Pray for United States: Dutch Sheet: An Explosive Revelation is Coming!

Editor’s note: This article is an excerpt from the 12/12 prayer of “Give Him 15 Minutes” from Dutch Sheets, the intercession leader. “I invite you to join me every day and pray for our country until the election crisis is resolved. I will read the daily “Give Him 15 Minutes”, comment, and then we will pray together. When we “petition to heaven” for the United States, you can join us here.

【Current Event: More and more is coming to the surface regarding Chinese involvement in our nation. They are, without doubt, the greatest threat to America and the world. Their goal: world domination. America has been in bed with them financially, and they now have influence over many in our government. A Biden White House would all but hand them the worldwide dominance they seek.

Many, myself included, believe they are VERY involved in our election fraud. Many also believe that numerous U.S. government leaders, including Republicans, don’t want Donald Trump in office because it could jeopardize the millions of dollars they have invested in – or stand to make as a result of – their dealings with China. No doubt, a lot of people in our government will lose much if China’s involvement is exposed. …Detailed Reading】

Pray For First Nations

Pray for the First Nation in North American: Raise up an Army for Spiritual Breakthroughs in the Last Days!

【Current affairs: When some Chinese intercessors mentioned that when they prayed for the First Nation, they received the revelation of “Ancient Sounds” which is a beautiful and colorful language rich in First Nation culture. The channel God gave to the First Nation peoples to communicate with Him which is a sound that God is familiar with and a voice that God missed. God is waiting for the First Nation people to release their voice. When they speak, they will bring great spiritual breakthroughs. A First Nation father even asked, “Really?” We realized that the First Nation people really don’t know that. When they sing, dance, play drums, worship and praise will have a great impact on the natural and the spiritual world. …click to read more 】

• Psalms 19: 1-4 “The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands. Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they reveal knowledge. They have no speech, they use no words; no sound is heard from them. Yet their voice goes out into all the earth,  their words to the ends of the world. In the heavens God has pitched a tent for the sun.”
• Psalm 24: 7 “Lift up your heads, you gates; be lifted up, you ancient doors, that the King of glory may come in.”

【PRAYER】

• All Ethnic Groups Align Themselves with the Plan of God for The First Nation People: Heavenly Father, please continue to awaken the Chinese and non-Aboriginal peoples to align with Your intentions and plans for the First Nation people to help them to understand their identity to be comforted, healed, and restored to walk with the First Nation people in love, and support them to walk into their destiny and calling!
• First Nation People Raise up to Become The Last Days Explosive Army: Heavenly Father, we thank You for the revelation, to release the ancient voice, “The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands. Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they reveal knowledge.” ( Psalm  19: 1-2) The First Nation people are the steward of the land and the key to revival. When they worship, they can open the heavens and release great breakthroughs. Please restore their language, music, dance, and faith. Release and restore their worship in their own way, release ancient sounds, release spiritual blast, open the ancient gates, and welcome the King of Glory.

Editor’s Note: Lana Vawser: IT IS TIME FOR MOMENTOUS MIRACLES OF MY FAITHFULNESS

Information:  Lana Vacherie (Lana Vawser)

Date : 2020, December 16 

Over the last few months, the Lord has been speaking to me more and more about His faithfulness. (Lamentations 3:21-24) He has been speaking to me about how He is revealing His faithfulness in deeper ways than we have ever seen before, right now.

The Lord has had me deep in Numbers 23:19:

“God is not man, that he should lie, or a son of man, that he should change his mind. Has he said, and will he not do it? Or has he spoken, and will he not fulfill it?”

2020 has been an intense year for many and many have been through deep trials, disappointments, hardship, and battle, but 2020 does NOT change what He has said, and 2020 does NOT change His nature. God is forging and forming a remnant of people who are passionately devoted to His Word and will hold on and not let go. They are a people that are learning in deeper ways what it means to walk by faith and not by sight. (2 Corinthians 5:7) At the end of 2019, the Lord spoke to me that 2020 would be a year and the beginning of an era of an army rising up who know what it is to walk in the ferocious focus of faith. That 2020 would be a year that the Church would need bold faith and we would move into an era of bold faith like we have never known before. This is happening right now. This is a time where the Church needs to hold to what God has said and not let go. This is a time to be ferociously focused on what the Spirit of God is saying and NOT be double-minded. This is a time to lock eyes with the One whose eyes are like flames of fire. (Revelation 19:12)

God is NOT a man that He should lie. God has not fallen asleep. He has not forgotten you. We are about to see the most explosive demonstrations of what happens WHEN GOD SPEAKS on a scale we have never seen. The way God is moving, the WAY that He is going to fulfill His Word is going to look different but it is creating a deeper level of dependence and humility within those leaning in to cry out to know and understand His ways in deeper ways than we have ever experienced. This is a time to REALLY trust the Lord and anchor your faith because He is going to do what He said He is going to do.

We have entered a time of the most explosive demonstrations of the justice of God and the reward of the faithful. We are in a time where the explosive power of God and His justice will be demonstrated on the earth in unprecedented ways.

