ANGELICA ZAMBRANO'S 4TH EXPERIENCE CUARTA EXPERIENCIA DICIEMBRE 2014

Note: Angelica is not personally connected to this blog. We have
aimed to help spread the message God gave her with an English
translation from her 4^th Experience video – watch it here in Spanish:



SHARE THIS TESTIMONY, THAT SOULS MAY BE SAVED



  This is the 4th Experience of Heaven and Hell that the Lord
gave to Angelica Zambrano. She was shown the state of the church,
Heavenly creatures, the spiritual warfare against believers, the
importance of testifying, God’s saving love and that the Lord is coming
very soon for a prepared church.


Angelica: … God bless you all my brothers and sisters. It is a huge
blessing to be here, to greet you and to bless your lives through this
testimony, which God has used to speak to me. He didn’t make it just for
me but he made it to bless your life as well so we will be able to
persevere in God’s will together.


MINISTRY


First of all I want to tell you where I come from. I currently live
in Chimborazo province in Ecuador. I am here in Cumanda and I can tell
you all that it’s been a blessing to be working for the Lord with my
husband and my daughter. We are pastors who belong to the MDI Council.
We are also here now with our brother Gabriel who helps us editing and
producing the ministry called God’s Dream (Sueno de Dios) and also
representing the Ministry Word of Prophetic Revelation (Ministerio
Palabra de Revelacion Profetica), which God has allowed me to minister
in during these years.


It has been a blessing and a big privilege for me to serve the Lord
and I want to say that God loves us so much and His love is so big that
every day we can see that love in the air that we breath, also in our
lives, because one more day of life is one more day of hope. One more
chance that God gives to us in order to be able to seek his presence
because the scripture says that apart from Him we can do nothing.


THE 4^TH EXPERIENCE


I will tell you part of the fourth experience that the Lord let me
have. It was something very significant which has impacted my life as
the other three previous experiences. This one has been the last one
that the Lord has given to me. I am very happy and grateful to God
because of this revelation. I also know that it is a huge responsibility
that God has given to me because one day I will give account to him and
my desire is that this message reaches your heart so you will be able
to draw near with Him every day. Do not faint, do not look back either
because God has called us to be saved but not to be condemned.


When God let me have the fourth experience it was something
tremendous because I never thought that I was going to have a fourth
experience. A sister in the Lord was praying with me when suddenly God
asked her to pray for me because He was going to show me something. It
was supernatural because the presence of God descended in that place and
when we were praying the Holy Spirit manifested himself in a very
special way so that I could see God’s presence moving into that place.
His shinning light descended. When I was praying God filled me so much
that I heard His voice saying that He was going to give me one more
experience, in which He was going to show me something special that
God’s people had to know, and immediately He took me out of my body. My
spirit came out and when it happened He took me to a place.


THE STATE OF MY CHURCH


I found that place so beautiful and it had thousands of jars but it
also had one thing that was difficult for me to understand, and I said:
Lord, “Why do these jars look like that”? As some were upright and the
others were upside down.


I noticed that some had very little oil and they were getting old.
The other jars, the upright ones were very pretty and the oil that those
jars had was overflowing and they were shinning like gold. I asked Him:
Lord, why are these jars different? And He said to me:“Daughter, this is the state of my people”. 


I looked up and there was a note that said  “The State of My Church”
written on it; and I realised that those jars all belonged to brothers
and sisters in the Lord because we all are part of the Christ’s body, we
are a family in the Lord and that’s why I want to tell you from God’s
side, that you must be concerned about taking care of your jar because
we have to look after our spiritual life.


We can dress well, we can speak well, we might have a well known
ministry or not; we can have God’s calling and He is able to use us
because the gifts are irrevocable, but we have to understand something
and to have it very clear, it’s that the soul is something very valuable
and salvation is individual. We must fight for our salvation. (Phil
2,12-16)


There are many jars, which are very old because people have forgotten
to renew that oil. People are not concerned about seeking the presence
of God anymore. They think that fasting is just about spending time but
the real fasting is to look for God’s presence, and to subdue the flesh
because Jesus said that “the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak.” (Matt 26,41)


The flesh doesn’t like to keep vigilant. Flesh doesn’t like praying
nor fasting, but get up in the name of Jesus and this is the time for
you to start to seek the presence of the Lord so that your jar will be
restored because if it’s not restored, nor renewed or without new oil
you will be condemned.


Let’s remember that the Bible talks about five foolish virgins (Matt
25,1-13). They did not take care of their lamps, nor were they concerned
about having their lamps filled. When the bridegroom took the five wise
virgins with him, the foolish virgins realized that it was too late for
them.


Brethren, do not wait until the same situation happens to you. Do not
wait because God is giving us an opportunity and I believe that you
have to get up through these words. This is not with the purpose of
bringing you down or for you to say, “It’s all over for me”. No
brethren, this message is for you to get up in the name of Jesus and
persevere because God has even more gifts for you!

