THE MORNING DEW! - November 20th,2009 Source:http://www.facebook.com/note.php?note_id=181561589329 (Isaiah 26:19-21) 19But your dead will live; their bodies will rise. You who dwell in the dust, wake up and shout for joy. Your dew is like the dew of the morning; the earth will give birth to her dead. 20Go, my people, enter your rooms and shut the doors behind you; hide yourselves for a little while until his wrath has passed by. 21 See, the Lord is coming out of his dwelling to punish the people of the earth for their sins. The earth will disclose the blood shed upon her; she will conceal her slain no longer. When Isaiah the prophet made this proclamation “Go, my people, enter your rooms and shut the doors behind you; hide yourselves for a little while until his wrath has passed by.” he literally meant the entry into the rapture and the shutting of the rapture door. The wrath of God that consumes the earth starts at the beginning of birth pains and attains its height during the great tribulation when gross darkness will grip the earth. At that time it will be virtually impossible to evangelize the Jesus of Nazareth because of the great persecution attached to testimony. Here, Isaiah clearly emphasizes on the fact that at rapture, the night is over and the morning has come. Inside this scripture is concealed the most vital revelation regarding the rapture of the church. The morning dew . . . Isaiah mentioning the onset of the morning dew during the rapture presents a very precious insight into what is expected of this hour in which the church lives. It is the eleventh and most critical hour right before the rapture. The morning dew stated here categorically refers to the Holy Spirit who is finally able to pull the asleep from their tombs and provide them with glorious bodies for rapture. This was in greater emphasis of the tremendous pivotal role that the Holy Spirit would have to play on earth in these last days. Such a role is to be articulated in the church that is completely influenced by the Holy Spirit. It draws in the need for the Holy Spirit surge in these precious and historic last days. This dew is the vivid imagery depicting God’s control over the church through the waters of life from heaven. This water of life feeds the rivers and streams of the earth to give spiritual life and health wherever they flow in the church. It is a symbol of the waters of life that flow from the temple of God Almighty in heaven (Revelation 22:1-2). The river of life that it yields is the river by which God Almighty brings forth the rain from the storeroom of his upper chambers. The latter rain that is long over due, and supposed to visit the church right now before the rapture, is this morning dew (Jeremiah 10:13). This mighty river that Isaiah saw appearing as the morning dew is meant to purify and humble the church so she may enter into the wedding of the Lamb. The Lord God esteems those who are humble at heart and contrite in spirit, and only them does he give the privilege to partake of the wedding supper of the Lamb (Isaiah 66:1-3; Obadiah 1:3-4). However, the purifying act that this dew is intended to bring into the church of Christ comes as a result of the complete purging of sin that continues to menace this church. Such a revival event is intended by God, to take place in the church through the enormous wisdom of the Lord. Such wisdom is supposed to exceedingly propel and bias the church in the latitude of the fear of the Lord (Proverbs 1:7). No wonder, the scriptures says that the fear of the Lord is the beginning of all wisdom. This dew will cause the towers of pride and the pride of man that exalts itself above Christ, to fall on that day of rapture. Right now the church has raised up for herself several towers that mirror the Tower of Babel. And yet in this dispensation of the morning dew, every mountain will be brought down, hill and valley soaked by the streams of waters from the throneroom of God. These spiritual idol towers of pride that reign inside today’s church will have to be brought down by this dew from heaven. On that day, it is noteworthy mentioned that no sin will go unnoticed at rapture (Isaiah 30:25). And for Isaiah to have seen the dew of the morning purge-up the holy dead from their graves, he must have equally seen the manner in which this dew gave life back to the asleep (ressurrection). It is an event that takes place in the twinkling of an eye in a flash of a second (1 Corithians 15:50-56). This same dew purifies the righteous living church thereby translating the holy living christians. No wonder, the Lord says that blessed are those who wash their robes, that they may have the right to the tree of life and may go through the gate into the city of God (Revelation 22:14:). That washing of the robe before the rapture is accomplished by the dew that Isaiah saw, the dew that streams right from the temple of God in heaven into the earth. It is this midnight dew (morning) that sends wisdom to the few who chose holiness in order that they may be symbolic of the few people of Sardis. In this morning dew wisdom such a church will not have soiled their clothes hence accorded with the blessing of walking with the Lord while dressed in white. The Lord calls them worthy since they have overcome sin and are holy. To any other that overcomes too, they will be like this church at spiritual Sardis. In this category the church will never have her name blotted out from the book of life and the Lord will acknowledge their names unto the Father and angels. After lavishing his people in this way, the Lord himself asks those who have ears to hear what the Spirit says. In this way, the Lord greatly implied that the morning dew essentially opens the spiritual ears of the remnant holy church at rapture. This happens to the five wise virgins when at the midnight hour, the vile of morning dew opens their ears and they hear the voice of the Son of Man (Revelations 3:4-6; Matthew 17:1-13; Matthew 28:1-5). The church is a very important conduit for this life-giving Spirit of the Lord. The gate of heaven is the door that Isaiah saw the elect enter into. In his oracles about this rapture door, the prophet Isaiah further went on to elaborate on how the earth would fail to conceal both the blood shed on her and her slain. This becomes a significant import of our time that is directed towards the church. In other words, this scripture emphasizes that in the days prior and through into the rapture, no sin or evil will be hidden at all when the latter glory falls. The day of rapture marks the beginning of judgment as the Lord will separate the holy raptured saints from the disobedient majority. God on that day is coming to avenge the oppression of his holy people through his divine judgment of tribulation. These holy elect he calls ‘my people’ (Zechariah 13:7-9; Ezekiel 11:19-20). God’s people will have their names written in the Lambs book of life (Daniel 12:1). Amen, what a mighty revelation, it is either we choose to be purified by the morning dew or end up in hell, PREPARE THE WAY JESUS IS COMING! THE WHITE HORSE OF THE APOCALYPSE -  December 11th - 2009 Source: http://www.facebook.com/note.php?note_id=198849584329 THE VISION OF HIS RELEASE When Jehovah God proffers the scroll that is in his right hand, to the Lamb that is seated on high, the true picture of the authority apportioned to Christ, is unveiled. Now, as the Lamb breaks open the first of the seven seals on the scroll of God, the first of the four horsemen of the apocalypse is released. 