{Sister Cindy had this dream twice; the first time,
she didn't notice certain details that she discerned the second time around}
It's a dark and cloudy day. It's pouring rain outside. I have my newborn son,
Matthew, in my one arm. I'm running to a log cabin house that is in the
distance. There is nothing around the house ... no trees, no other houses, no
roads, just a huge log cabin in a meadow. There are snakes, poisonous snakes,
chasing us as I'm running to this house. The rain is pouring [so much] that [the
water] gets higher and higher to where it is knee deep on me. With Matthew in
one arm, I bat the snakes that jump to attack with the other arm. As I'm making
my way to the house, one of the snakes bites Matthew to where he let out a wail.
I check him, but there is no bite mark, and he lives.
I finally get to the log cabin. From the distance,
it looked small, but, up close, it was huge, like it was built for someone who
is at least 8-9 feet tall. The snakes are still following me, trying to bite
Matthew and me. As I'm making my way up the front steps to the front doors, the
snakes are hot on my trail. (There are 12 stairs. I noticed that I and Matthew
weren't wet from the rain as we are making our way to this log cabin, even
though it's pouring rain outside) I get inside and start making my way to the
upstairs floor. When I ran inside --- the first time I didn't notice; [I
noticed] until the second time I had this dream --- [I noticed] there is no
furniture in any of the rooms, there are no doors, and there is no glass on any
of the windows, and no rain was coming into the house either. As I'm making my
way up the stairs, inside the house, to the second floor with Matthew in my arms
and the snakes at my heels, there was a huge window at the top of the stairs
that I could see as I'm making my way up. There are 12 stairs inside the house
too. I get to the open window and then I wake up.
Our
brief comments
As we shared in our
last posting, the Lord
had spoken to my heart and said, "The coliseum dream is next".
A few hours after that, the Lord said, "The meadow
house dream must come after that; it is the coliseum dream's sister dream". As I was
rereading this dream, I was surprised to read that it started with the sentence "It's
a dark and cloudy day", since it correlates with what the Lord had us
share
recently regarding the "thick darkness" that He dwells in.
Therefore, the postings "How
do you recognize your gifts? (Part 2)", "Darkness
over the coliseum", and this posting form an interrelated trilogy on the
"gloomy darkness" involved in following God to the end.
{Fellow believer, there are threads in
this dream that have been left unexplored or partially explored. We pray that
you will follow up on these threads. If the Lord shares something with you
regarding this dream, please let us know. Thank you.}
This dream has
several elements to consider:
|
The "dark
and cloudy day" speaks of the manifestation of the "dark
side" of God's visitation. The "cloudiness" in particular speaks of the
cloud of witnesses who have died without seeing the fulfillment of the
Promise (Hebrews 12:1). As we have seen
before, these are the green-horse
souls mentioned in the 5th seal of the Apocalypse whose suffering and clamor
release God's vindicating vengeance against those bent on upholding the
soul
matriarchy and against those who are ambivalent about its existence.
|
|
The
pouring rain represents the incessant rain of God's judgments
that force His people to seek a
separation from Korah. It represents the
constant and unrelenting inner pressure that God places on His remnant
people, making them aware of God's anger with the current state of things.
They know that the current structures are useless shelters for the impending
rain, just as the Egyptian roofs were useless to thwart the attack of the
angel the night that the firstborns died (Exodus 12:29-32), because it is
a rain that demands an inner New-Covenant relationship with God. Those with
an external Old-Covenant relationship will be helpless against the oncoming
rain.

The
lonely log cabin in the meadow represents a place of refuge in
the midst of
Sheol desolation and emptiness. Therefore, it represents the
Paradise, the
bosom of Abraham, the spiritual "Fort
Wayne"s where God's
green-horse believers are hiding after being spiritually "killed" by the
Korah spirit and his followers. The fact that it is a "log cabin"
means that it is spiritually made of "fallen timbers", which, as we have
said before, speaks of the fall of the
matriarchal pastors who rule over the
Church. Fellow believer, when you reject the pastoral matriarchy in your
heart, you are cutting down "pastoral timbers", and God uses
the logs from those timbers to fashion a log cabin that will serve as a
temporary place of refuge towards which you can run as you flee from the
persecution that results from your "tree cutting". By cutting down the "pastoral timbers" in your heart, you incur the
wrath of an entire world system whose spirit will come against you, fighting
tooth and nail to utterly destroy you. By cutting down those "timbers", you
are profaning what this world system (including the Church) holds so
"sacred" and "dear", and you become a "persona non grata" who will suffer
constant attacks and persecution. As we have studied before, the fiercest
persecution and attacks will come from the very brethren who were supposed
to help you rather than hinder you.
"25And it came
to pass the same night, that the LORD said unto him, Take thy father’s young
bullock, even the second bullock of seven years old, and
throw down the altar of Baal
that thy father hath,
and cut down the grove
that is by it: 26And
build an altar unto the LORD thy God upon the top of this rock, in the
ordered place, and take the second bullock, and offer a burnt sacrifice with
the wood of the grove which thou shalt cut down. 27Then Gideon
took ten men of his servants, and did as the LORD had said unto him: and so
it was, because he feared his father’s household, and the men of the city,
that he could not do it by day, that he did it by night. 28And
when the men of the city arose early in the morning, behold, the altar of
Baal was cast down, and the grove was cut down that was by it, and the
second bullock was offered upon the altar that was built. 29And
they said one to another, Who hath done this thing? And when they enquired
and asked, they said, Gideon the son of Joash hath done this thing. 30Then
the men of the city said unto Joash, Bring out thy son, that he may die:
because he hath cast down the altar of Baal, and because he hath cut down
the grove that was by it.
31And Joash said unto all that stood against him, Will ye plead
for Baal? will ye save him? he that will plead for him, let him be put to
death whilst it is yet morning: if he be a god, let him plead for himself,
because one hath cast down his altar. 32Therefore on that day he
called him Jerubbaal, saying, Let Baal plead against him, because he hath
thrown down his altar." (Judges 6:25-32)
"10Blessed
are they which are persecuted for
righteousness’ sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
11Blessed
are ye, when men shall revile you, and
persecute you, and shall say all
manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.
12Rejoice,
and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted
they the prophets which were before you." (Matthew 5:10-12)
"10But
thou hast fully known my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith,
longsuffering, charity, patience,
11Persecutions,
afflictions, which came unto me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra; what
persecutions I endured: but out of them all the Lord delivered me.
12Yea,
and all that will live
godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution."
(2 Timothy 3:10-12)

