Woe To The Spiritual Children Of Edom, For The LORD Will Strike You Down To Rise No More!

Dearest saints,

The LORD wants me to deliver this Rhema Word to you, based primarily on the prophecy of Jeremiah 49:7-22. This is a prophecy the LORD had led me to read twice within the span of a few weeks, and the Holy Spirit has been impressing certain spiritual truths within me from this passage. While the literal prophecy was given against the historical kingdom of Edom, and it has essentially been fulfilled, there is a wider spiritual prophecy within that applies to the spiritual descendants of Edom.

Please prayerfully discern this message and take it to the LORD in prayer for His confirmation to you, my brothers and sisters. As usual, I have included the coordinating Scriptures, along with relevant end-time information linked to this Rhema message from the LORD. At the end, I have included a section on notes highlighting the Jeremiah 49:7-22 prophecy and its relevance to the spiritual descendants of Edom in America today. May you be blessed with God's truth through this message.

4 April 2016

"To those who have eyes to see, and who have ears to hear, I AM giving you this warning this day: The spiritual descendants of Edom will soon be destroyed by Me, the God of splendour, holiness and of glory!

"My children, many of you have been troubled by reports of the archway of the Temple of Baal being prepared to be built in the two major cities of the western world, New York and London. You are right to be disturbed, My beloved saints, for these archways to be built as monumental replications of what was allegedly destroyed by the Islamic State terrorists in Palmyra, will serve as physical symbols of the increasing spiritual darkness that is manifesting in your world now.

"Those who plot against Me and My covenant people, Israel, are the spiritual descendants of Esau, also named Edom. I tell you now that the prophecy I had given to my prophet in Jeremiah 49:7-22 will be spiritually fulfilled when I strike down the spiritual descendants of Edom in the coming time of Daniel's 70th Week, for those who seek to tear apart and devour My people, Israel, will themselves, be crushed and destroyed by My indignation and righteous anger.

"The wisdom of the leadership in the United States of America has waned and decayed in the rising tide of godlessness and evil, for those who have true wisdom, are those who walk with Me in My ways, dear children. True wisdom is found in Me, God Almighty, and not in the gods of this sin-cursed world. Yet, your leaders have increasingly permitted wicked men and women to do as they please, and in so doing, you are destroying yourselves by pushing Me out of the governance of your nation, out of the moral fibre of your armed forces, out of the education of your young ones, and out of the consciousness of your civil societies.

"I AM raising up armies to invade the United States of America, for the Land of the Free has chosen to give up her freedom by walking in the ways of those who are wicked and godless. You shall taste destruction, imprisonment and exile, O America! The stench of death will hang over you and your land, for those who stubbornly continue to forsake Me and My ways will end up receiving the wages of sin, which is death. You think that you can exalt yourselves above Me, but I will bring your down to the depths of despair! Truly, I say to you, the wicked scoffers will learn that there is a God in Heaven, and you will regret the times that you have mocked Me and ridiculed My faithful saints!

"None shall escape the great calamities I have elected to bring upon you, except those who are truly the Brave among My people. These are the wise virgins who faithfully intercede in prayer for your wicked nation, My bold children who stand bravely in the gap for the people of America, because they know that the real war being waged is not merely of flesh and blood, but of the powers in the spiritual realms. These are the brave warriors of My Son, Yeshua HaMashiach, Jesus Christ, the Lord and Messiah of the world. I will rescue them from the hour of trial that is coming upon the inhabitants of the earth, for they will not suffer My wrath and judgment upon the earth.

"The birth pains continue to grow in the earth, My beloved saints, and the signs in the sun, moon and the stars are increasingly visible to all who are spiritually awake in Christ Jesus, My Son. Keep watch, dear ones, for the Sign of the Son of Man will be made manifest in your skies soon, even as lightning from the east can be seen in the west, so will the whole world see the Son of Man coming on the clouds with great power and glory, and then the time of great darkness will surely come upon the earth.

"Remain faithful in your walk with Me through My Holy Spirit within you, My loves, for many have grown weary and are gradually turning back to the ways of the world. I say this to all My faithful saints: Only those who remain faithful in My Son till the end will be saved from the hour of trial and temptation that is coming upon the earth when the age of My grace and mercy closes with the Rapture of My Son's Bride and His Wedding Guests, for those who choose NOT to wait, watch and pray will be left behind to enter the age of Great Tribulation. Know this, My loves, there is nothing upon the earth that is worth losing your seat at the Wedding Feast of the Lamb, and only those who choose to persevere to the end, in the abundant grace I have apportioned to you through My Son, Yeshua, will be counted worthy to be His precious Bride!

