Sharing the Love of Christ Around the World

THE PRESENT DARKNESS

There is a darkness that has come upon the world. It is transforming our media, entertainment, schools, and marketplaces. This darkness is overturning ancient foundations and destroying morality, values, and faith. It is an unrelenting darkness that seeks total dominion and wants to bend reality into its image. Jonathan’s latest book uncovers prophetic mysteries (some new and some mentioned in previous books that will be taken to the next level) which lie behind this darkness. Despite the progression of darkness in our world, Jonathan says, “There is hope. And there is a template that holds the keys and provides a guide as to how to live and prevail in light of this present and coming darkness.”

ANCIENT CALENDAR

In Jonathan’s books he normally does not mention himself. However, The Josiah Manifesto is different. “I will appear in some of the mysteries… the reason being I could not reveal them without bearing witness to what I saw and heard firsthand,” reveals Jonathan. Some of his previous mysteries revealed in earlier books he will take to the next level. The mysteries he mentions might not seem directly related, but each will help to join “puzzle pieces” together and open the door for the final revelation. He says, “That final revelation will, in turn, provide the answer, the key, the blueprint, and the manifesto.” A few mysteries he shares include:

•    Stranger in the Living Room p. 12 – A man named Samuel met with Jonathan in a living room in New Jersey and asked him to come to his homeland (Cuba). For the first time since Castro took over the island Christians were given a monthlong evangelical celebration. Jonathan was invited to go to Cuba and minister throughout the island as well as sound the ram’s horn the first day of the event. He prayed and asked God what he should share with these people that had been living under Communist rule. Jonathan was led to the message of the Jubilee. The Jubilee was the year of God’s power and blessings. It also represented the year of the return, reconciliation, and restoration. Jonathan points out that, “The word Jubilee comes from the Hebrew word Yovel, which is linked to the blasting of the ram’s horn or the shofar. This act marks the completion of forty-nine years and ushers in the fiftieth – thus the year of the Yovel, or Jubilee. The sound of the ram’s horn evoked the power of God.” At times his translator stumbled through his words fearing they would both end up in one of Castro’s prison camps. Jonathan carried the shofar with him everywhere he went in Cuba but was warned by the government not to attract a crowd outside of the church. One night the group he was with had stopped at a convenience store. As they came out people were gathered around their car. Jonathan was asked to blow the shofar, which he did. When he blew the shofar, a deaf man shrieked loudly because he was able to hear the sound. 

•    Entrance of a Spectator p. 44 – Abortion on demand made its entrance into America in 1970. On January 20, 2020, a virus that originated in the Wuhan providence of China entered our nation. The plague penetrated the United States on the same exact date that abortion on demand began its entrance into America. Jonathan says, “The Jubilee brings reversal and restitution. So, on the Jubilee of the day that began America’s taking of life, the plague would come to take the lives of the generation that had taken the lives of the children. The one was the inversion of the other – and the two days would be joined together by the Jubilee, fifty years to the year, to the month, to the week, and the exact day.” Death begets death.

•    The Eastern and Western Gates p. 58 – In the scriptures, the gate of a nation is the entrances to and from the rest of the world. These gates were often linked to the nation’s darkest sins. For example, Israel would murder its children by the gates. New York (the eastern gate) became a primary gateway through which abortion came to America. In fact, the state accounted for more than half of all the cases performed in America. Fifty years later, the plague (COVID) was a biblical form of judgement which came predominately to New York. More than half of all America’s cases of the pandemic came through the gate and portal of New York. One third of all cases bore the genetic markers of having entered the country through Washington State. Patient zero (first case of COVID in U.S.) landed in Seattle and ignited the first outbreak spreading throughout the nation.

•    The Winds of Hinnom p. 63 – In the book of Jeremiah, he foretold of the correlation between the blood of the children shed in the Valley of Hinnom and the blood to be shed in Jerusalem through war, “The correlation between sin and judgement can be seen again in our nation. There is a connection between the number of children killed in abortion between 1970 and 1973 (1.3 million) and the number of Americans killed by the plague fifty years later between 2020 and the start of 2023 (1.3 million). 

•    Jehu and the Temple of Baal p. 78 – In the Bible, the rise of Jehu is linked to the fall of Baal’s ancient temple in Palmyra, Syria. On January 3, 2021, Congress was consecrated to a pagan god. Democrat, Emanuel Cleaver, led a prophetic address and sealed it with the name Brahma, a Hindu god. Therefore, America’s national temple, The Capital Building, also called the Temple of the American people, became a pagan temple. The new Congress came to the Capitol building with an agenda that was in opposition to the ways of God. They were prepared to enact the most proabortion agenda in American history. 