Momentous miracles of His faithfulness, demonstration of His power, and His VOICE WINNING are upon us. God is going to powerfully demonstrate that NOTHING trumps His voice. The power of the prophetic voice of God is going to manifest explosively, but I hear the thundering question from the heart of God “WHO WILL YOU BELIEVE?” – it is time to stand on what God is speaking and NOT MOVE. He is faithful and He doesn’t change and He will do what He said He is going to do. This morning the Lord said to me “Lana, remind My people again that I am faithful, remind My people again of the POWER of My Word and that MY VOICE WINS.”

So I am reminding you today friend, HIS VOICE WINS, it’s time to partner with His voice like you have never partnered with it before. It’s not a place of striving, it’s a place of the FAITH REST. It’s the place where you stand unmoved taking the Lord at His Word.

These explosive demonstrations of the Lord’s faithfulness and power that will burst forth are going to reintroduce the Church to Him as the King of Glory, the Righteous Judge, the Lion of Judah, the Ruler of Heaven and Earth, and His Majesty and holiness. I see a remnant falling even deeper in love with Him as the miraculous displays of His faithfulness and power are revealed.

There is a divine RULING OF GOD taking place right now and we must take the Lord at His Word and feast upon His faithfulness. He is doing and going to do what He said He is going to do. Don’t waiver, don’t move, stay steadfast in the revelation of His nature, momentous miracles are beginning to take place that will change and shape the direction of individuals and nations.

The Lion of Judah is roaring. A roar of His justice, the roar of His voice, the roar of His power, and the roar of His faithfulness.

HIS VOICE WINS!

Warrior of God, it’s time to enter into a new realm of faith through partnering with what He is saying. He will do what He said He will do.

“For as the rain and the snow come down from heaven and do not return there but water the earth, making it bring forth and sprout, giving seed to the sower and bread to the eater, so shall my word be that goes out from my mouth; it shall not return to me empty, but it shall accomplish that which I purpose, and shall succeed in the thing for which I sent it.” (Isaiah 55:10-11)

“Keep trusting in the Lord and do what is right in His eyes. Fix your heart on the promises of God and you will be secure, feasting on His faithfulness. Make God the utmost delight and pleasure of your life, and he will provide for you what you desire the most. Give God the right to direct your life, and as you trust him along the way you’ll find he pulled it off perfectly.” (Psalm 37:3-5)

Editor’s Note: Kent Christmas : A gift you will never forge

Information:  Kent Christmas  

Date : December 17, 2020 

Source : Kingdom Alive

Editor’s note: This article is part of a powerful prophecy released by Pastor Kent Christmas of the Regeneration Nashville Church on December 17, 2020. I encourage you not only to read this article, but also to take the time to listen to this prophecy in its entirety (click here to watch the video ). Pray and agree to the information released in it. This is not only for elections, but also related to the revival of the world.

What I’m doing is not the resurrection of something old, but I am doing something new on the earth that you have not seen. In my mercy, I have been silent because I have been giving evil men time to repent. But now, as evil has declared war on Me and on the church, so do I declare war on you, says the Lord. I am sending My word forth into the earth and it will not return unto Me unfulfilled, but all that I have declared over the decades will come to pass.

Know this, says the Lord of hosts, I will not, I will not let evil men and so-called believers who are full of unbelief make Me a liar. When I send forth My word it goes forth as a sword and it is going to pierce the very strongholds of the power of darkness. Just as I came to earth the first time as God in the flesh, so am I now coming to you and to this nation, and across the earth in this Christmas season to give you a gift, says the Lord, that you will never forget.

What you have been watching in the media is the spirit of that woman Jezebel trying to replace the woman called the church in the earth. But the voice of the church in this hour are My prophets, and they will not be silenced. And the word of the Lord that I have released in this hour – though it looks impossible says God, it will come to pass. All that I have declared to you, it will not come to pass by the power of men, it will not come through politics or law or even the Supreme Court, says the Lord, but it will come by the power of the Holy Ghost in this hour.

And January 2021, the angel Michael is sounding the ram’s horn as a call to war against false religion and the counterfeit church on the earth. There is a spirit of power and authority that is going to arise in you. There is now a sound of the lion of the tribe of Judah getting ready to come up out of the house of the Lord. I am coming to you this Christmas season. I have not forgotten what I promised you, and though it looks impossible, and though the media says it will not happen, and though they have already crowned one king, I say to you he is a false king.

Have I not always told you that though I tarry long when you pray, that when I do come I will show up quickly. What I am ready to do in the next few weeks will be quick work. It will not be done in part. It will not have a back door for the enemy to come through, but I’m going to finish what I started. And for four years the glory of the Lord will descend on the earth in a way you have never seen. I have waited to show Myself in this time of destiny because I wanted the enemy to show himself first. Now that he is uncovered, you’re going to see the anointing of evangelism being released in the earth and harvest will begin.

