The mark of the beast - what is it - what it might be? There's a lot of things going around about this, and people have to look at scripture on this now. There's a very interesting theory - I shouldn't say theory, but there's something interesting the Lord showed me about the fig tree with this. I remember asking the Lord about this because a lot of people write in about this and the Lord said if you want to know about the mark of the beast, you have to go to the book of Mark. So, I did - in Mark: Chapter 11 and Chapter 13 - both cover the fig tree in association with the end times. 

I'm going to read from Mark: Chapter 11 - verses 12 through 14 and then verses 20 through 22 and then we're going to go to Mark: Chapter 13 and read…so, this is what it says…now the next day when they had come out from Bethany, he was hungry and seeing from afar a fig tree having leaves, he went to see if perhaps he would find something on it. When he came to it, he found nothing but leaves, for it was not the season for figs, and in response, Jesus said to it…let no one eat fruit from you ever again and his disciples heard it. Now in the morning, as they passed by, verse 20, they saw the fig dried up from the roots and Peter remembering, said to the Rabbi, look the fig tree which you cursed has withered away, so Jesus answered and said to them...have faith in God for assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain be removed and be cast into the sea and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says. If you go to Mark 13, now the fig tree pops up again. We'll start at verse 28, Mark: Chapter 13. 

Now learn this parable from the fig tree - when its branch has already become tender and puts forth leaves, you know that summer is near; even so you also, when you see these things happening know that it is near, even at the doors. Assuredly I say to you this generation will, by no means, pass away till all these things take place. Heaven and earth will pass away: but my words will, by no means, pass away - but of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the son, but only the Father. Take heed, watch and pray: for you do not know when the time is. It is like a man going to a far country who left his house and gave authority to His servants and to each his work and commanded the doorkeeper to watch. Watch therefore: for you do not know when the master of the house is coming, in the evening at midnight, at the crowing of the rooster or in the morning; lest coming suddenly he finds you sleeping. And what I say to you, I say to all.

There's more to this than that, but the Lord was talking about the fig tree and the signs of the times, wars, and rumors of wars and he's saying, just as you know when the fig tree gets its leaves and becomes tender you know summer is near. Why is he putting a fig tree in the middle of all this? Why does this fig tree keep popping up? 

There's a reason for this now...A little bit about the fig tree - the fig tree has a regular pattern - the leaves appear summer follows. When you see the leaves, you know summer is near. You know it's going to bear fruit in the same way when these signs, particularly the abomination of desolation appear, the world can know that the triumphant return of Jesus is near, at the door now, when you see the leaves. You know what happens in summer - it gets hot - it gets humid - the temperature rises - bugs come out in droves trees and plants, not only bloom but produce fruit. Now the fig tree has these because the fig tree is compared throughout the word, including here to Israel.

Figs are a shallow fibrous rooted species of tree, interestingly enough their wood is very weak, so I find it interesting that Israel keeps being compared to a fig tree and they have shallow fibrous roots - also the wood of the fig tree is weak and decays rapidly. What kept happening to Israel throughout the Bible is they had shallow roots, so they constantly strayed from worshiping the Lord to worshiping pagan gods and they were weak as a people. Their faith was weak as a people because they kept straying so there's a reason the Lord keeps comparing them to a fig tree. 

Now you're probably wondering what does this have to do with the mark of the beast, well I’m going to tell you…oh, another interesting fact about the fig tree, the fruit generally ripens from August to October, which is the months of the Jewish High Holydays - another thing that I don't think that's a coincidence either.

They require full sun to ripen, and the size of the tree has to be reduced by pruning in order to cause it to bear more fruit. It's kind of like how the Lord calls us and we must grow into that call or assignment. So they need the sun to grow - full sun, not just partial sun, full sun and they reduce the size by basically pruning them so they require full sun all day. 

So, if Yeshua or Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life for us to mature - we need a close relationship and to be in the presence of the son Yeshua - the way the fig tree is always in 

the presence of the sun in order to properly grow - the fig tree has to be pruned constantly.

We go through a lot of pruning’s in our lives, why, so we grow more in the Lord, so we grow more in the call, so we produce the fruit. We need to produce - there's a reason why God's people keep getting compared to a fig tree - now what is the fig tree and the mark of the beast?

What do they have to do with each other because they have to do with each other? 

Basically, in a really strange way…Genesis Chapter 3 verses 4-14.

We're going to go all the way back to Genesis and we're going to jump to Revelation and the New Testament and come back Genesis 3 4-14 then the serpent said to the woman - you will not surely die for God knows that in the day you eat of it, your eyes will be opened and you will be like God knowing good and evil, so when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, that it was pleasant to the eyes and a tree desirable to make one wise, she took of its fruit and ate - she also gave to her husband with her and he ate, then the eyes of both of them were open and they knew that they were naked and sewed they fig leaves together and made themselves coverings and then what happens - the Lord's walking in the garden - they hid themselves and the Lord calls to Adam and says, “where are you”, so he said I heard your voice in the garden -  I was afraid because I was naked and hid myself and he said who told you that you were naked?

Have you eaten from the tree which I commanded that you should not eat - by the way there is a theory that this was some type of fig tree - then the man said, the woman who you gave me - she made me - she took of the tree and I ate and then the Lord said to the woman, what you have done and what did the woman say - it's the serpent who deceived me and I ate so the Lord God said to the serpent that they would be cursed more than cattle because of what they had done and they talk about enmity - putting enmity between you and the woman and between your seed and her seed - he shall bruise your head and you shall bruise his heel this is all in Genesis Chapter 3. 

Now what happens in Genesis follows the pattern of the antichrist - the serpent deceives man through his words - the serpent deceives man into taking something that the Lord warned them not to take - that put them in rebellion against God and at that moment they believe the serpent over God, so the serpent becomes their god now in Thessalonians Chapter 2 verses 9-12 - the coming of the lawless one is, according to the working of Satan, with all power,  signs and lying wonders and with all unrighteous deception among those who perish because they did not receive the love of the truth that they might be saved and for this reason, God will send them strong delusion that they should believe the lie, that they all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness. 

