I had a dream several weeks ago:
There was a group of us in a parking lot, and we all
were getting into our perspective vehicles. I got in my truck, and there were
other people in it with me, but I can't recall who they were. I am not sure
where we were going, but I knew we all were going to drive there, and it was
somewhere we all had been before. We all were going to the same place but not
driving the same streets to get there.
When I looked to my left where I usually parked,
there seemed to be a lot of dark water. So, instead, I drove straight and parked
my truck. No one else was parked there, but there was someone that walked by my
truck as I was getting out, and, he said, "It was a good thing you didn't
park over there because it's deep water and you would have drowned". So I
looked to my left to what used to be a parking lot and it was a lot of water but
it didn't look deep. Then, I looked in the direction that I had come from, and
there was a small car coming up that was going straight for the deepest part of
the water. I didn't say or do anything because it was like I was in shock and
unable to move. Then I saw the little car drive, and it was like plunged into a
deep ocean, and they were gone. I began to scream and cry because all of a
sudden I said, "My mother's in there ... my granddaughter's in there ... my
aunt and uncle are in there ..." It was like I was recalling all of these
people that may have been in that car. I began to scream and cry and go into
deep mourning. Then I woke up and felt the same way that I had in the dream.
Holy Spirit began to speak to me about the meaning.
Cars almost always signify ministry. Therefore, I believe the different cars in
the parking lot signified different ministries that I am familiar or connected
with. We were all driving in our own vehicles, and the different-size cars I
believe were significant of types of ministries. The thing that really stood out
about the dream was I was mourning about loved ones; however, the number of
loved ones I was mourning about was far too many to have been in this tiny car.
The other thing was I noticed that the parking lot where I usually parked didn't
seem safe, so I didn't park there. The small car had to have seen it was
different but kept going anyway. The person that spoke to me after I parked
didn't try to warn me not to park in the unsafe area.
Our
brief comments
{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:
|
Sister Julie wrote that everyone got into their
"perspective" vehicles.
Humanly speaking, I am sure that sister Julie meant to write that everyone
got into their "respective" vehicles. However, I felt the word "perspective"
hitting me in the Spirit, as if God had placed it there. As I meditated on
it, I understood that the Lord is declaring that each vehicle represented a
"human perspective" on how to live the Christian life. As we have said
before, "vehicles" are a figure of "methodologies" and "traditions" (Girgashite
methodologies and traditions when they are fashioned in the flesh).
Therefore, the "perspective vehicles" are a figure of the traditions and
methodologies fashioned by men through their human perspectives in order to
achieve a successful "religious life". In short, the "perspective" vehicles
represent what many refer to as "religion", i.e.- man trying to
figure out a way to reach God.
|
|
In the dream, all the vehicles were headed for
the same destination. That destination is "church as usual", as shown by the
following:
|
They were driving to
a place they had all been to
before |
|
Sister Julie was initially planning to park
where she usually parked |
|
In the dream, sister Julie
did not have a definite
awareness of where they were going, but she got there anyway.
This speaks of "repetitive habits".
As you may know, some people have been known, for example, to get in
their cars and drive to work on Saturday out of pure instinct, even if
they don't work on Saturdays, simply because the place they were
originally going to had a similar route. This speaks of the power of
learned traditions. As we have said
before,
traditions are fostered by teachers, and teachers are designed by God to
be "methodically
repetitive" by
nature, saying the same thing over and over again until the student has
absorbed the concept. The teacher endowment fosters "efficiency", which
implies drafting procedures that eliminate the time required to "plan
and think". If you can "automate" a task, it can be performed quickly
without the need for the worker to spend time "thinking and
questioning". Therefore, when teachers are not "perfected"
(by becoming prophetic), they foster
a
Girgashite people of religious
automata, spiritual androids who repeat traditions day after day,
week after week, year after year,
without ever wondering about the possible prophetic purposes behind
the tasks they are performing. When asked about the eternal
transcendence of their traditions, androids
self-centeredly
shrug their
shoulders and reply, "That's just the
way it is", which reveals that the repetition of those
traditions is not being fostered by an
internal,
New-Covenant compulsion from the Spirit of God. This is the reason why
sister Julie did not have an internal conviction about the place
they were all going to. She simply followed her externally-learned
impulses and got to their destination. |
|
|
As we have said
before, the
"left" side is the side of "prophetic
intuition" that transcends the visible and peers into the invisible.
