The Witness October 2008

The Watchmen… [OH, I know, I have been rash to talk out plainly this way to God!] I will [in my thinking] stand upon my post of observation and station myself on the tower or fortress, and will watch to see what He will say within me, and what answer I will make [as His mouthpiece] to the perplexities of my complaint against Him. And the Lord answered me and said, Write the vision and engrave it so plainly upon tablets that everyone who passes may [be able to] read [it easily and quickly] as he hastens by. For the vision is yet for an appointed time and it hastens to the end [fulfillment]; it will not deceive or disappoint. Though it tarry, wait [earnestly] for it, because it will surely come; it will not be behindhand on its appointed day. [Heb. 10:37, 38.] (Hab 2:1-3) Ampl Witnesses to the Lord Jesus Christ...

to us over a period of 3.5 years. We kept wathcing everyday, looking it the spirit, to see what God wants to reveal to us, so that we may prepare the bride of Christ for His coming.

It is now 7.5 years ago, since God called us to witness to the world about those things, which are about to come upon the face of the whole earth.

All these things which God had revealed were not revealed to only one man, but were revealed to two, us who were eye witnesses of all that God had shown us, so that, as was written: “...every word may be confirmed and upheld by the testimony of two or three witnesses”. (Matt 18:16) Ampl

God appeared first to me on the 9th of May 2001, confirming that, which He had called us for. Within 3 days God appeared to both of us at the same time, confirming our destiny and His purpose for us as witnesses for Him. See the first newsletter: The Voice crying in the wilderness”

An ordely account...

Great and awesome and glorious things which were prophecied by all the prophets are about to be be fulfilled, but also terrible and grusome things are about to come upon all the earth. Many of these events has already started to fulfill. We will attempt to give you an ordely account of those things, which God had revealed

Many times and in many ways the Holy Spirit told me to write down all that He had revealed to us, so that it would be made clear that God had before hand told us of the events and their sequence in which they would happen. The Lord Jesus urged us to make an orderly

fulfillment of what was promised, 40 Because God had us in mind and had something better and greater in view for us, so that they [these heroes and heroines of faith] should not come to perfection apart from us [before we could join them]. (Heb 11:39-40) Ampl

account, just like Luke the doctor has done, in order for the reader to be able to read those events and circumstances as they took place in time.

First,

we will give an orderly account of those prophecies, which were given to us, by the Lord Jesus Christ, which and has already come to pass. This will be to the glory God and to built up your faith and understanding in that, which God still wants to reveal to all mankind, to the Glory of God the Father and our Lord Jesus Christ.

And when the Lamb broke open the fifth seal, I saw at the foot of the altar the souls of those whose lives had been sacrificed for [adhering to] the Word of God and for the testimony they had borne. 10 They cried in a loud voice, O [Sovereign] Lord, holy and true, how long now before You will sit in judgment and avenge our blood upon those who dwell on the earth? [Gen. 4:10; Ps. 79:5; Zech. 1:12.] 11 Then they were each given a long and flowing and festive white robe and told to rest and wait patiently a little while longer, until the number should be complete of their fellow servants and their brethren who were to be killed as they themselves had been. (Rev 6:9-11) Ampl

After this, we will reveal those prophecies, which have not yet come to pass, and will influence the whole world. All these prophesies, which the Lord Jesus Christ has revealed to us has been prophesied by all the prophets and holy men of the past. Some have even lived lives of intercession, in order for future events, according to God’s times and seasons, to be fulfilled, as was written by the apostle Peter and the writer of the book of Hebrews, saying: “The prophets, who prophesied of the grace (divine blessing) which was intended for you, searched and inquired earnestly about this salvation. 11 They sought [to find out] to whom or when this was to come which the Spirit of Christ working within them was indicating when He predicted the sufferings of Christ and the glories that should follow [them]. 12 It was then disclosed to them that the services they were rendering were not meant for themselves and their period of time, but for you. [It is these very] things which have now already been made known plainly to you by those who preached the good news (the Gospel) to you by the [same] Holy Spirit sent from heaven. Into these things [the very] angels long to look! (1Pe 1:10-12) Ampl

