On October 8, 2013, I had a dream in which I was standing alone in a large corridor of a theatre of the arts. Two ballerinas were walking side by side in my direction. One wore a costume and tutu that was all white. The other wore a costume that was identical to the ballerina on her right, with the exceptions that her costume had a random, holstein-like pattern of black and white. She wore a matching headpiece that covered her skull. The headpiece had what appeared to be fiber optics extending from it that moved like very thin feathers as she walked.
The dancer on my left, the one whose costume was white, moved with the fluidity and grace befitting a ballerina. She remained silent as she looked at the other dancer who was telling her something that I couldn't hear. The body of the ballerina on my right jerked violently and twisted into strange movements that were not only unexpected from a ballerina, but reminded me of short circuited robot. She struggled to speak because her head and mouth jerked as badly as the rest of her body. The contrast was so stark, and the contorted ballerina so unnatural, that the scene was not only disturbing, it grieved my spirit.
As I awakened from the dream it was with the knowledge that the mark of the beast will consume. It will alter the body, mind, spirit, and soul. And I suspect its very DNA; thus making it less than human and irredeemable. Revelation 14:9-12 You may think the preceding statement about the alteration of human DNA to be a bit extreme. Well, we now know that immunizations change our DNA. So if vaccinations can do that, is it really far fetched to think that the mark would alter it to the extreme? Do I expect people to be walking around as the short circuited ballerina in my dream? No, although Revelation 16:1-2 does point out that those who receive the mark and worship its image will break out in harmful and painful sores, the Bible also tells us that people will be going about their lives as they did in the days of Noah. Honestly, I expect changes that will be most obvious will be the qualities that make humans able to feel and act on things like compassion, will be erased and their thoughts will be toward evil, continually.
This mark will be deceptively marketed as humanity's only hope for survival, and for those who "seek to save their lives ...", accepting it will be a given. But what about those who choose to lose their lives for His sake? It is that question that has prevented me from further writing this post. What could I possibly say about that that would bring the slightest bit of comfort or some sense of consolation to those who will not love their lives so much as to lose them? The answer came three days ago through the Inbox of my email account. The Berean - Church of the Great God is the daily devotional I am subscribed to and that day's devotion answered my prayer. What follows is in part, a paraphrase of that devotion.
In Jewish tradition, when a man wanted to marry a woman he would pour wine into a cup and offer her to drink from it. If she accepted the cup and drank from it, they were engaged to be married. If she refused, there would be no marriage. If she accepted his proposal and drank from his cup, he would then go away for an unspecified period of time to make a home for them at his father's house. She was expected to make herself ready so when he returned, she would be free to go be with him. The only way that she knew he was returning was to hear the sound of a shofar that preceded his arrival. The first time I heard this tradition, I was overwhelmed with emotion at the undeniable similarities at the symbolism Messiah Yeshua used when He spoke similar words to his disciples. To drink from the cup that He offers means that we belong to Him, and one day, when the shofar sounds, we will either be raised from the dead or rise from the ground, both groups meeting Him in the air to forever be with Him!
However what isn't often mentioned is that there is another side to the cup. The bride to be is supposed to remain chaste; faithful to the one to whom she has been betrothed; forsaking all others. Making whatever changes are necessary in her life in order to join her life to his. Walking in a manner that would not dishonor his name or his reputation. Willing to suffer whatever the groom suffered. We must honestly ask ourselves, why is this truth so often left out of the story?!
When the mother of James and John asked if her sons could sit on either side of Messiah Yeshua in His Kingdom, He replied that she didn't know what she asked, that that choice was not up to Him. In turning to the men, He asked them if they could drink from the same cup and be baptized with the same baptism? Knowing well the betrothal tradition, they said that they could. Yet in perhaps their excitement and/or zeal, I don't know that the men considered the other side of the cup when they answered Him. If not, in time they would know exactly what He meant.
Those of you who read this blog are probably of the belief that we are nearing the time of Messiah's return. If that is so, then you know that the time before His coming will be unlike anything the world has ever seen before, or will ever see again. Tragically, even as we are moving ever increasingly into that time, members of the clergy are not known for presenting both sides of Yeshua's cup. However this much we know is true. HE never lied or omitted anything. And His Word, contrary to what you might have been taught, is eternal!
So if the Scofield Study Bible was wrong and rapture doesn't occur ...until Messiah comes back as He went up into the clouds. And if the very popular Left Behind books and movies (though I wasn't one of the people who read them or watched them) were wrong when they included that people "forced" to receive the mark of the beast could still be saved. Then what are we to do? This may sound simplistic, but truth often is. The time to be making difficult choices is not when we are faced with temptation, but before. But with that said, the sad reality is that for all of the bravado that may come out of a person, if they aren't already living a life of godliness, they aren't likely to begin when the temptation is before them.
The foundational truth that I am trying to convey is this: You were created by an Elohim who loves you with a Love beyond your comprehension! And you are hated with a hatred that won't be satisfied until you, a person made in the image of your Creator, is consumed in the fires of the the second death. It is a truth so simple that a child could understand. The Father made it that way and gave us the choice because He IS Love.
I could think of no better way to end this post than with a quote from the devotion I received three days ago:
"Part of what Jesus' cup entails is suffering. When we drink of His cup, we are saying we are willing to suffer with Him and experience with Him whatever He ordains for us. We symbolically pledge that we are willing to walk down the same path He walked, with similar consequences.
We do not just drink the wine at Passover - we drink "of the cup" of Passover, meaning we are proclaiming our willingness to share in similar trials as Jesus did. We proclaim we are willing to endure whatever He has appointed to us as our lot.
We are also identifying ourselves with Him exclusively: We are cupbearers to the King of kings and to Him only. Psalm 16:5 says, 'O Lord, You are the portion of my inheritance and my cup; you maintain my lot.' The Eternal is our cup! Do we grasp the meaning of this? We cannot serve two masters (Matthew 6:24). We cannot simultaneously identify with Christ and Satan. Our lives, our actions, our words, our thoughts, continuously announce which is our father, God in heaven or Satan. Drinking of Jesus' cup means to live His way of life and renounce Satan's ways."

A Prelude to a Coming Great Deception
As I sit down at my computer to start this post on an unseasonably warm day in October, I'm finding that the sunshine and warm breezes are a stark contrast to the heaviness of heart that I feel as begin to write. However the growing sense of the Holy Spirit is urging me to continue. It's an urge that I haven't felt like this in two years, but two years isn't too long to forget what it feels like.
In the early morning hours of September 16, 2017, I had a quick dream in which I was on the phone with a sister in Messiah who has chosen to live a life that is truly set apart. The friendship she once had with the world has ended. Instead, her greatest desire and focus in life is on the One who created her, gave His life for her, and is coming back for her so that she can forever be with Him in His Father's house. Until that Glorious Day, she picks up her cross and chooses to follow Him, walking as He walked, along the ancient paths.
