He Would Not Listen
23 As Jehudi read three or four columns, the king would cut them off with a knife and throw them into the fire in the fire pot, until the entire scroll was consumed in the fire that was in the fire pot. 24 Yet neither the king nor any of his servants who heard all these words was afraid, nor did they tear their garments. 25 Even when Elnathan and Delaiah and Gemariah urged the king not to burn the scroll, he would not listen to them. 26 And the king commanded Jerahmeel the king’s son and Seraiah the son of Azriel and Shelemiah the son of Abdeel to seize Baruch the secretary and Jeremiah the prophet, but the LORD hid them. (Jeremiah 36:23-26)
I must speak elliptically about a matter which is not yet in the news. A certain Jeremiah has been speaking truth, directly and privately, to the President of the United States. By his actions regarding Israel and the so-called ‘Palestinians’ (among other things), the President has shown that he is unwilling to listen, and that he is hostile to this truth.
I have recently learned that this Jeremiah is being deliberately, unexpectedly and quite abruptly cast out of the President’s confidence, and put in danger. It is hard to avoid the conclusion that this development is (at least partially) the result of what are, for the President, highly inconvenient and unwelcome truths spoken by this Jeremiah.
I mention all that to say this:
What we are observing in the news is just a part of a troubling picture being played out behind the scenes also. The president is “doubling down,” in the most determined way, against the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and His Christ, Y’Shuah. The die has been cast.
This individual will be hidden, just as Jeremiah was. The Lord has protected this person before in amazing ways. Nonetheless, I would covet your prayers for this person’s safety, and that the Word of Truth which this person speaks, causes more men and women to turn to Christ in this hour.
Alarming Number of Disasters Striking World “Food Baskets”
May 16, 2011
Holly Deyo
Dear Friends and Readers of Millennium-Ark,
For the last 5 years, we have posted countless articles covering both natural disasters and their impact on our food supplies as well as on many other timely topics. After several decades of monitoring these events, it’s hard to convey how shocked we are by the sheer number of disasters that have occurred just in the first 4 months of 2011.
Yesterday, all day, I spent analyzing natural disasters and plotted them against our food belts. Never, ever, have I seen so many federally declared disasters this early in the year.
The DHS/FEMA maps were defined by 2 colors: blue signified no disasters (to distinguish the disaster-free areas from water, they are shown in white below) and yellow indicated declared disasters. Map after map, state after state were mostly yellow. Surely this must be an error? Thinking through the numerous news items on Earth Changes, with sinking feeling, I knew they were correct. It was only when the state information was transferred to a single national map, the implications become uncomfortably clear.
Notice how many disasters have occurred in food-producing areas. They are striking the heart of our food growing regions. Many food crops have been wiped out by drought, flood, hail and freezes. These food destroyers are occurring in greater frequency and having larger impact. America’s food belts are taking mighty hits. Some growing areas will not recover this entire year.
It won’t matter if you don’t have work, can’t trade greenbacks for gold, have no access to Facebook or on-line shopping or whatever else you care to name – minus faith in God – if you don’t have clean water and food, civilization will quickly disintegrate around you. In the 2007-2008 food riots across the globe, we witnessed a mere taste of what to expect. The only difference is that WE, Americans and Canadians, enjoyed these precious commodities of bread, wheat, soybeans, corn – the staples of food supplies – without interruption. Countries that suffered natural disasters combined with economic catastrophe were either too poor to import these necessities or there was none to be had.
America is one of THE largest food exporters. Now supplies in our country are getting creamed with one weather event after another. Crops are either hammered by drought or literally inundated by FEET of water. Some farmers still can’t get their crops in the ground because the land is too soggy – never mind the 3 MILLION acres that are now submerged due to the unending, unmerciful rain and flooding in the Midwest. Still there is no let-up in sight. Many farmers’ crops are wiped for this entire year. There will be no second shot at planting.
Now look at the food growing areas laid over the disasters. There is hardly any crop region that hasn’t experienced a natural disaster in 2011. It paints a very unsettling picture.
Unprecedented freezes took a lot of Mexico’s produce that supplies huge quantities of fresh fruits and veggies to North America. On a lesser scale, late spring freezes have wiped out Colorado’s apricots and California also took a hit on their produce.
Conversely, Texas, one of the backbone states for cattle, is experiencing the worst drought in decades forcing ranchers to sell herds early. In the short term, this will plummet the cost of beef, but next year, when cattlemen try to replenish herds, prices will be at a premium and you, the consumer, will see these huge price increases at the butcher.
Last year we watched in disbelief as Russia suffered massive drought that brought raging fires to their country. Russia who is usually a large grain supplier, not only placed a year-long ban on exports, but they were forced to purchase grain from other countries. By the end of last year, they’d lost nearly 40% of their crops and imported 3.5 million tonnes of grain. The export ban is in effect at least through this July
Last year in Australia, another huge food producer, was struck with massive rains. These floods crippled food supplies. Today, conditions are reversed. Drought rears its head again.
Grim Global Grain Outlook
Tuesday,
Bloomberg gave a rather dark assessment of global grain conditions:
Corn planting in the U.S., the world’s largest grower, is advancing at half of last year’s pace because of excess rain, government data show. The Canadian Wheat Board said fields are so muddy that only 3 percent of grain has been sown, compared with 40 percent normally. At the same time, drought left the Kansas wheat crop in the worst shape since 1996, and dry spells are threatening crops in France, Western Australia and China.
The U.S. winter-wheat harvest, which begins next month, probably will total 1.387 billion bushels, the least in five years, according to the survey.
Kansas Crop Shrinking
The crop in Kansas, the biggest U.S. grower of winter varieties, may shrink by 29 percent from last year because of drought, according to a survey of 55 analysts conducted last week by the Wheat Quality Council and based on field samples. The dry spell in Texas, the No. 2 grower of winter wheat last year, means the state may produce two-thirds less than normal, said Mark Welch, an extension economist at Texas A&M University in College Station.
Texas and Oklahoma are very comparable to what happened to the Black Sea region” of Russia last year, Doane’s Manternach said. “It’s too late for rain to help those crops.”
Central Kansas had less than 25 percent of normal rainfall in the past 30 days, while parts of Oklahoma and Texas had less than 5 percent, said Drew Lerner, the president of World Weather Inc., an Overland Park, Kansas-based forecaster.
In Minnesota and North Dakota, the biggest spring-wheat grower, farmers face planting delays after receiving twice the normal amount of precipitation in the past month, Lerner said. Parts of the Ohio River Valley and the Mississippi River Delta have had up to four times the normal amount of moisture, he said.
Reduced Inventory
In a report tomorrow, the U.S. Department of Agriculture probably will cut its forecast of global corn reserves before this year’s Northern Hemisphere harvest to 122.5 million metric tons, the lowest in four years, according to a Bloomberg News survey of 14 analysts. The U.S. is the world’s biggest exporter of corn, soybeans, wheat and cotton.
Dry weather in France and Germany and the U.K.’s hottest April in at least 352 years are threatening crops across the European Union, producer of one-fifth of the world’s wheat.
Less than a year after the worst drought in a generation destroyed one-third of Russia’s wheat crop and sent global food prices surging, more bad weather is damaging fields from North America to Europe to Asia.
Australia, Canada, China
Parts of Western Australia have had the lowest rainfall on record for the past 16 months, according to the country’s Bureau of Meteorology. The government in Manitoba, Canada, has declared a state of emergency because of floods. Wheat output in China, the world’s biggest consumer, may decline for a second straight year because of dry conditions, Tommy Xiao, an analyst at Shanghai JC. Intelligence Co., said on May 5.
Drought conditions may persist in wheat-growing areas from China, the world’s largest grower and consumer, to the U.S. and Western Europe, hurting crops and lifting prices, British Weather Services said on May 6.
Global wheat inventories may drop to 182.1 million tons by June 1, down from last month’s USDA estimate and 8 percent lower than a year earlier, according to last week’s Bloomberg survey. Inventories at the end of next year may be little changed at 182.27 million, analysts said.
Gardens – Good Insurance
Whispers of civil unrest are rattling global markets. Look where prices are even now – the highest in nearly a decade and the year is not even half over.
This weekend, and for the last several weeks, Stan and I have enlarged our fruit and vegetable gardens doubling them. By using raised beds and biointensive methods as described in Garden Gold where you cram a lot of seeds and seedlings together, you net big yields from little areas. Even people with very limited space can enjoy lush, bountiful veggie gardens.
In April friends from Montana had brought us fruit bushes and fruit trees along with non-hybrid herbs and potatoes she’s grown for 40 years. We happily incorporated them into our growing gardens appreciating what they will produce.
Saturday, as I sweated over chiseling a hole in the crummy dirt here that passes as soil, a neighbor good naturedly joked, Hey, when are you gonna eat that? Yes, the new Redflame and Concord grape bushes were small, but with a little TLC, sun, water and fertilizer, we’ll enjoy grapes, jelly and wine in no time.
I pounded out another new hole and wondered absently how glib the neighbor will be when food conditions get really tough and he knocks on our door for help. (Let me share that we totally remove the poor quality dirt [read that as 'tan concrete'] and replace it was Garden Gold’s Super Soil recipe. It would take several years to amend it properly so it’s just easier to ditch the poor dirt and replace it.) Not surprisingly, these neighbors are Wisconsin transplants where water is plentiful and disasters were few. They’ve had few points of reference. However, things have changed and nearly 3/4 of Wisconsin has already experienced federally declared natural disasters this year.