Thus, the prophets searched intently to understand all that was revealed to them by the Spirit of Jesus Christ inside of them. Even angels longed to understand all that was to come to pass. All the old testament heroes could not be made perfect without us. All that they prophecied could only fully be understood and be fulfilled once they found there fulfilment in our generation. They were labouring so that only together with them would we be able to understand all and only then would the work of God be accomplished in full. Then the saying as was revealed to the apostle John, saying: “Then the [mighty] angel whom I had seen stationed on sea and land raised his right hand to heaven (the sky), [Deut. 32:40; Dan. 12:6, 7.] 6 And

swore in the name of (by) Him Who lives forever and ever, Who created the heavens (sky) and all they contain, and the earth and all that it contains, and the sea and all that it contains. [He swore] that no more time should intervene and there should be no more waiting or delay, 7 but that when the days come when the trumpet call of the seventh angel is about to be sounded, then God's mystery (His secret design, His hidden purpose), as He had announced the glad tidings to His servants the prophets, should be fulfilled (accomplished, completed). [Dan. 12:6, 7.] (Rev 10:5-7) Ampl

to convince, but God will make that grow, which we sow in people’s hearts and minds. We want to acknowledge that we are only human beings, like any other man or women on the earth. Many of those things, which the Lord Jesus had shown us, took several years, before even we, understood them. We also, are subject to correction, even on those things, which we have seen and understood from the Lord Jesus Christ, for Paul says: “We know in part and we prophecy in part.” The Word of God says that no prophetic word can be correctly interpreted without the Holy Spirit opening it to us. Consider how Jesus once opened the scriptures to the disciples on their way to Emmaus, how the hearts of these men burned as He used the scriptures, written by Moses, the Psalms and the all the prophets, explaining that which was written about His suffering and glorification; how He would rise from the dead on the thrid day, to be appointed by God the Father, to be the King of kings and Lord of Lords. (Luke 24:44-48)

We kept a journal, of all those things which the Lord Jesus Christ had revealed to us, which indicate the exact times when those signs or dreams or visions were given to us. The purpose of these prophesies is to prove that God exists and that He has known all things before time begun, and so that He may be glorified, for He is about to be revealed, in the person of our Lord and saviour, Jesus Christ. The time has now come for the 5 wise virgins to prepare themselves for the coming of our King and Heavenly bridegroom. He will come to take away His beloved, those who were counted worthy to escape all those terrible tribulations, which are about to come upon the whole earth; and to judge those who worked iniquity and lawlessness.

Therefore, we want to conclude with this introdution, as the Lord’s beloved apostle wrote: “Blessed (happy, to be envied) is the man who reads aloud [in the assemblies] the word of this prophecy; and blessed (happy, to be envied) are those who hear [it read] and who keep themselves true to the things which are written in it [heeding them and laying them to heart], for the time [for them to be fulfilled] is near. (Rev 1:3) Ampl

We will provide scripture as the Lord Jesus Christ has given them to us in confirmation of all that the prophets have said. The Lord Himself, through His Holy Spirit had warned us many times that many will not accept our message, but will reject it to their own ruin and destruction. We are only messengers, sent by the Lord Jesus Christ, to speak that which we have seen and heard from our Lord and Father, Jesus Christ. We can not please men, but can only speak and reveal that, which Jesus Christ has revelead to us. We can say nothing more and nothing less. It is not for us

perversity and iniquity, but his blood will I require at the watchman's hand. So you, son of man, I have made you a watchman for the house of Israel; therefore hear the word at My mouth and give them warning from Me. When I say to the wicked, O wicked man, you shall surely die, and you do not speak to warn the wicked from his way, that wicked man shall die in his perversity and iniquity, but his blood will I require at your hand.

Surely the Lord God will do nothing without revealing His secret to His servants the prophets. [Rev. 10:7.] The lion has roared; who will not fear? The Lord God has spoken; who can but prophesy? [Acts 4:20; 5:20, 29; I Cor. 9:16.] (Amo 3:6-8) Ampl

The

Lion of Judah is about to roar and will now pounch upon His prey. God is about to shake the world with all that will be revealed to this earth, through the all-knowing, prophetic word of God, which He even revealed to all the apostles and prophets of long ago. See the prophecy: The Breaker is coming. The Lord has waited for the exact time before He released us to reveal all those things, which He had shown us in the last 7.5 years, would happen in this generation. The enemy has tried to undermine the work of God, keeping us from revealing those mysteries and secerts to the in habitants of the earth. We had also been afraid of running ahead of God’s timing and seasons, and kept back that which we have seen from the Lord Jesus Christ, until now!

