"Katrina & years 2, 3, & 4; "11 11"; New Jerusalem!!!"
ALL:
Wednesday night, 12/7, I couldn't sleep until after MIDNIGHT. I had
spoken to a friend earlier that day who was VERY MUCH a "type",
like me, who is a pretty "contentious" person as far as TRUSTING
people. I told him (because I felt he needs some reassurance from
scripture about some "issues" in his life, etc.) that that is a VERY
good quality to have in these days with ALL the people who like to
try to "fool" you. This was on my mind and I also encouraged him to
get a One Year Bible and start reading it because he was doing NO
BIBLE READING!
...Isaiah 29
...NIV
...24 Those who are wayward in spirit will gain understanding;
...those who complain will accept instruction."
...King James Version
...24 They also that erred in spirit shall come to understanding,
...and they that murmured shall learn doctrine.
...New American Standard
...24 "Those who err in mind will know the truth,
...And those who criticize will accept instruction.
...Amplified Bible
...24 Those who err in spirit will come to understanding,
...and those who murmur [discontentedly] will accept instruction.
I'm NOT saying that it's always good to just "ACT" contentious
about EVERYTHING. But I "AM" saying that many people who like
to get involved in a religion just do so out of fear of the "crowd". Many
times, these people just want to "get along" so badly with a particular
"sect" or group they "CAN" throw a LOT of truth and kindness out the
window. For an EXTREME example, look at Islam. Try disagreeing
with the Islamic rulers and see how far that gets you "inside" one of
the theocratic Moslem countries. "KINDNESS" takes a back seat
in this form of religion. David wrote:
...Psalm 139
...King James Version
...23 Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me,
...and know my thoughts:
...24 And see if there be any WICKED way in me,
...and lead me in the way everlasting.
...New American Standard
...23 Search me, O God, and know my heart;
...Try me and know my anxious thoughts;
...24 And see if there be any HURTFUL way in me,
...And lead me in the everlasting way.
...NIV
...23 Search me, O God, and know my heart;
...test me and know my anxious thoughts.
...24 See if there is any OFFENSIVE way in me,
...and lead me in the way everlasting.
Anyway...
Last night (12-7/8), I dreamed that my youngest son had either run
over a doe deer or just stopped to "pick up" a deer that had been
run over (to possibly give away, he is very thoughtful). While waiting
for someone to come pick up the first deer (a doe), he "shot" a second
doe. (This is unusual because, my youngest son would DEFINITELY
be considered a "NOVICE" as far as ANY hunting.) As I looked at the
2 deer side by side (it is deer season here in MS), one looked "FLAT"
and "RUN OVER" and the other CLEARLY had been shot through the
neck (because I saw a small hole with blood coming out) but the deer
itself was more plump and "FRESHER" looking.
This reminded me of something that Anne (a friend from SC) had
told me about Ephraim. ESPECIALLY this morning! Just AFTER my
dream and waking up, a portion of scripture from Hosea (10:1-14:9)
was in my One Year Bible's reading for the day had MUCH to say about
Ephraim as compared to Israel and Judah!!! NOT without note would be
that Hosea 11:11 was in this portion. As you may recall, I saw "11 11's"
coming out of the north in an ENDLESS stream as I was "SWEPT UP"
in my spring, 1998 rapture dream. (Some of this dream was mentioned
in the post on Peg Fenn's "Yahnunah" dream).
...Hosea 11:11:
..."They will come trembling like birds from Egypt, like 'DOVES'
...from Assyria. I will settle them in their homes,"
...declares the LORD.
...(These ll ll's looked sort of like this in my dream.)
......ll ll
......ll ll
......ll ll
......ll ll
......ll ll
......ll ll
I have RARELY thought of my dream in this way! In other words,
that these "missile looking ll ll's" were "possibly" people being
"TAKEN HOME"! (Of course they could have a "DUAL" meaning
because warnings were going off at the SAME TIME and it was a
VERY scary "feeling" to hear them!!!)