Matt
25,1-13: “Then the kingdom of heaven shall be likened to ten virgins
who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom.  Now five of them were wise, and five were foolish. Those who were foolish took their lamps and took no oil with them,but the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps. But while the bridegroom was delayed, they all slumbered and slept. And at midnight a cry was heard: ‘Behold, the bridegroom is coming; go out to meet him!’ Then all those virgins arose and trimmed their lamps. And the foolish said to the wise, ‘Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out.’ But
the wise answered, saying, ‘No, lest there should not be enough for us
and you; but go rather to those who sell, and buy for yourselves.’

And
while they went to buy, the bridegroom came, and those who were ready
went in with him to the wedding; and the door was shut. Afterward the other virgins came also, saying, ‘Lord, Lord, open to us!’  But he answered and said, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, I do not know you.’ “Watch therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour in which the Son of Man is coming.”

HEAVENLY CREATURES


Then, the Lord moved me out from that place to another one and I was
very content, I was feeling happy while I was walking with the Lord,
because He was showing me lots of things about the current state of His
Church.


Then, He said to me: “Daughter, now look at this”. I
saw marvellous horses and every horse was so attractive, big and white,
with long tails. What can I say, every horse had a golden plaque on
them and they looked lovely. I was truly amazed. I have never seen
horses like them. They were many of them and the Lord told me that every
horse has an owner and they belong to us, to His Church. It impacted
me, and I can say that we all have a horse up there because the word of
God talks about white horses.


PREPARE YOURSELF, HE IS COMING SOON


After that, the Lord took me to another place. He did not show me as
much as the previous experiences but one of the things that he reminded
me was to talk to His Church about His coming. To announce that He will
come soon and I want to remind you one more time that Christ comes soon
for a prepared Church. This is one of the messages that nowadays are
difficult to hear in many places, because people call that “legalism”;
but I really want to tell you that Christ will come back soon! So let’s
prepare ourselves because the Word of the Lord says that no one knows
the day or hour when He will come, not even the angels, only our
Heavenly Father. Let’s get ready because one day He will come for you
and for me and we will enjoy ourselves up there in the presence of the
Lord, forever and ever. (Note: Angelica was shown in her 3^rd experience that only 20% of the evangelical church was ready for the Lord’s coming).

1John2,28-29:
And now, little children, abide in Him, that when He appears, we may
have confidence and not be ashamed before Him at His coming. If you know that He is righteous, you know that everyone who practices righteousness is born of Him.

THE SPIRITUAL BATTLE


The enemy has come only to steal and kill and destroy. The enemy has
destroyed many people and for that reason the Lord showed me part of
Hell. He took me to a place where I saw many demons together but I saw a
special place there; a high place with kind of ladders for the demons
to walk up. I did not know what was happening but I saw that the demons
were walking up and they opened a big book. They were talking one to
each other but I couldn’t understand; they were pushing each other and
it seemed to me that they were arguing. I asked the Lord: What are these
demons doing here? And what is the meaning of that book? The Lord
showed me names of His servants in that book. As there is a book of Life
in the Kingdom of Heaven, there is also a book in Hell, and I don’t
know the name of that book because the Lord did not show me a name. I
can only tell you what I saw, as the Bible says that nothing can be
added to it and nothing taken from it.


I could see many servants of God who I know and others that I don’t
know and the demons were planning to destroy those ministries, to
destroy those servants of God and their names in Hell are very important
because I can say that the cost of each head of each servant written in
that demon’s book is very high for them.


The devil has many things to destroy ministries but listen carefully
to me! In the name of Jesus all plans from the devil against your
ministry is rebuked and also against all purposes that God has for you.
If the devil hit you in the head in order to finish the plan that God
has for you, he won’t achieve that! That is what he wants to do but the
Bible says that the one who is in us is greater than the one who is in
the world.


There is no weapon forged against us that will prosper. The devil can
do lots of things but while you and I persevere in the gap, he won’t
destroy you, you won’t fall, you won’t faint and you will see a major
victory from God. You might have done a lot of deliberations, or you
might have fought with the devil and you have battled every day with
what God has given to you. Keep it doing like that because this is a
daily battle. The spiritual battle is not just for a day but 24 hours a
day, if I can say it like that.


While I was watching, the demons were down there lining up and each
one was in charge to destroy one of the servants. I mean, they basically
had a task. If they have tasks to do in hell to present them to devil,
we even have many more tasks, as we are Jesus Christ’s church that has a
major responsibility. The Bible says “Go and Preach the Gospel to all
creation”, and this is the time for us to take up that responsibility;
this is the time for us to say Lord, It’s true that one day I will give
an account to you. Because do you know what? The Bible says, “Every tree
that does not bear good fruit will be cut down and thrown into the
fire”. Do not let yourself to be cut down but start to bear good fruit.
Because of that good fruit you will have great reward in the Kingdom of
Heaven.


