THE CUP OF MY WRATH
April 3, 2005
And he said to me, "Son of man, eat what is before you, eat this scroll; then go and speak to the house of Israel." 2 So I opened my mouth, and he gave me the scroll to eat. 3 Then he said to me, "Son of man, eat this scroll I am giving you and fill your stomach with it." So I ate it, and it tasted as sweet as honey in my mouth. Ezekiel 3
[ The Cup of God's Wrath ] This is what the LORD , the God of Israel, said to me: "Take from my hand this cup filled with the wine of my wrath and make all the nations to whom I send you drink it. Jer. 25:15
I tell you that the year is speedily coming that will begin the end of the world. For it will mark the time that the anti-christ comes upon the scene. I tell you that there are many that disbelieve this, but when the year opens up they will see new developments of the truth of this. Where have all the true seekers gone? Where have they gone that would sit plainly at my feet?
(The Lord showed me a ladder and I began to climb up it. It was set against a tall cliff of some sort. I climbed it as it went up higher and higher. Then I stood upon a cliff and I was all alone. The sky was dark and cloudy. Then out of the midst of this, a large hand came and reached down to me and beckoned for me to come. I was then in a large room and the Lord gave me a chalice to drink from. I didnt want to because it seemed to contain vile and dirty things in it. He told me that I needed to drink it if I was to speak His judgments. Finally I decided to drink it. Inside of the cup were all kinds of strange things like bugs and snakes. I thought to my self, surely this was not to be drunk. After I drank it then I saw a scroll that was off to my left. As I looked at the scroll, suddenly from the inside of the scroll came several horses that were running towards me. I asked the Lord why I needed to drink of the cup, and He said:
You needed to drink of this cup to know of what form my judgments are to come. There are many that think that they can just drink of my beautiful cup. These are those that think that there are just beautiful days ahead.
I have called some of you to drink of this cup to prepare those who would listen to you.

"THE GAP THAT SEPARATES SOME"
March 28, 2005
And besides all this, between us and you a great chasm has been fixed, so that those who want to go from here to you cannot, nor can anyone cross over from there to us. Luke 16:26
"I tell you that the day you are now living in will turn into night. I tell you that your nation will be invaded. There will be many that will prophesy that bright days are ahead. I tell you that there are many that are "men pleasers" in this hour. Who is that man or woman who would truly speak for Me?I tell you that this nation will be split right down the middle. A line is drawn in the sand. I tell you it will be as a great chasm."
(Here the Lord showed me a huge chasm and there was a cliff on the far side and another one on the side close to me. The gap that separated the two cliffs must have been about a mile in distance.)
"This chasm will separate those who truly know what is going to be happening in this hour. This gap will grow wider and wider. I tell you that the days are hastening forward to the time when the anti-christ figure will be revealed. I tell you that it will be but a short time when this happens. Many think that my time table is pushed into the distant future. I tell you that those who believe this are on the further cliff. There will be earthquakes that come, but this great (earthquake) chasm that I speak of is much greater. "

I WILL BRING THE GENERALS DOWN
March 26, 2005
The prophets prophesy lies, the priests rule by their own authority, and my people love it this way. But what will you do in the end? Jeremiah 5:31
"I have heard what the prophets say who prophesy lies in my name. They say, 'I had a dream! I had a dream!' Jer. 23:25
I tell you that there are many prophets in this hour that speak words of what the public wants them to hear. I tell you that this is true even among the well-known prophets. For words go out and meetings are held that bring these types of people to together. Has this not happened in the past? Were there not prophets who spoke like this during the time of Jeremiah? I tell you that pride and notoriety has clouded their vision. They will lose their mantle. I tell you that no longer will I accept these types of messages. I tell you that I will no longer have these generals lead my army.

THE BLANKET OF UNBELIEF
March 19, 2005
The god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so that they cannot see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God. 2 Corinthians 4:4
For he says, In the time of my favor I heard you, and in the day of salvation I helped you. [ Isaiah 49:8] I tell you, now is the time of God's favor, now is the day of salvation. 2 Corinthians 6:2
These are the times that many have looked into. These are the days that are hastening forward to my soon return. These days are hastening forward because time is moving at a much higher rate. If something took five years before, now it will take but one. But I tell you that evil will increase as well. For the days will get darker and darker before the light that my Sons light is shone abroad. For there is a blanket of unbelief that has blinded many, but behold
I have given some the authority to tear this curtain off.
(The Lord showed me a globe of the world and around the globe there was a cloth or curtain of some sort, that was covering much of the globe, so that those there could not see out.)
The angel of darkness has blinded the truth to many, but his time is running out. The days are slowly running out. The time will come when it will be too late. Now is the acceptable day of salvation. Come to Me now before the days of destruction come. Behold
.my horsemen come soon upon the earth.

