Barbados
First posted: September 3, 2006
Question
On July 3, August 10,
and August 29, 2006, a sister in Christ from Barbados sent us 3 e-mails in which
she attached various prophetic words, dreams, and visions that believers have
been having in Barbados regarding a coming flooding of the island. The number of
believers who have been having independent but concurring visions and dreams of
flooding in the island has been far too great to ignore. Because of this, this
sister in Christ asked us what the Lord spoke to our hearts regarding all of
these dreams and visions.
Answer
The elements in
Barbados' spiritual makeup
Barbados is a
small
Caribbean island in the western Atlantic Ocean that lies to the southeast of the
Caribbean Sea. In order to understand what may be coming to this island, we must
first understand what has already come to it in the past. All of the dreams and
visions that believers in Barbados have been having are God's way of drawing
people's attention to the spiritual nature and calling of Barbados. There is an
important spiritual battle being waged in the "tiny" island of Barbados, and
that battle is a reflection of things that are happening in the spirit realm
throughout the world.
The Lord prompted us
to meditate on Barbados first, and these are the 6 thoughts that the Lord
dropped into our hearts:
-
The England
connection
|
According to
wikipedia.org, the influence of the English is more
noticeable in Barbados than in other islands in the West Indies.
|
|
According to
wikipedia.org,
Barbados is nicknamed "Little England".
|
|
The UK's
Elizabeth II is Barbados' official monarch.
|
|
Barbados has
11 administrative parishes. As we have said
before, the number "11" represents God's
purifying judgments, which
points to the apostolic ministry,
since that is the ministry
most directly related to the making of judgments. As we have said
before, Britain's strongest endowment is the apostolic endowment.
|
-
The Celtic
connection
|
Barbados'
independence day is November 30, which is the same as Scotland's
national day.
|
|
The Barbados flag features an extended arm
clutching 2 sugarcane stalks that form an "X", which represent the cross
upon which St. Andrew is said to have died. St. Andrew is the patron
saint of Scotland.
|
|
In the early days of Barbados' colonization, large numbers of Celtic people, mainly
from Scotland and Ireland, went to Barbados as indentured servants.
|
|
The term "Red
Legs" is used to refer to the modern-day descendants of Scots and
Englishmen sent as slaves to Barbados by King James II and others for
participating in rebellions such as the Monmouth Rebellion. According to
wikipedia.org, these "Red Legs" are among the poorest people in
Barbados.
|
|
According to
wikipedia.org, Barbados was mainly Celtic in the 17th
century.
|
-
The Carolinas connection
|
British settlers that owned small
plots of land in Barbados were displaced. These settlers relocated to British
colonies in North America, especially in South Carolina.
|
|
7 out of the
first 21 state governors in the U.S. Carolinas were Barbadians.
|
|
The name
"Carolina" is a female version of the name "Charles", which means "man, male". The name
"Andrew" literally means "manly", which, therefore, is related to the
name "Carolina". This points to Barbados because of the connection to
St. Andrew mentioned
above.
|
-
Proximity to
Latin America
|
Barbados is
barely 270 miles northeast of Venezuela, South America. Venezuela is
home to Hugo Chavez, a "prototype" of where Latin America is headed
politically and culturally as her spiritual decline becomes more and
more evident.
|
|
According to
wikipedia.org, most of Barbados' foreigners are people from the US,
Canada, and the UK, along with expatriates from Latin America. It is
interesting that the wikipedia.org article used the word "expatriates"
when referring to Latin Americans only, since expatriates are people who
live in another country without letting go of their roots in their
country of origin. As we have shared
before,
this is one of the root problems with Latin American immigration in America.
|
-
The pirate
connection
|
The name "Barbados" was given to the
island by an Iberian explorer, and it means "The Bearded Ones". The name
was inspired by the physical appearance of the island's fig trees, whose long
hanging aerial roots resembled beards. The name's connection to "beards"
immediately reminded us of the comments on "Redbeard"
that the Lord had us post recently (in the
Stowaway word). I believe that the Lord did not allow us to sit down
and meditate on the Barbados e-mails until we had written about "Redbeard". There is a spiritual
connection there, a connection we were not aware of until today (August
30, 2006).
The name of
the Portuguese explorer who gave Barbados its name was "Pedro Campos",
which literally means "Peter Fields" in English.
