The Daily Word of Righteousness
The Harvest Rain, #6
And the voice which I heard from heaven spake unto me again, and said, Go and take the little book which is open in the hand of the angel which standeth upon the sea and upon the earth. (Revelation 10:8)
As we have said, every true revival brings with it an opening of the Book, of the revelation of the Lord. The Book of God is being opened today. That which has been hidden from kings and prophets soon will be clearly understandable to the inhabitants of Heaven and earth.
Searching what, or what manner of time the spirit of Christ which was in them did signify, when it testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ, and the glory that should follow. (I Peter 1:11)
The Hebrew Prophets spoke mysteries in the Spirit. Those mysteries can be revealed only as the Lion who becomes the Lamb removes the seals.
And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Juda, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof. (Revelation 5:5)
Notice carefully what happens to the little book, or scroll.
And I went unto the angel, and said unto him, Give me the little book. And he said unto me, Take it, and eat it up; and it shall make thy belly bitter, but it shall be in thy mouth sweet as honey. (Revelation 10:9)
The Apostle John represents the Church. God wants the Church to eat the book, not just read the book but eat the book. It is time today to "eat" the revelation of God. Until we do we cannot possibly understand the mystery, which is Christ in you. Reading the Scriptures is of great importance. But if we do not eat the flesh and drink the blood of the Lamb we have no eternal life in us.
And I took the little book out of the angel's hand, and ate it up; and it was in my mouth sweet as honey: and as soon as I had eaten it, my belly was bitter. (Revelation 10:10)
The revelation that is upon us is sweet in our mouth. We sing and rejoice because of the Glory of God now being revealed. But when the Word gets down into our inward parts it becomes bitter indeed. It brings the adamic man down to death so the new born-again inward man may live.
The latter-rain revival brings death to the adamic nature and life to the born-again inward nature. A revival that does not speak death to the old sinful nature is not that which we are looking for.
And he said unto me, Thou must prophesy again before many peoples, and nations, and tongues, and kings. (Revelation 10:11)
The latter-rain revival is the "again" prophecy. The Book of Acts describes the original prophecy. But the Book of Acts is not finished. The Church is to prophesy again in the last days.
The prophecy that is coming is not directed toward the saints to edify, exhort, and comfort them. Its purpose is not to build up the Body of Christ. Rather, the prophecy at hand is to "many peoples, and nations, and tongues, and kings" that they may be alerted to the soon coming of the Kingdom of God to the earth, a kingdom that will subdue all other kingdoms and reign supreme on the earth.
To be continued.