THE PROPHETIC TIME TABLE WILL INCREASE
March 12, 2005
30 I will show wonders in the heavens and on the earth, blood and fire and billows of smoke. 31 The sun will be turned to darkness and the moon to blood before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD . Joel 2
4 But you, Daniel, close up and seal the words of the scroll until the time of the end. Many will go here and there to increase knowledge." Daniel 12
I tell you that great natural disasters are coming upon the earth. I tell you that Mt. Saint Helens will blow again. Its smoky ash will fill the air for hundreds of miles around. There will be signs in the heavens and on the earth below.
Many prophecies speak of new developments that are coming. They say that man will delve into the secrets of the universe. I tell you that these things are true, but I also tell you that man has put himself up as his own god. I have said that in the last days that knowledge would increase. It is at a rapid rate of increase at the moment, but it will be part of mans demise.
I have spoken and said that time will increase in these days. Indeed, these things are true. These things are true to the degree that the prophetic time table of events will be tilted on a balance scale. The clock will click, but its hands will move at a far more rapid rate. When you hear of rumors of other nations building up their nuclear arsenals, you will then see the events of these things happening at a far more rapid rate.
I am the God of the universe and I have a plan for every man and woman upon the earth. The days are short. Many will fall in this hour, but those who are close to Me will shine like the stars in the heavens.
Stephen Hanson
TIME WILL SPEED-UP
March 5, 2005
(A minister friend of mine had asked for some discernment concerning some thingsthat she had heard from the Lord. She said that the Lord told her to warn everyone that the Angel of Time is about to cast down the burning hour glass of judgment into the earth in a matter of days, when he declares by the Lord, 'time is up'. )
Aside: I believe that these are important things for us to consider. We need to remember how God reckons time and that the language of the spirit is to be considered so that we can then understand what He has to say to us in relevance to these things.)
A Time for Everything
1 There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven: 2 a time to be born and a time to die, a time to plant and a time to uproot, 3 a time to kill and a time to heal, a time to tear down and a time to build, 4 a time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time to dance, 5 a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them, a time to embrace and a time to refrain, 6 a time to search and a time to give up, a time to keep and a time to throw away, 7 a time to tear and a time to mend, a time to be silent and a time to speak, 8 a time to love and a time to hate, a time for war and a time for peace. Ecclesiastes 3
My response after praying about this was:
Yes that is a strange thing to hear...Obviously we don't have just five days left upon the earth, but we need to understand the language of the spirit. I believe that the Lord is saying that in five days He will begin the countdown. "In the heavens time is reckoned differently than upon earth. Five days is not the same as five days upon the earth. " "In seven days I created the heavens and the earth, but in five days it will be destroyed. These days are hastening forward to my soon return upon the earth. Who will be found ready when these times come? Time as you know it, will begin the process of "speeding-up." And then the events that have been predicted, will begin to unfold."

STANDING ON THE SHOULDERS OF OTHER MEN
Feb. 26, 05
PR 2:4 and if you look for it as for silver and search for it as for hidden treasure,
LK 10:21 At that time Jesus, full of joy through the Holy Spirit, said, "I praise you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and learned, and revealed them to little children. Yes, Father, for this was your good pleasure.
RO 10:20 And Isaiah boldly says, "I was found by those who did not seek me; I revealed myself to those who did not ask for me."
(The Lord showed me a strange scene of a man that was standing on the top of a man who was standing on the top of several other men. There must have been around twenty or so people who were standing on the shoulders of each other. Finally, at the very top of this, the last person was reaching for the roof. At this point, he pulled himself up and was looking out. Then he began to run and would jump from building top to building top. This process continued with each person standing on the top of each person and finally looking out upon a roof scene.)
This is mans attempt to reach Me, and also, many prophets have stood on the shoulders of others to get revelation of Me. I tell you that many want to have a personal relationship with Me, but they think that they have to do something important for Me. You do not go up to the heavens, but I have gone down to you. There are not many who have received new revelation of Me in this hour.
Stephen Hanson
THE DECISION HAS BEEN MADE
Feb. 18, 2005
ISA 26:9 My soul yearns for you in the night; in the morning my spirit longs for you.When your judgments come upon the earth, the people of the world learn righteousness.
JER 1:16 I will pronounce my judgments on my people because of their wickedness in forsaking me, in burning incense to other gods and in worshiping what their hands have made.
The countdown is beginning
The countdown is beginning in heaven for my judgments upon the earth. They are beginning to be spoken in heaven. It is very much like the countdown is said before a rocket takes off. After the rocket hits its destination then you will know what took place. Some think that these judgments can be stopped. I tell you that they have been decreed. Many have prayed that these things would not come. I have heard the cases that have been presented to Me, but the decision will be carried out.
(I saw what appeared to be a courtroom in heaven. God the Father was seated behind a great desk and some had come forward to present their cases to Him. However, I saw a gavel that a judge would use, and I watched as it came down upon the desk several times pronouncing the decision that He had made.)

