Journey to see God: "Dress yourself for work!"

The watchman was led to take a five days’ journey in the end time of the year 2012. He had to do a prophetic act. He took a bus, traveling for eight hours including a lot of walking and waiting. He was put through a number of ‘end times tests’.
A test on physical and spiritual stamina
He was put to test physically as he chose not to take a back-pack. Thus he suffered. He had to carry a heavy sling bag with two Bibles (an English Standard Version and a Bible in a tribal language), with water and provision and another heavy traveler bag (with no roller wheels). He only managed to sleep about four hours on the previous night before the usual 5am meeting before the Lord.
He was further tested in having to move and stay in three different places within four days. For a watchman intercessor this is no news. He obeyed and experienced watching the spectacular panorama view of the city and the spiritual midnight and dawn sky, while praying and interceding in the Spirit and in understanding as led by the Spirit of the Lord.
He walked hours in the daytime, woke and slept at short intervals at nights. He was given conducive and non-conducive external environment to watch the signs and pray. The spiritual environment was challenging and with another intercessor they broke through.
Journey began with a Message for him personally (which he only knew on the last day! )
The first day’s bus ride was comfortable. He was led to read Jeremiah 1-9. One verse struck him specifically, Jeremiah 1:17 (ESV) spoke to him specifically, “¹⁷ But you, dress yourself for work; arise, and say to them everything that I command you. Do not be dismayed by them, lest I dismay you before them.” (He did not know then that this was the key theme of this journey at this time!)

A dream of his late brother: the time is urgent!
On the second day’s early morning, by 4:30am he woke up from a dream in which his late brother was trying to tell him something. He knew it was about the urgency of the next morning’s appointment with a nephew of his. He noted the message. The brother repented and had his life transformed a year before he passed away peacefully without sickness. The message was: “tell the 23 years old nephew that while he is still young he should respond now to the Lord’s calling ant not hesitate, as no one knows what happens tomorrow”.
The TEACHER appeared and discoursed about Law
Then he was led to read Mark 1-4, all about Jesus being a divine teacher. He teaches the truth of God’s word, as He preaches the kingdom of God. The way Jesus teaches is different from others. He looks at the intents/motives behind a principle or a law. He sums up His interpretation and application of the Law of God in this verse,

Mark 3:4-5 (ESV) And he said to them, “Is it lawful on the Sabbath to do good or to do harm, to save life or to kill?” But they were silent. ⁵ And he looked around at them with anger, grieved at their hardness of heart,

The Law kills. The Spirit gives life.
The watchman noted this truth: that unlike the religious leaders who talk only of ‘lawful’ or ‘not lawful’ regardless the purpose or effect -causing harms or even death, the Lord Jesus talks about ‘doing good to people’ and ‘saving people’s lives’. The Lord has shown that the true purpose of God’s Law is to do good and save life. He was even angry with and grieved at the hardness of heart of the religious leaders, who were motivated by evil and murderous intents: jealousy and envy. They were not concerned with the healing and deliverance of a dysfunctional man. He attended their synagogue but they could not heal or save him. Jesus healed and saved him.
This confirmed what the Lord had earlier forewarned the watchman to beware of this religious snare in his previous journey of faith. Galatians 3:10 The Righteous Shall Live by Faith “¹⁰ For all who rely on works of the law are under a curse; for it is written, “Cursed be everyone who does not abide by all things written in the Book of the Law, and do them.”
A vision of an eye in the open sky
When dawn broke the watchman was led to take a few pictures of the sky. The pictures showed the capture of an eye in the opening of the sky (in answer to his sudden prayer asking to see the unseen).
Intercede for children and descendants
For a considerable part of the four days, the watchman was led to read Isaiah for prayers for children. For example, he was led to read 1:2b, “Children have I reared and brought up, but they have rebelled against me.” 30:1-2 ““Ah, stubborn children,” declares the Lord, “who carry out a plan, but not mine,
and who make an alliance, but not of my Spirit, that they may add sin to sin; 2 who set out to go down to Egypt, without asking for my direction, to take refuge in the protection of Pharaoh and to seek shelter in the shadow of Egypt!”
66:13 “As one whom his mother comforts, so I will comfort you; you shall be comforted in Jerusalem.” “23 They shall not labor in vain or bear children for calamity, for they shall be the offspring of the blessed of the Lord, and their descendants with them.”
A prayer call for God’s Way (painless and grace without limit)

On the third day after midnight, the watchman was led to a prayer that opened by itself: 1 Chronicles 4:9-10 9 Jabez was more honorable than his brothers; and his mother called his name Jabez, saying, “Because I bore him in pain.” 10 Jabez called upon the God of Israel, saying, “Oh that you would bless me and enlarge my border, and that your hand might be with me, and that you would keep me from harm so that it might not bring me pain!” And God granted what he asked.
A Second Dream: Lord, what about their souls?

He went back to sleep and dreamed of a big place like a religious place he previously attended. It had a big garden compound and many people dressed well and in white attended the activities. He did not know anyone. Like other dreams he always inspected back rooms which no-one bothered much. The doors were faulty. The washrooms were filthy. The kitchen was run down. There were rooms cluttered with broken furniture and useless old stuff, rubbish and cobwebs. He knew the people were not spiritually clean. When the Holy Communion was served, he saw a brother carrying a tray with an idiotic look on his face (like he was charmed under a spell). So the watchman ran away, whilst knowing that he was being singled out for persecution.. When he woke he heard himself crying out, “What about their souls?”
Then he was led to read 2 Peter 1:1-11. Verses that spoke to the watchman included the following. The verse 11 is crucial as it tells how how an entrance into the kingdom of God is made, through the eight qualities.

5 For this very reason, make every effort to supplement your faith with virtue, and virtue with knowledge, 6 and knowledge with self-control, and self-control with steadfastness, and steadfastness with godliness, 7 and godliness with brotherly affection, and brotherly affection with love. 10 Therefore, brothers, be all the more diligent to confirm your calling and election, for if you practice these qualities you will never fall. 11 For in this way there will be richly provided for you an entrance into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

One book with two messages: Jesus -the bright morning star; the messenger of God
He was then led to read Derek Prince’s “Power in the Name” and noted the two chapters that he was asked to read. The author wrote: “The morning star rising in our hearts refers to our inner experience -when we have come to know Him personally and through the revelation of God’s word.” (2 Peter1:16-18)
The messenger: “He who receives you receives Me, and he who receives Me, receives the One who sent Me.” (Matt.10:40) The author wrote: “God comes to us in the form of His messengers.” “He identifies with the one whom He sends to represent Him.” “To reject the messengers of God is a worse sin than Sodom and Gomorrah.”
Journey to see God in Isaiah (chapters 55-58)

