I heard the words "A Broken Arrow." Followed by the phrase "A bow of steel is broken by mine arms." And the Lord said: You are going to paralyze the enemy. Then the Lord said: "He is raising up his own house." So it shall be with many in these last days. They shall discern the house has been built upon a faulty foundation. They shall destroy that which they have planted and seen come to fruition. People will say: "Oh! Isn't that a shame!" And then they who have destroyed what they planted will arise as stars in the night time sky. Shining forever! Their heads are wet with the dew of heaven. They have slept upon the earth and dreamed dreams. In their dreams they have seen the stars twinkle. They have said: "Make my descendants even as those stars in yonder heaven." They have entered into a covenant with the Almighty to root out, pull down and destroy that which was planted. (Jeremiah 1) People will say: O how could you? Jezebel will say: How could you dare!
HEAR THE RUSHING OF THE WINGS OF THE EAGLES
You will hear the majestic rushing of the mighty wings of eagles, as they ascend in clouds of glory. Glory arose! Glory is seated at the right hand of God as one with God. Be fearless. Be thou very courageous. Do this with a vision says the Lord. It's a new season of planting. It will come to the harvest and you will be glad and rejoice with exceeding joy. You will be opposed bitterly. The fruit will be your rejection by the nay-sayers, who will oppose the very ground on which you stand. It's the house of Laban searching in search of the teraphim. You will melt those down so as to be unrecognizable in their former form. You will throw them into the fire. Yet out of the fire shall step cherubim, their hooves sparkling. There will be a whirring of their wings! A definate direction shall be given by the Almighty! For I have spoken it says the Lord.
THE VISION OF THE DRAWN BOW
In a vision I see the bow drawn back. There's a whizzing of arrows one after another by the Mighty God of Jacob, as He puts His hand to the hand on the bow. As He stands shoulder to the shoulder and arms to the arms which the Lord your God has strengthened. Your back won't be without a rear-guard says the Lord.
There will be no outward observation given. It'll be the whiff of faith. That has filled your nostrils as that word of the war horse in the battle which says charge and he moves fearlessly ahead! I'll show you greater things than these! Get ready for the "greater works," the far more exceeding weight of glory! Don't cling to the past for fear of acceptance! The faulty foundation is man's demonstration that he was willing to make concessions--to compromise the Word of Truth. The Word of Truth must be revealed. It cannot be a faulty foundation for I the Master Builder AM the Truth, the Life, the Way!
THE DEMONSTRATION OF GOD VS BAAL
What will it profit a man if he gain the whole world and lose his own soul? What honour to be called an apostle, a prophet, an evangelist, a pastor, a teacher, if you dig down only to plant a false seed? Only to reap a harvest of that which the Lord has not sent forth? Be wise as serpents and harmless as doves. Return says the Lord, and you will be pardoned. In returning and rest shall you be saved. I will place you in the battle. Heed My Word quickly. Or you will sit on the side lines. There are two realms. The one is of the earth, earthy. The other is the Lord from heaven. Do not mix the two. Do not join hand to hand with those that do, and call it one with God. I AM not the author of confusion. I am not the God of Baal. Do I serve Baal? Does Baal act as my messenger says the Lord? He is refuse to Me. Yet out of the ashes of that which many have given their entire lives to, shall arise a people who have been shaken. Yes that have shaken their very selves from out of the stupor of false religion. For I have said: What is that in your hand? And they have said unto Me: It's the Word of the Lord. And I have said: Go thou and do what I have told you to do. "But my denomination..." they have retorted. To whom you yield yourselves as servants to obey, his servants you are. Be no longer servants but sons of the Most High God, who are ready to enter into full Sonship.
THE PRISONERS GROANINGS
They shall hear the groaning of the prisoners. The prisoners are themselves. But I say that the doors of the prison houses are open and I AM calling them forth as the Apostles of the Lord. As the Prophets of the Most High God. As the Evangelists that declare the glory of the Lord. As Pastors of the flock of God, as Teachers of Righteousness. Beat your swords into plow shares. There's a work to be done. It's not the end. It's the beginning of a mighty wind. A wave of such magnitude that ti shall sweep the earth. Your nets cannot contain this catch says the Lord. You have waited weeping even in the nights. Days spent searching the horizon for the cloud the size of a man's hand to signal the sound of the abundance of rain. Get you down and run says the Lord! Gird up the loins of your mind and run. Do not say: How shall such a thing be? Believe and you shall receive. I will astound the hearers with who shall preach. I will perform says the Lord, and you will see the wings and the eyes all around shall be opened wider than you've ever seen them before. For they will say: My Lord! And My God! And really mean it with all of their hearts!
