This blog is dedicated to show that the coming of the Lord is very near.
"Though no man knoweth the day nor the hour, we are instructed and required (for it is in the imperative) to know when it is near, even at the doors. And we are further taught that it will be as fatal to us to disregard his warning, and refuse or neglect to know, as it was for those who lived in the days of Noah not to know when the flood was coming. {Matthew 24: 37-39}. And verses 44-51 show in what light Christ, when He comes, will regard and reward those whom he finds watching and teaching his coming, and those denying it. “Blessed are those servants, whom the Lord when he cometh shall find watching." Luke 12:37. [The Spirit of Prophecy Vol 4 Pg 496.2]
There are specific guidelines to interpreting prophecy that are tried and true that makes the interpretation historically significant, and what makes the Historicist interpretation perfect. By the fulfillment of prophecies throughout history we are given the key to comprehend unfulfilled prophecies, and when these guidelines are applied similar prophetic images of the future can be interpreted.
What is not given by God to be seen will not be given until the prophecy is fulfilled. No one knows the time of the Lords coming, or the outpouring of the Holy Spirit in the Latter rain, but Jesus Himself said we will know by the signs when the season for the fig tree to put forth its fruit has arrived. As a sign other prophecies not associated with "definite time" can be seen being fulfilled today.
The reason this is important is because the fulfillment of prophecy is the only proof that will be given that the people of God have been led by the true God. There is no compromise in truth for those watching for the return of their Lord. If we are corrected, we see the perfection in it and thank God for the correction.
Everyone here must know by now that I claim to have been led directly to the Seventh Day Adventist Church with no help from any man, only by being led by the Holy Spirit. God showed me the Sabbath by giving me a vision, then led me to the SDA church, then led me to the writings of Mrs White, which had the same symbolic language as the dreams and visions that God gave me. This has been an established pattern in my walk of faith. God leads me to the thought and then proves it through His word. But He doesn't give me the information all at once. He gives me very important key elements that can be discovered in the bible and writings of Mrs White, then leads me on a journey of discovery. I see the vision, then learn the meaning inside the bible, and the Spirit of Prophecy shows where other parts of scripture support the vision. Then everything harmonizes and I can say with confidence that the LORD led me to the conclusion. It becomes proven to my heart.
One of the ways God speaks to me is by hearing a brother or sister speak in faith, or a pastor give a sermon, and the Holy Spirit connects things in my mind and illuminates the words spoken, then just like He does for the visions or dreams He gives, He motivates me to prove it.
I was watching a video from Pastor Walter Veith called "Mordechai in the Gates" and in it he mentioned something that the Holy Spirit illuminated. He quoted Joel Chapters 1-2 and summarized by saying "I'm not time setting, I'm only pointing this out" then he proceeded to show that the prophecy of Joel is pointing specifically to the fifth generation since the Midnight Cry. God showed me right then that we are the fifth Generation since the Midnight Cry of 1844 and the prophecy of Joel is about to be fulfilled.
This blog is dedicated to the research God has led me to in support of what He showed me that day.
Just as in other prophetic situations when God gave me specific elements to study and only in the fulfillment could it be perfectly seen, (the retirement of the seventh king of Revelation 17, Pope Benedict XVI ) I have been inspired that this is a similar situation. God is pleading with us to wake up to look for the conclusion.
There is an apparent paradox from Mrs White regarding the fulfillment of these end time biblical prophecies. In one writing she says, "We are not to know the definite time either for the outpouring of the Holy Spirit or for the coming of Christ", but in another writing she says “The first and second watches are past. We are in the third watch, waiting and watching for the Master’s return. There remains but a little period of watching now.” So which is it? Are we to know the proximity of the second coming of Christ in the last days or not? Of course we should. Both of these writings are correct. It is the exact time of His arrival that will not be known until the Latter Rain prophecy is fulfilled and the day and the hour are spoken by God.
It appears that God told us the timing of the events that will proceed the Latter Rain in the prophecy of the revelation of the man of sin.
