The River Is Here

Ezekiel 47:1-5 TLB

Then he brought me back to the door of the Temple. I saw a stream flowing eastward from beneath the Temple and passing to the right of the altar, that is, on its south side. [2] Then he brought me outside the wall through the north passageway and around to the eastern entrance, where I saw the stream flowing along on the south side of the eastern passageway. [3] Measuring as he went, he took me 1,500 feet east along the stream and told me to go across. At that point the water was up to my ankles. [4] He measured off another 1,500 feet and told me to cross again. This time the water was up to my knees. [5] Fifteen hundred feet after that it was up to my waist. Another 1,500 feet and it had become a river so deep I wouldn't be able to get across unless I were to swim. It was too deep to cross on foot.

Now let's look at verses 8-9 KJV...

Then said he unto me, These waters issue out toward the east country, and go down into the desert, and go into the sea: which being brought forth into the sea, the waters shall be healed. [9] And it shall come to pass, that every thing that liveth, which moveth, whithersoever the rivers shall come, shall live: and there shall be a very great multitude of fish, because these waters shall come thither: for they shall be healed; and every thing shall live whither the river cometh.

Sometimes people will ask, where are we at on the prophetic time table? And then you will hear people ask, can we see America in Bible prophecy?

And I thought about this, that is a good question. Some have said that they cannot find America in Bible prophecy as relates to Gods dealings with her, and her standing in these closing hours of time, before the coming of the Lord.

Wow, that is something to consider. So I asked the Lord... What about that Lord, is America in Bible prophecy, or does she somehow just fall apart as a nation, and lose credibility as a nation? To tell the truth that is not an unreasonable assumption. When you look at the state of our country right now, America is a laughing stock on the world stage. We have lost all credibility in the eyes of world leaders.

To tell you the truth, it was a little bit unsetteling to think about the possibility that we could no longer exist as a nation. So I asked the Lord about it...

Lord, is America not in Bible prophecy? And he said yes, America is in Bible prophecy.

So I said Lord, can you show me where America is in Bible prophecy? He said yes, turn to Acts Chapter 2:17-21

Acts 2:17-21 And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams: [18] And on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy: [19] And I will shew wonders in heaven above, and signs in the earth beneath; blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke: [20] The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before that great and notable day of the Lord come: [21] And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.

I said Lord, what are you talking about? I'm looking for America. The Lord said that's your problem, you're just looking for the working of my Spirit with one nation. But the prophecy is... I will pour out my Spirit on all flesh.

That's American flesh, Chinese flesh, African flesh, Indian flesh, Mexican flesh, and every other flesh. The Baptist flesh, Methodist flesh, and the Pentecostal flesh.

Then he said, your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams. And on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy.

But Lord, I'm talking about America in Bible prophecy, that's when the Lord said to me, you asked about America in the last days in Bible prophecy, right here she is. In the last days my Spirit is not dealing only with individual nations as has happened in the past...This last day visitation is global. It will touch every nation of the earth. And just as you can find America in this prophecy, you can also find India, and Pakistan, and France, and Germany, and Russia. Because the last day outpouring is not about a city, a state, or even a nation, it is global.
