-child company as pronounced by John the divine after the resurrected and glorified Lord Jesus brought him to the throne room:

“And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars:  And she being with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered.  And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns and seven crowns upon his heads.  And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered for to devour her child as soon as it was born.  And she brought forth a  man child (or overcomers) who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron, (i.e. irresistible strength of the Holy Spirit) and her child was caught up (or raptured) unto God, and to his throne.  And the woman (i.e. the church has now returned back to be joined by a large majority of those on earth waiting for rapture but have been left behind) fled into the wilderness (i.e. went into a forceful lock down or separation because the antichrist has appeared on the stage.  This will be termed, “Exit the lion; enter the dragon”), where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there for a thousand two hundred and threescore days” (i.e. 3½ years) (Rev. 12:1-6).  And here we go with the interpretation:  A great wonder in Heaven (i.e. 3rd Heaven where the church of the first born as written in Heb. 12: 22-24 are being trained by the Holy Ghost before the Lord Himself because of the importance of this Man Child Company or overcomers).  The Man child this woman is carrying in her womb has the symbol of the sun which represents the redeemed men disciples like the Sun of Righteousness and also the moon that are under the feet  representing subdued not through war but through submission (i.e. submissive and redeemed women who are disciples).  In essence the Man Child will be full of redeemed and glorified men and women disciples of God who truly followed the leading of the spirit of God whithersoever He goeth.   Then upon the head of the woman is a crown of twelve stars.  ‘Twelve” represents the number for “Divine Power or Authority”, while “stars represents spirits or angels or special messengers” and “crown represents kingship”.  So this Man Child will possess the Divine Power or authority to be kings or rulers that will rule with Christ.  They are to throw Satan and his cohorts down to this earth and take over from him, and so he does not want them to be born.  The second wonder in heaven is the second heaven where Satan is gathering his own armies and thereby occupying where the wedding of the Bride and the Bridegroom will take place.  The red dragon is Satan in his nature of war and the blood of the saints he has been drinking from ages.  Look at his features and see where and how he is coming; he has seven heads which represent the seven (7) hills of Vaticanus (i.e. where St Peter’s Basilica in Vatican city Rome is situated.  It is called a city on seven (7) hills), then ten (10) horns (i.e. the ten EU federated states that will be called United States of Europe or Europe League nation i.e. 666).  At inception they will operate democratic principles of governance but later, they will change to communism when antichrist changes to Satan.  How do I know one may ask? The image King Nebuchadnezzar saw in Daniel 2: 31-35 which was told and interpreted by Daniel as having an iron leg, but had part of the feet and toe iron and the other part of the feet and toe clay symbolizes that these ten EU federated states will operate with both democracy and communism.  The “seven crowns upon the heads”, shows seven kings or kingdoms representing seven notable kings or Emperors that will rule or have ruled and represented Satan in all these ages.  But Satan will gather their spirits together with other principalities, powers, rulers of darkness of this world and spiritual wickedness in high places to help him stop the manifestation of this Man Child Company.  But as soon as the woman (i.e. church written in heaven) gives birth to this man-child, the child will be caught up or better still raptured to heaven and the church being empty now and without strength will be joined by many of the members of the larger Pentecostalism left behind globally to start another conception of other children and the antichrist will teach them the difference between June and July.  She will fly into the wilderness or better still have the main lock down of 42 months or 3 ½ years.  This is awesome I believe, so let us sit up and know that God is using the lock down all over the world now to warn us.

Before I explain the difference between the Man-child, the church and also to show the large majority of our so-called church to sit up for God is no respecter of any man, let’s first show the biblical qualification for this Man-Child.

QUALIFICATION FOR BEING IN THE MAN-CHILD COMPANY

When Eve caused Adam to sin, God came down and placed a curse first on Satan, then the woman and finally on Adam.  And so in Gen. 3:15-16; God said, “And I will put enmity between thee (Satan) and the woman, (the church) and between thy seed (the antichrist) and her seed; (the Lord Jesus first, and later the Man-Child) it shall bruise thy head and thou shalt bruise his heel (those that follow after).  Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and they conception: in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee”.  On this note, God gave three clear conditions that will make the Man-Child who will come out of the woman or the church here and who has fallen short of His glory to be able to overcome the devil.  The first is that she will afflict her soul in fasting with spiritual weapons of prayer like groaning, travailing, weeping, wailing, howling, roaring and other form of special prayers in your closet as often as possible to birth into the kingdom spiritual or kingdom children.

