The Holy Spirit says things and causes things to be said but sometimes shows to the doubtful that these things are from Him by the sign of causing one person to say it in a mysterious language they do not know (tongues of angels) then causing another who does not know the mysterious language to understand the message by spiritual power. Words He gives this way include words like these (given in a church in Kingswood near Bristol, UK in the mid nineties):
"Consider the trees how they bud and put out leaves. They do this by the authority and power of the name of The Lord Jesus."
Now compare this to words from thousands of years ago written by a great prophet and it is clear that this same Holy Spirit was inspiring the prophet (written by the prophet 'Enoch' also known as Enmendurana, seventh king of Sumer, around 2500 BC):
"Consider how the trees, when they put forth their green leaves, become covered, and produce fruit; understanding everything, and knowing that He who lives for ever does all these things for you: That the works at the beginning of every existing year, that all his works, are subservient to him, and invariable; yet as God has appointed, so are all things brought to pass."
The way I came to know this was quite extraordinary because I sat in the church in the nineties and heard those words in tongues spoken by a leader there (who I had never met before) and minutes later the words were interpreted and spoken in English by him. However, before he interpreted them, the words in tongues had already become English words by the Spirit within my mind as I heard them. This was before I ever saw the words in the prophesy of Enoch so when I saw such similar words in a copy of The Book of Enoch in a bookshop (SPCK in Park Street, Bristol, UK in the mid nineties) I knew they were from the same spirit as inspired them in the church assembly.
So I knew this was the same Spirit inspiring me as inspired the leader speaking in church but not only us but also the wellknown ancient prophet whose writings are in the Book of Enoch. And the early Christian writers knew and quoted from those writings as being inspired by the same Holy Spirit who inspired them too and most of all who came by the promise and petitioning of The Lord Jesus, The Christ.
Some weeks or months later another series of words came into my mind like subtitles on a TV screen as I meditated on what I might say to another church where I attended and they were "Israel has sinned and there will be this sign to you" and I saw in my mind as a vision a great black eagle or vulture with a white eye overhead. Later I found a similar prophesy in the Old Testament I never knew was there which was so similar I had to conclude that the same Spirit again as had spoken to this prophet Hosea had spoken those words in me. The words had their sign fulfilled over the coming days first with spy planes on the news on TV then a police helicopter on local news with white searchlight and camera at the front then the mass surveillance ever since and still today. The police called their helicopter Operation Vulture.
Hosea chapter 8 starts "Put the trumpet to your lips! An eagle is over the house of the Lord because the people have broken my covenant..."
That same week after I mentioned the words in that church the police helicopter was over the church building as police below chased a man up on the roof of a nearby house. Later the eyes in the sky became so commonplace that a film of that name has been released but in the time I had the vision it was unheard of and the police helicopter had been the first of a new inprecedented police helicopter service back then in the nineties I could not have known would happen.
Clearly God doesn't treat lightly the breaking of His covenants and is letting it be known to His House.
