Wednesday, November 04, 2009, 12:45 a.m. – I woke up to this song in my mind:
Broken and Free / Roger W. Cabe / Arr. Don Marsh
Like a vase that has been broken, spreading fragrance in the air; Like a man whose son is dying, seeking Jesus ev’rywhere. Like a woman who is bleeding, longing just to touch His robe; I’m a pris’ner that needs freeing, and I’m almost without hope.
Lord I am broken; I’m in need. And I know my earthly efforts will never bring me peace; For it’s not until my selfish will lies broken at Your feet That I sense your tender mercies washing over me; For I know it’s in my brokenness that I will find release.
Like the woman in adult’ry, who needs a brand new start; Like theruler with his riches, who could use a change of heart. Like the leper in his sickness, longing for a healing touch; I am bitter and I’m lonely, and I need Your help so much.
All to Jesus I surrender; all to Him I freely give. I will ever love and trust Him; in His presence daily live.
For it’s not until my selfish will lies broken at Your feet, That I sense Your tender mercies, and I know Your love is working, For it’s only in my brokenness that I can be set free!
I was having a hot flash and could not sleep. I have not had one of those in a long time, but they do occur still every now and then. So, I inquired of the Lord if there was something he wanted to say to me or if he had something he wanted me to write. And, then he reminded me of a vision that I had right before I fell asleep.
Actually, prior to going to bed I had an image in my mind of Glenn Beck. So, I inquired of the Lord. Then, I went to bed and then I had THIS VISION: I saw a man (unidentified) who was facing forward. The man looked similar to Glenn Beck, yet it was not clear to me who the man was. He opened his mouth as if to say or to sing something. Immediately someone’s hands came in from behind him and covered the man’s eyes. Then another hand began to rip away at the man’s right facial cheek. Underneath his cheek it looked either hollow or it looked metal (silver). END
Speak, Lord, for your servant is listening. I read Zephaniah 1 (Note vv. 17-18):
The word of the LORD that came to Zephaniah son of Cushi, the son of Gedaliah, the son of Amariah, the son of Hezekiah, during the reign of Josiah son of Amon king of Judah:
Warning of Coming Destruction 2 "I will sweep away everything from the face of the earth," declares the LORD. 3 "I will sweep away both men and animals; I will sweep away the birds of the air and the fish of the sea. The wicked will have only heaps of rubble when I cut off man from the face of the earth," declares the LORD.
Against Judah 4 "I will stretch out my hand against Judah and against all who live in Jerusalem. I will cut off from this place every remnant of Baal, the names of the pagan and the idolatrous priests- 5 those who bow down on the roofs to worship the starry host, those who bow down and swear by the LORD and who also swear by Molech, 6 those who turn back from following the LORD and neither seek the LORD nor inquire of him.
7 Be silent before the Sovereign LORD, for the day of the LORD is near. The LORD has prepared a sacrifice; he has consecrated those he has invited. 8 On the day of the LORD's sacrifice I will punish the princes and the king's sons and all those clad in foreign clothes. 9 On that day I will punish all who avoid stepping on the threshold, who fill the temple of their gods with violence and deceit.
10 "On that day," declares the LORD, "a cry will go up from the Fish Gate, wailing from the New Quarter, and a loud crash from the hills. 11 Wail, you who live in the market district ; all your merchants will be wiped out, all who trade with silver will be ruined.
12 At that time I will search Jerusalem with lamps and punish those who are complacent, who are like wine left on its dregs, who think, 'The LORD will do nothing, either good or bad.' 13 Their wealth will be plundered, their houses demolished. They will build houses but not live in them; they will plant vineyards but not drink the wine.
The Great Day of the Lord 14 "The great day of the LORD is near— near and coming quickly. Listen! The cry on the day of the LORD will be bitter, the shouting of the warrior there. 15 That day will be a day of wrath, a day of distress and anguish, a day of trouble and ruin, a day of darkness and gloom, a day of clouds and blackness, 16 a day of trumpet and battle cry against the fortified cities and against the corner towers.
17 Iwill bring distress on the people andthey will walk like blind men, because they have sinned against the LORD. Their blood will be poured out like dust and their entrails like filth. 18 Neither their silver nor their gold will be able to save them on the day of the LORD's wrath. In the fire of his jealousy the whole world will be consumed, for he will make a sudden end of all who live in the earth."
I never knew that “cheek” meant all those words, but that certainly gives a description of Glenn Beck and his style of distributing the news from his vantage point. I looked up Glenn Beck on Wikipedia. Evidently he makes about $23 million a year. So, this certainly would coincide with the “silver” underneath his “cheek.” His “cheek” is very profitable for him. I also noted that he is a Mormon. Both his profitable “cheekiness” and his religion appear to fit with the (above) scripture.
Molech/Moloch (v.5): Wikipedia: “In modern English usage, "Moloch" can refer derivatively to any person or thing which demands or requires costly sacrifices.”
