Dear Phyllis,
I don't know what to say. This has been a slow week. It is like life is at a stand still, and yet the world is on fire. I don't have TV and never see any English publications. But I do have a computer and look at Fox News everyday. The international situation is breath taking. Last week Benjamin Netanyahu spoke to the US congress. I believe that will go down as one of the most historic speeches ever delivered to that body. Barack Obama promised to transform America, and he has done it. I believe he has already changed America more than any man who ever sat in that office. We have 20 months left and there is considerable fear that we may not survive another 20 months. All commentators say what we are witnessing is a rerun or the 1930s in Europe. One of history's most infamous political acts was by Neville Chamberlain in appeasing Hitler in 1938. He was hailed as the savior of England, but history proved that he was nearly the England's mortician. What England experienced in the next seven years was catastrophic. Very few people today realize how close England was to annihilation. Very few are students of history, and every indication is that we are exactly on course for history to repeat itself. But there is one significant difference – the issues are far more dangerous now. We were dealing with conventional bombs then, but today we are confronted with nuclear.
There are four sevens in the Book of Revelation. There are the first Seven Seals. Then the Seven Trumpets, the Seven Angels in chapter 14, and theSeven Bowels of the wrath of God. I am sure these events are not linear. They have got to be cyclic.
The Seven Seals are: 1th the white horse (the beast); 2nd the red horse (war); 3rd the black horse (economic collapse); 4th the pale horse (pestilence); 5thThe souls under the altar (persecution), 6th the end. The 7th Seal seems to be an explanation on how this all happens.
The Seven Trumpets and the Seven Bowels are nearly identical. The Seven Trumpets are; 1st the vegetation is burned; 2nd the ocean; 3rd the rivers; 4ththe atmosphere; 5th the pit; 6th the Euphrates. The 7th Trumpet is a repeat of the what just happened except upgraded. The Seven Bowels are: 1st soarson those who had the mark of the beast; 2nd the ocean – except in the Trumpets 1/3 of the ocean was destroyed, here it is every living thing; 3rd therivers – except in the Trumpets 1/3 became bitter, here it is they all became blood; 4th the atmosphere – except in the Trumpets it was 1/3 was darkened; here it is men are scorched by the sun; 5th the kingdom – except in the trumpets it was demons from the pit for five months, here it is thick darkness; 6th the Euphrates – except in the Trumpets 1/3 of the men were killed, here the blood runs up to a horses bridal. And the 7th Bowel is exactly the same as the 6th Seal that we saw in chapter 6:12-17. That is Armageddon.
We see by this that these events are basically cyclic except each time around they get worse. A blind man with one glass eye can see what is happening. Some commentators say the 3rd World War has already begun except it is extreme Islam rather Hitler. Few people realize the horrific destruction of England from 1940 to 1945. Frankfort and Berlin in Germany looked like Hiroshima. And Tokyo looked like Hiroshima, only worse. The thing that frightens me the most is that America has yet to answer to God for being the primary source of filth to the world and sexual perversion. When America is dealt with by God for that I fear it will be far worse than what happened to England. It is not a matter of IF, but WHEN the ax falls.
The good news is that daily I am overwhelmed by the amazing thing the Lord has done in giving me Pammy. The other day it just struck what a miracle that the house is filled with excellent Christian music all day long. Her taste in music is superb. We have three boys staying with us. The other day she posted a sign “7 PM Bible study and prayer” and she added, no excuses. Pammy doesn't have the personal discipline to enforce this, but I do. I'm glad it came from her, so now I can implement it. We have had some good times. Pammy is usually up a couple of times during the night praying. She has another sign, “House of 24 hour prayer”. She told me the other day, “I feel I will die if I can't witness”. And she certainly does. And Pammy is really working hard at how to handle herself when we have squalls, how to reestablish peace. She is doing extremely well in that area.
For myself, I daily grieve that the Lord has placed me in the most remote area on the shelf. There is so much of the Word of God exploding inside me that I feel like an old wine skin ready to burst with new wine. I beg God for a microphone. But the Lord has consigned me to silence. Paul is ministering to a large constituency ranging from Africa to Pakistan. He calls me lazy for not getting the message out. I come back, “How?” He said, “Get on Facebook”. Okay. He got me set up on Facebook but I didn't know how to use it. I started writing one page daily devotionals and pasted them on his Uncle Paul's Bible Study. Then Paul and I had a falling out and he cut me off. Pascal set it up so I could post my devotional on my own page. Okay. But everyday there were hundreds that wanted to be my friend. Then Paul said the Thai government would get on me for having so many under age Vietnamese girls on my friend list. I don't know one in a hundred of all that want to be my friend. I tried to be selective to accept only Christians but then every evangelist was posting his sermons on my page. Hang it! It ain't worth it! I deleted Facebook.
I don't know what to do. I have been writing these daily devotionals for three months now. Apart from teaching children in the kindergarten 30 minutes every morning, writing is the only activity I have. Every day I ask the Lord to say through me the things that He wants to get out. When I am finished I am amazed at what has been set down. I feel terrifically exercised that some of this is material should get out. But here it looks like the Lord and I are having a disagreement. I refuse to get in line with every evangelist that feels his message is the most important one to be heard. But I am sitting here with a computer full of messages that makes me feel like the old wine skin about to burst. I say the Lord closed me down on Facebook. Paul does fantastic, but I flat don't know how to use that dumb thing. The only list I have is you. I would be delighted to send you some of this material but I am reluctant to join the gang flooding Internet with their own thoughts. Tonikaku (anyway) here I am waiting on Jesus.
Your brother,
bill
