Christian prophecy for the church and for the nations from a servant of God called to speak God's word

War drums and air raid sirens

This morning while thinking about the UK, I had a vision. Just before this vision, earlier on, I’d been seeing poisoned neighbourhoods from chemical/biological attacks from dirty weapons.

In this vision I saw war drums beating – meaning that nations/forces/powers are preparing and ‘drumming’ for war and that war is approaching. I then heard a screaming air raid siren – an awful and dreadful and frightening sound – (and it reminded me of what I have previously prophesied about attacks coming from the air. See here http://endtimespropheticwords.wordpress.com/2007/09/08/prophecy-visions-of-terror-attacks-2007-usa-uk/ and elsewhere on this site)

The wardrums in the vision were like tom-toms in that it was a double drum joined into one single one. I then saw a rip in a top side of one of these drums (I think this means a nation is somehow damaged), and I then saw a large hand reach into the rip of this drum. The hand reached in and pulled out a ‘crown’ (that is a ‘king’ or a world leader that comes out of this damage). I heard that this crown was to crown ’my servant, Joshua’.  I heard the name of the servant was Joshua albeit it was pronounced more like ‘Yeshua’ – it was also a mix of Jesus’s name in there too which I believe is derived from the same Hebrew name. I was reminded of the genuine high priest Joshua, specifically in Zechariah’s prophecy, regarding the building of the second Jewish temple, however I knew this Joshua I was seeing come out of the damaged war drum was a false counterfeit high priest who I told was definitely not of God (though I would not have know it as he looked and seemed real) but he was of the evil one (and possibly related to a third Jewish temple because of the specific Zechariah context but I did not specifically see this) and he also was, or was related to, a false Jesus Christ. So a false high priest and a false Messiah hence the morphing of the name ’Joshua’ and Jesus in the vision.  I saw him take his ‘throne’, there was much gold and glory and filthy riches around it, and it looked like a papal crown was put upon his head in a crowing ceremony as I have seen these crowns nowhere else but Rome.

I believe this vision means the rise of the Antichrist. See what I also said about the Prince of Persia which I believe ties in with this - http://endtimespropheticwords.wordpress.com/2007/11/15/the-prince-of-persia-a-throne-a-bear-shaking-the-apple-tree/

I then saw a dark and ferorocious bear on the warpath. The bear represents the Media-Persian empire (which is at least modern day Iran and Iraq). The bear was holding a sickle in his hands in a stance like the grim reaper. I understood this bear would be responsible for much death and destruction on the world, and this catastrophe – or series of catastrophes – would be part of the end times reaping. (See previous vision of the sickle here http://endtimespropheticwords.wordpress.com/2007/12/01/vision-of-a-man-with-a-sickle-judgment-coming-to-the-earth/ )

As the bear came towards me, I saw his footsteps. It was like he had trodden in paint, and he left green and red and white footprints on the ground which I understood represented the the colours of his flag (eg: Iran’s flag is these colours).

I remembered the bear from the previous vision, with his arms shaking the branches of the apple tree (apples symbolise the cities targeted for attack), with his face pressed right into the tree and savagely attacking the fruit with his mouth like a rottweiler dog does with a toy – he bites at it and shakes it vigorously with his mouth, so was this bear with the fruit biting at it and shaking at it when he had it in its teeth. It was savage indeed. 

I was reminded of this,  yet this time I saw little bits of snow on these branches like a Christmas tree and the apples looked morphed into red bauble Christmas ornaments.

Then in this new vision I saw this same bear who then opened his mouth and grimaced with his mouth going to and fro and up and down and around (like someone doing mouth exercises), and bearing his teeth poised to savagely attack, and his mouth was roaring open like a lion showing very sharp and savage teeth. This roaring face then morphed into a face like Dr Seuss’s The Grinch who was wearing a Father Christmas hat on his head, except it was not at all cute or funny but very frightening. I saw this Grinch snarl like a lion bearing his (military) teeth in the same gesture. I understood this to mean that just as The Grinch character attempts to ruin Christmas, so this Grinch would ’snarl’ and bear his teeth around the Christmas season. (I think this Christmas but was not specifically told this in the vision).