After that, the Lord took me to another place where I saw many jails
like I had seen in the previous experiences. All of them had names and
numbers, so we went into one of those jails and I saw weird things. I
saw demons; many of them and I could see that those demons were coming
to confuse people. I could see that the demons task was to confuse many
servants but as they couldn’t achieve their goal, they ended up there,
in jail, tied and tormented by other demons. In other words I would like
you to understand that when they came to earth to confuse God’s
servants with false words, with false messages, the servants discovered
the demons purposes and they rebuked them, they sent them out in Jesus
Name so the demons fell to that tormented place and when they fell they
were tormented by other demons. Those Demons are currently being
tormented and the Bible talks about that.


I want to keep encouraging you now. I keep saying to you that is time
for you to open your eyes and wake up and don’t let the devil come to
give you a spiritual dream but do the opposite instead! Fight my
brother! Fight my sister! Because we are living in the final days and
many things are coming up. The Bible says, “Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of many will grow cold”. (Matt 24,12)

Eph 6,10-13: My brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For
we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities,
against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against
spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

SPEAK UP


After that, the Lord took me to another place and He was talking to
me saying that I had to do the job on earth. He said that I had to
fulfil it without being quiet; and I said, Lord, That’s true. I have to
do it because one day I will give an account to you for everything. He
said “Daughter, don’t stop preaching my Word, and don’t stop announcing what I have shown you!”


Several times the devil has risen against me. Many people might not
believe it; many people do; but nevertheless, one of the things that God
reminded me was that He is my faithful witness and if He is so, I must
keep going because one day I will give an account to Him.


My brother, I want to tell you that the Lord said to me: “I
have revealed things like these to many of my servants; and I have
revealed many things in words. I have revealed about Heaven and Hell but
they have been afraid and they have been silent without saying
anything. Go and tell them to do it, because if they don’t do it, I will
demand of them”.


Brethren, if God has revealed something to you, then speak out! Don’t
keep it to yourself! Don’t be quiet! You will go to Hell if you remain
in silence. You will go to hell because God will ask you and account for
that.


The Lord told me that when we keep quiet many souls are lost and
besides that, that their blood will be demanded on our head. I encourage
you in the name of Jesus, because the Lord asked me to tell you so. I
don’t know where you are, I don’t know who you are, but if you are one
of the ones who have heard the voice of God and also have seen what God
has shown you, Don’t be quiet! Don’t be quiet because if you remain
silent, you will have a horrible consequence.

 Ezekiel 33,7-9: “So you, son of man: I
have made you a watchman for the house of Israel; therefore you shall
hear a word from My mouth and warn them for Me. When I say to the
wicked, ‘O wicked man, you shall surely die!’ and you do not speak to
warn the wicked from his way, that wicked man shall die in his iniquity;
but his blood I will require at your hand. Nevertheless if you
warn the wicked to turn from his way, and he does not turn from his
way, he shall die in his iniquity; but you have delivered your soul.”

After that, the Lord moved me out from those jails and I was crying,
asking Him to take me out from that place (Hell). I didn’t want to be
there anymore. I was saying: “Lord! I don’t want to be here anymore; I
want to keep working for you! Please take me out from here and bring my
life back.” I asked things like that to the Lord. I said, “Please bring
me my life back because you have the power to do it.” And while I was
asking Him those things, how can I say it, He spoke to me about His love
and He said: “Go and say to the humanity that I love them; go and tell people that I gave my life because of them, to give them eternal life.”


I was just listening to all that the Lord was saying to me, and I was
crying and crying, because I truly can say that in the first experience
the Lord Gave me, He said three things to me before He brought me back
into life:

1. I will take you to many places and you will go with me.
2. You will see my Glory but never boast yourself about anything; and also,
3. Tell the humanity that I love them.

GOD SO LOVED …


I remembered those things and that’s why I cried a lot because He was
talking about His love. I remembered many things of the previous
experiences and God shook my heart; it was so special because what
Christ did for us was something unique that was significant in the
history of the nations. I can say that nobody gives her/his life for
other person, but Christ did it! He did it all due to His love, because
the Bible says “God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while
we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” (Romans 5, 9)


He didn’t mind His pain, He didn’t mind about the pain that He had in
His body; He didn’t mind! Although He already knew what was going to
happen, He didn’t mind anything because He cares about us: the Humanity.
The last drop of His body was spilt when He gave His life in order to
die for us; and He died to be resurrected because He is alive and He
resurrected to come to tell us that He is the way and the truth and the
life. No one comes to the Father except through Him.


