Transcript: Christian Prophetic Teachings: Hearing God's Trumpet Sound for Spiritual Growth

Will you hear the trumpet sound? The End Will you be one who will hear the midnight cry of your bridegroom? The very one who will be calling you to arise and come upward and meet him in the air? For the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the cloud to meet the Lord in the air. So always through the eternity of eternities we shall be with the Lord. Only those who hear the midnight cry to arise will have that mid-air encounter with Jesus Christ as the shrill sound of the trumpet blasts and calls them upward to meet their bridegroom. The cry and the sound of the trumpet blast kept their lamps full and were habitually doing the work and the will of the one whom they loved. This midnight cry is typically done at Jewish weddings. The weddings were generally celebrated in the night, and they usually began at the rising of the evening star. but dear believer in this case this is not a typical Jewish wedding this is a royal wedding of which none on the earth will ever compare this shout or cry is from the one who has been waiting since he was nailed to the cross with all of yours and my sin all of our guilt and every disgusting sickness was put upon him with the blood pouring down from his beaten body cried out, it is finished. And this cry is the cry that has been pent up. And it has been bottled up and waiting for this very day and this very hour. And at the nod and the word of the release from his father saying, son, it is time to call your bride. It is time to go get her. It is time for the wedding supper of the lamb to begin. The time of waiting for the bridegroom has finished your church And the new beginning of the King of Kings eternal reign With his long awaited bride is soon to happen And when Jesus came into the world The first time it was not with great observation at all The world knew him not But when he comes this time The void of their loved ones being with them one moment and in the next they are gone. They have all disappeared and are nowhere to be found. These who remain will not have heard the cry of the bridegroom calling them upward. They will not have heard the blast of the trumpet or the shout of the archangel. They will not have been privileged to hear Christ's shout to the dead in the tombs in which they lay to arise and come up out of that dark and dank grave. But those who remain on the earth everywhere will see the grave after grave after grave open up and the bodies which once inhabited them will no longer be there. This will not be a mystery because the whole world will know that Jesus has come. They will fill the effects and the void of the Holy Spirit's presence. you see the presence of the Spirit of God filled the temples of those holy waiters whom Jesus Christ called to arise and come up and meet him in the air 1 Corinthians 15.52 declares this shall happen in a moment in the twinkling of an eye at the sound of the last trumpet call The trumpet will sound and the dead in Christ will be raised imperishable and we shall be transformed. At the trumpet sound, all who are alive and those called from the grave and in the twinkling of the Lord's eye will be changed. Yes, they were transformed and have their new incorruptible bodies. and those remaining on the earth shall tremble at the disappearance of those whom they love or knew and with the evidence of the open graves they shall have to endure what remains to be fulfilled in the great and terrible tribulation that will come upon the whole earth. Parents will be frantically looking for their children and husbands will be looking for their wives and wives will be looking for their husbands and brothers and sisters will be searching for their siblings but will not find them anywhere. And many of those who will be frantically searching and are left behind are those who sat in churches all around the world. And many of these people profess to be a follower of Jesus Christ, the very one whom they read about and had heard that he would one day return for those who had kept their lamps filled. carry this burning love in their hearts for their bridegroom. But those whom the Lord came for did. The absolute bliss for those who kept their lamps full of oil was the fact that they shall remain forever with the one whom they loved dearly on the earth. He was their desire. Their desire was to be with their Lord, to live with Him and enjoy His company, and presence forever. This love burned in their hearts while they lived on the earth. The shout that Jesus gave the day that his work was finished on the cross was a victory cry. And this shout or cry that Jesus will have in the coming for his bride is going to be infinitely more glorious because thousands and thousands shall be ministering unto him and thousands of thousands shall stand before him, and the Son of God shall sit down on his throne, and his bride shall be with him, shining in the light of her glory. She is the reflection of the one in whom she loved. This is a glorious day, dear church, and this day when Jesus Christ shall descend from heaven into the mid-region of the earth's atmosphere with pent-up emotion from waiting and anticipating this day for which he knew not until his heavenly father gave him the command and the release to go for his bride. And when he returns, be assured that it will be in all of the dignity and the splendor of his eternal kingly majesty. Will you hear the sound of the trumpet? will you hear the cry of the bridegroom and his command to arise and come upward what a glorious day I cannot help but think and ponder upon this much when all the dead in Christ are raised along with those of us who are living then the trumpet shall be sounded as the signal for us to gather together at the throne of the Lamb of God He who took away the sins of the world