TIME before the ANTICHRIST - Part II (Humanism)

by Jonah Lee 23.07.2010

“For with much wisdom comes much sorrow; the more knowledge, the more grief” Eccl. 1:18

HUMANISM - The Root of Babel (2007)

"They built empires in greater or smaller scales; each of them are building something to make a name for themselves"

What is humanism?

Humanism simply means a culture that believes in human-based morality. It is defined as a system of thought that is based on the values, characteristics, and behavior that are believed to be best in human beings, rather than on any supernatural authority. The focus is on the concern with the needs, well-being, and interests of people above any other things or values. On the appearance, it may look or even sound biblical but on the hindsight, God has been invalidated and replaced by human as the core of its belief. It is a culture that believes in human superiority and attainment that they could accomplish whatever things that they could imagine. Human mind was the object of worship instead of God. In Romans 8:7 it says, our carnal mind is enmity against God, and it will never subject to God.

Transhumanism Salvation or Judgment Day?

Let's take a look at the extract from The Independent Post (UK), referring to the latest attainment of humanity:

Against the Grain: 'We'll be able to upload our brains to a computer'
by Nick Jackson, 22 November 2007
Anders Sandberg is James Martin Research Fellow at the Future of Humanity Institute, University of Oxford. Dr Sandberg believes that in the future we will be able to, and should, dramatically change what it means to be human.

Transhumanism – enhancing humans through new sciences and technologies – often looks a rather pie-in-the-sky, science-fiction idea. But we have good scientific reasons to think that in future we are going to change the human condition significantly.

It is becoming more and more realistic that we will extend our life span. I'm pretty optimistic that one day we will be able to upload our brains on to a computer, which will give us a kind of immortality. We can already simulate a brain bigger than an insect's.

A human brain is going to take a lot of computer power, but microscopy can actually scan brain slices quite well. We don't yet know how to reconstruct the function of neurons from the microscopy, but it seems that most people think it is feasible, although with microscopy the brain is pulverized.

[Australian artist Patricia Piccinini's concept of what human-animal hybrids might look like are provocative creatures which are part of a sculpture entitled The Young Family, produced to address the reality of such possible parahumans in a compassionate way. Transhumanists would call for the recognition of self-aware parahumans as persons]

According to Francis Fukuyama, professor of international political economy at Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies, author of Our Posthuman Future: Consequences of the Biotechnology Revolution, and a member of the President's Council on Bioethics said that "Transhumanism is the world's most dangerous idea", while one proponent, Ronald Bailey, counters that it is the “movement that epitomizes the most daring, courageous, imaginative, and idealistic aspirations of humanity”. Transhumanism is really the continuation of the classical ideas of humanism, but instead of improving the current human condition through democracy or tolerance, you actually improve the human condition itself. (For further understanding about Transhumanism there are numerous articles that you could find on the internet on this particular subject)   http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transhumanism

Humanism has reached its climax when men would engage in acts of creation like God. This  remind us of the Eden's sin, where the serpent beguiled Eve to believe that she could be like God after she possess the knowledge of good and evil. The love of knowledge has become the object of desire for humanism ever since. This insinuates rebellion and led to God's eventual judgement and banishment from Eden. Ironically, Lucifer had suffered the similar kind of fate as Adam and Even that he wanted to be like the Most High. Consequently, he was driven out from the heavenly kingdom (Isaiah 14:14). Was it a coincidence? Absolutely not. The whole episode of Eden was a direct vengeance against God and it continues its way down to Babylon, and from Babylon it spreads to all human civilizations. The Tower of Babel was the symbol of rebellion it signifies the partnership of men and him.

The judgment of Babel was the first judgment on men after the great flood. It serves as an admonition and reminder to men that God will not tolerate any form of rebellion. However, did men get the message and stop rebelling against Him? History tells us that men would continue to rebel against Him ever since. They had purposed in their hearts to be like “gods” and be worshiped and exalted by their own kind. 

History has a story to tell...............

According to historical finding and ancient religion, most pagan religions and idols worships were attributed to Nimrod and his mother Semiramis whom were the leaders of the “Babel Rebellion”. According to the study of Bryce Self, after establishing his kingdom in the Tigris/Euphrates region he consolidated his power by establishing a state religion. He constructed a religion that included deification and worship of the emperor (himself), worship of Satan and his demons, and star-worship (corrupted from a pure antediluvian astronomy). A key unifying factor in his religion was to be an astronomical / astrological observatory built upon the pinnacle of a tower at Babel. It has been suggested that Nimrod spent some time in Egypt before moving up to Mesopotamia and that while in Egypt he studied the Egyptian mystery religion perpetuated there from before the flood by the wife of Ham, whom tradition takes to be a descendant of Cain. (Pic above is Egyptian Madonna)

After their deaths, Nimrod and his wife Semiramis ("queen of heaven") were confirmed by their priests as gods and given homage as Marduk and Astarte. The name Marduk was not revealed to the masses but his attributes were set forth under pseudonyms of various gods constructed for the public interest. As a note on the Babylonian mystery religion, the original cult of the mother and child, Semiramis and Tammuz, became later Isis and Osiris, Venus and Adonis, the Madonna and child in various cultures down to this day.

