I awoke this (Sunday) morning
[December 23, 2007] after having had troubling dreams. I was awake, but with my
eyes still closed. I saw, as if from a high vantage point, a bridge spanning
what appears to be a river. My point of view is from the near side of the river.
Along the bridge are vehicles, which seem to be colliding and veering off in
different directions, as if the bridge had been shaken. Where the bridge arches
slightly, the road seems to have buckled, broken and with one section lower than
the other. Towards my end of the bridge, a semi truck had ended up crosswise,
with its cab overhanging the right side of the bridge. At the far end, in the
distance along the water, I saw what appeared to be a large city. Deep, thick
grey smoke was billowing out from it in different places. There was also some
sort of commotion, accidents or smoke along the parkway running along the river
on the near side of the bridge.
The tone of the entire scene was
of a pearlized grey, almost oily color. I am not sure, but I had the sense that
this was the Brooklyn Bridge, and I was viewing the Queens side of it from the
Manhattan side. As I watched, horrified and with increasing anxiety, I
distinctly heard music, primarily in my right ear: low, slow, measured, somber -
like a funeral march. As I looked at my bedside clock, it read 5:24 or 5:25 (I
have an old-fashion-face clock, not the digital type).
Our
brief comments
{Fellow believer, there are threads in
this vision that have been left unexplored or partially explored. We pray that
you will follow up on these threads. If the Lord shares something with you
regarding this vision, please let us know. Thank you.}
This
vision
has several elements to consider:
 |
The date of the vision,
December 23, 2007 has
spiritual significance.
It is exactly 2 years after December 23, 2005. As we have studied
before,
that was the day when the Lord sealed the
cancellation of His visitation of America. It is the date when America's
4-year revival delay was sealed. This revival was intended by God to start
in New York and
spread from there throughout America and the world. Due to America's
half-heartedness, however, New York (and America) shall remain a "stagnant
marshland" until May 2009. Therefore, it is no coincidence that sister
Carol thought she was seeing a bridge in New York.
|
 |
The
troubling dreams that sister Carol had prior to this vision
represent the sequence of pelting judgements that America has been under
since the delay began in May 2005. These judgements include
city-destroying hurricanes,
dramatic
bridge collapses,
raging fires,
flooding,
historic
droughts, vicious
winter storms, and
snow
in warm-weather regions; even
explosions
in the middle of Manhattan and
world-shocking mass murders have been included in this
rain of
pelting judgements.
|
 |
The fact that sister Carol was awake but had
her eyes closed during
this vision represents the nature of God's attack against America up until
now. Even though the rain of judgements has been strong and persistent, most
believers continue to see them as a lump of unrelated individual events,
without realising that they are part of a "lump-sum
treatment" that God is unleashing upon
the land
of Thomas. All these judgements are spiritually related and are part of
one fabric, an
indivisible judgement tunic hovering over America during its period of
spiritual civil war.
|
 |
As we have said
before,
cars are a figure of methods and procedures. When used in a negative
context, cars are a figure of man's religious methods and the ministries
that uphold these methods. Therefore, the
colliding vehicles
in the vision represent God's judgement against the ministries in the
American Church that pretend as if they can cross into God's Glory
without
surrendering the
pre-eminence of the soul over the Spirit. The abundance of
these soul-centred ministries was instrumental in delaying the spiritual
revival process that was to start in 2005.
The fact that
these vehicles were veering in
different directions, as if shaken by an earthquake, is a figure
of how the
earthquake-causing green horse of the Apocalypse comes to expose
the
Korah leadership of the Church as a
clueless
bunch of men and women who have no idea where they are going.
|
 |
The
pearlised grey
that permeated the vision points to the spiritual reason that prompted the
judgement of God portrayed in the vision. As we have said
before, the American Church was supposed to
progress from the "black-horse"
stage into the "green-horse stage", the
stage during which she would welcome
God's visitation.
Instead of progressing from "black" to a
non-compromising "green", however, the American Church
regressed from "black"
to a half-hearted "grey",
a colour-blind
grey in which the Gospel of God is reduced to a simplified faith that
dismisses God's deep wisdom. This is the reason why the tone of grey seen by
sister Carol was "pearlised". As we have said
before,
pearls are a figure of God's apostolic wisdom. America
lost
the opportunity to abound in God's apostolic pearls because she belittled
them, dismissing them as "superfluous" for her religious plans. Because of
this, these pearls are now releasing
apostolic judgement on America's half-hearted greyness.
|
 |
In the vision, a part of the bridge seemed to
have one section
lower than the other. This points to the spiritual division that the
institutionalised Church constantly enforces, an
Old-Covenant
division that separates the Body of Christ into "ministers" and "laymen". It
is impossible to bring about God's
latter-rain revival under an atmosphere
that teaches that certain believers are to consider themselves as belonging
to an
inherently lower level than the other, more "privileged" believers.
|
 |
The connection between the vision's greyness and
America's half-heartedness is emphasised by the appearance of the "semi-trailer
truck" (i.e.- articulated lorry) in the vision, since the prefix
"semi" means "half". As indicated on
wikipedia.org,
articulated lorries (or artics) are also known as "transfer
trucks" in the U.S. and Canada; this speaks of how the American Church's
spiritual transfer into God's Glory was frustrated by God because, just
like Uzzah and David, the American Church wanted to
carry out this transfer the wrong way (2 Samuel 6:3-8).
Artics are also known as "18-wheelers",
which points to the number "18". As we have shared
before, the number "18" speaks of the carnage decreed on America, a
carnage that could have been averted had the American Church been fully
submissive to God's will.
Artics are also known as "Big rigs" and "Diesels"
in America. These names point to the "Big
D"
spirit of ministerial reverence that was instrumental in hindering God's
revival
in New York and America.
Artics are also known as "juggernauts" in
the UK. According to
wikipedia.org, the word "juggernaut" is derived from an Indian word
meaning "lord of the universe", and is used to refer to anything
so unstoppable that it crushes anything that gets in its path. This is how
America's large ministries feel. They indoctrinate believers into trusting
them unconditionally by equating loyalty to God with loyalty to them. This
turns them into the "lords of the universe", spiritual
behemoths who wield great power in the lives of many souls,
enabling
them to delay many of God's operations on Earth. Due to the millions of
souls that surrender unconditionally to them, they feel like unstoppable
juggernauts, and they do not hesitate to crush anyone who dares to question
the wisdom of their route. As shown by sister Carol's vision, however, these
juggernauts shall be stopped, for no man can defy God's
righteousness and win, no matter how
large his lorry may be.
|
 |
The reason why the artic in the vision ends up
crosswise, with its cab
overhanging the right side of the
bridge, is because these "juggernaut" ministries can take
believers no further than "level-1
righteousness". The other level of
righteousness, the one required to enter
into God's Glory, is inaccessible to them, just as the tree of life was
inaccessible
to the fallen Adam.

