The Sign of The Significant Times


“The Sign of Significant Times”

On Friday night, 6-3-11, during our Friday Night meeting, the Lord showed me an angel reading a newspaper. I saw his back and I could see the title of the Newspaper that he was reading. It was titled, “Significant Times.” (Kind of like the New York Times, or the Washington Times, etc.) This is symbolic of our needing to understand the Times and Seasons of God that we about to enter into. So, I looked up the meaning of ‘Significant’ to get more understanding:

1913 Websters Dictionary: Sig`nif´i`cant
1. Fitted or designed to signify or make known something having a meaning; standing as a sign or token or symbol; expressive or suggestive; as, a significant word or sound; a significant look.
2. Deserving to be considered; important; momentous; as, a significant event. An epoch.

Signs of the Times = Significant Times:   Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

Sirach 43:6 And the moon in all in her season, is for a declaration of times and a sign of the world.

Matthew 16:1 Some Pharisees and Sadducees were on him again, pressing him to prove himself to them. He told them, "You have a saying that goes, 'Red sky at night, sailor's delight; red sky at morning, sailors take warning.' You find it easy enough to forecast the weather—why can't you read the signs of the times? An evil and wanton generation is always wanting signs and wonders. The only sign you'll get is the Jonah sign." Then he turned on his heel and walked away. TM
Jonah’s message: Repentance       John’s/Jesus’ message: Repentance

Luke 11:30 For [just] as Jonah became a sign to the people of Nineveh, so will also the Son of Man be [a sign] to this age and generation.

Luke 2:17 [The Signs of the Times and the End of the Age] So they asked Him, saying, “Teacher, but when will these things be? And what sign will there be when these things are about to take place?” NKJV

Daniel 2:21 “It is He who changes the times and the epochs (seasons and cycles); He removes kings and establishes kings; He gives wisdom to wise men And knowledge to men of understanding. (Everything has its own season and cycle in heavenlies and in the earth)
 * God knows every ruler that will rule, and every choice men will make. The Key is to choose God’s choice and not our own.

Acts 1:6 So when they had come together, they were asking Him, saying, “Lord, is it at this time You are restoring the kingdom to Israel?” 7 He said to them, “It is not for you to know times or epochs which the Father has fixed by His own authority; 8 but you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be My witnesses both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and even to the remotest part of the earth.”  *Don’t be so concerned about figuring out the details of what has to come to pass in its cycle, but rather seek to walk out your life in My will and in My power.

1 Thessalonians 5:1 Now as to the times and the epochs, brethren, you have no need of anything to be written to you. 2 For you yourselves know full well that the day of the Lord will come just like a thief in the night. 3 While they are saying, “Peace and safety!” then destruction will come upon them suddenly like labor pains upon a woman with child, and they will not escape.

* It is not given to man to know that which is Divine, but you seek to be ready at all times in it. Remember, only the Father knows the end.
1. Repent – A Lifestyle
2. Yield to My Will for you
3. Surrender to My Ways each day
4. Walk it out

A Significant People:

Philippians 2:3 Do nothing from rivalry or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves. ESV (mutual respect)

James 4:10 Humble yourselves [feeling very insignificant] in the presence of the Lord, and He will exalt you [He will lift you up and make your lives significant].  AMP   * When you are yielded to Me: You are walking in humility = When you are resistant to Me, you walk in the pride of your own heart.

2 Kings 8:13 But Hazael asked, “How can a dog like me do such a significant thing?” Elisha answered, “The Lord has shown me that you will become king of Aram.” GWT

Matthew 26:10 When Jesus realized what was going on, he intervened. "Why are you giving this woman a hard time? She has just done something wonderfully significant for me. You will have the poor with you every day for the rest of your lives, but not me. When she poured this perfume on my body, what she really did was anoint me for burial. You can be sure that wherever in the whole world the Message is preached, what she has just done is going to be remembered and admired." TM
Hebrews 11:7 [Prompted] by faith Noah, being forewarned by God concerning events of which as yet there was no visible sign, took heed and diligently and reverently constructed and prepared an ark for the deliverance of his own family. By this [his faith which relied on God] he passed judgment and sentence on the world's unbelief and became an heir and possessor of righteousness (that relation of being right into which God puts the person who has faith).

A Significant Church:

1 Corinthians 12:14 I want you to think about how all this makes you more significant, not less. A body isn't just a single part blown up into something huge. It's all the different-but-similar parts arranged and functioning together. If Foot said, "I'm not elegant like Hand, embellished with rings; I guess I don't belong to this body," would that make it so? If Ear said, "I'm not beautiful like Eye, limpid and expressive; I don't deserve a place on the head," would you want to remove it from the body? If the body was all eye, how could it hear? If all ear, how could it smell? As it is, we see that God has carefully placed each part of the body right where he wanted it.

Acts 6:7 God’s word continued to grow. The number of disciples in Jerusalem increased significantly. Even a large group of priests embraced the faith. CEB     *The Great Mystery still being revealed is the Body of Christ in the earth.

