The Era of Vengeance Looms
Dearest Companions,
I feel like this may be my final communication in this chapter of our experience. I have felt this a number of times before, and thought then that I would not write again. Jeremiah had this experience:
I am ridiculed all day long; everyone mocks me. Whenever I speak, I cry out proclaiming violence and destruction. So the word of the LORD has brought me insult and reproach all day long. But if I say, “I will not mention him or speak any more in his name,” his word is in my heart like a fire, a fire shut up in my bones. I am weary of holding it in; indeed, I cannot. Jeremiah 20:7-9, NIV.
I also have had to speak out, proclaiming the violence and robbery that this nation has flagrantly carried out. I have had to speak against American international terrorism. But I am a mockery, since people don’t really care. They love death, and they love bringing death to others. They have become lawless, and each one sits as a god upon the earth, rudely declaring their own superiority over anyone in their way. But I cried out, and God made me a scandalon, as was Jesus, and a derision daily, as Jeremiah described. Then I also said, “I won’t say any more to them in God’s name.” But when a new chapter would open, God would become a burning fire in me, and I could not help but speak again.
But this chapter seems to be closing now, and I have said all that needs saying. We are coming to the end of our tribulation. Our experience seems simply and succinctly stated in the message to the church at Smyrna:
I know your works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but you art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews [Christians], and are not, but are the synagogue [church] of Satan. Fear none of those things which you shall suffer: behold, the devil shall cast some of you in prison, that you may be tried [your message proven in you]; and you shall have tribulation ten days [ten years]: be faithful unto death, and I will give you a crown of life. Revelation 2:8-10.
This August will mark the tenth year of our tribulation. I have sometimes spoken of those who claim to be Christians, but who are actually of the church of Satan, riding on the back of the beast, loving the lie, and are adversaries to God’s children. They often put the beast’s flag right on the same platform as a Christian flag. God is not an American, but they don’t seem to know that. Some of our people have died in the faith, while others expect the change. “Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from now on. Yes, says the Spirit, that they may rest from their labors; and their works do follow them.” Revelation 14:13. It is also written, “Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his saints.” Psalms 116:15. But it is also written, “Behold, I show you a mystery: We shall not all sleep [die], but we shall…be changed, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, in the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.” 1 Corinthians 15:51-52.
Whether one dies, as did Paul, or translates, as did Elijah, they are not honored one above another, for it is all the same with God. His Spirit is that which translates to heaven in a new body, or raises from sleep in a new body. I believe all things are nearing their completion, and I continue following God’s instruction to my soul.
I had a dream in the night in which we were traveling together on a wide boulevard. But I was somewhat ahead of the others, so I parked my car, and knew immediately I was to write out God’s charges and sentence, and then I was to post it. I was given to write out the charges against Babylon, which is primarily the United States of America, but also all those riding on her back and drinking from her cup. Babylon means “confusion by mixing.” Confusion is defined as “mistaking one thing to be another; a disorderly combination of elements with identities lost and distinctions blended.” As I have previously written, this is the root and spirit of New Mexico’s case against me; but it is also how America has dealt with the nations. The charges God has raised against Babylon fit perfectly into the character of the United States of America. We can read these charges in Revelation 18: “Babylon [USA] is fallen, is fallen, and become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird.” Verse 2. The State of New Mexico charged me with sex crimes because I prayed with my hand on the sternum of a 16-year-old girl. The state gave me ten years in prison for that single event. So now the God of heaven is issuing His own charges against New Mexico, and the whole Babylonian world that likes to mix things and pretend one thing is another.
The nation being “the hold of every foul spirit” can be seen in its entertainments. These entertainments are not only in bad taste, but utterly demonic. She bathes in the excrement of demons, and the spirits of devils rule over the people. But, according to the prophet, there is even more to her culpability: America has made other nations to drink from the cup of her fornication. She has exported her sins to others. “For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies.” Verse 3. This wealth has built a spirit of pride in her that is an abomination to heaven. “How much she has glorified herself, and lived deliciously…; for she says in her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow.” Verse 7. America has traded many luxuries, but the greatest evil has been to trade in “slaves, and the souls of men” (verse 13).
