Tectonic Shift

Tuesday, September 16, 2008 -

I fell back asleep and then I woke from THIS DREAM: I was in a caravan of cars. There were two cars and I was in the lead car, then we added a third car driven by my middle son, John with his wife, Faith. I cautioned the driver of the middle car, who I believe to be my oldest son, David, not to lose his brother who was lagging behind him, especially after we made a turn and then went under a bridge.

Then, there was a shift in drivers. David (or someone else) took John’s place and was now driving his car, which looked like a huge truck, and so John’s wife, Faith, moved into the second car with my husband, Rick, who was now driving the second car, which then left me all alone in the front car.

They stopped somewhere and someone came to my window to inform me of the switch, even though I had seen someone else driving John’s vehicle via my rearview mirror. When I was told that Faith was now in the car with my husband, I said I would rather be in the car with my husband and to let Faith drive my car. END

This song is going through my head: How Great Is Our God / Chris Tomlin

How great is our God
Sing with me
How great is our God
And all will see how great
How great is our God

Speak, Lord, for your servant is listening. I read Jeremiah 19:

This is what the LORD says: "Go and buy a clay jar from a potter. Take along some of the elders of the people and of the priests 2 and go out to the Valley of Ben Hinnom, near the entrance of the Potsherd Gate. There proclaim the words I tell you, 3 and say, 'Hear the word of the LORD, O kings of Judah and people of Jerusalem. This is what the LORD Almighty, the God of Israel, says: Listen! I am going to bring a disaster on this place that will make the ears of everyone who hears of it tingle. 4 For they have forsaken me and made this a place of foreign gods; they have burned sacrifices in it to gods that neither they nor their fathers nor the kings of Judah ever knew, and they have filled this place with the blood of the innocent. 5 They have built the high places of Baal to burn their sons in the fire as offerings to Baal—something I did not command or mention, nor did it enter my mind. 6 So beware, the days are coming, declares the LORD, when people will no longer call this place Topheth or the Valley of Ben Hinnom, but the Valley of Slaughter.

7 " 'In this place I will ruin the plans of Judah and Jerusalem. I will make them fall by the sword before their enemies, at the hands of those who seek their lives, and I will give their carcasses as food to the birds of the air and the beasts of the earth. 8 I will devastate this city and make it an object of scorn; all who pass by will be appalled and will scoff because of all its wounds. 9 I will make them eat the flesh of their sons and daughters, and they will eat one another's flesh during the stress of the siege imposed on them by the enemies who seek their lives.'

10 "Then break the jar while those who go with you are watching, 11 and say to them, 'This is what the LORD Almighty says: I will smash this nation and this city just as this potter's jar is smashed and cannot be repaired. They will bury the dead in Topheth until there is no more room. 12 This is what I will do to this place and to those who live here, declares the LORD. I will make this city like Topheth. 13 The houses in Jerusalem and those of the kings of Judah will be defiled like this place, Topheth—all the houses where they burned incense on the roofs to all the starry hosts and poured out drink offerings to other gods.' "

14 Jeremiah then returned from Topheth, where the LORD had sent him to prophesy, and stood in the court of the LORD's temple and said to all the people, 15 "This is what the LORD Almighty, the God of Israel, says: 'Listen! I am going to bring on this city and the villages around it every disaster I pronounced against them, because they were stiff-necked and would not listen to my words.' "

My Understanding: This dream is about Monday’s “tectonic shift” on Wall Street. To read about its “Triple Shock”:

I admit that I am not knowledgeable in the field of finance and Wall Street, so if you have anything to add, please feel free. What I do understand is that this “shifting” of drivers and passengers portrayed in this dream has to do with the following:

Lehman Brothers filed for bankruptcy, so this is most likely the shift of drivers in John’s car. Now, his “wife” moves to the next car and becomes a passenger of my husband, so I see this as Bank of America buying Merrill Lynch. Then, I’m left out front all by myself, so I am AIG, but I’m asking to move into the car with my husband, which represents AIG asking the FED for a $40 MIL Bailout.

As far as the spiritual application goes, the Lord has allowed all this to happen because his people in America have forsaken HIM and have made America and/or New York and Wall Street a place of “foreign gods.” Definitely!! So, Wall Street will now be called the “Valley of Slaughter.” This will happen because the people were stiff-necked and would not listen to God’s words.
