Prophecy: The Worldwide Running of the Bulls

From Nicole Moore

Wednesday in the week of the coordinated Paris attacks, while praying, I began to cry uncontrollably. This only happens when I know “something” is going to happen. I begin to feel like this when a major earthquake or other major disaster is approaching. Then Friday, early in the morning, the day of the Paris attacks, I had a dream:

Dream and Revelation Given to Nicole

There were huge bulls that were loose on the streets. These did not seem like normal, cattle bulls. They were huge, muscular, and they looked aggressive. They were in various locations, all roaming loose. I knew their mission was to hurt the people.

I saw fire engines and police chasing to locations where the bulls were. I was in a car and could see the bulls running. I was not fearful. When I read about the Paris attacks later that evening, I knew the dream was linked to this event.

Additional Revelation Given to Debra Walker

The bulls are certain demons or demonic spirits, some of which pushed the Muslims to act in Paris. Paris was practice. They wanted to see whether they could be successful in getting various groups to synchronize watches and then also hit their assorted attacks at the same time.

These bulls/spirits have been sent to many locations around the globe, especially where there are significant numbers of Muslims among non-Muslim populations. This is the first time I understand from the Lord that the upcoming huge, coordinated Muslim attack is not limited to the USA. When the attack comes, it will be everywhere they are in the world. Their dual purpose is to instill terror as well as annihilate those who will not convert to Islam. Thus their intent is to have the orchestrated attacks all occur at the same time on the clock in each time zone. It will only take three time zones for people around the globe to realize this, and then as the planet turns and the designated time comes upon each area, people there will be exceedingly fearful, terrorized even before a single, local person is killed. I believe the attacks will start in the Eastern time zone.

Some “fire engines” will actually be the paramedic engines, and some will be the fire engines and fire trucks sent to extinguish the fires resulting from explosions.

Interpretation and Comments

Most of this dream is understood in the revelation, because it is primarily a literal dream (“night vision”) rather than a parable or metaphorical dream. (Although one must keep in mind that the “bulls” will only be seen by certain saints to whom the Lord has given that particular gift of visual discernment. Those who see, pray to break their power!)

Nicole’s car represents her vocation from the Lord, her ministry. She was driving because this event marks the time of transition she will experience in expanding into the apostolic. She had no fear because she is founded on the Rock.

Every saint who still experiences fear when reading a post like this, or who worries that they will be afraid when the time comes – decide now to stand on the Rock, Jesus. Out loud, in Jesus’ name, break the power of fear in your life. Renounce the hold fear has had on you. Declare the truth, that you are a child of the Most High God, and fear has no right to attack you. Bind fear in hell, to stay there until Jesus sets it free, and forbid it to return. Decree that from this day forward, you will fear none but God. Read out loud your favorite Psalm(s) that declare you are protected by God. (Psalms 63, 80, and 91 are all good examples with different emphasis; there are many others.)

Nicole's and Debra's Closing Comments

The people who will conduct this jihad are evil to the core. And yet, God created them in love. We feel for all those that are not saved – including the jihadists – and who have no hope. Think of all the lives lost on the Russian plane, and in Paris, who rejected Jesus. Our hearts should hurt for them, being separated from our heavenly Father for eternity.

Pray, saints, pray! Pray like never before! Pray for their salvation. Pray that as people realize this jihad is coming to their time zone, they repent and turn to Jesus! That is the heart of the Father. Pray that these shakings bring repentance and revival for the harvest proclaimed in God’s word.

Scripture

Matthew 5:44-45a KJV: “44 But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; 45 That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven...”
Revelation 14:15 KJV: “And another angel came out of the temple, crying with a loud voice to him that sat on the cloud, Thrust in thy sickle, and reap: for the time is come for thee to reap; for the harvest of the earth is ripe.”

The Nephilim Are Here. Again.

Neville Johnson said, "Jesus said you need to know about this because it is going to happen in your day and age. That's why I'm telling you. I don't like to preach this kind of stuff. You know; it's a bit unsavory. But Jesus said you need to know. You can't put your head in the sand, you know, like an ostrich."

I've periodically asked God various questions about angels (why don't they have wives?), evil spirits (are they all fallen angels as I've been taught?; are some of them ghosts?; do ghosts really exist?), and the Nephilim or children of Anak (can You explain this to me more?). A couple of days ago, I felt led in my spirit to read the Book of Enoch. Enoch was the father of Methuselah and grandfather of Noah. Enoch walked so closely with God that he never died but, like Elijah, was translated directly to heaven. (Genesis 5:24.) What I read was a paradigm shift for some of my beliefs. Was this really from God?

