The Curtains Of Time

The Curtains of Time

I have been receiving a recurring vision throughout the day today. At the end of the day, I lay down to sleep and the vision came again, so I got up to write it down before I forgot it all.

I saw before me a stage or platform of sorts. There were many curtains sectioned off all in a row up on the platform. Each section was with its own corresponding curtain. I counted 12 curtains. So, there were 12 sections. An angel stood by each section and had its hand on the curtain. The angel waited for the Lord to tell them when to open the curtain. I saw the Lord who stood nearby nod His head, and the 1^st angel drew back his curtain. Behind it was fire. All I could see was fire. It looked like a furnace of fire. I could even feel the heat from the fire from where I stood. I could also hear singing coming from the flames. I could not understand the words, but I could hear them nonetheless. It was a beautiful song that carried a deep melody that made my heart soar. I listened, and I grew hungry for this fire. I wanted to go into the fire, but the Lord nodded no, and the angel drew back the curtain.

The Lord nodded, and the next angel drew back his curtain. There was a land being shown there with great winds blowing upon it. The trees were all bent over from the fierceness of the winds. I could hear the howling of the winds and it seemed that nothing else could be heard over it. The winds were blowing everything in that land and there was nothing that was not blown by the winds in that land. All was affected. Nothing grew but the trees, and they were very heavily bent over. I did not see any people out in the winds, but I felt that there were people that dwelled there. Everything was at the mercy of the blowing of the winds. I did not want to go there. The Lord nodded to the angel, and the curtain fell in folds before that scene.

The next curtain was opened by the next angel and behind that curtain was rain. Great rains were falling upon the land in this scene. The rain was like sheets that fell. Great blankets of rain that flooded instantly wherever it landed. You could hear the rain and it sounded like drummers drumming on a drum. It fell till some areas were submerged, and others were lifted up. I don’t know what that meant, as I did not know how water could lift up an area, but that is what I saw. The rains were also like little hammers, as the drops would break down what was hard, and tear up that which was solid. Everything was made to open up in this rain. Everything expanded and either sank or rose up in the rain. Then the Lord nodded and this curtain also closed before me.

The next curtain opened with the Lord’s nod, and I saw war. I saw war amongst houses. One house was shooting at the next house. I saw cities at war with other cities. One city was attacking the next city. I saw businesses at war with other businesses. I saw countries at war with other countries. Everything was set against the other. It was appalling to see the animosity and anger being released against one another.  I could not understand what had caused the uprisings and the hostility. It seemed that everyone was participating in the attacks, and that there was no peace in this scene. I did not want to watch it anymore. The Lord signaled to the angel, and he dropped his curtain as well.

The next curtain was opened, and it was full of light. The light was blinding, and very gold in color. It was like deep gold, burnished and shining. It almost looked solid. I thought it must be solid gold, but the Lord assured me it was indeed the light. I could feel the life and energy from this golden light and I felt so drawn to it, that I stepped forwards, but the angel looked fiercely at me and I stopped. He said, “You are only to observe at this time.” So I watched and wondered. The light pulsated and almost danced in it’s brilliance. I could not see through it, but could only look upon it. The life coming out of it was wonderful. The Lord nodded, and the angel lowered his hand and the light disappeared behind it’s folds.

The next angel then waited for the Lord to nod. The Lord did not nod right way, but waited. I wondered why the Lord did not give His approval as he had done so before. He only waited silently. After a few minutes, He finally sighed and nodded. The angel raised his hand and opened the curtain. What I saw was shocking and amazing at the same time. I saw many nations spread out like a carpet or a map. I saw great bolts of lightning coming down from heaven and the bolts were fierce-some. Great peals of thunder sounded, and lightning flashed, and the bolts would strike here and there on the map. When they struck I could hear voices speaking. I could hear the sound of the voices but I could not make out the words. As the voices spoke, the ground under the map shook. The ground rose up with each lightning bolt that struck it. The sky was dark like it was night time, but lit up like the day time with each lightning bolt strike. I don’t know how long the lightning struck and the thunder sounded, but it seemed like a short time. Then everything was quiet. Dead quiet. Nothing moved. The sky was dark, and the winds died down and the lightning and thunder had ceased, and now there was peace. I wondered what had happened to the lands during the great storm. I did not find out because the curtain dropped.

I looked at the Lord, and He nodded to the next angel. The angel reached up and pulled the curtain back. Behind this curtain were floods. There were areas that were flooded with great floods of water. I did not know if the floods were the result of prolonged rains or from another source. The Lord did not show this. But I did notice that in these flood waters the waters boiled. It seemed like the water was churning or simmering. I did not feel that it was from heat. But it was from something else. Something was causing the flood waters to boil and the waters turned brown. Not everywhere was flooded, but vast areas were. There were islands here and there that stood out of the flood waters. But parts of the areas were dry too. Great portions were languished and others were not. I felt that wherever the floods were, the waters were bad and had death and sickness in them. Then I saw some people walking on the waters. There were not many, but some were not affected by the flooding, and they moved about freely during the floods. They helped many during this time period. I saw a few small boats try and rescue some people, but not many boats came. I heard the sound of a door closing, like someone closing a door after they enter a house. Then the Lord nodded, and the angel closed his curtain.

My mind was racing trying to remember all that I had seen. I was trying to mentally file these curtains away within me as I knew they were important. The Lord reached out and touched my shoulder getting my attention. I looked and he nodded to the next angel. The angel nodded, and pulled back the folds of the curtain. I saw the heavenly skies. It was dark in space, and the stars were brilliantly lit. I watched and soon I saw a comet fly by. It was blue and it had a long glowing tail. I saw meteors and other space formations out in their distant places. I could see the farthest of stars. It was like I noticed them all, no matter how many there were. They were all distinct and important. I saw an explosion to my right, and one of the stars to my right just blew up. I don’t know why, and I could not see the cause of its disintegration. Its debris rained down everywhere from where I stood, but I could not see the earth from my view, so I could not tell the effect it had on our planet. I was not shown what happened, only that the star was now broken. I could feel shockwaves from its demise and felt the ripples as they moved through space. I don’t know how long this event took or how long it would take to go throughout the heavens. The Lord nodded, and this curtain went down too.

I saw four more curtains were left on the platform. I waited for the Lord to nod. He just stood there and watched me. The angels waited, and stood erect at attention. I could feel the anticipation in their beings. Suddenly, I felt like I was falling, and I tried to steady myself, but there was nothing to hold onto. It seemed like the whole floor that I was standing on was moving. I looked down and we were indeed moving. The floor was moving almost like a conveyor belt, yet we were motionless. How could that be? I steadied myself as best as I could.

I looked up, and the Lord nodded to the next angel and he opened his curtain. I could see mountains and many lands. There were some mountains rising up from the ground, and in other places I saw mountains being made to fall straight downwards. There was no sound as this happened. I did not hear anything, but that did not mean that there wasn’t any sound. I was not allowed to hear, I felt. I could feel that the ground was moving and the lands were changing. But I knew that it was also that time was changing. Time was accelerated and the earth was responding to the changes of time. Everything was out of timing and out of synchronization with the laws that held it together. What was balanced became unbalanced. What was out of order, now came into order. Some things blossomed in the accelerated time and even thrived. Things reversed and even exchanged places. I saw many areas grow in population and others grow sparse that were once overcrowded. Lands changed and even diversities were exchanged. It seemed the Lord was mixing up things and yet, clarifying things at the same time. I tried to comprehend the vast changes, and the blendings that were happening. The Lord just smiled. He motioned for the angel to drop his curtain.