But there is even more charged against this Babylon. She is charged with witchcraft. “…for by thy sorceries were all nations deceived.” Verse 23. This word sorceries is also translated from the original language as “witchcraft,” and is defined primarily as the use or administering of drugs or pharmaceuticals. The word “pharmaceutical,” or “pharmacy,” comes from the Greek word pharmakon, meaning “magic charm, poison, drug.” America pedals her poisons worldwide. Instead of a witch’s cauldron bubbling in the chamber, with a witch chanting over the brew, there is a chemical laboratory with sorcerers dressed in white, contriving their formula for the people to partake of. Witches are far less dangerous than are the modern sorcerers.
I recently read of a man who was put in prison for killing his young child, who had died suddenly. He spent six years in prison before a new trial overturned the jury’s ignorant verdict. Juries are not omnipotent. They are often stupid, allowing themselves to be manipulated by the State into a conviction. It was later discovered that the child died from the immunization shots he had received. These shots often prove to be nothing but poison, especially for the very young. Thousands die every year from the products manufactured in the laboratories of these sorcerers.
But there is another form of sorcery exported to the nations; it is the sorcery of money. In this form of sorcery, a dollar is deposited in a bank. Then the bank lends out nine dollars, created out of nothing. What this means is, if anyone puts a dollar in the bank, the bank can go over to a printing press or computer, and loan nine dollars that they created out of thin air. Instead of paying interest on the dollar, and lending it out at a little greater interest, the bank can now collect interest on nine dollars of instant money. This is monetary sorcery. It is financial witchcraft.
And there is more to this scheme. The banks then lobby for houses to be constructed a certain way, which makes them expensive. Building permits are required for the banks’ self-interests. The great cost of housing then requires a loan from a bank because hardly anyone is able to purchase a home using cash. The money does not even exist without the debt. This whole scheme keeps people effectively in a slave system of debt. Their whole life is about their debts and bills, and this is just how it is intended to be. America has turned into a slave state. The “American dream” is a hoax. It is only sorcery.
There is another form of sorcery and “confusion by mixing,” the most sinister yet, and that is in America’s genetic engineering of plant and animal. If there is one sin above another, it is this sorcery of genetic engineering, where even the seeds of these bastardized plants are not able to be used again, for they are dead. They are termed “terminator seeds.” Food is now patented, and so is the genetic structure of man. Woe to Babylon, and to its sorcerers, for your sins have reached unto heaven, and your cup is full. When men play God with the genetics of God’s creation, it is a kind of sorcery that can’t be forgiven.
Creation is God’s holy work; now men come along and want to improve on it, saying God’s creation wasn’t suitable. In the spiritual realm, this is equivalent to giving God the finger in His face. It is greatly offensive to heaven. They usurp His authority, taking His prerogatives as their own, and judge Him as ineffective. Then, after changing His creation, they charge men for it, now getting royalties on the creation that they have changed. Say you had a baby, and they took it from you in the hospital, put his arms where his legs were and his legs where his arms were, and then charged you for it. Would you feel especially blessed, or would you feel like they were messing with you, and going where they had no right to go? They are now playing God in every area, even with men’s conscience.
But there is another heavenly charge beyond these sorceries: “And in her was found the blood of prophets, and of the saints, and of all that were slain upon the earth.” Verse 24. Yes, the United States has literally and physically killed many noble people around the world; but there is another less obvious way that she kills the righteous. It is through the voodoo of her media. She pokes her verbal needles into the projected images of her enemies upon the television screen. I know what this feels like. They put my own image on the screen, then poked verbal needles into me by chanting, “Wayne Bent, convicted sex offender,” “self-proclaimed Messiah,” and “apocalyptic suicide cult leader.” This voodoo was meant to kill me. It was meant to drive me to suicide, or to run away. But I am God’s son, and so I turned into a fire, and now devour those with the pins who thrust them into my image.
