The Church sleeps! Even evangelists slumber! ‘Elijah’ is here, doing his work, and they are blind to what is taking place! What an irony! The Church is meant to be a bastion of truth, protecting it, jealously guarding the faith once delivered to the saints and earnestly contending for it (Jude 3), but she isn’t. Instead, we see evangelists doing their own thing for ratings, or to muster up support (mainly of the fiscal kind), so they can preach to ever larger audiences!
But God never said He wants to convert the whole world now. And as they reach the masses, and bring the ‘lost’ into compromised churches where false ministers rule, have these ‘men of God’ never stopped to think of all the warnings of Jesus against deception, falsity, wolves, charlatans and hypocrisy?!
They are just farming out these poor, gullible sheep to tyrants used by the devil. Most ministers don’t care for truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. They care for their salary first, their prestige second (or maybe the other way around), the stability of their enterprises third, and lastly for some truth that will maintain that selfish agenda – some truth, not all.
And in these far from ideal systems called ‘churches’ (a misnomer, because Jesus’ Church is not the structure or the building, but the individuals who have the Spirit and who are led by the Spirit, not by men), you will see most ministers behaving like despots (albeit with clever subtlety – and justifying it by misquoting the Bible to support their hierarchic stand), and the sheep instinctively following them and what they say, not as the Bereans did, by checking everything (Acts 17:11).
It’s as if they are mesmerised. And most of them are. They can’t see how they have been duped. But what will they do in the end? Human behaviour hasn’t changed since Jeremiah warned:
The prophets prophesy falsely and the priests rule by their own power [authority]; and My people love to have it so. But what will you do in the end? (Jer 5:31.) The end of it all is a massive slaughter! (See the revelation from God about this in Preparing A Flock For Slaughter.) The Great Tribulation is SOON coming. It is the time that will test all who dwell on the earth (Rev 3:10; Matt 24:21,22).
The Majority Swerve
Prophets were prophesying falsely and priests were officiating out of selfish motive in Elijah’s time. Under corrupt and heinously blasphemous civil leadership, the nation was following false concepts and idolatrous error to its own destruction.
God raised up a true prophet to challenge the wicked, wayward system all the way to the king.
Elijah was not like the mega-evangelists of our day, relying upon popularity and human acclaim to achieve his mission. He wouldn’t have sent out flyers with bits of human commendation to try and raise interest and funds. His commendation was from God and the evidence of that was in the miraculous testimony that accompanied his uncompromising message calling for repentance and reform.
‘Elijah’ in our day is no different. The message is not palatable. It is opposed by all the popular prophets and evangelists. But its verification is from God. It’s not what the majority (of Christians) want.
You may not liken the Christians of our time – especially the charismatic, avant-garde, zealous-for-true-worship Christians – to the Baal-worshipping idolaters who lined up for the big display on Mount Carmel (1 Kings 18:20-40). But there are some unmistakable similarities in style and deception.
When you accept false doctrine, you accept the demon that promoted it. And you worship demons thereby – which Paul vehemently denounced:
You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons; you cannot partake of the Lord’s table and of the table of demons (1 Cor 10:21).
But most Christians do. They go along with church traditions that are nothing more than pagan rites from antiquity that were practised to worship gods of sexual fertility. It is spiritual prostitution!
"Prostitution!?" you may object in horror. "How dare you call Christian worship today, prostitution!"
I’m only repeating what Jesus said:
...I have a few things against you, because you allow that woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess, to teach and seduce My servants to commit sexual immorality and eat things sacrificed to idols (Rev 2:20). Why would Jesus take the name of king Ahab’s evil wife, Jezebel, and apply it to some in His Church? And why would He use it in the context of prophesying – "who calls herself a prophetess"? If you knew how much of the ‘prophetic’ received by the charismatic church was from the devil, you would understand why.
