The Ark of Deliverance

Part 1

38 For just as in those days before the flood they were eating and drinking,

men marrying and women being given in marriage, until the very day when Noah went into the ark,

39 And they did not know or understand until the flood came and swept them all away

--so will be the coming of the Son of Man.

What if you have come to such a time as this… Queen Ester, had become queen in the place of Queen Vasti, but did not reveal her real identity to King Ahasuerus. In

above all the princes who were with him. (Ester 3:1) Haman hated the Jewish people and wanted to annihilate them,

These things are a prophetic shadow picture for this generation, with queen Ester resembling the bride of Yeshua –

Jesus Christ. Mordecai represents the Jewish people and Haman is a type of the coming Anti-Christ.

When Mordecai found out that the Jewish people were about to be destroyed, he went to queen Ester with these

words: “Do not flatter yourself that you shall escape in the king's palace any more than all the other Jews. 14 For if you

keep silent at this time, relief and deliverance shall arise for the Jews from elsewhere, but you and your father's house

will perish. And who knows but that you have come to the kingdom for such a time as this and for this very occasion?”

(Ester 4:13b-14) Ampl

Queen Ester had to make a life and death decision and said to Mordecai: 16 Go, gather together all the Jews that are

present in Shushan, and fast for me; and neither eat nor drink for three days, night or day. I also and my maids will fast

as you do. Then I will go to the king, though it is against the law; and if I perish, I perish. (Ester 4:16) Ampl

These things were written not only for the Jews as a memorial, but also for us, the bride, who also must now also fast

and pray, humbling ourselves before God for three days, before we too would have to go in before the King to give an

account of all that we have done in this life time…

Jesus once said, when warned that the leaders and religious people were very angry, because He was preaching that the

kingdom of God was near, sending back this message to those who tried to discourage Him, saying: 32b Go and tell that

fox sly and crafty, skulking and cowardly, Behold, I drive out demons and perform healings today and tomorrow, and on

the third day I finish and complete My course. 33 Nevertheless, I must continue on My way today and tomorrow and

the day after that--for it will never do for a prophet to be destroyed away from Jerusalem! 34 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem,

you who continue to kill the prophets and to stone those who are sent to you! How often I have desired and yearned to

gather your children together around Me, as a hen gathers her young under her wings, but you would not! 35 Behold,

your house is forsaken, abandoned, left to you destitute of God's help! And I tell you, you will not see Me again until the

time comes when you shall say, Blessed to be celebrated with praises is He Who comes in the name of the Lord! (Luke

13:32-35) Ampl

The Day of the Lord is Coming God had been preparing His elect for His coming since the year 2000. Many had falsely expected that Y2K would cause

the world to come to a complete standstill, but it did not come to pass. Many have expected the coming of the Lord

Jesus Christ was imminent, but He did not come. Many became despondent and have been excused of being false

prophets. But God had delayed His coming, so that all might be saved, for: 9 The Lord does not delay and is not tardy or

slow about what He promises, according to some people's conception of slowness, but He is long-suffering,

extraordinarily patient toward you, not desiring that any should perish, but that all should turn to repentance. 10 But

the day of the Lord will come like a thief, and then the heavens will vanish, pass away with a thunderous crash, and the

material elements of the universe will be dissolved with fire, and the earth and the works that are upon it will be burned

up. (2Pet 3:9-10) Ampl

Jesus also told us parable to explain the test that the hearts of men would have to face in the last days before He is

revealed in the Heavens, saying: 33 Listen to another parable: There was a master of a house who planted a vineyard

and put a hedge around it and dug a wine vat in it and built a watchtower. Then he let it out for rent to tenants and

went into another country. (Matt 21:33) Ampl For the last 2000 thousand years the master – Yeshua our Messiah, has

rented us a vineyard to tend. This vineyard does not belong to us, but to the master. We were given stewardship and

were entrusted with the goods of the master, but…

Jesus tells us another parable to describe the way that the hearts of men would become in the last days, saying: 14 For it

is like a man who was about to take a long journey, and he called his servants together and entrusted them with his

property. (Matt 25:14) Ampl

God will delay His coming to test the hearts of men, just he did in the time of Moses, when the people became tired of

waiting and then became disobedient to God’s commands, becoming wayed down with dissipation, falling into

carousing and wickedness.

