Dear Doves,                                                                                            9/18/04
 
  As I was praying and meditating on the swiftness of the recent judgments in Florida and the almost daily increase in violence against innocents and the increase in lawlessness, the Lord gave me a vision of MANY judgments that will occur.  I saw many things that would be happening at the same time, with one judgment taking precedence, then another and then another, overlapping and in concert with one another.  It may not be the same type of judgment, but different types occurring all over the world, and not ceasing from now until His return.  This has already started and will increase in frequency and severity as we approach the Ezek 38-39 war, and then move into the end times.  I have seen out troops in a trap in Iraq (more than once) and I think we will be hurt, very badly, in this war.
 
  The world is spinning out of control and soon the USA will face much more severe judgments of earthquakes, economic hazards and collapse, disease, terrorism, with the seas and the waves roaring.   I saw land upheavals in the mid-west and along the northern borders of Indiana, Ohio and part of Penn., and in the Mississippi River valley.  I saw many smoking cities across the USA with fires burning in many states. This could have been from volcanoes or other sinister sources.  I have seen in the recent past much flooding in the USA and the world.  It appears that this is starting to happen.
 
  The verse He gave me was: 

(Isa 42:14 KJV)I have long time holden my peace; I have been still, and refrained myself: now will I cry like a travailing woman; I will destroy and devour at once.

 

 

By the same token, (Psa 46:10 KJV)  Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth.
 

 

We are to be still and rest in Him.  Take God at His Word.   We are His sheep and under His care, but I think we will see many things happen before we are taken up.   We need to be ready to minister to the unsaved.
 

 

The strong will do exploits:
 

 

(Dan 11:32 KJV)  And such as do wickedly against the covenant shall he corrupt by flatteries: but the people that do know their God shall be strong, and do exploits.

(Dan 11:33 KJV)  And they that understand among the people shall instruct many: yet they shall fall by the sword, and by flame, by captivity, and by spoil, many days.

(Dan 11:34 KJV)  Now when they shall fall, they shall be holpen with a little help: but many shall cleave to them with flatteries.

(Dan 11:35 KJV)  And some of them of understanding shall fall, to try them, and to purge, and to make them white, even to the time of the end: because it is yet for a time appointed.

(Dan 11:36 KJV)  And the king shall do according to his will; and he shall exalt himself, and magnify himself above every god, and shall speak marvellous things against the God of gods, and shall prosper till the indignation be accomplished: for that that is determined shall be done.

(Dan 11:37 KJV)  Neither shall he regard the God of his fathers, nor the desire of women, nor regard any god: for he shall magnify himself above all.

(Dan 11:38 KJV)  But in his estate shall he honour the God of forces: and a god whom his fathers knew not shall he honour with gold, and silver, and with precious stones, and pleasant things.

(Dan 11:39 KJV)  Thus shall he do in the most strong holds with a strange god, whom he shall acknowledge and increase with glory: and he shall cause them to rule over many, and shall divide the land for gain.

(Dan 11:40 KJV)  And at the time of the end shall the king of the south push at him: and the king of the north shall come against him like a whirlwind, with chariots, and with horsemen, and with many ships; and he shall enter into the countries, and shall overflow and pass over.
 

 

....they that understand>>>  You and me??
 

 

God Bless,