There are false prophets and church leaders – many of them, leading God’s people astray. They speak evil of the true prophets who have little acclaim. They also oppose the true message of Elijah today.
I do not want you to have fellowship with demons... (1 Cor 10:20). ...do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? (10:22). You’d better believe it, that the Lord is VERY ANGRY at the way His truth is compromised! We see churches keeping Easter, oblivious to how they are insulting Him by using pagan hand-me-downs given to them by Church custom going all the way back to Catholic corrupters in the fourth and fifth centuries, NOT to the first century Church! The apostles didn’t keep Easter or Christmas. They observed Passover, Pentecost and all the festivals of God which Yahweh (Christ) gave to Israel for their entry to the Promised Land. (This is proved from Acts in our paper The Early Church Kept Israel’s Commanded Assemblies.)
Easter is derived from Ishtar or Asherah. We read of the prominence of priests of Asherah in 1 Kings 18:19, where Elijah asked Ahab to summon all 400 of them to be challenged on Carmel.
The "prophets of Asherah" were priests of Asherah, the female consort of Baal (cf Jud 2:11-13, note). They were maintained at the queen’s [Jezebel’s] expense, as the servants of her own Syrian goddess [paid hirelings]. (Footnote on 1 Ki 18:19, NKJV Believer’s Study Bible.)
[My comments added in square brackets.]
The Israelites were constantly prone to pay homage to other deities, even though the Law expressly forbade it. After the settlement in Canaan, there were strong temptations to conform to the local fertility cults [just as there are strong temptations for Christians to conform to the prevalent custom today], in which Baal played a leading role. King Ahab and Queen Jezebel of the northern kingdom did evil in the sight of God more than all before them (16:30) because they made Baal worship official in Israel (16:31). [Just as the institutional- ised Church of today has sinned greatly in making Sunday worship official, together with the pagan derivatives of Easter, Christmas and other unbiblical customs which it has inherited from previous generations.] Jezebel was not content with Baal worship as merely coexisting with the worship of Yahweh; she wanted to supplant Yahweh worship with that of the Baal cult. [What the Catholic Church has done.] This involved an outright substitution – a pagan god for the true God. [The pope calls himself the Vicar of Christ, which means "in place of Christ". Less obvious substitutions, but equally damaging and blasphemous, can be seen throughout the Universal Church in church authority, practice and teaching.] Elijah solemnly protested the practice of idolatry and pagan worship in Israel. He proclaimed that Yahweh was still to be the God of Israel, and vindicated his claim by means of several dramatic events recorded in the book of 1 Kings. (Footnote on 1 Ki 18:25, NKJV Believer’s Study Bible.)
Likewise, so does Elijah today. You can read of the many amazing miracles God performs to vindicate those whom He is using to preserve and promote His truths. (In our regular Newsletters we print the accounts of miracles and wonders God performs.)
The Canaanites were addicted to Baal worship, which was conducted by priests in temples and outdoors, in fields and on hilltops called "high places". Cult activities included animal sacrifice, ritualistic meals, and [sexually] provocative dances. Near the altars the Canaanites placed symbols of fertility: the sacred pillar (massebah, Heb) and a wooden cult object (‘asherah, Heb). High places housed chambers where male prostitutes and harlots (qedeshim and qedeshot, Heb) practiced cult prostitution (cf 1 Kin 14:23; 2 Kin 23:7). God had previously judged Israel for her association with Baal of Peor (Num 22:41; 25:1-18; Deut 4:3,4), but the Israelites were subtly attracted to the gaiety and provocative character of Baal worship. [The avant-garde Church today is no different, offering rock music and appealing teaching and sensual worship to attract ‘worshippers’ through their doors.]