Just as I had to wait until the sword could be put in the hand of David before the enemy was destroyed, just as I waited for the Jordan to flood before Israel could cross over, just as I waited for Mordecai to be promoted until Haman‘s gallows were built, know this – the enemy has built a gallows on which to hang the church. But I’m getting ready to reverse what has been declared in this nation, and I’m going to take the weapon that has been formed against the house of the Lord, and I am going to cause the enemy to be destroyed by the very weapon he forged in the fires of hell to destroy the people of God. In the next four years, I’m giving the nations of the earth to the church as their inheritance.

Editor’s Note: Hanukkah: The Remnants of the Holy Revolution (1)

Information:  David Peng   

Date : December 18, 2020 

Source : Kingdom Alive

Speak to Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, to Joshua son of Jozadak the high priest, and to the remnant of the people. Ask them,  ‘Who of you is left who saw this house in its former glory? How does it look to you now? Does it not seem to you like nothing? 

But now be strong, Zerubbabel,’ declares the Lord. ‘Be strong, Joshua son of Jozadak, the high priest. Be strong, all you people of the land,’ declares the Lord, ‘and work. For I am with you,’ declares the Lord Almighty. (Haggai 2:2-4)

Fool, Speculator, Remnant

I want to thank the Lord, first for revealing three identities to the world in this chaotic end time:

• “Fool” those who found out that they have been deceived for a long time, and also discovered that some people use deception as their main method
• “Speculator” those who can be bought as long as they can profit from it, and then join the camp of the devourer.
• The “Remnant” are the few who, no matter how severe the environment is suppressed, insist on the truth and are loyal unto death, they will eventually control the whole earth with the Lord.

Many people, including Christians, with a wishful thinking that, if they can just pursue their “American Dream”, enjoy comfort, for their children to be accepted into prestigious schools, graduate and get into high-tech companies, then they are being protected and kept by the Lord in peace. For two thousand years, Christians have spent most of their time only worshiping God inside the four walls of major denominations (including independent Churches), allowing the forces of darkness to control the 7 mountains that God has given us dominion over, including: politics, economy,  media , education,

entertainment, family, etc. At best, they only pray for these leaders in those positions, but rarely willing to pay the price of time and apply the gift of God to participate in it. Until this year 2020, many people suddenly realized that we were manipulated by fake news and deceived for a long time. Ambitious people use political and economic status to manipulate the public, and the churches where we think are safe are also forbidden to gather. The worst is that schools have become the cradle of Pollution to our next generation. Even the presidential election in the United States has become a laughing stock-“How can the world’s top-notch America fall into such a situation?”

Praise the Lord, He still protects the remnant who simply loves the Lord and believes in God. Now that we have clearly seen the “Speculator” that devoured the “Fools” by the “deceiving” policies and methods. Just like the sea monsters coming out of the swamp devouring the general public, and the “remnant” of God, must eventually triumph: overcome the Antichrist and possess the land for inheritance!

Therefore, I am grateful to see the remnants carefully preserved by God around the world in these last days. Many of the following sharings come from their lives and testimonies, including Papa Fred and Eastcoast Family, Ed Watts from the United States, Harald Eckert from Germany, Anton Cruz from India, Rabbi Bergen from Israel, etc.

The Deeper Significance of Hanukkah

This year’s Hanukkah is also very different, just like the Maccabee uprising in 167-160 BC. The Feast of Dedication or Hanukkah has at least three meanings:

1. Pruning: Who belongs to God?
2. Dedication of The Temple: Dedicating the land to the people again
3. Light: Endure to the end to turn defeat into victory

I also found that many people including Jews and Christians have many misunderstandings and deceptions about Hanukkah:

1. Hanukkah is not just a cultural festival for the Jews, but is about all people, especially Christians!
2. The records and reminders of Hanukkah in the Bible are consistent from the Old Testament to the New Testament, but we have ignored it for a long time!
3. Hanukkah will become the spiritual symbol of the godly remnants of the last days rising up the divine revolution over the antichrist!

The following is the record of Haggai. The number of people who returned to Jerusalem from Babylon to rebuild the temple was actually very few, so it is called the remnant Because the Jews who were exiled in Babylon have also been there for 70 years, many people have become comfortable where they are. The drudgery of rebuilding the temple in the desolate homeland is easy to give up unless there is a strong belief.

Let us pay attention to two important people here: the governor of Judah Zorobabel and the high priest Joshua . Not only were they given the heavy responsibility to rebuild the temple, more importantly, they were a type of the Lord Jesus Christ. The predecessor of the Kingdom of Judea was also the spiritual guide of the Hasmonean Dynasty (also known as the Kingdom of Judea) (pictured on the left) that emerged after the Maccabee uprising, because Jesus was both the high priest and the king, there was no such precedent among the Jewish kings. But it is clearly mentioned in the book of Zechariah:

It is he who will build the temple of the Lord, and he will be clothed with majesty and will sit and rule on his throne. And he[a] will be a priest on his throne. And there will be harmony between the two.’  The crown will be given to Heldai, Tobijah, Jedaiah and Hen[c] son of Zephaniah as a memorial in the temple of the Lord. Zechariah 6:13-14

The seed of David is the king and is also in the genealogy of Jesus. It will build the temple of Jehovah. Whether it is really building the third temple or building us into a resting place for God in the last days, we want to see the Lord Jesus’ kingdom Bring Shalom on the two identities of king and priest!

