The Five Angels of the ContinentsMessage given by Dr. Samuel Doctorian 16 August 1998 on the Isle of Patmos |
||||||
I was here alone in a house
on the Isle of Patmos for several weeks to pray and seek
the Lord. I found a little chapel - St.Nicholas' Chapel -
where no one ever goes. I went there and poured out my
heart before God. I found a rock on the side of a hill
where I would go to sit and pray - meditating and reading
the Bible. I ate very little during those days. Several times I went to the cave of John where he saw the great Revelation. While meditating for one month in this solitary place, I thought, "I wonder if the Lord will ever send a tenth angel?" I'd seen angels nine times before - in England ... in Belgrade, Yugoslavia ... in Amman, Jordan ... in Jerusalem ... an angel that delivered a woman from being hanged in upper Egupt ... I saw the ninth angel in Beirut in the midst of war. The angel physically awakened me at 3.00 in the morning and told me to get out of the country immediately. I am grateful to the Lord until today - I don't know what might have happened to me if the angel had not come. Heaven will tell that one day. So I wondered whether I would see an angel for the tenth time. There were times when I was praying when I felt such a presence I asked, "Lord, I wonder if an angel is coming now?" But it was not so. One night, I even dreamt about an angel. He has told me to fly in my dream and I did - but that was only a dream. I wanted to see a real angel, as I had seen nine times before. On June 20 at 3.50 am here in Patmos, suddenly my room was full of light ... and there are no lights around here. It is a house all by itself at the end of the road near a monastery. Lo and behold - when I was wide awake - I saw five beautiful angels. I saw their faces - perfect and human-like, but full of light. I saw their eyes, their hair, their hands ... On my right side were two angels, and when I looked to the left I saw three other angels with wings. They had beautiful white robes falling to the floor - something I can't describe with human words. I wondered why five angels had come, but I was trembling and shaking. I wanted to cry, but I could not. Just before I saw these angels in the spirit, I had seen myself in a great meeting of multitudes, and I was preaching in English. An interpreter was on my left with dark hair and a gray suit, but I can't remember what language he was speaking. I was prophesying this message; "My church, you preach love, you teach love, but you need to practice love - to show love. There is need of unity in my body. There are many divisions among you. My spirit will not move and work where there is no unity. There is carnality in my church; too much uncleanness in my church. I desire and I want a holy people. I died to make you holy." While I was prophesying in the spirit I was trembling. My eyes were open and I was looking at the great multitude. And suddenly, in the midst of that prophecy, these mighty angels appeared. I went back from the pulpit and thought I was going to fall down. I am now wide awake, but this is all happening in the spirit. Some power helped me not to fall down and I wondered what was happening. Then suddenly the first angel on my right side said,
"We are five angels from the five continents. We are
here to give you messages from the five continents of the
world." The moment I heard that, I also heard the
multitude crying out, "Ohhh, Ohhh, Ohhh..." I
believe the multitude saw the angels also. Somehow the
Lord showed me that in the days to come, in many parts of
the world, God is going to reveal Himself through
ministering angels. It's going to happen publicly; it's
going to happen in churches - thousands of people seeing
angels at the same time. They will be ministering to the
Body in these last days. Then came this message from the
angel; "What you see and hear, tell it to the
nations." First angel: "I am the angel of Asia," he said. And in
his hand I saw a tremendous trumpet that he is going to
blow all over Asia. Whatever the angel said, it's going
to happen with the trumpet of the Lord all over Asia. I saw this on June 20. Today is August 16. A few weeks
ago I heard the news of villages completely wiped out and
washed into the sea in Papua New Guinea. Thousands of
lives in great jeopardy. That happened a few weeks ago,
and the angel told me it is going to happen all over
Asia. I was trembling while the angel was speaking. Then he looked at me and smiled and said, "There shall be the greatest spiritual awakening - bondages will be broken. Barriers will be removed. And all over Asia - China - India - people will turn to Christ. In Australia there shall be tremendous revival." I heard the angel of Asia say, "It is the last harvest." Then as if the Lord were speaking, he said, "I shall prepare My church for the return of Christ." I was happy with such good news after the message of judgment. All the time the five angels were in my room I could feel their presence - it was tremendous. Second Angel: I heard these words, "Israel. Oh Israel, the great judgment has come." The angel said, "The chosen, the church, the remnant, shall be purified. The Spirit of God shall prepare the children of God." I saw fires rising to heaven. The angel said, "This is