ALL:

While reading the story of Joseph this morning, he is a "type" of
Jesus.  Joseph was "LIFTED UP" by Pharaoh and was given the
highest position in the kingdom after interpreting his dream.  Below
is a URL that will describe this account from Genesis 41:1--32: 

http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Genesis%2041:17-32&version=31

What is interesting to me is the statement by Joseph concerning
the "REASON" that Pharaoh was given "TWO" different dreams
which meant the SAME THING! 

...Genesis 41
...32 The REASON the dream was given to Pharaoh IN TWO
...FORMS is that THE MATTER HAS BEEN FIRMLY DECIDED
...BY GOD, AND GOD WILL DO IT SOON. 

First of all, I will say most "ANYONE" who reads prophecy posts,
in my opinion, should be congratulated for "AT LEAST" doing so. 
It means that you are "AT LEAST" interested.  MOST PEOPLE
ARE NOT!!!  What I believe God "HAS ALREADY SAID" to the
US is that His intentions for her have been FIRMLY DECIDED!!! 

We can disagree about the "US'" role in the Bible but I "KNOW"
that God called this VERY uneducated (in Biblical knowledge)
"fool" to "some" VERY SMALL part in warning America.  I VERY
MUCH believe that America is woven into the warnings of Rev. 18
and Jeremiah 50 and 51 and MANY other scriptures (most likely)
but having written that, it is up to you to get alone with God and
decide for yourself whether the warnings are real or NOT.   

I have written NUMEROUS times about how I believe that the role
of the US with regard to Israel's covenant land is "hidden" in the
Parable of the Fig Tree which gives "4" years to include the "3"
years PLUS "1" MORE.  If I am correct then these years passed
with the passing of 2005:

...2002...2003...2004...2005

This would mean God has been MORE THAN PATIENT with the
US in giving us a couple of months AFTER "911" to digest exactly
"who / Whom" is the "TRUE" enemy of Israel and the US (Islam)
and the "TRUE" Friend to the US (the God of Israel) in regards to
our future for "WITHOUT ANY DOUBT", God let ALL know by
using the "911 EMERGENCY NUMBER".  I believe that "911" was
a VERY REAL WARNING that the 4 years of the "Parable of the
Fig Tree" were about to begin.  It has SHOCKED me that so very
few ministers have picked up and taken ANY initiative regarding
this, to me, HUGE OPPORTUNITY FOR WITNESS!!! 

God has been WAY, WAY too kind to us as a country. 

Here is the way I see the last 2 years of the Fig Tree Parable and
2004 / 2005 described before in "The 'SERIOUS' 'M'essage of 4's":

...the Lord comes down and says:

...Luke 13
...6 Then he told this parable: "A man had a fig tree,
...planted in his vineyard, and he went to look for fruit
...on it, but did not find any. 7 So he said to the man
...who took care of the vineyard, 'FOR THREE YEARS
...NOW I'VE BEEN COMING TO LOOK FOR FRUIT ON
...THIS FIG TREE AND HAVEN'T FOUND ANY.  CUT IT
...DOWN!  Why should it use up the soil?'
...8" 'Sir,' the man replied, 'leave it alone for ONE MORE
...YEAR, and I'll dig around it and fertilize it.

...And in the 3rd year from "911", the state of "F"lorda (the
...only "F" state) received "4" major hurricanes:

...2004:
...Charley $7.5 billion
...Frances $4.6 billion
...Ivan $7.1 billion
...Jeanne $3.7 billion

...And, by the end of the 4th year, ANOTHER "4":

...2005:
...Dennis $1 billion to $5 billion
...Katrina $40 billion to $60 billion
...Rita $2.5 billion to $7 billion
...Wilma $4 to $10 billion

The "3rd" hurricane on the list above is Ivan, the terrible which
just "happened" to come up when I tried to google up photos of
hurricane this morning.  This hurricane seems to be "TELLING"
those connected with the "RAPTURE" that "SOMETHING'S UP"! 
"WHY?"  Ivan, the terrible entered the US on Rosh Hashanah /
the Feast of "TRUMPETS", 2004, which began at sundown on
September 15th.  It then circled around and reentered THE
SECOND TIME (as a tropical storm) as the Jews were preparing
for their MOST HOLY DAY, Yom Kippur, 2004, which began at
sundown on September 24th.  To me, this is the same as the
"DOUBLE DREAM" of Pharaoh. 

...Genesis 41
...32 The REASON the dream was given to Pharaoh IN TWO
...FORMS is that THE MATTER HAS BEEN FIRMLY DECIDED
...BY GOD, AND GOD WILL DO IT SOON.

Looped track of Hurricane Ivan (enters US twice):

Ivan was a "DOUBLE WITNESS", but perhaps we should ALSO
say that, "2004 and 2005" are also a "DOUBLE WITNESS" to
what is about to occur.  We'll see!!!

GOD BLESS!!!

...Psalm 18
...9 He parted the heavens and came down;
...dark clouds were under his feet.
...10 He mounted the cherubim and flew;
...he soared on the wings of the wind.
...11 He made darkness his covering, his canopy around him-
...the dark rain clouds of the sky.
...12 Out of the brightness of his presence clouds advanced,
...with hailstones and bolts of lightning.
...13 The LORD thundered from heaven;
...the voice of the Most High resounded.
...14 He shot his arrows and scattered the enemies ,
...great bolts of lightning and routed them.
...15 The valleys of the sea were exposed
...and the foundations of the earth laid bare
...at your rebuke, O LORD,
...at the blast of breath from your nostrils.