I saw the Lord again nod, and the next angel raised his curtain. Behind it was a huge factory of sorts. It has many conveyor belts and assembly lines. There were multitudes of angels busily at work everywhere. There were crowns and scepters being fashioned on the machines. There were so many crowns that they seemed to flow fluidly down the belts, almost like liquid. They just seemed to pour through the machines as fast as it could make them. I saw this huge golden liquid coming from above and it poured down into the machines below and then the crowns came out of the other end of the belts and the waiting angels worked on them. Many angels were fashioning precious stones into them or other things which I could not tell what they were from my point of view. There were many polishing them, and some were carrying them to somewhere. The other belt has golden scepters coming out of the other machine. There were about 1½ to 2 feet long, I thought. They were very ornate and each one had unique carvings on them. The angels picked them up reverently and polished them carefully. They also were carried to somewhere out of my view. I could hear faint music in the background. I wondered who they were making these crowns and scepters for. The Lord said, “For the ones who will rule and reign with me in the earth of course.” I nodded. The angel then dropped his curtain at the Lord’s nod.

The Lord took me by the elbow and pointed me to the next curtain. He was very sober, yet His eyes were on fire. I looked and the next curtain had opened. We were looking at a very holy place. The walls were of bronze, or a dark gold color. The furniture was a dark wood and very heavy. There were golden bowls and bronze bowls and copper bowls all sitting on the tables. The golden bowls had coals burning in them. The bronze bowls had what looked like incense in them. The copper bowls had little scrolls in it. I could smell a very rich heady smell that was thick and overbearing. My nose began to burn and my eyes began to water. I could not see clear. The air seemed to get hazy and I felt like I fell asleep. I do not know how long I slept, or what I did. I faintly recalled hearing thunder and harps playing and angels singing. But I did not know if that was in my sleep or if I was awake. I was so heavy. I felt someone shaking me. It seemed like I was floating in eternity. I heard someone calling my name. I groggily shook myself awake and stood up. I had fallen asleep! I was shocked and mortified at the same time. The angel only smiled at me.

He said to me, “It’s time to go.” I thought, “Time to go?” Had we saw all of the curtains? I couldn’t remember.

I shook as I walked. It took sometime for me to get my bearings. I followed the angel for awhile and then he led me to a hallway. I walked down the hallway and came to a large door. I wondered why I could not remember a lot more of the events that I had seen. The Lord then said, “You are not meant to retain the full knowledge of the events at this time, but you are to take note of the time. Men seek to measure time by the events that take place in their lives and in the earth. Men tend to mark their calendars by the events and try to discern the future by their marks. But the wise already know the time, and thereby understand the events when they come. It is time for My people to be wise.”  I opened the door and I was out of the vision.

Daniel 2:21 He changes times and seasons; he removes kings and sets up kings; he gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to those who have understanding;

Acts 17:26 From one man he made all the nations, that they should inhabit the whole earth; and he marked out their appointed times in history and the boundaries of their lands.

1 Thessalonians 5: 1Now concerning the times and the seasons, brothers, you have no need to have anything written to you.

Daniel 11:33 And the wise among the people shall make many understand, though for some days they shall stumble by sword and flame, by captivity and plunder.

Daniel 12:10 Many shall purify themselves and make themselves white and be refined, but the wicked shall act wickedly. And none of the wicked shall understand, but those who are wise shall understand.

Hosea 14:9 Whoever is wise, let him understand these things; whoever is discerning, let him know them; for the ways of the LORD are right, and the upright walk in them, but transgressors stumble in them.

James 3:13 Who is wise and understanding among you? By his good conduct let him show his works in the meekness of wisdom.

Psalms 107:43 Whoso is wise, and will observe these things, even they shall understand the loving kindness of the LORD.

444 - Signs of Life in the Midst of Death

I could not sleep tonight. Went to bed at 3 am and tossed for a long time. So I finally got up, and the clock said 4:44 am. The Lord then led me to look up 444 in the Word:

I found a recurring theme in all of the passages below:

1/16/11 -  4:44 AM - Signs of Life in the Midst of Death

2 Kings 4:38 And Elisha came again to Gilgal when there was a famine in the land. And as the sons of the prophets were sitting before him, he said to his servant, "Set on the large pot, and boil stew for the sons of the prophets." 39 One of them went out into the field to gather herbs, and found a wild vine and gathered from it his lap full of wild gourds, and came and cut them up into the pot of stew, not knowing what they were. 40 And they poured out some for the men to eat. But while they were eating of the stew, they cried out, "O man of God, there is death in the pot!" And they could not eat it. 41 He said, "Then bring flour." And he threw it into the pot and said, "Pour some out for the men, that they may eat." And there was no harm in the pot. 42 A man came from Baal-shalishah, bringing the man of God bread of the first fruits, twenty loaves of barley and fresh ears of grain in his sack. And Elisha said, "Give to the men, that they may eat." 43 But his servant said, "How can I set this before a hundred men?" So he repeated, "Give them to the men, that they may eat, for thus says the LORD, 'They shall eat and have some left.'" 44 So he set it before them. And they ate and had some left, according to the word of the LORD.

2 Kings 2:21 Then he went to the spring of water and threw salt in it and said, "Thus says the LORD, I have healed this water; from now on neither death nor miscarriage shall come from it."

Exodus 15:25 And he cried to the LORD, and the LORD showed him a log, and he threw it into the water, and the water became sweet.

Psalms 44:1 O God, we have heard with our ears, our fathers have told us, what deeds you performed in their days, in the days of old: 2 you with your own hand drove out the nations, but them you planted; you afflicted the peoples, but them you set free; 3 for not by their own sword did they win the land, nor did their own arm save them, but your right hand and your arm, and the light of your face, for you delighted in them. 4 You are my King, O God; ordain salvation for Jacob!

Psalms 74:12 Yet God my King is from of old, working salvation in the midst of the earth.

Isaiah 4:1 And seven women shall take hold of one man in that day, saying, "We will eat our own bread and wear our own clothes, only let us be called by your name; take away our reproach."  2 In that day the branch of the LORD shall be beautiful and glorious, and the fruit of the land shall be the pride and honor of the survivors of Israel. 3 And he who is left in Zion and remains in Jerusalem will be called holy, everyone who has been recorded for life in Jerusalem, 4 when the Lord shall have washed away the filth of the daughters of Zion and cleansed the bloodstains of Jerusalem from its midst by a spirit of judgment and by a spirit of burning. 5 Then the LORD will create over the whole site of Mount Zion and over her assemblies a cloud by day, and smoke and the shining of a flaming fire by night; for over all the glory there will be a canopy. 6 There will be a booth for shade by day from the heat, and for a refuge and a shelter from the storm and rain.

Isaiah 44:1"But now hear, O Jacob my servant, Israel whom I have chosen! 2Thus says the LORD who made you, who formed you from the womb and will help you: Fear not, O Jacob my servant, Jeshurun whom I have chosen. 3 For I will pour water on the thirsty land, and streams on the dry ground; I will pour my Spirit upon your offspring, and my blessing on your descendants. 4They shall spring up among the grass like willows by flowing streams. 5 This one will say, 'I am the LORD’s,' another will call on the name of Jacob, and another will write on his hand, 'The LORD’s,' and name himself by the name of Israel."

