Sunday, November 01, 2009, 10:48 p.m. – I was lying in bed praying when I had THIS VISION: I saw multiple cartoon images of food people, i.e. they were cartoon images of food that were like people, kind of like Spongebob is a sponge but he is like a person. They were like that, like one might see in TV commercials. There were so many of them and they seemed to keep multiplying like they were on a conveyer belt of some kind. In amongst these cartoon food-people was a snake. It was quiet and subtle and blended into the background as it moved in among the food-people.
Then the snake grew in length and it really looked more like a jet stream on weather radar, only there appeared to be multiple streams that were going in and out of each other or were crossing each other, or else it was one very long snake that was crossing in and over itself. Then, the snake began to form a circular motion and it looked like satellite pictures of storms. This continued for a few minutes. I heard in my mind, “Get up and write this down.”
Then I saw cartoon barnyard animals such as pigs, cows, ducks and birds. I inquired of the Lord concerning the beginning of this vision and then I saw a cartoon train engine blow its steam out of its smoke stack and I heard “Thomas the Train.” I had the impression that I was watching a children’s Christmas movie. END
“Thomas the Tank Engine is a fictional anthropomorphic steam locomotive created by the Rev. W. V. Awdry as one of a number of characters in his Railway Series books, first published in the 1940s… Thomas the Tank Engine first appeared in 1946 in the book Thomas the Tank Engine as a station pilot, whose job was to shunt coaches for the bigger engines. He longed for more important jobs such as pulling the express train like Gordon, but his inexperience prevented this. Eventually he was responsible for rescuing James after an accident, and the Fat Controller (then known as the Fat Director) decided that he was a Really Useful Engine, and ready for his own branch line. He has remained in charge of this line ever since, with his two coaches Annie and Clarabel, and help from Percy the Small Engine and Toby the Tram Engine.” Thomas the Tank Engine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Speak, Lord, for your servant is listening. I read Nahum 3:
Woe to Nineveh 1 Woe to the city of blood, full of lies, full of plunder, never without victims! 2 The crack of whips, the clatter of wheels, galloping horses and jolting chariots! 3 Charging cavalry, flashing swords and glittering spears! Many casualties, piles of dead, bodies without number, people stumbling over the corpses- 4 all because of the wanton lust of a harlot, alluring, the mistress of sorceries, who enslaved nations by her prostitution and peoples by her witchcraft.
5 "I am against you," declares the LORD Almighty. "I will lift your skirts over your face. I will show the nations your nakedness and the kingdoms your shame. 6 I will pelt you with filth, I will treat you with contempt and make you a spectacle. 7 All who see you will flee from you and say, 'Nineveh is in ruins—who will mourn for her?' Where can I find anyone to comfort you?" 8 Are you better than Thebes, situated on the Nile, with water around her? The river was her defense, the waters her wall.
9 Cush and Egypt were her boundless strength; Put and Libya were among her allies. 10 Yet she was taken captive and went into exile. Her infants were dashed to pieces at the head of every street. Lots were cast for her nobles, and all her great men were put in chains. 11 You too will become drunk; you will go into hiding and seek refuge from the enemy. 12 All your fortresses are like fig trees with their first ripe fruit; when they are shaken, the figs fall into the mouth of the eater.
13 Look at your troops— they are all women! The gates of your land are wide open to your enemies; fire has consumed their bars. 14 Draw water for the siege, strengthen your defenses! Work the clay, tread the mortar, repair the brickwork! 15 There the fire will devour you; the sword will cut you down and, like grasshoppers, consume you. Multiply like grasshoppers, multiply like locusts!
16 You have increased the number of your merchants till they are more than the stars of the sky, but like locusts they strip the land and then fly away. 17 Your guards are like locusts, your officials like swarms of locusts that settle in the walls on a cold day— but when the sun appears they fly away, and no one knows where. 18 O king of Assyria, your shepherds slumber; your nobles lie down to rest. Your people are scattered on the mountains with no one to gather them. 19 Nothing can heal your wound; your injury is fatal. Everyone who hears the news about you claps his hands at your fall, for who has not felt your endless cruelty?
