The Great Consummation

Renaming of “The Great Tribulation”

The word consummation can be defined as the bringing of something to a satisfying, complete, full or final conclusion.  The Merriam-Webster online dictionary defines the word consummation: to complete in every detail.

prophecy

The Great Consummation is a prophetic season or period which will take place during the biblical era (in which we currently live) known as the Latter Days. What is most commonly, though mistakenly, referred to as the Great Tribulation is actually only one piece of a two-part covenant, which plays out during the Latter Days. The book, “This Side of the Whirlwind” changes the name “The Great Tribulation” into “the Great Consummation” based on a more appropriate communication of God’s purpose for this period and prophecy. Within the fulfillment of the Great Consummation there is a two and a half year tribulation period. This is not to be confused with the seven year miscalculation attributed to the Great Tribulation. More precisely, the Great Consummation is made up of both a tribulation period and a time known as the Wrath of God. According to scripture, the actual tribulation period itself will be a time of great trouble, unlike any time of trouble in the history or future of the human race (Daniel 12:1, Matthew 24:21). The Bible frequently refers to the Wrath of God as the Day of the Lord. Continue reading →

My Soul is Crying

Years ago I wrote a song which I titled, “My Soul is Crying.” I would like to share the meaning which was then and now truly heartfelt.DSCN1247

 

Nearly thirty years ago I set this Rock-N-Roll piece to a real and soon coming future for which the singer of the song weeps.

Taking the Bullet

If gunmen placed you in the following position, “Deny Christ or be shot in the head,” what would you do, deny Christ or take the bullet?

This is a general question and not subject to the 9,000 possible variations on this theme.

And therefore, because you know yourself to a degree, where do you believe you would stand in your faith?

Is your relationship with Jesus; God; your Savior tantamount to your next breath or are you merely part of a social-club for lukewarm or pseudo-Christians?

You see, “every” Christian will soon be forced to answer this or a similar decision.

We are all living in the last of the Latter Days. The Mark of the Beast is here and each government will soon, whether it be days, months, a year or five from now, each of us will be required to decide if we will submit to this new, up and coming, technology.

You may ask, “How can I write such a statement with any credibility?”

In answer, because numerous “unadulterated” prophecies have been, HAVE BEEN, fulfilled over the past 70 years which confirm we are in the Latter Days. Five prophecies in particular can be easily found in Scripture to confirm this point. Let’s start near the beginning.

#1) Deuteronomy chapters 30 and 31:

When all these blessings and curses I have set before you come on you and you take them to heart wherever the LORD your God disperses you among the nations, 2 and when you and your children return to the LORD your God and obey him with all your heart and with all your soul according to everything I command you today, 3 then the LORD your God will restore your fortunes and have compassion on you and gather you again from all the nations where he scattered you. 4 Even if you have been banished to the most distant land under the heavens, from there the LORD your God will gather you and bring you back. 5 He will bring you to the land that belonged to your ancestors, and you will take possession of it. He will make you more prosperous and numerous than your ancestors. 6 The LORD your God will circumcise your hearts and the hearts of your descendants, so that you may love him with all your heart and with all your soul, and live. (Deuteronomy 30:1-6 NIV ~ Written circa BC 1451)

For I know that after my death ye will utterly corrupt yourselves, and turn aside from the way which I have commanded you; and evil will befall you in the latter days; because ye will do evil in the sight of the LORD, to provoke him to anger through the work of your hands. (Deuteronomy 31: 29 KJV ~ Written circa BC 1451 ~ emphasis added)

Then in Jeremiah we have three areas of text starting with #2) Jeremiah 16:14-16:

“Therefore behold, the days are coming,” says the LORD, “that it shall no more be said, ‘The LORD lives who brought up the children of Israel from the land of Egypt,’ 15 but, ‘The LORD lives who brought up the children of Israel from the land of the north and from all the lands where He had driven them.’ For I will bring them back into their land which I gave to their fathers.

16 “Behold, I will send for many fishermen,” says the LORD, “and they shall fish them; and afterward I will send for many hunters, and they shall hunt them from every mountain and every hill, and out of the holes of the rocks.

And this was and is one of the many ways God returned the Jewish people to the lands of Israel. The new Sovereign State of Israel sent representatives from the Israeli people to gather Jewish families from all over the world. They hunted and fished for each family providing each family sums of money, housing and often business opportunities for making the transition to the lands of Israel as long as the families committed to ‘make of go of it’ for a minimum of three years.

