I will start with an article I found online on Isaac on 09-11-12:
As Isaac Swept

Rare
Reversal Last Occurred with Hurricane Katrina

People brave
the rain and strong winds for a walk along the banks of the Mississippi River
in New Orleans early in the day on August 28,
2012 in Louisiana,
where Hurricane Isaac made landfall. Starting in the late afternoon, the river
reversed course and began flowing away from the Gulf of
Mexico.
Most of the
time, rivers large and small are as consistent as the tides, flowing from their
headwaters to their mouths, where they empty into oceans, lakes, seas and
valleys. For nearly 24 hours during Hurricane Isaac, however, exactly the
opposite happened in the mighty Mississippi River.
The category
1 storm's intense winds and storm surge, which came ashore near New Orleans on
Aug. 28, pushed salt water from the Gulf of Mexico up the fresh water river as
far north as Baton Rouge, more than 200 miles from the mouth of the
Mississippi, surging the river there more than 8 feet over its previous height.
During the
night in Belle Chase, La.,
just south of New Orleans, the U.S. Geological
Survey’s stream gauge measured the river flowing backwards at 182,000 cubic feet
per second. Normally, the river flows at about 125,000 cubic feet per second
toward the Gulf of Mexico.
“One of the unique things about Isaac was
that, unlike most storms that tend to blow on through, Isaac ended up hanging
around for a while,” said USGS Public Affairs Officer Alex Demas. “Because it
hung around for a while, the storm surge built up enough momentum that it was
able to push the river back up its channel.”
The Mississippi last flowed
backward during 2005’s devastating Hurricane Katrina, when it crested at 13
feet above its previous level. At its highest point during Isaac, the river
crested at 12.4 feet above its previous level.
“We saw an
impact as far as 300 miles upstream from the mouth,” from Isaac’s surge up the
river, said Greg Arcement, the director of the USGS Louisiana Water Science
Center in Baton Rouge. “It had actually quite an impact when you think about
it.”
What had officials
concerned wasn’t just the impacts from storm surge, however. By the time Isaac
arrived, severe drought throughout the Midwest had left the Mississippi several
feet below its normal levels, which meant that salt water moving upstream from
the ocean might easily overpower the depleted fresh water in the river.
Keeping Salt Water from
Moving Up
Salt water
is heavier than fresh water. When surging salt water meets fresh water that’s
been laid low by a months-long drought, the salt water can travel upstream to
places it normally doesn’t, explains Suzanne Van Cooten, Ph.D., a hydrologist
with the National Weather Service’s Lower
Mississippi River Forecast Center.
“It’s very
similar to how a cold front and a warm front work,” she said. “It basically
works like a wedge -- as the column of fresh water gets shallower because we’re
in low flow, it has less weight. So the salt water is able to push underneath
the fresh water and just move on up, because it doesn’t have as much weight to
displace.”
U.S. Army Corps
of Engineers
Denser salt
water flows upstream along the bottom of the Mississippi
River, underneath the less dense fresh river water.
That creates
what the U.S.
Army Corps of Engineers calls a “salt water wedge.” If it moves up far enough
along the Mississippi,
the wedge can threaten cities and towns that rely on the river for their
drinking water as well as industrial water supplies.
To prevent
that, the Corps periodically builds a saltwater barrier sill, a kind of
underwater levee, made from earth along the banks of the river and sandbars
exposed by the drought. The sill stops the toe of the wedge from moving
forward.
“It’s
basically a speed bump at the bottom of the river, to prevent the salt water
from moving upstream,” explains Dave Ramirez, the lead hydraulic engineer with
the Corps’ New Orleans District.
The Corps
builds these sills about every 7 to 8 years, and they work well in normal
conditions. Fears rose sharply that Isaac would destroy this one when the storm
approached, however.
“The toe of
the wedge was about up to river mile 89 [before the storm], which is about the
limit of where we want to see it,” said Ramirez, explaining that the wedge was
about 89 miles up the river from the mouth of the Mississippi. “We didn’t really know if the
sill would hold, because we’ve never had a salt water wedge during a
hurricane.”
Thankfully,
Isaac left the sill undisturbed. After the storm passed, Ramirez and his team
inspected the salt water wedge and determined that it had actually regressed 20
miles back downstream, where he said it was expected to remain for the next few
weeks.
