Land Called Disarray by Daniel Stern
The
Vision of Daniel Stern for the Church in Malaysia
5th October 1997, All Saints’ Cathedral.
5th October 1997, All Saints’ Cathedral.
- TO THE LAND CALLED DISARRAY : One day as I was walking the streets of the land called Mine,
I turned aside and sat in the shade of a massive tree. I was taken up into
the clouds and given a vision. This vision is for a land far away from
the City of Gold.
I was high above the earth looking down upon a place that was split in half. On one side of this land there were great buildings and many people running to and fro. I could also see that the leaders were not walking in the path that God would have them walk. Many buildings were being built to give the ‘god’ of the leaders and the things of their ‘god’ all the glory. Ruling over this Land was the ‘Great Lie of the Evil One’. Very few of the people could understand what was happening to the Land. Under the surface of this Land that was full of life there lurked death for all that followed the ways of the leaders.
Standing next to me was the Angel of the Lord. He said to me :
"Man, look at the ways of the lost, how they are walking. Can you see how they have for many years turned away from our Father and His ways ? Walking with the Evil one for many years and not wanting to see the Truth. There was a time that our Father was upon it. But alas, the Evil One came as a thief at night and stole the hearts of a few. The few turned into many as the years passed by. Now you see before you a land that has only a remnant within her borders. Our Father has not turned His back on this Land but indeed has within her the servants that shall bring her back into the former glory that she once had. This Land shall turn and give up her hatred toward the ‘Land of God’ for the Last Battle. The Land of Disarray shall for a time stand on the side of God. His Word shall be her stronghold when the world comes against her. She is not in the will of many other lands at this time, but to appease the world she will bend to the whims of the world.
God shall cause her leaders to come into the place of repentance in the time He so chooses. Look and see the Dragon of the deep come and deceive the people of this Land. This Dragon is but another from the Evil One."
I looked and saw a large snake-like figure coming from the North. As it came closer, I could see that it was in the form of a Dragon. It had many feet as a man’s feet. Tossing and turning from side to side and spitting out all sorts of foul words at the people. Children were having a good time watching the Dragon for they did not know what they were seeing before their eyes.
As the Dragon went along in its wake, it left a black trail. Many people ran to stand in the darkness of that trail. Only a few did not run to the darkness. As I stood looking at the Dragon turning the Land into a pit of darkness, I saw a few men and women dressed in white come out of a building, standing right in the path of the Dragon, thus stopping it. The Dragon reared his ugly head and came down on them. They were gone as fast as they had come to do battle with it.
From another building I saw many more people dressed in white come out to do battle with the Dragon. This time they had something in their hands. Coming forth and standing in the path of the Dragon they raised their hands towards the Heavens and gave a great shout. The buildings shook from the shout but the Dragon just reared its head as in surprise and came down on them.
The difference this time was that there were so many people dressed in white against him that the Dragon could not get rid of them so easily. It was what happened next that caused me to weep for them. The people in turned and went into the shadow of the Dragon from fear of what they had seen. Although they did not walk in the darkness, they did walk in its shadows. As the Dragon continued to move along, more and more people came into the shadow of it until after some time the shadow became the haven for most of the people of this Land. Still far from the Dragon stood a small group of people in white. Then the Dragon turned towards the group, more agitated than it was at any other time in this Land.
I turned to the Angel of the Lord and said : "Let us go and stop this foul Dragon before it gets to the people in white".
He answered me : "Man, do not think that you or anyone can stop this Dragon of the Evil One. For it has been sent to kill the Spirit of God in this Land. As you can see, it has done its job well, but our Father has not lost the war. Behold the Lamb of God is standing at the front of the Army of the Lord of Hosts. The Lamb of God is the head of His Army and no servant of the Evil One shall prevail against Him. Go sound the alarm, the battle is to begin in the Land of Disarray."
With that I had peace about the battle soon to start before my eyes. I prayed for God to have mercy on the Army but was about to go into the battle. I then saw the One that could change the Land, stepping in front of the guard. My sweet Jesus walked into the battlefield, turned and called His Army to Him, speaking in a voice that I could not hear. Whatever He said must have caused their hearts to soar with joy. I saw stepping up to stand beside Him a person, small in the eyes of the world but he must have been great in the eyes of Jesus. What happened next caused the Land to shake and the Dragon to stop in its tracks.
Jesus raised His hands towards the heavens and said in a voice that all could hear : "Father, I give to You all that are Mine as You gave to Me all that is Yours. This man I do anoint to lead this part of My Army into the battle over the Land called Disarray."
That small man fell at the feet of Jesus and wept. I was standing in awe at all that I was seeing. I turned to the Angel of the Lord and asked : "Will God allow this battle to begin ?"
He answered me : "Man, our Father has given all things over to Jesus and Jesus shall not have any in His Kingdom that walk in the shadows of the Evil One and his servants. Yes, this battle shall take place, for it is written so !"
I cried out : "How soon will it take place ?"
"Sooner than you think" He answered me.
I turned back to see what was about to happen when I heard the Angel of God saying : "Man, it is time for you to return and take your place, prepare the Army of the Lord on earth, as you have been told before."
With that I was once again sitting under that tree in the City of Gold. Looking around me I could see that no one could tell what had just happened to me. People walking from place to place, looking at the things of the world and without any notice what God has in store for the whole Earth.

