DREAM (March 4, 1990) [Reference is made to this dream in GOD'S JUDGMENT ON AMERICA - I, http://www.do-you-love-me.org/wsomers/gjoa-1.html]

A) The peak of the gargantuan solid rock mountain upon which a large group of people and I stood was approximately 30,000 feet high. The air was pure and clean. Incredibly, at that height the temperature was mild, and the breezes were soft and gentle. The people wore western-style clothing. There was not a trace of snow, soil or vegetation on the Rock Mountain. Also, there was no evidence of snow on any of the lower surrounding mountains which ranged in different heights and sizes. They varied in character-light to meager vegetation. We scanned all the lower mountain ranges as we admired a beautiful and spectacular panorama against the horizon. From our vantage view, it appeared to be peaceful throughout the mountains and valleys. The view was breathtaking, even on a gray day.

I could telescopically focus my sight at will. If I wanted a closer look at a certain mountain or a particular valley, I could instantly "zoom" in close to a point of interest regardless of distance, as well as observe people closely. Just as instantly as I could "zoom" my sight, I could also instantly restore it to normal focus. It was as easy as blinking my eyes. I studied everything beneath me, near and far-mountains, valleys, towns, villages, and countless people. However, I was taken back by their "black" complexions. Their skin did not resemble the various shadings of the black complexioned people God created. Uniquely, these people's skin complexion in my dream was the color "black." Yet, they had distinctive facial features and were of various ages. I did not see any light complexioned people in the midst of all the "black" people scattered throughout the mountains and valleys. Interestingly, I also did not see any evidence of water-no ponds, lakes, or seas.

B) After scanning the horizon, I turned to the extreme right and now saw a colossal city with innumerable tall, medium height, and low scale buildings sitting by itself in the midst of a vast, empty wilderness with no evidence of vegetation. I "zoomed" half the distance. The soil was parched red clay. The city stood apart, completely segregated from the rest of the mountains. It was very modern and quite a sight. It had a close resemblance to New York City, yet many times greater in dimension. (It did not bear resemblance to other densely populated cities such as London, Hong Kong, Tokyo, Rio, Sidney, Johannesburg, etc., as cluttered as some were, and others are, with just as many tall and not so tall buildings. I am a former twenty-two year, JFK based, In-Flight Director and Purser (similar to Chief Flight Attendant) with the former Pan American World Airways (Pan Am), and flew extensively throughout the world before retiring in December, 1985. It was easy for me to distinguish large worldwide capital cities of that particular era, namely the '60's, '70's and '80's.) The density of all the buildings of different sizes and heights was awesome. From where I stood, the city seemed to be at an approximate distance of three hundred miles away. I "zoomed" in for a close observation. It was crowded with "black" people and heavy traffic, and it was quite lively and bustling with frenzied activity. Everyone in it was busy with their personal affairs. Life in the city appeared to be thriving at its fullest.

C) After a time of focusing on the bustling city I refocused my sight. Suddenly, there appeared below the angled sheer drop Rock Mountain-adjacent to the right side at the base-a large gathering of "black" people. (If anyone would have attempted to climb up the steep Rock Mountain, it appeared impossible.) I "zoomed" in to do a close observation. They were well dressed in light casual clothing, to the point of "immaculate" in overall appearance. I "zoomed" in very close, darting throughout the crowd to about three feet in front of randomly selected faces. Every hair was in place, and their skins were smooth and totally free of wrinkles-mannequin-like. This particular group ranged in different heights, sizes and ages. They stood along the edge of a lake watching those in line get baptized. Everyone faced left. It was a peaceful gathering with joyful music in their midst. They were singing a lively spiritual song, which I recognized. I wanted to join them in their singing as I watched and listened. (I could clearly hear the music from that great height as well as every word they sang.)

D) After observing the baptismal ceremony for a while, I glanced up at the sky and noticed that it was beginning to grow dark. I then glanced down at the water baptismal ceremony again, and as I watched its continuation, I raised my hands to my now unexplained wet lathered head. I began to work the lather throughout my hair as I turned around, leaving the group outdoors while approaching an entrance into the mountain. I approached two large thick glass panel doors without frames which automatically swung open inwards. I glanced at the walls and noticed that the glass doors were anchored into the rock walls with large steel hinges. The walls were solid gray rock. (I am not referring to "stone" walls.) All the while, I continued working the lather in my hair as I entered a large, brilliant, cloud-like, lighted entrance. The high brilliant light was quite dramatic indoors as the sky outside was growing dark.

As I entered the mountain, I turned right and walked down a wide rock corridor. I approached three slender steel pipes in the corridor that protruded approximately three feet from the right rock wall at an approximate height of seven feet. There were several feet of separation between each pipe. The pipes were arched, curving downward. The overhead openness seemed much lower in the corridor, bringing the brilliant, cloud-like, light down to just a few feet above the pipes. As I approached them, they began spraying water like showerheads. I walked under them and thoroughly rinsed the lather out of my hair while getting drenched. I did not towel dry as I instantly found myself standing outside the mountain again. The group I had previously left outdoors was no longer there.

