Received beginning 6:00 PM CST #USA Monday, November 29th, 2021 continuing Insight and Rhema Word received 8:20AM CST January 2nd, 2022 #USA from King Jesus to me Michelle Katherine Orts aka TurtleDove and wife to husband Reverend/Pastor David Orts

This is for the Warrior Remnant Bride of Christ and for The Entire World from Our Warrior King Jesus, The Alpha and Omega

I dreamed I beheld a plate of food* and one third of the items disappeared. I was visited by Jesus Who appeared to me as an Angel of The Lord Himself in His Original Form. I believe I was in Heaven, either in spirit and/or in my physical body, but I can’t be certain. It was not revealed to me. I knew that I was not on earth and I knew where I was, that it was a very Holy place. It was a place of Judgement and it did not feel pleasant or comfortable. It had a formality, a rigidity and I therefore felt an uncomfortable unease, weighty with the Power of God’s Holy Presence.

Revelation 9:13-19

13 Then the sixth angel blew [his] trumpet, and from the four horns of the golden altar which stands before God I heard a solitary voice,

14 Saying to the sixth angel who had the trumpet, Liberate the four angels who are bound at the great river Euphrates.

15 So the four angels who had been in readiness for that hour in the appointed day, month, and year were liberated to destroy a third of mankind.

16 The number of their troops of cavalry was twice ten thousand times ten thousand (200,000,000); I heard what their number was.

17 And in [my] vision the horses and their riders appeared to me like this: the riders wore breastplates the color of fiery red and sapphire blue and sulphur (brimstone) yellow. The heads of the horses looked like lions’ heads, and from their mouths there poured fire and smoke and sulphur (brimstone).

18 A third of mankind was killed by these three plagues—by the fire and the smoke and the sulphur (brimstone) that poured from the mouths of the horses.

19 For the power of the horses to do harm is in their mouths and also in their tails. Their tails are like serpents, for they have heads, and it is by means of them that they wound people.”

I felt my unworthiness being still unchanged in my corruptible state. Knowing I was eternally saved by Faith through Grace by Jesus The Lamb of God, yet conversely in my dream, I was still in my unglorified, corrupted human state* of being not yet transformed.

That moment of changing from corruptible to incorruptible in earthly time had not yet been represented, at least to me personally. I was given the understanding that my presence before The PreIncarnate Angel of The Lord Jesus, was chosen to be as a witness to all my Remnant Brothers and Sisters in Christ, to God’s Chosen People, His Jacobs and as a witness to the entire world and His Creation that Judgement comes first to His Own* and then to the lost, to the world itself.

Jesus as The PreIncarnate Angel, a unique version of Himself, told me that it is necessary for this Judgement to now fall, for His Cup of Wrath was now full. Jesus said to me as He stood before me as I was seated before Him at a long table which had been prepared for me and for all His Creation. Firstly Jesus spoke of His Prize which are His Father’s Special Treasures. Us humans, the Children of Adam and Eve.

Then Jesus spoke of all creatures, animals, birds and fish, animals which walked and who lived and ran upon the earthly ground, those which flew and who lived in the air and those fish who swam and those fish and sea creatures which lived in the water.

There were creatures I was shown by Jesus, which were, fallen, which Jesus did not speak of, for they were tainted by the enemy and would be completely destroyed, not just one third of them.

Next Jesus spoke to me of Trees and their Fruit, growing edible green plants and their fruit and edible green grass and* its fruit. The green growing things would not be harmed by The Holy Warring Angels at all. Not right now anyway. Not until the Lord has finished Sealing all of His Servants upon their foreheads with The Seal of God, Yeshua Jesus Joshua God in the flesh by The Power of The Holy Spirit:

Revelation 7:3
Amplified Bible, Classic Edition
3 Saying, Harm neither the earth nor the sea nor the trees, until we have sealed the bond servants of our God upon their foreheads.

Revelation 9:4
Amplified Bible, Classic Edition
4 They were told not to injure the herbage of the earth nor any green thing nor any tree, but only [to attack] such human beings as do not have the seal (mark) of God on their foreheads.

Revelation 8:7
Amplified Bible, Classic Edition
7 The first angel blew [his] trumpet, and there was a storm of hail and fire mingled with blood cast upon the earth. And a third part of the earth was burned up and a third of the trees was burned up and all the green grass was burned up.

