Portals, Prophets, Posers, and Visions
My spirit becomes heavy at the things I read all over the internet on what are called Christian websites. Grieved, sick, sad—I’m not sure really which, or if its all three. Because Im still living in this body of flesh with all its emotions, I find myself becoming angry also: That is something I try hard to keep in check, but folks its hard. The anger is born out of frustration at the flood of insanity and demonic activity which is threatening the Church. I love God and His Church, and I love His people: and also know I am only blessed today because God saw fit to allow me to be a small part of this wonderful living Organism called the Church.
Deep in my heart I know these ‘things must be’…the word of God tells me this. I always know it shouldn’t get to me, because God knew these extra biblical teachings, false prophets and prophecies, along with all the demonic activity we see today was going to occur, so he is not in the least bit surprised! I also know the Church will survive. The word tells me that also. All we have to do is open our bible to the last page to know this is true.
BUT even knowing all these things, it doesn’t stop the deep grief or even the frustration from rising up on occasion.
When reading these insane teachings or about these outlandish experiences, my thoughts go from ‘Who are these people’, ‘I don’t recognize the Church any more’, to ‘How long O Lord before this ends!’
Those are selfish thoughts, I know. For its not really about how I see things or my frustration, but its about Christ: His Name and Holiness, His Holy Spirit, and His word.
My original intention was to only post these links for your research.
The first one, which actually led me to the second link, was sent to me this evening. In this the author claims to have been visited by (hold on to your seats) Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and Joseph.
Read it closely–besides the absurdity of it, notice the Joel’s Army/Dominionist teachings within it. I only share this because the author is yet another person involved with Patrica King, Paul Keith Davis, and the rest of this crew who teach on open portals, ladders stretching from earth to heaven (or in this case stretching from ones livingroom to heaven) and any number of extra-biblical demonically inspired doctrines.

Visitation from Four Patriarchs by Pastor Steven Shelley
I want to share an experience I had on the day that I left for Israel. It happened on Saturday, the 31st of last month [May]. I got up early in the morning to pray. I walked down to our living room to make a cup of tea first, and when I walked into the room, there was a ladder of light that went up through the ceiling.
And so I stopped dead in my tracks. I wondered, “Where did this ladder of light come from?” Then I was aware of four men in the room, and I knew who these men were. They were Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and Joseph…
I followed the link in this message to this pastors website, Jerusalem Revival, where I read of further experiences this man has had with ‘portals’.
Supernatural Manifestation of a Portal
Divine Manifestations
We are truly stepping into an awesome season of the Lord drawing His Bride through His portals into heavenly realms so that we can come to really know Him and walk out the destiny that He has ordained for us.
Below is an account of the two supernatural manifestations that appeared on the wall of Pastor Shelley’s hotel room in Tucson on successive nights at 3:00 AM accompanied by an intense Presence of God.
By divine guidance, as he was led to photograph them, he was astounded to discover that the camera had captured the details of a heavenly portal!
Pastor Shelley went to Tucson, Arizona, February 22 – March 2, 2007, to be at Patricia King’s Extreme Prophetic conference, and join other prophetic leaders in re-digging the wells of revival, especially where Bro. William Branham experienced an open heaven and many supernatural manifestations.
It was absolutely amazing what God did every day of those eight days! But what was most special and holy was the appearance of this supernatural sign of a heavenly portal ….
Like a Golden Belt Buckle
Early Sunday morning, February 25th, Pastor Shelley was awakened at 3:00 by the heavy Presence of the Lord. After weeping and praying, he turned to see what appeared to be a rectangular golden belt buckle shining with intense brightness on the wall of his very dark room. At 4:30 AM it faded..
On Sunday evening he sensed a Voice urging him to take his camera to bed with him. Again he awoke at 3:00 AM to a Presence of the Lord so strong that it made the hairs on the back of his head stand up!