The second is that the desire of this group will be unto the Lord Jesus as their Husband which in the scripture is simply “the just shall live by faith”. And this means that the righteous shall live by hearing, believing, confessing and acting on the  Word.  If you are not ready to believe, confess and obey the word of God no matter the way it is hurting you, forget about this company and overcoming the devil, the Lord will also be their sustenance.  The third one is “and he shall rule over thee”.  This simply means that the Lord Jesus through the channel of Authority He set up on earth shall rule over you. This is one area Satan has deceived and also continued to deceive large-majority of believers especially from the Western world that there is nothing like submission unto man.  Please I am on my knees begging such people to help themselves now by running and placing themselves under submission even if you are a General Overseer or Superintendent.  If you don’t do that, be rest assured that you are waiting for the antichrist to come and show you how to submit to authority.  The Lord said in many places in the scripture, “……. In the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established” (Matt. 18:16; Num. 35:30; Deut. 17:6; Deut 19: 15; Jn. 8:17; Heb. 10:28; 1 Jn 5: 7-10).  Let me explain this statement for doubting Thomas.  The two or three witnesses the scripture is talking about are the law represented by Moses’ writings in Old Testament, Joshua, Kings, Chronicles, etc then the prophets personified in Elijah, so all the prophetic messages from the major and minor prophets are in them; and finally, Grace and the ministers under grace and that is the gospels of our Lord Jesus and the epistles of his New Testament disciples. So if you are in doubt of any part of the word of God; tell the person to prove it through two or three witnesses.  If you continue to doubt, look at what God said through Apostle Paul; “for what if some did not believe? Shall their unbelief make the faith of God without effect?  God forbid: yea, let God be true, but every man a liar, as it is written that thou mightest be justified in thy sayings; and mightest overcome when thou art judged (Rom. 3: 3-4). Paul by the leading of the Lord said, what if some stubborn Christians refuse to accept the truth, shall their unbelief nullify the word of God?  And he answered, God forbid! Rather let us all become liars but let the word of God become truth, so that we may be justified when we quote His word.  So if you don’t believe me after showing you submission from the law, let me show you from the other two witnesses to make all three witnesses.  When this remaining Man-child company on earth that will form the Army of God will begin the preaching of the gospel of the kingdom for forty days and forty nights as it was in the days of Noah; we need to make reference to the writings of Joel in chapter 2: 4-8; “The appearance of them is as the appearance of horses, and as horsemen, so shall they run.  Like the noise of chariots on the tops of mountains shall they leap, like the noise of a flame of fire that devoureth the stubble, as a strong people set in battle array.  Before their face the people shall be much pained: all faces shall gather blackness (this is as a result of the level of truth they will tell all even if you are the President of the most feared nation in the world or where believers are butchered like animals, they will tell such people to their faces the judgment of God coming upon them).  They shall run like mighty men, they shall climb the wall like men of war, and they shall march everyone on his ways, and they shall not break their ranks (i.e. this is talking about positions or grades like in the military where a Lt. Colonel for an example cannot break rank and disobey the orders of a Colonel or Brigadier General).  Neither shall one thrust (rebel or attack) another, they shall walk everyone in his path (offices like Pastors will not go and operate as evangelists or this one where everyone now wants Apostle or Prophet).  You can only operate in the ministry office you are called.  This is the height of submission the Man child company will walk in, and when they fall upon the sword, they shall not be wounded.  This shows that no weapon can penetrate their bodies again because they are now immortal after receiving the latter rain. The second scriptural witness has been noted from the minor prophet.  The third has so many and I will quote one and refer any to others.  Paul by the leading of the Spirit had this to tell the church ”Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit yourselves: for they watch for your souls, as they that must give account, that they may do it with joy, and not with grief, for this is unprofitable for you.  (Heb. 13:17).  Another one is like this from Paul, “Remember them which have the rule over you, who have spoken unto you the word of God, whose faith  follow, considering the end o their conversation (lifestyle) (Heb. 13:7).  Peter the Apostle of circumcision had this to say, “likewise, ye younger, submit yourselves unto the elder.   Yea, all of you be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud and giveth grace to the humble” (1 Peter 5: 5).  There are so many other areas but let me move on with other things.  In continuation of unveiling this Man-child company, let us look at their qualification again from the prophets.  Prophet Isaiah described both the state of the Christian family globally in this end time popularly called the church on earth and the Man-child company referred as the church of the first born written in Heaven in Hebrews.  “And in that day seven women shall take hold of one man saying, we will eat our own bread, and wear our own apparel, only let us be called by thy name, to take away our reproach.  In that day shall the branch of the Lord be beautified and glorious, and the fruit of the earth shall be excellent and comely for them that are escaped of Israel” (Isa. 4: 1-2).  We are not just in the dispensation that Isaiah was talking about, but we are right there with just extremely few remaining years for everything to come to an end.  And so Isaiah said that now we have reached the end, “seven women” which means all the churches according to Rev. Chapters two and 3 representing all the Christian religious organization in this dispensation of grace.  Why is it so?  It is because seven is the number for perfection, completeness or totality and so this means all denominations, ministries and what other name we like to answer shall take hold of “one man”  i.e. the Lord Jesus), “we will eat our own bread”,  meaning we will believe and preach our own doctrine, “and wear our own apparel”  which means walk in our own righteousness which is like filthy rags, “only let us be called by thy name”  meaning only allow us to use your name (i.e. the name of Jesus to perform miracles so that people will not turn their backs on us), “to take away our reproach”,  and this is totally against bearing His reproaches He has called on the Man-child company to come out of the camp and bear His reproaches in Heb. 13:13-14 so as to be like Him.  God is going right and the church on earth is going left.  The “branch of the Lord” there is talking about the Army of God and the “fruit of the earth” is the remnants of this Man child that remain on earth, but look at what Isaiah said, “for them to be beautiful, glorious, excellent and comely, they must escape from Israel or better still separate from religious legalism or denominational barrier unto the Lord and worship Him in spirit and in truth for the Father seeketh such to worship Him. So the Company of the Man-child are those that will agree to separate unto the Lord.  If you go further and read vs 3-5 of that Isaiah 4, you will see how He will treat the Man-child company.  In Romans chapter 8, Paul talked about the Man-child company when he clearly called them the “Sons of God” stressing that they are the ones the whole creation is waiting for as their manifestation will bring the end of the curse all creation is going through.  Look at them coming out of their separation or wilderness to preach the main gospel of the kingdom with power and authority from the songs of Solomon; “who is this that cometh out of the wilderness (i.e. separation or hiding place) like pillars of smoke, perfumed with myrrh and frankincense, with all powders of the merchant? (Songs of Solomon 3:6).

“Thou art all fair, my love; there is no spot in thee” (songs of Solomon 4: 7)

“Thou art beautiful, o my love, as Tirzah, comely as Jerusalem, terrible as an army with banners” (Songs of Solomon 6: 4)

“Who is she that looketh forth as the morning, fair as the moon (the woman disciples), clear as the sun (the men disciples), and terrible as an army with banners?” (Songs of Solomon 6: 10).

“Who is this that cometh up from the wilderness, leaning upon her beloved? I raised thee up under the apple tree, there thy mother brought thee forth: there she brought thee forth that bare thee” (Songs of Sol. 8:5).

