"Will a lion roar in the forest, when he hath no prey? will a young lion cry out of his den, if he has taken nothing? Surely the Lord GOD will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets. The lion hath roared, who will not fear? The Lord GOD hath spoken, who can but prophesy?" Amos 3:4, 7-8.

The African lion roars when he has caught his prey; for he has taken down that which will appease his hunger. He knows he will eat well, he and his pride/oligarchy; for his means and ways have been met with victory. Every creature round about his kill takes cautious heed.

It is much the same with the lions of nations. When the heads of State have caught their prey (the people) they also roar with political rhetoric while praising themselves for the seemingly good they have done.

The king of beast’s dominion on man’s level, is quite different than the dominion of the Sons of God in His Kingdom. For one, there is no mercy when the ravenous lion rules in judgment over its subjects. They are but flesh on his dinner table: They are burdened by the ever increasing load of taxes, as daily oppressions become the norm. Laws and more laws are imposed, judicial injustices are not uncommon, wars and rumors of wars are ever present. They become demoralized by the day as godliness and virtuous living are undermined, laughed at, and even made unlawful. The beating drums of dumbing down of America’s senses are weighing heavy upon her.

This verse is so clear that a child would not err therein; but Bible scholars and theologians have missed that mark for centuries, whether willingly, blind, or out of ignorance! Even so, can we realistically heap blame upon them? No, we should not; because God is the one who blinded their eyes so that they do not see: "...Who hath made man's mouth? or who maketh the dumb, or deaf, or the seeing, or the blind? have not I the LORD?"Exodus 4:11. And, "The LORD hath not given you an heart to perceive, and eyes to see, and ears to hear, unto this day." Deuteronomy 29:4. Therefore, since He not only creates thrones, dominions, principalities, and powers, He blinds those of His choosing from being able to see the simplest particle of His doing while opening wide the eyes and ears of His Prophets, and especially the Watchers. In turn, whether audible or in the Spirit they shout His word together in agreement, in symphonic harmony throughout the world. By the power of their decrees, things are established. The prophets prophesy when they hear their Lion roar out of Zion; but the Watchers decree and establish those prophecies.

As it is with any orchestra, at hearing the first sounds, or noise, when the musicians are doing the final tuning their instruments, one might wonder if anything good could come from such an unorganized crowd of people. And it has been the same with the symphony of the Lord’s body; but I believe the time has come for the stage’s Light to be turned on. It is the time of birthing, if you please, as our friend Daniel Sutton quoted this short statement recently he heard by the Spirit: "The water is broken." When this happens, anyone who knows about this sort of thing, understands that "the time is short," as others wrote a couple of days ago that they heard by the Spirit.

Therefore, since the water is broken, and the time is short—it is time for the members of the Conductor’s body to take their places and anxiously wait for His baton to slice the air to initiate the grandest symphonic birth the world has ever known. What a decree from the Watchers that will bring forth the manifestation of the glory of the sons of God who will bring salvation to the lost, the downtrodden, the outcast, the wounded, the forsaken, and to all others who hurt!

The entire house will be filled with the glory of the Lord that streams from each vessel. Now that, my friends, is what it is to agree. It is the Lord’s symphony with Him as the Conductor. That is the song of the stars with which we surely sang in agreement. A symphony of rapturous praise by the Spirit from seeing the foundation of the earth being rolled out like a scroll. Such a glorious view of God’s creation, from beginning to end that filled every son of God with a joyous, ear-splitting shout, and it is time to sing and shout again and establish the Kingdom of God at the end of the old era to begin the new!

We know of two people who were witnesses to all of this; but they did not live to see it unfold. One was our first grandson who died at the young age of nineteen, and the other was the daughter of a sister from Mississippi we met in a home meeting near Stanton, Tennessee. Her daughter, as it was with our grandson, also died young. She, like it was for Christopher, saw all there was to know about God, Jesus Christ, and everyone who ever was, is, or will be. They both saw and understood every thing there was to know about mankind, including every individual. They were in awe at knowing all things from the beginning to the end and everything before the beginning and everything after the end, while they knew that they could not possibly know anything like this. Nonetheless, they both saw it and understood it all, for several minutes, while they peered into the eyes of Jesus who had appeared to them. The ongoing and final Word and Spirit that also flowed through their understanding was that—"ALL IS WELL!"

