This post will reveal vital information all seekers of God should now be aware of. The knowledge that will be heard is truly a big part of “The Thunder before the Storm!” Pay close attention as the scriptures explain the responsibilities a person will accept when he says to The Almighty God….”HERE I AM SEND ME!”
Many of these facts can be found in the great prophetic book of Hosea. This book of the bible explains every detail of how individuals from all walks of life, will become a new nation under the rule of God’s Kingdom!
The information is presented through an antiquated disguise, and is certainly not shallow, but when properly understood it is among the most enlightening books in all of God’s word! It offers valuable knowledge that explains God’s repeated statement….“Those not my people will become my people, and I will become their God!”
The last scripture in Hosea allows us to realize just how deep it is….and exactly who will be able to understand it. “Who is wise, that he may understand these things? Discreet, that he may know them? For the ways of Jehovah are upright, and the righteous are the ones who will walk in them; but the transgressors are the ones who will stumble in them.”
So right away we have learned that in order to acquire proper understanding of Hosea’s time of the end prophecy, we must be wise in our thinking and our hearts must have righteous qualities. This is describing a true seeker of God, is it not?
How do we know this understanding will not occur until the final part of the days? What about the millions upon millions who have been members of men’s religions for years, and claim to already have understanding?
At Hosea 4:1, 6 & 6:5, 6, God proclaims His legal case to all the inhabitants of the land. “for there is no truth nor loving-kindness nor knowledge of God in the land.” “My people will certainly be silenced because there is no knowledge. Because the knowledge is what you yourself have rejected.” “That is why I shall have to hew (shape) them by the prophets; I shall have to kill them by the sayings of my mouth. And the judgments upon you will be as the light that goes forth. For in loving-kindness I have taken delight, and not in sacrifice; and in the knowledge of God rather than in whole burnt offerings.”
Many of God’s people are currently being taught by these teachers without knowledge. Today’s religions have absolutely no understanding of the good news God told the prophets, therefore their prophetic words are dismissed as meaningless, ancient history. The emphasis is on the very things God takes no delight in….the sacrifices of offerings and the mere routine of being present, which insures their life source….Money! They are completely unaware the prophets are similitudes and visions that will supply the knowledge to prepare them for the final day events! (Hosea 12:10) If you read Zechariah 8:9 you will clearly understand what a privilege it is….in this day and time….to hear the words of the prophets….as they lay the foundation of knowledge for God’s Temple to be built.
At Matthew 7:22, 23 Jesus addresses the people in our day that are dedicated to the teachings of men and their organizations that have been built on foundations of sand! (Isaiah 29:13)
“Many will say to me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and expel demons in your name, and perform many powerful works in your name?” “And yet then I will profess to them: I never knew you! Get away from me, you workers of lawlessness.”
What is the main point we need to discern after reading all of these scriptures?…. A CHANGE IS COMING! A change from believing falsehoods to an accurate understanding of God’s word explains exactly why God would make the statement, “Those not my people will become my people!”
As Hosea 1:11 foretells; “Judah and Israel will be collected together into a unity under one head, and go up out of the land, because great will be the day of Jezreel.”
This scripture is telling us that an incredible event will occur in the final part of the days! The entire 2nd chapter of Hosea gives details of something that is beginning to take shape as we speak. The word Jezreel means: “God will sow seed.” God sowing the seed of His Word in the earth is exactly what occurs when the Lion of the tribe of Judah opens the 1st seal. Therefore we are now living in The Great Day of Jezreel!
It is a day when God will remove the Baal images from the mouths of His people and they will no more be remembered. (Baal worship is simply anything contrary to the type of worship God is going to restore. Acts 3:19-21 & 1st Corinthians 4:5) As God sows the earth with truthful knowledge, the real people of God will be called to come forth and become unified in thought!
“Jacob will take root: Israel will blossom and bud, and fill the face of the world with fruit.” (Isaiah 27:6) “I shall become like the dew to Israel. He will blossom like the lily, and will strike his roots like Lebanon.” (Hosea 14:5)
During this time when The Word astride the white horse has begun its ride across the earth, another extremely important prophecy will start to take place. The eventual fulfillment of Revelation 7:1-3 will have its beginning! Verse 3 says; “Do not harm the earth or the sea or the trees until after we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads.”
