The Second American Revolutionary/Civil War, Part 1
Rick Joyner
On December 14, 2018, I
had a dream about various attacks coming upon our country. I was also shown
those who would be sent out to counter each one.
In the dream, I was waiting in line to be
sent to fight one of these enemies when I was approached by an angel and told
that I had a different assignment. I was then taken to a large device that was
showing “A History of The American Republic from Heaven’s Perspective.”
As I watched this, I saw that if I walked
across the face of this device, to my right the times progressed toward the
present. I decided to go to the end to see heaven’s perspective on what was
happening now. When I came to the present, there was a sentence written in
brilliant glowing golden letters: “The Second American Revolutionary/Civil War
is inevitable, it is right, and it will be successful.”
From what I had seen as I
walked to see the present, I understood why this Revolutionary/Civil War was
“inevitable” and why it was “right.” As I stood pondering this, feeling that
this might be the most important revelation I had ever been trusted with, I
woke up. I felt that I had been given access to this history of “The American Republic”
from heaven’s perspective, and that I would be going back to it for more
understanding to help us prepare for what is to unfold.
We are already in the first stages of “The Second American
Revolutionary/Civil War.” I know this leads to
many questions, such as: What are the
sides? What are the issues? What is right about it? Most important of all, what
does success in this war look like from heaven’s perspective?
As the
saying goes, “If we do not change our direction we will end up where we are
headed.” We don’t have to be a prophet to see that we’re headed for civil war.
Even so, before the dream I felt that we still had a long way to go before it
became “inevitable.” In
the dream, I saw that we had already crossed that line and it is now upon us,
so we must change our strategy from trying to avoid it to winning it. To do
this, we must have heaven’s view of what winning looks like.
From
heaven’s perspective, we did not win the Revolutionary War. From heaven’s
perspective, that war was about more than just gaining our independence—it was
about liberty and a revolution in the government of men that would establish
and maintain liberty and justice for all. Some significant things were
accomplished in this war, but there were also some very basic ways that it fell
far short of what heaven viewed as successful. If the Founders had truly
believed that all men were created equal—what they declared to be the reason
for seeking independence—then slavery would not have been possible and the
Civil War would not have been inevitable.
If the Civil War had been successful
according to heaven’s perspective, then there would not have been a need for
such things as the Civil Rights Movement or many of the conflicts we are still
fighting. The Union may have prevailed in crushing the
rebellion and ended slavery, which was essential, but it did not prevail in a
way that established justice and equality for all. We will not accomplish our
purpose as a nation until there is justice and liberty for all. This is why
both the Revolutionary War and Civil War
must be fought again until there is a “successful” conclusion according to
heaven’s perspective.
In the
American Republic, liberty and justice are not just skewed because of race, but
they are also perverted by wealth, fame, politics, and other factors. If
liberty and justice are distorted at all it will be in both directions. The
wealthy may be able to afford lawyers that can get them out of just about
anything, but their wealth can also make them targets. The same is true of the
famous, the politically strong, etc.
Heaven
does not expect anything on earth to be perfect in this age. In fact, the
Scriptures state that even the best on the earth is but a shadow of the
heavenly, and the best on the earth now will still be but a shadow of what is
to come. However, when we are in the shadow of something, we are very close to
the real. The American Republic is called to be much closer to liberty and the
justice for all than we have yet attained. We are called to be an example of
these to the nations, not an example of the dysfunction of government that we
have now become.
We must also have heaven’s
perspective on war. We tend to think of war as pitched battles between standing
armies, but what is unfolding will not be like the Revolutionary War or the
Civil War in that way. There are some parallels with those wars that will
relate to our times, but many will not. However, this does not mean that what
we are now facing will be easier. The whole world is entering the most trying
times there has ever been. What we will be given to face them is a sure hope
from above that the outcome will be “successful.”
For at
least the first part of this year, I will be elaborating on the things I was
shown in this dream.
