A serious word of prophecy!
By Jan Willem van der Hoeven
Do not despise prophecies. Test all things; hold fast what is good.(1 Thessalonians 5:20, 21)
This is such an awesome word in its specificity and seriousness from a
loving and tenderhearted man, Maurice Sklar, also a magnificent violist,
whom I love and respect as a true brother and servant of the Lord, that I
feel to send it on almost in its entirety to you, hoping it will cause us
to seek the Lord with all of our hearts for cleansing and dedication to
His purposes and turning from everything that still keeps us captive. May
it be so!
THE PREPARATION OF THE BRIDE
"And to the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write? I know thy
works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot.
So then, because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spew
(vomit) thee out of my mouth. Because thou sayest, I am rich, and
increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou
art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked: I counsel
thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and
white rainment that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy
nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eye-salve, that thou
mayest see. As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous
therefore, and repent. Behold, I stand at the door and knock: if any man
hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup
with him, and he with me. To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with
me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father
in his throne. He that hath ears to hear, let him hear what the Spirit
saith unto the churches." ( Revelation 3:14-22)
As I was reading and meditating on this scripture, the Lord said to me:
"I am sending my refining fire into the church. I am
separating My bride from the Laodicean church of today. I am
preparing her. I am purifying her. She will be without spot and
without blemish. I will return for her in the midnight hour.
Only those that are watching and praying; only those who are embracing
the message of the cross and holiness; only those that walk in the power
of My spirit in moment by moment obedience; only those who are overcomers
will be a part of My bride.
Most of those in the church will not be ready for Me when I come for My
bride.
Many think they are saved, but they are not at all. They are
serving pleasures, lusts, and are in love with themselves. They are
consumed with this present world and its' selfish ways. They are in
love with money, success, and covet fame, position and power. They
do not want to deny themselves, take up their cross and follow Me. They
refuse to forsake all.
Therefore, they will not be ready and will be left
behind to face the great judgments that are about to come upon the world.
Warn those that are lukewarm and have left their first love for Me, that
if they do not repent, I will vomit them from My body.
I am preparing My bride. This is her hour of glory! I am purifying
her. I am adorning her with My crowns and My jewels and My
beautiful gowns. She shall be without spot or blemish. She will be
dressed in My robes of righteousness ? pure, clean and white.
Who
will come to Me and buy from Me what they so desperately need? It
still is not too late. Repent, and return to Me with all of
your hearts, so that you do not perish with this evil world.
I am sending a mighty army from mainland China along the old silk trade
routes and into the unreached nations that have been called the 10/40
window. When they finally reach Jerusalem, THEN KNOW that the
wedding day is upon you.
Look up, for your redemption draweth nigh. I
will then come in the clouds and meet you in the air! But, the remaining
nations must still hear my gospel of grace.
This will be the final and
greatest harvest that the world has ever seen.
Many hundreds of millions are waiting to hear the good news in China, in
India, and in the other Buddhist and Muslim dominated regions of Asia,
the near east and the middle east, as well as the poorest of nations in
Africa and central and South America, as well as the hundreds of islands
in the oceans of the earth.
I am shifting my focus to them.
But you, O
church of America and the West have prostituted yourself at every
opportunity before every high place and idol shrine. You have
substituted religion for My Presence. You shall surely perish when
the fullness of My wrath comes upon Babylon. You shall be utterly
burned with fire.
You have heard and received the fullness of My love and
grace, America. Still, you spit in My face and harden your hearts
and refuse to turn back to Me.
Europe, you rejected Me and threw Me out. For hundreds of years you
provoked Me to wrath. You despised My people Israel and slaughtered them
in a rage that reached to heaven after robbing the Jewish people and
throwing them out of nation after nation. You did this all in My
Name!!
How can you escape the wrath to come?! You cannot.
Therefore, you
shall receive and drink the fullness of My cup of wrath. Prepare to meet
your God, O Europe!
Europe, you shall receive ?the king? that you
desire to worship instead of Me. He is soon to come forth. When you
receive his mark, you will be eternally damned.
O Babylon, You drove My people from their homes in Gaza, and then started
upon Judea and Samaria in Israel. Therefore, I will drive you from
your homes in direct proportion, as you have seen in New Orleans,
Louisiana, and the Gulf Coast.
There will follow two more judgments
? one in a major city of Europe and one in the Arab nations in the middle
east before the end of this year.
I will shake California in a warning, and then there shall finally come
the earthquake that I have mercifully withheld for so many years.
Millions shall perish in the ensuing floods and the west coast of America
shall be removed and fall into the ocean. Boston shall experience a
major attack upon a great school that once preached My gospel in ages
past but has left the faith of their fathers ? never to return
again. It will never be rebuilt again.
There shall be 5
terrorist attacks that will hit America in ever increasing destruction
upon the major cities.
Before the end of 2007, a nuclear "dirty
bomb" will blow up in a major city in the south of America.
New York City will receive 3 major judgments before the end of
2008. Each
one will be more devastating than the last. One will shake the entire
financial world and cripple the once invincible financial power of
America. Millions will lose everything in a moment. It will make the
crash of the stock market in 1929 look like a little thing in
comparison. America will no longer be the financial leader of the world.
Another
judgment will destroy a major stadium during a sports event.
Yet another
explosion will destroy nearly an entire Borough of New York. But for the
sake of the Jewish people in New York, I will supernaturally spare
them.
After this, I will cause the largest aliyah (return) of My
people (the Jewish people) from New York (and other regions throughout
the developed world to Israel) in all of history. But only after
the entire financial system that they are dependant on collapses will
they all return to the land that I have promised them.