444:  Esther, Book Of:  (Smith’s Bible Names Dictionary)

One of the latest of the canonical books of Scripture, having been written late in the reign of Xerxes, or early in that of his son Artaxerxes Longimanus (B.C. 444, 434). The author is not known. The book of Esther is placed among the hagiographa by the Jews, and in that first portion of them which they call "the five rolls." It is written on a single roll, sin a dramatic style, and is read through by the Jews in their synagogues at the feast of Purim, when it is said that the names of Haman's sons are read rapidly all in one breath, to signify that they were all hanged at the same time; while at every mention of Haman the audience stamp and shout and hiss, and the children spring rattles. It has often been remarked as a peculiarity of this book that the name of God does not once occur in it. Schaff gives as the reason for this that it was to permit the reading of the book at the hilarious and noisy festival of Purim, without irreverence. The style of writing is remarkably chaste and simple. It does not in the least savor of romance. The Hebrew is very like that of Ezra and parts of the Chronicles; generally pure, but mixed with some words of Persian origin and some of the Chaldaic affinity. In short it is just what one would expect to find in a work of the age to which the book of Esther professes to belong.

The Picnic and the Grape Vision

The Picnic and the Grape Vision

On 1/15/11, I saw a vision of a picnic early in the day.

I saw a blanket spread out ahead of me in a very nice wooded area. There were lots of bushes, and trees, and birds and lush plants. It looked like summer. The day was sunny and warm. The air was light and energizing. I could smell and feel everything while watching the vision.

I saw Debra, my friend in the natural, sitting on the blanket in the vision. Opposite her was Jesus, and He was kneeling over a picnic basket. He was reaching into the basket and He was taking various things out of the basket for their picnic. He took out some bread and laid it on the blanket. He then took out a bottle of wine. He pauses for a minute, then He reached in to get something else, and I heard Debra ask the Lord, “Jesus, are we going to drink the wine?” He said to her, “No. I have something better.” He smiles at her and then He pulls out a single grape. One grape. He looks at her holding out the grape. Debra says to Jesus, “Is that one grape enough for us both to drink?” The Lord then looked at her and said, “One grape in My Kingdom is enough to satisfy all of your thirst.” Then the vision ended.

I had this same vision again tonight at the meeting at church. Twice on the same day signifies something being established by God to you.

After some thought, I searched the scriptures regarding grapes and drinking with Jesus in His Kingdom:

Matthew 26:29 I tell you I will not drink again of this fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father’s kingdom."

Drinking it new. The old was passing away. Jesus came to fulfill the old, abolish the old, and birth the new. He came to bring the New Covenant to men. He also will drink it with men, men that walk in true covenant with Him in the earth.

Matthew 13:43 Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He who has ears, let him hear.

Luke 12:32 "Fear not, little flock, for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom.

Luke 17:21 Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.

Men have always looked for an outward kingdom. They wanted Jesus to be their King. They didn’t want Him to be their Lord, within them. They rejected Him. The Church must want Him as Lord within, and also without. The Kingdom is birthed in our spirits at salvation, then it moves outwards throughout our souls, and finally into our flesh, to eventually rule and reign within us, and then to change our world.

Revelations 1:6 and made us a kingdom, priests to his God and Father, to him be glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen.

Revelations 5:10 and you have made them a kingdom and priests to our God, and they shall reign on the earth."

1 Peter 2:9 But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light.

Matthew 4:23 And he went throughout all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues and proclaiming the gospel of the kingdom and healing every disease and every affliction among the people.

Matthew 13:19 When anyone hears the word of the kingdom and does not understand it, the evil one comes and snatches away what has been sown in his heart. This is what was sown along the path. 38 The field is the world, and the good seed is the sons of the kingdom. The weeds are the sons of the evil one,

Luke 17:20 Being asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, he answered them, "The kingdom of God is not coming with signs to be observed, 21nor will they say, 'Look, here it is!' or 'There!' for behold, the kingdom of God is in the midst of you." 22And he said to the disciples, "The days are coming when you will desire to see one of the days of the Son of Man, and you will not see it. 23 And they will say to you, 'Look, there!' or 'Look, here!' Do not go out or follow them. 24 For as the lightning flashes and lights up the sky from one side to the other, so will the Son of Man be in his day.

Again, look at: Matthew 13:43 Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He who has ears, let him hear.

Its fullness was not destined for the disciples day before the cross, that is why they did not see it then. The Cross had to come, then on Pentecost, the Kingdom reality came within them and they began to manifest the Kingdom and preach the gospel of the Kingdom. But Jesus was speaking of a day afar off when there would be a church in the last days, which would manifest fully the kingdom the way He had ordained it in their generation as a witness in the end. The Light of God would shine on them in the earth.

Mark 14:25 Truly, I say to you, I will not drink again of the fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it new in the kingdom of God."

Again, Jesus speaks of drinking it new with us, when the Kingdom of God that is within us, is to now more fully come out of us. We will shine like Him, we will radiate Him, in this new day. We will manifest the Kingdom and preach the gospel of the kingdom.

Luke 22:18 For I tell you that from now on I will not drink of the fruit of the vine until the kingdom of God comes."

He is coming to drink it new with us, because it is time for the Kingdom of God to be demonstrated through the church in the earth.

Luke 22:14 And when the hour came, he reclined at table, and the apostles with him. 15 And he said to them, "I have earnestly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer. 16 For I tell you I will not eat it until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of God." 17 And he took a cup, and when he had given thanks he said, "Take this, and divide it among yourselves. 18 For I tell you that from now on I will not drink of the fruit of the vine until the kingdom of God comes."

Revelations 3:20 Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup (eat) with him, and he with me.

Romans 8:9 You, however, are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if in fact the Spirit of God dwells in you. Anyone who does not have the Spirit of Christ does not belong to him.

John 14:20 In that day you will know that I am in my Father, and you in me, and I in you. 21 Whoever has my commandments and keeps them, he it is who loves me. And he who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him and manifest myself to him." 22 Judas (not Iscariot) said to him, "Lord, how is it that you will manifest yourself to us, and not to the world?" 23 Jesus answered him, "If anyone loves me, he will keep my word, and my Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him.

John 17:21 that they may all be one, just as you, Father, are in me, and I in you, that they also may be in us, so that the world may believe that you have sent me. 23 I in them and you in me, that they may become perfectly one, so that the world may know that you sent me and loved them even as you loved me. 26 I made known to them your name, and I will continue to make it known, that the love with which you have loved me may be in them, and I in them.

The Picnic: The Rest of God:

2 Corinthians 6:16 What agreement has the temple of God with idols? For we are the temple of the living God; as God said, "I will make my dwelling among them and walk among them, and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.”

1 John 2:24 Let what you heard from the beginning abide in you. If what you heard from the beginning abides in you, then you too will abide in the Son and in the Father.

Hebrews 4:1 THEREFORE, WHILE the promise of entering His rest still holds and is offered [today], let us be afraid [to distrust it], lest any of you should think he has come too late and has come short of [reaching] it. 2 For indeed we have had the glad tidings [Gospel of God] proclaimed to us just as truly as they [the Israelites of old did when the good news of deliverance from bondage came to them]; but the message they heard did not benefit them, because it was not mixed with faith (with the leaning of the entire personality on God in absolute trust and confidence in His power, wisdom, and goodness) by those who heard it; neither were they united in faith with the ones [Joshua and Caleb] who heard (did believe). 3For we who have believed (adhered to and trusted in and relied on God) do enter that rest, in accordance with His declaration that those [who did not believe] should not enter when He said, As I swore in My wrath, They shall not enter My rest; and this He said although [His] works had been completed and prepared [and waiting for all who would believe] from the foundation of the world.

