This write-up is a follow up to “the Glory of Rapture” 1 & 2 which are also on available on this site, however it can be read and understood as a stand-alone.

As promised, this is to share what was shown in scriptures, visions, and dreams so that we might get ready for what is ahead. However, sharing of visions, encounters, and dreams, as fascinating as they are is not the main thing. They are merely signposts of God. The core message is preparing for the coming of the King!

We must gird ourselves…  knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep; for now, our salvation is nearer than when we first believed. The night is far spent, the day is at hand. Therefore, let us cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armor of light (Rom. 13:11,12). 

In over 3 years of messages about Jesus' second coming, the most repeated message has been “Redeeming the time, for the coming days are evil” Ephesians 5:16 (coming was added). 

It means we must increase our intensity to compensate for the time wasted. This is vital as we need to prepare for the Glory and confusion coming to our world. To prepare, we need to mature into His sons and daughters. Either we are sons and are glorified, or we aren’t and are affected by the chaos. There will be no fence to sit on for Christians who won’t follow completely. I was told that in the days ahead lukewarmness will be more dangerous than being a cold unbeliever because Jesus said... “So then, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will vomit you out of My mouth.” (Rev 3:16). Jesus was merciful to the cold as He spat out the lukewarm. I hope to talk more about this point another day.

Please wake up and call on the Lord when He may be found (Is. 55:6)

If you have been lukewarm, do not be discouraged. Time is God's grace, and while it is still “today” we can turn it around because we know that God is faithful to make a day like a thousand years for us (II Pet. 3:8). Let us wake up!

What are we preparing for? 

We are getting ready for the return of the King. Many believe that we are to live our normal lives until when Jesus suddenly shows up. Such thinking is wrong.  We have responsibilities too. Peter told his disciples to be, “looking for and hastening the coming of the day of God…” (II Pet. 3:12).  Peter and the church were actively preparing for our King.

There is a preparation that will raise the glorious church which will manifest the fullness of Christ (Eph. 4:13). This glorious body of Christ will crush the manifestation of the greatest darkness since Adam fell. In our days is the literal fulfillment of Isaiah 60:1 : "Arise, shine; For your light has come! And the glory of the LORD is risen upon you. For behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, And deep darkness the people; But the LORD will arise over you, And His glory will be seen upon you."  

The greatest chaos/sorrow and the greatest glory/blessings in all of human history is at hand.

What we do now will decide which section we belong to. What a time to be alive! Please choose wisely.

Are we really at the end of the “last days”?

This is my 15^th year of following Jesus, and I have been hearing about “the last days” from day one, plus I have read of last days in books written over a thousand years ago. Is the end really in our life time?

Its understandable if you doubt all these things in these days of disreputable

“men of God” who sees visions of their hearts. In fact scriptures says we should “test all things and hold what is true”. Finally God said that…”By the mouth of two or three witnesses every word shall be established.” (II Cor. 13:1). 

However, while skepticism is healthy, we need to be balanced because the same scriptures says “Do not despise prophecies. Test all things; hold fast what is good.” (I Thess. 5:20-21). Eternity is at play here. I am not asking that you believe me, but that you consider and put these things to test before the Lord.

Three Witnesses To My Messages

To convince you, the rest of this write up are quotes of three popular ministers of God. These documents are available online in case you need to verify. I was a doubter despite what I saw in dreams and visions until I was directed to read and listen to the clarion call of God's servants over many centuries. It broke my last wall of doubt.  

In fact there are so many documented witnesses who I was directed to, and others that I found by my own research that it is surprising that these things are not better known. That will soon change as the challenges ahead will make the wise seek answers because what we have assumed to be true till now will no longer suffice.

Therefore, I want to lay out some “proof” of what is coming upon us as Jesus unveils the grand finale of the revelation of God to His creation.  These men's visions are merely to jerk you out of complacency, so that you seek God for your own direction because the most reliable proof is the word that God gives you. 

