Taking of Peace

I hear the LORD saying that He is taking peace from the earth. You see it all around you: racially, sexually, politically, religiously...in marriage and families, cities, states, churches, countries....all the while, evil men with no loyalty to Jesus' ownership of the world keep promising MORE peace!

The nations are "laboring in vain" for unity and peace if they try to bring those aspects of Jesus' government to earth outside of a consuming zeal for Jesus and His leadership...outside of a zeal for His house to be the government of the earth. No politician...anywhere on the planet that I have ever heard of...is campaigning on the platform of doing all he or she can to ready the earth for the return of its true political leader. Anything less than a "glory campaign" is "laboring in vain"....when will the church agree with the clear statement of her beloved?

Habakkuk 2:12-14 “Woe to him who builds a town with bloodshed, Who establishes a city by iniquity! Behold, is it not of the Lord of hosts That the peoples labor to feed the fire, And nations weary themselves in vain? For the earth will be filled With the knowledge of the glory of the Lord , As the waters cover the sea.

The church will agree when Her beloved makes it clear by removing ALL peace not completely loyal to Him! Ugh, are you ready for this? This is a promised reality of the end times that many are witnessing without understanding.

Revelation 6:3-4 When He opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature saying, “Come and see.” Another horse, fiery red, went out. And it was granted to the one who sat on it to take peace from the earth, and that people should kill one another; and there was given to him a great sword.

Who is opening the seals? The Lamb...Jesus! Jesus will allow peace to be taken in order to demonstrate that peace is a gift of His leadership alone. No one else is the Prince of Peace. Disagreeing with this reality, even in subtle ways, will cause many to fall into the trap of arrogance...believing peace is a construct of man's logic.

Not understanding the promised removal of peace will lead many into the trap... The test being set up by God. Did you know you are being tested right now? If you believe Jesus is returning, then you also must believe His return will test the whole earth!

Revelation 3:10-11 Because you have kept My command to persevere, I also will keep you from the hour of trial which shall come upon the whole world, to test those who dwell on the earth. Behold, I am coming quickly! Hold fast what you have, that no one may take your crown.

The end time test arranged by God...promised by God...will take crowns from many believers who have labored for years in the harvest, because it is designed to test the motivation of that labor....was it for God or to "make a name for yourself? Was the work you did for the LORD growing out of a longing to see Him return, or a desire to make yourself more comfortable in His house before He came home? Were you hastening the day of His return, or ignoring the whole point of your faith, which is to be rejoined face to face with God. Many are in for the shock of their lives as Jesus's return unfolds...some will be amazed at how they have longed for this... Others, even many leaders in the church, will fight Jesus' plan to return every step of the way... Scoffing it....looking for people to fix the lack of peace their king is orchestrating...Ugh! You must look for and hasten His return, otherwise, you might find yourself fighting it IN HIS NAME!

II Peter 3:1-13 Beloved, I now write to you this second epistle (in both of which I stir up your pure minds by way of reminder), 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, knowing this first: that scoffers will come in the last days, walking according to their own lusts, 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 creation.” For this they willfully forget: that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of water and in the water, by which the world that then existed perished, being flooded with water. But the heavens and the earth which are now preserved by the same word, are reserved for fire until the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men. But, beloved, do not forget this one thing, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance. But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night, in which the heavens will pass away with a great noise, and the elements will melt with fervent heat; both the earth and the works that are in it will be burned up. Therefore, since all these things will be dissolved, what manner of persons ought you to be in holy conduct and godliness, looking for and hastening the coming of the day of God, because of which the heavens will be dissolved, being on fire, and the elements will melt with fervent heat? Nevertheless we, according to His promise, look for new heavens and a new earth in which righteousness dwells.

Hearts within the church...right now...by events in the news... are being tested for loyalty to Jesus. The test has two parts with two purposes: to test the church, then the world.

I Peter 4:17 For the time has come for judgment to begin at the house of God; and if it begins with us first, what will be the end of those who do not obey the gospel of God?

The test is 7 years long and the first 3.5 years is aimed at the church, to ready her to lead the world through the test. Right now, the church is being pulled apart by race, sexuality and gender issues, politics, relevance (identity)… loyalty to truth...The test being arranged has a very specific purpose: to lead people into safety IF they will humble themselves and believe the end time shepherds. Many will. Many won’t.

Right now, the LORD is giving voice to His end time shepherds. As peace wanes in the earth, their voice is becoming more relevant and it is being seen for the prophetic release of love that it really is, as unsettling as it may be. It is really important to sift your thoughts about the end time. You attitude about it will literally determine your experience of it. Trying to hang on to the old power structures in the church and the world will leave you being judged with them. Shepherds were promised to help bring clarity to those separating from the old, or being sanctified by the Word. Those end time shepherds are being sent out more and more, even in this hour:

Jeremiah 3:14-17 “Return, O backsliding children,” says the Lord ; “for I am married to you. I will take you, one from a city and two from a family, and I will bring you to Zion. And I will give you shepherds according to My heart, who will feed you with knowledge and understanding. “Then it shall come to pass, when you are multiplied and increased in the land in those days,” says the Lord , “that they will say no more, ‘The ark of the covenant of the Lord .’ It shall not come to mind, nor shall they remember it, nor shall they visit it, nor shall it be made anymore. “At that time Jerusalem shall be called The Throne of the Lord , and all the nations shall be gathered to it, to the name of the Lord , to Jerusalem. No more shall they follow the dictates of their evil hearts."