So hearing what she had to say on the phone, caused me to wake abruptly from the dream and ask the Father if she was okay or if she was being tempted to stray from the truth? His Spirit responded with four words, "If it were possible." What did she say to cause me such concern? Some of you won't like the answer and may be tempted to stop reading, but I hope that you will continue. If for no other reason than because this is the first part to a two part post. So if you are angry, I hope that curiosity will keep you reading to the end.
As we spoke on the phone in my dream, she related to me that she had watched the Kirk Cameron movie, Saving Christmas. She told me that his arguments sounded plausible and that she could understand how people watching it could believe that Christmas and even Santa Claus were given to us by the Father. Her saying that is what caused me to awaken from the dream and question if she was being deceived. However, relieved by the Father's response, I knew that what was taking place in the dream was an example of Matthew 24:24.
In 2013 I wrote a series of four posts on the topic of Christmas, the first of which was an introduction. I will leave them linked below. However even a small amount of study into history reveals that the holiday has nothing to do with the birth of the Son of God and everything to do with the birth of the sun gods. It is a sad reality that must be faced, and once it is learned, individuals are left to make a decision. It isn't just December 25th that is the issue, it is all the pagan traditions surrounding the holiday. His Word is clear. We are not to worship Him in the same way that pagans worship their gods. I honestly believe that one day all of us will find out from Messiah Himself that Christmas and Easter are nothing more than golden calves in Christianity.
Wide spread deception and confusion are here, and more is coming; a fact that isn't remotely hard to believe given the condition of the world and its people. A deception so cunning and vast that even the very elect could be deceived ...if it were possible. Intersecting with that is the knowledge that we are at this place in history where Christians have been woefully taught and pitifully prepared! Given the amount of information that is accessible from our finger tips, each of us, including (and perhaps especially?) ministers and church leaders, are left without excuse. One day we will behold the face of the One who left His Father's side to put on flesh and tabernacle among us. One who was obedient to the point of death ....on a cross ...for us. Beholding His face, what argument do you think will matter? "But...my spouse, my children, my grandchildren, my family, my friends, my denomination, my church! You understood, right?!" Possessing the ability to imagine putting only myself in that place of looking into His eyes, the following words are already forming in my mind. Matthew 10:37-39
The question must be asked, if we're not willing to come out of this deception, how easily will we spot the ones that are yet to come?
Scriptures: James 4:4, John 14:3, Luke 9:23, 1 John 2:3-6, Jeremiah 6:16-19, Deuteronomy 12:28-30, James 3:1, John 1:14, Philippians 2:8

A Time to Rejoice ~ A Time to Mourn ~ A Time to Heal
It's early evening, just before Sabbath, as I begin to write this post. My husband just stepped out with our dog for a walk after supper. The sky is heavy with dark rain clouds and the breeze coming through the opened windows reminds me of the season we are entering. The evening is a perfect reflection of my heart as I write about a subject that has been on it for nearly a month.
As you read, you will discover as I have, that this post really began back in February of 2009. It was at that time that I had submitted a letter to the editor of a few area newspapers. The one I am quoting from for the purposes of this post, was published on February 17, 2009.
On February 10 our youngest grandson turned 1 year old. Naturally that milestone brought with it feelings of a love beyond understanding, great joy, and disbelief at how quickly a year can pass by when you're having fun! Every time I look at him, I am in awe! His happy personality is growing about as quickly as his body and his mind. Not only does he crawl faster than any baby I can remember, he's starting to take steps on his own! I met him in a hospital room on an early Sunday afternoon in 2008, and only one year later it's hard to remember life without him.
So whenever I hear about new legislation concerning the painful and divisive subject of abortion, I can't think of it without considering the countless lives that are forever altered by it. I could list a few facts about it, but a quick Internet search lends that information easily enough.
Its politics, legal history, and its staggering numbers are there. And so are the arguments - pro and con. What is harder to find, and harder to face, are the individuals who are left behind. Like girls and women who are scared, abandoned, and pressured into the hardest decision of their lives; and the people who are directly involved in causing them to make that decision. There are those whose hearts long for children they can't conceive. And the most helpless of the innocent, the ones who are forced to pay the highest price. Take a moment and just think with me, when it comes to abortion, honestly, who wins?
Last Saturday our families gathered together to celebrate the life of a most precious child! When I held him in my arms and breathed in his sweetness, I again thanked God for him. I smiled at his parents and prayed a special blessing upon them for choosing to grace all of our lives by sharing him with us. And in those moments, like so many of the milestones that mark our lives, this year my joy was bitter sweet as I paused to think of all of those who are left behind.
This post had another beginning of sorts, back on March 1, 2013. It was that day that I awakened hearing the word, "Restitution". Needless to say, I immediately began to pray about what the Father was trying to tell me. I asked Him such things as, What have I done that I need to make restitution for? Nothing came to me. Did I borrow something that I have forgotten about and need to return? Silence. Who do I need to apologize to and ask for forgiveness? No name surfaced in my mind. But throughout the morning, the word kept being repeated. At mid-afternoon, I laid down for a nap but as I did, I prayed again that He would show me what it was He was trying to tell me through that single, implicating word. When I began to awaken a short time later, it was to the words, "Stem cell research". Fear gripped me as my eyes shot open. I believed that I had my answer to prayer. As I continued to ask Him for insight as to what I thought He was trying to tell me, the impression that came was that there was coming a time when YHVH would be making restitution for all the innocent blood that has been shed upon this land and upon the earth. When I asked for confirmation, Proverbs 24:11-12 was recited in my spirit.
11 Rescue those who are being taken away to death; hold back those who are stumbling to the slaughter. 12 If you say, "Behold, we did not know this," does not he who weighs the heart perceive it? Does not he who keeps watch over your soul know it, and will he not repay man according to his work?
Back when this word was given to me, I knew that human embryos were being used in the study of stem cell research. That's how I knew in my spirit what the Father was referring to when He spoke the words. This practice takes the killing of human life all the way back to its very beginning. As the following article so clearly states, "It is the killing of one person (actually many persons) in the theoretic attempt to save other people. Is it justifiable to kill one person in order to spare someone else from disease? At its essence, the driving philosophy behind embryonic stem cell research is one that places less value on individual human life than it does on the 'greater human good'. While this may sound altruistic on the surface, it has been the historic basis for all manner of human rights abuses." www.abort73.com/abortion_facts/stem_cell_research_and_abortion/
Interestingly, at the publication and update of the article, it was shown that adult stem cells have helped with over 73 diseases. No matter how they spin it, embryonic stem cell research is unjustified.
