Revelation 11:15   Then the seventh angel sounded: And there were loud voices in heaven, saying, “The kingdom of this world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of His Christ, and He shall reign forever and ever!”

Seven in the number of Spiritual perfection or completion.  The final trumpet has sounded at the coronation of this wondrous event.  The prophesying has now finished its work and the days of manifestation have arrived:

Revelation 10:7 but in the days of the sounding of the seventh angel, when he is about to sound, the mystery of God would be finished, as He declared to His servants the prophets.

This morning I was awakened at a very specific time and I knew that FATHER wanted me to reveal something very specific.  I knew it was important that I pursue this before I focused on this final trumpet.  HE led me to the following verse:

Ephesians 6:19   and for me, that utterance may be given to me, that I may open my mouth boldly to make known the mystery of the gospel

This verse speaks of the last nine years of my intense focus on the revelation of Love AND being compelled to speak boldly about it.  I am fully convinced this is integral to the perfecting of the Saints, the apprehended ones, the remnant.  Paul tells us that prophecies will cease but Love is without end.  For six thousand years men have prophesied of this seventh trumpet in various forms and fashions.  Many mysteries have been placed before us and we have realized the the many interpretations of those mysteries were either wrong or incomplete.  There seemed to be something held back that would fully unlock the revelation contained therein.  I will continue to open my mouth boldly and express what HE reveals to me to be shared among the those who are drawn to share this same path.

This seventh trumpet releases the callings of the Sons and they are no longer hidden or restrained but in full operation.  The Sons have been activated for service to the KING of Kings and LORD of Lords.  Loud voices in Heaven proclaim this event to no longer in the future, but in the “here and now” for the kingdom of this world has become the kingdom of Our Lord and His Christ.  This is the last trumpet and Paul speaks of this in 1 Corinthians 15:

51 Behold, I tell you a mystery: We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed—

52 in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.

53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.

54 So when this corruptible has put on incorruption, and this mortal has put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written: “Death is swallowed up in victory.”

We must remember that Paul had just spoken of the preeminence of Love above all- “But when that which is perfect has come, then that which is in part will be done away”.  This seventh trumpet announces that which is perfect has come forth… now is the time!  The time of incompleteness has past.  When the full manifestation has occurred, hope and faith have been fulfilled.  In light of what HE showed me this morning, consider what Paul wrote:

Colossians 1:26   the mystery which has been hidden from ages and from generations, but now has been revealed to His saints.

27 To them God willed to make known what are the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles: which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.

We are now being moved from the hope of fulfillment to the “glory” of fulfillment.  Our redemption from death is at hand and we should expect its full manifestation just as we are told “Behold, the third woe is coming quickly”, in a twinkling of an eye.  This seventh trumpets marks the beginning of the fulfillment of the restoration of all mankind.  The voices in Heaven now proclaim, “The kingdom of this world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of His Christ, and He shall reign forever and ever!”.  It is not just the singular rule of Our LORD but also includes His Christ, His Body of Anointed Ones just as Paul points out in 1 Corinthians 12:

12 For as the body is one and has many members, but all the members of that one body, being many, are one body, so also is Christ

This trumpet of consummation brings forth many voices in Heaven whereas the previous six trumpets had none of this fanfare.  Only the seventh trumpet of Spiritual perfection would denote that the full ascension has occurred.  The mystery had been unlocked by the key of Love to those who have opened the door and entered into this process of maturing into the fullness of the stature of Christ, not by their own might but by HIS SPIRIT.  None would dare take credit for FATHER’S handiwork.  It is by HIS Wisdom that HE selected HIS vessels of honor to fulfill their function thus no man should boast.  All of HIS apprehended ones reverently and joyfully place their crowns of victory at the feet of Our Lord Jesus Christ, the High Priest of the Order of Melchizedek.  This reverence is expressed after the seven trumpets announces the perfecting:

16 And the twenty-four elders who sat before God on their thrones fell on their faces and worshiped God,

17 saying:

​​​“We give You thanks, O Lord God Almighty,

​​The One who is and who was and who is to come,

​​Because You have taken Your great power and reigned.

18 ​​The nations were angry, and Your wrath has come,

​​And the time of the dead, that they should be judged,

​​And that You should reward Your servants the prophets and the saints,

​​And those who fear Your name, small and great,

​​And should destroy those who destroy the earth.”