The next morning, I received confirmation. Without knowing about my reading, a prophetic friend (Nicole Moore) recommended that I search for Lancaster Prophetic Conference 2015. I then watched Neville Johnson speaking in Session 1 at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aNiuaZbKGsU. His quote above and other references here are from that video.

Evil spirits (also known as demons) are not, as I used to believe, fallen angels. Rather, they are the spirits of the Nephilim. When the Nephilim were killed, their spirits were condemned to stay on earth.

The Book of Enoch is part of the Apocrypha, inspired ancient writings that were individually either not made as or not kept as books of the Bible. Enoch 15:1 - 16:1 {with my explanatory comments in curly brackets} is part of a prophetic dream given to Enoch:

"15:1 And He answered and said to me, and I heard His voice: 'Fear not, Enoch, thou righteous man and scribe of righteousness: approach hither {here} and hear My voice.

" '2 And go, say to the Watchers of heaven {fallen angels}, who have sent thee to intercede for them: "You should intercede for men, and not men for you:

" ' "3 Wherefore {why} have ye left the high, holy, and eternal heaven, and lain with women, and defiled yourselves with the daughters of men and taken to yourselves wives, and done like the children of earth, and begotten giants (as your) sons?

" ' "4 And though ye were holy, spiritual, living the eternal life, you have defiled yourselves with the blood of women, and have begotten (children) with the blood of flesh, and, as the children of men, have lusted after flesh and blood as those also do who die and perish.

" ' "5 Therefore have I given them {men} wives also that they might impregnate them, and beget children by them, that thus nothing might be wanting to them on earth.

" ' "6 But you {fallen angels} were formerly spiritual, living the eternal life, and immortal for all generations of the world.

" ' "7 And therefore I have not appointed wives for you; for as for the spiritual ones of the heaven {angels}, in heaven is their dwelling.

" ' "8 And now, the giants {Nephilim}, who are produced from the spirits {fallen angels} and flesh, shall be called evil spirits upon the earth, and on the earth shall be their dwelling.

" ' "9 Evil spirits have proceeded from their bodies; because they are born from men, and from the holy Watchers is their beginning and primal origin; they shall be evil spirits on earth, and evil spirits shall they be called."

" '10 [As for the spirits of heaven {angels}, in heaven shall be their dwelling, but as for the spirits of the earth which were born upon the earth, on the earth shall be their dwelling.]

" '11 And the spirits of the giants {evil spirits} afflict, oppress, destroy, attack, do battle, and work destruction on the earth, and cause trouble: they take no food, but nevertheless hunger and thirst, and cause offences. And these spirits shall rise up against the children of men and against the women, because they have proceeded from them.

" '16:1 From the days of the slaughter and destruction and death of the giants, from the souls of whose flesh the spirits, having gone forth, shall destroy without incurring judgement - thus shall they destroy until the day of the consummation, the great judgement in which the age shall be consummated, over the Watchers and the godless, yea, shall be wholly consummated.'"

Did you see the answers to my questions?

While reminding the audience of the story of Noah, and God destroying the entire human race except for one family, Neville talks about Nephilim, the giants in the Bible, offspring of fallen angels and human women. At 55:50 minutes he begins to relate the story of an American Special Forces group on a mission in the mountains of Afghanistan when they began to be attacked by someone throwing huge boulders down at them. They responded to the attack and killed him.

When they climbed up closer to him, they were amazed at what they saw:  a literal giant, apparently nearly three times their height, with six fingers on each hand and six toes on each foot. The picture of him tied up for transport at the air strip and with soldiers standing behind him, is at 56:45. In this picture, which looks like an artist's rendering, the giant has grey skin. There is no description given of the giant while alive; I don't know if his skin was always grey or it turned grey after death.

Remember all those people who came forward over the last several decades to say they had been abducted by aliens and were subjected to medical tests and experimentation? Looks like the only thing wrong with their story was the "aliens from outer space" part. No aliens, these were evil spirits manifesting as aliens. The people were deceived.

I agree with Neville, who opined that God prophetically guided Charles Dickens' pen when he wrote, "It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to heaven, we were all going direct the other way..."