And there on the wall was the same bright golden belt buckle manifestation, but this time with blue and white flames flickering above it making a whooshing noise…
Pastor Shelley wanted to download the pictures in his camera to his computer right away, but he was unable to swing his legs to the floor.….Finally he was able to get up…
This awesome manifestation showed up when he downloaded this picture to his computer.
The dark object sticking out on the left is the edge of a countertop and the one on the right a little higher up is the edge of a lamp shade. Everything else in the photo is supernatural.
When he enlarged the picture, he was astounded to discover that it had the likeness of a heavenly portal!
You can see that the golden rim has depth and there is a place to go through.
Pastor Shelley just sobbed as he was impacted by what he was looking at. He knew it was a special sign from the Lord.
If these accounts are true, as well as these photos, this is 100% demonic. And to be frank, after reading through this guys website I don’t think he is lying or that its his imagination.
If this was an isolated incident, we could read it think ‘well ok that’s weird’ and forget it, but its not. This type of portal experience and ‘visitations’ by those appearing as ’saints of old’ is occuring all around the world, and its being taught by these false teachers and prophets, that we are to expect them to increase.
Read this…
****
The Lord says, I have called you to live in the fullness of My love, My goodness, and My glory. This is your portion as My covenant child. I have called you to live in My abundance and to enjoy an open heaven over your life. As you draw near to Me you shall find that goodness and mercy shall follow you all the days of your life. I will fill your life with good things. I am pouring out blessings from above upon My people. The heavens have opened and My Spirit is moving in powerful ways. Visitations of My presence shall increase, supernatural signs and wonders shall abound, miracles will accelerate and heavenly and divine visitations will become more common in the earth..
GOD HAS ALWAYS WANTED MAN TO PARTAKE OF HIS GLORY
A “portal” is an opening (door, window, or opening). A heavenly portal or a glory portal is a heavenly opening through which God’s goodness manifests. I have seen a portal in a vision and it was a circular opening where a column of light poured down into the earth. There were angels ascending and descending.
John Paul Jackson of Streams Ministries describes portals in this way: “A heavenly portal is a spherical opening of light that offers divine protection by which angels and heavenly beings can come and go, without demonic interference. God has designed portals to begin in the third Heaven, travel through the second Heaven, and open upon Earth.”
God seems to grace some geographical locations with specific anointings, outpourings, and manifestations. Perhaps portals of glory are opened up over those regions. This possibly explains what happened in Toronto when the outpouring of the Spirit began in 1994. God poured out great blessing and power in that specific place and then it spilled out to every continent….
Portals can be opened over:
-Your personal life. When you have a portal of glory opened over your life, everywhere you go, the blessings and favor of God are evidenced.
-Any land that you own.
-Your church.
-Your community.
-Your nation.

My point is first, we can’t afford to ignore these things or these teachers any longer; even if we think they are so out-there that no one is paying attention to them. In the past we’ve been guilty of doing exactly that. But now many MANY Christians are becoming caught up in these experiences. Those who a short time ago would have believed, and rightly so, that these teachings (and experiences) were not of God are beginning to accept them. I see it in discussions taking place on many Christian boards and forums.
My next point I may get flack over but I’m going to say it anyway…
IF the Church had not ignored the Holy Spirit and the TRUE power of God…and IF the Church had not stopped teaching about the ‘real’, many today who have become so ‘hungry’ for more then a dry powerless sermon on Sunday morning and a ‘dead’ Christianity, would not have become so easily susceptible to these doctrines of demons.
Paul warns in 2 Timothy 3 of a time when the Power of God will be denied:
“Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof….”
I don’t want to be one of those people, do you? There is REAL power in the anointed word of God, it is life to those who hear it and accept it; and real power in the true gifts of the Spirit. We need both folks…the anointed Word and the real power of God working through us and in our lives.
We have been foolish…we have allowed ourselves to deny the power of God, and satan was standing by ready to offer his counterfeit to all those who were starving.
