the heavens declare

september - december 2020

Andy Tiplady, 23rd September 2020


Hi there Dear Friends,

 

We know the disruption that Covid-19 has caused across the land. However, this is just the start of things being shaken.


The Shaking

Haggai 2:6-7

For thus says the Lord of hosts: ‘Once more (it is a little while) I will shake heaven and earth, the sea and dry land;

‘and I will shake all nations, and they shall come to the Desire of All Nations, and I will fill this temple with glory,’ says the Lord of hosts.

 

This is the beginning of a shaking and it will not stop until. Until what? The Lord's return. 

The cry from heaven is for the Bride to prepare Herself for the Bridegroom's return.

 

In Revelation 19:7 it says

Let us be glad and rejoice and give Him glory, for the marriage of the Lamb has come, and His wife has made herself ready


The Bridal Company & The Revelation 12 Sign

Everyone is invited to be part of the Bridal company of people. You can listen to my talks on ‘The Marriage Ketubah’, the ancient Jewish marriage contract, you will see that we have to go through a procedure, and it all begins with signing a contract of marriage between two parties. A call has gone out from heaven for the Bride to prepare Herself. The Ketubah talks are found here on YouTube


In 2017 Brother Sadhu Sundar Selvaraj kindly asked me to share a revelation that the Lord had given me all about the “Revelation 12 Sign”, at the Open Heavens Conference that he was hosting in Jerusalem in June. I spoke about the constellation that was in the skies above Jerusalem on the 23rd of September that would see the planet Virgo, with the Sun behind her and the moon at her feet and 12 stars above her as if a crown. Then Jupiter would move into Virgo and remain there for 9 months and then move out of Virgo from between her feet. This astronomical event would depict the woman giving birth, that we see in Revelation 12.


The Fully Matured Man Child

I believe, that Jupiter represents the birthing of two groups of people, a Man Child, as told in Revelation 12. The first group we see in Revelation 7 is redeemed from the 12 Tribes of Israel, and the second group in Revelation 14 is redeemed from man. Two groups: one for Israel, and; the other for the rest of mankind, who will be clothed in the character of God and will take on and show a fallen world the very nature of Christ. They will shine with such light as we see in Isaiah 60, and love will be their banner.

 

They will be like the five wise virgins that Jesus speaks about in Matthew chapter 25:4 who took oil in jars and their lamp to meet the Bridegroom. If the oil represents our passion for, and relationship with Jesus, then what does the lamp represent? Lamps light up everything within their sphere – I believe lamps represent our earthly ministry. So, the wise virgins were born again passionate believers, lives totally focused on the return of the King, the Bridegroom.

 

The foolish virgins, however, took only their lamp with no oil reserves. The Bridegroom was delayed. The wise virgins were prepared; they had prioritized their love and relationship with the Lord here on earth. The foolish however were more concerned with their earthly ministry, than their eternal personal relationship with the Lord. My dear brothers and sisters, how easy it is to let our earthly ministry drain us and take priority over what matters the most – knowing Him and nurturing our relationship with Him. The Lord is reminding me to say, “Don’t let your ministries become more important than your relationship with Jesus, otherwise you will miss the Lord’s return!” 

 

Back in June of 2017, I spoke about a Man Child being birthed. It is now September 23rd 2020, exactly 3 years ago. 

3 being a perfect number. Depending on what you read, some could say that not a lot has happened and anyway, where are these three groups of people depicted in Revelation 12:

  • The Woman
  • The Man Child
  • Her Offspring?

 I would like to suggest that they are alive and kicking! Let me explain:

 

Being aware that there would be a ‘Super Blue Moon’ on 31st October 2020, on the exact day of Halloween, I was waiting on the Lord, confident that He would have something to say about it. After all, as Psalm 19:1-4 points out,

 

The heavens declare the glory of God;

And the firmament shows His handiwork.

Day unto day utters speech,

And night unto night reveals knowledge.

There is no speech nor language

Where their voice is not heard.

Their line has gone out through all the earth,

And their words to the end of the world.



God speaks to us through His heavens, this is not Astrology, but Astronomy, a natural science of the alignment of the heavens as stated in Psalm 19 and Genesis 1:14, and in many other places throughout the Old and New Testament. These signs are just that - signs - they point to something, or rather, to Someone.

 

You can listen to my two talks I gave all about the the celestial signs taking place between September and December of 2020 and into the beginning of 2021, on YouTube here.

  

The Lord is uttering speech to us and all we have to do is look up and read. Remember, we are not discussing what is an abomination to the Lord, namely astrology or horroscopes, rather we are reading the signs in the skies that the Lord Himself put into place, that point to His great return. The enemy has perverted the signs in the heavens as we see in the New Age movement, however, they are God's creations, and as all of creation speaks of His glory, so do the stars. Let's boldly take it back, and use God's Word to understand what He is saying. 


The Wheat and the Tares

Jesus tells us about the two harvests coming into maturity in Matthew 13:24 with the parable of the Wheat and the Tares. Both come into full maturity at the end of the age. Both groups will start to come to the fore over these next few months and begin to activate in 2021. We must get ourselves ready.

 

2021 is made up of 20 and 21. According to E.W. Bullinger in his book “Numbers in Scripture”, 20 means a time of expectancy and waiting. How many of us have been waiting? Well, I would like to suggest that the waiting is over. 20 being one short of 21, three-fold of 7.


3x7=21, which signifies Divine (3) completion as regards spiritual perfection (7). I believe that the Man Child of Revelation 12, 144,000 of Revelation 7 for Israel, and the 144,000 redeemed from man in Revelation 14 will start to come forward in order to help the Bride to prepare Herself for His return. 


Brothers and Sisters, we are a lot further into this than the majority of the church may believe, and we must now wait on the Lord and gain His direction, because God is about to fulfil His plans and His purposes through a body of people who are ‘Kingdom’ minded.

 

Revelation 22:17

And the Spirit and the bride say “Come!”

 

The Temple will be filled with His Glory

The Lord is about to fill this “Temple”. Which Temple? You and me. What will we be filled with? Him in us, the mystery Paul wrote about:

 

Col 1:26-27

The mystery which has been hidden from ages and from generations, but now has been revealed to His saints. To them God willed to make known what are the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles: which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.

 

You may feel ill equipped in your own strength, but where your heart, soul, mind and will say 'YES' to the Lord Jesus Christ, then be encouraged! 

His strength and grace will come upon you, He will continue to lead you through this maturing process. Say YES to Him today!