The point is that this age of lawlessness will be significantly worse than most of us had probably previously thought about. The evil spirits have managed to reproduce their giant offspring again. And with cloning now available, we could see entire armies of giants. BUT this age will also be significantly better than most of us had thought. Light overpowers darkness! Yes, evil is rising. Yes, we will see evil spirits. Yes, we may face evil giants. But also yes, we will see angels fighting on our behalf!

Do not be like the ten spies who blasphemously prophesied that they could not prevail against the giants in the land! Be like Joshua and Caleb, the two spies who knew the truth - that with God fighting for them, of course they could overcome the giants! But because the people believed the ten and not the two, they wandered in the wilderness for 40 years and died. (Numbers 13-14.)

We are in a battle for our minds. It is the battle of unbelief, which is the wind now blowing for ill across the churches. Listen to the Voice of the Lord! If we lose this battle, we will fall victim to demonic mind control. Trust God and obey Him. If you don't easily hear the Voice of the Lord, pray and ask God to teach you His Voice now!

How are we to overcome giants and such evil? See my earlier post, Wave upon Wave. Neville says that this is the year! This year in the Feast of Tabernacles/Booths/Sukkot, seven days beginning sundown September 27, 2015,  the Jewish Appointed Time that celebrates God lives with us, God is releasing "a new Grace" to His people. In addition to undeserved blessing, God's Grace is power (2 Corinthians 12:7-10). The Waves begin. Are you swimming?

Nicole Moore: Death Coming to American Churches

July 28 - August 18, 2015

[Nicole Moore originally submitted this to z3News.com, and allowed me to edit and repost it here, together with the complete interpretation I received from the Lord. Due to a communications snafu, it was published incompletely on z3News under the title, Islamic Plot to Murder America’s Christian Children Revealed. Other, supportive posts on z3News include Avi Lipkin: “All Churches Are Infiltrated with Muslim Spies” and Islam Poses a New Threat to America’s Children, both by James Bailey. Parts of this post were originally published as comments on z3News, and the last section appeared there as Islamic Attack on Church Kids, Revisited. This entire post has been edited again in making it cohesive, as was my original intention, removing accidental errors, and adding last-minute revelations from the Holy Spirit. All these have been incorporated here. My apologies for the vagaries in formatting. I am still trying to figure this out in Blogspot!]

Nicole's Submission - Dreams, Revelations, and Prophecy


(I fast and pray a lot to hear from the Lord. I am not saying this to brag but so you can understand that daily I desperately seek the Lord to hear from Him. To begin, I am sharing something with you that happened in October, 2014, after coming off a week of prayer and fasting. This has been documented in a church that I attend. The Holy Spirit told me to go to this specific church. This has been shared with the leadership, who made the appropriate changes.

First Revelation


On Sunday, 12th October 2014, I was about to put the boys in children's church. Please note that particular Sunday the routine of the church had changed. The children had to go into the main sanctuary for 30 minutes prior to being released for children’s church. The boys asked if they could hand the slip to the person at the entrance. I responded, "Yes," and when the boys handed the slip over, as the person touched the slip, I heard the audible voice of the Holy Spirit say, "They are going to kill the children." My heart dropped. Such grief welled up in my stomach.

For three days I sought the Lord on this to find what He wanted me to do. My heart was so so heavy regarding this. I contacted some friends and asked them to pray for me, as the Holy Spirit spoke something to me. I did not reveal to them what it was.

October 15, 2014, Dream


Early Wednesday morning, the 15th October, I received a dream:  I was sitting in church. The Pastor came and sat next to me as he knew I wanted to speak with him. I told him the dream. I did not see myself telling him the dream, but when he stood up I knew I had told him. He then walked away. The thing that I noticed in the dream was that all the pews were facing backwards.

At the time I did not know whether this was directly linked to a specific church or whether this was for various churches throughout the USA. What I did know is that it would happen soon. I then spoke with the Co-Pastor who informed me he would share the dream with the Pastor and would pray for clarity.

October 16, 2014, Dream


On Thursday, the 16th October, I had another dream, which began:  I was in a church foyer, and there were a lot of people. All of a sudden a man's face appeared in front of me. I saw his face clearly. He had short, black, wavy hair and was clean shaven. When I looked at him there was no life on his face, and he had no expression. 

His face then disappeared. I began to ask everyone in the foyer, "Did you see that man?" 

