"Be
baptized for the dead"
September 11, 2001
Greetings in
Jesus' name.
With sorrow we write after the pain and loss and grief of so many
after last week's terrorist attacks in New York and Washington D.C.
and Pennsylvania.
We are astounded by all that the Holy Spirit has been saying and
showing us, as we see that which He said before coming to pass,
and we see the events on earth reflecting the battle which is occurring
in the spiritual realm over the earth. The enemy has been thrown
down and is angry because he knows that his time is short, for Jesus
will return and the new era will begin. In the meantime, our God
will show us what is happening every step of the way.
A few months ago, Char Tierney, Silvana Lupetti, and Therese Cooper
were up at night waiting on the Holy Spirit because He woke us up.
He was speaking to us of His plans for His people. We were in the
Spirit, listening to Him and talking together and as the dawn approached
we sat on the couch in our living room and the three of us saw a
vision in the sky. It seemed as though the sky looked like the sea.
We watched it for an hour or so because it was so beautiful and
we all saw the same thing. The sky was streaked with pink, and it
appeared to look like the sea with land in the background, and a
few lights, as though there were houses scattered around. It was
such a clear image of the ocean, that we even joked about the fisherman
in these houses waking up and having coffee as they prepared to
go out in the dawn hours to take their boats out to fish. Finally,
Silvana said, "It actually looks like Morro Bay, California,
towards Los Osos." We found it beautiful and restful and we
thought that the Holy Spirit was refreshing our spirits by showing
us the ocean, which we miss since we had not been to the sea since
1994. When we saw this vision, we had no idea we would be going
to the ocean soon.
Just recently the Holy Spirit said to go to California, and while
there to be baptized in the ocean. He also said something that startled
us considerably. He said that not only would we be baptized again
in obedience to Him, but that we would be "baptized for the
dead". We did not know exactly what to think about that, but
we all searched our hearts and asked Him for whom He wanted us to
be baptized. None of us had ever heard of anyone actually being
baptized for the dead, although we know that Paul mentioned it,
as recorded in the Scriptures.
On the way there, Char Tierney said by the Holy Spirit, "Rachel
weeping for her children, for they are no more." We didn't
know what was meant by that, even as we didn't understand about
"being baptized for the dead". When we arrived in Morro
Bay, California, where we were planning to be baptized in the ocean,
we went down to a beach which is near the state park. It was a beach
we had never sat at before, although we had often been nearby. As
we sat there, the sun began to go down and the sky became streaked
with pink and we saw the exact scene that we had seen in the vision
a month before! The sky was streaked with pink, the land was in
the distance, and there were a few lights scattered around. We all
recognized the scene, although Therese had never been to Morro Bay
before. Then the Holy Spirit told us to be baptized at that spot,
when He called us to do so.
"Go down in the morning," said the Holy Spirit on Monday
night, so on Tuesday, September 11th, we were preparing to go down
to the ocean when we heard the news on the radio of the attacks
on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. "During the eleventh
hour," the Holy Spirit had said, "go down to the ocean
to be baptized for yourself and for others and for the dead."
There was five of us who were baptized in the water in obedience
to the Holy Spirit, and when we came out of the water to our car,
the car's clock read 11:59 (California time).
Later, the Father spoke to us about being baptized for the dead,
who were the many who died in the terrorist attack. He said that
each and every person who died there was brought before Him. Silvana
saw the Father with open arms and many angels and people who have
gone before, in a great bustle of preparation as heaven received
the murdered. Many who would have gone to hell did not, because
of His mercy. Instead they were brought before Him to be examined
and brought into paradise. This mass ascension was done in the sight
of the Muslims who also died in the suicide attacks, who have been
lied to by the father of lies, and who died believing the lie that
they would go straight to paradise if they killed Americans for
Allah's sake. This ascension to heaven's gates of many souls from
America and from the whole world happened in the sight of these
Muslims just as Lazarus and Abraham were in the sight of the rich
man who had known Lazarus on earth. Jesus is the way and the truth
and the eternal life and all men must come to heaven through Him
and no other.
