The Lord by His Spirit has told me that the sixth seal is about to be opened! In fact, I feel strongly this opening and sealing may begin in 1994. But if not in '94, I know it is nonetheless very near. We have no idea how long He will take, perhaps a few years. But this is a thus sayeth the Lord: "The sixth seal is about to be opened." PLEASE RECEIVE THIS! Why? Because only those who have made themselves ready BEFORE the seal is opened will be marked with the mark of God and sealed from the wrath of the Lamb!
[As a point of reference, we need to remember that God's calendar year beings at Passover (Exodus 12:2), which for 1994 was about the first of April.]
My friend, while those who are sealed will escape the wrath of the Lamb, they will still be subject to the trials of the world and the persecution of the ungodly and wicked. This is not an article about easy times ahead! Let us not forget that the sealed bride will be here through the sixth seal and the first six trumpets of the seventh seal!
"Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you: But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ's sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy. If ye be reproached for the name of Christ, happy are ye; for the spirit of glory and of God resteth upon you: on their part he is evil spoken of, but on your part he is glorified. But let none of you suffer as a murderer, or as a thief, or as an evildoer, or as a busybody in other men's matters. Yet if any man suffer as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God on this behalf. For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God? And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear? Wherefore let them that suffer according to the will of God commit the keeping of their souls to him in well doing, as unto a faithful Creator" (I Pet. 4:12-19).
This entire passage is an end time passage. It is for those who will be alive at the time of God's judging and purging of His house! It is for us, NOW.
I truly hope this article is ministering to you. I pray you will be stirred to the action of personal repentance where needed. Come apart from those who worship in pretense and form, not in spirit and truth. See denominationalism for what it is the idol of man trying to control God's work and people and come apart from it. Purge your mind of paganized christianism in order to fully walk this earth as a citizen of heaven and ambassador of Christ. Sigh and cry for all the abominations that are done in the midst of Christ's Church.
Yes, if we want to be marked in our foreheads, we must first have the mark of God in our hearts. Those who have this mark are those who understand, delight in, and do God's spiritual statutes and judgments. They are grieved at all that is contrary to God's statutes and judgments be it found in their personal lives, their church, or the world they live in.
Look ever so closely at Ezekiel 9:4: "And the Lord said unto him, Go through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem, and set a mark upon the foreheads of the men that sigh and cry for all the abominations that be done in the midst thereof."
It can be no one who does not first know what these abominations are! And we can not know the abominations until we first know God's heart. We know God's heart by what He tells us through His statutes and judgments (His scriptures), and His Spirit.
Many idols have been brought into God's house and are being adored and served by His bride. He is a jealous God and will not tolerate this whoredom. Now is the time for the true bride to purge herself of these spots, to make herself ready for the wedding. The groom is at the door. Will you be ready?
