I read this site quite frequently, but seldom post...I usually don't have dreams or visions or anything noteworthy. I used to, long ago, and they were accurate. I just haven't seen anything in a long time, that seemed to actually come from 'a higher source'.
Last night was very troubling...and it had the old feeling to it, like this was significant, so thought I would post it. I think I know what a lot of it meant, or referred to...but it was like cramming for a major test on world history, with only a few hours to accomplish it...just so much data, so many dates, and so many explanations...and so much of it already slipping away from me this morning...thought I'd write it down.
I'll deliver this in the fragmented way I remembered it...it is not linear, it is a bucket of fragments, non-sequential...make of it what you will, again, I understand what it was meaning...just not completely remembering all that was said.
This begins the dream-vision-memory:
Los Angeles...much of South and Central California, no more. Magnitude 11. This is an afterthought to man's destruction currently underway...not before, but during.
New York...meteor...133-million. Eastern Seaboard. I see fire, I see water....I see large ships flipped upside down, and the night 'glows' with orange light...from Boston to Jacksonville.
9 months...I see traffic circles...like Canada and Europe have. I see the number '270'...and the circle is clean, pristine, fully functional. I begin driving a white van through these circles...the numbers keep reducing...240...210...180...150...I see the number 57 and feel 'Belgium'...no...'Paris'...and see papers floating around in the wind...debris...trash unkempt...no one is cleaning anymore, desolate, abandoned...fear, violence...hiding...'America is no more, I turn my attention to Europe...it will not last so long'...
Something monstrous walks Central America...local peoples are terrified...
Bible dates are accurate, but none have interpreted them correctly...
'he seeks to change the time and the dates'...July and August came from the Caesars...September is 7th month...December 10th, but '2 witnesses are retirees already'...they shall not live much longer. So many have known nothing, and screamed so loudly, you never even heard them. Their voices were faint, and you didn't like what they said, so you banned them, squelched them, ignored them, because it wasn't sweet to your ears. They were 'M' and 'B' of the US, for Nostradamus was also told this in forewarning...there was more than one path to give you news, and you ignored them all. When they die, you will send gifts one-to-another in celebration...not in December, but in July...for this date, you can easily find in Hebrew Tragedies...for Tamuz is the month of great sorrow.
Beware the voice who promises the world answers, and they are so sweet on the ear that the world welcomes them as god...for they are not. You were not promised answers to fixing this world...you were promised all answers when you left...mark well the difference. Wide is the gate and broad the path to destruction. Likewise, a camel shall sooner pass through the eye of a needle, than the rich enter Heaven. These simple tests, alone, shall guide you in knowing much of all truths...for the Son was not wealthy in Earthly measure...nor has any true prophet been. Measure your 'deliverer' by his wealth and esteem to earthly men...
This is the end of what I saw, that I still remember...other than told to 'tremble at what soon comes, even now'...
TWO LAMPSTANDS (Witnesses)….The Word of The Lord Spoken....Thus says The Lord: I have looked upon all the souls who dwell under Heaven, I have waited upon those who call of themselves by My name, calling to them. Yet only blasphemy is heard, many harsh and unfeeling answers.
Therefore let the dead care for the dead, and let the mocker fall in the midst of their calamity; let every scoffer walk in the valley with the desolate. For My anger sleeps no longer, and the fire of The Lord is kindled! For the cities of men have raged against Me, and the city of innocent blood shall be torn in pieces! Says The Lord.
Behold, I called to the sea, to the great multitude Of waters, and there was no answer!...I shouted to the earth and blew the Trumpet upon The four winds of heaven, yet no cry was heard, No response was lifted up to Heaven!...Only raised fists were seen, many milling About gnashing upon their teeth, Lashing out against their neighbor!...So I turned My face away from them And set My back against the sea, And the earth, it was forsaken.
Then was a great cry lifted up, and oh such a sorrowful sound was heard! So I said to My two lampstands, “Take a coal from the fire which surrounds the altar, and eat of it. Consume it fully and go down. For I have made these people as kindling, and this multitude as wood, that they may come and fight against you, that they may be given up to the flame. Open your mouths wide that they may be consumed!”
For I have prepared an offering, lo it is prepared and waits for its time, says The Lord God of Israel. For indeed I tell you, lo, The Lord your God reveals it to you, Eliyahu and Moshe are about to come down! Says YAHUWAH.

