Corrie Ten Boom: Beware of False Teaching of Pre-Tribulation Rapture


During World War 2 Corrie Ten Boom and her family were arrested by the Germans for the crime of helping Jewish people hide. She was sent to a concentration camp and endured great hardships, but she survived.

In 1974 Corrie Ten Boom wrote the letter shown below to warn Christians about the false teaching of the pre-tribulation rapture. This teaching is very popular in America, even though there is no scriptural basis for it. Many believers have bought into it because they have heard it taught by their pastor or by other Christian leaders, but we must study the scriptures for ourselves.

God has promised to deliver His people from the wrath of God, which will be poured out near the end of the seven-year tribulation period. However, there is a big difference between the persecution of Christians and the wrath of God. God never promised us that we would be protected from persecution. In fact, He promised us we would be persecuted just as Jesus was also persecuted.

The pre-tribulation rapture is a dangerous teaching because it will cause believers to be confused and even abandon their faith when they see tremendous persecution coming upon them during the tribulation. Many will fall away at that time, which is also foretold in the Bible. It is called the apostasy. I am posting Corrie Ten Boom’s letter to help warn people while there is still time.

CORRIE TEN BOOM’S LETTER OF RAPTURE WARNING:

The world is deathly ill. It is dying. The Great Physician has already signed the death certificate. Yet there is still a great work for Christians to do. They are to be streams of living water, channels of mercy to those who are still in the world. It is possible for them to do this because they are overcomers.

Christians are ambassadors for Christ. They are representatives from Heaven to this dying world. And because of our presence here, things will change.

My sister, Betsy, and I were in the Nazi concentration camp at Ravensbruck because we committed the crime of loving Jews. Seven hundred of us from Holland, France, Russia, Poland and Belgium were herded into a room built for two hundred. As far as I knew, Betsy and I were the only two representatives of Heaven in that room.

We may have been the Lord’s only representatives in that place of hatred, yet because of our presence there, things changed. Jesus said, “In the world you shall have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world” (John 16:33) We too, are to be overcomers – bringing the light of Jesus into a world filled with darkness and hate.

Sometimes I get frightened as I read the Bible, and as I look in this world and see all of the tribulation and persecution promised by the Bible coming true. Now I can tell you, though, if you too are afraid, that I have just read the last pages. I can now come to shouting “Hallelujah! Hallelujah!” for I have found where it is written that Jesus said,

“He that overcomes shall inherit all things: and I will be His God, and he shall be My son.” (Revelation 21:7)

This is the future and hope of this world. Not that the world will survive – but that we shall be overcomers in the midst of a dying world.

Betsy and I, in the concentration camp, prayed that God would heal Betsy who was so weak and sick.

“Yes, the Lord will heal me,” Betsy said with confidence.

She died the next day and I could not understand it. They laid her thin body on the concrete floor along with all the other corpses of the women who died that day.

It was hard for me to understand, to believe that God had a purpose for all that. Yet because of Betsy’s death, today I am traveling all over the world telling people about Jesus.

There are some among us teaching there will be no tribulation, that the Christians will be able to escape all this. These are the false teachers that Jesus was warning us to expect in the latter days. Most of them have little knowledge of what is already going on across the world. I have been in countries where the saints are already suffering terrible persecution.

In China, the Christians were told, “Don’t worry, before the tribulation comes you will be translated – raptured.” Then came a terrible persecution. Millions of Christians were tortured to death. Later I heard a Bishop from China say, sadly,

“We have failed. We should have made the people strong for persecution, rather than telling them Jesus would come first. Tell the people how to be strong in times of persecution, how to stand when the tribulation comes, to stand and not faint.”

I feel I have a divine mandate to go and tell the people of this world that it is possible to be strong in the Lord Jesus Christ. We are in training for the tribulation, but more than sixty percent of the Body of Christ across the world has already entered into the tribulation. There is no way to escape it. We are next.

Since I have already gone through prison for Jesus’ sake, and since I met the Bishop in China, now every time I read a good Bible text I think, “Hey, I can use that in the time of tribulation.” Then I write it down and learn it by heart.

When I was in the concentration camp, a camp where only twenty percent of the women came out alive, we tried to cheer each other up by saying, “Nothing could be any worse than today.” But we would find the next day was even worse. During this time a Bible verse that I had committed to memory gave me great hope and joy.