What does it say in second Thessalonians 2 verses 9-12, they believed the lie. What did Adam and Eve do - they believed the lie - the lie of who - the lie of the serpent So, Adam and Eve were told not to take and partake in that particular tree, which may have been a fig tree. Do you find it interesting Jesus talking about the fig tree cursing it the first time and then talking about its cycle of growth the second time in the Gospel of Mark to talk about the beginning of sorrows and the signs of the end times? 

So, the fig tree being in the middle of the fall of man from the beginning - man brought a curse upon themselves when they believed the lie and partook of something the Lord told them never to take, so the serpent told many lies to persuade Adam and Eve to do what he said, attempting to exalt himself above God - attempting to get man to turn against God - what does this have to do with the mark of the beast - Revelation Chapter 13 verses 5-6 and he was given a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies and he was given authority to continue for 42 months - then he opened his mouth and blasphemy against God to blaspheme his name - his tabernacle and those who dwell in heaven. Revelation 13 verses 16-18 he causes all both small and great,  rich and poor, free and slaves to receive a mark on their right hand or in their forehead and that no one may buy or sell except who have the mark or the name of the beast or the number of his name - here is wisdom - let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast for it is the number of a man - his number is 666 - before we cover the mark we have to understand the 666. 

I’m going to teach you something very interesting here about this - if you translate in Revelation 

13 about the mark or about the number of the beast - let the one with understanding reckon the meaning of the number of the beast for its number of a man his number is 666. 

The English word reckon comes from the Greek word for calculate or solve, so it's almost as if the text John wrote is telling us. 

I’m going to give you a riddle - I’m going to give you an equation you need to calculate and solve the number of the beast - you need to calculate and solve this equation so what does the number 666 mean - when you translate it out using the Greek alphabet, what does it mean? Well, given the hatred of the Roman Empire at the time and particularly its leader Nero Caesar, who is considered to be especially evil, many historians have been looking for references of this in the biblical text - now biblical text wasn't written in a vacuum - it's a product of its time - it was written by Jewish people within a Jewish construct - some of them even lived in Rome and we're dealing with the issue - all the issues that came from Rome, so when you look at the original text, you'll see this passage - the letters that or what John says is 666 is written in Hebrew - it's not written in Greek which places a higher significance on numbers meaning words and words meaning numbers than the ancient Greeks did, so John, the Revelation may have been written in Greek, but he wrote the number - he wrote 666 in Hebrew. 

Now, if you translate the Hebrew spelling of 666, you actually spell out niran n-e-r-o-n kazar k-e-s-a-r the Hebrew spelling of Nero Caesar, you see John was seeing so far into the future things he had never seen before, so what he was seeing, he had to somehow equate it to something of his time, in order to be effective in transcribing what he saw, so seeing this blasphemous antichrist in the future, the one with the abomination of desolation, if he had to let those know at that moment how evil this antichrist is, what kind of person would they look for - he equates him to Nero Caesar, who was a very very wicked individual who didn't think twice about engaging in horrific persecution, so John is saying look for a Nero Caesar - here's the character profile - here's the psychological profile -  look for a Nero Caesar type of person - this is what John was pointing to - now we're going to go back to the mark of the fig tree - now that we've talked about this 666 being written in Hebrew in the middle of a Greek book of Revelations, now that we know this information -  now we're going to go back and we're going to get into this Revelations chapter 13 verses 16-18 again - he causes all both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark of the name of the beast or the number of his name - what is the definition of a mark - an impression such as a scratch a scar or a stain made on something as a symbol used for identification or indication of ownership, so a mark is visible - you can see it with your eyes - it's not under the skin - it's on the skin - you can see it on the skin, so the mark John saw was either people's right arms or their foreheads - he saw both because he writes about both - if he only saw the right arm he would have only written about the right arm, but Revelation clearly states he saw it the forehead and the right arm - he saw it on both and I'm going to say this based on the text in Revelation, this inoculation or this shot is not the mark - nobody is taking a shot in their forehead and it is not leaving a visible mark for people to see - if it was under the skin, John would have said, they put something in the skin or under the skin - he's not saying that - he can see it - it's a mark - what the shot or the inoculation is, it's a warm-up - it's a precursor - it's a dress rehearsal -it's a cobblestone in the path leading to Revelation 13. It's a piece of the puzzle - it's not the whole puzzle, so this is a test run for these crazies who want to see if they could get people to do things like this - to go out - to go to grocery stores - to go on planes or to go wherever - this is a dress rehearsal - it is a test run because John could see it - he said it's a mark - now let's go back to mark - knowing a mark is a symbol, used to identify - we're going to go back to the mark now - knowing that what we know now - knowing what we know about Revelation 13 - knowing that's the symbol used for identification - a couple of weeks ago I asked the Lord about this - maybe it was even a few weeks ago and what I heard, was the same thing I said earlier to learn about the mark - you have to go to Mark, meaning the Book of Mark - the Gospel of Mark Chapters 11 and 13, Jesus references the end times in chapter 13 - he references the Book of Daniel in the abomination of desolation and the fig tree - altogether he's referencing the fig tree with the end times with the abomination of desolation and the Lord stopped me on the fig tree - Israel in many different areas of scripture are portrayed as a fig tree or God's people are portrayed as a fig tree - where are they portrayed - Hosea chapter 9 verse 10. I found Israel, like grapes in the wilderness, I saw your fathers as the first fruits on the fig tree in its first season, but they went to Baal - pure and separated themselves to that shame - they became an abomination like the thing they loved - what happens with the abomination of desolation - the image is set up in the temple and they become the thing they loved - the people who worship the beast become like the beast or the antichrist - the people that worship the antichrist become like him - it sounds like the parable for the antichrist and those being separated to him and away from the Lord - listen to Hosea 9:10 again - I saw your fathers as the first fruits on the fig tree, in its first season, but they went to Baal pure and separated themselves to that shame, they became an abomination like the thing they loved - they became an abomination - the fig tree is mentioned with the abomination of desolation in Mark chapter 13, which ties to Hosea 9 verse 10 - when it comes to Israel - now Jeremiah chapter 24 verses 4-8, and the word of the Lord came to me saying, thus says the Lord the God of Israel; like these good figs, so will I acknowledge those who are carried away captive from Judah, whom I have sent out of this place for their own good into the land of the Chaldeans, for I will set my eyes on them for good and I will bring them back to this land. I will build them and not pull them down and I will plant them and not pluck them up, then I will give them a heart to know me, that I am the Lord and they shall be my people and I will be their God, for they shall return to me with their whole heart, verse 8, and as the bad figs which cannot be eaten - they are so bad - surely thus says the Lord, so will I give up Zedekiah, the King of Judah, his princes, the residue of Jerusalem, who remain in this land and those who dwell in the land of Egypt, I will deliver them to trouble into all the kingdoms of the earth for their harm to be a reproach and a byword a taunt and a curse in all places where I shall drive them and I will send the sword the famine and the pestilence - sound familiar - among them till they are  consumed from the land that I gave them and their fathers again the theme of the bad figs, the one who strayed from the Lord, the ones in Egypt, worshipping false gods completely turning from the ways of the Lord, sword, famine and pestilence comes upon them - this sounds similar to Mark chapter 13 verse 8 - for nation will rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom and there will be earthquakes in various places and there will be famines and troubles - these are the beginning of sorrows, so the fig tree throughout scripture is associated with the people of God and then, whether they produce good fruit or bad fruit and the fig tree is in Mark chapter 11 