The sky had become very dark. Threatening clouds had formed, churning slowly. (The sky in the parting of the Red Sea in the movie, "The Ten Commandments," comes close in resemblance to this sky.) I glanced at the horizon from left to right, and noticed that slow black twisters had formed and begun to descend upon the earth. Many twisters resembled black mammoth billowing smoke, such as that of an oil fire explosion, throughout the whole sky. (Similar to the twisters were the scenes of all the burning oil wells in Iraq as the Gulf War, "Desert Storm," ended.) However, they appeared to be suspended midway as they continued swirling while hovering above the mountains throughout the vast expanse of earth. Some twisters were close in proximity to the Rock Mountain, others were further away, and still others were far, far away. I continued to scan the scenery as I observed this awesome, powerful and fearful sight.

E) To my horror, I now saw a calamity taking place in the city. A colossal black twister had touched down on the city! I instantly "zoomed" in half the distance and continued to watch as THE BLACK TWISTER TURNED INTO A MONSTROUS RIGHT ARM AND HAND and began to ravage the city. Slowly, slowly-to and fro; slowly, slowly-side to side. It was a bizarre sight to behold, and its immensity was unbelievable. I "zoomed" in closer to the city. Buildings were being blown away. Many enormous objects were flying in the air as one can imagine during a tornado's destructive strike. It was a horrendous sight of incredible magnitude! Slowly, slowly- to and fro; slowly, slowly-side to side. The hand was closed like a fist, and the second and third fingers operated thusly: first, both fingers "walked" forward, and then "walked" backward several times. Then the hand would change direction and slide-one finger at a time-several times sideways to the right, and then several times sideways to the left. All directional movements covered the entire scope of the city. The destructive arm and hand did not change pace. Slowly, slowly-to and fro; slowly, slowly-side to side. It moved carefully and methodically. The immense sight of destruction and flying debris was indescribable. I refocused my sight as I wondered about the people.

F) By now, it was almost nighttime. The volume of churning clouds increased. I strongly discerned that something even more horrendous was about to occur. The hovering twisters continued to increase to greater sizes and widths. They no longer hovered in suspension, but began to descend slowly, almost touching earth. As fear began to build up within me, I looked at the horizon ahead once again to continue my observation, and continued turning to the left, and then ahead again. I looked down at all the lower mountains and instantly "zoomed" in to see "waves" and "waves"-a sea of humanity-running throughout all the mountains! They resembled an ocean of bobbing waves. Countless multitudes were also racing throughout the valleys . By now it was nighttime. (I am overwhelmed at the ability I had to clearly and distinctly see every detail clearly in this dream as it grew dark, and then it became nighttime.) I "zoomed" in close and was able to keenly distinguish and carefully observe all the multitudes of multi-ethnic people in the dark. They were dressed in many different styles of clothing. All the people were "black." In the midst of the frantic and desperate people, I "zoomed" in even closer to see many other "black" people wearing heavily soiled white robes. They were also scattered throughout all the mountains and valleys. Incredibly, all of humanity ran towards the Rock Mountain I stood upon! They ran with great fear and in a wild panic as destruction was about to fall upon all of them. I now became gripped with great fear, adjusted my sight, and turned away from the approaching chaos and calamity that was about to take place throughout all the mountains and valleys below. I fled toward the glass doors that had swung open for me once again and quickly ran inside the Rock Mountain.

G) Within the mountain was a mammoth cavern. It was illuminated by a brilliant, cloud-like, light that hovered over us-approximately fifty feel high-through an open ceiling. I found myself in the midst of an immense assembly of light complexioned people. (Without "zooming," I was able to observe that there were no "black" people inside the cavern.) Everyone wore casual western-style clothing. They seemed bewildered, and were wondering what to do. They were aware that something frightening was taking place outside the mountain. They mingled together in couples, small groups and large groups while appearing nervous, but not fearful. Many stood talking among themselves while others wandered about aimlessly, doing nothing. No one motivated them, or exercised leadership over them. I recognized a lady friend and called out to her, asking her to help me assemble the people for prayer. She yelled back in agreement. Next, I found myself lifting up my head high and crying out, as loud as I could, for order in the mammoth cavern, and then proceeded to instruct the people to unite in prayer. (I cannot explain, but somehow my voice carried throughout the cavern although I did not hear an echo sound.) Everyone immediately hushed. There were many children huddled together in groups. It seemed that both men and women were their guides or group leaders. We formed many, many circles throughout the cavern and held hands. I began to yell out loud at the top of my voice in desperation and with great urgency, "Have mercy, O God, have mercy!" Everyone immediately joined in the same cry. We became anguished as we desperately pleaded before God for His mercy to all those people outside the mountain, somehow understanding that by now great destruction was taking place.

"Have mercy, O God, have mercy! Have mercy, O God, have mercy!"

H) Our fervency increased mightily as we prayed unceasingly through desperate intercession. We prayed at great length, totally unaware of time. Our anguished cries continued without end. After a great and lengthy time of endless cries for mercy, we finally ended praying. By now, we were extremely tired and grieved. "O God-Lord Jesus! Our unsaved loved ones! The backslidden Church! Those in search of the Truth! The pain, the pain, the pain in our hearts! O God-Lord Jesus, SAVE SOULS!"

