Your average Christian and Messianic would be shocked to discover just how psychically manipulated he or she is by the demonic. They're not even aware that concerted demonic attention is being paid to them to ensure that disconnect from Yahweh and listen to false invisible sources for their information whether. So what I have to share today will likely cause offence to many and be disbelieved and dismissed out of hand. I am obliged to share it with you, though, so that you will know, if you choose to reject this counsel (which I expect you to test), why such inner chaos follows on outer chaos as the collapse gets under way.

Yesterday morning Yahweh opened up a vision to me, for the second of third time, of a woman in my age group or possibly a little older. She lived in overflowing physical luxury. Every finger of her two hands was covered with expensive diamond- or other precious jewel-rings which was the thing that alerted me to the identity of the person as the Whore of Babylon.

Over the years as a deliverance minister Yahweh has shown me what I call the 'phenomenon of psychic rings'. These consist of various rings which I see in vision that the person I am ministering to is wearing on their spiritual hand, as it were. Like the wedding ring on a woman which both identifies her as married and symbolises her husband's authority over her, so other rings in the invisible represent other authorities over us that we have, for instance, admitted as the result of sin. A promiscuous woman would, in the invisible, be wearing mutliple rings connecting her psychically to all the men she has, or has had, ungodly relationships with. These need not be physical, though the physical aspect is certainly a part of it, but can simply be a heart- or soul-connection given out of biblical tavnith (pattern). Thus a woman longing for another man she is not married to would have such a ring on her finger, in this case, a ring denoting the spirit of lust and the authority given to another thereby. The ring is the 'token' of the controlling demon. But a ring is not necessarily limited to adultery or fornication - it can be any sort of ungodly attachment that confers authority on a controlling or influencing demonic power.

In the course of deliverance in the past I have had occasion, with the permission of the one being ministered to, to in prayer remove such rings. Once such ring had been acquired by a woman, unbeknown to her save for the inner turmoil brought about by the controlling demon, because she had been raped by a pedophile in her youth, establishing an ungoldly soul-tie between the two that allowed free movement of demons between the two. Other kinds of rings can simply be giving somebody ungodly authority over your life like, for instance, a cult leader, who stands idolatrously in the place of Elohim (God). Usually, though, rings pertain to marriage and the corruption thereof, though not always, whether on the physical or psychic level. Involvement in pornography will establish such destructive invisible ties and vows represented by psychic rings.

As I looked at this woman, who I am assuming was a demon (though it's possible such could have been a human operative serving demonic interests in the underground world of satanic cults) I was aware that her goal was to influence and control what occultists call the 'Third Eye', the invisible organ of our inner visionary system. When a husband and wife unite physically, psychically and spiritually, they become echad or one on those levels, they are described both metaphorically and literally. They both literally and symbolically 'know' one another under the movement and influence of the justifying authority, in this case, because their union was godly, under the Ruach haQodesh (Holy Spirit). Thus when Scripture says that Adam "knew" Eve it was both a metaphor for sexual union as well as a description of actual 'soul kinowledge' that comes about as a result of such intimacy. When men and women operate sexually outside the marriage covenant in the act of fornication (or worse, adultery), they 'know' one another but this time under the movement and influence of the lawless authority they have unknowingly and unconsciously yielded to, namely, Satan, who is thereby given acess through one or more demons to influence them negatively until they have repented and live a pure life under godly covenants. Thus "blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see (know) Elohim (God)" (Matt.5:8, NIV). When a demon is present in a scripturally unauthorised union, the couple will 'see' and 'know' one another through the highly distorted lens of the mediating or controlling dark forces.

I don't want to make today's message a pep talk about sexual immorality as this subject is already covered at length in numerous materials elsewhere. What concerns me - for this was the substance of yesterday's vision - is that the majority of believers are spiritually operating under divers forms of ungodly soul-ties which is giving the Enemy licence to distort their discernment of reality and most especially of Yahweh's will for them at such a critical time as this. Those labouring under such a handicap are forced to turn to Scripture until they are properly connected with Yahweh again and can have more the double witness. So my task today is to talk to you about the different orders of demons that wage war against humanity and to encoruage you to take the necessary steps in your spiritual prepping to be finally done with them before Yom Teruah.