The man child was born and raised by the Holy spirit not in any denominational barrier or religious legalism but in the wilderness and under an apple tree.  At least the scriptures are being unveiled so nobody will say it is my own interpretation.  Again Paul by the leading of the Lord said, “Now the Lord is that spirit, and where the spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty”.  (2 Cor. 3: 17).  This scripture has many a time been misinterpreted by many of us in the Lord’s vineyard.  The real interpretation is if the spirit of God is in you or operating in your church or fellowship, you must not cage Him with your activities or programs or personal agenda, but give Him the liberty or free access to operate or direct you or your program the way He likes.  After all He is the Lord and must operate as the Lord not as a servant or a visitor.  This is why the Lord spoke again through Paul in his second epistle to Thessalonians, “for the mystery of iniquity doth already work; only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way” (2 Thess. 1: 7).  This place is another confusing factor but if you understand what Paul said in 2  Cor. 3: 17 about liberty of the spirit, you will understand this place.  The word “letteth” according to Chambers 21st century Dictionary is to allow, permit or cause to do something, to give the use of.  While “letter” is a continual process of let, and so it is not the Holy Spirit as many thought that letteth or will or allow or permit, or cause the mystery of iniquity that is already working to continue to work.  But the Holy Spirit is involved as this is talking about the company of the Man-child who will allow, permit, give access to the Holy Spirit to use their vessels to achieve God’s purpose on earth, until they are taken out of the way by the Holy Spirit through being caught up to the throne or be raptured as the world choose to call it.  The company of the Man-child can also be identified with Paul’s epistle to the church on earth through the Hebrews as he said, “for the bodies of those beasts, whose blood is brought into the sanctuary by the high priest for sin,  are burned without the camp (outside the church)  wherefore Jesus also, that he might  sanctify the people with his own blood, suffered without the gate (outside Jerusalem representing outside the church), let us go forth therefore unto him without the camp (outside the church), bearing his reproach.  For here have we no continuing city, (denomination or church) but we seek one to come” (Heb, 13: 11-14).  This is what Jesus requires us as the church on earth to do so that we can bear His reproach and He will sanctify us and make us citizens of  the coming kingdom, but the present church refuse to come and meet Him outside the world organized religious system preferring according to Isaiah 4: 1-2, to preach our own doctrine, walk in our own righteousness and then use His name to work miracles and do other things that are beneficial to us so as to take away our reproach instead of bearing His reproach that He requires for us to be sanctified.  But the Man-child company agreed to do it and availed themselves to the Holy spirit for separation from religious legalism, consecrating themselves unto Him, bearing His reproach and being sanctified for the Master’s use. And they will be rewarded with the liquid fire. (i.e. baptism of fire or latter rain) which will make them immortal thereby perfecting any remaining imperfection as they come out of the wilderness with great power and authority to preach the gospel of the kingdom/judgment for forty days and forty nights after which they will be caught up and antichrist will appear on the stage to punish the woman (i.e. the church) that gave birth to the Man-child, and then the main lock down of 42 months or three and half years targeted at the church worldwide will be declared.  Two more things the Man-child company will enjoy are:

  1. “thus saith the Lord of hosts; in those days it shall come to pass, that ten (10)  men shall take hold out of all languages of the nations even shall take hold of the skirt of him that is a Jew (a true worshipper who has separated himself/herself unto the Lord or better still the Man-child company), saying, we will go with you, for we have heard that God is with you” (Zech 8:25).  The Man-child company doesn’t need any advertisement or prolonged evangelism or the so-called witnessing before people will recognize them when they receive power and come out of their hiding places.  The anointing will make the difference.  People will drop their billions of dollars, Euros, pounds, and the world accepted monies at their feet begging them to take, but they have no need of all those things.  Everyone’s attention is focused on how to quickly harvest the souls that were fully ripe but with nobody to harvest them in the past.
  2. If they are moving on or decide to rest for a whole at any place, the visible cloud of the Lord will cover their front and back in the day and a pillar of fire will do the same for them in the night for a defence from any attack (Ref. Isa. 4:5).  It will be so glorious that people will not be told a second time that this is what they are waiting for.  The world and governments of the world will term them as “UFO” (i.e. unidentified foreign objects), and roll out their greatest weapons against them, but that will be at their peril because nothing can penetrate their immortal bodies.  In rounding off the mystery about this Man-child company, let us see two places in the book of Revelation:- “And I looked, and, lo, a lamb stood on the Mount Zion (heavenly Jerusalem), and with him an hundred forty and four thousand, having his Father’s name (the word of God) written in that foreheads (minds)……… and they sung as it were a new song before the throne, and before the four beasts, and the elders: and no man could learn that song but the hundred and forty and four thousand, which were redeemed from the earth.  These are they which were not defiled women (churches and all the religious organizations and legalism governing the world); for they are virgins.  These are they which follow the lamb represented by the Holy Spirit whithersoever he goeth.  These were redeemed from among men (and not from Israel), being the first fruits unto God and to the lamb.  And in their mouth was found no guile: for they are without fault before the throne of God (Rev. 14:1,3-5).  This is another hard nut for many ministers to unravel.  A lot said they are those Jewish saints that will be redeemed as mentioned in Rev. Chapter 7, but it is a lie.  The Jewish saints mentioned in chapter 7 were redeemed from the 12 tribes of Israel and neither from the earth nor from among men.  They were again mentioned in chapter 15 as singing the victory songs of Moses after God’s over-running of Pharaoh and his armies for them.  These were selected by God from among the Man-child company as the leaders or the kings of Nations that will survive and priests of those nations.  They are the first fruits unto God and the lamb but don’t forget there are other fruits which the church left behind will fill up.  They were separated from every part of religious legalism that has gripped the church on earth.  They followed the Holy Ghost wherever He leads them and were not rebellious to the Heavenly voice.  They are without fault before the throne because the blood of Jesus was readily available to atone and cleanse their sins.  Truly like Jesus, the prince of this world cometh and had nothing in them.  Why? This is because they totally separated from his religious system, traditions of men that transgress  the word of God and other sorts of evil Satan set up to distract men from serving God in spirit and in truth.  I will not talk about the elders now because they have not been formed.  They too will be redeemed from every kindred, and tongue and people and nation if you look at Rev. Chapter 5 vs 8-9 and formed later after redemption and that is where I am begging God and striving to be among those to be selected with my family.  A great point to note here is that they will not be twenty four (24) in number, no far be it, because that is God’s idiomatic expression or way of using numbers to reveal heavenly things to His people.  The number “24” in God’s arithmetic of numbers is Priesthood.  To be called “Elders” means they are older in faith than the one hundred and forty-four that will be redeemed from Israel after the great tribulation.  Those from Israel are priests, while the twenty four that will sit round the throne of God in Heaven are high priests who will take over from the Holy Spirit who has been doing that job for the saints when Jesus ascended into Heaven, the spirit will go back to the Father after redemption.  And then finally for the Man-child in this teaching, after three and half years of resting, they will lead Michael and his angels and march into second heaven and throw Satan and his cohorts down to this earth.  Some say it is Michael that will lead them, but it is not biblical because Satan is arch-angel number one (1) and Michael is number two (2).  In God’s hierarchy the one under cannot usurp authority over the one above, that will be coup or mutiny in the armed forces.  The second point is that man was made to be greater than Satan, but Satan rebelled and subtly planned and executed a coup, overthrew man and has been punishing man for ages.  Now that Jesus our elder brother has restored man back to his former position, the man – child will be the ones that will command Michael and his angels to throw Satan and his cohorts out of second heaven down to this earth.  And so overcoming Satan in Rev. 12: 11 is not the angels because they don’t use the blood of Jesus as the blood is meant for redemption and they have no word of testimony.  But the Man-child was redeemed with the Blood of Jesus and they have great testimonies of what they passed through in the hand of the devil.

WHAT WILL BE THE HOPE OF THE CHURCH ON EARTH?

