Before\r\nI get into today's Coffee Break, I have an issue that needs attention. One of\r\nour primary forums for publishing these posts -- Multiply.com -- has decided to\r\ncease operating in its present form. Our forum -- http:\/\/RegnersRangers.Multiply.com<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/u> -- has already\r\nbeen closed to any updating. It is up to date as of a couple weeks ago, but\r\neight years worth of Coffee Break archives will vanish as of December 1, 2012.\r\nWith something on the order of 100,000 readers who access the 30+ Multiply\r\nforums on which these columns appear will suddenly be without access. That means\r\nwe will have to scramble to move the Coffee Breaks to a new site -- and that\r\nsite has yet to be determined. If any of you are looking for something to do\r\nand you have the necessary skills to create a whole new site from scratch,\r\nplease contact me immediately.<\/span><\/b><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n

Secondly,\r\nfor about the umptieth<\/span> time, my MSN account was\r\nhacked and a large number of you received spam messages which purported to come\r\nfrom me. Once we are able to get a substitute website up to replace the\r\nMultiply site, I will be dumping MSN as an email provider. Even though I've\r\nbeen with MSN for nearly 20 years, the fact that privacy issues are not a\r\npriority with them, and the fact that -- increasingly -- users of MSN are\r\nnearly as prone to hacking as AOL users makes it necessary to make these\r\nchanges.<\/span><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n

Anyway,\r\nonward and upwards!<\/span><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n

Let's\r\nbegin today by drawing a completely different picture of tribulation than the\r\none (or ones) referred to in the previous Coffee Breaks. First, let me lay a\r\nfoundation for this from Revelation 5:9-11.<\/span><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n

\"And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take\r\nthe book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast<\/span>\r\nslain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and\r\ntongue, and people, and nation; And hast made us unto our God kings and\r\npriests: and we shall reign on the earth<\/u>. And I beheld, and I heard the\r\nvoice of many angels round about the throne and the beasts and the elders: and\r\nthe number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of\r\nthousands.\"<\/span><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n

(Note:\r\nThe KJV translates the Greek<\/span> <\/span>zoon<\/span><\/i><\/b>\r\n<\/span>as\r\n\"beast.\" This is a somewhat misleading translation since the word\r\nactually should translate as \"living being\" or perhaps more\r\naccurately, \"living creature,\" without actually identifying the kind\r\nof \"being.\" That, however, is a separate discussion for some later\r\ntime.)<\/span><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n

In\r\nsharing the Revelation of Jesus Christ, one of John's opening remarks (see\r\nRevelation 1:5-6) goes like this:<\/span>\r\n<\/span>\"And from Jesus Christ, who is<\/i> the faithful witness,\r\nand<\/i> the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the\r\nearth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood, And\r\nhath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father<\/u>; to him be<\/i>\r\nglory and dominion for ever<\/span> and ever. Amen.\"<\/span><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n

Where\r\nwe're going in our picture of tribulation that John is instructed to share is\r\npreceded by the fact that we are FIRST AND FOREMOST<\/span> <\/span>\"kings and priests unto God;<\/span>\" and that being the case, we are\r\ngiven an assignment and a responsibility, specifically:<\/span> <\/span>\"and we shall reign on the earth.\"<\/span><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n

OK,\r\nso far? The ability to \"reign on the earth\"<\/b> is a direct\r\nbyproduct of overcoming each of the enemies described in the seven letters --\r\nand this is important to our understanding of where John is taking us next.<\/span><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n

Notice\r\nalso that the 5th chapter of Revelation opens with John seeing the Lord Jesus\r\nChrist as the Lion of Judah being handed a book which was sealed with seven\r\nseals. Each of those seals had a prophetic significance for which John now\r\nreceives understanding and revelation.<\/span><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n

Chapter\r\n6 is a clear description of the opening of the first six seals and gives us an\r\nunderstanding of events which have been taking place in the earth since the\r\nday(s) that John was first given this Revelation.<\/span><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n