In addition to the existing orchard, fruit-bearing bushes and raised beds, last year we started an asparagus patch. They need a year to establish themselves and then you have a wonderful, vitamin-rich crop that comes up year after year and they beat the socks off grocery store asparagus for tenderness.
Containers, No Brainers
Two weeks ago for a neighbor who’d had surgery we took her two container-planted tomatoes. They are Italian so naturally we gave them Romas. You should have seen her face light up! Being Brooklyn transplants, Pat never had a garden, but since the tomatoes were in pots they were something she could manage even in her debilitated state. These will give her fresh fragrant TASTY tomatoes, unlike the grocery store trash that fills your belly but not your soul. It will also give her a sense of accomplishment that she can now raise some of her own food and perhaps encourage her to try a real garden. Flowers die, fruit baskets disappear, but these plants she’ll enjoy for many months.
We also have planted six 5-gallon containers with tomatoes and peppers. They’ll live outside till bad weather requires them to come inside. For the first time in years, we’ll enjoy wonderful tasting veggies all through winter instead of grocery stores’ tasteless offerings.
Several months ago, we ordered in a TON of seeds. We purchased both hybrids for this year and non-hybrids for upcoming growing seasons. The extra seeds we’ll keep in the freezer to extend to maximum storage life. These are unsettled times and we promise, things will only get more challenging. We are seeing the End of this Age balanced on a banana peel.
With these maps in mind, we encourage you to think outside the comfort zone and envision how you would fix dinner and with what… without going to the grocery store. Don’t let it overwhelm you. Be courageous and consider your family, not your fears. Reset your priorities and order foods that you can’t grow. Plant your gardens now, while you have leisure time. Get the family involved and make it a fun project, not one borne of necessity. Time is always shorter than we think…

Would like y’all’s thoughts and impressions on the following.
Please look carefully at the following maps and see if you notice any commonalities from the Southern 3/4ths of California East up toward the top North East corner of Utah and back down through the upper North West 1/2 of Arizona back to Southern California.
What similarities might there be in the two maps?
FIRST–THE QUAKE MAP FOR TODAY–24TH MAY 2011
NEXT, THE PURPORTED NAVY MAP FROM JOHN MOORE ON YOUTUBE:
Am looking at gross boundary sorts of similarity and/or directional/slant similarities.
will give my responses after some others respond. Maybe before.
It appears to me that the line/cluster of quakes from the gulf of Baja up to about Santa Barbara . . . has a bit of a reach toward the cluster reaching down from the Western angle of Nevada.
Then there’s the scattered line/cluster from about Las Vegas up toward the South Western Corner of Wyoming.
The parameters of those clusters are not far off from the South Eastern boundary of the blue body of water concerned on the “Navy” map.
Further, the cluster/line of quakes on the coast from San Francisco up toward Oregon is on the Western edge of the finger/peninsula of land sticking down from Oregon in the Navy Map between the Eastern line/cluster of quakes near the CA/Nevada border–with no quakes in between where the finger of land is projected to extend thru.
Preface: This essay does not question whether Bin Laden and Al Qaeda attacked us on September 11, 2001, or whether Iran, Saudi Arabia or another nation-state had a hand in the attacks. It focuses solely on a peripheral issue regarding the third building which fell on that terrible day.
Senior Bush administration officials sternly cautioned the 9/11 Commission against probing too deeply into the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, according to a document recently obtained by the ACLU.
The current commander-in-chief, Barack Obama, has also warned against questioning 9/11:
Many hundreds of high-level military officers, intelligence officers, congressmen, legal scholars and experts have broken the commander-in-chief’s orders not to question the government’s official narrative regarding 9/11. And see this and this.
But neither Bush nor Obama has instructed us not to discuss World Trade Center Building 7. Indeed, they have never once mentioned the fact that a third building collapsed on 9/11 (and the 9/11 Commission never mentioned it either), even though that building was not hit by a plane.
And no one was killed when Building 7 collapsed. As such, discussions of why Building 7 fell does not question Al Qaeda’s responsibility for the 3,000 deaths of innocent Americans which occurred on 9/11. It doesn’t even touch on U.S. military affairs since 9/11, since no wars or anti-terror campaigns were launched to avenge anything which happened in connection with Building 7.
For these reasons, I will take the commander-in-chiefs’ silence on this subject as permission to speak freely. And the family members who lost loved ones on 9/11 want this topic discussed.
Moreover, if Building 7 collapsed for reasons other than the official explanation, that does not necessarily show nefarious intent. For example, Paul K. Trousdale – a structural engineer with decades of experience – says:
I had always thought the 3rd building was destroyed to prevent unpredictable collapse.
Here It Is
Have you ever seen Building 7 collapse? Here’s footage from several different angles:
BUILDING 7 COLLAPSE VIDEOS FROM SEVERAL DIFFERENT ANGLES:
Top Experts Say Official Explanation Makes No Sense
Numerous structural engineers – the people who know the most about office building vulnerabilities and accidents – say that the official explanation of why building 7 at the World Trade Center collapsed on 9/11 is “impossible”, “defies common logic” and “violates the law of physics”:
The collapse of WTC7 looks like it may have been the result of a controlled demolition. This should have been looked into as part of the original investigation
Robert F. Marceau, with over 30 years of structural engineering experience:
From videos of the collapse of building 7, the penthouse drops first prior to the collapse, and it can be noted that windows, in a vertical line, near the location of first interior column line are blown out, and reveal smoke from those explosions. This occurs in a vertical line in symmetrical fashion an equal distance in toward the center of the building from each end. When compared to controlled demolitions, one can see the similarities
Kamal S. Obeid, structural engineer, with a masters degree in Engineering from UC Berkeley and 30 years of engineering experience, says:
Photos of the steel, evidence about how the buildings collapsed, the unexplainable collapse of WTC 7, evidence of thermite in the debris as well as several other red flags, are quite troubling indications of well planned and controlled demolition
Steven L. Faseler, structural engineer with over 20 years of experience in the design and construction industry:
World Trade Center 7 appears to be a controlled demolition. Buildings do not suddenly fall straight down by accident
Ronald H. Brookman, structural engineer, with a masters degree in Engineering from UC Davis, writes:
Why would all 110 stories drop straight down to the ground in about 10 seconds, pulverizing the contents into dust and ash – twice. Why would all 47 stories of WTC 7 fall straight down to the ground in about seven seconds the same day? It was not struck by any aircraft or engulfed in any fire. An independent investigation is justified for all three collapses including the surviving steel samples and the composition of the dust
WTC 7 Building could not have collapsed as a result of internal fire and external debris. NO plane hit this building. This is the only case of a steel frame building collapsing through fire in the world. The fire on this building was small & localized therefore what is the cause?
In my view, the chances of the three buildings collapsing symmetrically into their own footprint, at freefall speed, by any other means than by controlled demolition, are so remote that there is no other plausible explanation
I began having doubts about, so called, official explanations for the collapse of the WTC towers soon after the explanations surfaced. The gnawing question that lingers in my mind is: How did the structures collapse in near symmetrical fashion when the apparent precipitating causes were asymmetrical loading? The collapses defies common logic from an elementary structural engineering perspective. “If” you accept the argument that fire protection covering was damaged to such an extent that structural members in the vicinity of the aircraft impacts were exposed to abnormally high temperatures, and “if” you accept the argument that the temperatures were high enough to weaken the structural framing, that still does not explain the relatively concentric nature of the failures.
Neither of the official precipitating sources for the collapses, namely the burning aircraft, were centered within the floor plan of either tower; both aircraft were off-center when they finally came to rest within the respective buildings. This means that, given the foregoing assumptions, heating and weakening of the structural framing would have been constrained to the immediate vicinity of the burning aircraft. Heat transmission (diffusion) through the steel members would have been irregular owing to differing sizes of the individual members; and, the temperature in the members would have dropped off precipitously the further away the steel was from the flames—just as the handle on a frying pan doesn’t get hot at the same rate as the pan on the burner of the stove. These factors would have resulted in the structural framing furthest from the flames remaining intact and possessing its full structural integrity, i.e., strength and stiffness.
Structural steel is highly ductile, when subjected to compression and bending it buckles and bends long before reaching its tensile or shear capacity. Under the given assumptions, “if” the structure in the vicinity of either burning aircraft started to weaken, the superstructure above would begin to lean in the direction of the burning side. The opposite, intact, side of the building would resist toppling until the ultimate capacity of the structure was reached, at which point, a weak-link failure would undoubtedly occur. Nevertheless, the ultimate failure mode would have been a toppling of the upper floors to one side—much like the topping of a tall redwood tree—not a concentric, vertical collapse.
For this reason alone, I rejected the official explanation for the collapse of the WTC towers out of hand. Subsequent evidence supporting controlled, explosive demolition of the two buildings are more in keeping with the observed collapse modalities and only serve to validate my initial misgivings as to the causes for the structural failures
We design and analyze buildings for the overturning stability to resist the lateral loads with the combination of the gravity loads. Any tall structure failure mode would be a fall over to its side. It is impossible that heavy steel columns could collapse at the fraction of the second within each story and subsequently at each floor below.
We do not know the phenomenon of the high rise building to disintegrate internally faster than the free fall of the debris coming down from the top.
The engineering science and the law of physics simply doesn’t know such possibility. Only very sophisticated controlled demolition can achieve such result, eliminating the natural dampening effect of the structural framing huge mass that should normally stop the partial collapse. The pancake theory is a fallacy, telling us that more and more energy would be generated to accelerate the collapse. Where would such energy would be coming from?
