The World’s Stage is Set with its Actors…
“Then the Pharisees and Sadducees came, and testing Him asked that He would show them a sign from heaven. 2 He answered and said to them, “When it is evening you say, ‘It will be fair weather, for the sky is red’; 3 and in the morning, ‘It will be foul weather today, for the sky is red and threatening.’ Hypocrites! You know how to discern the face of the sky, but you cannot discern the signs of the times. 4 A wicked and adulterous generation seeks after a sign, and no sign shall be given to it except the sign of the prophet Jonah.” And He left them and departed” Matthew 16:1-4.
“Look to Me when the storms rise up against you”, says the Lord.
“Look to Me when the mountains quake and fall. This is a season of anticipation”, says the Lord.
“What lies ahead, you may ask? A weatherman may report storms or sunny skies during the next week. But who can say what is involved in the next season? Who would know how the skirmish would end in Israel? Who would know what the ultimate plan is for Russia? The world stands in hush before the storm. The world’s stage is set with its actors. The chessboard is set for these final days. The Olive Tree and its budding has begun.
Armies gather and muster. Border disputes continue. The innocent suffer loss at the hands of man. What price do you put on the head of a child? How does a family sustain itself in the midst of a battle?
The battlefields you see today are but a taste of what is to come. When the wars come to your own land then it becomes more personal. The players are set; the game is in motion.”
Selah,

Stephen Hanson of In His Truth Ministries came to the LORD is a special way in 1975 and has prophesied regularly since. In these end-time birthing pangs we are reminded that judgment must first begin with the household of God. Will we be prepared and ready?
On August 12, 2014, the Lord showed me a ‘black minstrel’ from the Black and White Minstrel Show. There was darkness in the background, so the minstrel (wordplay on ‘minister’) blended-in with the background (Isa 60:2). Smoke and darkness can affect vision or understanding (1 John 2:9 -11). I could discern that the ‘black minstrel’ wanted to entertain people; this represents deception through entertainment. Entertainment will overtake the spotlight (truth). The Father is saying that churches can become stages. “The musical performance portions [of the show] were initially white parodies of black music…”

According to the above source, even African-American minstrels were in blackface.