I do know that the Mormon religion is very legalistic and is very works-based. So, this appears to fit here with v. 5 and this reference to “Molech.”
Also, there is a message here of how God judges those who say they follow God and yet they bow down to other gods, whether those gods are a false religion or adding on to Christianity, i.e. the Mormons believe in the Bible but also in the book of Mormon, or whether the “false god” is fame and fortune. What the Lord is saying here in this scripture is that when the day of judgment comes, when men walk about as though they are blind, their “other gods” and their silver (their wealth) will not be able to save them against their attackers. Their only salvation is in Jesus Christ, in repentance, in faith and in obedience to Almighty God; to Jesus Christ, our Lord.
Lord I am broken; I’m in need. And I know my earthly efforts will never bring me peace; For it’s not until my selfish will lies broken at Your feet That I sense your tender mercies washing over me; For I know it’s in my brokenness that I will find release.
All to Jesus I surrender; all to Him I freely give. I will ever love and trust Him; in His presence daily live.
For it’s not until my selfish will lies broken at Your feet, That I sense Your tender mercies, and I know Your love is working, For it’s only in my brokenness that I can be set free!

In this vision from November of last year, Glenn Beck is beheaded. I've had 13 visions about Glenn Beck since Aug of 2008, 8 of which were in this same month of November last year at which time I had 15 visions or dreams with Lou Dobbs in them.
Falling Down
Wednesday, November 12, 2008, 11:30 a.m. – This song is in my head:
Free Falling / Tom Petty
She's a good girl, loves her mama Loves Jesus and America too She's a good girl, crazy 'bout Elvis Loves horses and her boyfriend too
It's a long day living in Reseda There's a freeway runnin' through the yard And I'm a bad boy cause I don't even miss her I'm a bad boy for breakin' her heart
All the vampires, walkin' through the valley Move west down Ventura Boulevard And all the bad boys are standing in the shadows And the good girls are home with broken hearts
I wanna glide down, over Mulholland I wanna write her, name in the sky wanna freefall out into nothing Gonna leave this world for a while And I'm free Free fallin'
Wow! That’s such a sad and empty song! Then, the Lord gave me THIS VISION:
I heard something about redeeming something that went like this: “If you haven’t used your redeemer by now, you are too late.”
Then, I saw a bull’s head and horns and then flames. And, I saw Hugo Chavez. Then, I saw a cow cut in half; chopped with an axe. And, I saw Glenn Beck being beheaded.
Then, the Lord gave me this song: High and Lifted Up / Hillsong
Lord of all the earth And all of heaven I come and seek Your face Worship You with all I have within me Humbled by Your grace
Every heart every nation Every tribe all creation Will bow before Your presence and sing
You are high and lifted up You are high and lifted up And my soul sings hallelujah To the Lamb The Lamb of God
Next the Lord showed me someone I know who used to live in Ventura, CA for many years. He was in Germany with the US army in the late 1960’s. He is a radical voice against the US government and President Bush, against the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and he has a strong voice against the Freemasons. He is of a religious sect that follows only the teachings of Jesus and regards the rest of the teachings of scripture as irrelevant to today, from what I understand of it.
Then, I saw a gun and I heard “Oozie,” and then I saw someone being shot between the eyes. [An Oozie is a machine gun.] END
Hugo Chavez: “Hugo Rafael Chávez Frías… is the current President of Venezuela. As the leader of the Bolivarian Revolution, Chávez promotes a political doctrine of democratic socialism and Latin American integration. He is also a critic of neoliberalism, globalization, and United States foreign policy…” http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hugo_Ch%C3%A1vez
Speak, Lord, for your servant is listening. I read Amos 5:18-27:
The Day of the LORD 18 Woe to you who long for the day of the LORD! Why do you long for the day of the LORD? That day will be darkness, not light. 19 It will be as though a man fled from a lion only to meet a bear, as though he entered his house and rested his hand on the wall only to have a snake bite him. 20 Will not the day of the LORD be darkness, not light— pitch-dark, without a ray of brightness?
21 "I hate, I despise your religious feasts; I cannot stand your assemblies. 22 Even though you bring me burnt offerings and grain offerings, I will not accept them. Though you bring choice fellowship offerings, I will have no regard for them. 23 Away with the noise of your songs! I will not listen to the music of your harps. 24 But let justice roll on like a river, righteousness like a never-failing stream!
25 "Did you bring me sacrifices and offerings forty years in the desert, O house of Israel? 26 You have lifted up the shrine of your king, the pedestal of your idols, the star of your god — which you made for yourselves. 27 Therefore I will send you into exile beyond Damascus," says the LORD, whose name is God Almighty.
My Understanding: The song “Free Fallin” is such a hopeless song. Yet, I have the sense that the Lord is saying that the USA is like this man in this song – we’re just free fallin’ out into nothing – so sad!
The first part of the vision speaks of it being “too late” if you have not used your “redeemer” by now. The Lord is talking here of this Day of the Lord when judgment comes. So many people think they will always have another chance. Don’t bet on it.
