There is a Sound Rising Up from the Nations
The Eastertide Messages Day Twenty-Six
Hello brothers and sisters, Brother Matt back with to continue sharing from the original series of messages the Lord gave last year. Today I am sharing Day Twenty-Six, which was given on May 1st, 2023. There were actually two separate messages given this day, but I have combined them for this post. The original Youtube recordings for this day are at the end of this message.
The complete series of Tell My People: The Eastertide Messages is now available for Print and Kindle at https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CS1ZHBSG. This book contains the first 52 days of messages the Lord gave me between Passover and Pentecost 2023, along with some annotations, cross-references and notes.

As the water covers the sea
So shall I cover My people with My Spirit
I will make Myself known to My chosen people
Write it in a book1
All that I declare unto you
I will speak to My people
That they would know that I am not a God who is silent2
But I am a God who will speak
I have given you a mouth that you might speak My words to them3
Do not hesitate but speak everything as I command you
Tell of My great salvation
Make ready for Me a people of My own possession4
Begin where I have planted you
I have given you everything that you need
Do not marvel at this word5
And say to yourselves “How can this be?”
I am the Lord
Have I not spoken in days of old in like manner?
But now, as the day draws near I will raise My voice
I will raise up My chosen generation
I will raise up My witnesses
To speak in My name
to make ready the way of the Lord6
If you had loved Me, you would glorify My name
You would lift your hands to Me and say “Holy is the Lord”
You would raise your voice in My temple
To utter praises to My name
But rather you would sit in silence with hands folded
And deny what you see even with your own eyes
Repent, O you doubters and bring glory to My name
I have many things yet to speak unto you
But your ears are too dull to hear Me now7
There is a sound
Rising up from the nations
A song of praise to the Lord
The sound of many voices
Gathered in My name
A great choir8
Formed of every tribe and tongue
It is a pleasing sound to My ears
Stay ready
Make room for Me
I am raising up My trumpets
Listen all you who have ears to hear
If you long to see My day
Soon you will see it
Do not fear the sound of distant thunder
For I will be your covering
I have called you by My name
For My purposes
For a time such as this9
You have only to be faithful
Speak as I direct you
I have prepared palaces for you, My people
A great city
That you would be with Me forever
You will see My city coming down from on high
The New Jerusalem10
Behold, I am making all things new
The old is passing away that the new might come11
The Vision of the Hard Ground:
My wife saw this vision: “I saw a patch of ground that I was trying to plant.
The ground was hard, but not rocks or cement. I was trying to plant seeds, but I couldn’t plant seeds there. So, I asked the Lord what to do- and He said “Till it up. Break the ground.” Then I remember what someone from church recently said about removing the rocks. Everybody has rocks. The Enemy starts putting rocks in our garden when we are born, even before we are born.”
Prepare the soil of the hearts of men
Till up the hard ground12
That it would be ready for the seed
Her vision continued: “I’m trying to till the land- but cannot till in a straight line. I have to keep changing directions. Very strange. Hard to till up the soil properly.”
This is not easy soil
Tares have corrupted the crop13
Vision of the Scrolls and the Throne Room:
Now I saw a vision. I saw a scroll with many seals, held in a hand. The first seal breaking. Also I saw an immense space- it was the size of the new city I think- or the halls of heaven. Repeatedly I also saw what I understood to be the throne room of heaven. I said aloud: “To him who sits on throne, and unto the lamb be blessings and glory and honor and power forever.”
I will speak
You will listen to Me
I have set a day for the Feast of the Bridegroom
I am calling the guests for the feast to make ready14
This is the call
This is the time
This is the day of salvation
The harvest is here
If the guests of the bridegroom will not come
Then go to the highways, to the marketplace
And bring all who have ears to hear
I have laid a great feast before you
Come to My table, all My beloved
I have longed to eat and drink with you again
Come all who are hungry, all who thirst
Come
There is a throne in heaven15
And one who sits upon it
Like the Son of Man
He is the Lamb who was slain
He is the only one worthy to open the scroll16
The seals will soon be opened17
The trumpets will soon resound
Heaven is waiting with anticipation for the great and mighty day of the Lamb
All is ready
The day approaches
You must declare it to My people
For those who have ears to hear
Do not fear what they may think of you
Fear rather what I think of you
Soon you will see Me
Write it
Speak it
Tell it
Tell the story of this mighty thing
Record
Distribute
Make known this word I have given to you
It is not for you alone
Do not withhold this word
I will prepare an audience for you18[18]
This is the work
I will guide you
Do not fear
Only obey
I see a mighty tower
A lighthouse stretching into heaven
And a light that shines in the darkness
The darkness cannot overcome this strong tower19
This mighty fortress
The reason why I made a printed version of these messages.
Psalm 83:1
Jeremiah 1:9-10
1 Peter 2:9
This seemed very much directed to my wife and I about how we were receiving the messages and our reaction to them. Although by this time we had been going through this experience for several weeks, we did wrestle many times over those days about what to do with these words and how we should view the experience. It has been hard for me to not to look back at the Old Testament prophets for encouragement, and so many times the words have harkened back to the words of old. I found much comfort in the words of Jeremiah among others and saw in him that same wrestling with the word the Lord has given, particularly passages like Jeremiah 20:7-9.
Isaiah 40:3
Isaiah 6:9-10, Matthew 13:14-15
Revelation 7:9
Esther 4:14
Revelation 21:10
2 Corinthians 5:17
Hosea 10:12
Matthew 13:24-30
Matthew 22:1-14
Revelation 4:2
Revelation 4:11
Revelation 6:1
This was an assurance the Lord gave me many times during these messages- that He would raise up the audience for it. It is His word, not mine, and I have been encouraged by how many have listened to at least one of the messages.
Proverbs 18:10, Psalm 61:3-4
Amen, brother. The LORD JESUS has also shown me this lighthouse tower while in prayer, late in the evening, on 2/23/2024 at 10 pm, "I AM your lighthouse," Also, important to note that I had never seen these eastertide messages until this year.
All glory to our JESUS🙌✝️
