The Spirit of Elijah... Part 4
God’s destiny for South Africa…
Open the gates, that the [uncompromisingly] righteous nation, which keeps her faith and her troth [with God] may enter in. 3 You will guard him and keep him in perfect and constant peace whose mind [both its inclination and its character] is stayed on You, because he commits himself to You, leans on You, and hopes confidently in You.

God’s destiny for South Africa…
The Gautrain…
That night, during the worship service the Lord showed me many visions for the country of South Africa, revealing His plan and destiny for this nation. While I was in the Spirit, that which I had interceded for, while praying in the Spirit for a long time, without knowing its interpretation, through the gift of the interpretation of the tongues, suddenly came to me.
On the 28th of October 2006 the construction of the largest transit railway commenced in South Africa. A 80-kilometre mass rapid transit railway system, which is under construction in the Gauteng Province, South Africa that will ultimately link Johannesburg, Pretoria, and OR Tambo
Then the Lord opened the eyes of my spirit and I saw cement being poured into out of a concrete mixer. I was reminded of one of the largest cement producing companies in South Africa - PPC.

International Airport. It is hoped that this railway will relieve the traffic congestion in the Johannesburg – Pretoria traffic corridor as well as offer commuters a viable alternative to road transport, as Johannesburg has a limited public transport infrastructure. The project is called the Gautrain. See Wikipedia. Over 200 000 tons of PPC’s CEM 1 product is at the heart of the Gautrain infrastructure.
Mining…
Mining
in South Africa has been the main driving force behind the history and development of Africa's most advanced and richest economy. Large scale and profitable mining started with the discovery of a diamond on the banks of the Orange River in 1867 by Erasmus Jacobs and the subsequent discovery and exploitation of the Kimberley pipes a few years later. Gold rushes to Pilgrim's Rest and Barberton were precursors to the biggest discovery of all, the Main Reef/Main Reef Leader on Gerhardus Oosthuizen's farm Langlaagte, Portion C, in 1886 and the consequent rapid development of the Witwatersrand gold field, the biggest of them all.
The CEM1 cement, typically used for the construction of dam walls and other massive projects, has been used for the shotcrete in the tunnelling, as well as in the precast yard for the viaduct segments and tunnel lining segments. A fleet of bulk tankers delivers the PPC cement seven days a week to six different station sites along the Gautrain route: O.R. Tambo International Airport, Pretoria, Midrand, Sandton, Rosebank and Park Station. The project aims to be finished by 2010, before the world soccer cup is hosted in South Africa.
Diamond and gold production may now be well down from their peaks, though South Africa is still number 2 in gold[1] but South Africa remains a cornucopia of mineral riches. It is the world's largest producer[2] of chrome, manganese, platinum, vanadium and vermiculite. It is the second largest producer [3] of ilmenite, palladium, rutile and zirconium. It is also the world's third largest coal exporter.[4]
South Africa’s Resources After this the Lord showed me a mine shaft tower. Then the word of the Lord came to me, saying: “Sasol and Mossgas”. I knew what these words referred to. These were petroleum industries, which were some of South Africa’s biggest locally developed industrial companies. These industries were developed locally, during the time of sanctions against South Africa, because of apartheid. Praise God who has ever since broken the barrier of prejudice and hatred in people’s hearts. One of the greatest returns to God’s word and His commandments in history are on its way in this country at the most southern tip of Africa.

God’s Promise and Warning to South Africa… After this word from the Lord, the word of the Lord according to scripture, as was written by the prophet Isaiah, came to me, as I asked the Lord Jesus to confirm His word to me: 1 “In that day shall this song be sung in the land of Judah: (South Africa) We have a strong city; [the Lord] sets up salvation as walls and bulwarks. 2 Open the gates, that the [uncompromisingly] righteous nation which keeps her faith and her troth [with God] may enter in. 3 You will guard him and keep him in perfect and constant peace whose mind [both its inclination and its character] is stayed on You, because he commits himself to You, leans on You, and hopes confidently in You. 4 So trust in the Lord (commit yourself to Him, lean on Him, hope confidently in Him) forever; for the Lord God is an everlasting Rock [the Rock of Ages].

