Monday, November 17, 2008, 10:33 p.m. – This song is in my head:
I Surrender All / Clay Crosse / David Moffit and Reggie Hamm
I have wrestled in the darkness of this lonely pilgrim land
Raising strong and mighty fortresses that I alone command
But these castles I've constructed by
the strength of my own hand
Are just temporary kingdoms on foundations made of sand
In the middle of the battle I believe I've finally found
I'll never know the thrill of victory
'til I'm willing to lay down
All my weapons of defense and earthly strategies of war
So I'm laying down my arms and running helplessly to Yours
I surrender all my silent hopes and dreams
Though the price to follow costs me everything
I surrender all my human soul desires
If sacrifice requires
That all my kingdoms fall
I surrender all...

The Lord gave me A VISION: I saw a very fat man looking straight ahead. He was sitting on the floor with his legs crossed and his arms were folded in front of him. He looked Chinese. Then, I saw an elephant dressed in oriental royal-looking coverings of some kind and then I saw another royal-dressed animal that looked like a monkey. He rolled over on his back and was being playful like a monkey.
Then I saw images of India, Japan, Vietnam, and Korea, like the Lord was taking me on a tour of Asia. I saw images of leaders and dictators from Asia that I have seen over the years. Then the Lord showed me a reference to Marxism, I believe.
Next I saw “Santa Claus” sitting in his sleigh and cracking the whip to let his reindeer know it was time to go. Then I saw him take off into the sky and then it was the US space shuttle Endeavour flying in the sky as though the Lord was overlapping the two. As we know, Santa Claus is a myth; a fairy tale. I believe the Lord is saying that our government is telling us a “fairy tale,” too, about this space mission.
I saw a bulldog sitting in a cushioned chair and then I saw a kitty on the arm of the chair. Following that I saw a wiener dog on my right standing on its hind legs like it was a man and then I saw on my left a very large rat walking to the right with his shoulders slumped over and his arms hanging down low just like he was a man.
I saw the bulldog again and then I saw Lou Dobbs and I realized that they were both sitting with their arms in the same position. I also saw Candy Crowley of CNN:
http://www.gogomag.com/talkingheads/bios/females/Candy_Crowley.php. I am seeing the kitty as Kitty Pilgrim of CNN: http://www.gogomag.com/talkingheads/bios/females/Kitty_Pilgrim.php. And, I’m seeing the wiener dog as Michael Goodwin of CNN who also frequents the Lou Dobbs show. I’m not sure yet about the rat. I did see Robert Zimmerman fade in and out quickly.
Ok, next I saw the rat on my left stretching his body and head upward toward someone or something above him and to the right and as though he was either giving something or taking something from this person or entity. I saw Obama’s face fade in and then fade back out. Then I saw Karl Rove as a pig dressed like a girl. And, I saw Hillary with a smirk on her face and she had cat ears; looked like a cat.
I saw her face again kind of in the middle and at about half-mast. To her right and up much higher than her I saw the Pope. He was facing somewhat forward but also slightly to the left, so at an angle. It looked like the Pope placed a crown on Hillary’s head and when he did that, her face changed and she became an evil monster and she looked very demonic.
Next I saw the Pope standing up high. Near or around him I saw all kinds of Roman Catholic religious symbols. Then, in place of where Hillary was, it appeared to be Jesus during his earthly ministry and he was bowed down with suffering. I heard, “Suffering Servant.”
I saw Lou Dobbs again. And, I saw white birds flying around in the room where he was and they were pecking at things in the room with their beaks. I then saw Michael Goodwin again. His head was oversized like an alien’s head like I’ve seen in an old Sci-Fi movie. Then, I heard “Darth Vader,” and “The Empire Strikes Back.” Then, someone stuck out his tongue as if to intimidate or taunt. Then I saw Joe Biden and then the flying monkeys from The Wizard of OZ. One of the monkeys was hanging by his hand from a tree limb and I heard “Just monkeying around.”
Next I saw the inside of a Roman Catholic Church. I saw the Pope or Bishops, Cardinals and/or priests standing really high up on some kind of platform in the front of the church with a stained-glass window behind them. They appeared to be performing some kind of religious rite. I then saw a crystal ball on the stage with them. Someone was sitting on top of the ball facing to the left. Inside the crystal ball I could see all kinds of evil spirit-looking creatures and then there were human hands inside the crystal ball that were motioning “Come here.” It was spooky.
I then saw a frog and then what looked like a snake going round and round to where it looked like pictures I have seen on a weather radar map of a severe storm and I heard, “A Perfect Storm.” I saw a snake again, and this snake turned into a royal robe that was placed on a man who was being crowned king. He sat on a throne that was made of white wood. The snake then slithered out of the robe (or cape) around the man’s neck and the snake hissed and it just kept slithering around the man as though he possessed the man or was one with the man.
I continued to see all sorts of evil creatures and then I saw a shark attacking someone and then I heard, “It’s the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine.”
Speak, Lord, for your servant is listening. I read Nahum 3:
http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Nahum%203;&version=31;
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?"
... 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...
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...
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?
