The Prophecy Of The Fanner's
The fanning spirits
are alive and are currently operating in America!
Jeremiah 51:1-2 Thus saith the LORD; Behold, I will raise up against Babylon, and against them that dwell in the midst of them that rise up against me, a destroying wind; And will send unto Babylon fanner's, that shall fan her, and shall empty her land: for in the day of trouble they shall be against her round about.
The story here is about the judgment of God upon ancient Babylon. But it could just as easily apply to the judgment of God upon any Babylon, including the Babylon that is called the United States of America, the one in which I happen to live. The students of the Bible know that there is a judgment prophesied upon the great whore of the Book of Revelation.
Revelation 18:2-3 And he called out with a mighty voice, "Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great! She has become a dwelling place
for demons, a haunt for every unclean spirit, a haunt for every
unclean bird, a haunt for every unclean and detestable beast.
For all nations have drunk the wine of the passion of
her sexual immorality, and the kings of the earth have committed
immorality with her, and the merchants of the earth have
grown rich from the power of her luxurious living."
Rev 18:19-20 And they threw dust on their heads as they wept
and mourned, crying out, "Alas, alas, for the great city where all
who had ships at sea grew rich by her wealth! For in a single hour
she has been laid waste. Rejoice over her, O heaven, and you saints and
apostles and prophets, for God has given judgment for you against her!"
I am not presenting an argument here that America is the Babylon referred to in the Book of Revelation, because I think that is a false way to interpret the vision on Patmos. There are many Babylons just like there are "many anti-Christs" throughout history (1John 2:18). They come and go, according to the will of the Lord. The book of Revelation is not exclusively about final trumpets, final horse riders, final churches, final candlesticks, final vials, final antichrists, final judgments, or final Babylons at the end of History. These things may have a final application, but their continuous application is far more significant. These things are present historical realities now, and not just future events. Sticking the visions of the book of Revelation off in some distant future, robs them of their present importance, which is actually what gives them all their real significance to us and to the first century Christians as well. The Apocalypse was sent to them, because it applied to them. Even so it applies to every age of church history. It is false doctrine to stick the book of revelation exclusively off into the distant future. It concerns "the things that are" just as much as it concerns "the things which shall be hereafter" (Revelation 1:19) It is about all these things throughout history, wherever they appear, in any time or in any society. That's why I say that America is a Babylon, in the same sense as ancient Babylon and in the same sense as Babylon the great Mother of Harlots in Revelation. This is not however, a study in prophecy, or interpretation of the Book of Revelation. It is an observation about how God is judging America right now. I submit that the evil fanning spirits are among us right now.
There are several things that I want you to notice about Babylon, it's correspondence to America, and the fanning spirits of judgment.
First. Babylon became great exclusively because of God,
even though they were a pagan city-state.
Jeremiah 51:7 Babylon was a golden cup in the Lord's hand,
making all the earth drunken; the nations drank of her wine;
therefore the nations went mad.
God established and used Babylon, as a golden cup in his hand, because ultimately He was going to bring
judgment upon her, upon other nations, and upon His own people through her. He caused her greatness to cause her demise. He brought her to glory to cast her down before the watching world. God created her, just so that all the nations would be drunk by her intoxication and would be mad in their pursuit of all things ungodly and unholy.
Christians have a tendency to view nations and paganism, as something outside of the affairs of God, and this is most unfortunate and most incorrect. God creates and uses evil governments and nations throughout human history. Sometimes raising them up just to bring them against His own dear people, as a judgment for their backsliding, as when Israel was carried into foreign captivity. Those cases were not cases of evil triumphing over good, they were cases of God using evil to judge His own people for their benefit and for His own immutable purposes. Do not think wrongly about how God uses evil for His own ends. Evil, just like everything else, glorifies God, because it fits perfectly into the sequence that brings maximum glory to Himself. We don't need to understand the why and the how, but we need to understand that all things exist "by Him and For Him" (Colossians 1:16). That's why He created it in the first place. If you attribute the work of God to Satan, you are robbing God of an important part of the glory that belongs to Him alone. Babylon was a golden cup in God's hand, even though it was one of the most godless and evil of all pagan kingdoms. You don't need to understand how this is possible, you just need to understand that God says it, and it is so. The same is true of America.
We have been a fabulously endowed nation, raised up by God, guided along our course by the Almighty, and now we are the worlds great Babylon. God made us the golden cup that we are, and our alabaster cities are now the holds of every unclean bird, and all sorts of evil spirits. The nations converse with us. The nations are fed by us, and the whole earth is intoxicated by the wine of our technologies and by the money of our prosperity. But all of this is by the Lord, and not by our own ingenuity devices or strength. All this is also for the Lord, and it really has little to do with us. God's purposes always supersede and over-reign any and all human purposes.
"...The LORD has both planned and done what he spoke concerning the inhabitants of Babylon. O you who dwell by many waters, rich in treasures, your end has come; the thread of your life is cut" (Jeremiah 51:12-13).
Second. Just as Ancient Babylon was judged,
so the American Babylon is even now being judged.
Jeremiah 51:37-43 and Babylon shall become a heap of ruins,
the haunt of jackals, a horror and a hissing, without inhabitant.
"They shall roar together like lions; they shall growl like lions' cubs.
While they are inflamed I will prepare them a feast and make them drunk,
that they may become merry, then sleep a perpetual sleep and not wake,
declares the LORD. I will bring them down like lambs to the slaughter,
like rams and male goats. "How Babylon is taken, the praise of the whole
earth seized! How Babylon has become a horror among the nations!
The sea has come up on Babylon; she is covered with its tumultuous waves.
Her cities have become a horror, a land of drought and a desert,
a land in which no one dwells, and through which no son of man passes.