and 13, as well as earthquakes, famines, pestilence which ties into Jeremiah 24. 

Jesus associates the cycle of the fig tree which has 120 to 150-day cycle with certain events happening indicating signs of the beginning of sorrows in the end times - he equates this - why does he equate the fig tree - why does he keep mentioning the fig tree -so after this the Lord takes me back to Genesis - perceived to be the Lord – why - because the Old Testament is the New Testament hidden and the New Testament is the Old Testament revealed - they go together -he takes me all the way back to the beginning in the Garden of Eden, the Tree of the Knowledge of good and evil - now it hinted at this could have been some type of fig tree the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, however, the Bible does not specify exactly what type of fruit it is – Genesis, however, figs are very prevalent in that part of the world. Genesis chapter 3 verses 1-7, now that's where we go back to the serpent being more cunning, lying to Eve, the Lord said don't touch this - don't partake of this - she partakes of it -Adam partakes of it - they're in rebellion against God - they've believed the serpent they've partook of what the serpent told them to partake of - it causes a separation, but what happens from that, here is the question that was posed to me as I was praying and pondering this - What is the first symbol for the first thing man placed on themselves as an indication they had rebuilt - that they had partaken of what God didn't want them to - that they had believed the serpent - what was the first thing man put on themselves - a fig leaf - when they partook of what the serpent told them to do, and they fell - the first thing they did was sewed fig leaves together and covered themselves the fig leaf was now evidence that they had rebelled because they didn't know to cover themselves before, so God, seeing those fig leaves, was evidence that they had eaten of that tree and knew they were naked, so the similar mark spoken of in Revelation 13 is the covering of the beast - it's the serpent - the antichrist - it's the mark - those who have it can buy and sell - it's the symbol that indicates man is rebelled against God or from God and chosen to believe the serpent, the antichrist with all his lies and blasphemies and believes those lies as truth and partake of it and cover themselves with that symbol -  so if a fig leaf is the first thing man put on themselves when they rebuild - what if the mark is a universally recognized symbol from that part of the world that the antichrist comes from that is visible on the skin and what if that symbol has to do with a fig leaf, because the fig leaf was the first symbol man had on them, the first thing when they fell and they partook of what God told them not to partake - when they partook with of it, with the serpent - what if it's a symbol and don't you find it odd that the fig leaf is the first recognizable thing that man put on themselves when they fell - God knew because they covered themselves in fig leaves, they didn't know to cover themselves before he knew that was the indication they had partaken of what he told them not to partake - that was the symbol of them being fallen was the fig leaf - now it's just an idea - it's just something to think about  because it's going to be a symbol or the number or what talks about in the Book of Revelation because you have to be able to see it - you see John had to be able to see this mark - they didn't know enough about science and shots - he knew nothing about this – John, when he's watching this, so if there was no symbol - if there was no mark, he would have never said there was a mark. They took something he could see - there was something put on them he could see - Another argument for this, Jesus talked about many antichrists coming before ultimately the one that has to do with the abomination of desolation - what happened in Nazi Germany…what did they do to the Jews - they put a mark on them - they put a mark that was a number code that you could see, so if Jesus is saying many would come before and would try to do similar things, but wouldn't be as horrific, although they were horrific, as the antichrist with the abomination of desolation, they put a mark on the Jews that you could see - that numerical tattoo - and the Nazis also marked themselves and I believe they wore it on their right arm - both were visible marks - both were visible marks, so you even see throughout history when other antichrists have come you see the similarities of marks. You see the similarities of marks that were used marks that were taken in Genesis chapter 4 – now we're going to go a little further with this…Who was the first person to ever receive a mark in the bible? It wasn't Genesis, so the fig leaf was the first thing man put on themselves and, in a way, identified themselves with to show that they had fallen from God which was the fig leaf, but what was the first mark put on someone? 

