Proclaiming The Day Of Salvation

 “Behold, I will send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me.” This is a scriptural truth, therefore it cannot be changed: In other words, It is impossible for the day of vengeance to come before God hath sent forth a messenger unto his people. This messenger will deliver a new covenant, along with new revelations from God’s word. Could I be this messenger? When I saw what was happening in Washington DC, and considered the evidences of it in prophecy, I made a prediction. The evidence which I saw caused me to conclude that God would fulfill his promise to pour out his vengeance upon the wicked, at noon, before President Trump’s impeachment trial was over, and the votes were cast. I felt safe making this prediction, because I saw the signs of his coming happening before my eyes, and I thought that maybe God would use my prediction as way of approving and establishing the covenant message. Instead, God humbled me, and caused me to know how it feels to speak presumptuously. I pray that my actions do not become a stumbling block for the people of iniquity.


“Surely the Lord God will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets (Amos 3:7).” “Behold, I will send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me: and the Lord, whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to his temple, even the messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight in: behold, he shall come, saith the Lord of hosts. But who may abide the day of his coming? And who shall stand when he appeareth? For he is like a refiner’s fire, and like fullers’ soap: and he shall sit as a refiner and purifier of silver: and he shall purify the sons of Levi, and purge them as gold and silver, that they may offer unto the Lord an offering in righteousness. Then shall the offering of Judah and Jerusalem be pleasant unto the Lord (Malachi 3:1-4).” 


“There is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; and hid, that shall not be known. What I tell you in darkness, that speak ye in light: and what ye hear in the ear, that preach ye upon the housetops (Matthew 10:26-27).”


“I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee, and will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I command him. And it shall come to pass, that whosoever will not hearken unto my words which he shall speak in my name, I will require it of him... And if thou say in thine heart, How shall we know the word which the Lord hath not spoken? When a prophet speaketh in the name of the Lord, if the thing follow not, nor come to pass, that is the thing which the Lord hath not spoken, but the prophet hath spoken it presumptuously: thou shalt not be afraid of him (Deuteronomy 18:18-22).” 


“Ye are my witnesses, saith the Lord, and my servant whom I have chosen: that ye may know and believe me, and understand that I am he: before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me. I, even I, am the Lord; and beside me there is no savior. I have declared, and have saved, and I have showed, when there was no strange god among you: therefore ye are my witnesses, saith the Lord, that I am God. Yea, before the day was I am he; and there is none that can deliver out of my hand: I will work, and who shall let it (Isaiah 43:10-13).”


“I am God, and there is none like me, declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure... yea, I have spoken it, I will also bring it to pass; I have purposed it, I will also do it (Isaiah 46:9-11).”


All praise, and glory be unto the Lord our God, for he has laid bare the mystery which was kept hidden since the foundation of the world! The scriptures contain an overwhelming flood of evidence which supports the understandings that have been brought forth in the covenant message. However, since much of the evidence was designed to be hidden, believers cannot see it until they acknowledge God’s parable use of words. God chose out beneficial names and key words, and planted them in prophecy. This was done in order to create confusion and preserve end time understanding. God caused these parable words to represent groups of individuals which have some sort of quality, or connection in common, even with the past. That common quality is the word’s definition. When a believer discovers the definition of a parable word, it causes every prophetic verse of scripture containing that word, to make sense. In order to save time, here are the definitions of a few frequently used parable words. The parable name, “Judah” pertains to God’s priesthood; the parable name, “Israel” pertains to all other believers, even the backslidden; the parable name “David” pertains to anointed believers; the parable name “Jacob” represents believers who have seen the truth of God’s word; the parable name, “Jerusalem,” represents sanctuaries, or other places wherein God’s people assemble themselves together for worship; and the parable name “Zion” represents a peaceable habitation, wherein God intends to dwell among his anointed and obedient followers. 


“Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that I will perform that good thing which I have promised unto the house of Israel and to the house of Judah. In those days, and at that time, will I cause the Branch of righteousness to grow up unto David; and he shall execute judgment and righteousness in the land. In those days shall Judah be saved, and Jerusalem shall dwell safely: and this is the name wherewith she shall be called, The Lord our righteousness (Jeremiah 33:14-16).”


“The Lord also shall save the tents of Judah first, that the glory of the house of David and the glory of the inhabitants of Jerusalem do not magnify themselves against Judah (Zechariah 12:7).” 


“Israel shall be saved in the Lord with an everlasting salvation: ye shall not be ashamed nor confounded world without end. For thus saith the Lord that created the heavens; God himself that formed the earth and made it; he hath established it, he created it not in vain, he formed it to be inhabited: I am the Lord; and there is none else. I have not spoken in secret, in the dark place of the earth: I said not unto the seed of Jacob, Seek ye me in vain: I the Lord speak righteousness, I declare things that are right. Assemble yourselves and come; draw near together, ye that are escaped of the nations: they have no knowledge that set up the wood of their graven image, and pray to a god that cannot save. Tell ye, and bring them near; yea, let them take counsel together: who hath declared this from ancient time? Who hath told it from that time? Have not I the Lord? And there is no God else beside me; a just God and a Savior; there is none beside me. Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am God, and there is none else (Isaiah 45:17-22).”


“Sing and rejoice, O daughter of Zion: for, lo, I come, and I will dwell in the midst of thee, saith the Lord. And many nations shall be joined to the Lord in that day, and shall be my people: and I will dwell in the midst of thee, and thou shalt know that the Lord of hosts hath sent unto thee (Zechariah 2:10-11).”


I began writing the covenant message in February of two thousand and ten. Shortly after I began to write, the Lord gave me the words of a covenant. After spending much time studying God’s word, I was able to find out with evidence that the covenant which God had given me, was our long awaited new covenant: this covenant is meant for all of the seed of faithful Abraham: in other words, it’s for Muslims, as well as the Jews, and Christians, alike. “Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me.” These are Jesus’ words: they are found in the book of Matthew, in the eleventh chapter, and the twenty ninth verse. And these are the words of our new covenant. This covenant is already making a difference in the world, and it will positively, absolutely be proclaimed. Here again, in order to see the evidence of this, it is necessary to receive a few definitions of some parable words: the word, “east” pertains to people of the Islamic faith; the word “west” pertains to people of the Christian faith; (people of the Jewish faith were to remain in the the middle, for God told them not to go to the left, or to the right); the word “north” pertains to backslidden believers; and the parable word “south” pertains to the priesthood.


“I will bring thy seed for the east, and gather thee from the west; I will say to the north, Give up; and to the south, Keep not back: bring my sons from far, and my daughters from the ends of the earth... Bring forth the blind people that have eyes, and the deaf that have ears. Let all the nations be gathered together, and let the people be assembled: who among them can declare this, and shew us former things? Let them bring forth their witnesses, that they may be justified: or let them hear, and say, It is truth (Isaiah 43:5-9).”


“Behold, I will save my people from the east country, and from the west country; and I will bring them, and they shall dwell in the midst of Jerusalem: and they shall be my people, and I will be their God, in truth and in righteousness. Thus saith the Lord of hosts; Let your hands be strong, ye that hear in these days these words by the mouth of the prophets... for before these days there was no... peace... for I set all men every one against his neighbor. But now I will not be unto the residue of this people as in the former days... The heavens shall give their dew... and it shall come to pass, that as ye were a curse among the heathen, O house of Judah, and house of Israel; so will I save you, and ye shall be a blessing: fear not, but let your hands be strong... These are the things that ye shall do; Speak ye every man the truth to his neighbor; execute the judgment of truth and peace in your gates: and let none of you imagine evil in your hearts against his neighbor; and love no false oath: for all these are things that I hate, saith the Lord (from Zechariah 8:7-17).”


