Woman Gives Birth, Illegal Prescriptions, Ice Storm, Late Fruit

9/14/15 (People are watching for the new moon tonight in Israel to declare Yom Teruah)

I had a dream last night of being in a hospital when a massive ice storm hit. I helped a woman give birth. She told me she needed four prescriptions I needed to locate for her. She told me their names, but she also said that they were illegal, and I should not write them down. Then she told me that one was too dangerous; don't get that one. I went outside, and it was dark outside. Ice covered everything!!!! People were huddled under trees that were also completely frozen as if they provided some shelter. Oddly, most of them had put food orders on a ticket (like a diner ticket) and attached various amounts of money to it. They stuck them high up into the tall, strong trees. It was as if they expected a delivery service would deliver them food in this storm, but that wasn't going to happen. As I walked by, I used a gardening tool ( a hoe I think) to pull down their orders and money.  I thought it was more nobel to use their money to purchase the prescription medication for the pregnant woman. They were going to be very expensive. Some orders had $20 attached, some had $100 attached, and differing amounts in between. 

The dream changed, and I was just outside my kitchen window very surprised to see that I had completely overlooked harvesting fruit from a blueberry bush. It was full of huge ripe blueberries abut the size of small strawberries. I was completely surprised that blueberries would still be available to pick this late in the summer. I ate one right off of the bush; it was delicious, and picked the rest.  The dream ended.

Too Many Fish Not Enough Water

11/22/15

Last night I dreamt that I was with a group of people although there were no other people in sight. There were tiny live fish packed into large mason jars. They seemed to only be about an inch or smaller in length. We needed to find more room for them to swim, or we knew they would not survive. We had average size aquariums to pour some of them into. I opened the jars and looked inside. I was surprised to realize there were so many; it seemed as if there were hundreds pack together. I wondered if some were already dead, and one in particular looked like a miniature pig paddling its legs submersed in the water. I thought that was very strange. I poured them into the aquarium, and as I began to close the lid one of the fish was suddenly much larger and forced its way out of the aquarium and into the water I now realized I was in. It attacked me, and I called out to my son Adam for help. I woke up.

Water represents the Word of YHVH.

Fish are people.

Pigs are unclean.

Mason jars are ...? Could it be a play on words regarding Freemasonry and the narrow confines the masses are lumped into?  ?? The jars are made of glass and so were the aquariums. Glass in past dream signified seeing into the spiritual realm.

The much larger fish might represent a person with more authority attacking me, or those like me, who want to provide more water (understanding of the Word of YHVH) for people to live and have abundant life.

Adam is frequently used to represent mankind. I'm not sure why I would be calling out to mankind to help me. It would make more sense to call out to my husband.

Land of the Rising Sun

November 14, 2015

My daughter M had a dream that she received a letter from a man whose name means blessing. It read that a young man she is fond of was not coming back now, but he had traveled to Japan until hunting season.  M was devastated and fell on the floor crying hysterically. She said that I saw her and told her to pull herself together. That was no way to behave. That was the end of the dream.

My first thoughts are that her betrothed represents Messiah not coming back as soon as we would have hoped. He has traveled to Japan, The Land of the Rising Son. He will not be returning until hunting season. Hunting season reminds me of Jer 16:16

“Behold, I will send for many fishermen,” says the Lord, “and they shall fish them; and afterward I will send for many hunters, and they shall hunt them from every mountain and every hill, and out of the holes of the rocks.  

DREAM - Ground and Structures Collapse

September 7, 2015

A few nights ago, I dreamt that I was with a friend on a trip. It seemed as if we may have both been in our early 20's. We were sitting at a standstill in big city traffic just in front of the Smithsonian in Washington, DC. My viewpoint changed to somewhere in the sky, and suddenly I could see a large section of the city. I could see the ground collapsing (actually disintegrating!) and all of the buildings falling away into the abyss created. It was moving rapidly in our direction. Suddenly, I was back in the car and knew that I had to drive as quickly as possible in the opposite direction. I turned around in quite a panic and noticed that the car's compass was reading the wrong direction. It created more anxiety making me question the direction I was driving. In other words, we were really driving south, but it read north. (or vise versa). 

I think the collapsing ground symbolizes what men stand on. The building are the structures / houses men have built as opposed to that which God has built. They will fall away. It was approaching rapidly!!!  I'm not sure about the compass reading the wrong direction. " Direction" makes me think that it may represent choices I will make or instruction. Perhaps the "compass" is what or whom we have received instruction in the past, but I know it isn't really correct.  I'm not sure whom I was with. Many other times in dreams there is another person with me in a car, but that person is driving. I know it's the Holy Spirit. This time I was driving, and I knew it was a young man. Maybe it was still Ruach HaKodesh. 

Below is an interpretation from my friend. 
The dream involves worldviews, which is why your view changed from your car/road (path of your life) to from the sky (heavenly, panoramic). It was of collage age because it involves what is being taught to the youth in our secular humanist universities. Like many people, you were stuck in a standstill between two opposing worldviews, with people (traffic) on every side. The Smithsonian teaches abject evolutionary materialism, and many people are stuck on it. And if I remember correctly, they have a Darwin Day and have been caught in tug-of-war, promoting evolutionary pseudoscience and discriminating against I.D. scientists. Yet the bottom is about to fall-out beneath them, and they will have no foundation to stand on. Indeed, modern America has been constructed on evolutionary thought, and it lay beneath all our institutions, academies, politics, and businesses. I don’t know how escaping the pit can be the wrong way, but perhaps (1) when you were younger your inner compass was off, and you believed in evolution as presented? Or (2) maybe the Lord was showing you that the way of escape will be seen as the wrong way to others, and you will have some doubts? Or, (3) it could be that you escape, but God wants you to turn around and help others escape? Personally, I think it means that (4) God is going to change direction on the natural world. Perhaps people will have to go against the direction the world says it right, and God is going to turn all their ideas upside down, and we will witness it.

Threadbare Dollar

8/27/15  (Elul  5776)

I dreamt that I worked in the jewelry store that I worked in as a teen. I sat at my desk (I didn't have a desk in real life, unless you call an engraving machine a desk. lol), and my co-worker sat at her desk nearby. I looked through my wallet believing that I had very little money left, only some one dollar bills. Yet, I was surprised to discover that one of the bills was a one hundred dollar bill. It was very unusual looking. Upon close inspection, it was slightly longer and more narrow than the other money. It was also very old and made of actual cloth. It was so old that threads were coming off of it like fabric that was worn out. I remember looking at it separately and noticed that it was actually issued from a state, but I don't remember which one. It may have been Indiana or Nebraska. I put it back in my wallet with the other bills and began to count them all. Now when I came back to the one hundred dollar bill it was torn so that only about one quarter to one third of it was in tact. I thought to myself that I could not use this to purchase anything. There wasn't enough of it remaining to be of value. End of dream.