This anti-God spirit is still very much pervasive in our culture today.

Civilizations

Historically, humanism was revived by the secular cultural and intellectual movement of the Renaissance that spread throughout Europe as a result of the rediscovery of the arts and philosophy of the ancient Greeks and Romans. In fact, the Greek philosophy had great influenced over the Western Civilization. Its foundation was laid by the two great ancient Greek philosophers namely Plato and Aristotle. Aristotle the student of Plato and teacher of Alexander the Great had much influence on him. He gave Alexander a thorough training in rhetoric and literature and stimulated his interest in science, medicine, and philosophy. Our modern science, medicine and technology were accredited to this self-attain philosophy.

Today, many of the ancient biblical events have been re-established despite of numerous time of interventions of God
as we see it throughout history. This is the time where independence and rejection of Him has culminated to the brim of the judgment cup (cup of wrath). The building of the European Parliament which is the exact copy of the Tower of Babel was completed in France in 1999 as a clear sign of rebellion. The European Union and the inference of the occurrence was so perceptible that the prophetic event of the resurrection of the Roman Empire has now come to
absolute fulfillment.

The prophetic time has now come to completion of its journey around the globe. We are being ushered back to the scene of the “Babel Rebellion”, that men would build empires in greater or smaller scales; each of them are building something to make a name for themselves (Genesis 11).

The judgment is already here and greater one is on its way......

TOWER OF BABYLON

BABYLONIAN CHURCHES

Isaiah 66:1-2, So says Jehovah, Heaven is My throne, and earth My footstool. Where, then, is the house that you build for Me? And where is the place of My rest? For all those My hand has made, and all those exist, says Jehovah. But to this one I will look, to the afflicted and contrite spirit, and the one who trembles at My Word.

Act 7:47-51, but Solomon built Him a house. But, the Most High does not dwell in temples made with hands, as the prophet says, "Heaven is My throne and earth is My footstool. What house will you build Me, says the Lord, or what is the place of My rest? Has not My hand made all these things?" O stiff-necked and uncircumcised in heart and ears! You always resist the Holy Spirit. As your fathers did, so you do.

TIME before the ANTICHRIST - Part I (Tower of Babel)

by Jonah Lee 13.07.2010

I received this revelation on 4th January, 2006. The impression came very early in the morning in a vision of a preacher preaching to a huge congregation in a mega church and I heard the word “Babel.” At first, I don't have the understanding of what it means. Then, the word came flowing out of me like a gate just been unleashed of a reservoir. The Lord began to give me the understanding of the tower of Babel which I've posted here in this blog under the title Time Before the Antichrist. 

The Root of Babel (2006)

When God revealed to me the meaning of the "Vision of Babel" which I received in 2006, the enemy's plan was unfolding before me. The rebellion of the civilization has begun here at the construction of Tower of Babel which is a symbol of pride it was led by a man named Nimrod.

According to geographical studies Nimrod was originally from the land of Ethiopia. He was described as a "mighty hunter before Jehovah” and the term being used is not a compliment but rather it implies "ruthlessness and a lust for power". The original Hebrew translation before the Lord as ‘in the face of YHWH’ this can only meant defiance to YHWH. (Gen 11:1-6)
                                              
What does the name Nimrod means? The meaning of the verb form ‘nimrodh’ means “let us revolt." The tendency of him must have been to rise up against, and attempt to overthrow all existing order. Perhaps, he must have used this motto so frequently in exhorting others to rebellion, that finally applied to him as a name that described  the basic trait of his character. So this inciter to revolt became a tyrant after the great flood to declare himself as the first emperor on earth.

His empire at first was Babylon (Babel), Erech, Accad, and Calneh, located in the land of Shinar; from which he pushed out into Assyria, building the great city of Nineveh and its suburbs, also Calah, and Resen which lie between Nineveh and Calah. Then in 6 BC, the Babylonian empire reaches its zenith under the rulership of King Nebuchadnezzar during Daniel's time - Genesis 10:8-12.

Today, Calah is an important city in Iraq. And Babylon stood about 90 km south of Baghdad on the banks of the Euphrates River where the present city Al Hillah, now stands. The meaning of Babylon means 'the Gate of god.' 

