Sermon Transcription
We thank you, Lord, for our brother Ulf. We thank you for bringing him over here to the United States, here in Pennsylvania, Lancaster County. We thank you, Lord, for bringing him into our midst. Thank you for keeping him safe in his travels, Lord. We thank you for the blessing that you blessed him with, Lord God, the blessing that he is to us. Lord God, we pray a blessing over him, Lord, a release, an anointing, Lord. May the anointing flow in him and out of him, Lord, by the power of your spirit tonight. May you open, Lord God, his ears to hear and his mouth to speak the things that you have to say to us tonight. Lord God, may the spirit that is within him, Lord, your spirit come out. May the congregation be blessed tonight. May the brethren be blessed tonight, Lord God, by the words and by the grace that you have given and shown our brother Ulf, by the blessing you have blessed us with in Jesus' name. Father, I just want to lift up my heart and my hands to your name tonight. We bless our brother in Jesus' name. And Father, we do have our ears tuned to hear what your spirit is saying under the churches. And Father, tonight, would you speak through our brother, would you speak very clearly that we can hear what you want us to hear. I pray you would give us soft hearts that the seed could go in and could bear much fruit. And truly, Lord, you promised that your word would not return void. We ask a special blessing on our brother as he shares and us as we hear in Jesus' name. Thank you very much. Can I make just one announcement? Just one announcement. The restrooms are upstairs. You've got to go over through the door and up the stairs. Sorry to interrupt with that. And there will also be materials available at the back that Brother Ulf will talk about later. Okay. Thank you. Thank you. The microphone is the microphone. Yes. So, I thank you very much for your loving invitation, for the murder, for asking us to have a nice chat in the morning time. We are happy to see you. We are gathering together. And you have promised me that there is an opportunity. I am glad to come. So, I thank, by the grace of God, and truly for your mercy. I thank you. I thank you because I am so grateful. And with all my heart, I thank you. And please take me to the beginning. I will never forget it. Oh, what a wonderful life. This... ...about this. And I slipped out of my mind. The wonderful... What is it? What are we called by people? Anabaptists. Yes, he was a real Anabaptist. And he spoke so wonderfully. And heaven was opened when he spoke. So, I have with all my heart been with the tent meetings from the very beginning. So, I didn't know. Else I would have asked. I tried to seek to come a week later or somehow. But there must be no conflict. Because we are one brotherhood. We love the Lord. We have only one Lord. We just want to follow in His footsteps. That He may be glorified. And He is very much glorified in the tent meetings. We heard a wonderful message last night. About Adam. Where are you? The responsibility of Adam. He bears responsibility. So, it was very wonderful. And I have many, many warm greetings. I am so happy to see many of you again. I cannot express my joy over every one of you. It is such a surprise and a joy to see you again. God bless every one of you. I mentioned some names. Some are offended. So, therefore I say I am so happy for every one of you. Because we are one body in the Lord Yeshua. And Yeshua, the Son of God, He is the only head of the body. And you cannot separate a member from other members of the body. There can be no division in the body at all. And so is it the assembly of Christ. Not only unity in the spirit as they speak about. It must also be practical unity. We are one body, spirit, soul and body. One human in Yeshua. That is my definition of the ecclesia, the church of the living God. And this has the highest hope, the highest promises from God, which we are going to look at tonight. God bless His little flock. Yeshua said, He said, Blessed are you little flock. It is the pleasure of your Father in heaven to give you the kingdom. What kingdom? Over the whole earth. Blessed are the meek for they shall inherit the earth. These little lambs which are pushed out with elbows from the rich and strong of society and do not defend themselves, they shall inherit the earth together with the Lamb of God. Isn't that wonderful that we are the sons and daughters of the living God and Yeshua, the Son of God, is our wonderful head and savior. And He shares all with Himself. He is the only heir of God, heir of all things of God, who is the creator and the ruler of the whole universe. God has given everything to His beloved Son and He shares all this everything with the little flock which loves Him and does whatever He says and steps in His footsteps. There is only one way and the first Christians were called the way, actually the path, not a broad way but a narrow path, up a steep slope, up the Mount Zion. And there we must step in the footsteps of the Lamb. There is only place to two beside one another so that we can help our brother when he is weak. And that is the secret of overcoming that we forget ourselves and help our brother in his greatest need. I am also so happy and surprised to see as the first, who came, Stephan and Sister Sienovieva Beatty. They just came from Chicago to see a sister from Romania. We have been traveling together, Sister Sylvia, who is now very, very sick. Isn't that beautiful they make that long, long, long tour to encourage a sister who is suffering. That is the fullness of life to forget ourselves and to care for our neighbor. And what we do for our neighbor, for our brother and sister, we do for the King of Glory Himself. Now we see the world going down. It is like an avalanche. I cannot believe my own eyes. In 1960, my wife, Sister Greta, I shall greet you very much from this precious jewel. We came to the United States and now we see the development going on. It is terrible. It seems as if the big ship Titanic is sinking slowly. Well, it happens faster. But not only America, also Europe, the same