Heaven, hell and earth all co-exist in the same physical space but in different dimensions. If you can imagine an onion with two skins on it, we live on planet earth, referred to in scripture (specifically our atmosphere) as the 'first heaven'. In the same physical space but in a parallel dimension is what occultists call the 'astral' or 'psychic plane' which is the abode of the demonic which they have conquered. When unregenerated believers and unbelievers speak of having had some sort of 'spiritual' manifestation, it is this dimension they have accessed or made contact with. It is known as the 'second heaven'. I call it 'Satan's theatre' because this is where he puts on all his shows and displays with which to deceive 'religious' people that they are having some kind of a 'spiritual' encounter with 'God'...which they are, only it is with the god of this world who knows how to impersonate malakim (angels) and Elohim, (God). The woman I saw in vision, with all that psychic ordnance on her fingers, is chiefly occupied, under her master, in convincing impure and unregenerated believers and those from other religions that they are dealing with Divine Reality when they are being deceived by a counterfeit. The third 'onion skin' or layer, as it were, also exists in the same physical space but is likewise in a different dimension, and is the 'third heaven' where Elohim (God), the faithful malakim (angels) and the righteous dead live. It was to this place that a "man in Messiah", whom Paul knew, was taken (2 Cor.12:2) and who "was caught up to paradise. He heard inexpressible things, things that man is not permitted to tell" (2 Cor 12:4, NIV). When Yah'shua (Jesus) described Satan as "fall[ing] like lightning from heaven" (Luke 10:18, NIV), it was his removal from the third heaven to the second after his rebellion that he was describing. When Paul describes Satan as "the prince of the power of the air, the spirit who now works in the sons of disobedience, among whom also we all once conducted ourselves in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath" (Eph.2:2-3, NKJV), it is to the non-material dimension that is the 'second heaven' of which he is speaking using 'air' as a metaphor for the psychic in the same way that 'breath' and 'wind' are used as metaphors for the Ruach haQodesh (Holy Spirit) who is of the 'third heaven'.

There may therefore be said to be a demonic realm (second heaven) between Yahweh (third heaven) and us (first heaven). We know that this is the case, and that Yahweh's malakim (angels) must fight in order to pass between earth and the 'third heaven' (which I'll simply call 'Heaven' to make it simpler). You will, I am sure, recall how a messenger from Yahweh sent to the navi (prophet) Daniel was delayed from getting to him 21 days by the demonic principality [1] governing Persia (where Daniel was) that required the assistance of the senior malak or archangel Michael (Dan.10:13) for him to finally break through. This being undeniably true, that Yahweh's messengers must on occasion spend three weeks to get to a destination on earth, as was the case of the messenger sent to Daniel, we should not underestimate the power of the 'dark side'. Consider the possibility that some believers aren't getting anywhere is because they aren't engaging in spiritual warfare at all or don't fully grasp what they are dealing with. The vast majority of believers do not, in any case, actually believe in a dark spiritual world inhabited by evil entities or if they do only give a casual acknowledgement to it as though it were something very distant. Though (deceivers that they are imitating their dark invisible lords) devil-worshippers deny in public that demons exist, taking the atheist line in order make believers looks like primitive fools, they in fact know full well of the reality of the 'second heaven' (though they don't call it that) - and are deceived into believing that Satan is more powerful than Yahweh - and have an existentialist relationship with the dark powers. They know demons are real and exploit them, as they suppose, for their own purposes, even though they are in reality slaves serving the Enemy's agenda. Find a devil worshipper who has converted to Messiah and learn from them - there are plenty of such testimonies online [2].

A huge problem that believers face - the biggest, in fact, I would like to suggest - is that there is such a huge credibility gap between what their traditions have taught them and what reality actually is. Understandably, those who are really in the know (demon-worshippers), in order to protect themselves, engage in massive disinformation activity on-line and in the public media generally, protected as they often are in high places anyway, even if they are becoming progressively more and more public about what they actually believe and do, as a world in spiritual rebellion against Elohim (God) becomes more and more prepared to accept and do the unthinkable.

