Dear David,
I read and re read your post.  Thank you for taking the time to write it out!  God bless you Brother!
A Spiritual Famine of the Word, yes I believe we have been in that famine in the church every since I was saved 15 years ago!
People don't read the word or study the word or want to by that matter.  Very sad situation for most chritians and believers of today.
They go to church and read a devotional maybe once a day  for 15 min and off they go!
 
Thank God for those who have His Spirit that Do Read and Study His Word Daily for these will be able to contribute to the deeper things that the Word is Prophetically Speaking to this Last Days Laodician Church Age!
 
Iron Sharpens Irons and it's becoming clear to me that there is not much Iron in Church today!  Yes I agree with you David we will see more of this, as the Evil triumphs in the days of darkness that is upon us now.
 
My Black Cloud dream was studied out and lead to a Financial Economic Failure that is set up to bring in Slavery, Bondage and Laborers for the new system.
 
The Scales are Balances of Weights for money.
 
The spiritual aspect was refreshing David H!  Thank you for sharing!!!
God bless you Brother!