I believe these two precious ones were living on the brink between heaven and hell, between life and death, between this side of the river and the other side—and during one of those times they drew nearer to those celestial shores than to the shores of the world, and they saw all things clearly. To think that we are still concerned about who our president is, whether it is for better or for worse.

Some might think I am either for or against this president, and perhaps in the natural as knowing things I may lean in one direction more than the other; but in the Spirit, it matters not one wit to me whether the president is male or female, black, white, black and white mixture, brown, red, yellow, shades between them all, albino, or pink. Note, these trifles are not an issue. Period! People do not think with their skin. They may think certain ways due to how they were treated because of their skin. Or they may have never been mistreated; but their family, friends, and mentors may have told them all their lives how they are hated by everyone else, and that because of their heritage, they will never prosper in the world. The way people think and do things are what needs to be weighed in the balance of one's personal qualities and especially presidential qualities, and not their physical appearance. We have friends of varied races who we would place our lives and all we own in their hands and never give it a second thought. We also know people of varied races who we wouldn’t entrust our goldfish to their care, should we ever have one. Skin tones do not make people think good or bad; but I can tell you this. Jesus Christ is a factor that causes all who are born of His Spirit to think and do as He thinks and does.

Even so, when we understand it is by God’s hand that the government’s mind-set is to undermine the Constitution, to enslave the people, to pit ethnic groups against one another, spend the country into bankruptcy, and then rebuild it into a Socialistic nation ruled by an "elite" few (the oligarchy), are we to endorse God’s judgment by doing everything we can to support the destruction of the nation? God forbid! By no means should we ever vote to retain or elect men and women who support the killing of more than 54 million babies since 1973 by abortion. Nor should we endorse that which God calls an abomination. Let God control the population if there is a need, not the half-witted sages of the world order. We should, however, minister life and deliverance to those who are party to such an atrocity, whether willingly or unwillingly. Likewise, to endorse homosexuality as a God sanctioned lifestyle would be no different than endorsing fornication. The mystery is that, many people see nothing wrong with either, while some feel that recreational sex, or sex outside of marriage is ok, but not homosexuality. But can we not see that they both are fruits of the carnal nature’s lust? Both are generated by sexual emotions and desire. The only difference between the two is that one is natural and the other is not natural which goes against nature; but both render the same result—physical and emotional self-satisfaction!

Therefore, just because we know that God is judging this nation as well as the world by opening such doors by the works of amoral people and base politicians, we cannot endorse the people nor their actions that help to bring destruction to their lives and the nation. For instance, we could never see a child sodomized and turn a blind eye to the horrific act and say, "Well, it is God’s judgment on the nation." Never, not in a million years could we do so, nor could we give credence to it! Even at the risk of our own life, we would put a stop to it if at all possible. Also, if we could go back in time with the understanding that the horrific death of Jesus was necessary to be part of the salvation of all, and we knew it was a decree from on high, we could have never endorsed it or have been a part of it.

Therefore, when we see God’s judgment being levied upon the people of this country, we neither attempt to usurp His authority and take the rod from His hand, nor do we plead with Him to let the nation go without being disciplined. Nor do we take the self-righteous approach by gathering around like cheerleaders encouraging Him on. However, as the Watchers, when the time comes, we will say to the rods of correction to cease, and they will obey! The powers will be removed and replaced with others of God’s choosing.

The Watchers will not prophesy that it will take place, someday, but decree it to be, and it will be established! Since the two witnesses of Revelation 11 have finished their testimony, for the most part, they have been killed by the beast. They are laying as laughingstocks in the streets of that great city that is spiritually called Sodom and Egypt; that is, the United States of America. The beast waged war on those whose testimony had been godly, descent, honorable, moral, and the beast has won that war. His weapons have been scurrilous propaganda, character assassinations, deriding those who are anything other than crass, worldly, and decadent. Charlatan ministers and churches have added to their demise as well as the News Media, Christian scandals of promiscuity and immorality, and more, have all been part of the weapons that helped to kill the two witnesses. But praise God! Their testimony was finished! There was nothing more for them to say! It was time for it to end and make room for that which is greater!