Antonio Artha,with 15+ years of experience in building design
Fire and impact were insignificant in all three buildings. Impossible for the three to collapse at free-fall speed. Laws of physics were not suspended on 9/11, unless proven otherwise
James Milton Bruner, Major, U.S. Air Force, instructor and assistant professor in the Deptartment of Engineering Mechanics & Materials, USAF Academy, and a technical writer and editor, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory
It is very suspicious that fire brought down Building 7 yet the Madrid hotel fire was still standing after 24 hours of fire. This is very suspicious to me because I design buildings for a living
David Anthony Dorau, practicing structural engineer with 18 years’ experience in the inspection and design of buildings under 5 stories tall, who worked as a policy analyst for the Office of Technology Assessment, an arm of the U.S. Congress providing independent research and reports on technological matters
Russell T. Connors, designed many buildings and other types of structures
The above is just a sample. Many other structural engineers have questioned the collapse of Building 7, as have numerous experts in other disciplines, including:
A Dutch demolition expert (Danny Jowenko) stated that WTC 7 was imploded
Harry G. Robinson, III – Professor and Dean Emeritus, School of Architecture and Design, Howard University. Past President of two major national architectural organizations – National Architectural Accrediting Board, 1996, and National Council of Architectural Registration Boards, 1992. In 2003 he was awarded the highest honor bestowed by the Washington Chapter of the American Institute of Architects, the Centennial Medal. In 2004 he was awarded the District of Columbia Council of Engineering and Architecture Societies Architect of the Year award. Principal, TRG Consulting Global / Architecture, Urban Design, Planning, Project Strategies. Veteran U.S. Army, awarded the Bronze Star for bravery and the Purple Heart for injuries sustained in Viet Nam – says:
The collapse was too symmetrical to have been eccentrically generated. The destruction was symmetrically initiated to cause the buildings to implode as they did
DISCOVERS THAT WHILE THE OFFICIAL STORY IS THAT NONE OF THE PLANES BLACK BOXES WERE FOUND–WHEN ACTUALLY all 4 WERE RECOVERED–the witness on film saw one of them with his own eyes and was told 2 others were found. Dave Lindorff–investigative journalist was told they actually found all 4 and that all 4 were in the hands of the FBI.
Here’s another prophecy I stumbled onto on youtube. A woman is reading a prophecy by Terry Burnet–purportedly given to Terry by the angel Michael. Very specific phenomena described.

Greetings!!!
These Words were given to the Heartland Areas when we traveld there to minister last August and also this March. The Lord is doing His Word, and we must also do our parts. It is time for the People of God to rise up for God is at work! The Lord has a Diving Construction Plan for America. We must seek His Face and know that He is for us, with us, and working it all out, as we seek His Face. -Susan
The Little Rock, Arkansas and Stillwell, Oklahoma Word -08-23-10
The Lord reminded Susan before she came down south to the Heartland to do 3 meetings this week, was that He was going to re-start the Heart of America as it had stopped beating.
He showed it to her in this manner…Susan saw a funeral procession being held in a large city and it was a bright sunny clear day, with a slight wind blowing. The street was lined with onlookers who watched a draped casket go by them down the street. It seemed to Susan that this was a national vision of a singular event. The whole nation was represented by this single scene…..anyways, the people were silent, not moving or weeping. Just watching it go by. The air was somber and matter of fact. I asked the Lord who had died. The Lord said to me, “Not who, but what has died is the correct question.”
The Lord then paused, and continued, “This Nation has lost it’s vision and their vision has died. The Heart of America is no longer beating the same as My Heart beats for her. Our heart’s are no longer one in Covenant, or are they synchronized with My Will for her as a nation. I must re-start their National Heart, and reawaken their Vision to be able to see clearly again.”
Then she saw a flat map of America lying down on the ground and she was above it looking downwards at it. A huge non motorized lawn mower, the old fashioned reel type, was steadily mowing a strip of grass all the way across the middle of America from East to West, right across the middle like a belt would be around the waist. Then it started at the top of America and mowed downwards from North to South till it had mowed a solid strip of grass. When it was done, it looked like a cross of mowed grass top to bottom, and across end to end right down and across the middle of the nation in all four directions.
Then a large red ribbon came down and went into the freshly mowed areas and it wrapped around the top to bottom and from end to end, much like a ribbon would tie up a bundle or gift box would. Then she saw Jesus was walking up a long road dressed much like a traveler would be and He had a long stick in His hand. He went up to the nation that was all tied up and He bent down and picked it up like a small bundle and He slipped it onto the end of His Stick and threw it over His shoulders like a hobo would a bundle and He carried the national bundle away on his shoulders and walked down the road with it.
This vision shows the process of restoration that only Jesus can bring to us as a Nation and as a People. His Administering Shoulders or His Government, and His Capable Hands will carry us through this next Season. He loves us enough to carry us, and to fully minister to us, until we are fully healed.
Luke 15:
1 Now the tax collectors and sinners were all drawing near to hear him. 2 And the Pharisees and the scribes grumbled, saying, “This man receives sinners and eats with them.” 3 So he told them this parable: 4 “What man of you, having a hundred sheep, if he has lost one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the open country, and go after the one that is lost, until he finds it? 5 And when he has found it, he lays it on his shoulders, rejoicing. 6 And when he comes home, he calls together his friends and his neighbors, saying to them, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep that was lost.’ 7 Just so, I tell you, there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who need no repentance.
While driving to the Arkansas region on Monday, the Lord began to give Susan several small visions that repeated throughout Monday and Tuesday until the final piece was revealed to the understanding shortly after the time they arrived in Fort Smith.
The first thing the Lord showed Susan was a scene where Jesus went up to what looked like a tornado or storm shelter that was built into the ground and the top portion and the door was above ground. He went up to the door and reached for the door handle and pulled the door open and went down into the shelter. After a few steps inside He came to another door. So He reached out and pulled that door open as He did the first one. He entered the second door and went down a few stairs and came to a third door. He reached out and pulled the third door open and went down the few stairs just like the first and second ones. Then He came to a fourth door. I saw Him stop and smile. I knew that there was seven doors total that He would eventually have to go through to get to the bottom of where He was headed.
Then He revealed to me that this access point and shelter that He went down into was a picture of the Heart of America. It had seven layers of stuff built up over the heart, so that it was buried very deep. Jesus was slowly making His way down to the very depth of the Nation’s Heart to not only heal it, but to also re-start it. The nation’s Heart was not beating right, and it was dying under the weight of the layers that had been allowed to be encrusted upon it over time. Jesus was half way through the encrusted layers of the Nation’s heart at this point in the process of His dealings with us as a national whole.
Song of Solomon 5:2 I slept, but my heart was awake. A sound! My beloved is knocking. “Open to me, my sister, my love, my dove, my perfect one, for my head is wet with dew, my locks with the drops of the night.”
Luke 12: 36 and be like men who are waiting for their master to come home from the wedding feast, so that they may open the door to him at once when he comes and knocks.
Revelations 3:19 Those whom I love, I reprove and discipline, so be zealous and repent. 20 Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and eat with him, and he with me. 21 The one who conquers, I will grant him to sit with me on my throne, as I also conquered and sat down with my Father on his throne.
After they arrived in Fort Smith and had retired for the night. The Lord woke Susan up and continued showing her more pieces of the unfolding revelation for the Heartland Areas of the Nation.
The Lord showed her in a dream that she was in a huge cavern somewhere under ground standing with Jesus. He pointed upwards and above them was the ceiling and walls of the cavern. It was layered with many layers of crust and debris over time and looked much like rough cement had been poured sloppily all over and had been left to dry as it was without smoothing it out anywhere. It was all haphazard inside and very coarse looking. It also looked like the whole walls and ceiling of the large cavern was going to cave in at any minute from the weight of the layers that had built up inside.
The Lord smiled at me knowingly, and He reached up and pulled an unseen rope that I hadn’t noticed before, that hung from above, and when He pulled the rope I heard a loud peal or mighty sound and the whole ground shook and the entire cavern shook and all of the walls shook and the whole thing came crashing down around us, or so I thought. I was shocked and alarmed. The Lord just smiled and stood there while it all shattered and fell down around us. We were not harmed in anyway in the vision. But it was a mess inside when it stopped shaking. The cavern did not cave in as I had thought it would by the great noise and the great earthquake. It had jarred all the layers and unkempt debris that had clung to the walls of the cavern loose and it had broken it all up and it all fell to the floor of the cavern. As I looked up, I then saw that the cavern was shining. It had a beautiful crystal like surface and it was brilliant. Jesus then moved His Hand and a great wind swept through the cavern and cleared out all of the debris. Soon, I saw that the walls and the floor also was made up of the same crystal like material that shone beautifully.
The Lord then said to Me, “This is a symbol of the Heart of your nation and of My Church in America. It has waxed cold and has lost it’s founding vision. The Heart is caked over and is clogged up with it’s own pursuits and worldly desires so that it no longer functions as I first created her to function among the other nations of the world. Her light has dimmed and she cannot see clearly anymore. She was birthed in the earth to be a great Light for Me. I have begun a very hard, and a very deep work, to remove those things from her and from within her, to cause her to become whole and healthy again. This dream shows you just how deep the roots are and the hardness is, and how great the brokenness is. But nothing is too hard for Me, as I am in full control of the whole process, and this is My Country and My Covenant People live within her. So, I will cause a great shock to now come, that will be intense and it will dislodge the final remaining layers that are left to break through. I will cause this great shock to jump-start the national heart, and to bring an awakening to the People, that will cause them to choose to stand up again and to see clearly where they are in My eyes. This process will bring a season of increased trauma at first, but it will ultimately bring wholeness and soundness again in My Plan for you as a Nation. Do you understand this?” I nodded yes.