1And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four beasts saying, Come and see. 2And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer (Rev 6:1-2). Many people have for a long time erroneously assumed that this horseman is Christ. And that is why many are today deceived by the false christianity that the first horseman of the apocalypse who rides the white horse, brings into the earth. The god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so that they cannot see the Light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God (2 Cor 4:4). When Jesus confided in his disciples on the vestige of the end of the age, it became the greatest prophecy of all time, in the bible. This is because it foretold of the clue that would precede his Coming. And owing to the fact that the one and only reason for which the bible was ever written by the Holy Spirit, was that mankind may finally gain entry into the kingdom of God, then discerning this prophecy becomes critical to the church. The divulgement that Christianity means being a follower of Christ, hence can only give a hint that we have no choice but to allow Christ unlock the hidden secrets of the first seal, for todays church to seize. While it is true that Christ Jesus will return to the earth on a white horse, the rider of the apocalyptic white horse is not Christ. Prominence should be given to the attention that while the rider of the white horse holds a bow on his hand, Christ comes with a mighty sword. And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war. His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself. And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God. And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean. And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND Lord OF lord's. (Rev 19:11-16). On the other hand eminence must be given to the fact that, like the other three horse of the apocalypse, the man on the white horse in Rev 6:1-2, bring great suffering upon the church. Hitherto, in Rev 19:11-16 Christ brings abundant peace and joy into the church, after smashing the rebellious ones from the earth. By far, the most intense suffering caused by the four horsemen of the apocalypse, is that arising from the actions of the first horseman on the white horse. To make matters worse this rider of the white horse builds up and concentrates the intensity of his activity right before the second Coming of Christ; a time that is most crucial for the church to get it right. It is truly compelling when one fathoms that the reason the first horseman is first, arises from the fact that he causes the most suffering by far, on the church. As well relayed in the bible, the first horseman of the apocalypse ingresses into the church as a conqueror bent on conquest. To best understand the mission of this first horseman and the gravity of the great devastation he inflicts on the church, it is paramount to first deduce the true meaning of the word conquer. In basic layman's terms, to conquer means to come off with victory and nothing less. To put it in other words, it implies taking control of a place by force of arms or it equally means to win a victory over a people in a war. Therefore, one quickly understands the sadist mission of the first horseman who is mounted on the white horse as being, to forcefully conquer this most crucial dispensation between the first and the second Coming of Christ. The weightiness with which the first horseman launches battle against the christians emanates from the fact that he conquers by deceiving. THE WHITE HORSE & SPIRITUAL DECEPTION On the face value, the three other horsemen of the apocalypse would appear to cause more suffering than the first, but that is not the case in reality. Actually, the first horseman precipitates the majority of the gruesome episodes of the latter three horsemen. The catastrophic episodes resulting from the manifestation of the effects of the latter three horsemen, literally occur to mankind because of being deceived. And as a result of that, this first horseman is branded the most deleterious among the four horsemen of the apocalypse. He is most deadly because he leads mankind to eternal death. The most accurate oracle that would describe this first and most deadly horseman of the apocalypse, is that which catalogues him under the brand name spiritual deception. And indeed, he is called religious deception. However, to best understand the schemes and whims with which the man on the white horse achieves his overwhelming conquest over the church, one must examine the vehicle of his conquest. The first horseman thrives on the fact that since the onset of post-modernism and the clamour for globalization, man has increasingly become so casual and shallow, in his religious interests. These twin traits of spiritual casualness and shallowness in mans pursuit of Gods ways have been the greatest undoing of the church. It is this, that the first horseman has capitalized on and exploited to the max, globally. Remember, his mission was to ensure that he conquers and nothing less. Humanity is totally vulnerable because he has no idea of the gravity of suffering that is caused by this white horseman. Accordingly, the majority of people today do not perceive the extent of damage caused by this spiritual deception, not only in their personal lives but also globally in the church as a whole. Discerning the importance of the first horseman and how he impacts the church of Christ today, requires that we examine the interpretation that Jesus himself gave on this horseman. That interpretation is recorded in the book of Matthew; Jesus left the temple and was walking away when his disciples came up to him to call his attention to its buildings. ”Do you see all these things?” he asked. “I tell you the truth, not one stone here will be left on another; every one will be thrown down.” As Jesus was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately. “Tell us,” they said, “when will this happen, and what will be the sign of your coming and of the end of the age?