The Great and Fearful Day of the LORD

The LORD is speaking to us about our role in the great awakening that is happening all around us right now.

A Word The LORD revealed to me as I was reading Joel 2 recently.

Not only did I receive the Revelation, but also The LORD downloaded a part of His Plan for His Remnant Church in this day.

It’s all in accordance with His promise in Amos 3,

“Surely the Lord God does nothing, unless He reveals His secret to His servants the prophets.
8 A lion has roared! Who will not fear? The LORD God has spoken! Who can but prophesy?” Amos 3:7-8.

“Blow the shofar in Zion! Sound an alarm on My holy mountain! Let all living in the land tremble — for the day of ADONAI is coming — surely it is near!” Joel 2:1 TLV

There is a day coming, it is surely at hand, that the words of The LORD to Elijah are going to be heard by everyone who has ears to hear.

“Then He said, “Come out and stand on the mount before ADONAI .” Behold, ADONAI was passing by—a great and mighty wind was tearing at the mountains and shattering cliffs before . But ADONAI was not in the wind. After the wind there was an earthquake, but ADONAI was not in the earthquake. After the earthquake a fire, but ADONAI was not in the fire. After the fire there was a soft whisper of a voice. As soon as Elijah heard it, he wrapped his face in his mantle, went out and stood at the entrance of the cave.Then all of a sudden, a voice addressed him and said, “What are you doing here, Elijah?”” 1 Kings 19:11-13 TLV

The great and mighty wind represents the political turmoil around the world today.

Tearing the mountains represents the shaking of The LORD as applied to the mountains of the world’s finance, religion, education, business, and more — all being torn apart before our eyes.

Shattering the cliffs, or rocks, represents the breakdown of the world’s efforts to ‘be god’, or control and guide their own destiny, especially at the obvious expense of faith in Yeshua HaMashiac and the hope and peace He brings.

The earthquake represents the effect of the present shaking.

The fire represents the Ruach ha-Kodesh as He pours living waters on a dry, parched, and barren land.

The whisper represents the voice of God as He gives His Plans and Blueprints to His servants, the prophets. (Amos 3:7)

So we are left with the question, “What are you doing here?”

In this, The LORD is speaking to us about our role in the great awakening that is happening all around us right now.

He is preparing us to be prepared to receive and act upon the role He leads us into — the role He wants us to do, the role He has prepared for us, our destiny.

He is appointing and anointing us for our roles — from janitor to CEO — and He is equipping us for that role no matter what it is and no matter what our experience or qualifications!

I find myself getting quite excited by the prospect of that which is about to take place on this tiny speck of dust we call earth.

I believe we are about to see facets of the nature and power of God that we have never even imagined possible.

It’s an ‘end time scenario’ that we are watching now as we head towards the great harvest, the rapture, and the tribulation — all as described in God’s Word, the Bible.

Don’t fear, don’t fret or worry, for ADONAI, The LORD God Almighty has His hand on everything.

Just rejoice in the goodness and mercy of our wonderful God and Saviour!
