The Work of the House of Joseph

THE WORK OF THE HOUSE OF JOSEPH

President Bill Clinton was a manifestation of the biblical King Ahab during his presidency and beyond. Though he was highly immoral in his character, he was also religious in his own way. I recall how the prophet Paul Cain (recently deceased) talked to him personally and how Bill even cried because he was too deeply entrenched in the Babylonian system to turn to God. Knowing Paul Cain’s ability to search the hearts of men, I can only imagine how Clinton must have seen the evidence of the power of God.

1 Corinthians 14:24, 25 says,

²⁴ But if all prophesy, and an unbeliever or an ungifted man enters, he is convicted by all, he is called to account by all; ²⁵ the secrets of his heart are disclosed, and so he will fall on his face and worship God, declaring that God is certainly among you.

Shortly before Paul Cain died, he contemplated attending one of our conferences, as we had a mutual friend (Chris Reed). I believe that Chris now carries the remarkable anointing that Paul Cain had. He has just been designated as Rick Joyner’s successor to Morningstar Ministries in North Carolina.

As for Bill Clinton, recall that his humbling on September 11, 1998 gave America a three-year extension of grace before God brought America into its time of judgment. This judgment began with the Twin Towers demolition on September 11, 2001, and America was thrust into a time of trouble, which has been labeled the “war on terror.”

For this reason, the Bill Clinton era did not truly end with the inauguration of President Bush in January of 2001. The Clinton-Ahab era did not end fully until September 11, 2001, at which time we entered into the Hillary-Jezebel era for the next fifteen years to September 11, 2016.

Horns are Extensions

To put it in prophetic terminology, such extensions are known as “horns.” A horn is an extension of a beast, making the beast “longer” than he is. Thus, the “goat” in Daniel 8:8 attacked the ram with its little horn. The goat was the Grecian Empire, and its little horn was Alexander the Great. That little horn was soon broken, and four other horns replaced it. So we find that Alexander was replaced by his four generals, who divided up the empire among themselves, giving the Grecian empire an extension beyond the life of Alexander himself.

A similar little horn was seen in the next beast that represented the Roman Empire (Daniel 7:20). This was Papal Rome, which arose when Imperial Rome fell apart in 476 A.D. The horn extended the fourth beast’s dominion in various forms until the time of the end.

Such prophetic terminology, then, can be applied to Bill Clinton, whose short horn extended into the Bush era.

The Rise of Hillary-Jezebel

In the biblical story of Ahab and Jezebel, we read how Ahab was killed and how his son Ahaziah succeeded him (1 Kings 22:51). His mother was Jezebel, the daughter of Ethbaal, king of Sidon (1 Kings 16:31). Ethbaal was the high priest of Sidon who overthrew King Pheles of Tyre and ruled as a counterfeit of the Melchizedek Order of King-Priests. His name means “with, near, or together with Baal.” He was Vicar of Baal, ruling “anti” (Greek: in place of) Baal.

It is clear from the story of Elijah that Jezebel wielded great power and influence before and after Ahab’s death. Her son Ahaziah was officially the king, but Jezebel exercised great power and used it to kill the prophets of God (1 Kings 18:3, 4). She was also the one who had Naboth killed so that Ahab could inherit his vineyard (1 Kings 21:7). Ahab himself did not dare to do this, for though he was a wicked king, he did have a conscience.

So also Hillary Rodham, said to be assigned by the CIA to be Bill Clinton’s wife, had little or no conscience. Those who knew her during the Clinton presidency say that she was ruthless and foul-mouthed. She commanded fear, but little respect. Her character closely matched what we know of Jezebel.

From a prophetic standpoint, the “war on terror” era after September 11, 2001 was the era of Hillary-Jezebel. This lasted until she collapsed at the memorial ceremony fifteen years later on September 11, 2016. That is when she lost power, and it became apparent that two months later she would lose the election to Donald Trump. Trump himself played the role of Jehu, who was commissioned by God through Elisha to destroy the house of Ahab (2 Kings 9:7).