If you are reviled for the name of Christ, you are blessed, because the Spirit of glory and of God rests on you. Make sure that none of you suffers as a murderer, or thief, or evildoer, or a troublesome meddler; but if anyone suffers as a Christian, he is not to be ashamed, but is to glorify God in this name. (1 Peter 4:14-15)

I found myself saying, “Hallelujah! Because I am suffering (for the name of Christ), Jesus is glorified!”

In America, the churches sing, “Let the congregation escape tribulation”, but in China and Africa the tribulation has already arrived. This last year alone more than two hundred thousand Christians were martyred in Africa. Now things like that never get into the newspapers because they cause bad political relations. But I know. I have been there. We need to think about that when we sit down in our nice houses with our nice clothes to eat our steak dinners. Many, many members of the Body of Christ are being tortured to death at this very moment, yet we continue right on as though we are all going to escape the tribulation.

Several years ago I was in Africa in a nation where a new government had come into power. The first night I was there some of the Christians were commanded to come to the police station to register. When they arrived they were arrested and that same night they were executed. The next day the same thing happened with other Christians. The third day it was the same. All the Christians in the district were being systematically murdered.

The fourth day I was to speak in a little church. The people came, but they were filled with fear and tension. All during the service they were looking at each other, their eyes asking, “Will this one I am sitting beside be the next one killed? Will I be the next one?”

The room was hot and stuffy with insects that came through the screenless windows and swirled around the naked bulbs over the bare wooden benches. I told them a story out of my childhood.

“When I was a little girl, I went to my father and said, “Daddy, I am afraid that I will never be strong enough to be a martyr for Jesus Christ.”

“Tell me,” said Father, “When you take a train trip to Amsterdam, when do I give you the money for the ticket? Three weeks before?”

“No, Daddy, you give me the money for the ticket just before we get on the train.”

“That is right,” my father said, “and so it is with God’s strength. Our Father in Heaven knows when you will need the strength to be a martyr for Jesus Christ. He will supply all you need, just in time.”

My African friends were nodding and smiling. Suddenly a spirit of joy descended upon that church and the people began singing, “In the sweet, by and by, we shall meet on that beautiful shore.”

Later that week, half the congregation of that church was executed. I heard later that the other half was killed some months ago.

But I must tell you something. I was so happy that the Lord used me to encourage these people, for unlike many of their leaders, I had the word of God. I had been to the Bible and discovered that Jesus said He had not only overcome the world, but to all those who remained faithful to the end, He would give a crown of life.

How can we get ready for the persecution?

First we need to feed on the Word of God, digest it, and make it a part of our being. This will mean disciplined Bible study each day as we not only memorize long passages of scripture, but put the principles to work in our lives.

Next we need to develop a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. Not just the Jesus of yesterday, the Jesus of History, but the life-changing Jesus of today who is still alive and sitting at the right hand of God.

We must be filled with the Holy Spirit. This is not an optional command of the Bible, it is absolutely necessary. Those earthly disciples could never have stood up under the persecution of the Jews and Romans had they not waited for Pentecost. Each of us needs our own personal Pentecost, the baptism of the Holy Spirit. We will never be able to stand in the tribulation without it.

In the coming persecution we must be ready to help each other and encourage each other. But we must not wait until the tribulation comes before starting. The fruit of the Spirit should be the dominant force of every Christian’s life.

When I am weak, then I shall be strong, the Bible says. Betsy and I were prisoners for the Lord, we were so weak, but we got power because the Holy Spirit was on us. That mighty inner strengthening of the Holy Spirit helped us through. No, you will not be strong in yourself when the tribulation comes. Rather, you will be strong in the power of Him who will not forsake you. For seventy-six years I have known the Lord Jesus and not once has He ever left me, or let me down.

Though He slay me, I will hope in Him. (Job 13:15)

I know that to all who overcome, He shall give the crown of life. Hallelujah!

– Corrie Ten Boom – 1974

Twelfth Edition

In Edition Eleven, I said I would share the survival plan the Lord gave me that day in Colorado, and I will do it in this edition but let me put in this caveat; this is not for everyone, and it is not a test of faith.

As I sat on the mountain, I also witnessed a plan for survival for me and my family. It was frightening as well as exciting to watch the future pass before me as I sat quietly by and marveled as the entire side of the mountain became a big screen entertainment center.