Further studies revealed that Nimrod is the 'chosen vessel' from the darkside , a fitted example of mortal evil. His spirit has permeated into civilizations and its presence can be felt even now at all levels of our society. It represents the PACT BETWEEN MEN AND THE POWER OF DARKNESS; where men willingly succumb to its power because of greed. What God would not give them, they would in turn get it from the opponent. They follow his foot steps ever since, building empires in greater or smaller scales; each of them are building something to make a name for themselves. (Genesis 11) 

Now, the ground work has been laid for you to understand the vision. However, I'm going to skip this and move forward to the final phase of the rebellion. Which is a more critical issue we are facing at the moment. 

The event of Babel has culminated through the rebuilding of the Tower of Babel in France, and presently they were just waiting for the right moment for the Antichrist to ascend to the throne of power in EU. Therefore, it is crucial to know and to understand the Antichrist and his plan.

Who is the Antichrist? 

In the last century, there are numerous predictions as who is the Antichrist. The more recent ones were Obama, Prince Charles, Rockefeller and the Pope and some even say Bill Gates. IMO, it is not that important to know exactly who is the Antichrist because soon he will reveal himself as the solution to the world's problems. I believe it is more important to know what the spiritual forces are doing behind the scene that is paving the way for his coming. We need to identify who are they and what are their plans so that we don't get caught by surprise.

The Lord has left us with many clues in the NT as who is the Antichrist. I John 4:3 tell us that the spirit of the Antichrist is already here. It has been in the world since the apostles' time. "But every spirit who does not acknowledge Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the Antichrist. You have heard that he is coming, and now he is already in the world." (ISV)  Thus, it is imperative for us to know the meaning of 'Antichrist'. It does not mean against Christ as in English. The word ‘anti’ in Greek means instead or because of. Often used in composition to denote contrast, requital, substitution and correspondence. In the biblical context the word usage is to replace or substitute Christ, as the Most High (Isaiah 14:12-15).

According to Terry Somerville, he warned that "when something subtly replaces Jesus Christ as the focus, it is the spirit of Antichrist at work. The reason Apostle John warns the church about the spirit is NOT that a prophet comes to speak against Christ, but that the attention is taken away from Him. Instead, it could be given to a person, a doctrine, a denomination, an organization, a cause or something else rather than the ‘Anointed’". 

The ambition of the Antichrist has never been waning since his first rebellion. In fact, it has become more intense these days. His team has been working relentlessly as time is running against them. Every quarters of evil have been activated - deceptive spirits are taking the lead. In one hand these spirits are acting as fearsome demonic power but on the other hand they are acting as "angles of light." Their priorities are to cause fear and chaos, and to deceive the world and the elect which they hate dearly.

Unfortunately, the Church has many of these "light clothing" agents running the system. For the undiscerning, they are inadvertently aiding the spirit of Antichrist to replace Jesus as the head of the Church. What they received is worship in place of God though some might not been fully aware of it. 

The deceiving spirits have manifested themselves in all segments of our society. For instance, Christian rock music, movies of the Lord of the Rings and Harry Potters are some examples. They are meant to blur the line between the holy and the profane. There is good in evil and evil can be good, “it depends on how you look at it”. Evil is no longer a scary thing, they are so familiar to us. 

Political Evidence

The Tower of Babel has been resurrected. The building was built and modeled after an original painting of Tower of Babel by the European Union in 1999 in Strasbourg, France as the Parliament of Europe. The painting was painted by a 15th century artist name Pieter Brueghel. The building was completed and in use, but the designed look unfinished. On inquiry by reporters of why the building was designed in such a way, the EU official replied, “what they failed to complete 3000 years ago, we in Europe will finish now!” Is that scary? Do you think they were just being ignorant to what they said?

According to Brian Hay, a minister of end time prophetic ministry and an executive director of Omega Times told me this: that the International Law for the One World Government has been set in place. The information he gathered was from believers who occupied the top positions in the government of Europe.

A Christian MP from UK to European Union has this to report: The Vacant Seat Number 666 in the European Parliament.

Report on the opening of the Fifth Elected Parliament of Europe in Strasbourg and its occupancy of the new Parliament Buildings. Ian R.K: Paisley, M.P., M.E.P.
Source: http://www.ianpaisley.org/article.asp?ArtKey=666

The recently elected Fifth Parliament of Europe met on Tuesday, 20th July, 1999, in its new glass building which cost the taxpayers of Europe an as yet uncalculated sum of billions of Pounds. The first meeting, due to begin at 10.00 a.m., did not start until 10.30 because the amplification system, which cost millions of Pounds, was defective. No doubt more defects in this Crystal Palace will be manifested in the days to come.

Incidentally, the Members of the European Parliament had no say whatsoever in where the building was to be located, what its design was to be, what amount of money was to be spent on it, or how it was to be furnished. The French Government forced it both upon Members of Parliament and upon the Governments of European Union countries, Germany and the United Kingdom being made to foot the exorbitant bill. These two countries are Europe's pay slaves.

