“and the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs when she is shaken by a mighty wind.” (Revelation 6:13)
The above adds new meaning to what I once was guessing at. My first blog post titled “Raining Fire” can be found here .
Following a recap of it, I have then added some new understanding that has come to me; which came as I was learning to understand the teachings of The Revelation of St John the Divine found in the New Testament of the Bible. Be sure to take a look as I believe this to be very important.
My vision as shown in a dream, to which I was then awakened and instructed, specifically, to remember is:
I was sitting at the top landing of a beautiful, open stairway, in an open and spacious house. Directly above me was a huge skylight window.
I heard someone say “here it comes”. Initially confused, I asked: “here comes what?”
My attention was drawn to look above and to the rear of me, in what had previously been a beautiful blue sky. Quickly approaching was a massive, very dense, extremely dark and very ominous looking cloud. I had the sense of something evil.
Next thing I knew it was as if there was fire raining down from heaven. In amazement I watched as what looked like bolts of fire shot down from the sky, hitting objects on the earth.
I first saw one hit a massive tree. Immediately the entirety of the tree lit up in flames; I could clearly see each leaf simultaneously, yet individually, burn. The tree burned almost instantaneously, and quickly fizzled out; rather like a 4th of July sparkler burns.
This process took place with multiple trees, but I also witnessed quick and similar demolition of statues and buildings, in particular governmental and public buildings, as the fire bolts continued raining down from the sky.
The events came on so quickly that initially I just watched in amazement, but somehow, in the midst of it, I realized this was God allowing his judgment to be meted out upon the land.
After my initial fascination with what had so suddenly begun to transpire, I became aware of the extent of the destruction happening all around me and of the danger of it; I began to pray for protection for my loved ones against this destruction.
At the cessation of these bolts of fire raining from the sky, I was now viewing from a position outdoors surveying the aftermath of the attack. In particular, I noted broken statues and the destruction of what was once massive public buildings constructed of stone or brick.
Recognizing these once large beautiful buildings were now desolate heaps of rubble. I marveled to realize how quickly something so impressive could so easily be destroyed.
Next, I was pushing a boxcar in which I had placed children as I attempted to get them to a place of safety.
I don’t know just where I was taking them, I just knew the danger was not in the physical environment that surrounded us, but instead had something to do with escaping some form of newly established government control; a regime being implemented following the destruction brought about by the rain of fire. (update: I learned this is “marshall law”)
I’m uncertain just what the danger was; I simply knew it was urgent I get these children to safety; a process that included getting past the people of authority at set checkpoints; a feat which I was relieved to be able to manage.
It was at this point I woke up; somewhere in the early hours past midnight. Having no recollection of a dream I was confused to find myself awake,, when suddenly the entirety of it came to my mind with clarity, along with audible, but again in my mind, instruction: “you must remember this”. I pondered on it for a moment, then promptly went back to sleep.
The following day, which was October 9, 2016, I didn’t initially recall any of the above upon first waking. But when it suddenly came back to my recollection I felt like I was on fire. I shared it with my spouse, and my adult children. I couldn’t seem to think of anything else. In the afternoon it occurred to me I must record what I’d seen, so I wrote of it here in my blog.
While I don’t understand why I was shown this, I do believe it is something to come. I’ve never questioned that it was of the Lord. In February of 2017, I came to question it may be I was shown (via the video series posted below) a part of what will happen when the 6th seal is open, as described in REV 6:13 as follows:
12 And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood;
13 And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind.
14 And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places.
15 And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains;
16 And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb:
17 For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?
Here is a link to an informative, chronological, and interesting series explaining the book of Revelation. I find it to be educational and very interesting. I attempted to post only video 19, as it was while watching that segment that I immediately recognized the significance of my dream, but unable to do so I’ve posted this link for the whole series. Believing it an excellent series, I highly recommend viewing it in its entirety.
If you wish to only view the portion that pertains to the content of my blog, go to youtube and search out: The Book of Revelation – A Bible Breakdown Study Series, and find video 19, Chapter 6 part 6.
