He
that believeth on Me, as the Scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow
rivers of living water.
John 7:38 KJV
Rivers of living water
Bold as a lion
The wicked flee when no man
pursueth: but the righteous are bold as a lion.
Proverbs 28:1 KJV
The Light of the world - The Light of Life
“I am The Light of the world: he that followeth Me shall not walk in
darkness, but shall have The Light of Life.”
John 8:12 KJV
Draw Me Into Your Presence
Oh how great is Thy Goodness, which Thou hast laid up for them that fear Thee; which Thou hast wrought for them that trust in Thee before the sons of men!
Thou shalt hide them in the secret of Thy Presence from the
pride of man: Thou shalt keep them secretly in a pavilion from the strife of
tongues.

ALARMING DEVELOPMENT!
By Nick Giambruno
A new “global government” issued a shocking proposal that could “reset” your taxes — HIGHER.
If you own property… or have more than $5,000 in the bank...
You could pay higher property and income tax…
Including a new and outrageous “World Tax”.
It’s all part of a “Great Reset” agenda.
Peace at the Feet of Jesus - Benny Hinn
Peace at the Feet of Jesus
Benny Hinn
I've been asked again and again during recent days, "What do you think is going to happen? What should Christians be planning to do over the coming days? What can we expect? Why do I feel such fear?"
We stand on the edge of challenging choices, and this Scripture keeps welling up from inside me: "Give your entire attention to what God is doing right now, and don't get worked up about what may or may not happen tomorrow. God will help you deal with whatever hard things come up when the time comes" (Matthew 6:34 MSG).
As for me, I choose to stand upon God's Word, and I feel such a certainty that a release of blessings upon covenant believers is coming that will be unlike anything we've ever seen before. More importantly, it's coming sooner than you can imagine!
Revival or We Die - Dr Michael Brown
REVIVAL OR WE DIE: A GREAT AWAKENING IS OUR ONLY HOPE
On the brink of collapse, our nation’s only hope is a visitation of God’s power and presence.
What will heal the deep racial, social, and political divisions that are tearing us apart? How can we stop the evil of human trafficking? What can turn the rising tide of opioid addiction? What will cure the epidemic of fatherless homes? Man-made laws and policies don’t hold the answers. Social programs and initiatives fall hopelessly short. There is no political solution.
We must have divine visitation. We must have awakening. We must have revival.
In Revival or We Die, respected biblical scholar, bestselling author, and radio host, Dr. Michael Brown calls the American Church back to God and His Kingdom purposes. He presents a prophetic “state of the union” address, offering a candid look at the United States and revealing why our only hope is a true spiritual awakening.
The First Resurrection
THE BOOK OF REVELATION
How It Will All Be Fulfilled!
GOD has called "the Church" to
continually receive Revelation of 'coming Major-Events.'
She was called to preach and prophesy
"the Coming Kingdom Age!"
Now You Will Understand the Sequence of
Prophetic Events in the Bible!
How It Will All Be Fulfilled!
'The Church Age,' The Seven Seals, The
Seven Trumpets, The Seven Vials, ‘Rise of Babylon and the Beast,’ The Great Tribulation,
The First Resurrection, The Great Day of God’s Wrath, ‘The Fall of Babylon,’
The Marriage Supper of The Lamb, The
Second Coming of Christ, ‘Armageddon,’ ‘the Imprisonment of Satan in the Abyss,’
The Millennial Reign of Christ, ‘the Release of Satan from the Abyss,’ ‘The War
of Gog and Magog,’ ‘the Casting of Satan into the lake of fire,’ The Great
White Throne Judgment, New Heaven and New Earth, The New Jerusalem, and ‘The
Eternal Perfect State.’
Are You Ready to Discover What GOD's
Word says about 'Mysteries of the Ages,' future trouble and conflicts, wars,
plagues, woes, future blessings, destinies of nations, rise and fall of
Empires, Triumph of the True Church, Triumphant Christ, the Antichrist’s
Defeat, and Satan’s Defeat?
"The First Resurrection" ultimately will be “the manifestation
of the sons of GOD.” It will take place in the air, and it will be
"immediately after the tribulation of those days"— then shall appear
"the sign of The Son of Man in the clouds" and the world shall see
Him “coming in the clouds of Heaven with power and great glory."
But, just before this glorious event, the 144,000 God’s Elect
are sealed with The Father’s Name written on their foreheads.