But if you warn the wicked to turn from his evil way and he does not turn from his evil way, he shall die in his iniquity, but you will have saved your life. (Eze 33:4-9) Ampl God had called us to warn this world of those evil things, which are about to come upon all mankind, if they will not repent of their evil deeds and turn to God. This is true and will soon come to pass. Even more than that, the Lord God allowed me to see both Hades and the deepest, darkest dungeouns of Tartar. He also showed me Sheol, the lake of fire, which is the second death, so that you may know that these places are true and real, and will be the places in which, all men who have disobeyed and refused to repent and turn to Jesus Christ, will be thrown. I am a witness of these things and so are all the prophets.

But, the Spirit of the Lord Jesus Christ, now urges us to prophecy before it is to late, otherwise your blood will be on our hands, as God told the prophet Ezekiel, if we do not proclaim loudly, that which God told us, as is written: “Then whoever hears the sound of the trumpet and does not take warning, and the sword comes and takes him away, his blood shall be upon his own head. He heard the sound of the trumpet and did not take warning; his blood shall be upon himself. But he who takes warning shall save his life.

God also showed me those who have overcome, and who will rule and reign, and even judge the earth with Jesus Christ. Jesus, through the Holy Spirit, opened my understanding of both the judgement of the wicked and the blessedness of the consistantly righteuos, who died, and of those who will be alive until Christ Jesus our Lord, comes, just like Paul prophesied. Therefore, we urge and warn you, when you read these words, not to make light of them, for God is the same yesterday, today and forever more. He will judge the earth with

impartiality and justice. He will not only judge those outside the church, but also inside the church, for all that they have done, whether they have built with gold or straw, as Paul said: “But if anyone builds upon the Foundation, whether it be with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw, the work of each [one] will become [plainly, openly] known (shown for what it is); for the day [of Christ] will disclose and declare it, because it will be revealed with fire, and the fire will test and critically appraise the character and worth of the work each person has done. If the work which any person has built on this Foundation [any product of his efforts whatever] survives [this test], he will get his reward, but if any person's work is burned up [under the test], he will suffer the loss [of it all, losing his reward], though he himself will be saved, but only as [one who has passed] through fire.” [Job 23:10.] (1Co 3:12-15) Ampl

And if the righteous are barely saved, what will become of the godless and wicked?” [Prov. 11:31.] (1Pe 4:16-18) Ampl Only after this will the Lord come, with all the saints to judge those inhabitants of the earth, who worshipped the beast, the Anti-Christ and the false prophet. Then will those 5 virgins who have been left behind be purified and their works will be tested by fire, and they will only escape God’s wrath, by giving their lives.

God’s symbols and parables…

God had always spoken to

all the prophets through many parables or dark sayings, as was written by Moses: “If there is a prophet among you, I the Lord make Myself known to him in a vision and speak to him in a dream, but not so with My servant Moses; he is entrusted and faithful in all My house. [Heb. 3:2, 5, 6.] With him I speak mouth to mouth [directly], clearly and not in dark speeches; and he beholds the form of the Lord. Why then were you not afraid to speak against My servant Moses? (Num 12:6-8) Ampl

Therefore, when judgment begins, it will begin with the house of the Lord Jesus, those who called themselves followers of Christ, as was written by Peter:

The prophet Ezekiel complained to God that people did not understand all that He explained to them, as is written: “Then said I, Ah, Lord God! They are saying of me, Does he not speak in parables and make allegories?” (Eze 20:49) Ampl

“But if [one is ill-treated and suffers] as a Christian [which he is contemptuously called], let him not be ashamed, but give glory to God that he is [deemed worthy to suffer] in this name. For the time [has arrived] for judgment to begin with the household of God; and if it begins with us, what will [be] the end of those who do not respect or believe or obey the good news (the Gospel) of God?

God said through the prophet Hosea that He has made His appeal through him in many visions and parables, which were acted out by the prophets, as was written: “I have also spoken to [you by] the prophets, and I have multiplied visions [for you] and [have appealed to you] through parables acted out by the prophets”. (Hos 12:10) Ampl

are shut up and sealed till the time of the end. (Dan 12:8-9) Ampl

Even Jesus explained all that he taught about the kingdom of God, in parables. As a matter a fact, the word of God says that Jesus did nothing unless he explained it in parables, as is written: “These things all taken together Jesus said to the crowds in parables; indeed, without a parable He said nothing to them. This was in fulfillment of what was spoken by the prophet: I will open My mouth in parables; I will utter things that have been hidden since the foundation of the world”. [Ps. 78:2.] (Mat 13:34-35) Ampl

The Lord God sent His angel to explain these things to Daniel, who inquired continually before the Lord about these things, as was written: “He instructed me and made me understand; he talked with me and said, O Daniel, I am now come forth to give you skill and wisdom and understanding. At the beginning of your prayers, the word [giving an answer] went forth, and I have come to tell you, for you are greatly beloved. Therefore consider the matter and understand the vision. (Dan 9:22-23) Ampl

God used parables to explain those things, which have been hidden since the foundation of the world. God knows all things. He knows the end from the beginning. Before Him there was no one and after Him there will be no one. He has given us the ability to choose to love and worship Him or to hate and reject Him. God is Spirit and His true worshippers must worship Him in Spirit and Truth.