It is interesting that I am working again in a jewelry store, and the symbol of a coworker. Could this point to co-laborer in Messiah Yeshua for His Kingdom where our true treasures are to be stored? I think the money points to an extreme devaluation of the dollar. Perhaps our current financial system is worn out and actually threadbare.

Threadbare stand out. We all know what it means, but here is a complete definition.
having the nap worn off so as to lay bare the threads of the warp and woof, as a fabric, garment, etc.   2)wearing threadbare clothes; shabby or poor:  3)meager, scanty, or poor: 4hackneyed; trite; ineffectively stale:

No Time Between Events.

8/20/15 (Elul 5 5775)

My daughter, M's dream last night.

There was a rock wall sitting on a small hill. It had a small slope with an opening to allow access to the beach. There was only a small amount of sand maybe 2-3 feet. M was there. There was an old man around 60, with white hair and his wife too.  He was trying to surf, but the waves were not big enough. There was one time when he looked out and said that it was going to be a big one but it never materialized. Some time passed, and some waves finally built up. They all saw a swell forming. M saw a one of them that was a significantly bigger than the ones before. She thought that would be a big one, but it broke up into 3 separate waves that were extremely close together. They were still a decent size about 4-5 feet in height. These three came in together with no space between them. The white haired man managed to climb to top the first one and rode. He transferred right to the top of the second wave.  He appeared to slide across the top it and went right onto the top of the third.  He rode down the back of it. The scene changed

Our family was at home in our kitchen with one additional woman saying the blessings for Shabbat. We had just finished the blessing for the bread, and the woman was raving about how wonderful the bread was. However, the bread came from the Publix grocery store and was stale. We thought it was disgusting, but she loved it. The topic of our 40 day fast came up, and M remembered somebody said something about breaking her fast (40) with a bite of bread.  M was very upset and ran out of the kitchen, crying with deep remorse over having broke her fast.  The woman was telling M that it was ok, but I (her mother) told the woman that you only think you are mature and know what you are talking about . You think you know how to run your home, be a proper woman, and how to live, but you don't. You think your house is in order but it's not.  The dream ended.

The rock wall likely represents Messiah Yeshua at His first coming? We have numerous references to Yeshua as our Rock.  The function of a wall separates. This wall is separating time.
2-3 feet represents time. 2,000 full years since Yeshua first came.
Sand points to Avraham's descendants.
60 may represent 6,000 yrs of mankind.
White hair - wisdom?
Waves  - People are looking for "the big one" but only smaller events are manifesting. Finally, one big one turns into 3 smaller events with no space (TIME) between them.  On a larger scale the waves could represent the 3 1/2 years of the Great Tribulation.
A man with wisdom navigates them without being drug under. Interestingly, he doesn't ride the wave to shore. He could represent Messiah at His return, because His bride is standing on shore. However, we understand that Yeshua will not be returning until the end of the Great Tribulation. The man may represent the remnant or even one of the Two Witnesses.

Our kitchen - place we are spiritually fed
The woman - the church
Stale bread - The woman thinks it's wonderful, but we know better.
Publix grocery store- Spiritual food provided to the public for consumption.
Fast broken - M understands the significance of crucifying her flesh, while the woman, the church, doesn't understand.
Me - The Holy Spirit reveals the poor condition of the church.

Not a Dream - A Strong Wind and a Feeling

8/14/15 (Av 27, 5775)

This is not a dream but an experience. Earlier today I  ran errands to make final preparations for Shabbat. I had already stopped at the gas station, pool supply store, and my final errand was to Walmart for snacks. As my son and I approached the storefront, a sudden gust of wind passed over us, and the strangest sensation was brought to mind. You see I grew up on Amelia Island a tiny island just off of the northeast coast of Florida. When a hurricane was close by there was always a change in the atmosphere. It was something that could be felt. There is no way I can describe it, but that is exactly what I felt again today. It was so strong that I said out loud, "There is a hurricane coming."

I have a feeling that this time we are in - only hours away from the 40 days before Yom Kippur, is bringing a change in the wind, the spirit. I feel the storm is sitting slightly offshore, and it is gaining both speed and momentum. It is significant this happened outside of Walmart as it has been used to represent our entire economy before. The hurricane is only days away from landfall. Are you prepared physically and spiritually? Have you drawn near to Adonai Yeshua? The darkness is again on the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moves dynamically over the face of the waters.

The Door Is Shutting

8/10/15

Last night as I was drifting off to sleep, I was abruptly awakened by the sound of my bedroom door being slammed shut.  I shut it before I went to bed.

______


Is this a picture that the door is about to be shut. I thought of the wise and foolish virgins and the door of the ark.

Moving By the Power of the Holy Spirit

8/9/15

In this dream I was in a classroom and needed to go into another room to get something. I got up and began floating slightly above the floor, not walking, to move into the other room. On my return as I headed toward the door, I wondered silently if we would be able to pass through walls like Yeshua once we are given our transformed bodies. Then my body was pushed or directed into the wall. I didn't pass through it, and it didn't hurt at all. Instead, it was as if the molecules of the wall changed. I'm not sure I felt impact with anything. It looked almost like when water is disturbed and you see ripples move out. I thanked Ruach haKodesh in my dream for showing me this. End of dream

I had another similar dream in the same night that I was in a field or and open air stadium with a lot of other people. I realized that I wasn't walking but floating a few inches off of the ground. At first I didn't want people to see that I wasn't walking like everyone else, but then the time came that I didn't care. In the air a beautiful chandelier was hung. (From what I have no idea.) I jumped up to the chandelier with very little effort and stayed their suspended in air to do what I needed to do. I think I was holding one of the crystal pieces that dangled from the light.

I believe these dreams are meant to be an encouragement. It might be a picture of how we will move in the spirit. I don't mean we won't be walking any longer, but instead it displays that we will be carried and our movement will be directed by Ruach haKodesh.

NOT A DREAM - Trump! Trump! Trump!

8/2 -3/15 

My thoughts about what I see regarding the 2016 election posted on FB.

WARNING! My weekly rant is to follow.

Have you noticed how everywhere we look in the news today we see
Trump! Trump! Trump?

A trumpet in days of old was to call the nation of Israel to attention. The shofar (trumpet) called the nation to assemble, gave commands to move out in perfect order, and even gave a call to war. There were silver trumpets that are to be blown on the Lord's Feast days such as Yom Teruah and Yom Kippur which symbolize a time for a nation's
corporate repentance and redemption. (Passover is for individual redemption.)