All of the people's response was, "No - what man? - we didn't see anyone." 

I then said, "How could you not see him? He was just here."

The scene changed and I was outside the front of the church. I saw the man. He was in front of me, and he then began to walk down the road. I started to shout, "Excuse me!," to get him to stop. The man was wearing grey trousers, a grey shirt, and a black belt. His shirt was not a dress shirt; it was like a tennis shirt, with short sleeves and a collar, and buttons at the top. His skin was olive - not like someone who has been on holiday, but a little darker. He was carrying a black case. So I went after him, shouting "excuse me!," to try and get him to stop. The dream ended.

When I woke up from the dream, my first thought was, he looks like a businessman. I do not know why I thought that, but that is what came to my mind.

 

Additional Revelations


Three weeks passed by and I was fasting and praying again as this kept getting heavier. I sent this message [slightly edited here] to the Co-Pastor:

"I have been in intense prayer and fasting since I last contacted you, regarding what the Holy Spirit had spoken to me. The Holy Spirit keeps bringing this back to me.

"What I am certain of is that it is [name of church] that the enemy has something planned for. 

"In the spirit I know that there is a young man in his teens. He attends [name of church]. I believe he has either recently been saved or claims that he is saved. He is a Muslim man. He is very familiar with the routine in children’s church where this event will happen, but his intentions are not pure; they are evil. He has some connection to a planned event that will be done at [name of church].  He does not work at the church, but I believe he volunteers.

"I keep seeing glimpses while in prayer. The original man in the dream I had seen carrying the case where his face appears in front of me - he gives something to this young teen in the foyer at the Church.

"The more I pray, the heavier this gets. Please check, then check again your volunteers who are working in children’s church."

The appropriate changes have now been made at this church. 

2015 Revelations & Prophecy through Nicole


The reason I am sharing this with you, is that Holy Spirit keeps bringing this back to me again. But this time it is not linked to this specific church:  It is for the USA churches.

In February of this year, 2015, I was running late for Wednesday evening prayer service at 7pm. It was still dark in the evening. As I stepped into the church foyer, Holy Spirit spoke into my spirit and said, “Someone could come in here and kill everyone.” I immediately stopped still in the foyer and looked around. It was dimly lit and no one was around. There was no security, no attendant, no one in the foyer to the main entrance. The doors were open and unattended. I then proceeded to push the sanctuary doors open and there were about 25 people all standing in worship. Bear in mind this is not a small church; it seats around 1000 people.

Something is about to happen in the churches of America. An attack is coming on a large scale. The Church has become complacent, and the enemy is in the camp


I am praying that you do not take this lightly.


Interpretation, Extended Prophecy, and Teaching through Debra Walker



As Nicole noted, this series of dreams and impressions relates to multiple events. The first one has been thwarted. The rest remain in the near future.

October 15th Dream


God talks to us in our dreams, although not necessarily all of them. Sometimes for prophecy, sometimes to call us to pray, and sometimes to teach or instruct us. In the dream, Nicole told the pastor about the dream - that scene was God instructing her through the dream, telling her to do so. 


All the pews were facing backwards, representing how the people of America have turned their backs on God. They have kicked Him and His Holy Bible out of their schools, out of their courtrooms, out of their businesses and daily lives, and now even out of many of their churches.


This confirms a prophetic event given several months ago, when the National Cathedral was used for Islamic prayer on one particular occasion. Every cross of Christ that couldn't be removed was covered in fabric so the attending Muslims would not have to look upon them. But prophetically, each fabric covering represented a burial shroud, for we as a nation have buried Jesus from our conscience. All the pews were moved, shoved aside, to clear the floor for the Muslim prayer rugs. And the way the pews were rearranged, they all faced backwards to the altar.  


Thank God for brave souls like Christine Weick, who “smuggled” herself in, defied the Muslims, and stood in defense of Christ. You can see the half-minute video of her speaking out at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_RaGiyrx9X4. Her voice may have lessened the impact of this prophetic event. Do not doubt the power of even one brave, righteous voice speaking up for Christ, Christians, or Messianic Jews! (The word “Christ” is the Greek for Hebrew's “Meshiach,” or in English, “Messiah.” It means God's holy and appointed One.) If ever it is up to you, the reader, speak up!

