The dead "have nothing to do with anything under the sun." The people of God will not be without power. Though they are innocent and righteous, they know that there does not need to be blood shed ever again. They are the last generation and they know it. All will make a stand and fear no violence even though violence will be all around them. Though multitudes will seek their life and even a death decree made against them, they will wave their arms and the weapons will fall harmlessly to the ground. All previous generations had their share of "blood seed"--shed blood that generated "seed" for the next generation. There will be no seed blood in the last generation. Not one Saint need die.

The first will be joined with the last in the resurrection. The Scriptures tell us that the living will not precede the dead. The dead rise first and then "we who remain" will be caught up with them. The last generation will have all the gifts of God. During this awful period, there will be no Mediator for man. All of heaven will be emptied for the space of a half hour. Angels will still care for and watch over us, but there will be no repentance or remission of sin. All will have been decided. All will have the key of David which is simply "righteousness by faith". David was an adulturer and a murderer. In spite of this, he was "a man after God's heart." He is a major example for us and how we can be accorded righteous by our faith--in spite of our sin. All sin will have been repented of and cherished sin eradicated from the life. This can only be accomplished by Power direct from the throne. A single cherished sin, no matter how small, can result in eternal death. It is not just faith in the EXISTENCE of Christ Jesus, it is faith in His power to overcome sin--cherished and that "which so easily besets us."

Contrary to popular belief, Jesus will NOT remove sin from our life at His coming. All cases will have been decided before that. His reward for life or death is with Him at His appearing. It is when the saints are rising that God will perform "His strange act". The fiery stream which flows before Him will burn up root and branch of those "left behind".

There is SOME evidence that we will have a part to play in the Earth made new. Creative power will be given so that we may EXPERIENCE it. Anyone still struggling with sin in spite of the many warnings, need not despair. Believe His promises. Have faith that He can perform His Perfect Will in you. David believe and was accounted worthy. As a KING, he stood before the nation and priests and confessed his sin.

I know that many here are "chomping at the bit" for that ONE piece of knowledge or "revealing" that will get them through this period that is upon us NOW. It's not about words, it is about ACTION. The word "believe" literally means to grab ones self by the seat of the pants" and DO what is required. There is no secondary way around this. This is the "rod of iron". There will be no exceptions to this rule.

There is no strenght in numbers when it come to this. This is an INDIVIDUAL effort. Entire churches will be lost. There may not even be churches anymore (of the saints). There is Scriptural evidence that we will gather in "companies" to survive the upheaval. Those companies are forming all over the place. People are leaving the cities which will become prisons without hope of escape, and gathering in solitary places in preparation. Physical preparation is good, but spiritual preparation is paramount. Never before has it been so important to "ask and you shall receive, seek and you shall find, knock and the door shall be opened to you."