The prophetic significance of the European Union has been revealed as the saga unfolds. First, the sign which it chose as its symbol was the Woman riding the Beast. This comes from a prophecy in Revelation 17. The depiction of the harlot woman was reproduced on the centenary stamp of the European Union, in a huge painting in the Parliament's new building in Brussels, and by a huge sculpture outside the new E.U. Council of Ministers Office in Brussels. The new European coinage, the Euro, bears the same insignia. The Tower of Babel has been used on the posters emanating from Europe – a truly suggestive prophetic sign. Now, a massive Crystal Palace tower (officially called the Tower Building) houses the Fifth Parliament of Europe.

It is certainly a building of the Space Age. The seats of its massive hemicycle are designed like the crew seats in the Star Trek space machines. There are 679 of them – but wait for it! While these seats are allocated to Members, one seat remains unallocated and unoccupied. The number of that seat is 666. The relevant section of the seating-plan provided to each Member reads as follows:
663 Souchet
664 Thomas-Mauro
665 Zissener
666 ------ ???
667 Cappato
668 Turco
669 Bonino
670 Pannella
Revelation 13:18: "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." That is 666.

Today this scripture has been fulfilled before our very eyes. The Antichrist's seat will be occupied soon. The world awaits his full and final development. The Lord will destroy him by the spirit of His mouth (the Word of God) and by the brightness of His coming (2 Thess 2:8). The coming of the Lord has drawn nigh.


We have now, the One World Government International Law, the seat for the false messiah is vacant in anticipation for his assumption. The campaign slogan for European Union “Many Tongues One Voice” with the zeal to rebuild the Tower of Babel and the symbol of the Woman riding on the beast (Revelation 17) was placed as monument outside the building of European Council in Brussels. What do you think all these are happening? The spirit of Babel has resurged with the  "ACT OF REBELLION AGAINST JEHOVAH" and soon he is going to reveal himself as the "messiah" to replace Christ.


Prophetic Revelations

In 2007, the Lord showed me that the coming of the Antichrist is similar to the first coming of Jesus. John the Baptist was chosen as the forerunner to prepare the way for the coming of the Messiah. He was depicted as the prophet Elijah of the old. He preached the gospel of repentance and the Kingdom of heaven; as a result many were saved and baptized into the Kingdom of God, thus, paving the way for the Messiah (Mat 3). This was to substantiate the arrival of the Messiah - Salvation for Mankind - for He is the Way, the Truth and the Life.

In similar way, the coming of the Antichrist, prophets would be used to prepare the way for his coming. However, these prophets instead of preaching repentance and kingdom of heaven they would preach licentiousness (hyper-grace) and kingdom on earth (dominion theology). The call for repentance has been removed and replaced by a distorted doctrine of extreme grace and love to promote pleasure and self-gratification over holiness and abstinence.

It is a humanist gospel that appeals to the flesh where man become the focus instead of Christ. Christ is here to serve their needs and demands and to make them happy. Their desires are mostly of the world with the aim of fulfilling their selfish ambition and a desire to succeed in acquiring wealth. They draw disciples away to the false gospel. The call is to proclaim the coming of antiChrist – Apostasy (reverse of Salvation) - for He comes to Steal, to Kill and to Destroy life. ( 2 Peter 2 and 3; Mat 7:15, 24:11, 24:24; 1John 4:1; 2 Cor 2:17, 11:13) 2 Thessalonians 2:3-4, let not anyone deceive you by any means. For that Day shall not come unless there first comes a falling away (defection from truth - apostasy), and the man of sin shall be revealed, the son of perdition, who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God, or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, setting himself forth, that he is God.

2 Corinthians 11:3-4 But I fear lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled (seduced)Eve in his craftiness, so your thoughts should be corrupted from the simplicity (naiveness) due to Christ. For if, indeed, the one coming proclaims another Jesus, whom we have not proclaimed, or if you receive another spirit, which you did not receive, or another gospel, which you never accepted, you might well endure these. 2Timothy 3:1-8, Know this also, that in the last day’s grievous times will be at hand. For men will be self-lovers, money-lovers, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, without natural affection, unyielding, false accusers, without self-control, savage, despisers of good, traitors, reckless, puffed up, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness (Hypocrisy), but denying the power (regenerating power NOT signs and wonders) of it; even TURN AWAY (Get Out) from these.  Always learning, but never being able to come to a full knowledge of the truth. But in the way Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so also these withstand (oppose) the truth, men having been corrupted in mind, found worthless concerning the faith.

This 'Babel' humanist spirit is the forerunner for the Antichrist!

DECEPTION, LIES, FALSE GOSPEL AND FALLING AWAY OF THE ELECTS PRECEDES THE COMING OF THE ANTICHRIST!

 
RESTORATION OF TRUTH, REPENTANCE AND THE COMING GREAT HARVEST PRECEDES THE SECOND COMING OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST!

