Bible Prophecy
Bible Prophecy from Genesis
The are hidden messages of prophecy throughout the Bible.
A remarkable example of this can be glimpsed in Genesis Chapter 5, where we have the genealogy of Adam through Noah. This is one of those chapters which we often tend to skim over quickly as we pass through Genesis it’s simply a genealogy from Adam to Noah. Piecing it together, we get a string of words put into a sentence like look like this:
Man (is) appointed mortal sorrow; (but) the Blessed God shall come down teaching (that) His death shall bring (the) despairing rest.

Bible Prophecy from Book of Enoch
Book of Enoch is not included in the Bible compiled by the so-called Roman Catholics during Emperor Constantine. The Roman Catholics are allowed by God to be the Anti Christ here on Earth. The imperfect concealing work of Anti Christ to de-rail us left us clues when one of the 66 books of the Bible (Jude) refers to Book of Enoch. The Book of Enoch gave us 10 weeks of Prophesy.
Book of Enoch Chapter 92
1. After this, Enoch began to speak from a book.
2. And Enoch said, Concerning the children of righteousness, concerning the elect of the world,
and concerning the plant of righteousness and integrity.
3. Concerning these things will I speak, and these things will I explain to you, my children: I who am Enoch. In consequence of that which has been shown to me, from my heavenly vision and from the voice of the holy angels have I acquired knowledge; and from the tablet of heaven have I acquired understanding.
4. Enoch then began to speak from a book, and said, I have been born the seventh in the first week, while judgment and righteousness wait with patience.
5. But after me, in the second week, great wickedness shall arise, and fraud shall spring forth.
6. In that week the end of the first shall take place, in which mankind shall be safe.
7. But when the first is completed, iniquity shall grow up; and he shall execute the decree upon sinners.
8. Afterwards, in the third week, during its completion, a man of the plant of righteous judgment shall be selected; and after him the plant of righteousness shall come for ever.
9. Subsequently, in the fourth week, during its completion, the visions of the holy and the righteous shall be seen, the order of generation after generation shall take place, and an habitation shall be made for them. Then in the fifth week, during its completion, the house of glory and of dominion shall be erected for ever.
10. After that, in the sixth week, all those who are in it shall be darkened, the hearts of all of them shall be forgetful of wisdom, and in it shall a man ascend.
11. And during its completion he shall burn the house of dominion with fire, and all the race of the elect root shall be dispersed.
12. Afterwards, in the seventh week, a perverse generation shall arise; abundant shall be its deeds, and all its deeds perverse. During its completion, the righteous shall be selected from the everlasting plant of righteousness; and to them shall be given the sevenfold doctrine of his whole creation.
13. Afterwards there shall be another week, the eighth of righteousness, to which shall be given a sword to execute judgment and justice upon all oppressors.
14. Sinners shall be delivered up into the hands of the righteous, who during its completion shall acquire habitations by their righteousness; and the house of the great King shall be established for celebrations for ever. After, this, in the ninth week, shall the judgment of righteousness be revealed to the whole world.
15. Every work of the ungodly shall disappear from the whole earth; the world shall be marked for destruction; and all men shall be on the look out for the path of integrity.
16. And after this, on the seventh day of the tenth week, there shall be an everlasting judgment, which shall be executed upon the Watchers; and a spacious eternal heaven shall spring forth in the midst of the angels.
17. The former heaven shall depart and pass away; a new heaven shall appear; and all the celestial powers shine with sevenfold splendour for ever. Afterwards likewise shall there be many weeks, which shall externally exist in goodness and in righteousness.
18. Neither shall sin be named there for ever and for ever.
19. Who is there of all the children of men, capable of hearing the voice of the Holy One without emotion?
20. Who is there capable of thinking his thoughts? Who capable of contemplating all the workmanship of heaven? Who of comprehending the deeds of heaven?
21. He may behold its animation, but not its spirit. He may be capable of conversing respecting it, but not of ascending to it. He may see all the boundaries of these things, and meditate upon them; but he can make nothing like them.
22. Who of all men is able to understand the breadth and length of the earth?
23. By whom have been seen the dimensions of all these things? Is it every man who is capable of comprehending the extent of heaven; what its elevation is, and by what it is supported?
24. How many are the numbers of the stars; and where all the luminaries remain at rest?

Bible Prophecy from The camp of Israelites
Bible Prophecy from Book of Daniel
Bible Prophecy from Adam to Jesus (5500 years)
The timeline of Adam to Jesus Christ has always been a controversy because The Bible or Torah from Roman Empire has been modified to discredit Jesus Christ by the original Pharisee/Sadducee Jews. God knew what the Sadducees and Pharisees would do to discredit His Son Jesus Christ just to retain their power over the people. We have the following lost book and unmodified Torah found in Egypt around 285 BC that proved that.
Books that stated Adam to Jesus Christ salvation work will be 5500 years:
- Septuagint Scripture 285 BC
- Book of Enoch
- Gospel of Nicodemus
The only source that said otherwise (about 4074 years from Adam to Jesus) came from modified sources from Roman Empire after the death of Jesus. These sources could only be traced into one main source which was from Sadducees or Pharisees influencing the pagan Romans who knew very little about Torah. So, it would be very easy to adjust the timeline to look like The Anointed One or Messiah should come later than Jesus Christ, which led many to believe that Jesus was not the Messiah. From the adjusted copy, massive original copies were destroyed or burnt during the fragile period of Roman Empire in desperation to stabilize their empire before 300 AD.
Constantine was the first Roman emperor to convert to Christianity and he played an influential role in the proclamation of the Edict of Milan in 313 AD, which declared religious tolerance for Christianity in the Roman empire. He called the First Council of Nicaea in 325 AD, at which the Nicene Creed was adopted by Christians. The selection of books from the scriptures seemed to be the major topic. It looks like the need of the meeting could spring from the root cause of many modified versions and copies circulated after the death of Christ till 300 AD to discredit Jesus by the Sadducees or Pharisees. So, it seemed the lies on top of lies somehow clearly showed Sadducees or Pharisees lost tracked of which lie they really want to preserve.
If we were to have only one original unmodified one, then the Romans will probably have no disagreements or conflicts. Since conflicts did occur, Constantine tried to manage the conflicts or disagreements. From then on, the Roman Empire spread their compilation of books call The Bible and also Torah worldwide today.
When the Ashkenazi tribes under King Bulan adopted the teachings of Israelites around 700AD , they had no idea that the Torah was already modified in Genesis Chapter 5. So, these convert created a religion called Judaism, called themselves Askhenazi Jews and continue to reject Jesus/Yeshua as the Annointed One. Remember Noah had 3 sons: Japheth, Ham and Shem. So, the Askhenazi group of people came from the line of Japheth and not Shem. Remember, Judaism came from last tribe Judah preserved by God to bring our Messiah and the word Jew came from Judah. So, we see all these confusion created throughout our human history.
God clearly left us evidence of the unmodified content of timeline via Alexandria in Egypt. The lost books and The Septuagint scripture all pointed to 5500 years from Adam to Jesus. Please note that Septuagint Bible (known as LXX) is originally in Koine Greek language catering for Israelite Jews in that area. See Genesis Chapter 5 on the adjustments probably by Israelite Jews who wanted to discredit Jesus Christ as The Annointed one.

Septuagint
1This [is] the genealogy of men in the day in which God made Adam; in the image of God he made him: 2male and female he made them, and blessed them; and he called his name Adam, in the day in which he made them. 3And Adam lived two hundred and thirty years, and begot [a son] after his [own] form, and after his [own] image, and he called his name Seth. 4And the days of Adam, which he lived after his begetting Seth, were seven hundred years; and he begot sons and daughters. 5And all the days of Adam which he lived were nine hundred and thirty years, and he died. 6Now Seth lived two hundred and five years, and begot Enos. 7And Seth lived after his begetting Enos, seven hundred and seven years, and he begot sons and daughters. 8And all the days of Seth were nine hundred and twelve years, and he died. 9And Enos lived an hundred and ninety years, and begot Cainan. 10And Enos lived after his begetting Cainan, seven hundred and fifteen years, and he begot sons and daughters. 11And all the days of Enos were nine hundred and five years, and he died. 12And Cainan lived an hundred and seventy years, and he begot Maleleel. 13And Cainan lived after his begetting Maleleel, seven hundred and forty years, and he begot sons and daughters. 14And all the days of Cainan were nine hundred and ten years, and he died. 15And Maleleel lived an hundred and sixty and five years, and he begot Jared. 16And Maleleel lived after his begetting Jared, seven hundred and thirty years, and he begot sons and daughters. 17And all the days of Maleleel were eight hundred and ninety and five years, and he died. 18And Jared lived an hundred and sixty and two years, and begot Enoch: 19and Jared lived after his begetting Enoch, eight hundred years, and he begot sons and daughters. 20And all the days of Jared were nine hundred and sixty and two years, and he died. 21And Enoch lived an hundred and sixty and five years, and begat Mathusala. 22And Enoch was well-pleasing to God after his begetting Mathusala, two hundred years, and he begot sons and daughters. 23And all the days of Enoch were three hundred and sixty and five years. 24And Enoch was well-pleasing to God, and was not found, because God translated him. 25And Mathusala lived an hundred and sixty and seven years, and begot Lamech. 26And Mathusala lived after his begetting Lamech eight hundred and two years, and begot sons and daughters. 27And all the days of Mathusala which he lived, were nine hundred and sixty and nine years, and he died. 28And Lamech lived an hundred and eighty and eight years, and begot a son. 29And he called his name Noe, saying, This one will cause us to cease from our works, and from the toils of our hands, and from the earth, which the Lord God has cursed. 30And Lamech lived after his begetting Noe, five hundred and sixty and five years, and begot sons and daughters. 31And all the days of Lamech were seven hundred and fifty-three years, and he died. 32And Noe was five hundred years old, and he begot three sons, Sem, Cham, and Japheth. |

The attached here is a Septuagint scripture with only the Old Testament portion. The Septuagint scripture was found to be around 285 BC. As we know from secular history, Alexander the Great conquered Egypt. After him, Ptolemaic Kingdom took over and continued his legacy of building up Alexandria and its library. Alexandria was the intellectual and cultural center of the ancient world for some time. The city and its museum attracted many of the greatest scholars, including Greeks, Jews and Syrians. The city was later plundered and lost its significance.

The calculation below is done by Steve Rudd in Nov 2017. He came to 5554 BC which we would interpret it as year of the Fall of Adam. Adam was created way before and spent 1000 years with God as Sabbath Day.
If Adam to death of Jesus is 5587 years (5554+33), then Adam to birth of Jesus would be about 5554 years. If the Star of Bethlehem showed up in 2017, then the actual years from Fall of Adam till now would be 7554 years in 2017 Roman Calendar vs 5777 Jewish Year tabulated by Ashkenazi Jew from Japheth line.

7 Major Biblical Feasts observed in the Old Testament are also phrophecies in themselves.
Jesus has fullfilled the Passover, Unleavened Bread and First Fruits while the Holy Spirit came during Pentecost.

Now, we are already in the Feast of Trumpet prophecy where many challenges are released into earth creating challenges for people to look to God or for God. It is a call for Repentance as a mercy call.
The believers who practice unrighteousness are lawless in the eyes of God and truth is not in them. They will also be rejected as Jesus will not know them.
We have already arrived at the Feast of Trumpets when Revelation Chapter 12 sign which is also called the Star of Bethlehem appear for 2 years in our sky. The Star of Bethlehem has triggered the Feast of Trumpets which Jesus will fulfill. Feast of Trumpets is a call for Repentance.
The First Trumpet is already blown on 01 october 2016 and God really some sense of humor with Trump getting his first term of presidency in USA making such news and noise worldwide. The first Trumpet really has Climate Change resulting is about 33% drop in crop harvests around the world.

Bible Prophecy from Revelation 12 (Heavenly Sign 2015-2017)
Revelation 12 is stating what we should expect literally. Revelation 12:1-7 (KJV) states
1 And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars:
2 And she being with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered.

7 And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels,
Many of us are interested to know when the rapture of the Born Agains should be, timing of the tribulation, Millennium and so on.

3 Then shall we know, if we follow on to know the Lord: his going forth is prepared as the morning; and he shall come unto us as the rain, as the latter and former rain unto the earth.

If you do not know Christ, it is time to realize Jesus Christ is the only way to be saved from this terrible upcoming events after the rapture. God will get rid of sinners who are not cleansed by Jesus Christ´s Blood which is the only way.
Those who are Born Again will be protected just like the days of Noah.
Those who are Born Again will be protected just like the days of Noah.
Bible Prophecy from Feast of Trumpet
The video below (about 6 mins) is interesting because it coincide with the Feast of Trumpets on 01 Oct 2016. The formation in the sky looks like the angels are in formation anticipating or celebrating. This happens after the Star of Bethlehem appeared marking about 2000 years after the birth of Jesus Christ. Could this be something of conception of babies as to lead the tribulation?
The Star of Bethlehem (23 Sep 2015 - 23 Sep2017) has triggered the Feast of Trumpets which Jesus will fulfill and come back for His bride. Feast of Trumpets is a call for Repentance. Remember the last Star of Bethlehem was 7 BC in constellation of Pieces (Fishing men) while this time in constellation of Virgo the Virgin (Jesus coming back for His Bride).
The First Trumpet is already blown on 01 october 2016 (Fall 2016) and God really has great sense of humor with Trump getting his first term of presidency in USA making much news and noise worldwide. The first Trumpet really has Climate Change resulting is about 33% drop in crop harvests around the world. Fall of 2019, pandemic was triggered in China leading to worldwide chaos in 2020 with Covid 19.
The Second Trumpet was probably blown in Fall of 2024 when Trump got his second term in his presidency in USA as an indication. Again, major news and noise worldwide with Trump. We will be expecting Volcanic Eruption and Earthquake of biblical proportion. This Trumpet may cause our current financial system to breakdown leading to a new one world payment system.

Revelation 8:6-13
The Trumpets
6 Then the seven angels who had the seven trumpets prepared to sound them.
7 The first angel sounded his trumpet, and there came hail and fire mixed with blood, and it was hurled down on the earth. A third of the earth was burned up, a third of the trees were burned up, and all the green grass was burned up.
8 The second angel sounded his trumpet, and something like a huge mountain, all ablaze, was thrown into the sea. A third of the sea turned into blood, 9 a third of the living creatures in the sea died, and a third of the ships were destroyed.
10 The third angel sounded his trumpet, and a great star, blazing like a torch, fell from the sky on a third of the rivers and on the springs of water-- 11 the name of the star is Wormwood.[a] A third of the waters turned bitter, and many people died from the waters that had become bitter.
12 The fourth angel sounded his trumpet, and a third of the sun was struck, a third of the moon, and a third of the stars, so that a third of them turned dark. A third of the day was without light, and also a third of the night.
13 As I watched, I heard an eagle that was flying in midair call out in a loud voice: “Woe! Woe! Woe to the inhabitants of the earth, because of the trumpet blasts about to be sounded by the other three angels!”
Revelation 9:1-20
9 The fifth angel sounded his trumpet, and I saw a star that had fallen from the sky to the earth. The star was given the key to the shaft of the Abyss. 2 When he opened the Abyss, smoke rose from it like the smoke from a gigantic furnace. The sun and sky were darkened by the smoke from the Abyss. 3 And out of the smoke locusts came down on the earth and were given power like that of scorpions of the earth. 4 They were told not to harm the grass of the earth or any plant or tree, but only those people who did not have the seal of God on their foreheads. 5 They were not allowed to kill them but only to torture them for five months. And the agony they suffered was like that of the sting of a scorpion when it strikes. 6 During those days people will seek death but will not find it; they will long to die, but death will elude them.
7 The locusts looked like horses prepared for battle. On their heads they wore something like crowns of gold, and their faces resembled human faces. 8 Their hair was like women’s hair, and their teeth were like lions’ teeth. 9 They had breastplates like breastplates of iron, and the sound of their wings was like the thundering of many horses and chariots rushing into battle. 10 They had tails with stingers, like scorpions, and in their tails they had power to torment people for five months. 11 They had as king over them the angel of the Abyss, whose name in Hebrew is Abaddon and in Greek is Apollyon (that is, Destroyer).
12 The first woe is past; two other woes are yet to come.
13 The sixth angel sounded his trumpet, and I heard a voice coming from the four horns of the golden altar that is before God. 14 It said to the sixth angel who had the trumpet, “Release the four angels who are bound at the great river Euphrates.” 15 And the four angels who had been kept ready for this very hour and day and month and year were released to kill a third of mankind. 16 The number of the mounted troops was twice ten thousand times ten thousand. I heard their number.
17 The horses and riders I saw in my vision looked like this: Their breastplates were fiery red, dark blue, and yellow as sulfur. The heads of the horses resembled the heads of lions, and out of their mouths came fire, smoke and sulfur. 18 A third of mankind was killed by the three plagues of fire, smoke and sulfur that came out of their mouths. 19 The power of the horses was in their mouths and in their tails; for their tails were like snakes, having heads with which they inflict injury.
20 The rest of mankind who were not killed by these plagues still did not repent of the work of their hands; they did not stop worshiping demons, and idols of gold, silver, bronze, stone and wood—idols that cannot see or hear or walk. 21 Nor did they repent of their murders, their magic arts, their sexual immorality or their thefts.

Prophecy from George Washington (30 Apr 1789 - 4 Mar 1797)
George Washington – His Vision of the American Republic’s Destiny (in his own words)
This afternoon, as I was sitting at this table engaged in preparing a dispatch, something seemed to disturb me. Looking up, I beheld standing opposite me a singularly beautiful female. So astonished was I, for I had given strict orders not to be disturbed, that it was some moments before I found language to inquire the cause of her presence. A second, a third and even a fourth time did I repeat my question, but received no answer from my mysterious visitor except a slight raising of her eyes.
By this time I felt strange sensations spreading through me. I would have risen but the riveted gaze of the being before me rendered volition impossible. I assayed once more to address her, but my tongue had become useless, as though it had become paralyzed.
A new influence, mysterious, potent, irresistible, took possession of me. All I could do was to gaze steadily, vacantly at my unknown visitor. Gradually the surrounding atmosphere seemed as if it had become filled with sensations, and luminous. Everything about me seemed to rarefy, the mysterious visitor herself becoming more airy and yet more distinct to my sight than before. I now began to feel as one dying, or rather to experience the sensations which I have sometimes imagined accompany dissolution. I did not think, I did not reason, I did not move; all were alike impossible. I was only conscious of gazing fixedly, vacantly at my companion.

I now began to feel as one dying, or rather to experience the sensations which I have sometimes imagined accompany dissolution. I did not think, I did not reason, I did not move; all were alike impossible. I was only conscious of gazing fixedly, vacantly at my companion.
"Presently I heard a voice saying, `Son of the Republic, look and learn,' while at the same time my visitor extended her arm eastwardly, I now beheld a heavy white vapor at some distance rising fold upon fold. This gradually dissipated, and I looked upon a stranger scene. Before me lay spread out in one vast plain all the countries of the world - Europe, Asia, Africa and America. I saw rolling and tossing between Europe and America the billows of the Atlantic, and between Asia and America lay the Pacific.
"`Son of the Republic,' said the same mysterious voice as before, `look and learn.' At that moment I beheld a dark, shadowy being, like an angel, standing or rather floating in mid-air, between Europe and America. Dipping water out of the ocean in the hollow of each hand, he sprinkled some upon America with his right hand, while with his left hand he cast some on Europe. Immediately a cloud raised from these countries, and joined in mid-ocean. For a while it remained stationary, and then moved slowly westward, until it enveloped America in its murky folds. Sharp flashes of lightning gleamed through it at intervals, and I heard the smothered groans and cries of the American people.
"A second time the angel dipped water from the ocean, and sprinkled it out as before. The dark cloud was then drawn back to the ocean, in whose heaving billows in sank from view. A third time I heard the mysterious voice saying, `Son of the Republic, look and learn,' I cast my eyes upon America and beheld villages and towns and cities springing up one after another until the whole land from the Atlantic to the Pacific was dotted with them.
"Again, I heard the mysterious voice say, `Son of the Republic, the end of the century cometh, look and learn.' At this the dark shadowy angel turned his face southward, and from Africa I saw an ill omened specter approach our land. It flitted slowly over every town and city of the latter. The inhabitants presently set themselves in battle array against each other. As I continued looking I saw a bright angel, on whose brow rested a crown of light, on which was traced the word `Union,' bearing the American flag which he placed between the divided nation, and said, `Remember ye are brethren.' Instantly, the inhabitants, casting from them their weapons became friends once more, and united around the National Standard.
"And again I heard the mysterious voice saying `Son of the Republic, look and learn.' At this the dark, shadowy angel placed a trumpet to his mouth, and blew three distinct blasts; and taking water from the ocean, he sprinkled it upon Europe, Asia and Africa. Then my eyes beheld a fearful scene: From each of these countries arose thick, black clouds that were soon joined into one. Throughout this mass there gleamed a dark red light by which I saw hordes of armed men, who, moving with the cloud, marched by land and sailed by sea to America. Our country was enveloped in this volume of cloud, and I saw these vast armies devastate the whole county and burn the villages, towns and cities that I beheld springing up. As my ears listened to the thundering of the cannon, clashing of sword, and the shouts and cries of millions in mortal combat, I heard again the mysterious voice saying, `Son of the Republic, look and learn.' When the voice had ceased, the dark shadowy angel placed his trumpet once more to his mouth, and blew a long and fearful blast.
"Instantly a light as of a thousand suns shone down from above me, and pierced and broke into fragments the dark cloud which enveloped America. At the same moment the angel upon whose head still shone the word Union, and who bore our national flag in one hand and a sword in the other, descended from the heavens attended by legions of white spirits. These immediately joined the inhabitants of America, who I perceived were will nigh overcome, but who immediately taking courage again, closed up their broken ranks and renewed the battle.
"Again, amid the fearful noise of the conflict, I heard the mysterious voice saying, `Son of the Republic, look and learn.' As the voice ceased, the shadowy angel for the last time dipped water from the ocean and sprinkled it upon America. Instantly the dark cloud rolled back, together with the armies it had brought, leaving the inhabitants of the land victorious!
"Then once more I beheld the villages, towns and cities springing up where I had seen them before, while the bright angel, planting the azure standard he had brought in the midst of them, cried with a loud voice: `While the stars remain, and the heavens send down dew upon the earth, so long shall the Union last.' And taking from his brow the crown on which blazoned the word `Union,' he placed it upon the Standard while the people, kneeling down, said, `Amen.'
"The scene instantly began to fade and dissolve, and I at last saw nothing but the rising, curling vapor I at first beheld. This also disappearing, I found myself once more gazing upon the mysterious visitor, who, in the same voice I had heard before, said, `Son of the Republic, what you have seen is thus interpreted: Three great perils will come upon the Republic. The most fearful is the third, but in this greatest conflict the whole world united shall not prevail against her. Let every child of the Republic learn to live for his God, his land and the Union'. With these words the vision vanished, and I started from my seat and felt that I had seen a vision wherein had been shown to me the birth, progress, and destiny of the United States.
This ended General George Washington's vision and prophecy for the United States of America as told in his words.

This ended General George Washington's vision and prophecy for the United States of America as told in his words.
In the National Tribune, 1880, an article appeared giving an account of the "Vision of Washington" at Valley Forge. The account was told by a gentleman named Anthony Sherman, who supposedly was at Valley Forge during the winter of 1777-78. The story has been published several times.
Some people will say that it is substantiated by the fact that a copy of the account is in the Library of Congress. This argument of authenticity is misleading in and of itself. The Library of Congress has copies of anything published. That does not indicate accuracy of the content.
I am unaware of any eighteenth-century evidence that corroborates this story. The soldier mentioned as having a first-hand account of the "Vision," Anthony Sherman, was a soldier in the Continental Army. However, according to his pension application, written by him, he states that he was at Saratoga under the command of Benedict Arnold at the end of 1777 and only joined the main forces in 1778 in New Jersey just before the Battle of Monmouth.
Anthony Sherman wrote:
You doubtless heard the story of Washington's going to the thicket to pray in secret for aid and comfort from God, the interposition of whose Divine Providence brought us safely through the darkest days of tribulation. One day, I remember it well, when the chilly winds whistled through the leafless trees, though the sky was cloudless and the sun shown brightly, he remained in his quarters nearly all the afternoon alone. When he came out, I noticed that his face was a shade paler than usual. There seemed to be something on his mind of more than ordinary importance. Returning just after dusk, he dispatched an orderly to the quarters who was presently in attendance. After a preliminary conversation of about an hour, Washington, gazing upon his companion with that strange look of dignity which he alone commanded, related the event that occurred that day.

Prophecy from Prophet Bob Jones (04 Feb 1930 - 14 Feb 2014)

TRANSCRIPT
Years ago, The Lord gave me a 100-year prophecy.
|
I saw up to the 2060’s. and the church here was not beat down. It was walking in the Glory of God. It had the Power of God on it. It had the power over death. It had the power over the weather. It had the power over everything. And we are in a time of growing when—I don’t know what season it comes in there but there will come a season in there, I believe those last 30 years--death will have no power over those that are the Sons of God. There is a generation that will not know death and I believe these youths are getting ready. And these youths that are being prepared now and those that as yet are not saved, they will not be afraid of death because they will go everywhere in the world and take it. You won’t be able to stop them. And we know that in the last days, for some of these, that if you take their lives, they have the power to raise it up again. I was seeing that kind of resurrection power in the church in the last days. I don’t know when it will begin but I rather felt that it will begin in this 2030’s.