I do not fear devils. God is the only one who receives my reverence. But media voodoo is used generously in the United States and Britain. The journalists are often little more than information sorcerers, creating stories out of thin air. They attack anyone with their voodoo who is a threat to their haunted house of magical potions and funny money, which is used to make slaves of debt, and thereby control the souls of men. A chain is put on the neck of the working man, and it is never removed.
Now, the Judge of heaven will sentence this evil state and those with its mark. This era of vengeance — or the era when the sentence will be executed — begins after the Day of Atonement. This Day of Atonement ends on August 5th, at midnight. I have previously posted the prophetic times, and their fulfillment, that have led to this date. Just how this will unfold is not specified, and that is because judgments are revealed in varying ways. How long this era of wrath is, is not given, but there are some specifics revealed in God’s written word. Some aspects of the judgment are revealed in a spiritual sense, while other things are literal and physical.
The most important issue of this time, however, is what will happen to God’s people.
But the judgment shall sit, and they [the saints] shall take away his [the beast's] dominion, to consume and destroy it to the end. And the kingdom and dominion, and the greatness of the kingdom under the whole heaven, shall be given to the people of the saints of the most High, whose kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and all dominions shall serve and obey him. Hitherto is the end of the matter. Daniel 7:26-28.
What this is clearly saying is that the saints destroy the power of the kingdom of the beast over them. We don’t “buy it,” as they say; we don’t take any more of its “B.S.” We receive the kingdom of God fully, and reject sorcery, voodoo, slavery, and all other projections of the evil empire.
This rejection of the beast and his kingdom works hand in hand with our atonement to God during this Day of Atonement. Now we receive the dominion of God alone, fully into ourselves. We are fully “at one” with God, answering the Spirit of Jesus in John 17, “that they also may be one in us,” verse 21. This event is also linked to Daniel 5:28: “Your kingdom is…given to the Medes and Persians [kings of the east].” God was telling the king of Babylon that his kingdom was given over to the anointed ones. The saints diverted the river of Babylon’s protection and solace, exposing the wicked city, and it was finished. This historical event was also a prophecy of our own time.
Revelation 18 now tells of the sentence that would be given to modern-day Babylon. I was sentenced to ten years in prison for praying wrong, but Babylon will be sentenced to extinction:
Her plagues shall come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong is the Lord God who judges [or sentences] her. Revelation 18:8.
The merchants…, which were made rich by her, shall stand afar off for the fear of her torment, weeping and wailing. For in one hour so great riches is come to nothing. Revelation 18:15, 17.
And a mighty angel took up a stone like a millstone, and cast it into the sea, saying, Thus with violence shall that great city Babylon [USA] be thrown down, and shall be found no more at all. Revelation 18:21.
A companion chapter to Revelation 18 is Jeremiah 51. There is more sentencing found there:
Thus saith the LORD; Behold, I will raise up against Babylon, and against them that dwell in the midst of them that raise up against me, a destroying wind; And I will send into Babylon fanners, that shall fan her, and shall empty her land: for in the day of trouble they shall be against her round about. Jeremiah 51:1-2.
For this is the time of the Lord’s vengeance; He will render unto her a recompense. Jeremiah 51:6.
Babylon [USA] has been a golden cup in the LORD’s hand, that made all the earth drunken: the nations have drunken of her wine; therefore the nations are mad [or crazy]. Babylon is suddenly fallen and destroyed… We would have healed Babylon, but she is not healed. Verse 7-9.
Make bright the arrows; gather the shields: the LORD hath raised up the spirit of the…[anointed people]…: for his device is against Babylon [USA], to destroy it; because it is the vengeance of the LORD, the vengeance of His temple. Verse 11.
