[LUKE 21:24]

“And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled”.

In whose control is Jerusalem today? How much treading down do Gentiles have on Jerusalem today?

13 So we're just living in that day and happy to be a Christian. Oh, my. My, what could I do if I... I believe I'd go wild if I wasn't a Christian looking at the thing. I don't see how people can stand it. I just don't understand how a man can walk on earth today without being a Christian. I wish anybody would give me a reason, some reason, why not to serve Christ. I--I--I... You can't give a sensible reason. See? We're just... This is the day that we all ought to be happy and ready; the great homecoming time is at hand.

And oh, my, there's just the, "MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN," wrote on every nation, every wall, everywhere. Every democracy, every kingdom, everywhere else, is falling. "Thou art weighed in the balance and found wanting," kingdoms have. Kings has failed. And dictators has failed. Democracy's failed. Churches has failed. Human beings has failed. Everything has failed. "You say, 'Churches'?" Yes, sir.

DIVINE.HEALING_JEFF.INV-26 N-9SUNDAY_54-1219M

15 One of the biggest failures in the world is the church. That's--that's right. Churches have miserably failed. Everything's failed. "But we receive a Kingdom which will not fail: Jesus Christ." It cannot fail. And we're so happy for that, that it's not a church affair. It's an individual affair. It's not whether my church is saved; it's whether I am saved. It isn't whether my deacon's saved, or my pastor's saved, or my mother's saved; it's whether I am saved or not, myself, I must be saved. Then I must tell them. And then, if they're saved, wonderful; if they're not, I must still remain saved. That's... I must retain my salvation. Oh, what a wonderful day.

44. When Nebuchadnezzar (the head of gold) was taken, then the Medes-o-Persians came in; and the nature of them according to the--the nature of the material and according to what the prophet said, just exactly... Nebuchadnezzar, the head of gold, which is the greatest and first of the kingdom. Then the Medes-o-Persia being silver. And then on down into the--the thighs of--of being of brass. And each metal gets harder and harder (gold being the softest), and it ends up in iron, which is the hardest of all of that, is iron. Now, each one of those kingdoms come down just exactly by nature the way that the prophet said that they would do. And what was he doing? He was sowing a seed for the nations to watch, and each time that when that kingdom was issued in, it had to do according to what that Word said.

(A). “Thou, O king, sawest, and behold a great image. This great image, whose brightness [was] excellent, stood before thee; and the form thereof [was] terrible.”[DANIEL 2:31]

“This [is] the dream; and we will tell the interpretation thereof before the king

Thou, O king, [art] a king of kings: for the God of heaven hath given thee a kingdom, power, and strength, and glory.” [DANIEL 2:36-37]

So the first gentile kingdom was excellent, powerful, strong and glorious. Gold is high quality metal.

(B). “And after thee shall arise another kingdom inferior to thee, ...” [DANIEL 2:39a]

(C). “... and another third kingdom of brass, which shall bear rule over all the earth.” [DANIEL 2:39b]

These two next kingdoms were said to be inferior to the first one. See the trend of decline in quality.

(D). “And the fourth kingdom shall be strong as iron: forasmuch as iron breaketh in pieces and subdueth all [things]: and as iron that breaketh all these, shall it break in pieces and bruise.[DANIEL 2:40]

Dictatorship is beginning to show up here. Leadership which break, bruise and subdue, may be their opponents. Isn’t this the trend we see in many nations today? Here is Daniel’s Prophecy in fulfillment. 

(E). “41. And whereas thou sawest the feet and toes, part of potters' clay, and part of iron, the kingdom shall be divided; but there shall be in it of the strength of the iron, forasmuch as thou sawest the iron mixed with miry clay.

42 And [as] the toes of the feet [were] part of iron, and part of clay, [so] the kingdom shall be partly strong, and partly broken.

43 And whereas thou sawest iron mixed with miry clay, they shall mingle themselves with the seed of men: but they shall not cleave one to another, even as iron is not mixed with clay. [DANIEL 2:41-43]

See all efforts by men in these last days trying to achieve National Unity; Regional Political Unity; Regional Economic unions; Religious Unity; Federations of states; League of Nations, Arab League; The Unite Nations; European Union; African Union; ECOWAS; East African Community; OPEC; All African Council of Churches; World Council of Churches; etc; etc. Whatever they do, they are fitting into Daniel’s image of Gold; Silver; Brass; Iron; and mixture of iron and miry clay prophecy. It is God’s prophecy upon all The Gentile POLITICAL, ECONOMIC, EDUCATIONAL, RELIGIOUS, SOCIAL AND MILITARY SYSTEMS. It cannot hold together. Man wants to achieve, but in his own way and effort, outside God’s provided way.

