| Justice-Repentence and the Zadok Priesthood Bob Jones & Paul Keith Davis The following is a portion of the visions and revelations given through the 1996 Shepherd’s Rod. These messages were preserved on tape but just now put in written form. The spiritual truth in it helps to highlight the issues that will enable us to attain our high calling and walk intimately with Him. That is indeed our prayer... LACK OF JUSTICE At the end of 1995, our judicial system permitted a great wrong to go unpunished in a highly publicized celebrity trial broadcast throughout the whole world. During this years season of Yom Kippur, our nation was hit by a devastating hurricane by the name of Opal. This was no coincidence. God sovereignly allows all of these things with purpose and a message because of unrighteousness. Hurricanes, tornadoes, and other natural disasters are denoting divine disturbances in the earth. All of us felt the consequences of these in some measure. However, you'll find the places with flagrant spirits of pleasure and gratification of flesh, received the greatest impact of these calamities, signifying the Lord’s displeasure in these areas of sin. Many people erroneously believe the Lord is pleased with things that are going on in this country. Unfortunately, that is a deception. The issues of abortion, homosexuality and rampant lawlessness grieve the Holy Spirit and defile the land according to Leviticus 18. We must come before the Lord with a heart of repentance, like Daniel whom the scriptures describe as one of “high esteem” and greatly beloved. In his great prayer of repentance, the prophet cries out on his behalf and those of his people, not because of any merits of his own...but because of the Lord’s lovingkindness and mercy. (Daniel 9) During the previous year the Lord allowed us to prophesy there would be double storms hitting this nation. It has now become history with two hurricanes striking the Gulf Coast along the Pensacola, FL area. Metrologist reported that it would be an incredible phenomena for two hurricanes to hit the same city in a century. Now we have two hurricanes striking the same location within a matter of days of one another. This is clearly a prophetic sign denoting the double portion that is being released in the church. With the storms came considerable rainfall signifying the anointed teaching that will be produced through the emerging Zadok priesthood. These anointed priests or teachers will begin to authenticate that which is holy and separate that which is profane. This will allow us to be sanctified in truth and presentable to the Lord as a consecrated vessel. Sanctify them in the truth; your word is truth. (John 17:17) THE ZADOK PRIESTHOOD The ultimate purpose of the Zadok priesthood is to minister unto the Lord as described in Ezekiel 44. But the Levitical priests, the sons of Zadok, who kept charge of My sanctuary when the sons of Israel went astray from Me, shall come near to Me to minister to Me; and they shall stand before Me to offer Me the fat and the blood," declares the Lord GOD. They shall enter My sanctuary; they shall come near to My table to minister to Me and keep My charge. (Ezek 44:15-16) This is denoting an emphasis on the five fold ministry of teachers as they prepare the body of Christ to receive the strong Prophetic and Apostolic ministries yet to commence. The government is coming forth to be properly placed in it’s role as the foundation within the body with Jesus Christ as chief Cornerstone. These will be leaders in whom the Lord has found pleasure and can be trusted with the power and authority necessary for kingdom purposes to be accomplished in the earth. Presently, these emerging leaders are in a season of pruning and sifting— forging their character to carry this distinct anointing. They will be the judges and counselors who will not judge by what their eyes see nor what their ears hear, but in righteousness make judgements of equity and justice. The refiners fire is thoroughly purifying these leaders so the anointing would not be lost nor the wineskins destroyed for lack of character. It will be a true impartation of the divine nature and Holy character established in the spirit and soul of the Lord’s leadership. MEASURES OF JUDGEMENT In this year’s revelations, the Lord signified the continuing judgments striking through the pattern of natural disasters we have already seen. Weather will be increasingly volatile with droughts in certain areas while floods in another. Even pestilence will increase in it’s magnitude along with heightened earthquake activity. The admonition to the church is to keep our eyes focused on the Lord and not allow ourselves to be burdened or anxious about the things going on around us. It will continue to be the “best of times” and the “worst of times.” The best of times for those who walk in purity and righteousness before the Lord and are being led by His Spirit. Those who have not received the Lord’s salvation and placed their trust in Him will experience increased pressures as the spirit of this world becomes increasingly unstable. There will even be an escalation of demonic spirits loosed against the mental, physical, financial, social, emotional and sexual well-being of people. These arenas of life constituting that “which we are” and those things “which we do” will experience increased pressure driving people to the cross for their deliverance and salvation. |
