"The 2nd Half of Daniel's 70th Week"

The 2nd Half of Daniel’s 70th Week

  1. The Great Tribulation starts in the middle of this prophetic week. In Revelation, the 4th Seal (sword, famine, and plague/pestilence) is opened. The 2 witnesses begin their ministry. The anti-christ commits the abomination of desolation, when he declares himself to be God. The Remnant of Israel, who will eventually be grafted back in and saved, is protected for 3 ½ years (Revelation 12:14 The woman was given the two wings of a great eagle, so that she might fly to the place prepared for her in the desert, where she would be taken care of for a time, times and half a time, out of the serpent’s reach).
  2. When the 5th Seal is opened, the saints are persecuted and killed for a season. Nevertheless, they mightily go forth and preach the gospel to the ends of the whole earth in order to fulfill the Great Commission in the full power of the Holy Spirit as foretold in Joel 2:28-30 And afterward I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your old men will dream dreams; your young men will see visions. Even on my servants, both men and women, I will pour out my Spirit in those days. I will shows wonders in the heavens and on the earth, blood and fire and billows of smoke. The Church will finally become the Bride without spot or wrinkle (Revelation 19:7-8 …His bride has made herself ready. Fine linen, bright and clean, was given her to wear. {Fine linen stands for the righteous acts of the saints.} and will thus be ready to meet the Lord in the air.
  3. When the 6th Seal is opened, the sun turns black, the moon blood red, and the stars fall from the skies. (Revelation 6:12-13) and (Joel 2:31 The sun will be turned to darkness and the moon to blood before the coming of the great and dreadful Day of the LORD). This celestial manifestation signals the awaited Day of the Lord. The Rapture takes place, which is the great multitude seen in heaven, who has come out of the Great Tribulation (Revelation 7). The Christians are raptured, because we are not appointed unto His Wrath. In 1Thessalonians 1:10, we are told by Paul to wait for His Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead-Jesus, who rescues us from the coming Wrath. The Day of the Lord is also known as the Day of His Wrath or Vengeance (Isaiah 63:4 For the Day of Vengeance (Wrath) was in my heart, and the year of my redemption (Rapture) has come).
  4. The unsaved cry out to the mountains and the rocks and say, fall on us and hide us from the face of him who sits on the throne and from the Wrath of the Lamb! For the great day of their Wrath has come, and who can stand? (Revelation 6:16-17) The 7th Seal is opened. This commences His Wrath and Vengeance upon the unsaved for a period of one year (Isaiah 34:8 For the LORD has a Day of Vengeance, a year of retribution, to uphold Zion’s cause.); but, not on the 144,000, who have been sealed and will eventually be redeemed from the earth and the Remnant of Israel, who is being protected for the entire 3 ½ years. The 7th Seal contains the 7 Trumpet Judgments and the 7 Bowl Judgments. Actually, the 7th Trumpet contains the 7 Bowl Judgments. After this, Jesus comes back as King of Kings and Lord of Lords with the heavenly army to the Mount of Olives for the Battle of Armageddon. The anti-christ and false prophet are captured and cast into the Lake of Fire. The 1,000 year period commences after this.

A Vision Of A Hellbound Pastor

A Vision in the Office 6-1-04

It was 2:30 AM and I couldn’t sleep, so I decided to go downstairs to my office and see if I could write an article on some things that had been on my mind. My mind however just drew a blank, so I decided to lie for a while on the couch in the office. It was then that I begin to hear from the voice I know so well. But before sharing it this with you I should warn you that most of it might sound like an over active imagination of one who stays on top of current events around the world. In fact, God and I have had a serious conversation if I should say this was a vision. But God has clearly instructed me to tell others what I have seen, so here it is, you are the judge.

God spoke to me and said I have found your heart and efforts pleasing but you still have much to learn and I will teach you many things about my Church. The time is very near when panic and chaos will grip the hearts of men and many will die from the fear of what they are seeing. The things you are about to see are for you to tell those who will listen. It was a Mall, where I am not sure but there were dead and wounded bodies scattered over a large area and as soon as I saw this I was in a different place looking down on a large gathering of a sporting event. Many were already dead and others were gasping for their breath and dying even as I looked at them. One man spoke to me, saying they have already destroyed our economy by cutting off the oil, now they want to kill all of us. I thought I’d keep seeing this type of disaster but to my surprise I found myself in a Church, judging from the interior and the looks and sounds I thought it must be a Baptist Church. As I sit there in the presence of God unable to speak I heard the Pastor give a short glib standard salvation message, and I watched the people who were frightened and unable to understand why all this was happening to them. Many were destitute without food and no way to purchase any. One man interrupted the Pastor and said why haven’t you prepared us, why haven’t you warned us? The Pastor begins to cry and the people got up and left him standing behind the pulpit. It was then I noticed an amazing thing, the Pastor fell to the floor and he was dead. Then we were in a city center and I watched as people were looting and screaming obscenities at each other. Some were shooting and arm robbing the ones that had just stolen the goods from the store just moments before. I looked at the Bank and it was closed and people were trying to get in but the doors were locked. There were military troops on the streets of the larger cities and they were shooting people with impunity, no one could believe what was happening. As they ran almost aimlessly in pure panic, we followed one man to his home. He greeted his wife and two small children with, I didn’t do any good, and I don’t know what we are going to do now. He sits and turned on the TV and the news about Israel was on. Israel was under heavy attack and they had already destroyed Damascus. It was believed that many missiles were on the way from Iran. Egypt had launched a full-scale attack and it was feared that Syria had launched missiles with chemical and biological warheads. I turned to God and said you promised that Israel will not be destroyed again, but He reminded me that it wasn’t the end of the story and to wait and see His Word come to pass. Looking back at the TV it showed how suicide bombers had killed many all over the country and everyone was frightened to the point of not knowing where to turn for help. It was then God showed me Believers who had bonded together and had a pastor who had prepared them, their love for each other was obvious and many were coming to them for help. But even more important many were being drawn to them as their love was a witness for Yeshua. I ask God why more Pastors haven’t prepared the Believers, and He told me that they have been desensitized by Y2K and felt they couldn’t tell them to prepare again. But those Pastors who knew to prepare their congregations and did not will wish they had never knew Me; I will tell them I never knew them. It was then God said to me, "only those who truly know Me would overcome and witness My great salvation, for all Temporal things will perish but those born of the Spirit will see Eternal Life." I then ask God what would He have me to do? God told me then, that I was to continue on the task set before me and not to look back, that many would be saved. End of Vision, like I said you be the judge. Shalom, Jerry Golden