Then there is #3) Jeremiah 23:7-8 followed by verse 20. I’ve skipped verses because I do not have room to add every verse, such would balloon this post to astronomical size.  Please read the balance of the verses for your own edification.

7 “Therefore, behold, the days are coming,” says the LORD, “that they shall no longer say, ‘As the LORD lives who brought up the children of Israel from the land of Egypt,’ [This is how the world saw Israel before the Holocaust of WWII] 8 but, ‘As the LORD lives who brought up and led the descendants of the house of Israel from the north country and from all the countries where I had driven them.’ And they shall dwell in their own land.” [Following WWII Israel became known for their deliverance out of the hands of the Nazis] (NKJV ~ Emphasis added)

Then of course there is #4) Jeremiah chapter 30 which details “Jacob’s Trouble” which is simply another name for the Holocaust of WWII. The entirety of Jacob’s Trouble actually spanned a much larger period than the few years of WWII itself, for example ~ 1910-1967; however, the Holocaust of WWII was the piece-de-resistance of Jacob’s Trouble with one possible exception: the lands of Israel being returned to the Israeli people after nearly 1800 years in exile {Israel returned to the Promised Lands, with their religion intact and their original identity as the Israeli people firmly established}. Now if that is not a punctuation point for these prophecies then I don’t know what else would be?  Wow!

Another Prophecy

For behold, the days are coming,’ says the LORD, ‘that I will bring back from captivity My people Israel and Judah,’ says the LORD. ‘And I will cause them to return to the land that I gave to their fathers, and they shall possess it.’ ”

4 Now these are the words that the LORD spoke concerning Israel and Judah.

Jacob’s Trouble

5 “For thus says the LORD:‘We have heard a voice of trembling, of fear, and not of peace. 6 Ask now, and see, whether a man is ever in labor with child? So why do I see every man with his hands on his loins like a woman in labor, and all faces turned pale?

7 Alas! For that day is great, so that none is like it; and it is the time of Jacob’s trouble, but he [Israel] shall be saved out of it.

8 ‘For it shall come to pass in that day,’ Says the LORD of hosts, ‘That I will break his yoke [bondage] from your neck, and will burst your bonds; foreigners shall no more enslave them.

Here we will jump to verses 22-23

22 ‘You shall be My people, and I will be your God.’ ”

23 Behold, the whirlwind of the LORD goes forth with fury, a continuing whirlwind; it will fall violently on the head of the wicked.

24 The fierce anger of the LORD will not return until He has done it, and until He has performed the intents of His heart. In the latter days you will consider it.

And yet we have another prophecy.

There is another passage in Hosea which is descriptive of Israel’s state of being over much of the past 2,000 years and then their final restoration as a people.

For the children of Israel shall abide many days without king or prince, without sacrifice or sacred pillar, without ephod or teraphim. 5 Afterward the children of Israel shall return and seek the LORD their God and David their king. They shall fear the LORD and His goodness in the latter days. (Hosea 3:4-5 NKJV)

The fulfillment of the last two edicts from Daniel 9:24 (To seal up the vision and prophecy & To anoint the Most Holy) will take place at the end of the Great Consummation, which just so happens to coincide with the end of the Time of the Gentiles or Church Age. Pretty cool, huh?

So, “How can I write such a statement with any real credibility?”

How can you not? In a court of law we only need one or two solid witnesses to put someone away for murder; I just provided five ‘utterly’ fulfilled prophecies which confirm we, the Body of Christ, are living in “The Latter Days.”

By the way, the Latter Days can prophetically only span 80 or less years (Psalms 90:10 and the Parable of the Fig Tree). We’ll get into that one some other time.

Better start preparing for the Separation process of the Great Consummation followed by Christ’s return during the Tribulation Period FOLLOWED by the Wrath of God. It is coming!

So, if you have any comments or questions:

The Angel Declared!

Imagine the encounter the Prophet Daniel must have experienced when the angel Gabriel once again appeared in the flesh before the Prophet and declared, “Oh Daniel, I have now come to give you insight and understanding. As soon as you began to pray, a word went out, which I have come to tell you, for you are highly esteemed. Therefore, consider the word and understand the vision.” (Daniel 9:22-23 NIV)  Did Daniel truly understand?

angel

The angel then proceeded to give Daniel the Seventy Weeks of Daniel prophecy which of course informed Daniel of when the Messiah would be born, which was at the end of the 62 weeks segment of the prophecy. Today we know that specific timeframe falls somewhere during BC 3 when Jesus was born.