“The Resurrection” is 'a mystery’ that will unfold in a time of
global crisis —"the Elect" shall be caught up through the four winds
of the earth, at the last sound of 'the trumpet'— bringing "the Church
Age" to an end.
NEXT MAJOR-EVENT
The First Resurrection
"Blessed and holy is he that hath part in The First Resurrection:
on such the second death hath no power…"
Revelation 20:6a KJV
What we refer to as “the Rapture” is called “The First
Resurrection” in Heaven—just as is written and revealed in The Book of
Revelation.
“The First
Resurrection” is for the holy saints and prophets.
“The First
Resurrection” is only for the true overcomers—they shall not be hurt by
“the second death.”
“…He that overcometh shall not be hurt of the second death” (Rev. 2:11b
KJV)
“I
believe “The First Resurrection” will take place at a time between ‘the Rise
and Fall of Mystery Babylon.’ ”
There is no specific time given in the Bible for the
event of “The First Resurrection.”
Our Lord Jesus said, “But of that day and
hour knoweth no man…”
Even the angels of
Heaven do not know the day nor the time.
“But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of
Heaven, but My Father only” (Matt 24:36 KJV).
“I
believe “The First Resurrection” will take place when The Lamb of God opens
“The Seventh Seal.”
"The First Resurrection" is for GOD's Elect.
This ‘supernatural phenomenon’ will bring “the Elect of GOD” into the Everlasting
Joy of The LORD.
“The First Resurrection” is for “the martyr saints of Jesus” and for all who have “the seal of The Living GOD.”
They are blessed and holy!
There are times and seasons in the future which GOD
THE FATHER has set in His Divine Authority. Jesus told His disciples, “But of that day and
hour knoweth no man…”
Just as there are ‘times and seasons’ in the natural,
so there are “the signs of the times”
(Matt. 16:1-4).
Day and night, meteorologists read the weather signs
in the sky, but, “the signs of the times”
can only be spiritually discerned.
There is also ‘a
prophetic hour’ for the fulfillment of some specific prophecies in
Scripture, such as in Matthew 26:45.
Another one is in Revelation 3:10.
The Church must be prepared and expectant of "the
Resurrection of the saints" as prophesied by our LORD. We must observe and
understand "the signs of the times,"
and analyze them by Prophecy of Scripture—to see what is at the door.'
The duty of prayer and watchfulness is assigned to
every true believer.
“Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come” (Matt.
24:42 KJV)
'The Resurrection' will be 'a separating day.'
“Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the
other left.
Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and
the other left” (Matt. 24:40-41 KJV).
It will be ‘a day’ when people of same age, place,
capacity, employment, and condition, in the world, ‘grinding in the same mill,’— those of the same family united by
blood; bond of marriage, were, one effectually called, the other passed by, and
left in the gall of bitterness.
If two were at work in the field together, and one of
them was transformed and taken up in glory, what then will become of the other?
If ‘two women’ were ‘grinding at the mill,’ and one of them called-away to be with The LORD,
what happens to the one left behind?
“The First Resurrection” will present “the redeemed of The LORD” as ‘spiritual-
firstfruits’— ‘the Excellent Glory of Christ’ shall be revealed in them. This
is what all creation awaits for — “the
manifestation of the sons of GOD.”
For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the
manifestation of the sons of God (Rom. 8:19 KJV).
GOD was manifested in the flesh (I Tim. 3:16), and
when His Awesome Glory and Majesty is revealed, all who have received adoption
as sons of GOD will be received up in glory.
GOD’s angels will gather together His “elect” from different points of the
earth’s horizon; out of every tribe and tongue, and people and nation.
They are “the
elect” according to the foreknowledge of GOD.
"The First Resurrection" will take place
immediately after “The Great Tribulation” (read Matt. 24:29-31).
After 'Heaven's Prophetic Announcement of coming
Divine Judgment' seen in "The Sixth
Seal" – which causes cosmic interferences, earthquake, and impairs the
solar system (Rev. 6:12-14), “the sign of
The Son of Man” will be seen in the clouds.
The stars will fall from the universe, and “the powers
of the heaven” will be shaken before “The Son of Man” is revealed in the clouds
(see Matt. 24:29-30).
“The First
Resurrection” will bring to a close—“the Church Age”.
All children of GOD — the patriarchs, the apostles, prophets,
and saints of all time who have fallen asleep in The LORD, shall take part in
“The First Resurrection.”