How do you destroy an enemy?  With Love!  I believe this is why past interpretations of the book of Revelation have failed to materialized.  The carnal nature of man is bloodthirsty and wants to see destruction.  Why do you think news channels focus on those two topics with such great success?  Because of demand!  The Pharisees were looking for a conquering Messiah and He showed up with the Divine Intent of Love and they failed to see His method of conquering.  What a mystery!  Those who are bloodthirsty continue to be blinded from the mysteries being revealed in this book.  They continue to submit to their carnal nature which will fight to the end to prevent this mystery from being revealed in the midst of their hearts.  Hence they will focus on any other topic, “revelation”, or path in order to remain on the throne in the midst of “the temple”.  Don’t shoot the messenger.

Those closest to the Throne are the first to acknowledge the reality of this seventh trumpet.  This proclamation does not come from the world or the religious churches but instead from the apprehended ones around the Throne.  These trumpets refer to the maturing of the remnant while the rest of the world continues down its current path of death and destruction.  Little do they realize what is happening without their knowledge.  Love has prevailed and has raised up those who have been prepared to serve all of mankind.  Their restoration has been in the making without their knowledge.  What a blessing.

With this understanding of the seven trumpets, let’s review the words of Jesus in Matthew 24 as He shares with the disciples the signs of the times and the end of the Age:

29 “Immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken.

30 Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.

31 And He will send His angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they will gather together His elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.

This seventh trumpet heralds the end of the age and the third woe.  The tribes of the earth will mourn for they are yet to understand the Divine Intent.  That’s okay, it will be to their benefit in the end.  What happens next in Heaven?

19 Then the temple of God was opened in heaven, and the ark of His covenant was seen in His temple. And there were lightnings, noises, thunderings, an earthquake, and great hail.

How exciting!

Revelation 11:13 In the same hour there was a great earthquake, and a tenth of the city fell. In the earthquake seven thousand (names of) people were killed, and the rest were afraid and gave glory to the God of heaven.

14 The second woe is past. Behold, the third woe is coming quickly.

As John beheld the events in the Spiritual realm, in the third Heaven, we too must view these from the same vantage point.  This great earthquake will cause the flesh to encounter a “shaking”.  It will shatter all the carnal doctrines that you once held to be certain.  Your confidence in your foundation built on man’s doctrines will crumble under the exposure to the Truth.  These are the same doctrines that prevented the study of the book of Revelation in the past.  Men’s bloodthirsty views caused many of us to conclude that there were multiple cataclysms ahead and that we should simply brace for a worldwide shaking which would cause many to lose hope and possibly their salvation.  95% of the world would be “left behind” to suffer while the elite would be sitting on some cloud in Heaven playing a golden harp and gazing at the streets of translucent gold.

When this great spiritual earthquake occurs, a tenth of the city fell.  This is a tithe offering.  It is a surety payment for the rest of creation.  The Sons are this very offering presented to FATHER on behalf of the rest of creation.  We were called to “occupy” until His return.  Where do you think we are during the occupation?  In the “city”.  The tithe is the firstfruit offering for all of creation.  It is inspected to determine its maturity and upon approval, the rest of the harvest is ready to begin.

On February 12th-14th, 1948, a tremor occurred.  This is when the “latter rain” movement began.  It didn’t begin on a feast day but it was just another Thursday as people continued to spiritually press in and by Saturday, Valentine’s Day (the Day of Love), it was in full swing.  The impact of this time of prophesying of things to come continues even if in a subtle fashion.  It came forth to give us notice that something much greater is ahead. We have read about the many wondrous miracles of healing, the outworking of Tongues speaking in languages, unknown to the person empowered, but witnessed and understood by those of that particular native tongue.  Many prophecies came forth as well as their manifestations.  Very few of those who participated in that tremor are still alive today but they wrote about the various manifestations of HIS power and authority.  This has been passed down to us so that we might expect the great quake to come forth in our time.  Sixty-six years have passed since that day the SPIRIT manifested that movement and it DID shake up everyone involved.  This movement was as a seed and it needed to die in order to bring forth the fullness.

7,000 people were “killed”.  Where else do we find this prophetic number?  It occurs at the end of Elijah’s ministry just before Elisha is chosen to replace Elijah.  Jezebel had threatened to take Elijah’s life and he had fled… possibly the first marathon runner recorded.  He thought he was the only one left to deal with the unrighteous.  He had been used by FATHER to deal with the 450 prophets of Baal.  In 1 Kings 19, FATHER reveals a secret:

18   “Yet I have reserved seven thousand in Israel, all whose knees have not bowed to Baal, and every mouth that has not kissed him.”