MANY HAVE FALLEN INTO SLUMBER
Feb. 12, 2005
RO 13:11 And do this, understanding the present time. The hour has come for you to wake up from your slumber, because our salvation is nearer now than when we first believed. [12] The night is nearly over; the day is almost here. So let us put aside the deeds of darkness and put on the armor of light. [13] Let us behave decently, as in the daytime, not in orgies and drunkenness, not in sexual immorality and debauchery, not in dissension and jealousy. [14] Rather, clothe yourselves with the Lord Jesus Christ, and do not think about how to gratify the desires of the sinful nature.
The time is coming for most of this earth to go through judgment. For my judgment is about to fall upon this earth. For my plans will be carried out. I tell you that much of this earth has fallen into sin. My angels are set at various places around the world. They are there to carry out my plans for that given area. Now, the time is rapidly approaching for these things to be carried out. I tell you that many will be lost during the coming years. Many will fall into various forms of sin. Many will fall prey to evil spirits.
Behold, it is not as it seems.
(The Lord showed me a vision of a velvet curtain. The curtain was being pulled back and there was a stage behind it. Here on the stage were several beds with people sleeping on them. I noticed each person as they lay comfortably in their beds. Some would turn their heads and were then lulled to sleep. Nothing would seem to awaken them from their slumber. A dense cloud came and it encircled around the people who were sleeping. It was so thick that nothing else could be seen because of it. It was as if the cloud was their world.)
This cloud represents how much of the world has been lulled to sleep. They dont recognize the signs of the world around them. They are oblivious to the events of the world that are taking place around them. These things that will come will take many by surprise. Will you be ready?

THE LAND MUST BE PURGED
Feb. 5, 2005
JOEL 1:6 A nation has invaded my land, powerful and without number; it has the teeth of a lion, the fangs of a lioness.
ISA 25:4 You have been a refuge for the poor, a refuge for the needy in his distress, a shelter from the storm and a shade from the heat. For the breath of the ruthless is like a storm driving against a wall.
I tell you that the winds continue to blow upon the land. I tell you that there are difficult days ahead for those who live in the United States. I tell you that this nation will face many things in the days ahead. There is a strategy at work that would bring desolation to the people. I tell you that my people will not be left desolate, but they need to know that difficult days are ahead. I tell you that China and Russia will join forces. For they have no intentions of following out the plans for world peace. When will peace come? Is true peace to be found in a government system? I tell you
..there is no peace to be found apart from Me. Peace will come after the land has been laid desolate. These are difficult things to understand, but how else can the land be purged?
Stephen Hanson
THE APPEARANCE OF THE UNITED STATES WILL CHANGE
Jan. 30, 2005
[21] For then there will be great distress, unequaled from the beginning of the world until now--and never to be equaled again. [22] If those days had not been cut short, no one would survive, but for the sake of the elect those days will be shortened. Matt. 24
There is a place that you can run to and hide when the storms come upon this world. There is a place that you will be sheltered from the storms. I tell you that you can run to Me when the storms of this life rage upon you. For there are great storms coming. They will be unequaled since the time of this world. I tell you that in the coming months and years the United States map will change. For the map of the United States will be changed because of catastrophic events. This will be because of various earthquakes and nuclear attacks.
(The Lord showed me a picture of the state of Florida. I was looking at it and then the shape of it was then transformed into the shape of a gun. It was as if the panhandle section was then the barrel of a gun. It then seemed that the state itself had become broken in half. The Lord then showed me a picture of the United States. I was shown the state of Texas and it was broken in a piece where the bottom half of it was now submerged. It had broken off from about where the panhandle section was in the state. The gulf of Mexico had come into most of it and had totally changed it. Then I looked at the rest of the continent, and saw that the northeastern section of the America was being curled up like a paper. The continent was rolled up along the northeastern edges, and along the coastlines down to Florida, some 200 or miles inland. This was also on the western half of America as well, except that California was not to be seen. )