Isn’t it time we went forth in the power of God, telling others they don’t have to accept a poor imitation but can have the real thing? If we do this my friends we can begin to pull many from the fire…
“And others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire...” Jude
God bless
pj
My, my, my…what a tangled web we weave…when first we practice to deceive! How sad it is, that we can now say that about the American church. How that grieves my heart! These people seem to be totally blind that what they are practicing is pure witchcraft. You know what I think it is? For years, we have heard preached, in the church, that the devil doesn’t have any power…he’s a defeated foe…he can’t do anything…and so when all these supernatural manifestations begin to occur, Christians accept them as God because they’ve been taught that the enemy is powerless!
I am so tired of hearing preachers proclaim that God is going to bless this country … the only thing that waits for it is severe, swift judgment. And is that because of the sinners outside the church? NO! I tell you, it is because of the sin INSIDE the church that is being committed by so-called Christians!
America is going to be judged because of the sin ridden church who has wooed itself to sleep to the tune of seducing spirits and doctrines of demons.
Didn’t the Apostle Paul provide the best ‘model for ministry’, in that he emphasized Christ’s death for our sins and resurrection to new life as central, rather than signs, wonders, and the supernatural?
Dear pj:
I have been so appreciative of your site since I found it, perhaps a month-to-six weeks ago. Please, I only ask that you better distinguish between your writing and the quotes and passages from “others.” Could you use indents, or a different color/style font?
Sincerely, Patrice Stanton
Good post PJ.
So true . . .

Seems we’re on the same page, as often is the case. We had a “divine appointment” a few days ago. Love for the church is the reason we write what we write.

You are certainly correct concernng the need to expose what is false and not be silent. You are also right in assessing a great need in the Christian church for the true power of God.
I am reminded of the Apostle Paul and Romans 1:16:
“For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek. ”
That begs the question, “What should be first in ministry, the gospel of the death and resurrection of Christ for our sins and our salvation, or demonstrations of the supernatural power of God, assuming that the ’sign gifts’ are to be normative for the church in our time?”
I am not taking side here for or against those gifts, merely making an observation.
I would like to offer, however, that the salvation of poor, wretched, Hell-bound sinners, whose only hope of anything other than an eternity in Hell, IS a supernatural work of God’s mercy and grace that makes any other sort of sign or miracle pale in comparison.
Do not fear the Lord’s angels
Seeing angels is a very rare experience, although I myself can give witness of seeing these angelic beings throughout my life. Yet others, including my wife has never seen an angel, yet, she believes in angels just as much as I do.
My experience of seeing these angelic beings has not increased my faith, you would think that it would but it doesn’t, for the measure of my faith has come from the Lord.
There is no need to fear angels, for if the Lord wanted you to witness them He would certainly remove any fear.
Now some people think that by going into spiritual things, that this would cause you to witness evil spirits as such. But let me assure you of God’s Word, if you ask your heavenly Father for bread, He will not give you a stone, and if you ask Him for a fish, He will not give you a serpent, or ask for an egg, He won’t say, “here is a scorpion”, your heavenly Father will give you the Holy Spirit, if you ask Him.
This is the teachings of Jesus.
Will He not give the knowledge of His angels to you if you ask Him? He certainly will not give you evil spirits.
The scripture Luke 11v 13, proves this, do read.
The need to know this teaching in these days could not be more needed by Christians who are under attack as never before.
Now the Bible calls our body a vessel, or flesh, and this vessel is too weak to hold God’s Word
Do you remember when Jesus said to His disciples the spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak. Matthew 26.41,
yet, we have many people today who believe that by quoting the Word of God alone you can overcome anything, this certainly is not true.
For we need the Word of God and His heavenly host of angels to confront and destroy the evil in this world, for evil constantly seeks to destroy us.
Now I would like to give you a little information about some of God’s holy angels. But first I must stress to you a very important word that the Lord has given to me. That angels can be commanded to retrieve the promises of God, and to attack the problems in your lives.