God led the Israelites into the desert to see what was in their hearts. In this last hour God is preparing a spotless bride

for Himself. Jesus told us the way that men would become, while waiting for the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ, saying:

43 But understand this: had the householder known in what part of the night, whether in a night or a morning watch

the thief was coming, he would have watched and would not have allowed his house to be undermined and broken into.

44 You also must be ready therefore, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour when you do not expect Him. 45 Who

then is the faithful, thoughtful, and wise servant, whom his master has put in charge of his household to give to the

others the food and supplies at the proper time? 46 Blessed, happy, fortunate, and to be envied is that servant whom,

when his master comes, he will find so doing. 47 I solemnly declare to you, he will set him over all his possessions.

(Matt 24:48-51) Ampl

Then Jesus explains how God will reveal the true motive of the heart, which lie hidden in men’s hearts, explaining how

brothers, and fellow servants will start to react towards one another, saying: 48 But if that servant is wicked and says to

himself, My master is delayed and is going to be gone a long time, 49 And begins to beat his fellow servants and to

eat and drink with the drunken, 50 The master of that servant will come on a day when he does not expect him and

at an hour of which he is not aware, 51 And will punish him, cut him up by scourging and put him with the pretenders

or hypocrites; there will be weeping and grinding of teeth. (Matt 24:48-51) Ampl

In this last hour God is going to test the hearts of His own, for as the scriptures says: 17 For the time has arrived for

judgment to begin with the household of God; and if it begins with us, what will be the end of those who do not

respect or believe or obey the good news, the Gospel of God? 18 And if the righteous are barely saved, what will

become of the godless and wicked? [Prov. 11:31.] (1Pet 4:17-18) Ampl

Even by the mouth of the apostle Peter we have been forewarned, saying: 2 That you should recall the predictions of

the holy consecrated, dedicated prophets and the commandment of the Lord and Savior given through your apostles,

His special messengers. 3 To begin with, you must know and understand this, that scoffers or mockers will come in the

last days with scoffing, people who walk after their own fleshly desires. 4 And say, Where is the promise of His coming?

For since the forefathers fell asleep, all things have continued exactly as they did from the beginning of creation. 5 For

they willfully overlook and forget this fact, that the heavens came into existence long ago by the word of God, and the

earth also which was formed out of water and by means of water, 6 Through which the world that then existed was

deluged with water and perished. 7 But by the same word the present heavens and earth have been stored up

reserved for fire, being kept until the day of judgment and destruction of the ungodly people. 8 Nevertheless, do not

let this one fact escape you, beloved, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years and a thousand years as one

day. [Ps. 90:4.] (2 Pet 3:2-8) Ampl

On the 12th

of May 2001, God, through great signs and wonders started

confirming that for which He had called us and the plan He has for Southern

Africa. While two of us were watching, the Spirit of the Lord, through signs in the

heavens, showed us the last missionary journey we would complete before the

end comes, giving us this word, saying: 37 And they all wept freely and threw their

arms around Paul's neck and kissed him fervently and repeatedly, 38 Being

especially distressed and sorrowful because he had stated that they were about

to see his face no more. And they accompanied him to the ship.

On that day God made a powerful sign in the heavens, indicating how He would

make a way through the sea and a path through the mighty waters of the Atlantic

Ocean, with this scripture, saying: 16 Thus says the Lord, Who makes a way

through the sea and a path through the mighty waters, 17 Who brings forth

chariot and horse, army and mighty warrior. (Isa 43:16-17) Ampl

The Ark of Deliverance of God… God had predetermined that this generation would be the generation who would see all things come to pass, just as all

the apostles and prophets have prophesied would happen and as Jesus said: 32 Fill up, then, the measure of your

fathers' sins to the brim so that nothing may be wanting to a full measure. 33 You serpents! You spawn of vipers! How

can you escape the penalty to be suffered in hell or Gehenna? 34 Because of this, take notice: I am sending you

prophets and wise men, interpreters, teachers and scribes, men learned in the Mosaic Law and the Prophets; some of

them you will kill, even crucify, and some you will flog in your synagogues and pursue and persecute from town to town,

35 So that upon your heads may come all the blood of the righteous, those who correspond to the divine standard of

right, shed on earth, from the blood of the righteous Abel to the blood of Zechariah son of Barachiah, whom you

murdered between the sanctuary and the altar of burnt offering. 36 Truly I declare to you, all these evil, calamitous

times will come upon this generation. (Matt 23:32-36) Ampl

Then Jesus later continued, saying: 34 Truly I tell you, this generation, the whole multitude of people living at the same

time, in a definite, given period will not pass away till all these things taken together take place. 35 Sky and earth will

pass away, but My words will not pass away. 36 But of that exact day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of

heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. 37 As were the days of Noah, so will be the coming of the Son of Man. 38 For

just as in those days before the flood they were eating and drinking, men marrying and women being given in marriage,

until the very day when Noah went into the ark, 39 And they did not know or understand until the flood came and

swept them all away--so will be the coming of the Son of Man.

