"Hoofbeats of Revelation"




"And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea,
having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns,
and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.  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."
(Revelation 13:1-2)

John saw this vision when he was boiled in oil and banished to the Isle of Patmos.  We know that satan is the power behind this beast, which is a world empire, and satan is the dragon.  This chapter is better understood when taken in context of the Book of Daniel.  The seven heads of the beast represent seven gentile world empires.  The ten horns represent 10 nations of the EU or European Union; they will be joined together in a New world order in one central government, constitution, and currency.  It will be a revived Roman empire.  This will all be governed by the Antichrist, who is alive now and about to move upon the scene.  All is being prepared for the seven year rule of the antichrist  ...  the scanners are in grocery stores to scan the hand or forehead for the "666" code, the cameras are on the stop lights to track down believers who played with their consecration and "missed" the Rapture, the drones are in force to locate those who refuse to take the mark of "666," the One world currency is on the horizon  ... it's a set up to fulfill the ticking clock of prophecy  ...   

"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)
 

The Antichrist, who will be possessed by satan, will die of a head
wound, but he will be raised back to life by the evil powers of satan.  People all over the world, who refused to believe the truth of the gospel of Jesus Christ, will wonder after and be deceived by, the Antichrist.  He will enter the temple of God and claim to be God incarnated.  The world, during this seven year Tribulation period will be totally taken in by his evil and incredible supernatural powers.  There will be some, who did not go up in the Rapture, who will see the truth and come to Jesus Christ; however, they will have to die for their faith.  Everyone else will take the mark of the beast, 666, and once someone receives this mark, either in the hand or forehead, he is completely possessed by satan and can never be saved by Jesus Christ.


  "And they worshiped the dragon which gave power unto the beast:
and they worshiped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast?
Who is able to make war with him?  And there was given unto him 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 13:4-6)
 

"And he 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)

 
 

What does all this mean?  It means everything is fast moving to a one-world government, a one-world currency, a one-world system ruled by satan in its finality.  We must get right, stay right, and get filled up to go up.  That's a catchy way of saying it, but this is dead serious!  All of these things will happen; chips are being implanted now, today, for various reasons: pet location, military, and other things, but it is just a precursor to the "666" chip that will be implanted in people for satan to take possession of "his own."  Once someone takes the "mark of the beast," there is no hope of salvation for him. 


You say, "I think this all sounds somewhat strange and far out to me; I'm not sure if I believe it or understand it."  Do you believe the headlines in the News?  Do you believe the scanners set up in all the stores to scan your groceries, which will eventually be used to scan the hand and/or forehead?  Do you believe the intrusive cameras already positioned on the stoplights, and soon to be other places, to eventually track believers in Christ?  Do you believe the turmoil in the Middle East, as prophesied in the Holy Bible?  Do you believe and remember the News talking about one-world currency?  When your Holy Bible matches your own headlines, it's time to not only believe, but get ready.
 
 

What must we do?  Repent of all sins, sincerely and sorrowfully, be baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and receive the Holy Ghost and speak in tongues as the Spirit of God gives you utterance.  How do you receive the Holy Ghost?  It begins with praise; you thank Him for His grace and love and everything you have and are; ask Him to fill you with His Spirit and continue praising Him with your whole heart.  Words will come into your mind that you do not know, and you speak them out.  No one can tell you what to say, or how to say it; it is the Spirit of Almighty God, and it comes to you from Him.  Have a minister of the gospel lay hands on you, and have others pray for you, or simply kneel in your home and ask Him to fill you.  If it doesn't happen right away, keep praying until you receive it.  You will! 

The year 2017 is one year closer to the fulfillment of all things. The Rapture will occur before all the horrors of Revelation's tribulation period, and the saved in Jesus Christ will be caught away to be with Him, before the "Hoofbeats of Revelation."

