Friday, August 20, 2010, 9:35 a.m. I had a vision when I was up in the middle of the night for a couple of hours. I was not sure it was from the Lord, so I asked the Lord to bring it to my recall when I got up for the day if this was from him. So, as I sat down to write this morning, I inquired of the Lord if there was a dream that he would want to bring to recall, and then I remembered the vision.
THE VISION: I first of all saw what appeared to be a woman having a bowel movement, only it was something white, shiny, and was rounded rectangular-shaped (upside down) with a dark spot on it at the top of the triangle that I saw being excreted. Or, it could be that she was giving birth to this white rounded triangle with the dark spot on top.
Next I saw a naked baby boy lying down. Then, in front of him I saw this rather muscular arm or arms in the southwest corner of my mind, as well as southwest of this naked baby. The arm (or arms) stretched west to east, only more to the middle (Middle East), though the arm (or arms) could have been stretching from the Middle East all the way west. END
This song was going through my mind when I was up in the night:
East To West / Casting Crowns
Here I am, Lord, and I'm drowning in your sea of forgetfulness
The chains of yesterday surround me
I yearn for peace and rest
I don't want to end up where You found me
And it echoes in my mind, keeps me awake tonight
I know You've cast my sin as far as the east is from the west
And I stand before You now as though I've never sinned
But today I feel like I'm just one mistake away from You leaving me this way
Jesus, can You show me just how far the east is from the west
'cause I can't bear to see the man I've been come rising up in me again
In the arms of Your mercy I find rest
'cause You know just how far the east is from the west
From one scarred hand to the other
I start the day, the war begins, endless reminding of my sin
Time and time again Your truth is drowned out by the storm I'm in
Today I feel like I'm just one mistake away from You leaving me this way
I know You've washed me white, turned my darkness into light
I need Your peace to get me through, to get me through this night
I can't live by what I feel, but by the truth Your word reveals
I'm not holding on to You, but You're holding on to me
You're holding on to me
Jesus, You know just how far the east is from the west
I don't have to see the man I've been come rising up in me again
In the arms of Your mercy I find rest
'cause You know just how far the east is from the west
From one scarred hand to the other
One scarred hand to the other
From one scarred hand to the other
Speak, Lord, for your servant is listening. I read Revelation 16 & 17 (excerpts):
NIV Bible Commentary on v. 13 says, The imagery suggests the deceptive propaganda that will, in the last days, lead people to accept and support the cause for evil.
Revelation 17 (selected verses):

Speak, Lord, for your servant is listening. I read Revelation 16 & 17 (excerpts):
The Seven Bowls of God's Wrath
Then I heard the angel in charge of the waters say:
"You are just in these judgments,
you who are and who were, the Holy One,
because you have so judged;
6for they have shed the blood of your saints and prophets,
and you have given them blood to drink as they deserve."
7And I heard the altar respond:
"Yes, Lord God Almighty,
true and just are your judgments."
8The fourth angel poured out his bowl on the sun, and the sun was given power to scorch people with fire. 9They were seared by the intense heat and they cursed the name of God, who had control over these plagues, but they refused to repent and glorify him.
10The fifth angel poured out his bowl on the throne of the beast, and his kingdom was plunged into darkness. Men gnawed their tongues in agony 11and cursed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores, but they refused to repent of what they had done.
12The sixth angel poured out his bowl on the great river Euphrates, and its water was dried up to prepare the way for the kings from the East. 13Then I saw three evil spirits that looked like frogs; they came out of the mouth of the dragon, out of the mouth of the beast and out of the mouth of the false prophet. 14They are spirits of demons performing miraculous signs, and they go out to the kings of the whole world, to gather them for the battle on the great day of God Almighty.
15"Behold, I come like a thief! Blessed is he who stays awake and keeps his clothes with him, so that he may not go naked and be shamefully exposed."
16Then they gathered the kings together to the place that in Hebrew is called Armageddon...
NIV Bible Commentary on v. 13 says, The imagery suggests the deceptive propaganda that will, in the last days, lead people to accept and support the cause for evil.
Revelation 17 (selected verses):
The Woman and the Beast
Then the angel said to me: "Why are you astonished? I will explain to you the mystery of the woman and of the beast she rides, which has the seven heads and ten horns. 8The beast, which you saw, once was, now is not, and will come up out of the Abyss and go to his destruction. The inhabitants of the earth whose names have not been written in the book of life from the creation of the world will be astonished when they see the beast, because he once was, now is not, and yet will come
15Then the angel said to me, "The waters you saw, where the prostitute sits, are peoples, multitudes, nations and languages. 16The beast and the ten horns you saw will hate the prostitute. They will bring her to ruin and leave her naked; they will eat her flesh and burn her with fire. 17For God has put it into their hearts to accomplish his purpose by agreeing to give the beast their power to rule, until God's words are fulfilled. 18The woman you saw is the great city that rules over the kings of the earth."
