Fallen Angels And End Times

Our missionary pastor, Pastor David made a trip to Russia and shared with me how God revealed to him that the archangel of God was holding back two fallen angels, or evil spirits under the snow and ice of some parts of Russia. They will be released for a short time. This should set alarm bells for us. We want to establish these truths with the Bible and prepare ourselves for these events and to understand the plan of God through all these things. These fallen angels have been bound under ice and snow since the time of Enoch before the Flood. Up to now, the world has never seen what evil they can do. It is a great concern for us because whatever we know of evil and destruction in mankind from ancient civilization to modern civilization, we have not seen the work of evil of these two fallen angels yet. That means the reign of terror will be more horrible than we realize. Our understanding of the end times is that it will be very bad, but with the release of these two fallen angels, it will be beyond what evil and badness they will inflict on the planet. We need to raise the alarm for the body of Christ and tell Christians that the end times are not going to be as hard as we think or imagine. It is going to be wickedness and evil that caused the earth to be destroyed by the Flood. We have never seen the magnitude of their evil and destruction on the earth yet. The names of those two fallen angels are given as Sorcery and Seduction. That means that in those two areas, we even haven’t seen what they could do. All the evil that we have witnessed in the history of mankind cannot measure up and be compared to the evil that would be unleashed through those two fallen angels. Thus we need to awaken ourselves to the message the Lord has given. Firstly we want to establish the fact from scriptures that fallen angels can be restrained by God. Apparently they are in various groupings. In 2 Peter the angels before the Flood that have cohabited with women have been chained in darkness. 2Pe 2:4 For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment;

Page 2: TS0009.1 End Time Revelation Series Fallen Angels …spiritword.net/docs/TS0009.1.pdfpetertan.net TS0009.1 End Time Revelation Series Fallen Angels And End Times Our missionary pastor,

2Pe 2:5 And spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth person, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly; 2Pe 2:6 And turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrha into ashes condemned them with an overthrow, making them an ensample unto those that after should live ungodly; 2Pe 2:7 And delivered just Lot, vexed with the filthy conversation of the wicked: God will still bring the required judgment on the wicked. According to the book of Enoch, there is a group of fallen angels, about two hundred of them came down. We know that there could be more than two hundred fallen angels that joined with Satan in the uprising against God as one third of the angels rebelled against God. But a group of two hundred fallen angels came to earth and crossed the boundaries and cohabited with human beings and produced the Nephilim, giants in the land. In the Book of Enoch, the Watchers (Aramaic. ִעיִרין, iyrin), are angels dispatched to Earth to watch over the humans. They soon begin to lust for human women, and at the prodding of their leader Samyaza, they defect en masse to illicitly instruct and procreate among humanity. The offspring of these unions are the Nephilim, savage giants who pillage the earth and endanger humanity. Samyaza and associates further taught their human charges arts and technologies such as weaponry, cosmetics, mirrors, sorcery, and other techniques that would otherwise be discovered gradually over time by humans, not foisted upon them all at once. Eventually God allows a Great Flood to rid the earth of the Nephilim, but first sends Uriel to warn Noah so as not to eradicate the human race. While Genesis says that the Nephilim remained "on the earth" even after the Great Flood, Jude says that the Watchers themselves are bound "in the valleys of the Earth" until Judgment Day. (See Genesis 6:4 and Jude 1:6, respectively) [wikipedia] These fallen angels have been locked up and are also mentioned in the book of Jude. Jud 1:6 And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day. For these fallen angels, they are already in everlasting chains and their judgment is already pronounced. They will never be released as they would repeat their nefarious acts all over again and produce half breeds with human beings again. God is not permitting that anymore. That group of fallen angels is forever locked up. But there is another group of fallen angels from the time of Enoch and Noah that is currently locked up and will be released to the earth temporarily. Under Apollyon there is a whole group of demons that are very destructive. All they

want to do is kill and destroy. This group has been shut up in the bottomless pit but will be released during the tribulation. Rev 9:11 And they had a king over them, which is the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in the Hebrew tongue is Abaddon, but in the Greek tongue hath his name Apollyon. Most people would think that Satan is the most powerful of fallen angels and that is why he is the head of the fallen angels. But it is not in terms of power that Satan rule over the demonic realm. For example, you don’t have to be the strongest man to be able to rule over a country. You just have to be the most politically astute man or woman. The other areas of responsibility would be delegated to other suitably qualified people. That is why Satan is head of the rebellion. But those fallen angels that can really cause destruction have been locked up. In terms of destructive power, these demons under Apollyon and Apollyon himself are more destructive than Satan. Satan by his smartness and cunningness became head over all of them. Rev 9:14 Saying to the sixth angel which had the trumpet, Loose the four angels which are bound in the great river Euphrates. Rev 9:15 And the four angels were loosed, which were prepared for an hour, and a day, and a month, and a year, for to slay the third part of men. Rev 9:16 And the number of the army of the horsemen were two hundred thousand thousand: and I heard the number of them. That is 200 million. Even today there is no army that big. You can imagine the destruction that will take place in the tribulation. The tribulation is not going to be an easy time to pass through if one third of the sea, one third of the sun, one third of the forest, one third of mankind would be destroyed. The tribulation will be beyond anything we have seen in church history when the righteous have been persecuted and killed. If these destructive demons are released from the bottomless pit now, they are going into such a rampage of killing and destruction that a lot of people are going to die and God’s plans would be thwarted. Because of that, God kept them until the tribulation. This destructive group of fallen angels will be released for a very short time. There is another group here that is not mentioned in the Bible and is restrained under ice and snow by the archangels now. Is there such a thing as restraining? Yes, let us look at the book of 2 Thessalonians 2Th 2:6 And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time. 2Th 2:7 For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way.

