Voice of the Lord Passover 2012

You know I want to take you to the 10th chapter of Revelation. I want to refresh your memory of whats written in chapter 9. The 6th trumpet was sounded and four bound angels, which means they were bad, were released at the river Euphrates. And when the swarmers swarm, theyre there.

Its our duty and obligation to our Father to pay close attention and recognize whats going down at what time. So lets pick it up if we may with those thoughts in mind, maybe we better take verse 18 to know what to expect from the swarm and those 4 bound angels.

Rev 9:18 By these three were a third part of men killed, by the fire, and by the smoke, and by the brimstone which issued out of their mouths.

In other words theyre blowing smoke. Smoke, hot air won't hurt you necessary if youre back far enough. In other words they lie to people, they mislead people. And they do it how? In a religious sense and that deceives many, many people.

Now with a Word of Wisdom lets pick up the 10th chapter lets go a little deeper into this verse 1:

Rev 10:1 And I saw another mighty angel come down from heaven, clothed with a cloud: and a rainbow [was] upon his head,

Meaning royalty

and his face [was] as it were the sun, and his feet as pillars of fire:

Rev 10:2 And he had in his hand a little book open: and he set his right foot upon the sea, and [his] left [foot] on the earth,

That simply means He had power and control over both the earth and waters. And our Father does. This not being our Father but certainly a representative of His.

Rev 10:3 And cried with a loud voice, as [when] a lion roareth: and when he had cried, seven thunders uttered their voices.

What are these seven thunders? What a mystery, what a wonder! Well lets see if we can find out. Verse 4:

Rev 10:4 And when the seven thunders had uttered their voices,

I mean they communicated. You got it? It was a voice.

I was about to write: and I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Seal up those things which the seven thunders uttered, and write them not.

Don't you put them down. Now I want you to bear something in mind, what did he have? A little book. He gave him the book. He said don't write it down exact is what it means but it is something we are going to understand when the time is right. And when we are supposed to know we will understand. And so it is. Verse 5.

Rev 10:5 And the angel which I saw stand upon the sea and upon the earth lifted up his hand to heaven,

Praying to God, looking to God.

Rev 10:6 And sware by him that liveth for ever and ever, who created heaven, and the things that therein are, and the earth, and the things that therein are, and the sea, and the things which are therein, that there should be time no longer:

In other words we came right up to the end. So it behooves one to understand. Lets back up for a second to chapter 4 of this great book of Revelation. What does it say there in Revelation chapter 4, verse 5? Let me read it to you:

Rev 4:5 And out of the throne proceeded lightnings and thunderings and voices: and [there were] seven lamps of fire burning before the throne, which are the seven Spirits of God.

Now what are the spirits of God and what are those seven thunders the voices? Well we know what lightning is. Lightning precedes thunder. Skip on over to chapter 5, verse 12, and lets pick it up on the Spirit of God just a little bit here.

Rev 5:12 Saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power,

One

and riches

Two

and wisdom

Three

and strength

Four

and honour

Five

and glory

Six

and blessing.

Seven The Spirits of God. Well how can we anchor this? Well you know God always foretells His prophets. Its written. He doesn't do anything without letting you know whats about to transpire. But what you need to know What is the voice of God? How can we tell?

Psalms 29 lets go there and see if we can discern a little more. Psalms 29, and what a beautiful Psalm it is, a Psalm of David:

Psa 29:1 [A Psalm of David.] Give unto the LORD, O ye mighty, give unto the LORD glory and strength.

There are two of the attributes in that first verse: glory and strength. Psa 29:2Give unto the LORD the glory due unto his name; worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness.

That's righteousness

Psa 29:3 The voice of the LORD

Here you are that's why we came here

[is] upon the waters: the God of glory thundereth: the LORD [is] upon many waters. When God speaks it is recorded as thunder. And you can take that, why? The order has been given thunder follows that and if you wait too long after the thunder you miss the boat. OK? Because you are supposed to have the prophecy to know and understand and then the Truth prevails and the Truth comes forward. Verse 4:

Psa 29:4 The voice of the LORD [is] powerful;

Theres the power.

the voice of the LORD [is] full of majesty.

