Night Vision of the Seven Church Age
Messengers
Very early
on Saturday morning, April 15th, Pastor Shelley had a
3-hour dream that was so real that he feels it was a
vision in the night. He saw the seven
church age messengers (Rev. 1:20) sitting around a
table. One by one, they took
turns drawing him aside to talk with him
privately. He could even feel each one put his
hand in the small of his back as they walked to a corner
of the room.
Both the
noted theologian, Clarence Larkin, and William Branham
had received revelations about these seven church age
messengers. Pastor Shelley saw Paul,
Ireneaus, Martin, Columba, Martin Luther, John Wesley,
and William Branham in this
experience. And each was dressed
in the costume of his day.
The messengers each shared with Pastor
Shelley about the difficulty of facing great
rejection in their lives because of the various
revelations that they were given. For
example, Paul said that he almost went back to his
former life as an ordinary Orthodox Jew, denying
that Y'shua was the Messiah, because of the rejection
that he suffered.
But each one also spoke
about the miracle of the
overcoming anointing. They each shared
what kind of an anointing it took to overcome in their
church age and how God had given it to them when they
needed it most.
Bro.
Branham used to preach that the evil of every age was
being gathered together and released into this
current age of Laodicea. He mentioned that again
to Pastor Shelley in this night vision, but added a
wonderful revelation. He said that every portion
of the Lord's anointing and glory that it took to
overcome in each church age was being gathered together
into one great measure. This great measure
of overcoming anointing is going to be released very
soon upon all those who have eyes to see and ears to
hear.
There were
more details that Pastor Shelley shared and even more
that he will share at a later time. I plan
to share more in future updates, God willing.
As wonderful as this divine experience was, Pastor
Shelley did not feel that it was the fulfillment of the
promised appointment. But he sensed that it was
leading up to the awaited visitation.
Fulfillment of the Promise
About two
weeks later, after spending his birthday (April
28) in Jerusalem for the first time, Pastor Shelley
retired for the night and had an unusual and
awesome divine experience. He was
suddenly awakened to see a very, very large angel
standing at the foot of his bed. When he
reached over to try and arouse his wife, his arm
became paralyzed and he was unable to touch
her. Then he
looked up and saw the white bedroom
ceiling disappear as well as the
roof. Only the night sky was overhead
with the stars shining.
Then he was moved out of the bed and up
into the air in a very unusual way - like
flying. He was still wide awake and could
see our neighborhood with its shops as he was being
lifted higher and higher. Suddenly
he came to a beautiful ladder with angels
ascending and descending on it. The
ladder was suspended somewhere between the old
city of Jerusalem and the new city. He
joined the line of ascending angels and effortlessly
climbed the ladder.
Pastor
Shelley then came to a realm of heaven where classes
were being held. A multitude of angels
were being taught by mortal men from past church
ages that had gone into the Presence of the
Lord. They were teaching these angels
about the difficulty of life on the earth and the
importance of the overcoming anointing.
He was told by an angel that the overcomers from
past ages were preparing the angels for what is
ahead. These angels were being given instructions of
where to go and what needed to be done. They were
to bring breakthroughs, miracles, deliverances,
etc.
One of the
special purposes of these coming angels will be to
announce destiny. They will reveal to each
believer the fullness of his own destiny and will
instruct each one as to what should be his
next step.
Then the
Lord took him even higher to see some other things that
were going on before the Throne. Heaven
was very busy and full of activity with angels bustling
all around. He sensed that similarly a
great busyness was about to take place on the earth
spiritually.
Pastor Shelley went on into the Presence
of the Lord and saw the Four Living
Creatures. But he has not yet shared that
part of his experience.