Christians and Messianics who live in denial are a danger both to themselves and their families who are so very unprepared for what is happening and is yet to come. The Remnant cannot not know and cannot not be prepared which is why we have so many materials on our website detailing all of this. Perhaps one reason demonology is so pooh-poohed by modern believers is because of all the inaccurate superstitious and fantastic nonsense that became attached to the phenomenon during the Middle Ages, but another is undoubtedly the spirit of rationalism, itself not a bad thing when operating hand-in-hand with spirituality but dangerous when it becomes an exclusively materialist philosophy as it has. And though science is breaking into the spiritual realm slowly [3], by the time it has properly understood it, it will be too late to have any bearing on society's views of these matters and will more than likely be contaminated by pantheism as it already was from its early inception in Capra days [4].

Today I can only hope to make a very general, and therefore a necessarily somewhat brief, study of this subject. You have to remember than in dealing with any realm so vast as the demonic or heavenly that no one man can possibly have more than a small glimpse or understanding of it, unless he has received a prophetic Davar (Word) from Yahweh who Himself makes a factual description of reality based on His omniscience. We shall begin by first pointing out that the Satanic organisation is hierarchical in the extreme since what binds it together is not ahavah or love (for none exists within it) but a fanaticism fuelled by the certain knowledge, obtained when they were defeated by Messiah at the resurrection, that what awaits them is a dreadful judgment. They are therefore zealous and efficient, venting their fury on human flesh by creating abject misery.

It would be a mistake to suppose that all demons are basically carbon-copies of their master. Like all created beings, they have their own distinctive personality. Some are weak and some are strong. Some are very knowledgable and others more ignorant. Some deal with the emet (truth) with fear, others with indifference and yet others with extreme hostility. Their attitude toward us is exactly the same, just as human beings are toward Yahweh. Unlike Yahweh, they are neither omnipotent (all-powerful) nor omniscient (all-knowing). They gather information about us like any human intelligence agency spying on another nation, though by different means. They are not only limited by what Elohim (god) permits or does not permit them to do but they cannot go beyond the sovereign will of man. They can tempt you for as long and as often as they desire but they cannot force you to do anything against your will.

Demons specialise based on their orders from Satan just as believers do based on their gifts and instructions from Yahweh. Though you will find specialists in deliverance categorising demons somewhat differently based on their experience, I think it would be true to say - in part because Satan mimics everything that Yahweh has established - that there are at least seven orders or categories of demon. The following, which more or less follows the categorisation shown by Howard Pittman in a vision about 40 years ago, are the categories as I currently view them:

• 1. The Princes or 'arch-demons', if you like, who are, as I have already mentioned, in charge of nations or specific areas in the world. All those beneath them have areas of expertise, there being no 'general practicioners';

• 2. Warring Demons who look very much like human beings and very atheletic in appearance and usually of a bronze colour, whose function is to wage relentless war against humans as well as Yahweh's malakim (angels) such as the one who struggled for 21 days to reach Daniel in passing through the 'second heaven';

• 3. Carnal Demons who again look like humans in appearance whose speciality is in such fleshy vices as greed, hate, lust and strife;

  

• 4. Dark Arts Demons who only outwardly appear human in part, the other part being animal, who specialise in fear, self-destruction, witchcraft´and mimickry;

• 5. Demons of Murder who do not have a human-like form at all, and who specialise in murder, brutality and sadism;

• 6. Untouchable Demons, for want of a better term, who are so vile and despised by other classes of demons that they never associate with them except in special tasks; and

• 7. Special Case Demons who are very tricky to deal with and about which I personally know next to nothing because of the way they manage to hide and thus maintain anonymity.

In spite of the differences between these broad categories (there are numerous sub-categories and individual demons that are mentioned every now and then in materials on our Deliverance website), they all live in the same overwhelming oppressive and morbid environment that is the 'second heaven' caused by the complete absence of ahavah (love) in that place. They don't love one another, have no loyalties or anything that we would regard as positive or moral in our own species. Such differences that persist are in part because of their original pre-rebellion personalities and because of the ways they have devolved spiritually over the aeons.

Devoid as they are of any altruistic ideals and so consumed by darkness, they don't have a lot, if any, will-power of their own. Like automatons they await for orders from further up the hierarchy and need to be told what to do. Every order ultimately comes from the top of the chain of command, from the princes and thus from Satan himself. Remember that demons cannot be in more than one place at a time which is why they need to operate hierarchically in great numbers. They are organised not just to wage war against mankind but also against the Heavenly Hosts who must pass through the 'second heaven' to get to the 'first heaven', which is us. You will appreciate, then, why there is such a large number of warring demons in the second rank.