I had been holding a man's hand to my right. As we stopped praying, he did a very strange thing. He abruptly yanked his hand away from mine in a manner that seemed to express that he was upset with me as he glared harshly at me. (Had I been holding his hand too tight?) He had short, black wavy hair, a black moustache, portly in weight, approximately 5'5" in height, and appeared to be about thirty years old. He wore a white shirt with sleeves rolled up to his elbows and dark trousers. I was taken back by his demeanor toward me at such a time as this, and without either one of us saying a word, I walked away from his harsh glare towards a small window in the rock wall. At the same time, what continued to be awesome was the brilliant, cloud-like, light hovering overhead. Yet, as bright as the light was, it did not bother our sight. Neither I nor anyone squinted or used our hands to shade our eyes. The light was comforting. (Words fail to further describe this incredible lighting experience inside the Rock Mountain.)

I) I arrived at, and stood before, a closed white veiled window. Interestingly, however, as bright as it was inside, the light dimmed overhead by the window as I lifted the veil to look outside at total darkness. Incredibly, I was able to distinguish black, dense, floating dust particles in the outside atmosphere. With my face pressed against the glass pane, I strained my sight to see through the floating particles, peering as intently as I could to get a glimpse of anything in the dark. I continued to peer intensely through the glass pane, and after a while I finally saw a weak hint of the sun barely shining through the black floating particles. I persisted in peering through the window, trying to catch a glimpse of anything, but to no avail. When I would look up and peer hard enough, I would catch a very faint glimpse of the sun but nothing else. I continued like this for some time, and then withdrew my face from the glass pane while continuing to gaze at all the floating particles in the dark atmosphere. I was completely bewildered as to what had actually taken place outside the mountain. I stood alone at the window for a very long time wondering as I continued to stare at "nothingness" through the window. I thought to myself, "What happened out there? What about all those people? What are all those dusty particles out there in the atmosphere? What happened?" I finally gave up wondering and questioning as I let the veil down, and walked away from the window into the midst of the people who were now restless and quite active. Some of them rushed to and fro throughout the cavern. There were no benches or chairs in sight, nor any other objects except people, people, people throughout the entire mammoth cavern.

J) As I stood observing the vast assembly of people, it suddenly occurred to me, "What are we going to eat? From where are we going to get food?" I was at a loss for an answer and did not know what to do next. I became quite concerned for the people, and then spoke out loud, "Lord, what are we going to eat? We need food!" JUSSST as I uttered those last few words, (Fasten your seat belt!), there instantly appeared an ENORRRMOUS MOUND OF FOOD on the ground before me. (Gasp! Lord, Jesus!!!) It absolutely took my breath away. There was every kind of imaginable food piled up to approximately eight feet high, and six feet round at the base. The food was not packaged, nor was it arranged on platters or plates. It was, however, neatly arranged-each assortment on top of each other-giving the appearance of an enormous "smorgasbord." There were so many, many different kinds of foods which were absolutely appetizing! (It was THE MOSSST incredible sight to behold!)

As I stood before the food mound, a slender man, 5'8" in height, light brown hair, approximately forty-five years old, wearing a white shirt with rolled up sleeves and tan colored trousers, approached the food mound. He slowly walked around it, carefully reviewing all the appetizing choices. (One would have thought that he was actually at one of those now extinct Horn & Hardt Food Automats!) Suddenly, he turned and came close to me and asked for the return of his comb. I was completely dumbfounded, and replied, "What comb?" How could he ask me for the return of his comb at such a time as this?! And just when did I actually borrow his comb? To summarize:

* we had just gone through a time of anguished prayerful cries to God for His mercy to the perishing world outside the mountain;

* we were all aware that a horrible event had taken place outside the mountain;

* we were wondering about, and waiting for the next event;

* food had become a great concern for the people;

* THENNN, an enormous mound of food suddenly appears on the ground,

and he was concerned about his comb! I suppose I became exasperated because he just happened to be my husband. He remained standing before me, waiting for my answer while I stared at him totally speechless. After a long moment of silence, he looked down at the ground and exclaimed, "Oh, here's my comb!" He bent down, picked up a small dark pocket comb and stuck it into his back pocket. As he began to turn away from me, a plate suddenly materialized in his left hand. He once again focused on the food, and nonchalantly walked around the mound, casually reaching out with his right hand to serve himself with several choices from different locations in the mound. There were no serving utensils in sight. Then he walked toward a table and chair which suddenly appeared at the right about twenty feet away from the food mound. He set his plate down on the table, pulled the chair out, and sat down. By now, people had excitedly begun approaching the food mound, but my attention was now focused on my husband. I turned away from the food, walked over to the table and stood at his right side as I glanced down at his appetizing food choices while noticing that there were no eating utensils on the table. I was beginning to wonder how he was going to eat his food as the dream ended.

(NOTE: This is an allegorical dream which is to be understood in a spiritual sense. Webster's Dictionary describes the word "allegorical" as a story with a meaning other than the literal one; a description of one thing under the image of another. -- Scripture references are quoted from the NKJV Bible. Reading the following interpretation with a Bible in hand is recommended for greater understanding, as the numerous referenced scriptures further aid the interpretative value of the dream.)

