First is the sickle of harvest. Revelation 14:14 - 16 "Then I looked, and behold, a white cloud, and on the cloud sat One like the Son of Man, having on His head a golden crown, and in His hand a sharp sickle. And another angel came out of the temple crying with a loud voice to Him who sat on the cloud, 'Thrust in Your sickle and reap, for the time has come for You to reap, for the harvest of the earth is ripe'. So He who sat on the cloud thrust in His sickle on the earth and the earth was reaped." Why does Revelation call Jesus the Son of Man here and not the Son of God? Because earth will witness Christ's body becoming the MANIFEST sons of God on earth with a new authority and power to take the harvest. Through true apostolic alignment a "new generation" of released authority will begin to MANIFEST. We will witness the kingdom of God's authority that has not been seen since the early church. Jesus Christ has kept hidden behind the scenes "His chosen ones" but now they will MANIFEST. This is the mystery of Godliness that has been hidden in His kingdom. We understand the part of the mystery of Christ's becoming flesh and dying on the cross. But now the mystery will unfold of His RESURRECTION POWER AND HIS POWER TO REIGN ON EARTH THROUGH HIS CHURCH. The Bride of Christ is entering a early stages of preparing to "reign on earth" with their King Jesus Christ.
Second is the sickle of God's wrath. The "man of sin" will begin to be revealed as the "mystery of ungodliness". This world-wide antichrist spirit will also have greater authority. His way has been prepared by man's corporate sin and the grapes of God's wrath will begin to cleanse the earth with judgment. Through wide spread deception, this "man of sin" will appear as the natural solution to world problems. But what begins as deception, ends in destruction. Revelation 14:17-19 "Then another angel came out of the temple which is in heaven, he also having a sharp sickle. And another angel came out from the altar, who had power over fire, and he cried with a loud cry to him who had the sharp sickle saying, 'Thrust in your sharp sickle and gather the clusters of the vine of the earth, for her grapes are fully ripe.' So the angel thrust his sickle into the earth and gathered the vine of the earth and threw it into the great winepress of the wrath of God,." God has allowed a shifting in the heavenlies.
The Lord would say listen for the cry from the North and from the East. A regathering of ancient powers will rise and realignment of political power will come. This is part of the shaking spoken about in Hebrews 12:27-29 "Now this, 'Yet once more," indicates the removal of those things that are being shaken, as of the things that are made, that the things which cannot be shaken may remain. Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom which cannot be shaken, let us have grace, by which we may serve God acceptable with reverence and godly fear. For our God is a consuming fire."
Don't be surprised nor shaken by what you will see happening this year. But be founded deeply in God's kingdom and Christ's righteousness. Practice His right to rule over you daily and you will not be frightened with any fear of what will happen on earth in 2016.
