"The exiles from Jerusalem who are in
Sepharad will possess the towns of the Negev."
(Obadiah 20)

In retrospect, now I begin to understand why the
visions God gave me were so frightening to me,
despite the fact that I couldn't quite understand the
meaning of the implications. I want to, again, go on
record
as saying that I not only shared this revelation of
knowledge and visions and dreams with a handful of
people in my town but at various locations where we
traveled in the work we do across the nation and
abroad.
Without enumerating, we've seen all sorts of
disasters here in our nation. We've experienced
terrible hurricanes, floods, mudslides, forest fires,
tornadoes, earthquakes and crimes. Now we see our
major fuel crises which affects almost every segment
and institution in our society. On top of this now we
have a critical economic situation, horrific crises in the
housing industry, and much of our seed of wheat, corn
and soy drowned in mud.
Might God be saying something to us in the midst of
all this? Are we being overly pessimistic and fearful?
Is our government and politicians seeing the reality of
the mess our country's in? Are America's prophets
telling the whole story or are they holding back? Are
they seeing the reality before us or telling the hearers
what they want to hear?
I'm amazed as I read the Prophet Joel's vision. I have
a tough time understanding everything he said which
is much of what we're seeing before our very eyes
today. Joel devotes 48 verses to describe his vision of
terror and calamity. After leaving me trembling he then
says, "And it shall come to pass afterward. . ."
(Joel 2:28, NKJV)
These words resound louder and louder in my soul:
"And it shall come to pass. . ." No two ways
about it, it'll come to pass. There is nothing we can do
about it, "it shall come to pass." Regardless
of whether we like it or not. . .regardless of whether
some prophet says it or not, IT SHALL.
But the encouragement is in the word,
AFTERWARD. After all hell's broken loose,
after everything and everyone's been shaken and the
rubbish in our lives and all about us has burned up,
afterward, something glorious is going to
happen.
A little over a dozen times another set of prophetic
words blast away: ". . .the days are coming. . ." I
find that this phrase points more often than not to
judgment as well as to the fact and promise of aliyah -
God's returning of His Chosen People to their
homeland which is none other than Israel.
I'm comforted when I read at the ending of ". . .the
days are coming" that it stipulates,
". . .declares the LORD."
Excuse me for saying it but I've had it with a lot of
wannabe prophets out there. What I want to hear. . .
what our nation and our world needs to hear is
"DECLARES THE LORD." Let me stress
the point: DECLARES! God's not simply "saying" it, or
implying or inferring it. HE is not suggesting it, HE IS
DECLARING IT.
What is HE declaring? What He's declaring puts all
the wars, crises, disasters and catastrophes in
perspective. But before I write it down verbatim, please
allow me to tell you that the aliyah or return of the
Jewish people to the Promised Land always come in
the middle of great and grave distress! It's like the
Egyptian Pharaoh doesn't want to let God's people go.
So God sends all sorts of plagues and signs to force
the powers that be to let them go.

Sad to say but there are just too many Pharaoh's in
the Christian church today that need repenting. There
are still subtleties of anti-Semitism in much of the
Church of today. It's a virus that's become systemic --
it's within the system and it needs serious purging.
There's just far too much competition, jealousies and
strife in the "Church" today. Meantime, God is raising
up His remnant made up of Jew and Gentile Zionists
on fire for God and on fire for change, Godly change.
Alas, let me quote the prophet and let you see what
God has in store for us.
28 "And it shall come to pass afterward
That I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh;
Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy,
Your old men shall dream dreams,
Your young men shall see visions.
29 And also on My menservants and on My
maidservants
I will pour out My Spirit in those days.
30 "And I will show wonders in the heavens and in the
earth:
Blood and fire and pillars of smoke.
31 The sun shall be turned into darkness,
And the moon into blood,
Before the coming of the great and awesome day of
the LORD.
32 And it shall come to pass
That whoever calls on the name of the LORD
Shall be saved.
For in Mount Zion and in Jerusalem there shall be
deliverance,
As the LORD has said,
Among the remnant whom the LORD calls. (Joel
2:28-32, NKJV)
Did you see it? Did you see what comes at the end of
it all? "Deliverance," and "the
remnant" finally come forth! Yes, deliverance
comes to Mount Zion and Jerusalem. In the midst
of this, "the remnant" becomes visible and glorious.
So what does all this mean? It simply means that
much of what we've seen these last three years will
be seen in increasing waves. Planet earth is
convulsing with the crimes of man against God's
world. Meantime, a remnant, a true and faithful
remnant is finally being birthed. It's not a move of
man, it's not another organization or coalition of
leaders. It's not another denomination or doctrine.
This is exactly what started it all: "And it shall come
to pass afterward. . ."

This News Blurb is quite unusual, so please bear with
me as I share my heart with you. Meantime, as you
read this message, Helen and I will probably be
somewhere over the Atlantic en route to "the Beautiful
Land" of Israel and her Negev! Pray for us as the work
we're commissioned accomplish is the most vital
we've yet performed! -- Now the message.
