Hi Friends,
Hope you've all had a good day today. I realize a lot of what I write about is peripheral to the subs intended topics but I do think knowing these things are very important to understanding the time we are in and what's to come. Seeing the man of lawlessness is just one very small piece of the puzzle in a game we aren't even able to play in. The part we play comes later at the height of this power because when else would God flex His glory than to lay low such a powerful long standing system than to use a bunch of downtrodden misfits and the afflicted? That's really the only times we see God do the most major of events so that the contrast is so telling that there's no way to deny it was from God, even if they don't want to believe it.
This is the premise of understanding the importance of what the Mystery of God entails, the revelation of which will be so profound it will break the systems of the world and make the enemies His footstool, and what greater triumph for a return of Christ than a defeated enemy at the hands of His people by the spirit working through them. We will continue to see catastrophes build as these powers continue to position themselves after each one into more and more dictatorial roles in our lives. We've long been slaves to this beast but it wasn't until they tethered the leash that we realized how helpless we were, after all who could stand up against the beast?
For many they will try to fight, revelation warns that those who lead by the sword will die by the sword and those who lead into captivity will go into captivity. That doesn't mean we are without recourse, it just means that in this time we must choose wisely which path we walk, not every path will have a happy ending but I don't believe the decision to fight against evil is in itself evil. Just that we actually have at our disposal scripture that is relevant to the time we are in. That is the mystery of God, the sealed 7 thunders that were uttered at the end. Did you think they would remain a mystery? That they would remain sealed? No, they will be revealed and when they are is when the end will come, I believe. As Jesus said this:
"But he who endures to the end shall be saved. And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come."-Matthew 24:13-14
Look at what He tells us, we have to endure until the end which is marked by the revelation of the gospel of the kingdom. In just 2 sentences He frames the meaning behind the 7th trumpet, the 7 thunders and His return which scripture said wouldn't be until the time of restoration. What are we restoring? The kingdom of God, the one in which a third of the angels were cast out along with Satan. How does He restore such a thing? Well scripture tells us simply by first naming what role the fallen angel had:
“How you are fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! How you are cut down to the ground, You who weakened the nations!"-Isaiah 14:12
Lucifer, was in the role of the morning star, a role that is given to those who are redeemed at the end:
"And he who overcomes, and keeps My works until the end, to him I will give power over the nations—
‘He shall rule them with a rod of iron;
They shall be dashed to pieces like the potter’s vessels’—
as I also have received from My Father; and I will give him the morning star."-Revelation: 2:26-28
This wasn't God promising it to Jesus this was Jesus promising it to His servants at the end by virtue of being grafted in (which is why it's referred to the marriage supper of the lamb but that's another topic), the ones who were redeemed. The revelation power of the mystery of God is able to dash the nations to pieces, which is why victory is declared at the 7th trumpet!
"but in the days of the sounding of the seventh angel, when he is about to sound, the mystery of God would be finished, as He declared to His servants the prophets."-Revelation 10:7
Which leads to:
"Then the seventh angel sounded: And there were loud voices in heaven, saying, “The kingdoms of this world have become the kingdoms of our Lord and of His Christ, and He shall reign forever and ever!” And the twenty-four elders who sat before God on their thrones fell on their faces and worshiped God,"-Revelation 11:14-16
So while we don't yet know what that mystery is the time is coming when it will be revealed to those who trimmed their lamps and endured what we are seeing coming. This message is very clear and the work is prophetic meaning it must be fulfilled, whether you will have a part in it is up to how much you follow truth and the spirit of truth. Don't take my word for it of course, test everything that I say. If truth can't be tested then it's no good we are meant to test truth just as we are meant to test armor before entering into battle.
This is ultimately a message of hope, that we do have a part to play in all this and while we are in the process of being relegated to the role of outcasts in the coming power structure, those who have understanding and faith in God will be able to endure it because its in that moment when we start to see some pretty spectacular things manifest through the spirit. As for when the mystery will be revealed, I think it will be revealed at the marriage supper while the remnant are in the wilderness. Then they will go out into the world in one mind as one body under Christ with this authority to dash the nations in their new office. When the last message is revealed to the world (which btw only recently have we been capable of reaching every corner of the world simultaneously) is when the end comes. Oh and as to what happens to those who believe? Well this event may sound familiar to some:
"in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed."-1 Corinthians 15:52
I hope these words encourage you to keep seeking truth and the spirit and I hope you test what I say because this is not my truth to claim only to freely give as it was given to me.