Joel was shown that there would be four generations where the fruit of the Spirit would be decimated by errors in scriptural advancement before the end; eaten by the worm. But in the fifth Generation that which was destroyed would be restored.
1844 was when the judgment of the dead began, and in the time of the fourth generation is when judgment would begin for the living church, and then the fifth generation is when everything is restored and the coming of the Lord.
From the starting point of 1844 we add 4 Generations which would end in 2004. I was praying about this and was led right to this quote; “In the fourth generation they shall come hither again: for the iniquity of the AMORITES is not yet full.” {Gen 15:16}. In 1844 the judgment of the dead began, and this prophecy says that four generations later judgment began for the living church. It just so happens that in that fourth generation since the Midnight cry was the event that God showed me was the beginning of judgment for the living, the day of the attacks on America on Sept 11, 2001. (See: http://godheldthefourwinds.blogspot.com/2011/12/911-god-held-four-wiinds.html) I saw that vision over 13 years before I ever heard of the five Generations of Joel.
Then just like Balik from Moab witnessing how God delivered His people, sending a prophet to curse Israel, and sending in harlots right before their entering the Promised land, the next group prophesied to oppose the remnant are the Protestants from America itself.
The Moabites were those who tried to destroy the children of God as they were about to enter the Promised Land. Entering the Promised Land of Judea is a proven typology of the end time people being lead to the promised land of heaven. After failing to curse Israel by Balaam, he gave the Moabites the idea to send beautiful heathen women into the camp of the saints to lure the men of God into being unequally yoked to unbelievers, causing them to worship their gods. This is analogous to the false doctrines and influence of Protestant "daughter" churches destroying the fruit of the Spirit inside God's end time church for the past four generations.
Balak of Moab had seen what the God of Israel did for His people against the Amorites and he feared and plotted against them. Then God told Moses "don't worry for I have given him into your hand, and all his people, and his land. And you shall do to him as you did to Sihon king of the Amorites" so these two events are vitally connected.
I searched the Writings of Sister White to see if this text is connected with any important end time prophecies and man was I rewarded for that search!!! I discovered that this quote is in several of her writings in chapters with titles like "The Seal of God" and "preparing for the judgment"! You will not believe what you are about to read! Please keep the information above in mind while reading this quote…
The attacks on New York were at the end of the fourth generation since 1844 and that is when God told me that the four winds of Revelation 7 were held and the sealing of the 144,000 began. The Amorites are a type that represents the Catholic Church who holds the cup in Revelation 17, and the Moabites are analogous to the Protestant Churches, the daughters that follow the mother and it's doctrines attempting to corrupt God's people.
The cup of the iniquities from false doctrines that have entered the church will reach it's fullness when they proclaim the fourth commandment can be changed by national laws. They were given four generations since 1844 to submit to the authority of scripture but refused, and the fall of the towers in New York were a sign that Babylon has fallen again, but this time she is taking her 'daughters' with her.
But we are not going to know exactly what time the Lord will end judgment or come to get us. But we know we are that last generation.
We are now at the beginning of the second watch of the 5th generation but He could come in the third or fourth watch. Be ready!What is not given by God to be seen will not be given until the prophecy is fulfilled. No one knows the time of the Lords coming, or the outpouring of the Holy Spirit in the Latter rain, but Jesus Himself said we will know by the signs when the season for the fig tree to put forth its fruit has arrived. As a sign other prophecies not associated with "definite time" can be seen being fulfilled today.
"Surely the Lord God will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets." Amos 3:7Inside the words that God gave Mrs White are lessons that have been given to prepare the 144,000 to proclaim the loud Cry to the world. Nothing in her writings contradicts God in any way, and just as in scripture, everything God wrote through her has an agenda in the preparation of end time people of God...everything!
The reason this is important is because the fulfillment of prophecy is the only proof that will be given that the people of God have been led by the true God. There is no compromise in truth for those watching for the return of their Lord. If we are corrected, we see the perfection in it and thank God for the correction.

