The Gathering of Spiritual Israel: The Oil and the Wine
by Dr. Phil Spears
“And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine.”
—Revelation 6:6
A Prophetic Call to the Remnant
There is a stirring in the Spirit. A divine alarm is sounding across the nations—not with the clang of fear, but with the resonance of destiny. The gathering of Spiritual Israel has begun.
This is not about ethnicity. It’s not about geography. This is about identity—the identity of a people marked by the covenant, sealed not with circumcision of flesh, but of heart (Romans 2:29). A people who have oil in their lamps and wine in their vessels.
The Oil: Intimacy with the Spirit
The oil represents the anointing, the presence of the Holy Spirit, the hidden intimacy of those who spend time in the secret place.
This is the Matthew 25 company—the wise virgins who are not living on borrowed fire. They are not fueled by yesterday’s encounters or public platforms, but by a private fire that never goes out.
The Lord is saying:
“I am separating My people not by their knowledge, but by their oil. In this hour, intellect will fail, structures will tremble, but those with oil will rise.”
The Wine: The Power of Transformation
The wine speaks of joy, of covenant, of the new thing. But it also speaks of sacrifice. Wine is crushed grapes, fermented over time. The Lord is gathering a people who have been pressed, misunderstood, and hidden—but in whom a new wine is now fermenting.
These are those who can say with Paul, “We are hard-pressed on every side, yet not crushed.” (2 Corinthians 4:8)
The Lord says:
“I have kept the best wine for last. You are not the leftovers of a former glory—you are the firstfruits of the coming glory.”
The Gathering Has Begun
God is gathering a remnant—not to escape, but to engage. Not to hide, but to herald. They are coming from every tribe, every nation, every denomination, and many from outside the walls of religion altogether. They are marked not by church attendance, but by obedience. Not by charisma, but by character.
This is Spiritual Israel—those whose hearts burn for the King and the Kingdom. A royal priesthood, a holy nation, a peculiar people. (1 Peter 2:9)
Do Not Harm the Oil and the Wine
Revelation 6:6 is a cryptic yet urgent command: “Do not harm the oil and the wine.”
This is not just an economic statement. It is a prophetic protection over the anointed and the transformed. In the midst of shaking, famine, and judgment, God is saying:
“Touch not My anointed, and do My prophets no harm. For in the oil and the wine, I have preserved a remnant that will carry My glory into the final hour.”
The Final Hour Is a Glorious Hour
We are not at the end of the story—we are at the beginning of the greatest chapter. The remnant will arise with oil and with wine. They will be misunderstood by religion and feared by darkness. But they will carry the heart of the Lamb and the roar of the Lion.
Church, it’s time to trim your lamps.
It’s time to press into the secret place.
It’s time to embrace the crushing, for there is wine on the other side.
The gathering is now.
Are you part of it?
