XII.     Saddling Up to Our True Destiny

Rev. 19:11 Now I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse. And He who sat on him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges and makes war. 14 And the armies in heaven, clothed in fine linen, white and clean, followed Him on white horses. 19 And I saw the beast, the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against Him who sat on the horse and against His army. 20 Then the beast was captured, and with him the false prophet … These two were cast alive into the lake of fire burning with brimstone.

11:15 …And there were loud voices in heaven, saying, "The [democratic] kingdom of the world has become [captured by] the kingdom of our Lord and of His Christ; and He will reign forever and ever." 16 And the twenty-four elders… 17 sa[id], "We give You thanks, O Lord God, the Almighty, who are and who were, because You have taken Your great power and have begun to reign . 18 And the nations were enraged, and Your wrath came, and the time came…to destroy those who destroy the earth."

Revelation paints the age-consummating harvest of tares and wheat in military terms. It portrays an open war between the two harvests—a showdown between the unmasked tyranny of world democracy and the fully manifest kingdom of God.

At the end, the beast of world democracy is finally taken, just as Peter said would happen to those who leave the gospel to promote self-made freedom. It is destroyed by the One Who rides on a white horse. He is the True One, Whom to know is the source of real freedom through deliverance from sin.

But the One Who rides is not alone! He is followed by an army—also on white horses. Where do these come from, and where do they get their horses?

These who ride with the Lord are they who overcome the beast by the blood of the Lamb and the Word of their testimony—the Spirit of Prophecy. These are they who do not defile themselves with “women” like the Statue of Liberty. These are they who do not worship the beast, his electronic image, or who take His peace and safety number.

This army of the Lord comprises those who have sacrificed their quest for natural liberty to find the Liberty that comes only through knowing Him. Their white horses show their tongues have been bridled (Jms. 1:26), purged by the Holy Spirit, and that no guile is found in their lips. It is these, having awakened from stupor to cut their ties with the beast, which ride with Him at the final hour to destroy it from the earth. And they are wheat!

- You Can Overcome the Beast!

Rev. 15:2 And I saw something like a sea of glass mixed with fire, and those who had been victorious over the beast and his image and the number of his name, standing on the sea of glass, holding harps of God.

Isn’t this marvelous? Up to this point, all we’ve seen is the beast’s ability to war against the saints and overcome them. But here in Revelation 15, are you as relieved as I to see that there is hope! —that there is an antidote to the beast’s ability to poison us! Praise God! Hallelujah! Not everyone has to be overcome by the beast! —And that includes you!!

It’s true—seduced under democracy, we’ve been overcome by the beast’s shadow for a long long time. And many will not recover from sleep in time to avoid his actual pounce. But here, Revelation tells us the beast does not overcome all of us, but is finally overcome by us!

Many of us will recover from blindness and rise to our destiny to ride with the Lamb. Let’s remember this: the harvest is ultimately about the reaping of true liberty in the earth under Christ. It’s not finally about the tare of democracy, its pretend “liberty” or its initial success at deceiving the wheat! It is not even about the wheat’s ability to only escape from the tares!

The harvest spotlight is on the wheat’s final success at demonstrating Christ’s immortal freedom through defeating all sin within and the democratic ruler of this world without. In the manifest end, the wheat beat the tares. Christ’s Liberty prevails in the earth! Democracy is bundled together, taken prisoner of the kingdom of our Lord and of His Christ—and it is burned.

- How Do We Overcome?

The question then becomes, How can we move from our place of blind bondage under the beast to our place of victory over the beast?

To escape and finally overcome the one-world democratic empire, we have to become something as a church we have largely never become—disciples. We have to answer a call that exceeds “faith in Christ as my Savior.” It is a call to identity in and vision for His kingdom alone.

The beast does not fear “believers” married to their earthly cultures with allegiances to kingdoms in two worlds. He fears disciples committed only to establishing an immortal kingdom from another world. He does not fear the sons of light as long as they can be kept in the dark about their true identity and kingdom objective.

