A week ago, on Roman 15 November, I was shown the following vision which I did not understand until now. In the vision I saw three identical thrones, side by side, with a small gap between them. The throne on end on the right was occupied by what looked like an Egyptian king or Pharaoh. The other two were also occupied, but only by half persons, for there was nothing of them save their waites, legs and feet - the upper part of the torso, including the arms, hands and head, were absent, as though neatly sliced across, though they did not appear to be made of flesh and blood. They looked ready to build on top, like half constructed statues.

Historically, Israel has had three principle enemies: Egypt (which held the whole of the 12-tribed nation captive but from which it escaped under Moses), Assyria (which deported the northern ten tribes of Joseph-Ephraim who have never returned) and Babylon (who deported the southern two tribes led by Judah, who in part returned for a while). A fourth Roman power scattered the returned Judahites and Benjaminites for good also, though the world has been fooled into believing that they have returned and now have their own country in the Middle East. They do not.

The vision initially confused me because I could not at first determine whether the two 'half kings' had previously been whole and had been cut in half, or whether they were only 'half built', as it were, being still 'under construction'. Moreover, I could not at first understand why two of them were either raised or cut down at the same time, and why they were different from Egypt. It was relatively easy to understand that the other two kings were the Assyrian and Babylonian powers, respectively, and in that order after Egypt, for it was in this order that three three pagan nations of Egypt, Assyria and Babylonia oppressed and enslaved Israel when she apostacised. The answer as to why two of the kings or the powers they represent arise (as I subsequently had wit´nessed to me) simultaneously is given in the understanding of the present prophetic cycle, because both Northern Israel-Joseph and Judah are simultaneously in diaspora and neither are yet gathered in spite of the deception that Judah is (at least partially) gathered in the Holy Land today. As I have said many times now, it is not possible to understand current events by trying to use the Zionist model and currently misapplied Messianic and Evangelical Christian markers, whether representing just Judah or (as the Jews themselves claim) the other ten tribes (representationally).

This is the meaning of the vision. The 'Egyptian' oppressive power today rules in the world. It is this global power that oppresses believers everywhere and is now in full operation globally. All the House of Israel are oppressed by it. But two other powers, represented by Assyria and Babylon, are arising simultaneously and are half completed, but their oppression will be specific to the dispersed ten tribes and Judah, respectively. When this trinity of powers arises in its completeness, then the oppression will attain its maximum force and impact against Yahweh's people.

It is important to understand the difference between the three, that one is here already and will remain. The first, or 'Egyptian' power, is both an enslaving and assimilating power inasmuch as it gradually turns those lawless believers under it influence into 'Egyptians'. The Israelites who left Egypt under Moses were Egyptians culturally and religiously, and it took a whole generation a full 40 years to burn that corrupt culture out of their souls, requiring, in fact, another generation to arise to inherit the Promised Land (plus the two men of the first generation, Joshua and Caleb) fully immersed in the Israelite Besorah (Gospel) way of thinking, feeling and behaving as they walked in one Ruach (Spirit).

The modern Second and Final Exodus began last spring and will 'wander' until the modern global culture of New Age liberalism, false Christianity and Messianism, and atheism is fully burned out of them, as we have already been told, and will be led supernaturally and experience great miracles - greater by many orders of magnitude and in number than the First Exodus according to the "covenant of marvels" (Ex.34:10, KJV):

"Behold, I make a b'rit (covenant). Before all your people I will do marvels such as have not been done in all the earth, nor in any nation; and all the people among whom you are shall see the work of Yahweh. For it is an awesome thing that I will do with you" (Ex.34:10, NKJV).

But two other satanic powers will be brought to bear against Yahweh's people also, the modern equivalent of Assyria (which will be directed against the ten tribes currently in diaspora) and the modern version of Babylon (which will be directed against the two other tribes also in diaspora). The ten tribes will be led by a modern 'Joshua' and the two tribes by a modern 'Caleb', the Judah-adopted Edomite (descendant of Esau), that is to say in all likelihood, one who is known in modern parlance as a messianic 'Jew'. They will come from different directions from around the planet, from the Israelite lands as far afield as the USA in the north and west, Britain in the centre-north, New Zealand in the south and east, and South Africa in the centre-south (relative to the Holy land), all of whom who will converge on the Promised Land after a preliminary joint gathering in the "Land of the North" (Zec.6:8) [1] where the today battles are being orchestrated by fallen West Manasseh (the USA) and allies through its ISIS proxy in northern Syria and Iraq. I mention only four directions on the globe where they are coming from though in reality they are coming from a total of ten that also include Africa (viâ Egypt), Asia, Russia, South America, the rest of Europe, etc..

