Friday, November 14, 2008, 8:18 a.m. – I had this song in my head:
I Will Not Be Moved / Natalie Grant
On Christ the solid rock I stand,
All other ground is sinking sand,
I will not be moved…
Speak, Lord, for your servant is listening. Then, I read Micah 2:
Man's Plans and God's
1 Woe to those who plan iniquity,
to those who plot evil on their beds!
At morning's light they carry it out
because it is in their power to do it.
2 They covet fields and seize them,
and houses, and take them.
They defraud a man of his home,
a fellowman of his inheritance.
3 Therefore, the LORD says:
"I am planning disaster against this people,
from which you cannot save yourselves.
You will no longer walk proudly,
for it will be a time of calamity.
4 In that day men will ridicule you;
they will taunt you with this mournful song:
'We are utterly ruined;
my people's possession is divided up.
He takes it from me!
He assigns our fields to traitors.' "
5 Therefore you will have no one in the assembly of the LORD
to divide the land by lot.
False Prophets
6 "Do not prophesy," their prophets say.
"Do not prophesy about these things;
disgrace will not overtake us."
7 Should it be said, O house of Jacob:
"Is the Spirit of the LORD angry?
Does he do such things?"
"Do not my words do good
to him whose ways are upright?
8 Lately my people have risen up
like an enemy.
You strip off the rich robe
from those who pass by without a care,
like men returning from battle.
9 You drive the women of my people
from their pleasant homes.
You take away my blessing
from their children forever.
10 Get up, go away!
For this is not your resting place,
because it is defiled,
it is ruined, beyond all remedy.
11 If a liar and deceiver comes and says,
'I will prophesy for you plenty of wine and beer,'
he would be just the prophet for this people!
Deliverance Promised
12 "I will surely gather all of you, O Jacob;
I will surely bring together the remnant of Israel.
I will bring them together like sheep in a pen,
like a flock in its pasture;
the place will throng with people.
13 One who breaks open the way will go up before them;
they will break through the gate and go out.
Their king will pass through before them,
the LORD at their head."
Verses 10-11, in particular, stood out to me in relation to the song, “I will not be moved.” On Christ the solid rock I stand, all other ground is sinking sand…
Friday, November 14, 2008, 12:37 p.m. – My husband called me on the phone. As soon as I picked up the phone I saw the face of Barack Obama in my head just as clear as can be. So, when I finished my phone conversation, I inquired of the Lord.
Then, the Lord gave me THIS VISION: I saw what looked like a cartoon drawing of Barack Obama like one might see on a political page in a newspaper, i.e. it was a political satire cartoon of Barack Obama riding on a bicycle up in the sky. Obama had something in his right hand from which he was spraying something that looked like the stuff that is sprayed on crops. It looked like smoke, and the phrase “blowing smoke” came to mind. I heard the music that was played in the movie “Wizard of Oz” when Dorothy’s mean neighbor lady would ride her bicycle. She is the one who took Dorothy’s dog and who turned into a witch on a broom in Dorothy’s dream.

Then, I saw what looked like a man with large wings flying in the sky and then I saw the monkey creatures with wings that were in Dorothy’s dream. Then, they turned into black crows and the crows were pecking at something or someone with their beaks. (No, I have not been watching The Wizard of Oz.)
Following that I saw the Statue of Liberty off in a distance and then I saw a piece of cameo jewelry - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cameo.
After that I saw what I can only describe as “the wrath of God.” I saw fire being blown out of someone’s mouth and then I saw a face in the fire. Then, the face in the fire turned into the face of Satan (traditional image). Then I saw a beast-looking creature wearing some type of a uniform and sitting on a throne – like something out of Star Wars. And, then I heard “Return of the Jedi:”
“The Galactic Empire has been working on the construction of a new armored space station which is to be even larger and more powerful than the first Death Star….” http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Return_of_the_Jedi
Then, I saw what looked like a frog wearing a royal cape and then the frog turned into a snake and the snake began to come out of the royal cape. He had beady eyes and very large fangs in his mouth. He reached out and bit something or someone.
Next, I saw an elephant with two really huge tusks. He was off at a distance. I felt like he was standing in water. It was sort of a cameo appearance with haze around.
Close up, I saw what looked like a ram or a goat with those curled horns. Then I saw a goat with regular horns. After that, I saw fully mature sheep – male, I think. A male sheep is called a ram or a buck.
Following that, I saw an animal kicking its hind legs. I inquired of the Lord as to which animal was kicking and then I saw a dog. It looked like a Terrier. This is it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scottish_Terrier. Anyway, after I saw the Scottish Terrier, then I saw George W. Bush’s face and then what looked like his hands clasped tightly together and then I saw other hands. Then, I heard this oldie song:
You Are the Woman / http://www.geocities.com/bjaes.geo/lyrics/firefall.htm
You are the woman that I've always dreamed of
I knew it from the start
I saw your face and that's the last I've seen of my heart…
Then, up in the sky I could see cattle, horses, baby animals nursing at the nipples of their mother… And, then I heard “To God be the glory, great things He has done!”
Then, I saw a huge gigantic flower open up and out came two gigantic honeybees. Then I saw a lot of light. This whole scene in the sky was so bright by comparison to everything else. The scene was still bright, and then I saw what looked like a lizard and then the lizard stuck out its skinny tongue as if to pick up something. I then saw some kind of flying objects. After that I looked and saw the face of a witch all dressed in white, and then I saw the pope all dressed in white. There was a woman there, too, who appeared to symbolize the Roman Catholic’s perception of Mary, the mother of Jesus. Then, all of a sudden, it was like the bottom dropped out and the kingdom began to fall out through the hole. END
My Understanding: Wow! All I can say is that I know this goes along with this passage of scripture, especially I saw how this last section after the “woman” song parallels vv 12-13 about deliverance promised. This first paragraph fits with v. 12 about the Lord gathering the remnant of Israel. I then see this last paragraph as going along with v. 13. This appears to be a picture of some type of captivity and that the Lord will break open (provided a hole) the way so that the remnant of Israel can be delivered, i.e. the kingdom of God will escape through the gate and go out.
“Over the Rainbow” - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KbeoVFAUwzI&NR=1
Again, the Lord is showing me the true evil that is taking place in the USA and the world and what is yet to come in the Tribulation. And, he is showing me the wrath of God to be poured out on all men during the Tribulation. He is showing how the people want to hear pleasant things and would prefer a prophet who prophecies plenty of beer and wine. But, the Lord is saying that this earth is not our resting place; it is defiled; it is ruined beyond remedy. So, these things must happen.