The 300 miles inward flow of the salt water:
Saltwater is used to purify things that are sick,
un-pure, and polluted. The mouth of the Mississippi
represents as we said, the spiritual mouth of the church, the revelatory voice
that is currently flowing that is filled with mixture and pollution from the
world. So God brought Isaac to cleanse the flow of truth that is currently
operating in the church, to bring true life and health back to the church. But
this purging process would be likened to salt and it would hurt as it also
heals.
The 300 represents the testing of the army in Judges
6, where God whittled it all down till
he had 300 left who drank of the waters correctly, and those that did, were
chosen to now fight the battles ahead. So it will be today, the Lord has sifted
and tested, and now is whittling down the army of the church, and the flow of
truth till it is pure, and only those who drink right will be selected to
fight.
09-12-12 I heard the Lord singing these words:
Come into My House,
Come into My House,
Come into My House-
To stay
Why do you wander?
Why do you only play?
Come into My House,
To stay
09-13-12, the Lord began to speak to me again:
Answer the call
Answer the call
Answer the call
My Fire is about to fall
Answer My Call
Forsake it all
Get on My Prayer Wall
My Fire is about to fall
09-14-12, after I laid down to rest, I heard the Lord
speak more:
Turn around, turn around
Seek Me while I may be found
Set your feet on Holy ground
Hear the Trumpets sound
My Hands shall confound
My Hands shall astound
My Hands beat and pound
My People are no longer bound
Let go of earth's desires
Climb up to Me higher
Sell all worldly attires
Do the things I require
Forsake the deadly mire
Follow not the liar
Great events now transpire
Men pass under My wire
Calling, Calling
The proud are falling
Turning, Turning
Be not cold, but burning
Wheels set in motion
The earth in commotion
Churning of the ocean
Mine are in Goshen
I left the room to go to bed for the night, and then I
heard:
Glasses, glasses
My angel now passes
Who can see My stashes
Not the masses

Then I found this online, on 09-15-12:

"Isaac: Harbinger of Change"
8/27/2012
"I found myself talking to three men who
were discussing with me about things to come. One of them said:
"The Hurricane will bring with it much change that will impact
the Republican Party. It also represents the arrival of the
manifestation of the sons of God. Even as Isaac was the son of promise,
promised by the Almighty to Abraham, so
likewise this hurricane represents the arrival of the
manifestation of the sons of God. Many disasters will impact the nation;
many dead Christians will die. He said this three times, reinforcing it
more each time." I was awakened and wrote it down before I forgot
what I had heard.
Interpretation:
The arrival of Tropical Storm/Hurricane Isaac will
usher in the great blessing of the manifestation of the sons of God on this
nation and in the whole world. Many will die as a result of the
cataclysmic events about to take place on this nation and the whole
world. The East Coast, West Coast and New Madrid
Region and Midwest will suffer much
destruction and many will die. The dead, backslidden, worldly Christians
will die along with the wicked during this time, but the Lord shall
preserve His saints, those who are His.
Also with the coming of Tropical Storm Isaac, surprising changes will
take place at the Republican Party. I was not shown what the changes
would be, only that it would happen.
Finally, Tropical Storm/Hurricane Isaac represents the
birth of Spiritual Isaac, the promised one, the manifestation of the sons of
God spoken of by the Apostle Paul. With the arrival of Spiritual Isaac,
will also come the persecution of Isaac by Ishmael. The persecution of
Isaac by Ishmael will begin on this nation and intensify in the whole world in
the following years. I strongly encourage all who read this to make their
calling and election sure. I call upon
all worldly, backslidden believers to repent and return to the Father now. Time is getting short and the sand is almost
gone from the hourglass. The only safe place is in Him.
Romans 8:19-23 “For the earnest expectation of the
creation waits for the manifestation of the sons of God. For the creation was
made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who has subjected
the same in hope, Because the creation itself also shall be delivered from the
bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God. For we
know that the whole creation groans and travails in pain together until now.
And not only they, but ourselves also, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit,
even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, that is,
the redemption of our body.”