“I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and supplications: and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced; and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for him, as one is in bitterness for his firstborn (Zachariah 12:10).”


“And in that day will I make a covenant for them... and I will break the bow and the sword and the battle out of the earth, and will make them to lie down safely (Hosea 2:18).” “The Lord hath sworn in truth unto David; he will not turn from it... If thy children will keep my covenant and my testimony that I shall teach them, their children shall also sit upon thy throne for evermore. For the Lord hath chosen Zion; he hath desired it for his habitation. This is my rest for ever: here will I dwell; for I have desired it (Psalm 132:11-14).” 


All of the parable word definitions which are listed above, have at one time or another been proven, with evidence, in the covenant messages. But let me demonstrate what it looks like to prove the definition of a parable word. Take the parable word “Ephraim” which pertains to people of the Christian faith. God called Ephraim his firstborn son (Jeremiah 31:9; 31:20), as well as the strength of his head (Psalm 60:7). But Ephraim was the name of Joseph’s second born son (Genesis 41:52). The Apostle Paul concluded that people who have the Holy Spirit, and are being conformed into the image of God’s son, are the firstborn. “For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among may brethren (Romans 8:29).”


“The iniquity of Ephraim is bound up; his sin is hid. The sorrows of a travailing woman shall come upon him: he is an unwise son; for he should not stay long in the place of the breaking forth of children (Hosea 13:12-13).” 


Acknowledgment of the new covenant is not optional. Trying to change the narratives of every religious person in the world is a monumental task, which is why every believer has work to do: for the whole world must know that God has delivered his people a new covenant. The fashion of this world is coming to an end, for God is ushering in a new day wherein everyone will be aware of the Lord’s existence, and everyone will have equal access to the Holy Spirit: which is the power of the world to come. As for the work which still needs to accomplished: God is with those who are working in agreement with his prophesied end time message, and he will help them. He will afflict any, and everyone, is that working against the fulfillment of his word, and he will continue to increase their afflictions until the day of his wrath. But if they still refuse to obey him, in the day of God’s wrath, they will be destroyed together with the people who have ignored his instructions. 


“And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come (Matthew 24:14).” “The fashion of this world passeth away (1Corinthians 7:31).” “The harvest is the end of the world (Matthew 13:39).” Those who were enlightened, and are partaking in the Holy Ghost, have tasted, “the powers of the world to come (Hebrews 6:5).”


“If thou wilt not observe to do all the words of this law that are written in this book, that thou mayest fear this glorious and fearful name, THE LORD THY GOD; then the Lord will make thy plagues wonderful, and the plagues of thy seed, even great plagues, and of long continuance, and sore sicknesses... Also every sickness, and every plague, which is not written in the book of this law, them will the Lord bring upon thee, until thou be destroyed... because thou wouldest not obey the voice of the Lord thy God. And it shall come to pass, that as the Lord rejoiced over you to do you good, and to multiply you; so the Lord will rejoice over you to destroy you, and bring you to nought (Deuteronomy 28:58-63).”


“If ye will not yet for all this hearken unto me, then I will punish you seven times more for your sins. And I will break the pride of your power (Leviticus 26:18-19).”


“For I the Lord love judgment... I will direct their work in truth, and I will make an everlasting covenant with them... all that see them shall acknowledge them, that they are the seed which the Lord hath blessed... For as the earth bringeth forth her bud, and as the garden causeth the things that are sown in it to spring forth; so the Lord God will cause righteousness and praise to spring forth before all nations (Isaiah 61:8-11).”


“Can two walk together, except they be agreed (Amos 3:3)?” “Ye are of nothing, and a work of nought: an abomination is he that chooseth you (Isaiah 41:24).” “Lying lips are abomination to the Lord (Proverbs 12:22).”


“Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the things of old. Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? ...I give waters in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert, to give drink to my people, my chosen. This people have I formed for myself; they shall shew forth my praise (Isaiah 43:18-21).”


“Teach me thy way, O Lord; I will walk in thy truth: unite my heart fo fear thy name. I will praise thee, O Lord my God, with all my heart: and I will glorify thy name for evermore (Psalm 86:11-12).”


The day of vengeance was in God’s heart from the foundation of the world: for God hath promised it to his people. The terribleness of his vengeance (which is the sound of the trumpet), is a sacrifice that God will make in order to strengthen his people: for it is purposed to cause the leaders of God’s people to tell their congregations the truths which are necessary to bring about the fulfillment of his word. The sound of the trumpet will awaken the people who have forsaken God, and their fears will bring them back into the Lord’s house; that they too might consider the Lord’s ways, and hearken to his word, and do according to his will. Fear not! Did not God deliver Moses and the Israelite people from the Egyptians? And did he not deliver King Jehoshaphat, and all of Judah from Moab and Ammon? These things are recorded for our edification. We have God’s sworn promise, and his testimony, saying that he will defend and deliver his people.  


“The day of vengeance is in mine heart, and the year of my redeemed is come (Isaiah 63:4).” “Is not destruction to the wicked? And a strange punishment to the workers of iniquity (Job 31:3)?” “I will execute vengeance in anger and fury upon the heathen, such as they have not heard (Micah 5:15).” “The Lord revengeth, and is furious; the Lord will take vengeance on his adversaries, and he reserveth wrath for his enemies (Nahum 1:2).” 


“For I am the Lord thy God, the Holy One of Israel, thy savior: I gave Egypt for thy ransom... Since thou wast precious in my sight, thou hast been honorable, and I have loved thee: therefore will I give men for thee, and people for thy life. Fear not: for I am with thee (Isaiah 43:3-5).”


“The afflicted people thou wilt save: but thine eyes are upon the haughty, that thou mayest bring them down (2Samuel 22:28).” “Call upon me in the day of trouble: and I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me (Psalm 50:15).” “He shall deliver the island of the innocent: it is delivered by the pureness of thine hands (Job 22:30).” “O love the Lord, all ye his saints: for the Lord preserveth the faithful, and plentifully rewardeth the proud doer (Psalm 31:23).” 


“Your eyes have seen what the Lord did because of Baal-peor: for all the men that followed Baal-peor, the Lord thy God hath destroyed them from among you (Deuteronomy 4:3).”


“I will come near to you to judgment; and I will be a swift witness against the sorcerers, and against the adulterers, and against the false swearers, and against those that oppress...and that turn aside the stranger from his right, and fear me not, saith the Lord (Malachi 3:5).”


“And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of the Lord’s house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it. And many people shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem (Isaiah 2:2-3).”


“Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee. For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the Lord shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee. And the Gentiles shall come to thy light, and kings to the brightness of thy rising. Lift up thine eyes round about, and see: all they gather themselves together, they come to thee: thy sons shall come from far, and thy daughters shall be nursed at thy side. Then thou shalt see, and flow together, and thine heart  shall fear, and be enlarged: because of the abundance of the sea shall be converted unto thee, the forces of the Gentiles shall come unto thee. The multitude of... Midian and Ephah, all they from Sheba shall come... and they shall show forth the praises of the Lord... They shall come up with acceptance on mine altar, and I will glorify the house of my glory (from Isaiah 60:1-7).”