We know that God always leaves foreshadowings and signs in the Bible to describe the future and glory of the Messiah and His kingdom, so we don’t need to be surprised. God used  “Daniel,” “Haggai,” and “Zechariah” to describe the Israelites return to Jerusalem after seventy years of exile: to depict the temple being rebuilt in the last days that will be presented before the Second Coming, will Hanukkah, Dedication be the clearest symbols and signs? Let us take a closer look.

On the twenty-fourth day of the ninth month, in the second year of Darius, the word of the Lord came to the prophet Haggai:  “This is what the Lord Almighty says: ‘Ask the priests what the law says:  If someone carries consecrated meat in the fold of their garment, and that fold touches some bread or stew, som

e wine, olive oil or other food, does it become consecrated?’”The priests answered, “No.” Then Haggai said, “If a person defiled by contact with a dead body touches one of these things, does it become defiled?”“Yes,” the priests replied, “it becomes defiled.” Then Haggai said, “‘So it is with this people and this nation in my sight,’ declares the Lord. ‘Whatever they do and whatever they offer there is defiled.“ Haggai 2:10-14

King Darius overthrew the Babylonian Empire and became the ruler of Medo-Persia. (Daniel 5:30-31 ) On September 24th of the second year of his tenure, God gave the prophet Haggai a word to let him see the state of the Israeli people and the country before the Lord. The work they did and the offerings on the altar were not holy. Interestingly, this record of 520 BC is very likely to become a very deep inspiration and foundation for the Maccabee priest family in 160 BC.

Because the Maccabee family saw how Antiochus IV, Epiphanes (pictured right) of the Seleucid Empire split from the Greek Empire at that time oppressed and persecuted Jews at all levels, not only killing them. The Jews forced them to become slaves and competed for supremacy with the Ptolemy Empire that split from the Greek Empire (pictured right). At that time, the Jews were caught in it. In addition to being tortured by military brutality, Antiochus IV also forcibly implemented various torture and tyranny to fully Hellenization the Jews, prohibiting Jews from owning or reading the Torah, and forbid circumcision, and even the defected Jews were subjected to circumcision surgery, so that Jews could enter the upper class of Greece ( liked public baths), and Jews were required to worship the highest Greek god in the temple: Zeus, eating Pork, and the use of pig blood to defile the temple, etc., in the eyes of the Maccabee priests’ family, they must have been reminded of Haggai? “So it is with this people and this nation in my sight,” declares the Lord. ‘Whatever they do and whatever they offer there is defiled” (Haggai 2:14)

Was that the reason, the Maccabees, in order to awaken the uncompromising people, chose to revolt on the 24th of the ninth month. Sure enough, in the seven years between 160 and 167 BC, this small group of Maccabees, who had no formal military training, eliminated the Hellenistic Jews through guerrilla warfare, and Antiochus IV Ibifani. The revolution led by the Maccabees finally defeated the Seleucid dynasty, successfully regained the temple, and restored the worship of the temple. The first thing was to light the temple’s golden lampstand and establish a completely independent Hasmoni dynasty. (From 110 to 63 BC until becoming a vassal state of the Roman Empire). Therefore, on the national emblem of the Hasmoni dynasty (picture 2 ) and the state seal of the state of Israel today (picture 2 right), is not the star of David, but the golden lampstand in the middle, and there are two kings and priests. A symbolic olive tree is on the left and right, as described in Zechariah 6:13-14.

Figure 2: The national emblem of the Hasmoni Dynasty (left) and the national seal of the state of Israel today (right)

The familiar story of the dream of Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, recorded in Daniel 2,  the golden head is The Babylonian Empire was also the empire that captured the young Daniel from Jerusalem. Although the Babylonian empire was rampant, Babylonian King Nebuchadnezzar was unable to sleep because of his forgotten nightmare. This gave Daniel a great conviction that the Babylonian empire would definitely collapse. While you were watching, a rock was cut out, but not by human hands. It struck the statue on its feet of iron and clay and smashed them. Then the iron, the clay, the bronze, the silver and the gold were all broken to pieces and became like chaff on a threshing floor in the summer. The wind swept them away without leaving a trace.; It will crush all those kingdoms and bring them to an end, but it will itself endure forever. ( Daniel 2:34-35, 44 ) In Daniel’s time, Roman Empire was not in existence at all. Therefore, even the name of this empire is left blank in the book of Daniel, but why is the big rock hitting the foot and not other parts? I believe this is because this vision is not only for the time of Daniel. but also for the future to have hope!