Page 4: TS0009.1 End Time Revelation Series Fallen Angels …spiritword.net/docs/TS0009.1.pdfpetertan.net TS0009.1 End Time Revelation Series Fallen Angels And End Times Our missionary pastor,

If the fallen angels are not restrained, the world would be in an even worst shape than before. Apparently these two fallen angels, Sorcery and Seduction, will be released for a short time and that is before the tribulation in our church age. We have not seen what destruction, sorcery and seduction they can unleash when they are released. The good news is that God will allow the enemy to come in like a flood as prophesied in Isaiah 59, and this is the prophecy for revival too. Isa 59:19 So shall they fear the name of the LORD from the west, and his glory from the rising of the sun. When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the LORD shall lift up a standard against him. There was a time when Christianity spread to the whole world from the west and they have done their part. They have sent out so many missionaries and exalted the name of God and done many good works in Christ’s name and we are grateful for them. From the rising of the sun, that is, the east, comes a different aspect of Christianity. I believe this is a prophecy of the coming glory of God that will come from the east. Now that God is working, we have the responsibility to bring about the glory of God. Because the enemy is coming in like a flood, the Spirit of the Lord will lift up a standard against him. For this reason of raising up this standard, God has permitted Shamah and the three generals angels to work with Pastor David. Throughout the panorama that God has released, Shamah and the three general angels are in the centre of gravity of what God is doing on the planet earth. God is doing something by releasing Shamah and the three angels to work with Pastor David, so that we work together with all that God is doing for the end times. God is raising a standard. There will be a great wave of signs and wonders that will come about. We are going to work closely with archangels and spirit beings to challenge the enemy forces. And we are in the training process at the moment. That is why it is important for us to understand the times where we are today. When we look at the overall picture, firstly we must set our hearts at peace. We must understand why God allows them for a short time. We wonder why God release these fallen angels, Sorcery and Seduction for a short while and why God will release Apollyon and his forces from the bottomless pit during the tribulation and why God would release Satan for a while at the end of the thousand years as we see in the book of Revelation. Rev 20:3 And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season.

Page 5: TS0009.1 End Time Revelation Series Fallen Angels …spiritword.net/docs/TS0009.1.pdfpetertan.net TS0009.1 End Time Revelation Series Fallen Angels And End Times Our missionary pastor,

We wonder why at the end of such a peaceful reign of God that God would release Satan for a while. The first reason is that God cannot judge unless iniquity has come to certain fullness. U need to understand that God is a righteous God, a God of principles. He must act according to laws that He has created. In Genesis 15, God showed a lot of evil that was done in the land of Canaan but He says that all these lands will be yours. Gen 15:13 And he said unto Abram, Know of a surety that thy seed shall be a stranger in a land that is not theirs, and shall serve them; and they shall afflict them four hundred years; Gen 15:14 And also that nation, whom they shall serve, will I judge: and afterward shall they come out with great substance. Gen 15:15 And thou shalt go to thy fathers in peace; thou shalt be buried in a good old age. Gen 15:16 But in the fourth generation they shall come hither again: for the iniquity of the Amorites is not yet full. The iniquity of the Amorites was not yet full during the time of Abraham, so they could not be judged and they could not be exterminated from the land. Four hundred years later, their iniquity would be full, and that gives God the right to command the Israelites to go in and possess the land. We know that the children of Israel returned to that land four hundred years later and slaughtered the people there. What God is saying is that it is not time to slaughter them. God brings judgment on the earth in different ways, either using angels, or using one group against another. When the Israelites were in rebellion, God used the Chaldeans against them. When God wanted to judge the Chaldeans, He used another nation to come up against them. God permits these things and uses peoples and nations to execute His judgment. Paul himself says to be law abiding citizens because the authorities carry the sword. Rom 13:1 Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God. Rom 13:2 Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation. Rom 13:3 For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise of the same: Rom 13:4 For he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil. God economizes energy. He doesn’t waste energy. He allows evil to run its full course before judgment comes. There is a law that says that judgment cannot

Page 6: TS0009.1 End Time Revelation Series Fallen Angels …spiritword.net/docs/TS0009.1.pdfpetertan.net TS0009.1 End Time Revelation Series Fallen Angels And End Times Our missionary pastor,

come until iniquity is full. Sodom and Gomorrah have been evil for a long time but it came to a point where God says, “Thus far and no further.” And fire and brimstone fell from Heaven and destroyed the cities and the surrounding land. That is what I call the fullness of iniquity. For God to judge the whole planet, how full must be full? Now the measure of the fullness of iniquity by God’s standard is different from the measure of fullness of iniquity by man’s standard. The evil during World War II was already so great but if you have spiritual eyes opened during that time, you would see God helping the Allied forces against their enemies. There were many miracles of deliverances through angels and they were helping one side to win over the other. Even today, Israel is winning wars because angels are helping them and not just because of their military prowess and intelligence. So God do help out in wars to a certain extent by sending His angels to make sure that the tide flows in a certain way. But for God to intervene, there must be a certain level of iniquity that it is just for Him to intervene. So for this first reason, the release of these fallen angels is to expedite the evil. It will not cause evil. Evil will be evil, good will be good. It will expedite the process of filling up the full measure of evil. God could wait a long time for the process but He allows the process to be speeded up. We all know the second rule that takes place. Whenever an evil person rises, all who are evil are joined to that person. That evil person could be hidden all the time but let’s say an evil person rises suddenly, all those with evil inclinations will be drawn to him as well. For example, if Communism is banned in a country, we wouldn’t know how many secret Communists and sympathizers are there in their hidden closets. Let us say that suddenly Communism is declared legal in the country, we would see those with their kind of leanings would show up and support that movement. Sadhu Sundar Singh mentioned in one of his books that on the surface many people look good. But when a rumor comes to town, then you will see the true colors of people and tell who are really good and who are really bad. Those who are bad would delight in the tastefulness of that rumor and would like to spread it because in their own hearts, they have a taste for evil. But those who are really good hearted, they hear of that rumor and they would stop it at that. They pray and intercede for those things and they stop at there, they don’t have the heart to spread the rumor further. This reveals the nature of a person’s heart. How you react to evil reveals your heart. If you spread it on further, you are partially evil. If you hold it and stop it there, you are actually very good, you don’t like evil to spread. Such things reveal the nature of our own hearts. Evil doesn’t create evil, it just lures it out of hiding and causes it to be exposed. Sadhu Sundar Singh spoke of goodness and evil and people chooses their own paths. The second rule that takes place is when an evil person surfaces in society, those who are evil and waiting for a leader and a cause will gather to him and become