The fact that the bridge in the dream seemed
like the Brooklyn Bridge
has deep prophetic significance. It is no spiritual coincidence that the
only time that we have ever explicitly mentioned the "Brooklyn Bridge" prior
to this post is in the "U.S.
Revival delayed" word posted in May 2005, the month that the delay
began.
On a cold and foggy December Sunday morning of
2005, the Lord led me to the Wall Street area of Manhattan; and, as I walked
on the snow and ice that covered the pavements, I suddenly found myself at
the foot of the Brooklyn Bridge. I can still recall the eerie sadness I felt
as I stood there, staring up at the bridge, with a foggy, grey sky acting as
a dreary background. The Lord then said to me, "I
wanted My remnant to cross into Brooklyn, but the Church did not allow it".
I understood that "crossing into Brooklyn" meant
crossing into a spiritual dimension in which the Brook of God would be
free to flow. Ever since then, I have been firmly convinced that the
Brooklyn Bridge has deep spiritual significance with regard to America's
latter-rain revival. As we briefly alluded to in a previous
word,
the God of Israel shall OK America's revival when America allows His remnant
to "cross the Brooklyn Bridge". Therefore, it is no coincidence that the
Brooklyn Bridge appeared in sister Carol's vision. There are other things
regarding Brooklyn and the Brooklyn Bridge which we are not at liberty to
share at this time.

In the vision, sister Carol was watching the
bridge from the
Manhattan side, just as the Lord had me do on that cold morning of
December 4, 2005. There is a prophetic reason for this. New York City is
comprised of 5 constituent boroughs, each of which is a separate county of
New York state. As indicated on
wikipedia.org,
Staten Island is "Richmond County", the Bronx is "Bronx County", Queens is
"Queens County", Manhattan is "New York County", and Brooklyn is " Kings
County". Therefore, we can say that, as she watched the Brooklyn
Bridge from the Manhattan side, sister Carol was watching the transition
from New York County into Kings County. Since New York is the
spiritual epicentre of America's latter-rain revival, the transition
from New York County into Kings County represents America's transition into a spiritual atmosphere in which the "male"
Spirit is king. The American Church is indeed willing to let the remnant
reach Queens County, but she is not willing to let them reach Kings County,
because she wants a revival where the "female"
soul remains supreme as "queen over all". God was calling the American queen to warmly
receive and host His remnant, giving them comfort and enabling them for the
battle. However, as the time for hosting the remnant drew near, the
American Church realised that welcoming the remnant meant relinquishing the
throne to the Spirit, and that was too much for the Church's soul to bear.
Therefore, she went from being a warm "homecoming queen" to an
icy-cold
Halloween witch, and the transition into Kings County (i.e.-
God's Kingdom)
was delayed.

The
funeral march
represents the horrible
death experience that God's remnant were sent to as America denied them
entrance into her mainstream. This has drawn God's ire against America;
therefore,
if America is to be restored, she must be judged and forced to partake in
the death experience that she forced the remnant to go through.
The fact that sister
Carol heard a funeral "march" is God's way of pointing to the month of March
... March
2006,
a month spiritually related to the remnant's horrid death experience
following the delay of 2005.
|
 |
The time that sister Carol saw on her clock ...
5:24 or 5:25 ...
immediately points to Amos 5:24-25:
"24But
let judgment run down as waters, and righteousness as a mighty stream.
25Have ye offered unto me sacrifices and offerings in the
wilderness forty years, O house of Israel?"
(Amos 5:24-25)
America wants a "Brooklyn" (i.e.- the Brook of
God) without God's righteousness and judgements. Yet, God has declared that
His river is a pure river,
and His river is laden with His nature, which means that it is laden with
His righteous judgements (v24).
The American Church wants the blessings without the sacrifice required by
God (v25),
and that sacrifice is the
spiritual tithe required to
cross
Adam's bridge. Unfortunately, the American Church is
defiantly reluctant to hand over the tithe.

The fact that sister Carol's clock is an
old-fashion-face clock,
not the digital type, means that the clock is a circle, which reveals a
crucial spiritual principle that most believers in the American Church are
unable or unwilling to comprehend. As we have
said
before,
"circles" are a figure of God's purifying judgements. Without
judgement-unleashing intercession,
kairos
time on Earth stops, even as chronos time continues ticking. That is
the reason why the Lord prompted sister Carol to make a reference to a
circle-faced clock.
The old-fashion-face clock also points to the
Grand Central clock that we shared on in a previous
word. Let him who has ears hear what the Lord is saying. |