and purified those who loved him are permitted to be his bride. Isaiah 53.10 declares, But it was the Lord's good plan. It was his Father's plan to bruise him and fill him with grief. And that is our grief, dear saints. However, when his soul has been made an offering for sin, then he shall have a multitude of children, many heirs, and he shall live again, and God's plan shall prosper in his hands. And when he sees all that is accomplished by the anguish of his soul, he shall be satisfied. And because of what he has experienced, God his Father says, my righteous servant shall make many to be counted righteous before God, for he shall bear all their sins and therefore I will give him the honor of one who is mighty and great because he has poured out his soul unto death and he was counted as a sinner and he bore the sins of many and he pled with God for sinners. The last supper on earth occurred right before Jesus went to the cross and the supper was held with his elected disciples who later became apostles at the last supper Jesus held up a cup and said for this is my blood of the new covenant which ratifies the agreement and is being poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins and I say to you I shall not drink again of the fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it with you new and of superior quality in my Father's kingdom. The blood of Jesus Christ signified and is represented by the wine. And this wine is to make glad any heart that drinks it. Jesus said, I shall not drink again of the fruit of the vine until that day that I drink it with you. He said this wine that he will drink with us will be of superior quality. and it will be in his father's kingdom. This is going to be a time of great joy. And this was speaking of a future state in which those who kept their lamps filled and full of anticipation of the bridegroom's return would share in this wedding banquet in his father kingdom Jesus the King will take great pleasure with all who are seated around the banquet table And this was the joy that was set before him. Each one sitting around that banquet table would be the joy in which he had his eye on and set on as he went to the cross and willingly laid himself on that cross. will you be one who will hear the sound of the Lord's trumpet? We have many, many times discussed Matthew's Gospel in chapter 24. And this is a book where Jesus speaks of his return and gives a warning of the things and events that will happen right before he comes the second time. And some of these things that Jesus mentions will be wars and rumors of wars, and nations will rise up against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. Jesus says further in this Gospel of Matthew 24, that there will be mighty and violent earthquakes in various places, famines and pestilences, plagues, malignant and contagious or infectious epidemic disease, which are deadly and devastating, and there will be sights of terror and great signs from heaven. After Jesus discusses these horrible events and happenings in the book of Matthew's Gospel in 24, he goes on into chapter 25 to discuss the parable which speaks of the preparation of his return. The first parable Jesus talks about are the five wise and five foolish virgins. The five wise virgins were representative of those who had prepared themselves for the wedding banquet while they lived on the earth. They had produced habitual fruit that was in keeping with their initial repentance. They believed the lover of their soul. When he said so kindly to them, he said, love the Lord your God with all of your mind, with all of your heart and soul, with your entire being. She also desired that he keep her the apple of his eye. And she pleaded with him in song of songs to set me like a seal upon your heart, like a seal upon your arm. for your love is as strong as death. Jealousy is as hard and cruel as Sheol in the place of the dead. And it flashes and flashes of fire, a most venomous flame and very flame of the Lord. Many waters cannot quench love, and neither can floods drown it. You see, one who loves the Lord Jesus is saying that the power of this love and the jealousy over it, so guards it that nothing, no, nothing can or will steal or destroy it. Her relationship is found on this love and these verses that nothing can or will extinguish it and that nothing ever will be treated lightly or flippantly. Now, the wise virgins are anxiously awaiting the return of their bridegroom. Now, I said that they were waiting, but this does not mean that they were sitting around eating chocolates and watching soaps on television, or playing computer games, or waiting for the next movie to come out, or deciding what they are going to wear to the next party. No, these have been busy preparing their souls and hearts for Christ, and they have been producing fruit that is in keeping with their initial repentance. the wise virgins are busy about their father's business they are doers of his word they have been growing in their Lord's grace and have not been amongst the ranks of those who have taken his grace lightly and profined his name with their horrible and blatant sins of adultery of fornication, pornography cares of the world distractions with worldly things and they're not ambitious with money or under the desire to have bigger cars, bigger houses, or the next vacation. They're not involved with drugs and alcohol or with pretending to be a follower when in fact they live a secret life behind the scenes. These are the foolish virgins who have deceived themselves into thinking that God loves and accepts them just the way they are. They believed the song that they heard when they went to the altar that said, Oh, come, just the way you are. And they wept in remorse over their sins, not in true repentance at the foot of the altar. And they forgot when they left that