Mossgas: Exploration in South Africa is managed by Petroleum Agency of South Africa, which has been soliciting bids for offshore acreage off the Southern and Western coasts of South Africa. To date South Africa's upstream has played a minimal role in the evolution of the South African oil industry. Extensive exploration over a period of more than thirty years has revealed no onshore hydrocarbons. However small oil and gas fields have been discovered offshore, particularly in the Bredasdorp basin and off the West Coast of South Africa near the Namibian border.

You [O Lord] in the night, yes, my spirit within me seeks You earnestly; for [only] when Your judgments are in the earth will the inhabitants of the world learn righteousness (uprightness and right standing with God).
we have been writhing and in pain; we have, as it were, brought forth [only] wind. We have not wrought any deliverance in the earth, and the inhabitants of the world [of Israel] have not yet been born.
10 Though favour is shown to the wicked, yet they do not learn righteousness; in the land of uprightness they deal perversely and refuse to see the majesty of the Lord. 11 Though Your hand is lifted high to strike, Lord, they do not see it. Let them see Your zeal for Your people and be ashamed; yes, let the fire reserved for Your enemies consume them.
19 Your dead shall live [O Lord]; the bodies of our dead [saints] shall rise. You who dwell in the dust, awake and sing for joy! For Your dew [O Lord] is a dew of [sparkling] light [heavenly, supernatural dew]; and the earth shall cast forth the dead [to life again; for on the land of the shades of the dead You will let Your dew fall]. [Ezek. 37:11-12.]
12 Lord, You will ordain peace (God's favour and blessings, both temporal and spiritual) for us, for You have also wrought in us and for us all our works.
20 Come, my people, enter your chambers and shut your doors behind you; hide yourselves for a little while until the [Lord's] wrath is past. 21 For behold, the Lord is coming out of His place [heaven] to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity; the earth also will disclose the blood shed upon her and will no longer cover her slain and conceal her guilt.

The Lord Jesus, promised long ago, by the mouth of the prophet Isaiah that He would call a nation to return in repentance toward Him, saying: “Open the gates, that the [uncompromisingly] righteous nation which keeps her faith and her troth [with God] may enter in. 3 You will guard him and keep him in perfect and constant peace whose mind [both its inclination and its character] is stayed on You, because he commits himself to You, leans on You, and hopes confidently in You. 4 So trust in the Lord (commit yourself to Him, lean on Him, hope confidently in Him) forever; for the Lord God is an everlasting Rock [the Rock of Ages].” (Isa 26:2-4) Ampl

South Africa has been very harshly ruled by her task masters who kept her in the bondage of the old roots of freemasonry. Therefore the prophet said: 13 O Lord, our God, other masters besides You have ruled over us, but we will acknowledge and mention Your name only. 14 They [the former tyrant masters] are dead, they shall not live and reappear; they are powerless ghosts, they shall not rise and come back. Therefore You have visited and made an end of them and caused every memory of them [every trace of their supremacy] to perish. Yashua is breaking and removing the old yokes that former ideologies has had upon us and our land. God has very steadily, through prayer warriors and intercessors been removing the powers that have kept us in slavery for nearly 340 years. Even the old names of places and cities are slowly being removed.
increased the nation. You are glorified; You have enlarged all the borders of the land. 16 Lord, when they were in trouble and distress, they sought and visited You; they poured out a prayerful whisper when Your chastening was upon them. 17 As a woman with child drawing near the time of her delivery is in pain and writhes and cries out in her pangs, so we have been before You (at Your presence), O Lord.” (Isa 26:15-17) Ampl In great power God has been returning all people back to him. Starting in Capetown South Africa a wave of prayer and repentance has washed across the face of the earth. The Holy Spirit revealed that God would do a special thing in the last days before Yashua’s return. The prophecy referred to a people and a country that would learn righteousness before Yashua’s return and then receive God’s approval, as was prophesied: 12 Lord, You will ordain peace (God's favour and blessings, both temporal and spiritual) for us, for You have also wrought in us and for us all our works. God would accomplish mighty and powerful deeds in this people or nation before the end comes.
For those who refuse to learn righteousness God says: “…refuse to see the majesty of the Lord. 11 Though Your hand is lifted high to strike, Lord, they do not see it. Let them see Your zeal for Your people and be ashamed; yes, let the fire reserved for Your enemies consume them.” Yashua warns the people of that nation or land who will not give ear to His warning that they will be stuck by God and will be consumed from the land. They will be treated as God’s enemies. See the prophecy: The Breaker is Coming & Prophecy to Southern Africa – One Last chance
Although this prophecy is not only for one particular nation, but for those “whose mind [both its inclination and its character] is stayed on You, because he commits himself to You, leans on You, and hopes confidently in You”, the country of South Africa will be prepared to fulfil her destiny when she accepts all God’s requirements for her righteousness before the end comes.
But Yashua said He would bless the people and nation whose “…heartfelt desire is for Your name and for the remembrance of You” and will give them true peace and wrought His mighty deeds and wonders in and through such a people. Yashua also promise that He would increase this nation and increase their borders, as is written: “15 You have increased the nation, O Lord; You have