Therefore, when sister Julie
"looked to" her "left" to where she usually parked, she was able
to perceive the dark water and the danger it posed. There was no danger
visible to the natural, tradition-bound,
Girgashite
eye, but the danger became evident as it was beheld with
prophetic eyes.
Girgashites say to themselves, "We have done
this a million times before, and that certifies its safety. Why should this
time be any different than the others?". To Girgashites,
experience always supersedes intuition. Sister Julie had parked
there many times before, but, this time, she discerned that there was
something different, an invisible danger that could cause very visible,
deadly consequences. She allowed intuition to supersede experience, and she
was spared from those consequences.
|
|
The
man that appeared after sister Julie parked elsewhere represents
God's confirmation of His believer's prophetic actions. The man did
not tell her of the danger before she parked because God was forcing
her to look past Girgashite traditions and human understanding. She had to
act based on "invisible evidence". Had
she been told a priori about the danger, she would have been provided
with "natural evidence" to avoid that parking spot.
The danger, however, was
spiritual in nature, and no amount of natural understanding would have been
sufficient to render credibility to the danger. If you want to enter into
the fullness of God's calling for your life, you must be willing to step out
of the bunker of human understanding. Otherwise, that bunker shall be your
tomb, for the bunker's safety is its invisible danger.
"27Then he said, I
pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest send him to my father’s
house: 28For I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them,
lest they also come into this place of torment. 29Abraham saith
unto him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them. 30And
he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one went unto them from the dead, they
will repent. 31And he said unto him,
If they hear not Moses and the
prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead."
(Luke 16:27-31)
"29And when the
people were gathered thick together, he began to say,
This is an evil generation:
they seek a sign; and
there shall no sign be
given it, but the sign of Jonas the prophet.
30For as Jonas was a sign unto the Ninevites, so shall also the
Son of man be to this generation." (Luke 11:29-30)
As you act in prophetic faith, God will confirm
the truth of your words and actions. The confirmation will come to you
first, and then it will come to the Girgashites who
contended against
you.
|
|
As we have said
before,
Girgashites die by "drowning". This explains why the man said to sister
Julie that she would have "drowned" had she parked in the place where she
usually parked.
|
|
The "parking
lot" itself where all were heading to refers to
the temporary
place that the Church has permanently "settled" in due to its spirit of
divided
compromise.
|
|
In the dream,
the entire parking lot became
filled with water. As I would read the dream, the word that would
constantly appear in my head is "pothole". As many of you may know, large
potholes are dangerous on rainy days because the rain water will fill up the
hole and hide its depth. Therefore, it can be said that the entire parking
lot turned into a giant and deceiving "pothole" that hid its abysmal depth.
The word "pothole" is a combination of the words
"pot" and "hole". The word "pot" speaks of "containing vessels", which, in
turn speaks to the Girgashite
methods of containment. The word "hole" speaks of emptiness, which
points to the Hittite spirits of
emptiness
and
purposelessness. Therefore, the word "pothole" speaks of the Hittite
abyss of purposelessness that is created in places where the Girgashite
spirits are allowed to institute pointless human traditions of no
transcendent value. Girgashites work for naught, and their
tireless
efforts result in
bread
of vanity and eternal emptiness.
"1Except the LORD
build the house, they
labour in vain that build it:
except the LORD keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain. 2It
is vain for you to rise up early, to sit up late, to eat the
bread of sorrows:
for so he giveth his beloved sleep." (Psalm 127:1-2)
As described on
wikipedia.org and
education.yahoo.com, the word "pothole" was originally used to describe
holes with a "pot-like" deep round shape that are naturally formed in rocks
by the eroding effect of loose stones whirling in strong rapids or waterfalls. These holes
also appear on dry land, on the side of rocks where water once flowed.

Los Angeles, California (USA) is famous for its
many potholes. This is no spiritual coincidence. As we have said before,
Los Angeles is a
figure of the Latin American
Canaanite-Hivite-Amorite
influence in America, a debilitating influence whose danger most remain
oblivious to. As we have said
before, America has
acted like Gedaliah
when warned of the spiritual danger posed by this influence.