Prophecy our generation
My name is Payton Sullivan, and what I'm about to share with you changed my life forever. I never thought I'd be one of those people who had a near-death experience, let alone one that would reveal the most crucial information about the end times. But God had other plans for me. That ordinary Tuesday night in October, I was sitting in my favorite spot on the couch, wrapped in my grandmother's old quilt, watching my usual crime drama series. It was around 9:30 p.m., and I remember thinking how peaceful everything felt. The house was quiet except for the TV, and my cat Milo was curled up beside me. I'd just finished a long day at the dental office where I work as a hygienist, and this was my way of unwinding. That's when it happened.
At first, I felt an unusual tightness in my chest. I thought maybe it was just anxiety—I'd been under a lot of stress lately with work and family obligations. But within seconds, the pain became intense, like nothing I'd ever experienced before. The remote control slipped from my hand, clattering to the floor. I tried to stand up, but my legs wouldn't cooperate. The last thing I remember was Milo jumping off the couch and the room starting to spin. The doctors later told me I was clinically dead for 13 minutes and 42 seconds. But what I experienced in those minutes felt like an eternity. And what I saw—what I was shown—I know I have to share it with the world. The moment I left my body, everything changed. It wasn't like drifting off to sleep or passing out. It was instant, like switching channels on a TV. One moment I was in my living room, and the next, I was somewhere else entirely.
But before I tell you about what I saw regarding the 30 days before Christ's return, I need to describe the beginning of this experience because every detail matters. The first thing I noticed was the absence of pain. All the physical discomfort that had overwhelmed me seconds before was gone. I found myself in what I can only describe as a space between spaces. It wasn't dark, but it wasn't exactly light either. It was like being suspended in a dimension where earthly concepts of light and dark didn't quite apply. The air—if you could call it that—felt thick with presence, like being immersed in pure consciousness. That's when I heard my name being called. The voice was unlike anything I'd ever heard before. It carried authority but was also filled with such profound love that I felt it resonating through every part of my being. I turned around, and there He was.
I knew instantly it was Jesus, though He looked nothing like the paintings or images we see in churches. His presence was overwhelming, yet I felt completely at peace. His eyes held the weight of eternity but also an infinite tenderness that made me feel completely known and completely loved.
"Payton," He said again, and His voice seemed to exist both inside and outside of me simultaneously. "I have brought you here because time is short, and My people need to know what is coming."
Before I could respond, the space around us transformed. We were suddenly standing in what appeared to be a vast observation room with what looked like countless screens or windows showing different parts of Earth. But these weren't normal views—they showed not just what was happening but also what was about to happen.
"Watch carefully," Jesus said, "for I will show you the sequence of events that will unfold in the 30 days before My return."
What He showed me next was both awe-inspiring and terrifying—filled with hope but also grave warnings. I'll share it exactly as it was revealed to me, and I pray you'll understand why this message is so crucial for our time.
The first vision He showed me was of the sun—but it wasn't our normal sun. It was pulsing with an unusual energy I'd never seen before.
"In the 30th day before My return," Jesus explained, "the sun will begin to emit signals that your scientists cannot explain. These will not be normal solar flares or coronal mass ejections. They will be signs that even the most skeptical minds cannot rationalize away." I watched as these solar phenomena created spectacular auroras, visible even at the equator. The skies would be filled with colors that human eyes had never seen before. But this wasn't just a light show—it was a herald, a cosmic announcement that something unprecedented was about to occur. "Many will try to explain these signs through scientific means," Jesus continued, "but in their hearts, they will know that something far more significant is happening. This will be the first warning, calling humanity to attention."
The scene shifted, and I saw massive crowds gathering in cities worldwide. People were looking up at the sky, their faces illuminated by the extraordinary celestial display. Some were afraid; others were in awe. But everyone knew that something momentous was occurring. Then Jesus showed me what would happen on the 25th day before His return. I saw something that made my spirit tremble—a great awakening in the spiritual realm. It was as if a veil was being slowly lifted from people's eyes. Those who had been spiritually blind began to see things they'd never noticed before. "In these days," Jesus explained, "many who have resisted My call will begin to see truth with new eyes. The spiritual realm will become more visible to the physical realm—not through mystical experiences or New Age practices, but through a divine lifting of the spiritual veil. My people will begin to understand prayer and spiritual warfare in ways they never have before." I saw people falling to their knees in spontaneous prayer. I saw hardened atheists encountering undeniable evidence of God's reality. But what struck me most was how this awakening affected different people in different ways. Some embraced it with joy and repentance, while others became even more hardened against the truth.
The vision continued to unfold as Jesus showed me the 20th day before His return. This was perhaps one of the most startling revelations. I saw a great deception sweeping across the Earth—but it wasn't what many might expect. It wasn't obviously evil or frightening. Instead, it was subtle and appeared beautiful on the surface.
"Watch carefully," Jesus said, "for in these days, there will arise those who claim to have the answers to humanity's greatest problems. They will speak of unity and peace, but their words will be rooted in human wisdom rather than divine truth. Many will be deceived because these solutions will appear to offer hope without requiring repentance or submission to God."
I watched as charismatic leaders emerged, promising a new era of human achievement and harmony. Their words were compelling; their plans seemed flawless. And their influence spread rapidly across the globe. They spoke of human potential, technological advancement, and a new understanding of spirituality that carefully avoided any mention of sin, judgment, or the need for salvation through Christ alone.
"This deception," Jesus explained, "will test even My faithful ones. It will require great discernment to recognize the difference between human wisdom and divine truth. Many will be tempted to compromise their faith in the name of unity and progress."
As the 15th day before His return approached in the vision, I witnessed something that made my heart race. The atmosphere itself seemed to change. The air became charged with a tangible spiritual energy that affected everything and everyone.
"In these days," Jesus said, "I will pour out My Spirit in an unprecedented way. Young and old, believers and unbelievers, will experience divine encounters. But not all will interpret these experiences correctly. Many will try to explain them away or twist their meaning to fit their own understanding."
I watched as people from every nation, tribe, and tongue began experiencing supernatural encounters. Some saw angels; others had dreams of judgment and mercy. Still others received specific warnings and instructions. But what amazed me most was how these experiences crossed all denominational and religious boundaries. God was reaching out to everyone, giving them a final chance to recognize and accept the truth.
The 10th day before His return brought a dramatic shift in the vision. I saw a great separation beginning to take place—not a physical separation, but a spiritual one that became increasingly visible in the natural realm. People who had sat next to each other in church pews for years suddenly found themselves on opposite sides of a profound spiritual divide.
"This separation," Jesus explained, "will not be based on denominational lines or theological traditions. It will be based on the condition of hearts. Those who truly know Me will be drawn together in unprecedented unity, while those who have only known Me in form but not in spirit will find themselves drawn to the growing deception."
I watched as this separation created both pain and purpose. Families were divided; friendships were tested; and communities were split. But among those who remained faithful, I saw a unity and love that transcended all natural boundaries. They came together across denominational lines, cultural differences, and social divisions—united by their genuine relationship with Christ.
The seventh day before His return revealed something that brought me to tears. I saw a wave of supernatural love and forgiveness sweeping across the body of Christ. People who had been bitter enemies were reconciling; old wounds were being healed; decades-long church splits were being mended.
"This," Jesus said, "will be one of the most powerful testimonies to the world in the final days—when My people demonstrate supernatural love and forgiveness in the midst of growing darkness. Many will be drawn to the light of My truth."
I watched as this love transformed communities. Churches that had competed with or criticized each other for years came together in humble repentance and unity. The world watched in amazement as Christians demonstrated a level of love and forgiveness that could only be explained by divine intervention.
The fifth day before His return brought a sobering vision. I saw a great testing come upon the Earth—not just of faith, but of everything people had built their lives upon. Economic systems, political structures, social institutions—everything that seemed stable and secure began to shake.
"This shaking," Jesus explained, "will reveal what is built on truth and what is built on sand. Many who thought they were spiritually secure will discover their foundation was weak, while those who seemed weak in the world's eyes will stand strong because they are built on Me."
I watched as people's faith was tested in ways they never expected. It wasn't just persecution or hardship—it was a testing of the very foundations of their beliefs and assumptions. Those who had built their lives on religious tradition rather than relationship with God found their faith crumbling, while those who knew Him intimately stood firm.
The third day before His return showed me something that still fills me with awe. I saw the glory of God begin to manifest in a tangible way among His people. It wasn't just in church buildings or during worship services—it was everywhere His people went. They carried His presence in such a powerful way that it affected the physical world around them.
"In these final days," Jesus said, "My glory will be seen on My people in a way that hasn't been witnessed since the early church. Signs and wonders will follow those who truly know Me—not because they seek these things, but because they are a natural outflow of My presence in their lives."
I watched as ordinary believers ministered with extraordinary power. The sick were healed; the oppressed were delivered; and the lost were saved through simple acts of obedience. But what struck me most was the humility of these believers. They took no credit for themselves but pointed everyone to Jesus.
The final day before His return showed me something that words can barely describe. I saw a light begin to dawn—not a physical light, but a spiritual illumination that touched every corner of the Earth. People everywhere suddenly understood the times they were living in with crystal clarity. "This final day," Jesus explained, "will be marked by absolute clarity. Everyone will know what they have chosen and why. There will be no more middle ground, no more fence-sitting, no more spiritual ambiguity." I watched as this clarity brought both great joy and deep anguish. Those who had chosen Christ rejoiced as they saw His return approaching, while those who had rejected Him finally understood what they had lost. The air itself seemed to be charged with anticipation and finality.
Then Jesus turned to me, and His eyes held both love and urgency. "Tell them what you have seen," He said. "Tell them that time is short, but there is still room at the cross. Tell them that My return is not just about judgment—it's about gathering My beloved ones to Myself. Tell them that every vision I've shown you is an expression of My love, calling My children to make themselves ready."
I wanted to stay in His presence forever—to ask more questions, to understand more fully—but I felt myself being drawn back. The last thing I heard Him say was:
"Remember, these things are not revealed to create fear, but to awaken hope and preparation in the hearts of My people."
The next thing I knew, I was back in my body, surrounded by medical personnel in the emergency room. They told me I had suffered a severe cardiac event, but they were amazed at my complete recovery. The doctors couldn't explain it, but I knew that God had allowed this experience for a purpose.
I share this testimony not to create sensation or controversy but because I was commanded to tell what I saw. The 30 days before Christ's return will be both glorious and challenging—filled with both divine manifestations and deep deception. The key to standing firm in these times is not knowledge of these events but a genuine, intimate relationship with Jesus Christ.
As I close this testimony, I want to emphasize that these events weren't shown to me so we could mark them on a calendar or create new prophecy charts. They were revealed to awaken us to the urgency of the hour and the importance of being ready—not through fear or religious activity, but through genuine relationship with Jesus Christ.
The question isn't whether these events will happen exactly as I saw them. The question is whether we will be ready when Christ returns. Are we building our lives on the solid foundation of Jesus Christ? Are we living in genuine relationship with Him, or merely practicing religion?
These are the questions that should occupy our hearts as we consider these revelations.
I've shared this experience as faithfully as I can. Pray that it touches your heart and draws you closer to Jesus Christ—for in the end, that's what matters most. Not the signs and wonders, not the dramatic events, but our relationship with the One who loves us more than we can comprehend.
Let us be ready—not in fear, but in joyful anticipation of His return.
At first, I felt an unusual tightness in my chest. I thought maybe it was just anxiety—I'd been under a lot of stress lately with work and family obligations. But within seconds, the pain became intense, like nothing I'd ever experienced before. The remote control slipped from my hand, clattering to the floor. I tried to stand up, but my legs wouldn't cooperate. The last thing I remember was Milo jumping off the couch and the room starting to spin. The doctors later told me I was clinically dead for 13 minutes and 42 seconds. But what I experienced in those minutes felt like an eternity. And what I saw—what I was shown—I know I have to share it with the world. The moment I left my body, everything changed. It wasn't like drifting off to sleep or passing out. It was instant, like switching channels on a TV. One moment I was in my living room, and the next, I was somewhere else entirely.
But before I tell you about what I saw regarding the 30 days before Christ's return, I need to describe the beginning of this experience because every detail matters. The first thing I noticed was the absence of pain. All the physical discomfort that had overwhelmed me seconds before was gone. I found myself in what I can only describe as a space between spaces. It wasn't dark, but it wasn't exactly light either. It was like being suspended in a dimension where earthly concepts of light and dark didn't quite apply. The air—if you could call it that—felt thick with presence, like being immersed in pure consciousness. That's when I heard my name being called. The voice was unlike anything I'd ever heard before. It carried authority but was also filled with such profound love that I felt it resonating through every part of my being. I turned around, and there He was.
I knew instantly it was Jesus, though He looked nothing like the paintings or images we see in churches. His presence was overwhelming, yet I felt completely at peace. His eyes held the weight of eternity but also an infinite tenderness that made me feel completely known and completely loved.
"Payton," He said again, and His voice seemed to exist both inside and outside of me simultaneously. "I have brought you here because time is short, and My people need to know what is coming."

WORLD WAR, NO GOLDEN AGE, NO RAPTURE BEFORE TRIBULATION
3/30/25 8:48 PM Alison Pound Thursday 27th March 2025
This is what the Lord God says:
The dead are going to pile up in the Ukraine.
Yes, war is coming, world war.
The French President will go against Russia because Russia and Putin will provoke him. France does not want a war. They are a small nation. But their leader will put them into a war.
The NATO nations will go to war. I am telling you today, that the dead bodies will pile up in the Ukraine and when they are done there, the aggressors will move on.
Russia wants more countries. This will be achieved through war.
I am giving Russia favour over the nations. Not because they are good, God fearing people, but because I have determined that they will be used to take down the very wicked.
That nation America. Her days are numbered. The wickedness at work in America is historic. And the people, My people in that nation, will not hear of it! They do not understand that I am AGAINST their nation.
I Am looking for a people who are WITH ME. If they want to be with Me, then they must be against what I AM AGAINST.
I Am against Donald Trump. I Am against the nation of America. She will not be great, there will be no ‘Golden Age’ . Instead, chaos will rule. When I Am done with Donald Trump, he will be taken out of the way.
I will allow those who want him dead, to kill him. And that will be soon. Very soon. But do not try to put a date on this.
I will not have My prophets putting dates on anything. Because I Am God. I will do as I please. And it pleases Me to not tell you the date that I shall act.
This is why other prophetic voices have come to grief – they have overstepped. They have tried to put words into MY mouth! I have never told them the day and the hour when I will act. I have told them how soon to within weeks and months. That is all. The enemy has had a field day with those who have posted dates and times.
As to the time of My Return, it is written in My Word that this will only come AFTER all the events described in My Word, have taken place.
I am very tired of hearing “rapture soon”, “tomorrow we fly”. My people are foolish. They do not read My Word with their eyes opened, nor with the understanding of My Holy Spirit. They have their own desires, they have their own doctrines and theories which they teach as fact, truth.
They must come into agreement with Me. If they do not, it will not go well for them in the days to come.
I am putting My chosen into tribulation. My chosen should read what My Word says will happen in the tribulation that comes at the end of the age. Because that is the tribulation that I am putting them into.
I will not leave them, nor forsake them. But they will go through this tribulation.
When this final trial for your faith is over, then I will come for you and all eyes shall see Me upon the clouds, with the whole heavenly host with Me. Hold fast to Me and do not give up, but wait for that Day, endure until the end as I require My beloved to do. And then you shall receive the crown of life.

My name is Chloe Marie Santos. I'm 16 years old, and on October 22nd, 2024, I died for 7 minutes after my heart stopped during what doctors called sudden cardiac arrest while I was getting ready for school in my bedroom.
I was a junior at Lincoln High School in Sacramento. I lived with my mom, who worked two jobs to keep us going after my dad left when I was 12. I wasn’t popular, but I had a few close friends. I spent most of my time studying because I wanted to get into a good college and make my mom proud. I believed in God, went to youth group sometimes, but honestly, I was more worried about my SAT scores than my spiritual life. I was just a regular teenager trying to figure out who I was supposed to be.
The next thing I knew, I was looking down at myself from the ceiling. My mom was shaking me, screaming. She was on the phone with 911, crying so hard she could barely talk. I wanted to tell her I was okay, but I couldn’t. I was there, but I wasn’t. I watched her try CPR like they show on TV, but it wasn’t working. I felt so sorry for her—she looked so scared and alone.
Then, everything around me started to fade away like someone was turning down the lights on a stage. But I wasn’t scared. I felt this incredible peace wash over me, like when you’re little and your mom wraps you in a warm blanket after a bath.
When the fading stopped, I was standing in a place that didn’t look like anywhere I’d ever been. The ground was soft like grass, but it glowed with this gentle white light. There were no buildings, no trees—just this endless, beautiful space that felt safe and perfect.
That’s when I felt Him before I saw Him. It was like the air itself changed—like when you walk into a room and can tell someone’s there even with your eyes closed. But this feeling was so much bigger than that. It was love—but not the kind of love I knew. This was love so powerful it made me want to cry and laugh and fall down all at the same time.
Then He spoke, and I still can’t explain what His voice was like. It wasn’t loud, but it filled everything. It wasn’t just in my ears—it was in my bones, in my heart, in parts of me I didn’t even know existed.
"Chloe."
I turned around, and there He was.
Jesus.
But He wasn’t like the Jesus I’d seen in the stained-glass windows at church or in my grandma’s pictures. He was young—maybe in His 20s—with dark hair and eyes so full of life they seemed to sparkle. His skin had this glow to it, like there was light coming from inside Him. When He smiled at me, I felt like I was the only person who had ever mattered to Him.
"Am I dead?" I whispered.
He stepped closer, and I could see that His eyes were the color of deep water, but they seemed to have stars in them.
"You’re here with me now," He said. "And there are things I need you to see."
He reached out His hand, and when I took it, I felt this warmth shoot through my whole body. It was like every good feeling I’d ever had—Christmas morning, my mom’s hugs, summer vacation, getting an A on a test I’d worked hard for—all happening at once.
Suddenly, we were somewhere else entirely. We were standing on what looked like a hill, but I could see the whole world spread out below us like a living map. I could see cities and oceans and mountains, all of them glowing softly.
"The time is coming," Jesus said, and His voice got more serious, "when I will allow darkness to cover the earth for three days. But first, I will give my children three signs to help them prepare."
As He spoke, the world below us started to move like I was watching a movie.
"The first sign," He said, "will be a sound."
Suddenly, I heard it. It was the most beautiful sound I’d ever heard—but also the most powerful. It was like music, but deeper than music—like the earth itself was singing. It seemed to come from everywhere at once—the sky, the ground, the air between us.
"This sound will be heard by every person on earth," Jesus explained. "It will last for exactly seven minutes. When my people hear it, something will awaken in their hearts. They will feel an urgency to prepare—not just their homes, but their souls."
I watched as people all over the world stopped what they were doing. Some fell to their knees right where they stood. Others looked up at the sky with wonder. But I could see that some people were scared—covering their ears, running away from the sound instead of listening to it.
"What are they supposed to prepare for?" I asked.
Jesus looked at me with such tenderness.
"They need to forgive, Chloe. The sound will make old hurts feel unbearable. Broken relationships will ache like fresh wounds. This is my Spirit calling them to make peace before the darkness comes."
I saw families having conversations they’d avoided for years. I saw people making phone calls, writing letters, showing up at doors they’d sworn they’d never walk through again. But I also saw others who ignored the feeling—who stayed angry and bitter even when their hearts were breaking.
"The second sign," Jesus continued, "will be the lights."
The scene changed, and now I was looking at the night sky—but it wasn’t normal. There were colors dancing across it that I’d never seen before—deep purples and bright golds and silvery whites, moving like curtains in the wind.
"These lights will appear for three nights in a row," Jesus said. "They will be visible from every part of the earth. When my people see them, they will know the time is very near. They will gather in their homes and spend these three nights in prayer and preparation."
I watched people come out of their houses to stare at the sky. Children pointed in wonder. Some adults were afraid, but others—the ones who had listened to the sound—they were busy. They were filling containers with water, gathering candles, calling their families to come home.
"And the third sign?" I asked, though part of me didn’t want to know.
Jesus turned to look directly at me, and I saw something in His eyes that made my chest tight. It was sadness—but also hope.
"The third sign will be the silence."
Everything around us went completely quiet. Not just quiet--silent in a way that felt supernatural, like even the air had stopped moving.
"For one full hour," He said, "every machine made by human hands will stop working. Cars will not start. Phones will go dead. Even the electricity will pause. Only the sounds that I created—wind, water, birds—will remain."
I saw it happening. Cities went completely silent. People came out of buildings, confused and frightened. Traffic lights went dark. Cell phone screens went black. But in that silence, something beautiful happened.
People started talking to each other--really talking. Neighbors who hadn’t spoken in years were suddenly having conversations. Families were gathering together without distractions.
"When the silence ends," Jesus said, "my people will have exactly 24 hours before the three days of darkness begin."
"Why darkness?" I asked, and my voice came out smaller than I meant it to.
Jesus knelt down so we were eye to eye.
"Because the world has forgotten how to be still with me. They fill every moment with noise and lights and distractions. They worship their devices more than they worship me. For three days, I will remove everything that pulls their attention away from what truly matters."
He showed me what it would look like—darkness so complete that candles and fires were the only light. No electricity anywhere. No internet, no TV, no phones. Just families sitting together, talking, praying, remembering how to be human.
"Those who have prepared their hearts will not be afraid," Jesus said. "They will use this time to draw close to me and to each other. They will discover they don’t need all the things they thought they needed to be happy."
But I also saw the other side—people who hadn’t prepared, who had ignored all three signs. They were panicking. Some were trying to break into stores. Others were fighting over what little they had. The darkness that was meant to bring peace had become their worst nightmare because they didn’t know how to be still.
"Lord," I said, and I started crying. "Why are you showing me this? I’m just a kid. No one’s going to believe me."
Jesus reached over and wiped the tears from my face.
"Chloe, do you think I chose you by accident? You have something many adults have lost—you still believe in things you can’t see. Your heart is still soft enough to hear my voice."
Then He showed me something that broke my heart.
I saw my mom sitting next to my hospital bed, holding my hand. Machines were beeping all around me, but the numbers weren’t good. A doctor was talking to her quietly, and I could see from his face that he was telling her to prepare for the worst.
"I don’t want to go back," I said, and I meant it with everything in me. Being with Jesus felt like coming home to a place I’d been missing my whole life without knowing it. "Please, can’t I just stay here?"
Jesus stood up and pulled me into the warmest, safest hug I’d ever felt.
"I know you’re tired, little one. I know the world is hard—especially for someone your age. But your mom needs you. And I need you to tell people what you’ve seen."
"But what if they don’t believe me? What if they think I’m making it up?"
He held me tighter.
"Some will believe. Some won’t. But that’s not your job to worry about. Your job is to plant the seed. I’ll take care of making it grow."
I looked back toward Earth—toward my mom crying over my body.
"Will I see you again?"
"Every time you pray, I’m there," He said. "Every time you choose kindness over anger, every time you forgive instead of holding a grudge, every time you help someone who’s hurting—I’m right there with you. And when your real time comes—many years from now—I’ll be waiting."
He kissed the top of my head, and I felt such overwhelming love that I thought I might disappear into it.
"Now go," He whispered. "Tell them what you’ve seen. Help them prepare their hearts. And Chloe… don’t be afraid. I’m in control of everything that’s coming."
The next thing I knew, I was being pulled away from Him, and I fought it with everything I had. I didn’t want to leave that love, that peace, that perfect sense of belonging.
But then I heard my mom’s voice—far away but getting clearer.
"Please, baby… please come back to me. I can’t do this without you."
I gasped so hard it hurt.
The hospital lights were so bright I had to squeeze my eyes shut. There were machines everywhere, beeping and humming. A doctor was leaning over me with the most shocked expression I’d ever seen.
"That’s impossible," he whispered to a nurse. "She was flatlined for 37 minutes. There should be brain damage. There should be… This doesn’t make sense."
My mom grabbed my hand and started crying so hard she was shaking.
"Oh, Chloe… oh, baby, I thought I lost you forever."
I tried to talk, but my throat was so dry. Finally, I managed to whisper:
"Mom… I saw Him. I saw Jesus."
She just held me and cried.
The doctors kept me in the hospital for a week, running test after test. They couldn’t explain what had happened. My heart was perfectly fine. My brain scans were normal. They called it a miracle—but I knew what it really was.
It was Jesus giving me a second chance… and a mission.
When I finally told my mom everything I’d seen, she just listened quietly. When I finished, she was quiet for a long time. Then she said:
"Honey, I’ve been feeling something strange lately—like I need to start preparing for something, but I didn’t know what. Now I think I do."
That was six months ago.
Since then, I’ve been sharing my story with anyone who will listen. Some kids at school think I’m weird now. Some adults get upset, like I’m trying to scare them. But others… others listen with tears in their eyes because they feel it too.
They feel something coming.
I’ve changed a lot since it happened. The things that used to stress me out—grades, popularity, what college I’ll get into—none of that seems as important now. I spend more time with my mom. I’m nicer to the kids at school who don’t have friends. I pray every day—not because I have to, but because I want to talk to Jesus again.
I keep thinking about those three signs:
If you’re listening to this, please don’t think I’m just some crazy teenager making stuff up. I know how it sounds—but I also know what I experienced. I held Jesus’s hand. I felt His love. I saw what’s coming.
The three days of darkness aren’t meant to punish us. They’re meant to save us—to help us remember what really matters, to bring us back to God when we’ve gotten so distracted by everything else.
You can start preparing now. And I don’t just mean stockpiling food and candles (though that’s important too). I mean preparing your heart.
It’s Jesus calling His children home to Him.
I died for seven minutes… and I came back to tell you this:
Heaven is real. Jesus is real. And He loves you more than you could ever imagine.
He loves you enough to warn you about what’s coming—so you can be ready.
The question isn’t whether you believe me.
The question is:
What are you going to do about it?
Because when that sound comes… when those lights appear… when the silence falls…
It will be too late to prepare your heart.
But it’s not too late now.
Right now—in this moment—you can choose to listen.
You can choose to prepare.
You can choose to come home to the One who’s been waiting for you your whole life.
Don’t wait.
Please… don’t wait.
Because I’ve seen what’s coming.
And I’ve seen His love.
And I want everyone to be ready for it.
I was a junior at Lincoln High School in Sacramento. I lived with my mom, who worked two jobs to keep us going after my dad left when I was 12. I wasn’t popular, but I had a few close friends. I spent most of my time studying because I wanted to get into a good college and make my mom proud. I believed in God, went to youth group sometimes, but honestly, I was more worried about my SAT scores than my spiritual life. I was just a regular teenager trying to figure out who I was supposed to be.
The next thing I knew, I was looking down at myself from the ceiling. My mom was shaking me, screaming. She was on the phone with 911, crying so hard she could barely talk. I wanted to tell her I was okay, but I couldn’t. I was there, but I wasn’t. I watched her try CPR like they show on TV, but it wasn’t working. I felt so sorry for her—she looked so scared and alone.
Then, everything around me started to fade away like someone was turning down the lights on a stage. But I wasn’t scared. I felt this incredible peace wash over me, like when you’re little and your mom wraps you in a warm blanket after a bath.
When the fading stopped, I was standing in a place that didn’t look like anywhere I’d ever been. The ground was soft like grass, but it glowed with this gentle white light. There were no buildings, no trees—just this endless, beautiful space that felt safe and perfect.
That’s when I felt Him before I saw Him. It was like the air itself changed—like when you walk into a room and can tell someone’s there even with your eyes closed.

- Forgive the people who hurt you—even if they don’t deserve it.
- Tell your family you love them—even if it feels awkward.
- Pray—even if you’re not sure how.
- Read the Bible—even if you’ve never opened it before.
It’s Jesus calling His children home to Him.
I died for seven minutes… and I came back to tell you this:
Heaven is real. Jesus is real. And He loves you more than you could ever imagine.
He loves you enough to warn you about what’s coming—so you can be ready.
The question isn’t whether you believe me.
The question is:
What are you going to do about it?
Because when that sound comes… when those lights appear… when the silence falls…
It will be too late to prepare your heart.
But it’s not too late now.
Right now—in this moment—you can choose to listen.
You can choose to prepare.
You can choose to come home to the One who’s been waiting for you your whole life.
Don’t wait.
Please… don’t wait.
Because I’ve seen what’s coming.
And I’ve seen His love.
And I want everyone to be ready for it.
My name is Margaret, and I'm 47 years old. I've been a nurse for over twenty years, working in emergency rooms and seeing things that would make most people lose their faith. But what happened to me three years ago changed everything I thought I knew about life, death, and what's coming for this world—especially the six shocking signs before the Three Days of Darkness that Jesus revealed directly to me.
But before we start, please let me know where you're listening from. It will be nice to feel closer, even if we're physically apart. Also, don’t forget to like and comment on what you thought about this Near Death Experience testimony. Let's have a fair and open discussion so we can learn from each other on this channel.
Enjoy listening.
It happened on Tuesday evening in September, 2022. I was working a double shift at the hospital when I started feeling dizzy. At first, I thought it was just exhaustion, but then the chest pain started. Not the kind you'd expect from a heart attack—this was different. My colleague rushed me to the ER where they discovered I was having a severe reaction to a medication I'd been taking for months without any problems. My blood pressure dropped so fast the monitors couldn't keep up, and then everything went black.
The next thing I knew, I was standing in a place that felt more real than anything I'd ever experienced on earth. The ground beneath my feet was solid but seemed to glow with a soft light. There were no buildings or landmarks, just an endless expanse of peace that made me feel completely safe.
That's when I heard His voice. It wasn't loud, but it filled every part of me. "Margaret," He said, and I turned around to see Jesus standing there. He wasn't the pale, weak figure I'd seen in church paintings. He was strong, with dark hair and eyes that seemed to hold all the love in the universe. When He looked at me, I felt like I was the most important person who had ever lived.
"Lord," I whispered, "am I dead?"
He smiled, and that smile made everything else fade away. "You're here with me now, and I have important things to show you. The time is short, and my people need to know what's coming."
He took my hand, and immediately I felt this incredible warmth flow through me. It was like every good feeling I'd ever had was multiplied by a thousand. Then suddenly we were somewhere else—standing on what looked like a mountain, but I could see the entire world spread out below us like a living map.
"Margaret," Jesus said, "I am going to allow darkness to cover the earth for three days. But before this happens, I will give my children six signs to prepare them. The first sign will be a sound—a trumpet blast from heaven that will be heard by every person on earth."
As He spoke, I heard it. It was the most beautiful and terrifying sound I'd ever experienced. It was like a trumpet, but deeper and more powerful than any earthly instrument. The sound seemed to come from everywhere at once—the sky, the ground, the very air around us.
"This sound will last for exactly seven minutes," Jesus explained. "When my people hear it, they will know in their hearts that I am calling them to prepare. Those who belong to me will feel an urgency to get right with me and with each other."
I watched as people all over the world stopped what they were doing. Some fell to their knees right where they stood. Others looked up at the sky with wonder and fear. But I could see that many people were frightened, covering their ears and running away from the sound instead of listening to what it meant.
"What should they do when they hear it?" I asked.
Jesus looked at me with such love and concern. "They need to repent and forgive," He said. "The sound will awaken something in their spirits. Old hurts will feel fresh again, and broken relationships will ache like open wounds. This is my Spirit calling them to make peace before the darkness comes."
I saw families having conversations they'd avoided for years. People were making phone calls, writing letters, and showing up at doors they'd sworn they'd never walk through again. But I also saw others who ignored the feeling in their hearts, who stayed angry and bitter even when they could feel God calling them to forgiveness.
"The second sign," Jesus continued, "will be lights in the sky unlike anything the world has ever seen."
The scene changed, and now I was looking at the night sky, but it wasn't normal. There were colors dancing across it that I'd never seen before—deep purples, bright golds, and silvery whites moving like curtains in the wind. But these weren't just northern lights. These were supernatural lights that seemed to pulse with life.
"These lights will appear for three consecutive nights," Jesus said. "They will be visible from every part of the earth, even in places where such lights have never been seen before. When my people see them, they will know the time is very near."
I watched people come out of their houses to stare at the sky. Children pointed in wonder, but many adults were afraid. However, those who had listened to the trumpet sound—those who had prepared their hearts—were busy. They were filling containers with water, gathering candles, and calling their families to come home.
"Lord," I said, "what about the people who don't understand what these signs mean?"
His face grew sad. "Many will try to explain them away with science. They will say it's just a natural phenomenon, or blame it on solar activity. But my people will know the truth because my Spirit will witness to their spirits."
"The third sign will be the most obvious," Jesus said. "I will cause a cross to appear in the sky, visible to the entire world at the same time."
I saw it then—a massive cross of light stretched across the heavens. It wasn't made of wood or metal, but of pure light that seemed to pulse with divine energy. The cross was so bright it could be seen even during the day, and it remained there for exactly three hours.
"This will happen on the third day after the lights appear," Jesus explained. "When people see my cross in the sky, even the most stubborn hearts will know that I am real and that I am coming soon. Some will fall to their knees in repentance, but others will become even more hardened in their rebellion."
I watched as people around the world reacted to the cross. Some were weeping, some were praying, but others were angry and defiant. I saw government officials trying to come up with explanations, scientists scrambling to understand what they were seeing, and religious leaders either proclaiming the truth or trying to explain it away.
"The fourth sign will be the silence," Jesus said, and His voice carried a weight that made me shiver.
Everything around us went completely quiet—not just quiet, but silent in a way that felt supernatural. It was like the entire universe held its breath.
"For one full hour," Jesus said, "every machine made by human hands will stop working. Cars will not start, phones will go dead, and even the electricity will fail. Only the sounds that I created—wind, water, and birds—will remain."
I saw it happening: entire cities went completely silent, people came out of buildings confused and frightened, traffic lights went dark, and cell phone screens went black. But in that silence, something beautiful happened. People started talking to each other—really talking. Neighbors who hadn't spoken in years were suddenly having conversations. Families were gathering together without distractions.
"This silence will prepare them for what comes next," Jesus said. "It will show them how dependent they've become on the things of this world, and how little they depend on me."
"The fifth sign will be an earthquake unlike any other," Jesus continued. "It will be felt around the entire world at the same time, but it will not destroy buildings or hurt people who have prepared their hearts."
I watched as the earth shook, but it wasn't the kind of earthquake that brings destruction. Instead, it seemed to wake people up spiritually. Those who had been ignoring the previous signs suddenly understood that something supernatural was happening.
"This earthquake will last for exactly ten minutes," Jesus explained. "It will be my final call to repentance before the darkness comes. After this, there will be no more time to prepare."
I saw people who had been skeptical finally falling to their knees, crying out to God for mercy. But I also saw others who became even more defiant, shaking their fists at the sky and cursing God's name.
"The sixth and final sign," Jesus said, "will be my voice speaking from heaven. Every person on earth will hear me speak in their own language, and they will know it is me."
I heard His voice then, not just speaking to me, but echoing across the entire world. It was the same voice I'd been hearing, but now it was amplified so that everyone could hear it.
"My children," the voice said, "I have given you these signs to prepare your hearts for what is coming. In twenty-four hours, darkness will cover the earth for three days. Those who have prepared will not be afraid, but those who have rejected me will experience terror like never before. This is your last chance to choose—choose me, choose life, choose love over hatred and forgiveness over bitterness."
I watched as people around the world heard this message. Some fell to their knees in worship, finally understanding that Jesus was real and that He loved them. Others covered their ears and ran, unable to bear the conviction they felt in their hearts.
"Now I will show you the three days of darkness," Jesus said, and the scene around us changed again.
I saw the earth covered in a darkness so complete that no artificial light could penetrate it. Candles and fires still burned, but electric lights were useless. No power grids worked, no phones had service, and no vehicles would start.
"This darkness will last for exactly seventy-two hours," Jesus explained. "During this time, I will remove every distraction that pulls people's attention away from what truly matters. They will be forced to be still and know that I am God."
I saw two different groups of people during this darkness. Those who had prepared their hearts were calm and peaceful. They had stocked up on food, water, and candles, but more importantly, they had prepared spiritually. They spent the three days in prayer, worship, and fellowship with their families.
But those who had rejected the signs were in complete panic. They tried to break into stores, fought over supplies, and lived in terror. The darkness that was meant to bring them closer to God became their worst nightmare because they didn't know how to be still.
"Why three days, Lord?" I asked.
Jesus looked at me with such tenderness. "Just as I was in the tomb for three days before my resurrection, the world will be in darkness for three days before its spiritual awakening. Those who survive this time with faith will see a new world—a world where I reign as King."
"Margaret," Jesus said, "do you understand why I'm showing you this?"
I shook my head. "Lord, I'm just a nurse. Who's going to believe me?"
He smiled and placed His hand on my shoulder. "I chose you because you've spent your life caring for others. You understand suffering, and you understand healing. You've seen death, and you've seen life. You know the difference between what's real and what's not."
He showed me scenes from my life—all the times I'd held someone's hand as they died, all the times I'd prayed for patients when the doctors had given up hope, all the times I'd seen miracles happen in that hospital.
"You've been preparing for this moment your whole life," He said. "I need you to warn my people. I need you to tell them that these signs are not meant to frighten them, but to prepare them."
"How should they prepare?" I asked.
Jesus began to teach me, and I listened carefully to every word. "First, they must prepare their hearts. They need to repent of their sins and ask for my forgiveness. They need to forgive those who have hurt them, even if it's hard. They need to make peace with their families and friends."
He continued, "Second, they need to prepare practically. They should store food, water, and candles for the three days. But they shouldn't hoard—they should share with their neighbors and help those who cannot prepare for themselves."
"Third," He said, "they need to prepare spiritually. They should read my Word, pray every day, and gather with other believers. They should fast and seek my face. They should turn off their televisions and phones and learn to be quiet before me."
I saw the scripture from Matthew 24:21-22 come to life: "For then there will be great distress, unequaled from the beginning of the world until now—and never to be equaled again. If those days had not been cut short, no one would survive, but for the sake of the elect those days will be shortened."
"Lord," I said, "what about the people who do prepare? What will happen to them?"
His face lit up with joy. "Those who have prepared their hearts will be under my protection. The darkness will not frighten them because they will know that I am with them. They will have peace in the midst of chaos, light in the midst of darkness, and hope in the midst of despair."
He showed me families gathered together during the three days, praying and singing and sharing stories. Children who had been afraid were now calm because their parents trusted in God. Elderly people who had been worried about death were now peaceful because they knew they were going home soon.
"After the three days," Jesus said, "the sun will rise again, but the world will be different. Evil will be greatly diminished, and righteousness will flourish. It will be a time of great revival and harvest for my kingdom."
I remembered the words from Joel 2:31-32: "The sun will be turned to darkness and the moon to blood before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord. And everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved."
"Margaret," Jesus said, His voice becoming urgent, "time is running out. These signs could begin at any moment. I need you to warn as many people as possible."
He showed me a vision of people hearing my testimony. Some believed and began to prepare, but others laughed and mocked. Some religious leaders accepted the message, but others rejected it because it didn't fit their theology.
"Don't be discouraged by those who don't believe," He said. "Your job is to plant the seed. I will make it grow in the hearts that are ready to receive it."
He then showed me the scripture from 2 Peter 3:9: "The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance."
"This is why I'm sending these signs," Jesus explained. "Not to condemn the world, but to save it. Not to bring fear, but to bring people to repentance. I love every person on earth, and I don't want anyone to perish in the darkness."
"Lord," I said, and I started crying, "I don't want to leave you. Can't I just stay here?"
Jesus pulled me into an embrace that felt like coming home. "I know you're tired, my daughter. I know the world is hard. But your work isn't finished yet. Your husband needs you, your children need you, and I need you to share this message."
He showed me a vision of my family gathered around my hospital bed. My husband was holding my hand, praying desperately. My adult children had flown in from different states, and they were all crying. The doctors were telling them to prepare for the worst.
"If you go back now," Jesus said, "you'll have many more years to serve me. You'll see your grandchildren grow up, and you'll be able to prepare many people for what's coming."
I looked into His eyes one more time. "Will I see you again?"
"Every time you pray, I'm there," He promised. "Every time you share this message, I'm speaking through you. Every time you help someone prepare, I'm working through you. And when your real time comes, I'll be waiting for you."
He kissed my forehead, and I felt such overwhelming love that I thought I might dissolve into it. "Now go," He whispered. "Tell them what you've seen. Help them prepare. And Margaret, don't be afraid—I'm in control of everything that's coming."
The next thing I knew, I was gasping for air in the hospital bed. The machines around me were beeping frantically, and there were doctors and nurses everywhere. My husband was squeezing my hand so tight it hurt, and he was crying.
My heart was fine, my brain was fine, and the medication reaction that had killed me was completely gone from my system. The doctors called it a miracle, but I knew what it really was—Jesus had sent me back with a mission.
If you're reading this, please don't dismiss it as just another crazy story. I held Jesus's hand. I heard His voice. I saw what's coming. The six signs are real, and they could begin at any moment.
Start preparing your heart today. Forgive those who have hurt you. Make peace with your family. Turn off the distractions and learn to be quiet before God. Stock up on supplies, but more importantly, stock up on faith. Because when that trumpet sounds, when those lights appear, when that cross blazes across the sky, it will be too late to get ready.
The choice is yours, but the time is short. Don't wait until the signs begin. Prepare now, while there's still time. Because I've seen what's coming, and I've seen His love, and I want everyone to be ready.
Remember the words of Jesus in Matthew 24:44: "So you also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him."
The hour is coming. Are you ready?

