Podcasts about Nature reserve

Whilst out along the Kent side of the Thames Estuary on Saturday, aiming to capture the sound of skylarks and reeds, we met a walker with a very friendly border terrier. She told us there was talk of a nightingale not too far away at RSPB's Northward Hill Nature Reserve. We aren't strictly speaking wildlife recordists, the Lento box is designed like a wide angle camera to capture panoramic landscape sounds, but we thought it might be worth a visit to the reserve to see if we might be able to find it. Unusually for us public transport devotees, we were able to travel on to Northward Hill easily thanks to a magnificent Lento supporter. He'd driven us and the Lento box out from Brockley station in South East London to explore another corner of the Hoo Peninsula, and was keen to visit the reserve. We didn't feel hugely confident about actually hearing a nightingale. They are the kinds of birds you don't expect to find on demand. We rolled into the reserve's car park and quickly headed down into the woodland. We descended a rough flight of bare earth steps under the dark shadows of dense tree canopy, surrounded by glorious birdsong. All the usual suspects of course, familiar if you regularly listen to Lento - chif chaf, blackbirds, black caps, jackdaws, robins, various others plus trusty wood pigeons.  After turning right and proceeding further into the woods over a few hundred yards our ears pricked up. I found myself saying "and there it is" before I had even properly heard it. We continued for a few steps and, fortunately, there it was again, this time much more clearly, and without doubt a nightingale only about thirty yards away! Up on the tripod went the Lento box. I turned it to face the sound of the nightingale, and pressed record, bathed in the rich tapestry of spring woodland birds, coming from all around us.  Here's what the box captured. It's only twenty minutes. The passage of time is from around 5pm on 24th May. There are some people vaguely audible and a horse (louder) somewhere to left of scene. A road must pass the reserve too because some level of vehicle noise is distantly audible, but not so much as to spoil the overall effect. We capture whole landscapes from one fixed position, so what you hear is the nightingale just as we heard it from standing on the path and facing into the reserve. Wildlife recordists find ways to post their microphones very close to their subjects and as such we are all used to hearing nightingales proportionately far louder than anything else. In reality though these are not birds that like being approached, so few people can ever actually hear in-person, the bird singing as loudly as they do in specially focused recordings.  With a pair of headphones though this episode provides a realistic woodland soundscape with a nightingale almost dead centre of scene. You should be able quite easily to hear it between the other birds which are spread out to the left and to the right of scene. Listen out for a wonderfully special coincidence that happens a few times where a distant cuckoo comes into earshot too. It is pretty well dead centre, behind the nightingale.  There must be a farm nearby because several cockerels crow towards the end. The whole scene is in fact very busy, and whether a connection or not, I note how the nightingale seems to become more active when the chif chaf is in full voice. Coincidence, or not? This bonus episode is shared with big thanks to our trusty supporter and to the dog walker we met. 

Send Me A Message!! The biodiversity crisis might seem like an insurmountable challenge, but amidst the doom and gloom shines a remarkable story of hope and transformation. Welcome to Wild Acres Nature Reserve in County Wicklow, where a couple's decision to trade corporate careers for conservation has created a thriving ecological paradise.When Brian and Gilly purchased four fields of intensively grazed perennial ryegrass in 2017, they faced a landscape stripped of life. Seven years later, their 34-acre reserve boasts 57 wildlife ponds, 15,000 native trees, and four acres of wildflower meadows teeming with insects, birds, and mammals. From otters playing in the ponds to woodpeckers drumming in the trees, the transformation has been nothing short of miraculous.What makes their story particularly inspiring is how accessible their methods are to everyone. As Brian explains, "Nature is very forgiving. Once you bring the habitats back, it will respond positively." Their experience demonstrates that even small actions can yield remarkable results. A wildlife pond—which can be as simple as a repurposed container on a balcony—can attract diverse aquatic life within days. Native wildflowers, whether in a meadow or container, provide critical food sources for pollinators. These small pockets of habitat, when created across neighborhoods, form vital connectivity that allows wildlife to thrive in urban and suburban settings.Beyond the ecological benefits, Wild Acres highlights the profound human connection to nature. Scientific research now confirms what Brian and Gillian witness regularly: time spent in natural spaces reduces stress hormones, improves mental clarity, and enhances overall wellbeing. Their workshops on pond creation, beekeeping, and wildlife gardening consistently sell out as people seek to reconnect with the natural world and make a positive difference.Ready to create your own patch of biodiversity paradise? Visit Wild Acres online to learn about their upcoming workshops or start simply with a small pond, native plants, or bird feeder in your garden. The journey toward ecological recovery begins with a single step—and as this inspiring couple proves, nature will gladly meet you halfway.You can connect with Wildacres here https://wildacres.ieSupport the showIf there is any topic you would like covered in future episodes, please let me know.

Wendy Panaino is the head of conservation at Tswalu in South Africa's Kalahari. If you listened to my podcast about the Deserts of Africa, you will remember the Kalahari. It is an exceptionally rich ecological area and Tswalu is a success story of rehabilitation and conservation. Wendy and I sat down while I was there and chatted about what it means to be a custodian of Africa's largest private nature reserve, it's fragile ecology, complex management of wildlife – especially the relationship between predator and prey – and her total commitment to conservation above all else. Enjoy this fascinating conversation. www.tintrunksafari.com Instagram: @tintrunksafari

It is hard to believe this is North East London at dawn. And yet it is. 5am, last Wednesday. Day break, on the 1st of May. Misted air, barely a breeze. Verdantly breathable air, filtered and cleaned by the dense surrounding woodland. When at 8am the park gates are unlocked, the people will come to walk the winding paths. Bathe in the atmosphere created by the trees. And breathe the restorative, country clean air.  This is what a nature reserve within a city does. It purifies the air, not just for the lungs but for the ears. Layers upon layers of veteran trees soften the city rumble whilst providing a myriad of roosting spots for the songbirds to sing. And as they sing, their mellifluous sounds echo and reflect off all the boughs, branches, and countless leaves, to form an aural brilliance that is wonderful to behold.  But behold the brilliance we rarely do. Rarely can do. 5am is not when most of us are around or want to be around. And perhaps, for the sake of the birds and their own sense of freedom in the trees that are their home, that's not such a bad thing. 5am is, shall we all agree, their time of day. Their chance to be on their own amongst their own kind. Be themselves, and be in the world, in their own particular way. Capturing an hour of this world, as it happened, and on a day when the sky was relatively free of planes and the nearby roads relatively free of traffic and sirens, is what the Lento box was there to do. Here is that hour of time, heard from behind the gates of the newly restored chapel at the heart of Abney Park nature reserve.   Our special thanks to Abney Park for allowing us to capture the dawn chorus from the chapel. We recorded this episode exactly three years after our last recording just before the major restoration project started in the chapel. Listen to the dawn chorus from inside the chapel in 2021, in episode 68. And more episodes from around Abney Park here.  

