A Prophetic vision and prophecy

for 2010 and beyond

And he was afraid and said, “How awesome is this

place! This is none other than the house of God,
and it is the gate of heaven!” (Genesis 28:17).

Early December 2009, while waiting on the Lord, I

asked God what 2010 will hold in for the body of
Christ in the earth. Then I saw a vision of a
beautiful farming ranch. I saw a beautiful white
Cape-Dutch styled house with the most beautiful
green pastures I have ever seen. In the background
was a very high mountain which I perceived to be
the mountain of the Lord. While seeing the vision I
received the interpretation from the Holy Spirit and
some Scriptures also came to mind.

The ranch symbolizes the kingdom of God. God is

doing a new thing, something fresh in the earth. We
are at the dawning of a new day and everything
pivots around the Father’s business (a ranch is a
business). The Lord is getting everything ready to
mobilize His end time army. The last epic battle of
the ages has already started. The time for the great
harvest has drawn near. The Lord is preparing an
army, the greatest and most awesome that will
ever walk this earth. Though there is presently a
war going on all fronts only a very small part of the
Lord’s people are presently engaged in this war.
However, the Lord is doing a quick work in the
earth.

The house symbolizes the house of the Lord. The

first mentioning in Scripture about the house of the
Lord is when Jacob met the Lord at a place which
he named Bethel because he perceived it to be the
house of the Lord.
Isaac forbade Jacob to take a Canaanite wife but to
take a wife for himself from the daughters of Laban
who was his mother’s brother. So he went from
Beersheba toward Haran. The Hebrew meaning for
Beersheba is the well of the oath. It was a town
with seven wells situated at the Southern border
of the Promised Land. The Hebrew word yāmîn
means south or the right hand. East is the direction
of primary orientation for the Hebrews and other
Semitic peoples. When facing East, South was on
the “right of east” or “the right hand side” and
north was “left of east” or “the left hand side.” East
referred to “the front” or “the present or future”
and west “behind” or “the past.”

In Scripture the term “right hand” (Heb: yāmîn)

often refers to one’s literal right hand (Ezekiel 39:3;
Jonah 4:11). However, it is also symbolic of
authority and power: the signet ring was worn on
the royal right hand (Jeremiah 22:24), the elder son
received the greater blessing via the right hand
(Genesis 48:14, 17), and the position of honor was
at one’s right hand (Psalm 110:1, 5; cf. Mark 14:62;
Colossians 3:1). The right hand refers to the
direction “south,” since the right hand of one facing
east would be to the south (2 Kings 23:13).

Jacob came from Beersheba, the well of the oath,

the southern border of Israel or from the place of
the right hand or place of the blessing of God.
When Jacob left for Haran Isaac blessed him. May
God Almighty bless you, and make you fruitful and
multiply you, that you may be an assembly of
peoples; and give you the blessing of Abraham, to
you and your descendants with you, that you may
inherit the land in which you are a stranger which
God gave to Abraham (Genesis 28:3-4). Jacob went
toward Haran. Haran means parched, dry or
scorched.

When a person is born again, placed in the Beloved

he or she is a partaker of the blessing of Abraham
in the Lord Jesus Christ. The New Covenant in the
blood of the Lord Jesus Christ is a covenant of pure
mercy and grace. The only requirement is faith in
God and Jesus Christ whom he sent. A new convert
starts immediately blessed (Beersheba experience)
and then tasting the dryness of a life of faith (Haran
experience). If you follow the path of life diligently
you will on your way see the house of God that
Jacob saw.

On Jacob’s way toward Haran God showed him His

house. Now Jacob went out from Beersheba and
went toward Haran. So he came to a certain place
and stayed there all night, because the sun had
set. And he took one of the stones of that place and
put it at his head, and he lay down in that place to
sleep. Then he dreamed, and behold, a ladder was
set on the earth, and its top reached to heaven;
and there the angels of God were ascending and
descending on it. And behold the Lord stood above
it and said: “I am the Lord God of Abraham your
father and the God of Isaac; the land on which you
lie I will give to you and your descendants. Also
your descendants shall be as the dust of the earth;
you shall spread abroad to the west and the east,
to the north and the south; and in you and in your
seed all the families of the earth shall be blessed.
Behold I am with you and will keep you wherever
you go, and will bring you back to this land; for I
will not leave you until I have done what I have
spoken to you.” Then Jacob awoke from his sleep
and said, “Surely the Lord is in this place, and I did
not know it.” And he was afraid and said, “How
awesome is this place! This is none other than the
house of God, and this is the gate of heaven!” Then
Jacob rose early in the morning, and took the stone
that he had put at his head, set it up as a pillar, and
poured oil on top of it. And he called the name of
that place Bethel; but the name of that city had
been Luz previously. Then Jacob made a vow
saying, “If God will be with me, and keep me in this
way, that I am going, and give me bread to eat and
clothing to put on, so that I come back to my
father’s house in peace, then the Lord shall be my
God. And this stone which I have set as a pillar
shall be God’s house, and of all that You give me I
will surely give a tenth to You (Genesis 28:10-22).