Below are visions of three people whose books I read as instructed by the Holy Spirit. These men's prophecies are of no greater value than God's word to us. In fact His words supersedes all of them, but I was shown these because God was merciful to my unbelief. What a loving Father! We all get parts and need the Holy Spirit and others to see better (I Cor. 13:9)

The three references for this write up are Rick Joyner, Kenneth E. Hagin and Demos Shakarian. 

Rick Joyner

Rick Joyner is a popular American Prophetic voice who has authored many Christian classics like the “Final Quest” trilogy.

On the 8^th of January 201,9, I read an article by Rick Joyner which was straight to the point. I have picked out a couple of sections in the lengthy article which documented a prophetic dream. You can find the whole article here if you desire to read it yourself https://www.morningstarministries.org/resources/wordweek/2019/second-american-revolutionarycivil-warWeek 1, 2019

Rick Joyner

On December 14, 2018, I had a dream about various attacks coming upon our country. I was also shown those who would be sent out to counter each one.

In the dream, I was waiting in line to be sent to fight one of these enemies when I was approached by an angel and told that I had a different assignment. I was then taken to a large device that was showing “A History of The American Republic from Heaven’s Perspective.”…

When I came to the present, there was a sentence written in brilliant glowing golden letters: “The Second American Revolutionary/Civil War is inevitable, it is right, and it will be successful.”….

….The whole world is entering the most trying times there has ever been. What we will be given to face them is a sure hope from above that the outcome will be “successful.”

The italics and bold fonts are mine for emphasis. These are things I have been shown too.

Kenneth E. Hagin

About 2 years ago, I had an encounter during which I called out to God to make these things clearer. From that encounter, I was told to read, “I believe in Visions” by Kenneth E. Hagin. This was a book I had read before so I wasn’t expecting any surprises. It was a wrong assumption.  In pages 46 – 50, I read what I had been shown repeatedly, but the difference between us is that I was going to live to see what Hagin was prophesying. You can get and read that on your own. I won’t paste it because of it’s length. However, this led me to search for more of Kenneth Hagin's prophesies. Here is another prophesy he gave which is shorter.

Yea, the hand of the Lord was upon me ... the Spirit of God moved upon me ... the voice of God spoke unto me and said, "Come up, come up hither son of man." I went, as it were, up into the air and stood with Him, the Head of the church, even the Lord Jesus Christ...in the air. And as I looked down upon the ground I could see as a map laid out before me the entire nation—all the states of the continental United States. And as I looked He said, "Behold son, and I shall show you that which shall come to pass, and that which the eyes of many shall see. And they shall remember that their ears heard that it shall come to pass."

For there came a dark hand up out of the ocean from the east, even from the Atlantic Ocean. It came up out of the sea as a hand and as it rose up into the air it became a dark cloud and it filled the whole atmosphere. Yea, and it swept in like a storm at sea. And I said, "Oh Lord! Oh Lord! Oh Lord! What's the meaning of this?" And He spake unto me and said, "Son, that is the darkness of atheistic communism that is sweeping across the nation— even in the minds of men in high places and politicians with great power. And this nation shall not grow more strong and you shall not have more liberty than you have now, but liberties that you've known and you've seen shall be seized and taken from you."

And I looked again, and I could see upon the mountain a blotch, as though a bottle of ink had been spilled and spread out over several states in the south and east. And then I looked and I could see spots splotched all over the map and I said, "Lord, what meaneth this?" 

And He said, "Communistic inspired hatred among races shall cause greater turmoil than your nation has seen heretofore. Yea, it is not the will of God but men's hearts are perverse and they walk without the love of God and seek to have their own way. And so it shall be worse than you have seen." And I said, "Oh Lord! Oh Lord! Is there a remedy? Is there a remedy? What shall the answer be?" And He said, "Evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceived and being deceived."