î (Matt 24:1-3). The stones that Jesus referred to, that make up the Temple buildings, were as a matter of fact, spiritual stones and not physical. Amazingly, in saying this, Jesus was precisely addressing only his disciples, which was a small group of people. No wonder, he uses the phrase " as they privately sought audience with him.'' Nonetheless, the Lord was referring to the spiritual stones that would make up the current church of Christ. As you come to him, the living stone - rejected by men but chosen by God and precious to him - you also, like living stones, are being built into a spiritual house, to be a holy priesthood offering spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. (1 Peter 2:4-5). Jesus revealed this prophecy on the coming of the grand fall in the church, specifically to his disciples which actually constituted his most important inner circle and core of believers and followers. In referring to the fact that no stone would be left to another, and that every one of them would be thrown down, the Lord Jesus was essentially implying on the devastation that the man on the white horse would bring upon todays church. Most beguiling of all is that Jesus, speaking to his disciples literally symbolizes a conversation that he is having with the priesthood of todays church. And the focus of the message in that conversation, was levied on this dispensation, His second Coming and the end of the Age (world). It clearly emerges from that conversation, that Christ gave the signs of the end of the world, the end time, and the details to watch out for. The question then becomes, why did Jesus give these specific details? The one and only reason for which the Lord intimated to the church on the signs of the end of the Age, is because those markers are very closely knit with his return. Notice is hereby taken on the fact that, the first and foremost warning that Jesus gives to his apostles, is for them to watch out and beware of the deception that was coming. In that way, the Lord Jesus, was essentially referring to the coming of the first horseman of the apocalypse. Put in context, Christ was denoting that the deception that would be unleashed by the first horseman would get so bad, that Christs own disciples would be deceived about, not only his person but also his message. This he said, well aware of the fact that his own disciples were in fact well acquainted with his directive. And that is what greatly underscores the schemes and trickery of the first horseman in deceiving and conquering the hearts of mankind. It hence becomes even more apparent now, that this deception transcends far beyond the false Christianity that the first horseman unleashes onto the church. That can only mean that as the first horseman of the apocalypse brings deception onto the earth, he indeed manages to deceive Gods chosen people - the elect. Because of this, Christ mentions the word you as he directly refers to his own chosen disciples. Jesus inexorably foretold that they too would be deceived into believing a false message about the person of Christ while rejecting the true message of the Christ. At this juncture, it is vital to mention that the true message of the Christ is the passion of the Christ for the salvation of mankind, hence the message of the Blood and the cross at Calvary. In other words, the Lord was hinting on the fact that when this dispensation would arrive, the church leadership would be quick to not only forget, but also reject the very foundation of the gospel, namely the blood and the cross. One need not go very far, to agree that looking at the church today, she surely has fallen into the trickery of this schemy man on the white horse. Even most unfortunate though, is that those who are being deceived are people who have been given Gods salvation, his Holy Spirit and the truth. It is for this reason that the first horseman of the apocalypse has been referred to as being the most pernicious to human race since he causes even Gods own chosen elect to fall. Just to envisage how catastrophic the manifestation of the effects of spiritual deception in the church are, a closer look at the book of Hebrews chapter 6 verses 4-6, becomes a sobering awakening unto the church. It is impossible for those who have once been enlightened, who have tasted the heavenly gift, who have shared in the Holy Spirit, who have tasted the goodness of the word of God and the powers of the coming age, if they fall away, to be brought back to repentance, because to their loss they are crucifying the Son of God all over again and subjecting him to public disgrace (Hebrews 6:4-6). The same scripture is echoed in Hebrews 10: 26-31 and 2 Peter 2:19-22. The spiritual deception that the rider of the white apocalyptic horse brings to the church, fundamentally cuts on the numbers of the Lords very elect by making them immune to the true gospel. It is incredible though, that these people in the church receive the Holy Spirit and the truth and then they chose to reject it for a false Christianity. This emphasizes just how deadly this first horseman of the apocalypse is, and there is no better way to grasp the fall from the truth into a falsehood, than what is presented in Galatians 3:3. After beginning with the Spirit, are you now trying to attain a goal by human effort? (Gal 3:3). The work of the first horseman then appears to be that of basically conquering the souls of the christians and to lead them to eternal death. In so doing, he also blocks the unborn again from the truth since he causes christians to act shallow and sinful in the eyes of the heathen. The rampant acceptance of sin into the church practically repels off the heathens from receiving Jesus. Moreover, as this man on the white horse destroys the born-again elect of the Lord, he likewise blocks the perishing from accessing the truth. Any mediocre revival that maybe staged by the false Christianity he unleashes, will normally equally lead those who long for salvation to falsehood and the lack of holiness. The true task of the man on the white horse of the apocalypse, hence then becomes that of introducing the world and its apparent post-modernism into the church of Christ. It stuns one though, to realize that this first horseman propagates the apostasy across the globe. This he does, by instituting the false gospel that focuses the church onto the earthly living. An earthly gospel of that nature misses the focus on heaven, heavenly principles and requirements. Bluntly put, the first horseman obliterates holiness from the lives of Gods elect. By