Which timeline do you think we are now standing? We have to be very discerning. Worldwide revival is coming soon? Not yet! We are now at the most difficult and crucial time, a time of great deception. A time of mourning, when we see our beloved family, churches and friends unsuspectingly been drawn away to another gospel. The devil and his cohorts are all out to deceive as many as possible. 

2 Timothy 4:3-4, for a time will be when they will not endure sound doctrine, but they will heap up teachers to themselves according to their own lusts, tickling the ear. And they will turn away their ears from the truth and will be turned to myths.

1Timothy 6:3-14, if anyone teach otherwise, and do not consent to wholesome words (those of our Lord Jesus Christ), and to the doctrine according to godliness, he is proud, knowing nothing. He is sick concerning doubts and arguments, from which comes envy, strife, evil speaking, evil suspicions, meddling, of men whose minds have been corrupted and deprived (destitute: Greek - kept back by fraud) of the truth, supposing that gain (money getting) is godliness WITHDRAW from such. But godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into the world, and it is clear that we can carry nothing out. But having food and clothing, we will be content. But they who want to be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts which plunge men (BELIEVERS) into destruction and perdition. For the love of money is a root of all evils, of which some having lusted after, they were seduced from the faith and pierced themselves through with many sorrows. But you, O man of God, FLEE THESE THINGS and follow after godliness, righteousness,  faith, love, patience, and meekness. FIGHT the good fight of FAITH. LAY HOLD on eternal life (not once saved always saved), to which you are also called and have professed a good profession before many witnesses. I charge you before God (who makes all things alive) and in the sight of Christ Jesus (who witnessed the good confession to Pontius Pilate), that you KEEP THE COMMANDMENT without spot and without blame UNTIL the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ.

2 Thessalonians 1:7-9 and to give rest with us to you who are troubled, at the revealing of the Lord Jesus from Heaven with the angels of His power, in flaming fire taking vengeance on those who DO NOT KNOW GOD AND who DO NOT OBEY THE GOSPEL OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST, who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of His power…

Importance of Alignment

With the deceptive spirits at large we must be really careful of what we hear. We must test every spirit according to the Word of God. Every interpretation of the scriptures must be in agreement to the teachings and commandment of Christ. It must be in harmony with the life example of Jesus and the eternal purpose of God. Jesus is the foundation and the cornerstone of the Church. He is the Word from the beginning and the entire universe is held together by His word. Thus, the foundation of the Church must be built according to the alignment of the Cornerstone which is set by the Father as the BENCH MARK for church building. If the alignment is out of this crucial reference it will have serious implication. The higher the building goes the greater the defection would be. Upto a point when there is no retun except to demolish the entire building structure. We have to make routine check on the alignment of our foundation because it is the crucial part of our faith. The earlier we discover the error the lesser the pain we have to go through to correct it. All we need is humility and repent before the Lord and get ourselves to love the truth! (Romans 2:1-8, 2, Tim 2:24-26)

My friend, it changes my life when I received this revelation from God. With my engineering background I could understand very well the meaning shown to me. That is why there are so many different doctrines within the Body. Most of these doctrines are formed independently from the teaching and commandments of Jesus Christ. When we take our focus away from the CORNERSTONE, the focus will then swift to something else. It could be a man, a doctrine or a denomination or whatever to replace Christ.

There are good news on the other hand. The timeline is overlapping with the move of God, as Isaiah 59:19 declares, when the enemy shall comes in like a flood, the Spirit of the LORD shall lift up a standard (put to flight) against him. It was a counter measure by God for the sake of His faithful servant. A standard has been raised. A nameless and faceless generation is rising up. This remnant of people who led by the Spirit and they are the eagles waiting for this hour to counter the enemy. 

It is my prayer that you are able to discern the times and the seasons we are in. In recent times, many churches have been shaken and more are likely to be shaken in days ahead. The new generation will rise up and takeover the helm of leadership from the old wine skins. These new wine skins are the IMPROVED MODEL WITH HIGHER SPIRITUAL CAPACITY FOR THE FINAL RACE!

Therefore, don’t miss the chance, the Spirit of God will not wait for anyone unprepared. Isaiah 35:8, and a highway shall be there, and a way, and it shall be called, The Way of Holiness. The unclean shall not pass over it. And it is for them, the one going in the way; even, fools shall not go astray. Get hold of it, live a HOLY CONSECRATED life that move with the Spirit of God and experience a fresh renewal in Him.