...Isaiah 26
...19 But your dead will live;
........their bodies will rise.
........You who dwell in the dust,
........wake up and shout for joy.
........Your dew is like the dew of the morning;
........the earth will give birth to her dead.
...20 GO, MY PEOPLE, ENTER YOUR ROOMS
........AND SHUT THE DOORS BEHIND YOU;
........HIDE YOURSELVES FOR A LITTLE WHILE
........UNTIL HIS WRATH HAS PASSED BY.
...21 See, the LORD is coming out of his dwelling
........to punish the people of the earth for their sins.
........The earth will disclose the blood shed upon her;
........she will conceal her slain no longer.
My spring, 1998 dream DEFINITELY had an American "slant" to it
and my 1st post on Five "Doves" (see Hosea 11:11) was on 8/30/01
or just 12 days prior to "911"!!! The Lord had "DEFINITELY" told me
to just separate myself (a "form" of "contentiousness" if you will) and
ONLY listen to Him a few days just prior to this.
The dream this morning could also represent 2 types. The "FLAT" and
1st deer could represent "Israel" who came "1st" while the 2nd ("fresher")
deer could represent "America", a newer, more "Gentile" nation.
A "CHIASMUS" is a "HOLY STYLE" of writing a "MESSAGE" which
can be in numbers, lines of verse, or almost ANY "TYPE" of writing
that can be "read" forwards or backwards.
...1. JEWS WHO CAME FIRST (but mostly failed to believe
...on Jesus) WOULD JOIN (later on after the pre-trib rapture)...
...2. THE GENTILES WHO CAME LAST BUT "DID" (moreso
...than the Jews) BELIEVE ON JESUS!
...Matthew 19
...29 And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters
...or father or mother or children or fields for my sake will
...receive a hundred times as much and will inherit eternal life.
...30 BUT MANY WHO ARE FIRST WILL BE LAST, AND
...MANY WHO ARE LAST WILL BE FIRST.
So, making numbers out of "BELIEVING" and "JOINING" Jesus,
...1 = "JEWS BELIEVE" and "JEWS JOIN JESUS"
...2 = "GENTILES BELIEVE" and "GENTILES JOIN JESUS"
...a numerical chiasmus of this scenario of this looks like:
......1...2...2...1.
Ephraim (Joseph's 2nd son) is more like us Gentiles ("THE" prime
representative of a "Gentile" nation would be the US) who came
LAST! "BUT", when Joseph BLESSED his sons, he placed his
hand on Ephraim FIRST. This was most likely a PROPHETIC
SIGNAL that they would "believe" on Jesus FIRST and be "delivered"
FIRST although "BORN" SECOND. Manasseh is one of the 12 Jewish
tribes mentioned in Revelation 7 (as Anne said). Ephraim IS NOT
MENTIONED as one of the 12 Jewish tribes in Revelation 7. It's also
interesting that the following account is in Genesis 48", the year Israel
became a nation again. (And, to me, our BEST years / the "years"
when our nation did the MOST good, were the years during WW I
and WW II when we were "48" states!!!)
...Genesis 48
...15 Then he blessed Joseph and said,
......"May the God before whom my fathers
......Abraham and Isaac walked,
......the God who has been my shepherd
......all my life to this day,
......16 the Angel who has delivered me from all harm
......-may he bless these boys.
......May they be called by my name
......and the names of my fathers Abraham and Isaac,
......and may they increase greatly
......upon the earth."
...17 When Joseph saw his father placing his right hand on
...Ephraim's head he was displeased; so he took hold of his
...father's hand to move it from Ephraim's head to Manasseh's
...head. 18 Joseph said to him, "No, my father, this one is the
...firstborn; put your right hand on his head."
...19 But his father refused and said, "I know, my son, I know.
...He too will become a people, and he too will become great.
...Nevertheless, his younger brother will be greater than he,
...and his descendants will become a group of nations."
...20 He blessed them that day and said,
......"In your name will Israel pronounce this blessing:
......'May God make you like Ephraim and Manasseh.' "
...So HE PUT EPHRAIM AHEAD OF MANASSEH.
