Recent Dreams and Visions: Comet falls to the Earth and Nuclear Armageddon

Recent Dreams and Visions: Comet falls to the Earth and Nuclear Armageddon

Rev 8: 7 The first angel sounded: And hail and fire followed, mingled with blood, and they were thrown to the earth. And a third of the trees were burned up, and all green grass was burned up. 8 Then the second angel sounded: And something like a great mountain burning with fire was thrown into the sea, and a third of the sea became blood. 9 And a third of the living creatures in the sea died, and a third of the ships were destroyed. 10 Then the third angel sounded: And a great star fell from heaven, burning like a torch, and it fell on a third of the rivers and on the springs of water. 11 The name of the star is Wormwood. A third of the waters became wormwood, and many men died from the water, because it was made bitter.

In a recent dream, I saw a large comet with a fiery tail fall to the earth, as well as fiery meteors falling upon cities. Buildings as far as the eye could see were burning rubble, and the trees were burning. People were running in the streets in a state of panic. The waters had become bitter and there was no shelter. I took refuge in the house of the Lord for protection. I was in a house, not a church building.

 Many churches are in state of apostasy (fallen away from Christ) because of the distorted grace message that they preach. The Lord is removing his Spirit from many churches (Ichabod) because they are not teaching the sheep to get sin out of their lives and to pursue righteousness. The only hope for protection during the coming tribulation is obedience to the Lord Jesus Christ. If you are truly set apart from the world (born again), the Lord is willing to protect you in His wilderness sanctuaries (Rev 12). We must all seek the Lord, with fasting and prayer as to where to ride out the storm.

Today, I was awakened from a deep sleep by a loud voice that said, “Nuclear.” I saw the transparent face of an angel as she turned her face toward me. The angels who instruct me are male or female in appearance. The Lord has given me many dreams, visions, as well as words, about the coming nuclear holocaust. Today, the Lord was telling me that many more visions are to come. The Russian anti-christ, and his ally China, will destroy America in the near future.

In another dream, I was standing in line with hundreds of people to register for a new form of national census. I understood that anyone who did not register their family would be prosecuted. I waited in line for many hours before my turn came. Next, I witnessed a congressman standing in front of a stone monument of an eagle. He was urging the government to take ownership of all businesses and lands. The American people were very upset that a communist form of government was replacing capitalism. I also understood that the American eagle had great influence worldwide. I witnessed a revolution within America and saw the White House destroyed by a bomb. I also heard a voice say, “Aviation stopped by order of congress.” I believe that these events will unfold shortly and will set the stage for the Great Tribulation.      

Christmas Messages from both of us

Christmas Messages from both of us

Who do you say that He is? Written by Mel

Who was this babe born over two thousand years ago in Bethlehem of Judea? Many claim that he was a prophet, a great teacher, or just a good man. However, who do you say that He is?

Christ said that before Abraham was, I AM. Christ declared himself to be the Great I AM (Yahweh), by making this statement.

Then the Jews said to Him, “You are not yet fifty years old, and have You seen Abraham?” Jesus said to them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I AM.”  John 8:57-58    

The prophet Isaiah wrote that the future Messiah would be called, the Mighty God and Everlasting Father!

For unto us a Child is born, Unto us a Son is given; And the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Of the increase of His government and peace There will be no end, Upon the throne of David and over His kingdom, To order it and establish it with judgment and justice From that time forward, even forever. The zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this.  Isaiah 9:6-7

 “Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and bear a Son, and they shall call His name Immanuel,” which is translated, “God with us.”  Matthew 1:23

John chapter one, as well as Colossians one, reveal that Christ is indeed God, the creator of all things visible and invisible. He is the image of the invisible God. All things were created through him and for him.

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made. In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it. He was in the world, and the world was made through Him, and the world did not know Him. He came to His own, and His own did not receive Him. But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name: who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.  John 1:1-5 & 10-14

He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him. And He is before all things, and in Him all things consist. And He is the head of the body, the church, who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in all things He may have the preeminence.  Colossians 1:15-18 

Let us remember that Christmas is not about the mythical Santa Claus or reindeer. Jesus is the reason for the season. God left his throne in glory and became a man and humbled himself to the death on the cross, to provide redemption for fallen mankind. God Bless!

