Several months ago an angel came to me in a dream and said this, 'The Lord is going to release summons and it is in the Book of Isaiah'. When I awoke I naturally went to my concordance in the back of my NIV bible and there it was in Isaiah 45.

In this passage the reference is to King Cyrus and the fact that the Lord would 'summon' by name this unrighteous king to fulfill the purposes of God. Now, basically from what I could find on King Cyrus, he was a pagan, but a humane person at the same time.

Isaiah prophesied nearly 160 years before King Cyrus was born that God would raise this man up to rebuild His city. At the time of this prophecy Jerusalem was prospering and would not be destroyed for another 100 years by the King of Babylon.
Ezra 1:1-2 reads as follows: ---Now in the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, in order to fulfill the word of Jehovah by the mouth of Jeremiah, Jehovah stirred up the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia, so that he sent a proclamation throughout all his kingdom, and he also put it in writing, saying, Thus says Cyrus king of Persia, Jehovah, the God of heaven, has given me all the kingdoms of the earth, and He has appointed me to build Him a house in Jerusalem, which is in Judah.
In reading about him, I discovered he was a king who wanted those he ruled to be happy. BUT he was still a pagan, so how NON-religious it is of God to use him as an instrument to end the captivity of his people and to rebuild the temple.
I believe while there was an historic Cyrus, there is a modern day Cyrus alive today that will help build the Kingdom. I believe God has already begun to reveal this modern day Cyrus.
I believe there is a word concerning King Cyrus in this passage, but also a hidden word for the church. Let's look at the 'summon' that has called this modern day Cyrus to the forefront.
Read again Isaiah 45 and instead of saying 'King Cyrus', in its' place say 'King Hollywood'. I believe our modern day Cyrus is Hollywood. How could we not see it with the advent of 'The Passion'? Read it again and see if it is not true.

Now let's look at other 'summons' that will be going out from heaven this year. I believe the Lord is also going to release 'summons' to a corporate group of people that have been hidden and been in the refining process. There has been an extreme sifting of the souls of many that has made them ready to be birthed out of the church with a cry of freedom to those in religious captivity.

They will carry the 'Revelation of Jesus Christ and the finished work of the cross', proclaiming the present reality of the Kingdom! They will be privy to the heavenly realm and come back with reports of the riches of eternity and the beauty realm of heaven that the Lord wants us to walk in today, not in the sweet bye and bye but NOW!

Isaiah 45:3 is the promise for those who will receive the summons. He will give us the treasures of darkness, riches stored in secret places. Prepare for your summons, for this is the year of 'unveiling and revealing' to those who respond to the call, 'Come up here'!