altar that they were not to stay the way that they were when they initially went up there to repent of their sins. Well, the parable of the ten virgins is a model or type of example for those who modeled their lives after the dictates of Christ's gospel. The foolish virgins represent those who think that the bridegroom was delayed in coming. So they were careless in the preparation of caring for their souls. And the oil represents the relationship with God's Holy Spirit. These did not keep their lamps full. The lamp represents their soul. The five foolish virgins didn't have extra oil either. They received the warning. In fact, they receive warning after warning to keep their lamps full and to also carry extra oil with them because they didn't need the words of the Lord. But we do not know the day or hour that Jesus will return. But this example, along with all of the other parables in Matthew 25, will give warning to everyone in every generation, showing the necessity of being faithful to God and how we should live in diligence and habitual obedience to Jesus Christ, our bridegroom, every day. The last parable in this chapter tells about the shepherd dividing the sheep from the goats. The sheep are those who are compassionate and have the love of God dwelling in them. The goats, on the other hand, are selfish and careless with their lives in keeping with God's commands. They have no real love of Christ dwelling in them. They are only pretenders of the faith. Now, this parable ends with telling that the sheep will go to heaven, but the goats will end up in hell. Jesus said in his word and has given the ample warning for the saints of God to prepare for his coming. He has said the time will come. And he says, I am coming soon, but people have not believed him. They were foolish, and the awful fate of those left behind will be the ground of separation and everlasting punishment. Dear listener, will you hear the trumpet sound and the call of Jesus Christ when he summons his faithful ones upward? Are you living carelessly and foolishly at this moment? Do you habitually fall back into old and unregenerate ways? Are you faithful and obedient as a child of the king? We are living in the day and hour where things in this world are literally falling apart and are in a place ripe for the return of Jesus Christ. We are at the point in time where Jesus says, If they hated me, they will hate you. Many schools in America right now, the textbooks teach that the use of drugs should be left up to the decision of the student. They teach anti-family values. They promote homosexuality. They teach immorality and encourage sexual conduct and bestiality. And they condemn the notion of a Christian God. And yes, they condemn mention of his name. but God's word tells us there is a prophecy in Joel 2.28 that shall come to pass before the great and terrible day of the Lord you've heard it many times and it shall come to pass after that I will pour out my spirit on all flesh and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy your old men shall dream dreams and your young men shall see visions and also on my men servants and on my maid servants I will pour out my spirit in those days, and I will show wonders in the heavens and in the earth, blood and fire and pillars of smoke, and the sun shall be turned into darkness and the moon into blood before the coming of the great and awesome day of the Lord. On that day, God is going to pour out his spirit upon all people. His spirit will fall upon male and female, upon the faithful ones who are rich and those who are poor. There will be no distinctions, but only those who qualify in that day will be like the wise virgins. They will be in right relationship with the Lord. They will not be pretenders of the faith who wear masks and have willingly deceived themselves. The outpouring of the Holy Spirit will be accompanied by signs and wonders in nature and also by those whom the Lord has poured his anointing upon. The last day outpouring, it will move multitudes in the great white harvest to seek salvation and deliverance from God's righteous judgment. Now I'm going to share with you a vision from a man of God who he used in a powerful way in a revival years ago. The revival that this man experienced was only the tip of the iceberg, so to speak, that we have just read about in Joel 2.28, and also which Peter spoke of as the Spirit was being poured out on the day of Pentecost. This prophecy of the outpouring of God's Holy Spirit was fulfilled in part and not in the fullness of what the prophet had seen, because verse 30 of Joel 2 again declares, I will show wonders in the heavens and on the earth, blood and fire and pillars of smoke. The sun will be turned into darkness and the moon into blood before the coming of the great and awesome day of the Lord. These days Joel saw and was speaking about are the days right before the terrible and great tribulation. And this vision that I share with you, is given by a man whose name is Tommy Hicks. It was a vision of the body of Christ and the ministry that will be taking place at the end times Tommy Hicks was a pastor in Canada and the United States and in 1961 God used this man powerfully in a revival that broke out in Argentina. Tommy Hicks writes concerning the vision of the body of Christ and the end time ministries that will be taking place at that time. He says, my message begins July 25th at about 2.30 in the morning in Winnipeg, Canada. I had hardly fallen asleep when the vision and the revelation that God gave me came before me. The vision came three times exactly in detail the morning of July 25, 1961. I was so stirred and was so moved by the revelation that this has changed my complete outlook upon the body of Christ and upon the end time ministries. The greatest thing that the church of Jesus Christ has ever been given lies