Genesis 21:1-3 “And the LORD visited Sarah as he had
said, and the LORD did unto Sarah as he had spoken. For Sarah conceived, and
bore Abraham a son in his old age, at the set time of which God had spoken to
him. And Abraham called the name of his son that was born unto him, whom Sarah
bore to him, Isaac.”
Galatians 4:22-31 “For it is written, that Abraham had
two sons, the one by a bondmaid, the other by a free woman. But he who was of
the bondwoman was born after the flesh; but he of the free woman was by
promise. Which things is an allegory: for these are the two covenants; the one
from Mount Sinai, which brings forth to
bondage, which is Hagar. For this Hagar is Mount Sinai in Arabia, and answers
to Jerusalem
which now is, and is in bondage with her children. But Jerusalem which is above is free, which is
the mother of us all.”
For it is written, Rejoice, you barren that bear not;
break forth and cry, you that travail not: for the desolate has many more
children than she who has a husband. Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are the
children of promise. But as then he that was born after the flesh persecuted
him that was born after the Spirit, even so it is now. Nevertheless what says
the scripture? Cast out the bondwoman and her son: for the son of the bondwoman
shall not be heir with the son of the free woman. So then, brethren, we are not
children of the bondwoman, but of the free.”
1 Samuel 2:9-10 “He will keep the feet of his saints,
and the wicked shall be silent in darkness; for by strength shall no man
prevail. The adversaries of the LORD shall be broken to pieces; out of heaven
shall he thunder upon them: the LORD shall judge the ends of the earth; and he
shall give strength unto his king, and exalt the horn of his anointed.”
Jude 1:3-7 “Beloved, when I gave all diligence to
write unto you of the common salvation, it was necessary for me to write unto
you, and exhort you that you should earnestly contend for the faith which was
once delivered unto the saints. For there are certain men crept in unawares,
who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the
grace of our God into licentiousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our
Lord Jesus Christ.
I will therefore put you in remembrance, though you
once knew this, how that the Lord, having saved the people out of the land of
Egypt, afterward destroyed them that believed not. And the angels who kept not
their first estate, but left their own habitation, he has reserved in
everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day. Even as
Sodom and Gomorrah, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves
over to fornication, and going after unnatural lust, are set forth for an
example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.”
Jude 1:11-16 “Woe unto them! For they have gone in the
way of Cain, and ran greedily after the error of Balaam for reward, and
perished in the rebellion of Korah. These are spots in your love feasts, when
they feast with you, feeding themselves without fear: clouds they are without
water, carried about by winds; trees whose fruit withers, without fruit, twice
dead, plucked up by the roots; Raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own
shame; wandering stars, to whom is reserved the blackness of darkness forever.
And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of
these, saying, Behold, the Lord comes with ten thousands of his saints, To
execute judgment upon all, and to convict all that are ungodly among them of
all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed, and of all their
hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against him. These are
murmurers, complainers, walking after their own lusts; and their mouth speaks
great swelling words, having men's persons in admiration for the sake of advantage.”

What is interesting to me is that our brother had his visitation from the 3 messengers on 08-27-12, and I had the visitation of the 3 messengers on 08-29-12. Both of our visitations are similar in context and themes.....
Now I will re-post of previous release of what the Lord said to us regarding Isaac:
08-29-12 The Three Heavenly Visitors Vision
It has been a
particularly hard week this week, and we are 13 days into the 30 days that the
Lord called us to spend with Him before the new year of 5773. I had been really
tired and was fighting a lot of warfare pressures and enemy interferences all
week. On Wednesday, I was sitting in my living room, when I saw three angels coming
into the living room. They stood to my left by the door area. I noticed them
because they were in the form of red triangular lights. 3 red triangles of
light. I thought to myself, "they are coming in a different manner this
time."
Red: The Blood
of Jesus Christ; The Covenant Triangle:
The Trinity; Godhead
Today was an
important day for the Lord to come in this way and move in our midst in this
manner. The Father has begun something today of significant importance.