This is what the Lord says: “When seventy years are completed for Babylon, I will come to you and fulfill my good promise to bring you back to this place.  For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Jeremiah 29:10-11

We know that Jesus was not only born in the era of the Roman Empire, but also crucified under the Roman regime. At the same time, the temple was also destroyed by General Titus (later Caesar) who was destroyed in AD 70 years, and the Jews once again the subjugated country exiled to all parts of the world; the church also survived 300 years of trial under the oppression of the Roman Empire. As depicted in the book of Revelation: To the one who is victorious, I will give the right to sit with me on my throne, just as I was victorious and sat down with my Father on his throne. ( Revelation 3:21 )

We also know that when the Wisemen of the East saw the Star of Bethlehem come to Jerusalem to ask the Jewish king at the time “Where is the newborn king so we can worship him”, the king was no other but Herod (who was full of suspicion and delusion he even killed his own wife and son), and he deliberately used Egyptian forces to usurp and finally end the Hasmoni dynasty, including marrying Princess Miriam of the Hasmoni dynasty and attempted to drown the last male heir of the Hasmonean dynasty in Jericho’s palace, for his own ambitions and Herodian Dyansty and bowed to the Roman Empire Herod the Great, is this a coincidence?

Jesus, the King of kings, the Lord of lords, was born in this very strategic (Note 1)) reign of the suspicious King Herod, and Christians should be very familiar with this historical record. Because Hanukkah started with the Maccabee uprising, This is the first birth of Jesus, an introduction to His Kingdom for the first time. Therefore, we must quote the vision of the Daniel 8, from the rapid rise of Alexander the undefeated Great Herod’s empire, to his sudden death at the age of 33 ( Dan 8:8 ), to split the kingdom into four empires and extend To Antiochus IV Ibifani (Dan 8:9-10 ), and how he oppressed the Jews and defiled the temple ( Dan 8:11-12 ), and the Maccabee uprising, Antiochus died to the restoration of the Holy Temple and so on. ( Dan 8:13-14 )

Then I heard a holy one speaking, and another holy one said to him, “How long will it take for the vision to be fulfilled—the vision concerning the daily sacrifice, the rebellion that causes desolation, the surrender of the sanctuary and the trampling underfoot of the Lord’s people?” He said to me, “It will take 2,300 evenings and mornings; then the sanctuary will be reconsecrated.” Daniel 8:13-14

Because the two thousand and three hundred days and nights, which is 1150 days, which is counting from the beginning of defilement of the altar of the Lord by Antioch IV until Judah Maccabees During the time when worship was resumed on the 25th of Kislev, 165 BC, we must understand that Hanukkah is by no means a Jewish cultural festival (many Jews today, although celebrate Hanukkah but know very little of it), On the contrary, it is a solemn reminder and spiritual symbol especially for the remnant of the last days, as in Zechariah 9:13: I will bend Judah as I bend my bow and fill it with Ephraim. I will rouse your sons, Zion,  against your sons, Greece,  and make you like a warrior’s sword. I take Judas as the winding bow; I take Ephraim as the bow arrow. Zion, I will arouse your sons, and attack the sons of Greece, and make you like a warrior’s sword.

Honestly, it wasn’t until this Hanukkah did I suddenly discover that this Bible verse was a type of how the Maccabees rebelled and overthrew all the “Herod” forces that suppressed the saints’ worship of God!

We also experience and see today that all the dark forces that are rampant in the world are choking the breath out of the saints, hoping to eat and swallow the church alive. We are the sons of Judah, and we should rise up against Greece. The power of darkness. The seven churches in the last days are like seven golden lampstands, and they must regain the seven mountains overwhelmed by the prostitutes of Babylon. ( Revelation 17:9 ) Next, let’s take a look at the reminders that the signs of the sky and the earth!

Proof of Hanukkah:Shaking in the Last Days

I will start with the magnitude 7 earthquake that occurred in the Aegean Sea on 10/30/2020.

Izmir is the original site of the Church of Smyrna in the Apocalypse, and suffered the most losses during this earthquake. Smyrna comes from the root of Myrrh, which means trial, suffering and martyrdom. But it also represents perseverance, loyalty and the crown of life. The earthquake occurred near the “Palmois Island” in the Aegean Sea. Not only did the seven church sites of the Apocalypse shake at that time, but even in Athens, the capital of the Greek peninsula, and the current Turkish capital Istanbul, which connects Asia and Europe.  All have the occurrence of tsunamis, which is Constantinopolis that once belonged to the Roman Empire. This earthquake occurred on the day before Reformation Day (Oct., 31 st 1517), at 1:51 pm local time.