Later on directly before Warrior King Jesus, Yeshua, The Lion of The Tribe of Judah’s arrival, then the grass will be burned, everything will be burned up by The Judgement of Fire (as shown to us in The Book of Revelation and elsewhere in the Bible such as in 2 Peter 3) we who remain are transformed in Glory after witnessing those dead Saints rise up, transformed into their new, Glorified and forevermore incorruptible bodies, alive once more to meet Jesus first!

Judgement of The Ungodly by Fire:
2 Peter 3:7
Amplified Bible, Classic Edition
7 But by the same word the present heavens and earth have been stored up (reserved) for fire, being kept until the day of judgment and destruction of the ungodly people.

2 Peter 3:10-12
Amplified Bible, Classic Edition
10 But the day of the Lord will come like a thief, and then the heavens will vanish (pass away) with a thunderous crash, and the [[a]material] elements [of the universe] will be dissolved with fire, and the earth and the works that are upon it will be burned up.
11 Since all these things are thus [b]in the process of being dissolved, what kind of person ought [each of] you to be [in the meanwhile] in consecrated and holy behavior and devout and godly qualities,
12 While you wait and earnestly long for (expect and hasten) the coming of the day of God by reason of which the flaming heavens will be dissolved, and the [[c]material] elements [of the universe] will flare and melt with fire?

Read Complete Chapter of 2 Peter 3:
Amplified Bible, Classic Edition
3 Beloved, I am now writing you this second letter. In [both of] them I have stirred up your unsullied (sincere) mind by way of remembrance,
2 That you should recall the predictions of the holy (consecrated, dedicated) prophets and the commandment of the Lord and Savior [given] through your apostles (His special messengers).
3 To begin with, you must know and understand this, that scoffers (mockers) will come in the last days with scoffing, [people who] walk after their own fleshly desires
4 And say, Where is the promise of His coming? For since the forefathers fell asleep, all things have continued exactly as they did from the beginning of creation.
5 For they willfully overlook and forget this [fact], that the heavens [came into] existence long ago by the word of God, and the earth also which was formed out of water and by means of water,
6 Through which the world that then [existed] was deluged with water and perished.
7 But by the same word the present heavens and earth have been stored up (reserved) for fire, being kept until the day of judgment and destruction of the ungodly people.
8 Nevertheless, do not let this one fact escape you, beloved, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years and a thousand years as one day.
9 The Lord does not delay and is not tardy or slow about what He promises, according to some people’s conception of slowness, but He is long-suffering (extraordinarily patient) toward you, not desiring that any should perish, but that all should turn to repentance.
10 But the day of the Lord will come like a thief, and then the heavens will vanish (pass away) with a thunderous crash, and the [[a]material] elements [of the universe] will be dissolved with fire, and the earth and the works that are upon it will be burned up.
11 Since all these things are thus [b]in the process of being dissolved, what kind of person ought [each of] you to be [in the meanwhile] in consecrated and holy behavior and devout and godly qualities,
12 While you wait and earnestly long for (expect and hasten) the coming of the day of God by reason of which the flaming heavens will be dissolved, and the [[c]material] elements [of the universe] will flare and melt with fire?
13 But we look for new heavens and a new earth according to His promise, in which righteousness (uprightness, freedom from sin, and right standing with God) is to abide.
14 So, beloved, since you are expecting these things, be eager to be found by Him [at His coming] without spot or blemish and at peace [in serene confidence, [d]free from fears and agitating passions and moral conflicts].
15 And consider that the long-suffering of our Lord [[e]His slowness in avenging wrongs and judging the world] is salvation ([f]that which is conducive to the soul’s safety), even as our beloved brother Paul also wrote to you according to the spiritual insight given him,
16 Speaking of this as he does in all of his letters. There are some things in those [epistles of Paul] that are difficult to understand, which the ignorant and unstable twist and misconstrue to their own [g]utter destruction, just as [they distort and misinterpret] the rest of the Scriptures.
17 Let me warn you therefore, beloved, that knowing these things beforehand, you should be on your guard, lest you be carried away by the error of lawless and wicked [persons and] fall from your own [present] firm condition [your own steadfastness of mind].
18 But grow in grace (undeserved favor, spiritual strength) and [h]recognition and knowledge and understanding of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ (the Messiah). To Him [be] glory (honor, majesty, and splendor) both now and to the day of eternity. Amen (so be it)!