1. Seek God’s Way and will succeed: 55:8-11 God spoke: take heed “My thoughts”, “My ways”, “My word”, “My mouth”, “Me”, “I purpose”, “I sent”.
2. With God all things are possible: God gives grace and favor to outcasts. 56:4-5
3. Do not seek your own ways. 58:8-13

Rather train yourself for godliness, Command and teach these things. He was further led to read 1 Timothy 4:6-16.
Journey ended with a prophetic Act: “dress yourself for work”
On the last night, the watchman was led to sleep with all his working clothes and socks on. He was led to pack his two bags and put them next to the exit door. He also had to put his shoes by the side of his bed. He had gone to bed in his sleep clothes but he heard the words, “dress for service’ (for the Lord). So he got up and changed and got everything ready as if he was a soldier or doctor on call, according to the command. He did not feel fearful or anything in the natural. But he knew in the spiritual realm the urgency was real. Only after he returned to his own abode after the journey he opened his little note book and discovered that on the first day, on the bus, he was led to read Jeremiah and wrote down this verse, Jeremiah 1:17 (ESV) “But you, dress yourself for work; arise, and say to them everything that I command you.”
The last day of this journey to see God, was a Sunday morning and he attended a worship service in a church. The pastor preached on “Be ready” to meet the Lord. The verses read and preached were among those he just read during the journey. The preacher/teacher of the word ended with the following: Luke 21:34-36 (ESV) Watch Yourselves
³⁴ “But watch yourselves lest your hearts be weighed down with dissipation and drunkenness and cares of this life, and that day come upon you suddenly like a trap. ³⁵ For it will come upon all who dwell on the face of the whole earth. ³⁶ But stay awake at all times, praying that you may have strength to escape all these things that are going to take place, and to stand before the Son of Man.”

End Times Church Count-down: Fast and Pray, Church!

Esther 3 (KJV)

 ¹After these things did king Ahasuerus promote Haman the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, and advanced him, and set his seat above all the princes that were with him.
 ²And all the king's servants, that were in the king's gate, bowed, and reverenced Haman: for the king had so commanded concerning him. But Mordecai bowed not, nor did him reverence.
 ³Then the king's servants, which were in the king's gate, said unto Mordecai, Why transgressest thou the king's commandment?
 ⁴Now it came to pass, when they spake daily unto him, and he hearkened not unto them, that they told Haman, to see whether Mordecai's matters would stand: for he had told them that he was a Jew.
 ⁵And when Haman saw that Mordecai bowed not, nor did him reverence, then was Haman full of wrath.
 ⁶And he thought scorn to lay hands on Mordecai alone; for they had shewed him the people of Mordecai: wherefore Haman sought to destroy all the Jews that were throughout the whole kingdom of Ahasuerus, even the people of Mordecai.
 ⁷In the first month, that is, the month Nisan, in the twelfth year of king Ahasuerus, they cast Pur, that is, the lot, before Haman from day to day, and from month to month, to the twelfth month, that is, the month Adar.
(Nisan is April. Note the date: 13th April, 2012.)
 ⁸And Haman said unto king Ahasuerus, There is a certain people scattered abroad and dispersed among the people in all the provinces of thy kingdom; and their laws are diverse from all people; neither keep they the king's laws: therefore it is not for the king's profit to suffer them.
 ⁹If it please the king, let it be written that they may be destroyed: and I will pay ten thousand talents of silver to the hands of those that have the charge of the business, to bring it into the king's treasuries.
 ¹⁰And the king took his ring from his hand, and gave it unto Haman the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, the Jews' enemy.
 ¹¹And the king said unto Haman, The silver is given to thee, the people also, to do with them as it seemeth good to thee.
 ¹²Then were the king's scribes called on the thirteenth day of the first month, and there was written according to all that Haman had commanded unto the king's lieutenants, and to the governors that were over every province, and to the rulers of every people of every province according to the writing thereof, and to every people after their language; in the name of king Ahasuerus was it written, and sealed with the king's ring.
 ¹³And the letters were sent by posts into all the king's provinces, to destroy, to kill, and to cause to perish, all Jews, both young and old, little children and women, in one day, even upon the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, which is the month Adar, and to take the spoil of them for a prey.
(Adar is March).
 ¹⁴The copy of the writing for a commandment to be given in every province was published unto all people, that they should be ready against that day.
 ¹⁵The posts went out, being hastened by the king's commandment, and the decree was given in Shushan the palace. And the king and Haman sat down to drink; but the city Shushan was perplexed.

End Times Witnessing: The Holy Spirit conducted today’s Sunday School for the watchman

Early on Sunday morning, around 1:35am the watchman went to pick up someone returning from a Jesus Heal Rally. By the time he got home it was 2:30am and he could not sleep. So he decided to stay up and pray and seek the Lord’s guidance about the day’s class in the afternoon.

He was led to read Joshua 5:2-15 on the Lord’s instructions to Joshua to prepare to lead the Israelites second generation who grew up in the wilderness into the promised land. The preparation was in the following three steps:

1. Joshua was asked to circumcise the entire male population, as a covenant reestablishment ceremony. The watchman was drawn to this verse after they have obeyed, “Then the Lord said to Joshua, “Today I have rolled away the shame of your slavery in Egypt.” (5:9) In the New Testament, Jesus came and took away the shame and bondages of His believers and led them (us) from the kingdom of darkness (Satan’s kingdom) into the kingdom of light (the kingdom of God). Prior to this privilege, one has to repent. The believers of Jesus have to repent first before they receive the kingdom citizenship. (The requirement and power of repentance has been written in the watchman’s previous blogs)

2. The second step was celebrating Passover. The first Passover (Exodus 12:23) was carried out on their last night in bondage under the Egyptians. When the angel of death saw the blood of the lamb on the top and sides of the doorframe of the Israelite homes, he would pass over their homes. In the New Testament, Jesus had shed His blood on the cross for the remission of the sins of many, and He is the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world. When He instituted the Holy Communion for His disciples, He pronounced this over the wine: “This is my blood for the new covenant, which is shed for many, for the remission of sins.”

3. The third step was Joshua’s encounter with the Lord (Jesus), the Commander of the Lord’s Armies. Joshua immediately fell with his face to the ground in reverence and worshipped Him, waiting for the Lord’s instructions. For Christians this is the worship in truth and in Spirit.