He then said, “You are here in the Heartland for My Purposes. I have spoken many times, through many vessels, in many ways, to this nation, but this nation has refused to hear Me over the years and in the Seasons that I have brought her through, and My Church has not fully responded to Me or has sought My Face fully. So, I have shown you this to warn them of My next Season that I will bring her through and My Purposes in it. I am here to bring Life to the National Heart, and to awaken the heart of the Church that has also slumbered. I am here to heal their Vision and to bring soundness to their walks and paths. But they must embrace Me in it. You are to tell them what I have shown you, for it comes shortly.”
Then Jesus began to shine brilliantly within the cavern of the heart as we were both standing in deep in the Heartland of America. When He did, the whole cavern interior was lit up and it then glowed with His Light like the beautiful crystal that He created her to be. It was so beautiful that I gasped. Then He smiled, and was satisfied. The dream ended.
The Sign of Stillwell – “Still-Well” – Oklahoma:
2 Peter 1:19 And we have the prophetic word [made] firmer still. You will do well to pay close attention to it as to a lamp shining in a dismal (squalid and dark) place, until the day breaks through [the gloom] and the Morning Star rises (comes into being) in your hearts.
You are to be a “Still Well” or a Firm Well”. – A Firm, Solid Place that brings forth Living Waters.
Through great hardship and adversity the Father has made you here today strong and ready to now be able to shine for His End- Time Purposes. This region is to be like a Lamp burning, or shining in a dark and hard time, as a Light of Healing and of Faith. This Region is to be a Hub of Healing, and also a Hub of releasing the Knowledge of God’s Heart, and the Expression of the Heartbeat of God, outward unto the Nation. God wants a clear sound, and a clear prophetic voice, a clear expression, and a clear resonation of the Lord to now emerge, and it will be fully birthed forth from the Heartland again, but it will come by His Hand and not by any man’s.
The Sign of Fort Smith: “A Forged Smith”:
God has been forging the Smith’s first – who will now fashion or forge a people into a glorious vessel for the Master.
Proverbs 25:4 Take away the dross from the silver, and the smith has material for a vessel; 5 take away the wicked from the presence of the king, and his throne will be established in righteousness.
Malachi 3:2 But who can endure the day of his coming, and who can stand when he appears? For he is like a refiner’s fire and like fullers’ soap. 3 He will sit as a refiner and purifier of silver, and he will purify the sons of Levi and refine them like gold and silver, and they will bring offerings in righteousness to the LORD.
Isaiah 1: 25 I will turn my hand against you and will smelt away your dross as with lye and remove all your alloy.
Zechariah 13:9 And I will put this third into the fire, and refine them as one refines silver, and test them as gold is tested. They will call upon my name, and I will answer them. I will say, ‘They are my people’; and they will say, ‘The LORD is my God.’”
Isaiah 54:15 If anyone stirs up strife, it is not from me; whoever stirs up strife with you shall fall because of you. 16 Behold, I have created the smith who blows the fire of coals and produces a weapon for its purpose. I have also created the ravager to destroy; 17 no weapon that is fashioned against you shall succeed, and you shall confute every tongue that rises against you in judgment. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD and their vindication from me, declares the LORD.”
Your Region has gone through a very deep fire that has forged you into His Workmanship, but you are also the Workman, the Smith, who can now complete His Work which He desires to bring forth outwardly from here, and to the whole nation.
Isaiah 46:2 They stoop; they bow down together; they cannot save the burden, but themselves go into captivity. 3 “Listen to me, O house of Jacob, all the remnant of the house of Israel, who have been borne by me from before your birth, carried from the womb; 4 even to your old age I am he, and to gray hairs I will carry you. I have made, and I will bear; I will carry and will save.
Isaiah 10:20 In that day the remnant of Israel and the survivors of the house of Jacob will no more lean on him who struck them, but will lean on the LORD, the Holy One of Israel, in truth.
2 Kings 19:30 And the surviving remnant of the house of Judah shall again take root downward and bear fruit upward.
Haggai 1:14 And the LORD stirred up the spirit of Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and the spirit of Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, and the spirit of all the remnant of the people. And they came and worked on the house of the LORD of hosts, their God,
Acts 15:16 “‘After this I will return, and I will rebuild the tent of David that has fallen; I will rebuild its ruins, and I will restore it, 17 that the remnant or rest of mankind may seek the Lord, and all the Gentiles who are called by my name, says the Lord, who makes these things 18 known from of old.’
3:41 pm. On our journey this last week driving to the Heartland again, Susan heard the words, “Falling Fire.” Several times the Lord spoke it. Then fire began to fall in the Spirit and the Presence of the Lord filled the car. Later, the Lord showed a vision of a large arm coming down and piercing the veil over the earth, the arm reached down through over the Heartland. The arm had a large scroll in it’s hand. The voice of the Lord then said, “Get My Heart.” The Lord was offering the Heart of America the opportunity to get the Revelation of the Lord’s Heart, instead of it’s own natural heart.
The Lord then showed a major battle being waged in the area, of Envy and Jealousy. These two entities were major strongholds there and were preventing the church from coming into the knowledge of the Heart of the Lord and into the Love of God. Therefore the church was being prevented from being healed and from advancing. Humility and Repentance must be allowed to break the human hearts in order for the Lord’s Heart to be imparted fully. Then true Light and Love can break the final barriers in the Heartland. Envy and Jealousy were empowering the other strongholds in the Region, and once these two were defeated, the others would quickly lose their strength and effect and could easily be defeated. The Lord is after the Heart of the Church as well as the Heart of America.
The Lord then showed Susan that He had stepped through door #5 since the Word was released in August 2010, when we were in the Heartland before. He was now walking downwards to door #6. Next, the Lord said that in order for the last two doors to be penetrated, we were now in a “demolition phase.”
He then showed Susan a scene of Jesus standing around a very large table with blueprints and maps all spread out. Multitudes of angels were all standing around the table. Jesus was discussing the next phase in the construction process. As a building site contractor would give out orders in the various phases of construction, Jesus was doing this with the angels. Each angel had a specific task. He motioned for several angels to go and to set up dynamite and charges in various places. They were going to various places and were laying the dynamite and setting up the charges to bring down the final obstructions in the spirit that were in the way of the construction phase of the new building phase that was soon to begin within the church and in America.
Patrick said that this was seen in Jeremiah 1:9, 10. (The scroll from heaven being given through the veil)
The word of the LORD came to me, saying, 5 “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart; I appointed you as a prophet to the nations.” 6 “Alas, Sovereign LORD,” I said, “I do not know how to speak; I am too young.” 7 But the LORD said to me, “Do not say, ‘I am too young.’ You must go to everyone I send you to and say whatever I command you. 8 Do not be afraid of them, for I am with you and will rescue you,” declares the LORD. 9 Then the LORD reached out his hand and touched my mouth and said to me, “I have put my words in your mouth. 10 See, today I appoint you over nations and kingdoms to uproot and tear down, to destroy and overthrow, to build and to plant.”
The Lord said that there were 4 areas to now undergo further demolition: mindsets, spiritual strongholds, carnal structures, and obstructions. These were being dealt with now and would be torn down by the Lord in the last 2 doors that were left to get to the heart of America that was buried deep and choked with rubble and debris.
The “demolition” process can be seen in the context of 2 Corinthians 10:
4 The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. 5 We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ. 6 And we will be ready to punish every act of disobedience, once your obedience is complete. – Strongholds, arguments, pretenses, thoughts, and disobediences.
The “charges” are seen in Revelations Chapters 2 and 3.The Lord charging the church to clean up various areas and deal with it’s weaknesses and to strengthen what was also good. It is time to overcome and to triumph over the wiles and works of the enemy operating within the church.
The Lord is also charging the church and it’s leadership to repent, to clean up, and to grow up, and to begin to do the true works that He has called her to do, and to be faithful. He is also removing leadership and releasing new leadership.
Deuteronomy 31:14 and the Lord said to Moses, Behold, your days are nearing when you must die. Call Joshua and present yourselves at the Tent of Meeting, that I may give him his charge. And Moses and Joshua went and presented themselves at the Tent of Meeting. 15 And the Lord appeared in the Tent in a pillar of cloud, and the pillar of cloud stood over the door of the Tent. 16 And the Lord said to Moses, Behold, you shall sleep with your fathers, and this people will rise up and play the harlot after the strange gods of the land where they go to be among them; and they will forsake Me and break My covenant which I have made with them. 17 Then My anger will be kindled against them in that day, and I will forsake them and hide My face from them. And they shall be devoured, and many evils and troubles shall befall them, so that they will say in that day, Have not these evils come upon us because our God is not among us? 18 And I will surely hide My face in that day because of all the evil which they have done in turning to other gods. 19 And now write this song for yourselves and teach it to the Israelites; put it in their mouths, that this song may be a witness for Me against the Israelites. 20 For when I have brought them into the land which I swore to their fathers, a land flowing with milk and honey, and they have eaten and filled themselves and become fat, then they will turn to other gods and serve them, and despise and scorn Me and break My covenant. 21 And when many evils and troubles have befallen them, this sacred song will confront them as a witness, for it will never be forgotten from the mouths of their descendants. For I know their strong desire and the purposes which they are forming even now, before I have brought them into the land which I swore to give them. 22 Moses wrote this song the same day and taught it to the Israelites. 23 And Lord charged Joshua son of Nun, Be strong and courageous and firm, for you shall bring the Israelites into the land which I swore to give them, and I will be with you.
