More possible explanation to my dream...

After writing down and sending off the dream I had around 1:00 a.m.
today, (4/10), I went back to sleep around 2:00 but after hearing an
audible "knock, knock" woke up about 5:00 a.m.  I am "possibly"
supposed to get up and write a further explanation...

It doesn't REALLY make me happy to tell you that I DO NOT BELIEVE
THAT WE (the U.S.) WILL EVER control or quell the violence over in Iraq
or anywhere else in the Middle East for that matter.  We ARE NOT
DEALING with people who want to be controlled.  God has said that THE
VERY NATURE OF THESE PEOPLE IS TOTALLY DIFFERENT FROM
THAT!!!  WE ALL HAVE SIN NATURES THAT NEED TO BE CHANGED
FROM THE INSIDE!!!  It seems that the descendents of Ishmael have a
"special" built-in rebellious nature whereby THEY DON'T AND WON'T
UNDERSTAND even though we TRY to be nice to them!!!  (I am NOT being
racist...this is what God said!!!)

   Genesis 16
   11 The angel of the LORD also said to her:

   "You are now with child
   and you will have a son.
   You shall name him Ishmael,
   for the LORD has heard of your misery.
   12 He will be a wild donkey of a man;
   his hand will be against everyone
   and everyone's hand against him,
   and he will live in hostility
   toward all his brothers."

When I say they won't be controlled, I also mean that I believe that
I have been shown through another dream that this violence will increase
now throughout the world....which will lead us to the end...BUT A GOOD
END TO THOSE WHO FIND THEIR TRUST IN JESUS!!!  The dream that
I had back in April, 2003 (almost an exact year ago) showed the clouds
coming up the mountain towards me.  I believe that we can see them
coming.

The following is from "Spring, 2003 dream / LEAP SUNDAY...connected???"

   Ever since I had a dream in the Spring of 2003 after asking God
   a "question" just before I went to sleep one night in Denver, CO,
   I have "sort of" been watching for something to "fit" the scenario of
   the "500" which was written on the check representing "THE
   JACKPOT" (which I believe "could" mean "THE RAPTURE")!!!

   Scroll down to SPRING, 2003 DREAM:
   http://www.fivedoves.com/letters/oct2003/calvinm1023-1.htm

   Non-inclusive counting does NOT count the first leap year (4 A.D.)
   of the "A.D." era as "ONE".  By non-inclusive counting, you START
   at the 4 A.D. and then count 8 A.D. as "ONE"!!!  When we do that
   something VERY INTERESTING, to me (and to my Spring, 2003
   dream), occurs:  SUNDAY, FEB. 29TH IS THE "500th" LEAP YEAR
   OF THE A.D. ERA (counting non-inclusively) and 2000 years from
   4 A.D.!!!

The above, of course, makes 2004 the 500th!!!  Many others
are saying also that 2004 IS SPECIAL!!!

P.S.

Almost as a physical sign to this, 7 miles north of us is
a larger town and where our cook lives.  As I finished this
further "explanation", I could see dark clouds and hear the
thunder from a huge storm to our north.  When the cook
arrived, she said there was water in the streets and they had
had a tremendous storm of rain and lightning.  When she came
to our house to work, she had to cross the Sunflower River.
When she crossed the river, she was VERY surprised......
everything was dry!!!