"Coincidentally", the apostle Peter was the apostle
("St.") Andrew's brother in real life
(John 1:40-42).
|

Starting a
few weeks ago, the Lord has had me thinking a great deal about the "Pirates of the Caribbean"
movies. This started as I saw a segment, aired recently on
the Fox News Channel's "O'Reilly Factor", in which Bill O'Reilly
interviewed a person who spoke of the spiritual themes that ran through
those movies. A few days earlier, I was looking up a word on Webster's
Dictionary, and the Lord got my eyes to land on the phrase "Davy Jones'
locker". It seemed odd to me that this phrase would appear in a formal
dictionary, since the only place where I had ever heard this phrase was
in an episode of the Sponge Bob cartoon! I then learned that "Davy
Jones' locker" was the name for the "burial place for those drowned at
sea", which immediately made me think of Sheol. This "dictionary
incident" made me think about pirates even more, especially since the
Lord has had us talking about "buccaneers", beginning in an
early posting (entitled "Hurricane
Charley"), and even more since the end of 2005. All of this
relates to Barbados for 2 reasons:
-
Barbados
is a Caribbean island, which correlates with the title "Pirates of
the Caribbean".
-
The
dreams and visions which prompted this posting show Barbados being flooded.
A massive flooding would lead
to the drowning of many and would turn Barbados into a "Davy Jones'
locker", a burial place for people drowned by the sea.
Interestingly enough, the above-mentioned Fox
News interview was first aired on July 13, 2006 at 8:00 pm US EDT. This
means that it was already July 14 in Europe at the time that the
interview was aired. July 14 is Bastille Day, a day of
"pirate-like" anarchy that was instrumental in the downfall of
"fattened" kings throughout Europe. "Coincidentally", this word on
Barbados is being posted on September 3, 2006 (in both the UK and US),
which is exactly
52 days
after July 13 (and
51 days
after July 14). The spiritual drama being played out in Barbados is
spiritually related to the drama that led to God's
shift away from America and towards Europe.
{You can read a partial transcript of the
Fox News Channel interview in a page posted on
foxnews.com;
this page has a "Video" tab that provides a link to the interview's
video. You can also read comments about the "Pirates of the Caribbean"
movies and other movies on
movieministry.com. Even though this may seem like an "unrelated"
comment, we strongly encourage you to read
movieministry.com's comments on the "Lord of the Rings" movies; I
have the Spirit's witness that this is not an unrelated comment.}

|
In the "Stowaway"
posting, the Lord had us talk about "Barbary pirates", especially the
Scottish pirate Peter Lisle. The name "Peter" points to
"Pedro Campos", the Iberian explorer mentioned
above who gave Barbados its name, and the
word "Barbary" itself is very similar to the name "Barbados".
|
-
The Israelite
connection
|
According to
wikipedia.org, Brazilian Jews in exile were the ones who
introduced sugarcane to Barbados. Sugarcane went on to become the most important
industry throughout Barbados' economic history.
|
|
As we said
above, St. Andrew is related to Barbados. Andrew is mentioned 13
times in 12 different verses. However, the only passage in Scripture in
which Andrew is referred to individually is in John 1:40-42. Immediately
after that passage, the joining of Nathanael to the rest of the apostles is
described, and Andrew is mentioned once again (in verse 44). When Jesus
saw Nathanael coming to Him, He said, "Behold, an Israelite
indeed, in whom is no guile!" (v47). After that, the Lord says to him,
"Before that Philip called thee, when thou wast under the fig tree,
I saw thee" (v48). This points to Barbados, since, as we said
above, the name "Barbados" was inspired by fig trees. All of this
emphasizes the "Israelite connection" in Barbados, since the
Lord refers to Nathanael as a "true Israelite".
|
|
In the "Stowaway"
posting, the Lord prompted us to add a paragraph on how the "stowaway" principle
also applies to the people of Israel. We were not going to
add this paragraph, but, just before we posted the "Stowaway" word, the Lord
insisted that we add it. |
"Elementary" conclusions
From the 6 spiritual elements listed above, we can
derive the following conclusions about the spiritual makeup of Barbados:
-
Barbados is a "stowaway" island
We can say this based
on the following:
|
The
first 2 elements listed
above reveal a strong spiritual connection between Barbados and
the UK. As we shared in the "Stowaway"
posting, Britannia found grace in the eyes of the Lord and was set apart by God
for a mighty purpose. In the islands of Britannia, God "stowed away" Europe's calling. As He
found stumbling blocks towards the end of His work with Britannia, He "stowed
away" Britannia's call in America. Therefore, Barbados' connection to the UK
reveals that Barbados itself has a "stowaway" calling. This is evidenced by how
many Scots, Englishmen, and Irish were shipped off to Barbados for defying the
British kings. God has stowed a special anointing in Barbados, an anointing that
God wants to
collect spiritual returns on, for the time of the harvest is here.
