The Dreadful Day of the Lord!

This Side of the Whirlwind elucidates the two events known as the great and dreadful Day of the Lord.

The Great Day of the Lord has already taken place. It was fulfilled during the ministry of Jesus Christ. The Dreadful Day of the Lord however has yet to take place though when it does it will likely be called the Great Consummation.

The Dreadful Day of the Lord has yet to be set in motion, but will soon begin before we know it. According to scripture, a unique messenger will announce the coming of the Lord before both the Great and Dreadful Days of the Lord, his name is Elijah.

The New Heaven and New Earth

 

To Adam he said, “Because you listened to your wife and ate fruit from the tree about which I commanded you, ‘You must not eat from it,’ Cursed is the ground because of you; through painful toil you will eat food from it all the days of your life. It will produce thorns and thistles for you, and you will eat the plants of the field. By the sweat of your brow you will eat your food until you return to the ground, since from it you were taken; for dust you are and to dust you will return.” (Genesis 3:17–19 KJV)

 

The dirt of the earth has been cursed because of the actions of Adam. For this reason, when the Millennium is over the earth and all its contents will be consumed by fire in order to purge man’s curse from the planet (Revelation 22:3). Once the curse has been removed from the earth, God the Father will cause a new heaven and earth to replace the old heaven and earth. The new heaven and earth will not possess curses. Rather, God’s blessing and goodness will flow throughout the new world and we will be utterly blessed.

You who are now come unto Mount Sion, and to the City of the Living God, to Heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels in joyful assembly and to the General Assembly of the Church of the Firstborn, whose names are written in heaven and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect, and to Jesus the mediator of the New Covenant, and to His Blood of Sprinkling, that speaks of better things [more flawlessly] than the blood of Abel, See that you refuse not Him that speaks. For if they escaped not who refused him who spoke on earth, how much more shall we not escape if we turn away from Him that speaks from Heaven, whose voice then shook the earth: but now He promises, saying, “Yet once more I shake not the earth only, but also heaven?” (Hebrews 12:22–26 NKJV emphasis added)

Woeful Prophecies: This Side of the Whirlwind

Woeful Prophecies

Hearing from the Lord is one of the most wonderful experiences a person can ever know.

Occasionally there is an awe inspiring overwhelming glory which accompanies the Lord’s presence filled with wonder and joy.

On other occasions however there comes a deep sense of sorrow or foreboding which is all encompassing as you hear the Lord’s message.

When I love hearing the Lord’s voice the most, is when I’m either worshipping in music which the Lord has given me or receiving a new song with concepts and insights filling my heart and mind as the song’s meaning and purpose is brought to the forefront of my mind.

Then – once in a while — when the presence of the Lord is so powerful it feels like my head simply fills up with the Voice of the Lord. These experiences are overflowing and all-consuming causing my scalp to tingle all over and my head to feel as thought it might just explode with His presence.

I’ve actually cried out, “Lord, stop!  I can’t take it, stop, Lord!”

Note: only those who have never felt this overwhelming presence of the Lord can deign to say there is no God.

The Light of Jesus? This Side of the Whirlwind

The Light of Jesus:

One evening in Sierra Vista, Arizona, 1985, Pastors Larry and Hermina Deason invited Bob and Amy Bates and Pam and I over to their trailer home for dinner. It was a nice evening with a surprise attached.

Following Hermina’s great dinner we all retired to their front room for a little conversation and music.  Pam and I were often asked to bring our guitars and tambourines whenever we socialized.

Near the close of the evening, just before making ready to head home, someone suggested a little prayer for closing a wonderful evening.  Wonderfully, such was not God’s plan.

Shortly after we started praying, I began to notice a warm, friendly, almost yellowish/golden light starting to form before my closed eyes. The light gradually became brighter and increased in its brightness and warmth until I thought someone was playing around, being silly and holding a lamp right up to and in front of my face.

Here’s a little update regarding the Temple Mount and Israel’s give and take on the subject.

1. August 29^th 2017 Jewish MKs (120 Knesset members) temporarily or possibly permanently returning to Temple Mount“Following discussions with Attorney General Avichai Mandelblit, the prime minister decided in early July that the ban on MKs going to the Temple Mount would be lifted for a period of seven days to assess any fallout from the move — though on Tuesday, the trial period seemed to have been reduced to a single day.”“The site, Judaism’s most holy as the site of the biblical Temples, remains otherwise off-limits to government ministers. The government and police have said they will assess allowing lawmakers to visit the site on a regular basis in the future.”

Starve Him Out! This Side of the Whirlwind

Starve Him Out!

 

Many years ago God sent my wife Pam and I to a small church in Sierra Vista, Arizona. The Church was called Shiloh and was pastored by Larry Deason.

I specify this name and church simply because there existed two churches named Shiloh in Sierra Vista at that time.

P. Larry baptizing my lil Girl

At any rate…

Pam and I had been going to Shiloh for nearly a year when my dear friend John “P” came up and said he had a word from the Lord for me.

John turned in his Bible and reads Numbers 33:55.

But if ye will not drive out the inhabitants of the land from before you; then it shall come to pass, that those which ye let remain of them shall be pricks in your eyes, and thorns in your sides, and shall vex you in the land wherein ye dwell (Numbers 33:55 KJV).

Have You Seen the Mountaintop?

Waiting on the Mountain?

Have you ever wondered about those (misguided?) Christians groups who sold everything and moved up on some mountaintop to wait on the Lord’s return?

Were they just NUTS?

Or were they simply obeying what they believed to be the voice of their Lord?

 

Better yet, could it have genuinely been the voice of the Lord telling them to go up on that mountain for a reason other than Christ’s return even if Christ’s return was the reason they were told to go?

Thanks! 🙂

Before we begin I’d like to thank all my readers for their continued patronage. I did not make God’s rules, I simple report on insights provided by revelation. Neither I nor my post are infallible and should therefore be scrutinized appropriately. Second Timothy 2:15 says, “Study to show thyself approved unto God…” So, please leave comments or criticisms should you find discrepancies – theologically speaking anywhere within my posts.

Thank you!

New Wine?: True-Life 31

What is New Wine?

Paraphrased version of Luke 5:37:

No one pours “new wine” into old wineskins (you know the wine-bottles of yesteryear). Because when they do, the “new wine” will burst the wineskins; the wine will spill out and the wineskins will be ruined.

Guess what, you are the wineskin.

The “New Wine” is the Word of God formed, prepared and fermented for this – today’s – generation. The New Wine applies to “that” movement of God which is being developed during your lifetime and this new “Work” the Lord is doing to fulfill His purposes for this new “Season, Stage or Generation” of God’s program for humanity.
