The Lord gave me a word concerning the season that is before us:
THE TRUMPET
by Bill Burns
8/18/02
I say to you, Church, watch for the days of awe. For indeed these will be awesome days, but even within that time period, within the Feasts of Israel, watch. Kingdoms shall be heaved up, and kingdoms shall be brought down. Watch, I say, and prepare your heart for the days ahead. Watch, I say, and prepare your mind and your spirit for those things that are coming upon the earth. There will be those things that will cause the hearts of men to fear and fail. But in you, My People, it shall not be spoken of, for I am releasing a spirit of boldness upon you. I am bringing forth a chosen generation, a third-day generation who will live in resurrection power in this time frame, says the Lord. I am preparing you these days by My Spirit, for it must be, for those things which are coming will require a chosen generation of spiritual children who shall come forth in the power and fullness of the Spirit even as when I walked upon the earth in the days of My glory. I say to you, open your heart and mind and spirit and seek Me with all of your heart. Will I not pour out upon you that which is required? Will that which is written not come to pass? Will I not come among My people and prepare them for the end of all things and the end of all time? I say yes, I will. As surely as I come and touch your heart today I will walk with you to the end of the age.
This year, the first anniversary of the destruction of the World Trade Center (September 11th) occurs during the Days of Awe. The Days of Awe are the ten days from the Feast of Trumpets (September 7) to the feast of the Day of Atonement (September 16).
The Days of Awe are a time period in which the unrighteous are given time to repent before the Day of Atonement. Those who remain unrepentant will not be covered by the blood of atonement and will come under the judgment of God. I believe that God's judgment is about to come upon the nations that are not serving Him and also those who are against His people, Israel.
It is also possible that America will also experience another terrorist attack during this time period. My wife, Marsha Burns, recently had a dream in which she was in a classroom, and on the blackboard was written "911 (x2)." This could mean that another 9-11 disaster could take place if the Church does not continue to pray.
On September 11, 2001, a demonic gateway of destruction in the spirit world was opened over America. The Church is the only defense against this spiritual gateway and must pray for closure to take place.
I have been seeking God for confirmation of the word given to me on August 18 concerning the judgments which would come upon the nations. The word says that some kingdoms would be heaved up (exalted through victory) and some kingdoms brought down (through defeat).
Today, Arutz Sheva (Israel National News) ran an article about the southern wall of the temple mount. The article talked about the appearance of a large "bulge" in the wall. It is believed that the "bulge" is going to cause the southeast corner of the wall to fall "within a matter of months and possibly even weeks."
The Trumpet word refers to "a third-day generation who will live in resurrection power (beginning) in this time frame." Because this is a third-day sign in the earth of what is about to take place, we will find the answer in Isaiah chapter 30.
Isaiah 30:13 Therefore this iniquity shall be to you like a breach ready to fall, a bulge in a high wall, whose breaking comes suddenly, in an instant.
Isaiah was speaking to a rebellious people who were trusting in the things in the world (Egypt). These people are those who do not want to hear the word of the Lord which brings correction (see verses 9-11). But, Isaiah was also speaking to the beast nations to the south of Jerusalem.
Isaiah 30:6 The burden against the beasts of the South. Through a land of trouble and anguish, From which came the lioness and lion, The viper and fiery flying serpent, They will carry their riches on the backs of young donkeys, And their treasures on the humps of camels, To a people who shall not profit
Remember, it is the south wall of the temple wall that has a bulge in it and is about to fall. The beast nations are the Muslim nations, which have oppressed Israel throughout history. Assyria was the first nation to oppress Israel and, therefore, represents the beasts of the south. The heart of Assyria was located between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers where modern-day Iraq and Iran are located.
Isaiah 30:30 The LORD will cause His glorious voice to be heard, and show the descent of His arm, with the indignation of His anger and the flame of a devouring fire, with scattering, tempest, and hailstones.
Isaiah 30:31 For through the voice of the LORD Assyria will be beaten down, as He strikes with the rod.Jordan will most likely be a key player in what is about to occur because the article in the Arutz states, "A Jordanian delegation arrived at the Temple Mount a few days ago to check the situation of the wall."
The Trumpet word mentions the feasts of Israel, which is also mentioned in Isaiah's prophecy.
Isaiah 30:29 You shall have a song as in the night when a holy festival is kept, and gladness of heart as when one goes with a flute, to come into the mountain of the LORD, to the Mighty One of Israel.
Those who trust in the Lord in these times do not have to fear those things which are coming upon the earth. In fact, the Lord said that these will be awesome days for His people. This is also spoken of by the prophet Isaiah (read verses 18 to 25 of chapter 30).
Isaiah 30:25 There will be on every high mountain and on every high hill rivers and streams of waters, in the day of the great slaughter, when the towers fall.
I do not know for certain that this will come to pass this year or the next, for the Lord did not say which year. He just said during the Days of Awe. However, I do know that these things are near, even at the door. And, I do believe that things will be set in motion during this time frame that will majorly affect the future and mankind. The Master did say that He is preparing us now for that which is coming, and He did tell us to "watch" during this coming season, and that would include prayer.
The Church should not be trusting in Egypt, which represents the world systems. We should be looking unto Jesus and trusting absolutely in His kingdom.
Psalm 103:1-5 Bless the LORD, O my soul; and all that is within me, bless His holy name! Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits: Who forgives all your iniquities, Who heals all your diseases, Who redeems your life from destruction, Who crowns you with lovingkindness and tender mercies, Who satisfies your mouth with good things, so that your youth is renewed like the eagle's.