The judgment upon Babylon is inevitable. It shall be accomplished today just like it was accomplished of old. What was once, shall be again. To use a modern cliche... "what goes around comes around"! That is an apt description of Jehovah's cycles of judgment upon nations, and particularly this cycle of judgment upon America.
Behold, the fanner's have already arrived!
Jeremiah 51:2 And will send unto Babylon fanner's,
that shall fan her, and shall empty her land: for in the
day of trouble they shall be against her round about.
Understand the idea that Jeremiah conveys. Whenever the wheat was to be processed in the Biblical manner it was winnowed. This involved tossing the grain into the air, allowing the wind to separate the chaff from the wheat. Whenever the wind was blowing, the chaff would blow away, and the wheat would be left to fall by itself, back to the threshing floor. The idea of the fanner's, was that when there was not enough wind to separate the chaff from the wheat, these special people would take large fans and create an artificial wind to get the job of winnowing done.
Here are some keys to understanding.
1. The real wind represents the Holy Spirit and his work.
2. The fanner's represent a false wind, a wind created by evil men who are too impatient and greedy to wait for God to do the blowing. They take all the matters into their own hands.
3. The fanner's get their job done through human means without any need for the Holy Spirit.
4. The processing by fanner's, instead of by the Spirit, is always a symbol of divine judgment.
5. When you see them, you should recognize them for what they are. They are agents of Satan sent to foist deception upon the masses, and they are also simultaneously agents of the Most High God, sent to deliver his judgement to his people and to their nation. God sends the strong delusion that blows in their winds, because He is tired of a church and a people who have no genuine wind from on high. Judgment from God is the alternative to the Baptism of the Holy Spirit. If you have no true power from on high, you will have false power from without! The fanner's are the nails for the coffin in the judgement of the great whore.
Here are illustrative references, showing the process of judgement by fanning.
Matthew 3:11-12 I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance:
but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not
worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire:
Whose fan is in his hand, and he will throughly purge his floor, and
gather his wheat into the garner; but he will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.
Jeremiah 15:6-7 Thou hast forsaken me, saith the LORD, thou art gone backward:
therefore will I stretch out my hand against thee, and destroy thee;
I am weary with repenting. And I will fan them with a fan in the gates of the land;
I will bereave them of children, I will destroy my people, since they return not from their ways.
Let me point out a few of the religious fanner's that have already been sent by God to America. They speed up the judgment process that has already started. They are very busy, fanning, blowing, huffing and puffing, but nothing they do is a genuine wind from the Holy Spirit. They are fanning as a form of divine judgement, and if you look about you will see them everywhere. They pretend to do the work of the Spirit, but they are all about the flesh. They do the work of their father the devil, and while they pledge allegiance to him, by their negligence and disrespect of the truth, they are at the very same time, unwittingly the agents of God sent for the final destruction of America. Do not be deceived by them. They are agents of destruction and judgement from God, because God's people have prostituted the faith which was once delivered unto the saints. When we stray as we have, and do not repent and seek out the Lord, He sends the fanner's to judge us and our nation. They have already arrived. Look and you will see lots of them, even more than I point out here. These perilous times are going to get a lot worse, because God's people have not been faithful.
Now look, and you will see these people all around America right now, fanning and blowing the very winds of destruction through every community, town, city and hamlet. Look Here are some of the fanner's of judgment.
1. The false gifts fanner's.
These people are always faining and fawning over signs and wonders that are not of actual Holy Spirit origin. These are the ones with gifts that cannot be found in the Bible, like slaying in the spirit, gold dust, drunken laughter etc. These are the ones who insist that everybody is supposed to be healed, and that sickness is never from God. These are the super-spirituals who have faith to move mountains, but have never moved so much as a speck of sawdust. They are fanner's, because they seek to blow the wind of the Spirit, without actually having the wind of the Spirit. Millions are sucked in and blown astray by their deceptions. They are the chaff, and these evil fanner's who presume to do the Holy Spirits work without Him, will be consumed by the fire of judgement, just like the rest of the chaff.
2. The false prophet fanner's.
These fanner's have arrived by the thousands in America. They occupy pulpits in churches everywhere. They fill up the broadcasting airwaves and internet. It's next to impossible to go anywhere and not find them. They are a false wind, blowing everything about, stirring up all sorts of chaos and spiritual apostasy, because they preach a message of their own creation. They have forsaken the truth, they have forsaken the gospel and grace of God, in exchange for a mess of pottage. They sold their birthright to the con-artist who taught them the false doctrines that they now hold so dear. Their heresies and mind-boggling doctrines are fanning the fires of hell which shall soon receive them and all their followers. They are the blind guides leading the blind masses into the pit. They're everywhere. Beware. And Be aware!
3. The political militant fanner's.
These are the people, many of whom are ex-preachers and former-pastors, who seek to speed along the cause of justice and righteousness, through politics and political agendas. The old fashioned gospel is not good enough for them. They have to use politics because the winds of the Holy Spirit are insufficient to get the job done. They are fanner's among us, because their wind is not authorized by the Holy Spirit. They blow in order to subdue government and whip it into the shape that they think it ought to be in. Their goal is the Christianization of Washington, and it is these fanner's (both right wing and left wing), who have left off preaching truth, and taken up issues, that God could care less about. All they are doing is making things much worse, and speeding up our judgment from God, because they have confused Christ's church and God's state. God does not authorize them, or their agenda. Washington is not our church if we are Christians. It's under the direct control of Go, without the church, and without their knowledge. The government is on His shoulders (Isaiah 9:6), so it need not be upon ours as believers. We need to come out from her, that we be not partakers of her sins. These fanner's want to blow the wind of Christianity where it is not supposed to blow, and as such, they are false winds, blowing by activism and extremism, and not at all God's wind of the Holy Spirit.