Romans 4:19 He (Abraham) did not weaken in faith when he considered his own body, which was as good as dead (since he was about a hundred years old), or when he considered the barrenness of Sarah’s womb. 20 No distrust made him waver concerning the promise of God, but he grew strong in his faith as he gave glory to God, 21 fully convinced that God was able to do what he had promised.

The Grapes:

Matthew 9: 6No one puts a piece of unshrunk cloth on an old garment, for the patch tears away from the garment, and a worse tear is made. 17Neither is new wine put into old wineskins. If it is, the skins burst and the wine is spilled and the skins are destroyed. But new wine is put into fresh wineskins, and so both are preserved."

Mark 2:22 And no one puts new wine into old wineskins. If he does, the wine will burst the skins—and the wine is destroyed, and so are the skins. But new wine is for fresh wineskins."

Luke 5:37 And no one puts new wine into old wineskins. If he does, the new wine will burst the skins and it will be spilled, and the skins will be destroyed. 38 But new wine must be put into fresh wineskins.

Job 32:18 For I am full of words; the spirit within me constrains me. 19 Behold, my belly is like wine that has no vent; like new wineskins ready to burst. 20 I must speak, that I may find relief; I must open my lips and answer.

Jeremiah 20:9 Then I said, I will not make mention of him, nor speak any more in his name. But his word was in mine heart as a burning fire shut up in my bones, and I was weary with forbearing, and I could not stay.

Isaiah 65:8 Thus says the LORD: "As the new wine is found in the cluster, and they say, 'Do not destroy it, for there is a blessing in it,' so I will do for my servants’ sake, and not destroy them all. 9 I will bring forth offspring from Jacob, and from Judah possessors of my mountains; my chosen shall possess it.

The Tree, the Cross, and the 3 Golden Coins: More Understanding

01-07-11

Today, the Lord revealed more on the vision of the tree, the cross, and the 3 coins.

As Patrick was preaching the message at church tonight, I was following along in the word, and saw this in the scriptures:

Psalms 92:¹⁰But you have exalted my^(O) horn like that of^(P) the wild ox; you have^(Q) poured over me^[a] fresh oil. 11My^R) eyes have seen the downfall of my enemies; my ears have heard the doom of my evil assailants. ^12(S) The righteous flourish like the palm tree and grow like a cedar in Lebanon. ¹³They are planted in the house of the LORD; they flourish in^(T) the courts of our God. ¹⁴They still bear fruit in old age; they are ever full of sap and green, ^15(U) to declare that the LORD is upright; he is my^(V) rock, and there is^(W) no unrighteousness in him.

Psalms 104:¹⁵And wine that gladdens the heart of man, to make his face shine more than oil, and bread to support, refresh, and strengthen man's heart.  ¹⁶The trees of the Lord are watered abundantly and are filled with sap, the cedars of Lebanon which He has planted,


The People of the Lord are entering a Season of Fresh Oil in their lives, just like the Revelations 10 reference the Lord keeps giving to us about a time of fresh prophecy being given to us for the nations and peoples of those around us.

¹¹Then they said to me, You are to make a fresh prophecy (fresh oil) concerning many peoples and races and nations and languages and kings.

We are flourishing in His House, we shall be like Him.......as the Tree full of sap.


Psalms 1:³ He is like^(A) a tree  planted by^(B) streams of water that yields its fruit in its season, and its^(C) leaf does not wither. ^(D) In all that he does, he prospers.

Psalms 52:8 But I am like^(A) a green olive tree in the house of God. I trust in the steadfast love of God forever and ever.

Proverbs 11:28 Whoever^(A) trusts in his riches will fall, but the righteous will^(B) flourish like a green leaf.

Hosea 14:5  I will be like the dew to Israel; ^(B) he shall blossom like the lily; he shall take root like the trees^(C) of Lebanon; ⁶his shoots shall spread out; his beauty shall be^(D) like the olive, and his fragrance like Lebanon. ⁷They shall return and^(E) dwell beneath my^[a] shadow; they shall flourish like the grain; they shall blossom like the vine; their fame shall be like the wine of Lebanon. ⁸O^(F) Ephraim, what have I to do with idols? It is I who answer and look after you.^[b]   I am like an ress; ^(G) from me comes your fruit.


We shall yield more fruit.........be full of His sap........and release fresh oil.

More ponderings to come...........

The Tree, the Cross, and the 3 Golden Coins

The Tree, the Cross, and the 3 Gold Coins

I laid down in the afternoon for a nap and had just about fallen asleep when I dreamed of my being in a field of sorts with a clearing in front of me. I saw people were foraging around through the plants and bushes looking for food. I watched them as they harvested what they could find, and I turned and looked at the edge of the clearing and saw some trees. I thought that I would go and look at the trees to see if there was food there for the people.

I walked over to a very large and full tree. Its branches were thick and the tree was full of leaves. I looked at the trunk and I saw that there was something coming out of the bark of the tree, and it was squeezing through the gaps of the bark to the surface and was beginning to run in a thin stream down the trunk. I reached up and put my finger into the sap. It was thick and golden, like amber, and it was warm. I tasted it and it was sweet. I thought that I should go and tell the people about this tree, when I looked up into the branches of the tree, and all of a sudden I saw the Cross in the tree. Then as I looked, I saw right through the Cross into heaven.

Suddenly I was standing among a group of people. We were standing off to the side of a huge palace foyer. The palace was spacious, and made of stone. It was very beautiful, yet simple in it’s furnishings and design. I saw a man standing over by the throne and he turned and it was a man with a short beard, and brown eyes, with shoulder length hair, and he was dressed like a king. He was the king of this palace. I suddenly knew this was the Lord. But this king was a younger king, and his crown was very distinctive, but simple too. It was beautiful, yet it did not take away from him and his features. He wore a white garment, with a red outer robe that had black scroll works woven into the fabric. The edges had gold fringes, and it fell to his ankles.

The king turned and looked all around. He called out, “Where are my runners?” All of a sudden we were all ushered over to where the king stood. He smiled at us all and motioned for us to each approach him. He then began to hand out a small bag to us. When it came to my turn, I stepped forwards and he paused and looked into my eyes. His face was one of amusement, joy and seriousness all at once. He then placed a small brown bag into my hand. He nodded at me and I reached down and opened it. Inside the bag were three golden coins. I took them and put them each, one by one, in my mouth and ate them. I then woke up. I wondered why I ate the coins.

·         I told the dream to Patrick and he felt it also goes along with the recurring theme also of the Lord preparing us all to move forth in these coming times and we are to speak his words to the people that he leads us to. The runners of the Lord are his messengers. But he also felt that our provision will come from the Lord and not from the normal means that men seek after for provision. Our bread is every word that proceeds from his mouth and to do his will. He will provide for us by supernatural means.

Tree/Cross:

Acts 5:3 The God of our fathers raised Jesus, whom you killed by hanging him on a tree.