Not all demons are in the 'second heaven' or astral plane. Those who go beyond Yahweh's imposed limitations - who break His rules - are are chained and therefore restricted. The spirits of the dead nefilim - that is, the original batch - which in the days before the Flood were incarnated demons, are one such category (Gen.6:4). New nefilim are being created all the time but these are not the original ante-diluvial batch which are in chains. At the end of this age, when Yah'shua (Jesus) returns at the final Yom Teruah (Day of Trumpets, Shouting), all demonic forces are so incarcerated:

"And I saw a malak (angel) coming down out of heaven, having the key to the Abyss and holding in his hand a great chain. He seized the dragon, that ancient serpent, who is the devil, or Satan, and bound him for a thousand years. He threw him into the Abyss, and locked and sealed it over him, to keep him from deceiving the nations anymore until the thousand years were ended. After that, he must be set free for a short time" (Rev.20:1-3, NIV).

And then, as we all know, after this brief release and final war, the world and whole universe is immersed in a permant state of shalom (peace) and simcha (joy) (Rev.21-23).

We see, then, that demons are bound by time limits in which they are permitted to operate. This explains one of the reasons for their frenzied activity. As the Book of Revelation makes clear, only Yahweh can have demons cast into the Abyss. No man has the authority to permanently remove a demon out of circulation. He has the authority to cast them out of people, if he is a true regenerated believer, but it is not for us to decide where such expelled demons are sent. The wise minister hands them over to Yah'shua (Jesus) for processing. Indeed, as we know, if the legal grounds for their infestation are not dealt with, they can return and in greater numbers:

"When an evil spirit comes out of a man, it goes through arid places seeking rest and does not find it. Then it says, 'I will return to the house I left.' When it arrives, it finds the house unoccupied, swept clean and put in order. Then it goes and takes with it seven other spirits more wicked than itself, and they go in and live there. And the final condition of that man is worse than the first. That is how it will be with this wicked generation'" (Matt.12:43-45, NIV).

It is a relatively easy matter to throw a demon out. The harder part of deliverance ministry is keeping them out. There are far too many frauds out there purporting to be men of Elohim (God) who for the show love to cast demons out but who do not invest time in proper discipling to establish what the original grounds for demonic oppression were in the first place. That is why in a local assembly there either have to be people with multiple giftings who can work with people coming into the Body with highly demonised backgrounds who are often of the mistaken impression that once a person is saved all his demons are cast out permanently. Indeed, it's not even that simple. If your mind and heart are locked in sin patterns the demons will return - guaranteed, and in greater numbers. Why do you suppose seven times as many demons returned after the initial deliverance in the illustration given by Yah'shua (Jesus)? Let's see what He said in the verses before:

"A wicked and adulterous generation asks for a miraculous sign! But none will be given it except the sign of the prophet Jonah. For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of a huge fish, so the Son of Man will be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth. The men of Nineveh will stand up at the judgment with this generation and condemn it; for they repented at the preaching of Jonah, and now one greater than Jonah is here. The Queen of the South will rise at the judgment with this generation and condemn it; for she came from the ends of the earth to listen to Solomon's wisdom, and now one greater than Solomon is here" (Matt.12:39-42, NIV).

From this we can extract some thoughts as pertinent to our time as it was to Yah'shua's (Jesus'). People then wanted miraculous signs just as they do today and that's why there are so many groups like The Last Reformation who throw demons out of everyone at baptism only to leave the door open for other categories of demon like the gibberers. You can't just throw demons out without going through a Jonah-type death to self. Jonah was in rebellion and had to die to self, accomplished by being swallowed by a whale (though he did backslide by grumbling and complaining later). That is not a small thing. Anybody can throw your demons out but unless you die to the lies or addictions that gave the demons the legal grounds to access you in the first place, they will return in greater numbers.

I believe those of the Remnant, because they are so scattered initially, will in many respects have to become spiritual 'jacks of all trades'. Again, I repeat, there are plenty of people throwing demons out with the authority they have been given through emunah (faith) but there aren't many willing to walk the often long walk with people, represented by Chag haMatzah (the Festival of Unleavened Bread), in getting the sin out of their lives which attract demons like wasps to sugar. Our sinning is the demon's green light to plunder our psychic energy which they need to remain conscious...another reason for their frenzied activity.