"Coming In The Winds"


"Awake, O north wind; and come, you south; blow upon
my garden, that its spices may flow out..."
(Song of Solomon 4:16)


Come, my love, my Lord; let Your breath softly skim
the cheeks of Your bride so fair
Her garments are white and ready for her bridegroom;
as Your south wind caresses her hair
O, You're her love, her King, and she dances with glee
at the thought of Your arrival
The engagement's been so long; she's longing for Your
presence to fulfill this betrothal
In breezes of fragrant scents, Your visits entice Her
waiting love, and cause her to dance
The eternal lover of her soul is coming; she scans the skies
for Her beloved, with every fleeting glance
Come, Lord Jesus, she cries; "Maranatha" is her song,
 and the reason for her pleas
It's the craving of His Bride in the throes of rabid worship,
as she skips and leaps among the leas
The weaving of her waltz, and billowing of her scarves,
beckon the winds to bring forth her love
Her heart beats with loving passion, for the whispers of her
soul, carried by wafts from above
O, South wind blow, and carry my Lord to the ready air in
waiting, and catch away Your Bride
She's prepared her Hope Chest; it's full of earthly treasures,
it's time, now,  for her groom by her side
O, Lord, she'll dance in the glories of Your splendor, as
she breathes in Your power and wonder
Your brightness and glory have adorned her with beauty beyond
measure; her praises shout with thunder
Come quickly, Lord Jesus, is the echoing urgent sound from
earth; the created "dust" is impatient
The wondering world is noticing Your bride's cries; they're so
boisterous, flagrant and blatant
She's become so conspicuous in her songs of worship, and
the world seeks to know the cause
While heaven's curious angels lean over the banisters, their
feathery wings clapping in ethereal applause
It's simple, the bride gladly says; it's time for the skies to open,
and the commotion the Groom will send
For when He comes, the rolling clouds will part; and He'll catch
away His bride; He's "Coming in the Winds."

"The Watchman"




"But if the watchman sees the sword coming and does not blow the trumpet, so that the people are not warned, and the sword comes and takes any one of them, that person is taken away in his iniquity, but his blood I will require at the watchman's hand."
(Ezekiel 33:6)


"The mystery of the seven stars which thou sawest in my right hand,
and the seven golden candlesticks.  The seven stars are the angels of
the seven churches: and the seven candlesticks which thou
sawest are the seven churches." 
(Revelation 1:20)

"Is my Pastor an angel?" you ask.  You better believe he is!  The Holy Bible says that he is; the "angels" of the seven churches are the "Pastors" of the seven churches in the Book of Revelation.  He is the most valuable person in your life!  He watches for your soul!  He stands in the gap between us and God; He hatches us, patches us, and dispatches us!  Who do we call when we get  that terrible diagnosis; who do we run to when we need help reaching Almighty God in a big way?  He is alert, armed in Word and Spirit, and He is ever and continually, faithfully standing upon the wall, guarding our very souls, protecting us from the wolves, praying for us, giving an account for us, battling for us, laying hands on us, covering us, protecting us, going before us, rising in the early morning hours to intercede for us, and he is "The Watchman."

Moses on the mountain
"For the Lord does nothing without revealing his secret
to his servants the prophets."
(Amos 3:7)

Mighty Moses, the prophet, the Watchman of Israel, had quite a flock to watch over.  So do our Godly, anointed, called and chosen Pastors, as they watch for our souls.  Why do we need a watchman?  "For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places."  (Ephesians 6:12)  What heavenly places?  There are three heavens: the clouds and sky we readily see are the first heaven; above that is the second heaven which is satan's domain; and the throne room of God is the third heaven.  This is where the term "pray through" comes from.  We, in earth, must "pray through" the second heaven or the devil's territory, to get to God. 


Praying is WAR; it's not "lay me down to sleep" two- minute, moments of storybook rituals; it is a battle, and sometimes it takes many hours on the knees in prayer, seeking, and searching the Word, for us to have the feeling that we have actually "broken through" that second heaven.  Our Watchman, our Pastor, is adept at reaching God, because he spends many hours a day praying for his flock, this fallen world, and the kingdoms of this world.  If you do not have a Pastor who does this, FIND ONE  ...  And find one who preaches exactly what the Apostles Paul and Peter preached in the Book of Acts.  Time is short before the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ, before the Rapture of the Church, before the terrible Tribulation period  ...  it is essential that we, all of us, have a Watchman!  

"Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the
spirits to see whether they are from God, for
many false prophets have gone out into the world."
(I John 4:1)


You say, "I just don't believe anybody would follow a false prophet."  No?  What about the hundreds years ago who followed Jim Jones and they all committed suicide, men, women and children, from his false-teaching, lies, beguiling words, and hellish commands so many years ago?  How do we "test the spirits?"  We first must be filled with the Holy Spirit of Jesus Christ our Lord, with the evidence of speaking in tongues as His Spirit gives us the utterance.  We, then, can have the gift of "discerning of spirits" to determine the source of a spiritual manifestation: ie whether it is of God (Acts 10:30-35); whether it is of the devil (Acts 16: 16-18); of man (Acts 18:18-23); or of the world.  This is not reading the mind, some kind of psychic ability, or a form of criticism.  This is an anointing in the Spirit of Almighty God.  Entire so-called religions have been established based on an "angelic visitation."  Demonic angels exist; they were cast out of heaven with satan, and they go about deceiving.  Whose voice do you hear?  Is that word from the Lord?  We must have wisdom to know what is demonic and what is truly of the Lord Jesus Christ.  

                                
                                                        Testing the Spirit:

                                    What does the person do?  In Matthew 7:15-20
                                                      Jesus explained that false prophets are known
                                                                    by their fruit, their actions.

                                                   Does the person exalt the Lord Jesus Christ as the
                                                             Lord and Savior?  I Corinthians 12:3

                                                   What does the person say?  Do their words line up
                                                         with the truth of God's Word?  I John 4:1-3

                                                    



The Spirit, or Holy Ghost gives us the ability to discern other spirits, and the Spirit of God bears witness with our spirit when something is, or is not, of God.  Sometimes this takes much prayer and fasting; other times, it is immediate.  We know that we know.  These are things obtained through growth in the Lord, and disciplined searching and seeking.  God will never say anything other than what is already in His Word.  And, as my very wise Pastor has said many times, "If someone is pulling fire out of heaven (miracles, signs, and wonders); you better find out his doctrine."  Doctrine is EVERYT'HING; we are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Jesus Christ as the chief cornerstone.  (Ephesians 2:20)

                                                           
"Obey your leaders and submit to them, for they
are keeping watch over your souls, as those who
will have to give an account.  Let them do this
with joy and not with groaning, for that would
be of no advantage to you."
(Hebrews 13:17)


Oh, how thankful we should be for the Watchman of our souls, the Pastor who brings us salvation, lays hands on us to be filled with the Holy Ghost, who buries us in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ in baptism, who marries us, dedicates our babies, buries us with words of "thou good and faithful servant," who fights the wolves from his flock, who keeps us from drowning in waters too swift and too deep  ...  but goes upstream and dams it up for "still" waters, who checks us daily for "burrs" in our thick wool, who fills the snake holes with oil and then anoints us with oil so that when the snake smells the oil, it flees  ...  Ah, our Shepherd in earth, our Pastor, our Watchman  ...  Night and day, he's on the wall  ...

"For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom
knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of
preaching to save them that believe."
(I Corinthians 1:21)


Barnes notes' explains it most perfectly, "By the foolishness of preaching - Not by 'foolish preaching,' but by the preaching of the cross, which was regarded as foolish and absurd by the people of the world.  The plan is wise, but it has been esteemed by the mass of people, and was particularly so esteemed by the Greek philosophers, to be egregiously foolish and ridiculous."

Well said, Brother Barnes!  That so-called "foolishness" kept "me" from suicide and a torrential burning hell.  So, I say, PREACH IT, Watchman, PREACH IT Pastor, PREACH IT!


We are admonished in the Book of Luke 21:36, "But stay awake at all times, praying that you may have strength to escape all these things that are going to take place, and to stand before the Son of Man."  Who keeps us awake?  Who blows the trumpet in Zion?  Who walks the wall in the weary moonlight hours?  Who warns, exhorts, corrects, prophesies, and preaches?  Who will say, "It is time; He is even at the door?"  Who will Awaken the world?  Who will keep us alert to the times?  Who will speak prophetically at the appropriate season?  ...  "The Watchman."