The\r\nfirst seal is opened by the Lord, a sound of thunder (the Greek word,<\/span> <\/span>bronte<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/span>: a roar, an explosion of sound<\/u><\/b>)\r\nis heard and John sees a white horse and a rider with both a crown and a bow\r\ngoing forth to conquer. What John is seeing is the spirit of antichrist. The\r\nparticular Greek word used here is the same word (actually the root) which\r\nappears in Revelation 2:6 and 2:15 as \"Nicolaitanes<\/span>.\"\r\nIn previous Coffee Breaks (and in a forthcoming book titled<\/span> <\/span>SEVEN\r\nNATIONS, SEVEN LETTERS<\/span><\/i><\/b>) I have dealt with the<\/span>\r\n<\/span>\"doctrine of the Nicolaitanes<\/span>\"<\/span> <\/span>as\r\nwell as<\/span> <\/span>\"the deeds of the Nicolaitanes<\/span>\"<\/span>\r\n<\/span>which\r\nthe Lord specifically labels as<\/span> <\/span>\"which thing I hate!\"<\/span><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n

The\r\nunique thing about the word \"Nicolaitane<\/span>\"\r\nis that it is a reversible contraction of two words:<\/span> <\/span>nicos<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/span>\r\n<\/span>[or\r\nnicaos<\/span>] -- meaning, power<\/u><\/b>; and<\/span> <\/span>laos<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/span>\r\n<\/span>--\r\nmeaning, the common people<\/u><\/b>. As previously noted, depending on how\r\nyou contract these two Greek words you wind up with<\/span> <\/span>\"power\r\nover the people\"<\/span><\/i><\/b> <\/span>(or hierarchical\r\nchurch structure) or<\/span> <\/span>\"power to the people\"<\/span><\/i><\/b> <\/span>(more\r\nsimply described as democracy in the church) or \"congregational\"\r\nchurch government. No matter how you slice it, you come up with humanism and\r\nhumanistic control -- i.e., \"man in control\" -- rather than the\r\ngovernment of God.<\/span><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n

It\r\nis antichrist because it substitutes mankind -- whether that be power filtered\r\ndown through tiers of leadership, or power exercised by the masses -- in place\r\nof the Lord Jesus Christ and\/or the leadership of Holy Spirit. It presupposes\r\nthat a man (or men) lack the individual ability to hear what Holy Spirit is\r\nsaying and how He chooses to lead His people; and it substitutes man-made\r\ndecision-making for direct leadership AND THE ANOINTING of Holy Spirit.<\/span><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n

Thus,\r\ndepending on how you render<\/span> <\/span>nicos<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/span> <\/span>and<\/span> <\/span>laos<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/span>, you have a single individual (or a\r\nsmall group of individuals through tiers of leadership) exercising the power to\r\nconquer the masses in the body of Christ; or you have the masses in the\r\ncongregations dictating (through the taking of votes) who their leader is to\r\nbe, how that leader is to lead, and what he (or she) is permitted to preach or\r\nteach. You have a form of Godliness. You have some real, genuine preaching of\r\nparts of the Gospel, but the demonstrable authority of Holy Spirit is missing;\r\nand the promised signs to follow the believer are absent. There is no\r\n\"gospel of the Kingdom\" with the attendant authority and power to\r\ndemonstrate.<\/span><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n

In\r\nthis illustration (in Revelation 6:2) of the rider on the white horse, you see\r\nthe false Christ going forth \"conquering, and to conquer.\" It was\r\nalready happening in John's day, and it certainly is happening today!<\/span><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n

John\r\nnext sees the second seal opened, and with that seal a rider on a red horse who\r\nwas given the ability to steal peace in such a way as to cause men and women to\r\nturn on each other with accusations, personal attacks and even kill each other.\r\nYou'll observe that John describes this particular rider as having a great\r\nsword. What you are seeing is a classic picture of a religious spirit being\r\ndriven and motivated by the Fear of Evil. The word in the Greek text translated\r\nhere as \"a great sword\" is the word<\/span>\r\n<\/span>machaira<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/span>, and it is a\r\ncommonly-used term meant to describe the execution of judicial punishment.<\/span><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n