40 At that time two men will be in the field; one will be taken and one will be left. 41 Two women will be grinding at

the hand mill; one will be taken and one will be left. 42 Watch therefore, give strict attention, be cautious and active,

for you do not know in what kind of a day, whether a near or remote one your Lord is coming. (Matt 24:34-42) Ampl

Jesus explains to us that the generation who sees these things come to pass will see all come to pass right up to the

coming of Jesus Christ. God has always given ‘a way out’ to His people. To Noah’s generation God gave Noah a plan to

build an ark, so as to save himself and all those who believed his message. The Scriptures says: 7 Prompted by faith

Noah, being forewarned by God concerning events of which as yet there was no visible sign, took heed and diligently

and reverently constructed and prepared an ark for the deliverance of his own family. By this his faith, which relied on

God he passed judgment and sentence on the world's unbelief and became an heir and possessor of righteousness that

relation of being right into which God puts the person who has faith. (Heb 11:7-8) Ampl Noah did not back down under

ridicule and persecution for the sake of the word, which he had received from God, but in obedience and in reverence

and fear started building and ark high up on a mountain, which made no sense to those who did not know God. God

gave Noah the plan to build a ship, which would be able to stand the test of the fire it was about to face. Using the very

dimensions, which God had given him, he in obedience started building and completing what seemed a most impossible

mission, for the scriptures says this about this righteous man: 20 The souls of those who long before in the days of

Noah had been disobedient, when God's patience waited during the building of the ark in which a few people, actually

eight in number, were saved through water. (1Pet 3:20) Ampl God was waiting patiently, while Noah, in obedience, was

building the ark. According to estimated calculations, Noah started building when he was about 500 years old. At that

time, without Noah’s knowledge, a catastrophic event was about to occur on the earth. He did not have all the detail,

but being a prophet, warned the people of his time for a period of about 100 years.

Just at the right time, as Jesus said: ‘until the very day when Noah went into the ark’, for God knew the very day when

Noah would complete the work, to which God had called him. So it will be with this generation.

Just like in the time of Noah, God had once more given His chosen people another plan to build another vehicle, so that

He could save them from that which is coming, which they know nothing about. All we do know is what all the prophets

and apostles have foretold us, just as the prophet Malachi says: 5 Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet, before the

great and terrible day of the Lord comes. 6 And he shall turn and reconcile the hearts of the estranged fathers to the

ungodly children, and the hearts of the rebellious children to the piety of their fathers, a reconciliation produced by

repentance of the ungodly, lest I come and smite the land with a curse and a ban of utter destruction. (Mal 4:5-6) Ampl

God is about to strike the earth with a terrible curse and a ban of utter destruction, but no one is aware of what is

coming. Not even Noah knew the time when the flood would come, only God. Yet Noah was God’s witness and a sign to

that generation.

I will send you Elijah… On the 27

th of April 2002, after a 40 day fast, at the Union Buildings in Pretoria,

expecting to see the out pouring of the Spirit of God, just like He was poured

out on the day of Pentecost, we waited to see how God would fulfill His

prophetic word to us. While we prayed and interceded on that day, about 3000

people at this meeting, suddenly a powerful prophetic sign of things to come,

appeared to two of us as a witness. While we looked we saw a chariot and two

horses coming out of heaven, coming towards us in South Africa. Sitting in the

Chariot we saw the prophet Elijah. Mounted on the front of the chariot was a

semi-automatic weapon, having a telescope mounted on the semi-automatic

weapon. Then, while we watched we saw how one of Elijah’s eyes started

focusing intently, looking through the semi-automatic weapon, aiming to

accurately hit his target.

