West End (from 2008)

Sunday, November 23, 2008, 11:59 p.m. – This song that we sang this morning at West End Church’s 100th anniversary celebration is in my head:

Everlasting God / Chris Tomlin

Strength will rise as we wait upon the Lord, We will wait upon the Lord...

The Lord gave me A VISION: I saw a bust of a human head sitting on a table in the fellowship hall of the church. It looked like someone put a swim cap over its head and then it looked like skin was stretched over it by human hands. I saw many hands working on it. The location of it was right about where I sat at dinner.

Then, I saw JR, LP, FR, BA, WN and MRN. Then I saw a lot of hands and fingers intertwining with each other. Then I saw FR again and he turned into a machine, like a robot of sorts. He had a square metal head and his body was squared and metal.

Then, I heard “RC” and then saw his wife, DC. And, then I saw DN. I inquired of the Lord about them and then I saw Santa Claus. I saw Bozo the Clown, and then I saw GL and TR.

I saw a young man I did not recognize. He was wearing a hat. Then, I saw MRN, again, and then a huge fish the size of a human being that was caught on a fisherman’s hook that he was holding up to show off his prize catch.

Then I heard “JR” and I saw CB and then what looked like snakes slithering around. Then I saw what looked like a spike in the mouth of the snake. So, I asked the Lord if CB was a good guy and I saw him as the devil and then with a pitchfork in his hand and then with donkey ears.

Then I saw the head of a horse hovering over the area where they were serving food for the covered dish luncheon today. Then the horse turned into a dinosaur - Auroraceratops, meaning "dawn horned face.” He had his mouth open wide and then inside his mouth it was like his tongue went through a shredder, for it was a forked tongue multiplied over several times. I realized this was HJ, the overseer.

Then I saw FR and BA with some type of machinery that had claws on the end of it for grabbing things (maybe people). I saw PT and WJ. I asked the Lord who he wanted to focus on next and he said “Beth Moore (BM).” I was taken back, but I said, “Ok.” Then he showed me a snake with its mouth open wide like it was ready to attack its victims and then the mouth turned into the mouth of a hippopotamus.

I inquired of the Lord about a certain person there at the church today who would not make eye contact with me and who would not respond to me when I called out her name right in front of her. I spoke her name, SS, more than once thinking she didn’t hear me but when she walked past me, she lightly tapped me on the arm but never looked at me and never spoke to me. The Lord answered with, Strength will rise as we wait upon the Lord, we will wait upon the Lord, we will wait upon the Lord.

Then I saw OJ, then BJ, and then BAL (these were on the stage from left to right). When it got to BAL, I saw what looked like a flower about to bloom and to open up and then I saw these tentacles, like spider legs or Octopus legs behind her but slightly to the left of her, which is where CS was located. Then, I inquired of the Lord about BJ and then he turned into some kind of an insect (a termite), and then I saw these tentacles all over the stage. Then, the flower was placed in a huge fan that was facing left (west) and the flower was shredded.

Then I saw all kinds of evil images floating all over the place. Then, the tentacles became like vines that grew and spread all over the church like kudzu.

I inquired of the Lord if I had been taken in by any of this and then I heard my name, “Susan,” so I asked the Lord what he wanted to show me about “Susan,” and then I saw SS, the woman who had snubbed me, who would not make eye contact with me and who would not respond to me when I called her name. I sensed the Lord saying I didn’t listen about something. He spoke to me in the morning about the church from the passage of scripture that I will place here next and yet I went there anyway - “It was rotten, but I ate it anyway.” Wow! END

(This was the Lord then telling me I needed to leave Babylon, but I didn’t listen.)

Then, I kept hearing: Strength will rise as we wait upon the Lord, we will wait upon the Lord, we will wait upon the Lord… Speak, Lord, for your servant is listening. I read Zechariah 7:

Justice and Mercy, Not Fasting

1 In the fourth year of King Darius, the word of the LORD came to Zechariah on the fourth day of the ninth month, the month of Kislev. 2 The people of Bethel had sent Sharezer and Regem-Melech, together with their men, to entreat the LORD 3 by asking the priests of the house of the LORD Almighty and the prophets, "Should I mourn and fast in the fifth month, as I have done for so many years?"

