THE ANGEL, THE SWORD AND THE CATCH-NET

2 Tim 2: 25-26“…in humility correcting those who are in opposition, if God perhaps will grant them repentance, so that they may know the truth, and that they may come to their senses and escape the snare of the devil, having been taken captive by him to do his will.
“The angel, the sword and the catch-net” is an important vision which GOD to me revealed in January, 2005 during a personal time of the seclusion and community with Him in the Swiss mountains in a chalet high above the Rhone valley and which I publish now in 2009 once again.
After some days communing with GOD, an about 3.5 meter angel appeared to me on Wednesday afternoon at 14.30 o'clock in a clear vision. He looked young and wore on his forehead a luminous ribbon with a diadem which surrounded his bright hair. He carried a white, foot-long dress and a blue cape. I had never seen him before. In my mind I understood somehow, that this was Gabriel.
In his right hand he held a great, flashing sword, horizontally, about one and a half meters high about the ground. With his left hand, which was stretched upwards, he held a gigantic, wide net upwards. The strange thing was: the color of the net changed from black up to a brilliant white, until it seemed merged with the color of the sky and was not to be seen any more, although it was still there. In my spirit, I received the message:
“What you see here, is a net of seduction - selfishness, arrogance, and the arrogance is
“ 2 Timothy 2:25-26 which says : “…in humility correcting those who are in opposition, if God perhaps will grant them repentance, so that they may know the truth, and that they may come to their senses and escape the snare of the devil, having been taken captive by him to do his will.
The angel spoke: “I have come to release GOD'S people from the net”
Now I saw a crowd of people dressed in white. These are the chosen of GOD who approached as counted, from the left side - coming under the net, person for person under the horizontally outstretched, flashing sword which to them was now a barrier obstructing their way, so that they could not go on in a straight line to the other side. To get there, they had to bend down and deeply bend down under the sharpness of the flashing sword to keep from injuring themselves, to reach the other side. The angel stood still and held the sword motionlessly in this position.
Then I received in my spirit, the word from the 1st Peter 5:5-7 saying “ Likewise you younger people, submit yourselves to your elders. Yes, all of you be submissive to one another, and be clothed with humility, for "God resists the proud, But gives grace to the humble." 6 Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time, 7 casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you.
When I looked at this great, flashing and sharp sword, I heard: "Hebrew 4.12 For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. “
where stands still also gave other Christians who were under the net. Also they had to reach the other side of the flashing sword if they were ready to bend down and also in a stooped position approach under it, in order to go through. Nevertheless, they were too big, blown up and were too proud. They could not bend down, because it was unworthy of their position to bend. Thus they stopped before the sword of the angel. Over their heads hung the gigantic net which they could not see, because it was a net of the light and the blindness, while they were caught by the wrong, twisted falsifications of the word of GOD. Several of the people them were in the foreground, looked like princes and kings who were aware of their dignity and of their stature. They gave to themselves & each other honor and accepted each others gifts.
God’s Spirit now extended my field of vision. Suddenly I saw beside the princes and kings many subjects and followers who were under their rule. Each of them carried a long staff with a small board on top fastened (it reminded me of Roman soldiers with the field sign SPOR on which personal Prophets stood who promised them that they were appointed to "reign". Now they waited for the fact when these promises came true in them. Between the kings and their followers I saw a little part where a small group were standing.
These were prophets; the wrong prophets who served with their false revelations the princes, kings and their people- while they strengthened them in their blindness still with false prophetic words. Now my sight was turned completely upwards in the width of the sky and I saw: Around the net which was stretched about the princes, kings, prophets and subjects flew at a great height, many cadaver vultures who had waited for the hour, day and year to devour together their fat meal as a prey.
While I saw this, I clearly heard Yeshua’s voice saying: “Everybody who does not take up his cross and follow Me is not worthy to be mine!”
In Luke 9:23-24 NKJV we read:
Then He said to them all, "If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow Me. For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will save it.
Wrong Prophets, wrong prayers, wrong worship, wrong anointing, comfort instead of abnegation. You are a God! I saw those prophets, like they stepped with incense vessels before the princes, kings and their followers and they flattered them with wrong prophecies. Dazed from the false worship and the smell coming from it, a sweet heaviness descended on these people and they laid down, as they could hardly stand there and swayed. Mistakenly they thought, it would be the Holy Spirit Whom they touched. The contents of these "prophetic messages" consisted in the fact, “that everything would on it’s own come to them” they would have to wait only for the hour of fulfillment.
I heard the angel saying: “Comfort instead of surrender!” Now I saw before myself a golden incense vessel, while different smoked goods and essence were added in small servings, until the suitable mixed spices arose and the desired “degree of perfume and taste ” was reached, so that the smell was irresistibly enticing. I saw that these smoked incenses came from various ancient religious springs.
Suddenly I was restored in my spirit. I saw the tree of the knowledge which stood in the garden of Eden where once the snake spoke to Eve:“ But GOD knows that on the day that you eat of it, your eyes are opened and you will be like GOD, recognizing all that is good or evil” see Gen.3:4-5
Thus I saw, this essence was fruit of the bad people, & picked through the tree of knowledge and through the millenniums had gotten into the many hands of religious founders, shamans, magicians, priests and "doctrines" were chopped up by them in small dosages and were prepared & refined, spoken to others, and finally, by “angels of the light” to the wrong ones. Prophets were brought who only waited for it - new revelations to receive examination and illumination about the versatility of GOD which they could then transmit to others.
A basic problem of the falsification of the Gospel of Jesus Christ consisted in the fact that the simple Gospel of Jesus Christ was not enough anymore for the demands of those listeners. It had to be more attractive and more engaging, than the simple message of the work of the cross like it says by Paul in 1. Cor.1:17 NKJV writes: “ For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the gospel, not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of no effect. “
And 1. Cor.1:18 says: “For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. “
Back to the vision.
Now it depended on the flattering people’s mutual self adulation and a “smell of the knowledge of the Exclusivity” and to me “mixture, I am not holy for you” was released and here the Indian box system and box thinking was used. In the end, this is to all a mixture from all religions. Again I saw the incense vessel. This time close-up and very much detailed.
In the center of the container was a "wheel" with many memory chambers in which there was the different smoked essence of all world religions. One said: “ Wheel of the wisdom of unity”. In the middle of the wheel hub was “the flame of the enlightenment”. A small opening of the surrounding religious smoked essence was mixed together and thus spread an irresistible smell. The effect was like that of an intoxicating drug that they were made dependent on. Every time if any person or victim inhaled this incense he was befogged by the odoriferous swaths and was dazed and received the message: “You are divine, you are a God!”
It is the diabolical work of the anti-Christian spirit who spreads this teaching worldwide and merges this purpose with its religious ingredients from all religions and offers it to gullible, seducible people - a new religion in which they themselves are just heavenly, God. The person as a God! Thus the religious platform is created where the Antichrist will reveal himself - sits down in the temple and states, he is a God! Countless enticed will greet him as their rescuer and God, because they had not accepted the love of the truth in Jesus Christ.
2 Thess.2:3-4 NKJV says as a warning: Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition, 4 who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God.
This is the message of the vision of which GOD gave me in January, 2005 and which I transmit here by his just order. Examine where you stand!