So that I now can tell you that the love of God is so big and, many
people say that they don’t believe in God, that God doesn’t exist. They
are truly wrong. If you don’t believe in God, Repent! You might say: `I
don’t see God`, but you breathe even if you don’t see the air, you are
breathing. God is like that! You feel the air that runs through your
cheeks and your body and you can breathe but you can see that air. God
is that real. God gives us the air and He exists. He is real and eternal
and because of that reason, He is the only one who gives us eternal
life and nobody else does. We find salvation in Him. Because His love
covers a multitude of sins, no matter the life that you have or who you
are! If you repent He will forgive you.


Something that I remember from a long time ago, this is a testimony. I
was preaching in a place and a man came in there; and the man crying
asked me: “Do you think that God loves me?” And I answered: “Yes, God
loves you.” But he also asked, “Why do you believe that He loves me?”
And I replied, “Because He loves the humanity. The Bible says that He
loves the sinner but He hates sin.” Then the man asked, “Do you think
that God will forgive my sin?” And I said, “Yes! God will forgive your
sins because the Bible says Ïf we confess our sins, The Lord is faithful
and just and will forgive us our sins.”

1John 1,9: “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.”

I remember that the man fell on his knees and crying he said: “I
don’t believe that God forgives me because I have caused a lot of
damage. I have caused a lot of damage to people and you say that God
loves me and forgives me? I don’t believe that.” I said to him: “The man
thinks one thing but God thinks another thing and God’s thoughts are
not as men’s. Because men’s thoughts are limited, but God’s thoughts,
the one who is all powerful, the one who is alive, real and eternal has
unlimited and the best thoughts ever.”


The Man kept crying and said, “I don’t know; I don’t know if God
forgives that I’ve killed many people and that I have done a lot of
damage.” I said to him, “Perhaps many people may not forgive you but God
does!” So the man ended up receiving Jesus into his heart and when this
happened he was not crying of pain or sadness anymore. He was crying as
a child, saying, “I’ve never felt so much joy, so much joy! What I’m
feeling now in my heart is something unique and special! I feel that
something fills me. I feel something empty that is being filled by
something that I can’t understand!” I said to him, “That is God’s love!
Because Christ died for us to give us salvation and eternal life, and to
give us peace and joy. Because the Bible says: `Peace I leave with you;
my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives.`”. When
the man heard that, he said: “That true, that’s true!” This man got up
and started to honour, to glory and worship God. I bless that man’s life
because I know that God has big plans for him. The truth is that this
is a very beautiful testimony because that man could see God’s power,
God’s love and God’s restoration in his life.


I am thankful with God because He lets us see His love in all of us
and even more , you may seek love’s God but you don’t find it, but you
don’t find it yet because you haven’t opened the door of your heart.
Open it! So Jesus will enter to live in you and once it happens all in
your life will change and I assure that to you, because the Bible says
that we have everything with Christ. Although the devil comes against
us, Christ will give us the victory.


It is wonderful to have Christ living in us. I feel very happy
serving God and that’s why I encourage you to seek the love of God, to
seek the way of eternal life, to seek salvation and to keep going in
Christ; because the Bible says that away from him we can do nothing, We
can’t do anything nor save ourselves. We can enter to the third Heaven
just with Him; only Him. Because it is him who will come one day for us
in the clouds and He will take us to the third Heaven. I believe that it
will be a great blessing for your life.


LETS PRAY …


I will pray for you now. I don’t know the situation of your life, I
don’t know what you are living now. Perhaps you are lost; perhaps you
don’t know Christ yet and you are living a difficult situation, an
intense moment in your life without exit, without solution; but I
introduce you to the exit now. I’ll introduce you the solution that is
Jesus Christ. You will find the victory in your life with Him. I invite
you to close your eyes wherever you are and repeat after me this prayer.
Ask the Lord to restore your vessel. Ask the Lord to fill you with new
oil so; He will be able to restore you in the name of Jesus. Close your
eyes and say:


Heavenly Father, I approach to you to ask you to forgive me, to ask
you to restore me, to ask you to fill me with your holy presence and to
do your perfect and holy will with me. I reconcile myself to your
presence and ask you to rewrite my name on the book of life. I give you
my life in this moment because it belongs to you today. I also give you
my burdens today for you to absolutely control my life. Lord, I need
you, I need you to be the King of my life, the King of my salvation.
Father of Glory, help me to persevere in your way. Do not let me
despair; do not let me be diverted; do not let me go back away from your
path. Help me to persevere on a firm and constant way until you come
for me.


Father, thank you for the life; thanks for the salvation. Thank you
because you are good and your mercy is forever. Glory, Honour and praise
to you Holy Spirit, you are real and precious and you are here. I pray
you Lord bless everyone who is watching this video (or reading this
testimony), whoever who has seen these words. Lord I pray that every
word will be restoration and reformation and every plan that the devil
had against each life, against ministries, against your purpose is
rebuked by the power of your Word and they are broken in the name of
Jesus. Disable! In the name of Jesus Christ we declare that the devil
and his demons are confused. We declare the victory of Christ in every
life. I declare that every lamp is restored and renewed.


