Amos 6

Amos 6

1 Woe to them that are at ease in Zion, and trust in the mountain of Samaria, which are named chief of the nations, to whom the house of Israel came!
2 Pass ye unto Calneh, and see; and from thence go ye to Hamath the great: then go down to Gath of the Philistines: be they better than these kingdoms? or their border greater than your border?
3 Ye that put far away the evil day, and cause the seat of violence to come near;
4 That lie upon beds of ivory, and stretch themselves upon their couches, and eat the lambs out of the flock, and the calves out of the midst of the stall;
5 That chant to the sound of the viol, and invent to themselves instruments of musick, like David;
6 That drink wine in bowls, and anoint themselves with the chief ointments: but they are not grieved for the affliction of Joseph.
7 Therefore now shall they go captive with the first that go captive, and the banquet of them that stretched themselves shall be removed.
8 The Lord GOD hath sworn by himself, saith the LORD the God of hosts, I abhor the excellency of Jacob, and hate his palaces: therefore will I deliver up the city with all that is therein.
9 And it shall come to pass, if there remain ten men in one house, that they shall die.
10 And a man’s uncle shall take him up, and he that burneth him, to bring out the bones out of the house, and shall say unto him that is by the sides of the house, Is there yet any with thee? and he shall say, No. Then shall he say, Hold thy tongue: for we may not make mention of the name of the LORD.
11 For, behold, the LORD commandeth, and he will smite the great house with breaches, and the little house with clefts.
12 Shall horses run upon the rock? will one plow there with oxen? for ye have turned judgment into gall, and the fruit of righteousness into hemlock:
13 Ye which rejoice in a thing of nought, which say, Have we not taken to us horns by our own strength?
14 But, behold, I will raise up against you a nation, O house of Israel, saith the LORD the God of hosts; and they shall afflict you from the entering in of Hemath unto the river of the wilderness.

Prayer (Pr)

Prayer (Pr)

from chapter 7 the topic: "Prayers Amount to Nothing if There Is Willful Iniquity in the Heart"

“The grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men, teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world.” Christ says: “Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.” What do your prayers amount to while you regard iniquity in your hearts? Unless you make a thorough change, you will, not far hence, become weary of reproof, as did the children of Israel; and, like them, you will apostatize from God. Some of you in words acknowledge reproof, but you do not in heart accept it. You go on the same as before, only being less susceptible to the influence of the Spirit of God, becoming more and more blinded, having less wisdom, less self-control, less moral power, and less zeal and relish for religious exercises; and, unless converted, you will finally yield your hold upon God entirely. You have not made decided changes in your life when reproof has come, because you have not seen and realized your defects of character and the great contrast between your life and the life of Christ. It has been your policy to place yourselves in a position where you would not entirely lose the confidence of your brethren.—(Testimonies for the Church 4:332.) {Pr 67.1; Or 82.1}

(The Books Are Revised and the Heavenly Granary)

Beloved, month 04, day 19, of 2019. In dreams I have been allowed to know that anarchy, within the people who knows, will rise even with more strength. My companion said: “persecution begins at the house.” {Daisy Escalante: 04-19-2019, en.p1}

I saw how many who profess to be the remnant people of GOD, are taking the evil against those who are governed by an It Is Written.  I saw how their looks were different towards us and their angry speech showed their hatred for us. As we praised GOD and searched His Face in humiliation and prayer, I saw how to them the time passed in the same daily routine.  {Daisy Escalante: 04-19-2019, en.p2}

My companion said: “who will be able to stand before the judgment?  The clean of hands: the one who did not harbor bribes in his heart; the one who does not love lies and is separated from evil. In heaven there are Books,” he told me, “and each one of them, the GOD of the harvest, passes its pages revision of each mortal one. There only His finger can write the word ‘forgiveness’ In the Book of Life. There, also, is The Book of Memories, from where names are transferred to The Books of Life and Death. No mortal one will be able to see the movements that are in these Books today, but these are revised with great scrutiny. Human rebellion, the fruit of cherished sin, makes them blind at such a solemn moment, and their eyes, only fixed on the visible world, incapacitates them understanding the glories of the invisible world, but real, that is before us. Remember Thomas, he believed because he saw, but, blessed were those who believed without seeing. Man is emboldened before the Only One who can be his guarantor, and, he himself places the death sentence on his shoulders.” {Daisy Escalante: 04-19-2019, en.p3}

 

