Despite all the negative scenarios we are seeing relative to the end of the world,
God in this last age has a glorious plan for those who love His appearing. He will fully reveal
Himself in this final age to the Bride of Jesus Christ to proclaim His glorious deliverance
amongst His elected people, and to make a way of escape for them, out from the plagues
that will soon engulf this earth. He will be sending His seventh angel-messenger to call out
His elect out of denominationalism. His angel will be crying, “ Come out of her, my people, that
ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues. For her sins have
reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities” (Revelation 18:4-5).
There will be a “catching away” of the church before the Great Tribulation takes
place upon this planet. “For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout,
with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise
first: Then we which are alive [and] remain shall be caught up together with them in the
clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord” (I Thessalonians
4:16-17).
Joel 2:23-26 says, "Be glad then, ye children of Zion, and rejoice in the Lord your
God: for He hath given you the former rain moderately, and He will cause to come down for
you the rain, the former rain and the latter rain in the first month. And the floors shall be
full of wheat, and the fats shall overflow with wine and oil. And I will restore to you the
years that the locust hath eaten, the cankerworm, and the caterpillar, and the
palmerworm, My great army which I sent among you. And ye shall eat in plenty, and be
satisfied, and praise the Name of the Lord your God, That hath dealt wondrously with you:
and My people shall never be ashamed."
The Book of Joel says that God is going to "RESTORE". Why? It’s because that the
church of the last days has seemingly lost God’s power. There have been some awful cold
drafts blowing on the church in this generation, and her eyes have sort of frozen shut and
she is blind to what God has in store for her. She needs some hot oil of the Spirit of God to
open her eyes. Unless she receives the Spirit of God she will go on substituting program for
power and creed for Word. She counts numbers for success, rather than to look for
fruit. The doctors of theology have shut the door to faith and forbade all to enter. They
neither go in, nor let anyone else go in. Their theology comes out of a text book on psychology
written by some unbeliever. There is a text book on psychology, one we all need; it is the
Bible. It is written by God and contains God's psychology. We don't need any doctor of
divinity to explain it to us. Receive ye the Holy Spirit and let Him do the explaining. The Holy
Spirit wrote the Book and He can tell you what is in it and what it means. That’s the Message
of restoration today, “Back to the Word; back to the Bible.”
God will take the Church of the end time right back to original Pentecost, back to the
original outpouring of the Holy Ghost. These insects in Joel 2 are but only one specie in four
different stages: locust, cankerworm, caterpillar and palmerworm. They have eaten
the life out of the original Bride Tree of Jesus Christ. This is the antiChrist spirit manifested
in organization, denomination and false doctrine throughout the ages. And the poor
little root and stalk of God’s original Tree which started in Pentecost is going to be restored
back by God for the final harvest. God isn't going to plant a new Church, but is going to bring
His original planting back to original seed. What did these insects do? The first thing it did
was, it took the fruit off, “brotherly love”, off of the church. The next worm came around
and eat off the joy, the leaves, the “fellowship”. The next came along and it ate off the
bark, the “protection”. Then the last stage of the worm sucked the very Life right out of it,
and made a conquer of the laity. It was the Nicolaitan system and Balaamism that cankered
the church of God throughout all the ages. The Nicolaitan doctrine was “the corruption of
the clergy as they sought political power amongst themselves”. While “Balaamism is the
subjection of the people to their system of creed and worship in order to hold them.” And that
very same spirit and doctrine is right amongst all Catholics and Protestants today, and it is
called DENOMINATION. Nicolaitanism is “organization, humanizing the leadership of the
church, and thereby deposing the Spirit”. Balaamism is “denominationalism which takes the
church manual instead of the Bible”. God’s hatred upon these systems is clearly stipulated in
Revelation 2:14-16 -” But I have a few things against thee, because thou hast there them
that hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balac to cast a stumblingblock before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed unto idols, and to commit fornication. So hast thou also them that hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitans, which thing I hate. Repent; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will fight against them with the sword of my mouth.”