straight ahead and is so hard to help men and women to realize and understand the thing that God is trying to give his people in the end times. I received a letter several weeks ago from one of our native evangelists in Nairobi, Africa. This man and his wife were on their way to Tanyanika. They could neither read nor could write. We had been giving them support over two years and they entered into the territory of Tanyanika and came across a small village. The entire village was evacuating because of a plague that had hit the village. And he came across natives that were weeping, and he asked them what was going on. And they told him of their mother and father who had suddenly died, and they had been dead for three days. They had to leave. They were afraid to go. They were leaving them in the cottage. The evangelist turned and asked them where the parents were, and they pointed to the hut and asked them to go with him, but they refused. They were afraid to go. The native and his wife went to the little cottage and entered in where the man and woman had been dead for three days. He stretched forth his hand in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and spoke the man and woman's name and said, in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, I command life to come back to your bodies. Instantly, These two heathen people, who had never known Jesus Christ as their Savior, sat up and immediately began to praise God. The Spirit and the power of God came into the life of those people. To us that may seem strange and a phenomenon, but that is the beginning of these end-time ministries. God is going to take the do-nothings, the nobodies, the unheard-of, the no-accounts, counts and he is going to take every man and every woman and he is going to give to them this outpouring of the Spirit of God. In the book of Acts, we read in the last days, God said, I will pour my Spirit out upon all flesh. And I wonder if we realize what he meant when God said, I will pour out my Spirit upon all flesh. I do not think I fully realize nor could I understand the fullness of it. And then I read from the book of Joel, be glad then ye children of Zion and rejoice in the Lord your God for he hath given you power, you the former rain moderately and he will cause to come down for you the rain, the former rain and the latter rain. It is not only going to be the rain, the former rain and the latter rain, but he is going to give to his people in these last days a double portion of the power of God. As the vision appeared to me after I was asleep, I suddenly found myself in a great height, a great distance where I was. I do not know, but I was looking down upon the earth, and suddenly the whole earth came into my view. Every nation, every kindred, every tongue came before my sight from the east and the west, from the north and the south. I recognized every country and many cities that I had been in, and I was almost in fear and trembling as I beheld the great sight before me, and that moment when the world came into view, it began to lightning and thunder, and as the thunder flashed over the face of the earth, my eyes went downward, and I was facing the north. Suddenly, I beheld what looked like a great giant. And I stared and looked at what I was almost bewildered by the sight. It was so gigantic and so great. His feet seemed to reach to the North Pole and his head to the south. And his arms were stretched from sea to sea. And I could not even begin to understand whether this be a mountain or this be a giant. But as I watched, I suddenly beheld a great giant. I could see his head was struggling for life he wanted to live but his body was covered with debris from head to foot and at times this great giant would move his body and act as though it would even rise up at times and when it did thousands of little creatures seemed to run away when he would become calm they would come back all of a sudden this great giant lifted his hand towards heaven and then it lifted its other hand and when it did these creatures by the thousands seemed to flee away from this giant and go into the darkness of the night. Slowly this great giant began to rise and when he did its head and hands went into the clouds and as he rose to his feet he seemed to have cleansed himself from the debris and filth that was upon him and he began to raise his hands to the heavens as though he were praising the Lord. And as he raised his hands, they went even higher into the clouds. And suddenly every cloud became silver, the most beautiful silver I have ever known. As I watched this phenomenon, it was so great. I could not even begin to understand what it all meant. I was so stirred as I watched it. I cried unto the Lord and said, Oh Lord, what is the meaning of this and I felt as if I were actually in the spirit and could feel the presence of the Lord even as I was asleep and from those clouds suddenly there came great drops of liquid light raining down upon this mighty giant and slowly slowly this giant began to melt began to sink into the very earth itself and as he melted his whole form seemed to have melted upon the face of the earth and this great rain began to come down. Liquid drops of light began to flood the earth itself and as I watched this giant that seemed to melt suddenly it became millions of people all over the face of the earth. I beheld the sight before me. People stood up all over the world. They were lifting their hands and they were praising the Lord. At that very moment there came a great thunder that seemed to roar from the heavens. And I turned my eyes towards the heavens, and suddenly I saw a figure in white, in glistening white, the most glorious thing that I have ever seen in my entire life. I did not see the face, but somehow I knew it was the Lord Jesus Christ. And he stretched forth his hand, and as he did, he would stretch