And I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the seal of the living God: and he cried with a loud voice to the four angels, to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the sea, Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads. And I heard the number of them which were sealed: and there were sealed an hundred and forty and four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel (Revelation 7:2-4). 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 were redeemed from among men, being the firstfruits unto God and to the Lamb (Revelation 14:3,4). At the time of John’s revelation, the 144,000 are the firstfruits of the nation of Israel, the firstfruits of the Jewish harvest unto God. In Old Testament days under the Law, Israel celebrated the feast of harvest; God gave Moses this plan. A handful of the crops’ firstfruits were brought to the priest. Next, the great harvest itself was reaped. So it will be when the Lord gathers home the firstfruits, the 144,000. Later the Jewish harvest will be reaped when Jesus is accepted as their true Messiah.

Just as the 144,000 will be the firstfruits of God in the Tribulation Period, caught up into Heaven, those taken with Christ at His resurrection became the firstfruits unto God in the church age harvest of the Gentiles. Jesus, when he had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost. And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent; And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose, And came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many (Matthew 27:50-53). Saints of God, coming out of their graves after the resurrection of Jesus, were seen in the streets of Jerusalem and ascended with Jesus into Heaven. They were the early Gentile harvest, the firstfruits.

Look at the harvest time of crops in Old Testament days, how God had it all planned out. Then see today’s harvest of humanity. God compares souls to fields of grain, ripe, ready for the harvest. For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive. But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ’s at his coming. Then cometh the end [or end ones] (I Corinthians 15:22-24).

Israel, Hidden Away

In the twelfth chapter of Revelation we find that the dragon, the devil, seeks to destroy Israel; but the Lord hides Israel away. And the woman [Israel] fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days (Revelation 12:6). And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent [Satan] (verse 14). When the devil sees that the woman/Israel is fleeing, 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 (verse 15). Some think because the woman was given two wings that she would probably leave by airplane. Not so, or the devil wouldn’t use water to try to destroy her.

Satan Cast Out of Heaven

And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon [Satan]; and the dragon fought and his angels, And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven (Revelation 12:7-8). The devil can get into perhaps the first or second Heaven, but he cannot enter the main Heaven. During this war in Heaven, Michael the captain of God’s great host of war will lead the other angels against the forces of the devil. And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him (verse 9).

Paul in Ephesians 2:2 refers to Lucifer, the devil, as the prince of the power of the air. But Lucifer’s reign as prince of the air will come to an end, we read in Revelation. He will no longer be able to elevate himself to a place of honor, no longer be able to accuse the brethren before God. And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night (Revelation 12:10). The Bible contains many startling facts that can be overlooked in reading the Word of God.

A Deadly Wound Healed

Revelation 13:1, And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea. Where have we seen this beast, this picture before? In Daniel 7. Revelation 13:2, And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority. John the Revelator, looking back in time, saw the leopard first, the bear and the lion. Daniel, looking forward in time to the same prophecy, saw the lion, the bear and then the leopard. It is exciting to discover how Bible prophecies fit together. They’re all from God. The prophets lived hundreds of years apart, and yet the information is the same because it was given by the Holy Spirit.

And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast (Revelation 13:3). Imagine witnessing the death of a world leader—everyone thinks he is dead—and then suddenly he stands, resurrected in front of TV cameras for all to see. What a great stir it will cause! No doubt this wounded head that John speaks of will be the head of the Antichrist. He will be killed. Those who followed him, loved him, will think they have lost their great leader, and then he comes to life again before their very eyes. And they worshipped the dragon [the devil] which gave power unto the beast [the Antichrist]: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him (verse 4)?

Ten Horns: The EEC

We read of a beast with seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy (Revelation 13:1). Ten horns on this beast represent the European Common Market, also known as the EEC or the European Economic Community. Some countries may drop out of the Market as it stands today, some may be added; but the Market has been formed. God said ten nations would combine forces, and now it is happening in our day. For a period of time the EEC will have great power. Three of the member nations will refuse to allow the beast, the Antichrist, to assume authority over them. After the Antichrist uproots those three, the other seven hand over their governments to him willingly. Europe is gaining more and more influence in world economy and affairs. At the same time, America’s influence is waning. The European nations are turning away from the United States. This all fits into Bible prophecy, a part of the end-time plan. Other nations are taking over our businesses at an alarming rate. In this final hour the United States must lose influence, power and strength in order for the EEC to have the great influence and power it needs to be able to perform in the way prophesied.