There was a remnant reserved for FATHER’S use.  This remnant is “dead” to religious Babylon for these have not bowed their knee to the “covering” of men but instead are outside the camp being trained up by FATHER.  These 7,000 names of people were of no reputation.  They did not seek the pride of life but instead stayed hidden from the world not unlike those seven thousand at the end of Elijah’s ministry.  These represent the apprehended ones being Spiritually perfected, dying to the flesh.  What is the result?  Those remaining were terrified.  Why?  They thought their current path was the correct one only to find out they missed it!

The second “woe” has now passed.  Recall Revelation chapter 8 when after four trumpets had sound that the angel proclaimed the three woes:

13 And I looked, and I heard an angel flying through the midst of heaven, saying with a loud voice, “Woe, woe, woe to the inhabitants of the earth, because of the remaining blasts of the trumpet of the three angels who are about to sound!”

The sixth trumpet’s purpose has now been completed.  The remnant has been removed from spiritual Babylon and has been summoned up to the third Heaven.  The inhabitants of the earth are in the midst of great sorrow, affliction, and distress.  They are being shaken at the very foundation of their beliefs.  What a truly great earthquake it is!  The elect looked forward to this great earthquake removing any similitude of carnality trying to hang on in their midst.  They have forsaken all to follow Jesus.  No trappings of this world are able to remain attached to them in any respect.  This great earthquake is one of grace as well as judgment depending on the path you are on.

“Behold, the third woe is coming quickly”.  This statement would lead us to conclude the fifth and sixth trumpets which correspond to the first two woes are of a notable span of time versus the seventh trumpet.  The sixth trumpet specifically references two halves of seven- 3 1/2 years and 3 1/2 days.  Once we have been perfected, the seventh trumpet will come quickly.  When Jesus was speaking to the church at Ephesus concerning them losing their first Love, He spoke of coming quickly:

Revelation 2:4   Nevertheless I have this against you, that you have left your first love.

5 Remember therefore from where you have fallen; repent and do the first works, or else I will come to you quickly and remove your lampstand from its place—unless you repent.

Also at the church of Pergamos:

14 But I have a few things against you, because you have there those who hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balak to put a stumbling block before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed to idols, and to commit sexual immorality.

15 Thus you also have those who hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitans, which thing I hate. 16 Repent, or else I will come to you quickly and will fight against them with the sword of My mouth.

The third woe speaks of great sorrow, affliction, and distress and it will be especially among the religious churches.  Jesus provided the seven churches with messages dealing with their issues and challenges.  The mysteries in this last book are all about arising out of the depths of carnality and entering into HIS Rest as Sons of Love.  Those who have disregarded the call will observe and experience a great earthquake.  Their entire foundation will be shaken like never before.

Revelation 11:11 Now after the three-and-a-half days the breath of life from God entered them, and they stood on their feet, and great fear fell on those who saw them.

12 And they heard a loud voice from heaven saying to them, “Come up here.” And they ascended to heaven in the cloud, and their enemies saw them.

For 1,260 days or 3 1/2 years the two witnesses prophesied of things to come.  Upon completion of this ministry, they were slain by the beast and suffered death for 3 1/2 days.  This time period denotes a period of seven representing completion.  Just as Jesus ministered on earth for 3 1/2 years and then died and was resurrected in just days, these witnesses are following a similar pattern.

Our Heavenly Father breathed life into Adam’s nostrils which began his walk in a glorified body even if only on a temporary basis of 33 1/2 years.  Bonnie Gaunt studied the timing through numbers.  It was revealed to her for the perfecting of the time sequences and for all the pieces of the puzzle to fit together,  the timespan of Adam’s life before the fall was determined to be 33 1/2 years.  Hence, Jesus was to reverse the curse in the same period of time… like bookends.

In Ezekiel 37, FATHER breathed life in the whole house of Israel:

4 Again He said to me, “Prophesy to these bones, and say to them, ‘O dry bones, hear the word of the LORD!

5 Thus says the Lord GOD to these bones: “Surely I will cause breath to enter into you, and you shall live.

6 I will put sinews on you and bring flesh upon you, cover you with skin and put breath in you; and you shall live. Then you shall know that I am the LORD.” ’ ”

To what purpose?

