Shabbat shalom kol beit Yisra'el and mishpachah and may the grace of our Master, Yah'shua the Messiah (Jesus Christ), be with us all this sabbath day.

I had meant today's message to be given to you a couple of days after my last Rosh Chodesh sermon but the Ruach (Spirit) kept holding me back in spite of the urgency I felt to urge people to be ready for what is about to come upon the world, and in particular, America.

Though I am not myself American, I have family there, not to mention many friends, so I feel a personal connection to all of you from the USA. It grieves me therefore that I should be sharing such a message at all. And though I know you have plenty of your own nevi'im (prophets) saying similar things, evidently Yahweh wants my voice added to the chorus of warnings too. Here is one such prophetic voice, from a man called Shane Rössiger, which which I concur completely. His message is very simple. Here is a sample of what he is giving out:

"The black and the white are significant for My House. No more compromising. This is how I see things. My people whom I shall call out from among them. It's not about man. I will pour out this new wine upon those who have this new skin. I will destroy every little fox. Those who have become like Eli and could not hear My voice and [who] let these compromising things go on in My House. They will spiritually perish and will cause My glory to be lifted. I am raising up these men and women in this day. They will obey Me rather than man. They will be men and women who know the difference between good and God (Elohim)."

He has still to come out of the church system but the general message is correct. There are many more like him and they are all in different places theologically and spiritually because the exodus from the Beast System is not uniform. Not everybody is at the same place, which is how it must be. As these individuals and small groups become visible - as they are heard and become known - so they will be attracted to one another, especially those who are in similar places. Amongst these, leaders will arise, and these leaders will be drawn to one another, because they will recognise the same Ruach (Spirit) and heart in one another - a desire for purity and all emet (truth) in Yah'shua (Jesus) - and Yah'shua (Jesus) alone. They will be surprised, and for a while, disturbed by their theological differences, but be humble enough to recognise that the Restoration is not even, even as the Body has many parts. Out of all these the Twelve Princes of Israel will arise and amongst them the Prince of the House of Joseph who will unite them all together. For now, at any rate, their strength will be in their diversity and scattered state, so that the Enemy might not strike down the shepherds in one pasture and so scatter the entire flock. There is wisdom in the way this will come together.

It is not for me, or anyone else, to send you to one particular person or group. That is not the business of any of the shepherds. It is your business to find out to whom Yahweh is leading you and to go there for fellowship, instruction and praise, even if it may not make a lot of sense to you initially, even if some of the teachings may frighten you at first. This gathering is not to anything you may be familiar with in the churches or messianic assemblies for though there are, inevitably, some similarities, there are also great differences on account of the traditions of men being in those places the Remnant is exiting. So don't be afraid, listen carefully to the Ruach (Spirit) and respond affirmatively. You will need to have courage.

One thing I can absolutely testify to you at present, and it's this: there is no single gathering place. There is wisdom in this. For now there are hundreds, maybe even thousands, but these numbers will shrink as different groups gradually coalesce into the Twelve Gathering Places of the Tribes of Messianic Israel. No doubt mistakes will be made, some groups will be counterfeit and some mergers may be forced by the hand of man, only to break up again, for the Enemy will not be asleep, but attempt to hinder, confuse and scatter. That is why you have to be especially alert.

The greatest movement in the formation of these groups will occur immediately after the Great Destruction. Right now Yahweh is pulling out individuals and sending them here or there to be with other individuals or very small groups. If you are looking for large congregations and are being 'led' to them, then you are most likely following the wrong spiritual 'scent'. It's not working like that at present. I hear of revivals here and there involving hundreds and thousands of people (there is one, I am told, happening amongst fundamentalist Baptists in North Carolina right now), and whilst Yahweh may well be doing something amongst conventional believers, to the extent that they are open to Him, this is not the activity going on among the Remnant at this time, though who can say if there is not an exception here or there. We absolutely do not know everything, and nor would anyone in his right mind want to. The current diffusion works to our advantage for now while the Illuminist 'Empire' slowly dies and awaits its overthrow through Yahweh's agents, human as well as natural. The balance of world power is about to shift dramatically and violently.