God has always forewarned His people, sending them prophets, as the prophet

Hosea prophesied: 10 I have also spoken to you by the prophets, and I have

multiplied visions for you and have appealed to you through parables acted

out by the prophets. (Hos 12:10) Ampl

Then he continued saying: “And by a prophet the Lord brought Israel out of Egypt, and by a prophet was Israel

preserved“. (Hos 12:13) Ampl God has always send wise men and scribes and prophets to warn His people before great

calamity was about to strike. They are sent like delivers to give vision and direction of all that are about to come to pass

and to so that all may be saved who have believed God’s word to them. Unfortunately, even Moses was rejected by His

own people, when he attempted to let his people know what God’s plan was for them, as the martyr Phillip explained

to the Sanhedrin, saying: 27 Whereupon the man who was abusing his neighbor pushed Moses aside, saying, Who

appointed you a ruler or umpire and a judge over us? (Act 7:27) Ampl

And 35 It was this very Moses whom they had denied and disowned and rejected, saying, Who made you our ruler,

referee and judge? Whom God sent to be a ruler and deliverer and redeemer, by and with the protecting and helping

hand of the Angel that appeared to him in the bramblebush. 36 He it was who led them forth, having worked wonders

and signs in Egypt and at the Red Sea and during the forty years in the wilderness desert. (Act 7:35-36) Ampl

God is once more preparing a type of the ark for this generation, saying: “Who makes a way through the sea and a path

through the mighty waters, 17 Who brings forth chariot and horse, army and mighty warrior.”

Thus as the prophet Isaiah prophesied: 27 Behold, the Name of the Lord comes from afar, burning with His anger, and

in thick, rising smoke. His lips are full of indignation, and His tongue is like a consuming fire. 28 And His breath is like

an overflowing stream that reaches even to the neck, to sift the nations with the sieve of destruction; and a bridle that

causes them to err will be in the jaws of the people.

29 You shall have a song as in the night when a holy feast is kept, and gladness of heart as when one marches in

procession with a flute to go to the temple on the mountain of the Lord, to the Rock of Israel. 30 And the Lord shall

cause His glorious voice to be heard and the descending blow of His arm to be seen, coming down with indignant

anger and with the flame of a devouring fire, amid crashing blast and cloudburst, tempest, and hailstones. 31 At the

voice of the Lord the Assyrians will be stricken with dismay and terror, when He smites them with His rod. 32 And

every passing stroke of the staff of punishment and doom which the Lord lays upon them shall be to the sound of

Israel's timbrels and lyres, when in battle He attacks Assyria with swinging and menacing arms. 33 For Topheth a place

of burning and abomination has already been laid out and long ago prepared; yes, for the Assyrian king and the god

Molech it has been made ready, its pyre made deep and large, with fire and much wood; the breath of the Lord, like a

stream of brimstone, kindles it. (Isa 30:27-33) Ampl God is about to strike the Assyrian king coming up out of the east

against Israel.

What then does the prophet refer too when he says: “8 Who are these who fly like a cloud, and like doves to their

windows? 9 Surely the isles and distant coastlands shall wait for and expect Me; and the ships of Tarshish shall come

first, to bring your sons from afar, their silver and gold with them, for the name of the Lord your God, for the Holy One

of Israel, because He has beautified and glorified you. 10 Foreigners shall build up your walls, and their kings shall

minister to you; for in My wrath I smote you, but in My favor, pleasure, and goodwill I have had mercy, love, and pity for

you. (Isa 60:8-10) Ampl

Behold I will do a new thing… Jesus once said to His own disciples: “O foolish ones, sluggish in mind, dull of perception and slow of heart to believe,

adhere to and trust in and rely on everything that the prophets have spoken! Right infront of their very eyes the

scriptures was fulfilled, but they still did not recognize all that God was doing in their generation.

Even the prophet Habakkuk said this about this generation: “Look around you, replied the Lord among the nations and

see! And be astonished! Astounded! For I am putting into effect a work in your days such that you would not believe it

if it were told you. (Hab 1:5) Ampl

But with generation it will be like it was in the time of Jesus, when they said to him: 55 Is not this the carpenter's Son? Is

not His mother called Mary? And are not His brothers James and Joseph and Simon and Judas? 56 And do not all His

sisters live here among us? Where then did this Man get all this? 57 And they took offense at Him, they were repelled

and hindered from acknowledging His authority, and caused to stumble. But Jesus said to them: “A prophet is not

without honor except in his own country and in his own house.” (Matt 13:55-57) Ampl

On the 12th

of May 2001, God confirmed His word, saying: 19 Behold, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs forth; do

you not perceive and know it and will you not give heed to it? I will even make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the

desert. 20 The beasts of the field honor Me, the jackals and the ostriches, because I give waters in the wilderness and

rivers in the desert, to give drink to My people, My chosen, 21 The people I formed for Myself, that they may set forth

My praise and they shall do it. (Isa 43:19-21) Ampl God is looking for a willing and obedient generation, who will do what

He requires from them. He knows the times, which He has set for man, and therefore in His mercy, He forewarns and

prepares His people so that they may be delivered from all the evil that they, like Noah, at this time cannot see.