13 Then you shall know that I am the LORD, when I have opened your graves, O My people, and brought you up from your graves.

14 I will put My Spirit in you, and you shall live, and I will place you in your own land. Then you shall know that I, the LORD, have spoken it and performed it,” says the LORD.’ ”

Our Heavenly Father takes on the responsibility to breathe Divine life (zōē) into HIS apprehended ones.  For a time the elect have been challenged at every turn and have been at the point of losing hope, yet FATHER’S promises are sure and irrevocable.  The day is soon coming when HE will intervene and bring forth the fullness of HIS Saints as the army of THE LORD.  This fully functioning Body of CHRIST will have the anointing beyond measure and walk in Spiritual perfection.  They will be called by a loud Voice from Heaven to “come up hither” .  As they ascend in a cloud their enemies will not only see them but will come to realize the truth of all of the words they spoke.  They are now ascending to the fullness of their calling.  These Sons will ascend into the very same cloud that received Jesus:

Acts 1:9  Now when He had spoken these things, while they watched, He was taken up, and a cloud received Him out of their sight.

10 And while they looked steadfastly toward heaven as He went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel,

11 who also said, “Men of Galilee, why do you stand gazing up into heaven? This same Jesus, who was taken up from you into heaven, will so come in like manner as you saw Him go into heaven.”

This cloud is the brilliance of HIS Shekinah Glory. It is the same cloud that is seen throughout Scripture, seen by Moses, seen by the children of Israel, and seen by the sons of Thunder when Jesus was glorified before their eyes on the mount of Transfiguration.  Both Jesus and the Sons ascend into THE cloud but as we saw in Revelation Chapter 1, Jesus and His army comes as many clouds:

7  Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen.

The Sons of Love are now taking on the incorruptible and are being raised from the dead.  Death has lost its sting and cannot keep the Sons from ascending in Love to meet the King of Kings in the “air”, the third Heaven.  They have been processed into full and complete Spiritual perfection and they can now proclaim “As He is so are we”.  These are the same Ones who are represented not as one cloud but as clouds (plural) that Daniel saw in his vision in Daniel chapter 7:

13 ​​“I was watching in the night visions,

​​And behold, One like the Son of Man,

​​Coming with the clouds of heaven!

​​He came to the Ancient of Days,

​​And they brought Him near before Him.

14 ​​Then to Him was given dominion and glory and a kingdom,

​​That all peoples, nations, and languages should serve Him.

​​His dominion is an everlasting dominion,

​​Which shall not pass away,

​​And His kingdom the one

​​Which shall not be destroyed.

How wonderful is this final book I call the fifth Gospel of Love that contains the mysteries hidden in plain sight only to be unlocked in due time.  They not only speak of Jesus Christ the One but His Body of apprehended ones, the remnant, the elect, the Sons of GOD, also known as clouds in Daniel’s vision.  Paul refers to this time in 2 Thessalonians:

7   …when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven with His mighty angels,

8 in flaming fire taking vengeance on those who do not know God, and on those who do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ.

9 These shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of His power,

10 when He comes, in that Day, to be glorified in His saints and to be admired among all those who believe, because our testimony among you was believed.

This cloud becomes a multitude of clouds as we are glorified together with Him!  Not one of us by our own power, ability, or profession can ascend into the Cloud of Glory.  It is only by FATHER Who calls us with a loud Voice are we able to “come up hither”.  Who do you think HE will be calling?  Many are called but few are chosen.  It is those who answer HIS call and are not too busy to focus on those things from Above.  They endeavor to please HIM as maturing Sons who hunger and thirst after righteousness, becoming the express image of HIM.  They know to be about their FATHER’S business.  They seek HIM early, late, and in-between.  They depart from the noise of the world in order to hear that still, small voice.  When they err, they are quick to repent.  They know there is nothing wrong to aspire to the heights of the third Heaven.  The know HIS Love is great enough to restore all of mankind and realize HE has made a pathway, be it a narrow one, for those who want to enter in early so as to be a part of that great army called to bring forth righteousness to the earth.  They read these words and their spirit is a witness thus raising the energetic frequencies throughout the body little by little, day by day. 

