The Lion of the Tribe of Judah
By: Nita Johnson
On the "Feast of Trumpets" this year The Lion of the Tribe of Judah appeared to me sitting upon a golden throne and spoke to me about the coming year. It is the second year that He has appeared to me for the Feast of Trumpets, and to give me a message for the Church for the opening of a new year. Unlike the previous year when He came to me this year He was wearing a royal blue robe which had upon it precious stones. A golden crown was upon His head, bearing the twelve stones of the twelve tribes of Israel on the 12 peaks. This is the second time in the last few months that He has come to me in this manner, but His message this time around was quite different. The blue robe speaks of the spirit of revelation. The golden crown with 12 peaks depicts the release of the anointing for government. And the 12 stones speak of increase of the new birth among the twelve sons of Israel, through many trials. The precious stones upon His robe were indicative of precious kingdom truths that have been selected to be poured out beginning this year. Further the golden throne speaks of the coronation of the King of kings in His Church, or a new submission to His government and glory soon to occur. Finally, when we see the King in this manner it is strongly speaking of the final preparation of His Church for war. And in this case, it also speaks of preparation of His people Israel for eminent war. (We will speak more on this in an article about war in Israel.) So, Messiah is coming to His church that He might be in His Church and flow through His Church to a lost and dying world.
When He appeared the Scripture came to me:
"Surely the Yahveh Elohim will do nothing but He revealeth His secret unto His
servants, the prophets. The lion roared, who will not fear? The Yahveh Elohim hath spoken who can but prophecy? (Amos 3:7 & 8) Also: 0 Yahveh, I have heard Thy speech, and was afraid: 0 Yahveh, revive Thy work in the midst of the years, in the midst of the years make known, in wrath remember mercy. Elohim came from Teman, and the Holy One from mountain Paran. Selah. His glory covered the heavens, and the earth was full of His praise. (Hab. 2: 2&3)
I immediately trembled within myself as I always do when I am in the presence of this mighty
Judge of all the earth. By the Scriptures that immediately came to mind, I knew that He would speak to me about judgement and a renewal of His glorious power. I would like to share with you briefly what He spoke.
1. Pertaining to the continuing judgements of the Yahveh around the world: We will, in fact have already begun to see, killer hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes, fires, drought, severe snow storms, pelting rains causing much damage and destruction; and floods. Further, there will be economic shaking, judgement on the unrighteous and revealing of sins in high places worldwide, in the Church first, then in the world.
2. The Yahveh is going to do something for His Church however; a new strength is going to begin to be experienced in the hearts of many. I am not saying pressures are going to be released so much as grace to bear up in strength and faith is going to increase. For some that have been in the press of Elohim's purging hand for a long time, there will soon come some wonderful releases.
3. He is going to release some vessels of gold from their fiery furnace in this next year. (Job 23:10) Also, according to Is. 60:17 He is going to take some from the stage of wood and make them vessels of brass. From brass He is going to make them vessels of silver, and from silver to gold.
The refining process, regardless of the level of maturity a person is in is extremely difficult to bear through. To see our personal wretchedness is painful. To know that we have failed in the fire when we want to do it right can be extremely distressing. Many will not allow Yeshua's dealings in their life for these very reasons. For those who do and desire to move on into greater levels of maturity, the Yahveh has heard your prayers and there is a graduation of sorts in the wings.
4. The Yahveh reminded me of four visions I have seen in the past. In one vision I saw flood waters break through the living room window against the family. In three visions I saw revival come to the children. I wasn't sure why He brought this to my attention until I received a call from my friend Bonnie who also operates under a prophet's mantel. We will share her dream with you as well as what the Yahveh has spoken to me. It all ties together.
5. The prophetic voice of warning to turn from sin and the warning of judgments is going to be greatly increased this year, both in quantity of messengers and quality of anointing and message.
6. Prayer, that is the spirit of supplication, is going to begin to be released and will escalate in a noticeable way beginning in the year 2000.