1Timothy 1:5 The aim of our charge is love that issues from a pure heart and a good conscience and a sincere faith. 18 This charge I entrust to you, Timothy, my child, in accordance with the prophecies previously made about you, that by them you may wage the good warfare, 19 holding faith and a good conscience. By rejecting this, some have made shipwreck of their faith,
1 Timothy 6:11 But as for you, O man of God, flee these things. Pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, steadfastness, gentleness.
12 Fight the good fight of the faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called and about which you made the good confession in the presence of many witnesses. 13 I charge you in the presence of God, who gives life to all things, and of Christ Jesus, who in his testimony before Pontius Pilate made the good confession, 14 to keep the commandment unstained and free from reproach until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ,
2 Timothy 2:14 Remind them of these things, and charge them before God not to quarrel about words, which does no good, but only ruins the hearers. 15 Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth.
1 Thessalonians 2:11 For you know how, like a father with his children, 12 we exhorted each one of you and encouraged you and charged you to walk in a manner worthy of God, who calls you into his own kingdom and glory. 13 And we also thank God constantly for this, that when you received the word of God, which you heard from us, you accepted it not as the word of men but as what it really is, the word of God, which is at work in you believers.
There are many places in scripture where the Lord either has a charge against us, or where He is charging or exhorting us to advance further in our faith and to mature in our progressive walks with Him.
In the timeframe of the Lord for the church and for the heart of America, the Lord is laying out the next phase of dealings to bring down the last of our excuses, our oppositions, and vain reasoning’s that are in the way of our hearts so that we can fully respond to Him.
He is also reminding us of our destiny and of our responsibility to walk with Him fully and faithfully in the earth. We must return to Him, to our first love, and also to our right path. We must lay hold of the vision that He has given to us each, and we must begin to co-labor with the Lord, together, to build according to His patterns and not to ours.
As we go through this last demolition phase, there will be tremendous explosions and mental and physical carnage as the last of the vestiges of our pride and our reason come tumbling down. This brings chaos and confusion at first, but when the dust settles it will bring within us a great clarity and establish stability within the hearts of Gods people. There will be natural explosions and great earthquakes in the earth this year and it will be the outward sign of this happening in the spirit realm and within the church on into the next year.
What will be seen as tremendous destruction in America is actually only part of a great construction plan that has been undergoing for awhile and we are just entering into the final phase of it. This will be a great, deep work but it will now be a quick work. Once the remaining rubble is fully cleared from the foundation, the rebuilding phase of the Lord will begin.
The angels in heaven were very excited about this. They were working very quickly and with great anticipation because they couldn’t wait to see what the church would become as it was being transformed by the Lord. This would then lead to the nation’s heart also receiving the needed clarity and healing also.
Ezra 1:2 “Thus says Cyrus king of Persia: The LORD, the God of heaven, has given me all the kingdoms of the earth, and he has charged me to build him a house at Jerusalem, which is in Judah. 3 Whoever is among you of all his people, may his God be with him, and let him go up to Jerusalem, which is in Judah, and rebuild the house of the LORD, the God of Israel- he is the God who is in Jerusalem. 4 And let each survivor, in whatever place he sojourns, be assisted by the men of his place with silver and gold, with goods and with beasts, besides freewill offerings for the house of God that is in Jerusalem.”
Acts 15:15 And with this the words of the prophets agree, just as it is written, 16 “‘After this I will return, and I will rebuild the tent of David that has fallen; I will rebuild its ruins, and I will restore it, 17 that the remnant of mankind may seek the Lord, and all the Gentiles who are called by my name, says the Lord, who makes these things.
Isaiah 61:1 The Spirit of the Sovereign LORD is on me, because the LORD has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners, 2 to proclaim the year of the LORD’s favor and the day of vengeance of our God, to comfort all who mourn, 3 and provide for those who grieve in Zion— to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of joy instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair. They will be called oaks of righteousness, a planting of the LORD for the display of his splendor. 4 They will rebuild the ancient ruins and restore the places long devastated; they will renew the ruined cities that have been devastated for generations.
What looks like great destruction, carnage, and chaos, is actually the very sign of the great construction phase of the Father for our nation, so He can save us. We just have to turn our hearts to Him.

He Would Not Listen
23 As Jehudi read three or four columns, the king would cut them off with a knife and throw them into the fire in the fire pot, until the entire scroll was consumed in the fire that was in the fire pot. 24 Yet neither the king nor any of his servants who heard all these words was afraid, nor did they tear their garments. 25 Even when Elnathan and Delaiah and Gemariah urged the king not to burn the scroll, he would not listen to them. 26 And the king commanded Jerahmeel the king’s son and Seraiah the son of Azriel and Shelemiah the son of Abdeel to seize Baruch the secretary and Jeremiah the prophet, but the LORD hid them.
(Jeremiah 36:23-26)
I must speak elliptically about a matter which is not yet in the news. A certain Jeremiah has been speaking truth, directly and privately, to the President of the United States. By his actions regarding Israel and the so-called ‘Palestinians’ (among other things), the President has shown that he is unwilling to listen, and that he is hostile to this truth.
I have recently learned that this Jeremiah is being deliberately, unexpectedly and quite abruptly cast out of the President’s confidence, and put in danger. It is hard to avoid the conclusion that this development is (at least partially) the result of what are, for the President, highly inconvenient and unwelcome truths spoken by this Jeremiah.
I mention all that to say this:
What we are observing in the news is just a part of a troubling picture being played out behind the scenes also. The president is “doubling down,” in the most determined way, against the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and His Christ, Y’Shuah. The die has been cast.
This individual will be hidden, just as Jeremiah was. The Lord has protected this person before in amazing ways. Nonetheless, I would covet your prayers for this person’s safety, and that the Word of Truth which this person speaks, causes more men and women to turn to Christ in this hour.

Alarming Number of Disasters Striking World “Food Baskets”
May 16, 2011
Holly Deyo
Dear Friends and Readers of Millennium-Ark,
For the last 5 years, we have posted countless articles covering both natural disasters and their impact on our food supplies as well as on many other timely topics. After several decades of monitoring these events, it’s hard to convey how shocked we are by the sheer number of disasters that have occurred just in the first 4 months of 2011.
Yesterday, all day, I spent analyzing natural disasters and plotted them against our food belts. Never, ever, have I seen so many federally declared disasters this early in the year.
The DHS/FEMA maps were defined by 2 colors: blue signified no disasters (to distinguish the disaster-free areas from water, they are shown in white below) and yellow indicated declared disasters. Map after map, state after state were mostly yellow. Surely this must be an error? Thinking through the numerous news items on Earth Changes, with sinking feeling, I knew they were correct. It was only when the state information was transferred to a single national map, the implications become uncomfortably clear.
Notice how many disasters have occurred in food-producing areas. They are striking the heart of our food growing regions. Many food crops have been wiped out by drought, flood, hail and freezes. These food destroyers are occurring in greater frequency and having larger impact. America’s food belts are taking mighty hits. Some growing areas will not recover this entire year.
It won’t matter if you don’t have work, can’t trade greenbacks for gold, have no access to Facebook or on-line shopping or whatever else you care to name – minus faith in God – if you don’t have clean water and food, civilization will quickly disintegrate around you. In the 2007-2008 food riots across the globe, we witnessed a mere taste of what to expect. The only difference is that WE, Americans and Canadians, enjoyed these precious commodities of bread, wheat, soybeans, corn – the staples of food supplies – without interruption. Countries that suffered natural disasters combined with economic catastrophe were either too poor to import these necessities or there was none to be had.
America is one of THE largest food exporters. Now supplies in our country are getting creamed with one weather event after another. Crops are either hammered by drought or literally inundated by FEET of water. Some farmers still can’t get their crops in the ground because the land is too soggy – never mind the 3 MILLION acres that are now submerged due to the unending, unmerciful rain and flooding in the Midwest. Still there is no let-up in sight. Many farmers’ crops are wiped for this entire year. There will be no second shot at planting.
Now look at the food growing areas laid over the disasters. There is hardly any crop region that hasn’t experienced a natural disaster in 2011. It paints a very unsettling picture.
Unprecedented freezes took a lot of Mexico’s produce that supplies huge quantities of fresh fruits and veggies to North America. On a lesser scale, late spring freezes have wiped out Colorado’s apricots and California also took a hit on their produce.
Conversely, Texas, one of the backbone states for cattle, is experiencing the worst drought in decades forcing ranchers to sell herds early. In the short term, this will plummet the cost of beef, but next year, when cattlemen try to replenish herds, prices will be at a premium and you, the consumer, will see these huge price increases at the butcher.
Last year we watched in disbelief as Russia suffered massive drought that brought raging fires to their country. Russia who is usually a large grain supplier, not only placed a year-long ban on exports, but they were forced to purchase grain from other countries. By the end of last year, they’d lost nearly 40% of their crops and imported 3.5 million tonnes of grain. The export ban is in effect at least through this July
Last year in Australia, another huge food producer, was struck with massive rains. These floods crippled food supplies. Today, conditions are reversed. Drought rears its head again.
