| The Gate Of Gad |
“Blow ye the trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm in my holy
mountain: let all the inhabitants of the land tremble: for the day of the LORD
cometh, for it is nigh at hand; A day of darkness and of gloominess, a day of
clouds and of thick darkness, as the morning spread upon the mountains: a great
people and a strong; there hath not been ever the like, neither shall be any
more after it, even to the years of many generations. A fire devoureth before
them; and behind them a flame burneth: the land is as the garden of Eden before
them, and behind them a desolate wilderness; yea, and nothing shall escape
them. The appearance of them is as the appearance of horses; and as horsemen,
so shall they run. Like the noise of chariots on the tops of mountains shall
they leap, like the noise of a flame of fire that devoureth the stubble, as a
strong people set in battle array. Before their face the people shall be much
pained: all faces shall gather blackness. They shall run like mighty men; they
shall climb the wall like men of war; and they shall march every one on his
ways, and they shall not break their ranks: Neither shall one thrust another;
they shall walk every one in his path: and when they fall upon the sword, they
shall not be wounded. They shall run to and fro in the city; they shall run
upon the wall, they shall climb up upon the houses; they shall enter in at the
windows like a thief. The earth shall quake before them; the heavens shall
tremble: the sun and the moon shall be dark, and the stars shall withdraw their
shining: And the LORD shall utter his voice before his army: for his camp is
very great: for he is strong that executeth his word: for the day of the LORD
is great and very terrible; and who can abide it?” Joel
2:1-11 KJV
“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
shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein
shall be burned up. Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what
manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness,
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? Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new
earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness. Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look
for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without
spot, and blameless.” 2 Peter 3:10-14 KJV
When Leah saw that she had left bearing, she took Zilpah her maid, and gave her Jacob to wife. And Zilpah Leah's maid bare Jacob a son. And Leah said, A troop cometh: and she called his name Gad. Genesis 30:9-11 KJV
Of the tribe of Juda
were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Reuben were sealed twelve
thousand. Of the tribe of Gad were sealed twelve thousand. Revelation 7:5 KJV
( Two Visions )
“Then the Angel which was supporting me took me up and
beside the Gate of Gad wherein I saw a most fearsome sight. The Gate was opened
wide and standing in the arches of the Gate and out toward the earth was the
fully assembled Army of the Lord. An Army of great people, a strong people, I
have not ever seen such an Army to be so feared as this Army of the Lord.
They stood in perfect order, rank upon rank, order upon
order, each one in place in perfect rows with each one being identical in the
armoring of a soldier representing the Lord in His power and purpose. They
stood from the entrance of the Gate of Gad facing outwards towards the earth
and they were at this first point standing still.
Above them I saw the Lord bending over the Army in the
atmosphere above their heads. I could see the side of the Lord, His flowing
garments and the strength of his thigh I could see through the garments he
wore. The garments were very hard for me to see as the Lord was covered in a
thick dark cloud above the Army. I could see the side of His face and of His
hairs and I could see His forehead furrowed with deep wrath and intensity. The
Lord stretched Himself out over the heads of His Army, perfectly aligning His
body with the line of the Army that stood in the Gate of Gad. As the Lord
stretched forth His body over the heads of the Army I saw Him open His mouth
and utter speech which I could not comprehend or hear correctly. It was not
verbiage, but FIRE which came forth of the speech of the Lord over His Army.
Not words, but an utterance, the fruit of which were huge billows of fire
enfolding in upon itself laced with dark smoke and much tumult in the billowing
of the flames.
As soon as the Lord uttered His voice the fire came forth
from Him. It must be noted that to look upon His face was to look upon the
Jasper and the Sardine stone, these stones of Grace and Wrath, of Love and of
Fury.
“And he that sat was to
look upon like a jasper and a sardine stone: and there was a rainbow round
about the throne, in sight like unto an emerald.” Revelation 4:3 KJV
The anger of the Lord was kindled in this fire which was now
over the heads of His Troops and came forth in front of their ranks before
them. The fire now went forth before the Army and as it did, the Army began to
march forward in the billowing flames of fire and began to traverse the earth.
There was a great noise as the Army went forward, with huge billowing flames of
fire round about them and over them and in front of them. I saw the earth give
way before their weight and the earth crumbled to dust under the footfalls of
these whom the Lord had called His “Overcomers”. There was no place on the
earth that the total destruction of this Army did not touch. And I saw that
just as the Jasper and the Sardine Stones were visible in the face of God, even
so the Army marched forward in the very same Jasper and Sardine Stone, both the
Love and the Wrath of God. “
( End 1st Vision )
“ I beheld the end ranks of the Army going forward and
behind them was Jesus walking. As He walked the earth and the nations around
the earth came as little children to Jesus and He embraced them and held them
and succored each one who came out of the destroyed earth unto Him. Each one in
turn came to Jesus, many children from all corners of the earth would come.