Researcher Michele Browne paid a visit to the East Coast Nature Reserve, where Eric gave her a sneak peek at some of the key avian singing stars he hopes to showcase on the Dawn Chorus . . . including, with a bit of luck, the skulking Grasshopper Warbler and the handsome Reed Bunting.

Spanish farmers in Madrid have held more protests, despite the European Commission announcing a review of its so-called 'green deal' which was designed to help the EU reach carbon neutrality by 2050. Farmers across Europe have voiced their anger at red tape and new environmental rules. Last week the Commission published a raft of proposed changes, which still have to be agreed. It says it'll cut back on red tape, allow individual member states more freedom over new 'greening' rules, and remove the demand that farmers must put a certain percentage of their land over to the environment. Conservationists have criticised the move as a backward step for the environment. The UK gets through around £68 million worth of scampi a year. but a conservation group says the current drive to make fishing for langoustine more environmentally friendly has failed. How sustainable is our scampi? We speak to a fisherman and an environmental campaigner.The Office for Environmental Protection is investigating whether there's been a failure to comply with the law governing Special Protection Areas for wild birds, in Northern Ireland and England. A similar investigation is being undertaken in Scotland, while in Wales there are concerns about how these sites are being run. S.P.A.s are legally designated sites that protect rare and threatened wild birds. The OEP says it's taking action because the recommendations from a review of these sites between 2015 and 2017 has still not been published.A new National Nature Reserve's been created on the South Devon coast at Budleigh Salterton. The Lower Otter Estuary is home to Dartford warblers, silver-studded blue butterflies, populations of sea trout, Atlantic salmon and eels.Presenter = Anna Hill Producer = Rebecca Rooney

It is the soundscape of a saltmarsh nature reserve - the daytime flora and fauna, birds, insects and landscape winding down before night time, a watershed between one part of a 24 hour cycle and another. It hopefully communicates that peaceful wave, interupted by a small moped going past on a track. I left this in as a reminder of how human noise invades the sonic world. Recorded by Mary Hooper.

In this weeks episode Niall and Ricky are bringing us the dawn chorus from BirdWatch Ireland's East Coast Nature Reserve (ECNR) in Newcastle, Co. Wicklow. Due to its diversity of habitats, the ECNR supports a wide range of species, from wrens, blackbirds, and robins to more locally confined species such as the sedge warbler, and so the soundscape in this episode is rich and textured. As the sun rises, Blackbirds and Song Thrushes are first off the mark, with the smaller species joining the chorus as darkness fades. Niall and Ricky explain why size matters in this scenario, as well as why the dawn chorus exists as a phenomenon at all, how birds can self-harmonise and much more. While Niall and Ricky chat, we hear the constant backdrop of the dawn chorus behind them, building as the episode progresses, perfectly accompanying their commentary. There are also moments of stillness punctuated throughout the episode, with Niall and Ricky simply sitting back and letting the birds do the talking.Bird of the Week, this week is the Grasshopper Warbler, a bird you're more likely to hear than see, making it a fitting choice for a Dawn Chorus episode.  In Your Nature features Ricky Whelan, biodiversity officer with Offaly County Council in conversation with  Niall Hatch of BirdWatch Ireland  and is edited by Ann-Marie Kelly. The series is supported by Laois, Offaly and Westmeath County Councils and the Heritage Council.

Recent breeding success at a nature reserve in South Africa has given conservationists hope for the survival of Africa's only resident penguin species, whose population has dropped by nearly 65% since 1989. Researchers are having success boosting breeding colonies near abundant food sources with the help of simple interventions like building nest boxes that mimic their guano burrows which keep the birds cool and safe in a world whose climate is becoming hotter and less predictable.

And I got 2H - Yes.  Is this an innoculation, i.e. from you?  I got 2H - Yes.  I asked this a few years ago and got the same answer.  Of course it is also a test of faith to see if we will believe and confess our sacrifice, Jesus, by Whose stripes we were healed..  Jas 1:2-8 Count it all joy, my brethren, when ye fall into manifold temptations; 3 knowing that the proving of your faith worketh patience. 4 And let patience have its perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, lacking in nothing.  5 But if any of you lacketh wisdom, let him ask of God, who giveth to all liberally and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. 6 But let him ask in faith, nothing doubting: for he that doubteth is like the surge of the sea driven by the wind and tossed. 7 For let not that man think that he shall receive anything of the Lord; 8 a doubleminded man, unstable in all his ways. Heb 10:23  let us hold fast the confession of our hope that it waver not; for he is faithful that promised:  So, as we see, the Lord is also inoculating us with their plague. Merriam Webster says: “Inoculation” is the act or process or an instance of inoculating especially: the introduction of a pathogen or antigen into a living organism to stimulate the production of antibodies within the body. It is beyond a coincedence that Amber just got this book on LULU and here is the test copy and cover. (What are the chances?) We see on the cover Aaron took the censer and ran between the dying and the living and stopped the plague.   Num 16:46-50 And Moses said unto Aaron, Take thy censer, and put fire therein from off the altar,(Represents the sacrifice of Jesus by whose stripes we are healed) and lay incense thereon (representing prayer in agreement with that), and carry it quickly unto the congregation, and make atonement for them: for there is wrath gone out from Jehovah; the plague is begun.   (An atonement is a sacrifice to cover us from the curse. Jesus sacrificed Himself to deliver us from the curse but also that we could sacrifice our self life to escape the curse.)    47 And Aaron took as Moses spake, and ran into the midst of the assembly; and, behold, the plague was begun among the people: and he put on the incense, and made atonement for the people. 48 And he stood between the dead and the living; and the plague was stayed.    (Jesus our High Priest stood between the dead (representing those who died without this sacrifice) and the living that we could partake of His life, for by Whose stripes we were healed. Exo 12:13  And the blood shall be to you for a token upon the houses where ye are: and when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and there shall no plague be upon you to destroy you, when I smite the land of Egypt.    How is the blood applied? Rom 3:23-26 for all have sinned, and fall short of the glory of God; 24 being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: 25 whom God set forth to be a propitiation, through faith, in his blood, to show his righteousness because of the passing over of the sins done aforetime, in the forbearance of God; 26 for the showing, I say, of his righteousness at this present season: that he might himself be just, and the justifier of him that hath faith in Jesus.   And 1Jn 1:7-9 but if we walk in the light (Of God's Word), as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another (What about those who hate fellowship with Christians who know their dark sins), and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanseth us from all sin. 8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. 9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.   