  1. Do you mean specifically this season 2007 or could it be next Christmas season?

    Comment by April | December 5, 2007

  2. Happy Christmas!

    …I’m just kidding, but boy, what a prophecy. I guess everyone should take inventory (if you haven’t already, if you usually don’t) and ‘pretend’ that Jesus the Christ is coming back, like, any minute now — literally. I mean even if you’re not ‘religious’ or ’spiritual’ or whatever term you may use, why not crack open that Bible, talk to that crazy religious neighbor of yours or that nutty Jew for Jesus guy at work or maybe see what the church down the block is all about…? I mean JUST IN CASE :)

    But seriously, GOD, have mercy and remember the Church.

  3. The Pope announced these are not the end times, there have always been wars and rumours of war…………the media reports that Iran does not have nuclear weapons just the capability to produce them, In Annapolis they are once again trying to do what the Lord has specifically said must not be done,, muslims, some evangelicals and the R.C. have signed a letter of unity agreeing we worship the same God, false prophets and signs and wonders are even in places where we could once hope to know and learn truth. they speak lies instead of truth and call evil good.
    Sister Miriam these are confusing days for even the most mature believers, i was only born again 1 1/2 yrs. ago and all i know is that regardess of what the powers of this present darkness devise, my only hope is to TRUST IN HIM Trust in what HIS Word promises and know that Jesus is the I AM who always was who is and always will be, and in Him there is no fear of the fire by night or the arrow by day.
    These are the great and terible days spoken of by the prophets and these are the final days where the Mercy of Christ will pour forth upon whosoever will…
    Shalom

  4. April:

    I have stated exactly what I saw in the visions. I saw Christmas was connected and think it is THIS Christmas (in fact am almost sure of it), not just because of everything else I have seen this year, and the fact the urgency and momentum is increasing, and this vision seemed much sooner and ‘now’ than the others, but also because what is happening in the news in front of our very eyes.

    However I was not specifically told it was this Christmas by God in the visions. I just saw ‘Christmas’. The danger is always of putting two together and making five and missing what is actually being said so be very careful with specific timing – what I can be certain of was the Santa Claus and Christmas connection with this grinch ‘roaring’ and the snow on the tree. What can I say but lay before you all what I see and say to you be careful, watch and pray!

  5. I just found this news today that may be linked to the crowing in the vision -

    http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/124443

    Temple Institute Announces: High Priest’s Crown is Ready!

    (IsraelNN.com) The Temple Institute in Jerusalem announces the completion of the Tzitz, the High Priest’s headplate – now ready for use in the Holy Temple.

    The tzitz is made of pure gold, was fashioned over the course of a more than a year by the craftsmen of the Temple Institute, and is ready to be worn by the High Priest in the rebuilt Holy Temple in Jerusalem.

    The words “Holy for G-d” are engraved on the headplate, in accordance with Exodus 28:36.

    Rabbi Chaim Richman, International Director of the Temple Institute, explained to Arutz-7 that until it can actually be used, the tzitz will be on view in the Institute’s permanent exhibition display, together with other vessels and priestly garments fashioned for use in the Holy Temple by the Institute.

    Legal Aspects: Impurity and Hekdesh
    Rabbi Yisrael Ariel, Director of the Institute, explained some of the Halakhic [Jewish legal] aspects of the fashioning of the vessels for the Temple. “For one thing,” he said, “they are made in impurity – for now we are impure, and will remain impure until we are able to have a Red Heifer whose ashes can be used in the Torah-prescribed purification ceremony. If no Red Heifer is available, then the High Priest must even serve in the Holy of Holies on Yom Kippur in a state of impurity.”

    Asked whether the fact that the vessels are dedicated for the Temple does not render them hekdesh (consecrated) and therefore forbidden for any other use, Rabbi Ariel explained, “There are two stages. First of all, we make it very clear to the donors and to the craftsmen that the ultimate purpose of these vessels is not to be used for exhibitions or the like, but rather for the fulfillment of Torah commandments in the Holy Temple. They must know this in advance. However, to gain the actual status of hekdesh, we similarly make it clear that this does not happen until the vessel is actually brought in to the Temple Mount for use in the Temple. This means that someone can try on and measure the headplate, for example, without worrying that he is benefiting in any way from something that has been consecrated to the Temple.”