194-1 PERGAMEAN.CHURCH.AGE-CHURCH.AGE.BOOK CPT.5

Have we been able to notice the degenerating quality of leadership, in almost every nation under the sun, in Europe, Asia, Middle East, West Indies, East Indies, Africa, Latin America, and North America? We can use a few yard sticks such as: Personal Integrity in leadership; Exemplary moral standard; Self respect and dignity for the leadership position held; Accountability for erroneous behaviour; Transparency in use of accepted privileges. Restrained used of power and authority. Respect of God’s word.

History has it on record that God has manifested his displeasure and wrath upon leaders who disrespected his servants by not taking heed to the word sent to them as leaders.

1. Pharaoh of Egypt lost his entire Army and chariots in the Red Sea for disrespecting God’s vindicated Prophet Moses.

2. King Ahab, of Israel was shot by a stray arrow and His body was eaten by dogs. He had tacitly sanctioned idol worship during his reign.

3. King Herod was eaten by worms while he was still alive and talking. He accepted being equated to God.

4. King Hezekiah of Israel was deposed, had his eyes gauged out by a hot metal before he was taken captive and refugee in exile where he was killed. He had burnt Jeremiah’s scrolls twice.

5. In our day, a few leaders who took upon themselves the Titles of Jesus Christ namely: “KING OF KINGS”; “LION OF THE TRIBE OF JUDAH”; “MESSIAH” etc, have not ended well.

The list is long and our modern times have similar cases. You can pick your own examples.

When Israel sinned exceedingly in the days of Prophets Jeremiah, and Ezekiel and refused to repent, God also refused any intercessory prayers made for it. The Bible says: [Proverb 14:34] “Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin [is] a reproach to any people.”

JEREMIAH’S INTERCESSIONS WERE TURNED DOWN BY GOD

[JEREMIAH 15:1-3]

1. Then said the LORD unto me, though Moses and Samuel stood before me, [yet] my mind [could] not [be] toward this people: cast [them] out of my sight, and let them go forth.

2. And it shall come to pass, if they say unto thee, whither shall we go forth? Then thou shalt tell them, Thus saith the LORD; Such as [are] for death, to death; and such as [are] for the sword, to the sword; and such as [are] for the famine, to the famine; and such as [are] for the captivity, to the captivity.

3. And I will appoint over them four kinds, saith the LORD: the sword to slay, and the dogs to tear, and the fowls of the heaven, and the beasts of the earth, to devour and destroy.

THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF EACH INDIVIDUAL WILL DELIVER EACH PERSON

[EZEKIEL 14:12-14, 20]

12. The word of the LORD came again to me, saying,

13. Son of man, when the land sinneth against me by trespassing grievously, then will I stretch out mine hand upon it, and will break the staff of the bread thereof, and will send famine upon it, and will cut off man and beast from it:

14. Though these three men, Noah, Daniel, and Job, were in it, they should deliver [but] their own souls by their righteousness, saith the Lord GOD.

20. Though Noah, Daniel, and Job,[were] in it, [as] I live, saith the Lord GOD, they shall deliver  neither son nor daughter; they shall [but] deliver their own souls by their righteousness.

How are we gentiles doing as nations, and individuals in the face of Daniel’s Prophecy? A Nobel Price Writer wrote a book called “THINGS FALL APART.” Truly if the center of anything cannot hold, then the inevitable follows. When God is left out in an individual life, or in a national life nothing holds.

The vindicated Prophet Messenger to this age of Laodicea, said: QUOTE:

SEVEN.CHURCH.AGES_JEFF.INV-26 N-2WEDNESDAY_54-0512

21. "Now, in this it's to my humble belief that we are living in the closing days of the world's history. I want to make that real clear. Now, I could be wrong. I don't know. No one else knows. Jesus said, "Not even the Angels of heaven would know." He didn't know Himself. He said, "That's only by the Father, is the only One Who knows." But it's sure and authentic that He is returning. And I just can't see anything else left but the coming of the Lord.