 

 

Christmas is a beautiful time of the year! (Written by Julie)

Christmas is a beautiful time of the year as we remember that Jesus left a world more perfect than we can ever imagine to live in a dusty, primitive, violent world.  While you sing the worshipful songs and hear the story of Jesus’ miraculous birth to a virgin (1), please remember the story does not stop there.

Jesus was born for the sole purpose of giving up His life thirty-three years later.  Jesus gave up His throne surrounded by angels (2) for a life where His authority was rarely recognized.  He came to this cruel and heartless world in the form of pure innocence and humility (3).  He knew He would never fully be accepted by His peers (4), and that even those who claimed to love Him would desert Him in the end (5).  He knew not just the emotional sorrows He would face, but the physical as well.  He would willingly endure excruciating torture (6).  (The word excruciating exists because of the severe pain suffered during crucifixion.)  Yes, He also knew He would be raised from the dead three days after His death (7), but He did not endure long hours of agony just to glorify  Himself.  He allowed Himself to be beaten raw and pierced through to die a slow death just for you and me! (8)  His blood on the cross is the only reason you and I have the option of spending eternity with Him in paradise.  (9) He paid for our sins by hanging in humiliation on a cross with wood splinters buried into an already raw and bloodied back, a crown of literal thorns causing blood to burn his eyes as it dripped down His face.  (10)

It is His glorious face we must seek today! (11) Do not throw away His precious gift bought with a terror we could never endure.  Repent of your sins and strive to live a life of holiness so that you can someday see the beautiful face of Jesus and His Father who allowed His son to be ripped from His side for more than three decades.  (12)

This Christmas, when you see the nativity sets of the shepherds and wise men kneeling at the manager of the baby Jesus, think of how much more magnificent it will be to bow at the throne of the living God! (13) When you sing, “O, come let us adore Him,” take a moment and thank Him with all your heart for choosing the path of pain and sorrow just so we can have an eternal life of peace and joy! (14)

Julie’s Christmas Carol

Have yourself a merry little Christmas,

Even when your heart is broken,

When grief has pierced your soul,

With pain so deep it cannot be spoken.

 Remember the little town of Bethlehem

And the stable that held pure Light,

The Christ child that came to heal our wounds,

Even on the darkest night.

Away in a manger

Is not just about a baby in the hay;

Jesus is alive forever,

And washes sorrow away.

Do you see what I see?

When all is lost and day is night,

It is yours to discover,

Miracles still happen when you seek His Light!

Visions of the Revolution, the new America, and the coming Russian Anti-christ.

Visions of the Revolution, the new America, and the coming Russian Anti-christ.

The Lord has shown me that the sun is going down upon this age of mankind. In biblical times, 6:00 to 7:00 p.m. was known as the twelfth hour. I recently had a vision of a clock that read 6:01; this indicates the late hour in which we live. I have had many dreams and visions of disasters breaking out at sunset. The Lord has shown me a large black storm, which will immerse this world in tribulation. The labor pains of the world to come are here now. Christ said that immediately after the tribulation of those days, he would send out his angels to gather the elect from the ends of the earth. God’s Word teaches that the kingdom of God will replace the kingdoms of man, and Eden (paradise) will be restored. God will wipe away every tear, and sickness and death will be no more. This is the hope that we have, if we make Jesus Christ our Lord, as well as, endure until the end.

 In a recent vision, I saw hundreds of law enforcement vehicles with flashing strobe lights descend from a high mountain to the earth. I understood that the angels of God were coming to execute God’s judgment and to arrest the evildoers of the earth. In another experience, an angel of the Lord said to me, “The chambers of heaven will open and an announcement will be made.” I understood that the gospel of salvation must be proclaimed unto the last day. However, those who refuse to make Christ their Lord will suffer the judgments being poured out from the chambers of heaven.    

Worldwide turbulence will continue to increase until the Lord returns. Tornadoes, hurricanes, earthquakes, famines, droughts, wars, disease, as well as apostate religion, will become worse. The Lord gave me a dream of a large black tornado that would do significant damage to the east of Kansas City, Missouri. Three months after receiving this dream, in March 2017, an EF3 tornado struck some small towns east of Kansas City and caused record-breaking damage. The Lord has also shown me, that in the near future Southern California will experience a major earthquake produced by the San Andreas Fault. This quake will cause wide spread damage and death. The Father alone knows the timing of this quake. These types of disasters are a wake-up call to repentance to a people who have gone astray. God does not desire that any perish, but that all come to everlasting life, but it sometimes takes disaster to wake us up out of our complacency.