The physical picture we have placed before us today, if one is able to see, is quite telling. This nation, who was created for a purpose to spread the Good News of salvation through Yeshua haMashiach / Jesus Christ and provide a sanctuary for YHVH's people has usurped the authority of the Most High Elohiym and made themselves god. SCOTUS's decision on June 26, 2015, made the declaration for all the world to witness. We, His body meant to be His set apart and peculiar people, have declared YHVH's Laws are burdensome, when 1 John 5:3 instructs us they are not; we have condoned and even embraced all manner of evil in our congregations; we have not stood against and battled wickedness covering ourselves with the full armor of God - His Word which is Truth (Psa 119:142, 151; John 17:17; etc!). The truth of the matter is that what was once hidden is now visible for all to see. Just as the full extent of depravity is exposed in the latest news blitz of Planned Parenthood’s wickedness (as if abortion itself is not wicked enough) is brought into the light; the opposite is soon to be revealed. The sons of God will be easily seen. Just as the moon brings light to the blackest night, and the Torah light to our path, so too will the moon finally reflect the Sun of Righteousness emboldened with the Truth, battle ready and prepared for war. We, who are not ashamed of the Word of YHVH / Yeshua, have seen the darkness descending for a number of years, and cannot be silenced.

Thus the (Donald) Trump, which the Enemy planned for evil, is also one more message for the people of God to teshuvah - repent and return! Both repentance and return are necessary. I have heard it said that Trump declares there is no need for repentance when we know that is a lie.  Is this is simply one more attempt to confuse the body of Messiah? We are kidding ourselves if we believe there is a difference between Republican and Democrat any longer. They are simply two sides of the same coin in the pocket of people consumed with the lusts of power and greed. With a few exceptions, tragically, we no longer have righteous leaders who will stand against such corruption.

The physical reflects the spiritual and the spiritual reflects the physical. I am reminded of a dream I was given not too long ago. It was different in that instead of witnessing events it was more of a "knowing." While BO was being used to pour out judgment on this nation, Wisdom was also being poured out on YHVH's people. The question is, who really belongs in the congregation and who does not? We watch as the separation continues, and we see the Trump, Trump, Trump blasted all over the media is a call REPENT! REPENT! REPENT America! AND RETURN! The darker the night becomes the more I look to brightness of His coming/ the Victorious appearing of my Lord Yeshua ha Mashiach.

My original "rant" originated from an email correpsondence with a friend. The reply I received speaks profound truth so I asked for permission to share below. 

******************************
My friend: "You wrote: “We are kidding ourselves if we believe there is a difference between Republican and Democrat any longer. They are simply two sides of the same coin in the pocket of people consumed with the lusts of power and greed. With a few exceptions, tragically, we no longer have righteous leaders who will stand againt such corruption.” I agree, and after decades of millions of abortions, the border not secured, increased pornographic prostitution, destruction of the Middle Class, loss of voice in education (God, creation science, and ID science not allowed), unaccountable politicians, increasing debt, growing indifference to the Bible, crime, and rioting, and now gay marriage, finally conservative Christians are beginning to understand that Republicans have done little for us; they have harmed us just as much as the Democrats. I think the game is finally over for many Christians. The facts show us that we have lost on just about everything we hold virtuous. The GOP establishment has long taken advantage of the conservative base always being there, seeing that we have not had another choice. They minimize us to the national media as they run, but sing a different tune on the ground before constituents in town hall meetings. Yet they keep getting elected, even controlling the House and Senate, and they go along with the progressive program as we scream for them to turn back the right way, as they promised.

For true Christians, all the money in the world cannot make this country great again; money was never our strength. We need to attend our moral bankruptcy, and solutions to our fiscal debt will follow. We need the two silver trumpets that blew when it was time for the camp to move. Maybe the media sounding “Trump” is a counterfeit wake-up, calling the corporate body’s attention to material gods of mammon for salvation rather than our true Master, but a wake-up to how the GOP establishment never truly helps us (that politicians all serve their monetary masters) is better than no wake-up at all. All our religious leaders have become smiling spiritual gurus, selling their next products as the nation slides into a bottomless pit of depravity. I like Trump being hated by the media and GOP, and him spitting back in their faces. Many people think it is insane for us to continue to follow this left/right paradigm of politicians who are not truly working for us, and they never reverse the evils that liberal democrats do. What happened to the promise to appeal Obamacare if we gave them both houses? And have you heard of them increasing the president’s power by voting for TPP? As far as I’m concerned, it does not matter who is the next president; the agenda is already set. The true paradigm is top/bottom rather than this left/right charade. I know that the Antichrist does not come from United States, so I am not too concerned if Trump is elected. Our nation is still appointed to fall in civil war/invasion. I just hope I can see Christians abandon the GOP base before it happens; they have traded the heartland for personal gains.
***********************************************************************
MY REPLY: "The problem with Americans, IMO, is that they are still looking for a man to save this country; yet, as you stated, "the agenda is already set." Border control trumpeted by the Donald (lol) is just common sense, but it's looks to me like it is simply too late. How many thousands upon thousands of illegals have crossed into our boarders taxing resources? How many of them are jihadist simply waiting for their trumpet to sound and attack us where it hurts the most? BO has served his purpose while in office, and he has done his job very well. Still, conservative Christian Americans' jaw would drop to the floor with my statement not realizing that his (BO's) true job all along was to bring America to her knees writhing in pain broken in every possible way from an overwhelmed medical infrastructure to the end result of a society which calls evil good and good evil so depraved a soviet president actually looks righteous. We can see how we have been given a lawless king to rule a lawless people, a people whose hearts long ago turned away from serving the Holy One of Israel. People like you and I see a country that no longer resembles the one in which we were raised, but this too has a purpose if we will only open our eyes.

Listen carefully and consider, we have to understand that chaos and calamity are necessary to help us let go of the things that have kept us bound. Our Redeemer already came once for our personal redemption, but the hour approaches for our corporate redemption. Consider the three plagues the children of Israel needed to personally endure before the distinction was made. They had to experience these so they could see that they didn't belong there. Egypt was not their home. Do you hear what I am saying? The time for our redemption draws near, and what has the Word of the Lord promised from the very beginning but to regather His people to His Land to be given as an inheritance. What YHVH has scattered - He will regather. To speak plainly, we are in the time now of transition. We must realize that we must let go of everything that holds us back from whom we are destined to become and where we belong as a nation. Consider Avraham. What was the first thing he was called to leave behind? It was his country."

Think about it.

