Wielding the Sword of the Spirit

I want to share a revelation Dan Clark sent to me many years ago, and I think it'll be a blessing. His pastor friend, Tom Lyerla received this revelation, and it’s called:

Who Is Worthy to Wield the Sword?

Tom Lyerla - 04/13/2008 (David's notes in red)

I have never experienced anything like this in my life. This open vision was in full color. When I could not stop crying, I knew that the Lord had downloaded this to me for a reason. I do not have a full understanding of this vision as of yet. I pray He will release to me the revelation of it.

I was sitting in church just before service, as everyone was praying. All of a sudden, I started to cry. Then I saw this shiny object coming down from Heaven, as if it were a rocket trying to burn itself through the atmosphere. It burned throughout the sky until it struck into the earth. This huge, blinding light was now a huge sword stuck in the earth.

(This parable is clearly using a well-known novel written by T.H. White in 1938 called “The Sword in the Stone”. It was about a young boy named Wart (sounds like a lowly lifestyle, right?) He was a wart who grew up in medieval England and befriends a magician named Merlin. Of course, God does not agree with this part, but He uses things that are in people's minds to speak to them, especially about the positive part of this revelation, to tell a larger story, as his name implies. Wart was nothing to brag about, but was trained by Merlin to be wise and valiant and to ultimately take his place as king.

In the story, a test was given to the people of England. A sword was found lodged in an anvil and stone with the inscription written: “Who so Pulleth out This Sword of this Stone and Anvil, is Rightwise King Born of All England”. Because of “strength, knowledge and maturity,” Wart pulled the sword from its lodging place to become King Arthur. The symbolism in this vision is that one will be found worthy to become King and have the authority to judge by the sword, which we know to be the Word of God, according to Heb.4:12-13 For the word of God is living, and active, and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing even to the dividing of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and quick to discern the thoughts and intents of the heart. 13 And there is no creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and laid open before the eyes of him with whom we have to do.

And the Sword is the Word of God, and the Lord Himself, Who sees not as man sees, but looks on the heart. He is the Judge. And we are warned not to be the judge. But I believe that this sword represents the authority to judge by the Word. Wart was not high nobility but from humble beginnings, which gave him a heart for the people.

We also know that man is forbidden to judge under penalty of being judged by his own sword. Let me read Mat.7:1 Judge not, that ye be not judged. 2 For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured unto you. So the warning is that man has no right to judge, at least in the Kingdom of God. Man doesn't have the right to judge his fellow man. Only God knows the thoughts and intents of the heart, and the Word of God is sharper than a two-edged sword, able to divide and to discern even the inside of a man. Now the Lamb is the One Who has been counted worthy to judge and He can judge through humble people like Wart..

Rev.5:1 And I saw in the right hand of him that sat on the throne a book written within and on the back, close sealed with seven seals. 2 And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a great voice, Who is worthy to open the book, and to loose the seals thereof? 3 And no one in the heaven, or on the earth, or under the earth, was able to open the book, or to look thereon. 4 And I wept much, because no one was found worthy to open the book, or to look thereon: 5 and one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not; behold, the Lion that is of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, hath overcome to open the book and the seven seals thereof.

So we know that Jesus, Who is the Word of God, has the right to judge. And He always has from the beginning. But as we saw in Matthew 7, He is warning man that you don't have the right to judge. Nobility only votes for nobility.

Rev.5:9 And they sing a new song, saying, Worthy art thou to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and didst purchase unto God with thy blood men of every tribe, and tongue, and people, and nation, We know that Jesus was found worthy to judge by opening the judgment seals in Revelation, and that the first seal is the white horse rider who is the Man-child company of first-fruits, through whom He will judge. The first seal He opened is Rev.6:1 And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seven seals, and I heard one of the four living creatures saying as with a voice of thunder, Come. 2 And I saw, and behold, a white horse, and he that sat thereon had a bow; and there was given unto him a crown: and he came forth conquering, and to conquer.

The first judgment released by the Lord is the white horse rider. I believe, and I've taught in the past, that the white horse rider is neither Christ nor Antichrist, but Christ in a body of the first fruits that we call the Man-child. And Moses filled that position in a parallel time in history. He brought judgment upon the world to loose God's people from bondage. And Jesus Himself, in His day, was the Man-child who brought judgment because of the words that He spoke. The word divides. The word decides. We're going to be judged according to His Word, as He said Himself.

Continuing with Tom’s revelation. Many people saw the sword come down to the earth. Then I saw pastors with signs around their necks approaching it. They pushed and shoved at each other, trying to reach the sword to be the one to pull it from the ground. The signs around their necks read the words PRIDE, ARROGANT, CONTROLLING, COMPROMISE, GREED, etc. As the pastors touched the sword's handle, they fell over DEAD! Some to the left and some to the right, creating a huge pile of dead people everywhere.

So, he released the judgment by releasing the Word. These pastors have not overcome to be used of the Lord to judge, and when they do judge, they judge themselves.

I then saw the light moving towards a large crowd of dark warriors that were attacking this person who had attained the sword. I could not see who was carrying the sword, but what I could see was a multitude of people following the person who was carrying this great sword.

That reminds you a lot of what Romans 2 says. In Jesus' day, some people thought they were wise enough to judge, and they judged Him and His disciples, and they all died. You say, but they didn't die; they persecuted them. They brought them to death. Yes, but they died. In the Kingdom, death is spiritual as well as physical. They died; they became corrupt and were reprobated. They couldn't see; their hearts were hardened, their eyes were closed, and their ears were closed, and they died.