My children, let us not love in word, or in tongue, but in deed and in  truth. If anyone among you goes astray from the truth, brothers, and anyone turns him back, know that the one turning a sinner from the error of his way will save the soul from death, and will hide a multitude of sins. (1John 3:18, James 5:19-20)

The Move of God in the Marketplace

Jonah Lee 9.07.2010

I received this revelation on 4th January, 2006. The impression came very early in the morning in a vision of a preacher preaching to a huge congregation in a mega church and I heard the word “Babel.” At first, I don't have the understanding of what it means. Then, the word came flowing out of me like the gate of a reservoir just been unleashed. The Lord began to give me the understanding of the tower of Babel which I've posted here in this blog under the title Time Before the Antichrist I and II. 

Back in 2005, September, I had a visitation from the Lord. In fact this is the second time I had experienced His visitation since I became a believer in 1981. The first experience was in 1987 while I was working in Brunei, a small country in north Borneo.  The second visitation lasted for almost 2 years with periodic interval of visitations from the Holy Spirit which He was showing me some events related to the end time and His eternal purpose. 

There is a sense of urgency in the coming days of the anti-Christ. The watchman has sounded the ram horn but many do not pay attention and some do not understand what it means.

The children of God were busy with religious activities, busy making provision for their needs and building up securities for themselves.

Thus says the LORD: "Stand by the roads, and look, and ask for the ancient paths (the road your ancestor took - CEV), where the good way is; and walks in it, and find rest for your souls. But they said, “We will not walk in it.” Also I set watchmen over you, saying, listen to the sound of the ram's horn. But they said, “We will not listen.” - Jeremiah 6:16-17

The Spirit of Babel has deceived many including the elects. Many have built and began to build “Towers of Babel”, some in big scale and some in smaller scale. Each of them are building something to make a name for themselves. They followed after the ways of Nimrod (self-rule) instead of Christ (God-rule) drinking the poison of the serpent, "you shall be as God" - Genesis 3:5.

Humanism will be the key factor that will pave the way for the coming judgment. The enemy is using it to bring God’s judgment upon His own household. Jeremiah 6:18-19, therefore hear, O nations, and know, O congregation, what will happen to them. Hear, O earth; behold, I am bringing disaster upon this people, the fruit of their devices, because they have not paid attention to my words; and as for My law, they have rejected it.

Deception has crept into the body of Christ. It works in steps and stages, it will eventually strip her naked and defile her before the return of the Bridegroom. The intention of the enemy is to put the Bridegroom to shame before the glorious day.

When the LORD spoke to me, “Gather My people in the marketplace; train, mentor and instruct them according to My way”. I didn’t have the slightest idea of how I'm going to do it. As I moved out to the marketplace He began to bring people across my path. These are the people that have gone through or still going through adversity in their lives. They have been stripped, broken and chastened by the FATHER, and yet they are not in despair, instead, they have grown stronger and are becoming more focused on the LORD and the Kingdom of God.

The LORD is preparing His people for a specific task. He is calling His people in the marketplace. He is raising up a company of people that He has kept until now for the end time purpose.

This mighty army shall take on the persons of JOSEPH and DANIEL.

They shall move in the economic marketplace and in the governmental position.

They shall carry the prophetic anointing.

They shall intercede, warn and liberate the body of Christ from being enslaved by the Spirit of Babel (Genesis 11:4).

They shall be the spiritual and financial provider for the HARVEST field.

They shall go through adversity, trials and severe testing in order to be prepared for the task that is ahead of them.

The LORD has to crucify their flesh so that He could put His power in them through the HOLY SPIRIT to accomplish His purpose in the marketplace.

This people will not compromise or take His commandment lightly. They are people with credibility and good testimonies. They are SELFLESS GENERALS waiting to charge at the sound of the LORD’s trumpet and will fully focus on the battlefield. They are the TRUSTED BOND SERVANTS of the MOST HIGH KING. (Deuteronomy 15:12-17)

They will soar like EAGLES in the economic marketplace. Enormous wealth shall pass through the hands of these servants for the fulfillment of the END TIME HARVEST.

For to the one who pleases Him God has given wisdom and knowledge and joy, but to the sinner He has given the business of gathering and collecting, only to give to one who pleases God - Ecclesiastes 2:26



JOSEPH VISION

Catherine Brown - 3 March 1999
Founder/International Director of Gatekeepers Global Ministries UK

‘But Joseph said to them, “Don’t be afraid. Am I in the place of God? You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives. So then, don’t be afraid. I will provide for you and your children.” And he reassured them and spoke kindly to them.” Gen 50:19-21

I saw many coloured and exquisite pieces of fabric rising from the nations of the earth, flowing from every corner of the globe. They were panels of vibrant colour, with every imaginable texture and shade, myriad hues of heaven glistened in their weaving. They were brought together to form a “coat of many colours”, and a magnificent angel clad in bronze was despatched from heaven with a sash to bind around the waist of the coat. I heard these words, “Joseph has always brought Me joy” and I understood that the coat represented the Joseph anointing for the ends of the age.