Most of us think we are already “disciples” simply because we express passion for the Lord, are devoted to spiritually empowered ministry and/or have a vision for the church. But we’ve never let the Spirit touch our root sense of identity in this world. Without this touch, we’ll never awake to how the political prophets of liberty have lured us into marrying our faith to their kingdom.

To become disciples, we must let the Spirit baptize us with a cutting revelation of our identity in Christ alone and His kingdom alone. And if we’ve truly been born again, the Spirit’s call to that baptism is already speaking within us (—it always has).

- Wanted: Trained Riders

"Therefore having overlooked the times of ignorance, God is now declaring to [the American church] that [we] should repent…”
Ac. 17:30

At this hour, we exist in a prophetic twilight, somewhere between light and dark—between remnants of our original blessing of national liberty left by the influence of spiritual forefathers, and final world “liberty-turned-tyranny” to be inherited from patriot founding fathers.

The broad pattern of end time fulfillments has not yet reached its consummation. The beast’s trap has not yet been finally sprung. Nor has its harvest of secret lawlessness totally ripened. The tare is still using us to its ends, still in need of siphoning off our ignorant “Christian” support and intercession to build its democratic anti-kingdom.

But in this twilight, the Lord is doing a redeeming work for anyone with a true disciple’s heart—no matter how blind or ignorant we’ve been to this point. He is merciful on our heartfelt ignorance. He understands the cunning of the patriotic deception and our disadvantage over time to perceive it for what it has always been. Amid our sincere fog He calls to us now:

“He that has ears to hear, let Him hear… Wisdom cries aloud in the streets…. Receive My baptism into true Identity…Repent of your ancestral idolatry…receive My vision for your true Liberty…repent of your devotion to the beast, his politics and parties, and from your mesmerization with his living images…Come out of her My People…!”

The Lord beckons us look heavenward—to restored vision for His kingdom alone. He calls us to repent ahead of the judgment—to overcome deception where our forefathers succumbed to it. He calls us to destiny—to ride with Him in victory over the beast’s number and name. He’s scouring the earth now for riders to help establish His Immortal Freedom Government at His coming.

The word is out. The posters are up. Begin taming your stallions—now. We can’t ride with Him until we’ve broken in our own steeds. Right now, saints throughout earth have quietly begun dropping out of “the political action” to go out to the stables and work their horses. They plan to ride this thing out. Would you care to join them? Do you want to win this one? There’s still time,

…but not much.

Watch therefore, and pray always that you may be counted worthy to escape all these things that will come to pass, and to [ride!] before the Son of Man. Lk. 21:36 (NKJ)

XIII.     Vision of a Melchizedekian People

“I am proud that our country remains the hope of the oppressed, and the greatest force for good on this earth.” George W. Bush

As I continued watching the televised convention with all its rhetoric on America’s virtues, my spirit received an inner vision of the true Kingdom people—the true people of Liberty. I saw them in my spirit as Melchizedek. Their eyes were upon only one King. They stood in the midst of earth’s turmoils with a golden aura about them, having the apostolic stature of Moses. They were as God’s elders in the earth.

As the situation between the world’s powers deteriorated and wars increased, I saw as so many ignorant believers in Christ began awakening from their stupor. They began to realize that America was not—as George Bush said—“the greatest force for good on this earth.” They began to realize that Ronald Reagan was deceived when he said America was “this last, best hope of man on Earth.”

As the believers realized their misplaced loyalty and allegiance in the earth, and that they had been worshipping the beast of human liberty, they began to repent, begging the Lord of Hosts for forgiveness, and began seeking out and forming clusters around the various Melchizedekian elders scattered over the earth.

