| Removing The Death Veil |
And in this mountain shall the LORD of hosts make unto all
people a feast of fat things, a feast of wines on the lees, of fat things full
of marrow, of wines on the lees well refined. And he will destroy in this
mountain the face of the covering cast over all people, and the vail that is
spread over all nations. He will swallow up death in victory; and the Lord GOD
will wipe away tears from off all faces; and the rebuke of his people shall he
take away from off all the earth: for the LORD hath spoken it. And it shall be
said in that day, Lo, this is our God; we have waited for him, and he will save
us: this is the LORD; we have waited for him, we will be glad and rejoice in
his salvation. Isaiah 25:6-9
Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth. As
thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world.
And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also might be sanctified
through the truth. Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which
shall believe on me through their word; That they all may be one; as thou,
Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the
world may believe that thou hast sent me. And the glory which thou gavest me I
have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one: I in them, and thou
in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that
thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me. Father, I will
that they also, whom thou hast given me, be with me where I am; that they may
behold my glory, which thou hast given me: for thou lovedst me before the
foundation of the world. O righteous Father, the world hath not known thee: but
I have known thee, and these have known that thou hast sent me. And I have
declared unto them thy name, and will declare it: that the love wherewith thou
hast loved me may be in them, and I in them. John 17:17-26
And he said to them all, If any man will come after me,
let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me. For whosoever
will save his life shall lose it: but whosoever will lose his life for my sake,
the same shall save it. For what is a man advantaged, if he gain the whole
world, and lose himself, or be cast away? For whosoever shall be ashamed of me
and of my words, of him shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he shall come in
his own glory, and in his Father's, and of the holy angels. But I tell you of a
truth, there be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they
see the kingdom of God. Luke 9:23-27
( 2 Visions )
“Being then carried and held
in such a place as to behold the entire scope and circumference of the earth I
saw that the nations upon the earth had come to the full measure of iniquity
and false assumptions about their persons. The entire earth was blanketed in a
very dark shroud, like a black thick fog which was the first death, the death
that is unaware of the Lord because of the activated carnal mind. This vail of
death covered every portion of land and sea, the entire earth was choked in
this thick vail and yet men loved to have it so. Men rejoiced in their
carnality and in the vail which covered them and they did not see in themselves
anything that they thought was not life. So deluded had the earth become in
this mystery of iniquity. The vail then was the first death which covered men,
but in this time it had grown to such a dense fog of blackness that nothing
could be seen through the fog because of its intensity. I saw then God descend
and begin to release His creation and mankind from this fog. As God descended
to the earth He pressed forward His Spirit and began to lift this fog to
deliver mankind from it. This was then in my understanding of Isaiah 25:7 that
this was the vail spread over all nations. However as God began to lift this
vail from off of mankind, I saw that there were in the earth some very large
and high mountains and some very low and deep valleys. As God was lifting this
vail the mountains resisted God and refused to give up the height of this fog
unto God. The valleys also gathered in the blackness even greater and would not
yield to the lifting of this veil of death that God was doing at this time.
Both the mountains and the valleys held on to this fog, resisted God who did
this and tried not to yield and to surrender unto God the realm of the first
death which men loved. ”For God sent
not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him
might be saved. He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that
believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of
the only begotten Son of God. And this is the condemnation, that light is come
into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds
were evil. For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to
the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. But he that doeth truth cometh to
the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God. John
3:17-21 ( End
Vision )
“I saw the company of those
who are still overcoming AS ONE MAN upon a cross. Very clearly I saw the nails driven
in the hands and in the feet as this one was crucified in weakness and was
being surrendered up unto death. This company in this vision was the company of
those who will form the victorious Army of the Lord, those who will be granted
the title of “They that have overcome, even as I overcame” and who will be
granted the right to sit with the Lord upon the Throne of Glory for eternity.
These to whom the promise of the first resurrection was given. It was those who
I saw impaled upon this cross. What I saw around the cross was the earth and
the nations and the dealings of the Lord in the nations and in the affairs of
men. I saw the Lord working in a great shaking in the earth and in pouring out
His fury upon the nations who were ungodly and who rejoiced in the crucifixion
of this ONE MAN who was dying upon the cross. “And their
dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city, which spiritually is
called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified. And they of the
people and kindreds and tongues and nations shall see their dead bodies three
days and an half, and shall not suffer their dead bodies to be put in graves.
And they that dwell upon the earth shall rejoice over them, and make merry, and
shall send gifts one to another; because these two prophets tormented them that
dwelt on the earth.” Rev 11:8-10. As the nations rejoiced, the Lord increased the shakings,
and as the shakings increased, the level of tribulation and problems among men
increased in the earth. As these things increased THE BODY OF THE ONE MAN UPON
THE CROSS GOT HEAVIER UPON THE NAILS. This body sagged more and more under the
weight of its own flesh upon the cross even while the tribulation in the earth
increased. I saw that the nails held fast to the hands and feet, but the holes
made increased in size and the weight and the pain of the cross also increased.