|
|
The Jewish people are "stowaway" people. Therefore,
Barbados' spiritual
connection to the Israelites (discussed
above) emphasizes Barbados' "stowaway" calling.
|
|
America is also a "stowaway" land. Therefore,
Barbados' spiritual connection to the American Carolinas (mentioned
above) emphasizes Barbados'
"stowaway" calling.
|
|
The Lord began to speak to us about spiritual "stowaways" as He
had us meditating on the unrecognized red-bearded man in the "Stowaway" dream posted on
August 27, 2006. Therefore, it is no coincidence that the visitor sent us an
email asking about Barbados on August 29, 2006, 2 days after that dream was posted, since "Barbados"
means "bearded ones". She had also sent us an email regarding Barbados on
August 10, 2006,
17 days before the comments on "Redbeard" were "manifested".
|
-
Barbados has a strong Japhethite influence
Barbados has embraced
the British influence from Europe, so much so that it is called "Little
England". As we have said
before, Europeans are physical descendants of Japheth. Therefore, those
who embrace European values such as "law and order" and "respect for your fellow
man" become "spiritual Japhethites", regardless of their race or ethnic
background; and those who are Japhethites come under the prosperity blessing
pronounced by God through Noah after the flood (Genesis 9:25-27). Because of this,
Barbados is a relatively prosperous island, as shown by the following facts:
|
According to
wikipedia.org, Barbados has one of the highest standards of living and
literacy rates in the developing world.
|
|
According to the UNDP (United Nations Development Programme),
Barbados is currently the 4th most developed of all developing
countries in the world.
|
|
Barbados is a major tourist destination, and, according to
wikipedia.org, Barbados has seen an increasing construction boom since the
1990s, with new hotels, redevelopments, new office complexes, mansions, and
condominiums being built throughout the island. In other words, Barbados is
unlike other tourist destinations that remain in perennial economic stagnation,
despite the influx of tourists.
|
|
According to
wikipedia.org, Barbados has one of the densest road networks in the world.
In other words, despite being a "tropical" island that attracts tourists because
of its natural beauty, Barbados is not an island "overrun" by nature, as is the
case with other tourist destinations.
|
|
According to
wikipedia.org, Barbados has 1 registered car for every 2 citizens in the
island.
|
-
Barbados has a "Charlesian" influence
As we saw
above, Barbados is spiritually connected to the American states of North and
South Carolina and to the name "Charles". This reveals a negative influence in
Barbados. As we have shared
before, the name "Carolina" speaks of the self-aggrandizing "ministers" who
pretend to be acting as "manly" spirits but who are really acting like nothing
more than "female" souls. These ministers are "fatman"
pastors who sumptuously feed themselves off of God's people but who do not care
to feed the brethren who
uphold their earthly "ministries". These "fatmen"
ministers are contaminated with the hideous
Amorite spirit of pride and self-exaltation, along with the
Girgashite "pig
spirit" that promotes religious
hierarchies and distinctions. The combination of both the
Amorite and
Girgashite spirits leads to "ministerial elitism".
When reading the
prophetic words on Barbados (from others) that the visitor sent to us, the strong
spirit of "ministerial elitism" was very evident in the wording. For
example, at the beginning of one of the files sent to us, the writer refers
to a prophetic dream of flooding given by a person we shall call "XYZ".
Before describing XYZ's dream, the writer introduces him as "Barbadian
Prophet Dr. XYZ". In other words, it took the writer
3 titles to get to the name of the
brother. The first title, "Barbadian", is designed to promote "Barbadian
national pride". The second title, "Prophet", is designed to promote him as
a "minister", as opposed to the average "layman". The third title, "Dr.", is
designed to emphasize his humanly recognized academic credentials, which apparently certify
the "spiritual validity" of whatever he said. As if the "Dr." title was not
enough, the writer goes on to emphasize that Mr. XYZ's doctorate is a
"doctorate in Theology and Divinity", as if to say, "He is a really important
fellow, so we must all pay attention to whatever he may have to
say!!" My immediate "buccaneer"
reaction, as I read that phrase, was to say,
"Who cares? What divinity school did Elijah, Jeremiah, or Ezekiel attend? What
divinity school did Yeshua attend, for that matter?"