When I look and see the nation's broke... I see politics broke. I see the homes broke. I see the church broke. Now, there's just nothing else can mend it but God; that's all, 'cause they have not nothing else. The morals of the nation's broke. And the political parties are broken. Where we trusted so much in our politics, they are broke.

And some great fellow in England not long ago, said, "Well, democracy was all sails and no anchor." That said, "There'd come a time that they'd be on soap boxes, electioneering." Well, that's true. But he didn't think of his own beloved Houses of Lords, how it was a lot of sails and no anchor too. It flew away also.

And every kingdom of this world will be broke to pieces. Jesus Christ will rule and reign. “

The nature of the Gentile world system is showing the nature of Daniel’s image at the feet.

When Daniel’s prophecy of “iron and miry clay no longer holding together”, begins to manifest in politics, religion, education, science, nations, marriages, family life, then THE STONE CUT WITHOUT HANDS IS READY TO SMITE THE IMAGE AND ESTABLISH HIS KINGDOM WHICH WILL STAND FOR ETERNITY: [DANIEL 2:42-45]

“42. And as the toes of the feet were part of iron, and part of clay, so the kingdom shall be partly strong, and partly broken.

43. And whereas thou sawest iron mixed with miry clay, they shall mingle themselves with the seed of men: but they shall not cleave one to another, even as iron is not mixed with clay.

44. And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever.

45. Forasmuch as thou sawest that the stone was cut out of the mountain without hands, and that it brake in pieces the iron, the brass, the clay, the silver, and the gold; the great God hath made known to the king what shall come to pass hereafter: and the dream is certain, and the interpretation thereof sure."

Will the unbelief as in Noah’s days also show up this time too? Yes! Jesus said: “As it was in Noah’s days so shall it be at the coming of the son of man”

The usual daily life activities will go on as all other days: eating, drinking, marrying, divorcing, buying, selling, planting, building, until the flood came.

The mockery, the ridicule, will repeat as it was given to Lot by his own sons-in-laws who perished in the fire and brimstone which consumed the dwellers of Sodom and Gomorrah. [Gen 19:14]

“And Lot went out, and spake unto his sons in law, which married his daughters, and said, Up, get you out of this place; for the LORD will destroy this city. But he seemed as one that mocked unto his sons in law. “

Again it will not be a group, or a systems affair. It will be a harvest of individuals who are born not of the corruptible seed but of incorruptible by the word of God, which liveth and abideth forever. Daniel seed word has matured. The Babylonian System is history. The Medo-Persian System is History. The Grecian System of Alexander the great is history. The Roman Empire which was and is manifesting itself as an ecclesiastical empire is in place now. It is gathering back its daughters, into an ecumenical union.

171-4. {374} Educated... This is the Satan's superman with education, with wisdom, with church theology of his own word, of his own making, and he rides his white denominational horse to deceive the people. And he will conquer every religion of the world, 'cause they've all going into the confederation of--of the--of churches and the world confederation of churches. And they already got their buildings built and everything setting right in line. There ain't one thing left. Every denomination's stuck right into it, the federation of churches. And what's backing it? Rome. And the pope's now crying, "We're all one. Let's come together and walk together."

But remember, Daniel’s prophecy says iron and miry clay cannot hold together. “Can two walk togetherexcept they be agreed?” [Amos3:3]. The stone cut without hands will settle this new tower of Babel once and for all. Bride, wake up. The fig Tree is at Home. Jerusalem is no longer under gentiles’ control. How much is left of the Gentile’s time? Malachi 4:5-6 has come and restored the elect back to the faith of the Fathers. The Elect is called out. The Lot’s group is heading for the ecumenical council. The Sodom condition which is unstoppable is over every nation on the planet. The 3 seeds have already been sown: THE DENOMINATIONAL SEED; THE PENTECOSTAL SEED; and THEWORD. Now you are what you have been feeding on. If you say you are in the message but have been feeding on any of these “PERVERTED VERSIONS OF THE MESSAGE” floating around, make up your own conclusion what crop you will be at the harvest. The stage is set for the final harvest. Look up your redemption draws nigh. It is harvest time again. What seed have you been made up of? Remember each will bring forth of its kind. This is the law of God concerning seed.

“GOD BLESS YOU AS YOU EXAMINE YOURSELF”, IS MY PRAYER FOR YOU.