TRIALS WILL COME ANDA KING WILL EMERGE
Jan. 22, 2005
[6] In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials. [7] These have come so that your faith--of greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire--may be proved genuine and may result in praise, glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed. [8] Though you have not seen him, you love him; and even though you do not see him now, you believe in him and are filled with an inexpressible and glorious joy, [9] for you are receiving the goal of your faith, the salvation of your souls. I Peter 1:6
DA 11:36 "The king will do as he pleases. He will exalt and magnify himself above every god and will say unheard-of things against the God of gods. He will be successful until the time of wrath is completed, for what has been determined must take place. [37] He will show no regard for the gods of his fathers or for the one desired by women, nor will he regard any god, but will exalt himself above them all. [38] Instead of them, he will honor a god of fortresses; a god unknown to his fathers he will honor with gold and silver, with precious stones and costly gifts. [39] He will attack the mightiest fortresses with the help of a foreign god and will greatly honor those who acknowledge him. He will make them rulers over many people and will distribute the land at a price.
These are the days that are hastening forward to my soon return.You will be tested in ways that you know not. Many of you havegone through testings and trials, but there are still testings to bedone.
I tell you, the time is coming when the United States will bebesieged. Your boundaries will be crossed over. Your militarywill not stop this. But to those who wonder, Will you be safe?I tell you, I will protect my own. These days will be ushered in.My prophetic time table is hastening forward.
(The Lord showed me a scene of a table. It was dark all around,but then this table was pushed aside and another one emerged.On top of this table was a cloth that seemed to hide some of theobjects that were on this table. One of these objects was a sword.It had many jewels and designs on it. Next to this was a crown.However, this crown was not the one that the Lord would wear,but it was another one that was for another supposed king.)
I tell you, a king will arise out of the east. He will have no regardfor the faith of his fathers. Many think that they already know whohe is. I tell you that he has not been revealed yet. Those who liftup the sword will die by the sword. But my kingdom will be aneverlasting one.

THESE ARE THE DAYS THAT MANY HAVE LOOKED INTO
Jan. 7, 2005
Matt. 24 [6] You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come. [7] Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places. [8] All these are the beginning of birth pains.
MT 24:32 "Now learn this lesson from the fig tree: As soon as its twigs get tender and its leaves come out, you know that summer is near. [33] Even so, when you see all these things, you know that it is near, right at the door. [34] I tell you the truth, this generation will certainly not pass away until all these things have happened. [35] Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away.
1PE 1:10 Concerning this salvation, the prophets, who spoke of the grace that was to come to you, searched intently and with the greatest care, [11] trying to find out the time and circumstances to which the Spirit of Christ in them was pointing when he predicted the sufferings of Christ and the glories that would follow. [12] It was revealed to them that they were not serving themselves but you, when they spoke of the things that have now been told you by those who have preached the gospel to you by the Holy Spirit sent from heaven. Even angels long to look into these things.
"The tsunami that came upon the shoreline was a terrible devastation. It grieves the hearts of many. But I tell you, this isone of many events like this which will follow. "
This is the year for many new things. I tell you that the catastrophe in Indonesia is but one of many catastrophes which will follow. For I tell you, the flood gate of the last days has been opened.You have heard of wars and rumors of wars. You have seen nature unleashed in its fury. During this year you will see the red horse ride upon the land. For this horse has been given a mandate. What is the mandate?-- that the folly of war would be seen. I tell you that man has made many advances in science, but he has not been able to get rid of the war that is in his heart. Man will come to his end. For throughout these catastrophes, he will find that nothing can save him but my Son.Within the next several years the (United States) will be ravaged by unseen forces. I tell you then, by the end of the year of 2006, the man of perdition will come upon the scene. For the world will look to him for deliverance from the ills that war has caused. You are entering a time that many have looked into. Truly, you will know the season that follows. This season marks an indication of the generation that you are in. Truly, I have spoken of the fig tree. For while it is true that Israel became a nation in 1948, her borders became more unified in 1967. You have seen the catastrophic effect of the tsunami that came upon the shorelines. I say that the events that follow will come as a tsunami. You may not see them coming in the distance; but when they come they will come in fury. Pray that you will be safe from these storms. Pray that the world will come to know Me through my Son.
These are the days that many have looked into.

