FELLOWSHIP CHAPEL
THE LAST DAY MESSENGER
THE GREAT LAST DAY MOVE OF GOD!
Reverend Ona Bogart March 5, 2005 (REVISED 4/13/07, 1/8/09) Study # 35
Revelation 6:1,2 “And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four beasts saying, Come and see.
2. And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer.”
Almost all of the Ministers of today, proclaim this White Horse and His Rider to be the Antichrist but WHEN HAS GOD EVER PROMISED TO GIVE THE DEVIL A BOW AND A CROWN? And when has God ever allowed Him to conquer? This would defeat the whole purpose of God’s Plan of Salvation.
For many years, about (70) my husband and I have seen the coming of the Lord differently than the ecclesiastical Ministers and Churches of today. We believe that it is imperative that we adhere to the types, symbols, and shadows that are shown throughout the Old and New Testaments.
Let us point out a few of the symbols or types that God used as Moses began to lead the Children of Israel out of Egypt. Pharaoh’s magicians tried to perform every plague that Moses brought upon the land of Egypt, but finally they could not prevail against the great Power of God, and God used Moses to deliver Israel out of their bondage, Exodus 12:34-41.
Israel went three days journey into the wilderness of Shur, where they found the bitter waters of Marah. They cried to Moses and He cast a tree (a symbol ofJesus, the tree of Life) into the waters and they were made sweet, Exodus 15:22-25. They journeyed on and came to Elim and there they found 12 wells of water and threescore and ten palm trees: they camped there, Exodus 15:27 “And they came to Elim, where were twelve wells of water, and threescore and ten palm trees: and they encamped there by the waters.” Numbers 33:9. “And they removed from Marah, and came unto Elim: and in Elim were twelve fountains of water and threescore and ten palm trees; and they pitched there.”
The waters at Elim are a type of the Holy Spirit and the 12 wells of water are a type of the 12 disciples that Jesus sent out and gave power, and authority over all devils, sickness, and diseases. The disciples were told as they went to preach the kingdom of God. If they were not received, they should shake the dust off their feet as a testimony against that city, Luke 9:1-5.
In Luke 10:1 Jesus appointed OTHER SEVENTY, and sent them two by two into every city where He Himself would come, Jesus said, “The harvest truly is great but the labors are few.” The 70 disciples that the Lord sent out are a type of the 70 palm trees that were in Elim, Numbers 33:9.

SYMBOLS OF WHITE:
I can't believe that the Devil has ever had any ability to have such an army that was allowed, by God, to go forth conquering and to conquer. Almost any Bible scholar will tell us that they
believe that the Devil is totally under the control of the Lord God, yet they interpret this White Horse and His Rider as being the Antichrist. This portion of the Scripture has been interpreted by most of the Pastors and Theologians, as being the Antichrist going forth conquering the world. All through the Bible white has always been associated with righteousness and holiness. Never has white been used as being associated with evil or the Devil.
White is used many times in the Book of Revelation and it is never associated with evil.
Revelation 1:14 the Son of man's hair is referred to as white like wool.
Revelation 2:17, to him that overcometh will I give a white stone.
Revelation 4:4, four and twenty Elders were clothed in white raiment.
Revelation 6:11 White robes were given to the martyrs
Revelation 7:9, white robes were given to those that were sealed.
Revelation 13 Who are these that are arrayed in white robes?
Revelation 7:14 White robes were given to those that come out of great tribulation.
Revelation 14:14 Son of man sat upon a white cloud.
Revelation 19: 8 The is Bride arrayed in white linen.
Revelation 19:14 Armies of heaven followed on white horses.
Revelation 20:11 Great White Throne judgment.
Israel spent 40 years journeying in the wilderness. They fell away from God when they re-turned and gave an evil report to Moses saying that they were not qualified to go up and take the land of Canaan. They did not believe that they could overcome the giants of Canaan, and therefore God allowed their bones to bleach in the wilderness. Caleb and Joshua brought back a good report to Moses. Caleb and Joshua believed that they could overcome the giants, Numbers 13:30. The Churches are in somewhat of the same state of unbelief today. There has begun a great falling away from the true Word and promises of God. The first evidence of the outpouring of the Holy Ghost and the fire that came from God with the evidence of speaking in tongues, came about shortly after the turn of the last Century, but it flamed for a small time and then the move of God cooled off.