thing. Such a darkness over there. But there are brilliant lights in this darkness, especially over here in America. It is so wonderful, so wonderful. I have many, many greetings to you from our brothers and sisters over in Siberia and in Bulgaria, in Romania, where I travel as often as I can. They look forward to the day when we shall meet together at the coming of our Lord. We are all waiting for the Lord to come. We have a happy and blessed hope that when the Lord will come and take us up to heaven. So therefore we must bear the cross and thank God for whatever fellowship of sufferings we have together with Him and glorify Him in that. And then He will take us up before the wrath of God will be poured out upon the earth. My beloved brothers and sisters, I have never studied theology. I keep far away from commentaries. I do like my brothers over in the eastern countries of Europe, especially in the time of communism. They had no access to any theological book, but they just studied the few Bibles they had. They lived in the Bible and God gave them by the Holy Spirit such a glorious, deep light. And I am going to share this living hope with you tonight. And also I have shared this living hope, these things I share with you tonight, often among them I have never experienced anyone who contradicted that because we built on the Word of God. And there are many, many things in the Holy Bible I do not understand, especially in the book of Revelation. I do not understand, my knowledge is very limited. But there are some things which I can see with some precise, with precision I can see it by the grace of God. And I have also got a message from the Lord and that message I know is from the Lord. Else I wouldn't dare to speak. Holy Father, thank you for my brothers and sisters. We are members of your living resurrection body, our Lord, Yeshua, anointed by God as King and High Priest forever. Oh Lord, Holy God, we are proud of your beloved Son. Thank you for such a wonderful Savior and bright room. Oh Holy God, reveal yourself personally tonight in our midst. And may we step solidly into your footsteps. Step up, one step after the other, up and stand on the top of Mount Zion, lifting up hands, praising you, waiting for your soon coming again. You have said you do not know the day nor the hour, for in the hour you do not imagine the Son of Man will come. Lord, we trust you, we thank you, Father, in the name of our Lord, Yeshua, for your blessed Holy Spirit. Anoint and bless everyone here tonight, and bind our hearts together in the Lord, Yeshua. Amen. Now the word the Lord has laid upon my heart is written in Revelation chapter 12, the middle chapter of the book of Revelation. And I read from chapter 12 verse 1, a wonderful revelation. And a great sign was seen in the heaven, a woman clothed with the sun and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars. And being with child she cried, being in travail and in pain to bring forth. And another sign was seen in the heaven, and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and on his head seven diadems, and his tail draws the third part of the stars of the heaven, and he cast them to the earth. And the dragon stood before the woman who was about to bring forth, in order that when she brought forth he might devour her child. And she brought forth a male son, who shall shepherd all the nations with an iron rod. And the child was caught up to God and to his throne. And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she has there a place prepared of God, that they should nourish her there a thousand two hundred and sixty days. And there was war in heaven. Michael and his angels went to war with the dragon, and the dragon fought, and his angels, and he prevailed not, nor was a place found any more in the heaven. And the great dragon was cast out, the ancient serpent, he who is called devil and satan, he who deceives the whole habitable world. He was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him. And I heard a great voice in the heaven saying, Now is come the salvation, and the power and the kingdom of our God, and the authority of his Christ. For the accuser of our brethren has been cast out, who accused them before our God day and night. This is the very precise center of the book of Revelation, verse 11. And they have overcome him, by reason of the blood of the lamb, and by reason of the word of their testimony. And they have not loved their life even unto death. Therefore be full of delight, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them, world to the earth and to the sea, because the devil has come down to you, having great rage, knowing he has a short time. This will be fulfilled in the days just lying ahead. This is a great prophetic program of God. And God has given his children light, so that we may be prepared to meet our Lord, and to more than overcome in the power of the lamb. And here we see a mighty conflict going on. The great red dragon, that's Satan. Satan has always been persecuting the saints, you know. But this speaks about Satan in the end time. We see him here, he has his great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and on his horns seven diadems. And his tail draws the third part of the stars of the heaven, and he casts them to the earth. So this does not only speak about Satan, but it speaks about Satan at a special time, when the Antichrist arises up to power over the nations. And we are living in that time, where the Antichrist is rising out and ruling over the nations. We read in the book of Daniel about four great beasts. So God calls the great cultural kingdoms of Babylonia, and Medo-Persia, and the Greeks, and Rome, as beasts. And he describes the last beast as very cruel and brutal. He describes it, it had ten horns. I consider the horns, and behold there came up among them a little horn, before which three of the first horns were plucked up by the roots. And behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of a man, and a mouth speaking great things. That's the same ten horns we have read about in Revelation chapter 12. That's the last kingdom