Most of you reading this blog have learned of the recent discovery of the practices within the clinics of Planned Parenthood. If not, here is an article you can refer to.
It was after learning about this atrocity that Anna C decided to come forth with her own heartbreaking story. I share it with all of you in the hopes that it will help someone, somewhere.
The book of Enoch tells us that it was a "Watcher" a fallen angel (demon) with the name Kasdeja, Kisdeja, who, "Taught the children of men all the wicked smitings of spirits and demons, and the smitings of the embryo in the womb, that it may pass away." How much more time do we need? How many more lives must be ended and harmed before we humans, who call ourselves civilized, stop listening to the lies of the servants of the god of the dead?
http://www.abort73.com/abortion_facts/ancient_abortion_history/
In preparing for this post, I asked the Father where was the church in 1973 when abortion became legal in America? Instantly, images from the 60's rushed to my mind. As flagrant sin flooded the nation, it also infiltrated the church. Our own flesh, whether in fear, apathy, or lust, kept us from standing up and speaking out against this carnage; this lie from the pit of hell! Scripture tells us in Deuteronomy 32:35 and again in Romans 12:19 that vengeance belongs to YHVH. He will have His restitution, for He is not mocked. We will reap what we have sown. Galatians 6:7-8 Judgement begins at His house. 1 Peter 4:17
Again, Proverbs 24:11-12 is being quoted in my spirit. "Rescue those who are being taken away to death; hold back those who are stumbling to the slaughter. If you say, 'Behold, we did not know this,' does not he who weighs the heart perceive it? Does not he who keeps watch over your soul know it, and will he not repay man according to his work?"
To all the girls, women, fathers, and families, who have been deceived, bless your hearts, there is grace and forgiveness in the One who knit you together and loves you without condition! In narrowing down my research for this post I was especially drawn to the Elliot Institute. Please reach out. You are not alone.

Upon reading this post, a dear sister sent me the following article where Gianna Jessen, whom this movie was written about, addressed Congress on September 9, 2015. Here is her testimony.

A Time for Every Purpose ...Sackcloth and Ashes
On Thursday, May 21, 2015, I awoke with The Stars and Stripes Forever playing in my mind. https://en.Wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Stars_and_Stripes_Forever. Strange, I thought, considering that I hadn't heard the song recently and don't recall it ever coming to mind. When I awoke from sleep the following morning, the song was again playing in my mind. This happened for three more days. On the four days leading up to Memorial Day and on May 25th. On May 26th, my mind returned to its usual quiet upon awakening.
The song was published in 1897 and was received by the American public with great enthusiasm. In fact, as the Wikipedia article states, "The Stars and Stripes Forever is a patriotic American march widely considered to be the magnum opus of composer John Philip Sousa. By a 1987 act of the U.S. Congress, it is the official National March of the United States of America."
I knew that the five-day occurrence of awakening with the song already playing in my head was not only significant, but I could not shake the foreboding that accompanied it. My immediate family and two sisters in Messiah knew about the impression that came with it was that something might occur on July 4th or between Memorial Day and the 4th of July, 2015, that would forever alter that song, making its message null and void.
Shift to the evening of Saturday, June 27th. Sleep refused to come that night. I prayed and tossed and turned. When I would finally drift off, I would awaken within moments with my spirit more stirred than the last time I awoke. Giving up on a night of sleep, I made my way into the living room. Our shades were still open and even without my contacts in, I could see that the moon resembled a blood moon. I sat down on the sofa and asked the Father what was going on ...but not really wanting to hear. Not surprisingly, with my state of double-mindedness, no response came. James 1:5-8 After some time spent with my mind searching for what could be going on, wondering if I had done or said or thought something that was causing the greater and greater uneasiness within, or if it was something without, I eventually grabbed my laptop and looked at my emails. It was then that I found out the Supreme Court's ruling on same-sex marriage and I knew the reason for the disturbance within. I had not learned about the ruling earlier because my husband and I observe YHVH's Sabbath Day and I spent Friday in preparation for it and on that particular Friday I didn't check the news or log onto the internet.
The feelings that welled up in me I can only describe as how one feels when finding out that an ailing loved one had died and that that death would perpetuate even more tragedy. When I slowly walked back into our bedroom around 7:00 that morning in that sorrowful haze, trying to decide whether or not I should try to sleep, once again I uttered the words, "Oh Father!" To which He replied, "Sackcloth and ashes."
(Esther Chapter Four)
As people around the country gather this year to celebrate the 4th of July with fireworks, cookouts, and parades, a remnant of the people will be mourning with the knowledge that The Stars and Stripes (were not) Forever, and that greater tragedy is coming. There are no words for me to express the depth of my grief and the sick feeling of knowing that the things that I have been shown are going to become reality.
YHVH is long suffering and patient, not wanting anyone to perish. His laws are for our good and for the good of those around us. He waited for this nation to repent and it refused His patient love and mocked and scorned His messengers; questioning their walks with Him rather than each person examining themselves to see if they are in the faith. 2 Corinthians 13:5
I have the privilege of being related to someone who is the most loving and forgiving, patient individual, I have ever known. When the ill treatment of others passes a certain point in their life, they will calmly tell me, "I don't want to talk about it." If they say anymore, they realize that they could either give full vent to their anger and end up sinning in the process, or their emotion would overrule the wisdom of their Father.
Last night after learning of some of the things that have been reported as happening since last Friday, things that I won't write about because it is shameful to even speak of such things Ephesians 5:12, I went off to bed and covered my face with my hands, feeling the shame of those who have no shame. I told Him how sorry I was for all that is taking place. It is as if the pit of hell has opened up and every sacrilegious and lascivious act that can be conceived in the mind are being acted out in the public arena. As I cried to Him, He spoke to my spirit, "I don't want to talk about it."
He knows what that phrase means to me. He has had His fill. It is sorrow mingled with fury.

The song was published in 1897 and was received by the American public with great enthusiasm. In fact, as the Wikipedia article states, "The Stars and Stripes Forever is a patriotic American march widely considered to be the magnum opus of composer John Philip Sousa. By a 1987 act of the U.S. Congress, it is the official National March of the United States of America."
I knew that the five-day occurrence of awakening with the song already playing in my head was not only significant, but I could not shake the foreboding that accompanied it. My immediate family and two sisters in Messiah knew about the impression that came with it was that something might occur on July 4th or between Memorial Day and the 4th of July, 2015, that would forever alter that song, making its message null and void.
