I WILL RAISE UP A NEW STANDARD

     Have we not entered into that time and season where darkness shall raise up for itself a new standard, a thick and heavy cloud of darkness as foretold by the One who is able to see the end from the beginning? “For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people” Isaiah 60:2. For does darkness not cover the earth? And a gross darkness the people?

     For has a new standard of darkness not truly come upon all the earth and its inhabitants? For is the horizon not utterly dark? Which is a time of great darkness where justice is utterly turned back? And where righteousness stands afar off? Where truth has fallen in the street? And equity cannot enter? Isaiah‬ ‭59:14‬.

     For do their feet not run to evil? And do they not make haste to shed innocent blood? And are their thoughts not thoughts of good but of iniquity? And is wasting and destruction not in their paths? Isaiah‬ ‭59:7‬.

     And do men’s hearts not fail due to fear? For have we not entered that season of darkness where justice is now far from us? Where righteousness is unable to overtake us? Do we not look for light, but there is darkness! For brightness, but we walk in blackness! We grope for the wall like the blind. And we grope as if we had no eyes. We stumble at noonday as at twilight. We are as dead men in desolate places. ‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭59:9-10‬.

     For is this not the season foretold by the great oracle, the great I AM, in Revelation 9:1-3, where the sun and the air will become darkened because of the smoke coming out of the bottomless pit (utter darkness)? And where out of the smoke (darkness) came locusts upon the earth? So that the lust and greed of man shall reach a frenzy and a standard of darkness (as unto a swarm of locusts) unto which it has never risen before? And where per­version and the blood of innocents shall be at it’s all-time greatest upon the earth? For even now are the agencies of the pit beginning to multiply on the earth.

     But, behold, even though the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: has it not also been written that the LORD shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee? Isaiah 60:2. For does the LORD not decree: that He declares the end from the beginning, and ancient times from what is still to come? Does He not say, “My purpose will stand, and all My good pleasure I will accomplish”? Isaiah 46:10.

     For does the LORD not see the end from the beginning? And is it not said that “better is the end of a matter than its beginning”? Ecclesiastes 7:8. For in the end, is His purpose not to raise up a standard against this darkness? And shall He not accomplish exactly that? Shall He not accomplish all that He has set His heart to accomplish? For does He not declare that ALL His good pleasure He will accomplish?

     For has He not decreed that they shall fear the name of the LORD from the west, and His glory from the rising of the sun? That when the enemy comes in like a flood (of locusts) (a great darkness), that the Spirit of the LORD will lift up a standard against him? ‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭59:19‬.

     For is it not also written that because truth fails, that the LORD saw it, and that it displeased Him? That it greatly displeased Him that there was no justice?‭‭ Isaiah‬ ‭59:15‬. And because of this, that He put on righteousness as a breastplate? And He put on the garments of vengeance for clothing? And was clad with zeal as a cloak? Isaiah‬ ‭59:17‬. For has the great LORD I AM, being He who was, who is, and who is to come, not declared that, “Vengeance is Mine, and recompense; their foot shall slip in due time; for the day of their calamity is at hand, and the things to come hasten upon them”? Deuteronomy 32:35.

     For has the LORD our God not sworn that according to their deeds, accordingly He will repay? Has He not promised fury to His adversaries, and recompense to His enemies? That so shall they fear the name of the LORD from the west, and His glory from the rising of the sun?‭ ‭Isaiah‬ ‭59:18-19‬.

     For behold, is Christ not our Jubilee? Has it not been decreed of old that the Lord's hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; neither his ear heavy, that it cannot hear? Isaiah 59:1. That though your beginning was insignificant, yet your end will increase greatly? Job 8:7.

     And is He not talking here of those who He shall raise up as a standard to stand in the gap against this flood of darkness? For is there not coming a tsunami generation that will ride the wave of His Spirit? And shall they not be called His “War Eagles”? For is it not of these who the LORD speaks when He says: “I will give to the one who thirsts from the spring of the water of life without cost”? Revelation 21:6. Which is all those who He has sealed for such a time as this.

     For those He seals shall be used of Him to raise up a standard against the wave of darkness. For they shall be a tsunami generation of war eagles aflame with power and authority. For like a burning fire shut up in their bones that they are unable to hold back, the Word shall be like a wild and raging inferno and tsunami in their hearts. Jeremiah 20:8.

     For they shall be sealed by Jesus to speak words with power and authority against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places, “even as the words that fell from the lips of the Son of God, for Him had the Father sealed.“ John 6:27.

     For this is the day of my sealing, says the Lord. For even now have I sealed you for this day. Would you be used of Me in this day, says the Lord ? Then seek Me with all your heart and all your soul and all your being. Jeremiah 29:13. And seek Me while I may still be found. Isaiah 55:6. For then I shall raise you up in Christ as a standard against all darkness, a tsunami generation of war eagles and light, to be used mightily by Me for our Father’s glory, for such a time as this.