And then I said, "Oh, Lord! Do we have nothing to look forward to in the future except the darkness, the blackness, war, destruction and evil?" And He said, "Son of man, forget not your text for you look at the things not seen." And so then I looked into the spirit realm and I saw falling upon that mountain a ball of fire from heaven. The closer to the Earth, the bigger it got, and then when it came to the Earth it divided into small balls or sparks of fire, and it fell upon men. And I saw an army of men rise up, and it seemed as though their hands were fire. And there sat upon their heads a tongue of fire. (When I first saw it, it seemed like their whole heads were on fire but it was tongues of fire leaping.) And I said, "What meaneth this?" And He said, "Before the worst shall come and the day of darkness encompasses there will be those who shall go and who shall carry the fullness of My truth and the fire, not only to the states of this nation but to many other places. For there is a work that must be done, first spiritually, before the Lord shall come. (Looking at Things Unseen

(Prophecy) – Kenneth Hagin)

I have highlighted some sections for emphasis. 

The best of God is reserved for those of us who will walk with Him in these days ahead. He will raise a perfect church in the midst of the chaos that will resist the greatest darkness we have ever seen, and then we will be taken home. 

However, we must start to separate ourselves for Him now! A soldier doesn’t learn how to use a gun in the midst of war but in the time of peace. Start now, don’t procrastinate. Seek God with all you have. Hold nothing back. He will tell you what you need to do.

Demos Shakarian

Finally, for this episode I will share another well known minister who has gone to be with the Lord. Towards the end of 2017, I kept hearing the phrase “Happiest People on Earth” in my heart. It wouldn’t go away until I finally realized I was suppose to read a book with that title which I had gotten some years ago but just never got inspired to read.

It is a wonderful auto-biography of Demos Shakarian who founded the global ministry called Full Gospel Business Men's Fellowship and also, incredibly, the great uncle of reality TV star Kim Kardashian. As incredible as his story was, two sections had my hair on it’s ends because it had echoes of what I had received from the Lord. These were the first and last chapters. You can get the book and read it yourself.  Prior to reading the book, I had been seeing mass migration of the people of God similar to the Exodus of Jews from Egypt in my dreams repeatedly. The messages I received were of God calling His people physically out of the different countries and spiritually out of the world. This was a confirmation of what I had seen. I later found out that the book is popular amongst prophetic people, but there is no way I would have read the book without being told to. I had completely forgotten that I had gotten it to start with.

The Happiest People on Earth.

This person was known throughout the region as the “Boy  Prophet”…the man’s real name was Efim Gerasemovitch  Klubniken, and he had a remarkable history. From earliest childhood Efim had shown a gift for prayer frequently going on long fasts praying around the clock. As everybody  in Kara Kala knew, when Efim was eleven years old he had  heard the Lord calling him again to one of his prayer vigils.  This time he persisted for seven days and  nights, and during this time received a vision. This in itself was not  extraordinary…, But what Efim was able to do during those seven days was not so easy to explain. Efim could neither  read nor write. Yet, as he sat in the little stone cottage in  Kara Kala, he saw before him a vision of charts and a message in a beautiful  handwriting. Efim asked for pen and paper. And for seven days sitting at the rough plank-table where the family ate, he laboriously copied down the form and shape of letters and diagrams that passed before his eyes. When he had finished, the manuscript was taken  to people in the village who could read. It turned out that  this illiterate child had written out in Russian characters a series of instructions and warnings. At some unspecified  time in the future, the boy wrote, every Christian in Kara  Kala would be in terrible danger. He foretold a time of  unspeakable tragedy for the entire area, when hundreds  of thousands of men, women, and children would be  brutally murdered. The time would come, he warned, when everyone in the region must  flee. They must go to a land across the sea. Although he had never seen a geography book, the Boy Prophet drew a map showing  exactly where the fleeing Christians were to go. The amazement of the adults, the body of water depicted so  accurately in the drawing was not the nearby Black Sea, or  the Caspian Sea, or even the farther-off Mediterranean, but the distant and unimaginable Atlantic Ocean!  There was no doubt about it, nor about the identity of the land on the other side:  the map plainly indicated the east  coast of the United States of America.