The Paradox
There is an apparent paradox from Mrs White regarding the fulfillment of these end time biblical prophecies. In one writing she says, "We are not to know the definite time either for the outpouring of the Holy Spirit or for the coming of Christ", but in another writing she says “The first and second watches are past. We are in the third watch, waiting and watching for the Master’s return. There remains but a little period of watching now.” So which is it? Are we to know the proximity of the second coming of Christ in the last days or not? Of course we should. Both of these writings are correct. It is the exact time of His arrival that will not be known until the Latter Rain prophecy is fulfilled and the day and the hour are spoken by God.
It appears that God told us the timing of the events that will proceed the Latter Rain in the prophecy of the revelation of the man of sin.
"Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition". 2 Thessalonians 2:3
The man of sin was identified as the Pope during the Dark Ages, but the fulfillment of the eighth King prophecy points to a specific pope who will lead the world to perdition. (See; Who is the Anti-Christ? The Eighth King of Revelation 17!). I am thoroughly convicted that this event, the revelation of the man of sin, will be the sign that we are to look for that will coincide with the end of probation for the church and will happen just before the Outpouring of the Latter Rain. So the date of the Latter rain is not foretold, but the event that proceeds it may have been.
"As foretold in the eighteenth of Revelation, the third angel’s message is to be proclaimed with great power by those who give the final warning against the beast and his image."—Testimonies for the Church 8:118 (1904)
The Biblical Prophecy in Question is Joel 1-2
1:2 Hear this, ye old men, and give ear, all ye inhabitants of the land. Hath this been in your days, or even in the days of your fathers?
(Pointing to the future from the time the prophecy was received. Elements of this prophecy point specifically to the midnight cry of 1844)
3 Tell ye your children of it, and let your children tell their children, and their children another generation.
(5 generations after the Midnight Cry)
4 That which the palmerworm hath left hath the locust eaten; and that which the locust hath left hath the cankerworm eaten; and that which the cankerworm hath left hath the caterpiller eaten.
(In these four generations there is a loss of the fruit of the Spirit in the church until it is almost non-existent)
5 Awake, ye drunkards, and weep; and howl, all ye drinkers of wine, because of the new wine; for it is cut off from your mouth.
(End of probation; being cut off from the Holy Spirit)
6 For a nation is come up upon my land, strong, and without number, whose teeth are the teeth of a lion, and he hath the cheek teeth of a great lion.
(This event of verse six is what we need to watch for. The fullness of this prophecy will be in the time appointed further in the prophecy.) (This is the way the Book of Joel begins, then it tells us what we should do when the time arrives...)
14 Sanctify ye a fast, call a solemn assembly, gather the elders and all the inhabitants of the land into the house of the Lord your God, and cry unto the Lord,
(The apostles in the upper room waiting for the Early Rain was a solemn assembly time prophecy, so was the Midnight Cry of 1844. They knew they should be waiting for the promise just as we in the end do, but how can we call a solemn assembly if we do not know the time of this fulfillment?)
15 Alas for the day! for the day of the Lord is at hand, and as a destruction from the Almighty shall it come.
2:1 Blow ye the trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm in my holy mountain: let all the inhabitants of the land tremble: for the day of the Lord cometh, for it is nigh at hand;
(Again and again this same prophecy points to an event that leads the people of God to proclaim that prophecy has been fulfilled and the coming of the Lord is very near.)
2 A day of darkness and of gloominess, a day of clouds and of thick darkness, as the morning spread upon the mountains: a great people and a strong; there hath not been ever the like, neither shall be any more after it, even to the years of many generations.
3 A fire devoureth before them; and behind them a flame burneth: the land is as the garden of Eden before them, and behind them a desolate wilderness; yea, and nothing shall escape them.
(This talking about the sealing of the end time people of God, the 144,000, who will proclaim the truth in the Loud Cry and hasten the coming of the Lord.)