Here is the sequence of events as described in Margaret's message:
The Six Signs Before the Three Days of Darkness
The Three Days of Darkness
Margaret’s Return & Mission
Final Warning:
"Don’t wait—prepare now. When the signs start, it will be too late."
But before we start, please let me know where you're listening from. It will be nice to feel closer, even if we're physically apart. Also, don’t forget to like and comment on what you thought about this Near Death Experience testimony. Let's have a fair and open discussion so we can learn from each other on this channel.
Enjoy listening.
It happened on Tuesday evening in September, 2022. I was working a double shift at the hospital when I started feeling dizzy. At first, I thought it was just exhaustion, but then the chest pain started. Not the kind you'd expect from a heart attack—this was different. My colleague rushed me to the ER where they discovered I was having a severe reaction to a medication I'd been taking for months without any problems. My blood pressure dropped so fast the monitors couldn't keep up, and then everything went black.
The next thing I knew, I was standing in a place that felt more real than anything I'd ever experienced on earth. The ground beneath my feet was solid but seemed to glow with a soft light. There were no buildings or landmarks, just an endless expanse of peace that made me feel completely safe.
That's when I heard His voice. It wasn't loud, but it filled every part of me. "Margaret," He said, and I turned around to see Jesus standing there. He wasn't the pale, weak figure I'd seen in church paintings. He was strong, with dark hair and eyes that seemed to hold all the love in the universe. When He looked at me, I felt like I was the most important person who had ever lived.
"Lord," I whispered, "am I dead?"
He smiled, and that smile made everything else fade away. "You're here with me now, and I have important things to show you. The time is short, and my people need to know what's coming."
He took my hand, and immediately I felt this incredible warmth flow through me. It was like every good feeling I'd ever had was multiplied by a thousand. Then suddenly we were somewhere else—standing on what looked like a mountain, but I could see the entire world spread out below us like a living map.
"Margaret," Jesus said, "I am going to allow darkness to cover the earth for three days. But before this happens, I will give my children six signs to prepare them. The first sign will be a sound—a trumpet blast from heaven that will be heard by every person on earth."
As He spoke, I heard it. It was the most beautiful and terrifying sound I'd ever experienced. It was like a trumpet, but deeper and more powerful than any earthly instrument. The sound seemed to come from everywhere at once—the sky, the ground, the very air around us.
"This sound will last for exactly seven minutes," Jesus explained. "When my people hear it, they will know in their hearts that I am calling them to prepare. Those who belong to me will feel an urgency to get right with me and with each other."
I watched as people all over the world stopped what they were doing. Some fell to their knees right where they stood. Others looked up at the sky with wonder and fear. But I could see that many people were frightened, covering their ears and running away from the sound instead of listening to what it meant.
"What should they do when they hear it?" I asked.
Jesus looked at me with such love and concern. "They need to repent and forgive," He said. "The sound will awaken something in their spirits. Old hurts will feel fresh again, and broken relationships will ache like open wounds. This is my Spirit calling them to make peace before the darkness comes."
I saw families having conversations they'd avoided for years. People were making phone calls, writing letters, and showing up at doors they'd sworn they'd never walk through again. But I also saw others who ignored the feeling in their hearts, who stayed angry and bitter even when they could feel God calling them to forgiveness.
"The second sign," Jesus continued, "will be lights in the sky unlike anything the world has ever seen."
The scene changed, and now I was looking at the night sky, but it wasn't normal. There were colors dancing across it that I'd never seen before—deep purples, bright golds, and silvery whites moving like curtains in the wind. But these weren't just northern lights. These were supernatural lights that seemed to pulse with life.
"These lights will appear for three consecutive nights," Jesus said. "They will be visible from every part of the earth, even in places where such lights have never been seen before. When my people see them, they will know the time is very near."
I watched people come out of their houses to stare at the sky. Children pointed in wonder, but many adults were afraid. However, those who had listened to the trumpet sound—those who had prepared their hearts—were busy. They were filling containers with water, gathering candles, and calling their families to come home.
"Lord," I said, "what about the people who don't understand what these signs mean?"
His face grew sad. "Many will try to explain them away with science. They will say it's just a natural phenomenon, or blame it on solar activity. But my people will know the truth because my Spirit will witness to their spirits."
"The third sign will be the most obvious," Jesus said. "I will cause a cross to appear in the sky, visible to the entire world at the same time."
I saw it then—a massive cross of light stretched across the heavens. It wasn't made of wood or metal, but of pure light that seemed to pulse with divine energy. The cross was so bright it could be seen even during the day, and it remained there for exactly three hours.
"This will happen on the third day after the lights appear," Jesus explained. "When people see my cross in the sky, even the most stubborn hearts will know that I am real and that I am coming soon. Some will fall to their knees in repentance, but others will become even more hardened in their rebellion."
I watched as people around the world reacted to the cross. Some were weeping, some were praying, but others were angry and defiant. I saw government officials trying to come up with explanations, scientists scrambling to understand what they were seeing, and religious leaders either proclaiming the truth or trying to explain it away.
"The fourth sign will be the silence," Jesus said, and His voice carried a weight that made me shiver.
Everything around us went completely quiet—not just quiet, but silent in a way that felt supernatural. It was like the entire universe held its breath.
"For one full hour," Jesus said, "every machine made by human hands will stop working. Cars will not start, phones will go dead, and even the electricity will fail. Only the sounds that I created—wind, water, and birds—will remain."
I saw it happening: entire cities went completely silent, people came out of buildings confused and frightened, traffic lights went dark, and cell phone screens went black. But in that silence, something beautiful happened. People started talking to each other—really talking. Neighbors who hadn't spoken in years were suddenly having conversations. Families were gathering together without distractions.
"This silence will prepare them for what comes next," Jesus said. "It will show them how dependent they've become on the things of this world, and how little they depend on me."
"The fifth sign will be an earthquake unlike any other," Jesus continued. "It will be felt around the entire world at the same time, but it will not destroy buildings or hurt people who have prepared their hearts."
I watched as the earth shook, but it wasn't the kind of earthquake that brings destruction. Instead, it seemed to wake people up spiritually. Those who had been ignoring the previous signs suddenly understood that something supernatural was happening.
"This earthquake will last for exactly ten minutes," Jesus explained. "It will be my final call to repentance before the darkness comes. After this, there will be no more time to prepare."
I saw people who had been skeptical finally falling to their knees, crying out to God for mercy. But I also saw others who became even more defiant, shaking their fists at the sky and cursing God's name.
"The sixth and final sign," Jesus said, "will be my voice speaking from heaven. Every person on earth will hear me speak in their own language, and they will know it is me."
I heard His voice then, not just speaking to me, but echoing across the entire world. It was the same voice I'd been hearing, but now it was amplified so that everyone could hear it.
"My children," the voice said, "I have given you these signs to prepare your hearts for what is coming. In twenty-four hours, darkness will cover the earth for three days. Those who have prepared will not be afraid, but those who have rejected me will experience terror like never before. This is your last chance to choose—choose me, choose life, choose love over hatred and forgiveness over bitterness."
I watched as people around the world heard this message. Some fell to their knees in worship, finally understanding that Jesus was real and that He loved them. Others covered their ears and ran, unable to bear the conviction they felt in their hearts.
"Now I will show you the three days of darkness," Jesus said, and the scene around us changed again.
I saw the earth covered in a darkness so complete that no artificial light could penetrate it. Candles and fires still burned, but electric lights were useless. No power grids worked, no phones had service, and no vehicles would start.
"This darkness will last for exactly seventy-two hours," Jesus explained. "During this time, I will remove every distraction that pulls people's attention away from what truly matters. They will be forced to be still and know that I am God."
I saw two different groups of people during this darkness. Those who had prepared their hearts were calm and peaceful. They had stocked up on food, water, and candles, but more importantly, they had prepared spiritually. They spent the three days in prayer, worship, and fellowship with their families.
But those who had rejected the signs were in complete panic. They tried to break into stores, fought over supplies, and lived in terror. The darkness that was meant to bring them closer to God became their worst nightmare because they didn't know how to be still.
"Why three days, Lord?" I asked.

The hour is coming. Are you ready?

