The Apocalypse of Jesus: An Ever Increasing Presence
A GREAT SHIFT
A great shift is coming. Beginning in Tishrei this year (September of 2023) will begin a seven month transition out of slavery. It will be a time of divine intervention. These seven months are graced with opportunity to prepare for an even greater breakthrough in the month of Nissan. Many people will experience deliverance, even as the Israelites were delivered out of “Egypt” from the hand of Pharaoh. God will reverse curses, overrule wicked agenda, and set His people from spiritual captivity.
We have received supernatural revelation regarding the day we are entering. A series of dreams inspired. us to listen closely to what the Lord is speaking regarding these next seven months and the years to come. Each revelatory experience depicted a unique attribute of the month of Nissan. The attributes of Nissan will be emphasized for seven years and will carry over into the following years.
UNDERSTANDING NISSAN
Many of the secrets of Nissan, have been swallowed up by tradition. We will be able to understand the era we are entering into by learning the characteristics of Nissan.
”Nissan” is technically of Babylonian origin. The actual name for this month is”Aviv” (Abib)— In Hebrew means spring or “greenness.” The Aramaic word Nissan is related to the Hebrew word, nitzan, meaning “bud.” The name Nissan actually comes from the Hebrew word “Nes” which means “miracle.” Jewish scholars believe Nissan literally means “miracle of miracles” or “double miracles.”
It is the “King of Months” and the first month on the Jewish calendar. Exodus 12 says:
“Now the LORD said to Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt, “This month shall be the beginning of months for you; it is to be the first month of the year for you.”
Nissan regularly sets the tone for the rest of the year. The month of Adar is at the end of the year and overflows into Nissan. In many ways, Adar can represent the current season we have been in. During Adar the Lord is present and moving, but His movements are not as obvious. The works of God are not as recognizable. Many mysteries and miracles are still hidden. By divine intervention, we are shifting into a new month, symbolically: The month of Nissan. We are transitioning from a hidden season like Adar into a season represented by the characteristics of Nissan. It will be the era of divine revelation, secrets revealed from the kingdom of God. The miraculous will be more evident. Many secrets previously hidden in Adar will be discovered in Nissan. The Lord’s beloved can expect to see an overflow of the joy of Adar and a breaking forth into new life and miracle working power.
NEW COVENANT
We identify with the month of Nissan. It symbolically represents
covenant, the Lamb, the tribe of Judah and the month of the Door. It is the month of the Passover, the covenant and the death and resurrection of Messiah. Each of the mentioned indentifications of Nissan describe the Messiah, who set free His people by His own spilled blood, having yielded His spirit to the Father. He is the living God who walked the earth in human form, and became the final sacrifice. He is the Lamb slain who delivered His people out of death and into eternal life. The mediator of the New Covenant, His death on the cross is the basis of the promise. Defeating death by resurrection and restoring life for all who believe. (Hebrews 10:11-17)
We have received a glorious gift: The New Covenant. Those who have written Truth upon their hearts will experience new covenant favor in the coming days. The favor of God has been granted us through the death and resurrection of Yeshua. The perfect blood of Yeshua is our redemption. He is redeemer. In these days we will finally render a true thank offering to the Lord for the binding vows He has put upon us.
DELIVERANCE
Nissan is considered to be a month of appointed deliverance and breakthrough. These are displayed through out Biblical history and they express God’s glory and love for humanity. According to Jewish writings it is when Noah’s ark rested atop the mountain. The month the Red Sea parted and the Egyptian armies were killed. It is when God rained Manna from the heavens for the Israelites. Then 40 years later, in Nissan Joshua ate first fruit from the promised land and met the “Captain of the Hosts.” It is when Abraham took his new name. And when Esther declared a three day fast leading to Haman’s execution and deliverance for the Jews.
CHESED
There are several attributes of Nissan expressed in the life of Ruth and Boaz. Many people are familiar with the story of Ruth, how she followed her Mother-n-law Naomi to Bethlehem, eventually meeting and marrying Boaz. Ruth and Boaz foreshadowed the redemption and the covenant accessible through the Messiah, our kinsman-redeemer.
The most noteworthy and widely recognized virtue of their lives is lovingkindness. The Hebrew word for lovingkindness is “chesed.” Chesed is one of the words most commonly used to describe Ruth and is associated with the month of Nissan.