Latin
America is a "grace abuser". She has been doused with great blessings
from above, but she has rewarded God by behaving like an
ungrateful "bastard". She has become like an empty pothole that tries to
hide her emptiness with "grace waters", and she has become a "pothole
stumbling block" to God's purposes on Earth, for much was invested in her,
and she refuses to provide spiritual returns on that investment. She has
requested loans of grace from God, promising to pay, but she has only
defaulted on those loans, claiming them as a right, not an act of
voluntary mercy. She has taken this attitude into America, and she is now a
dangerous pothole filled with waters of deceitful grace. Through that
"danger hole", "turban
Ishmael" shall
enter to
wreak havoc, and the danger dismissed by Gedaliah shall materialize in full.
The L.A. "pothole" is a status-quo pit, a "cautious
pit of aborted dreams", and, when it is full of water, it is an "ocean
of stolen dreams".

We received this dream via e-mail on
July 8, 2005. Exactly
52 days later,
Katrina hit New Orleans (on August 29, 2005), turning New Orleans into a
giant water-filled "bowl"
or "pot" (i.e.- a pothole). The Lord made us "forget" this dream, until
recently. Yesterday, as we were getting ready to post the "Stowaway"
word, the Lord spoke very clearly to my heart, and He said, "The
water-hole dream is next, for it is the Stowaway word's sister dream. You
must post it with urgency.". I then understood that this
dream had to be posted today, August 28, 2006. "Coincidentally", today is
exactly 52 weeks after August 29, 2005, the day Katrina struck New
Orleans. This means that 52 days passed between the time this e-mail was
sent and Katrina; 52 times 7 days (52 weeks) then passed after Katrina
until this dream was posted, making for a total of 416 (52 times 8)
days between the time this dream was e-mailed and the time it was posted. We
did not do this on purpose! Our God is amazing, and His wisdom is inscrutable!
In the July 7, 2005 terrorist attacks on London,
52 innocent people were killed. Because of this, the Lord has always had me
spiritually associate the number "52" with those attacks. Therefore, it is a
stunning "coincidence" that this dream was e-mailed precisely the
next day after the 7/7 attacks, on July 8, 2005. As we have shared
before,
the 7/7 attacks were a spiritual price that London was forced to pay due to
America's spiritual negligence. The number "52", therefore, represents the
death of people who are forced to go through (otherwise) unnecessary
suffering on account of the stubborn negligence of others. God's Katrina
judgment on America was part of His vengeance for the death of these "52",
and more is to come (multiplied 7-fold), because Katrina went as
unheeded as
the initial
warnings that led to the death of the "52". The "Uncle
Tom" land of compromise shall be forced to take a side, for those who
are not fully with Him are against Him:
"23He
that is not with me is against me:
and he that gathereth not with me scattereth. 24When the unclean
spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest;
and finding none, he saith, I will return unto my house whence I came out.
25And when he cometh, he findeth it swept and garnished. 26Then
goeth he, and taketh to
him seven other spirits more wicked than himself;
and they enter in, and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse
than the first." (Luke 11:23-26)
Notice that this dream involves one
52-day period (between the dream's e-mailing and Katrina) followed by
seven 52-day periods (between Katrina and the dream's posting), making
for a total of eight (=1+7) 52-day periods. This correlates with the
7-fold judgment mentioned above, and it correlates with America's failure to
transition from
"7" to "8", a transition that she will be forced to make through
green-horse judgments.
Thomas doubted the
green-horse resurrection nature of Christ and demanded more signs
(John 20:24-25), but he was not cast off as Judas was, for he was given an
opportunity to repent. Eight days later (which speaks of the
transition from "7" to "eight"), Jesus appeared before Thomas and
confronted his cautious doubt; Thomas then recognized his sin, and he finally
accepted the
God-potential in
man. Yet, the reward for Thomas was not the same as if he had believed
from the get-go. The same shall be with America, though America shall be
greatly blessed.
"26And
after eight days
again his disciples were
within, and Thomas with them: then came Jesus, the doors being shut, and
stood in the midst, and said, Peace be unto you. 27Then saith he
to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and behold my hands; and reach hither
thy hand, and thrust it into my side: and be not faithless, but believing.
28And Thomas
answered and said unto him, My Lord and my God.
