2003 Current
Events Report
January 1, 2003
Dear Remnant Bride Inquirer,
In the last e-mail to you on December 19, I provided a PS regarding the
prophetic testimony of Al Gore. You will recall I pointed out that Gore
was born in 1948, the year that the test of Carmel began, and that recently he
announced that he would not run for President in 2004. We saw in the 2000
election the clear prophetic testimony he provided as the one who Gores, who is
of course Satan, the one with the little horn on his forehead. Thus we
see evidenced that which must take place soon, and that is Satan and
Christianity must lose in the fifty-five year test of Carmel from 1948 to 2003.
Al Gore's birth in '48 reminds us of something pointed out in The Issue - II, page 14, something that I had
even forgotten until Peter Douglas reminded me recently. Trying to keep
this brief, just as there was the Baal/Elijah testimony on Mount Carmel, so
there was the Christianity/Remnant testimony in 1948. This is the test
between Christianity and its Latter Rain Movement that began in 1948, and the
Remnant and my own birth in 1948. But, there is another incredible and
confirming testimony to this date as well, except that it took place almost
4,000 years ago. Counting 1,948 years from the creation of Adam, or in
1948 from Adam, we find the birth of Abraham. But, that is not all!
Even as there is the contrast of Baal/Elijah and Christianity/Remnant, so
there is a remarkable and incredibly confirming like contrast to Abraham's
birth. What would that be? The answer - the land of Shinar was
settled and Babylon was founded in the same year of 1948 from Adam! Thus
we can add this bold testimony regarding the present test of Carmel - the
1948 contrast of Babylon/Abraham! This is phenomenal!
Clearly, Babylon
= Baal = Christianity, and Abraham = Elijah = the Remnant, providing the
following like and comparative contrasts, or even contests:
Babylon
vs. Abraham (beginning in 1948 from Adam),
Baal vs. Elijah, and
Christianity vs. the Remnant (beginning in 1948 AD).
Each of these parallel contests were indeed contests for life itself. If
you read the Book of Jasher, you find that Nimrod, who founded Babylon, made
several attempts to kill Abraham. Elijah had the 450 prophets of Baal
killed, while Jezebel wanted to kill Elijah for doing this. And if Satan and
Christianity could have their way, they too would kill and destroy the Remnant
and our truth, while it is the Remnant's purpose to tear down Christianity and
defeat Satan. But in each case, the Remnant representative must prevail
unto life.
Thus we see more clearly why Gore was born in 1948. He represented the
mystery Babylon system of Christianity with its head, Satan, who wants to kill
second-Remnant-representing Bush's rights to the White House. And might I
remind you that in Abraham's own "test of Carmel," he won the test
with Babylon and entered Canaan, the promised land, specifically in 2003, even
as we fully anticipate and hope for the Remnant to win the test against
Christianity and to enter into our Canaan, or immortality, in 2003.
And if this is not enough already, Yahweh has recently provided even another
testimony to this test of Carmel. If you have read very much here at The
Remnant Bride, you know that Lot being taken out of Sodom is a picture of the
two Remnant being taken out of Christianity. And most importantly, in
each case his removal meant Sodom's judgment; where upon his final removal,
fire and brimstone came down from heaven and consumed them. Lot is a
testimony of the removal of the covering from Christianity, insomuch that his
name specifically means "covering." Once that covering is
removed, judgment must follow.
So, when Trent Lott was recently removed from the position as head of the
Senate by his resignation, this of course caused a wonder on my part as to what
prophetic evidence or testimony Yahweh might be providing. Was this His
handwriting on the wall concerning mystery Babylon Christianity? Possibly
so, but what did it mean? Lott was very secure in his position as head of
the Senate; everyone fully expected him to lead it once again. But within
a few brief days, suddenly, even most unexpectedly, he was removed! What
was Yahweh telling us in this? Clearly, Lot and Lott are undeniably
similar in name and in meaning of name.
I never try to figure things out by logic, but only receive them by revelation;
and while there was obviously something prophetic going on here, I refused to
logic it. But early one morning as I awoke, I found this matter on my
mind. As I lay there in bed, the testimony became clear.
For what reason was Lott removed? Because of his comments regarding Strom
Thurmond, who recently turned 100 years of age, or a double portion Pentecost.
Lott's comments related to when Thurmond ran for President. So when
did Thurmond make this bid for the Presidency? Once again, in 1948!
Thus we see a second obvious testimony that causes us to perk our
prophetic ears. Let me get to the conclusion that became obvious that
morning.
