在過去三十多年神所給我的夢,現在我才瞭解是和美國第二次革命/內戰的成因有關。當我起初領受這些夢時,我並沒有這樣來看,但從2018年十二月14日開始,這些夢都有非常顯著的聚焦。我會在每週一話的研讀中來分享這些内容,以幫助我們了解現在正展開的事。 

在1987年的一個先知性經歷中,神讓我看見我們身為一個國家已經向左傾斜很長的時間,我也看見接著會極度左傾。神沒有向我顯示這是好還是不好,只顯示它將會發生。接著我看見一個對此的反應,並轉回右邊。我看見我們不會再次極度左傾,但若太右傾會有危險。 

我將此寫在『收割異象』(The Harvest)一書中,當時主也告訴我老鷹需要左翼和右翼才能飛翔,當重量極度偏向任何一翼就會墜落。因此,警訊在於當我們極度向右或向左,都可能會使我們跌落。

接下來幾年,我認為極度左傾指的是柯林頓政府,後來歐巴馬政府比柯林頓還更左傾。川普似乎開始回到右邊。現在新社會主義者的崛起似乎更加向左,但在這一點上,他們並沒有影響力來改變國家。他們所能做的是造成反彈,讓我們比原先更向右傾。不管是極左或極右都是我們的敵人,無法使我們進入所呼召的樣式。 

那麼,是右翼還是左翼引領我們進入命定,也就是我們的應許之地呢?兩者皆非。某個高過任何一方的事物即將臨到,隨著越來越極端的政治喧囂,它將帶領卓越領導力的新世代讓兩方看見,並帶領我們走向命定和目的。 我研讀歷史超過半世紀,從未看過如此非凡的領袖同時聚在一起,除了我們建國父老以外,還有成熟後的林肯,當時他在生命的最後階段,可以說我們自建國以來就沒有這樣的超凡領袖。我們現在所需要的,以及我們再次會被給予的,不單是一位超凡領袖,而是一群這樣的人,因此他們將一起被視為『新建國父老』。我們也預期這些人當中有一些是母親,要看見我們被呼召的完整異象,我們需要母親的元素。 

我們必須停止思想左和右,開始往上看,回到根源。我們也必須在聖經上看到我們所處的位置例如啟示錄十二章13-16節: 

龍見自己被摔在地上,就逼迫那生男孩子的婦人。於是有大鷹的兩個翅膀賜給婦人,叫她能飛到曠野,到自己的地方,躲避那蛇;她在那裡被養活一載二載半載。蛇就在婦人身後,從口中吐出水來,像河一樣,要將婦人沖去。地卻幫助婦人,開口吞了從龍口吐出來的水(原文作河)。  

在1844年復臨運動前,新教徒和福音派運動普遍相信這段經文指的是美國。在這裡提到的女人被認為是使徒保羅提到『在上的耶路撒冷,她是我們的母』。將會掌管列國的男孩就是基督,祂本由以色列而生,現在將由教會而生,透過那些由聖靈在基督裡被生出來的人。在天主教宗教法庭期間,新教徒與猶太人受到最嚴重的逼迫,估計在歐洲有五千萬人受折磨與被殺害,隨著美國新大陸的發現,『地開了口』。當歐洲各國將注意力集中在這個『新世界』,這場迫害的洪水也被吞沒了。 

當然,美國的象徵是老鷹。在經文中,我們看見『有大鷹的兩個翅膀賜給婦人─教會,叫她能飛到曠野』,此曠野就是當時的美國。許多第一批殖民者,正是那些逃離歐洲迫害的新教徒和猶太人。 為此緣故,我們成為國家的基本目的似乎是成為受逼迫基督徒和猶太人的避難所。直到今日,基督徒和猶太人一直是最受逼迫的人。這並非意味我們不應成為其他受逼迫者的避難所,但我們的主要目的是成為受逼迫基督徒和猶太人的避難所,他們是帶著基督後裔的人。 

為此緣故,美國共和國被呼召為猶太教與基督教共有的國家,我們不是後基督教國家(post-Christian:意指曾深受基督教影響卻衰退了),我們乃是前基督教國家(pre-Christian)。請拭目以待。 

 
The Second American Revolutionary/Civil War, Part 8
Week 8, 2019
Rick Joyner 

Over the last 30+ years, I’ve been given dreams that I now understand relate to the reason for the Second American Revolutionary/Civil War. I did not see them as such when I received them, but since my dream on December 14, 2018 they have all come into remarkable focus. I will share these in this study where they fit to help us relate to what is now unfolding. 

