Labor Day Weekend

Sent on 8/27/2004

Published on 8/29/2004

Some weeks ago, The Lord spoke to me and told me that he would have me send out a “word” called Labor Day Weekend. So once again I found myself in the position of knowing the title, but not the content. So at the beginning of this week The Lord told me what the word would be about. In short, He wants to make sure that we understand the time and the season in which we live. He told me that I would send the word out this week. During the week he told me to send it out on “the anniversary.” He meant today, August 27th, which is my daughters 5th birthday, and the anniversary of the day that my wife spent about 18-20 hours in labor before finally giving birth.

Labor Day is a Federal holiday observed in the United States on the first Monday of September. It was created to honor the American worker with a day of rest. Nowadays, it is observed on Monday creating an extended weekend, 3 days long.

Here is a quote and a link to an article about Labor Day: “Labor Day differs in every essential way from the other holidays of the year in any country,” said Samuel Gompers, founder and longtime president of the American Federation of Labor.

All other holidays are in a more or less degree connected with conflicts and battles of man’s prowess over man, of strife and discord for greed and power, of glories achieved by one nation over another. Labor Day…is devoted to no man, living or dead, to no sect, race, or nation.

God told me that he wants us to take some time this Labor Day Weekend to remember these words:

Matthew 24:3-8 (ESV)

³ As he sat on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately, saying, “Tell us, when will these things be, and what will be the sign of your coming and of the end of the age?” 
⁴ And Jesus answered them, “See that no one leads you astray. 
⁵ For many will come in my name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and they will lead many astray. 
⁶ And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not alarmed, for this must take place, but the end is not yet. 
⁷ For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and there will be famines and earthquakes in various places. 
⁸ All these are but the beginning of the birth pains.

For the past 2,000 years there have been wars and rumors of wars, as well as famine and earthquakes in various places, so why should we remember these words now? This millennium is the 3rd day of Jesus and the 7th Day of the Father. Jesus returns some time at the beginning of this millennium to celebrate the Great Supper of God. This great supper of God is the same as the Great Feast of the Lamb that God told me was represented by the number 17. In order to set up the following quote, picture The Rider on his white horse coming down from heaven with His army behind him.

Rev. 19:17-19 (ESV)

¹⁷ Then I saw an angel standing in the sun, and with a loud voice he called to all the birds that fly directly overhead, “Come, gather for the great supper of God, 
¹⁸ to eat the flesh of kings, the flesh of captains, the flesh of mighty men, the flesh of horses and their riders, and the flesh of all men, both free and slave,^[d] both small and great.” 
¹⁹ And I saw the beast and the kings of the earth with their armies gathered to make war against him who was sitting on the horse and against his army.

What a joyous celebration it will be when Jesus returns to the earth to establish the 1,000 year rest before the final battle. This is going to happen fairly soon. I don’t know the day and the hour, but I know the general time period and the season. It is going to occur some time at the beginning of the 7th millennium since creation was finished, and the 3rd millennium since the birth, death, and resurrection of Jesus. Jesus’ return is imminent. This millennium is Labor Day. It is the day of rest patterned after the 7th day of creation and characterized by the 1,000 year reign, and it is the day of the final labor pains that will precede the birth of this age.

So in these last moments that will precede the return of Christ (see Matthew 24, and Rev. 19 for 2 examples), Babylon will fall (Matthew 24:7-8; Rev 19:1-3), great persecution will arise (Matthew 24:9), the Gospel will be proclaimed throughout the whole world (Matthew 24:14), and then the end of the age in will come (v.14) characterized by great tribulation as mentioned in Matthew 24:21 and the Return of Christ in Matthew 24:30. Basically, as my wife can attest to, as labor progresses, the contractions become more painful and closer together. Her labor ended in my daughter’s birth. Though she suffered, her heart also rejoiced with hope and expectation. And when all is said and done, the blessing of my daughter far exceeds the cost of her suffering. This is the time for patient endurance in suffering for we know that our reward and future eternal glory will far exceed our present suffering. This is the time to be joyful in the expectation of Christ’s return. This is the time to be faithful to the end.

Rev. 22:20-21 (KJV)