In the first 5 Chapters of Joshua, we find that after Israel finally crossed over the Jordan, they made a new commitment to the Lord. They circumcised all of those that had not been cir-cumcised after they left the land of Egypt: They fasted and prayed: They finally had reached the land of milk and honey, and the manna had ceased. While the whole world today is trying to find out what religion REALLY is, God is working to bring a people together that He will send out into the highways and hedges, and those that will see the revelation of the truth of the Gospel, will begin to come into the full 100 fold as God begins His Last Day Move.
In Ezekiel 37, the Lord reveals that He will bring the WHOLE HOUSE of Israel together, BUT only through DAVID His Servant, Jesus, Ezekiel 37:24, Luke 1: 69, 70.
THE WHOLE HOUSE OF ISRAEL! BUT WHO IS THE WHOLE HOUSE OF ISRAEL? Galatians 6:15-17 “For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth anything, nor uncircum-cision, BUT A NEW CREATURE.
2
16 And as many as walk according to this rule, peace be on them, and mercy, and upon the
Israel of God.”
Galatians 3:28 “Neither Jew nor Greek, bond nor free, male nor female, YE ARE ALL ONE
IN CHRIST.”
Romans 9:7 “Neither because they are the seed of Abraham, are they all children: but IN ISAAC shall thy seed be called.
8. That is, they which are the children of the flesh, these are not the children of God: but the children of the promise are counted for the seed.”
Bringing the Whole House together does not happen overnight. The Scripture says, “He will finish the work, and cut it short in righteousness: because A SHORT WORK will the Lord make upon the earth.” Romans 9: 28.
God has been working for almost 6,000 years and only when He has a People that have come to the place without spot or wrinkle, will this prophecy be fulfilled. So how do we think that God will do this? “Here a little, and there a little, Isaiah 28: 10-13.
When we understand that the time of the Lord is, “A thousand years as one day and a day as a thousandyears”, 2 Peter 3:8, we can see the relationship between Abraham, who was as good as dead, and yet through his loins came Isaac who is a type of Jesus and the blood that He shed. This Dispensation of time finds a church-world that is cold and really doesn’t know or understand, or realize, that there will be a people that are prophesied to suffer trials and tribulations and possibly give their lives before Jesus comes, even as Isaac was to be a sacrifice in the time of Abraham. In the eyes of God, Isaac was sacrificed.
This brings us to the White Horse and His Rider when the Church will go forth conquering and to conquer in a mighty outpouring of the Power of God through Perfected Church with Jesus as Her Head, Revelation 6:2.
CHRIST AND HIS CHURCH
Hebrews 9:28 “So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.”
Notice that Paul says unto them that look for him shall he APPEAR the SECOND TIME UNTO SALVATION. Not to raise the dead or to catch away a people in the air for the marriage supper of the Lamb, but for a great outpouring of SALVATION.
Ephesians 4: 11 “And he gave some, apostles; and some prophets; and some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers:
12. For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:”
13. Till we all come in the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ.”
God is not going to force anyone to come to perfection, because God has already MADE both
3
ADAM and LUCIFER perfect and they both failed to maintain the perfect state. They had NO choice as to whether they would be perfect or sinful. They were made perfect: they did not have a choice between good and evil, Ezekiel 28:14,15 Genesis 3:5, 22. This brings us to quote the Scripture again found in Romans 8:20, “For the creature was MADE SUBJECT TO VANITY, NOT WILLINGLY, but by reason of him, who hath SUBJECTED the SAME IN HOPE.”
Adam and Lucifer did not make their own decision, as to whether they would decide between good and evil, they were MADE PERFECT by God, and they failed on both occasions. So now God has given every Christian a choice. We as Christians, can work to overcome all the sin in our bodies and in our lives, and be required to suffer along the way, or we can just go part of the way and experience the “born again life” and live according to the dictate of our conscience, or we can determine to serve God with everything that He puts before us and die out every day that we live, to ALL SIN. Paul said that He thanked God that He died daily, 1 Corinthians 15:31.