The name "Matthew"
literally means "gift of Jehovah". Therefore, sister Cindy's son Matthew
represents the spiritual calling and gifts which God has given to us. The
snakes' efforts to kill Matthew represent the attacks that the enemy will
launch against us if we are unwilling to relinquish the consecration of our
calling and gifts unto
God (and God only). Most believers who live "in
peace" do so because they gave up on an all-out, uncompromising commitment
to the sanctity of their calling long, long ago. For the sake of a few
"ministerial" privileges and soulish acceptance from others, they sold their
calling, and have allowed their gifts to be used for
banal purposes that do
not produce a lasting transformation of the world's spirit realm.
The book of Matthew happens to be the 1st book
of the New Testament and the 40th book in the Bible. Therefore, Matthew
represents the transition from "39" to "40" that we have studied
before. In
this context, the number "38" speaks of
Old-Covenant dependence on earthly
kings, and the number "40" speaks of entering the Promised Land (the
perverse generation that believed in Old-Covenant intermediaries, and who
did not care for a
New-Covenant relationship with God, wandered in the
desert for 38 years, and the Joshua generation that truly believed in God
entered the Promised Land 2 years later, after 40 years in the desert).
In its journey towards the fulfillment of God's purposes for her, America became stuck at "39", halfway between "38" and "40". This dream,
therefore, speaks of how America came so close to losing her calling as a
nation (her "Matthew"), but was able to preserve it on account of a few
faithful remnant believers who have paid (and are paying) a high spiritual
price for her. They have borne a price that became unnecessarily higher than
the price originally planned by God; this "price hike" was a result of
America's stubborn reluctance to fully let go of its matriarchal,
religious structures. This stubborn corporeal reluctance by America was
manifested through certain catalyst believers within the American Church
structure who were being called to fully surrender all matriarchal
paradigms; these representative believers, however, committed "Tyre treason"
against God's remnant, and God's bridge into the American Church became
undone. This led to the need for a forcible and violent entry into America by God ... the
vindictive entry that God is forging even as we speak. After this forcible
and painful entry, the American Church (and America in general) will finally
enter into a true "New Covenant" age. The yet
unwritten "New Testament"
story of America's spiritual life (beginning with the book of "Matthew")
will begin to be written, and America will be on its way to finally
fulfilling its spiritual calling on Earth.
The names "Matthew" and "Matthias" are
variations of the same Hebrew name "Mattithiah" (meaning "gift of Jehovah").
Before Pentecost could break out (Acts 2), the apostles
had to fill the empty seat left by
Judas the traitor, and that seat was filled by a man named Matthias:
"15And in those
days Peter stood up in the midst of the disciples, and said, (the number of
names together were about an hundred and twenty,) 16Men and
brethren, this
scripture must needs have been fulfilled,
which the Holy Ghost by the mouth of David spake before
concerning Judas,
which was guide to them that took Jesus. 17For he was numbered
with us, and had obtained part of this ministry. 18Now this man
purchased a field with the reward of iniquity; and falling headlong, he
burst asunder in the midst, and all his bowels gushed out. 19And
it was known unto all the dwellers at Jerusalem; insomuch as that field is
called in their proper tongue, Aceldama, that is to say, The field of blood.
20For it is written in the book of Psalms,
Let his habitation be
desolate, and let no man dwell therein: and his bishoprick let another take.
21Wherefore of these men which have companied with us all the
time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us, 22Beginning
from the baptism of John, unto that same day that he was taken up from us,
must one be ordained to be a witness with us of his resurrection. 23And
they appointed two, Joseph called Barsabas, who was surnamed Justus, and
Matthias. 24And they prayed, and said,
Thou, Lord,
which knowest the hearts of all men,
shew whether of these two thou
hast chosen, 25That
he may take part of
this ministry and apostleship, from which Judas by transgression fell,
that he might go to his own place. 26And
they gave forth their lots;
and the lot fell upon Matthias;
and he was numbered
with the eleven apostles."
(Acts 1:15-26)
Therefore, the name "Matthew" speaks of the
replacement that the American Church must make in order to enter into God's
latter-rain revival. The Judas element in the American Church that betrayed
God's remnant must be replaced with those who have remained faithful to
God's calling, even through the bitter betrayal. Just like the historical
Judas, the spiritual Judas in the American Church was a member of God's
remnant. They heard God's voice as did the other members of the remnant, and
they had access to the same secrets of the Spirit that God was revealing to
the other members. Yet, they loved ministerial position and acceptance more
than they did God's invisible calling, so they reneged on their "Matthews"
(i.e.- "Matthiases") and turned into Judases who
turned their backs on God's
remnant and left them to be hounded and "killed" by satan and his cursed
host.
In the dream, sister Cindy was struggling to
take Matthew to a place of refuge. This is a prophetic figure of how God has
"stowed away" America's (and Britannia's) calling, safe from the
contamination of the enemy. This was possible because there were believers
who were willing to pay the high price required for this "stowing". This
price is portrayed in sister Cindy's perilous flight towards the window in
the faraway log cabin. This price involves paying the "10th gift", a
spiritual tithe that requires paying with our very lives. This "10th gift"
is the only gift that can preserve the "Matthew" ("gift of Jehovah") in us
and render it eternal. As we pay the "10th gift", we go from being
"hirelings" who keep God's gifts for a season to being "sons and daughters"
who keep His gifts as an eternal inheritance.
"16Thus saith the
Lord GOD; If the prince
give a gift unto any of his sons, the inheritance thereof shall be his sons';
it shall be their possession by inheritance. 17But if he give a
gift of his inheritance
to one of his servants,
then it shall be his to
the year of liberty;
after it shall return
to the prince: but his
inheritance shall be his sons’ for them." (Ezekiel 46:16-17)
[Notice that "servants" must eventually return
the gift given to them, and they must do so when the "year of liberty"
comes. This "year of liberty" refers to the spiritual "Year of Jubilee",
which shall be fully manifested in the Church once believers enter into a
New-Covenant relationship with God, free from the domination of the
Old-Covenant ministerial castes that currently rule over the Church.]