For it was revealed to the prophet Daniel, by the Angel Gabriel, saying: 1 AND AT that time of the end Michael shall

arise, the great angelic prince who defends and has charge of your, Daniel's people. And there shall be a time of

trouble, straitness, and distress such as never was since there was a nation till that time. But at that time your people

shall be delivered, everyone whose name shall be found written in the Book of God's plan for His own. 2 And many of

those who sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake: some to everlasting life and some to shame and everlasting

contempt and abhorrence. 3 And the teachers and those who are wise shall shine like the brightness of the firmament,

and those who turn many to righteousness, to uprightness and right standing with God shall give forth light like the

stars forever and ever. (Dan 12:1-3) Ampl God is once more going to deliver His people, those who will lead many to

righteousness.

God will deliver His people… The question now remains, how will God deliver His people this time? Jesus said at that time of the end: “we must not

be surprised and wonder at this, for the time is coming when all those who are in the tombs shall hear His voice, 29 And

they shall come out--those who have practiced doing good will come out to the resurrection of new life, and those who

have done evil will be raised for judgment, raised to meet their sentence. (John 5:28-29) Ampl

Did not even the prophet Isaiah prophecy about this day, saying about a righteous nation: 2 Open the gates, that the

uncompromisingly righteous nation which keeps her faith and her troth with God may enter in. 3 You will guard him

and keep him in perfect and constant peace whose mind, both its inclination and its character, is stayed on You,

Then Isaiah says: 17 As a woman with child drawing near the time of her delivery is in pain and writhes and cries out in

her pangs, so we have been before You at Your presence, O Lord. 18 We have been with child, we have been writhing

and in pain; we have, as it were, brought forth only wind. We have not wrought any deliverance in the earth, and the

inhabitants of the world of Israel have not yet been born. 19 Your dead shall live O Lord; the bodies of our dead saints

shall rise. You who dwell in the dust, awake and sing for joy! For Your dew O Lord is a dew of sparkling light, heavenly,

supernatural dew; and the earth shall cast forth the dead to life again; for on the land of the shades of the dead You

will let Your dew fall. God says like a women in who has been in false labor or birth pains for a long time, God will allow

them to reach the point of birth, giving birth to a male child, that will rule the nations with a rod of iron, as the apostle

John saw in a sign: 1 AND A great sign or wonder--warning of future events of ominous significance, appeared in heaven:

a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and with a crown like garland or tiara of twelve stars on

her head. 2 She was pregnant and she cried out in her birth pangs, in the anguish of her delivery. 3 Then another

ominous sign or wonder was seen in heaven: “Behold, a huge, fiery-red dragon, with seven heads and ten horns, and

seven kingly crowns or diadems upon his heads. 4 His tail swept across the sky and dragged down a third of the stars and

flung them to the earth. And the dragon stationed himself in front of the woman who was about to be delivered, so

that he might devour her child as soon as she brought it forth. 5 And she brought forth a male Child, One Who is

destined to shepherd and rule all the nations with an iron staff or scepter, and her Child was caught up to God and to

His throne. 6 And the woman herself fled into the desert or wilderness, where she has a retreat prepared for her by

God, in which she is to be fed and kept safe for 1,260 days, 42 months; three and one-half years. (Rev 12:1-6) Ampl Both

the child and the women was supernaturally preserved by God. First the male child, who was brought forth, after much

hard labour and shaping into the image of Christ, as Paul said: “My little children, for whom I am again suffering birth

pangs until Christ is completely and permanently formed molded within you,” (Gal 4:19) Ampl

Second, the prophet Isaiah prophecy of the supernatural deliverance that God will wrought in the earth at that time,

saying: “20 Come, my people, enter your chambers and shut your doors behind you; hide yourselves for a little while

until the Lord's wrath is past. 21 For behold, the Lord is coming out of His place or heaven to punish the inhabitants of

the earth for their iniquity; the earth also will disclose the bloodshed upon her and will no longer cover her slain and

conceal her guilt. (Isa 26:17-21) Ampl Both those who are caught up and those who remain will be protected by God.