Once again Yahweh is providing the testimony of the test of Carmel, which began
in 1948. What we are seeing here is the testimony that even as Lot was
prophetic of the covering being removed from Christianity that brings its
burning, so the removal of Lott is an obvious like timely testimony. Both
his name and the dating of the event to which he referred (1948), provide
united and revealing evidence.
We read in Zechariah 13:7-9 that the third part of the sheep of the Shepherd,
or the third part of Christianity, will be burned with fire. Following
the last 2,000 years when the first two parts of Christianity have fulfillingly
been cut off and died, with the removal of the second Remnant (the
"Lot") from this earth, the third part of Christianity (or for the
next 1,000 years) must now be burned with fire and brimstone. Thus we
find the "handwriting on the wall" per Lott's recent removal for his
comments relating to events that go back to the time when the test of Carmel
began - 1948. The Remnant "Lot" will be removed, and Sodom
Christianity will be burned.
And briefly, another current event worth noting is the resignation of Cardinal
Law from the Boston Catholic Church, which could likely be the first Catholic
church in the US to declare bankruptcy, all of this over rampant sex scandals.
We find testified in the gospel of Mark, which speaks of Christianity,
that the word "law" is never used in that gospel, while being used
several times in all three other gospels. Why? Because Christianity
is a lawless work. (More on this shortly.) And, it too is plagued
with spiritual immorality and corruption that makes it a shame to the kingdom
of God, and in Yahweh's eyes is bankrupt. But before we look at one final
current event, let us note another important hope.
Have you ever been dreaming, and suddenly your dream unexplainably converges
with reality? For example, in the course of your dream someone comes to
your door and knocks on it; and strangely, as a most puzzling and mysterious
thing, your dream converges with reality and you awake to find someone truly
knocking at your door. How could that happen? Or in your dream
something happens that makes a loud noise, and once again your dream converges
with reality, and precisely at the same time something happens in your house or
in your room that makes the same loud noise. How can this happen where
the dream world so mysteriously and precisely converges with reality? I
believe it happens as a testimony of the way of Yahweh.
There are events that are to come and are even prophesied that have many
intercessoral "dreams," if you would, as to what must come about.
For example, what we saw take place in the 2000 elections was a prophetic
pattern, a "dream," of that which will be - the second Remnant must
defeat Satan. Likewise, Gore's recent decision to not run in 2002, as
well as that which happened to Lott, are equally "dreams" or
testimonies of that which is coming to pass. For several years I have
entered into intercessions that foretold that which must come about; but like
most dreams, they did not converge with reality. This convergence with
reality is that which we are awaiting to take place. There must come a
time when "that which has been" converges with "that which will
be" and becomes reality. I await the time when the "dream"
of the outpouring of Yahweh's Spirit and the putting away of Satan fully meet
with reality.
To help you understand this, let me provide a succinct example in which a
dramatically telling prophecy converged with reality. In Ezekiel 24, we
read where Yahweh told Ezekiel that He was going to take his wife from him by
death, and that he was not to mourn her loss. Yahweh's reason for doing
this was to provide a natural visible testimony of that which would happen to
Jerusalem. But even further, on the precise day that Babylon laid siege
to Jerusalem, Ezekiel's wife died! When this happened and, as he was
instructed, Ezekiel did not mourn her loss, the people came to him and asked
him what this meant. He thus told them that Jerusalem would be taken from
them. But most importantly, we see not only living prophecy and
fulfillment, but more specifically we find prophecy (the death of Ezekiel's
wife) converging with a fulfillment (the siege of Jerusalem). Here
prophecy coincided with reality.
Let us briefly look at two other examples of this. These examples are
very familiar to you, but you have probably never seen them in this way.
When Yahshua was crucified, was it possible that He could have been
crucified just any time? No, but rather He was to be crucified at a time
when prophecy and reality would come together - specifically at Passover.
For 1,500 years, prophesy was laid out every Passover regarding the Lamb
of God. Then, when the time was right, the Son of God was crucified as
the Passover lamb.
This was equally true with Pentecost. Could or even would the Spirit be
poured out just any time? Once again, no; for the Spirit was poured out
at a time in which prophecy could and would equally converge with reality.
On the day of Pentecost, the disciples were gathered together and Yahweh
poured out His Spirit upon them. Another way of saying what we are seeing
here is that given the right timing, fulfillment crystallized on the catalyst
of a foretelling prophetic event or occasion. Thus we see in each of
these that vital fulfillments of Yahweh must form in the context of some
intercessoral and prophetic event. The fulfillment, given the right
timing, thus crystallizes into reality on a prophetic event.
Another highly revealing testimony to this phenomenon is the aspect of bearing
fruit or offspring. This examination will be well worth our
consideration. Here we see once again the necessity of two parts coming
together in order to effect new regenerative fulfillment or fruitfulness.