The prophecy contained within the event - because it was held at the Cathedral Church of St. Peter and St. Paul in Washington DC, known as the National Cathedral - was that it would be repeated in churches across America, not for one occasion, but intended for permanence. Church buildings and lands will be taken from Christians and given to Muslims. Just as the pews were shoved aside, the congregations of these churches will be shoved aside. The sanctity of Christian worship will be replaced by the abomination of worshiping Allah.


Woe to the churches that are buried in debt; most of them will lose their buildings and lands in the economic collapse. Debt that lasts beyond the Sabbath year, the year of Sh’mitah (seven years at most), is outside the will of God and never should have been entered into. (See Deuteronomy 15:1-11, including the blessings for following this particular command.  Command-related blessings such as these are reversed into curses when the command is not kept. For an example, see Leviticus 26:3-13 for the blessings of obedience, and 26:14-43 for the curses of disobedience.) We are in the year of Sh’mitah now; it ends at sundown on September 14, 2015. And this is the year when God’s patience ends. He will enforce His commands this year.

October 16th dream


Nicole clearly saw the man's face because the Lord wanted her to understand there was a specific person involved in the first part of the prophecy, the part for last November, which was averted. 


He had no life or expression on his face because he also represents those who are brainwashed, hypnotized, and will act as automatons. (Remember the underwear bomber? People reported him looking expressionless, as if he was under powerful hypnosis, even as his underwear caught fire and gave him third-degree burns.) This is demonic mind control. All who have not been transformed by the renewing of their mind (Romans 12:2) will be susceptible to it. Renew your mind by reading God's word, the Bible, aloud and meditating on it; Jesus...cleansed her by the washing of water with the word... (Ephesians 5:26; see 5:25-27). "Water" in this verse represents the Holy Spirit.


The man’s face appeared and then disappeared because God knew his efforts would come to no effect last autumn. Nobody could see him because he would blend in and be unnoticed in the crowd. (Both that man at her church last November, and the multitude he represents prophetically at other churches going forward.) When Nicole saw the man outside, he walked down the road because those who perform his function will largely get away with it. 


He was wearing grey with a black belt because he also represents the evil spirits directing this atrocity in the near future. They will inhabit the poor souls used to carry it out. (In dreams, angels or spirits generally do not have visible or discernible faces. He was walking away from Nicole, so she could not see his face. Good ones usually wear white or sometimes bright colors. Evil ones wear grey or black. God wants you to know who's who; He doesn't make this complicated.) 
 

God let her see the details of his attire, business casual, and even gave her the businessman thought because He wanted to emphasize that these people will not stand out in the crowd. They will look respectable, not like hoodlums. The detail she noticed of the shade of his skin color indicates that most of these people will have recently come into the country. 


The black case, in addition to lending itself to the businessman impression, holds the weapon(s) of death, as Nicole saw in the glimpses given to her in prayer over the following three weeks. She could not see precisely what he handed to the teen because different types of weapons will be used at different churches. Your efforts to get him to stop were unsuccessful because they will not be easily stopped.


All of these Details Add Up to the Following Picture


People (represented by the teen) who have been in this country a while and have established trust within each target church will be used to actually carry out the attack. They do not currently have the weapons that will be used, so if for any reason they are searched they will appear innocent. 


They have been brainwashed from a young age, and are totally committed to “holy” jihad. In truth, jihad could not be more unholy. They are only waiting for the right time, hiding out now like spies who are called “moles.” They do not care if they die in the process, and some even hope that they will die. Most of them will be teenagers or preteens.


Others (represented by the olive-skinned “businessman”) will arrive in the country shortly before the attack, and they will deliver the smuggled weapons to the trusted ones just in time. 

It is logical to assume that in some cases there will be one pair of jihadists for each church attacked. In large and mega churches, there may be multiple moles and even multiple deliverymen. And in larger communities, one deliveryman may deliver weapons to multiple churches’ moles. Likewise, at one church they may go after only one group - the children, the nursery, the Bible study, etc. At another church they may go after the main sanctuary, as was revealed to Nicole this February. And of course they might go after any combination elsewhere.


Even the weapons used may vary widely:  any type of gun, bomb, gas, swords or knives, or things like fire and possibly even biological-warfare agents. Think outside the box. It would be foolish to assume a cookie-cutter experience and prepare for only one eventuality.



When this Will Happen


When I asked the Lord for a specific date, none was given. 