These were people from all walks of life, coming to Jesus as though they were
little children for Christ had said “Suffer the little children to come unto
Me”. Each one, even if they were adults, came as little children.” Mark 10:14.
( End 2nd
Vision )
The
Gate of Gad: A band, a troop, and Army. Now we come
to the Gate of Gad and see that it represent to us two stark contrasts. For
this Gate represents several aspects of the timing and the workings of the
Spirit of the Lord in both the Heavens and the Earth THROUGH those who have
overcome. For anyone to come to this Gate, they must come as ones fully yielded
to the Father, readied at any time to do His will and to finish His workings in
the earth. This Gate wide open with the color of
Standing within the Gate of Gad will be the fully assembled company of Overcomers, those who have overcome all trials and testings and have come through their lives as ones fully trusting their savior to keep them and hold them unto His perfect will. It is here within the arches of this Gate that the Army will gather in Bodies Glorified, in bodies of flesh and blood of the NEW Creation, not of the old. As the Army of God gathers here, they will have NO duality, NO division, NO death in them. They will be New Creations, in New Bodies eternal, Bodies from above, made new and ranked and ordered after the full intent and purpose of God. These are they who Christ at His appearing came to and gathered unto Himself in the 1st resurrection being raised from the dead or out from among those who are subject to death.
“And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was
given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness
of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast,
neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in
their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years. But the
rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This
is the first resurrection. Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first
resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests
of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.” Revelation 20:4-6 KJV
In the world today the kingdoms of men and the governments of the world through the United Nations, NATO and other agencies strive together to create an amicable peace between themselves. Nation after nation sends ambassadors to their gathered political assemblies to create and maintain peace and dialogue between themselves. Whenever a nation arises to overpower another war is the result. Since the time of Jesus historically, there has only been part of one single year in human history which has not had a war somewhere in the earth. Every other year since the time of Christ until now has had war somewhere amongst men. Truly, carnal politics in the minds of men and world leaders are not able to bring this peace that is needed. Not only so, but this peace is continually tested through the race of weapon building and armaments which are dreadful in their power and ability to destroy creation. As a result we have nations in continual peaceful dialogue to prevent even more horrific wars and conflagrations which would decimate what is left of this earthen home.
The other aspect of the nations of the earth in their
separations from God is the continual prominence of leaders and kingdoms. Men
are continually being voted into office or usurping power or ruling and
reigning as monarchs in the earth amongst the nations. There is a continual
electoral battle as
Not just so, but the nations of the earth also work together through various groups, agencies, governments and kingdoms to preserve and protect the environment and the natural health of the earth. Where ever man lives, the earth and the environment is effected. Pollutions from the advancement of man in invention and employment has caused the earth to reel under the weight of what we call ‘progress’. The mining and acquiring of the earth’s resources and petroleum has polluted the land, air and water as never before in history. The industry of man has always caused the earth to be tainted.
Into this mix of world history the Lord will introduce His Army.
Those whom Jesus called His “Overcomers”.
These whom He has raised out from among the dead.
The Army of the Lord is the future working of God in the
earth. One of the next things that God will do ( and I say this prophetically )
is to manifest and march forward THIS ARMY. And the Army of the Lord will be
fearsome indeed. For this Army WILL UTTERLY DESTROY THE DOMINIONS AND KINGDOMS OF
MEN. THIS ARMY WILL TOTALLY DESTROY THIS NATURAL EARTHEN CREATION. There will
not be one molecule of the earth that will not be consumed by the fire of God
that engulfs and enfolds in upon itself through the forward marching of this
Army. This Army will ‘blacken’ the faces of the peoples. “At their
presence the peoples are in anguish; all faces are waxed pale.” Joel 2:6 ASV This Army coming forth from the Gate of Gad will utterly
destroy this world entirely, nothing of the former earth and world system will
remain. The Army of the Lord in its forward march will completely bring to
utter burning and destruction and ruin everything that was a partaker of the
fall away from the Lord in the original garden of Eden and of partaking of the
Tree of the knowledge of good and evil.
THIS IS A LITERAL FUTURE WORLD
EVENT.
None of the newscasts will
survive this. None of the governments or kingdoms, monarchs or political
leaders will be able to do anything at all about it. A little troop is coming
dear reader, those who overcame as Jesus overcame, and this little troop, this
little insignificant cast out number of people, small in numbers, will utterly
destroy all that relates to the present world you see now in your newscasts.
