So we see of these two groups one group being persecuted by the other. And the group doing the persecution, where is the first stop they bring this group to whom they are tormenting, beating? It is their religious institutions…”Synagougues”….
LUKE Chapter 21
10 Then said he unto them, Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom:
11 And great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and famines, and pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven.
12 But before all these, they shall lay their hands on you, and persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues, and into prisons, being brought before kings and rulers for my name's sake.
And we know by Revelation 16 that the larger of these two groups are gathered by the spirits of devils, and include “KINGS OF THE EARTH” so we know this group is present here above in Luke chapter 21, and the smaller group as well in the form of those being persecuted. What else does Luke offer about the smaller of these latter day servant’s of Yah?
LUKE 21
16 And ye shall be betrayed both by parents, and brethren, and kinsfolks, and friends; and some of you shall they cause to be put to death.
17 And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake.
And from JOHN we see:
King James Version: John Chapter 16
1 These things have I spoken unto you, that ye should not be offended.
2 They shall put you out of the synagogues: yea, the time cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth God service.
3 And these things will they do unto you, because they have not known the Father, nor me.
So we see this larger group, will be SLAYING members of the smaller group, and we know by the language of Scripture that the Smaller group are the true servants of Yah in these latter day prophecies, and we see as well that when the larger group is killing members of the Smaller, they “THINK THAT HE (they) DOETH GOD SERVICE”…they think themselves to be the servants of God!
Before we look more at the hiding places of the end times dweller, we must establish what it is they will be hiding from!
Malachi 4: 1 For, behold, the day cometh, that shall burn as an oven; and all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble: and the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith the LORD of hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch.
Joel Chapter 2
2 A day of darkness and of gloominess, a day of clouds and of thick darkness, as the morning spread upon the mountains: a great people and a strong; there hath not been ever the like, neither shall be any more after it, even to the years of many generations.
3 A fire devoureth before them; and behind them a flame burneth: the land is as the garden of Eden before them, and behind them a desolate wilderness; yea, and nothing shall escape them.
Nahum 3: 15 There shall the fire devour thee; the sword shall cut thee off, it shall eat thee up like the cankerworm: make thyself many as the cankerworm, make thyself many as the locusts.
2 Peter Chapter 3
5 For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old,* and the earth standing out of the water and in the water:
6 Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished:
7 But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.
2 Peter Chapter 3
10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.
11 Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness,
12 Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?
So we see the prophecy of an event, of great heat that will melt both flesh and bone till nothing is left, will melt them to ash. We see this is an event that will burn up the very elements, set the very air on Fire! Where could one find shelter from such an event? An event in which the air itself, “WHEREIN” the atmosphere and stratosphere “the heavens being” Set “on FIRE SHALL BE DISSOLVED” and even the rocks, the iron in them, the steel, all those “ELEMENTS” we find in the earth and in mountain sides “shall melt with fervent heat”…where could one possibly find safety in that timeframe?
Now that we have established what the end times dweller will be seeking shelter from, before we look at where these end time dwellers shall hide themselves….first we look to find “WHEN” these events will take place…
Luke tells of the timeframe he notes his warnings, of such timeframe…
Luke 21:22 For these be the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled.
Do we see any prophecy in scripture…old testament or new…that warns of a timeframe of “DAYS OF VENGANCE”?
Well consider the events of Revelation 18:
Rev 18:2 And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird.
Rev 18:20 Rejoice over her, thou heaven, and ye holy apostles and prophets; for God hath avenged you on her.
Hmmm…this could be “ONE” of those “DAYS OF VENGEANCE”…but are there other examples? We see above THE LORD taking vengeance for sake of his Holy Apostles and Prophets, and his saints in heaven….let us consider NAHUM chapter 1:
King James Version: Nahum Chapter 1
1 The burden of Nineveh. The book of the vision of Nahum the Elkoshite.
2 God is jealous, and the LORD revengeth; the LORD revengeth, and is furious; the LORD will take vengeance on his adversaries, and he reserveth wrath for his enemies.
3 The LORD is slow to anger, and great in power, and will not at all acquit the wicked: the LORD hath his way in the whirlwind and in the storm, and the clouds are the dust of his feet.
So we see then, that indeed there are such events prophesied, to days, in which the LORD would be taking Vengeance for the sake of his saints, his prophets and apostles.
If you have not read the “AMERICA IN PROPHECY” series on this board, particularly the first installments which detailed our position at current on the Prophetic Timeline of YAH” in relation to the events at Waco in 1993 and Nahum chapter’s 1,2 and 3…I urge you strongly to go read those before continuing this study…