Holy Spirit, fill each jar with new oil in the name of Jesus. Lift up
the ministries that have fallen; Father, restore them in the name of
Jesus. Holy Spirit of God, father I pray you bless every purpose of
every person who is here, lovely Lord; your purifier presence overflows.
Holy Spirit of God, we can feel your presence because it is real.
Because you are omnipotent, you are omniscient. In the Name of Jesus I
declare that its time of restoration for your life I declare that it’s
revival time, time of purification in the name of Jesus; a new rebirth
in the name of Jesus. Holy Spirit of God, what has been seed, will be
harvested today. I pray that this word won’t stay in the air or in the
empty space but it will restore in the name of Jesus. Father of Glory,
yours are the praise and the honour, only yours! The homage, the majesty
and the Glory are only yours. You are Holy. You are precious and
wonderful. We say thank you my God; in the name of Jesus. Amen and Amen.
Glory to God!


God bless all my brothers and friends in a special way. What could I
say, let’s keep going because Christ comes for a prepared church. Do not
be dismayed, because our reward is up there. God Bless you.

WHEN THE LORD WALKED ACROSS THE SKY; THE RAPTURE OF THE CHURCH VISION OF MAY 17,2004 BY DR. OWUOR

T

HE DAY OF RAPTURE is that special day that has been set aside by god almighty as the fearful moment of reckoning when the lord Jesus will return from heaven to literally take his holy church from this earth into the glorious kingdom of heaven. It is a secret event that will happen in a flash, and in the twinkling of an eye, as no man can fathom. It is a day that will come like a thief in the middle of the night, without any notice or announcement whatsoever. Upon the realization of that day, the gates of heaven will swing open, followed by the loud command, and the voice of the archangel, and then the mighty trumpet call of god. That is when the lord Jesus will finally appear in the clouds, and the dead in Christ who are currently asleep in the dust of the earth will awake. These holy dead  Christians will resurrect and be the first to rise up in the air, to meet the lord in the clouds. It is only after then, that those Christians who will still be alive at the time of rapture, yet having lived godly lives in complete holiness at the time, will be lifted up to catch up with the rest in the air, to meet the lord in the sky.

VISION OF RAPTURE

It is extremely astounding that way back in the year 2004, the lord god almighty of heaven had already began to engage with me on this weighty matter of the glorious coming of the messiah, and the preparations required of it. It was on that memorable may 17th day of the year 2004, that the lord decided to speak with me about the coming of the messiah. In that vision, he showed me how the most  anticipated and revered day of the glorious rapture of the holy church of Christ would take place. It all happened in the vision of night when the lord asserted unto me the need for the church in the four corners of the earth to repent, walk in holiness and prepare for the glorious rapture. The creator of Israel showed me that vision in two segments that may 17th 2004 night. The first part of this visitation was so profound that it took my breath away. This is because in that vision of god, i found myself standing here on the earth while looking right into the skies above. It was while i was still gazing at the sky, that events began to unfold on the right hand part of the sky, in a manner never witnessed before. On that right hand part of the sky, all of a sudden, horizontal golden rings appeared in the sky.  Those two horizontal mighty rings that appeared on the right-hand side of the sky were so flexible that they changed their formation all the time. Then the glory of the lord hit the two wedding rings as they changed their formations. Every time they changed their formations horizontally they were placed side by side and gave a formation that looked like the figure 8 written horizontally. The rings themselves were made up of beautifully decorated crown-like dotted design running all around their surfaces.

TRUMPET BLASTS

As all this went on with the glorious wedding rings, then all of a sudden the loud shout from heaven occurred and shocked me a great deal. Following that shout from heaven, that is when i heard the mighty voice from heaven announce at that extreme right-hand side of the sky saying, “LOOK! THE LORD IS ABOUT TO APPEAR IN THE SKY.” Then the glory of god shone very brightly and intensely on that right- hand part of the sky. At that moment,
a new unfolding was about to unravel. This was immediately followed by the sounding of the mighty trumpet call of the lord god almighty in heaven. The trumpet blasts that i heard, sounded on that very right-hand side of the sky where the rings were. 

THE GLORIOUS CROWN

At this point the glory of the lord suddenly appeared at the exact position where the wedding rings were. At that point, god almighty made me know that the final culmination of events were about to occur in the sky. That is when finally the lord walked out of heaven into the sky, and stood there right in front of me, and looking at me. I could very clearly see his beautiful crown that he wore, and his whiter than white robe, including the red cloth that run across his shoulder from right to left. The crown the lord had on, was glittering with such immense glory of rich gold and some bluish beautiful decorations that no man can envisage. The beautiful rich bluish gold that was mounted on the crown indeed stood out and highlighted its decoration.