MOED
We are transitioning into a time of supernatural grace and encounter. Foremost, we must recognize the hour we are in and not miss our appointment with Him. Ruth had a pre-ordained appointment with her kinsman-redeemer, which began when she and her mother-n-law arrived in Bethlehem at the start of the harvest.
Ruth 1:21 says:
“Naomi and Ruth arrived in Bethlehem at the beginning of the barley harvest.” Interestingly, the early barley harvest is typically harvested in the month of Nissan.
After their arrival Naomi advised Ruth to prepare for her appointment with Boaz. We, the Lord’s beloved, are preparing for our Bridegroom. We cannot miss the day of our visitation. Understanding the time and season we are entering is imperative. He is preparing us for our divine appointment.
The month of Nissan has a rich history of divine appointments (also called moed) In addition to the earlier mentioned times of appointed deliverance, there are also three major feasts remembered in the month of Nissan: The Feast of Passover, the Feast of Unleavened bread, and the Feast of First fruits. We can expect to see divine appointments in the coming days. These appointments will launch His beloved into the favor of the Lord.
FREEDOM FROM RELIGIOUS BONDAGE
In a series of dreams the Lord revealed many characteristics of the season we are entering. For clarity sake I will not go into too much detail of the dreams. In simple form, here are the revelations:
There will be freedom from the effects and curses of religious abuse especially the abuse that occurred during the religious wars of the 1500’s. I had a dream I was transported back to this era of time. I witnessed the murder of millions of people by the Catholic Church for control, religious rules, idolatry and traditions. It was a wicked move of the devil to kill God’s people and keep them bound in the chains of religious bondage.
I saw the catholic system with tentacles. I noticed the tentacles reached down the timeline as far as 500 years from the 1500s. For generations they have tainted the Lord’s people. Some of those are: The religious spirit, deception, shame, murder, and hatred. I watched these tentacles loose their grip and reverse back to where they came from.
The principality that controls the catholic church will lose its power over the Lord’s people. Though it will appear to rise, it will lose its authority and will ultimately reap what was sown. I see the Lord’s people get a revelation of the blood of Yeshua, which carries the power to reverse curses, including that which causes religious abuse.
BREAKING THE POWER OF DELAY
I saw a timeline with several intervals of time. Each span of time was marked by important events. One time span appeared to be between 1948 and mid 1990’s, and was identified by the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948. The next span of time began in the mid 90’s through to today. I recognized that this interval noted a gap for delay.
It is obvious that we have certainly experienced delay. Notably there have been times of divine interaction over the last 30 years with powerful displays of His love; For His steadfast love never ceases. Still we are longing for the full measure promised to us by Him who is able to do far more abundantly beyond all that we ask or think.
I already described the characteristics from the month of Adar, the last month of the biblical year. According to Jewish custom, there are God happenings during this month; however, they are not as obvious as in the following month, Nissan. Everything hidden in Adar is revealed in Nissan. I feel the recent delay has felt this way. We have seen and felt God in moments and have known His goodness. But much has been concealed. Many secrets will be revealed. We are breaking free from delay and moving into the freedom He has called us into.
This year, during the Feast of Tabernacle, we can expect to see the beginning of the transition out of delay and into freedom. This transition will take place over the seven months between September and April, according to the revelation He has given to us. We must heal, pray and prophesy for seven months in preparation of this powerful move of God coming to the earth. Delay has felt like slavery for those who have been waiting for breakthrough. This seven months will be (for many) a final march out of that slavery.
Many miracles will take place in the years directly following. Healing, provision, prodigals returning, signs and wonders, and revelations of the unseen realm. It will be time to build. God will perform time miracles on our behalf to fulfill His promises. We expect to see divine acceleration.
THE RIGHTEOUS GENERATION
It is righteousness by faith that will bring us into complete freedom in Christ. Righteousness according to the New Covenant. God is revealing to us the True Knowledge of His Son and giving a truer revelation of the blood. A victorious song resounds across the earth as the righteousness of God is revealed through those who truly Live as Christ. They are the Righteous Generation. The workers of wickedness are in great dread of this generation, for God is with them (Psalm 14). It is through grace and love the priority of God is modeled through the righteous generation who have received righteousness themsleves through the blood of His Son. Their desire is not presumptuous or selfishly ambitious but is abounding in love.