We see that after three days, these two witnesses are raised to life and are caught up to heaven, to a much higher realm of life and authority. With the prophetic order dead, they no longer prophesy—THEY DECREE! They do not prophesy in sackcloth—they decree from the throne of God in the heavens! And when they decree, things happen, and it does not take 1000 years, 100 years, or even 1 year to see it! Moreover, when the Watchers decree, they don’t have to put out a fleece to see if it is of God or not. They don’t have to test the waters. They don’t have to step out on a limb in blind faith and say, "Thus saith the Lord." No, not at all! For they speak from the Throne’s powerhouse of authority and dominion! Their decrees do not have to be worked up, fasted for, or given to premeditation. When the time comes, without hesitation, forethought, or wavering whatsoever— they demand things to be, and they are established. Frankly, if they didn’t sound the decrees when it was time, I believe they would explode from the build up of power from within. How many of you have had a foretaste of this and can relate to what I am saying? A few, I am sure.

There was a season when the spirit of prophecy flowed like mighty rivers in this nation. But the time has come for that which is foretold—and declared to be taking place in the distant future—to end. Prophecies had let us know what wonderful things would come to pass, which gave us hope. But the time has come for the Watchers to bring it all to pass by their anointed decrees! It is like an executive order that has been sealed until an appointed hour, and once that hour arrives, whoever is authorized to do so breaks the seal. The order is made known to the Watchers who decree and establish that which had been prophesied. A decree can also be made that has never been prophesied. It can be a word in due season and for the occasions as the Lord conveys His word to His Watchers. It can be a word or event that had been heard or seen by a prophet, like John, but forbidden to be written in the book of Revelation.

Some would be tempted to draw up a pattern as to how the Watchers work; but we do not see that they have a pattern. They simply demand and establish things from the Throne; for being one mind with their King, they go about His business and bring forth whatever His plan might be at any given moment whether it is time for prophecies to be fulfilled or it is a new thing. Moreover, until our natural minds are totally renewed, some of our Father’s doings might not be that which we would choose or even think could be something He would be a part of. One thing comes to mind that a few surely disagree with His choice of our current president. Even so, it, indeed, was His choice, and He then passed it on to His Watchers in the form of a decree to make sure it happened. We might ought to get used to these High Court orders; for when they are given to us, we will demand that they are fulfilled whether our natural minds like it or not; for when the Lion roars from the heights of Zion, how can we do other than to decree His word?

We know that He spoke to John that to the overcomers He would... " ...give power over the nations." Revelation 2:26. We look at this and may form an opinion that one of the first things we will do is to destroy the wicked governments of the world and set up God’s righteous ones in their place. And perhaps, punish the bad guys and reward the good ones. But by now, we are seeing that there is more to it than this; such as, decreeing that men of clandestine motives are set in power to judge and bring nations down.

It is still hard for many to grasp that many matters are by the decree of the Watchers, and those decrees are demands as holy ones, and this is so the world may know that the most High rules in the kingdom of men. And also that God gives it to whomsoever He will! And He sets up over nations the basest of men. Daniel 4:17.

As for base men, look around, my friends, and find one who is self-willed, self-aggrandizing, an egotistical self-loving narcissist, who is oozing with pride, one who is a hyper-sensitive, ruthless, vindictive, heartless, and pitiless man, who is unremorseful, deceitful, and is a pathological liar you might have found the next president of the United States of America, or some other world leader. For how much more base can one be?

With only a slight insight of these things, we can see that it is not a deep mystery that there is no president who has ever had the solution to America's problems, much less that of the other nations of world. Men, in fact, are the cause of the problems, and there will never be a day when we can trust in horses and chariots and reap that which only comes by the grace of God. There is no man, or many men, no political parties or organizations that can rid us of wickedness, poverty, and tyranny. Neither philosophies, armies, nor man in general can avert this. Until the hearts of the people forsake their evil ways and turn whole-heartedly to the Lord, the downward spiral to total destruction will surely continue.

So, let the lions of the earth roar; for they have their prey. Let the young lions roar in their dens; for they have taken their kill inside. But now the Lord, the Lion of Judah has also taken His prey—this nation—and it is in the jaws of his anointed, Cyrus/Obama, and His Watchers are sounding their decrees. His holy ones are demanding these things to be done. But this is not the end of the matter; for the same Watchers will decree the destruction of these earthly base lions of folly. They will say thus far and no more!