Although\r\nthis spirit is certainly alive and well and operating in the earth today --\r\nwith a vengeance, I might add -- it is my personal conviction that John saw the\r\ntribunals under the various Roman Emperors and the Inquisition that took place\r\nin the Dark Ages in which false accusations were leveled against Christians,\r\nand they were put to death through absolutely unbelievable methods. Torture,\r\nmutilation, beheadings, being burned at the stake, thrown to the lions, used as\r\ntarget practice for gladiators -- these were but a few of the means used to try\r\nto get Christians to recant their faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. (If you\r\nhaven't read Foxe's Book of Martyrs, I strongly recommend it to you.)<\/span><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n

Tribulation?\r\nYesssirrrreeee<\/span>!!! We're at war, folks! We are at war\r\nagainst Satan, his hordes of demons and his agenda of lies and deception\r\nagainst the people of God. He opposes us. He opposes the Lord Jesus Christ. He\r\nopposes the Plan that Father God put in place before the foundation of the\r\nearth. Anyone who thinks they can live in this world and walk as lights in this\r\ngeneration without suffering tribulation is simply deluding him- or herself. So\r\nlong as we walk with the Lord we will be opposed, persecuted and fought against\r\nwith death as Satan's purposed objective.<\/span><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n

Now\r\nJohn sees the third seal opened, and with that seal the release of a black\r\nhorse with a rider whose primary objective was to change weather patterns that\r\nwould alter growing seasons in such a way as to ruin crop harvests, bring\r\ndrought and release pestilence. His plan? To starve people through famine and\r\nrelease plagues of diseases across the earth. Have we seen this? You bet! So\r\nthat you understand that John was seeing something that was about to unfold in\r\nthe near future -- let alone the distant future! -- between 400 AD and 800 AD,\r\nthe population of Rome lost 90% of its inhabitants due to famine and\r\nstarvation.<\/span><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n

Let\r\nme bring this more up to date. Between 1810 and 1849, four famines raged\r\nthroughout China taking 45 million lives. Between 1959 and 1961, a continuous\r\ncycle of famine took another estimated 43 million lives in China. Even more to\r\nthe present, in 2009 an estimated 10 million Kenyans lost their lives due to\r\nfamine and disease, and that doesn't count those in Somalia, Ethiopia, East\r\nAfrica and Niger. And we haven't even begun to talk about the famines that have\r\noccurred within the past decade in Russia, Siberia, Vietnam or North Korea!<\/span><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n

Let's\r\ncontinue with the opening of the seals. Let me remind you that we are NOT\r\nseeing the wrath of God! This, folks, is tribulation -- GREAT tribulation --\r\nand it is going on (and has been ever since John was allowed to see it!)<\/span><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n

The\r\nfourth seal is opened, and John sees a pale (Greek:<\/span> <\/span>chloros<\/span><\/span> <\/span>>\r\ngreen) horse. The rider in this instance is Death, and John tells us that\r\n\"Hell followed with him.\" In this instance we have the picture of\r\ndeath having authority over a quarter of the earth. Specific delegated\r\nauthority was given to kill with the sword (persecution, wars and conflicts),\r\nfamine, pestilence (all kinds of diseases -- some of them exotic diseases) and\r\nwith wild beasts (Greek:<\/span> <\/span>therion<\/span><\/span> <\/span>> savage beasts,\r\nvenomous creatures).<\/span><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n

Here\r\nagain we have a picture of something that has been going on nonstop for the\r\npast 2,000 years. I will remind you that literally millions of Christians were\r\nkilled at the hands of the various Roman emperors for their testimony. Wars of\r\none kind or another and conflicts have raged throughout the centuries. The\r\nsignificant difference was the beginning of the 20th Century in which -- for\r\nthe first time in history -- much of the entire world was engaged in a\r\nconflict. The world was still recovering from World War I when Hitler came to\r\npower in Germany, Stalin came to power in Russia and Mussolini came to power in\r\nItaly.<\/span><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n

