THE DREAM: I was traveling with someone by vehicle down a road. I believe we were traveling north. To our right (or east) was a building. I believe it was a library. Someone had painted the exterior of the building. Most of the building was a clay color, but the painter had painted a portion of the front of the building in purple. There was some kind of controversy over the painting of this building. I said that I liked the painting. Evidently it was a small number of people who had approved the painting, and the feeling among the people was that this should have met with the acceptance of the majority, not with just this small number of people.
Following this, there was a choir that was singing outdoors in a public place on what appeared to be a porch to a building. I think the building had columns on it on the outside in the porch area. The choir was all dressed alike, i.e. the men dressed alike and the women dressed alike. I had the sense that the choir represented this small number of people who had approved the painting of this building (library) and that somehow that transferred over into their outfits they were wearing, i.e. I think they were also wearing purple.
The choir members were supposed to have memorized their music. I think it was an original work. Yet, when they sang, many of them opened their books and sang out of them. I know that I hummed along in harmony with them (or with one of them) in one small section of the musical piece. END
My Understanding: I read: With Obama's visit, India displays new power - http://apnews.excite.com/article/20101109/D9JCILKG0.html; and Obama voices concerns about Mideast peace talks - http://apnews.excite.com/article/20101109/D9JCKARG0.html.
First of all I noted two sentences in this second article that sound (grammatically speaking) as though Obama is the president of Indonesia, as well as there were two sentences that paralleled the White House with the presidential palace of Indonesia and a heroes cemetery in Indonesia with the Arlington National Cemetery in the United States. The article said:
“Obama raised his Mideast concerns while appearing with Yudhoyono during his first visit to Indonesia as president to the country where he lived for four years as a child.” “Obama and first lady Michelle Obama arrived on a gray, humid day in Indonesia's capital, and were greeted by dozens of dignitaries at Istana Merdeka, a white columned presidential palace reminiscent of the White House.” “The future president moved to Jakarta when he was 6…” And, “The president was to conclude his Indonesia visit with a wreath-laying at Kalibata Heroes Cemetery, the burial site of veterans of the Indonesian National Revolution, somewhat equivalent to Arlington National Cemetery in the United States.”Pluralistic – “the existence of groups with different ethnic, religious, or political backgrounds within one society” (Encarta).
The article also stated: Obama “voiced support for Yudhoyono's efforts to nurture a rapidly growing society even in a time when Indonesia has been hit by earthquakes, a tsunami, and now a volcanic eruption. Concerns about volcanic ash caused the White House to shorten Obama's stay here and expedite his takeoff Wednesday for the G-20 summit in Seoul.” "The president will be able to speak to the positive example that Indonesia sets ... as a country with a thriving Islamic community, but also a country that has a pluralistic tradition." “Planning for Obama's Asia trip featured a religious controversy when the president opted not to visit the Golden Temple Sikh holy site in India, spawning rumors that he wanted to avoid wearing a head covering that could make him appear Muslim. In Jakarta the president planned to visit the giant Istqlal Mosque, the largest mosque in Southeast Asia and a popular tourist attraction.”
First off, I definitely saw that the article was making comparisons between America and Indonesia, between their war heroes and ours, and between their government and ours and that it sounded as though Obama was their president as well as he is ours. In the dream I noted that the building from which the choir was singing had columns on the exterior, and this news article mentioned that the presidential palace of Indonesia was “white columned” and was “reminiscent of the White House.” Reminiscent means “suggesting similarities or comparisons with something or somebody else” (Encarta). I was definitely seeing that this was taking place in this article in comparing their country to the U.S.A.
In the dream, I saw a small group of people on a porch with columns and they were singing as a choir. This article mentioned that Obama was greeted by dozens of dignitaries at the presidential (columned) palace. In the dream, I hummed along in harmony with at least one of the people on the stage who was singing in the choir, and in the article it said that Obama voiced support (harmony with) Yudhoyono’s efforts to “nurture a rapidly growing society.” So, the question comes into play, “What is this ‘rapidly growing society’ that is being nurtured by the leaders of Indonesia?” And, what does it mean that their dignitaries were singing in this choir? A choir/chorus is often used in dreams to denote people speaking together in unison (agreement) and that they are all singing the same song (message). I believe the Lord has shown me previously that these earthquakes, tsunami and volcanic eruptions in Indonesia have been man-made and for the purpose of bringing the nation of Indonesia into submission (singing in the choir) to the New World Order.
