“The Walls Will Be Empty Before the War”:
The walls will be empty in the days of the wars, for those who are Earth-dwellers…the gates inside the fortress…the one which the gates of hell cannot prevail…will be the Strong Fortress, the High Place, and they will seek to enter, who cannot…The WORD will be within you and it will purified and quickened to the Sword of the Holy One. Fewer words…more dwelling in the Still. Within the Still lies Wisdom, which moves timeless and without warning. They which rely on the outer clamor will see only perplexity.

I am not one to trumpet my own predictions…I make some that do not come due, but when I see patterns emerge that coincide with a view I have firmly pronounced, it is worth noting because we are now slipping closer to another chapter in the prophetic time line. this news article is ominous as Schuller’s Cathederal is “ground zero for the modern-day psycho-babble “prosperity gospel”. I post this after this news emerged yesterday, October 19, 2010: “Schuller’s Crystal Cathedral Declares Bankruptcy”

Video: Vision of the Massive Diamond

A good friend, and fellow-worker of Threshing Floor, Heidi Hill Cummins posted her first YouTube video of a vision that I will just call healing. While many run after esoteric prophecies and visions of “end times” doom-and-gloom; this video come from the heart of the Father to speak to those who are here to perform His will in the Earth.

I’ve been thinking of the BP Oil Spill In the Gulf of Mexico:

We are drawn by events to see into what is occurring in the spirit realm, the causative realm from which unfolds all things under heaven:

Spiritually, Revelation 6:6 comes to mind:
“And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine.”
This is the 3rd seal and it speaks to a time of FAMINE, DEFLATION OF MONEY…but in the midst is a preservation…a command that certain measures not be “hurt” …Judgment is equilibrium—a balancing of accounts in the spirit, which transfers into the realm of the physical plane. The oil and the wine are symbols with dual streams of fulfillment..they are metaphors of judgment, gathering together and scattering…they represent ELEMENTS in the Spirit which picture God’s ongoing fulfillment of HIS will in the earth realm.

A heady brew of ancient mysteries, modern apparitions, and “stones and bones” science have merged into the 21st century Christian epoch in the form of “Christian UFOlogy”. Fueled by the the now famous Roswell Incident of 1947, and fanned by the need to engage large affluent “audiences” who trek into the new “seeker friendly” Evangelical theaters, an entire market has grown around preoccupation with end times expectations of the return of the Nephilim (Genesis, chapter 6.)

In what can only be called “branding”, these new ministers have merchandised the “apocalypse” with a wide range of various (and often conflicting) end times messages that make the Bible look like it was published by Marvel Comics. These end times Christian UFO cults which have emerged in the last decade are the product of ambitious imaginations, extra-Biblical literature, and an onslaught of reporting of mysterious supernatural events such as “alien abductions”, UFO close encounters, and ritual abuse.

“Pretribs are hard-pressed to find any passage in the Bible that teaches that the Great Tribulation will be against unbelievers.”-Alan Kurschner, prewrathrapture.com

Prewrath rapture is an attempt to rescue the rapture doctrine from its most glaring flaws and contradictions; …it is an obvious contrivance and more of the wholesale distortions of Bible prophecy proffered by deceived theologians who fail to move entirely into the truth. Yet even those who subscribe to unsound doctrine do occasionally get a point right. The article below is important only because it presents a valid argument to a tenet—which we have presented on the Threshing Floor and Third Day shows for four years—that the tribulation is upon the “church” , i.e.-the believers in Messiah Yeshua.

Modern Day Rejection of Heritage
by Randy Maugans:

They traded Messiah for Barabbas—their birthright for a bowl of cold soup. This is the “Esau Effect” which moved the ministry of the Gospel from a racial/religious construct called Israel into a broader movement that would include all “peoples, nations, tongues, and tribes.”
The rejection of Christ before Pilate completed the course which physical Israel had taken. The blood curse would break the physical covenant and release the Gospel to the Gentiles. Salvation, which was of the Jews (John 4:22) would now pass to a broader spiritual covenant which did NOT “replace” Israel, but transferred the birthright to all who accepted the “terms and conditions” of the new covenant.

“Third Wave” Wackos and the Tempest in the Teabag Party…

Sarah Palin’s profile has been elevated as the most visible face of conservative values in American politics. This newest foray by Palin, into the heart of the spiritual deceptions of Third Wave theology, may prove to be her most fertile ground—and her most dire predicament. Undoubtedly, the cross-pollination of the disaffected “constitutional patriots” with a form of religion that appears to offer carnal solutions to America and the global nations’, deepening crises is a heady brew.

Prophecy Hollywood-style

Something happened on the way to the end of the world: the early church continued in the same vein as their Hebrew roots, looking to manifest prophetic expectation prematurely. Naturally, Hollywood twists these scenes to fit the consumption needs of an unbelieving public…but what is more incredible than Hollywood’s brutal assault on prophecy is that so-called “Christian” presentations followed the same strategy: selectively choosing elements of the Apocalypse that appealed to the basest sensibility of a barely literate viewer. This same pattern of a “cinematic/dramatic” portrayal of Biblical prophecy continues to this day in the spirit of modern prophecy teachers who diagram time lines, interpret symbolic images by free-association, and string together endless destruction scenarios via “cut-and-paste” techniques pioneered by Soviet montage artists.

Commerce of the Souls:
A trip to the local mall is “interrupted” by a vision, a powerful view of “soul hijacking” on a grand scale, as our hearts and minds are under a steady assault of psychotronic/subliminal waves. These waves are both physically triggered, by electrical impulses, and also spiritually generated—to minds receptive to more base stimuli and emotions. If Satan can capture your senses, he can enslave you to this corporeal, sensate existence and slowly drain away your desire for TRUE life, which is beyond our present senses, present time, and present state of being.