INTERPRETATION

A) The central focus in this dream is the Rock Mountain-the Lord Jesus Christ. . . . and that Rock was Christ. (1 Cor. 10:4; Ps. 18:2,31,46) [Dan. 2:26-35. Take note in vs. 35 that the "stone" is the mountain-The Rock Mountain-that fills the whole earth.] (Ps. 31:3) The light complexioned people standing on top of the mountain represented a few members of the Body of Christ. While we were delighting in God's creation, I was being prepared to "foresee in the Spirit." The mountains characterize kingdoms (nations) and the valleys, populations.

B) The city I saw in this dream characterizes America-an immense modern kingdom. Rather than exhibit her as just another mountain, America is portrayed as distinctive in greatness, prosperity, success, and fast paced activity for which she is distinguished-a queen among kingdoms. However, she sits in the wilderness. She lacks spiritual purpose in the midst of all her priorities. God is no longer the Lord of this nation which is clearly void of any spiritual identity as evidenced by the lack of water (spirituality) or vegetation (spiritual fruit). She no longer trusts in God. Instead, she now trusts in mammon (money) as her God. (Mat. 6:24) [Isa. 2:2; Ps. 113:4-6]

C) The large gathering of "black" people at the base of the Rock Mountain represents the "religious church." Their obvious position is outside the Rock-not in Christ. Positioned at the right side of the mountain discloses where they believed they belonged-the appointed standing of sheep. Everyone looking to the left reveals where their heart focus is-on the world-the appointed standing of goats. (Mat. 25:32,33) Outwardly, they are "perfect" (religious) in appearance. Their immaculate dress (outward adornment) is meant to reveal a flawless religious lifestyle. However, their "black" appearance clearly reveals the condition of their hearts. They are totally separated from God because of sin. They have no heart relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ. The gospel of Jesus has not been preached or taught to many of them. Still, others have been fed God-doctrine blended with man-doctrine. They understand with the mind-not with the heart. They have not heard the Truth, but have instead been inoculated with traditions and theology. They do not know that their parents' religions, their own good works, ceremonies or rituals will not save them. These people are misled, deceived and deprived of knowing about the gift of eternal life through Jesus Christ-the Son of God. They do not know that Jesus died on the cross at Calvary for them, and shed His Blood to cleanse them from their sins. Also, many others who proclaim to be born again believers have chosen to lead lives of hypocrisy while willfully living in sin and worldly pleasures. They are living in disobedience to the Lord, Jesus. (1 Cor. 3:1-3; Chaps. 5 & 6) They choose to compromise their faith with worldly standards, thereby crucifying Christ anew. (Heb. 6:4-6; Jas. 4:4) Can two walk together, unless they are agreed? (Amos 3:3; 2 Cor. 6:17,18; 2 Pet. 2:20-22) They are neglecting the Word (the Bible), prayer, their salvation, repentance, faithfulness and humility of heart before the Lord, as well as continuous cleansing of their sins by the Blood of the Lamb. They are NOT working out their salvation with fear and trembling. (Phil. 2:12)

All of the above are portrayed playing church, not discerning the times, and the approaching judgment and wrath of God. At the Great White Throne Judgment (Rev. 20:11-15), the greater condemnation will fall upon many of those who held positions of responsibility for preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ to lost souls, yet they themselves never knew Jesus as Savior and Lord. They never preached Christ-the sacrificial Lamb of God-crucified at Calvary for the sins of the world, and His precious shed Blood that cleanses all sin. Others preached what the masses wanted to hear: sugar-coated, feel good, soothing words. They did not preach on sin and accountability as Jesus did, and did not lead souls to Christ. Much blood will be on their hands. "Many will say to me in that day, 'Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? and then I will profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity (sin, lies, evil; deceptions; immorality)." (Mat. 7:22,23-KJV) [2 Cor. 11:4,13-15]

D) My "lathered" head describes cleansing by the Word to purge worldly and mental distractions so as to "spiritually foresee" the Holy Spirit's revelation of God's imminent judgment/s. Drenched by water describes the Holy Spirit's anointing. My sudden return outside the mountain to behold God's judgment and what was about to befall America, and the world, is for the purpose of declaring to the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ that they are to make preparation in their hearts to be hid in the Rock, thereby avoiding the emerging wrath of God. The dark fearful looking sky is a warning sign of God's anger. The hovering twisters above the mountains are the approaching judgment and wrath of God upon the nations. Their descent occurs AFTER God's hand almost lays America to waste. These woeful and distressing scenes give the appearance of a sequence of events that will take place in that order.
 

For thus has the Lord said . . .: "Go, set a watchman, let him declare what he sees." . . . "Babylon (America) is fallen, is fallen! And all the carved images (her material idols) of her gods He has broken (brought to nothing) to the ground." (Isa. 21:6,9) [Amos 4:13]


