The Big Guy

Tuesday, December 21, 2010, 10:15 p.m. – I woke from an hour-long sleep and out of a dream or else when I awoke I had a vision. This is the image that was in my mind when I awoke: I saw a very big guy with his arms stretched out left (west) and right (east) and I was over his left (west) shoulder. END

Speak, Lord, for your servant is listening. I read Luke 14:

Jesus at a Pharisee’s House
1 One Sabbath, when Jesus went to eat in the house of a prominent Pharisee, he was being carefully watched. 2 There in front of him was a man suffering from dropsy. 3 Jesus asked the Pharisees and experts in the law, “Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath or not?” 4 But they remained silent. So taking hold of the man, he healed him and sent him away.
5 Then he asked them, “If one of you has a son or an ox that falls into a well on the Sabbath day, will you not immediately pull him out?” 6 And they had nothing to say.

7 When he noticed how the guests picked the places of honor at the table, he told them this parable: 8 “When someone invites you to a wedding feast, do not take the place of honor, for a person more distinguished than you may have been invited. 9 If so, the host who invited both of you will come and say to you, ‘Give this man your seat.’ Then, humiliated, you will have to take the least important place. 10 But when you are invited, take the lowest place, so that when your host comes, he will say to you, ‘Friend, move up to a better place.’ Then you will be honored in the presence of all your fellow guests. 11 For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted.”

12 Then Jesus said to his host, “When you give a luncheon or dinner, do not invite your friends, your brothers or relatives, or your rich neighbors; if you do, they may invite you back and so you will be repaid. 13 But when you give a banquet, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind, 14 and you will be blessed. Although they cannot repay you, you will be repaid at the resurrection of the righteous.”

My Understanding: I read this news story: Obama secures GOP votes for US-Russia nuclear pact - http://apnews.excite.com/article/20101222/D9K8LHVO1.html and US poised to approve nuclear arms pact with Russia - http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/U/US_US_RUSSIA_NUCLEAR?SITE=AP&SECTION=HOME&TEMPLATE=DEFAULT&CTIME=2010-12-22-03-02-24.

These quotes from the articles stood out to me: “President Barack Obama locked up enough Senate Republican votes Tuesday to ratify a new arms control treaty with Russia…” “START” (as in the New START treaty) “stands for Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty.” “We are on the brink of writing the next chapter in the 40-year history of wrestling with the threat of nuclear weapons…” “In a fresh appeal for ratification, Defense Secretary Robert Gates said Tuesday that the treaty would "strengthen our leadership role in stopping the proliferation of nuclear weapons, and provide the necessary flexibility to structure our strategic nuclear forces to best meet national security interests." “The approval would mark a big comeback for Obama's arm controls efforts after the treaty appeared all but dead just weeks ago. It also would allow Obama to continue efforts to improve relations with Russia.”

Ok, look at my drawing of the big guy with me (USA/Obama) over his left shoulder. See the size of his arms in comparison to the USA. I don’t think this treaty is about “reducing” arms. The image itself is the opposite of what the news media is projecting with regard to this “arms control treaty.” The arms are very powerful and yield much control and they stretch west to east world-wide. “We are on the brink…” I saw as us being over the west arm of this treaty, so in a position of honor and importance and self-exaltation. This is how we are strengthening our leadership role, only it is not in stopping or reducing these arms but in strengthening them world-wide, i.e. this is about the New World Order having power and control over the entire world. The “Big comeback” I see as a revival of a Hitler-like regime or the Roman Empire or the USSR with the “US” at the beginning meaning U.S. So, the “Big Guy” is the New World Order which is a revival of an old order only now on a world-wide scale.

The book of Revelation says this in Revelation 17:7-8: Then the angel said to me: “Why are you astonished? I will explain to you the mystery of the woman and of the beast she rides, which has the seven heads and ten horns. The beast, which you saw, once was, now is not, and will come up out of the Abyss and go to his destruction. The inhabitants of the earth whose names have not been written in the book of life from the creation of the world will be astonished when they see the beast, because he once was, now is not, and yet will come.”

I believe this is what this “Big comeback” is really all about. And, God is saying to America that he who exalts himself will be humbled. We need to humble ourselves before Almighty God in submission, surrender and obedience to his will before this day finally arrives.

Praise, My Soul, the King of Heaven / Henry F. Lyte / John Goss

Praise, my soul, the King of heaven,
To His feet thy tribute bring;
Ransomed, healed, restored, forgiven,
Who, like me, His praise should sing?
Alleluia! Alleluia! Praise the everlasting King!

Praise Him for His grace and favor
To all people in distress;
Praise Him, still the same forever,
Slow to chide, and swift to bless.
Alleluia! Alleluia! Glorious in His faithfulness.

Fatherlike, He tends and spares us;
Well our feeble frame He knows;
In His hands He gently bears us,
Rescues us from all our foes.
Alleluia! Alleluia! Widely as God's mercy flows.

Angels in the heights, adoring,
You behold God face to face;
Saints triumphant, now adoring,
Gathered in from every race.
Alleluia! Alleluia! Praise with us the God of grace.