This earthquake has shaken at least the following

1. Magnitude 7 Earthquake & Seven Churches: Obviously, the seven churches in the book of Revelation in the past have become ruins, but it does not mean that the churches are dead. On the contrary, these churches will be greatly restored at the end of the day. Today Izmir is the third largest city in Turkey, but it is also the most fascinating place. I am convinced that everything that old John saw on the exiled island of Patmos, we will see the fall of Babylon the Great, which is the end of the “Coming out of her” described in ( Revelation 18:2 ); we shall also see Another “religious reform” of the church, the most obvious change in 2020 is that almost everyone agrees that the rules of the game have completely changed. “What was in the past, will be the same in the future. The church must become a new wineskin in order to receive new wine. Today’s churches will start out again, in such a powerful way that they can overcome the oppression of the Roman Empire, they will not abandon the Lord, instead, they will prosper and be holy and having favor with God and man!
2. The Epitome of Zechariah 9:13 Appears: Just as the local news in Athens, Greece and Istanbul, Turkey had the tsunami after the earthquake, I believe this is another opening of God in 2020: God will raise up His people and armies, just like the dry bones in Ezekiel 37 that have been dry for a long time are about to come alive. More importantly the breath of life must be blown into this body connected together. The body of Jesus Christ must be transformed, and it will no longer be independent The closure of many meeting places around the world this year is a key step in God’s purification and preparation of the church, so that all churches can realign with the Lord, no longer divided by their territories, but reunite with the head of the church, Christ. All pastors are My pastors, and all sheep are entrusted by God. The definition of the church should return to the early church, and there will be no sectarian/theological standpoint/language/subculture/membership barriers, the Holy Spirit will blow from all directions, all churches are My church, and we must rise to become the sons of Zion, rise up against the sons of Greece, no longer compromise or retreat, and re-present ourselves, the people’s land to prepare for the second coming of Jesus, on the earth as it is in heaven, and rule the kingdom of God with the Lord.
3. Pray for Turkey with Urgency: Since the Arab Spring in 2010, the Middle East has experienced great turbulence, and then in 2013 ISIS (Islamic State) controlled the land of Syria in a very short time, and in 2014 it occupied Mosul (the former city of Nineveh), claiming to be For the Caliph, he has become the hegemon of global Islam. Many “Islamic jihadists” joined from various countries, causing global panic. It was not until 2019 that their leader, Abu Bakr al Baghdadi, was eradicated by President Trump’s order and finally disappeared. Then it was Turkey rush to be the spokesperson of the Muslim world, Turkey vigorously opposed the Kurdish referendum to establish an independent nation in 2017, although they were the only army that countered ISIS, and even ignored the warnings of the United States. After the withdrawal, the Kurds were bombarded in October 2019. In addition, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan restored the Sophia Museum in Istanbul in July 2020 to become a mosque for worship. Encouraging Muslims around the world to go on pilgrimage, we also saw that between October and November 2020, Turkey was intensively involved in the wars in Azerbaijan (Islamic background) and Armenia (Orthodox background), and helped Azerbaijan Retaken the second big city, ceasefire in November this year, quite a hero behind the scenes!It seems that Turkey has the taste of leading the Islamic world to conquer the Christian people. In fact, all these clues in recent days represent Turkey’s obvious intention to restore the past Ottoman Empire ( 1299-1923). The Ottoman Empire is a multi-ethnic empire established by the Turks. Mohammed II was the capital of Istanbul (in history, they overthrew and occupied the Christian base camp and established a specific example of an Islamic state), especially Turkey in a world Not long after the outbreak of the war, he united with Germany in 1914. On the one hand, Germany helped the weakening Ottoman army, and on the other hand, Turkey also helped Germany to control the United Kingdom. Turkey is so eager to make the attempt I believe this earthquake is also a wake-up call for prayers for Turkey!
4. The Door of Heaven has opened Here!“I tell you the truth, you will see the heavens open, and the angels of God will go up and down on the Son of Man.” John 1:51The earthquake occurred at 1:51 local time, the door of heaven has opened here! Pastor Ed Watts was deeply touched, God said to him: This year’s Hanukkah, God is about to send His angels ascending and descending in the body of Christ, because Hanukkah is to restore the temple to make us like Christ to become the light of the world. Time is running out, because God’s return is near! The earthquake that occurred on Patmos Island this year in 2020 also means that heaven has opened here! The church of God will no longer be the same, and the Antichrist will no longer hide in darkness, The days of head-on collision between the kingdom of darkness and light will continue to appear before our eyes and in the headlines!

Signs of Hanukkah in The Last Days: Seven Years of Preparation

The United States will experience two total solar eclipses in 2017 and 2024 respectively. Here are three reminders:

1. The total solar eclipse of 2017 reminded us to align with Israel. This wonderful total solar eclipse passed over or near seven cities called Salem (that is, Salem, short for Jerusalem). It seems to be saying that God is going to do great things in Jerusalem. Sure enough, this year we saw Jerusalem officially recognized by the United States and several countries as the capital of Israel. In addition, many countries that hated Israel in the past (United Grand Duchy, Bahrain and Sudan) have also abandoned their previous resentment, recognized each other and established friendly diplomatic and commercial relations! It is indeed amazing, and now in retrospect, the total solar eclipse has indeed changed the world. For the status of Jerusalem!
2. In 2024, the United States will experience a total solar eclipse again. I believe that this time it is God who wants to do great things to the world through the United States. The next time will happens the day before Nisan. This reminds us of the story and details of the Exodus. Nisan is the first month. The Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron: “This month is to be for you the first month, the first month of your year.” (Exodus 12:2) This is unprecedented, and it means that no matter what your day or situation is, God is going to do great things, and this month is the first month, we also think of God’s solemn declaration and covenant to Abraham. The Lord said to Abram: “Then the Lord said to him, “Know for certain that for four hundred years your descendants will be strangers in a country not their own and that they will be enslaved and mistreated there.  But I will punish the nation they serve as slaves, and afterward they will come out with great possessions. (Genesis 15:13-14)