In the dream, the log cabin was in a "meadow".
Meadows are tracts of rich, green
pasture land. Due to this, ever since I read this dream for the first time, my
heart would immediately be taken to the green
countryside pastures of Ireland, Scotland, Wales, and England, and
the phrase that would constantly "leap up" in my heart would be "the
green horse". Yesterday (September 14,
2006), the Lord prompted me to look up the meaning of the word "meadow", and
I was shocked at how all that I found correlated with these initial
thoughts.
According to a webpage focusing on "meadows" (posted on
www.answers.com), the word "meadow" may refer to either of the
following:
|
A field or pasture
|
|
"Meadow", an
open source programming project
intended to port the GNU Emacs text editor for Unix to Microsoft
Windows. According to
wikipedia.org, the concept of "open source software" is a "communistic"
concept in which software source code is made available to an entire
community free of charge. The members of the community can contribute to
the source code, and those contributions are freely available to the
rest of the community. The "Open Source Initiative" is an organization
formed in February 1998 by Eric S. Raymond and Bruce Perens to promote
this mode of software development throughout the industry.
One of the most famous examples of "open
source" software is the Linux operating system, which was begun as a
hobby by a Finnish man named Linus Torvalds. According to
wikipedia.org,
Torvalds' family belongs to the Swedish-speaking minority in Finland.
Both of his parents were "campus radicals" at the University of Helsinki
in the 1960s. His father was a communist who studied in Moscow for a
year during the mid-1970s.
The concept of "open source" has been
applied outside the realm of computer software. The Wikipedia
encyclopedia is an example, and, to a certain extent, this very website
is another example of the "open source" approach. The "open source
movement" has hidden spiritual overtones, and it reflects operations
being performed by God in the
heavenly realm.
Those who
choose to
operate in the New Covenant are moving in a spiritual "open meadow"
of Spirit freedom (2 Corinthians 3:17-18),
free from the limitations of a life dominated by the
soul, but that freedom will draw the
wrath of those who want the soul to remain in control, and your soul
will suffer much persecution.
|
|
"Water-meadow", an area of flat land by a river or stream that is subject to
flooding. According to wikipedia.org, water meadows were once very common in
Italy, Switzerland, and England (from 1523), but not anymore.
|
|
"Meadows, Nottinghamshire", an area in Nottingham,
England.
|
|
"The Meadows", a park in Edinburgh,
Scotland.
|
|
"Henry Meadows" of Wolverhampton,
England, a supplier of engines to
the British motor industry |
Notice how just about everything listed above is related to the UK (and
Europe). Even the
"Meadow" software project subtly points towards the UK. As we said above,
the "Open Source Initiative" was formed by two men,
Eric Raymond and Bruce Perens. These 4 names point to the UK
and to the green horse of the Apocalypse:
|
As we have said recently, the name "Eric"
points to God's green-horse remnant, to
Scotland,
and to Britannia's spiritual calling, which God has "stowed
away" from the enemy's grasp.
|
|
According to a
names-meaning website, the name "Raymond" is a combination of
two Germanic words meaning "advice" and "protector". As we have seen
before, God's prophetic Holy Spirit is a spirit of "counsel and might",
which means that "advice" points to the
prophetic ministry. On the other hand, the ministry most
directly related to "protecting" is the
pastoral ministry. This means that the "Raymond" is
"prophetic-pastoral" in nature, which immediately points to the green
horse, since green-horse riders are
prophet-pastors by nature.
|
|
According to a
names-meaning
website, the name "Bruce" is derived from a Norman
surname, which points to the UK and to the green horse of the
Apocalypse, since, as we have shared
recently, the Norman conquest of
England was a green-horse event. Interestingly enough, "Bruce" was the
name of the 14th-century Scottish hero "Robert the Bruce" who achieved
independence from England and became king of Scotland.
|
|
The name "Perens" is similar to the
Hebrew word
pere,
which is spiritually related to the prophetic ministry and to spiritual
"wild asses", which in turn points to green-horse riders, who are
"chaotically
wild" prophet-pastors whose spirits
wreak havoc upon the
enemies of God. |
The fact that there is a place in
Nottinghamshire, England called "Meadows" also has tremendous spiritual
significance, and it serves to unlock the meaning behind sister Cindy's
dream. Consider the following facts regarding Nottingham:
|
William Booth, the
founder of the Salvation Army, was born in Nottingham in
1829. This is spiritually related to the green horse, since the green
horse comes to
raise an army of young buccaneers who will complete the
Church's redemption (i.e.- salvation) from the soul matriarchy.
|
|
The "caves of Nottingham" are a network of
caves that once acted as home to a large proportion of the city's poorer
people, particularly those involved in the tanning industry. These caves
were gradually abandoned during the 18th and 19th centuries, but they
were used again during World War 2 as bomb shelters during the Nazi air
raids (in the Battle of Britain, discussed
below). All of this is spiritually related to the green horse, since
green-horse riders are sent to "Sheol caves" upon death. God prepares
"Fort-Wayne" caves for them where they can take (uncomfortable but
relatively peaceful) shelter as judgment rains outside (as was the case
with Noah during the flood). The fact that
the Nottingham caves were populated by workers in the tanning industry
points to what the Lord had us share recently regarding "tanning"
and the "stowaway" green-horse anointing. God's spiritual "tanners" are
those who live by the sea and who see the mighty hidden potential in the
sea before them. Only those who see this potential will make the brave
crossing across the meadow to reach the lonely log cabin out in the
middle of nowhere.

The English mathematician
George Green was born in what is now part
of the city of Nottingham on July 14, 1793 (the 4th anniversary of
Bastille Day). George Green made great contributions in mathematics and
physics, which are all the more amazing when you consider that he only had 1
year of formal schooling as a child, between the ages of 8 and 9; he was
almost entirely self-taught. In 1828, around the age of
35, he wrote a very important essay entitled
"An Essay on the Applications of Mathematical Analysis to the Theories
of Electricity and Magnetism", which
introduced powerful new concepts that Green came to understand as he
studied math on his own. It is unclear to historians how Green learned
so much math in order to produce such wonderful new ideas, especially
since he lived in a city that had so few "intellectual resources".
When Green published his essay, he did so at his own expense, and he
sold it on a subscription basis to just 51 people, most of them friends
who probably could not understand it. A mathematician named Edward
Bromhead bought one of the copies, and he encouraged Green to do more
math work, promising Green that he would help him in his mathematical
endeavors. Green did not take Bromhead's offer seriously, so he did not
contact him for 2 years. When he finally did, Bromhead
enabled him to enter Cambridge University in 1833 at the age of 40.
He excelled in his studies, graduated in 1837, and became part of the
faculty at Gonville and Caius College. He did much work in physics that
dealt with sound (acoustics), light (optics), and water (hydrodynamics).
He died a premature death 4 years later, in 1841, at age 47, 44 days
before his 48th birthday. Green's work was not well-known during his
lifetime. Some 5 years after his death, in 1846, Green's work was
"rediscovered" by Lord Kelvin, who brought it to light for future
generations. George Green created the idea of "potential functions", a
concept that has become instrumental in physics to define the influence
of invisible vector fields such as gravitational and electromagnetic
fields over the surrounding atmosphere.
George Green was forced to learn math on his
own. George Green's life, therefore, is a prophetic figure of a believer
who grows up and receives spiritual impartations
in the lonely
black-horse wilderness before returning to "Jerusalem" to die as a
green-horse rider. The fact that he entered university at the age of 40
speaks of a believer who makes the transition from "39" to "40" and who
enters into the Promised Land of his calling. His work on
sound,
light,
and water speaks of believers who break the
sound barrier in the
black-horse wilderness and who break the
light barrier as they enter
into the fullness of their green-horse calling; as they do this, they
enable the gushing forth of God's
mighty River, the revival River that
will inundate the Earth in these latter days, as described in Ezekiel
47. "Coincidentally", Green died at age 47, 44
days short of his 48th birthday. The number "48" points to
Ezekiel 48, which speaks of God's New Jerusalem and His
shamah
presence being established on Earth. Therefore, the fact that George
Green died
44
days before reaching his 48th birthday points to "Elisha-type"
green-horse witnesses (Hebrews 11:39-12:1) who die before seeing the
fulfillment of the Promise (2
Kings 13:20-21). The fact that Green's work was brought to
light after his death is a figure of how the bones of "Elisha-type"
witnesses are unearthed after their death to unleash the anointing that
remained "unreleased" prior to their death. This is also the
reason why Green's mathematical work was "rediscovered" after his death
by Lord Kelvin.
The 2 years that Green went without
contacting Bromhead are a figure of the 2 years during which the chief
butler forgot about Joseph, leaving him to languish in prison,
undiscovered by the world for another season (Genesis 40:20-41:1). There was
something inside of Green himself that was preventing the
green-horse
Joseph within him from being manifested. Once he overcame the "chief
butler" within him, Green was enabled to do more mathematical work. The
"chief butler" benefited from Joseph's gifts when Joseph interpreted his
dream, but he was unable to realize how Joseph's potential was unfairly
wasting away in prison. It was only until he became aware of that
potential that he worked to get Joseph out of prison. In the same way,
it was only until Simon Peter saw the potential in the "sea of Gentiles"
that he worked to release that potential (Acts 10-11). Therefore, it is no
coincidence that God used George Green to develop the concept of "potential
functions", which measure the invisible energy potential
established over the surrounding atmosphere by vector fields such as
gravitational and electromagnetic fields.

Nottingham is said to be the birthplace of
the legendary Robin Hood. As
indicated on
wikipedia.org, the figure of Robin Hood represents an "outlaw" who
is out to fight the tyranny and injustice of the "establishment". At
times, he is portrayed as a rebel who delights in bloodshed, a cruel
slaughterer who rejoices in beheading his victims. All of this
correlates with the green horse, since green-horse
riders are
havoc-wreaking
buccaneer "outlaws" who are out to
obliterate the
soul's
matriarchy; they belong to the lonely "iPods"
of believers whose robes are "bloody" because they are treading the
winepress of God's wrath (Isaiah
63:3-6); these green-horse riders are not tainted by a
compromised
human
mercy that does not require a
total
sacrifice of self.
The spiritual connection between "Robin
Hood" and the green horse is
emphasized by the fact that there is a commemorative statue of Robin
Hood on "Castle Green" in
Nottingham.