The true Judah and Benjamin will likewise be gathering from two or more directions and will assemble together with the ten tribes in the Land of the North where the two "sticks" of Ephraim and Judah, described by the navi (prophets) Ezekiel, will be joined together as One Stick and One Company of twelve-tribed Israel prior to their final journey south to the Promised Land:

"As for you, son of man, take a stick for yourself and write on it: 'For Judah and for the children of Israel, his companions.' Then take another stick and write on it, 'For Joseph, the stick of Ephraim, and for all the house of Israel, his companions.' Then join them one to another for yourself into one stick, and they will become one in your hand.

"And when the children of your people speak to you, saying, 'Will you not show us what you mean by these?'-- say to them, 'Thus says Yahweh-Elohim: "Surely I will take the stick of Joseph, which is in the hand of Ephraim, and the tribes of Israel, his companions; and I will join them with it, with the stick of Judah, and make them one stick, and they will be one in My hand.' And the sticks on which you write will be in your hand before their eyes. Then say to them, 'Thus says Yahweh-Elohim: 'Surely I will take the children of Israel from among the nations, wherever they have gone, and will gather them from every side and bring them into their own land; and I will make them one nation in the land, on the mountains of Israel; and one king shall be king over them all; they shall no longer be two nations, nor shall they ever be divided into two kingdoms again. They shall not defile themselves anymore with their idols, nor with their detestable things, nor with any of their transgressions; but I will deliver them from all their dwelling places in which they have sinned, and will cleanse them. Then they shall be My people, and I will be their Elohim (God)''" (Ezek.37:16-23, NKJV)

Now you need not suppose that the 12 tribes will be any less vigorously by the modern 'Babylonian' and 'Assyrian' powers than they were in the First Exodus, but will return in such almighty power and with such incredible miracles being displayed from Heaven that these demonic powers will be defeated, along with the modern 'Egyptian' power at the same time. The children of Israel will be cast out, pursued and hunted down from every place they leave in their trek to the Promised Land, but Yahweh will follow them once again with pillars of cloud by day and pillars of fire by night.

Do you believe this? Then believe the nevi'im (prophets) who have spoken about these things in times past:

"'And in that day there shall be a Root of Jesse (Yah'shua/Jesus), Who shall stand as a banner to the people; for the Gentiles shall seek Him, and His resting place shall be glorious'. It shall come to pass in that day that Yahweh shall set His hand again the second time to recover the remnant of His people who are left, from Assyria and Egypt, from Pathros and Cush, from Elam and Shinar, from Hamath and the islands of the sea. He will set up a banner for the nations, and will assemble the outcasts of Israel, and gather together the dispersed of Judah from the four corners of the earth. Also the envy of Ephraim shall depart, and the adversaries of Judah shall be cut off; Ephraim shall not envy Judah, and Judah shall not harass (oppress) Ephraim. But they shall fly down upon the shoulder of the Philistines toward the west; together they shall plunder the people of the East; they shall lay their hand on Edom and Moab; and the people of Ammon shall obey them. Yahweh will utterly destroy the tongue of the Sea of Egypt; with His mighty wind He will shake His fist over the River [Euphrates], and strike it in the seven streams, and make men cross over dry-shod. There will be a highway for the remnant of His people who will be left from Assyria (Land of the North), as it was for Israel in the day that he came up from the land of Egypt" (Isa.11:10-16, NKJV).

The king sits on the Egyptian throne today because he will be a real presence for the next 40 years. The Assyrian and Babylonian thrones will not be occupied until later, because their opposition to Israel will come well after the commencement of the Second Exodus. Though it is impossible to know for certain how long the latter-day Assyro-Babylonian power will come against the Twelve Tribes united, or in exactly what form, judging by the fact that the bodies of the kings were only half complete, we may speculate that they will come into operation against returning Messianic Israel for half of 40 years, that is to say, for 20 years, assuming the 40 years is literal and not symbolic or some other unknown number. The soujourn of Israel in the Land of the North, in what is probably southern Turkey, Syria and Iraq, and perhaps even part of Iran (Persia), may therefore conceivably be for up to half a generation.