Two Beasts

Revelation 13 speaks of two beasts, two men so cruel they will not even seem human. God calls them beasts. And to one of the beasts was given a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months. And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven (Revelation 13:5,6). When this beast, the Antichrist, first appears, he will bring with him a powerful religion consisting of different faiths. People will look on him as a man of great peace. He will become the supposed king of the Jews, making a covenant with the Jewish people for the whole period of the Great Tribulation, seven years. It’s Daniel’s seventieth week of years. In the middle of the seven-year period, when the Antichrist sets himself up as God in the temple of God, he will reveal himself as the audacious, cruel, vicious beast he really is, a devilish incarnation.

And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations. The Antichrist wields unbelievable power. And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world. If any man have an ear, let him hear (Revelation 13:7-9). If you have an ear for any of God’s truth, any of God’s knowledge, hear the Word of the Lord’s warning. Know your destiny if you are left behind at the Rapture.

People today are looking for the psychic, not righteousness or holy living. They bend toward the occult, the cults, wanting recognition, lusting after power and the powerful. Their lust will be temporarily satisfied in the Antichrist soon to come on the world stage of power. It will be the most horrible time ever seen on the face of the earth…the Tribulation Period.

And I beheld another beast [the Antispirit or false prophet] coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon. And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast [the Antichrist] before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast [the Antichrist], whose deadly wound was healed. And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men (Revelation 13:11-13). This world leader, the Antichrist, is given power by the Antispirit to call fire down from heaven. All who will not accept God, Calvary or righteousness will accept the Antichrist.

The Mark of the Beast

And he [the Antichrist] causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six (Revelation 13:16-18). Six hundred sixty-six is the number of the mark of the beast (the Antichrist). In the Tribulation Period no one will be able to buy or sell without the number of the beast, 666. Taking the number of the beast means surrendering to him, worshiping him. Unless you agree to worship the beast and take his mark, you will not be able to withdraw your money from the bank, buy, sell or transact business. Although the beast will claim to be God, the three sixes indicate that he is false, a deceiver.

I had the strangest feeling in my first visit to Israel when I saw numerous license plates with the number 666. It was no accident, but a forerunner of the real mark of the beast. How much do you know about numbers as they are used in the Bible?

Bible Numbers Have Meaning

The numbers that God has used in the Scripture have definite meanings other than quantity.

Number one: The number God used in the Bible to demonstrate the absolute unity of the Godhead.

Number two: Represents division and trouble.

Number three: Divine completeness.

Number four: The number of the earth.

Number five: The number of grace.

Number six: The number of man (666 indicates that the Antichrist is more than a man; he is the devil/man).

Number seven: The number of divine perfection.

Number eight: New beginnings.

Number nine: Judgment.

Number ten: The number of testimony.

Number eleven: Apostasy.

Number twelve: The nation of Israel; the twelve tribes.

Number thirteen: Rebellion.

Who Is the Antichrist?

When the Antichrist makes his covenant with the Jews, he will show them great false love in one last all-out effort to defeat the program of God and establish his own kingdom. In the Antichrist, Satan will have a man he can control completely. It looks as though the Antichrist will be Judas Iscariot. Why? The beast that thou sawest was, and is not (Revelation 17:8). The beast, the Antichrist, at one time was—lived—but at the time of John the Revelator he was not. He was dead, in other words. Now in the Tribulation Period he once again is. Where will he come from? And shall ascend out of the bottomless pit (verse 8). The Bible tells us that Judas went to his place: Judas by transgression fell, that he might go to his own place (Acts 1:25). No doubt he is in the bottomless pit now, but he will come out to set up this kingdom.

Jesus in John 17:12 refers to Judas as the son of perdition, and II Thessalonians 2:3 refers to the Antichrist as the man of sin, the son of perdition. These two scripture verses, one referring to Judas and the other to the Antichrist, seem to be talking about the same person.