Acts 10:39 And we are witnesses of all that he did both in the country of the Jews and in Jerusalem. They put him to death by hanging him on a tree,

Galatians 3:13 Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us—for it is written, "Cursed is everyone who is hanged on a tree"—

Runners:

1 Corinthians 9:23 And I do this for the sake of the good news (the Gospel), in order that I may become a participator in it and share in its [blessings along with you]. 24 Do you not know that in a race all the runners compete, but [only] one receives the prize? So run [your race] that you may lay hold [of the prize] and make it yours. 25 Now every athlete who goes into training conducts himself temperately and restricts himself in all things. They do it to win a wreath that will soon wither, but we [do it to receive a crown of eternal blessedness] that cannot wither.

Three Gold Coins:

Job 42:11 Then came to him all his brothers and sisters and all who had known him before, and ate bread with him in his house. And they showed him sympathy and comforted him for all the evil that the LORD had brought upon him. And each of them gave him a piece of money and a ring of gold.

Psalms 119:71 It is good for me that I was afflicted, that I might learn your statutes. 72 The law of your mouth is better to me than thousands of gold and silver pieces.

Coin:

Before the Exile the Jews had no regularly stamped money. They made use of uncoined shekels or talents of silver, which they weighed out (Gen. 23:16; Ex. 38:24; 2 Sam. 18:12). Probably the silver ingots used in the time of Abraham may have been of a fixed weight, which was in some way indicated on them. The "pieces of silver" paid by Abimelech to Abraham (Gen. 20:16), and those also for which Joseph was sold (37:28), were proably in the form of rings. The shekel was the common standard of weight and value among the Hebrews down to the time of the Captivity. Only once is a shekel of gold mentioned (1 Chr. 21:25). The "six thousand of gold" mentioned in the transaction between Naaman and Gehazi (2 Kings 5:5) were probably so many shekels of gold. The "piece of money" mentioned in Job 42:11; Gen. 33:19 (marg., "lambs") was the Hebrew _kesitah_, probably an uncoined piece of silver of a certain weight in the form of a sheep or lamb, or perhaps having on it such an impression. The same Hebrew word is used in Josh. 24:32, which is rendered by Wickliffe "an hundred yonge scheep."

Money:

Of uncoined money the first notice we have is in the history of Abraham (Gen. 13:2; 20:16; 24:35). Next, this word is used in connection with the purchase of the cave of Machpelah (23:16), and again in connection with Jacob's purchase of a field at Shalem (Gen. 33:18, 19) for "an hundred pieces of money"=an hundred Hebrew kesitahs (q.v.), i.e., probably pieces of money, as is supposed, bearing the figure of a lamb.

The history of Joseph affords evidence of the constant use of money, silver of a fixed weight. This appears also in all the subsequent history of the Jewish people, in all their internal as well as foreign transactions. There were in common use in trade silver pieces of a definite weight, shekels, half-shekels, and quarter-shekels. But these were not properly coins, which are pieces of metal authoritatively issued, and bearing a stamp.

Of the use of coined money we have no early notice among the Hebrews. The first mentioned is of Persian coinage, the daric (Ezra 2:69; Neh. 7:70) and the 'adarkon (Ezra 8:27). The daric (q.v.) was a gold piece current in Palestine in the time of Cyrus. As long as the Jews, after the Exile, lived under Persian rule, they used Persian coins. These gave place to Greek coins when Palestine came under the dominion of the Greeks (B.C. 331), the coins consisting of gold, silver, and copper pieces. The usual gold pieces were staters (q.v.), and the silver coins tetradrachms and drachms.

In the year B.C. 140, Antiochus VII. gave permission to Simon the Maccabee to coin Jewish money. Shekels (q.v.) were then coined bearing the figure of the almond rod and the pot of manna.

Runner:

2 Kings 5:5 And the king of Syria said, "Go now, and I will send a letter to the king of Israel." So he went, taking with him ten talents of silver, six thousand shekels of gold, and ten changes of clothing.

Context:

2 Kings 5

1 Naaman, commander of the army of the king of Syria, was a great man with his master and in high favor, because by him the LORD had given victory to Syria. He was a mighty man of valor, but he was a leper. 2Now the Syrians on one of their raids had carried off a little girl from the land of Israel, and she worked in the service of Naaman’s wife. 3She said to her mistress, "Would that my lord were with the prophet who is in Samaria! He would cure him of his leprosy." 4So Naaman went in and told his lord, "Thus and so spoke the girl from the land of Israel." 5And the king of Syria said, "Go now, and I will send a letter to the king of Israel." So he went, taking with him ten talents of silver, six thousand shekels of gold, and ten changes of clothing. 6And he brought the letter to the king of Israel, which read, "When this letter reaches you, know that I have sent to you Naaman my servant, that you may cure him of his leprosy." 7And when the king of Israel read the letter, he tore his clothes and said, "Am I God, to kill and to make alive, that this man sends word to me to cure a man of his leprosy? Only consider, and see how he is seeking a quarrel with me." 8But when Elisha the man of God heard that the king of Israel had torn his clothes, he sent to the king, saying, "Why have you torn your clothes? Let him come now to me, that he may know that there is a prophet in Israel." 9So Naaman came with his horses and chariots and stood at the door of Elisha’s house. 10And Elisha sent a messenger to him, saying, "Go and wash in the Jordan seven times, and your flesh shall be restored, and you shall be clean." 11But Naaman was angry and went away, saying, "Behold, I thought that he would surely come out to me and stand and call upon the name of the LORD his God, and wave his hand over the place and cure the leper. 12Are not Abana and Pharpar, the rivers of Damascus, better than all the waters of Israel? Could I not wash in them and be clean?" So he turned and went away in a rage. 13But his servants came near and said to him, "My father, it is a great word the prophet has spoken to you; will you not do it? Has he actually said to you, 'Wash, and be clean'?" 14So he went down and dipped himself seven times in the Jordan, according to the word of the man of God, and his flesh was restored like the flesh of a little child, and he was clean. 15Then he returned to the man of God, he and all his company, and he came and stood before him. And he said, "Behold, I know that there is no God in all the earth but in Israel; so accept now a present from your servant." 16But he said, "As the LORD lives, before whom I stand, I will receive none." And he urged him to take it, but he refused. 17Then Naaman said, "If not, please let there be given to your servant two mules’ load of earth, for from now on your servant will not offer burnt offering or sacrifice to any god but the LORD. 18In this matter may the LORD pardon your servant: when my master goes into the house of Rimmon to worship there, leaning on my arm, and I bow myself in the house of Rimmon, when I bow myself in the house of Rimmon, the LORD pardon your servant in this matter." 19He said to him, "Go in peace." But when Naaman had gone from him a short distance, 20 Gehazi, the servant of Elisha the man of God, said, "See, my master has spared this Naaman the Syrian, in not accepting from his hand what he brought. As the LORD lives, I will run after him and get something from him." 21So Gehazi followed Naaman. And when Naaman saw someone running after him, he got down from the chariot to meet him and said, "Is all well?" 22And he said, "All is well. My master has sent me to say, 'There have just now come to me from the hill country of Ephraim two young men of the sons of the prophets. Please give them a talent of silver and two changes of clothing.'" 23And Naaman said, "Be pleased to accept two talents." And he urged him and tied up two talents of silver in two bags, with two changes of clothing, and laid them on two of his servants. And they carried them before Gehazi. 24And when he came to the hill, he took them from their hand and put them in the house, and he sent the men away, and they departed. 25He went in and stood before his master, and Elisha said to him, "Where have you been, Gehazi?" And he said, "Your servant went nowhere." 26But he said to him, "Did not my heart go when the man turned from his chariot to meet you? Was it a time to accept money and garments, olive orchards and vineyards, sheep and oxen, male servants and female servants? 27Therefore the leprosy of Naaman shall cling to you and to your descendants forever." So he went out from his presence a leper, like snow.

