Year of the Vital Box

of Revelation 

By Bonnie Jones

November 2022

This year’s Day of Atonement was different from others in the past, just like the Lord promised. He gave me a wonderful hideaway in the mountains of North Carolina. The weather was perfect, and the presence of God was heavy. It doesn’t really matter where the Lord sends me at that time of the year, He is present everywhere. It’s a matter of being willing to go where He sends me and spend time with Him without distractions from day-to-day life. The Lord spoke to me in a profound way this year therefore a portion of the Shepherd’s Rod I’ve chosen to keep it exactly the way He spoke it to me. Adding my thoughts or interpretation would only distract from His intent and that could change everything. The message I’m sharing today came in the morning of my last day in the mountains.

Early in the morning I heard the Lord say, “This is the “Year of the Vital Box of Revelation” it’s being opened to those willing to receive! I pour out My Spirit in unmeasurable power, and glory is released. I know who I’ve chosen and who I have not. Some will walk in a greater measure than others. I remove all those who touch My glory or try to replicate it. It is Mine says the Lord and I will not share it. I pour out My Spirit on all flesh, so they receive Me and serve Me. This is not for the faint of heart. My seasoned prophets will delegate but not steal the anointing. It is for all to receive. Amen”

I believe this is self-explanatory and recaps the entirety of this year’s Shepherd’s Rod. I believe the “Vital Box of Revelation” refers to the Ark of the Covenant of God. The Ark was a wooden chest overlaid with gold and its contents included the Ten Commandments, Aaron’s rod and a golden pot of manna.

In Revelation 4:1 John looked, and behold, a door was standing open in heaven. And the first voice which he heard was like a trumpet speaking with me, saying, “Come up here, and I will show you things which must take place after this.” This has been an invitation for the body of Christ however its members had to go through Revelation 3:19 first. The body had to allow the Lord to rebuke it and then repent for its sin. That has taken many seasons of the refiner’s fire and not all participated. But for those who did, He offered them intimate relationship with Him because they were willing to open their heart and overcome their strongholds.

And now in Revelation 11 John saw the ark standing open in heaven. I believe this is a now word and the contents of the Ark is going to be revealed. The power is in the Word of God (Ten Commandments). And when we release His Word in Spirit and Truth the power of God will go forth and heal the sick, raise the dead and demonstrate the greater works. His glory is the golden pot of manna that’s being poured out on His saints – to those who will believe, its supernatural provision. And like Aaron’s rod that sprouted and put forth buds, produced blossoms and yielded ripe almonds overnight, (Numbers 17:8) so shall the body come forth in kingdom power and authority.

God has made it very clear – He will not share His glory with anyone and those who try to touch it or replicate it, He will remove. I believe the Lord is giving a warning to His seasoned prophets and church leadership in general and they need to take heed. They need to help new believers and young prophetic voices in how to walk in truth and not error. The warning comes from Jude 11, “Woe to them! For they have gone in the way of Cain, have run greedily in the error of Balaam for profit, and perished in the rebellion of Korah.

Cain had enmity in his heart toward his brother. When God confronted him about the condition of his heart, he chose to turn his back on God and kill his brother. (Genesis 4) Too often church leaders kill or destroy through false judgment and criticism because the religious spirit is still active in much of the church at large. Balaam mixed truth with false doctrine. (Numbers 22-24) Although King Balak offered him money to curse Israel, he released a blessing directed by God. However, he later told the king how to get the Israelites to commit immorality. And Korah rejected true leadership causing many to perish. (Numbers 16:22-24) Korah rebelled against Moses and led 249 other men into the conspiracy. This angered God and he caused the ground to split open and swallowed them, their families and all their possessions.

Get ready to experience the glory of God in a measure the body of Christ has never witnessed before. Get ready to encounter the supernatural power of God and unlimited provision in every area of your life. Make way for the Holy Spirit to flow through you and give God the glory, honor and praise He deserves.