The first thought I
had was that it had to do with Abraham and the 3 men that visited him. (The
Lord and 2 angels):
Genesis 18 - The Three Visitors
1 NOW THE Lord appeared to Abraham by the oaks or
terebinths of Mamre; as he sat at the door of his tent in the heat of the day,
2 He lifted up his eyes and looked, and behold, three men stood at a little
distance from him. He ran from the tent door to meet them and bowed himself to
the ground 3 And said, My lord, if now I have found favor in your sight, do not
pass by your servant, I beg of you. 4 Let a little water be brought, and you
may wash your feet and recline and rest yourselves under the tree. 5 And I will
bring a morsel (mouthful) of bread to refresh and sustain your hearts before
you go on further--for that is why you have come to your servant. And they
replied, Do as you have said. 6 So Abraham hastened into the tent to Sarah and
said, Quickly get ready three measures of fine meal, knead it, and bake cakes.
7 And Abraham ran to the herd and brought a calf tender and good and gave it to
the young man [to butcher]; then he [Abraham] hastened to prepare it. 8 And he
took curds and milk and the calf which he had made ready, and set it before
[the men]; and he stood by them under the tree while they ate. 9 And they said
to him, Where is Sarah your wife? And he said, [She is here] in the tent. 10
[The Lord] said, I will surely return to you when the season comes round, and
behold, Sarah your wife will have a son. And Sarah was listening and heard it
at the tent door which was behind Him. 11 Now Abraham and Sarah were old, well
advanced in years; it had ceased to be with Sarah as with [young] women. [She
was past the age of childbearing]. 12 Therefore Sarah laughed to herself,
saying, After I have become aged shall I have pleasure and delight, my lord
(husband), being old also? 13And the Lord asked Abraham, Why did Sarah laugh,
saying, Shall I really bear a child when I am so old? 14 Is anything too hard
or too wonderful for the Lord? At the appointed time, when the season [for her
delivery] comes around, I will return to you and Sarah shall have borne a son.
15 Then Sarah denied it, saying, I did not laugh; for she was afraid. And He
said, No, but you did laugh. 16 The men rose up from there and faced toward Sodom, and Abraham went
with them to bring them on the way. 17 And the Lord said, Shall I hide from
Abraham [My friend and servant] what I am going to do, 18 Since Abraham shall surely become a great
and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth shall be blessed through
him and shall bless themselves by him? 19 For I have known (chosen,
acknowledged) him [as My own], so that he may teach and command his children
and the sons of his house after him to keep the way of the Lord and to do what
is just and righteous, so that the Lord may bring Abraham what He has promised
him. 20 And the Lord said, Because the shriek [of the sins] of Sodom and
Gomorrah is great and their sin is exceedingly grievous, 21 I will go down now
and see whether they have done altogether [as vilely and wickedly] as is the
cry of it which has come to Me; and if not, I will know. 22 Now the [two] men
turned from there and went toward Sodom,
but Abraham still stood before the Lord. 23And Abraham came close and said,
Will You destroy the righteous (those upright and in right standing with God)
together with the wicked? 24 Suppose there are in the city fifty righteous;
will You destroy the place and not spare it for [the sake of ] the fifty
righteous in it? 25 Far be it from You to do such a thing--to slay the righteous
with the wicked, so that the righteous fare as do the wicked! Far be it from
You! Shall not the Judge of all the earth execute judgment and do righteously?
26And the Lord said, If I find in the city of Sodom fifty righteous (upright and in right
standing with God), I will spare the whole place for their sake. 27 Abraham
answered, Behold now, I who am but dust and ashes have taken upon myself to
speak to the Lord. 28 If five of the fifty righteous should be lacking--will
You destroy the whole city for lack of five? He said, If I find forty-five, I
will not destroy it. 29 And [Abraham] spoke to Him yet again, and said, Suppose
[only] forty shall be found there. And He said, I will not do it for forty's
sake. 30 Then [Abraham] said to Him, Oh, let not the Lord be angry, and I will
speak [again]. Suppose [only] thirty shall be found there. And He answered, I
will not do it if I find thirty there. 31 And [Abraham] said, Behold now, I
have taken upon myself to speak [again] to the Lord. Suppose [only] twenty shall
be found there. And [the Lord] replied, I will not destroy it for twenty's
sake. 32 And he said, Oh, let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak again
only this once. Suppose ten [righteous people] shall be found there. And [the
Lord] said, I will not destroy it for ten's sake. 33 And the Lord went His way
when He had finished speaking with Abraham, and Abraham returned to his place.
The significant thing in the visitation is that they
came for 2 purposes.
