The Time of Supernatural Unleashing

“The Pharisees also with the Sadducees came, and tempting desired him that he would shew them a sign from heaven. A wicked and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given unto it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas. And he left them, and departed” (Matthew 16:1, 4).

They laugh at the Lord God’s miracles presented in the Bible, and call them fables. They scoff, and sneer and mock at the great I Am, who was, and is, and is to come.  They say where is His coming? Where is the evidence of God?  Where is power? Where is the divine? Where are today’s miracles?

To the fools who says, “There is no God,” I say, “Soon, very soon, signs shall come.”

The heavens shall peal back and the full glory, power and majesty of the Lord God Creator of the universe and His Son, our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, shall be as lightning and thunder and the time of great unleashing of the supernatural will fall upon Man, a time like never before in creation!  

But as for now the Lord God patiently executes His plan for the redemption of Man. He is all knowing, all powerful and ever present, but it will be in His timing, not Man’s.

We Reside in the Blessed Age of the Lamb of God

We are living in the days of fulfillment of the sign of Jonah, the resurrected Lamb of God, where the Lord God and Jesus Christ now reign over the Church Age — as His Bride is being prepared.  This Church Age, this age of grace, is a blessed time in which the Lord God has already given  his greatest sign and greatest miracle of all time through the sacrifice, death, and resurrection of His Son, our Savior Jesus Christ. 

We, too, are given the two greatest gifts of all time: The Holy Spirit to dwell in us and guide us in all things, and we hold in our hands the Word of God—the Bible. We are one of the generations Christ called out as blessed because we believe but do not see. 

For those who believe, His awesome power is overwhelming; it surrounds us, it fills us to overflowing, it empowers us and is readily apparent in everything good we know. We see and acknowledge His miracles occurring around us every day and see His readily evident glory in His creation.

Praise be to our Triune God. We adore and worship you!

However, it is clearly apparent in the Church Age that the Lord God has elected to have His miracles occur in an intimate seating for those who honor and glorify His Son’s blessed Name. It is also evident that the Lord God is consciously restraining the fullness of His almighty supernatural power and miraculous works for a set time of His choosing. And very soon the time of God’s great unleashing of His supernatural, almighty power shall arrive!

And thus it begins…

Once His Harvest field is ripe, the Lord God will reintroduce His almighty power by the supernatural removal of Jesus’ Bride, the Church of born-again believers, in the Rapture.                    

Thus will begin the Lord God’s shaking of Man’s perception that he lives in a universe in which he is the measure of all, and it will also be the beginning of God’s reclamation of the world from Satan and his lies. 

That split second after the Rapture occurs all of mankind will fall into complete spiritual darkness for the first time (I shudder at the thought). The Lamb  will leave Man utterly naked in their corruptions and abominations; there are absolutely none who do good. All those who are left are those who say in their hearts, “There is no God.” 

This unparalleled supernatural event will throw the people of world into chaos as they experience a phenomenon that shatters their manmade perceptions of reality. The unleashing of the supernatural begins as God lifts His mighty restraining hand and Satan is unleashed upon the earth.

The Lamb of God Unleashes…

Surrounded by His Church, the Lamb who was slain shall step forth as the only One found worthy to open the Lord God’s great Seven Sealed Scroll, and thus begins the seven-year Tribulation period—Daniel’s Seventieth Week. The Holy Lamb shall unleash all the supernatural judgments of seals, trumpets, and bowls upon those who dwell on the earth in ripples like the birth pains which proceeded this time. 

The judgments are sequential and shall come with power and flashes of lightning, rumblings, and peals of thunder all proclaiming to the earth God alone is to be feared, glorified and acknowledged as their creator.

Unleashing the Seal Judgments

In Revelation chapter six, God begins with five of the seven seals unleashing judgment. In the first four God loosens the restraints on Satan, and his son, the False Christ–the Antichrist/the Beast. He shall ride forth bringing the promise of peace by war, and on his heals shall follow starvation, plague and death over one fourth the earth. 

At first Man will say: “It is just another war; it is just another famine; it is just another plague.” But it shall be the bloodiest death toll the world has ever seen. As the grim bloodbath’s toll mounts many people will start to question if it is something more.