The watchman was then led to read the famous Fall of Jericho in Chapter Six. He was asked by the Lord to read all the details of the Lord’s instructions requiring Joshua to lead his people to march round the fortified city of Jericho, and he noted the number of days and times they marched round, those (priests, armed men, and people) who marched, their order of marching, what they carried and did (e.g. the priests marching in the presence of the Lord, blowing the ram horns as they marched, with the Ark of the Lord’s Covenant followed behind, some armed men marched in front of the Ark and some behind). the people were required to shout on the seventh day, seventh round when they heard the long blast of horns and when Joshua commanded, “Shout! For the Lord has given you the town!” When Joshua and his people obeyed, indeed Jericho walls collapsed, and the Israelites charged straight into the town and captured it. (6:20) “They completely destroyed everything in it with their swords.” (6:21)

After reading this and praying for sometime he went to bed. When he woke he took Holy Communion and was led to read Peter’s account in Acts 11:9 “Do not call anything unclean if God has made it clean.” 11:17 “And since God gave these Gentiles the same gift He gave us when we believed in the Lord Jesus Christ, who was I to stand in God’s way?” 11:18 “We can see that God has also given the Gentiles the privilege of repenting of their sins and receiving eternal life.” The verses prompted him to repent for himself and his family for not being sensitive to the Lord’s heart to save all. Jesus’ blood was shed for many for the forgiveness of sins.

When he reached the church an intercessor leader suddenly requested a sister to lead the congregation to repent. However, when the worship leader came in he did not know this and he went ahead and started the worship. He sang in the Spirit and then led one song. Before the Holy Communion he asked the watchman to pray the opening prayer. the watchman had earlier received in his spirit that the day’s worship is to reveal the Father’s heart. The sister who was supposed to lead the repentance prayer nudged him and whispered, “Repentance!” He obeyed and started with words of repentance and subsequent words just gushed out like never before. He heard amens. He remembered what he read earlier in Acts. He saw the Father’s heart unfolding His love for many, indeed, the lost multitudes out there, outside the walls of the churches, and the living dead in churches. He also prayed from Ephesians 4:3-5, using words like “one body, one Spirit, one Lord, one baptism, one God and Father”.

After the opening prayer, they had Holy Communion. The sister who interpreted the leader’s English words omitted important words like ‘Blood”, “Jesus”, ‘Cross”. The watchman had to interrupt and cried out the correct words which he believed were all crucial for the majority of the congregation who do not understand English to partake the Holy Communion correctly. He did not have time for decorum at that moment. There was an urgency in his spirit and he knew something important was going to happen.

When they resumed worship the leader led them to sing a song of marching. “We are marhcing in the light of God”. A number of the congregation were carrying big flags and most others carried small flags. One sister came and asked him whether they should march round and he said yes. So they started marching with their ram horns and flags, urging the rest of the congregation to join them. As the congregation sang and marched round, ram horns were being blown. Then the song leader led the song “Shout for joy, God’s people…for the Lord has given this land to you”. So the congregation marched, blew ram horns and shouted at the point when the song leader sang “Shout for Joy!”

Later, at the afternoon class, as the watchman shared with the participants how he was led to read Joshua chapters 5-6 early in the morning, he put all the pieces together and realized in amazement that the Lord had actually let him see the whole worship event through Joshua 5-6 about 7-8 hours before it happened. In fact the following worship sequence today was exactly as what was written in the two chapters!

1. Repentance Prayer (the act of circumcision at Gilgal)

2. Holy Communion- the body and blood of Jesus (the taking of the Passover Lamb)

3. Worship in Spirit and in Truth (Joshua’s Encounter with the Lord -the Commander of the Lord’s Armies- and his worshipful prostrating himself before the Lord)

4. Marching songs sung and actual marching procession with ram horns, flags and shouting by the congregation (Jericho march).

It was indeed awesome. In answer to his early morning prayer on how to conduct his class and what to teach today, the Lord has used the worship service to demonstrate to him how a class should be taught. First he was shown the Bible truth. Then he witnessed the practical application. He has to admit later that only the Holy Spirit could mobilize the leaders and the congregation to flow exactly according to the Word of God that morning!

For the first time since many months ago, there was a breakthrough in today’s afternoon class. In the sleepiest hours after lunch, the eyes of the participants were wide open and the participative and interactive learning was led by the Lord’s Spirit. Afterall, the walls in each individual’s heart had already been pulled down that morning during the march!

End Times Witnessing: Watch face and death of a watchman

The watchman woke today and realized that the turning of his watch face by one quarter has coincided with the recent death of a watchman for this century. A quarter of End Times has passed.


The time in the spiritual realm is not for humans to speculate, not even watchmen who see signs and hear God. No one knows how the Lord sets His time and how His time counts down at the end. The watchman can only read signs and asks the Holy Spirit to reveal an answer or answers, with further confirmations in His words and other signs.

The watchman however remains alert and keeps his eyes open. Today he shared his notes with another watchman. The other watchman came back with this question: “Could he be one of the two witnesses in Revelation?”


If that is the case, then another witness’ death will remove another quarter of the time. All that will be left then will be the half time!

Note: Another confirmation came in the form of a headline on the front page (sports section) of one foreign national newspapers that declared (translation from the original language): “Snatch for the 19th crown overtaking Red Army TODAY!” “Red Devil to rise to top Count Down Time“! (see the picture at the end of this blog!)

Here is the passage from Prophet Isaiah for TODAY:


Isaiah 8:11-22

Fear God, Heed His Word


11 For the LORD spoke thus to me with a strong hand, and instructed me that I should not walk in the way of this people, saying:
(NLT: "The Lord has given me a strong warning not to think like everyone else does. He said,")

12 “ Do not say, ‘A conspiracy,’

Concerning all that this people call a conspiracy,

Nor be afraid of their threats, nor be troubled.


13 The LORD of hosts, Him you shall hallow;


Let Him be your fear,


And let Him be your dread.

14 He will be as a sanctuary,

But a stone of stumbling and a rock of offense

To both the houses of Israel,

As a trap and a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem.

15 And many among them shall stumble;

They shall fall and be broken,

Be snared and taken.”

16 Bind up the testimony,

Seal the law among my disciples.

17 And I will wait on the LORD,

Who hides His face from the house of Jacob;

And I will hope in Him.

18 Here am I and the children whom the LORD has given me!


We are for signs and wonders in Israel

From the LORD of hosts,

Who dwells in Mount Zion.

19 And when they say to you, “Seek those who are mediums and wizards, who whisper and mutter,” should not a people seek their God? Should they seek the dead on behalf of the living? 20 To the law and to the testimony! If they do not speak according to this word, it is because there is no light in them.

21 They will pass through it hard-pressed and hungry; and it shall happen, when they are hungry, that they will be enraged and curse their king and their God, and look upward. 22 Then they will look to the earth, and see trouble and darkness, gloom of anguish; and they will be driven into darkness.
 
Isaiah 9:1-2
The Government of the Promised Son


1 Nevertheless the gloom will not be upon her who is distressed,

As when at first He lightly esteemed

The land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali,

And afterward more heavily oppressed her,

By the way of the sea, beyond the Jordan,

In Galilee of the Gentiles.

2 The people who walked in darkness

Have seen a great light;

Those who dwelt in the land of the shadow of death,

Upon them a light has shined.