That is when the lord deliberately drew my attention closer to his mighty crown that i may be able to observe it clearer including its finest details. At that time, that is when the lord took his nail-pierced left-hand and stretched it towards me in order to show me the nail-print that it beheld. The nail-pierce that i saw on the lord's hand was so glorious as was his hand. Once the lord our redeemer was sure that i had paid complete attention to his nail-pierced left-hand, that is when he finally decided to take that hand and use it to prepare his glorious crown on the head. At that point, upon preparing his highly decorated crown, the lord then turned and faced the left-hand side of the sky, and then in a most stunning event, he shockingly walked across the sky all the way towards the  left-most extreme end of the sky. This was the most stunning event i had ever witnessed in my entire life. The lord Jesus the messiah now literally walking across the sky towards the left most end, as i looked on. However, as he mightily walked on across the sky, what trembled me most and caused me to fear, was the fact that every footstep he made on the sky, left behind an astonishing footprint of glory that literally glowed across the sky.

The glorious footprints that the lord left across the sky, could literally be traced way back from the right- hand side of the sky where he began his journey from. One other shocking thing that i was privileged to witness, was the fact that immediately the lord appeared in the sky, he seems to have taken total charge and full control of the skies above the earth, that nothing else could be of any consequence again. On that day, i got to taste a little glimpse of what the reign of the messiah and his authority thereof, will entail. However, when the lord finally reached the far left end of the sky, he stopped and turned to face me. Then he immediately took his right nail-pierced hand and prepared the crown that he wore. Very much aware that i was now fully focussed on him, the lord then took his right nail-pierced hand and deliberately stretched it towards me in a move that was meant to show me the nail-prints that today mark his right-hand too.  As i was still caught up in the shock and awe of the nail-print on his right-hand and the glory it beheld, that is when all of a sudden, the lord turned, and heaven opened, and he literally walked right into heaven as i watched by. I remember at this point crying out to him while saying, 'lord, please take me with you.' the feeling and experience of being in his close proximity and physical presence was so overwhelming that all men could never trade it off for anything however great and costly. I still vividly recall that as i cried out to him to take me with him into the heaven he had walked towards, my  tears dropped as he walked in, and the clouds began to cover him inside there. That is when the god of heaven spoke to me aloud by voice saying, 'look, he is coming back soon!' then, i resigned to pursuing his taking me with him. But at that time, i now remained focussed on the sky and totally amazed at the glorious footprints he left behind across the skies. That is when i woke up and was so shocked at what had just happened to me, that i could not hold myself. I collapsed!

THE REVELATION

During his entire public ministry here on earth, our lord Jesus had on several occasions promised the church that one day he would depart from them and go up into the father's house in heaven, and prepare a place for them. In that most celebrated promise, the lord alluded the fact that there are many rooms in his father's house and he would undertake the task of preparing those rooms for the glorious holy church (john 14:1). It is astounding that in the process of endeavouring to fulfil this promise, one day Jesus took his disciples to the mount of olives. It was after he had accomplished his mission to deliver man, and gloriously resurrected from the dead, that the lord Jesus took his disciples onto the eastern slopes on the mount of olives at a place called Bethany. At that place, he lifted up his nail-pierced hands to bless them in what could be considered as his farewell statement unto them. It was however while he was in that process of blessing them, that god's cloud appeared and lifted him up into the glorious kingdom of heaven. That cloud literally raptured the lord Jesus into heaven. There are several outstanding biblical scriptures that not only document, but also highly celebrate the day of rapture as the most significant day in the calendar of heaven. One of those biblical scriptures clearly comes out to promise that the day of rapture would be a very highly secretive and hidden day whose synonym can be equated none other than a thief that comes to steal in the middle of the night (rev 16:15). Likewise, some of the other scriptures that document the events at rapture, have gone ahead to describe the unimaginable speed with which the rapture takes place as being equivalent to a flash, in the twinkling of an eye (1cor15:50-56). Nonetheless, the most outstanding scripture that clearly lays out the mechanism and protocol through which the rapture will take place is the book of first Thessalonians chapter 4 verse 16 through 17. 16 for the lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of god, and the dead in Christ will rise first. 17 after that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the lord in the air. And so we will be with the lord forever (1thess 4:16-17).