Righteousness is a priority of God. From faith to faith the righteousness of God is revealed (Romans 1). When the deeper revelation comes, its expression will shift the culture of Christianity. This is part of what will take place in the seven years following these seven months of preparation. The production of righteousness by faith will merit access to His sevenfold spirit and allow His beloved to enjoy the fruit of His presence (Spirit of life). Rising faith has already begun to shake the nations of the earth. It is His glory manifested through the ones who walk with God.
“By faith Enoch was taken up so that he would not see death; and he was not found because God took him up; for he obtained the witness that before his being taken up he was pleasing to God. And without faith it is impossible to please Him, for those who come to God must believe that He is and that He is a rewarder of those who seek Him (Hebrews 11:5-6).”
In the coming days there will be a truer and more honest pursuit of His heart than ever before. During this pursuit the righteousness of God will be revealed in faith. Those who have insight will lead many into its ways (Daniel 12:3). Those who come to know this righteousness of God will demonstrate it on the earth. They will gather and inspire others in the journey to true knowledge, unashamedly preaching to the world the power of God for salvation. This righteous generation will operate in the multidimensional realm of God’s Spirit. They will know union with Him, and like Enoch, exhibit the fruit of walking by faith in the righteousness of God.
“I will stand on my guard post And station myself on the rampart; And I will keep watch to see what He will speak to me, And how I may reply when I am reproved. Then the Lord answered me and said, “Record the vision And inscribe it on tablets, That the one who reads it may run. For the vision is yet for the appointed time; It hastens toward the goal and it will not fail. Though it tarries, wait for it; For it will certainly come, it will not delay. “Behold, as for the proud one, His soul is not right within him; But the righteous will live by his faith.” Habakkuk 2:1-4
THE OMEGA MODEL
One of the various descriptions in the Bible of the attributes of the Lord’s nature and character, is found in Revelation 1:8:
“I am the Alpha and the Omega.”
We have now entered the Omega timeline, initiating the various prophetic scriptures associated with the consummation of the ages and God’s grand finale. This is a part of the Omega time and the Omega ministry. Therefore, it stands to reason that we will now see a new prayer model closely associated with the Lord’s identity as the Omega.
It is now time to pray Omega prayers. By that we mean praying things that are consistent with the plans and purposes of God to bring this age to a culmination in preparation of an introduction into the age to come.
We see a picture of this prophetic model in Isaiah 51:16:
“I have put My words in your mouth and have covered you with the shadow of My hand, to establish the heavens, to found the earth, and to say to Zion, ‘You are My people.’”
In this prophetic model the Lord places a word within our mouth that is birthed by the spirit of revelation and prophecy. He then covers us with the shadow of his hand (or His anointing). From that atmosphere, we articulate those prayers back to the Lord. He then shifts and changes the heavens. What transpires in the heavenly realm is then released back to earth, influencing people and cultures for the sake of the Kingdom. Next, you see a Zion company that will be called forth, in a grand harvest of souls for the last days.
This portrays a picture of Omega prayer and the Omega model. Executing this model will then separate the wheat from the tares, which is depicted in Matthew 13. It will make ready a people for the coming of the Lord and for the age to come. It is also a prayer model that will equip the overcoming remnant to begin to function as both priests and kings.
This model is to merely come into agreement with the biblical narrative of the last days. It is the consummation of the age as opposed to the initiation of the church age portrayed in the first century. This community of people that cooperate with heaven in this way will move beyond the elementary principles of the kingdom into a place of maturity and ultimately taste the good word of God and the powers of the age to come. As Peter recites in his epistle, “Hastening the day of the Lord’s return.”
THE INTERCESSOR’S HOUR
There are numerous Old Testament prophetic passages foretelling a profound outpouring of the Holy Spirit during the latter days; This speaks of a time of “divine intervention” when the Lord reveals Himself and His glory through a uniquely prepared “overcoming” witness.
Currently, the Lord is inviting those willing to set aside former religious concepts (models) and cultivate a hearing ear to receive a “present” word from Him. There, in that place we will discern between mere “human activity” and pursue an atmosphere of “divine activity” and “divine intervention.” This call is extended to those who hunger for more of God and His glory.
