What lies before us

In 1991, I wrote of the approaching storm in the Preface of Living Laodicea (1991):

I saw in the Spirit, a globe - a globe of the world. Surrounding the globe was a thin layer of cloud. Suddenly the clouds began to gather.

The clouds deepened. The winds blew. A chill was in the air. A thunderstorm was emerging. Soon, there was only one cloud over the globe - a large thundercloud. A storm is approaching the earth.  

The Holy Spirit said, 'Look in the Spirit. What do you see?' I looked. I saw nothing; so I replied, 'Nothing.' The Spirit spoke again, gently, 'Look again.' I looked. I saw a large, china jar in the Spirit. It was empty inside. Then I saw another jar, but broken. Then the Spirit spoke: 'Much of the doctrine today is like that jar - beautiful to behold, but no substance; it is found wanting in My balances. Look at the other jar. Indeed this doctrine will be like the broken jar. All will see it and say, 'Behold the jar. Look. It has no substance.'  

The Spirit showed me a chariot in the Spirit. A horse-driven chariot. The dust rose as it moved over the plain. Then the Spirit spoke:  

'The chariot is rushing on,

the horses run furiously;

when all things must be

fulfilled.'     

Today, twenty years later, we are in the midst of that storm. It began in 2006-2007 and it will increase in strength and intensity as the nations of this world descend into the second dip – the coming great depression or total economic confusion which eventually leads to a global government headed by the Antichrist.

FRAUD [Excerpt from the Sequel to the above new release, 'Living Laodicea']

One of the signs of the times often overlooked today is fraud. James tells us that fraud comes just before the latter rain, the move of God that we have been expecting for decades.

The signs of the times are more that general trends in these end-times. Rather, they are things which comes to the centre stage of world headlines and take the media spotlight.

Today, fraud is centre stage. We see the stripping of bankrupt nations like Greece and the dramatic increase of corporate insolvent bankruptcies throughout much of the Western nations. Indeed, these are perilous times and times in which we should not be taking big risks in our investments.

There seems to be a small group of people in the last of the last days who are dominated by greed and a love of money. They defraud the masses to enrich themselves.

Let us consider what James said.

JAMES 5:1-8

Come now, you rich, weep and howl for

your miseries that are coming upon

you!

Your riches are corrupted, and your

garments are moth-eaten.

Your gold and silver are corroded, and

their corrosion will be a witness against you

and will eat your flesh like fire. You have

heaped up treasure in the last days.

Indeed the wages of the labourers who

mowed your fields, which you kept back by

fraud, cry out; and the cries of the reapers

have reached the ears of the Lord of the Sabaoth.

You have lived on the earth in pleasure

and luxury; you have fattened your hearts

as in a day of slaughter.

you have condemned, you have mur-

dered the just; he does not resist you.

Therefore be patient, brethren, until the

coming of the Lord. See how the farmer waits

for the precious fruit of the earth, waiting

patiently for it until it receives the early and

latter rain.

You also be patient. Establish your

hearts, for the coming of the Lord is at hand.

We have seen the rise of large banks which were bailed out by governments, the rise of technocrats – bankers -  to head up nations in Europe and the beginnings of globalism with bankers taking more and more of a prominent role.

Fraud thrives in darkness. It hides in the shadows and hates the light. It shows forth the opposite character of transparency. Transparency and integrity are closely related.

Fraud often goes hand-in-hand with insolvent bankruptcies. Both businesses and nations fall in this manner.

Consider the fraud which often rears its head in an insolvent company which goes into bankruptcy. What happens is that the directors seek to keep the business alive as long as possible as this is beneficial to them. However, investors or creditors would like to see the business shut down as soon as it becomes insolvent as their loss increases from the point of insolvency. Creditors and investors are defrauded by directors who seek their own interests which is really their own enrichment. In this way, companies are stripped or financially raped. Directors take out as much as they can in the good years using the capital of investors and take much as they can out of the company when it collapses leaving the investors and creditors with huge losses.

Recently, a new Company Act has been introduced in South Africa which prohibits companies from trading while insolvent. This is a good thing as it helps to root out fraud and corruption (through loopholes in the law) in a time in which it is rife globally.

A few years ago, the National Credit Act was put into legislation to limit credit and to protect South Africans from falling into the black hole of debt. This also was a loophole used by unscrupulous business people which has been closed.  A third piece of legislation, the Consumer Protection Act, has also been recently introduced into South African law to protect citizens from unscrupulous businessmen.

It seems that from this passage, judgment on these fraudsters is imminent. The whole global financial system is on the brink of collapse and the collapse will affect both the fraudsters and those defrauded. Even believers will be defrauded. According to this Scripture, believers will also suffer from this fraud unless the Lord so chooses to keep them from it. The Scriptures declare that the Antichrist will eventually come from a new unified Europe, bringing the stronger centralized approach to the rest of the world.

Just as the extent of the fraud is much worse if a company is insolvent for a long time before bankruptcy, so too ‘kicking the can down the road’ for a country will have much worse consequences that simply quickly defaulting. No countries are taking the default option. Instead, they print more money and accept more bailouts and asset-stripping, moving deeper and deeper into debt.

Sometimes, it is recklessness. Other times, fraud. Both recklessness and fraud will cost us dearly. Investors and creditors lose heavily in failing companies and the taxpayer takes up the tab in bankrupt nations.

How do we - believers - respond to this? ....

