The Sound of Heaven

"After that I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse (appeared)!  The One Who was riding it is called Faithful (Trustworthy, Loyal, Incorruptible, Steady) and True, and He passes judgment and wages war in righteousness (holiness, justice, and uprightness).  His eyes (blaze) like a flame of fire, and on His head are many kingly crowns (diadems): and He has a title (name) inscribed which He alone knows or can understand.  He is dressed in a robe dyed by dipping in blood, and the title by which He is called is The Word of God.  And the troops of heaven, clothed in fine linen, dazzling and clean, followed Him on white horses.  From His mouth goes forth a sharp sword with which He can smite (afflict, strike) the nations; and He will shepherd and control them with a staff (scepter, rod) of iron.  He will tread the winepress of the fierceness of the wrath and indignation of God the All-Ruler (the Almighty, the Omnipotent).  And on His garment (robe) and on His thigh He has a name (title) inscribed, KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS."  Revelation 19:11-16  (The Everyday Life Bible;Amplified Version)

The following, I believe, is a word of the Lord:

"Do you hear the "tick tock" of time?  Time is ticking.  It is getting louder.  It is the hoofs of the stallion coming.  It is the sound of the stallion.   The King of the Ages is coming!  He will come with His army of warriors to occupy and reign on the earth and crush Satan under His feet.

Do you hear the faint hoofs upon the earth?  They are getting louder and louder.  Only my saints shall hear them.  Say to the earth----rejoice for I come to overtake the bondsman and the Liar of all lies; the anti-christ.  For I am the King and My Kingdom is forever and ever.  Rejoice oh little one.  Do not be alarmed for I am coming on a stallion to reclaim My Kingdom, My glory, My Lordship upon the earth.  Oh man, why do you continue to falter and hate Me:  No more I say.  No more.  For I am the Alpha and the Omega Who is, Who was, and Who is to come!  I Am your strength.  I Am your deliverer.  I Am the Prince of Peace.  I Am the King of Kings!  So rejoice, be glad.  Be relaxed.  REST.  For the earth is Mine and none can take it from Me.  Oh man you say you are a god.  God you are not!  So I say to the wind, sea, and earth---rejoice for you too will reclaim that which is lost!  Rejoice!"

WAKE UP AMERICA!

Reverend Billy Graham was buried on the Festival of Purim which is a Jewish festival celebrated to commemorate the protection of the Jewish people from Haman who ordered the extermination of the Jews.

Queen Esther was an instrument of God who had the courage to speak out even if it meant her death.  (Esther 4:16)  "Go, gather together all the Jews that are present in Shushan, and fast for me; and neither eat nor drink for three days, night or day.  I also and my maids will fast as you do.  then I will go to the king, though it is against the law; and if I perish, I perish."  (The Everyday Life Bible)

Esther won favor with the king and a decree was established and the Jews were allowed to defend themselves.  If not for the courage and faith of Esther, the Jews would have been annihilated.

Why does this relate to us as believers in Jesus Christ?  The fact that Billy Graham was buried on the Festival of Purim, in my opinion, is a sign that we need to stand up for our faith before the forces of evil take over.  We need to have the same courage and resolve to stand up for Biblical principles and not let the world dictate who we are.

You have probably heard the story of the frog and the boiling water.  Researchers found that when you put a frog in boiling water, it immediately jumped out.  When they put the frog in cold water and slowly put the water to boil over time, the frog boiled to death because it didn't notice that he was in danger.

So it is with us as Christians.  We are so busy with our lives and those things that are around us that we, in many cases, fail to see the reality of what is going on around us just like the frog in the pot.

Christians throughout the world are being persecuted and martyred every day.  Our freedoms are slowly being taken away especially in the area of free speech.  Free speech is being attacked and conservative or Christian views are even labeled by some as "hate speech."  Conservatives are being silenced on social media.  The unborn is being assaulted every day.  We need to speak out and be that voice.  We need to stand for who we are in Christ because if we don't, our Christian faith will continue to be assaulted just as evil forces tried to assault all the Jews during the time of Esther. 

Be an Esther and have the courage to stand and be heard.  Our very faith is being challenged and we will not be silenced!!