Examples of Significant Events:

Exodus 8:22 But on that day I will sever and set apart the land of Goshen in which My people dwell, that no swarms [of gadflies] shall be there, so that you may know that I am the Lord in the midst of the earth. 23And I will put a division and a sign of deliverance between My people and your people. By tomorrow shall this sign be in evidence.

2 Kings 20:9 And Isaiah said, This is the sign to you from the Lord that He will do the thing He has promised: shall the shadow [denoting the time of day] go forward ten steps, or go back ten steps?

Isaiah 7:14 Therefore the Lord Himself shall give you a sign: Behold, the young woman who is unmarried and a virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel [God with us].

Zechariah 3:7Thus says the Lord of hosts: If you will walk in My ways and keep My charge, then also you shall rule My house and have charge of My courts, and I will give you access [to My presence] and places to walk among these who stand here. 8Hear now, O Joshua the high priest, you and your colleagues who [usually] sit before you--for they are men who are a sign or omen [types of what is to come]--for behold, I will bring forth My servant the Branch. 9For behold, upon the stone which I have set before Joshua, upon that one stone are seven eyes or facets [the all-embracing providence of God and the sevenfold radiations of the Spirit of God]. Behold, I will carve upon it its inscription, says the Lord of hosts, and I will remove the iniquity and guilt of this land in a single day. An example: Ex 24:9-11.

9Then Moses, Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel went up [the mountainside]. 10And they saw the God of Israel [that is, a convincing manifestation of His presence], and under His feet it was like pavement of bright sapphire stone, like the very heavens in clearness. 11And upon the nobles of the Israelites He laid not His hand [to conceal Himself from them, to rebuke their daring, or to harm them]; but they saw [the manifestation of the presence of] God, and ate and drank.

*A Type of the People of God since Christ now having access to God and to sit in His Council, also of our end-time mandate!

Revelations 12:1 AND A great sign (wonder)--[warning of future events of ominous significance] appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and with a crown like garland (tiara) of twelve stars on her head. 2 She was pregnant and she cried out in her birth pangs, in the anguish of her delivery. 3 Then I witnessed in heaven another significant event. I saw a large red dragon with seven heads and ten horns, with seven crowns on his heads. 4 His tail swept [across the sky] and dragged down a third of the stars and flung them to the earth. And the dragon stationed himself in front of the woman who was about to be delivered, so that he might devour her child as soon as she brought it forth.
*Many fulfillments: Israel becoming a nation; the Church being born at Pentecost; the end-time People of God fulfilling their destinies.

Revelations 15:1 THEN I saw another wonder (sign, token, symbol) in heaven, great and marvelous [warning of events of ominous significance]: There were seven angels bringing seven plagues (afflictions, calamities), which are the last, for with them God's wrath (indignation) is completely expressed [reaches its climax and is ended].

You: You were born for such a time as this!    The Set Time; The Appointed Time; At the Time Appointed.

Acts 7:17-19"When the four hundred years were nearly up, the time God promised Abraham for deliverance, the population of our people in Egypt had become very large. And there was now a king over Egypt who had never heard of Joseph. He exploited our race mercilessly. He went so far as forcing us to abandon our newborn infants, exposing them to the elements to die a cruel death. 20-22"In just such a time Moses was born, a most beautiful baby. He was hidden at home for three months. When he could be hidden no longer, he was put outside—and immediately rescued by Pharaoh's daughter, who mothered him as her own son. Moses was educated in the best schools in Egypt. He was equally impressive as a thinker and an athlete.
Esther 4:14 For if you keep silent at this time, relief and deliverance will rise for the Jews from another place, but you and your father’s house will perish. And who knows whether you have not come to the kingdom for such a time as this?"

Daniel 12:1 [The Time of the End] AND AT that time [of the end] Michael shall arise, the great [angelic] prince who defends and has charge of your [Daniel's] people. And there shall be a time of trouble, straitness, and distress such as never was since there was a nation till that time. But at that time your people shall be delivered, everyone whose name shall be found written in the Book [of God's plan for His own].
(I saw the multitudes of archangels descending from heaven last Sunday night to go all over the earth to stand in many lands.)

Straitness: anguish, despair. The quality or condition of being strait; especially, a pinched condition or situation caused by poverty; as, the straitness of their circumstances. The cross reference of straitness from Daniel 12:1 above is found in:

Revelations 16:18 And there were flashes of lightning, rumblings, peals of thunder, and a great earthquake such as there had never been since man was on the earth, so great was that earthquake.

(The other thing the Lord spoke to me Friday night was: “My Cup Is Poised.”) Significant events will unfold in the earth even more now…

Matthew 26:42 He then left them a second time. Again he prayed, "My Father, if there is no other way than this, drinking this cup to the dregs, I'm ready. Do it your way." TM

Nations: Born for God’s Purposes!      Every nation will give birth in this hour to their end time destiny!! – Sheep or Goat Nations……

Isaiah 66:8 Who has ever seen anything as strange as this? Who ever heard of such a thing? Has a nation ever been born in a single day? Has a country ever come forth in a mere moment? But by the time Jerusalem’s birth pains begin, her children will be born.