·         Gehazi was a runner/servant for Elisha and in his greed, he asked Naaman for things, but note that he never asked for the gold coins, only the clothes and the silver. The Gold Shekel is holy.

Gold Daric:

Ezra 2:68 Some of the heads of families, when they came to the house of the LORD that is in Jerusalem, made freewill offerings for the house of God, to erect it on its site. 69 According to their ability they gave to the treasury of the work 61,000 darics of gold, 5,000 minas of silver, and 100 priests’ garments.

Nehemiah 7:70 Now some of the heads of fathers’ houses gave to the work. The governor gave to the treasury 1,000 darics of gold, 50 basins, 30 priests’ garments and 500 minas of silver.

Ezra 8:28 And I said to them, "You are holy to the LORD, and the vessels are holy, and the silver and the gold are a freewill offering to the LORD, the God of your fathers.

Standing Steadfast In The Fires Of God

I laid down that night to go to sleep and the scripture came into my mind, James 1:4. I thought about it, but was too tired to get up and look it up. About an hour and a half later, I woke up. I then remembered the verse, so I went and looked it up…

James 1:4 And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.

AMP -4 But let endurance and steadfastness and patience have full play and do a thorough work, so that you may be [people] perfectly and fully developed [with no defects], lacking in nothing.

TM - 2-4 Consider it a sheer gift, friends, when tests and challenges come at you from all sides. You know that under pressure, your faith-life is forced into the open and shows its true colors. So don't try to get out of anything prematurely. Let it do its work so you become mature and well-developed, not deficient in any way.

1 Thessalonians 5:23 Now may the God of peace himself sanctify you completely, and may your whole spirit and soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

John 15:3 Already you are clean because of the word that I have spoken to you.

John 17:17 Sanctify them in the truth; your word is truth.

·         Greek Set them apart (for holy service to God).

1 Peter 1:22 Having purified your souls by your obedience to the truth for a sincere brotherly love, love one another earnestly from a pure heart,

2 Thessalonians 2:13 But we ought always to give thanks to God for you, brothers beloved by the Lord, because God chose you as the first fruits to be saved, through sanctification by the Spirit and belief in the truth.

·         Some manuscripts chose you from the beginning

James 1:18 AMP -And it was of His own [free] will that He gave us birth [as sons] by [His] Word of Truth, so that we should be a kind of first fruits of His creatures [a sample of what He created to be consecrated to Himself].

James 1:1 JAMES, A servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes scattered abroad [among the Gentiles in the dispersion]: Greetings (rejoice)! 2 Consider it wholly joyful, my brethren, whenever you are enveloped in or encounter trials of any sort or fall into various temptations. 3 Be assured and understand that the trial and proving of your faith bring out endurance and steadfastness and patience. 4 But let endurance and steadfastness and patience have full play and do a thorough work, so that you may be [people] perfectly and fully developed [with no defects], lacking in nothing. 5 If any of you is deficient in wisdom, let him ask of the giving God [Who gives] to everyone liberally and ungrudgingly, without reproaching or faultfinding, and it will be given him. 6 Only it must be in faith that he asks with no wavering (no hesitating, no doubting).

We are the First fruits of the Lord in this hour, emerging purified, tried, and prepared for His work. We are also Holy unto Him and are separated unto His Service, just like the Golden Coins for His House.

Ezra 8:28 And I said to them, "You are holy to the LORD, and the vessels are holy, and the silver and the gold are a freewill offering to the LORD, the God of your fathers.

The Cloudy Garment

Today, as we were driving to the Healing Rooms to minister to those who needed prayer for healing, I saw a vision. While we were in the car, I saw a cloud in the spirit come near and hover right in front of me. It then changed it's shape and took on the form of a garment. Then it came upon me and went into my being. I could feel it like a garment on me. It was thick, but light. It felt like a mist. It was living. i could feel the life flowing in it, through me. The Presence of God was strong.

Later, I told Pat of the experience. He reminded me that it was like the Angel of the Lord who was clothed in the cloud in Revelations 10:1. The Lord keeps telling us in many different ways, that we are living in the fulfillment of this verse in our lives. God is calling us to eat His Book, and the Climb our scrolls, and to be clothed as He is clothed, and to walk as He walks, while we live it out in the earth.

It is time for a fresh word of Prophecy to come from the mouths of God's People in this hour. A Word they will get from Gods mouth, and then they will go and feed the peoples.

Show us more Lord!!

Revelations 10:
¹THEN I saw another mighty angel coming down from heaven, robed in a cloud, with a [halo like a] rainbow over his head; his face was like the sun, and his feet (legs) were like columns of fire.
    ²He had a little book (scroll) open in his hand. He set his right foot on the sea and his left foot on the land,
    ³And he shouted with a loud voice like the roaring of a lion; and when he had shouted, the seven thunders gave voice and uttered their message in distinct words.
    ⁴And when the seven thunders had spoken (sounded), I was going to write [it down], but I heard a voice from heaven saying, Seal up what the seven thunders have said! Do not write it down!
    ⁵Then the [mighty] angel whom I had seen stationed on sea and land raised his right hand to heaven (the sky),
    ⁶And swore in the name of (by) Him Who lives forever and ever, Who created the heavens (sky) and all they contain, and the earth and all that it contains, and the sea and all that it contains. [He swore] that no more time should intervene and there should be no more waiting or delay,
    ⁷But that when the days come when the trumpet call of the seventh angel is about to be sounded, then God's mystery (His secret design, His hidden purpose), as He had announced the glad tidings to His servants the prophets, should be fulfilled (accomplished, completed).
    ⁸Then the voice that I heard from heaven spoke again to me, saying, Go and take the little book (scroll) which is open on the hand of the angel who is standing on the sea and on the land.
    ⁹So I went up to the angel and asked him to give me the little book. And he said to me, Take it and eat it. It will embitter your stomach, though in your mouth it will be as sweet as honey.
    ¹⁰So I took the little book from the angel's hand and ate and swallowed it; it was as sweet as honey in my mouth, but once I had swallowed it, my stomach was embittered.
    ¹¹Then they said to me, You are to make a fresh prophecy concerning many peoples and races and nations and languages and kings.

The Unrolling Scrolls Descending From Above

The Unrolling Scrolls Descending From Above

In the recurring vision, I saw a multitude of unrolling scrolls falling slowly from the heavens to the earth. Kind of like a roll of paper towels would descend if you held it up by its core and let it unroll to the floor. The scrolls were now unrolled partially and were hovering in the sky just above people on the earth. I saw many on the earth look up and see the scrolls and they reached up towards them. Some grabbed a hold of the scrolls and tried to climb up them. I don’t know how many there were that did this, and I don’t know how many scrolls there were, but it was a global event. I saw the people grip the scrolls and determinedly slowly try to ascend them. As they did this, I saw that others on the earth around them began to pull at them, trying to stop them from climbing up the scrolls. Some of the people even yelled at them. Some of the scared people mocked them. Some angrily hit them. Some even threatened them and persecuted them as they climbed. I even saw families coming against one of the family members who would reach up to a scroll. I was surprised that those on the earth would not want the people to get the scrolls or to climb up them. There were some that fell back to the earth because of the resistance of those pulling on them who were opposing their climb. I saw that some of those who fell down did try to climb up again, and many eventually succeeded after a few tries, and some others did not try again.