•    The Mystery of Sivan 23 p. 95 – The twenty third day of the Hebrew month of Sivan was the day to pray for the annulling of evil decrees. In the book of Esther, the Jews of Persia were saved from annihilation because Esther found favor in the King’s eyes who allowed for a second decree to be written to revoke the letters devised by Hamman who wanted to exterminate the Jews. Dobbs v. Jackson was the case that would revoke the evil decree of Roe v. Wade. It was sent to the Supreme Court on the twenty third day of Sivan when the decree of life was sent forth to nullify the decree of death.  

•    The Mystery of Days p. 107 – “The Passover recounts the story of a plague that passed through the land of Egypt, leaving death in its wake,” shares Jonathan. For Passover 2020, people watched in fear as a plague passed through their lands leaving a trail of death in its wake. This holiday was celebrated not only in Israel but America. That Jewish population was most prominent in New York, an area that had been severely impacted by the plague. There was also a lock down in effect, just like the first Passover, where Israelites were told to go inside their homes until the plague passed over. 

•    The Heavenly Court p. 116 – The most sacred and awesome time of the biblical calendar is the Feast of Trumpets or Yom Ha Din, the Day of Judgement. In Psalm 82, God is described as presiding in a heavenly court and rendering judgement on the earth. Judge Ginsburg of the Supreme Court passed away on September 18, 2020, on the Feast of Trumpets. Jonathan shares, "Her passing could be a sign that all must stand before God and that even the highest of judges will be judged in the court of the Most High. And all the judgements and verdicts of man will be judged by the judgement and verdict of God.” The Supreme Court played a critical role in the sanctioning and establishing of abortion throughout America. “The very death of Judge Ginsburg would set in motion a return and repentance – and would begin the overturning,” reveals Jonathan.

•    Child of the Nile p. 129 – Amy Barrett was sworn into office as a Supreme Court justice at the end of October 2020. She was forty-nine. A few months later, she turned fifty when Roe v. Wade was overturned. It was the year of her Jubilee and she cast the deciding vote. Moses came into his calling as the deliverer of his people in the days of the plague. Amy also came into her calling during the days of the plague. She became America’s child of the Nile.                                             

•    The Potter’s Jar p. 137 – Jonathan stood on the stage of the Capitol Building asking God’s mercy on America and the nations (also referenced as The Return). He shared about Jeremiah’s prophecy over Hinnom which focused on a clay vessel, a potter’s jar. Jonathan smashed the clay jar he held onto the stage as a sign of the destruction that would come to America if it continued on its present course. Then Jonathan shared of God’s will to save and restore. He got on his knees and thousands around him on the national mall did the same, interceding for America. This event took place on Shabbot Shuvah, September 26, 2020, which literally means the Sabbath Day of the Return.                                  

•    The Phinehas Factor p. 165 – Phinehas was a priest at the time of Exodus who practiced the ways of God. His nation had turned away from God and was involved with child sacrifice. As a result, a plague broke out among the Israelites. Phinehas intervened to stop the evil. The plague was lifted because of his righteousness. During COVID, the Supreme Court heard the case of Dobbs v. Jackson on December 1. 2021. The paperwork which would reflect the decision to strike down Roe v. Wade was being written by Justice Samuel Alito. The plague was raging across America. The completion of the paperwork took place in the early days of February. Interestingly, the cases of the plague suddenly began to decline. “The descent was so dramatic that by the first half of February, the time when Alito’s paper was finished and then circulated in the Supreme Court, the plague’s infection rate had plunged to almost one-eight of what it had been in January.” (United States of America Situation, WHO)

THE JOSIAH MANIFESTO

Josiah was a descendent of King David and the grandson of the evil king, Manasseh, and son of the evil king, Amon. At sixteen he began to seek God. When he was twenty-six, he decided to repair and restore the Temple of Jerusalem and cleanse his nation of paganism. Some of the things Josiah did to help return the nation to God included: (1) He removed idols from the sanctuary and had them destroyed, (2) Josiah broke down altars (some of which had been erected by his grandfather, Manasseh) on which his people sacrificed to the gods and even destroyed the altars of Baal. As a result, Josiah’s acts did impact his nation. It did bring about a return to God all the days of his reign and averted judgement for a time. Unfortunately, Josiah’s sons returned to apostacy and departed from the ways of God. The armies of Babylon breached the walls of Jerusalem and the temple was destroyed, the city left in ruins, and the kingdom was wiped off the face of the earth. 