Every nation is being weighed in God’s Balances at this time. Sheep nations and Goat nations; A worldwide realignment in process.

Nations will change, Borders will change, Leadership will change, Laws will change, Systems will change their functions, Natural Resources will change, Weather patterns will change, and Lifestyles will change.

Our Security, Faith, and Assurance comes from our unbroken fellowship with the Lord and with each other in every cycle and season.

Philippians 4:10 I was made very happy in the Lord that now you have revived your interest in my welfare after so long a time; you were indeed thinking of me, but you had no opportunity to show it. 11 Not that I am implying that I was in any personal want, for I have learned how to be content (satisfied to the point where I am not disturbed or disquieted) in whatever state I am. 12 I know how to be abased and live humbly in straitened circumstances, and I know also how to enjoy plenty and live in abundance. I have learned in any and all circumstances the secret of facing every situation, whether well-fed or going hungry, having a sufficiency and enough to spare or going without and being in want.

2 Corinthians 9:8 And God is able to make all grace (every favor and earthly blessing) come to you in abundance, so that you may always and under all circumstances and whatever the need be self-sufficient [possessing enough to require no aid or support and furnished in abundance for every good work and charitable donation].

After the meeting tonight, Patrick mentioned that he still wondered about the significance and the meaning of the angel reading the newspaper. That it had to mean something. It then came to Susan that it meant that the angels have longed to look into the things of the end times.

1 Peter 1:10 The prophets, who prophesied of the grace (divine blessing) which was intended for you, searched and inquired earnestly about this salvation. 11 They sought [to find out] to whom or when this was to come which the Spirit of Christ working within them was indicating when He predicted the sufferings of Christ and the glories that should follow [them]. 12 It was then disclosed to them that the services they were rendering were not meant for themselves and their period of time, but for you. [It is these very] things which have now already been made known plainly to you by those who preached the good news (the Gospel) to you by the [same] Holy Spirit sent from heaven. Into these things [the very] angels long to look!

TM- 10-12 The prophets who told us this was coming asked a lot of questions about this gift of life God was preparing. The Messiah's Spirit let them in on some of it—that the Messiah would experience suffering, followed by glory. They clamored to know who and when. All they were told was that they were serving you, you who by orders from heaven have now heard for yourselves—through the Holy Spirit—the Message of those prophecies fulfilled. Do you realize how fortunate you are? Angels would have given anything to be in on this!

Vision Of The Drops Of Oil


We experienced this vision in our Friday night meeting
and the Lord moved powerfully among us all.
We pray this also blesses you.... -Susan

Vision Of The Drops Of Oil

On Friday, 5-27-11, during the evening service at church, I saw many angels enter the meeting bringing a single drop of oil to each person. The drop of oil that the angel carried was very large. It was filled with golden oil. The angel would go up to the person and hand the person the drop of oil. The person would take it and as they held it and they looked into the oil they would each see something. Some people looked into the oil and they saw themselves reflected in the oil. Others saw Jesus’ reflection in the oil. Others saw other things reflected in the oil. The oil reflected and revealed what was in their hearts. When everyone had received the oil and had been showed the condition of their heart, the Lord then spoke again.

Jesus went up to each person and He spoke to each person and said, “Love me more. Let me in your hearts door. I want to ignite your hearts more. I want you to see Me more clearly.”

Then the Lord said, “I have come to set your hearts on fire with My desire. I will cause you to see as I see, and to burn as I burn. My Holy Oil shall overflow, even through you, as you let Me burn all the way through. I have come to pour Myself through you. I have come to ignite you. I have come to live through you anew. My Holy Oil shall pour through My Vessels forever more.”

Fresh Oil

Isaiah 1:6 From the sole of the foot even to the head there is no soundness or health in [the nation's body]--but wounds and bruises and fresh and bleeding stripes; they have not been pressed out and closed up or bound up or softened with new or fresh oil. [No one has troubled to seek a remedy.]  AMP

(The Golden Oil is the Balm of Gilead; the Remedy of Healing for His People.)

Psalms 92:10 But my horn (emblem of excessive strength and stately grace) You have exalted like that of a wild ox; I am anointed with fresh oil.  AMP

Holy Oil

Psalms 89:19 Once You spoke in vision to Your godly ones, And said, “I have given help to one who is mighty; I have exalted one chosen from the people. 20 “I have placed help upon David My servant; With My holy oil I have anointed him, 21 With whom My hand will be established; My arm also will strengthen him. ASV

The Oil is not only a sign of God’s Remedy for us, the source of healing, but also signifies the help He places upon us to deliver us, strengthen us, establish us, and set us in our places.

We will be healed.

We will be strengthened.

We will be helped.

We will be delivered.

We will be anointed.

We will be positioned by God Himself for our purpose.

We will be ignited by God Himself.

We will burn with His Love, His Light, His Desire, and His Holy Fire.

We will see as He sees, and understand as He understands.

We will move as He moves, and accomplish all that He gives us to do, with His help.

We will be His Vessels of Destiny in the earth.