The "Ashtoreths" (‘ashtarot, Heb) were figurines and various manifestations of Ashtoreth (or Asherah), the Canaanite goddess of fertility and the consort of Baal. Closely associated with the Babylonian Ishtar [pronounced ‘Easter’], goddess of sensual love, maternity [ever wondered where our ‘Mother’s Day’ came from?] and fertility, she also became identified as the patroness of war as well as sex. Her worship was early entrenched at Sidon (cf 1 Kin 11:5, 33; 2 Kin 23:13), where she was identified as Astarte (the Greek form of her name). During times of spiritual decline and apostasy, Israel continually forsook the Lord God and served Baal and Ashtoreth (Judges 3:7; 10:6-16; 1 Sam 7:3,4; 12:10; 31:10; 1 Kin 11:4-8; 2 Kin 23:1-14.) (Footnote on Judges 2:11-13, NKJV Believer’s Study Bible.)
We are in a time of spiritual decline and apostasy right now, just as Paul predicted (1 Tim 4:1; 2 Thes 2:3) but the deceptions of Satan are far more subtle for Christians. Syncretism is a potent weapon of demons.
The angel said to Daniel:
But you, Daniel, shut up the words and seal the book until the time of the end; many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall increase (Dan 12:4). In God’s ingenuity, the Hebrew contains dual meaning. Certainly, there has been a rapid increase in knowledge of the physical, and rapid transportation also fulfils the underlined prophecy in the physical sense. But the Concordant Literal Translation of Daniel renders it as:
Now you, Daniel, stop up the words and seal the scroll until the era of the end, when many will SWERVE as evil will increase (Concordant.) To swerve is to deviate from what is straight and true. It may only be a slight deviation, but that is enough to take you off course and the wrong way. Such is the way of the Church at this time, which is why God has to send Elijah (Mal 4:5,6).
If you have read our ‘parent’ publication Who Is The End-Time Elijah?, you will know that one of the principal functions of Elijah’s coming is to prepare the Way, and what that means. Restoring lost truth that the Church has swerved away from, and restoring true practice is pivotal to preparing for Jesus’ coming. He’s not coming to take a Bride to Himself who is a prostitute, committing harlotry by taking part in idolatrous customs that have been imposed on her through Catholic tradition.
Elijah Restoring Truth Comes First
If you trace back the major apostate teachings of the Church, you find that most have their origins in syncretism promoted by Emperor Constantine in the fourth century AD. A dramatic falling away accompan- ied these State incursions into religion. More heresies were introduced shortly after Constantine, by the emerging Catholic Church, intent on using false religion as a means to control and subjugate the masses psychologically. Among the major heresies are:
And, God has given HIS seal of approval, through accompanying miracles and by speaking to others (who have never met me) commending this work of ‘Elijah’. (Some of this is contained in More Than A Prophet, What God Said About Midnight Ministries, Revelations From God About Midnight Ministries, our Dream Diaries which are published along with MM Newsletters, and through the testimony of others of how God has worked with them after they have accepted this restored Truth. We report some of these amazing happenings from abroad in our Newsletters.) I am not the Elijah. The Work of God is, that we are engaged in. Wherever people are involved in taking these restored truths to others, without seeking any glory for themselves (many who have gone in Jesus’ name can’t see that they do that), they are also part of the ‘Elijah’ Work of God. Ignore people who arrogantly lay claim to that title, like Morris Cerullo, or the very many self-proclaimed ‘prophets’ who have no miraculous testimony behind them, merely words of pride and self-promotion. The work of Elijah is not one of pride, but of self-abasement. Notice it: The voice of one crying in the wilderness: Prepare the way of the Lord... (Is 40:3). The voice said, "Cry out!" And he said, "What shall I cry?" "All flesh is grass, and all its loveliness is like the flower of the field. The grass withers, the flower fades, because the breath of the Lord blows upon it; surely the people are grass. The grass withers, the flower fades, but the Word of our God stands forever" (Is 40:6-8). Do you see what God’s emphasis is? His truth – His Word – takes pride of place. That is what is pre-eminent; not man; not a prophet; not an evangelist; not the Church. Nothing human is of any intrinsic spiritual worth without its transformation by the Spirit of God according to the Word of God. Elijah’s Rejection