Thus we see that any fulfillment or fruitfulness of Yahweh must have two
parts - male and female. We know already that intercessoral prophecy is
one of the necessary elements; but, is it male or is it female? And, what
is the other element?
At first one might think that prophecy would be masculine; but it is not.
Why? Because the other part that must unite with prophecy is Law,
and clearly Law is masculine. This makes a lot of sense when one realizes
that intercessoral prophetic events are always ready and waiting to be
fulfilled. Passover took place every year, just waiting for Law to
cooperate and unite with it. Prophecy is feminine and as such is mercy,
and mercy is always ready to experience the fulfillment of its hope. But
not Law. Law is very precise and demands that everything be proper and in
order, and of course legal. Thus, prophecy cannot be fulfilled until Law
is united with it, and then comes fruitfulness. Thus we see why Law and
prophecy are frequently found together in the Scriptures. The precise phrase
"the law and the prophets" is found five times in the New Testament.
A telling testimony of Law and the order that goes with it, is seen in the
feeding of the two multitudes; and while looking at this right now may not fit
entirely into the subject of this e-mail, it is well worth noting. The
two multitudes Yahshua fed are the two parts of the kingdom of God - the
Remnant and Christianity. When Yahshua fed the 5,000 the unleavened
Passover barley bread, He demonstrated the viability and willingness of the Law
per the work of the Remnant when He had the people to sit down in groups of
fifties and hundreds (Mark 6:40). But even as Christianity is lawless, we
find in contrast that when Yahshua fed the 4,000 the leavened Pentecost bread,
He did not have them to sit in orderly groups.
Why was this done and what does it mean? First, when Yahshua set up the
first Remnant, He placed into practice the divine government of the one and
twelve, affording a government of a total of thirteen (the number of Yahweh).
Likewise, the second Remnant will have this identical governmental order.
(Read The Love of Money, page 14, for more on this.) But what about
Christianity; what is their governmental order? Even as we see testified
in the Pentecost feeding, there is NO governmental order for Christianity.
Look for yourself and you will find Pentecost Christianity to be 22,000
denominations and sects with absolutely NO united governmental order over them.
They are random and disbursed; they are fractured and divided; and in
every way, they are lawless! But most essential, that was not true with
the first Remnant when Yahshua was here, and it will clearly not be true with
the second Remnant. We will likewise come under the lawful one and twelve
government of Yahweh. This is the orderly work seen in the Passover
feeding that is united with Law.
Now, related to this, we already see that it is essential that the masculine be
present in order to unite with the feminine and bring forth offspring.
Therefore, since Christianity is lawless, it can never bring forth
fruitfulness. Without any uniting governmental order alone, Law can never unite
with prophecy. For 2,000 years Christianity has been the fig tree that
has not bore fruit. But as we see both in government and in prophetic
testimony, the Remnant will be lawful and will thus be able to bring forth
fruit where Christianity has failed. Now let us get back to this matter
of prophetic current events.
There is one noted obviously intercessoral current event upon us that the
timing thereof guardedly offers some hope, in some way, of this convergence or
crystallization phenomenon, even a hope of Law and prophecy coming together.
In November and December, 2000, I wrote that second Remnant Bush had to
win the election over Satan Gore, and that the nine member Supreme Court had to
overturn the seven member state court, both of which happened. I also
said that according to Yahweh's patterns, during his Presidency, Bush had to do
away with Satan-representing Saddam Hussein. Even as Satan received the
first-blow bruise to his head by the first Remnant, and his final defeat and
death must come by the second-blow tent peg to his head by the second Remnant,
so first-Remnant-representing senior George Bush bruised Saddam Hussein's head,
while second-Remnant-representing George W. Bush must effect his final
"death" (in one way or another).
The way things are progressing right now, it looks like the US will be in Iraq
in February to fulfill that purpose. What will this mean for the Remnant?
I continue to hope that even as dreams converge with reality, and
prophetic testimonies converge with His promise or Law so as to produce
fulfillment and fruitfulness, in one way or another the prophetic intercession
concerning Bush and Hussein will converge with the Law and promise of Yahweh to
effect some significant happening relative to the Remnant.
And considering what we said about Sodom and the removal of Lot, the covering,
as well as a correlation between Sodom and Saddam (in more ways than the
striking similarity in their names), it will be very interesting to watch and
try to see what covering will be taken off of Saddam Hussein before Bush judges
him with fire. Once again we find a clear pattern in force here.
Let us now look at another testimony per February.