"KNOW HOW TO JUDGE PROPERLY"
Jan. 14, 2005
(While using Old Test. examples below, please understand that the criteria for judging a prophet or words,is found in Dt. 18 and in other Old Test. scriptures. We now judge these things according to New Test. standards as found in various places within the epistles. These scriptures are not exhaustive,but serve as a point of reference.)
ISA 38:1 In those days Hezekiah became ill and was at the point of death. The prophet Isaiah son of Amoz went to him and said, "This is what the LORD says: Put your house in order, because you are going to die; you will not recover."
ISA 38:2 Hezekiah turned his face to the wall and prayed to the LORD, [3] "Remember, O LORD, how I have walked before you faithfully and with wholehearted devotion and have done what is good in your eyes." And Hezekiah wept bitterly.
ISA 38:4 Then the word of the LORD came to Isaiah: [5] "Go and tell Hezekiah, `This is what the LORD, the God of your father David, says: I have heard your prayer and seen your tears; I will add fifteen years to your life. [6] And I will deliver you and this city from the hand of the king of Assyria. I will defend this city.
DT 18:17 The LORD said to me: "What they say is good. [18] I will raise up for them a prophet like you from among their brothers; I will put my words in his mouth, and he will tell them everything I command him. [19] If anyone does not listen to my words that the prophet speaks in my name, I myself will call him to account. [20] But a prophet who presumes to speak in my name anything I have not commanded him to say, or a prophet who speaks in the name of other gods, must be put to death." (Old Test. criteria)
1TH 5:19 Do not put out the Spirit's fire; [20] do not treat prophecies with contempt. [21] Test everything. Hold on to the good. [22] Avoid every kind of evil. (New Test. criteria)
"I tell you that there are many questions in the prophetic. There are many who adhere to Old Testament principles when judging New Testament prophecies. I tell you that there are many who follow a man rather than my spirit. Some judge the person rather than the message. I have shown you plainly in scripture that prophecy can be conditional. As examples, look to Nathan the prophet, Isaiah, and Jonah. Examine thesethings through scripture and then you will know how to judge properly. No one is perfect, but only myself,and yet you expect my servants to be without flaw. Beware of these things for they will pierce your hearts. Do not continue to be babes in your thinking. I will bring all things to light and those things that have been hidden in darkness will come forth. "

WHAT WILL THE NEW YEAR BRING?
Dec. 16, 2004
ISA 60:2 See, darkness covers the earth and thick darkness is over the peoples, but the LORD rises upon you and his glory appears over you.
JOEL 2:2 a day of darkness and gloom, a day of clouds and blackness. Like dawn spreading across the mountains a large and mighty army comes, such as never was of old nor ever will be in ages to come.
In this season you are preparing for the new year and the new years activities. What will the new year bring? What will you face? Will activities and circumstances go on as usual? I tell you that the borders of your country will be breached. I tell you that that man that you have been looking for will be found out. The war will continue with Iraq. This man who has helped plot many terrorist developments will be found out. Life will seemingly go on as usual, but the darkness invades the land. You are living in a time when all of these events are pointing to my soon return.
Stephen Hanson
I WILL SHED MY LIGHT
Dec. 4, 2004
ISA 30:10 They say to the seers, "See no more visions!" and to the prophets, "Give us no more visions of what is right! Tell us pleasant things, prophesy illusions.
AM 3:7 Surely the Sovereign LORD does nothing without revealing his plan to his servants the prophets.
The messages that have been sent out lately in this hour, have centered around many things. But I tell you that my spirit is raising the level. My spirit is bringing prophetic words to a new level. You will see these messages come to life. For there is a new breed of prophets in this hour. They will speak not what the public wants to hear, but they will speak what I will give to them. These words will speak to specific times and instances. They will cut to the quick. They will cut to the division of soul and spirit. For I will reveal things that have been hidden. I will bring to light those things that have been hidden in secret. No longer will there be a doubt about what I am doing. For you will see my light being shed upon the events that are taking place around you. These are the times that are leading up to my return.
Stephen Hanson