7. Increased terrorism in various parts of the world including America and Israel will occur.
8. Intensified pressures will create great stresses against the Christian. We will have to get and stay strong in the Yahveh learning to walk real close to Him or the pressure will have a negative effect. We will be learning the art of thankfulness in the midst of trials. My dear brothers and sisters I do not say this in a light manner. I am most familiar with suffering. I know this friend well. I also know that life without it leaves a very shallow person and a very shallow walk with our Messiah. Learning to be thankful is wisdom and becomes a wine that gives all things a much better flavor in the end. (Phil. 1:28 & 29; Rom. 8:17 &18)
The Four Faces OF THE Cherubim
9. I saw that the Four Faces of the Cherubim would come forth this year in the following manner: (Ezkekiel chapter one.)
The Eagle represents the prophets and prophetic vision. Upon this office will come a higher anointing than in previous years, for those who have been prepared for it. Take note that I said, higher not necessarily greater in amount although that is bound to occur as well. The higher anointing will be revealed through higher revelational understanding of Yeshua, His kingdom, and His plans and purposes in the earth. Many who are now ready for it will begin to be anointed with the seven Spirits of Elohim recorded in is. II. We will have a separate article on this subject.
The Lion depicts the greater authority which is soon to be released first upon the five-fold ministry; particularly the prophets and apostles. It will also be given to seasoned intercessors. Also upon the seeking Christian who is not necessarily in ministry but is actively involved in becoming separated unto Yahveh.
The Man represents the supernatural maturing of the remnant through implosions of glory, which is set apart only for those who are making themselves ready to receive such ministry. This will be the beginning of the realization of the man-child. We may or may not be able to readily recognize the recipients this year, as the Yahveh will purposefully leave them hidden until the appointed time. The preparation process includes daily prayer, study of Elohim's Word, obedience and purification from the things of the world.
The Ox is indicative of a greater release of the power gifts that Yahveh has ordained for this year. More leaders will be flowing in this. Some leaders will be granted greater anointing upon the gifts in which they are currently flowing. Also, many lay Christians will begin to flow in the power gifts as they step out in faith.
The Seven Spirits of Elohim
10. I saw seven doves coming out of the sun flying down to earth upon prophets for whom they had been prepared. I knew these seven doves were the seven Spirits of Yahveh. The sun from which they were emerging was indeed the Father. (Mt. 3:16; Is. 11:2-6)
I saw seven rams horns being blown by seven men in a service being conducted by one of the prophets. Immediately revival fell and the seven spirits of Elohim rushed down upon the meeting. (This is not a message to get seven men to blow seven ram's horns. For, I am not sure whether these were real men or angels.) (Rev. 1:10:8:2)
About the Gift
In 1989 I was in prayer over the passage of Scripture found in Is. 11:2-6. I was praying that Yahveh (the Father) would grant to me the mantle I was calling the Kingdom yoke and was indicative of the seven Spirits of Elohim. I yearned to walk in this level of obedience, knowledge, wisdom, understanding and the fear of the Yahveh, etc. While I was thus praying, Yahshua (Jesus) appeared to me, and told me to walk over and stand by Him. I obeyed and as I did, a double yoke bar the likes of which would fit on two heads of oxen appeared upon His shoulders and extended to fit snugly upon mine. By this means I became double yoked with my Messiah. As this double yoking occurred all my human passions went down, down, down and out my feet. It was a little like filling a container then pulling out a plug from the bottom to let the contents out. I was emptied of self. Then everything that was going on inside Messiah began to fill me. His wisdom, His understanding, His knowledge, His fear of the Yahveh, His meekness, His gentleness, etc.
Then He looked at me and told me that what I was experiencing was the Kingdom government as depicted in Is. 11:2-6 &. Mt. II: 28-30.
I was no longer thinking thoughts about Yeshua as I had done from my new birth. Rather, He was thinking through me. He had virtually come to dwell inside my soul and my mind. Not only was He dwelling inside my spirit which He had done from the day that I embraced Him as my Messiah, but now my sin nature was gone, and He was filling my soul, heart and mind as well.