4 Then the word of the LORD Almighty came to me: 5 "Ask all the people of the land and the priests, 'When you fasted and mourned in the fifth and seventh months for the past seventy years, was it really for me that you fasted? 6 And when you were eating and drinking, were you not just feasting for yourselves? 7 Are these not the words the LORD proclaimed through the earlier prophets when Jerusalem and its surrounding towns were at rest and prosperous, and the Negev and the western foothills were settled?' "

8 And the word of the LORD came again to Zechariah: 9 "This is what the LORD Almighty says: 'Administer true justice; show mercy and compassion to one another. 10 Do not oppress the widow or the fatherless, the alien or the poor. In your hearts do not think evil of each other.'

11 "But they refused to pay attention; stubbornly they turned their backs and stopped up their ears. 12 They made their hearts as hard as flint and would not listen to the law or to the words that the LORD Almighty had sent by his Spirit through the earlier prophets. So the LORD Almighty was very angry.

13 " 'When I called, they did not listen; so when they called, I would not listen,' says the LORD Almighty. 14 'I scattered them with a whirlwind among all the nations, where they were strangers. The land was left so desolate behind them that no one could come or go. This is how they made the pleasant land desolate.' "

My Understanding: skin – the external protective covering on the human body. The church is a body. This bust of a head on the table was that of their former pastor whose head they were having on a platter and feasting upon over dinner at their 100th anniversary celebration. They had just recently gotten rid of him. Baldness is a picture of shame; disgrace or mourning. He is bald in real life and wears a toupee. They covered his bald head with a plastic swim cap and then covered that with skin, so this was fake mourning. This was all about them. They helped create him.

The Lord is showing me many of the leaders in the church who are just like how the Israelites are described above. And, he is showing me all the evil that is taking place within, not only this church, but the church in the west (USA) which they represent.

The robot looking machine covering one man has to do with making their hearts as hard as flint and stopping up their ears. Santa Claus is a fake and he is a false god in the church to whom the people have designated God-like attributes. They have deified these people RC, DC and DN, but these men are just men and not gods.

I’m also seeing that RC stands for Roman Catholic, DC, for Washington and DN for “done”, many of these initials of false teachers, BJ for Bob Jones, the bust of a head as the fake leaders of our government and churches, Jr as GW Bush, FR as Roosevelt (globalism), CB for radio communication, SS for Social Security, and BAL – balance.

The Lord is also showing the church (the huge fish) caught in a snare; in the hook of another who is holding up his “catch” to show it off as his “prize.” This can be none other than Satan who has caught the church in his hook. A spike in the man’s mouth sounds like he has a sharp tongue; a thorn; a cutting tongue, perhaps, and he was shown as the devil with a pitch fork in hand and with donkey ears – like the bad boys in the story of Pinocchio.

Overseeing all of this was a “horned face.” This had a reference to China as the ones serving up the food to the church. China has been serving up poisoned food lately, so I believe this is a reference to the church serving up poisoned “spiritual” food – “It was rotten; ate it anyway.” This horned face creature had a forked tongue that was multiplied over several times, so it represents more than one tongue, I believe. The machine claws, I believe, represent how Satan has gotten the church in his clutches. And, surprisingly enough, it appears that Beth Moore (BM) has gotten caught up in this false church. I’ve read some things about that – the Emergent Church.

The person who would not look me in the eye, who would not respond to me calling her name and who would not speak with me represents those of us who do not listen to God, whether in small or big ways. The Lord said I disobeyed him when he told me not to go for dessert when I had eaten enough, but I went anyway – “it was rotten, but I ate it anyway.” So, I wept over my sin, repented and he restored me.

(But, this wasn't just about me eating too much, but it was about me continuing with the institutional church - Babylon - and eating of their "desserts," i.e. their delicacies and their sugar-coated gospel message, taking it into my mind, even if I wasn't buying it myself. But, this wasn't just about me, but about the true church doing this.)

These tentacles shown on the stage and then spreading like kudzu are representative of something far reaching that gradually insinuates its influence or control in order to trap prey. The Lord is picturing how “the stage” or “the show” has become a tool of Satan in the church to lead people away from true devotion to God. So, God must judge his people. The flower that was ready to bloom (the true church) will instead be placed inside the fan (whirlwind) of God’s divine judgment upon the west.