Check out the Ethiopian Amaric calander, in about 2 months time it is the famous MAYA time, when their calander stops...
I had actually planned to depart this general thread, as it started more as a 'share a vision' than a desire to enter into a school circle on 'the right path' versus 'long argued concepts' that are erroneously ingrained in established religions. While I slept last night, I heard a simple sentence, 'go back and read what you have written, for it is no longer as you had first spoken'...and quite amazingly, many of my individual posts have been broken, re-arranged, even edited (I do not say 'kinda' in writing or speaking). In places, I am even replying to my own writing. This is manipulation, and speaks to why I am done now. I am not hostile, or 'inflated' as you say...
Good luck with your discussions here, I will refrain from further postings, before the 'editor' has me saying things I did not say, or not saying correctly what I did at first speak.
The time is very short...by year's end, and even before, horrors unlike those which have ever been recorded on this planet with strike...and few if any will see it for what it truly is. The half-hour of silencing the wind ENDS on July 15...this is where you are in prophecy, and both prophets will have left by then.
Goodbye.
Understand one very important thing that IS emphasized in the Bible: UNTIL THE WORDS ARE UNLOCKED, none will make sense of the Apocrypha. So many billions of hours wasted, so many people talking without having a clue...in the end, it means nothing until AT LEAST ONE comes that can tell the world what it means...which comes back to my first dream, they were here, they are old and about to die, and no one would listen to them. The sadness is the planet-sized train wreck coming because too many are trying to hide the information, cover up the information, over talk the information, or just blatantly ignore the information - for any to benefit from what was sent. It's not a grand moment, it's a terrible, childish, evil, pathetic moment!
We know NOTHING...no where NEAR what we think we do about the ethereal, God, his plan or design...because WE JUST WON'T LISTEN. The ULTIMATE proof of this I found in North Africa, many years ago...and it has literally tormented me...for with my extensive travel, very considerable college(s) education, and 'flexibility' to listen to and contemplate most anything I hear...I only was given the question, and a tease of the answer...and I have never found it. Here, I'll share it with you...for it give a horrible 'failing' feeling in the heart, and I am CONVINCED it was to teach humility, by knowing a question so simple, and being totally unable to answer it.
We know through the Bible that Jesus was Cruicifed by the Romans, who were overseeing Jerusalem at the time it occurred. We know the stories of Pontius Pilate, Judas Iscariot, even second-hand stories of legend, such as Casca Longinus...the Roman soldier who did pierce the side of Christ with the sword and water did run out...and whom, before Christ died, damned him to walk the earth, ceaselessly, until he did return...(very interesting story, that one...even was turned into a '$1 Novel series' on the fiction isle).
HOWEVER...there is one thing we have NEVER been asked by clergy. One thing at the centerpoint of this central-theme story that is the FOCUS of the New Testament...and that was simply this: What was the REAL PURPOSE, the REAL SIGNIFICANCE to the shape of the Crucifix? For those unaware, most Crucifixes in that time were 'X' not 'T' in shape...a 'T' shape is not stable in hard ground...it is difficult to stand, to move, to take down...and while there are plenty of examples of 'T' crucifixes in museum history, there are also also ample stories of 'X' crucifixes too...so, when we don't know what exact form-factor Jesus' crucifix actually took...why are we so ready to jump to the idea it was a 'T', specifically? Mark 15 only says that Simon 'bore his cross' (another example of 'what was are told happened, did not happen'...Jesus per Mark, did not bear his own cross)
Again, I happened to be in North Africa when a very studious cleric pointed this out to me...and my instant reply was just like anyone in America might have...."it's just a tangent of the story, it doesn't matter, does it?" The cleric laughed at me and said, 'all things matter...this is the Son of God who knew all things...planned all things...if he had wanted to die under the heels of an elephant, it would have been so. If he had wanted to die in the jaws of a lion, likewise, it would have been so. Now, ask yourself, why did he want his death to be on a 'cross'? I tell you, if you think hard enough on it, it will come to you...but know this...over 3-million were killed on crosses during the Roman reign, many were mothers, children...they even crucified newborn babies...ALSO WITHOUT SIN. Why would Jesus choose a crucifix as the way he was to die? I tell you, it is forgotten, and efforts were made to hide it, but there is design to this plan, it is not by accident.
