Earthquake
26 At that time his voice shook the earth, but now he has promised, “Once more I will shake not only the earth but also the heavens.”[a] 27 The words “once more” indicate the removing of what can be shaken—that is, created things—so that what cannot be shaken may remain.28 Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us be thankful, and so worship God acceptably with reverence and awe, 29 for our “God is a consuming fire.” Hebrews 12:26-29
A great shaking is coming upon the world. God will begin to shake the heavens and the earth as prophesied in Hebrews 12:26God is telling us to stay the course, remain steady and balanced. Jesus is our protector. (John 10:7-10)If the church follows the world, and looks outward for protection, we will follow the path to destruction.
The Lord illustrated the word to me in a dream. In the dream I was in a building, just bare walls, no furniture, and an earthquake began to shake the walls, and plaster started falling. There were five doors, and I knew we were to stand in the doorways. Some were going outside, but I knew that would be more dangerous. The Lord reminded me that I had dreamed about an earthquake the night before, so at that point I knew that this dream was prophetic and was sure to happen.
The earthquake represents the shaking that is coming. The doors represent Jesus, who calls Himself the door in John 10:7-9. This imagery depicts Jesus as the protector and the way to the Father. He is our security and safety. There were 5 doors. Five is the number of grace. Jesus will provide the grace to stay the course and remain steady in the midst of the shaking. And finally, those who went outside represent those who, in fear, run to the government or something else for protection and find they have run into disaster.
The shaking is coming, that is sure. Stay the course, remain in Jesus, and the promise of a glorious future is our reward!
And to Bethel specifically, The Lord is pleased with us! Take heart! He is calling for the five fold ministry to operate in the body in a more powerful way. Don’t be discouraged by our small size, because we all have an important role in the ministry. His desire is that each one of us operate in the gift He has given us. Encourage, strengthen, build up the body and advance the Kingdom. The end of the age is at hand!