Jezebel’s Extension

It took many years to understand the timing of Hillary’s role as Jezebel. This was because the prayer campaign to overthrow Jezebel was conducted ten years “late” (2011), utilizing the principle of the Hezekiah Factor.

It is a complex story, but it can be summarized, for the moment, by saying that the prayer campaign began on September 11, 2011, was made retroactive to September 11, 2001, but also gave Hillary a fifteen-year extension to September 11, 2016. This was in accordance with the fifteen-year extension given to Hezekiah, along with the sign that the clock would be turned back ten years. The pivot point for all of this was the prayer campaign in 2011.

Hence, in a strange way, both Bill and Hillary Clinton received extensions (or “horns”) in their respective times of dominion. In the biblical story, Jehu killed Jezebel some years after Ahab died in battle. Though she did not rule formally, she was an important power broker in the post-Ahab era. So also Hillary was an important power broker in the post-Clinton presidency, while never achieving actual power as president.

The Times of the Gentiles

As America was being led into bondage after the Twin Towers disaster, God was raising up the House of Joseph behind the scenes in preparation for the end of the dominion of beast empires. The succession of beast empires, is often called “the times of the Gentiles” (Luke 21:24). This “time” did not begin with the fall of Jerusalem in 70 A.D., but with the fall of Jerusalem in 604 B.C. when the city came under the dominion of King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon.

These “times” were the seven times of long-term prophecy (7 x 360 years) that began when God took the Dominion Mandate of the king of Judah and gave it to the king of Babylon (Genesis 49:10; Jeremiah 27:6, 7). Later, the prophet Daniel was given revelation that this captivity would last far beyond the 70 years allotted to Babylon. The Babylonian captivity was only the first of four empires that would dominate the western world—Jerusalem in particular.

Except for a brief century of independence from 163-63 B.C. during the Hasmonean era, these beast empires have ruled during “the times of the Gentiles.” The law of tribulation says that if Israel persisted in its disobedience, God was to punish them “seven times” (Leviticus 26:18). By comparing Daniel 7 with Revelation 13, we see that 3½ “times” was “forty-two months” or 1260 “days.” So the full “seven times” is a period of 2,520 days/years.

From the fall of Jerusalem in 604 B.C. to 1917 A.D. is 2,520 years. In that year General Allenby took Jerusalem from the Ottoman Empire. However, when we take into consideration the century of Jerusalem’s independence, the beast empires’ seven times of actual dominion ended a century later in 2017. Donald Trump was raised up to bring an end to the dominion of these beast empires, as well as to destroy the house of Ahab and Jezebel.

The prophetic story is still ongoing, so we do not yet know how this will play out. But we do have the sure word of prophecy, and if we know the times and seasons, we know that the story will end with the saints of the Most High being given the dominion (Daniel 7:22, 27).

The House of Joseph

The dreams of Joseph took many years to be fulfilled in his day. Though he dreamed that his brethren would bow down to him (Genesis 37:6-10), he first had to be enslaved and imprisoned in a political dungeon to learn how to rule properly. This was prophetic of the tribes that sprang from him, Ephraim and Manasseh, who were taken into captivity to Assyria many centuries later.

Joseph’s eventual elevation to a position of power under Pharaoh prophesied of the rise of the House of Joseph at the end of “the times of the Gentiles.” We are now in that era, as we will see. The main work that Joseph did during his rise was to prepare for the coming famine. Many years later, Amos 8:11, 12 prophesied the nature of this famine, saying,

¹¹ “Behold, days are coming,” declares the Lord God, “when I will send a famine on the land, not a famine for bread or a thirst for water, but rather for hearing the words of the Lord. ¹² People will stagger from sea to sea and from the north even to the east; they will go to and fro to seek the word of the Lord, but they will not find it.”

This famine of hearing the word has darkened the world for a very long time. Though Christians have many Bibles (in western countries), their understanding is limited by the lack of genuine revelation. The work of the house of Joseph, then, is primarily characterized by gathering the bread of life, which is “the word of the Lord.”

For this reason (in my view), I have written many commentaries on various books of the Bible since 2001 in order to set forth the revelation that I have received. Many others have done the same in their own way, as we have all worked to prepare for the famine of hearing the word.