Zec 14:12  And this shall be the plague wherewith Jehovah will smite all the peoples that have warred against Jerusalem: their flesh shall consume away while they stand upon their feet, and their eyes shall consume away in their sockets, and their tongue shall consume away in their mouth.    Psa 91:1-16 He that dwelleth in the secret place of the Most High Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. 2 I will say of Jehovah, He is my refuge and my fortress; My God, in whom I trust. 3 For he will deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, And from the deadly pestilence. 4 He will cover thee with his pinions, And under his wings shalt thou take refuge: His truth is a shield and a buckler.    5 Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night, Nor for the arrow that flieth by day; 6 For the pestilence that walketh in darkness, Nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday. 7 A thousand shall fall at thy side, And ten thousand at thy right hand; But it shall not come nigh thee. 8 Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold, And see the reward of the wicked. 9 For thou, O Jehovah, art my refuge! Thou hast made the Most High thy habitation;    10 There shall no evil befall thee, Neither shall any plague come nigh thy tent. 11 For he will give his angels charge over thee, To keep thee in all thy ways. 12 They shall bear thee up in their hands, Lest thou dash thy foot against a stone. 13 Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: The young lion and the serpent shalt thou trample under foot. 14 Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name. 15 He shall call upon me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble: I will deliver him, and honor him. 16 With long life will I satisfy him, And show him my salvation.   Is Jesus in danger of plagues?  No?  Then neither are you if you believe. In our renewed imagination we see Jesus in the mirror. 2Co 3:18 But we all, with unveiled face beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are transformed into the same image from glory to glory, even as from the Lord the Spirit.    We are like Jesus in this world. We are called the Body of Christ. 1Jn 4:17  Herein is love made perfect with us, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment; because as he is, even so are we in this world. Shalonda had a vision of merging into Jesus. Are you safe in there?  Luk 10:19  Behold, I have given you authority to tread upon serpents and scorpions (Demons), and over all the power of the enemy (Spirits of infirmity distribute plagues but we say NO. We have authority over all their power to hurt us.): and nothing shall in any wise hurt you.    Monday night prayer meeting myself several times telling you to point your fingers at saints in need and declare them healed, delivered, saved etc. With your renewed imagination see power come out of your finger by faith to do this work in them to do. And for them to receive their need through faith. Jesus said, He did always those things He saw of His Father so we do too.    Along with Jesus we speak to the mountain and dont doubt and we shall have it. Along with Jesus we say, “Be it unto you according yo your faith” and “As you have believed so shall it be unto you.”  When the two or more of us agree there is power. Did you receive monday night?  Did you give it out monday night.  Then both should believe you have received as Jesus comanded in Mark 11:23-24. Its not the method but the releasing of faith multiplied by numbers of people with faith.    The 1:11-11:1 Revelation? David Eells   In part 2 of Avoid the V@X Plague a verse was mentioned. It was Heb. 11:1 Now faith is assurance of things hoped for, a conviction of things not seen. When I read this verse in the broadcast the address numbers were reversed to Heb. 1:11. I actually read the verse this way, but immediately knew that it was 11:1 from memory. So, I corrected it in the text to reverse those numbers in the audio, which he did.   Then I looked at the “sent version” of my email to Casey and it was reversed back to 1:11. So, I asked Casey to change the text back again on the website to 11:1. I also sent the corrected text to myself and noticed that it had changed back again to 1:11. I deleted all previous drafts of my text to ensure there was some form of auto-correct happening. I wondered if the Lord was trying to tell me something.   We discovered what Heb. 1:11 says, Heb. 1:11 They shall perish; but thou continuest: And they all shall wax old as doth a garment. So, as we shall see, we figured that the two verses were speaking a message from the Lord that people will perish in the coming plagues without faith according to Heb. 11:1.   Then Eve had this dream concerning a variant that the Lord labeled 11:11 and she sent it to me.     God's Plague Variant 11:11 Eve Brast - 1/12/23 (David's notes in red)   I dreamed that I was in a narrow hallway near the entrance, inside of a building. (Jesus is the narrow Way and He is also the Door to the sheep fold by which we must enter.) I watched as Greg and Brandy came through the front door. (Greg means “Watchman” and he and Brandy represent the watchmen on the walls of Zion, as we will see.)   They were dressed in layers of clothing with scarves and toboggans on their heads. They both had one of those puffy North Face coats on top of their layered clothing. (This seems to indicate a time of very cold weather and also North Face is a play on the words, “Facing North” which is where the Bible says the Kingdom of God is located. Psa. 48:2 Beautiful in elevation, the joy of the whole earth, Is mount Zion, on the sides of the north, The city of the great King.)   Inside this building there seemed to be much concern from the people about the world events taking place, especially sickness and plagues that were going around. It seemed to be dominating all the conversations. (This is beginning to happen as more and more of God's judgments are beginning to fall on mankind through the DS powers that be.)   As Greg and Brandy passed me, I heard them talking about the new “variant” that was going around and that this was "the real deal" this time. I was wondering what number "the powers that be" had assigned to this new plague variant when, the voice of the Lord spoke from above and behind me and said, “It is variant 11:11.” (i.e. the Lord is calling it variant 11:11, no matter what the “powers that be” were calling it.) I saw the variant in a vision in the dream as a white scripture address 11:11. End.   I believe this dream is the answer to the riddle the Lord gave me of 1:11-11:1. (Heb. 1:11 They shall perish; but thou continuest: And they all shall wax old as doth a garment; Many will perish without the faith of Heb. 11:1 Now faith is assurance of things hoped for, a conviction of things not seen.)     Man-child Preserved Through Faction and Pharmakeia Attacks David Eells   On 1-11-23, I saw on my e-sword Bible search this: 2Ki 11:1 Now when Athaliah the mother of Ahaziah saw that her son was dead, she arose and destroyed all the seed royal. (Notice the addresses 1:11 and 11:1 Now here is a wonder. I had used this e-sword Bible search quite a few times after this 2Ki. 11:1 came up on 1/11 so it should not have been there; it should have been deleted. Another God thing!)   So, let's look at this text: 2Ki 11:1-21 Now when Athaliah (Whom I believe represents Jezebel, Witchcraft, and Faction, which is translated from the New Testament as Pharmakeia! Athaliah the mother of Ahaziah saw that her son was dead, she arose and destroyed all the seed royal. (Witchcraft and Faction killed the brethren of Jesus the Man-child, just like Herod did, and like Abimelech and the men of Shechem did, when the one man-child was preserved and prophesied a faction in the midst of their faction.)    