Final Warning:
"Don’t wait—prepare now. When the signs start, it will be too late."
Christian, listen carefully. I was dead for 14 minutes, and in that time, Jesus showed me exactly what the three days of darkness truly are—not what people on YouTube say, not some Catholic myth, but a real prophetic warning from His own mouth.
My name is Brian Mitchell. I’m 68, and I live alone in a small cabin in Vermont. I taught American history for most of my life. I’ve read a lot about wars, disasters, and awakenings, but nothing prepared me for what I saw after I died.
Jesus said, “There are three days coming—Thursday, Friday, Saturday—each one will shake the earth in ways no man has seen.” And then He showed me three visions, each one more terrifying and more specific than the last. The final vision had to do with the silence before judgment and a choice every believer will have to make in that silence.
In today’s message, I’ll tell you exactly what He showed me and why the countdown has already begun.
If you feel a trembling inside, like your soul knows this is not just a story, then I ask you—don’t brush it off. Type “Amen” in the comments—not for me, but as a way of saying, “Lord, I hear You. I’m listening. Prepare my heart.” It means you are part of the ones He’s calling.
My wife, Clara, passed away nearly 15 years ago. It was a car accident while she was on her way to pick up our granddaughter from school. Strangely, on that fateful day, I had prayed in the morning—a simple prayer that God would keep everyone in the family safe. I’m not sure I still believe in Him after that day.
Since then, I still pray occasionally, but not because I’m expecting anything. It feels like an old habit—like drinking a cup of tea with no taste left. My son, Jonathan, moved to California after his mother died. He said he needed a fresh start—some new air, a new job. I understood. And so, I lived alone until the day everything changed.
I remember that night very clearly, as if it just happened yesterday. I was in the middle of reading about the fall of Rome when I felt a sharp pain in my chest. It wasn’t the kind of mild discomfort you can overlook. It felt like a huge stone was weighing down on me. Then someone plunged a cold knife straight into my heart.
I let the book fall. It thudded to the floor, wide open. The small crash sounded like thunder in that moment. I tried to stand up, reaching for the phone, but I couldn’t. My hands were trembling, and my legs felt completely weak. Sweat began to dampen my forehead. Even though the heater was still going steadily, I tried to call out, but my throat was choked. Not a single word could escape.
I collapsed, curled up on the cold wooden floor. The pale yellow light from the ceiling lamp blurred before my eyes. Everything spun around me. All I could feel was my ragged breath, my heart about to burst. Then it went cold—cold from the inside.
And then I thought of God—but not with the fearful reverence I had in the past. But with a quiet anger: “Are You there? Are You watching me?” I didn’t shout. I didn’t plead. I just asked in silence, like a forgotten child.
Death comes not as loudly as one might think. There’s no ringing of bells, no blinding light. It’s just that I gradually stopped hearing anything at all. The sound of the wind outside faded away. The crackling of the fire in the hearth grew silent. I lay still, watching the light on the ceiling blur in my eyes.
Then I felt nothing anymore. Just silence. A silence so profound that it made me feel as if I had never existed.
I don’t know exactly when I left. Everything just faded away. And then there was silence.
At first, I thought I was still lying there on the wooden floor in that old room. But when I opened my eyes—or at least felt like I did—I saw myself. My body lay still, unmoving, like a puppet with its strings cut—my cheek pressed against the floor, one hand still stretched out toward the phone I never reached for.
I hung above, looking down. No wings, no soothing music—just a very real silence. And I drifted in the midst of nothingness. I don’t feel afraid. Strange indeed. All burdens dissolve like mist.
I quietly gazed at my body one last time. Then darkness swept in. It wasn’t a frightening darkness—not cold or heavy—just a deep, vast, tranquil space, so quiet that I could hear even my deepest thoughts.
I didn’t know where I was floating or how long I had been drifting. Time there no longer existed as I once knew it. A second could feel like a lifetime, or a lifetime could pass like the blink of an eye.
Then the light appeared from afar—like a tiny star in the endless night. At first, I thought I was imagining it. But the light grew larger, clearer, warmer. It wasn’t blinding. It didn’t make me hesitate. It felt inviting, as if embracing me with a wordless love.
I don’t walk. I don’t fly. I am only being gently pulled toward it, peacefully, as if returning to where I truly belong.
The closer I get, the more I feel myself being cleansed. All the resentment, bitterness, and doubt fall away—layer by layer, like ash scattering in the wind.
I don’t know how long I’ve drifted in that light. As I said, time here no longer follows the old rules. It could be just a moment, or perhaps an eternity.
But then, little by little, that light faded away like morning dew, and I found myself standing on a land I couldn’t name. My body—or rather, my soul—is now filled with a pure energy. I can walk without any weight. Each step seems to dissolve into the earth, and the ground feels like it is uplifting me with an invisible love.
Something is waiting for me ahead. Someone divine. And as I take another step, I see Him in the distance—as if He has been standing there for eternity, just to wait for me to arrive.
As He drew closer, I recognized that face. Jesus. He didn’t need an introduction. No angels to announce Him. I just knew.
Then He spoke:
“Brian, My son.”
He called me son. Not the lost one. Not the hard-hearted. Not the old skeptic—but son.
“You have wandered too far. Your heart has hardened from worldly pains. But today, I call you here not to judge you, but to open your eyes—for an important moment is near.”
My friend, I don’t know what state of mind you are in when you read these lines. Maybe you are doubting, skeptical, like I used to doubt. Maybe you are in pain, depressed, feeling your life of faith as cold as ashes. If that is true, please comment “Amen.” Not because you are complete, but because you are also longing to see that gaze again—the gaze that knows everything but still loves—the gaze that once looked at me here in the field of light and called me “My child.”
He continued, this time with a more solemn tone—that didn’t lose its gentleness but carried a special weight:
“I will show you what is about to happen—not to instill fear, but for you to understand the urgency of love and redemption. The world is drowning in its own noise, forgetting My call.”
He paused for a moment, as if to let me catch my breath, to digest those words.
“Three days are coming. Three days—Thursday, Friday, and Saturday—will bring unprecedented changes to the earth. Three visions I am about to show you will correspond with those three days. And in the end, there will be a new dawn. But before the light shines bright, the darkness must pass.”
I shivered—not from fear, but because I knew I had been called to see, to understand, to tell.
I looked up at Him, whispering like a prayer: “I am ready.”
I vividly remember that moment. Even now, when I think back on it, I can’t measure time in that dimension. I stood beside Jesus—yet my feet no longer touched the ground. Or rather, I was no longer bound by the pull of the material world.
He didn’t say anything at that moment. He simply reached out His hand—and instantly, I found myself high above, looking down at Earth as if I were standing at the edge of the atmosphere.
It was a scene that was both majestic and overwhelming.
I saw the big cities—like a vibrant network of lights—millions of tiny beams intertwining, moving, shimmering like a heartbeat. Cars sped along the highway like bright threads, with advertising lights, skyscraper illuminations, the glow of screens, the shine of billboards—even flashes from satellites sweeping across the sky.
The earth shone brightly with the light created by human hands. It was beautiful—yet also full of arrogance.
And then—everything just went dark.
No explosion. No warning. Not a word of notice. It was like a giant switch had been flipped off, plunging the entire planet into darkness. Not the natural darkness that comes with sunset—but a chilling, hollow blackout.
I could see each city clearly—from New York, Tokyo, London, to peaceful countryside villages. All the lights went out.
In this place, phones have become useless. The internet has completely crashed. There are no radio signals, no sounds from TVs, and no familiar voices from newscasters or background music from online videos.
Trams are halted on the tracks. High-speed trains have come to a stop, and cars have stalled in the middle of the highway. Even the orbiting satellites seem to be paralyzed.
A massive silence has descended upon humanity.
I hear the screams—not with my ears, but with my soul. The cries erupting from chaotic airports, blackout hospitals, and train stations engulfed in darkness. Children wail. Adults curse. The elderly scream in terror.
On the busy streets, accidents occur in droves as the traffic control system fails. I see an airplane landing without a guiding light, plummeting into the woods. Some are buried under the rubble, while others run aimlessly, shouting for help. But no one can hear anyone. Each person trapped in their own crisis.
Not just the darkness outside—but a darkness within their hearts.
There are people going crazy. Looting begins to happen in the big cities—as lost individuals decide that order is dead and the law has no value. There are groups of people with guns storming into supermarkets, pharmacies, and gas stations.
But there are also those who choose to retreat.
I see an old woman lighting candles and trembling as she kneels in a small room, reading a worn Bible. I see a family in the countryside praying together, the candlelight flickering in the eyes of the children. I see a father carrying his little daughter on his shoulders, telling her that they will get through this if they trust in the One he used to hear about in his youth.
I choked up. I didn’t know if it was from grief or something greater.
While most of humanity screamed, a very few whispered. They whispered heartfelt prayers, long-forgotten repentances, invocations of the God they had forgotten in the hustle and bustle of life.
I turned to Jesus. He stood there silently. His gaze looked down at the earth—sad, but not hopeless.
His voice echoed without the need to move His lips:
“This is the day of silence. I will take away the idols of noise and distractions that humanity has worshiped. In this silence, some will begin to hear the whispers of their conscience—the call of Me they have long ignored. This is the first warning—a chance for them to turn back.”
I don’t know what you think, but I have lived in a world where the phone rings endlessly, news floods in without pause, and social media drowns out every genuine voice.
Yet there—in the absolute darkness and deep silence—I felt something that, as a history teacher my whole life, I had never taught.
Not every collapse is the end. Sometimes, it’s in the silence that the truest words can finally be heard.
Do you hear anything? Is there a whisper in your soul that you’ve ignored for too long?
If you’ve ever felt like you’ve strayed too far from the light, I urge you to stop and listen. If you still hold on to a faint glimmer of faith—even if it’s just a dying ember—pray. Light a spark of repentance.
Don’t wait until silence envelops you to recognize that call.
If you’re feeling something in your heart right now, leave an “Amen.” Not for me—but for yourself.
I thought I had witnessed the most terrifying thing during the vision on Thursday. But no—what happened on Friday was even more overwhelming.
If the first day was a shocking blow to humanity’s habits and dependence on technology and noise, then the second day was a struggle between darkness and light—between the choice of survival and the true nature of each individual.
I find myself standing in a vast place. It could be a plane. It could be the entire earth. I’m not sure.
I only know that the space suddenly becomes dense. The darkness is no longer just the absence of light, like a usual night. But it becomes tangible—thick, like a curtain tightly clinging to everything.
I can feel it—almost touch it—that cold, clammy darkness. And it feels alive. It is not without consciousness. It is a presence—a force.
And I realize it carries a scent. Not the scent of the earthly world—but the scent of despair, of primal fear, of the silent cries that humanity has tried to forget across countless generations.
From afar, the winds began to rise. Not a gentle breeze carrying the scent of earth or the saltiness of the sea—but a chilling wind, piercing to the bone, bringing with it whispers that sent shivers down my spine.
Though I couldn’t decipher the language, I understood—for it struck directly at my mind:
“It’s all meaningless.”
“No one is listening to you.”
“Surrender.”
Those words seeped into my spirit—not through my ears, but straight into my heart.
The wind swept through the city, the countryside, even the distant hills. I saw the trees bend as if bowing in fear.
In the sky, black mixed with red—like blood—long streaks cutting across like festering wounds. The swirling clouds churned like cauldrons filled with unspent rage.
And then I saw the people—thousands, millions of them—standing in front of my house, confused, scared, torn apart in their hearts.
They no longer knew what to believe in.
Some, overwhelmed by panic, opened their doors and rushed outside, hoping to find the truth in the darkness. I saw them—men, women, even children—running wildly, hands grasping at the air, eyes wide open.
But when those winds touched them, they weren’t just swept away like a leaf. They vanished. They melted—as if they had never existed, as if darkness consumed them from within.
Not just flesh and bone—but also their memories, their very last words. No one could call out their names anymore.
They disappeared like ashes scattered into a whirlwind of despair.
Some others—out of curiosity, out of arrogance, or because of a whisper in the wind saying “There’s something better out there. Go on. Leave.”—also stepped out.
They wanted to prove they were not afraid. They wanted to take control of their destiny.
But when they encountered that darkness, I saw their souls being torn apart. Not because their sins were too heavy—but because they had rejected the light when they had the chance.
They were pulled into the night of their own—just as the Lord had said.
And I understood—it was not a punishment from the outside, but the consequence from within themselves—from the very things they had nurtured and chosen throughout their lives.
But not everyone rushes out.
I was shown houses with their doors closed—not out of fear, but out of faith.
Inside, the small but warm candlelight illuminated the faces of those who were praying. They didn’t sing loudly, but each note rang out like a blessing.
I heard the words from Psalm 91:
“For He will command His angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways.”
They whispered. They cried. They held hands. But there was no panic among them. Instead, there was peace—a peace that surpasses all understanding.
Outside, the darkness is thick as ink. The wind howls and screams. But inside those houses, there is light—though small, it never goes out.
I see the angels—not like those in children’s picture books, but as radiant beings standing solemnly guard at the door.
The darkness cannot surpass them. It cannot enter where there are sincere prayers. It cannot break into the place of true repentance.
And I see myself—once a solitary soul in the woods, thinking I was strong, thinking I was good enough to not need redemption.
I see myself standing at a crossroads—and I shiver, not from the wind, but from the truth.
I once stepped outside—not with my feet, but with my heart. I had listened to those arrogant whispers: “You don’t need God. You’ve lived well enough.”
But as I stood there, seeing that divide clearer than any national border, I knew—the light and the darkness aren’t out there. But within every individual.
Jesus then spoke—His voice gentle, yet underscored by seriousness:
“This is the day of purging. As fire tests gold, so faith will be tested. Those without roots in Me—those who choose the path of selfishness and sin—will be swept away by darkness. But those who trust in Me—those who have built their house on rock—will be protected. This is not My punishment, but the natural consequence of the choices humanity has made.”
His voice echoed. And I knew—this was the moment when no one could stand in between.
It was either light or darkness. No more gray areas. No more neutrality.
Each person would have to live with the consequences of what they believe and what they choose.
If you’re reading this and still feel a stir in your heart, please don’t stay silent any longer.
If you’re living in a noisy world yet feel empty inside, kneel down and whisper a prayer.
You are not alone—but you can’t wait any longer.
Time is running out.
God spoke to me about the Saturday that no one knows about.
There were no birds singing, no light streaming through the cracks of the door, and no gentle breeze caressing the branches. The entire sky seemed to still be asleep in the darkness of the previous day.
But strangely, there were no more howls, no more wild whirlwinds, or the sorrowful moans echoing from afar.
Everything was submerged in a profound silence—but not a frightening silence. Rather, it was a sacred stillness—as if the entire universe was holding its breath before something truly monumental.
I see myself standing in the middle of an old road, flickering with light.
The simple houses—their doors still tightly shut like yesterday. But inside, something has changed.
I see people no longer anxious, no longer trembling, no longer asking, “When will it end?”
They kneel. They sing softly. They whisper through tears—not tears of fear, but tears of gratitude.
A profound peace radiates from the small rooms, seeping into every corner of the soul.
I have never seen such a sacred silence. A silence—not because everything has stopped—but because the hearts of humans have found calm.
I turned to the side and saw the angels. This time, they were no longer just appearing as in previous visions. It was no longer a vague feeling or fleeting shadows.
They stood out—radiant and majestic. Their eyes were like fire, yet they did not burn. The light from them was not blinding, but gentle—like the morning sun in autumn, spreading a sense of safety and awe.
They went from house to house—rather, to the houses that stood firm in the dark—and they carried a kind of divine light.
They raised their hands, marking a sign on the door—like the ancients who spread blood over the doorframe on the night of the Passover.
But this time, the mark emitted a glow—a colorless light, yet it seeped deep into the soul.
Then they placed their hands on the foreheads of each person—those who had held on to their faith, who had not forsaken the light in the darkest days.
And a seal appeared—clear, holy, eternal—the seal of the Lamb.
When the angel touched them, I saw a stream of light pouring down from the heavens, flooding over them like sweet nectar from paradise.
Some cried. Some fell flat on the ground. And others stood frozen, as if enveloped by the presence of something beyond understanding.
I saw them as if brought back to life—not in body, but in spirit.
The burdens, fears, and wounds within their hearts seemed to vanish. They were restored.
Angels do not merely bear a mark. They carry something akin to sustenance—not the ordinary bread or spring water we’re used to.
It is manna.
I don’t know how else to describe it. Something radiant—yet given in portions. When someone eats it, their face lights up. Their eyes glimmer with hope.
I heard a person whisper: “It’s sweeter than honey.” And reminds you of Him.
The water is also given—crystal clear, as if it flows from an eternal source. Whoever drinks it feels as if they are cleansed from the inside out.
No more hunger. No more thirst. No more lack. Only the fullness of the divine remains.
I thought that was everything—until the trumpet sounded.
It was unlike any sound I had ever heard. No orchestra, no earthly instrument could produce it.
The trumpet from heaven resonated—majestic and powerful—shaking the earth and opening the hearts of people.
The sound seemed to have form—as if it were alive. Each note pierced through all boundaries—time, space, and even the human soul.
Those marked by the Lamb raised their faces, while those who were not trembled.
Looking down, the earth began to move—not in a geographical sense, but in a spiritual one.
I saw two crowds forming.
On one side were the redeemed. They bore a mark. Their faces no longer showed the weariness of the past days, but shone brightly—as if touched by primordial light.
The angel lifted them up—not as if they were being pulled, but as if they were being invited.
They walked on light—each step as light as if they no longer belong to this world.
I saw them laughing—a laughter bursting forth, not from the relief of escaping death, but because they knew they were in the presence of the One they had always believed in.
They were being led towards a greater, more radiant source of light—surpassing even the sun.
I could not look directly at it, but my soul knew—that was the place of glory.
On the other side are those who were left behind.
Not everyone is crying out. Some stand still—barren, like a dry tree, as if they had never known life.
Others begin to scream—not from physical pain, but from a sorrow that transcends all words.
The pain of realization.
They made the wrong choice.
And at this moment, the abyss opens up—not a hole in the ground, but a vast crack where souls are drawn down—not by any hand, but by the very gravity of their sins.
A darkness denser than any other darkness consumes them.
With no voices left—only the echoes of despair.
I cry.
I can’t help but cry when I see them.
Many people I once knew—people I went to church with, people I read the Bible with, people I sang hymns with—but they have turned away from their faith. They have rejected the light.
I see someone screaming, trying to hold on to something—but it’s too late.
There is no trace left. There is no protection.
Only the abyss remains.
And then—the light returned.
Not a harsh light like summer sunshine, but a pure, refreshing light.
The sky gradually shifted to an unprecedented shade of blue. The sun rose—but it was not the sun of old days.
It was radiant, yet not blinding. It revived the trees. It made the earth feel cleansed.
But not everything returned to the way it was.
I saw many skyscrapers, commercial areas, and grand squares in ruins—desolate.
There were no sounds of cars, no honking. The world was silent—yet filled with hope.
I knew the population had significantly decreased. There weren’t many left—but those who remained carried a light within their hearts.
They looked at each other with humility—no longer competing, no longer arrogant.
Jesus spoke for the last time in the vision:
“This is the day of separation. The wheat is gathered into the barn while the chaff is burned away. I separate the sheep from the goats—as foretold. After these three days, light will return—a new dawn for those who belong to Me. The world will no longer be as it was, but the kingdom of heaven will draw closer to those with pure hearts.”
I knelt down, my heart overflowing.
This was the seventh vision—the final vision. Yet it was also the beginning of something new.
I’m still kneeling there.
In the light of the new dawn, everything around me has changed—from the sky to the earth to myself.
But what I can’t take my eyes off—what I can’t lift my head or say a word about—is that gaze.
The gaze of the Being I have always heard about. The One I’ve read countless pages of the Bible about. The One I’ve prayed to each night.
Yet I never dared to imagine I would see it so clearly.
Jesus turned to look at me.
He didn’t say anything at first. He just looked.
His eyes were unlike any eyes I had ever seen.
They were no longer the fiery eyes of judgment day or the all-seeing gaze in the cosmic vision.
At this moment, those eyes were filled with a profound sorrow—a sorrow beyond words—unlike the pain of humans, but rather the pain of One who loves to the very end yet is rejected.
A sorrow that comes from complete understanding—that He had done everything possible, had patiently waited, had shed blood for salvation—yet still, there are souls that turn away.
Still, there are doors locked from the inside.
But in those eyes, there is also hope.
A small ray of light—but enough to illuminate the entire space.
A glimmer of hope—not for perfection, but for repentance. Not for the strong, but for the humble who admit they have gone astray.
He spoke.
And that voice—I will never forget.
It was not as loud as a trumpet, not as majestic as before. Instead, it was gentle—penetrating, like a summer night’s breeze slipping through a slightly open door.
“Brian.”
He called my name with the voice of a father who never forgets his child—even when that child has wandered far away.
“You have seen these things will happen. For people’s hearts have grown cold, and the world has chosen its own path—but My mercy is boundless.”
I bowed my head, my chest tightening.
I wanted to say something—to apologize, to plead, to stay in that light forever—but my throat was constricted.
The Lord drew closer, and in the light He brought with Him, I saw images appear in my mind.
The evenings I watched the news while remaining indifferent.
The times I saw lost souls but merely shook my head and turned away.
The moments when I thought I had enough knowledge of God and no longer sought Him.
“You have one more chance.”
The Lord said:
“Return.”
I looked up.
For the first time in this vision, I longed to go back to the earthly realm.
Not because I feared death—but because I understood I still had work to do.
“Tell the world what you have seen and heard.”
The Lord continued, His gaze now soft yet as sharp as a double-edged sword.
“Not to spread unnecessary terror—but to awaken the souls who are still asleep. To call them to repent and return to Me before it is too late. Tell them that the door of salvation is still open—but time is running out.”
I can’t take it anymore.
I burst into tears.
I cry because I know I’ve been forgiven.
I cry because I understand I’m no longer living for myself.
I cry because I know You still love me—and You still love this world—even though the world has betrayed You countless times.
I crumble to the ground, holding my face like a child finally found after being lost in the deep forest.
Through my sobs, I feel a weight being placed on my shoulders.
But it’s not the weight of punishment.
It’s the weight of a mission.
A mission I cannot refuse.
“Lord,” I whispered through my sobs, “please use me—even though I am weak. Even though I am unworthy. But if my words can awaken just one person—then I am willing.”
God said nothing more.
But His gaze told me that the time had come.
It was time for me to return.
To live—but not as I did before.
To speak—but not with the reasoning of man—rather with fire from above.
To love—as He loved me first.
And I knew—time was running out.
Jesus said no more words.
He simply raised His hand and gently placed it on my forehead.
The warmth of His palm was supernaturally comforting—like the early winter sun warming cold, pale skin.
In that moment, I felt a gentle stream of light pouring through my entire being.
It was not a blinding light that instills fear—but a healing light, full of compassion and power.
It not only enveloped me—but seeped into every corner of my soul, gathering all the shattered pieces within me—even those I thought had long since decayed.
A second later, I felt myself starting to drift away from that place—not falling and not flying.
It was as if an invisible hand was gently pulling me down—through layers of dim light.
Each layer like a mist. Each one carrying the echoes of paradise—the sounds of singing, the sense and an indescribable sense of purity.
Then the light gradually faded.
I walked through a dim, dark layer—no longer seeing God, no longer seeing angels.
I could still clearly see myself—a naked soul—being drawn toward a widening gap.
And then I saw it.
The familiar world.
The earth—but not like before.
No more the golden light of the heavenly dawn.
Everything had turned gray—heavy.
I saw my wooden house—with its slanted roof and walls covered in old books.
I saw my body lying there.
And then—just like a jolt from a strong electric current—my soul was pulled right back into my body.
That moment was anything but pleasant.
From a place without time, without weight, without pain—I was now forcefully compressed back into my old, worn-out form.
Every vertebra, every muscle fiber, every breath felt like it was screaming in resistance.
I could hear my heart beating again—irregularly.
A sharp pain pierced through my chest.
My lungs seemed to forget how to breathe.
I wanted to rise up—but all I could do was weakly whimper.
Like a newborn thrown into an overwhelmingly vast world.
I open my eyes.
The white light from the ceiling lamp in the emergency room strikes my pupils like small, sharp blades.
It’s not the gentle light from where I just came.
This is surgical light.
The light of this world—bright and blinding, yet lifeless.
I blink several times, then slowly turn my head.
Everything is blurry—but the sounds start to become clearer.
The steady beeping of the heart monitor.
Hurried footsteps.
And someone calling my name.
“He’s awake! Oh my God—he’s awake!”
I see a man in a white coat leaning close to me. His eyes—a mix of astonishment and disbelief.
A nurse is holding my hand, checking my pulse.
Someone just rushed out of the room, calling loudly down the hallway.
But I can’t hear clearly anymore.
My body feels like it’s trapped in a heavy, cold, painful weight—but my mind is completely alert.
I know exactly where I am.
I know where I just came from.
And I know that I can’t not share it.
The doctor sat down, almost whispering—as if afraid to break the atmosphere.
“Mr. Mitchell, I’m Dr. Roman. You were clinically dead. No heartbeat, no breathing, no reflexes—14 minutes. We recorded the time. Nobody understands this.”
I looked at him, trying to move my lips—but no sound came out.
The doctor signaled the nurse to bring water, then leaned in closer.
I whispered:
“I… I saw… I met Him.”
The doctor momentarily flinched, then quickly regained his professional composure.
He nodded—said nothing further—but his gaze lingered on me as if weighing whether to believe or not.
In my heart, at that moment, every image remained vivid—as if it had just happened a few seconds ago.
The arm of Jesus resting on my forehead.
Layers of sacred light.
Warnings.
Beams of light and darkness.
Radiant angels.
And souls crying out.
I can’t forget His gaze—filled with compassion—when He said:
“You must tell the story.”
Not to spread fear—but to awaken.
I closed my eyes for a moment—not to rest, but to pray—whispering just between me and Him:
“Please… help me fulfill what You have entrusted to me.”
The nurse pulled the blanket up to my chest—gently, as if caring for someone who had just returned from another realm.
And in truth—that is exactly what happened.
I had left this world—crossing the boundary between life and death—witnessing things that not everyone is allowed to see.
And now—here I lie—surrounded by modern medical machines and the still-surprised faces of the hospital staff—carrying within me the memory of paradise and the visions of days to come.
My body hurts—but my spirit is on fire.
I know this is not just a second chance for me—but a final opportunity for many.
I am no longer Brian Mitchell as I once was.
I am someone who has died—and was called back to warn.
Three days after waking up, I was able to sit up.
Although I was still weak, my mind was completely clear.
The doctor said my recovery was beyond imagination.
But for me, the greater miracle was not that my heart started beating again—but that I was given the chance to return and speak.
And I began—as soon as I could.
The first person I recounted my experience to was the nurse on duty during that fateful shift.
She stood quietly, listening as I described the brilliant light, the trumpet sound from above, and the voice of the One I was certain was Jesus.
Her face briefly showed a hint of emotion—but it was quickly followed by a look of concern.
“Mr. Mitchell, you know—sometimes when the brain is deprived of oxygen, people can have very vivid hallucinations. It feels real, but it’s just brain chemistry.”
I don’t blame you.
I have also read similar scientific arguments.
But what I experienced goes far beyond any imagination or neurological disorder.
It wasn’t a dream.
It was a meeting.
I continued recounting my story to Dr. Roman, who had personally attended to my emergency.
He sat quietly, listening intently to the whole story—from the moment the door opened to the light, to the visions of wrath and mercy, and the final words of Christ.
Finally, he simply nodded and said:
“I have no medical reason to explain why you woke up—and I don’t have the authority to judge what you see. But if it makes you live better—stronger—then hold on to it, Mr. Mitchell. Keep it.”
No.
I’m not allowed to keep it for myself.
That night, my son took a midnight flight from Chicago to Vermont.
He nearly burst into the hospital room when he saw I was alive—tears streaming down his face, unable to wipe them away.
It was the first time in many years that my son and I held each other tightly—without saying a word.
“Dad… They said you were dead. Your heart stopped for 14 minutes. How is that possible?”
Dad knew.
I gently interrupted, looking into his eyes.
“Dad is gone. And I’ve seen many things—things I never believed were real in my entire life before.”
My son sat in silence.
I recounted everything—one by one—without holding back.
His expression shifted from shock to skepticism.
I understood—because I too wouldn’t have believed it before it happened.
In the days that followed—in the stark white hospital room—I continued to share my story with anyone willing to listen.
Another nurse. The janitor. Even a young pastor visiting patients on the same floor.
Each person had a different reaction.
Some were moved. Some were curious. Some skeptical. And a few even offered a gentle smile—as if to give me a sense of comfort.
I do not blame anyone.
Faith cannot be forced.
But I am not discouraged.
I know what I have seen is more real than this reality.
I have stood at the boundary between this temporary life and eternity.
I have heard the voice of the Creator.
I have been given a mission.
God did not tell me to convince anyone.
He only said: “Just tell.”
And I will continue to tell—whether anyone believes or not—because if just one soul hears and returns, then my resurrection is not in vain.
Finally, I want to say this:
I don’t know where you are reading or listening to these lines.
It could be in a quiet room beside a small nightlight—or amidst a chaotic, weary world.
But if you’ve come this far with me—if you followed my journey from a lonely man in the deep woods of Vermont to a witness called back from the dead—then please take a moment and listen.
Those three dark days I witnessed were not a meaningless annihilation.
It was a purification—a final opportunity given by the Holy One to humanity—not to punish, but to separate the light from the darkness, to test the faith, and to call on those who can still hear.
It was not an end—but rather a beginning—a new era for those who belong to Him.
I’m not writing these things to frighten you.
I’m not trying to paint horrifying images that make you bow your head in panic.
No.
I write with the sincerity of someone who has seen, who has heard, and who has been forgiven.
The message I bring back isn’t fear.
It’s hope.
Hope that—no matter how dark the world may seem—there’s still light waiting for you to return.
Time is running short.
No one knows when the trumpet will sound.
But as long as the door is still ajar, you can still step through.
If your heart is still in doubt—pray.
If your heart has seen the light—take a step forward.
If what you read here touches your soul—if something within you stirs softly—then don’t keep it to yourself.
Perhaps someone out there needs to hear these things.
Maybe you are the one chosen to spread the light again.
If your heart chooses the light—write “Amen,” as a commitment.
And if you truly believe this is real—share it.
Because someone is waiting.
And the door is still open.
—Brian Mitchell, who has died and lived again, who has seen and been sent, who is just a voice in the deep woods calling toward the light.
The Three VisionsVision 1: Thursday – The Day of Silence
My name is Brian Mitchell. I’m 68, and I live alone in a small cabin in Vermont. I taught American history for most of my life. I’ve read a lot about wars, disasters, and awakenings, but nothing prepared me for what I saw after I died.
Jesus said, “There are three days coming—Thursday, Friday, Saturday—each one will shake the earth in ways no man has seen.” And then He showed me three visions, each one more terrifying and more specific than the last. The final vision had to do with the silence before judgment and a choice every believer will have to make in that silence.
In today’s message, I’ll tell you exactly what He showed me and why the countdown has already begun.
If you feel a trembling inside, like your soul knows this is not just a story, then I ask you—don’t brush it off. Type “Amen” in the comments—not for me, but as a way of saying, “Lord, I hear You. I’m listening. Prepare my heart.” It means you are part of the ones He’s calling.
My wife, Clara, passed away nearly 15 years ago. It was a car accident while she was on her way to pick up our granddaughter from school. Strangely, on that fateful day, I had prayed in the morning—a simple prayer that God would keep everyone in the family safe. I’m not sure I still believe in Him after that day.
Since then, I still pray occasionally, but not because I’m expecting anything. It feels like an old habit—like drinking a cup of tea with no taste left. My son, Jonathan, moved to California after his mother died. He said he needed a fresh start—some new air, a new job. I understood. And so, I lived alone until the day everything changed.
I remember that night very clearly, as if it just happened yesterday. I was in the middle of reading about the fall of Rome when I felt a sharp pain in my chest. It wasn’t the kind of mild discomfort you can overlook. It felt like a huge stone was weighing down on me. Then someone plunged a cold knife straight into my heart.
I let the book fall. It thudded to the floor, wide open. The small crash sounded like thunder in that moment. I tried to stand up, reaching for the phone, but I couldn’t. My hands were trembling, and my legs felt completely weak. Sweat began to dampen my forehead. Even though the heater was still going steadily, I tried to call out, but my throat was choked. Not a single word could escape.
I collapsed, curled up on the cold wooden floor. The pale yellow light from the ceiling lamp blurred before my eyes. Everything spun around me. All I could feel was my ragged breath, my heart about to burst. Then it went cold—cold from the inside.
And then I thought of God—but not with the fearful reverence I had in the past. But with a quiet anger: “Are You there? Are You watching me?” I didn’t shout. I didn’t plead. I just asked in silence, like a forgotten child.
Death comes not as loudly as one might think. There’s no ringing of bells, no blinding light. It’s just that I gradually stopped hearing anything at all. The sound of the wind outside faded away. The crackling of the fire in the hearth grew silent. I lay still, watching the light on the ceiling blur in my eyes.
Then I felt nothing anymore. Just silence. A silence so profound that it made me feel as if I had never existed.
I don’t know exactly when I left. Everything just faded away. And then there was silence.
At first, I thought I was still lying there on the wooden floor in that old room. But when I opened my eyes—or at least felt like I did—I saw myself. My body lay still, unmoving, like a puppet with its strings cut—my cheek pressed against the floor, one hand still stretched out toward the phone I never reached for.
I hung above, looking down. No wings, no soothing music—just a very real silence. And I drifted in the midst of nothingness. I don’t feel afraid. Strange indeed. All burdens dissolve like mist.
I quietly gazed at my body one last time. Then darkness swept in. It wasn’t a frightening darkness—not cold or heavy—just a deep, vast, tranquil space, so quiet that I could hear even my deepest thoughts.
I didn’t know where I was floating or how long I had been drifting. Time there no longer existed as I once knew it. A second could feel like a lifetime, or a lifetime could pass like the blink of an eye.
Then the light appeared from afar—like a tiny star in the endless night. At first, I thought I was imagining it. But the light grew larger, clearer, warmer. It wasn’t blinding. It didn’t make me hesitate. It felt inviting, as if embracing me with a wordless love.
I don’t walk. I don’t fly. I am only being gently pulled toward it, peacefully, as if returning to where I truly belong.
The closer I get, the more I feel myself being cleansed. All the resentment, bitterness, and doubt fall away—layer by layer, like ash scattering in the wind.
I don’t know how long I’ve drifted in that light. As I said, time here no longer follows the old rules. It could be just a moment, or perhaps an eternity.
But then, little by little, that light faded away like morning dew, and I found myself standing on a land I couldn’t name. My body—or rather, my soul—is now filled with a pure energy. I can walk without any weight. Each step seems to dissolve into the earth, and the ground feels like it is uplifting me with an invisible love.
Something is waiting for me ahead. Someone divine. And as I take another step, I see Him in the distance—as if He has been standing there for eternity, just to wait for me to arrive.
As He drew closer, I recognized that face. Jesus. He didn’t need an introduction. No angels to announce Him. I just knew.
Then He spoke:
“Brian, My son.”
He called me son. Not the lost one. Not the hard-hearted. Not the old skeptic—but son.
“You have wandered too far. Your heart has hardened from worldly pains. But today, I call you here not to judge you, but to open your eyes—for an important moment is near.”
My friend, I don’t know what state of mind you are in when you read these lines. Maybe you are doubting, skeptical, like I used to doubt. Maybe you are in pain, depressed, feeling your life of faith as cold as ashes. If that is true, please comment “Amen.” Not because you are complete, but because you are also longing to see that gaze again—the gaze that knows everything but still loves—the gaze that once looked at me here in the field of light and called me “My child.”
He continued, this time with a more solemn tone—that didn’t lose its gentleness but carried a special weight:
“I will show you what is about to happen—not to instill fear, but for you to understand the urgency of love and redemption. The world is drowning in its own noise, forgetting My call.”
He paused for a moment, as if to let me catch my breath, to digest those words.
“Three days are coming. Three days—Thursday, Friday, and Saturday—will bring unprecedented changes to the earth. Three visions I am about to show you will correspond with those three days. And in the end, there will be a new dawn. But before the light shines bright, the darkness must pass.”
I shivered—not from fear, but because I knew I had been called to see, to understand, to tell.
I looked up at Him, whispering like a prayer: “I am ready.”
I vividly remember that moment. Even now, when I think back on it, I can’t measure time in that dimension. I stood beside Jesus—yet my feet no longer touched the ground. Or rather, I was no longer bound by the pull of the material world.
He didn’t say anything at that moment. He simply reached out His hand—and instantly, I found myself high above, looking down at Earth as if I were standing at the edge of the atmosphere.
It was a scene that was both majestic and overwhelming.
I saw the big cities—like a vibrant network of lights—millions of tiny beams intertwining, moving, shimmering like a heartbeat. Cars sped along the highway like bright threads, with advertising lights, skyscraper illuminations, the glow of screens, the shine of billboards—even flashes from satellites sweeping across the sky.
The earth shone brightly with the light created by human hands. It was beautiful—yet also full of arrogance.
And then—everything just went dark.
No explosion. No warning. Not a word of notice. It was like a giant switch had been flipped off, plunging the entire planet into darkness. Not the natural darkness that comes with sunset—but a chilling, hollow blackout.
I could see each city clearly—from New York, Tokyo, London, to peaceful countryside villages. All the lights went out.
In this place, phones have become useless. The internet has completely crashed. There are no radio signals, no sounds from TVs, and no familiar voices from newscasters or background music from online videos.
Trams are halted on the tracks. High-speed trains have come to a stop, and cars have stalled in the middle of the highway. Even the orbiting satellites seem to be paralyzed.
A massive silence has descended upon humanity.
I hear the screams—not with my ears, but with my soul. The cries erupting from chaotic airports, blackout hospitals, and train stations engulfed in darkness. Children wail. Adults curse. The elderly scream in terror.
On the busy streets, accidents occur in droves as the traffic control system fails. I see an airplane landing without a guiding light, plummeting into the woods. Some are buried under the rubble, while others run aimlessly, shouting for help. But no one can hear anyone. Each person trapped in their own crisis.
Not just the darkness outside—but a darkness within their hearts.
There are people going crazy. Looting begins to happen in the big cities—as lost individuals decide that order is dead and the law has no value. There are groups of people with guns storming into supermarkets, pharmacies, and gas stations.
But there are also those who choose to retreat.
I see an old woman lighting candles and trembling as she kneels in a small room, reading a worn Bible. I see a family in the countryside praying together, the candlelight flickering in the eyes of the children. I see a father carrying his little daughter on his shoulders, telling her that they will get through this if they trust in the One he used to hear about in his youth.
I choked up. I didn’t know if it was from grief or something greater.
While most of humanity screamed, a very few whispered. They whispered heartfelt prayers, long-forgotten repentances, invocations of the God they had forgotten in the hustle and bustle of life.
I turned to Jesus. He stood there silently. His gaze looked down at the earth—sad, but not hopeless.
His voice echoed without the need to move His lips:
“This is the day of silence. I will take away the idols of noise and distractions that humanity has worshiped. In this silence, some will begin to hear the whispers of their conscience—the call of Me they have long ignored. This is the first warning—a chance for them to turn back.”
I don’t know what you think, but I have lived in a world where the phone rings endlessly, news floods in without pause, and social media drowns out every genuine voice.
Yet there—in the absolute darkness and deep silence—I felt something that, as a history teacher my whole life, I had never taught.
Not every collapse is the end. Sometimes, it’s in the silence that the truest words can finally be heard.
Do you hear anything? Is there a whisper in your soul that you’ve ignored for too long?
If you’ve ever felt like you’ve strayed too far from the light, I urge you to stop and listen. If you still hold on to a faint glimmer of faith—even if it’s just a dying ember—pray. Light a spark of repentance.
Don’t wait until silence envelops you to recognize that call.
If you’re feeling something in your heart right now, leave an “Amen.” Not for me—but for yourself.
I thought I had witnessed the most terrifying thing during the vision on Thursday. But no—what happened on Friday was even more overwhelming.
If the first day was a shocking blow to humanity’s habits and dependence on technology and noise, then the second day was a struggle between darkness and light—between the choice of survival and the true nature of each individual.
I find myself standing in a vast place. It could be a plane. It could be the entire earth. I’m not sure.
I only know that the space suddenly becomes dense. The darkness is no longer just the absence of light, like a usual night. But it becomes tangible—thick, like a curtain tightly clinging to everything.
I can feel it—almost touch it—that cold, clammy darkness. And it feels alive. It is not without consciousness. It is a presence—a force.
And I realize it carries a scent. Not the scent of the earthly world—but the scent of despair, of primal fear, of the silent cries that humanity has tried to forget across countless generations.
From afar, the winds began to rise. Not a gentle breeze carrying the scent of earth or the saltiness of the sea—but a chilling wind, piercing to the bone, bringing with it whispers that sent shivers down my spine.
Though I couldn’t decipher the language, I understood—for it struck directly at my mind:
“It’s all meaningless.”
“No one is listening to you.”
“Surrender.”
Those words seeped into my spirit—not through my ears, but straight into my heart.
The wind swept through the city, the countryside, even the distant hills. I saw the trees bend as if bowing in fear.
In the sky, black mixed with red—like blood—long streaks cutting across like festering wounds. The swirling clouds churned like cauldrons filled with unspent rage.
And then I saw the people—thousands, millions of them—standing in front of my house, confused, scared, torn apart in their hearts.
They no longer knew what to believe in.
Some, overwhelmed by panic, opened their doors and rushed outside, hoping to find the truth in the darkness. I saw them—men, women, even children—running wildly, hands grasping at the air, eyes wide open.
But when those winds touched them, they weren’t just swept away like a leaf. They vanished. They melted—as if they had never existed, as if darkness consumed them from within.
Not just flesh and bone—but also their memories, their very last words. No one could call out their names anymore.
They disappeared like ashes scattered into a whirlwind of despair.
Some others—out of curiosity, out of arrogance, or because of a whisper in the wind saying “There’s something better out there. Go on. Leave.”—also stepped out.
They wanted to prove they were not afraid. They wanted to take control of their destiny.
But when they encountered that darkness, I saw their souls being torn apart. Not because their sins were too heavy—but because they had rejected the light when they had the chance.
They were pulled into the night of their own—just as the Lord had said.
And I understood—it was not a punishment from the outside, but the consequence from within themselves—from the very things they had nurtured and chosen throughout their lives.
But not everyone rushes out.
I was shown houses with their doors closed—not out of fear, but out of faith.
Inside, the small but warm candlelight illuminated the faces of those who were praying. They didn’t sing loudly, but each note rang out like a blessing.
I heard the words from Psalm 91:
“For He will command His angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways.”
They whispered. They cried. They held hands. But there was no panic among them. Instead, there was peace—a peace that surpasses all understanding.
Outside, the darkness is thick as ink. The wind howls and screams. But inside those houses, there is light—though small, it never goes out.
I see the angels—not like those in children’s picture books, but as radiant beings standing solemnly guard at the door.
The darkness cannot surpass them. It cannot enter where there are sincere prayers. It cannot break into the place of true repentance.
And I see myself—once a solitary soul in the woods, thinking I was strong, thinking I was good enough to not need redemption.
I see myself standing at a crossroads—and I shiver, not from the wind, but from the truth.
I once stepped outside—not with my feet, but with my heart. I had listened to those arrogant whispers: “You don’t need God. You’ve lived well enough.”
But as I stood there, seeing that divide clearer than any national border, I knew—the light and the darkness aren’t out there. But within every individual.
Jesus then spoke—His voice gentle, yet underscored by seriousness:
“This is the day of purging. As fire tests gold, so faith will be tested. Those without roots in Me—those who choose the path of selfishness and sin—will be swept away by darkness. But those who trust in Me—those who have built their house on rock—will be protected. This is not My punishment, but the natural consequence of the choices humanity has made.”
His voice echoed. And I knew—this was the moment when no one could stand in between.
It was either light or darkness. No more gray areas. No more neutrality.
Each person would have to live with the consequences of what they believe and what they choose.
If you’re reading this and still feel a stir in your heart, please don’t stay silent any longer.
If you’re living in a noisy world yet feel empty inside, kneel down and whisper a prayer.
You are not alone—but you can’t wait any longer.
Time is running out.
God spoke to me about the Saturday that no one knows about.
There were no birds singing, no light streaming through the cracks of the door, and no gentle breeze caressing the branches. The entire sky seemed to still be asleep in the darkness of the previous day.
But strangely, there were no more howls, no more wild whirlwinds, or the sorrowful moans echoing from afar.
Everything was submerged in a profound silence—but not a frightening silence. Rather, it was a sacred stillness—as if the entire universe was holding its breath before something truly monumental.
I see myself standing in the middle of an old road, flickering with light.
The simple houses—their doors still tightly shut like yesterday. But inside, something has changed.
I see people no longer anxious, no longer trembling, no longer asking, “When will it end?”
They kneel. They sing softly. They whisper through tears—not tears of fear, but tears of gratitude.
A profound peace radiates from the small rooms, seeping into every corner of the soul.
I have never seen such a sacred silence. A silence—not because everything has stopped—but because the hearts of humans have found calm.
I turned to the side and saw the angels. This time, they were no longer just appearing as in previous visions. It was no longer a vague feeling or fleeting shadows.
They stood out—radiant and majestic. Their eyes were like fire, yet they did not burn. The light from them was not blinding, but gentle—like the morning sun in autumn, spreading a sense of safety and awe.
They went from house to house—rather, to the houses that stood firm in the dark—and they carried a kind of divine light.
They raised their hands, marking a sign on the door—like the ancients who spread blood over the doorframe on the night of the Passover.
But this time, the mark emitted a glow—a colorless light, yet it seeped deep into the soul.
Then they placed their hands on the foreheads of each person—those who had held on to their faith, who had not forsaken the light in the darkest days.
And a seal appeared—clear, holy, eternal—the seal of the Lamb.
When the angel touched them, I saw a stream of light pouring down from the heavens, flooding over them like sweet nectar from paradise.
Some cried. Some fell flat on the ground. And others stood frozen, as if enveloped by the presence of something beyond understanding.
I saw them as if brought back to life—not in body, but in spirit.
The burdens, fears, and wounds within their hearts seemed to vanish. They were restored.
Angels do not merely bear a mark. They carry something akin to sustenance—not the ordinary bread or spring water we’re used to.
It is manna.
I don’t know how else to describe it. Something radiant—yet given in portions. When someone eats it, their face lights up. Their eyes glimmer with hope.
I heard a person whisper: “It’s sweeter than honey.” And reminds you of Him.
The water is also given—crystal clear, as if it flows from an eternal source. Whoever drinks it feels as if they are cleansed from the inside out.
No more hunger. No more thirst. No more lack. Only the fullness of the divine remains.
I thought that was everything—until the trumpet sounded.
It was unlike any sound I had ever heard. No orchestra, no earthly instrument could produce it.
The trumpet from heaven resonated—majestic and powerful—shaking the earth and opening the hearts of people.
The sound seemed to have form—as if it were alive. Each note pierced through all boundaries—time, space, and even the human soul.
Those marked by the Lamb raised their faces, while those who were not trembled.
Looking down, the earth began to move—not in a geographical sense, but in a spiritual one.
I saw two crowds forming.
On one side were the redeemed. They bore a mark. Their faces no longer showed the weariness of the past days, but shone brightly—as if touched by primordial light.
The angel lifted them up—not as if they were being pulled, but as if they were being invited.
They walked on light—each step as light as if they no longer belong to this world.
I saw them laughing—a laughter bursting forth, not from the relief of escaping death, but because they knew they were in the presence of the One they had always believed in.
They were being led towards a greater, more radiant source of light—surpassing even the sun.
I could not look directly at it, but my soul knew—that was the place of glory.
On the other side are those who were left behind.
Not everyone is crying out. Some stand still—barren, like a dry tree, as if they had never known life.
Others begin to scream—not from physical pain, but from a sorrow that transcends all words.
The pain of realization.
They made the wrong choice.
And at this moment, the abyss opens up—not a hole in the ground, but a vast crack where souls are drawn down—not by any hand, but by the very gravity of their sins.
A darkness denser than any other darkness consumes them.
With no voices left—only the echoes of despair.
I cry.
I can’t help but cry when I see them.
Many people I once knew—people I went to church with, people I read the Bible with, people I sang hymns with—but they have turned away from their faith. They have rejected the light.
I see someone screaming, trying to hold on to something—but it’s too late.
There is no trace left. There is no protection.
Only the abyss remains.
And then—the light returned.
Not a harsh light like summer sunshine, but a pure, refreshing light.
The sky gradually shifted to an unprecedented shade of blue. The sun rose—but it was not the sun of old days.
It was radiant, yet not blinding. It revived the trees. It made the earth feel cleansed.
But not everything returned to the way it was.
I saw many skyscrapers, commercial areas, and grand squares in ruins—desolate.
There were no sounds of cars, no honking. The world was silent—yet filled with hope.
I knew the population had significantly decreased. There weren’t many left—but those who remained carried a light within their hearts.
They looked at each other with humility—no longer competing, no longer arrogant.
Jesus spoke for the last time in the vision:
“This is the day of separation. The wheat is gathered into the barn while the chaff is burned away. I separate the sheep from the goats—as foretold. After these three days, light will return—a new dawn for those who belong to Me. The world will no longer be as it was, but the kingdom of heaven will draw closer to those with pure hearts.”
I knelt down, my heart overflowing.
This was the seventh vision—the final vision. Yet it was also the beginning of something new.
I’m still kneeling there.
In the light of the new dawn, everything around me has changed—from the sky to the earth to myself.
But what I can’t take my eyes off—what I can’t lift my head or say a word about—is that gaze.
The gaze of the Being I have always heard about. The One I’ve read countless pages of the Bible about. The One I’ve prayed to each night.
Yet I never dared to imagine I would see it so clearly.
Jesus turned to look at me.
He didn’t say anything at first. He just looked.
His eyes were unlike any eyes I had ever seen.
They were no longer the fiery eyes of judgment day or the all-seeing gaze in the cosmic vision.
At this moment, those eyes were filled with a profound sorrow—a sorrow beyond words—unlike the pain of humans, but rather the pain of One who loves to the very end yet is rejected.
A sorrow that comes from complete understanding—that He had done everything possible, had patiently waited, had shed blood for salvation—yet still, there are souls that turn away.
Still, there are doors locked from the inside.
But in those eyes, there is also hope.
A small ray of light—but enough to illuminate the entire space.
A glimmer of hope—not for perfection, but for repentance. Not for the strong, but for the humble who admit they have gone astray.
He spoke.
And that voice—I will never forget.
It was not as loud as a trumpet, not as majestic as before. Instead, it was gentle—penetrating, like a summer night’s breeze slipping through a slightly open door.
“Brian.”
He called my name with the voice of a father who never forgets his child—even when that child has wandered far away.
“You have seen these things will happen. For people’s hearts have grown cold, and the world has chosen its own path—but My mercy is boundless.”
I bowed my head, my chest tightening.
I wanted to say something—to apologize, to plead, to stay in that light forever—but my throat was constricted.
The Lord drew closer, and in the light He brought with Him, I saw images appear in my mind.
The evenings I watched the news while remaining indifferent.
The times I saw lost souls but merely shook my head and turned away.
The moments when I thought I had enough knowledge of God and no longer sought Him.
“You have one more chance.”
The Lord said:
“Return.”
I looked up.
For the first time in this vision, I longed to go back to the earthly realm.
Not because I feared death—but because I understood I still had work to do.
“Tell the world what you have seen and heard.”
The Lord continued, His gaze now soft yet as sharp as a double-edged sword.
“Not to spread unnecessary terror—but to awaken the souls who are still asleep. To call them to repent and return to Me before it is too late. Tell them that the door of salvation is still open—but time is running out.”
I can’t take it anymore.
I burst into tears.
I cry because I know I’ve been forgiven.
I cry because I understand I’m no longer living for myself.
I cry because I know You still love me—and You still love this world—even though the world has betrayed You countless times.
I crumble to the ground, holding my face like a child finally found after being lost in the deep forest.
Through my sobs, I feel a weight being placed on my shoulders.
But it’s not the weight of punishment.
It’s the weight of a mission.
A mission I cannot refuse.
“Lord,” I whispered through my sobs, “please use me—even though I am weak. Even though I am unworthy. But if my words can awaken just one person—then I am willing.”
God said nothing more.
But His gaze told me that the time had come.
It was time for me to return.
To live—but not as I did before.
To speak—but not with the reasoning of man—rather with fire from above.
To love—as He loved me first.
And I knew—time was running out.
Jesus said no more words.
He simply raised His hand and gently placed it on my forehead.
The warmth of His palm was supernaturally comforting—like the early winter sun warming cold, pale skin.
In that moment, I felt a gentle stream of light pouring through my entire being.
It was not a blinding light that instills fear—but a healing light, full of compassion and power.
It not only enveloped me—but seeped into every corner of my soul, gathering all the shattered pieces within me—even those I thought had long since decayed.
A second later, I felt myself starting to drift away from that place—not falling and not flying.
It was as if an invisible hand was gently pulling me down—through layers of dim light.
Each layer like a mist. Each one carrying the echoes of paradise—the sounds of singing, the sense and an indescribable sense of purity.
Then the light gradually faded.
I walked through a dim, dark layer—no longer seeing God, no longer seeing angels.
I could still clearly see myself—a naked soul—being drawn toward a widening gap.
And then I saw it.
The familiar world.
The earth—but not like before.
No more the golden light of the heavenly dawn.
Everything had turned gray—heavy.
I saw my wooden house—with its slanted roof and walls covered in old books.
I saw my body lying there.
And then—just like a jolt from a strong electric current—my soul was pulled right back into my body.
That moment was anything but pleasant.
From a place without time, without weight, without pain—I was now forcefully compressed back into my old, worn-out form.
Every vertebra, every muscle fiber, every breath felt like it was screaming in resistance.
I could hear my heart beating again—irregularly.
A sharp pain pierced through my chest.
My lungs seemed to forget how to breathe.
I wanted to rise up—but all I could do was weakly whimper.
Like a newborn thrown into an overwhelmingly vast world.
I open my eyes.
The white light from the ceiling lamp in the emergency room strikes my pupils like small, sharp blades.
It’s not the gentle light from where I just came.
This is surgical light.
The light of this world—bright and blinding, yet lifeless.
I blink several times, then slowly turn my head.
Everything is blurry—but the sounds start to become clearer.
The steady beeping of the heart monitor.
Hurried footsteps.
And someone calling my name.
“He’s awake! Oh my God—he’s awake!”
I see a man in a white coat leaning close to me. His eyes—a mix of astonishment and disbelief.
A nurse is holding my hand, checking my pulse.
Someone just rushed out of the room, calling loudly down the hallway.
But I can’t hear clearly anymore.
My body feels like it’s trapped in a heavy, cold, painful weight—but my mind is completely alert.
I know exactly where I am.
I know where I just came from.
And I know that I can’t not share it.
The doctor sat down, almost whispering—as if afraid to break the atmosphere.
“Mr. Mitchell, I’m Dr. Roman. You were clinically dead. No heartbeat, no breathing, no reflexes—14 minutes. We recorded the time. Nobody understands this.”
I looked at him, trying to move my lips—but no sound came out.
The doctor signaled the nurse to bring water, then leaned in closer.
I whispered:
“I… I saw… I met Him.”
The doctor momentarily flinched, then quickly regained his professional composure.
He nodded—said nothing further—but his gaze lingered on me as if weighing whether to believe or not.
In my heart, at that moment, every image remained vivid—as if it had just happened a few seconds ago.
The arm of Jesus resting on my forehead.
Layers of sacred light.
Warnings.
Beams of light and darkness.
Radiant angels.
And souls crying out.
I can’t forget His gaze—filled with compassion—when He said:
“You must tell the story.”
Not to spread fear—but to awaken.
I closed my eyes for a moment—not to rest, but to pray—whispering just between me and Him:
“Please… help me fulfill what You have entrusted to me.”
The nurse pulled the blanket up to my chest—gently, as if caring for someone who had just returned from another realm.
And in truth—that is exactly what happened.
I had left this world—crossing the boundary between life and death—witnessing things that not everyone is allowed to see.
And now—here I lie—surrounded by modern medical machines and the still-surprised faces of the hospital staff—carrying within me the memory of paradise and the visions of days to come.
My body hurts—but my spirit is on fire.
I know this is not just a second chance for me—but a final opportunity for many.
I am no longer Brian Mitchell as I once was.
I am someone who has died—and was called back to warn.
Three days after waking up, I was able to sit up.
Although I was still weak, my mind was completely clear.
The doctor said my recovery was beyond imagination.
But for me, the greater miracle was not that my heart started beating again—but that I was given the chance to return and speak.
And I began—as soon as I could.
The first person I recounted my experience to was the nurse on duty during that fateful shift.
She stood quietly, listening as I described the brilliant light, the trumpet sound from above, and the voice of the One I was certain was Jesus.
Her face briefly showed a hint of emotion—but it was quickly followed by a look of concern.
“Mr. Mitchell, you know—sometimes when the brain is deprived of oxygen, people can have very vivid hallucinations. It feels real, but it’s just brain chemistry.”
I don’t blame you.
I have also read similar scientific arguments.
But what I experienced goes far beyond any imagination or neurological disorder.
It wasn’t a dream.
It was a meeting.
I continued recounting my story to Dr. Roman, who had personally attended to my emergency.
He sat quietly, listening intently to the whole story—from the moment the door opened to the light, to the visions of wrath and mercy, and the final words of Christ.
Finally, he simply nodded and said:
“I have no medical reason to explain why you woke up—and I don’t have the authority to judge what you see. But if it makes you live better—stronger—then hold on to it, Mr. Mitchell. Keep it.”
No.
I’m not allowed to keep it for myself.
That night, my son took a midnight flight from Chicago to Vermont.
He nearly burst into the hospital room when he saw I was alive—tears streaming down his face, unable to wipe them away.
It was the first time in many years that my son and I held each other tightly—without saying a word.
“Dad… They said you were dead. Your heart stopped for 14 minutes. How is that possible?”
Dad knew.
I gently interrupted, looking into his eyes.
“Dad is gone. And I’ve seen many things—things I never believed were real in my entire life before.”
My son sat in silence.
I recounted everything—one by one—without holding back.
His expression shifted from shock to skepticism.
I understood—because I too wouldn’t have believed it before it happened.
In the days that followed—in the stark white hospital room—I continued to share my story with anyone willing to listen.
Another nurse. The janitor. Even a young pastor visiting patients on the same floor.
Each person had a different reaction.
Some were moved. Some were curious. Some skeptical. And a few even offered a gentle smile—as if to give me a sense of comfort.
I do not blame anyone.
Faith cannot be forced.
But I am not discouraged.
I know what I have seen is more real than this reality.
I have stood at the boundary between this temporary life and eternity.
I have heard the voice of the Creator.
I have been given a mission.
God did not tell me to convince anyone.
He only said: “Just tell.”
And I will continue to tell—whether anyone believes or not—because if just one soul hears and returns, then my resurrection is not in vain.
Finally, I want to say this:
I don’t know where you are reading or listening to these lines.
It could be in a quiet room beside a small nightlight—or amidst a chaotic, weary world.
But if you’ve come this far with me—if you followed my journey from a lonely man in the deep woods of Vermont to a witness called back from the dead—then please take a moment and listen.
Those three dark days I witnessed were not a meaningless annihilation.
It was a purification—a final opportunity given by the Holy One to humanity—not to punish, but to separate the light from the darkness, to test the faith, and to call on those who can still hear.
It was not an end—but rather a beginning—a new era for those who belong to Him.
I’m not writing these things to frighten you.
I’m not trying to paint horrifying images that make you bow your head in panic.
No.
I write with the sincerity of someone who has seen, who has heard, and who has been forgiven.
The message I bring back isn’t fear.
It’s hope.
Hope that—no matter how dark the world may seem—there’s still light waiting for you to return.
Time is running short.
No one knows when the trumpet will sound.
But as long as the door is still ajar, you can still step through.
If your heart is still in doubt—pray.
If your heart has seen the light—take a step forward.
If what you read here touches your soul—if something within you stirs softly—then don’t keep it to yourself.
Perhaps someone out there needs to hear these things.
Maybe you are the one chosen to spread the light again.
If your heart chooses the light—write “Amen,” as a commitment.
And if you truly believe this is real—share it.
Because someone is waiting.
And the door is still open.
—Brian Mitchell, who has died and lived again, who has seen and been sent, who is just a voice in the deep woods calling toward the light.
The Three VisionsVision 1: Thursday – The Day of Silence
- Global blackout: All technology fails—electricity, internet, vehicles, satellites. The world plunges into unnatural darkness.
- Chaos: Society collapses—looting, panic, accidents (e.g., planes crashing). People scream in terror.
- A remnant responds: Some pray, light candles, and turn to God. Jesus explains this is a warning to "take away idols of noise" so people hear His call.
- Tangible darkness: A malevolent force emerges—wind carries whispers of despair (“No one hears you”).
- The choice:
- Those who step outside or reject God are consumed by darkness, vanishing without a trace.
- Those who stay indoors in faith are protected by angels. Peace fills their homes despite the chaos outside.
- Those who step outside or reject God are consumed by darkness, vanishing without a trace.
- Jesus declares this is a separation: “Faith is tested like gold by fire.”
- Divine intervention: Angels mark the faithful with the “seal of the Lamb” and provide heavenly manna and water.
- The trumpet sounds: A supernatural call divides humanity:
- The redeemed: Glorified, lifted into light, joyful in God’s presence.
- The lost: Drawn into an abyss by their own sin, screaming in realization of their rejection of God.
- The redeemed: Glorified, lifted into light, joyful in God’s presence.
- New dawn: The earth is restored, but fewer remain. A purified era begins for those who chose God.
Hi, my name is Emily Grant, and I'm here to share a story that completely changed my life forever. What happened to me was so unexpected, so beyond anything I could have imagined, that it still leaves me in awe. I truly believe that what I experienced wasn't just for me—it was meant to be shared to bring hope and understanding to others. It was a Tuesday evening in October, and everything about that night felt completely normal. I had just come home from a long day working as a teacher at Riverside Elementary. After dinner, I settled into my favorite spot on the couch, wrapping myself in the quilt my grandmother made years ago. My cat, Daisy, was curled up beside me, purring softly. The house was quiet—the kind of quiet that's comforting after a busy day. The only sound was the faint dialogue from a crime drama I'd been binge-watching. It was my way of unwinding, a little escape from the stress of work and the endless to-do lists that seemed to pile up. At around 9:30 p.m., I felt an odd tightness in my chest. At first, I thought maybe it was just anxiety. Work had been overwhelming lately, and I figured it was just another stress response. I tried to brush it off, telling myself to breathe and relax. But within seconds, the discomfort became something else—something much worse. The pain grew sharp and crushing, unlike anything I'd ever felt before. The remote slipped out of my hand, clattering onto the floor. I tried to stand up, thinking maybe I could shake it off, but my legs gave out beneath me. The last thing I remember was Daisy leaping off the couch and the room starting to spin around me. Then—nothing.
For 13 minutes and 42 seconds, I was clinically dead—at least, that's what the doctors would later tell me. But what I experienced in those minutes felt like an eternity. It was unlike anything I'd ever imagined or could have prepared for. The moment my heart stopped, everything changed. It wasn't like falling asleep or blacking out—it was instantaneous. One second, I was in my living room, surrounded by the familiar sights and sounds of home, and the next, I was somewhere else. The first thing I noticed was the absence of pain. All the crushing discomfort in my chest vanished. It was like I'd shed a heavy burden I didn't even know I was carrying. I felt weightless, almost as though I were floating—but I wasn't in my body anymore. When I opened my eyes, I realized they weren't physical eyes, but my awareness was sharper than it had ever been. I found myself in what I can only describe as a space between spaces. It wasn't dark, but it wasn't light either. It was a realm where earthly concepts like color, air, and sound didn't apply in the same way. The air around me felt alive, as though it were humming with energy and presence. I could sense something—someone—with me.
It was then that I heard my name. "Emily," the voice said.
It wasn't loud or startling, but it carried authority and love unlike anything I'd ever experienced. It resonated through me as though it was speaking directly to my soul. When I turned toward the voice, I saw Him. I didn't need an introduction—I knew instantly it was Jesus. He didn't look like the paintings or depictions we see on Earth, but His presence was undeniable. His eyes carried the weight of eternity, filled with both infinite tenderness and a depth that made me feel completely known. It was as if He could see every thought, every flaw, every hidden part of me—yet loved me completely. "Emily," He said again, His voice filled with kindness and urgency, "I've brought you here because there is something you need to see. Time is short, and My people must be ready." Before I could respond, the space around us began to shift. It was like the world melted away, and we were suddenly standing in a vast expanse that looked like an observation room. Around us were what seemed to be countless screens or windows, each showing different parts of the Earth. "These aren't just moments happening now," Jesus said. "They are also what is to come. Watch carefully." I was overwhelmed but couldn't look away. Each screen seemed to show events unfolding—not just physically, but spiritually. I could see the hearts of people, their thoughts and intentions laid bare. It was as if I were being given a glimpse of Earth from God's perspective. "Everything you are about to see," Jesus continued, "will happen in the 30 days leading up to My return. It is important that My people understand what is coming so they will not be afraid and will know what to do."
The first thing Jesus showed me was the sun—but it wasn't the sun as we know it. It was pulsing with an unusual energy, waves of light and heat that seemed to ripple across the universe. The sight was mesmerizing but also unsettling.
Jesus explained, "On the 30th day before My return, the sun will begin to emit signals that your scientists cannot explain. These will not be ordinary solar flares or phenomena. They will be signs that something far greater is happening."
As I watched, the sun's energy reached Earth, creating breathtaking auroras across the entire planet. The skies came alive with colors I had never seen before—brilliant shades of gold, violet, and deep crimson that seemed to dance and shimmer in unison. Even the equator, where auroras are unheard of, was illuminated by this extraordinary display.
Jesus continued, "These signs will be impossible to ignore. People will look to science for answers, but in their hearts, they will know this is no ordinary event. It is a cosmic announcement—a wake-up call to humanity."
I saw people gathered in cities, staring up at the skies in awe and fear. Some fell to their knees in prayer, recognizing the spiritual significance, while others dismissed it as a rare but explainable phenomenon. Yet everyone knew, deep down, that something unprecedented was beginning.
Next, Jesus showed me the 25th day before His return. This time, I saw something even more extraordinary—a spiritual veil being lifted from the world. "I am giving humanity one final chance to see the truth," Jesus said. "In these days, many who have resisted Me will have their eyes opened." I watched as people around the globe began to experience profound spiritual awareness. It was as though they could suddenly perceive the unseen realms that had always been around them. For some, this brought incredible clarity and joy. For others, it was terrifying. I saw ordinary people falling to their knees, praying for the first time in years. I watched as skeptics and atheists encountered undeniable evidence of God's reality—dreams, visions, and moments of overwhelming conviction. Jesus explained, "In these days, I will pour out My Spirit on all people—young and old, believers and unbelievers. But not everyone will interpret these experiences correctly. Some will embrace the truth with open hearts, while others will harden their hearts further."
On the 20th day, I saw something that sent a chill through me—a powerful deception began sweeping across the Earth, subtle yet dangerous. Jesus said, "This will be one of the greatest tests for My people. The deception will not appear evil—it will seem beautiful, even hopeful. It will promise peace, unity, and solutions to the world's problems, but it will lead many away from the truth." I watched as charismatic leaders emerged, speaking with eloquence and passion. They promised to solve humanity's greatest issues—poverty, climate change, inequality—but their solutions were rooted in human wisdom, not divine truth. Crowds followed them eagerly, praising their ideas and uniting under their banner. But as I looked closer, I saw that their message lacked one crucial element: repentance. There was no mention of sin, no acknowledgment of humanity's need for salvation through Christ. "This deception," Jesus warned, "will be so convincing that even some of My faithful will struggle to discern the truth. It will require great wisdom and a deep relationship with Me to recognize what is of God and what is not."
As the vision continued, the atmosphere around the Earth seemed to change. It was as though the very air became charged with spiritual energy. "In these days," Jesus said, "I will reach out to humanity in ways they cannot deny. Dreams, visions, and angelic encounters will be common, crossing all boundaries of religion and culture."
I watched as people of every nation began experiencing divine encounters. Some saw angels delivering messages of warning and hope. Others had vivid dreams of judgment and redemption. Even those who had never believed in God found themselves confronted with His presence. But not everyone embraced these experiences. I saw people twisting their meanings to fit their own beliefs or rejecting them outright. Still, Jesus was giving everyone a chance—a final opportunity to turn to Him.
As the vision continued, Jesus showed me the events of the 10th day before His return. What I saw was both heart-wrenching and awe-inspiring. I watched as a great spiritual divide began to form. It wasn't a physical separation, but it was visible in the way people treated each other and the decisions they made.
People who had attended church together for years suddenly found themselves on opposite sides of this divide. Families were torn apart, friendships tested, and communities fractured.
This separation, Jesus explained, "will not be based on denominations, traditions, or theology. It will be based on the condition of hearts. Those who truly know Me will be drawn closer together in unity, while others will be drawn away by deception."
I could see it so clearly. Those who had a genuine relationship with Christ radiated love, peace, and unwavering faith, even as the world around them grew darker. On the other hand, those who had only a surface-level connection to faith—those who relied on rituals or appearances—began to align with the growing deception I had seen earlier.
The pain of this separation was evident. Families argued, churches split, and lifelong friendships were strained. But among those who remained faithful, there was an incredible sense of unity and purpose. They came together across cultural, social, and denominational lines, united by their love for Christ.
On the seventh day, I saw something so beautiful it brought me to tears—a wave of supernatural love swept across the faithful. People who had been enemies for years were reconciling. Old wounds that had caused decades of bitterness were being healed.
"This," Jesus said, "will be one of the greatest testimonies to the world in these final days. When My people demonstrate love and forgiveness in the face of growing darkness, many will be drawn to the light of My truth."
I watched as communities were transformed. Churches that had competed with or criticized each other for years came together in humble repentance and unity. People who had held onto grudges for decades suddenly found the strength to forgive. Even those outside the church took notice. The world watched in awe as Christians exhibited a love that could only come from God.
This supernatural love was a powerful testimony, drawing countless people to seek the source of such forgiveness and unity.
As the vision moved to the fifth day, I saw the world begin to tremble—both spiritually and physically. Systems that people had placed their trust in—economic, political, and social—began to crumble.
Jesus explained, "This shaking will reveal what is built on truth and what is built on sand. Many who thought they were spiritually secure will discover their foundation was weak, while those who seemed insignificant in the world's eyes will stand strong because they are built on Me."
I saw people scrambling as their wealth, power, and influence slipped away. Those who had placed their faith in worldly systems were left in despair. But among the faithful, there was a quiet confidence. They were not shaken because their trust was in Christ, not in the things of this world.
This time of testing wasn't just about hardship—it was about revealing the true foundations of people's lives. It was clear that only those with a deep personal relationship with God could withstand the storm.
The vision shifted again, and what I saw next filled me with awe. On the third day before His return, the glory of God began to manifest in a tangible way among His people. I saw believers walking in the power of the Holy Spirit like never before. They carried His presence with them everywhere they went, and it affected the physical world around them.
The sick were healed, the oppressed were delivered, and the lost were saved—not through elaborate programs or performances, but through simple acts of obedience and faith.
Jesus said, "In these days, My glory will shine through My people in a way that has not been seen since the early church. Signs and wonders will follow them—not because they seek these things, but because they are a natural outflow of My presence in their lives."
What struck me most was the humility of these believers. They didn't take credit for the miracles. Every healing, every deliverance, every act of power pointed back to Jesus. The world could see that this wasn't about human ability—it was the hand of God moving through His people.
Then Jesus showed me the final day before His return. It was unlike anything I had ever imagined. A spiritual light began to dawn across the Earth—not a physical light, but a profound illumination that touched every corner of the world. It was as if the entire planet was being prepared for the arrival of the King.
I saw people from every nation, tribe, and tongue sensing the presence of God. Some embraced it with joy and anticipation, while others rejected it in fear and anger.
Jesus looked at me with a tenderness I will never forget and said, "This is the final call. My people must be ready."
Just as suddenly as the vision began, I felt myself being drawn back. The overwhelming sense of peace, the tangible presence of Jesus, the vivid images of what was to come—all of it began to fade. The next thing I knew, I was waking up in a hospital bed. Machines were beeping around me, and a nurse was holding my hand. I later learned that I had been clinically dead for over 13 minutes. The doctors called my recovery a miracle, but I knew the true miracle was what I had seen and experienced during those moments. Since that day, I've never been the same. How could I be? I had been shown the truth about what is coming—the urgency of preparing our hearts and the incredible love God has for every single one of us.
Jesus made it clear: This isn't a message of fear—it's a message of hope. His return is not something to dread but something to anticipate with joy. But He also emphasized the importance of being ready—of building our lives on a firm foundation of faith, love, and truth.
If there's one thing I want you to take away from my story, it's this: God loves you, and He is calling you to be part of His plan. Don't wait for the perfect moment or think you need to have everything figured out before turning to Him. The time to prepare is now. Ask yourself: Where is your heart? Is your faith built on tradition, or is it rooted in a personal relationship with Jesus? Are you ready to stand firm in the truth, even when the world around you begins to shake?
I believe that everything I saw was not just for me but for all of us. It's a reminder that we are living in a critical time and that each of us has a role to play in God's story. If my story has resonated with you, I encourage you to take a moment to reflect and pray. Seek God's presence, ask Him to prepare your heart, and trust that He will guide you.