The choir was dressed in purple, which was a reflection of the small group of people who made the decision to paint the front of the library in clay and purple. I wanted to understand the significance of purple, so I looked it up, and that led me to what I truly believe is this “rapidly growing society” that is being nurtured by the leaders of Indonesia, to which they are now singing together the same song (message) in unison and to which Obama is supporting.
Purple – “a dark color that is formed as a pigment by combining red and blue; imperial power or high rank” (Encarta). Imperial – “involving or relating to an empire or its ruler; holding supreme power” (Encarta). Empire – “a group of nations, territories, or peoples ruled by a single authority, especially an emperor or empress” (Encarta).
This rising and emerging of India as a global power and as a new member of the U.N. Security Council reminded me of the rising of the Phoenix from the ashes, which then reminded of this mural in the chambers of the U.N. Security Council - http://seeker401.wordpress.com/2010/07/20/mural-inside-un-security-chamber/. This is just one author’s thoughts on the mural. And, this is an article about the Phoenix - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phoenix_(mythology). In this first painting, I could not help but notice that the background color was a clay color, that the inside of the bowl was the color of NATO and that the article stated that the Phoenix “is a mythical bird that is a fire spirit with a colorful plumage and a tail of gold and scarlet (or purple, blue, and green according to some legends).” This is about the rising of this New World Order, I believe.
In the dream, I noted that this painting of the front of this building with purple and clay was controversial, i.e. that this decision to paint the building this color was decided upon by a small number of people and that the majority had no say in it. I do believe this painting represents this mural in the chambers of the U.N. Security Council which depicts the rising of the Phoenix out of the ashes, as well as it represents that painting of the Phoenix with the clay-colored flames in the background, which is symbolic of the rise of the New World Order.
A library is a collection of books, newspapers, records, etc. so it represents knowledge, wisdom, understanding, etc. It can also represent the Bible, since this controversy in the dream was over the painting over of the library and since the article mentioned a controversy as a religious controversy. The article also used the term “pluralistic,” which in and of itself does not seem like a problem, but when this type of situation is forced upon society, i.e. we are forced to accept other religions as valid, and when it means a blending of all governments into one government of the New World Order, then this “pluralism” is not a good thing. This is what our government has been working toward world-wide. I’ve had many dreams and visions, too, that raised the possibility that Obama is not just the president of the U.S.A., but that he is, perhaps, the king of the world.
In this news article about India rising and emerging as a new global power and as possibly the newest permanent member of the U.N. Security Council (the ones with the mural), it states that “Barack Obama’s trip here delivered a new message: India has risen.” Immediately that plugged into the choir music which was an “original work” (new message) that the leaders of Indonesia were singing in unison and to which Obama was humming along (he obviously knew the music). The article continued by stating that the U.K. had also acknowledged India’s “new clout.” And, the article stated that “By the end of the year, when the leaders of France, Russia and China are expected to come, India will have hosted the leaders of all the permanent members of the U.N. Security Council.” Germany is the only non-permanent member of the U.N. Security Council, termed the P5 + 1. With the addition of India, there would be seven nations on the U.N. Security Council, which made me think of the Red Dragon (in Revelation) with the seven heads and the ten horns and seven crowns on its heads (Rev. 12) and the Scarlet Beast with the seven heads and ten horns (Rev. 17).
The article on India said that India’s rise to global power status by being accepted by the permanent members of the U.N. Security Council is a “landmark” that “underscores the shift in power toward India…” When I think of choir music and the people singing from the book (the sheet music) I cannot help but think of the fact that they were singing from a music score (I majored in music education my first time around in college and I’m a singer). The people in Indonesia who were singing in this choir were under the New World Order, so this singing from this book in unison is thus being compared to this landmark (the approval of India as part of the U.N. Security Council) that underscores this shift in power, only the true shift in power is to the New World Order, i.e. to this Red Dragon and to the Scarlet Beast of Revelation. This is what this rise of the Phoenix is really all about. The article mentioned that India was rising in power to the “global stage.” I saw this stage as the porch to the building with the columns with the dignitaries who were all singing out of the same choir book. What actual role India is going to play I am not sure, only that they are now part of the powers, it appears, that are of this council with the mural that depicts what events will take place during the time of the Great Tribulation when the Beast rules.