But on no occasion would the Lord have us to pray to angels, or seek to converse with angels, for this is forbidden by the Lord. For we only make our petitions to God through Jesus Christ.
Now the Holy scriptures speaks of the Watchers, angelic angels, Daniel chapter4v17. From the Holy scriptures I will give you some names of Holy angels, and their God given ministry on this earth.
Holy angel Michael, who presides over human virtue, commands nations, and has the power to stop wars, he is merciful and patient. He is the one who crushes the head of the devil.
Holy angel Gabriel, presides over paradise, and is in charge of the cherubim’s, and other holy angels, he is known as a messenger of God, he has great power given to him by God.
Holy angel Raphael, who presides over the spirits of men, also is known to bring healing from God to God’s people.
Holy angel Raguel, he inflicts punishment from God on the evil people of this world, and evil spirits.
Holy angel Uriel, one of the Holy angels who watch, he presides over clamour, and terror in the world.
Holy angel Phanuel, presides over those who repent and those who hope in Christ for their eternal life.
Holy angel Sarakiel,he watches the people who are evil, and records their evil in a book of remembrance.
The main commandment that the Lord has given to His angels is to restore the earth, which the evil fallen angels have corrupted, and to announce life to it.
There are other angels who surround the throne of God’s glory, who never, never sleep, but watchers His throne of glory, they are seraphim, cherubin and ophanin, and beyond them innumerable, thousands of thousands, and myriads of myriads, who surround our Lord’s throne.
EVANGELIST BILLY BOLITHO

In this the author claims to have been visited by (hold on to your seats) Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and Joseph.
And you guys denounce us Catholics about our fringies’ obsession with Marian visions…
When he enlarged the picture, he was astounded to discover that it had the likeness of a heavenly portal!
What I see in the picture is a bright yellowish light. No portal, no likeness, just a bright yellow blob of light. It’s overexposed and out-of-focus, and the “blue and white flames flickering above it” look way too regular, like some sort of out-of-focus grid. Could be paranormal, but could equally well be a reflection illusion or multiple-exposure hoax. No way to tell from this one picture.
Both this “Pastor Shelley” and you are using it as a Rorshach inkblot, just like a “Mary in the taco”. Shelley sees some sort of Lakelandish “special sign”, you see “100% demonic”. I see a picture of a bright yellow blob, of unknown provenance.
pj, I know how you feel. God will not lose one of His elect. Yes its a pathetic mess out there but He said it was going to be like this. Pray and pray hard because only He can get the true ones out of this mess. There are plenty of His ‘real’ saints out here who are warning. Unfortunatly it looks like they aren’t listening, but if they are the Lords, they’ll know something isn’t right about it all. The biggest problem is they don’t read their word and study. They listen to these wolves. The Lord said ‘MY’ people perish for lack of knowledge. I think that could apply to todays bunch. It is the stong delusion that has been sent. Like I always say, ‘Its 11:59″!!!!
Holly
You’re right, that is the flip-side to the same coin, which also denies God’s power as well.
While satan is a defeated foe in reality..being defeated by Christ, the truth is also he still operates in this world to kill steal and destroy. If this were not so the Word of God would not warn us of his tactics, or of how we are to protect ourselves. The early church fathers understood this, but somehow this truth has been lost or ignored in today’s ‘modern’ churches.
Judgment begins in the house of the Lord…
Born4Battle,
Of course…. our emphasis should always be on Christ and the Gospel. Signs and wonders were never something we see the early church going after–but we also don’t see them (in the many accounts found in the bible) discounting those which were sent by God for the purpose of revealing His power and Glory.