it forth to one and to another and to another. And as he stretched forth his hand upon the nations and the people of the world, men and women, as he pointed towards them, this liquid light seemed to flow from his hands unto them, and a mighty anointing of God came upon them, and these people began to go forth in the name of the Lord. I do not know how long I watched it. It seemed it went into days and weeks and months, and I beheld this Christ as he continued to stretch forth his hand but then suddenly there was a tragedy there were many people as he stretched forth his hand who refused the anointing of God and the call of God I saw men and women that I knew people I felt would certainly receive the call of God but as he stretched forth his hand towards this one and towards that one they simply bowed their head and began to back away and each one of those that seemed to bow down and back away seemed to go into the darkness. Blackness seemed to swallow them everywhere. I was bewildered at these people that he had anointed, hundreds of thousands of people all over the world in Africa, England, Russia, China, America, all over the world. The anointing of God was upon these people as they went forth in the name of the Lord. I saw these men and women as they went forth. They were ditch diggers. They were washer women. They were rich men. They were poor men. I saw people who were bound with paralysis and sickness and blindness and deafness. And as the Lord stretched forth his hand to give them this anointing, they became well. They became healed. And they went forth. And this is the miracle of it all. This is the glorious miracle of it all. Those people would stretch forth their hands exactly as the Lord did, and it seemed as if there was the same liquid fire in their hands. As they stretched forth their hands, they gave the word of the Lord, saying, According to my word, thou shalt be made whole. As these people continued in this mighty end-time anointing, I did not realize what it was. And I looked to the Lord and I said, What is the meaning of this? and he said this is that which I will do in the last days I will restore all they have destroyed these are my people in the end times and they will go forth and as a mighty army shall they sweep over the face of the earth as I was at this great height I could behold the whole world I watched these people as they were going to and fro over the face of the earth Suddenly, there was a man in Africa in one moment, and he was transported by the Spirit of God, and perhaps he was in Russia or China or America or some other place and vice versa. All over the world, these people went, and they came through fire and through pestilence and through famine. Neither fire nor persecution, nothing seemed to stop them. Angry mobs came up to them with swords and with guns, and like Jesus, they passed through the multitudes and could not find them, but they went forth in the name of the Lord, and everywhere they stretched forth their hands the sick were healed and blind eyes were opened There was not a long prayer After I had reviewed the vision many times in my mind and I thought about it many times I realized that I never saw a church. I never saw or heard of a denomination. But these were people. These were going in the name of the Lord of hosts. Hallelujah. As they marched forth in everything they did as a ministry of Christ in the end times, these people were ministering to the multitudes over the face of the earth. Tens of thousands, even millions, seemed to come to the Lord Jesus Christ as these people stood forth, gave the message of the kingdom, of the coming kingdom, in this last hour. it was so glorious but it seemed as though there were those who rebelled and they would become angry and they tried to attack those workers that were giving this message God is going to give the world a demonstration in this last hour as the world is never known these men and women are of all walks of life and degrees will mean nothing I saw these workers as they were going over the face of the earth when one would stumble and fall another would come and pick them up and there was no big I and a little U but every mountain was brought blow and every valley was exalted and they seemed to have one thing in common. There was a divine love, a divine love that seemed to flow forth from these people as they worked together and as they lived together. It was the most glorious sight that I have ever known. Jesus Christ was the theme of their life. And it seemed the days went by as I stood and beheld the sight. I could only cry and sometimes I laughed. It was so wonderful as these people went throughout the face of the earth, bringing forth in this last end time. I watched from the very heaven itself. And there were times when great delusion of this liquid light seemed to fall upon the great congregations and the congregations would lift up their hands and seemingly praise God for hours and even days as the Spirit of God came upon them. God said, I will pour out my Spirit upon all flesh, and that is exactly this thing. And to every man and every woman that has received this power and the anointing of God, the miracles of God, there was no ending to it. We have talked about miracles. We have talked about signs and wonders, but I could not help but weep as I read again this morning at 4 o'clock in the morning the letter from one of our native workers. This is only the evidence of the beginning of one man, a do-nothing and unheard of, who would go out and stretch forth his hand and say, In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, I command life to flow into your body. I dropped to my knees and began to pray again I said oh Lord I know this time is coming soon and then again as these people were going about the face of the earth a great persecution seemed to come from every angle