It was Cain - Cain had the first mark in Genesis chapter 4 verses 10-15 and he said, what have you done the voice of your brother's blood - cries out to me from the ground, so now you are cursed from the earth, which has opened its mouth to receive your brother's blood from your hand - when you till the ground, it shall no longer yield its strength to you - a fugitive and a vagabond you shall be on the earth - meaning he's got no home -he's got no covering and Cain said to the Lord, my punishment is greater than I can bear, surely you have driven me out this day from the face of the ground - I shall be hidden from your face - I shall be a fugitive and a vagabond on the earth and it will happen that anyone who finds me will kill me why because he had no covering and the Lord said to him, therefore, whoever kills Cain, vengeance shall be taken on him sevenfold and the Lord said, set a mark on Cain - now Cain represents the wicked who have persecuted the righteous - who have martyred the righteous - who have put themselves in a way at enmity with God, but the Lord said a mark on Cain lest anyone finding him should kill him - he set a mark on Cain - set a mark so it was visible - it was a visible identifiable mark that was put on him, so Cain martyrs the righteous - his sentence is, he's a fugitive, he's got no covering, he's going to wander now without a covering, and a mark is put on him - a mark - the interesting part here is the mark is put on the one who turned their back on God who murdered the righteous - who martyred - who Abel became a martyr, so interestingly enough we see examples of where in the book of Genesis marks were put on people in one way or another. Adam and Eve - the fig leaf was the evidence they had fallen - Kane was marked when he fell and so I’m not saying that the mark is definitely a fig leaf or something of that sort, but what I’m trying to show you, is the mark is visible - when man believed the serpent and they partook of what God told them not to take - the fig leaf was visible and it was the evidence that man had believed the serpent and partake and partook with the serpent what the serpent wanted him to take, so we have to understand that a mark is visible - are there things that can be precursors to the mark - yes - dress rehearsals - testing out how many people would take something to buy and sell - how many people would take something to travel - how many people would take - sure they could do test runs - they can do test runs, but ultimately if John in the Book of Revelation is seeing it, it's visible and that's my point and John saw it with his own two eyes - he's watching in the Spirit and he's seeing this mark, so my point is, this is just scratching the surface of this. 

I’m just really literally scratching the surface here, so there's a lot more to this than we'll get into at a later date, but what I’m trying to say is we have to go back, and we have to look at scripture and we have to understand that when man fell and when things happened in the Bible, there was always something visible to show they had fallen or to show they had done it so, we have to understand in the same way, if the antichrist that came before,  there were visible marks that had to do with many of them and John could see it, we have to understand in the same way - John knew nothing about technology - that's why he talked about flying things that look like insects, because he really could have been seeing a fighter jet or a helicopter - you see what I mean - he had to equate it to something - he knew at that time he had to equate it to something that was indigenous to their time - at that time - and people get so worked up and every generation thought something crazy that happened that was the mark - every generation, but we have to understand we have to look at the scripture the way it's written and we have to understand, nobody is taking anything in their forehead right now - when it comes to an inoculation, none of them are going in the forehead and John clearly states this mark was taken in the forehead or the right arm which means he saw both - he saw people taking it in the forehead - he saw people taking it in the right arm, but it is a foreshadowing and a precursor and a test run - that is what it is, so we have to trust God's Word on this - that the way John was transcribing it - that's what we have to look for and a mark by definition is a symbol, so you're taking it in the hand, the forehead, you know the right side of their body, but I’m saying it’s got to be something that is visible, and it's got to be something that John could see with his own two eyes, so it's just scratching the surface here - we're just scratching the surface with this, but I’m telling you, the fall of man at the tree of the knowledge of good and evil and then putting that fig leaf on themselves, that was the indication they had fallen - it all goes back to them believing the the serpent in the garden - believing what the serpent said - doing what the serpent tells them to do above God - partaking of what God told them not to partake - it all goes back to that, because there have been cycles of that ever since that happened throughout history, and yes, you see dress rehearsals get a little more hot under the collar - you see dress rehearsals get a little more real - you see what's happening now - and he talks about the nations, the tribes, the tongues, so this is like prevalent - what he's seeing - this is not something that's just indigenous United States or to England or this is something that he saw that was pretty widespread and so I just think with this tonight, we're just scratching the surface of this and I’m serious about that - we are just scratching the surface of it - this isn't the whole - there's things that go way deeper, but tonight, at least, I wanted to scratch the surface with what happened in the garden - why Jesus keeps referencing the fig tree with the abomination of desolation and the beginning of sorrows and the end times - why he kept doing that because that's what men marked themselves with - when they fell, that's what they covered themselves with initially and I think sometimes we overlook that - we don't even think about why Jesus kept talking about the fig tree - the fig tree in the middle of all of these events are supposed to be about the end times - this is why it kind of all ties together and we are going to do a part two about this and we are going to go deeper - much deeper, but we have to do an introduction before we go deeper - this is the introduction tonight - you have to look at what the scripture says and so far I don't see anybody getting any sort of inoculation in their foreheads or in their right hand - so far I don't see that, so we have to really watch the scripture and not get caught up in rabbit trails, because John is pretty detailed in the scripture. There are things he saw that he couldn't explain, so he tried best to say oh I saw this - locust and it had these razor-sharp teeth and it had this, well a lot of these big fighter jets, that look like giant insects have these razor-sharp teeth painted on the nose of the jet - it could have been what he was seeing and a mark is a mark - it's something that's visible all the time - like a scar when you have a scar - scars stay - it's a mark - they don't go away - they may lighten over time but most scars stay - the outline of them stay you can see it - this is what we have to understand about this - the same thing, so the technology they're coming up with is crazy, yes, a lot of it is wicked yes, they shouldn't be mixing DNA and all sorts of things they're mixing and playing God and we'll get into that, as part, it's like a part two of the mark and of what the Bible really says about the mark, so that's where I think  I’m going to end for tonight and then we'll get into  part two - the killing of a third of mankind - a third of mankind has to die, now if there's two billion people on the planet - divide that by 0.33 33 - which is a third - we're going to get into that - what would be a third of the population - what did they end up dying from all and we're going to look at the scripture and we're going to go off of the scripture - we're going to go off the scripture and we're going to go from there, so Praise the Lord - that's where I think I’m going to end tonight because there is a deception going on with what's happening now -  there's a deception going on with the shot - there's a deception going on absolutely, but serpents go out to deceive, so there is a deception going on with it - there is, and we'll get more into that too, but like I said we can only scratch the surface tonight so we're gonna have to get into a part two and possibly a part three - Praise the Lord

On the 26th of June, now I don't like to say names often or anything like that, but I would keep your eyes on T.D. Jake's church right now. The Lord didn't tell me why, I would just watch. The Lord talked to me on 6.26, I perceive it to be the Lord, photons and a discovery, when it comes to photons - p-h-o-t-o-n-s. He also mentioned the head of the FDA, the food and drug administration, watch the FDA right now and the head of the FDA. He said to me in the middle of this, the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom and then he said there was going to be more volcanic activity in Hawaii, so to watch Hawaii, pray for those in Hawaii right now because there may be a very serious eruption that is on the horizon with Hawaii. He also said that a treatment for osteoarthritis is coming that reverses the brittleness and naturally hardens and fortifies the bone, so there is a new treatment that will emerge for osteoarthritis. Praise the Lord 