Why will the church that Jesus Christ came, died for, called out of the world, gave His spirit which keeps following them and manifesting their words with signs and wonders, be left behind for antichrist to vent his anger and frustration on?  Why will the Lord close His eyes and allow a man He called a cruel lord and a king of fierce countenance that understands dark sentences punish His beloved the way he is warning up to do?  What will make God call His church “sinful nation”?

These questions are frightening but they all have answers in the scriptures.  Let us see how God is calling on heaven and earth to come and bear Him witness of what we His church is doing unto Him as He spoke through Isaiah:  “Hear, O heavens (i.e. first, second and third heaven and all the inhabitants) and give ear, O earth: for the Lord hath spoken, I have nourished and brought up children, and they have rebelled against me.  The ox knoweth his owner, and the ass his master’s crib, but Israel (i.e. the church) doth not know, my people (i.e. children of God) doth not consider.  Ah sinful nation, a people  laden with iniquity, a seed of  evil doers, children that are corrupters:  they have forsaken the Lord, they have provoked the Holy One of Israel unto anger, they are gone away backward.  Why should ye be stricken anymore? (i.e. why should we allow the devil to continue to feast on us manipulating us into continuous sin?) ye will revolt more and more: (the more they increase, the more they revolt against God) The whole head is sick (the whole ministers of the gospel are spiritually sick) and the whole heart faint (the entire congregation are fainting spiritually).  From the sole of the foot even unto the head there is no soundness in it (i.e. from the least member of the church to all the General Overseers or head Pastors, there is no spiritual life):  but wounds, and bruises, and putrefying  sores (ill smelling sores); they have not been closed, neither bound up, neither mollified with ointment (the healing anointing has not touched them).  Your country is desolate (the entire Christendom is empty), your cities are burned with fire (your denominations, ministries and fellowship centres  are under severe persecutions), your land (your vessels), strangers (demons)  devour it in your presence, and it is desolate (empty), as overthrown by strangers (demons).  And the daughter of Zion, (i.e. the army of God) is left as a cottage in a vineyard (church), as a lodge (also a small house) in a garden of cucumbers as a besieged city (surrounded by demons).  Except the Lord of hosts had left unto us a very small remnant, we should have been as Sodom and we should have been like unto Gomorrah.  Hear the word of the Lord, ye rulers of Sodom (the church referred to as Sodom give ear unto the law of our God, ye people of Gomorrah (congregation) referred to as people of Gomorrah).  To what purpose is the multitude of your sacrifices unto me (i.e. prayers, praises and worship, thanksgiving, fasting, etc) saith the Lord.  I am full of the burnt offering of rams, and the fat of fed beasts; (i.e. all the sacrifices of thanksgiving, sowing of seed in many areas, launching, etc) and I delight not in the blood of bullocks or of lambs or of he-goats (i.e. all the seed offerings to appease God and cause Him to do what He abhors).  When ye come to appear before me, who hath required this at your hand, to tread my courts?  Bring no more oblations (worship songs) incense (our worship) is an abomination unto me, the new moons, and Sabbath (i.e. our festivities like weekly vigil, fasting and prayers, birthdays) the calling of assemblies (gathering for fellowship), I cannot away with; it is iniquity, even the solemn meeting (i.e.  in-gathering of the saints).  Your new moons and appointed feasts my soul hateth (i.e. Christmas, Good Fridays, Easter celebrations, valentine, New Year, etc).  They are a trouble unto me.  I am weary to bear them.  And when ye spread forth your hands, I will hide mine eyes from you, when ye make many prayers, I will not hear, your hands are full of blood (i.e. full of our own will) (Isaiah 1 vs 2-15).

The Lord did not hide anything from us and I believe that if anybody wants to tell himself/herself the gospel truth you will agree that this is definitely the state of the church on earth.  The Lord’s anger is so hot that He called heavens even Satan and his cohorts, and the entire earth to come and bear Him witness.  I am afraid ooooo because of God’s anger.  If man or another spirit is pursuing you, you run to God, but what will you do when God is the one pursuing you?  Too bad for us except there is going to be urgent radical changes in our lives individually and collectively.  God in the latter part of this chapter has this to say so as to remind us that it used to be better in our early days or years of Christianity than what is happening now.

“How is the faithful city become an harlot! (i.e. the church which was faithful at inception; is now a harlot).  It was full of judgment, (truth) righteousness lodged in it, but now murderers (i.e. haters and betrayers of their fellow brethren for gain or reward).  Thy silver is become dross (i.e. our salvation/redemption is become worthless), thy wine mixed with water (i.e. our spirits are mixed with falsehood).  Thy princes (ministers) are rebellious, and companions of thieves; every one loveth gifts, and followeth after rewards, they judge not the fatherless, neither doth the cause of the widow come unto them” (Isaiah 1:21-23).  Let any minister who is operating a denomination or a ministry that follows the same pattern of church as an organization, even those that pretend to operate church as an organism come out to say he/she or they are free from all that God has said here, and he/she will see how the judgment of God will begin to fall upon him/her and the congregation.  Yet in the midst of all this His anger and as a merciful God that He is, He said:

“Wash you, make you clean; put away the evil of your doings from before mine eyes, cease to do evil.  Learn to do well, seek judgment (the truth) relieve the oppressed, judge the fatherless, plead for the widow.  Come now, and let us reason together (with the word of God) saith the Lord; though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.

ON WHAT CONDITION IS THE LORD PROPOSING THESE THINGS?

He said, if ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land; But if refuse and rebel, ye shall be devoured with the sword (and this is what He is sending antichrist to come and do) for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it.  Therefore saith the Lord, the Lord of hosts, the mighty one of Israel, oh, I will ease me of mine adversaries (I will give relief to those that are obedient so that the adversaries will not hurt them) and avenge me of mine enemies (avenge any area they have already dealt with you).  And I will turn my hand upon thee and purely purge away thy dross and take away thy tin (worthless and false reverence or glory or praise). I will restore thy judges (i.e. apostles/prophets) as at the first, and thy counselors (pastors/teachers) as at the beginning, afterward thou shall be called, the city of righteousness, the faithful city.  Zion shall be redeemed with judgment and her converts with righteousness” (Isaiah 1:16-20, 24-27).  Tell me if any one of us is in God’s shoes and this kind of abominable wickedness is meted to him/her despite coming to die to save the people, will we consider giving such persons second chance?  But here God has given us more than second chance and we are loosing it if not have lost it by what the entire denominations, ministries, some house fellowships or better still church and other religious organizations are doing and telling the Lord in Isaiah Chapter 4:1-2;