Nottingham is the place where Charles 1
raised his royal standard in 1642, which marked the beginning of the "English
Civil War", a series of armed conflicts between defenders of
Parliamentary authority and defenders of expanded royal authority. The
English Civil War led to the beheading of Charles 1, to the rise to power
of Oliver Cromwell, and to a brief period of non-monarchical rule in
England, Scotland, and Ireland. All of this is once again related to the
green horse of the Apocalypse, since, as we have studied
before, the rejection of God's green-horse riders leads to God
decreeing a "civil war" that forces people
to decide which side they will support.
A close study of this period
in British history reveals that it was a prophetic figure of the dethroning of the
pastoral matriarchy and the ascension of David in these latter days (Ezekiel
37:24). As
David is
manifested, the rule of human kings will end and God's Kingship will be
manifested over a people who will freely
walk in the
kingly authority of the Spirit, with no hierarchical castes or soulish
limitations on God's Spirit nature. The "Charles 1" spirit (i.e.-
the spirit of
Charlemagne) shall most definitely fall.

English writer D.H. Lawrence was born in
Eastwood, Nottinghamshire, an industrial mining town some 6 miles west
of Nottingham; as a teenager, he attended Nottingham High School in
Nottingham. D.H. Lawrence was born on September 11, 1885, and died on
March 2, 1930, at the young age of 44. Even though D.H. Lawrence was a
man with many talents, he was a loose cannon who never quite entered
into the fullness of God's calling for his life. He is an example of a
green-horse Joseph "gone
Yusuf". He abhorred institutionalized
religiosity, but he was never able to
submit his soul under the Lordship
of God, which rendered much of his
rebellion useless.
As we studied in a
previous posting, a
contrast of David versus Hezekiah reveals the contrast
between the life of a "narrow-gate" believer (David)
versus a
wide-gate believer (Hezekiah). Therefore, it is not a spiritual
coincidence that Lawrence's initials are "D.H.". His life was a mixture
of a David ("D") who would
not conform to human paradigms and a Hezekiah
("H") who wanted God's paradigms to conform to his.
In real life, the initials "D.H." stand for
the names "David Herbert". According to a
names-meaning website, the name "Herbert" is of Norman origin, and
it is a combination of two Germanic words meaning "army" and "bright".
Therefore, it points to the green-horse army
of buccaneer believers who cross the "bright"
light barrier. As we have said before, the name "David" speaks of God's
faithful remnant, the remnant that goes through all 4 Apocalypse-horse
stages. Therefore, the names "David Herbert" point to the powerful
spiritual calling on D.H. Lawrence's life. He was called to be a mighty
green-horse warrior that was to unleash massive chaos in the spirit
realm in order to further God's purposes on Earth. However, his
inability to distinguish between man's restrictions and God's
restrictions led to a life that never saw him blossom in the fullness of
his calling. That is the reason why he is known to literary buffs by his
initials ("D.H."), not by his full name ("David Herbert"), which speaks
of a rose that never opened up and blossomed.
It is no spiritual coincidence that D.H.
Lawrence was born on September 11, 1885.
That date is now
associated with Hittite terror and
green-horse
sacrificial death for others. Therefore, D.H. Lawrence's birth date
emphasizes the strong green-horse impartation on his life, an
impartation he carried from birth. Thus, it is no coincidence that one
of D.H.
Lawrence's critical works was instrumental in the revival of the literary reputation of
Herman Melville (the author of Moby-Dick) during the 1920s, since, as we
have studied
before, Moby-Dick is strongly related to the manifestation of the
green horse of the Apocalypse and the latter rain. Notice again how
green-horse riders have this tendency to have their work "revived after
death".
During his life pilgrimage, D.H. Lawrence
lived in New Mexico, USA, for a few years, with brief incursions into
Mexico. He became enamored with Mexico's Indian culture, which prompted
him to write the 1926 novel "The Plumed Serpent". As we have shared
before, the native peoples of Latin America are serpent worshippers,
which reveals Latin America's strong connection to the
Hivite-Korah spirit. Since D.H. Lawrence was never able to enter
into the full truth of his green-horse calling, he began to "fraternize"
with the green-horse's main enemy,
Korah. Rather than desire that America turn into a "New England",
he began to long for America to turn into a "New Mexico". He fell
under the spell of
self-deceived
Korah, and the green-horse "David
Herbert" that was inside of "D.H." sadly died without ever being
manifested, like an aborted fetus that never saw
the light of day.
D.H. understood that there was something
missing in his life, but he was unable to understand what it was. He was tired of the stifling nature of institutionalized
"Christianity" in Europe, but, instead of submitting to God to hear His
voice, he tried to rejuvenate "Christianity" with earlier, tribal
religions. He was looking for the "dark side" of the anointing that we
have studied
before, the dark side that green-horse riders do not shy away from,
but he looked for it in pagan religions that were contaminated with
Korah self-deceit. His last significant work before his death was a
spirited reflection on the book of Revelation, entitled "Apocalypse".
This sad last grasp for truth reveals that D.H. was a man in search of
truth; he was a buccaneer who rebelled against the structures of man,
but he never understood that his rebellion had to be against the
dominance of the soul over the spirit. Because of this, he became a
"loose-cannon" buccaneer who did not enter into the true fullness of his
fractal, green-horse calling. In that sense, D.H. Lawrence was like
the prophetic
movement of the 1960s that degenerated into purposeless
"hippie-ness".

From all of the above, it is overwhelmingly
evident that Nottingham
is spiritually related to the green
horse of the Apocalypse. Therefore, the
fact that there is a region in Nottinghamshire named "Meadows" reveals that
the "meadow" in sister Cindy's dream points to the trials of green-horse riders and to
the United Kingdom.

In the dream, sister Cindy and Matthew were
being attacked by snakes
as she ran through the meadow. These snakes are a figure of the
Hivite-Korah
serpents that rejoice in attacking God's green-horse riders when they see
them exposed in vulnerability.