the final judgment. My church shall be purified, protected, and ready for the final day. Men will die from thirst. Water shall be scarce all over the Middle East. Rivers shall dry up, and men will fight for water in those countries." The angel showed me that the United Nations shall be broken in pieces because of the crisis in the Middle East. There shall be no more Untied Nations. The angel with the sickle shall reap the harvest. Third Angel: Suddenly I heard earthquakes all over Europe. "Countries that have had no earthquakes shall be shaken," said the angel. And suddenly, in my spirit, I saw the Eiffel Tower in Paris crumbling, falling down. A great part of Germany destroyed. The great city of London - destruction everywhere. I saw floods all over Scandinavia. I looked to the south and saw Spain and Portugal passing through hunger and great destruction. Many will die from hunger all over Spain and Portugal. I was disturbed by all this news, and I said "Lord, what about your children? The angel said, "I shall prepare them. They shall be looking for the appearing of the Lord. Many will cry to me in those days and I will save them. I shall perform mighty miracles for them and show them My power." So in the midst of great destruction, there will be grace of God in those countries. I was so happy that God has His protection over His children. Fourth Angel: My sword shall judge the unrighteous and the bloodthirsty. So many earthquakes shall happen that rivers shall flow different directions in the continent, flooding many villages." I saw great pieces falling from the sky over different parts of Africa. "There shall be trembling of the earth like has not been seen since the creation. None shall escape the sword of the Lord." I saw the River Nile drying up. It is the god of Egypt. Fishes dead and stinking all over Egypt. A great part of the middle of Africa will be covered with water - millions dying. "Lord," I said, "It is all bad news. All destruction. Any good news?" The Lord said, "The final day has come. Judgment day is here. My love has been refused now, and the end has come." I was shaking and trembling. I thought, "I cannot bear it." Fifth Angel: When I heard all that, I begged the angel, "Can you not wait for a little while? Don't pour it. Give a chance for repentance." The angel said, "Many times God has spared and has spoken, but they have not listened. His patience has come to an end. But now the time has come. They have loved money and pleasure more than they have loved Me." As the angel began to pour from the bowl in his hand, I saw tremendous icebergs melting. When that happened I saw floods all over Canada and North America - all the rivers flooded; destruction everywhere. I heard the world market collapsing with mighty earthquakes, and New York skyscrapers were tumbling - millions dying. I saw ships in the ocean sinking. I heard explosions all over the north country. I saw the angel pouring over Mexico, ad two oceans joining together - the Atlantic and the Pacific. A great part of north Brazil covered with water; the Amazon River turning into a great sea. Forests destroyed and flooded. Major cities in Brazil destroyed; earthquakes in many places. As the angel poured, great destruction took place in Chile and Argentina as never before. The whole world was shaking. Then I heard the angel say, "This will happen in a very short time." I said, "Can't you postpone? Don't pour these things out all over the globe." And suddenly I saw the five angels standing around the globe lifting up their hands and their wings towards heaven and saying, "All glory to the Lord of heaven and earth. Now the time has come and he will glorify His Son. The earth shall be burned and destroyed. All things shall pass away. The New Heaven and New Earth shall come. God shall destroy the works of the devil forever. I shall show My power - how I will protect My children in the midst of all this destruction. Be ready for that day, for the Lord has come." My room was full of light from the brightness of the angels. Then suddenly they ascended up to the heaven. As I looked up I saw the angels go in five different directions. I know they already have started their duties. For more than an hour I could not move. I was wide awake, trembling from time to time. I said, "Lord, shall I leave Patmos now?" He said, "No, I brought you here for a purpose." I said, "The message from the angels all over the world is not good news. It is judgment, punishment, destruction, devastation. What will people say about me? I've always been a preacher of love, peace and good news." The angel said, "It is our message. You are the instrument, the channel. What a privilege that God has chosen you to give this message to the nations." I said, "Lord, Thy will be done." Scripture References: This message was transcribed by Ruthanne Garlock from a tape we received in Singapore on August 30, 1998 from Wee Tiong Howe. He had just returned from the Isle of Patmos where he attended a prayer retreat with a small group of Singaporeans, and where Samuel Doctorian related this experience to them.We do not personally know Dr Doctorian (a naturalised American) but his ministry is well spoken of by many of our friends in Singapore. THANK YOU FOR VISITING! GOD BLESS YOU!