There is no nation, strong or weak which this Army will not completely
decimate. There is no financial system or money system which this Army will not
completely disannul and make completely useless. There will be no army on the
earth which can touch these. The armies of the nations can amass their weaponry
and missiles and artillery and point them and fire them at the Army of the Lord
if they want and it will have no effect whatsoever on this troop, for they are
in Glorified Bodies. The world could try to resist them, but they will totally
fail in that resistance. They can try to hide from them, but there is nowhere
to hide. There is a future element coming to this world in its politics,
economies and religions which is an element and an answer from the Lord
Himself. And that element is the little marching Army of His own Overcomers.
These will totally destroy what you see around you.
Look upon the newscasts, the
state of the world, the state of world economies or the religions that are
raging one against the other or religion against politics or national
identities. Look upon them and see that they will be no more. For this little
Troop from the Gate of Gad WILL TOTALLY DESTROY EVERYTHING IN THIS PRESENT
WORLD. It matters not now if treaties are signed, if a nation rises against a
nation or a kingdom against a kingdom. It matters not if man invents new ways
of having nicer technology or if monies increase and men gain wealth. It
matters not if man saves for retirement or for their future life in this world.
It matters not if there be tumults and strife of one person over another or of
courts or lawmakers or decisions as relates to individuals, corp-orations,
kingdoms or nations. It matters not for all of this, every single bit of it is
destined FOR THE FIRE WHICH IS BEFORE THIS LITTLE ARMY. All of it will be
totally consumed.
And it matters not of the
pollutions of the earth, the mess man has made of this fallen creation, and the
elements of the earth that are in severe imbalance. For this Army will consume
all the elements which will all pass away with a fervent heat.
Dear reader, if you are an
Overcomer, then you will be brought to the Gate of Gad. At this Gate you will
be placed in perfect order and rank in the Army of the Lord to march forward TO
DESTROY EVERYTHING IN THIS NATURAL EARTH. You will be an instrument of the
Judgment of God, a syllable of His voice, the tone of His wrath and in this
Judgment you will consume and destroy every single element of this world, both
the natural creation and the spiritual creation. Both the elements of the
tangible earth as well as the non tangible elements of emotion and man’s carnal
reasonings. Everything relating to man apart from God and this earth that
abides under the curse of God will be destroyed BY YOU THE OVERCOMER.
Your
work oh Saint of the Lord will be to DESTROY.
And this destruction, this
marching forward in the billowing fire of God will end all of this curse, all
of man’s ways and all of mans nations and kingdoms. There will be nothing of
this world order that will survive this Army. We will break down peaceful
barriers. We will break down attempts to protect this world. Every man made
attempt at right living will also be destroyed. There is NOTHING GOOD OR EVIL
WHICH WILL SURVIVE THE MARCHING OF THIS ARMY. These come forth as the Army of the
Lord in 1st resurrection in Bodies which cannot die. And they will
jealously march forward with the Jasper expression of God as their light and
grace to show unto the world the open element of the love of God in the earth.
But they will also march forward in the Sardine expression of God to show forth
His fury and wrath and desire to destroy completely all this which is of His
original creation which fell away. It is this Army of Overcomers who will
display openly to all men the Jasper Stone and the Sardine Stone in the facial
elements of God. This is not a ‘mystical reality’. This is real. There will be
an actual real people come forth in this real natural world, but these people
will be in Glorified Bodies and they will be as Jesus body was when He arose from
the tomb. These bodies will be as His was IN THIS WORLD. And men, with natural
eyes and natural senses WILL SEE THIS ARMY.
If you have read my previous
writings on The New Jerusalem you have noted that the main purpose of God in
this City was to envelop and swallow up the natural creation into the Spiritual
creation. That the Spiritual would overtake and consume the natural. The Army
of the Lord marching forward from the Gate of Gad IS THE FIRST ELEMENT OF THIS
WORK OF GOD. It is the first expression of that which is “spiritual” swallowing
up in full consuming power this which is “natural”. For when the march is
completed, there will be no more curse, no more death, no more separation of
creation from its creator. All that God loves and cherishes as His due by His
creative and redemptive power will be returned to an Edenic state never to fall
away into the curse again. The tree of the knowledge of good and evil will have
borne the last of its fruit, no more separation or death will come from that
tree. The tree of life will now shine forth from the midst of the paradise of
God as the tree of life whose branches are for the healing of the nations.
The Lord is going to answer the
world by one simple gesture of His grace, and that is the forward march of His Army.
This Army will end what you see now and will usher in the completion needed for
the
“And I looked, and behold the
Gate of Simeon! And I saw as it were a small group, a little company of those that
HEARD AND OBEYED THE WORD OF GOD. And my heart rejoiced over the life that was
in this small little company of Saints.
