Sounding The Alarm!

Message
I want to combine several messages that The LORD has given to me recently into one concise message.
On September 30th, 2023 after seeking The LORD for 3½ hours for what He would have me to share, The LORD said, “Weighed in the balance and found wanting!”
We know where this is found in Scripture. It is found in the Book of Daniel Chapter 5. King Belshazzar was being told by The LORD through the prophet Daniel that his kingdom was finished. God’s hand appeared upon the wall proclaiming,
“….. Mene, Mene, Tekel, Upharsin. This is the interpretation of the thing: Mene; God hath numbered thy kingdom, and finished it. Tekel; Thou art weighed in the balances, and art found wanting. Peres; Thy kingdom is divided, and given to the Medes and Persians.” Daniel 5:25-28
Why was Belshazzar being told this by The LORD?
“But hast lifted up thyself against The LORD of heaven; and they have brought the vessels of his house before thee, and thou, and thy lords, thy wives, and thy concubines, have drunk wine in them; and thou hast praised the gods of silver, and gold, of brass, iron, wood, and stone, which see not, nor hear, nor know: and the God in whose hand thy breath is, and whose are all thy ways, hast thou not glorified:” Daniel 5:23
Belshazzar had lifted up himself against The LORD. He had not humbled himself or glorified The LORD of Heaven, and now his day of reckoning had come. He was found weighed in the balance and found wanting, and now his kingdom — and life for that matter — was over.
That same night, Belshazzar’s life was taken. His kingdom — even his life — was over.
This Nation and world are in a similar state!
It has not humbled itself before The God of Heaven, and now God is demanded a recompense.
And that is what I feel The LORD is saying — that this world — this Nation — is found weighed in the balance and found wanting!
Repent, for The Day of The LORD is nigh at hand!
Several weeks later, The LORD led me to Isaiah 47. In this Chapter, The LORD addresses the daughter of Babylon,
“Come down, and sit in the dust, O virgin daughter of Babylon, sit on the ground: there is no throne, O daughter of the Chaldeans: for thou shalt no more be called tender and delicate. Take the millstones, and grind meal: uncover thy locks, make bare the leg, uncover the thigh, pass over the rivers. Thy nakedness shall be uncovered, yea, thy shame shall be seen: I will take vengeance, and I will not meet thee as a man” Isaiah 47:1-3
The LORD was saying that He was going to take vengeance on the daughter of Babylon — that she would no longer be the enticing lady that she thought she was,
“Sit thou silent, and get thee into darkness, O daughter of the Chaldeans: for thou shalt no more be called, The lady of kingdoms“ Isaiah 47:5
He had used Babylon to judge Israel because of their blatant disobedience and rebellion towards Him, but Babylon had far exceeded the hammer of judgment that God would prescribe for His people to receive,
“….. thou didst shew them no mercy; upon the ancient hast thou very heavily laid thy yoke.” Isaiah 47:6.
And not only that — but the daughter of Babylon thought that it would never come to its end,
“And thou saidst, I shall be a lady for ever: so that thou didst not lay these things to thy heart, neither didst remember the latter end of it” Isaiah 47:7
It was rich and increased with goods and thought it was untouchable,
“Therefore hear now this, thou that art given to pleasures, that dwellest carelessly, that sayest in thine heart, I am, and none else beside me; I shall not sit as a widow, neither shall I know the loss of children:” Isaiah 47:8
Babylon thought it would never come to its end. It had everything it needed and would never experience judgment or sorrow, but as God would not be mocked — as His mercy only lasts so long — the daughter of Babylon would be judged,
“But these two things shall come to thee in a moment in one day, the loss of children, and widowhood: they shall come upon thee in their perfection for the multitude of thy sorceries, and for the great abundance of thine enchantments. For thou hast trusted in thy wickedness: thou hast said, None seeth me. Thy wisdom and thy knowledge, it hath perverted thee; and thou hast said in thine heart, I am, and none else beside me. Therefore shall evil come upon thee; thou shalt not know from whence it riseth: and mischief shall fall upon thee; thou shalt not be able to put it off: and desolation shall come upon thee suddenly, which thou shalt not know” Isaiah 47:9-11
Doesn’t that sound like this nation? We see in Revelation 18, that, in one day — in one hour — Babylon is judged,
“Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong is The LORD God who judgeth her. And the kings of the earth, who have committed fornication and lived deliciously with her, shall bewail her, and lament for her, when they shall see the smoke of her burning, Standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, Alas, alas that great city Babylon, that mighty city! for in one hour is thy judgment come” Revelation 18:8-10
Babylon says,
“…… in her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow” Revelation 18:7,
but,
“…….. in one hour so great riches is come to nought” Revelation 18:17
Children of God, this nation is found weighed in the balance and found wanting!