over the earth. And in Revelation chapter 13, there we see the beast again described. I saw a beast rising out of the sea, out of the ocean of the many multitudes of people, having ten horns. You see the ten horns, and seven heads, and upon each horn ten diadems, and upon each head names of blasphemy. And the beast which I saw was like to a lepidus, and its feet as of a bear, and its mouth as a lion's mouth, and the dragon gave to it its power, and its throne, and great authority. And one of his heads was as slain to death, and his wound of death had been healed, and the whole earth wondered after the beast. That is the Antichrist. In his first letter, John, the prophet John, the apostle John writes, there are many Antichrists in the world, but there is in Revelation speaking about one special Antichrist, who will deceive the whole world, and he will require all people to take his sign and image on their right hand and forehead, and who will not worship him will be killed, persecuted and killed, so that describes what is ahead of the world. And you know also about this chip they are implanting that will be connected with worship of the world dictator, which is about to arise, and the Bible warns that anyone who takes that name or number or worships the beast will be cast into the lake of fire out of which there is no exit ever, forever lost. So that is so important, and in this last time we are living in, that's a great grace from God that we can live in. The people in the world, they despair. Many people despair. It's such a hard and wicked time, but we have a living hope, and the full strength of the almighty God. Yes, but I must first show you the earnestness of the world situation. People are perishing because they cannot get work, they cannot pay off their debts, we should never make debts, but so many are despairing in this world. But this beast is making, has one enemy, and that is the people under the blood of the lamp. Because when Yeshua died upon the cross, he crushed the head of the serpent, then that prophecy was fulfilled, which God himself spoke in the garden of Eden after the fall of man in sin. He said to Satan, I set enmity between you and the woman, between your seat and her seat, he will crush your head, but you will strike after his heel. And this was fulfilled upon the cross of Golgotha, where Yeshua suffered for our sins, and it seemed as if it was a great triumph to Satan, this drama of God on Golgotha. You see, Yeshua rode into the city of Jerusalem, riding on an ass, as a fulfillment of Zechariah chapter 9 and verse 9. Behold daughter Jerusalem, see your king is coming to you, riding on an ass, on an ass coat, humble and meek. So that was fulfilled, and they cried Hosanna. So Satan probably got very afraid, and so he thought, now he will soon be anointed, he will be crowned as the Messiah of Israel, and he will be put on the throne of his father David. So we know Satan went into Judas, and Judas betrayed his beloved master. The master who loved him, I will say surely Judas did not love, but his master also loved him, because Yeshua said frame to him. But he betrayed his master, and so instead of being crowned with glory, he was crowned with thorns, and he was crucified, and out there outside of the city, that was the greatest triumph for Satan. I can imagine how the demons jumped and danced, now the plan of God had been destroyed, and Yeshua was suffering there on the cross, and said my God, my God, why have you forsaken me, to fulfill the holy scriptures, because all the judgment of God, for our sins was laid upon him, he took the curse of God upon himself, the blessed son of God became our sin offering, and then he said, it is finished, and he bowed his head, and spoke father into your hands, I commit my spirit, in that very moment, the head of the Satan was crushed, and of all the power of demons, and death forever broken, that is marvelous, and we have faith, by faith in the blood of the Lamb, we have more than victory over Satan, that is so marvelous, and we proclaim the greatest reality, so therefore Satan is attacking the Christians, and God is glorified in this, now he has one enemy in this world, the Christians under the blood of the Lamb, and Satan knows, either he will overcome them, by violence it is very difficult to overcome the Christians, I can tell about that, because ever since 1967, the Lord has led me behind the Iron Curtain, into communist countries, and 1968, I was led to Romania, and came to the city of Iasi, and their sister is sitting with her dear husband, brother Stephan, and that was so great experience, to meet them in the time of tribulation, and persecution, and we were often arrested together, and what a privilege, to meet that little faithful flock, under the blood of the Lamb, my dear brothers and sisters, Satan has one enemy, those who are under the blood of the Lamb, he also has another enemy in this world, that is the chosen of Israel, the Jewish people, God has made an eternal covenant, with his people of Israel, at the foot of Mount Horeb, Sinai, and God keeps his faithfulness, and it is so marvelous to see, what God is doing today, many, many Jews are now coming, to believe in the Lord Yeshua Messiah, I pray to the Lord, how can I be a witness to the Orthodox Jews, it is so difficult to speak with them, about the Gospel of Yeshua HaMashiach, then God gave me the idea, to write such a badge, Yeshua HaMashiach Malki, that means, Yeshua the Messiah, he is my king, and I needed not to speak so much, but wherever I walk, in and out among the Jews, what an explosion, it is really like carrying, some strong explosives, around in Jerusalem, although I am not a terrorist, but I knew some cried hallelujah, and others cried, oh he is no good, I said he is very, very, very good, God, Satan is also trying, to destroy the Jewish people, he is gathering all the nations, against Israel, more and more and more, and Israel has given, so much country for peace, and then they promised peace, they never kept their word, they always, the enemies of Israel around, they always break their promises, but God protects