The Glory of His presence shakes the earth

On July 21, 2018 I posted a prophecy that a friend (Kevin) had received.

https://godskingdom.org/blog/2018/07/prophetic-word-for-today-from-kevin

Here is what Kevin sent me:

10 degrees of adjustment, 10 degrees of alteration and correction. With this adjustment you shall receive the very fullness of my Spirit. It is the Spirit of judgment to receive that which I will now release. I am about to release angelic resources, I am about to consume the earth with my presence. I have waited long for this day. I have tarried long for this hour … now it has come .... now it is here.

10 degrees of adjustment to your heart is all that is needed to see the king of glory, the lord strong and mighty the Lord mighty in battle. Yes ...adjustment to your heart, adjustment so the gates can be lifted up and the King of glory can come in.

Open up your mouth and I will fill it, open up your heart and I will consume it with my glory.

10 degrees!

Acts chapter 3 vs 21

“Heaven must receive him until the time comes for God to restore everything, as he promised long ago through his holy prophets.”

Yesterday, March 7, it was sent to me again by another friend (Ashley), who had found it while cleaning out her computer. She discerned that it may be relevant now. (Kevin and Ashley live in different parts of the country and do not know each other.)

The Blessed Number

I did some quick calculations and took note that from July 21, 2018 to March 17, 2022 is 1,335 days. Daniel 12:12 says,

¹² How blessed is he who keeps waiting and attains to the 1,335 days!

That is a “blessed” number and has to do with “waiting” over a period of time for the blessing to occur. It alerted me to put March 17 on our watch list. March 17 is also ten days from March 7, when this word was brought to our attention. When I see a double witness that points to the same date, my spirit goes on alert. March 17 is both the end of 1,335 days and the end of 10 days.

Kevin’s revelation from 2018 speaks of “10 degrees of adjustment, 10 degrees of alteration and correction.” It appears that these 10 days correlate with the 10 degrees, wherein God is making certain adjustments, alterations, and corrections before “you shall receive the very fullness of My Spirit.”

A New Look at Psalm 24

Yesterday morning (before reading Ashley’s email), I wrote about Psalm 24 in the context of the gate of God:

By focusing on the positive work of building His Kingdom, we will simply displace Babylon’s kingdom. The true must replace the counterfeit. Babylon’s archeological name is Bab-ili, “Gate of God.” It is the perversion of the true “gates” in Psalm 24. The biblical name Babel (babble) and Babylon shows that God considers the perverted kingdom to be causing confusion/chaos.

We are to take this chaos out of the hands of Marduk, the primary god of Babylon, and bring order. We are to displace Marduk by becoming the gatekeepers of the earth with godly stewardship.

God connected Psalm 24 to bring a contrast between the true “gates” and the perversion of Bab-ili (“gate of God”). The tower of Babel was originally built as a 7-stepped pyramid, representing the seven planets, which they believed represented the 7 steps downward in the fall of man (Genesis 3). There was a temple on top of this tower which had a green glass dome on its top, from which (it was said) men could spring into the heavens.

Today, we would term this view, “the rapture.” In fact, the late Neil Frisbee actually built a church on the model of the tower of Babylon in Arizona, calling it “Capstone Cathedral.” It had a green glass pyramid on the top of the church. I showed a picture of this and wrote more about it in my series in Deuteronomy:

It is curious how some churches have a tendency to imitate Babylon and its worship system instead of the biblical pattern set forth by God.

Psalm 24 commemorates the day that David brought the Ark of the Covenant to the hill of Zion (in the back yard of his house). The first two verses acknowledges that the Creator is the Owner of the whole earth—everything that He has created. Then we read about those who qualify to “ascend into the hill of the Lord” (Psalm 24:3). People must seek God “with clean hands and a pure heart” (Psalm 24:4).

These are the ones “who seek Your face—even Jacob” (Psalm 24:6). If you have read my book, The Genesis Book of Psalms, you will note that Psalm 24 commemorates the story of Jacob when he returned to Bethel in Genesis 35. Note especially Genesis 35:2,

² So Jacob said to his household and to all who were with him, “Put away the foreign gods which are among you and purify yourselves and change your garments.”

These foreign gods were then buried “under the oak which was near Shechem.” Jacob’s household was an extension of Abraham’s household of faith. It was the “church” in that day, and yet many of the people were worshiping foreign gods. The same pattern is seen in the church today. Not much has changed.