A week later, The LORD spoke to me a solemn assembly. We see this in various parts of Scripture. Most notably, we see in The Book of Joel,
“Blow the trumpet in Zion, sanctify a fast, call a solemn assembly:” Joel 2:15
At the very beginning of the Book, we see,
“Sanctify ye a fast, call a solemn assembly, gather the elders and all the inhabitants of the land into the house of The LORD your God, and cry unto The LORD,” Joel 1:14
In Zephaniah, we see,
“I will gather them that are sorrowful for the solemn assembly, who are of thee, to whom the reproach of it was a burden.” Zephaniah 3:18
A short time later, I felt like The LORD said, sound an alarm. We see this at the beginning of Joel Chapter 2, where The LORD says,
“Blow ye 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;” Joel 2:1
Later in the Chapter we see The LORD saying,
“….. .call a solemn assembly:” Joel 2:15
So, that is what I am doing in this message — Sounding the Alarm!
I feel The LORD is saying that we — The Body of Christ — we, His people — should be calling a solemn assembly — that we should be in prayer — that we should seek Him like we have never sought Him before — that we should draw nigh unto Him like we have never drew near unto Him before — that we should come before Him in weeping, and repentance, and intercession, and praying for the days that are upon us!
Why? Because this nation is found weighed in the balance and found wanting, and Babylon is going to be judged.
Let us all seek The LORD with everything that is within us!
Blessings to you all in The Name of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Amen!

Yes! last night I was waiting on the Lord and the word from Rev.3 came to me:
Behold, I am coming quickly!
We are told to hold fast and be overcomers.
Amen!
Thank you, Rich for this message. I believe you are spot on with your words and scriptures put together. Let us draw near to the Lord as never before.
God bless you. Joyce D
Thanks Joyce. God bless you too!
All earthquake are the alarms as on assignment in California on my mission for the wrong church now redeemed. I don’t dream much I had a dream I was in day the finger of God was writing the fate of future civilization that judge they wanting. I woke up into early 90’s Northridge earthquake shaking my bed and sweetest peace that never left my soul. The finger of God Anointing was given to his children to point at enemy with authority of what sent us here to return all spoils back to him. You point at people in spirit you got this Anointing use knowing it him standing in you.. draw the line in sand can’t pass devil. The Safe passage is his name also… in times of sorrow and famines of hearing his words season is now
He is Our Everything. In Him, we place our trust! Thanks for sharing.
1 Timothy 2:4 God who will have all men to be saved.
If the church in America sees God as any thing less then all powerful who will have His will done on earth as in heaven they have failed to know the truth and need to dig deeper. In the end every knee will bow and every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is lord to the glory of God. If your theology leads you to another conclusion you are being lead a stray. The church in America needs to come up higher and walk in the truth or it will be no more. The church should be the foundation for truth. Sad to say most of
what they believe is based on men’s thoughts wanting to be accepted by other men. The truth will set you free not bring you into bondage to other who refuse to grow up. The time is short.
Amen. Thanks for sharing. God bless you.
P.S. One day, shortly after the “Big Choice” was made, the hell I was in was so loud that I pulled the vehicle over on a city highway and screamed out to the Lord to please make it stop, which it did, for just a moment. Long enough for the Lord to say to me, Cheri, this is for the Nation, we need you to pray. This is where the sacrifice of my life comes in. I was up sometimes many nights and days in a row without sleep on my knees for the United States of America. I fasted when led and prayed nonstop, and I believe we’re going to see this form of conviction and repentance pour out on this Nation, like Jonah with Nineveh.
God bless!!
There is no better time spent than spending it with The Lord!
At the end of 2014 I began to hear in the spirit, the evil one telling the Lord,”She needs to choose!!” And then a beautiful, still small voice answered, “She will.” This went on for a few months until on January 5, 2015 I screamed outloud, “I CHOOSE JESUS CHRIST!!!” At that moment I felt myself spiritually, physically, and emotionally stripped naked before a Holy God, and all of hell broke loose, I was utterly ashamed. That was 9 years ago next month. Since then I’ve cut off my bleach streaked hair, thrown my silver in the garbage, (along with my makeup), gave away my money hand over fist, fasted and prayed almost 24/7, moved onto my ex-husbands sofa, while the Lord has done surgery after painful surgery. I lost my friends (so-called), my family rejected me, they thought I was crazy. I quit smoking, drinking, cursing and doing drugs. I don’t even resemble today the person I used to think I was. I’m persecuted day and night by God’s witchcraft infested children, (Father forgive them)
Babylon has been burned out of me in the Fire of Affliction and I agree with you, we’re about to see this happen to everyone of Hus children, and those who choose unrighteousness will pay with their souls.
God help them.
Thank you for sharing Mr. Fyke, God bless.
Thanks for sharing. Repentance is needed and yes, we must turn away from this world and follow Jesus Christ. As Jesus said, few will. God bless you.
You faithfully sounded the alarm Sir. I too quoted those four words from “Daniel” a number of times these ladt few years, and it is the call of the hour. Sadly, not enough watchmen have in our nation. Sweet words of comfort and only good days ahead have taken top billing over ‘Repent’ and ‘Prepare to meet thy maker’. All that matters is we say what we are told by Heaven’s King. God bless you. Remain steady.
Thank you for your edifying words of encouragement. God bless you!