Then a tumult from the arrival of the descending scrolls was erupting everywhere. The tumult did not seem to be just because of the event itself, but it was actually more from the emanating power of the scrolls that descended. The power disrupted the people’s life down on the earth, and it caused a very great shaking. I also noticed there were now demon armies forming everywhere and they were trying to shoot at the unfolding scrolls. I don’t know where they came from, as my attention was on the people, but there were now more demon armies gathering here and there upon the earth that did not want the scrolls to descend or the people to climb up them either. They were angry and hostile towards the whole event. As the demon armies began to increase their assaults upon the scrolls, I saw multitudes of the people on the earth then run towards the scrolls also trying to reach up to them, but they could not. It seemed like their hands could not grasp the scroll, but only slid off of it. There were demons running around highly agitated in the midst of the armies. They were very angry at the coming of the scrolls. They were greatly agitated at everything and even fought each other. Chaos erupted here and there in their ranks. Their anger grew into a frenzy as they tried to stop the people but couldn’t. They turned their anger on the people that could not climb and fought against them too.

As I watched, I saw more even climb the scrolls ahead of me and as they each got to a certain point up the scrolls, the scrolls themselves turned into a bright white light and opened up like a door, and the people went into the door of the scroll. This happened over and over above the earth, as each one that climbed their scroll got to a certain point, they also did the same thing, till all of the scrolls that had descended were climbed up. When the last one was climbed and the person had entered the white light, the doors of light closed. The scrolls did not leave, but remained just above the earth shining. There was a silence as the people on the earth below and the opposing demon armies watched the white lights. When nothing happened for awhile the demon armies slowly relaxed and they camped under the scrolls. Then another wave of great upheaval arose from the midst of the army camps arrayed against them. They tried shooting at the scrolls again to no avail, then they would settle down again and watch them glaringly, waiting.

Suddenly, I saw the heavenly scrolls white doors open up all at once, and all of the people that had entered into their scrolls now emerged from the white light. They were also shining with the same pure white light and they each had a smaller scroll in their hands. They climbed down their larger scrolls and then they began to walk on the earth below with their little scrolls. The demon armies fled as they saw this happening, and the people that had previously attacked them fled also. The descending people then began to go all over the earth preaching from their little scrolls wherever they went. Wherever the people went, you could see light. They began to light up entire cities on the earth. They began to light up whole areas on the earth. Soon there were many areas of light shining on the earth. As the light began to slowly spread on the earth, the earth shook violently in many places and many volcanoes erupted, and many landscapes changed, and many wars broke out. Great change had come to the earth. Great light had come to the earth. The vision ended.

Revelations 10:

1THEN I saw another mighty angel coming down from heaven, robed in a cloud, with a [halo like a] rainbow over his head; his face was like the sun, and his feet (legs) were like columns of fire. 2He had a little book (scroll) open in his hand. He set his right foot on the sea and his left foot on the land, 3And he shouted with a loud voice like the roaring of a lion; and when he had shouted, the seven thunders gave voice and uttered their message in distinct words. 4And when the seven thunders had spoken (sounded), I was going to write [it down], but I heard a voice from heaven saying, Seal up what the seven thunders have said! Do not write it down! 5Then the [mighty] angel whom I had seen stationed on sea and land raised his right hand to heaven (the sky), 6And swore in the name of (by) Him Who lives forever and ever, Who created the heavens (sky) and all they contain, and the earth and all that it contains, and the sea and all that it contains. [He swore] that no more time should intervene and there should be no more waiting or delay, 7But that when the days come when the trumpet call of the seventh angel is about to be sounded, then God's mystery (His secret design, His hidden purpose), as He had announced the glad tidings to His servants the prophets, should be fulfilled (accomplished, completed). 8Then the voice that I heard from heaven spoke again to me, saying, Go and take the little book (scroll) which is open on the hand of the angel who is standing on the sea and on the land. 9So I went up to the angel and asked him to give me the little book. And he said to me, Take it and eat it. It will embitter your stomach, though in your mouth it will be as sweet as honey.10So I took the little book from the angel's hand and ate and swallowed it; it was as sweet as honey in my mouth, but once I had swallowed it, my stomach was embittered. 11Then they said to me, You are to make a fresh prophecy concerning many peoples and races and nations and languages and kings.

2011 Thoughts and Insights

2011: The Converging and Merging of the Purposes of Men and of Heaven:

The Lord has caused many of us to wait and not to release many words for a season, as He has wanted us to stop and to listen more and to spend more time with Him. There is so much running in the Body, and the Father wants us to come to Him and to glean from Him all that He has for us while we have the time to do it. Timing is everything. If we miss this timing, we will miss our purposes. We must let go of many things, and let the Lord give us new understandings. I want to share some things the Lord has previously given to me for the season we are currently in, but also for the year ahead.  -Susan

THE SANDS OF TIME

I saw a place in the heavenlies that I had not been to before. It was vast, an area that was between eternity and time. Like an entrance point between the two junctures. Within this place, there were many angels working and moving about in their duties from the Lord. One angel was standing by a vast conduit or mechanism. I looked more closely and it looked something like a great hopper of sorts that was receiving grain or sand that was falling from the heavens above it. It would fall into the hopper or catchment, and the angel would watch it’s progress and nod and write in his book what was going into the hopper.

I was fascinated by the size of the hopper, or whatever it was, I did not know. I decided to go closer and to look inside the hopper to see if this was actually what it was. I approached, and the angel watched me as I drew near. I stepped up the steps that led to the top and climbed them. I saw that it was a vast catchment or some sort and it was indeed catching the sand that fell from heaven. I looked up and I did not see where it came from as there was no roof, and no pipes, and no thing to indicate something was pouring down from a source. Instead it seemed like it was just being created above or manifesting from above from eternity somewhere and it fell into the angel’s catchment.

I looked down again and saw that there was not a lot of sand in the hopper bottom. It looked like maybe a few inches, or so. It was hard to tell, but this vast hopper could hold all of the sand of the earth in it, I thought. So, I continued to watch as the granules fell below into the lower heavens towards the earth. Where they went, I do not know. I looked at the angel to ask him how much time was left. The angel watched me, raised one eyebrow, and smiled. He said to me, “You do not have a lot of time, but you have been given your allotted time.” Then, the vision was over.

The Lord then began to speak to me about this vision:

Eternal time and natural time are not the same, as we all know. When we fell at Creation, man was separated from eternal time, and was restricted to natural time to live out their days. We have been subjected to the natural laws that govern us ever since. The angel that I saw was given the duty of recording the time that is allotted to each person, and to each city, and to each nation, and to the earth. The angels record every event in our individual lives as well as our national lives. Every word that is spoken, every thought that is thought, every deed that is done, and every event that happens- the Lord knows everything from the beginning to the end. But we make our choices, and what we do is recorded in heaven.

He said that we are each given a specific timeframe for our lives to accomplish His will. It is up to us to walk out that will and to seek Him daily to accomplish that day’s task and to learn from them. It is the same with every city, every nation, and every country. Each has it’s own destiny to fulfill. We are given the time to find Him, to find our place in this world, and to walk out our parts if we choose to, but we must make good use of the time we are given. Natural time as we know it is changing, accelerating, and even being altered by the events that are now happening and also by that which will happen in the future- by the choices that we on earth will make.

