The Naked Prophet

Under the orders of Emperor Sargon of Assyria, the commander-in-chief of the Assyrian army attacked the Philistine city of Ashdod. Three years earlier the Lord had told Isaiah son of Amoz to take off his sandals and the sackcloth he was wearing. He obeyed and went around naked and barefoot. When Ashdod was captured, the Lord said, “My servant Isaiah has been going around naked and barefoot for three years. This is a sign of what will happen to Egypt and Ethiopia.

Where we’re up to is the stiff-necked refusal by Christian leadership to engage with Matty’s Paradigm on any level. They’ve failed in their obligation to keep the flock of God, but it’s time for the End Times Revival to get cranked up (Revelation chapter 7).

If you steadfastly refuse to accept a prophet on the basis of his perfect harmonization of the Holy Bible with Physics, you might be surprised when people accept him simply because he looks and acts like one.

• IF the only thing that really matters is what you look like,
  • AND Christian leadership can ignore a work of scholarship which
    • reconciles science with the Bible
    • shows the integration of a man’s life with the Word of God
  • BUT which has to be suppressed to maintain the status quo,
• THEN don’t be surprised when the guy who shows up
  • actually looks like a prophet and
  • leads the End Times Revival anyway.

Well, now we know our calling. We’re going to be an underwear model.

Judgement will now come upon the Earth. Sorry.

Then Micah said, “Because of this I will mourn and lament. To show my sorrow, I will walk around barefoot and naked. I will howl like a jackal and wail like an ostrich.
