Wednesday, November 12, 2008, 10:38 p.m. – I have this song in my head:
Your Grace Is Enough / Chris Tomlin
… Your grace is enough
Your grace is enough
Your grace is enough for me
Great is Your love and justice God
You use the weak to lead the strong
You lead us in the song of Your salvation
And all Your people sing along
I awoke from a dream and just as I was inquiring of the Lord about the dream, I heard “Palin.” So, I asked the Lord if there was something he wanted to show me about Sarah Palin and then he gave me A VISION:
I saw someone open the front door to his or her house to put out a dog, only the dog was really a robot. And, then I saw a bare bones robot. He or she showed me all the many ways he or she could bend and twist his or her arms.
Robert Zimmerman’s face began to appear, but it disappeared just as quickly. I kept praying and then I heard “Sally Field.” Then I saw an arm with skin on twist around, raise up and then come down in repeated motion like it was beating on someone or something.
After that, I saw someone in a cowboy hat riding a bronco inside a fenced-in area, like he or she was riding in a rodeo. I faintly saw the face of Sally Field and then I heard “Burt Reynolds.” I had the feeling this might be about a movie they were in together.
Following this I saw a bull with horns moving its front legs, i.e. hoofs in the dirt in that motion like a bull does when he is getting ready to charge. I could see his nostrils flaring. And, then I saw someone dressed in a costume like he was a bullfighter and this was a planned bull fight.
Robert Zimmerman’s face popped in again for not even a fraction of a second and then I saw an eye. I felt like he was searching for something.
Then, I saw the bull standing up on its hind legs and its upper body looked like that of the Incredible Hulk or like Arnold Schwarzenegger on steroids. Then, the bull’s head turned into the head of a boar.
I still feel like Robert Zimmerman is watching ever so faintly in the distance.
The bull’s arm would begin to come down and then it would fade and then it would begin to come down again and then it would fade and then I heard “Wall Street.” I heard NASDAQ 500, then 400 and then the word “crash.”
Then, I heard the song, “Your Grace Is Enough,” again. And, then I felt again as though Robert Zimmerman was watching. And, ever so faintly I could see Sally Field and I heard “Boniva.” END

Boar: a male pig that has not been castrated. Castrate: to take away the strength, power, force, or vigor of somebody or something (Encarta).
Boniva: a once monthly postmenopausal osteoporosis medication treatment to help manage bone loss. Sally Field does many of the commercials for this medicine.
Robert Zimmerman: “Currently, Zimmerman is a CNN contributor, sometimes appearing on the Lou Dobbs show.”

I remembered this from a previous news article about a bionic arm: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UpOdZB0EPs0 I can’t help but feel that the Lord is somehow connecting this bone loss due to osteoporosis with bionic arms.
Speak, Lord, for your servant is listening. I read Amos 7:
Locusts, Fire and a Plumb Line
1 This is what the Sovereign LORD showed me: He was preparing swarms of locusts after the king's share had been harvested and just as the second crop was coming up. 2 When they had stripped the land clean, I cried out, "Sovereign LORD, forgive! How can Jacob survive? He is so small!"
3 So the LORD relented.
"This will not happen," the LORD said.
4 This is what the Sovereign LORD showed me: The Sovereign LORD was calling for judgment by fire; it dried up the great deep and devoured the land. 5 Then I cried out, "Sovereign LORD, I beg you, stop! How can Jacob survive? He is so small!"
6 So the LORD relented.
"This will not happen either," the Sovereign LORD said.
7 This is what he showed me: The Lord was standing by a wall that had been built true to plumb, with a plumb line in his hand. 8 And the LORD asked me, "What do you see, Amos?"
"A plumb line," I replied.
Then the Lord said, "Look, I am setting a plumb line among my people Israel; I will spare them no longer.
9 "The high places of Isaac will be destroyed
and the sanctuaries of Israel will be ruined;
with my sword I will rise against the house of Jeroboam."
Amos and Amaziah
10 Then Amaziah the priest of Bethel sent a message to Jeroboam king of Israel: "Amos is raising a conspiracy against you in the very heart of Israel. The land cannot bear all his words. 11 For this is what Amos is saying:
" 'Jeroboam will die by the sword,
and Israel will surely go into exile,
away from their native land.' "
12 Then Amaziah said to Amos, "Get out, you seer! Go back to the land of Judah. Earn your bread there and do your prophesying there. 13 Don't prophesy anymore at Bethel, because this is the king's sanctuary and the temple of the kingdom."
14 Amos answered Amaziah, "I was neither a prophet nor a prophet's son, but I was a shepherd, and I also took care of sycamore-fig trees. 15 But the LORD took me from tending the flock and said to me, 'Go, prophesy to my people Israel.' 16 Now then, hear the word of the LORD. You say,
" 'Do not prophesy against Israel,
and stop preaching against the house of Isaac.'
17 "Therefore this is what the LORD says:
" 'Your wife will become a prostitute in the city,
and your sons and daughters will fall by the sword.
Your land will be measured and divided up,
and you yourself will die in a pagan country.
And Israel will certainly go into exile,
away from their native land.' "
My Understanding: This is another one that is going to take some time in prayer, but I do see that the Lord is talking about robots and bionic technology, and that bionics might be in use for people with bone loss. I don’t know the “Palin” connection yet. I have a sense that Robert Zimmerman is the “Plumb Line.” And, it seems obvious that the bull in this context is speaking of Wall Street and the “pig” is related to the government’s $700B bailout package. I see truck drivers with illegal cargo crossing a boarder. This is the second dream recently that involved truck drivers and cargo. I see a stock market crash, I believe, only one that was planned/orchestrated.
The Lord is speaking here about his judgment mixed with mercy (set limits). There is judgment by locusts (robots, perhaps), judgment by fire (don’t know what is in the trucks), the Plumb Line as an investigative reporter (Zimmerman) and the stock market crash as the sword that the Lord will raise against us and that will come down on us. All of this is because of our pride, our greed, our rebellion, our idolatry, disobedience, and our refusal to repent and to return to God Almighty, maker of heaven and earth. Yet, the Lord is still merciful and he is still calling us to repent and to return to him before it is too late.
