The saints prepare to rule, part 4

The banking signs in January 2015, along with the death of Ernie Banks on January 23—both being Passover signs in their own way—told us that a bank crisis was coming at some point. It actually took place as a conflict between two big banks—the Federal Reserve Bank and the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB) in China.

The AIIB vs. the FRB

The AIIB was first proposed in April 2009, which was also when the Elisha ministry was launched at Passover that year. So as we were seeing the signs of Elisha play out, China was planning their AIIB in direct competition with the Federal Reserve Bank (FRB) for financial and economic dominance.

The proposal for the creation of an "Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank" was first made by the Vice Chairman of the China Center for International Economic Exchanges, a Chinese thinktank, at the Bo'ao Forum in April 2009. The initial context was to make better use of Chinese foreign currency reserves in the wake of the global financial crisis.

The initiative was officially launched by Chinese President Xi Jinping on a state visit to Indonesia in October 2013

The AIIB was “officially launched… in October 2013.” China invited other countries to be founding members, each having a percentage of the voting power, depending on the size of their investment in the bank. The Fed, of course, made attempts to stop western countries from joining the AIIB. Until March 2015, only Luxemburg and New Zealand had joined, but when Britain announced that they would join the AIIB, it emboldened other European countries to join too.

Germany, France and Italy followed Britain in saying they would join the China-led initiative, despite Washington's objections to the bank's environmental and human rights standards….

This showed that the Europeans were no longer afraid to go against the Federal Reserve Bank. Fear puts men and nations in bondage. More importantly, we saw that God had raised up China to challenge the power of Mystery Babylon that was centered in the Federal Reserve Bank. This did not mean that China’s AIIB was any better. In fact, an AIIB-dominated world would be much worse, as it would bring about world Communism.

Nonetheless, we see from the battle of Gideon how “the Lord set the sword of one against another even throughout the whole army” (Judges 7:22) after Gideon’s 300 men blew the trumpets and broke the clay jars to shine forth the torches. God fights for His people, using just a few, by causing the enemies to turn against each other.

Britain’s decision to join the AIIB on March 12, 2015 turned the tide, and a week later, on March 19, France, Italy, and Germany joined the AIIB. Switzerland then joined on March 21. It was a complete disaster for the FRB. The banking monopoly had been broken.

ISIS Destroys Nimrud

The CIA-backed forces of ISIS, who were raised up and armed to overthrow Syria, had no regard to archeological sites or for history. Having taken over northern Iraq, they attacked Nimrud, which was named for the founder of Babylon, Nimrod. (See Genesis 10:8-10.)

This was another major sign of the fall of Babel, or Babylon, and it occurred a week before Britain joined the AIIB.

Crossing the Threshold

The morning of March 24 I awoke with the revelation that March 18, 2015 was when we crossed the threshold from captivity to freedom. This was yet an event that was deep in the spiritual realm, of course, on this date freedom began to move toward an in-the-world manifestation. All things happen in the spirit before they happen in the earth. Yet signs in the earth occur in tandem with the spiritual events. If we understand sign language, we can foresee earthly events long before they actually occur.

This revelation reminded me of a dream that I had on February 6, 1986, where I heard it said, “March 18 I set you free.” I took this as a revelation and have seen it confirmed a few times over the years. So March 18, 2015 was another piece of that puzzle.

I received notification from friends that they had been led to issue a “Cease and Desist” decree on March 18, 2015. The decree was directed against the “agents of the Kingdom of Babylon” who had brought accusation against the “agents of the Kingdom of God.”

The Coronation of the Saints

In March of 2015 we were preparing for the Passover conference in Minneapolis, which was scheduled for April 3-5. Six of us (three couples) were led to issue a decree to commission the overcomers for coronation in preparation for the actual coronation at the Passover conference.

This decree was made on March 20, 2015, which was about two weeks before Passover. The actual coronation ceremony was done on the last day of the conference, Sunday, April 5. The coronation in this case was seen as the Head (Christ) coming upon the Body, similar to what we saw at the feast of Tabernacles in the year 2000.

The reason it was done at Passover was based on the revelation to Moses in Exodus 12:2,

² This month shall be the beginning of months for you; it is to be the first month of the year to you.

Prior to Moses, the month of Tishri (September) had been the first month on their calendar. But when the Israelites were about to keep their first Passover in Egypt, God told Moses to make the month of Abib (April) the first month. For this reason, we see a somewhat strange situation where the first of Tishri is New Year’s Day, but the month of Abib is the first month!

God is the One who changed the calendar.

So while Tabernacles of 2014 was when the transfer of authority was instituted, we were led to crown the overcomers six months later at Passover of 2015.

It happened that the coronation on April 5, 2015 was the 4900^th day since Satan was bound on November 5, 2001. The number 4900 (in years) is 100 Jubilees. When events are linked by biblical time cycles, we should take notice of what God is telling us. In this case, we see that Satan is bound while the saints are crowned. It is a transfer of power.

China’s Flag Lowered

During the time of Passover, China’s ambassador came on a trade mission to Washington state. The governor of Washington, Jay Inslee, raised the flag of China at the capital in Olympia, which is the usual courtesy given to visiting dignitaries. Nonetheless, a state employee took offence to this and took down the flag the next day, Saturday, April 4.

This incident seems to have created another sign for us. China’s flag was raised by the governor in Washington, and then was lowered by the people. It seemed to indicate that China would have great power in Washington D.C. soon, but that this would end shortly with a revolt by the people themselves.

Washington state is a prophetic type of Washington D.C. When we moved to Seattle, Washington in 1993, we knew that we were there to observe spiritual events that were going on in Washington D.C.

A few days later, on April 7, 2015 Washington D.C. suffered a power outage. This suggested once again that Washington would suffer from a lack of power. It tied into the AIIB situation, where the Fed had just lost its power and influence over Europe and could not prevent them from joining the AIIB.

All of these events were early warning signs of things to come, as God works to undermine the financial power of Mystery Babylon.