his little people, if God had not protected Israel, Israel would have long ago, been destroyed, from the face of the earth, so Satan is persecuting the Jews, and it will not take long time, till all the nations, will send their armies against Israel, to finally destroy the Jewish people, but in the passage which we read, we read that Michael, the archangel, who stands before God for Israel, every country has an angel, standing before God, representing that people, and Michael, Michael, whose name means, who is like God, Satan said, who is God, he said, who is like God, Michael answered, no one is like God, so glorious and wonderful, and he goes to war, not Satan, but Michael, the Zionists, we who love Israel and Zion, we go into spiritual warfare, and therefore, the true Christians, we always love Israel, with the love of Yeshua Mashiach, I always tell about, into the Jews, I am so happy to be here in Israel, people ask, are you a Jew? I say, no, not as far as I know of, but my best friend is a Jew, who is your best friend? I say, that is Yeshua Mashiach, he is living in my heart, he is my king of glory, I need not to say anything more, they are deeply, their hearts are pierced, with the arrow of the love of the Lord, yes, so Israel is also attacked, but, we have a secret weapon, and whenever Israel is being attacked, by Satan, and by the armies of the world, we come on our knees, first Israel is defeated, a few hours, defeated, till the Christians wake up, and come down on our knees, and begin to pray, and in a moment, when we begin to pray in faith, then we hear about the enemies, being beaten back, and God gives Israel faith, the Jew has said, if the Arabs, would lay down their weapons, there would be no war, ever more, if the Jews, would lay down their weapons, there would be no Jew, any more, well, that is not actually, my attitude, well, I believe in spiritual weapons, not in the weapon, of steel, or of any material of this world, no, no, no, no, I am a peacemaker, and in the midst of that, I go out into the holy war, with the word of God, declaring the love of the Lord, to no matter whom it is, whether friend or enemy, makes no difference, so it is wonderful, when the saints are praying, God gives victory for his people, Israel, that is wonderful, so we, salvation has come to us, from the Jews, now there comes salvation, through the faithful Christians, to the Jews, many Jews have heard, that the Jews have suffered, most terrible persecution, and been burned alive, at the stake, by the Christian church, so they have been told, so therefore I am going this time, to take Matthew's mirror, I have already purchased it, to take it with me down, to Israel in September, to the holy feast, and going to give it, to the leading Jewish rabbis, please, this is a gift of love, there you can see, how not only Jews, but true followers of Yeshua, were burned at the stake, by that same false church, and everywhere, on every occasion, where I told Jews about that, they said we never knew that, the true Christians, have always loved Israel, and prayed for Israel, and we have been persecuted, with the Jews, by the false church, so I am going with the Matthew's mirror, I am proud of showing, that how my brothers, the Anabaptists, and many others, have suffered, for the sake of the Lord, because how can we say, that we love the king of the Jews, Jesus we love you, if we do not love his people, he is the king of the Jews, if we love him, we will love his people, Israel, with his love, so there are two enemies, to Satan, especially in this old time, the little flock, under the blood of the lamb, and then Israel, the Jewish people, and God is going to do, marvelous things, the almighty God, Yahweh El Shaddai, the almighty God, he will reveal his power, and authority, in the little flock of lambs, who do not defend themselves, but out of their mouth, goes forth, a two-edged sword, and they overcome, and cast down, all the powers of the devil, that's marvelous, Satan has no power, we are not afraid of Satan, we are not afraid of Antichrist, but actually, they are afraid of us, they try to, by persecution, they do not get very far, against the true Christians, because the true Christians, gladly give their lives, for the sake of our Lord, they did not love their lives, even unto death, no, but we have, this overcoming, sword of the spirit, and the blood of the lamb, now we see here, first of all, now that was about the time, and of the time, of the nations, I describe briefly, there will come a terrible time, over this earth, a terrible but short time, Yeshua spoke in Matthew, chapter 24, about a great, great, tribulation, days coming over this earth, as has never, have never been before, nor will ever come again, so horrible, if the Lord would not abbreviate, make short these days, then no one, would be saved, but account of the elect of God, these days, will be shortened, so we are not afraid, of Satan, but he is afraid, of us, being watchful, we have the overcoming weapon, but he tries by deceit, by worldliness, by many, many, many ways, he tries by deceit, to deceive us, just like Eve was deceived, by the smartness, of the serpent, by deception, here we see now, we look at this beautiful description here, first the woman, so beautiful, standing in the heavenly places, closed with the sun, isn't that a beautiful description, woman, standing, in the heavenlies, closed with the sun, and the sun, is the sun of righteousness, Yeshua the anointed, he is our righteousness, and we are dressed, in his righteousness, he is the wisdom, of God, our righteousness, our holiness, our perfect redemption, by his holy blood, we are dressed, in his righteousness, before God, our sins have been purified away, we are put away, to live for God, in righteousness, and then she has, she stands on the moon, actually it is interesting to see, the sun is a type, of the sun of righteousness, Yeshua, the sun is always shining, brightly, always, but the moon, is a type, of the assembly of the church, of the ecclesia, that is, the moon, the moon has no light in itself, it does not burn, on the surface of the