I believe this is the picture of the house of the Lord

that the Holy Spirit has shown me in my vision. Let
us interpret this passage of Scripture like we
interpret dreams.

Jacob stayed all night at a certain place because

the sun has set. It is a picture of the sun setting on
the Church age. Jacob went to sleep. It is also a
picture of the church sleeping. The name of this
place was known as Luz. The Hebrew word Luz
derived from the primary root Lûwz means to
depart, perverse, perverseness, to borrow or lend
and to turn aside. This is the shocking state of the
church at the end of the church age. It has
departed from the truth. It is said that if the
apostles of Jesus’ day must hear the word that is
going forth from many pulpits in the United States
and rest of the world today they will not recognize
it as the gospel they have received from the Lord.
The emphasis of the word is polluted with self
interest and doctrines and views which reveals a
shallow relationship with the Lord and some
instances no relationship at all. So the word has
become perverted. Borrowing and lending, money
lending, sounds like business. Then He taught,
saying to them, “Is it not written, ‘My house shall
be called a house of prayer for all nations’? But you
have made it a ‘den of thieves’” (Mark 11:17).
Instead of a house of prayer religious institutions
converted the house of the Lord into a
moneymaking industry to support their religious
programs. Most use their religious programs to run
from the presence of the Lord, like Jonah, instead of
engagement in prayer, worship and speaking an
unadulterated message of the kingdom of God. I do
not say every church is like this but the majority of
churches in the USA and in the rest of the world is
under the spirit of Luz. Thank God we are already
seeing some divine changes where the fires of
enlightenment and revival slowly but surely started
to burn but we are far from the glory of the house
of God that Jacob saw in his dream.

What did Jacob see? He saw the house of the Lord.

He saw angels ascending and descending on a
ladder that was set up on earth and its top reach
into heaven. And He said to him, “Most assuredly, I
say to you, hereafter you shall see heaven open,
and the angels of God ascending and descending
upon the Son of Man (John 1:51). The ladder is
Jesus. The ladder is the mountain in my vision. The
mountain of the Lord and the ladder is the same, it
is Jesus. I will talk about it later.

Then Jacob heard the Lord confirm to him the

promise he made to his grandfather Abraham and
his father Isaac. The house of the Lord must
constantly hear the original promise to Abraham
and his seed to make the people of the Lord
reaching out in faith for the city set on a hill which
has foundations, whose builder and maker is God.
To Jacob is said that his descendants will be like the
dust of the earth and he shall spread abroad to the
west and the east, and to the north and the south.
It refers to the ingathering of the great harvest that
will start happening shortly. The Lord is already
starting to move in His people. We already starting
to experience the beginning of the birth pangs, of
the greatest wave of revival that this planet has
ever seen. Toward the end of the next decade you
will not believe your eyes. In that time, life as we
know it will dramatically start to change. It is the
time when we will start walking in the shadow of
death as evil will be released on an unprecedented
measure on the face of the earth. It will also be the
time when the house of the Lord will start to walk in
the greatest purity that the earth has ever
witnessed since the fall of man.
The Lord promised Jacob that He will be with him
and keep him wherever he goes and bring him back
to the Promised Land and God will not leave him
until He has done what He has promised. The Lord
will never leave us or forsake His house and He will
build His temple. Jesus answered and said to them,
“Destroy this temple, and in three days (three
thousand years) I will raise it up” (John 2:20). The
great ingathering will continue until the end of the
millennial reign of the Lord, until His house is
complete.

