Who are the 144,000?

 


We recently attended the Reawakening Conference in San Antonio, Texas, and it’s awesome to see so many people waking up to the truth. We’re in a time where many are receptive to what God is doing. The pastors I spoke with are hungry to know more about the Early Church and their end time eschatology. Many can feel that the shift is here and the final move of God is upon us. God is speaking right now, and it’s important that we’re hearing Him. The final harvest is just around the corner. 

 

It’s time to kill those little attitudes because it’s the little foxes that ruin the vine (Sol. 2:15). The 144,000 is not just about those who are sealed in the nature of Christ - it’s also about those who are sealed in the Antichrist. The Early Church taught that we are spiritual Israel. Paul, a Jew himself, said: “For they are not all Israel who are Israel” (Romans 9:6). Paul also taught that the true church are those who are Jews inwardly and not according to the flesh (Romans 2:28-29). The rapture theology goes against this by falsely teaching that the 144,000 are physical Jews that will preach the gospel to win souls after the church is raptured. 

 

Victorinus, Origen, Cyprian and other Early Church fathers teach that the 144,000 do not pertain to physical Jews, but to spiritual Israel, which is the true church. If the church is not prepared for how Christ will return, we’ll miss it like the Jews did two thousand years ago. The Jews knew the Messiah was coming in their time, but they missed the hour of their visitation because they did not understand the spiritual interpretation of the prophecies concerning Him. Jesus said in the parable of the ten virgins that the whole church would be asleep. The remnant church are those who are awakened to spiritual truth, those who hear the voice crying out in the wilderness. 

 

Elijah is the one who comes to seal the remnant. At the same time, there is another sealing, which is the mark of the beast. Some may find this hard to believe but the gematria of “Coronavirus” comes out to 666. The word Corona means a crown and the enemy has been using this as a sign that he is sealing those who belong to him. The sealing of the LORD on the foreheads of the 144,000 are those who are the high priesthood. The high priest wore a crown with the seal YHVH - crowns speak of mindsets. Is God ruling over your thoughts? 

 

The book of Revelation speaks of a fallen angel that comes out of the bottomless pit. This fallen angel is Abaddon, who opens up the abyss. Scripture says that locusts come out of the bottomless pit with the tail of a scorpion (Rev. 9:10). The book of Joel speaks of those locusts as being His people. Those locusts are symbolic of false teachers and the venom that comes from the scorpion speaks of false teachings. The locusts that come out of the bottomless pit are led by Abaddon.

 

Abaddon is a principality whose function is to bring separation and confusion. The Lord showed me five years ago that Abaddon had been released and that America would go through a huge racial divide as that spirit manifested itself. Abaddon wants to keep the church from going behind the veil. He pulls those out who do not want to press into truth and into God’s presence. The apostate church that he leads are those who have fallen away from the truth. 

 

It’s easy to see that the Lord is separating us now. Will you be a wheat or a tare? Our soul will either be married to the truth or to the lie. The revelation of the final move of God is here and that means there is not much time to get ready. Make your choice who you will serve (Joshua 24:15). Amen. 

 

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

The Torah

We have been taught that the final harvest has to do with people, but the Early Church taught that the harvest is actually the fruit in our lives. Understanding what that fruit is and how it is produced by the Torah is the foundation for the final move of God. The Early Church’s understanding of fruit goes against modern day church’s theology. For one, most churches have thrown out the Torah, and instead teach that Jesus did it all at the cross. Fourth century Early Church Father, Eusebius, speaks about those who have done away with the Torah:   “ Some of the heretics simply deny the Law and the Prophets for the sake of their own doctrine . And under the pretense of grace , they have sunk down to the lowest abyss of perdition .”   This proves that the message, “We’re not under the law - we’re under grace” was not part of the Christian faith and was not believed by the Early Church - it is heresy. That is why I thank God for getting me out of that belief system that would’ve taken me st