I saw hoards of terrorists and foreign agents stream across the Southern border, and I watched them help government officials incite riots and unrest in our major cities. I saw our cities erupt in fire and the populace running through the streets pillaging and burning one city block after another. At this time, God spoke to me and said, “The next major war America will fight will not be with another country but in the streets of its cities, towns and villages. It will be a war between the Haves and the Have Nots.” Here is when I actually saw foreign UN troops firing on Americans trying to turn the tide of human flesh fighting, screaming out of control and being pushed like a battering ram through our streets.

I saw our banks being looted and financial institutions overrun until the multitudes realized that the currency no longer had any value; then their panic turned to fear. If our currency had no value what would they use for currency? It was during this turmoil that our electrical grids were destroyed by our enemies and food in stores and homes began to spoil. With no power, the peace officers refused to expose themselves to danger, instead they were staying home protecting their families and foraging for food and medicine. The hospitals were shut down when their generators ran out of diesel and there was no medicine or food for the patients.

Now the truth was hitting home that just as the prophets had said: America was brought to her knees and was paying the price for killing 60 million babies, electing politicians who turned us away from God and allowed perverseness to abound. I cried out, “God what about the Remnant Seed?” This is when He began to open another vision for me to see. This time I saw me preparing a place to take my family where I could protect them, gather food and maintain it and also grow a sustainable food and water source until such a time as He started the Last Day Revival.

I’m a little reluctant to share everything He instructed me to do simply because in the last few years so many people have jumped on board the “Prepper Syndrome,” and I do not want this to look like copycat revelation. For those who will accept this at face value, I will share some of what I’m doing.

As I watched our country fall apart from the top down, I started looking for property that could be maintained off grid, outside city limits, capable of growing crops, with live water and anonymity – the anonymity as its greatest attribute. I have found vendors who provide underground facilities, faraday cages, hydro-generators, protection instruments and self defensive instruction. If you have noticed, several television personalities and ministries are offering sustainable food packages. Five of the nations largest grocery stores are now offering tubs and barrels of sustainable food and self purification water filters. (Let me digress: those of you who have sat under my ministry will remember that thirty years ago I prophesied that when the last days began that water would be more expensive than gas.)

Is everyone supposed to run to the country side, start hoarding food and dig a bunker? Well, now be sensible. That makes as much sense as running to a safe room when the tornado sirens go off, doesn’t it? I compare the warning that God is giving the Church through the prophets as important as the warning the United States gave the Jews in 1938 when they were told to get out of Europe. Unfortunately, many church leaders today are taking the same stance the Jewish community took when they said, “We own the banks, the factories and the markets. Nothing can happen to us so please don’t spread this fairytale among the workers; you will panic them and paralyze them with fear. If the workers flee the country who will run our factories; who will plow our fields; and who will teach our children?” Well, six million dead Jews later, I’m sure if they had it to do over again they would make a different decision! I have not, nor will I force this revelation on anyone nor will I make it a test of faith. I can only attest to what God gave me, and now there is an entire army of people from all walks of life who are seeing the warning signs thirty years after God visited me on the mountain in Colorado.

I would like to share a scripture reference that I have used many times since the open vision came to me. There were ten virgins who were waiting to light the way of the Bridegroom at his coming. While they waited, they all slept, but when the Bridegroom came they shook themselves awake only to find five had run out of oil and their lamps were empty. With empty lamps they could not join the wedding party so they begged for oil from the wise virgins who had purchased extra just in case the Bridegroom was delayed. The wise had a fiduciary responsibility to the Bridegroom to light the way for his coming, and they had none to share if they were to do their job. No doubt there will be a Remnant Seed alive and ready to participate in the Last Day Revival. The question is: will that be you or someone else? Regardless of how others see it, I know what God gave me thirty years ago, and I will be ready even if, like Noah I’m the only one on my block with an Ark!

Eleventh Edition

I would like to thank all the people who have responded to my blog and especially those we have pastored over the years, who remember the prophecies the Lord has given me and how they connect to current events. What I am sharing with you in this blog is not meant to strike fear in your hearts but rather to remind that He will allow nothing to come upon you for which He has not first made a way of escape. I have been bombarded with requests to stop being ambiguous and spell out in detail what I saw on the mountain that day. For those of you who have a weak heart or the inability to accept spiritual truths, don’t read any further. I give you my word that everything I have written is derived from the vision God gave me, and there are witnesses who will confirm that I have been preaching this for 38 years.