Notice in verse 5 the first ones chosen and sealed are of the tribe of Judah. Even though Judah was not the first born, they are listed first because that tribe symbolizes a unique part of God’s people. (Genesis 49:8-12) They represent some of the people who will initially recognize and shout words of charm to the headstone that will lead people to God’s Temple. The seven eyes of God are now roving about in all the earth to choose from among the many called ones who are rejoicing in the plummet! (Zechariah 4:4-10) This may not be completely understood by some….but don’t worry….if you love God….you are known by Him! What could be better than that? (1st Corinthians 8:3) The tribe of Judah will understand all of these things….and these teachers will no longer be hidden from you!
(Isaiah 30:20) “And though the LORD gave you the bread of adversity, and the water of affliction, yet shall not thy teachers be removed into a corner anymore, but thine eyes shall see thy teachers.”
When God sows seed….people from all walks of life will be called out of the world’s darkness with the opportunity to eventually become chosen to teach His people. Many will be called during this great day of Jezreel!
So, how will you know if you are one of the few chosen teachers that have been hidden in the corners of the world?….If you have shouted words of charm to the headstone and rejoiced in the plummet line of the seven thunders….if you have followed the scriptures closely and have experienced easy understanding….Zechariah 4:6, 7 explains where your help is coming from. If you have love for God and your fellowman, remember what Jesus said at John 10:1-14 concerning the present time period: “They will know my voice and follow.”
If these things have recently occurred in your life, who is to say you will not become one of the chosen? The light that you have experienced is the same light that was shown to the apostle Paul. We all know the story of how Paul saw a light that changed his course of life, but few know why it was told and what it really represented. It was actually a pattern for an end-time event that is now taking place. When Paul saw the light of Jesus he became the world’s foremost teacher of truth, even though he had no previous thoughts of such a thing! He was chosen from among all the earth’s population to become a light to the Gentile nations! He traveled throughout the entire world (with special attention to churches) preaching that Jesus the Christ had changed the world; every person living after the death of Christ would have the opportunity to become the people of God!
Listen….pay close attention to Matthew 24:27, 28. “For as the lightening cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so also shall the coming of the son of man be.” “For wheresoever the carcass is, there will the eagles be gathered together.”……Why would Jesus connect these two seemingly very different thoughts?
When Jesus very recently, opened the 1st seal and the crowned Word of God mounted on the white horse began its prophesied journey across the world scene….who has noticed? Who has gathered to it?……..Only very astute people….special people to God. Seekers….with eyes like an eagle! They have gathered to a meal of tough meat that has never before been served. In essence, they have sipped the blood of the carcass!!! (Job 39:26-30) Many now have been weaned from the milk, (Isaiah 28:9) they have seen the same light and heard the same voice in a spiritual manner, as did the apostle Paul! They are fulfilling the end-time spiritual awakening that was the reason the story of Paul’s journey to Damascus was told.
Paul said, “It was a very trivial matter for him to be judged by a human tribunal, because he was examined only by the Lord.” Paul answered to no man! His teaching assignment was absolutely between him and God! This is the identical situation that now exists in this time period when Jesus has opened the 1st seal and the seeds of truth have begun to be sown.
After the Holy Spirit has awakened these future teachers, many of them will question themselves. After all, didn’t every servant of God first have doubts? Every task God required of individuals seemed insurmountable before they began. A very well-known story in the bible actually was a pattern for the task that will be confronting the chosen ones…. who will eventually become sealed…. fulfilling Revelation 7:1-3.