Elijah did not have popular support. He was opposed by the establishment, condemned by the king, and traduced by the false prophets. If he lived today, he would not be like Reinhard Bonnke, Morris Cerullo, Luis Palau, or Benny Hinn, receiving support from millions to reach out to the masses. His material support was so minimal, you wouldn’t have believed it unless the Bible had recorded it. At one time it was only one widow (1 Ki 17:9). Prior to that, he had lived by the Kidron brook until it dried up, during the drought of judgement upon the nation for its sins. Ravens brought Elijah food twice a day (1 Ki 17:6). Elijah’s support was supernatural, not human. I heard that the false prophet Rick Joyner (MorningStar Journal) proclaimed that he had so much money he was offering some to other ministries who were hard up. To people with fleshly considerations, that sounds like he’s ‘in’ with God, and the poor guys aren’t. But appearances and human perceptions can be very misleading because God does not think like us. The false prophets receive the acclaim and megasupport in this age. The true prophets don’t, and rarely have. But they have God’s support and guidance. And they have His supernatural power to boot. Unprecedented Miracles
God spoke to Elijah, showing him what to do and where to go (1 Ki 17:2,8; 18:1; 21:17). You don’t declare a drought upon the nation for 3½ years, and see it happen in devastating force, if God has not spoken to you about it! (1 Ki 17:1.)
In 1994 God spoke to us to dig a cellar beneath our home. We had little human strength (Rev 3:8) – such minimal support that it was financially suicidal to go through with the proposition. But we did, because God had spoken.
The project lasted two years (for the major part of the work) and was finally completed after seven years. But during that time, we needed money and had none. I had credit cards which I used, since it was the only form of finance available to me. And Tonya was good enough to pay the monthly repayments for us from her salary working for a local firm. But it took nearly all her salary each month to service the debt. It didn’t pay it off. The amount was huge (by our standards).
If God had not spoken to us earlier, warning that we had to be prepared to go deeply into debt (and He named a sum of £10,000), I would not have had the guts to go through with the project. It took us to the point of death. So did Elijah’s witness for God (1 Ki 19:2).
When we could go on no longer, and I was up to my credit ceiling, facing red bills that would warrant a court summons if not paid, then God moved. He kept someone awake at night, putting thoughts in their mind about how we were managing financially. When they found out about our desperate plight, they cleared all our credit card debts with one fell swoop.
And not only did God do it that time, He did it other times too, when we were equally destitute. God is a God of miracles, to those who are in His will.
When the son of the widow, with whom Elijah was staying, died (1 Ki 17:17), Elijah could have given up, but he didn’t. He knew that God is God, and has limitless power and wonderful mercy. So he threw himself on God’s mercy and refused to accept death as final. He took the child in his arms, placed him on his bed upstairs, and prayed earnestly. He stretched himself out on the child three times and asked for his life (spirit) to return. The third time, the child came alive.
In this ministry we teach the uncompromising and complete Word of God, which includes raising the dead (Matt 10:8). Those who believe it are able to receive, as David Isaac Ohuoba has demonstrated repeatedly in Nigeria (about 5 people have been raised from the dead there).
Alex Odhiambo in Kenya wrote to me on 10th June 2008 about a widow’s daughter who died. God raised her from the dead. Here is his testimony:
At the time Grace and her child were held at the camp of IDPS they were troubled by mosquitoes. These mosquitoes bit the child and as a result the child was suffering from malaria. So on Friday last week she took the child to a nearby dispensary for treatment. As the child was being examined and some of the tests were being done, the child passed away. Grace cried bitterly and she was helped by one of the friends nearby. They brought the child home not knowing that God has power over death. [Grace was in the camp because her husband had been murdered in the post-election riots.]