In the 30 years of time since this was told to me...I have an interesting theory and possible answer...but only after searching MANY ancient works on the significance of what I have found.
Now, ask yourself...what was so important that he was crucified in this manner? It was not uniqueness. It was not for sake of 'absolute pain' (the Romans also drawn-and-quartered people...which is reputed with emolation, to be the two worst ways to actually be executed). So...what does the 'cross' actually symbolize, that we have kept until this very day (and no longer even understand what it means)?
I had several, when I was young...that is only one. Most have already come and gone, fulfilled in various 'interesting' ways (most were figurative, not literal)...but the one I remember most that was NOT, is where California slid into the Pacific as a result of a great earthquake, and a Tsunami destroyed almost all of the U.S. Eastern Seaboard...far more inland than you would imagine (a giant Tsunami, as it were)...though, that Tsunami may have been generated by undersea earthquakes, or it may have been the result of a meteor impact...I don't know, I didn't see the causation.
Long time ago (1977), the first 'dream' or 'vision' I had...happened to me while I was mowing my family's yard. Here I am, push-mowing the front yard (I remember it like yesterday)...and without word, reason or explanation, it was as if time stopped, the weather stopped (hot, bright, sunny day), and I felt nor heard anything near me (mind you, I have a 3.5 horsepower push mower running, in my hands, walking forward).
I look to the West, and see what can only be explained by those who didn't see it as a 'classical Michelangelo painting' of an 'old king' sitting on a golden throne, surrounded by at least a few dozen...all with golden shimmering auras, golden horns, scepters, rays of what could be described as 'light'...and the old one on the throne (who I couldn't see completely, other than his white beard...the light was so bright), spoke and said, 'the End Begins Now...'...and I felt that it was the 'mark of the last 40-years'...but that it wasn't completely '40-years', more like 40-something years....because, for whatever reason, there were adders or 'additions' not being taken into account in this statement...
To this point, I am convinced what I 'heard' was the declaration of the beginning of our (earth's) end...be it 30, 40 or even 50 years...I just don't think it extends past 50-55 years...just the feel I took from that.
It lasted a moment...and it was gone. I 'came out of it' (the vision)...and I'm standing in the front yard...center of it...the mower was not running, I was sweating, thirsty, and the mower's gas tank had ran out of gas. I was in the exact spot where the vision started...
Apparently, the mower had ran out of gas while I stood there. Since I filled it up, before I started, and I hadn't even gotten half the yard done, it would have been 30-45 minutes to 'drain the tank'. Nothing like that ever happened again to me...
Thank you for sharing your dream. While in Ojai California in either 2012 or 2013 I was reading Isaiah 24 to my grandson. It was a hot day so I went inside to get a drink of water. When I got near the sink to pour the water into my glass I happened to glance out the front window. Suddenly i felt the whole house moving back and forth. As i looked out window the movement was as much as 6 feet one way and 6 feet the other way. It stopped and then it quickly started again and the stopped. i actually thought there was a real earthquake. I stopped to pray and give some thought. I believe God showed me there will either two huge earthquakes or a big earthquake with another huge after shock. So when you said an 11 earthquake in California I believe that is correct.
If you like the 'creation' story (stories), no greater 'beginner research' can be found than researching 'the Beginning'. The Beginning story is how I started upon my own 'cognizant research' originally, after hearing the mid-20th Century story of how 'the Book of Enoch' came to be discovered, and what its REAL story was.
You see, far from 'some fable', the Book of Enoch is actually THE OLDEST BOOK known in the ancient texts (relative to Israel, Hebrews, the descendency of Adam, etc.) It has been verified to be over 1,000 years older than Genesis, in fact. How it came to exist in our 'modern time' is actually quite a miracle!
For over 1,000 years (at minimum), the Roman Catholic Church not only knew of the works of 'Enoch', but searched the world (like some 'Indiana Jones' movie script) for it...and they found FRAGMENTS OF IT, here, there...but at no place did they find all of it, nor did they find all the fragments combined, over all the world...and the pieces they did have went directly into the locked Vatican archives...none could read it, seek it, reach it...but the highest ranked in the Church. It was strongly rumored that in the mid-second millennium (1400's to 1800's), if they could have ever found ONE COPY, they would have archived it, produced a fake, disclaimed it as a 'minor work', and intentionally discredited it enough to ignore it. That they couldn't find ONE COMPLETE WORKING OF THE BOOK OF ENOCH, they never took that step...and it is a great thing that occurred.
