[THE FINISHED MYSTERY,
CONT.]
[the preparatory message to the
seventh trumpet]
But first a preparatory work is being
done; even now as the other trumpets are sounding. You
read about it in the tenth chapter of Revelation. A
mighty angel is seen coming down from heaven with a
rainbow on his head. This is none other
than the angel or messenger of the seventh trumpet.
Before He blows the seventh trumpet He has a ministry to
perform to His people, for the mighty
messenger is none other than the Lord Jesus Christ,
coming in the power of His Spirit with an end-time
message for those who have ears to hear. This is a
preparation for that which is to be released at the
blowing of the seventh trumpet. The blowing of the six
preceding trumpets unleashed forces of judgment, for six
is man's number; thus the trumpets, up to and including
the sixth, deal with worldly or carnal events as they
relate to the end-time judgments of God on rebellious
man. But the blowing of the seventh trumpet brings the
releasing of great spiritual power, for seven is the
number of the church; and the true church of the living
God shall be brought to the place, by the grace of the
reigning Christ, where it will be able to receive an
endowment with power such as the world has never seen.
But first there is a preparatory ministry of the
Messenger of the Covenant, even the Lord Jesus Himself,
as He comes to visit His temple to cleanse and restore.
This is the meaning of the little book which is held in
the hand of the mighty messenger (10:2). The little book
is open to give light and understanding; it is the
revelation of the end-time purposes of the Lord for His
church. It is even that which is now being made known by
the apostles and prophets which He has chosen. And this
revelation will continue to unfold until the seventh
trumpet is ready to sound and the secret strategy of the
Lord is ready to be enacted. For I say to you, my people, that which is
to come to pass at the blowing of the seventh trumpet
shall cause the final veil to be removed and the mystery
of God concerning the church to be openly declared for
all to see. Therefore hear and prepare, for the
time is short; and much yet needs to be done in that
spiritual body which I am preparing for this
end-time.
You will note, says the Lord, that just before
the seventh trumpet begins to sound, the mighty
messenger lifts His hand to heaven and swears that there
shall be a time of delay or waiting no longer (10:6),
but that in the days of the voice of the seventh angel
the mystery of God should be finished. (10:7). Now
let me tell you what this mystery is, for this is a part
of the revelation of the little book in the hand of the
mighty messenger.
There are many mysteries in the Word
of God. They are not mysteries in the sense that they
cannot be understood, but they are mysteries because
they are kept secret in the counsels of your God until the time comes for
them to be made known by revelation of the Spirit. For
is it not written that 'the secret things belong to the Lord our God; but those
things which are revealed belong to us and to our children
forever’? (Deut. 29:29). In my infinite wisdom I know
that men are ready to receive only small portions of
truth at a time. Therefore I have hidden or veiled much
truth in my Word through parables, dark sayings, types
and symbols, lest man is illuminated before he is ready
to accept the weight of responsibility that goes with
understanding, and precipitate himself into judgment.
For you see I am a merciful God, and I reveal only that
which men are capable of receiving at a certain time,
veiling the rest from his view, lest he stumble to his
own hurt. Those who are ready to receive more, to them I
give more understanding. This is why it was spoken by
the Lord Jesus to His intimate followers, 'To you it is given to know the
mystery of the kingdom of God; but to them that are without, all
these things are done in parables.' (Mark 4:11).
Yes, veiled in parables, lest they see more than
they are capable of bearing. Even so is it with the
mystery of the church. To the apostle Paul was it
given to unveil this mystery in its basic or fundamental
aspects. But certain aspects have been left veiled until
this end-time, because it was neither necessary nor
expedient to reveal them before.
[the seventh trumpet]
I have already revealed much
concerning my end-time purposes for the church, but
there is yet one mighty event which must take place
before the final veil can be removed. For when the
seventh angel begins to sound (10:7) THEN shall I REMOVE
BODILY 144,000 of the choicest saints (Rev. 14:1). THEN
shall there be no more mystery; for my saints that
remain, as well as all those who believe in me,
shall suddenly realize that they have been left to go
through the tribulation. THEN shall they realize
the truth of the household of the church being ‘broken
through' (Luke 12:39) in the hour of the 'thief in the
night,’ that the JEWELS might be removed. (Mal. 3:17).
THEN shall the foolish virgins scurry to 'buy oil’, for
the wise virgins, the 144,000 firstfruits, will have
been received by the Bridegroom at the midnight hour.
(Matt. 25:1-10). THEN shall Zion, the church of the
living God, begin to travail, and for 50 days shall
there be prayer day and night for a mighty revival. THEN
shall Pentecost be fully fulfilled as I pour out my
Spirit on all flesh (Joel 2:28-29). THEN shall my church
go forth as a mighty army to preach the gospel of, the
kingdom to all nations (Matt. 24:14).
Think not that I shall remove the
choicest of saints that they may be taken off somewhere
to do nothing. They shall be translated and receive
their glorified bodies. Then they shall meet with the
Lord in the upper stratosphere WHERE HE WILL HAVE
RETURNED TO BEGIN HIS END-TIME PAROUSIA OR PRESENCE,
unseen by human eyes. Then they shall be commissioned by
the Lord and receive their assignments for the
tribulation period. Almost immediately they shall begin
to appear to the saints yet on earth to give them
encouragement and instruction. Since they will be
functioning in their glorified bodies they will
have the power to appear and disappear at will. They
will continue to minister to the saints on earth during
the entire tribulation period.
The ministry of these glorified
saints on the earth during that time, plus the
ministry of a small company who will have entered into
IMMORTALITY IN PHYSICAL BODIES, will constitute the
MANIFESTATION OF THE SONS OF GOD which all creation has
been waiting for. (Rom. 8:19). My manifested sons in
immortal glorified bodies, and my manifested sons in
immortal physical bodies, will constitute a tower of
strength and help to that great army of my saints who
will be going forth to preach the gospel of the kingdom
in all nations. For I will yet be glorified in the earth
in and through a people who will preach with power and
authority, accompanied by mighty signs and miracles.
Thus by the manifestation of my sons, and by a mighty
out-pouring of my Spirit on my church, I will get myself
glory and bring a bounteous harvest into my Kingdom.
The seventh trumpet will continue to
blow for 3-1/2 years, during which time the other
trumpets will also consummate their sounding. This
will be the period of the great tribulation spoken of in
the scriptures (Matt. 24:21). At the close of the
tribulation the final blast of the seventh trumpet will
sound (I Thess. 4:16) and the dead in Christ shall be
raised; then the living saints shall be translated and
‘caught up’ to be with the Lord (I Thess. 4:17).
Having received His own the Lord will then return with
all of His saints in power and great glory (Matt.
24:30). Then will the 'kingdoms of this world
become the kingdoms of the Lord and of his anointed; and
he shall reign for the eons.' (Rev. 11:15).
My people, there is so much that I
would share with you concerning that which is
coming, for the little book that is open (Rev. 10:2)
contains many secrets that are yet to be revealed before
the seventh trumpet blows. Therefore hearken, and heed
that which I speak to you, that your heart may be ready
to receive more of my revelation for this hour
in human history."
(End of prophecy.)
