Truth About the Apocalypse – Truth Uncovered, and the Dead Sleep through it

Continuing: what next, after the open victory over the spiritually wicked still sitting in all the seats of power, those still in control of the misleading information still being vomited out to the dead and sleeping masses? As we saw in recent posts the time is that mentioned in Revelation 7 and those now awake are the sealed elect (the first-fruits). Therefore we are those that must break through the lies to awaken the multitude that will come out of the great tribulation still covering the world. In this we’ve seen the tribulation is intentionally induced by foundational lies, and their caused mass delusion is what produces a persisting state of mental agitation. In the same way we know, because we experience it, the foundation of truth in the law of nature and natures God, heard in the still small voice of the LORD, are what produces peace and brings man out of tribulation.

In the previous post we saw this as the LORD wiping away the tears from all eyes and this as the anointing imparting the ability to see these undeniable and therefore self-evident truths. We looked at this being spoken of in Revelation 7 & 21 where Isaiah 25:8 is quoted; the three telling of the victory over death’s sleep and the means by which it is achieved.

We saw the quote appearing in Isaiah 25:8 as “and the LORD God will wipe away tears from off all faces,” and then rendered in Revelation as “and God shall wipe away [exaleipho] all tears from their eyes.” We saw the literal meaning of exaleipho (wipe away) as, take away by anointing. We then saw this as the anointing spoken of in Revelation 3 telling the fallen away church to anoint their eyes so they would become able to see, and therefor come out of their complacent state and catch fire.

We saw the part of Isaiah 25:8 preceding the above quote is, “He will swallow up death in victory,” and this part also appearing quoted in 1 Corinthians 15:54 as, “Death is swallowed up in victory.” We know 1 Corinthians 15 defines our resurrection, as we become quickened to life, told of in the full context of this quote’s use therein: “54 So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.”

When we see all the interconnected passages as one we understand, as we are told in Revelation 7:17, the way we lead the masses out of their tribulation is by presenting them with the uncorrupted truth found in these living waters. “For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters: and God shall wipe away [exaleipho] all tears from their eyes.”

We also saw/see, because we are told in Isaiah 25 in the verse that precedes the one quoted, the corruption is the lies as a covering over all the earth. We know this covering is what is removed by this sight giving anointing, and into understanding (God is among us) by the rivers of living water (see Exodus 17:2 -7).

Isaiah 25:7 And He will destroy in this mountain the face of the covering cast over all people, and the veil that is spread over all nations [This verse tells of the apocalypse – apocalypse meaning to remove the covering].
8 He will swallow up death in victory; and the LORD God will wipe away tears from off all faces; and the rebuke of his people shall he take away from off all the earth: for the LORD has spoken it.

Seeing all this we know our work is just beginning. The enemies seek to join in with us so they can declare victory with us and thereby attempt to again deceive us into going back into our silent sleep. This is true in both church and national governments.

Today we need to again read Amos, beginning at chapter 7, where in verses 12 & 13 we read of Amaziah (those thinking themselves the strength of the LORD) saying to Amos (the one bearing the burden of the LORD – the donkey the LORD is speaking through), “12 O you seer, go, flee you away into the land of Judah, and there eat bread, and prophesy there: 13 But prophesy not again any more at Bethel: for it is the king’s chapel, and it is the king’s court.”

These are those telling Amos to stop what the LORD is telling him to continue. The chapter begins by telling of the land that has been totally stripped barren under the control of those leading it. It is the pattern of our time. In the following chapter, in verses 11 & 12, we are told of the famine in the land being not hearing the word of the LORD, and thereby we see it as it is today in our nation. “11 Behold, the days come, says the LORD God, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the LORD: 12 And they shall wander from sea to sea, and from the north even to the east, they shall run to and fro to seek the word of the LORD, and shall not find it.”

Earlier in Amos 8:8 we read of this also being as the flood of Egypt, as if the rightly divided waters though which we have come now crashing back together destroying the enemies who pursue us. “8 Shall not the land tremble for this, and every one mourn that dwell therein? and it shall rise up wholly as a flood; and it shall be cast out and drowned, as by the flood of Egypt.”

This with Devine intention coincides with Isaiah 25 where in verse 11 we read of the LORD as one swimming, reaching out His hand to save those we read of in the above verse as drowning. It is telling of even the enemies being offered salvation, but they must be able to quell their pride, admit they need help, and take His hand.

