dream date: jan 27, 2024
In the dream the Lord had warned me minutes before it happened what would happen so i could tell the people around me gather our things and to escape as we went outside of the diner we were in getting into a our cars to drive up to the mountain there was a commotion in the water and I said it’s coming let’s go it’s going to cause a tsunami and suddenly
A dragon Godzilla like creature rose from the sea and so we got into our cars and started racing to the mountains and as we did that dragon caused a tsunami and the water began to come into the land. I knew in the dream my daughter was working so I went and picked her up and continued on. We all stopped at some point up the mountain we thought was high enough at a building perhaps a church but the person in charge left like they were in agreement with the chaos and we saw the water rising and it wasn’t high enough so got out and started climbing the rocks even higher to the highest point. I woke up
Dragon= Antichrist/Beast system
tsunami= Chaos, persecution, control and what he will do
Rock mountain= Jesus
Church building= even some pastors/congregations will be deceived/ will be closed
Keep your eyes on Jesus. we will have to be careful who we trust. Keep in prayer and the word, fast when you can. keep seeking the Lords face
Revelation 13
The Beast out of the Sea
13 The dragon[a] stood on the shore of the sea. And I saw a beast coming out of the sea. It had ten horns and seven heads, with ten crowns on its horns, and on each head a blasphemous name. 2 The beast I saw resembled a leopard, but had feet like those of a bear and a mouth like that of a lion. The dragon gave the beast his power and his throne and great authority. 3 One of the heads of the beast seemed to have had a fatal wound, but the fatal wound had been healed. The whole world was filled with wonder and followed the beast. 4 People worshiped the dragon because he had given authority to the beast, and they also worshiped the beast and asked, “Who is like the beast? Who can wage war against it?”
5 The beast was given a mouth to utter proud words and blasphemies and to exercise its authority for forty-two months. 6 It opened its mouth to blaspheme God, and to slander his name and his dwelling place and those who live in heaven. 7 It was given power to wage war against God’s holy people and to conquer them. And it was given authority over every tribe, people, language and nation. 8 All inhabitants of the earth will worship the beast—all whose names have not been written in the Lamb’s book of life, the Lamb who was slain from the creation of the world.[b]
9 Whoever has ears, let them hear.
10 “If anyone is to go into captivity,
into captivity they will go.
If anyone is to be killed[c] with the sword,
with the sword they will be killed.”[d]
This calls for patient endurance and faithfulness on the part of God’s people.
The Beast out of the Earth
11 Then I saw a second beast, coming out of the earth. It had two horns like a lamb, but it spoke like a dragon. 12 It exercised all the authority of the first beast on its behalf, and made the earth and its inhabitants worship the first beast, whose fatal wound had been healed. 13 And it performed great signs, even causing fire to come down from heaven to the earth in full view of the people. 14 Because of the signs it was given power to perform on behalf of the first beast, it deceived the inhabitants of the earth. It ordered them to set up an image in honor of the beast who was wounded by the sword and yet lived. 15 The second beast was given power to give breath to the image of the first beast, so that the image could speak and cause all who refused to worship the image to be killed. 16 It also forced all people, great and small, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hands or on their foreheads, 17 so that they could not buy or sell unless they had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of its name.
18 This calls for wisdom. Let the person who has insight calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man.[e] That number is 666.
Psalm 61
1 Hear my cry, O God; attend unto my prayer.
2 From the end of the earth will I cry unto thee, when my heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the rock that is higher than I.
3 For thou hast been a shelter for me, and a strong tower from the enemy.
4 I will abide in thy tabernacle for ever: I will trust in the covert of thy wings. Selah.

Church leaving...
We've heard a lot of stories of police and firemen going home to their families during storms and crises. Embassy staff leave for risky days, and expats are left to fend for themselves.
Churches are cautious about lawsuits, losing insurance, safety of paid staff... and with fewer volunteers these days, the minister may be stuck on their own.
Many also belong to a gvt network, focused on response teamwork. They collect data on members, and sometimes neighborhoods. Other nonprofits, organizations also collect info... and are somewhat beholden to the gvt.
This week in doing taxes, I had to click a checkbox that I'd give permission for IRS to share my personal information with other countries. My mind goes in 20 directions with that one.
