God is preparing a "Super Generation of People" in these End Times and all of creation is longing to see them manifest.
“The entire universe is standing on tiptoe, yearning to see the unveiling of God’s glorious sons and daughters! “ Romans 8:19 The Passion
These people are ‘AKA’ the, ‘End Time Elijah’s’ mentioned in Malachi Chapter 4, the ‘Bride’ in Revelation 19, God’s ‘Mighty Men’ in Joel 2 and 3 and a ‘Great Army’ raised from the dust in Ezekiel Chapter 37.
It has taken the Lord 2000 years to prepare this people, and they are hardly noticeable at present, for the Lord is putting them through extensive training. The finishing touches are being applied, for Christ’s Coming is at hand.
The power of God shall be theirs so they need rigorous training to handle the responsibility and give Him all the glory. Some have already pulled out, some have been disqualified and others have just given up and settled for 2nd best.
When I was in army training, the higher powers were watching everyone to see who had what it takes, for greater things. I noticed some guys running around with bricks in their packs. What is this I asked? I was told that these were those who had been chosen for higher and harder training. You see the more responsibility you have the more will be required of you! The double portion isn’t just double the fun but double the responsibility.
This End Time People don’t need to be ‘super fit’ like those soldiers were, in fact some may even be in a wheel chair. They need not be handsome, clever, or under 30. All that is required of this people, is that they be available, obedient and that they love their God with all their hearts and also love His His Body (The Church). They are being trained to believe His word above their circumstances and feelings, loving not their lives to the death.
These people may not know their bible from end to end either or have gone to Bible College. They may never have been used in healing before or preached from the pulpit, but never the less they are being trained by the Holy Spirit for greater things. Remember that Elisha the Prophet was a menial servant for many years before he received a double portion from Elijah. There is no record of him doing one miracle before the day he received the mantle.
Is there going to be a Super Generation of Christians before the return of the Lord? I can see many indicators in the bible from the Prophets to the Book of Revelation that say ‘YES.’
“And if you are willing to accept it, he is the Elijah who was to come.” Matthew 11:28
John the Baptist was called the Elijah before the first coming, but he only partly fulfilled the prophecies. He didn’t restore all things and there were no miracles in his ministry. The ‘Coming Elijah’ was to have both the Spirit and the Power of God. I can see that there will also be an Elijah before the 2nd Coming who will complete the puzzle. Jesus indicated that there would be a double fulfillment, another Elijah still to come, besides John.
“Jesus replied, “To be sure, Elijah comes and will restore all things.” Matthew 17:11
The prophecy given over John the Baptist who was a forerunner for the Lords 1st Coming said that he would have the Spirit and the Power of Elijah in his life. John the Baptist called people to repentance but there was no miracles or power in his ministry, like the original Elijah.
“He will bring back many of the people of Israel to the Lord their God. And he will go on before the Lord, in the spirit and power of Elijah, to turn the hearts of the parents to their children and the disobedient to the wisdom of the righteous—to make ready a people prepared for the Lord.” Luke 1:16-17
The Prophet Joel spoke of ‘Mighty Men’ being raised up before the Great Day of the Lord and also our children having the Spirit of God upon them, and they would prophecy. How are your children going in this department at present? This End Time Army will be unique.
“Like dawn spreading across the mountains a large and Mighty Army comes, such as never was in ancient times nor ever will be in ages to come.” Joel 2:2
“The Lord thunders at the head of HIS ARMY; his forces are beyond number,” Joel 2:11
“Prepare for war! Wake up the Mighty Men,” Joel 3:9
Ezekiel spoke of the Spirit of God coming upon very dry bones and raising up a Great Army. It looked like there was no hope before Ezekiel prophesied.
“The hand of the Lord was on me, and he brought me out by the Spirit of the Lord and set me in the middle of a valley; it was full of bones. He led me back and forth among them, and I saw a great many bones on the floor of the valley, bones that were very dry.” Ezekiel 37:1-2
“Then he said to me, “Prophesy to the breath; prophesy, son of man, and say to it, ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: Come, breath, from the four winds and breathe into these slain, that they may live.’ ” So I prophesied as he commanded me, and breath entered them; they came to life and stood up on their feet—a Vast Army.” Ezekiel 37:9-10
Haggai the Prophet spoke of God shaking the heavens and the earth before the Lord’s return and the Glory of His House being greater than that of Pentecost. Pentecost was the Former Rain.
“For thus said the LORD of hosts; Yet once, it is a little while, and I will shake the heavens, and the earth, and the sea, and the dry land; And I will shake all nations, and the desire of all nations shall come: and I will fill this house with glory, said the LORD of hosts. The silver is mine, and the gold is mine, said the LORD of hosts. The glory of this latter house shall be greater than of the former, said the LORD of hosts: and in this place will I give peace, said the LORD of hosts. Haggai 2:6-9
Hosea the Prophet speaks of the 3rd day, when those who ‘know’ their God will have the Spirit come upon them and they will really live in His sight. If one day with the Lord is as 1000 years then the first day since the Church’s birth would bring us up to the year 1000. The 2nd day would be up to the year 2000. We are now in the 3rd day so its time for the Former and the Latter Rain (Double) to come as spoken of in James 5:7.