Knowing Him both as Jehovah and Elohim

By DN Hoets

All born-again believers have a personal relationship with Jesus. However, knowing Him deeply and having
a stable, solid relationship comes only to the extent that we have become established in the classical Christian foundation. Here we begin to truly know Him as Jehovah.

All believers have also received Him as Elohim i.e as the Creator (In the beginning God) of the universe. However, many have not understood the fullness of knowing Him as Elohim. He is our Sovereign Lord and all the end-time events such as earthquakes are in His hand. Satan can only do that which he is permitted to. Satan is a dog on a leash!
Learning to receive all things from His (God's) hand is only possible if we have a deeper revelation of Him as Elohim. Receiving all things from His hand (taking up His cross) is essential if we are to truly abide in Him, grow up in the things of God and to overcome in the end-times.

We need to know Him both as Jehovah and Elohim; not just as Jehovah or only as Elohim as unbelievers do.

Haggai: the Book of Tomorrow

By DN Hoets

Haggai has been an important book to me over the years as it gives clarity to the last of the last days. I have spent much time before the Lord in this little book of two chapters.

Where are we today? In Haggai 2: 21-22. Here the Lord says ,

I will shake heaven (first - climate change - and second heaven) and earth (compare with Haggai 1: 6-9)
I will overthrow the throne of kingdoms (Arab uprisings)
I will destroy the strength (United States- this can be seen to be broader than only the US) of the Gentile kingdoms.
I will overthrow the chariots
And those who ride in them;
The horses and their riders shall come down,
Every one by the sword of his brother. (indicates a more violent civil war outcome of uprisings)

I will... make you as a signet ring.

I see that the falling of the United States as a world empire is sandwiched between the second and forth I will. In other words, it takes place during the time of the Arab uprisings. The economic meltdown will affect ALL nations as all things in the book of Haggai are global in nature. Haggai 1:6 gives us the clue to the economic impact of what is to come and to hyper-inflation as the key problem. In other words, the dollar becomes worthless.

This is already taking place as we come to Passover this year with the US debt being center stage of world headlines as well as gold and silver reaching record highs; the dollar reaching record lows.

Some of you may be asking? Will God protect me if I invest in silver and gold? Although there is some truth in that oil, gold and silver are the best performers during hyperinflation - I believe even gold and silver will eventually be shaken. 'The silver is Mine, and the gold is Mine' (Haggai 2:8) refers to the 'buy from Me gold' in Revelation 3. God has never sought a wealthy end-time church but one which has the true foundation as given in the rock-solid Classical Christian foundation and which is full of His glory... only made possible by what our Lord Jesus did for us on Calvary centuries ago, purchasing us by His own Blood...

Heavenly Perspective

By DN Hoets

Just a short while ago, the nations of the earth have been shaken by the Great Recession. Many nations are still in a fragile state and are still in the process of recovering.

Once again, fear and uncertainty grips the world as another great earthquake and a likely nuclear meltdown in Japan unfolds. This fear and uncertainty comes forth clearly in the financial markets. Iran (together with Syria) seek nuclear weapons with the intent to destroy Israel, wars (Libya) and rumours of wars abound (Arab nations) affecting the oil price and inflation, as the earth trembles in the last of the last days.

Haggai spoke of the worldwide shaking that would begin before the coming glory at the end of the age. The Lord Himself spoke of five signs in Matthew 24 and two signs in Luke 21 which would increase in intensity and magnitude like birth pangs before His return.

While these signs are a humbling call for the lost to repent and to turn to Jesus Christ, believers are not to be troubled but to lift up their heads for our redemption draws near. We are to have a heavenly perspective and not to fear. This perspective has often been marred by the church and really needs to be grasped in these turbulent times. The rock-solid Classical Christian foundation brings forth this heavenly perspective that we need to be established in and will keep us rooted and unshaken in our Sovereign Lord Jesus who has the whole world in His hands.

Special Bulletin by Rick Joyner: Japanese Earthquake, A Prophetic Demarcation in Time

In this Video Special Bulletin, Rick Joyner shares about the Japanese earthquake, which was prophesied 22 years ago, and how this event signifies the beginning of a worldwide economic meltdown. Rick also shares about another massive earthquake that has been prophesied to hit the west coast sometime after the Japanese shaking. The unraveling of the American economy is coming, and we must prepare. However, this does not mean we are without hope. This is a wake up call for us, and we can wake up to perhaps one of the greatest opportunities in history for good to triumph over evil. (Bob Jones 22 years ago)

Watch the video by Rick Joyner by following this link. (Script .. more)

David Wilkerson in The Vision 1974: The US is going to experience, in the not-too-distant future, the most tragic earthquake in its history... Another earthquake, possibly in Japan, may precede the one that I am seeing coming here.... there is worldwide economic confusion just ahead... I see total economic confusion striking Europe first and then affecting Japan, the United States, Canada, and all other nations shortly thereafter.

A lot of what David Wilkerson saw years ago was not really fulfilled in the past Great Recession. However, it seems that it is a double-dip recession and the second dip is just ahead!

Pat Robertson's Prophecies for 2011
The word was in 2012 the man who is going to be elected president, will preside over quote, "an impoverished nation" – it's hard to believe that could happen, but it can quickly.

"Your country is in grave peril. The leaders have hearkened to the demands of interest groups and have led your nation into bankruptcy. In two years will come a time of reckoning." "Your creditors will demand payment and there will not be enough to satisfy their claims. Your currency will shrink in value, your bonds will lose value, people on fixed incomes will suffer, unemployment will escalate, and there will be turmoil."