2 But Jehosheba, the daughter of king Joram, sister of Ahaziah, took Joash the son of Ahaziah, and stole him away from among the king's sons that were slain, (So, one man-child survived as with Herod and with Abimelech and the men of Shechem.) even him and his nurse, and put them in the bedchamber; and they hid him from Athaliah, so that he was not slain; 3 And he was with her hid in the house of Jehovah six years. (Jesus went into Egypt to escape Herod) And Athaliah reigned over the land.    4 And in the seventh year Jehoiada sent and fetched the captains over hundreds of the Carites and of the guard, and brought them to him into the house of Jehovah; and he made a covenant with them, and took an oath of them in the house of Jehovah, and showed them the king's son. (The last man-child)   5 And he commanded them, saying, This is the thing that ye shall do: a third part of you, that come in on the sabbath, shall be keepers of the watch of the king's house; 6 and a third part shall be at the gate Sur; and a third part at the gate behind the guard: so shall ye keep the watch of the house, and be a barrier. 7 And the two companies of you, even all that go forth on the sabbath, shall keep the watch of the house of Jehovah about the king. (The military protected the Man-child till he was anointed. The Angels said that you are God's military. So exercise your authority over those who want to destroy the Man-child, as we will see in Michael's dream.)   8 And ye shall compass the king round about, every man with his weapons in his hand; and he that cometh within the ranks, let him be slain: and be ye with the king when he goeth out, and when he cometh in. (We just received this text in our morning prayer meeting.) 9 And the captains over hundreds did according to all that Jehoiada the priest commanded; and they took every man his men, those that were to come in on the sabbath, with those that were to go out on the sabbath and came to Jehoiada the priest.   10 And the priest delivered to the captains over hundreds the spears and shields that had been king David's, which were in the house of Jehovah. 11 And the guard stood, every man with his weapons in his hand, from the right side of the house to the left side of the house, along by the altar and the house, by the king round about.    (This was written in the margin of my bible On 11-12-16 (Notice the number!) which is also the address of the verse 11:12, when I asked the Lord, “Will you give me authority, faith and Mercy to take down Faction” [i.e. in church and state] and put my finger on this verse which I took to mean, “Yes”:) 11:12 Then he brought out the king's son, and put the crown upon him, and gave him the testimony; and they made him king, and anointed him; and they clapped their hands, and said, Long live the king.   13 And when Athaliah heard the noise of the guard and of the people, she came to the people into the house of Jehovah: 14 and she looked, and, behold, the king stood by the pillar, as the manner was, and the captains and the trumpets by the king; and all the people of the land rejoiced, and blew trumpets. Then Athaliah rent her clothes, and cried, Treason! treason! (Like, Killary and Pelosi who both met their demise.)    15 And Jehoiada the priest commanded the captains of hundreds that were set over the host, and said unto them, Have her forth between the ranks; and him that followeth her slay with the sword. For the priest said, Let her not be slain in the house of Jehovah. (We agree, no faction or witchcraft is permitted in the “house of the Lord”.) 16 So they made way for her; and she went by the way of the horses' entry to the king's house: and there was she slain. (In GITMO)   17 And Jehoiada made a covenant between Jehovah and the king and the people, that they should be Jehovah's people; between the king also and the people. 18 And all the people of the land (People of the Land? This we have received in dreams, visions, and words that the DS uprising will come against the apostate Church and we can already see that Pharmakeia, or witchcraft, has come against them in the “Died Suddenly” plague.) all the people of the land went to the house of Baal, and brake it down; his altars and his images brake they in pieces thoroughly, and slew Mattan the priest of Baal before the altars.(Mattan represented the apostate leadership. Baal was the false Jesus in the apostate Churches.)   And the priest appointed officers over the house of Jehovah. 19 And he took the captains over hundreds, and the Carites, and the guard, and all the people of the land; and they brought down the king from the house of Jehovah, and came by the way of the gate of the guard unto the king's house. And he sat on the throne of the kings. 20 So all the people of the land rejoiced, and the city was quiet. And Athaliah they had slain with the sword at the king's house. 21 Jehoash (The Man-child) was seven years old when he began to reign.     Assassination Dream  Michael Hare - 12/31/22 (David's notes in red) I dreamed I was standing in the kitchen near the sink and saw outside a big silver truck that was trailering a very large white speed boat behind it. (Silver and white seem initially a positive thing. But outward appearances can be deceiving.) I yelled at David and told him someone was coming up the driveway.(Before this man showed up to visit us in real life, we considered it a good thing.) The truck just came on into the garage with the boat sticking outside. David went out into the garage to see who it was and by the time I got to the garage door and opened it, I saw David sitting on his knees in a bowed position. He looked up at me with a reserved look of fate on his face!  I knew instantly that the driver of the truck pulling the boat had a pistol pointed at David. Fear for David struck me very hard and then the dream ended. (The pistol was to give me “a shot”; meaning assassination by the vaccine plague. I had asked the Lord if he had the plague and got a positive answer, confirmed by lot. The boat represented the fact that this man did not want to get into the Water of the Word, which happened before my eyes in the natural. Then, below, we received a confirming dream of this person not receiving the Water, but leaving in anger and being judged.)    Judgment upon the Enemies of the Man-child Reformers Alenna Timoshchuk - 12/30/22 (David's notes in red) I had a dream… [about a couple]. Their names were either Annie and Gary or Anita and Andre. I looked up both sets of names and they both meant about the same thing. Annie means “grace and favor” and Anita means, “graceful and merciful”. Gary means, “spear” and Andre means, “warrior”. (As we will see, this represents people who fight against the Man-child Davids.) So here is the dream. This new couple came to UBM and their names were one of the ones I mentioned above. (We know who this couple is. They are the ones from Michael's dream.) They seemed sweet. The man was tall and had a beard and the woman was shorter and had dark hair. (Those were the only characteristics I could remember.) They joined for one meeting and then the woman was at home while the man went to a meeting with Michael and David… Michael and David gently gave this man a correction and he immediately got very angry and left the meeting. (Anger resides in the bosom of a fool. Fools hate correction.) He was walking home in a rage and right before he reached his driveway, I saw leaves and dust start swirling around him and a fire rose up out of the ground and consumed him. When the fire dissipated, all that was left, were his bones. (This destruction seems like a spiritual judgment that happens to the factious when those demons take them over.) My husband David and I were driving by their house and we saw his skeleton on the ground right before his driveway and he told me that we needed to go in and let his wife know what happened. We came to her door and she let us in. My husband exchanged a few pleasantries with her, then nodded pointedly at me and stepped out of the house. I came up to her with tears in my eyes and gave her a hug. As I was hugging her, I told her everything that happened to her husband. She cried a little and then stepped out of my embrace and wiped her tears and smiled a little. Then she got busy in her kitchen and started making tea as she was expecting some other women from our fellowship to come over. I watched her, surprised that she was able to compose herself so quickly, and had this sense that the Lord set her free and delivered her of a burden. After I wrote the dream down, I asked the Lord for a verse and received Mark 10:48 and my finger landed on the words “many rebuked him”  And many rebuked him, that he should hold his peace: but he cried out the more a great deal, Thou son of David, have mercy on me. I prayed asking the Lord for a verse to confirm this dream and my finger landed on Psa 1:5-6 Therefore, the wicked shall not stand in the judgment, Nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous. For Jehovah knoweth the way of the righteous; But the way of the wicked shall perish. We believe that many who will not listen will be judged by these plagues. We have been told by the Lord that He would use the plagues to remove people who are hindering His leadership in families and assemblies.   