In the sixth seal the Lord God’s answers those who will listen, as he shakes the earth in His mighty hands, and mankind experiences an earthquake like none other, accompanied by a sun shrouded in thick darkness, a moon turned blood red, as meteors showers filling the skies and fall to earth. 

At that point they all shall say, “Fall on us and hide us from the face of him who sits on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb!”  But many will refuse to repent and glorify Him.

Unleashing the Trumpet Judgments

In Revelation chapters eight and nine, prior to God allowing six of the seven trumpets angels to announce their judgment, there is reverent silence in Heaven as God and all of heaven sorrows over the righteous wrath about to be unleashed against rebellious Man. 

On earth there is also a gap of time following the great earthquake as mankind recovers. Was a divine act of God, or was it Mother Nature responding to Man’s misuse of nature?

God answers by unleashing four successive unparalleled judgment blows against earth and those on it; hail and fire mixed with blood fall; a blazing huge mountain and great star blazing like a torch are sequentially thrown into the sea, and darkened skies cover the earth. The remaining people on earth are reeling, regrouping, and trying to recover as one third of all the life sustaining plants, animals and water are destroyed.

To whom shall we turn for life giving water and daily bread? God or government?  The Antichrist will answer he is one and the same. Many will follow him.

God answers comes by opening the shaft of the Abyss, where Satan’s long imprisoned minions are unleashed upon the earth for five months to mentally and physically torment those who chose to embrace the Antichrist and those unwilling to make a decision. 

With these five supernatural judgments complete and Man still in rebellion, God’s angel blasts the sixth trumpet and the largest army Man has ever seen executes His judgment upon the earth, and a third of mankind eternal fates is sealed by their death. The second death awaits those who refused to repent and glorify him.

Unleashing of the Two Witnesses

In Revelation chapter eleven, God sends His two great messengers of His Word, empowered with supernatural abilities for nearly three and one half years. Fire comes from their mouths and devours their enemies. They are empowered to cease the rain, turn the waters into blood and unleash upon the earth every kind of plague as often as they want.

Some shall call these witnesses tools of evil, others shall correctly attest they are part of God’s attempt to awaken Man, to topple his arrogance and stubbornness.

Unleashing the Bowl Judgments

In Revelation chapter sixteen, God completes the period of wrath by unleashing five bowls of judgment upon the remaining God-haters and inhabitants of earth. Angels pour bowls causing supernatural judgments:

Ugly and painful sores to break out upon those with the mark of the beast and beast worshipers; the seas, rivers and springs to turn to blood; the sun painfully burns and scorches people; and the world plunges into utter darkness.

Despite men gnawing their tongues in agony they curse God because of their pains and refuse to repent, fear and glorify God and acknowledged Him as their Creator.

The Lamb of God, the Lion of Judah

The sixth angel poured out his bowl which prompts Satan’s minions and hordes to gather in a place called Armageddon.  Now is the time for one of the most magnificent passages of Scripture in the Bible:

“And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war.  His eyes were as a flame  of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself.  And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God. 

And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.  And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS”  (Revelation 19:11-16).

It Is Done!

And the seventh angel poured out his bowl into the air; and there came a great voice out of God’s Heavenly throne, saying, It is done!  

The intense time of great unleashing of God’s long awaited supernatural power onto a God denying world is then completed. They demanded proof. They demanded a sign. The Lord God gave them sign, after sign, after sign and yet countless multitudes did not repent, and therefore shall spend their eternity in the lake of fire.  

But also from this time a great multitude, whom no man can number, out of every nation and tribe and people and tongue, shall stand before the throne and the Lamb, clothed in white robes, with palm branches in their hands; and they will cry out with a loud voice, saying, “Salvation to our God which sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb!”

Thanks be to you our Lord God Almighty! The One who is, who was and who is to come! We believe in the sign of Noah! Come for us our Lord Jesus, come. Come and reign over us in victory, and in power, and in glory! We, your Bride await you! 

Alleluia! For the Lord God omnipotent reigneth!