THE SHOUT OF GOD

This important scripture vividly choreographs the events at rapture as occasioned in the may 17th 2004 vision above. We can see that following precursor events, the lord Jesus himself will literally come down from heaven to take his holy church. However, before the lord himself comes down to take his holy elect, the heavens must first retain him till the restitution of all things. After the biblically proclaimed restoration of all things, the lord Jesus will then appear in his glory, though this time around, not as he did in his first appearing. While he may have appeared at the first time in a meek and humble way at that Bethlehem manger, his coming at rapture nonetheless is by no means humble. This appearance of the lord however will be with great pomp and power as has not happened since the earth was created. We can clearly see that in this may 17th 2004 vision of the rapture, before the lord appears in the sky, there was the loud shout of god almighty, followed by the voice  of the archangel and then the trumpet call of god. By the bible affirming that the lord himself will come with those prerequisite announcement events, he basically means that those precursor events will be concomitant circumstances attending to his appearance. And by highlighting the shout of the voice of god from heaven before the messiah appears, we can see clearly that the lord infers to the fact that the shout is meant to be a signal that the king is coming with power and the authority. The shout of god is intended to portray the authority of the conqueror who is coming. It is important to note that in this vision, when the lord appears, the first thing he does is to prepare his beautifully decorated glorious crown, which conveys a clear message to the nations to the fact that this time around he is coming as the victorious king and conqueror. The command of god therefore is meant to give order to the heavenly host in his train that they may prepare for he is coming out. It is also a command that essentially gives directive for the heavenly hosts who attend him to know that the last onslaught of his final assault and triumph over sin, is underway.

THE ARCHANGEL'S VOICE

In this may 17th 2004 vision, when the voice of the archangel appeared, he shouted on the left-hand side of the sky while saying, “look! The lord is about to appear in the sky.” We can see that the voice of the archangel that came before the messiah appeared in the sky, was essentially intended to summon up the innumerable heavenly angels who are to tend him on that day as he comes back for the holy elect. In this way, the archangel will give notice of the approach and the glorious appearance of the great redeemer and judge.

THE TRUMPET OF GOD

After the announcement of the archangel that the lord is about to appear in the sky, we can clearly see that, it is an announcement that is further proclaimed by the trumpet call of god. For when the trumpet sounds, its role is to awaken the asleep in Christ Jesus. These are the Christians who are in the dust of the earth and hence they are summoned by the trumpet blasts of god. This trumpet call is the same trumpet blast that normally accompanies the revelation of god when he himself comes down in the glory of his might. We can equally see that earlier on too, this same trumpet blast was used to convene god's people Israel, into a holy convocation at the time when Jehovah himself decided to descend from heaven and visit them on mt. Sinai. 16 on the morning of the third day there was thunder and lightning, with a thick cloud over the mountain, and a very loud trumpet blast. Everyone in the camp trembled (ex 19:16). 5 god has ascended amid shouts of joy, the lord amid the sounding of trumpets (psalm 47:5). 2 “make two trumpets of hammered silver, and use them for calling the community together and for having the camps set out (num 10:2). From time immemorial it has always been god's routine to employ the use of trumpet blast to summon the Israelite community together so that they may observe a sacred assembly. Here too in this vision, we can distinctly see that the lord is using his trumpet blast to convene god's elect to gather in a major preparatory step for their glorification as the rapture commencement. Again, if the trumpet does not sound a clear call, who will get ready for battle? (1cor 14:8).
The lord himself by proclaiming that the lord himself will on that day come down, the scriptures essentially imply that on the day of rapture, the lord will come down in all his majesty and presence
in person as seen in this vision, and will not deputize it to any agency of heaven. In other words the lord will on this occasion not deputize anything to the angels, nor to the spirit of the lord, but undertake to take charge himself in person when it comes to that midnight kidnapping of the royal bride. He will descend from heaven and come into the air and the space above the earth, in order to accomplish that heavenly cherished noble task. It is amazing that the lord jesus ascended into heaven after his resurrection and passed through the same material heavens into the upper higher heavens. In the same way at rapture, he will himself pass through these same material heavens in order to come down into the air to meet the glorious church. This will by no means be a simple silent event, but a great event of full pomp and massive power from the upper heaven. He will descend into the skies above the earth even as he ascended upon resurrection 11 “men of galilee,” they said, “why do you stand here looking into the sky? This same Jesus, who has been taken from you into heaven, will come back in the same way you have seen him go into heaven.” (acts 1:11). Therefore, when that day of rapture realizes, the lord Jesus the messiah, will come down from heaven in the same way he ascended. This vision becomes a very important iconical conversation that firmly establishes that the bible is true and is now coming to fulfilment.