In the 1950's, a man traveled over Africa seeking this same work...but not as a 'church scholar', but actually as a linguist of ancient languages. He wanted to validate 'Enochian' as a real ancient language...and he knew enough about its history, combined with enough money and financing, that he was able to search for years...UNTIL HE FOUND IT! What the Catholics never did, was ask other churches and denominations if THEY had ever encountered the work...for it was found IN ITS COMPLETE ENTIRETY in ETHIOPIA! It was, in fact, the 67th book of their PROTESTANT CHRISTIAN BIBLE!
So, within a few years (before 1960 came), he had it transcribed IN ITS FULLNESS into English. My own copy, and the one I highly recommend ANYONE purchase is the 2000-edition of Ronald K Brown's 'The Book of Enoch' (Amazon...around $25), ISBN-13:978-0967573700.
You see...Enoch is not 'some earlier work of different ilk', but it is in fact, the 'Adult Version' of Genesis! It 'names the names', it tells you what the 'watchers' did that caused God to NEVER FORGIVE THEM! It tells you the names of the fallen archangels, and their positions.
AND...it tells you POINT-BLANK the lie the Catholic Church has covered up, since Constantine was a child....
"And God told Enoch, 'Go to them and tell them that they shall not have my forgiveness', and unto AZAZEL (NOT LUCIFER) I PRESCRIBE ALL SIN!"
Lucifer is NOT the 'fallen' of legend...he wasn't even a watcher, nor on the work crew God assigned to come to earth and 'instruct men', in the first days...and when they did HORRIBLE THINGS, it was not Lucifer that God eternally damned...IT WAS AZAZEL!' This, from the mouth of God, to one of only two men who never died (for Enoch walked with God, and was no more, for God took him)...legend has it that the Arcangel Metatron, God's scribe, is in fact, the elevated form of Enoch! (but that's another story).
Needless to say...read the 'PG-13 Adult Version' of Genesis...by reading 'the Book of Enoch'. There is GREAT enlightenment in the book which by MOST true researchers, claim the book is AT LEAST 4,000 years old, if not older...
(it also explains the giants, what happened, how all of that happened, and more...better than any 'bestseller' you'll find on the news stands today!
As for the two witnesses, keep in mind, the Old Testament names them, specifically, Elijah and Emmanuel. Many assume these are either various names of the Son, or God, etc...but if you believe 'and the Son will be sent and his name shall be called Emmanuel', then Jesus does not fit this prophetic promise...so either Emmanuel has not come, or Jesus was not the Son...or (as I offered), is walking now...as an old human mortal at the moment.
Elijah did walk, at least 'an Elijah' (just like those named Jesus, there have been many, both before and after the Son)...so, if we assume 'Emmanuel' is one of the two witnesses...is another Elijah currently walking? Or, has the first one counted as one of the two? Are these 'earthly names' or 'spiritual names'...?
See, these are but a few of the questions that religion should have devoted itself to answering for the true congregation...not questions of bank loans, building expansions or which political candidate are they supporting this year.
There are MANY questions that should have been further explored...many I am confident that I have found the answer to in my lengthy lifetime...but I will not take on 'mainstream religions' or 'entrenched dogma' believers over. Each has their right to belief as they see fit...but to those 'thirsty for truth', there are the strong, open minds that quest to know 'other opinions', not afraid to truly seek answers...that are willing to 'hear another point of view' to find it. If you are CONFIDENT you already know the truth, then you have missed the perspective of 'BELIEF', because belief is a matter of knowing the end, without the path. Confident thinks it knows the path AND the end point...when in reality, only one of two can ever exist for the human mind or spirit. YOU CANNOT KNOW BOTH...and this was a major lesson that was taught, and rarely understood, from the Bible.