Entertainment For the Church

8/5/15 (C's 20th bday)

M dreamt that she was invited into a church assembly to do something - whatever she wanted to do. She was in a room that was elevated over the top of the rest of the congregation. She placed two strips of blue painters tape side by side and ran it down to the floor and up the center isle. She wanted to balance and roll a marble down the tape to the people. She was unsure if it could be done, but it rolled perfectly. When the tape reached the ground it turned into a beautiful and luxurious blue carpet.

The scene changed and M was in a Sunday school class room, but the teacher wasn't teaching about the Bible at all. He was putting on a show or playing a game with the class. He was very good at telling people what their name was based on their parent's names. He told M that there was no way her name should be M since her dad's name is Darrell. He said that his name should be either James or Adam. The teacher asked what her mother's name was, and she answered, "Paula." He said that could be possible. M told him that her brothers' name was James Adam. She had to leave because she was supposed to go back to the assembly.

Once there, she thought she could roll the marble again, but they didn't want her to do that. They wanted her to dance for them. She was uncomfortable, because she had not rehearsed anything. They put her on a stage in front of everyone along with a woman who was supposed to be her mother dressed in a pink tutu and leotard. The woman told M to make sure she extends her arms and simply look beautiful. M said the tshe didn't like it there and just wanted to get out of there. The dream ended.

____________
 I think this dream is telling of the condition of the church today. M was in an upper level signifying being at a higher spiritual level walking closer to YHVH. The blue color of the tape is telling. Blue signifies divine origin. A marble is made of glass which would have been very rare and precious in ancient times. She gave them something precious - the Word of YHVH.

The SS teacher wasn't teaching about the Bible, but instead he was giving a magic show exhibiting and exposing witchcraft trying to guess everyone's names. The attendees were entertained and unaware of the deception.  Name in Scripture represents "authority and character."

The last part of her dream is telling. They didn't want the Word given to them, but only wanted  superficial entertainment. The woman who was supposed to be her mother is the church as a religious organization and system.

Buzzzy Night

8-8-2015  (8+8+2+1+5=888)

Dream 1:
M dreamt she and C were sitting in the kitchen. C & M began swatting at flies that were at their feet, but they would not leave. C started to freak out some. M looked down and there were 3 flies at her foot ankle. She woke up and told herself, "Remember flies."

Dream 2: (dictated as she told it but I changed it 1st person.)
Part 1 - M was on another planet. (She didn't know which one.) There where different types of monsters - some were good and some were bad. It was an "intergalactic place to go and chill." M went there with a group of people. They got there by wormholes. All of the wormholes began closing and they would be stuck there. Everyone was struggling to get to their ships. One monster "dude" went to save a friend and missed his ship. M got on one ship but had to get out in a pod to make her way to another wormhole. Something happened to the pod, so she was only in her body going through the wormhole. It looked like a swirl of colors - like a giant lollipop. The outside looked like a black circle, but the inside was a swirl. There was another person going through it too no longer in their their pod. They landed and they were fine.
Part 2 -  M ended up at a church where she works in the nursery. She had to work that morning  and someone told them they had to be there the entire day. M asked C if she could pick up lunch. They asked if anyone else wanted anything, and everyone else said they were not going to stay because there was going to be a storm. At first it didn't look bad, but soon the clouds started looking really bad. They realized they needed to leave, but they also realized that there were kids that needed looking after, so they started packing things up. She remembered packing up little blue chairs and stacking them so they could carry more at a time. M carried a "huge" stack of chairs outside parking lot, but the wind would push her down and around and she could not make much headway. M saw the R. family (Coach J) far off, but he was too far away to help. His wife couldn't help either. Their son, Josiah, was just sitting there, so she asked for him to help, but he never did. Then I came up and I grabbed her hand and helped M to the car (the church van). The dream ended after she got the chairs in the van. She woke up and told herself to remember "whirlwind."

Dream 3.
Adam and M were on this elite force. They flew fighter jets. When they got into the jets it went down to insect size ( a little bit bigger than wasps.) They were killing wasps. There was a huge battle between people and wasps. They went through a battle and it was a hard battle. Adam and M were on a team but in two different jets. The next day, he was out early patrolling. M was about to get in her jet,but he told her it was too" ugly" (bad battles). She went anyway. Courtney was being attacked by wasps that were extremely deadly. Adam and M were working on killing all the wasps attacking Courtney. End of dreams for the night. As she told it, it made her think of the dream she had about killing the wasp affecting Brent.

________________________________________________

Dream 1 - Thoughts - The first thing I thought of when she mentioned flies was Beelzebub - Lord of the Flies. I think they represent demons. It is noteworthy they were at their feet. Your feet represent the end of a matter - a hidden reference in John 13:10. This end could also represent time. Flies - demons will be aggravating the bride as pictured by M & C more so at the end of this age. Feet also show dominion. They were only at their feet showing their authority over such things.

Dream 2 - Thoughts -
Part 1 ???  Traveling through portals?? Wormholes = portals, doors, entry points?  Could the intergalactic chill planet represent existing or resting in a place in the spiritual realm? Could the pod represent our present earthly bodies, an outer shell that will be cast off? Something happened to it. Could this be after the bride is transformed? Could the wormholes collapsing represent that time is running out?
Part 2 - Thoughts -The dream changed, and she landed at the place she works. Our family has not been in a brick and mortar church since Jan 2011. It is only where she works. IF the bride, who is taken from the Adam's body, is transformed before the end of the end, perhaps landing at the church signifies her work to be done in caring for the body. She and her sister need to care for the immature believers represented by the children. The others left their children in the care of C & M knowing a storm was coming. They left the work to C & M not fulfilling their parental responsibilities. A terrible storm coming. The wind is a picture of "spirit." Was it the Holy Spirit in the whirlwind? The whirlwind storm that is coming is likely the Great Tribulation.  I think in this dream I am a picture of the Holy Spirit because I helped M get the blue (divine origin) chairs (a place to sit / rest) into the van along with the children. The van a picture of the means by which you get to your destination. Our destination is the Messianic Era, our King and the Kingdom of God. Our means of getting there is by the Word of the Lord/ The Way of YHVH / Yeshua.

Dream 3 - Thoughts - M represents the bride of Messiah fighting along with Adam / mankind against demonic entities symbolized by the wasps. It's a fierce and ugly battle, but it is one that must be fought and will be won.  From Behind the Name.com the name Courtney means - "From an aristocratic English surname which was derived either from the French place name Courtenay (originally a derivative of the personal nameCurtenus, itself derived from Latin curtus "short") or else from a Norman nickname meaning "short nose". As a feminine name in America, it first became popular during the 1970s.