Yet, I am sure in my spirit it will be sooner rather than later this year, 2015. September 11th is an obvious possibility; terrorists seem to love celebrating anniversaries with new attacks. Another likely possibility is the day of Sh’mitah, which technically means between sundown Sunday, September 13, to sundown Monday, September 14, 2015. Possible, but how many churches are open Sunday evenings? But because we use the Gregorian calendar rather than the Hebrew calendar, maybe all day and night Sunday and Monday are viable. 


Then there’s also the prophecy given elsewhere [sorry; I don't remember the specifics] that God has given us until this fall to repent or face the rest of His judgments. Logical specific dates for that deadline I believe would include Sh’mitah ending sundown 9/14 and Yom Kippur (the Day of Atonement) ending sundown 9/24. 


I think the attack will not happen before the earliest of all these dates, September 11. 
 

What We Can Do about It


It is obvious to (1) ask the Holy Spirit what you should do and do that!, (2) warn your church leadership unless He tells you not to (which He might do, for example, if they are the moles), and (3) take common-sense precautions that do not contradict whatever the Spirit tells you to do. Screen and re-screen staff and volunteers, removing those who are suspect or, better, as directed by the Spirit; etc.


But we must also remember Ephesians 6:12, that “our fight is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places.” Put on the whole armor of God (Ephesians 6:10-20) – which means to use the armor of God:  walk in truth (neither deceiving nor being deceived), be righteous, be ready to share the gospel, have faith, know your salvation, speak & use the word of God, and pray. Every day.


Memorize and claim the promises of Scripture. Psalms 91 and verses like No weapon formed against [me] shall prosper, and every tongue that accuses [me] in judgment [I] will condemn (Isaiah 54:17a) are particularly good now, but there are thousands more. Pray these back to God. Look at it this way:  Visualize a prayer as a beam of light that cuts through the darkness (forces of evil). A prayer that prays God’s own Word back to Him is a high-beam light. And when many righteous people are gathered, each praying God’s Word, focused and in agreement with each other – that cuts like a laser beam!


While praying, quoting, and claiming Scripture is great if you are righteous before God, it may not help you if you are not in right standing with Him. Do not be one of whom the Lord says, “I never knew you.” (Read Matthew 7:21-23.) So really the Number One thing to do is fix that: Repent – that means (1) apologize to God for what you’ve done wrong in thought, word, action, or failure to act; and (2) turn from it, meaning don’t do it any more. Turn your whole heart to God. Forgive completely everyone who has hurt or offended you. Apologize to those you have wronged, and make restitution to them. Live the way God wants you to live, and pursue a relationship with Jesus. Give the rest of your life to Him. 

Evil is rising while the American church is sleeping. If God did nothing, the evil would grow enough to consume and kill all mankind. (As it was in the days of Noah... [Luke 17:26.]) So God sounded the alarm through His watchmen and prophets. God wants us to wake up, repent, and turn back to Him at the sound of the alarm, so He can save us. But if we don’t wake up and return to God at the sound of the alarm, we will wake up at the shaking, sooner or later. 


Since we didn’t wake up at the first shaking (9-11-2001), God in His love and mercy sent another alarm, followed by another shaking (2008). And since we didn’t wake up even then, God’s love and mercy and grace will lead Him to send yet one more alarm, and one more shaking (the late summer and early autumn of 2015). 


But if we haven’t awakened, repented, and returned to God by then, God’s justice will demand His righteous judgment. 


Thank God that He never does a thing without first telling His prophets (Amos 3:7). The prophets and the watchmen are sounding the alarms! Are you listening? Are you awake? Are you repenting? Have you returned to God 100%? (Even 98% holy is just lukewarm in Jesus' eyes. [See The Fire of His Holiness, 2nd Edition, by Pastor Sergio Scataglini.]) Are you sounding the alarm for others?


The Lord gives and the Lord takes away. Blessed be the Name of the Lord! (Job 1:21b)

Extended Prophecy

  1. The attack is not planned to be just against Christian churches, so others should not be complacent. The Islamic goal is to wipe out all other religions, with Jews and Christians being at the top of a very long list. If the people aren’t Muslim, then in their eyes they are infidel dogs and worthy to be killed or enslaved unless they convert. Every place of worship that is not a Muslim mosque should consider that it may be targeted.

  2. The attack is not planned to be just a single day and then stopped. But that first day they hope will be on a scale the world has not seen before. They want this to be written in the annals of infamy, even though that isn’t how they think of it.

