Warning Against Falling Away
We have much to say about this, but it is hard to explain because you are slow to learn. In fact, though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you the elementary truths of God’s word all over again. You need milk, not solid food! Anyone who lives on milk, being still an infant, is not acquainted with the teaching about righteousness. But solid food is for the mature, who by constant use have trained themselves to distinguish good from evil.
Therefore let us leave the elementary teachings about Christ and go on to maturity, not laying again the foundation of repentance from acts that lead to death, and of faith in God, instruction about baptisms, the laying on of hands, the resurrection of the dead, and eternal judgment. And God permitting, we will do so.
It is impossible for those who have once been enlightened, who have tasted the heavenly gift, who have shared in the Holy Spirit, who have tasted the goodness of the word of God and the powers of the coming age, if they fall away, to be brought back to repentance, because to their loss they are crucifying the Son of God all over again and subjecting him to public disgrace.
Land that drinks in the rain often falling on it and that produces a crop useful to those for whom it is farmed receives the blessing of God. But land that produces thorns and thistles is worthless and is in danger of being cursed. In the end it will be burned.
Even though we speak like this, dear friends, we are confident of better things in your case—things that accompany salvation. God is not unjust; he will not forget your work and the love you have shown him as you have helped his people and continue to help them. We want each of you to show this same diligence to the very end, in order to make your hope sure. We do not want you to become lazy, but to imitate those who through faith and patience inherit what has been promised.
DREAM: I also woke this morning from a dream – The dream ended in a musical production. Some people were dressed in black, while others were dressed in colors. At least the people wearing colors were also wearing coats. The coats looked a whole lot like bathrobes with tie belts around the waist. It was cold outside, and it had begun to snow. The production was being performed on a stage outdoors, so some of the players were cold, evidently. The production ended up with the people in black lining up behind the people wearing colors. Then, for the end of the final number, the people in black all pulled out their rifles and aimed them at the audience. This is where the dream ended and I woke up.
Prior to this, two people were having babies at a hospital. I was with one of the families. The first family had their baby, and they were now on the outside of the hospital, awing over their new arrival. They had an older daughter who was with them, too.
The other family was anxiously awaiting the arrival of their baby, too. There was a big sis in this family, too. Someone brought some paper work, supposedly with her picture and name on it, only they had the wrong last name for her. I pointed that out immediately. On close examination of the photo, I also noticed that it was a photo of her younger sister, Heather. Heather seemed to be looking over or hovering over her younger sister, Elizabeth. I mentioned to the person who brought us the paper that the information was incorrect, but at least they had the right family.
At some point I looked outside the window and saw there was snow on the ground. I exclaimed, “It’s snowing!” Vehicles were leaving the building, as were people on foot. They all had to travel down a hill (snow covered and icy). One vehicle nearly ran into a person on foot at the base of the hill. I seemed to be observing all of this, and I was telling what I observed to someone. Then, I believe I walked up the hill, or else I imagined walking up the hill.
Back inside the hospital, my family had their baby, too, so they were getting ready to leave the hospital. Evidently this musical production at the end was supposed to be a ceremony to honor those who had just given birth, but one by one, the recipients of the ceremony deserted and went home. So, a group of women, mostly, went up on stage and took their place. These women were hecklers or busy bodies or something regarded as silly. Yet, the moderator seemed content that at least someone was up there on the stage. And, next was the production. END
My Understanding: I read four news stories, which I will reference below. The first story was about Greece, the second about Italy, the third about Cain/U.S., and the fourth about France/Israel. I read through these stories prayerfully in reference to this dream and scripture, and I will share, to the best of my understanding, what I believe the Lord is showing me about each of these stories, and how they connect to one another.
What’s in a Name?
Concerning the two new babies, I saw those as the new coalition governments (N.W.O.) in Greece and Italy. Greece’s new interim PM was to be named today, I believe. There is uncertainty surrounding whether or not Italy’s premier remains. A person’s name is his character, and in the Cain story, there is an issue concerning his character. Sarkozy has purportedly accused Israel’s PM of lying and Obama reportedly did not object to that characterization of Netanyahu. Again, a person’s name is his character, so all four of these stories are talking about a person’s (or entity’s or country’s) name/character.