Rom.2:1 Wherefore thou art without excuse, O man, whosoever thou art that judgest: for wherein thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself; for thou that judgest dost practise the same things. The Lord is the Judge. So, he's saying that if a person is found to be unworthy to be used of the Lord to judge, and they judge others, then they die because they are condemned with the same condemnation that they bring upon others, because they're still sinners, right?

Let me read the previous chapter so you get a better understanding of it. Rom.1:28 And even as they refused to have God in their knowledge, God gave them up unto a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not fitting; 29 being filled with all unrighteousness, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, malignity; whisperers, 30 backbiters, hateful to God, insolent, haughty, boastful, (Sounds similar to these pastors, doesn't it?) inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, 31 without understanding, covenant-breakers, without natural affection, unmerciful: 32 who, knowing the ordinance of God, that they that practice such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but also consent with them that practice them.

Back to Rom.2:2 And we know that the judgment of God is according to truth against them that practice such things. (Meaning that a man could be finding mercy, forgiveness, and grace from God, but when he judges his neighbor, and he's not worthy, he loses that grace, and he receives the condemnation that he would have gotten or should have gotten all along.)

3 And reckonest thou this, O man, (Notice he emphasizes the word man, because we are sons of man and sons of God, are we not? But the man part of us is forbidden to judge. Only the God part of us is capable of judging. People like to imply that it's God when many times it's just them. We need to be very careful of that because if we let the old man speak and judge, he's going to bring judgment upon us.) who judgest them that practice such things, and doest the same, that thou shalt escape the judgment of God? 4 Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering, not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance? (We should appreciate God’s mercy and grace shown towards us for not judging us for the things that we do that are contrary to His Word. When a person judges another in the flesh, God is saying that they bring condemnation upon themselves for their own sins.)

5 but after thy hardness and impenitent heart treasurest up for thyself wrath in the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God; (So, He shows us that the person who judges in the flesh is treasuring up wrath in the day of wrath. There's a time when payback is coming.) 6 who will render to every man according to his works: (Now, if we have grace and mercy because we walk by faith and repentance, not judging, so we're not going to receive according to our past works. The Lord bore the curse upon the cross for those who are repentant and counting upon His mercy. But for judging, critical, factious, and slandering people, the Lord is saying they don't have a covering. The Lord's going to judge them. Just as we saw these pastors who touched that sword of judgment, it judged them, killing them, and they died. I believe that what's implied here is a spiritual death. As we just read, they refused to have God in their knowledge, and God gave them up to a reprobate mind, meaning death.)

7 to them that by patience in well-doing seek for glory and honor and incorruption, eternal life: 8 but unto them that are factious, and obey not the truth, but obey unrighteousness, shall be wrath and indignation, 9 tribulation and anguish, upon every soul of man that worketh evil, of the Jew first, and also of the Greek; 10 but glory and honor and peace to every man that worketh good, to the Jew first, and also to the Greek: There's no respect of persons with God, so I believe that this is a repetition of history. Just as those leaders of Judaism thought that they were worthy to judge Jesus, but instead were reprobated and judged themselves. This was not only a spiritual judgment upon their souls of reprobation, but a physical judgment that came in 70 AD, in which they were basically wiped out for what they did to God’s people according to Josephus.

So also, with these men who thought that they could put their hand to the sword, instead it killed them. Multitudes of them are coming, except in this case, it's calling them pastors, leaders who think that they are worthy to judge true Christianity, but they have never known true Christianity; they will be judging God's chosen people and will bring death to them. That's what Tom’s revelation is saying.

And we see this in 1 Chronicles, chapter 10: the old order ministry, and Saul, who was the old order leader of God's people, and those who followed him, went to war against the Philistines. Saul hadn't put to death his old man, and he wasn't able to conquer the enemies of God's people. He was attempting by the sword to bring judgment upon them. And yet it brought death to him. 1Ch.10:4 Then said Saul unto his armor-bearer, Draw thy sword, and thrust me through therewith, lest these uncircumcised come and abuse me. But his armor-bearer would not; for he was sore afraid. Therefore, Saul took his sword and fell upon it. 5 And when his armor-bearer saw that Saul was dead, (because the sword that he was using to judge these sinners killed him) he likewise fell upon his sword, and died. 6 So Saul died, and his three sons; and all his house died together.

So, they all died together by their own hand there, by the sword of their enemies. They were not found worthy to administer the judgment. After Saul died, all the people who did not follow him to death made David their king. David had been found worthy because he killed the Goliath giant of “self”. David, as a type of Jesus and the end-time Man-child company, was given the authority of the throne of David to judge. By David's sword, the enemies who conquered Saul were destroyed, and the people were freed from the beast kingdom of the Philistines.)

Now, let’s read of the humble beginning of Jesus. Luk.1:31 And behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS. 32 He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Most High: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David: 33 and he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end. Jesus was given the authority to judge. He sat on the throne of David. Jesus said in Rev.3:21 He that overcometh, I will give to him to sit down with me in my throne, as I also overcame, and sat down with my Father in his throne. As an overcomer with His overcomer children, Jesus, was given the authority to judge forever and ever.