He says this to me as well, I am the Lord, your God who brought the Jews out of Egypt, who protected the line of David, in which Yeshua was born through and I speak to you this day, my beloved daughter, perfect love casts out all fear - fear is being evicted and courage of conviction shall take its place - be strong and courageous - do not be afraid, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go, so fear is being evicted and courage of conviction shall take its place - so more and more we're going to see this in the church, in those who are sobered and woken up in the middle of all of this - the eviction of fear meaning it's not going to work with the media, what other outlets do to try to instill fear, what the enemy does - an eviction notice has been issued by the Lord thy God and the courage of conviction shall firmly root and take its place. Praise the Lord 

The Lord said this too, which was interesting, a foreign car producer in this nation has been a cover for espionage, Honda - a connection. He also said that an incident was coming with an oil barge, to watch for that as well. Now I'm going to talk about this dream for a moment because there is a lot going on here. I also had a brief vision, there was a man - he looked to be dressed in army fatigues - he was sitting under a rainbow and then he got up and left it, so I would watch for something with the army and those that use the rainbow as their symbol - I would watch the military right now. Now, this dream that I had was on the 27th and I'll get to it because the dream we're gonna have to get into a little bit because it kind of goes along with the other things we're going to talk about.

On July 4th the Lord had me up during the night praying in the spirit and this is what I heard the Lord say the VA - the VA – experimenting on veterans purposefully injecting them at the VA to drive up suicide rate, depression, and rage and then he said false flags - I would watch the VA right now because they are doing some very dark sadistic things to these veterans coming in and they're putting things into them that they don't even realize are being put into them to continue to drive up these rates - they don't want them whole and they don't want them well, because if they're whole in they’re well then they gain more credibility and people believe what they say when they blow the whistle on what's been going on behind the scenes, so instead, similar in a way to what they did to Brittney Spears, they're purposely pumping them with things to make them look not all that clear, so they don't speak what they've seen – I would watch the VA right now - I would watch it very carefully because they're doing this and worse and it’s gonna come out in the open and the one that's been put over the VA is going to be smeared with a scarlet letter because of this - watch and see in Jesus’ name - just pray for them pray for these veterans right now pray for them - we actually are going to start looking into working with more veterans organizations and helping veterans come to know the Lord and help them get back on their feet, so we would love to work with some very credible veterans organizations to help them, our heroes - those who put their life in harm's way for our freedoms, so we are so looking forward to doing that at Ark of Grace Ministries more and more.

There was a dream and a vision, one of, it had to do with a caterpillar and there's something else as well – I want to talk about and this has to do with the dream as well, so let me pull it up in my notes here because I've been jotting things down - here it is now - let me talk about this dream that I had on the 27th of June - It really is showing what's happening right now, so this was the dream…I was standing at a bit of a distance and there was a bench - there was a woman on that bench actually two -the one to my left was thin - porcelain skin - long curly blonde hair, half up in half down way down the back - in a lilac-colored dress - bigger eyes - looked innocent - I knew this individual was wicked - there was a woman next to her that had a white shirt on in dark pants and she was trying to say initially that this woman was good - that this woman was okay, and I knew from the Lord, I just knew, this woman was wicked, very wicked, and all of a sudden this woman, in the lilac dress, begins to demonically manifest, and the enemy, it's like the enemy himself was speaking through her, and the second she did, I jumped up and I was going to rebuke and it did something with its dark power that affected my vocal cords, so now I can't speak and get the words out, but I could still whisper - all of a sudden, I'm in a hallway and this creature is in the bathroom on the toilet - not going to the bathroom - just sitting on the toilet - it's laughing because it thinks it got me - it thinks I can't rebuke it - and it can continue doing whatever it's doing and I walked right up to it and got nose to nose and I said in a whisper - the Lord rebuke

you and I woke up.

 

Now, I don't like to snap my fingers for good reason, but it was that quick as quick, like a snap, I woke up and came out of it and so I documented the dream. Now this dream has to do with something that's going on right now in the body of Christ and generally, in the country right now. This also has to do and we'll tie it to Balaam and we'll tie it to death and life being in the power of the tongue, which is what Barbara was talking to me about today, so you've got someone that looks innocent, that looks good, that fooled the person next to them, but I knew they were not - that's discernment - that is why you have to pray for the 

discernment of God every day, for the Lord to sharpen that ability – yes, sometimes you have to speak to people to discern - sometimes it takes a little bit of the time to discern their actions, but it is desperately needed and what's happening in the body of Christ, is there are people right now that look innocent - that are saying things - that are convincing people of one thing, but this individual's mouth was black - now this person doesn't just have to represent women - it's representing those trying to steal the true voice of the prophetic by speaking things that are black, that are wrong, that are demonic, but fooling the people and they're trying to steal the voice of the true prophetic while they're doing that, so this individual's mouth, when they opened it, it was black, it was uttering dark destructive things - death - it was trying to affect my vocal cords so I couldn't speak with authority and I couldn't rebuke, and it thought it had me, but I realized I could whisper and I realized that whispering it was just as powerful as me yelling – it’s the same it's the same words - the Lord rebuke you - and there is a spirit right now amongst individuals that are parading in the body of Christ that are even parading in the political arena and that look innocent - that looks good - that look like they're pure and what's in their soul is darkness and filth and blackness and they're gonna open their mouths now - they're gonna open - I'm just gonna say this by the power of the blood of Jesus Christ - by the spirit of the one true living God - may only the truth come forth - Father for your glory in Jesus’ mighty name Amen and Amen. The Lord is going to cause - by his power - those that look innocent to open their mouths now and the filth and the darkness and what's really in their souls is going to come out and is going to be exposed - the Lord is making a very sharp dividing line here, in this hour, because there is infiltration in the body of Christ that is attempted to steal the true voice of the prophetic, because I'm going to tell you something about the prophetic, it is not roses and rainbows - it is not always telling you everything you want to hear - it is not always prophesying good and lovely and decent things - a big part of the prophetic is warning of events to come - it is to edify to exalt - to edify and exhort - I think it is - edify and exhort – yes, but it's also to warn and so we're at a point here where the true voice of the prophetic, that is speaking weighty anointed words of truth is attempting to be snatched and stolen by infiltrators within the body of Christ by publications that are run by lost corrupted people and they're attempting it in this hour and they're attempting it sometimes by telling the people what they want to hear - by looking good and decent and oh this person's great and they open their mouth and the blackness and filth of what has been festering in their soul of their true motives and intentions, in this hour, God is going to expose in the body 