When God gave me the open vision in Colorado, He also gave me some markers to look for so I could understand the prophetic timeline and not be taken unaware.

  1. Marker one would be an economic collapse world wide and a dismantling of the Ecumenical Order “World Wide Government and Currency” marking the end of unilateral agreements, like the European Union and other continental agreements around the world.
  2. Marker two is the friction between the Haves and the Have-nots that would start with demonstrations, marching and aggression in the streets.
  3. Marker three would be riots and race wars in the streets, resulting in looting of groceries stores, drug stores in the downtown areas, eventually moving into the suburbs. The underlying fact here is the revelation that after they deplete the food and drugs from the stores, there will be no one coming to replenish the shelves. When we see this, it will be official that we have entered into a Civil War spurred on by news pundits and racial instigators, who feel driven to destroy America as we know it today and use their “Bully Pulpit” to incite a revolution of destruction and mayhem.  
  4. Marker four would be the failure of our government to issue and honor entitlement checks and medical aid in the form of Medicare/Medicaid. 
  5. Marker five: By the time it gets to this stage, all of the first responders we have learned to depend on will have deserted their post in order to protect and provide for their own families. Our country will be without form of structure, and we will become a lawless barren war zone. When this happens, it is inevitable that the government will have to call in U.N. troops to try and maintain a semblance of control and will give the U.N. authority to patrol our cities (because U.S. troops will not fire on their own neighbors) in an effort to keep the “Rule of Law” and salvage what is left of our culture.
  6. Marker six: In the latter part of the vision, I saw our country being overrun from our southern borders because there were no Border Patrol agents left to control the flow of immigrants, and hostile aliens were flooding into the United States. Then God allowed me to see hostilities and carnage being waged against our country by terrorist and extremists.

I will develop these makers in detail in next edition.

I will stop here for now, and in Edition Twelve, I will insert the plan of survival God gave me immediately after the vision. Without a doubt, He instructed me to began putting a place together where I could take my family and those He would send so we would be intact for the Last Day Outpouring of His spirit.

I know there have been groups across our nation that have gone to extreme measures and done outrageous things in the name of God and screamed loudly that they were the only Bride of Christ. This has resulted in their demise, and rightfully so. Anytime anyone has moved beyond the boundaries set by the Word of God, they are false prophets and heretics and should be marked as such. I can only say that everything I have said is founded in the Word of God and does not cross one of the prophecies left for the Church in the Last Days.

In Edition Twelve I will be addressing:

  1. The breakup of the E.U.
  2. The U.N. code word “Civil Strike”
  3. The beginning of World War Three
  4. How the Government has plotted to take church pulpits through the 501C3 filings

Tenth Edition

As I said in Edition Nine, prophets hold a unique position in the Kingdom of God. It seems one day they are in the king’s palace wearing expensive golden jewelry, the finest raiment, sitting next to a king and eating from the finest china. The next, they are in a cave, communicating with bats, fearing for their life and desperately searching for their next meal. Why the dichotomy? As you look into the life of a prophet, you find it is not the prophet who changes but rather the task that God gives him that creates the conflict.

As I stated in Edition Nine, those called to the Office of a Prophet are required to lead the Children of God in everything from their spiritual well being, providing their livelihood to literally protecting the Remnant Seed (the individuals who will initiate the Last Day Revival prior to the return of Christ). As a true prophet, you are not allowed the luxury of being wrong on the occasion when you don’t feel like pressing through the carnal barriers that separate our old human flesh from the “Spiritual Man of the Hour” that God needs to rise like the proverbial Phoenix and speak to His people. When a prophet speaks, he is literally voicing ‘Thus saith the Lord” from the mouth of God to the ears of humanity. He cannot afford to miss it. The major draw back to this is that, by definition, it is “PROPHECY,” which means it has not happened yet. Only time will tell if you are a true prophet or a false prophet, and this is when things get dicey.