Consider this, as an example of what I am trying to explain...say you live in Dallas, and you want to drive to Houston. You can know that Houston is where you want to go, or you can know I-45 takes you south...but if you say that I-45 is the road that takes you to Houston, you then assume (as a mortal) that there are no blockades, no roadblocks, no damaged roads or impediments that would stop your journey. Your assumption could easily be failure. If you are DETERMINED to go on I-45 to Houston, and there is a road problem, you MAY NEVER GET THERE! Whereas, if you are determined to drive on I-45 as far south as it goes, or if you are determined to get to Houston, you can easily accomplish either. This is actually an application of the Physics concept known as 'Schrodinger's Cat Theory'...you can know a path, or a place, but you cannot know both simultaneously...so you choose. Likewise, with religion, many fail to understand, you can have 'absolute belief' or 'total confidence'. With belief, you listen for truth and test with the simple tests you were told to apply, as I referenced earlier. With 'confidence', you 'lock-in' like hardened concrete that you have already been told the truth...and refuse to hear anything else to the contrary. This is not wise...for many lies and deceits have been spoken for purposes of power and greed, during the past 2,000 years.
It is with this, I always like to point out that the word 'Nephilim' is not in the KJV Bible...it is actually a Norse word, one of the nine realms, on the same plane as 'Midgard' (earth), 'Vanaheim', 'Muspellheim' and 'Jotenheim'. Even more ironic, is that it IS WRITTEN in the Torah! Now, asking 'how was it in the Torah, and not written of in the KJV Bible?' Is a very long, and exasperating search through 500-years of Dark Ages lore...but proves the point, that not all things are as they seem on the surface.
Likewise, before the word 'demon' meant damned thing from the depths of Hell, it was actually used equal to the word 'brilliant', 'gifted', 'great wisdom'...and as the spelling 'daemon', it was a Greek word before the 2nd Temple was built. The word 'demon' is NOT in the KJV Bible, EITHER! Now, ask yourself, how this word has been so tossed around by every Christian faith since the Council of Nicea, and yet is NOT in any of the Canonized books of the Protestant Bible?
TEST BY WORD...but always be open-minded enough to do your own research. Faith and Righteousness was quickly replaced by 'Religion' early on after the death of Jesus. It was not the Satanists who did this, it was the clergy and the churches that did...for their own gain.
Keep in mind, to be able to say '(enter name here) speaks and preaches the word of God' is a powerful statement, and with great power, comes great vanity, greed and pride...all of which, men will gladly kill for. For 1,000 years, the Catholic Church kept the world illiterate, so that peasants would send their children to them so that they might be taught to read-and-write. In return, the Church not only received free laborers, but they were also able to propagate 'perceived power' to these children, who as 'lay leaders', take these concepts, beliefs and perceptions back to their communities. It is not a mistake to say 'Yule Tide' became 'Christmas' or 'Samhain' became 'All Hallows Day', because the Church was involved in the evolution of it all. You just have to ask, 'what else was done for not-so-holy of reasons that we may not ever know while here on earth?'
My wife has suffered through THOUSANDS OF HOURS of my rantings...until it became 'contagious', and she got the bug, too...
As I explained to her, 'if you look at existence and creation as an engineer might, then you start to possibly see things with the same mindset that God does'...for in many things I now reflect back at in my 'old age', I use years and years of engineering experience to see what was done, possibly why, and without fail...the one thing I come away with is the sheer scale of the work done!
I do have one point that I offer you, and any who have read this whole thread...and that is the one idea captured in the terrible time leading up to, and including, WWII.
Consider for a moment, that if Germany had won the war, and Hitler had but uttered the blasphemous words 'I am god', and God had returned in that moment and judged everyone...it would have been complete, and the words would have been honored in prophecy. Now, by a rather strange fluke of fate, America did enter the war, not 'drug into it in the end', but in the beginning...which in-truth, didn't change much of any fate, until it used the Atomic Bombs on Japan...we were out of resources, out of copper, out of steel, out of even lead...and quickly running out of food by 1945...Germany was in MUCH BETTER economic (resource-wise) shape, Nagasaki and Hiroshima were 'civilian-industrial manufacturing giant cities', akin to Pittsburgh or Detroit in the day for us...and they were just starting massive new productions of aircraft and tanks when we bombed them (also why we bombed a 'civilian city, or cities'...because they were controlled and dominated by military forces making them build machines of war).
Now...if EVERYTHING then fit, and fulfilled, all Biblical prophecy relative to 'Armageddon'...suddenly we bombed them, destroyed their manufacturing base, and the war was ended. Accident? Lucky? Fluke of the odds?
I say 'NO'...that for whatever reason, it was 'not the right timing', so the story had to go on...but, in saying that, one thing is evident that few realize who DO see this 'timing mechanism' at play...and that is the simple fact, that history IS REPEATING itself in the lead up to 'the end'.