The "Ph.D." that God has
called us to receive from man is the Ph.D.
of "Pain, heartache
and Diatribes", but that Ph.D. is not as
popular as the one handed out at divinity school!
In the same
document that mentions brother XYZ, the writer also uses glowing terms to
refer to a Barbadian organization called the "Pastors
and Ministers Roundtable Network International". Notice how
this organization's title places the word "pastors"
before "ministers", which insinuates the pre-eminence of the pastoral
ministry over all other ministries. This, therefore, points to how deeply
rooted the "pastoral
matriarchy" is in Barbados. The organization's title also emphasizes
the pre-eminence of humanly-ordained "ministers" in general, portraying them as
the "enlightened" higher-ups who are so spiritually above the rest of mankind
that they are the ones delegated to do all the important spiritual work while
the rest of God's people stand at the foot of the mountain, waiting for "bearded
Moses" to come down from his "roundtable" at the mountaintop to
inform the people of what the Lord wants done.
Wherever the fatman
"Charles" spirit is allowed to emerge, strong
Amorite
pride soon follows. Therefore, it is not surprising that the
national flower of Barbados is called "Pride
of Barbados" and that the country's
motto is "Pride and
Industry". As we said
above, the "Charles" spirit also has a
foundation of Girgashite hierarchies,
which correlates with the word "Industry" in the motto, since Girgashites are
industrious
workaholics when it comes to working for things that are
visible to their
natural understanding.
According to
wikipedia.org, Barbados and Japan have the highest per capita occurrences of
centenarians in the world. Longevity is strongly associated with the teacher
endowment, since it promotes a sense of stability and order (due to its focus on
methods and
traditions),
which leads to a reduction in the anguish induced by a life of
uncertainties; the teacher's focus on methods and traditions also leads to a
systematic attention to "precautionary measures" such as the intake of
(sometimes unnecessary) medicines and the avoidance of high-risk activities
and decisions; all of this leads to a longer life expectancy. As we have said
before, teachers degenerate into Girgashites when they stray from God's
purposes. Therefore, the longevity in Barbados' population betrays a strong
teacher endowment over the island, which, in turn, betrays the strong Girgashite
influences that keep the fatman "Charles" spirit in control of the island.

Barbados has a "green" pirate calling
Barbados' flag has 3
vertical bands; the two outer bands are blue, and the middle band is yellow and
contains what looks like a trident. These elements all point to the green horse
of the Apocalypse:
|
The two blue bands that "wrap" or "surround" the middle yellow
band points to the "blue
prayer shawl" that green-horse riders are called to wrap themselves
in for the sake of others.
|
|
The yellow band points to the vulnerable "yellow
flowers" that green-horse riders pose as in order to
bait the attack of Korah.
|
|
The trident points to Poseidon, Hades, and the "stings" of Sheol.
Green-horse riders
arise from their "death and Sheol"
experience to unleash
Death and Sheol against the
matriarchy of the soul.
|
As we have
shared
in
recent
postings, green-horse riders are spiritual "buccaneers" with no reverence
for human titles or greatness. Therefore, we can say from all of the above that
God has, from the very beginning, called Barbados to be an island of
"irreverent" green-horse "pirates" who will "plunder and pillage" in the spirit
realm in order to help
tear down the pastoral matriarchy around the world. This
is the reason why the Lord sent "green"
Irishmen and Celts to Barbados even from its early history. The Scots are
black-horse riders, but they also have a Celtic, green "pirate"
streak in them, which explains why God sent them to Barbados as well.
It is no coincidence
that Barbados' capital is called "Bridgetown". As we share in the "Outpouring"
word, "bridges" are a figure of prophetic intercession, which reaches its
deepest levels when you enter into the fullness of the green-horse
anointing.
This "green calling"
on Barbados is reaffirmed by the fact that Barbados is a land with many green,
gently-sloping pastures that provide good views of
the sea.
