Welcome to the threshing floor church. Jesus Himself has brought His church onto the threshing floor and His winnowing fork is in His hand (Matthew 3:12). The threshing floor is an agricultural term for a building in which the wheat was separated from the chaff. Traditionally we have seen the seperation of the wheat from the chaff as an evangelistic idea, but right now the Lord has harvested the church and both wheat and chaff are on the threshing floor. The winnowing fork is in the hand of Jesus and we have seen the very slight beginnings of the threshing floor, but it is about to significantly increase in days ahead.

The two groups on the threshing floor right now are the sages and the astrologers. In the BC era there were Sages of Israel and Babylonian Astrologers, we have the same in the church today. The marriage of the Babylonian Astrologers to the Bible has produced a church with so much mixture we do not even recognize we are dipped in Babylonian Astrology but God does and henceforth that winnowing fork in His hand.

Intellectual accent looks and sounds like biblical wisdom to the untrained ear, but upon closer inspection, it is at its core a man sitting on a throne of judgment not God. A new measure of discernment is being given to dissect the difference between the spirit of wisdom and revelation biblically and Babylonian astrology.

There is a winnowing fork on the threshing floor of the church that is separating the sage from the astrologer; the Divine from the deceiver. I see a very sharp knife cutting off the one from the other. This will be noticed by those with a keen eye and a discerning ear.

The marriage between the Babylon and the Bible has produced a Babylonian church structure which sees the symptoms but does not know what the problem is. This is because the astrologers of Babylon have deceived effectively the body of Christ. Proverbs 20 says “Bread gained by deceit is sweet to a man, but afterward his mouth will be full of gravel.” We taste the gravel but don’t understand where it came from. Yahweh knows this and is now holding His winnowing fork.

The church can see how to separate light from darkness, but this threshing floor is seperating Light from light; Glory from glory; Prophets from prophets; Truth from truth; Love from love; Power from power; just like what happened when Moses and Aaron stood before the astrologers of Egypt in Exodus 8-10.

Jesus Himself is holding the winnowing fork in His hand and the winds have already begun to blow on the threshing floor, but there is more, much much more coming. Matthew 3:12 is where are for this transition, “His winnowing fork is in His hand and He will clear His threshing floor and gather His wheat into the barn, but the chaff He will burn with fire.” Babylonian church is burning with all of its astrologers and diviners, while Biblical church is being gathered into the barn to be deployed to the nations with the gospel of the kingdom.
