HOW EZEKIEL MIRRORS THE END-TIMES PROPHECIES GIVEN IN REVELATION

This is a great end-times sermon from Jonathan Cahn. He shows how Ezekiel gives Israel a prophecy of coming judgement that mirrors the prophecy John provides the world in the book of Revelation. It is remarkable how God has given Jonathan Cahn this ability and empowered him to share it with the world in his many books. I was blown away by what he revealed in his first book, The Harbinger and have therefore purchased most of his other books.

I had the privilege of meeting Jonathan in Jerusalem and sharing with him what God was doing in China with the Gatherings. It is amazing how God orchestrates those meetings. I was staying at the Leonardo Hotel in Jerusalem.. The gatherings are organised by the Watchmen for the Nations organisation. A gathering is unlike a Christian conference where there are set times for worship, keynote speakers and a pre-arranged order of events. A gathering is a call to come and worship the Lord while corporately posturing together to hear what the Spirit is saying to the church. It is a time of gathering the family of God to move according to Jesus’ prayer in John 17 for unity with one another and with Him.

I was ordering an omelette for breakfast when a voice behind me asked, “Could I have one, too?” I looked around, and it was Jonathan Cahn. Out came, “Jonathan Cahn?” and he said, ” That’s right. I then asked if he was here for the Gathering. He said, No, I am here for a time of rest. I have been ill. I returned to my table and asked the Holy Spirit if there was a reason for me meeting Jonathan. The Holy Spirit made it clear that I was to tell him about the Gatherings. I was reluctant to do so as Jonathan was with his wife and two children. I eventually got the courage and went to their table. I apologised for the interruption but told Jonathan that I believed God wanted him to know about the Gathering that was taking place in Jerusalem. He was gracious enough to let me share more. I then told him about Watchmen for the Nations and the purpose of the Gatherings. What turned out to be the “bombshell” was that of the 3000 people at the conference, more than half were Chinese. Jonathan said, No way. He had no concept of what God was doing in China and was astounded that over 1500 Chinese would come to Jerusalem to pray for and support Israel.

THE BIBLE ON JUDGEMENT AND THE WRATH OF GOD

Are we storing up for ourselves the wrath of God?

Francis Chan talks on the wrath of God and judgement and what it reveals about God and His ways.

The world and even Christians don’t like to read the following verses of Scripture, but Francis recognises we are in the “last days” when God will pour out His wrath on an unrepentant world. He is called by God to deliver this word of coming judgement regardless of the cost just as the O.T. prophets were called to deliver words of coming judgement to Israel and Judah.

“The Lord avenges and is furious.
The Lord will take vengeance on His adversaries,
And He reserves wrath for His enemies;
The Lord is slow to anger and great in power,
And will not at all acquit the wicked.” Nahum 1:2-3

“But in accordance with your hardness and your impenitent heart you are storing up for yourself wrath in the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgement of God, who “will render to each one according to his deeds” Romans 2:5-6