Around two years ago, the Lord gave me a dream that Islamic terrorist groups will shortly begin to carry out attacks here in America, and some of the attacks will eclipse 911. The Lord specifically named the Islamic State terrorist group, but he also made it clear that they would not be working alone. God’s hand of protection is being removed from America, because America has removed God from their lives. God is also not pleased with the brutal war campaign that America, as well her allies, waged against Iraq and Afghanistan. This war was unjustified in the eyes of God and judgment will be the result.

 Another reason for the soon coming judgment is the legalization of gay marriage. The Lord told me over four years ago that the Supreme Court would make gay marriage the law of the land and that judgment would soon follow. This country has become worse than Sodom and Gomorrah, how can we expect God’s blessing or favor? I recently dreamed that I was standing with a large group of people and two homosexual couples were trading partners. The people of America applauded them for being brave. I began to prophesy at the top of my voice, “Woe to you United States of Sodom and Gomorrah, you will be utterly destroyed during the Great Tribulation.” I continued, “Woe to you Babylon, for your wickedness and sins has reached Heaven.” The people all around me urged me to keep silent, but I continued to prophesy loudly. The wickedness of our perverse culture will bring total destruction to this land, as well as most of the world.

The Lord also, gave me several dreams about the coming economic collapse. I saw cities that were all dried up. The streets were dry dust, and there was a large black dust storm on the horizon that was about to blow across this land. The coming economic collapse will cause a famine. I saw people coming to a church to beg for food, as well as seek shelter. The Lord provided for those who earnestly sought after Him. When the economy crashes, many people will commit suicide, and there will be panic in the streets. All of this was shown me by the Lord.

I also, dreamed that I was standing in line with hundreds of people to register for a new form of national census. I understood that anyone who did not register their family would be prosecuted. I waited in line for many hours before my turn came. Next, I witnessed a congressman standing in front of a stone monument of an eagle. He was urging the government to take ownership of all businesses and lands. The American people were very upset that a communist form of government was replacing capitalism. I also understood that the American eagle had great influence worldwide. I witnessed a revolution within America and saw the White House destroyed by a bomb. I believe that these events will unfold shortly and will set the stage for the Great Tribulation.  

 The Lord has given me many dreams, visions, as well as audible words about the coming war with Russia and China. America will soon be forced to turn the torch of world leadership over to the Russian anti-christ. There will be both Russian and Chinese troops on American soil. Ultimately, the Russian anti-christ will hand America over to China for occupation. The prophet Jeremiah warned Juda, that God was going to hand them over to Babylon, because of their idolatry and evil ways. Jeremiah was seventeen years old when he began prophesying to Juda, however his prophecies were not fulfilled until he was an old man. Babylon carried Juda away into captivity for seventy years. Like Juda of old, America has gone after strange gods, and perverted ways. However, God will protect many of his children in remote wilderness areas during the Great Tribulation (Rev 12). Those who heed God’s warnings will survive the coming apocalypse. Like Noah, they will prepare their arks of safety according to the direction of God’s Spirit.

 In a dream, I was speaking with an American soldier; he told me that Switzerland, would be totally blacked out. I asked him how this would occur. He said that bombs would take out Switzerland’s power grid. I also asked him if ISIS would be responsible; he said he didn’t know. Then I noticed that the soldier had black camo paint on his face, and he was totally dressed in black. I was then telling him about events that would lead up to world war three. I don’t know when this will occur, but this dream may indicate, that this event will trigger a major military response, that will be a precursor to WW3. Since the American soldier was dressed in black, this may also indicate a false flag, black ops event.

In another dream, I saw Russian troops on our soil searching for American soldiers. The Russian troops were burning fields that American soldiers were hiding in. I understood that there was no place to hide, and American troops were being arrested, and placed in POW camps. In another dream, I saw entire American families being put into gas chambers, and executed by the Russians. I have had similar dreams about the Chinese troops. Eventually this war will become nuclear, and the result will be that the ozone layer is destroyed, and the sun will scorch men. 