Grim Global Grain Outlook
Tuesday,
Bloomberg gave a rather dark assessment of global grain conditions:
Gardens – Good Insurance
Whispers of civil unrest are rattling global markets. Look where prices are even now – the highest in nearly a decade and the year is not even half over.
This weekend, and for the last several weeks, Stan and I have enlarged our fruit and vegetable gardens doubling them. By using raised beds and biointensive methods as described in Garden Gold where you cram a lot of seeds and seedlings together, you net big yields from little areas. Even people with very limited space can enjoy lush, bountiful veggie gardens.
In April friends from Montana had brought us fruit bushes and fruit trees along with non-hybrid herbs and potatoes she’s grown for 40 years. We happily incorporated them into our growing gardens appreciating what they will produce.
Saturday, as I sweated over chiseling a hole in the crummy dirt here that passes as soil, a neighbor good naturedly joked, Hey, when are you gonna eat that? Yes, the new Redflame and Concord grape bushes were small, but with a little TLC, sun, water and fertilizer, we’ll enjoy grapes, jelly and wine in no time.
I pounded out another new hole and wondered absently how glib the neighbor will be when food conditions get really tough and he knocks on our door for help. (Let me share that we totally remove the poor quality dirt [read that as 'tan concrete'] and replace it was Garden Gold’s Super Soil recipe. It would take several years to amend it properly so it’s just easier to ditch the poor dirt and replace it.) Not surprisingly, these neighbors are Wisconsin transplants where water is plentiful and disasters were few. They’ve had few points of reference. However, things have changed and nearly 3/4 of Wisconsin has already experienced federally declared natural disasters this year.
In addition to the existing orchard, fruit-bearing bushes and raised beds, last year we started an asparagus patch. They need a year to establish themselves and then you have a wonderful, vitamin-rich crop that comes up year after year and they beat the socks off grocery store asparagus for tenderness.
Containers, No Brainers
Two weeks ago for a neighbor who’d had surgery we took her two container-planted tomatoes. They are Italian so naturally we gave them Romas. You should have seen her face light up! Being Brooklyn transplants, Pat never had a garden, but since the tomatoes were in pots they were something she could manage even in her debilitated state. These will give her fresh fragrant TASTY tomatoes, unlike the grocery store trash that fills your belly but not your soul. It will also give her a sense of accomplishment that she can now raise some of her own food and perhaps encourage her to try a real garden. Flowers die, fruit baskets disappear, but these plants she’ll enjoy for many months.
We also have planted six 5-gallon containers with tomatoes and peppers. They’ll live outside till bad weather requires them to come inside. For the first time in years, we’ll enjoy wonderful tasting veggies all through winter instead of grocery stores’ tasteless offerings.
Several months ago, we ordered in a TON of seeds. We purchased both hybrids for this year and non-hybrids for upcoming growing seasons. The extra seeds we’ll keep in the freezer to extend to maximum storage life. These are unsettled times and we promise, things will only get more challenging. We are seeing the End of this Age balanced on a banana peel.
With these maps in mind, we encourage you to think outside the comfort zone and envision how you would fix dinner and with what… without going to the grocery store. Don’t let it overwhelm you. Be courageous and consider your family, not your fears. Reset your priorities and order foods that you can’t grow. Plant your gardens now, while you have leisure time. Get the family involved and make it a fun project, not one borne of necessity. Time is always shorter than we think…

HOWDY, Dear Hearts,
Would like y’all’s thoughts and impressions on the following.
Please look carefully at the following maps and see if you notice any commonalities from the Southern 3/4ths of California East up toward the top North East corner of Utah and back down through the upper North West 1/2 of Arizona back to Southern California.
What similarities might there be in the two maps?
FIRST–THE QUAKE MAP FOR TODAY–24TH MAY 2011
NEXT, THE PURPORTED NAVY MAP FROM JOHN MOORE ON YOUTUBE:
Am looking at gross boundary sorts of similarity and/or directional/slant similarities.
will give my responses after some others respond. Maybe before.
Thx in advance.
Evidently no one is interested in playing . . .
It appears to me that the line/cluster of quakes from the gulf of Baja up to about Santa Barbara . . . has a bit of a reach toward the cluster reaching down from the Western angle of Nevada.
Then there’s the scattered line/cluster from about Las Vegas up toward the South Western Corner of Wyoming.
The parameters of those clusters are not far off from the South Eastern boundary of the blue body of water concerned on the “Navy” map.
Further, the cluster/line of quakes on the coast from San Francisco up toward Oregon is on the Western edge of the finger/peninsula of land sticking down from Oregon in the Navy Map between the Eastern line/cluster of quakes near the CA/Nevada border–with no quakes in between where the finger of land is projected to extend thru.
ENGINEERS REQUEST PERMISSION TO SPEAK FREELY REGARDING WORLD TRADE BUILDING 7:

Engineers Request Permission to Speak Freely Regarding World Trade Building 7
Washington’s Blog
Preface: This essay does not question whether Bin Laden and Al Qaeda attacked us on September 11, 2001, or whether Iran, Saudi Arabia or another nation-state had a hand in the attacks. It focuses solely on a peripheral issue regarding the third building which fell on that terrible day.
Former commander-in-chief President Bush said:
Indeed, the 9/11 Commission was warned not to probe too deeply. For example, ACLU, FireDogLake’s Marcy Wheeler and RawStory reported (quoting RawStory):
The current commander-in-chief, Barack Obama, has also warned against questioning 9/11:
OBAMA WARNS NOT TO QUESTION 911 STORY:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xhoEO1Avl-o&feature=related
As anyone in the military knows, you can’t give your opinion unless you get first “permission to speak freely”.
We’re not in the military. However, I am not entirely sure that matters, given that speaking out against government policies may be considered a type of terrorism in America today.
Many hundreds of high-level military officers, intelligence officers, congressmen, legal scholars and experts have broken the commander-in-chief’s orders not to question the government’s official narrative regarding 9/11. And see this and this.
But neither Bush nor Obama has instructed us not to discuss World Trade Center Building 7. Indeed, they have never once mentioned the fact that a third building collapsed on 9/11 (and the 9/11 Commission never mentioned it either), even though that building was not hit by a plane.
And no one was killed when Building 7 collapsed. As such, discussions of why Building 7 fell does not question Al Qaeda’s responsibility for the 3,000 deaths of innocent Americans which occurred on 9/11. It doesn’t even touch on U.S. military affairs since 9/11, since no wars or anti-terror campaigns were launched to avenge anything which happened in connection with Building 7.
For these reasons, I will take the commander-in-chiefs’ silence on this subject as permission to speak freely. And the family members who lost loved ones on 9/11 want this topic discussed.
Moreover, if Building 7 collapsed for reasons other than the official explanation, that does not necessarily show nefarious intent. For example, Paul K. Trousdale – a structural engineer with decades of experience – says:
Here It Is
Have you ever seen Building 7 collapse? Here’s footage from several different angles:
BUILDING 7 COLLAPSE VIDEOS FROM SEVERAL DIFFERENT ANGLES:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bWorDrTC0Qg&feature=player_embedded
Top Experts Say Official Explanation Makes No Sense
Numerous structural engineers – the people who know the most about office building vulnerabilities and accidents – say that the official explanation of why building 7 at the World Trade Center collapsed on 9/11 is “impossible”, “defies common logic” and “violates the law of physics”:

Greetings!!!
These Words were given to the Heartland Areas when we traveld there to minister last August and also this March. The Lord is doing His Word, and we must also do our parts. It is time for the People of God to rise up for God is at work! The Lord has a Diving Construction Plan for America. We must seek His Face and know that He is for us, with us, and working it all out, as we seek His Face. -Susan
The Little Rock, Arkansas and Stillwell, Oklahoma Word -08-23-10
The Lord reminded Susan before she came down south to the Heartland to do 3 meetings this week, was that He was going to re-start the Heart of America as it had stopped beating.
He showed it to her in this manner…Susan saw a funeral procession being held in a large city and it was a bright sunny clear day, with a slight wind blowing. The street was lined with onlookers who watched a draped casket go by them down the street. It seemed to Susan that this was a national vision of a singular event. The whole nation was represented by this single scene…..anyways, the people were silent, not moving or weeping. Just watching it go by. The air was somber and matter of fact. I asked the Lord who had died. The Lord said to me, “Not who, but what has died is the correct question.”
The Lord then paused, and continued, “This Nation has lost it’s vision and their vision has died. The Heart of America is no longer beating the same as My Heart beats for her. Our heart’s are no longer one in Covenant, or are they synchronized with My Will for her as a nation. I must re-start their National Heart, and reawaken their Vision to be able to see clearly again.”
Then she saw a flat map of America lying down on the ground and she was above it looking downwards at it. A huge non motorized lawn mower, the old fashioned reel type, was steadily mowing a strip of grass all the way across the middle of America from East to West, right across the middle like a belt would be around the waist. Then it started at the top of America and mowed downwards from North to South till it had mowed a solid strip of grass. When it was done, it looked like a cross of mowed grass top to bottom, and across end to end right down and across the middle of the nation in all four directions.
Then a large red ribbon came down and went into the freshly mowed areas and it wrapped around the top to bottom and from end to end, much like a ribbon would tie up a bundle or gift box would. Then she saw Jesus was walking up a long road dressed much like a traveler would be and He had a long stick in His hand. He went up to the nation that was all tied up and He bent down and picked it up like a small bundle and He slipped it onto the end of His Stick and threw it over His shoulders like a hobo would a bundle and He carried the national bundle away on his shoulders and walked down the road with it.