" I, your Abba Father, has spoken and let My Words be heard and heeded, for the great and terrible Day of the LORD is soon upon you, and who will stand? None can stand before My wrath and judgment, save those who have clean hands and a pure heart through faith, repentance and obedience in Jesus Christ, My Son!"

~ Abba Father, Almighty God

• Coordinating Scriptures:

Jeremiah 49:7-22 (NKJV)
7 Against Edom.
Thus says the Lord of hosts:
“Is wisdom no more in Teman?
Has counsel perished from the prudent?
Has their wisdom vanished?
8 Flee, turn back, dwell in the depths, O inhabitants of Dedan!
For I will bring the calamity of Esau upon him,
The time that I will punish him.
9 If grape-gatherers came to you,
Would they not leave some gleaning grapes?
If thieves by night,
Would they not destroy until they have enough?
10 But I have made Esau bare;
I have uncovered his secret places,
And he shall not be able to hide himself.
His descendants are plundered,
His brethren and his neighbors,
And he is no more.
11 Leave your fatherless children,
I will preserve them alive;
And let your widows trust in Me.”
12 For thus says the Lord: “Behold, those whose judgment was not to drink of the cup have assuredly drunk. And are you the one who will altogether go unpunished? You shall not go unpunished, but you shall surely drink of it. 13 For I have sworn by Myself,” says the Lord, “that Bozrah shall become a desolation, a reproach, a waste, and a curse. And all its cities shall be perpetual wastes.”
14 I have heard a message from the Lord,
And an ambassador has been sent to the nations:
“Gather together, come against her,
And rise up to battle!
15 “For indeed, I will make you small among nations,
Despised among men.
16 Your fierceness has deceived you,
The pride of your heart,
O you who dwell in the clefts of the rock,
Who hold the height of the hill!
Though you make your nest as high as the eagle,
I will bring you down from there,” says the Lord.
17 “Edom also shall be an astonishment;
Everyone who goes by it will be astonished
And will hiss at all its plagues.
18 As in the overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah
And their neighbors,” says the Lord,
“No one shall remain there,
Nor shall a son of man dwell in it.
19 “Behold, he shall come up like a lion from the floodplain of the Jordan
Against the dwelling place of the strong;
But I will suddenly make him run away from her.
And who is a chosen man that I may appoint over her?
For who is like Me?
Who will arraign Me?
And who is that shepherd
Who will withstand Me?”
20 Therefore hear the counsel of the Lord that He has taken against Edom,
And His purposes that He has proposed against the inhabitants of Teman:
Surely the least of the flock shall draw them out;
Surely He shall make their dwelling places desolate with them.
21 The earth shakes at the noise of their fall;
At the cry its noise is heard at the Red Sea.
22 Behold, He shall come up and fly like the eagle,
And spread His wings over Bozrah;
The heart of the mighty men of Edom in that day shall be
Like the heart of a woman in birth pangs.

Obadiah 6-18 (NKJV)
6 “Oh, how Esau shall be searched out!
How his hidden treasures shall be sought after!
7 All the men in your confederacy
Shall force you to the border;
The men at peace with you
Shall deceive you and prevail against you.
Those who eat your bread shall lay a trap for you.
No one is aware of it.
8 “Will I not in that day,” says the Lord,
“Even destroy the wise men from Edom,
And understanding from the mountains of Esau?
9 Then your mighty men, O Teman, shall be dismayed,
To the end that everyone from the mountains of Esau
May be cut off by slaughter.
10 “For violence against your brother Jacob,
Shame shall cover you,
And you shall be cut off forever.
11 In the day that you stood on the other side—
In the day that strangers carried captive his forces,
When foreigners entered his gates
And cast lots for Jerusalem—
Even you were as one of them.
12 “But you should not have gazed on the day of your brother
In the day of his captivity;
Nor should you have rejoiced over the children of Judah
In the day of their destruction;
Nor should you have spoken proudly
In the day of distress.
13 You should not have entered the gate of My people
In the day of their calamity.
Indeed, you should not have gazed on their affliction
In the day of their calamity,
Nor laid hands on their substance
In the day of their calamity.
14 You should not have stood at the crossroads
To cut off those among them who escaped;
Nor should you have delivered up those among them who remained
In the day of distress.
15 “For the day of the Lord upon all the nations is near;
As you have done, it shall be done to you;
Your reprisal shall return upon your own head.
16 For as you drank on My holy mountain,
So shall all the nations drink continually;
Yes, they shall drink, and swallow,
And they shall be as though they had never been.
17 “But on Mount Zion there shall be deliverance,
And there shall be holiness;
The house of Jacob shall possess their possessions.
18 The house of Jacob shall be a fire,
And the house of Joseph a flame;
But the house of Esau shall be stubble;
They shall kindle them and devour them,
And no survivor shall remain of the house of Esau,”
For the Lord has spoken.