This is important...because THIS is why men have been declaring 'the end is right around the corner' since 1000-AD! IT IS AROUND THE CORNER, but which corner? The next one, or 3-corners up? THIS IS WHY PROPHECY from the unknowing fails. THIS is why it appears 'inaccurate'...because those speaking were NOT given this information!
In WWII, you being watching what happened starting in 1933...the Wiemar Republic...(what would become Germany). It had a liberal-progressive government (they, coincidentally were known as 'Democrats'). They over-spent their national intake of funds (GDP), at the same time, the League of Nations 'wanted their debt paid' from WWI...and they devised what they thought was a genius plan...turn on the printing presses and print money CONSTANTLY...of course, printing fiat money like crazy devalues the money...so a dollar today is only worth half that tomorrow when you print twice as much as you should. Well, they went nuts, printed tons of cash...and paid the League of Nations debt with it...but about the time the League of Nations found out, insidious Inflation had already overtaken their nation. The League refused payment in this debased, worthless cash, while bread cost MILLIONS of Marks for a single loaf of bread! The nation was destroyed...and for over a year, chaos ruled. Out of this total anarchy, a man was recommended and voted on by the nation as the new 'Chancellor'...his name was Hitler...Adolf Hitler. The nation voted him in by a ratio of over 9-to-1...he was 'a blessing', 'god-sent', 'the promised one'...even the German Jews voted for him...
Get the picture? This has happened before...but it wasn't 'the end'...not then, anyhow...but if you know the history of what happened then...you start to see, the same things are ONCE AGAIN HAPPENING NOW!
Dark irony is that it has happened before that, too...when King Louis XVI of France (and his lovely wife, Marie Antoinette) spent the nation's money building the various palaces...until the nation was broke, debts were owed, and the people were starving in the streets....this all led to the famous quote from Antoinette, 'the people are starving, they have no bread'....'then hahaha, let them eat cake!'...a few days later, she lost her head to the guillotine...but this just started the chaos, the anarchy to come...4-years of literal 'dark ages', starvation on an unimagined scale that scared other nations near them...only ending with the 'rise of a new national leader'...the people KNEW he would bring them out of the darkness, KNEW he was their ANSWER...his name? Napoleon Bonaparte. The 'first beast'...again, VERY similar situation, very similar story...but 'no end'...
Now, overlay the stories and get a picture of what is to come...
A national debt, unpayable....a total collapse resulting from or causing total anarchy and chaos in the streets for a period of time, ending with a 'great, powerful leader' who has the faith of the nation, possibly the world, who 'has all the answers' to stop the insanity and bring peace and prosperity to the region, nation, even world.
THIS IS the story...and the one you (and everyone, for that matter) should watch for...the leader that 'everyone wants', 'everyone likes', 'everyone is drawn to', who has 'the answers we need'...
Fear this creature...for it is not what it appears to be...but the face will be kind, strong, smart...the words will sound right, the answers as they should be...at first. If your heart doesn't scream at you, the warning of what it is...be afraid...
The collapse comes before the war, the war comes before the 'deliverer', the 'deliverer' comes before the end...it's just the way the story keeps being told...so why think it would 'be different' otherwise? THIS is the 'misleading' that few are prepared for...
Wide is the Gate, and broad the path...
If everyone else is doing it...chances are, it's wrong.
Arlene, you bring up an excellent point that I, personally, pondered for a large part of my life. Are specific people 'infallible' and 'unfailing'? We know of Moses and Noah, but since 33-AD, we have ZERO named who have fulfilled anything...there was nothing left to specifically fulfill by 'named people'...instead, we were given 'positions' to watch for. 2 witnesses. 1 antichrist. etc.
Now, ask yourself...if we are told that 2 witnesses will come to preach to the world, what if they failed? What if one failed, and one succeeded? What would happen then? Many ASSUME that 'it is an infallible event that must happen'...so dismiss it. Personally, I think I found the real answer earlier in life, when I contemplated a few things we now have that are not only intrinsic to mankind but American life, as well.
Take the car. Created not once, nor originally by Henry Ford...it was made, and failed, and made, and reformed, and failed...over-and-over again. In fact, it is safe to say that the 'car' was only a possibility after no less than 9-different men in different locations of the world, attempted (and mostly failed) at realizing this 'car' dream...and few knew of the other's work at the time. So...in effect, a number of men got a 'car' idea, at different locations on the planet, within mere months of each other, a few years at the latest; and brought 'automobiles' to the world. Who gets the credit? Henry Ford...one man that DID NOT create the car...merely the assembly line to make them.