The doctors called my recovery a miracle, but I knew the true miracle was what I had seen and experienced during those moments. Since that day, I've never been the same. How could I be? I had been shown the truth about what is coming—the urgency of preparing our hearts and the incredible love God has for every single one of us.
Jesus made it clear: This isn't a message of fear—it's a message of hope. His return is not something to dread but something to anticipate with joy. But He also emphasized the importance of being ready—of building our lives on a firm foundation of faith, love, and truth.
If there's one thing I want you to take away from my story, it's this: God loves you, and He is calling you to be part of His plan. Don't wait for the perfect moment or think you need to have everything figured out before turning to Him. The time to prepare is now. Ask yourself: Where is your heart? Is your faith built on tradition, or is it rooted in a personal relationship with Jesus? Are you ready to stand firm in the truth, even when the world around you begins to shake?
I believe that everything I saw was not just for me but for all of us. It's a reminder that we are living in a critical time and that each of us has a role to play in God's story. If my story has resonated with you, I encourage you to take a moment to reflect and pray. Seek God's presence, ask Him to prepare your heart, and trust that He will guide you.

IN ONE HOUR THE AMERICAN ECONOMY WILL FALL
4/19/25 6:55 PM Alison Pound
On April 10 in the morning, the Lord began speaking to me. He said: These are very serious times. These are not times for foolish games, foolish thinking. America is right on the brink. Very sudden and complete economic crash is right at the door. The Lord said to me: This is not a time to be planning trips to Europe. Your family should be planning how they are going to survive. They should be coming to Me for strategy. ( Some of my family have begun planning a trip to Europe in the next couple of years).
On the 9th of April, the day before the Lord spoke these things, I had a call from my daughter asking for prayers for my granddaughter. She had fallen out of a tree. She is nine yrs old. When she fell, she was completely winded. The breath was knocked out of her to the extent that she could not move or draw breath for long moments. The Lord said to me: This is a picture of what the economic crash will do – this is the effect it will have on the people. All the wind will be knocked out of them. They will wonder if they will breath again.
The Lord went on to say – this is what Australia will experience ( when America’s economy crashes): At first, all you will hear is what has hit America. All over the news, 24/7. In ONE HOUR OF ONE DAY it will hit America. Very sudden collapse. Complete panic and fear. Doors shut on all big business. High rise buildings (big business), all staff pushed out and doors shut. Wall street pandemonium will be televised. Then nothing. There will not be any announcement from the President. There will be a silence. After one hour, pay attention dear one, after one hour, Australia and other parts of the world will begin to react and governments will act accordingly. All trade will cease. ALL trade will cease. For 24 hours there will be no trade AT ALL on the stock exchange. NOTHING. Such is the shock the world will feel. In Australia, the lives of the middle to lower class of people will continue, businesses will open their doors and continue to sell goods and services. They will do it with eyes glued to their televisions and phones. There will be ONE WEEK of this. And then they will be addressed by the government, the Prime Minister. Yes, you heard me correctly. It will be one whole week before your Prime Minister addresses the nation. You will be told that govt. leaders are behind closed doors talking. Their meetings will last a week. Then you will be told that the world has changed forever. That the world can no longer operate in business/trade as before. A New World Order will be put in place, for the benefit of the people – this is what you will be told. This has been planned for a long time, many years. But it will take some years to set it up and get it rolling. This will happen in the midst of a war. The War that I told you is coming. So I want you to understand that these things are not years away. Not off in some distant future. They are AT THE DOOR.
Right now, Donald Trump has started a trade war. There is some dismay and anger at his actions. He has set the world on edge, there is chaos in that nation . So much uncertainty because his actions since taking the Presidential seat are not in line with what he said he would be doing. He, Trump, wants to call the tune. He wants all the world to bow to America and dance to his tune. He is a wild bull of a man, with so much pride and arrogance – a perfect picture of America. If the people of America do not like this man, then they in effect do not like themselves because he is a mirror image of them. Proud and arrogant. Secure in the knowledge that they live in the best nation in the world and they know things that others do not know. And they have not needed God (Me)to get where they wanted to get. This is the homeland of the self-made man. In ONE HOUR all that will be wiped out. The hopes and dreams of millions will be in ruins.
I know that you can not comprehend what it will be like to live in this world after this. But remember: he who dwells in the safety of the Most High, he who has made Him his dwelling place, will find shelter there from this storm. This person will have provisions laid up (for him). I will be your provider in this time and until such time as I return. Do not fear the things to come but fear Me. Honour and obey Me in all that you do. Do not look to the left or the right but look up, for salvation comes from the Lord.
This is the Scripture that was going through my mind as I wrote down what the Lord was speaking to me :
Revelation 18:[16] And saying, Alas, alas, that great city, that was clothed in fine linen, and purple, and scarlet, and decked with gold, and precious stones, and pearls![17] For in one hour so great riches is come to nought. And every shipmaster, and all the company in ships, and sailors, and as many as trade by sea, stood afar off,
He also reminded me of my personal responsibility. He said :The important thing is the people have heard My voice. And now it is ‘on them’ as to whether they heed My voice. This is what I require of the prophet……… to speak all that I have said to them. It is not your responsibility to make them believe. That is their responsibility. The responsibility becomes theirs the moment they have heard or read what I said.