Matthew 24:26-31 (NKJV)
26 “Therefore if they say to you, ‘Look, He is in the desert!’ do not go out; or ‘Look, He is in the inner rooms!’ do not believe it.27 For as the lightning comes from the east and flashes to the west, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be. 28 For wherever the carcass is, there the eagles will be gathered together.
29 “Immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken. 30 Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. 31 And He will send His angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they will gather together His elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.

Luke 21:25-28, 34-36 (NKJV)
25 “And there will be signs in the sun, in the moon, and in the stars; and on the earth distress of nations, with perplexity, the sea and the waves roaring; 26 men’s hearts failing them from fear and the expectation of those things which are coming on the earth, for the powers of the heavens will be shaken. 27 Then they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. 28 Now when these things begin to happen, look up and lift up your heads, because your redemption draws near.”
34 “But take heed to yourselves, lest your hearts be weighed down with carousing, drunkenness, and cares of this life, and that Day come on you unexpectedly.35 For it will come as a snare on all those who dwell on the face of the whole earth.36 Watch therefore, and pray always that you may be counted worthy to escape all these things that will come to pass, and to stand before the Son of Man.”

Revelation 3:10-13 (NKJV)
10 Because you have kept My command to persevere, I also will keep you from the hour of trial which shall come upon the whole world, to test those who dwell on the earth. 11 Behold, I am coming quickly! Hold fast what you have, that no one may take your crown. 12 He who overcomes, I will make him a pillar in the temple of My God, and he shall go out no more. I will write on him the name of My God and the name of the city of My God, the New Jerusalem, which comes down out of heaven from My God. And I will write on him My new name.
13 “He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.”’

Psalm 24:1-5 (NKJV)
1 The earth is the Lord’s, and all its fullness,
The world and those who dwell therein.
2 For He has founded it upon the seas,
And established it upon the waters.
3 Who may ascend into the hill of the Lord?
Or who may stand in His holy place?
4 He who has clean hands and a pure heart,
Who has not lifted up his soul to an idol,
Nor sworn deceitfully.
5 He shall receive blessing from theLord,
And righteousness from the God of his salvation.

• Relevant End-Time Information:

1) "And there will be signs in the sun..."
Please focus on the 5.40-7.40 segment of this YouTube video/photo presentation, which shows the strange appearance of what seems to possibly be a winged planetary object in front of our sun. Also the creator of the Youtube video tries to explain what he believes is the most likely reason that we don't seem to be able to see this 'winged planet' consistently each day, ie. New World Order cover-up using space technology.

2) The Archways of The Temple Of Baal To Be Built In New York and London on 19 April 2016

• Notes:
1) This message was given to me on 4 April or 4/4-> 44. The number 44 can symbolise God's divine judgment that is coming upon the world.

2) Jeremiah 49:16 speaks of the pride of Edom and how they built their kingdom up among the mountain peaks, where the eagles live. For many decades, God had blessed America to the extent that it became arguably the most prosperous and powerful nation on earth. The U.S. was figuratively ruling from the mountain heights of the world's nations, whether economically, politically or militarily. Even the U.S. pop culture has dominated the world for a long time (eg. Hollywood movies).

This is also symbolised by the iconic bald eagle of America, which is known to make its nest upon the highest tree tops, near large lakes. From what I understand, it is not unheard of for the national bird of America to nest on mountain cliff faces as well, in the absence of suitable forested nesting sites.

However, America is now so consumed with pride and rebellion against God that she has incurred His righteous anger and divine judgment upon this nation.

Jeremiah 49:16 (NKJV)
16 Your fierceness has deceived you,
The pride of your heart,
O you who dwell in the clefts of the rock,
Who hold the height of the hill!
Though you make your nest as high as the eagle,
I will bring you down from there,” says the Lord.