Notice also the layout and order of the dreams. Chiastic structure is one where specific language is repeated to point the reader to the most important message of the text - the center or the heart of the matter. Dream 1 and dream 3 both thematically deal with battling demons. This draws my attention to the most important message, the heart of the matter. This is a picture of the bride of Messiah, possibly in her transformed body, doing the work of caring for believers with the empowerment of the Holy Spirit during the Great Tribulation.

My Hair Turns SHINY, REFLECTIVE SILVER

8/5/15 (Carla's 20th Bday)

I dreamt that my hair started turning silver. I was shocked because it wasn't just turning at the roots, but it turned into a very shiny, reflective silver all down the entire shaft. It was so reflective and so shiny that it reminded me of the old fashioned flat tinsel people used to toss on Christmas trees. In my dream my hair was much longer too.

This is the third time I've had a dream of this type, but this time it was much more pronounced. This is what it reminded me of, but it was more even reflective and sleek.

SUN BOUNCING IN THE SKY HITS SATURN - EARTH REELING

7/28/15

(M's 18th bday)

She said she had an extremely restless night and didn't sleep for more than 2 hours at a time.

M dreamt that a young girl from work shared that she had bats hanging from her bedroom ceiling. They went to the young girl's home to check it out. When they arrived the building was only partially completed and didn't have exterior walls. It was as if the building project had been abandoned long ago.  Once they got there, there was a harsh looking woman who ordered both of them to go directly to the young girl's room.

The scene changed and M could see the moon shining bigger and more brightly than is normal. At the same time the sun was in the sky, but it wasn't illuminating the sky. The sky was still dark. There was a third heavenly body visible; it was Saturn. The sun began acting very strange bouncing all over the sky. This had catastrophic affects on the earth. The earth started reeling to and fro; gravity was lessened, so people were tossed all about. M hung on for dear life to a handle that seemed to be made of a magnetic force. It was a blueish - purple color. When the earth stabilized, it was left with a much different landscape. M said that we owned a miniature truck. It would not start, so while her father and I were inside, she was left to push it up a steep incline. Her dad sat inside coaching her as if to appear to be doing something, and she said that I sat inside smiling.  End of dream.

She felt the sun which produced no light might be the AC causing great turmoil on the earth. (Eze 32 - Pharaoh king of Egypt is one archetype of the AC. Verse 2 “Son of man, take up a lamentation for Pharaoh king of Egypt, and say to him:

‘You are like a young lion among the nations,
And you are like a monster in the seas,   
Bursting forth in your rivers,
Troubling the waters with your feet,
And fouling their rivers. "

Saturn was the Roman name for the Greek Cronos, god of farming and the father of Zeus/Jupiter. Some of its satellites were named for Titans who, according to Greek mythology, were brothers and sisters of Saturn. The newest satellites were named for Gallic (Gaul, or ancient France), Norse, and Inuit (Eskimo) giants.

SATELLITES: Pan (the half-human, half-goat god of pastoralism); Atlas (a Titan who held the heavens on his shoulders); Prometheus (a Titan who gave many gifts to humanity, including fire); Pandora (a woman who opened the box that loosed a host of plagues upon humanity);Janus (a two-faced Roman god who could look forward and backward at the same time);Epimetheus (a Greek backward-looking god); Mimas (a Titan felled by Hephaestus);Enceladus (a Titan killed by Athene); Tethys (the wife of Oceanus and mother of all rivers);Telesto (a water nymph); Calypso (a daughter of Atlas and paramour of Odysseus); Dione (a sister of Cronos); Helene (a daughter of Zeus); Rhea (a daughter of Cronos); Titan; Hyperion(a Titan); Iapetus (a Titan); Phoebe (another name for Artemis, goddess of the moon). Satellites discovered in 2000 are: Kiviuq, Ijiraq, Paaliaq, Skadi, Albiorix, Erriapo, Siarnaq, Tarvos, Mundilfari, Suttung, Thrym, and Ymir. One more satellite, discovered in 2003, is yet to be named.

'How 'Pacman' originated on Saturn's moon (R$E)' Text below "

New "PIXELS" (2015) movie shows Pacman bringing destruction to the earth and the birth of the matrix to take over this world in the rise of the kingdom of the anti-christ."

Search For the Cup

7/26/15 (26 is the gamatria of YHVH)

M dreamt that she was on a bridge over a river that wound through a small town. Many people had gathered on both sides of the bridge. They seemed to stare in awe of her beauty. M looked through the crowd to look for a familiar face. She saw an old friend from swim team, Amy Grace Hawthorn, who said, "Hi." She knew that if she was to marry a particular young man, she needed to find a specific cup. This cup was a simple green, plastic cup she used to use in real life. She traveled the length of the bridge searching, not walking but effortlessly floating. She reached the end of the bridge without having found the cup. Disappointed, she returned to the beginning and looked down to find it sitting just under a bush. It was there in the beginning. She picked it up. Next, creatures began attacking them. The bridge turned into a mountain, and the cup changed from an ordinary plastic cup to a beautiful glass vase. She held the vase while clinging to the side of the mountain. She woke up.


I believe that M is a picture of the bride of Messiah Yeshua. Water represents the Word. She so beautiful people were in awe, so perhaps this is after her transformation. She was not exerting any effort  to move, so perhaps it was by the power of Ruach haKodesh (the Holy Spirit) she will travel.

The cup itself reminded me of the cup found in Benjamin's sack in Gen 44:2. After Benjamin was found to have the silver cup (redemption) and the grain (the Word of YHVH), then Joseph revealed his identity to his brothers. Joseph is a powerful archetype of Messiah Yeshua. Remember he was dressed as a Gentile and his Hebrew brothers did not recognize him. We realize now that our Hebrew Messiah has been dressed as a Gentile so that the whole wold would be saved. The known world came to Joseph for grain. Grain is a picture of Yeshua, the Word made flesh who paid our penalty for sin and defeated death.

The cup was green. Green is primarily associated with life except in Leviticus. Rev 9:4 also came to mind.  ^"They were commanded not to harm the grass of the earth, or any green thing, or any tree, but only those men who do not have the seal of God on their foreheads"

Glass - would have been a highly prized material. See http://biblehub.com/topical/g/glass.htm

The meaning of the name of the young man is "victory of the people".

Amy - It is of Old French and Latin origin, and the meaning of Amy is "beloved". 

Grace is: From the word 'grace', derived from the Latin 'gratia', meaning God's favor. 
The name Hawthorn means "where Hawthorn trees grow". Hawthorn trees A hawthorn tree is a hardy, fruit bearing, flower growing tree that has been known to live for up to 400 years. The hawthorn flowers twice a year and from the flowers come the fruit. Each flower produces a seed, and from the seed, shiny red berries hang in clusters from the tree.

