Discerning the New Year 2019
Jan 02, 2019
We have finally come into a new year and the page has been turned.
On the night of September 30, 2018 we received revelation that the enemy had been given a 90-day window in which to repent. That ended on Sunday, December 30. The team met in a final session (of its kind) at my office, but I myself could not participate directly, because I was scheduled to go to another meeting out of town.
The meeting at my office saw the completion of the deliverance work that we had seen in the past few weeks. After overthrowing the evil spirits of the top witchcraft families running the empire of Mystery Babylon previously, they were led to overthrow the governing spirits of the seven continents. They asked the Holy Spirit to fill all of the vacant places with His presence, which obviously has to do with the outpouring of the Holy Spirit.
They also were led to transfer the Debt Note account to the Kingdom treasury and to deny the enemy access to their closed account. They also dealt with the spirit of pharmakeia.
So now that we have turned the page, what might we expect to see? I don’t like to speculate, because the results are never quite what we expect. Over the years, during prayer campaigns or deliverance on this level, I have often asked God about results, but He has always said, “Trust Me.” We were required to do our job as led by the Spirit without needing to know the results.
Of course, the nature of the prayer/deliverance itself gave us some idea, simply because we always knew the layout of the battlefield and the underlying reason for the warfare. We had to know this, because that is part of establishing the just cause of war. These were not wars to grab territory or plunder resources and wealth, as most of man’s wars are. The biblical purpose of war is to enforce God’s law on an international scale. Once the justness of the cause has been determined, then we must know when and how to conduct it righteously, led by the Spirit.
In our case, Mystery Babylon had reached the end of its divine mandate a year ago (2017), and by law they were supposed to set their slaves free. God had given Babylon all these nations in Jeremiah 27:6, 7, 8). Few at the time believed the word of the Lord (Jeremiah 27:9, 10). At the other end, in our day, few believe the word of the Lord that Mystery Babylon has come to the end of its mandate and that the authority has been transferred now to the saints of the Most High (Daniel 7:22, 27).
Nonetheless, the decrees from the divine court are binding and will be fulfilled, regardless of how many people believe it. God only needs a few to bear witness on earth, yet the numbers will increase as the Holy Spirit is poured out in the time ahead.
October 12, 2017 was the 8th day of Tabernacles, the day that full transfer of authority took place. We met in Cloquet on the next three days to proclaim this to the world. It is of interest that 414 days (Cursed Time) after the authority was transferred brought us to November 30, 2018, the day that G.H.W. Bush died, Deutsche Bank headquarters was raided by police in Germany (twice, on 11/29 and 11/30), and there was a 7.0 Richter earthquake in Anchorage, Alaska.
These three seem to represent the end of political control, financial control, and the earth sign that is most prominent in the splitting of Babylon into three parts in Revelation 16:17, 18, 19).
November 29/30 itself has been on our radar for many years, especially in the year 2000, when we saw the transfer of authority from Saul to David on November 30, 2000. This date, if you recall, was 7½ years from the death of Saul on May 30, 1993, following the pattern set forth in 2 Samuel 5:4, 5.
For those who are new and unfamiliar with past events, May 30, 1993 was Pentecost that year, and it was also the 40th Jubilee of the Church since the Pentecost in Acts 2:1. Saul himself was crowned on the day of Pentecost in his day, known at the time as the day of wheat harvest (1 Samuel 12:17). Saul reigned 40 years; the church under Pentecost reigned 40 Jubilees.
Hence, when Saul “died” on May 30, 1993, “David” (the overcomers) began to reign, and we knew to watch 7½ years for the full authority transfer to take place on November 30, 2000.
It is interesting, then, that this date would come up again on November 30, 2018. It’s almost like it was planned. But most people would have missed the significance of the date, because they were unaware of Bush Sr’s hidden role in Mystery Babylon. Though he was not at the top of the ladder, he was certainly the visible head insofar as signs go. If nothing else, the timing of his death proves this.
The 30-day time of “mourning” then took us to December 30, which was the end of the revealed 90-day time for repentance. Now we have turned the page and entered a new chapter in Kingdom history. No doubt God will find many things to keep us busy, but yet it should be different. I have been given January 5 as a watch date, though I do not have any specifics at this time. The date does seem to be linked to the start of seeing results from the past 90-day work.
January 3 Congress is supposed to meet to swear in the newly elected members. But then it appears that they will adjourn immediately because the government is now shut down. In the next day of two we may see some interesting developments on the political or financial side. Beyond that, I have no real discernment or word from the Lord about what to watch for.