In relation to the dream, I saw these names (characters or characteristics) as related to the paper work I received with the person’s (Big Sis) last name wrong, and with the photo being that of her younger sister, Heather, hovering over their younger sister, Elizabeth. “Big Sis” has often been a title given to Janet Napolitano, the U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security, though it may not be limited to her, as Germany’s Chancellor, Angela Merkel, is also a “Big Sis.” The Lord has had the name “Heather” in several of my dreams now in relation to a Prussianized army (German/strict/rigid discipline/authoritarian control/Hitler-like) of the New World Order (a precursor to or “the beast”). And, Elizabeth’s name is in reference to an oath (promise/commitment).
So, in reference to the new interim PM in Greece, the concept here is that the last name is wrong, but it’s the same family (noted by the photo of Heather and Elizabeth). Heather is the name of a flower but is also the name of the Prussianized army, which is German. Supposedly Greece’s financial partners were requiring Greek officials to co-sign some specific letter of commitment. I saw this paper as the paper work that was brought to me with the wrong last name of “Big Sis” and with an image of the Prussianized army hovering over the “oath”, i.e. this commitment to be signed. So, this signing of this document was under the pressure of this army (N.W.O.)
In the story about Italy, there was reference made to how the Italian leader’s government is viewed and how it will perform. I immediately saw this in connection with the photo (how the government looks) of the Prussianized army hovering over the “oath,” i.e. over the commitment of the government with the N.W.O., perhaps. So, this is another case of N.W.O. military guns pressuring government leaders to concede to the N.W.O. I also saw the word “perform” in relation to this performance (the stage production) which I will explain further in this writing. I also saw the reflection (photo image) of uncertainty in relation to Italy’s future as this name that had the wrong last name, but the right family, and this photo of the Prussianized army hovering over the “oath”, i.e. agreement. I also saw this in relation to the men in black on stage surrounding the silly women and the men drawing their guns and aiming them at the audience (citizens/voters/the people of nations).
In the story about Herman Cain (interesting Biblical name), it stated that he was promising (an oath) to tell it like it is and to make corrections to wrong information. In the dream, I was making corrections to wrong information. So, that would mean that the truth that he is trying to tell is that “Big Sis” goes by a different last (final or family) name (country of origin, perhaps, or political association) and it means that this Prussianized army of the N.W.O. is forcing the hand of government leaders throughout the world to step aside or to step down so that the N.W.O. (the new babies in countries) can rule in place. So, that means that “free elections” is really an illusion. The article also states that one of his accusers gave a name, which takes me back to the name being of another origin and the photo of this Prussianized army hovering over these agreements in the countries of the world to have “new governments.” She also provided a face, which was the face of Heather (the N.W.O.’s private military police) hovering over these “oaths.” As well, the article stated that Cain had an “outsider image,” which I saw as this photo of “Heather,” the snow (whitewash) outside and the outside production that ends with guns aimed at us.
Lastly, on the subject of a name, I saw, in the story about Sarkozy and Israel, with Sarkozy supposedly calling Israel’s PM “a liar,” that this is in relation to me correcting the image on the photo and the last name of the “Big Sis.” Then, the article said that Obama did not object to this image of Israel’s PM, which brought me again to the image of “Heather,” i.e. the Prussianized army and her being in the same family as “Big Sis,” which then would mean that there is a parallel between the image of Heather hovering over Elizabeth and this image of Israel’s PM, as well as it means that the Prussianized army is in the same family with Israel’s PM, i.e. Israel, but with a different last (final) name than what is on the paperwork. This would mean that Israel is equivalent to the N.W.O. which may have the final name of “the beast.” Israel is like a little U.S. (a younger sister of “Big Sis”).
Talking
There was talking going on in most all of these news articles. I was talking to someone in my dream about vehicles descending the hill (government), as well as people on foot were descending (vacating; deserting; leaving post). I thought I was going up the hill, but I could have imagined it. In the Greece article, the talks were about a power-sharing deal and the creation (birth/baby) of a new government. It becomes real obvious that there is no power-sharing going on here but leaders are being forced out of office at gun point and are being forced to agree on oath with the takeover of their countries. Greece’s current leaders reportedly withdrew some suggestion, which I saw as this leaving the stage and descending the hill, because they had given birth to the new baby (government).