In 1987, I was shown in a prophetic experience that we had been turning to the left as a nation for a long time. I was also shown a coming sharp turn to the left. I was not shown whether this was good or bad, just that it would happen. I was then shown a reaction to this and a turn back to the right. I saw that we would never again make a sharp turn to the left, but there was a danger that we would go too far to the right. 

I wrote about this in my book, The Harvest. That is also when I was told that an eagle needs both a right wing and a left wing to fly. When the weight shifted to the extreme on either wing, it would crash. So the warning was that extreme turns to the right or left could bring us down. 

A few years after this, I thought that the extreme turn to the left was with the Clinton Administration. Then I was sure it had to be the Obama Administration that turned the country much further to the left than Clinton. The Trump Administration seems to be the beginning of turning back to the right. Now we have the rise of the new socialists that seem even further to the left, but at this point they do not have the influence to turn the country. What they can do is cause a reaction to tempt us to go even further to the right than we should. The extremes on both the right and the left are enemies of what we are called to be. 

So will the right or the left lead us to our destiny, our Promise Land? Neither will. Something much higher than either of these is coming. With the increasingly extreme political clamor, it is going to take a new generation of transcendent leadership to both see and steer us toward our destiny and purpose. 

I’ve studied history for over half a century, and I’ve never seen such remarkable leaders gathered in one place at the same time as I saw in our Founding Fathers. With the possible exception of a mature Lincoln, who he was at the end of his life, it could be argued that we have not had such transcendent leaders since our founding as a nation. What we need now, and what we will be given again, is not just one transcendent leader, but another group of them so that together they will be considered the “new Founding Fathers.” We can also expect some of these to be mothers. The mother element is necessary to see the full vision of what we’re called to be. 

Somehow we must stop thinking right and left, and start looking up, back to our roots. We also need to see our place in The Scriptures, such as Revelation 12:13-16: 

And when the dragon saw that he was thrown down to the earth, he persecuted the woman who gave birth to the man-child. 

But the two wings of the great eagle were given to the woman, so that she could fly into the wilderness to her place, where she was nourished for a time and times and half a time, from the presence of the serpent.

And the serpent poured water like a river out of his mouth after the woman, so that he might cause her to be swept away with the flood.

But the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened its mouth and drank up the river which the dragon poured out of his mouth. 

Until the Advent Movement of 1844, this text was almost universally believed by Protestants and evangelical movements to be speaking about America. The woman here is considered to be who the Apostle Paul referred to as “Jerusalem above who is our mother.” The male child who will rule the nations is Christ, who was born through the nation of Israel and is now being born through the church of those who have been born of Christ by the Spirit. During the Inquisition, the worst persecution against Protestants and Jews in which it was estimated that as many as 50 million in Europe were tortured and killed, the “earth opened” with the discovery of America. This flood of persecution was then swallowed up as the nations of Europe gave their attention to populating this “new world.” 

Of course, the symbol of the United States is the eagle. In the text, we see that “two wings of a great eagle” were given to help the woman, the church, who was carried to a wilderness, which is what America was at that time. Many, if not most, of the first colonists were Protestant Christians and Jews fleeing the persecution in Europe. 

For this reason, it seems that one of our basic purposes as a nation is to be a haven for the persecuted Christians and Jews. To this day, Christians and Jews remain the most persecuted people of all. This is not to say that we should not be a haven for other persecuted peoples, but a main purpose that we have is to be a haven for persecuted Christians and Jews, the people who have carried the seed of Christ—the “man-child.”  

For this reason, the American Republic is called to be a Judeo-Christian nation. We are not a post-Christian nation, we are a pre-Christian nation. Wait and see.