Once again, like in the days of Jesus, God is going to raise up some Davids who are the Man-child body in our day. It's not the Man-child that's important. It's the One Who lives in them that's important. It is the Word overcoming in us; it’s having the Word that's sown out of heaven into our hearts to bear the fruit of the One Who can judge. The Lord doesn't choose to use somebody who's living in the same kind of sin to judge anybody. It says in 2Co.10:6 and being in readiness to avenge all disobedience, when your obedience shall be made full. (If a person is living in a sin, they have no right to judge anybody else in that sin. That's what we read in Romans chapter 2, and we see that it’s very dangerous to do.)

Now, we know that David was given a sword. Jesus was given a sword. The Man-child will be given a sword. And I think we have a pretty good parable in Judges chapter 7, where Gideon was given a sword. And I think that's relevant to what we're seeing here, too.

Let me read some of it to you. Jdg.6:1 And the children of Israel did that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah: and Jehovah delivered them into the hand of Midian seven years. (This is a type and a shadow of the tribulation.) 14 And Jehovah looked upon him, and said, Go in this thy might, and save Israel from the hand of Midian: have not I sent thee? (Gideon didn't think he was capable of much in himself. God chose him for that purpose. And he complained that he wasn't all that much. His family was the poorest in Manasseh, and he was the least in his father's house. But when the Lord commands you to go, that's what He means. When He says, ‘Go in this thy might’, since I've told you to go, you can go with might, right? God finally got it across to him that He wasn't counting on Gideon, but that He was the one Who was going to take care of this enemy.

Jdg.7:2 And Jehovah said unto Gideon, The people that are with thee are too many for me to give the Midianites into their hand, lest Israel vaunt themselves against me, saying, Mine own hand hath saved me. (God really wanted someone weak in his own ability, and He wanted a people who were weak in their own ability to go against the beast kingdom that was coming against them.)

Jdg.7:12 And the Midianites and the Amalekites and all the children of the east lay along in the valley like locusts for multitude; and their camels were without number, as the sand which is upon the sea-shore for multitude. (And yet God was whittling them down to 300 men and sending Gideon. But Gideon still wasn't confident that God could even use him to do this great thing. So God says, “Well, okay, take your servant and go on down to the enemy camp and I'll show you something.”)

13 And when Gideon was come, behold, there was a man telling a dream unto his fellow; and he said, Behold, I dreamed a dream; and, lo, a cake of barley bread tumbled into the camp of Midian, and came unto the tent, and smote it so that it fell, and turned it upside down, so that the tent lay flat. Surely Gideon would have chosen a mightier sword than that.) 14 And his fellow answered and said, This is nothing else save the sword of Gideon the son of Joash, a man of Israel: into his hand God hath delivered Midian, and all the host.

Jdg.7:19 So Gideon, and the hundred men that were with him, came unto the outermost part of the camp in the beginning of the middle watch, when they had but newly set the watch: and they blew the trumpets, and brake in pieces the pitchers that were in their hands. (God did this, but He used Gideon to do it. No man can take credit. The barley bread represents the first fruits, and that's who Gideon was. Barley is a first fruits harvest.)

God had perfected 300 men to go with him. Verse 19 says, and so Gideon and the hundred men that were with him, because they split up into three different groups. You see, they were coming against three different groups: the Midianites, the Amalekites, and the children of the East. In our time, this represents the kings of the North, the South, and the East; it's three companies. Babylon was divided into three, and the Bible tells us that the world is Babylon. At the end war, when the Beast is seeking to destroy God's people, they’ll be divided into three companies. The people who lived among the Northern, Southern, and Eastern people in those three companies are also three companies of overcomers. In this case, it represents the Man-child.

Jdg.7:20 And the three companies blew the trumpets, and brake the pitchers, and held the torches in their left hands, (They broke the pitchers with the torches within, and the light of God shone forth. The clay pitchers represents the old carnal vessels that we walk in here, which have to be broken so that the inner man of light can be seen in the world.) and the trumpets in their right hands wherewith to blow; and they cried, The sword of Jehovah and of Gideon. (So it is the Sword of the Lord, but Gideon is being used to swing it. And notice that the sword is not a physical sword at all. It’s the fact that the vessel was broken so that the true Light of God on the inside, Who is the true judge, can come forth.)

…and blow the trumpets because the trumpets spiritually represent turning breath into something that can be heard. Breath is the same word as spirit in the Old Testament, and a trumpet is a vessel through which the spirit or breath is turned into something that can be heard by man. That represents the true Word of the Lord going forth. The Word of the Lord is the Sword of the Lord and of Gideon.

I need to go back and finish reading that part of the vision, but I wanted to point out to you what the sword in the earth is. It's not really us so much as it is the word of God in us, and it is the Lord Himself Who has been given authority to judge.

Here he says, As the pastors touched the sword's handle, they fell over DEAD! Some to the left and some to the right. (Notice: some even died on the right! These people were dying because they were attempting to use a sword that they had no authority to use.) Creating a huge pile of dead bodies everywhere. I then saw the light moving towards a large crowd of dark warriors that were attacking this person who had attained the sword.

Now, who has been the real enemy of the Man-child throughout history? Primarily, it was God's people. Jesus's problem was the Pharisees and the Sadducees, who thought themselves worthy to judge and were not, and it brought death and destruction to them. And the people under them, who attacked not only Jesus but also His disciples and those who walked as Jesus walked afterwards, these people, I think, all can be dark warriors. They attacked this person who had attained to the sword.