I saved the passage of scripture to the last so that it is the last thing remembered here. Speak, Lord, for your servant is listening. I read Matthew 12:38-45:
The Sign of Jonah
38 Then some of the Pharisees and teachers of the law said to him, “Teacher, we want to see a sign from you.”
39 He answered, “A wicked and adulterous generation asks for a sign! But none will be given it except the sign of the prophet Jonah. 40 For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of a huge fish, so the Son of Man will be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth. 41 The men of Nineveh will stand up at the judgment with this generation and condemn it; for they repented at the preaching of Jonah, and now something greater than Jonah is here. 42 The Queen of the South will rise at the judgment with this generation and condemn it; for she came from the ends of the earth to listen to Solomon’s wisdom, and now something greater than Solomon is here.
43 “When an impure spirit comes out of a person, it goes through arid places seeking rest and does not find it. 44 Then it says, ‘I will return to the house I left.’ When it arrives, it finds the house unoccupied, swept clean and put in order. 45 Then it goes and takes with it seven other spirits more wicked than itself, and they go in and live there. And the final condition of that person is worse than the first. That is how it will be with this wicked generation.”
In Conclusion: Jonah was a prophet of God. He was called of God to go to Nineveh and to tell them that God was going to judge them. The people repented, and God relented. Jonah, nonetheless, did not immediately go. He went the other direction in a boat, God sent a storm, the other people in the boat were forced to throw Jonah overboard, God calmed the storm but he provided a great fish that swallowed Jonah and Jonah was in the belly of the fish 3 days and 3 nights. When Jonah repented and called on God, God had the fish vomit him out and then God told Jonah again to go to Nineveh, which he did, and which resulted in the people repenting and God relenting. Jesus also was in the heart of the earth three days and three nights because he took upon himself all of our sins when he died on the cross. He was thus buried with our sins but he rose again, conquering death, hell, sin and Satan. So, the sign of Jonah is two-fold, I believe.
First off, I believe the sign of Jonah is a picture of God’s judgment on a man whom he had called but who had refused to respond to God’s calling and who ran from God. So, God had him swallowed by this fish and he was there for 3 days and 3 nights. I believe this is also a picture of the Great Tribulation where God will pour out his judgments on the earth and against his own people, too, for their refusal to heed his call on their lives, for their unwillingness to repent, etc. It will last 3.5 years, according to scripture. During this time of judgment, the Queen of the South will rise with this generation and condemn it. I looked up “Queen of the South” and learned this - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Queen_of_Sheba. There are varied interpretations of this, so I will not venture to try to offer an interpretation other than to note that a library was painted over in this dream and Solomon was a man of great wisdom of God, that Obama is on this Asian tour and that these articles speak of the rise of India and they speak of the U.N. Security Council which then leads to the rise of the Phoenix which is the New World Order, so it could well be that this “Queen of the South” that is rising to condemn this generation is truly the Beast of Revelation whom God will use as his divine instrument of judgment against this generation.
The second part of this sign of Jonah has to do with what Jesus did for us in dying on the cross, in taking upon him the sins of the world, in being buried in the earth, then in rising again in conquering death, hell, sin and Satan so that we, as his followers, can also die to our sins, be raised with him to walk in newness of life and so that we can be free of the penalty of, bondage to and the control of sin over our lives on a daily basis and have the hope of eternal life in heaven with God one day. This song was in my mind when I awoke this morning:
‘Tis So Sweet to Trust in Jesus / Louisa M.R. Stead / William J. Kirkpatrick
’Tis so sweet to trust in Jesus,
Just to take Him at His Word;
Just to rest upon His promise,
Just to know, “Thus saith the Lord!”
Jesus, Jesus, how I trust Thee!
How I’ve proved Thee o’er and o’er
Jesus, Jesus, precious Jesus!
O for grace to trust Thee more!