The original sports front page (of May 14th 2011) with the headlines that include words: ‘TODAY’, ‘RED DEVIL’, COUNT DOWN TIME’, ‘SNATCH’, ‘RISE TO THE TOP’

End Times Witnessing: Count down started on watchman’s watch face

The watchman woke up on Monday (May 8^th 2011) and was shocked to see his watch had its face turn upside down. The number 12 was at the bottom and the number 6 was on top of his watch face. But the time (as expressed by the hour and minute hands) was running perfectly!
He has not dropped it or exposed it to any shocks but the figures on the watch mysteriously changed positions during the night. He tried to wear the watch the opposite way for 2 days after which he decided to wear it the usual way. However, he discovered that the face had since changed to the direction which is evident in the above picture (taken at 2:40pm; 14:40).  The dates are running backward. For example, instead of going forward to the next day, say, from 12^th to 13^th, the date went backward from 12^th to 11^th and then 10^th and so on. The frightening part is that the date changes fast as if the minutes are now counted as hours and days are being accelerated to run out (thus shortened)!

This is not a nightmare. This is a sign of the open visions that the watchman has asked for. However instead of visions he has received actual physical signs, e.g words ‘projected’ (from nowhere), actual appearance of one ‘human being’, light rays, pictures that stand out by themselves out of the bigger pictures. Many are real physical things except for the words and the one ‘human being’.

In one case, he accompanied someone to a meeting at a large church and saw a man dressed complete in Western (like cowboy clothes and boots) bending down on the altar with his backside facing the audience. He knew it could not be a real man. He thought the church had put some clothings and boots there which position made it look like a real irreverent man. He asked the other person to look but that person said there was nothing unusual and there were only two drums at that place! The watchman could not see any drums as that bent man was blocking. The bent man remained there through out the whole worship and preaching service. The following night he saw that truly there were only two drums where the man was! (That church was the same one in which he had once seen vision of two Red Indian chiefs with war head gears and battle axe standing on the new multi-million dollars car park scaffolding).

Today he asked the Lord what his watch means. The message he has received is the urgent Word “TODAY”! He is urged to share the following Bible verses with you as time is running down.

HEBREWS 3

⁷Therefore, as the Holy Spirit says: Today, if you will hear His voice,

⁸Do not harden your hearts, as [happened] in the rebellion [of Israel] and their provocation and ^[a]embitterment [of Me] in the day of testing in the wilderness,

⁹Where your fathers tried [My patience] and tested [My forbearance] and ^[b]found I stood their test, and they saw My works for forty years.

¹⁰And so I was provoked (displeased and sorely grieved) with that generation, and said, They always err and are led astray in their hearts, and they have not perceived or recognized My ways and become progressively better and more experimentally and intimately acquainted with them.

¹¹Accordingly, I swore in My wrath and indignation, They shall not enter into My rest.^©

¹²[Therefore beware] brethren, take care, lest there be in any one of you a wicked, unbelieving heart [which refuses to cleave to, trust in, and rely on Him], leading you to turn away and desert or stand aloof from the living God.

¹³But instead warn (admonish, urge, and encourage) one another every day, as long as it is called Today, that none of you may be hardened [into settled rebellion] by the deceitfulness of sin [by the fraudulence, the stratagem, the trickery which the delusive glamor of his sin may play on him].

¹⁴For we ^[c]have become fellows with Christ (the Messiah) and share in all He has for us, if only we hold our first newborn confidence and original assured expectation [in virtue of which we are believers] firm and unshaken to the end.

¹⁵Then while it is [still] called Today, if you would hear His voice and when you hear it, do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion [in the desert, when the people provoked and irritated and embittered God against them].^(D)

¹⁶For who were they who heard and yet were rebellious and provoked [Him]? Was it not all those who came out of Egypt led by Moses?

¹⁷And with whom was He irritated and provoked and grieved for forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, whose ^[d]dismembered bodies were strewn and left in the desert?

¹⁸And to whom did He swear that they should not enter His rest, but to those who disobeyed [who had not listened to His word and who refused to be compliant or be persuaded]?

¹⁹So we see that they were not able to enter [into His rest], because of their unwillingness to adhere to and trust in and rely on God [unbelief had shut them out].^(E)

[Comment by watchman: they had been saved out of Egypt, meaning from unbelievers to believers! Yet, they became rebellious and provoked God. Who were they? They were the ones who sinned, disobeyed and had not listened to God’s word. ]

“Therefore, as the Holy Spirit says: Today, if you will hear His voice, Do not harden your hearts!”


“Then while it is [still] called Today, if you would hear His voice and when you hear it, do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion!”

End Times Witnessing: Narrow Gate Plumbline -Jeremiah 23: Judgment on False Prophets

How prophet Jeremiah had lamented. The same message is still relevant today. Just substitute the word ‘prophet’ with ‘whoever’ who preaches or teaches in our churches today. Use the plumbline of the Bible and take heed what Jesus said about false religious leaders and teachers/preachers.


O watchman, watch and pray…the end times count down clock is running!

Jeremiah 23

9 My heart is broken because of the false prophets,

and my bones tremble.

I stagger like a drunkard,

like someone overcome by wine,

because of the holy words

the Lord has spoken against them.

10 For the land is full of adultery,

and it lies under a curse.

The land itself is in mourning—

its wilderness pastures are dried up.

For they all do evil

and abuse what power they have.



11 “Even the priests and prophets

are ungodly, wicked men.

I have seen their despicable acts

right here in my own Temple,”

says the Lord.

12 “Therefore, the paths they take

will become slippery.

They will be chased through the dark,

and there they will fall.

For I will bring disaster upon them

at the time fixed for their punishment.

I, the Lord, have spoken!



13 “I saw that the prophets of Samaria were terribly evil,

for they prophesied in the name of Baal

and led my people of Israel into sin.

14 But now I see that the prophets of Jerusalem are even worse!

They commit adultery and love dishonesty.

They encourage those who are doing evil

so that no one turns away from their sins.

These prophets are as wicked

as the people of Sodom and Gomorrah once were.”



15 Therefore, this is what the Lord of Heaven’s Armies says concerning the prophets:



“I will feed them with bitterness

and give them poison to drink.

For it is because of Jerusalem’s prophets

that wickedness has filled this land.”



16 This is what the Lord of Heaven’s Armies says to his people:



“Do not listen to these prophets when they prophesy to you,

filling you with futile hopes.

They are making up everything they say.

They do not speak for the Lord!

17 They keep saying to those who despise my word,

‘Don’t worry! The Lord says you will have peace!’

And to those who stubbornly follow their own desires,

they say, ‘No harm will come your way!’



18 “Have any of these prophets been in the Lord’s presence

to hear what he is really saying?

Has even one of them cared enough to listen?

19 Look! The Lord’s anger bursts out like a storm,

a whirlwind that swirls down on the heads of the wicked.