I could not see who was carrying the sword, but what I could see was a multitude of people following the person who was carrying this great sword. Now that reminds you of David, doesn't it? After Saul died, after all those who tried to put their hand to the sword died, David was given authority. And many people, all of true Israel, who didn't die following Saul, followed David. We're coming to a repetition of history, when the Man-child reformers will be born and caught up to the throne, given the authority to judge and come back.

This is just as Moses and Aaron came; Moses came with Aaron, who means Light. Moses represented Jesus because Moses was the first one to come out of Egypt and go to the mountain of God as a Man-child, and he married a Gentile bride, one of seven daughters, representing the Philadelphia church in Revelation chapter three. He waited there for many years for Aaron to come and meet him in the mountain of God. That's the Man-child, with the Light, in the end time caught up to the throne of God.

And both Moses and Aaron went back to deliver the people in Egypt. Then God said to Moses that you shall be to him as God and he shall be thy prophet. And so we see that this Light, this Sword, represented the Great Light and the right to judge. And we see that the first thing that Jesus does in Revelation chapter six is loose the Man-child on the white horse in whom lives Jesus.

That was like Moses and Aaron, or Jesus and the end-time Man-child. Moses spoke the word, and Aaron did the signs and wonders. And the same thing is about to happen in the end times. The Lord is going to speak in the ears because Jesus said, ‘I do always those things I hear of my father.’ He's going to speak in the ears of the Man-child, and the Man-child is going to speak the words, do signs and wonders, and history will be repeated.

Why is it that the Man-child will be counted worthy to take the sword? Because Jesus lives in him by Word and Spirit. It’s not that any man is anything; whoever this is that attains to this authority to use the sword like David did, like Jesus, and like Moses did, it is going to be because of the One Who lives inside, right? Christ in you, the hope of glory.

Let me read on. A multitude of people followed the person who was carrying the great sword. This Great Sword was so very bright that it seemed to cut a path through all the darkness in its path. As the crowd of dark warriors attacked from both sides, I could see they realized they had gotten too close, and they covered their eyes with their arms, cowered to the ground, and just withered away. (This reminds me of Dorothy, who threw water on the wicked witch, and she withered away. I always thought about the water there as the Word. The witch couldn't stand the Word and it put her to death.)

The Light represents the same thing as the Word, doesn't it? This light blinded them. It shriveled them and took away their authority. This is an awesome revelation. I really enjoyed studying it and reading it.

Now, I want to read something to you from Hidden Manna concerning that white horse rider.

Rev.6:1 And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seven seals, and I heard one of the four living creatures saying as with a voice of thunder, Come. 2 And I saw, and behold, a white horse, and he that sat thereon had a bow; and there was given unto him a crown: and he came forth conquering, and to conquer.

The white horse rider is Christ in a modern-day body of believers called the Man-child. Jesus came at the start of the first three and a half years of the disciples' tribulation, and the Man-child will come at the beginning of the first three and a half years of the end-time tribulation. Why must this be the first seal of judgment? 1Pe.4:17 For the time is come for judgment to begin at the house of God: and if it begin first at us, what shall be the end of them that obey not the gospel of God?

Just as the Man-child Jesus brought the unleavened bread of the truth, confirmed with signs and wonders which made Israel and her leaders responsible to repent or be judged, so it will be with the end-time Man-child and spiritual Israel. Joh.9:39 And Jesus said, For judgment came I into this world, that they that see not may see; and that they that see may become blind.

Simeon prophesied that the Man-child Jesus would cause both the reprobation of some and the grafting in of others in Luk.2:34 and Simeon blessed them, and said unto Mary his mother, Behold, this child is set for the falling and the rising of many in Israel; and for a sign which is spoken against;

Jesus was also a sign that the end-time Man-child would bring the same judgment. As it was with Jesus and Judaism, the Man-child will be spoken against by the apostate Christians. Moses, as the Man-child, brought the law, which held the rebels responsible, and brought judgment. It says in Rom.4:15 for the law worketh wrath; but where there is no law, neither is there transgression.

What does the white horse represent? As the mind of man uses his body as a beast of burden to do his work, so the horse is harnessed as a beast of burden to do his work. The horse represents the body or the beast. Psa.147:10 He delighteth not in the strength of the horse: He taketh no pleasure in the legs of a man. Now this verse could fit the other horse riders in Revelation chapter 6, but to ride a white horse symbolizes completely harnessing the strength of your body and mind to do righteous work.

The horse carries the rider like the legs of a man carry the Man-child. Overcomers ride white horses because their body submits to the spiritual man, who submits to the Holy Spirit. The difference between the Man-child and the rest of the riders in Revelation 6 is that he is the one who looses the judgments, as did Jesus, Moses, and Jeremiah. The Man-child will exercise authority and pass it on to the woman to bring the same sword, famine, and death to those who return evil for good in order to save a remnant of God's people from them. Much of this will happen after the mark of the beast, when these people cannot be saved.

Jeremiah was a type of the Man-child who loosed the judgments to come. Jer.18:20 Shall evil be recompensed for good? for they have digged a pit for my soul. Remember how I stood before thee to speak good for them, to turn away thy wrath from them. 21 Therefore deliver up their children to the famine, and give them over to the power of the sword; and let their wives become childless, and widows; and let their men be slain of death, and their young men smitten of the sword in battle. Did you notice that in Revelation chapter 6, the other horse riders were the sword, famine, and death? This is also mentioned in the life of Jeremiah.