CALL TO REMNANT- PRAY FOR THE FULFILLMENT OF THAT VISION
HOW IS THIS REVEALATION RELEVANT TO US
Our country once belonged to Him in the way we worship. After independence a new religion was enforced without any valid reasons except for political expedience of selfish and ignorant leaders. The remnant continues under much handicap and prays will be answered soon and new environments will unfold before us, but are we prepared for that moment soon ?
We may find the common links in the prophecy LCD in the following key words namely:-
i. There was a time that the land was full of life and glory of God our Father was upon it (LCD). (just as Jerusalem was before Babylon rule- ISA 3). LCD says " Our Father has not given up on us."
ii. The dragon (LCD) - the Dragon over the Beaufort sky on 24th August, 1998 the day I despatched to PM by AR Register in the morning - the Message -ISA 3.
iii. The small man (LCD). At the time of the delivery of LCD, I knew the small man was me for at least 15 reasons listed in my booklet to give glory to God.
iv. The land to shake (LCD). Since 2nd Sept after receipt of the Message ISA 3, many thing have happened and also in Babylon’s time. Nebuchadnezzar became the animal before his kingship ended. Do we have an " animal" at the present time ? Indeed a similarity.
v. Is there a battle as in LCD ? When I asked God about Ex DPM, God showed me Ecclasaites 9V18 - "..... A sinner destroy much good." This is part of Isaiah 47 V11.
[LCD is a prophesy by Daniel Stern in ASC which is Land Called Disarray]
. And below is an open letter to appeal to people of God to pray:-
OPEN LETTER:-
THE MESSAGE
CALL TO REMNANT, PRAY FOR THE FULFILLMENT OT THAT VISION.
Calling the remnant to share a vision and earnestly to pray for it in preparation of the actual fulfillment of Isaiah 45,46,47 (restoration ) in our midst. Pastor Albert Vun gave a sermon on Isaiah 40 in St. Patrick, Tawau recently and asked what relevance to today’s situation ? We have to find comfort of God in our midst.
The actual history of that restoration is well recorded in the Bible in Ezra and Daniel ( Nebuchadnezzar & Belshazzar) and later in Nehemiah, Haggai, Zechariah and Malachi.
The earlier destruction of Israel, Judah, and Jerusalem and the Jerusalem Temple are recorded in 2 Kings 24 and Jeremiah.
In a parallel history, we have a similar history as we were a Christian state prior to independence and at independence, a new religion was enforced. Only God knows if this is in order ?
We have to intercede for a nation of 22 millions that the plan of God is fulfilled accordingly. Continue to intercede for the national and state leaders so that their eyes will be open to things above just like what Nebuchadnezzar did ( Daniel 5V31). God has spoken and it will come to earth, our partial journey to eternity. Lets it happen in our time now before it passes on.
Pray specifically for as the LCD says that " God has not given up on us" as follows:-
- Restoration spiritually and financially of at least of RM30 billions for physical and spiritual reconstruction and extend His kingdom. ( as happened to Jerusalem then).
- We are ready to gather the harvest of various religious backgrounds or new converts to fill up all the churches.( as the Temple was rebuilt).
- We will be like "New Jerusalem" so to speak with that kind of attraction to the world.
- We have God-fearing leaders depending on His providence and guidance.
- To expand God’s kingdom until we reign with the King Jesus for the thousand years.
Praise God,
Joshua Kong
NB: Restoration was only possible with the overthrow of Medo Babylon by Cyrus through the type of prays of those exiles like Daniel, Nehemiah, Ezra, Jeremiah etc. The economic method we witness is more powerful than a physical conflict. It really hurts where it is intended to be. However, the implications of Isaiah 47 V11 are certainly devastating. A reprieve can be found in Psalm 82 V4.
Isaiah 45-47New
International Version (NIV)
45 “This
is what the Lord says to his
anointed,
to Cyrus, whose right hand I take hold of

and will level the mountains[a];
I will break down gates of bronze
and cut through bars of iron.
3 I will give you hidden treasures,
riches stored in secret places,
so that you may know that I am the Lord,
the God of Israel, who summons you by name.

I bring prosperity and create disaster;
I, the Lord, do all these things.

I will make all his ways straight.
He will rebuild my city

They will bow down before you
and plead with you, saying,
‘Surely God is with you, and there is no other;
there is no other god.’”