E) The monstrous arm and hand which touched down on the city represents the power and sovereignty of God. (Isa. 40:10) The destruction taking place is God's judgment in motion-tearing down and breaking apart. (Notice His Hand-His power-at work.) We all can see the weather and environmental phenomena increasing at an alarming rate, bringing about increasing devastation and destruction throughout much of America as evidenced by all the current disasters taking place here and throughout the earth. Yet, this is just the beginning of bigger things to come. God will release His wrath on America through a sudden nuclear attack by foreign enemies which will cripple her severely. His judgment and wrath come upon her for mocking and rejecting Him, His commandments, and His Word. Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; . . . (Gal. 6:7) (See GOD'S JUDGMENT ON AMERICA - I, http://www.do-you-love-me.org/wsomers/gjoa-1.html) She has abandoned herself to sin, pride, vanity, corruption, immorality (sensual pleasures), homosexuality, abomination, depravity, racism, adult and child pornography, and committing infanticide through legalized abortion-the murdering of innocent unborn and partial born babies-while delightfully lapping in the cesspool of decadence because of her power, pride, and prosperity. Her spiritual climate is parched dry, and her iniquity abounds. Yes, GOD WILL BE JUSTIFIED for painfully judging America. Her disobedience and rebellion against Him are now deeply rooted in her soul. Hate and rejection of a Holy God and His Word, blasphemy of His Holy Name, apostasy, paganism, New Age culture and practices, idolatry, witchcraft and Satanism are destroying what little polluted breath she has left. America has become dull of hearing, and her zeal for God and His glory has departed from her as she frolics in pride and boisterous self-glory. Yet in spite of her harlotry, and BECAUSE of God's righteousness, faithfulness to His Word, His love for America, and honor to those who sacrificed their lives for this nation for God's glory, He will preserve her for HIS glory, and NOT because she merits His love, mercy and grace-His unmerited favor. (See GOD'S JUDGMENT ON AMERICA - II, http://www.do-you-love-me.org/wsomers/gjoa-2.html)

SOVEREIGN DECLARATION

"I said, 'Here I am, here I am,' to a nation that was (no longer) called by My name. I have stretched out My hands (opened arms) all day long to a rebellious people, who walk in a way that is not good, according to their own thoughts; a people who provoke Me to anger continually to My face . . ." (Isa. 65:1- 3) -- (In other words, "IN YOUR FACE, GOD!") --"But you are those who forsake the Lord, who forget My holy mountain, . . . Therefore I will number you for the sword, and you shall all bow down to the slaughter; because when I called, you did not answer; when I spoke, you did not hear, but did evil before My eyes, and chose that in which I do not delight." (Isa. 65:11,12)

"Behold, I am against you," says the Lord of hosts; "I will lift your skirts over your face, I will show the nations your nakedness, and the kingdoms your shame. I will cast abominable filth upon you, make you vile (wretched), and make you a spectacle." (Nahum 3:5,6)

"Your nakedness shall be uncovered, yes, your shame will be seen; I will take vengeance, and I will not arbitrate (adjust differences) with a man. . . . Sit in silence, and go into darkness . . . for you shall no longer be called the Lady of Kingdoms. . . .Therefore hear this now, you who are given to pleasures, who dwell securely, who say in your heart, 'I am, and there is no one else besides me; I shall not sit as a widow, nor shall I know the loss of children'; but these two things shall come to you in a moment, in one day: the loss of children, and widowhood. They shall come upon you in their fullness because of the multitude of your sorceries (occult practices), for the great abundance of your enchantments (seductions and alluring compromises). For you have trusted in your wickedness; you have said, 'No one sees me'; your wisdom and your knowledge have warped you (led you astray); and you have said in your heart, 'I am, and there is no one else besides me.' Therefore evil shall come upon you; you shall not know from where it arises. And trouble shall fall upon you; you will not be able to put it off (atone for it). And desolation shall come upon you suddenly, which you shall not know. . . .You are wearied (consumed with over-achievement) in the multitude of your counsels; let now the astrologers, the stargazers, and the monthly prognosticators (psychics and forecasters) stand up and save you from these things that shall come upon you." (Isa. 47:3,5,8-11,13)

The look on their countenance witnesses against them, and they declare their sin as Sodom (sodomy-homosexuality); they do not hide it. Woe to their soul! For they have brought evil upon themselves. . . . And so it shall be: instead of a sweet smell there will be a stench; instead of a sash, a rope; instead of well-set hair, baldness; instead of a rich robe, a girding of sackcloth; and branding instead of beauty. Your men shall fall by the sword, and your mighty in the war. Her gates (shores) shall lament and mourn, and she being desolate shall sit on the ground (be brought down to nothing). (Isa. 3:9,24-26)

"And Babylon (America), the glory of kingdoms, . . . will be (corrupt and depraved) as when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah." (Isa. 13:19)

Therefore thus says the Lord: "Behold, I will surely bring calamity on them which they will not be able to escape; and though they cry out to Me, I will not listen to them." (Jer. 11:11)

Then they will cry to the Lord, but He will not hear them; He will even hide His face from them at that time, because they have been evil in their deeds. (Micah 3:4)

Who knows the power of Your anger? For as the fear of You, so is Your wrath. (Ps. 90:11)

It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God. (Heb. 10:31)

WEEPING AND WAILING Then one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls came and talked with me, saying to me, "Come, I will show you the judgment of the great harlot (America) who sits on many waters (Atlantic Ocean, Pacific Ocean and the Gulf of Mexico), with whom the kings of the earth committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth were made drunk with the wine of her fornication." (Rev. 17:1,2)

After these things I saw another angel coming down from heaven, having great authority, and the earth was illuminated with his glory. And he cried mightily with a loud voice, saying, "Babylon (America) the great is fallen, is fallen, and has become a habitation of demons, a prison for every foul spirit, . . . For all the nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth have become rich through the abundance of her luxury." And I heard another voice from heaven saying, "Come out of her, my people, lest you share in her sins, and lest you receive of her plagues. For her sins have reached to heaven, and God has remembered her iniquities.

