The Instructors Will Shine Brightly

We have entered a time when those with the true Word of the Lord will "shine brightly like the brightness of the expanse of heaven" (Dan.12:3). The people who truly know God will stand out among all those professing to be Christians. There will be a clear distinction between those who the Lord has filled with His message and those who have not stood in the council of the Lord.

These are the days prophesied by Amos when people are beginning to "go to and fro to seek the word of the Lord...."

Amos 8:11,12 - "'Behold, days are coming,' declares the Lord God, 'When I will send a famine on the land. Not a famine for bread or a thirst for water, but rather for hearing the words of the Lord. And people will stagger from sea to sea, and from the north even to the east; they will go to and fro to seek the word of the Lord, but they will not find it.'"

The Lord is highlighting His true messengers.... His true instructors. These are the believers who have a history with God of "not living by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of the Lord" (Deut.8:3). Only this company will have words of life. In the midst of darkness that will increasingly cover the land, these "instructors" will stand out as the the only light. Signs and wonders will be done by their hands.

Daniel 11:32,33 - "But the people who know their God will display strength and take action. And those who have insight among the people will give understanding to the many..."

I believe the Lord indicated that Isaiah 8:11-22 best describes the period of time we've now entered:

- We are not to fear what is coming upon the world, but we are to fear God!
- Our only place of safety and refuge is in walking and speaking according to the Word of the Lord!
