The Antichrist


We’re in the midst of a season of change. Both Scripture and the Early Church tell us what is going to happen next in the world. The current church’s end time eschatology is missing an integral key for the end times: the spirit of Elijah which will restore all things. The Early Church was certainly not silent concerning this. Many Early Church Fathers prophesied that Elijah must come to restore the church because of its fallen state, and that without Elijah, not one would be saved. Malachi prophesies this will happen before the Great and Terrible Day of the Lord (Malachi 4:5). Scripture says that Elijah would seal the remnant before the time of the Antichrist and would also expose the Antichrist who would come from within the church to deceive the church with false doctrine. 

 

Why don’t we hear about Elijah’s important end time role in today’s churches? How does the spirit of Elijah fit into modern end time eschatology, such as the rapture? Quite simply, Elijah does not fit into modern end time eschatology...this means something must be off. The church is not where it should be and the priests today are robbing God of His offering. Let’s be clear, money is not the offering. The people are the offering. You are the offering. 

 

We need to understand the spirit of Antichrist now and where we’re at in the church. Many think that the Antichrist is Joe Biden; people used to think it was Saddam Hussein, or some other figure outside the church. The Bible and Early Church were clear about where the Antichrist would come from and who he would be. Scripture states that the spirit of Antichrist comes out of the church, and those who left the church were not really a part of the church but have the spirit of Antichrist (1 John 2:19). We know that Christ means anointing. The Early Church taught that the anointing is divine teaching, which are the mysteries of the kingdom. 

 

The spirit of Antichrist manifests through false teachers who come against the mysteries of the Kingdom that Christ taught. Early Church Father Tertullian said that there were pseudo-prophets who were actually operating in the spirit of psychics. They appeared to be preaching Christ but were actually opposing Christ in their teachings. Anything that opposes the truth found solely in Christ is heretical. The Apostle Paul taught that when you are being taught another Jesus other than the one whom Paul preached, you receive another spirit (2 Corinthians 11:4). That’s the spirit of the Antichrist. The Apostle Paul also warned us about the Antichrist doing lying signs and wonders (2 Thessalonians 2:9). The Early Church furthered warned about that heretical spirit, which operated in their time as well. 

 

We have over 30,000 different denominations today, all preaching a different Jesus. Not one of these denominations teach what the Early Church taught - instead they’re bringing different gospels under a different spirit. This is why God has to bring the spirit of Elijah to combat that spirit of Antichrist in the church. Why would God bring a harvest to a church that has departed from His truth, a church that has a fragmented and divided message? The remnant is going to be sealed, if not already sealed, and the Antichrist spirit in the church is going to be defeated. Only then can the final harvest come. God is cleaning His house; He is pruning all the vines that are not producing His fruit. It is happening now saints. 

 

Sincerely,

Apostle Michael Petro

Passover 2021 and the Final Move of God

Image
As the congregation gathered for Passover, there was a tangible presence of the Lord in worship. But even in the midst of it, the Lord was telling me that some are still holding onto a spirit of pride and it’s time to let it go. The Lord wants that spirit killed now. Too many are sitting back to observe, worried about what they’re going to look like, but this is not the time to spectate. This is the time to enter in. There was a heavy anointing for healing as almost every person rushed to the front. Many were slain in the Spirit and many cried out in travail. The spirit of revival began to break out. The Lord told me that He is releasing a new anointing for this season, but we have to learn to be sensitive to the Spirit of God. The Lord will pass by those who won’t humble themselves to enter in. The days of pride and the carnal mind are over. It’s time to enter in to the Spirit of Yah. As the presence intensified, some were crying, some were repenting, some were soaking in the presen

The Time is Now

The Time is Now The atmosphere is charged with warfare right now and we should be feeling it in the Spirit. While one party is pushing socialism and communism, the true patriots are standing up to fight. As the body of Christ, we should be all the more prepared and determined to come against these opposing forces with everything we have. We need to remember that our lives are not our own. In the Early Church, those who renounced Christ so that their lives would be spared were not welcomed back. The Lord is looking for those who are prepared to battle no matter the cost. When Elijah met with the prophets of Baal it became a battle for the nation: God’s true prophet facing the false prophets within the corrupt system. Today’s mainstream media have become those false messengers; they’re the prophets of Baal who have an agenda that only exalts the message of Jezebel. It’s a deadly mixture of governmental intimidation and false religion. This false seed is what births the one world governm

Red Heifer: 3rd and 7th Day

Image
It was two years ago that I had a vision of the red heifer. I was suddenly awakened, and, in my room, I could see a red heifer. It was not a dream; it was an open vision. I could walk around it in my room. I was asking the Lord why He was showing me this, and He said, “You only see the head, don’t you Michael?” At this time, the Lord showed me that the red heifers are on the earth, and that they are getting ready.    Just recently five red heifers have arrived, in secret, in Israel. All of them are ceremonially pure. This all has to do with an important, end time prophecy. It’s a sign of the end times. These red heifers are just a natural sign of God’s spiritual red heifers that are prepared and are ready to be used.    There is a prophecy that there would be ten red heifers sacrificed and that the tenth red heifer would be sacrificed by either the Messiah or Elijah. They are saying that this is the tenth red heifer. This has to do with the waters of purification, which use the ashes