A spiritual backdoor of collateral damage
All of the above
explains the spiritual conflict that is going on in the spirit realm over
Barbados, the conflict that is being perceived in the dreams and visions that
the brethren have been receiving in Barbados. It is, in essence, the conflict
of "fatman Charles vs. the green pirate". The people who are willing to move in the green-horse pirate anointing
(like the visitor who sent in the question) are quickly
attacked by the fatman-Charles spirit.
Barbados has warmly
embraced
the covering of Japheth, instead of
rejecting it (which is what most
physical descendants of Ham have unfortunately done). Because of this, Barbados
has found grace in the eyes of the Lord, and He has blessed her greatly.
However, this
acceptance of the Japheth spirit has been perverted by a spirit of
Amorite
opportunism, which has used it as a door to establish the spirit of
ministerial elitism. Japheth's respect for law and order has been turned into a
worship of regulations, and Japheth's respect for the fellow man has been turned
into undue reverence of "greater" men. This is the reason why the Anglican
denomination is so firmly established in Barbados, since the
Anglican Church is a strongly hierarchical church.
As a result of this
distortion of God's right-handedness, the green-horse "pirate" calling on
Barbados has been repressed and pushed back. This explains why many British
settlers were dislocated at the beginning of Barbados' history, and were forced
to relocate in other British colonies. It also explains why the "Red Legs",
modern-day descendants of the Scots and Englishmen, are among the poorest in the
island. Despite all the blessings and green endowment that God has provided
Barbados with, Barbados continues to fight her "green" calling, and is therefore
gearing up for a confrontation with the Lord of Hosts' "green
tank".
By referring to the
Scottish and English descendants as "Red Legs", people are mocking their skin's
vulnerability to the sun, which points to how
Korah loves to take advantage of
the green-horse riders'
vulnerability. By doing so, however, Korah is inviting
his own destruction.
In the middle of this conflict, Barbados has a
slightly ajar backdoor of spiritual contamination from Latin
America, due to its proximity to Venezuela and the rest of Hispanic South
America. As we have said
before, Latin America is a land dominated by the Korah spirit, and, as
Barbados continues to (unknowingly) side with Korah and reject its "green"
calling, it exposes itself to God's judgments against Korah, including
"collateral" damage from God's judgments against its Korah-ite neighbor,
Hispanic America.
As I read the prophecies, dreams, and visions on
Barbados that were sent to us, I was
personally shocked when I read that a brother and a sister in Christ (2
witnesses) believe that there will be a preceding "minor" tsunami before a major
one. This is because this correlates with what the Lord has spoken to us regarding a
small country in Latin America. In the case of this small
country, the Lord has spoken about 2 literal (and spiritual) disasters, a
"minor" one followed by a "major" one. The "minor" one will be devastating, but
the country will get up from that difficult blow, thinking that "the worst has
passed", but, just as with Agag (1
Samuel 15:32-33), her arrogant self-righteousness shall draw upon her a doom
that will shock the world. This "double whammy" projection correlates with God's
judgment against the literal Korah. First, God opened up the Earth, and the
Earth swallowed up Korah and his house (Numbers 16:30-34); immediately after
that, God sent fire that consumed the 250 elders who had allied themselves with
Korah (Numbers 16:35-40). This two-stage first judgment ended the "Korah
leadership". Even so, the people rose up the next day and arrogantly defied God
for having judged Korah "so harshly" the day before, which led to a second
judgment, a devastating plague that ended all mention of "Korah" among the
people, once and for all (Numbers 16:41-49).
There are other details in the Barbados prophecies,
dreams, and visions that served as confirmation to us that the word for Barbados
also applies to the aforementioned Latin American (L.A.) country. It is as
if the visions and dreams that are being received in Barbados are spiritual
projections of what God will do to Latin America spiritually (and to that small country literally). In the measure that Barbados shares in Latin America's
(L.A.'s) Korah attitudes, in that measure it shall be harshly judged. Why?
Because, when it is time for Korah to be judged, God's command is:
Get away from Korah, for the
time has come to destroy him.
Get out of the way, for no
pastoral "human" shield
shall dissuade Me from executing My judgment.
Get out of My way, for the
time of My vindication is at hand.
"23And the LORD spake
unto Moses, saying, 24Speak unto the congregation, saying,
Get you up from about the
tabernacle of Korah,
Dathan, and Abiram. 25And Moses rose up and went unto Dathan and
Abiram; and the elders of Israel followed him. 26And he spake unto
the congregation, saying, Depart, I pray you, from the tents of these wicked
men, and touch nothing of theirs,
lest ye be consumed in all their
sins." (Numbers 16:23-26)
"44And the LORD spake
unto Moses, saying, 45Get
you up from among this congregation, that I may consume them as in a moment.