3) In a previous post I made shortly after the most recent American State of the Union speech by the POTUS, the Lord declared that America will be destroyed as a nation and her survivors shall be cast into exile by Almighty God. A sister-in-Christ asked me for Scriptural proof of this frightful portion of the rhema prophecy I had posted, and I directed her to Revelation 18.
Let us now compare that prophecy with Jeremiah 49:14, 17-22.
(NKJV)
14 I have heard a message from the Lord,
And an ambassador has been sent to the nations:
“Gather together, come against her,
And rise up to battle!
17 “Edom also shall be an astonishment;
Everyone who goes by it will be astonished
And will hiss at all its plagues.
18 As in the overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah
And their neighbors,” says the Lord,
“No one shall remain there,
Nor shall a son of man dwell in it.
19 “Behold, he shall come up like a lion from the floodplain of the Jordan
Against the dwelling place of the strong;
But I will suddenly make him run away from her.
And who is a chosen man that I may appoint over her?
For who is like Me?
Who will arraign Me?
And who is that shepherd
Who will withstand Me?”
20 Therefore hear the counsel of the Lord that He has taken against Edom,
And His purposes that He has proposed against the inhabitants of Teman:
Surely the least of the flock shall draw them out;
Surely He shall make their dwelling places desolate with them.
21 The earth shakes at the noise of their fall;
At the cry its noise is heard at the Red Sea.
22 Behold, He shall come up and fly like the eagle,
And spread His wings over Bozrah;
The heart of the mighty men of Edom in that day shall be
Like the heart of a woman in birth pangs.

Just as the Lord has revealed to a number of us that the United States of America is spiritual Babylon, the Lord is revealing now that America is also spiritual Edom, and the U.S. will drink His cup of wrath and righteous indignation, to fall and rise no more.

4) The Lord had previously declared that the way for America (and any nation, for that matter) to avert His divine judgment upon them is to practise the following Scripture:

2 Chronicles 7:14 (NKJV)
14 "if My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land."
This promise is given by God to His Old Covenant people, the nation of Israel, but it can also apply to all the nations, for we are God's created children, and He is our Creator God. The Ninevites were historically the enemies of God's chosen people, and although they knew not His Law, they believed the warning of His prophet, Jonah, and they averted God's declared judgment upon them by speedily conducting a national repentance and contrite fasting, from the greatest to the least among them.

Jonah 3:4-10 (NKJV)
4 And Jonah began to enter the city on the first day’s walk. Then he cried out and said, “Yet forty days, and Nineveh shall be overthrown!”
5 So the people of Nineveh believed God, proclaimed a fast, and put on sackcloth, from the greatest to the least of them.
6 Then word came to the king of Nineveh; and he arose from his throne and laid aside his robe, covered himself with sackcloth and sat in ashes. 7 And he caused it to be proclaimed and published throughout Nineveh by the decree of the king and his nobles, saying,
Let neither man nor beast, herd nor flock, taste anything; do not let them eat, or drink water. 8 But let man and beast be covered with sackcloth, and cry mightily to God; yes, let every one turn from his evil way and from the violence that is in his hands. 9 Who can tell if God will turn and relent, and turn away from His fierce anger, so that we may not perish?
10 Then God saw their works, that they turned from their evil way; and God relented from the disaster that He had said He would bring upon them, and He did not do it.

5) As much as God's promise in 2 Chronicles 7:14 still stands today, the LORD sees the hearts and minds of all mankind. He knows there are still many faithful and righteous saints of Christ who walk obediently in His ways in the nation of America, but God knows that there are many in the U.S. who will NOT choose to repent and turn away from their wickedness to embrace His forgiveness and salvation.

In the absence of a true nationwide repentance and without the national seeking of God with sincere contrite hearts, America (and any other wicked nation) cannot possibly avert the divine wrath and righteous judgment of God.

Let us take heed, my brethren, and may we keep praying for the salvation of our family, neighbours, friends, colleagues and even our enemies, because God's judgment is upon the world, and it will only get worse as the Day of the LORD comes. Yet, we have His assurance that those of us who walk with Him with clean hands and a pure heart, those who are continually washed by the precious Blood of the Lamb, will be able to stand in the power of His Spirit within us, when the world is consumed by the climax of the birth pain tribulation that will soon be fulfilled.

SHALOM.

May God bless you!

In Christ,
Mark Chen