  3. Even so, that coordinated attack on our churches, synagogues, wards, temples, and kingdom halls is just the “tip of the iceberg.” Jihadist Muslims have infiltrated more than our churches. Read between the lines. The internet is full of prophecies, curses, and warnings of how this particular jihad, jihad in America, will unfold. Many of them are correct.

  4. The Holy Spirit didn’t want me to restate those here. There is enough information released already to warn the people out of their slumber if they are listening. To go over and over it again and again, piling on more and more detail, is essentially to do satan’s “vision casting” for him, spreading fear. And the Spirit is not a spirit of fear!

So let’s instead do our vision casting for the Lord:

  1. Satan is a defeated foe. He just doesn’t believe it yet.

  2. We should expect to fight, one way or another (or multiple ways) – physical and/or spiritual – but know that the outcome is already determined.

  3. Know that the fight, to the righteous, is for their training, for their strengthening, for their refining in the Lord.

  4. Know that our God will fight for the righteous, His saints, which He has predestined to wait a little longer.

  5. Know that His angels are encamped around them to protect them, and will hold them up in the palms of their hands. (Psalm 91.)

  6. Know that many Saints will be carried Home on arms of Love, having completed their assignments on Earth. Likewise thousands [hundreds of thousands] of infants and children will be released from the bondage of this life to find their freedom in Christ.

  7. Know that no matter what evil news we hear, even though Adam turned over control of the Earth to satan, he can still only move in the direction and to the degree that God allows. He cannot exceed the limits God sets. Take joy in this.

  8. Know that as the horrors unfold, as lawlessness and darkness advance, God will pour out His Spirit in wave upon wave of overriding power for the righteous, who have the authority to use it in the Name of Jesus of Nazareth, Yeshua HaMeshiach. [See my earlier post, Wave upon Wave.]

As I ended this list and confirmed that is all to be in it, I smiled to see there are eight items. Eight, written with the symbol for infinity (on its side), is the Biblical number of new beginnings. And four (the first list), is the number of the supernatural.

Fear of the Lord - Revelation

August 15, 2015

God dropped this little gem in my lap the other day. It was the answer to a question I've often asked - just what does "fear of the Lord" really mean?

Let's start off with a definition of fear, from the glossary of William J. Morford's One New Man Bible:  Revealing Jewish Roots and Power:
 

     "Fear is the opposite of Faith. We are not to have any trace of fear, so God commands us frequently in the Hebrew text, Do not fear! More often it is Do not be in awe! In the Hebrew this is a very strong command that has no direct English translation. We are absolutely forbidden to entertain even the least speck of fear. We overcome fear by staying closer to God, worshipping, reading Scripture, making the good confession, and not dwelling on negative consequences.

     "The expression, 'spirit of fear' does not appear in Scripture, though some translations have that in 2 Timothy 1:7. There the correct translation is a 'spirit of timidity' in an exhortation to Timothy to use the spiritual gifts. We are to be bold in the things of the Lord, and bold in taking authority over evil spirits attacking us, but we are not be awed [by] or afraid of them."

So then, if we fear something, we are in awe of it. It is good to hold God in awe - He is Awesome! - but nothing else. When we awe something else, we elevate it to the level of God:  When we fear (awe) something, that demonstrates that we are lacking in trust, because we do not trust God to keep us safe from that which we fear. So really, fearing something is elevating it higher than God. This is not good! No wonder the Bible is full of the admonition, "do not fear" or, "do not awe." Here are supporting Scriptures, all NASB, emphasis added:
  • After these things the word of the LORD came to Abram in a vision, saying, 'Do not fear, Abram, I am a shield to you; Your reward shall be very great.' (Genesis 15:1)
  • The Lord appeared to him the same night and said, I am the God of your father Abraham; Do not fear, for I am with you. I will bless you, and multiply your descendants, For the sake of My servant Abraham." (Genesis 26:24)
  • But Moses said to the people, "Do not fear! Stand by and see the salvation of the LORD which He will accomplish for you today; for the Egyptians whom you have seen today, you will never see them again forever. The LORD will fight for you while you keep silent." (Exodus 14:13)
  • Only do not rebel against the LORD; and do not fear the people of the land, for they will be our prey. Their protection has been removed from them, and the LORD is with us; do not fear them. (Numbers 14:9)
(As an important side note, we might want to rethink describing anything other than God as "awesome." Good, great, fabulous - go right ahead. But awesome - that's God! While I was writing this just now, I almost put the word, "terrific" in that short list. Then I realized that the root word in terrific is terror --> terrify --> terrific - so that too, like awesome, should perhaps be limited in use to describe God alone. What do you think? I encourage you to submit comments to this or any other posting. Click on the link below the post.)