A WORD CONCERNING AMERICA & EUROPE
There is a flag that you will see whipped by such mighty gusts that at times you will be tempted to despair. Europe will be a testing and a proving ground. An army shall amass there, a great magnitude of all nations. They will not always favor your nations status, nor your governmental leaderships advice. For strong delusion will come upon them to believe the lie. And within their ranks shall an antichrist spirit arise and sweep with his great tail even the very stars of heaven if possible--and cast them to the earth. Take great care to ground them in the truth of My Word says the Lord. It is coming! It is coming in these days when men shall sit around tables and talk peace and trust in the strength of their numberings of their armies.
The Great Eagles eyes are in many ways being opened. Though for the vast majority, not yet so as to feature repentance as the nations cure. But My army has it's eagles says the Lord and they will gather even the outcasts of Israel, and there will be weeping and great remorse over the lack of prayer that has enabled the spread of the Black Eagle's wings to encompass so great a territory--for even Britain with false claims of how he can serve their purposes. Be not mocked. For many have warned with tears and backed up the preaching of My Word with your prayers. The seige engines are in place. The flag turns this way and that upon the pole, seemingly unnoticed, as if there's no great stir.
Tony Blair's eyes have been opening wider than ever before. Pray for his leadership. Britain must not go down--This revival comes which I send. I will even strengthen the ecomony at this present time, for Britain has been caught in the clinches of it, and the nation has been squeezed as in a vice grip. Your churches shall be war rooms from which my generals shall send the direction of My Spirit forth. Yet you will hear the grumbling of the undisciplined, the unprepared. Prepare yourselves in prayer and through the power of My Word. Do nothing through your own fleshly administration. Only with your eyes will you behold the reward of the wicked says the Lord. For I will move swiftly to deal with these, for they are at a strait between the two, or they are in the other camp and have hidden themselves among you, feasting at your banquets of charity. There will be many house churches that will arise among the nations, which will need, yea require your prayers to survive.
IRAQ
In a vision I see Iraq searching for a King and again and again it returns to a mid-eastern military commander, who is young enough to have the strength to serve for many years, and to quell the rising factions which sap this country's strength and economic base. This man will arise with great power and overcome many predictions made for this country. But he will fall flat in an area that is crucial. They will perfect a "carpet weapon," which can be sent into many nations and cover a broad base. They must terrify their enemies into subjection, for they will lack the economic base to buy them off.
GREECE-MACEDONIA
I saw military men in this area training. In the vision, they seemed to go into a mist. The Lord allowed me to see into the mist where they were being trained by a mid-eastern military leader.
THE BAKLANS
In the vision I heard the phrase "Stalinist-type governemnt." And enquiring of the Lord in what way this would resemble a "Stalinist-type government? I saw prisoners being transported on trains and killed enmasse and buried in Siberia. But I observed no open military type warfare. It was more a silent war at this point. Among the prisoners, I saw an American soldier.
The scene changed to the army of young men in uniform in Macedonia. And the Lord said: Many abductions will occur and young men missing in action will be used to create mental duress among the nations and to cause great uncertainty as to what is going on and as to travel safety. Travel will be allowed at times in these areas, but with warnings regarding abduction activity and alerts with instructins for safety. Areas were being scouted out that were remote enough to take abductees, where intervention would be difficult to impossible.
CHICAGO
Outside the city of Chicago a cell is forming, of a negative variety. They will travel back and forth to the Michigan area. Look at the fingers of these lakes said the Lord, even as the fingers of a man's hand. This area will experience a visitation of God.
ITALY
I saw in a vision the trampling of grapes. It was Italy. There is a strong Communist presence here. One of the grapes began to speak saying: I have no problem with any of it. It was championing Chna's involvement in commerce, like weapons transportation because they'd be less suspect due to their abundant trade. If raided, the one said: We could say: What has this to do with us? It is so far away. There was talk between them of using women reporters for the abductions because of the emotional appeal. The spokes men for the Balkans were not so positive in their reaction because of problems with the Chechens--They felt the Asians could not be trusted.