When we were called to be baptized for ourselves and for the dead,
we went in obedience, although we had no idea of what was coming
on the exact day we were to be baptized. Just as there was a battle
to put a godly man into office in this nation, there is now a battle
in the earth over good and evil. Satan is directly involved in what
is coming onto the earth, a fierce battle for good and evil, into
which all nations will be involved, although they will not recognize
what is occurring, and all that happens is preparation to the earth
for Jesus' return. The Holy Spirit knows what is coming, and calls
us to be involved in many ways. Jesus called us to the garden alone
with Him. Now the Holy Spirit is calling us to rise up and be baptized
again, and He will speak to us and lead us with power, as our lamps
are full with His presence.
In March 2000, in obedience to the Holy Spirit, some from the Table
of the Remnant went to Austin, Texas, and there we anointed the
ground at the capitol and at the governor's mansion. (Where George
W. Bush lived at the time.) In May 2000, the Holy Spirit told us
to go to Tallahassee, Florida, where we poured out oil on the ground
at the capitol building and the courthouses. We read from the Scriptures,
and circled around the courthouses and capitol building there. At
the time we did not understand the significance of what we were
doing, but we acted only in obedience to the Holy Spirit. Later,
when the battle over the presidency was played out in Tallahassee,
Florida, we saw that He went before with His angels, and anointed
the ground before the battle, and we saw that He is entirely to
be trusted in all He calls us to do. He leads, we follow.
Now, He continues to speak to us of the enemy and his plans, and
about the plans of the Father. We truly are amazed at all that is
being said and shown about the days to come. In 1990, the Holy Spirit
said that Jesus has declared WAR on the enemy, and He shows in this
terrorist act in America a blow in that war. As we continue on by
the Holy Spirit to tell everyone that Jesus is real and that they
can know Him personally, (as they speak to Jesus, He will speak
to them) we see the war which is being waged between good and evil.
The Holy Spirit will give a season of time in which the good news
about Jesus is spread, and many will come to love Him in response.
Then, there will come intense suffering to many and Lucifer will
move to deceive the religious, while Satan moves to control the
earth and to be worshipped as God. Already that deceiver has many
who believe him to be God, or Allah, as they call him now.
The world-wide deception that we have spoken of will come when Lucifer
moves to deceive the many who are religious, who do not know the
Holy Spirit well enough to recognize that the one who is speaking
is not He. Those in the fallen church will believe it is a revival
from God, the Jews will believe their Messiah has come, the Hindus
will hear the voice of many demons, believing that great power from
heaven is being shown, and Muslims will be stirred up to holy wars
as Lucifer moves among the whole earth with his deceptive powers.
The ten nations who bring about such damage in the final days before
Jesus returns will be Arab Muslim nations. About all these things
we have been warning, and the Holy Spirit continues to show how
these events will come into play as the battle over earth continues.
But in the end, our God will be victorious as He returns with the
faithful saints who have been taken to the wedding feast which is
being prepared for us. At first during the Muslims hour of power
(they are the ten nations which will be given power for one hour)
we will be on the earth as the battle rages, later we will be taken
out, to return when Jesus brings us back from the feast in His presence.
We can trust all that the Holy Spirit has been saying. For six hours
on Christmas the heavenly host spoke to the earth, and they said
UNITY, RESTORATION, PEACE. We see now the result of the angel's
word with the unity and the patriotism in the United States. There
is unity in America, with many in the world united also with us
in this rejection of evil. The Holy Spirit said, "Take the
crosses down" and we see that, just as He said, the Holy Spirit
is moving on the world to point to Jesus, but not through the religious
church and their self-centered preaching but through this tragedy.
The cross has been lifted high and the gospel is being spoken, with
the whole world watching and listening. Just as He showed the truth
in the past, He will continue to make clear the truth about all
that comes on the earth, and to lead us every step of the way.
In the Holy Spirit, whom we serve,
The Table of
the Remnant