4. The sexual sin fanner's.
These have firmly taken their places within the churches. They ignore God's distinctions between the sexes. They ordain women to be pastors. They welcome practicing homosexuals to their pulpits. They hang rainbow coalition flags over their church doors, and march in the filth parades for gay Pride in the name of Christ. Sexual pervsions of every kind are permitted, and even embraced as healthy and normal lifestyles. And these are churches, promoting this stuff, not whore houses or dens of iniquity! These rare churches? What's happened? Anybody can see this stuff. These are strong flesh powered winds of decadence and decay, moral rot and pollution in the land, but they are not the winds of Christ, truth or the holy Spirit. They fan to our destruction, and many of us have taken up their warped causes along side them. We fan right along with them, if we do not stand against them. They are agents sent to judge our nation, through pornography, human degradation, promiscuity and raw filth. These fanner's are everywhere, and they come right into your home over the internet and television. Surely if you cannot see them you are very very blind indeed. Maybe they have already consumed your brain with their rot and filth. God forbid, I hope not.
5. The popularity contest fanner's.
You can recognize these guys and gals with their big smiles, their oozing self-confidence and their numerous best-selling self-help and positive thinking books, and their false prosperity gospel. They're always on the New York Times best sellers list. These are the fanner's who jet around the country on private jets, and pastor mega-churches and are the CEO's of super-companies, profiteering on the plight and hunger of the masses. They feed us a constant whirlwind of ignorance and prosperity nonsense. They tell us how to live our best lives now, and how to park numerous luxury cars in our garages, and how to fill up our bank accounts to overflowing, while people perish all around us from both physical and spiritual hunger. They are experts at tickling the ears of their hearers with gentle breezes from the false doctrine fans, and they make everybody feel good by telling them what they want to hear. Their fans are in their hands everywhere they go, plowing millions into their coffers, as they rake from the fools who gladly give to them. Their phone operators are always standing by to process your credit cards and take your pledges, which pay for more fans in the kingdom of their destructiveness and hatred for truth. When you contribute and condone these money grabbing winnowers of destruction, you are removing both yourself and your country even further from God and you are joining them in tossing everything of any real value to the winds of greed and death. Go ahead and eat their forbidden fruit, because you need to join them quickly if you really want to seal your own destruction also, and betray the Christ who died to save men by blood, not by bank accounts. Go Ahead, these fanner's have operators standing by! ready to hear you pledge allegiance to the destruction of your land, and the eradication of all truth from our shores. Go ahead, make your pledge. They will take any amount $100, $200, $5,000, $25,000. "Sorry no donations accepted under $100. Operators are ready to take your call. Your personalized fan will be sent out immediately, so you can join in the wonderful blessedness of fanning your country to destruction. We know you will be just as big a blessing in this powerful wind as we are". Go ahead and join them if you are so blind that you cannot see what they are doing. You will be welcome, and will have a real sense of purpose when you start supporting them instead of the struggling churches in your neighborhood. They need to add another Jet to their fleet, and you can just go right on ignoring the poor and sick all around you. You will be blessed for doing such good!
6. The false science fanner's.
These are those who are always trying to fit the Bible into the mold of their false science. There is no science and no truth but God's science and God's truth. And we do not force him to conform to Newton, Kepler, Einstein, Hawking or Dawkins. Science always conforms to Him, regardless of what intellectuals think they have discovered apart from him. They have discovered nothing without Him. And everything they have discovered without giving glory and honor too him, will be shoved in their faces on judgement day. The Christianized version of these fanner's, have tried to blow the winds of evolution, theory, speculation and unbelief on every page of the sacred text, and their windstorm has reached a fiery pitch in our day. Don't listen to one word of their nonsense. Flee. Get out of Babylon. Have no fellowship with their unfruitful works of darkness.
7. The Scripture-twisting fanner's
These guys have one agenda. To twist the Bible, to pull and torture every last shred of sensibility and meaning out of it, so that it's doctrines become unrecognizable and worthless. This is a direct assault on the basis of our faith. Every time they blow a verse out from it's context, every time they inflate a doctrine beyond it's true scope and meaning, every time they read into the Bible preconceived notions and mindsets that affect their interpretation, they are attacking the true basis of Christianity. When they blow the loudest you can always hear the words, "Well, that's my view." "You have your view and I have mine". "We just have to agree to disagree", and other unintelligible drivel that allows them to directly contradict the Bible. The Scripture twisting fanner's are anybody and everybody who tries to wiggle out of the plain and simple statements of the Bible. The next group of fanner's are part of this group as well. As a matter of fact most of the fanner's are members of the Scripture twisters.
8. The free-will fanner's
These are the people who assert that the principle motion in the universe is human free-will. God cannot do anything that violates this all-important doctrine. All doctrines are interpreted through this lens, because free-will is an inalienable right. All men are endowed by their creator with it, and therefore it must be exercised above everything else. These guys are members of the Scripture twisting spirits, because their doctrine cannot be found anywhere in the Bible. It is a purely humanistic idea, which they read into everything, because it is convenient to do that, rather than to actually consider the Biblical view that men are created for one purpose, to glorify God in everything. When the Bible teaches that men are 100% dependent creatures, they twist the Scriptures to concoct the notion that men are 100% independent creatures. They deny every major Bible doctrine by asserting this one man-made humanistic premise. They deny election, predestination, the Sovereignty of God, the independence of God, the glory of God, the necessity for the atonement, the efficacious nature of the atonement, the doctrine of salvation, the deity of Christ, the trinity. Every doctrine is denied when human free-will is asserted. Yet, these fanner's are so thorough in their pollution that most Christians automatically side with their godless theology. They would rather embrace and endorse every known heresy spawned by Satan; than to believe that God is actually in control of all things, and that man has actually been created to serve as puppets on strings and robots in the service of God. Heresy is always better than truth with these fanner's. They fan incessantly even though not one verse of Scripture supports the idea of free-will.