To God, a day can be as a thousand years and time is not relevant, so when God shows a prophet something, the prophet has to determine WHEN to share it with the church and HOW to share something so it will be accepted as being from God. On occasion, it can be as simple as a prophet hearing something from God and just repeating it word for word back to the congregation. Sometimes the prophet has to explain what he has seen or heard to the congregation in great detail so nothing is lost in interpretation. A prophet may have a dream, or experience a visitation from an angelic entity, or he can have an open vision. An open vision is when the prophet is in a completely cognizant state, and God has him live through an experience that He uses at a later date to show the prophet what he must say and when he must speak out in order to lead the body of Christ into the next level of obedience.

For instance, thirty eight years ago I was in Colorado elk hunting, and I was led to separate myself from the other hunters and setup a day camp in a mountain saddle where I could scope the mountain for a migrant group of elk. As I sat on a large rock looking through my scope and warming myself in the fresh morning sun, I was astonished to see a large convoy of soldiers marching through this wilderness area. In this area, the Government would not even allow us to have a chain saw, so I was speechless when I saw men and equipment covering the entire mountain side below me. As I watched, God spoke to me and instructed me to look at their faces. Upon closer examination, I saw they represented several nationalities, and then God told me to look at the epaulets on their uniforms. I was shocked when I saw they were U.N. soldiers and the epaulets were the flags of their home countries. It was then that God spoke to me in an audible voice and said, “These soldiers have been brought to America and trained in our facilities about crowd control because the day will come when the entitlement checks from the government will not clear and there will be riots in the streets. America will go to war, but it will not be a war on foreign soil, it will be a civil war between the ‘Haves and the Have Nots’.” U.N. soldiers will be called in to maintain order in the cities because American troops will not fire on their families. In the midst of this chaos, the powers that have been set in motion to destroy America will overthrow our Government; our economy will fail; our currency will be deemed worthless, and waves of roaming gangs (the Have Nots) will loot and steal food, weapons and medicine from the homes and businesses in the cities and in the suburbs (the Haves).

This is when God told me to acquire a large amount of land and build a place where I could protect my family members and other believers He would send to me. This place must not only be able to protect us from the roaming gangs of desperate people and the pseudo government that would be put in place by a One World order, but it must also be able to provide all the food and spiritual security that will be needed.
Herein is the conflict with church leadership today. I have been chastised by pastors who did not want this taught from their pulpits stating they didn’t want their people frightened by this type of End Time Prophecy. I’m sure this is how Ezekiel, Isaiah, Moses and other Old and New Testament Prophets felt when they were asked by God to give unpopular messages to the Children of Israel. I think the ‘Elephant in The Room’ is, if I understand the description of the Five Fold Ministry, that they are gifts from God to His people and that the pulpits belong to Him and are to be ministered to by the entire Five Fold Ministry. Withholding the End Time Prophecy because it might frighten or confuse someone makes as much sense as asking a doctor to break his fiduciary responsibility to his patients and withhold a diagnoses of cancer or coronary distress for fear of upsetting them. To do this only allows the disease to go untreated and ravage the body unchecked. To not speak out when God has given a prophet a word for the body of Christ is like asking the sun not to shine or a volcano not to erupt when God shakes its foundation. The problem is not that prophets are scaring the church; the problem is that God has chosen to do nothing unless first He tells his prophets and sadly, in many cases, leadership has not allowed the prophets to speak in “Their Pulpits.”

This is the case where the blind lead the blind, and they both fall in the ditch. Without a prophet to speak through, God recognized that the Church would wander aimlessly around without direction and into certain deception. I find it discomforting that some leadership today feel that they must protect the vocal pulpit from prophets in the last day, lest the prophets deliver a message from God that would fulfill Matthew 24 and cause disruption of the Pre-Tribulation Doctrine.
In the next edition we, will discuss why God has chosen to tell every true prophet involved in the last day preparation the very same thing about saving the remnant seed.

Be Blessed

Ninth Edition 

In the last eight editions, we have talked about the Five Fold Ministry and its place in the church. Why is it that the office of a Prophet is not honored in every church setting today? Well, some things never change!

One reason the Office of a Prophet is not honored is partially because most churches are not taught the difference between The Gift of Prophecy and the Office of a Prophet. When someone has the Gift of Prophecy, he is used to speak a word of prophecy once in a while, and sometimes only once in his life; whereas someone that fills the Office of a Prophet operates in that function 24 hours a day. It never turns off, and it never leaves; so whether he is in a crowd, in a church service or alone he is still operating in his gift. Because of this, prophets are never allowed to be “normal” as compared to what others might call normal. How would you like to be able to “look” into a person’s life and see all the details that they think are hidden away in secret places?