In America, on June 24, 2022, an altar was broken with the reversal of Roe v. Wade. “The breaking of America’s altar was a sign that the nation was being given a chance to return (to God),” shares Jonathan. The future of judgement or redemption is dependent on the nation’s response to the call of God (the call of His people). 
    
MANIFESTO FOR THE END TIMES

Jonathan shares some ways the righteous can prevail in the end times:
•    Actively stand against the gods of the age and culture and seek to overturn the altars that have been established in America.
•    Do not be silent or do nothing in the face of evil or falsehood. Use every means in your power whether political, legislative, judicial, or economic to help. 
•    Uphold God’s ways and laws, His creation, His image, and His purposes to stand against the modern-day altars of Baal, Ashtoreth, and Molech.

“I’m 77 years old; I have got to keep moving and I, and I've gotta keep the exercise going and watching what I eat and take care of myself.”



In December 2022, avid biker, Cherlynn Nickerson, took a painful fall off her three-wheeled bike during a neighborhood ride with the Trike Angels, her bike riding group. She ended up in the ER with pain and fluid on her right knee, and after several tests, no remedies from the doctors. She began seeing her chiropractor weekly to try to get the fluid to go away, but to no avail. Even though she had significant trouble walking because of the chronic pain and swelling in the knee, she refused to stop riding.


She was also a faithful watcher of the 700 Club. On April 17, 2023, while rubbing her pained knee, Cherlynn recalls hosts Gordon Robertson and Terry Mueeswen sharing an unexpectedly specific word, clearly meant just for her. 

Gordon said, “Many people have heard the stories of the right knee and you’re going, 'I have knee problems too,' and whether it is the right knee or the left knee or both knees, just lay your hands on your knees right now and when we agree touching them, in Jesus’ name, be healed. Be strengthened. Be made whole. No more pain. No more difficulty but in the name of Jesus, work now and be whole. We receive it now.”


Cherlynn said, “Okay, Lord, I really hope that’s me. Please let it be me.” Terry then continued: “There is someone—they are saying could that possibly be me? This is such a strange thing, but you have a very large red purse. God is healing you. If you have a red patent leather purse, know that is your miracle.” 

Cherlynn said, “I knew it was for me because it was so specific; the fact that God gave her those words: ‘a red large patent leather purse,’ I thought, that has got to be me. Everybody knows I carry my red purse and they see it all the time. Then, immediately, I bent my knee that was swollen and had been hurting. I could bend my knee all the way without it hurting!”

Following her healing, Cherlynn remains pain free! In her words, “It’s made a difference in how I pray...I'm part of the prayer ministry team at our church. I pray for people. This has given me more faith to absolutely stand in the gap for people and believe that God can heal them in a mightier way…my faith is much stronger to dig in there and tell all the people I meet, ‘You need to stand on this believing and having faith that God is going to hear this prayer.’” 


Cherlynn wants to encourage people in their faith to know that God is real, and that He does heal.
 

Mallory is a single mother of four. During the pandemic her husband abandoned them and she has been working hard ever since to support her children. Many times there is only enough money for them to eat once a day. “There are nights when we sleep without eating,” said Mallory with tears in her eyes. “For me it is so painful to watch my kids when they have nothing to eat.” 

To earn money, she sold rice with a boiled egg, a traditional Peruvian food. She only earned a dollar per meal. “I only make enough to buy breakfast. There is no food for lunch and sometimes dinner. I'm afraid they might get sick from not eating well enough.”  

10-year-old, Daniel, is adorable! He is also the oldest of the four kids. He worries a lot about his little brothers. “I feel pain inside when I see my brothers cry from not having enough to eat. We don't have enough money.” 

Additionally, their wooden house was rotting and in danger of collapse. “I am afraid at night that my house will fall and that my brothers will die. The walls, the boards, everything is rotten,” Daniel told us. 

So Operation Blessing provided some help. First, we built Marllory and the boys a new house with a kitchen, bedrooms, and a bathroom. “We feel safe now!” said a grateful mom. “My children sleep peacefully in their own beds. Before we had nowhere to eat. We ate on the floor. Now I have my own dining room and I enjoy it with my children!” 

Next, we delivered appliances and food that allowed Mallory to expand her business selling food right from her new home. “I am so grateful to God and to everyone who gave us a new house and everything for my business. We are moving forward thanks to you!”  

And Daniel was happy for another reason: “I am happy because we now eat 3 times a day!” he said with a grin. “And my dream of a new house with everything in it has come true! Thank you very much and God bless you!”  
 

