As I had just finished winding up my night time prayers at 2:00 o'clock am, Tuesday night, September 23 of 2008, the Spirit of the Lord spoke to me and said;
Son of man, I am going to become a swift witness against My people that are called by My name, because many have not kept the principles of My covenant, they have instead honored themselves and their desires of pleasure more than honoring My holy name.
They have defiled My holy sanctuary under the pretence that because they are saved by grace, they are not obligated to honor My holy commandments that I gave to Moses in the old testament (some have even taken the old testament a way from their bibles and Sunday teachings), and in so doing they have brought a reproach against My holy name among the nations.
Instead of teaching the nations righteousness, they have instead become a church that influences the nations on how to become more wicked.
And the spirit of the Lord went on to say;
Son of man, as it was in the days of Jeremiah the prophet, when I sent Israel under captivity to be captivated by Nebuchadnezzar, so I have also given My church under the cruel hands of the government, laws that forbids and prohibits the church from evangelizing on the streets, and preaching on the TV and radio broadcasts, owning church asserts like buildings & lands will be prohibited, (many church buildings will be repossessed by the government), laws of gays marriages are going to be enforced upon churches (churches will be forced to accept, and join in marriage gay couples, or else they will be forced to close their churches if they refuse).
The church will become a slave to the laws of the government, son of man; I am going to make a distinction between the sheep and the goat, between those who obey My voice and keep My holy commandments, and those who claim to know My name, but through their actions they have already rebelled against My will.
I am going to make a distinction that clearly reveals the one that is serving Me and the one that is not.
Hosea 4:6 says; My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge.
Because you have rejected knowledge, I also will reject you from being priest for Me ; because you have forgotten the law of your God, I also will forget your children and violence will increase among your youth.
Matthew 5:17-20 says; do not think that I came to destroy the law (Old Testament) or the prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfill…….whoever therefore breaks one of the least of these commandments and teaches men so, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever does and teaches them, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
For I say to you, that unless your righteousness exceeds (excels) the righteousness of the scribes and the Pharisees, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven.