One day, I had a call from a young prophet who asked me to join him for lunch and discuss what was going on in his life. As we sat in the restaurant, he poured out his frustration to me about not being able to enjoy even the simplest things because he saw all the elements in the lives of those around him. For instance, he looked across the room and picked out a couple sitting by the window and began to tell me he “saw” that the couple were not married to each other and were cheating on their spouses, and of course, he was right. As we sat there and ate, he verbally went around the room exposing the conditions of all the people eating there. I listened while the young prophet poured out his heart and frustrations about the downside of being born into the Office of a Prophet. I had to explain that, just like being able to see in the natural does not give you the right to be a “Peeping Tom,” being in the Spirit does give you the right to randomly look into people’s lives. You have to control the gifts that come with the Office of a Prophet and learn how to use them in the desired order of God’s will.

Have you ever noticed that in the Bible a prophet was either sitting in the palace beside the king or hiding in a cave fearing for their life? Do you know why? Because a person in the Office of a Prophet can always see and knows what the truth really is…whether you want it to be known or not. Just because a prophet is silent doesn’t mean he doesn’t see. I have been asked several times by pastors about spirits that were trying to take over their church or people who did not have the pastor’s best interest at heart. Many times after asking, they didn’t want to hear the truth because of emotional attachments or when faced with the truth, they couldn’t see it. This has always been the conflict between leadership and prophets. Very few people really want to hear the truth about the future if it is uncomfortable for them, so when the prophet speaks, it is not always accepted.

You might ask yourself: why wouldn’t everyone want to know the future or know the truth about the people around them, especially those in leadership? The truth is, when you have knowledge about events to come or see short falls about a person in leadership, it requires them to take action and therein lies the problem. Watching some of our leadership today react to prophetic words reminds me of a teenager plugging his ears and singing, “La La La” as loud as he can when someone is saying something he doesn’t want to hear. Whether the church leaders today like it or not, God said, “I will do nothing until first I tell my Prophets.” God placed the Office of a Prophet in the church to direct and lead His people and customs – politics or opinions cannot change that.

I will be discussing this subject in detail in the next several editions, so to those of you who want the truth about the future of America, the Church and what God expects of us as a people, please follow closely and pray for me as I open for the first time what God has been showing me and other prophets in the Kingdom.

Edition Eight

In Edition Seven, we talked about the five fold ministry and its place in the church. Everyone today wants to hear a Word of Prophecy about the days ahead and how the church is going to survive. In order to explain what God has given prophets around the world, I feel I must explain why a prophet is the only office that can speak with authority on prophecy and should be the final word to the Church today.

Unfortunately, it seems that too few members of Generation X understand the importance of this lost leadership group and its role in the preservation of the church body. Over centuries history has proven that any army is subject to failure without leadership, and this is so true with the Church. I find it strange that the leadership in the church world today is so easily offended when you talk about the Five Fold Ministry. They immediately start debating whether the apostle is greater than the pastor and whether the teacher is greater than the evangelist.

In the military, the only debate about authority is not between privates and generals. They know their place and accept it. In real life, it’s the politicians and individuals that hold self-appointed offices that argue over whether they are getting any authority recognition, and if so, how much greater will they be over others.
If an army argued over leadership authority like the Church, they would be defeated before they ever took the field. Coming from a military family I learned at an early age that you never argued with the officer over you and that there was a chain of command. The Church today no longer respects the scriptures about “obeying those that have the rule over you and allowing the man with the higher ring to have the seat of honor.” To preserve the last day Remnant Seed, the God-appointed Five Fold Ministry must be in full force.

God called offices:

  • Apostles: Those who establish doctrine and governed the church leaders.
  • Prophets: The voice of God about things yet to come.
  • Pastors: The keepers of the church.
  • Evangelist: Revivalist and itinerant ministries.
  • Teachers: Teachers of scriptures and rightly dividing the Word of Truth in the body of Christ.

Man appointed offices:

  • Bishops: Men of wisdom, Church leadership and peace makers.
  • Elders: Those who assist in taking care of the church and less fortunate members.