In a distorted manner, the devil patterns himself after God, counterfeiting everything of God he can. We see false worship of God all around us, false prophets, blasphemous ministers under the guise of true Christianity. The Lord will bring His witnesses back to Earth, Elijah and Moses; and the devil will bring Judas as his man. 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 (Revelation 17:8).

The World Church

The spirit of Babylon in the world church, controls many lives today. Nimrod, remember, in trying to establish his own religion, built the tower of Babel as a gateway into Heaven. Astrology came into popularity in Nimrod’s kingdom. An abomination to God, astrology was so hated by Him that He had astrologers put to death. Were the Lord handing out justice today, astrologers would still be put to death.

Years ago more than three thousand fortunetellers were registered in Washington D.C. Heaven only knows how many are there today. I was told by a reliable source that various lawmakers consult fortunetellers, astrologers to decide how they should vote. The involvement in astrology of a recent president and his wife made news headlines. What seemed to be this particular astrologer’s most important goal? To convince the president that Russia’s ruler could be trusted. Bible prophecies, however, make clear that the opposite is true.

Even supposed Christians play with astrology, fascinated with the thought that stars influenced their lives at birth. It’s a lie of the devil, completely against the teachings in the Word of God. The stars, the planets do not predetermine your life. The Lord is the One to chart your course, not an astrologer. Astrology is part of man’s religion.

Man’s religion today is forming the world church. Coming together fast, this religious system is led by many preachers not in the Lord’s Kingdom. The world church does not believe in either the saving power of the blood of Jesus or in His virgin birth; it denies the second coming of the Lord, the Rapture. Any minister teaching against these fundamental doctrines is displaying the spirit of the world church. Man’s religious system puts man in control of his destiny rather than God.

The world church will have great power with the beast in the beginning of the Tribulation Period. And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither; I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great whore [the world church] that sitteth upon many waters: With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication (Revelation 17:1,2). Whoredom. The world church has committed fornication against the God who made her; she has been untrue to Him. The Lord calls her the great whore. This church will be active during the Tribulation Period.

So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman [the world church] sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns (Revelation 17:3). Now we come to the European nations again, the seven heads and ten horns. The church is associated with these nations in great power. And the woman [the world church] was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication (verse 4). The abominations are the works of the devil, sin, sin, sin. All too many people do not look upon sin as evil but as the right to “do their own thing.” Eaten up with lust, they indulge in the seventeen works of the flesh named in Galatians 5. The works of the flesh have entered the Christian church.

Many claiming to be Christian are really lost, deceived by Lucifer. Ministers preach today that you cannot be free of sin—it’s a message of Lucifer, not God; the lie of the devil that wrecked the world in the Garden of Eden. In the Tribulation Period, the world church will be the devil’s instrument. The true church, the people who were without spot, wrinkle or any such thing, already will have been taken out in the Rapture. The true church, the Glorious Church, found in salvation what it was to live free from all sin; and then they went on to be baptized in the Holy Ghost. The Lord said He was coming after the Glorious Church.

The world church, the woman…arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls (Revelation 17:4) is rich indeed. She looks to God for nothing, for she has given herself over to the devil. And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH (verse 5). Abominations of the earth, the lowest of the low, will make up this false church, this ungodly world religious system. People fighting the miracles of God and the power of God, the Virgin Birth, the baptism in the Holy Spirit and the soon coming of Jesus belong to the world church, not to the body of Jesus Christ.

And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration (Revelation 17:6). The spirit of Babylon has persecuted God’s people throughout the ages. The world church is called Babylon because it displays the same spirit: We’ll have our own religion. We’ll not accept what thus saith the Lord. We’ll chart our own course with the stars, make our own door into Heaven; we don’t like God’s door.

In the past, God has allowed that spirit to rule for a limited time before its kingdom was brought down. Then another kingdom or empire would rise up to take its place, the same old spirit, the same old devil in control.

At last in our day we’ve reached the final extent of the spirit of Babylon. That devilish religious system will come to an end in the Tribulation Period.