Isaiah 25:11 And he shall spread forth his hands in the midst of them, as he that swims spreads forth his hands to swim: and he shall bring down their pride together with the spoils of their hands.

Amos 7
1 Thus has the LORD God showed unto me; and, behold, he formed grasshoppers in the beginning of the shooting up of the latter growth; and, lo, it was the latter growth after the king’s mowing.
2 And it came to pass, that when they had made an end of eating the grass of the land, then I said, O LORD God, forgive, I beseech you: by whom shall Jacob arise? for he is small.
3 The LORD repented for this: It shall not be, says the LORD.
4 Thus has the LORD God showed unto me: and, behold, the LORD God called to contend by fire, and it devoured the great deep, and did eat up a part.
5 Then said I, O LORD God, cease, I beseech you: by whom shall Jacob arise? for he is small.
6 The LORD repented for this: This also shall not be, says the LORD God.
7 Thus he showed me: and, behold, the LORD stood upon a wall made by a plumbline, with a plumbline in his hand.
8 And the LORD said unto me, Amos, what see you? And I said, A plumbline. Then said the LORD, Behold, I will set a plumbline in the midst of my people Israel: I will not again pass by them any more:
9 And the high places of Isaac shall be desolate, and the sanctuaries of Israel shall be laid waste; and I will rise against the house of Jeroboam with the sword.
10 Then Amaziah the priest of Bethel sent to Jeroboam king of Israel, saying, Amos has conspired against you in the midst of the house of Israel: the land is not able to bear all his words.
11 For thus Amos says, Jeroboam shall die by the sword, and Israel shall surely be led away captive out of their own land.
12 Also Amaziah said unto Amos, O you seer, go, flee you away into the land of Judah, and there eat bread, and prophesy there:
13 But prophesy not again any more at Bethel: for it is the king’s chapel, and it is the king’s court.
14 Then answered Amos, and said to Amaziah, I was no prophet, neither was I a prophet’s son; but I was a herdsman, and a gatherer of sycamore fruit:
15 And the LORD took me as I followed the flock, and the LORD said unto me, Go, prophesy unto my people Israel.
16 Now therefore hear you the word of the LORD: You say, Prophesy not against Israel, and drop not your word against the house of Isaac.
17 Therefore thus says the LORD; Your wife shall be an harlot in the city, and your sons and your daughters shall fall by the sword, and your land shall be divided by line; and you shall die in a polluted land: and Israel shall surely go into captivity forth of his land.

Amos 8
1 Thus has the LORD God showed unto me: and behold a basket of summer fruit.
2 And he said, Amos, what see you? And I said, A basket of summer fruit. Then said the LORD unto me, The end is come upon my people of Israel; I will not again pass by them any more.
3 And the songs of the temple shall be howling in that day, says the LORD God: there shall be many dead bodies in every place; they shall cast them forth with silence.
4 Hear this, O you that swallow up the needy, even to make the poor of the land to fail,
5 Saying, When will the new moon be gone, that we may sell corn? and the Sabbath, that we may set forth wheat, making the ephod small, and the shekel great, and falsifying the balances by deceit?
6 That we may buy the poor for silver, and the needy for a pair of shoes; yea, and sell the refuse of the wheat?
7 The LORD has sworn by the excellency of Jacob, Surely I will never forget any of their works.
8 Shall not the land tremble for this, and every one mourn that dwells therein? and it shall rise up wholly as a flood; and it shall be cast out and drowned, as by the flood of Egypt.
9 And it shall come to pass in that day, says the LORD God, that I will cause the sun to go down at noon, and I will darken the earth in the clear day:
10 And I will turn your feasts into mourning, and all your songs into lamentation; and I will bring up sackcloth upon all loins, and baldness upon every head; and I will make it as the mourning of an only son, and the end thereof as a bitter day.
11 Behold, the days come, says the LORD God, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the LORD:
12 And they shall wander from sea to sea, and from the north even to the east, they shall run to and fro to seek the word of the LORD, and shall not find it.
13 In that day shall the fair virgins and young men faint for thirst.
14 They that swear by the sin of Samaria, and say, Your god, O Dan, lives; and, The manner of Beersheba lives; even they shall fall, and never rise up again [Dan and Beersheba represent places of idol worship – worshiping the creations of man rather than God].