Because there is a lack of understanding between the God-called offices and the man-appointed offices, there seems to be a drought of true prophecy in the Church today. Many times any “vocal outbreak” in a spiritual gathering, whether it is the Word of Wisdom, a Word of Knowledge or an interpretation of a Word of Tongues, is declared a “Word of Prophecy” and the person who delivered it is declared a “Prophet”. Some would say there is no fault in that, but actually it is just the opposite. Taking the stand that any word spoken under the anointing is prophecy is ludicrous and is totally contrary to Scripture.

I think some misunderstanding is fostered by fear. There are some individuals that feel they could lose their place of authority in the Body of Christ when, in fact, the Five Fold Ministry only solidifies their God-called office in God’s divine plan. For example, when a neurosurgeon has a tooth ache, without hesitation he goes to a dentist, and when a dentist has a brain tumor he, without hesitation, goes to a neurosurgeon.

Why is it in the Church world that pastors, apostles or others think they don’t need prophets and that anyone can prophecy? God so stated in His Word that in the last days He would do nothing until first He told His prophets. He also said, “To touch not His anointed and do His prophets no harm.”

If you are going to follow us into the prophecy of the last days and the understanding as to who the Remnant Seed really is and their place in the body of Christ in the last days, you will have to accept that prophets are God’s chosen way to lead His people into the future and that His word out of their mouth is final.

As we move forward I will show you scriptural instruction on how you separate the false prophet from the true prophet, so get ready for the ride of your life.

Seventh Edition 

I am always getting asked the question, “What is the Remnant Seed,” and it always startles me when I find old or new Christians who have never heard of the Remnant Seed. Being raised in a family that was immersed in the prophetic, I made the most frequent of mistakes. I thought every Christian understood the Five Fold Ministry and its responsibility of preserving and perfecting the body of Christ. The Five Fold Ministry consists of the offices of Apostles, Prophets, Pastors, Evangelists and Teachers.

Ephesians 4:11

And he gave some, apostles; and some prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers:

It is clear in the Scripture that God will never do anything with mankind until first He tells his prophets. Over the years I have been asked by pastors and elders why God chose the prophets to announce his intentions to the church and not Apostles or Pastors. In some circles, this has been the cause of trouble between some Pastors and Prophets and has even driven some church leaders to say that any anointed sermons were prophecy for fear the congregations would prefer one ministry office over another. In order to control their pulpits, there is a revival of self appointed offices sweeping the church world. In an effort to silence prophets today, everyone wants to be a “Bishop” over someone, something or a group of their peers. I see so many of these newly appointed Bishops pressing for recognition in our fellowship and yet some of them don’t even know the qualifications or duties of a Bishop. It makes me sad.

1 Tim. 3:1-7

This is a true saying, if a man desires the office of a bishop he desires a good work….He must be blameless..husband of one wife..sober..vigilant..of good behavior..given to hospitality apt to teach..not a brawler..rule his own house..not a novice.. good report.

“There are things today that you DON’T want to hear! Hey, there are things that I don’t want to hear. But the Bible says, ‘You will know the truth and the truth will set you free!’ So really, I want to hear the truth…How about you!……….”(Quote from Pastor/Prophet Rick Bowen)

A few weeks ago I was told by one of these Bishops that the church doesn’t need prophecy today. Instead, I was told it only needs revival because prophecy frightens people, and I was basically encouraged not to talk about anything concerning the “last days” because that might scare the church. That makes about as much sense as saying we only need cooking shows on tv; and whatever you do, don’t watch the weather report because it depicts that tornados are in the area, and you might not be able to sleep well tonight if you see all the red and green shaded areas on the Doppler radar map. God forbid if we mention having a safe room in your home for storms such as these. If you live in Miami, no one thinks you’re a fanatic if you have a hurricane room with two weeks of supplies. If you live in the mid-west, no one thinks you’re weird if you have a tornado SAFE ROOM under the stairs. In California, they take time at public schools to teach earthquake safety and they call it a public safety service. 

However, if you sound a prophetic warning in the church world today, you may be called a radical. Of course Elijah was often called far worse, and was often accused of stirring the masses into a frenzied mob. As you look into the eye of the storm, you will understand why God said, “I will do nothing unless I first tell my prophets.” Prophets are the voice of God in the last days. Are they the only voice of God? Of course not… just the Prophetic voice of God. If they fail to speak what He gives them, they are a failure. If the people won’t hear, they are rebellious and if they push the prophetic aside, they fall under the judgement of God.