God elected to call the day of his vengeance by several different names, including the day of the trumpet: but are you aware that he also called it the day of salvation? The Bible contains four Hebrew words which were each translated into the word, “salvation.” In certain instances those same words were translated into the word “deliverance”. The interchangeability of this word seemingly suggests that the day of salvation, is so named, because God is using the destruction of the wicked to deliver his people from religious bondage. God is our savior, and our deliverer, for it is through his word, which includes the prophesied promise to bring about the day of his wrath, that all people will be delivered from the hand of their religious authorites. This section of evidence begins by considering a time of deliverance which took place back in Moses’ day: remember that everything that has happened, will happen again: and true life accounts were recorded, that they might be used as a pattern to increase our understanding.


“Thus the Lord saved Israel that day out of the hand of the Egyptians; And Israel saw the Egyptians dead upon the sea shore. And Israel saw that great work which the Lord did upon the Egyptians: and the people feared the Lord, and believed the Lord, and his servant Moses (Exodus 14:30-31).”


“Thus saith the Lord, In an acceptable time have I heard thee, and in the day of salvation have I helped thee: I will preserve thee, and give thee for a covenant of the people, to establish the earth, to cause to inherit the desolate heritages; that thou mayest say to the prisoners, Go forth; and to them that are in darkness, Shew yourselves... And I will make all my mountains a way, and my highways shall be exalted. Behold, these shall come from far: and , lo, these from the north and from the west; and these from the land of Sinim. Sing, O heavens; and be joyful, O earth; and break forth into singing, O mountains: for the Lord hath comforted his people, and will have mercy upon his afflicted (Isaiah 49:8-13).”


“How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, that publisheth peace; that bringeth good tidings of good, that publisheth salvation; that saith unto Zion, Thy God reigneth... Break forth into joy, sing together, ye waste places of Jerusalem: for the Lord hath comforted his people, he hath redeemed Jerusalem. The Lord hath made bare his holy arm in the eyes of all the nations; and all the ends of the earth shall see the salvation of our God (Isaiah 52:7-10).” 


The people who perceive and understand the truth of God’s end time message, need to know that their testimonies are urgently needed: for God has informed his people, saying, that a bitter, hasty, nation will be coming against religion. For this reason it is imperative to go forth and bring anyone who willing to come, into a place worship wherein they can learn the truth about end times. For the so called, nation of the Chaldeans, is actually an army of believers, and they will come from the north, which means that they are dismissing the importance of God’s word. Scripture reports that this hasty, and bitter group of people will be using violence of a means of accomplishing their desire to make converts. They are the noisome pestilence, and the strange punishment that is prophesied to overwhelm those who are relying upon mistaken religious beliefs for their end time understanding. They will come for the destruction of religion. The religious people who haven’t yet heard God’s end time message, will despise it, if it’s coming at them from the mouths of destructive radicals. This group of prideful believers will have respect for a prophet of the east, whom the Lord hath chosen and raised up for his own purposes, and for his own glory. The parable word “east” indicates that this consequential man was born in the Islamic faith. But regardless of this prophet’s devotion to the Lord, many of his followers have not been perfected in Christ. Take President Donald J. Trump and his supporters as an example: Not all of them were insurrectionists. 


“Set up the standard toward Zion: retire, stay not: for I will bring evil from the north, and a great destruction (Jeremiah 4:6).” 


“Out of the north an evil shall break forth upon all the inhabitants of the land. For, lo, I will call all the families of the kingdoms of the north, saith the Lord; and they shall come, and they shall set every one his throne at the entering of the gates of Jerusalem... And I will utter my judgments against them touching all their wickedness, who have forsaken me (Jeremiah 1:14-16).”


“Behold... I will work a work in your days, which ye will not believe, though it be told you. For, lo, I raise up the Chaldeans, that bitter and hasty nation, which shall march through the breadth of the land, to possess the dwelling places that are not theirs. They are terrible and dreadful: their judgment and their dignity shall proceed of themselves... They shall come all for violence: their faces shall sup up as the east wind, and they shall gather the captivity as the sand (Habakkuk 1:5-9).”


“The Lord hear thee in the day of trouble; the name of the God of Jacob defend thee; Send thee help from the sanctuary, and strengthen thee out of Zion (Psalm 20:1-2).” 


“Give ear to my prayer, O God... attend to me, and hear me... because of the voice of the enemy, because of the oppression of the wicked: for they cast iniquity upon me, and in wrath they hate me. My heart is sore pained within me... and horror hath overwhelmed me... Destroy, O Lord, and divide their tongues: for I have seen violence and strife in the city... God shall hear, and afflict them, even he that abideth of old. Because they have no changes, therefore they fear not God. He hath put forth his hands against such as be at peace with him: he hath broken his covenant (from Psalm 55).”


“Hear my prayer, O God, give ear to the words of my mouth. For strangers are risen up against me, and oppressors seek after my soul: they have not set God before them. Behold, God is my helper... He will reward evil to mine enemies: cut them off in thy truth... I will praise thy name, O Lord, for it is good (Psalm 54:2-6).” 


“Calling a ravenous bird from the east, the man that executeth my counsel from a far country: yea, I have spoken it, I will also bring it to pass; I have purposed it, I will also do it. Hearken unto me, ye stout hearted, that are far from righteousness: I bring near my righteousness; it shall not be far off, and my salvation shall not tarry: and I will place salvation in Zion for Israel my glory (Isaiah 46:11-13).”


“I have raised him up in righteousness, and I will direct all his ways: he shall build my city, and he shall let go my captives, not for price nor reward, saith the Lord of hosts (Isaiah 45:13).”


“Behold, he shall come up as clouds, and his chariots shall be as a whirlwind: his horses are swifter than eagles. Woe unto us! For we are spoiled. O Jerusalem, wash thine heart from wickedness, that thou mayest be saved. How long shall vain thoughts lodge within thee? ...Make ye mention to the nations; behold, publish against Jerusalem, that watchers come from a far country, and give out their voice against the cities of Judah. As keepers of a field, are they against her round about; because she hath been rebellious against me, saith the Lord (Jeremiah 4:13-17).”


“Blow ye the trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm in my holy mountain: let all the inhabitants of the land tremble: for the day of the Lord cometh, for it is nigh at hand (Joel 2:1).” “Cry aloud, spare not, lift up thy voice like a trumpet, and show my people their transgression, and the house of Jacob their sins (Isaiah 58:1).”


Believers who choose to deliberately ignore the word of the Lord in order to remain loyal to their religious beliefs, are collectively grouped under the parable name, of Babylon.


“Remove out of the midst of Babylon... For, lo, I will raise and cause to come up against Babylon an assembly of great nations from the north country: and they shall set themselves in array against her; from thence she shall be taken (Jeremiah 50:8-9).”


“We would have healed Babylon, but she is not healed: forsake her... for her judgment reacheth unto heaven, and is lifted up even to the skies (Jeremiah 51:9).” 


Those who are vilely coming against Babylon have ignored God’s instructions, and they are doing things which are contrary to his word. So when they have finished spoiling the people who are still practicing religion, then the Lord will rebuke them. Once again, use the insurrectionists at the capitol building for an example: their motives may have been pure, but their ways were wicked, and they had to pay the price. For the sin of their wicked ways, the Chaldeans are in danger of being destroyed in God’s wrath: because they have no changes. God’s people can help this prideful group of believers by sharing God’s instructions with them, and by impressing upon them their need to read the New Testament, for it is their new covenant.