1. To bless Abraham and Sarah in an appointed time for
them, and to announce His purposes to them for their generation
2. To come with Justice and Judgment on the things
that were due for correction and destruction by the Lord's hand.
Isaac: Laughter
Hurricane Isaac:

Manuel Roig-Franzia and Brady Dennis, Published:
August 29 (excerpts below)
NEW
ORLEANS — Isaac, a vast storm that tore through southeastern Louisiana on
the seventh anniversary of Hurricane Katrina, weakened from a hurricane to a
tropical storm after pushing floodwaters over a levee in marshy Plaquemines
Parish and forcing the dramatic rescue of dozens of stranded residents. Isaac,
which made landfall Tuesday, the 28th, near the mouth of the Mississippi, moved
sluggishly Wednesday on a wobbly northwestern route, at times becoming almost
stationary and dumping large amounts of rain in isolated areas before moving
on. It was progressing so slowly that Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal, who
skipped the Republican National Convention in Tampa to oversee the state’s
response, said the storm could remain in the state as long as Friday morning,
and utility officials were warning that it could take days to restore power. The
storm is forecast to continue to weaken as it moves through Louisiana
and enters Arkansas and the Midwest,
where it is expected to provide some relief for drought-hit fields. Isaac,
which had maximum sustained winds of about 80 mph, knocked out power to more
than 600,000 homes and businesses across the state, shredded roofs in St.
Bernard Parish — one of the hardest-hit areas during Katrina — and toppled
trees and a smattering of streetlights in New Orleans. But Isaac appeared
likely to spare New Orleans
from the devastation wrought by the much more powerful Katrina. Isaac’s
Category 1 winds pushed a 12-foot surge of water over a small, locally
maintained levee that was partially under construction, parish officials said.
As many as 800 homes in the parish may have been damaged, according to a
preliminary estimate announced by Jindal.
1. The Lord came to
announce the beginning of something to Abraham and Sara.
2. The impact point
area of Hurricane Isaac was near the mouth of the Mississippi
River.
The whole
visitation was about divine communications being released to us right now.
Isaac was a category
1. In God's venue, a 1 is very important.
Number 1 on His list
for us, so to speak. It was a warning, and an announcement of blessing, in one
event.
God moves
prophetically in the earth in 7 year cycles. 7 is the number of the 7 Spirits
of God; the manifestation of the 7-fold Holy Spirit, whose eyes are continually
searching out and trying the hearts of men.
Zechariah 3:8 Hear now, O Joshua the high priest, you
and your colleagues who [usually] sit before you--for they are men who are a
sign or omen [types of what is to come]--for behold, I will bring forth My
servant the Branch. 9 For behold, upon the stone which I have set before
Joshua, upon that one stone are seven
eyes or facets [the all-embracing providence of God and the sevenfold
radiations of the Spirit of God]. Behold, I will carve upon it its
inscription, says the Lord of hosts, and I will remove the iniquity and guilt
of this land in a single day.
Let's look at the
significance of Isaac:
Genesis 21:1 THE LORD visited Sarah as He had said,
and the Lord did for her as He had promised. 2 For Sarah became pregnant and
bore Abraham a son in his old age, at the set time God had told him. 3 Abraham
named his son whom Sarah bore to him Isaac [laughter]. 4 And Abraham
circumcised his son Isaac when he was eight days old, as God had commanded him.
5 Abraham was a hundred years old when Isaac was born. 6 And Sarah said,
God has made me to laugh; all who hear will laugh with me. 7 And she said, Who
would have said to Abraham that Sarah would nurse children at the breast? For I
have borne him a son in his old age!
Those who have
labored faithfully without seeing any sign of prophetic promise and/or
fulfillments, will now come full circle with their sudden conceptions and
supernatural ability given to them to bring forth a timely delivery in their
due seasons.
Luke 12:42 And the Lord said, Who then is that
faithful steward, the wise man whom his master will set over those in his
household service to supply them their allowance of food at the appointed time?
Note: The destruction
of Sodom and Gomorrah came before the time of Sara's
conception and delivery.
The Lord is bringing
Justice, Correction, and Destruction and the Sudden, Miraculous births &
Releases at the same time. The watchfulness of Abraham at the door of his tent
is what enabled him to see the Lord's approach. The watchfulness of those who
have been faithfully in prayer and serving the Lord in their courses, is what
has now also brought them into their divine encounters with their destinies.