This vision shows the process of restoration that only Jesus can bring to us as a Nation and as a People. His Administering Shoulders or His Government, and His Capable Hands will carry us through this next Season. He loves us enough to carry us, and to fully minister to us, until we are fully healed.
Luke 15:
1 Now the tax collectors and sinners were all drawing near to hear him. 2 And the Pharisees and the scribes grumbled, saying, “This man receives sinners and eats with them.” 3 So he told them this parable: 4 “What man of you, having a hundred sheep, if he has lost one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the open country, and go after the one that is lost, until he finds it? 5 And when he has found it, he lays it on his shoulders, rejoicing. 6 And when he comes home, he calls together his friends and his neighbors, saying to them, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep that was lost.’ 7 Just so, I tell you, there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who need no repentance.
While driving to the Arkansas region on Monday, the Lord began to give Susan several small visions that repeated throughout Monday and Tuesday until the final piece was revealed to the understanding shortly after the time they arrived in Fort Smith.
The first thing the Lord showed Susan was a scene where Jesus went up to what looked like a tornado or storm shelter that was built into the ground and the top portion and the door was above ground. He went up to the door and reached for the door handle and pulled the door open and went down into the shelter. After a few steps inside He came to another door. So He reached out and pulled that door open as He did the first one. He entered the second door and went down a few stairs and came to a third door. He reached out and pulled the third door open and went down the few stairs just like the first and second ones. Then He came to a fourth door. I saw Him stop and smile. I knew that there was seven doors total that He would eventually have to go through to get to the bottom of where He was headed.
Then He revealed to me that this access point and shelter that He went down into was a picture of the Heart of America. It had seven layers of stuff built up over the heart, so that it was buried very deep. Jesus was slowly making His way down to the very depth of the Nation’s Heart to not only heal it, but to also re-start it. The nation’s Heart was not beating right, and it was dying under the weight of the layers that had been allowed to be encrusted upon it over time. Jesus was half way through the encrusted layers of the Nation’s heart at this point in the process of His dealings with us as a national whole.
Song of Solomon 5:2 I slept, but my heart was awake. A sound! My beloved is knocking. “Open to me, my sister, my love, my dove, my perfect one, for my head is wet with dew, my locks with the drops of the night.”
Luke 12: 36 and be like men who are waiting for their master to come home from the wedding feast, so that they may open the door to him at once when he comes and knocks.
Revelations 3:19 Those whom I love, I reprove and discipline, so be zealous and repent. 20 Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and eat with him, and he with me. 21 The one who conquers, I will grant him to sit with me on my throne, as I also conquered and sat down with my Father on his throne.
After they arrived in Fort Smith and had retired for the night. The Lord woke Susan up and continued showing her more pieces of the unfolding revelation for the Heartland Areas of the Nation.
The Lord showed her in a dream that she was in a huge cavern somewhere under ground standing with Jesus. He pointed upwards and above them was the ceiling and walls of the cavern. It was layered with many layers of crust and debris over time and looked much like rough cement had been poured sloppily all over and had been left to dry as it was without smoothing it out anywhere. It was all haphazard inside and very coarse looking. It also looked like the whole walls and ceiling of the large cavern was going to cave in at any minute from the weight of the layers that had built up inside.
The Lord smiled at me knowingly, and He reached up and pulled an unseen rope that I hadn’t noticed before, that hung from above, and when He pulled the rope I heard a loud peal or mighty sound and the whole ground shook and the entire cavern shook and all of the walls shook and the whole thing came crashing down around us, or so I thought. I was shocked and alarmed. The Lord just smiled and stood there while it all shattered and fell down around us. We were not harmed in anyway in the vision. But it was a mess inside when it stopped shaking. The cavern did not cave in as I had thought it would by the great noise and the great earthquake. It had jarred all the layers and unkempt debris that had clung to the walls of the cavern loose and it had broken it all up and it all fell to the floor of the cavern. As I looked up, I then saw that the cavern was shining. It had a beautiful crystal like surface and it was brilliant. Jesus then moved His Hand and a great wind swept through the cavern and cleared out all of the debris. Soon, I saw that the walls and the floor also was made up of the same crystal like material that shone beautifully.
The Lord then said to Me, “This is a symbol of the Heart of your nation and of My Church in America. It has waxed cold and has lost it’s founding vision. The Heart is caked over and is clogged up with it’s own pursuits and worldly desires so that it no longer functions as I first created her to function among the other nations of the world. Her light has dimmed and she cannot see clearly anymore. She was birthed in the earth to be a great Light for Me. I have begun a very hard, and a very deep work, to remove those things from her and from within her, to cause her to become whole and healthy again. This dream shows you just how deep the roots are and the hardness is, and how great the brokenness is. But nothing is too hard for Me, as I am in full control of the whole process, and this is My Country and My Covenant People live within her. So, I will cause a great shock to now come, that will be intense and it will dislodge the final remaining layers that are left to break through. I will cause this great shock to jump-start the national heart, and to bring an awakening to the People, that will cause them to choose to stand up again and to see clearly where they are in My eyes. This process will bring a season of increased trauma at first, but it will ultimately bring wholeness and soundness again in My Plan for you as a Nation. Do you understand this?” I nodded yes.
He then said, “You are here in the Heartland for My Purposes. I have spoken many times, through many vessels, in many ways, to this nation, but this nation has refused to hear Me over the years and in the Seasons that I have brought her through, and My Church has not fully responded to Me or has sought My Face fully. So, I have shown you this to warn them of My next Season that I will bring her through and My Purposes in it. I am here to bring Life to the National Heart, and to awaken the heart of the Church that has also slumbered. I am here to heal their Vision and to bring soundness to their walks and paths. But they must embrace Me in it. You are to tell them what I have shown you, for it comes shortly.”
Then Jesus began to shine brilliantly within the cavern of the heart as we were both standing in deep in the Heartland of America. When He did, the whole cavern interior was lit up and it then glowed with His Light like the beautiful crystal that He created her to be. It was so beautiful that I gasped. Then He smiled, and was satisfied. The dream ended.
The Sign of Stillwell – “Still-Well” – Oklahoma:
2 Peter 1:19 And we have the prophetic word [made] firmer still. You will do well to pay close attention to it as to a lamp shining in a dismal (squalid and dark) place, until the day breaks through [the gloom] and the Morning Star rises (comes into being) in your hearts.
You are to be a “Still Well” or a Firm Well”. – A Firm, Solid Place that brings forth Living Waters.
Through great hardship and adversity the Father has made you here today strong and ready to now be able to shine for His End- Time Purposes. This region is to be like a Lamp burning, or shining in a dark and hard time, as a Light of Healing and of Faith. This Region is to be a Hub of Healing, and also a Hub of releasing the Knowledge of God’s Heart, and the Expression of the Heartbeat of God, outward unto the Nation. God wants a clear sound, and a clear prophetic voice, a clear expression, and a clear resonation of the Lord to now emerge, and it will be fully birthed forth from the Heartland again, but it will come by His Hand and not by any man’s.
The Sign of Fort Smith: “A Forged Smith”:
God has been forging the Smith’s first – who will now fashion or forge a people into a glorious vessel for the Master.
Proverbs 25:4 Take away the dross from the silver, and the smith has material for a vessel; 5 take away the wicked from the presence of the king, and his throne will be established in righteousness.
Malachi 3:2 But who can endure the day of his coming, and who can stand when he appears? For he is like a refiner’s fire and like fullers’ soap. 3 He will sit as a refiner and purifier of silver, and he will purify the sons of Levi and refine them like gold and silver, and they will bring offerings in righteousness to the LORD.
Isaiah 1: 25 I will turn my hand against you and will smelt away your dross as with lye and remove all your alloy.
Zechariah 13:9 And I will put this third into the fire, and refine them as one refines silver, and test them as gold is tested. They will call upon my name, and I will answer them. I will say, ‘They are my people’; and they will say, ‘The LORD is my God.’”
Isaiah 54:15 If anyone stirs up strife, it is not from me; whoever stirs up strife with you shall fall because of you. 16 Behold, I have created the smith who blows the fire of coals and produces a weapon for its purpose. I have also created the ravager to destroy; 17 no weapon that is fashioned against you shall succeed, and you shall confute every tongue that rises against you in judgment. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD and their vindication from me, declares the LORD.”
Your Region has gone through a very deep fire that has forged you into His Workmanship, but you are also the Workman, the Smith, who can now complete His Work which He desires to bring forth outwardly from here, and to the whole nation.
Isaiah 46:2 They stoop; they bow down together; they cannot save the burden, but themselves go into captivity. 3 “Listen to me, O house of Jacob, all the remnant of the house of Israel, who have been borne by me from before your birth, carried from the womb; 4 even to your old age I am he, and to gray hairs I will carry you. I have made, and I will bear; I will carry and will save.
Isaiah 10:20 In that day the remnant of Israel and the survivors of the house of Jacob will no more lean on him who struck them, but will lean on the LORD, the Holy One of Israel, in truth.
2 Kings 19:30 And the surviving remnant of the house of Judah shall again take root downward and bear fruit upward.
Haggai 1:14 And the LORD stirred up the spirit of Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and the spirit of Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, and the spirit of all the remnant of the people. And they came and worked on the house of the LORD of hosts, their God,
Acts 15:16 “‘After this I will return, and I will rebuild the tent of David that has fallen; I will rebuild its ruins, and I will restore it, 17 that the remnant or rest of mankind may seek the Lord, and all the Gentiles who are called by my name, says the Lord, who makes these things 18 known from of old.’