I don’t understand stock markets and all the financial information in the Italy article, but what I do understand is that the “trigger point” that forced various countries to accept the “bailout,” i.e. their governments (vehicles) and leaders (people on foot) leaving the stage before the performance, and descending the hill because a new baby (gov.) had been born, was this Prussianized army hovering over the agreement. I saw the uncertainty of Italy’s future as the men in black at the end of the performance with their rifles aimed at us, the people of these nations. The article stated that a new Italian government would be more serious. The women who took the place of the people who “deserted” were silly women, so that means that the new government in Italy is not Italian. I saw Wall Street poised to open higher as these men in black on the platform poised to open fire on the people. I saw the euro “up modestly” as these silly women on stage dressed in their robes (kings) to cover them (cover-up who they really are). As well, I saw the “underlying sentiment” in the markets as the cold bodies underneath these robes/coats, i.e. cover-up for cold (dead) bodies, perhaps.
The Final Act
In the article about Cain it stated that his campaign style of unorthodoxy revolved into “uncertain new territory,” which I saw as the final act of this production, performance and play with the silly women in colors (of nations/flags) surrounded and backed by the men in black with the guns aimed at us. I saw Cain shooting to the top as these guns. I saw these silly women as tea party activists. The article said that “one by one” the women accused Cain, and here I saw that one by one these people (nations/leaders) who had given birth were leaving the stage (the platform) and were descending the hill. The tea party activists (the silly women) thus replaced the people who were on the hill (true of our last election in the US) and they were backed by the men in black with the guns aimed at us – the same guns being used to force resignations (descending the hill) and to get leaders of nations to agree (oath) to this new order (the new babies) with the final name still not revealed.
In the article about Sarkozy and Israel, I saw the conversation between him and Obama as this conversation I was having with someone where I was telling him or her about the vehicles (governments) and people (leaders) descending the hill (kingdoms). The people descending were replaced by tea party activists (the silly women) who were backed by the men in black with their guns aimed at the people.
Going back to the issue of the wrong name, what jumped out at me here of primary significance is that Obama did not object to the characterization of Israel’s PM. That characterization was represented by the photo with the Prussianized army hovering over these “oaths” of new governments in the nations of the world, so this would mean that Israel is synonymous with the activities of what we call the N.W.O. but may not be its final name. It was the right family though, which was both Jewish and German. And, it was the “Big Sis” who was right (she didn’t change) but they just had the wrong final (or last) name for her. This was also my family. I am American by birth and of English, Irish and Welsh ancestry.
What If
What if Israel is the “little horn” of Daniel? What if Israel is the anti-Christ? Who killed Jesus the first time (referencing this passage here in Hebrews about putting Christ to death a second time)? Israel did. What if Iran is not after Israel but Israel is after Iran? What if Christians get behind Israel and support them against Iran and they are really helping the beast to take yet another nation? We already know that the US is in bed with the N.W.O. and that we are the “terrorists” of the world. We know about the false flags and what we are really doing in these other nations, and we know it is coming to the USA, too.
These supposed demonstrations in the capitals of our states and of our nation are symptomatic of the uprisings in these other nations at the hand of the N.W.O. so that they could take them by force, though I believe there were insiders in the governments of many of these nations, too, who stepped aside and allowed them to come through the door, and did not resist them, such as in the case of the U.S. government opening the door to this Tea Party backed by the men in black with the guns. Obama and his team are definitely party to the New World Order (or whatever last name it will go by). And, so are many of the “conservatives” and definitely the Tea Party activists (the silly women). So many Christians are following these Tea Party people, thinking they will bring about good change. They support Israel, and they support what our troops are doing in these other countries, without even knowing what Israel or our troops or the tea party people are really all about. We should never follow men with such blind faith.