Lord]; the bodies of our dead [saints] shall rise. You who dwell in the dust, awake and sing for joy! For Your dew [O Lord] is a dew of [sparkling] light [heavenly, supernatural dew]; and the earth shall cast forth the dead [to life again; for on the land of the shades of the dead You will let Your dew fall]. [Ezek. 37:11-12.]
God is calling the nation of South Africa, with her rich resources in mining and fossil fuels, who has so much potential, to glorify His Name in this last hour. Therefore the Holy Spirit pointed towards another date in the future, just before Yashua’ return, that He would again pour out His Spirit, as He had done on the day of Pentecost, 2000 years ago, calling it the ‘dew of sparkling light,’ which God would pour out on that nation, who trusts and rely on Him,
Not only does the prophet see the death of the servants of Yashua, but also a land on which the ‘dew from heaven’ will fall. This dew is the same as the spiritual bread, which God gave the Israelites in the wilderness, feeding them with the bread from heaven, which is the Holy Spirit.
All these things will come to pass just before the days of the resurrection of the dead, as Yashua said: 29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not shed its light, and the stars will fall from the sky, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken.
“On the final and most important day of the Feast, Jesus stood, and He cried in a loud voice: “If any man is thirsty, let him come to Me and drink! 38 He who believes in Me [who cleaves to and trusts in and relies on Me] as the Scripture has said: “From his innermost being shall flow [continuously] springs and rivers of living water.”” 39 But He was speaking here of the Spirit, Whom those who believed (trusted, had faith) in Him were afterward to receive. For the [Holy] Spirit had not yet been given, because Jesus was not yet glorified (raised to honour). (John 7:37-39) Ampl Yashua prophesied about the Holy Spirit that would be poured out on the day of Pentecost.
[Isa. 13:10; 34:4; Joel 2:10, 11; Zeph. 1:15.] 30 THEN the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn and beat their breasts and lament in anguish, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory [in brilliancy and splendor]. [Dan. 7:13; Rev. 1:7.] 31 And He will send out His angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather His elect (His chosen ones) from the four winds, [even] from one end of the universe to the other. [Isa. 27:13; Zech. 9:14.] 32 From the fig tree learn this lesson: as soon as its young shoots become soft and tender and it puts out its leaves, you know of a surety that summer is near. 33 So also when you see these signs, all taken together, coming to pass, you may know of a surety that He is near, at the very doors. 34 Truly I tell you, this generation (the whole multitude of people living at the same time, in a definite, given period) will not pass away till all these things taken together take place. (Mat 24:29-34) Ampl
Now, once more, just before Yashua, our Messiah, is revealed, to come and take away a spotless bride, He will once more, pour out His ‘dew’ on those whose hearts fully rely on and are committed to Him. The question remains: “Will God find such a nation on the face of the earth, who will fully obey His Word and purpose for them in this generation?”

