Revelation 14:1-20 Then I looked, and behold, on Mount Zion stood the Lamb, and with him 144,000 who had his name and his Father’s name written on their foreheads. And I heard a voice from heaven like the roar of many waters and like the sound of loud thunder. The voice I heard was like the sound of harpists playing on their harps, and they were singing a new song before the throne and before the four living creatures and before the elders. No one could learn that song except the 144,000 who had been redeemed from the earth. It is these who have not defiled themselves with women, for they are virgins. It is these who follow the Lamb wherever he goes. These have been redeemed from mankind as firstfruits for God and the Lamb, and in their mouth no lie was found, for they are blameless. Then I saw another angel flying directly overhead, with an eternal gospel to proclaim to those who dwell on earth, to every nation and tribe and language and people. And he said with a loud voice, “Fear God and give him glory, because the hour of his judgment has come, and worship him who made heaven and earth, the sea and the springs of water.” Another angel, a second, followed, saying, “Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great, she who made all nations drink the wine of the passion of her sexual immorality.” And another angel, a third, followed them, saying with a loud voice, “If anyone worships the beast and its image and receives a mark on his forehead or on his hand, he also will drink the wine of God’s wrath, poured full strength into the cup of his anger, and he will be tormented with fire and sulfur in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb. And the smoke of their torment goes up forever and ever, and they have no rest, day or night, these worshipers of the beast and its image, and whoever receives the mark of its name.” Here is a call for the endurance of the saints, those who keep the commandments of God and their faith in Jesus. And I heard a voice from heaven saying, “Write this: Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now on.” “Blessed indeed,” says the Spirit, “that they may rest from their labors, for their deeds follow them!” Then I looked, and behold, a white cloud, and seated on the cloud one like a son of man, with a golden crown on his head, and a sharp sickle in his hand. And another angel came out of the temple, calling with a loud voice to him who sat on the cloud, “Put in your sickle, and reap, for the hour to reap has come, for the harvest of the earth is fully ripe.” So he who sat on the cloud swung his sickle across the earth, and the earth was reaped. Then another angel came out of the temple in heaven, and he too had a sharp sickle. And another angel came out from the altar, the angel who has authority over the fire, and he called with a loud voice to the one who had the sharp sickle, “Put in your sickle and gather the clusters from the vine of the earth, for its grapes are ripe.” So the angel swung his sickle across the earth and gathered the grape harvest of the earth and threw it into the great winepress of the wrath of God. And the winepress was trodden outside the city, and blood flowed from the winepress, as high as a horse’s bridle, for 1,600 stadia.
All who are mine are marked. That mark is not visible to the human eye, but you have been given the spirit of discernment. You know who is truly mine. Pay attention. Do not align yourself with those who are not mine. That is not to say do not associate with them. You must, if you are to help them understand my word and what I am. But do not follow anyone that does not bear my mark. The times are perilous. Your enemy knows how to speak in a way that sounds like it comes from me. Pray over everything. When in doubt, back out. Better to pull away at the wrong moment than to be drawn into lies and deception.
The day is drawing near. Babylon will be soundly defeated. I will return to judge your earth. Do not be found on the wrong side of that judgment. Help as many as possible to see truth. You fear what will happen here. Fear what will happen after I return. What is allowed to happen here before my return will pale in comparison to what will occur to those who find themselves on the wrong side of my judgment. I have given you a heart of love for the lost, beginning with your brothers. It is a source of sadness and pain for you, I know. But it is necessary for you to feel these things that you might power through and keep working to help them. If you did not feel such love, you would be able to just walk away and leave them to their own end. Yet, you cannot. You are not weak, you are not codependent. You are on a mission from me. Yes, you are in a deep spiritual battle with your brothers. They are enveloped in darkness. Pray fervently before dealing with them. But do not give up on them, I have not. There is yet a chance for their salvation. No, you cannot save them, but you can assist them in seeing Truth. Their souls are wrapped in lies. Eternally deadly lies. Hang in there. What surrounds them cannot harm you. You are mine. I have already defeated that darkness. Those spirits know that you are mine. That is why they continually attempt to weaken you, to frighten you, to push you back. Stand firm. You are mine and I am yours. They have no power over you other than what you give them. Give no ground. Do not move. I will fight this battle for you. You are surrounded by my warriors. They will allow no real harm to come to you. Do you believe? Will you trust? It all hinges on the answers to those two questions. Yes, your belief and trust will waver. I know. I understand. Just allow me to fortify you in both areas. Ask, my child. Constantly seek my help. Choose to trust. Choose to believe. First the choice, then come the assurances. You are my precious child. I will not allow your ultimate defeat, though there will be setbacks. Power on.
Yes, this is harsh. There will be persecution. There is much persecution of my followers already. It is growing all over the world. It is surprisingly prevalent in this hemisphere. Yes, you are used to seeing and reading about persecution of believers in Africa, in muslim nations, in Asia. But here…in the US, in Canada, in Europe? Yes, even in all these places. It has begun and will continue and worsen. Be prepared. You enemy may “win” some battles, but is aware that the overall war has already been won by me. Hence, his upswing in attacks. The time is growing short. He knows that. But, so do you. Hang on to that knowledge. I am coming soon. (2018)