of Christ, the true motives and intentions of those who claim to be walking with him, because your actions have to do it too - you have to walk the walk - you know when what happened to my husband happened, I had to walk the walk now - everything I've been preaching from the Word, speaking from the Word, I had to walk out and you're gonna see the true walks of those that have infiltrated the body of Christ and those that are speaking things right now that are tainted, that are confusing the people and the people are going why hasn't this happened, why hasn't this happened yet, because we're on God's timetable, not man and this will be God's choice, not man's and so there is some tickling of the ears going on and there are some that have become compromised that you're going to begin to see the revelation of who they are come forth out of their mouths and it's going to sober those up who thought they were good decent – speaking from the Lord - the Lord, in this hour, is going to sanitize - there is a second round of sanitization coming and I'm hearing that word in my spirit and the last time I heard it was right before c19 or whatever the heck it is hit - there is going to be a second round of sanitizing that comes forth from this because God wants his body the Church sanitized - he wants it purged - He wants it dealt with and in this hour we are going to see that happen and we're going to see some shocking people come forth and we're going to see what's in their soul we're going to see what their true motives were and I'm going to tell you something in this hour, Balaams are going to be exposed - what do I mean by that – Balaam, and I'm going to get for you the exact, hold on, the exact scripture for this or the exact chapter because I want to make sure you can write this down and you can go read this for yourself - Numbers Chapter 22 is where we are introduced 