9. The anything goes fanner's
This group is closely associated with the free-will fanner's, because if men have free will, then every man is entitled to "do that which is right in his own eyes" (Judges 17:6; 21:25; Proverbs 12:15; 21:2). This opens the door for the wonderful liberating doctrine of "anything goes". The "anything goer's" are the modern antinomian's, whose philosophy denies absolutes, denies morality, denies God's laws; and functions on the basis of PLEASURE, POWER, APPROVAL and LUST. These fanner's have done a great job in both our society and in our churches. These guys are the reason we now ordain women pastors, practicing homosexual church leaders, and why we now marry homosexual couples thinking that this is a normal form of marriage. These guys have removed all "norms and standards" from both church and society. Anything goes, because if it feels good do it. Beware of these evil fanner's who have been among us since the sixties.
10. The different strokes fanner's.
These fanner spirits are not quite the same as the anything goes. These guys are a little more subtle, in fact they openly endorse morality and norms and standards, they just believe that everyone chooses which norms and standards best fit them. These are the evolutionists in society, who believe that different people are at different places in their evolutionary journey, and that what is good for one may not necessarily be good for the other. To these people love and compassion are the supreme motivation to allow anybody to do whatever they want. If you really love somebody, you will never be harsh, judgmental, or critical of them or their personal preferences. After all it is live and let live. As long as they are not hurting anyone else. The compassion argument is used to offer a form of protection from the actual consequences of this reprobate philosophy. "As long as they aren't hurting anyone else" allows them to do whatever they want until they themselves pass the bounds of love and compassion and start hurting somebody. Of course this who mess is subjective, because who defines what hurts somebody else. Supposedly the laws of the land set the definitions. That's why the different strokes people, support abortion, euthanasia, assisted suicide, publicly funded sex change operations etc. The laws in their society define hurting arbitrarily, and without reference to God's absolutes, and that translates to something that is nothing more than controlled anarchy, and moderated rebellion against God. But it is still anarchy and rebellion just the same.
CONCLUSION:
I have only touched the tip of the iceberg in this brief discussion of how these evil fanning spirits are now operating among us. There are many more of them that I have not revealed her, but I have shown enough of their insidious and subtle tendency to blow apart the stability and normalcy of both church and state that any reader should be able to see that the cycle of judgment from God has began in earnest. Prior to this time, there was ample opportunity for America and it's churches to repent, and to seek the true winds of spiritual revival and renewal from on high. But we have now moved beyond that. This study is prophetic, because there is now no turning back. We have passed the point of no return. Divine judgment has already begun.
These matters are extremely serious. If you are a Christian, there is now very little that you can do to save your land. I am not saying that it is absolutely hopeless, because there is always hope and mercy in God. But I am saying that I believe we have already crossed the point of no return. The presence of so many of these fanner's among us, is a clear indication that now it is time to sound the alarm for the remaining faithful, to come out from her, and flee from her abominations. Prophecy has now shifted from warning and pleading for repentance, to warning and pleading for the righteous to remove themselves from harms way. You better open your ears and eyes if you are a true believer, and hear what the Lord is saying in all these things. Prophetically it is time to flee Sodom (Isaiah 1:9) and don't look back (Luke 17:32). The hope is not for the land, it is for you as a true believer. God has not forsaken you, even though He has forsaken your country. Look.
Jeremiah 51:5-6 For Israel hath not been forsaken, nor Judah of his God,
of the LORD of hosts; though their land was filled with sin against the Holy
One of Israel. Flee out of the midst of Babylon, and deliver every man his
soul: be not cut off in her iniquity; for this is the time of the LORD'S
vengeance; he will render unto her a recompense.
If you love Christ, get yourself and those whom you love out of harms way. Flee the false teachers, the false prophets, the scoundrels who bring upon their own heads swift destruction, the fanning spirits that are now on every hand. Flee! Take a stand against them and remove yourself from them. Flee out of the midst of Babylon. This does not mean that you will flee to a survival shelter someplace in the mountains. That's not what I am talking about. There is no place to hide from God's wrath, except in the bosom of His love... Christ Jesus. Christ is the shelter from this storm, not some survivalist cabin in the hills and caves of the earth. The survivalists are extremist nuts, who do not trust God or read their Bibles, but who imagine that they can protect themselves fro God's wrath and judgment when it falls. The survivalists are also fanner's, don't listen to them. Listen to God, and flee to Him alone. Protection from divine judgement is not locational, it is spiritual. It means you remove yourself from all their falsehoods, and you disassociate yourself with their churches, which have become synagogues of Satan. Search out a church where Christ is still honored, where His word is still preached, and where the winds of the Spirit actually blow. That's where you flee to! Get out of Babylon and the company of the evil fanner's, and flee to the rock that is higher than yourself. Flee to the people of truth, the godly remnant. Search them out, find them and join with them. Associate with them! Enter their protective fold. Pray with them, even if it means you have to drive 50 or 60 miles to attend church. Flee, even if it means that you have to join a small house church, or start one yourself. Whatever you do get out of Babylon. Now is the time for fleeing. Now is the time to quit trying to reason with fools, and to quit casting pearls before swine, and to wipe the dust off your shoes as you turn to run from them. Whatever you have to do, get as far away spiritually from these fanner's as you possibly can.
are alive and are currently operating in America!