deceiving the pastors to the extent that they literally champion a gospel that cannot accommodate the holiness of the Lord, the white horse from heaven achieves its most desired conquest in the church. For all that, the man of the white horse employs that very first original trick of the devil to prey on the church. He exhaustively uses the trick of the lusting of the eyes that was employed in the garden of Eden. In that way, todays pastors quickly begin to lust at the things of the world thereby forgetting the kingdom of God. It is this that by definition birthed out the gospel of prosperity that has now established in the church. And just to prove how much he is bent on conquest, one doesn't have to turn anywhere but to look at how the gospel of prosperity has become so popular globally. On the contrary, any pastor or church that preaches holiness and the kingdom of God at this hour, will literally face a bitter rejection in todays church. The confounding power with which the first horseman of the apocalypse plots his conquest, rests on the deceptive principles which he lays on the hearts of the pastors causing them to use biblical scriptures to justify false Christianity. They may even say that women should not worry about how they dress because they claim that God does not look at peoples dressing but the heart. While that may be a scriptural quotation, it is also important to factor in Matthew 5 :27-28. This calls for responsibility among christians and catapults the new law of the grace a pedestal higher that the proverbial abuse with which it has in the recent past, been related against the law of Moses. Whilst spiritual fatherhood may have been a novel concept of discipling in the church, the rider of the white horse has picked it and taken it into the heads and the hands of the preachers of earthly prosperity. Out of this has come a tremendous cascade of false apostles and false prophets that have given birth to other pastors and prophets who continue to proliferate the false Christianity observed in church today. The advent of the false prophets of the prosperity gospel is a true attestation on just how much the white horse has conquered the church globally. By sending these false prophets and false apostles, to plant churches globally, the man on the white horse has practically birthed out his disciples of falsehood in every nation of the earth. In its greatest irony, the elect of holiness and righteousness, who continue to be the true followers of Christ, have now been reduced to a mere remnant in the church. Unfortunately though, it is this remnant that will eventually enter into the kingdom of God. And a highway will be there; it will be called the Way of Holiness. The unclean will not journey on it; it will be for those who walk in that Way; wicked fools will not go about on it. No lion will be there, nor will any ferocious beast get up on it; they will not be found there. But only the redeemed will walk there. (Isaiah 35: 8-9). THE LOVE OF MOST As the Lord Jesus continued to relay the prophecy of the signs that would eclipse the church right before his return in the rapture, he further elaborated in Matthew chapter 24 verse 12 that: And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. It is as though the greatest dispensation of darkness has now befallen the earth especially that sin and iniquity has become absolutely rampant in the church. But this is consistent with the eleventh hour which the prophetic time line has clocked. Apostasy has today reached a new high in which even openly gay homosexual pastors and bishops are being ordained at the pulpit. Exactly this is what Jesus meant when he said that many will fall away from the true faith and turn to a false form of Christianity which lacks in holiness. Very much aware that holiness is the most momentous benchmark standard of the Lord for entry into heaven, then one need not be a genius to quickly see that the first horseman of the apocalypse literally slams the door of heaven on the church. It bespeaks desolation. Such is the apostasy of this hour that the love of many will wax cold. A burning candle becomes hot and dynamic and flows in its content but waxing cold insinuates no more burning, nor more Light emitted and hence dead Christianity. That is the true signature footprint that the white horse leaves in the church. The Holy Spirits definition of love is Agape which basically implies Gods love for mankind. But we all know that the love of God for mankind is Christ Jesus. Hence; For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. (John 3:16) It is this precious love that was predicted to wax cold. That openly denotes that God Almighty gave his precious gift of love and they have today waxed it cold. The waxing cold essentially refers to a state of the heart of the believers who had in the beginning accepted Jesus and received the Holy Spirit only to fall away from the true faith into the shameful apostasy of the day. Likewise, it bespeaks the shift from the first primitive, holy, and glorious church of the first century to this post-modern church of today. And that is exactly why the first horseman of the apocalypse capitalizes on the modernization of the christianity hence adulterating the word. The ensuing defiling acceptance of the world into the glorious gospel of Jesus Christ becomes the biggest shame in the church. Even though such apostasy was predicted by the Holy Spirit in 2 Timothy 3: 1-7, Gods elect were precisely cautioned to have nothing to do with it. But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days. People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, 3without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with them. They are the kind who worm their way into homes and gain control over weak-willed women, who are loaded down with sins and are swayed by all kinds of evil desires, always learning but never able to acknowledge the truth (2 Tim 3:1-7). The global Christian television with its selling of oil, books, trips to holiday vacations, and cruise ship pleasures with barbecues, little ornaments, shawls, miracles, sowing of seeds, and all the commercialization that today plagues the gospel has but, well fulfilled the mighty prophecy that Jesus gave in Matthew 24. The prophecy on waxing cold of the love of many people, is practically being fulfilled every minute that goes by in todays church of Christ. By referring to many the Lord implied the majority of Gods own people who would in the last days let the love of Christ wax cold in their hearts, to the extent that other idols would be exalted higher than the Lord, in their lives. It is an absurd scenario that creates a massive global wave of a majority of Christians