Shift to the evening of Saturday, June 27th. Sleep refused to come that night. I prayed and tossed and turned. When I would finally drift off, I would awaken within moments with my spirit more stirred than the last time I awoke. Giving up on a night of sleep, I made my way into the living room. Our shades were still open and even without my contacts in, I could see that the moon resembled a blood moon. I sat down on the sofa and asked the Father what was going on ...but not really wanting to hear. Not surprisingly, with my state of double-mindedness, no response came. James 1:5-8 After some time spent with my mind searching for what could be going on, wondering if I had done or said or thought something that was causing the greater and greater uneasiness within, or if it was something without, I eventually grabbed my laptop and looked at my emails. It was then that I found out the Supreme Court's ruling on same-sex marriage and I knew the reason for the disturbance within. I had not learned about the ruling earlier because my husband and I observe YHVH's Sabbath Day and I spent Friday in preparation for it and on that particular Friday I didn't check the news or log onto the internet.
The feelings that welled up in me I can only describe as how one feels when finding out that an ailing loved one had died and that that death would perpetuate even more tragedy. When I slowly walked back into our bedroom around 7:00 that morning in that sorrowful haze, trying to decide whether or not I should try to sleep, once again I uttered the words, "Oh Father!" To which He replied, "Sackcloth and ashes."

S-atan's Coming Lie - A S-trong Delusion
Upon awakening on Sunday, May 24th, I received a phone call from a woman who asked me to interpret a dream that she had experienced. I took notes while she spoke and as she related the dream, two things were clear. The first was Proverbs 18:10, "The name of the Lord is a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it, and is safe." The second clarity was the fact that the dream was a warning, but to what I didn't know. I told her that I would pray and see if the Father would reveal the meaning and get back with her.
The following weeks have been a blur of activity for my husband and me. When evening comes, I have found that after the dishes are done and put away, all I want to do is sit down and relax. However on the evening of June 9th, I felt strongly impressed to sit down and send her an e mail that would relate to her what the Father had revealed about her dream.
It is with her permission that I share it with you.
It is with her permission that I share it with you.
In the dream, she was the age that she is now, but she was standing in the playground of the school where she had attended Kindergarten. She looked up into the sky and saw a very disturbing sight. The only thing that she could relate it to was a kind of parachute that was coming toward the earth, but it was like no parachute she had ever seen before. This "thing" was in the shape of an S with a rectangle attached to it.
A woman whom the dreamer knew to be an old friend, drove by on the street in front of her, rolled down her window and called out to her by name, telling her to, "Go behind the tower!" With that, she drove off, leaving her standing there.
Left alone on the playground, she looked back into the sky as the S-rectangle came closer to the earth. Afraid and confused, she wondered what the woman meant and considered that maybe she should go to the tower on top of the hill that was right by where she had lived as a child in the home of her parents.
That ended the dream.
In the few days following, the only thing that came to me as I prayed about it was that the impression of it being a warning, not only remained, but grew stronger, as did the instruction of Proverbs 18:10. Then one day while in the midst of prayer while I was working, the revelation came to me like it had been dropped into my lap. Realizing what He was trying to show her, I prayed that she would have ears to hear and the heart to understand and obey because I thought she may reject the meaning, and therefore the warning He had given her would be ignored as mere nonsense.
This is where I had to begin her letter, by telling her that such a time is coming upon the earth that contains the magnitude of which the world has never seen. As the Scripture tells us, "And except those days should be shortened, there should be no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened." Matthew 24:22
I went on to tell her that she has been warned about the times that are coming. Great lengths are taking place in order to bring the government and religion together, in order to convince us of a lie. I explained that even the talk of coming aliens is taking place all over the world by those in government, religion, and science.
The Common Sense Show - The Coming Alien Invasion of the Earth
I told her that the pressure to conform to the one world government/religion will be exceedingly strong and even appear to be the right (and safest) thing to do. If we are not grounded in His Word and in His Spirit, we will be deceived. THAT'S how great the deception will be! I told her that regardless of what she may have been taught or has understood to be the truth all of these years, she may indeed be on earth longer than she expects to be as evidenced by the warning she's been given.
Which brought me to the meaning of her dream. I reiterated that she was in the area of what would be her childhood home and neighborhood. The very places that represented the first two layers in the foundation of her education. She saw a strange S and attached rectangle, floating down to the earth. She was told by an old friend to run behind the tower. She wondered if the tower was the one on the hill right by her childhood home. She was understandably confused and frightened.
At that point, I wrote to her what I had discovered a couple of years ago when I looked more deeply at what Scripture means by, "The name of the Lord ..." I simply wrote to her what I had written back then in a journal. In Hebrew, the word for name, is Shem, and it means much more than what a person answers to when being addressed. It means reputation, fame, glory, memorial. But at its root, it also means to be a kindred/relative to the one with the name. It means to mark with a sign. A stigma. A mark with which one is marked to reveal that a person belongs to another. The Father's name is where He fixes Himself. He made His presence in the temple because He set His shem upon it. If we are truly His temple, He fixes His shem on us. So in truth, only those who honestly strive to know Him through His Holy Word and His Holy Spirit and thereby obey His teachings and commands are the ones who are safe when running into the strong tower. 1 John 3:7
"32 And we are his witnesses of these things; and so is also the Holy Ghost, whom God hath given to them that obey him." Acts 5:32
"...the righteous runneth into it, and is safe." Who are the righteous? Again, we need to let Scripture define what the word means and not what we think it means. Based on what I wrote above you are probably getting an idea of the word's definition from within the pages of Scripture, but I will let a post that I read this past Friday night, explain. I received an e mail notice that evening that the writer of a blog had started to follow me so I in turn began to read some of her blog posts. She does an excellent job of relating the interpretation to the dream the Father had given her, as well as the Scriptural definition of the word righteous.
A crown of glory for the righteous - 2 Timothy 4:8
Continuing, I told the woman who called me to note that the woman in her dream instructed her to run behind the tower. That isn't good enough. It will mean the difference between spiritual (and perhaps physical) life or death. The protection is IN the tower, not behind it.
Now here comes the part where I really thought she may reject the interpretation because she was reared as a Roman Catholic and her extended family members are still steeped in that religion, but I had to be obedient to Him and reminded myself that she was the one who called me. If she rejected what I had to convey to her as being false, she certainly wouldn't be the first. :)
The book of Revelation describes who the Whore of Babylon is. Her description is found in Revelation 17. She is described as a female meaning a "church" but she is a harlot church that sprang forth from out of ancient Babylon; the place of the first false religion that fuels all of the others. It is also a false world system where the one world government springs from.
There is one color that the Roman Catholic Church left out of its vestments. It uses all the other colors that Moses was instructed to tell Aaron to include in their holy garments, except for blue.