20 The anger of the Lord will not diminish

until it has finished all he has planned.

In the days to come

you will understand all this very clearly.



21 “I have not sent these prophets,

yet they run around claiming to speak for me.

I have given them no message,

yet they go on prophesying.

22 If they had stood before me and listened to me,

they would have spoken my words,

and they would have turned my people

from their evil ways and deeds.

23 Am I a God who is only close at hand?” says the Lord.

“No, I am far away at the same time.

24 Can anyone hide from me in a secret place?

Am I not everywhere in all the heavens and earth?”

says the Lord.



25 “I have heard these prophets say, ‘Listen to the dream I had from God last night.’ And then they proceed to tell lies in my name. 26 How long will this go on? If they are prophets, they are prophets of deceit, inventing everything they say. 27 By telling these false dreams, they are trying to get my people to forget me, just as their ancestors did by worshiping the idols of Baal.



28 “Let these false prophets tell their dreams,

but let my true messengers faithfully proclaim my every word.

There is a difference between straw and grain!

29 Does not my word burn like fire?”

says the Lord.

“Is it not like a mighty hammer

that smashes a rock to pieces?



30 “Therefore,” says the Lord, “I am against these prophets who steal messages from each other and claim they are from me. 31 I am against these smooth-tongued prophets who say, ‘This prophecy is from the Lord!’ 32 I am against these false prophets. Their imaginary dreams are flagrant lies that lead my people into sin. I did not send or appoint them, and they have no message at all for my people. I, the Lord have spoken!



False Prophecies and False Prophets



33 “Suppose one of the people or one of the prophets or priests asks you, ‘What prophecy has the Lord burdened you with now?’ You must reply, ‘You are the burden![c] The Lord says he will abandon you!’

34 “If any prophet, priest, or anyone else says, ‘I have a prophecy from the Lord,’ I will punish that person along with his entire family. 35 You should keep asking each other, ‘What is the Lord’s answer?’ or ‘What is the Lord saying?’ 36 But stop using this phrase, ‘prophecy from the Lord.’ For people are using it to give authority to their own ideas, turning upside down the words of our God, the living God, the Lord of Heaven’s Armies.



37 “This is what you should say to the prophets: ‘What is the Lord’s answer?’ or ‘What is the Lord saying?’ 38 But suppose they respond, ‘This is a prophecy from the Lord!’ Then you should say, ‘This is what the Lord says: Because you have used this phrase, “prophecy from the Lord,” even though I warned you not to use it, 39 I will forget you completely. I will expel you from my presence, along with this city that I gave to you and your ancestors. 40 And I will make you an object of ridicule, and your name will be infamous throughout the ages.’”

The beginning of sorrows: the future is here! (Revised after Tsunami and nuclear radiation fear)

When the blog below was first posted, the watchman did not realise that in less than a month’s time, more devastating pains and sorrows would hit Asia-Pacific. When he reviewed some of his former blogs he discovered that God is indeed awesome. Another intercessor saw the vision of tsunami waves crashing onto and swept over multi-storey buildings, as she was standing on a tower interceding, about the same time the watchman saw further revelation of the ‘nuclear winter’ at the beginning of this year. They never thought the two visions linked to each other and would happen within two months. But they happened. Although what happened in Japan had not led to a massive global neclear winter, it was bad enough as many lives had already perished and many more are hanging in the unknown and uncertain darkness and fearfulness.


O watchmen round the globe, intercede!!


_____________The original Post is as follows:
The watchman woke to hear that “the future is here!” Luke 21: The Signs of the Times and the End of the Age 7 So they asked Him, saying, “Teacher, but when will these things be? And what sign will there be when these things are about to take place?” 8 And He said: “Take heed that you not be deceived. For many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am He,’ and, ‘The time has drawn near.’ Therefore[b] do not go after them. 9 But when you hear of wars … Read More

Days after Quakes and Tsunami: “Never Let me Go”

A sixty year old Japanese man was rescued from a piece of floating roof after two days. He told the rescuers that he had lost his wife.



The watchman once got to know someone through sharing the same interest of reading books written by Kazuo Ishiguro . Here are some quotes from Kazuo Ishiguro. The excerpts are from “Never let me go” (2005) and “The remains of the day” (winner of the Booker Prize, 1989)


Quotes_____________

“I keep thinking about this river somewhere, with the water moving really fast. And these two people in the water, trying to hold onto each other, holding on as hard as they can, but in the end it’s just too much. The current’s too strong. They’ve got to let go, drift apart. That’s how it is with us. It’s a shame, Kath, because we’ve loved each other all our lives. But in the end, we can’t stay together forever.” (Never Let me go)

”Memories, even your most precious ones, fade surprisingly quickly. But I don’t go along with that. The memories I value most, I don’t ever see them fading.”

“You say you’re sure? Sure that you’re in love? How can you know it? You think love is so simple? “

“The evening’s the best part of the day. You’ve done your day’s work. Now you can put your feet up and enjoy it.”

“Sometimes I get so immersed in my own company, if I unexpectedly run into someone I know, it’s a bit of a shock and takes me a while to adjust.”

“What can we ever gain in forever looking back and blaming ourselves if our lives have not turned out quite as we might have wished? The hard reality is, surely, that for the likes of you and I, there is little choice other than to leave our fate, ultimately, in the hands of those great gentlemen at the hub of this world who employ our services. What is the point in worrying oneself too much about what one could or could not have done to control the course one’s life took? Surely it is enough that the likes of you and I at least try to make our small contribution count for something true and worthy. And if some of us are prepared to sacrifice much in life in order to pursue such aspirations, surely that is in itself, whatever the outcome, cause for pride and contentment.” (The remains of the day)

“It had never occurred to me that our lives, which had been so closely interwoven, could unravel with such speed.”

“Indeed — why should I not admit it? — in that moment, my heart was breaking.”

“…and I half closed my eyes and imagined this was the spot where everything I’d ever lost since my childhood had washed up, and I was now standing here in front of it, and if I waited long enough, a tiny figure would appear on the horizon across the field and gradually get larger until I’d see it was Tommy, and he’d wave, and maybe even call.” (Never Let me go)

“Your life must now run the course that’s been set for it.”

“Memory is quite central for me. Part of it is that I like the actual texture of writing through memory…”

“When we lost something precious, and we’d looked and looked and still couldn’t find it, then we didn’t have to be completely heartbroken. We still had that last bit of comfort, thinking one day, when we grow up, and we were free to travel around the counry, we would always go and find it in Norfolk…And that’s why years and years later, that day Tommy and I found another copy of that lost tape of mine in a town on the Norfolk coast, we didn’t just think it pretty funny; we both felt deep down some tug, some old wish to believe again in something that was once close to our hearts.”

“The problem, as I see it, is that you’ve been told and not told. You’ve been told, but none of you really understand, and I dare say, some people are quite happy to leave it that way.”