    Menorah Moves Closer to Temple Mount
    Rabbi Richman noted that in less than two weeks from now, on Rosh Chodesh Tevet, the famous Menorah (candelabrum) – suitable for use in the Holy Temple, familiar to visitors to the Cardo section of the Old City of Jerusalem – will be relocated to the landing of the wide staircase that leads down from the Jewish Quarter to the Western Wall. It will be protected inside the same type of glass structure that now houses it.

    The new tzitz is an improvement on one made several years ago, in that it has a backpiece, in accordance with some commentators and the account of Josephus. In addition, it has a locking mechansim so that it will not slip off the Priest’s head, and can be adjusted to fit heads of different sizes. The old one will be preserved, of course as a “spare,” in keeping with the Mishnaic account that several models of various vessels were kept in the Temple, in case the need arose to replace one.

    Asked what project they’re working on at present, Rabbi Richman said, “We have begun work on 120 sets of garments for ‘regular’ priests, not the High Priest. This involves special thread from India, etc. In addition, we have begun work on architectural blueprints for the Third Temple, including cost projection, modern supplies, electricity, plumbing, computers, etc.”

    Bringing G-d Into Our World
    “At present,” Rabbi Richman explained, “people are in despair, and wonder if we’re not dreaming futilely while around us our leaders are planning to give the country away. We say to them: It appears that those who went to Annapolis are the dreamers, thinking that their efforts to make peace will succeed, or that the public is with them in their efforts to give away our Jerusalem, our Temple Mount, and other national historic assets.”

    “We are now approaching the holiday of Chanukah,” Rabbi Richman continued, “which is the holiday that commemorates the re-dedication of the Holy Temple. We’re not just building beautiful vessels; we’re interested in granting G-d the dwelling place that He wants in this world; the Temple is not merely a building, but a way of bringing G-d into our lives in a very real way. And that is what we aim to do. This tzitz is G-d’s Chanukah present to us, and our Chanukah gift to the Jewish People.”

  6. I found this from a Hebrew site today -

    Yeshua is the truncated form of Yehoshua which is the Hebrew name of Moses’ successor, Joshua, it also means, YHWH is Salvation. Y’shua did nothing in his own name, but in the Name of His Father YHWH.

  7. I guess we will have to see how it all plays out…

  8. Hello again,
    Here I am again reading about a fourth shooting here in the States–six children getting off of a school bus in the Las Vegas area!!! I do not know that these shootings are tied in with this vision you have shared. But, here we are near Christmas with such carnage. My heart is so troubled. . .
    Sincerely,
    Teri

  9. Let’s face it the Word says

    Joel 2:28
    And it shall come to pass afterward That I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh; Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, Your old men shall dream dreams, Your young men shall see visions.

    Of course the enemy wants to squash what God would do through our sons and daughters. We need to start praying for our the youth of this nation.

  10. Belgium fears Xmas terror attack: http://www.news24.com/News24/World/News/0,,2-10-1462_2242617,00.html

    I really don’t think Governments of countries would up security levels if they didn’t have genuine information pertaining to terror attacks.

    I wonder if the Christmas thing was Benazir Bhutto’s assasination said to be by Islamic extremists, the full implications of which are yet to be seen in Pakistan and the rest of the world. But many people are scared as they have nuclear weapons. Her killing was also about the same time as the lion attacks in San Francisco zoo and ties in with your symbolism here. Also at Christmas time the Iranians were baiting US ships in the gulf and shots were fired, but this was not found out until weeks later.

    Comment by Homie | February 6, 2008

  12. I know this was awhile back that it was posted. But have you considered the outbreak of violence against Christians in India that began in December of 2007? It has continued and increased through this year, becoming more intense in the state of Orissa, India. See http://www.persecution.org
    Have you also considered that Russia could be the bear? Think of the sickle- and Russia. The Word of God says that Israel will be attacked by the North. There is a growing alliance and networking amongst nations, particularly those who have Moslem strength, to come against not only Israel, but anyone who sides with her. Just a few thoughts.

