I have never heard this piece of James preached before line by line in church. I have to admit I spent 15 years out of church as a rebellious sinning man. So it may have been preached in context in my absence. I was going to preach this, and opened up the MS word file and put in the Text below and started to type this Introduction and now the Lord Jesus has told me He is going to take this scripture apart line by line as a prophetic word here on the 29th of December 2009. Seeing as he is the boss, I will let him take it apart. So the format will be text, then Jesus Speaks, then text then Jesus will speak and so on.
OUR TEXT
James 5:1 8 (New King James Version)
Rich Oppressors Will Be Judged
1 Come now, you rich, weep and howl for your miseries that are coming upon you! Your riches are corrupted, and your garments are moth eaten. 3 Your gold and silver are corroded, and their corrosion will be a witness against you and will eat your flesh like fire. You have heaped up treasure in the last days. 4 Indeed the wages of the laborers who mowed your fields, which you kept back by fraud, cry out; and the cries of the reapers have reached the ears of the Lord of Sabbath. 5 You have lived on the earth in pleasure and luxury; you have fattened your hearts as in a day of slaughter. 6 You have condemned, you have murdered the just; he does not resist you.
Be Patient and Persevering
7 Therefore be patient, brethren, until the coming of the Lord. See how the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth, waiting patiently for it until it receives the early and latter rain. 8 You also be patient. Establish your hearts, for the coming of the Lord is at hand.
Jesus Speaks:
Time is very fast approaching for when this text is going to be fulfilled in the world. And for the people who are currently rich in the world’s goods it’s not going to be pretty.

Jesus Speaks:
For 2000 years is seems it has been okay to be wealthy and a Christian. For the time that Matthew has lived in the past 15 years it seems there is book after book coming out in Christian book stores saying God wants you to be a millionaire. Those that quote Abraham and Job as examples of rich men might want to see what tests I put Abraham through and they might consider what I put Job through and what sort of man he was in Job chapter 29 before I tested him. There are not many Christian men like the Job of chapter 29. Go and look it up.
There is fast coming to this world a financial breakdown. There are fast coming all sorts of plagues that are going to be wrought by Me and my prophets on the world. Prosperity is a God given thing but in needs to be balanced. The rich should feed the poor and train the poor and help the poor. The rich were never told to horde their wealth and become billionaires. The West was never to rape the East for labor and resources.
When I was on earth I told you to make sure you stored your wealth in heaven, for where your money was, your heart is. Few people know how to store their riches in heaven and the most effective ways to make that money count, but count it must, and store it in heaven you must as from only that bank account soon you will be able to make withdrawals from.
I said your money can be stolen and corroded and you can see thieves steal things in your society but insurance might pay that for you. Your clothes get moths in them, but with the right stuff you can stop even that. So it seems this scripture has not much relevance. Though inflation can be a sort of corrosion, and so can be out of work for a time erode your wealth, and not to mention children can squander your wealth. But by in large people scoff at what I say in the Gospels and what my half brother James says here.
But trust Me time is fast approaching when I am going to take the money away and no pre tribulation rapture is going to save you from this.
The gold that you horde will melt one day and if you don’t make it to heaven it will cling to your spirit body in hell and burn your forever.

You have heaped up treasure in the last days. 4 Indeed the wages of the laborers who mowed your fields, which you kept back by fraud, cry out; and the cries of the reapers have reached the ears of the Lord of Sabbath.
Jesus says:
The Indians make your IT and programs, the Chinese cheap goods for you and the Japanese invent good technology and you profit from cheap prices and great quality through your multi national companies. People invest in these companies shares and the share prices go up and they pay good dividends and all the rich Westerners are happy who have jobs. Meanwhile the people that labor for you are crying for fair wages and you refuse them. You rape their lands of natural resource, they grow your coffee and their cocoa beans make your chocolate and you gorge yourself and make yourselves happy and fat on slavery and forced labor and you don’t even bat an eyelid.
In China in factories Christian workers make your best brands for a pittance and yet for $7.00 you could buy them a Bible. 80 million Chinese in the underground church don’t own their own Bible, and you in the West simply don’t care about them. You each have 2 or 3 Bibles you don’t use and yet these lovely flocks of my pasture that work 60 hours a week for you for a pittance don’t have a Bible. Well listen to Me.
I am ANGRY at you!
Text
5 You have lived on the earth in pleasure and luxury; you have fattened your hearts as in a day of slaughter.
Even the people on low incomes in the West have good stereos and good TV, electricity, safe running water, and all the modern conveniences. Even the poor in the West can get free food and safe drinking water. You in the West have no idea what real poverty is. Sure some suffer and when hard times come, these people will be able to handle it, but you wealthy, you wealthy Christians; you will be in dire straits.
You who have sowed all your life and shared with the poor and always been first to give when someone had a need, you will be fine. But you selfish fat, well fed people who claim to serve Me and money at the same time, you may as well become a witch right now if you are not going to repent. If you do not repent and change, you best go to Satan for help.
Repent
Text and Jesus prophetically speaks:
7 Therefore be patient, brethren, until the coming of the Lord.(i.e. My Coming) See how the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth, waiting patiently for it until it receives the early and latter rain. 8 You also be patient. Establish your hearts, for the coming of the Lord is at hand
