On Wednesday, December 29, 2010, I had a dream which was repeated three times. In my dream I saw several crosses. The crosses were all upright in the ground. On the middle cross was our Saviour, Yahushua Ha Mashiach. No one were on the other crosses. Between each cross stood an angel dressed in brilliant white.
This dream which was repeated three times is significant and indicates that these are troublous time for the followers of Yahushua and what many of them will endure for believing and trusting in Him. Grave troubles await them and many will be severely persecuted and martyred. However they have the assurance that they will not be on their own in their fiery trials because Yahushua, who willingly went to the Cross for the entire human will be with them. His holy angels will also be with them and help them as they are being martyred for His Name. These holy angels will also accompany their spirits (spirits and souls) to Heaven at the moment of their deaths where the will begin the rest of eternity. There in Heaven, with their Saviour Yahushua, they will enjoy the splendour, riches, joys and glories of Heaven where they will be for ever free from Satan’s wrath, their persecutors and the fiery trials and sufferings they endured in this world.
Satan is angry against Yahushua and His followers. Through his deceived followers, Satan has vented and is venting his anger against many of the children of Yahushua in many parts of the world. It has been historically recorded that more Christians were martyred during the 20th Century than all the other centuries put together. Since the 21st Century began, the persecution and martyrdom of many of His followers have been intensified in some countries. In recent weeks many have been martyred in Iraq, Egypt and in parts of Nigeria.
The global call from Al Qaida has been given to attack and kill Christians. No one who worships and follows our blessed Saviour, Yahushua, is safe in this world.
These are troublous times for the world but in particular, it will be worse for the followers of Yahushua. Satan, his demons and deceived followers are determined to do everything in their power to wipe the believers and followers of Yahushua from off the earth. This will become more and more evident as the coming of Yahushua draws nearer. In the days which lie ahead, many of Yahushua's children will be persecuted and martyred, hence the reason for the crosses which were shown to me in my dream. However, those who will suffer this fate of martyrdom are assured that they will not be alone because Yahushua, our Saviour, will be with them. Holy angels will also be in attendance to help, strengthen and minister to them and then to accompany their spirits to Heaven.
Satan, the dragon and old serpent, has most of the people in the world whom he has deceived. However, he is not satisfied and he is determined to oppress the followers of Yahushua with the intension that they will lose their faith in their precious Saviour and turn to him. He knows that those who turn to him will share his fate in the lake of fire and brimstone into which he will be cast in the final Judgment. There they will suffer with him throughout the rest of eternity. Therefore, as the coming of Yahushua draws closer, he will intensify the persecution and martyrdom of as many of the followers of Yahushua as he can.
The days ahead of this world will be not be easy. Great and severe judgments are falling fast upon the earth through the catastrophic and destructive disasters which are coming upon the world. These judgments include earthquakes, floods, tornadoes, hurricanes, volcanoes, tsunamis; the global financial crises, inflation, shortage of food and clean water, escalation in the price of fuel, rise in unemployment, loss of homes and livelihoods, plagues and pestilences.
It will not be easy for the vast majority of people in this world. However, in some countries it will be far worse for the followers of Yahushua as governments clamp down on their Christian activities and enact laws to further restrict them. The anger of many who are opposed to Yahushua and have rejected Him as their Saviour, will be vented against those who believe in Him and have accepted Him as their Saviour. They will do all in their power to silence them through persecution and death. Sadly, these deceived people will accuse the Christians, including the Messianic Jews of being the cause of the troubles upon the world.
I believe this dream of the crosses, which was repeated three times in succession, indicates the certainty and continued sufferings, persecution and martyrdom of many of the followers of Yahushua. These are frightening times and they will worsen with each passing day. As followers of Yahushua, who study His word, these happenings should not be taken from granted. Neither should they take us by surprise because we are told in Daniel 12: 1-3:
“1 And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book. 2 And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt. 3 And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever”.
It is time for us, who are His believers in Yahushua, to get our spiritual houses in order, draw close to Him and be ready to leave this world. Our leaving this world could either be through our demise (which could be at anytime), or at our Saviour’s return for all His faithful children. Therefore, to my fellow believers and followers of King Yahushua Ha Mashiach of Nazareth, I would like to say in His words:
“Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer: behold, the devil shall cast some of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall have tribulation ten days: be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life. He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; He that overcometh shall not be hurt of the second death”. Revelation 2: 10,11.
“And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell”. Matthew 10: 28.
“Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. 12 Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you”. Matthew 5: 11, 12.
I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: 26 and whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. John 11:25,26.
Please remember also the words of Paul, the apostle, who was also martyred for being a servant and an apostle of Yahushua:
“Therefore we are always confident, knowing that, whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent from [Yahushua] the Lord: 7 (for we walk by faith, not by sight:) 8 we are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with [Yahushua] the Lord. 9 Wherefore we labour, that, whether present or absent, we may be accepted of him. 10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of [Mashiach] Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad”.
Fellow believers in Yahushua, in spite of what you may suffer for His Name, PLEASE BE FAITHFUL TO HIM. Please remember that “the darkest part of the night is just before the dawn”, as the old adage says. Likewise,
“weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning”. Psalm 30: 5.
Please be of good courage in these despairing and troublous times. By Yahushua’s grace the troubles will not be forever because we have His assurance:
“And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be”. Revelation 22: 12.
Therefore, LET US BE READY AND WAITING TO LEAVE PLANET EARTH AND BE WITH OUR SAVIOUR KING YAHUSHUA Ha MASHIACH!!