Disregarding the Prophet's Voice David Eells - 12/28/22   Last night I was given a vision that I believe is about the prophet Jesus' voice being heard through His vessels but then being disregarded. This caused them to be cut off as in Acts 3:23  And it shall be, that every soul that shall not hearken to that prophet, shall be utterly destroyed from among the people.)     I was looking out of my window at a little bird with no particular markings that was singing. (The Lord showed me that this represents His pleasant voice going forth and at first being admired and accepted like some have come to us and listened.) Then the bird swooped down and landed on the concrete at the base of my house.   As I watched, the bird morphed into a bigger hawk or eagle type shape. (The Lord showed me that this represented the vessel they first listened to, who were based on the concrete or rock, becoming a judgment on those who ceased to listen. The Lamb becomes the Lion.   These people who ceased to listen and have gotten judged has happened for years now. Mat. 21:42 Jesus saith unto them, Did ye never read in the scriptures, The stone which the builders rejected, The same was made the head of the corner; This was from the Lord, And it is marvelous in our eyes? ) (This eagle represents the anointed Man-child which the angels confirmed was the meaning of my sighting of a large eagle flying low at the back door of my house.)   The Owl Becomes an Eagle Marie Kelton - 1/14/23 (David's notes in red)   In this dream, I was with my little sister in Chicago. We were outside and it was daytime, we saw a little brown owl perched on a tree. (As we will see, this represents the pre-anointed, wise Man-child.) We looked into the sky and saw two eagles perched on a cloud. (These are the “great cloud of witnesses of Jesus who passed on their words to today's Man-child Body.) Then we saw, the little owl fly up to the eagles. (Representing the Man-child caught up to the throne.) I had a thought that the eagles in the cloud were the owl's parents. (These modern-day Man-child's are direct descendants of the original two by two witnesses of Jesus.)   As we were taking pictures of it with our cell phones, I realized that it wasn't a little brown owl but an eagle that was flying to the two eagles on the cloud. (The Man-child exhibits the gift of wisdom before the anointing to be an eagle.) Then I heard David say in the dream, “The Lord wants us to be like eagles and not like owls.” (Owls are more earthly birds flying near to the ground, whereas, eagles fly far more heavenly as you would expect with a latter rain anointing.) Then I woke up. Back to my vision: Then, the vision changed and I was sharing with some people in my house who were listening to the Word intently and then as I was speaking they suddenly ignored me as I spoke and started to chatter senselessly to one another. They interrupted me rudely and became stupid. (This is what happens when one doesn't act on what they hear and end up factioning away. We have been told by the Lord in dreams and visions that many of these people will be taken out by the plagues.)   I noted through this process that our brother Greg was watching and listening to this scenario. Then I woke up.(The name Greg means, “Vigilant, Watchful.” I believe that this indicates that the watchful and vigilant righteous will learn from this scenario how important respecting the voice of the Lord is.)   So, we see that those who do not listen and hinder the truth may be separated and removed by the plagues.   Brandy had this dream below a few days before I had my revelation.      The Scoffers Won't Listen Brandy Arney - 12/26/22 (David's notes in red)   I dreamed that my wife Amber and I had been in a classroom setting in a school. (The school represents apostate Christianity in Babylonish captivity.) We were seated among the students and I was talking to them about fasting and its benefits. (Fasting represents denying your flesh.)   Many of the students were scoffing with each statement I made. (The flesh hates the crucified life and those who walk after the flesh will die. Rom. 8:12-14 So then, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh: 13 for if ye live after the flesh, ye must die; but if by the Spirit ye put to death the deeds of the body, ye shall live. 14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God.   And 2Pe. 3:3,7  knowing this first, that in the last days mockers shall come with mockery, walking after their own lusts, … 7 but the heavens that now are, and the earth, by the same word have been stored up for fire, being reserved against the day of judgment and destruction of ungodly men. )   But there was one young man sitting to my left that was asking sincere questions and I began to address him directly as he was looking up to me with undivided attention. I felt love for him as he was looking at me with his stringy hair partially covering his eyes.(This young man represents the remnant that is coming out from among them. Rev. 18:4,8 … Come forth, my people, out of her, that ye have no fellowship with her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues… 8 Therefore in one day shall her plagues come, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire; for strong is the Lord God who judged her. )   We were there, it seemed, to try to evangelize the students, however, there was no interest save for the one young mixed- race boy that was seated next to me. (This boy represents all races who listen and come out since he is “mixed race.” John 8:47 He that is of God heareth the words of God: for this cause ye hear them not, because ye are not of God.)   I gently spoke to everyone, saying to them that when we fast, God works in us to help us in every way. It was as if each time I answered a question the Holy Spirit would rise up in me and answer the question in a more direct tone which made the scoffing and disrespectful students more agitated and vocal. (Mat. 10:19-20 But when they deliver you up, be not anxious how or what ye shall speak: for it shall be given you in that hour what ye shall speak. 20 For it is not ye that speak, but the Spirit of your Father that speaketh in you.)   They would talk over me, as I spoke, and bark loudly when I explained to them how the flesh would weaken more and more with each day of fasting. (The more we deny self, the more self dies and Christ takes its place. 2Co 4:16 Wherefore we faint not; but though our outward man is decaying, yet our inward man is renewed day by day.)   When there were no more questions, Amber and I got up and walked out into the hallway and started towards the front door to leave the school. This school we were leaving seemed to be a typical school of today. It was full of lost students and worldly leadership. (Hos 5:15  I will go and return to my place, till they acknowledge their offence, and seek my face: in their affliction they will seek me earnestly.)    Near the entrance of the school there was a glass trophy case facing the main doors of the building. (The trophy case represents their idols of self-accomplishment and competition.)    To the right of it was a framed painting or poster which resembled the African continent. (The African continent represents the beginning of the UBM revival that we have had dreams about.) The land mass was green and surrounded by water on all sides. Over the land there was a giant red swooping arrow which was pointing to a specific area of the map. There was a small cartoon bubble that gave an explanation to the arrow's meaning.    