Genesis 18:1 NOW THE Lord appeared to Abraham by the
oaks or terebinths of Mamre; as he sat at the door of his tent in the heat of
the day, 2 He lifted up his eyes and looked, and behold, three men stood at a
little distance from him. He ran from the tent door to meet them and bowed
himself to the ground.
Genesis 18:9 And they said to him, Where is Sarah your
wife? And he said, [She is here] in the tent. 10 [The Lord] said, I will surely
return to you when the season comes round, and behold, Sarah your wife will
have a son. And Sarah was listening and heard it at the tent door which was
behind Him. 11 Now Abraham and Sarah were old, well advanced in years; it had
ceased to be with Sarah as with [young] women. [She was past the age of
childbearing]. 12Therefore Sarah laughed to herself, saying, After I have
become aged shall I have pleasure and delight, my lord (husband), being old
also?
Ø
1 Peter 3:6 It was thus that Sarah obeyed Abraham
[following his guidance and acknowledging his headship over her by] calling him
lord (master, leader, authority). And you are now her true daughters if you do
right and let nothing terrify you [not giving way to hysterical fears or
letting anxieties unnerve you].
The Appointed
Time; A Set Time; A Time of Prophetic Fulfillment:
Ecclesiastes 3:17 I said in my heart, God will judge
the righteous and the wicked, for there is a time [appointed] for every matter
and purpose and for every work.
Jeremiah 8:6 I have listened and heard, but they have
not spoken aright; no man repents of his wickedness, saying, What have I done?
Everyone turns to his [individual] course, as the horse rushes like a torrent
into battle. 7 [Even the migratory birds are punctual to their seasons.] Yes,
the stork [excelling in the great height of her flight] in the heavens knows
her appointed times [of migration], and the turtledove, the swallow, and the
crane observe the time of their return. But My people do not know the law of
the Lord [which the lower animals instinctively recognize in so far as it
applies to them]. 8 How can you say, We are wise, and we have the written law
of the Lord [and are learned in its language and teachings]? Behold, the truth
is, the lying pen of the scribes has made of the law a falsehood (a mere code
of ceremonial observances).
Habbakuk 2:3 For the vision is yet for an appointed
time and it hastens to the end [fulfillment]; it will not deceive or
disappoint. Though it tarry, wait [earnestly] for it, because it will surely
come; it will not be behindhand on its appointed day.
Acts 1:7 He said to them, It is not for you to become
acquainted with and know what time brings [the things and events of time and
their definite periods] or fixed years and seasons (their critical niche in
time), which the Father has appointed (fixed and reserved) by His own choice
and authority and personal power. 8 But you shall receive power (ability,
efficiency, and might) when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you shall be
My witnesses in Jerusalem and all Judea and Samaria and to the ends
(the very bounds) of the earth.
Hebrews 1:1 IN MANY separate revelations [each of
which set forth a portion of the Truth] and in different ways God spoke of old
to [our] forefathers in and by the prophets, 2 [But] in the last of these days
He has spoken to us in [the person of a] Son, Whom He appointed Heir and lawful
Owner of all things, also by and through Whom He created the worlds and the
reaches of space and the ages of time [He made, produced, built, operated, and
arranged them in order]. 3 He is the sole expression of the glory of God [the
Light-being, the out-raying or radiance of the divine], and He is the perfect
imprint and very image of [God's] nature, upholding and maintaining and guiding
and propelling the universe by His mighty word of power. When He had by
offering Himself accomplished our cleansing of sins and riddance of guilt, He
sat down at the right hand of the divine Majesty on high,
The Season of
Waiting, Testing, and Perfecting of the Faith of those who are called to
Inherit the Promises:
The Big Three:
FEAR - DOUBT - UNBELIEF
1. Sifting out of
those who are fearful, unbelieving, and rebellious from the Camp of the Lord.
Daniel 11:35 And some of those who are wise, prudent,
and understanding shall be weakened and fall, [thus, then, the insincere among
the people will lose courage and become deserters. It will be a test] to
refine, to purify, and to make those among [God's people] white, even to the
time of the end, because it is yet for the time [God] appointed.