At that time, beloved, I was taken to a large barn. This was huge, I could not see where its height ended. I saw how Angels entered and went out of it. When they entered, they carried something in their hands, but, when they left their hands were empty. I saw them leave quickly and they came to a beautiful field of ripe and thickened wheat ears that they collected with promptness, and put them in a sack. When they filled it, they returned to the enormous barn. I was allowed to approach that great —beautiful— field, and I was able to notice that these Angels did not take all the wheat ears. I saw how, of a perimeter of a square foot, they took one wheat ear and left the others. I wondered for myself why they had left those wheat ears if they were identical to the others they had taken. So, I went to the place and touched those wheat ears that looked lush and thickened, when I touched them, these crumbled in my hands and a great wind came and took them away. I could not believe it! They were identical in size, thickness and beauty, but they were empty, there was no fruit in them! {Daisy Escalante: 04-19-2019, en.p4}

I continued observing the work of Those Beautiful Angels. These worked hard, without stopping. While I was observing this, I was taken again in front of the barn that I couldn't see where it ended because of how huge it was. I saw then how more Angels arrived to put their full sacks. My companion said: “Observe.” I saw how this barn was completely filled and there was no more room for another sack. The Angels, that quickly left that place, looked at the beautiful field full of wheat ears, apparently lush and thick. And, while they looked, I saw how a very strong wind hit that beautiful field and all the wheat ears were plucked and I didn’t saw them again. These, the Angels, cried. And I heard them say: “the barn is ready, Sovereign King.” I saw how a bright light illuminated that huge barn; this, shone with an indescribable light that blinded the eye! I then, heard, a voice coming from heaven that said: “it is time.” I asked: “it is time for what?” And my companion replied: “the last phase has arrived before the coming of the Messiah Prince, everything that can be removed will be, and everything that can be saved will be. Be ready and pray to the GOD of the harvest to gather you in His Barn.” {Daisy Escalante: 04-19-2019, en.p5}

I saw, therefore, a great commotion: how humans were invested, by their own decision, by evil spirits or by THE HOLY SPIRIT.  An unprecedented worldwide movement began and every man was tested in extreme. I saw how, those invested with THE HOLY SPIRIT, came out moved by a power coming from on High and, although the evil ones tried to stop them, this was unstoppable. I saw, therefore, another barn coming down from heaven, as huge as the previous one. I saw the movement of Angels again and how they went, everywhere in the world, collecting wheat ears. These, those who were moved by THE HOLY SPIRIT, the evil ones wanted to stop them at all costs, but this was unstoppable! I saw that hell with all its power will fight in vain to try to stop this unstoppable movement. And the evil one roared as when the lion is snatched its prey. He could no longer control, now, those he had previously controlled, and his efforts were in vain.  {Daisy Escalante: 04-19-2019, en.p6}

I saw, therefore, a stop of all movement. And I heard a voice from heaven saying: “The kingdoms of the world have become GOD's and of His kingdom and everything will be newly done.” The voice surrounded the world and all were able to hear. {Daisy Escalante: 04-19-2019, en.p7}

 

At this moment, beloved, when this was happening, I woke up, and I was told: Ezekiel 2: 9-10. May GOD grant that each one of us can be in the LORD's Barn. May the LORD bless you all. {Daisy Escalante: 04-19-2019, en.p8}

(The Tempest Approaches)

Beloved, month 09, day 14, of 2019. In dreams, I saw myself in a place, that place was very crowded it was like a small city. I exhorted them to get out of there, but many laughed and turned their backs on me. Others, a few, began to advance, but step by step, very slow. Only four, of all those who were there, hurried their steps. {Daisy Escalante: 09-14-2019 #01, en.p1}

 We began to leave the plain, we passed among the houses, and we heard a voice that told us: “release the animals.” We released them to be free, because we understood that before everything that was coming, they should seek refuge and fight for their lives.  {Daisy Escalante: 09-14-2019 #01, en.p2}

We continued climbing towards the mountains. I saw that they were mountain ranges, because I saw many mountains that covered a large territory in great length. While we were going up I looked back because I felt a very loud noise. When I looked, I saw how a great storm began to destroy what was in the plain. We ran up and entered caves that we found, and others were holding on to strong trees because the storm was great. Even there, sheltered, we felt fear for our lives in the face of the huge cyclone that was sweeping the plain, but thank GOD the storm did not harm us. Then we looked at the plain and there was nothing left standing. We suffered a lot when we saw this because there were many people we had exhorted, and they did not want to listen to us; and now nothing existed in that place. {Daisy Escalante: 09-14-2019 #01, en.p3}

 