I saw a Cross emerge from the central axis of the earth and the angel draped the coat around the Cross, the upper horizontal beam of the Cross slotting through the arms of the coat. I realised afresh that the Cross must be at the centre of all things for God’s anointing to flow. I heard the Spirit say, “This is My Body not yet broken.”

The garment covered the nations, and the hem was being tugged causing the coat to hang unevenly in places. People were trying to pull large sections of the fabric and secure it for themselves over their own particular nation. There was division, greed, stealing and much squabbling among those who fought for larger sections of the cloth. The Spirit said, “Beware of the counterfeit reapers”. A harvest was taking place, but it was brought forth out of selfish ambition and was not of the kingdom of God.

The Spirit spoke again, “This is My Body, broken for you”. I saw the Cross on which the coat was draped be split from top to bottom, and the coat began to flow with the savior's precious blood, the colors merging into one glorious scarlet ribbon. The crack of the wood echoed in Heaven and on Earth, and the people who were squabbling over the garment were silenced and all eyes looked towards heaven and I heard these words, “My garments of Righteousness are to flow freely over and into every nation, for they were created for all nations and my Blood is for their healing. The Joseph anointing is the Father’s blessing.”

The coat was transformed into a bridal veil, and I began to understand that the Joseph anointing is the Father’s gift to the Bride of Christ and speaks of an imputation of Christ’s Righteousness to the Church through the process of sanctification. This will be birthed in the Father’s mercy and will flow from a fresh revelation of Grace. The Church must wake up to the need for her to ‘wear’ a contemporary “coat of many colors” in order that life might be preserved among the lost in every nation.

The anointing is freely given to all those who will humble themselves before God and allow the Cross of Christ to rule their lives.

CAN GOD’S LOVE FADE - Part 1

Jonah Lee 22 Feb 2011.

Most of us have this question in mind since God love us so much can His love fade away if we sin willfully?

To answer this question more accurately we need to have a correct perspective of His love. We need to understand that the Scripture says God is love but never says love is God because love is of God and love itself is not God.

Love is only one of His many attributes even though it is the greatest beside faith and hope as explained by Apostle Paul in 1 Cor 13. It is the first fruit of the Holy Spirit and it encompasses all the commandments of Christ. I believe God’s love can never fade away because it is in His nature to love, however, I believe it can be diminished by our consistent rebellion.

For example, if we willfully reject His Son and the work on the cross. Surely this will break His heart but it will also provoke Him to wrath and diminish His love in you. The Scripture tells us in Hebrews 6:4-6,

For it is impossible to keep on restoring to repentance time and again people who have once been enlightened, who have tasted the heavenly gift, who have become sharers of the Holy Spirit, who have tasted the goodness of God's word and the powers of the coming age, and who have fallen away, as long as they continue to crucify to themselves the Son of God and to expose Him to public ridicule. And again in Hebrews 10:26-31, For if we sin willfully (voluntarily, willingly) after we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remains no more sacrifice for sins, but a certain fearful looking for judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries. He who despised Moses' Law died without mercy on the word of two or three witnesses. Of how much worse punishment, do you suppose, will he be thought worthy of punishment, the one who has trampled the Son of God, and who has counted the blood of the covenant with which he was sanctified an unholy thing, and has insulted the Spirit of grace? For we know Him who has said, "Vengeance belongs to Me, I will repay, says the Lord." And again, "The Lord shall judge His people." It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.

The act is call apostasy. The word “apostasy” means: defection from truth (properly the state) - falling away, forsake, backsliding, turning away, draw back, an overturn, subverting, rebellion a person who would not hesitate to sin.

We can diminish God’s love by such behavior. These are God’s people who have tasted His love but have turned against Him because of their love for the world and sinful pleasure more than His love. 1John 2:14-16, I write to you, fathers, because you have known Him who is from the beginning. I have written to you, young men, because you are strong, and the Word of God abides in you, and you have overcome the evil one. Do not love the world, nor the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him, because all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.

These people their hearts were hardened and their consciences were seared towards the conviction of the Holy Spirit who is also the Spirit of Grace. The Scripture warned us that in the last days many Christians would fall away first, just before the coming of the Anti-Christ. They were enticed by the love of themselves, the love of money and the love this world. (2 Tim: 3)

Other examples are grieving and blasphemy against the Holy Spirit and lukewarm towards Him. These are willful acts not out of human weakness but rather they are being deceived by the enemy. Mark 3:28-29, truly I say to you, all sins shall be forgiven to the sons of men, and blasphemies with which they shall blaspheme. But he who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit never shall have forgiveness, but is liable to eternal condemnation. Blasphemy means to vilify: belittle, speak ill of, run down, libel, defame, rail on, revile, speak evil and speak impiously (disrespectful) of his nature, attributes, and works. So we have to be careful of what we speak lest we sin in our own foolishness.