headed to hell while only a minority remain headed to rapture. THE FIRST HORSEMAN & TODAY’S SPLIT CHURCH Substantial reference was made by Jesus, towards the fact that the end time church at the very brinks of rapture would turn out to be a split church. While the day of his return would remain secret, the appearance into the scene of a split church was nevertheless intended to be a clear landmark that the Messiahs Coming has drawn nigh. “No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. For in the days before the flood, people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, up to the day Noah entered the ark; and they knew nothing about what would happen until the flood came and took them all away. That is how it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. Two men will be in the field; one will be taken and the other left. Two women will be grinding with a hand mill; one will be taken and the other left. “Therefore keep watch, because you do not know on what day your Lord will come (Matt 24:36-42). In the aforegoing, we see clearly that Christ, in his most eminent prophecy to the church, pointed towards the fact that the majority of Gods elect would be practically struck by the sharp merciless arrows from the bow of the first horseman. This would cause them to spiritually perish into an eternal abyss. And because he treads spiritual deception as a trademark, the man on the white horse literally spikes his sharp spiritual arrows with the lethal doses of the excesses of the world. His arrows appear to be targeted to the hearts and souls of believers even as he plays the role of a perfect spiritual marksman in precision. Considering that it is the hearts and the souls of man that Christ Jesus died for on the Cross, then one can only imagine the level of devastation this first horseman has inflicted on the body of Christ. Whereas this may have stood out as the strongest warning ever from Christ to the church, the tragedy though is that most Christians still largely remain very ignorant of this most crucial dispensational change. And even when a few become slightly enlightened of the new spiritual season, they would break your heart since they take it very lightly with no gravity at all. It is the scenario of this nature that has caused the man on the white horse to have a field day and thrive his conquest thereby conquering almost all. One of the most important ways in which the man on the white horse deceived the elect church, is by getting their focus away from the person of Christ while gradually leading them away from Christs message. It is amazingly interesting that he spares not the heathen to the extent that most people who are not yet born again would continue to claim to know about Christ while in actual sense refusing to accept him as Lord and Saviour. In this way they do not get to commit their lives to Jesus as they continue making little quotes that they may have come by. An overriding observation that befits this condition in the church is that most people are deceived because they do not understand the bible. While this may be a painful summary of todays church, it is only true that only a small fraction of Christian would bother to clearly understand the bible in greater depth. The fertility of this kind of environment is what makes the man on the white horse become more subtle and powerful than the church in order to deceive Gods own chosen people. That means that even as Christ spoke more seriously and directly to his disciples and followers, he did so with a complete understanding that their hard-won salvation was at stake. It is true that Jesus was justified to focus on the church given that those in the world have not yet been called to him.: No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him, and I will raise him up at the last day. (John 6:44) For those who have not been called unto the Lord, an opportunity will be availed most likely in the tribulation. But it is paramount to comprehend that Gods elect of todays church will either be raptured with his return or be thrown into the lake of fire. Two Men in the field At the time of Noah, there emerged a vivid split between the righteous Noah's family and the sinful majority that drowned in the flood. In emphasizing the split characteristic of the end time church just prior to the rapture, Jesus eloquently spoke of two men who would be working in the field, with one being taken and the other being left on earth. In the biblical context, the men represent the servants of the Lord. And so it can only mean that the Coming of the Lord in the rapture will bring with itself a remarkable split within the priesthood in the church. There will be those remnant pastors and shepherds who will choose to embrace the Holy Spirit and the holiness of the Lord, thereby defying the deceptive gimmicks of the man on the white horse. These will be the pastors whose flock walk the narrow unpopular road in the book of Matthew chapter 7: 13-14. “Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it. Only the Holy Spirit of God Almighty can help the current church to correctly identify the narrow road that leads to the wedding feast of the Lamb. This is so because of the great commercialization and globalization that has today eaten into the gospel of Jesus Christ. It has practically rendered the most novel gospel of the blood and cross at Calvary either totally irrelevant to the lives of these post-modern Christians or virtually impractical in their glamorous setting. Choosing to live a holy and meek life of righteousness, can today prove to be a great challenge within the Christian fraternity. Walking the blood and cross of Jesus will hence require a tremendous self-sacrifice from among the Christians who chose that unpopular narrow road. On the contrary, the other segment of the split priesthood are those that will have been led astray by the schemes of this first horsemen of the apocalypse. These are the pastors who have fallen into the great falsehood of this hour and have practically embraced the gospel of prosperity that seriously lacks in holiness. In this way, the man of the white horse gets to split Gods elect church into half, with one half entering into rapture while the other into eternal damnation. It becomes particularly disturbing to know that the field that the two men are said to be working, is as a matter of fact, in the Lords vineyard. And since both men are working in the same field, that can only mean it is the quality of their work that distinguishes them. References is hereby made to the case of the five wise versus foolish virgins in Matthew 25:1-13. The only distinguishing factors then, between the two men that the Lord said would be