400 -The number 400, which is arrived at by multiplying 8 by 50, symbolizes in the Bible a divine perfect time period. It can also be viewed as 40 x 10. 40 generally symbolizes a period of testing, trial or probation. E. W. Bullinger lists the number 10 perfection of divine order. 

Rotten Fruit

7-20-15  
DREAM

A few nights ago my daughter, M, told of a very short dream. She walked into the kitchen, opened the refrigerator, and took out a peach. She bit into the peach and discovered the inside was completely black.  - End of dream

The symbolism of rotten fruit is obvious. Our fruit is what we say and do. The mother of the house purchases and provides the food for the house. After speaking with a friend, she reminded me that symbolically, M's mother is not me. It is (was) the church. The fruit that the church is producing is rotten! Additionally, it is a caution for M to be careful of the spiritual food she eats.

A LAUNCH HAS GONE INTO AMERICA

6-28-15

On the morning of 6/24/15, I awoke with a statement in my mind. "A launch has gone into America." Instinctively, I knew the word launch referred to a missile launch. For a moment I thought I needed to check the news to see if our country had been attacked. However, immediately I realized that the "missile launch" was from YHVH as a judgment against our nation for our sin. What I did not realize at the time was that our "Supreme Court" would place themselves as the SUPREME Authority in rejection of EL ELYON's definition of marriage. A nation and a people who, in the past, has now declared to be "UNDER GOD" no longer recognizes His SUPREME AUTHORITY.

There rebellious and lawless ruling came on July 26th. The number 26 is the gematria for YHVH! The Hebrew date was the 9th of Tammuz! http://www.aish.com/dijh/Tammuz_9.html
In 423 BCE, Nebuchadnezzar's troops breached the walls of old Jerusalem and entered the city. Four weeks later, the Holy Temple was destroyed, and the Jews were exiled to Babylon. Originally, a day of fasting and mourning was observed on the 9th of Tammuz. Seventy years later, however, when the Second Temple was built, the fast was abolished and the day was turned into a holiday. Some 500 years later when Jerusalem fell on the 17th of Tammuz -- prior to the destruction of the Second Temple -- the Sages decreed the 17th of Tammuz as a fast day to commemorate both tragedies.

I see the connection so clearly. This country has been a sanctuary for the people of YHVH. By the court's ruling and rebellion, our wall have been breached! It just so happens that the 17th of Tammuz falls on July 4th this year. Will we see another significant and tragic event? 

Lastly, the Torah Portion for the week was Chukat (Num 19:1-22:1) I was prompted to see the connection of those who spoke against God and Moshe. The children of Israel loathed the "worthless" bread God provided. The people today loathe the Word of God/ the Bread of Life! They desire their own perverse spiritual "food" and things that were never considered food. So what did YHVH do to the Israelites? He sent fiery serpents among them and "many" people died. I wonder what calamity YHVH will use today to bring HIS people, not the nations- HIS PEOPLE, to repentance. The picture is so clear as Moshe lifts the fiery serpent on a pole as a picture of God's Son Yeshua who was lifted on a stake, whose blood made a perfect atonement for us --- if we will only repent.

REPENT - Turn back to the Narrow Path that leads to life and life abundant. 

A toddler's voice came from behind me and said, "I Gotta Go …."

June 21, 2015

Last night my daughter M. dreamt that she was out at dinner when she heard a little voice behind her say, "I gotta go potty." (In real life she works part-time  in a nursery.) She turned around to see a two year old wanting her to take him to the bathroom. Standing beside her was a young woman who is slightly older than she is. M. said, "Ok, let's go." She took the young boy's hand and led him to the bathroom. The young woman accompanied them. M. positioned him backwards on the toilet to avoid a mess. However, the next thing she knew, pee was hitting her in the face. UHHHH!! She was horrified and disgusted. She cleaned up as best as she could, but it got on her clothing and didn't have a change of clothes with her. She knew the smell of urine lingered, but there was nothing she could do about it. She felt embarrassed and humiliated.


Understanding thus far….
Dining out can symbolize internalizing ideas or taking in spiritual food that is different, new, or unfamiliar. The two year old child represents immature believers who have come to M for help as they recognize their own need for cleansing. They don't' know how to do this for themselves because the church has not taught or prepared them properly. The bathroom is a place of cleansing; it is a place to remove waste. The normal process to which she is accustomed for this process is not sufficient. The child still manages to put his waste in her face and soil her clothing. The young woman is likely a picture of a person with a judgmental spirit. You can't seem to shake these people.

We would do well to take extra caution as to avoid carrying the stench of their filth on ourselves. Examples of their waste could be fear, unforgiveness, anger, bitterness, fighting, gossip, etc.

THE BABY IS BORN!

June 20, 2015 (Shabbat)

Last night my daughter (M) dreamt that she and a particular young man got married and were expecting a baby. The young man was away when it was time for the birth. M was in a hotel in Florida, and the doctor was present. The baby came so quickly that there was no time to get to the hospital. She gave birth in the hotel bathroom with the assistance of the doctor. The baby was so small, and everyone was surprised at how tiny it was. The baby was named Matthew something??.  M's Aunt Debbie. was present. She was very excited for the birth and threw a huge party. However, Debbie. took the baby away from M. and wanted to take over care of the him. She was completely dismissive of M's role as his mother. Suddenly, everyone knew a monster was coming and seeking to kill a particular person, Debra. Next, M. was scuba diving in deep water looking for a way to help Debra. The dream ended.


My thoughts on her dream are as follows:
The young man's name whom M. married means "lord, or conqueror."  M represents the bride of Messiah who births a group of people much smaller than expected. Her husband is away. It is before Messiah's return. She was in a hotel which is a temporary dwelling. This place is not our home.  The doctor is a picture of Ruach haKodesh. He is there to help her give birth. The baby came very quickly. The birth will be sudden. The bathroom is a place of cleansing. The name Matthew means "gift of YHVH." Debra in Hebrew means "word." She may represent Christianity. I believe the small group birthed is a mixture of new believers and believers who will come out of Christianity to the whole Truth. She is eager to take possession of the baby and claim it for herself. The church wants to take back possession of these believers. The monster represents the dragon who was enraged with the woman and went to make war with the rest of her offspring who keep the commandments of God and have the testimony of Yeshua Messiah. (cf Rev 12) Scuba diving is a picture of searching the Word of YHVH.

BEHOLD HE COMES!

