The Last Voice in the Wilderness

The Last Voice in the Wilderness

Chapter 1: The Calling

Micah had never expected to be anything more than a simple man living a simple life. He aligned himself with the King James Bible, not through deep scholarly study, but through the conviction that the Holy Ghost had placed upon him. The words of prophecy flowed from him, not by his own understanding, but by the Spirit guiding him. His purpose became clear: to stand for truth, no matter the cost. He knew that the world had become a dangerous place for prophets of God, especially for those who clung to the uncompromised Word.

Unlike the prophets of old who were stoned outside the gates of Jerusalem, Micah’s persecution came through modern means—online ridicule, social media smears, and subtle insinuations made by professing Christians. When he used to visit churches, they would set someone to monitor him, as if engaging in a form of pre-crime intervention, waiting for him to say something they could use against him. It was often implied, but never outright stated, that the world would be better off without him.

Chapter 2: Wolves Among Sheep

In the bustling online Christian community, Micah’s message was not welcome. He preached salvation by faith alone, condemning the false gospel of works salvation propagated by the modern Pharisees. These professing Christians, who had infiltrated churches and online spaces, saw him as a threat. They could intuitively sense that Micah was of another spirit, a Spirit far more powerful than them—the Holy Ghost. It was this Spirit that made his words pierce their consciences, even as they tried to dismiss him. They were like the Pharisees Jesus rebuked:

"That upon you may come all the righteous blood shed upon the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel unto the blood of Zacharias son of Barachias, whom ye slew between the temple and the altar." (Matthew 23:35 KJV)

Their attacks were veiled but vicious. Some called him divisive. Others claimed he was dangerous. Micah was a man—a prophet, but not a perfect one. He had once done things he believed were acceptable, only to later realize that the cruel, covetous Pharisees had decided those past actions deserved severe punishment. His accusers were merciless, demanding punishments far exceeding the mistakes he had made. They found plenty to criticize, but even when they pointed to his flaws, it was not enough to discredit the truth he spoke. They hid behind insinuations, keeping their hands clean of public blame, much like the religious leaders of old.

Chapter 3: False Brethren

Micah understood the truth: these were not genuine believers. They were false brethren, wolves in sheep’s clothing, seeking to tear apart the flock. They did not recognize the voice of the shepherd because they were of their father, the devil. As Jesus lamented over Jerusalem:

"O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee..." (Matthew 23:37 KJV)

Now, it was not Jerusalem but the so-called Christian communities that persecuted God’s messengers. The very people who claimed to serve Christ were the ones rejecting Him by rejecting His truth.

Chapter 4: The Edification of the Remnant

Not everyone rejected Micah. Among the crowd were born-again believers, those who heard his words and were edified. They understood the message of 1 Corinthians:

"Wherefore tongues are for a sign, not to them that believe, but to them that believe not: but prophesying serveth not for them that believe not, but for them which believe." (1 Corinthians 14:22 KJV)

To these believers, Micah’s message was like manna in the wilderness. They clung to every word, finding comfort and strength in the midst of their trials. They knew that Micah’s suffering was not in vain.

Chapter 5: The Rising Darkness

As time went on, the persecution intensified. The insinuations turned into outright censorship. His videos were taken down, his social media accounts suspended. Local churches turned him over to authorities, falsely accusing him of criminal behavior. They reported him to the police, fabricating charges and building a narrative of danger. In secret forums, they discussed ways to silence him permanently, though they avoided leaving any trail of guilt. When he still attended churches, they assigned people to monitor his every move, waiting for the slightest misstep to use as ammunition against him.

"Woe be unto the pastors that destroy and scatter the sheep of my pasture!" (Jeremiah 23:1 KJV)

Micah knew the time was near. The Great Tribulation, the worst period in human history, was at hand. The world had grown darker, and the false brethren reveled in their deception, believing they had silenced the prophet of God.

Chapter 6: The Last Stand

Micah found refuge among the remnant, hidden in an underground network of believers who shared the true gospel. They gathered in basements, abandoned buildings, and remote wilderness locations to hear him speak. Though hunted, Micah never wavered. His mission was clear, and he knew his reward lay beyond this life.

But the end was drawing near, and Micah understood that his time was limited. As the world plunged further into chaos, he continued to preach, knowing that many who once persecuted him would face eternal judgment:

"But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved." (Matthew 24:13 KJV)

Chapter 7: Judgment Awaits

The false brethren celebrated Micah’s eventual capture. But their rejoicing would be short-lived. As the world descended into the horrors of the Great Tribulation, they realized too late that they had rejected the truth.

The final moments of Micah’s life were filled with peace. He had run the race and kept the faith. As he closed his eyes for the last time, he knew that his reward awaited him in eternity. The false brethren, however, would face their judgment in the lake of fire.

The Great Tribulation raged on, but Micah’s message had planted seeds that no man could uproot.

"O Jerusalem, Jerusalem... how often would I have gathered thy children together." (Luke 13:34 KJV)

Though Micah's life came to an end, the truth he proclaimed continued to echo, carried by those who believed and endured through the Great Tribulation.