bold in their evil. They would then do things that they would not have normally done. Take for example the French Revolution. When they stormed the Bastille, they were doing so for a good reason as the people were severely oppressed. The rich were getting richer and the poor were getting poorer and the barons were lording over the peasants. The peasants rebelled and managed to put the royalty and nobility to death and a new group of people arose to take over the country. It took a turn when the leaders of the revolution began to turn on others in the revolution and began to send them to the guillotines. Even the original leaders and masterminds were accused of being subversive to the revolution and sent to the guillotines. We find the situation where this group of people that took part in the revolution suddenly entrusted with great power over the lives of others. We would think that all the peasants and middle class that revolted against the upper class and injustices must be good in their hearts. But when they seized power, the evil in their hearts surfaced and were given free rein to rule. So the French Revolution had to spin and evolve a few times before they were stabilized. The very designers and architects of the revolution were themselves sent to the guillotines. It is a strange phenomenon because of their own internal fear of others. So whatever evil there was, was already in their hearts waiting to be manifested. If you give them weapons and power, they would use it for evil. In a sense, it takes a killer to kill another killer. Having killed, now they have blood on their hands. It needed a few rounds of revolutions before they could stabilize and a semblance of sanity and goodness could arise. There were bad people among the upper class, there were bad people among the lower class too. Their evil is shown and manifested when they are given power and opportunities to do so. Sadly, our world is not based on righteousness but on shrewdness and manipulative abilities but in doing so, the world has forgotten one thing: God and angels. As was revealed to Pastor David, God and His angels would ensure that your righteousness will eventually win in this game of life. Some ask whether this is true. Remember Mordecai and Haman and Queen Esther in the Bible? Mordecai was a good guy but Haman was always plotting and conspiring to put Mordecai and the Jews done and promote himself in the eyes of the king. Haman even built a guillotine to kill Mordecai one day. In the end, Haman was put to death on that killing machine that he himself built. The honest, sincere, righteous person always wins. Saul tried to kill David all the time. When David fell in love with Saul’s daughter, Saul was reluctant to give his daughter? He purposely made the task difficult to win his daughter. David had to kill so many Philistines and cut off their foreskins. Saul was hoping that David would die in that battle to get so many foreskins. But David succeeded in getting the number of foreskins and he got to marry Saul’s daughter.

Page 8: TS0009.1 End Time Revelation Series Fallen Angels …spiritword.net/docs/TS0009.1.pdfpetertan.net TS0009.1 End Time Revelation Series Fallen Angels And End Times Our missionary pastor,

1Sa 18:20 And Michal Saul's daughter loved David: and they told Saul, and the thing pleased him. 1Sa 18:21 And Saul said, I will give him her, that she may be a snare to him, and that the hand of the Philistines may be against him. Wherefore Saul said to David, Thou shalt this day be my son in law in the one of the twain. 1Sa 18:22 And Saul commanded his servants, saying, Commune with David secretly, and say, Behold, the king hath delight in thee, and all his servants love thee: now therefore be the king's son in law. 1Sa 18:23 And Saul's servants spake those words in the ears of David. And David said, Seemeth it to you a light thing to be a king's son in law, seeing that I am a poor man, and lightly esteemed? 1Sa 18:24 And the servants of Saul told him, saying, On this manner spake David. 1Sa 18:25 And Saul said, Thus shall ye say to David, The king desireth not any dowry, but an hundred foreskins of the Philistines, to be avenged of the king's enemies. But Saul thought to make David fall by the hand of the Philistines. 1Sa 18:26 And when his servants told David these words, it pleased David well to be the king's son in law: and the days were not expired. 1Sa 18:27 Wherefore David arose and went, he and his men, and slew of the Philistines two hundred men; and David brought their foreskins, and they gave them in full tale to the king, that he might be the king's son in law. And Saul gave him Michal his daughter to wife. We see that despite all the plotting of Saul, he still lost as God is on the good side. We see here the second rule of thumb, when evil arises, evil people will gravitate to it. Light attracts light, birds of the same feather flock together. This separates the righteous from the unrighteous. God permits this process of sifting and separation. There is a third aspect for God allowing evil. Evil is allowed to be manifested for God’s people to be tested, tried and overcome in their walk with God. Even in the end times when the Antichrist rises in Daniel 7, evil cannot be allowed to arise and have power without God’s permission. Dan 7:24 And the ten horns out of this kingdom are ten kings that shall arise: and another shall rise after them; and he shall be diverse from the first, and he shall subdue three kings. Dan 7:25 And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time. God allows His people to temporarily – time, times and the dividing of time refers to 3 and a half years or 1260 days according to Revelation – to be under the rule of the Antichrist. We ask why should God allow that? This is part of God’s confidence that we would survive through. When Satan challenged God that Job

merely served Him because of the blessings he got from God, God told Satan to go ahead and touch him but imposed certain boundaries that Satan cannot cross. Job 1:6 Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them. Job 1:7 And the LORD said unto Satan, Whence comest thou? Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it. Job 1:8 And the LORD said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and escheweth evil? Job 1:9 Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, Doth Job fear God for nought? Job 1:10 Hast not thou made an hedge about him, and about his house, and about all that he hath on every side? thou hast blessed the work of his hands, and his substance is increased in the land. Job 1:11 But put forth thine hand now, and touch all that he hath, and he will curse thee to thy face. Job 1:12 And the LORD said unto Satan, Behold, all that he hath is in thy power; only upon himself put not forth thine hand. So Satan went forth from the presence of the LORD. Job had no vision of what was happening. He had no clue why those afflictions suddenly came upon him. All he knew was to do the right thing in his life. He was the richest man at that time. Suddenly his children, livestock, farm and everything else were killed and destroyed, leaving him only his wife. Job 1:13 And there was a day when his sons and his daughters were eating and drinking wine in their eldest brother's house: Job 1:14 And there came a messenger unto Job, and said, The oxen were plowing, and the asses feeding beside them: Job 1:15 And the Sabeans fell upon them, and took them away; yea, they have slain the servants with the edge of the sword; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee. Job 1:16 While he was yet speaking, there came also another, and said, The fire of God is fallen from heaven, and hath burned up the sheep, and the servants, and consumed them; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee. Job 1:17 While he was yet speaking, there came also another, and said, The Chaldeans made out three bands, and fell upon the camels, and have carried them away, yea, and slain the servants with the edge of the sword; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee. Job 1:18 While he was yet speaking, there came also another, and said, Thy sons and thy daughters were eating and drinking wine in their eldest brother's house: Job 1:19 And, behold, there came a great wind from the wilderness, and smote the four corners of the house, and it fell upon the young men, and they are dead; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee.