The pouring rainwater got up to the level of
sister Cindy's knees.
Some weeks ago, I was prompted to reread
what we had said
about the 4 water levels described in Ezekiel 47, the chapter that speaks of
the outpouring of God's River upon the Earth. To be honest with you, I was
surprised when I read something that I myself had typed. It felt as if I was
reading someone else's words, yet those were the words which, for some
reason, God had prompted us to post: The level of the River of God will be
knee-high during the 2012 London Olympics. Therefore, sister Cindy's
reference to "knees" points to the work that God continues to do in the "UK
meadow".
In a more general sense, the "knees" are also a
figure of spiritual endurance under the duress of God's processes in our
lives. Hebrews chapter 12 begins with a reference to the cloud of
green-horse witnesses; it then proceeds to talk about the judgments of the
Father, and it goes on to make a reference on "feeble knees" and on not
regressing before the Promised Land is reached:
"11Now
no chastening for the present
seemeth to be joyous, but grievous:
nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto
them which are exercised thereby. 12Wherefore
lift up the hands which hang
down, and the feeble knees;
13And make straight paths for your feet, lest that which is lame
be turned out of the way; but let it rather be healed. 14Follow
peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord:
15Looking
diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God;
lest any root of
bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled;
16Lest there be any fornicator, or profane person, as Esau, who
for one morsel of meat sold his birthright. 17For ye know how
that afterward, when he would have inherited the blessing, he was rejected:
for he found no place of repentance, though he sought it carefully with
tears." (Hebrews 12:11-17)
The phrase "lift up" in verse 12 is a
mistranslation of the Greek verb anorthoo, which means "to make
straight". The phrase "hang down", on the other hand, was mistranslated from
the verb pariemi, which means "to relax, loose, let pass, neglect".
Therefore, verse 12 speaks of staying on the straight path towards the
Promised Land, without relenting despite the pressure of God's mishpat
processes.
As God performs His judgments, not only
upon you, but upon others, you will have to suffer on account of those
judgments, even when those judgments are not directed at you. As you stand
for the righteousness of God on Earth and as
a
conduit of His restoring wrath, you will incur the wrath of the ones
upon whom you have brought judgments and who refuse to yield to
righteousness, and you will face "collateral
discomfort"
as those around you are judged, as was the case with Noah, who had to endure
12 months and 10 days of discomfort inside the Ark while the world was being
judged and cleansed outside. The persecution by the unrighteous and the
collateral discomfort can turn into an almost overwhelming weight pressuring
you to give up on being an instrument of God on Earth.
As we have shared
before,
God's green-horse "Waynes" are subjected to a constant "dribble" of sorrows
that accumulate into a "red bucket" that occasionally overflows,
producing moments of great despair and sadness. As a green-horse rider, you
will be called to bear judgments, not only for your own sake, but for the
sake of others, and, at times, you will feel your knees buckling under the
intense pressure. At times, you will feel
bitterness accumulating in your
heart, and you will feel like asking God, "Why? Why do I have to go
through all of this? I know I have a price to pay, but this seems like it is
going way over the line! I sow and I sow and there is no harvest! Why, God,
why?". In the intensity of your sorrow, your soul will be blinded to
the workings in the spirit realm being produced by your sorrow. You will
momentarily lose the awareness of what God is doing through your life, and
your soul will become enveloped by total darkness. You will have no idea as
to what will be of you; your soul will become engulfed by complete
uncertainty. That is when God will say to you, "Believe
without seeing; do not be a doubting Thomas; I am your only hope."
You will feel like giving up on your calling, and you will want a "normal"
life, the type of life "regular people" live, not the ocean of bitter sorrows
that your life has apparently become. That is when God will say the
following to you:
"1Brethren, if a
man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such an one in
the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted.
2Bear ye one
another’s burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ.
3For if a man think himself to be something, when he is nothing,
he deceiveth himself. 4But let every man prove his own work, and
then shall he have rejoicing in himself alone, and not in another. 5For
every man shall bear his own burden. 6Let him that is taught in
the word communicate unto him that teacheth in all good things. 7Be
not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he
also reap. 8For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh
reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap
life everlasting. 9And
let us not be weary in well
doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.
10As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men,
especially unto them who are of the household of faith." (Galatians 6:1-10)
"33But seek ye
first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall
be added unto you. 34Take
therefore no thought for the morrow:
for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself.
Sufficient unto the day is the
evil thereof." (Matthew
6:33-34)
[Sometimes, we must take
one step at a time in complete darkness, and we must rest assured that
God knows what He is doing and that He will take us to our destination and
reward us for our works. All we must do is make sure that we are operating
in His will (v33). If we ask for wisdom, He will give it to us, and He will
provide the way towards the good destination He has for us.]
"20And the
herdmen of Gerar did strive with Isaac’s herdmen, saying, The water is ours:
and he called the name of the well Esek; because they strove with him.
21And they digged another well, and strove for that also: and he
called the name of it Sitnah. 22And he removed from thence, and
digged another well; and for that they strove not: and he called the name of
it Rehoboth; and he said, For now the LORD hath made room for us, and we
shall be fruitful in the land. 23And he went up from thence to
Beersheba. 24And
the LORD appeared unto him the
same night, and said, I am the God of Abraham thy father: fear not, for I am
with thee, and will bless thee, and multiply thy seed for my servant
Abraham’s sake. 25And
he builded an altar there, and called upon the name of the LORD, and pitched
his tent there: and there Isaac’s servants digged a well." (Genesis
26:20-25)
[The word "Esek" in verse 20 means "contention"; the name "Sitnah"
at the end of verse 21 means "strife, enmity" and is derived from the Hebrew
word satan meaning "to act as an adversary, resist, oppose". In the
middle of the oppression from the enemy, the Lord said to Isaac, "I am the
God of Abraham your father; fear not, for I will bless you and fulfill My
Promise to you" (v24). The Lord appeared to Him "at night", which speaks
of the night we must go through before we can see the dawn of His Day.]
"11Therefore
the redeemed of the LORD shall return, and come with singing unto Zion; and
everlasting joy shall be upon their head: they shall obtain gladness and
joy; and sorrow and
mourning shall flee away.
12I, even I,
am he that comforteth you: who art thou, that thou shouldest be afraid of a
man that shall die, and of the son of man which shall be made as grass;
13And forgettest the LORD thy maker, that hath stretched forth
the heavens, and laid the foundations of the earth; and
hast feared continually every
day because of the fury of the oppressor, as if he were ready to destroy?
and where is the fury of the oppressor? 14The captive exile
hasteneth that he may be loosed, and that he should not die in the pit, nor
that his bread should fail. 15But I am the LORD thy God, that
divided the sea, whose waves roared: The LORD of hosts is his name. 16And
I have put my words in
thy mouth, and I have covered thee in the shadow of mine hand, that I may
plant the heavens, and lay the foundations of the earth, and say unto Zion,
Thou art my people."
(Isaiah 51:11-16)
Fellow believer, you can rest assured that, at
your moment of greatest vulnerability, as you lay prostrate on the ground in
utter weakness,
the Korah snakes will come against you to destroy you, just as Amalek did
with the people of Israel. By doing so, however, these Korah snakes are
sealing their own doom:
"17Remember what
Amalek did unto thee by the way, when ye were come forth out of Egypt;
18How he met thee
by the way, and smote the hindmost of thee, even all that were feeble behind
thee, when thou wast faint and weary; and he feared not God.
19Therefore it shall be, when the LORD thy God hath given thee
rest from all thine enemies round about, in the land which the LORD thy God
giveth thee for an inheritance to possess it, that
thou shalt blot out the
remembrance of Amalek from under heaven; thou shalt not forget it."
(Deuteronomy 25:17-19)
Therefore, do not allow your knees to buckle as
the Amalek snakes come against you. "Make your knees straight", and do not
be negligent about the task that God places before you. The word
pariemi in Hebrews 12:12 (quoted above) is
derived from the words para meaning "besides, near" and hiemi
meaning "to send". Therefore, it speaks of "sending yourself aside",
of "sidelining yourself"; it speaks of
dismissing yourself from the road appointed by God for you, of placing
yourself "by the wayside" and becoming an idle bystander who is no longer
engaged in his or her assigned spiritual task. As you stand faithful in God,
He will show you what spiritual tasks you must perform; sometimes, those
tasks will seem "mundane" or "secular" in their nature, but you will know in
your knower that those tasks have deep spiritual overtones. As long as you
are not negligent about the task that God places before you each day, you
will be secure in Him, and He will give you the strength to "make straight"
(anorthoo) your knees when you feel that the
burden is just too heavy for you.
The Korah rattlesnakes will make every effort to
rattle you from your peace in God. They will tell you to run when you must
wait, and they will tell you to wait when you must run. They will question
your actions and decisions in God, telling you that things are "black" when
you know that they are "white", and telling you that they are "white" when
you know that they are "black". When this happens, do as Moses did before
Korah (Numbers 16:4-5), and allow God to vindicate you before your enemies.
Do not worry about man and what he has to say. Do not worry about man
and what he can do to you (Isaiah 51:13).
God will take care of everything. He is your refuge and your strength. Do
argue with Cain (for a season), but do not argue with Korah, for his
judgments are
based on emotions.
He has deceived his heart and mind into believing certain things, and he
will hold on to those beliefs regardless of the evidence you present before
him. Korah will only believe the arguments that allow the soul to "prevail" over the Spirit. When it comes to Korah,
only God's vindicating actions will "prove" you right.
"10Finally, my
brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. 11Put
on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles
of the devil. 12For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but
against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness
of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. 13Wherefore
take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in
the evil day, and
having done all, to stand."
(Ephesians 6:10-13)