So it is at this present time for those who are overcoming. The cross is
becoming more greater, not lesser and the world is increasing in great
tribulation, not less. Both these things are happening together at this time.
( End Vision )
Behold, the
whirlwind of the LORD goeth forth with fury, a continuing whirlwind: it shall
fall with pain upon the head of the wicked. The fierce anger of the LORD shall
not return, until he have done it, and until he have performed the intents of
his heart: in the latter days ye shall consider it. Jeremiah 30:23-24
( Prophecy
from Glenn H Jackson ) “Truly I say to you, in
this last hour I am raising up a group who shall minister “absolute truth” in
the fullness of conviction [the fullness of My power and love] and, as they go
forth with My “compassion” burning in their heart, the yoke-destroying,
burden-removing power abiding within them shall be continually released upon
all who cross their path. And “miracles” such as the earth has never seen
before shall manifest to a continually greater degree, and Satan and his forces
shall experience a “terror” that I have reserved for him until this time.” – “Let
this one thing become perfectly clear in the hearts of all those who truly love
Me: Cast down “any” ground of self-desire for if it is not cast down in a “spirit
of true repentance” then the “leaven” of it [unrighteousness] shall surely
consume them, and they shall become “impotent” in the face of Satan’s “assignment
of destruction and death” against them.”
(
End Prophecy from Glenn H Jackson )
The most wonderful truth about
the New Jerusalem is the fact that nothing unclean or defiled can enter into
its Gates nor abide in its street or lands. The City of the Lord cannot be
found with any defilement. It is a picture completed of the Body of Christ,
joined vitally to the Head which is The Lord Jesus Christ and by which this
body is formed. The City is the same as the Church, both are synonymous. In my
doctrine, I see the Two Witnesses, the Body of Christ, the Church of the living
God which was created by the Lord when He began to build it in the book of
Acts, and the New Jerusalem as being all the same thing. Each aspect though has
a different purpose. The church is the visible presence of believers in Jesus
that walks about on the earth now. The New Jerusalem is the glorified version
of this church. The Two Witnesses would then be the body of Christ in
contradiction to this present world order and the life of man in pride against
the things of the Lord. I do not see the arising of the Two Witnesses so much
as a future event as it is also a present reality of the Lord’s body in the
earth since Jesus ascended. There WILL BE an arising of those who have overcome
who will manifest in this manner, but it will be a corporate expression of the
Lord, not individual. Some maintain that it will be two individuals. I say that
I agree, but they will be “corporate” individuals, a group of people who form
the Lord’s body, fully yielded to His will in every respect and allowing the
Lord full sway in their lives in this time of increased trouble in the world
itself.
At this present time the
individuals who are allowed to walk the street of Gold in the midst of The New
Jerusalem are people who have been made holy and completely righteous and who
bear no duality. There is at the first a small group, a small company who will
enter by the Gates into this City to – in time – manifest fully the holiness of
the Lord through their very persons. In my doctrine I believe that one cannot
fully enter the New Jerusalem in the complete sense of the word if there is any
source of flesh or duality of the fallen nature in them, and that includes the
carnal mind. The Lord is presently working on that little company remnant who
will enter first into the full expression of the Lord when He appears. These
are the Overcomers, those who apprehend that for which the Lord apprehended
them. They are running a race, not of time or distance, but of endurance to
capture the prize. The prize being “to be found in Him” and with nothing of the
old former nature remembered or known ever again. The prize to them is to be
complete in Christ who is the head of all principality and power. These who are
overcoming all things still know they wrestle with a duality, they still have
the memory of flesh, the existence of flesh arising in them to oppose their
faith and to thwart their forward progress in the Overcomer’s walk. But the day
is coming when they will enter this City which will descend and settle upon the
earth in absolute purity and holiness and in total contradiction to all the
systems and kingdoms of men in the world. So at the first, the City is
restricting its entry to these selected few who will bear the full glory of the
Lord without measure.
But then the City WILL GROW. For
not only does the City require absolute holiness on the part of the individual
to enter it, but the City will grow in time to envelop not just the entire
earth and all the nations, but also the expanse and scope of the cosmos itself
including all ages and time periods previously done in this created world. The
vail of death will be removed in a single stroke through the lives of they that
overcame for they will be in this City to expand it and to bring it to full
measure, not just here and now, but for everyone in all time and in all
dimensions of each nation that does now or ever did exist. The ministry of the
expansion of the City of the Lord will cover those that are dead as well as
those that are living. There will be no difference between them. There will be
a literal time of this manifesting, it will be happening, and the overcomers
will be seen in glorified bodies manifesting this Kingdom which has no end.
In prophecy, I will say to you
the following. That the Lord is working in two ways in the world at this time.