“One night I was asleep, it was early in the morning, and I heard some noise in the living room and yeah, I got up out of bed, and there’s someone in my living room. And so, I go after him. And I move him out of the way pretty easily, and what I didn’t see was two other people and they stood up and one of them had a gun and I remember looking at the gun being pointed at me and the last noise that I remember hearing was the gunshot go off,” said Drew Anderson.

He was on a crash course with destruction long before he was shot in the face during a random home invasion. He was adopted from Korea by military parents when he was a child. They moved frequently, leaving Drew longing for a sense of identity.

“You know, I was given up at birth. And so I just really struggled, you know, to identify with where I belonged and who I was, and so I just literally became a kid who existed until it was time to exist somewhere else,” said Drew.  

When he was 14 his parents retired in San Antonio. Desperate for friendships, Drew quickly got in with a rough crowd. “I wanted to belong to something. And so, I started to look for that and it ended up being the people who wanted to take advantage of my vulnerability and-and my emotional, you know, situation where I was literally just desperately searching for somebody to accept me. You know, I went from being a pretty innocent, silent kid to being very vocal, very aggressive, very outspoken, smoking weed, drinking, small criminal stuff like theft and breaking into people’s homes. And it just – it moved very, very quickly because I was finally getting acceptance, affirmation, and I felt as if I belong to something,” remembers Drew.

When he left home at 17 he felt empowered to explore his new identity. Cocaine use became a daily obsession. He recalls, “I became lawless, drugs all day, high on cocaine. Now I’m going to rob people. Now I’m going to sell at a higher ratio. I’m going to sell more; I’m going to make more money. And so the flood gates of bad activity and criminal activity just opened all the way up.”

Cocaine fueled him and gave Drew a feeling of invincibility. "People respect me more when I’m on this stuff. People take me more seriously when I’m on this stuff. And so it felt as if it – next to a heartbeat that it was the second most necessary thing in my life to be on. I was definitely addicted, but addiction wasn’t even how I felt it. It was just, 'I need this because it makes me who I am,'” said Drew.

Then, in 2012 Drew confronted the men who broke into his home. The bullet to his face lacerated his brain instead of travelling right through it. He woke days later in the hospital broken and helpless. “When I woke up I couldn’t hear out of my right ear. I couldn’t open my mouth and speak, the first question I had that I wrote on my little board was, 'What happened?' You know, and they’re like, 'You got shot with a .45 caliber handgun from nearly pointblank range and you should not be alive.'”

Drew continues, “I had a nurse that was assigned to my room one of the very first days I was there, she sat in the chair next to me and started to read the Bible and started to pray, and I wish I could have told her to leave or, you know, to get out because that’s definitely what I wanted her to do, but I couldn’t because my mouth was wired shut.” 

His nurse continued to visit Drew and read the Bible faithfully for the next 90 days.

“She just stayed consistent,” says Drew. “Came in and told me, 'I’ve looked at your chart, I know what you’ve been through, I know that you’ve got this going on. You shouldn’t be alive, but you're alive and God has plans for you. You know, God wants to do something in your life.' And you know, over time as it passed and her consistence grew, I just submitted to it. And by the time I left the hospital, you know, she asked me a question. And she was like, 'Promise me that you’re going to go find a church.' She had earned my trust, and she had earned my respect in her consistency and so I told her I would.”

The very next day Drew stepped into a church. In a moment he found what he had longed for his entire life.

“I walk into this church and I’m – got watery eyes and I don’t really understand why but then the pastor at the time has an impromptu altar call right in the middle of worship, offering people the chance to accept Jesus as their Lord and Savior. I just – I just wept, man. I accepted Jesus as my Lord and Savior. I felt this – just this weight come off of me and I was just crying, unexplainably crying, full peace had come over me,” said Drew.

Drew was set free from cocaine and his identity was redefined as he immersed himself in the Bible and his new church community. “When I started to read His word I felt different. When I started to pray, I felt the peace that I had always looked for. I started to read my identity in a book and found my identity in the Lord,” recalls Drew.

Drew says he is thankful his life was spared and for a second chance to find meaning and purpose in the time he’s been given.

“I lost so much time, I lost, you know, a lot of people. I lost time even with my parents. And man, God has restored it all. You know, I have a beautiful wife, beautiful family, ministry. Tons of spiritual kids now because I’m a youth pastor and I’m so grateful that Jesus stepped in, and that Jesus made Himself known to me when I would have never sought Him out."