This is the intercessor’s hour. Many prayer groups will emerge over the next several months, carrying into the coming years. They will learn to pray Omega prayers. Those who persevere in prayer will experience communion with God. The Omega mandate for prayer will change the current culture of Christianity and usher in the greatest outpouring the world has even seen. Upon the fullness of time, effective praying will bring sound spiritual alignment and divine connections.
Those set apart for this mandate will know the “greater work” as they pursue His presence and move God to pour out His glory on our generation and on our children and children’s children. They will cooperate with His messengers. In unity they will fulfill a great work.
Oswald Chambers said: “Prayer does not prepare us for the greater work, prayer is the greater work.”
THE ARGENTINE REVIVAL
We have a growing expectation for the end of the age revival. Though this revival will be unlike any other, it is beneficial to know the history of these outpourings and what has previously moved God to pour out His glory.
We can learn from the history of the Argentine Revival.
In 1949, Argentina was considered one of the most laborious missionary fields in the Western hemisphere. The Lord sent to Mendoza, Argentina, a determined minister named R. Edward Miller to change that environment. This devoted brother held a 14 night evangelistic tent meeting without a single person attending the event. Following that, the Lord directed him to a season of prayer lasting eight hours per day for a week.
At the end of that week this brother felt no word from the Lord, no manifest presence and no hope. Determined even more, he continued that prayer cycle for another several weeks. At the end of that time the Lord visited him with His presence to encourage him to hold another prayer meeting with members of his church.
R. Edward Miller announced to his congregation of eight people that they would be holding a prayer meeting the following week from 8 PM until midnight. In addition to he and his wife, three people attended the prayer meeting. They prayed Monday-Wednesday to no avail. Finally, on Thursday, following four hours of prayer, one little lady felt a word from the Lord to slam her hand down on the table; when she did, the Holy Spirit came rushing in like a mighty wind.
This is the meager beginning of what became one of the greatest revivals in modern times. Following this outpouring a “school of the spirit” was developed, and by 1951 the “spirit of the fear of the Lord” visited the school with a mighty manifestation of power bringing great conviction, transformation and hope for revival. The Lord spoke to them after many days of prayer, saying, “weep no more; the Lion of the tribe of Judah hath prevailed. I have overcome the Prince of Argentina.” Victory had come!
By 1954 an American evangelist named Tommy Hicks visited Argentina with a word from the Lord that the fields of Argentina were ripe for harvest. After meeting with Juan Peron, the president of Argentina and praying for this man’s physical healing, a 45,000 seat stadium was granted to the evangelist. Within days, that stadium was filled to capacity and six weeks later, moved to a 110,000 seat stadium. It too was filled to capacity. In the following weeks it is estimated that 3 to 6 million people attended, leading to hundreds of thousands of converts.
Likewise, the Lord has set apart a chosen people to pray and move God, thus causing Him to breath on us and bring revival on the earth.
I WILL POUR OUT MY SPIRIT ON ALL MANKIND
Everything Yeshua spoke at the Lord’s supper on the 13 day of Nissan (Aviv), is relevant for us now. We are preparing for the last days out pouring, promised to us before the great catching away and the resurrection of the saints. Our attention continues to draw toward the importance of the month of Nissan, specifically Passion week. There is an emphasis on what took place the third day of Passion week (Passover week), which is the evening of the Last Supper.
On the 3rd day of Passion week, the Lord taught many things, including His return. He washed their feet, told them who He was, and encouraged them that He would send His Spirit to help them. Yeshua commanded them to love one another and prepared them for His death, resurrection, and the outpouring of His Spirit, which came on Pentecost. This divine wisdom gave them direction and hope as they pursued their destiny in Him.
The disciples waited, abiding one to another for a move of His Spirit they didn’t even have a grid for. All they knew was what Yeshua told them: that the Holy Spirit would come upon them that they would be a witness both in Jerusalem and all of Judea and Samaria and even the remotest parts of the earth.
