Hi there,
So there is a very difficult thing, at the Cross: seeing the Cross as a prophecy, of the power of the Holy Spirit to come. But in a sense, all things are prophetic, of things like them to come. The point is, that we clearly see a separation, between blood and water - in Christ, on the Cross. This separation symbolizes the surrender to and reverance of God, which the Holy Spirit will have, when He comes. However, there is a power that comes against, this revelation: the anti-Christ.
The anti-Christ is only concerned with the flesh; his very being, wars with God and tires those, who deal with him. The Holy Spirit comes against this anti-Christ, and the war between them, if nothing else is done, is perpetual. As it says in Revelation "the eighth beast is of the seven and goes into perdition", this perdition is a perdition of the flesh. The Holy Spirit cannot exist in relationship to this beast and works against him, whatever he tries next to do. The power of God, though, is to put that enmity to death.
God then, will separate. As He did at the Cross, God will separate the spirit of the Holy Spirit, from the spirit of the anti-Christ and the anti-Christ will cease to war. As Revelation highlights, the people will say "who can go to war with him?" because He does not cease to war, but God's power is greater: God will cause him to war with what he does not know and not knowing it, he will have no way to war against it. Meanwhile the Holy Spirit will inhabit the body of faith that remains, and neither will it die, nor will it tire the Holy Spirit. The kingdom of God, will be within. And the Holy Spirit will draw the anti-Christ, to rest, in his separation from the Word.
This is what has been persecuting Christians, all this time: constant war. The faith knows it as the work of the anti-Christ, but is unable to blame him, for wanting more, though the faith also doubts, that what more he needs, needs to be sin. When the separation of Holy Spirit and anti-Christ is complete, the anti-Christ will cease to war for things of beneath; but the anti-Christ will urge that men seek. If men seek, because they are urged, eventually they will find Christ. The power of the snare, on the Earth, that man travail his faith in the flesh, will be broken and men will embrace Christ freely. This is the beginning of the end.
The power of our word, then, is that it keeps in the Holy Spirit - if we are in the Holy Spirit when the "Separation" comes, our souls will be delivered from this world.