It gives you knowledge and wisdom when you listen to that voice.

Psa 29:5 The voice of the LORD breaketh the cedars; yea, the LORD breaketh the cedars of Lebanon.

The largest cedars in the world, of that type, and so plentiful and always used to symbolically represent our people even. Verse 6:

Psa 29:6 He maketh them also to skip like a calf; Lebanon and Sirion

Thats Mount Hermon, which is to say the breastplate.

like a young unicorn.

There's no such thing as a unicorn its wild ox.

Psa 29:7 The voice of the LORD divideth the flames of fire.

I want you to absorb that and I want you to know that divideth means control, so lets read it that way. The voice of the LORD controls the flames of fire.

He is a consuming fire. Why? Cause He loves His children, all of them that follow Him, especially. Verse 8: .

Psa 29:8 The voice of the LORD shaketh the wilderness; the LORD shaketh the wilderness of Kadesh.

That's the Holy, even the Holy wilderness. He shakes it. He is in control. I don't know how you even stood on the ground when the thunder and Lightning bolt hit real close to you and felt the ground shake! He shakes things, His can - His voice shakes things and that is an analogy to let you know exactly what we are talking about here. Verse 9:

Psa 29:9 The voice of the LORD maketh the hinds to calve,

He created nature and birth.

and discovereth the forests: and in his temple doth every one speak of [his] glory.

Glory being another attribute of the Spirit of the Living God.

Psa 29:10 The LORD sitteth upon the flood; yea, the LORD sitteth King for ever.

Not just a little while friend. Youre in a service that in Gods service, that is eternal. Youre not part time. Youre not just happening by just a flash. Its throughout eternity. Verse 11 to complete:

Psa 29:11 The LORD will give strength

Thats another one of the attributes I hope you kept count!

unto his people; the LORD will bless his people with peace.

So do you need strength? That's where you get it. Do you need peace - peace of mind? That's where you get it from, our heavenly Father, through His Word. And to understand that Word whereby you grasp the simplicity whereby Christ teaches.

Now with those attributes and the Voice of God, that thundering command, if youre wise enough to pick up from His Word what the thunders mean Because they are sealed except to God's Elect. So turn with me if you will back to the New Testament the book of St John, chapter 12. St John, chapter 12 I will call you attention to verse 1 for a time sequence:

John 12:1 Then Jesus six days before the passover

That time is important; log it in your mind. 6 days before Passover, this message came, that is to say for verse 12. What does verse 12 say? On the next day where is the next day? 5 days before Passover just like the 5 stones that David picked up. 5 days before Passover these events transpire, the prophecy that Christ gives us; gives to the ears of His Election.

Skip to verse 23 for me and think and absorb the Spirit and the Voice of the Living God. Verse 23:

John 12:23 And Jesus answered them, saying, The hour is come, that the Son of man should be glorified.

One of the attributes

John 12:24 Verily, verily,

you can count on it

truly, truly, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit.

Christ knew if He did not go through the Crucifixion for you whereby you have salvation from that it would bring many in Truth to the very feet of the cross with Him, loving Him, following Him. And naturally as it was at that Passover He was the crucified lamb. Verse 25:

John 12:25 He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal.

In other words if you only look forward to what you can gain in this world you are in a heap of hurt. But if you look to Him, if you look to

the cross, if you look to the many of your brethren that follow Him, then we see the many-membered body of Christ.

Verse 26: John 12:26 If any man serve me, let him follow me;

He set the example

and where I am, there shall also my servant be: if any man serve me, him will [my] Father honour.

Honour another one of the attributes of the Voice of God. And He will honor when you do your best. None of us are perfect. We all slip sometimes. Verse 27:

John 12:27 Now is my soul troubled; and what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour: but for this cause came I unto this hour.