Judges 7: 1 THEN JERUBBAAL, that is, Gideon, and all
the people who were with him rose early and encamped beside the spring of
Harod; and the camp of Midian was north of them by the hill of Moreh in the
valley. 2 The Lord said to Gideon, The people who are with you are too many for
Me to give the Midianites into their hands, lest Israel boast about themselves
against Me, saying, My own hand has delivered me. 3 So now proclaim in the ears
of the men, saying, Whoever is fearful and trembling, let him turn back and
depart from Mount
Gilead. And 22,000 of the
men returned, but 10,000 remained. 4 And the Lord said to Gideon, The men are
still too many; bring them down to the water, and I will test them for you
there. And he of whom I say to you, This man shall go with you, shall go with
you; and he of whom I say to you, This man shall not go with you, shall not go.
5 So he brought the men down to the water, and the Lord said to Gideon,
Everyone who laps up the water with his tongue as a dog laps it, you shall set
by himself, likewise everyone who bows down on his knees to drink. 6 And the
number of those who lapped, putting their hand to their mouth, was 300 men, but
all the rest of the people bowed down upon their knees to drink water. 7 And
the Lord said to Gideon, With the 300 men who lapped I will deliver you, and
give the Midianites into your hand. Let all the others return every man to his
home. 8 So the people took provisions and their trumpets in their hands, and he
sent all the rest of Israel
every man to his home and retained those 300 men. And the host of Midian was
below him in the valley. 9 That same night the Lord said to Gideon, Arise, go
down against their camp, for I have given it into your hand.
2. The purging of the
flesh, soul, and spirit's of God's People to bring forth righteousness.
Mark 1:15 And saying, The [appointed period of] time
is fulfilled (completed), and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent ( have a
change of mind which issues in regret for past sins and in change of conduct
for the better) and believe (trust in, rely on, and adhere to) the good news
(the Gospel).
Luke 1:20 Now behold, you will be and will continue to
be silent and not able to speak till the day when these things take place,
because you have not believed what I told you; but my words are of a kind which
will be fulfilled in the appointed and proper time.
Galatians 6:9 And let us not lose heart and grow weary
and faint in acting nobly and doing right, for in due time and at the appointed
season we shall reap, if we do not loosen and relax our courage and faint.
3. The Reward of the
Lord given to those who have faithfully served, persevered, and kept the faith.
Luke 12:42 And the Lord said, Who then is that
faithful steward, the wise man whom his master will set over those in his household
service to supply them their allowance of food at the appointed time?
2 Samuel 7:10 And I will appoint a place for My people
Israel
and will plant them, that they may dwell in a place of their own and be moved
no more. And wicked men shall afflict them no more, as formerly 11 And as from
the time that I appointed judges over My people Israel; and I will cause you to
rest from all your enemies. Also the Lord declares to you that He will make for
you a house: 12 And when your days are fulfilled and you sleep with your
fathers, I will set up after you your offspring who shall be born to you, and I
will establish his kingdom.
4. The Judgment of
the wicked, rebellious, disobedient, and unbelievers:
Numbers 9:13 But the man who is clean and is not on a
journey, yet does not keep the Passover, that person shall be cut off from
among his people because he did not bring the Lord's offering at its appointed
time; that man shall bear [the penalty of] his sin.
1 Samuel 13:7 Some Hebrews had gone over the Jordan to the land
of Gad and Gilead.
As for Saul, he was still in Gilgal, and all the people followed him trembling.
8 Saul waited seven days, according to the set time Samuel had appointed. But
Samuel had not come to Gilgal, and the people were scattering from Saul. 9 So
Saul said, Bring me the burnt offering and the peace offerings. And he offered
the burnt offering [which he was forbidden to do]. 10 And just as he finished
offering the burnt offering, behold, Samuel came! Saul went out to meet and
greet him. 11 Samuel said, What have you done? Saul said, Because I saw that
the people were scattering from me, and that you did not come within the days
appointed, and that the Philistines were assembled at Michmash, 12 I thought,
The Philistines will come down now upon me to Gilgal, and I have not made
supplication to the Lord. So I forced myself to offer a burnt offering. 13 And
Samuel said to Saul, You have done foolishly! You have not kept the commandment
of the Lord your God which He commanded you; for the Lord would have
established your kingdom over Israel forever; 14 But now your kingdom shall not
continue; the Lord has sought out [David] a man after His own heart, and the
Lord has commanded him to be prince and ruler over His people, because you have
not kept what the Lord commanded you.
