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….