The Melchizedekians ministered as shepherds of the true freedom in Christ alone. And they helped prepare the returned believers for rendezvous with the King as he made ready to take up final claim to earth’s title deed. They taught them the ways of freedom through holiness and deliverance from all the powers of sin. They taught them the way of pure identity in Christ, cleansing their soul-robes white in His blood. They prepared them for the realities of government through resurrected life.

These small gatherings, keyed into the Lord, went on to form what were to become advance “kingdom clusters” of governmental authority, preparing the Lord’s way into the earth. They provided the grounding touch points for His manifest rule at its full appearance once the beast was slain. And for the first time in earth’s history, the visible underpinnings for clearly identified immortal government under Yeshua were in place.

XIV.    Epilogue: My Personal Response to This Election

Mr. Secretary General, …The American people respect the idealism that gave life to this organization. And we respect the men and women of the U.N., who stand for peace and human rights in every part of the world…. For decades, the circle of liberty and security and development has been expanding in our world. … Now we have the historic chance to widen the circle even further, …to achieve a true peace, founded on human freedom…. Every nation that wants peace will share the benefits of a freer world. The security of our world is found in the advancing rights of mankind. These rights are advancing across the world…
George W. Bush to the United Nations, September 21, 2004

And it was given to him to give breath to the image of the beast—and authority over every tribe and people and tongue and nation was given to him. All who dwell on the earth will worship him—While they are saying, "Peace and safety!" then destruction will come upon them suddenly like labor pains upon a woman with child, and they will not escape. Rev. 13:15, 7-8; I Th. 5:3

The American presidential election of 2000 was an important election for me, as it was for most American believers. At that time, I served the Lord as a front line intercessor for George Bush and on behalf of all who were taking places to stand for righteousness in the human government. For me, there was a role to play in that context.

But in the time between then and now, my heart has grown more than ever to yearn for the Lord’s kingdom alone, to see the uncontested Revelation of Christ in the earth as King of Kings and Lord of Lords—to see the replacement of human rule altogether. My heart has outgrown its support for the deceived believers within the democratic structure who by now should know better—those who still speak as false prophets for world freedom and “sovereignty of the people.”

I find I can no longer assist those in government who, professing the Lord on one hand, remain oblivious to the fundamental need for national repentance—who stay blind to the truth that human freedom begins only in Christ’s salvation from sin—who keep committed to the proposition that America has the calling and capacity in its own “goodness” to bring true freedom to the world—especially when America’s use of liberty at home is for no greater end than the pursuit of personal gain, self-indulgence and just plain debauchery.

Having now seen the beast, heard its boasts and watched its image in a way never perceived before, I will not be casting my vote this year for its president. (How can I any longer vote to support what now clearly speaks to me as a false political religion stealing glory from our King? How can I vote for an arrogant voice that claims to be a greater force for good in the earth than the church? And how can I vote in support of a system our Lord is set to cast into the lake of fire?)

Nor will I be offering feverish intercessions for the outcome of this year’s elections. Yes, I will still pray for the leaders of the country. But the only prayer I find strength to offer today for America’s candidates and politicians is for the spirit of conviction of sin, righteousness and judgment to fall on them before they cross death’s portal to enter judgment. Past this, my intercessions are for the replacement of this system altogether by our Lord and His Christ at His appearing.

This is where the Lord has brought me at this time. I offer this teaching and my own actions as a witness of His work in me over these things. I don’t offer them as a mandate for anyone else—only as an example in faithfulness to what I have seen. Let everyone listen for the Spirit’s direction. (Please, let no one construe anything in this teaching to advocate fleshly rebellion against the existing system. We are not on the same team. You haven’t gotten the point.)

To those for whom this message resonates, let us encourage one another as we ready our own stallions for riding with the Master in His final victory. This is the only military we can ever support. And let us continue laboring in intercessory worship toward establishing advance Melchizedekian outposts ahead of His final uncontested manifest rule! This is the only government to which we can ever bear allegiance.

With All Love in the Faith,