The Lord has been showing me a world of evil that the prophets of long ago spoke about in the Bible. He has pictured it with a bull with horns sitting on a throne in the underworld and he has also shown me a goat or a ram with horns in this same underworld where evil reigns. The Bible tells us that in the last part of the tribulation period that the Lord will remove his hand and will allow Satan and his kingdom to rule over the world for a time, times and half a time. It is unimaginable what that will be like. I am blown away just by the visions the Lord has been giving me.
A cow is a symbol of sacrifice, I believe, and is often used in cultic religions. The Lord is speaking here about how he hates our religious feasts and our assemblies. He has no regard for our sacrifices. He is speaking here of false religion whether you are Baptist, Presbyterian, Lutheran, Catholic, Mormon, etc. If our sacrifices to God do not spring from pure hearts that are listening to and are obeying God’s voice, then he doesn’t want them. He will cut them in half just like this cow was chopped in half.
Glenn Beck and this other man I mentioned both represent people of cultish faith, but they are also people who stand for many of the right things, who speak out against evil, who perhaps are involved in humanitarian causes, but the Lord is saying that he doesn’t care about those things if they don’t spring from a pure devotion to our Lord Jesus Christ and in obedience to Him and His will for our lives. God doesn’t want our ‘good deeds.’ He wants us on the altar. He wants living sacrifices, not dead ones... well, first we have to die and then we can be living sacrifices.
Glenn Beck is beheaded in this vision. A head represents our minds; what we think. And, the scripture talked about fleeing from a lion (CNN?) only to meet a bear (FOX?). The Lord has shown me Fox News previously as being run by Satan and the US government. So, the “beheading” could certainly be symbolic of perhaps losing his reason and intellect and not making a wise decision or it could be that someone got a hold of him and brain washed him, or it could be that the Lord is using him as an example of false religion and that God’s judgment will behead that false faith.
The other man got Oozied between the eyes. The eyes of a man are symbolic of judgment; discrimination, discernment, etc. Right between the eyes has an element of surprise – didn’t see it coming. That is the way this judgment is going to be. The Lord is saying that these men represent those who have lifted up the gods they made for themselves, but the Lamb of God is the only one to be high and lifted up.

Isn't it amazing that when you started to have visions about him, he was just another TV show. Now, he is such a symbol of controversy, and even division.
Between the eyes A machine gun pelts a victim repeatedly, so quickly there is little chance of them surviving. Between the eyes is a spot that is known for low survival rate. (Also between eyes as knowledge or vision, seeing both sides; brain behind this.)
It is used illegally by militant leaders and gangs. The ooz term used to be associated with certain countries.
Cow I saw Hugo Chavez. Then, I saw a cow cut in half; chopped with an axe.
A domestic cow is used for milk, meat, labor, leather, fuel, fertilizer. People's sustenance often revolves around its use. It has sometimes represented economic health or wealth of a region. It could also show a productive area being split.
South America overtook the US in production of certain agricultural products. The US used to be considered the breadbasket of the world. This impacts commodities markets.
It also has intelligence and emotion -- it is alive. To sacrifice, we have to make a painful decision. The dream cow appeared to be split without hesitation. Festivals
The Lord is speaking here about how he hates our religious feasts and our assemblies... If our sacrifices to God do not spring from pure hearts that are listening to and are obeying God’s voice, then he doesn’t want them.
Including the festivals makes me think of your Christmas dream. Everyone chants "the meaning of Christmas" and then ignores it themselves. Christians have so few holy festivals compared to those required in the Law of Moses, and we can't even keep those honorable.
It is not just the inclusion of eggs and men climbing down our chimneys. When we attend services, we are preoccupied with the roast in the oven, the gifts that aren't wrapped yet. Quiet times are neglected because guests are in the house, and there is so much to do. Christmas seems to squeeze toward a vacancy of Jesus.
We celebrate the day, and imagine we have done something for God. Leaving His presence out of the picture.
"who also swear by Molech"...Then, I saw a bull’s head and horns and then flames.
Molech was a bull idol. People burned their children at the base. Sacrifices were costly, unreasonable, and extremely offensive.
Still, people followed this religious rite when it made little sense. There might have been social pressure, or long-ingrained religious teaching on it. In any case, people went to extremes for something they hoped would help, and appease their god.
In a contemporary country, people could feel this obligation to appease their rulers or dominating forces.
"The idol was hollow and was divided into seven compartments, in one of which they put flour, in the second turtle-doves, in the third a ewe, in the fourth a ram, in the fifth a calf, in the sixth an ox, and in the seventh a child, which were all burned together by heating the statue inside."

How true, especially this last part you stated about Christmas - very well worded!! Yet, so sad, too!!

Thank you for sharing that insight! It continually amazes me how the Lord shows me things via dreams and visions that I do not know in the natural and then he shows me how they fit with scripture and/or how they fit with what is going on in the news. I am constantly in AWE of Almighty God!