Now, ask yourself why. Why did so many 'unknown to each other' men have the same idea simultaneously? Why did most fail? Why did one succeed? And, most importantly, why has mankind's collective memory forgotten all of them to remember a man who DIDN'T create the car, given credit for doing so?
Divine intervention to fulfill something planned. This SAME PROCESS happened with electricity, lighting, telephones, audio recordings...even the bicycle! Now, if this much effort would be extended to develop 'worldly creations'...redundancy of design, to make sure a gaggle of people had the 'same drive' to create a single thing, and eventually, because enough worked at it, they succeeded...don't you think that the same effort is extended in making 'prophets'?
So...maybe the '2 witnesses' started out as 200...one-by-one, they got sick and died, or failed, or were led astray...maybe sometimes their works were accurate and fragments of that work were 'somehow transferred' (either in writing or word of mouth) to another, and eventually...as the complete works were accomplished, ONLY THEN do they become 'the 2 witnesses'...
So, if the works are completed at, say, the 190th person...those last 10 may or may not be 'religious', but are just never given the calling to 'be one of the 2'...and they pass without ever knowing 'they were in the work queue'.
This is my belief...because looking at it from an manager or engineer point of view, to accomplish a work 'in-perfection', knowing you only get one shot, the first tool any engineer uses for assuring 'fail-proof' design is redundancy...and this is just what is happening here, 'built-in-redundancy' to assure if one fails, all will not...and the work goes on without a hiccup.
I also believe this applies to evil, as well as good. I think there are 'successive links to potential antichrists' that, should the time not be right, or the person not be smart enough, or whatever...that they are 'passed by' and the next in line is prepared...a perpetual 'line of potential succession' when the need arises. I do not know how this works exactly, only that it solidly appears to be what is happening...too much evil, too many diabolical plans ready to 'start', but they don't...why?
This became a long conversation between my wife and I for over a month, a short time back. How (and why) does the world seem to constantly be a battleship on the verge of utter destruction...only to turn around in a moment's notice and be 'ok again'...for a while...disaster after disaster, each which should cause total collapse, return to the Dark Ages...yet a year later, it merely looks like a blink of the eye of 'kinda-bad' times.
It is as if a clock is being reset and reset and reset...like something is being waited on. Like 'jumping off points' that are passed up because 'they aren't the right moment' to let it continue...maybe, just maybe, the story has teeth like on a sprocket...that there ARE fixed times this could occur, this failure could happen...but when the timing's not right...it is held back and the story goes on. Maybe that's why, whether it is blood moon alignments or December 2012 or 2016 or 2020 or whatever, that there are only 'specific dates' that the 'end' could play out...(which, I have noticed, seem to all be timed in 4-year increments, since 2000)...accident? by-design? designed by God? designed recently by man? who knows...but I do know that when you see evil men plotting 'the end of the world' in government, in movies, in society...it is true, if it is not time, they will not succeed...it's just not written that way...and they are stopped. If it is time, nothing can stop them.
While we were all challenged to 'do the obvious' (feed the children, help when and where we can), what I call 'the no-brainers' of kindness and consideration; I feel that the powerful verses in the Bible are most-often completely overlooked!
"A camel shall pass through the eye of a needle, before a rich man enters heaven" - spoken by Jesus himself. If you believe even-an-OUNCE, then you see every single rich person on earth as fallen. PERIOD! Here is the test sheet that God gave, to PROVE TO YOU HOW EASY IT IS TO SEE THE LIARS AND DEMONS AND DAMNED. If they are rich, they are unworthy, period. Some would call this the 'test of the Pharisees', I simply see it as 'if you are rich, you aren't helping at all'...for if you helped, you would be a pauper too.
Many who search apocrypha for 'end date answers'...how would you know? At what point do we consider 'changes of times and dates' a valid warning? The church changed the calendar in the 1500's, but before then, it has been changed many times...2 weeks out of the calendar here, 2 months inserted there, a leap year for good measure...and even as you pointed out, Tammuz (Month of June-July in modern Hebrew dates) derives from the old pagan god name 'Dumuzud'...which came from the area of Nimrod in a time not far removed from him.