Job 1:20 Then Job arose, and rent his mantle, and shaved his head, and fell down upon the ground, and worshipped, Job 1:21 And said, Naked came I out of my mother's womb, and naked shall I return thither: the LORD gave, and the LORD hath taken away; blessed be the name of the LORD. Job 1:22 In all this Job sinned not, nor charged God foolishly. God was still very confident of Job and challenged Satan again. Job 2:1 Again there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them to present himself before the LORD. Job 2:2 And the LORD said unto Satan, From whence comest thou? And Satan answered the LORD, and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it. Job 2:3 And the LORD said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and escheweth evil? and still he holdeth fast his integrity, although thou movedst me against him, to destroy him without cause. Job 2:4 And Satan answered the LORD, and said, Skin for skin, yea, all that a man hath will he give for his life. Job 2:5 But put forth thine hand now, and touch his bone and his flesh, and he will curse thee to thy face. Job 2:6 And the LORD said unto Satan, Behold, he is in thine hand; but save his life. Job 2:7 So went Satan forth from the presence of the LORD, and smote Job with sore boils from the sole of his foot unto his crown. His wife cannot stand him anymore. Why? Job got no place for her to kiss him anymore. I am sure Job had horrible boils all over that you could not cover up with cosmetics. His wife told him to curse God and die. Job 2:8 And he took him a potsherd to scrape himself withal; and he sat down among the ashes. Job 2:9 Then said his wife unto him, Dost thou still retain thine integrity? curse God, and die. Job 2:10 But he said unto her, Thou speakest as one of the foolish women speaketh. What? shall we receive good at the hand of God, and shall we not receive evil? In all this did not Job sin with his lips. He has no support from anyone, not from his wife anyway. The only support he got was from God. Job cursed himself and his friends that came to visit him didn’t have nice things to say to him too. Job was really cornered from all sides. But in the end, Job didn’t curse God. Job did question God but in the end in Job 38-40 it sounds like God is telling Job off, “Who are you to question Me?” It sounded like that but God was showing that His thoughts are higher than Job’s thoughts. Job was living on one level and God was living on another level and Job

couldn’t understand God’s ways and thoughts. The good thing is that in the New Testament we understand. We have seen the panorama of the Bible and examined tests, trials and tribulations and we have decoded one thing that God wants: to prove us. This is seen in Deuteronomy where God says He has sent the Israelites into the wilderness to prove what is in their hearts. Deu 8:2 And thou shalt remember all the way which the LORD thy God led thee these forty years in the wilderness, to humble thee, and to prove thee, to know what was in thine heart, whether thou wouldest keep his commandments, or no. The main purpose of tests, trials and temptations is to see whether you love God and to see whether you still love other people. What is the meaning of Jesus on the cross? It is the culmination and sum total of all the evil, wicked and bad things that people do to Him. The only time Jesus rebuked and judged the Pharisees was not what they did to Him, but what they did to innocent people. He pronounced judgment on the Pharisees but on the cross He prayed, “Father, forgive them for they know not what they do.” Do you know how difficult it is to forgive those who hurt you? Very tough as we are all self righteous beings. Eye for eye, tooth for tooth. It is harder to love than to kill. Love involves self sacrifice and killing yourself while killing others is just a matter of getting rid of them. Jesus rose up to the level of being able to love. Was Jesus tested too? Yes, there was no escape. The moment Jesus was anointed, He was sent to the desert to be tested for forty days and forty nights. Why was He tested? His love also has to be tested. Did He love God? Yes, but He still need to be tested. We complain and murmur when we are tested in small, insignificant areas of life. Jesus was tested by the master seducer himself, who is most skillful in creating temptations, for forty days and nights. I am sure the devil didn’t take time off to sleep at night. Constantly tested but Jesus didn’t budge an inch. At the end of the day, He loved God and He loved people. God allows evil to come and for you to taste what evil is like. When evil comes, there are two possible reactions. You either join them or reject evil. When persecution comes, you either submit to their tortures or you join them and torture the others too. You cannot fight evil with evil, as that will transform you into an evil being too. You have to maintain purity and holiness to overcome evil. We just do not want to overcome evil alone but to overcome evil without evil being a part of us, changing our own nature. To only way is to be like Jesus, to look to God to protect you. Evil will come to its own end, it won't survive long. Evil is like gunpowder that will burn itself at some point. Rule no 3, God allows evil to manifest as that is the only way for us to be tested. Then we ask the question, why should we be tested? The reason is because God wants a different breed of people. People who have been tested are different breed from those who have not been tested. If God decides to create another

group of angels, do you know that the new group of angels would be different from the current angels? The present group of angels has been tested when Satan rebelled. They had the chance to join Satan and they refused. They chose God and they are angels who would never be tempted again to fall. How confident are you that these angels would never fall in future? It depends on the intensity of the choices given to them. If the choices covered all grounds and they have been tested thoroughly, and if they chose to be with God rather than to follow Lucifer, then you know they would never fall in future. You can go to Heaven and request to see the videos of those heavenly temptations, intrigue, conspiracies and battles and you will get an idea of how those angels were tested in their loyalty to God. Now with this new batch of angels just created and not yet tested, it is possible for them to break under stress. We are a group of human beings that God is raising up for the universe. If we have not been tested, we would be given mediocre jobs in Heaven. It is not a joking matter as God needs to trust us fully with independence to function. We would have somebody always watching over us. But once you have been tested, God knows your heart. How would you know that you would not give bribes or accept bribes unless you have been in that situation? It is easier said than done. When you have a business and you have a lucrative business proposal that involves the giving and receiving of bribes, and your business needs a shot in the arm to prevent it from collapsing, what would you do? See whether you choose to collapse your business and choose God, or you choose to yield to that temptation and follow evil. Some would brush off the pricking of their conscience and say, “God understands.” But when you chose to close your business rather than do the unrighteous thing, the angels around you would clap their hands. You loved righteousness more than your own business. The angels would come with camels bearing gifts of gold and silver to help you. If you choose unrighteousness and rather pay the bribe and save your business, the angels would dust their hands off and tell you, “You are on your own now. We won't help you.” Then you go through life on your own without supernatural help, and you live with regret. The choices people make is to die or to love righteousness, to collapse or to love righteousness. You want to win the favor of God in Heaven, you covenant with God for your life. Live or die, I will love Jesus with all my heart. Live or die, you don’t compromise the principles of God. If you are faced with a situation, it is better to die honorably than to live the next 120 years dishonorably. That is how much we should value righteousness and godliness. Can you imagine that when you have gone through severe trials successfully, how much the angels respect you and how much God will have confidence in you? This is the planet that you and I can be tested. The harder the test, the stronger the diamond. Diamonds come out of high pressure. Both diamond and graphite are made entirely out of carbon. The differing properties of carbon and diamond arise from their distinct crystal structures. Diamonds are produced under high pressure. There are no