Revelation 6:2 And I saw, and behold, a white horse, and he that sat thereon had a bow; and there was given unto him a crown: and he came forth conquering, and to conquer. Notice that he has a bow, but no arrows, meaning they have been sent forth. Apostle means one sent forth. As Jesus was from Judah and sent forth His 12 apostles and then the 70 disciples, so the Man-child is spiritually to a corporate body from Judah and will be the bow that sends forth these arrows.

Zec.9:13 For I have bent Judah for me, I have filled the bow with Ephraim; (Ephraim was called in Hebrew the “fullness of nations” or Gentiles, meaning he represents the woman or the church of all nations.) and I will stir up thy sons, O Zion, against thy sons, O Greece, and will make thee as the sword of a mighty man. 14 And Jehovah shall be seen over them; and his arrow shall go forth as the lightning; and the Lord Jehovah will blow the trumpet, and will go with whirlwinds of the south. 15 Jehovah of hosts will defend them; and they shall devour, and shall tread down the sling-stones; and they shall drink, and make a noise as through wine; and they shall be filled like bowls, like the corners of the altar.

As Jesus' disciples went forth to conquer the mind of the beast that ruled over the elect of God, so will the Man-child's disciples.

Psa.127:3 Lo, children are a heritage of Jehovah; And the fruit of the womb is his reward. 4 As arrows in the hand of a mighty man, So are the children of youth. Jesus' disciples, whom He sent out like arrows, were His children of youth, for He has had many since then. He called His disciples children in John 13:33 and John 21:5. In Isaiah's prophecy of the coming of Jesus as Immanuel, he called his disciples his children. Isaiah 7:14, 8 and Isaiah 16:18.

The worldwide Man-child will send forth the disciple arrows to conquer the flesh, the beast, and the devil. Psa.127:5 Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them (full of arrows): They shall not be put to shame, When they speak with their enemies in the gate. The disciple-arrows will go forth to conquer the enemies in the gate of the kingdom with the spoken Word, Jesus, Who is the Light, and called His disciples sons of light. Joh.12:36 While ye have the light, believe on the light, that ye may become sons of light. These things spake Jesus, and he departed and hid himself from them.

Joh.3:19 And this is the judgment, that the light (Notice the light, which is the sword in our revelation from Tom.) is come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the light; for their works were evil. He said, “This is the judgment.” So whenever truth, whenever light comes into the world, this is the judgment. This is the foundation for judgment. The Man-child and the disciple arrows will once more bring the light of truth, which will judge the world. We think we're seeing judgment now, nothing like what we're about to see.

This judgment will begin at the house of God, and it will spread outward. And as it was with Jesus, those who reject the light will be reprobated, while those who accept it will be the sons of the light. Like the Man-child, Jesus spoke the judgment that the god of this world, who blinds the minds of the unbelieving carried out. (2Co.4:4) Why? Because the devil is the one who administers the curse. He has a legal right to do that, and quite often judges even God's people when they get out from under the blood, right?

Mat.13:14 And unto them is fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah, which saith, By hearing ye shall hear, and shall in no wise understand; And seeing ye shall see, and shall in no wise perceive: That was a judgment upon them. The white horse rider will bring truth, which is the foundation for all judgment. Remember that Moses, who was the white horse rider of his day, brought all the judgments upon Egypt. In fulfillment of that type, the Man-child will lead all the other judgment horses of Revelation chapter 6 against the world.

In her book, Prepare for the Winds of Change II, chapter 1, Nita Johnson relates her vision describing the white horse rider's ministry. You will notice that it is the Word that goes forth from the anointed teachers of the end times, as they call the elect out of Babylon, and brings judgment or delivers from it. My notes are in parentheses.

On January 10, 1990, I was granted a visitation by an angel. When I first saw this majestic being, I was awestruck by his beauty, his power, and his obvious authority. He was dressed in a white garb resembling an old Roman military uniform. (This is the Roman armor spoken of in Ephesians 6:13-17 during the time of the worldwide Roman Empire.) His belt and type of breastplate were of gold. His whole appearance seemed to glow with the glow of heaven itself. He was riding an equally beautiful and powerful white war-horse. Both horse and rider were very large. The horse was much larger than any horse you and I would ever have occasion to see here on earth. It was indeed obvious that this incredible being was one of God’s higher-ranking dignitaries. (The large size of the white horse implies a corporate body of people whose bodies have become submissive beasts of burden, or, in other words, they have a holy walk. Since angelos is the Greek word for messenger, this large messenger represents the corporate body of the Man-child.)

I was frightened by the sight of him and would soon find myself quite distressed over his message to us. I first saw him as he rode this incredible white war-horse down what could have been any street in a typical subdivision anywhere in America. He was carrying a huge sword in his hand (This represents the spoken Word of God [Heb.4:12]). This Instrument was actually long enough to be a lance, but its shape was that of a sword. With it, he would touch the roof of the houses on either side of the road out of every two or three he passed, thereby bringing judgment. He would declare, “Let the judgment fall from the greatest to the least of the unrepentant.”

I then found myself standing at the end of this same street watching intently and fearfully as this illustrious angel moved down the street in my direction. After every house that he cursed, he would proclaim warnings, as it were, into the streets. “Great judgment is coming to the lovers of this world. Those unrepentant and cripplers of the children - fear!” Again and again, he would exclaim, “Babylon is falling! Come out; come out of her my children. Take nothing with you; only the clothes on your back and don’t begrudge the cost. Judgment is coming at midnight. The hour is 11:55! I say don’t mourn the loss, only come away: Come out of her. Run from the daughter of wickedness! Time is at an end. Judgment is sure...,” this he would cry out over and over again, as one would imagine a town crier doing, such as Paul Revere of old.

