The Devotion of the Queen

"In her heart she boasts,
'I sit enthroned as queen...
I will never mourn.'
Therefore in one day...
she will be consumed...
for mighty is the Lord
God who judges her."

(Revelation 18:7-8)

"Many of My children who profess My name
have prostituted themselves to gain authority.
They have chosen power, violence, and domination.
They trust in their object of devotion,
believing they will receive authority
from their new husband and king.

They have trusted in their idols,
but their idols will not save them.
What they have sold themselves for
will turn against them.
In one day destruction will overtake them,
and they will be consumed.

Cry out, My people!
Cry out, My servants!
Cry out, My prophets!

All you who hold to faith in My son
and keep My commands, cry out!
Testify against their adultery!

Call My beloved
but drunken children
to repent!"

Hallelujah! The exiles have returned
Returned to the homeland
Hallelujah! The persecuted are home
Now they have a home of their own

Hallelujah! They will possess the land
All of the land will be their home
Hallelujah! They will drive out its people
All those who stand in their way

Hallelujah! They will possess the homes
All of the homes where others dwell
Hallelujah! Young and old shall flee
Flee before those whom God favors

Hallelujah! Mother and child shall run
Young men and elders, too
Hallelujah! They shall have no home
For they dared to resist Israel

Hallelujah! They cannot withstand
The arms, missiles and tear gas
Hallelujah! They cannot survive
Without power, medicine and electricity

Hallelujah! For Israel can control
Who comes and who goes out
Hallelujah! For Israel can restrict
Their people from receiving money

Hallelujah! The occupation by force
Will squeeze life out of the remnant
Hallelujah! The settlers push further
Armed and taking back the land

Hallelujah! Israel is protected
By allies who give her arms and aid
Hallelujah! She cannot be condemned
The nations cannot stop her

Hallelujah! The people of the "Christ"
Don't want to see any of her crimes
Hallelujah! They refuse to believe
And only blame the oppressed

Hallelujah! For Israel is free
She has been given license to sin
Hallelujah! Prophecy is being fulfilled
And this shall bring about the end

Hallelujah! She can act like a beast
And her protector like a beast, too
Hallelujah! Who can stand against them?
Against them no one can make war

Hallelujah! The congregations boast
This alliance shall not fail
Hallelujah! No one is like her
And her wound has been healed

Hallelujah! A new law, it reigns
The law of "Christ" cannot be applied
Hallelujah! "Love" is called cold
"Christ" is replaced with "Israel's side"

These Are the Days

"I know that much
of the behavior of those
who profess My name
does not reflect My teachings.

I know that many have used
the words of scripture
to support their agendas
and unloving actions.

I know that many have twisted
prophecies in scripture
that justify their disregard
of My teaching and commands.

Because of these things
many of you who hold
to My teachings and commands
have questioned, re-interpreted
and sometimes cast off belief
in the words I have spoken
through prophets in scripture.

Yet by holding onto
My teachings and commands
and by walking in My love,
you have held onto that
which is most important.

But the words I have spoken
through prophets in scripture l
are also true and did not come
by any prophet's own interpretation.

Those whose agape love
has grown cold and who
have forsaken My commands
are fulfilling the words I spoke
in the prophecies of Paul
and the book of Revelation.

They have become unthinking
and unfeeling as the brute beasts
of Revelation and have taught
rebellion and apostasy in My temple.

Death, war, exploitation
and destruction follow in their wake
as they ride out of My presence
like conquerors bent on conquest.

They have made an idol of Israel
and called all people to worship it,
blessing those who do
and cursing those who do not.

Those who cling to My ways of love
will not be deceived,
but those who forsake My commands
ignore the warnings of prophecy.

Do not forsake My love and My commands.
Keep faith in what I did
for you on the Cross,
and do not despise prophecies.
I will be with you until the very end."

you are occupied and distracted
with many things.

You have been hardened

My Son told you that
you must suffer to enter the kingdom,
that you would have tribulation,
that you must carry your cross.

But you have confined His commands
and marginalized His teachings;
you have set aside His words
as being just for emergencies.

What brings you material prosperity
has become your way, truth and life;
what brings you success in the world
has become your teacher and guide.

You are dying for lack of
the water of life, My people;
some of the richest among you
have fallen and are nearly dead.

Will you cease your pursuits

Art: "That It Might Be Fulfilled"

She Who Rides On The Beast

"Listen, My beloved, and I will tell you
about the prostitution of My people.
My beloved was persecuted by those
who had vowed to shepherd her.
I picked her up and removed her
from the house of her abusers.
I taught her My wisdom and set her
on the rock of My one and only Son.
She stood in My strength and broke free
from the bondage and the lies she was taught.