to Balaam, so I'm going to read from Numbers Chapter 22 - I want you to listen to this - the Israelites journeyed and camped in the plains of Moab on the east side of the Jordan river across from Jericho and Balik the King of Moab, the son of Zippor, saw all that Israel had done to the Amorites - because remember Israel was going on a bender - going after all the eyes the Amorites, the Hittites, the Jebusites, the Canaanites, everybody in that land that the lord promised to them, so Moab was terrified and that's the word that was used because of the people, for they were numerous, Moab was overcome with fear because of the sons of Israel. Moab said to the elders of Midian now this horde will lick up all that is around us, just as the ox licks up the grass of the field and Balak the son of Zippor was the king of Moab at that time, so he sent messengers to Balaam, a famous prophet-diviner, the son of Beor at Pethor which is by the Euphrates river in the land of the descendants of his people, to call for him saying there is a people, who have come out of Egypt, behold they cover the surface of the land and they are living opposite me, now please come curse these people for me, for they are too powerful for me, perhaps I will be able to defeat them and drive them out of the land for I know your reputation that he whom you bless is blessed and he whom you curse is cursed, so the elders of Moab and of Midian departed with fees - with fees - for divination for telling in hand and they came to Balaam and told them the words of Balak. Balaam said to them spend the night here and I will bring word back to you as the Lord may speak to me, so the leaders of Moab stayed with Balaam that night - he's entertaining this - you see what I mean - God came to Balaam and said who are these men with you - Balaam said to God – Balak, the son of Zippor, king of Moab has sent word to me - hear this - the people who came out of Egypt cover the surface of the land, come now curse them for me, perhaps I may be able to fight against them and drive them out - God said to Balaam - do not go with them - you shall not curse the people of Israel - for they are blessed - Balaam got up in the morning and said to the leaders of Balak - go back to your own land of Moab, for the Lord has refused to let me go with you - the leaders of Moab arose and went to Balak and said Balaam refused to come with us - then Balak again sent leaders more numerous and men who were more distinguished than the first ones -they came to Balaam and said to him, thus says Balak, the son of Zippor, I beg you, let nothing hinder you from coming to me for I will give you a very great honor and I will do whatever you tell me, so please come curse these people of Israel for me - Balaam answered the servants of Balak - even if Balak were to give me his house full of silver and gold, I could not do anything either small or great contrary to the command of the Lord my God, now please you also stay here tonight and I will find out what else the Lord will say to me - God came to Balaam at night and said if the men have come to call you get up and go with them, but you shall still do only what I tell you, so Balaam got up in the morning and saddled his donkey and went with the leaders of Moab and what happens next is the angel is standing in the road and Balaam's donkey sees it and Balaam can't see it, but God's anger, verse 22, was kindled because Balaam was going and the angel of the Lord took his stand in the way as an adversary against him, now he was riding on his donkey and his two servants were with him when the donkey saw the angel of the Lord standing in the way and his sword drawn in his hand, the donkey turned off the path and went into the field, but Balaam struck the donkey to turn her back toward the path, but the angel of the Lord stood in a narrow path of the vineyard with a stone wall on this side and a stone wall on that side - when the donkey saw the angel of the Lord, she pressed herself against the wall and crushed Balaam's foot against it and he struck her again - the angel of the Lord went further and stood in a narrow place where there was no room to turn either to the right or to the left - when the donkey saw the angel of the Lord, she laid down under Balaam, so Balaam was angry and he struck the donkey a third time with his staff - what's interesting about this is the rooster crowed three times when Peter denied Jesus - because he was blinded in that moment - he was deceiving himself and he wasn't seeing the truth and in this moment Balaam is blind - he is deceiving himself and he's not seeing the truth and he strikes this donkey three times who is – Verse 28 - and the Lord opened the mouth of the donkey and she said to Balaam, what have I done to you that you have struck me these three times - then Balaam said to the donkey, because you have made a mockery of me - if there had been a sword in my hand I would have killed you by now - the donkey said to Balaam, am I not your donkey on which you have ridden all your life until this day -  have I ever been accustomed to do so to you and he said no - then the Lord opened Balaam's eyes and he saw the angel of the Lord standing in the way with his drawn sword in his hand and he bowed his head and laid himself face down - the angel of the Lord said to him, why have you struck your donkey these three times - behold I have come out to stand against you because your behavior was obstinate and contrary to me - the donkey saw me and turned away from me these three times - if she had not turned away from me – I would have certainly killed you now and let her live - Balaam said to the angel of the Lord, I have sinned for I did not know that you were standing in the way against me but now - if my going displeases you I will turn back - the angel of the Lord said to Balaam, go with the men, but you shall speak only what I tell you - so Balaam went alone with the leaders of Balak and basically what happens is Balaam ends up blessing Israel and he could do nothing but bless them because of the Lord - praise the Lord now why do I read this - why do I read this - I read this because Balaam was, shall we say, a profit for hire, I'm going to pay you lots of money to either curse somebody else or get your services and tell me what I want to hear - Balaam is a compromised prophet also known as a diviner - he's compromised because he can be bought - he should have never had the men of Moab stay in the first place for they were pagan - they were out of covenant with God and he had them stay because he was entertaining their offer and the Lord came to him and said what are these men doing with you - send them away - he did but when they came back, he let them stay again and said oh let's see what the Lord says because in his heart he had already decided he wanted to take the money and do this and the Lord comes to him again and now the Lord's upset and He tells him to go but Balaam should have not gone and that's why the Lord's anger was kindled against Balaam for even going with men that wanted to curse his people - for even going anywhere with them in any direction where God's people would have been cursed and this donkey had more wisdom and more reverence for the Lord than Balaam did and Balaam was beating this donkey three times because he was so blind at this point because in his heart he had already given himself over to do such services he couldn't even see that the Lord had sent an angel of the Lord to strike him - he was that blind at this moment because it was about money - there's a difference between somebody just blessing you and you telling somebody they have to pay you to tell you what the Lord is saying - there's an enormous difference - bless Jesus all the time - he never said to them you have to pay me to heal you - you have to pay me for the sermon on the mount - you have to pay me for the five loaves and two fish - you have to pay me for admission - so Balaam is for hire - he's given himself over to this - in his heart, the Lord knows it - he is going with people that want to harm Israel - he's saying oh I can only say what Lord wants me to say, but I'll go with you - he shouldn’t have even gone with them - they were unclean - they were idol worshipers - they were at enmity with God - but he determines to do this and the donkey has more sense than he does and the donkey can see what he can't and he's beating the donkey because he thinks he knows best - he's so blind at this point, going on the wrong path where an angel of the Lord has been sent to oppose him that the Lord has to open his eyes to see who was in front of him, ready to strike him, you see, he's striking the donkey and in turn, the angel of the Lord was ready to strike him, why, because he had determined in his heart to be a prophet for hire - a prophet for, you see - the king of Moab would have never sent for Balaam if he thought Balaam was completely walking with the Lord - obviously Balaam had a reputation as a prophet diviner for hire – you pay me and I'll tell you what you need to hear - you pay admission and I'll tell you what you need to hear, this is what's going to happen now - the balance and their heart condition are going to be exposed in this hour, death and life are in the power of the tongue - once Balaam entertained these men, he entertained… well I'll tell you what the Lord says - he already knew what the Lord was going to say - the Lord was not going to tell him, oh sure go with these men, curse Israel, it's fine - the Lord wasn't going to do that - he knew it -he was compromised - he was a prophet for hire and they knew it and they knew he could be bought and they knew he manipulated using money meaning they knew he had a price - you pay me and I'll tell you what you want to hear - don't pay them - you give all your money to me - you give it all to me and I'm not talking about me, I'm saying this is what Balaam - this was his reputation - this is why the Lord took control of his mouth to save Israel because Balaam's heart was compromised, he could be bought - there was a price and he entertained pagan men and I don't mean like how Jesus ate with sinners and prostitutes and in order to love them and to speak into their life and to witness to them and be an example for them - that's not what I'm saying - this was different with Balaam - this was - he entertained these people because they could give him wealth and standing and relationships - he entertained a pagan people at enmity with God that blasphemed God that worshipped pagan gods that wanted to curse Israel and harm them and Balaam entertained them - totally different between Balaam and Jesus - he wasn't doing it to be a witness - he was doing it because he was entertaining their offer and the Balaams, in this hour, are going to be exposed, the