He came to a standstill in front of me, sitting on his horse; he spoke with me, giving me a great deal of instruction. Calling me by name, he said, “Nita, warn the people. Warn the people of the earth that judgment is coming at midnight, and the hour is even now 11:55. Everywhere tell them to heed the teachers. Heed my anointed, for their counsel is sure, and is the way of safety and life. Counsel is coming from behind the veil. Among other things, counsel concerning spiritual warfare. Government is again coming to the Church, and God is bringing forth the mighty men of valor to lead the Church forth in war. Tell my people; Heed the teachers, for their counsel is sure and will provide safety in treacherous times. Heed the prophets and apostles; heed my anointed, for their counsel is sure and a way of safety and life. (Jesus, as the Man-child was called Teacher, Prophet, and Apostle.)

God will be lifting up specially anointed teachers, prophets of the Most High. They will be given the rod of government. They will carry the sword (as this angel does in type), bringing separation and judgment and will be healers of great breaches among My own. (They will be used to bring the true flock into one accord with their one Shepherd, Jesus, as He prophesied.) They will prepare the saints with battle strategy and equip them with the power of a mighty warrior, bearing the anointing to spoil. (They will bring judgment on the Beast and Harlot systems.) Heaven’s government is coming in to separate, heal, and lead out into strategic battle. These prophets will be teachers who will be given counsel from behind the veil. Counsel of superior wisdom and strategy for safety, unity and spiritual warfare. They will be taken into the secret counsel of the Most High to obtain what must be diligently taught to the elect. This counsel will provide safety in treacherous times. Don’t mourn, only heed the voice of the Spirit of counsel and might. Tell my people to heed the coming anointed ones; tell them to prepare!” (Jesus comes as the latter rain to anoint the Man-child reformers.)

From that point, he began to share many things. He gave much instruction, much information, and much warning. He finally told me I would find further understanding of these things in the book of Zechariah. “Study it, understand it, let the Holy Spirit give you much enlightenment in it,” he instructed. In closing, he said one more time, “Go forth now and tell the people of the earth. Warn them judgment is coming and it’s sure.” Then he left, and I was alone in my room.

(Jesus manifested in these anointed apostolic teachers and prophets will be the foundation for God’s plan to “restore thy judges as at the first, and thy counsellors as at the beginning: afterward thou shalt be called The city of righteousness, a faithful town” (Isa.1:26).

We're going to see the days of the ministry of Jesus again on this earth. It's not going to give any credit to man. It's going to be because God has willed it in this time, and He's prophesied it in Revelation chapter 12, and it's about to happen.

Marion Carney had a dream on 4/25/08 about a baby being born. The mother was lying on her side with her legs kind of bent upwards towards her chest. The baby that was being delivered was clean. No blood, no umbilical cord. It was nice and clean and had perfect, colored skin, no blemishes whatsoever. It was smiling as it was being born. Its hair was perfectly combed, and the baby was beautiful.

And obviously, since it had no umbilical cord, it wasn't being fed by the mother, but the Father. And it will be perfect. It will come into the world with a perfected Spirit and that of Jesus. Thank you, Father.)

Now let me share this dream with you that parallels the above revelations.

Maturity and the White Horse Rider

G. C. - 09/27/2008 (David's notes in red)

In a dream, I found myself in the company of two men. One was an old, worldly friend of mine, named David H. The other was his younger brother. (In real life David H. has no younger brother, so this has to be spiritual and symbolic.) In this dream, David H. had an understanding of the Man-child and knew much of the unleavened bread, but I had this feeling he was not walking in obedience. (Many, in a form of Gnosticism, feel that knowledge is all that is needed to be chosen, but only fruit can bring that prize.) I had the impression that although David H. had a deep understanding of the Word, he was in adultery with the world. (Knowledge makes one more responsible before the Lord to be obedient and turn from the world for the Master's use.) His little brother was younger and immature in knowledge but was not corrupted -- he was a blank slate. (Neither of these will be in the first-fruits, but the second is guiltless and will recognize and follow them; the false Davids will not.)

We were gathered together and were receiving information about the sign of the Man-child's coming. I don't know what the source was -- media or a person speaking directly to us. The information told us that we had to have gray hair in order to be in the Man-child. (Gray hair represents wisdom and maturity, meaning walking in the knowledge of the truth.) That is when my friend David H. snickered; being carnal, he resisted the thought of being gray-headed at such a young age. That is when I saw David Eells in a vision. He was very much pleased by this announcement and said humbly, “Hey, I have gray hair.” (I am being used as a type of the Davids who make up the worldwide man-child ministry.)

The scene changed and I was asked by a friend to help him work at a farm. (The Lord is our friend and the farmer, if we obey Him. Joh.15:14 Ye are my friends, if ye do the things which I command you.) There were many things to be done there, and he needed me to do a task for him. We went to the farm, and as I was walking around, I noticed everything was neat and clean; even the barn and stalls were very clean. (The horses [harnessed flesh] are not in the stall but going to work. This is probably speaking of the Revelation 6 horses of judgment loosed during the tribulation.) A lot of walls were a bright and clean white. (White walls represent sanctification.)