First of all, He is allowing all things in the world that relates to the life
of men to come to a pinnacle. By all things I mean all things religiously,
politically and economically in this world. Know this, that the Lord created
the nations, but He never created governments. Man created governments. And all
that is governed by man includes all things economic, political and religious.
And it is all that man has governed that will come to this high pinnacle of
iniquity, a high tower as has never been before. Men will come to a place of
perplexity in the world which will never have been known before. Perplexity
that will have no answer or solution. So high will this pinnacle be that the
height of it will be beyond anything pride has known before. That is the first
thing the Lord is doing. He is allowing the rule of man to reach this pinnacle
that has not been seen ever before, not even during the 1st creation
which was destroyed by the flood or the tower of Babel which men built to make
a name for themselves. The tower they build now dwarfs the first one in the
book of Genesis. So high has this become. That cup of iniquity which was full
is overflowing, and the first work of the Lord is to bring this all to an
immense head.
The second thing the Lord is
doing in the world of men and in the earth right now is that He is only but at
the EARLY STAGES of the shakings of this pinnacle. He is beginning to shake
this pinnacle which in the days ahead of us will unfold as insurmountable
problems. In this shaking the Lord is going to expose the hearts of men and
their feeble attempt to look so wise. The refuge of lies which has been created
in scientific theory will be exposed as false and the refuge of lies which has
been created by the governments of men to protect themselves will be utterly
laid bare. The shakings you will see now will bring with them absolute chaos.
For the Lord will shake all things together in such a way that men will not be
able to do anything or find any solution nor will they be able to trust one
another with political thrusts or attempts at truces or treaties. All such will
wane into deception as the shakings continue. The pinnacle of high pride will
shake right to the ground and then to the very foundations, and all that men
have built in the past will be exposed and crumble to shreds by this shaking
that the Lord is only but beginning to do in this world and in the lives of
men.
So when you see the shakings
and you see the pinnacle of man reach to a height that is unsurpassed, see also
another miracle that the Lord is about to do. For right in the height of this,
and right on time, the personal crosses for the Overcomers will end, their
flesh will be completely removed from them by the death to self process, AND THE LORD WILL GLORIFY HIS COMPANY OF
OVERCOMERS. The world in the midst of this shaking and this torment of no
answers will then have added to the mix the glorified Army of the Lord. These
will be seen coming forth in bodies which cannot die, bodies eternal, bodies
that are clothed with the light of the Lord’s City, bodies that are raised as
was Jesus body from the tomb two millenniums ago. These will come forth, with
the Lord in front of them, AND THEY WILL UTTERLY DESTROY ALL THAT REMAINS OF
MAN’S PINNACLE OF PRIDE AND THEY WILL BRING TO A COMPLETE END THE SHAKINGS OF
THE LORD IN THE EARTH. And I am saying to you that in literal time when this
happens, that only one hour will be needed to bring a total end to the rule of
men. Only one hour will it take for the world to behold those who have overcome
and who now will take this creation called “the earth” back into a curse-less
state. When you watch the news casts, or read about things happening in the
world, things whether they be political, economic or religious, know that it is
the pinnacle being built and the shakings happening all at the same time. We
have only just begun to see great things happen which will increase in
intensity more and more as time marches on. This is all coming to a conclusion
when the Lord Himself will manifest His Overcomers, and they with perfect rank
and order will bring to an end the rule of men in a single stroke.
Then the inhabitants of the
nations, will bring the glory of THEIR nations, minus the government of men,
INTO THE CITY OF THE LORD. This City which demands absolute purity and holiness
in that which is created new is slated to grow and expand and to cover the
entire earth and to swallow up all the kingdoms of the earth into its Gates and
its Walls. NOTHING SHALL BE LEFT OUT OF THIS CITY EXCEPT THAT WHICH IS THE
UNGODLY UNCLEAN FALLEN PORTION OF MAN’S DEMISE. Each soul in perfect order
shall come into this and shall find their comfort in the waters of life, in the
tree of life in the midst of the street of the river and in the pasturelands of
the Mount Zion in the midst of this Holy place. Man shall then see the Lord’s
face and shall be glad that they were chosen to be brought into His glorious
presence. Great indeed shall this unfolding be as men cease from their own way
and come into the full presence of the Lord. This honor to complete this work
has fallen upon those who overcame.
“Thou, O king, sawest, and, behold, a great image. This
image, which was mighty, and whose brightness was excellent, stood before thee;
and the aspect thereof was terrible. As for this image, its head was of fine
gold, its breast and its arms of silver, its belly and its thighs of brass, its
legs of iron, its feet part of iron, and part of clay. Thou sawest till that a
stone was cut out without hands, which smote the image upon its feet that were
of iron and clay, and brake them in pieces. Then was the iron, the clay, the
brass, the silver, and the gold, broken in pieces together, and became like the
chaff of the summer threshing-floors; and the wind carried them away, so that
no place was found for them: and the stone that smote the image became a great
mountain, and filled the whole earth.” Daniel 2:31-35 ASV
