A Closer Look At The Rapture

http://www.kingdomlife.com/kingdom/britton-rapture.htm
Much more could be said about God's fifty. But space is so
limited. Let us look at what man has done to the precious
anointing. Now there's nothing at all wrong with the
anointing, but the way man has defiled it is terrible. Turn to
Joshua 7:21. The sin of Achan has been uncovered and he is
now making confession..listen..
"When I saw among the spoils a goodly Babylonish garment,
and two hundred shekels of silver, and a wedge of GOLD of
FIFTY shekels weight, then I coveted them, and took them;
and, behold, they are hid IN THE EARTH in the midst of MY
tent, and the silver under it."
Here was a member of the generation, that, as a child, had
been delivered out of Egypt and its idolatry, now bringing the
garment of Babylon right into the camp of Israel. He had his
feet in the promised land, was part of the Army that had
conquered Jericho and seen its walls fall flat. Yet he couldn't
stay away from Babylon.
Notice the wedge was of gold. Divine, from God. Fifty shekels
weight. That is a picture of the anointing. Pentecost. But
what did he do with it? He hid it in the earth, in his tent. And
so it has been. The precious power of Pentecost, the divine
anointing of the Spirit hid, unseen, covered over by the
fleshly manifestations and ambitions of the carnal man. "If
you want it - come to MY tent, join MY denomination or
fellowship. Get your hands dirty in MY earth, and you can
have the divine anointing." Well, I tell you what they did with
that mess...they took the whole caboodle down to the valley
of Achor (which means "trouble") and buried it all under a
huge pile of stones (including Achan, the fellow who defiled
the camp as well as all who dwelled in his house). His sons,
daughters, cattle and sheep. If you are a son of Achan, or a
sheep in his denomination, you'd better change pastures
quick. You'll end up in Achor. The precious anointing is for
us, but not to be buried in man's earth, under his tent.
Amen.