"And of the blue, and purple, and scarlet, they made cloths of service, to do service in the holy place, and made the holy garments for Aaron; as the Lord commanded Moses." Exodus 39:1
"37 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
38 Speak unto the children of Israel, and bid them that they make them fringes in the borders of their garments throughout their generations, and that they put the fringe of the borders a ribband of blue:
39And it shall be unto you for a fringe, that ye may look upon it, and remember all of the commandments of the Lord, and do them; and that ye seek not after your own heart and your own eyes, after which ye to to a-whoring:
40That ye may remember, and do all my commandments, and be holy unto your God.
41 I am the Lord your God, which brought you out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: I am the Lord your God." Numbers 15:37-41
It is very clear that blue was to remind the Hebrew priests and the people of the commandments of YHVH. Again, blue was the only color that the Catholic religion left out of their priest's, bishop's, cardinal's, and pope's vestments.
Liturgical Vestments
I went on to tell her that I believed her dream was telling her to run INTO the strong tower, NOT behind it! I don't know what any of us will experience before we die or He returns, but she was warned that the things she hears or sees may indeed frighten and confuse her, especially if those things include supernatural beings coming to earth, but to remember that any reports or sightings of "aliens", are in truth, the work of demons. (or bogus)
She saw an S shape with a rectangle attached to it. The Father showed me that the S stood for Satan's lie. She was in her old neighborhood and wondered if she should run behind the tower by her parent's home. This is revealing that she may (or will) be tempted to run back to her beginnings, where the foundation of her education was formed, in the Catholic religion. The pull of her old friends and family members could become very strong. I explained that the ecumenical movement is gaining momentum and the respect of evangelical and pentecostal leaders all over the world as it encourages people to, "come back to their roots". The Roman Catholic (false) Church is NOT our roots! Our roots are in the ELOHIM of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. There is ONE God, ONE Faith, ONE Baptism. ONE God and Father of all. Ephesians 4:4-6 I told her that no matter how good or right it looks, or they make it sound to be, it is FALSE, and in time the whole world will know it but by then how many will have sold their souls for a bowl of soup or a crust of bread? Genesis 25:29-34
I told her to please understand that I am not speaking against the hundreds of thousands, perhaps millions of Catholic parishioners, but of those who are leading them. Number of Catholics worldwide according to BBC News
"Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him,
2 That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand.
3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;
4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he is God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.
5 Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things?
6 And now ye know what witholdeth that he might be revealed in his time.
7 For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way.
8 And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:
9 Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,
10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
13 But we are bound to give thanks alway to God for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, because God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth:
14 Whereunto he called you by our gospel, to the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.
15 Therefore, brethren, stand fast, and hold the traditions which ye have been taught, whether by word, or our epistle.
16 Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God, even our Father, which hath loved us, and hath given us everlasting consolation and good hope through grace,
17 Comfort your hearts, and stablish you in every good word and work." 2 Thessalonians 2
I finished her e mail with telling her that after she does all that she can to remember to STAND on the TRUTH of HIS UNCHANGING WORD! It was here that I ended her e mail with Ephesians 6:10-18:
"10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.
11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
12 For 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.
13 Wherefore 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.
14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; (guarding our hearts - the seat of our decision making, and internal organs)
15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;
16 Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.
17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:
18 Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for the saints; ..."
I gave Thanks to the Only One who is Worthy when she responded, because she believed what He had revealed!
Skip to Thursday, June 11th, late afternoon. My husband had come home from work and had run to town to complete and errand. While he was away, I sat down at my computer to look at a YouTube video that was on my mind. However one was in my feed of recommendations that I decided to click on, instead. I made it about half way through before shutting it off and waiting until after supper to watch it with my husband. To say that we were stunned by what we were watching is a gross understatement!
Do I agree with every aspect of this pastor's understanding of Scripture? No, but I respect him for doing his homework in matters of history and concerning what is taking place currently in our world. More than that even, I APPLAUD him for doing what most pastors and teachers in America will not do and that is to prepare his congregation for what is at our doors! He gave five sermons on EXACTLY what the woman's dream revealed! Neither she nor I had any idea when she came to me with it, the DEPTH that it would reveal!
In closing, one thing never came to me as I prayed about her dream and that was what the rectangle meant. As the pastor spoke of what is taking place, he mentioned four portals around the world. The four apexes of the rectangle refers to those four portals from which Satan's lie and strong delusion will come forth.
What is my sincere hope? That you will watch (or simply listen to) all of the sermons over the course of the next week and get your houses in order. Do I expect you to believe me or the pastor in the videos? To some of you who read this blog, frankly, No. But at the very least, I do expect you to get real serious real fast about your faith; your belief system; what you've been spoon fed by your favorite clergymen and women, teachers, and authors; your traditions; and especially the Word that you claim to believe (which is synonymous with obedience) from Genesis to Revelation.
Whether you take this advice or whether you don't, when the time comes, you will remember.
Shalom.

17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:
18 Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for the saints; ..."
I gave Thanks to the Only One who is Worthy when she responded, because she believed what He had revealed!
Skip to Thursday, June 11th, late afternoon. My husband had come home from work and had run to town to complete and errand. While he was away, I sat down at my computer to look at a YouTube video that was on my mind. However one was in my feed of recommendations that I decided to click on, instead. I made it about half way through before shutting it off and waiting until after supper to watch it with my husband. To say that we were stunned by what we were watching is a gross understatement!
Do I agree with every aspect of this pastor's understanding of Scripture? No, but I respect him for doing his homework in matters of history and concerning what is taking place currently in our world. More than that even, I APPLAUD him for doing what most pastors and teachers in America will not do and that is to prepare his congregation for what is at our doors! He gave five sermons on EXACTLY what the woman's dream revealed! Neither she nor I had any idea when she came to me with it, the DEPTH that it would reveal!
In closing, one thing never came to me as I prayed about her dream and that was what the rectangle meant. As the pastor spoke of what is taking place, he mentioned four portals around the world. The four apexes of the rectangle refers to those four portals from which Satan's lie and strong delusion will come forth.
What is my sincere hope? That you will watch (or simply listen to) all of the sermons over the course of the next week and get your houses in order. Do I expect you to believe me or the pastor in the videos? To some of you who read this blog, frankly, No. But at the very least, I do expect you to get real serious real fast about your faith; your belief system; what you've been spoon fed by your favorite clergymen and women, teachers, and authors; your traditions; and especially the Word that you claim to believe (which is synonymous with obedience) from Genesis to Revelation.
Whether you take this advice or whether you don't, when the time comes, you will remember.
Shalom.

Uncle Sam Held Captive
On August 17, 2013, I had a dream in which there were a few of us staying in a motel room. When I awoke, I didn't remember who any of them were, but I know that in the dream I was familiar with them and at ease in their presence.
It appeared that we were on the first floor, although elevated. The motel must have been located on a bit of a hill. Although it looked from the location of the grass that we were on the first floor, the street level was considerably lower than the floor of the room we were staying in.
