Sid: My guest Pastor David Jones February 2012 he had an open vision on what the Bible refers to as the Day of the Lord. There’s not a whole lot of teaching about the Day of the Lord. There’s not a whole lot of mention of about the Day of the Lord except in the Bible. But David found himself in this open vision observing people, and describe one more time for me David when the people the terror on their faces and they’re so caught by surprise not thinking that this would come.
David: It was like all the talk about Jesus is coming, Jesus is coming all this talk it has finally happened and it’s happening right before our very eyes. They were in total disbelief, they were in total shock that all of these years of going by saying “Jesus is coming” it has come and everything was so happening so fast Sid that they couldn’t even think straight. Things was happening so fast that it was total perplexity, total horror, total terror in everyone’s heart.
Sid: Now, the thing that got me is the people said “I thought I had more time.” Well, describe their faces when they said that.
David: It was just total interruption in their lives, their life had been interrupted and now he’s facing the Mighty God, now he’s facing the Lord Jesus coming so speedily and he thought he had more time. And that’s what a lot of people are saying “Oh, I got time I’m still young.” But the Bible says “Serve the Lord in the days of your youth because the evil days are joining now. Remember your creator in the days of your youth.” It caught him totally off guard.
Sid: Okay, you had this open vision, you’re now alert, you’re now processing to the best of your ability what just occurred. Tell me… you had said the first thing that you did was pray for yourself. What do you mean by that?
David: I could sense and feel what everyone was feeling even though I was hovering about 200 feet in the air.
Sid: You actually could feel their feelings?
David: I could feel their feelings even though I was there but I wasn’t a part of what was happening He was just showing me everything. He was just like He catapulted me right there but I sensed and feel everything such horror. So those emotions were still on me and I begin to search my own heart. Sid I know I’m saved, I know that I’m filled with the Holy Spirit with the evidence of speaking in the heavenly language as the Spirit of God gives utterance. BUT! I had to search my own heart, I didn’t look at my wife, my children. I start searching my own heart and I start saying “God forgive me for all trespasses and sins; forgive me for confessed sin and un-confessed sin. God forgive me God; I want to be counted worthy to go back with You; please Lord!” I begin to look at my own humanity.
Sid: Now as your repenting before God God showed you you were supposed to be praying for a particular group of people. For pastors, why would he have you praying for pastors?
David: Because the pastors are the voice of God; they are the spokesmen of God. They are the ones that preach the gospel or suppose to preach the gospel and give people the whole truth. And the Bible says “You shall know truth and the truth shall make you free.” Only the truth that you know, and God is holding all pastors, apostles and prophets and evangelists and pastors and teachers responsible for giving people the truth. A lot of time people are bound in their heart and in their mind and in their soul. But when they hear the truth freedom comes, deliverance comes.
Sid: Now after that vision you began to research what the Bible has to say about the Day of the Lord.”
David: Yes.
Sid: What did you find?
David: I found in the Book of Joel the 2nd Chapter God begin to give me scripture and it reads as thus “Joel 2:1 “Blow ye the trumpet in Zion.” And that’s what I’m doing right now on this radio show. “Blow ye the trumpet of Zion, sound the alarm in My holy mountain; let all the inhabitants of the land tremble for the day of the Lord cometh for it is now at hand; a day of darkness and a day of gloominess and a day of clouds and thick darkness as the morning spreads upon a mountain; as a great people and nation strong. There has never been any like neither shall there be any more after it. Even the years of many generations of fire devoured before them. And behind a flame burneth and the land in the Garden of Eden and before them; and behind them a desolated wilderness; yeah nothing shall escape them. The appearance of them is as appearance of horses and as horsemen so shall they run. Like the noise of chariots on top of mountains they shall leap; like a noise of a flame; like fire devoured the stubble as a strong people set in battle in array. Before their faces shall be much pain; all faces shall gather blackness.” This is what I’ve seen upon the faces of the people, total horror. “They shall run like mighty men, they shall climb the walls like men of war. They shall march everyone on their way; they shall not break their ranks neither shall one thrust another. They shall walk everyone in his path when they fall upon this sword they shall not be wounded. They shall run to and fro in the city, they shall run upon the walls; they shall run upon the houses; they shall enter into the windows like a thief and the earth shall quake before them and the heaven shall tremble. And the sun and the moon shall be dark and the stars shall not withdraw their shining. And the Lord shall utter His voice before His army, for his camp is very great for He is strong that executeth His word for the Day of the Lord is great and very terrible, who can abide it?” That’s just one scripture, do you want more?
Sid: I’ll tell you what I want to know is shortly after you had that open vision I had an amazing dream from God. And in the dream God spoke to me and He said “Three times I’m coming back soon, I’m coming back soon, I’m coming back soon.” Now I have to tell you I knew that it was possible for Him to come back soon, but I didn’t really believe it was going to be so soon.
David: Yes.
Sid: And between your open vision and what I heard, what has God called you to do with this vision now?
David: He told me, I charge you. He gave me a charge to warn all mankind that “I’m coming, that I’m coming, that I’m coming.” And Jesus said “I’m coming in an hour and at a time when man least expects it. And if Jesus said He’s coming in an hour and at a time when man least expects it. Sid it’s going to be exactly that at an hour and at a time when man least expects it!
Sid: Now when you share your vision before people you tell me that people start wailing and tell me the reaction of people when they hear this with the presence of God and the force of God behind this vision.
David: They start wailing and screaming, they start wailing and screaming. I didn’t understand it at first. And I began to inquire of the Lord I said “God what’s going on; why is people wailing and screaming and men screaming like women. I said “I’d never seen them, like big football players just wailing and screaming and running to the altars.” And He said “Didn’t you wail after you came out of the vision?” I said “Oh my Lord yes I did, I wailed and travailed,” I wailed for 2 hours. God had me praying for preachers all over the world the proclaimers of the gospel of the good news. And as the people began to wail and scream strong conviction came upon their hearts, strong conviction of repentance. What is repentance? A change of mind and action.
Sid: Most people don’t even hear messages on repentance; they hear messages and rightfully so, on the wonderful grace of God. And rightfully so, but they don’t hear about repent… John the Baptist message, repent of your sins!
David: Yes.
Sid: Why is that?
David: That’s a good question, even Jesus and John the Baptist came “Repent ye for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.” And when they asked Peter and the rest of the apostles “What shall we do?” He said “Repent ye. Right now.” Number 1 repentance, a change of mind and a change of action. If you don’t repent there’s not… I mean true repentance is a truly a change of mind and action; you go another way. Sid let me show you a New Testament scripture about repentance and the Day of the Lord. 2nd Peter 3:8 “But beloved be not ignorant of this one thing that one day with the Lord is as a thousand years; and a thousand years as one day. The Lord is not slack concerning His promises as mean count slackness, but is long suffering to us-ward and willing that any should perish but all come to repentance. But the day of the Lord shall come as a thief in the night in which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise and the elements shall melt with a fervent heat. The earth and all the works shall therein shall be burnt up.”
Sid: The Bible says “He who wins souls is wise.” The truth is very few Christians do this; this is a New Year’s Resolution for you I want you to take souls to heaven…