“The servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient, in meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth; and they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will (2Timothy 2:24-26).”  


“Woe to thee that spoilest, and thou wast not spoiled; and dealest treacherously, and they dealt not treacherously with thee! When thou shalt cease to spoil, thou shalt be spoiled; and when thou shalt make an end to deal treacherously, they shall deal treacherously with thee (Isaiah 33:1).”


“Go forth out of the land of the Chaldeans... Chaldea shall be a spoil: all that spoil her shall be satisfied, saith the Lord. Because ye were glad, because ye rejoiced, O destroyers of mine heritage... Your mother shall be sore confounded; she that bare you shall be ashamed... because of the wrath of the Lord (from Jeremiah 50:8-13).”


“Go and proclaim these words toward the north, and say, Return, thou backsliding Israel, saith the Lord; and I will not cause mine anger to fall upon you: for I am merciful, saith the Lord, and I will not keep anger for ever. Only acknowledge thine iniquity, that thou hast transgresses against the Lord thy God, and hast scattered thy ways to the strangers... and ye have not obeyed my voice... Turn, O backsliding children, saith the Lord; for I am married unto you: and I will take you one of a city, and two of a family, and I will bring you to Zion: and I will give you pastors according to mine heart, which shall feed you with knowledge and understanding (Jeremiah 3:12-15).”


The entire thirty first chapter of the book of Jeremiah is a prophetic message that is bursting with truths, and is loaded with proofs which are meant for end time understanding. The introduction of the chapter declares that on the day when God arises to give rest unto his people, all of the different religions of Israel shall be his people. Immediately following his opening remarks, God testified of his everlasting love for his people; then announced that in the last days he will draw his people near unto him through the loving kindnesses of his word; and then he reassured his people saying that the house of Zion shall be established, for God himself shall build the house. 


“At the same time, saith the Lord, will I be the God of all the families of Israel, and they shall be my people. Thus saith the Lord, The people which were left of the sword found grace in the wilderness; even Israel, when I went to cause him to rest (Jeremiah 31:1-2).”


“Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love: therefore with lovingkindness have I drawn thee. Again I will build thee, and thou shalt be built, O virgin of Israel: thou shalt again be adorned with thy tabrets, and shall go forth in the dances of them that make merry... For there shall be a day, that the watchmen upon the mount Ephraim shall cry, Arise ye, and let us go up to Zion unto the Lord our God. For thus saith the Lord; Sing with gladness for Jacob, and shout among the chief of the nations: publish ye, praise ye, and say, O Lord, save thy people, the remnant of Israel (from Jeremiah 31:3-7).”


The next segment of the prophetic message briefly mentions the sorrowfulness of God’s people, but ultimately it is a rejoicing section, for it lists the many ways in which God will comfort, and bless, and have mercy upon his people: after his vengeance has been poured out. 


“A voice was heard in Ramah, lamentation, and bitter weeping; Rahel weeping for her children refused to be comforted for her children, because they were not. Thus saith the Lord; refrain thy voice from weeping, and thine eyes from tears; for thy work shall be rewarded (Jeremiah 31:15-16).”


The Lord will save and deliver many people, who had forgotten him.

“Behold, I will bring them from the north country, and gather them from the coasts of the earth, and with them the blind and the lame... a great company shall return hither (Jeremiah 31:8).”


God will be leading his people.

“They shall come with weeping, and with supplications will I lead them: I will cause them to walk by the rivers of waters in a straight way, wherein they shall not stumble: for I am a father to Israel, and Ephraim is my firstborn (Jeremiah 31:9).”

 

The Lord will gather and restore all believers who were separated from loved ones, due to unyielding attitudes, and the conflicting philosophies of end times: and they will return.

“Hear the word of the Lord, O ye nations, and declare it in the isles afar off, and say, He that scattered Israel will gather him, and keep him, as a shepherd doth his flock... and they shall come again from the land of the enemy. And there is hope in thine end, saith the Lord, that thy children shall come again to their own border (Jeremiah 31:10; 31:17).”


And God will restore satisfaction in the Lord, and will bless his people with comfort and joy.

“Therefore they shall come and sing in the height of Zion, and shall flow together to the goodness of the Lord... Their soul shall be as a watered garden; and they shall sorrow no more at all... for I will turn their mourning into joy, and will comfort them, and make them rejoice from their sorrow. I will satiate the soul of the priests with fatness, and my people shall be satisfied with my goodness, saith the Lord (from Jeremiah 31:12-14).”


Within the blessings section of the prophecy, are the words “redeemed” and “ransomed.” We need to know more about these words: for there is a deeper meaning to them than was originally reported, and has been accepted, and taught. Redemption has to do with God paying a price in order to create an awareness of him, so that he might deliver his people from the power of the grave: for in death the soul ceaseth for ever (Psalm 49:8). Think of it this way; God made a covenant, which is kind of like making a deal with mankind. God told his people that if they would obey his voice, and keep his commandments, (that was man’s part of the deal):  then, (according to God’s part of the deal), God would bless the people who kept their end of the bargain, so that all people of the earth would see that they were called by the Lord’s name, and they would be afraid of them (Deuteronomy 28:10). Unfortunately, too many believers slacked off on their end of the bargain. So God devised a plan called redemption, which is purposed to cause his people to return to him. Whether it be the death of a man, (Jesus), or the death of a nation, (the Egyptians), God loved his people, so much so that he slew some of his own people, that many other people might fear him, and might return to him.


Jesus told his followers that when they began to see end time signs happening, they should look up, for their redemption draweth nigh (Luke 21:28). In the Old Testament, it is written that Zion shall be redeemed with judgment (Isaiah 1:27). So consider this: Has not the covenant message been revealing and declaring the Judgments of our God? And is not the day of his vengeance one of God’s judgments? Therefore the destruction of the wicked and the punishments of the workers of iniquity, are for redemption. When the multitudes see death and destruction, they will fear God, and many of them will return to the Lord, and they will do according to his word: and that’s what redemption is all about. 


“Therefore thus saith the Lord, who redeemed Abraham, concerning the house of Jacob, Jacob shall not now be ashamed, neither shall his face now wax pale (Isaiah 29:22).” “For the Lord hath redeemed Jacob, and ransomed him from the hand of him that was stronger than he (Jeremiah 31:11).” 


“The redeemed of the Lord shall return, and come with singing unto Zion; and everlasting joy shall be upon their head: and they shall obtain gladness and joy; and sorrow and mourning shall flee away (Isaiah 51:11).”


“Because the Lord loved you, and because he would keep the oath which he had sworn unto your fathers, hath the Lord brought you out with a mighty hand, and redeemed you out of the house of bondmen, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt (Deuteronomy 7:8).”


“But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption (1Corinthians 1:30).”


The word “ransom” has to do with God’s servants, especially the prophets, who paid the high cost of sacrificing everything, in order to bring all the Lord’s followers into the kingdom of God, or at least, as many as they could possibly bring.


“If there be a messenger with him, an interpreter, one among a thousand, to shew unto man his uprightness: Then he is gracious unto him, and saith, Deliver him from going down to the pit: I have found a ransom (Job 33:23-24).”


“What shall I more say? For the time would fail me to tell of GIdeon, and of Barak, and of Samson, and of Jephthae, of David also, and Samuel, and of the prophets: who through faith subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises, and stopped the mouths of lions... (Of whom the world was not worthy)... And these all, having obtained a good report through faith, received not the promise: God having provided some better thing for us, that they without us should not be made perfect (from Hebrews 11:32-40).”