One or two years ago I dreamt that I had a conversation with a former client, Sharon Fox. We were sitting in the living room of the house in which I grew up. I don't recall the specifics of our conversation, but while we were talking, many people came into the house. They were loud and only interested in partying. I had no idea who these people were, and confronted them asking why they were there. They said that my sister Sandra had invited them. I repeatedly told them to leave; they were not welcome, but they could never hear me over their own noise.

In the next few days I saw Sharon in the grocery store which was odd as I had never run into her before. A few days later, she called my home by mistake. I recognized her voice right away, but I didn't identify myself. Normally, I would have, and chatted a bit, but I was so taken aback that I only politely told her it was a wrong number. Finally, in a few more days I had a second dream with her in it. I felt the details of the dream were inconsequential, and the primary focus was her name.

Normally, in dreams I believe individuals may represent groups of people, their authority over you, or there is significance in their names. This time I knew it was her name that was significant. I looked up Sharon and Fox separately in Scripture, but I could not make a connection. Some time passed, perhaps three months or so, and I was particularly upset after hearing a friend, whose opinion I highly respect, was convinced that Yeshua would not be returning until 2033. I went to bed broken-hearted at the thought of waiting so long for His return. The next morning I was still pretty upset, but began my day as I always do with quiet time in His Word and prayer. Today I opened to the book of Ecclesiastes.  Normally I would have stopped there, but decided to read on into the book of Song of Solomon. I came to chapter 2:1 and read, "I am the rose of Sharon, and the lily of the valleys. I was instantly reminded of my dream, but still I didn't have understanding. I continued through to verse 15 and read "Catch us the foxes…" FOXES! I never thought to search any variation of Fox. Here we have Sharon Fox(es) within the same chapter. I thought to look at the heart of the matter (the center of the text) which took me to verse 8. "The voice of my beloved! Behold he comes!"  Oh how perfect! I know that the dreams and coincidental encounters with my former client happened before this so that I would be comforted at just the right time. No, it does not tell when He is coming, but perhaps it won't be so long. I am hopeful and encouraged!

Woman Picked Up By a Great Wind & Discarded Bible

5-21-15

I dreamt that I attended a Bible conference alone. There was row of seats that were arranged on the sides of the room, but facing inward toward the center. The majority of the seats were placed in rows and side by side in the center of the room facing the front of the room. The front wall was filled with large glass windows. I took a seat in the middle of the row on the side wall that faced toward the other seats. As the women were finding their seats, and we waited for the conference to begin, a great wind came from the back of the room and swept one woman who was very near in proximity to me and seated in the center chairs out of her seat and over the heads of all the other people. It thrust her through one of the front windows. I jumped out of my seat to help along with many others. It was very chaotic. I returned to my seat to find it had been taken and my Bible which I left in my seat was gone. The woman seated next to me said that she didn't think I was coming back and took my Bible and put it "somewhere." I was really upset and demanded that she find it. She looked but couldn't find it. When she came back empty handed I became even more upset. Profusely crying, I kept asking her why she would do something like this, and again, demanded that she find it. She pulled two $100 bills out of her wallet and and handed them to me to cover the cost of a new Bible, but I threw it back at her, and told her that she had to find mine as it had all of my notes in it. It could not be replaced. I insisted that she look again, and this time I went with her. I was extremely upset my Bible was missing. I woke up.

-------

I went alone. I don't think I've ever attended a conference alone. The arrangement of the seats was curious. Why did I sit on the wall not facing the front but towards the center facing the majority of the attendees? It was as if they were placed for us to watch others, not the speaker. Wind is the same as spirit. Was it the Holy Spirit that lifted from her seat and thrust her through the closed window? Large glass windows are present once again. This time they were closed, but broken by the woman's body. ??? Why the violence? Will the glass separating the physical and spiritual realms be broken by violence? Why was my seat taken, and why did the other woman seem to just toss out my Bible and treat it with such little care? Could that speak to the insignificance and carelessness with which "my" words about our family's faith are received? Two one hundred dollar bills…?  100- 10x10 Perfection of Divine Order. Two Witnesses - Eliyahu and Moshe; Two Houses of Israel (Ephraim and Judah); Tenakh and the Brit Chadashah, Heavens and Earth …??? Lots of questions here….

Cruise Ship / Prisoners / Kentucky Derby

5/22/15

My daughter, C, dreamt that we were sold tickets on an upscale cruise ship for a sharply discounted price. C was uneasy about the deal, but any concerns we may have had about it being too good to be true were dispelled quickly by this very charismatic, likable man This man who sold us the discounted tickets was also the captain or oversaw the entire ship. All of the other passengers appeared to be quite wealthy, as it seemed they had all just come back from the Kentucky Derby. The women were all wearing large sun hats. Somehow we became aware that "prisoners or slaves" were being kept in the deck below us. She said that I made an announcement to all the other passengers to warn them of the danger below our feet.  There was great concern that they would try to escape and cause harm to everyone else. C also said that I was doing everything I could to ensure my children's safety, such as tucking them in at night. They are all much older (19yrs-15yrs) than one would imagine a mother tucking them in at bedtime.  END


???.. Thoughts…???
The wealthy people on a cruise ship may represent people who are "cruising" through life and have little cares in this world. Being wealthy, they may also represent the Laodicean Church; they are wealthy and have need of nothing. It's interesting C mentioned they appeared to have just come from the Kentucky Derby because the winner was American Pharaoh, possibly pointing to our president. It's interesting that pharaoh was often an archetype of the Antichrist.

C wasn't sure if the people cared about my warning. - In reality, most people are not interested in hearing warnings now of coming troubles. I expect the they are not going to care until great tribulations affects them directly.

At this point, the only thing I perceive is that the prisoners or slaves in the deck below may represent the masses of people who are unknowingly being manipulated or controlled. Some can see how the powers-that-be (the Enemy) are using the media to provoke the masses to civil unrest.  Look at the provocation of the government agencies into the daily lives of law abiding citizens by absurd overreach of power. (Agenda 21; Banking; Education - Common Core; Genetic manipulation of the seed; Forced vaccines; Control and ownership of rainwater;  Chemicals in our air; Sodomite agenda; etc.) Look at horrible abuse of power we witness from some police officers and the militarization of local law enforcement agencies. The prisoners or slaves breaking out could represent concern for riots "breaking out"in our own town and touching our way of life. My attention to my children's safety may point to how I am intentionally careful in real life to gently prepare them for changing times ahead.

I am sure there is more to understand. There is always more. Any more thoughts?

BRACE for a Fall / Whirlwind.