In the dream, Matthew is bitten by one of the
snakes, and he lets out a wail. Even so, there is no bite mark on him and
he
lives. This is a figure of how satan tried to destroy America's spiritual
calling, just as he did with
latin america's spiritual calling. Even though
he succeeded in
delaying America's latter-rain revival, he was unable to
destroy it, due to an invisible army of faithful remnant believers who are
shedding their lives (in various ways) so that God's glory may be seen in
America and the world.
Matthew's
wail is a prophetic figure of the wail
that God's enemies shall let out. Just as they have caused God's remnant to
wail in agony through their piercing bites, they themselves shall wail upon
the Lord's vindicating visitation:
"Behold,
he cometh with clouds;
and every eye shall see him, and
they also which pierced him:
and all kindreds of the earth
shall wail because of him"
(Revelation 1:7)

In the dream, the log cabin in the meadow looked
small from a distance but proved to be
huge when seen from up close.
As we said above, the "meadow" points to the UK (and
Ireland). Therefore, the log cabin's small size from a distance speaks of
how the UK's and Europe's spiritual calling seems so small from a distance
(i.e.- when seen from
the American religious perspective), but it is huge
when you
travel across the ocean in the Spirit --- under the
black- and green-horse
anointing --- and see it
up close.
The log cabin seemed to be built for a person
who was 8 to 9 feet
tall. This points to several things:
|
As we have said before, the number "8"
speaks of "Noah-style"
regeneration, and the number "9" speaks of
dynamis power, which is spiritually related to resurrection:
"10That I may
know him, and the
power of his resurrection,
and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his
death; 11If by any means I might attain unto the
resurrection of the dead."
(Philippians 3:10-11)
[The word "power" in verse 10 was
translated from the Greek word dynamis]
Therefore, the phrase "8 to 9" speaks of
believers who are willing to go through Noah-style regeneration ("8"),
which implies the utter devastation of all that is not of God (as
happened with Noah's flood) in order to start anew. After the death and
devastation, God's resurrection life is manifested, and it is manifested
in His dynamis power ("9"). Those who believe in regeneration
unto resurrection power ("8 to 9") are the very giants for whom the log
cabin in the meadow was built.

Interestingly enough, George Green (who, as
we said above, was born in
Nottingham) only had 1 year of
formal schooling before attending university at the age of 40, and, that
year, he was between the ages of 8 and 9. As we said
above, the spiritual "George
Green"s are believers who "die" before seeing the fulfillment of the
Promise. Through their lives, they leave a porthole in the meadow, a
porthole in the form of a window inside a log cabin, a porthole we must run towards in
order to fulfill the Promise. By running towards the porthole, we become
"George Green"s ourselves.
The land of the UK has seen the death of
many "George Green"s who have sown into it with their very lives. To the
naked eye, their sacrifice seems insignificantly
small, but those who operate in the Spirit become aware of
how great the
potential harvest is.
|
|
Interestingly enough, the numbers 8 and 9
combine into the number 17 (8 + 9), which, as we have said
before, is a
figure of God's manifested remnant. In other words, for the remnant and
the latter rain to be manifested, there must be a regeneration process
that takes us through death and onto resurrection.
|
|
The number 8 is equal to 2 cubed (23
= 2 x 2 x 2), and the number 9 is equal to 3 squared (32
= 3 x 3). As we have studied
before, there are 3 "male" ministries and 2 "female" ministries.
Therefore, the number "8" (23 = 2 x 2 x 2) speaks of
believers travailing to operate in the 3 "male" ministry anointings,
even while the 2 "female" ministries remain dominant due to the
pastoral matriarchy. In this context, the number "9" (32 = 3 x 3) speaks
of the downfall of the pastoral matriarchy, which allows the 3 "male"
ministry anointings to be fully manifested, submitting the 2 "female"
ministries to make them "wash the
tired feet" of the believers who are willing
to wage war in the 3 "male" ministry anointings; as they wash "male"
feet, the "female" ministries shall become mighty enablers rather than
hinderers of God's people.

As I would meditate on this dream, a thought
that began to creep into my heart and mind was the word "Meadowlands".
There is a region in the state of New Jersey (US) that is known as the
"Meadowlands". NFL fans know it as the site of "Giants Stadium", the stadium
where the New York Giants play their home games. According to
wikipedia.org,
the Meadowlands stretch along the last part of the Hackensack and Passaic
Rivers as they flow into Newark Bay. For reasons which I do not completely
comprehend, I get a personal sense of "dread" and "sadness" every time I
consider the possible connection between the "Meadowlands" and this dream.
Here are some thoughts to consider regarding the Meadowlands and sister
Cindy's dream:
|
"Giants Stadium" correlates with the log
cabin in the dream, since it was built for a person 8-9 feet tall, i.e.-
a giant. In a sense, the stadium (along with the rest of the
Meadowlands Sports Complex) stands as an isolated construction in the
middle of nowhere.
|
|
Even though Giants Stadium is in the state
of New Jersey, it is the home stadium for the New York Giants
(along with the New York Jets). As we have said
before, New
York is to be the epicenter of the latter-rain revival in America.
|
|
Much of the cities of Newark and
Elizabeth, New Jersey were built on land that was reclaimed,
drained, or added from the Meadowlands wetlands.
The name "Newark" is a
prophetic reference to the "Ark of the New Covenant", which shall be
openly manifested as the latter-rain revival breaks out (Revelation
11:19). Interestingly enough, there is a market town
in Nottinghamshire, England that is called "Newark" which is
located along the River Trent (its official name is "Newark-on-Trent").
According to
wikipedia.org, the city of Newark, New Jersey was founded by
pilgrims from Newark-on-Trent. This is not a spiritual
coincidence.
The name
"Elizabeth", on the other hand, points to the mother of John the Baptist
(Luke 1:57-66), i.e.- the woman who gave birth to the one who would pave
the way for the Lord (Luke 3:1-6). Present day Elizabeth, New Jersey is a town
overrun by the Latin American spirit (according to
wikipedia.org, around 50% of the population is Hispanic). As you
walk through downtown Elizabeth, you can see many historic buildings
that take you back to American Revolutionary times, to times when religiously
zealous descendants of English immigrants lived in "Elizabethtown" (its
original name) and saw it as a Godly outpost of freedom and opportunity
in a New World. Unfortunately, Latin American immigrants (a great deal
of them illegal) walk by these
buildings every day with no regard for their historical value, with no
understanding of or interest in the spiritual seeds that have been sown
into that town. The prophetic promise sown in Elizabeth, therefore,
remains interred. This is a figure of how America allowed the
latter-rain revival to be delayed due to its casual disregard for the
spiritual influence
transported by illegal Latin American immigration
into America. A town from
which a mighty anointing was to emerge has become a town overrun by
people more interested in the American dollar than in invisible laws and
ideals.