“Awake, awake, put on strength, O arm of the Lord...  Art thou not it that hath cut Rahab, and wounded the dragon? Art thou not it which hath dried the sea, the waters of the great deep; that hath made the depths of the sea a way for the ransomed to pass over? Therefore the redeemed of the Lord shall return, and come with singing unto Zion (Isaiah 51:9-10).”


“And the ransomed of the Lord shall return, and come to Zion with songs and everlasting joy upon their heads: they shall obtain joy and gladness, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away (Isaiah 35:10).”


“For there is... one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; who gave himself a ransom for all to be testified in due time (1Timothy 2:5-6).” “For even the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many (Mark 10:45)”


“For I am the Lord thy God, the Holy One of Israel, thy Savior: I gave Egypt for thy ransom, Ethiopia and Seba for thee. Since thou wast precious in my sight, thou hast been honorable, and I have loved thee: therefore will I gave men for thee, and people for thy life (Isaiah 43:3-4).”


“I will ransom them from the power of the grave; I will redeem them from death: O death, I will be thy plagues; O grave, I will thy destruction: repentance shall be hid from mine eyes (Hosea 13:14).”


Now back to the thirty first chapter of the book of Jeremiah: this chapter supplied truths which were necessary to the development of the covenant message. Evidence from this chapter verifies that the parable name “Ephraim” represents people of the Christian faith, and evidence from this chapter verifies that a woman would bring forth the covenant message. This chapter also discloses Christianity’s reaction to God’s end time plan; and it celebrates the glory of God giving his people a new covenant, and testifies that it will be an everlasting covenant which shall never pass away.


 “Ephraim is my firstborn... I have surely heard Ephraim bemoaning himself thus; Thou hast chastised me, and I was chastised, as a bullock unaccustomed to the yoke: turn thou me, and I shall be turned; for thou art the Lord my God. Surely after that I was turned, I repented; and after that I was instructed, I smote upon my thigh: I was ashamed, yea, even confounded, because I did bear the reproach of my youth. Is Ephraim my dear son? Is he a pleasant child? For since I spake against him, I do earnestly remember him still: therefore my bowels are troubled for him; I will surely have mercy upon him, saith the Lord (Jeremiah 31:9; Jeremiah 31:18-20).”


“How long wilt thou go about, O thou backsliding daughter? For the Lord hath created a new thing in the earth, A woman shall lead a man (Jeremiah 31:22).”


“Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah: Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which my covenant they brake, although I was an husband unto them, saith the Lord: But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the Lord, I will put my law in their inward parts, and will write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people (Jeremiah 31:31-33).”  


“Thus saith the Lord, which giveth the sun for a light by day, and the ordinances of the moon and of the stars for a light by night, which divideth the sea when the waves thereof roar; The Lord of hosts is his name: If those ordinances depart from before me... then the seed of Israel also shall cease from being a nation before me for ever. Thus saith the Lord; If the heaven above can be measured, and the foundations of the earth searched out beneath, I will also cast off all the seed of Israel for all that they have done, Saith the Lord (Jeremiah 31:35-37).”

The Day of Temptation

The Old Testament’s true life accounts were recorded as a requirement of God, for they are essential to the interpretation of prophecy. It is absolutely astonishing to think that from the beginning of time, before God laid the very foundation of righteousness, he saw the need for an end time message. He understood the necessity of having a plan which would refresh his people when they had grown weary, but it would also correct those who had corrupted themselves, and aggressively create awareness of his existence. It was in God’s heart that the plan he created would glorify his people. God elected to use a crafty work that he called, prophecy. This work would involve a process that would span over generations, during which time no man was able to understand what God was doing. God predetermined that at an appointed time, the Holy Spirit would guide believers into understanding the truth of his established end time plan, for the Spirit would teach them how to prove God’s end time message. Because the truth of end times has been realized, God’s people now have powerful knowledge of what God was going to do, before it happens. The work which God did will cause believers to rejoice and praise the Lord for devising, and accomplishing such a plan; and God will be rejoicing over his people; not only for discovering the plan, but also for searching it out, and for believing it, and for publishing it unto the nations. Another advantage of carrying out his end time plan in this fashion, is that it clearly demonstrates the power and the existence of the Holy Spirit: for the Spirit has led God’s people into this new understanding.


“Thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying, This is the way, walk in it (Isaiah 30:21).”


As if intending to make it even harder to understand, God not only recorded prophetic scripture verses, but he also recorded those actual life circumstances which were essential for its interpretation. When these two things; the true life experience, and a prophetic verse, are pulled together by a common word, a mental picture beings to form which brings understanding to the spiritually discerned verse. Therefore, because of the way that God’s end time plan was designed to work, the entire book of the Old Testament is a work of prophecy, and the interpretation of the prophetic message is provable. The prophetic message was corrupted early on by mistaken interpretations, and throughout the generations well-intended prophets continued to build their understanding of it based upon those same mistaken, and incorrect foundations. Who would have believed that God could hide the truth of prophecy before the eyes of his people for over two thousand years? Give God praise and the glory, for he did it; and it is for our benefit. Our amazing God is still at work advancing the same teaching methods, for he is still creating actual life circumstances, and causing those circumstances to perfect that which is lacking in our understanding of future events. Find evidence of these things written in the verses below, and begin by examining a cleverly worded verse which comes from the book of Ecclesiastes, and testifies of God’s amazing teaching methods.  


“The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun (Ecclesiastes 1:9).” “That which hath been is now; and that which is to be hath already been; and God requireth that which is past (Ecclesiastes 3:15).” 


“Not unto us, O Lord, not unto us, but unto thy name give glory, for thy mercy, and for thy truth’s sake (Psalm 115:1).” “All nations whom thou hast made shall come and worship before thee, O Lord; and shall glorify thy name. For thou art great, and dost wondrous things: thou art God alone (Psalm 86:9-10).” “When the Lord shall build up Zion, he shall appear in his glory (Psalm 102:16).” “Call upon me in the day of trouble: I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me (Psalm 50:15).” 


“The wise shall inherit glory: but shame shall be the promotion of fools (Proverbs 3:35).” “It is the glory of God to conceal a thing: but the honor of kings is to search out the matter (Proverbs 25:2).” “All the upright in heart shall glory (Psalm 64:10).” 


“Who hath believed our report? To whom is the arm of the Lord revealed (Isiah 53:1)?” 


“Behold, God exalteth by his power: who teacheth like him (Job 36:22)?” “For whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have more abundance: but whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that he hath (Matthew 13:12).” 


God is using the circumstances of President Donald J. Trump’s impeachment trial to conjure up images, which teach his people what is lacking in their understanding of, The hour of temptation. Consider the evidence: President Trump suffered the most outrageous hatred of any president in presidential history: and as if he hasn’t already suffered enough, he continues to be canceled, and is about to go through an unwarranted impeachment trial. He is innocent of the charges, and proof of his innocence is written in the scriptures. Additional proof of his innocence is evidenced in the fact that the same hatred which came against President Trump, is now coming against his supporters, many of which are Christian believers. This is the prophesied “hatred without a cause” that God’s people should suffer in the last days.


“Mine enemies are lively, and they are strong: and they that hate me wrongfully are multiplied (Psalm 38:19).” “They that hate me without a cause are more than the hairs of mine head: they that would destroy me, being mine enemies wrongfully, are mighty (Psalm 69:4).” “Let not them that are mine enemies wrongfully rejoice over me: neither let them wink with the eye that hate without a cause (Psalm 35:19).”


“Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you: but rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ’s sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy (1Peter 4:12-13).” 


“How long will you imagine mischief against a man? Ye shall be slain all of you (Psalm 62:3).” “He will laugh at the trial of the innocent (Job 9:23).” “Woe is me, my mother, that thou hast borne me a man of strife and a man of contention to the whole earth! ...every one of them doth curse me (Jeremiah 15:10).” 


“Ye shall be hated of all men for my name’s sake (Luke 21:17).” 


“He turned their heart to hate his people, to deal subtly with his servants (Psalm 105:25).” 


Will President Trump be found guilty at the impeachment trial? Since the evil days are upon us, truth is irrelevant, dismissed, and it is cast to the ground. Temptations are ruling today’s narratives. What temptations will rule the impeachment trial? There is the temptation to fear because of the forces which are pushing so hard for his impeachment; there is the temptation to cast your vote in such a way as to boost your funding from major corporations; there is the temptation to cast your vote in such a way as to keep the former president from interfering with your political ambitions; but the number one reason to vote against the former president, is the enormous temptation to inflict hatred, because of jealousy. Notice that all of the temptations have nothing to do with the allegation that were filed against him. When evil encompasses the righteous, it is tempting to give in to its demands. Wherefore every senator will be on trial next week: for God will be trying the hearts of the professing senators. When believers witness this trial, it is to remind them that when they are facing their own temptations, they should: Trust God, and Fear Not! 


“He knoweth the way that I take: when he hath tried me, I shall come forth as gold (Job 23:10).” “Thine habitation is in the midst of deceit; through deceit they refuse to know me... Therefore thus saith the Lord of hosts, Behold, I will melt them, and try them: for how shall I do for the daughter of my people? Their tongue... it speaketh deceit... Shall I not visit them for these things (Jeremiah 9:7-9)?” 


“Pray that ye enter not into temptation (Luke 22:40).” “Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him (James 1:12).” “Keep me... from the wicked that oppress me, from my deadly enemies, who compass me about (Psalm 17:8-9).” 


“Blessed is that man that maketh the Lord his trust, and respecteth not the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies (Psalm 40:4).” “Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil... which justify the wicked for reward, and take away the righteousness of the righteous from him (Isaiah 5:20; 5:23).” 


“If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, his is a liar (1John 4:20).” “Lying lips are abomination to the Lord (Proverbs 12:22).” “A lying tongue hateth those that are afflicted by it (Proverbs 26:28).” ”Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him (1John 3:15).” 


“I was envious at the foolish, when I saw the prosperity of the wicked... they are not in trouble as other men; neither are they plagued like other men. Therefore pride compasseth them about as a chain; violence covereth them as a garment... They are corrupt, and speak wickedly... and they say, How doth God know? ...Behold, these are the ungodly who prosper in the world... How are they brought into desolation, as in a moment! They are utterly consumed with terrors. As a dream when one awaketh; so, O Lord, when thou awakest, thou shalt despise their image (from Psalm 73:3-20).”


“I will bring the third part through the fire, and will refine them as silver is refined, and will try them as gold is tried: they shall call on my name, and I will hear them: I will say, It is my people: and they shall say, The Lord is my God (Zachariah 13:9).”


I have included with this particular prophetic message, my earnest expectation: There are verses of scripture which cause me to believe that President Donald J. Trump’s impeachment trial will be halted and dismissed, suddenly, at noon, before the trial is over, and before the votes are cast. I believe that this is the day and time wherein God will arise to destroy the wicked, and to scatter the backslidden. Allow me to present my compelling evidence. The first piece of evidence is found in the second Psalm. This Psalm testifies that God will laugh, and it verifies that afterwards God will speak to them in his wrath, and will vex them in his sore displeasure. The second piece of evidence comes to us from the Book of Job, and it states the reason why God will laugh: he will laugh at the trial of the innocent. The third piece of evidence is found in the Second Epistle of Peter. This piece of evidence identifies that God knows how to deliver the godly out of temptation. In other words, God is able to stop the vote in order to cause believing senators who were extremely tempted to tell lies, not to break their oaths which they have sworn before him. And a fourth piece of evidence, which is really not evidence of the particular day and time, but it is evidence as to why God will arise during this season: this evidence is found in the book of Psalms. It is God’s sworn testimony that he will not allow the wicked to reign over his people. 


And one final piece of evidence, (which greatly contributed to my decision to make a prediction), is found in the book of Jeremiah: this prophecy confirms that God will come at noon. Incidentally, it will be noon in Washington DC, for this is where the hour of temptation is being played out before or eyes. God used some tricky wording in this verse so that it would remain hidden. The words, “the mother of young men” concealed the matter. These words pertain to the covenant message and to the priests and prophets who have heard the message, and who have already converted their thoughts to God’s way of thinking. Therefore it rejoices my heart that God would include these words in prophecy: for these words “the mother of young men” signify that the covenant message has brought forth converts! We travailed together, and new converts have come forth because these people truly believe that new understanding has been brought to light! So the interpretation of the documented verse found in the Book of Jeremiah, is this: God has brought upon, (the people who are against the truth of end times), a spoiler at noon! One last detail to consider before examining the evidence: The timing of God’s intervention will not only stop the senators from breaking their oaths, but it is also help the young men and priests who have already changed their ways: for God’s end time sign will prevent them from lying, and transgressing, and from committing provocation before the congregation. 


“I have brought upon them against “the mother of young men” a spoiler at noonday (Jeremiah 15:8).” 


“He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision. Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure (Psalm 2:4-5).” “He will laugh at the trial of the innocent (Job 9:23).”


“The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished (2Peter 2:9).”


“The rod of the wicked shall not rest upon the lot of the righteous; lest the righteous put forth their hands unto iniquity (Psalm 125:3).”


The next few verses supply additional evidence concerning the events, as well as the timing of, The Day of the Trumpet:


“Thou shalt not be afraid for... the destruction that wasteth at noon day (Psalm 91:5-6).” “It shall come to pass in that day, saith the Lord God, that I will cause the sun to go down at noon, and I will darken the earth in the clear day. And I will turn your feasts into mourning, and all your songs into lamentation (Amos 8:9-10).”


“They have spoken words, swearing falsely in making a covenant: thus judgment springeth up as hemlock in the furrows of the field... It is in my desire that I should chastise them; and the people shall be gathered against them, when they shall bind themselves in their two furrows (Hosea 10:4; 10:10).” “He hath put forth his hands against such as be at peace with him: he hath broken his covenant... but thou, O God, shalt bring them down into the pit of destruction (Psalm 55:20; 55:23).”  


“The wicked plotteth against the just... The Lord shall laugh at him: for he seeth that his day is coming (Psalm 37:12-13).” “Thou lovest... lying rather than to speak righteousness. Thou lovest all devouring words, O deceitful tongue. God shall likewise destroy thee for ever, he shall take thee away, and pluck thee out of thy dwelling place, and root thee our of the land of the living. The righteous shall see, and fear, and shall laugh at him (Psalm 52:3-6).”  


“Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth (Revelation 3:10).” 


And there is also evidence suggesting that when the end time sign appears, God will be overturning some the results of this unpopular election: because the wicked will not rule over his people.