Jeremiah 51:1-2 Thus saith the LORD; Behold, I will raise up against Babylon, and against them that dwell in the midst of them that rise up against me, a destroying wind; And will send unto Babylon fanner's, that shall fan her, and shall empty her land: for in the day of trouble they shall be against her round about.
The story here is about the judgment of God upon ancient Babylon. But it could just as easily apply to the judgment of God upon any Babylon, including the Babylon that is called the United States of America, the one in which I happen to live. The students of the Bible know that there is a judgment prophesied upon the great whore of the Book of Revelation.
Revelation 18:2-3 And he called out with a mighty voice, "Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great! She has become a dwelling place
for demons, a haunt for every unclean spirit, a haunt for every
unclean bird, a haunt for every unclean and detestable beast.
For all nations have drunk the wine of the passion of
her sexual immorality, and the kings of the earth have committed
immorality with her, and the merchants of the earth have
grown rich from the power of her luxurious living."
Rev 18:19-20 And they threw dust on their heads as they wept
and mourned, crying out, "Alas, alas, for the great city where all
who had ships at sea grew rich by her wealth! For in a single hour
she has been laid waste. Rejoice over her, O heaven, and you saints and
apostles and prophets, for God has given judgment for you against her!"
I am not presenting an argument here that America is the Babylon referred to in the Book of Revelation, because I think that is a false way to interpret the vision on Patmos. There are many Babylons just like there are "many anti-Christs" throughout history (1John 2:18). They come and go, according to the will of the Lord. The book of Revelation is not exclusively about final trumpets, final horse riders, final churches, final candlesticks, final vials, final antichrists, final judgments, or final Babylons at the end of History. These things may have a final application, but their continuous application is far more significant. These things are present historical realities now, and not just future events. Sticking the visions of the book of Revelation off in some distant future, robs them of their present importance, which is actually what gives them all their real significance to us and to the first century Christians as well. The Apocalypse was sent to them, because it applied to them. Even so it applies to every age of church history. It is false doctrine to stick the book of revelation exclusively off into the distant future. It concerns "the things that are" just as much as it concerns "the things which shall be hereafter" (Revelation 1:19) It is about all these things throughout history, wherever they appear, in any time or in any society. That's why I say that America is a Babylon, in the same sense as ancient Babylon and in the same sense as Babylon the great Mother of Harlots in Revelation. This is not however, a study in prophecy, or interpretation of the Book of Revelation. It is an observation about how God is judging America right now. I submit that the evil fanning spirits are among us right now.
There are several things that I want you to notice about Babylon, it's correspondence to America, and the fanning spirits of judgment.
First. Babylon became great exclusively because of God,
even though they were a pagan city-state.
Jeremiah 51:7 Babylon was a golden cup in the Lord's hand,
making all the earth drunken; the nations drank of her wine;
therefore the nations went mad.
God established and used Babylon, as a golden cup in his hand, because ultimately He was going to bring
judgment upon her, upon other nations, and upon His own people through her. He caused her greatness to cause her demise. He brought her to glory to cast her down before the watching world. God created her, just so that all the nations would be drunk by her intoxication and would be mad in their pursuit of all things ungodly and unholy.
Christians have a tendency to view nations and paganism, as something outside of the affairs of God, and this is most unfortunate and most incorrect. God creates and uses evil governments and nations throughout human history. Sometimes raising them up just to bring them against His own dear people, as a judgment for their backsliding, as when Israel was carried into foreign captivity. Those cases were not cases of evil triumphing over good, they were cases of God using evil to judge His own people for their benefit and for His own immutable purposes. Do not think wrongly about how God uses evil for His own ends. Evil, just like everything else, glorifies God, because it fits perfectly into the sequence that brings maximum glory to Himself. We don't need to understand the why and the how, but we need to understand that all things exist "by Him and For Him" (Colossians 1:16). That's why He created it in the first place. If you attribute the work of God to Satan, you are robbing God of an important part of the glory that belongs to Him alone. Babylon was a golden cup in God's hand, even though it was one of the most godless and evil of all pagan kingdoms. You don't need to understand how this is possible, you just need to understand that God says it, and it is so. The same is true of America.
We have been a fabulously endowed nation, raised up by God, guided along our course by the Almighty, and now we are the worlds great Babylon. God made us the golden cup that we are, and our alabaster cities are now the holds of every unclean bird, and all sorts of evil spirits. The nations converse with us. The nations are fed by us, and the whole earth is intoxicated by the wine of our technologies and by the money of our prosperity. But all of this is by the Lord, and not by our own ingenuity devices or strength. All this is also for the Lord, and it really has little to do with us. God's purposes always supersede and over-reign any and all human purposes.
"...The LORD has both planned and done what he spoke concerning the inhabitants of Babylon. O you who dwell by many waters, rich in treasures, your end has come; the thread of your life is cut" (Jeremiah 51:12-13).
Second. Just as Ancient Babylon was judged,
so the American Babylon is even now being judged.
Jeremiah 51:37-43 and Babylon shall become a heap of ruins,
the haunt of jackals, a horror and a hissing, without inhabitant.
"They shall roar together like lions; they shall growl like lions' cubs.
While they are inflamed I will prepare them a feast and make them drunk,
that they may become merry, then sleep a perpetual sleep and not wake,
declares the LORD. I will bring them down like lambs to the slaughter,
like rams and male goats. "How Babylon is taken, the praise of the whole
earth seized! How Babylon has become a horror among the nations!
The sea has come up on Babylon; she is covered with its tumultuous waves.
Her cities have become a horror, a land of drought and a desert,
a land in which no one dwells, and through which no son of man passes.
