THE DREAM: My husband had drawn a map or a diagram of a city. The city appeared to be long and narrow. On that map, my husband had drawn something at the entrance of the city that indicated that the city was now ready to be taken. I recall that I said to my husband out loud, “So, _____ is now at the city gate!” I can’t recall what fills in that blank, other than I believe the name began with the letter “O”. And, I believe the “O” was to the west of the city, as well as was at the city gate. END
Speak, Lord, for your servant is listening. I read I Corinthians 2:
When I came to you, brothers, I did not come with eloquence or superior wisdom as I proclaimed to you the testimony about God. 2 For I resolved to know nothing while I was with you except Jesus Christ and him crucified. 3 I came to you in weakness and fear, and with much trembling. 4 My message and my preaching were not with wise and persuasive words, but with a demonstration of the Spirit’s power, 5 so that your faith might not rest on men’s wisdom, but on God’s power.
Wisdom From the Spirit
6 We do, however, speak a message of wisdom among the mature, but not the wisdom of this age or of the rulers of this age, who are coming to nothing. 7 No, we speak of God’s secret wisdom, a wisdom that has been hidden and that God destined for our glory before time began. 8 None of the rulers of this age understood it, for if they had, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. 9 However, as it is written:
“No eye has seen,
no ear has heard,
no mind has conceived
what God has prepared for those who love him”—
10 but God has revealed it to us by his Spirit.
The Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God. 11 For who among men knows the thoughts of a man except the man’s spirit within him? In the same way no one knows the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God. 12 We have not received the spirit of the world but the Spirit who is from God, that we may understand what God has freely given us. 13 This is what we speak, not in words taught us by human wisdom but in words taught by the Spirit, expressing spiritual truths in spiritual words. 14 The man without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him, and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually discerned. 15 The spiritual man makes judgments about all things, but he himself is not subject to any man’s judgment:
16 “For who has known the mind of the Lord
that he may instruct him?”
But we have the mind of Christ.
My Understanding: I read several news stories which I will reference under “sources” at the end of this writing. The first story I will reference is an AP news story about Wis. Republicans pressing forward on an anti-union bill. The words “plan” and “design” were used in this news article, which then the Lord immediately connected with this drawing of a map or a diagram of a city. To paraphrase some of the contents of this news article, I believe the Lord is showing me here, in relation to this dream, my “husband’s,” i.e. the New World Order’s, plan, design or map for the people and the governments of the world:
• To strip the people and governments of nations of their rights
• To push their global agenda and to punish anyone in non-compliance
• A full-out attack designed to cripple nations (governments and people)
• Planned protests to dent the resolve of the governments and the people
• Huge protests to get the people and the leaders to flee (yield; surrender)
• To fake (put on a show) or to report the news in such a way as to deceive the minds of naïve people into thinking that what is reported is what is really happening
• To destroy property and to attack people
• To gain control of people and governments world-wide
• To force concessions by threatening and carrying out thousands of deaths
• To require the people and governments to pay to the “union” of nations
• To successfully kill anyone who would try to stop the “union” of nations under the N.W.O. from succeeding in taking over the world – people, governments & resources
They are able to carry out their plans world-wide, partly due to either apathy or gullibility of the people in the U.S.A., who are deceived into believing their lies they print as news.
Then, I read a news article about the unrest in Libya (ref. below). In relation to this dream, and to this news article, I saw that the city that is ready to be taken is Tripoli, the capital city of Libya in which Gadhafi is holed up, supposedly. Anti-government protesters were apparently attacked in a key city west of Tripoli, the capital city of Libya, by a Libyan army unit. In the dream, I sensed that the gate (entry; opening; access; and/or approach) to the city was west of the city and that “O” was also west of the city at this city “gate”. It appears to me, thus, that this is not a literal gate to the city, but that what happened in this attack on Zawiya, resulting in heavy casualties, possibly numbering hundreds or thousands, is the access into the capital city of Tripoli. My husband had drawn (in the dream) a map (plan, design) at this city gate, which I believe is what is listed in the bullets above. This is the plan for taking over many of these nations and governments, so this plan or design listed in the bullets above is the access, not only to Tripoli, but to many capital cities world-wide.