To the Word
This passage is a warning against falling away. The last days before the return of Christ will not happen until there has been a falling away. I believe we are seeing much evidence of such a “falling away” in our time. Christians, or professing believers in Jesus, who have known the Lord (or known about him and have been taught the word) for some time should be teachers by now, and yet so many still have not gotten past the elementary teachings, because they have remained infants due to them not developing their relationships with Jesus Christ to spiritual maturity. Ephesians 4 describes these infants as those who are tossed here and there by various teachings and the cunning and craftiness of men who lead people astray by their deceitful scheming.
This dream, in relation to these news articles, is showing us this cunning and craftiness of men in deceitful scheming, yet it is also a sad picture of the spiritual immaturity of Christians who follow whatever they hear or see in the news, or they follow political figures who give out a false image of good (wolves in sheep’s clothing), and/or they believe whatever political propaganda (lies) is told them about our nation, about Israel, and about what is going on with NATO, our troops, and these uprisings in various nations in the world, and these “births” of new governments. Infant Christians in adult bodies are thus not acquainted with the teaching about righteousness, so they are not able to distinguish good from evil. I truly believe that if we are in tune with God, God will reveal to us, his servants, through dreams or whatever means he chooses, the evils of our society. And, he will show us what is going on with our own respective governments, with NATO, with our troops, with these uprisings, with Israel and Iran, etc. We just have to be willing to hear God.
The next section of this passage (chapter 6) is one that is very controversial and difficult to interpret, yet I believe it is supported by so, so many other passages of scripture that talk about the meaning of what it truly means to believe in Jesus Christ. I don’t know how one can fall away from something they never had, yet it is possible this is speaking about those who have been given much knowledge turning their backs on what they were taught, yet that would not explain the part about having shared in the Holy Spirit. We cannot share in the Holy Spirit if we have not made a decision to receive Christ. All through the New Testament we are warned to not take our salvation for granted and that only those who have persevered, have remained faithful to the end, who kept the confidence they had at first, that have obeyed, who have repented of their sins, etc. will be saved.
Then, this passage continues with that theme when it says that we must show the same diligence to the end, in order to make our hope sure. Hm. The diligence it is speaking of here has to do with things that accompany salvation, such as the work we do for the Lord, the love we show him as we help others (other believers) and continue to help them. This is not works-based salvation, and yet salvation is not absent of works, as is clear most certainly throughout the book of James, but actually in the whole of the N.T. If we don’t bear fruit in keeping with repentance, then we don’t show ourselves to be disciples of Christ. If we say we love God but hate our brother, we are liars. If we say we love God and yet we continue in willful sinful lifestyles after we have received the knowledge of the truth, we are liars, according to I John. All throughout the New Testament are “IF” verses which state that we must remain in Christ, we must continue in him, we must have the same devotion to God we had at first, etc. Folks, we cannot take our salvation for granted.
Everything we have, we have been given by God, and we are to give it back to him to be used for his purposes and his glory. We are to offer our whole lives as living sacrifices on his altar, forsaking conformity to the world, and instead making it our goal to live lives pleasing to God, being daily transformed in heart and mind by the mighty working of the Holy Spirit within us in maturing us and in making us holy vessels fit for the Master’s use.
Your Grace Divine / An Original Work / November 6, 2011
All I have is Yours, Lord.
You gave all to me,
When You died at Calv’ry
On that cruel tree.
Crucified for my sins;
You paid what I owe,
So I’d be forgiven;
My God come to know.
All I have is Yours, Lord.
You gave all to me,
When You died at Calv’ry
On that cruel tree.
Lord, I am so thankful
For Your grace divine.
I invited You, Lord,
In this heart of mine.
I have been forgiven
For all of my sins,
So I’d live with Jesus;
His grace flow within.
Lord, I am so thankful
For Your grace divine.
I invited You, Lord,
In this heart of mine.
Growing in Your grace, Lord;
Live for You each day;
How I love to worship
You throughout my day.
Sitting at Your feet, Lord,
List’ning to You speak,
Leads me to love You, Lord,
More throughout the week.
Growing in Your grace, Lord;
Live for You each day;
How I love to worship
You throughout my day.