As her understanding grew,
she began to systemize what I had taught her.
But she did not wait for Me to reveal
what I had sealed for the end of time,
and she began to insatiably desire
to have all the prophecies interpreted.
She sought explanation of the end times
more than she sought Me,
and listened to teachers who gave her
the answers her heart coveted.
She began to build new foundations
further and further from the Rock.
She found her assurance and anchor
in their interpretations instead of
in what My Son did for her on the cross.



She fashioned and formed
a new image based on the circumcision,
dividing My people and My word.
She invented a new hope for herself
beyond what I had promised her,
and made the circumcision into
the only hope for the rest of the world.
Her theology replaced My Son
as she reshaped the gospel:
He became the way to bring about
the exaltation of the chosen people,
instead of being the Chosen One
to whom the prophets pointed
and who died for all of mankind.



Many years later when the circumcision
sought to return to their homeland,
My beloved believed it was the fulfillment
of her interpretations of the prophets.
The image she had created seemed to come to life,
and she gave herself in devotion to her new lover.
My beloved had fallen in love with the image
she had created of 'Israel' in her heart.



She set aside My Son and His commands
and stepped away from My teachings—
the house built on the one and only Rock.
She put her faith in her teachings
and the house she had built on the sand;
she prepared for the day of flooding
by putting her trust in 'the chosen people'
instead of in the Chosen One.



As Israel became like the beasts
who had persecuted him in the past
in order to regain his land,
My beloved also became unthinking and unfeeling,
like brute beasts whose only law was
to prostitute herself to the desires of a beast.
She placed herself upon his back,
and as a rider led by the untamed desires of her mount,
she rode wherever the 'chosen ones' led her
instead of staying upon the one and only immovable Rock.
From atop her new mount
she declared his wonders and praises.
When he went into battle she supported him;
when he was victorious she declared,
"Who is like him, and who can stand against him?"



To those who did not follow him,
she proclaimed curses and used her wealth
to block their power to trade.
Those who favored him she rewarded
with her buying and her selling,
dividing the nations on his behalf.
She marked herself on the forehead with her beliefs
and upon her right hand with her actions.
She judged all mankind in the same way she judged herself—
marked by whether they honored the circumcision
instead of whether they honored the Lamb and His commands.
My people exchanged the kingdom I had given them
for the earthly kingdom of Israel.



I cried through many messengers
for My people to return to the truth.
But My people would not turn from their idolatry.
Every rebuke I sent was judged as being critical;
questioning Israel was considered blasphemous,
and My messengers were accused of being anti-Semitic.
My people became proud of their determination
to never turn from their theology.



Those who have prophesied to My people
that they must "stand with Israel"
—they are the Antichrist.
I did not prophesy through them
and tell My people to follow Israel.
They have deceived many of My people.
They have lured my people
from the Rock to rebellion.
They have set up in My temple
their own image of Israel.
They have turned my people from the cross,
and their rebellion will bring desolation.



My beloved!
My precious beloved!
Do not be destroyed for lack of knowledge!
Those who teach you to follow Israel
instead of walking in My commands
—they are deceiving you!
They have set you on the path
that ends in desolation
instead of the path that leads to life!
They have taught you to ignore the spirit
of the one who comes to steal, kill and destroy!
Turn back to My ways!
Turn back to My ways!
Repent!"

The Bride and the Seduced

"The time has come of apostasy,
falling away and rebellion.
Lawless ones have come
from inside of the temple
and departed from the teaching
of the apostles of the Lamb.

Many are being seduced by
the temptations I resisted:

I refused to use the power of My Spirit
for My own personal gain,
but today many who call themselves 'anointed'
use My name and spiritual power
as a means of gaining wealth
and whatever miracles they lust after.

I refused to abuse My Father's trust
by acting reckless and expecting His protection,
but today many who call themselves 'God’s people'
mistreat and exploit their neighbors
instead of loving and serving them,
and expect not to reap what they sow.

I refused to serve Satan
and disregard My Father's commands,
but today many who claim to be part of My Kingdom
seek to take dominion over the lands,
peoples and kingdoms of the earth,
and so bow to Satan instead of to Me.

Those who have been seduced
appear prosperous and strong.
They cannot see the darkness
that surrounds them,
or the clouds of judgment
gathering overhead.

Cry out, My servants,
cry out for your brothers and sisters
who have become prostitutes!

Stand among them as witnesses
just as I dwelt among you
and made intercession for you.

Follow the Lamb:
love and weep for those in Babylon
just as I loved and wept for Jerusalem."
