message of destruction and hope

This morning, while praying, I had a prayer-vision. In this vision, I was standing in front of a body of water that looked like a bay of some sort. The waves that were lapping back and forth were tiny and gentle. There was a serene and peaceful feeling in the air and I knew it was because JESUS was standing next to me, though I couldn't see HIM. After a few moments, in my spirit, I asked HIM if there was anything HE wanted to tell or show me.

Immediately I had a 'vision within the vision.' I saw in front of me a sandy beach of dead sea life piled up high. It almost looked like debris and trash, but in reality was washed up fish, shellfish, starfish and the like. It was like a picture that I saw yesterday in an article about the terrible loss of sea life in East Yorksire that just occurred from Storm Emma

I was reminded me of the "Hosea 4:3 prophecy" about how GOD's creation would start dying off because of the sins of the people:

"Hear the word of the LORD, you Israelites,

because the LORD has a charge to bring

against you who live in the land:

“There is no faithfulness, no love,

no acknowledgment of God in the land.

There is only cursing, lying and murder,

stealing and adultery;

they break all bounds,

and bloodshed follows bloodshed.

Because of this the land dries up,

and all who live in it waste away;

the beasts of the field, the birds in the sky

and the fish in the sea are swept away."

Hosea 4:3

While I was looking at the 'vision within the vision,' I started hearing a message. I quickly took my pad and pen and started writing:

"MY creation is dying--it is being polluted by men. Men's destructive ways have finally caught up with them, and now they will pay for what they have done to MY creation.

I have come that they might have life, but they have chosen the way of death.

Their bodies will line the shore just as the dead fish do now. (I then saw hundreds of dead, naked, human bodies piled up high on the sandy beach.) There will be the stench of death in the air. All of the wicked will pay for what they have done. Unless they repent and seek ME now.

Come to ME all who are heavy laden and I will give you rest. I AM the Good Shepherd and will lead MY sheep to fine pastures where they will get fed.

The wicked and the just -- this is their true fates: one to salvation and the other to damnation. Woe, to the city of Zoar, for your time has come. Your fame goes before you, but your destruction will be your end. Prepare for your destruction.

Seek ME now while I can still be found. The door is about to shut tight and lock. No one will then be able to get into MY Kingdom. Do not get locked out, enter now while you still can.

Knock and I will still open the door. Seek and you will still find. Ask and I will give according to MY perfect will.

It is late, the clock is ticking.....

The midnight hours comes ....and so do I! END OF MESSAGE

This message is self-explanatory, except for the part about the 'city of Zoar.' Not understanding what it meant, I looked it up in the Bible and found that Zoar was one of the 5 cities to be destroyed with Sodom and Gomorrah. However, Lot petitioned GOD that it would be saved, so that he and his daughters could flee there. (Genesis 19:30)

'Zoar' in the Bible means' insignificant' and 'brought low.' It also refers to the same place as 'Bela,' mentioned in Genesis 14:8, which means 'destruction,' 'devouring,' 'swallowed,' and 'destroy.' This city was marked for destruction, but became a place of refuge for Lot.

I asked the LORD what HE meant by saying 'city of Zoar,' and I then heard the words, 'place of refuge.' THEN I got it! It was two-fold! In the physical world, America has been a 'place of refuge.' From her very humble beginnings of the persecuted Christians fleeing Europe, to now, where people come to find a better life and freedom. Secondly, in the spirit, the church is also suppose to be a 'place of refuge,' but, today, it has become everything but that!

I believe that what I heard was that 'woe to the city of Zoar' meant 'woe to Babylon,' that her destruction will come with the wrath of GOD, like it talks about in Revelation 18:

"Terrified at her torment, they will stand far off and cry: “ ‘Woe! Woe to you, great city, you mighty city of Babylon! In one hour your doom has come!' Revelation 18:10