Even the Word itself was preached under the anointing of this same power:
And I, brethren, when I came to you, came not with excellency of speech or of wisdom, declaring unto you the testimony of God. For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified. And I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling. And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man’s wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power: That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God. 1Cor.2: 1-5
There is life and death in the Word;
Do we begin again to commend ourselves? or need we, as some others, epistles of commendation to you, or letters of commendation from you? Ye are our epistle written in our hearts, known and read of all men: Forasmuch as ye are manifestly declared to be the epistle of Christ ministered by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tables of stone, but in fleshy tables of the heart. And such trust have we through Christ to God-ward: Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think any thing as of ourselves; but our sufficiency is of God;
Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life.
But if the ministration of death, written and engraven in stones, was glorious, so that the children of Israel could not stedfastly behold the face of Moses for the glory of his countenance; which glory was to be done away: How shall not the ministration of the spirit be rather glorious? 2 Cor.3: 1-8
The word alone without the anointing of the Holy Spirit upon it can only bring death–it is the the power of the Spirit of God which brings forth life from the preaching of it.
Satan himself knows the word: if it was just the speaking of the word alone, minus the power and anointing, could we possibly believe that satan could speak the word and bring forth life? Heavens no!
We are a generation today which has fallen into extremes; one one hand we have those who, if out of pride or ignorance, have decided they don’t need the power of God to accomplish His will on earth. Some of these people may have come to this point because of fear—a fear which is based upon the other extreme, which are those who do nothing but seek after what they wrongly believe IS the power of God. These are those who ignore everything but the ’signs, wonders, and supernatural experiences.
Both are in error….
Many in this second group of extremists, are falling for the counterfeit and demonic today. Why? Because the first group has denied the power of God for years: they have failed to acknowledge the Churches need for God’s power. By doing this they have failed to preach the whole Gospel.
This has left us, speaking of the Church, with a generation of young Christians which may indeed have heard the word from pulpits, but its been a ‘dead word’…
I thank God for those preachers today who still know they need the anointing of God’s Spirit to preach God’s word. There are even a few who have risen up in recent years who know this and rely upon the Holy Spirit (God’s power) to preach.
Think of a John Piper or Paul Washer: when i listen to them bring forth the word of God, it is powerful, and pierces to my very soul with conviction. That does not come from just the word alone, but by the Holy Spirit anointing upon them AND upon the word they speak.
Thanks Dan, you seem to have understood what i was trying to say…
Jesus said in Mark 16:
Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. And these signs shall follow them that believe….
Signs and wonders appear here, to follow after us! lol!!
These false teachers, prophets and movements today, have it backwards: they try to convince us we need to seek after signs, wonders, and supernatural experiences. Doing that will only open the door for satan to deceive us with counterfeits.
I think if we’re preaching the word under the anointing of the Holy Spirit the power of God will be evident. That doesn’t mean it will always be followed by supernatural signs and wonders though…
We are a people who seem to believe God’s power always ( just) equals signs and wonders. I don’t believe that Dan.
While its true that signs and wonders ‘may’ show up on occasion, the greatest evidence of God’s power is the preaching of the word while being UNDER God’s power.
I love it when out of no-where God will manifest His power, presence, and love in a supernatural way through a sign, wonder, or even a miracle, but i don’t believe these are things we should expect to happen every time the Gospel is preached.
PJ
respect for Your clear describing of these things. Please, continue this way
These ‘portals ‘ , and pictures, seem to be exactly what share international com ( the official website of AntiC and his prophet, mr Creme ) talk about….
Loneman

Loneman,
some people would be shocked to know how common these teachings on open portals has become.
Mistakenly in my ignorance i thought it was just a few of extremists and wacko false prophets, here in the US, who were promoting this. After doing some research i now know i was wrong.
Well of course thats what you see Ken, its all any of us see.
The point is this pastor believes it was an open portal to heaven. And as i said previously, after reading this pastors website i did not get the impression he was lying or faking the photos or his account of what occurred.
Better he had been lying!
Too many people world-wide are reporting similar ‘experiences’ to just write them all off as imagination or out-right lies.