Everyone can recite the story of David and Goliath, but like Paul’s story, its real meaning has never been accurately explained. The chosen teachers will face a foe that has been growing in stature for 2000 years. The gigantic proportions of this beast have stretched out into every corner of the earth. This monstrous giant has proven to have authority over all people, languages and nations. It is perceived as a lamb, but is powered by the lies of a dragon. Who is this giant world ruler that will once again stand defiantly in front of God’s chosen? What is this Goliath of our day that is admired and followed by practically everyone on earth?….The Rich and Powerful World Empire of False Worship!!! (Revelation 13)
Until this time period when the 1st seal has been opened and God has sown the seeds of truth in the earth, this Giant has had no rival! It has ruled over God’s people just like the Philistines ruled over Israel in David’s day. But then….all of a sudden, God’s chosen one stepped forth! David was too small, too young to face the giant, or so everyone thought. But face him he did! The great giant was swiftly toppled with a crash heard throughout the land! (Isaiah 40:31)
A similitude of the future confrontation with the giant is presented in the 9th & 10th chapters of Zechariah. “I will bend Judah as my bow and fill it with Ephraim. I will rouse your sons O’ Zion, against your sons O’ Greece, and make you like a warrior’s sword.” “They will destroy and overcome with slingstones. They will drink and roar as with wine.” “The LORD their God will save them in that day, as the flock of his people. They will sparkle in the land like jewels in a crown. Grain will make the young men thrive, and new wine the young women.” “The idols speak deceit, diviners see visions that lie; they tell dreams that are false, they give comfort in vain. Therefore the people wander like sheep oppressed for lack of a shepherd. “My anger burns against the shepherds, and I will punish the leaders, for the LORD will care for his flock, the house of Judah, and make them like a proud horse in battle.” “From Judah will come the cornerstone, from him the tent peg, from him the battle bow, from him every ruler.” “Together they will be like mighty men trampling down the mire in the streets of the battle, because the LORD is with them.”
Today, as we speak, God has turned His attention to His drove….His little flock. People are being called out from every corner of the earth to once again, face an unbeatable foe. Like David, they will be young….young in true knowledge, but fearless in presenting that true knowledge to this world’s powerful religious leaders, as the prophesied “Battle at the Gate” fulfills what David’s battle with the giant foreshadowed!
The very first question these isolated people will no doubt ask themselves is “What will I do?” “How could I possibly help fulfill the will of my God?” (1st Corinthians 1:26-28) There are many places in the bible that answers these questions. The 28th chapter of Isaiah consists of many instructions written directly to the chosen few. The 6th verse shows how God will give strength to the ones who will take the battle directly to the gates of those who teach falsehoods. The last part of the chapter even uses the example of planting seed, which is exactly what you will be doing.
At Isaiah 41:10, 11 God gives words of encouragement to the ones who will become the chosen. He addresses the fact that the end-time message they will give to the nations (Matthew 24:14) will bring the reproach of many upon them.
“Do not be afraid, for I am with you. Do not gaze about, for I am your God. I will fortify you. I will really help you. I will really keep fast hold of you with my right hand of righteousness.” “Look! All those getting heated up against you will become ashamed and be humiliated. The men in a quarrel with you will become as nothing and will perish.”
These scriptures should remove any doubts you may have about how to spread the good news of the things you have learned. God will guide you in all your ways as you teach and bring His people into a complete unity of thought. For God will awaken zeal! (Isa. 42:13-16) He will rise up and bring to pass His unusual act. He will do a work that an unperceptive world will consider very strange. (Isaiah 28:21) And as He says at Isaiah 28:22, “Do not show yourselves to be scoffers, in order that your bands may not become strong.” As you help others understand what has been heard, your bands will become very strong…. and very numerous! Because when God is with you, who can be against you…. you will not fail! (Mathew 10:19, 20)
So, to all of God’s people scattered about, brace yourselves for activity, become doers of the word and not hearers only. Cultivate and lean upon Love, Trust, Faith and Prayer. For these things will provide the endurance to complete the task of implanting the word which will save lives.
Remember…..you called out ones of this generation, in this great day of Jezreel….you could be among the chosen that will declare abroad….the real truth about the one who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light. (Isaiah 42:6-9)
FOR YOU WERE ONCE NOT A PEOPLE…. BUT WILL BECOME…. THE PEOPLE OF GOD!!!! (1st Peter 2:10)