When Jacob went to sleep he took a stone and put

it at his head. The head stone or chief cornerstone
symbolizes Jesus the head of His church. Jesus
Christ Himself being the chief cornerstone (the
stone at Jacob’s head), in whom the whole building,
fitted together, grows into a holy temple in the
Lord, in whom you also being built together for a
dwelling place of God in the Spirit (Ephesians
2:20b-22). When Jacob woke up in the morning he
took the head stone and set it up as a pillar and
poured oil on top of it. The pillar with oil on top of it
symbolizes the body of Christ (from head stone to
pillar), which ought to be the anointed pillar and
basis of truth. It means that the word becomes
flesh in the body of Christ. But if I am delayed, I
write so that you may know how you ought to
conduct yourself in the house of God, which is the
church of the living God, the pillar and ground of
truth (1 Timothy 3:15, emphasis added). The pillar
also stands for a strong and responsible church
leadership. It also refers to overcoming. He who
overcomes, I will make him a pillar in the temple of
My God, and he shall go out no more. And I write
on him the name of My God and the name of the
city of My God, the New Jerusalem, which comes
down out of heaven from My God. And I will write
on him My new name (Revelation 3:12). The Lord
called His church to overcome.
When Jacob awoke from his sleep he was upset for
that which he had observed. He said that place
where he met God was the house of God. Jacob had
the fear of the Lord on him as he described the
house of the Lord as an awesome place. He also
described the house of God as the gate of heaven.
And he called the name of that place Bethel, which
means house of God.

The house of the Lord is the living stones that

house the presence of the Lord because the Lord
made His abode among His people. The house of
the Lord is firstly a house of continues prayer and
worship and secondly a place where the people
give themselves to the ministry of the word. But we
will give ourselves continually to prayer and to the
ministry of the word (Acts 6:4). The restoration of
the house of the Lord to its former glory and
beyond is the fashioning of the living stones in to
the image of Christ that they may found their
anointed positions in the structure of His house.
There will be a generation in this last days that will
be sold out to the Lord in giving them to Him, firstly
in continues prayer and then to search out His word
and will in meditation on the word and waiting on
the Lord – always ready in season and out of
season with a word from God. The purpose of their
faith, which is their life that is hidden in Christ, is to
manifest the love of the Father. They are the ones
that know that many enemies of the cross of today
will be part of the eternal family of God tomorrow.
They will be the ones that will obtain a witness that
the presence of the love of the Father never
diminished in their lives. Uncounted numbers will
come to the cross of Christ because there will be a
people that know how to love the enemies of the
cross, the outcast, widows, orphans and every soul
on the highways and the byways. Indeed the Lord is
in this place, it is a place of prayer and worship
where the presence of His love abides.
The house of the Lord is also a dreadful and an
awesome place. It is a place where the fear of God
abides. It is a place to walk humble and upright in
the presence of God in holy reverence to Him. It is
a place of holy worship as we behold the
awesomeness of His person and heed His wonderful
and illustrious deeds and remember His holy name.
Indeed the church of today has not yet encountered
the fierceness of the holiness of the presence of the
Lord as in the days of the first apostles. Remember
how Satan filled the hearts of Ananias and Sapphira
to lie to the Holy Spirit and they died. Great fear
came upon all the church and upon all who heard
these things (Acts 5:1-11). It was so unnecessary
for this tragedy to hit the church before the fear of
the Lord came upon them. A repentant and humble
condition of heart and attitude would have taken
care of it.

Jacob also described the house of God as the gate

of heaven. The church of the Lord Jesus Christ is
the prophetic voice of the Lord revealing the
manifold wisdom of God to the principalities and
powers in heavenly places, according to the eternal
purpose which He accomplished in Christ Jesus our
Lord. The church is the beautiful wife of the Lamb:
a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon
under her feet, and on her head a garland of twelve
stars. She is the one being with child and will give
birth to a male child, the sons of God, for which all
creation eagerly waits. She is the one that will
create other offspring also through the gospel of
the kingdom. She will be a refuge for many because
of the family spirit that prevails in her that is fueled
by the love of the Father.

She is one with her Husband and in Him she is the

narrow gate of heaven. Enter by the narrow gate;
for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads
to destruction, and there are many who go in by it.
Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way
which leads to life, and there are few who find it
(Matthew 7:13-14). It is not every one who says,
“Lord, Lord,” or who cast out demons and done
many wonders in His name but he who does the will
of the Father who lives in heaven. It is he who
hears the word of the Lord and does it. This is the
way of the house of the Lord who is the gate to
heaven, the way of His wise virgin bride. The way of
the foolish virgins, are those that practice
lawlessness instead of procuring as much anointing
as possible from the Holy Spirit that their lamps
may not go out in the day when the bridegroom
delay and all will slumber and sleep.