It read something like, "The point of the arrow represents the current real time progress of the group who are traveling through the wilderness; these are being led by Michael”.  (Michael means, “Who is like God?” And represents the Man-child who is like God and leading the “un-scoffers” through the wilderness tribulation.) I either was told or I just knew by the preceding travel progress line that this group had completed roughly 70 percent of the journey. (70 years was the point at which the captive Israelites / Church followed the Man-child and returned to their promised land.)   The direction of the travel had been from the north headed south, southwest. (When the Israelites/Church left Babylonish captivity, this was the direction they had to travel to get to the promised land to rebuild the kingdom.) They had traveled through the middle part of the country or continent and were headed towards the water or coastline. I felt somehow proud that they/we had made the journey and that the ending was in sight. (The coastline represents the end of their journey out of captivity.  Zep. 2:6-7 And the sea-coast shall be pastures, with cottages for shepherds and folds for flocks. 7 And the coast shall be for the remnant of the house of Judah; they shall feed their flocks thereupon; in the houses of Ashkelon shall they lie down in the evening; for Jehovah their God will visit them, and bring back their captivity.) Then I woke up.     Big Waves Of Judgement Coming  Claire Pienaar - 12/8/22 (David's notes in red)   I dreamed Riaan was driving our silver van, and I was sitting at the back of the van with my children. (I am being used in this dream to represent the Bride because my name means “brilliant” and the Bride's garments are bright and pure as is spoken of in Rev. 19:8 And it was given unto her that she should array herself in fine linen, bright and pure: for the fine linen is the righteous acts of the saints. Riaan represents the Man-Child as his name means “little lion king”. The silver van represents the Holy Spirit, which is the vehicle which gives us the “power to move” like Christ. I am sitting at the back of the van, which represents the Bride in submission to her Lord, as well as in the rest with her fruit [represented by Claire's children]).     Two other people were with me who were my parents in the dream. (They likely represent the original gospel, once and for all delivered to the saints. Jude 3: 3 Beloved, while I was giving all diligence to write unto you of our common salvation, I was constrained to write unto you exhorting you to contend earnestly for the faith which was once for all delivered unto the saints.).    …Riaan had driven us so far into the wilderness and we could go no further. There was no more road, and the bush was too thick. He made a U-turn with the van. We had not started driving forward yet, and were perpendicular to the road, when a massive rushing wave of water as tall as a 2 stories came hurtling down the road.    I thought “Wow. No time to escape”. Instead of the water crashing over the van and destroying it, the van lifted up and rode the wave of water, but the water seeped in through the van's floor. The van was up high on the wave for a considerable amount of time. Then it crashed down and I thought “It's a miracle the tires haven't popped”.   ...In a flash we were in a wilderness exploration place. I remember it as being the same place Riaan was translated to in one of his dreams. ... It's called “Russell Falls” (Russell means “little ruddy one, little red-haired one. So we were translated to where the flesh falls!).     We stood on the deck at the visitor's center of this Nature Reserve. I looked up in the tree that was growing through the deck, and my old History Professor was there (Representing Jesus, our history professor, as He spoke or professed and everything was created.). I greeted him and he greeted me by name! I was amazed he had remembered me. (I asked the Lord who the professor was and I flipped my Bible open by faith at random on the phrase “light of the world”, from Mat 5:14).    I asked him how work at the university was going, and he replied, “I have been made redundant”. (i.e. no longer needed or useful, which is exactly the world's attitude toward Christ and His Word.) He asked me what I was doing, and I said, “Everything I was created for: living for God, and raising my family, helping my husband, learning”. He seemed pleased.     There were other people in the refuge [area] but they were not waiting on the deck. In the dream there was a beach and these people were terribly close to the open water. (Indicating that they will be subjected to the tsunami of judgment.) One of these people was a boy who committed suicide who was in my senior year in high school. He was with other young men from my high school days.(Many will commit spiritual suicide because they didn't heed the warnings of the prophets.)    We were supposed to wait there for one whole day. We had no internet connection, no cell phone reception, nothing.(Representing not giving heed to what man is communicating and the disinformation and propaganda that is being perpetuated by many media outlets including many in the alternative media. Ultimately, true disciples can not go beyond what the Word of God says which is represented by Claire and her family being on the deck (or in the Ark) with Jesus our Professor.) ...Then I woke up.     I asked the Lord for a word by faith at random and received Neh 2: 19-20, with my finger on "Sanballat and Tobiah the servant" (Sanballat means “bramble-bush; or enemy in secret.” Tobiah means “Yahweh is good”.)  But when Sanballat the Horonite, and Tobiah the servant, the Ammonite, and Geshem the Arabian, heard it, they laughed us to scorn, and despised us, (Here again are the scoffers who will receive judgment.) and said, What is this thing that ye do? will ye rebel against the king? 20 Then answered I them, and said unto them, The God of heaven, he will prosper us; therefore we his servants will arise and build: but ye have no portion, nor right, nor memorial, in Jerusalem.(Nehemiah represents those whom the Lord uses to administer the judgements.)   I also received Lamentations 1:9 by faith at random:  Her filthiness was in her skirts; she remembered not her latter end; Therefore is she come down wonderfully; she hath no comforter: Behold, O Jehovah, my affliction; for the enemy hath magnified himself. (These verses give a pretty clear indication of why the judgement is coming.)   I asked the Lord to help me with this dream, and I received by faith at random, Jonah 2:7 When my soul fainted within me, I remembered Jehovah; And my prayer came in unto thee, into thy holy temple. (Jonah represents what to do to escape the judgements).      "Project Ark” Deb Horton - 12/31/22 (David's notes in red)   I dreamed I was in a city and it seemed to be a grayish, cloudy day. There were gray buildings, gray sidewalks, and the colors were very muted and washed-out. I was standing in front of an office building, maybe a skyscraper, but my vision was extremely limited to my immediate surroundings. (The gray city represents Babylon which is dead in its sins.)   I was in a conversation with a man I didn't know, nor did he know me. It was just one of those conversations people strike up when they're waiting somewhere and become bored, or make a comment that another person responds to and it turns into a friendly exchange.    I must have asked him about his job because he said, "Project Ark" or "The Ark." I was excited when I heard that, but he didn't understand why I was excited. I said, "Don't you know what that means?" and he just looked at me with a blank expression. End. (He was a member of the Babylonish city and though he was bringing people into the beginning of the Kingdom he did not know he would have to escape the wrath of God to come since most of these people believe the rapture will deliver them from all trouble.) I asked Father to give me a verse by faith at random about the overall dream and received, (Isa.9:6-7) For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. 