And they fell upon their faces." (Numbers 16:44-45)
In other words,
whenever Korah is judged, there is bound to be much "collateral damage",
because
God's
executioners are no longer held accountable for the lives of the people
standing by Korah's side. Such people have already been warned in the
Spirit, and those who stubbornly refuse to heed the invisible
trumpet blasts of the
Spirit (because they believe in the
queenship of the
soul and hate "taking orders" from the
Spirit) shall suffer the consequences of
their arrogance. This is the spiritual reason why Lebanon suffered so much
"collateral damage" from Israel's attacks. Despite the many warnings, Lebanon
saw no danger in having Hezbollah Korah "by her side", operating in her
territory. Therefore, without warning, the
wrath of
the God of
Israel suddenly
rained
down
upon her, a
rain of judgment that was sparked by an "innocent little" kidnapping of 2
Israeli soldiers. Whoever
"kills" His "2
witnesses" shall face the wrath of God, a wrath that is not greatly
concerned about "collateral damage".
The unhealthy
connection between Latin America (L.A.) and Barbados can also be seen in the fact that Barbados
has many undeveloped areas with marshes and mangrove swamps. As we have
said
before, L.A. is a spiritual swampland, and it shall remain as such,
even when God's glory fills the Earth (Habakkuk
2:14). There is a
difference, however, between Barbados and Latin America. As a region, L.A. has
already been irremediably cast off, never to be taken into account again.
This is not the case with Barbados.
Charlemagne vs. Buc Rogers
As the Lord has had
me writing this, He has constantly brought to my heart the name "Charlemagne". The fatman-Charles
spirit that is preventing Barbados from fulfilling its "green pirate" calling is
the "Charlemagne spirit". According to
wikipedia.org, Charlemagne brought many good
reforms, which are known as the "Carolingian Renaissance". However, as indicated
in another
wikipedia.org article, this "renaissance" was confined to the
clergy
and did not lead to a generalized "cultural breakout". This emphasizes the fact
that the Charlemagne spirit brings "ministerial elitism".
Interestingly enough,
Charlemagne was born in Belgium, the country which the Lord prompted us
to write about when we wrote on the "Red-bearded" man in the
Stowaway posting. Belgium represents the spirit of civil war that results
from divided compromise. The tolerance of the "Belgian Charlemagne spirit" in
Barbados is driving God to declare a spiritual "civil war". Once that civil war
is decreed, inevitable green-horse judgments will be on their way.
As I thought about
"Charlemagne", the Lord began to say to my heart that the name of his adversary
is "Buc Rogers". According to a
names-meaning website,
the name "Roger" means "famous spear". As we have said
before,
"spears" are spiritually related to the green
horse of the Apocalypse. Therefore, the name "Buc Rogers" (i.e.-
"Buccaneer Spears") represents God's irreverent green-horse riders.
According to articles
on
wikipedia.org,
the fictional character "Buck Rogers" evolved from a Philip Francis Nowlan
novella which first appeared in the August 1928 issue of the magazine "Amazing
Stories". Later, in the 1960s, this novella and its sequel (entitled "The
Airlords
of Hans") were combined into a paperback novel entitled "Armageddon 2419 A.D.".
In the Buck Rogers story, the main character (originally called "Anthony
Rogers") was trapped in a cave-in and became exposed to radioactive gas that
placed him in a state of "suspended animation". He woke up 492 years later, in
the year 2419, and became a member of a "cooperative gang" that fought
(guerilla-style) to free America from the influence of the Hans in the so-called
"Second War of Independence". All of this correlates with the green horse and
the battle against Charlemagne in the following ways:
|
As we have said before, green-horse riders are
spiritually "radioactive".
