The Second American Revolutionary/Civil War, Part 8
Rick Joyner
Over the last 30+ years, I’ve been
given dreams that I now understand relate to the reason for the Second American
Revolutionary/Civil War. I did not see them as such when I received them, but
since my dream on December 14, 2018 they have all come into remarkable focus. I
will share these in this study where they fit to help us relate to what is now
unfolding.
In 1987, I
was shown in a prophetic experience that we had been turning to the left as a
nation for a long time. I was also shown a coming sharp turn to the left. I was
not shown whether this was good or bad, just that it would happen. I was then
shown a reaction to this and a turn back to the right. I saw that we would
never again make a sharp turn to the left, but there was a danger that we would
go too far to the right.
I wrote about this in my book, The Harvest. That is also when I was told that an eagle needs both
a right wing and a left wing to fly. When the weight shifted to the extreme on
either wing, it would crash. So the warning was that extreme turns to the right
or left could bring us down.
A few years after this, I thought that
the extreme turn to the left was with the Clinton Administration. Then I was
sure it had to be the Obama Administration that turned the country much further
to the left than Clinton. The Trump Administration seems to be the beginning of turning back to
the right. Now we have the rise of the new socialists that seem even further to
the left, but at this point they do not have the influence to turn the country.
What they can do is cause a reaction to tempt us to go even further to the
right than we should. The extremes on both the right and the left are enemies
of what we are called to be.
So will the right or the left lead us
to our destiny, our Promise Land? Neither will. Something much higher than
either of these is coming.
With
the increasingly extreme political clamor, it is going to take a new generation
of transcendent leadership to both see and steer us toward our destiny and
purpose.
I’ve studied history for over half a century, and
I’ve never seen such remarkable leaders gathered in one place at the same time
as I saw in our Founding Fathers. With the possible exception of a mature
Lincoln, who he was at the end of his life, it could be argued that we have not
had such transcendent leaders since our founding as a nation. What we need now,
and what we will be given again, is not just one transcendent leader, but
another group of them so that together they will be considered the “new
Founding Fathers.” We can also expect some of these to be mothers. The mother
element is necessary to see the full vision of what we’re called to be.
Somehow we must stop thinking right and left, and
start looking up, back to our roots. We
also need to see our place in The Scriptures, such as Revelation 12:13-16:
And when the dragon
saw that he was thrown down to the earth, he persecuted the woman who gave
birth to the man-child.
But the two wings of
the great eagle were given to the woman, so that she could fly into the
wilderness to her place, where she was nourished for a time and times and half
a time, from the presence of the serpent.
And the serpent poured
water like a river out of his mouth after the woman, so that he might cause her
to be swept away with the flood.
But the earth helped
the woman, and the earth opened its mouth and drank up the river which the
dragon poured out of his mouth.
Until the Advent Movement of 1844, this text was
almost universally believed by Protestants and evangelical movements to be
speaking about America. The woman
here is considered to be who the Apostle Paul referred to as “Jerusalem above
who is our mother.” The male child
who will rule the nations is Christ, who was born through the nation of Israel
and is now being born through the church of those who have been born of Christ
by the Spirit. During the Inquisition, the worst persecution against
Protestants and Jews in which it was estimated that as many as 50 million in
Europe were tortured and killed, the “earth opened” with the discovery of
America. This flood of persecution was then swallowed up as the nations of
Europe gave their attention to populating this “new world.”
Of course, the symbol of the United States is the eagle. In the text, we see that “two wings of a great eagle” were given
to help the woman, the church, who was carried to a wilderness, which is what
America was at that time. Many, if not most, of the first colonists were
Protestant Christians and Jews fleeing the persecution in Europe.
For this reason, it seems that one of our basic
purposes as a nation is to be a haven for the persecuted Christians and Jews.
To this day, Christians and Jews remain the most persecuted people of all. This
is not to say that we should not be a haven for other persecuted peoples, but a
main purpose that we have is to be a haven for persecuted Christians and Jews,
the people who have carried the seed of Christ—the “man-child.”
For this reason, the American Republic is called to be a Judeo-Christian nation. We are not a post-Christian nation, we are
a pre-Christian nation. Wait and
see.