This is an end time passage describing the sifting of the earth...the sifting of the desire of the people of the earth. Those who desire what God desires...to be face to face with mankind... They will be the ones who see the shepherds God is giving. The rest of the world...The ones that don't really care much to understand what is happening around them, because the truth is they don't care much whether or not Jesus really comes back... they will actually be a part of the removal of peace. They will resist God's end time sifting and will literally kill those God is sanctifying, or "separating out" for Himself.

"Shepherds after my own heart" is a direct reference to David, the "man after God's own heart." These shepherds will lead God's people out of the old ways and into David's strange yet effective way of bringing HEAVEN'S GOVERNMENT TO EARTH. God brought up David for Himself. Yes, the people benefited from David, but God anointed David for His own enjoyment.

Psalms 89:20-27 I have found My servant David; With My holy oil I have anointed him, With whom My hand shall be established; Also My arm shall strengthen him. The enemy shall not outwit him, Nor the son of wickedness afflict him. I will beat down his foes before his face, And plague those who hate him. “But My faithfulness and My mercy shall be with him, And in My name his horn shall be exalted. Also I will set his hand over the sea, And his right hand over the rivers. He shall cry to Me, ‘You are my Father, My God, and the rock of my salvation.’ Also I will make him My firstborn, The highest of the kings of the earth.

If you want to be safe through the removal of peace, then you really need to get serious about listening to the Davidic shepherds leading people to safety in the end times. The only church left standing at the end of the Great Tribulation will be the night and day praying bride! Seven divided and spotty churches go into the tribulation, and out will pop one pure, spotless, lovesick bride who won't stop crying out for the Prince of Peace to come home!

Luke 18:7-8 And shall God not avenge His own elect who cry out day and night to Him, though He bears long with them? I tell you that He will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will He really find faith on the earth?”

You see the peace bring taken....but do you see the shepherds? Do you see them leading flocks...cities of people... into safety? There is only one safe place in the end times, according to the Bible: the Philadelphia reality.

Philadelphia means "brotherly love" ... which is really God (good) government!...and the city-church that lives in this reality will be safe during the removal of peace from planet earth. They will be "kept from the testing" with victory, because they have already passed the test. Building the tabernacle is the "pretest" to the reality that will demonstrate the tabernacle is the only safe place.

That is what the Philadelphian church reality all over the earth will be famous for: Philadelphia actually uses the key of David...They don't just know about out, believe maybe it works, think on it curiously...No! They make it their only plan...and it works. DAVIDS KEY IS NIGHT AND DAY PRAYER AS A POLITICAL AND GOVERNMENTAL SOLUTION. It unlocks the heavens so the LORD of glory will rule over the geography...so the Prince of Peace can bring peace by the invitation of the people.

Revelation 3:7-13 “And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write, ‘These things says He who is holy, He who is true, “He who has the key of David, He who opens and no one shuts, and shuts and no one opens” : “I know your works. See, I have set before you an open door, and no one can shut it; for you have a little strength, have kept My word, and have not denied My name. Indeed I will make those of the synagogue of Satan, who say they are Jews and are not, but lie—indeed I will make them come and worship before your feet, and to know that I have loved you. Because you have kept My command to persevere, I also will keep you from the hour of trial which shall come upon the whole world, to test those who dwell on the earth. Behold, I am coming quickly! Hold fast what you have, that no one may take your crown. He who overcomes, I will make him a pillar in the temple of My God, and he shall go out no more. I will write on him the name of My God and the name of the city of My God, the New Jerusalem, which comes down out of heaven from My God. And I will write on him My new name. “He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.” ’

Philadelphia is all about worship, loving God with all your heart, mind, soul , and strength, as the solution to the taking of peace, which is countered by the overflow of the first commandment into "loving your neighbor as yourself." Jesus is simply orchestrating the end time events to show the fundamental truths of the Bible are, in fact true. The first and second commandment will be demonstrated to be more true than you can imagine. Loving God wholeheartedly as a community...night and day prayer as your end time safety plan...will be shown to be the wisest thing a person could have done as peace...brotherly love...manifests in the it the time peace is being removed from the rebellious places of the earth.

Those who say they are Jesus' people, but look for other... more practical...solutions WILL worship at the feet of those who longed for Him to reign at the cost of every other hope. On Christ the solid rock they stand....all other ground is sinking sand.

in Psalm 43 David explains his theology: there are treacherous ones all around Him in Israel. Self appointed people of God who have no real faith in God's power to deliver oppose those who are loyal to God. BUT, David sees what the LORD is doing! He is allowing the darkness to highlight the light. The taking of peace is illuminating the true place where peace cannot be taken... In the tabernacle! Is the tabernacle where you are being led to, or are you hoping for another, more practical solution?

Psalms 43:1-5 Vindicate me, O God, And plead my cause against an ungodly nation; Oh, deliver me from the deceitful and unjust man! For You are the God of my strength; Why do You cast me off? Why do I go mourning because of the oppression of the enemy? Oh, send out Your light and Your truth! Let them lead me; Let them bring me to Your holy hill And to Your tabernacle. Then I will go to the altar of God, To God my exceeding joy; And on the harp I will praise You, O God, my God. Why are you cast down, O my soul? And why are you disquieted within me? Hope in God; For I shall yet praise Him, The help of my countenance and my God.