He spoke many things to me, and revealed many things that I don't have space to share here. The important thing was that I was experiencing the impartation of the seven Spirits of Elohim. I later came to understand that what I had experienced was actually the highest level of this mantle. While in Australia this past year, I received a gift box. It came straight down from heaven and as I stretched forth my hand to receive it, it landed upon my hand and a mantle was imparted. It was a deep mantle, which carried much weight. I asked the Yahveh what it was that I had just received. He answered me saying: "It is the seven Spirits of Elohim." So, I received the mantle in measure, albeit, not to the fullness I would eventually have.
The mantle consists of the Spirit of the Yahveh, the Spirit of wisdom, knowledge, understanding, the Spirit of counsel and might, and the obedient fear of the Yahveh. Inherent in this mantle is meekness, humility, gentleness and the power to give the soul rest in Yahveh.
As I stood before my Yahveh that day, I knew a meekness and humility that was simply and only divine. I knew no fear, only the fear of the Yahveh. Even if my life were in critical danger, I knew no fear. I only wanted to be in the perfect will of my Father and I had the faith to do it. It did not matter what it cost me in the least. Obedience was my only desire. Shaul (Paul) speaks of this when he tells us that we acquired through Messiah, the Spirit of obedience.
Inherent in this mantle is the wisdom needed to see Yahveh's kingdom. This means visitations from Himself and His angelic messengers, as well as trips to heaven. Also, it gives the knowledge of Elohim and His plans and purposes, as well as the understanding on how to apply it. The Spirit of counsel is that which allows your eyes to see beyond the natural and into the heart to discern the secrets of men's hearts. Elisha operated in this when he could discern what the king of Syria who was Israel's enemy would do before he would perform it. (II Kings 6:8) Again, wisdom and understanding give you the ability to know what to do with the information you have just gained. The Spirit of Might gives the bearer the superhuman energy to do the will of the Yahveh. Shaul spoke about this in Phil. 4:13 Amp. Also, we see it in Elijah when he outran the king's chariots.
I think you can see in these very brief descriptions that this mantle would be of an extreme value to the body of Christ and to the individual bearer. Well this is what is coming to the Church, albeit only in its infancy, I believe some time next year.
Israel and War
II. I had a vision of war in the Mediterranean. Bombs were being dropped upon Israel from war jets flying over head. They were coming right across the bay of the Mediterranean. Just prior to seeing these fighter jets, I saw a sign in the heavens. The sign was identical to what I had seen in Orange Beach last July. It was an eye that turned into a perfect numerical three. The eye was indicative of the providence of Elohim's timetable. The three I initially felt was three years. If we can avert war in Israel this fall, which I think we have through prayer, I feel we will not see war for at least three years, if I understand what I saw correctly.
I was taken into extraordinary intercession for Israel during the week of "Trumpets". What came out of my innermost being was the petition that Yahveh would cleanse the land of the spilling of innocent blood through His chastisements and in mercy give my people three more years to repent before war would come. I believe He answered that prayer.
At this point in time I am giving you the vision and my interpretation of it. If it turns out that He reveals to me that my interpretation is wrong, I will let you know.
The Children of North America
12. I received a vision several years ago and recently the Yahveh reminded me of it. In this vision flood waters as though a dam had broken burst through the living room window. A couple of weeks later while I was pondering the contents of this newsletter, I received a call from my dear friend Bonnie, who carries the mantle of the prophet upon her life. In the course of the conversation she shared a dream that she had the night before. I then realized why the Yahveh had quickened that vision back to me on the "Feast of Trumpets." I have asked her to share it with you.
Bonnie's Dream
Children in Desperation of Hope
On October 1, 1999 I had a dream which I feel needs to be shared with the body of believers in Christ. Are our young, elementary age school children desperate and without hope? In the dream I had, they were. And they are in need of prayer from us, as well as verbal words of hope found in our Yahveh. They need to be won to Christ; this is their only hope. Their hearts are more open than you imagine.