Many Bible schools, churches, preachers, evangelists, ministries, and missionaries seem to believe that the church age we are currently living in is the best ever. The Gospel is going out to the world through television, regular and shortwave radio, missionaries, and by other means. The Gospel has been published in most languages of the world. Yet, the Bible proclaims clearly that this is the worst church there has ever been. But then God´s Word also tells us that the wretched, pitiful, poor, blind, and naked church of today does not know these things. In other words, the churches of today believe they are just the opposite of their true condition. They believe they are the best, yet are in reality the worst. Some churches and ministries are sometimes proclaiming they have won tens of thousands, or even millions of people to Christ. However, when the people they claim to have won are examined by their fruits, there is no evidence that the person truly repented. There is no evidence that Jesus is their Lord and Saviour. There is no evidence they are obeying God´s Word or are following the Jesus of the Bible. Both their conversation and actions are centered on this world, not on Jesus and the world to come.
For the most part, the salvation message of this generation is to simply say a prayer. Once that prayer is said, then the person is eternally saved no matter what they may or may not do. The message of true repentance, true trust in Jesus Christ, forsaking everything, persecutions, God´s wrath, hell and the lake of fire, sin, the Revelation and Daniel, Bible prophecy, and good sound Bible doctrine is seldom heard in today´s churches. Most of today´s churches are storytelling, fun-filled, prosperity-seeking institutions that hear of God´s love, but despise and get angry when biblical correction comes forth. It is a church age that claims that they know God, but in both fruits and works, they deny Him. The lukewarm, Laodicean church is the one that will be spit out. It is the church that will be left behind when the Rapture comes. As very few were saved in the days of Noah, in like manner, very few are truly saved today. When the Rapture comes, only a few will be taken.
Regarding the more developed countries, it is a church age where men may sit in church on Sunday and then go home and click on the internet searching for pornography. It is a church age in which people claim they are saved, but have a cigarette or drugs in one hand and a beer in another. They are full of anger, they hate people, and seldom read their Bibles or pray. They are a people that claim to be Christian, but have no understanding of God´s truth. They do not or cannot examine themselves truthfully by
God´s Word to see if they are truly in the faith-ref 2 Cor 13:5. The question needs to be asked are you one of them?

1-THE SEVENTH CHURCH: LAODICEA
Laodicea means "human rights" or "the rights of the people." Thus, this was a church governed by the will of the people, rather than the will of God. Laodicea was located on a trade route, about forty miles southeast of Philadelphia in the country known, today, as Turkey. Supposedly, it was named after Laodice, the wife of the Seleucid monarch, Antiochus II. It was a large, fortified city, constructed during the middle of the third century B.C. Laodicea produced a fine black wool from the local sheep. It boasted a medical school, which produced a well-known eye medicine, called "Phrygian powder." (Laodicea was the capital of Phrygia.) Water was brought in by a special, approximately six mile long aqueduct system from nearby cities. Sunlight heated the water to lukewarm. The city was reportedly destroyed by an earthquake, about 34 years prior to John writing this letter but was rebuilt. It had become a Christian city. Paul was very concerned over this church; as it is written, Col 2:1-FOR I WOULD THAT YE KNEW WHAT GREAT CONFLICT I HAVE FOR THEM AT LAODICEA. It may be said that Paul was very concerned about their spiritual condition. The city was later destroyed by the Moslems, during the Middle Ages, and abandoned; its desolate ruins remain today. These ruins apparently reveal a wealthy financial and commercial center with temples and theaters. Luxury and pride would seem to go hand in hand with such things.
2-SUMMARY OF THE LAODICEAN CHURCH
There are eleven bad things and no good things mentioned of the Laodicean church in Rev 3:14-22. It seems this church has forgotten that Jesus is the ultimate Authority, He is true, and He is the true Judge. They have forgotten that He is faithful, He is God Almighty, and He created all things. It is the most heavily rebuked and deceived church in the history of the church age; however, it sees itself as "the best." It is the only church of the seven in which the entire church will be spit out (rejected).
This church is described as lukewarm, indifferent, not concerned with right and wrong, or with good and evil. They take a neutral position: one of "live and let live; don´t rock the boat; and don´t cause waves." They are trying to serve two masters - God and self (or the world). They are positive they are right. At best, their understanding of God´s Word, obedience, sin, repentance, and the fruits of the Spirit, is only lukewarm.
It is the worst of all the seven churches, yet the most confident. They claim they are rich, increased with goods, and have need of nothing; however, God judges them to be wretched, which is the result of having no faith or faith like a wave. It comes from a lack of truth, sound doctrine, and understanding. They are miserable, tossed about with all kinds of incorrect doctrines, which come in like the wind from every direction. They are poor in wisdom, in knowledge, in faith, and in the Word of God. They are not zealous for the truth, but are blind to their true condition and to Satan´s schemes. They think their condition is just the opposite of what it really is. They gather around themselves teachers that say what their selfishness, emotions, and deceived hearts want to hear. They are shamefully naked. They do not have on the white garments of righteousness, but are clothed with the black wool of deceit, which is no clothing at all. This church is shown to be naked, but they do not know these things. They are positive they are saved, but are positively wrong. THE FOOL RAGETH, AND IS CONFIDENT-Pv 14:16. One of the most appalling aspects of this church is, they are totally ignorant of all these things. They are unaware of their true spiritual condition. They are, sometimes, willingly ignorant. They are sometimes so deceived and blind that they do not even recognize that the letter to the church of the Laodiceans is actually a letter to them. As a result, they do not seek to change or repent. It may be said, these are people that go to church, sing spiritual songs, pray to God, and then Monday through Saturday live as if Jesus does not exist. They behave as if they will never have to face the judgment.
Laodiceans are told to buy of Jesus gold that is refined by the fire. They are told to anoint their eyes with ointment, so they can see their true spiritual condition as God sees it. The Lord appears to be admonishing them to be zealous for the things of
God´s wisdom, knowledge, and truth and to hate every evil way. He is telling them to repent.
Jesus is shown outside the door of this church, not inside. He is depicted as knocking on the door of the church and on the individual´s heart, but the Laodiceans do not want to let Him in. They do not want to be shown they are wrong and will perish. They do not want to see their true blind and wretched condition. They do not want correction or truth. Often, ministers, churches, and ministries focus more on getting money and more people, rather than on humbleness, brokenness, and good sound doctrine.
This is a description of the last church is the worst of all, in which the entire church is described as being spit out (or perishing). This is a description of the most confident church of them all, yet it is the most deceived church that has ever existed; however, they do not know or understand it. This is the description of today´s church. The verses on the Laodicean church are in perfect harmony with many other verses that tell how the times would be, leading up to the Tribulation.
We would all do well to heed the words of Jesus: HE THAT HATH AN EAR, LET HIM HEAR WHAT THE SPIRIT SAITH UNTO THE CHURCHES-Rev 3:22.
3-TODAY´S CHURCH
This is the church age from which the Antichrist will emerge. It is the church age Paul talked about that would not endure sound doctrine, but would gather around them teachers that would say what their ITCHING EARS wanted and desired to hear-ref 2 Tim 4:3. Jesus was asked about the sign of His coming. The first thing He said was, TAKE HEED THAT NO MAN DECEIVE YOU-Mt 24:4; ref Mk 13:5; Lk 21:8. Before Jesus warned about wars and rumors of wars; before He related about famines, earthquakes, and diseases; before He told about the Gospel being published among all nations, He warned about the age of religious deception that would come. This is that church age. In the history of the seven churches, there has never been a church age so filled with deceptive doctrines and ideas, yet so totally ignorant of its true condition. In the church of Sardis (the "dead" church), there were a FEW NAMES that had not defiled their garments-ref Rev 3:4. However, in the Laodicean church age, there does not appear to be even a "few" that are not blind and naked.
This is very much in harmony with the Scriptures relating to the coming of the Lord being as in the days of Noah, wherein FEW souls were saved. Despite the overwhelming witness of God´s Word, regarding this church, they are in total ignorance of the truth, often preaching just the opposite.
Today´s church is full of deception; it will perish. However, there are well-known Bible teachers who think that more than fifty percent of Americans are born-again. It is a church where people are entertained and made to feel good, instead of falling upon their knees in godly sorrow for sin. It is a church age for laughing rather than for crying. It is a church age of saying a sinner´s prayer and believing a person is saved, even though afterward there is absolutely no evidence of repentance, the fruits of the Spirit, doing the will of God, or the fruits of the works of God. In some cases, the preachers know these things, but will not tell their congregations the truth. Some are afraid that people might leave their church and go elsewhere. They love the praise of men more than the praise of God. Having lots of unsaved or lukewarm people means more to them than having a few hot, spiritual people. It is a church that finds time to do all manner of things, but does not find time to humbly dwell in and study God´s Word as if their life depended on it.
It is the church age when thousands of Christian preachers may preside daily over funerals declaring that the deceased person is now in heaven when, in reality, he is screaming, tormented in the flames of hell. When have you ever heard a preacher say at a funeral that the deceased person went to hell? The Bible clearly shows that only a few are truly saved by the grace of God; however, if one would listen to the preachers at funerals, it would seem that everyone goes to heaven.
The preaching, in many of today´s churches, consists of foolishness, jokes, storytelling, and teaching what pleases people, rather than God´s pure Word. They do not usually preach that THE THOUGHT OF FOOLISHNESS IS SIN-Pv 24:9. Some of the best comedians are behind the pulpits. Should a preacher, who gets the congregation laughing with jokes, then expect people to fall on their faces before God with conviction for sin and with tears of repentance? Is this the way Jesus preached? Did Jesus try to comfort those that came to hear Him with jokes, foolishness, or other antics to cause them to laugh?
The preaching, in many of today´s churches, consists of reading a few Bible verses; then the preacher talks about himself, his family, and other incidents that relate to the verses. The people learn very little about Jesus. They learn very little of the WORD OF GOD and of comparing the Word with the Word. On the other hand, they learn a great deal about the preacher, his children, his wife, his friends, things he has done, and so on. What a blind church age, when we teach what other people and other books say, but we ignore what God says in His Word! The milk of the Word is diluted with lots of water. They preach watered-down milk. A baby that receives only one part of milk, mixed with ten parts of water, will eventually die. The born-again Christian needs and desires the PURE SPIRITUAL MILK-1 Pe 2:2 NIV, that is not watered-down with other things. It is not man, but the Holy Spirit that opens a person´s heart to understand. So few seem to realize this. It is a church age where God´s Word is proclaiming, PREACH THE WORD-2 Tim 4:2. Jesus (the Word) is outside the church knocking, yet who has ears to hear?
What a blind church age it is! Jesus is about to return; many biblical signs testify to this fact. Nevertheless, many churches will not teach Bible prophecy. Even though much of the Bible pertains to prophecy, it is often ignored. Many churches teach on love, but exhibit no love toward other born-again people outside of their own local church. Many churches think they can see how blind other churches are, but fail to see how blind they themselves are.
Many Bible schools and churches teach this way; afterward, they wipe their mouth and say, "I have done no wrong." In their blindness, they fulfill the Laodicean prophecies. It is very common to find church members that say they follow Christ, but are involved in every sort of sin imaginable. Many of these same people hold positions of authority. They may oversee the church´s business affairs, including the hiring and dismissing of pastors, yet they, themselves, are spiritually dead and ignorant of God´s Word. The church has been infected with leaven (false doctrine), which has grown like a cancer, reaching to the very core. The entire church is infected and sick, but does not know it.
In today´s church, some missionaries think that many in Africa shall be raptured; it is estimated that eighty percent of the African couples that are living together are not even married, when viewed in light of God´s Word. Some just move in together. Others may pay part of a dowry, or say they will pay it, and then set up housekeeping and have children. They live in fornication, yet believe they are married. (Marriage customs vary somewhat from nation to nation, or from tribe to tribe.) Many of these are professing Christian preachers. Many other "so-called" Christian preachers have several wives. In addition, many of the churches are divided against each other; bickering has led to further splits and even hatred.
In India, the woman or parents of the woman may pay for her husband, which is very contrary to the Bible. This practice instills a concept completely foreign to God´s Word. It was Jesus Who gave His life for His bride. We love Him, because He first loved us. He gave His life for us. Often in India, when payment is not made, the husband may beat or kill his wife. Many Christian pastors in India and Africa are afraid to take a stand for what is right in the eyes of God´s Word, as they would be going against the traditions of the people. By doing this, they might suffer further persecutions. Many missionaries that go to these places are either ignorant of these things, or they choose to ignore them. In addition, some missionaries bring false doctrines and deceptions of the Laodicean age with them to the mission field and further deceive the people. It is wrong for Christians to partake of traditions that oppose the Word of God. It is also wrong for Christian pastors to permit these practices among the flock of which they have the oversight. To do so is sin and only serves to perpetuate the "leaven."
Murder, stealing, drugs, fornication, adultery, homosexuality, abortions, greed, materialism, swearing, hatred, and every manner of sin conceivable exists in America. Nevertheless, many of the unrepentant people that do these things attend church on Sunday as if they have done no wrong. At church, however, they seldom hear preaching against sin; they seldom hear the word "repent."
In many of the churches throughout the world, people sing, and sing, and sing, but know little of what God´s Word has to say. They know the words to many songs, but know little about Bible doctrine. It is very common, in some countries, to find pastors that may pray for hours a day, but spend only a few minutes reading God´s Word. They pray to a God they know very little about. Around the world, the church is in great blindness and is not aware of it. This is part of what Jesus prophesied would happen; it has come to pass. As birth pangs of a woman, it will continue to get worse until, finally, the trumpet sounds and Jesus calls those few faithful, fruit-bearing Christians home. The Laodicean Christians of this generation will be rejected (spit out) and left behind: most will continually refuse to believe this until it is too late.
The truth of much of God´s Word (Jesus) has been abandoned and rejected by this church age. As Jesus is seen standing outside of His church knocking on the door, so the Laodiceans will be left out of heaven, except they repent. Can you clearly see these things? Very few can. Consider EPAPHRAS...A SERVANT OF CHRIST...HE HATH A GREAT ZEAL FOR YOU, AND THEM THAT ARE IN LAODICEA-Col 4:12,13.
4-SPIRITUAL WARFARE
As we carefully study the seven churches, we note that Satan has tried bringing great persecutions in the past; these did not destroy the church. Satan has tried using less persecutions and more false doctrine mixed with the truth; this worked more effectively. Satan is using prosperity, selfishness, false doctrine, and lukewarm preaching mixed with the truth; this has almost destroyed the church. This is the Laodicean church.
It needs to be repeated that there is not one good thing mentioned about the Laodicean church from the words of Jesus.
Information on the Laodicean church (Rev 3:14-22):
REV 3:14. AND UNTO THE ANGEL OF THE CHURCH OF THE LAODICEANS WRITE. Once again, John is told to write.
THESE THINGS SAITH (or are the words of). Next the subject turns to Jesus. The verse addresses Him as,
5-DESCRIPTIONS OF JESUS
1. THE AMEN.
2. THE FAITHFUL AND TRUE WITNESS.
3. THE BEGINNING OF THE CREATION OF GOD.
As with the other six churches, the descriptions of Jesus tell something about this particular church age. These descriptions often convey a message to the church of things that may be lacking or have been forgotten. The "AMEN" means, "so be it, it is true." This is reminding the church that Jesus is sovereign, He is true, He is everything. Jesus is the final Word, the true Judge, and the ultimate Authority. He is God Almighty. This "truth" has been largely rejected in the Laodicean church age.
Jesus is the "FAITHFUL AND TRUE WITNESS." LET GOD BE TRUE, BUT EVERY MAN A LIAR-Ro 3:4. The church is being reminded that Jesus is faithful. Jesus is the true Witness. His Word is true. The church of the Laodiceans have forgotten this. Jesus presents Himself in this manner, as what He is about to say will conflict with the opinions that they have of themselves. Jesus is showing that what He will say is true, and what they say and think is wrong. This "truth" has also been largely rejected by the Laodicean church age.
The church is being reminded that Jesus is the "BEGINNING OF THE CREATION OF GOD"-Rev 3:14. Some forget the words, FOR BY HIM WERE ALL THINGS CREATED-Col 1:16; GOD, WHO CREATED ALL THINGS BY JESUS CHRIST-Eph 3:9. Satan´s deceptive theory of evolution is now widely accepted as truth, and the truth that God created all things has been laid aside, rejected by much of the Laodicean church age.
REV 3:15. This verse begins with a series of words that are repeated in each of the churches´ I KNOW THY WORKS (or deeds). This is addressed to the church, in general, as well as the individual. God knows the works of His people, things done both in the open and in secret. If this would be counted as a good point, then one good point would be listed for this church; however, the description of the works of this church are all unacceptable. Jesus is showing, clearly, no good or acceptable works come forth from this church.
6-GOOD THINGS
None.
7-BAD THINGS
1. THAT THOU ART NEITHER COLD NOR HOT. Then Jesus makes a comment,
I WOULD THOU WERT COLD OR HOT (I wish you were either one or the other!-NIV). If a person is cold, he can sometimes be reached for Jesus. On the other hand, Jesus would prefer that His servants were "hot."
3:16.
2. SO THEN BECAUSE THOU ART LUKEWARM, AND NEITHER COLD NOR HOT. Consider the nature of something lukewarm. A cup of cold water can be very satisfying-ref Mt 10:42. A cup of hot tea or some other beverage can also be very satisfying and taste delicious. But a cup of lukewarm water or lukewarm tea can be very unappealing; it may taste so bad, a person may want to spit it out. This describes the Laodicean church age.
It was the cold, spiritual atmosphere of the church in England that motivated John Wesley to begin his own meetings. It was the coldness of the Methodist Church that caused William Booth to become "on fire" for the Lord. God wants His people to be "hot" in knowledge and in zeal for Him. However, if this is not the case, then He would prefer them to be cold. When one is cold, it is clear-cut; this distinction can eventually lead some to want to be hot. However, the lukewarm often do not recognize their condition or seek to change as the cold do. They are deceived, but confident they will not perish and are usually comfortable in the world.
Many of today´s churches, in America, are a type of social club. They have committees, lots of programs, recreation areas, entertainment, paid singers, and comedians. There are many things to lure a person in and to please the carnal nature and flesh. Soulwinning is like a business. There are many types of crusades and "revivals"; however, few generate true conviction for sin, where people are driven to their knees, confessing their sins, denying themselves, and crying out in brokenness over their wickedness. Revivals, in this lukewarm generation, seldom spark desire within one to be so hungry for Jesus that he turns off the TV and sets aside other activities to spend hours a day studying God´s Word and humbly seeking Him in prayer. And if one does come to Jesus, he may be quickly "cooled off," as he is surrounded by his friends, relatives, local churches, radio and television preachers, who may bring forth a lukewarm message of compromise, deceit, and truth intermixed. The, perhaps, "one out of a thousand preachers" that he might hear, who brings forth sound doctrine, is often quickly discredited by everyone around him. Thus, lukewarm becomes the accepted way of truth, and sound doctrine is viewed as the way of deceit in the seventh and last church age. Whether it is the large cathedral, or the small church with a grass roof, or the hidden house church—lukewarm is the church of this generation. Many have pride in the fact that they have a new building, or more people, or more children. Others have pride that they have gotten many to say a sinner´s prayer, even though, afterwards, not one may have shown any evidence of denying himself, taking up his CROSS DAILY, and following Jesus-ref Lk 9:23.
Today´s church seems to think that more finances and things to attract the carnal nature will convert the world. True conversion comes through the work of the Holy Spirit. The Laodicean church is centered on "self" rather than on Jesus. It lures with promises of miracles, healings, prosperity, good times, fellowship, and friends. The Laodicean church seldom tells people that if they decide to follow Jesus, the biblical way, they can expect problems, persecutions, the loss of their friends, ridicule, false accusations, their name dragged through the mud, and their families to forsake them. They are not told that they may get very sick, enduring much pain and anguish. They are not informed how Satan will tempt them, or that they could lose everything they possess. They are unaware that many of the traditions that they are following of their church, country, tribe, etc. are an abomination to God. They are seldom told, by any preacher, how blind and wretched this Laodicean church age is.
Of the few, true Christians that do exist, no matter what they go through, Jesus will be with them.
Jesus described the Laodicean church as lukewarm. The lukewarm are confident they are correct and righteous. Their confidence is so deeply rooted that it is nearly impossible to reach them with the truth. Lukewarmness comes from mixing both hot and cold. They are not cold toward the things of God, but neither are they hot. They are content, apathetic, indifferent. They are not truly concerned with what is right and wrong or what is good and evil. Within the Laodicean church is the prevailing attitude of "live and let live; don´t rock the boat; don´t cause waves; it will all turn out O.K." They are taking a neutral position. They are trying to serve God, but are also trying to please men. They are serving two masters and justify their position. They are serving God, and they are serving "self." They are serving God, and they are serving the world. This is totally unacceptable with God. Remember, the name "Laodicea" means "the rights of the people." Their knowledge and understanding of God, His Word, and of these things is, at best, only lukewarm. Their obedience, love, fruits of the Spirit, and works are, at best, only lukewarm. Their daily conversation may be centered on both the things of the world and the things of God. They are like a wave. They are carnal and have not denied themselves. They are not fully following Jesus, though they are usually sure they are. Jesus is in their life, but He is not the center of their life. Their life revolves around things of the world and worldly circumstances; Jesus is only a part. They have need of milk (basic doctrines) and not meat (perfection). They are not ready for the doctrine of perfection and holiness. Their thoughts are divided between Jesus and the things of the world. Laodiceans want to maintain a level of control over their lives; they will trust Jesus only to a point. They do not have the understanding that Jesus is in control when very difficult situations come against them; their knowledge is lukewarm. At best, their understanding of who is saved, by the grace of God, and who is not saved is only lukewarm. It may be said, they do not fully comprehend the strait gate and narrow way.
Their teaching may consist of some sound doctrine mixed with confusion, false doctrine, deceit, doctrines of men and denominations, new fads, or other distortions of Scripture that come along. They may have a great church complex, a magnificent choir, large attendance, much money coming in, a vast radio and television ministry, an extensive mailing list reaching multitudes with a monthly magazine, and many letters and telephone calls coming in. They may be claiming to have won many souls, but if the message being proclaimed is only lukewarm, then that is all they are. The following should be considered. Sound doctrine is disappearing; most people will not tolerate it. One might ask, "What would happen if sound doctrine was being taught?" The answer is found in the Scriptures. In the days of the apostles, sound doctrine was being taught in Laodicea; however, it was rejected. The Laodicean church was only lukewarm; this is unacceptable to God.
For those who may wonder if lukewarm is really so bad, Jesus gives the following warning.
8-WARNING
1. I WILL SPEW (or spit) THEE OUT OF MY MOUTH. The entire Laodicean church will be spit out and perish. There will be such a small number from this church that will repent, not even the word "few" is used as it was in the "dead" church of Sardis. The lukewarm will not be taken when the Rapture comes.
9-BAD THINGS
3:17.
3. BECAUSE THOU SAYEST (or because you say), I AM RICH. Laodicea was prosperous, and the church had taken the same attitude. This church considered itself rich and increased with goods. Indeed, throughout much of the world today, there are large, beautiful church buildings. Even in poorer countries that do not have these nice facilities, many believe the success of their ministry depends upon getting financial help from abroad, rather than trusting in Jesus and waiting upon Him. Jesus is showing the focus of this church and what they are saying is wrong.
4. The church also is saying, I AM INCREASED WITH GOODS (or I have acquired wealth). So much emphasis is placed upon prosperity.
5. AND HAVE NEED OF NOTHING. They are centered on "self." They are satisfied. They are content.
Laodicea is a proud church that sees itself as a good and spiritually sound institution with no needs. In many countries, the Laodicean churches seemingly prosper in their organization, in material assets, in university degrees, in attendance, in offerings, in paid staff, and in volunteer workers. Never in church history has there been so many Bible schools and universities. Never has the church owned so much property; spent so much money; had so many books, programs, guest speakers, radio and television ministries; broadcasted on short-wave radio around the entire world; had so much material wealth, yet been so spiritually bankrupt. In Rev 3:20, the Lord Jesus Christ, Himself, stands outside knocking at the door.
This is today´s church, the most deceived of all seven. It is filled with all sorts of half truths and distorted doctrines. It sees itself totally different than what it really is. It is so blind and deceived, it does not even understand that these passages, in Rev 3:14-22, are written directly to them. These passages are for all of us, right now.
6. AND KNOWEST NOT THAT THOU ART (or you do not realize) (or you don´t know that you are the one who is-JNT121). Jesus is showing this church believes what they are saying, yet there are things they do not know. Jesus is showing that they are not in the light as they think they are, but are in darkness, unable to see their true condition. This church is portrayed as having a terminal illness, yet are unaware of it. They do not understand they are going to die and perish. They are completely deceived. Jesus continues by revealing what the true condition of this church is. It is,
7. WRETCHED
8. AND MISERABLE (or pitiful)
9. AND POOR
10. AND BLIND
11. AND NAKED
Jesus is showing that this is the worst church, yet they are the most confident. The condition of this church is a reflection of the Bible schools, and what is being preached from the pulpits, and what is being taught by the missionaries, and what is in the people´s hearts. They are "wretched," but they do not know it. Being wretched comes from no faith, lukewarm faith, or faith like a wave. It comes from a lack of truth and understanding. It comes from being taught a form of the milk of God´s Word, which is so diluted by other things mixed in with it, that people are no longer standing upon the Rock of truth. People are standing upon truth and deceit mixed together. This is a church that hears lukewarm preaching and comes away empty and unfulfilled, yet is in such darkness that it is content; it does not even know it is wretched. This word appears only one other time in the New Testament. It is in Ro 7:24, where Paul describes himself, by saying, "O WRETCHED MAN THAT I AM." Unlike Paul, the Laodicean church cannot recognize its condition.
They are "miserable" (or pitiful), but do not know it. This is the result of being wretched they are tossed about with all kinds of doctrines that come in like the wind from all directions. The truth has been set aside to please people´s flesh. The popularity or charisma of the preacher often replaces the appeal of Jesus, which is the Word of God. They are "poor," but do not know it. They are poor in wisdom, in knowledge, in faith, and in understanding the Word of God. They are not zealous for the truth. They are "blind," but they do not know it. They are blind regarding God´s Word, in salvation, in repentance, in discerning fruit, in who is saved, in understanding what Satan is doing, and in recognizing the falling away that is happening and has already happened. Many preach revival is coming, which is just the opposite of falling. Their guard against the schemes of the devil is down, when it should be up. They think they can stamp Satan under their feet, when, in reality, Satan is stamping them under his feet, and they do not know it. They are trying to see the great moves of God and are not understanding the moves of the adversary. They call deceit, truth and truth, deceit. In these things they are blind, which means they do not see or understand these things. Yet they are positive their condition is rich and increased with goods they think they need nothing. Many preachers also think they are rich in knowledge, as they proudly display their college degrees on the wall of their office and have shelves filled with hundreds of books "about" the Bible. Their large church, or the many churches that are under their control, or their vast ministry seems to testify that they are spiritually in the light. Yet God´s Word said that this church is blind. They teach the gifts of the Spirit, but do not teach or demonstrate the fruits of the Spirit. God´s Word teaches water baptism by full immersion (ref Ro 6:4; Col 2:12), and Jesus disciples spent much time baptizing people; yet some of today´s churches teach against water baptism. Others argue that sprinkling baptism is the right way, and some baptize in the name of Jesus only. However, Jesus taught, clearly, BAPTIZING THEM IN THE NAME OF THE FATHER, AND OF THE SON, AND OF THE HOLY GHOST: TEACHING THEM TO OBSERVE (or obey) ALL THINGS WHATSOEVER I HAVE COMMANDED YOU-Mt 28:19,20. Many do not even teach that we are to obey God´s Word and keep His commandments. They teach about the love of God, but do not teach that the evidence of a person´s love for God is demonstrated by, IF YE LOVE "ME," KEEP MY COMMANDMENTS-Jn 14:15.
They are "naked" and do not know it. Nakedness reveals a person´s condition. They are exposed. They have no clothing on. Their condition is shameful. They think they are covered by grace but are not. Spiritual nakedness denotes no covering. It illustrates that they are not covered with God´s Word, with wisdom, knowledge, and understanding. They are not covered with the blood of Jesus by true faith that is evidenced by what they do. As it is written, FAITH WITHOUT WORKS (or actions) IS DEAD-Ja 2:20. Their covering is deceit. They know not that they are naked and walking in lukewarmness. They know not that they shall perish.
This church may think highly of itself, but its wretched condition is naked before God.
10-ADVICE ON WHAT TO DO
3:18. I COUNSEL THEE (or My advice to you is-JNT122)
1. TO BUY OF ME GOLD TRIED (or refined) IN THE FIRE.
The Laodicean church has gold, but it is the wrong kind. The purchase of the gold must come from Jesus. This is not regular gold but refined gold (Jesus, the Word of God). This is the righteousness that comes from faith.
2. AND ANOINT (or rub) THINE EYES WITH EYESALVE.
Because this church is spiritually blind, they are being admonished to use eyesalve, so their blindness might be cured. They do not have correct spiritual discernment. Their understanding of their condition is opposite of the truth. This would indicate that Satan´s deceptions in this church are great, which explains why Jesus said, TAKE HEED THAT NO MAN DECEIVE YOU-Mt 24:4. This church did not love truth.
3:19.
3. BE ZEALOUS (or be earnest) (or exert yourselves-JNT123) THEREFORE,
4. AND REPENT (or turn from your sins).
The message is clear to this church. First, believe all of God´s Word. Believe what He is saying to this church. Then follow what Jesus said to do. Obey the Gospel. Put on eyesalve that you may see and understand. Be zealous and repent.
11-REASONS TO FOLLOW GOD´S ADVICE
3:18.
1. THAT THOU MAYEST BE RICH. The richness here is not earthly wealth, but is the richness that comes from faith. Through faith we overcome and inherit all things. The second church, Smyrna, had much poverty in the world, but they were RICH-Rev 2:9. The Laodicean church has worldly riches but lukewarm faith. It is written, WHEN THE SON OF MAN COMETH, SHALL HE FIND FAITH ON THE EARTH?-Lk 18:8.
2. AND WHITE RAIMENT (or white clothes to wear). The white raiment is the righteousness of the saints, which is received through faith in Jesus Christ. The Laodicean church is not clothed with white raiment. Any clothing other than this white raiment, only results in nakedness.
3. THAT THOU MAYEST BE CLOTHED (or may be dressed).
4. AND THAT THE SHAME OF THY NAKEDNESS DO NOT APPEAR (or so you can cover your shameful nakedness-NIV). This church is naked; it has no clothing on. It is clothed with deceit, which is no clothing at all. The nakedness of this church is clear only to a few in this generation. It is shameful.
5. THAT THOU MAYEST SEE (or so you can see). Only through anointing the eyes with eyesalve, can one hope to see and understand one´s condition. The Bible says to examine ourselves. This is done by denying ourselves and humbly and honestly looking at ourselves in light of "all" of God´s Word.
3:19.
6. AS MANY AS I LOVE (or those whom I love),
I REBUKE AND CHASTEN (or discipline). Because of Jesus love, He will rebuke and chasten that we might not perish. Thus, we are admonished to "be zealous therefore and repent."
If a lukewarm Christian will not obey God´s warning, he is without hope. He shall not be taken in the Rapture. He shall perish. Only a few will heed God´s warning, for the prophecy must be fulfilled.
12-WHAT JESUS IS DOING
3:20. The invitation that Jesus offers may apply to any person; however, here, it is an invitation given to the Laodicean church and to the individual that believes on Jesus Christ but is only lukewarm.
1. BEHOLD, I STAND AT THE DOOR. A church is an assembly of believers. Individuals make up the church. Jesus is illustrating a very sad picture of the Laodicean church. He is standing outside of "His" church, not inside. It is the people´s church. Laodicea means "human rights" or "the rights of the people." They do not want to let Jesus (the Word) rule over them. They want to rule themselves. This church is described, outwardly, as being prosperous and having many goods, yet Jesus is on the outside, not on the inside. It is incredible that this church is completely ignorant of its true condition. Thousands of churches are on radio and television. They send out missionaries around the world. They preach Jesus, but He is on the outside. They do not understand this. Multitudes write books about the Bible and their own life´s experiences with God, but Jesus is still on the outside, knocking on the door, saying, "Let Me in." They do not understand. As they will not let Jesus in, neither will He let them in at the judgment. Churches sing and sing about Jesus and worship Him. They are involved in all sorts of Christian service. A person may ask, "How, then, can Jesus be on the outside of the church?" The answer can be summed up in this way - self and worldliness. Following Rev 3:22, there should be a message from God´s Word to consider on this subject.
2. AND KNOCK (or here, I´m standing at the door, knocking-JNT124). Jesus is knocking on the door of "His" church. The people inside are, undoubtedly, singing about Jesus; they may even be worshiping and praying to Him. Nevertheless, Jesus may not be in their hearts. God´s Word has not found a place in them to dwell and grow.
Yet Jesus continues to knock. He knocks on the door of people´s hearts, as if to say, "Let Me in."
1. IF ANY MAN HEAR MY VOICE. Jesus is talking to the individual.
2. AND OPEN THE DOOR. To the individual that will hear the voice of Jesus and open the door of his heart, Jesus promises,
13-PROMISES
1. I WILL COME IN TO HIM,
2. AND WILL SUP (or eat)
WITH HIM,
3. AND HE (will)
WITH ME. The door cannot be opened by Jesus, but must be opened by the one that hears His voice. He that hears and understands God´s Word must respond by opening his heart to Jesus. To this person that responds, these promises are given.
14-REWARDS
3:21. TO HIM THAT OVERCOMETH (or him who wins the victory-JNT125). We overcome by walking in faith. To him that overcomes the lukewarmness, the "not knowing" his true condition, the riches and needing nothing, and obeys the advice of Jesus. The verse continues, to him that overcomes,
1. WILL I GRANT (or give the right)
TO SIT WITH ME IN MY THRONE, EVEN (or just)
AS I ALSO OVERCAME, AND AM SET DOWN WITH MY FATHER IN HIS THRONE. Jesus is currently sitting at the right hand of God the Father. However, during the Millennium, Jesus will sit upon His own throne. We are to overcome, even as Jesus overcame; to those that do, the promise is given them to sit with Jesus in His throne.
3:22. HE THAT HATH AN EAR (or those who have ears),
LET HIM HEAR WHAT THE SPIRIT SAITH (or is saying)
UNTO THE CHURCHES.
Note the words of Rev 22:16:
I JESUS HAVE SENT MINE ANGEL TO
TESTIFY UNTO YOU
THESE THINGS IN THE CHURCHES.
There are many lukewarm, blind churches that will not teach these things in this Laodicean church age.
PROPHECIES CONCERNING THE TIMES WE ARE NOW LIVING IN
15-PROPHECIES CONCERNING THE CHURCH OF TODAY
Without any question, the condition of the church before the Rapture reflects no revival. Instead, what is portrayed is a deceived church that does not know or understand its true blind and wretched condition.
16-FALSE CHRISTS AND FALSE PROPHETS BEFORE THE RAPTURE
Many will come professing to be Christ.
The false Christs shall deceive many.
Many false prophets shall come.
The false prophets shall deceive many.
The false Christs and false prophets shall show great signs, wonders, and miracles.
Without any question, these Scriptures reflect no revival, but rather deception.
17-HOW PEOPLE´S REACTION TO GOD´S WORD WOULD BE BEFORE THE RAPTURE
People would be ever learning but not able to understand the truth.
People would be willingly ignorant of the truth.
People would resist the truth.
These would be depraved, unprincipled, of corrupt minds.
People would not receive the love of the truth.
People would not endure sound doctrine.
People would turn away from God´s Word and follow things that are untrue.
People would forget that the world was destroyed by water.
People would gather around themselves teachers to say what they want to hear.
Without any question, these Scriptures reflect no revival. Instead, we see people resisting the truth, not enduring sound doctrine, and gathering around themselves preachers and teachers to say what they want to hear.
18-PEOPLE WOULD BE LEAVING THE FAITH, FALLING AWAY
Some would forsake the faith of Jesus Christ.
Some would fall away from the faith of Jesus Christ.
Some servants of God would begin to smite their fellow servants.
Some servants of God would begin to eat and drink with the drunken.
Without any question, these Scriptures reflect no revival. Rather they reflect the opposite of revival that of falling away from God´s Word. What is the opposite of falling away? It is revival. Could it be that Satan is concealing the truth of falling away with the lie of revival? Is it possible he has been so skillful at doing this that even some of the most respected Bible teachers have been deceived in this matter?
19-FALSE FORMS OF WORSHIP
Some that follow Jesus would turn and follow devils.
Some would worship devils.
Some would worship the work of their hands.
Some would worship idols of gold.
Some would worship idols of silver.
Some would worship idols of brass.
Some would worship idols of stone.
Some would worship idols of wood.
Without any question, these Scriptures reflect no revival, but rather people being greatly deceived.
20-SPEAKING AGAINST GOD
Ungodly sinners would speak against God. Definitely no revival indicated here.
21-SIN AND EVIL, HOW THE PEOPLE WOULD BE
People would be ungodly and doing ungodly deeds.
People would be unholy.
Women would be laden with sins.
The world would be increasingly evil.
Sin shall abound and increase.
The wickedness of the people would be great.
The transgressors or people´s wickedness would come to the full.
Without any question, these Scriptures reflect no revival. These show people becoming more and more sinful. All one has to do is compare how people were 40 years ago with how they are today, and these Scriptures are proven to be very true.
22-HOW THE PEOPLE WOULD BE OVERALL
People would not love God as much as pleasures.
People would have an outer form of godliness but denying Jesus.
People would be scoffers or mockers regarding the return of Jesus.
People would be questioning the promise of the coming of Jesus Christ.
Some of God´s people would say, "My Lord delayeth His coming."
Very few people would be following God´s ways and be saved.
Without any question, there is no evidence of revival here.
23-HOW THE CLERGY WOULD BE
Clergy would be lying.
Clergy would be committing adultery.
Clergy would be strengthening those who do evil, so that they do not repent.
Clergy would be saying, "I have dreamed."
Clergy would try to cause God´s people to forget His name.
Clergy would steal or repeat each other´s words.
Without any question, these Scriptures reflect no revival. Rather they portray the clergy becoming more and more deceived, more and more sinful.
24-PERTAINING TO KNOWING THE TIMES
The wicked shall not understand the latter days or time of the end.
Those that do not watch will not understand the time of the end.
Many will not understand in their heart that the coming of Jesus is very close.
Without any question, these Scriptures reflect no revival. They reflect a people that do not understand that the coming of the Lord is very near.
25-WHAT THE PEOPLE WOULD BE LIKE WITHIN THEMSELVES
People would have no conscience of doing wrong.
People would love themselves.
People would be covetous and lovers of money.
People would be proud.
People would despise those that do good.
People would be conceited.
People would love pleasures.
People would have pleasure in doing evil.
Women would be weak-willed in resisting sin (including sex).
Women would be involved in all kinds of evil lusts and desires.
People would be walking after their own lusts.
People would be very worldly and controlled by their natural instincts and impulses.
Many people´s love would grow colder and colder.
People´s imaginations and thoughts would be evil continually.
Without any question, these Scriptures reflect no revival. They reflect a world that is getting further and further away from the truth of God´s Word.
26-WHAT PEOPLE WOULD BE LIKE TOWARD OTHERS: PEOPLE´S PERSONALITIES
Without any question, these Scriptures reflect no revival. They reflect a world that is turning away from God and His Word.
27-PEOPLE WOULD BE FOLLOWING THESE SINFUL LIFESTYLES
Without any question, these Scriptures also reflect no revival. Rather they reflect a very deceived and perverted society.
28-PEOPLE WOULD BE GOING ABOUT BUSINESS AS USUAL, AS IF NOTHING WAS ABOUT TO HAPPEN
Without any question, these Scriptures reflect no revival. Rather they reflect people oblivious to the fact that Jesus will soon come to rapture the few people that are still following Him.
29-OTHER ITEMS ABOUT THE PEOPLE
Without any question, these Scriptures also reflect no revival. These picture people becoming more and more sinful. These picture people that are so corrupt that they do not even hide their sin. These reveal that people have no understanding of right and wrong according to God´s Word.
30-PEOPLE WOULD NOT BE DOING THIS
People would not be repenting in great numbers just before the Rapture. Many would not help the poor and needy.
Without any question, these Scriptures also reflect there will be no revival.
31-HOW THE WORLD WOULD BE REGARDING EVIL
The earth would be corrupt.|
The earth would be filled with violence.
The earth would have more and more totally uninhibited, senseless, violent, unreasonable people committing unspeakable acts.
Witchcraft, in various forms, would increase throughout the earth
Without any question, these Scriptures also reflect there will be no great revival. There will be no great true repentance prior to the Rapture.
From India to America, from America to Africa the voices ring out that revival is coming. From short wave radio, to the mud brick churches in third-world countries, to Christian television broadcasting, preachers are proclaiming, "Revival is coming." Several questions need to be asked:
Is a great revival going to come before the Rapture or not?
Is the statement that a great revival is coming before the Rapture based on Scripture, hope, or falsehood?
Has Satan deceived people regarding a great revival coming before the Rapture in order to hide a message that God has for His people? Read on - you might get a surprise.
32-PEOPLE FALLING AWAY FROM TRUE TRUST IN JESUS CHRIST: PEOPLE FALLING AWAY FROM THE TRUTH
People would fall away from the faith of Jesus Christ. Prophecy fulfilled-beginning around the 1960's or before and getting worse and worse to this current time. It is written, EXCEPT THERE COME A FALLING AWAY (or apostasy) FIRST-2 Thes 2:3. It is also written, AS THE DAYS OF NOAH WERE, SO SHALL ALSO THE COMING OF THE SON OF MAN BE-Mt 24:37. In Noah´s day, they also fell away. It is written, ALL FLESH HAD CORRUPTED HIS WAY UPON THE EARTH-Gen 6:12. There was no great revival in the days of Noah. It is also as in the days of Lot. It is written, LIKEWISE ALSO AS IT WAS IN THE DAYS OF LOT. EVEN THUS SHALL IT BE IN THE DAY WHEN THE SON OF MAN IS REVEALED-Lk 17:28,30. There was no great revival in the days of Lot. Rather, the people were corrupt and were not following God´s ways. They did not repent.
Many in this last generation have become a part of the apostasy. Many people have already fallen. It becomes so very clear when knocking on people´s doors to witness. Multitudes tell how they once were following Jesus, but they no longer are. Satan has very cleverly clouded the minds of many born-again people and clergy, so that the falling away that has already happened is not recognized by very many. The apostasy (the falling away from Jesus) will continue to get worse and worse until that day comes when the trumpet shall blow. Then the very few saints, who have remained faithful, shall be raptured. It will be as Noah´s day was. Few were saved and escaped the flood. It will be as Lot´s day was. Few were saved and escaped the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah. This prophecy is fulfilled.
The Scripture clearly shows this is the age of deception and falling. What would be the opposite of falling? The answer is revival. If Satan would desire to hide the fact that many are falling, then the opposite can be expected to be taught. Thus, the falling away is seldom taught. In its place, the deception of a revival before the Rapture is taught. Thus, the people are looking for revival and are not on their guard against the schemes of the devil.
Many well-known, highly esteemed evangelists and ministers are teaching this deception. "Revival coming" is what multitudes of itching ears want to hear, even though it is not true. The next worldwide revival will be during the Tribulation; however, many will not get saved, as they have no knowledge of these things. Those that do get saved, during that horrible time, can expect to flee for their lives. They can expect to be betrayed by people they trust, ridiculed, beaten, tortured, and beheaded for their faith in Jesus. They will be pressured to take the mark of the beast (or Antichrist) and worship the image of the beast (or Antichrist). Many can be expected to buckle under these pressures and turn away from Jesus to spare their own lives. But he that saves his life in this world, by turning from Jesus, shall lose his life for eternity.
33-GOD´S MESSAGE TO TODAY´S CHURCH, BUT MOST WILL NOT HEAR OR UNDERSTAND