29Jesus saith unto him, Thomas,
because thou hast seen me,
thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have
believed. 30And
many other signs truly
did Jesus in the
presence of his disciples, which are
not written in this book:
31But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the
Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his
name." (John 20:26-31)

When sister Julie approached the "pothole" at
the beginning of the dream, she saw it filled with "dark
water". This points to the
black horse of the Apocalypse; therefore, it is no
coincidence that, 52 days later,
black-horse
Katrina struck New Orleans.
The
above reveals the following: When sister Julie
got in her vehicle along with all the others at the initial parking lot,
they had just been exposed to the horse that comes prior to the black horse,
the
red horse of the Apocalypse. All had heard the
arguments presented by the
red-horse teacher-apostle
at that parking lot, but they
chose to
continue with "church as usual" anyway. Therefore, all those who left
the initial parking lot in their vehicles represent those who went out to
hear what red-horse "Elijah" had to say in the "wilderness", but who
chose to return to "Jerusalem" to continue with their traditional "Churchianity".
As a result of this, sister Julie exposed herself to black-horse judgments,
but, she was able to discern the danger of the "pothole" and was spared. By
parking elsewhere all by herself, in a place where "no one else was parked",
she had finally accepted the "spiritual separation" (i.e.- division) brought
about by the red-horse's
sword.
She
separated herself from the status quo, and, by doing so, she entered
into full submission to God's will.
|
|
The
small car that came afterwards represents the believers who
ignore God's
red-horse shout and who
continue supporting the religious structures, even after God's
black-horse judgments have come and
gone. Because of this, they become exposed to the next horse of the
Apocalypse: the green horse. As we have
studied
before, the red horse reduces the "Cain" leadership of the Church to a
wandering "Balaam", which is then reduced by the black horse into an
evidently naked "Korah" that
refuses to admit his nakedness. Korah and his followers are the ones who
face God's green-horse judgments. This explains why the car was so "small",
since it refers to a Korah who has been "cut down to size" after the barrage
of both the red and black horses. The fact that sister Julie was
surprised by the great number of
people inside such a small car is a figure of how amazing it is
to see believers who continue to follow the "Korah" leadership, even after
Korah has been shown to be so lacking. Such believers are as self-deceived
as Korah, refusing to
admit
"defeat", refusing to admit that they have invested their lives in a
spiritual system that was not of God to begin with. Therefore, they cram
themselves into Korah's small car in an effort to prove that Korah's car is
indeed a "spiritual" car created by the unlimited God, not a natural car created by the limited
understanding of man. They continue revering Korah, even when Korah has been
reduced to a "skunk
king".
All of the above explains why the small car went
straight into the water, pretending in self-deceit as if the water was not
there. When it plunged into the water, it was simply "gone".
The "pothole" swallowed up the car, just as the Earth swallowed up Korah and
his followers:
"30But if the LORD
make a new thing, and the earth open her mouth, and swallow them up, with
all that appertain unto them, and they go down quick into the pit; then ye
shall understand that these men have provoked the LORD. 31And
it came to pass, as he
had made an end of speaking all these words,
that the ground clave
asunder that was under them:
32And the earth opened her mouth, and
swallowed them up, and their
houses, and all the men that appertained unto Korah, and all their goods.
33They, and all that appertained to them,
went down alive into the pit,
and the earth closed
upon them: and they
perished from among the congregation. 34And all Israel that were
round about them fled at the cry of them: for they said, Lest the earth
swallow us up also." (Numbers 16:30-34)
|
|
The green horse comes against Korah to
obliterate the
soul
matriarchy. As we have said before, "woman" in Scripture is generally a
figure of the soul, while "man" is a figure of the spirit. This is the
spiritual reason why most of the people mentioned by sister Julie (who were
in the Korah "small car") were women:
her mother, her granddaughter,
and her aunt and uncle. Notice that the only male mentioned is
her "uncle", and he is mentioned after her "aunt", not before. The
green horse comes to end the matriarchy of the "female" soul over the "male"
spirit so that God's Glory may be manifested on Earth. The green horse,
therefore, brings obliteration against all those who are fighting to
preserve the soul's dominion and prevent the Spirit in all believers from
being
manifested.
Notice also that the people mentioned by sister
Julie cover 4 generations: her mother, herself, her granddaughter's parents,
and her granddaughter. This correlates with Exodus 20:5. |