The EEC and The World Church Overpowered

And the angel said unto me, Wherefore didst thou marvel? I will tell thee the mystery of the woman [the world church], and of the beast [the Antichrist] that carrieth her, which hath the seven heads and ten horns [the EEC, the European Economic Community, also called the Common Market] (Revelation 17:7). At this time the Rapture has taken place. The woman, the world church, remember, is riding on the beast, the Antichrist. She has great influence, great power; and she is ruling, making many decisions. And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth (verse 9). The seven mountains refer to the famous seven hills of Rome. The seat of the false church will be Rome. The whore, this false, ungodly system of religion will be made up of people from different denominations and all walks of life, from many nations with one thing in common: they have turned their backs on God.

And there are seven kings [world kingdoms]: five are fallen [Egypt, Assyria, Babylon, Medo-Persia, Greece], and one is [the Roman Empire of John’s day], and the other [the EEC] is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space. And the beast that was, and is not [the Antichrist], even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition (Revelation 17:10,11). The seventh kingdom is composed of the Common Market nations, the EEC. The eighth kingdom is that of the Antichrist. And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings [the EEC], which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast (verse 12). The ten nations of the EEC reign just a short time with the Antichrist. These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast (verse 13). The beast, the Antichrist, will take over the Common Market nations, have authority over them.

And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the whore [the world church] sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues (Revelation 17:15). The waters represent multitudes associated with the whore. She’s right out there now among the people with her false doctrine, with her abominations. And the ten horns [the Common Market nations] which thou sawest upon the beast [the Antichrist], these shall hate the whore [the world church], and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire (verse 16). The great takeover by the whore (the world church, the false religious system) will seem to have influence over the Antichrist for a time. Then these ten nations of the EEC, jealous of the world church’s influence, will destroy her power.

And after these things I saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power; and the earth was lightened with his glory. And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great [the world church] is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird. For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies (Revelation 18:1-3). “Babylon the great,” remember, was the name written on the forehead of the woman in scarlet, the whore representing the world church. While appearing delicate and innocent, the world church in truth is so sly that multitudes are deceived. God portrays her as a promiscuous, sinful person and tells of her destruction.

Using the works of the flesh instead of the ways of God, the world church has degraded itself and blasphemed God in every way possible. God has been merciful, merciful; but His mercy is coming to an end. When that cry goes forth Babylon, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen! the false religious system will be over, destroyed. Great will be the fall, and great will be the calamity and judgment.

The World Today Preparing for Armageddon

With the world church out of the way, the Antichrist goes forth to conquer everything. The time has come for the great battle to start, the Battle of Armageddon. Even today the nations are preparing for it. To what part of the world do the daily headlines take us? To the Middle East where the Battle of Armageddon will be fought. The conflict between the Arabs and Jews is much in the news. Iran, filled with unreasoning hatred toward Israel and the United States, is the Persia of Bible prophecy. Iran/Persia will play a great part in the battle; she has already taken her place. Russia, in all probability, will come through Iran on her way to the Holy Land.

All but one-sixth of the Russian army and her allies will be killed and buried in Israel (Ezekiel 39:2). God tells how long it will take to bury the dead and clean up the battlefield. And seven months shall the house of Israel be burying of them, that they may cleanse the land (verse 12). And they that dwell in the cities of Israel shall go forth, and shall set on fire and burn the weapons, both the shields and the bucklers, the bows and the arrows, and the handstaves, and the spears, and they shall burn them with fire seven years (verse 9). Never has there been a war like it. So ferocious and marked by God is this war, that Jesus talked about it when He was on Earth. In the twenty-fourth chapter of Matthew He declared, Except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved (Matthew 24:22).

Crying peace, Russia does not want it any more than the Antichrist will want peace. Don’t be deceived by her actions; Russia is devilish in her government, in all her ways, cunning and false as the devil himself. Russia is deceiving many in America. They think she wants peace and cry out against anyone who doesn’t believe her.