working in the same field, is the Holy Spirit. Obviously, the man that is taken up in the rapture represents the pastors who work under the anointing of the Holy Spirit in this last hour, hence releasing the fruit of the Spirit thereof. Yet the man that is left to face the full wrath of the tribulation, symbolizes the prosperity pastors, false prophets, false apostles, and all the Christians that follow them in that grand false Christianity. It is debilitating to imagine that in that false Christianity, they would think that all is well, and hence develop immunity of the end time gospel of repentance and holiness. Two Women at the Mill Conversely, as Jesus referred to this awful split in the end time church, he also mentioned two women who would be grinding on a hand mill. The Lord asserted that one woman would be taken into rapture, while the other is destined to remain in the earth and face the full consequences of tribulation. By woman, the Holy Spirit presents the symbolism of the church of Christ. And working on the mill essentially purports working and preaching the Word of God. It indicates that the Lord was referring to a dysfunction that would present in the latter church, in which there would be two separate churches, both in the Lords Temple. Since both of the women are grinding at the mill, then it becomes clear that both are teaching Gods truth but one is preaching in the outer court while the other is preaching in the holy of holies. Ministering in the holy of holies requires that one walks in absolute holiness, lest they may not survive in that place of wrath. Today, there are many churches in which the truth of God is preached, except that it is adulterated with the defiling activities of the outer court. Thence the reason for which the church symbolized by the woman in the outer court is left behind at rapture, can only be lukewarmness (Rev 3:15-16). If there would be any one perfect way to summarize the activities of the first horseman of the apocalypse into the church, then that would be his achievement in transforming Gods elect into a lukewarm church. The majority of todays church are deceived by the post-modernism of the day to a place whereby they now maintain a lukewarm attitude towards salvation. It has today become common practice to mix the sin of the world with the holy salvation of our Lord Jesus that was hard-won at Calvary. Christians today have really forgotten Gods decree on separation and the living of a separated life: Do not be yoked together with unbelievers. For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common? Or what fellowship can Light have with darkness? What harmony is there between Christ and Belial? What does a believer have in common with an unbeliever? What agreement is there between the temple of God and idols? For we are the temple of the living God. As God has said: ìI will live with them and walk among them, and I will be their God, and they will be my people.” “Therefore come out from them and be separate, says the Lord. Touch no unclean thing, and I will receive you.” ”I will be a Father to you, and you will be my sons and daughters, says the Lord Almighty.” (2 Cor 6:14-18). One church hence flees into rapture while the lukewarm church enters into tribulation just because lukewarmness greatly lacks in holiness. Lukewarm Christians will not be ready to flee at rapture. The lukewarm church that Jesus symbolized by the woman who is left behind after rapture, is exigently a church that is not alert. Lukewarmness creates a myriad of activities around the life of a Christian to the point that in most cases the believers would get more focused on the earthly realm than heaven. It is the reason Jesus cautioned on the need for the church to get heavenly focused by maintaining a watchful stance within the last watch of the night. By rebuking his three most beloved disciples on slumber, at the garden of Gethsemane, the Lord Jesus came out very articulately stunned on the grave danger of sleepiness in church. Watchfulness has always remained a must for a rapture-ready church: The majority of todays churches are lukewarm, modern and deceived, to the point that they are not yet ready to flee into rapture. Their watching is not good enough. Therefore keep watch, because you do not know on what day your Lord will come. 43But understand this: If the owner of the house had known at what time of night the thief was coming, he would have kept watch and would not have let his house be broken into. So you also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him (Matthew 24:42-44), Today’s Saints Deceived What the Lord meant by deceived in Luke's account of this most crucial biblical prophecy, is led astray. Without a doubt then, this infers a more serious scenario in which the man of the apocalyptic white horse leads the church astray, away from the Lord. It is not just a mere drifting away. This is the clearest indication yet that when Christ gave this warning and prophecy, he was practically talking to his own church. The reason being that only saints who are ardent believers and followers of Christ can be led astray. It presupposes that they were initially in right standing with the Lord, and then led astray through this cunning first horseman of the apocalypse. To the stray church, it is as though the most celebrated warning that the Holy Spirit recorded in the book of Colossians 2:8, does not exist. See to it that no one takes you captive through hollow and deceptive philosophy, which depends on human tradition and the basic principles of this world rather than on Christ (Col 2:8). This kind of leading astray of Gods elect, can only mean that the first horseman of the apocalypse in real sense, either perverts biblical scripture in the church or takes away the bible as the foundation of church. In so doing, he replaces long standing biblical principles with the deceptive philosophies of man that are tuned in conformity with the sinful nature of this world. Abhorrable pain though, comes in as a result of the fact that Gods own elect who have been deceived by this horseman, do not just tumble and fall, but are led into eternal death. This is because if they had just tumbled and fallen while on the rightful course, they would still have ended up into the wedding feast of the Lamb. But being led astray literally notates taking a different trajectory which is actual far removed from the only highway of holiness that leads to rapture. Dr. Edward Owour Mar 11 2011 Melchizedek’s Day Is Known As The Day Of Light THE MESSAGE OF THE LORD-01-01-2011-MELCHIZEDEK'S DAY.mp3 https://docs.google.com/folder/d/0B2HtfEZdTjMoNWRlMzBmMjUtYmQ4Ny00NjA2LTk4NTAtYzY0NzI4OTU5YjRh/edit?pli=1#docId=0B3CVk8krP54GMDZhNjRlMTktMDk4MC00OGRmLTkzOTYtNzI1Mzc5MWQxMTlj MELCHIZEDEK'S  Day.mp3 https://docs.google.com/folder/d/0B2HtfEZdTjMoNWRlMzBmMjUtYmQ4Ny00NjA2LTk4NTAtYzY0NzI4OTU5YjRh/edit?pli=1#docId=0B3CVk8krP54GMzZiZDkwNDMtNWIzNS00OTVhLWIxNWQtNThiNGZkMjI0NzY4 Genesis 1:14-19  14 And God said, “Let there be lights in the vault of the sky to separate the day from the night, and let them serve as signs to mark sacred times, and days and years, 15 and let them be lights in the vault of the sky to give light on the earth.” And it was so. 16 God made two great lights—the greater light to govern the day and the lesser light to govern the night. He also made the stars. 