Jeremiah 46:17 They cried there, Pharaoh king of Egypt
is destroyed and is only a noise; he has let the appointed time [in which God
had him on probation] pass by!
Daniel 11:27 And as for both of these kings, their
hearts and minds shall be set on doing mischief; they shall speak lies over the
same table, but it will not succeed, for the end is yet to be at the time
appointed.
I looked up red
triangles on Wikipedia, and it had an interesting article on various meanings
of them. One I found was in the form of badges, or identifying markers. They
signified being part of the Army: good or bad.

* THE ARMY OF THE
LORD RISES IN 2013:
Isaiah 40:3-5;
Luke 3:6; Isaiah 52:10; Psalms 98:2,3:
The Lord is using
this symbolism to also show us all that we must be those that fully believe in
Him, in His Word, in His Plan and Timing for us, and that we are faithful to
stand firm and to continue fight the good fight of faith till all things are
brought into their prophetic fulfillments. This is a time to stand still and
see the Salvation of God!
Philippians 1:27 Only be sure as citizens so to
conduct yourselves [that] your manner of life [will be] worthy of the good news
(the Gospel) of Christ, so that whether I [do] come and see you or am absent, I
may hear this of you: that you are standing firm in united spirit and purpose,
striving side by side and contending
with a single mind for the faith
of the glad tidings (the Gospel).
Jude 1:3 Beloved, my whole concern was to write to you
in regard to our common salvation. [But] I found it necessary and was impelled
to write you and urgently appeal to and exhort [you] to contend for the faith
which was once for all handed down to the saints [the faith which is that sum of Christian belief which was delivered
verbally to the holy people of God].
Psalms 113:1 PRAISE THE Lord! (Hallelujah!) Praise, O
servants of the Lord, praise the name of the Lord! 2 Blessed be the name of the Lord from this
time forth and forever 3 From the rising of the sun to the going down of it
and from east to west, the name of the Lord is to be praised! 4 The Lord is
high above all nations, and His glory above the heavens! 5 Who is like
the Lord our God, Who has His seat on high, 6 Who humbles Himself to regard the
heavens and the earth! 7 [The Lord] raises the poor out of the dust and lifts
the needy from the ash heap and the dung hill, 8 That He may seat them with princes, even
with the princes of His people. 9 He
makes the barren woman to be a homemaker and a joyful mother of [spiritual]
children. Praise the Lord! (Hallelujah!)

Aimee's Semple Macpherson's Vision of
the End Time Clock:
A Prophetic Picture of where the Church
is in God's Restoration Process:
Tree 1- Caterpillar 1993:
Floods - Mississippi flows backwards Ankle level
Tree 2- Cankerworm 2005:
Katrina - Mississippi
flows backwards Knees
level
Tree 3- Locust 2012:
Isaac - Mississippi flows backwards Loins level
Tree 4- Palmerworm ? Mississippi flows backwards Swimming level
Bob Jones prophesied on 01-01-1993:
At the time Bob received the 3 rivers vision, he was
also told about the floods that were going to come to the Mississippi
River area, which eventually did come. He was even told that it
would look like another great lakes. Even the weather forecasters used that
exact phrase and said, "it appeared as though we had another great lake in
that area." He was given Isaiah 54:2 and Isaiah 24 in connection with
these as well. He even indicated the Mississippi River
would go 35 miles wide, which it actually did, during the flood of 1993.
The original prophecy:
In early 1983, Bob referred again to his White Horse
Vision. He explained that the white horse that he had seen in a stream of water
about 4 inches deep. (The white horse always appeared to symbolize the
corporate work of God in Bob's vision.) Bob had seen this stream turn into a
flood. The angel said that is the strategy, the sign will be the Mississippi.
The Lord told Bob that when the Mississippi
flowed backwards, it was a sign of the timing of the outpouring for America.
The 1993 flood, was a picture of the outpouring of the
Spirit in America, which no banks could contain, which also means that no man
will contain or control this when it comes.
Amen!