Balaams and their heart conditions and the defects within them and that they've got this really internal drive for importance and standing and that they should be paid high prices for their services - there's a spirit of importance involved in this and Barbara spoke to me about that the spirit of importance - look we're nothing without the Lord - nothing - when the Lord takes us and puts us into position he wants us to bring him glory - none of that is possible without God I always say don't look at the man - look at God - draw closer to God - get right with God - we are all just vessels he operates through, because Jesus always pointed back to the Father and we should always be pointing back to the Father - Balaam wasn't pointing back to the Father - Balaam was making pagan people out of covenant with God feel like and rationalize that it was okay to curse them, and in this hour, the Balaams are getting exposed, the spirit of importance is getting dealt with, and the heart conditions of the Balaams and their true motives for the positions and prestige and price tags they wanted are going to be exposed - if God ever takes you and puts you on a platform or a stage or a position, it is for His glory - you serve Him and you have to remember that order - we are far beneath him - we are nothing without him - his son Jesus gave his life so we could be reconciled back to him - we were created to align with what is written in the books of Heaven about us and come into the Will of God in an agreement with that will, so things can fire on all cylinders and the power of God can be operated in for His glory – yes, God blesses obedience - obedience is better than sacrifice – yes, God blesses his children -  yes, God enjoys blessing His children, but you get put through a lot of paces to be blessed and you have to be a good steward with what he's blessed you with - there's nothing wrong with the Lord blessing somebody - there is something wrong with somebody putting a price tag on their services for the Lord - if people choose to bless of their own volition with the Lord and they choose to bless outside of - you know - that's different - Paul talks about in the New Testament that a man is worth his wage and we have to keep that in perspective but Balaam is a different animal - Balaam is a different animal and the Balaams in this hour are going to be blatantly exposed and the Balaam's who are entertaining things and want to say things that are going to hurt the people of God are going to be exposed because right now, in this hour, we should be focusing on the Lord, not on a man - do not make a man a demigod - do not make Donald Trump a demigod he is not the answer to everybody's problems - he is a man that can be operated through by God for such a time - his sons are men that could be operated through by God for such a time King Cyrus and King Darius were mere men that were operated through as kings by God for such a time - Generals are being operated through by God for such a time - businessmen - people in the prophetic - people in ministry people - in the corporate world are being operated through by God for such a time, however, the answer to this country's problems is Almighty God -surrendering before him - repenting before him in all humility knowing we cannot do this without him and trusting that the person he wants in office at the right time in the right hour will emerge and will be placed there because the Lord has way more exposing to do and the Lord wants people looking at him right now that he can bring this country back - it's not when is Trump coming back - it should be Almighty God move, so the person you have chosen can come back can be placed in that position can come in and clear out DC - can come in and be used as a tool by you to purge - that's how we have to look at it because God will contend with no man Herod's sin wasn't that the people said this is the voice of a God and not a man - Herod's sin was that he didn't correct it - we are mere men - sinful men - vessels that are operated through by Almighty God to bring Him glory - He has all the power - He knows all things -He's the Alpha and Omega and we are nothing without him and so some of these leaders have to come out and correct what is going on right now - they have to correct it because the Lord wants to use them but they have to correct a demi-god atmosphere and they have to correct and give God all the glory - the Lord is bringing a lot of correction in this hour in this way - a lot of correction and I'm going to end by reading to you in the book of Ezra Ezra does one of the most incredible intercessory prayers - the Jews had come back from captivity - they were consecrating themselves back to God as a nation - they were returning to God as a nation and so it was a time of great change for them and I'm going to read to you from the book of Ezra Chapter 9 Verses 5 through 15 and this is what it says…At the time of the sacrifice, I stood up from where I had sat in the morning with my clothes torn - I fell to my knees and lifted my hands to the Lord my God I prayed oh my God I am utterly ashamed I blush to lift up my face to you - for our sins are piled higher than our heads and our guilt has reached to the heavens - from the days of our ancestors until now we have been steeped in sin, that is why we and our kings and our priests have been at the mercy of pagan kings of the land - we have been killed, captured, robbed, and disgraced just as we are today Verse 8 but now we have been given a brief moment of grace for the Lord our God has allowed a few of us to survive as a remnant - He has given us security in this Holy place - our God has brightened our eyes and granted us some relief from our slavery - for we were slaves, but in his unfailing love our God did not abandon us in our slavery, instead he caused the Kings of Persia to treat us favorably - He revived us so we could rebuild the temple of our God and repair its rooms - He has given us a protective wall in Judah and Jerusalem Verse 10 and now, oh our God what can we say after all of this - for once again we have abandoned your commands - your servants the prophets warned us when they said the land you are entering to possess is totally defiled by the detestable practices of the people living there from one end to the other the land is filled with corruption from one end to the other - don't let your daughters marry their sons - don't take their daughters as wives for your sons don't ever promote the peace and prosperity of those nations If you follow these instructions you will be strong and will enjoy the good things the land produces and you will leave this prosperity to your children forever Verse 13 now we are being punished because of our wickedness and our great guilt but we have actually been punished far less than we deserve - for you our God have allowed some of us to survive as a remnant but even so we are again breaking your commands and intermarrying with people who do these detestable things - won't your anger be enough to destroy us so that even this little remnant no longer survives - oh Lord God of Israel you are just, we come before you in our guilt as nothing but an escaped remnant though in such a condition none of us can stand in your presence - that is the prayer of Ezra - when the Jewish people return from captivity and begin to rebuild and begin to consecrate themselves back to the Lord - after the land was defiled - after the lamb was defiled and filled with corruption by pagan wicked people and the lord operated through King Cyrus and King Darius because remember Daniel, Nehemiah, and Ezra - all were alive at the same time - King Darius had his come to Jesus moment, will we say, with the lion's den and he feared God after that - he was the one that had the work start up again because it was stopped for quite a period of time by troublemakers trying to stop the temple from being rebuilt because they knew the power of God would operate in that land and as the body of Christ we cannot allow the corrupt and the wicked to slow down and stop what the Lord wants to rebuild in this land and what the Lord wants to do with his people and how the Lord wants to bring this nation back to him and how the Lord wants the lost to find him and how the Lord wants to appoint the one he has chosen to lead this land because there's a counterfeit right now in office - however, the Lord works all things together for good for those who love God and are called according to his purpose and this is one of the greatest times of exposure that has ever happened in this nation and will continue to happen and we'll go down deeper - deeper than ever has in this nation will the exposure go - so that is kind of the attitude we should have now what - Ezra had -they're humbly coming back to the Lord knowing the nation screwed up - knowing they strayed from the Lord - knowing that we didn't serve Him humbly coming back asking him for his help - consecrating themselves to him - this is what should be going on as a nation right now and you've got some for their own popularity - for their own platform trying to put everybody's eyes on a man - God puts people's eyes on Him first and then men and we must have our eyes on the Lord in this - not on a man - God operates through men all the time, but he will not contend with one and he will not have the people set one up as Herod was set up - God will not have that, so the Lord is working on those men - as this course goes forth in this nation and the Lord, at the same time, is exposing those that are in a way leading the people and veering them a bit astray when it comes to what's coming back when, because the lord has a timetable in this - this is going to be the way the lord wants it - how he wants it - who he wants it and when he wants it and the nation has to be in a certain condition spiritually looking to him for that to happen and so this is why this is a call to the nation for repentance and to come back to the Lord and heal - this is a call to the nation right now to do so - so the Lord thy God then can open that door and bring forth and put in order the leadership he has chosen for such a time, in the way he has chosen it, in the order he has chosen it, with the positions he has chosen - praise the Lord and we give God all the glory for that all the glory praise you, Father God, thank you Lord, thank you Jesus.

We just praise the Lord

I feel the presence of the Lord 

thank you, Father God 

I feel the presence of the Lord right now 

and we're just going to pray and we're going to wait

We give you all the glory - fill us - praise you, Father God 

Thank you, Lord

by the power of the blood of Jesus Christ 

By the spirit of the one true living God 

May only the truth come forth in Jesus mighty name 

Thank you, Lord.