They had not yet received an experiential knowledge of the baptism. They didn’t know that a violent rushing wind would come and over take them with tongues of fire. When the Holy Spirit appeared, baptizing them, they understood by Peter’s revelation that they were experiencing a first fruits of what Joel prophesied:
AND IT SHALL BE IN THE LAST DAYS,’ God says,
‘THAT I WILL POUR OUT MY SPIRIT ON ALL MANKIND;
AND YOUR SONS AND YOUR DAUGHTERS WILL PROPHESY,
AND YOUR YOUNG MEN WILL SEE VISIONS,
AND YOUR OLD MEN WILL HAVE DREAMS;
AND EVEN ON MY MALE AND FEMALE SERVANTS
I WILL POUR OUT MY SPIRIT IN THOSE DAYS,
And they will prophesy.
‘AND I WILL DISPLAY WONDERS IN THE SKY ABOVE
AND SIGNS ON THE EARTH BELOW,
BLOOD, FIRE, AND VAPOR OF SMOKE.
‘THE SUN WILL BE TURNED INTO DARKNESS
AND THE MOON INTO BLOOD,
BEFORE THE GREAT AND GLORIOUS DAY OF THE LORD COMES.
‘AND IT SHALL BE THAT EVERYONE WHO CALLS ON THE NAME OF
THE LORD WILL BE SAVED.’
The disciples had abided in the upper room, waiting for this outpouring while remembering the words and miracles of Jesus, their friend and rabbi. The disciples undoubtedly clung to His spoken words. In the same way we must cling to the teachings He left for them before He crossed the Kidron and went to the Garden of Gethsemane and eventually the cross. While we meditate on His message, we will wait and believe for the experiential knowledge of His words. He arrived for the early church in power and glory, so will He come for us. Even though we have known His Spirit in part, having been baptized in tongues of fire and prophesying, we will have experiential knowledge of the heart of the Father in a greater depth by the Spirit of Truth.
In the Gospel according to John, Jesus said:
“But when He, the Spirit of truth, comes, He will guide you into all the truth; for He will not speak on His own initiative, but whatever He hears, He will speak; and He will disclose to you what is to come. “He will glorify Me, for He will take of Mine and will disclose it to you. “All things that the Father has are Mine; therefore I said that He takes of Mine and will disclose it to you.”
By His Spirit, in these latter days we will reap a great harvest of souls just as the early church saw a great harvest. The early church leaders heard His words and with little understanding of what was coming, waited by faith. The outpouring of His Spirit came and by His Spirit, a harvest of souls. This was a tithe/first fruits of what we will see in these latter days.
It is imperative that we honor all which he spoke on the third day of Passion week.
PAROUSIA
Many people place substantial value on the intellectual realm of mankind. Nevertheless, the Scriptures tell us that the Lord places greatest emphasis on our ability to hear and access His thoughts by encountering His Presence. Our admonition is to apprehend God’s thoughts and articulate them in a word. Combining spiritual thoughts with spiritual words. (1 Corinthians 2:13)
Like Solomon we must cultivate (through intimate fellowship) a “hearing heart” so that we can perpetually hear a flow of insight and revelation from the mind of Christ. Then, and only then, can we face the deep darkness that will uniquely confront this last day generation immediately prior to the Lord’s appearing.
The Lord is preparing an overcoming body of believers to whom He will appear as the head of the body through His “parousia” presence. We are living at the consummation and grand finale of God; The time of His promised union with his bride (the overcoming remnant). This community will have fully yielded themselves to the Lord in both their natural and spiritual lives. To them the quickened and anointed word will become a personal reality. Through them the Lord will fulfill Matthew 10:8 to heal the sick, cleanse the leper, cast out demons and even raise the dead.
The book of Revelation is the unveiling or “apocalypse” of Jesus. A manifestation or uncovering of the “parousia” presence of the Lord. Jesus will be unveiled/disclosed to His people as He was before the ascension.
They also said, “Men of Galilee, why do you stand looking into the sky? This Jesus, who has been taken up from you into heaven, will come in just the same way as you have watched Him go into heaven.” Acts 1:11
One of the greatest signs of the end of this age will be the the ever-increasing presence and glory of God. His presence will increase to such a degree that we cannot fathom the power that it will bring. The Lord will reveal Himself and His presence in many ways. It will increase in intensity and duration. In Mark 16, the Lord appeared to Mary Magdalene & the other Mary; in John 20, He appeared to the 11 Apostles; 1 Cor. 15, we are told He appeared to 500 at one time; He appeared to James and all the Apostles; He also appeared to Paul.