Psalm 105:15

Touch not my anointed an do my prophets no harm.

The Remnant Seed is God’s plan for the end of time and the last day revival. In the Eighth Edition, I will lay out who will be in this plan and how God protects them until the last outpouring of His spirit.   

Sixth Edition 

During my encounter with the Arab arms dealer, I was reminded of the “open vision” I had experienced in Colorado and the “Civil War” I had witnessed taking place in our cities and streets. Hopefully you will remember that in the vision I had seen riots, racial conflict and mayhem in our cities and total anarchy.
The arms dealer had emphasized that the Islamic forces couldn’t march through our streets nor did they have the military forces to overthrow our government, but they did have a plot to destroy us from within. Through the years, I have often wondered how the wanton destruction and total collapse of our country could happen so quickly and why would a force come against America with such anger and disrespect for life. Why would they want to destroy our way of life and prosperity? Of course after the vivid conversation with my new Arab acquaintance in the Sudan desert it was so very clear. Their Jihad against the West is a war against Christianity and America because we are Israel’s greatest ally. As stated, this can only happen from within and what greater seat of power to operate from than the White House. The arms dealer made it very clear that OPEC had placed Barrack (Barry) Obama in the American education system and financially and politically paved his path to Washington D.C. He was then armed with the power to destroy our military, disenfranchise our medical system, depreciate our currency and endanger our executive system by placing handpicked individuals in some of the highest courts and positions in our country. With marching orders to destroy everything that has made America great, an almost invisible oligarchy have worked hard to tear the heart out of our generation and have created an environment in our educational community that makes being a “True Patriot” an embarrassment. I have watched in shame while professional athletes, playing on the largest platforms in the world, refused to respect our flag, and Hollywood personalities openly blasphemed our warriors and their sacrifices to keep them free.

How does this fit into my vision? Simple, radical Islam has waged war against America, Israel and Christianity from the streets of our cities and the Oval Office. How did Isis come to power so quickly, and how did it get funded and armed overnight? If you will look closely, you will see a lot of the arms and vehicles used by these heartless killers were gifted to them by President Obama when he (against all the recommendations of his Joint Chiefs of Staff) pulled our military out of Iraq and left billions of dollars of weaponry in place for the taking by Isis. This being his method of operation, it was of no surprise that he is releasing 100 Billion Dollars of assets to Iran and has created an open door policy for Iran to use those funds to engage China’s best nuclear scientists to supercharge Iran’s weapons program. Last night I watched the Director of Homeland Security beg the American people to wake up to the truth. Border security is not a political issue, it is a life and death situation, and that it is not “if” it is when Isis is going to set off the dirty bombs in our major cities that are being smuggled through our Southern borders. Any one of these devises will make cities like New York, Dallas or Los Angeles a toxic dump site – making them totally uninhabitable for the next three hundred years.

Death from within; how farfetched is that? On Jan 22, 2016 while the East coast reeled from the worst blizzard in history, the Senate tried to pass a new bill setting aside the War Powers Act of 1973, thus giving the President the ability to declare Martial Law and declare war anywhere, anytime, with power to deploy U.S. troops on any soil, including America and its territories, with orders to confiscate all weapons until such time as he declares it safe to return them to their owners.
Also this week, the head of a major company explained why they were compelled to outsource their workforce to neighboring countries instead of building new factories. It is just another symptom of the failure of our leadership to protect us from the calamity ahead. Our electrical grid was constructed over a half a century ago and is so obsolete it cannot furnish enough energy to substantiate enough new factories. It will take 100s of Billions of dollars and over forty years to strengthen our energy grid to offset the rolling blackouts destined for America. When this blackout begins, riots and total chaos will ensue, just as I saw in the Colorado Vision. Unfortunately when this happens, lawlessness will be the norm and we will have to be able to provide for and protect our families.

In Edition Seven, I will talk about the preservation of the Remnant Seed. In the meantime, please pray that God will give me wisdom that I can present this in a way to strengthen your faith in God’s ability to keep us safe during this time, while He reveals his plan for the Last Days.