Giants Stadium in the Meadowlands opened on
October 10, 1976 with a game in which the New York Giants lost to
the Dallas Cowboys 24-14. This inauguration game has prophetic
significance. As we have shared
before, the
city of Dallas is a stronghold of the ministerial-reverence spirit in
America. Some 8 or 9 months ago, as I was walking down the street, the
Lord suddenly spoke to my heart and said, "New York has turned into a
Dallas". My heart became filled with dread as I heard those words,
because I understood that the "New York" revival anointing in America
had been taken over by the "Dallas" spirit of ministerial reverence. In
the Giants' debut in the Meadowlands, Dallas scored 24 points, and, as
we have seen
before, the number "24" speaks of "elders". New York, on the other
hand, scored 14 points, and, as we have seen before, the number "14"
speaks of a hidden or non-manifested remnant. Therefore, the 24-14 win
by Dallas over New York speaks of how the "Dallas" ministerial elders in
America were able to suppress the remnant's manifestation, keeping it
hidden.
As we have said
before, America's 4-year
revival delay was sealed on December 23, 2005, which ensured that
New York would remain a stagnant marshland until May 2009. Had America
not forced the December 23, 2005 decree, New York would have been a
quiet and safe haven of God's anointing in America, even while the rest
of America remained in spiritual stagnation and some judgment.
Interestingly enough, December 23, 2005 is exactly 10666 days
after October 10, 1976 (10/10/1976), the date of Giants Stadium's
official opening. In other words, when it was time to give God the
tithe ("10"), America allowed the spirit of the beast ("666"),
i.e.- the spirit of ministerial reverence, to surface and
devour the remnant.
It is worth noting that sister Cindy emailed
this dream to us exactly 4 days after December 23, 2005, on December
27.
Even though this dream is strongly related to the spiritual events that
happened on December 23, God delayed its delivery to us for 4 days, 1
day for each year that America's revival had been delayed.

On November 15, 2005, Robert Tisch, a 50%
owner of the New York Giants passed away. Exactly 21 days earlier, on
October 25, 2005, Wellington Mara, the Giants' other co-owner had also
passed away. This is no spiritual coincidence. Through the death of the
2 Giants co-owners, God was declaring the
death of the
2-witness "New York Giants" that were going to emerge in America in
2005, a death provoked by America's unwillingness to
remove the cadavers
of the "Dallas" ministers. Both of the Giants owners who passed away
were men deeply appreciated in the Giants organization and by sports
fans in the New York metropolitan area.
Tisch's death happened exactly 38
days before December 23, 2005. This has spiritual significance. As we
have said before, the number "38" speaks of the generation of Israelites
who perished in the desert without entering the Promised Land. America
had reached "39", and was on the verge of entering "40", but she became
stuck at "39", which led to a
regression back to "38".
After Solomon, God split the kingdom of Israel
into 2 kingdoms, the southern kingdom of "Judah" and the northern kingdom
of "Israel" or "Samaria". Each of these failed "sub-kingdoms" had
exactly 19 kings each, meaning that they both had a total of 38 kings.
Therefore, the number "38" speaks of people who remain under the rule of
human kings and who therefore fail to enter into the fullness of God's
kingship (as opposed to man's kingship).
Robert Tisch's full name was "Preston
Robert Tisch", but everyone knew him as "Robert" or "Bob", meaning that
his "Preston" first name remained "hidden". As we have studied
before,
"Preston" speaks of a spiritual "priest town" where God's remnant can
take refuge and thrive in their Melchizedek priesthood. New York was
destined to become a "Preston" in 2005, but New York's
selfish indifference and
America's rejection of God's anti-matriarchal purposes prevented
this from happening. Because of this, New York's "Preston" calling died
without it being manifested in 2005.
Wellington Mara, the Giants owner who died
on October 25, 2005, was the son of team founder "Timothy
J. Mara". Robert Tisch, the owner who died on November 15, 2005, had
bought 50% of the Giants from Tim Mara, Wellington Mara's nephew
shortly after the Giants beat Buffalo Bills in Super Bowl 25
(both the Giants and the Bills represent cities in New York state).
These facts point both to the number "25" and to the name "Timothy".
As we have studied
before, the number "25" speaks of people operating in the
abundance
of ministerial grace. After reaching "25", we are called to progress on
to "30", the stage where we make ourselves vulnerable, even in the midst
of all the ministerial grace that has been endowed to us. Because the
American Church's ministers chose to rejoice in their ministerial grace
("25") and refused to recognize that they were as
weak and
vulnerable as the "average" believer ("30"), the latter-rain revival
process that was to start in 2005 was aborted. Therefore, it is
no spiritual coincidence that the name "Timothy" is also involved here.
As we have shared
before, the name "Timothy" points to God's "little"
people whose callings are often
aborted by
a matriarchal Church that is comfortable being a "Bethesda
pool" full of lame Perizzite believers who are dependent on their "angelic"
ministers. In 2005, the Lord was raising the
belittled
"spirit of
Timothy"
to topple the American Church's matriarchal pastors, but the American
Church chose to stick with her pastors, pushing the "spirit of Timothy"
aside. By aborting Timothy's emergence out of
religious caution, the American Church aborted its own restoration
and revival. Just as Scott Norwood missed the last-minute field goal
that would have given Buffalo the victory in Super Bowl 25,
America blew her 2005 opportunity to enter into the
fullness of God's Glory, without the need for the rain of judgments
which shall pound her until May 2009. America's "doubting Tom" attitude
hindered the manifestation of God's "trusting Tim".
Even though
the 2005 "emergence of Timothy" was aborted, "Timothy" himself was not.
Even though satan tried to "nip God's purposes in the bud", the "rose"
was born, and it remains closed and "stowed away" in a
"meadow warehouse"; despite satan's efforts, the rose
shall open up and blossom before all, and America's atmosphere shall be
filled with the overwhelming glory of God.
Meadows are grasslands that are often used
for pastures and growing hay. Interestingly enough, there is a type of
grass that is grown for hay called "Timothy grass". According to
wikipedia.org,
Timothy grass is an abundant perennial grass native to most of Europe,
except for the Mediterranean region, and it was accidentally
introduced to North America by early settlers. Timothy grass is very
similar to the "Meadow Foxtail", which (according to
wikipedia.org)
is a perennial grass that is native to Europe and Asia. When the
"Timothy" grass from the European side is rejected, the "Meadow Foxtail"
from the Asian side will attack with fox-like astuteness.

