The Banner on the Mountain (44 mins)

Judgment is beginning to flood the earth. At the same time the enemies of God are increasing their activity to resist Jesus' coming, He is lifting up a banner on the mountains to invite people to safety.
 
Praying night and day makes people safe!

Isaiah 59:17For He put on righteousness as a breastplate, And a helmet of salvation on His head; He put on the garments of vengeance for clothing, And was clad with zeal as a cloak. 18According to their deeds, accordingly He will repay, Fury to His adversaries, Recompense to His enemies; The coastlands He will fully repay. 19So shall they fear The name of the LORD from the west, And His glory from the rising of the sun; When the enemy comes in like a flood, The Spirit of the LORD will lift up a standard against him.

Babylon, the Judgment of America, and the Promise of Revival (58 min)

In the end times, location really matters.  It is important to know the promises and warnings for SPECIFIC geographic locations, in case you happen to live in one of them!  There are numerous warnings for specific geographic locations in Isaiah (read chapters 13-21, and 47), Ezekiel, Jeremiah, the minor prophets, the Olivet Discourse (Jerusalem/Judea), and the Book of Revelation.

 

A very intense and specific warning is given to the end time Babylon.  You can read the specific words easily in Isaiah 14 and 47, Jeremiah 50 and 51, and Revelation 18.  The end time Babylon is described as FULL of God’s people, wealthy, living in luxury, exporting lust and an extravagantly luxurious lifestyle, and corrupting the world with her value system of materialism above all else.  Other passages describe the end time Babylon as last lone superpower to inhabit planet earth before the return of Jesus.

 

The final nail in the end time Babylon’s  coffin of judgment is her betrayal of Israel:

Isaiah 47:6-9  I was angry with My people; I have profaned My inheritance, And given them into your hand. You showed them no mercy; On the elderly you laid your yoke very heavily.  7  And you said, 'I shall be a lady forever,' So that you did not take these things to heart, Nor remember the latter end of them.  8  "Therefore hear this now, you who are given to pleasures, Who dwell securely, Who say in your heart, 'I am, and there is no one else besides me; I shall not sit as a widow, Nor shall I know the loss of children';  9  But these two things shall come to you In a moment, in one day: The loss of children, and widowhood. They shall come upon you in their fullness Because of the multitude of your sorceries, For the great abundance of your enchantments.

 

Before THAT day, God’s people in the end time Babylon MUST respond and agree with God’s instructions to “come out of her”:

Revelation 18:2-9  And he cried mightily with a loud voice, saying, "Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and has become a dwelling place of demons, a prison for every foul spirit, and a cage for every unclean and hated bird!  3  For all the nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth have become rich through the abundance of her luxury."  4  And I heard another voice from heaven saying, "Come out of her, my people, lest you share in her sins, and lest you receive of her plagues.  5  For her sins have reached to heaven, and God has remembered her iniquities.  6  Render to her just as she rendered to you, and repay her double according to her works; in the cup which she has mixed, mix double for her.  7  In the measure that she glorified herself and lived luxuriously, in the same measure give her torment and sorrow; for she says in her heart, 'I sit as queen, and am no widow, and will not see sorrow.'  8  Therefore her plagues will come in one day—death and mourning and famine. And she will be utterly burned with fire, for strong is the Lord God who judges her.  9  "The kings of the earth who committed fornication and lived luxuriously with her will weep and lament for her, when they see the smoke of her burning,

 

End time Babylon…the harlot…is also full of God’s people…the Bride.  The wheat and the tares are side by side in the end time Babylon:

Revelation 18:21-24  Then a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone and threw it into the sea, saying, "Thus with violence the great city Babylon shall be thrown down, and shall not be found anymore.  22  The sound of harpists, musicians, flutists, and trumpeters shall not be heard in you anymore. No craftsman of any craft shall be found in you anymore, and the sound of a millstone shall not be heard in you anymore.  23  The light of a lamp shall not shine in you anymore, and the voice of bridegroom and bride shall not be heard in you anymore. For your merchants were the great men of the earth, for by your sorcery all the nations were deceived.  24  And in her was found the blood of prophets and saints, and of all who were slain on the earth."

 

Watch.  Pray.  Be Ready.

