In a recent revelation that has stirred the hearts of many believers, Evangelist Perry Stone shared a profound dream pointing towards a prophetic missing link related to the return of Christ. On the morning of Tuesday, May 9, 2023, the dream unfolded, featuring a man dressed in white delivering a cryptic message: “The secret is in the birth pain cycles.”
Drawing inspiration from Sir Isaac Newton’s assertion centuries ago that a body of men would arise to focus on literal interpretations of prophecies during the end times, Stone turned attention to Daniel 12:4. The verse highlighted a time when knowledge of God’s purposes, as revealed by His prophets, would increase significantly.
Decoding the Signs: Biblical Knowledge and Increasing Revelation
As humanity approaches the anticipated return of the Lord, Stone reflected on historical global calamities, such as 9/11, the COVID pandemic and natural disasters, raising questions about whether these events signify divine judgment or mere incidents. Delving into Leviticus 26, he provides insights into the biblical perspective on calamities and their potential connection to disobedience, while urging believers to remain vigilant and attuned to unfolding events..
Discerning Divine Intent: Chastisement vs. Judgment
Addressing the perennial question within the body of Christ regarding the nature of major global calamities, Stone conducted a careful examination of biblical principles emphasizing the distinction between divine chastisement and judgment. He also expressed the need for caution when attributing specific events to God’s judgment, considering the complexity of factors involved.
The Curse of Disobedience: Unraveling God’s Covenant
Referencing Old Testament Scriptures, particularly Leviticus 26, Stone linked certain global calamities to the consequences outlined for disobedience. However, a cautionary note was sounded, urging believers to refrain from hastily labeling events as God’s judgment without careful consideration.
Transitioning into a discussion on the curse of disobedience, Stone explained the nuanced understanding of curses in the Hebrew context. Rather than a punitive act, curses were presented as a reduction, diminishment or humbling orchestrated by God in response to disobedience.
Sin of Ignorance vs. Sin of Knowledge: Understanding Accountability
Stone articulated the idea that God’s judgments are legal decisions following an investigation conducted by angels. Angels, described as God’s detectives, play a pivotal role in assessing the spiritual state of individuals, cities or nations. Drawing from biblical narratives, he underscored the importance of recognizing the distinction between sins of ignorance and sins of knowledge.
Judicial Process in Heaven: Angels as Divine Investigators
Unveiling the heavenly judicial process, Stone explains how angels serve as divine investigators, bringing reports before God’s throne. Drawing parallels to biblical narratives, such as Daniel’s dream, the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah and insights from the book of Job, he highlights the role of angels in executing divine decrees.
Navigating the Prophetic Landscape
Finally, Stone underscores the importance of discernment and humility in interpreting current events through a prophetic lens. Acknowledging the intricate interplay between human choices, divine justice and the unfolding of God’s redemptive plan, he encourages believers to seek a deeper understanding of the signs and judgments in these times.
