Something changed on August 8th. I sensed it in the spirit, and I knew that it was big. It came with the scary feeling of great movement as if the winds on high were contending, or an army of angels paused for battle had been released to go to war. What I felt was confirmed to me last night by Robin Bullock in a special broadcast of Elijah Streams. I believe the time of God's patience is over, and that heaven's armies are now on the offensive.
I saw something else last night when I was sitting outside on my porch. (I had not yet seen the interview with Robin Bullock.) I was watching a video of a group of patriots discussing the FBI raid on the president's home, just considering things, when I saw a light in the sky. It was as if I were catching it out of the corner of my eye. My spirit instantly perked up, and I looked in that direction to see an angel descending with a big sword in his hand. He was full of light, but the figure was translucent, like he was a hologram I could see through. I didn't trust the dimness of my spiritual vision, and wanted to be sure about it, so I asked the Lord if I had seen something real. He confirmed that it was real, and then told me the angel was His angel of death. He said that tomorrow (today, August 10) a lot of people were going to die, and that it would continue to the end of the month. He said the angel would seek them out, those who were slated for death.
I am 100% sure about what I felt Monday night. I am less certain about the angel thing, but it's obvious what would confirm whether that was real, and I think it will be quite obvious if it bears out. I will add that everything I've experienced came with the strong sense that the action was directed at the enemies of God, who have been stupidly opposing Him at every turn despite being given every chance to change their ways. I also have the strong conviction that the people who truly belong to Him and the ones He is doing all this to help have nothing to fear. They will only see it with their eyes.
I didn't notice anything unusual yesterday in that regard. A few high-profile people died, but that's been happening every day now, so it's not enough to confirm the words I heard. Perhaps it will be in the statistics if what I heard was accurate. If it wasn't, I won't get broken up about it because I was clear about not being quite sure of what I heard after I saw the angel.
I've been learning a lot about the need to restrain my urgency. I think I would have done better to keep the part about the angel to myself until I had some time to pray about it and confirm the truth or error of it with God. It's always a good idea. We see through a glass darkly, and right now there's a lot going on down here. There is a fog of demonic activity, and it's possible, even likely, that people might get the wires crossed sometimes or pick up on what's flying through the air.
I've been watching the prophets, and I've seen that happen sometimes. I've seen some give prophecies that were really the enemy's plans. I think in these cases they got as far as the second heaven with their sight and took it for revelation from the third heaven; but please don't blame them or cast them away for this. it doesn't mean they don't have a true gift from God. Nobody gets it all right, and the devil is tricky. We all fail sometimes as we learn to walk with God. The Bible says we only see as through a glass darkly, and that is the reason why prophets in the church are subject to peer review (other prophets judging the accuracy). There would be no reason for that if every prophet was 100% accurate as they were when they were judges over Israel in the Old Testament. Even so, news from the second heaven is still useful, if you have eyes to see it. When we hear something that we know is definitely the enemy's plan, that is something we can stop through prayer because what the enemy plans to do is never God's will. God is not a perpetrator of evil, even if He has the almighty power to make sure evil brings forth good for His people in the end.
I did see an angel with a sword. That part I know for sure, and I'm 100% certain about what I felt Wednesday night. We are in a different season now, and a lot is going to happen to change things.
An angel with a sword could be either the Angel of Death or St. Michael the Archangel who is always seen or pictured with a flaming sword.
Michael is a warrior, Captain of the Host, but I don't think it was him. If it was him, I feel sorry for whoever is at his destination.