“And in that day seven women (seven being the number for totality, perfection or completeness means all the churches and religious organizations that pretend to be worshipping God) shall take hold of one man (i.e. Lord Jesus), saying, we will eat our own bread (eat is to believe something spiritually and bread is food and the word of God is our spiritual food meaning, we will believe and teach our own message or doctrine), wear our own apparel (if it is a garment, it will be salvation) but wearing an apparel is like wearing a robe and the only robe  we know of is robe of righteousness, meaning walking in our righteousness which God described in Isaiah 64:6 as a filthy rag), only let us be called by thy name, to take away our reproach (i.e. only allow us to answer and use the name of Jesus to work miracles and do other vital things so that people will believe we are from you and it will remove our reproach instead of bearing His reproach”.  This is very serious and painful to the Lord our God to see all our shortcomings, we turned round to give Him our own conditions and maintained that we want to do our own things in our own way.  And not only that, we come to the book of Revelation 3: 14-20 and begin to boost to the same God that we are doing very well:

“And unto the angel (messenger) of the church of the Laodiceans write; these things saith the Amen (i.e. so be it), the faithful and true witness (one like John the Baptist who said exactly what the scripture had earlier spoken about him), the beginning of the creation of God (i.e. Grace and Truth).  I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot, I would thou wert cold or hot.  So then because thou are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue (will vomit or cast) you out of my mouth.  Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods (i.e. our population or members are increasing, our branches have increased so much globally, our home fellowships have increased, our bank accounts have increased tremendously), and have need of nothing, and knowest not that thou are wretched, and miserable, and poor (lacking the knowledge of present truth) and blind (spiritually blind that they don’t know they are out of the way) and naked (living their lives in sin).  I counsel thee (another appeal from the Lord so as not to destroy us) to buy of me gold tried in the fire (i.e. God’s  kind of faith gotten  through trials and tribulation and absolute resolve to bear His reproaches), that thou mayest be rich (in the word of God and things of the spirit), and white raiment (which will make you to walk in righteousness) that the shame of thy nakedness (sin) do not appear, and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve (this is medicine meant for the treatment of the eyes which is simply the anointing or leading of the Holy Spirit so that we can see clearly) that thou mayest see.  As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten, be zealous therefore and repent.  Behold I stand at the door (of our hearts) and knock. If any man (no more groups or congregation that keep  sinning as they are multiplying but individuals just like He called Abraham with his wife Sarah alone) hear my voice, and open the door (of his/her heart), I will come in to him and will sup fellowship) with him and he with me.  This scripture has again showed us the state of this last church age in this dispensation of grace, full of pride, arrogance, deception, lies, worldliness by measuring our relationship with God with our increase in earthly possession that has no spiritual value.  I need to explain this place a little bit.  Laodicean city was very good in medical field as they specialized in eye and ear treatment.  They were also very good in manufacturing of textile materials.  It was known as a great banking and financial centre like the United States of America.  The city had so many rich people full of themselves that they believe they don’t need God as their wealth can do everything for them just like the Americans of today.  They had so many things to give out like clothes etc, just like the Americans have so many things like new clothes, second hand ones, cars, electronics, etc to give out.  And so all the entreaties from Apostle Paul to Bishop Archippus in Colossians 4: 16-17 who was their leader fell on deaf ears.  Spiritually Laodicea symbolizes lukewarmness, self deception, human right or peoples’ right better still democracy.  Everybody knows his/her right and is not ready to drop it and obey constituted authority.  The people’s right must be sort first and be obeyed before knowing what God is saying.  This is the picture of American citizens and the Christendom of today because of democracy.  Any church that is run like this which is democracy is on her way to calamity because they are already in deception and moving to serious anarchy.  And this is how antichrist will come in first, but later as Satan introduces communism.  God comes second or even last, this is absolute madness, but that is where the church is today and once you fail to adopt this deceptive system prevalent today in the body of Christ, many will leave to go and start their own and continue to multiply rebellion.  Unlike the people of Laodicea that Paul was supervising and warning, this church age is being supervised and warned by the Holy Ghost and He is sending the seventh messenger of this church who will have the characteristics of “Amen, meaning so be it”, therefore he will believe and preach the word of God as it is.  As the “faithful and true witness”, he will be faithful to the Lord that called him unto the end and also bear the witness of truth.  This means he can only say what the scripture says about him and will neither add nor subtract. “Beginning of the creation of God” symbolizes Grace, for God began creation” with grace and grace produces truth, it doesn’t demand truth.  It is the law that makes demand, and so he will be full of grace and also walking under grace in order to produce truth.  So what follows are the messages he will be giving this church age.  But will all these make this church age to repent and turn a new leaf, no far be it, so God now prepared them for antichrist to do the talking when he comes and many for hell and destruction.  Let me make this reference from Isaiah the prophet about the church of God being dumped in hell for choosing to do our own  will, preaching our own gospel and following after our own righteousness as against doing His will and preaching the truth He gave this church.  Funny enough, despite all the rebellion and deception we the church are going through this is the church age God has given more revelations than the rest because this is the end and we have to know and see all things happen before many of us live.  God spoke through Isaiah and said, “Now will I sing to my well beloved a song of my beloved touching his vineyard (church).  My well beloved (the Lord Jesus) hath a vineyard (church) in a very fruitful hill (Mount Zion in Heaven).  And he fenced it, and gathered out the stones thereof, and planted it with the choicest vine (very serious believers) and built a tower (a tabernacle) in the midst of it, and also made a winepress (Holy Spirit) therein; and he looked that it should bring forth grapes (submissive believers) and it brought forth wild grapes (rebellists).  And now, O inhabitants of Jerusalem, and men of Judah, judge, I pray you, betwixt me and my vineyard (church).  What could have been done more to my vineyard, that I have not done in it?  Wherefore, when I looked that it should bring forth grapes (submissive and serious minded believers), brought it forth wild grapes (rebellious and worldly mind Christians).  And now go to, I will tell you what I will do to my vineyard.  I will take away the hedge (defence, which is their faith in the Lord) thereof, and it shall be eaten up, (and they will move into serious doubt and unbelief) and break down the wall thereof (love which is obedience to the word of God) and it shall be trodden down.  And I will lay it waste, it shall not be pruned, nor digged (i.e. can’t he supervised or rebuked for correction, but there shall come up briers and thorns (i.e. wild animals in form of believers, uncultured, unsubmissive and mannerless human beings as believers). I will also command the clouds that they rain no rain upon it (i.e. withhold the anointing from flowing in all the things believers are doing.  This is why there are so much fake  miracles as many ministers are getting fake power for miracles from native doctors and occult men and women, while some do arrange miracles with people who are not sick but are paid to claim they were sick and have been healed).  For the vineyard of the Lord of hosts is the house of Israel (i.e. children of God) and the men of Judah (i.e. his ordained ministers) his pleasant plant: and he looked for judgment (truth) but behold oppression, for righteousness, but behold a cry.  Woe unto them that join house to house (fellowship), that lay field to field (crusades and evangelism), till there be no place that they may be placed alone in the midst of the earth”.  (Isa. 5: 1-8).