Page 13: TS0009.1 End Time Revelation Series Fallen Angels …spiritword.net/docs/TS0009.1.pdfpetertan.net TS0009.1 End Time Revelation Series Fallen Angels And End Times Our missionary pastor,

other way to produce diamonds. God want to produce diamonds. That is why God has to allow the pressure. We see here the wisdom of God in keeping the fallen angels around for a little while longer. If God permanently shut and lock up the fallen angels and evil spirits, the human beings would grow up without being tested by these fallen angels and evil spirits. We might not fall in the first 7 days, we might not fall in the first 7 months, we might not fall in the first 7 years, we might not fall in the first 70 years, we might not fall in the first 70,000 years but down the road we might fall in a million years. The reason is that we were not tested. We see the wisdom of God. Now that there was a rebellion among the angels, so in creating the new human race, He let those fallen angels be the source of tests, trials and temptations for these human beings. The worst ones among these fallen angels are immediately cast off and locked up. The medium worst ones are kept in the bottomless pit, like those four fallen angels and at the worst moment of human history they would be released. Then the less worst ones would be kept and be released during the end times. When we see the bigger picture of the purposes of these fallen angels, then we understand God’s plans and purposes as God’s plan is bigger than ours. We whine and complain about the severity of these testings, but we are seeing them from the earth’s point of view. We didn’t see them from eternity’s point of view, that God wants the kind of people coming out of the earth, the diamonds that He wants to come out of the earth. He doesn’t want them to come out of the survival of the fittest where the fittest suppress and oppress the others to climb to the top. He wants us to come out tested and tried like diamonds. Diamonds that He could use in other parts of His creation and in the future of His work. God’s plan is for eternity and not for this planet earth. When you understand God’s purposes, you understand the end time activities that will take place shortly. The Bible says when sin abounds, grace abounds even more. Rom 5:20 Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound: When the enemy comes in like a flood, God will raise a standard against the enemy. Isa 59:19 So shall they fear the name of the LORD from the west, and his glory from the rising of the sun. When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the LORD shall lift up a standard against him. And this is where we come in as the standard that God will use against the enemy. According to 2 Thessalonians, the church is part of the restraining force. We thought that only the angels were such restraining force but the church is also part of it.

Kenneth E. Hagin met the Lord Jesus in a vision and He told him, “I hold you and all the Christians for all that is happening in the United States. Whatever you permit will be allowed.” Then the Lord Jesus Christ began to show him that when He gave authority to the church, the church has the authority to loose and to bind. Our lack of prayer and our lack of faith have allowed the enemy to run wild. We have not rise up to the place. We know we have been given the authority to bind and loose in Heaven and on earth. Mat 16:19 And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. Mat 18:18 Verily I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. The church has been ignorant of this authority for a long time. During the dark ages when the Bible was not permitted to be read by the church, there were widespread plagues and sicknesses all over the planet earth. When printing was invented and the Bible could be mass produced, there was also a release of new scientific discoveries and inventions. In 2 Thessalonians there is a puzzle for you to solve. 2Th 2:3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; 2Th 2:4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God. 2Th 2:5 Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things? 2Th 2:6 And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time. 2Th 2:7 For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way. 2Th 2:8 And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming: In verse 7 above, the word “letteth” is the word also translated as “restraineth”. The question is, who is he that restrains? This scripture has been debated many times among end times theologians and I am familiar with all the positions taken with regard to this verse. The first possibility as some suggested is the Holy Spirit. That “he that restraineth” refers to the Holy Spirit. If it is the Holy Spirit, then He doesn’t need us, He does it by Himself.

Page 15: TS0009.1 End Time Revelation Series Fallen Angels …spiritword.net/docs/TS0009.1.pdfpetertan.net TS0009.1 End Time Revelation Series Fallen Angels And End Times Our missionary pastor,

If the Holy Spirit is taken out and the evil one is allowed to come in, then no one can be born again during that time. So it is unlikely that it refers to the Holy Spirit as there will still be people coming to the Lord during the time the evil one is given free rein. The “he that restraineth” cannot also refer to Jesus Christ as He will be coming back. So we are left with one strong possibility and it is the Church. “He that restraineth” refers to the Church on the earth. Some may argue, saying it is a “he” and the Church is a “she” as she is the Bride of Christ. Ok, we are going into semantics here. If Jesus is the head and we are the body, are we male or female? How can the head be male and the body be female? These are semantics that should not come into theology. It should be viewed in terms of allegory and not in terms of gender. In general, the Church is a he because it is the body of Christ. Paul says that we should grow up to the full stature of a man in Christ. Eph 4:13 Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ: So let’s not miss the point by arguing on the gender of the Church. The Church can be classified as a “he” or a “she”. Whoever restrains is the Church and when 2 Thessalonians says that he that restrains is taken out means that is when the Church age ends. The Church is empowered to restrain. Who is the Church? The Church consists of the Old Testament and the New Testament. The Old Testament is considered the firstfruits of the Church. All are supposed to be under one covenant under the blood of the Lamb. The Old Testament are types and shadows of the fulfillment in the New Testament. The book of Hebrews put us together as one. The Old Testament cannot be fulfilled without the New Testament. The Israelites that went through the Red Sea was a type of baptism of the Church, and they are the called out people of God. So in generally the called out people of God that has the restraining force, the restraining power. Let me illustrate Jeremiah 1. Jeremiah’s role was to prophesy. The spiritual world depended on Jeremiah’s prophecies to bind and to loose. God says in Jer 1:9 Then the LORD put forth his hand, and touched my mouth. And the LORD said unto me, Behold, I have put my words in thy mouth. Jer 1:10 See, I have this day set thee over the nations and over the kingdoms, to root out, and to pull down, and to destroy, and to throw down, to build, and to plant.