We fully expect to be resurrected and hear that loud Voice say “Come up hither!”.  Paul saw this as well when he wrote:

Ephesians 1:15 Therefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all the saints,

16 do not cease to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers:

17 that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him,

18 the eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that you may know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints,

19 and what is the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who believe, according to the working of His mighty power.

I say Amen!

Revelation 11:7 When they finish their testimony, the beast that ascends out of the bottomless pit will make war against them, overcome them, and kill them.

8 And their dead bodies will lie in the street of the great city which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified.

9 Then those from the peoples, tribes, tongues, and nations will see their dead bodies three-and-a-half days, and not allow their dead bodies to be put into graves.

10 And those who dwell on the earth will rejoice over them, make merry, and send gifts to one another, because these two prophets tormented those who dwell on the earth.

The witnesses finished their testimony and denotes an end or consummation.  The Age of Pentecost has ended and must die in order for the next Age to arise and be fulfilled.  The new day is preceded by the darkness of the former day and so to it is necessary that the old order pass away before the new order comes forth in power and authority.  The new Age does not build on the Age of Pentecost but instead replaces this prior Age and “behold all things become new”.  Once the witnesses have finished and completed their work, their anointing is lifted so that they can die, not one day early nor one day late.  Jesus was destined to complete His ministry on earth at the exact time of the sacrifice of the Lamb at Passover.  No matter what His enemies intended, He would not be subject to death until that very minute at 3:01 PM local time.  His destiny was preordained before He entered the womb of Mary.  He sensed this in His heart at an early age and walked it out in full submission to FATHER’S Divine Intent of Love.

The beast of the carnal nature of man has come to slay the Living Word and the SPIRIT, known as the two witnesses.  Their death is visible in the city of man’s carnal religion depicted by Sodom known for its perversion and Egypt, known for its bondage and control.  This is no different than when the earthly ministry of Jesus had culminated with His death by the hands of the religious leaders of Jerusalem.  Herod’s Temple was at the center but the Glory of HIS Presence was nowhere to be found.  Man’s religion killed the first begotten Son so that He would descend first unto death and rise again unto His Throne.  The Age of Passover had to “die” so the Age of Pentecost could come forth.  This cycle of seedtime and harvest is once again at hand and the beast will fulfill its function without understanding the mystery that the death of the two witnesses will result in resurrection and life thereafter.

The bottomless pit is one of illusion, it’s a lie.  Carnal men’s illusions have put to death the ministry of the Living Word.  Their illusions and perceptions have replaced truth and they continue to build their houses on a foundation of sand.  Soon their houses will come to destruction as the army of THE LORD will mount up with an all-consuming fire coming forth out of their mouths that will destroy those lies and illusions.  Where do these false doctrines, religions, and illusions arise?  Jesus revealed to us in Mark 7:

20 And He said, “What comes out of a man, that defiles a man.

21 For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders,

22 thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lewdness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness.

23 All these evil things come from within and defile a man.”

The bottomless pit is within the heart of man and the “beast” is what kills the Living Word and SPIRIT.  The old man will go to extremes to thwart the new man but as the new man matures, the old man will make one final attempt to exalt himself.  In a counterintuitive fashion, death comes forth first which results in life.  What a mystery!

What could come out of you or me to “kill” the Living Word and HIS SPIRIT.  I do not believe it is in the physical but has to do with what we would think of as “delay”.  In 1987 I was given a vision that a group of businessmen would “fund the end-time Gospel”.  I assumed it would happen within 12 months and looked for a means of funding to come forth.  Do you know what manifested in 1988 relating to this vision?   Nothing!  I felt discouragement,  I was questioning the visions, I began to have doubts and fears, and I felt somewhat dejected.  I had spoken to some men about this vision whom I thought would be a part.  When the vision did not manifest according to my time frame, I was disappointed.  Each time I would reach a new low concerning this vision, FATHER would send a prophet across my path and speak a word of encouragement.  These men and women would come from different locales and diverse backgrounds and all would reference the vision without knowing it accept by HIS SPIRIT.  This occurred literally hundreds of times.  Finally I became settled that when HIS time was at hand, HE would bring forth the manifestation in whatever fashion.  I began to rest.  I had to let the vision”die” knowing the HE would resurrect it whenever HE was ready.  The beast will employ fear, uncertainty, and doubt to kill the Living Word but the apprehended ones know that as the old man dies, the new man comes forth.  Don’t you know that the disciples were filled with this same fear, uncertainty, and doubt when Jesus died on the cross?  Yet soon they would see the result.