“I have found David my servant; with my holy oil have I anointed him... The enemy shall not exact upon him; nor the son of wickedness afflict him. And I will beat down his foes before his face, and plague them that hate him. But my faithfulness and my mercy shall be with him: and in my name shall his horn be exalted (Psalm 89:20-24).”


“Though I have afflicted thee, I will afflict thee no more (Nahum 1:12).” “Behold, at that time I will undo all that afflict thee: and I will save her that halteth, and gather her that was driven out; and I will get them praise and fame in every land where they had been put to shame (Zephaniah 3:19).” 


“I will overturn, overturn, overturn it: and it shall be no more, until he come whose right it is; and I will give it him (Ezekiel 21:27).”


“He shall break in pieces mighty men without number, and set others in their stead (Job 34:24).”

 

“They gather themselves together against the soul of the righteous, and condemn the innocent blood, but the Lord is my defense; and my God is the rock of my refuge. He shall bring upon them their own iniquity, and shall cut them off in their own wickedness; yea, the Lord our God shall cut them off (fPsalm 94:21-23).” 


“The heathen are sunk down in the pit that they have made: in the net which they hid is their own foot taken (Psalm 9:15),”


Television is allowing people to see the fulfillment of prophecy being played out before their eyes. Have you seen that small time investors are bringing down the hedge funds and Wall Street? Have you seen the hypocrisy and irrationality of big tech, the social media, and corporate America? How these elitists are lying, and causing people to be canceled, and removed from their jobs, because they have fears, and they hate conservatives? Have you seen the videos of the insurrection at the Capitol Building on January sixth? Have you seen how members of the congress, as well as others, are travailing in fears because of rumors of wars and insurrections? Have you seen that offensive amount of military troops which are surrounding the Capitol Building? Have you seen the videos of the Antifa and BLM wars which took place over the past year? All of these circumstances read like God’s play book, and some of them are end time signs. God created these circumstances to supply evidence of things which are to come. Remember that that which is now, is that which shall be; and the Lord required examples for our edification. Take a look at some of the prophecies that these circumstances have fulfilled.


“When ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is nigh (Luke 21:20).” “And ye shall hear of wars and rumors of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet... All these are the beginning of sorrows. Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name’s sake. And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another... but he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved (Matthew 24:6-13).”


“He strengtheneth the spoiled against the strong, so that the spoiled shall come against the fortress (Amos 5:9).”


“The wicked are like the troubled sea, when it cannot rest, whose waters cast up mire and dirt. There is no peace, saith my God, to the wicked (Isaiah 57:20-21).” “The wicked man travaileth with pain all his days, and the number of years is hidden to the oppressor. A dreadful sound is in his ears: in prosperity the destroyer shall come upon him (Job 15:20-21).” 


When God arises and destruction comes upon the wicked for the first time, it is called the day of the Trumpet, and this is not the day of God’s wrath, therefore we have not seen God’s wrath in its extremity. In the past, the sound of the trumpet was an alarm of war. On the day of the trumpet, God’s acclaim will be observed and recognized by its destruction, but the sound of it will be heard in the wailing of mourners, as well as in the cries of God’s people: for every believer must forsake those religious beliefs which could never be changed, and they must go the way that God has wanted his people serve him. The trumpet sound will continue to be heard until there are no more objections to the truth of God’s word, for those who refuse to change, will be destroyed. It is imperative to remember that this battle must be fought in accordance with the instruction of God’s word. Priests, as well as others, should not seek to hide those things which they have naively said and done against God’s word, but rather, they should confess them before the congregation: this is pleasing to God. For the elect there is reason to celebrate and rejoice in the day of the trumpet, for on that day those who have committed voilence will be destroyed, and the spiritually dead will be awakened and corrected, and God will deliver up the ensign which will confirm his thoughts, so that believing priests can go forth with confidence, and teach God’s message to the nations.


“Thus saith the Lord, Behold, I will sling out the inhabitants of the land at this once and will distress them, that they may find it so. Woe is me for my hurt! My wound is grievous: but I said, Truly this is grief, and I must bear it (Jeremiah 10:18-19).” 


“And the slain of the Lord shall be at that day from one end of the earth even unto the other end of the earth... Howl, ye shepherds, and cry... A voice of the cry of the shepherds, and an howling of the principal of the flock, shall be heard: for the Lord hath spoiled their pasture. And the peaceable habitations are cut down because of the fierce anger of the Lord (Jeremiah 25:33-37).”


“In all vineyards shall be wailing: for I will pass through thee, saith the Lord (Amos 5:17).”


“The Lord hath spoiled Babylon and destroyed out of her the great voice (Jeremiah 51:55).” “At the noice of the taking of Babylon the earth is moved, and the cry is heard among the nations (Jeremiah 50:46).” “The Lord also shall roar out of Zion, and utter his voice from Jerusalem; and the heavens and the earth shall shake: but the Lord will be the hope of his people, and the strength of the children of Israel (Joel 3:16).” 


“There shall be signs... and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity... Men’s hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven will be shaken (Luke 21:25-26).”


“The righteous shall rejoice when he seeth the vengeance (Psalm 58:10).” “Cry aloud, spare not, lift up thy voice like a trumpet, and show my people their transgression, and the house of Jacob their sins (Isaiah 58:1).” “And the Lord shall cause his glorious voice to be heard (Isaiah 30:30).” 


“It shall come to pass in that day, that a great trumpet shall be blown, and they shall come which were ready to perish... and shall worship the Lord in the holy mount at Jerusalem (Isaiah 27:13).” “And I will give them one heart, and one way, that they may fear me for ever, for the good of them, and their children after them (Jeremiah 32:39).”


“Take heed to thyself that thou offer not thy burnt offerings in every place that thou seest: but in the place which the Lord shall choose in one of the tribes (Deuteronomy 12:13-14).” 


“We shall all be changed (1Corinthians 15:51).” “God shall hear, and afflict them, even he that abideth of old. Because they have no changes, therefore they fear not God (Psalm 55:19).” 



“Declare ye in Judah, and publish in Jerusalem; and say, Blow ye the trumpet in the land: cry, gather together, and say, Assemble yourselves, and let us go into the defended cities. Set up the standard toward Zion: retire, stay not: for I will bring evil from the north, and a great destruction (Jeremiah 4:5-6).”


“How long shall I see the standard, and hear the sound of the trumpet? For my people is foolish, they have not known me (Jeremiah 4:21-22).” “For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent (1Corinthians 1:19).”


“Now, because it is not so, he hath visited in his anger; yet he knoweth it not in great extremity: Therefore doth Job open his mouth in vain; and mutliplieth words without knowledge (Job 35:15-16).” 


“Ask ye now, and see whether a man doth travail with child? Wherefore do I see every man with his hands on his loins, as a woman in travail, and all faces are turned into paleness (Jeremiah 30:6).” “We have been with child, we have been in pain, we have as it were brought forth wind; we have not wrought any deliverance in the earth; neither have the inhabitants of the world fallen (Isaiah 26:18).” 


“Who hath heard such a thing? Who hath seen such things? Shall the earth be made to bring forth in one day? Or shall a nation be born at once? For as soon as Zion travailed, she brought forth her children (Isaiah 66:8).” 


“Hear... what I have done; and... acknowledge my might (Isaiah 33:13).” “I will go and return to my place, till they acknowledge their offense, and seek my face: in their affliction they will seek me early (Hosea 5:15).” 