THE DEAD IN CHRIST ARISE

The dead in Christ are those who have fallen asleep in Christ Jesus. And in this case, we can undoubtedly see that death does not annihilate them for they are just asleep and caught up in an undisturbed rest. These Christians have basically retired out of this troublesome world to rest from their labours and sorrows as they rest in Christ Jesus. Therefore, being still one in Christ, and in union with him they sleep under his  special care and protection and in so doing, their souls are in his presence and under his power so that they are not lost and neither are they loosers. On the contrary, they are great gainers in death and their removal from the world is for their better. They are hence the ones that shall be raised up for the dead and awakened from of their sleep. These doctrine of the resurrection of the dead at the coming of the Christ, is what serves as the great antidote against the fear of death that most often consume all men and women, plus children. For Christ himself having risen from the dead have become the first fruit from those that are asleep. But Christ has indeed been raised from the dead, the first fruits of those who have fallen asleep (1cor 15:20). Therefore, this vision goes a long way to underscore that those who are dead in him are indeed not lost neither are they perished. Christ's resurrection has become the confirmation and litmus proof of all he ever said in the gospel. The word of god has hence brought light and immortality of life as he promised. That can only mean that the state of being asleep in Christ Jesus, can only get better since on the day of rapture they shall be glorious and happier as they receive their eternal imperishable bodies. Therefore, from this vision we see that the dead in Christ are those Christians who at the point of death were living repentant and holy righteous lives. It does not in any way refer to all Christians who have died, but directly points to only those who in their Christian walk, were in relentless pursuit of righteousness, holiness and the godliness entailed thereof.

THOSE WHO ARE ALIVE

As the scripture elaborates, the elect dead in Christ shall hence be resurrected, raised and given glorious eternal bodies first, before those holy Christians who are alive in Christ are translated. However, those holy Christians who will be alive at the time  of rapture will have to undertake the privilege and honour of undergoing a significant change that is actually similar to dying and resurrecting. This is because they will have to be changed from this mortal realm to the immortal, imperishable realm of the lord. In that way, they will have to be transformed from their mortal bodies into the immortal bodies of heaven. It must be said here that this change is so mysterious that no man can fathom in this lifetime. This mortal body will have to undergo a significant conversion into the immortal which the current flesh and blood is not in any way capable of undertaking. 51 listen, i tell you a mystery: we will not all sleep, but we will all be changed— (1 cor 15:51). Thus, all those that will be taken up at rapture will essentially then meet the lord in the sky in the clouds in order that he may congratulate them for a job well done. Most likely, this is when the rewarding ceremony according to what they have done, shall take place. The raptured saints will then receive their crowns of glory in a ceremony that will be the bliss of all those raptured as they meet the lord face to face. And when the bible says that we will be together with them, the lord practically refers to uniting of the resurrect dead and the resurrected living Christians in order to form one body of god's rapture elect.

IN THE CLOUDS

On the day of rapture, the god of heaven will confer upon the holy saints the same honour as was conferred on our lord Jesus.  Just as he was taken up in the clouds at his ascension, so shall the raptured saints be taken up in the cloud at their ascension.
9 after he said this, he was taken up before their very eyes, and a cloud hid him from their sight (acts 1:9). It is indeed incredible and absolutely amazing that this is the same cloud with which the lord shall return into Jerusalem after the rapture, as we draw nearer to the close of time. 7 “look, he is coming with the clouds,” and “every eye will see him, even those who pierced him”; and all peoples on earth “will mourn because of him.” So shall it be! Amen (rev 1:7). These clouds indeed belong to the lord together with the triumphal chariots that they behold at his advent 3 and lays the beams of his upper chambers on their waters. He makes the clouds his chariot and rides on the wings of the wind. (psalm 104:3).

MEETING THE LORD IN THE AIR

When the scripture says that we will meet the lord in the air, it essentially means that all the raptured saints will be caught up in the region just above the earth, and that is the place where the meeting between the lord and the saints will take place. In Matthew 25:1, we definitively see that the holy saints who are designated by the wise virgins do go out to meet the bridegroom. This is the holy church that has the anointing of the holy spirit symbolized by a jar of oil that they may walk. But most important in their walk is that they go out to meet the bridegroom. 25 “at that time the kingdom of heaven will be like ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom (matt 25:1). In this way the lord is saying that the saints will be ascending while the lord will be descending, so that they may meet in the air above the earth. The
saints will be essentially ascending towards heaven while the lord descends towards the earth until they meet in the air above here. 6 “at midnight the cry rang out: ‘here’s the bridegroom! Come out to meet him!’ (matt 25:6). Moreover, when the lord said, 'and so shall we be with the lord forever.' it became yet another indication that upon the rapture there will be no more parting between the saints and the lord. Considering that the wise virgins went out to meet the lord, then this essentially implies that there will be no more going out. 12 him that overcometh will i make a pillar in the temple of my god, and he shall go no more out: and i will write upon him the name of my god, and the name of the city of my god, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my god: and i will write upon him my new name. (rev 3:12). The most important issue being that at this point, the dead in Christ shall be on equal advantage point with those whom the messiah finds alive and holy. And therefore, based on this may 17th 2004 vision of the rapture of the saints, we can vividly see that it was indeed a very profound conversation with the bride of Christ. And there shall be the loud command of god, followed by the voice of the archangel, and then the mighty trumpet blast of god. After which the lord himself shall come down from heaven as the holy and righteous elect ascend towards heaven, and they shall meet in the clouds up in the air above the earth, and the lord and the raptured saints shall be forever together in the glorious kingdom of god. Amen. ■