suddenly there was another great clap of thunder that seemed to resound around the whole world and I heard again the voice the voice that seemed to speak now this is my people this is my beloved bride and when the voice spoke I looked upon the earth and I could see the lakes and the mountains the graves were opened and the people from all over the world the saints of all ages seemed to be rising and as they rose from the grave suddenly these people came from every direction from the east and the west and from the north and the south they seemed to be forming again into this giant body As the dead in Christ seemed to be rising first, I could hardly comprehend it. It was so marvelous. It was so far beyond anything I could ever dream or think of. But as this body suddenly began to form and take shape, it took shape again in the form of this mighty giant. But this time it was different. It was arrayed in the most beautiful, gorgeous white. Its garments were without spot or wrinkle, and its body began to form. And the people of all ages seemed to be gathered into this body. And slowly, slowly it began to form up into the very heavens. And suddenly, from the heavens above, the Lord Jesus Christ came and became the head. And I heard another clap of thunder that said, This is my beloved bride for whom I have waited. And she will come forth even tried by fire. This is she that I have loved from the beginning of time. And as I watched, my eyes suddenly turned to the far north in destruction, men and women in anguish and crying out in buildings and destruction. And then I heard again the fourth voice that said, now this is my wrath being poured out upon the face of the earth and from the ends of the whole earth the wrath of God seemed to be poured out and it seemed that there were great vials of God's wrath being poured out upon the whole face of the earth now I can remember it as though it happened only a moment ago I shook and trembled as I beheld the awful sight of seeing the cities the whole nations going down into destruction. I could hear the weeping and wailing. I could hear people crying. They seemed to cry as they went into the caves, and the caves in the mountains opened up. They leaped into the water, but the water would not drown them. There was nothing that could destroy them. They were wanting to take their lives, but they could not. And I turned my eyes to this glorious sight, this body arrayed in beautiful white shining garments, and slowly, slowly began to lift from the earth, and as it did, I awoke. I had beheld. I had seen the end-time ministries in the last hour. Again on July 27th at 2.30 in the morning, the same revelation, the same vision came again exactly as it did before. My life has been changed as I realized that we are living in the end times for all over the world God is anointing men and women with ministry. And it will not be a doctrine. It will not be churchianity. It is going to be all about Jesus Christ. And they will give forth the word of the Lord and are going to say, I heard it so many times according to my word it shall be done. Dear Church, I personally believe that God had given this man a vision and a prophetic view of what we will see in part fulfilled in the fullness of what Joel the prophet had seen and wrote about. Fulfillment of Joel 2.28 in fullness has never happened in the history of the Church. The great outpouring of the Holy Spirit upon sons and daughters to prophesy, to pray and exhort and to instruct so to benefit and impact Christ's church and his kingdom has not yet happened in fullness, but it is very soon to come. The fulfillment of God's spirit being poured out on old men to dream dreams, to bring direct inspiration to multitudes has not happened yet in fullness, but is very soon to come. fulfillment of young men having and seeing visions and having God's power to impress upon their spirit that those things he shows them will be too astounding and believable to say they came and originated from their minds has not yet happened in fullness but yet is very soon to come and this is all going to take place before the Lord comes and gives that midnight cry and the trumpet call to arise and come upward. This great outpouring of God's precious Holy Spirit will be one of great conviction upon a guilty world, and they shall tremble in fear because they refused him. This outpouring of God's Holy Spirit will be comfortable and natural for the righteous, but the unrighteous, the unwise, foolish virgins who pretended Christianity will hear about this and they will tremble in fright and will cry out, Oh Lord, we prophesied in your name. I healed the sick in your name. I preached in your name. I did nice things for people in your name. And this is a day and a time where all true and faithful Christians who are now living, whether you have the opportunity to serve the one whom their hearts love in a way that has never yet been fulfilled in fullness. This great outpouring of God's precious Holy Spirit on this sick and dying world is to convict it of its sin and guilt. And only those who hear the midnight cry to arise will have the privilege of the prophesied mid-air encounter with Jesus Christ which is coming very soon. The cry of Jesus Christ and the shrill sound of the trumpet blast will be heard only by those who have ears to hear him and who have kept their lamps full and were habitually doing the will of their bridegroom. Will you hear the trumpet sound? Will you be one who will hear the midnight cry of your bridegroom, the very one who will be calling you to arise and come up to meet him in the air? Is your life at this time and juncture of your salvation proving worthy of the Lord's call to meet him in the air and hear the very last trumpet that will be sounded on the earth before the coming of the bridegroom? Will you hear the trumpet sound? Thank you.
