Yesterday evening I was in deep thought when I heard Yahweh's voice say expiicity and clearly to turn to Lamentations 4:1, a book I have to admit I rarely read. But this is what it said:

"How the gold has become dim; how the fine gold has lost its luster! The holy stones He scattered about at the corners of the streets" (Lam.4:1, BV).

Here the gold and sacred stones of the temple of Jerusalem, destroyed by the Babylonians, are being used to depict the exiles of Judah in Babylon themselves. They have grown spiritually dim and have lost their luster. They are standing on the street corners of the City of Babylon. And Yahweh's message to me last night was that this is precisely the condition of believers, along with the Remnant amongst them, who currently share their exile but who are now emerging from it as the cleansing waters of this flood receed.

And that's the point. Once the Remnant has been fully separated out, they will no longer be standing dejected on the street corners of the world wondering what on earth they are doing or are supposed to be doing now because they will have been gathered together on mission. No longer will they be dim and lacking luster but they will be bright and polished on account of the Sukkot anointing of the Ruach haQodesh (Holy Spirit) in them!

Buoyed up by this promise, I was then taken into the Book of Ezekiel, and shown the state of those Christian and Messianic leaders not of the Remnant and why Yahweh would not hear their prayers:

"Certain elders of the city [of Babylon] came to me (the navi/prophet Ezekiel) and sat down before me. And the Davar (Word) of Yahweh came to me: 'Mortal, these men have taken their idols into their hearts, and placed their inquity as a stumbling block before them; shall I let Myself be consulted by them? Therefore speak to them, and say to them, 'Thus says Yahweh-Elohim: any of those of the house of Israel who take their idols into their hearts and place their iniquity as a stumbling block before them, and yet come to the navi (prophet) - I, Yahweh, will answer those who come with the multitude of their idols, in order that I may take hold of the hearts of the house of Israel, all of whom are estranged from Me through their idols'. Therefore say to the house of Israel, 'Thus says Yahweh-Elohim: Repent and turn away from your idols; and turn away your faces from all your abominations. For any of those of the house of Israel, or of the aliens who reside in Israel, who separate themselves from Me, taking their idols into their hearts and placing their iniquity as a stumbling block before them, and yet come to a navi (prophet) to enquire of me by him, I , Yahweh, will answer them myself. I will set My face against them; I will make them a sign and a byword and cut them off from the midst of My people; and you shall know that I am Yahweh'" (Ezek.14:1-8, NRSV).

This, then, is a davar (word) to all the leaders in the Body - elders, pastors, evangelists, bishops, 'apostles', rabbis, cohenim, overseers and the like - who, finding themselves devoid of a Davar Elohim (Word of God) and who come to a navi (prophet) seeking one while they continue to harbour idols in their hearts which become as stumbling blocks to those whom they influence or lead - unless they repent of these idolatries, they will be cut off in the midst of the great judgments that are now getting underway. And He has a similar davar (word) to all the false nevi'im (prophets) (Ezek.14:9-11)!

There is a shaking everywhere and it has been building up over the last few weeks. As far as I can see it shows no sign of abating. You are being shown in your dreams what your idols are and what it is you must repent of, both the leaders and those whom they have led astray with their false teachings and lying tongues. Now is the time to listen to your pricked consciences and to the stirrings of slumbering spirits awakening.

Now you really do not want to be the recipient of the curses that the navi (prophet) Ezekiel goes on to speak about, but you must hear about them anyway, because this is the day you have been prepared against these past months and years through the warnings you have been given. Hear it again but this time echoing from the past:

"The Davar (Word) of Yahweh came to me: 'Mortal, when a land (country, nation like the USA, EU, etc.) sins against Me by acting faithlessly, and I stretch out My hand against it, and break its staff of bread and send famine upon it, and cut off from it humanm beings and animals, even if Noah, Daniel, and Job, these three, were in it, they would save only their own lives by their righteousness, says Yahweh-Elohim. If I send wild animals through the land to ravage it, so that it be made desolate, and no one may pass through because of the animals, even if these three men were in it, as I live, says Yahweh-Elohim, they would save neither sons nor daughters; they alone would be saved, but the land would be desolate. Or if I bring a sword upon that land, and I cut off human beings and animals from it; those these three were in it, as I live, says Yahweh-Elohim, they would save neither sons nor daughters, but they alone would be saved. Or if I send a pestilence into that land and pour out My wrath upon it with blood, to cut off humans and animals from it, even if Noah, Daniel and Job were in it, as I live, says Yahweh-Elohim, they would save neither son nor daughter; they would save only their own lives by their righteousness" (Ezek.14:12-20, NRSV).

So you have been warned. Consider it a blessing that your emunah (faith) has been stretched in the days of comparitive world peace and prosperity because in the day of real trouble you will be prepared. And that day is on its way even as it has already arrived in many places of the world where the Devourer is running rampant.

A few days ago Yahweh showed me a vision of a bow that had been stretched as far as it could be stretched, as far as I could tell, and when I asked Him to tell me the meaning of the vision, He reminded me of an old revelation He had given me in 1996, wherein He had said:

"Though you be armed with the bows of emunah (faith) and with the arrows of light and emet (truth)...if you are not obedient to My mitzvot (commandments) you shall be turned back at the day of battle. Therefore...if you do not keep the Covenant and if you refuse to live by My Torah (Law), behold, My protecting and guiding hand will not be with you, and you will be left to rely on your own strength, and will fail" (Olive Branch 431:1-2).