The dream began with me walking over to the window to pull the curtains which were a harvest wheat color. It was in the spring or summer as evidenced by the fact that the leaves on the trees were full and green. The day was over cast. So much so that it was void of any sunlight and shadows.
As soon as I opened the curtains, I witnessed a military hummer going past. It moved from left to right on the street in front of me. There was a guy driving and another man standing in the back who was faced away from me. Their hummer and uniforms were camouflage and they, along with the solid colored helmets were green, but not army green. They were blue/teal colored. A mixture of army green and blue.
One strange thing to me is that both of the men, who had black straight hair under their helmets, were both looking down rather than around them. Upon seeing them in the dream I understood that they were Asian. There appeared to be no immediate threat to them. I didn't see any other person or so much as a vehicle on the street. The men were looking at flat computer screens. Maybe they were maps, coordinates, or something of that nature, but even the guy who was driving wasn't looking at the road. Perhaps the hummer was maneuvered by some other instrumentation. As far as I know, they were oblivious to my presence at the window.
It was then that I saw movement in the back of the hummer where the guard stood. It was a man with almost shoulder-length, white hair and a beard. He moved from behind the legs of the guard and knelt slightly to look around the man. Giving the outward appearance of shifting his weight. I saw that he was dressed in what appeared to be pajamas. They were navy blue in color. Although the guards did not notice me, the man rose his head and looked directly at me. His very sad eyes never left mine as the vehicle passed in front of my window. As soon we made eye contact, I recognized him as Uncle Sam, but not because he looked like the angry man pointing a finger in posters that read, "I Want You!" My knowledge of who he was came from His Spirit, because this man before me, whose hands were behind his back, bore the look of the bereaved.
That ended the dream.
These are the things that have come to me as I have prayed for discernment.
I asked the Father if Uncle Sam represented the government, the military, or the citizenry? He responded, "Your country." Which to me means its every aspect.
For those of you who regularly read this blog, you may have noticed the fact that in many of my dreams, the scene is dark and gloomy. Whether that be outside or indoors. This shows me that we are living in dark times and I think we are soon approaching midnight. I believe the changes that will occur will be soon and will hit many without any apparent warning. Like a thief who breaks in during the night.
"And know this, that if the goodman of the house had known what hour the thief would come, he would have watched, and not suffered his house to be broken through." Luke 12:39
Note that the colors of their hummer and uniform depicted that they were soldiers. But of what army? The fact that they were a mixture of green and blue made me think of the United States military mixing with the United Nations, whose color is blue. As I wrote this post, however, it occurred to me that teal is also a shade of jade. Jade Helm? Whether or not they are connected, I don't know and I have no indication from His Spirit aside from the fact that the similarity of the color in connection with Jade Helm, and the fact that it didn't come to mind until I was writing this post.
Teal vs Jade
I was staying in a room with people who were familiar to me and with whom I felt comfortable and the only thing that stood out to me about the room because the dream began with me walking to the window, was the fact that the shades were the color of harvest wheat. Wheat is harvested at the time of Pentecost. This is the appointed time when the Father sent His Torah at Mount Sinai and again when He sent His Spirit to His people so that they could live out the truth of Torah, empowered by His Holy Spirit. So this is the time during which we who have received His gift of salvation, should be growing up, "unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ." Ephesians 4:13 This is the time that we should be producing good fruit. Fruit of the Spirit, being doers Doers of the Word/BLB Lexicon Definition and not just hearers of the Word. All of this prepares us for the second harvest of wheat, at which time He will gather up the wheat and place it in His barn and the chaff will be burned with unquenchable fire.
"I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire.
Whose fan is in his hand, and he will thoroughly purge his floor and gather his wheat into the garner, but he will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.
Matthew 3:11-12
When praying about this dream in recent weeks, knowing that I was to put up a post about it, I was surprised when one day while in prayer, He told me to read the book of Hosea. Hosea, who has been referred to as, "the deathbed prophet", lived at the same time of the prophet Amos. Both preached to the people of Israel, where as Isaiah prophesied mainly to the House of Judah. Yet their prophecies sounded similar to the ears of their listeners; with good reason. As I read the book again, the thing that stood out to me is that the times before judgment came to Israel, sounded eerily similar to the times in which we are living. A bit of research showed me that indeed, as it was then, so is it now.
Hosea's Prophecy
Like America, Israel was affluent. Elohim's true prophets were shunned, while the respected teachers were false, giving lip service to the EL of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, but turned aside from His very Word and instead were teaching the traditions and pagan ways of the nations around them. The people, in turn, followed the ways of their teachers. Then, like now, the people didn't know the God they claimed to serve, they thought they were fine, and did not believe when hearing that if they didn't repent, great sorrow awaited them.
I implore you to read the book for yourself, keeping in mind that the ten northern tribes of Israel, including Ephraim and Manasseh, who were from the House of Joseph, remain scattered around the world, including America, to this very day as a result of the Assyrian attack in 723 BCE.
Tribe of Ephraim
Tribe of Manasseh
I found chapter four of Hosea to be especially poignant to the times in which we are living, even as it addresses the death of, "the beasts of the field, and with the fowls of heaven; yea, the fishes of the sea also shall be taken away." Hosea 4:3b We have seen this happening all across the globe since November 2010. The following list is staggering!
Mass Animal Deaths
Another chapter that stood out to me in relationship to this particular post, was chapter seven. Here we read that the people of Ephraim had so mixed themselves with other nations that they did not realize that strangers had devoured their strength. In verse 13, I can hear the broken heart of the Father when He cries through the prophet, "Woe to them, for they have strayed from me! Destruction to them, for they have rebelled against me! I would redeem them, but they speak lies against me."
Translate that to our day in which our popular teachers and respected pastors and priests speak lies against Him and tell me that it isn't the same!
Just now as I am writing, a thunderstorm let loose where I live. The sky grew dark, the wind began to blow and the rain is coming down in torrents. To me, it is a striking visual of the storm that is coming upon America.
In closing, it has come to my attention that I am not the only one who has received a sober message about Uncle Sam. I will include their videos below, along with one that I saw today. These three videos reveal to me that great trial and judgment are coming upon America.
The first is a video where Jonathan Cahn, author of The Harbinger and The Mystery of the Shemitah, is interviewed. He mentions several very interesting facts, among which is that Shemitah means 'release' in Hebrew, but it can also mean 'collapse'. Within two weeks of this Shemitah year's start in September of 2014, a shift happened. The American Age, which began in 1871, when America was given the status of being the strongest economic power on earth, collapsed in that regard, and China surpassed America as the world's strongest economic power. America is heavily in debt to China and in recent weeks, we have learned of the Chinese hacking into White House computers gaining information about political leaders and American citizens, among which is income tax information about individuals.