A Deceiving Age

In one country the predominant church recognizes voodooism, and even incorporates some of its practices into their services. Voodoo symbols are on church walls. Voodooism is satanism. God has moved on me to expose the deceit of Lucifer. Through the gift of discerning operating in a crusade service, God revealed that voodoo had led a woman to commit the murders of her twin babies. The Lord showed me how she had buried them. When I began to describe the crime, a scream that made the blood run cold pierced the air. God set up a moment of judgment and then offered mercy to all. Over 75,000 said the sinners’ prayer in that service.

Throughout history the spirit of the world system of Babylon would disappear at times and then reappear, like water running underground and then springing up wherever it could find an opening, preparing the way for the Antichrist’s takeover. In the Tribulation Period, the Antichrist will do as he pleases; he will trample underfoot everything he can of God, everything that looks, acts like or pertains to God.

It’s time for us to open our eyes to all false doctrine. In this hour of witches and psychics, even respected publishers are putting out books on the occult. People are intrigued with the ways of Lucifer. Drugs have drawn many into the occult. In sorcery, the use of drugs is generally accompanied by incantations and appeals to occult power. Through drugs the devil can take over the mind completely to operate the user before he knows what is really happening. Some see not only various kinds of demons, but the devil himself. They desire this experience, crave it, seek it. They ask Satan and his demons to take them over. Have no part of the occult, of witches, devils, demons no matter how innocent they seem.

Unprotected Homes

All fortunetelling is of the devil. Keep your children free from it. Don’t fool with witchcraft: devil possession may be the result. The devil can take over those who do not live for God. Godly discipline keeps you from going against the authority of God and the Word of God. How many parents give their children godly discipline? How many godly parents know the way of Lucifer? Those reared in homes that don’t understand about demons, devils and God are unprotected. When the children experience the supernatural power of Satan, they think they have discovered a great secret of the universe, something to give them power and recognition. It is demon power, and many have been destroyed because of it—in hell right now.

If you ever prayed for your children before they go to school, now is the time to pray. Children attend school with devil-possessed boys and girls. Across the aisle from your child might be one demon possessed, and those demons are seeking to destroy your child, too. Boys and girls in elementary school can be more devil possessed, do more degraded things than children once did in high school. Look at the chaos in the schools. The Word of God has been driven out, and even some preachers endorse its absence. God has been excluded so the devil could come in. Children are being taught evolution but not the true creation story of Adam and Eve.

You don’t know what you are sending your children into, what they are facing. Perhaps they have picked up spirits of disobedience, and now you must conquer those spirits, give good discipline and much love. We’re not going to have that kind of music around here, those kinds of programs, that language, that back-talk.

Children have been brought into a world speeding toward the Battle of Armageddon, a civilization where many are possessed by the devil. God warned us about the spirit of disobedience that would possess children in the final hour, and that spirit is here. This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy (II Timothy 3:1,2).

It will take everything you can do to save your children from the powers of the devil. Some of your children already have been swept into the arms of Lucifer, changed so completely that you hardly recognize them. The devil has robbed them of their love for you. They say cruel, hurtful things about you—those little innocent ones that you cradled in your arms.

Some of you got along very well with your children until they entered junior high school, high school or college. Drugs, demonic powers, devil possession changed them. People have been brought to me when they were all but destroyed by drugs…human vegetables. I have prayed for people whose once intelligent minds were no longer able to carry on simple conversations. It’s the spirit of the age we live in.

How much God do you have in your home? The home must be full of God to give your family a chance in this last and final hour. Parents, if you don’t stand up for God now for your children, you are going to lose them for all eternity. It will take all the fight you can muster with the faith and the love and the power of God; it will take God moving in your life every hour of the day to be able to defeat those demons that are seeking to destroy your children. Before you decide to have a child, you had better stand before God and search your heart to see if you are willing to give your whole life for this child. Are you willing to fight off the devil night and day? This child will have to go out into a jungle of a world. Many children are devil possessed before they even start to school.

God Is Uncovering Much in This Hour

America’s society cannot last much longer now. This age is almost over. If you are not ready to meet the Lord, wait no longer to prepare. Too many churches have slipped into nothing but a mockery of worship, eliminating the altar, ignoring salvation and the coming of the Lord, failing to warn of the judgments of hell. Some churches have removed all the songs about the blood of Jesus from their hymnals. Humanism has taken the place of the divine life of Jesus Christ.