I think most of you are by now realising, as we end the final count, that we can no longer do things as we once did. Particularly here in the West, which experienced relative ease and prosperity for so long thanks to imperial wealth and power, not always acquired honestly, that is now crumbling. The time for reliance on the welfare system of the state is also crumbling which means that, as in years gone by, generations ago, we must once again live by emunah (faith) and start to rely on Yahweh's Covenant of Miracles that may be appropriated by the righteous. Perhaps that is why, back in 1996, Yahweh went on to ask:

"With Elohim (God) all things are possible, for did I not divide the sea and lead Israel through? Did I not make the water stand as a wall? Did I not guide Israel with a cloud by day and with a light from the fire by night? Did I not split the rocks in the desert and give her water as abundant as the seas? Did I not bring streams out of a rocky crag and make water flow down like rivers? And shall I, Yahweh, not lead the New Covenant Christians (Messianic Evangelicals) unto refreshing waters in the desert of the northern lands?" (vv.3-7)

What, then, must we do, in order to win the favour of Heaven, that we might live in this manner and receive His abundant blessings? It is not a new formula but an age-long and very simple one:

"Truly, truly, I say to you: If you will utterly forsake the world, throwing yourselves into My care in all things by putting aside your vanity, your rebellious tendencies, and your covetousness, behold, I will do a mighty work and a wonder this day, says Yahweh. But you must be of one mind and one heart, doubting nothing, surrendering your souls completely to Me. And behold, if you will do this, I will endow you from on high and you shall see the glory of Yahhweh, and come to Zion" (vv.8-10).

The conditions needed for the final gathering will present themselves sequentially and in good order as world events continue to unfold. Back then, in 1996, we thought it was going to happen at that time, having little or no idea of the spiritual preparation that would be needed for a day such as this. And though there will be no final gathering in my day, it will not be that far off, and certainly within the generation of our children who have been brought into the world and raised for this day.

The problem that we have right now is two-fold. First, there are those who are so busy, busy, busy pursuing their own religious agendas that they are not listening to Yahweh's Voice even though they think they are, and will have no clue how to respond when they discover they have been pursuing psychic wind in the power of a false messiah whilst using the Name and Scriptures of the true One. Second, there are those who have been so lazy as to have done no preparing whatsoever and will be overwhelmed when the big changes descend. Like a crab on the seashore, they will be swept away by the first breaker that falls on them. I really, really feel sorry for those who have abandoned the Elohim (God) of the Bible at such a critical hour and invented their own one, because their own one will have about as much power to save as an origami cut-out. They won't even know what's hit them.

But even at this late hour, it is not too late to repent and make radical changes in your life. It just means that you must surrender a lot more and a lot faster than you might have wished or planned. Your attitude must be like one who is standing before a giant tsunami and begging Yahweh to rescue you before you are swept away. People do get rescued in the face of what may seem an impossibile situation.

The captain of a steamer in the Dutch East Indies, now Indonesia, faced such a crisis when Krakatoa erupted in 1883. A lot of people died in that disaster. He ordered his passengers to tie themselves with ropes and belts to anything solid that was anchored securely to the ship and instead of following the gut reaction of fear, which would have been to flee away from the giant wave, he turned his vessel and steamed right into the tsunami, lashing himself to the bridge. All the glass was smashed by the giant wave and the ship climbed to an almost vertical position, but he held onto the wheel and steered his ship into the potential disaster. He and his passengers, though severely battered, all survived because of their obedience and his faith.

I fear the majority will reflexly turn and flee what is coming instead of turning and facing the adversity in emunah (faith), trusting in the resurrection power of the Master. I have seen it in vision, I saw their terror, but you cannot afford to do that. You must dismiss your timidity and cowardice, especially you men, and suddenly grow up, for these times will make many mice into real men of Elohim (God).

You have no idea what is coming, have you? No idea. You wouldn't believe me in any case if I told you some of the things that are coming. Perhaps you should have watched some of the science fiction movies and series out there. The élites always announce what they are going to do in advance because they are forced to. The signs were always available for all to see, 'hidden' in obvious places. Some of you know, or at least have an inkling, and you will be better prepared than most.

How, for instance, will you deal with the children of so-called 'alien abductees' who, though looking for the most part outwardly like human beings, are in actual fact nephilim hybrids? Thousands of these have already reached adulthood and the earth will rapidly start filling with more and more of them [1].

If you have not watched the three-part SciFi series, Childhood's End and want some clues as to what to expect in part, you should take a look at it. It's far from what will exactly happen but some of it will. But be warned - there a very dark spirit in it which, if you are psychically senstitive, you will tangibly feel and it may disturb you. If you're into the evangelical Rapture Delusion you might learn something of profit for I guarantee that Satan will be putting on a big show for every false doctrine you ever believed in that will at first convince you that you were right in order to trap you in a net you'll not easily get out of.

So what will you do? Will you persist in your vain confidence and idolatry? Will you remain asleep, refusing to choose? Will you continue like a heard of wild cattle heading for the cliff of destruction? For either way, you will be swept away if you do not make teshuvah (repent)! A different kind of 'exile' awaits you in your very own countries! You have been in exile these long years already but didn't know it. That is why I say a different kind of 'exile' awaits you. Formerly you were prisoners in a guilded cage but now the cage changes, its false gold grows dim and its luster fades, revealing what your prison really was all along.

Therefore Yahweh says:

"Repent, then, and turn to Elohim (God), so that your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may come from Yahweh, and that He may send the Messiah, who has been appointed for you - even Yah'shua (Jesus)" (Acts 3:19-20, NIV).