In the following article, "US Representative Adam Schiff, the ranking Democrat on the House select intelligence committee, said, 'The last few months have seen a series of massive data breaches that have affected millions of Americans.' "
OPM hack: China blamed for massive breach ...
The following article is about the hackers who stole tax information on American citizens.
IRS Thieves
America was once dedicated to YHVH. She has turned her back on Him and His Righteous Truth found in His Eternal Word. Trading His Truth for lies, we have become fools. Romans 1
Oh, America! Strangers are devouring our strength and we know it not.
The sky remains dark but for now, the storm has passed by. For the time being all that remains over our home is a gentle rain. It reminds me that one day, as the book of Hosea conveyed, the storm will end.
"1 Then the Lord said to me, 'Go again, love a woman who is loved by her husband, yet an adulteress, even as the Lord loves the sons of Israel, though they turn to other gods and love raisin cakes.' 2 So I bought her for myself for fifteen shekels of silver and a homer and a half of barley. 3 Then I said to her, 'You shall stay with me for many days. You shall not play the harlot, nor shall you have a man; so I will also be toward you.' 4 For the sons of Israel will remain for many days without a king or prince, without sacrifice or sacred pillar and without ephod or household idols. 5 Afterward the sons of Israel will return and seek the Lord their God and David their king; and they will come trembling to the Lord and His goodness in the last days." Hosea 3:1-5
The Father allowed Israel to suffer for her harlotry. He allowed her nation to be destroyed. But He never stopped loving her and He waited for her heart to change. It is ...and it will .....in these last days.
"14 'Therefore, behold, I will allure her, bring her into the wilderness and speak kindly to her. 15 Then I will give her her vineyards from there, and the valley of Achor as a door of hope and she will sing there as in the days of her youth, as in the day when she came up from the land of Egypt. 16 It will come about in that day,' declares the Lord, 'That you will call me Ishi and will no longer call me Baali. 17 'For I will remove the names of the Baals from her mouth, so that they will be mentioned by their names no more. 18 In that day I will also make a covenant for them with the beasts of the field, the birds of the sky and the creeping things of the ground and I will abolish the bow, the sword and war from the land, and make them lie down in safety. 19 I will betroth you to me forever; yes, I will betroth you to me in righteousness and in justice, and in lovingkindness and in compassion, 20 And I will betroth you to me in faithfulness. Then you will know the Lord. 21 It will come about in that day that I will respond,' declares the Lord. 'I will respond to the heavens, and they will respond to the earth, 22 And the earth will respond to the grain, to the new wine and to the oil, and they will respond to Jezreel. 23 I will sow her for myself in the land I will also have compassion on her who had not obtained compassion, and I will say to those who were not my people, 'You are My people!' and they will say, 'You are my God!' "
Hosea 2:14-23
Note what Jonathan Cahn says about the army of the Assyrian's.
Upon reading this post, a sister in Messiah sent me this article. I knew that I was to include it.

It Comes
I walked into the dining room this morning just as the sun was making its appearance over the horizon. Witnessing its orange glow shining through the trees was a comforting reminder to me that, "While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease."
Genesis 8:22
My morning began about an hour before I made my trek into the kitchen. I laid in bed and prayed for the day ahead, about what lies ahead, and about this post. In actuality, this post began back on the morning of 4/25/2014 when I woke up from a dream that I have carried with me to some extent, ever since.
It was a different morning from this, a morning encapsulated within a dream in which I was standing in a brand new, retro-styled kitchen. The room was filled with sunlight, making its appearance even more sterile. The walls and cupboards were white, as was the scalloped trim, and the curtains that were trimmed with flounces and hung in the window above the sink. The counter tops were those reminiscent of the time period.
Alone in the room, I stood to the right side of the kitchen where a table or bankett would ordinarily be positioned. As I was looking around, a tall, thin man with black hair and dressed in a black suit; carrying black sunglasses in his hand, entered the room through a doorway at the far left of the kitchen. He stopped walking when he was about six feet from me and looked at something or someone behind and to the left of me. Normally viewing such a behavior would have caused me to turn and look behind me, especially because I thought I was alone, but I had no such impulse. It never even occurred to me to do so. It was then that I heard a very still and serious voice, say, "You have to do it, Delta." The man nodded once. His face was stoic and determined. He walked to the door, put on his sunglasses with his right hand and opened the kitchen door with his left. Typically exterior doors open in, this one opened to the outside and to the left. I could see the sunlight through the large tree in the yard. The lawn and the leaves of the tree were lovely and green, but the leaves on the branches were not yet mature, indicating to me that it was springtime.
That ended the dream.
My prayers for interpretation began immediately. Knowing that Delta had greater significance than the name of an American airline and different tributaries around the world, I soon learned that it is the fourth letter of the Greek alphabet. In ancient Greek, it was also the fourth number. Greek Numbers and Numerals (Ancient and Modern) This reaffirmed my thinking that perhaps this man was depicting the fourth rider in Revelation 6 whose name is Death. The tall, thin man in the kitchen certainly reminded me of one depicting death, such as a funeral director. Remember too that his face looked stoic and determined. When looking up the definition of stoic to make sure that it fit with what I was thinking, I found something that was very interesting. I was correct in that my thinking matched with the first definition, but check out the second definition of the word:
www.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/english/stoicism#stoicism_5
The brand new kitchen was another obvious key to the interpretation so within a day of having the dream, I began to research the kitchen style that I saw and was taken aback when I learned that that style of kitchen came post war in the year 1948.
http://retrorenovation.com/2007/1123/1948-was-a-very-good-year-awesome-retro-kitchens-and-cary-grants-dream-house-too/
After the war, many Americans were moving out of the cities and into suburbs. Acres in the country were purchased in order for new housing developments to be constructed. However, something of much greater significance was also taking place during this time in history. The following article begins, "In May 1948, Israel became an independent state after Israel was recognized by the United Nations as a country in its own within the Middle East."
www.historylearningsite.co.uk/israel_and_the_1948_war.htm
The third element of the dream that stood out so boldly was the fact that it was the spring of the year when the leaves were not yet full on the tree. This reminded me of the parable of the fig tree that we see in three of the gospels: Matthew 24:32-34, Mark 13:28-30, and Luke 21:28-32. Within these parallel passages we read,
"Now learn a parable of the fig tree; when the branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh: so likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors. Verily I say unto you that this generation will not pass away until all these things have been fulfilled."
Matthew 24:32-34
Which generation? The generation that saw the fig tree (Israel) become a nation once again.
In the Bible, there are several times that the span of forty years is mentioned in connection with a generation. Here are a couple of examples:
"And the Lord's anger was kindled against Israel, and He made them wander in the wilderness forty years, until all the generation that had done evil in the sight of the Lord, was consumed."
