The Lord is again about to appear, as we are in a time of transition – the closing out of the Church Age and the birthing of the Millennial Kingdom Age. Therefore, there is a need for the “voice” of a present day John the Baptist.
Many in the church of our day are not listening for a present word, but rather, are resting in the doctrinal positions which they have been taught. Therefore, the Lord is beginning to call apart those, who as John the Baptist, will hear a “present word,” and who will recognize and respond to the presence of the Lord, when He begins to reveal Himself.