So, if they are not of God then who is giving these people these experiences? Satan thats who…
No one has said very much about the first link and this experience of a ladder and seeing/talking to Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and Joseph.
Besides the fact we know these were not these Patriarchs who showed up, what did you think about what these entities said?
These portals are what spiritualists would call ‘orbs’
Disturbing video here from Morning Star Ministries re ‘jumping into the eye of the Holy Spriit vortex’ -
http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&videoid=33824953
It sounds like the false dominionionism/Kingdom Now/Manifest sons of God movement. . .
BTW I am also Born4Battle. Firewalls prevent my being logged in when I have a chance for a comment or two during a break at work.
If anyone watches this video clip Mariam posted, listen closely at one minute into it; you will hear BAM! being shouted as a man lays hands on another in prayer.
That’s the contagious Bentley impartation at work already, as far back as May when this video was shot.
A Holy Spirit ‘Votex’…thats a new one to me.
Dan it did to me too. I may end up copying that whole ‘conversation’ into this thread just so we can look closely at it…
aha! then i replied to the both of you!
- interesting, the video:
at the start is writed ‘whirlwind ‘.
Your pr e si* dent also used the same phrases; as did other secular and denominational ‘heads ‘.
And ‘whirlwind ‘ refers to a diety.
But NOT to Him.
L
It sounds like a message that an alien abductee would bring back. Very New Age, nothing about leaning more than ever before on your Lord and Savior, nothing about sin and repentance and spreading the word…just the same ol’ message of man being capable of saving himself. I love the part about the new breed of Jesus guys running around and protecting Israel.
Looks like this alien abductee just happens to have a Pseudo-Christian spin on his experience…it makes it more palatable to his “Christian” listeners. Satan will be whatever he needs to be to get people to follow a lie.
Abraham
“My name means ‘father of a multitude.’ Will you covenant with us to take care of our people, Israel?
Joseph
“Tell the people they are to become saviors of their age.”
Abraham
“God wants to bring a period of peace. He wants to bring stability to this nation for a season. And then there will be a season of stability in the world. Then the harvest will be reaped. And then after that things will get difficult again.”
Isaac
“Many sons will come forth in your day to become saviors of your age. This has been reserved for your generation. These are forerunners of a new race on the earth who will come into the fullness and likeness of Jesus. For many of these sons, their work is to protect the nation of Israel.”
Jacob
“The time is short. You must take hold of your destinies and arise into your callings.”
It is truly sad that the Christian Church has been taken over by these blinded, so-called Christian mystics that are stealing souls. This has been done in the name of “unity.” We had better rise up and warn those few who still remain with Jesus.
I enjoyed your insight Pj.
Continue to work for Jesus and He’ll give you a great reward.
Pat Holliday
Notice how the drums started beating really fast when they were jumping in and out of the “vortex”. witchcraft, witchcraft and some more withchcraft. Turn the sound off and the scene looks like a mental asylum
Had to really do some work on this one pj.
This is what I found…
A PORTAL??
NO, a bright light.
Try a picture frame.. yes, with small metal strips and screws.
Ever look into a mirror with a mirror… the image goes on and on… this is what I saw when I enlarged this photo. One image on an angle, relfecting itself over and over…. how could I tell it is the same image over and over again??
At it’s largest enlargement, I could see what looked like two people standing at an angle, one in front of the other… but, the same exact images are in the next angle, and the next and the next… on and on.
Then I as I sat the photo at level I began to see something interesting…
Some sheer material veiled the photo…
So, get this: I see two eyes and a nose captured in the glass of the picture frame.
The first eye I saw was in the blue shirt of the person in the background. The second eye is clearer and is above the head of the person in front of the other one.
of course the nose was obvious.
It is the same reflection in each frame. One after another after another… the same exact picture.
Well I do agree with one thing… I will take hold of my destiny and calling: to keep my eyes on Jesus and follow Him. This is the only destined calling I can forsee.