17 God set them in the vault of the sky to give light on the earth, 18 to govern the day and the night, and to separate light from darkness. And God saw that it was good. 19 And there was evening, and there was morning—the fourth day. It is very shocking to read this. You realize that the Lord was speaking so deep to the Church when He wrote this. This can only dawn one to the realization that the Sovereign Lord has set us to be lights to give light on the earth, and this Light carries a responsibility with it. Here is the responsibility: 1) To light up the earth, the world Have you as an individual been the Light of the world amidst the heavy darkness that has consumed the earth? Remember, just as the Lord Jesus is the Light of the world, His perfect Bride must also bear His Nature as the Light of the world. The five wise virgins at the Midnight hour rose up and took their lit lamps with oil and went out to be the Light of the world, and surely as remnant as they were, they saw the Kingdom of God. 2)The Divine Revelation on Melchizedek’s Day Is Known As The Day Of Light surely goes so deep, deeper than we may ever understand. In this very Scripture, you quickly realize that it was also the Calling of God upon the Church as the Light of the world to mark sacred times, and this is very evident in the sacred time the earth has now entered into that the Lord has used the Revival Church to mark – these days of purification spoken of in Daniel 12 when many will be made pure and spotless by this end-time revival, this mighty revival of righteousness. Jeremiah 8:7 -Even the stork in the sky knows her appointed seasons, and the dove, the swift and the thrush observe the time of their migration. But My people do not know the requirements of the LORD. Surely He was talking about the requirement for this season that the Church ought to embrace and announce to all the earth. We learn here that it is the responsibility of the Church to proclaim this season and point it out clearly to the world around her so they may also be awakened to the fact of the end-time season that we have now entered;the season that will usher in the Coming of the Messiah our Lord Jesus Christ Himself. Truly, it is our responsibility to awaken the world around us to the fact that surely the season has changed and that in the past, God used to overlook such ignorance but now He commands and demands that everybody everywhere must now repent and return to righteousness because the Messiah is coming. Lord, please help us be the Light of the world even as I prepare for the Day of Light. 3)To govern the nations as the Rod of God – The Church is the Government of God Almighty Why then have things been turned upside down in these very days when the world has now entered the Church and is governing her? Please let us stop this compromise with the world and stand up for Jesus. Deuteronomy 4:5-9 5 See, I have taught you decrees and laws as the LORD my God commanded me, so that you may follow them in the land you are entering to take possession of it. 6 Observe them carefully, for this will show your wisdom and understanding to the nations, who will hear about all these decrees and say, “Surely this great nation is a wise and understanding people.” 7 What other nation is so great as to have their gods near them the way the LORD our God is near us whenever we pray to him? 8 And what other nation is so great as to have such righteous decrees and laws as this body of laws I am setting before you today? 9 Only be careful, and watch yourselves closely so that you do not forget the things your eyes have seen or let them fade from your heart as long as you live. Teach them to your children and to their children after them. 4)To separate between that which is of the light and that which is of the kingdom of darkness, holy from unholy, good from evil, wheat from chaff… Leviticus 20:24-25 24 But I said to you…I am the LORD your God, who has set you apart from the nations. 25 “‘You must therefore make a distinction between clean and unclean… After reading this, it begs the question, “have I truly measured up to the Light of the world?” Let this strengthen our resolve to be the Light of the world, in righteousness and absolute holiness without which no man can see the Lord. If after having read this, you realize that you have fallen short of the requirement of the Light of the world, kindly repeat this prayer very loudly wherever you are. Say - Mighty Lord JESUS, I am a sinner and I repent of all my sins, Please wash my sins with the Blood of JESUS today, I receive you into my heart today as my Lord and Saviour, Write my name in the Lamb’s Book of Life, Please send me the Holy Spirit to help me be the Light of the world and live in holiness Lord, please protect my heart, In the Name of JESUS, I am Born Again today. Amen. If you have repeated this prayer, find a Holy Bible Teaching Church where you will be taught the holy ways of the Lord that you may walk in them. Read your Bible everyday and pray everyday. The Word of God will forever remain the eternal diet to nourish your salvation and the Holy Spirit the eternal water to purify your heart. Keep your heart from all sin. Fight sin everyday and overcome just as the Lord Jesus HE fought and overcame. Romans 13:11-14 The Day Is Near 11 And do this, understanding the present time: The hour has already come for you to wake up from your slumber, because our salvation is nearer now than when we first believed. 12 The night is nearly over; the day is almost here. So let us put aside the deeds of darkness and put on the armor of light. 13 Let us behave decently, as in the daytime, not in carousing and drunkenness, not in sexual immorality and debauchery, not in dissension and jealousy. 14 Rather, clothe yourselves with the Lord Jesus Christ, and do not think about how to gratify the desires of the flesh.[a] He has made it so simple – simply shut down every other voice and listen only to the Voice of the Holy Spirit. Surely without holiness, nobody will see the Lord. Reference: Ministry of Repentance and Holiness (2011).