mankind and for the coming of Jesus Christ, I fell on my knees before the Lord and wept before Him.
Some in this generation, that you and I are living in, will see ‘all these things taken together’ take place. Our very eyes will see it happen before we pass away.
On the last night of the week, Rodney laid his hand upon all those who were in the building, anointing both men and women with oil, for the tasks, which God had called them to do in this generation. Then Spirit of the Lord came upon me, as he touched me with the tip of his finger. I could not remain standing, because of the power of God. It felt like a pinnacle of power came through me. I felt like I broke like glass as a surge of God’s Power, like a bolt of electricity went through me. I fell to the ground, because of the power of God and was immediately in the Spirit.
Go before Him in the Spirit of Elijah… Then the word of the Lord came to me in a question, saying: "Would you do what ever I ask you to do?" I eagerly said: “Yes Lord!” Then as the Lord spoke I saw in the spirit a young boy running up to Rodney Howard Brown with a white cloth. I realized that God had asked me to go and give this man a white cloth. The word of the Lord came to me again, saying: “I am looking for only one man who would obey me in everything I ask him to do then I will turn this country back towards Me!” I was eager to obey the Lord’s desire and command for my life.
While I was in the Spirit, I could feel how someone was untying my shoe laces. Then the word of the Lord came to me: "Take off your shoes for the place where you are standing is holy ground for Moses and Elijah are here.”
After this the Spirit of Yashua reminded me of another vision, which He had given me on the 11th of November 2003, during worship, before another speaker, Bruce Wilkinson, started to preach at another large gathering - in Pretoria. In a vision the Lord showed me how He would open the double doors to the world through the Southern part of Africa, indicating that He would use the nations of Southern Africa - Namibia, Botswana, Zimbabwe and South Africa, to become the bread basket of the world. God was going to use the industries and the mineral wealth of Southern Africa to bring the gospel of the Light of the Glory of the Lord to the entire world. See the Newsletter: Opening the Double Doors
As I looked up in the Spirit, I saw a man in snow white clothes, for no bleach could bleach his clothes that white. I knew who this man was. It was Elijah that stood right next to me in the Spirit. Then I as I looked, I saw how golden coins were being poured in from heaven. These coins fell into my belly. Then I heard the Lord say to me: "Now all the riches are in your belly.” As I was lying on the ground the most awesome thing happened. Suddenly I felt a new anointing come upon me. I could very clearly and distinctly feel how the Spirit of Elijah came and remained upon me. I could even feel the very beard and hair of Elijah on my face.
When I realized that all these things were happing to us and that the Holy Spirit had, 3.5 years ago, foretold that the Lord would allow me to see the day when the Spirit of Elijah would be poured out in South Africa – Pretoria, for the preparation of all
Then the word of the Lord came to me again, asking me: “What are you going to do with this anointing?” Then, making a prophetic action, as if to through this gift into South Africa - Pretoria, I cast this gift to the city of Pretoria and South Africa.

That night, as we drove back home, we drove past the Voortrekker Monument, just as the Lord had shown me in a vision, three and a half years before, of a chariot of fire coming around the Voortrekker Monument, coming into Pretoria, South Africa.
His power have come. All Glory to Yashua alone. Amen.
Suddenly, the Lord Jesus opened my understanding. I realized that the Lord had beforehand, told me how the Spirit of Elijah would come to the city of Pretoria, the capital of South Africa, where were living. How He would grant, as He had promised, three years before, allowing the Mantle of Elijah to rest upon me, as the Holy Spirit prompted me to ask Him, confirming it through the interpretation of the gift of tongues. I knew God had called me to prepare the way before Him so that a highway would be made ready for the Glory of the Lord to be revealed and so that no one would be caught off guard, but would be ready to receive the Holy Spirit’s out pouring, so that they could finish the last mile to the finish line, before Yashua comes to fetch His bride. Right at the end of the meeting, in obedience, I ran up to Rodney, and gave him a white cloth, as God had asked me to do in testing my obedience towards Him. Rodney blessed me and laid his hand upon me. Therefore by the authority given me from heaven I warn and prepare all men, starting in South Africa and then the whole world to turn back to God in whole hearted commitment, accepting His righteousness and the price that He had paid for us on the cross, so that you also could eat the dew which would be poured out in full strength for those who are ready. May the Father of heaven, the Creator of heaven and earth, pour out His love on the righteous nation who is able to recognise the year of His favour and the day of