3:22. HE THAT HATH AN EAR (or those who have ears), LET HIM HEAR WHAT THE SPIRIT SAITH (or is saying) UNTO THE CHURCHES. Ref Rev 22:16.
Mt 24:4. AND JESUS ANSWERED AND SAID UNTO THEM, TAKE HEED (or watch out) THAT NO MAN DECEIVE YOU.
Mk 13:5. AND JESUS ANSWERING THEM BEGAN TO SAY, TAKE HEED (or watch out) LEST ANY MAN DECEIVE YOU:
Lk 21:8. AND HE SAID, TAKE HEED (or watch out) THAT YE BE NOT DECEIVED.
Laodicea means "human rights" or "the rights of the people." Thus, this was a church governed by the will of the people, rather than the will of God. Laodicea was located on a trade route, about forty miles southeast of Philadelphia in the country known, today, as Turkey. Supposedly, it was named after Laodice, the wife of the Seleucid monarch, Antiochus II. It was a large, fortified city, constructed during the middle of the third century B.C. Laodicea produced a fine black wool from the local sheep. It boasted a medical school, which produced a well-known eye medicine, called "Phrygian powder." (Laodicea was the capital of Phrygia.) Water was brought in by a special, approximately six mile long aqueduct system from nearby cities. Sunlight heated the water to lukewarm. The city was reportedly destroyed by an earthquake, about 34 years prior to John writing this letter but was rebuilt. It had become a Christian city. Paul was very concerned over this church; as it is written, Col 2:1-FOR I WOULD THAT YE KNEW WHAT GREAT CONFLICT I HAVE FOR THEM AT LAODICEA. It may be said that Paul was very concerned about their spiritual condition. The city was later destroyed by the Moslems, during the Middle Ages, and abandoned; its desolate ruins remain today. These ruins apparently reveal a wealthy financial and commercial center with temples and theaters. Luxury and pride would seem to go hand in hand with such things.
2-SUMMARY OF THE LAODICEAN CHURCH
There are eleven bad things and no good things mentioned of the Laodicean church in Rev 3:14-22. It seems this church has forgotten that Jesus is the ultimate Authority, He is true, and He is the true Judge. They have forgotten that He is faithful, He is God Almighty, and He created all things. It is the most heavily rebuked and deceived church in the history of the church age; however, it sees itself as "the best." It is the only church of the seven in which the entire church will be spit out (rejected).
This church is described as lukewarm, indifferent, not concerned with right and wrong, or with good and evil. They take a neutral position: one of "live and let live; don´t rock the boat; and don´t cause waves." They are trying to serve two masters - God and self (or the world). They are positive they are right. At best, their understanding of God´s Word, obedience, sin, repentance, and the fruits of the Spirit, is only lukewarm.
It is the worst of all the seven churches, yet the most confident. They claim they are rich, increased with goods, and have need of nothing; however, God judges them to be wretched, which is the result of having no faith or faith like a wave. It comes from a lack of truth, sound doctrine, and understanding. They are miserable, tossed about with all kinds of incorrect doctrines, which come in like the wind from every direction. They are poor in wisdom, in knowledge, in faith, and in the Word of God. They are not zealous for the truth, but are blind to their true condition and to Satan´s schemes. They think their condition is just the opposite of what it really is. They gather around themselves teachers that say what their selfishness, emotions, and deceived hearts want to hear. They are shamefully naked. They do not have on the white garments of righteousness, but are clothed with the black wool of deceit, which is no clothing at all. This church is shown to be naked, but they do not know these things. They are positive they are saved, but are positively wrong. THE FOOL RAGETH, AND IS CONFIDENT-Pv 14:16. One of the most appalling aspects of this church is, they are totally ignorant of all these things. They are unaware of their true spiritual condition. They are, sometimes, willingly ignorant. They are sometimes so deceived and blind that they do not even recognize that the letter to the church of the Laodiceans is actually a letter to them. As a result, they do not seek to change or repent. It may be said, these are people that go to church, sing spiritual songs, pray to God, and then Monday through Saturday live as if Jesus does not exist. They behave as if they will never have to face the judgment.
Laodiceans are told to buy of Jesus gold that is refined by the fire. They are told to anoint their eyes with ointment, so they can see their true spiritual condition as God sees it. The Lord appears to be admonishing them to be zealous for the things of
God´s wisdom, knowledge, and truth and to hate every evil way. He is telling them to repent.
Jesus is shown outside the door of this church, not inside. He is depicted as knocking on the door of the church and on the individual´s heart, but the Laodiceans do not want to let Him in. They do not want to be shown they are wrong and will perish. They do not want to see their true blind and wretched condition. They do not want correction or truth. Often, ministers, churches, and ministries focus more on getting money and more people, rather than on humbleness, brokenness, and good sound doctrine.
This is a description of the last church is the worst of all, in which the entire church is described as being spit out (or perishing). This is a description of the most confident church of them all, yet it is the most deceived church that has ever existed; however, they do not know or understand it. This is the description of today´s church. The verses on the Laodicean church are in perfect harmony with many other verses that tell how the times would be, leading up to the Tribulation.
We would all do well to heed the words of Jesus: HE THAT HATH AN EAR, LET HIM HEAR WHAT THE SPIRIT SAITH UNTO THE CHURCHES-Rev 3:22.
3-TODAY´S CHURCH
This is the church age from which the Antichrist will emerge. It is the church age Paul talked about that would not endure sound doctrine, but would gather around them teachers that would say what their ITCHING EARS wanted and desired to hear-ref 2 Tim 4:3. Jesus was asked about the sign of His coming. The first thing He said was, TAKE HEED THAT NO MAN DECEIVE YOU-Mt 24:4; ref Mk 13:5; Lk 21:8. Before Jesus warned about wars and rumors of wars; before He related about famines, earthquakes, and diseases; before He told about the Gospel being published among all nations, He warned about the age of religious deception that would come. This is that church age. In the history of the seven churches, there has never been a church age so filled with deceptive doctrines and ideas, yet so totally ignorant of its true condition. In the church of Sardis (the "dead" church), there were a FEW NAMES that had not defiled their garments-ref Rev 3:4. However, in the Laodicean church age, there does not appear to be even a "few" that are not blind and naked.
This is very much in harmony with the Scriptures relating to the coming of the Lord being as in the days of Noah, wherein FEW souls were saved. Despite the overwhelming witness of God´s Word, regarding this church, they are in total ignorance of the truth, often preaching just the opposite.
Today´s church is full of deception; it will perish. However, there are well-known Bible teachers who think that more than fifty percent of Americans are born-again. It is a church where people are entertained and made to feel good, instead of falling upon their knees in godly sorrow for sin. It is a church age for laughing rather than for crying. It is a church age of saying a sinner´s prayer and believing a person is saved, even though afterward there is absolutely no evidence of repentance, the fruits of the Spirit, doing the will of God, or the fruits of the works of God. In some cases, the preachers know these things, but will not tell their congregations the truth. Some are afraid that people might leave their church and go elsewhere. They love the praise of men more than the praise of God. Having lots of unsaved or lukewarm people means more to them than having a few hot, spiritual people. It is a church that finds time to do all manner of things, but does not find time to humbly dwell in and study God´s Word as if their life depended on it.
It is the church age when thousands of Christian preachers may preside daily over funerals declaring that the deceased person is now in heaven when, in reality, he is screaming, tormented in the flames of hell. When have you ever heard a preacher say at a funeral that the deceased person went to hell? The Bible clearly shows that only a few are truly saved by the grace of God; however, if one would listen to the preachers at funerals, it would seem that everyone goes to heaven.
The preaching, in many of today´s churches, consists of foolishness, jokes, storytelling, and teaching what pleases people, rather than God´s pure Word. They do not usually preach that THE THOUGHT OF FOOLISHNESS IS SIN-Pv 24:9. Some of the best comedians are behind the pulpits. Should a preacher, who gets the congregation laughing with jokes, then expect people to fall on their faces before God with conviction for sin and with tears of repentance? Is this the way Jesus preached? Did Jesus try to comfort those that came to hear Him with jokes, foolishness, or other antics to cause them to laugh?
The preaching, in many of today´s churches, consists of reading a few Bible verses; then the preacher talks about himself, his family, and other incidents that relate to the verses. The people learn very little about Jesus. They learn very little of the WORD OF GOD and of comparing the Word with the Word. On the other hand, they learn a great deal about the preacher, his children, his wife, his friends, things he has done, and so on. What a blind church age, when we teach what other people and other books say, but we ignore what God says in His Word! The milk of the Word is diluted with lots of water. They preach watered-down milk. A baby that receives only one part of milk, mixed with ten parts of water, will eventually die. The born-again Christian needs and desires the PURE SPIRITUAL MILK-1 Pe 2:2 NIV, that is not watered-down with other things. It is not man, but the Holy Spirit that opens a person´s heart to understand. So few seem to realize this. It is a church age where God´s Word is proclaiming, PREACH THE WORD-2 Tim 4:2. Jesus (the Word) is outside the church knocking, yet who has ears to hear?
What a blind church age it is! Jesus is about to return; many biblical signs testify to this fact. Nevertheless, many churches will not teach Bible prophecy. Even though much of the Bible pertains to prophecy, it is often ignored. Many churches teach on love, but exhibit no love toward other born-again people outside of their own local church. Many churches think they can see how blind other churches are, but fail to see how blind they themselves are.
Many Bible schools and churches teach this way; afterward, they wipe their mouth and say, "I have done no wrong." In their blindness, they fulfill the Laodicean prophecies. It is very common to find church members that say they follow Christ, but are involved in every sort of sin imaginable. Many of these same people hold positions of authority. They may oversee the church´s business affairs, including the hiring and dismissing of pastors, yet they, themselves, are spiritually dead and ignorant of God´s Word. The church has been infected with leaven (false doctrine), which has grown like a cancer, reaching to the very core. The entire church is infected and sick, but does not know it.
In today´s church, some missionaries think that many in Africa shall be raptured; it is estimated that eighty percent of the African couples that are living together are not even married, when viewed in light of God´s Word. Some just move in together. Others may pay part of a dowry, or say they will pay it, and then set up housekeeping and have children. They live in fornication, yet believe they are married. (Marriage customs vary somewhat from nation to nation, or from tribe to tribe.) Many of these are professing Christian preachers. Many other "so-called" Christian preachers have several wives. In addition, many of the churches are divided against each other; bickering has led to further splits and even hatred.
In India, the woman or parents of the woman may pay for her husband, which is very contrary to the Bible. This practice instills a concept completely foreign to God´s Word. It was Jesus Who gave His life for His bride. We love Him, because He first loved us. He gave His life for us. Often in India, when payment is not made, the husband may beat or kill his wife. Many Christian pastors in India and Africa are afraid to take a stand for what is right in the eyes of God´s Word, as they would be going against the traditions of the people. By doing this, they might suffer further persecutions. Many missionaries that go to these places are either ignorant of these things, or they choose to ignore them. In addition, some missionaries bring false doctrines and deceptions of the Laodicean age with them to the mission field and further deceive the people. It is wrong for Christians to partake of traditions that oppose the Word of God. It is also wrong for Christian pastors to permit these practices among the flock of which they have the oversight. To do so is sin and only serves to perpetuate the "leaven."
Murder, stealing, drugs, fornication, adultery, homosexuality, abortions, greed, materialism, swearing, hatred, and every manner of sin conceivable exists in America. Nevertheless, many of the unrepentant people that do these things attend church on Sunday as if they have done no wrong. At church, however, they seldom hear preaching against sin; they seldom hear the word "repent."
In many of the churches throughout the world, people sing, and sing, and sing, but know little of what God´s Word has to say. They know the words to many songs, but know little about Bible doctrine. It is very common, in some countries, to find pastors that may pray for hours a day, but spend only a few minutes reading God´s Word. They pray to a God they know very little about. Around the world, the church is in great blindness and is not aware of it. This is part of what Jesus prophesied would happen; it has come to pass. As birth pangs of a woman, it will continue to get worse until, finally, the trumpet sounds and Jesus calls those few faithful, fruit-bearing Christians home. The Laodicean Christians of this generation will be rejected (spit out) and left behind: most will continually refuse to believe this until it is too late.
The truth of much of God´s Word (Jesus) has been abandoned and rejected by this church age. As Jesus is seen standing outside of His church knocking on the door, so the Laodiceans will be left out of heaven, except they repent. Can you clearly see these things? Very few can. Consider EPAPHRAS...A SERVANT OF CHRIST...HE HATH A GREAT ZEAL FOR YOU, AND THEM THAT ARE IN LAODICEA-Col 4:12,13.
4-SPIRITUAL WARFARE
As we carefully study the seven churches, we note that Satan has tried bringing great persecutions in the past; these did not destroy the church. Satan has tried using less persecutions and more false doctrine mixed with the truth; this worked more effectively. Satan is using prosperity, selfishness, false doctrine, and lukewarm preaching mixed with the truth; this has almost destroyed the church. This is the Laodicean church.
It needs to be repeated that there is not one good thing mentioned about the Laodicean church from the words of Jesus.
Information on the Laodicean church (Rev 3:14-22):
- A lukewarm church that will be spit out
- The approximate period represented is from 1948 to the Rapture (many others believe the time is from 1917 to the Rapture)
- Three descriptions of Jesus
- No good things
- Eleven bad things
- One warning
- Four items of advice on what to do and why
- Six reasons to follow God´s advice
- Two items of what Jesus is doing
- Two "ifs"
- Three promises
- One reward
REV 3:14. AND UNTO THE ANGEL OF THE CHURCH OF THE LAODICEANS WRITE. Once again, John is told to write.
THESE THINGS SAITH (or are the words of). Next the subject turns to Jesus. The verse addresses Him as,
5-DESCRIPTIONS OF JESUS
1. THE AMEN.
2. THE FAITHFUL AND TRUE WITNESS.
3. THE BEGINNING OF THE CREATION OF GOD.
As with the other six churches, the descriptions of Jesus tell something about this particular church age. These descriptions often convey a message to the church of things that may be lacking or have been forgotten. The "AMEN" means, "so be it, it is true." This is reminding the church that Jesus is sovereign, He is true, He is everything. Jesus is the final Word, the true Judge, and the ultimate Authority. He is God Almighty. This "truth" has been largely rejected in the Laodicean church age.
Jesus is the "FAITHFUL AND TRUE WITNESS." LET GOD BE TRUE, BUT EVERY MAN A LIAR-Ro 3:4. The church is being reminded that Jesus is faithful. Jesus is the true Witness. His Word is true. The church of the Laodiceans have forgotten this. Jesus presents Himself in this manner, as what He is about to say will conflict with the opinions that they have of themselves. Jesus is showing that what He will say is true, and what they say and think is wrong. This "truth" has also been largely rejected by the Laodicean church age.
The church is being reminded that Jesus is the "BEGINNING OF THE CREATION OF GOD"-Rev 3:14. Some forget the words, FOR BY HIM WERE ALL THINGS CREATED-Col 1:16; GOD, WHO CREATED ALL THINGS BY JESUS CHRIST-Eph 3:9. Satan´s deceptive theory of evolution is now widely accepted as truth, and the truth that God created all things has been laid aside, rejected by much of the Laodicean church age.
REV 3:15. This verse begins with a series of words that are repeated in each of the churches´ I KNOW THY WORKS (or deeds). This is addressed to the church, in general, as well as the individual. God knows the works of His people, things done both in the open and in secret. If this would be counted as a good point, then one good point would be listed for this church; however, the description of the works of this church are all unacceptable. Jesus is showing, clearly, no good or acceptable works come forth from this church.
6-GOOD THINGS
None.
7-BAD THINGS
1. THAT THOU ART NEITHER COLD NOR HOT. Then Jesus makes a comment,
I WOULD THOU WERT COLD OR HOT (I wish you were either one or the other!-NIV). If a person is cold, he can sometimes be reached for Jesus. On the other hand, Jesus would prefer that His servants were "hot."
3:16.
2. SO THEN BECAUSE THOU ART LUKEWARM, AND NEITHER COLD NOR HOT. Consider the nature of something lukewarm. A cup of cold water can be very satisfying-ref Mt 10:42. A cup of hot tea or some other beverage can also be very satisfying and taste delicious. But a cup of lukewarm water or lukewarm tea can be very unappealing; it may taste so bad, a person may want to spit it out. This describes the Laodicean church age.
It was the cold, spiritual atmosphere of the church in England that motivated John Wesley to begin his own meetings. It was the coldness of the Methodist Church that caused William Booth to become "on fire" for the Lord. God wants His people to be "hot" in knowledge and in zeal for Him. However, if this is not the case, then He would prefer them to be cold. When one is cold, it is clear-cut; this distinction can eventually lead some to want to be hot. However, the lukewarm often do not recognize their condition or seek to change as the cold do. They are deceived, but confident they will not perish and are usually comfortable in the world.
Many of today´s churches, in America, are a type of social club. They have committees, lots of programs, recreation areas, entertainment, paid singers, and comedians. There are many things to lure a person in and to please the carnal nature and flesh. Soulwinning is like a business. There are many types of crusades and "revivals"; however, few generate true conviction for sin, where people are driven to their knees, confessing their sins, denying themselves, and crying out in brokenness over their wickedness. Revivals, in this lukewarm generation, seldom spark desire within one to be so hungry for Jesus that he turns off the TV and sets aside other activities to spend hours a day studying God´s Word and humbly seeking Him in prayer. And if one does come to Jesus, he may be quickly "cooled off," as he is surrounded by his friends, relatives, local churches, radio and television preachers, who may bring forth a lukewarm message of compromise, deceit, and truth intermixed. The, perhaps, "one out of a thousand preachers" that he might hear, who brings forth sound doctrine, is often quickly discredited by everyone around him. Thus, lukewarm becomes the accepted way of truth, and sound doctrine is viewed as the way of deceit in the seventh and last church age. Whether it is the large cathedral, or the small church with a grass roof, or the hidden house church—lukewarm is the church of this generation. Many have pride in the fact that they have a new building, or more people, or more children. Others have pride that they have gotten many to say a sinner´s prayer, even though, afterwards, not one may have shown any evidence of denying himself, taking up his CROSS DAILY, and following Jesus-ref Lk 9:23.
Today´s church seems to think that more finances and things to attract the carnal nature will convert the world. True conversion comes through the work of the Holy Spirit. The Laodicean church is centered on "self" rather than on Jesus. It lures with promises of miracles, healings, prosperity, good times, fellowship, and friends. The Laodicean church seldom tells people that if they decide to follow Jesus, the biblical way, they can expect problems, persecutions, the loss of their friends, ridicule, false accusations, their name dragged through the mud, and their families to forsake them. They are not told that they may get very sick, enduring much pain and anguish. They are not informed how Satan will tempt them, or that they could lose everything they possess. They are unaware that many of the traditions that they are following of their church, country, tribe, etc. are an abomination to God. They are seldom told, by any preacher, how blind and wretched this Laodicean church age is.
Of the few, true Christians that do exist, no matter what they go through, Jesus will be with them.
Jesus described the Laodicean church as lukewarm. The lukewarm are confident they are correct and righteous. Their confidence is so deeply rooted that it is nearly impossible to reach them with the truth. Lukewarmness comes from mixing both hot and cold. They are not cold toward the things of God, but neither are they hot. They are content, apathetic, indifferent. They are not truly concerned with what is right and wrong or what is good and evil. Within the Laodicean church is the prevailing attitude of "live and let live; don´t rock the boat; don´t cause waves; it will all turn out O.K." They are taking a neutral position. They are trying to serve God, but are also trying to please men. They are serving two masters and justify their position. They are serving God, and they are serving "self." They are serving God, and they are serving the world. This is totally unacceptable with God. Remember, the name "Laodicea" means "the rights of the people." Their knowledge and understanding of God, His Word, and of these things is, at best, only lukewarm. Their obedience, love, fruits of the Spirit, and works are, at best, only lukewarm. Their daily conversation may be centered on both the things of the world and the things of God. They are like a wave. They are carnal and have not denied themselves. They are not fully following Jesus, though they are usually sure they are. Jesus is in their life, but He is not the center of their life. Their life revolves around things of the world and worldly circumstances; Jesus is only a part. They have need of milk (basic doctrines) and not meat (perfection). They are not ready for the doctrine of perfection and holiness. Their thoughts are divided between Jesus and the things of the world. Laodiceans want to maintain a level of control over their lives; they will trust Jesus only to a point. They do not have the understanding that Jesus is in control when very difficult situations come against them; their knowledge is lukewarm. At best, their understanding of who is saved, by the grace of God, and who is not saved is only lukewarm. It may be said, they do not fully comprehend the strait gate and narrow way.
Their teaching may consist of some sound doctrine mixed with confusion, false doctrine, deceit, doctrines of men and denominations, new fads, or other distortions of Scripture that come along. They may have a great church complex, a magnificent choir, large attendance, much money coming in, a vast radio and television ministry, an extensive mailing list reaching multitudes with a monthly magazine, and many letters and telephone calls coming in. They may be claiming to have won many souls, but if the message being proclaimed is only lukewarm, then that is all they are. The following should be considered. Sound doctrine is disappearing; most people will not tolerate it. One might ask, "What would happen if sound doctrine was being taught?" The answer is found in the Scriptures. In the days of the apostles, sound doctrine was being taught in Laodicea; however, it was rejected. The Laodicean church was only lukewarm; this is unacceptable to God.
For those who may wonder if lukewarm is really so bad, Jesus gives the following warning.
8-WARNING
1. I WILL SPEW (or spit) THEE OUT OF MY MOUTH. The entire Laodicean church will be spit out and perish. There will be such a small number from this church that will repent, not even the word "few" is used as it was in the "dead" church of Sardis. The lukewarm will not be taken when the Rapture comes.
9-BAD THINGS
3:17.
3. BECAUSE THOU SAYEST (or because you say), I AM RICH. Laodicea was prosperous, and the church had taken the same attitude. This church considered itself rich and increased with goods. Indeed, throughout much of the world today, there are large, beautiful church buildings. Even in poorer countries that do not have these nice facilities, many believe the success of their ministry depends upon getting financial help from abroad, rather than trusting in Jesus and waiting upon Him. Jesus is showing the focus of this church and what they are saying is wrong.
4. The church also is saying, I AM INCREASED WITH GOODS (or I have acquired wealth). So much emphasis is placed upon prosperity.
5. AND HAVE NEED OF NOTHING. They are centered on "self." They are satisfied. They are content.
Laodicea is a proud church that sees itself as a good and spiritually sound institution with no needs. In many countries, the Laodicean churches seemingly prosper in their organization, in material assets, in university degrees, in attendance, in offerings, in paid staff, and in volunteer workers. Never in church history has there been so many Bible schools and universities. Never has the church owned so much property; spent so much money; had so many books, programs, guest speakers, radio and television ministries; broadcasted on short-wave radio around the entire world; had so much material wealth, yet been so spiritually bankrupt. In Rev 3:20, the Lord Jesus Christ, Himself, stands outside knocking at the door.
This is today´s church, the most deceived of all seven. It is filled with all sorts of half truths and distorted doctrines. It sees itself totally different than what it really is. It is so blind and deceived, it does not even understand that these passages, in Rev 3:14-22, are written directly to them. These passages are for all of us, right now.
6. AND KNOWEST NOT THAT THOU ART (or you do not realize) (or you don´t know that you are the one who is-JNT121). Jesus is showing this church believes what they are saying, yet there are things they do not know. Jesus is showing that they are not in the light as they think they are, but are in darkness, unable to see their true condition. This church is portrayed as having a terminal illness, yet are unaware of it. They do not understand they are going to die and perish. They are completely deceived. Jesus continues by revealing what the true condition of this church is. It is,
7. WRETCHED
8. AND MISERABLE (or pitiful)
9. AND POOR
10. AND BLIND
11. AND NAKED
Jesus is showing that this is the worst church, yet they are the most confident. The condition of this church is a reflection of the Bible schools, and what is being preached from the pulpits, and what is being taught by the missionaries, and what is in the people´s hearts. They are "wretched," but they do not know it. Being wretched comes from no faith, lukewarm faith, or faith like a wave. It comes from a lack of truth and understanding. It comes from being taught a form of the milk of God´s Word, which is so diluted by other things mixed in with it, that people are no longer standing upon the Rock of truth. People are standing upon truth and deceit mixed together. This is a church that hears lukewarm preaching and comes away empty and unfulfilled, yet is in such darkness that it is content; it does not even know it is wretched. This word appears only one other time in the New Testament. It is in Ro 7:24, where Paul describes himself, by saying, "O WRETCHED MAN THAT I AM." Unlike Paul, the Laodicean church cannot recognize its condition.
They are "miserable" (or pitiful), but do not know it. This is the result of being wretched they are tossed about with all kinds of doctrines that come in like the wind from all directions. The truth has been set aside to please people´s flesh. The popularity or charisma of the preacher often replaces the appeal of Jesus, which is the Word of God. They are "poor," but do not know it. They are poor in wisdom, in knowledge, in faith, and in understanding the Word of God. They are not zealous for the truth. They are "blind," but they do not know it. They are blind regarding God´s Word, in salvation, in repentance, in discerning fruit, in who is saved, in understanding what Satan is doing, and in recognizing the falling away that is happening and has already happened. Many preach revival is coming, which is just the opposite of falling. Their guard against the schemes of the devil is down, when it should be up. They think they can stamp Satan under their feet, when, in reality, Satan is stamping them under his feet, and they do not know it. They are trying to see the great moves of God and are not understanding the moves of the adversary. They call deceit, truth and truth, deceit. In these things they are blind, which means they do not see or understand these things. Yet they are positive their condition is rich and increased with goods they think they need nothing. Many preachers also think they are rich in knowledge, as they proudly display their college degrees on the wall of their office and have shelves filled with hundreds of books "about" the Bible. Their large church, or the many churches that are under their control, or their vast ministry seems to testify that they are spiritually in the light. Yet God´s Word said that this church is blind. They teach the gifts of the Spirit, but do not teach or demonstrate the fruits of the Spirit. God´s Word teaches water baptism by full immersion (ref Ro 6:4; Col 2:12), and Jesus disciples spent much time baptizing people; yet some of today´s churches teach against water baptism. Others argue that sprinkling baptism is the right way, and some baptize in the name of Jesus only. However, Jesus taught, clearly, BAPTIZING THEM IN THE NAME OF THE FATHER, AND OF THE SON, AND OF THE HOLY GHOST: TEACHING THEM TO OBSERVE (or obey) ALL THINGS WHATSOEVER I HAVE COMMANDED YOU-Mt 28:19,20. Many do not even teach that we are to obey God´s Word and keep His commandments. They teach about the love of God, but do not teach that the evidence of a person´s love for God is demonstrated by, IF YE LOVE "ME," KEEP MY COMMANDMENTS-Jn 14:15.
They are "naked" and do not know it. Nakedness reveals a person´s condition. They are exposed. They have no clothing on. Their condition is shameful. They think they are covered by grace but are not. Spiritual nakedness denotes no covering. It illustrates that they are not covered with God´s Word, with wisdom, knowledge, and understanding. They are not covered with the blood of Jesus by true faith that is evidenced by what they do. As it is written, FAITH WITHOUT WORKS (or actions) IS DEAD-Ja 2:20. Their covering is deceit. They know not that they are naked and walking in lukewarmness. They know not that they shall perish.
This church may think highly of itself, but its wretched condition is naked before God.
10-ADVICE ON WHAT TO DO
3:18. I COUNSEL THEE (or My advice to you is-JNT122)
1. TO BUY OF ME GOLD TRIED (or refined) IN THE FIRE.
The Laodicean church has gold, but it is the wrong kind. The purchase of the gold must come from Jesus. This is not regular gold but refined gold (Jesus, the Word of God). This is the righteousness that comes from faith.
2. AND ANOINT (or rub) THINE EYES WITH EYESALVE.
Because this church is spiritually blind, they are being admonished to use eyesalve, so their blindness might be cured. They do not have correct spiritual discernment. Their understanding of their condition is opposite of the truth. This would indicate that Satan´s deceptions in this church are great, which explains why Jesus said, TAKE HEED THAT NO MAN DECEIVE YOU-Mt 24:4. This church did not love truth.
3:19.
3. BE ZEALOUS (or be earnest) (or exert yourselves-JNT123) THEREFORE,
4. AND REPENT (or turn from your sins).
The message is clear to this church. First, believe all of God´s Word. Believe what He is saying to this church. Then follow what Jesus said to do. Obey the Gospel. Put on eyesalve that you may see and understand. Be zealous and repent.
11-REASONS TO FOLLOW GOD´S ADVICE
3:18.
1. THAT THOU MAYEST BE RICH. The richness here is not earthly wealth, but is the richness that comes from faith. Through faith we overcome and inherit all things. The second church, Smyrna, had much poverty in the world, but they were RICH-Rev 2:9. The Laodicean church has worldly riches but lukewarm faith. It is written, WHEN THE SON OF MAN COMETH, SHALL HE FIND FAITH ON THE EARTH?-Lk 18:8.
2. AND WHITE RAIMENT (or white clothes to wear). The white raiment is the righteousness of the saints, which is received through faith in Jesus Christ. The Laodicean church is not clothed with white raiment. Any clothing other than this white raiment, only results in nakedness.
3. THAT THOU MAYEST BE CLOTHED (or may be dressed).
4. AND THAT THE SHAME OF THY NAKEDNESS DO NOT APPEAR (or so you can cover your shameful nakedness-NIV). This church is naked; it has no clothing on. It is clothed with deceit, which is no clothing at all. The nakedness of this church is clear only to a few in this generation. It is shameful.
5. THAT THOU MAYEST SEE (or so you can see). Only through anointing the eyes with eyesalve, can one hope to see and understand one´s condition. The Bible says to examine ourselves. This is done by denying ourselves and humbly and honestly looking at ourselves in light of "all" of God´s Word.
3:19.
6. AS MANY AS I LOVE (or those whom I love),
I REBUKE AND CHASTEN (or discipline). Because of Jesus love, He will rebuke and chasten that we might not perish. Thus, we are admonished to "be zealous therefore and repent."
If a lukewarm Christian will not obey God´s warning, he is without hope. He shall not be taken in the Rapture. He shall perish. Only a few will heed God´s warning, for the prophecy must be fulfilled.
12-WHAT JESUS IS DOING
3:20. The invitation that Jesus offers may apply to any person; however, here, it is an invitation given to the Laodicean church and to the individual that believes on Jesus Christ but is only lukewarm.
1. BEHOLD, I STAND AT THE DOOR. A church is an assembly of believers. Individuals make up the church. Jesus is illustrating a very sad picture of the Laodicean church. He is standing outside of "His" church, not inside. It is the people´s church. Laodicea means "human rights" or "the rights of the people." They do not want to let Jesus (the Word) rule over them. They want to rule themselves. This church is described, outwardly, as being prosperous and having many goods, yet Jesus is on the outside, not on the inside. It is incredible that this church is completely ignorant of its true condition. Thousands of churches are on radio and television. They send out missionaries around the world. They preach Jesus, but He is on the outside. They do not understand this. Multitudes write books about the Bible and their own life´s experiences with God, but Jesus is still on the outside, knocking on the door, saying, "Let Me in." They do not understand. As they will not let Jesus in, neither will He let them in at the judgment. Churches sing and sing about Jesus and worship Him. They are involved in all sorts of Christian service. A person may ask, "How, then, can Jesus be on the outside of the church?" The answer can be summed up in this way - self and worldliness. Following Rev 3:22, there should be a message from God´s Word to consider on this subject.
2. AND KNOCK (or here, I´m standing at the door, knocking-JNT124). Jesus is knocking on the door of "His" church. The people inside are, undoubtedly, singing about Jesus; they may even be worshiping and praying to Him. Nevertheless, Jesus may not be in their hearts. God´s Word has not found a place in them to dwell and grow.
Yet Jesus continues to knock. He knocks on the door of people´s hearts, as if to say, "Let Me in."
1. IF ANY MAN HEAR MY VOICE. Jesus is talking to the individual.
2. AND OPEN THE DOOR. To the individual that will hear the voice of Jesus and open the door of his heart, Jesus promises,
13-PROMISES
1. I WILL COME IN TO HIM,
2. AND WILL SUP (or eat)
WITH HIM,
3. AND HE (will)
WITH ME. The door cannot be opened by Jesus, but must be opened by the one that hears His voice. He that hears and understands God´s Word must respond by opening his heart to Jesus. To this person that responds, these promises are given.
14-REWARDS
3:21. TO HIM THAT OVERCOMETH (or him who wins the victory-JNT125). We overcome by walking in faith. To him that overcomes the lukewarmness, the "not knowing" his true condition, the riches and needing nothing, and obeys the advice of Jesus. The verse continues, to him that overcomes,
1. WILL I GRANT (or give the right)
TO SIT WITH ME IN MY THRONE, EVEN (or just)
AS I ALSO OVERCAME, AND AM SET DOWN WITH MY FATHER IN HIS THRONE. Jesus is currently sitting at the right hand of God the Father. However, during the Millennium, Jesus will sit upon His own throne. We are to overcome, even as Jesus overcame; to those that do, the promise is given them to sit with Jesus in His throne.
3:22. HE THAT HATH AN EAR (or those who have ears),
LET HIM HEAR WHAT THE SPIRIT SAITH (or is saying)
UNTO THE CHURCHES.
Note the words of Rev 22:16:
I JESUS HAVE SENT MINE ANGEL TO
TESTIFY UNTO YOU
THESE THINGS IN THE CHURCHES.
There are many lukewarm, blind churches that will not teach these things in this Laodicean church age.
PROPHECIES CONCERNING THE TIMES WE ARE NOW LIVING IN
15-PROPHECIES CONCERNING THE CHURCH OF TODAY
- The last church age would be neither hot or cold, but lukewarm.
- The last church age would say they are rich.
- The last church age would say they are increased with goods.
- The last church age would say they have need of nothing.
- The last church age would be wretched, miserable, poor, blind, and naked.
- The last church age would not know they are wretched.