5/5/15

I dreamt that my husband and I were inside a diner. There were booths lined up against the front wall, and we were talking to people trying to warn them of impending danger. They all laughter at us, and said that they would all be raptured away before any trouble came. We tried to warn them that we have go through the Great Tribulation for our own refinement. Next, the scene changed slightly. We were still in a restaurant, but now the entire front wall was glass and the doors were opened. We were looking right into the center of what looked like a whirlwind on its side and flattened. Only it was not made up of dust and debris, but fall colored leaves. It was right outside the door! We tried again to warn the people to take cover, but they still ignored our warnings. My husband and I crouched down near to the ground and held tight onto a concrete counter to brace for the storm.

This is the second time I've had a dream with open glass doors. Recall a friend shared that the presence of glass walls or windows in our dreams are symbolic of looking into the spiritual realm.  Do we have a storm / whirlwind at the door this fall? Below is an interpretation from another friend.

"Now, in most Christian eschatology there is a false teaching of Jews being left to fend off the world as Christians are raptured and get a front row view of the Apocalypse from Heaven- as if looking through a large glass at the world below. Christ said that He has many folds that He will make into one flock, but they do not teach this oneness. I have even heard one famous televangelist (her name was Billy something) teach that Christians will be in the spiritual Kingdom of Jerusalem floating over the physical city that Jews will live in during the millennium. This is utter nonsense. So, yes, they have created their own scriptural foods, not properly chewing or digesting what God has given them. They want a front row seat from Heaven above, and they forsake the Jewish flock, which they suppose will miss their own wedding to Messiah. Nevertheless, this will not stand. The Lord will send back Elijah, and the whirlwind is his sign- that God is with him- and Christians will have to brace for what he reveals. And Moses comes with him. Thus, that which was send down from Heaven, spiritually speaking, will be seen, announcing that the fall is nearly here and the winter approaches, all from the Word of God. You saw swirling leaves because leaves represent the living pages from the Lord’s Word. As seen in Ezekiel 47:12, at 4,000 cubits, the leaves bring healing. But in this case the leaves were not evergreen, meaning that God’s Word announces a fall before the everlasting healing that rapturists await. Concerning our gathering unto Him, there must come a falling away first during the tribulations, as Paul has also revealed (2 Thess. 2:1-11). Yet they eat of the Word like they are dining out, as if the Day of Doom is for their casual entertainment. Only those who can embrace the solid foundation- concrete- will not be severely disturbed by the truths that the Lord sends down. I don’t think that the Lord wants to announce harm to them, just as the whirlwind had no earthly rocks and debris, but only to overcome their winds of doctrines with His spiritual truths. Who would eat in a glass house or café with such a storm approaching from Heaven? They will either get caught-up in what God is gathering by His Spirit and Word, which is at the door, or they will be cast away, but they will not receive a front row view from Heaven, as if they were going to see a Hollywood movie."

Parachutes, Marching Band, Agent Orange

4/15/15

Just bits and pieced to this dream -It's probably nothing.

I was with my family, but I don't specially recall each individual. We looked up and saw an invasion of enemy troops dropping by parachute. Something odd was that I remember being able to see the tops of the chutes from the ground. They were brown and black with a pattern, maybe something like a leopard print, but not quite.

Next, they were closer to the ground but still in the air. Now instead of solders, they were a marching band playing their instruments and marching in the air as they descended.

Then we were in a large open room with a wall of glass and very large, open glass doors. We looked outside and saw the skyline turning orange. There were black letters in the sky warning that there was an "agent orange" attack. We knew it was a poisonous gas.

The dream changed and I had a baby. The baby may have been 6 months old or so. Darrell or someone had it in a pool in the back yard, but there was something in the water like pieces of slime, mildew, or specks of something. It was throughout the water and all over my baby. When the baby's head was lifted out of the water it spit or coughed out a large amount of the blueish green specks. I was horrified.

Agent Orange — or Herbicide Orange (HO) — is one of the herbicides and defoliants used by the U.S. military as part of its herbicidal warfare program, Operation Ranch Hand,^[1] during theVietnam War from 1961 to 1971.^[2] It was a mixture of equal parts of two herbicides, 2,4,5-T and2,4-D.

During the late 1940s and '50s, the US and British collaborated on development of herbicides with potential applications in warfare. Some of those products were brought to market as herbicides. The British were the first to employ herbicides and defoliants to destroy the crops, bushes, and trees of communist insurgents in Malaya during the Malayan Emergency. These operations laid the groundwork for the subsequent use of Agent Orange and other defoliant formulations by the US.^[3]

In mid-1961, President Ngo Dinh Diem of South Vietnam asked the United States to conduct aerial herbicide spraying in his country. In August of that year, the South Vietnamese Air Forceinitiated herbicide operations with American help. But Diem's request launched a policy debate in the White House and the State and Defense Departments.^[1] However, U.S. officials considered using it, pointing out that the British had already used herbicides and defoliants during the Malayan Emergency in the 1950s. In November 1961, President John F. Kennedy authorized the start of Operation Ranch Hand, the codename for the U.S. Air Force's herbicide program in Vietnam.

Agent Orange was manufactured for the U.S. Department of Defense primarily by Monsanto Corporation and Dow Chemical. It was given its name from the color of the orange-striped barrels in which it was shipped, and was by far the most widely used of the so-called "Rainbow Herbicides".^[4] The 2,4,5-T used to produce Agent Orange was contaminated with 2,3,7,8-Tetrachlorodibenzodioxin (TCDD), an extremely toxic dioxin compound. In some areas, TCDD concentrations in soil and water were hundreds of times greater than the levels considered safe by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.^[5][6]

In the absence of specific customary or positive international humanitarian law regarding herbicidal warfare, a draft convention, prepared by aWorking Group set up within the Conference of the Committee on Disarmament (CCD), was submitted to the UN General Assembly in 1976. In that same year, the First Committee of the General Assembly decided to send the text of the draft convention to the General Assembly, which adoptedResolution 31/72 on December 10, 1976, with the text of the Convention attached as an annex thereto. The convention, namely the Environmental Modification Convention, was opened for signature and ratification on May 18, 1977, and entered into force in October 5, 1978. The convention prohibits the military or other hostile use of environmental modification techniques having widespread, long-lasting or severe effects. Many states do not regard this as a complete ban on the use of herbicides and defoliants in warfare but it does require case-by-case consideration.^[7][8]

Although in at the Geneva Disarmament Convention of 1978, Article 2(4) Protocol III to the weaponry convention has "The Jungle Exception" which prohibits states from attacking forests out jungles "except if such natural elements are used to cover, conceal or camouflage combatants or military objectives or are military objectives themselves " this voids any protection of any military or civilians from a napalm attack or something like agent Orange and is clear that it was designed to cater to situations like U.S. tactics in Vietnam. This clause has still yet to be revised.