With the current state of the church globally, God is using this global lock down to teach the church that what He demands from her now is to come to Him alone and no more in groups or the kind of multitudes we witness that sit in one large stadium on Sundays all in the name of worshipping Him.  This is what He said in Rev. 3 vs. 20 that He is knocking at the door of any individual heart not group, because no group will all like to obey, if such person or persons hear His voice and opens his/her heart, He will come in to fellowship with such an one.  A family of husband, wife, children (not yet married and living together), maids and servants living together are one.  This is why He said in Matt. 18: 20, “for where two or three are gathered in my name, there am I in the midst of them”.  Every part of the word of God (the ministers) have hidden from the knowledge of the congregation, God will unveil it to those hungry and thirsty souls who are looking or seeking to know the truth.  This is why I don’t hide any truth God reveals to me whether you are for me or against me so that on the judgment day, the truth you heard will judge you.  This is what He told Abraham He said we should look unto in Isaiah 51:1-2, “Hearken (listen) to me ye that follow after righteousness, ye that seek the Lord: look unto the rock (Christ) whence ye are  hewn, and to hole of the pit (hell or the world system) whence ye are digged.  Look unto Abraham your father, and unto Sarah that bare you, for I called him alone, and blessed him, and increased him.  If  we are really looking unto Abraham we should go to Him alone so as to have a direct and personal relationship with Him but remember Joel 2, don’t break your rank of submission.  It is very important if you must have a relationship with God.  Nobody is a lone ranger in this race except you want to be cast out and another takes your position and crown.  Otherwise see what Jesus told the church through the centurion.

“And when Jesus was entered into Capernaum, there came unto him a centurion, beseeching him, and saying, Lord my servant lieth at home sick of the palsy, grievously tormented. And Jesus saith unto him; I will come and heal him.  The centurion answered and said, Lord, I am not worthy that thou shouldest come under my roof: but speak the word only, and my servant shall be healed.  For I am a man under authority, having soldiers under me, and I say to this man, go and he goeth, and to another, come and cometh, and to my servant, do this, and he doeth it.  When Jesus heard it, he marveled, and said to them that followed, verily I say unto you, I have not found so great faith,, no, not in Israel (church).  And I say unto you, that many (unbelievers) shall come from the east and west and shall sit down with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven.  But the children of the kingdom i.e. believers) shall be cast out into outer darkness:  there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth” (Matt. 8: 5-12).  This is one of the closest Jesus had come to making it clear the place submission to His authority channel has in this race.  Look at an unbelieving centurion or Roman soldier being under submission and having those under him too knowing that as Jesus is under God’s authority, and the demons attacking his servant also under Jesus, just asked Him to speak the word only and the demons will obey and leave tormenting his servant because there is no distance in the spirit.  Jesus was amazed and said He has not found such faith in His church, and for this reason of His church refusing to place themselves under submission, many will perish in hell including large majority of ministers of God, who believe that as General Overseers or Superintendents or Head Pastors they are above submitting to God through other men of God.  They are too big to be counseled or rebuked, the antichrist will do those things for God in their lives.  As I was talking about God using the lock down to teach the church what He requires at this time as we see the days winding up very fast.  And He is saying it is a time of individual or family worship and if we must gather together at all, it doesn’t have to be more than twenty (20).  I wonder who gave government this wisdom because this is biblical as twenty is number for redemption.  And only those that are ready for redemption should gather together.  Jesus gathered only twelve (12) and all efforts by the multitudes to be more than that, He kept dispersing them.  Even when he sent seventy (70) out two by two, as they wanted to settle with other disciples to form a bigger church, He preached hard truth and the seventy (70) left remaining only the twelve (12).  The same with the early Apostles, when they wanted to form a big church in Jerusalem, because of the serious converts, they already had, God sent persecution to them.  First Stephen was stoned to death and they all scattered and ran for their lives but the Apostles regrouped with their families and formed another church.  Then James was arrested and killed, Peter was arrested and imprisoned waiting to be beheaded after Easter, but God in His infinite mercy and wisdom knows he will still be needed to strengthen the brethren sent an angel to release him.  Before then the Apostles had scattered and the church went into hiding and began to carry the gospel to other areas.  This scenario is coming back soon after the lock down is lifted in a higher and more devastating way and many of the fathers that be in Christendom all over the world, who are seventy and above, and who have keep the faith for up to forty-five (45) to fifty (50) years and have been faithful to the Lord without breaking their holy vow unto the Lord, will be taken away by the Lord to rest.  Some ministers of God or those that spend time in reading the Bible will quickly ask me, “why did Paul say to the church through his epistle to the Hebrews, “not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is, but exhorting one another, and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching?  “ Yes he said it and I will not be the type that will try to avoid any question, our gathering or assembling together like Paul said is to exhort which can be done through phone conversation or through other online conversations made readily available now.  Otherwise some of us that have members that are not staying in the same city, State or Country, how do we counsel or exhort them?  Remember, he did not say assemble together to pray, praise, worship, do thanksgiving, break bread (i.e. holy communion), etc, which are the things done when fellowshipping together.  We can assemble, yet not fellowship together as you can see Paul presenting a better picture of this message in Eph. 5: 10-12, “proving what is acceptable unto the Lord. (And what is that thing acceptable unto the Lord). And have no fellowship with the unfruitful work of darkness, but rather reprove them.  For it is a shame even to speak of those things which are done of them in secret”.  Did you see that?  Paul was more explicit here for people that will abuse his clear message like it has always been abused from ages.  And the Lord said through him don’t fellowship once you are walking in darkness. Go and see hatred, bitterness, bickering, deceit, immorality, fraudulent practices, idolatry, witch-crafting, rebellion against constituted authority, embezzlements, etc that fill each fellowship.