“Go and proclaim these words toward the north, and say, Return, thou backsliding Israel, saith the Lord; and I will not cause mine anger to fall upon you: for I am merciful, saith the Lord, and I will not keep anger for ever. Only acknowledge thine iniquity, that thou hast transgressed against the Lord thy God... and ye have not obeyed my voice (Jeremiah 3:12-13).” 


Also relevant to the prophetic message is a discrete little teaching, concerning: The day of provocation. God recorded this little message twice in the Bible, once in the old testament, and again in the new. Let’s begin the understanding of his teaching by taking a look at the message:


“To-day, if you will hear his voice, harden not your heart, as in the provocation, and as in the day of temptation in the wilderness: when your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my work. Forty years long was I grieved with this generation, and said, It is a people that do err in their heart, they have not known my ways: unto whom I swore in my wrath that they should not enter into my rest (Psalm 95:7-11).” (Also see Hebrews 3:7-11).


As you can see, this little teaching starts out with a curious invitation, inviting whomsoever will hear, to enter into the Lord’s rest. But God’s invitation is preceded by that powerful little stipulation word, “if.” God is stipulating that if his people want to inherit his rest, then must hear God’s voice, and obey it. Scripture is God’s voice, and the word of his voice often comes to believers through his servants, who are simply ordinary and common folks that believe. Why did God use the Hebrew people as an example in connection with this subject? The answer is discovered in the incriminating words “in the wilderness.” These words attest to the fact that the Hebrew people had offended God after they were delivered out of bondage by mighty signs and wonders, and after God had drowned their enemies in the sea. 


The Hebrew people had beheld God’s mighty signs and wonders, they should have been filled with great confidence in the Lord: but as soon as God tried them to know their hearts, they quickly turned aside from waiting on Moses, and made themselves a golden calf, which was declared to be their god. This was a provocation, for their actions had provoked God’s anger, so much so that he wanted to destroy them: but Moses prayed for them, and God refrained. Even as they continued their journey through the wilderness, the Hebrew people tempted God over and again. Some of them tried to return to Egypt, and others complained against Moses, who was God’s voice for the people. In effect, the Hebrew people were complaining against God, and they were fighting against his word. So the purpose of this little message is to inform God’s people that when they see the signs and wonders, and they perceive that God has broken the bonds which kept the truth hidden and held his people captive, then believers must never return to their church doctrines again, regardless of any discomforts that they may be required to suffer: remember how you yourselves inflicted pain upon others, and God is a God of recompense. A return to religion’s policies will provoke God's wrath, and those who do it will be destroyed. Also, when the covenant message is confirmed, it will confirm a prophet; therefore pay attention to the covenant message in its entirety, for it will help you to get a quick understanding of end times, and it will provide you with instruction, and assist you in identifying God’s warnings.


“They... dealt proudly... and refused to obey, neither were they mindful of thy wonders that thou didst among them; but hardened their necks, and in rebellion appointed a captain to return to their bondage: but thou art a God ready to pardon... and forsookest them not. Yea, when they had made them a molten calf, and said, This is thy God that brought thee up out of Egypt, and had wrought great provocations; Yet thou in thy manifold mercies forsookest them not in the wilderness (from Nehemiah 9:16-19).”


“Likewise when the Lord sent you from Kadesh-bar-ne-a, saying, Go up and possess the land which I have given you; then ye rebelled against the commandment of the Lord your God, and ye believed him not, nor hearkened to his voice... Thus I fell down before the Lord forty days and forty nights, as I fell down at the first; because the Lord had said he would destroy you (Deuteronomy 9:23-25).” 


“Unto whom I swore in my wrath that they should not enter into my rest (Psalm 95:11).”


The conclusion of this message comes with a celebration of God’s rest. There are two types of rest which God will be delivering to his people during end times. The first type of rest is the glorious assurance of knowing that you have eternal life dwelling within you: this assurance comes from receiving the Holy Spirit, which is the gift of having God and Jesus Christ come and dwell within you. The Holy Spirit quickens, and comforts, and guides the soul, and takes away tears, and doubts. There is a standard which God has set up as a means of teaching his people how that they might inherit this gift: they must know and love Jesus Christ’s teachings, for the Holy Spirit exclusively dwells within believers who love Jesus’ teachings. Read more about this precious gift in the fourteenth chapter of the Book of John. Every child of God has not had equal access to the Father concerning this gift. Religion put demands upon many of God’s children, demands which held some of them in bondage, so that these believers were unable to experience God's rest. Rejoice in what God is doing for these captives. 


“And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels, in flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ: Who shall be punished with ever lasting destruction... when he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired in all them that believe (2Thessalonians 1:7-10).” 


“He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: he that believeth not God hath made him a liar; because he believeth not the record that God gave his son (1John 5:10).”


“The spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovery of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, to preach the acceptable year of the Lord (Luke 4:18-19).”


The second type of rest is the kind of rest that believers receive when God gives them rest from the enemies which are round about them: and this type of rest will be equally as glorious. God’s prophetic end time plan is not just about destroying the wicked, but it is about delivering peace to the nations by ending religious warfare! The prophet Isaiah prophesied that God will give his people rest from their sorrows, and their fears, and the hard bondage wherein they were made to serve. (Isaiah 14:3). Because of the conviction of the religious people, many of which were corrupted, God’s people were forced to endure many sorrows, as they served the Lord in religious warfare. Praise the Lord for this new and different kind of “rest” which will soon be accomplished!


“Again, he limiteth a certain day, saying in David, To-day, after so long time; as it is said, To-day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts. For if Jesus had given them rest, then would he not afterward have spoken of another day. There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God (Hebrews 4:7-9).”


“He shall judge among many people, and rebuke strong nations afar off; and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks: nation shall not lift up a sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more (Micah 4:3).”


“Remember, O Lord, what is come upon us: consider, and behold our reproach. Our inheritance is turned to strangers... We are orphans and fatherless, our mothers are as widows. We have drunken our water for money... Our necks are under persecution: we labor, and have no rest... our fathers sinned... and we have borne their iniquities... there is none that doth deliver us... We gat our bread with the peril of our lives... wherefore dost thou forget us for ever, and forsake us so long time (From Lamentations chapter five).”


“Doubtless thou art our father, though Abraham be ignorant of us, and Israel acknowledge us not: thou, O Lord, art our father, our redeemer; thy name is from everlasting. O Lord, why hast thou made us to err from thy ways, and hardened our heart from thy fear? Return for thy servants’ sake, the tribes of thine inheritance (Isaiah 64:16-17).”


“Thus saith the Lord God; Because they say unto you, Thou land devourest up men, and hast bereaved thy nations; therefore thou shalt devour men no more, neither bereave thy nations any more, saith the Lord God. Neither will I cause men to hear in thee the shame of the heathen any more, neither shalt thou bear the reproach of the people any more, neither shalt thou cause thy nations to fall any more, saith the Lord (Ezekiel 36:13-15).”


“Therefore it shall be, when the Lord thy God hath given thee rest from all thine enemies round about, in the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee for an inheritance to possess it, that thou shalt blot out the remembrance of Amalek from under heaven; thou shalt not forget it (Deuteronomy 25:19).”


“The whole earth is at rest, and is quiet: they break forth into singing (Isaiah 14:7).” “Behold, I will bring it health and cure, and I will cure them, and will reveal unto them the abundance of peace and truth... And I will cleanse them from all their iniquity, whereby they have sinned against me; and I will pardon all their iniquities, whereby they have sinned, and whereby they have transgressed against me (Jeremiah 33:6-8).”