I believe that we have only a short time to prepare for this dark storm to come. Those who know God’s voice need to seek the Lord, concerning where to relocate to ride out the storm. After President Trump’s time in office is over, the ant-christ will assume the throne of the world. The four horsemen of the apocalypse are about to be released. Contrary to what many are teaching, God WILL NOT protect you where you are. You need to go remote and team up with other likeminded Christians.

 Joel 2:30 “And I will show wonders in the heavens and in the earth: Blood and fire and pillars of smoke. 31 The sun shall be turned into darkness, And the moon into blood, Before the coming of the great and awesome day of the Lord.

 Rev 16:8 Then the fourth angel poured out his bowl on the sun, and power was given to him to scorch men with fire. 9 And men were scorched with great heat, and they blasphemed the name of God who has power over these plagues; and they did not repent and give Him glory.

Isaiah chapter 24 is in reference to the Great Tribulation. The Lord spoke through the prophet Isaiah that he will make the earth empty and a waste. The Lord said that the earth is defiled by its inhabitants because they have transgressed the laws, changed the ordinance, as well as broken the everlasting covenant. The Lord continues, that a curse has devoured the earth and the inhabitants of the earth are burned, and few men are left. The destruction of the earth by fire is a reference to the coming nuclear holocaust. (Joel 2:30) mentions pillars of smoke, I believe that this also is a reference to nuclear warfare. The wicked will be gathered together for destruction and the saints will inherit the earth. The plagues of Egypt (world) will not harm those who have the blood of Christ covering them. As long as we obey Christ, and flee to his sanctuary, we will survive. However, some are appointed to be martyred. Whether we live or die, if we are obedient to Christ, we will receive a crown of everlasting life.

 God’s judgments are righteous, because a man reaps what he sows. If you live your life in sin, you will reap destruction. God is faithful to those who remain faithful to him. Revelation chapter two and three are clear, that our works must be perfect before God. Those who are set apart (sanctified) from the sinful world, will be saved. Isaiah also states, that the foundations of the earth are shaken, and the earth is violently broken and split open. Isaiah continues that the earth shall reel to and fro like a drunkard, And shall totter like a hut; Its transgression shall be heavy upon it, And it will fall, and not rise again. The coming tribulation will be a fearful time, but we must remember that God is able to preserve us through it. This earth will be thoroughly purged of evil at the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ. Those who overcome shall rule and reign with Christ for a thousand years.

 (Isaiah 24:21) It shall come to pass in that day That the Lord will punish on high the host of exalted ones, And on the earth the kings of the earth. 22 They will be gathered together, As prisoners are gathered in the pit, And will be shut up in the prison; After many days they will be punished. Some Christians believe that hell is the grave, they are very mistaken. There are many references to the pit, abyss, or hell as being a prison for souls. Verses 21 and 22 make it clear that both the wicked host of heaven, as well as the wicked on earth, will be cast into prison, to await their future punishment. Hell is much worse than the judgments of the tribulation. That is why we need to accept Christ’s atonement made for us upon the cross, by making him Lord of our lives. If we repent of our sins and are truly born again, we have redemption through the blood of Christ.

Most people today have little regard for God, or his statutes. They have transgressed the law and changed the ordinance (Isaiah24:5). People don’t want moral restraints, so they choose to believe whatever makes them feel good. The world prefers to believe that all things are gray, rather than black and white. Even the churches are offering up greasy grace to their flocks, in place of the truth of God’s Word. If the churches would return to preaching holiness once again, they would see true revival. It is Satan’s desire to pervert the truth, as well as destroy the family. Our culture has desensitized many people to morality.

 The roles of men and women have changed drastically in the last fifty years. Today women serve in combat roles within the military, and sleep in the same quarters as men, when on the battlefield. In a time of war, both men and women may be drafted into military service. God gave women the role of nurturers and homemakers, not warriors. Only in modern times has the roles of men and women been blurred. Today men are urged to let their feminine side show. Many men are now in occupations that used to be exclusively women. There are now gender-neutral restrooms being installed in high schools in California. These restrooms are multi stalled, for both girls, and boys, to use together. It is now lawful for any man who claims to be transgender to use a women’s restroom, or locker room. Many straight men have been caught doing lewd acts in women’s restrooms and locker rooms, across the country. Young girls have also been attacked in restrooms. Gay marriage is now the law of the land, and government officials may be prosecuted, for refusing to hand out marriage licenses to same gender couples.