The Lord is speaking to the virgins of His house, to

the sons of the kingdom and not to the unbelieving
sinner. But the sons of the kingdom will be cast
out into outer darkness. There will be weeping and
gnashing of teeth (Matthew 8:12, emphasis added).
The rewards for our earthly lives are the
eternal positions that we will have forever.
The foolish virgins knew the Lord, and trusted in His
cross for salvation, but did not pay the price to die
to self and live for Him, but they lived for
themselves. They did not live anointed lives,
keeping their vessels filled with the oil of the Holy
Spirit. They have eternal life, but they wasted their
lives on earth. They wasted their time and the
lives of people through a lack of humility and a
lack of the fruit of the Spirit, because they
lacked the anointing oil of the Holy Spirit in their
lives. The grief that they will experience when they
understood how they had wasted their lives will be
beyond any grief possible on earth. The darkness of
that grief can only be understood by those foolish
virgins. Such darkness is magnified when it is
revealed in contrast to the glory of the One they
failed. Those are the ones, though mighty princes
of God that will have the lowest rank in heaven.
There is no greater folly than to know the great
salvation of God, but then to go on living for
yourself. If anyone’s work is burned, he will suffer
loss; but he himself will be saved, yet as through
fire (1 Corinthians 3:15, emphasis added).

Repentance is the way to restoration and has

everything to do with the grace of God. Grace is not
just the forgiveness of repeated sins in our lives – it
is the power to live a new life as a new creation
that does not continue to be subject to the old
nature. However, the battle is long and hard
against our old nature, and the grace of God
certainly does forgive us for our repeated failures
while we are fighting. The deception of many is
that they do not have to fight – that they can
continue to live in sin and God will still
forgive them. This is a dangerous fallacy made
clear in Scripture. For it is impossible for those who
were once enlightened, and have tasted the
heavenly gift, and have become partakers of the
Holy Spirit, and have tasted the good word of God
and the powers of the age to come, if they fall
away, to renew them again to repentance, since
they crucify again for themselves the Son of God,
and put Him to an open shame. For the earth which
drinks in the rain that often comes upon it, and
bears herbs useful for those by whom it is
cultivated, receives blessing from God; but if it
bears thorns and briers, it is rejected and near to
being cursed, whose end is to be burned. But,
beloved, we are confident of better things
concerning you, yes, things that accompany
salvation, though we speak in this manner. For God
is not unjust to forget your work and labor of love
which you have shown toward His name, in that
you have ministered to the saints, and do minister.
And we desire that each one of you show the same
diligence to the full assurance of hope until the
end, that you do not become sluggish, but imitate
those who through faith and patience inherit the
promises (Hebrews 6:4-12).

It is dangerous to be born again through the Spirit

of God, make a commitment to follow Jesus, and
then fall away in sin to serve self and the devil
again. However, it is possible to be renewed again
if we have not taste, “the heavenly gift…. shared in
the Holy Spirit … tasted the goodness of the word
of God and the powers of the age to come.” To
have done all of this is to have come to a level of
maturity and revelation of God and His ways and if
we fall from this we are irredeemable.

In the vision, I saw the most beautiful green

pastures I have ever seen. In 2010 we will see that
the Lord will start to restore the heart of the
shepherd in His house that His sheep may be fed
on time. There will be a sifting of the true shepherd
from the hireling. An emphasis will come on the
Melchizedek priesthood and deep anointed worship
that will bring healing to the wounded. Healing
create oneness in the house of the Lord. The
judgments will start in the house of the Lord that
will set us free to ascend into the mountain of the
Lord.

The ladder that Jacob saw in his dream is the

mountain of the Lord in my vision, which is Jesus.
And He said to him, “Most assuredly, I say to you,
hereafter you shall see heaven open, and the
angels of God ascending and descending upon the
Son of Man (John 1:51). The year 2010 is a call for
rapid spiritual growth. Each step of the ladder is the
same as each ledge of the mountain. Every step of
the ladder or ledge of the mountain represent a
spiritual level of grace that is associated with a
biblical truth such as salvation, , prayer, faith, hope,
love, etc. The higher you go the deeper the biblical
truth and the greater the sacrifice and the more
grace you need. On the top of the mountain is
paradise where the overcomer eats of the fruit of
the tree of life, that he or she may know the love of
the Father. He who has an ear, let him hear what
the Spirit says to the churches. To him who
overcomes I will give to eat from the tree of life,
which is in the midst of the Paradise of God
(Revelation 2:7). As the ladder and the mountain
represent a picture of Jesus it emphasizes that your
entire life with all its activities is absorbed in the
Son of God so that the excellence of the power is
from God and not from flesh and blood. All your
achievements are in Him and by His ability
according to measure of His grace.
