Sitting Bull’s revelation

by

” I will give them to you because they have no ears”  this was spoken in a revelation to sitting Bull.  In a very short time Custer and all his men were given into the hands of the Indians.

Does this mean that Jesus blessed the Indians because they were righteous?  If it should have anything to do with the righteousness of men it would be the unrighteousness of the white man’s encroachment on Indian land for the sake of greed.  And that such people would not listen to reason from the Holy Lord of life.

The white man was not listening to what is true.  But let us not ignore the fact that Indians embraced slavery and all kinds of violence for the sake of gain.  It was not your purity of religion that God was looking at it was purity of will to listen and to obey.

What stands out more clearly to me is the sovereignty of God over all men.  And we should not consider it strange that God should speak to the Indians without the gospel.  For the judgment of God will be rendered to all men regardless their nationality customs or religion.  And let us not forget what he himself has said, “Out of the mouths of babes you have ordained praise”.

Be careful not to discount what I have written here because it has to do with a revelation to Indians.  Instead let us consider carefully that God is sovereign in his judgment and actions among the dealings of men. 

“To he who has more will be given and he will have in abundance.  But he who does not have, even what he thinks he has will be taken from him”.

Who is the one who has been given understanding?  Perhaps you sleep a short sleep.  Perhaps your prayers are being heard even now.  Perhaps the day is consuming you as you serve the Living God.  Perhaps you are nearer to me than I presently know.  But who is the one who has been given understanding?

We all catch melodies as we mingle with this world.  A jingle sticks in the mind like a bur in wool.  Then we scrape against an experience and the bur leaves us.  We walk along grateful that the irritating melody is finally gone, only to encounter another.

I have had a melody ring in my heart for weeks now.  “I could have told you Vincent.  This world was never meant for one as beautiful as you.”  Where is the one who has been given understanding?   Are you able to divide truth from fiction regarding this?  Are you willing, because you have been given understanding, to shed light on this for me?

I find applications as the days go by.  But there is a “something” I can’t yet grasp regarding this melody.  And I know it as well as a grown person.  Perhaps the Lord is building something which will be revealed in a certain moment of time not yet arrived.  Perhaps this post is the engine which propels the answer to me.  But I ask again:  Where and who is the one who has been given understanding?

 

Man’s Understanding of Holy Lacks a Bit.

Something interesting is appearing before me.  I posted an article regarding Glenn Beck being a part of the drama which will unfold as God raises up His two witnesses (as told in the book of Revelation).  I’ve watched a thread develop in which some speculate the issue.  All of us will ponder the advent of this prophecy.  And we are all correct to do so.  But something very interesting has presented itself in this thread.

It’s a human condition to try to identify a mystery by using the information we have at our disposal first.  We learn this from children’s games; “I spy with my little eye” and such other games.  But as we become adults we often try to find more information before we make guesses about things of such importance.  Why would Americans look to Americans as the source of God’s two witnesses?  Or even look to Obama as the anti-christ?  The world is a very large place.  But we look to what we know first, don’t we. 

Such a narrow field of candidates leaves a rather wide margin for the billions of “others” on this planet.  And it’s very likely that these two people are not Americans at all.  Consider one passage in that scripture regarding these two witnesses:  “They are “the two olive trees” and the two lampstands, and “they stand before the Lord of the earth.”   Look how the Lord describes them.  He is using heavenly terms which indicate that they “STAND” before the Lord of Heaven.  They are not your every day average American.  They are Holy men.  Holy in the sense of God’s standards.  To ascribe this kind of Holiness to Glenn Beck or any other average American is a bit on the nonsense side.  These two men will be of a very special breed.  It is God, Himself, who has appointed His two witnesses.

Another issue regarding these two men has to do with the wickedness of man.  I got a feeling that if modern man met Elijah or Moses they would be sunk to their knees with the focus of God these men owned.  Remember how Elijah put to death the prophets of baal with the sword?  Blood was not unfamiliar to Elijah.  I don’t think he would fit into your local garden party crowd.  And consider Moses.  A man of firm conviction regarding obedience to God’s law.  How would the average group of modern men react to such a man in their Sunday morning service?

I think Americans (and thus many other modern people) miss the entire message of Holiness God is speaking.  It would be wise to discontinue speculation regarding these men if we are going to use our own frame of wickedness to pick them ourselves.

(Since this entry was written nothing has come about to warrant its writing.  I will leave this post on my blog.  I see that a lot of people are searching for such things.  But I will remind the reader that prophecy has its place.  All the while, leading a life filled with the Holy Spirit of God is of vastly more importance.  While we search for what is to come, let us remember to live a life worthy of God’s blessing.  Prophecy will do nothing to help us as we stand before the Throne of Christ Jesus.  Obedience, however, will help us immensely.)