This is how the dream went: The rivers were flooding, and busses half full of young, (grades 1-3), school children were trying to cross one of the rivers. Other vehicles were stuck in the flood-waters, unable to move. As the buses tried to cross over, they were whipped around. Some were being broken up, others were being washed away, and some were crashing into other wreckage.
The scene changed and I was walking down a short hall in a school. I saw a horrible sight. Several ropes extended from the ceiling, spaced about four feet apart. On the end of each rope was a child in a noose. There were at least eight hanging from the ceiling that I could see. The children were not dead yet, but wanted to die, and soon would. Some of their faces were darkened from lack of oxygen. One teacher realized they were still alive and said to a child, "Do you want me to let you down and go?" "No! They demanded. Leave us alone, we want to die." The teachers were letting the children do as they wished. They didn't have any say in the matter. The children were in charge of what happened to them, not the teachers, So, she had no choice but to walk away. As she left, she was angry with the children, because she felt hopeless herself. She turned around and left saying "Fine, do what you want!" And was going to leave it at that. I started to walk away too, then I thought, "Why not offer them hope in Yahshua?" So I turned back to one little girl who was hanging there, and I said, "Honey, when you die would you like to go to Heaven, and be with Yahshua?" "Oh yes!" was her immediate reply. So I led her to the Yahveh in prayer. At the end of my prayer, there was new hope in her heart and she began to pray, "Please help me know the truth from Your Word." I put my hand over her heart and prayed softly in tongues. I had no fear of being removed from the school. Things were such a chaotic mess. There was no order anywhere, and they were all looking for some hope from somewhere.
We must rise up and be strong, not intimidated. It's the lack of the Bible in our public schools that has promoted this hopelessness in our young children. And when the floodwaters of terror sweep into the schools in a deeper way, the only thing these children have heard is on music that says kill yourself and be free. What a deception! They need the Bible-their only hope.
One of the teachers saw what a change had come over the little girl after I led her to the Yahveh and she said to me, "Will you come in here and pray for this whole group of children?" "Sure," I said. As I was making my way into the room, a teacher stood before the group of children and led them in a prayer. It went like this, "Yahshua, come into my heart. Dah, dah, dah, dah, dah." She said it in a poem-like fashion. It had absolutely no meaning, and then the children were dismissed from the room before I had a chance to really pray with them. It was so dishearten-ing. They left with the same despondency they had entered with.
I walked into yet another room where there were children sitting on a bench along the wall. Many had taken poison in the attempt to die. And now they were throwing up the yellow stuff on a napkin, it tore my heart up, seeing the little ones that Yahshua had said were to come to Him (Luke 18:16), so full of hopelessness, and yet so very, very open if somebody would just stop and tell them of the Word of Life.
The thing to do is pray, be led and be bold. Our children need you. Children are in need of guidance. If we step back, somebody else will lead them. It must not be the wrong leaders.
We have a responsibility. Bormie Daughenbaugh
###
In light of the gravity of this dream, I want to share some encouragement. I have had several visions over the years of revival among the children and the youth. I have seen concerts wherein many children were in the process of answering an altar call to give their souls to Satan when suddenly the Spirit of Elohim transported youths into the concert. They were set down right on the stage where they preached a salvation message. Because of the astounding way the youths arrived on the scene the young people were ready to listen, and all those who were going to give their lives to Satan, accepted Messiah instead.
In other visions I have seen the Ruach HaKodesh (Holy Spirit) suddenly fall upon a whole classroom of children. All the children went down under the power. Many were tal<.en for visits to heaven, others received angelic visitations, still others visions of hell and or spiritual things. As they began to arise, counts were taken. Many had accepted the Yahveh; still more received the baptism of the Ruach HaKodesh. No one left without Messiah in his or her heart.
Because of the flood of terrorism that is going to sweep through the schools, the scenes Bonnie saw will happen. But, if the Church will pray, children will come to the Yahveh by the millions in that day instead of hopelessly killing themselves. Mass death or revival. It depends on our prayers for the children and teachers in the public school system.