This is, as I said, a supplement to the Vision of the Burning Tree & Judgment given to you last week at Rosh Chodesh, for there is more to be said. In the couple of days after giving this vision out, Brother Ljungstrand and I have felt a heavy burden to counsel, warn and urge people to get ready to move out to wherever Yahweh has been instructing you to prepare a personal or family place of refuge so that you may escape the calamities to come. This message is mostly - but not exclusively - directed to our brethren in the United States who believe the devarim (words) Yahweh has been giving concerning imminent Judgment but who may not, as yet, have grasped how severe is it actually going to be. Indeed there are many reckless souls - far too many - who are of the belief that Yahweh will take care of them unconditionally without anything substantial or practical being required of them. I'm afraid such will be beating their chests and wailing, assuming they are still alive, if they do not disavow such a mindset quickly. So you need to be on the alert, as the Israelites were on the evening of Pesach (Pasover), ready at a moment's notice to 'march'.

Are you yet aware that between now the the Great Tribulation and the Second Coming, a period of time spanning around a whole generation, that the world is going to experience two global calamities? Together they will claim half (½) of mankind - one out of every two people will die. Do you believe that? I am not asking whether you agree with that or not, nor am I going to answer the why's many are asking and will ask (though I have explained before), because today my task is simply to make you aware of what is going to happen.

The first calamity will claim one quarter (¼) of the entire world population (which currently stands at just under 7.45 billion people) - that is 1.86 billion or 1,862,000,000 lives. That is what is next on the prophetic timeline and it is imminent:

"When the Lamb opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature say, 'Come!' I looked, and there before me was a pale horse! Its rider was named Death, and Hades was following close behind him. They were given power over a fourth (¼) of the earth to kill by sword, famine and plague, and by the wild beasts of the earth" (Rev.6:7-8, NIV).

The second catastrophe will claim a third (⅓) of the remaining three-quarters (¾) of the world population following the first catastrophe (3.72 billion or 3,724,000,000), namely 1.24 billion or 1,241,000,000 souls, which is half (˝) the total world population as it stands today in total:

"The sixth angel sounded his trumpet, and I heard a voice coming from the horns of the golden altar that is before Elohim (God). It said to the sixth angel who had the trumpet, 'Release the four angels who are bound at the great river Euphrates.' And the four angels who had been kept ready for this very hour and day and month and year were released to kill a third (⅓) of mankind. The number of the mounted troops was two hundred million. I heard their number.

"The horses and riders I saw in my vision looked like this: Their breastplates were fiery red, dark blue, and yellow as sulphur. The heads of the horses resembled the heads of lions, and out of their mouths came fire, smoke and sulfur. A third (⅓) of mankind was killed by the three plagues of fire, smoke and sulphur that came out of their mouths. The power of the horses was in their mouths and in their tails; for their tails were like snakes, having heads with which they inflict injury" (Rev.9:13-19, NIV).

In other words, by the time the two catastrophes spoken of in the Bible are over, 3.73 billion or 3,725,000,000 people will have perished and this is before the Great Tribulation! This is the scale of the preliminary judgment we are speaking of, and if not for half, then at least for a quarter of mankind. Either way, the scale is enormous. Do you believe it? Are you preparing for it?

To give you some idea of scale, let's assume, as most do, that only a third (⅓) of humanity - that could be as many as 2.5 billion people - are going to die. This is 2,500,000,000 people. By comparison, about 270,000 - over a quarter of a million - people have already perished in the Syrian Civil War raging as I speak. The population of Syria is about 22,850,000, not taking into account all of the refugees. That's a little over 1 per cent of the Syrian population that has already been slaughtered. In the calamity that is coming we are talking about a 33 per cent fatality rate globally. For the Syrian casuality rate to match what is coming, 33 times as many people would have to die, just to give you some idea of scale and proportion. But taking both prophetic figures together, 50 times more or 50 per cent of the Syrian population will be decimated (assuming an even distribulation globally, which is not necessarily true, of course). 'You ain't seen nothing yet' would be an appropriate, if horrific, quip.