“There was another life that I might have had, but I am having this one.”

“As a writer, I’m more interested in what people tell themselves happened rather than what actually happened”

“You’re always in a rush, or else you’re too exhausted to have a proper conversation. Soon enough, the long hours, the traveling, the broken sleep have all crept into your being and become part of you, so everyone can see it, in your posture, your gaze, the way you move and talk.” (Don’t we all?)

end times church countdown: visions for the night

During the last conference for intercessor the watchman saw gloomy night visions about end times. He duly recorded the pictures which he summarised as follows for other intercessor watchmen.

1. 2 night scenes of rows of tall trees thickly linked to each other along the side of a road and a slope respectively. These are trees of righteousness planted by the Lord (Isa.61:3)

2. 2 scenes of entrances to underground tunnels with a few people walking toward the entrances.

3. 2 night scenes of a man looking from a valley with steep slopes on both sides. One scene showed the slopes as dark but the sky beyond the valley was of white light. Another scene showed the slopes as of white light but the night sky beyond the valley was pitch dark. (Isa.21:12)

4. An indoor scene: inside a big empty hall lined and packed with rows of empty chairs (like a run down theatre) with one or two persons or spirits(?) standing around. (The watchman’s spirit knew that it was an ex-mega church at end times. The members had deserted back into the world during the rule of the beast as they had never learned to live supernaturally without the worldly system). Then he heard a clear reminder: “There is no such thing as being a ‘BYSTANDER’. You are either in or out.”

5. 2 snow scenes: one view was from indoor looking through the window. It was bleak and void of lives out there. In another scene he could only see the heads of a few people sticking out of the snow.

6. On more cheerful note, he saw scene of buttery yellow/golden fluid flowing down all walls when the anointing of the Holy Spirit poured (at that time, the speaker confirmed his vision by asking all participants to lift up their hands to receive the anointing). In another session he saw cosmic activity in the heavenly realm in various shades of purple flowing like thick fluid. It was indeed an awesome sight, confirming the greatness of our God and the might of His hands.

Note: The theme of the teaching during the conference was on Revelation 12 and Daniel 12.

Isaiah 21:12 12 The watchman said,

“ The morning comes, and also the night.

If you will inquire, inquire;

Return! Come back!”

End Time Faith in Action: Follow the Lord’s example

The Lord Yeshua says things in a very simple and precise way when He preached the Gospel, healed and delivered the afflicted and sick. He does not waste words, as demonstrated below in the Gospel recorded by Mark.

1:15 He spoke to all: “The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand. Repent, and believe in the gospel!”

1:17 He spoke to the disciples: “Follow Me, and I will make you become fishers of men.”

1:25 He cut short the evil spirit in a man in the synagogue: “Be quiet, and come out of him!”

1:41 He responded with compassion to the leper who knelt down before Him asking to be cleansed (healed): “I am willing; be cleansed.”

2:5 When he saw the friends’ faith, he spoke to the paralytic: “Son, your sins ar forgiven you.” v11 ”I say to you, arise, take up your bed and go to your house.” The man was healed instantly.

3:3,5 He said to the man with a withered hand in the synagogue: “Step forward.” “Stretch out your hand.” As he stretched it out the hand was restored.

4:39 He rebuked and calmed the great windstorm and roaring waves: “Peace, be still.” The wind ceased and there was a great calm.

5:8 He delivered the man with two thousands demons: “Come out of the man, unclean spirit!”

5:34 He reassured the woman who had been healed of her bleeding ailment (of 12 years) just be touching His garment: “Daughter, your faith has made you well. Go in peace, and be healed of your affliction.”

5:41 he reaised a dead child from the dead: “Little girl, I say to you, arise.” Immediatey the girl arose and walked.

He gave the disciples power and authority to do the same. 6:12-13 “So they went out and preached that people should repent. And they cast out many demons, and anointed with oil many who were sick and healed them all.”

Mark 16:15-18

And He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. 16 He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned. 17 And these signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues; 18 they will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.” 20 And they went out and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them and confirming the word through the accompanying signs.

_____Acts 1:8 Yeshua says: “But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.”___________

Thus, end time faith in action for all believers should be just like the above: preach the Good News to everyone, with miraculous signs accompanying those who believe. The accomplishment is not by force, not be strength, but by the Holy Spirit! (Zechariah 4:6)

End Times Church Survival Kits: five more prayer weapons!

During the week, the watchman has received daily revelation of verses that showed him many different prayer weapons. They turned out to be the end times survival kits as well!


He has briefly discussed the first three prayer weapons in a previous blog. Here he would list five further weapons. However, readers need the Holy Spirit to decode, understand and know how to use them. Only the spiritually discerned will understand matters (mysteries) pertaining to the Spirit. (“We speak words given to us by the Spirit, using the Spirit’s words to explain spiritual truth.” “Only those who are spiritual understand what the Spirit means.” 1Cor.2:13-14)

The Fourth Weapon: “Set your sight on the realities of heaven” “Think of the things of heaven.” The verses are from Colossians 3:1-2 and the rest of the chapter.

The Fifth Weapon: All Scripture makes us realize what is wrong, corrects us when we are wrong; teaches us what is true, teaches us to do what is right. (2 Tim.3:16)

The Sixth Weapon: The Wall of Fire. Zechariah 2:5 “Then I, myself, will be a protective wall of fire around Jerusalem, says the Lord. And I will be the glory inside the city!” Exodus 14;24 “But just before dawn the Lord looked down on the Egyptian army from the pillar of fire and cloud, and he threw their forces into total confusion.”

The Seventh Weapon: The Power of the name of God (pray in the name of Jesus). John 17:11 “Holy Father, You have given Me Your name. Now protect them by the power of your name so that they will be united just as we are.” 15 “Keep them safe from the evil one.” Read the whole chapter.

The Eight Weapon: “Command” and “Boundary“. read Jobs 38-41.

O church watchman, be spiritual! There is no option. The Holy Spirit is the only key to survival in end times.

watchman’s Adventure: meaning of the roof top dream revealed

The watchman knew that his roof top dream still needs to be interpreted as he could not find peace when he sought the Lord today. So he asked the Lord what it means. Then he was told to read Isaiah 22 carefully. So he obeyed. Indeed he was given this passage yesterday but he did not read it. He merely glanced at the verse which described people went up the roof.

When he read the passage carefully and completely he understood what the Lord was saying to him. The description of the people on the roof, continuing to feast on meat and drink wine, dance and play, not showing any remorse, not weeping and mourning in sorrow for their sins, depending on their own military strength instead of returning to enquire of the Lord and seek the Lord’s help etc. were exactly what was displayed in the dream!

It was so real and frightening. So he repented for his own omission to be alert immediately after that dream and asked the Lord what it meant and started interceding instantly and faithfully. He knew now he was supposed to do the intercessor job and yet he was so busily engrossed over something else.