But many will say: “But this child refers to the ascension of Christ, when Jesus was taken up into heaven.” It is true that

Yeshua – Jesus Christ, is the one who was given all authority, as was prophesied about Him, saying: 6 Yet have I

anointed, installed and placed My King firmly on My holy hill of Zion. 7 I will declare the decree of the Lord: He said to

Me, You are My Son; this day I declare I have begotten You. 8 Ask of Me, and I will give You the nations as Your

inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth as Your possession. 9 You shall break them with a rod of iron; You

shall dash them in pieces like potters' ware. (Psa 2:6-9) Ampl

Yet there remain a reward, for all who faithfully and with a pure heart, without offence and grumbling, will keep serving

their Master to the very day when Jesus Christ comes, to deliver His chosen people, the elect, as Yeshua said, 25 Only

hold fast to what you have until I come. 26 And he who overcomes and is victorious and who obeys My commands to

the very end, doing the works that please Me, I will give him authority and power over the nations; 27 And he shall

rule them with a sceptre or rod of iron, as when earthen pots are broken in pieces, and his power over them shall be

like that which I Myself have received from My Father; [Ps. 2:8, 9.] 28 And I will give him the Morning Star. 29 He who is

able to hear, let him listen to and heed what the Holy Spirit says to the assemblies or churches. (Rev 2:25-29) Ampl Thus

the earth is in eager expectation for the true sons of God to be revealed on that great day, when they will suddenly be

sifted out from among the wicked, and be caught up to God’s throne.

Those who are caught up will rule and reign with Him, but those who remain behind will still be refined and purified until

the full number of them has come in. Those in heaven, will receive that, which have been prepared for them in heaven,

by God, as Jesus said: 1 DO NOT let your hearts be troubled or distressed, agitated. You believe in and adhere to and

trust in and rely on God; believe in and adhere to and trust in and rely also on Me. 2 In My Father's house there are

many dwelling places, mansions or homes. If it were not so, I would have told you; for I am going away to prepare a

place for you. 3 And when I go and make ready a place for you, I will come back again and will take you to Myself, that

where I am you may be also. (John 14:1-3) Ampl Yeshua has gone to prepare a place for His own, that they may be with

Him in heaven also, just as He is in heaven.

Those who remain, as the scripture says: 40 At that time two men will be in the field; one will be taken and one will be

left. 41 Two women will be grinding at the hand mill; one will be taken and one will be left. 42 Watch therefore, give

strict attention, be cautious and active, for you do not know in what kind of a day, whether a near or remote one your

Lord is coming. (Matt 24:40-42) Ampl

At that time, God will allow the Jewish people, who in ignorance, have rejected and killed Yeshua, to flee to a city of

refuge, for they are guilty of man slaughter. Then she will flee to the city of Petra, for refuge from the great and terrible

wrath of God that will be unleashed on the earth. Then she will hide in her chambers, which were also prepared for her

at that time for a period of 3.5 years, during the time of great tribulation as angel Gabriel revealed to the prophet

Daniël, saying: And there shall be a time of trouble, straitness, and distress such as never was since there was a nation

till that time. But at that time your people shall be delivered, everyone whose name shall be found written in the Book

of God's plan for His own. (Dan 12:1b) Ampl

A Chariot of Fire – Consistent Righteousness As a type of what is going to come to pass for those who overcome, God left us two witnesses in the Old Testament,

saying of Enoch, 22 Enoch walked in habitual fellowship with God after the birth of Methuselah, 300 years, and had

other sons and daughters. 23 So all the days of Enoch were 365 years. 24 And Enoch walked in habitual fellowship with

God; and he was not, for God took him home with Him. (Gen 5:22-24) Ampl

And of Elijah he it was written: 1 WHEN THE Lord was about to take Elijah up to heaven by a whirlwind, Elijah and Elisha

were going from Gilgal. All the prophets in every town where Elijah went knew that Elijah was going to be taken away,

saying to Elisha: “Do you know that the Lord will take your master away from you today?”

