I was not looking for a revelation of the Blood when it came; I was looking for a manifestation of the Glory. For I had been on a more than 20-year-long Holy Spirit led study of the Glory of God.

The revelation of God's glory manifested in His church became the central theme of my ministry and the yearning of my heart.

The church of the Lord Jesus Christ comes to receive unto Himself will not be a downtrodden, backslidden, weakened church, but will be filled with the glory of God.
(Eph. 5:27)

I heard faithful men and women of God prophesy about it through those years. Reoccurring themes in the prophecies which so thrilled me spoke of signs, wonders, miracles, and even translation. I heard through the lips of more than one proven prophet that even the faces of believers will be so changed they will shine with the glory of God as His presence fills His temple.

Through these 20 years the Lord called me and caused me to witness prophecy-fulfilling world events.

We began to travel and minister in the Soviet Union in 1980. The ministry has covered the gamut of running from the KGB down dark alleys and across railroad tracks to preaching openly in front of the former National Museum of Atheism after the collapse of communism.

In 1986, after my husband moved to heaven, I studied Hebrew in Israel. Since then I return to the Land usually twice a year and have spent much time there in the unique doors God has opened to watch the fig tree (Israel) close at hand.

Many of the miraculously returned Jews who are the sign of the soon return of the Lord are my close friends. As a student of Bible prophecy, I saw signs in the nations, in the Jews, and in the church that now is the time.

It is time for the glory of God to be poured out upon and manifested through the church. And I was watching for it, closely, when I saw something else.

Satanic Attacks
I saw what seemed to be an increase in satanic attacks. All were terrible. Some were inexplicable. Strife struck between brethren who had preached the same message for years.

Homes were broken when lives we thought were dedicated to the ministry of the Lord succumbed to sin and its consequences. But the "inexplicable" cases especially drew me to seek an answer. No place-giving sin was involved. Innocent lives were lost to earth's realm when drunk drivers out of nowhere hit vehicles carrying God's faithful servants.

Freak accidents in two cases struck the host ministry's families just before large meetings. I sought the Lord about it. He answered me with a question. "You preach about the last days and the signs of the times, do you not?

"Yes," I said.

"What did I tell you the devil would do in the last days?"

I knew where to look. So I turned to Revelation 12:12 and read, "…The devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time."

In my Bible I had written in the margin that the Greek word translated "time" is kairos which means a limited and definite portion of time, a set time. I thought first about the set time of Adam's lease. After God finished His six-day workweek, He handed the authority on earth to Adam.

Some Bible scholars believe God gave Adam a corresponding six-day lease to work upon earth, with a thousand years as a day. Adam, however, committed high treason and delivered his authority to Satan. He legally, but not morally, sub-let his domain to Satan who became the god of this world (Luke 4:6; 2 Cor. 4:4).

When the set time of Adam's lease is over, Satan will be evicted and sent to the pit.

Satan knows about time. When Jesus was on earth, demons asked Him, "…Art thou come hither to torment us before the time?" (Matt.8:29).

The time. I saw it. This has to do with the time. Satan's lease is about up and he's furiously defying the prophecy of his doom.

Then I heard, "Back up a verse." So I read Rev. 12:11, "And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony…"

The Blood! The Blood of Jesus!

Rushing in upon me came Holy Spirit guided thoughts concerning the Blood of Jesus and the primary weapon it is for the final hour of this age. The Blood of the Lamb and the word of our testimony…that is how we will overcome!