Therefore, Buck Rogers' exposure to radioactive gas correlates with the
spiritual nature of green-horse riders.
|
|
As we have said before, the name "Anthony",
when used in a negative spiritual sense, points to ministers who consider
themselves to be of a higher "caste" than the rest of their brethren. John
F. Dille convinced the creator of Buck Rogers to call the comic strip "Buck
Rogers", the name by which the character became widely known. This subtle
transformation from "Anthony" to "Buck" is a figure of believers who, like
Nathanael,
were once submissively operating under the "Anthony" covering but who heeded
the Son of God's call and became "buck-aneers" with no reverence for
man's sacred cows
but with an
utter reverence for the Lord God of Israel.
|
|
The word "Armageddon"
in "Armageddon 2419 A.D." speaks of the spiritual battle in the "valley of
decision" (Joel 3:12, Revelation 16:16). No half-hearted commitment to God's
ways will do anymore. God is calling man to decide between His ways and
man's ways. Those who put on their green "Buck Rogers" robe shall remain,
and those who stay with their "Charlemagne" robes shall be wiped out. The
green horse is a horse of
no
compromise, and it pressures everyone around him to "take a side".
|
|
The war narrated in "Armageddon 2419 A.D." is
not a battle between independent nations, but rather an
internal conflict, an internal civil war, which correlates with
the green horse, since green-horse judgments are sent by God after He
decrees "civil war" in the spirit realm.
|
|
The year 2419 is
comprised of the numbers "24" and "19", and it correlates with everything
that we said about the number "1924" in the
Stowaway article
(1924 was the year when both the writer and the drawer of the "Redbeard" comic series
were born in Belgium).
Therefore, the number "2419" speaks of a green-horse army rising up in
judgment against those who refused to touch the "untouchable"

The "cooperative
gang" that Buck Rogers belonged to speaks of the small gangs of "communistically
organized"
pirate
prophets who are operating in the spirit
realm, unleashing God's judgments upon the Earth and bringing about the
restoration of all things. Therefore, the "cooperative gang" points to
green-horse riders, since green-horse riders are
buccaneer
prophet-pastors.

The fact that Buck Rogers emerged from a cave
where he was all but "dead to the world" for 492 years is a figure of
God's green-horse riders who
rise in
resurrection from the
Sheol
cave to wreak havoc upon the structures of man.

The number "492" is equal to
41 times 12. In a negative sense, the number "41"
speaks of "Amorite fornication"; and, based on what we have
studied
before, we can
say that the number "12" speaks of the time when the believer (and the
Church in general) must break away
from any
type of "pastoral-matriarchy control" in order to mature spiritually.
Therefore, the fact that Buck Rogers slept for 492 (41 times 12) years
speaks of believers who are willing to "sleep through" the reign of Amorite
man and who rise up when it is time to overthrow the matriarchal rule of
soulish man. This "sleeping through" involves the willingness to
die rather than submit to the rule of
Amorite man.

In "Armageddon 2419 A.D.", Buck Rogers fights in
the so-called "Second War of Independence". This correlates with the
spiritual calling of green-horse riders, since, as we have studied before,
they come to terminate the rule of the
Old-Covenant
intermediaries so that all believers may enter into a free and direct
New-Covenant
relationship with God. Just like the fighters in the first American War of
Independence, God's green-horse riders come to free their fellow man from
the rule of oppressive Amorite kings. Through their spiritual operations,
the Ark of the Covenant is
revealed to the
entire Earth so that all may have direct access to it and so that God's
fearsome Glory may fill the Earth (Habakkuk
2:14). |
As
the Lord has had me typing all of the above, He has brought to my heart the phrase
"Enlightenment vs. Romanticism". In the "Turban
threat" posting, the Lord had us write about the Romanticism movement of the
late 18th century, a movement which emphasized human
emotions and intuition in an effort to counteract the more "Girgashitely
rational" approach of the Enlightenment. In Barbados, due to the Charlemagne
spirit, "Enlightenment" is dominant, and God is raising a pirate "Romanticism"
spirit to destroy that dominance. Therefore, the battle in Barbados (and in
America) is a battle between "enlightened" Charlemagne and "romantic" Buc
Rogers. Charlemagne lost the opportunity he had to propel Europe into an era of
cultural, political, and economic progress. Because of this, Europe went through
additional centuries of "darkness" and "underdevelopment". The Charlemagne
spirit represents "nominal improvements that keep you
trapped in the past". Buc Rogers represents "true
transformations that propel you into the future".