She was shocked of the scene of the death for the child. I never took it seriously that the child was dead. I took the child from one of the women who carried her and I only said: "God this is Your daughter, may You take care of her." After 7 minutes the child started playing with her fingers.
I thank God for what He does to us. We are sinners before Him but He still showers mercy on us. The name of the child is JEMIMAH MUTHONI. She was dead for 32 hours. (She is the daughter of Grace Adoyo.)
God’s Judgement Can Be Sudden And Demonstrative
In another incident, a neighbour insulted and vilified Alex when he went to see her about some land. The hostility Alex received was completely unwarranted, so he quietly walked away.
She accused him of witchcraft and ascribed the miracles God had done to occult powers. A few days later God sent an angel in the middle of the night to beat her. (Page 31 of Newsletter 45.)
My son [or daughter], do not despise the chastening of the Lord, nor be discouraged when you are rebuked by Him; for whom the Lord loves He chastens, and scourges every son [or daughter] whom He receives (Heb 12:5,6). The demons holding onto this lady first tried to poison Alex. She was going to invite Alex to her home and poison him, but God revealed her plot to Benter and Kennedy in another town a day’s journey away and they forewarned him.
First God gave Helena, here in Britain, a dream warning that a black woman was being very argumentative with Alex, and that she should not argue with him. Alex recognised that the dream depicted his situation with the woman.
Then God gave a dream to Kennedy in Kenya, showing that the woman swore to kill Alex because she was convinced he was bewitching her.
To add to the information God gave in the dream to Kennedy (see p 31 of N45), when Benter prayed about it, she was told that there would be a wooden cross on the wall of the woman’s home, fixed with a 3 inch nail, but that it would fall down as a sign from God.
When Alex told the woman all this, and showed her the account in writing, and the cross fell down, she repented and acknowledged that we do indeed bring the truth and power of God, not witchcraft. The last I heard is that she is learning from MM literature.
There is nothing more wonderful than for a sinner to turn away from sinning and turn their life over to God in humble obedience.
Exceptional Revelations
0Elijah declared a three year drought upon the nation because of its stubborn rebellion. At the end of that time, God moved Elijah to summon the leaders and false prophets to Mount Carmel to hear him expose their treachery against God. You know the story. Fire fell from heaven to consume the sacrifice.
God backs up His ‘Elijahs’!
Alex was awoken one morning in July at 4.30 by a very unusual sound like thunder. The sound was so loud he got out of bed and sat and listened. When he had plucked up the courage to go outside and see whether rain was coming, all he saw was a clear sky with a bright shining moon.
He went back into his house. By now his body was covered in sweat and he was full of wonder, so he asked God what was happening.
As he was praying, God showed him a palace. In this palace were innumerable people who had been dead but were now resurrected. Their names were printed on the clothes on their backs. It was hard for him to read the names, except one – a lady walking towards the king who sat in front. On her back was the name "DIANA".
Elijah got the attention of people back then by calling down fire from heaven to trounce all the false prophets. Elijah today will call down a different fire of God in our time. As we have prophesied since 1993, God will bring back people who have long been dead to attest to the truths of God we are promoting.
The false prophets had the hearts of the people (except for a few) especially the leaders. Elijah didn’t. True prophets are usually only recognised after they are dead. Jesus’ lament in Matthew 23:37 encapsul- ates the prophet’s lot – rejection and death.
Question: Who has believed our report? And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed? (Is 53:1.) A. The true prophets, of whom Jesus was chief, and those who believe them. If you believe the ones sent, you will receive the reward from God, which is primarily understanding the message. But most don’t.
Only the elect will understand, because they are humble. They do not want elevation, acclaim, prominence (except for Jesus’ sake). They don’t want fame or fortune; merely to do the will of God:
Then I said, ‘Behold, I have come – in the volume of the book it is written of Me – to do Your will, O God’ (Heb 10:7). Like Jesus, they shun all the things of the world that are based on pride, self-seeking and lust. So, they are not contaminated by the world, but are cleansed by Jesus’ blood, and so they hear, perceive and respond to Elijah’s message.