Again, Jacob and the church returned to Bethel (“house of God”) to seek the face of God. The first time Jacob had gone to Bethel, it represented his Pentecostal experience. I wrote about this in chapter 4 of The Laws of the Second Coming. Jacob’s return to Bethel can be seen as his Tabernacles experience.

The first time Jacob was just passing through; the second time God told him to “live there” (Genesis 35:1). This came on the heels of his wrestling match with the angel Peniel, “God’s face.” He had sought God’s face and had found Him, and so he was later told to move to Bethel.

Getting back to Psalm 24, David wrote it first to commemorate the Ark’s move to the hill of Zion, where he lived. David wanted to live with God. He wanted his house to be the house of God. Like Jacob before him, David sought the face/presence of God. The main difference, it seems, is that while Jacob went to Bethel to seek God’s presence, with David, the presence of God (in the Ark) came to him.

This seems to be the primary revelation that came yesterday, as I explained in the weblog from yesterday.

“I do not leave you cryptic messages, I leave you codes. But I come into your presence, not the other way around, as an indication that the “gap” between us has narrowed so much that I, your God, can have intimacy and fellowship with you…. So let us sit and discuss. Let us consider together.”

In other words, “I come into your presence” is connected by Psalm 24 to the story of the Ark coming to David’s house.

Shaking the Earth

Back on July 21, 2018, when I commented on Kevin’s prophecy of the 10 degrees of adjustment, I connected the coming of God’s presence to the great shaking that was to come:

There were two “shakings” in Scripture. The first was at Pentecost in the time of Moses, and the second was prophesied as a future event in Haggai 2:6 and again in Hebrews 12:26. The second shaking was revealed on the 7^th day of the feast of Tabernacles but was in reference to the eighth day (7/22).

So in the broad view, the Holy Spirit event in Acts 2 fulfilled Exodus 19:18 (because the people under Moses were too fearful to receive His glory at that time). The second and greater shaking is coming in our time. We had a preview of this shaking in September 2008, but it appears that the real shaking is about to begin.

As for timing, “10 degrees” is hardly a clear statement, other than connecting 2018 with 2008. Yet it should cause us to be watchful for events in September 2018 as a parallel to the bank crisis in 2008. This is linked directly to the great “shaking” of heaven and earth, the sea and dry land. In other words, it will be a greater event than seen at Mount Sinai. It will shake the entire earth—not just an entire mountain.

The stated reason in Haggai is to “fill this house with glory.” But it involves more than that. Hebrews tells us that the Kingdom is coming and that anything that runs contrary to His Kingdom will collapse. In the midst of this, Haggai 2:8 lays claim to all the silver and gold. This can refer to literal silver and gold in a transfer of wealth, but more importantly, it refers to nations coming into the treasury of the Lord….

The outpouring of the Holy Spirit is soon coming, and it appears that it will coincide with the shaking of the nations. I believe that the Lord has given to Kevin a prophetic word that is parallel to that which was given to Haggai. Each of these revelations were given on 7/21 in anticipation of 7/22, even though the two dates come on different calendars.

The shaking will cause great fear in the world, because they do not know that God is doing this in order to restore all nations to His treasury. The shaking has a good purpose in the end. It is our job to be God’s voice of Hope to those who are afraid as their Babylonian world comes crashing down. Already there is panic in the world, but there is rejoicing in God’s Temple.

So buckle your seat belts. But remember that this great shaking is not designed to destabilize you. You are not among those who “can be shaken.” You are Kingdom people, members of a “Kingdom which cannot be shaken.” But because we all have some last-minute adjustments that must be made, and because we all still hang on to a few things that can be shaken, there is still a 10-degree adjustment that must be made in our lives and in the world at large.

Let us endure to the end, then, and face the future with great hope and without fear.

It is clear today that the world is being shaken by the prospect of World War III, so it is very important for us to know that God is doing the shaking—not men. The shaking is designed to bring down all that is not built upon the solid foundation of Christ and His Kingdom. In fact, it is also for our benefit, for we who are in Christ are protected in such times of trouble.

The seal of God (His name) is in our foreheads (Revelation 22:4; Ezekiel 9:3, 4). Only those who do not have His name written in their forehead have reason to fear. We stand on the word of God by faith, being focused on the King of Glory coming through the gates, rather than on the great shaking that terrifies the nations.
