The Day The Lamb Becomes The Lion

Copyright 2009 All Rights Reserved"These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, chosen, and faithful" (Rev 17:14).
The war against the Lamb is presently directed at those who are the followers of the Lamb. They are identified as those who are called, chosen, and faithful.
Not everyone who claims to be among this holy group are indeed among them. There are tares still among the wheat and the times will manifest them.
The day Jesus rises off his heavenly throne is the day grace ends. It is the day of his judgment, his wrath, and his vengeance. It is a time signaled by an angel with one foot on the land and one foot in the water (Rev 10:6-7); time or delay shall be no longer.
This moment, this great time which no man knoweth the day or the hour, is called the Day of the Lord. It is the day Jesus becomes the manifested Lion of the tribe of Judah.
This is the moment and day Jesus takes his shepherd staff of iron and steps forth to crush the nations who have rejected the grace of God, Acts 2:38 salvation, holiness, and who turned against the saints to persecute, imprison, and put them to death.
The day of the Lord is the same in prophecy as the day of judgment and vengeance. It is the day of reckoning for all those who opposed and caused harm and loss to the saints. It is the time when Jesus will fulfill his words: "vengeance is mine, I will repay saith the Lord" (Romans 12:19).
Those who think they can pervert, corrupt, and fight against the endtime Men of God and the endtime saints have a day of reckoning coming. That is why, it is better to hang a millstone around your neck and jump into the sea then to reproach and mistreat the children of God. The day of reckoning is coming. Wait for it, it will not fail, it will come.
The Day Of The Lord:
The day of the Lord is called the day of destruction (Isa 13:6);
The day of wrath and fierce anger (Isa 13:9);
The day of vengeance against adversaries: will include a great slaughter near the river Euphrates (Jer 46:10; see also Rev 16:14);
The day is to be a cloudy one (Ezek 30:3);
A day of destruction (Joel 1:15);
There will be great trembling in Israel on the day of the Lord (Joel 2:1);
On the day of the Lord, the Lord will utter his voice (Joel 2:11; see also 1Thes 4:16);
The day of the Lord will be against multitudes in the valley of decision (Joel 3:14); the valley of decision is the place where men will make their last stand against God and choose to fight against Jesus when he comes. This is also referred to as the battle of Armageddon (Rev 16:14);
The day of the Lord is a day of great darkness (Amos 5:18; see also Isa 13:10 and Matt 24:29);
The day of the Lord will be upon the heathen (Obad 1:15): by heathen here is meant those who do not worship God, who are unconverted, and who have refused to be saved;
The day of the Lord is dreadful and great, when Elijeh the prophet shall appear: (Jews look for him at each Passvoer believing when he comes he will restore them to God, and give them advice for protection until the day Messieh brings their redemption (Mal 4:5);
Paul spoke of his rejoicing and the rejoicing of the saints on the day of the Lord (2Cor 1:14);
Paul tells us the day of the Lord comes as a thief in the night (1Thes 5:1): unexpected, unanounced, without warning, while many feel secure and are spiritually asleep, when many have not prepared themselves, and when a great falling away has occured.
1.) Unprepared for God's wrath;
2.) Unprepared for God's fierce anger (seals, trumpets, vials);
3.) Unprepared for judgment;
4.) Unprepared for the time of great tribulation and darkness;
5.) Unprepared for the dreadful fear to grip the hearts of all nations;
6.) Unprepared for any signs of the times;
7.) Unprepared for the destruction they will see upon the earth;
8.) Unprepared because they are the heathens who refuse to be converted according to Acts 2:38 and to holiness and God's righteousness;
9.) Unprepared for the sudden coming of Jesus when he descends with a shout;
10.) Unprepared for the day of the rapture and wrath in the valley of decision;The day of the Lord comes at the last of the seven trumpets (the last trump) at the end of a time span during which the nations have been called to repent and turn to God and be saved. New Testament salvation is an eschatological message and offer of grace (Acts 2:38). This is why Acts 2:38 begins on the birthday of the Church and ends on the day of the Lord at his coming.
A person who accepts the grace of God as offered in Acts 2:38 must also accept the Post-Trib Truth that this grace salvation is their exemption from the future wrath on the day of the Lord. The annual Passover of true believers on the true day is a celebration of our hope and faith in the finished work of Calvary that will preserve us to the day of the Lord and his appearing.
Post-Tribulation Coming Is The Day Of The Lord:
There is no Preterist, Pre-trib, Mid-trib, rapture prior to the future coming day of the Lord. Jesus comes one time in the endtime and this is after the tribulation of those days which is the time of the first resurrection at the day of the Lord. The day of resurrection is the same day Jesus descends with a shout, and the same day those who are alive and remain will be caught up (raptured) to meet the Lord in the air.
This is the hour the rod of iron comes crashing down on all the nations who know not God and who have rejected the salvation of Jesus Messieh. We expect all religions to be represented at the battle of Armageddon (upon the one-world family of nations): Antichrist Judaism, Islam, Trinitarian Christianity, Hinduism, Buddhism, and all other religions that reject Jesus as the Son of God and as the Messieh of Israel.