He also asserted that by my seeing this reality, we must also realize that we do not have a lot of time, but we have an allotted time. We must change, we must rise up, and we must do what we are called to do now in order to fulfill what we were born on this earth to do for His Kingdom, while we have been given the time to do it. As things wind down unto the end of what we know as the time natural man was given to rule, we will also step fully into eternal time and walk out the rest of what we will also fulfill. It’s time to listen and to respond and to move. It is time to obey.

In researching this further, the Lord led Patrick to show me Daniel 12:

1"At that time shall arise Michael, the great prince who has charge of your people. And there shall be a time of trouble, such as never has been since there was a nation till that time. But at that time your people shall be delivered, everyone whose name shall be found written in the book. 2And many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt. 3 And those who are wise shall shine like the brightness of the sky above; and those who turn many to righteousness, like the stars forever and ever. 4But you, Daniel, shut up the words and seal the book, until the time of the end. Many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall increase." 5Then I, Daniel, looked, and behold, two others stood, one on this bank of the stream and one on that bank of the stream. 6And someone said to the man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the stream, "How long shall it be till the end of these wonders?" 7And I heard the man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the stream; he raised his right hand and his left hand toward heaven and swore by him who lives forever that it would be for a time, times, and half a time, and that when the shattering of the power of the holy people comes to an end all these things would be finished. 8I heard, but I did not understand. Then I said, "O my lord, what shall be the outcome of these things?" 9He said, "Go your way, Daniel, for the words are shut up and sealed until the time of the end. 10 Many shall purify themselves and make themselves white and be refined, but the wicked shall act wickedly. And none of the wicked shall understand, but those who are wise shall understand. 11And from the time that the regular burnt offering is taken away and the abomination that makes desolate is set up, there shall be 1,290 days. 12Blessed is he who waits and arrives at the 1,335 days. 13 But go your way till the end. And you shall rest and shall stand in your allotted place at the end of the days."

1 Corinthians 7:17 Only, let each one to conduct himself and regulate his affairs so as to lead the life which the Lord has allotted and imparted to him and to which God has invited and summoned him. This is my order in all the churches.

Job 23:12 The command of His lips, and I depart not. Above my allotted portion I have laid up the sayings of His mouth.

11:11 =

11: Earthly man (church)             11: Heavenly man (church)   
       The will of man/church                 The End of One Age or Era
       The will of Heaven                         The Dawning of a New Age or Era

The earthly or sensual, immature church rises up to become the heavenly or spiritually minded church in 2011. Through the fires and purging of the Lord she finally sheds her earthly skin or worldly identity and becomes the heavenly minded, holy people that are set apart unto the Lord in the earth. A newly emerging people will finally agree with the will of the Father, and will walk out their destinies in the earth, with the Lord leading them and living it through them.

Genesis 32:

1 Jacob went on his way, and the angels of God met him. 2And when Jacob saw them he said, "This is God’s camp!" So he called the name of that place Mahanaim.

22The same night he arose and took his two wives, his two female servants, and his eleven children, and crossed the ford of the Jabbok. 23He took them and sent them across the stream, and everything else that he had. 24And Jacob was left alone. And a man wrestled with him until the breaking of the day. 25When the man saw that he did not prevail against Jacob, he touched his hip socket, and Jacob’s hip was put out of joint as he wrestled with him. 26Then he said, "Let me go, for the day has broken." But Jacob said, "I will not let you go unless you bless me." 27And he said to him, "What is your name?" And he said, "Jacob." 28Then he said, "Your name shall no longer be called Jacob, but Israel, for you have striven with God and with men, and have prevailed." 29Then Jacob asked him, "Please tell me your name." But he said, "Why is it that you ask my name?" And there he blessed him. 30So Jacob called the name of the place Peniel, saying, "For I have seen God face to face, and yet my life has been delivered." 31The sun rose upon him as he passed Penuel, limping because of his hip.

Hebrews 11:11 By faith Sarah herself received power to conceive, even when she was past the age, since she considered him faithful who had promised.

John 11:11 After saying these things, he said to them, "Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep, but I go to awaken him."

Isaiah 11:11 In that day the Lord will extend his hand yet a second time to recover the remnant that remains of his people, from Assyria, from Egypt, from Pathros, from Cush, from Elam, from Shinar, from Hamath, and from the coastlands of the sea.

Deuteronomy 11:11 But the land that you are going over to possess is a land of hills and valleys, which drinks water by the rain from heaven,

Matthew 10:38And he who does not take up his cross and follow Me [cleave steadfastly to Me, conforming wholly to My example in living and, if need be, in dying also] is not worthy of Me. 39Whoever finds his [lower] life will lose it [the higher life], and whoever loses his [lower] life on My account will find it [the higher life].

Mark 8:34And Jesus called [to Him] the throng with His disciples and said to them, If anyone intends to come after Me, let him deny himself [forget, ignore, disown, and lose sight of himself and his own interests] and take up his cross, and [joining Me as a disciple and siding with My party] follow with Me [continually, cleaving steadfastly to Me]. 35For whoever wants to save his [higher, spiritual, eternal] life, will lose it [the lower, natural, temporal life which is lived only on earth]; and whoever gives up his life [which is lived only on earth] for My sake and the Gospel's will save it [his higher, spiritual life in the eternal kingdom of God].

Jude 1:18They told you beforehand, In the last days (in the end time) there will be scoffers [who seek to gratify their own unholy desires], following after their own ungodly passions. 19It is these who are [agitators] setting up distinctions and causing divisions--merely sensual [creatures, carnal, worldly-minded people], devoid of the [Holy] Spirit and destitute of any higher spiritual life. 20But you, beloved, build yourselves up [founded] on your most holy faith [make progress, rise like an edifice higher and higher], praying in the Holy Spirit;

5771: The Year Of Divine Providence

Psalms 32:8 I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with my eye upon you.

Isaiah 10:20 In that day the remnant of Israel and the survivors of the house of Jacob will no more lean on him who struck them, but will lean on the LORD, the Holy One of Israel, in truth. 21A remnant will return, the remnant of Jacob, to the mighty God. 22 For though your people Israel be as the sand of the sea, only a remnant of them will return. Destruction is decreed, overflowing with righteousness. 23For the Lord GOD of hosts will make a full end, as decreed, in the midst of all the earth. 24Therefore thus says the Lord GOD of hosts: "O my people, who dwell in Zion, be not afraid of the Assyrians when they strike with the rod and lift up their staff against you as the Egyptians did. 25For in a very little while my fury will come to an end, and my anger will be directed to their destruction. 26And the LORD of hosts will wield against them a whip, as when he struck Midian at the rock of Oreb. And his staff will be over the sea, and he will lift it as he did in Egypt. 27And in that day his burden will depart from your shoulder, and his yoke from your neck; and the yoke will be broken because of the fat."

Isaiah 14:24 The LORD of hosts has sworn: "As I have planned, so shall it be, and as I have purposed, so shall it stand, 25that I will break the Assyrian in my land, and on my mountains trample him underfoot; and his yoke shall depart from them, and his burden from their shoulder." 26  This is the purpose that is purposed concerning the whole earth, and this is the hand that is stretched out over all the nations. 27 For the LORD of hosts has purposed, and who will annul it? His hand is stretched out, and who will turn it back?