- The last church age, God´s ways and Word would be corrupted throughout the earth.
- The last church age would bring forth teachings of seducing spirits and doctrines of devils.
Without any question, the condition of the church before the Rapture reflects no revival. Instead, what is portrayed is a deceived church that does not know or understand its true blind and wretched condition.
16-FALSE CHRISTS AND FALSE PROPHETS BEFORE THE RAPTURE
Many will come professing to be Christ.
The false Christs shall deceive many.
Many false prophets shall come.
The false prophets shall deceive many.
The false Christs and false prophets shall show great signs, wonders, and miracles.
Without any question, these Scriptures reflect no revival, but rather deception.
17-HOW PEOPLE´S REACTION TO GOD´S WORD WOULD BE BEFORE THE RAPTURE
People would be ever learning but not able to understand the truth.
People would be willingly ignorant of the truth.
People would resist the truth.
These would be depraved, unprincipled, of corrupt minds.
People would not receive the love of the truth.
People would not endure sound doctrine.
People would turn away from God´s Word and follow things that are untrue.
People would forget that the world was destroyed by water.
People would gather around themselves teachers to say what they want to hear.
Without any question, these Scriptures reflect no revival. Instead, we see people resisting the truth, not enduring sound doctrine, and gathering around themselves preachers and teachers to say what they want to hear.
18-PEOPLE WOULD BE LEAVING THE FAITH, FALLING AWAY
Some would forsake the faith of Jesus Christ.
Some would fall away from the faith of Jesus Christ.
Some servants of God would begin to smite their fellow servants.
Some servants of God would begin to eat and drink with the drunken.
Without any question, these Scriptures reflect no revival. Rather they reflect the opposite of revival that of falling away from God´s Word. What is the opposite of falling away? It is revival. Could it be that Satan is concealing the truth of falling away with the lie of revival? Is it possible he has been so skillful at doing this that even some of the most respected Bible teachers have been deceived in this matter?
19-FALSE FORMS OF WORSHIP
Some that follow Jesus would turn and follow devils.
Some would worship devils.
Some would worship the work of their hands.
Some would worship idols of gold.
Some would worship idols of silver.
Some would worship idols of brass.
Some would worship idols of stone.
Some would worship idols of wood.
Without any question, these Scriptures reflect no revival, but rather people being greatly deceived.
20-SPEAKING AGAINST GOD
Ungodly sinners would speak against God. Definitely no revival indicated here.
21-SIN AND EVIL, HOW THE PEOPLE WOULD BE
People would be ungodly and doing ungodly deeds.
People would be unholy.
Women would be laden with sins.
The world would be increasingly evil.
Sin shall abound and increase.
The wickedness of the people would be great.
The transgressors or people´s wickedness would come to the full.
Without any question, these Scriptures reflect no revival. These show people becoming more and more sinful. All one has to do is compare how people were 40 years ago with how they are today, and these Scriptures are proven to be very true.
22-HOW THE PEOPLE WOULD BE OVERALL
People would not love God as much as pleasures.
People would have an outer form of godliness but denying Jesus.
People would be scoffers or mockers regarding the return of Jesus.
People would be questioning the promise of the coming of Jesus Christ.
Some of God´s people would say, "My Lord delayeth His coming."
Very few people would be following God´s ways and be saved.
Without any question, there is no evidence of revival here.
23-HOW THE CLERGY WOULD BE
Clergy would be lying.
Clergy would be committing adultery.
Clergy would be strengthening those who do evil, so that they do not repent.
Clergy would be saying, "I have dreamed."
Clergy would try to cause God´s people to forget His name.
Clergy would steal or repeat each other´s words.
Without any question, these Scriptures reflect no revival. Rather they portray the clergy becoming more and more deceived, more and more sinful.
24-PERTAINING TO KNOWING THE TIMES
The wicked shall not understand the latter days or time of the end.
Those that do not watch will not understand the time of the end.
Many will not understand in their heart that the coming of Jesus is very close.
Without any question, these Scriptures reflect no revival. They reflect a people that do not understand that the coming of the Lord is very near.
25-WHAT THE PEOPLE WOULD BE LIKE WITHIN THEMSELVES
People would have no conscience of doing wrong.
People would love themselves.
People would be covetous and lovers of money.

People would be walking after their own lusts.
People would be very worldly and controlled by their natural instincts and impulses.
Many people´s love would grow colder and colder.
People´s imaginations and thoughts would be evil continually.
Without any question, these Scriptures reflect no revival. They reflect a world that is getting further and further away from the truth of God´s Word.
26-WHAT PEOPLE WOULD BE LIKE TOWARD OTHERS: PEOPLE´S PERSONALITIES
- People would be hypocritical liars.
- People would be very boastful.
- People would falsely accuse one another.
- People would be insulting and abusive.
- People would be disobedient to their parents.
- People would be unthankful and ungrateful.
- People would be trucebreakers.
- People would be arrogant.
- People would be savage, violent, and cruel.
- People would be traitors.
- People would be rash, impetuous, reckless, and doing things with little thought.
- People would be murmuring and grumbling.
- People would be complaining and finding fault with others.

- People would kill the just, even when they do not resist.
- People would be committing murders.
- People would be stealing.
- People would try to cause divisions between the saints.
- People would betray one another.
- People would hate each other.
Without any question, these Scriptures reflect no revival. They reflect a world that is turning away from God and His Word.
27-PEOPLE WOULD BE FOLLOWING THESE SINFUL LIFESTYLES
- People would be homosexuals and lesbians.
- Many would have sex outside of marriage.
- People would be going after their own lusts.
- People would follow perversion.
- People would commit abominations.
Without any question, these Scriptures also reflect no revival. Rather they reflect a very deceived and perverted society.
28-PEOPLE WOULD BE GOING ABOUT BUSINESS AS USUAL, AS IF NOTHING WAS ABOUT TO HAPPEN
- People would be getting married, as if nothing was going to happen.
- People would still be giving away their offspring to be married.
- People would still be eating, as if nothing was going to happen.

- People would be selling things, as if nothing was going to happen.
- People would be planting, as if nothing was going to happen.
- People would be building, as if nothing was going to happen.
Without any question, these Scriptures reflect no revival. Rather they reflect people oblivious to the fact that Jesus will soon come to rapture the few people that are still following Him.
29-OTHER ITEMS ABOUT THE PEOPLE
- People would be overindulging.
- People would have an abundance.
- People would have lots of idle time.
- People would be taking drugs.
- Men would enter the houses of women to seduce them.
- People would be laying up wealth.
- People would be laying up gold and silver.
- People would be running to and fro (or going here and there).
- Employers would be holding back the wages of workers.
- The employers would hold back the wages by fraud.
- Those cheating the laborers would be living in pleasure and leading a life of self-indulgence.
- People would have filthy conversation.
- People would be doing things that are wrong or unlawful.
- People would be as those of Sodom and Gomorrah.
- People would not be hiding their sin.
Without any question, these Scriptures also reflect no revival. These picture people becoming more and more sinful. These picture people that are so corrupt that they do not even hide their sin. These reveal that people have no understanding of right and wrong according to God´s Word.
30-PEOPLE WOULD NOT BE DOING THIS
People would not be repenting in great numbers just before the Rapture. Many would not help the poor and needy.
Without any question, these Scriptures also reflect there will be no revival.
31-HOW THE WORLD WOULD BE REGARDING EVIL
The earth would be corrupt.|
The earth would be filled with violence.
The earth would have more and more totally uninhibited, senseless, violent, unreasonable people committing unspeakable acts.
Witchcraft, in various forms, would increase throughout the earth
Without any question, these Scriptures also reflect there will be no great revival. There will be no great true repentance prior to the Rapture.
From India to America, from America to Africa the voices ring out that revival is coming. From short wave radio, to the mud brick churches in third-world countries, to Christian television broadcasting, preachers are proclaiming, "Revival is coming." Several questions need to be asked:
Is a great revival going to come before the Rapture or not?
Is the statement that a great revival is coming before the Rapture based on Scripture, hope, or falsehood?
Has Satan deceived people regarding a great revival coming before the Rapture in order to hide a message that God has for His people? Read on - you might get a surprise.
32-PEOPLE FALLING AWAY FROM TRUE TRUST IN JESUS CHRIST: PEOPLE FALLING AWAY FROM THE TRUTH
People would fall away from the faith of Jesus Christ. Prophecy fulfilled-beginning around the 1960's or before and getting worse and worse to this current time. It is written, EXCEPT THERE COME A FALLING AWAY (or apostasy) FIRST-2 Thes 2:3. It is also written, AS THE DAYS OF NOAH WERE, SO SHALL ALSO THE COMING OF THE SON OF MAN BE-Mt 24:37. In Noah´s day, they also fell away. It is written, ALL FLESH HAD CORRUPTED HIS WAY UPON THE EARTH-Gen 6:12. There was no great revival in the days of Noah. It is also as in the days of Lot. It is written, LIKEWISE ALSO AS IT WAS IN THE DAYS OF LOT. EVEN THUS SHALL IT BE IN THE DAY WHEN THE SON OF MAN IS REVEALED-Lk 17:28,30. There was no great revival in the days of Lot. Rather, the people were corrupt and were not following God´s ways. They did not repent.
Many in this last generation have become a part of the apostasy. Many people have already fallen. It becomes so very clear when knocking on people´s doors to witness. Multitudes tell how they once were following Jesus, but they no longer are. Satan has very cleverly clouded the minds of many born-again people and clergy, so that the falling away that has already happened is not recognized by very many. The apostasy (the falling away from Jesus) will continue to get worse and worse until that day comes when the trumpet shall blow. Then the very few saints, who have remained faithful, shall be raptured. It will be as Noah´s day was. Few were saved and escaped the flood. It will be as Lot´s day was. Few were saved and escaped the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah. This prophecy is fulfilled.
The Scripture clearly shows this is the age of deception and falling. What would be the opposite of falling? The answer is revival. If Satan would desire to hide the fact that many are falling, then the opposite can be expected to be taught. Thus, the falling away is seldom taught. In its place, the deception of a revival before the Rapture is taught. Thus, the people are looking for revival and are not on their guard against the schemes of the devil.
Many well-known, highly esteemed evangelists and ministers are teaching this deception. "Revival coming" is what multitudes of itching ears want to hear, even though it is not true. The next worldwide revival will be during the Tribulation; however, many will not get saved, as they have no knowledge of these things. Those that do get saved, during that horrible time, can expect to flee for their lives. They can expect to be betrayed by people they trust, ridiculed, beaten, tortured, and beheaded for their faith in Jesus. They will be pressured to take the mark of the beast (or Antichrist) and worship the image of the beast (or Antichrist). Many can be expected to buckle under these pressures and turn away from Jesus to spare their own lives. But he that saves his life in this world, by turning from Jesus, shall lose his life for eternity.
33-GOD´S MESSAGE TO TODAY´S CHURCH, BUT MOST WILL NOT HEAR OR UNDERSTAND
Rev 3:14. AND UNTO THE ANGEL OF THE CHURCH OF THE LAODICEANS WRITE; THESE THINGS SAITH (or are the words of) THE AMEN, THE FAITHFUL AND TRUE WITNESS, THE BEGINNING OF THE CREATION OF GOD. Ref Col 1:16; Mk 13:19; Eph 3:9.

BECAUSE THOU SAYEST (or because you say), I AM RICH, AND INCREASED WITH GOODS (or I have acquired wealth-NIV), AND HAVE NEED OF NOTHING; AND KNOWEST NOT THAT THOU ART (or you do not realize) (or you don’t know that you are the one who is-JNT121) WRETCHED, AND MISER-ABLE (or pitiful), AND POOR, AND BLIND, AND NAKED. Ref Pv 24:12; 2 Thes 2:3; Jere 23:1,2,16-38; 1 Tim 6:3-5; Mk 7:6-9,13; Ezek 34:1-12.