"Render to her just as she rendered to you, and repay her double according to her works; in the cup which she has mixed, mix for her double. In the measure that she glorified herself and lived luxuriously, in the same measure give her torment and sorrow, for she says in her heart, 'I sit as queen, and am no widow, and will not see sorrow.' Therefore her plagues will come in one day-death and mourning and famine. And she will be utterly burned with fire, for strong is the Lord God who judges her. And the kings of the earth who committed fornication and lived luxuriously with her will weep and lament for her, when they see the smoke of her burning, standing at a distance for fear of her torment, saying 'Alas, alas, that great city Babylon, that mighty city! For in one hour your judgment has come.' . . . And the fruit that your soul longed for has gone from you, and all the things which are rich and splendid have gone from you, and you shall find them no more at all. The merchants of these things, who became rich by her, will stand at a distance for fear of her torment, weeping and wailing, and saying, 'Alas, alas, that great city that was clothed in fine linen, . . . and adorned with gold and precious stones and pearls! For in one hour such great riches came to nothing.' And every shipmaster, all who travel by ship, sailors, and as many as trade on the sea, stood at a distance and cried out when they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, 'What is like this great city?' And they threw dust on their heads and cried out, weeping and wailing, and saying, 'Alas, alas, that great city, in which all who had ships on the sea became rich by her wealth! For in one hour she is made desolate (has been laid waste).'" (Rev. 18:1-10,14-19)

(NOTE: Babylon (America) is singled out. A nuclear strike throughout the country would not take more than an hour.)

LAMENTATION

How lonely sits (America) the city that was full of people! How like a widow is she, who was great among the nations! . . . She weeps bitterly in the night, her tears are on her cheeks; . . . All her friends have dealt treacherously with her; they have become her enemies. . . . Her adversaries have become the master, her enemies prosper; for the Lord has afflicted her because of the multitude of her transgressions. . . . all her splendor has departed. . . . In the days of her affliction and roaming, (she) remembers all her pleasant things that she had in the days of old. When her people fell into the hand of the enemy, with no one to help her, the adversaries saw her and mocked at her downfall. (She) has sinned grievously, therefore she has become vile. . . . Her uncleanness is in her skirts; she did not consider her (spiritual) destiny; therefore her collapse was awesome; she had no comforter. "O Lord, behold my affliction, for the enemy has magnified himself!" All her people sigh, they seek bread; they have given their valuables for food to restore life. "See, O Lord, and consider, for I am scorned."

"Is it nothing to you, all you who pass by? Behold and see if there is any sorrow like my sorrow, which has been brought on me, which the Lord has inflicted on me in the day of His fierce anger. From above He has sent fire (a nuclear strike?) into my bones, and it overpowered them; He has spread a net for my feet and turned me back; He has made me desolate and faint all the day. The yoke of my transgressions (sins) was bound; they were woven together by His hands, and thrust upon my neck. He made my strength fail; the Lord delivered me into the hands of those whom I am not able to withstand. The Lord has trampled underfoot all my mighty men in my midst; He has called an assembly against me to crush my young men; . . . For these things I weep; my eye, my eye overflows with water (tears), because the comforter (God), who should restore my life, is far from me. My children are desolate because the enemy prevailed.". . .

"The Lord is righteous, for I rebelled against His commandment. Hear now, all peoples, and behold my sorrow; . . . See, O Lord, that I am in distress; my soul is troubled; my heart is overturned within me, for I have been very rebellious. . . . They have heard that I sigh, with no one to comfort me. All my enemies have heard of my trouble; they are glad that You have done it. Bring on the day that You have announced (proclaimed), that they may become like me. Let all their wickedness come before You, and do to them as You have done to me for all my transgressions; for my sighs are many, and my heart is faint." (Lam. 1:1,2,5-9,11-16,18,20-22)

All your enemies have opened their mouth against you; they hiss and gnash (grind ) their teeth. They say, "We have swallowed her up! Surely this is the day we have waited for; we have found it, we have seen it." . . . Arise (America), cry out in the night, . . . pour out your heart like water before the face of the Lord. Lift your hands toward Him for the life of your young children, who faint from hunger at the head of every street. "See, O Lord, and consider! To whom have You done this? . . . Young and old lie on the ground in the streets; . . . You have slain them in the day of Your anger, You have slaughtered and not pitied. You have invited as to a feast day the terrors that surround me. In the day of the Lord's anger there was no refugee or survivor. Those whom I have borne and brought up my enemies have destroyed." (Lam. 2:16,19-22)

Your country is desolate, your cities are burned with fire; strangers devour your land in your presence; and it is desolate, as overthrown by strangers. . . . Unless the Lord of hosts had left to us a very small remnant (The Church of Jesus Christ of Nazareth), we would have become like Sodom, we would have been made like Gomorrah (completely destroyed). (Isa. 1:7,9)

DIVINE JUSTIFICATION "Shall the one who contends with the Almighty correct Him? He who rebukes God, let him answer it. . . Would you indeed annul My judgment? Would you condemn Me that you may be justified? Have you an arm (power) like God?" (Job 40:2,8,9)

