Last year I was awakened by the Lord to hear him say that John Paul II was dying, it was a Tuesday morning, and within a couple of days he was in the hospital. A number of television cameras were on 5th Ave. and 50th Street in New York where I spend time on prayer walks in N.Y.
Within a week of this word John Paul II was dead. I was asked by a reporter on Saturday from CNN to speak about the Pope on television in front of St. Patrick's Cathedral, and felt like it was a divine appointment from the Lord.
The word the Lord gave to me was to quote an old Catholic prophet (Malachy) and the book of Amos together. An ancient prophesy of Malachy spoke of John Paul I papacy as being typified as the moon, and then a Pope would follow that was like the sun. John Paul I lived one month, and then John Paul II was the second longest papacy if you do not count Peter the apostle.
The Lord had me prophesy on CNN that the word of God says that the day of the Lord is darkness, quoting the prophet Amos.
(The day of the Lord) it will be like someone who runs from a lion, and meets a bear! Or like someone who comes home to put his hand on the wall, only to be bitten by a snake! The day of the Lord will bring darkness, and not light. Amos 5:18-20
I quoted the above verse then prophesied that the death of John Paul II was an outward sign of this day of the Lord, and darkness setting in, using the analogy of him being like the sun. Perhaps part of this word was as the sun makes circuits around the Earth, so the Pope made many circuits as he flew to different Cities to Shepherd Catholics. The Lord had me honor the Pope on CNN, which I feel was His heart towards JP II.
The Popes death was thus a type of the light of day ending, and darkness setting in. It was not that he was the light, for the Lord alone is the light, it was that he was a prophetic sign of entering into that season of darkness that the day of the Lord is prophesied as being in scriptures. The Lord is the Bride Groom that makes His circuit through the Earth, and where the sun is setting in one place it is rising in another, I love Psalm 65 on this rising and setting with praise coming forth. I believe the glory of the Lord has risen in Australia, and is heading for the Orient. While the day of the Lord is like a thief in the night, it is also a rising of the Lord in Nations of His power. Where morning dawns and evening fades he calls forth songs of praise. Fires in the night and morning glory in the ends of the Earth.
The Lord is our light and our salvation, whom shall we fear says Psalm 27. In the midst of great darkness and tribulation that shall come forth these next thirty years before the Lord returns, we have the opportunity to be light in darkness, and to be those of whom the darkness does not comprehend what the company of Elohim's light is doing.
Let us not only discern the times and seasons about us, but become this light that shines forth.
Become the flames of the word of God walked out as "He is a lamp to our feet and a light to our path."
Let no confusion be found in us beloveds, just the fire of revelation burning in us, and knowing the Lord.
This is the sixth day since creation according to the Jewish calendar (5766), and the sixth spirit, or flame as I refer to it, of Isaiah 11 is the knowledge of the Lord. Let us know the Lord, stand firm, and do his exploits as He moves upon us; having a godly fear of the Lord, and a revelation of His awesome love for us as His people. We fear not the darkness, but light a fire. To Know Him (gnosko) is to become one with Him in ministry, walking with the Lord and Him living through us.
Were not all the candles in St Peters Square at John paul's death somewhat prophetic of lighting a fire in this present darkness. May Europe have many fires of revival be ignited.
I have met Catholics from Rome involved in 24/7 prayer and the Lord is doing a work in their midst, one Priest was given a Basilica in Rome for a House of prayer a couple of years ago. May the spirit that was in Bangor, the Moravian's, and the Reformers come alive in the Church in Europe. This seems to be one of the main battle grounds for light verses darkness.
