THE WINDS OF STRIFE ARE LOOSENING

ARE YOU READY FOR TRANSLATION?

By Dionne Sabbay Thompson November 1, 2012 ALERT! Have you been daily praying, asking CHRIST to take full control of your soul, causing you to rest in perfect harmony with HIM? If not, then you are placing your life at-risk for eternal loss, as a serious storm lies directly ahead, involving the 7 LAST PLAGUES, JACOB'S TIME OF TROUBLE - Jer. 30:7, Dan. 12:1.

SATAN THE TYRANNOUS DESTROYER Have you noticed that more recently, natural disasters are occurring at an

increased rate, causing many to lose track of globalized Breaking News? Undoubtedly we are living in serious end-timessuch times have never been witnessed before in New York City and its neighboring Tristates history. Hurricane Sandy, with gushing winds of up to 90 miles per hour recently devastated the Northeastern coasts: New York City, New Jersey and Connecticut, just to mention a few. Undisputed, the Manhattan MTA system was completely disabled by this furious churning hurricane. It was reported that Sandy, with its unprecedented surge, was felt as far as Toronto, Canada. New Jerseys: Atlantic City, Long Beach Island, Seaside Heights among other shore towns were left with gallons of disastrous water deposits. Sadly, many who failed to timely evacuate were sealed in their doom. To date, the Frankenstorms death toll within the United States of America is reported to be in or about 81 precious lost-lives. Let us keep praying, hoping that the masses view this unfortunate experience as a need to accept CHRIST today, as a personal SAVIOR John 14:6. While appearing to the children of men as a great physician who can heal all their maladies, he will bring disease and disaster, until populous cities are reduced to ruin and desolation. Even now he is at work. In accidents and calamities by sea and by land, in great conflagrations, in fierce tornadoes and terrific hailstorms, in tempests, floods, cyclones, tidal waves, and earthquakes, in every place and in a thousand forms, Satan is exercising his power. He sweeps away the ripening harvest, and famine and distress follow. He imparts to the air a deadly taint, and thousands perish by the pestilence. These visitations are to become more and more frequent and disastrous. Destruction will be upon both man and beast.1

CHRIST THE RESTORER AND PROTECTOR

Thankfully, GOD has promised that HE will preserve HIS chosen remnant. Revelation 7 reminds us that there are four angels at the four corners of the earth: east, west, north and south, holding back the winds of strife until the Servants of GOD are sealed in their foreheads Rev. 7:1-4. At the direction of the HOLY SPIRIT, GOD is calling many out of the cities, individually; however, there is still work left to be done within the cities, and GOD will preserve those who are actively at-work, calling precious souls out of spiritual Babylon see Rev. 18:1-4. Babylon generally represents confusion, and since GOD is not an AUTHOR of confusion (1Cor. 14:33), Babylon and its dysfunction operates under the will of the destructive Adversary, Satan. Being justified by faith, we must continue in obedience, building and refining a character of God Exo. 20. Mirroring the image of the Messiah, we must have Him formed fully in us, being found blameless and faultless Gal. 4:19, 1Thess. 5:23, Jude 24,25. We must emphasize to both believers and non-believers the need to evacuate Babylon, before the world's probation closure Rev. 18:1-4, Rev. 22:11. Teaching the

Three Angels messages to ..."every nation kindred tongue and people" is essential Rev. 14:6-12. BE READY, BE READY, BE READY! CHRIST and HIS kingdom of glory are poised to return, once GODs remnant are securely sealed. Receiving God's symbolic sealing in our foreheads is our ultimate goal, as the 144,000 Rev 14:1. The 7th-day Sabbath is a visible manifestation of God's Sealing Truth Eze. 20:12. As God's righteous Loud Cry messengers, it is imperative that we keep the faith while sharing end-time Truth to all regarding the Godhead and its Power, Wisdom and Love Deut. 6:4; Prov. 8:22-36; John 1:1-3,14; Rom. 1:16,17,20; 5:1-5. Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus Rev. 14:12. The people of God must understand the seriousness of present times.2 As we prepare for the Latter Rain, embracing the return of Christ, sincere believers must focus on becoming harvest ripe, perfecting Christ-like characters. The Ten Commandments, a legal and binding heavenly governmental ordinance, will be a last day constitutional mandate, maintained by God's chosen Exo. 20, Rev. 14:12.