The lesson he learns is that for a watchman intercessor the first thing the Lord wants is that he pays attention to the Lord’s message and intercedes for others’ needs without delay. He is not to assume that the dream is related to himself and put it aside. Today after his session he relaxed and looked out of his window and admired the beautiful leaves. But he was told to close his eyes and when he obeyed he saw a colorless bleak scene. The message was, “Watchman, be alert as this is how the real world looks, in the unseen!”

PRAYER FOR ISRAEL

The nation of Israel is under prolonged drought. The following is an excerpt from a source: ” Fresh water supply has reduced in size by 25 percent in the last five years. Israel has created innovative solutions to combat the consequences of the drought. For example, Feinerman attests that 50 percent of the water that Israel uses for agricultural purposes, which above another other use demands the most water, is recycled water. This percentage is far above that of any other country in the world. Other techniques Israel uses to compensate for the lack of fresh water include desalination and conservation. “

Here is ANOTHER EXCERPT from another source on praying for the water crisis in Israel:

Quote “ November 18th was declared by the Chief Rabbi to be a day of prayer and fasting for rain which is desperately needed in Israel. The prayers brought together the Ashkenazai and Sepphardic leaders as they agreed to repent for the sins of the people in not following the Lord.

But the land which you go to possess� drinks water of the rain of heaven: a land which LORD your God desires. The eyes of LORD your God are always upon it� and it shall come to pass, if you hearken diligently unto My commandments which I command you this day, to love LORD your God, to serve Him with all your heart and� soul, that I will give you the rain of your land in his due season� Deuteronomy 11:11-14a

Lord, although according to the above verses, You could withhold the water from this nation, yet we stand in the gap asking for mercy. We plead with You to send Your rain in abundance this winter season. You promised to even create new water sources. We ask that You do just that so that You will receive the glory.

When the poor and needy seek water, and there is none�, I LORD will hear them, I the God of Israel will not forsake them. I will open rivers in high places, and fountains in the midst of the valleys: I will make the wilderness a pool of water, the dry land springs of water� That they may see, and know, consider, and understand together, that the hand of LORD has done this, the Holy One of Israel has created it. Isaiah 41:17-20

Reveal to us if there is something specific You would have us pray concerning this issue. We trust in You alone to provide for Your people whom You have brought home.” (unquote)

Isaiah 22


A Message about Jerusalem

1 This message came to me concerning Jerusalem—the Valley of Vision[a]: What is happening?

Why is everyone running to the rooftops?

2 The whole city is in a terrible uproar.

What do I see in this reveling city?

Bodies are lying everywhere,


killed not in battle but by famine and disease.

3 All your leaders have fled.

They surrendered without resistance.

The people tried to slip away,

but they were captured, too.

4 That’s why I said, “Leave me alone to weep;

do not try to comfort me.

Let me cry for my people

as I watch them being destroyed.”

5 Oh, what a day of crushing defeat!

What a day of confusion and terror

brought by the Lord, the Lord of Heaven’s Armies,

upon the Valley of Vision!

The walls of Jerusalem have been broken,

and cries of death echo from the mountainsides.

6 Elamites are the archers,

with their chariots and charioteers.

The men of Kir hold up the shields.

7 Chariots fill your beautiful valleys,

and charioteers storm your gates.

8 Judah’s defenses have been stripped away.

You run to the armory[b] for your weapons.

9 You inspect the breaks in the walls of Jerusalem.[c]

You store up water in the lower pool.

10 You survey the houses and tear some down

for stone to strengthen the walls.

11 Between the city walls, you build a reservoir

for water from the old pool.

But you never ask for help from the One who did all this.


You never considered the One who planned this long ago.

12 At that time the Lord, the Lord of Heaven’s Armies,

called you to weep and mourn.


He told you to shave your heads in sorrow for your sins


and to wear clothes of burlap to show your remorse.


13 But instead, you dance and play;


you slaughter cattle and kill sheep.

You feast on meat and drink wine.

You say, “Let’s feast and drink,

for tomorrow we die!”

14 The Lord of Heaven’s Armies has revealed this to me: “Till the day you die, you will never be forgiven for this sin.” That is the judgment of the Lord, the Lord of Heaven’s Armies.

End Times Church Countdown: Calling Retired Watchmen!

Again, the watchman is led to the same Old Way, “Enter through the narrow gate!” There had been many visions and dreams and words of confirmation lately. Just as Daniel had prophesied, a time, times and half a time seem rushing in…He recalled the first vision of Jesus who came to him in a hurry, handing out a scroll to him.

He could not believe when he heard himself praying recently. Yes, he was praying for faraway nations and people whom he had never met. One morning during his intercession in the prayer house, he was close to tears when he suddenly recalled a vision he saw a year ago of blood and fire sweeping through that vast ancient land like avalanche.

Lord, Lord, there are so few of us and so vast a sea to salvage…he felt completely helpless when he realized that the recent two dreams of three dysfunctional churches he heard from someone aptly described churches in that ancient land he saw a year ago in his dream.

Indeed he has known this for quite sometime. People of God had been crying day and night for the Word of God. But he has wished that many others would hear and go instead of him alone.

When Prophet Elijah had practically worn out himself trying to flee from his tormentor, the Lord told him that He had in fact preserved 7000 like Elijah in a small nation like Israel. In short, the Lord has multiple backup plan.

Thus, one morning the watchman cried out as hope surged in his heart, O Lord, raise the Elijah and Ezra currently hiding (resting) in their respective hamlets (peaceful retirement), wake them from their hibernation now please!

He has taken to blowing his ram horn towards the four corners of the earth. O, retired watchmen, wake up, arise, shine! Surely some (the Caleb of watchmen) will hear the call and respond. Surely he would not be blowing in vain. Ezra had called and a group of Levites, led by Sherebiah responded with his sons and brothers (18 of them), and others too.

The Lord’s gracious hand was upon Ezra when he obeyed his calling. Yes, the Lord’s gracious hand is still working mightily today!


Ezekiel 3

1 And he said to me, “Son of man, eat what is before you, eat this scroll; then go and speak to the house of Israel.” 2 So I opened my mouth, and he gave me the scroll to eat.
3 Then he said to me, “Son of man, eat this scroll I am giving you and fill your stomach with it.” So I ate it, and it tasted as sweet as honey in my mouth.
4 He then said to me: “Son of man, go now to the house of Israel and speak my words to them. 5 You are not being sent to a people of obscure speech and difficult language, but to the house of Israel- 6 not to many peoples of obscure speech and difficult language, whose words you cannot understand. Surely if I had sent you to them, they would have listened to you. 7 But the house of Israel is not willing to listen to you because they are not willing to listen to me, for the whole house of Israel is hardened and obstinate. 8 But I will make you as unyielding and hardened as they are. 9 I will make your forehead like the hardest stone, harder than flint. Do not be afraid of them or terrified by them, though they are a rebellious house.”
10 And he said to me, “Son of man, listen carefully and take to heart all the words I speak to you. 11 Go now to your countrymen in exile and speak to them. Say to them, ‘This is what the Sovereign LORD says,’ whether they listen or fail to listen.”