"911" was the US' NATIONAL TRUMPET CALL OF WARNING!!!
Even Hosea "911" reinforces this thought!
...Hosea 9
...11 As for Ephraim, their glory shall fly away like a bird, from
...the birth, and from the womb, and from the conception.
SO MANY (Christians and others) HAVE NOT given serious heed to
our NATIONAL WARNING!!!
...Jeremiah 6
...13 "From the least to the greatest, all are greedy for gain;
...prophets and priests alike, all practice deceit.
...14 THEY DRESS THE WOUND OF MY PEOPLE AS THOUGH
...IT WERE NOT SERIOUS.
...'PEACE, PEACE,' THEY SAY, WHEN THERE IS NO PEACE.
...15 Are they ashamed of their loathsome conduct?
...No, they have no shame at all;
...they do not even know how to blush.
...So they will fall among the fallen;
...they will be brought down when I punish them,"
...says the LORD.
Major hurricanes which hit the US come from the Sahara desert
of Africa which is to our "EAST". (PLEASE NOTE that the scripture
below from Hosea ALSO deals with "POWER" over the grave!)
www.timeforkids.com/TFK/media/specials/graphics/050831_katrina/worldmap_hurricanes.htmlwww.timeforkids.com/TFK/specials/articles/0,6709,1100404,00.html
...Hurricanes get their start over Africa. The swirling storms are fueled
...by wet weather, winds and warm ocean waters.
...1. Born in West Africa
...When hot, dry air from the Sahara desert meets cooler, moist air
...from the Sahel region to the south, small storms form.
...Hosea 13
...13 Pains as of a woman in childbirth come to him,
........but he is a child without wisdom;
........when the time arrives,
........he does not come to the opening of the womb.
...14 "I WILL RANSOM THEM FROM THE POWER OF THE GRAVE;
........I WILL REDEEM THEM FROM DEATH.
........Where, O death, are your plagues?
........Where, O grave, is your destruction?
........"I will have no compassion,
...15 even though he thrives among his brothers.
........AN EAST WIND from the LORD will come,
........BLOWING IN FROM THE DESERT;
........his spring will fail and his well dry up.
........His storehouse will be plundered of all its treasures.
...Luke 13
...6 Then he told this parable: "A man had a fig tree,
...planted in his vineyard, and he went to look for fruit
...on it, but did not find any. 7 So he said to the man
...who took care of the vineyard, 'FOR THREE YEARS
...NOW I'VE BEEN COMING TO LOOK FOR FRUIT ON
...THIS FIG TREE AND HAVEN'T FOUND ANY. CUT IT
...DOWN! Why should it use up the soil?'
...8" 'Sir,' the man replied, 'leave it alone for ONE MORE
...YEAR, and I'll dig around it and fertilize it.
So, "YES", I "DEFINITELY" associate KATRINA's results with the
warning given in the Parable of the Fig Tree!!! "THREE PLUS ONE
EQUALS FOUR"!!! We have been going through years 2, 3, and 4
since "911". We are NOW through them. These little "WINDS" off
the African coast "TOOK OUT" the Gulf Coast of my home state.
There is simply NO COMPARISON to any former hurricane before
Katrina. AND, it arrived 8 days AFTER the "proper" and "prophetic"
"4" (360 day) years of the "Parable of the Fig Tree".
...From: Tuesday, September 11, 2001 ("911")
...To: Monday, August 29, 2005 (Katrina destroys MS coast & N. O.)
...It is 1,448 days
...360 X 4 = 1440
How has the US "TREATED" the "Fig Tree" (Israel)? I believe we
ALL know!!!!! She is like the "FLAT" deer in my dream this morning!
Israel is PUSHED on all sides by policies bent on pleasing countries
(that just "happen" to have a lot of oil under their ground) that promote
a false religious system with "Israel" their MAJOR enemy.