In regards to the grieving of the Holy Spirit, A W Tozer has this to says: In his book The Counselor, 51-52 he says, and do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption - Ephesians 4:30. Because He is loving and kind and friendly, the Holy Spirit may be grieved.... He can be grieved because He is loving, and there must be love present before there can be grief. Suppose you had a 17-year-old son who began to go bad. He rejected your counsel and wanted to take things into his own hands. Suppose that he joined up with a young stranger from another part of the city and they got into trouble. You were called down to the police station. Your boy and another boy who you had never seen sat there in handcuffs. You know how you would feel about it. You would be sorry for the other boy but you don't love him because you don't know him. With your own son, your grief would penetrate to your heart like a sword. Only love can grieve. If those two boys were sent off to prison, you might pity the boy you didn't know, but you would grieve over the boy you knew and loved. A mother can grieve because she loves. If you don't love, you can't grieve.

Another area that could diminish His love is in Revelation 3:15-19 the Spirit of the Lord tells us, I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I would that you were cold, or hot. So, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I am about to vomit you out of My mouth. Because you say, I am rich, and I am made rich, and I have need of nothing, and do not know that you are wretched and miserable and poor and blind and naked. I advise you to buy from Me gold having been fired by fire, that you may be rich; and white garments, that you may be clothed, and your shame and nakedness may not be revealed. And anoint your eyes with eye salve that you may see. I, as many "as I love, I rebuke and I chasten." Be zealous, then, and repent! The rebuke doesn't sound so loving, isn’t it? Nonetheless, isn't this is because He loves us that He chastises us? So, that we may repent?

We often hear that GOD IS HOLY AND HOLY IS GOD. This could be described interchangeably. However, according to the Scripture we could call God a Holy God but NEVER A LOVE GOD. The reason is because holiness is the main characteristic of God so much so it has become known as His name. The entire heavenly hosts know this and worship Him by this attribute. Revelation 4:8, Isaiah. 6:3, and the four living creatures each one had six wings around, and within being full of eyes. And they had no rest day and night, saying, "Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty," the One who was, and is, and is coming! They did not say, love, love, love, Lord God Almighty, the One who was, and is, and is to come. The last part of the sentence is extremely important because it tells us that He is the same yesterday, and today and forever. He never changes for He is a Holy God. This is the most distinctive character of our God. Thus, He poses this demand to His children, “Be ye holy for I’m holy”.

In addition, we are taught by Jesus when we pray, we must first address the Father by His holy attribute. We must know Him not only by His love but who He really is. Love is just what He gives to His children. We must accept Him just as He accepted us without any condition. In this way, it will help us to know Him more intimately.

To sum it up, I would like to quote from Mike Taylor and A W Tozer:

“There’s a reason that the Wesley and Whitefield used to start by preaching God's holiness: it's an absolutely necessary foundation for understanding his grace and his love. God's holiness and our sinfulness is the backdrop against which God's love is seen. What would be so special about God forgiving our sin if he didn't care that much about it? Grace is so wonderful because it is God's response to something that he utterly, utterly detests, not something he is merely unenthusiastic about. If God were merely loving but not holy, then he would be soppy (overly sentimental or affectionate). But because God's holiness burns so hot, his love is shown in all its power.” – Mike Taylor

“Wrong ideas about God are not only the fountain from which the polluted waters of idolatry flow; they are themselves idolatrous. The idolater simply imagines things about God and acts as if they were true. Perverted notions about God soon rot the religion in which they appear. The long career of Israel demonstrates this clearly enough, and the history of the Church confirms it. So necessary to the Church is a lofty concept of God that when that concept in any measure declines, the Church with her worship and her moral standards decline along with it. The first step down for any church is taken when it surrenders its high opinion of God.

Before the Church goes into eclipse anywhere there must first be a corrupting of her simple basic theology. She simply gets a wrong answer to the question, ‘What is God like?’ and goes on from there. Though she may continue to cling to a sound nominal creed, her practical working creed has become false. The masses of her adherents come to believe that God is different from what He actually is, and that is heresy of the most insidious and deadly kind.” - A.W. Tozer, The Knowledge of the Holy (Harper Collins: San Francisco), 1961, p. 4.

The only way to know God is through His word and reading it with a right attitude and accept what is written there without reservation or a preset idea. Don't try to explain away by reasoning but rather seek Him more thoroughly through the Scripture. Prayer is another key. If we don't understand certain portion of the scriptures we need to ask of Him. The Holy Spirit is our teacher and He is ready to lead and guide us if only we ask! Sometimes, He will answer almost immediately. Other times, He will show and reveal Himself to us through life experiences to confirm His word.

We must not let human imaginations, emotions, or even experiences to influence our thinking about Him. Otherwise, we may easily ended up sweeping away by every winds and doctrines created by man to draw us away to another gospel, and thus, another God.