 

The Role of the End-Time Church in Releasing the End-Time Judgment (49 min)

The end time saints…the Bride….have an integral role in partnering with God to release the end time judgments…the seven seals, seven trumpets, and seven bowls:

Revelation 8:4-6  And the smoke of the incense, with the prayers of the saints, ascended before God from the angel's hand.  5  Then the angel took the censer, filled it with fire from the altar, and threw it to the earth. And there were noises, thunderings, lightnings, and an earthquake.  6  So the seven angels who had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound.

 

This is a very intense truth with great implications.  To release the judgments, we must understand them.  To agree with Jesus, we must come into an understanding that the judgments are the highest expression of Jesus’ mercy, patience, and love.  Jesus’ judgments are to be desired, but in this hour, many don’t even want to think about, even more are hoping to avoid them altogether…this runs counter to statement in the Bible about God’s judgments:

Psalms 19:9-11  The fear of the LORD is clean, enduring forever; The judgments of the LORD are true and righteous altogether.  10  More to be desired are they than gold, Yea, than much fine gold; Sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.  11  Moreover by them Your servant is warned, And in keeping them there is great reward.

 

It takes time to agree with God about loving His judgments.  David, Jesus, Paul, Peter, James, John….every great one in the Bible describes the process of being set apart to love, and then execute the judgments….to stand with Jesus.  This honor have all the saints, and they will do it in night and day prayer to music.  Are you ready?

 

Psalms 149:1-9  Praise the LORD! Sing to the LORD a new song, And His praise in the assembly of saints.  2  Let Israel rejoice in their Maker; Let the children of Zion be joyful in their King.  3  Let them praise His name with the dance; Let them sing praises to Him with the timbrel and harp.  4  For the LORD takes pleasure in His people; He will beautify the humble with salvation.  5  Let the saints be joyful in glory; Let them sing aloud on their beds.  6  Let the high praises of God be in their mouth, And a two-edged sword in their hand,  7  To execute vengeance on the nations, And punishments on the peoples;  8  To bind their kings with chains, And their nobles with fetters of iron;  9  To execute on them the written judgment— This honor have all His saints. Praise the LORD!

 

The Knowledge of Good and Evil (27 min)

God does things in a way higher than our understanding can calculate.  The judgments of God, things like earthquakes and famines, and giving people over to the violence they want... some of these are the highest possible expressions of His love.  This is an important Biblical truth to wrestle through.  Some earthquakes will actually save a LOT of people, even though thousands die:

Revelation 11:13  In the same hour there was a great earthquake, and a tenth of the city fell. In the earthquake seven thousand people were killed, and the rest were afraid and gave glory to the God of heaven.

This message traces this truth all the way back to the garden and all the way forward to our hour.

Earthquakes, Babylon, and the Leadership of God (37 min)

Joel 2:10-12  The earth quakes before them, The heavens tremble; The sun and moon grow dark, And the stars diminish their brightness.  11  The LORD gives voice before His army, For His camp is very great; For strong is the One who executes His word. For the day of the LORD is great and very terrible; Who can endure it?  12  "Now, therefore," says the LORD, "Turn to Me with all your heart, With fasting, with weeping, and with mourning."

I mistakenly refer to the Gospel of Luke as the place where an open heaven is described at the crucifixion...I should have said "Matthew"...here is the passage:

Matthew 27:50-55  And Jesus cried out again with a loud voice, and yielded up His spirit.  51  Then, behold, the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom; and the earth quaked, and the rocks were split,  52  and the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep were raised;  53  and coming out of the graves after His resurrection, they went into the holy city and appeared to many.  54  So when the centurion and those with him, who were guarding Jesus, saw the earthquake and the things that had happened, they feared greatly, saying, "Truly this was the Son of God!"  55  And many women who followed Jesus from Galilee, ministering to Him, were there looking on from afar,

Loving God's Judgments - Leviticus 26 (36 min)

Leviticus 26 is the why behind the seals, trumpets, and bowls of Revelation...and the promise for those who come out of the world and into covenant with God.

Loving the Judgments of the Lord (35 min)

This is a very hard subject, but one that the Bride must come to terms with as the judgments increase in the earth.  The judgments of the Lord, as intense as they may be, are good.  We need to learn to love them.  We are supposed to keep them and desire them.  

Isaiah 26:9  With my soul I have desired You in the night, Yes, by my spirit within me I will seek You early; For when Your judgments are in the earth, The inhabitants of the world will learn righteousness.