25 And I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten, the cankerworm, and the caterpiller, and the palmerworm, my great army which I sent among you. (144,000)
28 And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions:
29 And also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out my spirit.
Peter claimed this was partially fulfilled in the Day of Pentecost when the Early rain fell and they had tongues of fire dance on their foreheads and men of every language could understand what they were preaching. And the Pioneers of the SDA church claimed this was partially fulfilled in the Midnight Cry of 1844, but it will reach its full potential in the outpouring of the Latter Rain in the very last days.
"If this prophecy of Joel met a partial fulfillment in the days of the apostles, we are living in a time when it is to be even more evidently manifest to the people of God. He will so bestow His Spirit upon His people that they will become a light amid the moral darkness; and great light will be reflected in all parts of the world. O that our faith might be increased, that the Lord might work mightily with His people". (Manuscript 49, 1908)
2:1 Blow ye the trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm in my holy mountain: let all the inhabitants of the land tremble: for the day of the Lord cometh, for it is nigh at hand;
3 A fire devoureth before them; and behind them a flame burneth: the land is as the garden of Eden before them, and behind them a desolate wilderness; yea, and nothing shall escape them.
28 And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions:
29 And also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out my spirit.
Joel was shown that there would be four generations where the fruit of the Spirit would be decimated by errors in scriptural advancement before the end; eaten by the worm. But in the fifth Generation that which was destroyed would be restored.
1844 was when the judgment of the dead began, and in the time of the fourth generation is when judgment would begin for the living church, and then the fifth generation is when everything is restored and the coming of the Lord.
From the starting point of 1844 we add 4 Generations which would end in 2004. I was praying about this and was led right to this quote; “In the fourth generation they shall come hither again: for the iniquity of the AMORITES is not yet full.” {Gen 15:16}. In 1844 the judgment of the dead began, and this prophecy says that four generations later judgment began for the living church. It just so happens that in that fourth generation since the Midnight cry was the event that God showed me was the beginning of judgment for the living, the day of the attacks on America on Sept 11, 2001. (See: http://godheldthefourwinds.blogspot.com/2011/12/911-god-held-four-wiinds.html) I saw that vision over 13 years before I ever heard of the five Generations of Joel.
"Keeping mercy for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, and that will by no means clear the guilty; visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, and upon the children's children, unto the third and to the fourth generation. Exodus 34:7, 20:5, Numbers 14:18, Deuteronomy 5:9.So what happens after the fourth Generation? Everything that has been lost or forgotten in truth will be restored by God's Spirit in the Latter Rain.
Amorite Catholics, and Moabite Protestants
Numbers 21:34 But the Lord said to Moses, “Do not fear him, for I have given him into your hand, and all his people, and his land. And you shall do to him as you did to Sihon king of the Amorites, who lived at Heshbon.”The Amorites were the first to fight God's people on their way to the promised land and God protected Israel and gave them victories. But the Amorites were not destroyed completely because God saw that there were some who could be saved. Their cup of iniquity had not reached it's fullness. This is just like the Catholics trying to destroy the Sabbath Keepers and Protestants in the Dark Ages and God preserving the people of God and calling those who do love God out of the fallen church.
Then just like Balik from Moab witnessing how God delivered His people, sending a prophet to curse Israel, and sending in harlots right before their entering the Promised land, the next group prophesied to oppose the remnant are the Protestants from America itself.
I saw the Mother of Harlots; that the mother was not the daughters, but separate and distinct from them. She has had her day, and it is past, and her daughters, the Protestant sects, were the next to come on the stage and act out the same mind that the mother had when she persecuted the saints. I saw that as the mother has been declining in power, the daughters had been growing, and soon they will exercise the power once exercised by the mother. {SpM 1.4}
So after the attack by the Amorites/ Mother of Harlots in the Dark Ages the next power against the remnant under the leadership of the pope will be Moab/ the Protestant Churches, bringing their "harlotry" into the church to seduce.
Numbers 22:3 "And Balak son of Zippor, the Moabite king, had seen everything the Israelites did to the Amorites."