We are not accustomed to thinking on such a scale but this is what the Bible warns us is coming - first a quarter must perish, and then a third out of the survivors. Famine, pestilence, war (quite likely nuclear), genocide and natural disasters (including Nibiru) will occur on a massive scale for these figures to be realised. The Scriptures tell us what is going to happen. These fatalities need not occur at the same time or unformly across the globe, of course. Prophetic time, often compressed in Scripture, typically stretches out over years many times. I do not have the details or the timetable to share with you because I don't know yet - I just know these things are coming and I know that on the other side of this calamity of calamities, the Kingdom of Elohim (God) will arise in power as people finally make real teshuvah (repent). That is the good news! Between now the the end of the great catastrophe the existing churches and messianic assemblies, which are after the pattern of the world, will be swept away. They will be replaced by the true Melchizedek Order. This will be followed, later, by the Great Tribulation in which there will again be an apostacy, but this time on a scale never before seen, leaving the Remnant, consisting of 900,000 souls, the sole possessors of emet (truth) and salvation.

The reason I am sharing this with you is that in the first catastrophe that is about to come, in which a quarter of humanity perishes, Christians and Messianics will mistakenly believe the Great Tribulation has arrived. And when Yah'shua (Jesus) does not return at the end of this calamity (or the second for that matter), many will lose emunah (faith) and tiqveh (hope) because they have been deceived as to the timetable of the last days or because they will refuse to embrace all emet (truth). Over the coming weeks and months, as Yahweh permits, we shall reveal more of this scenario. This is why there must be true, anointed nevi'im (prophets) and Torah-teachers to show the people what is to come to pass, that they may have a handle on events, and not despair. You will be told, in advance, before these events happen, as promised in Scripture (Amos 3:7), whether by me or others (it does not matter), just as you have been told of the imminent collapse of the United States and the Western world, and you will be the witnesses of the fulfillment of these words to the glory of Yahweh-Elohim and to the building up of your emunah (faith).

Because of the nature of the judgments being poured out, it is important that you understand that only the righteous can save themselves (in Messiah) during these times by being in the spirital Sanctuary, even as it is written:

"The Davar Yahweh (Word of the LORD) came to me: 'Son of man, if a country sins against Me by being unfaithful and I stretch out my hand against it to cut off its food supply and send famine upon it and kill its men and their animals, even if these three men - Noah, Daniel and Job - were in it, they could save only themselves by their righteousness, declares Yahweh-Elohim.

"'Or if I send wild beasts through that country and they leave it childless and it becomes desolate so that no one can pass through it because of the beasts, as surely as I live, declares Yahweh-Elohim, even if these three men were in it, they could not save their own sons or daughters. They alone would be saved, but the land would be desolate.

"'Or if I bring a sword against that country and say, 'Let the sword pass throughout the land,' and I kill its men and their animals, as surely as I live, declares Yahweh-Elohim, even if these three men were in it, they could not save their own sons or daughters. They alone would be saved.

"'Or if I send a plague into that land and pour out My wrath upon it through bloodshed, killing its men and their animals, as surely as I live, declares Yahweh-Elohim, even if Noah, Daniel and Job were in it, they could save neither son nor daughter. They would save only themselves by their righteousness.

"'For this is what Yahweh-Elohim: How much worse will it be when I send against Jerusalem my four dreadful judgments - sword and famine and wild beasts and plague - to kill its men and their animals! Yet there will be some survivors - sons and daughters who will be brought out of it. They will come to you, and when you see their conduct and their actions, you will be consoled regarding the disaster I have brought upon Jerusalem - every disaster I have brought upon it. You will be consoled when you see their conduct and their actions, for you will know that I have done nothing in it without cause, declares Yahweh-Elohim'" (Ezek.14:12-23, NIV).

