The Joel Army 2


One writing pattern I have learnt from Prophet Rick Joyner when writing about the details of the last days is not to be completely authoritative. We must all learn that we see in part and a sign that what you believe is wrong is when you refuse to subject it to scrutiny.

I am aware that some circles of believers that I respect and still learn from do not believe that God is raising an army according to the writing of Prophet Joel in Joel 2:1-11. However, we agree that irrespective of the name we call the army, there is truly raising an army.

The canon of scripture shows that some writings are directed at the natural Israel while some are directed towards the spiritual Israel. Historical books talk more about the natural Israel and it is for our learning while prophetic books point more to the spiritual Israel than the natural Israel. The book of Joel is one of such writings that points to the spiritual Israel- the church.

Joel starts his book by describing the state of things in Jerusalem which perfectly aligns with what the church and the world is experiencing at this time. A careful study of the first chapter shows a similar set of events with the famous Matthew 24.

After the description of the terrible state of things in chapter 1, he goes on, inspired by the Spirit to give us details of the day of the LORD which also signifies the last days. The first thing he says is a call for the trumpet to be blown in God's holy mountain- Zion. He mentions some things about the day of the LORD and one of them is "a great and a strong people". This is the army.

The next verse till verse 11 describes the army which will do a two-fold work: redemption and destruction. They will redeem by fire and will also destroy by the same fire.

Not to make this so long, I will stop here and continue in the next edition. If you have questions or comments, kindly drop them here. I will attend to them.

Oranmiyan (Part 3: Origin of Yoruba)

  Our journey will begin by identifying who the Yoruba people are. From the stories and relics of the children of the tribe, it is obvious that the projenitors of the tribe were deeply rooted in sorcery. Especially those who constitute the royal families. Their blood lines is soaked in idolatry, divination and sorcery. They know how to access principalities and powers and learn their worship modes. There are many stories about the origin of the Yoruba race. The Yoruba race has two major stories about their origin. One is supernatural. The other is natural The supernatural or divine one said that the supreme being, God, sent a god- Obatala to come and create the earth, but he got drunk and God had to send another god- Oduduwa. This is what some people hold. This school of thought has several loopholes chief of which is that Oduduwa entered Ile Ife in 11AD, but Ife Arts, according to carbon dating goes way back as 500BC which means that there was life in Ile Ife before Oduduwa came in.

Oranmiyan (Part 4: Lamurudu vs Oduduwa)

After being forced out of his land, Lamurudu settled in Egypt for some time where he deepened his knowledge in sorcery. He learned several patterns of rituals which still exists in some parts of Ijebu today. At that time, the Egyptians have developed so well in the worship of their gods who were originally men. The concept of gods begins with a man encountering a demonic prince who is looking for obeisance from men. These princes have the same goal as Lucifer. Once they begin to get attention from a man, the man begins to take up their (dark) nature because it is a law in the spirit realm that whatever you behold, you become. The consecration of these men to the worship of the princes led to the reproduction of the abilities and characteristics of the prince in the man, so the man becomes great among other men. Most of these men takes up the name of the prince that they worship such that when the man dies, you can keep calling his name and the prince responds to your request thereby es

Oranmiyan (Part 5: The gods of Egypt)

During the sojourn of Lamurudu in Egypt, what was going on in Egypt at that time was similar to what happened in Genesis 6:1-2 where demonic entities found a way to reproduce themselves in women to establish a race of beings that were not fully humans. These creatures were very big that they were called Giants. They had 6 fingers and toes and unusual strength. Bible refer to them as Nephilims which means mysterious beings who are large and strong. Some other meanings called them fallen ones. They had supernatural abilities and they preyed on full humans. The situation was like what was portrayed in Harry Potter that had pure bloods, half bloods, mud bloods and muggles. The pure bloods were the witches whose both parents are also witches, half blood is a witch with one parent as witch, mud blood has both parents as normal people and muggles are non witches. At that time in Genesis 6, the Nephilims had created another race on earth that paralleled the pure humans. This what why God sent