The friend showed me what seemed to be the deck of a large boat. It was very large and seemed to be like a dance floor, as well. The boat, however, was built into the ground. (This Gospel ship is very stable, its roots planted in the earth like the seed that bears fruit in the parable of the sower. Also, we have many revelations of an ark/ship-shaped piece of land in TN that the Lord has promised us as a refuge school to send out witnesses.) He said there was going to be a huge party here for the farmer's friends. (The farmer is the Lord, and we are His friends, farm hands, and crop. The party in another parable is the seven-day Marriage Feast, which is the last seven days/years that the Bride feasts with the Groom before the Bride goes to the Groom's home in Heaven. We call this period the tribulation.)

He said that it was possible that something would occur during this party to cause the floor to shake and shift which would make all the people on the floor to fall or lose balance. (This shaking of the ship built in the ground when the Man-child comes, and the horse judgments are loosed beginning at the tribulation reminds us of the revelations that earthquakes in TN would separate this ship from the land around it, causing a deep abyss to open up around it like a cleft in the rock and then fill the abyss with water, making this refuge the Lord has likened to a Zion. Also, the covenant with many at the beginning of the tribulation could involve imposing a division of Israel's land for peace, in which case we have seen the results of these actions previously, and the results are always judgment on America. I believe the Lord has spoken that when America divides Israel, America will be divided. In other words, this could be the New Madrid and TN Valley separations.)

He gave me a long roll of a rubber material that had the texture and feel of skateboard grip tape to place in the very center of the deck, so that the people would have somewhere to stand and maintain their balance during the shaking. (The Lord will give stability to those who are friends, keeping the marriage feast on the bread and wine of the Word and life of Christ.) I grabbed the roll and some tar. I laid the tar down in the center of the deck and unrolled the material over it. When I was done, I was seeing if the material would give traction, and it did, but I was surprised how narrow the path was. It was only about 10-12 inches wide and 30 yards long. (Those on the narrow path will not lose their footing and stumble out of the way. If the people did not want to fall during the shaking, they would have to stand on this narrow strip; there were no other options. What stipulates the parameters of the narrow path? Obedience to God's Word, which His faithful friends will be. We have been shown that these shakings will cause many of the original landowners, including some Christians, to flee the area of the ship, leaving it to those who know they are called of God to be there.)

After this, I went home where my friend David H. and his younger brother were. I remember waking up in the morning and walking down the hallway and hearing an audible transmission in my ear! It was David Eells; he was speaking about the coming Man-child. I was so shocked that I could hear this in my head. I screamed to my friend David H. in the living room, “Hey, I hear David Eells in my ear!” (The gift of hearing the Spirit and message from the David Man-children is given to those who walk on the narrow path. This revelation was given before I was given a gift to speak to people or groups in the Spirit. Also, we believe this will be the timing of our messages going out in a much greater way through the airwaves.)

He was saying something about the sign of the man-child coming. He spoke about the Man-child mounting the horse being the sign to watch for. I feel that he said it was about to occur, but I cannot remember his exact words. All I know is that he said this was the sign. (I feel this means that the first-fruits will soon bring their flesh into complete submission.) (It reminded me of Revelation 6:1,2 when the first seal was broken and the rider was sent forth. It seems that the rider is now being mounted and being prepared to go out conquering. 1 And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seven seals, and I heard one of the four living creatures saying as with a voice of thunder, Come. 2 And I saw, and behold, a white horse, and he that sat thereon had a bow; and there was given unto him a crown: and he came forth conquering, and to conquer. The Man-child is about to ride the white horse, symbolizing his submitted flesh. This is who will lead the Bride in Zion, just as Moses, Joseph and David of old were types.)

That is when I began to fellowship with the two brothers in the living room. David H., having understanding about the Unleavened Bread, did not seem too interested in the sign to come, which was disheartening. (He could not hear the voice of the Spirit because he had no desire for the sign of submitted flesh.) Instead, he was on the floor playing with a toy car. It was a yellow and red '60s-style Corvette that had a Simpson's emblem on the hood. (A symbol of those who live a foolish, playboy life when judgment is coming for them. Yellow and red are warning colors, warning those who want to be a part of the first-fruits or Bride against a careless lifestyle.) Inside the car were cigarette packs and other paraphernalia that are evidence of a sinful life. (A symbol of receiving unclean breath or spirits). At that point I knew that David H. had been lying to me the whole time about his walk. (A false David intent on impressing men but not God.) I realized that he thought he was justified by his knowledge and did not need to live according to truth.

That is when I turned my attention to the younger brother. He was sitting in the chair across from mine. I began to tell him about the truth of grace. I went into a long explanation of how, when I got the revelation of what grace was, it changed my whole life. I told him most Christians believe grace just covers your disobedience and allows you a get-out-of-jail-free card. I told him that I once thought like that as well, but I still had the nagging sinful nature in my life. I explained that I finally came to the understanding that grace is the free gift of removing the sinful nature from us completely. It brings us to a place where we can be cut away from the flesh, not just to be content living with it. I began to really feel the anointing as I explained the difference between the two, and the youngster began to receive every word with joy. His eyes were gleaming and he said, “You are so smart!” I was encouraged by his vigor, but I had to quickly correct what he just said. I explained that it is not because of my smarts and intelligence that led me to the revelation; it was the Lord's grace. He got to see first-hand true grace in a believer's life: the unmerited gift of wisdom and truth. End of dream. (Many, because of their greasy grace doctrines, will not only miss being in the first-fruits, they will not even recognize those who are, as it was in Jesus' day and as it was with David H.)