We also remember that God used ten plagues Judging the entire land of Egypt, the last two plagues were the darkness (total solar eclipse) and the death angel killing the first born. “The blood will be a sign for you on the houses where you are, and when I see the blood, I will pass over you. No destructive plague will touch you when I strike Egypt. “(Exodus 12:13) What sign is that? It is the sign of the covenant. Amazingly, it is the last letter of Hebrew Tav, which means covenant. The shape of this letter is like a cross, and it also represents the number 400 (see the picture above). Isn’t this God speaking to the United States? Last year, 2019 was the four hundred anniversary of slaves sold to America from Africa. This year marks the 400th anniversary of the Mayflower’s landing in Plymouth, Massachusetts. What is even more puzzling is that these two total solar eclipses seem to be like a god on the map of the United States, and the intersection of the routes of the two total solar eclipses is the southern part of Illinois, “Little Egypt ” (it is named this since 1799), is this coincidence? Why is it called Little Egypt, because apart from its geographical location, it happens to have the Mississippi and Ohio Rivers where they meet like the Nile. The fertile area of ​​the Delta. At the same time, when there was a shortage of food in northern Illinois in 1830, he went to the southern part of the state to buy food, just as Jacob sent his son south to Egypt to buy food. So here is not only Little Egypt, but also Cairo at the southern tip, a Mississippi state to the south, and the famous Egyptian city Memphis is also on the Mississippi River!

All these coincidences are by no means groundless, because in the book of Exodus, there were seven years of abundance and famine. From 2017 to 2024 is exactly seven years, as if God is speaking to America. In the next three and a half years, the remnant of God must be well prepared, because God will do great things in the United States to execute judgments, and all those with God’s mark will be protected by God ( Ezekiel 9:4 ). What happens in the U.S. will affect the whole world, because we are not only praying for who will be the president for the next four years, but we are also concerned about whether the justices we have just appointed can keep us in check for the next 40 years. The future of a generation; more importantly, we ask the Lord to do a lot of work so that we can see that God will bring up a global revival in America. Because 400 years have passed, God has already made a mark in the land of the United States, and revival will happen from then on. The whole world must be surprised by what God has done in the United States and fear God. Because only God can accomplish this wonderful and awesome miracle, we really need to be vigilant and become the Maccabees of the last days, even a few, but they will be the remnants who will turn the generations to welcome the return of Jesus!

Conclusion: Take Jesus’ Heart as Your Heart

In the New Testament, the one and only most important place about Hanukkah is John 10:22-23 : There is the Feast of Dedication in Jerusalem, which is winter. Jesus walked under Solomon’s porch in the temple.

Jesus only said what the Father wanted Him to say and did what the Father wanted Him to do. Jesus was walking in the temple during the Dedication Festival. What might He be thinking?

I think Jesus might be thinking of the Maccabees more than a hundred years ago, angered for God’s temple being slandered, and even sacrificing His life in order to restore the sanctity and status of God’s temple again! This reminds me of the time in the Bible that Jesus was furious. So he made a whip out of cords, and drove all from the temple courts, both sheep and cattle; he scattered the coins of the money changers and overturned their tables.  To those who sold doves he said, “Get these out of here! Stop turning my Father’s house into a market!” His disciples remembered that it is written: “Zeal for your house will consume me.” John 2:15- 17

When Jesus saw these religious leaders colluding with the greedy money changer and robbing the people who came from afar to worship God, he couldn’t help but feel angry, like a fire. Isn’t it just like the Maccabee family? The temple became a den of thieves! Therefore, a sacred revolution was resolutely raised, in order to restore the temple and let the temple have light again. Now is the time for us to know that we are the temple of the Holy Spirit, we are all like Jesus, to be the light of the world! Are you moved by this?

I would like to conclude with the prophetic revelation of Pastor Ed Watts.

In 2020 this year, everyone in the world seems to have awakened and witnessed our present situation with their own eyes, as described by John 20:20: After he said this, he showed them his hands and side. The disciples were overjoyed when they saw the Lord. What about the year 2021? John 20:21: Again Jesus said, “Peace be with you! As the Father has sent me, I am sending you.

We will all be like Jesus, however the Father sent Him, now we will also be sent to the world by the Lord Jesus. Maybe we are like sheep entering the den of wolves (isn’t that the current situation). In addition, we must keep in mind that the Lord promises that we can do greater works than He!

Dear saints, even though we are the remnants, God has given His kingdom to our small group, let us participate in the sacred revolution of the last days! Amen!

Note 1 :   Herod the Great was actually an extremely great and excellent architect. During his reign, he built many superb buildings and facilities for the Jews, and one of the things that made him famous is that he rebuilt the Jerusalem Temple. From 972 BC to 932 BC, when the Jewish King Solomon was reigning, he built the first huge synagogue on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem, which was called the first temple in history. The First Temple is of extraordinary significance to Jerusalem. Because of its completion, Jerusalem has since become the first holy place in the minds of the Jews, and this historical period is also called the “First Temple Period.”