...A little later, Efim  also wrote out a second prophecy, but  all anybody knew about that one was that it dealt with  the still more distant future  –  when the people would once again have to flee. Efim asked his parents to seal this  prophecy in an envelope, and repeated the instructions he had received concerning it. He had been told in his vision  that only a future prophet  –  chosen by the Lord for this task  –  could open the envelope and read the prophecy  to the church. Anyone opening  the envelope before  the  time would die. Well, many people in Kara Kala smiled at  these romances of a little boy. Surely there must be some explanation of the “miraculous” writing. Perhaps he had secretly taught himself to read and write, just in order to play this trick on the village. Others however  took  to calling Efim the Boy Prophet and were no at all convinced that the message was not genuine. Every time news of  fresh political troubles reached the tranquil hills around  Ararat, they would get out the now yellowed pages and  read them again. Troubles between the Moslem Turks and the Christian Armenians did seem to be growing in intensity. In August  1896  –  four  years before Grandfather butchered the blind steer  –  hadn’t  a  Turkish mob murdered more than six thousand Armenians on the  streets of Constantinople? But Constantinople was  far  away, and years had passed since  the giving of the prophecy. True, prophecies in the Bible often came dozens, even hundreds of years before the event. But  most people in Kara Kala, Grandfather among them, believed such genuine prophetic gifts had ceased with the completion of the Bible. And then, a little after the turn of  the century, Efim announced that the time was near for  the fulfilment of the words he had written  down nearly  fifty  years  before. “We must flee to America. All who  remain here will perish.” Here and there in Kara Kala Pentecostal families packed up and left the holdings that  had been their ancestral possessions time out of mind. Efim and his family were among the first to go. As each group of Pentecostals left Armenia, they were jeered by  those who remained behind. Skeptical and disbelieving  folk  –  including many Christians  –  refused to believe that 

God could issue pinpoint instructions for modern people  in a modern age. But the instructions proved correct. In 1914 a period of unimaginable horror arrived for Armenia. With remorseless efficiency the Turks began the bloody  business of driving two-thirds of the population out into  the Mesopotamian desert. Over a million men, women and children died in these marches, including every  inhabitant of Kara Kala.  Another half a million were massacred in their villages, in a program that was later to  provide Hitler his blueprint for the extermination of the  Jews…The few Armenians who managed to escape the besieged areas brought with them tales of great heroism.  They reported that the Turks sometimes gave Christians  an opportunity to deny their faith in exchange for their  lives.  The favorite procedure was to lock a group of  Christians in a barn and set it afire:  “If you are willing to  accept Mohammed in place of Christ we'll open the  doors.”   Time and again, the Christians chose to die, chanting hymns of  praise as the flames  engulfed  them.

“I thought of the second message the “Boy Prophet”  received so long  ago, still sealed and unopened.  Does it  foretell a great persecution coming to Christians in America, just before the Lord returns? Personally I think  so.  I think the spirit is being given us in preparation for  this time:  to bind us into a Body, to assign to each one  of us the task he alone can do for the welfare of that  Body.  I often wonder who will be told to open that  message and read it to the church.” 

I believe the story because I was directed to read it, and it plays out some things I have also seen verbatim. One of these is that there will be massive migration of people across the world to save lives as natural disasters, economic meltdown, wars etc. are going to be common place all over the world. 

I have picked these few men's visions because they span a wide range of time, and especially because they might be held in higher esteem than me by many believers. 

I still haven’t shared how we will prepare. I have put this together so that you may be convinced enough to seek God on them and I pray it will awaken at the very least a curiosity in you to know if they are true. 

Next time I will start sharing God's core messages. I have delayed and tried to convince you to prepare you for those messages. Thank you. Our King is coming…our King is coming.
