In this decade will come the ‘greatest financial collapse’ in the history, the ‘greatest war’ and the ‘greatest move of God’. However, this will not be the time of the Mark Of The Beast, nor Armageddon, nor the great end times harvest, for we are only at the beginning of the end and not at the end. It will be the ‘best of times and the worst of times’, for it will be the season of the double blessing, yet their will also be great judgement, apocalypse, catastrophe and sorrow. Judgment will come like the destruction of the Twin Towers; the financial system will be greatly shaken and the peace will be greatly shaken. Out of great tragedy will come a great move of God.

The season of grace, God’s favour is ending. On Jewish New Year 2002 (07 September 2002), we will be entering the season of judgment, cursing, shaking and sorrow. This new season will begin with an escalation in natural disasters, terrorism and financial upheavals, but it will not be that bad in the beginning, for God is loving and merciful and is giving us more time to repent.

As America and the world begins to ‘wash their hands’ of Israel, there will come a great collapse in the America dollar, the stock market and the property market. Because of a mistake in judgment by America (the president), the wrath of the nations will come against America. This will mark the beginning of a sudden and dramatic economic collapse, that America will never fully recover from. The sphere of influence will shift from America to Europe. Economic disaster will engulf the whole world.

In this weakened state, their is coming a war between the East and the West. The Islamic and Communist nations will go to war with America and the European Economic Community. This will be World War Three. America will be caught off guard, with much of it’s military force overseas, in peace keeping roles. In the end, the world will blame Israel for starting this war. The war will be a time of great preparation and sacrifice; it will either develop in us ‘character’ and an ‘excellent spirit’ (whether we are enlisted or not) or it will kill us and / or devastate us.

We will see the Holy Spirit come, in a realm of glory, as in Solomon’s times and as in Act 2. It will bring a measure of blessing, to those of us who have found our appointed place in the Kingdom, the Joseph ’s and to those of us who have a heart for Israel. God will put resources in our hands, not to use on our extravagance and excesses, but as a resource, for the lean years of judgement ahead. Towards the end of the decade, out of great tragedy, will come a great move of God. As the realm of glory falls, our Father will pour out His 'Father heart of love' and we will see 'great signs and wonders' and the Kingdom will be greatly advanced. At the end of the decade, the realm of glory will grow in momentum and multitudes will be translated into the Kingdom. More will be brought into the Kingdom, than in any at any other time in history.

In this season, prior to Jewish New Year 2002, we have been able to partake of the blessings of Deuteronomy 28:1-14. We are now coming into the season of judgment. Prepare now, by release all to our heavenly Father. As we intimately abide in our Father’s rest, through Christ, we will be translated in a realm of glory, by the Holy Spirit, into His Kingdom. As we are translated into the Kingdom, we continually come into the blessing of Deuteronomy 28:1-14, in spite of external circumstances. If we are unable or unwilling to release all to our heavenly Father or unable to come into intimacy with Him or to find His rest, we will languish in the coming judgement and curse of Deuteronomy 28:15-68, like the Israelite. This time prior to Jewish New Year 2002 is as the time before Noah entered the safety and rest of the ark. Noah is rest and means rest. After Jewish New Year 2002 it will be like the time of the flood, with great judgement, cursing, shaking and upheavals coming upon the earth.

They ate, they drank, they married, they were given in marriage, until the day when Noah entered the ark, and the flood came and destroyed them all (Luke 17:26).

After Jewish New Year 2002, we enter deeper into ‘the beginning of the end’:

And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars; see that you are not alarmed; for this must take place, but the end is not yet. For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and there will be famines and earthquakes in various places: all this is but the beginning of the birth-pangs (Mathew 24:6 - 8).

Most of us are unprepared for this season of great judgement, for we are still trying to save our life, by trying to find blessing. Regrettably, all we will get is judgement, shaking and leanness of soul, for our heart is in the wrong place. Our heart is not wholly released to our Father.

Much of the Church will collapse this decade, as our Father shakes everything that can be shaken, for He cannot put new wine in old wine skins. Our Father will sovereignly begins to build’s His new Church, a glorious Church, where Jew and Gentiles will become one, a Church that will know not only Christ, but also will intimately rest in our Father’s love and forgiveness. Many will come out of the existing Church, cults and other religions, into the new Church. Out of intimacy with our Father, will come a glorious realm of signs and wonder, greater than was seen in the Former Rain.

As we abide in our Father’s rest, we will find a haven in Him, a place of His safety. As we release all to our heavenly Father, we will be translated into the Kingdom, into a completely new way of living. As we break the spirit of fear, dread and terror off our lives, in the name of Jesus Christ, we will come into our Father’s peace that surpasses understanding and His joy as new wine. As we abide in our Father’s rest, our hopelessness will be turned into His hope, our turmoil will be turned to His peace and our sadness will be turned into His joy.