Everyone\r\nthinks that Hitler was the measurement standard of all that is evil when he\r\nslaughtered six million Jews, (and we're not arguing that) but no one thinks\r\nabout the 13 million Christians and Jews (and people in general who opposed\r\nStalin) murdered during Stalin's regime. Add to that the estimated 1.25 million\r\nkilled under Mussolini's regime and you have more than 20 million people who\r\nwere murdered under these three dictators between 1939 and 1945.<\/span><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n

Let's\r\nmake it a bit more recent. How about the uprising in Tahrir<\/span>\r\nSquare in Cairo? How many of you saw the news piece on CNN and on MSNBC (on\r\nFebruary 2, 2011) where they were covering the uprising? In the video clip\r\nthere is a very clear picture of a pale green rider on a pale green horse\r\nriding into the crowd. The rider has a sword in hand, and two angelic beings\r\naccompany him. Suddenly the rider and the accompanying beings disappear as\r\nthough they simply faded away. The appearance of this rider really caught the\r\nattention of the news media, but Christian commentators latched onto it\r\nimmediately as a sign of a prophetic event unfolding. Perhaps you've seen the\r\nnews being reported in the past few days by FOX News, the Washington Times,\r\nWorld Net Daily and other news media where the Muslim Brotherhood is crucifying\r\nChristians on trees in plain sight for the world to see.<\/span><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n

Now,\r\nlet's add to all of this the incredible famines we've already talked about; and\r\nthen there are all the stories in the news about pets turning on their masters\r\nand killing them, zoo animals escaping and killing people in the streets, wild\r\nanimals -- cougars, bears, mountain lions (you name it) -- coming into\r\ncommunities and attacking people. OK<\/i><\/b>,<\/i> you say, but\r\nwe've heard these kinds of stories for years!<\/i><\/b> <\/i>Sure you have, but\r\nhow many years? 10, 20, 30 years? Compared to the last few centuries, folks,\r\nthese stories are increasing dramatically.<\/span><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n

The\r\npicture now changes as the Revelation continues to unfold for John. The fifth\r\nseal is broken and John sees the great altar with the souls of the thousands\r\nand millions of people throughout time who had been murdered because of their\r\ntestimony, and because of their faithfulness in standing for and upon the Word\r\nof God. He hears the cry coming forth from them asking the Lord how much longer\r\nthe wicked would be permitted to continue before the blood of those slain was\r\navenged.<\/span><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n

The\r\nLord lets John know that white robes (wedding garments) were given to all of\r\nthem, and that they should just relax a bit longer until those who still\r\nremained who would be killed were put to death. If you understand this picture,\r\nthen you understand that the tribulation and persecution seen when the second\r\nand fourth seals were opened was still incomplete, and that there was yet an\r\nadditional number of believers to die because of the Word of the Lord in them,\r\nand because of their testimony.<\/span><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n

Let\r\nme pause for a moment to comment on remarks I've heard from numerous Christians\r\nover the past few years. A common point of contention among many is that a\r\nloving God would never put His people through such persecution and tribulation,\r\nallowing them to be murdered in cold blood because of their testimony<\/i><\/b>.\r\nWhat these misguided Christians fail to see and understand is that, first of\r\nall, God is NOT a sadist! He isn't the one doing all of this.<\/span><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n

This\r\nis the work of Satan who opposes and exalts himself above all that the Lord\r\nJesus Christ is (and has been) doing. With every cell of his existence, Satan\r\nseeks to prevent the Lord from receiving His inheritance in a people who are\r\nHis exact counterpart, His other self, His precise image! These are a people\r\nwho victoriously rise above the persecution, the opposition, the tribulation\r\nand the threat of death to overcome every effort of the Enemy to prevent them\r\nfrom being that counterpart of Jesus Christ.<\/span><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n

