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!