moon, no, the moon is covered, with reflecting dust, which reflects the light, of the sun, and when the moon is full, oh, it fills the earth, in the night, with beautiful moonlight, and people fall in love, but the moon also has, its periods, when it is full, and then also, new moon, where it gives no light, at all, is useless, so it is sad to see, in the church history, there has been time of persecution, where the Christian, they cleaved to the Lord, they loved the Lord, and they more than all came by His blood, loving Him, even though they suffered martyrdom, that was the moon, full moon, you see the church also, in Smyrna, the Lord says, people say, you are poor, you are rich, the Lord Jesus says, you are rich, and so, poor little flock on this earth, the Lord declares, it is rich, it is full moon, but look at the Laodicean church, there is no light in it, it is rich outwardly, and the Lord says, it is beggarly and poor, and miserable, Laodicea, that is a Greek word, means the people dictates, the people is ruling, it is democracy, they are ruling the churches, like the government, of the unworldly nations, of the worldly nations, they are ruling the churches, in the same way, by democracy, and choosing and voting, for who shall be ministers, who of the true prophets, of the Lord, was ever voted into office, only the false prophets, were voted into office, according to the Bible, but none of the true prophets, were voted in, no, in the assembly of the Lord, that is the kingdom of the Lord, fear not little flock, it is a pleasure of your father in heaven, to give you the kingdom, we are his kingship, his kingdom, to him who loves us, and has redeemed us, from our sins, by his blood, and made us a kingdom, and priest to God, his father, to him be the glory and the might, forever and ever, Yeshua has made us, a kingdom, and he is our king, and we crown him, Lord of glory, is so wonderful, and we are one in him, I don't know any, I don't accept any other church, than that little flock, which proclaims Yeshua, as their king, and follows in his footsteps, loving one another, and giving their lives, in love for one another, that is my definition, of the true body of the Lord Yeshua, the true church, and under the teaching of the true apostles, of the Lord, these twelve stars in her crown, she has a beautiful, glorious crown, on her head, with twelve stars, and these twelve stars, are the twelve apostles, of the Lamb, and they have written down, the new testament, our Lord spoke to them, but they have written down, the new testament, and if we do the word of God, whatever is written in the new testament, then we have, kingly authority with God, but if we lose out, in one point, then it simply shows, that we are not, in the first love, and the Lord is deeply grieved, and we have no more victory, in our lives, so, our kingly authority, with the Lord is, as we obey him, as we are submissive, to the will of the Lord, and following his footsteps, if you call me, Lord, why do you call me, Lord, Lord, and do not, what I say you, Mary, the mother of Yeshua, had learned one lesson, of blessed fellowship, together with the son of God, and he said, at the marriage feast in Cana, to the servants, whatever he may say to you, do it, if they had not done what he said, they would not have gotten a drop of wine, but they did, the most unreasonable thing, they didn't understand, filling the water vessels, 500 liters about that, that is, with water, and that was very difficult, to fetch so much water, from the well, but he has said it, and they did it, without understanding, they thought, celebrate the marriage feast, the rest of the feast, simply water from the well, that is day by day, but you know what happens, so when we do whatever he, says, when he does, whatever he has promised, and God has cared for everything, which we need, and then there is abundance, I experience it again, and again, and again, break the break with the poor, give him the best, if you can divide your garment, give the best to the poor, because you give it to the king, and he will reward it, and he watches over that, this is a continual wonder, I cannot understand it, I have never asked for penny, from anyone, no, but I am infinitely rich, in the love of the Lord, and I just share, and share, and I am so happy, I must be led by the Holy Spirit, in all these things, but better give too much than too little, and give the best, don't give the second best, don't keep the best for yourself, but give the best for the poor, for the needy, because you do it to the king of glory, and he will surely reward it, not for the reward sake, but to declare the love, the real love of Yeshua, to these poor people, and then they believe, then they believe, yes, now you see this is such a beautiful woman, in this first verse, actually, beautiful and glorious, so was the New Testament little flock, the first apostles, they were preaching the gospel, they were all one, in the love of the Lord, they taught the whole word of God, Paul said to the Ephesian elders, you know, that I have never left out, to preach to you, the whole counsel of God, everything, they watched over that, and they were bold men of Christ, for his sake, and they only had one desire, for the Lord to be, one in him, and he should be lifted up, and so the little flock was one, and Paul could write letters, to the Christians, in Colossae, and in Philippi, and to Thessalonia, and so other places, what would you do, if there comes a letter, to Lancaster, or a letter, to the church, in Lancaster, what would the postman do, about it, I don't know where that letter would land, but there was no problem, in those days, because there was only one flock, and they were victorious, because they kept their faith pure, but after, the Lord had taken, these faithful men of God, his apostles, home after terrible, cruel martyrdom, but glorious martyrdom, more than half of them, suffered crucifixion, in one or the other way, unless you nailed to the ground, and Andrew, suspended on a cross, in an X form, and so on, but they all suffered martyrdom, only John was saved, by a