After crossing the Jordan: Elijah said to Elisha: “Ask what I shall do for

you before I am taken from you. And Elisha said, I pray you, let a double

portion of your spirit be upon me. 10 He said, You have asked a hard

thing. “However, if you see me when I am taken from you, it shall be so

for you--but if not, it shall not be so. 11 As they still went on and talked,

behold, a chariot of fire and horses of fire parted the two of them, and

Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven.

The prophet Elijah had discovered the secret which Enoch had with God.

He had learnt to walk in consistent righteousness and was no more, for

He was taken up in a whirlwind. For the prophet Isaiah prophesied about

such a people, saying: 1 THE SPIRIT of the Lord God is upon me, because

the Lord has anointed and qualified me to preach the Gospel of good

tidings to the meek, the poor, and afflicted; He has sent me to bind up and heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty

to the physical and spiritual captives and the opening of the prison and of the eyes to those who are bound, 2 To

proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord the year of His favor and the day of vengeance of our God, to comfort all who

mourn, 3 To grant consolation and joy to those who mourn in Zion--to give them an ornament, a garland or diadem of

beauty instead of ashes, the oil of joy instead of mourning, the garment expressive of praise instead of a heavy,

burdened, and failing spirit--that they may be called oaks of righteousness, lofty, strong, and magnificent, distinguished

for uprightness, justice, and right standing with God, the planting of the Lord, that He may be glorified. (Isa 61:1-3) Ampl

The prophet is referring to a generation who will know their God, who has been made white in the blood and through

the righteousness of our master Yeshua our Messiah.

On that day, as the prophet Malachi prophesied, saying: 1 FOR BEHOLD, the day comes that shall burn like an oven, and

all the proud and arrogant, yes, and all that do wickedly and are lawless, shall be stubble; the day that comes shall

burn them up, says the Lord of hosts, so that it will leave them neither root nor branch. The prophet refers to a day,

when God will punish those who were disobedient and have not cleansed their hearts in His righteousness leading us to

all holiness in the Anointed One – Yeshua.

2 But unto you who revere and worshipfully fear My name shall the Sun of Righteousness arise with healing in His wings

and His beams, and you shall go forth and gambol like calves released from the stall and leap for joy. 3 And you shall

tread down the lawless and wicked, for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet in the day that I shall do this,

says the Lord of hosts. (Mal 4:1-3) Ampl But in that same day, all those who feared the great name of the God of Heaven

and earth, loving and serving Him, with a love of one who loves His First love – they will receive healing and salvation

from corruption and death, as the apostle Paul says: 42 So it is with the resurrection of the dead. The body that is sown

is perishable and decays, but the body that is resurrected is imperishable, immune to decay, immortal. 43 It is sown in

dishonor and humiliation; it is raised in honor and glory. It is sown in infirmity and weakness; it is resurrected in

strength and endued with power. (1 Cor 15:42-43) Ampl When Jesus, who is in the Father and the Father in Him, who

lives in an unapproachable light, shines on His faith ones, they will suddenly, in a wink of an eye, become like Him, as the

apostle John said: 2 It is not yet disclosed or made clear what we shall be hereafter, but we know that when He comes

and is manifested, we shall as God's children resemble and be like Him, for we shall see Him just as He really is. 3 And

everyone who has this hope resting on Him cleanses and purifies himself just as He is pure, chaste, undefiled, guiltless.

The last stumbling block that will be destroyed is death, for as Paul reveals this mystery to us: 51 Take notice! I tell you a

mystery, a secret truth, an event decreed by the hidden purpose or counsel of God. We shall not all fall asleep in death,

but we shall all be changed or transformed 52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the sound of the last

trumpet call. For a trumpet will sound, and the dead in Christ will be raised imperishable, free and immune from decay,

and we shall be changed or transformed. 53 For this perishable part of us must put on the imperishable nature, and

this mortal part of us, this nature that is capable of dying must put on immortality, freedom from death. 54 And when

this perishable puts on the imperishable and this that was capable of dying puts on freedom from death, then shall be

fulfilled the Scripture that says, Death is swallowed up, utterly vanquished forever, in and unto victory. 55 O death,

where is your victory? O death, where is your sting? 56 Now sin is the sting of death, and sin exercises its power upon

the soul through the abuse of the Law. 57 But thanks be to God, Who gives us the victory making us conquerors