Behold, I am against you, O destroying mountain, saith the LORD, which destroys all the earth: and I will stretch out My hand upon you, and roll you down from the rocks, and will make you a burnt mountain. Verse 25.
For thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: The daughter of Babylon [USA] is like a threshingfloor; it is time to thresh her. Yet a little while [August 6, 2010], and the time (era) of her harvest [of wrath] shall come. Verse 33.
My people, go ye out of the midst of her, and deliver ye every man his soul from the fierce anger of the LORD. Verse 45; also Revelation 18:4.
As Babylon [USA] has caused the slain of Israel [God's true people] to fall, so at Babylon shall fall the slain of all the earth. Verse 49.
After Jeremiah was given his judgment against Babylon, he sent his messenger Seraiah to the great city with the sentence from God written on a roll. Seraiah, whose name means “God is ruler,” was to throw the book into the Euphrates, the river of solace and support to Babylon, which was at that time the greatest and most powerful kingdom in the world. It was a symbolic enactment of the judgment against her. So now I will give this judgment to my helper, and have him post it in the River Euphrates of these days.
So Jeremiah wrote in a book all the evil that should come upon Babylon, even all these words that are written against Babylon. And Jeremiah said to Seraiah, When you come to Babylon, and shall see, and shall read all these words; Then shall you say, O LORD, you have spoken against this place, to cut it off, that none shall remain in it, neither man nor beast, but that it shall be desolate for ever. And it shall be, when you have made an end to reading this book, that you shall bind a stone to it, and cast it into the midst of the Euphrates: And you shall say, Thus shall Babylon sink, and [it] shall not rise from the evil that I will bring upon her… Jeremiah 51:60-64.
After the judgments in Revelation 18, the prophetic scenario changes, and we read what John heard next:
And after these things I heard a great voice of much people in heaven [the true faith], saying, Alleluia; Salvation, and glory, and honor, and power, unto the Lord our God: For true and righteous are his judgments: for he has judged the great whore, which did corrupt the earth with her fornication, and has avenged the blood of his servants at her hand. Revelation 19:1-3.
Then, after this rejoicing over the just judgment of Babylon, the declaration of God’s Marriage to His people is made. This comes at the same time as the declaration of judgment. “Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honor to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife has made herself ready. And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of the saints.” [Song] Revelation 19:7-8.
This Marriage is established by the end of this Day of Atonement, now only weeks away. “And he said unto me, Unto two thousand and three hundred days; then shall that holy thing be completely purified.” Daniel 8:14. That “holy thing” is then justified. The sanctuary of the soul temple is cleansed. This also marks the very time of the beginning of the era of God’s vengeance against those who refused the blessing of coming into His Marriage. “Blessed are they which are called to the marriage supper of the Lamb.” Revelation 19:19.
Jeremiah also presents the prophetic victory of God’s people, the fulfillment of His promise of deliverance to us, at the same time as His vengeance on those who came against Him in the persons of His people:
But the LORD is with me like a mighty warrior; so my persecutors will stumble and not prevail. They will fail and be thoroughly disgraced; their dishonor will never be forgotten. O LORD Almighty, You who examine the righteous and probe the heart and mind, let me see Your vengeance upon them, for to You I have committed my cause. Sing to the LORD! Give praise to the LORD! He rescues the life of the needy from the hands of the wicked. Jeremiah 20:11-13, NIV.
So little children, as I have said, we have been made into children of the prophecy. We were constrained to fulfill God’s purposes, and we know that we are the least of all men. He made us to be a stumbling stone to the proud and self-righteous, and we are an offense to the wicked. But so has it always been before the great and terrible day of God. He has always warned the wicked, even though He knew it would only make the fire hotter.
So here we stand together, hand in hand, and wait as the clock ticks towards the final hour. In only a couple of weeks, we enter the twelfth hour of the day.
My love is always bonded to yours,
Michael