    Comment by Amanda | December 30, 2008

  13. I had a dream that pertained to Russia. This dream was on December 2, ‘08. To make it short, I was seeing the testing of underwater nuclear rockets. I felt this was being launched either from underwater bunkers, or submarines. This so deeply stayed with me that I got online and typed in key words, and I did find a Reuter’s news article by Guy Falconbridge, dated December 1, just the day before my dream. He was stating that Russia had resumed testing nuclear missiles that were made to be fired from submarines. I think it’s the Bulava missile, but not sure right now. Apparently these missiles failed in previous tests, but I believe it was on Black Friday that they launched a successful test. Their plan was to mass produce these missiles, which have a 5,000 mile range and supposedly capable of passing through our missile shields.
    I personally believe the intent is to use them against not only the U.S., but Israel…I also believe they supply Iran. (Because of this dream, I do believe Iran is building nukes.)
    I believe this was the Lord showing me that another “page” in world events was being turned, and this was to make me aware that this is something to take very seriously.
    Of course, I can never be sure until I see something come to pass.
    I’ve only had one other dream pertaining to world events, and it was a dream that I was watching warfare on American soil, and I saw something I didn’t understand, and I heard a voice behind me say, “These are cluster bombs”. This dream took place in 1995. At that time I never heard of cluster bombs and didn’t know anyone who might know if they existed. There were other things in my dream that pertained to gasoline and that our country has turned a corner in our history that we will never turn back. It wasn’t until the U.S. was bombing Baghdad (2002?), that I heard CNN announce Baghdad’s outrage that the U.S. was using cluster bombs, which has been an outlawed ordinance for many years. I came straight up off the couch and shouted to my husband about my sudden recall of my dream from 1995. It took a little more time for me to understand the war began on U.S. territory when 9/11 occurred, and the gas station was a representation of oil, which we have been buying from Arab nations….the Middle East. (I believe the gasoline/oil was only meant to convey with whom and where our war would be.)
    As I said, I’ve only had 2 dreams pertaining to world events, over the years, but I do believe in the Word that says we would have dreams and visions in the last days.
    This is all I have to contribute, but I do keep in mind the Lord has told us in Matthew, that the real indicator is to watch Israel.

  14. I note with interest the mention of a sickle … symbolic of Russia (for that matter so is the bear). So I wonder if there is more ways to interpret this than heretofore outlined.

    Comment by paul | January 28, 2009

  15. Paul

    Yes the sickle could well have a double meaning and also mean Russia/communism as well as reaping. Iran and Russia are after all buddies [if this is the correct interpretation of the countries].

    I was funny enough thinking about the Bear earlier today before reading your comment, wondering if there could also be a correspondance with a “Bear” economy, an expression I was not familar with til recently – eg the bear [recession] shaking the ‘apple tree’ of the United States and UK – before a vicious biting through militaristic attack.

    Gaza also kicked off this Christmas of course, which is sparking yet more Arab/Western tensions.

    Comment by endtimespropheticwords | January 29, 2009

  16. The night after I wrote this comment, I got a vision of the bear – and boy he is ugly, angry and vicious. I saw him go into the water, and come out with a silver fish in between his teeth, the fish representing the church. So the bear is an enemy of God’s people.

    This should go in the backdrop of another vision I’d had the day before of a silver fish being held upside down, with a tight yellow band around its tail, and I felt God was saying with that the church would soon be turned upside down, with persecution/ungodly constraint put upon it.

    And then in a third vision, I again saw the bear and again I saw the anger and ugliness. This time he had a fishing net in his hands – [again representing going after the fish = the church]. But he also held a dark whip in the other. And I saw as with this whip he deliberately whipped himself in his leg – his right leg, or if you were looking at his front the left hand bottom side. I understood this to mean that the Bear would attack part of its own ‘empire’, deliberately wound itself. [And I thought this left leg could geographically match the land on a map]