 Our perverted society is an abomination to a holy God. This nation was once a Christian nation, as well as a light to the entire world, but it is now worse than Sodom and Gomorrah. If God did not judge this nation, then he would need to apologize to Sodom and Gomorrah. This nation is without excuse, there are churches on every street corner, as well as Bibles in most homes. God does not expect his children to obey immoral laws, God’s laws, trump man’s laws. It is time for God’s children to take a stand against this wicked society and say, “enough is enough.”

 God is still the Ancient of Days, and he does not conform to our so-called progressive society or theology. God expects us to conform to his standards, by being obedient to His Word. The Lord has commanded me, to tell His children that they must put off the sinful old nature and return to him through holiness. The Lord has also instructed me to inform his children that the glory is departing from the churches. The modern day Scribes and Pharisees are doing the work of Satan by twisting scriptures to please men.  

(Hebrews 3:7-15), We are admonished not to harden our hearts, as the Israelites did during the rebellion in the wilderness. In verse 12, we are told to beware, lest any of us have an evil heart of unbelief in departing from the living God. We are also told, to exhort one another daily, while it is called today, lest anyone be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin. Verse 14 states, For we have become partakers of Christ if we hold the beginning of our confidence steadfast to the end. Salvation requires much more than just faith in Christ. It requires, allowing God’s Holy Spirit to purify us, so that we can bear good fruit unto the Lord. We are truly saved, if we hold our confidence in Christ, steadfast to the end. He who has an ear, let him hear, what the Spirit says to the churches.       

Scripture reference for this chapter, (Isaiah 24:1) Behold, the Lord makes the earth empty and makes it waste, Distorts its surface And scatters abroad its inhabitants. 2 And it shall be: As with the people, so with the priest; As with the servant, so with his master; As with the maid, so with her mistress; As with the buyer, so with the seller; As with the lender, so with the borrower; As with the creditor, so with the debtor. 3 The land shall be entirely emptied and utterly plundered, For the Lord has spoken this word. 4 The earth mourns and fades away, The world languishes and fades away; The haughty people of the earth languish. 5 The earth is also defiled under its inhabitants, Because they have transgressed the laws, Changed the ordinance, Broken the everlasting covenant. 6 Therefore the curse has devoured the earth, And those who dwell in it are desolate. Therefore the inhabitants of the earth are burned, And few men are left. 7 The new wine fails, the vine languishes, All the merry-hearted sigh. 8 The mirth of the tambourine ceases, The noise of the jubilant ends, The joy of the harp ceases. 9 They shall not drink wine with a song; Strong drink is bitter to those who drink it. 10 The city of confusion is broken down; Every house is shut up, so that none may go in. 11 There is a cry for wine in the streets, All joy is darkened, The mirth of the land is gone. 12 In the city desolation is left, And the gate is stricken with destruction.

13 When it shall be thus in the midst of the land among the people, It shall be like the shaking of an olive tree, Like the gleaning of grapes when the vintage is done. 14 They shall lift up their voice, they shall sing; For the majesty of the Lord They shall cry aloud from the sea. 15 Therefore glorify the Lord in the dawning light, The name of the Lord God of Israel in the coastlands of the sea. 16 From the ends of the earth we have heard songs: "Glory to the righteous!" But I said, "I am ruined, ruined! Woe to me! The treacherous dealers have dealt treacherously, Indeed, the treacherous dealers have dealt very treacherously." /17 Fear and the pit and the snare Are upon you, O inhabitant of the earth. 18 And it shall be That he who flees from the noise of the fear Shall fall into the pit, And he who comes up from the midst of the pit Shall be caught in the snare; For the windows from on high are open, And the foundations of the earth are shaken. 19 The earth is violently broken, The earth is split open, The earth is shaken exceedingly. 20 The earth shall reel to and fro like a drunkard, And shall totter like a hut; Its transgression shall be heavy upon it, And it will fall, and not rise again.

21 It shall come to pass in that day That the Lord will punish on high the host of exalted ones, And on the earth the kings of the earth. 22 They will be gathered together, As prisoners are gathered in the pit, And will be shut up in the prison; After many days they will be punished. 23 Then the moon will be disgraced And the sun ashamed; For the Lord of hosts will reign On Mount Zion and in Jerusalem And before His elders, gloriously.