Numbers 32:13
"Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of temptation in the wilderness: When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my works for forty years, wherefore I was grieved with that generation."
Hebrews 3:8-10
However there are times when Scripture defines a generation as being from the age of twenty to sixty or even above. For example, we find this in the book of Numbers 32:11 which states,
"Surely none of the men that came up out of Egypt, from twenty years old and upward, shall see the land which I swear unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob; because they have not wholly followed me."
And in Psalm 90:10 we read:
"The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength labor and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away."
So 70-80 years, in this case, would also be considered a generation.
The fourth element of the dream that was so apparent to me was that everything was to the left of me. The kitchen itself, the man who entered through a doorway to the left, then stood to my left. Then there was the voice behind me. Also the door with the man's left hand on the door knob which he opened out and to the left. The tree was to the left of the door, as was the sun shining through the tree.
"When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then he shall sit upon the throne of his glory: and before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats: and he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left."
Matthew 25:31-33

Directly following the description of the fourth rider in Revelation 6:8b, we read,
"And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with the sword, (interpreted war) and with hunger, (famine) and with death, (pestilence) and with the beasts of the earth."
So if it is intended for us in this verse to divide the four horses and their riders into their given duties, then that leaves the fourth horseman with the beasts of the earth. I checked Blue Letter Bible to see what "beasts" referred to and I found that the word is: Therion G2342 and the KJV describes it in both ways, as wild beasts or a "bestial man". Thayer's Greek Lexicon also includes the "Antichrist - Both his person and his kingdom and his power." Bear that in mind as you continue to read.

In summation: The dream took place in the spring in 1948 when the trees were putting forth their leaves telling me that the fulfillment of Messiah's prophecy would happen in our generation. The fourth rider had a Greek name and would be sent forth into the earth with the left-hand judgment of YHVH to execute His purposes in order to establish His Son's reign upon the earth. Beasts and the Antichrist will bring death.
The sun has risen higher in the sky, its warmth is filling the room where I am sitting as I draw this post to a close. I smile at the sight of the grazing sheep in our pasture and the song of birds in the air because they remind me that we are the sheep of His pasture and He is our Good Shepherd. Remember that our Messiah loves His sheep and it was He who told us that our Father in heaven sees each sparrow that falls to the ground. Do not fear. You are worth more than many sparrows.
Genesis 8:22
My morning began about an hour before I made my trek into the kitchen. I laid in bed and prayed for the day ahead, about what lies ahead, and about this post. In actuality, this post began back on the morning of 4/25/2014 when I woke up from a dream that I have carried with me to some extent, ever since.
It was a different morning from this, a morning encapsulated within a dream in which I was standing in a brand new, retro-styled kitchen. The room was filled with sunlight, making its appearance even more sterile. The walls and cupboards were white, as was the scalloped trim, and the curtains that were trimmed with flounces and hung in the window above the sink. The counter tops were those reminiscent of the time period.
Alone in the room, I stood to the right side of the kitchen where a table or bankett would ordinarily be positioned. As I was looking around, a tall, thin man with black hair and dressed in a black suit; carrying black sunglasses in his hand, entered the room through a doorway at the far left of the kitchen. He stopped walking when he was about six feet from me and looked at something or someone behind and to the left of me. Normally viewing such a behavior would have caused me to turn and look behind me, especially because I thought I was alone, but I had no such impulse. It never even occurred to me to do so. It was then that I heard a very still and serious voice, say, "You have to do it, Delta." The man nodded once. His face was stoic and determined. He walked to the door, put on his sunglasses with his right hand and opened the kitchen door with his left. Typically exterior doors open in, this one opened to the outside and to the left. I could see the sunlight through the large tree in the yard. The lawn and the leaves of the tree were lovely and green, but the leaves on the branches were not yet mature, indicating to me that it was springtime.
That ended the dream.
My prayers for interpretation began immediately. Knowing that Delta had greater significance than the name of an American airline and different tributaries around the world, I soon learned that it is the fourth letter of the Greek alphabet. In ancient Greek, it was also the fourth number. Greek Numbers and Numerals (Ancient and Modern) This reaffirmed my thinking that perhaps this man was depicting the fourth rider in Revelation 6 whose name is Death. The tall, thin man in the kitchen certainly reminded me of one depicting death, such as a funeral director. Remember too that his face looked stoic and determined. When looking up the definition of stoic to make sure that it fit with what I was thinking, I found something that was very interesting. I was correct in that my thinking matched with the first definition, but check out the second definition of the word:

The brand new kitchen was another obvious key to the interpretation so within a day of having the dream, I began to research the kitchen style that I saw and was taken aback when I learned that that style of kitchen came post war in the year 1948.

After the war, many Americans were moving out of the cities and into suburbs. Acres in the country were purchased in order for new housing developments to be constructed. However, something of much greater significance was also taking place during this time in history. The following article begins, "In May 1948, Israel became an independent state after Israel was recognized by the United Nations as a country in its own within the Middle East."

The third element of the dream that stood out so boldly was the fact that it was the spring of the year when the leaves were not yet full on the tree. This reminded me of the parable of the fig tree that we see in three of the gospels: Matthew 24:32-34, Mark 13:28-30, and Luke 21:28-32. Within these parallel passages we read,
"Now learn a parable of the fig tree; when the branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh: so likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors. Verily I say unto you that this generation will not pass away until all these things have been fulfilled."
Matthew 24:32-34
Which generation? The generation that saw the fig tree (Israel) become a nation once again.
In the Bible, there are several times that the span of forty years is mentioned in connection with a generation. Here are a couple of examples:
"And the Lord's anger was kindled against Israel, and He made them wander in the wilderness forty years, until all the generation that had done evil in the sight of the Lord, was consumed."
Numbers 32:13
"Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of temptation in the wilderness: When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my works for forty years, wherefore I was grieved with that generation."
Hebrews 3:8-10
However there are times when Scripture defines a generation as being from the age of twenty to sixty or even above. For example, we find this in the book of Numbers 32:11 which states,
"Surely none of the men that came up out of Egypt, from twenty years old and upward, shall see the land which I swear unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob; because they have not wholly followed me."
And in Psalm 90:10 we read:
"The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength labor and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away."
So 70-80 years, in this case, would also be considered a generation.
The fourth element of the dream that was so apparent to me was that everything was to the left of me. The kitchen itself, the man who entered through a doorway to the left, then stood to my left. Then there was the voice behind me. Also the door with the man's left hand on the door knob which he opened out and to the left. The tree was to the left of the door, as was the sun shining through the tree.
"When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then he shall sit upon the throne of his glory: and before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats: and he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left."