miracle, out of the burning oil, that's marvelous, so he was also, put into martyrdom, even though he was saved, out of it, unhurt, like the three men, Sadrach, Meshach, and Manech, God is the same today, we have nothing to fear, we know that all things, work to the very best, together to the very best, for those who love the Lord, that's a very central verse, in the book of Romans, Romans 8, 28, if you, I have counted all the letters, in the book of Romans, and found the precise middle letter, that is here, we know that to those, who love the Lord, all things are working together, for the very best, and of the book of Revelation, I have written down here, there are 9,836 words, and there are 45,939 letters, and the very middle, and central verse, no, central letter, and word, is this, they have overcome Satan, Satan, by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their mouth, the testimony of their mouth, isn't that marvelous, that's the whole secret of the book of Revelation, God reveals his victory, in the little faithful flock, but after the Lord, had taken home to himself, his faithful apostles, who were jealous, for the Lordship of Yeshua, and I am jealous, for the Lordship, and the kingship of Yeshua, I am happy if people kick me out, I have been kicked out by many churches, but I am jealous, for the kingdom, for Yeshua, as being the king of glory, I am jealous for that, I don't want anything else, I have witnessed also, I keep the Shabbat, in love for the king, for the Lord of the Shabbat, I have been kicked out of precious holy fellowship, I love my brothers, God bless them, God bless them, but whatever my Lord says, the Lord told me just after my baptism, when I was 20 years old, the Lord said, Ulf, I have never broken any commandment of my father, nor have I undone anything, after that, I knew, I shall keep that day, God has commanded, no problem, but I love all who love the Lord, and with all their heart, obey and follow in His footsteps, now, you see this beautiful woman, clothed with the sun, dressed in the righteousness in Christ, in reality, the Bible wouldn't give such a description, unless it would not be true, if it were not true, because it is the word of God, what God says, next verse we see, she is being in travail, and she cries, she is bringing forth, she is in birth pangs, and many people ask, what is going on with the Christian church, it is division, division, division, division, division, also in Germany, it is so difficult to witness about the Lord, because people are simply not interested, they hear in the news about sexual scandals going on in the Catholic and Lutheran churches, and they think that is Christianity, and so they don't want to hear anything about Jesus Christ, terrible things, it is so sad, and so they say, where is it, you are not one, you are dispersed in different groups, now very important is it, that we love one another, it is beautiful over here, there are plain Christians who stick to the Holy Bible, and they love one another in the Lord, that is very beautiful, and people have respect for such plain Christians, who love one another, and love others, that is very important, but in Germany it is so difficult to witness, because of the great apostasy, after the true apostles had been taken home, there were other true apostles, but they were persecuted, there came the Popal Church, in Rome, the Bishop of Rome, who assumed and took up imperial power over the whole Roman Empire, worldly power, the Bible calls that the great harlot, terrible, and the true Christians, who lived a little flock, which lived at all times, that was so severely persecuted, now this woman is of course not the Popal Church, by no means, that is a great harlot, but there has happened a great apostasy in Christianity, and today there is so much, much, much compromise going on in the churches, because people love the world, and want to please the flesh, and so on, but how beautiful is that little pure white little dove, who loves the Lord, and who says only you, you, you, you, you, you, all the day, who seeks the Lord, the plain people, inwardly in heart, but also dressed plainly, that is so beautiful, and so our faithful brothers do over in the East. So, now, you see this woman is in travail, and many people say, well, it seems as if Christianity has come to an end, but no, this is not a sickness to death, she is bringing forth a child, when the whole church fails and does not walk in the footsteps of the Lord, and obey his commandments, which are not difficult to keep if we love the Lord. The Lord says simply if you love me, you will keep my commandments, and then he gives all his blessings and promises to these Christians, who love him, I will give the Holy Spirit, and the Father will love such a Christian who loves him, and keeps his commandments, and the Father and I, we will come in and live with him, in him, and I will reveal myself unto him, what wonderful promises in John chapter 14 and 15, for the little flock, which loves his word, the Lord reveals all his glory in them, and so we see there is now out of fallen Christianity, out of backslidden Christianity, also there are many many churches just building on traditions, all traditions, but are not really following in the footsteps of the Lamb, so there are many fences between, dividing between the Christian churches, and I am like a bull, I go from, I go through the field, and I pull up these fences, and toss them high up in the air, I totally ignore all these traditional differences, I believe in the Bible, the whole Bible and nothing but the Bible, that's my doctrine, then you have it in a nutshell, just the word of God, and so and how shall it take place, the unity of the little body of Christ, as among the first Christians, I have had a very great experience in the time of communism, when God led me, first to Bulgaria, then Romania, then into Russia, and I wrote through all of Russia, first to all the registered churches, and I don't want to speak about that, it was not good, the leadership was rotten, they obeyed, they were submissive to the state, it was not pleasing to the