Page 16: TS0009.1 End Time Revelation Series Fallen Angels …spiritword.net/docs/TS0009.1.pdfpetertan.net TS0009.1 End Time Revelation Series Fallen Angels And End Times Our missionary pastor,

Now tell me, when did Jeremiah ever have an army to do all those things? Never. He was the weeping prophet, most of the time he was crying. How did Jeremiah bring down a nation? In the book of Jeremiah, he sometimes prophesied that a nation will end. He prophesied judgment on the Chaldeans that destroyed the Israelites. The moment he prophesied something, the angels said that it is done in the spirit and they will mark it as being done. His word alone destroyed an entire nation. It might be done immediately but in the spiritual world, the angels are released to do that. Jeremiah was working with the angels when he prophesied and drew the demarcation points. Sometimes he prophesied life, “to plant, to grow” but other times, death, “to uproot, to pull down”. All these he does through the word of prophecy. How powerful are human words? The words are so powerful that we will be judged on every word that we speak. Mat 12:36 But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment. God will show a video of your words, and say, “Because you said this word, look what happened to you. Because you said that, look what happened to your family. Because you said such and such a thing, look what happened to your wife.” You reply, “I didn’t know this word can cause this, that word can cause that.” “Now you understand?” “Yes.” “You are guilty.” “But I didn’t know anything.” “But you said it.” If you are close to me, you will notice that I never speak one negative word about my children. Especially when you have authority over them. The moment parents say one negative word about their children, the devil jumps on it and exclaims, “My loophole.” You avoid negative words as much as possible, even when you refer to people. Your words have power. The higher your spiritual position is, the more power you release. Sometimes people do it ignorantly. When Jacob came out of Laban’s house with his two wives and children, Laban chased after him. He asked him, “Who stole my gods?” it was Rachel who stole his idols. She pretended she was having her periods and she was sitting on top of them hidden in a box. Jacob said the one who stole those idols die. Rachel died after giving birth to Benjamin. Gen 31:32 With whomsoever thou findest thy gods, let him not live: before our brethren discern thou what is thine with me, and take it to thee. For Jacob knew not that Rachel had stolen them. Gen 31:33 And Laban went into Jacob's tent, and into Leah's tent, and into the two maidservants' tents; but he found them not. Then went he out of Leah's tent, and entered into Rachel's tent. Gen 31:34 Now Rachel had taken the images, and put them in the camel's furniture, and sat upon them. And Laban searched all the tent, but found them not.

Page 17: TS0009.1 End Time Revelation Series Fallen Angels …spiritword.net/docs/TS0009.1.pdfpetertan.net TS0009.1 End Time Revelation Series Fallen Angels And End Times Our missionary pastor,

In the spiritual world, words are powerful. How do we move mountains? Jesus said that you can move mountains with your words Mat 17:20 And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you. Mat 21:21 Jesus answered and said unto them, Verily I say unto you, If ye have faith, and doubt not, ye shall not only do this which is done to the fig tree, but also if ye shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; it shall be done. Not all words contain energy. But sometimes words spoken at the right time and right place, there is a whole confluence of energy. So when Jacob said those words saying the one who stole those idols shall not live, he must have said it with all his energy. Something was released. We are immune to all negative words, by the way. Show me by Bible chapter and verse. How many negative things did people say about Jesus? Even today many people speak negative words about God but He is not affected by them. But there is an understanding that words are powerful, especially words given to a prophet to speak. Somehow by the grace of God, the angel Shamah finally found the right person in Ps David to work with in these end times activities. Sometimes there arises a good prayer warrior here and a good praying Church there but the angels were looking for someone who could work 100% with them and cross the boundaries. So they were observing Ps David for a long time from a distance. One time Shamah pretended to go near him; he was probably after you but he walked past him. His instant reaction was that it must have been some evil spirit passing by. Thank you for your apologies to Shamah. Shamah worked with Ps David over the seven churches and Ps David began to realize and understand the work of Shamah more and more. Recently Ps David and I worked with Shamah in drawing the boundaries of this planet earth. When we worked together with the angels, we may laugh but at times we heave greatly to catch our breath. Although we have respect for Shamah and he for us too knowing our places in God, we have that healthy respect and the fear of God in our lives and the reason why God sent Ps David to Russia is to draw the boundary lines like Jeremiah to bind. That is why the Church is given prophecies and the authority to bind and loose those prophecies. Mat 16:19 And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. Mat 18:18 Verily I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.

Page 18: TS0009.1 End Time Revelation Series Fallen Angels …spiritword.net/docs/TS0009.1.pdfpetertan.net TS0009.1 End Time Revelation Series Fallen Angels And End Times Our missionary pastor,

Mat 18:19 Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven. And having received the anointing of God, we have a work in the end times. I know that if God were to say to some Christians right now, “You can have whatever you say”, some may be flippant and careless with their words and confess negative words and death giving words. You will get what you just said. God knows how much negative words can come out of our mouth, so He never give such persons the authority. They will inflict damage with the authority given to them in their words. Accidentally some may kill themselves if they happen to say, “Die.” So they cannot be given such level of authority. There is a place I visited in Heaven that was very exclusive and I was only allowed to peer into it. In that place, every thought that comes becomes creative. And we are not just talking about words yet. In that place, when a thought comes in, that’s it, it is created immediately. Can you imagine if you cannot control your thoughts? You would turn Heaven into Hell because you would be creating monsters. That is why God do not allow just anyone to enter that place. Now you know where God’s level is? One thought from God and He could create a universe. One thought from God and He could wipe out the whole universe. Do you know that? God only has to say, “I wish you didn’t exist.” Poof! You disappear. So you understand the amount of authority that we have been given. I now begin to understand the end times. The end times is not just what the devil does that God allowed. The end times is when the Church is also given the authority to put down the enemy. When the enemy comes in like a flood, God raises up a standard against him. And the places where God sent Ps David is to draw the line and pronounce judgment. Also when he went to the Middle East, he also drew the boundary lines and those lines were the revived Roman Empire which are the ten horns. The revived Roman Empire will rise out of the old Roman Empire. It will be ten multi nations representing the ten toes. The Antichrist will conquer three and exercise its power. We are part of the Church as prophets and the Church as a whole has authority. Although God has His predestined plans, within His predestined plan, we have some level of authority of binding and loosing. I show you the harmony between God’s plan and our plan in the ultimate Second Coming of the Lord Jesus Christ in the Gospel of Matthew. Mat 24:15 When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:) Matthew 24:15 speaks about the abomination of desolation. Nobody can prevent the abomination of desolation from happening; it is permitted by God. This is