Balak of Moab had seen what the God of Israel did for His people against the Amorites and he feared and plotted against them. Then God told Moses "don't worry for I have given him into your hand, and all his people, and his land. And you shall do to him as you did to Sihon king of the Amorites" so these two events are vitally connected.
"God will reward them double for their sins. Concerning Babylon, the symbol of the apostate church, He says to His ministers of judgment, “Her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities. Reward her even as she rewarded you, and double unto her double according to her works: in the cup which she hath filled fill to her double.” Revelation 18:5, 6. {COL 178.4}When the cup of God's wrath against the Amorites was filled they were destroyed, and this is also an end time prophecy. Genesis 15:16 “In the fourth generation they shall come hither again: (judgment) for the iniquity of the Amorites is not yet full”; there have been four end time generations since the 1844 message proclaiming the beginning of judgment, and this brought us to the judgment of the LIVING. The message must be given in strength to come out of Babylon "My people". When they reject this message their cup is full both individually and collectively.
I searched the Writings of Sister White to see if this text is connected with any important end time prophecies and man was I rewarded for that search!!! I discovered that this quote is in several of her writings in chapters with titles like "The Seal of God" and "preparing for the judgment"! You will not believe what you are about to read! Please keep the information above in mind while reading this quote…
"Preparing for the Judgment"
“He cried also in mine ears with a loud voice, saying, Cause them that have charge over the city to draw near, even every man with his destroying weapon in his hand.”
“And He called to the man clothed with linen, which had the writer’s inkhorn by his side; and the Lord said unto him, Go through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem, and set a mark upon the foreheads of the men that sigh and that cry for all the abominations that be done in the midst thereof. And to the others He said in mine hearing, Go ye after him through the city, and smite: let not your eye spare, neither have ye pity: slay utterly old and young, both maids, and little children, and women: but come not near any man upon whom is the mark; and begin at My sanctuary. Then they began at the ancient men which were before the house.” Ezekiel 9:1, 3-6.
Jesus is about to leave the mercy seat of the heavenly sanctuary, to put on garments of vengeance, and pour out His wrath in judgments upon those who have not responded to the light God has given them. “Because sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil.” Ecclesiastes 8:11. Instead of being softened by the patience and long forbearance that the Lord has exercised toward them, those who fear not God and love not the truth, strengthen their hearts in their evil course. But there are limits even to the forbearance of God, and many are exceeding these boundaries. They have overrun the limits of grace, and therefore God must interfere and vindicate His honor.
Of the Amorites, the Lord said, “In the fourth generation they shall come hither again, for the iniquity of the Amorites is not yet full.” Although this nation was conspicuous because of its idolatry and corruption, it had not yet filled up the cup of its iniquity, and God would not give command for its utter destruction. The people were to see the divine power manifested in a marked manner, that they might be left without excuse. The compassionate Creator was willing to bear with their iniquity until the fourth generation. Then, if no change was seen for the better, His judgments were to fall upon them.
With unerring accuracy, the Infinite One still keeps an account with all nations. While His mercy is tendered, with calls to repentance, this account will remain open; but when the figures reach a certain amount which God has fixed, the ministry of His wrath commences. The account is closed. Divine patience ceases. There is no more pleading of mercy in their behalf..." {Christian Experience and Teachings, pg 186.2}
This is talking about the end of probation and she directly
quotes the scripture against the Amorites to say that this applies to the last generation! WE ARE
NOW PAST THE FOURTH GENERATION, AND IN THE TIME OF THE FIFTH GENERATION!
Luke 12: 37 Blessed are those servants, whom the lord when he cometh shall find watching: verily I say unto you, that he shall gird himself, and make them to sit down to meat, and will come forth and serve them.
38 And if he shall come in the second watch, or come in the third watch, and find them so, blessed are those servants.
39 And this know, that if the goodman of the house had known what hour the thief would come, he would have watched, and not have suffered his house to be broken through.
40 Be ye therefore ready also: for the Son of man cometh at an hour when ye think not.