There will surely be ‘a divine order in the
Resurrection.’
Therefore, “\those
who fell asleep in The LORD” will rise first.
GOD’s children who are still awake (physically alive)
at this time, shall be ‘caught up’
together with ‘those who fell asleep in THE LORD.’
Christ is risen from the dead, and has become “The Firstfruits of those who have fallen
asleep” (I Cor. 15:20) — who shall be raised first.
First Corinthians 15:22-23 states:
For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made
alive.
But every man in his own order: Christ The Firstfruits; afterward
they that are Christ's at His coming (KJV).
“The First
Resurrection” will take place in the air when The LORD Himself shouts with
“the Voice of the Archangel” and with
“the Trump of GOD”.
“But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning
them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.
For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them
also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with Him.
For this we say unto you by The Word of The Lord, that we which
are alive and remain unto the Coming of The Lord shall not prevent them which
are asleep.
For The Lord Himself shall descend from Heaven with a shout, with
the Voice of the Archangel, and with the Trump of God: and the dead in Christ
shall rise first:
Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together
with them in the clouds, to meet The Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be
with The Lord.”
I Thess. 4:13-17 KJV
Just like “The
Ascension of Christ” (Acts 1:9-11), GOD’s people shall be taken up, through
the clouds.
“The First Resurrection” is for the remnant that is by
“the Election of Grace.”
“The First
Resurrection” is ‘a mystery’ as Apostle Paul wrote:
“Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we
shall all be changed,
In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for
the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we
shall be changed.”
1 Cor. 15:51-52 KJV
“The First
Resurrection” will take place in a time of global crisis. It will happen in
“a moment”— “in the twinkling of an eye,” at “the last trumpet.” The Spirit of GOD will raise those who fell
asleep in The LORD; they shall come forth with incorruptible bodies—as they are already glorified heirs of Salvation.
And, He shall quicken the mortal bodies of the saints
who are physically alive, so that they too will be “changed” and put on celestial bodies.
For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal
must put on immortality (1 Cor. 15:53 KJV).
All who take part in “The First Resurrection” become
victorious over death.
They become victorious over natural death.
“I am The Resurrection, and The Life: he that believeth in Me,
though he were dead, yet shall he live:
And whosoever liveth and believeth in Me shall never die…” (John 11:25-26 KJV)
Presently, physical death is ‘the last enemy to be
destroyed.’
But, on account of them, ‘death will be swallowed up in victory.’
So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this
mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying
that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.
O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?
1 Cor. 15:54-55 KJV
Isaiah 25:7 describes death as “a veil that spreads over nations”—a “covering cast over people”.
But, to all who are part of “The First
Resurrection”, it shall be swallowed up forever! (See verse 8).
The saints also, shall not be hurt by “the second
death”—they shall be victorious over it.
Blessed and holy is he that hath part in The First Resurrection:
on such the second death hath no power…” (Rev 20:6a KJV).
First Thessalonians 5:2 makes reference to “The First Resurrection” while it states:
“For yourselves know perfectly that the Day of The Lord so cometh
as a thief in the night” (KJV).
In verse 4, it uses the phrase: “that Day” still referring to “The
First Resurrection.”
The glorious appearing of “The Son of Man” in His ‘Day’ will be as ‘the lightning that comes from the east, and flashes to the west.’
“For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto
the west; so shall also the Coming of The Son of Man be” (Matt. 24:27 KJV).
This is “the
sign of The Son of Man” when He is revealed from Heaven with His mighty
angels, in bringing many sons to glory.
The Seventh Seal
And when He had opened the seventh seal, there was silence in Heaven
about the space of half an hour.
Revelation 8:1 KJV
“I believe “The
First Resurrection” will occur in the opening of “The Seventh Seal.”
No man knows what this “silence in Heaven” signifies, because GOD did not choose to reveal
that to us, yet.
Imagine the reverent awe in Heaven when all the host
of Heaven is silent.
“The four living creatures” in the midst of the Throne
and round about the Throne—who spoke with voices like thunder in the commencing
Seals opened (the first four Seals), the cherubim of glory, the seraphim, the
Arch-Angels— all in The Throne Room of Heaven. All of ‘the war
angels,’ and ‘the messenger angels,’ altogether silent in Heaven “about the space of half an hour!”
“The 24 elders” before Him Who sits on the Throne, all
of the holy apostles, prophets, and saints in Heaven—silent “about the space of half an hour!”