While we were suffering, the dream changed. And, then, I saw myself in a large room. There was a long table. There I saw all kinds of literature from Independent Ministries. I saw of: The Three Angels Message," I only read their titles on the covers. I saw another that said: "Food," another "Death to Self," another "keep the Sabbath as GOD requires," another that said "Dress," another spoke of  "The Sanctuary," another, I read that it said: "the Beast and the System that represents it."  And, thus, each one of the pamphlets had very interesting titles. While I was leafing through them, others came to see these pamphlets. I saw that they were from many years ago, and I took one of each to make a collection of them. While I was compiling the pamphlets, those who looked at me laughed and, others, made fun. But one asked me what I was going to do with them. Then I answered him: “I will read them, and I will see if they are to the Law and to the Testimony.” Then he answered: “oh, well, take this one, and see what you think.” I read its title and it said: “how many gods are there, one, two or three?” I said: “brother, I am not going to take that pamphlet, that is not from GOD.” He looked at me and got angry, and said: “don't you want to know the truth?” I told him: “brother, I already know about this, GOD Himself has revealed it to me. There are three, united in the plan of salvation of the human being: the FATHER, the SON, and THE HOLY SPIRIT. They are not fused into one body, they are three beings, three independent people and there is no discussion in that, that is the Law and the Testimonies.” But he insisted with great harassment and every time he became more aggressive. He got closer to me and I heard a voice that told me: “get away, put down all the pamphlets and get out.” I dropped the pamphlets, and as I left I said: “LORD why, they are your word?” And He answered: “yes, they are very important truths, but they are amalgamated with human opinion. Don't listen to men. I educate My People in these days. I not only see their writings, but I see their hearts and the intentions of the same.” {Daisy Escalante: 09-14-2019 #01, en.p4}

 

A person came to me and put other pamphlets in my hand, and said to me: “save these messages, so that many can hear them, these are whole: to the Law and the Testimony.” She was crying, and I told her: “come with me.” But she looked at me and said: “I must, I must convince them.” I said: “there is no time, it is time to come out, let's go.” But she looked at me, and said: “here is my family.” And she ran towards them. I asked: “LORD, what shall I do with these pamphlets?” He replied: “take them.” I read them on the way. They were only writings of the Bible and the Spirit of Prophecy, there was no more human opinion, only this, there. {Daisy Escalante: 09-14-2019 #01, en.p5}

 

Love was seen in them, peace was seen in them, justice and truth were seen in them. I began to speak the words of these pamphlets.  At that moment I heard a loud noise, it was a strong wind that reached where I was, and when I looked back, I saw that the building from which I had come out was on the ground, and everything was desolate. I was told: “run.”  I ran, I ran, and the order was, “read.”  I read and others joined my running, and we went to the mountains, and after us the storm raged. I said: “LORD, your judgments on them.” He replied: “there was a lot of evidence, they knew, but their indecision, procrastination, their own convenience and their pride did not let them advance. They condemned themselves.” I wept bitterly! The impression was strong, very strong for me, because everyone who was left behind disappeared. Nothing was left, everything was left desolate! {Daisy Escalante: 09-14-2019 #01, en.p6}

 

At that moment I was told: “read Jeremiah 4.”  While I was looking for Jeremiah 4, beloved brothers, at that moment I was told also another text: “Revelation 4: 8.”  May GOD grant that we can understand, that we can be able to advance, and that we can do the will of the LORD. May the LORD bless you all! {Daisy Escalante: 09-14-2019 #01, en.p7}

(Don't Waste the Opportunity)

Month 5, day 1, of 2020. In dreams, I saw how many people asked, in supplication, to be given an apartment in a residential area. They asked for food and for their life to be organized. I saw that indolence, bad decisions and negligence had done this: that people desire to live in this place, because everything essential was provided there: shelter, sustenance and cover. This created so much negligence, conformity, like a numbness, in which years went by —on this—. And I was allowed to know that a new culminating stage, began in 2003, and now it was 2020. And their dependently static life of: getting up, eating and sleeping, made them so inactive that their mind got clouded and they were not able to see the door of opportunity. They were invalids, mentally ill. {Daisy Escalante: 05-01-2020 #01, en.p1}

I said: “Oh LORD! Why are you telling me this? He replied: “there are many people who know about ME in these places, and they live very numb. But I have directed a warning that will shake them, to see if they can be freed.’ I said: “Holy, Holy, my GOD! Slow to anger and great in mercy and truth! Thank you for Your Mercies!" {Daisy Escalante: 05-01-2020 #01, en.p2}

At that moment, beloved, there I woke up. Praying and crying out so that these do not waste the opportunity that GOD grants them. May GOD grant that it be so. It is my request and prayer. May the LORD bless us all. {Daisy Escalante: 05-01-2020 #01, en.p3}

(Divine Operations) *

Month 01 on the calendar of the ETERNAL, month 04 day 16 of 2022. I have been moved by the Holy Spirit to speak these words to the people of God in this hour: "The ETERNAL desires, He longs for His thoughts to be in our thoughts and for our operations to be His operations. Thus He will begin a constant and real transformation in each one of us. For this reason He has given us the extensive study, an intensive study, on this, on this Feast of Him and His people. Therein lie the keys to victory over the snares of the enemy." Let us pay close attention to this, so that we may be victorious in Christ Jesus. Let us praise Him for His mercies! May we all, in this hour and forever, be blessed in Him. May the Lord bless us! {Daisy Escalante: 04-16-2022 , en.p1}