The White Horse and His Rider will be a part of the Scripture that Joel writes about in Joel 2:1 “Blow the trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm in my holy mountain: let all the inhabitants of the land tremble: for the day of the Lord cometh, for it is nigh at hand;
2. A day of darkness and of gloominess, a day of clouds and of thick darkness, as the morning spread upon the mountains: a great people and a strong;there hath not been ever the like, neither shall be any more after it, even to the years of many generations.
3. A fire devoureth before them; and behind them a flame burneth: the land is as the garden of
Eden before them, and behind them a desolate wilderness;yea, and nothing shall escape them.
4. The appearance of them is as the appearance of horses; and as horsemen, so shall they run.
5. Like the noise of chariots on the tops of mountains shall they leap, like the noise of flame that devoureth the stubble, as a strong people set in battle array. CONTINUE TO READ THROUGH 13.
This revival will be altogether different from any other move of the Holy Ghost that we have seen. It will be altogether beyond the understanding and comprehension of Mankind.
The Ministers are proclaiming the coming of the Lord to be a day of Joy and gladness, And it will be for the Perfected Bride of Jesus Christ, but when we read the rest of the Scriptures that go with this declaration, we find that there not only be rumors of wars, but there WILL be wars.
Read from Matthew 24: 21. “For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no nor ever shall be.
22.And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect’s sake those days shall be shortened.
23. THEN if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not.
24. For there shall arise false christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.
25. Behold, I have told you before.
26. Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not.
27. For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so also the coming of the Son of man be.

28. For where so ever the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together.”
I haven’t heard very much teaching on the first 28 verses of the 24th chapter of Matthew. In verse 29 Matthew begins to make some of the same statements that agree with Isaiah 13:10, Joel 2; 30, 31.
Beginning with Matthew 24:21 through verse 28 Matthew is directing His comments to the ELECT and what it will require to get them through the tests and trials that are to confront them while they wait for the physical return of Jesus. Then in verse 28 he says that where the Carcass IS the Eagles will be gathered together. This seems very plain to Me. Where the Carcass IS (the resurrected body of Jesus) the eagles will be gathered around.
Then read from Luke 17: 32 “Remember Lot’s wife.
35. Whosoever shall seek to save his life shall lose it; and whosoever shall lose his life shall preserve it.
34. I tell you, in that night there shall be two men in one bed; the one shall be taken, and the
other shall be left.
35. Two women shall be grinding together; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
36. Two men shall be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
37. And they answered and said unto him, Where, Lord? And he said unto them, Where so ever the body is, thither will the eagles be gathered together.”
After these statements by Jesus, He says in verse 29 “Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:
30. And THEN shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and THEN shall all the tries
of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
31. And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together HIS ELECT from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.”
29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:
30 And then shall appear the SIGN of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man COMING in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.”
Jesus said, First shall APPEAR the SIGN of the Son of man, and the tribes of the earth will mourn, and then they shall SEE the Son of man COMING in the clouds with POWER and GREAT GLORY. Can we not align this with Hebrews 9:28 when Paul writes, “So Christ was ONCE OFFERED to bear the sins of many: (at His death on the Cross) and unto THEM THAT LOOK FOR HIM shall he APPEAR the SECOND TIME without sin UNTO SALVATION.”
Jesus came the first time and was crucified and shed His blood for all the humans from that point of time on. That finished the ONCE OFFERED. But now Paul writes, UNTO THEM THAT LOOK FOR HIM, He shall APPEAR THE SECOND TIME unto Salvation.
5
He shall APPEAR the second Time without sin, (of course without sin, because His sacrifice for sin was when He came the first time and gave His life on the cross for our sins, that was a part of the past), now He is APPEARING to THOSE THAT LOOK FOR HIM FOR THE GREAT REVIVAL FOR SALVATION. The Christians that have been persuaded by their pastors or because they have not read and understood the Scriptures, will NOT be LOOKING for Jesus to APPEAR in such a time as this. We have been taught that there will be no struggles or pain when He returns to redeem His own, but that is NOT what Jesus Himself says.
He said, there would be false christs and false prophets, and wars and rumors of wars and many would be deceived. He said that we should flee to the mountains, and times would be in such a state that we should not even turn back to take our clothes. This will utterly scare many of the world today to have heart attacks and fear will grip even the Christian that has not given more to God. Luke said that because of these things that are happening, Men’s hearts would be failing them for fear, Luke 21:26.