The terminology in this prophetic word and vision, come from the scroll of Hosea, where Assyria is used as the rod of God's chastening. "In that day I will break Israel's bow in the Valley of Jezreel." God did not specifically state in this prophetic communication that this speaks of Israel, but the language is definately that of the defeat of an adversary. We see in the terminiolgy of this prophetic communication to Hosea however, that the Broken Bow" in scripture can refer to the defeat of a kingdom or dominion.
Hosea is described as the Son of Beeri. His ministry was during the reigns of 4 kings of Judah, in much the way a man's life encompasses the offices of several presidents of his own nation:
Hosea was a contemporary of the Prophet Isaiah's. God uses the term "Baal" which is the ordinary Canaanite term for "husband," in contrast to His own faithful covenantal love. The nation of Israel's spiritual reforms were short lived, followed by cycles of sin. Yet the Lord contrasts His covenant love to that of Baal in the lives of His own people, for they have fallen into gross idolatry. Prophetically, God spoke to the Prophet Hosea concerning his marriage to Gomer daughter of Diblaim, (Diblaim means "raisin cakes." The Lord found Israel like dried grapes in the desert (Hos. 9:10) There would be a crushing of the pride and independance which lead to infidelity, for the sweetness God intends to come again into covenantal relationship) a woman who would prove to be an unfaithful wife to the Prophet.
God knows and predicts the future of Hosea's rocky marriage, to a woman who would prove to be quite fickle. The Lord God could have prevented the unhappiness of marriage to Gomer, for it resulted in much suffering in the lives of Hosea and his three children. But the Lord says to him: Go marry...God would resurrect or "raise up" Gomer from the grave of sin. As she "became unfaithful," she, under the dealings of God could become "a faithful wife." Many commentators believe that Gomer while faithful at first, "became" a harlot in the course of the marriage relationship, as Israel turned from their fidelity to God unto idols.
With the sin of Gomer, came spiritual warfare into the life, marriage, home, and ministry of the Prophet Hosea. This did not bring an end to his ministry. Nor did it prevent God's dealings or chastening of his wife, Gomer.
To the contrary, God established his prophetic ministry to an even greater decree. There is tsedheq ("righteousness") and mishpat("justice"), chesedh ("steadfast love") and 'emunah ("faithfulness"), and there is rachamim ("mercy"). The outcome is "You shall know the Lord." a situation lacking in Israel's forgetting him (cf. Hos. 2:[15]13).
In chapter 3, the Lord instructs the prophet to love with a love that never gives up! By this unfailing love, the "Bow of steel" that had been sent into Hosea's family would be broken. The bow is both a metaphor and a simile in Hosea. Israel is like a deceitful bow (Hos. 7:16); but breaking the bow (Hos. 1:5; 2:[20]18) is a metaphor for breaking the military power, a metaphor later used by Jeremiah (Jer. 49:35).
Hannah's prayer declares "The bows of the mighty are broken" (1 Sam. 2:4). Hosea's vision of peace envisions the abolition of the bow (Hos. 2:[20]18). Israel had foolishly depended on military might (Hos. 14:[4]3). The Psalmist praises the Lord as one who breaks the bow (Ps. 46:9; 76:13), and Zech. 9:10 speaks of the battle bow cut off.
Metaphors for "Jacob," are used in this enclosed prophecy, as in the book of Hosea, (Hos. 10:11; 12:[3]2)In Hosea 13:15, we see also the allusion to the "east wind" from the Lord," as contrasted to the whiff or wind of faith, and these who mount up on eagles wings. The wind occurs in several figures of the book of Hosea. Ephraim herds the wind (ro`eh ruach), and pursues the east wind (rodeph qadhim) all day long (Hos. 12:[2]1). The two stages of agriculture are also represented in the sowing metaphor. In Hos. 4:19 a wind has wrapped (tsarar ruach) them in its wings, and they shall be ashamed of their altars [Heb."sacrifices"] They sow (zara`) the wind and reap (qatsar) the whirlwind (Hos. 8:7). They cannot escape the consequences of their actions.
The book or scroll of Hosea ends in chapter 14 with God's command to "Return O Israel to the Lord your God. Your sins have caused your downfall. Take words with you and return to the Lord. Say to Him: Forgive all our sins and receive us graciously, that we may offer the fruit of our lips. Assyria cannot save us. We will not mount war-horses." God is calling the nation not to trust in the strength of military might. But in hearts broken in repentance, the forgiveness of sins, and renewed right relationship with Him. This again is terminology used by the Lord in the accompanying vision and prophetic word. The manifestation of God's glory as His people repent, return, and arise.