False Prophets To Come
Alex continued to relate the revelation he was given. He said:
"After this vision I saw that we were only a few people carrying the book Testing The Spirits.
"Also I heard a booming sound saying that, ‘since the world is soon ending, accompany yourself every day with the message in this book. More brilliant learned prophets are coming to deceive multitudes of people. But remember, count yourself blessed because I have warned you of this through that book.’
"After that, Malcolm, I raised my hands and prayed for the second time. Then I walked out to start my manual work of cleaning the compound.
"The vision forced me to go back to check that book. Amazingly enough on pages 78 and 79 I got the messages about Princess Diana. Another strong warning was on page 118 which explains and warns us of false prophets. "May the living God shed on us more light and embrace us in Jesus’ Christ’s name."
The New World Order
I have often avoided using the term New World Order because false prophets have spread so many whacky concepts about it. But there is a new order of things emerging in the world. America is on the way down, and out. Soon she will fall to foreign powers, and another world power will rise to fill the vacuum.
Russia is already flexing her muscles. As I write (August 2008) she has invaded Georgia, and wants more control in that region to push America and NATO out.
China is already well established economically in Africa and elsewhere, making sure she has her grip on supplies of materials for her burgeoning industry.
Britain’s economic woes intensify along with America’s, and it is only a matter of a short time before these nations go as has been prophesied. (See Revelations From God About The Judgement Of Britain, and The Imminent Fall of America.)
Two pivotal dreams about the brevity of the time remaining cited two years for America and three years for Britain. Here are those accounts:
25th March 1999. H. Dream of Chinese Attack. In two years' time the attack will start. It is a definite plan, like a machine, it is programmed. There is no turning it back because America will not turn to God. Note: God did not say when the 2 years are to reckoned from. It is from a presently undisclosed starting point. We have speculated a couple of times about this, not being sure, but we now think the two years is connected with this ministry, and the raising of the dead that has been prophesied for some years. However, that is only speculation. The fact is, we don't need to know when the two years begins. Time is short!! 9th April 1999. M. Dream of woman predicting Three years left in Europe. Comment: Like the earlier dream of Two Years Before The Chinese Attack USA, this dream needs a starting point to make accurate sense. The start may be when the dead are raised in MM's outreach to Britain. Perhaps God is comparing Britain's demise with America's, to point out that Britain will go down one year after America? I don't know. Revelation is continuous. Wait and see.
On August 12th, Alex wrote to me about three dreams he received:
1. Picking flowers. I saw many people picking flowers. The flowers were full of lovely nectar. Meaning: This symbolises people finding the truths of God which are like nectar-rich flowers. Don’t beautiful things which God has made bring joy to your heart? So it is that His truths rejoice the heart like lovely flowers. Alex is making MM literature available to people in his country, hence the dream.
2. 666. I saw some pastor’s face with the number 666 written on it. Meaning: We are near to the end when the Beast will emerge and enforce his mark of allegiance on people. Even many pastors will sadly accept it. 666 is a numeric symbol of the final embodi- ment of evil encapsulated in a human system. Much more is given in our tome on the book of Revelation.
3. End of present world order. God also told me that the final decisions are being made that will bring to an end the present world order. It will soon be announced to the entire world, and the world will see this present order of things passing away. There is only one dot preventing it occurring now. The dot represents some human beings creating complications. We were advised in the dream to be watchful, and keep an eye on current events, because things are taking place hidden from view. A merger or alliance is going to occur between many Christian bishops. pastors and ministers, instigated by the devil. It is a technical merger, not real unity. Comment: The ecumenical movement seemed to have died a death. But then, so did the image of the beast in Revelation 13:14-15. For some ‘political’ (power-sharing) motive of expedience, religious leaders make deals with others who hold power to gain influence. It is corrupt, unbiblical, and an abomination to God. But it will be part of the last resurrection of the Holy Roman Empire in Europe, which will hold sway over much of the world for a time.