Everything God has said in His Word either has happened or will happen. Live pure, clean and holy; take Jesus into your heart; be filled with the Holy Ghost and yielded to Him each moment so you can be taken with Jesus at His soon coming and escape the Great Tribulation. Those who say man cannot live free from sin will be here during that time. Some ministers preach this damnable doctrine because they themselves are not living free from sin. But the Bible says you can and must if you want to be taken to God’s Heaven. Ministers who are not right with God are being uncovered. We’re in an hour now that is devilish, terrible.

Keep your garments unspotted, your life pure and clean so you can be everything God wants you to be. Dare to be a Daniel. It doesn’t matter about the lions; dare to stand alone with God, dare to be all God wants you to be. Those who won’t heed God’s warning, those who insist on their own way will have to pay.

Judgments Are Beginning to Fall

The judgments of God are falling even now, and more are on the way. Terrible, terrible things are coming on the face of the earth. Storms in places they have never been, tornadoes, earthquakes, disasters of different kinds. God is going to use judgment as well as grace to open people’s eyes, to shake them into the reality of this hour we live in. When God’s left hand of judgment goes up higher than His right hand of mercy, woe, woe to the inhabitants of the earth!

Judgments will be rained down in the Tribulation Period. We are so close to that time that some of the judgments of God are already coming upon planet Earth—that’s thus saith the Lord—already coming upon the earth. You will not get by fooling around with sin, degrading your body. If you degrade your body, you will be destroyed

Great danger is in the world. The disease AIDS has proven that; it’s a judgment of God, and there will be more and more. Despising and loathing the disease AIDS, we must separate our feelings about the disease from our feelings about the afflicted person, loving the person. Just as, for example, we hate cancer, but not the person. God has given great love for people, not condemnation. The Lord does not rebuke sinners when they come to Him; He is glad to see them coming to get rid of their sins, and He shows mercy.

God’s Mercy Is Still Available

Maybe you are an AIDS victim, perhaps the world has given up on you. Jesus hasn’t. You may feel as though no one loves you, but God loves you. Come to Jesus; yield to the power of God calling to you. Only God can cure AIDS; no physician on Earth can. Those afflicted with that disease have only one way out. God meant it to be like that; God is the answer, the only door of mercy. No cure in view for years down the road, but I believe many, many AIDS victims will be set free through this Jesus ministry. It is no harder for God to heal AIDS than for Him to heal anything else. Mark my words: There will be many, many AIDS victims God will heal if they turn to Him in their desperation and say, “God, I have sinned against you. God, I was wrong. God, I failed you.”

Some AIDS victims contracted the disease innocently through blood transfusions, through circumstances beyond their control. I have never seen a case that God could not cure when the person put all trust in Jesus. God is the answer. If people turn to God, look to Him and really mean it, God will move. If people will say, “God, I’m giving my life to you; I want mercy!” He will hear. This is still an hour of mercy even though judgment is starting to fall. God is tender toward the human race. When people look to God, He responds marvelously.

You cannot hide anything from the Lord; He knows all things; He knows the way you take. No one can deceive Him. The Lord has warned you as He warned people before He sent judgments in the past. He has pleaded. He has worked night and day revealing His judgments to come, but many refused to believe. His Spirit cried, but they did not respond. Do not allow spiritual deafness to be yours in this your last hour. Open your ears with His Spirit and you will hear what He is saying. Open your ears and hear the warning that is going forth day and night of the wrath that will soon be poured upon the earth. Open your heart, receive His Word, know the hour in which you live, and you will rise up to make ready for your Lord. You will hurry with the work of your Lord, knowing that the day is almost over and the night cometh.

Take His anointing and you will pray, fast, seek His face and be full of His Holy Spirit. Adorned then in His righteousness, you will walk in the beauty of His holiness, holy in His sight. There will be no deceit in your heart. You will be used by the Lord’s hand and He will bring others into the Kingdom because you gave your life into His hands to be used. Bow in complete obedience in His presence, and He will lead you through the dangers of this last and final hour onto Rapture ground.