My Understanding: What the Lord is showing me here, I believe, is a history of cartoons produced for small children that have agendas in them, whether they are political agendas, the homosexual agenda and tolerance messages, or whether they promote Santa Claus or they glorify witchcraft, the magic arts, mystical religions, etc. And, Satan is at the root of all of these agenda-driven cartoons aimed at young minds. The messages are often hidden, subtle and quietly sneaked into the background, or sometimes they are quite blatant and “in your face.” That is the reference to the snake that quietly and subtly moved in amongst them.
These cartoon images were like food-people. Food is what we eat. Food is also a term for the spiritual training, learning and teaching that we, as believers in Jesus Christ, take into our hearts and minds. But, Satan is also “feeding” our minds with his “food.” The snake has been growing and growing and these cartoons and their often hidden messages and agendas intended to influence young minds has also been growing and multiplying like on a conveyer belt as they are mass produced. The danger is really in the fact that these messages are disguised, hidden, subtle, and they often take real spiritual discernment to see them.
I saw the movie “Barnyard” when it came out in the theatres. I saw it with my grandchildren. I was appalled at the gross display of the homosexual agenda, i.e. the cow (cows are female) was male and he used the female parts of his body that were intended to feed the young as though they were male sexual organs. It was awful! I wanted to get up and leave, but I didn’t know how to explain it to my grandchildren as they were too young to understand. Their moms were there, so that would have still left them watching the movie. This was 3 years ago when it came out. Thinking back on it, I should have gotten up and left, even if my grandchildren didn’t understand. This is why I don’t take my grandchildren to cartoon movies or any movies anymore. Another one I took them to was “Happy Feet” when it first came out. That one was filled with tolerance messages, anti-Christian messages and “global warming” political messages. That was another one I should have walked out of and didn’t because I was there with my grandchildren and their moms.
I am not familiar with “Thomas the Train,” so I looked him up and I read some reviews on the cartoon from a Christian perspective. Evidently magic is a big theme in these cartoons that were created by a minister, Rev. Awdry.
Ok, to the scriptures. I believe God is applying this message that was to Nineveh now to the USA. He is saying that we are full of blood, lies, plunder and that we are never without victims. In this case, the victims are children. They are being indoctrinated with messages that are related to political, social and spiritual agendas of the government, false religions and the homosexual agenda. They are victims because they are innocent and they have very impressionable minds. Children see things that adults don’t see, so they can pick up on things that we often miss.
I saw v. 2 in relation to Santa Claus, which is one of the biggest deceptions of all on young minds as he imitates the attributes of Almighty God. V. 2 speaks of the “crack of whips, the clatter of wheels, galloping horses and jolting chariots,” which conjures up images of Santa Claus to me. V. 3 states the result of all of this deception – many casualities, piles of dead, bodies without number… all because of a wanton harlot (the USA), alluring, the mistress of sorceries who enslaved peoples by her witchcraft. Look at how many children’s cartoons involve some type of magic or witchcraft. Most of Disney’s cartoons have some of this.
V. 13 talks about the “troops” being all women. What came to mind here is the homosexual agenda in trying to allow openly gay individuals to serve in the US military. Right now we are under the “Don’t ask and don’t tell” rule. After I wrote down this vision and had gone back to bed, the Lord brought to mind “Hate crimes legislation” which passed into law within the past week. Now it is considered a hate crime to physically do something against someone who is homosexual, but this opens the door to where Christians could be severely persecuted for speaking against homosexuality and it may force Christian employers to hire homosexuals.
V. 15-17 describes these people as multiplying like locusts and that they have increased the number of their merchants till they are more than the stars of the sky and like locusts they strip the land and then they fly away. This fits with this vision about these cartoon commercials (merchants) multiplying in number and being like they were on a conveyer belt. And, then v. 18 states that our shepherds slumber. Our people are scattered and there is no one to gather them. This is quite an indictment but it is so true. Satan has taken America and the church in America, and the homes, families and children of America and the world by storm, but God is also going to judge us via his storms. God is calling each one of us to spiritual discernment here and for us to wake up and see that America has been taken over by the worst enemy of all – Satan. And, God is calling us back to Himself.
Jesus, I My Cross Have Taken / Henry F. Lyte / Mozart/ Arr. Hubert P. Main
Jesus, I my cross have taken, All to leave and follow Thee; Destitute, despised, forsaken, Thou, from hence, my all shalt be. Perish every fond ambition, All I've sought, and hoped, and known; Yet how rich is my condition, God and Christ are still my own!
