Monday, November 17, 2008, 4:33 p.m. – this song is in my head:
JESUS MESSIAH / CHRIS TOMLIN
He became sin, who knew no sin
That we might become His righteousness
He humbled himself and carried the cross
Love so amazing, love so amazing
Jesus Messiah, name above all names
Blessed redeemer, Emmanuel
The rescue for sinners, the ransom from Heaven
Jesus Messiah, Lord of all
His body the bread, his blood the wine
Broken and poured out all for love
The whole earth trembled, and the veil was torn
All I hope is in You, all I hope is in You
All the glory to You, God, the light of the world
The Lord gave me A VISION: I saw soldiers scrambling around everywhere, rushing back and forth, darting about here and there; visions of war; battles, etc. Some of this was from movies I had previously seen about the US military and about war, yet it wasn’t like I was seeing a movie. I was seeing in 3D and it was like I was right there among the soldiers. This went on for about 5 to 10 minutes with scene after scene after scene of soldiers and war scenes. All during this I was hearing the song, “We gather together to ask the Lord’s blessing; He chastens and hastens…”
I heard the name Denzel Washington, and then I heard the name of a movie, “Courage Under Fire.” http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Courage_Under_Fire.
Following that I heard the name of this movie, Mr. Smith Goes to Washington: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mr._Smith_Goes_to_Washington or Mr. Deeds Goes to Town: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0027996/plotsummary. What I heard was “Mr. Deeds Goes to Washington,” so it could be a combination of the two of these.
Then, I saw a bear standing on my right (east) facing left (west). After that I saw a bull on my left (west) facing the right (east). And, there was a hobby horse in between the bear and the bull.
Jesus Messiah, name above all names, blessed redeemer, Emmanuel
The rescue for sinners, the ransom from Heaven, Jesus Messiah, Lord of all
Next I saw a pig and then I saw Karl Rove. Then I saw what looked like men posing for a picture of a ground breaking for something. END
Jesus Messiah, name above all names, blessed redeemer, Emmanuel
The rescue for sinners, the ransom from Heaven, Jesus Messiah, Lord of all
Speak, Lord, for your servant is listening. I read Nahum 2:
Nineveh to Fall
1 An attacker advances against you, Nineveh .
Guard the fortress,
watch the road,
brace yourselves,
marshal all your strength!
2 The LORD will restore the splendor of Jacob
like the splendor of Israel,
though destroyers have laid them waste
and have ruined their vines.
3 The shields of his soldiers are red;
the warriors are clad in scarlet.
The metal on the chariots flashes
on the day they are made ready;
the spears of pine are brandished.
4 The chariots storm through the streets,
rushing back and forth through the squares.
They look like flaming torches;
they dart about like lightning.
5 He summons his picked troops,
yet they stumble on their way.
They dash to the city wall;
the protective shield is put in place.
6 The river gates are thrown open
and the palace collapses.
7 It is decreed that the city
be exiled and carried away.
Its slave girls moan like doves
and beat upon their breasts.
8 Nineveh is like a pool,
and its water is draining away.
"Stop! Stop!" they cry,
but no one turns back.
9 Plunder the silver!
Plunder the gold!
The supply is endless,
the wealth from all its treasures!
10 She is pillaged, plundered, stripped!
Hearts melt, knees give way,
bodies tremble, every face grows pale.
11 Where now is the lions' den,
the place where they fed their young,
where the lion and lioness went,
and the cubs, with nothing to fear?
12 The lion killed enough for his cubs
and strangled the prey for his mate,
filling his lairs with the kill
and his dens with the prey.
13 "I am against you,"
declares the LORD Almighty.
"I will burn up your chariots in smoke,
and the sword will devour your young lions.
I will leave you no prey on the earth.
The voices of your messengers
will no longer be heard."
My Understanding: The Lord is using this prophecy against Nineveh to speak his words against the USA. He is saying that an attacker is going to come against us, which is pictured, I believe, by the bear. The scripture states that the shields of his soldiers are red and that the warriors are clad in scarlet. Red is generally a color associated with communism as well as it is the color of blood in war.
This battle that I was seeing in my vision is what is being portrayed here in this passage of scripture with military vehicles and personnel rushing back and forth, darting about, and literal warfare taking place between two opposing forces.
My commentary suggests that v. 5 is talking about the country being attacked, and I agree. So, this is talking about the USA summoning troops yet they stumble on the way. I believe our troops are illustrated by this hobby-horse. It was in between the bear and the bull (USA) in the vision because moving from verse 4 to verse 5 is a transition from the country doing the attacking to the country being attacked and v. 5 speaks of picked troops (USA) stumbling on their way.
Ok, next in v. 6 it speaks of river gates being thrown open and the palace collapsing. At the end of my vision, men were standing around for a ground breaking ceremony. I had a feeling that this was speaking of the US Embassy in Iraq which is the size of the Vatican, and my commentary suggested that these “river gates” were along the Tigris River, which is the location of the US Embassy in Iraq. This could also certainly be Washington D.C. or certainly this is against our leaders in Washington D.C.
Next, in v. 7, it speaks of “slave girls.” And, in my vision, Karl Rove was referred to once again as a “pig.” Karl Rove carries with him a nickname of “Miss Piggy” and he is known to frequent gay bars, so I suspect the ‘slave girl’ here is Miss Piggy Rove.
V. 11 also caused me to think about the US Embassy in Iraq, because it was built like a self-contained fortress; a city within itself that needs no outside resources. So, the question is posed to the US government, “Where now is your lions’ den… where the lion and lioness went, and the cubs, with nothing to fear?” This has got to be a location that was built to withstand an attack of great magnitude, and yet God is saying that even if we guard our fortresses, watch the road, marshal all our strength, etc., that we will not be able to withstand this enemy, because he is sent by God.