Page 19: TS0009.1 End Time Revelation Series Fallen Angels …spiritword.net/docs/TS0009.1.pdfpetertan.net TS0009.1 End Time Revelation Series Fallen Angels And End Times Our missionary pastor,

permitted due to the authority given to the people. But the bigger plan is given in verse 16-20. Mat 24:16 Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains: Mat 24:17 Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house: Mat 24:18 Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes. Mat 24:19 And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days! Mat 24:20 But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the Sabbath day: Now verse 20 is strange isn’t it? How come you can pray about these things? What’s the point of praying if you cannot change anything? Why in the middle of the horrible things that are happening in God’s predestined plan of tribulation that you can pray that your flight be not in winter or on the Sabbath? Mat 24:21 For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. By the way, the tribulations for the end times for the Church have never been seen even from the times of Enoch. You could imagine what we are going to face. So while we deliver the bad news that the tribulation is going to be so horrible and terrible, the good news is that God gives a certain level of power also to redeem us. He tells us that even in the tribulation when the Antichrist himself will be the abomination of desolation, He says that you can pray for your convenience, that your flight be not in winter or on the Sabbath day? So what can God do about that? God can do several things. He can mitigate the severity of the winter cold or to allow escape routes for the Christians because of their prayers. So while all the terrible things are happening during the tribulation there is the power and authority to pray. How much authority we have today? 2 Thessalonians 2 that if you look at it in the context of the Church, we have a certain level of authority and power. If we interpret that “he who restrains” is the Church and that is a prophecy of the end times, you know what is restraining – present tense – it is the church. 2Th 2:6 And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time. 2Th 2:7 For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way. 1 John tells us how the spirit of Antichrist is already manifested and it is a battle against Christ and His Church.

Page 20: TS0009.1 End Time Revelation Series Fallen Angels …spiritword.net/docs/TS0009.1.pdfpetertan.net TS0009.1 End Time Revelation Series Fallen Angels And End Times Our missionary pastor,

1Jn 4:3 And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world. 1Jn 4:4 Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world. Jesus said that you are the salt of the earth. We are preserving the earth from evil and decay. Let us be the salt of the earth that God called us to. In these end times when you know your authority in God, and the enemy and darkness and typhoon comes in like a flood, you exercise your authority and raise a standard against that evil and it will not come to you and your house. Why do bad things happen to good people? They do not understand all the forces. Sometimes God wants you to move out of the way. You are not supposed to be there. When you are there, you are collateral damage and are killed alongside with the rest of them. But sometimes God gives the liberty to preserve the place you are in from danger since you prayed. It is the leading of the Holy Spirit. After we have done the first phase of drawing all the boundary lines of the major areas that the angel Shamah wants, we begin to plant by prophecy. Sometimes we have to pronounce judgment for things that need to be torn down so that God could raise up a new force. We have drawn the lines. And this revival is not exactly what we expect. We never expected to work with the archangels and the angels. We thought if we prayed hard enough and long enough, the revival fires would come down. We didn’t realize that there are so many complex things to do. We had to listen to the Holy Spirit to draw the boundary lines. And nations would take their place in the Lord. And I know God has reserved Australia and New Zealand for its own destiny. Australia is named South Land of the Holy Spirit 200 years ago when it was founded. They will preserve things that God reveal and wants to do in the end times with a people that He has made a covenant with hundreds of years ago. Singapore has its own special destiny too when the glory of God begins to arrive. When we see the end times more, the news we would be getting would be horror news. We would also have good news. The good news is that we have unexercised authority and power that we have not exercised before. The question was asked, will God destroy the righteous with the wicked? The answer is no. Even though lot was not totally righteous, the angels went to rescue him and his family. When the world is swarmed with evil and witchcraft during the end time tribulation, we wonder whether we should allow our kids to go to school, surf the internet, go to the playground. Are they protected? Of course they would be immune because they would be covered you. As long as they are under your covering, they can confront evil successfully. You can extend the authority and boundary over them but we have to watch and pray with fasting to exercise authority. But the point I want to bring across is that during the end time tribulation, we will be given a lot of power. Why should God release the anointing from Pergamos until now? It is something that we need to meditate on. With that anointing from Pergamos, wherever we pronounced revival, revival would come. But we still have to be led

Page 21: TS0009.1 End Time Revelation Series Fallen Angels …spiritword.net/docs/TS0009.1.pdfpetertan.net TS0009.1 End Time Revelation Series Fallen Angels And End Times Our missionary pastor,

by the Lord. In some places we have to pronounce judgment so that things can be toned down. We have found the ruling spirits in this place and other places when we went to mark and set their boundaries. I can assure you the day you start exercising your authority during the end time tribulation, things start happening in the natural. It is the spiritual that affects the natural. The unseen affects the dimension of the seen. I want to give you an eye view of something possible. One of the things I assumed was that when the Rapture comes, it comes and rapture ready Christians would be caught up in the air with Jesus Christ based on 1 Corinthians 15. But theology must be based on more than one scripture. If you take one scripture and give it a correct interpretation, the overall interpretation may turn out to be wrong if compared and cross referenced with other scriptures. 1Co 15:51 Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, 1Co 15:52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. In other words, those who are still around during the trumpet sound will never see death. In Philippians 3, Php 3:10 That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death; Php 3:11 If by any means I might attain unto the resurrection of the dead. In verse 11, Paul is saying that he hope that he would be among those who would resurrect from the dead. He says, “might attain”, which implies that there is a possibility that he might not attain unto the resurrection of the dead. What did Paul mean by verse 11? I thought every born again Christian would automatically rise from the dead? If you examine it further and compare with Matthew 25 about the ten virgins, we know in the end five virgins got in. Of the ten virgins, five were considered foolish, five were wise. Now who were the foolish five virgins? The five foolish virgins didn’t manage to get in what? They didn’t manage to get into the Marriage Supper of the Lamb. The door was shut in verse 10. Who were they? You either interpret those foolish virgins as unbelievers. Or you interpret them as believers. If you interpret them as unbelievers, why are they waiting for the bridegroom for? Unbelievers have nothing to do with the bridegroom at all. Interpreting these five foolish virgins bring about a whole set of illogical conclusions. How come they got oil in their lamps too in the beginning? That means they have the Holy Spirit also. On the other hand, if you interpret these five foolish virgins as Christians, then we ask what did they miss out on?