In other words I wouldnt change anything Christ is saying. I am doing this for the children. Emanuel, God with us, doing it for you so your sins can be washed away. Can be cleansed and can have that peace of mind, which comes from His Word which is eternal. Verse 28, And He continues:

John 12:28 Father, glorify thy name. Then came there a voice from heaven, [saying], I have both glorified [it], and will glorify [it] again.

Its interesting that you should make note of that word again. That's a double header there. And naturally it comes at the second Advent, and the price He paid on that cross.

Again G3825 palin pal'-in Probably from the same as G3823 (through the idea of oscillatory repetition); (adverbially) anew, that is, (of place) back, (of time) once more, or (conjugationally) furthermore or on the other hand: - again.

G3823 pal pal'-ay From pall (to vibrate; another form for G906); wrestling: - + wrestle.

Verse 29, I am sorry verse 28:

John 12:28 Father, glorify thy name. Then came there a voice from heaven, [saying], I have both glorified [it], and will glorify [it] again.

And naturally that Voice from heaven was what? Verse 29:

John 12:29 The people therefore, that stood by, and heard [it], said that it thundered: others said, An angel spake to him.

One of the thunders that's issued that you should know and is very important in your life today. 5 days before Passover, verse 30, listen carefully:

John 12:30 Jesus answered and said, This voice came not because of me, but for your sakes.

And I say today for your sakes, 5 days before Passover.

John 12:31 Now...

What does this now mean? Its 5 days before Passover

is the judgment of this world: now shall the prince of this world be cast out.

Well who is the prince of this world? Its the anti-christ of course. 5 days before Passover in the year it transpires, he will be cast out.

You are given a beautiful time there; the Voice of God through the thunders that were sealed. But the ears and mind of the Elect OPENED whereby they can hear and understand. You see the beauty in which our Father teaches us leaving nothing unturned telling us beforehand of events that transpire so we are servants. Because if a servant knows and understands and is aware, they will serve through their faith and love of Almighty God. Verse 32:

John 12:32 And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all [men] unto me.

This signifying that He should die death of course, and that's what brought it forth. But He made that note that special thunder from heaven on that day, and that time, for the ears of them that are suppose to hear and understand. To know what that thunder meant. 5 days before Passover Satan the prince of the air was case out onto the earth. Will be that is to say.

Now that should remind you of a scripture. It should be in the book of Luke and it should be starting your mind as Gods Elect - you remember. That's Luke 10 lets go there and pick it up at verse 17. First I want to tell you whats happening here in case you forgot. He has sent out the disciples, given them power, as He always gives His servants power. Did you hear what I said? He always gives His servants power over the enemy, over evil spirits and over anything that would come against His children.

And they returned having known that it was the Lord Jesus Christ that gives them that authority. They still say in verse 17: . Luke10:17 And the seventy returned again with joy, saying, Lord, even the devils are subject unto us through thy name.

Don't ever forget that! There is power in the name of the Lord. Now verse 18:

Luke 10:18 And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven.

Now wait a minute it didn't say thunder. What follows lightning? Thunder. This is that time when Satan falls. He is telling you. He said you have power over evil spirits, now I am going to give you power over him that comes - 5 days before Passover most likely. And that way you will know and understand that in Christs name, the true Christ, you have power even over the false one. So then He continues, verse 19:

Luke 10:19 Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.

You can believe that. You know that so many people by questions sent and they fear that moment. You don't have too. Nothing by any means in your faith in making that stand against the false one. Nothing can hurt you. Your Father looks after His own. He stands, He controls the Fire! He controls the water. He controls all things and especially when the false one is here. He will be in control utilizing His people.

Luke 10:20 Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven.

You know what? Youre in the book of Life. It means written even before the foundation of this world as Gods Election. Written there. That's what you ought to be thankful for; that you made the stand against him even in the 1st earth age. Don't let that throw you. Its a

fact. Always judge spiritually by spiritual facts. That's pretty well documented.

Luke 10:21 In that hour Jesus rejoiced in spirit, and said,

what did He say? Rejoice because He saw Satan fall upon us? What did He say?

I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent,

They haven't got a clue

and hast revealed them unto babes: even so, Father; for so it seemed good in thy sight.