Ezekiel 22:30
30 “I looked for a man among them who would build up the wall and stand before me in the gap on behalf of the land so I would not have to destroy it, but I found none.
Ezra 8

Ezra’s Journey to Jerusalem

15 I assembled the exiles at the Ahava Canal, and we camped there for three days while I went over the lists of the people and the priests who had arrived. I found that not one Levite had volunteered to come along.18 Since the gracious hand of our God was on us, they sent us a man named Sherebiah, along with eighteen of his sons and brothers. He was a very astute man and a descendant of Mahli, who was a descendant of Levi son of Israel.

End Times Church count-down: one wedding, three venues, a bride-to-be

A LIFE TESTIMONY

A lay believer since 1985 has been faithfully seeking and worshiping the Lord closely, reading the Bible, attending church services, serving in various capacities. During the last five years she personally witnessed and experienced the power of the Holy Spirit (in healing and deliverance) following the preaching of the Word of God.

Recently she asked the Lord to give her visions and dreams. Two nights ago she responded to a pastor’s altar call to receive fresh and more anointing of the Holy Spirit.

The same night she had a detailed dream. On the following night she had another detailed dream. Both dreams are on the theme of WEDDING, which will take place THE NEXT DAY, AND SHE (THE BRIDE) WAS NOT READY!!!

THE FIRST DREAM

She dreamed that she was getting ready for her WEDDING which will take place THE NEXT DAY and the two of them went to see two seaside cottages to rent one for the wedding.

The first venue: this is a tiny one room shack and there is one bed in the center of the room. A man was sleeping on it. He opened his eyes and he did not bother to get up. He was not that interested in the use of his place for the wedding. The room is very untidy and there are rubbish around. So the couple decided that this place is not suitable for the wedding. There is no time to clear the rubbish and tidy up the room.
The second venue: this is a more spacious cottage. A lady in her sixties is in charge. She was pleasant and friendly and was interested in renting out her place for the wedding. Her place is clean and furnished but the furniture are old and need to be replaced. She said she had five children and all had grown up and left. Only one son (her favorite) called her daily and kept in touch. However her children let her bring up all the grandchildren and she had brought up a lot and they all had left when grown up. Three infants were int he house. One was carried by a dark (foreign) maid. Another two were lying in a cot. The two were the surviving of sextuplets (of whom four died at birth). They had deformed facial features so severe that the couple thought these babies needed surgery when grown up. There was an altar with incense burning for foreign god at the wall facing the entrance. The old lady showed the couple a drawing block on which she had been asked by her favorite son to practice drawing (more like stick-on crafts) of pictures (like butterflies but not butterflies etc) and English words. She seemed happy doing such laborious childish and meaningless tasks.

The couple at first thought they could use this place for the wedding only and not to stay overnight as they needed to go back to work after the wedding day. They also thought of going to buy new furnitures as the present ones were not suitable. They thought of giving the old lady the new furniture as gift after the wedding. Then the bride realized that it would be easier to use a hotel reception than using such a remote and unready place. She also realized that she was already married and wondered why she needed to go through the wedding again. She woke feeling puzzled.

THE SECOND DREAM:

On the second night she dreamed of another wedding scene. Again she was GETTING MARRIED THE NEXT DAY and she was back to her old childhood home. It was a big house with old and young and lots of normal daily activities going on but none related to preparation of a wedding. No one seemed to be aware of or interested in the next day’s wedding. The house was not decorated and no one seemed to care. The following then happened:

1. She went into the toilet and saw a lot of long dresses hanging there. It was totally clustered from ceiling to floor. On top of the toilet bowl a long red dress was dripping onto the toilet seat drops of red dyes.

2. She looked out of the window and saw her grandmother and her elder brother were walking in the garden. They examined the plants and noted that the lady fingers were too old and could not be eaten. So the brother said that they should be cut down and thrown away.

3. Then she looked into the mirror and saw that she had white hair patches and needed to dye them. She also realized that she had not bought her wedding gown. So she drove alone (as she could not find any friend to go with her) and rushed to town to shop for her wedding.  On arrival she went to a room and saw the groom (an old high school mate whom she hardly knew)already getting almost ready, with wedding suits and hairdo etc.). Whilst she wondered why she was to marry this stranger, she noted that he was ready but she was not ready so she rushed out for her shopping.

4. She walked for a long time and could not find any shops selling wedding gowns.She noted that she was carrying several bundles of cash and car key in a bag casually slung on her shoulder and started to worry someone might come and snatch it from her. She reminded herself she should be careful with her valuables and hold it near to her chest.

5. The shops were all ancient and sold food or other ordinary provisions. There was no shop that sold wedding gown. She thought of calling the groom and ask for the address of a shop that sold wedding gowns. So she switched on her hand phone but pressed the wrong button. A screen came on with lots of numbers. One number kept changing. She thought it was a game program but she could not change the screen and return to the main menu. The screen was stuck there and one number kept changing very fast. She could not use the phone and she realized that she did not even know the groom’s phone number. It was already getting dark by then.

6. She thought to herself, she did not even know the groom, she did not love him (no intimacy whatever), so how could they ever get married? Then she woke.

________________________________

Interpretation: This is a wedding that is coming soon in heaven. The groom (Jesus) is coming tomorrow (THE NEXT DAY) and the bride (His church) has to be ready. Every believer has to be ready with suitable attire for the wedding.

Alas, all three churches in the above two dreams are not ready. One is sleeping and not interested. One is interested but has been busy doing activities that had nothing to do with the kingdom of heaven and the wedding of the Lamb. Her children and grandchildren were “strange children” and not the children of God. ” She even had an altar offering incense to other gods/idols. The third church had useless fruits that could not be eaten. Like Noah’s days, old and young people carried on their ‘daily normal’ physical activities and not even know or concern that the Lord’s wedding was imminent! 
The worst thing is that the third church uses fake ‘blood’ (which is red color dye) to try to cleanse their sins! There is no genuine repentance and conversion there and thus no salvation.

When she went somewhere else, a town (more well developed and established churches), to buy the wedding gown, she found that none of them sold the gowns.

MEANWHILE, THE END TIMES COUNTDOWN HAD STARTED AND RUNNING DOWN FAST! THERE IS NO REVERSAL OR EXTENSION OF TIME FOR ANYONE.

(The dreamer indeed had a shock.  Asking for more anointing means more responsibilities. The next step is to ask the Lord what He wants her to do. )