Tokyo, Japan. Hong Kong, China. Johannesburg, South Africa.
Calcutta, India. Sidney, Australia. Chicago, Illinois. Los
Angeles, California. Paris, France and many other cities will
experience major catastrophies in the next five years.
Millions upon millions will perish.
The aids epidemic will devastate the
population in Africa to half of its' present size in the next 4 years.
Many other incurable diseases, famine, drought and starvation will soon
devastate the under-developed nations of the world in a way that has
never occurred before.
North Korea will launch a sudden nuclear
attack and then be completely destroyed. Only the prayers of South Korea
can stop it.
Pakistan will become a leading center for world
terrorism and will experience a nuclear attack, also.
Israel is soon to once again send their planes and blow up the nuclear
"plants" of Iran.
Syria will soon collapse economically and be
replaced by a fanatical Islamic government.
A major coordinated Al Qaeda
terrorist attack will blow up many historic places in Europe that were
once bastions of true Christian faith, worship, art and music.
If America does not stand up now and defend Israel instead of forcing
Israel from their land, we will continue to face the devastating
consequences here.
This is but a fraction of what is soon to come if there is not repentance
and turning back to Me.
I will shake all the nations, and then after each disaster, I will pour
out My grace and bring in a mighty harvest of souls for My kingdom.
As
birth contractions happen with a pregnant woman, so will these events
happen ever faster and greater. Each one will be more devastating than
the last one, and each one will come closer and closer together.
Haven't I said exactly this in My Word?
Each disaster will judge and
smash an idol that is worshipped by the world system of Babylon. I will
then show Myself as the one true God over them all.
I will judge Hollywood and the entire movie industry for the millions
upon millions of souls that they seduced and sent to hell.
I will
judge the news media and the television industry.
I will judge the
music industry. I will overturn the whole music industry in such a
way that they can never pollute the world ever again.
I will judge the
internet pornography industry. Whole internet computer systems will be
permanently shut down.
I will judge the abortionists and their
supporters. I will judge and reverse the Supreme Court. For a
short time they shall change the laws to fear and honor Me.
There is coming a revival of morality and religion in America as a result
of these calamities, but it will be a false one for the most part. God
will become popular in the culture, but not the Bible and My name
(Jesus). It will be a false gospel message. Not many will
truly be born again. Only a remnant in My church will truly stay in right
relationship to Me.
When you see me take Billy Graham and Oral
Roberts home, you will know that America and the West have received their
last call.
As I said in My Word, unless the Father would
shorten these days, even the elect would not be saved. The deception of
"Christian religion" will grow so great, that it will be nearly
impossible to recognize the true prophets and teachers from the false
ones. Counterfeit miracles and false "signs and wonders"
will come and deceive many. Churches will preach a "success
and personal achievement" gospel. Even false healing meetings
will come and actually produce real miracles, but they will not bring the
people to Me.
The preaching of My supreme Lordship, the cross, My
blood, holiness, and the fear of the Lord will become more and more rare,
even more than it has become during the last 35 years.
Nevertheless, I have supernaturally preserved and kept My bride pure and
faithful to Me. I will continue to do so. Most of My bride is in mainland
China now. Many are in Asia, and Korea and India and Brazil and Russia
and Kenya and Nigeria and throughout Africa.
Most of My bride is
hidden away in their prayer closets and have been persecuted and driven
out of the churches by abusive pastors and false prophets, ministry
leaders, and oppressive government leaders. Many are in prison. Some are
daily dying of starvation and disease. Most of My bride has been beaten
and left by the side of the road by the religious 'wolves in sheep's
clothing'. They have been forgotten by the blinding greed of those
hoarding their money and riches.
Only the Good Samaritans can even
spot them and see them. The rest are blinded. Only a few really love My
bride the way that I do.
My bride is being purified through the fire of many trials of afflictions
and persecutions at this present hour.
Those that walk in My love and
embrace the cross are being separated and persecuted by the Laodicean
church. Those that are truly anointed and bringing the pure Word
from My throne are being thrown out of the pulpits of the land and off of
'Christian Television' in favor of the confession of the Laodicean
church: 'I am rich, I am increased with goods and have need of
nothing. I am healed. I am blessed.' Really????
Are you???? It doesn't look that way from My throne in heaven!
Beware of any teaching that is selfish and appeals to your lusts and
feeds the love of money in your lives. THAT teaching does not come from
heaven. That is not My voice. My blessings come through seeking
first the Kingdom and My righteousness, not from heaping riches upon
yourself while the rest of the world starves to death and dies and goes
to hell because of your selfishness and greed.
You will see when
you stand before Me what the TRUE RICHES are. The souls of the lost are
the jewels in the crown of My bride.
My worshippers and musicians, artists and those that carry special
anointings have been almost systematically removed from ministries and
church leaders in favor of what is popular and can bring in the most
money and please the people. This is an abomination in My sight.
Watch and pray that you may be accounted worthy to escape the things that
are coming upon this earth. Receive My grace through the refining
fire of the Holy Spirit so that you can be a part of that beautiful lady
and bride. I am preparing her! It still isn't too late! Join with
her and take up your cross and deny yourselves and follow Me.
That is how to be TRULY blessed and healed and delivered and fulfilled in
life! That is the only way that My gift of eternal life can shine
into the darkness of the world around you"
"Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the
Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you, and will
be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the
Lord Almighty?Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us
cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting
holiness in the fear of God." (1 Corinthians 6:17-18, 7:1)
"And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her
(Babylon), my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye
receive not of her plagues." (Revelation 18:4)
