THE SIGNS OF HIS COMING
ARE CAUSED BY HIS COMING
The word of the Lord came unto me saying:
I am the New Jerusalem that came down out of heaven.
Revelation is the revelation of Jesus Christ, the manifestation of Christ
at His coming. Many signs and wonders, both good and bad will precede My
coming. For I am holy and righteous and pure and radiant. I am coming. I
am appearing. I am approaching. There is turbulence that goes before My
coming. The turbulence has to do with My coming. As the days draw near,
the intensity of My coming heightens. My presence brings forth the
earthquakes, the lightning and the thunder, the darkened sky. The earth
shudders in My glory, in My presence.
When I came before, I came in human flesh. I was lifted up and I drew men
unto Me. I arose and ascended to My Father and sat down at the right hand
of His glory. I was glorified. I first came in meekness and humility. I
left My glory to suffer the shame. But when I come again I will come in
all of My power and glory—and all the world shall know that I AM that I
AM.
The signs of the times are the signs of My coming. They are the
manifestations of My coming. They are the consequences of My coming. When
the light shines the darkness is revealed. All that is on the side of evil
will come to light. All that has been hidden will surface. Therefore, I
have said in My holy and righteous word, evil will increase to the highest
height.
But all that is in the light will shake at My coming—the earth, the
heavens, and all that is upon the earth. And the shaking that is now
coming upon My Body in the earth is itself a manifestation of My coming.
When I approach in all of My glory, sin is exposed, whether in the world
or in the hearts of My holy ones. Sin has to be exposed because it cannot
remain hidden in the presence of My light and My glory. But in My
presence, though mighty and fearful, is My grace. Grace always comes
before My wrath. Patience and mercy precede My judgement. Time and grace
are given—plenty of time has been given for My holy ones to repent and
turn to the light.
But now, as I approach, as I draw nearer to that day, My grace, My mercy,
My patience will have passed you by and the time of My wrath will be upon
you. Those who are hidden in Me, those who love Me with a whole heart,
those who abide in Me and My Word and are led by My Spirit will be saved.
They will not be touched by the fury of My wrath. They shall not be
shaken for they have built their house upon the rock.
But those who rebel at My biddings, those who willfully go after their own
ways will come under My judgements. My judgements are righteous and just
and holy. In that day, when I am fully revealed, men everywhere will know
that I am the Lord their God. In that day, they will fall upon their faces
and weep and wail and mourn and beg for pardon. But none shall be found.
For grace and mercy and longsuffering precede My righteous judgements. And
while they shall beg for pardon, yet shall they all know that I am just
and righteous and fair, and that My rewards are just and righteous and
fair.
Now is the day of your salvation. Now is grace and mercy passing in front
of you. Now is the time to repent, to humble yourselves, to turn to Me
with a whole heart. Soon, very soon, the world will be falling apart. The
earth will rock and reel on its axis. The moon and the stars shall be
darkened. Evil will erupt everywhere. Safety will be hard to find. Men
will seek My face and will not find it. For tribulation and My indignation
shall be felt upon the face of the earth everywhere. Now is the time to
press into Me . . . to be hidden in Me . . . for what is of Me shall be
sifted by Me.
