We have entered into a time of significant transition—from the Government of Man to the Government of God.
In the summer of 1988 the Lord spoke to me about the coming world revival and the end of the generation of the Sons of Eli.
In 2008, the Lord clearly spoke to me about the death of Ted Kennedy and how his death would mark the beginning of the end of the generation of the sons of Eli. At the same time, we are at the end of the beginning of the worldwide revival. For the past season God has been working on preparing his nameless and faceless army in the hidden place.
To completely understand the season of transition we are in, we need to understand who the sons of Eli were, and what they represent to us today.
The Bible tells us in I Samuel 2:12 that Eli’s son’s were “scoundrels.” We also find that they had developed a system of extortion from the people where they took the best parts of the offerings for themselves (v. 13-16). They had a group of young men who bullied the people coming to Shiloh to worship. In 2:17 it says: “The sin of the young men was very great in the sight of the Lord; for the young men treated the offerings of the Lord with contempt.” We also find that they were having sex with the women who served at the tabernacle (v.22). It is clear that all of this was happening with Eli’s knowledge, and although he does ask his sons to stop their behavior, it is clear a few verses later that Eli was benefiting from their activity. By the time that the boy Samuel had entered the service of the Lord, the ministry in the Tabernacle under the house of Levi had developed into the first “Jewish Mafia.”
We also find in I Samuel 3:3 that the House of Eli was letting the lamp in the Sanctuary go out at night, and they were letting Samuel sleep in the Holy of Holies. It is clear that knowledge of the law had diminished, and that the religion of Israel had become whatever the Levites in charge made of it.
In I Samuel 2: 27-36 we read that God sent a prophet to Eli to warn him, and told him that a great transition was about to take place:
“Therefore the God of Israel declares: I promised that your house, and the house of your father should go in and out before me forever . . . I will cut off your strength, and the strength of your father’s house . . . (2:30-32) And I will raise up for myself a faithful priest, who shall do what is according to what is in my heart and in my mind, and I will build him a sure house, and he shall go in and out before my anointed forever. (2:35)”
There was a promise to the Levites to be the servants and the priesthood of the Lord. The Lord was to be their inheritance. In the second and third chapters of I Samuel we see that the Sons of Eli because of their contempt for the sacrifices, their neglect of the holiness of the temple, and their misuse of the women who served the Lord: would bring an end to promise to the Levites. God was about to raise up a new priesthood.
The end of the House of Eli was the beginning of the transition to the House of David, and his Tabernacle of Praise. This transition would take almost two generations as Samuel and Saul prepared the way for David, the man after God’s heart.
We are now in a similar transition. There are a number of battles that we need to fight as the Lord raises up a generation of Davids to establish his tabernacle of praise in the earth. Israel faced several generations where the priesthood misused its authority, and neglected the Tabernacle and it’s worship. In the end, the House of Eli allowed the Ark of the Covenenant to be taken away by the Philistines in battle. The ark would remain outside the tabernacle for 20 years until David returned it to the center of worship.
We are facing a transition from the dominance of man’s ways over God’s ways. We have had more than 40 years when God’s plan and direction were neglected, when the true worship of God has been neglected, and when the sanctity of life has been neglected. Although there have been many faithful men and women, we are seeing that the decline of culture is reaching a climax. It is clear that God is raising up a new wave of men and women who will lead into the future, who will be the Davids to prepare the way of the Lord. But we are in transition. The future has not come, even while the past is fading.
In the next decades we are going to face wars, and we are going to see some Samuels emerge. Samuel was the anointed transitional figure who would eventually anoint the man after God’s heart—David. But we will also see Sauls arise, men and women who although they are indicating some of the new things God is doing, operate under and in the attitudes and ideas of Eli. Don’t be surprised when men and women appear who are moving in great power, or lead great movements of prayer and worship, but also have obvious elements of the humanism, sensuality, and commerce in their ministries. It will take a generation or two for the next generation, fixed on holiness, dependent on God’s economy, moving in supernatural purity and power to emerge.
Right now there are men and women hidden throughout the earth who have been preparing for this transitional time. They are getting ready for the coming of the kingdom and the return of the King!
The Lord gave me the following word on June 7, 2010:
I am breaking open the stronghold of the media.
The media will be laid bare and the spirit of anti-Christ in it.
There will be increased cracking open in media leaders as the spiritual strongholds that support them begin to give way under the power of prayer.
There has been increased angelic activity as more and more men and women awaken to their call and release the sound of heaven.
This sound is a new sound, and it is much more powerful than the sound of the accuser in the land.
The vibration of heaven is forcing the media to tremble and it’s rigid structure is beginning to crack from within.
I am raising up the voice of truth.
Like light and dark, lies must give way to the truth as truth is released into the atmosphere.
Speak the truth in prayer and in worship.
Declare the truth in the night and in your congregations.
As the truth is released it will begin to shake the atmosphere.
Shifts are continuing all over the United States.
The oil leak is the church’s opportunity.
Pray for the Samuel’s and the David’s to arise as Eli’s house continues to collapse.
There are millions of hidden leaders poised to be released.
In the shift, pray that there will be no power vacuum,
Pray that the hidden leaders would emerge.
Do not look to the world economy, but look to heaven’s economy as the shifts continue to take place.
We have moved into a time when the sound and color of heaven need to be released.
The House of Eli must fall.
This is the house that has reigned for 40 years.
This is the house that disregarded the holiness of my sanctuary and used it for a tent.
This is the house that did not keep my lamp burning, but allowed it to go out.
This is the house that touched my offerings and raped those who brought them.
This house disregarded my law, my order, and my holy place.
They do not worship me, but themselves, and their own image.
Because of this, Eli’s house must fall.
Pray for the Samuels and the Davids.
Pray that they restore my fallen tent.
I do not see power the way man sees power.
The power that will be released will be released through songs, through music,
Through light and color.
Eli gives awards to his troubadours,
But I will give the earth to my Psalmists.
I am about to glorify my people and many will see and fear and put their trust in me.
Turn to me and I can shift apparent outcomes.
There is an answer to every human problem.
Fix your eyes on Plymouth, and what I do there.
I am reversing the curses of many generations.
I am restoring.
Like the pages in a book, I am turning back chapters in America.
Erasing the errors of many generations
And restoring the inheritances of many.