On February 15, 1996, I sat on Stone Mountain in Georgia, asking Yahweh to
cause an earthquake to effect His judgment against pastors. Now, seven
years later, I look to Him with hope that in February, 2003, He will accomplish
something that will be both dramatic and significant for the second Remnant,
something that will have the same effect on pastors, but in a spiritual
fulfillment. The test of Carmel between the Remnant and Christianity must
culminate very rapidly at some point shortly. As the Elijah, we must
leave this world in a whirlwind of activity, and that whirlwind must begin
soon. Even now, several Remnant Bride members are making plans to sell
all and move here to Washington this spring. We must and will come under
the covering of holding all things in common, and place into effect the orderly
Passover government of Yahshua. (I will provide additional information
about this covering in another e-mail shortly.)
There is something else that gives me hope for February as well, but I will not
go into it now. But, once again, it is my hope that some time in
February, dreams will converge with reality and the Remnant Bride will receive
in some way an important, vital, and much needed provision from Yahweh.
When I began to see this hope for February, one of the things that concerned me
about it though was that there was not a feast that would take place in that
month; and for the reasons we have already noted regarding the fulfillment of
Yahweh's promises by converging specifically at a feast, I did not see how He
could do anything of substantial significance per man without that important
"catalyst." A feast is Yahweh's primary prophetic testimony
that affords and even invites the uniting of a promise and Law in order to
effect a fulfillment.
Passover, 2003, will fall in the middle of April. This year our Gregorian
calendar dates closely coincide with the dates of the ceremonial calendar; and
as you may be aware, Passover takes place in the first month of the ceremonial
calendar. When I began pondering this, I counted backwards from April.
March would then coincide with the preceding twelfth month in the
ceremonial calendar, and February would coincide with the eleventh month.
And what most concerned me then was that neither a feast nor hardly
anything of any significance in the Bible took place in the eleventh month.
But, as I sat and pondered this, I remembered that this was a leap year,
and in order for this lunar based calendar to get back on track with the
harvest cycle, an extra month had to be added. So, I went to the Jewish
calendar and, sure enough, there is an added twelfth month in March, 2003,
which causes Passover to fall in April. This means that with the added
leap month, February and March are actually both the twelfth months.
What does this mean feastwise? The Feast of Purim takes place in the
twelfth month, so it means that Purim can actually take place in February, two
months prior to Passover, or it could take place in March!
Today, these two twelfth months are resolved by the Jews celebrating what they
call a "little Purim," or Purim Kattan, in the first twelfth month,
or in February in 2003. It is a mini Purim that is meant to prepare them
for the next Purim, which they then observe in full. But this has not
always been the case, and even today there are those Jews (the Karaites) who
celebrate Purim in the first twelfth month (or in February, 2003), and not in
the second twelfth month (in March, 2003). In the time of Yahshua, during
both of these twelfth months, Purim was celebrated equally, with minor
limitations in the first Purim. Thus what we find here in this leap year
is a double Purim.
Therefore, we see that there is indeed a feast in February from which Yahweh
can effect a converging or uniting fulfillment, and that is the Feast of Purim.
Then once again He affords an equal opportunity in March. What is
Purim? Purim means "lots," and is named after the lots that
Hamman cast to determine the time of the destruction of the remnant of Judah.
(Casting lots was how Matthias was falsely determined to be the twelfth disciple in replacement of Judas,
while Purim was the casting of lots which equally led to the twelfth month.) Purim is the feast
in which Satan-representing Hamman's plans were reversed upon his own head and
he was killed, the very thing we are looking for Bush to fulfill regarding
Satan-representing Saddam Hussein. It is the feast where
Bride-representing Esther's intercessions on the part of the remnant of Judah
paid off. And this is precisely our hope beginning this February, or
possibly March - that all the intercessions on behalf of the Bride will begin
to find a fulfillment in some dramatic, effectual, and fulfilling way. It
is the hope that dreams will converge with reality, that Yahweh's prophetic
testimony will converge with the promise, that Law will unite with prophecy,
and as a result begin the greatest event in the history of man since Pentecost,
even the most dramatic change in mankind since the flood.
Whether all of this truly crystallizes in February, or is simply another lone
prophetic testimony, is to be seen. It all depends on Yahweh's timing.
But we do know that the test of Carmel is coming to a conclusion and
there is little time left to decide between the two opinions of the Remnant or
Christianity.
Waiting before us now are two Purims, Passover, and the possibility of a
delayed Passover, any of which Yahweh could fulfill. Thus we see that in
these closing days of the test of Carmel, the months of February, March, April,
and May are vital and telling for the Remnant Bride. And the witness of
Gore and Lott, even Abraham and Babylon, as they each relate to 1948, are
telling evidences of that which seems clearly to be at hand. Satan's and
Christianity's days are numbered.
Blessings,
Gary