Death\r\nis no threat to them whatever! They have no fear of death! The comfort of their\r\nflesh is irrelevant when compared to the Glory of the Lord being revealed IN\r\nTHIS HOUR!!! And John saw it! He could testify firsthand to it. Let's not\r\nforget that when John was given this Revelation of Jesus Christ and put it down\r\nin writing for the body of Christ to read, the Roman Emperor, Domitian, had\r\ntried to put John to death. Failing that, he tried to torture John by dipping\r\nhim into a vat of boiling oil. John came out of that vat unscathed and\r\nunmarked. When that failed, he exiled him to the Isle of Patmos so as to rid\r\nthe empire of John's influence. Even that failed! John could therefore write\r\nthe Revelation as a victorious survivor and overcomer<\/span>.<\/span><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n

If\r\nwe are to believe historical documents, John lived to the year 116 or 117 AD,\r\nfinally dying in Ephesus at an age easily exceeding 110 years. The early church\r\nfather, Polycarp, who suffered martyrdom himself, was a disciple of John being\r\nmentored in the Gospel by a man who clearly understood the message of the overcomer<\/span>.<\/span><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n

Here's\r\nhow John saw it, personally experienced it, and described it:<\/span> <\/span>\"And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come\r\nsalvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his\r\nChrist: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before\r\nour God day and night. 11<\/sup>And they overcame him by the blood of\r\nthe Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives\r\nunto the death<\/u>.\"<\/span><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n

Get\r\nit? John is seeing the final moment of victory when every effort and every\r\ndevice of Satan is put down because of (1) the legal authority given to the\r\nbelievers by and through the blood of Jesus, (2) the faithful testimony of the overcomers<\/span> as they testified to what the blood of Jesus\r\naccomplished in defeating Satan, and (3) they never let the threat of death\r\ndeter them, even though -- for many -- torturous death did come as Satan tried\r\nto force them to change their confession.<\/span><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n

I've\r\nsaid it before and I'll say it again! Great tribulation? You bet! Getting raptured<\/span> or caught away<\/span> out of it\r\nso that you don't have to experience great tribulation? NOT if you want the\r\nGlory of the Lord to be revealed in the here and now AND gain the final victory\r\nthat Jesus has given us over Satan!<\/span><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n

Next\r\nweek we'll look at the breaking of the sixth seal and the significance of the\r\nevents that John saw, and if we have the time to do it we'll look at the eighth\r\nchapter to see the wrath of God.<\/i><\/span><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n


\r\n<\/span>\"<\/span><\/b>A phenomenal opportunity to encounter and\r\nembrace our Heavenly Father is being given to the Church around the world\r\ntoday. It is one that must be welcomed and protected. With the dawning of this\r\nnew day in Church History, the anointing of Heaven is disbursed in the\r\nspiritual atmosphere so those truly seeking Truth can lay hold of it and obtain\r\ngreat insight with understanding. As Sons of the Kingdom ask with sincerity for\r\nthis deposit, it will be received. Our spiritual eyes will be illumined to see\r\nthe Scriptures from Heaven's perspective, not merely man's.<\/span><\/b>
\r\n
\r\n<\/span>The spiritual realities that are being birthed\r\nin the earth now will have no end<\/span><\/b>. They will literally\r\nflow into the Millennial age and the coming manifestation of His Kingdom on the\r\nearth.<\/span><\/b>
\r\n
\r\n<\/span>Though we do not know when those days will be fully revealed, we\r\ndo know that the purposes now being birthed will advance directly into that\r\nage.<\/span><\/b> <\/span><\/b>We will\r\nbegin to taste the good Word of God and the power of the age to come.<\/span><\/b> <\/span><\/b>Like the beloved disciple John in his notable\r\nrevelations, we will be allowed to eat the open book containing the full\r\nmanifestation of the Lord's redemptive plans and purposes. This will be the\r\ntasting of His Kingdom Word and a demonstration of Kingdom might, in order to\r\nwonderfully introduce the Lord Jesus in truth and power, to an entire\r\ngeneration<\/span><\/b>.<\/span>(Prophetic Word from Paul Keith Davis)<\/span><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n

Blessings on you!<\/span><\/b><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n
