Hello Doves. I want to share an email that I received from a friend. We had been discussing the Ring of Fire before Jan's dream was posted, so this was of interest to me. Here is the email:Also, last night I was looking up some info on Jan's dream re: "Avalon burning" ... I prepared to send it to you, but backed out at the last minute... I suppose because I just didn't want to be too presumptuous of the meaning-- but clearly your reply today is evidence that I should have sent it to you.
Basically, if you go to wikipedia and look up avalon, there is an avalon peninsula /province in Newfoundland, Canada. This peninsula is known for it's "fishing" industry, and is surrounded by 4 areas with these names: "Trinity" Bay, St. "Mary's" Bay, "Conception" Bay, and "Placentia" Bay. If you look up the Great Seal of Newfoundland, you see that the seal shows a fisherman kneeling down to present the "harvest of the sea" to the god Mercury, the god of commerce and merchandise. ooooh. How about that for a Babylon connection? Also, interestingly enough, it was the first British colony to land in the Americas and was named Avalon after the province in Britian because it was considered the "firstfruits of Christianity" (the first of many to come obviously), and the patron saint of Newfoundland (New found land) is John the Baptist... (Elias to those who can receive it).
What does this mean....
Obviously there are a few key things...
As Jan stated, Avalon means apples, but it also is known to represent being "blessed" (the blessed isles), even as the "apple of His eye" is blessed.
The US has certainly been under God's hand of protection since it's "inception" (conception) in that we have been lucky not to have had to fight wars or threats on our own soil... Terrorism on our own soil is a fairly recent phenomenon, and it seems the Twin Towers were simply a warning of what was to come.
What is the judgment for? I think perhaps the Great Seal may give us a clue.... We have bowed down tot he god of merchandise and commerce... placing the harvest of the sea (nations) to this "god" rather than to whom it rightfully belongs. We have done this by putting wealth and the "American way" ... the "love of money", ahead of the love of GOD. The firstfruits santify the entire harvest...If we don't present the firstfruits to God (put God first as a nation) then what does that say for the rest of the harvest? Obviously that is not a good thing.
John the Baptist, "Elias" to those who would receive him, is the patron saint of New-found-land. If Newfoundland represents or is a type of America, does it not seem appropriate that there is a remnant, even as their were 7000 others besides Elias, who proclaims the Truth? Who knows and loves God first?
The area of the Avalon peninsula, the area known for it's great fishing industry that is surrounded by Trinity, Mary, Conception, Placentia.... What does this speak of except a BIRTH? Perhaps the birth of the Manchild?
Remember the words I heard recently? "Ring of Fire?" Well I just discovered that "the burning, stinging sensation that occurs during labor and birth, as the baby's head is crowning, is often called ring of fire."
Could it be that as Avalon is burning and on fire, that THIS will be the "crowning" moment of BIRTH of the Manchild... the transformation of mortal to immortality?Later I received this from the same friend:I had heard the term "Ring of Fire" associated with the Pacific Ring where earthquakes occur with great frequency, and if there is going to be a big one, that is exactly where I would expect it..
Then I got this in the mail todayDate: 05/10/2007 06:44:30 AM
Hi, He heard "earthquake," twice last night and felt one to the west and one the east. He heard the words "weir across subduction zone" this morning. We had to look up the word weir and subduction zone, because we didn't know what they were.
Weir-A weir is a small overflow-type dam commonly used to raise the level of a river or stream. Weirs have traditionally been used to create mill ponds in such places. Water flows over the top of a weir, although some weirs have sluice gates which release water at a level below the top of the weir. The crest of an overflow spillway on a large dam is often called a weirSubduction Zone-In geology, a subduction zone is an area on Earth where two tectonic plates meet and move towards one another, with one sliding underneath the other and moving down into the mantle, at rates typically measured in centimeters per year. An oceanic plate ordinarily slides underneath a continental plate; this often creates an orogenic zone with many Subduction zones are associated with the deepest earthquakes on the planet. Earthquakes are generally restricted to the shallow, brittle parts of the crust, generally at depths of less than 20 km. However, in subduction zones, earthquakes occur at depths as great as 700 km. These earthquakes define inclined zones of seismicity known as Wadati-Benioff zones (after the scientists who discovered them), which outline the descending lithosphere. Seismic tomography has helped outline subducted lithosphere in regions where there are no earthquakes.
Subduction causes oceanic trenches, such as the Mariana trench. Trenches occur where one plate begins its descent beneath another. Volcanoes that occur above subduction zones, such as Mount St. Helens and Mount Fuji, often occur in arcuate chains, hence the term volcanic arc or Love Melody
Yellowstone has been having small earthquakes. I heard about them on the news earlier this week.

Also, this was in the same newsletter:
4-27-07 I awoke at 3:00 AM and heard the words: "super volcano, Yellowstone." I stayed awake for 1/2 hour, but never heard anything else.
5-3-07 I received this word at watchmen prayer time at church that I believe is from the Lord.
Super volcano, Yellowstone. They will say what is going on? I tell you I am sending forth wake up calls to shake this nation. If they are alarmed by My wake up calls, then they will be terrified by what is coming after. My people, get right with Me, confess your sins, sanctify yourselves. You must make ready, time is short to get into My will, the center of My will. Narrow is the way to life.

Anyway-- it seems very likely that the revealing and 'BIRTH' of the manchild will happen simultaneous to these expected events. A "ring of fire" is associated with the birth or "crowning" of a baby, and the ring of fire is associated with great earthquakes and fires/volcanic activity...(birthpangs come to mind). You know, this reminds me of something...He heard "earthquake," twice last night and felt one to the WEST and one the EAST.
Isn't what you just sent me saying the same thing? The person knew that 2 big earthquakes happened in Sumatra (west) and said to counterbalance the subduction shift, there would have to be one on the other side... the EAST.... California is nearly opposite Sumatra (Indonesia) on the Ring of FIre map in wikipedia.
The Pacific Ring of Fire is the subduction zone, and wouldn't you expect that if the eastern plate went DOWNward to counterbalance the shift on the western plate in Sumatra,...wouldn't you just expect an "overflow" or "spill over" from the Pacific Ocean? In other words, what may happen is that the shift on the west is downward allowing the Pacific Ocean to come rushing inland.... Major tsunamis, and obviously a shifting of the coastline...
Also I got this confirmation about my dream of being released from prison:SMALL STRAWS IN A SOFT WIND by Marsha Burns -- May 14, 2007: Separate yourself from the disappointments and failures of the past and cleanse yourself from all defilement of flesh and spirit, for certainly I am removing your shackles so that you can be free. Forgive and release yourself and others and press through into the realm of unrestrained liberty in the Spirit, says the Lord. Luke 4:18 "The Spirit of the LORD is upon Me, because He has anointed Me to preach the gospel to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to set at liberty those who are oppressed."
I believe this to be a confirmation of your "prison release" dream~~ ;-) Whether it means what we hope for, or whether it means you'll be released from the financial and emotional burdens you're currently under, one thing is for sure...it is clearly a good sign!