I too agree with your assessment… sad, grieved, and sick. I said to my daughter today… it isn’t a sadness like that of depression, or suicidal, or even withdrawn to myself… it is rather a heaviness… grieved in Spirit.
Blessings be upon you always in the Name of our Lord Jesus… may He hedge you in continually.
Oxy, how in the world did you see all that?! ahaha…
I can’t see anything but a purple ‘ridgy thing’ and small light in the first photo, and a big light in the second one.
Do you think, after blowing it up, that you are seeing this pastors face reflected somehow?
you too my friend…
Kit that crossed my mind when reading it too…
I’m going to post it all below so anyone can pour over it and comment..
Amen Pat.
Its becoming harder and harder for many Christians to continue to shout out warnings. I saw today that one of the members at youtube who has been posting warnings in his video clips, has closed his account due to threats on his life and that of his family.
It appears those who stood against him somehow got a-hold of personal information on where he lived etc. (I put up a post on this tonight)
This is the complete account of the supernatural visitation this pastor experienced in which he claims to have met and talked with Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and Joseph: *any emphasis is mine*
*******************
Visitation from Four Patriarchs
by Pastor Steven Shelley
I want to share an experience I had on the day that I left for Israel. It happened on Saturday, the 31st of last month [May]. I got up early in the morning to pray. I walked down to our living room to make a cup of tea first, and when I walked into the room, there was a ladder of light that went up through the ceiling.
And so I stopped dead in my tracks. I wondered, “Where did this ladder of light come from?” Then I was aware of four men in the room, and I knew who these men were. They were Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and Joseph.
Abraham’s Request
Abraham said, “My name means ‘father of a multitude.’ Will you covenant with us to take care of our people, Israel?
“The persecution that is coming upon the Jewish people will make the Nazi holocaust look like child’s play. Most of the Israelis scattered around the world will not be able to return to Israel.”
And he looked at me straight in the eye and said, “Will you become their haven? Will you prepare in your nations places to receive them and protect them?”
When he said this to me, suddenly the scene changed and I saw many places around the world. I saw many people buying land. People were building houses with false walls to create hidden rooms. Because of the way they were built, you couldn’t tell from the outside. Then nations stood out. One of them was Canada. Another was New Zealand. Another one was Australia. There were many places in Scandinavia. Some places were very remote. Some were in cities and others were vast tracks of land. Some were in the USA.
Joseph’s Word
Another man spoke this to me: “Much was spoken in your day about my ministry. I am Joseph. My name means ‘one who will increase.’ Many of you do not understand. It’s not just about money and wealth. The name Pharaoh gave me meant ’savior of the age.’ I increased and became the savior of my age.”
Later I picked this up from Genesis 41:45 – And Pharaoh called Joseph’s name Zaphnath-paaneah . . . And when I checked out the root meanings, it means “savior of the age.”
He said, “My ministry involved feeding and saving the fledgling nation of Israel, providing food. It is three-fold. It is natural, it is spiritual and it is also financial.” I could hardly restrain myself at this point.
He said, “God will provide wealth to build His Kingdom if we seek His Kingdom first. Then He will take care of us.”
Then he looked at me with great penetrating eyes. He said, “A great famine is coming on the world. This will take many forms.” He looked at me, pointed his finger and said, “Be prepared.”
He went on to say, “I represent one of the most powerful rulers of my day, yet I became a god to Pharoah. I became the mouthpiece of the Most High God. My word became law. This is the true Joseph ministry. There are many false Joseph ministries out there. My mission was to save many people’s lives. Tell the people they are to become saviors of their age.”
Then he quoted a Scripture to me: (Oba 1:21) And saviors shall come up on mount Zion to judge the mount of Esau; and the kingdom shall be the LORD’s.
He looked so regal. He said, “We can only do so much for you. We can encourage you, but this is your day. You must prepare now. The true Joseph ministry must now arise.”