The judgment upon Babylon is inevitable. It shall be accomplished today just like it was accomplished of old. What was once, shall be again. To use a modern cliche... "what goes around comes around"! That is an apt description of Jehovah's cycles of judgment upon nations, and particularly this cycle of judgment upon America.
Behold, the fanner's have already arrived!
Jeremiah 51:2 And will send unto Babylon fanner's,
that shall fan her, and shall empty her land: for in the
day of trouble they shall be against her round about.
Understand the idea that Jeremiah conveys. Whenever the wheat was to be processed in the Biblical manner it was winnowed. This involved tossing the grain into the air, allowing the wind to separate the chaff from the wheat. Whenever the wind was blowing, the chaff would blow away, and the wheat would be left to fall by itself, back to the threshing floor. The idea of the fanner's, was that when there was not enough wind to separate the chaff from the wheat, these special people would take large fans and create an artificial wind to get the job of winnowing done.
Here are some keys to understanding.
1. The real wind represents the Holy Spirit and his work.
2. The fanner's represent a false wind, a wind created by evil men who are too impatient and greedy to wait for God to do the blowing. They take all the matters into their own hands.
3. The fanner's get their job done through human means without any need for the Holy Spirit.
4. The processing by fanner's, instead of by the Spirit, is always a symbol of divine judgment.
5. When you see them, you should recognize them for what they are. They are agents of Satan sent to foist deception upon the masses, and they are also simultaneously agents of the Most High God, sent to deliver his judgement to his people and to their nation. God sends the strong delusion that blows in their winds, because He is tired of a church and a people who have no genuine wind from on high. Judgment from God is the alternative to the Baptism of the Holy Spirit. If you have no true power from on high, you will have false power from without! The fanner's are the nails for the coffin in the judgement of the great whore.
Here are illustrative references, showing the process of judgement by fanning.
Matthew 3:11-12 I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance:
but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not
worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire:
Whose fan is in his hand, and he will throughly purge his floor, and
gather his wheat into the garner; but he will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.
Jeremiah 15:6-7 Thou hast forsaken me, saith the LORD, thou art gone backward:
therefore will I stretch out my hand against thee, and destroy thee;
I am weary with repenting. And I will fan them with a fan in the gates of the land;
I will bereave them of children, I will destroy my people, since they return not from their ways.
Let me point out a few of the religious fanner's that have already been sent by God to America. They speed up the judgment process that has already started. They are very busy, fanning, blowing, huffing and puffing, but nothing they do is a genuine wind from the Holy Spirit. They are fanning as a form of divine judgement, and if you look about you will see them everywhere. They pretend to do the work of the Spirit, but they are all about the flesh. They do the work of their father the devil, and while they pledge allegiance to him, by their negligence and disrespect of the truth, they are at the very same time, unwittingly the agents of God sent for the final destruction of America. Do not be deceived by them. They are agents of destruction and judgement from God, because God's people have prostituted the faith which was once delivered unto the saints. When we stray as we have, and do not repent and seek out the Lord, He sends the fanner's to judge us and our nation. They have already arrived. Look and you will see lots of them, even more than I point out here. These perilous times are going to get a lot worse, because God's people have not been faithful.
Now look, and you will see these people all around America right now, fanning and blowing the very winds of destruction through every community, town, city and hamlet. Look Here are some of the fanner's of judgment.
1. The false gifts fanner's.
These people are always faining and fawning over signs and wonders that are not of actual Holy Spirit origin. These are the ones with gifts that cannot be found in the Bible, like slaying in the spirit, gold dust, drunken laughter etc. These are the ones who insist that everybody is supposed to be healed, and that sickness is never from God. These are the super-spirituals who have faith to move mountains, but have never moved so much as a speck of sawdust. They are fanner's, because they seek to blow the wind of the Spirit, without actually having the wind of the Spirit. Millions are sucked in and blown astray by their deceptions. They are the chaff, and these evil fanner's who presume to do the Holy Spirits work without Him, will be consumed by the fire of judgement, just like the rest of the chaff.
2. The false prophet fanner's.
These fanner's have arrived by the thousands in America. They occupy pulpits in churches everywhere. They fill up the broadcasting airwaves and internet. It's next to impossible to go anywhere and not find them. They are a false wind, blowing everything about, stirring up all sorts of chaos and spiritual apostasy, because they preach a message of their own creation. They have forsaken the truth, they have forsaken the gospel and grace of God, in exchange for a mess of pottage. They sold their birthright to the con-artist who taught them the false doctrines that they now hold so dear. Their heresies and mind-boggling doctrines are fanning the fires of hell which shall soon receive them and all their followers. They are the blind guides leading the blind masses into the pit. They're everywhere. Beware. And Be aware!
3. The political militant fanner's.
These are the people, many of whom are ex-preachers and former-pastors, who seek to speed along the cause of justice and righteousness, through politics and political agendas. The old fashioned gospel is not good enough for them. They have to use politics because the winds of the Holy Spirit are insufficient to get the job done. They are fanner's among us, because their wind is not authorized by the Holy Spirit. They blow in order to subdue government and whip it into the shape that they think it ought to be in. Their goal is the Christianization of Washington, and it is these fanner's (both right wing and left wing), who have left off preaching truth, and taken up issues, that God could care less about. All they are doing is making things much worse, and speeding up our judgment from God, because they have confused Christ's church and God's state. God does not authorize them, or their agenda. Washington is not our church if we are Christians. It's under the direct control of Go, without the church, and without their knowledge. The government is on His shoulders (Isaiah 9:6), so it need not be upon ours as believers. We need to come out from her, that we be not partakers of her sins. These fanner's want to blow the wind of Christianity where it is not supposed to blow, and as such, they are false winds, blowing by activism and extremism, and not at all God's wind of the Holy Spirit.