Demons operate on the basis of cunning and deceit. Were they to present themselves honestly and openly, no human alive would not flee from them, even the unsaved. They can hear and see all we do, to differing degrees, depending on our spiritual covering or lack thereof. If they're inside, they pretty much have access to everything. They know you well, your weaknesses (which they home in on) and your strengths (which they work around). Their method is to make evil desirable - evil as defined by Yahweh and not by our flesh! And that's the catch because if a man doesn't like Yahweh's principles and rules he has already flung open doors for the enemy to enter.

I am sometimes asked about guardian malakim (angels). There are those who believe that every single human being has one and others who believe they are only assigned to the saved. Certainly I know the latter to be true, the former I am not so sure about now, but I choose to remain undogmatic until I know for sure.

What is man's greatest weapon against demons? The Emet (Truth) which in its rawest and most potent form is to be found in the Davar Elohim (Word of God). Immerse yourself in it and declare it to yourself and for others when they ask for your intercession on their behalf. If you build your thinking-, feeling- and behaviour-life on the Davar (Word) you will do well. If not, there will be much demonic harrassment ahead and the possibility for much pain and loss in terms of lost rewards in the eternities:

"By the grace Elohim (God) has given me, I laid a foundation as an expert builder, and someone else is building on it. But each one should be careful how he builds. For no one can lay any foundation other than the one already laid, which is Yah'shua the Messiah (Jesus Christ). If any man builds on this foundation using gold, silver, costly stones, wood, hay or straw, his work will be shown for what it is, because the Day will bring it to light. It will be revealed with fire, and the fire will test the quality of each man's work. If what he has built survives, he will receive his reward. If it is burned up, he will suffer loss; he himself will be saved, but only as one escaping through the flames" (1 Cor.3:10-15, NIV).

What are you pursuing in addition or ahead of the Kingdom of our Father? Priorities are everything:

"Seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be given to you" (Matt.6:33, NIV).

We can choose either good or evil, the demons have already made their choice, in consequence of which they have only one path they can go down, and its end is the Abyss. They don't mix priorities up the way we do. Neither to Yahweh's malakim (angels), though they once had the opportunity to do so. A huge part of our learning experience consists of making absolute instead of compromising choices. Kingdom-first or kingdom something else? If our life consists of 10% Kingdom-first and 90% 'something else', that 'something else' will all be burned away at the last day. Why invest so much time and energy in something you're guaranteed to lose? Whatever things we have laboured for outside emunah (faith) and the Kingdom count as dead works, labour that is in vain. Works done for self to assuage or pacify our conscience, after our need and wants have been met, constitute service to our own privately-constructed false gods. Therefore:

"If anyone would come after Me (Yah'shua/Jesus), he must deny himself and take up his cross and follow Me. For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for Me will find it. What good will it be for a man if he gains the whole world, yet forfeits his soul? Or what can a man give in exchange for his soul?" (Matt.16:24-27, NIV).

So how radical is seeking the Kingdom first?

"If anyone comes to Me and does not hate [5] his father and mother, his wife and children, his brothers and sisters - yes, even his own life - he cannot be My talmid (disciple)" (Luke 14:26, NIV).

We have to prove that we are believers (Chrsitians or Messianics) by carefully and honestly examining our motives; and if our motives fall short of what is expected by the Master in the Davar (Word), then we are to make teshuvah (repent). Yahweh is an Elohim (God) of order, he is not an anarchist. And even though the object of demons is to create soul anarchy, family anarchy, national anarchy and global anarchy, they too are beings or order, though use it to subvert rather than build up. Until we get all the corrupt liberal propaganda out of our system, the scales will forever be over our eyes, blinding us to emet (truth).

Whatever good intentions we may have for righteousness have to be translated practically into everyday living. Order in the mind, order in the heart, and order in the outer physical world must drive us, the whole being bathed in overflowing ahavah (love) and grace. And that's the difference between the demonic and the divine, for ahavah (love) is the missing ingredient in the demonic, its order being used solely to wage destructive war.