The same also happened with the apostle John who was on the Island of Patmos when God sent His angel to reveal to him what would come to pass in the future, as was written: “Write therefore the things you see, what they are [and signify] and what is to take place hereafter”. (Rev 1:19) Ampl, and “After this I looked, and behold, a door standing open in heaven! And the first voice which I had heard addressing me like [the calling of] a war trumpet said, Come up here, and I will show you what must take place in the future”. (Rev 4:1) Ampl, and finally: “And he [of the seven angels further] said to me: “These statements are reliable (worthy of confidence) and genuine (true). And the Lord, the God of the spirits of the prophets, has sent His messenger (angel) to make known and exhibit to His servants what must soon come to pass”. (Rev 22:6) Ampl

If God has revealed mysteries and hidden secrets to the prophets in the past like this, why would he do it any different today? All those prophesies, which we are about to reveal were given to us from the Lord Jesus in many symbols, which represent those things which are about to come to pass. By learning for the scriptures and by revelation and relationship with the Father and the His Holy Spirit, these things will become clear to the reader. We ourselves have done much intercession in order for the Father to interpret and explain these things to us.

On the 4 October 2007, the Lord re-confirmed His covenant with me, saying: “Today I make a covenant with you! Everything, which I have promised you, will come to pass just as I have said it would!” See the Newsletter: A Star has been born.

Only when the time for their fulfillment comes, will they be unsealed. This was the same that God once told the prophet Daniel: “And I heard, but I did not understand. Then I said, O my lord, what shall be the issue and final end of these things? And he [the angel] said, Go your way, Daniel, for the words

still did not understand. God was gracious and explained as must as He could understand, but God gave him a promise, saying: “But you, O Daniel, shut up the words and seal the Book until the time of the end. [Then] many shall run to and fro and search anxiously [through the Book], and knowledge [of God's purposes as revealed by His prophets] shall be increased and become great. [Amos 8:12.] (Dan 12:4) Ampl

This was the actual reason why ‘Witnesses for Jesus Christ’ came into existence. If it is God’s will, we will write all that God had revealed to us, over a period of 3.5 years, and make it plain and obvious, so that everybody who read it may know all this was only done through the power and the revelation of God, the Father of the Lord Jesus Christ. For it will come to pass, just like God said it would. Then all mankind would have to acknowledge that it is truth, as was prophesied by the prophet Isaiah, saying: “Bring forth the blind people who have eyes and the deaf who have ears. Let all the nations be gathered together and let the peoples be assembled. Who among [the idolaters] could predict this [that Cyrus would be the deliverer of Israel] and show us the former things? Let them bring their witnesses, that they may be justified, or let them hear and acknowledge, It is the truth. [Ps. 123:3, 4.] (Isa 43:8-9) Ampl

Since God appeared to us the first time, through signs in the heavens, He gave us many signs and taught us many symbols, over the next 3.5 years, in which He revealed all that would come to pass in this generation, just like He did to the prophets, Daniel and the apostles, Paul and John, in his book of The Revelation of Jesus Christ. He even used our very lives to become a sign of His coming. We are only a sign and a symbol to mankind to prepare themselves for the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ and those things, which would follow, as God told the prophet Ezekiel: “Thus Ezekiel is to you a sign; according to all that he has done you shall do. And when this [destruction of the temple] comes, you shall know, understand, and realize that I am the Lord God [the Sovereign Ruler, Who calls forth loyalty and obedient service]. (Eze 24:24) Ampl Therefore what God is about to reveal in prophetic word is highly symbolic and sometimes hard to understand. We will interpret those things, which have come to pass already and will tell forth those things, which will soon come to pass.

Therefore let us like Jesus said: “Watch therefore [give strict attention, be cautious and active], for you do not know in what kind of a day [whether a near or remote one] your Lord is coming”. (Mat 24:42) Ampl

May God bless you, as you, like us, pay close attention to these things, because as God said to the prophet Habakkuk: “Write the vision and engrave it so plainly upon tablets that everyone who passes may [be able to] read [it easily and quickly] as he hastens