All animals and plants of “The New Creation” in
Heaven—even “The River of Life” which flows from the Throne of God and of The
Lamb, the living fountains, and seas of GOD’s celestial Kingdom, silent “about the space of half an hour!”
This “Seventh Seal” is definitely, greatly significant
in GOD’s divine program.
“Half an hour”
represents a very short time—‘a moment.’
What Apostle Paul called “a mystery” in First Corinthians 15 will be for ‘a moment.’ It will
happen “in the twinkling of an eye”—that
is “The First Resurrection.”
“Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we
shall all be changed,
In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for
the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we
shall be changed”
1 Cor. 15:51-52 KJV
THE LORD Himself will descend from “The Heaven of
Heavens” [the Third Heaven] – “then shall
appear the sign of The Son of Man in heaven” [the first heaven] (Matt.
24:30), and will shout with “the Voice of
the Archangel,” and with “the Trump
of God.”
“… He shall send
His angels with a great sound of a trumpet” (Matt. 24:31).
For The Lord Himself shall descend from Heaven with a shout, with
the Voice of the archangel, and with the Trump of God: and the dead in Christ
shall rise first…
1 Thess. 4:16 KJV
At the last sound of “the trumpet”—“The First
Resurrection” takes place.
At ‘the Resurrection,’ ‘the martyrs of Jesus’ who were slain in ‘the days of tribulation
and martyrdom’ will be raised to life (read Revelation 20:4).
In Matthew chapter 24, in The Lord’s discourse with
His disciples. He gave us a clear description of how the event of “The First
Resurrection” will take place.
Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be
darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from
heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:
And then shall appear the sign of The Son of Man in heaven: and then
shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see The Son of Man
coming in the clouds of Heaven with power and great glory.
And He shall send His angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and
they shall gather together His elect from the four winds, from one end of
heaven to the other.
Matt. 24:29-31 KJV
So, The Lord has clearly made it known to us that,
this glorious event will happen after “The
Great Tribulation.”
When “the sign
of The Son of Man” appears in heaven, all the tribes of the earth will
mourn, and they shall see The Son of Man
coming in the clouds of Heaven with power and great glory—this is the manner in
which Christ will be revealed in the clouds (ref. Mt. 24:30).
Then, the kings of the earth, great men, the noble and
rich, mighty men, and the ungodly, shall hide themselves in the dens and in the
rocks of the mountains; saying to the mountains and rocks, “fall on us, and hide us from the face of Him
that sits on the Throne, and from the Wrath of The Lamb” (ref. Rev. 6:15-16).
“The sign of The
Son of Man” will signal “The First Resurrection.”
The Lord Jesus in the last verse of Matthew 24
concludes His discourse to His disciples by telling them of the gathering
together of GOD's elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the
other—which is "The First Resurrection."
“And He shall send His angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and
they shall gather together His elect from the four winds, from one end of
heaven to the other” (Mt. 24:31 KJV)
But, "The Sixth
Seal" in Revelation 6 which He revealed to John, announces 'The Great Day of His Wrath' which is to
come.
“And
so, I believe that ‘The First Resurrection’ will take place before ‘the Fall of
Babylon’ begins.”
“The Resurrection” will give way for “The Great Day of God’s Wrath” to come
upon the earth.
“The Great Day of
God’s Wrath” will extend-till “the
Battle of The Great Day of God Almighty” begins at the time of “The Second Coming of Christ.”
In the revelation of the opening of “The Seventh Seal” which Apostle John
saw, what follows the “silence in Heaven”
are:
seven
angels with seven trumpets, another angel with a golden censer at the altar,
offering of incense with the prayers of all saints upon the golden altar before
The Throne of God, fire, voices,
thunderings, lightnings, and an earthquake.
And I saw the seven angels which stood before God; and to them
were given seven trumpets.
And another angel came and stood at the altar, having a golden
censer; and there was given unto him much incense, that he should offer it with
the prayers of all saints upon the golden altar which was before the throne.
And the smoke of the incense, which came with the prayers of the
saints, ascended up before God out of the angel's hand.
And the angel took the censer, and filled it with fire of the
altar, and cast it into the earth: and there were voices, and thunderings, and
lightnings, and an earthquake.
Rev 8:2-5 KJV
Verse 6 says:
And the seven angels which had the seven trumpets prepared
themselves to sound (KJV)
Apparently at this moment, “The Great Day of God’s Wrath” is about to begin!