*******************************
3/8/11 Arkansas/Oklahoma Notes
3:41 pm. On our journey this last week driving to the Heartland again, Susan heard the words, “Falling Fire.” Several times the Lord spoke it. Then fire began to fall in the Spirit and the Presence of the Lord filled the car. Later, the Lord showed a vision of a large arm coming down and piercing the veil over the earth, the arm reached down through over the Heartland. The arm had a large scroll in it’s hand. The voice of the Lord then said, “Get My Heart.” The Lord was offering the Heart of America the opportunity to get the Revelation of the Lord’s Heart, instead of it’s own natural heart.
The Lord then showed a major battle being waged in the area, of Envy and Jealousy. These two entities were major strongholds there and were preventing the church from coming into the knowledge of the Heart of the Lord and into the Love of God. Therefore the church was being prevented from being healed and from advancing. Humility and Repentance must be allowed to break the human hearts in order for the Lord’s Heart to be imparted fully. Then true Light and Love can break the final barriers in the Heartland. Envy and Jealousy were empowering the other strongholds in the Region, and once these two were defeated, the others would quickly lose their strength and effect and could easily be defeated. The Lord is after the Heart of the Church as well as the Heart of America.
The Lord then showed Susan that He had stepped through door #5 since the Word was released in August 2010, when we were in the Heartland before. He was now walking downwards to door #6. Next, the Lord said that in order for the last two doors to be penetrated, we were now in a “demolition phase.”
He then showed Susan a scene of Jesus standing around a very large table with blueprints and maps all spread out. Multitudes of angels were all standing around the table. Jesus was discussing the next phase in the construction process. As a building site contractor would give out orders in the various phases of construction, Jesus was doing this with the angels. Each angel had a specific task. He motioned for several angels to go and to set up dynamite and charges in various places. They were going to various places and were laying the dynamite and setting up the charges to bring down the final obstructions in the spirit that were in the way of the construction phase of the new building phase that was soon to begin within the church and in America.
Patrick said that this was seen in Jeremiah 1:9, 10. (The scroll from heaven being given through the veil)
The word of the LORD came to me, saying, 5 “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart; I appointed you as a prophet to the nations.” 6 “Alas, Sovereign LORD,” I said, “I do not know how to speak; I am too young.” 7 But the LORD said to me, “Do not say, ‘I am too young.’ You must go to everyone I send you to and say whatever I command you. 8 Do not be afraid of them, for I am with you and will rescue you,” declares the LORD. 9 Then the LORD reached out his hand and touched my mouth and said to me, “I have put my words in your mouth. 10 See, today I appoint you over nations and kingdoms to uproot and tear down, to destroy and overthrow, to build and to plant.”
The Lord said that there were 4 areas to now undergo further demolition: mindsets, spiritual strongholds, carnal structures, and obstructions. These were being dealt with now and would be torn down by the Lord in the last 2 doors that were left to get to the heart of America that was buried deep and choked with rubble and debris.
The “demolition” process can be seen in the context of 2 Corinthians 10:
4 The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. 5 We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ. 6 And we will be ready to punish every act of disobedience, once your obedience is complete. – Strongholds, arguments, pretenses, thoughts, and disobediences.
The “charges” are seen in Revelations Chapters 2 and 3.The Lord charging the church to clean up various areas and deal with it’s weaknesses and to strengthen what was also good. It is time to overcome and to triumph over the wiles and works of the enemy operating within the church.
The Lord is also charging the church and it’s leadership to repent, to clean up, and to grow up, and to begin to do the true works that He has called her to do, and to be faithful. He is also removing leadership and releasing new leadership.
Deuteronomy 31:14 and the Lord said to Moses, Behold, your days are nearing when you must die. Call Joshua and present yourselves at the Tent of Meeting, that I may give him his charge. And Moses and Joshua went and presented themselves at the Tent of Meeting. 15 And the Lord appeared in the Tent in a pillar of cloud, and the pillar of cloud stood over the door of the Tent. 16 And the Lord said to Moses, Behold, you shall sleep with your fathers, and this people will rise up and play the harlot after the strange gods of the land where they go to be among them; and they will forsake Me and break My covenant which I have made with them. 17 Then My anger will be kindled against them in that day, and I will forsake them and hide My face from them. And they shall be devoured, and many evils and troubles shall befall them, so that they will say in that day, Have not these evils come upon us because our God is not among us? 18 And I will surely hide My face in that day because of all the evil which they have done in turning to other gods. 19 And now write this song for yourselves and teach it to the Israelites; put it in their mouths, that this song may be a witness for Me against the Israelites. 20 For when I have brought them into the land which I swore to their fathers, a land flowing with milk and honey, and they have eaten and filled themselves and become fat, then they will turn to other gods and serve them, and despise and scorn Me and break My covenant. 21 And when many evils and troubles have befallen them, this sacred song will confront them as a witness, for it will never be forgotten from the mouths of their descendants. For I know their strong desire and the purposes which they are forming even now, before I have brought them into the land which I swore to give them. 22 Moses wrote this song the same day and taught it to the Israelites. 23 And Lord charged Joshua son of Nun, Be strong and courageous and firm, for you shall bring the Israelites into the land which I swore to give them, and I will be with you.
1Timothy 1:5 The aim of our charge is love that issues from a pure heart and a good conscience and a sincere faith. 18 This charge I entrust to you, Timothy, my child, in accordance with the prophecies previously made about you, that by them you may wage the good warfare, 19 holding faith and a good conscience. By rejecting this, some have made shipwreck of their faith,
1 Timothy 6:11 But as for you, O man of God, flee these things. Pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, steadfastness, gentleness.
12 Fight the good fight of the faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called and about which you made the good confession in the presence of many witnesses. 13 I charge you in the presence of God, who gives life to all things, and of Christ Jesus, who in his testimony before Pontius Pilate made the good confession, 14 to keep the commandment unstained and free from reproach until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ,
2 Timothy 2:14 Remind them of these things, and charge them before God not to quarrel about words, which does no good, but only ruins the hearers. 15 Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth.
1 Thessalonians 2:11 For you know how, like a father with his children, 12 we exhorted each one of you and encouraged you and charged you to walk in a manner worthy of God, who calls you into his own kingdom and glory. 13 And we also thank God constantly for this, that when you received the word of God, which you heard from us, you accepted it not as the word of men but as what it really is, the word of God, which is at work in you believers.
There are many places in scripture where the Lord either has a charge against us, or where He is charging or exhorting us to advance further in our faith and to mature in our progressive walks with Him.
In the timeframe of the Lord for the church and for the heart of America, the Lord is laying out the next phase of dealings to bring down the last of our excuses, our oppositions, and vain reasoning’s that are in the way of our hearts so that we can fully respond to Him.
He is also reminding us of our destiny and of our responsibility to walk with Him fully and faithfully in the earth. We must return to Him, to our first love, and also to our right path. We must lay hold of the vision that He has given to us each, and we must begin to co-labor with the Lord, together, to build according to His patterns and not to ours.
As we go through this last demolition phase, there will be tremendous explosions and mental and physical carnage as the last of the vestiges of our pride and our reason come tumbling down. This brings chaos and confusion at first, but when the dust settles it will bring within us a great clarity and establish stability within the hearts of Gods people. There will be natural explosions and great earthquakes in the earth this year and it will be the outward sign of this happening in the spirit realm and within the church on into the next year.
What will be seen as tremendous destruction in America is actually only part of a great construction plan that has been undergoing for awhile and we are just entering into the final phase of it. This will be a great, deep work but it will now be a quick work. Once the remaining rubble is fully cleared from the foundation, the rebuilding phase of the Lord will begin.
The angels in heaven were very excited about this. They were working very quickly and with great anticipation because they couldn’t wait to see what the church would become as it was being transformed by the Lord. This would then lead to the nation’s heart also receiving the needed clarity and healing also.
Ezra 1:2 “Thus says Cyrus king of Persia: The LORD, the God of heaven, has given me all the kingdoms of the earth, and he has charged me to build him a house at Jerusalem, which is in Judah. 3 Whoever is among you of all his people, may his God be with him, and let him go up to Jerusalem, which is in Judah, and rebuild the house of the LORD, the God of Israel- he is the God who is in Jerusalem. 4 And let each survivor, in whatever place he sojourns, be assisted by the men of his place with silver and gold, with goods and with beasts, besides freewill offerings for the house of God that is in Jerusalem.”
Acts 15:15 And with this the words of the prophets agree, just as it is written, 16 “‘After this I will return, and I will rebuild the tent of David that has fallen; I will rebuild its ruins, and I will restore it, 17 that the remnant of mankind may seek the Lord, and all the Gentiles who are called by my name, says the Lord, who makes these things.
Isaiah 61:1 The Spirit of the Sovereign LORD is on me, because the LORD has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners, 2 to proclaim the year of the LORD’s favor and the day of vengeance of our God, to comfort all who mourn, 3 and provide for those who grieve in Zion— to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of joy instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair. They will be called oaks of righteousness, a planting of the LORD for the display of his splendor. 4 They will rebuild the ancient ruins and restore the places long devastated; they will renew the ruined cities that have been devastated for generations.
What looks like great destruction, carnage, and chaos, is actually the very sign of the great construction phase of the Father for our nation, so He can save us. We just have to turn our hearts to Him.
