Habakkuk 2

Then the Lord replied: "Write down the revelation and make it plain on tablets so that a herald may run with it. For the revelation awaits an appointed time; it speaks of the end and will not prove false. Though it linger, wait for it; it will certainly come and will not delay."

Upside Down Cross and Letter V

Monday, November 15, 2010, 10:30 p.m. – I woke from a dream.

THE DREAM: The letter V was in the dream. It was a prominent letter in a word like LIVE. I also remember something shaped like an upside down T that could be turned various directions. When it was a T, it reminded me of the cross of Christ Jesus. END

Speak, Lord, for your servant is listening. I read Matthew 21:33-46:

The Parable of the Tenants
33 “Listen to another parable: There was a landowner who planted a vineyard. He put a wall around it, dug a winepress in it and built a watchtower. Then he rented the vineyard to some farmers and moved to another place. 34 When the harvest time approached, he sent his servants to the tenants to collect his fruit.

35 “The tenants seized his servants; they beat one, killed another, and stoned a third. 36 Then he sent other servants to them, more than the first time, and the tenants treated them the same way. 37 Last of all, he sent his son to them. ‘They will respect my son,’ he said.

38 “But when the tenants saw the son, they said to each other, ‘This is the heir. Come, let’s kill him and take his inheritance.’ 39 So they took him and threw him out of the vineyard and killed him.

40 “Therefore, when the owner of the vineyard comes, what will he do to those tenants?”

41 “He will bring those wretches to a wretched end,” they replied, “and he will rent the vineyard to other tenants, who will give him his share of the crop at harvest time.”

42 Jesus said to them, “Have you never read in the Scriptures:

“‘The stone the builders rejected
has become the cornerstone;
the Lord has done this,
and it is marvelous in our eyes’?

43 “Therefore I tell you that the kingdom of God will be taken away from you and given to a people who will produce its fruit. 44 Anyone who falls on this stone will be broken to pieces; anyone on whom it falls will be crushed.”

45 When the chief priests and the Pharisees heard Jesus’ parables, they knew he was talking about them. 46 They looked for a way to arrest him, but they were afraid of the crowd because the people held that he was a prophet.

My Understanding: I looked up the letter V and the upside down T symbols:

The upside down T means Perpendicular. That means that you have two right angles back to back - In other words, a line cutting another line at a perfect 90 degree angle - http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20070913191233AAAGIRi.
Perpendicular means vertical; upright. Upright means righteous (MS Thesaurus).

The upside down cross symbolizes mockery and rejection of Jesus. Necklaces are worn by many Satanists. It can be seen on Rock singers and their album covers. http://www.exposingsatanism.org/signsymbols.htm

As I thought about this upside down cross as a symbol of the mockery and rejection of Jesus Christ and the upside down T representing two right angles back to back, vertical, uprightness, and righteousness, I realized that the Lord was using these two symbols in combination with each other to represent Jesus as the cornerstone the builders rejected. A cornerstone of a building would be a right angle, as well as Jesus is righteousness.

There are two sides to this upside down T, so there are two right angles side-by-side sharing a common vertical line. I believe this is a picture of Jesus and his followers. We are only righteous because of his righteousness. When we put our faith and trust in Jesus Christ, we are joined with him, i.e. we are crucified with him and we share in the fellowship of his sufferings, becoming like him in his death. And, we, as well, will suffer the same mockery and rejection that Jesus faced if we are truly in Christ Jesus and he is in us.

This link combines the V and the upside down cross together –
The peace symbol (also called the "broken cross," "crow's foot," "witch's foot," "Nero Cross," "sign of the 'broken Jew,'" and the "symbol of the 'anti-Christ''') is actually a cross with the arms broken. It also signifies the "gesture of despair," and the "death of man.'' http://www.jesus-is-savior.com/False%20Religions/Wicca%20&%20Witchcraft/peace_sign.htm.

The V is also the Roman numeral for the number 5, and the number 5 is the number of death in the Illuminati and occult. Yet, V can also be a symbol of victory. And, we can be victorious in death when we stand firm in our faith in Jesus Christ and in the gospel and we are willing to die for that faith.

In this parable in Matthew, God is the vineyard owner and his Son is Jesus Christ. The vineyard represents Israel. Today Israel is true believers in Jesus Christ, for only true believers in Jesus are now God’s people. Yet, God left his people (his sheep) in the care of farmers (shepherds of the sheep, i.e. religious leaders) and they were supposed to care for the vineyard. God sent his servants (prophets, disciples, his witnesses) to gather the fruit for the harvest, but the tenants stoned, beat and killed them. Then, God sent his Son and they killed Him, too. Historically, this was about the leaders of the nation of Israel who killed Jesus Christ, yet today many believers in Jesus Christ are being executed for their faith in Jesus and some of these executions are at the hands of those who claim to be Christians. This also parallels over to our nation, the USA, which calls itself a Christian nation. God has placed us in the hands of government leaders who are now killing true believers in Jesus.

I read this story: Scanners and pat-downs upset airline passengers - http://apnews.excite.com/article/20101116/D9JGV38G1.html

“After the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, pilot unions were shown an off-the-shelf biometric identification system that was ready to go by government officials, said Sam Mayer, a Boeing 767 captain and a spokesman for the Allied Pilots Association, which represents pilots at American Airlines. The system would have made screening pilots unnecessary, he said.

“Nine years later, pilots still don't have biometric identification cards because the government and airlines have been quarreling over who should pay for the machines that can read biometric information like fingerprints and iris scans, Mayer said.”

The Lord has shown me many times over, and there is, as well, much documentation showing that the events of 9/11 were not what our government and media have promoted them to be. This was an inside job and the US government was party to the deaths of the nearly 3,000 people who died that day. 9/11 happened for many reasons, one of which was to have an excuse to go into Iraq and Afghanistan. Our government has continued to create “terrorist” threats in order to keep the people of the USA compliant with the government’s evil plans. These airport scanners and pat-downs are part of that plan. It appears to me that this is for the very purpose of inciting anger and rebellion so that the government will have no recourse but to force something like this biometric identification system. This is a set-up. The people will be so angry that they will be willing to accept what they consider the “lesser of two evils” in order to not have to go through these scanners and pat-downs. This is definitely leading up to something. They knew this was going to be the people’s reaction.

I believe that all this is leading up to the rule of the Beast and to the mark of the beast and to the rule of the antichrist. The peace symbol, which combines the V and the upside down cross together, is a symbol for the antichrist, who will kill believers in Jesus Christ. I believe this time is near and that the Lord is warning his children that it is near. I believe God is preparing them (us) for what is coming. He is letting us know that our own people will turn against us (like on 9/11) and that we are going to suffer persecution and death for our faith in Jesus Christ. Yet we can be victorious in death through our unwavering faith in Jesus Christ and our death for Jesus will actually mean our life with Him forever.

When I woke up from sleep, this song was playing in my mind:

Soldiers of Christ Arise / Charles Wesley

Soldiers of Christ, arise, and put your armor on,
Strong in the strength which God supplies, through His eternal Son.
Strong in the Lord of Hosts, and in His mighty power,
Who in the strength of Jesus trusts is more than conqueror.

Stand then in His great might, with all His strength endued,
But take, to arm you for the fight, the panoply of God;
That, having all things done, and all your conflicts passed,
Ye may o’ercome through Christ alone and stand entire at last.

Leave no unguarded place, no weakness of the soul;
Take every virtue, every grace, and fortify the whole.
From strength to strength go on; wrestle, and fight, and pray;
Tread all the powers of darkness down and win the well-fought day.