What God showed me the other day started with the revelation that the King James Version frequently uses the word "of" to mean "from," and this has been carried forward into most English translations, even though we don't generally speak that way. Here's just one example, using Ephesians 2:8-9:
  • For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast. (KJV)
  • for by grace have ye been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; not of works, that no man should glory. (ASV)
  • For ye are saved by grace, through faith; and this not of yourselves; it is God's gift: not on the principle of works, that no one might boast. (DNT)
  • For by grace you are saved through faith, and that not of yourselves, for it is the gift of God; Not of works, that no man may glory. (DR)
  • For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast. (ESV)
  • For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; not as a result of works, so that no one may boast. (NASB)
  • For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith - and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God - not by works, so that no one can boast. (NIV)
In all of these translations and many more, it is abundantly clear that one definition of of means from in these two verses. Well, guess what? It is just the same with "the fear of the Lord."  It means the fear from the Lord. So that means this kind of fear, unlike the spirit of fear or timidity, is a gift from God, just like faith. But there is more:

Many preachers teach that fear of the Lord does not mean to be afraid of Him. They say it means to hold Him in high respect, honor, reverence, and awe. This is true, but incomplete.

John Bevere teaches that fear of the Lord does not mean to be scared of Him, but to be afraid - absolutely terrified! - to be without Him. This also is true, but incomplete.

For the final clue, let's look at how the Bible illustrates the process of fearing the Lord - what we do when we properly fear Him:
  • "Now this is the commandment, the statutes and the judgments which the LORD your God has commanded me to teach you, that you might do them in the land where you are going over to possess it, so that you and your son and your grandson might fear the LORD your God, to keep all His statutes and His commandments which I command you, all the days of your life, and that your days may be prolonged. (Deuteronomy 6:1,2)
  • Therefore, you shall keep the commandments of the LORD your God, to walk in His ways and to fear Him. (Deuteronomy 8:6)
  • If you will fear the LORD and serve Him, and listen to His voice and not rebel against the command of the LORD, then both you and also the king who reigns over you will follow the LORD your God. If you will not listen to the voice of the LORD, but rebel against the command of the LORD, then the hand of the LORD will be against you, as it was against your fathers. (1 Samuel 12:14,15)
  • The Spirit of the LORD will rest on Him [Jesus], The spirit of wisdom and understanding, The spirit of counsel and strength, The spirit of knowledge and the fear of the LORD. And He will delight in the fear of the LORD, And He will not judge by what His eyes see, Nor make a decision by what His ears hear; But with righteousnes He will judge the poor, And decide with fairness for the afflicted of the earth; And He will strike the earth with the rod of His mouth, And with the breath of His lips He will slay the wicked. (Isaiah 11:2-5)
  • The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge; Fools despise wisdom and instruction. (Proverbs 1:7)
  • So the church throughout all Judea and Galilee and Samaria enjoyed peace, being built up; and going on in the fear of the Lord and in the comfort of the Holy Spirit, it continued to increase. (Acts 9:31)
  • Therefore, knowing the fear of the LORD, we persuade men, but we are made manifest to God; and I hope that we are made manifest also in your consciences. (2 Corinthians 5:11)
When we put all this together, we find:
  1.  Fearing God is holding Him in awe, honor, and reverence.
  2. The ability to do this is a gift from God, like faith.
  3. We fear God in practice by doing what He wants us to do - which is born out of loving God with our whole spirit (heart, desires), soul (mind, thoughts), and body (strength, actions).
  4. We can only even begin to be wise if fear God.
  5. When we fear God, He protects us, blesses us, and empowers us through His Presence.
  6. We are never to fear or awe anyone else. This is a commandment. When we fear someone else, we sin against God.
  7. When we sin against God, His Presence is diminished in our lives (until we bring it to Him in sorrow and repentance, whereupon He is just to forgive us). When we are terrified of losing His Presence, that helps us to fear Him; see #1 and #2.
There are many more verses illustrating how we are to fear God. I encourage you to search them out and begin putting them into practice today. God bless you!