7 Of the increase of his government and of peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to establish it, and to uphold it with justice and with righteousness from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of Jehovah of hosts will perform this. (This represents the Man-child, Jesus, and the repetition of history, the Man-child of our day. Both of their jobs were to preserve people from the wrath to come. Respectively, in 70 AD and then in our day, by getting them into the Ark.) The Ark was a hiding place from the curse represented by the waters.   Hide in Me from the Coming Pestilence Marie Kelton - 1/2/23 (David's notes in red)   During our meeting, I had an open vision of the Lord sitting on a throne as I was sitting on His lap. I heard Him say, “Hide in me. Hide in me from the coming pestilence.” I saw myself merge into Him after He spoke those words. (I felt there was a sense of urgency [in the Lord's voice] when He was telling me to “hide in him.”)   I then had another vision of me with a white head covering on. I watched from heaven as an asteroid coming from the sky hit a city that was on the earth. (The impact of this coming plague could be as destructive as an asteroid from heaven. This could be a spiritual representation of God's judgment on Babylon of pestilence since the Lord told her to “Hide in Me from the coming pestilence.”) The city blew up and dark gray smoke was coming from the city (representing Babylon).    I thought of the song, "You are my hiding place, whenever I am afraid, I will trust in you.”   This Isn't a Game Samuel Fire - 1/11/23 (David's notes in red)  After praying, I saw a vision of me, my wife and all the brethren. We were all lined up as though ready for a track race. Each of us had a giant rubber band strapped around our waist. We were observed by a jeering and condescending crowd but they never got too close. (The crowd is the World and their carnal perspective; ridiculing those who pursue Christ.)(Again, we see here the scoffers who won't listen.) An official, who looked like Michael Hare was there with instructions and a starter flag. He explained we all had a pole on our lane. We were to stretch this rubber band and touch the pole. He explained further that no one has actually touched the pole by themselves (i.e. in their own strength and efforts.) and [that the ones who relied on their own ability experienced], the rubber band recoil back [and they failed to reach the pole]. He said to be careful and know your goal. Zec 4:6  Then he answered and spake unto me, saying, This is the word of Jehovah unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit, saith Jehovah of hosts.   I could then see ... ahead to the pole. I realized that there was a person [who was standing] as the pole. He looked like the Lord Jesus and was standing there with open arms and a very warm smile. I knew, then, that this was more than just a game and to be taken very seriously. (Our deepest desire is the Lord, [to manifest Him should be] our goal in life) Rom 14:18  For who herein serveth Christ is well-pleasing to God, and approved of men.   Then Michael waved the flag and shouted, “Go!". Everyone was serious and focused on reaching their goal. I didn't look anymore to see about the others, and just wanted to reach the Lord. I heard the crowd yelling out things like, "No one ever reaches the pole", and “You're weak" and "Why are you doing this?".(The religious people want to discourage us because they do not believe that we are called to Christ likeness.)   Once I started, I realized that this rubber band was the enemy trying to hold me back! I remembered the verse in Php. 4:13  I can do all things in him that strengtheneth me. Also, Php 3:12-14  Not that I have already received, or am already made perfect: but I follow on, if so be that I may apprehend that for which also I was apprehended by Christ Jesus. 13  Brethren, I reckon not myself yet to have apprehended: but one thing, forgetting the things behind, and stretching forward to those before, 14  I follow on toward the mark unto the prize of the upward calling of God in Christ Jesus.   I pressed on and was at my body's physical limits. I saw on the ground markers of other people's best achievements. I looked up and saw the adoring love from our Lord and I thought, “Nothing can sustain me but my Lord God.” (The Lord has completed and conquered all, and He, in us, can do the same.) (2Co. 12:9 And he hath said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my power is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my weaknesses, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.)  1Jn 4:4  Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is the one in you than the one in the world. So, I took more steps, but my steps were as if something else was giving me the power. (By faith we are supernaturally charged and can move mountains).  2Co 5:7  (for we walk through faith, not through sight) And Mat 21:21  And Jesus answered and said to them, Amen I say unto you, If ye shall have faith, and doubt not, ye shall not only do what is done to the fig tree, but even if ye shall say to this mountain, Be taken up and cast into the sea, it shall be done.   Then I heard the rubber band, which was attached at the starting line, begin to make snapping noises. I knew that just pressing in and pushing forward was my deepest desire; to be in His Arms. I then heard a snap and the rubber band just dropped and drooped around me. It didn't even make a recoil. It didn't fling and hit me, but sagged like an oversized ribbon and dragged behind me.  (The rubber band represents the enemy trying to hold us all back from fully manifesting Jesus and trying to also stop us from being with Him. The further away we get [from our starting point on our journey towards Christ], the rubber band around us gets tighter and the more intense the enemy gets, the closer we get to Jesus. The enemy gives us trials, more and more increasingly difficult and when we overcome, the rubber band snaps and the enemy is defeated!)  Before I knew it, I was already at the pole and the Lord was indeed smiling greatly. Then I woke up. (I realized that we need to press on to the best prize, Jesus, despite every resistance. We are to remain true to the Word and break through the challenges.)     Pure Food Satisfies Those Truly Hungry Gaynold Mozer - 1/9/23 (David's notes in red)   I was in a gymnasium similar to the one my children attended.  Rows of chairs were set up facing a stage where there were several people sitting. These chairs were filled with those attending this event. (From the beginning I felt those on stage were the apostate preachers and those attending were a representation of their followers.)   Someone on stage was talking, but few people were actually listening. Instead many were talking amongst themselves, laughing and joking around. They were not serious about listening to the words being spoken to them. (Many were there to put their time in and call it good for the rest of the week.)   Behind the rows of chairs were white tables with many white bowls filled with what looked to me to be white, hot cereal.  Everything there was white.  There was not a set time to eat, but occasionally someone would get up and walk by the tables.  Many looked, but most kept on walking and walked right out the door. (Showing no appreciation for the pure Word.)   There were a few who took a bowl. These were the ones who went up the stairs to go on the stage that was to the right of the other stage [on the left]. (Those on the left are the stubborn goats.) The [stage on the right] was enclosed with red velvet curtains. (I had not seen this stage in the beginning.) (Nobody does!) I didn't know what was behind the curtain until someone with a white bowl parted the curtain enough to walk back behind the right stage.    