In 586 BC, King Nebuchadnezzar II of Babylon led an army to conquer Jerusalem in one fell swoop. Of course, the first temple as an iconic building was doomed to escape. It was torched and completely disappeared in the raging fire. Not only that, a large number of Jews were forcibly taken into Babylon like livestock, and were miserably reduced to slavery for centuries.

Because of this, the significance of the rebuilding of the temple by Herod the Great is extraordinary. Its completion has once again become a spiritual pillar for the gathering of the Jews, allowing the return of the Jews’ souls that have been wandering for centuries. It is said that the newly built sanctuary covers an area of 35 acres, exquisitely gorgeous and breathtaking, even more splendid and magnificent than King Solomon’s first temple. This rebuilt temple was named the “Second Temple”, and the reign of King Herod the Great was therefore called the “Second Temple Period”.

In addition to the Second Temple, Herod the Great has many architectural achievements worthy of praise. In today’s Israel, there are at least 21 buildings related to Herod the Great, of which 6 are still shining and become the best places to attract a large number of tourists. They include: in Caesar for the purpose of providing drinking water The huge Aqueduct System (Aqueduct System) built in the port of Leah ; the Winter Palace in Jerusalem; and Masada Fort, built in the western part of the Dead Sea . In 73 AD , 960 Jews came here to refuse to surrender to the Romans. Collective suicide here; the reconstructed city of Samaria, now known as the city ​​of Sebaste ; the only remaining western wall of the second temple on the Temple Mount, which is 52 meters long and 19 high Mi’s Great Wall is today called the “Wailing Wall”; the last is the Great Herodium Palace named after him. This was his last burial place and was the third largest palace in the Roman Empire.  https://www.hoc5.info/letsfollowjesus/main/daily/articles/02/0202-L1-who-is-Herod.html

Note 2: The Hagia Sophia Museum was one of the most important Orthodox church, built in AD 6 century by the Byzantine Empire ( Byzantine ) Emperor Justinian I ( Justinian the I ) ordered the construction in the capital, Constantinople ( Constantinople )

Pray for United States: Dutch Sheet: An Explosive Revelation is Coming!

Editor’s note: This article is an excerpt from the 12/12 prayer of “Give Him 15 Minutes” from Dutch Sheets, the intercession leader. “I invite you to join me every day and pray for our country until the election crisis is resolved. I will read the daily “Give Him 15 Minutes”, comment, and then we will pray together. When we “petition to heaven” for the United States, you can join us here.

【Current Event: More and more is coming to the surface regarding Chinese involvement in our nation. They are, without doubt, the greatest threat to America and the world. Their goal: world domination. America has been in bed with them financially, and they now have influence over many in our government. A Biden White House would all but hand them the worldwide dominance they seek.

Many, myself included, believe they are VERY involved in our election fraud. Many also believe that numerous U.S. government leaders, including Republicans, don’t want Donald Trump in office because it could jeopardize the millions of dollars they have invested in – or stand to make as a result of – their dealings with China. No doubt, a lot of people in our government will lose much if China’s involvement is exposed.

In the summer of 2020, two of our friends, Gina Gholston and Clay Nash, had significant dreams regarding China. I’ll deal with Clay’s today and Gina’s tomorrow. Clay’s dream was one of the Allegheny River dreams the Lord used to get me and others to Pennsylvania:

“I dreamed that President Donald John the Beloved Trump, the morning of June 24, 2020, had a press conference to ask for intercession regarding a trip he was taking to the headwaters of the Allegheny River. The day he made this trip, the praying church was lined on both banks to pray. Standing behind the praying church was the cloud of witnesses adding their agreement to the declarations & decrees of the praying church.

“As President Trump traveled upstream in an open boat, Asian carp were jumping up from the river seeking to hit and harm him. As each carp broke the water the body of faithful intercessors would declare & decree, and the fish were hit with flashes of bright light and slammed back beneath the surface.

“Once President Trump reached the headwaters, he began to decree about America completing its course and finishing well.”

The Lord clearly showed us that the “headwaters” (beginning) of the Allegheny, located in Pennsylvania (America’s birthplace), symbolized the birth and original purposes of God for America. That is why President Trump decreed regarding those purposes when he finally arrived at the headwaters.

But what about the “Asian carp”? Obviously, they were in opposition to America being restored to/reconnecting with our purpose and destiny. But why “Asian”? I always felt that they represented China and the interference was associated with the coming election. Now I am certain. The connection between the voting machines and China has been clearly proven. I believe in time it will be revealed that they played a major role in the election fraud. I feel an explosive revelation is coming which will shock our nation. I also believe if we pray, we can be part of causing this exposure. In the dream, as the Ekklesia made declarations, flashes of light slammed the carp back into the river and the President made it to his destination.

Let’s believe the dream! Let’s believe the prophet and prosper. Let’s bind the influence of “principalities”, “world forces of darkness,” and “spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places” involved in this struggle. (Ephesians 6:12) Let’s close the door to their activity, and open the door to exposure. (Isaiah 22:22) We can do this!
