Tuesday, November 18, 2008, 2:00 p.m. – I was busily cleaning my house, vacuuming, doing laundry, making beds, etc. and while I was doing this, this song kept running through my head:
Imagine Me Without You / Jaci Velasquez
… Imagine me without you
I’d be lost and so confused
I wouldn’t last a day, I’d be afraid
Without you there to see me through
Imagine me without you
Lord, you know it’s just impossible
Because of you, it’s all brand new
My life is now worthwhile
I can’t imagine me without you
Tuesday, November 18, 2008, 4:44 p.m. – The Lord gave me A VISION: I heard “Miss Piggy” and then “Karl Rove.” Then I saw a cat’s bushy tail swishing back and forth. I then saw the cat. It had fluffy hair and a bow in its hair on top of its head.
8:54 p.m. – I saw angels of God up in the air. At least one of them was blowing a trumpet. Then, I saw a bulldog smoking a cigar. And, I saw the face of Lou Dobbs.
I heard the name “Ronald Reagan,” and then I saw his face. Then, I saw the old actor Tony Randall - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tony_Randall: “Randall was born Arthur Leonard Rosenberg in Tulsa, Oklahoma, the son of Julia (née Finston) and Mogscha Rosenberg, who was an art and antiques dealer.” “Randall then served for four years with the United States Army Signal Corps in World War II, refusing an entertainment assignment with Special Services.” He died 5/17/04. Ronald Reagan, actor turned politician turned president of the USA died 6/5/04. Ronald Reagan also served in the Army Air Force during WWII mainly making training films for the AAF.
Then, I saw the California wild fires. I heard “Jamie Lee Curtis” - Curtis was born in Los Angeles, California, the child of actors Tony Curtis and Janet Leigh. Then, I saw Tony Curtis – “Curtis was born as Bernard Schwartz in the Bronx, New York, the son of Hungarian Jewish immigrants Helen (née Klein) and Emanuel Schwartz. His father was a tailor.” “During World War II Curtis served in the United States Navy aboard USS Proteus (AS-19), a submarine tender. On September 2, 1945, he witnessed the Japanese surrender in Tokyo Bay from about a mile away.”
Then, I saw Donna Reed – “Reed was born Donna Belle Mullenger on a farm near Denison, Iowa, the daughter of Hazel Jane (née Shives) and William Richard Mullenger” - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donna_Reed. Then, I saw people in general dressed from the time period of the 1950’s. I saw snapshots of movies from the ‘50’s. I heard “jetset,” and then I saw Marilyn Monroe – “Monroe's birth certificate names the father as Edward Mortensen, a Norwegian, with his residence stated as "unknown" - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marilyn_Monroe. I saw a host of other Hollywood beauties from that era, too.
Then, I saw snapshots of war movies from that era (post-WWII) – fighter planes, bombs, soldiers in uniform, etc. I was watching WWII fighter planes in the sky when all of a sudden I heard those sounds from the Star Wars movies when their fighter air crafts would shoot at an enemy craft or would dodge each other in flight. It sounded like a video game. In a second the Lord moved me straight from the fighting in WWII to Star Wars kinds of fighting with present-day fighter jets. [I’m not a Star Wars follower so this is out of my league, but I believe the Lord is using this to illustrate where we are today not only technologically but also politically.]
Then, I saw these gigantic-looking robot-type beings dressed all in metal with square cutouts in their metal helmets to see through, I would imagine. They were standing high up and in a row and they just looked ominous.
I saw a figure of a woman with wings of some kind. She was standing up with her wings spread. Her image seemed kind of faded-looking, maybe like she was a hologram or something. Next, I heard the names of two of the Star Wars characters: 1) Obi-Wan Kenobi - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Obi-Wan_Kenobi, and 2) Princess Leia - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Princess_Leia_Organa.
Next, I saw what looked like a bunch of Satanic-looking creatures and I heard “nymphs.”