I just posted a difference in beliefs between Glenn Beck and the children of the Most High God through Jesus’ sacrifice.  So I feel a bit redundant bringing him back to my blog.  But something is transpiring which demands attention.

Glenn is planning to take his media power to Jerusalem.  It is his belief that he must stand with Israel in the coming days.  I pondered this move in light of the Lord’s plans and wondered how this might fit in.  Though I don’t have direct word from the Lord on this, I’ve come to a realization that might hold some water.

The current media ignores Israel, being quite liberal and ungodly in their approach to the world’s plight.  And we have heard of the two witnesses which will appear to testify to the world’s ungodly behavior.  It’s not likely that the current media would even notice them, given their present bend to sin.  But we are told that these two witnesses will be seen by the entire world.  Is it possible that Glenn’s move to Jerusalem (along with his powerful outreach) is a direct hand of God?  Perhaps the Lord is setting up the stage on which these two men will carry out their appointed tasks.

The following is the account of these two men from the book of Revelation chapter 11.  I present this, not as the direct word of God, as something for all men to ponder and respect.  God will move against the sins of this world.  How He will do it is only in our hands to watch.

1 I was given a reed like a measuring rod and was told, “Go and measure the temple of God and the altar, with its worshipers. 2 But exclude the outer court; do not measure it, because it has been given to the Gentiles. They will trample on the holy city for 42 months. 3 And I will appoint my two witnesses, and they will prophesy for 1,260 days, clothed in sackcloth.” 4 They are “the two olive trees” and the two lampstands, and “they stand before the Lord of the earth.”  5 If anyone tries to harm them, fire comes from their mouths and devours their enemies. This is how anyone who wants to harm them must die. 6They have power to shut up the heavens so that it will not rain during the time they are prophesying; and they have power to turn the waters into blood and to strike the earth with every kind of plague as often as they want.

 7 Now when they have finished their testimony, the beast that comes up from the Abyss will attack them, and overpower and kill them. 8 Their bodies will lie in the public square of the great city—which is figuratively called Sodom and Egypt—where also their Lord was crucified. 9 For three and a half days some from every people, tribe, language and nation will gaze on their bodies and refuse them burial. 10The inhabitants of the earth will gloat over them and will celebrate by sending each other gifts, because these two prophets had tormented those who live on the earth.

 11 But after the three and a half days the breath of life from God entered them, and they stood on their feet, and terror struck those who saw them. 12Then they heard a loud voice from heaven saying to them, “Come up here.” And they went up to heaven in a cloud, while their enemies looked on.

 13 At that very hour there was a severe earthquake and a tenth of the city collapsed. Seven thousand people were killed in the earthquake, and the survivors were terrified and gave glory to the God of heaven.

 

May all who seek life from the Lord through Jesus be made to wake.  The time is nearer now than ever before.  Do not get caught sleeping.

Mark of the Beast.

You’ve heard about the mark of the beast.  You’ve heard that it’s not a good thing to receive that mark.  And you’ve likely said to yourself and others that you won’t get the mark!  Really. 

If the mark of the beast were publicised as the “Mark of the Beast” you’d be pretty sure not to get that mark.  Especially if you’ve got your house, your car, your job, your food, and your clothing.  But what happens if all that is taken away and martial law rules the world?  You’re left with no house, no car, no job, no food, no clothing.  And your children are in extreme danger of starving or worse.  What then?

The question won’t be whether or not you’re a strong Christian.  The question will be whether or not the Lord enables you to stand against your own fears.  Then will not be the time to try to stand on your own.  But now is the time to seek the Lord Jesus in your life.  In order to stand against such horrible times and odds, you’ll need to have a seriously strong relationship with Jesus.

I’ve posted some of the scriptures related to this topic below.  May God grant you mercy that you might stand on the day of great trial.

By His Grace.

” It also forced all people, great and small, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hands or on their foreheads,  so that they could not buy or sell unless they had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of its name.” (Rev. 13: 16,17)

And:

 “9 A third angel followed them and said in a loud voice: “If anyone worships the beast and its image and receives its mark on their forehead or on their hand, 10 they, too, will drink the wine of God’s fury, which has been poured full strength into the cup of his wrath. They will be tormented with burning sulfur in the presence of the holy angels and of the Lamb. 11 And the smoke of their torment will rise for ever and ever. There will be no rest day or night for those who worship the beast and its image, or for anyone who receives the mark of its name.” 12 This calls for patient endurance on the part of the people of God who keep his commands and remain faithful to Jesus.” (Rev. 14)