All your food, water, medical and other preparations are going to soon pay off because these commodities will be very scarce for some time, more so in those areas where Yahweh's protective shield will not be found. The economic collapse, which could be any day now (as Italian banks teeter on the brink), which will make available food unaffordable to buy, is but one obstacle that must be faced. You will remember the vision of of fire that I saw, which brings to mind a warning made in the days of Moses which Brother Ljungstrand shared with me:

"For a fire has been kindled by my wrath,
one that burns to the realm of death below.
It will devour the earth and its harvests
and set afire the foundations of the mountains.
I will heap calamities upon them
and spend my arrows against them.
I will send wasting famine against them,
consuming pestilence and deadly plague;
I will send against them the fangs of wild beasts,
the venom of vipers that glide in the dust.
In the street the sword will make them childless;
in their homes terror will reign.
Young men and young women will perish,
infants and gray-haired men"
(Deut.32:22-25, NIV).

When all of this come, you will not be proudly vaunting the name of your country or waving your flags for your patriotism and nationalism will be forgotten in the face the overarching and overwhlming need to simply survive and live which will blot out such vanities from your mind. Once powerful, feared and respected nations will be no more exalted in the world by the weaker nations. Rather,

"You will be a reproach and a taunt, a warning and an object of horror to the nations around you when I inflict punishment on you in anger and in wrath and with stinging rebuke. I Yahweh have spoken. When I shoot at you with my deadly and destructive arrows of famine, I will shoot to destroy you. I will bring more and more famine upon you and cut off your supply of food. I will send famine and wild beasts against you, and they will leave you childless. Plague and bloodshed will sweep through you, and I will bring the sword against you. I Yahwe4h have spoken." (Ezek.5:15-17, NIV).

"I will send wild animals against you, and they will rob you of your children, destroy your cattle and make you so few in number that your roads will be deserted...And I will bring the sword upon you to avenge the breaking of the covenant. When you withdraw into your cities, I will send a plague among you, and you will be given into enemy hands. When I cut off your supply of bread, ten women will be able to bake your bread in one oven, and they will dole out the bread by weight. You will eat, but you will not be satisfied" (Lev.26:22,25-26, NIV).

Those who did wickedness and those who would not heed the warnings will hear words they do not want to hear from the nevi'im (prophets) and they will be powerless to change them or prevent the words from being fulfilled:

"And if they ask you, 'Where shall we go?' tell them, 'This is what Yahweh says:

'Those destined for death, to death; those for the sword, to the sword; those for starvation, to starvation; those for captivity, to captivity.'

'I will send four kinds of destroyers against them,' declares Yahweh, 'the sword to kill and the dogs to drag away and the birds of the air and the beasts of the earth to devour and destroy'" (Jer.15:2-4, NIV).

None of you want to hear this but you must, and will, experience it, like it or not. I told you that your world would be turned upside down and it is about to be, but most of you will not believe. Most of you have made inadequate preparations, or only few preparations. Most of the former will perish and the latter, with bitterness in their bellies, will confess the truth of the prophecy, "You will eat, but you will not be satisfied".

So in the few days or weeks left, you should go flat out to do what you yet can to prepare or complete your preparations. I suggest you should start water storage urgently - don't neglect that! Fill up air-tight barrels, anything that will hold water, from soda bottles to bathtubs. Water is the first thing that will run out and more will die from a lack of water than from a lack of food. And make sure you have the means to purify and/or disinfect it.

Yesterday Yahweh said, "Be ready to go" and "Be ready to leave". Whatever Yahweh tells you to do, you need to be ready to do it without delay, when He tells you. If you have not heard Him speak to you, then in all likelihood it is because you don't want to do what He wants you to do. Change your mind. Change your heart. Be willing to agree with Him whether you like what He tells you or not. It's your life - and the lives of your family - that is at stake. If you are in rebellion against the Most High, stop going down the "self-destructive path" (Jer.8:5, NLT). The world is "running down the path of sin as swiftly as a horse rushing into battle" (v.6, NLT) - don't copy them! And if you "do not know what Yahweh requires of [you]" (v.7, NLT), now is the time to repent in sackcloth and ashes, and to fast until you do know. Those who have taught you falsely will be punished (v.9). False teacheers, false nevi'im (prophets) and false cohenim (priests) will lose their wives and posessions, even as it is written (v.10). Woe unto them! But "they will be humbled when they are punished" (v.12, NLT).