Isaac’s Word
Another voice spoke to me. He said, “I was a child of promise.” I looked at this man and knew he was Isaac. He said, “My name means ‘laughter.’ My mother laughed when she was told she would have a son in her old age.”
And then he said this: “Many in the church will laugh when the teachings of God’s sons will be proclaimed in fullness. But you must no longer hold back the truth.”
I looked at this man and just paused for a while to take all this in
He looked at me and said, “Many sons will come forth in your day to become saviors of your age. This has been reserved for your generation. These are forerunners of a new race on the earth who will come into the fullness and likeness of Jesus. For many of these sons, their work is to protect the nation of Israel.”
Then he said this to me: “Remember . . .
(Mat 25:40) And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.”
Jacob’s Word
Another man spoke up. He said, “I had a destiny that involved the formation of the nation of Israel.” This man was very tall, very regal and emitted a lot of light. He said, “My insecurities caused me much grief. My name means ‘supplanter.’ But it has another meaning – that of a circle. My life went in circles until God took hold of me and changed me.” That man was Jacob.
He said, “I encountered the Lord at Bethel. I was never the same again. Insecurities will cause you to go in circles and miss your calling and destiny. You must lay your life down completely for the Lord. It is better to die serving the Lord, than to die in calamities that are coming upon the earth. You can only achieve what you were called to do when you connect with God and when you walk under an open heaven.”
He said, “Many years passed when I went through testings, but finally I came to Peniel where I wrestled with the Angel of the Lord. This intercession brought final death to self in my life. My natural strength was overcome with the strength of the Lord.
“My name was changed to Israel. It means ‘a prince with God,’ but also has the meaning ‘to rule with God.’ My name change reflected an inner change that had occurred within me.
“The time is short. You must take hold of your destinies and arise into your callings.”
“Please Ask the People of God to Help Our People Israel”
Finally, Abraham looked at me and said, “Please ask the people of God to help our people Israel.” His voice portrayed an incredible sense of urgency. “We will be with you when you go to Israel.”
Friends, I want to tell you tonight that this is a serious time. It is a time when we can’t hold back the hand of God anymore.
I said, “But, Lord, sometimes we preach things that seemingly cause division.” And the Lord said to me, almost angry, “I tell you, let the spiritually dead bury their dead, but you go on and build the Kingdom of God.”
This is the time in which we are living now. We have come to the Kingdom for such a time as this. This is why we need to pray for Israel. We are not here to hear good sermons. We are here to avoid a crisis. This is a serious time. It is not by chance that God brought me back to Israel at this time. And what He was saying is that there is going to be an attempt to repeat that Yom Kippur War again. We must pray.
God wants to bring a period of peace. He wants to bring stability to this nation for a season. And then there will be a season of stability in the world. Then the harvest will be reaped. And then after that things will get difficult again.
It’s just like Joseph. There are going to be seven good years. I didn’t say easy years; I said good years. And we must work while it is yet day for the night is coming when we will not be able to work. Time is short. You must rise into your destinies now. Decisions you make now will control your life for the next fourteen years. You must make right decisions.

“..the name Pharao gave me..” – eh ?
..does anybody see a connection..?
stargates, pyramids, Egypt, the hexagon ( Remphan s seal ) on ‘Israel s’ flag…
besides:
in this piece, Esau ( Edom ) revealed his identity as giver of this ‘prophecy’ :
because yes ‘ the mountain of Esau ‘ will be judged, but Esau wishes to make it appear as if there existed an esau already, OTHER than himself,
so that the attention will be deflected from himself

Hi Patrice…forgive me for only now seeing your request.
That’s an excellent idea. I try to remember to do it, but sometimes, like in the case of this post, it may be 3-4 in the morning and i just plain forget. Forgive me for not realizing i had not taken the time to color code or something, my words from those of others: –looking at it now, im sure it only made it harder to follow. I’ll edit it right now…hope it makes it easier to read….
Billy, where are you getting this from? Is this from the book of Enoch….