And of course those babes were that final generation that would live as God's Election and see that Truth and that knowledge would flow over the buds of their minds to stand against this one having power and authority. To not fear but to conqueror the devices of the wicked one.

Luke 10:22 All things are delivered to me of my Father: and no man knoweth who the Son is, but the Father; and who the Father is, but the Son, and [he] to whom the Son will reveal [him].

I don't know. He will reveal Him to you if you will listen. if you pay attention to His teachings, if you listen to the Voice of the Lord and absorb it. He is not going to leave you hanging out somewhere not knowing what comes next. He's going to share with you. Verse 23:

Luke 10:23 And he turned him unto [his] disciples, and said privately, Blessed [are] the eyes which see the things that ye see:

And I will say that again to you today. Blessed are the eyes with which you see today. Because there are many that are so very wise, got all kind of titles behind their names, D-D-D and D-D this and B-S that. But they haven't got a clue whats going down. Do you know why? In simplicity, they have not studied the Word of God. They do not understand the Voice of God whereby they can see and understand. 24:

Luke 10:24 For I tell you, that many prophets and kings have desired to see those things which ye see, and have not seen [them]; and to hear those things which ye hear, and have not heard [them].

Well listen. They wanted that. Do you understand that even the prophets wanted to live in this generation in which you live in which He utilizes the Voice of God, the thunders sealed, the little book. If youll dig youll know what the thunders are. And one of the thunders announces the appearance of the false one and youre not caught off guard. That is very important. Always be prepared and you are ready for battle, spiritually speaking.

Now lets return back to the great book of Revelation chapter 16. Revelation, chapter 16, verse 12 The Voice of the Lord. I want to say one thing. In the 10th chapter, we began reading about the seals. You were still under the power of the 6th trump. You understand that? Because naturally in the 6th trumpet, what happens? Satan is cast out. You just read from the Voice of the Lord probably how that will come to pass. Because it is specifically recorded 6 days down to 5 and boom. Chapter 16, verse 12 Having been under still the sign of the 6th trump, not the 7th but the 6th we read verse 12 of Revelation 16, the 6th vial of course:

Rev 16:12 And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great river Euphrates;

Thats the one we are watching today even

and the water thereof was dried up, that the way of the kings of the east might be prepared.

The swarming and dislodging and Muslim brotherhood is taking over and you know something? Most people don't have a clue what the brotherhood is. The four demonics turned loose and they are operating full time. Verse 13.

Rev 16:13 And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs

They weren't frogs, it said like frogs meaning kinda gross

[come] out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet.

Now you know what is said by satan. Does that frighten you? It shouldn't. We just read we have power over those things. In the name of what? Christ of course! So frogs don't bother you! Satan's words don't bother you because you are a child of the Living God and you understand the voice of your Lord! And the voice of your Lord, you will follow. Why? You love Him because of the price He paid for you that you can be what you are, a loved child of God. That's priceless. That brings peace of mind and that bring understanding. 14:

Rev 16:14 For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, [which] go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty.

And its coming. That would be the 7th trump when the 7th vial is poured out. He'll do most of that fighting but we lead up to it. And so it is. One more verse to complete this lecture:

Rev 16:15 Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed [is] he that watcheth,

Are you watching? Are you studying? Are you watching the times, watching the thunders?

and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame.

Your righteous acts of watching weave the fine linen that you wear as robes in the heavenly body.

How precious our Father's Word is, the Voice of the Lord and the Voice of the Lord is mighty. You know this is kind of a short lecture but a lot in it if you have eyes to see and if you have ears to hear. We learn from Gods Word 6 days, 5 days bingo!

Something we are supposed to watch very closely. Why? He told you its time. That is the time. Now what year will that happen in? That we don't know. But because it is revealed to us this day along with the Euphrates and the swarmers then we know we are getting pretty close. We are counting times certainly.

So there you have the Voice of the Lord. What is it? I think you can absorb that its beautiful, its wonderful and know, this even the prophets wanted to know what you know today.
