RE:Frank Molver (31 Aug 2013) : "re refuge city, major economic down turn in a year"
Your post reminded me of a couple of experiences.
1. In the mid-1990s I attended a meeting in central Washington state, where Dumitru Duduman spoke. Half of those in attendance were immigrants from Russia and the other half were local natural born Americans. I prophesied during that meeting that the Americans had supported the Russians; financially, sending Bibles and assisting in their immigration to the United States. I continued that the Russians will one day pay the Americans back by saving, feeding and protecting Americans in their escape during the upcoming persecution. Others confirmed my word.
This meeting was in Moses Lake, Washington.
2. When I was about seven or eight years old (mid-1950s), I had two reoccurring dreams that were unlike any other dreams I had ever had. I did not become a Christian until 1970, and at the time of the dreams I had absolutely no Bible or church teaching/background. The substance of the first dream is of little interest, except that within months I experienced that dream in real life. This impressed me at this young age, that someday I will also experience the second dream. Shortly after becoming a Christian, that second dream returned, and ever since I've been on the lookout for that same location.
Today I would characterize that dream as depicting:
Mat 24:27 For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
And:
Rev 6:15 And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains;
Rev 6:16 And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb:
Rev 6:17 For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?
During the 1950s when I had the dream as a child, I was living in northern Indiana. In the dream I was walking in the riverbed to an area that once was a mountainous forest. I knew that I was very familiar with this area and marveled at the degree of destruction. But as a young boy from Indiana, I never experienced this type of geography. I knew in my dream that I was walking in the dried riverbed, primarily for concealment. I knew that there was a road that parallels this riverbed, that would be easier to walk on. Toward the end of the riverbed, and just before entering a small community, I saw the only remnant that would indicate that a forest was once in that area. There was a jagged, charred, stump of a tree that was probably 15 to 20 feet in diameter. In my dream I marveled, because I had been very familiar with that tree. I then entered the small community and this is where the verses in Matthew and Revelation played out.
In all my travels I have looked for that tree, and have never found it. During my studies around 2006 and with the revelation of the Holy Spirit, I believe that charred tree stump represents the United States of America, and her destruction (with a jagged, charred stump "remnant."). The small community I entered in my dream, is a place that I lived between 1987 to 1992. I did not recognize it as part of my dream while I lived there. I believe that I was walking in the Sanpool Riverbed, through the Colvile National Forest, and the small community that I ended my journey was Republic Washington. Republic Washington is due North of Moses Lake, and about 35 miles south of the Canadian border. North of Moses Lake is wheatfields and over 100 years of Russian immigrants (Odessa Washington). You might have to walk on water or swim across Lake Roosevelt (avoid the grand Coulee dam). And then you will find yourself in the Colvile national Forest, and a new nation (Indian Reservation).
In my dream, after seeing the signs that I describe as Matthew 24, and Revelation 6; I felt very safe and knew that I had no more need to hide, or continue my journey. I turned around and headed home. Wherever that was.
Now I doubt that I will actually experience that childhood dream in that location. It would take multiple miracles to accomplish that. 2 1/2 years ago the Lord moved me out of Washington state, and I now live about 900 miles away. I also have a heart condition and would never tolerate walking the length of that river (50 to 60 miles). But people were talking about Colvile Washington as a safe area and I thought I would just pass on a couple of my "experiences."
Personally I think that Spokane and the city of Colvile to its north, may be subjected to significant military force from an out-of-control government. There are too many that live in that area already that are vocally anti-government. Follow Moses example and stay in the wilderness. You may need an "ark of the covenant and a few Levites" to make it through Lake Roosevelt. But Colville would be a great place to live.