Apostle John echoed Paul’s statement when he said, “that which we seen and heard declare we unto you, that ye also may have fellowship with us, and truly our fellowship is with the father, and with his son Jesus Christ.  This then is the message which we have heard of him; and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.  If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie and do not the truth:  But if we walk in the light as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another and the blood of Jesus Christ his son cleanseth us from all sin”. (John 1: 3, 5-7) The condition of having fellowship with one another is that all must be walking in the light which is not just difficult but almost impossible, for the Blood of Jesus is readily available to cleanse us as long as we are walking in the light.  Because we are supposed to break bread (Holy Communion) whenever we have such fellowships.  Then Isaiah the prophet summed it up here; “In mine ears said the Lord of hosts, of a truth many houses (churches) shall be desolate, even great and fair, without inhabitant (i.e. empty without producing one soul that will be kingdom citizen or that will make it). Yea, ten acres (i.e. 60 (sixty)  plots of land) of vineyard (church) shall yield one bath, and the seed of an  homer shall yield an ephah (just imagine a church built on a 60 plots of land is like a stadium that can take up to one hundred thousand (100,000) people, but the Lord said it can only manage to produce a soul, so what is the need of those magnificent building and gathering or assembling there other than the selfish interest of the Pastors).

Woe unto them that rise up early in the morning (morning cry), that they may follow strong drink; that continue until night, till wine (spirit) inflame them!  And the harp, and the viol, the tabret, and pipe, and wine are in their feasts, but they regard not the work of the Lord, neither consider the operation of his hands (i.e. all our musical equipments and other activities of the church are more important than the word of God than what the Holy Spirit is saying and doing.  Therefore my people (the church) are gone into captivity, because they have no knowledge; and their honourable men are famished (respected and powerful ministers are hungry or starving for truth), and their multitude dried up with thirst (and the congregation are thirsty to hear the truth but it is not available).  Therefore hell hath enlarged herself, and opened her mouth without measure, and their glory and their multitude and their pomp, and he that rejoiceth, shall descend unto it (i.e. now hell that is meant for Satan and his demon spirits has over-bloated to take in human beings and not just that, but believers worldwide)”. Isa 5: 9-14.  This is so painful and disheartening that large majority of believers including many ministers of the gospel will perish in hell for refusing to heed to the warnings of the Lord and His messengers sent to blow the trumpet.

ANTICHRIST SETS TO PERFECT OR JUDGE THE CHURCH HERE DURING HIS REIGN

I have talked about the man-child company and how they will be caught up to the throne of God or better still raptured to heaven, and who they are, now let me use the scripture to show how the antichrist will meet the church here, and how he will be the one that will speak the language the church will hear.  When the Man-child is caught up to the throne of God in Rev. 12:5, John the divine showed how the woman (the church that gave birth to the child) will run into a forced separation or total lock down for 1260 days which is 3 ½ years by God’s own calendar to begin her own discipleship training “And the woman (i.e. the church on earth and the remaining disciple that didn’t endure unto the end and are left behind) fled into the wilderness (separation or hiding or underground) where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her with these (with the truth she refused to hear all these years a thousand two hundred and threescore days” Rev. 12:6).  By the time she is being fed with the truth, the two witnesses of Rev. 11:3 (i.e. Elijah and Enoch, who were both taken away without seeing death and were preserved for this period will appear to guide the Jews who will be facing real judgment for rejecting the God –head).  Believers are conversant with the coming of Elijah but not Enoch because it was not mentioned in the scripture so they say.  But it is a lie because it is mentioned by Jude the brother of James the less in his short epistle; “And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these saying, behold the Lord cometh with ten thousand of his saints, to execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed, and of all their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against him” (Jude vs 14-15).  If you are a good student of the Bible or prophecy, you will know that there was no where it was recorded that Enoch had done this before.  But he is coming with the spirit and power of Moses to operate in Moses’ office just like John the Baptist before the first coming of Jesus came with the spirit and power of Elijah and operated in Elijah’s office to avoid Elijah appearing that time and being killed before fulfilling his calling.  Moses did his work the time he came, finished it, and went home, therefore can’t come again, “for it is appointed unto man once to die, after that comes judgment”.  Going back to the church and the antichrist, after three and half years of resting; the Man-child company will go to the other part of second heaven where Satan and his cohorts are based, accompanied by Michael and his angels to finish their last assignment by throwing Satan and his cohorts down to this earth before occupying that position to receive their rewards.  This is why Rev. 12 said that they overcame Satan and as this is done, see what he will do, “and when the dragon (Satan) saw that he was cast unto the earth, he persecuted the woman (the church) which brought forth the Man-child.  And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle that she might fly into the wilderness (i.e.  separation, or lock down or underground and thereby ending open and public worship, so what will happen to the stadiums many have built and are still building calling it a place of worship?  I will show you in the scripture when we reach there), into her place (that word “unto her place” signifies that the church was never in the place God prepared for her all these ages but have gone to conform or adapt to the world and can’t be nourished in the world and its system) where she is nourished for a time, (1 year), and times (2 years), and half a time (6 months), from the face of the serpent. (i.e. the first lock down will be one year, at the expiration of one year, it will be extended to two years, then after two years, there will be another extension for six months)” Rev. 12: 13-14).

Then as soon as the Man-child throws Satan and his cohorts down to the earth, he will enter into the antichrist like he did to Judas, who at that time will be lying in state from a gunshot wound received from a radical Islamic converted Christian who may have heard the preaching of the two witnesses. The gunshot will kill him truly, but Satan will give him life as soon as he enters into him and he will no more be human as he comes up to be Satan in human form.

“And I saw one of his heads (i.e. one of the renowned Emperors who is the antichrist) as it were wounded to death (he truly died from the injury before Satan gives him life), and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast” (Rev. 13:3).  Then going back to the message he will remove the lock down,  go straight and kill the two witnesses (Elijah and Enoch) who all this three and half years will be preaching and directing the Jews and the remnants of the church who are still ready to obey God, that the man in question is not the Messiah.

“And when they (i.e. the two witnesses) shall have finished their testimony (i.e. their mission on earth) the beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit (the man of sin or cruel lord or king of fierce countenance understanding dark sentences) shall make war against them, and kill them” (Rev. 11:7).  When he is done killing them, and lifting the lock down, he will go after both the Jews and the church.  To the Jews, he will abolish temple worshipping of God and in the place of God’s sanctuary, he will cause his own statue to be erected in fulfillment of the prophecies of Daniel and of our Lord Jesus in Daniel Chapter 9 and Matt. 24,

“And he shall confirm the covenant  (i.e. for peace and dividing of the land between Israel and Palestine, granting permission to the Jews to rebuild the temple and the worshipping of God) with many  (United Nations Security Council) for one week (seven years), and in the  midst of the week (in the middle of seven years i.e. after            3½ years) he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, (the sacrifice and  worship unto God to end) and for overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate (i.e. the antichrist)” Daniel 9:27.  This was how Daniel the prophet saw his own as revealed by the Lord to him.  But the Lord Himself just made reference to Daniel’s vision and interpretation to confirm it was real and from Him as He said, “when ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:)” Matt. 24:15.  And then to the church, he will place a ban on worshipping of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ and that to be replaced with worshipping him.  Knowing the church and their resistance when they are in their right senses, and having been fully restored back to faith within the three and half (3 ½) years of lockdown and separation unto Him; will reject the antichrist and his orders.  And he in turn will go after them and the Jews that will oppose what he is doing.

