“Now is the time to allow yourself to be made ready to develop close intimacy with Me, so that you may be able to stand strong in the face of trials and tribulations. Even though you and others are Mine, you are not exempt from trials and tribulation, as it shall be with all mankind. For a season I will allow the fullness of iniquity to flourish and to reach the climax of evil, when the earth will spew them out.
It will be like the time of Noah, before judgment of the unrighteous condemned for destruction. It will also be like the ‘Children of Israel’ before entry into the Promised Land. My people were enslaved under Pharaoh; which is a type of the antichrist, in Egypt; which a type of the world’s ways. With their cries for deliverance, and when the fullness of iniquity is reached; I will deliver you by, and through trials and tribulation for refinement, so you may be able to inter the Promised Land, of My Kingdom.

The journey began as baptism through the Red Sea, from death into life. From there it became a wilderness experience of preparation; being made ready to inter the Promised Land. That preparation was to develop faith, and to be made ready to defeat the adversary and take the land.
