JAP-07 Judgment Begins in the House of God
Tuesday, November 29th, 2011Judgment Begins in the House of God (with Japanese translation)
Judgment
Wednesday, August 31st, 2011今天我將會多多援引施寧院母（Basilea Schlink）所撰寫小小的一本書叫做君尊的祭司（The Royal Priesthood）。本書本來早已絕版，不知道是否因為我的關係，現在又續版了，好像是一九七一年問世。我覺得你們應該會深深賞識神所賞賜給這位女士的優質文筆。也許你們還記得，當我論到先知性(prophetic)的時候，我使用一個詞叫做神諭性（oracular）。然後我在自稱先知的人當中所尋找的東西，就是在他們的講論箇中有否神諭性的分量(oracular weight).我不知道有沒有辦法當場加以詮釋這個含義爲何。那就是神的神諭，來自至聖所的話語，而你感到那一段話的分量和重量，而其廻響紛起。如果有一個十九世紀的先知為代表，是我可以鼎立舉薦的，那麽非這一位女士莫屬。據悉，她執筆寫作之時河流般地流暢，然後她所撰寫的散文異常美麗動人，其筆之清澈正如其人之品格。其文之作風毫無冗詞贅句，毫無炫耀之嫌，毫無繁縟的之乎者也。其話既簡潔又清晰。我們已經對冗詞贅句習以為常，然後終於可以聽到真知灼見的時候，我們因為久等真知灼見而呆若木雞。如果你有這樣的心態的話，你會淒然錯過。從第一句話開始就必須十分專注，加以思索。於是我要翻到本書的中間，也就是論及審判的部分。我非常欣賞她的地方，就是，身為弱質女流的她並沒有婦人之仁，避而不談審判一題，甚至寫到以色列的時候。她對以色列國和其國民有滿懷敬愛，她也分享到以色列之命定和將來清楚的盼望和期待，可是她毫無畏縮和保留地談到並認清神對以色列必要施行的審判，不管是昔日的歷史或是將來。我非常喜愛她這樣，因為真的很貼近神的心，而我希望我們皆能夠明白這一個事實。她在這裡所提到的是耶和華的日子 ，我會讀一些分段來將我們的靈引入這個主題。

The Holocaust in Historical Perspective
Friday, June 3rd, 2011The first disposition of man is to look for explanations to tragedy in the natural. Since mankind is at enmity with God, he will therefore not seek explanation from God. A 1995 message.

Israel and God’s Judgments

The Apocalyptic End
Sunday, January 2nd, 2011Without an apocalyptic expectation of a coming Kingdom and the believer’s place in that Kindgom, we will be fixated in a much less glorious, subjective and personal salvation that is only interested in a “going to heaven.”
The Consequences of Failing to Know God
Monday, December 20th, 2010I am, as I am sure you are, heavy-hearted over the recent assassination of Israel’s head of state, Prime Minister Yitzkak Rabin. As tragic enough as it is itself, it seems to foreshadow something of a most solemn kind for Israel’s troubled future. That is, in the justification found for it, “in God,” by an […]
True and False Prophets
Friday, December 17th, 2010I trust that you share with me the increasing sense of importance that this subject bears. Up until now, I have borne with some patience and even amusement the number of those who currently label themselves “prophetic” and the popularity that this calling now enjoys, which has been contrary to my own experience. It seemed another one of those “fads” that sooner or later would fade away.
God’s Preliminary Judgments?
Friday, December 17th, 2010As I write this (January 1994), some 20,000 victims of the recent California earthquake suffer in improvised and inadequate tent shelters, in abysmal conditions, totally unfamiliar to their accustomed and normally privileged lifestyles. A soldier-enforced curfew seeks to prevent widespread looting, but no legal restraint impedes the greedy from charging exorbitant prices for the simplest amenities, even water.
Some Sober Prophetic Reflections (1993)
Wednesday, December 15th, 2010It seems as if God’s restraint is being increasingly lifted and removed from the world. There is a horrendous breaking-down and erosion of the most elementary values and decency. My soul is oppressed by the mounting hellishness, violence, mindless and conscienceless blood lust, terror and hatred. It is as if the whole moral order is unraveling, even the minimal legal restraints of society, to reveal the naked evil that is in the world.
Sent from God
Tuesday, December 14th, 2010From Isaiah 6, Art shows that the prophetic word of judgment upon Israel still holds, and can only be alleviated by another prophetic word out of the mouths of those who have passed through Isaiah’s own seeing.
Who shall go for Us?
Friday, December 10th, 2010Similar to K-361, Art outlines the conditions whereby God is released to utter His call that He may send a people into the earth for His Name.
Rebuilding the House of God

The Holocaust as Judgment (3 of 3)