Religious Babylon is the great city where the dead bodies lie in the street.  The apprehended ones have been called out of the religious church.  You will notice that the congregations will view their departure as a form of death to the previous relationships.  Those who depart are often ridiculed as outcasts.  Their departure often removed the conviction placed on those who remained.  As the conviction departed, the congregation would by “merry” as though the departure was a positive thing.  Little did they realize that the anointing of the apprehended ones brought forth revelation which would have otherwise been withheld.  Ignorance is NOT bliss!  Sometimes the leadership would verbally assault those who departed in order to justify their traditions and interpretations of Scripture.  They did not want to lose control of the remaining congregation.  Jesus summed it up in John 15:

18 “If the world hates you, you know that it hated Me before it hated you.

19 If you were of the world, the world would love its own. Yet because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you.”

The merriment of the world will be short-lived.  Their addiction to the deafening soulish music and numbing entertainment will be exposed and they will no longer be able to drown out the Living Word coming forth from the Sons.  In the end, the beast’s days are numbered.

Revelation 11:. 3 And I will give power to my two witnesses, and they will prophesy one thousand two hundred and sixty days, clothed in sackcloth.”

4 These are the two olive trees and the two lampstands standing before the God of the earth.

5 And if anyone wants to harm them, fire proceeds from their mouth and devours their enemies. And if anyone wants to harm them, he must be killed in this manner.

6 These have power to shut heaven, so that no rain falls in the days of their prophecy; and they have power over waters to turn them to blood, and to strike the earth with all plagues, as often as they desire.

These two witnesses walk in the fullness of humility, brokenness, and meekness.  They do not promote or exalt themselves.  In one sense they know the time is not yet fully come but in another sense they know it is eminent and critical for them to come forth “in the midst” of this time.  They are standing before GOD of the earth and Jesus referenced them in His Sermon on the Mount:

Matthew 5:5  Blessed are the meek,
For they shall inherit the earth.

The Sons are the inheritors and they represent the two witnesses to the point they are becoming the two witnesses.  They desire no reputation for the locusts have been driven out of the bottomless pit of their hearts.  They are at the point of the seventh and final trumpet being sounded denoting their perfecting.  Their citizenship is now being accepted in Heaven and they are no longer of the world.

Fire proceeding out of their mouth refers to the fiery WORD, not some literal weapon of mass destruction.  This is actually a “weapon of mass conversion”.  The fire’s job is to burn away the wood, hay, and stubble in men’s lives in order that they might be purged and purified ultimately to become inhabitants of the holy city.  They will soon give up their citizenship to Mystery Babylon.  Their trust and reliance on this house of cards will soon be revealed.

The one witness refers to the Spiritual gifts and calling of Elijah, not Elijah himself for he was simply another vessel.  He called down the fire from Heaven as directed by FATHER.  He could do nothing of his own accord but saw and heard in the SPIRT and operated as a witness to the power and authority from Above.  What Elijah started, Elisha continued with a double portion of the miracles of Elijah’s ministry, sixteen in all and the number of Love.

A lack of rain brings forth a dearth in the land.  No rain, no food.  A famine ensues and the people move their focus to simply sustaining life.  Oh how it differs from the abundance found in Heaven.  Jesus never had an issue with a lack of supply.  The issue is the access to the supply.  This one witness could cut off the supply of rain as directed by FATHER.  He could also turn water into blood (death in this sense) and bring forth plagues as forms of judgments against the carnal flesh.

I would submit that there has been a dearth in the land since the time of the latter rain movement.  Yes there have been movements of the SPIRIT and revivals but those who were in the midst of that time of ministry are gone or discredited.  There has been a time of “strange fire” trying to whip up some true anointing but it has been done by men without the full support of the Living Word and SPIRIT.  During this time though, the Sons have been moving out of childhood into full maturity just as the children in the wilderness waited 40 years to enter into the Promised Land led by Joshua, not Moses.

Peter spoke on the Day of Pentecost, at the beginning of the age, and quoted a passage from the book of Joel:

Acts 2:14 But Peter, standing up with the eleven, raised his voice and said to them, “Men of Judea and all who dwell in Jerusalem, let this be known to you, and heed my words. 15 For these are not drunk, as you suppose, since it is only the third hour of the day. 16 But this is what was spoken by the prophet Joel:

​17 ​‘​And it shall come to pass in the last days, says God,

​​That I will pour out of My Spirit on all flesh;

​​Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy,

​​Your young men shall see visions,

​​Your old men shall dream dreams.