Note: I have not seen or spoken to David H. in many years. To be honest, we weren't very close. I know the only reason the Lord used him in the dream was because of his name. In real life, David is not a believer, and I would venture to say he has no understanding of the Man-child. But in the dream, David H. considered himself in right standing because of the knowledge he had acquired through UBM, but he has yet to crucify the flesh. His knowledge did not help him overcome; it seemed he was just a cloud without rain. I feel he is the tare that has mingled himself among the David Ministry.

David Eells, on the other hand, represents in this dream the other segment of “Davids” in UBM, or the church as a whole. The ones with the true nature of the man-child. He had the gray hair, which to me represents wisdom and submission. Even though David H. knew that having gray hair was a condition of being in the Man-child, he did not want it. He did not want to submit his head (thoughts) to Christ. Due to his carelessness, he, being like Esau, the first-born, will lose his inheritance to the second-born. What the first-born threw away, the next in line will receive. (“Let no man take thy crown”. The second-born will step forward and take what the first-born despised by his actions.)

Although the younger brother was totally ignorant of any deep revelation, he was undefiled. He would make an excellent vessel which the Lord could use. It did not matter if he had no understanding; that is not what the Lord is looking for. He can give anyone understanding. What he wants are empty vessels to fill.

I have some thoughts on the boat deck where the party was to be held. During a great storm, standing on a boat deck is dangerous and sometimes impossible to keep your footing. I am reminded of times I have seen footage of sailors on fishing rigs during a huge storm -- they are falling and tenaciously holding onto the rails. This is what would occur during this party -- a great shaking; many will fail to keep standing unless they stand on the narrow path in the center of the deck. The boat was also built into the dirt, and I feel that this has something to do with the great shaking that is to occur. (The dirt and the flesh represent the same thing here. The flesh will be shaken, and the fearful and double-minded will fall away. The fault lines that form this ship in the ground will scare many away.) The earth will shake and cause the boat, or church, to shake. The farmer had invited his friends to a party, but they will be tried by shaking. (This comes with the coming of the Lord as scripture says.)

David and I had a talk about the boat, and why it was built on the ground. Although he did help me come to a better understanding, I was still questioning what the significance was. I knew it had to mean something. After we spoke, I was listening to a worship song, and in it the singer mentioned Noah. At that moment, the Lord spoke to me, “Just as it was in the days of Noah, so also will it be in the days of the Son of Man”. Then I realized that Noah built his boat on the ground, and many mocked because it had never rained before. I would bet that the boat I saw that was built on the ground looked just as out of place as Noah's ark! We know that the ark is a place of safety on the earth during the rain and during the flood and as the ark lifted off, just as Noah's ark was for his family and him.

History is about to repeat, but this time on a larger worldwide scale. As I write this, I am in awe of how the Lord hides these hidden treasures in dreams. Without his grace and revelation, I would never have seen the significance of the boat being built on the ground. (Since we received many more revelations concerning this refuge ship or ark, we now understand why this question about the ship in the ground was so significant in G. W.’s mind. It is truly going to be a preservation to the Bride and a place from which she can minister to the Church, as was Esther's circumstance.)

On September 30, I was given more on this dream:

Below is an excerpt of Michael Boldea's dream last year on October 29. It is on their website. I saw many things line up with my dream. He saw the preparations being made in a horse stable or barn for the sending forth of the riders on the horse. He said the building was white, pristine, and immaculate. That is exactly the way I saw this stable or barn when I walked through it in my dream. The building was so clean; all the walls were white and I was taken aback at how clean this barn was. Even the stables were neat and clean; they were empty, too. It looked like a germ-free environment, but not in the sense of a sterile laboratory; it still had that 'barn' feel. At the farm, the farmer was making many preparations and had many things going on. I saw servants running to and fro, doing many tasks in preparation for something big. It is also no coincidence that right after I left the farm I was given the word that the Man-child is mounting the horse!

Excerpt From Michael Boldea's dream 10/29/07:

I barely touched the hand that was extended toward me when my bed and my bedroom evaporated, and I found myself standing before a white, oblong building that looked a lot like a barn or a horse stable. Two large doors made up the front of the structure and as I looked, they began to swing open.

I knew wherever I was it was not of this earth, because everything shone; everything was white, pristine, immaculate.

I also knew that whatever the reason for being shown this was about to be revealed, so I stood in silence, holding the messenger's hand.

As soon as the doors were fully open, I saw an angel that looked very much like the one standing beside me, except without the armor, leading a white horse by its reins. The horse was large and muscular, but he followed the angel obediently with its head bent low. The angel's countenance was somber as he led the horse away, and for some reason this registered with great clarity. (Like Moses, the white horse rider looses all the other horse judgments upon the world.)

I looked up to the messenger whose hand I was still holding, but he merely nodded toward the white building and the open doors, and said, “Witness”.

Another angel soon appeared in the doorway, holding the reins of a red horse, following after the first. I began to realize what I was seeing, and in silence watched as two more angels appeared, each holding the reins of a horse: one black; one of no discernible color, just pale. All four angels were dressed alike, and had the same somber, sorrowful countenance.

I stood and watched as all four horses were led out of my sight, and finally when they had disappeared from view, the messenger turned to me and said, “Go and tell what you have seen. The riders prepare, the horses are ready, and soon they will descend; soon they will be loosed. Remember what you have witnessed, and do not hold back a single word. Soon they descend on wings of fury; soon turmoil will shake earth's very foundation.