Lord, but God was merciful, and led me in contact with brother George Vince, an elder in the little flock, they had decided to follow the Lord, and no compromise, and they had to leave the registered church, because they just declared Jesus as the king, and they would obey and follow the Lord the whole way, there was no room for them in the registered church, so they went out, and all of those were taken by the police, and cast into prison, they were all arrested, that was back in the 1960's, from the beginning I was with them, it was so beautiful, and there were Christians coming from Mennonite churches in Russia, who could not go along with submission and registration under the state, they left the registered church, and there were Baptists going out from the Baptist church, there were other brethren, fellowships, which also accepted registration in order not to be cast into prison, under Stalin, all Christians were cast into prison, especially anyone who was not a member of the registered church, but even from there many others were cast in, they went out, so the true faithful Mennonites met true faithful Baptists, and other brothers outside the camp, outside, they had no prayer house anywhere in the Soviet Union where we could meet, all these years, up to the fall of Communism, we had not one prayer house in all of the great Soviet Union, covering all of Ukraine, and Moldova, and so on, not one place, we gathered in our private homes, or out in nature, in all sorts of weather, and the police came often upon us and arrested us again and again, but this little flock, God has looked upon it, and the beautiful, you see there were Christians who had come out from the Mennonite church, Baptists, and other fellowships, and they became, they discovered they are completely one in the Lord, and they just built on the Bible, and they became one little flock in the time of persecution, it was so beautiful, as I was deeply disappointed by my first travel through Russia, where I visited only registered churches, so I was so comforted on my second travel, I had found an address of the persecuted non-registered Christians in Russia, and I went right away and visited the family Vince, and in the moment I found that, I stayed with them till this day, and the beautiful thing is, in Siberia, they have remained one, undivided, undivided, and they are watching over the standard, if somebody comes from America, the first question they ask, do you believe in that eternal security teaching, and they say, yes, that's taught everywhere, in the seminaries, and the theological faculties, they say, you cannot preach in our church, we don't, Lord Yeshua said, abide in me, then I abide in you, there's perfect safety in the Lord Yeshua, if we cleave to Him and are faithful to Him, I am the wine, you are the branches, but every branch which does not bear good fruit is cut off and cast into the fire, that speaks about Christians, so the brothers, they keep a standard, and they are so happy to see humble, plain Christians, also here over in America, I have showed them pictures, and told them about my brothers, oh they are so, they weep with joy when they see that, but I tell not only the surface, but the inward, such precious brothers and sisters, yes, so now you see, the woman has fallen, she is no longer standing in glorious victory, the crown has fallen from her head, as I said before, if we make compromise with the word of God, the crown has fallen from our head, and the Lord cannot reveal His kingship, His victory in our lives, so, that is what has happened, but now this wonderful thing, this woman, even the fallen church, comes out of it a first fruit, a male son, well is not every son a male? Well it is emphasized it is a male son, because it has courage, it has character, and we see Satan, he knows the danger, he tries to devour that child, not the woman, oh no, there is so much things which are not in order with God, the woman is no great potential danger to Satan, but the little flock, which makes no compromise, they are danger to Satan, Satan knows that if he cannot overcome that little flock, then it will cast down him, and put an end to his tyranny, and rule over the world, so that is the whole story, the whole world history in the end time, Satan, with all the power of the nations, rushing against the little flock, and very soon there will come persecution also in the western world, but I do not trust in persecution, I have seen that some stood boldly in time of persecution, and later on, when the persecution was over, they were not so very burning in faith, but I believe in revival, I believe that we shall rededicate our lives, as I daily do on the altar of God, take me completely, and cut off from me everything which is not yourself, that only Yeshua your beloved Son may be my one and all, my Alpha and Omega, then God gives grace, and victory, and in His name we can go out, so often we have been arrested, and also Sister Sienovieva often of Uimisi was very very bold over there, and suffered great persecution, but we have the secret weapon, the blood of the Lamb, so we just praise, I just praise the Lord in my heart, when I was taken to the police station, and praise the Lord, thank you Lord Yeshua, you have crushed the power of Satan, you have redeemed me with your holy blood, Lord glorify your name, and then I have experienced how the Lord turned many interrogations into a wonderful opportunity to witness about my beloved Savior, and the power of Satan was cast out from the police station, wonderful things, so therefore fear not, just praise the Lord, and thank Him for His victory, looking up to Him, may we just please the Lord with our lives, and whenever we come together rededicate our lives totally upon the altar of God, that He may be pleased with us, then He will reveal all His glory in His little flock, so no matter whether there comes persecution or not, we shall overcome by the love of the Lord, by the word of the Lord, and we are one family, I am so happy for my brothers and sisters, I see the beauty of Yeshua in my brothers and sisters, so beautiful, so lovely, oh