During World War 2, rubble from London
created by the Battle of Britain was dumped in the Meadowlands in
ships that returned from Europe, which used the rubble as ballast. As
indicated on
wikipedia.org, the Battle of Britain refers to the aerial battle
waged in the skies over Britain between the UK's Royal Air Force (RAF)
and the Nazi's Luftwaffe. During this battle, which lasted between July
1940 and May 1941, the Nazis were trying to gain aerial superiority over
Britain by "bombarding it into submission", in preparation for an
invasion of Britain from the continent.
On August 20, 1940,
Churchill uttered the phrase "Never in the field of human conflict
was so much owed by so many to so few". Because of this, the
brave British pilots who fought in the Battle of Britain became known as
"The Few". As "The Few" battled bravely, and as the British
people
endured the enemy's bombardment with apostolic fortitude, Britain's
cousin across the Atlantic remained idle. It did provide some logistical
support, but it was unwilling to sacrifice its blood for the sake of
people so far away, people whose value they failed to perceive. Even as
New York and America beheld all the rubble that was being shipped from
London to the Meadowlands, America remained out of the war. By June
1941, the brunt of the battle was over, and Britain was able to
withstand the Luftwaffe's onslaught. Even then, America was
cautiously reluctant about involvement in the war. God then sent "Yusufs"
in the form of Japanese planes as a humiliating judgment against America
for its
spiritual negligence. These planes struck Pearl Harbor on December
7, 1941, some 5 to 6 months after the Battle of Britain had ended, and
America finally got up from its
slothful
slumber to do what it was supposed to have done from the very beginning.
This story has repeated itself all over
again. There is a small remnant --- "The Few" --- waging a mighty and
painful aerial battle in the spirit realm, and yet America has remained
indifferent to them, choosing instead to
enable the unrighteous. Why?
Because helping the unrighteous is "politically helpful" and is no
threat to the Church's matriarchal structures. By contrast, enabling
"The Few" would signify the destruction of the pastoral matriarchy that
America's "ministers" depend on to maintain their control over the
Church. Therefore, these "Few" continue to fight this battle unaided,
and the brunt of their efforts is now helping to clear the skies over
Europe from satan's "Nazi" influence. Because of America's spiritual
indifference, the UK (and Europe) have been
forced
to pay a price that they were not supposed to pay (because America
had already paid it, but she demanded the refund of that
payment). As these brave "Few" battle on, God is sending Yusufs to
America who will attack her from behind. During World War 2, America was
indifferent to her responsibilities across the Atlantic, so God opened
the door for an attack from the Pacific. In the same way, the American
Church was indifferent to what God wanted to do across the Atlantic in
2005, so America will be attacked from the Pacific (i.e.- the
"peaceful") side, from the California side. The enemy's 9/11 attack
against America was on her right
side, the Atlantic side, because it was an attack provoked by America's
righteousness. The coming "turban
attack" against America shall be on her
left side, the Pacific side, because it is an attack provoked
by America's unrighteous indifference, an indifference which has made
her leave
her responsibilities by the wayside.

The New Jersey Meadowlands are more "marshlands"
or "wetlands"
than they are "meadowlands", and they have generally been
discarded as "wastelands" by most people in the neighboring area. After
World War 2, they continued to be used for the disposal of civilian
waste. If it weren't for Giants Stadium, the Meadowlands would remain in
international anonymity, and those who would know about them would
merely see them as "wastelands". This tragic state reveals how America
has unknowingly discarded its mighty remnant calling. Unlike the green
meadows of the UK, the "meadowlands" of America have literally been
mired in stagnation and isolation. Even so, a "Giants Stadium" stands in
the middle of that desolation, a lonely giant house that serves as
guarantee that God will restore America despite herself. |

As sister Cindy made her way to the cabin, she
noticed that neither she nor Matthew were wet, despite the fact that they
had been running in the pouring rain. This is a figure of how God's rain of
"separation judgments" are not directed at His faithful remnant. The
remnant's believers' souls may suffer attacks from the enemy as the rain of
judgments comes, but they have an
inner shield that
protects their spiritual
calling, even in the midst of satan's attacks, for the enemy may kill the
body, but he cannot destroy our calling (unless we hand it over in return
for a morsel of fleeting comfort). If you are running towards the log cabin,
God will make sure that the rain itself does not harm you, for He will only
direct that rain at those who refuse to heed His call to seek His
shelter, not the shelter of man. His Paradise shelter can only be found as
we are willing to die in Him.
This also explains why the rainwater did not get
inside the cabin, despite the fact that the windows had no glass in them.
The log cabin was a
simple,
temporary place of refuge for God's remnant, and it was spiritually designed
to
shield them from the brunt of the judgments outside.
|
|
The log cabin had two floors. This points to the
first "2 days" that we spend in Sheol after we "die".
The huge window at the
top of the stairs represents our 3rd-day exit from Sheol. When I visualize
this dream in my mind, I see a very dark log cabin with a bright light at
the huge window, like the
light at the end of a very dark tunnel. As you cross through that
bright
window, you cross the light barrier and make the
quantum
leap into the resurrection realm.
Sister Cindy woke up from her dream when she
reached the window. This "waking up" speaks of the state of life and
alertness we enter into in the resurrection realm. We are
truly alive
when we are walking in the spirit realm.
The 2 floors inside the log cabin also point to
the "double-whammy"
judgments that God unleashes upon Korah and his supporters. After the
remnant reaches the log cabin's first floor, the first wave of "flooring judgments" is
unleashed. After the remnant reaches the second floor, the second wave is
unleashed.

Sister Cindy's
dream also correlates with the rescue of Joash from the hands of Athaliah:
"1And
when Athaliah
the mother of Ahaziah saw that her son was dead,
she arose and destroyed all
the seed royal. 2But
Jehosheba,
the daughter of king Joram, sister of Ahaziah,
took Joash
the son of Ahaziah, and stole
him from among the king’s sons which were slain; and they
hid him,
even him and his nurse,
in the bedchamber from Athaliah,
so that he was not
slain. 3And
he was with her hid in the house of the LORD six years. And Athaliah did
reign over the land." (2 Kings 11:1-3)
The name "Joash" means "given by Jehovah", which
correlates with the name "Matthew", which means "gift of Jehovah". The name
"Jehosheba" means "Jehovah has sworn", which correlates with the name
"Elizabeth" mentioned above, since "Elizabeth"
means "my God has sworn". Elizabeth was the mother of John the Baptist, who
paved the way for the Lord (Matthew 3:3). In the dream, sister Cindy was a "Jehosheba"
who paved a way across the meadow to rescue "Joash" from the "Athaliah"
snakes. The name "Athaliah" means "afflicted of Jehovah", and it speaks of
the suffering imposed on the Church "leadership" by God as He sends His
black-horse judgments against them,
reducing them
to a pathetically exposed Korah. Athaliah, therefore, represents a
matriarchal leadership that has been exposed as being
soul-centered rather than Spirit-centered. Since Korah never wants to
admit his nakedness and his need to submit to the Spirit, he is
on the lookout
for a moment of vulnerability in God's anointed ones in order to
annihilate them and thwart the Spirit's emergence, which explains why
Athaliah took advantage of her son's death to kill all the royal seed and
establish herself on the throne. The spiritual "Jehoshebas", however, know
that "Jehovah has sworn", and that the manifestation of the
Sun of
Righteousness
shall come about,
regardless of what the enemy may try to do to prevent it. God's oath is
what impels the "Jehosheba" souls to push on, despite satan's onslaught
against them. God has sworn that
His Promise
shall come to pass if we hold on till the end, and no force in the heavens
or in hell can snatch the Promise away from us, just as the snakes were
unable to take Matthew away from sister Cindy, for the Spirit is stronger
than the soul. The Spirit is eternal; the soul, without the Spirit, is
ephemeral, and her rule and grace are but for a season.
As a
guarantee of the Promise that Jehovah
has sworn, He has placed a lonely log cabin in the green meadow. God's
judgments shall fill the Earth, and there is
nothing that satan
can do against it (Psalm 105:7,
Numbers
24:7-9). Cursed are you, satan, for your demise is at hand! And cursed
are those who do not get away from you because they are
too comfortable
with the soulish world system you have
sold
man on (Isaiah
28:14-19)!
"17Think not that I
am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but
to fulfil. 18For verily I say unto you,
Till heaven and earth pass,
one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be
fulfilled. 19Whosoever
therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men
so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever
shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of
heaven. 20For I say unto you, That except your righteousness
shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no
case enter into the kingdom of heaven." (Matthew 5:17-20)

The fact that sister Cindy
had this dream twice
points to
the 2 witnesses of Revelation 11. Those who accept the 2-witness
anointing will be the ones who are killed by the "beast" and who go through
death and Sheol (Revelation 11:7). This dream is a figure of that
journey. |