Know and understand that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be 7 weeks and 62 weeks. (Daniel 9:25 KJV) Continue reading →

Preliminary note:, there are numerous posts in the “True Life Series” which began chronologically one year before I was born.  The series takes the reader through the many and numerous supernatural encounters God used to train me in His ways and to appoint my life according to His purposes.  For example… the way God miraculously called me to be a Man of God literally one year before I took my first breath. Steve's 2006 Camping Trip 062

 

The “True Life Series” catalogues the volume of prophecies, visions, miracles and Words of Knowledge God used to teach me to accurately and effectively hear His voice and simply repeat His Words. The following story is just one puzzle piece in the grand plan while growing in God’s wonderful service.  To God be all the glory, praise and wonder for such is only a small piece of all that He deserves. Amen! Continue reading →

Titanic

Imagine yourself with “prophetic knowledge” standing on the bow of the Titanic just ten hours before she was going to hit the iceberg and sink to the bottom of the ocean.

titanic

Now, visualize that following moment, the point in time “after” you have warned every passenger and crew member and watched them each and every one carry on with business as usual with little to no regard for the warning they have just received. After all, you have future information.  You have already seen what is about to take place.

Fortunately, you stand on the bow of that fateful ship knowing the cruelest thing that will happen “that night” will be for those disbelieving individuals to go down with the ship, die and enter eternity thinking they should have listened. Oh well, at least they are going to be with the Lord; leastwise, hopefully.titanic-sinks

Now, here we are today! Imagine yourself with “prophetic knowledge” warning the Body of Christ to avoid the Mark of the Beast; a technology which already exists and is being sold and employed by corporations and individuals around the globe, 50,000 to 60,000 strong already – just today.

Picture a friend, family member or associate from work whom you know to be a Christian who has looked into the new implants and has decided the implants are much too cool and useful to be ignored, they must have one for Christmas regardless of your warning.

Think about it… everyone will be purchasing these useful devices soon enough because they are just technology, what could be wrong with having this new tech? “You must be wrong,” they will say.  Just like the Cell-Phones of yesteryear everyone will what the new tech. images[1]

After all, don’t you wonder how many people will “just this year” be purchasing the new tech for their children, friends, family, parents (and the list goes on) because the new Bio-implants are the up and coming tech of tomorrow.

Furthermore, the only reason NOT to purchase the implants, for there will be many different types, will be because Christians are saying they are the Mark of the Beast. How can they know the new tech is The Mark?

You see, the Mark of the Beast must be implemented before the Great Consummation can begin. This planet has over seven billion people and that number of individuals requires a spot of time to implant every member of society.

You see, when the Great Consummation begins, the Beast will have just recently placed the “Image of the Beast” in the Temple in Jerusalem. Only then will the Body of Christ know the Beast for who he is. Shortly thereafter, that moment will come when the world enters the Great Consummation and salvation will no longer be available to anyone not currently saved[1].

az-desert

Now you and I must stand on the edge of the world and watch everyone who has The Mark of the Beast or The Mark implanted in their flesh die in their sin “previously saved or not” and receive the full measure of God’s Wrath (Revelation 14:9-11).

 

The loss is so much worse than just their lives. There is no coming back from this one.

So… think about letting everyone you know “know”!

The Mark will be a technology which goes “on or in” your flesh. The technology must carry your personal identification information and be financially related (Revelation 13:13).  It could also provide medical and historical information as well as GPS tracking capabilities.bible

Hey-there saints… spread the Word!

 

 

 

[1] When the Great Consummation begins the Restrainer will leave the earth; at that moment, salvation will no longer be available to the unsaved. Salvation can only be obtain through the power of Jesus and He will have left the earth.

Hey everybody thanks for once again tuning in.

It wasn’t long ago I prayed and asked the Lord to give me a song to compliment my book.

trumpet

Not me, it’s Louie!

Sure enough, a few months later I received a melody and the first verse to the song I now call, “This Side of the Whirlwind.” The song has a bit of a calypso style to it which is not one of my common singing or writing styles, but I like it okay.

Anyways… Today while doing a few things in the kitchen I randomly started singing the song, just casually to myself; when I came to the second verse the visions the Lord gave me during the writing of the book sprang to mind. I was deeply saddened. The verse says:
