In the dream I was walking in
rugged hills, separated from others and alone.
I was hoping others would find me soon because I was thirsty. I looked out over the ridged mountains as I
descended down a side from on high.
There was a royal cluster of 5 mountains in the distance, which looked
like red marble with ribbons of white throughout it. All the ridged mountains were made of the
same marble-looking substance, but were low, though sharply ridged. I understood that it was a time of judgment
and I had been shown what was to take place in the land, for no matter how tall
or great the mountains were, they would bear God’s judgment.
Then I was in a
house that was being built. It was on a
mountain made of dirt (the usual things mountains were made of) and overlooked
all the other mountains, and was high above them. There was a room inside the house where wood
was sawn (I saw the table with the saw on it), and the room had a window which
overlooked all the other mountains. A
man came in briefly and talked with me but did not stay. After he left I asked the Lord, saying “I
wish you would give me just one man” (to labor there and finish the work). End of dream.
The Lord said that
the mountains in this dream were scarlet, and referred me to Rev 17:3. He told me that I was walking in the city of
the Great Prostitute, and that I had seen the 5 hills that were, and are no
more (Rev 17:9-10). He is speaking
spiritually, for it is a spiritual city of unfaithfulness to God. The white ribbons in the scarlet marble are
veins of truth, for she, the Prostitute, was given truth yet became unfaithful
to it.
The lower, ridged
mountains are made of the same material as the 5 hills which are part of the 7
which support the Prostitute and represent spiritual unfaithfulness also.
The house being
built from wood on the highest mountain is the House of the Lord, being built
on the mountain of the Lord. The house
is unfinished, and deserted. I am
praying for God to send laborers, for we need to finish the labors of those who
went before us.
The window is for
seers, prophets, and those to whom the Lord will give eyes to see the hour and
season we live in. We are near the
ending of a season, and the beginning of another. We need to pick up the tools and finish what
is appointed to us to do. God is
building His kingdom.
There is a
prophecy about the house of the Lord in Isaiah 56:7. It is exciting to think that the Lord is building
a place of prayer and joy in our midst.
It is a place of offerings and sacrifices, where outsiders and those cut
off are accepted by God (Is 56:3-7). God
receives all men who obey Him. Yet this is what caused the former workers on
His house to cease their labors. Men no
longer receive one another, accepting the work God has done in them and through
them. Because men trust in themselves,
they reject outsiders.
Jesus asks us to
receive one another, and in doing so, receive their gifts, callings, and all
the work God has done in them.
“He who receives you receives me, and he who
receives me receives the one who sent me.
Anyone who receives a prophet because he is a prophet will receive a
prophet’s reward, and anyone who receives a righteous man because he is a righteous
man will receive a righteous man’s reward.
And if anyone gives even a cup of cold water to one of these little ones
because he is My disciple, I tell you the truth, he will certainly not lose his
reward.” (Mt 10:40-42).
We cannot finish
the work of the Lord in our cities and communities if we reject our brothers
and sisters. Though the past laborers
were good at measuring and cutting, they were not good at measuring their
brethren, and cut them out of the work of the Lord. And so it sits unfinished. When the workers hold God’s purposes for His
house as valuable, they will build for Him and not for themselves. The house will be for all who love and obey
God, and at that time, when the house of the Lord is finished, people from all
nations will enter in to worship Him.