Because of the suffering upon the saints, their persecution, the abuse and torture, the butchering methods of death (even cutting off heads see Rev 20:4): the day of vengeance has come. Look at this ungodly world and their conduct at the death of the two prophets in Jerusalem in Rev 11:10. The world will rejoice at their deaths and send each other presents. This kind of insanity will demand judgment from God and it will come. The day of reckoning will come. The day the whole world will answer to God for their hate, bigotry, and their anger. The day of reckoning will come, it will not be delayed, it will not be postponed, and there is no repentance from any nation that can stop it. It is coming. The world will deserve Jesus coming with his rod of iron and his judgment to execute the death penalty upon those who executed the death penalty upon his saints. There is no shame therefore when it is prophesied that Jesus will demand of the nations those who refused that he should rule over them, and he puts them to death (see Luke 19:27).
The day of grace and mercy has ended. The day of the fierce wrath of God has come.
The enemies of God will be many. The endtime false prophets will not escape. The false teachers will not escape. The novices who lift themselves up in pride and who fall into the condemnation of the devil will not escape. Those who shed the blood of the saints shall not escape. Those who spread hate, bigotry, lies, deception, perversion, and who come in like lambs when they are grevious wolves: these shall not escape. Those who betrayed the saints to be arrested, put in prison, and even put to death will not escape. Those who turn against fathers, mothers, sons, daughters, and other relatives shall not escape. Those who do not preach and teach holiness standards that will present the Church without spot, wrinkle, blemish, or any such thing will not escape. Judgment will begin in the house of God and this means a building. And, if the righteous scarcely be saved where will the ungodly and the sinner appear? They will not escape.
Things to expect before the day of the Lord:
1.) Iniquity shall abound because men and women will not see sin as sin and approve and allow sin and call this holiness (2Tim 3:5).
2.) Men and women will reject pastorial authority and demand to rule the Church and doctrine with collegial "elders" in control.
3.) All or most of doctrine, faith, practice, conduct, and order will be perverted, corrupted, and in its place something man-made that appears is Truth but in fact is false.
4.) Spiritual wars within and without the Church where the members become victims of wolves trying to destroy and tear down.
5.) Ecumenicalism, where there is unity without doctrinal agreement.
6.) Common purpose movements where doctrine is set aside and fellowship or unity is achieved by agreeing on a common purpose which both religious groups espouse.
7.) A total caotic mass of women and men doing their own thing without scriptural training and ordination. Calling themselves Apostles, Bishops, Pastors, Deacons: even with false ordinations upon them by men not qualified to ordain in the first place.
8.) Spreading of hate and bigotry against Men of God who dare stand up and declare the full counsel of God.
9.) A loss of Biblical moral values which will lead to the acceptance of homsexuality, lesbianism, and other sexual perversions.
10.) The breakdown in family by sexual apostasy leading to adultery, fornication, and divorce.
11.) The party spirit of eating and drinking, where even Churches will start teaching it is ok to drink wine, beer, and other alcohol substances with their meals and fellowship dinners.The endtime Ministry:
The endtime ministry will first be humble and strive to bring glory to the Kingdom and to the Lord Jesus.
The endtime ministry will seek to work in unity of the faith where together we can do more to win souls.
The endtime ministry will arise in each nation among men God has prepared for the hour. They will receive Truth and stand for holiness and the Acts 2:38 grace salvation message.
The endtime ministry will receive and accept Truth that is preached and written by proven and ordained men of God.
The endtime ministry will act independently of all other Churches and Pastors yet receive all who are of good report and who have not been the cause of Church splits, insubordination, and rebellion against a Pastor.
The endtime ministry has a calling, one that will manifest itself because it stands for the Israel of God and the Messianic Judaism of Jesus. Anyone or group that opposes this will be manifest as false and should not be fellowshipped.
The endtime ministry will prepare the saints for the day of the Lord. This is the chief aim and purpose of these great men whom the Lord will raise up in the last day.
The endtime ministry will understand the eschatological importance of Acts 2:38 and every doctrine we teach and hold.If you desire to be one of the called, the chosen, the faithful, please let me assist you. I desire to be your friend. I am set for the defense of this day of the Lord message. I am a man who loves and gives glory to the Kingdom, the Church, and to its Lord, Jesus Messieh.
You do not need to be under the ministry of Pastor Reckart to be an endtime Minister of God. But, you cannot reject the teachings of Pastor Reckart and be an endtime Man of God. If you want to be ordained by a proven Man of God, who has been called, chosen and faithful, by holy hands, and be charged to preach only the Truth: you may request Pastor Reckart interview you and see if you qualify for such a great honor.
Now, if you are an enemy, I will pray for you. That is all I can do and all I am required to do. And if you do not repent and line up with the Truth, on the day of the Lord you will share the wrath and judgment of God with all the other wicked.
The Day The Lamb Becomes The Lion, is the day of the Lord.
The anointing of the Lord has been strong upon me before I awoke this morning. I had a vision last night that the enemies of the Lord were defeated. I saw the enemies being beaten with a rod of iron and they were fleeing. It was awesome. I awoke this morning with the day of the Lord deeply in my mind. I was urged in the Spirit to sit down this morning and write about the day of the Lord.