Then I saw a man running really, really fast from my left (west) to my right (east). He looked like the Bionic Man – “The Six Million Dollar Man is an American television series about a fictional cyborg working for the OSI (which was usually said to refer to the Office of Scientific Intelligence, but sometimes was called the Office of Scientific Investigation as well as the Office of Strategic Intelligence”… “Former astronaut Steve Austin is severely injured in the crash and is “rebuilt” in a title-giving operation that costs six million dollars. His right arm, both legs and the left eye are replaced by "bionic" implants that enhance his strength, speed and vision far above human norms: he can run at speeds of 60 miles per hour (100 km/h), and his eye has a 20:1 zoom lens and infrared capabilities. He uses his enhanced abilities to work for the OSI (Office of Scientific Intelligence) as a secret agent (and as a guinea pig for bionics). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Six_Million_Dollar_Man http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyborg
I heard, “O Lord Jesus how long, how long ‘ere we shout the glad song, ‘Christ returneth, hallelujah, hallelujah, amen. Hallelujah, amen.’”
Then, I saw E.T. with that long finger pointing and the phrase “phone home.” Then, I saw a spacecraft blast through what looked like a planet, from the inside out, and it left a huge hole in it. Then I saw fire and smoke coming out of the tail of the spacecraft and then I saw a picture I had seen recently of a sonic boom - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sonic_boom. 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 Habakkuk 2:
I will stand at my watch
and station myself on the ramparts;
I will look to see what he will say to me,
and what answer I am to give to this complaint.
The LORD's Answer
2 Then the LORD replied:
"Write down the revelation
and make it plain on tablets
so that a herald may run with it.
3 For the revelation awaits an appointed time;
it speaks of the end
and will not prove false.
Though it linger, wait for it;
it will certainly come and will not delay.
4 "See, he is puffed up;
his desires are not upright—
but the righteous will live by his faith -
5 indeed, wine betrays him;
he is arrogant and never at rest.
Because he is as greedy as the grave
and like death is never satisfied,
he gathers to himself all the nations
and takes captive all the peoples.
6 "Will not all of them taunt him with ridicule and scorn, saying,
" 'Woe to him who piles up stolen goods
and makes himself wealthy by extortion!
How long must this go on?'
7 Will not your debtors suddenly arise?
Will they not wake up and make you tremble?
Then you will become their victim.
8 Because you have plundered many nations,
the peoples who are left will plunder you.
For you have shed man's blood;
you have destroyed lands and cities and everyone in them.
9 "Woe to him who builds his realm by unjust gain
to set his nest on high,
to escape the clutches of ruin!
10 You have plotted the ruin of many peoples,
shaming your own house and forfeiting your life.
11 The stones of the wall will cry out,
and the beams of the woodwork will echo it.
12 "Woe to him who builds a city with bloodshed
and establishes a town by crime!
13 Has not the LORD Almighty determined
that the people's labor is only fuel for the fire,
that the nations exhaust themselves for nothing?
14 For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the LORD,
as the waters cover the sea.
15 "Woe to him who gives drink to his neighbors,
pouring it from the wineskin till they are drunk,
so that he can gaze on their naked bodies.
16 You will be filled with shame instead of glory.
Now it is your turn! Drink and be exposed !
The cup from the LORD's right hand is coming around to you,
and disgrace will cover your glory.
17 The violence you have done to Lebanon will overwhelm you,
and your destruction of animals will terrify you.
For you have shed man's blood;
you have destroyed lands and cities and everyone in them.
18 "Of what value is an idol, since a man has carved it?
Or an image that teaches lies?
For he who makes it trusts in his own creation;
he makes idols that cannot speak.
19 Woe to him who says to wood, 'Come to life!'
Or to lifeless stone, 'Wake up!'
Can it give guidance?
It is covered with gold and silver;
there is no breath in it.
20 But the LORD is in his holy temple;
let all the earth be silent before him."