Page 22: TS0009.1 End Time Revelation Series Fallen Angels …spiritword.net/docs/TS0009.1.pdfpetertan.net TS0009.1 End Time Revelation Series Fallen Angels And End Times Our missionary pastor,

The other set of problem is, did they miss out on salvation? I give you both interpretation and leave it to you to make your own decision. End time theology is like that. A lot of end time speculation is open ended. Until now theologians are debating whether it is pre, mid or post tribulation. I normally present all three views and then I tell you that I am biased towards pre tribulation. And I tell you why each one interpret it that way. Whether it is pre, mid or post tribulation, it is due to theologians taking the view of either one coming of Christ or two-parts coming of Christ. If you see Jesus’ coming as coming in the air and then landing on Mount Olives, then it is a two-part coming and this would be explained by the pre and mid tribulation theory. But if you see Jesus as one big bang coming, then you would place it as the post tribulation theory. Does Rapture has anything to do with salvation or not? The book of Revelation says that those who go through the tribulation are still being saved, coming out of that tribulation wearing white robes. They are still being saved and the Gospel is still being preached. If you removed the notion of salvation from the Rapture, then you realize that the Rapture is a gift of God to those who walk with God. Then you go back to Paul’s statement in Php 3:11 If by any means I might attain unto the resurrection of the dead. Paul didn’t know when is the coming of Christ. The Rapture is special, you don’t see death at all. All humans see death but those who are caught in the Rapture will not taste death at all. It is possible that you could walk with God and get translated. That is a special privilege not promised to everyone. When the Rapture comes, those who are walking with God would straightaway get caught away. But even if the Rapture is far ahead, those who walk closely with God might never see death. After all we have seen two men in the Old Testament, why not we see another one in the New Testament? Enoch and Elijah never see death. Although they will come again as the two witnesses in the end time tribulation, and be killed, but the Bible says they will just go off. Paul says that he might attain the resurrection of the dead points to the fact that it is possible to be saved by the skin of your teeth, 1 Corinthians 3. 1Co 3:11 For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ. 1Co 3:12 Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble; 1Co 3:13 Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is. 1Co 3:14 If any man's work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward. 1Co 3:15 If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire.

But such a one who narrowly escapes has no reward. Now the Marriage Supper of the Lamb apparently is the reward. Jesus spoke of the parable where the king sent his servants to the highways and byways and got everyone in. Among those who got in, there was one man who was not properly attired. He was also thrown out. That parable gives you some clue that you must be properly attired. What is the attire? You must put on Christ. The five wise virgins are those who continue their walk with God in endurance and patience in difficult and hard times. I would say that those who are caught up with God in the pre tribulation Rapture are those who walked with God righteously. Then those are born again with a ticket to Heaven suddenly find themselves left behind during the Rapture and have to find their salvation through the tribulation. They got the ticket to Heaven but they do not have the ticket to Rapture. They missed the Rapture because they didn’t walk with God to a certain level. So they go through the tribulation. Even Paul imply in Philippians 3:11 that it is not easy to attain to this resurrection of the dead and obtain the ticket to Rapture. To obtain this ticket to Rapture, you have to walk a certain level. He says that “I may attain.” So he pressed on and on. He was given a different crown, a martyr’s crown. It is a special crown that not many people have as not many people are willing to have their heads chopped off. But there are different rewards that are attained. God is raising up an elect who would walk with Him and will go forth with Him just as in the times of the Jews there are 144000, 12000 from each tribe. They did not marry, they are single and they dedicate themselves to God. They are special, they have their mid tribulation Rapture, they have their Rapture in the middle of the tribulation. There will probably be more than 144000 Jews saved but why are these 144000 Jews special? They give themselves more to God than others. They must have walked with Enoch and Elijah. Now there were many Jews saved also, some through death or whatever. Many of them saved through the ministry of the 144000 and the testimony of Enoch and Elijah. So the 144000 were given a special gift. According to most theologians, the 144000 will be raptured in the middle of the tribulation. How do we know. We see in the book of Revelation that we see them suddenly in Heaven. Before that they were on earth, 12000 from each tribulation. Suddenly they are already up there. If the Jews have such a privilege, so will those who walk closely with God. I want to encourage you. Again I emphasize, it is not by works of the flesh. Don’t think you fasted forty days, you already got your ticket. Who knows, on the day of the Rapture, you could be eating and drinking and backsliding. What I want to emphasize here is that it is good to lead a holy life. It is good to be consistent. You don’t have to be perfect. The ten wise virgins also fell asleep while waiting for the bridegroom. There will be an end time call. You know the alarm? Who raised the alarm? Who woke up the ten virgins? Most probably someone with a loud voice like David. The alarm are the prophets and the men and women of God who God will used to announce the alarm. I can assure you, I do not know at which time or which

place, or which decade, but a group of believers who walk with God and who work with angels and archangels going out all over the world will set the alarm. I already saw a vision of that. It will happen just before Jesus comes. When I first went to Australia in 1997, God showed me that vision. I got one particular angel who works with me and he brought me into that, and I saw that the week before Jesus came, and people were going into all places, and everybody who was sensitive to the Holy Spirit knew who the Messiah was and they knew what and when was the last call. They were going up and it was the last call. Why was it the last week? It may be symbolic of the last seven years or it may be the actual one week. In the time of Noah, there was the last call in the last week. It is mentioned in the book of Genesis. During the last week, a lot of things happened. It was like the final call. So God is merciful. A lot of us were sleep and snoring like the ten virgins but we have to prepare extra oil. Where do I get the extra oil? Good question. You build up the extra oil through your prayer and life. Even the forty day fasts and daily sacrifices of worship, meditation, warfare, intercession builds up extra reserve of oil. So when the time comes, even when you were sleeping at that time, when the call comes, you get back to your feet very fast. Your zeal for God, your constant prayer, your love for God, your time for meditation, and not a single minute or hour wasted, are used for building up your extra oil. So whatever happens, even when you are half hearted for some reason, when the last call comes, you will not miss Jesus’ coming because you have been diligent enough to build up your reserves of oil. And get behind those who are spearheading the end time work who are working with angels and archangels preparing the groundwork for the Church’s work in the end times.