Jesus explained He was sending His Holy Angels to fulfill His Father’s Commands as only God’s Holy Angel’s would be Faithful to obey The Word made flesh and not depart from it “one jot or tittle.”

Matthew 5:18
Authorized (King James) Version
18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.

Jesus spoke to me in instants of time* in thought to me. Jesus Holy Spirit His Mind spoke directly to my spirit and to my mind. There were no Words spoken out loud in my dream. The Wisdom of God was present as was an The overwhelming Holy Fear of The Lord.

It has already begun. The Angels have been ordered by Father God to destroy one third of man and beast and fish and fowl. The Holy Angels have been ushered forth.

Revelation 9
Amplified Bible, Classic Edition
9 Then the fifth angel blew [his] trumpet, and I saw a star that had fallen from the sky to the earth; and to the angel was given the key [a]of the shaft of the Abyss (the bottomless pit).
2 He opened the [b]long shaft of the Abyss (the bottomless pit), and smoke like the smoke of a huge furnace puffed out of the [c]long shaft, so that the sun and the atmosphere were darkened by the smoke from the long shaft.
3 Then out of the smoke locusts came forth on the earth, and such power was granted them as the power the earth’s scorpions have.
4 They were told not to injure the herbage of the earth nor any green thing nor any tree, but only [to attack] such human beings as do not have the seal (mark) of God on their foreheads.
5 They were not permitted to kill them, but to torment (distress, vex) them for five months; and the pain caused them was like the torture of a scorpion when it stings a person.
6 And in those days people will seek death and will not find it; and they will yearn to die, but death evades and flees from them.
7 The locusts resembled horses equipped for battle. On their heads was something like golden crowns. Their faces resembled the faces of people.
8 They had hair like the hair of women, and their teeth were like lions’ teeth.
9 Their breastplates (scales) resembled breastplates made of iron, and the [whirring] noise made by their wings was like the roar of a vast number of horse-drawn chariots going at full speed into battle.
10 They have tails like scorpions, and they have stings, and in their tails lies their ability to hurt men for [the] five months.
11 Over them as king they have the angel of the Abyss (of the bottomless pit). In Hebrew his name is Abaddon [destruction], but in Greek he is called Apollyon [destroyer].
12 The first woe (calamity) has passed; behold, two others are yet to follow.
13 Then the sixth angel blew [his] trumpet, and from the four horns of the golden altar which stands before God I heard a solitary voice,
14 Saying to the sixth angel who had the trumpet, Liberate the four angels who are bound at the great river Euphrates.
15 So the four angels who had been in readiness for that hour in the appointed day, month, and year were liberated to destroy a third of mankind.
16 The number of their troops of cavalry was twice ten thousand times ten thousand (200,000,000); I heard what their number was.
17 And in [my] vision the horses and their riders appeared to me like this: the riders wore breastplates the color of fiery red and sapphire blue and sulphur (brimstone) yellow. The heads of the horses looked like lions’ heads, and from their mouths there poured fire and smoke and sulphur (brimstone).
18 A third of mankind was killed by these three plagues—by the fire and the smoke and the sulphur (brimstone) that poured from the mouths of the horses.
19 For the power of the horses to do harm is in their mouths and also in their tails. Their tails are like serpents, for they have heads, and it is by means of them that they wound people.
20 And the rest of humanity who were not killed by these plagues even then did not repent of [the worship of] the works of their [own] hands, so as to cease paying homage to the demons and idols of gold and silver and bronze and stone and wood, which can neither see nor hear nor move.
21 And they did not repent of their murders or their practice of magic (sorceries) or their sexual vice or their thefts.

Lord Jesus I Praise You. I am not worthy. Only say the Word and I shall be healed. Use me as You desire. I submit fully to You. For Your Glory alone!-Your TurtleDove

I wasn’t expecting to hear all that as I was typing…I am noone special. Apart from Jesus, I am nothing.

And with God ALL things are possible, nothing is impossible with Jesus, The Word made flesh. However some things are known before the beginning of the Creation of The World, Before Time was created before Anything at all was Created, God was there, never having been created, yet God was, God is and God will always be!