18 ​​And on My menservants and on My maidservants

​​I will pour out My Spirit in those days;

​​And they shall prophesy.

This is the “former” rain at the beginning of the Age of Pentecost.  Men were given a measure of the Holy Spirit and operated in diverse gifts but not in the fullness as Jesus displayed.  This former rain changed many lives and set the stage for the latter rain to come forth.  Hosea prophesied of this time in chapter 6:

1 Come, and let us return to the LORD;

​​For He has torn, but He will heal us;

​​He has stricken, but He will bind us up.

2 ​​After two days He will revive us;

​​On the third day He will raise us up,

​​That we may live in His sight.

3 ​​Let us know,

​​Let us pursue the knowledge of the LORD.

​​His going forth is established as the morning;

​​He will come to us like the rain,

​​Like the latter and former rain to the earth.

“The third day” is reckoned to be now.  Now is the time for us to fulfill this true “latter rain” of HIS Presence and live in HIS SiGHT.  We are to become HIS Presence manifested on earth.  We are to be the embodiment of the Living Word and HIS SPIRIT to all mankind.  The “latter rain” movement of the 40’s and early 50’s had to die in order to be resurrected later.  The seed was planted then but needed to die that we might live.  Two days, or two thousand years, have passed since the former rain.  September 11th, 1999, was reckoned to be Jesus’ two thousandth birthday.  Some of us marked it with a celebration at Port Austin, Michigan.  A full page ad was taken out in the international version of the USA Today newspaper.  All the earth was put on notice that the third day was at hand.

John 7:37 On the last day, that great day of the feast (of Tabernacles), Jesus stood and cried out, saying, “If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink. 38 He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.” 39 But this He spoke concerning the Spirit, whom those believing in Him would receive; for the Holy Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus was not yet glorified.

Jesus prophesied of the former rain of Living Water to be given on the Day of Pentecost.  The SPIRT is the Living Water, the latter rain preparing to come forth in its fullness.  This latter rain is specifically tied to the Feast of Tabernacles, the final feast of the year.  In the book of Zechariah chapter 14, he prophesies of this time and eludes to the ministry of the two witnesses of Revelation 11:

16 And it shall come to pass that everyone who is left of all the nations which came against Jerusalem shall go up from year to year to worship the King, the LORD of hosts, and to keep the Feast of Tabernacles.

17 And it shall be that whichever of the families of the earth do not come up to Jerusalem to worship the King, the LORD of hosts, on them there will be no rain.

18 If the family of Egypt will not come up and enter in, they shall have no rain; they shall receive the plague with which the LORD strikes the nations who do not come up to keep the Feast of Tabernacles.

19 This shall be the punishment of Egypt and the punishment of all the nations that do not come up to keep the Feast of Tabernacles.

The ministry of these two witnesses is the final notice before the sounding of the seventh trumpet announcing the perfection of the Sons has been completed.  When the fullness of Love has manifested, prophecies will cease for they will no longer need to announce the coming of the manifestation of the Sons as the mature Body of Christ.  The earth has groaned in travail for this day to come.  The ministry of the two witnesses have completed their testimony.  The seventh trumpet will soon be raised.  But just before this seventh trumpet, “the beast” must be dealt with.  It is all part of the plan.

Revelation 11:3 And I will give power to my two witnesses, and they will prophesy one thousand two hundred and sixty days, clothed in sackcloth.”

4 These are the two olive trees and the two lampstands standing before the God of the earth.

“My two witnesses” now has the focus set before John.  You must recall that John was among the three who went up to the mount of transfiguration with Jesus and saw two other witnesses:

Luke 9:28 Now it came to pass, about eight days after these sayings, that He took Peter, John, and James and went up on the mountain to pray. 29 As He prayed, the appearance of His face was altered, and His robe became white and glistening. 30 And behold, two men talked with Him, who were Moses and Elijah, 31 who appeared in glory and spoke of His decease which He was about to accomplish at Jerusalem.