According to Acts 1:11, He will return in like manner. (Appearing to many before His return) In Revelation 10, He returns to the Earth in His “parousia” presence with the now opened book, setting His feet on the land and sea to offer the unveiled revelation to a bridal community at the end of this age.
Before the resurrection of the dead He will appear again as He did at the time of His departure. He is coming to glorify His Ekklesia (Isaiah 55; John 16). When He appears, we shall become like Him and appear with Him in glory. (Colossians 3:3-4)
THE SECRET THINGS
“The secret things belong to the Lord our God, but those things which are revealed belong to us and to our children forever, that we may do all the words of this law.” Deuteronomy 29:29
Let us imagine revelation as a home. We want to explore every room of that home. Some of the rooms have the lights turned low. We know those rooms are there but have not yet been granted access to venture through the room. Access is being granted. We will be able to experience the details of the rooms more clearly than ever before. The lights are coming on. Things will begin to accelerate. Many will be introduced to heavenly mysteries that have never been visible on the earth: Mysteries found in intimacy with the Lord. The ecstasy of knowing Him will be our great reward.
In the coming months (and years) the Lord will open up revelation in several areas. A few of those areas are:
-Revelation about the coming days
-Revelation from the Word of God
-Revelation regarding personal healing
The Lord will give us revelation about the coming days. This revelation will fill our inner being and will often be brought to us by His messengers. We are in great cooperation with all of His messengers. There are messenger angels carrying His word to the mouth of the intercessors. We will then prophecy that revelation back to the Lord. It is time to pray prayers worthy of the Golden Altar. We will faithfully expect for Him to hurl those prayers back to the earth in fire (Revelation 8).
During these seven months, preparing for Passover, the Lord will inspire His beloved toward emotional and spiritual health and wholeness through prayer and proclamation. We will pray throne room prayers. We will not declare words controlled by emotions nor wicked agendas. This is not a time for the ambition of the soul. Instead, we will prophesy His glory to the throne room with declarations of His holiness, for He is holy. A healthy heart is a requirement in order to steward the glory. His beloved will need a steady mind and healthy soul. The Lord will give us grace to heal by revealing and exposing complicated issues. (Matthew 26:41)
A deeper understanding about the end time agendas will be (and already is) available. It will be received by those who are sincere. Good soil is an honest and sincere heart (Luke 8:15). The Lord desires His beloved to know and operate in the Truth. He will reveal the truth of His Word and give us every opportunity to be prepared.
Though darkness will cover the earth and deep darkness the people, the light of His great glory will shine and His Beloved will know the canopy of His grace. The difficulties in the secular world will continue to increase and wickedness will cover the land, but His Beloved will know the joy of our salvation and will find satisfaction in the light of His presence.
I had a dream: I was standing in a hallway holding a drawing of a door. The hallway led to many rooms. I recognized the light coming from some of the rooms. I was told by Prophetic Teacher and scholar Ed Watts to share the picture of the door on the day of the door. After sharing the dream with Ed we found that he had been teaching a message on the door, confirming his presence in the dream. We are now entering the day of the door. It is the end of the age era when revelatory light will shine. We will walk in freedom, perform miracles, and receive the mysteries that have been concealed, from the beginning. The secrets of the Kingdom will be revealed. God’s story will not be hidden.
The month of Nisan is the month of the door. The month of Nisan marks one of the holiest months in the the whole of Israel and in the history of mankind. So many things will peak and suddenly come to an end in this era. I believe in the months to come, we will see this take place in a unique way for complicated situations. These situations will suddenly come to an end. Time miracles will also be evident. We will operate outside of the natural order of things, in the supernatural.
The characteristics of Nissan can be recognized by the letter correlating to the month. The letter correlating to this month is “Hey” which means “divine breath” and is used to describe the name of God. It corresponds to the word “Light,” the bursting forth of Light. It is a picture of the new era we are living in. It is what we are building in the new day: A renewed people who will journey in the true light, which enlightens every man.
Those born in this new day will understand this light and move mightily in its curious design, for He has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ. In the midst of deep darkness there is an era of Light. This Light will shine. The Truth will come like fire. And freedom will ring.