From these simple observations it should be evident that physical life is not nearly as important as spiritual life. The latter defines the quality of the former. We live in the Laodicean Age, and you will remember that the original Laodicean believers were deceived, and like the devil himself, were out to get all they could out of life instead of giving their all for Messiah and the Kingdom:

"To the Messenger (angel) of the assembly (church) in Laodicea write: These are the words of the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the ruler of Elohim's (God's) creation. I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were either one or the other! So, because you are lukewarm - neither hot nor cold - I am about to spit you out of my mouth. You say, 'I am rich; I have acquired wealth and do not need a thing.' But you do not realise that you are wretched, pitiful, poor, blind and naked. I counsel you to buy from Me gold refined in the fire, so you can become rich; and white clothes to wear, so you can cover your shameful nakedness; and salve to put on your eyes, so you can see. Those whom I love I rebuke and discipline. So be earnest, and make teshuvah (repent). Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with him, and he with me. To him who overcomes, I will give the right to sit with me on my throne, just as I overcame and sat down with my Father on his throne. He who has an ear, let him hear what the Ruach (Spirit) says to the assemblies (churches)" (Rev.3:14-22, NIV).

This is the reality of the Body of Messiah today. Only a small minority - tiny, in fact - is out to put King and Kingdom first and foremost in everything they do and stand for. The vast majority have accepted the devil's selfish vision of life and in that way are indistinguishable from the unsaved. This same majority is in denial over the fact that Satan is a personal devil actively out to destroy them. They cannot see that our day is like Noah's day - nobody paid attention then and nobody is paying attention now in spite of all the signs everywhere testifying that we are practically at the very end of the age. The majority of believers do not view themselves as 24/7 ambassadors of Messiah. The declaration, "I don't need a thing" of the Laodiceans, has become theirs too. And the devil is delighted with them because he knows he can take them progressively down the slippery slope and destroy them at will, the more so as so many of them believe they have a licence to sin whenever it suits them because they embrace the 'once saved, always saved' lie.

Yahweh is recruiting His end-time army, a tiny minority of believers, who utterly reject and repudiate the Laodicean paradigm. It will be a highly ordered, tightly disciplined, hierarchy of talmidim (disciples), just like Heaven, full of ahavah (love), full of grace, full of chayim (life), full of simcha (joy) and endowed with true saving knowledge. To them, once they have become fully submitted, will be given, in degrees, as they submit more and more to King and Kingdom, the covenant of miracles which, as a tiny band, they will absolutely need in order to silence the majority of lukewarm believers and defeat the hoardes of the wicked. As the world degenerates and becomes progressively more demonised, as their fleshy options shrink and finally disappear, as they gather to the appointed places so they will arise in their Sukkot (Tabernacles) Anointing and sally forth into battle with bronzed brows and without fear, attended by legions of malakim (angels):

The Bad News (Judgment):

"Yahweh says, The women of Zion are haughty, walking along with outstretched necks, flirting with their eyes, tripping along with mincing steps, with ornaments jingling on their ankles. Therefore Yahweh will bring sores on the heads of the women of Zion; Yahweh will make their scalps bald.'

"In that day Yahweh will snatch away their finery: the bangles and headbands and crescent necklaces, the earrings and bracelets and veils, the headdresses and ankle chains and sashes, the perfume bottles and charms, the signet rings and nose rings, the fine robes and the capes and cloaks, the purses and mirrors, and the linen garments and tiaras and shawls. Instead of fragrance there will be a stench; instead of a sash, a rope; instead of well-dressed hair, baldness; instead of fine clothing, sackcloth; instead of beauty, branding. Your men will fall by the sword, your warriors in battle. The gates of Zion will lament and mourn; destitute, she will sit on the ground.

The Good News

"In that day seven women will take hold of one man and say, 'We will eat our own food and provide our own clothes; only let us be called by your name. Take away our disgrace!'

"In that day the Branch of Yahweh will be beautiful and glorious, and the fruit of the land will be the pride and glory of the survivors in Israel. Those who are left in Zion, who remain in Jerusalem, will be called qadosh (holy, set-apart), all who are recorded among the living in Jerusalem. Yahweh will wash away the filth of the women of Zion; he will cleanse the bloodstains from Jerusalem by a spirit of judgment and a spirit of fire. Then Yahweh will create over all of Mount Zion and over those who assemble there a cloud of smoke by day and a glow of flaming fire by night; over all the glory will be a canopy. It will be a shelter and shade from the heat of the day, and a refuge and hiding place from the storm and rain" (Isa.3:16-4:1-6, NIV).

This is what is about to happen and this is the calling of the Remnant. I hope to meet you there.
