Two things happened this weekend causing me to write about them. First, yesterday morning a little after 4 AM I was awaken by both of my calf muscles cramping requiring to jump out of bed to relieve the pain. This has only happened one other time to me and it occurred in August of 1996 just before I was to depart the church.
On the Sunday of the Feast of Pentecost, May 1996, Martin Paulat called me and told me of a vision he had that weekend. The vision FATHER gave him had me on a specific path. He would ask, “Is Bob on the right path?” and FATHER said “Yes.” Three arrows were shot at me while on this path and they were shot by “the pentecostal church”. On the particular Sunday morning I had the dual calf muscle cramps we had a guest speaker at our church- a church prophet. That Sunday evening he spoke on the book of Malachi. I had been studying that particular book just prior to that weekend.
In chapter 3, FATHER told me that the following verses were referring to the current leadership in the Pentecostal church when HE was spoke the following:
13 “Your words have been harsh against Me,” Says the LORD, “Yet you say, ‘What have we spoken against You?’
14 You have said, ‘It is useless to serve God; What profit is it that we have kept His ordinance, And that we have walked as mourners Before the LORD of hosts?
15 So now we call the proud blessed, For those who do wickedness are raised up; They even tempt God and go free.’ ”
Then we have the Remnant mentioned:
16 Then those who feared the LORD spoke to one another, And the LORD listened and heard them; So a book of remembrance was written before Him For those who fear the LORD And who meditate on His name.
17 “They shall be Mine,” says the LORD of hosts, “On the day that I make them My jewels. And I will spare them As a man spares his own son who serves him.”
18 Then you shall again discern Between the righteous and the wicked, Between one who serves God And one who does not serve Him.
In Malachi 4 speaks of the Great Day of THE LORD and in verse 2, the calves are mentioned:
NRSV 4:2 But for you who revere my name the sun of righteousness shall rise, with healing in its wings. You shall go out leaping like calves from the stall.
My calves caused me to leap out of bed that morning.
Chapter 3 just happened to be what the prophet spoke on that evening. When he covered verses 16 through 18, he proclaimed those verses to represent the church but I knew different. Three times he had the congregation agree with him when he asked the question “Who does this (16-18) refer to?’. In unison the congregation would loudly proclaim “the church” but I was silent. I was told that night not to challenge Saul’s anointing.
This latest episode of leaping out of bed due to my two calves is the 2nd witness to me that the Great Day of THE LORD is at hand.
At little after 4 AM this morning I was awakened from a dream where a man said “This will become known as the darkest day in history.” I fell back asleep and awoke again with that statement in front of me. A third time I awoke and it was still there. As of this writing I am not aware of anything happening today and do not know if this refers to this day or some day in the near future. I was led to write of these events to alert you so that you are not caught unaware.
In 1996, there were three arrows shot at me by the church. The church prophet shot the 2nd arrow and two weeks later the pastor shot the last arrow and FATHER had me depart on August 31st of that year. A few weeks later I attended my first Feast of Tabernacles in Minneapolis and was asked to speak. I spoke on the Book of Esther.
Clearly today I will be keeping my eyes and ears open. What is happening may be only in the Spiritual, it may be in the physical behind closed doors, or it may simply be coming soon. Only FATHER knows.