I have traveled extensively in my life...and have found that the more you know, the more you realize that there are few 'fixed points' in most religions that seem to hold 'accurate', and in most cases, they also tie into each other on those points, too. In my dream, I noted that 10 of our current 'months' on the Gregorian Calendar are quite-ancient...or trace back to something very old. HOWEVER, we know the exact source of July and August...and they were used as 'extenders' to make the Roman corrections needed to have the last month not 'walk backward into summer'. Interesting that Tammuz is 'hidden' by these 'insertions'...and not another month...and even more 'poetic' that they are both names of Caesars, tyrants...just like what is promised would come in the end.
Finally, one of the greatest points (that I, myself think is highly accurate) is the other 'check test' for righteousness (per the Bible), and that is "wide is the gate, and great is the path to damnation". This EXACTLY SAYS what others do not want to contemplate...and that is NO MAJOR RELIGION is the 'true religion'...because 'the path desired' is a seldom-traveled path with narrow gates and rough terrain...it is not Volvos sitting in mega-church parking lots, talking about 'prayers for personal wealth gains'. If there is ONE single true religion...a few hundred, maybe a few thousand, practice it. THAT IS ALL. It is not textbook Bible...for the Bible was canonized by the Catholic Church in 325-AD, and THEY chose the books to put into it...in fact, even few Christians realize that the Ethiopian Bible has 67 books in it, while the Catholic Bible has 72 books in it, while a Baptist in Alabama has a Bible with 66 books in it. There are DOZENS of Bibles in the world...and hundreds of religious scriptures that 'didn't make the cut' for canonization (compiling into what we know as the Bible)...like the Gospel of Mary, the Gospel of Jesus, the Book of Enoch, etc. I have many of them in my personal library...some even refute what 'major organized religions' teach! (like in the Gospel of Jesus, where we are told the TRUE TEMPLE is each of us, not just within us, BUT US...and that we are in temple all the time, for we are the temple...this thinking, of course, would put a damper on Church Collection Dollars at the end of the day, so of course, it wasn't canonized).
My wife and I have our own time to talk, discuss, study, pray...but we do not attend a church...because I believe in the idea of 'True Temple'...that if you live as you should, you give to those that need it, not church organizations that don't...and you pray and are mindful all the time...not just that Sunday morning after you were in the bar last night...thinking you can sin and then repent, over and over. The ignorance of this, alone, is mind-numbing.
Imagine if we raised children like this...and on that 1,100th time of the child hurting another, or being mean to an animal, he says 'oh, I'm sorry...I won't do it again'...what would you say, or do? Forgive him? Actually, Jesus says 'go forth, AND SIN NO MORE'...because repetition is the first sign of 'insincerity'...and voids forgiveness instantly.
I guess my wife and I just walk a different path...but we've been doing it for 35 years, so something works for us.
As for the witnesses, my 'feeling' (emotions are heavy in real visions, for me), is that what was said directly means there are ONLY TWO HUMANS, they have a heartbeat, they are not a conglomerate, a group, an ideal...I was not shown their face or location, I felt 'they cannot be found on earth if I gave you their true name, for your true name is not your worldly name'...so M & B are, most likely, their spiritual names...but US 'felt' like United States...and is why Nostradamus wasn't given more...because it would have only caused far more questions from him...so he was only given 'MABUS'.
I felt the pain from various angles over the witnesses, though. They have tried, SO HARD, to tell the world the truth...they have, in fact, told the world the truth...there was a moment when they were being spoken about that there was an 'over-tone' saying 'for the word will be given to the whole of the world, and then the story shall end'...and it referred not to the Bible, but the Witnesses final words...transmitted by internet, that any could read...maybe hear...don't know the media they spoke in, just that it was possible to read or hear it 'worldwide'...and that 'their work is about to finish'.
They are two. I do not know their gender, or if they know each other, or if they are 60 or 90, or what race, or anything...other than from what is said, they are in the U.S...and their deaths are near simultaneous and very soon...as was said in what I saw, 'it comes soon, even now'.
As for the reference to Tamuz...it was the Hebrew month of the giving of the law, and the breaking of the tablets, and the making of the golden calf, and the elimination of 3,000 who would worship it - at Joshua's hand. The 'poetic' notion of this also happening in the month of Tamuz is noteworthy.
Again...that is all I have, that I clearly remember.