The gathering of the Tribes to its 'launching pad' into the Promised Land, the Land of the North, in current day Iraq, Syria and Turkey - is therefore a critical element in our understanding of eschatology or doctrine of the end times. Judging by the opposition it receives, it cannot be after the Great Tribulation and Second Coming, but must be before the former or during it. I tend to subscribe to the latter position for the simple reason millions of people worldwide aren't suddenly going to leave their countries unless compelled to in order to save their lives and given supernatural signs such as received by Moses to demonstrate Yah's supernatural protective Hand. Whilst the leadership of the twelve tribes [2] will have voluntarily gathered themselves beforehand into the Twelve Cities of Refuge which we call The Final Gathering, and will be closely tuned to every mitzvah (command) of Elohim (God) pertaining to the Second Exodus to the Land of the North, the broad believing masses, like their Israelite forefathers in Egypt before them, will almost certainly not be. The latter are many or most of those Christian and Messianic believers, authentically born again, but who are not fully Torah-obedient, spiritually-tuned or revelation-compliant. The rest, as Scripture attests, fall foul of the Anti-Messiah's (Antichrist's) murderous design in the Great Tribulation which they most move through (there is NO rapture!). Moreover, they will almost certainly have experienced persecution and violence in the nations before they leave as part of the production of that godly character [4] which will qualify them, and the last generation in particular, for the complete Second Exodus project.

The current desolation we see in Syria, Iraq and elsewhere in the Arab and Kurdish Middle East, caused by Islamic conflict, is, I believe, part of the preparation of this territory for the reception of the 12 Tribes when they gather there from the 12 Cities of Refuge (the leaders) and from the Israelite nations and regions (the remainder). A parallel desolation in the modern Edomite Republic of Israel counterfeit must likewise preceed the arrival from the Land of the North and be cleased of its idolatry and 'modern' Canaanites pretending to be Elohim's (God's) elect [3]. This is the only way the Messianic Bride can be tested and readied for the Heavenly Bridegroom [5].

So many things will be happening simultaneously over the coming years that without the Ruach haQodesh (Holy Spirit) and wise leadership it will be difficult to make sense of it all. Certainly one way that believers need to re-orient themselves mentally is to accept and prophetically juxtapose the emet (truth) of the Land of the North Gathering (Jer.23), the formation of last-days Babylon (New World Order system - Zech.5), the mass apostacy of Christendom as it embraces the One World Religion, the revelation of the Man of Sin (2 Thess.2:3), the massive weather and geographical changes that are going to impact the earth and eradicate nations and peoples and create new continents, the mass invasion of the planet by demons and demon-human hybrids (the nephilim), new super-technologies in the hands of the élites 25-30 years ahead of anything the masses have been given hitherto, huge cosmic changes and interferences (asteroids, comets, UFOs, etc.), and much more besides. They have got to mentally adjust to the idea of a dangerous adventure and spectacle that will more than match any of the fantasies that Hollywood has ever produced in terms of the massive migration of Yahweh's people from the four quarters of the world to a single, devastated location. And then, having arrived in the Promised Land, they may well have to face a massive assault by the Anti-Messiah (Antichrist) forces that includes an invasion of the newly occupied Holy Land and seige of Jerusalem in which vast numbers perish right before Messiah returns to end the age and begin the Millennium.

Are you prepared for this? Probably not - in fact, almost certainly not, which is why Yahweh, in His grace, has extended enough time to prepare - a whole generation, in fact. The physical Exodus itself is hard to conceive and though there are clues in the Scriptures and in our own Olive Branch revelations [6], even these barely scratch the surface, offering a dim pin-prick view of what is coming.

The children of Messianic Israel as they gather to the Land of the North will likely pass through many countries and by means of many supernaturally-generated highways over land, sea and perhaps even air. You know of the parting of the Red Sea (Yam Suf, Sea of Reeds) and of the River Jordan, but these were little happenings compared to the appearance of land masses in the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans that will rise, land bridges between Australia and the Indonesian islands connecting Malaysia appearing out of the depths of the sea, of ice bridges supernaturally forming across the Bering Straits and between Canada and Greenland, between Greenland and Iceland, and between Iceland and Scandinavia and Britain, so say nothing of the sinking and disappearance of land in North America and elsewhere. The Bible itself speaks of seven river partings over the Euphrates at this time! I will speak more of these things at another appropriate time. Do such things elicit a chuckle of disbelief, of incredulence, even mockery? If so, I can understand. But when they do happen, you will remember these words, and the words of many nevi'im (prophets) in days to come.

What of technology and spiritual gifts in the Second Exodus that are hitherto unknown? I won't even tread there other than to hint that for the authentic firstborn there will be no physical obstacles and so such arduous and danger-ridden journeys will not necessarily be required. You will see flying craft the likes of which you have never seen before, and doubtless some of you will use them or ride in them. Let me just say that today's world will, in a matter of a few decades, be nothing like today's.

I leave you with these thoughts to ponder and digest. You should at the very least prepare your minds so there is not too much 'culture shock' when everything starts unfolding like an avalanche. If you think prepping to be a trial, then you truly have a rude awakening when you realise what the next generation will have to do in order to prepare! It is but preparatory for the greater things yet to be revealed. May the Ruach (Spirit) guide you until I speak more of these things again. Amen.