As far as the “O” that was also at this city gate (access), I do believe, for one, that the “O” represents Obama, who is the man out front of this campaign of the N.W.O. to conquer the kings and kingdoms of the world one by one until all are taken, and who acts and pretends to be shocked and against what he says is being done by the people of those nations. I believe the Lord has been showing me in all of these conquering of nations that the people we are calling “the enemy,” or in this case, “the protestors” are a mix of two things. For one, we, the USA, and the N.W.O. are the “terrorists,” “insurgents,” “mercenaries,” and “protestors” in these countries for the very purpose of taking them over and bringing them by force, if necessary, under the rule of the N.W.O. (ultimately, the beast of Revelation). The people we are calling the terrorists, insurgents, protestors, etc. in order to excuse killing them, are believers in Jesus Christ who are being killed for their faith in Jesus and they, as well, could be those who are resisting the takeover of the N.W.O. So, the “O” not only stands for Obama, but it stands for this global order that is conquering the world.
Another thought on the “O” is oil, as this area of Libya is a key oil port. Whoever controls the oil controls the world, right? Certainly whoever controls the world’s natural resources controls the world. And, this is what the book of Revelation prophesied would take place.
I also could not help but notice how the New World Order is pretty much now controlling all the nations surrounding the nation of Israel, which brought to mind that scripture that said in Luke 21:20-21:
“When you see Jerusalem being surrounded by armies, you will know that its desolation is near. Then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains, let those in the city get out, and let those in the country not enter the city.”Yet, the Lord often shows me a less literal meaning of “the city” and of “Jerusalem,” and he shows me the city as the city on a hill, i.e. the true church, the Body of Christ, and that Jerusalem represents the New Jerusalem, the people of God, i.e. true believers in Jesus. Revelation tells us the dragon will come after the saints of God and that it is believers in Jesus Christ who will be persecuted and killed in these last days for their faith in Jesus. So, the “city” that is narrow (the narrow way to heaven) and long (eternal) and is ready to be taken truly is the city on a hill, the true church, the Body of Christ, which is now being surrounded by armies of this New World Order world-wide. The entrance or the gateway into that city is by God’s grace (Jesus’ death for our sins and his resurrection in conquering death, hell and sin) through faith in Jesus Christ to save us from our sins. Obama and this New World Order are standing in that gate, i.e. they are trying to take the place of God, and they are deceiving the minds of God’s people in the U.S.A. into thinking that what they are doing in these other nations is for the good of the people – to lead them toward democracy.
Today’s passage in 1 Corinthians 2 states that Paul’s preaching was not with wise and persuasive words - like that of the U.S.A. government and government media (my addition) - but with a demonstration of the Spirit’s power, so that our faith might not rest on men’s wisdom, but on God’s power. I believe the Lord has been calling out to his church for some time to stop putting their faith in men, especially in the U.S. government, but to put their trust in God alone. Paul said that he and his fellow servants in the Lord did not speak with the wisdom of this age or of the rulers of this age, who are coming to nothing. And, that is what I believe is happening world-wide, i.e. the rulers of this age coming to nothing as God is using Obama and the New World Order to tear down kingdoms and to remove the kings of this world from their thrones, and one day God will judge Obama and the New World Order, too, and he will bring them down to nothing.
Then, the passage states that if the rulers of this age had understood the truth about Jesus Christ and of the gospel message that they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. The way in which the rulers of this age, today, are “crucifying” the Lord of glory is through the persecution and deaths of those who are true followers of Jesus Christ. The passage goes on to state that the man without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him, and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually discerned. This is why men without the Spirit of God will “crucify” the followers of Jesus Christ, too, because they do not understand, and it is why they will still crucify Jesus Christ in their hearts through unbelief, because they refuse to believe in the only one who can give them hope for this life and the next.
God is calling out to the people of the world and to the people of the U.S.A. to stop putting our faith and trust in man who cannot save us, but to put our faith and trust in Jesus Christ by believing in what he did on the cross in dying for our sins so that we could be free from the penalty of sin and bondage to and the control of sin over our lives on a daily basis. The way we believe and put our faith and trust in Jesus is through humbling ourselves before him in prayer, through confessing our sins, through repentance (turning from our sin and toward Jesus), and then through walking in faith and obedience to God’s commands. If you have not yet put your faith in Jesus Christ, I pray you will today.
Jesus, Keep Me Near the Cross / Fanny J. Crosby / William H. Doane
Jesus, keep me near the cross;
There a precious fountain,
Free to all, a healing stream,
Flows from Calvary's mountain.
Near the cross! O Lamb of God,
Bring its scenes before me;
Help me walk from day to day
With its shadow o'er me.
Near the cross I'll watch and wait,
Hoping, trusting ever,
Till I reach the golden strand
Just beyond the river.
In the cross, in the cross,
Be my glory ever,
Till my raptured soul shall find
Rest beyond the river.