God said to Moses Who He was to tell the Israelites, The Hebrews, when Moses was to lead them out of Egypt. “Tell them I AM has sent you.”

I AM has now sent Himself as The Angel of The Lord Jesus, The PreIncarnate Lord Jesus, to speak to me, one of His lowly Messengers, I am but one of many, of His Daughters, Jesus nicknamed me TurtleDove many years ago in a Prophetic Word which was confirmed by Two Witnesses. I am nothing without Jesus. Jesus is everything to me!

I AM told me through Jesus, The PreIncarnate Angel of The Lord, to tell the world and all Creation that His Word shall now be brought to pass. The Judgement of removing one third of His Human and Animal (Beasts of the field, birds of the air and fish of the water/sea) creation has now begun.

The (*) were moments in time as I was writing this down that Jesus’ Holy Spirit used ongoing media to speak the exact words to confirm the exact words as I was typing them. My husband David was watching Fox News and I could hear the exact word spoken by multiple commentators as I was typing them. God used even commercials. God uses the foolish things to confound the wise…

God has a sense of humor. Even in the hardest and most serious of times. Jesus slept in the storm! Oh how that probably irritated Jesus’ Disciples who were scared to death! God speaks “Peace Be Still” to every storm and to every heart, right here and right now. Jesus is with us. Let us all each go ibto the secret hiding place of Our Lord God Yeshua. Let us all each go and speak to Our Savior Our Hope Our Lord God and Warrior King Jesus in the bow of the boat. We who believe in Jesus as God in the flesh with all our hearts souls and minds are all inside The Ark right now. If we truly confess Jesus with our mouths and believe Jesus is Lord God in the flesh in our hearts, we have the assurance of Salvation and must renew that assurance daily with Holy Fear and trembling. We are not saved by our works but by Faith through Grace alone. By Jesus’ Blood we are purified and made Righteous, put in Right Standing before Father God our Eternal Father and Holy Judge.All who know Jesus and who place full trust in Him are in His Ark of Rescue right now. This time The Ark Of Safety will protect us not from Flood but from Fire.

God’s timing is exact.

God can do anything.

God created time, space and everything and everyone in it that has ever, or who will ever exist, PERIOD.

Prayer.
Father God. Please help us to be properly prepared, all of us, Your Children, to enter into Eternity with You when it is our appointed time for each one of us to go. Please keep us safe inside You, Our Ark of Rescue and Of Safety. Please strengthen us, please help us Holy Spirit to lead others to You Jesus Our Eternal Hope. Fill us with Yourself, with Your Holiness, with Your Holy Spirit. Help us to be found Faithful. Help us to depend upon You Our Savior, The Lamb of God The Word made flesh. Thank You King Jesus for saving us from our sins and for making us who are unworthy, to be worthy by Your Righteousness by Your Holy, Sinless and Perfect Cleansing Blood. Thank You for giving me abd all of Your Children True Life, Life Abundant and Life Eternal. Thank You for writing my name, my family member’s names and all my Forever family’s names, both Chosen and grafted in, by Your Gracious Mercy given to all without respect of persons as man shows favoritism. You Dear Lord see all hearts. You know ALL things. You are a Discerner of the hearts, the thoughts, the motives of every human soul. Please Jesus, save as many of us can be saved for Eternity, save us to inherit Your Kingdom. Save us from these Judgements and others to come, if it be Your Holy Will. I believe You WILL SPARE YOUR OWN, but if You Choose not to, You are still True. You are still Holy. You are still God and You Can NOT LIE. All Glory to Your Holy Name Abba Father, King Jesus, Holy Lamb of God and Mighty Holy Spirit The Holy Fire and Holy Fear of God.-Love, Your Daughter, Your Servant, Your TurtleDove, Michelle Katherine Orts wife to husband Reverend David Orts.

May Your Kingdom Come and Your Will be done on earth as it is in Heaven!

The Lord’s Prayer.
Luke 11:1-4
Authorized (King James) Version
11 And it came to pass, that, as he was praying in a certain place, when he ceased, one of his disciples said unto him, Lord, teach us to pray, as John also taught his disciples. 2 And he said unto them, When ye pray, say, Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in heaven, so in earth. 3 Give us day by day our daily bread. 4 And forgive us our sins; for we also forgive every one that is indebted to us. And lead us not into temptation; but deliver us from evil.