Blessed Are Those Who Die In Jesus
There will be many martyrs for Jesus in the few years ahead of us now — in Europe; in America; in Britain; and in other countries of the world. Notice:
When He opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain for the word of God and for the testimony which they held. And they cried with a loud voice, saying, "How long, O Lord, holy and true, until You judge and avenge our blood on those who dwell on the earth?" Then a white robe was given to each of them; and it was said to them that they should rest a little while longer, until both the number of their fellow servants and their brethren, who would be killed as they were, was completed (Rev 6:9-11). In the new order of things coming in the world, a government will take over in Europe, labelled "the beast", who also depicts the President in dual symbolism. He will appear benign and have popular appeal, but from God’s perspective his motives are bestial True Christians will be persecuted and even tortured and put to death in the austerity to come. Who would believe these horrors are a mere three years or so away?
And some of those of understanding shall fall, to refine them, purify them, and make them white, until the time of the end, because it is still for the appointed time (Dan 11:35). And at that time Michael shall stand up, the great prince who stands watch over the sons of your people; and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation, even to that time, and at that time your people shall be delivered, every one who is found written in the book [of life] (Dan 12:1). God cares for all His children, but unfortunately His children don’t care for Him to the same degree. So, although God would want to protect each one, they need to endure to be purified, as the text above alludes.
Likewise, some will be martyrs for the powerful witness and convicting results in others that their deaths will instigate. We read of a massive harvest coming to God during this 3½ years of Tribulation (Rev 7:9-14). These people will all have heard Elijah’s message warning of the dire results of ignoring God’s call to repentance. Having done just that at first, and finding themselves in unprecedented trouble, they will turn to God in their desperation, repent, and be converted.
This part of Elijah’s work, conducted by MM in restoring the truth in written form, will be followed by the next phase — the two witnesses (Rev 11). Their outspoken witness will last the duration of the Great Tribulation, for 3½ years, right up until Jesus returns.
Of this hellish 3½ years, we have reminders not to fear death:
Then I heard a voice from heaven saying to me, Write: Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now on. Yes, says the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours, and their works follow them (Rev 14:13). Do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. But rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell (Matt 10:28). God’s Inexorable Judgement
Elijah finishes his task. Then God’s judgement rapidly intensifies upon the remainder of rebellious mankind, who adamantly refuse to repent no matter what God does to encourage them to do so (Rev 16).
God destroys those who kill God’s people. He gives them blood to drink! (Rev 16:6); scorches them with the sun (16:8,9); gathers earth’s armies to Armageddon to face utter annihilation! (16:16); throws down the mountains (16:20); and hurls down massive hailstones weighing a hundredweight each! (16:21.)
In Ethiopia, Kassahun received this dream on 17th July 2008 about this terrifying world upheaval:
The earth appeared to be heaving up and down. It was violently vomiting up. Buildings were crumbling. People were running everywhere, screaming in fear. Elijah’s call is for people to repent, to avoid suffering this fate. But most will not. When obdurate rebels stood against God’s Work of MM in Kenya, they were blown out of the way. Some were struck down and died (related in When God’s Judgement Falls). Elijah meted out that fate to the army commanders who came against him (2 Kings 1). And the two witnesses will do so equally supernaturally (Rev 11:5).
Kennedy in Kenya was given a dream of more people being struck dead who come against us: 24th July 2008 Last night I had a dream that there was a certain big house that housed the MM office. Somebody came along and started throwing stones at the office windows [this will be the British police]. The glass got broken. I was annoyed and moved toward him to restrain him. Then a sound said: "Leave him alone and touch him not". I was perplexed why this act of thuggery should be left to continue. As I stood wondering, immediately there was a thunderbolt that struck the man dead! I was relieved that he reaped what he sowed.