Well this concludes the section on the "Shofar" for this year.

Coming Events
Seeing through Yahveh's eyes.
1. I received a vision on the eve of the Day of Atonement. In this vision, Bob Jones appeared to me and said the Yahveh is going to rewire our brains, then He is going to fill us with His own love.
He was speaking of the Church. What is the rewiring of our brains? It is simply Yahveh giving us the ability to see things through His eyes. This is a must if we are to walk in His pure and undefiled love in any measure. (Col. 3:14; Eph. 3:16-21)
Catholic Church-Future Revealed
2. I saw in a vision the future plans of the Catholic Church. Although we are quite aware that in many countries the literal worship of idols is common under the auspices of the Catholic faith, in this country they try to keep it fairly clean. But, what I saw in the vision was the whole structure of the Catholic Church. It looked like a veritable city, and it was underground. Suddenly a huge steam shovel appeared and began to tear away at the topsoil revealing the underground Church. I found the more that was revealed of this city, if you will, the more fear came upon me. It was as though its exposure was going to mean the death of many people.
The Catholic Church is going to be unearthed as the occultic entity that it is. As it will be completely immeshed in the one world religion that will come front and center, it will be responsible for the persecution and even martyrdom of many saints in the years ahead.
Nuclear Power Plant Target Area
3. In a dream, I was siting in a chair in a living room writing on my manuscript. Another prophet was siting on the sofa across from me. He reached over and said:
"That is going to be a good book, let me write a chapter in it." I know just the thing it needs. So, I let him. After reading what he wrote I agreed with him, it was just the thing my book needed. Then he asked me: "Did you hear about the nuclear power plant that is going in around Pismo Beach, California?" I answered him: "Yes, actually, I heard about it just this morning. I have long wondered what could happen to cause an earthquake of the magnitude that I saw sweep up the West Coast. When I heard about the power plant I thought, what would happen if a nuclear bomb hit that thing?" The man sitting across from me said: "My thoughts exactly. It would set off an earthquake of the magnitude you have seen."
I later phoned some friends in the Pismo Beach area to see if there was an existing nuclear power plant or if one was being constructed. I learned that there is in fact one that is operative about 15 minutes from city center. Another one is being built which is considerably more powerful than the existing one about 25 minutes from city center. When war comes to America, which it will, those nuclear power plants will be one of the targeted areas, as I am sure many others will be. When these two are hit back to back a massive earthquake will rock the West Coast.
Your Friend, Nita
This is a 1999 prophetic release, but may not to be completely fulfilled by the end of the year 2000. It is simply a guidepost for what Yahveh is doing in the earth.
War in America
By: Nita Johnson
One night in June the Yahveh kept me awake. Past midnight, I decided He must have something to say that I am not hearing. So I decided to ask Him what else was on His mind.
He began to show me a series of visions. I saw visions of young children, two and three years old. He would then say these will never have the chance to grow and go to learn about Me. Their mommies and daddies will never have the chance to hold them in their laps because they will die during war. The next vision was of 5 & 6 year olds. Yeshua then began to explain how these would never reach their teen years, never have time to enjoy the growing up process, and learn to walk with Him, because they will be killed in war. I saw many visions of many age groups all the way up to the age of grandparents who would never be able to hold their little grandchildren in their arms because they would be killed in war. I wept through each vision and wept for nearly two hours pleading with the Yahveh to please give us one more year from the Day of Atonement to bring repentance. Before I finished, I knew He had given us another year. By the Feast of Trumpets I felt that He had given us another three years.
There has been a level of repentance that has touched His heart. It is for this reason that we have been given a reprieve. So, please continue in your prayers for this country's repentance, and for our Fathers mercy.

"Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man." (Luke 21:36)
Jesus is coming soon. Seek the Lord while it is still light, for the darkness is coming where no one may seek Him.
Even so, come quickly, Lord Jesus.
``Watch and pray, therefore, that you would be counted worthy to escape the judgment that is coming upon the earth and be able to stand before the Son of Man'' (Luke 21:36).