The "GENTILE" quake of 12/22/03 occurred at the END of 2003 or,
you might say, near the beginning of the 3rd year. And, "4" days
later there was a MAJOR quake in the Middle East which killed 31,000.
Then, one "GENTILE" calendar year later was the 9.0 quake ("9" is a
symbol of "BIRTH" and "JUDGMENT"). That was near the beginning
of the 4th year. Over the 3rd and 4th years, the US has seen MAJOR
hurricane damage and ESPECIALLY this year, 2005, THE 4TH YEAR!!!

www.news8austin.com/content/your_news/default.asp?ArID=150826...Record hurricane season ends
...11/30/2005 8:59 AM
...By: Burton Fitzsimmons | Chief Meteorologist
...It's over, at least for now. Like monsters from the sea, chaos and
...destruction lashed the Americas seemingly right out of the water
...over the last six months like never before. Could it have been any
...worse? We believed in the overly active forecast given early in the
...year but no one was truly prepared for what Mother Nature would
...deliver.
...Powerful images of Americans attacked by nature, removed from
...their homes and with only the shirts on their backs to call their own,
...will be stuck in our memories for a long time to come. The painful
...2005 Atlantic hurricane season officially ends Wednesday even while
...a tropical storm still churns in open waters.
...Never in the history of hurricane tracking have we experienced a
...busier, more extraordinary season than we did this year. Since
...June, a record 26 named tropical storms developed across the
...Atlantic basin with 13 of them becoming hurricanes, seven of
...those attaining major status (Category 3 to Category 5 on the
...Saffir-Simpson scale), with three of six strongest hurricanes
...ever recorded in history.
..."This hurricane season shattered records that have stood for
...decades—most named storms, most hurricanes and most
...Category 5 storms. Arguably, it was the most devastating
...hurricane season the country has experienced in modern
...times," said retired Navy Vice Adm. Conrad C. Lautenbacher, Jr.,
...undersecretary of commerce for oceans and atmosphere and
...NOAA administrator. Never in the history of this country has
...there been so much property damage from land-falling tropical
...cyclones.
Obviously, the ONLY way to be sure to evade the MORE "coming"
wrath is by trusting TOTALLY in the Lord!!!! And, yes, these things
SHOULD be noticed by saint and sinner alike!!!!!! I hope that you
are on the side of the "SAINTS" and "KNOW IT"!!!!!
GOD BLESS!!!!!!!!!

PS:
As encouragement for those who "ARE" watching....
On Tuesday night, December 6th, I subscribed to iTunes in order to
make some new CD's. Having heard Carly Simon on PBS singing
"Let the River Run", I selected it as the 1st song on my list. Then,
"AS" I went to check FiveDoves.com on Wednesday, this song was
playing (I had put about 20 on my list). For "SOME" reason, as I
came onto Five Doves, my eyes "HIT" the scripture which was used
for December 6th (the 12/7 posts had not been put up at that time).
PLEASE NOTE THE WORDS OF THE SONG AND THE SCRIPTURE!!!
(By the way, I noticed that John Tng changes this almost DAILY but
it was used on 12/5 and 12/6!!!) GET READY!!!!!!!!!!!

"And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down
from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband."
Rev 21:2
Let the River Run by Carly Simon
We're coming to the edge,
running on the water,
coming through the fog,
your sons and daughters.
Let the river run,
let all the dreamers
wake the nation.
Come, the New Jerusalem.
Silver cities rise,
the morning lights
the streets that meet them,
and sirens call them on
with a song.
It's asking for the taking.
Trembling, shaking.
Oh, my heart is aching.
We're coming to the edge,
running on the water,
coming through the fog,
your sons and daughters.
We the great and small
stand on a star
and blaze a trail of desire
through the dark'ning dawn.
It's asking for the taking.
Come run with me now,
the sky is the color of blue
you've never even seen
in the eyes of your lover.
Oh, my heart is aching.
We're coming to the edge,
running on the water,
coming through the fog,
your sons and daughters.
[guitar]

let all the dreamers
wake the nation.
Come, the New Jerusalem.
