The Shofars of Heaven Sounded a Summons
From several years ago with an update about the coming Victory Parade!
Morning is the time I spend with The LORD, often from wake up until about mid day.
Once more, I heard the sound of Shofars blowing this morning and I can’t help but think it’s a follow up to my recent re-postings about the sounds of marching in the treetops and Revival!
I know that my spirit leapt when I heard them and the excitement hasn’t left. Here’s how it all unfolded!
Suddenly, I hear the Shofar again — more a trumpet actually — playing a fanfare.
Taa-Tarata-ta-ta-ta-ta-taa Taa-taa-ta-ta-t’ta !
…. and huge doors appear in front of me.
Vast, solid, gold-studded doors, fifty or so feet high. Another trumpet fanfare!
They open to reveal a huge Hall with many thousands of people (or angels) gathered. T
hey are all facing a Throne where the King, Jesus Himself, is seated.
Amazingly, the King sees me and extends His Sceptre towards me!
He summons me forward, “Come up here!”
I immediately find myself escorted by half a dozen mighty Angels towards The Throne. The King stands to greet me!
“Welcome to My Throne Room.”
He explains the purpose of the room as being what I would understand as His Operations Centre, where reports are received and Orders given.
It’s truly and amazing sight. Soldiers everywhere — ranks seemingly decided by their head gear — rather like the old Roman army!
The atmosphere is one of tangible excitement, mixed with urgency.
I asked, “What’s going on, LORD? Why am I here?”
“We are preparing for the coming battles.
The enemy has never really realised that we know every move he makes before he makes it!
All the reports we get here are confirmation of what we expected.”
“But what were the Shofar sounding? Why did I hear them?”
“The Shofars you heard were warning the Armies of Heaven to be ready.
The enemy is gathering for an all-out attack on the people of God.
He wants to destroy The Church before Armageddon, so as to eliminate the prayers of the righteous.
He will attack all religious freedoms, all free speech, and all expressions or thoughts of biblical truth.
He is trying to kill Revival before it takes off. But we are expecting this and we are ready for him!”
I remembered all the news stories of rising persecution of people, especially Christians.
I thought about China, Iran, other places like India, Pakistan, Nigeria, and other hot spots of persecution around the world.
The LORD nodded sadly, then said, “Don’t think that your culture will escape this!
The Church needs to wake up and fight this persecution — right through to the highest Courts. Otherwise they will lose what little freedom they have now.
For far too long, The Church has laid down and taken persecution.
Do they not remember how I used a whip to drive sin out of My Fathers house?
Do they still believe that passive resistance will work?
NO — it is time for militant resistance. Not violence — but still militant resistance to those who follow political dystopia even to the point of suppressing My People.
The Shofars you heard were the warnings that this battle is about to begin.”
He concluded, “GO, tell My People. Warn them!
Persecution is coming — it’s time to fight!”
Then He added a surprising (almost) postscript — “There will come a moment, not too far distant, when the Shofars announce something you won’t be expecting!” He paused before continuing.
“One day soon the Shofars will sound a Victory Fanfare and Heaven’s Army will Parade!”
He let that sink in before finishing with, “That Parade will finish with the prophesied Trumpet sound and My return in the clouds to collect My bride!
It’s not far away — the great Revival will not last as long as many people think!”
He closed with this instruction, “Warn and prepare My people!” and He withdrew His sceptre signifying the end of the meeting.
With that, I found myself escorted back to the great doors.
As they closed behind me, my escort disappeared and I found myself praising God in my living room.
All this from hearing the Shofar being blown.
Glory to God \o/

Dear Chris
Thank you for this very timely prophetic warning. You can add South Africa to that list. We are facing new attempts to control churches and Pastors through new legislation. And we all know that while they try to make out that it is to protect people from abuse, it is the thin edge of the wedge being driven into the law books?
The instruction to fight back is a much needed clarion call. God’s richest blessings to you
It’s happening all over the world Mart. The church needs to rise up with the people. It’s a dark period right now but there’s a bright light at the end of the tunnel!
God bless you & thanks
