What is going on in the world?

The world is certainly in great turmoil now. God has told us that the Russia-Ukraine war is a “distraction” to keep men’s eyes focused on that part of the world while He is birthing His own Kingdom work in South Africa (along with the USA and Canada).

Secondly, He has told us that we are to focus on building His Kingdom and to let the angels do the work of destroying Babylon. Nonetheless, we ought to be aware of what is going on in the world. To be aware, we must understand that the first casualty of war is Truth and that the war propaganda is now in full swing. When left and right news agencies both say the same thing, it does not establish truth; it tells you that the Babylonians are calling “all hands on deck” and are uniting both sides that they have controlled from the beginning.

God is calling this a “skirmish” and says that there will be more to come. Perhaps that refers to a Chinese invasion of Taiwan, or a war in Korea, or a conflict involving the Israeli state, or perhaps an exchange between China and India on their disputed border. We have no specific revelation on that at this point, only that God calls all of them “skirmishes” from His perspective.

From man’s perspective, these events are far more serious, but only because men do not know the outcome, nor do they understand the prophetic purpose of these things.

It is becoming increasingly clear that this Ukraine war is about to crash the financial system worldwide. The banks will probably freeze up soon. It might be a good idea to get some cash out of the bank. Remember Cyprus in 2012, where people could withdraw only $300 per day from the bank. That, I believe, was a test run for what could soon happen in the rest of the world.

Oil prices are skyrocketing. Fuel prices went up 30 cents per gallon in one day here in Minneapolis. Natural gas prices are up as well. We can expect higher prices before this is over.

It does appear that we have finally arrived at the crisis point that many have expected for years. Inflation is at the “official” rate of 7.5 percent, but this figure does not factor in the price of food or fuel. The real inflation rate is at least double that.

The price of gold and silver are going higher, in spite of government attempts to suppress the price in order to make the dollar look better. We will see how well they succeed in suppressing metal prices as the pressure builds. Gold is now at an all-time high of $2,000/oz (US). Recall that in my view when silver hits $50/oz, it will signal the destruction of Babylon. Banks that are “too big to fail” will fail, and the bailouts or bail-ins will hit many people very hard, unless they have had the foresight to position themselves ahead of time.

The big banks hold a lot of silver short contracts, which are designed to suppress the price of silver. The problem is that if they lose control of the price, they may go bankrupt as well. For every dollar that the price of silver goes up, they lose $1 billion. When they short the market, this means they “sell” silver on paper. They often sell in a single day more than a year’s worth of actual production from all the mines in the world. This makes it appear that there is a glut of silver, which pushes down the price. But in actuality, there is very little actual silver for sale. That is why buyers of real silver (eagles) have to pay a 33-35 percent premium.

Ever since the Canadian banks began freezing accounts of those who disagree with the official narrative, there has been a lot of money being withdrawn from the (Canadian) banks. People are putting it into silver, causing a silver shortage in Canada. Others are simply sending their money out of the country. That is a natural consequence of weaponizing the banks.

It’s not much different when the US government weaponizes the SWIFT system by imposing sanctions on other nations. It simply drives whole nations out of the SWIFT system as they establish new payment systems. China has already done this with their CIPS (Crossborder Inter-bank Payment System). Weaponizing the banking system and SWIFT may seem like a good political decision in the short term, but in the long term, it ensures the destruction of the banking system as well as the US dollar.

From our perspective, we are in a 7-year cycle of the fall of Babylon from 2017-2024. So that is how I view the next few years.

March 8-10 Revelation

You may recall the watch dates that I posted on March 3.

https://godskingdom.org/blog/2022/03/watch-dates

Our immediate watch dates are March 8 (Prince of Usury) and March 10 (leave). It is now quite clear that these dates are developing today in terms of appropriate bank accounts being set up (March 8) and giving them “feet,” or being able to use them in a practical manner (March 10). I don’t want to say too much at this point, because the enemies of the Kingdom are still out there.

In spite of huge opposition, the divine plan marches on, and the enemy can only delay things until God’s appointed time. If things work out as I think, we will probably be making a trip to South Africa some time in the next month. I write this also to inform the team that will be going with us. I suspect that we will have to return home by April 9, and if so, this would mean that we would leave here the end of March.

There is an important decision of the divine council that must be made in the next 21 days, as the Father has given us a deadline of March 28 for that decision. The Lord has made it clear that this decision is “too weighty” for John and I to make.

We are in the labor ward of the divine hospital, overseeing the birth of the glory of God. We must let the angels remove the tares (Matthew 13:39); our job is to harvest the wheat (Matthew 13:30). If we try to uproot the evil in the world, it would only cause chaos and make things much more difficult. The Lord has told us that we need to become accustomed to the fact that certain work has to be done by angels. We are to focus on what God has instructed us to do as a team.

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.

We were also given a new definition of “rest,” as in entering God’s rest. God’s rest is not idleness, vacations, or holidays. When we are at rest, it is because we are functioning in our calling, where His yoke is easy, and His burden is light.

Today’s Revelation

While I was talking to John this morning (his afternoon), we were interrupted suddenly when a paper ball hit John in the head. It was a note from God that suddenly appeared out of nowhere. Bradley was upstairs and came rushing down the stairs, because he heard it in the spirit as a massive BANG! (To John and I, it barely made a sound.)

The message posed a few questions that we must ponder, discern, and pray about between now and March 28. These are questions of strategy for South Africa and for America, as we come to a fork in the road. These are the things that the divine council must discern and decide upon. Though God, being sovereign, does not need our help, we know that He gives authority as He sees fit. (Most people call it “free will,” but actually, it is authority, which is limited.)

God’s purpose is to train His children to be as He is, to do as He does, and to think as He thinks. The ultimate purpose of authority is to give us opportunity (authorization) to fulfill our calling in the way He intended from the beginning. God revealed that He desires a deeper relationship with us. When the crumpled paper message was opened up, it started out this way:

“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.”

The gap is the distance between the spirit and the world. It is separated by a veil, so to speak. The veil in the tabernacle and temple hid the glory of God. The cloud on the Mount hid the glory of God from the Israelites. Jesus’ flesh was a veil that hid the glory of God, except for a brief moment when He was transfigured.

That gap is now narrowing, because His glory is ready to be birthed into the world and to come into visibility. When the gap is fully removed, there is full unity, and God can fellowship with us in love and full agreement—a meeting of minds, so to speak. I am awed by the fact that He is coming into our presence. He is taking the initiative. It is not because we are seeking to come into His presence. It is rather “the other way around.”

This was a weighty revelation, followed by the questions He posed for us to consider. It was sent airmail in typical divine humor.

The message concluded: “What shall OUR strategy be going further? It was signed, “Your Abba,” denoting both affection, familiarity and a bit of fun.

As for the “codes” He has been giving us, we have had to learn the language of Scripture, for when He speaks of Bible characters or incidents, we cannot understand it unless we know the spiritual meaning behind the words and names. So as He speaks in code, we are not to think of it as “cryptic” language that is designed to hide its meaning. We are instead to learn the code, so that we speak His language. In the process, we actually are learning the Scriptures on a whole new level. And yet it is not really new; it’s just a crash course to complete our education.

As for who is part of this particular divine council, God designated four couples who are given this authority and responsibility. Our first meeting was on July 4, 2021. Of necessity, these meetings must be limited to a few who represent the many, but everyone else will benefit in some way as well. I have no doubt that God will call forth other small groups to participate in divine council decisions in the future.