{We recommend that you read an article posted on
wikipedia.org
which deals with the "Dark Ages" and with the conflict between the
"Enlightenment" and "Romanticism"}
It is no spiritual coincidence
that hurricane "Ernesto" pounded the American states of North and South Carolina
as this word on Barbados was being drafted. The word "Ernesto" means "Earnest"
in Spanish. According to Webster's Dictionary, one of the meanings for the word
"earnest" is "zealous, determined", and another meaning is "a portion of
something given in advance as a pledge". Therefore, God is declaring that
"Ernesto" is an "advance payment" pledging (i.e.- guaranteeing) that worse
things are too come, for His Buc-Rogers green-horse riders are consumed by the
zeal of God and are determined to pay the spiritual price necessary to unleash
the destruction of "Carolina the Great" (i.e.- the soul of Charlemagne). The
fact that the name of the hurricane is a Spanish name (something which happens
very infrequently) also has prophetic significance. Because of the spiritual
contamination from Latin America that America has tolerated, a harsh green-horse
judgment has been guaranteed, and it is looming as a
turban in the
horizon. It is no coincidence that news came out yesterday (September 2, 2006)
of a long video featuring a turban-wearing former American calling all Americans
to "peacefully convert to Islam, or else...". When green-horse Joseph's call to
peacefully surrender is ignored,
Hittite
Yusuf's call to
"peacefully surrender" shall be heard, and terrible terror shall be on its way.
A pressure to shift
from Philip to Nathanael
God wants to raise
"Nathanaels" in Barbados, but the
"minister-loving"
Philip spirit is still dominating the scene. Philip saw Christ as the "son
of Joseph", meaning that Philip only saw Him in the context of his
humanity (John 1:45,
John 14:8-11).
Nathanael, however, saw Christ as the "son of God"
(John 1:49). Therefore, we can say that the "Philip spirit" prompts you to see
"Christ" (i.e.- the Anointed One) as an important human figure worthy of
reverence. By contrast, the "Nathanael spirit" prompts you to see "Christ" as a
weak "son of man"
who, in His weakness, is also a "son
of God". Once Nathanael is allowed to be
manifested, the "Jacob's
ladder" referred to by the Lord in
John 1:50-51 will be established over
Barbados, and God's glory shall be seen there.
It is no coincidence that the "Buck Rogers"
character evolved from a novella by Philip Francis Nowlan. As we said
above, he originally named the character "Anthony Rogers", but
John F. Dille convinced him to give the
character the now-well-known name of "Buck Rogers". The name "Anthony"
means "Worthy of praise". This emphasizes the fact that the Philip spirit
prompts us to "praise Charlemagne", while the Nathanael spirit prompts us to
praise God for His manifestation in man. Nathanael knows that that
manifestation
occurs as the
anointing moves in us as
we choose to believe
(1
John 2:20-27).
God is birthing a
latter-rain outpouring in the UK. Because of the spiritual connection between
the UK and Barbados, Barbados is being pressured into the same spiritual process
that the UK is going through. Barbados is lagging behind, so God is putting on the
pressure. This has led to the many
dreams and visions that have been
received there.
Barbados, as an
independent country, is about to turn "40" on November 30, 2006. Right now,
Barbados is "39", which correlates with what the Lord has had us saying about
America standing at "39".
God is calling Barbados not to get stuck between 38 and 40, as was the case with
America. The signs of revival that have been seen in various congregations in
Barbados is a sign that Barbados is past the "38" stage and is being called to
cross the Jordan and enter into its "40" stage. However, just like America,
Barbados is hesitating. Therefore, God is telling Barbados not to "turn back" as
America did. Otherwise, it shall face the same type of sudden judgments that
are coming over America in the coming years (until May 2009).
As I reread the
above paragraph just now, the Lord brought to my heart the phrase "reluctant
Lots". In a spiritual sense, Barbados is acting like a "reluctant
Lot" that is struggling to break from its attachment to "Philip
Charlemagne", even
when it has a heart that desires to do the right thing.
Spiritually speaking, just as
Reggie
White died at a relatively young age in Charlotte, North Carolina,
many "pirates" have been prematurely killed in Barbados by the "Charlemagne"
spirit, and their blood is clamoring for
revenge from God. If Barbados does not turn back from its minister-revering
Charlemagne spirit, God's green waves shall most definitely come upon the land
of the "bearded ones", for the only bearded ones in that island should be the "Redbeard"
pirates, not the "bearded know-it-all gurus".
God is calling
Barbados to welcome His green-horse visitation. The spiritual name of the
judgment that is looming over the horizon is "Hurricane Charley".