God is not mocked; when He assigns a prophet a task, anyone who comes against him pays a hefty price for their rebellion (2 Kin 2:23,24). "Elijah" means "MY GOD IS YAH!" [The I AM! The All-Powerful One!]
Revival Before Tribulation
We know from revelations which God has given us that the time Jesus referred to in world history as the Great Tribulation is not far away.
But before those years of hardship and woe – for the people of God as well as for the whole world – God is going to pour out His Spirit in a new wave. It will bring revival to the few who are open to Him, and enable them to face what must come.
It follows on the heels of the false revival that has been taking place, where compromised motives and fleshly-seeking have turned what God initially gave into a demonic soup.
There is so much confusion, especially where miraculous activity occurs. Demons are being cast out by the power of God, but many more demons are ‘waiting in the wings’, looking for their opportunity to invade and cause mayhem. And they sure do!
Just look at what has happened in Toronto, Brownsville, Pensacola and other places where people have frolicked in the fun, led by false ministers. What God began, they turned into idolatrous revelry, like Israel who danced at the foot of Mount Sinai! (Ex 32.)
As we have prophesied since 1993 (now 16 years ago), the dead will rise (some names of those whom God will bring back are revealed in the article Waking The Dead). Their testimony will generate a worldwide witness, which will take the Gospel to ALL nations before the end comes. God will perform stupendous miracles – as He has already been doing, only much more so. And truth will be restored – pure truth, unadulterated truth – which is why these other revivals turned false – they didn’t have pure truth, and didn’t want it.
But we do, and also the few who are humble and meek who likewise want it, will eat and be satisfied. From Kenya came this report:
...When I went to the house and prayed about this, I was stirred up by the Spirit and God said He is sending a great revival to Kenya the scale that has never been witnessed – the dead rising etc., and only this will counter the long held deception and error. God is presently sifting the hearts of people before this, so one and all take their positions as the Korah and Dathan vs Moses. After this comes the great revival. David
Here are three of the many dreams Kassahun received:
Nov 28/05. They think we can’t have revival! We will!! I saw the sky was covered with dark clouds. But there was not a drop of rain yet. A man told me that there will be no rain where we are because it has rained at another place. I didn’t like the person’s remark and by faith I told those with me that there will be a great downpour in the next few minutes. God honoured my faith and there came a great downpour which soaked all of us. Comment: The man is a church or ministry leader, who opposes and resists the truth we bring. Those who don’t accept the truths we promote think that we can’t receive revival, but they are wrong, and God is with us. He rewards the faithful.
Feb. 6/07. Malcolm, Helena and I were in a large tent where several people were gathered together. The people were gathered there to be filled with the Holy Spirit. We (Malcolm, Helena and I) were praying and interceding. Because the people didn't see anything happening they became discouraged and began grumbling and complaining about us. [Many have turned away from us because they didn’t have faith, and did not have spiritual perception to see what God was doing through us.] I told them to be patient and wait. After a few hours God's powerful Spirit came down and many people fell on the ground (slain by the Spirit). Malcolm was speaking in tongues [that IS unusual; it’s not a regular gift to me]. A fire came down from heaven on the tent but the tent wasn't burned. Those outside the tent became afraid and rushed to the tent to be saved. Meaning: A portrayal of the revival coming with revival phenomena and supernatural manifestations. Those outside the tent are new believers who will be saved. March 31/06. In a dream I saw several small groups had formed. These small groups were preparing themselves for a great event. They were expecting something very important. I joined with one of these groups. Someone told us to prepare for the storm of the Spirit. We were eager to receive it. Comment: Revival is going to erupt like a storm. Besides martyrdom, there will be miracles, too, according to God’s plan. & Malcolm B Heap Bible quotations are from the New King James Version (NKJV) unless otherwise stated