through our Lord Jesus Christ. (1 Cor 15:51-56) Ampl

On the 2nd

of January 2007, during the morning

prayer, the Spirit of the Lord came upon me and

revealed this mystery to me in great detail, even

revealing the very implication of the words: “If

My people, who are called by My name, shall

humble themselves, pray, seek, crave, and

require of necessity My face and turn from their

wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven,

forgive their sin, and heal their land. (2 Chron

7:13-15) Ampl See the prophecy: If My people

who are called by My Name shall Humble

themselves and Pray

God even revealed the spiritual work that is

needed in order to see the kind of breakthrough,

which many generations have desired, but have

not yet seen. During a 10 day retreat in Sandbay

in the Cape the Lord had caught me up into

heaven over a period of 10 days. During this time

the Lord had shown me many spiritual revelations which He desire to give to His Bride, in preparing her for His coming.

After spending so much time in the heavenly sphere, my body started to change. I experienced many awesome miracles

and signs through which the Holy Spirit revealed to me all that His people need to do to in order to see the coming of

the Lord Yeshua upon the clouds, like lightning, as Yeshua himself said: 7 Behold, He is coming with the clouds, and

every eye will see Him, even those who pierced Him; and all the tribes of the earth shall gaze upon Him and beat their

breasts and mourn and lament over Him. Even so must it be. Amen (so be it). (Rev 1:7) Ampl

Jesus himself said: 27 For just as the lightning flashes from the east and shines and is seen as far as the west, so will the

coming of the Son of Man be. 28 Wherever there is a fallen body or a corpse, there the vultures or eagles will flock

together. 29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not shed its

light, and the stars will fall from the sky, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken. 30 Then the sign of the Son of

Man will appear in the sky, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn and beat their breasts and lament in anguish,

and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory in brilliancy and

splendor. 31 And He will send out His angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather His elect or His chosen

ones from the four winds, even from one end of the universe to the other. (Matt 24:27-31) Ampl

Once more God is going to save His people in the day of His power, delivering them from the rebel powers of the evil

one, saving them in His righteousness, on the day they are caught up to God and to His throne. Immediately after this

God will turn His attention to the remnant of His people, for the remaining 3.5 years. During this time there will be a

terrible tribulation on the earth as there has never been before. At that time, just before the great tribulation starts,

God will deliver His people, catching them away up into the heaven, so that they may be where He is.

God delivered Enoch in His righteousness, but through the prophet Elijah God reveals that He was caught up in a

whirlwind. But later it is said that Elijah was caught up in a Chariot of Fire.

God is preparing a chariot and horses, allowing me to reveal this same revelation, which Elijah found, so that we too

could be given birth and overcome this life and its decay in corruption, and be caught up to God and His throne.

The Rain is Coming… On the 21

st of Aug 2008, the Spirit of the Lord again came in me in power and revealed even more things, which are

about to come to pass, if we will obey the word of the Lord to us:

Then as we were in the Spirit, outside of the rain season, in South Africa, suddenly, I clearly smelled the smell of rain in

the air. Then the Lord said to Me: “I am sending the latter rain!” as was prophesied by all the prophets, Joel, Hosea and

Zechariah. (Joel 2:23-24, Hosea 6:3, Zech 10:1) As I prayed something like tongues of fire appeared upon my head. Then

the Lord Jesus said: “I will baptise you with the Holy Spirit and with fire!”

Then the Lord said to me: “Keep on drilling in the Spirit! If you have struck water and it is only a side vain, do not stop!

Do not stop until you have struck the main underground river! For if you desire to see the Niagara Falls, you can not

settle for the side streams only, but must drill until you have struck the Victoria waterfalls. For I want to pour out My

Spirit in the Southern Part of Africa.” I kept smelling the refreshing smell of rain just before it comes! Then the Lord in

great excitement said: “I send you My latter rain and I will wet the earth with My water! Therefore comfort, comfort My

people. I send you My messenger before Me. Make every high hill low and fill up every low valley. Prepare the way

before Me! Level the ground before Me!” (Isa 40:3, Mal 3:1)

Then the Lord said: “Go, tell Southern Africa that the rain is coming! It will be in these times like it was in the time of

Elijah. When you tell them, the Spirit of God will come upon you and you will run ahead of the chariot!” For says the

Lord: “I bring forth the chariot and the horse!” I have said: “Behold I will do something in your days that you will not

believe even if they explain it to you in detail!” (Hab 1:5) Ampl