“Come, and let us return to the LORD: for he has torn, and he will heal us; he has smitten, and he will bind us up. After two days will he revive us: in the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live in his sight. Then shall we know, if we follow on to know the LORD: his going forth is prepared as the morning; and he shall come to us as the rain, as the latter and former rain to the earth.” Hosea 6:1-3
The key here is to ‘know’ their God. Daniel says that those who ‘know’ their God shall do exploits.
“But the people that ‘know’ their God shall be strong, and do exploits.” Daniel 11:32
Isaiah the Prophet speaks of a great darkness coming on the earth in the Last Days, but the Lord’s Glory rising upon a people with great intensity.
“Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord rises upon you. See, darkness covers the earth and thick darkness is over the peoples, but the Lord rises upon you and his glory appears over you. Nations will come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your dawn.” Isaiah 60:1-3
The Book of Revelation speaks of the Bride of Christ getting herself ready for her Coming King. The Bride is His Church.
“Let us be glad and rejoice and honor him; for the time has come for the wedding banquet of the Lamb, and his bride has prepared herself.” Revelation 19:
The bride is a very powerful illustration of relationship, for when 2 are married they become 1.
“But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit.” 1 Corinthians 6:17
This people are those who know who they are and all that has been given them in Christ. They know the truth and really know that they are joined to Christ.
The Song of Songs speaks about the Bride as well and she rises like the dawn, beautiful as the moon and is as powerful as the sun. She is like a Great Army.
“Who is this who looks down like the dawn, beautiful as the moon, bright as the sun, awesome as an army with banners?” Song of Songs 6:17
Paul said that we reflect in a mirror the Glory of the Lord. As we get closer to His return of the Lord the Glory intensifies, so its important that we are facing in the right direction. Looking to Jesus and not the world for we are changed into the image we reflect.
“But we Christians have no veil over our faces; we can be mirrors that brightly reflect the glory of the Lord. And as the Spirit of the Lord works within us, we become more and more like him.” 2 Corinthians 3:18
The Devil is trying to get us to look everywhere but to Jesus in these days of great temptation, so that it slows down the process.
Proverbs 4 says that the path of the just will get brighter as we get closer to His return. It will not get dimmer and dimmer as some believe.
“But the path of the just is as the shining light, that shines more and more unto the perfect day.” Proverbs 4:18
Elijah the Prophet said to Elisha that if he wanted the double portion of His Spirit, he had to be able to see him when he was taken up. It’s when we see by faith the true Elijah, (Jesus) that the power of God will be ours too.
“And it came to pass, when they were gone over, that Elijah said unto Elisha, Ask what I shall do for you, before I be taken away from you. And Elisha said, I pray, let a double portion of your spirit be upon me. And he said, You have asked a hard thing: nevertheless, if thou see me when I am taken from thee, it shall be so unto you; but if not, it shall not be so.” 2 Kings 2:9-10
Malachi spoke of an ‘Elijah’ coming before the 2nd coming. It definitely is speaking of the 2nd Coming, for it’s called the Great and Terrible Day of the Lord. The 1st Coming was when Jesus came as a lamb for the slaughter. So it has to be someone else as well as John spoken of here. The task now is to the whole world and not just the Jews which can’t be achieved by just one man.
“Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord: And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse.” Malachi 4:5-6
John the Baptist was the forerunner before the 1st coming and had to die at the hands of men as Jesus did, but the forerunner before the 2nd coming will be powerful like her glorious and powerful Coming King.
It doesn’t say that God will send Elisha before His return, but Elijah. I think this is very significant. Elijah was mentioned here because he was translated and not like Elisha who died an ordinary death. The End Time Elijah (The Spirit Filled Church) will be just before His return and could meet Jesus in the air.
This ‘Super Generation’ could be anyone whether young or old, all they need to do is believe that with God all things are possible. They who believe shall do the works that Jesus did and even greater things.
“Very truly I tell you, whoever believes in me will do the works I have been doing, and they will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father.” John 14:12
For many years the Devil has been saying that the End Time Church will grow weaker and weaker and many have believed this lie but the opposite is true.
Romans also says that all of creation is waiting for the manifestation of the sons and daughters of God. Will you be one of them?
“The entire universe is standing on tiptoe, yearning to see the unveiling of God’s glorious sons and daughters!” Romans 8:19
Look at my message on the Monarch Butterfly Super Generation which gives a powerful illustration of how we can be changed into New Creatures in Christ.
