Can You Hear The Trumpet?

I know that Israel was brought under God’s judgment shortly after these prophecies of Joel and that they were scattered and defeated because of their great idolatry. The land of Zion was taken from them and, in 70 AD; the Romans leveled the city of Jerusalem and temple. Thus, the dark cloud of despair settled over Israel for nearly 2000 years.

We also understand that, in these last days, Israel has been returned to her homeland, never to be driven out completely again. But, the darkest hour of judgment against Israel for their rejection of the Messiah, Jesus Christ, is yet to come.

In the last days, there will an enemy to come against Israel that will nearly annihilate them. These armies will descend upon Israel much as the locusts of ancient times. They will appear suddenly, with vast numbers so great that they will cover the land. They will come against Israel with an evil plan to utterly destroy God’s chosen people.

If you will read Ezekiel chapters 38 & 39, and compare those with Joel chapters 1 & 2, you will get the full picture of what God’s warning is all about.

In this message, however, I have a trumpet to sound for Sion, the church of God. This trumpet is a sound to battle and a sound of alarm to be sounded throughout, not just Victory Temple, but the entire Body of Christ. I believe that this same trumpet is being sounded in every true Bible believing church and God-called Pastor and Evangelist throughout the world. The trumpet is blowing right now and it has been sounding for a long time. The trumpet is calling you and I to get prepared for battle for the enemy of our soul is coming, as a dark cloud, to devour everything in your life that is good and holy.

This battle is going to be held mostly in the Spiritual Realms but the destructive power, and victories of this battle from either side can easily be seen in the Natural Realms also.

The Church of the Living God is going about the business that God has called us to do. We have been called and ordained by God to reach out to lost souls to teach them of the Salvation through the Blood of the Lamb.

We are called and ordained by God but we are not going to get this job done without some major opposition from the powers of darkness.

The Devil and his demonic powers are like that cloud of locusts as they appear on the horizon and are relentless in their efforts to destroy every work of Sion. Our adversary, Satan, goes about seeking who he may destroy, who he may devour and what he may steal from our lives that will leave us desolate and in despair. That’s his job and he is good at it.

In a natural sense, I am concerned that the enemies of Christianity, especially those of Islam, who make up the terrorist element in the world today, are just beginning to make their power known. It is very evident, from recent events, that their ultimate goal is the absolute destruction of everything that opposes them in their relentless effort to spread their gospel of evil to the entire world. I wonder if we are not seeing the birth of the “cloud of locusts” that will soon invade Israel.