"Who then is able to stand against Me?. . . Everything under heaven is Mine." (Job. 41:10,11)

[For one of God's most powerful dialogs with man, read Job, Chapters 38-42:6]If He takes away, who can hinder Him? Who can say to Him, "What are You doing?" God will not withdraw His anger, . . . (Job 9:12,13)

For His dominion is an everlasting dominion, and His kingdom is from generation to generation. All the inhabitants of the earth are reputed as nothing; He does according to His will in the army of heaven and among the inhabitants of the earth. No one can restrain His hand or say to Him, "What have You done?" (Dan. 4:34,35)O Lord, I have heard your speech . . . in wrath remember mercy. (Hab. 3:2)
 

REPENTANCE PRECEDES MERCY  
Through the Lord's mercies we are not consumed, because His compassions fail not. They are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness. "The Lord is my portion," says my soul, "therefore I hope in Him!" The Lord is good to those who wait for Him, to the soul who seeks Him. It is good that one should hope and wait quietly for the salvation of the Lord. . . . Let him sit alone and keep silent (meditate), because God has laid it on him; let him put his mouth in the dust (prostrate and humble himself)-there may yet be hope. . . . For the Lord will not cast off forever. Though He causes grief, yet He will show compassion according to the multitude of His mercies. . . . Let us search out and examine our ways, and turn back to the Lord; let us lift our hearts and hands to God in heaven. We have transgressed and rebelled; You have not pardoned. You have covered Yourself with anger and pursued us; You have slain and not pitied. (Lam. 3:22-26,28,29,31,32,40-43) [Ps. 86:5; Ps. 139:5,7,8; Amos 5:16-18,20; Deut. 32:28-41; Isa. 5:18,20-25; Isa. 13:6-10; Isa. 57:15-21; Isa. 59:1-4,7-13; Isa. 66:2; Jer. 3:12,13; Jer. 4:26; Jer. 7:19,20,28; Jer. 8:13; Jer. 9:3; Jer. 9:12-14,22-24; Jer. 11:11; Jer. 16:21; Jer. 21:5; Jer. 24:10; Joel 2:12,13; 2 Pet. 2:6,9; Rom. 7:23]
I AM GOD 1 "I am the Lord, that is My name; and My glory will I not give to another nor My praise to graven images.
2 I, even I, am the Lord, and besides Me there is no savior.
3 Look to Me and be saved . . . for I am God, and there is no other.
4 I, the Lord, am the first; and with the last I am He.
5 And I will not give My glory to another.
6 Have you not known? Have you not heard? The everlasting God, the Lord, the Creator of the ends of the earth, neither faints nor is weary.
7 I have made the earth, and created man on it. It was I-My hands that stretched out the heavens, and all their host I have commanded.
8 For I am God, and there is no other.
9 To whom will you liken Me, and make Me equal, and compare Me that we should be alike?
10 I am the Lord, and there is no other; there is no God besides Me.
11 Before Me there was no God formed, nor shall there be after Me.
12 I am the Lord, and there is no other.
13 To whom then will you liken Me, or to whom shall I be equal?
14 Is there a God besides Me? Indeed there is no other Rock: I know not one.
15 I am God, and there is none like Me.
16 I am the First and I am the Last; besides Me there is no God."
17 -For the mouth of the Lord has spoken.
(Isaiah: 1) 42:8; 2) 43:11; 3) 45:22; 4) 41:4; 5) 48:11; 6) 40:28; 7) 45:12; 8) 46:9; 9) 46:5; 10) 45:5; 11) 43:10; 12) 45:18; 13) 40:25; 14) 44:8; 15) 46:9; 16) 44:6; 17) 40:5)
F) The sea of "black" humanity outside the mountain running throughout mountains and valleys represents the lost world. (Joel 3:14,15) Sin separates them from God. After they witness the downfall of America, God's wrath then comes upon them. They panic and seek after God too late as evidenced by their running toward the Rock Mountain, God's refuge from judgment and wrath-His Son, Jesus Christ, the Rock. The scattered heavily soiled white robed "black" people are backsliders and apostates. They will all be shut out together as in the days of Noah when the forty days' rain began to fall. However, miraculously, by God's grace, this time there will be survivors after His judgments and wrath. (NOTE: For the non-Christian reader's understanding: it is NOT the end of the world-just the end of the sinful era/age that began when Adam and Eve sinned in the Garden of Eden. (Genesis, Chap. 3; Rom. 5:12-21) Otherwise, why the Second Coming of Christ to rule and reign for a thousand years? Rule and reign over what? An empty planet? No, but to restore God's kingdom on earth, His righteousness and His peace, as well as to rule and reign over those nations that survived the judgments and wrath of God. Read and study the Book of Revelation in the Bible-preferably with an annotated Bible that has comments and notes. See also Zechariah, Chap. 14. It describes the final siege of Jerusalem in the end time, the Second Coming of the Messiah and the Kingdom of the Messiah. Study verses 16-18.) To whom shall I speak and give warning, that they may hear? Indeed their ear is uncircumcised (hearing and understanding is polluted) and they cannot give heed (pay attention). Behold, the word of the Lord is a reproach (offense) to them; they have no delight in it. Therefore I am full of the fury of the Lord. I am weary of holding it in. . . . Thus says the Lord: "Stand in the ways and see, and ask for the old paths, where the good (righteous) way is, and walk in it; then you will find rest for your souls. But they said, 'We will not walk in it.' Also, I set watchmen (prophets) over you, saying, 'Listen to the sound of the trumpet (warning)!' But they said, 'We will not listen.' Therefore hear, you nations, and know, O congregation, what is among them. Hear, O earth! Behold, I will certainly bring calamity on this people, even the fruit of their thoughts, because they have not heeded My words, nor My law (commandments), but rejected it." (Jer. 6:10,11,16-19) [Ps. 33:8,10; Ps. 46:10; Ps. 76:7; Ps. 96:9,10,13; Deut. 32:22-24 Ezek. 7:5-19,25-27; Hab. 1:5; Isa. 2:2-4,12,14,17-21; Isa. 5:14-16; Isa. 13:4-10; Isa. 17:12,13; Isa. 55:6-9; Jer. 3:23,25; Jer. 12:12; Jer. 30:23,24; Joel 2:1,2; Joel 2:10,11,30; Joel 3:14,15; Micah 5:10-15; 7:16-18; Nahum 1:2,3,5-7; Zeph. 1:14-18; 2:1-3; Rev. 6:12-17; Rev. 21:8] G) The brilliant, cloud-like, light inside the mountain represents the Lord Jesus Christ-The Light. "I am the light of the world." (John 8:12) All the light complexioned people in the cavern are members of the Body of Christ -the Children of Light-who will witness and testify Christ. Many of them will preach His gospel to survivors of the wrath of God, as well as bring comfort to them. How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him who brings good news, who proclaims peace, who brings glad tidings of good things, who proclaims salvation . . . (Isa.52:7; Rom. 10:14-18) For the eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show Himself strong on behalf of those whose heart is loyal to Him. (2 Chr. 16:9) [Ps. 27:1; Ps. 68:20; Ps. 71:3; Ps. 111:9,10; Isa. 2:10; Isa. 25:6-10; Isa. 26:3,4,7-9,20,21; Isa. 56:1,2 Joel 3:9; Hab. 1:12,13; Romans Chapter Eight] H) Our coming together in prayer and interceding for the perishing world outside the mountain is what the Church's mandate (call) will be at this juncture in her history. The Church is the salt of the earth whose presence and intercessory prayers prevent total destruction of America and preserves her for God's glory. "You are the salt of the earth." (Mat. 5:13) [2 Chr. 7:14]

