Thursday, November 13, 2008, 3:14 p.m. – The Lord gave me A VISION:
I saw an elephant moving in a northeasterly direction and then he turned east. Then I saw him raise his elephant trunk about half-way up. I saw Sarah Palin’s face and then I saw someone riding the elephant, which was still heading east. Then, I heard “Todd Palin.”
I saw Sarah Palin’s face again, and then I saw the Cleveland Indians baseball team’s logo of Chief Wahoo (This is the second time the Lord has shown me this team logo).
Following that I saw rabbit ears and someone was twisting them, again, like I had seen in a previous vision I sensed was about twisting the truth via the media.
Now the elephant was facing south and I could look straight into his eyes. They looked fake, like one would find on a stuffed animal. Then, someone twisted the elephant’s trunk and then tied it into a knot. END
I inquired of the Lord if there was more and then he gave me this song:
Jesus Only / Albert B. Simpson / J. H. Burke

Jesus only is our message,
Jesus all our theme shall be;
We will lift up Jesus ever,
Jesus only will we see.
… And for Jesus we are waiting,
Listening for the advent call;
But ’twill still be Jesus only,
Jesus ever, all in all.
Refrain:
Jesus only, Jesus ever,
Jesus all in all we sing,
Savior, Sanctifier, and Healer,
Glorious Lord and coming King.
Speak, Lord, for your servant is listening. I read Obadiah:
The vision of Obadiah.
This is what the Sovereign LORD says about Edom—
We have heard a message from the LORD :
An envoy was sent to the nations to say,
"Rise, and let us go against her for battle"-
2 "See, I will make you small among the nations;
you will be utterly despised.
3 The pride of your heart has deceived you,
you who live in the clefts of the rocks
and make your home on the heights,
you who say to yourself,
'Who can bring me down to the ground?'
4 Though you soar like the eagle
and make your nest among the stars,
from there I will bring you down,"
declares the LORD.
5 "If thieves came to you,
if robbers in the night—
Oh, what a disaster awaits you—
would they not steal only as much as they wanted?
If grape pickers came to you,
would they not leave a few grapes?
6 But how Esau will be ransacked,
his hidden treasures pillaged!
7 All your allies will force you to the border;
your friends will deceive and overpower you;
those who eat your bread will set a trap for you,
but you will not detect it.
8 "In that day," declares the LORD,
"will I not destroy the wise men of Edom,
men of understanding in the mountains of Esau?
9 Your warriors, O Teman, will be terrified,
and everyone in Esau's mountains
will be cut down in the slaughter.
10 Because of the violence against your brother Jacob,
you will be covered with shame;
you will be destroyed forever.
11 On the day you stood aloof
while strangers carried off his wealth
and foreigners entered his gates
and cast lots for Jerusalem,
you were like one of them.
12 You should not look down on your brother
in the day of his misfortune,
nor rejoice over the people of Judah
in the day of their destruction,
nor boast so much
in the day of their trouble.
13 You should not march through the gates of my people
in the day of their disaster,
nor look down on them in their calamity
in the day of their disaster,
nor seize their wealth
in the day of their disaster.
14 You should not wait at the crossroads
to cut down their fugitives,
nor hand over their survivors
in the day of their trouble.
15 "The day of the LORD is near
for all nations.
As you have done, it will be done to you;
your deeds will return upon your own head.
16 Just as you drank on my holy hill,
so all the nations will drink continually;
they will drink and drink
and be as if they had never been.
17 But on Mount Zion will be deliverance;
it will be holy,
and the house of Jacob
will possess its inheritance.
18 The house of Jacob will be a fire
and the house of Joseph a flame;
the house of Esau will be stubble,
and they will set it on fire and consume it.
There will be no survivors
from the house of Esau."
The LORD has spoken.
… Deliverers will go up on Mount Zion
to govern the mountains of Esau.
And the kingdom will be the LORD's.
My Understanding: The first thing that came to my mind with the twisting of the rabbit ears was this news article I read earlier in the day:
McCain 'Insider' Who Leaked Palin Dirt a Fake http://www.newser.com/story/42550/mccain-insider-who-leaked-palin-dirt-a-fake.html
I believe the Lord showed me that this trunk lifted only half-way up was a Hitler salute which symbolizes dominance, a threat and submission. The elephant was headed NE and then turned east. The elephant seems to symbolize the Bush administration, the Republican Party as well as a Hitler regime. When the elephant turned and faced me, it was looking down on God’s people in the day of their disaster (v.13). But, one day God is going to do to them as they have done to others. Their deeds will return upon their own heads.