Amos 9
1 I saw the LORD standing upon the altar: and he said, Smite the lintel of the door, that the posts may shake: and cut them in the head, all of them; and I will slay the last of them with the sword: he that flees of them shall not flee away, and he that escapes of them shall not be delivered.
2 Though they dig into hell, thence shall mine hand take them; though they climb up to heaven, thence will I bring them down:
3 And though they hide themselves in the top of Carmel, I will search and take them out thence; and though they be hid from my sight in the bottom of the sea, thence will I command the serpent, and he shall bite them:
4 And though they go into captivity before their enemies, thence will I command the sword, and it shall slay them: and I will set mine eyes upon them for evil, and not for good.
5 And the LORD God of hosts is he that touches the land, and it shall melt, and all that dwell therein shall mourn: and it shall rise up wholly like a flood; and shall be drowned, as by the flood of Egypt.
6 It is he that built his stories in the heaven, and has founded his troop in the earth; he that calls for the waters [of life] of the sea, and pours them out upon the face of the earth: The LORD is his name.
7 Are you not as children of the Ethiopians unto me, O children of Israel? says the LORD. Have not I brought up Israel out of the land of Egypt? and the Philistines from Caphtor, and the Syrians from Kir?
8 Behold, the eyes of the LORD God are upon the sinful kingdom, and I will destroy it from off the face of the earth; saving that I will not utterly destroy the house of Jacob, says the LORD.
9 For, lo, I will command, and I will sift the house of Israel among all nations, like as corn is sifted in a sieve, yet shall not the least grain fall upon the earth.
10 All the sinners of my people shall die by the sword, which say, The evil shall not overtake nor prevent us.
11 In that day will I raise up the tabernacle of David that is fallen, and close up the breaches thereof; and I will raise up his ruins, and I will build it as in the days of old:
12 That they may possess the remnant of Edom, and of all the heathen, which are called by my name, says the LORD that does this.
13 Behold, the days come, says the LORD, that the plowman shall overtake the reaper, and the treader of grapes him that sows seed; and the mountains shall drop sweet wine, and all the hills shall melt.
14 And I will bring again the captivity of my people of Israel, and they shall build the waste cities, and inhabit them; and they shall plant vineyards, and drink the wine thereof; they shall also make gardens, and eat the fruit of them.
15 And I will plant them upon their land, and they shall no more be pulled up out of their land which I have given them, says the LORD your God

Before posting 2 Peter 3 it must be again mentioned, for the unlearned who wrestle with these things, the elements spoken of as melting from the fires that burn in heaven and on earth, do not end the world. It is telling of the fires that now burn in the world based upon the poor decisions made by its leaders. They are caused by the principles the world relies upon when making its choices/policy. These corrupted principles are what cause the fires and they are what melt ways as we see them failed before our opened eyes.

The word translated “elements” is the Greek word stoicheion, meaning foundational principles. It is the word translated “rudiments” in Colossians 2:8 & 20 to tell of the rudiments of the world as the things opposing and opposite Christ.

Therefore we understand 2 Peter 3 as telling us of the ways the world relies upon destroying themselves in their own fires, and is why we are told of the new that replaces it being in righteousness – peace and equity, opposite the world’s ways.

There is no end except of the reliance on the corrupted ways. This is the beginning of the new creation. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of deep, to remove the cover of the deep things, and light was seen.

2 Peter 3
1 This second epistle, beloved, I now write unto you; in both which I stir up your pure minds by way of remembrance:
2 That you may be mindful of the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets, and of the commandment of us the apostles of the LORD and Savior:
3 Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts,
4 And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.
5 For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water:
6 Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished:
7 But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.
8 But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the LORD as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
9 The LORD is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
10 But the day of the LORD will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements [stoicheion] shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.
11 Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought you to be in all holy conversation and godliness,
12 Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?
13 Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwells righteousness.
14 Wherefore, beloved, seeing that you look for such things, be diligent that you may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless.
15 And account that the longsuffering of our LORD is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him has written unto you;
16 As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction.
17 You therefore, beloved, seeing you know these things before, beware lest you also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own steadfastness.
18 But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our LORD and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen.