Moses and Elijah were witnesses pre-dating the resurrection and pointed to the Law and the prophetic Spirit but now we have two other witnesses.  The law bespeaks of the ministration of death and the prophetic Spirit points to Life but in the future sense.  The word “My” indicates these two witnesses are of Jesus Christ and point to the present time, the culmination of the previous two witnesses.  These two witnesses presented to John are the Living Word and the SPIRIT.  The Word of Life has come to replace the Law and the SPIRIT of the here and now has replaced the prophetic Spirit.  Now is the time!

Acts 1:7 And He (Jesus) said to them, “It is not for you to know times or seasons which the Father has put in His own authority. 8 But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.”

The last words spoken to the disciples before Jesus ascended focused on the Holy Spirit.  Jesus was the WORD made flesh thus He was the Living Word walking among them yet the Holy Spirit was not yet imparted to them.  The Age of Pentecost was a time of transition from the Law to the fullness of the Living Word and SPIRIT.  It has been a time of growing, processing, and separating.  The Age of Pentecost could not bring forth the Kingdom even though a multitude of ministers tried to bring down the Glory by their own power and proclamation.  They were but vain attempts by the carnal man to fix the old man rather than let him die and bring forth the new man. 

1,260 days represents 42 months or 3 1/2 years and all three presentations represent incompletion of the time of Spiritual maturity and perfection.  The two witnesses of Christ are presented in the midst of the progression in the Book of Revelation.  There is more to accomplish for the outer court and the holy city are not yet ready to be measured.

These two witnesses represent the Sons who are now maturing to become the full express image of FATHER, they are to express the Living Word with the fullness of HIS SPIRIT.  Their hearts and their minds are being purified and perfected and they are to “see GOD” and fully represent HIM to mankind.  They are called to prophesy and prepare mankind for the coming Glory for they are the firstfruits which represent the first of the full harvest yet to come.  They are to become truly credible witnesses of FATHER’S power and authority and give notice to all of what is about to take place.  John was designated to be the “seed”  of the elect, the Sons of GOD.  He was called to initiate the revealing of Jesus Christ.  The Beloved disciple had the proper intent of Love and diligently wrote what he saw as he ascended to the third Heaven.  He prophesied of future events under the anointing of the Holy Spirit.  These mysteries have been sealed up until this time until the rest of the elect could be prepared for the full outpouring of THE SPIRIT.  Our humanity would try to convince us that there have been delays to the point of unbelief.  However, HE is patient for HIS work within us to come to full perfection.  Time is no issue to ONE Who is not subject to it.

These two witnesses refer to a vision given Zechariah in Chapter 4:

1 Now the angel who talked with me came back and wakened me, as a man who is wakened out of his sleep. 2 And he said to me, “What do you see?”

So I said, “I am looking, and there is a lampstand of solid gold with a bowl on top of it, and on the stand seven lamps with seven pipes to the seven lamps.

3 Two olive trees are by it, one at the right of the bowl and the other at its left.”

Zechariah did not understand what he was seeing and thus the angel gave him the revelation of the vision:

4 So I answered and spoke to the angel who talked with me, saying, “What are these, my lord?”

5 Then the angel who talked with me answered and said to me, “Do you not know what these are?”

And I said, “No, my lord.”

6 So he answered and said to me:

​​​“This is the word of the LORD to Zerubbabel:

​‘​Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit,’”

The Living Word and THE SPIRIT were the witnesses to be given to Zerubbabel.  His name means "sown in Babylon".  It was the time of physical Babylon whereas now we have been “sown” in Mystery Babylon.  The two olive trees provide the pure oil to be placed in the bowl to feed the seven lamps representing the priesthood.  The light of the priesthood is brought forth by HIS SPIRIT and Living Word to bring forth light unto all the world.  This light or revelation is prophetic in timing at this point, yet to be fully manifested.  But FATHER will always provide two witnesses before HE brings forth HIS purposes on earth.  These witnesses have the power and authority which confirms their credibility for all to see and hear.  They are giving notice.  These witnesses are the Sons who have been prepared for this hour.  Rejoice, for this is truly good news!  These Sons are nothing apart from the Living WORD and SPIRIT for they are simply vessels of honor to serve in their designated callings.  They have no predisposition to exalting themselves for they know they are nothing without FATHER’S impartation.  It is with great gratitude and Love they serve in this capacity.  The messenger doesn’t own the Message, he is simply called to transport to the ones who need to hear it.  Let us exalt OUR FATHER for HIS great plan of redemption and the revealing of this plan in the final book of HIS Love toward mankind.  They have embraced the words of Jesus:

John 6:63 “It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life.”