It was then that I saw David standing with a book in his hand. There were people eating at a white table in front of David. He was holding the Bible, teaching the true word of God that these people were desiring to hear. (I felt that David was representing the Man-child reformer Body. The white bowls of white food on the tables represented the books he has written. They all looked alike because they all had the pure word of God in them. The red velvet curtains set these people apart from all the rest. They were covered by the blood of Jesus. They were not distracted by the behavior of the worldly Church.)   Back to the dream: Later as I looked over the gymnasium, I could see that most of the chairs were gone, but there were a few empty chairs sitting amongst candy wrappers and other papers strewn on the floor. (The apostates only want to partake of sugary things.) The majority of the people left without eating the white food. Some did look at the food, but few partook of it. Most just walked out quietly. (I felt the few empty chairs still sitting on the floor belonged to those who were truly hungry and were now behind the red velvet curtain where truth was being taught.) They were the ones who went away satisfied!   The verse I received by faith at random for this dream was Eze. 12:2 (My finger was on the word dwellest.) Son of man, thou dwellest in the midst of the rebellious house, that have eyes to see, and see not, that have ears to hear, and hear not; for they are a rebellious house. (What sorrow Jesus must feel as He stands in their midst. This chapter is very much for today, reminding us that things cannot continue, there will be judgment coming soon.)    This verse brought back to my remembrance a vision I had while attending a meeting at the last fellowship my husband and I had joined in the past. In the vision, there was barely any light in the room, but I saw Jesus crying as He walked between the tables. (I was not allowed to share this vision with them.)   I asked for another verse by faith at random for the red velvet curtain and received Rev. 1:7-8 My finger was between vs. 7 and 8, (in context 5-8) and from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, the firstborn of the dead, and ruler of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loveth us, and loosed us from our sins by his blood; 6 and he made us to be a kingdom, to be priests unto his God and father; to him be the glory and the dominion for ever and ever.  Amen. 7 Behold, he cometh with the clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they that pierced him; and all the tribes of the earth shall mourn over him. Even so. Amen. 8 I am the Alpha and the Omega, saith the Lord God, who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.       Every Knee Will Bow Judy Fahrnow - 12/4/22 (David's notes in red)   I dreamed about the Lord coming on a cloud. I knew that Jesus was coming, but I saw faces of fear. There were a few happy faces. I saw a young girl with short black hair standing & pulling her hair out. (These are the rebellious goats who are submitted to darkness.)   I had a small Bible in my hand and I told people, “Don't fear or be worried, it says here in the Bible that WE WIN!" I just went around to everyone and kept saying that phrase while holding my Bible out in front. I also said, "Every knee will bow and every tongue will confess that Jesus is Lord. Be happy!"     But the girl keep pulling her black hair out. (Some people who are submitted to darkness know that they are not ready to meet the Lord, but the ones that are ready will not be ashamed at His coming. 1Jo 2:28 And now, my little children, abide in him; that, if he shall be manifested (in us), we may have boldness, and not be ashamed before him at his coming.)   Then we saw Jesus coming on the cloud and there was a lot of color all around Him. (Representing the attributes of the light. Jesus is the Light of the world.) Then I woke up.    I received by faith at random Pro 17:4 (My finger was on “an evil-doer”.) An evil-doer giveth heed to wicked lips; And a liar giveth ear to a mischievous tongue. 5 Whoso mocketh the poor [in spirit] reproacheth his Maker; And he that is glad at calamity shall not be unpunished.     All the Tribes of the Earth Will Mourn Vanessa Weeks - 1/11/21(David's notes in red)   (Notice the date of this dream is 1-11. This is also the gematria of the Man-child.)   I dreamed that it was very dark outside and I saw destruction several places. Some of these things were natural disasters like earthquakes and tornados.    Then I saw some people and they appeared dark because of the darkness. Some of these people were standing and some kneeling but they were together in a group.   Then these people started to mourn and I heard it very clearly and it was very sad. As I heard them mourning, I thought , “All the tribes of the earth will mourn." Then I woke up.   Rev 1:7  Behold, he cometh with the clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they that pierced him; and all the tribes of the earth shall mourn over him. Even so, Amen. (Those who have persecuted His disciples have persecuted Him.)     The Man-child Manifested in His Reformers Tiannah Fire - 1/10/23 (David's notes in red) I dreamt that God had raised up a small number of individual men all around the world and they were manifesting Jesus and their 100 fold authority and boldness in Christ. The men weren't physically together but they were each in all different locations. They got persecuted, however, it didn't move them because it was just Jesus working in them. When the persecution would come to these men, it would just bounce off of them and it couldn't hurt or touch them. ...(This is as it was with Jesus and His disciples up until their crucifixion.)   The men would travel around the place with absolute basic living not even having a normal place to stay most of the time, and they would be followed by those who wanted to learn to manifest Jesus. (After the mid tribulation period this may be true since disciples will not be able to buy nor sell.)I saw one man named Timothy (meaning, “Honoring God” or “Honored by God”). God was using him and he had a group of people that followed him and they were living out in the bush [or tribulation wilderness] and he was teaching them how to exercise their authority and manifest Jesus. He didn't really manifest many emotions like humans do, but was serious about God and calm, gentle, compassionate, but also bold and fierce and mentally strong. Timothy moved around but at this time was staying in a tiny blue silver caravan and all those following him just lived outside the caravan, sleeping under the stars. Timothy was teaching them all how to follow Jesus and walk as He walked. I then saw Chuc from the UBM worship team, as one of these men, and he was manifesting the boldness and authority in Christ also. He had a group of people following him that he was raising up and teaching how to walk as Jesus. He was doing the same as Timothy, except in a different area and different circumstances. Then I woke up.      Select Language Afrikaans Albanian Amharic Arabic Armenian Assamese Aymara Azerbaijani Bambara Basque Belarusian Bengali Bhojpuri Bosnian Bulgarian Catalan Cebuano Chichewa Chinese (Simplified) Chinese (Traditional) Corsican Croatian Czech Danish Dhivehi Dogri Dutch Esperanto Estonian Ewe Filipino Finnish French Frisian Galician Georgian German Greek Guarani Gujarati Haitian Creole Hausa Hawaiian Hebrew Hindi Hmong Hungarian Icelandic Igbo Ilocano Indonesian Irish Italian Japanese Javanese Kannada Kazakh Khmer Kinyarwanda Konkani Korean Krio Kurdish (Kurmanji) Kurdish (Sorani) Kyrgyz Lao Latin Latvian Lingala Lithuanian Luganda Luxembourgish Macedonian Maithili Malagasy Malay Malayalam Maltese Maori Marathi Meiteilon (Manipuri) Mizo Mongolian Myanmar (Burmese) Nepali Norwegian Odia (Oriya) Oromo Pashto Persian Polish Portuguese Punjabi Quechua Romanian Russian Samoan Sanskrit Scots Gaelic Sepedi Serbian Sesotho Shona Sindhi Sinhala Slovak Slovenian Somali Spanish Sundanese Swahili Swedish Tajik Tamil Tatar Telugu Thai Tigrinya Tsonga Turkish Turkmen Twi Ukrainian Urdu Uyghur Uzbek Vietnamese Welsh Xhosa Yiddish Yoruba Zulu Powered by Translate Printer-friendly version
