Responding to the Sixth Seal

"I am opening the sixth seal
and there will be great disasters.

Many who call themselves My people
will respond with judgment.

Some will respond with love,
but many will turn to making
prophetic declarations in My name
yet without My Spirit,
calling the nations to alliances
with the kingdoms of the earth.

When the nations demand their allegiance,
My servants will hold to My commands,
loving as I loved My enemies
instead of fighting back.

The greatest destruction will not come
from the disasters that fall upon the earth,
but rather from the reaction of the nations.

My people, do not turn aside from My commands,
but carry the cross just as I have set
the example for you to follow."

Prepared to Understand

"To the ones who are waiting for the Lamb and His peace:

Those who hope for the love of the cross to fill the earth
will begin to understand the words written in Revelation.
Because they follow the commands of Jesus to love as He did,
their hearts have been prepared for the unsealing of prophecies.

Those who desire what My heart desires will see,
but who desire another kingdom will not believe.
They will chose their kingdom and their vision instead.
When the words of Revelation unfold before them,
they will cling to their understanding
and will resist the Lamb and His commands.

The words of the prophecies will remain sealed to them
because they no not choose the way of peace,
and they will fight against the Lamb and those who follow Him.
They will interpret the things happening in the world
according to the ways of the world which have become their gospel.
Many will join them and follow them into the great delusion.

But those whose wisdom is the Lamb
and His command of love
will shine as lights in the darkness."

As You Judge

"I am He who gave you grace
while you were My enemies.

You have been commanded to give
the same love and graciousness
to your enemies that I gave you.

Those who choose to give enemies the sword
instead of the love of the Cross
are choosing to be judged by the sword
instead of the grace of the Cross.

Which will you choose?"

Lawlessness Followingthe Second Trumpet

"The second angel blew his trumpet,
and something like a great mountain,
burning with fire, was thrown into the sea.
A third of the sea turned into blood,
a third of the living creatures in the sea died,
and a third of the ships were destroyed."

(Revelation 8:8-9)

"A great asteroid will fall in the ocean,
fulfilling the vision shown to John.
Many people will search for understanding
by looking to prophecy 'experts',
but many will seek only to preserve
their ways and their kingdoms.

A minority will search for how
to love their neighbors and enemies.
But I will use this remnant
to testify of My love and My Son.

I have promised that I will be with
those who hold to His commands
and refuse to let their love grow cold
by following the kingdoms of the world.

Do not let any 'prophetic' teaching mislead you:
Follow the Lamb and His command to love."

Pride Instead of Remorse

"Do I celebrate the greatness
of a nation built upon cheating
and destroying indigenous peoples?
Am I impressed with their 'accomplishments'?
Have I rewarded their nation
with the 'blessing' of prosperity?

Do those who oppressed Native Americans
and the descendants of the oppressors
owe their 'thanksgiving' to Me?

Haven't I suffered when Natives suffered?
Haven't I gone hungry when they went hungry?
Haven't I been cheated when they were cheated?
Haven't I been massacred when they were massacred?

Should you 'remember' them
by naming sports teams after them?
Should you put their images on your products
and dress your children like them for school games?

Is this how you 'honor' the oppressed?
Is this how you offer 'thanksgiving' to Me?

Pride! Pride!
Where is your remorse, America?
Where is your repentance
and the fruit of your repentance?

Spend yourselves on behalf of those
who have been oppressed and impoverished
by the founding of your nation!

For I have heard their cries
and I will not ignore them
as you have ignored them."

Manifest Destiny

"America, I want you to know
the treasure that I set in the land
in its indigenous people,
and to be blessed through them.

But in your greed you have
abused their goodwill,
dishonored your treaties,
and tried to destroy them.

By seizing land with force
and using treachery,
you have rejected My will
and My blessings for you.

I am in the same neighbors
you defrauded and set aside,
instead of being valued,
honored and respected.

Because you have forsaken peace
and mistreated your neighbors,
you will also not know peace
and you will also be mistreated.

But for those among you who repent,
who seek reconciliation with them
and expend yourselves for their well-being,
I am waiting with healing and peace."

Profile of the Lawless One

"Who worships the virtues of war?
Who believes victory in battle
is the sign of the favor of heaven?
Who calls the nations to honor the 'chosen people'?
Who uses their economic might to force
the nations to stand with the 'chosen people'?

Who seeks signs and wonders to prove
their authority to the nations?
Who declares the righteousness
of the circumcision and those who stand with them?
Who has followed the beast from the sea
and become the beast from the land?"