4. The sexual sin fanner's.
These have firmly taken their places within the churches. They ignore God's distinctions between the sexes. They ordain women to be pastors. They welcome practicing homosexuals to their pulpits. They hang rainbow coalition flags over their church doors, and march in the filth parades for gay Pride in the name of Christ. Sexual pervsions of every kind are permitted, and even embraced as healthy and normal lifestyles. And these are churches, promoting this stuff, not whore houses or dens of iniquity! These rare churches? What's happened? Anybody can see this stuff. These are strong flesh powered winds of decadence and decay, moral rot and pollution in the land, but they are not the winds of Christ, truth or the holy Spirit. They fan to our destruction, and many of us have taken up their warped causes along side them. We fan right along with them, if we do not stand against them. They are agents sent to judge our nation, through pornography, human degradation, promiscuity and raw filth. These fanner's are everywhere, and they come right into your home over the internet and television. Surely if you cannot see them you are very very blind indeed. Maybe they have already consumed your brain with their rot and filth. God forbid, I hope not.
5. The popularity contest fanner's.
You can recognize these guys and gals with their big smiles, their oozing self-confidence and their numerous best-selling self-help and positive thinking books, and their false prosperity gospel. They're always on the New York Times best sellers list. These are the fanner's who jet around the country on private jets, and pastor mega-churches and are the CEO's of super-companies, profiteering on the plight and hunger of the masses. They feed us a constant whirlwind of ignorance and prosperity nonsense. They tell us how to live our best lives now, and how to park numerous luxury cars in our garages, and how to fill up our bank accounts to overflowing, while people perish all around us from both physical and spiritual hunger. They are experts at tickling the ears of their hearers with gentle breezes from the false doctrine fans, and they make everybody feel good by telling them what they want to hear. Their fans are in their hands everywhere they go, plowing millions into their coffers, as they rake from the fools who gladly give to them. Their phone operators are always standing by to process your credit cards and take your pledges, which pay for more fans in the kingdom of their destructiveness and hatred for truth. When you contribute and condone these money grabbing winnowers of destruction, you are removing both yourself and your country even further from God and you are joining them in tossing everything of any real value to the winds of greed and death. Go ahead and eat their forbidden fruit, because you need to join them quickly if you really want to seal your own destruction also, and betray the Christ who died to save men by blood, not by bank accounts. Go Ahead, these fanner's have operators standing by! ready to hear you pledge allegiance to the destruction of your land, and the eradication of all truth from our shores. Go ahead, make your pledge. They will take any amount $100, $200, $5,000, $25,000. "Sorry no donations accepted under $100. Operators are ready to take your call. Your personalized fan will be sent out immediately, so you can join in the wonderful blessedness of fanning your country to destruction. We know you will be just as big a blessing in this powerful wind as we are". Go ahead and join them if you are so blind that you cannot see what they are doing. You will be welcome, and will have a real sense of purpose when you start supporting them instead of the struggling churches in your neighborhood. They need to add another Jet to their fleet, and you can just go right on ignoring the poor and sick all around you. You will be blessed for doing such good!
6. The false science fanner's.
These are those who are always trying to fit the Bible into the mold of their false science. There is no science and no truth but God's science and God's truth. And we do not force him to conform to Newton, Kepler, Einstein, Hawking or Dawkins. Science always conforms to Him, regardless of what intellectuals think they have discovered apart from him. They have discovered nothing without Him. And everything they have discovered without giving glory and honor too him, will be shoved in their faces on judgement day. The Christianized version of these fanner's, have tried to blow the winds of evolution, theory, speculation and unbelief on every page of the sacred text, and their windstorm has reached a fiery pitch in our day. Don't listen to one word of their nonsense. Flee. Get out of Babylon. Have no fellowship with their unfruitful works of darkness.
7. The Scripture-twisting fanner's
These guys have one agenda. To twist the Bible, to pull and torture every last shred of sensibility and meaning out of it, so that it's doctrines become unrecognizable and worthless. This is a direct assault on the basis of our faith. Every time they blow a verse out from it's context, every time they inflate a doctrine beyond it's true scope and meaning, every time they read into the Bible preconceived notions and mindsets that affect their interpretation, they are attacking the true basis of Christianity. When they blow the loudest you can always hear the words, "Well, that's my view." "You have your view and I have mine". "We just have to agree to disagree", and other unintelligible drivel that allows them to directly contradict the Bible. The Scripture twisting fanner's are anybody and everybody who tries to wiggle out of the plain and simple statements of the Bible. The next group of fanner's are part of this group as well. As a matter of fact most of the fanner's are members of the Scripture twisters.
8. The free-will fanner's
These are the people who assert that the principle motion in the universe is human free-will. God cannot do anything that violates this all-important doctrine. All doctrines are interpreted through this lens, because free-will is an inalienable right. All men are endowed by their creator with it, and therefore it must be exercised above everything else. These guys are members of the Scripture twisting spirits, because their doctrine cannot be found anywhere in the Bible. It is a purely humanistic idea, which they read into everything, because it is convenient to do that, rather than to actually consider the Biblical view that men are created for one purpose, to glorify God in everything. When the Bible teaches that men are 100% dependent creatures, they twist the Scriptures to concoct the notion that men are 100% independent creatures. They deny every major Bible doctrine by asserting this one man-made humanistic premise. They deny election, predestination, the Sovereignty of God, the independence of God, the glory of God, the necessity for the atonement, the efficacious nature of the atonement, the doctrine of salvation, the deity of Christ, the trinity. Every doctrine is denied when human free-will is asserted. Yet, these fanner's are so thorough in their pollution that most Christians automatically side with their godless theology. They would rather embrace and endorse every known heresy spawned by Satan; than to believe that God is actually in control of all things, and that man has actually been created to serve as puppets on strings and robots in the service of God. Heresy is always better than truth with these fanner's. They fan incessantly even though not one verse of Scripture supports the idea of free-will.