MELCHIZEDEK DAY IS KNOWN AS DAY OF LIGHT'S - SCRIPTURES

Very important revelation from God to Davod Owuor  - December 12th 2011

GENESIS 14:17-21 [N.I.V]

 17 After Abram returned from defeating Kedorlaomer and the kings allied with him, the king of Sodom came out to meet him in the Valley of Shaveh (that is, the King’s Valley).
 18 Then Melchizedek king of Salem brought out bread and wine. He was priest of God Most High, 19 and he blessed Abram, saying,

   “Blessed be Abram by God Most High, 
   Creator of heaven and earth. 
20 And praise be to God Most High,
   who delivered your enemies into your hand.”
   Then Abram gave him a tenth of everything.
 21 The king of Sodom said to Abram, “Give me the people and keep the goods for yourself.”

HEBREWS 7:1-10 [N.I.V]

1 This Melchizedek was king of Salem and priest of God Most High. He met Abraham returning from the defeat of the kings and blessed him, 2 and Abraham gave him a tenth of everything. First, the name Melchizedek means “king of righteousness”; then also, “king of Salem” means “king of peace.” 3 Without father or mother, without genealogy, without beginning of days or end of life, resembling the Son of God, he remains a priest forever.
 4 Just think how great he was: Even the patriarch Abraham gave him a tenth of the plunder! 5 Now the law requires the descendants of Levi who become priests to collect a tenth from the people—that is, from their fellow Israelites—even though they also are descended from Abraham. 6 This man, however, did not trace his descent from Levi, yet he collected a tenth from Abraham and blessed him who had the promises. 7 And without doubt the lesser is blessed by the greater. 8 In the one case, the tenth is collected by people who die; but in the other case, by him who is declared to be living. 9 One might even say that Levi, who collects the tenth, paid the tenth through Abraham, 10because when Melchizedek met Abraham, Levi was still in the body of his ancestor.

JOHN 1:1 [N.IV]

1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was with God in the beginning. 3 Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. 4 In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind. 5 The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome.

PSALMS 76:1-12 [N.I.V]


1 God is renowned in Judah;
   in Israel his name is great.
2 His tent is in Salem,
   his dwelling place in Zion.
3 There he broke the flashing arrows, 
   the shields and the swords, the weapons of war.[b]

 4 You are radiant with light,
   more majestic than mountains rich with game. 
5 The valiant lie plundered,
   they sleep their last sleep;
not one of the warriors
   can lift his hands.
6 At your rebuke, God of Jacob,
   both horse and chariot lie still.

 7 It is you alone who are to be feared.
   Who can stand before you when you are angry?
8 From heaven you pronounced judgment, 
   and the land feared and was quiet—
9 when you, God, rose up to judge,
   to save all the afflicted of the land.
10 Surely your wrath against mankind brings you praise, 
   and the survivors of your wrath are restrained.[c]

 11 Make vows to the LORD your God and fulfill them;
   let all the neighboring lands
   bring gifts to the One to be feared.
12 He breaks the spirit of rulers;
   he is feared by the kings of the earth.

PSALMS 110:1-7 [N.I.V]

1 The LORD says to my lord:[a]

   “Sit at my right hand
   until I make your enemies
   a footstool for your feet.”

 2 The LORD will extend your mighty scepter from Zion, saying,
   “Rule in the midst of your enemies!”
3 Your troops will be willing
   on your day of battle.
Arrayed in holy splendor,
   your young men will come to you
   like dew from the morning’s womb.[b]

 4 The LORD has sworn 
   and will not change his mind: 
“You are a priest forever, 
   in the order of Melchizedek.”

 5 The Lord is at your right hand[c];
   he will crush kings on the day of his wrath.
6 He will judge the nations, heaping up the dead
   and crushing the rulers of the whole earth.
7 He will drink from a brook along the way,[d]
   and so he will lift his head high.

1 CORINTHIANS 15:50-55 [N.I.V]

50 I declare to you, brothers and sisters, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable. 51 Listen, I tell you a mystery: We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed—52 in a flash, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed. 53 For the perishable must clothe itself with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality. 54 When the perishable has been clothed with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality, then the saying that is written will come true: “Death has been swallowed up in victory.”[h]

 55 “Where, O death, is your victory? 
   Where, O death, is your sting?”


ISAIAH 55:1-2 [N.I.V]

1 “Come, all you who are thirsty, 
   come to the waters;
and you who have no money, 
   come, buy and eat! 
Come, buy wine and milk
   without money and without cost.
2 Why spend money on what is not bread,
   and your labor on what does not satisfy? 
Listen, listen to me, and eat what is good,
   and you will delight in the richest of fare.

MATHEW 26:17-30 [N.I.V]

26 While they were eating, Jesus took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and gave it to his disciples, saying, “Take and eat; this is my body.”
 27 Then he took a cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them, saying, “Drink from it, all of you. 28 This is my blood of the[b] covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins. 29 I tell you, I will not drink from this fruit of the vine from now on until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father’s kingdom.”
 30 When they had sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.