“And the serpent cast out of his mouth water as a flood (i.e laws, decrees, etc, and a punishment for disobeying these orders) after the woman (church), that he might cause her to be carried away of the flood.  And the earth (i.e. the entire world) helped the woman (church), and the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed up the flood which the dragon cast out of his mouth.  And the dragon was wroth with the woman (church) and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ” (Rev. 12: 15-17).  By now, doubting Thomases would have seen that the church will be met and dealt with by the antichrist just as he will also be punishing the Jews for rejecting the God head.  Let me clarify this God Head:  In the days of Samuel, Israel rejected God the Father who was judging them through Samuel saying they want a king.  In the days of Jesus they chose Barabbas a robber and gave Jesus to be crucified.  In the days of Stephen, they rejected the Holy Spirit that spoke through him and that completed the God-Head.  The sins of the church are many but one is very treacherous unto the Lord and that is refusing to abide at home with their husband and going to commit whoredom or immorality or fornication with the world and its system.  This is done by the church that the Lord died for, used His blood to redeem or called her out of the world to worship him in spirit and in truth, then she returned back to the world to conform or adapt to the world and its system and devising her own way of reaching out to God when the indignation of the Lord is upon her, and thinking that God cannot see or do anything because she is bearing the name of the Lord.  She continued to mingle with traditions of men that transgress the word of God.  They are not ready to hear the voice of the prophets God has been sending to warn them.  Part of the laws the antichrist will introduce that will cause large majority of believers worldwide to lose their faith finally and join the camp of the antichrist is the “mark”.  This “mark” has been so much misinterpreted and many say if they happen to be here, they will never receive it, and funny enough that is “money”.  He will introduce through UN a global currency that will be used by every soul upon the face of the earth.  That currency will have his image (picture), the name of the confederated nations of Europe which he will take the world dominance from (i.e. United States of Europe or Europe League Nation – 666) and will bear the trademark of Europe Common Market (i.e. another 666).  He will through the Vatican city unify the entire Christian  organizations under one name and that is United Church of Christ (666) with a logo and 666 emblem for identification like the face mask the world is wearing now for protection from Covid-19.  This will be headed by the Pope and to worship him (i.e. the antichrist).  This is what Pentecostalism will reject but when many see that without the money bearing 666, they can neither buy nor sell in essence can’t eat, and yet the government agencies or task force are after arresting and torturing them unto death, they will give up their faith and start betraying their brethren by leading those soldiers to where these brethren are hiding in bushes, villages, caves, etc. (Ref. Rev. 13:15-18.  The “forehead” mentioned is talking about one  conceiving in your mind to receive the money, so whether with left hand or mouth, once conceived in your mind to receive it, you are in at once).

My people the church will go through unimaginable horror that nobody will want to be left behind to witness this.  Even as I am writing these things, I am already having ghost pimples on me remembering how ISIS and other terrorist organizations in the world dis-member Christians or soldiers when they are caught.  This is a tip of iceberg about what those believers who hold on to the truth will go through during the reign of the antichrist.  Look another painful and frustrating message to the church. “And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High”. (Dan 7: 25).  And then see Rev. 13.

“And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them:  and power was given him over all the kindred and tongues, and nations”.  (Rev. 13:7).  I quoted these two scriptures from the prophets and Grace to show that despite all the horrors the church will go through during this period, the antichrist will still overcome them by killing them. And so they will pay the price of death with their own blood unlike the Man-child that will use the “Blood of the Lamb and the word of their testimony” to overcome.  It is the overcomers that will inherit all things, but as for those that Satan will overcome and who will pay with their blood before making it to heaven, I don’t know what their own reward will be.

In conclusion, I mentioned that part of the Man-child company who will be the army of God that will soon appear to start preaching the gospel of the kingdom for forty days and forty nights, went into hiding or separation in April 1990.  A renowned prophet of God had prophesied in October 1986 that the true church will be forced into hiding or separation forty-two (42) months from that time.  And I am aware that this manifested globally in April 1990 but many did not know because it is a spiritual thing.  By November of the same 1986, a renowned Apostle/Prophet of God S. G. Elton who was the father of Pentecostalism in Nigeria that trained many of these renowned men of God in Nigeria and lived in Ilesha, went to Government Technical College in Enugu on the invitation of Grace of God Mission to find according to him the leaders of this army. S. G. Elton came to Nigeria in 1936 through a prophecy in 1934 to raise the church in Nigeria and find the people God will use this end time.  He announced that his ministry finished in 1984 but he pleaded with the Lord to give him two years to strengthen the brethren before going home (i.e. going to be with the Lord) and that is what he is finally fulfilling.  He said further that maybe about five of you in this congregation will hear the voice of the Lord through his teachings and separate yourself unto Him, and God will take it from there.  After other messages, he said he has finished his mission on earth and will be going back to Ilesha to rest and wait on the Lord to take him home.  Then on the 14th of January, 1987, he slept quietly in the Lord.  This church that went underground or spiritual since April 1990, have stayed in hiding unknown to the church the world is conversant with for thirty (30) years and within the next ten (10) years she would have stayed for forty (40) years making it a generation.  And God does things in dispensations and generations, and I am having the feeling that we must look out for this remaining ten (10) years before this generation comes to an end for maybe the beginning and the fulfillment of most of the things.

I have talked about here or any other major move of God that will be global.  Jesus began His ministry when He was thirty (30) years and at (33) He finished and went home.  The army of God coming out of their hide outs or wilderness as immortal beings to call out the multitudes that are fully ripe for harvest may come up at their thirty three (33) years of hiding having received the liquid fire to immortalize them.  Only God can tell how it will go.  But let us be prepared.

The question now is, “for what shall it profit a man if he gains the whole world and lose his life”.  Having seen these clear messages from all corners (i.e. the law, the prophets and Grace (three witnesses), what manner of persons are we supposed to be?  Finally don’t accept this message and don’t condemn it.  Just take your Bible and go before the Lord with fasting and prayers, ask Him, “Lord are you the one speaking?  Is this what you want me to do?”  And don’t leave His presence until He speaks to you even if it takes one month to hear from Him and get an answer. God bless you all as you take wise decision not to be left behind.