9. The anything goes fanner's
This group is closely associated with the free-will fanner's, because if men have free will, then every man is entitled to "do that which is right in his own eyes" (Judges 17:6; 21:25; Proverbs 12:15; 21:2). This opens the door for the wonderful liberating doctrine of "anything goes". The "anything goer's" are the modern antinomian's, whose philosophy denies absolutes, denies morality, denies God's laws; and functions on the basis of PLEASURE, POWER, APPROVAL and LUST. These fanner's have done a great job in both our society and in our churches. These guys are the reason we now ordain women pastors, practicing homosexual church leaders, and why we now marry homosexual couples thinking that this is a normal form of marriage. These guys have removed all "norms and standards" from both church and society. Anything goes, because if it feels good do it. Beware of these evil fanner's who have been among us since the sixties.
10. The different strokes fanner's.
These fanner spirits are not quite the same as the anything goes. These guys are a little more subtle, in fact they openly endorse morality and norms and standards, they just believe that everyone chooses which norms and standards best fit them. These are the evolutionists in society, who believe that different people are at different places in their evolutionary journey, and that what is good for one may not necessarily be good for the other. To these people love and compassion are the supreme motivation to allow anybody to do whatever they want. If you really love somebody, you will never be harsh, judgmental, or critical of them or their personal preferences. After all it is live and let live. As long as they are not hurting anyone else. The compassion argument is used to offer a form of protection from the actual consequences of this reprobate philosophy. "As long as they aren't hurting anyone else" allows them to do whatever they want until they themselves pass the bounds of love and compassion and start hurting somebody. Of course this who mess is subjective, because who defines what hurts somebody else. Supposedly the laws of the land set the definitions. That's why the different strokes people, support abortion, euthanasia, assisted suicide, publicly funded sex change operations etc. The laws in their society define hurting arbitrarily, and without reference to God's absolutes, and that translates to something that is nothing more than controlled anarchy, and moderated rebellion against God. But it is still anarchy and rebellion just the same.
CONCLUSION:
I have only touched the tip of the iceberg in this brief discussion of how these evil fanning spirits are now operating among us. There are many more of them that I have not revealed her, but I have shown enough of their insidious and subtle tendency to blow apart the stability and normalcy of both church and state that any reader should be able to see that the cycle of judgment from God has began in earnest. Prior to this time, there was ample opportunity for America and it's churches to repent, and to seek the true winds of spiritual revival and renewal from on high. But we have now moved beyond that. This study is prophetic, because there is now no turning back. We have passed the point of no return. Divine judgment has already begun.
These matters are extremely serious. If you are a Christian, there is now very little that you can do to save your land. I am not saying that it is absolutely hopeless, because there is always hope and mercy in God. But I am saying that I believe we have already crossed the point of no return. The presence of so many of these fanner's among us, is a clear indication that now it is time to sound the alarm for the remaining faithful, to come out from her, and flee from her abominations. Prophecy has now shifted from warning and pleading for repentance, to warning and pleading for the righteous to remove themselves from harms way. You better open your ears and eyes if you are a true believer, and hear what the Lord is saying in all these things. Prophetically it is time to flee Sodom (Isaiah 1:9) and don't look back (Luke 17:32). The hope is not for the land, it is for you as a true believer. God has not forsaken you, even though He has forsaken your country. Look.
Jeremiah 51:5-6 For Israel hath not been forsaken, nor Judah of his God,
of the LORD of hosts; though their land was filled with sin against the Holy
One of Israel. Flee out of the midst of Babylon, and deliver every man his
soul: be not cut off in her iniquity; for this is the time of the LORD'S
vengeance; he will render unto her a recompense.
If you love Christ, get yourself and those whom you love out of harms way. Flee the false teachers, the false prophets, the scoundrels who bring upon their own heads swift destruction, the fanning spirits that are now on every hand. Flee! Take a stand against them and remove yourself from them. Flee out of the midst of Babylon. This does not mean that you will flee to a survival shelter someplace in the mountains. That's not what I am talking about. There is no place to hide from God's wrath, except in the bosom of His love... Christ Jesus. Christ is the shelter from this storm, not some survivalist cabin in the hills and caves of the earth. The survivalists are extremist nuts, who do not trust God or read their Bibles, but who imagine that they can protect themselves fro God's wrath and judgment when it falls. The survivalists are also fanner's, don't listen to them. Listen to God, and flee to Him alone. Protection from divine judgement is not locational, it is spiritual. It means you remove yourself from all their falsehoods, and you disassociate yourself with their churches, which have become synagogues of Satan. Search out a church where Christ is still honored, where His word is still preached, and where the winds of the Spirit actually blow. That's where you flee to! Get out of Babylon and the company of the evil fanner's, and flee to the rock that is higher than yourself. Flee to the people of truth, the godly remnant. Search them out, find them and join with them. Associate with them! Enter their protective fold. Pray with them, even if it means you have to drive 50 or 60 miles to attend church. Flee, even if it means that you have to join a small house church, or start one yourself. Whatever you do get out of Babylon. Now is the time for fleeing. Now is the time to quit trying to reason with fools, and to quit casting pearls before swine, and to wipe the dust off your shoes as you turn to run from them. Whatever you have to do, get as far away spiritually from these fanner's as you possibly can.