wonderful, and nothing can separate us from one another, even if there is a little difference between understanding some things of the Bible, because our knowledge is not perfect yet, but our love must be perfect, though I speak and express my conviction as far as I can see, and my brother, he also expresses his conviction as far as he can see, and then we bow our knees and praise the Lord, thank you Lord Yeshua, you are the truth, and if it pleases you, show us more of your truth, and may we walk in it, and then we arise, and we embrace one another, we kiss one another, I have this wonderful fellowship in the Lord, a true spiritual unity, and that little flock which stands for the Bible, which follows in the footsteps of the Lamb, God will reveal his glory in this end time, Satan is roaring as he is going to gather all the nations against Israel, so he will launch out worse than the communist police against the true Christians also in the western half of the world, be not afraid, oh no, where the spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty, there is freedom, go forward in the name of the Lord, and so we see Satan coming to devour and snatch and devour that child when he is born, but what happens, God is faster, the little child is caught up to God and to heaven, to the throne of God, and we are told they shall rule over the earth, I read verse 5 again, she brought forth a man's son, who shall shepherd all the nations with an iron rod, and the child was caught up to God and to his throne, and I have and many have told to me, oh that is Jesus Christ, no, Jesus Christ was not caught up to heaven when he was born, he stayed and died and arose, this is the little flock to whom the Lord speaks in Revelation chapter 2 and verse 26, he says, he says these words, and he that overcomes and he that keeps unto the end my works to him will I give authority over the nations, and he shall shepherd them with an iron rod, as vessels of pottery are they broken in pieces, as I also have received from my Father, and I will give him the morning star, and he that has an ear let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies, he has spoken to us, he who he who he that overcomes and keeps unto the end my works, keeping his works facing real deeds, they shall rule with Yeshua, for as is written in the Bible, blessed and holy is he who has part in the first resurrection, over those the second death has no power, and they shall rule with Christ as kings and priests for a thousand years, isn't that marvelous, Yeshua will share his kingship over the whole earth with that little flock which follows in his footsteps, what does that little flock do when Satan makes that final launching against them with an open jaws and with police forces to arrest us and to do with us like Hitler at the Holocaust against the Jews, just praise the Lord Yeshua for victory by his holy blood thank you Lord Yeshua when you died upon the cross in my state, you crushed the head of the serpent and heaven is open and they are called up to heaven to the throne of God, how important it is, how very wonderful how very wonderful that is the rapture of the little flock, not of all who believe in the Lord Yeshua as they say, but the little flock which follows in his footsteps, he will reveal his glorious power and they shall cast Satan out of lower heaven of course, Satan has no power inside paradise, no that's the kingdom of God, but under paradise, in the second heaven, and over the earth, Satan is deceiving, but now he is cast down to the earth in a moment when the Lord Yeshua takes up his little bride, Satan is cast down that is a great drama in the end time but the woman is not caught up those believing the other believers who made compromises, who did not keep the word of God and the crown fell from her head she fled out into the desert she is afraid of losing her life, God however is very merciful they will go through the great tribulation, that will be horrible, but you can read at the end of this chapter how wonderfully God is able to keep that little flock which he has hidden in hiding places but many, many, many, many other believers, they will be executed under the persecution of the antichrist, be not afraid we are not afraid of antichrist we are not afraid of Satan, but we fear God only and we praise him for victory, we have the secret weapon of the blood of Yeshua that is the drama of the lamp in the end time the lamp of God revealed in us and especially when we forget ourselves and care for our brother in need and assists him then the Lord, the lamp of God is revealed in his fullness so brother sister, let us be ready the little bride of the lamp the little overcoming flock who loves the Lord and follow him will not have to go through the great tribulation time but will be lifted up when the Lord comes from that terrible day of wrath, I have written it down in a tract you can read it out at the end, showing the falseness of that teaching which says that all Christians must go through the great tribulation time, it is simply not Bible true, it is superficial, no careful Bible study in it, and mixing up trumpets, but I have shared with you what our brothers and sisters also know from the Lord over in eastern countries where they are faithful to the Lord, God bless you abundantly let us thank the Lord Holy Father in heaven thank you for your wonderful word the solid rock and we stand on the solid rock and we can lift up we can lift our hands up and praise and glorify you for your wonderful son for your victory by the blood of the Lamb you have given us your perfect victory as you gave your life for us, Lord Yeshua may we also love one another and lay down the lives for one another, hereby all shall know that you are my disciples that you love one another may only your pleasure rest upon our lives, may only your name be glorified reveal all your glory in your little flock which loves you and follows you here in Lancaster country oh thank you holy God we commit one another into your almighty hands and praise you in the holy name of Yeshua the anointed by your blessed Holy Spirit, Amen