"Even them I will bring to My holy mountain, and make them joyful in My house of prayer. . . . For My house shall be called a house of prayer for all nations." (Isa. 56:7)

I) The black, dense, floating atmospheric dust particles outside the mountain suggests that some environmental disaster has occurred. Not being an expert, I would guess that some kind of major upheaval or explosion (nuclear?) took place. Although I beheld America's judgment occurring at the time, I cannot say for certain that whatever happened outside the mountain was a follow-up to her judgment. (Looking out and peering through the veiled window is deeply impressed within my spirit. I can only suspect that the horrendous event in this dream was of an enormous magnitude. Again, I emphasize that destruction was taking place in the city (America) BEFORE the rest of the twisters had touched down on all the other mountains-before they too suffered the wrath of God.) However, this environmental disaster could very well be God's wrath (nuclear strike) upon America, and as evidenced in this dream, the Church was hidden in the Rock and shielded from God's wrath before it occurred. . . . we shall be saved from wrath through Him. (Rom. 5:9) We will be isolated and shielded until such time as we are released to go out and minister hope and salvation-Jesus, the Word-to survivors throughout the country, especially to those surviving backslidden Christians which the Lord will not abandon. I believe that each one of us will be miraculously protected from radiation fallout-a similar experience to Dan. 3:24-27. Jesus is our hope of glory (Col. 1:27) and our victory over the sting of death and the grave. (1 Cor. 15:55) . . . Christ who is our life . . . (Col. 3:4) [Ps. 46:1-3,8-10; Jer. 32:17,27; Jer. 32:19; Dan. 3:8-30]

J) No interpretation is needed for the food mound. God will provide all our needs. God is faithful.

"Therefore do not worry, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?' . . . For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble." (Mat 6:31-34)

". . . ask and it shall be given to you . . . " (Mat. 7:7) [Ps. 33:18,19; Ps. 34:8-10; Ps. 111:5; Phil. 4:19]

(After having dreamt this dream in 1990, the Holy Spirit prompted me to record it and file it away. I did not receive its interpretation until recently. Nine years later this dream is as vivid as if I had just dreamt it last night. Throughout my Scripture research to confirm this dream, I became filled with deep sorrow and distress for perverse and insubordinate America and her imminent downfall. There are strong moments when I want to weep and mourn for her. The burden increases. The rest of the Church throughout the world will follow shortly thereafter in weeping and mourning for their families, the backslidden Church and their homelands as well. The Book of Revelation is about to unfold, and the Church is entering into a bitter-sweet time. Saints of God in America, I exhort you to devote yourselves to prayer NOW for your families, the Church-at-large, and for our country. Search your hearts, repent, pray and be prepared.) "Now when these things begin to happen, look up and lift up your heads, because your redemption draws near." (Luke 21:28)
